《Man Huang Feng Bao》 Chapter 01: Big Senior Apprentice Brother Storm in the Wilderness, Chapter 01: Big Senior Apprentice Brother The Southern border of Da Qin Empire, Cloud Mist Mountain. Looking down from above the clouds, the boundless earth was enveloped by the morning mist. Only countless majestic and arduous mountains could be seen above the clouds. Countless mountains were standing in great numbers on the boundless earth. The sun had just raised from the horizon, but there was already a long queue of people at the foot of a mountain. All the families within the radius of ten thousand miles were already competing to send their children to Cloud Mist Sect. All with the hope that their children would pass the test and finally become the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect which had a long history to it. A chance like this only came once in a year, so no-one was willing to miss this chance. Just when everybody was anxiously waiting for their turn to take the test, from the outside area came a beggar with ragged clothes. This beggar did not join up in the queue like the others but instead just walk directly to the gate of Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°Who are you, stand right where you are!¡± Two Cloud Mist Sect disciples stepped on their flying sword and flew towards the beggar, coldly blocking the beggar¡¯s path. These two disciples wore a spotlessly white standard disciple robe, and under their foot was a glittering flying sword. There was no one in the crowd who didn¡¯t have endless envy across their face, this made the face of these two disciples even more arrogant and proud, becoming even higher in spirits. To be able to join Cloud Mist Sect and become a disciple could be said to be a one out of ten thousand opportunities. The beggar continued to walk forward completely ignoring these two disciples who were just like a god who shouldn¡¯t be offended in the eyes of other people. The two Cloud Mist Sect disciples were angered, and the flying sword on their foot started to erupt out biting cold murderous intent. The crowd who were in the long queue all couldn¡¯t help but tremble with cold, but this beggar still continued to walk forward. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± A red clothed woman who was half a head taller than other people walked out from Cloud Mist Sect. Her figure was provocative and the twin peaks on her chest were twice as big as the others girls of the same age as her. While walking, her twin peaks could be seen bouncing up and down as if her clothes were going to burst open anytime. Her buttock was also very big but her waist was very slender where just one hand was enough to hold over it. ¡°Senior apprentice-sister, this beggar is causing trouble. He wants to walk through the gate without queuing up at all!¡± The two disciples who previously had arrogance on their face immediately bowed to greet without delay. In front of the red clothed woman Zhu Sijia, they did not dare to have any negligent. ¡°Audacious!¡± The red clothed woman Zhu Sijia was angered too. So she moved quickly towards the beggar and blocked his path. Now her face was covered with coldness and murderous intent surged out. The beggar lifted up his head, not speaking a word at all. It could be seen that his facial features couldn¡¯t be considered very handsome, but the more one look at his face, the more tolerant his face was to look at as his face had a sense of maturity and calmness which people of his age group shouldn¡¯t have. The crucial point was his eyes. Deep and apathetic, as if he had experienced a million years of changes, not bringing a thread of feeling fluctuation, causing other¡¯s heart to shake when looking deep into his eyes. Looking carefully again, his eyes were even as if an endless starry sky. Every moment, there were different world being born and extinguished. Just looking at his eyes, one could feel one¡¯s soul was being swallowed into it. The heart of the red clothed woman and the two gate guard disciples trembled. In an instant, all three of them were subdued by the beggar¡¯s eyes. They subconsciously got out of the way and gave a path for the beggar. The beggar walked forward, from the start to the end, not a single change of expression was seen on his face, and his footsteps also did not stop for even once. His footsteps were neither fast nor slow, and the distance of every step he took was the same. ¡°Big¡­Big Senior Apprentice-Brother?¡± The red clothed woman Zhu Sijia opened her eyes wide, crying out in shock: ¡°Ye Chuan, didn¡¯t¡­didn¡¯t you already die at God Burial Valley three months ago?¡± ¡°I¡¯m back.¡± The ragged clothed Ye Chuan answered and walked towards the gate with big steps. At the back, the complexion of the two gate guard disciples who were previously in high spirit was currently pale. Few moments passed but they still couldn¡¯t regain their spirit. The short moment when Ye Chuan was brushing past them, Ye Chuan took a single glance at them. That time, they felt as if their soul was going to jump out of their body. ¡°Wait a moment. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, let¡¯s go to Cloud Mist Hall and see the elders first.¡± The red clothed Zhu Sijia hesitated for a moment before speaking out and chased up to Ye Chuan. Thinking back to the expression in Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes which was entirely different to the former day Ye Chuan, what followed up after being terrified was being puzzled. Seeing that Ye Chuan who was coward and timid in the former days, now acting as though there were nobody else present, she could not help feeling somewhat angry inwardly. A melodious bell sound suddenly resounded throughout Cloud Mist Sect. A commotion was stirred all around Cloud Mist Sect. Everyone was rushing towards Cloud Mist Hall. Even few elders who go into seclusion all year round to cultivate also suddenly came out of their seclusion and came to Cloud Mist Hall, unexpectedly sizing up and down at Ye Chuan who was at the hall. Three months ago, Ye Chuan received orders to follow few protectors to go to Cloud Mist Mountain¡¯s forbidden area, God Burial Valley, to pick up few medicinal herbs. In the end, their whole party suddenly encountered an ambush and suffered a complete wipeout. A few rank 5 Xiushi protectors all died. Although they didn¡¯t find Ye Chuan¡¯s corpse, everyone assumed that Ye Chuan who was barely rank 1 Wuzhe would for sure be unable to survive this calamity. Within Wilderness World, people¡¯s cultivation were split into 5 realms which were known as Wuzhe, Xiushi, Daoist Master, Sage and Daoist Immortal. Every realm all had 7 ranks. All Xiushi realm protectors had died, so there wasn¡¯t any possibility for Ye Chuan who belonged to a mere Wuzhe realm to escape this disaster with his life intact. Everyone suspiciously looked at Ye Chuan, while their vision flickered. Within the younger generation in Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan¡¯s seniority was the highest. He was the Sect Master¡¯s direct disciple. Because Ye Chuan¡¯s ancestor once did a huge favor to Cloud Mist Sect, although his aptitude was only average, from when he was young he was already taken in by the Sect Master as his direct disciple and furthermore a Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal was sealed in his body by the Sect Master too. Within the younger generation, Ye Chuan had cultivated the longest and was titled as Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. Unfortunately, his aptitude was too mediocre and adding the fact that the Sect Master went out on a trip around the world to train right after taking in Ye Chuan as his direct disciple, no one was there to help Ye Chuan point out how to cultivate which resulted in his cultivation to be the lowest in the younger generation even though he was the grand Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. From young till now, he had suffered from countless snub and supercilious look from others in the sect. This time, everyone had thought that Ye Chuan had already died at God Burial Valley. The sect did not even spend a tiny bit of extra energy to find his corpse at all. Quite a few people had all secretly vying for the position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. But who would have thought that Ye Chuan would actually come back after three months. ¡°Ye Chuan, you¡­, how did you come back?¡± After being silent for a while, Third Elder who was sitting upright at the top of the hall took the initiative to speak. A pair of long and narrow eyes sizing up and down at the ragged clothed Ye Chuan. ¡°Third elder, can¡¯t I come back? Or is it that this time I didn¡¯t die, so someone is very disappointed?¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s face was calm but within his heart, he was coldly laughing. That¡¯s right, he had already died. The previous Ye Chuan had already long died. Right now, the one standing within the hall was another Ye Chuan, Wilderness World¡¯s former Heaven Concealing Great Sage, someone who had the same name and surname, Ye Chuan. Million years after being plotted against and trapped within God Burial Valley, a strand of destroyed soul finally escaped out and reborn within the body of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciple Ye Chuan. After fusing with the memory of the previous Ye Chuan, the current Ye Chuan was clear with everyone¡¯s thoughts within the hall. Third Elder was at a loss for words with his face gloomy. A sharp voice ranged out. Fifth Elder who was sitting beside Third Elder coldly looked at Ye Chuan and said: ¡°All the protectors had died in this mission. Ye Chuan, a mere rank 1 Wuzhe like you instead survived? We all know, how dangerous is God Burial Valley . No one dares to approach near it, moreover all year round thick fog envelope around it too. How did the protectors suddenly meet with ambush? A traitor who had betrayed the sect still even have the face to come back?¡± ¡°Fifth Elder, who did you say was a traitor? Where is the proof?¡± Ye Chuan lifted up his head and looked at the malicious complexion Fifth Elder. His face calm, only that his eyes were particularly cold and deep. His icy cold eyes did not bring a single thread of emotion, as if just one look and he could see through other¡¯s heart, letting others feel that their secret had no place to hide within their heart. The aloof and remote Fifth Elder in an instant felt a burst of palpitation for no reason. Due to having a guilty conscience, he did not dare to look straight at Ye Chuan. Staring at the Fifth Elder for a while, Ye Chuan swept his gaze through everyone and took out a warrant plate. Holding the warrant plate highly, Ye Chuan shouted loudly: ¡°All of you, don¡¯t you recognize this warrant plate?¡± Everyone¡¯s face changed and immediately bowed towards Ye Chuan to salute. Although Sect Master had not returned back to Cloud Mist Sect for many years, but seeing this warrant plate was equal to seeing Sect Master. No one dared to be negligent. ¡°My ancestor had done a meritorious deed towards Cloud Mist Sect. Sect Master felt indebted to my ancestor and gave my ancestor this warrant plate. Afterward, he took me in as direct disciple too. Taking out this warrant plate, I am not trying to be arrogant and claim accomplishment made by my ancestor. I only want to say that, don¡¯t frame and shift the blame onto someone else. If I really were to seriously want to cause harm to Cloud Mist Sect, then why would I bitterly keep on cultivating alone at the mountain top? Why would I not just take the warrant plate and demand for an exceptional martial technique which cannot be divulged to outsiders? Sect Master went to drift around the world and all of you wouldn¡¯t let me go to Martial Repository Pavilion to look for a martial technique suitable for me to cultivate. No one here helped me to point out how to cultivate too. Right now, I finally manage to narrowly survive and come back to Cloud Mist Sect and you all still want to drive me out of the sect with groundless reason. Don¡¯t you all think that your actions are letting down the Sect Ancestors and Sect Master?¡± Ye Chuan looked around with his ice cold and sharp gaze. Everyone in succession lowered their head. Third and Fifth Elders who had a prejudice against him also did not utter a word anymore. Ye Chuan had the warrant plate to protect him. No need to speak about them not having the evidence that Ye Chuan was a traitor, even if they did have evidence that Ye Chuan was a traitor, unless if it was the Sect Master himself, no one can expel him out of Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°All right, it was only a case of misunderstanding. All of you can disperse already. Ye Chuan, Third and Fifth Elders were only thinking for Cloud Mist Sect and asking a few questions. I hope that you would not mind it.¡± Great Elder spoke. While Sect Master was not here, Great Elder had the biggest authority within Cloud Mist Sect. After pausing for a moment, Great Elder looked at everyone and said: ¡°This matter will end here. Next time no one should bring up this matter anymore. Jiajia, you first bring Ye Chuan to Alchemy Pavilion to get some medicinal pills to treat his wounds and send him back to Purple Cloud Peak.¡± One word from Great Elder was worth nine sacred cauldrons. After instructing a few sentences, everyone stood up and left. Third and Fifth Elders coldly glared at Ye Chuan and snorted before leaving. The people who gathered outside of the hall also dispersed in succession. Shortly, within the hall was just left with Ye Chuan and the red clothed woman Zhu Sijia. ¡°Brat, let¡¯s go!¡± Zhu Sijia walked towards the exit of the hall, not giving any good attitude towards Ye Chuan. She did not really have any prejudice towards Ye Chuan. Only that to suddenly get ordered by his grandpa to attend to Ye Chuan, her heart could not help feeling impatient and annoyed. Never mind bringing Ye Chuan to Alchemy Pavilion, but to still have to bring Ye Chuan back to the tall Purple Cloud Peak¡­would she even have time to cultivate anymore today? Ye Chuan kept away the warrant plate and followed after Zhu Sijia. Only after following behind her, did he discover that Zhu Sijia¡¯s figure was very provocative. Other disciples normally wore a standard robe but she instead wore tight clothing, completely revealing out her curvy and delicate figure. Every step she took, her big and outstanding buttocks would always bounce a bit, sweeping up an attracting arc, full of elasticity. This made people who see it to have an itchy feeling in their heart, wanting to spank it with their hand so that they could feel how it would feel like. Alchemy Pavilion was not far from Cloud Mist Hall. Very quickly, the two of them arrived at an ancient pavilion where they could smell the fragrant scent of medicines. Just when they entered, a dozen of alchemy disciples came to gather around the red clothed woman Zhu Sijia with a face of respect: ¡°Senior apprentice-sister, you came just at a right time. How do we concoct dragon serpent pill?¡± ¡°This¡­I also am not too sure. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is right here. He entered the sect for the longest, so you can ask him.¡± Thinking of that scene when Ye Chuan had come back and acted as though there was nobody present, Zhu Sijia felt very unhappy. And an idea appeared in her brain and decided to put him in a difficult spot. The dozen alchemy disciples all looked at Ye Chuan who was behind Zhu Sijia with an ugly expression. Everyone knew that the title Big Senior Apprentice-Brother was just a false reputation for Ye Chuan. Although he had cultivated with hard work, but with his mediocre aptitude and no one to help point him out on how to cultivate, he had only remained at rank 1 Wuzhe. To be not even as good as numerous disciples, how would he knew how to concoct pills? ¡°Three dragon whisker grass, five drops of red river water and seven snake berry. Boil for half an hour and you can take it out of the furnace already.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently replied. The previous Ye Chuan had already died. The current Ye Chuan was already the former Heaven Concealing Great Sage. Within the endless amount of years, he had charged through ancient historical remains, went on a rampage in fierce regions, killing demons and devils and even guided countless people up the path of cultivating. One of those who he had guided was the founding master of Cloud Mist Sect, Ghost Hand Medicinal King. Concocting dragon serpent pill was a secret method passed down in Cloud Mist Sect, but to him, it was nothing at all. Numerous pill concocting disciples was half believing but Zhu Sijia¡¯s eyes instead lighted up, while sizing Ye Chuan up and down out of surprise, as if she had for the first time just came to know this extremely mediocre Big Senior Apprentice-Brother: ¡°Then after swallowing dragon serpent pill, why is it easy to walk into fire and turn into devil and need to swallow ice spring water to assist.¡± Dragon serpent pill can help to rapidly increase one¡¯s cultivation. But the attribute of the medicine was too strong, just one careless mistake after swallowing the pill, one could walk into fire and turn into the devil. In order to cover this weak point, Zhu Sijia had strenuously pondered in all those years and had tried many ways but all to no avail. This problem was too profound that even the elders were not able to solve it. She did not believe that Ye Chuan could answer her question at all. To answer the first question was not a big deal, maybe Ye Chuan could have heard the method on how to concoct dragon serpent pill before. ¡°Oh? There¡¯s even this kind of problem?¡± Ye Chuan knitted his eyebrows, obviously not able to answer the question. The surrounding alchemy disciples all coldly laughed. Just when they were about to ridicule a few sentences, Ye Chuan indifferently said: ¡°I understood it already. What you all caught was a black venomous snack and furthermore, you all did not pay attention to if it was male or female right? To concoct dragon serpent pill, there is a detail where you must use snake berry which has been crawled before by female snake. Dragon whisker grass has extreme yang and snake berry which have been crawled before by female snake has extreme yin. When both yin and yang coordinate with one another, then only will the dragon serpent pill be flawless.¡± Was this real or fake? Everyone was somewhat suspicious. What they heard sounded somewhat inconceivable but Ye Chuan instead had a deadly earnest expression. Coming back from God Burial Valley, they felt as if Ye Chuan had changed into another person. Although Ye Chuan looks and cultivation rank did not change at all, his temperament had a very large difference. Everyone knew that snake berry which had been crawled by a black venomous snake should be used to concoct pills. But no one had ever heard or knew before that there was still a need to differentiate between male or female snake. Liar, this Ye Chuan is definitely talking nonsense! Numerous alchemy disciples had a face of disdain but the Zhu Sijia with provocative figure instead had a look of pensive on her face. ¡°Quick, bring out the best golden wound dispersal for Big Senior Apprentice-Brother to heal his wounds. I¡¯m going somewhere for a while and will come back shortly.¡± Quickly instructing a sentence, Zhu Sijia left instantly, not able to wait to verify Ye Chuan¡¯s words. Chapter 02: Spanking buttocks if not obedient Chapter 02: Spanking buttocks if not obedient Zhu Sijia who had a hot figure, when handling matters was also swift, decisive and energetic. Very quickly, she had already done an experiment. The experiment had proved what Ye Chuan said. Ye Chuan was indeed correct. To refine a genuine dragon serpent pill, a snake berry that got crawled before by a female snake was needed. Cloud Mist Sect which was deemed as the most ancient alchemy sect in Da Qin Empire had actually neglected such a crucial detail to concoct dragon serpent pill which resulted in their secret method to concoct dragon serpent pill to be wrong all this time. News quickly got spread out and a few elders once again gathered together in Cloud Mist Hall to see Ye Chuan. How did the usually extremely mediocre Ye Chuan who knew neither how to cultivate nor concoct pills actually knew the secrets to concoct a genuine dragon serpent pill? Everyone was puzzled about this. Even the Great Elder who had the biggest authority was puzzled too. Confronting against everyone¡¯s questioning, Ye Chuan only said two words which relieved everyone, ¡®reading books¡¯. Over the past years, Sect Master had been wandering about outside and no one was there to point out anything for Ye Chuan. At Purple Cloud Peak, although there were not any cultivating techniques at all, but there were actually many books which were left there by Sect Master. Among the books, there was quite a number of alchemy books about predecessor¡¯s aspect on how to concoct pills. So there was indeed the possibility of Ye Chuan by chance finding out the real method to concoct dragon serpent pill on some ancient book among the books at Purple Cloud Peak. ¡°Bring forth Heaven¡¯s Will Wheel!¡± Great Elder sized Ye Chuan up and down. Having a bit of expectation within his heart, he ordered with a deep voice. When some people escaped from a great calamity, they might be able to bring out their hidden potential within their body and reveal their unique innate talent. If Ye Chuan¡¯s situation was like this, then Cloud Mist Sect would start to focus nurturing his talent too. Then at least Ye Chuan having the title of Big Senior Apprentice-brother would not have been in vain. Very quickly, someone brought forth Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Heaven¡¯s Will Wheel which had been passed down from generation to generation. A round green light shone down on Ye Chuan¡¯s body. Mediocre aptitude, mediocre life, ordinary fetus, ordinary body, weak bones and vessels¡­ His body was weaker than even an ordinary person¡­ Maybe it had been due to Ye Chuan¡¯s body being weak today, his aptitude had actually become worse from before. With his aptitude, to even become an outstanding cultivator was difficult. Don¡¯t need to say, to even cultivate a profound martial technique was even more out of the question. ¡°To solve the problem of the method of concocting dragon serpent pill is no easy matter. This can be regarded as a great service you have done for the sect. Jiajia, there is still a marrow cleansing pill on you right? Give it to Ye Chuan and send him back to Purple Cloud Peak.¡± Great Elder sighed, hating iron for not becoming steel and shook his head before leaving. Sect Master only had Ye Chuan as his only direct disciple and the direct disciple was this younger generation¡¯s oldest disciple too. A pity that Great Elder had the heart to nurture him but his aptitude was just too poor. ¡°Mediocre life, ordinary fetus, ordinary body, no matter how much marrow cleansing pill you take in, it is but only wasting resources. Humph¡­¡± Third Elder snorted and left with Fifth Elder and the others. ¡°Humph! Brat, take it! Such good luck you have. Let¡¯s go!¡± Zhu Sijia turned her body and left after unwillingly taking out a crystal bottle and threw it to Ye Chuan. Within the bottle, there was a dark green colored pill. The pill was actually a gift from her grandfather. Originally, she had only wanted to put Ye Chuan in a difficult spot and let him make a fool out of himself in front of the disciples. But who would have thought that what she wanted didn¡¯t happen and instead she even had to give Ye Chuan the pill she got. ¡°Young lady, next time call me Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. If not, I will spank your buttocks.¡± Ye Chuan took a look at the marrow cleansing pill within the crystal bottle and swept a look at Zhu Sijia¡¯s pert buttocks too before laughing faintly and catching up with Zhu Sijia. Zhu Sijia¡¯s cultivation was higher than Ye Chuan by a lot of ranks. But for Ye Chuan who in the past was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, no matter how high Zhu Sijia¡¯s cultivation was, she was but a young lady. ¡°Humph! You dare? Who will spank whose buttocks, we still don¡¯t know yet!¡± Zhu Sijia snorted a few times and walk further and further away angrily. Her mind was somewhat confused. In the past, Ye Chuan was coward and afraid of getting into trouble. No matter who he saw, he would always try to avoid the person by making a detour. But right now he seems to be the opposite instead? Could it be after surviving from a crisis, Ye Chuan had gotten an enlightenment. Or was is that he hated the sect for not sending help in time and now his temperament took a huge change? Zhu Sijia was in a bad mood. Just after walking out of the hall, she started to speed up her footsteps. Her buttocks bouncing, sweeping up an alluring arc. Her speed got faster and faster, purposely wanting to make Ye Chuan not able to follow up with her and get humiliated. Brat, didn¡¯t you act almighty? I will make you unable to follow up with me, at that time I will see if you can still dare to be so arrogant. Zhu Sijia finally found a balance in her heart. She who was just an alchemy disciple had already cultivated till rank 1 Xiushi. But Ye Chuan who was the Big Senior Apprentice-Brother had only cultivated till roughly rank 1 Wuzhe. If it was other people who were such Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, then they would have already become so ashamed that they would be unable to show their face long ago. Where would they even have the guts to act almighty like this Ye Chuan? Zhu Sijia walked very quickly, not paying attention to the numerous guards secretly gazing at her chest and buttocks along the way and instead was pleased with herself for actually thinking of a method to shame Ye Chuan. But after walking for a while, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Her back was too quiet. She turned back and looked, ending up to instead see that Ye Chuan was currently still standing outside of Cloud Mist Hall¡¯s doorway. Ye Chuan had never followed her from the start, her effort just now had all been wasted. ¡°Brat, do you still even want to go to Purple Cloud Peak?¡± Zhu Sijia was really angered. Seeing that Ye Chuan was standing there and not moving at all, she had no choice but to walk back to where Ye Chuan was. She stamped her feet all the way back, stamping till the floor actually made sounds similar to drums being hit, Her pretty face was covered with a layer of cold frost that even her gaze could kill someone. The guards at the side saw the situation was bad and all quickly lowered their heads, fearing that they might anger Zhu Sijia if they were to continue facing forward. Zhu Sijia¡¯s title of being the few best disciples in Cloud Mist Sect or the identity of her being Great Elder¡¯s treasured granddaughter, not everyone was able to afford to offend her. Ye Chuan laughed, not getting angry at all. What kind of person was he? Of course, he who would not lower his level to argue with a young lady, ¡°Jiajia, I apologize. I suddenly remembered that I do not have a weapon currently. Bring me to Weaponry Pavilion to pick one first.¡± ¡°Humph¡­¡± Zhu Sijia snorted, not moving at all. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Is there a need for Great Elder¡¯s warrant?¡± Ye Chuan asked. Zhu Sijia with both hands holding on her chest said: ¡°There¡¯s no need for a warrant. With me here, entering into Weaponry Pavilion is just a trivial matter. Just that¡­I am tired right now. I can¡¯t walk anymore.¡± ¡°I understand already.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and adopted a posture with his hands, ¡°To even dare to be negligent towards your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­it seems young lady here is little naughty. I guess there is a need for a spanking someone¡¯s butt already.¡± ¡°You dare?¡± Zhu Sijia clenched her teeth, purposely making her buttocks raise higher and incite: ¡°Come! Hit! I dare you to hit!¡± ¡°Pa!¡± A crisp sound rang out which shocked till everyone¡¯s heart, including Zhu Sijia¡¯s heart too was not able to resist trembling for a bit. He really spanked? Was he actually willing to spank that delicate and alluring buttock? Was this still the same Big Senior Apprentice-Brother who was a coward and afraid of getting into troubles? The surrounding guards all raised their heads, opening up their eyes wide with a look of disbelief. ¡°It¡¯s already reaching winter soon, but why is there still a fly here?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and spread out his hand, shaking off a fly on his palm. Everyone then let out a huge breath. But the unruly and shrewish Zhu Sijia¡¯s ears was deep red. That ¡®pa¡¯ sound just now actually made her thought that Ye Chuan had really used the palm of his hand to spank her buttocks, making her plump buttocks to tremble subconsciously. Having a huge change in temperament after escaping from a crisis was so true. With Ye Chuan¡¯s status as Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, even if her buttocks were really spanked, she might not have any chance to redress an injustice. ¡°Jiajia, the sky is getting dark. Let¡¯s go already. If you don¡¯t listen again, this time I might really have to spank your buttocks. What are you guys looking at? Public morals are degenerating with each passing days, to not even able to do a proper job at being a guard and eyes are always looking around everywhere messily. No wonder the sect declined.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, walking towards the road on the left side. Back in those days when Ghost Hand Medicinal King was still here building Cloud Mist Sect, the guards were all as if tigers and wolfs and even if the sky was to collapse, they would not show the slightest change of expression at all too. Compared to the guards now, the difference was really too far. The guards right now could not even resist the temptation of looking at buttocks. Although young lady¡¯s temper was indeed fiery, but her figure was actually indeed really not bad. Ye Chuan with a smile yet not a smile took a look at Zhu Sijia and gradually hastened his steps. Zhu Sijia gritted her teeth and chased after Ye Chuan: ¡°Hey, how did you know that the direction to Weaponry Pavilion is this way?¡± Within the younger generation, Ye Chuan indeed was the person who entered the sect the longest. But his aptitude was mediocre and he had no one to point out anything for him, therefore he usually stayed on Purple Cloud Peak and rarely walk around within the sect. He had not visited many places in the sect before even though he entered into sect the longest, completely not even comparable to some disciples who just entered the sect for few days or weeks. Seeing that Ye Chuan started walking towards the direction of the Weaponry Pavilion, Zhu Sijia could not help feeling strange. ¡°Just a guess. Not being careful and I guessed correctly again. It seems my luck is indeed really good.¡± Ye Chuan raised an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, making Zhu Sijia feeling even more infuriated. ¡°Jiajia, why did our sect suddenly start urgent recruiting? Is there not enough manpower already? Ye Chuan asked. ¡°The newly appointed King of Da Qin ascended the throne one month ago. He claimed that he wanted to train out a hundred male warriors to make the country prosperous and wanted our sect to tribute twenty-three thousand first-rate pills. Included among these pills are, three heaven grade pure yang pill, three hundred earth grade purple cloud pill, five thousand xuan grade pills and seventeen thousand yellow grade pills. He wants us to deliver all these heaven, earth, xuan and yellow grade pills within half a year. After accomplishing the assignment, the range of eight thousand miles around Cloud Mist Mountain range will be in our control. If we do not accomplish the assignment, our sect will be annexed.¡± Zhu Sijia pouted with her mouth, appearing unhappy but still told Ye Chuan the situation. Bringing up about this difficult assignment made Zhu Sijia felt deeply worried and wrinkled her brows. ¡°I understand already.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. He had been missing for 3 months already, no wonder he did not know about this matter, ¡°The time is too tight, if we don¡¯t want to get annexed and lodge under another person¡¯s roof, then we can only start recruiting and get more manpower.¡± ¡°Humph. If only you are more reliable as the Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, the situation might not have been as difficult as it is now.¡± Zhu Sijia pouted and took the initiative to walk forward and reveal the plate on her waist to the guards so that they could pass. The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder and came to an ancient pavilion which had an interesting look and smell to it. Inside of the pavilion was stored with all of the sect¡¯s weapons and treasures. Outside the gate, a stone sculpture of a person riding on a vigorous unicorn could be seen. This was Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s founding master, Ghost Hand Medicinal King. In front of the sculpture, incense sticks were arranged there and the air was filled with a sandalwood smell. At the corner, a black colored broom was placed there. Normally, the broom was used to sweep away the ashes from the incense sticks. And no one could say how long this broom had been in this world. ¡°An eternity in a snap of a finger¡­Didn¡¯t expect that even old rabbit is not here anymore¡­¡± Ye Chuan faintly sighed, walking towards the corner and picking up the broom while gently caressing it. In this world, there were only few who would dare to address Ghost Hand Medicinal King as an old rabbit. Right now, perhaps there was already nobody who knew of Ghost Hand Medicinal King¡¯s real appearance that he was actually a yao rabbit. Originally, this yao rabbit was always wreaking havoc around the mountain and stealing many sect¡¯s pills and medicinal herb to eat. Only after being subdued by Ye Chuan did the yao rabbit turn over a new leaf and became a generation of Sect Master. This broom was different from other brooms. This broom was the same as a tree and a tree was the same as this broom. This tree was also actually dug out from a demon god palace after he had beheaded 72 demons back in his former glorious days. The tree was used to encourage Ghost Hand Medicinal King and his group of trusted demon guards to work hard on cultivating. If anyone was not obedient enough, then this broom would be used to smack the person¡¯s buttocks. Thus, the tree was also named God Beating Whip. In the blink of an eye, million years had passed. Ghost Hand Medicinal King and his trusted demon guards had all disappeared. Only this broom was left here in the corner to resist against the wind and rain. Right now, even within the elders of Cloud Mist Sect, no one could recognize the true identity of this broom anymore. ¡°Brat, what did you say?¡± Zhu Sijia turned her body when she thought she heard Ye Chuan said something. Seeing the sad look on Ye Chuan¡¯s face, she suddenly felt somewhat absent-minded. Not sure why, she suddenly felt somewhat sad for Ye Chuan. Carefully looking, Ye Chuan was somewhat slim but his body was tall and straight as if a sharp sword. These many years, who knew how much Ye Chuan had suffered in the sect. The more she looked, it felt like Ye Chuan was not that dislikeable anymore. ¡°Nothing.¡± Ye Chuan answered and rubbed his nose: ¡°Jiajia, what are you looking at? Is it that Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I am very handsome? You can consider moving to Purple Cloud Peak to stay together with me and be my assistant if you want.¡± ¡°You can continue dreaming!¡± Zhu Sijia snorted, the favorable impression she had of Ye Chuan all instantly vanished. Let me be your assistant? Truly a toad wishing to eat swan meat. Letting me be your assistant is a lie but to wanting to take cheap advantages of me should be the truth. Did you think that taking advantages of me is that easy? Looking at Ye Chuan who had a smile yet not smile on his face, no matter how Zhu Sijia looked at him, she still felt irritated no matter what. Panting with rage, she turned her body, and twisting her slender waist, she angrily walked into the Weaponry Pavilion. Chapter 03: This broom is not bad Chapter 03: This broom is not bad Ye Chuan walked behind, following Zhu Sijia to enter into Weaponry Pavilion. Although Weaponry Pavilion looked as if it was not very big from the outside, but within the Weaponry Pavilion was instead a completely different world. On the first floor of the pavilion, the majority of the items placed there were all common weapons and armors. On the second floor, the items there were all treasure items that cultivators used. For example, flying swords, armors made from precious stones, exceptionally strong bows¡­ Various kinds of treasured items that one can think of were all there. On the third floor, the treasure items there were all even more powerful. But, a pity that even Zhu Sijia did not have the authority to go up to the third floor of the Weaponry Pavilion. Although Cloud Mist Sect was declining more and more with each passing day, Cloud Mist Sect was still, after all, a sect which had passed down from generation to generation since a long time ago and the inheritance that the sect had accumulated through all this time was enough to still support the foundation of Cloud Mist Sect currently. There were quite a few treasure items in Weaponry Pavilion where there was a need for the wielder to be at least rank 7 Xiushi so that they could be able to use the item. Some treasure items even needed the wielder to be above Daoist Master realm. Thus, even if right now Ye Chuan was able to go to the third floor, he didn¡¯t even really had the ability to use any of the treasure items there. ¡°You can choose any treasured item from the first and second floor. Choose quickly, I¡¯m rushing for time here.¡± Zhu Sijia urged. After choosing a weapon, she still had to send Ye Chuan back to Purple Cloud Peak. She was already impatient long ago. Ye Chuan turned a deaf ear to Zhu Sijia¡¯s urging and walked slowly through each piece of treasured item. From time to time he would pick up a treasure item and lightly caress the runes on the treasure item before putting down the treasure item down and walk to the next treasure item. Ye Chuan was vaguely familiar with some of the treasure items in the Weaponry Pavilion. Those treasure items were actually given to Ghost Hand Medicinal King by him back in the days when he was still Heaven Concealing Great Sage. Who would have thought, after million years had passed, he would once again be standing in the front all of those treasure items once again. ¡°Green Tip Flying Sword, yellow grade treasure item, not leaving a trace of blood when killing people, top grade within flying swords.¡± Ye Chuan picked up a sword and looked at it for a while before putting it down. ¡°Cold Water Dagger, xuan grade treasure item, specialized in breaking through armors and strong bodies, dedicated as a killer weapon for an assassin.¡± Ye Chuan picked up a three-edged dagger, the chilling cold murderous aura came forth from the dagger towards Ye Chuan. The memory of Ye Chuan killing the first-rate assassin from a long time ago slowly floated through his mind. After a good while, just when Zhu Sijia thought that Ye Chuan would be taking the dagger, Ye Chuan placed back the dagger and continue walking forward. ¡°Golden Hard Staff, yellow grade treasure item, specialized in subduing demonic techniques, Buddhism weapon.¡± Ye Chuan paused for a while again before continuing walking forward again. ¡­¡­ Ye Chuan walked very slowly, practically having already taken a look at everything within the first and second floor of the Weaponry Pavilion, but his hand was still empty. ¡°Hey, when are you going to finish choosing a weapon?¡± Zhu Sijia pouted her mouth. The same as pills, treasure items could be divided into heaven, earth, xuan and yellow grade too. Even if a Xiuahi realm cultivator had a yellow grade treasure item to protect himself with, it was already considered not bad. But this Ye Chuan who had only the cultivation of rank 1 Wuzhe was choosing here and there. What was he even trying to do? Zhu Sijia was very dissatisfied: ¡°Right now you are only at rank 1 Wuzhe, don¡¯t say a xuan grade treasure item, even if it was a yellow grade treasure item, you are also not able to use it at all with your cultivation. There are so many treasure items here, can¡¯t you just pick one here and get it over with?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to pick, it¡¯s just that the grade and quality of the treasure items here are all too low¡­ Forget it, I will just take the broom outside of the door!¡± Ye Chuan said truthfully. Any of the treasure items here, when placed outside, was able to give rise to a carnage, but to him, the treasure items here were really not worth anything at all. If not, he would not have so casually given the treasure items here to others already. Just that, Ye Chuan¡¯s truth words was just like a total nonsense towards Zhu Sijia. ¡°Humph, it¡¯s so obvious that you didn¡¯t have the capability to use the treasure items here. Yet you still have the face to say the grade and quality of the treasure items are too low. Indeed if a human is too shameless, even a ghost would be afraid.¡± Zhu Sijia softly muttered to herself, becoming more and more dissatisfied. ¡°Young lady, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan lightly laughed and took the broom before leaving Weaponry Pavilion. Behind, an old man who was in charge of guarding the Weaponry Pavilion looked at Ye Chuan¡¯s back and shook his head. Just now, seeing Ye Chuan looking at every treasure items and saying out the use and name of all of the treasured items, he thought that Ye Chuan had finally started to get enlightened and brought forth his true potential. A pity, his cultivation was just too horrible that he was inferior to even the worker in charge of sweeping the floor. He obviously had the chance to pick a good treasure item, but still want to act noble and virtuous and pick up a broom which no one wants¡­truly hopeless. To take in such a person as a direct disciple and even granting him the title of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother within the sect¡­the Sect Master was really old and silly already! The old man shook his head and sighed with sadness. Not only the Sect Master, the entire luck energy of Cloud Mist Sect was on the point of death already, getting worse and worse as the years went by. Twenty thousand first-rate pills, how was the sect to hand over such an amount of pills in such a short time? It seems like, this year¡¯s crisis, Cloud Mist Sect will be unable to make it through. Zhu Sijia walked very fast. Afterward, she even just simply took out her flying sword and step on it as she flew through the sky and threw off Ye Chuan far behind her. Seeing Ye Chuan who was climbing up the mountain like a snail, she finally raised her eyebrows and exhale out a breath of sigh. After deliberately flying very far away from Ye Chuan, she feigned as if she had waited till she was very impatient already and then finally turned and flew back to the Ye Chuan and said: ¡°Hey, could you walk faster? If you continue walking with your speed, even If you walked till tomorrow you can¡¯t even reach Purple Cloud Peak!¡± Zhu Sijia had a face of impatient but in her heart, she was actually very pleased with herself. Purposely suspending in the air and looking down to berate Ye Chuan and scare him for a bit, also conveniently show off the flying sword under her feet too. The name of the flying sword under her feet was known as Gold Carried Glass. It was given to her by her grandfather as a birthday present not too long ago. Looking closely, the flying sword looked as if it was transparent but when speeding along with the flying sword, the flying sword would bring along a gold light in the sky. Incomparably gorgeous, who knew how many female disciples within the sect would drool for this sword. ¡°Tomorrow then tomorrow. I really can¡¯t walk anymore.¡± Ye Chuan bluntly stopped walking and sat down with his buttocks on the ground to rest. Looking at him, there was not a single trace of weariness at all and there was not even a single sweat on his face too, obviously he was just finding an excuse. The guards in the vicinity looked over at Ye Chuan and pointed out at him to criticize him. But Ye Chuan¡¯s skin was just too thick that he completely did not care about the guards¡¯ criticism at all. Indeed when one survived from a crisis, their temperament will change for sure. Zhu Sijia¡¯s little scheme instantly failed. Other people¡¯s skin was already thick till like this and not afraid of anything. How to even attempt to make him get humiliated? Zhu Sijia crunched her teeth and her mood to show off the flying sword under her feet disappeared all of a sudden. ¡°Hey, are you going to continue walking or not?¡± ¡°Of course, let me rest for a while first.¡± ¡°You have already rested for half an hour. Is that still not enough?¡± ¡°My leg cramped, I can¡¯t walk anymore. Jiajia, why not lend me the flying sword under your feet to use?¡± ¡°I spit! Even if I lend you, you also can¡¯t use it at all!¡± Zhu Sijia¡¯s heart was really filled with anger that she wished she could chop off Ye Chuan¡¯s head. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the sun was setting down, without choice she could only resign to her bad luck and bring Ye Chuan along on her flying sword. Secretly revolving her spiritual strength within her body, the speed of the flying sword doubled and brought forth a gold light in the sky. She actually wanted to scare Ye Chuan in the sky who did not know how to cultivate and see if he would dare to provoke herself again. But very quickly, Zhu Sijia realized she was wrong again and instead she was the one who got scared. Compared to normally when she flew on her flying sword, today when flying, she kept feeling herself staggering from side to side, feeling unnatural no matter how she tried to control the flying sword. ¡°Hey, how are you so heavy?¡± Zhu Sijia who was standing in front of the flying sword could not consider about her anger at all and had to concentrate her complete attention in controlling the flying sword below her feet. Sweats dripped out from her forehead as she felt like she could sort of not control the flying sword properly anymore. ¡°Your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I am just an ordinary person, of course I am not as graceful as you cultivators.¡± Ye Chuan evilly laughed and handily embraced Zhu Sijia¡¯s slender waist which could be held over with a single hand tightly. Both their body sticking close to each other and Ye Chuan with a smile yet not a smile looked at the side of Zhu Sijia¡¯s face, secretly used a bit of strength and stepped on the flying sword. Instantly, Zhu Sijia could not control the flying sword steadily anymore and shrieked out as they both started to fly downwards with great speed and only after controlling the flying sword with great difficulty again, Zhu Sijia then manage to barely change the direction of the flying sword from downwards to upwards and start flying towards Purple Cloud Peak again. Chapter 04: You really spanked? Chapter 04: You really spanked? Purple Cloud Peak was very tall, reaching through the clouds. Dense spiritual qi between heaven and earth surrounded around Purple Cloud Peak. Although the Sect Master had been traveling outside for many years and had not returned to the sect at all, this Purple Cloud Peak which he had left here was a total natural treasure. Who knew how many people secretly drool to seize Purple Cloud Peak for themselves. After sending back Ye Chuan to the courtyard of Purple Cloud Peak, Zhu Sijia fumingly left. Bringing along Ye Chuan to fly on the flying sword was more tiring than when she flew on her flying sword for three days and nights. The crucial point was, both her waist and back were touched by Ye Chuan¡¯s hands. It seems like, even her bosom was touched by him during the confusion when she lost control of the flying sword too. Zhu Sijia couldn¡¯t remember clearly at all. Her heart was in chaos, feeling somewhat shy, but most of what she felt was but of course resentment. Every day, all the genius disciples within the sect would stick to her back and forth, but even after a few years, all the genius disciples still have not even got to touch even her hands. Instead this mediocre Ye Chuan had actually seized the opportunity to take advantage of her during a crisis, touching her body from the bottom to the top. ¡°Young lady sure has a bad temper. What a fiery temper indeed!¡± Seeing Zhu Sijia going down Purple Cloud Peak while panting with rage, Ye Chuan evilly laughed. How many years did he not had this kind of feeling already? Ten million years or eight million years? Every peerless expert in Wilderness World all had a desire, which was to go into God Burial Valley and investigate it thoroughly. But, the days being trapped inside there was nothing except boring. Everywhere you look, there were only a large amount of icy-cold tombs all around. In God Burial Valley, there wasn¡¯t even a tiny bit of the brilliance of the world outside. To finally walk out of God Burial Valley, Ye Chuan had once again been reborn as a human and vividly felt the brilliance of the life of the mundane world. After hastily cleaning up for a bit, Ye Chuan started to stay alone on Purple Cloud Peak. There were neither servants nor guards here. Although Ye Chuan was alone, he did not say anything and even felt happy in peace. What made him feel unexpected was that, although the courtyard at Purple Cloud Peak was small, there was actually Spiritual Congregation Formation and Alchemy Cauldron Furnace around the courtyard. Time passed quickly and the color of the sky quickly turned black. Before nightfall, Ye Chuan walked around the mountain peak and picked up a few medicinal herbs. After fiddling for a while with a few stuff inside of the alchemy room, Ye Chuan took a walk around outside again before sitting cross-legged in the study room. Ye Chuan started to quietly cultivate, silently reading out martial technique with his mouth. In the long years, Ye Chuan had obtained many rare martial techniques and grasped many remarkable abilities. But the real reason he was about to reach the peak of cultivation in Wilderness World was that of the unique and unmatched Heaven Concealing technique. After successfully cultivating this technique, he was able to conceal the heaven with only his hands. Which was also why millions of years ago, he was addressed by others as Heaven Concealing Great Sage. But right now, the martial technique which Ye Chuan was currently cultivating was not Heaven Concealing technique. It was instead a completely new martial technique called Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique. This martial technique was found accidentally by him back when he was still trapped in God Burial Valley. In the eyes of the people in this world, God Burial Valley was incomparably mysterious. But the actual fact was that within God Burial Valley, there were only icy-cold ancient tombs all around. Within it, a large dragon which coiled into a huge mountain was buried there, giants with a human body and snake tail were buried there, and giant turtle which was bigger than an island was buried there too. All kinds of ancient god and demon corpses were buried within God Burial Valley. The majority of all the ancient tombs were incomparably firm and even ancient restriction formation that could not be open was there too. This Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique was actually found by Ye Chuan in a tomb which was cracked open naturally. Along with the technique, he found within the tomb, he also obtained a simple and plain Cyan Lotus Lamp from the tomb too. Not long after silently reading the martial technique, that small Cyan Lotus Lamp floated out from within his body and floated in front of him, emitting out threads of warm lights. When his broken soul flew out of God Burial Valley, his soul brought forth this Cyan Lotus Lamp along too. In Wilderness World, martial techniques are divided into heaven, earth, xuan and yellow grade. Within common sect, to be able to have a xuan grade martial technique to cultivate was already considered not bad. Most cultivators in their whole life could only have access to the most basic yellow grade martial technique to cultivate. The Heaven Concealing technique which Ye Chuan had cultivated in his previous life was a rarely seen heaven grade martial technique. Although the Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing martial technique which he found within God Burial Valley was badly damaged and not complete, he had a premonition that the grade of the technique was far above Heaven Concealing technique and could even be a legendary martial technique which Daoist Immortals cultivated. Successfully cultivating Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique, his achievement would for sure be higher than his previous life, breaking through the shackles of a Great Sage and finally going into a new realm which was only told in the legends, Daoist Immortal! In my previous life, I had only concealed the heaven with my hands! This life, I will swallow the heaven! Ye Chuan¡¯s face did not show any expression, but his heart was feeling extremely excited towards the future of his cultivation path. Everything that he lost after being trapped within God Burial Valley, he swore to take back everything and let those who plotted against him suffer double the pain he went through! After being trapped for million years within God Burial Valley, Ye Chuan had been degraded from a Great Sage¡¯s body to a mediocre body. Mediocre body, mediocre fetus, mediocre life¡­if it was anyone else, they would have long been in despair and not dare have any high hopes towards cultivating. But to Ye Chuan, as long as he was alive, everything was not a problem at all. There was no physique or martial technique that was rubbish, but only people were rubbish enough to not be willing to work hard. ¡°What a pitiful fellow. To be the sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother but get humiliated and snubbed by others. In the end to even meet with an ambush and died with grief. Just let me use this body, I¡¯ll make your wish to become stronger fulfilled bit by bit.¡± Sensing a deep grievance within his body, Ye Chuan sighed. His body shook for a bit and his soul and body started to merge together. In his previous life, although he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage and possessed great techniques and abilities, those who plotted against him were of course no small and weak people at all. To have reincarnated within the body of a young disciple in Cloud Mist Sect, just nice, this gave him the chance to conceal himself for now and slowly cultivate to become stronger. Once the time becomes ripe, he will then go back to get his revenge! Threads of pure spiritual qi between heaven and earth seeped out from the air and flowed into Ye Chuan¡¯s body. The Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal which was within his body also began to awake and emit out boundless pure spiritual qi. Rank 2 Wuzhe, broke through! Rank 3 Wuzhe, broke through! Rank 4 Wuzhe, broke through! A layer of light rapidly covered Ye Chuan¡¯s skin, and afterward his flesh, muscle vessels and bones too. Under the refining of spiritual qi between heaven and earth, his body rapidly grew stronger, and continuously breakthrough 3 cultivation rank, breaking through from rank 1 Wuzhe to rank 4 Wuzhe! Within his dantian, a qi cyclone suddenly appeared, incessantly rotating and twisting into different kind of shapes, faintly having an indication of condensing into a talisman. According to explanation, after cultivating Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique, one could not only refine all yao beasts under the heaven, they could also condense out 108,000 Heaven Swallowing Talismans. Every Heaven Swallowing Talisman which got condense out would bring an increase of 18000 jin of strength. Cultivating to the peak and condensing 108,000 Heaven Swallowing Talismans, what kind of strength would his body actually obtain at that timel? [Note: 1 jin roughly equals to 0.5 kg] Ye Chuan who once concealed the heaven with his hands could not imagine it too. He was filled with expectation towards this new martial technique that he will be cultivating from now on. Within Wilderness World, under Xiushi realm which let one possess great abilities, there was there was Wuzhe realm. Wuzhe realm could be divided into 7 rank, skin refining, flesh refining, muscle refining, bone refining, bone marrow refining, internal organs refining and blood refining, whose effect was to completely change the body of the cultivator. Only after reaching the peak of Wuzhe realm, one can have a hope for transformation and breakthrough to become Xiushi and finally be able to cultivate various kinds of abilities and techniques. Ordinary people who want to breakthrough from rank 1 Wuzhe to rank 4 Wuzhe would normally take up to eight to ten years, and this was also including the fact that they needed an expert to point out for them how to cultivate too. But Ye Chuan just used only a few hours to breakthrough from rank 1 Wuzhe to rank 4 Wuzhe. He was the best expert to point out everything for himself, after all he was someone who once brought up the founding master of Cloud Mist Sect, Ghost Hand Medicinal King to the peak of cultivation. Now that he had to start cultivating from the start, he was familiar with every step like the back of his hand. Ye Chuan suddenly stopped revolving his martial technique. To breakthrough three cultivation rank continuously, if other Wuzhe realm cultivators knew of this, who knows how jealous they would have felt. But to someone who had once dominate and controlled Wilderness World, it was really nothing much. What¡¯s even more was that if he had just continued to revolve his martial technique, and also continue to refine the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal within his body and continue to breakthrough his cultivation rank. To quickly breakthrough and become Xiushi realm was no difficulty to him at all. For many years, the Sect Master had sealed the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal within his body which had not been refined at all and the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal had long like a clay ox which enters the sea became totally silent. Only right now, the energy of the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal was starting to awake. But, to breakthrough three cultivation rank in a day was astonishing enough already. He had just come out from God Burial Valley not long ago, if he was to breakthrough too many cultivation ranks right now, it would be too unbeneficial to him. What was more important was that after being trapped within God Burial Valley and suffered from beating and grinding from the ancient restriction formation, Ye Chuan understood that when your cultivation speed was too fast, it wasn¡¯t really any good thing at all. To steadily breakthrough each cultivation rank and grind your current cultivation foundation to the peak before breaking through was the best way to assure that in the future you can stand on the real peak of cultivation! While everyone was longing to quickly breakthrough their cultivation rank and realm, Ye Chuan was instead purposely restraining his cultivation rank and realm, to not breakthrough too fast. Instead Ye Chuan guided spiritual qi between heaven and earth in the air to slowly flow into his dantian, refining his skin, flesh, muscle vessels and bones. During midnight, cold wind blew, it was very quiet on top of Purple Cloud Peak with occasions of mournful wolf howls which could be heard from the far distant. While Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the floor motionlessly, his eyebrow suddenly opened. Rustle sounds suddenly came from outside of the courtyard of Purple Cloud Peak, it was the sounds of footsteps. Within the cold air, a faintly familiar body fragrant was bought along with it too. Young lady indeed was not able to tolerate at all. The corner of Ye Chuan¡¯s mouth raised as he evilly laughed and continued to sit cross-legged. Outside the courtyard, three male and one female sneakily stood side by side. ¡°Quickly! What are you guys still waiting for? Go and tie him up first then beat him up ruthlessly afterwards!¡± Zhu Sijia glared at the three male disciples. After going down Purple Cloud Peak, the more she thought about what happened, the more infuriated she felt and thus went to find three male disciples to come back during midnight and prepared to give Ye Chuan a harsh lesson he will never forget. Her entire body was touched by that bastard Ye Chuan already. If she doesn¡¯t beat him up, then there was no way her anger would be able to be vented out. ¡°Jiajia, this isn¡¯t good right? No matter what¡­ that brat is still the sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. If the elders were to know of this matter¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi had already reach outside of the courtyard and was prepared to teach Ye Chuan a lesson but suddenly started to hesitate. The other two male disciples were also hesitating with a face of troubled expression. At the start, the three of them patted on their chest and said big words but when it came the time to start their task, each of them was more coward than the other. This was not playing tricks on an ordinary outer sect disciple at all but instead was the sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. According to sect¡¯s rules, this was a big crime! ¡°Three idiots, don¡¯t you guys know how to cover up your face with something? After this matter is finished, who in the sect would know that it was you guys who did it? If anything happened afterwards, you can all leave it to me. I am not afraid, so why are you guys afraid? Fatty, stop being effeminate already, do you still want to enter into the inner sect anymore?¡± Zhu Sijia intimidated out. Under her pressure, the three male disciples had no choice but to take out a black cloth to cover their face and bring forth their courage and walk towards the courtyard. Only walking a few steps, fatty Zhao Dazhi suddenly turned his body and asked: ¡°Jiajia, you confirm that big senior brother is only rank 1 Wuzhe?¡± ¡°I confirm. This was what my grandfather personally said.¡± Zhu Sijia nodded her head. ¡°Fair enough¡­¡± Only then Fatty Zhao Dazhi let out a sigh of relief. If the Great Elder had already said so himself, then there should be no mistake, right? All three male disciples had already cultivated till rank 7 Wuzhe. The three of them to go up against a mere rank 1 Wuzhe, wouldn¡¯t it be just a simple matter anyway? The three male disciples climbed over the wall and secretly went towards the study room where Ye Chuan was at. ¡°Humph, see if you still dare to be so arrogant after this, or to even have the face to really take yourself as a Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± Zhu Sijia who was guarding outside of the courtyard felt angry when she started to remember Ye Chuan¡¯s expression of not placing anything in his eyes at all. After a while, when the anticipated sounds of screaming and frightened voice did not ring out at all, Zhu Sijia started to feel somewhat suspicious. After the time of half an incense stick passed and there was still no activity within the courtyard, Zhu Sijia could not stand still anymore. After fatty and the two other disciples went over the wall, no sound was made anymore, as if they had gone into another world. ¡°Fatty, fatty¡­¡± Zhu Sijia softly called out for fatty a few times and just when she wanted to climb over the wall and check exactly what was happening, she suddenly felt her head feeling deeply dizzy, her four limbs becoming limp and as she fell on the floor, then she saw Ye Chuan with a smile opening the door of the courtyard and walked out. In the short distance, there was an incense stick which had been half-burned inserted within the underbrush. ¡°Brat, you used poison?!¡± Zhu Sijia crunched on her teeth. She knew that all of them had fallen into Ye Chuan¡¯s trap. ¡°Oh? I did not use poison at all though? Your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother just picked out a few medicinal herbs and wanted to smoke out the mosquitos only. I guess you can only count yourselves unlucky.¡± Ye Chuan laughed and carried Zhu Sijia into the courtyard, placing her together with the others on a wooden table. Their head was facing down but their butt was raised upwards. All four of them was not able to move but their conscious was still there. Seeing the smile on Ye Chuan¡¯s face, they had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. ¡°What are you intending to do?!¡± Zhu Sijia was starting to get panicky already. ¡°I said before that if you don¡¯t be obedient, I will spank your buttocks. Sect Master is not here, so as Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I have no choice but to enforce the law on behalf of master!¡± Ye Chuan evilly laughed and raised the broom on his hand as he pulled down the fatty¡¯s pants and smack downwards onto his buttocks with the broom. A ¡®pa¡¯ sound rang out and fatty started to scream out in agony, and bloody scar appeared on his buttocks. The black broom in Ye Chuan¡¯s hand appeared to be nothing out of the ordinary but when hit by it, it was really painful. An extremely scorching pain was what it felt like! Although fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s cultivation was not really anything, he was still at the least a rank 7 Wuzhe. His body when compared to ordinary people was much stronger and an ordinary sword or knife was not able to leave even a scar on his body. But being swatted once by this broom in Ye Chuan¡¯s hand, he immediately screamed out like a pig being slaughtered, his spiritual body not being a single help at all. Even after million years, the might of the broom was still there. To be nicknamed as God Beating Whip, it specialized in breaking through the defense of spiritual body was not fake at all. A pity, the broom was placed at the door of Weaponry Pavilion for so many years yet not even one person knew how formidable this broom was. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­!¡± Zhu Sijia cried out in fear, extending her hands out to want to cover her buttocks. A pity, her waist was very slim but her butt was very big. To be even bigger than the chubby fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s buttocks. Both her hands were not even big enough to cover up her buttocks. Sensing that Ye Chuan was behind her, Zhu Sijia could not help feel incomparably nervous, her heart feeling as if it was going to jump out from her mouth. Fortunately, after a while, Ye Chuan did not pull down her pants, the broom on his hand did not smack down too. ¡°Humph! Seems like this brat is at the least tactful and do not dare to beat me. Want to beat, first must also see who the person is! To dare to pull down my pants, do you still wish to continue living?¡± Zhu Sijia thought to herself and let out a breath of relief. Her grandfather¡¯s identity as Great Elder was still effective during crucial moments indeed! ¡°Pa!¡± Ye Chuan did not raise up the broom in his hand, but he also did not intend to let off Zhu Sijia. With the palm of his hand, he spanked her buttocks. Zhu Sijia who wore an entire red color of tight clothing had a hot figure. The feeling of her flesh was considerably good, even with the clothing being a wall from her body, the flexibility could still be felt when smacking towards it. With a spank that was hardly any strong at all, Zhu Sijia¡¯s plump butt started to bounce up and down. He¡­he actually really spanked? Zhu Sijia¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. Half of what she was currently feeling were resentment and shame. The other half of what she felt was the grievance. From small till now, she had not been hit by anyone at all. But to actually get spanked on the buttocks when she was this big already in front of others, she really felt extremely humiliated. Fatty and the others who were lying downwards were all currently howling in grief in their heart. They never thought that Ye Chuan would actually dare to spank Zhu Sijia¡¯s buttocks. They were completely in trouble now. Zhu Sijia who was normally shrewish and had a fiery temper, how would she just tolerate this? No matter what, Ye Chuan was still at least the Sect Master¡¯s only direct disciple and also the sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. What can Zhu Sijia do to him? Now instead the three of them were finished. They didn¡¯t finish their job properly, for sure they were going to be used as punching bags by Zhu Sijia. Fatty and the two other disciples already had the thought to die already. Chapter 05: One night is too long for woman to take her revenge Man Huang Feng Bao, Chapter 05: One night is too long for woman to take her revenge ¡°Pa!¡± Another crisp sound rang out. Still spanking?! Brat, did you spank till you are already addicted to spanking? Or are you trying to purposely take advantage of this shrewish and fiery tempered Zhu Sijia in front of everybody? Fatty and the other two disciples howled in grief in their heart. They were incomparably frustrated with their actions tonight. If they knew things were going to be like this, even if they were beaten to death, they would not have dared to come here tonight. The three of them all felt regretful and afraid that their legs even started trembling from fear. This Ye Chuan had already even dared to beat Zhu Sijia in front of them, what other things would he not dare to do? Temperament changing after surviving from a crisis indeed¡­ Seems like this time, after experiencing a near death experience, the usually coward and afraid of getting into trouble Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan had really thrown caution to the wind already and became a troublemaker. Whoever ran into him should only count themselves unlucky. Only after a while, fatty felt that something was wrong. Ye Chuan once again spanked on their buttocks with his palm, but only the three of them were screaming out in pain and Zhu Sijia¡¯s body was instead not moving at all anymore. Did she get beaten till she fainted already? Fatty Zhao Dazhi turned his head with difficulty to check what happened to Zhu Sijia. Luckily, Zhu Sijia did not faint. Just that, her butt was smacked till it was raised high and she was too embarrassed to raise up her head. ¡°Sigh¡­ Winter is already coming, but why are there still so many flies?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and he swept off a dead fly which was on his palm. Afterwards, he took a medicinal herb and let fatty and the others smell it. Gradually, the four of them recovered their body strength. ¡°All of you can leave now. Next time cultivate properly. Don¡¯t run around in the depth of the night without anything important. Or else, I will have to spank all of your buttocks again! To not have educated you guys properly was my fault! It was all me neglecting my job as Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± Without delay, the four of them quickly left the courtyard. Before walking out of the door, Zhu Sijia turned around and fiercely glared at Ye Chuan and then pinch onto fatty¡¯s ear and walk out of the courtyard. ¡°Fatty, can you tell me how the hell you are so rubbish? To not even be able to settle someone with a cultivator of rank 1 Wuzhe?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Jiajia, can you be softer please. My ears are going to fall off already. It¡¯s not that I am rubbish, but that Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan was totally not a human at all. Who knew that he was prepared from the start?¡± ¡°Humph! Just a little bit of incense and you can¡¯t handle it already? Didn¡¯t you always bragged that you could kill a wild boar with one punch?¡± ¡°Jiajia, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is even scarier than a wild boar¡­ Weren¡¯t you also not able to handle it at all and got beaten by him too?¡± ¡°What did you say?! When did I get hit?!¡± ¡°Nothing¡­ Jiajia, you didn¡¯t get hit at all. I didn¡¯t see anything at all¡­Ouch! Please pinch lighter¡­my ears¡­¡± The voices of a few people were brought along with the cold wind as the four of them quickly leave Purple Cloud Peak. As expected, fatty and the two other disciples who were bragging and patting on their chest previously were all currently out of luck already. Seeing the four of them leave, Ye Chuan laughed and turned his body around as he looked closely on the dead fly. Looking at the dead fly, his face slightly submerged. Ghost Hand Medicinal King was a yao rabbit and what he liked to eat was various kinds of medicinal herb. When he had built Cloud Mist Sect from scratch, Cloud Mist Sect was known for planting all kinds of medicinal herbs and concocting all kinds of pills. Many different kinds of medicinal herbs grew on countless mountain peaks within the sect. Restriction formation was there to guard the medicinal herbs too, thus usual harmful insects were not able to get close to the medicinal herbs at all. Winter was already right around the corner, but flies actually appeared now at the mountains. Furthermore, this amount of flies was not small too. This was very usual! Ye Chuan jumped outside of the courtyard. And after walking around Purple Cloud Peak for two hours, he then finally came back with a cold face. After inspecting around Purple Cloud Peak, Ye Chuan indeed found out that the situation was not in good condition. Flies were flying around back and forth within the courtyard, but even more files were flying in the mountains with medicinal herbs on it. On some rare medicinal herbs, it was actually filled with a black layer of flies on it. Quite a few medicinal herbs had already withered due to the files too. If this continues, very soon, all the medicinal herbs within Cloud Mist Sect would all start to wither and die out. Afterwards, the sect would then be unable to concoct out a single pill at all. ¡°They have compound eyes on their head, there¡¯s a sharp thorn on the tail section too, and they are fond of sucking blood¡­ This is not your ordinary fly. This is a type of Wilderness¡¯s different species. Seems like Cloud Mist Sect which old rabbit had left behind is indeed about to go through a calamity!¡± Ye Chuan grabbed a fly which was buzzing around him. After being grabbed, the fly started to buzz and struggle loudly. Silently reading out his martial technique, he forced out a drip of essence blood from the tip of his middle finger. And shaking his middle finger, the blood dripped onto the body of the fly. The struggling fly quickly calmed down after the blood was dripped onto it. A mysterious feeling as if the fly was his own flesh and blood floated up in his mind. It was as if the fly had become a part of Ye Chuan¡¯s body and he could control the fly as freely as he could move his fingers. The ability to tame! The Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique which was obtained within God Burial Valley could not only help rapidly strengthen his body¡¯s cultivation and strength, it could also tame all yao beast under the heaven! Million years ago when he had concealed the heaven with his hands, Ye Chuan had subdued many experts. Within the experts, there was quite a few which was like Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s founding master Ghost Hand Medicinal King who was a yao beast. During that time, Ye Chuan had only relied on his formidable martial strength to subdue those experts. Whoever dared to disobey him would be killed directly. But right now it was different. With blood as the lead, using the supreme martial technique Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique, he could leave an imprint within the yao beast and the yao beast would be closely intertwined with him. From then on, he would not need to worry about the yao beasts which he had subdued betraying him. ¡°New martial technique, new beginning¡­ Black Python Emperor Monarch, Blue Eyed Demon Empress and Abyss Great Sage¡­ My good brothers, Ye Chuan, I am back.¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself. His gaze got colder and colder and he threw the fly which he just tamed into a crystal bottle. After thinking for a while, he went to find a medicinal herb and dripped a few purple medicinal liquid into the crystal bottle and placed the crystal bottle onto the side of the wooden table. Ye Chuan raised his head to look at the sky after finishing his work and the sky was already dark, not able to see a single trace of light, the black cloud covered densely in the sky as if the storm was approaching. When the first glimmer of light fell from the sky and dawn came, Zhu Sijia once again came to Purple Cloud Peak, but this time she came along with a big crowd of people. Besides from fatty Zhao Dazhi who belonged to the outer sect disciples, a crowd of outstanding inner sect disciples came too. Within the crowd, there was an especially remarkable inner sect disciple who wore a green gown walking beside Zhu Sijia. His eyes were filled with essence and energy, obviously belonging to a cultivator who had detached from Wuzhe realm. Compared to Zhu Sijia who had the cultivation of rank 1 Xiushi, the green gown disciple¡¯s cultivation appeared to be a bit higher than Zhu Sijia. On the journey, the both of them were talking and laughing, the green gown disciple obviously fawning upon Zhu Sijia. Last night after leaving the Purple Cloud Peak, Zhu Sijia was not actually able to sleep well at all, entirely not able to fall asleep at all. Her buttocks got smacked in front of three others, and the position that she got smacked was still so shameful too¡­ After leaving the mountain, the more she thought about it, the more infuriated she felt. The sun still had not completely risen and she was already here to send a punitive force against Ye Chuan. A gentleman taking his revenge ten years later was not late at all. But one night was too long for a woman to take her revenge. Just a night passed and Zhu Sijia could not wait to get her revenge already. Since she couldn¡¯t secretly punish Ye Chuan, then she might as well publicly punish Ye Chuan and seize the opportunity to ruthlessly teach Ye Chuan a lesson. A gentleman who doesn¡¯t take his revenge isn¡¯t a gentleman. What¡¯s more, she was not a gentleman at all. She was a woman, of course she must take this revenge. Ye Chuan was right in the middle of sweeping the courtyard when he heard sounds of footsteps and opened the door to walk outside to see what was happening. Seeing the big crowd of people, he actually felt somewhat surprised. Afterwards, he evilly laughed and looked towards fatty Zhao Dazhi who was hiding behind Zhu Sijia and said: ¡°What¡¯s the matter fatty? Are your buttocks itchy again?¡± ¡°I¡­I¡­¡± Fatty really wanted to say that this matter did not concern him at all but after being coldly looked at by Zhu Sijia, his cold sweat started to flow out endlessly. Yesterday after being smacked by Ye Chuan with the broom, his butt was still in pain till now. He still felt pain while walking and even while sleeping too. Even after applying Golden Sore Medicine, it was still of no use at all. Seeing Ye Chuan laugh, fatty once again felt fear and shivered. ¡°Damned fatty, really useless! Quickly go!¡± Zhu Sijia used her strength to push fatty, but seeing fatty still shrinking back in fear, she just simply step forward bravely and purposely straighten up her originally firm and upright twin peaks and said with disdain: ¡°Brat, the time to challenge is already here. Come out and fight with me 300 rounds! See if it is I who is stronger or you this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother who possess great abilities is stronger. You better wash your buttocks clean, don¡¯t make me dirty my hand!¡± Just seeing Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia straight away felt her teeth feeling itchy and wish she could right away start fighting with Ye Chuan. ¡°What challenge? Jiajia, did we have an appointment before you left?¡± Ye Chuan laughed evilly as he looked at his palm. Seeming as if he was recalling back to the memory of him spanking Zhu Sijia¡¯s butt. Seeing that, Zhu Sijia felt more infuriated and was on the verge of erupting already. ¡°Jiajia, let I, senior apprentice-brother Jin help you teach this brat a lesson.¡± The green gown disciple who had been following beside Zhu Sijia stood out. Ye Chuan suddenly felt a strong pressure coming forth, momentary having a feeling of suffocating. ¡°Who are you?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Haha, my surname is Jin. I¡¯m just an ordinary inner sect disciple of Alchemy Hall. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother goes into seclusion cultivation all year long. To not know a small character like me is ordinary, but just that¡­¡± Green gown disciple stopped for a while before coldly laughing and said: ¡°But just that, to even forget the sect¡¯s rule of challenging once every five days. This is seriously¡­ tsk tsk, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother must have been very busy, or could it be that it was really as they said, after surviving from a crisis at God Burial Valley, you got your brain damaged and couldn¡¯t remember many things already?¡± The green gown disciple had a face full of smile the whole time but his tone was that of aloof, arrogant and disdain. Straightforwardly insulting Ye Chuan was an idiot in front of the crowd. Towards Ye Chuan this mediocre person occupying the position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, he had long been very discontent for many years. The Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal which was sealed within Ye Chuan¡¯s body was of course even more reason for the green gown disciple¡¯s discontent. He had for a long time drooled for the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal within Ye Chuan¡¯s body after all. Chapter 06: Hoodlum Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Chapter 06: Hoodlum Big Senior Apprentice-Brother ¡°Eh? I apologize, I had almost forgotten about it!¡± Ye Chuan patted on his head and suddenly remembered. There was a rule in Cloud Mist Sect where disciples should challenge another disciple to a battle every 5 days. The disciple who got challenged cannot reject the challenge from the other too. Anyone who disobeyed the rule would be expelled out of the sect. The winner of the challenge would be able to earn additional points. The higher one¡¯s points were, the higher his salary would be. The loser of the challenge would have the points deducted instead. If you lost very badly and lost all your points, you may not even be able to draw a single copper coin at all. The strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. Although this rule may seem to be somewhat cold-hearted, the significance of this rule was actually very important as it was one of the largest form of motivation to encourage all the disciples to cultivate diligently. In the past, Ye Chuan was always in seclusion in Purple Cloud Peak most of the time and had rarely come into contact with anyone. Afterwards, he disappeared in God Burial Valley for 3 months, so he had really almost forgotten about this rule already. ¡°Surname Jin? Is this brother here Alchemy Hall, Hall Master Jin¡¯s son? That rumored sect¡¯s genius Jin Hua who broke through to rank 7 Wuzhe at the age of 11 and broke through heaven and earth¡¯s restriction at the age of 14 and became a rank 1 Xiushi?¡± Ye Chuan sized up and down on this green robbed disciple. After hearing what Ye Chuan said, the green robbed disciple Jin Hua arrogantly snorted: ¡°Exactly, I am indeed Jin Hua.¡± ¡°Not bad, indeed a genius with grand appearance. However, your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother here specializes in defeating all the geniuses in this world. No matter who you are, if you have offended the sect¡¯s rules, you still must get spanked on the buttocks. So next time, you better behave more properly in front of me.¡± Just a moment ago, Ye Chuan was still profusely praising Jin Hua, making him feel complacent. In the blink of an eye, Ye Chuan¡¯s next few sentences when heard by Jin Hua instantly made him turned red with embarrassment and feeling angry, fiercely taking a step forward. ¡°Pretend, go on and continue pretending, continue to be arrogant. I will see for how long you can still continue to be arrogant!¡± Zhu Sijia thought within her heart and took a step forward, her murderous aura threatening forward. Both Zhu Sijia and Jin Hua followers also stepped forward and surrounded around Ye Chuan. ¡°Jin Hua senior brother, let me teach him a lesson! Brat, challenge me!¡± ¡°Zhu Sijia junior sister, let me teach him a lesson! Brat, challenge me! Let me teach you a lesson on behalf of Zhu Sijia junior sister!¡± ¡­¡­ Everyone was stepping forward and volunteering to challenge Ye Chuan. The mood of everyone was surging up violently, fiercely gazing at Ye Chuan, as if he had done something that offended the heaven, so they wanted to join hands to tear him into pieces. The more people there were, the stronger the force was. Following the crowd atmosphere, fatty Zhao Dazhi who was hiding behind also stepped forward and waved his fist in front of Ye Chuan. Even right now, his buttocks were still currently in pain. He did not really dare to challenge Ye Chuan, but at least dared to take advantage of the situation and curse a few sentences at Ye Chuan to at least help him to dissolve his hatred. Fatty Zhao Dazhi cursed loudly, exerting all his strength to curse, his voice becoming bigger than everyone in the crowd. According to the sect¡¯s rule, one could challenge someone else every 5 days and the person who got challenged cannot avoid the challenge too. But, there was only one challenge every 5days, just one challenge only. To challenge Ye Chuan, they could not only show off their strength in front of Zhu Sijia and Jin Hua, they could also seize the opportunity to take away the points on Ye Chuan. Who would let such a chance like this pass by in front of them? Everyone was striving to be first and fearing to be last, their gazes gradually turning hotter and hotter. ¡°Shut up! Is everyone¡¯s buttocks itchy and tired of living already?¡± Ye Chuan shouted loudly, covering everyone¡¯s voice and swept through the faces of everyone present with a cold gaze. In the instant, everyone felt a feeling of fear and trepidation raising from within their heart. Zhu Sijia once again instantly had the same feeling she had felt back at the sect¡¯s gate when she met Ye Chuan who had come back from God Burial Valley. Ye Chuan¡¯s expression had a majestic pressure which made her state of mind tremble. This kind of majestic pressure was something that she had never even felt and experience from all the other elders in the sect. Fortunately, this feeling only appeared for a moment and vanished instantly at the next moment. Ye Chuan evilly laughed, with a face of awkwardness as if he had just entered into a treasure mountain and not sure which precious gem to take and said: ¡°Everyone here is all talented geniuses in my Cloud Mist Sect¡­Hmm, who should I pick though?¡± ¡°Brat, you can still really pretend! Challenge me! If you win, I will move to Purple Cloud Peak and be your assistant!¡± Seeing the evil smile on Ye Chuan¡¯s face, Zhu Sijia was about to reach the peak of her anger. Misconception, just now must have been a misconception. How could a mere ordinary Wuzhe have that kind of capability to make her feel pressured? ¡°No, challenge me!¡± Jin Hua stepped out another step and coldly said: ¡°Brat, I will only use one hand. If you win, in the future I will seriously and genuinely call you Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, and if anyone dared to not call you Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I will help you beat him up!¡± ¡°Not bad, that¡¯s quite a good idea you have there!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. ¡°But, there are currently too many people here who have itchy buttocks. I can¡¯t be biased and give only you a lesson, right? Why not like this? In order to be fair a bit, we can all play a game. When the broom falls on the ground, the person in the direction pointed by this broom will be one who gets to be challenged by me.¡± Ye Chuan lifted up the broom on his shoulder. Zhu Sijia and Jin Hua gave a signal with their eyes, commanding everyone to move back a few steps. This way was good too, there was no disadvantage for them and they can let this Ye Chuan lose convinced. Everyone who was present here was not a weakling at all. The weakest was also at the least rank 6 Wuzhe, stronger than Ye Chuan much more already. Anyone who went up to challenge was able to beat him till his half-dead. Ye Chuan applied strength to his wrist and toss the broom high up in the air. With a ¡®pa¡¯ sound, the broom landed on the ground. Fatty Zhao Dazhi who was still softly cursing at Ye Chuan eyes lighted up when he saw the broom landed on the ground. Afterwards, his face scowled miserably. The broom which landed on the ground happened to point exactly towards him. There were so many people here and Ye Chuan actually exactly chose him. Fatty Zhao Dazhi had a feeling of winning a lottery but just that after touching the scar on his buttocks, he just wasn¡¯t able to feel happy at all. Ye Chuan¡¯s broom had already left a shadow in his heart. ¡°Fatty, what a good luck you have! Your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother here congratulates you.¡± Ye Chuan picked up the broom on the floor and purposely point the end of the broom towards fatty Zhao Dazhi and incite: ¡°Come, come, come, let your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother spank your buttocks again and help you recall some memory. Of course, if you are afraid, just call me Big Senior Apprentice-Brother and I will let this pass and pick another person again.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi was overjoyed at the turn of events and was just about to call out Big Senior Apprentice-Brother to Ye Chuan when two icy-cold gazes shot towards him. Looking at Zhu Sijia¡¯s face which was covered with cold frost, fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s heart trembled and under her gaze, he did not dare to shrink back from challenging Ye Chuan. Clenching his teeth and summoning up his courage, he walked up to Ye Chuan and pulled out a long sword which was suspended on his waist. ¡°Br¡­brat! Watch my sword!¡± Although fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s body looked somewhat obese, his speed was not slow at all. But too bad, Ye Chuan still managed to dodge sideways from his sword. Fatty once again stabbed out with his sword but Ye Chuan dodged once again. Under the watch of everyone, the two of them started to fight against each other. Fatty Zhao Dazhi had exerted all his strength and gave his all, stabbing out countless strong blows with his long sword which brought forth whistling sounds and sword qi. But no matter what, he was just not able to land any strike onto Ye Chuan¡¯s body. Even the corner of Ye Chuan¡¯s clothing, he was not able to get into contact at all too. Was this the usual low cultivation Big Senior Apprentice-Brother who did not have the face to see anyone because he was too ashamed of his own pitiful cultivation? His cultivation rank, was it really just barely rank 1 Wuzhe? Everyone¡¯s gaze gradually became astonished. Especially Zhu Sijia and Jin Hua. Not sure when, the both of them had already creased their brows. With their cultivation of rank 1 Xiushi, they were able to see Ye Chuan¡¯s muscles and bones flickering with luster when he dodges fatty¡¯s attacks. This was clearly the indication of someone who had already broken through to rank 4 Wuzhe. To someone who was at Xiushi realm, rank 4 Wuzhe was not even worth mentioning in front of them at all. But when Ye Chuan came back from God Burial Valley, he had only the cultivation of rank 1 Wuzhe. When did he broke through 3 ranks continuously and became rank 4 Wuzhe? Could it be that¡­ he had a lucky encounter outside of God Burial Valley and received something? Zhu Sijia¡¯s thoughts were puzzled and she had a feeling of bad premonition. If fatty Zhao Dazhi continued to fiercely chase and strike at Ye Chuan, Zhao Dazhi would definitely make a mistake easily. As expected, right after fatty Zhao Dazhi missed his attack again, he started to pant for breath heavily and his movement starts to slow down, causing a loophole to appear. ¡°Fatty, watch properly. Your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡¯s broom is not used to beat people but is specialized in spanking buttocks only.¡± Ye Chuan laughed and secretly start to revolve the half condensed Heaven Swallowing Talisman in his body. After fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s attack missed, Ye Chuan finally retaliated and spank downwards with his broom. Ye Chuan¡¯s movement was not fast, seemed leisurely slow and he even warning fatty Zhao Dazhi in advance. But fatty just wasn¡¯t able to dodge away from Ye Chuan¡¯s broom. A pity that although fatty had already done the movement to prepare to dodge, but he was still half a step too slow. First, his sword was smacked away by Ye Chuan¡¯s broom and followed by was a stabbing pain in his buttocks. When the broom smacked on his buttocks, fatty felt his whole body¡¯s fat trembling and both his leg even went soft. Rank 7 Wuzhe to fight against a rank 4 Wuzhe, fatty Zhao Dazhi obviously was higher by 3 cultivation ranks than Ye Chuan, but he still lost to Ye Chuan completely. The Heaven Swallowing Talisman within Ye Chuan¡¯s body had still not yet completely take the shape but even if it was like this, there was still at least 4000 jin strength in the smack of the broom. So there was enough and abundant to spare to completely crush this fatty Zhao Dazhi. ¡°Sigh, to not be able to smack dead you with one smack, seems like my strength is still not enough. Forget it. Fatty, your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother here is in a good mood today. I will just spank your buttocks and let you go, but I will only let you off just this once only.¡± Ye Chuan evilly laughed and the broom in his hand spanked downwards a few times again. A few ¡®pa¡¯ sounds rang out and fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s fat buttocks bloomed with flowers, and he lied down on the ground with no strength to struggle at all. The broom in Ye Chuan¡¯s hands appeared to be ordinary and mediocre but it was actually a strong weapon which was specialized in breaking through the target¡¯s defense. A spank with the broom, spanked in the buttocks but felt pain in the heart, even Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s founding master Ghost Hand Medicinal King¡¯s trusted followers were also filled with sufferings when spanked by the broom. How could fatty Zhao Dazhi who got pampered and spoiled since childhood even be able to tolerate a few smacks from the broom? ¡°Ye Chuan, I will not let it go just like this!¡± Zhu Sijia crunched her teeth and glared at Ye Chuan while panting angrily. Due to being angry, the twin peak on her chest started to rise and fall, letting people worry if her red gown would burst from not being able to support her twin peaks. After mustering large forces first thing in the morning, Zhu Sijia thought that she would be able to humiliate Ye Chuan and teach him how to conduct himself properly for sure. Didn¡¯t expect, Ye Chuan won once again. Her face got totally thrown away by this useless fatty Zhao Dazhi already. ¡°Welcome, junior apprentice-sister Jiajia. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother welcome you at all times. Five days later you can come again. Junior sister, it¡¯s no bother to come in the day or night too.¡± Ye Chuan laughed and intentionally swept a gaze at Zhu Sijia¡¯s twin peaks, his words seemed to have a deep meaning to it as he leaned against the broom and slapped his hands against one another. ¡°Hoodlum!¡± Zhu Sijia scolded, angrily turning her body and leave. In her eyes, Ye Chuan had changed from an idiot Big Senior Apprentice-Brother to become a hoodlum Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t be happy too early. You will regret it for sure.¡± Jin Hua ferociously glared at Ye Chuan and quickly chased after Zhu Sijia. Everyone quickly left and went down the mountain, leaving only fatty Zhao Dazhi lying down on the ground. Seeing Ye Chuan turned to look at him, fatty Zhao Dazhi quickly extended out his hands to cover his buttocks, and miserably looked at Ye Chuan, just like a helpless little young lady who did something wrong. ¡°Swallow the white color medicine and for the red color medicine, break it into pieces and smear it on your wounds. You can leave now, but next time you better learn a lesson from this and don¡¯t always cause a disturbance with others, otherwise you better be careful about protecting your buttocks. Sigh, all of you junior apprentice-brothers and junior apprentice-sisters really make me worry for you guys. But Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is to blame too for not having taught you guys properly before. If this continues on, next time your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother will not have any face to meet Sect Master already¡­sigh, such a huge pressure I have on me.¡± Ye Chuan sighed with a face that looked as if he was ashamed and threw a pill bottle to the front of fatty Zhao Dazhi. ¡°Thank you, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi struggled to climb up and quickly took the pill bottle, then while limping, he left Purple Cloud Peak, fearing that if he left a bit slow, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan would change his mind about letting him go. Chapter 07: You are in trouble already Chapter 07: You are in trouble already After seeing fatty Zhao Dazhi left far away, Ye Chuan took a few spin around Purple Cloud peak. When he came back, his brows were creased tightly. The situation regarding the flies was more serious than what he had anticipated. Just after a night, many more medicinal herbs in Purple Cloud Peak had already withered. At some places, the medicinal herbs of the entire area were already withered and died. Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s spiritual congregation formation was unique. The spiritual congregation formation was used to nurture the medicinal herbs and the spiritual energy emitted out by the medicinal herbs would in reverse help to strengthen the might of the spiritual congregation formation, mutually forming a virtuous cycle. This kind of spiritual congregation formation was known as medicinal spirit formation. This medicinal spirit formation was also passed on to Cloud Mist Sect founding master Ghost Hand Medicinal King by Ye Chuan at that time and later Ghost Hand Medicinal King passed it down to his direct disciples, then was passed down generation to generation. Unfortunately, perhaps Ghost Hand Medicinal King¡¯s direct disciples were not able to cultivate the medicinal spirit formation properly or perhaps more than million years had already passed, some parts of the secrets of medicinal spirit formation were lost already. Right now, the medicinal spirit formation on every mountain in Cloud Mist Sect has quite a lot of flaws in it. Also because of this, the Wilderness mutated flies which had compound eyes on their head was able to enter into the medicinal spirit formation by entering through the weak spot of the formation. At present, problems were arising from the situation of medicinal herbs being harmed by the flies and withering. As the medicinal herbs died, the strength of the medicinal spirit formation would subsequently get weakened by a wide margin and thus resulting in, when the sect disciples cultivate, it would be twice the effort for half the result. In the long run, not only would the sect be not able to finish Da Qin King¡¯s assignment, the sect¡¯s strength would also get weaker and weaker. ¡°Old rabbit oh old rabbit¡­ Back then, I helped you establish Cloud Mist Sect. Now, do I need to personally help you withstand the calamity which your sect would be facing?¡± Ye Chuan sighed, somewhat reminiscing his former follower Ghost Hand Medicinal King. Million years ago, although Ghost Hang Medicinal King was hardly the strongest within all his many other followers, and was even somewhat clumsy, gluttonous and especially lecherous too, but Ghost Hand Medicinal King was absolutely one of his most devoted followers. Every time when Ye Chuan was in danger, Ghost Hand Medicinal King would always be the first to rush to the front to help him. After finally breaking out from God Burial Valley, million years had already passed and Ye Chuan had come back to Cloud Mist Sect but the whereabouts of Ghost Hand Medicinal King was already unknown. Not sure if Ghost Hand Medicinal King had longed found a hidden place to cultivate in seclusion or had already breakthrough the restriction of heaven and earth and went to the outside world. Ye Chuan was somewhat absent-minded. Only after sighing did he regain back his spirit. Just one look and Ye Chuan had already found out the defects of the medicinal spirit formation and knew how to make amends to it. But to mend it, there was a need to consume a large amount of yuan qi. Without the cultivation of at least Daoist Master realm, there was not much he was able to do to amend the medicinal spirit formation. Seems like there was a need for him to speed up his cultivation speed already. Ye Chuan walked back to his study room and looked at the crystal bottle on the table. The fly which got closed inside the crystal bottle was still vigorous and lively. After slightly muttering to himself, Ye Chuan dripped a few more drops of medicinal herb¡¯s liquid into the crystal bottle and placed the crystal bottle back on the table. The fly had already been tamed, but Ye Chuan obviously was not preparing to train it into a strong helper. Although the fly was a Wilderness mutated fly and its destructive power was ample, but its innate talent was actually limited. No matter how hard Ye Chuan was to train it, it would also not be able to grow too strong so therefore instead keeping it for other use was good enough for the moment. ¡°Crisis is just like a hurricane, when a hurricane passes through a mound, only the grass will exist. So, let this hurricane come more fiercely!¡± Ye Chuan sat down cross-legged, concentrating his attention and started to cultivate. As someone who was once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he was not afraid of crisis. What he needed was only time. He needed time to conceal himself within Cloud Mist Sect to slowly become stronger, just like a weak little grass which when only after experiencing a rainstorm¡¯s baptism would it only vigorously grow. After the time is ripe, he will once again overlook Wilderness World and let this world tremble under his feet. Threads of pure spiritual qi flowed out from the air. Compared to yesterday, the spiritual qi was indeed weaker a bit. Ye Chuan slightly released the restriction within his body which was restricting his cultivation from breaking through and revolved Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique, engulfing all the heaven and earth spiritual qi within a radius of a kilometer. Very quickly, there was luster of light flickering on his body. First was his skin, then his flesh and mussel vessel. This luster of light grew more vigorous and vigorous, slowly permeating into his bone, flowing into the hundreds of bones in body. His body lightly trembled as his flesh got stronger and his muscles and bones started to resonate with one another, giving out a refreshing feeling to his body. The Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal within his body also started to emit out vigorous life force and strength. Bone marrow refining! Rank 5 Wuzhe! Ye Chuan revolved Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique and his cultivation broke through once again. The qi vortex within his dantian started to rotate and the Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body became clearer than before. The ancient martial technique within God Burial Valley was indeed formidable, letting even Ye Chuan who was once Heaven Concealing Great Sage to be astonished. This speed was also after being pressured down by the ancient restriction formation within God Burial Valley and degraded to an ordinary body, ordinary fetus and ordinary life. If not, his cultivation speed would be even faster compared to right now. Ye Chuan stopped right after breaking through to rank 5 Wuzhe and started to revolve the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal within his body to refine his muscles and bones. During the battle with fatty Zhao Dazhi, although Ye Chuan looked as if he was very relaxed and at ease, Ye Chuan actually carried quite a risk in the battle. If fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s speed was faster a bit and was nimble a bit more, then the one lying down on the ground might have been Ye Chuan. The 7 ranks of Wuzhe realm consists of skin refining, flesh refining, muscle refining, bone refining, bone marrow refining, internal organs refining and blood refining. The first 5 rank of Wuzhe realm was the most important and was the deciding fact of one¡¯s strength, speed and nimbleness. If someone does not properly temper and set a good foundation for the first 5 ranks, even if he was to cultivate till rank 7 Wuzhe, he would not be able to reach the peak of Wuzhe and his potential would be limited after breaking through to Xiushi realm. The main reason why fatty Zhao Dazhi lost to Ye Chuan was because his foundation was not firm at all. Ye Chuan had ample experience and was not anxious for quick results, quickly going into meditation and cultivate after breaking through to rank 5 Wuzhe. Only when the morning of the second day arrived did he slowly opened up his eyes. Standing up and stretching up his body, ¡®pa¡¯ sounds of his bones crackling rang out and unconsciously his body grew half an inch. Ye Chuan picked up the broom which was in one corner and started to sweep the fallen leaves in the courtyard. This was his assignment every day. While in the process of sweeping the fallen leaves, he would carefully observe and comprehend life and death and the ups and downs of life. Life was just like a stringed instrument, there were both happiness and sadness, and ups and downs. When life is smooth, don¡¯t be too happy or too pleased and lose your sense of measuring because in the next moment, there might be a catastrophe coming towards you. When you are met with setbacks, don¡¯t be too sad too as in the next moment, perhaps there would be a turnaround in your life. Look at things lightly and figure it out thoroughly. Only this way one could walk further in the journey of cultivation. Once again being reborn as a human, Ye Chuan had a comprehension which he did not have in his past life when he had concealed the heaven with his hands. This comprehension was towards the natural law of this world. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡± The courtyard was still not yet sweet finish and a shouting voice came from outside of the courtyard. Ye Chuan opened the door and walked out, unexpectedly finding that fatty Zhao Dazhi had come here once again. However, this time he only came alone. The figure of the unruly and shrewish Zhu Sijia was not seen anywhere at all. ¡°Fatty, what are you doing shouting first thing in the morning. Are your buttocks itchy again?¡± ¡°Junior apprentice-brother do not dare, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother must be joking.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s words had been filled with respect already. Calling out Big Senior Apprentice-Brother came from his inner heart too, not daring to be rude in the front of Ye Chuan at all. Being both scared and respectful towards Ye Chuan, he said, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Great Elder request you to go to Cloud Mist Hall at once.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and conveniently threw the broom to one side and followed with fatty Zhao Dazhi to Cloud Mist Hall. Within his hands, this broom was a huge killer weapon but in the view of others, this broom was just a broom and was even a black filthy broom at that. Even if this broom was given to them, they would also not want it. Throwing the broom at one side, Ye Chuan was not afraid of someone stealing it at all. Breaking through rank 5 Wuzhe, Ye Chuan was feeling invigorating. On the journey to Cloud Mist Hall, Ye Chuan¡¯s speed and endurance were not inferior to that of fatty Zhao Dazhi who was at rank 7 Wuzhe. This made fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s thoughts became more puzzled and afraid as he could not see through Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation already. Both of their speed was like the wind and they quickly reached Cloud Mist Hall. Walking in, Ye Chuan was surprised to discover that everyone was gathered here already. A few elders were sitting upright at the top and each Hall Master and elite disciples were split into two sides, standing below the elders. Zhu Sijia and Jin Hua was surprisingly in the bottom group too. Looking at Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia had a complicated expression on her face and Jin Hua instead had an odd smile on his face. ¡°Disciple Ye Chuan greets every elders here.¡± Ye Chuan slightly bowed towards the elders and felt a bad premonition but his face remained calm and collected. ¡°Ye Chuan, what is your age this year and how many years has it been since you entered the sect already?¡± Great Elder asked. ¡°Disciple is 15 years old this year and has entered the sect for 15 years. I am indebted to Sect Master¡¯s help and was able to escape from a calamity after being born because of him.¡± Ye Chuan replied. According to his memory, when he was just born, he was carried by Sect Master to Cloud Mist Sect and took in as a direct disciple. His family died in a fire and his whole village was burned to ashes. ¡°What realm have you cultivated till now?¡± Great Elder asked. ¡°Rank 5 Wuzhe.¡± Ye Chuan honestly replied and did not conceal anything at all. ¡°What?!¡± Surprised cries rapidly rang out within the hall. Zhu Sijia¡¯s and Jin Hua¡¯s eyes were even opened wide. Yesterday when Ye Chuan was battling against fatty Zhao Dazhi, he was clearly still only rank 4 Wuzhe. How did he breakthrough only after a night? Great Elder was quite surprised too and used his strong consciousness to penetrate into Ye Chuan¡¯s body, quickly checking out Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation and finding out that he was indeed rank 5 Wuzhe, having already started to refine his bone marrow, ¡°Ye Chuan, you¡­ how did you cultivate? Did Sect Master come back already?¡± To breakthrough from rank 1 Wuzhe to rank 5 Wuzhe in a few days, this was not a genius anymore, but a hundred percent peerless genius. If Ye Chuan continued to cultivate like this, who knows what heights he would reach? Great Elder was shocked. Although rank 5 Wuzhe was not much of a big deal at all, but Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation speed was too shocking already. Thinking back and forth, the reason where Sect Master had come back and helped Ye Chuan wash his marrow was the only explanation. ¡°No, Sect Master did not come back. Disciple had not seen Sect Master for many years already. Just that when I was outside of God Burial Valley, I unintentionally ate a vermillion colored wild fruit and finally broke through my bottleneck when I came back.¡± Ye Chuan replied, already having thought of an excuse earlier on, ¡°Great Elder, to ask me to come down from the mountain, is there any matters currently?¡± ¡°A problem, a very big problem.¡± Great Elder expression was dim, not continuing to question Ye Chuan and started to size Ye Chuan up and down. Rank 5 Wuzhe indeed was unexpected, but it was still not enough at all. Great Elder sighed: ¡°Ye Chuan, the competition between our Cloud Mist Sect and other two big sects that is held every 3 years is starting soon. This time, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect unanimously requested the sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother to personally bring their group to the competition.¡± There were three big sects within Cloud Mist Mountain. Cloud Mist Sect have been passed on for the longest and had the deepest foundation but due to having already steadily deteriorated, it was already not the same mighty sect as it once was. Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect had moved to Cloud Mist Mountain later and even started to occupy the places in Cloud Mist Mountain which should have been Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s territory. Especially Black Cauldron Sect which had been expanding rapidly these few years, vaguely having the indication of becoming the number one sect in Cloud Mist Mountain already. In the three big sect competition, throwing face is a small matter and the crucial point was that there was a need to concede a huge amount of resources like territory, mines and pills to the winner. This was no doubt one disaster on top of another for Cloud Mist Sect who already had to urgently concoct pills and finish the assignment given by Da Qin King. Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect had many strong disciples and knew perfectly well that Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s big disciple Ye Chuan was extremely mediocre and even inferior compared to normal disciples. To join hands and request that this time, each sect must have their sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother to bring their group to the competition, this was obviously wanting to mock and slap on Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s face. Great Elder sighed with sorrow, while the other elders and Hall Master also had an ugly expression on their face. To have someone like Ye Chuan as the sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, how could they let him bring the group to the competition? Originally, everyone thought that Ye Chuan this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother had already died at God Burial Valley and when they received the news regarding the competition, they had already planned to pick another Big Senior Apprentice-Brother already. But who would have thought that Ye Chuan had actually not died and even came back during this crucial moment? ¡°Disciple understand already. No problem, it¡¯s just a competition, just leave it to me. Great Elder, when do we leave?¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s expression was tranquil, having a face as if he had complete confidence to win the competition. Seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s face, few people who were waiting for him to voluntarily resign from his position as Big Senior Apprentice-Brother spat out blood in their heart. It was already such a crucial time and this Ye Chuan was still continuing to pretend. Does he really want the sect¡¯s face to be completely thrown away? ¡°Half a month later. You can pick any 6 disciples to go to the competition.¡± Great Elder faintly replied. He too wanted Ye Chuan to resign from his position as the sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother in order to avoid the sect getting humiliated. But Ye Chuan did not initiate to say anything, so he could also not say anything. After all, Ye Chuan was the Sect Master only direct disciple and the time Ye Chuan had entered into the sect was the longest in the younger generation too. ¡°Alright. Great Elder, then can I go to Martial Repository Pavilion to choose a martial technique? So many years have already passed and I have still do not have a martial technique to use. If I want to completely defeat the two other sect¡¯s disciples, without a suitable martial technique, I¡¯m afraid it would be a little difficult.¡± Ye Chuan asked, boasting shamelessly, letting others in the hall to be completely speechless. ¡°You can go. You can choose any martial techniques in the first and second floor of Martial Repository Pavilion. Jiajia, bring Big Senior Apprentice-Brother there.¡± Great Elder powerlessly waved his hands and left right after standing up. ¡°Great Elder, this won¡¯t do!¡± ¡°Great Elder, is there any use to go find a martial technique now? Even if it was a heaven grade martial technique, it will be useless too. Great Elder¡­¡± Third Elder and Fifth Elder stood up and loudly object, but Great Elder turned a deaf ear towards their objection and walked further and further away. Everyone was helpless and could only fiercely glare at Ye Chuan before leaving. Quickly, only Ye Chuan and Zhu Sijia was left in the hall. Ye Chuan was calm but Zhu Sijia was already panting with rage, cursing herself for having such bad luck once again to get pushed up with a bitter task. Not sure why, just seeing the face of Ye Chuan looking as if he didn¡¯t care at all, she instantly felt unhappy. Thinking back about her buttocks getting spanked by him in front of others, her teeth would start to feel itchy. The clothes she wore on that day was very thin, so getting spanked by Ye Chuan that day was no different than being directly spanked on her buttocks. Just thinking about it would make her feel extremely angry and ashamed. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Can you be faster if you want to go to Martial Repository Pavilion? Brat, this time you are in trouble already!¡± Zhu Sijia sneered at Ye Chuan and rejoiced in other people¡¯s misfortune as she started to walk faster and faster, swinging her hips left and right. ¡°Jiajia, you are in trouble too. I have decided that I will bring you along for the competition. Such a marvelous competition, how could junior apprentice-sister be left out right? You can come along with Big Senior Apprentice-Brother to help provide support and watch how your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother here win the competition magnificently!¡± Ye Chuan answered with a few simple sentences and Zhu Sijia instantly was not able to remain happy and had the feeling to cry already. ¡°Stinky brat, you throwing away your own face is your own problem. But you still want to drag others to throw their face away with you, could you still be any much more shameless?¡± Zhu Sijia gritted her teeth and a cold frost covered her face. A girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. She too wants to act as a wise and virtuous woman, but she just couldn¡¯t act out in front of Ye Chuan no matter what. Being angered till her chest was bulging back and forth, her clothes seemed as if it was about to burst any moment. Letting other worries if her plump twin peaks would burst out from her clothes. Chapter 08: Inch Light Chapter 08: Inch Light With Zhi Shijia accompanying him, Ye Chuan had come to the sect¡¯s Martial Repository Pavilion. Just when Ye Chuan was about to raise his head and walk inside, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path. Alchemy Hall¡¯s expert Jin Hua had been waiting outside Martial Repository Pavilion for a long time, and now while standing in the front of Ye Chuan, his eyes were secretly taking a few glance at Zhu Sijia¡¯s figure. ¡°What are you intending to do?¡± Ye Chuan calmly asked, not in the least shocked or feeling unexpected at all, as if he had long anticipated that Jin Hua would be waiting here for him, letting Jin Hua who suddenly jump out in the front of Ye Chuan to feel hugely disappointed. ¡°I¡¯m not going to do anything. Just that, you better leave far away from junior apprentice-sister Zhu Sijia.¡± Jin Hua fiercely gazed at Ye Chuan and his original grand face instantly turned malevolent. ¡°This¡­I¡¯m afraid this is not possible.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, ¡°It is not that I want to stay by Jiajia¡¯s side, it¡¯s just that she kept insisting on following by my side.¡± ¡°Utter rubbish! Who would want to follow you if it was not for grandfather¡¯s order?¡± Zhu Sijia was extremely angry, shaking off Jin Hua¡¯s hands which were extending out to her. Panting with rage, no matter who she saw, they were not pleasing to her eyes at all. Looking at the faint evil smile on Ye Chuan¡¯s face, she then realized that she got duped into being angry. ¡°It ends here. Brat, go into Martial Repository Pavilion by yourself. However, I can with definite tell you that the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect are already rank 3 Xiushi. Even if you were to be able to immediately cultivate a heaven grade martial technique, you will still absolutely not be their match at all and be destined to die in their hands. If you are smart enough, then act like a tortoise and hide at Purple Cloud Peak just like before. It does not a matter if you were to die, but don¡¯t throw the sect¡¯s face.¡± Jin Hua said with a face of disdain and was too lazy to waste his time talking to Ye Chuan, ¡°Jiajia, let¡¯s go together, I found an interesting place at the back of the mountain where we can go for a walk.¡± Jin Hua once again extended out his hands towards Zhu Sijia, wanting to hold onto Zhu Sijia¡¯s slender waist. The back of the mountain was filled with beasts and average people would not dare to go there during the day. But to disciples who had confidence in their strength, it was a good place to go for a date. With the azure sky as a quilt and the dark green earth as a bed, just thinking of that scene would make one¡¯s heart surge endlessly. ¡°I won¡¯t go! If you want to go there and feed the flies, then you can go yourself. Don¡¯t come bothering me.¡± With a ¡®pa¡¯ sound, Zhu Sijia slapped away Jin Hua¡¯s perverted pig hand and walked towards the guard to show her warrant plate. Then walking into Martial Repository Pavilion and not even turning her head, ¡°Brat, if you want to find a strong martial technique to cultivate then be faster!¡± ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, look at this, it really is not that I want to follow by Jiajia¡¯s side, but it is that she voluntarily wants to follow me. Sigh, women are just so troublesome, and women who are pretty are even more troublesome. You just can¡¯t shake them off even if you wanted to.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and with a look as if he was in a difficult spot, he leisurely turned his body and walk into Martial Repository Pavilion. At his back, Jin Hua¡¯s face was already ashen and his lung was about to burst with rage. These few days, ever since Ye Chuan came back from God Burial Valley, he had been feeling that Zhu Sijia had been feeling somewhat abstracted. Sometimes Zhu Sijia would be panting with rage and sometimes she would be lost in thought alone, completely leaving him at one side already. ¡°Brat, after a few days, I will see if you can still continue to laugh anymore!¡± Jin Hua clenched his teeth as he turned his body and left. His heart was like a raging fire as his rage getting more and more intense. He just couldn¡¯t understand which part of him was inferior to this extremely mediocre Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan who was famous for being weak. He was more handsome than him, his background was bigger than him and his strength was stronger than him, just which part of him was even inferior to Ye Chuan? Or could it be that it was really indeed that this brat, Ye Chuan¡¯s temperament really took a huge change after having survived a calamity and Ye Chuan¡¯s badness had captured Zhu Sijia¡¯s affection? Was it really that he was not bad enough? Jin Hua¡¯s heart was feeling indignant. To be unable to court Zhu Sijia, he had already intended to vent out his rage onto Ye Chuan, starting to secretly plot on how to let Ye Chuan suffer. The guards at Martial Repository Pavilion was extremely strict but once they saw Zhu Sijia¡¯s warrant plate, no one dared to obstruct the two of them, and Ye Chuan followed behind Zhu Sijia, with large strides, walking into the pavilion. Same as Weaponry Pavilion, Martial Repository Pavilion had 3 floors and was said to have all kind of martial techniques kept here. Strong heaven grade martial technique was kept here and rumors had it that even Great Sage¡¯s martial technique was here too. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful the martial techniques were, the average person would have no chance to get their hands on those martial techniques at all. Without the Sect Master¡¯s warrant plate or all the elders allowing, no one was allowed to go to the third floor of Martial Repository Pavilion at all. ¡°Hard Gold technique, allow the person who cultivates it to be able to make themselves be invulnerable to sword and spear. Brat, how about this martial technique?¡± Maybe Zhu Sijia knew that Ye Chuan¡¯s time was limited and was going to die soon at the competition, or maybe she didn¡¯t want Ye Chuan to lose too miserably and throw away the sect¡¯s face, she took the initiative to help Ye Chuan search for a strong martial technique to cultivate. Leaving her anger aside, when handling affairs she was indeed quite efficient, knowing what kind of martial techniques were strong. Ye Chuan shook his head, ¡°This won¡¯t do, another technique please.¡± ¡°Full Moon Wind Riding Technique, allows the person who cultivates it to be able to make themselves be able to resist the wind and fly during the night when there is a full moon. How about it? This martial technique is very powerful.¡± Zhu Sijia picked out a small book and as their head leaned against one another, Ye Chuan once again smelled till her faint body fragrance. The fragrance was intoxicating, with every smell permeating into his inner heart. Ye Chuan glanced at Zhu Sijia¡¯s impressive chest and purposely sucked in a huge breath exaggeratedly. ¡°Hoodlum!¡± Zhu Sijia reacted and her neck instantly grew red. Ferociously staring at Ye Chuan as she pulled away their distance, feeling angry and shy. ¡°Another technique again.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and looked at Zhu Sijia while smiling. This lady here who was usually unruly and shrewish, who knew that during crucial moments, she would also be shy. Martial Repository Pavilion was Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s important place and disciples could only come in once every year. The martial techniques within Martial Repository Pavilion were surely not of the ordinary. Zhu Sijia picked out many renowned martial techniques but Ye Chuan just wasn¡¯t interested in any of them at all. In the end, Ye Chuan found a book in the corner which had two words ¡®Inch Light¡± on it. ¡°Brat, this¡­this is just a martial technique for Wuzhe, you¡­¡± Zhu Sijia looked at Ye Chuan in disbelief. To not want all the martial techniques which Xiushi cultivators yearn for day and night and instead choosing a martial technique for Wuzhe¡­ There must be some problems with this brat¡¯s mind! Zhu Sijia was puzzled and did not understand why he would want a martial technique for Wuzhe when he could have chosen a Xiushi martial technique instead. She sized Ye Chuan up and down, wanting to thoroughly see through him. Ever since Ye Chuan had come back from God Burial Valley, she could not see through Ye Chuan anymore and did not know what Ye Chuan was constantly thinking. ¡°I am currently only rank 5 Wuzhe. If I don¡¯t choose a Wuzhe martial technique, what else would I choose?¡± Ye Chuan laughed and turned his body as he left. The martial technique Inch Light was of no interest to anyone but only he knew that this martial technique was actually Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s founding master Ghost Hand Medicinal King¡¯s innate technique. Ghost Hand Medicinal King was once a yao rabbit and his mouth was always moving endlessly, and had always liked to steal treasures and eat medicinal herbs. Due to this, he would always hide a small blade in his mouth. After hard work and numerous revisions, he finally concentrated his innate talent into a Wuzhe martial technique. After finally becoming a Great Sage, Ghost Hand Medicinal King once again revised his technique and when this technique was cultivated successfully, its might was far above the might of a Xiushi martial techniques. Unfortunately, after million years had passed, no one in the sect knows what¡¯s what already and did not know of this martial technique¡¯s origin at all. To finally enter into Martial Repository Pavilion once every year, the disciples would always rush to pick out a Xiushi martial technique. Who would even notice a Wuzhe martial technique in the corner? Even if someone had by coincident picked up the book and browsed over the details of Inch Light, without calming down their heart and cultivate with hard work, it was useless too, as they would not be able to find out how strong the martial technique Inch Light was. Bringing the book which was filled with dust, Ye Chuan left Martial Repository Pavilion and went to Weaponry Pavilion to pick out nine pairs of thin blades that were one inch long. After hearing the news of Ye Chuan¡¯s activity of the day, few elders started to shake their head with an ugly expression on their face and Jin Hua who was plotting on how to make Ye Chuan suffer started to burst out into loud laughter. To enter into a mountain filled with treasure and leave empty handed¡­ If that person was not an idiot then what was he? Jin Hua laughed heartily but in an instant, after thinking that Zhu Sijia would rather be with someone as stupid as Ye Chuan and not pay attention to him, his heart could not help to start feeling more depressed. It was okay no matter who he had lost to, but to have lost to someone like Ye Chuan, how could he even lift his head up in front of others in the future? Jin Hua exerted strength into his hand and firmly crushed the wine cup in his hand, causing the maid who was in his embrace to turn pale from fright. He was in a bad mood, no matter how nice the good wine was, even after drinking it would make him feel disgusted. ¡°Young master, if you want to let that brat Ye Chuan suffer, it is but a trivial matter. We can¡­¡± The advisor who was standing by the side was smooth and slick. Knowing what Jin Hua was thinking about, he walked up two steps and softly whisper a few sentences to Jin Hua. The eyes of the gloomy faced Jin Hua instantly lighted up and burst into loud laughter again. Hundred kilometers away from Cloud Mist Sect, within Black Cauldron Sect, someone was loudly laughing too. ¡°Ha ha ha, mediocre body, mediocre fetus, mediocre life. Taking away a broom after entering into Weaponry Pavilion and entering into Martial Repository Pavilion but took a Wuzhe martial technique instead of Xiushi martial technique. To have such a Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, even if Cloud Mist Sect does not want to lose, it is also not possible at all. Seems like Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s luck is really at its end.¡± Within a grand hall where two rows of big cauldrons were arranged, and a giant man with the height of more than two meters was laughing out loud with his head facing upwards. After a good while, looking at the trusted aide which was kneeling down before him, his face turned cold and asked: ¡°Xiao Wu, is Ye Chuan, that brat really only rank 5 Wuzhe? Have you investigated properly?¡± ¡°Reporting back to Sect Master, I have indeed investigated properly, there is truly no mistakes at all about this information.¡± Xiao Wu replied. ¡°Ha ha ha! Good, continue to investigate and at the same time pay attention to Five Style Sect¡¯s actions too. Cloud Mist Sect is finished for sure. The position of overlord within Cloud Mist Mountain will become our Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s position soon!¡± The giant man laughed loudly, causing the ninety-nine bronze cauldrons in the hall to shake, and at the same time, the disciples who were guarding outside felt stabbing pain in their ear. After pausing, the giant man¡¯s face turned cold and still felt somewhat not at ease, ¡°No, this won¡¯t do. I have to make a trip to Cloud Mist Sect and see Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s situation with my own eyes, if not I won¡¯t feel at ease. Hmmm, what kind of big gift should I prepare for Cloud Mist Sect?¡± The giant man who was sitting at the top of the hall started to contemplate as the coldness in his eyes grew colder and colder. After a while, an idea appeared in his mind and he smiled evilly, with his smile looking extremely cold and sinister. Chapter 09: Evil Dragon Abyss Chapter 09: Evil Dragon Abyss After leaving from Martial Repository Pavilion and returning to Purple Cloud Peak, Ye Chuan started to go into seclusion to cultivate. Half a month later, he would have to set out for a journey towards Wind Cloud Arena which was hundred li away from Cloud Mist Sect to take part in the Great Competition between three big sect¡¯s disciples, thus he would have to make some preparations too. Brushing away the dust on the book, the two words ¡®Inch Light¡¯ that was on the book¡¯s cover clearly appeared before his eyes as he used his fingertips to gently rub the two words. The memory of when Ghost Hand Medicinal King coming to have an audience with him and asking him to point out on cultivation stuff was still vivid in his mind. The martial technique Inch Light was Ghost Hand Medicinal King¡¯s innate technique and Ye Chuan also spent quite a few meticulous care towards it. It was due to Ye Chuan pointing out for Ghost Hand Medicinal King that Ghost Hand Medicinal King was finally able to make his innate technique raise a level higher and was finally able to cultivate his innate technique to the peak and to then later become the first generation of Sect Master and known by others as Ghost Hand Great Sage. A crafty rabbit has three burrows, but Ghost Hand Medicinal King was not only a crafty rabbit, he was actually a crafty old rabbit and his cautiousness was embodied into every single detail. The martial technique Inch Light which was recorded onto the book had a secret that was not known to anyone, strictly forming into 3 type of rules in the book. Most parts of the content in the book was of no use at all and so much useless information recorded on the book was just to mislead others. At the interval of every three page, every three rows, and every three words, according to the 3 rules in the book, the real martial technique was hidden away. Ye Chuan knew Ghost Hand Medicinal King¡¯s secret but he still used fully half an hour before arranging out the real Inch Light martial technique out properly. After attentively reading and finishing engraving every single information of the martial technique into his heart and mind, he used a fire to burn away the book. Then sitting cross-legged on the floor, his right hand held a pair of a thin blade, his arm not moving at all, only moving few of his fingers and the pair of a thin blade which was between his thumb, forefinger and middle finger started to rotate. At the beginning, the thin blade rotated very slowly and seemed somewhat rigid. But very slowly, the rotation of the thin blade became smooth and unhindered. His arm was motionless and even his wrist was not moving at all, but with just merely few fingers, he was already able to make the thin blade rotate very quickly and do few actions with it like cutting and pulling it back and forth. Inch Light, in close distance, its ability would truly showcase out! The crucial point of the martial technique Inch Light was in its fierce power eruption, being able to erupt out an extremely fierce attack within the shortest period of time. Holding the thin blade in his hand during battle, he would need to find an instant to cut open his opponent¡¯s main artery or throat and give out a clear cut fatal strike. Ye Chuan sat down cross-legged on the floor and started to meditate his mind and cultivate. Slowly, the thin blade in his hand increased to two, three then until the limit of four. Immediately afterwards, both his hands started to move and on each hand appeared four pairs of thin blades. A thin blade was contained in his mouth too and as he stretched out his tongue, a blade light could be seen flickering in his mouth. With his body staying motionless and even his eyes closed, on his body, 9 thin blades started to rotate at high speed, emitting out biting cold murderous aura into the air. A fly which could not endure the murderous aura, which was getting stronger and stronger, in the air suddenly flew out from a corner and flew towards the window, just flying pass by Ye Chuan¡¯s body. Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes were still closed. His ears slightly moved and a pair of thin blade suddenly flew out while rotating in high speed and scraped past the belly of the fly. The fly got startled and spread out its wings to increase its speed and flew faster towards the window. Another thin blade flew out from Ye Chuan¡¯s hand and this time the rotating thin blade chopped off the fly¡¯s left wing into half. The fly tumbled onto the study table and with a buzzing sound, it once again flew towards the window with great speed, but this time staggering from side to side as it flew. ¡°Buzz!¡± Just as the fly was about to fly out of the window, Ye Chuan suddenly spat out a blade light from his mouth. Another pair of thin blade flew out and this time landing directly onto the fly¡¯s body, cutting it into two pieces. ¡°A pity that I am still not that used to this technique yet and my control is also not that good yet.¡± Taking a look at the fly which died at the window ledge, Ye Chuan shook his head and kept the 9 thin blades as he picked up the crystal bottle on the study table to take a look. Two whole days have already passed and the fly which got closed within the bottle had actually still not yet died and was currently struggling within the medicinal herb¡¯s liquid. Towards the tenacious vitality and adaptability strength of the Wilderness mutated fly, Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised. Ye Chuan lifted up his head and looked out the window. Not sure when, the sky had already turned dark and the hazy moonlight started shining down from the sky to the ground. Within the cold air, a faintly strange smell was vaguely brought along by the wind. The flies which were hiding in the day had all started to come out in the night and throw themselves onto the medicinal herb to suck on the medicinal herb¡¯s juice. Ye Chuan shook the crystal bottle and opened up the cover of the crystal bottle. The fly which was closed in the crystal bottle started to emit out a buzzing sound and quickly flew out. Compared to the other flies, this fly was somewhat different as it did not stop over at any medicinal herbs on the way to suck on the medicinal herb¡¯s juices and continuously flew towards the back mountain of Cloud Mist Sect. Ye Chuan stayed a distance behind the fly as he followed along with where the fly was going. Although the liquid which was dripped into the crystal bottle seemed like it was ordinary, the liquid was actually a renowned liquid which was able to let someone quickly feel deeply dizzy and this fly was no exception too. Under Ye Chuan¡¯s conscious command, the fly could not take into consideration to feed onto the medicinal herb¡¯s juice and instead quickly return back to its nest. The sudden appearance of all those Wilderness mutated flies was too odd already and Ye Chuan was intending to investigate it out thoroughly to see what was actually happening Cloud Mist Sect had an ancient restriction formation which was protecting it and thus beasts did not dare to approach near Cloud Mist Sect at all. But it was a totally different matter after arriving at the back of the mountain which was actually stretched out for thousands of miles long. Danger lurks everywhere within the back mountain with hundred different kinds of beasts roaring around and from time to time being able to hear the sounds of mournful howls too. Ye Chuan was calm and unhurried, the whole journey following behind that Wilderness mutated fly which he let out from the crystal bottle. But after half an hour passed when he finally arrived at the place where that fly had disappeared to, and thoroughly looking around the surrounding topography, his face couldn¡¯t help slightly becoming shocked too. What appeared before his eyes was a deep and unmeasurable abyss. Looking down into the abyss with the light from the hazy moonlight, the fog was rising upwards from the abyss and the fog was actually red in color looking just like scarlet blood. Standing at the top of the precipice and looking down into the abyss, he was unable to restrain his emotions and couldn¡¯t help feeling the willies. In the air, yang qi was abundant but the air also brought forth a smell which let one couldn¡¯t help feeling uneasy. A cryptic power fluctuation which belonged to the remnant of ancient restriction formation drifted within the air too. Evil Dragon Abyss! Ye Chuan followed the Wilderness mutated fly and had arrived at Cloud Mist Mountain¡¯s dangerous ground. Million years ago when Ghost Hand Medicinal King built Cloud Mist Sect, Evil Dragon Abyss had already existed there. It was said that the reason why the yang qi in the abyss was surging here was because that an ancient evil dragon was confined deep within the abyss. Afterwards, Evil Dragon Abyss slowly became a place where Cloud Mist Sect banished traitors in the sect to, a place where disciples who have committed a mortal crime and judged with death punishment were sent to. To have accumulated over a long period of time, who knows how much bones of the dead have already been accumulated in the abyss, gradually turning this place into a dangerous ground. Before being trapped within God Burial Valley, Ye Chuan had once come to Cloud Mist Sect to take a look at this deep abyss. During that time, even though Evil Dragon Abyss had already turned into a dangerous ground, it was still not as dangerous as it was currently. Standing at the precipice of the abyss for a while, even Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t help feeling alarmed too, not sure what kind of changes have happened within the abyss after millions of years. ¡°The yang qi here is abundant and is beneficial to cultivator who cultivates pure yang martial techniques but there is poison in the fog that rises from the Evil Dragon Abyss so don¡¯t stand too long at the precipice of the abyss for too long.¡± A voice which carried a somewhat hoarse sound rang out. Ye Chuan turned his body and only then realized that not sure since when, a middle-aged man was currently standing behind him. The middle age man wore a square hat on his head and a green color gown. The power fluctuation within his body was faint and dim too, appearing to be just like an elegant scholar. When walking, the middle age man was soundless and breathless, his cultivation being deep and unmeasurable. Although Ye Chuan had just recently started to cultivate from the start, his experience was still there but he actually was not able to see through the middle age man at all, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Who am I?¡± The green gown man laughed mockingly at himself, his face appearing somewhat bitter and astringent and softly said: ¡°You can just call me Seventh Elder.¡± After that not waiting for Ye Chuan to ask anything else, the green gowned man suddenly turned his body and left. The green gowned man¡¯s footstep did not seem fast at all but in the blink of an eye, he quickly disappeared from Ye Chuan¡¯s sight. ¡°Seventh Elder?¡± Ye Chuan creased his brows. Cloud Mist Sect only had five elders currently, so when did Seventh Elder appear? A burst of rustle sound suddenly appeared. The scarlet blood fog below the precipice started to suddenly roll up and the fishy wind hit towards Ye Chuan¡¯s face. Chapter 10: This pit is a little deep Chapter 10: This pit is a little deep ¡°Hiss!¡± Below the abyss, a python suddenly stretched its head out from the blood fog and bite towards Ye Chuan with its mouth wide open. The whole body of the python was actually in red with a thick layer of red scale covering over its body. Ye Chuan retreated backward and dodged the attack from the python. The python turned its head and shook its tail, turning its body over and throwing itself towards Ye Chuan once again, appearing to be just a like fish swimming unconstrained in the blood fog. Ye Chuan once again retreated backward but this time a pair of thin blades appeared in in his right hand. ¡°Hiss!¡± The python hissed angrily and once again threw itself towards Ye Chuan with more momentum this time. Ye Chuan did not evade the python this time and collided head on with the python. The instant when the python and Ye Chuan was about to knock against each other, the half formed Heaven Swallowing Talisman within Ye Chuan¡¯s body started to revolve and Ye Chuan¡¯s back suddenly fell towards the ground and as his back rubbed against the ground, Ye Chuan¡¯s body had reached the abdomen of the python. Ye Chuan slashed lightly with the pair of thin blade in his hand and a huge hole was slashed open from the abdomen of the python to its tail, practically being slashed into half. After getting slashed, the python rolled on the floor and hissed in grief for a while before ceasing to struggle anymore. Compared to the period when Ye Chuan was still in his peak, the current him with the cultivation of rank 5 Wuzhe was not even worth mentioning at all. However, his experience which had far surpassed others, strong body and tenacious willpower still allowed him to be able to display out reaction and movement which normal cultivators would not be able to display out during dangerous moments. To be able to show off its true ability in close range combat, this was precisely Inch Light! The berserk power which was brought forth by the Heaven Swallowing Talisman had even increased the might of Inch Light. How was the python going to even be able to survive from Inch Light after that? Ye Chuan wiped off the bloodstain on the thin blade and kept it away as he squatted down to carefully examine the corpse of the python. Very quickly, he came to a conclusion which even he himself felt hard to believe. This red python which was as thick as a thigh was actually just an ordinary cauliflower snake. Just that not sure what brought forth the change but the appearance of the cauliflower snake was totally different compared to the general cauliflower snake and even the temperament of the changed cauliflower snake was totally different too, being more aggressive than the general cauliflower snake. Just what kind of things was there within the Evil Dragon Abyss and what kind of changes have happened in the Evil Dragon Abyss after millions of years? Ye Chuan¡¯s thoughts were puzzled as he look down towards the abyss where only the blood fog rolling up and down could be seen. After entering into the blood fog, the fly which got tamed by Ye Chuan instantly disappeared. Not sure if the fly had returned back to its nest within the blood fog or had already died by accident, Ye Chuan had already lost the connection with the fly. The smell which came from below the abyss made one feel uneasy but there was one point which made Ye Chuan feel unexpected, which was that just merely standing at the edge of the abyss for a while, the spiritual energy within his body had already begun to stir around restlessly, having the indication of speeding up the refining of the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal within his body and breaking through to rank 6 Wuzhe. What the self-proclaimed Seventh Elder said was indeed correct. The yang qi around the Evil Dragon Abyss was indeed very strong and when cultivating around here, it was half the work and twice the effect for cultivators who cultivated yang techniques. Also, it just so happens that yang qi was one of the crucial points to cultivating Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique! Ye Chuan slightly muttered to himself irresolutely and took out a few incense sticks. After igniting the few incense sticks and placing it around his body, Ye Chuan sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate. Those few incense sticks had the effect of calming one¡¯s soul and blocking away poison, preventing the poison within the blood fog to invade Ye Chuan. Under the assistant of the incense sticks, Ye Chuan started to silently read out Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique. The same as last time, Ye Chuan controlled his cultivation from breaking through to the next rank too fast and instead guides the spiritual qi and yang qi within his body to refine his skin, flesh, muscles and bones, again and again refining his body. The stronger Ye Chuan¡¯s body was, the more he could display out the might of the technique, Inch Light. Ye Chuan was not anxious to breakthrough and had the intention to sharpen every single rank and realm of his cultivation to the peak. Only this way then he could set up his foundation properly and display out the full might of Inch Light. The time of three days passed by in a flash. Ye Chuan had been sitting cross-legged to cultivate from the beginning to the end for three days. Fortunately, after killing the mutated cauliflower snake, no more beasts had come out from the abyss anymore, letting him cultivate in peace. After leaving from Evil Dragon Abyss and returning back to the Purple Cloud Courtyard, it was already midnight. Ye Chuan pushed open the door and just when he was about to walk in, his eyebrows suddenly jumped as a blade suddenly stabbed out towards him through the door. ¡°Who?!¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s body quickly retreated backward and dodged away from the biting cold blade. Within the courtyard, a person with a mask and black clothing suddenly jumped onto the courtyard¡¯s wall and left quickly stomping his leg. The masked person immediately fled away after not landing his attack onto Ye Chuan. ¡°Humph! Want to run?¡± Ye Chuan snorted and pursued after the masked person. The masked person charged into a forest and Ye Chuan followed him into the forest daringly, totally not caring about the old adage of ¡®do not enter when coming across a forest¡¯. Two people, one at the front and one at the back started to pass over one mountain ridge by another. The cultivation of the masked person was higher than Ye Chuan but his speed did not dominate over Ye Chuan¡¯s speed at all and very slowly, Ye Chuan gradually started pulling the distance from the masked person closer and closer. However, after crossing over a bamboo forest, the masked person which was obviously not too far away from Ye Chuan just a moment ago suddenly increased his speed and instantly disappeared. Compared to before, the masked person¡¯s speed suddenly increased several times. ¡°Not good, I have fallen into a trap already!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly stopped his footsteps and started observing around his surrounding carefully. Within the cold wind, a faint medicinal fragrance was brought along by the wind. This was a piece of medicinal herb field which grew different kinds of famous and valuable medicinal herbs. Dragon whisker grass, zi mu monstera, gold thread demonic taro, etc¡­, every medicinal herb grown here was valuable, especially the water lily in the middle of the field which had at least the age of 800 years old and even at most 1000 year old. Just now when Ye Chuan was chasing after the masked person, so he did not notice that the many medicinal herbs around here had already been stepped, but now he did. This is a trap! After observing around, Ye Chuan suddenly understood something and just when he was about to turn his body and leave, a foul-mouthed voice suddenly rang out and a white beard old man who was carrying a medicinal herb hoe dashed to the field, ¡°Brat, where do you think you are running to?¡± The old man¡¯s eyes were red, blowing onto his beard and glaring at Ye Chuan. Such an old age already but the strength exerted out by the old man was extraordinarily powerful as the old man immediately used the hoe in his hand to smash onto Ye Chuan¡¯s head, bringing forth a wind and thunder sound. ¡°Second Elder, it is me.¡± Ye Chuan dodged to the side and immediately recognized this old man wasn¡¯t anyone else but was precisely Second Elder Nan Gongren who was famous within the sect for having the hobby of growing medicinal herbs. Carelessly moving backward, Ye Chuan once again accidentally stepped onto a dragon whisper grass. ¡°Brat, I know that it is you! You¡­you still dare to step onto my medical herb?!¡± Second Elder shouted angrily. Second Elder¡¯s name was Nan Gongren but his temper was so fiery that he could not tolerate a single bit at all. Smashing down with the hoe again but with more strength this time, Ye Chuan¡¯s escape was totally blocked. A bright idea suddenly occurred to Ye Chuan and he dodged to the back of the 800 year old water lily. Immediately, the hoe which was smashing down suddenly stop, ¡°Brat, come out! If you dare to step onto another medicinal herb, even if the Sect Master was to come in person, he would not be able to save you too.¡± ¡°Second Elder, this is all a mistake. Someone set me up and purposely lured me here.¡± Ye Chuan hid behind the water lily and remained still. The energy which was within Second Elder was surging with strength, obviously someone with the strength of Daoist Master realm. Daoist Master realm was much stronger compared to Xiushi realm and what more was, that Ye Chuan was still not even Xiushi realm, but was merely in Wuzhe realm. To walk out from the water lily right now, that is only if Ye Chuan had lost his mind and was tired of living. In the distant, noisy voices suddenly appeared as many disciples quickly came to the medicinal herb field after hearing the noise coming from here. To connect everything together and deduce it all down for a while, Ye Chuan knew what was happening already. Clearly, someone was deliberately setting him up and want to attempt to use the strength of others to kill him. Fatty Zhao Dazhi, the unruly and shrewish Zhu Sijia, or¡­ Ye Chuan pondered for a while and roughly guessed who the one that plotted this was. Fatty Zhao Dazhi was a coward, even if fatty Zhao Dazhi was given guts of a tiger, fatty Zhao Dazhi would not dare to do something like this too. Although Zhu Sijia was resentful towards him, but no matter how unruly and shrewish Zhu Sijia was, Zhu Sijia was unlikely to use this kind of despicable method to take revenge on him. The only one who had the ability and courage to use this kind of despicable method was obviously Jin Hua. ¡°Humph, misunderstand? So was it just a misunderstanding that these few months, so many of my medicinal herbs had been stolen and stepped on?¡± Second elder clenched his teeth, obviously not willing to leave the matter at that. ¡°Three months ago, disciple had received orders to go to God Burial Valley to pluck medicinal herbs and only came back a few days ago after surviving with a narrow escape. Second Elder, I think you have found the wrong person!¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°Humph, humph¡­¡± Second Elder was at a loss for words after hearing what Ye Chuan said but clearly still did not intend to let the matter go. A cold light flickered within second elder¡¯s hand and without waiting for Ye Chuan to react, a fishing net appeared out of the blue and trapped Ye Chuan tightly, ¡°Brat, regardless whether if the medicinal herbs in the past three months was stepped or stolen by you. In any case, I have caught you red handed today and will break both of your legs as punishment!¡± Second elder¡¯s physique was short and small but his temper was extremely violent, immediately taking out Immortal Trapping Net and trap Ye Chuan, then afterwards lift up the medicinal herb hoe in his hand. Ye Chuan had reacted too slowly and was now in a predicament. Not too far from the medicinal herb field, Jin Hua who was hiding in the dark was bursting with joy and laughing out loud, ¡°Hahaha, break, go and break both of his legs! Brat, want to fight with me? Steal my woman? You are still too inexperienced!¡± ¡°Congratulations young master! To fall into the hands of Second Elder, even if that brat Ye Chuan don¡¯t die, he would still have to at least shed away a layer of his skin! Afterwards, just with a few more planning and work, the position of Big Senior-Brother would have to change for sure. With young master¡¯s prestige and capability¡­¡± Advisor He Taixu who had a goat beard laughed. ¡°Old He, if the matter really succeeds, there will be benefits for you too!¡± Jin Hua¡¯s eyes shone and quickly thought of the benefits from getting the position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. An elder and a youngster laughed as they turned their body to leave and start preparing for their next plan. Chapter 11: This time lost big already Chapter 11: This time lost big already ¡°Wait!¡± Seeing that Second Elder Nan Gongren¡¯s hoe was going to smash into him, Ye Chuan shouted loudly, ¡°Old guy, didn¡¯t you just transplanted this water lily here?!¡± Just when Second Elder Nan Gongren¡¯s hoe was about half an inch away from Ye Chuan¡¯s knee, Second Elder Nan Gongren suddenly stopped his hoe. A strong wind blew towards Ye Chuan¡¯s face as his hair blew backwards and his gown made out the flapping sound. Good fellow, looking at this Second Elder Nan Gongren¡¯s aura and attitude, he wasn¡¯t just saying out things to scare Ye Chuan but was really indeed intending to break both of Ye Chuan¡¯s leg after he had said he was going to. ¡°Brat, how did you know that I have just transplanted this 800 year old water lily here?¡±Second Elder rolled his eyes and looked at Ye Chuan suspiciously. As long as Ye Chuan¡¯s answer was not to his satisfaction, he would immediately continue to smack the hoe onto Ye Chuan¡¯s legs. ¡°Very simple. The soil around the water lily are all new, showing signs that the soil was definitely just dug out not long ago to place the water lily. The surrounding soils are somewhat different too, which were definitely brought from some other place right?¡± Ye Chuan answered, observing the water lily down to the smallest detail and quickly found out that this water lily was somewhat different. ¡°Not bad. Brat, you are at the least somewhat attentive.¡± Second Elder nodded his head but his face turned cold, and once again lifting up the hoe in his hand, ¡°But, to have trampled on so many medicinal herbs, you must have really been tired of living brat! For the sake of Sect Master, I will give a lenient punishment for you and only break only one of your leg!¡± Second Elder¡¯s temper was fiery, not even having finished his sentence, the medicinal herb hoe in his hand had already once again whistled and smashed towards Ye Chuan¡¯s left leg. ¡°Finished already, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is really finished this time!¡± ¡°Precisely. To dare to provoke Second Elder, isn¡¯t this seeking death?¡± Cries of surprise could be heard within the dark as the disciples who had rushed to the medicinal herb field after receiving news that something was happening here started to discuss what was happening between Second Elder and Ye Chuan. Zhu Sijia was here too. Looking at what was happening, her face flashed through a trace of not being able to bear and wanted to step out to prevent Second Elder from breaking Ye Chuan¡¯s leg but after taking a step out, she started to somewhat hesitate. Second Elder Nan Gongren¡¯s temper was famous for being fiery. Most of the time he would not talk just like a mute person but once his bad temper came, even if 10 bulls were to pull onto Second Elder, they would not be able to stop him at all. After coming back from God Burial Valley, Ye Chuan¡¯s temperament took a huge change and had turned from an idiot Big Senior Apprentice-Brother to a hoodlum Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. Her chest got touched by him during a confusion and even her buttocks got smack by him too. Even if she was to not bicker with Ye Chuan, with Second Elder¡¯s temper, she would also not be able to advise and stop Second Elder at all! Zhu Sijia suddenly turned her body and urgently instructed, ¡°Fatty, quickly go and bring my grandfather here. Ask him to come here immediately.¡± ¡°Ok!¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi knew how grave this matter was and while jolting his buttocks, he quickly went to bring Great Elder here. Right now, fatty¡¯s attitude towards Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother was already different compared to before. Even if Zhu Sijia had not instructed him to do anything, he would have also thought of some method to help Ye Chuan. Second Elder¡¯s temper was fiery, but he would still at the least listen to Great Elder¡¯s instruction. Just that¡­water from afar could not put out the fire which was nearby! Seeing that Second Elder Nan Gongren was blowing onto his beard while glaring at Ye Chuan and the hoe within Second Elder Nan Gongren¡¯s hand was about to smash onto Ye Chuan¡¯s leg, Zhu Sijia¡¯s heart was nervous and just when she was about to clench her teeth and rush upwards to stop Second Elder, Ye Chuan shouted at the top of his lung, ¡°Wait! Old man, your water lily is about to die soon! Do you still have the leisure to go crazy here?!¡± The heavy hoe once again stopped suddenly. Second Elder opened his eyes wide and glared at Ye Chuan, ¡°Say, why is this water lily about to die soon? Don¡¯t attempt to talk rubbish and stall for time. If not, I will tear away this jinxing mouth of yours!¡± ¡°There are lots of flies in the mountains recently and many medicinal herbs had already withered and died due to these flies. Your water lily right here is no different too.¡± Ye Chuan took a glance at the fiery tempered Second Elder and indifferently said: ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can squat down and look carefully at the water lily. A layer of densely packed flies had attached themselves onto the water lily and the juice within the petals of the water lily had already been sucked dry by the flies. Soon, the water lily will wither and die already.¡± ¡°Are you serious about this?¡± Second Elder asked half believing and half doubting Ye Chuan¡¯s words. Second Elder already knew about the matter that a layer of flies attaching themselves onto the water lily. But, the entire water lily looked lush green and filled with vigorous life. To say that the water lily was about to wither and die already¡­wasn¡¯t this over exaggerating? ¡°Won¡¯t you know if what I am saying is true or false by just peeling off a petal from the water lily and look at it?¡± Ye Chuan replied, with a face that looked like he was telling Second Elder, ¡®believe me or not is your choice¡¯. The more Ye Chuan looked calm and collected, the more Second Elder felt uneasy. After thinking for a while, Second Elder took out a small knife and peeled off a petal from the water lily to look at it. As expected, although the outside of the water lily looked as if it was filled with life and lush green, the inside of the water lily had already started to wither already. ¡°Damn it, how did this happen?¡± Second Elder¡¯s face changed immediately and gnashed his teeth as he stretched out his hand and pressed towards the air. The flies which attached themselves onto the water lily immediately fell onto the ground like raindrops and a bunch of flies died on the ground. Not bad, this technique called Dragon Claw Hand was displayed quite skillfully! Ye Chuan was feeling somewhat unexpected as Dragon Claw Hand was one of Ghost Hand Medicinal King¡¯s technique which was very difficult to cultivate that even a few of Ghost Hand Medicinal King¡¯s direct disciple was not able to cultivate at all. Because of this, Ghost Hand Medicinal King had once been very vexed about this matter and looked for Ye Chuan to look for a method to solve this problem. At that time, Ye Chuan did not have any method to solve the Ghost Hand Medicinal King¡¯s problem at all. After all, the stronger a technique was, the difficulty to cultivate that technique would naturally of course be harder too. To not expect that although this Second Elder Nan Gongren¡¯s temper was fiery, Second Elder had actually learned how to cultivate Dragon Claw Hand. ¡°Old man, this way won¡¯t do. There are too many flies of this type around here currently and these flies is also a mutated type, so it will not matter at all how many you kill them. If this continues, very soon, this water lily will die.¡± Ye Chuan said indifferently. Just as expected, buzzing sounds came from all four directions and very quickly, a huge swarm of flies flew out from the dark and attached themselves onto the water lily. Second Elder did not believe evil at all and used Dragon Claw Hand again and again. A pity, it didn¡¯t matter at all how much these flies he killed. Just after killing a swarm of flies, another swarm of flies would immediately fly out from the dark and attach itself to the water lily again. ¡°An 800 years old water lily¡­What a pity, sigh¡­¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. To get trapped within a weird fishing net, Ye Chuan¡¯s face was actually calm and collected and instead even seemed as if he felt a pity about the water lily dying. Second Elder, who kept killing the flies but still could not stop the flies from attaching themselves to the water lily turned his body and fiercely said: ¡°Brat, how did you know that this water lily is already 800 years old?¡± ¡°It¡¯s what said in the book. Petals which was as if arms and the water lily which looked just like a white flower. If this water lily was to grow for another 200 years, it could even start to take in the essence of the sun and moon and grow essence too. What a pity¡­what a pity indeed¡­¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. Second Elder indeed took the bait and began to turn urgent, ¡°Brat, did the book say anything about what to do when met with this kind of problem?¡± ¡°Yes. The book did say something about what to do when met with this kind of problem. Let me think¡­ Ouch, my head is starting to get dizzy after standing for too long¡­¡± Ye Chuan replied. Second Elder glared with his eyes again and was just about to use violence again but after seeing the water lily in front of Ye Chuan, he had no choice but to tolerate and went up to untie Ye Chuan from the fishing net. After keeping away the odd fishing net, ¡°Alright. You are alright now. Brat, can you now say the method to solve the problem?¡± ¡°My feet are feeling numb and my leg is feeling sore. Yep, I must have suffered from an injury just now that even my stomach feel stuffy and painful right now.¡± Ye Chuan replied, acting out as if he was in pain. Zhu Sijia who was looking at the side couldn¡¯t help laughing after seeing the way Ye Chuan acted. Second Elder¡¯s temper was very eccentric, fiery and stubborn. In the days, even Zhu Sijia would fear the Second Elder to some degree too. ¡°Brat, are you tired of living already?¡± Second Elder rolled his eyes and his temper started to act up again. ¡°I¡¯m tired already. I¡¯m going back to Purple Cloud Peak to take a good nap. Second Elder, you can do as you wish. Don¡¯t worry, within a short time, this water lily will at the least still not die and can at the very least last till daybreak. It would be hard to say after daybreak though¡­¡± Ye Chuan dusted away the dirt on his gown and turned his body to leave. ¡°Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t go, you can rest here at Second Elder¡¯s place too.¡± Second Elder blew his beard and glared at Ye Chuan with his eyes wide open but under someone¡¯s house, one had no choice but to lower their head. Very quickly, Second Elder¡¯s face turned into all smiles and brought Ye Chuan to a wooden house nearby to rest. Very quickly, Ye Chuan lied down within the wooden house and bossed Second Elder around and Second Elder instantly started to get busy within and outside the wooden house. According to Ye Chuan¡¯s pointing out, Second Elder started to refine out a special medicinal liquid to spray onto the water lily. The medicinal liquid was colorless and tasteless but strangely, after spraying the medicinal liquid onto the water lily, the flies which had attached themselves onto the water lily instantly flew away and hid as far away as they could away from the water lily. ¡°Ye Chuan, those flies had indeed all flew away. What should I do next?¡± ¡°There are defects within the spiritual congregation formation here and there is a need to mend the formation quickly. According to what the book said, there is a need to¡­ Ouch, why are my legs still so sore after resting for so long?¡± ¡°You can lie down here and rest. I will help you massage your legs for you.¡± ¡­¡­ Second Elder started to become busy and just to save his 800 years old water lily, he had even not cared about his face at all already. To be nicknamed as Medicine Crazy was really not just for show. In Second Elder¡¯s entire life, his only hobby was to plant medicinal herbs. Second Elder Nan Gongren did not care about his identity as Second Elder but the disciples who were watching outside the wooden house¡¯s windows was already in a daze. Originally, the disciples had thought that they would be able to see how Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother get beaten up by Second Elder. Who would have guessed that, the thing they had estimated would happen in the beginning didn¡¯t happen, and what they had never guessed had happened in the end. And news of what happened between Ye Chuan and Second Elder quickly got spread out within the sect. Within the hall of a sumptuous mansion, Jin Hua¡¯s face was sinister as he breaks a wine cup into fragments and fiercely stared at a trusted aide which was kneeling before him, ¡°You say that Second Elder and Ye Chuan have already reconciled?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The trusted aide replied. ¡°Damn it! This is not possible! How is this possible?!¡± Jin Hua was agitated with anger and was already on the verge of spitting out blood. In order to plan on how to seize the position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother for himself, he and advisor He Taixu had been busy all night long, spending a large amount of money to prepare generous gifts to give others to gain their support and after a while, he had finally won over many supporters in secret. And Jin Hua had thought that him replacing Ye Chuan as Big Senior Apprentice-Brother was already set in place but who would have thought that Ye Chuan would actually be alright and had already reconciled with Second Elder. He had only left the medicinal herb field for how long? How did this even happen? ¡°Young master, maybe the situation is not as we imagined and we can still continue to investigate it!¡± Advisor He Taixu went forward to console Jin Hua. ¡°Scram! What do you even still want to investigate?! Surnamed He, can you not just only play with schemes? Can you come up with something that can actually work out? I want to become Zhu Sijia¡¯s first man and I want to become the sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother! Even if I cannot sit on the position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I cannot let that brat Ye Chuan keep sitting in that position too! Do you understand?¡± Jin Hua¡¯s anger was soaring up to the sky and in a fit of anger, he flipped over the table in front of him. Cold sweat flowed out from He Taixu¡¯s face and after wiping away the wine which got splashed onto his face, He Taixu walked up towards Jin Hua to propose another plan. Jin Hua whose anger was soaring through the sky then only started to slowly calm down and then fiercely said: ¡°Old He, this time you can only succeed and you are not allowed to fail at all! If not, Evil Dragon Abyss will be your final destination!¡± ¡°Of course, of course, young master you can be at ease. That brat Ye Chuan was able to escape this time by luck but he won¡¯t be able to escape another time for sure!¡± He Taixu quickly replied as a few drips of cold sweat flowed out from his face. Chapter 12: Nan Tiandu Chapter 12: Nan Tiandu When doing things, advisor He Taixu was direct and efficient. At the afternoon of the second day, advisor He Taixu had already brought Jin Hua to Purple Cloud Peak to watch a show of what was going to happen to Ye Chuan. Within the courtyard of Purple Cloud Peak, Ye Chuan was currently reclining down on a bamboo chair while drinking a cup of first-rate Cloud Mist Camellia tea leisurely. When drinking this tea, a bitter taste would appear first and then afterwards bring forth a trace of sweetness, leaving a nice aftertaste for the drinker. Just a pity, Ye Chuan had not even finished drinking a cup of tea and had already wrinkled his brows as he felt a murderous intent coming closer and closer towards him from afar. ¡°Why do the flies in the mountain just not grow any eyes? No matter how many of them get killed, more of them just keep coming.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head as he stood up and walked outside the courtyard. Outside of the Purple Cloud Courtyard, a tall and straight male in black clothing with a long sword carried on his shoulder slowly walked towards Ye Chuan. This male¡¯s appearance was handsome and bright. If this male was to walk in the streets, who knows how many females would screech after seeing him. This male¡¯s eyes however were apathetic like water, appearing icy-cold like two streams of ice spring. The male walked very slowly, appearing like he was just taking a walk in the mountain but every step he took was actually close to 10 meters long. Although the male seemed as if he walked very slowly, his momentum was actually astonishing, giving others a feeling of misconception. What was even more shocking was that every step the male took, the ground would shake a bit and leave a deep footprint on the ground afterwards, seeming as if he was even heavier than a mammoth. An expert! This was an expert. Rank 3 Xiushi or rank 4 Xiushi? The pupil of Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes contracted backwards as he sized up the male. This was Ye Chuan¡¯s first time feeling a sense of danger after breaking out of God Burial Valley. The reason as to why Ye Chuan felt a sense of danger was not only because of the male¡¯s strong cultivation but it was also because of the male¡¯s eyes. To have once been Heaven Concealing Great Sage, this kind of eyes was something that even Ye Chuan had rarely seen. This black cloth male was absolutely someone who would murder others without blinking an eye and was decisive when killing! Looking at the black cloth male¡¯s attire, he should also be one of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciple but when did someone like this male appeared in this generation? Ye Chuan creased his brows as he searched everywhere in his memories but unfortunately was not able to find the male in his memories at all. The black cloth male¡¯s pace was steady and powerful. Only after walking till he was 10 meters away from Ye Chuan did he suddenly stopped his movement. The male remained silent as his pair of sharp eyes which was just a like a pair of icy-cold knife fell onto Ye Chuan¡¯s body. Ye Chuan remained silent too as he calmly sized up and down on this uninvited guest. How many years already? Was it 8 million years or was it 10 million years? Ye Chuan had not met an opponent like this for a very very long time already. The murderous intent which assaulted towards him made his spirit felt like it was stretched tightly but more of what he felt in his spirit was familiarity and excitement, vaguely feeling like he had returned back to the time when he was still Heaven Concealing Great Sage. Sounds of whispers could be heard coming from afar. The black cloth male had not come to Purple Cloud Peak for long and a big group of people had already rushed to the outside of Purple Cloud Courtyard to watch the show which was unveiling soon. Sweeping his eyes through the crowd in the distant, Ye Chuan had already seen few familiar figures. Fatty Zhao Dazhi was here, with a face of nervousness and uneasy. The unruly and shrewish Zhu Sijia was here too, similarly with a face of nervousness. Alchemy Hall¡¯s Jin Hua had come too, bringing along the inseparable advisor He Taixu with him as the two of them sneakily hid behind the back of the crowd. Compared to most of the crowd who had a face of nervousness and uneasy, Jin Hua and advisor He Taixu instead had an evil grin and expression that seemed like they were looking forward to something happening. This Jin Hua again! Brat, you are really tired of living already! A cold light flashed through Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes as he roughly knew what was happening. The scheming of Jin Hua and advisor He Taixu to frame him against Second Elder did not succeed and they had once again came up with another scheme. This two was truly treacherous and malicious, being more annoying than the flies which could fill an entire mountain. Some people truly just will not give up until they had seen their coffin in front of them. Just that, Ye Chuan did not know where Jin Hua and advisor He Taixu found and persuaded this expert to challenge him. ¡°So, you are the Sect Master¡¯s direct disciple, Ye Chuan?¡± The black cloth male coldly stared at Ye Chuan and only after remaining silent for a good while then did the black cloth male finally took the initiative to break the silence. Ye Chuan nodded his head, ¡°That¡¯s right, I am indeed Ye Chuan. Who are you?¡± ¡°Nan Taindu.¡± The black cloth male spoke out his name word by word. Cries of surprise suddenly came out from the crowd who was watching and Ye Chuan was also dazed for a moment as he suddenly thought of someone. Although Cloud Mist Sect was steadily deteriorating these few years, Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s foundation was after all still indeed deeply rooted and there were many people in the sect. Besides from the numerous handyman, the sect¡¯s disciples were divided into outer and inner disciples and within it, there were also ordinary disciples and elite disciples. After entering Cloud Mist Sect, some people would be allocated to Mountain Patrolling Hall, Tool Smelting Hall or Alchemy Hall, etc¡­ There are duties within every place that the disciples would have to do. Only after working hard on their duties then would the disciples be able to earn enough sect points to exchange martial techniques or treasures. But some people are different and just after entering the sect, they would find a remote place to cultivate alone, not paying attention to the affairs of life. To lack the support of the sect, the large majority of the disciples¡¯ achievements would be limited but there were also quite a few geniuses in the history of Wilderness World. Nan Taindu was precisely one of the genius in this younger generation of Cloud Mist Sect who had only cultivated by himself. It was rumored that during the age of 12, Nan Taindu had already broken through to Xiushi realm by himself, possessing remarkable abilities and his cultivation was also far above than Alchemy Hall¡¯s elite disciple, Jin Hua, who had the reputation of being known as a genius within the sect. Ye Chuan in the past had always closed himself off in Purple Cloud Peak and rarely went out, thus not knowing too well of many situations within the sect and had only somewhat heard of Nan Taindu¡¯s name. Nan Taindu and Ye Chuan had never crossed swords before but who knew Nan Taindu who had always cultivated in seclusion and not question anything about the affairs of life would suddenly come to Purple Cloud Peak to confront against Ye Chuan. ¡°The sect¡¯s rule of challenging others is five day a time. The time for my next challenge is still not here. So, junior apprentice-brother Taindu, what have you come here for?¡± Ye Chuan calmed himself down and remained calm and collected. Nan Taindu who had an icy-cold face from the beginning to the end suddenly had a trace of astonishment on his face and once again sized up and down on Ye Chuan. The rumors were indeed not equal to instead meeting the person face to face. The rumors had always said that Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother was extremely mediocre but within Nan Taindu¡¯s eyes, the Ye Chuan in front of him was more outstanding than any disciples he had met till now. Just speaking of Ye Chuan¡¯s calmness, most people were already inferior to Ye Chuan already. ¡°Murder someone.¡± Nan Taindu said coldly. Truly crazy! This Nan Taindu indeed had huge guts and was direct enough! The crowd who was watching cried out in surprise once again and fatty Zhao Dazhi was even dumbstruck as he opened his mouth wide with disbelief in his eyes. No matter how mediocre Ye Chuan was, he was still the sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother nominally. To not follow the sect¡¯s rule and lay hands on Ye Chuan, this was counted as offending the sect¡¯s rule and judge with a serious crime. A few days before, setting out in the dark to Purple Cloud Peak to beat up Ye Chuan, fatty Zhao Dazhi was also nervous and had even worn something to cover up his face. Who would even have the guts of Nan Taindu to confront Ye Chuan like this and even claiming to want to kill Ye Chuan too? ¡°Hahaha! Good, come! But before that, can you tell me why?¡± Ye Chuan laughed out loudly. Nan Taindu who had large strength was even more proud and arrogant than he had anticipated, but, he liked it! To want to slowly become stronger and even once again become a peak expert, not only do Ye Chuan need to cultivate, he also needed opponents like Nan Taindu. ¡°After killing you, the sect will then not suffer any humiliation during the three big sect competition. Since Big Senior Apprentice-Brother does not want to be the evil person, I will instead be this evil person then!¡± Nan Taindu slowly stepped out and the next moment his body was already in front of Ye Chuan. The changing of speed was only in an instant. A ¡®clang¡¯ sound rang out and Nan Taindu had already pulled out the long sword on his shoulder as stabbed out towards Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan lifted up his head to look forward and Nan Taindu¡¯s tall and straight figure had already disappeared. Dazzling sword light filled Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes as Ye Chuan felt an extremely dangerous energy speeding towards him. On the ground, a straight crack appeared which extended towards Ye Chuan and an ear-piercing sound could be heard within Ye Chuan¡¯s ears. Such a strong sword qi! Everyone¡¯s heart was alarmed as they quickly retreated further away from Ye Chuan and Nan Taindu. The sword qi which was brought forth was already this strong, how could Ye Chuan even block this sword attack from Nan Taindu? Ye Chuan who was going to bear the brunt, was he going to get cut into 8 pieces or turned into minced meat? Everyone took in a long cold breath but Jin Hua who was standing behind the crowd was instead laughing out loud with his head lifted towards the sky. ¡°Hahaha! Brat, go and die! Want to fight with me and steal my woman?¡± Jin Hua¡¯s face was sinister as he let out all the depressed feeling which was stuffed within him these past few days. Chapter 13: Millennium Genius Chapter 13: Millennium Genius With a stab of the sword, sword light and dust rolled around Nan Tiandu. This sword move displayed by Nan Tiandu showcased his exceeding strong cultivation base completely, letting disciples who had joined the sect at the same time as Nan Tiandu to only be able to see his dust and have no hope of catching up to him at all. Some of the disciples were exclaiming in admiration while some were shocked and some were anxious, feeling sorry for Ye Chuan. Zhu Sijia was feeling very nervous currently. Her chest got touched by Ye Chuan and her buttocks got hit by him too. So seeing Ye Chuan get killed by someone, she should be emotionally gratified but not sure why, she started to feel worried for Ye Chuan instead when seeing Ye Chuan was about to get killed by Nan Tiandu. The dust surrounding Nan Tiandu scattered away and everyone opened up their eyes wide with surprise filled in their eyes. Ye Chuan who had taken Nan Tiandu¡¯s sword stab head on did not die and was still standing in the front of Nan Tiandu. What was even more surprising was that there were no injuries on Ye Chuan¡¯s body except that the gown worn by Ye Chuan was currently somewhat messy. ¡°How is this possible?¡± ¡°How was he able to do that?¡± Everyone started to discuss what had just happened between Ye Chuan and Nan Tiandu while feeling astonish. In front of this sword stab by Nan Tiandu, even if it was an elite disciple with the cultivation of Xiushi realm, that elite disciple might not even have 100% chance to dodge the sword stab by Nan Tiandu completely. How was Ye Chuan who had only the cultivation of rank 5 Wuzhe able to do it? Nan Tiandu also felt very surprised and looked at Ye Chuan in disbelief. In the past few years, although there were indeed people who were able to escape from under his sword, it was still absolutely not something that a person with the cultivation of Wuzhe realm would be able to do at all. The rumored Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan who was extremely mediocre had once again made Nan Tiandu look at him with a whole new level of respect. ¡°Good swordsmanship! But a pity¡­junior apprentice-brother Nan Tiandu, your speed is still a little too slow!¡± Ye Chuan patted away the dust on his body and smiled dimly as he conveniently picked up the broom on the ground and made preparations to face against Nan Tiandu¡¯s next incoming attack. Just now, just when everyone thought that Ye Chuan was going to meet with mishap from Nan Tiandu¡¯s sword stab, Ye Chuan¡¯s body swayed like a cotton and dangerously avoided the fatal blow from Nan Tiandu. Ordinary body, ordinary fetus and ordinary life. Although Ye Chuan¡¯s current body could not be compared to the body he once had and his cultivation was not of the significance at all currently, his experience was still there and thus during a critical moment, his body would be able to make out a reaction which others would not be able to imagine at all. Although Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation was only at rank 5 Wuzhe now, but currently his body was actually stronger than fatty Zhao Dazhi who had a cultivation of rank 7 Wuzhe. The benefits of not rushing to breakthrough his cultivation rank and train his foundation for the past few days had finally emerged. Of course, the reason why Ye Chuan was able to dodge Nan Tiandu¡¯s sword stab was still because that Nan Tiandu¡¯s speed was still not fast enough. If Ye Chuan was facing someone who had the same speed as his enemies of the past thousands of millions of years, no matter how experienced Ye Chuan was, he would still be unable to do anything about it at all. Pretend, continue pretending! He was already such straits, but this Ye Chuan was still boasting shamelessly! Everyone was speechless. Nan Tiandu was already proud and arrogant enough, but looking at the situation currently, Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother seems to be more proud and arrogant when compared to Nan Tiandu. Nan Tiandu being proud and arrogant was because Nan Tiandu truly had the ability and capability to be proud and arrogant. What about this Ye Chuan? Isn¡¯t this Ye Chuan completely looking to die? ¡°Hahaha! Good! Good!¡± Nan Tiandu laughed with extreme anger and suddenly stepped forward as his body immediately jumped forward to Ye Chuan and once again stabbed out with his sword towards Ye Chuan, ¡°Is this quick enough now?!¡± Everyone¡¯s heart suddenly started to tighten up. This time, Nan Tiandu¡¯s sword stab was even faster and fiercer than before. Zhu Sijia was so nervous that she had started to clench her fist tightly with her palm filled with sweat. Originally, she still had the thought to challenge Nan Tiandu to see who was stronger. But after seeing the sword stab by Nan Tiandu, her heart had no more thoughts to challenge Nan Tiandu already. As for Jin Hua who was standing behind the crowd, he was once again filled with hope and started to burst into loud laughter again. Ye Chuan was able to luckily escape from Nan Tiandu¡¯s attack just now. But this time, he didn¡¯t believe that Ye Chuan this brat would be that lucky again! ¡°Ding!¡±A loud and clear sound of a weapon colliding against another weapon rang out in everyone¡¯s ears. Nan Tiandu cried out in shock and looked at Ye Chuan in disbelief as he if he was looking at a ghost. Ye Chuan moved backwards a few steps in succession and currently appeared somewhat in a pitiful state but there was still no injuries on his body. When a thousand pounds hangs by a thread and imminent danger was closing in, Ye Chuan actually brandished the dark and swarthy broom in his hand and blocked Nan Tiandu¡¯s sword. All the inner disciples in the sect knew that the sword within Nan Tiandu¡¯s hands was not ordinary at all. The sword that Nan Tiandu was using was actually 800 jin black engraved heavy sword. On the sword, there were a few ancient inscriptions engraved on it. This sword which could not be held up by ordinary people was actually a treasure item which was chosen by Nan Tiandu in Weaponry Pavilion when he was at the age of 8 years old. The heavy sword had no sharp edge and relied on its astonishing weight to kill the enemy. With a smack of the sword, even a ten thousand years old yao beast would be smacked into minced meat sauce. How did Ye Chuan even block the sword? An insignificant broom that was left on the ground which no one wants had actually blocked Nan Tiandu¡¯s black engraved heavy sword. If this was spoken out, who would even believe it at all? Of course no one would believe it, but the fact had already been exhibited in front of the disciples, letting the disciples have no choice but to believe it was true! ¡°Once the talisman completes, with just a thought, the heaven would be swallowed¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and on his face, there was an additional smear of luster. This second sword stab by Nan Tiandu was indeed stronger and fiercer but fortunately, the half formed Heaven Swallowing Talisman within Ye Chuan¡¯s body indeed did not let him be disappointed. Just revolving the Heaven Swallowing Talisman, a frantic power immediately erupted out. This was merely a half formed talisman too. Once the Heaven Swallowing Talisman had been fully condensed and formed, how strong would Ye Chuan¡¯s body even be? Ye Chuan who had once concealed the heaven with his hands had for the first time discovered that the Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique was indeed far more profound than all the techniques he had known and was filled with anticipation towards the new path of his cultivation. Jin Hua who was standing in the crowd had a face of disbelief and disappointment. In order to request the sect¡¯s genius Nan Tiandu to settle Ye Chuan, he and advisor He Taixu had spent quite a large price. He had thought that he would be able to see how Ye Chuan beg for his life but to still die in the end with his own eyes. But who would have thought that the scenario that would be unfolding would actually be so different? Was Ye Chuan too strong and had been concealing his cultivation in the past or was it that Nan Tiandu had secretly went easy on Ye Chuan? Jin Hua was starting to get anxious already and wished that he could go and kill Ye Chuan with his own hands. After all the planning and price he had paid, if all these were still not able to kill Ye Chuan, he would really want to spit out blood soon already. ¡°Good! As expected of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you indeed have some capability. Come again! I have a sword technique which is known as Heaven Shaking Sword, I just request Big Senior Apprentice-Brother to point out some directions for me!¡± Nan Tiandu¡¯s expression was ice-cold as he once again took a step forward with overwhelming murderous aura. But this time, Nan Tiandu did not rush to attack Ye Chuan and instead submerged his shoulder as he slightly bent his body backwards. The black engraved heavy sword in his hands started to make out buzzing sounds and the ancient inscriptions which was engraved on the sword started to light up one by one. Within the air, an ancient killing aura and strength fluctuation which was getting denser and denser started to ripple out Heaven Shaking Nine Swords? Ye Chuan was astonished and his face started to get truly serious as he looked at Nan Tiandu who was currently accumulating power into his next move. Being someone who had once been Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan of course knew the might of Heaven Shaking Nine Swords. Thousands of millions of years ago, Heaven Shaking Nine Swords was a technique which belonged to an expert which was known as Heaven Shaking Great Sage. During the flourishing period of Wilderness World where Ye Chuan had dominated the world, Heaven Shaking Great Sage was the same as other experts and had once come to challenge Ye Chuan. The two of them fought at Heaven Concealing Peak for 3 days 3 nights and in the end, Heaven Shaking Great Sage lost and from then on disappeared. After that, no one in Wilderness World had seen the trace of Heaven Shaking Great Sage anymore. The old memories rushed forth like tide towards Ye Chuan¡¯s mind as the battle during that time was still vivid in his mind. Originally, Ye Chuan thought that after Heaven Shaking Great Sage lost to him, Heaven Shaking Great Sage had already went to the outside world and the two of them had no chance to meet again. Who would have thought that after thousands of millions years, he would still see be able to see Heaven Shaking Great Sage¡¯s technique once again here. The murderous aura and power fluctuation in the air turned more and more majestic and the disciples who were watching retreat further backward once again and only after withdrawing a kilometer away then did they start to look over while feeling terrified. Nan Tiandu did not attack for quite a few moments but everyone knew that Nan Tiandu¡¯s next attack would definitely be earth-shattering this time. If they were to get involved in the battle¡¯s aftermath, maybe even they themselves would suffer from heavy injuries. ¡°Good! This should be the style that a millennium genius should have! Ye Chuan, this time you are dead for sure!¡± Jin Hua gritted his teeth. After feeling the frantic power within Nan Tiandu¡¯s body, Jin Hua then finally felt in ease and waited with anticipation to see how Ye Chuan was going to die. Chapter 14: When a flood encounters Dragon King’s Temple Chapter 14: When a flood encounters Dragon King¡¯s Temple The energy and strength within Nan Tiandu¡¯s body became more and more astonishing and not sure when, a whirlwind had started to appear on the outside of Nan Tiandu¡¯s body. Nan Tiandu had not even attacked with his sword and the dust had already started to fly around everywhere.The ancient inscriptions engraved on the sword started to shine as bright as a pearl and emitted out an ancient killing aura which gave others a feeling of not able to prevail against it at all. With a sword in hand, even ordinary people could shake the heaven! Expert! This was indeed a real expert of sect¡¯s this generation, a millennium genius! Everyone was shocked and opened their eyes wide without blinking at all. Nan Tiandu who had cultivated by himself was already famous within the sect for a long time but Nan Tiandu¡¯s cultivation and strength was far stronger than everyone had anticipated. At this moment, when comparing any of the genius within the sect to Nan Tiandu, all of them were inferior to Nan Tiandu! ¡°Damned fatty, still aren¡¯t going quickly to invite Great Elder to come here?!¡± Zhu Sijia¡¯s face was filled with concern and anxiousness. This time, even idiots would be able to see that Nan Tiandu seriously had the intention to kill Ye Chuan already and it was not a matter of as simple as wanting to seize the position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother from Ye Chuan but to want to kill Ye Chuan with his sword technique this time. If no one was going to step out to prevent this, Ye Chuan was probably going to die at Purple Cloud Peak today. ¡°Buzz!¡± A high sword cry suddenly rang out and without waiting for Zhu Sijia who was hesitating to step out, Nan Tiandu had already released a fierce attack and threw himself towards Ye Chuan. Striking out with the sword in the air, a shadow of a dragon actually faintly appeared in the air as it opened its bloody mouth and whistled towards Ye Chuan. First stance of Heaven Shaking Nine Swords, Slaughter Dragon Hand! Nan Tiandu ferociously attacked without speaking a single word at all. With a strike of the sword, all the disciples who were watching from afar suddenly felt their body submerging as a heavy pressure rushed towards them which made them felt a formless might pressuring on their body. Even the elite disciples who were in Xiushi realm also suddenly felt that they were not able to move a single step at all for a while. Even the elite disciples who were in Xiushi realm had already felt like this. How was Ye Chuan who had only the cultivation of rank 5 Wuzhe going to block against this strike by Nan Tiandu? Everyone was alarmed and knew that the final moment had finally arrived. Fatty Zhao Dazhi had broken into a run and dashed to seek for help but a pity, it was all too late already. Ye Chuan¡¯s expression also suddenly changed. Although Nan Tiandu¡¯s cultivation was unable to compare to the cultivation of the former Heaven Shaking Great Sage but perhaps it was because of Nan Tiandu¡¯s innate talent, Ye Chuan suddenly vaguely felt like he was facing against Heaven Shaking Great Sage once again. Heaven Shaking Nine Swords technique actually appeared to have been made just for Nan Tiandu. With such a young age, Nan Tiandu was already able to unleash such a strong might with Heaven Shaking Nine Swords technique! Nan Tiandu¡¯s momentum was fierce and seeing that Ye Chuan was going to die tragically on the spot, everyone involuntarily cried out in fear. A rustic hoe suddenly appeared and with a ¡®ding¡¯ sound helped Ye Chuan blocked Nan Tiandu¡¯s sword strike. An old man who had a white beard whose hair was messy and face was dirty stood in the front of Ye Chuan and blew on his beard as he fiercely glared at Nan Tiandu, ¡°Damned brat, who gave you the permission to leave the mountain? To even dare to be impudent here too, has your wings grow hard already?¡± Who was this? To even dare to scold Nan Tiandu, this millennium genius, was he tired of living already? Everyone was dumbstruck and what followed subsequently was a scene that made everyone felt even more shock. Nan Tiandu who was usually incomparably arrogant that even dared to kill Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother in the front of everyone actually tossed away the black engraved heavy sword in his hand and kneeled down on the ground sincerely as if he was a kid who had done something wrong and was blushing red from shame, ¡°Disciple do not dare! Disciple request master to punish me for my crimes!¡± ¡°Humph! Where have you done wrong?¡± The old man lifted up his head up high and snorted. ¡°Disciple¡­ disciple should not have left the mountain without permission and should not¡­ should not have had the thought to kill Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan.¡± Nan Tiandu replied. Just now appearing insufferably arrogant but after seeing the old man, Nan Tiandu immediately was like a mouse who met till a cat. ¡°Wrong! Totally wrong!¡± The old man wiped away the soil on his face and scolded loudly at Nan Tiandu that even his saliva had directly sprayed onto Nan Tiandu¡¯s face, ¡°It is alright to leave the mountain. It is also alright to kill people like those garbage around here who are seizing the opportunity to jeer and watch the show.It is alright even if you kill thousand or hundreds of people like them but whatever you do, you should not have had the guts to dare to be impudent in front of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan! To be disrespectful towards Ye Chuan is the same as being disrespectful towards your master! Damned brat, still don¡¯t quickly apologize to your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother and ask for forgiveness?¡± The old man¡¯s words shocked everyone who was currently around watching the show and everyone subconsciously took a step backward. The old man looked around everywhere and at this moment then did everyone clearly saw who the old man was. The old man was not anyone but was exactly the sect¡¯s Second Elder who was famous for having the hobby to grow medicinal herbs. Also not sure what Second Elder had done, Second Elder had actually made till his clothes were ragged and his appearance appearing messy, appearing to be just like a beggar. Nan Tiandu lifted up his head to take a look at Second Elder who was cursing at him profusely and then took a look at Ye Chuan who almost died in his hands, his face appeared to be hesitating. Just when everyone thought that Nan Tiandu was going to disobey Second Elder, Nan Tiandu walked to the front of Ye Chuan and respectfully bowed, ¡°Please receive a bow from Nan Tiandu. Tiandu was wrong, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother please forgive me!¡± Nan Tiandu was deadly earnest and sincerely apologized to Ye Chuan. If Second Elder told him to go east, he would absolutely not dare to go west. Nan Tiandu who was usually proud and arrogant, not placing anyone in his eyes at all was actually docile and obedient towards Second Elder. In the eyes of everyone, Nan Tiandu had always been a weirdo for cultivating alone and not pay attention to the affairs of life right after joining the sect. What everyone did not know was that Second Elder was not only Nan Tiandu¡¯s master but was actually also his life benefactor and someone who taught him how to cultivate. Several years ago when Nan Tiandu¡¯s family was killed by his family¡¯s enemies and when his whole family was killed, it was actually Second Elder who was just passing by who saved him. Second Elder saving his life was something that Nan Tiandu would not be able to forget in his entire life. Both of them are known as master and disciple but the actual fact was that they were both just like father and son. Nan Tiandu¡¯s heart had already long before considered Second Elder as his father and thus naturally would not dare to disobey Second Elder¡¯s words at all. Although Nan Tiandu had always had Second Elder as his supporter, he had never display ostentatiously in the sect at all and relied on his own comprehension and great effort to cultivate, not like Jin Hua who ran amuck all around in the sect. ¡°Hahaha! Good, good! You can stand up already. Second Elder, you have taken in a great disciple.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and personally went forward to support up Nan Tiandu as he laughed heartily. The harvest and things that happened today had truly let Ye Chuan felt somewhat unexpected. Nan Tiandu¡¯s strength had even made Ye Chuan felt astonished. If Nan Tiandu was to continue cultivating like this, before long Nan Tiandu would be another Heaven Shaking Great Sage, also maybe even stronger too. What made Ye Chuan felt even more unexpected was that a genius like this was actually Second Elder¡¯s disciple. Relying on his relationship with Second Elder, wouldn¡¯t he suddenly have an exceedingly strong assistance by his side? ¡°Hey, hey. Ye Chuan, the medicinal liquid which is used on the water lily have already been used up and also, the method you said to improve the medicinal spirit formation, you see, when can you ¡­¡± Second Elder laughed and looked anxiously at Ye Chuan. To shout and curse in the front of Nan Tiandu but in the front of Ye Chuan, he did not care about his status as Second Elder at all and flaunt towards Ye Chuan, not having the single bit of the manner that an elder should have at all. ¡°Here, take it. I have recorded all the methods on it. Take it and try out the methods first, you can come and find me if you have any questions about it.¡± Ye Chuan took out a thin sheepskin and generously handed it over to Second Elder. On the sheepskin, methods of how to refine some medicinal liquid were recorded on it and what was even more important was that it also recorded the methods and secrets on how to make amends to the numerous defects in the sect¡¯s medicinal spirit formation. ¡°Tiandu, you stay and protect Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. If anyone dares to be unfavorable towards Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, beat that person up till he dies.¡± Second Elder took the sheepskin from Ye Chuan and as if had gained the most precious treasure, he started to immediately diligently tend to his matters. Within his eyes, it now all depends on Ye Chuan whether if he could bring his medicinal herbs which were all on the verge dying back to life. ¡°How did it become like this? Impossible, impossible¡­¡± Seeing that Ye Chuan had gotten in good terms with the insufferably arrogant Nan Tiandu in the blink of an eye, Jin Hua rubbed his eyes in disbelief as he cried out involuntarily, his heart feeling like he was going to spit out blood any moment soon. Such a good scheme which seemed like it was about to succeed actually turned dramatically in the end made him felt insufferably frustrated. Previously, all his schemes that were planned by him were all successful, but right now, ever since Ye Chuan had come back from God Burial Valley, no matter what kind of schemes he had planned, it all made him had the feeling of spitting out blood. ¡°Nothing is impossible. Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, I trust you have been well since we last met!¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s mouth curled up evilly and smiled as he walked towards Jin Hua who was standing behind the crowd. One scheme finishes and another scheme comes, it was indeed time to give some lesson to this Jin Hua already. Seeing that the situation was looking bad, advisor He Taixu quickly grabbed onto Jin Hua¡¯s shoulder and wanted to pull him and leave immediately. But to his surprise, just when Jin Hua and advisor He Taixu turned their body and prepared to leave, they discovered that the millennium genius Nan Tiandu had already blocked their way out before they knew it. Chapter 15: Stand Impressively Chapter 15: Stand Impressively The strength of Nan Tiandu was obvious to all, both of them feared that they were not his match, so Jin Hua and He Taixu were helpless without anywhere to go. After that turning around and looking at approaching Ye Chuan, they became tense. ¡°It was not easy to come here, so why are you two in such hurry to leave, am I, Ye Chuan so scary?¡± Ye Chuan walked over with a smile on his face. Right now he had a harmless smile on his face, as if he was not angry at all. But in the eyes of Jin Hua and Adviser He Taixu, that harmless smile however was terrifying than anything else. The more brilliant the smile of Ye Chuan was, that more tense and restless the heart of these two got. The current Ye Chuan was no longer that cowardly and timid Ye Chuan of before who would let anyone bully him without resisting, but gave people an unfathomable feeling. ¡°You¡­¡­, what do you want to do?¡± The complexion of Jin Hua become rather pale. Seeing increasingly getting closer Ye Chuan, he tried to force himself to calm down, but don¡¯t know why, he involuntarily got even more nervous. Alchemy Hall¡¯s elite disciple, only son of the Hall Master, and a Rank two Xiushi expert, was unexpectedly forced to this appearance by Ye Chuan, this name only Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. Just thinking about the lost face, how would he mingle with others hereafter? The heart of Jin Hua was restless, and with everybody watching, he again lost control of his feeling in embarrassment. ¡°Heh heh, what do I want to do? Why don¡¯t you say it yourself?¡± Ye Chuan grinned, and continued to slowly walk forward, while raising that God Beating Whip in his hand, ¡°Why did the junior apprentice brother suddenly came to Purple Cloud Peak and challenge me to a battle, you two should clearly know the reason, isn¡¯t that so? Sowing dissension, doesn¡¯t this count as a serious felony? Not having rules won¡¯t do, and not teaching you all, these junior apprentice brothers and sisters is I, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother neglecting my duty.¡± ¡°Brat, slow down, even if you think we have done something wrong here, that ought to be handled by the Punishment Hall, so what do you want to do?¡± He Taixu immediately raise the name of Punishment Hall. The top priority now was to leave Purple Cloud Peak. As long as they could successfully descend this hill, with the identity of Jin Hua of being the noble son of Alchemy Hall Master, it would be easy to handle. ¡°Sect have sect¡¯s rules and regulation, and I, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother also have the laws of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. Under my law, defying superiors will get them buttocks spanking from my, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡¯s hand.¡± Ye Chuan said without batting an eyelid. From the start, he had never paid any attention to the words of Adviser He Taixu. Jin Hua and Adviser He Taixu immediately understood that Ye Chuan would not drop this matter easily. Suddenly turning around, they wanted to forcibly break out from the encirclement. One to the left and other to the right, they swept past Nan Taindu. But to their surprise, the instant they brush past him, both of them were knocked down to the ground by Nan Taindu. Even with his Rank two Xiushi level strength, Jin Hua unexpectedly wasn¡¯t even able to see the movement of Nan Tiandu. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Taindu, well done. Now help me pull down the pants of these two. Today I, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother want to carry out the punishment in the presence of everyone. Sect Master is not here, and sect¡¯s public morals are degenerating with each passing day, so if I don¡¯t govern them properly, then some people will really become absolutely lawless. Ai, as sect¡¯s eldest disciple, I have no choice ah¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and faintly sighed. Right now he had the appearance of having no choice but to punish Jin Hua, this silkpants in public. Nan Taindu didn¡¯t say a word, but his movement nevertheless was direct and efficient. He seriously pulled down the pants of Jin Hua and Adviser He Taixu in public. The body of two people was still numb, and were basically powerless to resist. Suddenly, two shining white buttocks laid bare in front of public eyes. Apprentice sisters among onlookers screamed, and rather felt embarrassed to watch this, but apprentice brothers among onlookers however were full of expectation. Each and every one of them had their eyes wide open and were waiting for the drama to unfold. The person with discerning eyes were able to see that this incident was provoked by this silkpants Jin Hua. Sowing discord so that Nan Taindu would leave the mountain and deal with Ye Chuan, so that he could take the position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother from him. But now, his scheme failed, instead crushed his own foot while trying to maneuver a rock. All the people understood the entire process of this matter. But what made them truly excited was, would Ye Chuan truly dare to raise his hand? Who was Jin Hua? He was a silkpants with golden spoon in his moth since birth, was only son of Alchemy Hall Master. Rumors says that, he was rather appreciated by Third Elder too, and was expected to inherit the latter¡¯s legacy. Although Ye Chuan was disciple of Sect Master, and was also the Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of the sect, but his power and influence within sect were always too shallow, moreover Sect Master also hadn¡¯t return back for a long time. So even the ordinary disciples would bully him. Every five days, large crowd of people would line up to challenge him for a battle. And compared to tyrannizing Jin Hua, his status was very far away. Now although Ye Chuan saw through the scheme of Jin Hua, but would he really dare to raise hand against the latter? Could it be that he was not afraid of the retaliation and anger of Alchemy Hall Master? Everyone was doubtful in their heart, and were taking the position of wait and see. Ye Chuan however was not thinking anything, he decisively raised his hand¡¯s God Beating Whip. Today, he wanted to whip these two fellows in the public, seizing the chance to stand impressively. ¡°Brat, you dare?¡± Jin Hua was frightened and was also angry. Having his pants down in public was already enough for him to lose face. If Ye Chuan truly whipped him in pubic, and leave behind scar in his shining white buttocks, then afterwards, where would he put his face? ¡°Actually, I also don¡¯t want this.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and put down his hand¡¯s broom. The onlookers whispered among themselves feeling rather disappointed. Ye Chuan seemed bold and decisive in action, but unfortunately, at the last moment he still didn¡¯t dare to really strike. In the middle of the crowd, only Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t utter a word, she continued to wait expectantly. Only she knew, Ye Chuan not only dare to hit, but would also dare to resolutely strike in public. He dared to hit even her own pert buttocks, so there was nothing Ye Chuan not dare to not do. Sure enough, just when Jin Hua and Adviser He Taixu inwardly relaxed, thinking they had dodged the calamity, Ye Chuan suddenly laughed coldly. Suddenly he raised his hand¡¯s God Beating Whip and ruthlessly lashed downward. ¡®Pa¡¯ sound resounded, then Jin Hua gave out a blood-curdling scream as if butchered pig, and felt so grieved that he wished he was dead. The physical defense he was so proud of in former days was simply useless in front of that swarthy broom. ¡°This lash is on behalf of Second Elder for stepping on those medical herbs.¡± Ye Chuan coldly said, then without thinking twice, he again raised his hand¡¯s God Beating Whip, then swung downward. ¡®Pa¡¯ sound resounded again, and one more bloody scar appeared on the shining white buttocks of Jin Hua. ¡°This lash is on behalf of Sect Master, for going against superior. And sowing discord, isn¡¯t this a serious felony? Spanking is already a lightest punishment.¡± Ye Chuan again raised his hand and swung down. Merely after three lashes, rank two Xiushi Jin Hua lost consciousness in pain. Precisely speaking one half was pain and other half was embarrassment and anger. Getting beaten this violently, he is finished! Later, even if Jin Hua thought of a way to ruthlessly take revenge against Ye Chuan, or even killed him, this matter of today would become the object of ridicule, enough to shame him throughout his life. Hearing the tragic cry of Jin Hua, cold sweat drenched the back of Adviser He Taixu, fortunately God Beating Whip didn¡¯t fell on his own body. But too bad, he was gratified for only a short moment, as a burst of unbearable severe pain came through his buttocks. Now it was his turn to taste the power of God Beating Whip. The tragic cry of both master and servant resounded in the sky of Purple Cloud Peak taking turns. Witnessing miserable plight of these two tyrannizing fellows, everybody looked towards Ye Chuan with satisfaction and also a trace of fear. Hereafter, before wantonly ignoring the presence of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, they would definitely consider carefully. Chapter 16: Nightwalking Chapter 16: Nightwalking Now that he wanted to stand impressively, Ye Chuan acted without any lenient. After a violent beating, the shining white buttocks of both Jin Hua and Adviser He Taixu were drenched with blood without exception. Right now they were motionlessly lying on the ground. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Tiandu, see our guests out!¡± Ye Chuan looked around, then instructed in a cold voice. After that turning around, he entered Purple Cloud Courtyard without taking a single glance at this silkpants Jin Hua. Afterwards, Nan Tiandu bowed accepting the order. Then carrying bloody Jin Hua and He Taixu in each hand, he dashed out, and directly tossed out these two fellows who didn¡¯t have any power to even move to the foot of the hill. ¡°Bra¡­t, I¡­¡­will absolutely not let you go¡­.¡± Jin Hua gnashed his teeth and said in a hoarse voice. After getting beaten on his buttocks until it split in public like this, he as an aloof and remote elite disciple of Alchemy Hall completely lost his face. Right now the hatred towards Ye Chuan was getting more and more vigorous as if raging flame. He secretly vowed, if I couldn¡¯t grind Ye Chuan¡¯s bones and scatter his ashes, then I am not a human. ¡°The matter has gotten big, quickly run!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think it is possible to completely recover from that injuries of Jin Hua within ten or fifteen days, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother truly was daring. It seems, sect will have a change of weather¡­¡­¡± People dispersed in confusion, no one dared to stay in Purple Cloud Peak. This violent beating of Ye Chuan was bound to raise terrifying waves within the sect, which would even affect the overall situation within the entire sect. Jin Hua and his father Alchemy Grand Master certainly will not let this matter drop. Next, it would be putting pressure on Punishment Hall to catch Ye Chuan and throw him into the prison, or directly carry out large scale retaliation, or first removing Ye Chuan from the position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. People didn¡¯t dare to guess, and hurriedly ran away. Even Zhu Sijia was similarly running down the hill along with Fatty Zhao Dazhi. Turning around her head, she took a quick look towards antique Purple Cloud Courtyard, and her complexion became solemn. After that pondering for a moment, she went straight towards the peak where her grandfather cultivated. Right now the first thing she wanted to do was to tell her grandfather about this matter so that he could make a plan early as a Great Elder. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother truly has big courage, really daring to take action, still concentrating on buttocks spanking, even Jiajia¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi didn¡¯t think much, and from behind Zhu Sijia, while touching his own buttocks, he whispered. Originally, he had believed that he was beaten ruthlessly enough, as he was unable to place down his buttocks for many days. But after witnessing today¡¯s bloody buttocks of silkpants Jin Hua, he clearly understood that Ye Chuan had shown him mercy. And shooting a glance at Zhu Sijia¡¯s swinging pert buttocks in front of him, he unconsciously made a slip of a tongue, but he hastily shut his mouth. The most taboo thing to speak in front of the latter was mentioning about that evening¡¯s matter of her buttocks spanked by Ye Chuan. If she heard it, then he was done for. Sure enough, Zhu Sijia suddenly turned around, then with her beautiful face covered with a layer of cold frost, she said, ¡°Damned fatty, what did you say?¡± ¡°I said nothing.¡± Fatty hastily shook his head. Seeing Zhu Sijia was glaring at him, he hastily changed the topic, ¡°I¡­¡­, what I mean is, fortunately it was not my buttocks that was beaten by Big Senior Apprentice-Brother this time. No, not, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, he is abnormally concentrated on buttocks spanking of other people. Eh, also not, I¡­¡­, ah, Jiajia, my ear, gently, gently¡­¡­¡± Beads of sweats appeared on the forehead of fatty, and began stuttering getting more and more nervous to only make the matter worse. Before he could completely gave his explanation, he suddenly gave out a blood-curdling scream as if slaughtered pig, as his ear was twisted by Zho Sijia. ¡°I¡¯m not going, Ye Chuan. that brat is so hateful, so why on earth do I have to go and look for grandfather to help him? Humph, humph¡­¡­¡± While putting forth her effort to twist the ear of fatty, Zhu Sijia recalled how Ye Chuan had spanked her pert buttocks, so she got embarrassed as well as angry, then gritting her pearly white teeth, she stomped on the ground. But after snorting few times, she still dashed towards the mountain peak of her grandfather to inform him about this matter. Ye Chuan was Sect Master¡¯s disciple, but right now Sect Master was not here, so he had already fallen into disgrace and was Big Senior Apprentice-Brother only in name but not in reality. This time he attracted this kind of disaster upon himself, so if her grandfather didn¡¯t appear personally to help him, then he was screwed. ¡°Jiajia, since that Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is so hateful, then why do you want to help him?¡± ¡°Humph, who wants to help him? Great aunt here is only worried that he will die too fast. This great aunt only wants to slowly retaliate, making him know this great aunt¡¯s power!¡± ¡°Yes yes yes, want to slowly retaliate, aiyo, Jiajia, gently!¡± ¡­¡­. With the cold wind, the voice of Zhu Sijia and Fatty Zhao Dazhi came through, while these two people rapidly went further away. Despite being angry, she don¡¯t know why but she didn¡¯t want to look on with folded arms. On the high hilltop, looking at the back view of Zhu Sijia and fatty, Ye Chuan lightly smiled. After that jumping from one treetop to another, he made a lap around. After that he checked the various kind of medicine liquid blended by Second Elder, then returning back to his study, he sat cross-legged and began mediation. Breaking through Rank five Wuzhe and entering Rank six, this was an extremely important bottleneck within Wuzhe realm. Lots of people stuck in this bottleneck for their lifetime, never being able to change qualitatively to enter into Rank one Xiusi. Ye Chuan had slowed down his cultivating speed deliberately, as he didn¡¯t wanted to quickly break through this bottleneck. What he wanted was not speed, rather solid foundation. He wanted to cultivate every realm steadily to its pinnacle. But after mediating for only few hours, don¡¯t know why, but he was unable to calm down his heart, as, time and time again, a burst palpitation appeared. ¡°Heart Devil wants to come? Or¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan frowned, and thought for a while, then no longer forced himself to cultivate, rather took out the Cyan Lotus Lamp from within his body. Unknowingly the sky had already turned dark, and the study inside was also dark. Only this Cyan Lotus Lamp was emitting dim rays of light inside the study. This rays of light were not dazzling, and was just like a small dim oil lamp, but shining upon the body would make people feel tranquil and even-tempered. Yu Chuan gently caressed Cyan Lotus Lamp¡¯s inscription. This lamp was not only a treasure oil lamp he had found inside God Burial Valley, but was also something that represents a part of his history and memory. Without this small oil lamp, perhaps he might have already died within God Burial Valley. Looking from the outside, Cyan Lotus Lamp didn¡¯t have much difference compared to commonplace oil lamp, but Ye Chuan had a kind of intuition that this was a hard to come by treasure of ancient time. There were still many mysterious places that were needed to slowly explore and understand. Everything that were buried within God Burial Valley were all ancient times¡¯ God and Demons possessing great power. The might of Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique was alarming, so this Cyan Lotus Lamp he had similarly obtained inside the tomb was definitely also not simple. ¡°Lamp exist soul exist, lamp extinguish soul extinguish¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered, while sitting cross-legged on the ground motionlessly. Slowly, a faint shadow began to come out from the top of his head, this was his spirit. Then turning around, it slowly floated outside. Yin Spirit Nightwalking! Under the cover of Cyan Lotus Lamp, Ye Chuan fully used a secret art to let out his spirit from his body, planning to find out what exactly was making him feel ill at ease. The Wuzhe realm cultivates one¡¯s body, i.e. refining skin, refining flesh, refining muscles, refining bones, refining bone marrow, refining internal organs and refining blood. Every rank of this seven rank of Wuzhe realm strengthen the body. So usually, only after stepping into Xiushi realm, one could cultivate all kinds of remarkable abilities. But as a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan was different, he knew certain unique secret arts, which could let even Wuzhe realm cultivators to let out their spirit from their body. This secret art was very mysterious, but was also very dangerous as a single carelessness could cause his soul to fly away and scatter. Even if he didn¡¯t encounter any yao, once this Cyan Lotus Lamp got extinguished and his spirit still hadn¡¯t returned, then he would change into a living corpse without conscious. Chapter 17: Must Endure Chapter 17: Must Endure Whoosh! In the pitch-black night, cold wind blew, and every kinds of animal roared. After his spirit came out, Ye Chuan immediately sensed extreme danger in the darkness. If his cultivation was at Xiushi realm, then he could have at least a little bit easily let out his spirit, and even if he encountered any danger outside, then he would have certain self-protection ability. But now, his weak spirit was in incalculable danger just like an infant who didn¡¯t know how to swim but had suddenly fallen into the ocean. Now even a slightest bit of carelessness would be beyond redemption. Instantly, at that time, the restless spirit of Ye Chuan wanted to fly away and scatter then and there. But exactly at that time, a continuous warm light shone over him, making Ye Chuan feel a hint of warmth, and soon after that, his spirit slowly stabilized. The Cyan Lotus Lamp inside his room displayed its mysterious side. Ye Chuan scanned all around for a while and discerned the direction. After that summoning his courage, his spirit continued to drift outside with Cyan Lots Lamp as a guidepost. As long as he could still interact with this small oil lamp, his spirit wouldn¡¯t lost its way in this darkness. Distant north, in Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s rear mountain, Yang Qi was soaring, which was accompanied by a danger which was hard to state clearly. That was precisely the location of Evil Dragon Abyss. And he don¡¯t know why, but he furthermore faintly sensed a familiar aura there. East, from the direction where Black Cauldron Sect was located, baleful qi was surging with as if earth-shattering momentum. And finally going all the way to the south, there was boundless ocean. All kind of auras and powers were mixed there. Ye Chuan floated to one side while sensing the circumstance of all side, slowly realizing the matters. Making his heart to feel ill at ease and unable to calm down so that he could cultivate was not that unfathomable Evil Dragon Abyss, but was precisely the baleful qi coming from the direction of the east¡¯s Black Cauldron Sect. This baleful qi was colorless and formless, so it was invisible to eyes, only the spirit which had come out from their body would have the ability to sense it. ¡°Very dense baleful qi, strange, could it be that Black Cauldron Sect wants to carry out large scale invasion?¡± Ye Chuan was shocked inwardly, and didn¡¯t dare to approach too close to the east¡¯s baleful qi. The more the baleful qi was concentrated, that easier it was to attract all kinds of evil spirits. And his spirit was great tonic for them. In the deep within the night, the wind got colder and colder. This vast and obscure night was just like a dangerous ocean to the spirit of Ye Chuan. In this ocean, he indistinctly sensed few familiar existence. Nan Taindu was sitting cross-legged while continuously guarding the entrance, heeding the instruction of Second Elder. Zhu Sijia alone was living in another mountain peak, and her aura was even, don¡¯t know whether she was cultivating or resting. Beauty falling asleep, what kind of scenery it ought to be? Thinking about Zhu Sijia¡¯s hot figure and pert buttocks, Ye Chuan evilly smiled while having an idea to let his spirit drift to her resident and secretly peep on her. But this idea was only a thought. After that staying for a while, his spirit floated towards another mountain peak. Inside the palace of this mountain peak, he sensed familiar sinister aura, naturally was the aura of silkpants Jin Hua. Inside a brightly lit palace, Jin Hua and Adviser He Taixu were lying on their stomach on the ground, and on the highest position, a hawk nosed middle-aged man was sitting upright. ¡°Father, your child is very miserable, you have to help me avenge myself ah, father¡­¡­¡± Deep in the night, the tears of Jin Hua was still flowing out due to pain. He wanted his father to help him to avenge himself. Without killing Ye Chuan, he would not be able to face other people, as the hatred towards Ye Chuan had already etched in his memory. Only it¡¯s too bad, even though he was crying with his face covered in tears, Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun who was sitting upright however didn¡¯t utter a word, merely was gloomy and solemn. ¡°Father, your son was humiliated like this in public, so why are you still not taking justice for me? Mother died early, so with no-one else left to love me, I will also not live any longer¡­¡­¡± Jin Hua cried and caused a commotion. Without killing Ye Chuan, he would not be able to settle his heart¡¯s anger. ¡°Today, Ye Chuan, that brat beat me. Tomorrow, perhaps he might beat other people of Alchemy Hall, and also might become absolutely lawless relying on his statues of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. He cursed me, said I am just a bastard nobody had disciplined. Moreover he even said that my father, you are also a bastard that have monopolized Alchemy Hall and acted wilfully. Father, can you endure all this? ¡°What, did Ye Chuan really said that?¡± Jin Zhikun finally opened his mouth, while his eyes flashing with pallid light. He already wasn¡¯t able to endure his son getting beaten publically like that, so how could he endure someone prying into his hand¡¯s authority. ¡°Yes, Ye Chuan, that brat really said that. Also precisely because of that, your son was ruthlessly beaten by him in public. Father, you must help me to take justice ah, father¡­¡­¡±Jin Hua opened his mouth and talked nonsense. He spoke incoherently in order to avenge himself. Now he cared about nothing but revenge. ¡°Humph, this brat is merely a name only Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of my sect. Fine, I will remove him from that position.¡± Jin Zhikun coldly snorted, and stood with overcast complexion. ¡°No, father, just removing him from the position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother and expelling from the sect are not enough, we should directly kill him. The position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is mine, and that Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal within the body of that brat Ye Chuan is also mine¡­¡­.¡± Jin Hua loudly shouted. Just expelling Ye Chuan from the sect was far from being sufficient to calm down his heart¡¯s anger and hatred. ¡°Wait for me in the house, do not go out and make a fool out of yourself for me, I will go to look for Third Elder, and come back quickly!¡± Jin Zhikun didn¡¯t express his opinion, just walked out in large strides. If he wanted to remove the status Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Ye Chuan, then his influence alone was not enough, so he wanted to find Third Elder who was his backstage backer. ¡°Heh heh, Ye Chuan, you are dead, now I will see how you will still act wild?¡± Looking at his distant back view of his father, Jin Hua finally relaxed, while grinning hideously. ¡°Young Master is so wise!¡± Adviser He Taixu took the opportunity to lick Jin Hua¡¯s boots. Now that Alchemy Hall Master himself was taking action, this time, it would be difficult for Ye Chuan to escape death. But what these people failed to notice was, don¡¯t know when, the ill wind was blowing outside. The spirit of Ye Chuan had come outside, and secretly heard everything clearly. ¡°Some people really don¡¯t shed a tear until they sees their coffin.¡± Looking at this Jun Hua who didn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth and acting recklessly, Ye Chuan coldly smiled. Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun quickly returned back as quickly as he had went out. Merely, his complexion was even gloomier, and his face was blackened as if black ink was about to flow out. After that he sat in the audience hall for a long time without any words, creating a stifling atmosphere. ¡°Father, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Jin Hua cautiously asked. Seeing his father like this, he instinctively felt that the matter was anything but reassuring. ¡°Latest news, Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master is personally coming here tomorrow to propose a marriage alliance to Great Elder. He wants his daughter to marry Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother to form an alliance by marriage.¡± Jin Zhikun said with calm face, but his right hand was exerting strength on the armrest of his big chair. And with a ¡®pa¡¯ sound, it fell apart. ¡°What?¡± Jing Hua cried out in alarm. Forming an alliance by marriage!? If Ye Chuan marries the daughter of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master, then wouldn¡¯t the status Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Ye Chuan completely stabilize? Furthermore who would dare to act against him after that? Meat pie fell from the sky ah! Such a good thing, why did it didn¡¯t happen to him, and all of the good things fell in the hand of Ye Chuan, that brat? Jin Hua impatiently opened his mouth while feeling jealous inwardly, ¡°This won¡¯t do, father, if we let this marriage get successful, the what about our revenge?¡± ¡°Humph, forget about revenge, Third Elder instructed us to endure, we have to endure. Not only we can¡¯t take revenge, from tomorrow on, you have accompany Ye Chuan with a smiling face. Early morning tomorrow, go to Purple Cloud Peak, and offer a humble apology.¡± Jin Zhikun spoke angrily with overcast complexion. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Jin Hua again cried out in fear, and truly wanted to spat blood inside his heart. After he was violently beaten in public, no need to mention about venting his anger, but he had to accompany Ye Chuan with a smiling face and furthermore offer a humble apology, wasn¡¯t this too mean? ¡°This is not your father words, but the order from Third Elder, so you must follow it.¡± Jin Zhikun decisively said to Jin Hua. After that, he took out a crystal bottle from his bosom. Inside that bottle, there was a drop of transparent liquid. ¡°But, Hua¡¯er, you can rest assured, we¡¯ll definitely make Ye Chuan, that brat taste a great suffering. Tomorrow, you go to Purple Cloud Peak and offer a humble apology. At that time, look for an opportunity to mix this drop of Breaking Yang Water into the wine and make Ye Chuan drink it. Heh heh, Breaking Yang Water ah, after drinking this, he will not be able to do the matter between adult man and woman. And at that time, I will see how that brat will marry, and how will they form alliance by marriage!¡± ¡°Father, you are saying¡­¡­¡± Dejected Jin Hua suddenly saw light before him. ¡°On the surface, we can¡¯t take revenge, instead we have to endure and have to accompany him with a smiling face to make a good relation. But secretly, we naturally cannot let this marriage go smoothly. Rest assured, we don¡¯t need to endure for a long time. After Third Elder thoroughly took over the control of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s authority and make Great Elder mere figurehead, our good days will come. And at that time, we can crush Ye Chuan, that brat to death like crushing an ant.¡± Jin Zhikun coldly smiled. ¡°Good, endure, I will endure!¡± Jin Hua nodded his head, and took that colorless and tasteless Breaking Yang Water. Thinking of the scene of how Ye Chuan would be helpless in his wedding night and him being driven out of the room by the bride, Jin Hua laughed. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± The ears of Jin Zhikun suddenly pricked up slightly, then shouting in a stern voice, he instantly rushed outside leaving behind afterimages, and his big hand caught towards the empty air releasing Yang Qi, causing even the air itself to distort. Unfortunately, he caught empty air, and looking around, he didn¡¯t see anything unusual, only cold wind blew over, ¡°Eh, Yin Spirit Nightwalking? Who is so daring, this kind of skill¡­¡­¡± Jin Zhikun muttered to himself, and with his eyes shining, that majestic face of Great Elder appeared inside his mind. After that he felt invisible pressure, and understood that the plan of his and Third Elder must be accelerated, in other to avoid any changes that might occur. Chapter 18: Accept deferentially than to decline courteously Chapter 18: Accept deferentially than to decline courteously Late at night, Purple Cloud Peak. The spirit of Ye Chuan sweep past towards Purple Cloud Peak while staggering from side to side. And ill wind that was blowing at this moment caused his entire spirit to thoroughly get ice-cold, and this cold wind that was blowing seemingly wanted to sweep his spirit away, making him sink into vice and get lost in boundless darkness forever. The spirit of Ye Chuan was injured, and the injury was not light. At that time, relying on his secret magic art, he had narrowly escaped the attack of Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun. But the latter suddenly released surging Yang Qi, heavily injuring his spirit, and giving him burning pain as if raging flames had burned him. If he was even a step too late, then the consequence would have been too dreadful to contemplate. The cold wind whistled, and in the second half of the night, the wind got bigger and also got colder. And from a distant place, the roaring sound of yao beasts frequently came, making people feel jumpy. Ye Chuan finally reached halfway to the top of the hill with great difficulty. Afterwards, his speed became increasingly slower, and every step he took consumed large amount of his effort. Far away in the horizon, the aura that would make the heart of people to feel jumpy came through, that was precisely the aura of the evil spirit that loved to eat spirits. Reacting to the existence of Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit, they were rushing towards him from all around. Just at that time, a continuous warm light came down from the hilltop shining upon his spirit. This warm light was very faint and was very tiny, but it quickly made Ye Chuan to feel warmth, and his vigor rose with force and spirit. After that his spirit was able to discern the direction of Purple Cloud Courtyard in the middle of this thick darkness, and return back to Purple Cloud Courtyard quickly. Just after returning to the study, his spirit and body fused together. And as for those evil spirits that specially like to eat spirits, they were a step too late and had just arrived outside the door along with the ill wind. After reluctantly lingering there for a while, they had no choice but to dissipate on their own accord. Lamp exist Soul exist, Lamp extinguish Soul extinguish! In God Burial Valley, together with Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique, he had obtained this Cyan Lotus Lamp. Right now this Cyan Lotus Lamp displayed its mysterious power, forcing those evil spirits outside the door to retreat. After sitting cross-legged in front of Cyan Lotus Lamp for a while, Ye Chuan felt his ice-cold arms and legs gradually warm up, and his injured spirit also felt more at ease. ¡°One¡¯s every movement having Yang Qi as if blade, good, what a Alchemy Hall Master, what a body refining expert!¡± Ye Chuan coldly smiled, while killing intent greatly flourished. In a Wilderness World, after cultivating to Rank 7 Wuzi, if one again achieve a breakthrough, then they would have a qualitative changes and enter into Xiusi realm, and no longer can be classified as mortal. But each powerful Xiusi were again different. Some Xiusi realm cultivators cultivates various kind of remarkable abilities, they were commonly referred to as Spirit Xiusi, and they possess great magical power; and some just like in Wuzhe realm continues to refine their body, muscles, bones and blood to reach the pinnacle, commonly referred to as Martial Xiusi. The entire body of Martial Xiusi seethe with Yang Qi, and nothing including spirit and ghost could invade them. And after breaking though and reaching Immortal realm, Spirit Xiusi would be known as Spirit Immortal, and Martial Xiusi would be known as Martial Immortal, representing two kind of completely different cultivation style. Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun was obviously Martial Xiushi specialized in body refining. And that Yang Qi surging within his body was specialized in restraining evil spirits and Yin spirits, so without any extra trouble, he nearly caught and scattered the spirit of Ye Chuan then and there. Suddenly in the darkness ¡®whoosh¡¯ sound resounded, and at an astonishing speed whistled towards him. Pursuing troops came so quickly? Ye Chuan was amazed inwardly, and suddenly opened his eyes. A golden light flashed, and with speed which was difficult to see with naked eyes broke into the room from the window. Ye Chuan hurriedly circulated Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body sparing no effort, and just when he was about to circulate secret art to counter attack, this golden light suddenly stopped. A little fellow appeared in the front and stopped on the arm of Ye Chuan. After that it familiarly patted its wings towards Ye Chuan, and a trace of interrelated as bones and flesh feeling rose in the mind of Ye Chuan. ¡°Eh, is this that mutated fly that I¡¯d refined? No, wrong, this is a¡­¡­, Wild Golden Cicada?¡± Ye Chuan exclaimed in surprise, while his mind began thinking rapidly. After carefully observing this little fellow that had landed on his palm for a while, Ye Chuan increasingly became surprise. That¡¯s right, this was certainly that small fly which he had tamed before by dripping a blood, and later had disappeared into Evil Dragon Abyss. But now the appearance of this little fellow was completely different from before. It had transformed into a Wild Golden Cicada, and its pair of golden wings was especially conspicuous. Fly was fly, even if it was mutated, its innate skill was limited, and was not worth training, but a Wild Golden Cicada was different. In ancient times, it was one kind of most powerful yao beast. Two wings Golden Cicada was more powerful than Rank 7 Wuzhe cultivator in strength. Transforming into four wings Golden Cicada, all Xiushi realm experts would flee at the mere sight of it. Transforming into six wings, eight wings and even legendary twelve wings Golden Cicada, they could run wild in this Wilderness World, turning into Great Sage of yao clan. Ye Chuan was overjoyed. He knew that that time even he had made an error of judgment. Also he didn¡¯t know whether all those flies packed in hills were the variety of Wild Golden Cicada or just that this Golden Cicada lived inside the body of that one fly, or it accidently transformed inside Evil Dragon Abyss? Although Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know the specific reason for the time being, but obtaining a powerful Wild Golden Cicada, this alone was undoubtedly an unexpected great harvest. Carefully observing for a while, Ye Chuan put away this Golden Cicada and Cyan Lotus Lamp. And to the surprise of Ye Chuan, this Golden Cicada no longer hid inside his dantian, rather changed into a golden light and entered into Cyan Lotus Lamp. Soon after that, on the body of lamp, a small Golden Cicada inscription appeared. ¡°Could it be that there is another world inside Cyan Lotus Lamp? Still what secrets are concealed within it?¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan shone for a moment, but unfortunately, now his spirit was still far away from being sufficiently strong, so he was unable to probe the secrets within this Cyan Lotus Lamp. Muttering to himself for a short while, he simply circulated his secret arts and poured the energy of Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal within his body into this Cyan Lotus Lamp. He had a premonition, after fusing enough energy, this small Cyan Lotus Lamp would give him a greater pleasant surprise. After that raising his head, he looked at the color of the sky outside through the window, then Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground, while calmly cultivating. This evening he had encountered very dangerous situation after using Yin Spirit Nightwalking, but also had unexpected gain. Not only did he understand his true enemy in Cloud Mist Sect, he also became aware of the dangerous situation. Moreover he got a powerful helper Golden Cicada. Nan Tiandu continuously guarded outside the door, while carrying out the instruction of Second Elder without any carelessness, but to go through crisis and great changes, this Golden Cicada he had refined was best helper for Ye Chuan, as the feelings of people were unpredictable, those reverent and respectful followers could have deceitfulness, but the yao beasts whose lives were closely linked as flesh and blood would never betray. In the previous lifetime, Ye Chuan had nurtured Emperor Monarch Black Python, Blue Eyed Bewitching Empress and Medicine King Ghost Hand and so on Great Sage of yao clan, and only concealed the heaven. This lifetime, he had Refining Yao Swallowing Heaven secrets and Cyan Lotus Lamp. With those, he wanted to nurture even more powerful absolutely loyal helper, and swallow the heaven and sweep the earth. Ye Chuan drew the support of Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal and spiritual qi of heaven and earth to silently temper and refine his muscles veins, while patiently strengthening his body and nourishing his spirit. In this fashion, time swiftly passed. After dawn, Ye Chuan opened his eyes and walked outside and began sweeping the courtyard as always. Just when he had swept partway, chaotic sounds of footsteps and hubbub sound came through outside. Opening the door to look, he saw Jin Hua sitting on the stretcher with a bundle of bramble on his back was approaching from far away. And following after him were a crowd of people. These people were following him up the hill in this early morning just to watch the excitement. Offering a humble apology? [T.L note: To bring bramble and ask for the punishment (idiom) = offer a humble apology, and I have used latter one.] Ye Chuan coldly smiled, he hadn¡¯t expected that this silkpants Jin Hua would really come here. He had pulled down his pants and violently beaten him in the public, but he unexpectedly endured all of them and still came here to apologize, this kid could really be cheap! Secretly want to play dirty? It seems the lesson of yesterday was still too light! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I¡¯m guilty, I beg your pardon, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± With tears of pain flowing down, Jin Hua arrived in front of Ye Chuan by rolling and crawling on the ground. After that he hugged the right leg of Ye Chuan and wailed, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I was wrong, I shouldn¡¯t have sown discord to attract Nan Tiandu to come and look for you, and also shouldn¡¯t have consider everyone beneath my notice. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I, Jin Hua am guilty, I beg your pardon. You can punish me again, use these brambles to beat me again.¡± Jin Hua who was arrogant and domineering in the past preformed this drama perfectly. All the onlookers around were dumbfounded to see this and all of them were completely deceived by his lifelike performance. If he had not heard everything yesterday when he had used Yin Spirit Nightwalking, then even Ye Chuan himself might have also completely deceived by him just like these onlookers. With this type of acting ability, not going to theatrical troupe to play the role of vivacious young lady was too unfortunate. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, don¡¯t be like this, I, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother was also wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have been so heavy handed. Junior apprentice brother stand up! Seeing junior apprentice-brother, your appearance like this, I, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡¯s heart also don¡¯t feel well ah!¡± Ye Chuan affectionately brought up Jin Hua, and with two eyes brimming with tears, he wiped all the tears and nasal mucus of Jin Hua without exception. Boy, act, continue to act, we¡¯ll act together! Secretly scheming against I, your father, let¡¯s see who will play with whom! Ye Chuan acting was even more lifelike than Jin Hua. You are tough, then I am even tougher; if you are sinister, then I am even more sinister!¡± Ye Chuan decided to accompany Jin Hua in his drama. As a matter of fact, directly killing wasn¡¯t interesting, slowly blending and tasting, just like sipping a tea was most important process. Jin Hua, this kid was base and shameless, but, that just happens to be the liking of Ye Chuan. After being trapped inside God Burial Valley for hundred thousands of ten thousand years, it had already been a very long time since he had last time tasted the flavor of scheming and poking fun at other peoples. And timely, this Jin Hua came to knock at his door. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, please beat me, beat me again, ruthlessly beat me!¡± Jin Hua said with resolute face. In order to lower the guard of Ye Chuan, he was ready to risk everything. Ye Chuan raised his head, and said with some hesitation, ¡°That won¡¯t do, junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, isn¡¯t this fine? I, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother was also wrong, so I have already forgiven you, hereafter, we¡¯ll join force to develop our sect.¡± ¡°No that won¡¯t do, Senior Apprentice-Brother, please beat me. Use these bramble to hit me, in order to prove that you really have cooled down your temper, and forgave me.¡± Jin Hua continued to act. ¡°Okay, then I am forced to accept deferentially than to decline courteously.¡± Ye Chuan picked up a bramble, and an evil smile secretly appeared in his face. Jin Hua felt the current situation was anything but reassuring, and the situation seemed to have deviated from the track. At this moment, Ye Chuan would no longer decline again. Is this situation created by myself? Or, is this brat, Ye Chuan also acting stupid? Pa! A crisp sound suddenly resounded in the sky of Purple Cloud Peak. Without giving any time for Jin Hua to think, Ye Chuan firmly lashed down. The tied up gauze in the wounds of Jin Hua cracked once again, and on his butt where the old wounds had yet to heal completely, another bloody deep mark appeared. ¡°He¡­¡­, he really hit?¡± Jin Hua was stunned, and he immediately wanted to resist, call out numerous followers to rush up in a crowd and kill Ye Chuan, but thinking of his father¡¯s instruction, he had no choice but to endure, so very reluctantly he endured another round of lashing. Only a few lashing, and tears were already flowing out because of pain. The acting of this time cost him a great deal of pain that entered up to his bone marrow. And he quickly began to wail Father and call Mother. Chapter 19: I leave my hope on you Chapter 19: I leave my hope on you Pa! Pa! Pa pa pa! The successive sounds of firmly lashing resounded. And only after hitting a dozen or so times without any soft-heartedness, Ye Chuan finally stopped. Poor Jin Hua, he was already beaten to half death, and his shining buttocks were drenched with blood once again. At the beginning, he gave out loud blood-curdling scream, but afterwards, he could only gave out a muffled groan. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, are you alright?¡± Ye Chuan hypocritically helped silkpants Jin Hua to stand up, then with his face filled with concern and guilt, he said, ¡°Ai, I really don¡¯t want to hit, but was that hard?¡± ¡°I¡­¡­I¡¯m fine, senior apprentice-brother, as long as¡­¡­, as long as you are mollified and forgave me.¡± Raising his head and seeing the face of Ye Chuan who had ruthlessly beaten him, Jin Hua could only pretend to be he was fine, but inwardly he was spurting blood. Delivering himself to the doorsteps to take a beating until his buttocks was filled with injury once again, even he himself felt that he had become sufficiently humble. He wished that he could call his numerous followers to tear apart this Ye Chuan. But thinking about the instruction of his father and Third Elder, he had no choice but to endure. Even if all of his teeth were knocked out, currently he could only contain tears and resist. He have to endure. ¡°Well, I forgive you, hereafter, we are not fellow apprentice-brother, we¡¯re blood brother, a single family not two family. Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, I have a bottle of Dragon Horned Snakeskin Ointment, it is very effective for the treatment of various kinds of skin wounds, but when applying, there will be a little bit of pain. I will help you to apply a little bit of it, see whether you can endure it or not.¡± Ye Chuan took out a bottle of medicine ointment, then he dipped in a small branch into it, and applied the ointment on the wounds of Jin Hua¡¯s buttocks. Hearing that it would be a little bit painful, Jin Hua got nervous, but it was also not good to refuse, so he was forced to have his heart in his mouth and let Ye Chuan apply the ointment on his injury, as if an oppressed lamb. Fortunately, after the ointment was applied, he didn¡¯t feel any pain in particular, only felt a little cooler. ¡°How is it, can you endure it?¡± After applying the ointment, Ye Chuan asked. Jin Hua nodded his head, ¡°Fortunately I¡¯m able to endure it, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you can continue, thank you.¡± ¡°Okay, I will gently apply it, endure it, your wounds will heal in no time.¡± Ye Chuan evilly smiled, and secretly circulated Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, then lightly poked Jin Hua with that small branch. Immediately after that Jin Hua this silkpants gave out a blood-curdling scream once again Endure? That was simply daydreaming, this kind of stinging pain was something people cannot endure! Dragon Horned Snakeskin Ointment in itself was not up by much, and also wouldn¡¯t give people stinging pain like this, but adding the power of Heaven Swallowing Heaven Talisman and Ye Chuan¡¯s skill, it would suddenly become different. ¡°Don¡¯t move, endure, endure, it will be over soon.¡± Ye Chuan held down Jin Hua without letting him to struggle free. Then deliberately smeared the ointment on the buttocks wounds of Jin Hua slowly, making him taste buttocks splitting pain. Acting dumb, Ye Chuan this brat is definitely acting dumb. He is intentionally doing this. Jin Hua gnashed his teeth. Once again he wanted to resist with all his strength as he had already reached the end of his patience, but for the sake of overall situation, he again had no choice but to endure with great difficulty with sullen heart once again. Seeing the appearance of Jin Hua screaming himself to hoarse, the onlookers continuously shook their head showing sympathy. ¡°That truly is a Dragon Horned Snakeskin Ointment ah, this however is a rare ointment, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is really considerate.¡± ¡°Smearing so carefully, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother truly is taking no account of old grudge, his heart is so broad.¡± Pointing at Ye Chuan, the onlookers greatly praised Ye Chuan. Hearing this, the heart of Jin Hua who was already driven beyond his forbearance sullied even more. Ye Chuan was obviously acting dumb, and intentionally regulating him, but everyone said otherwise. He had paid such a big price, he brought a bramble and asked for a punishment, and endured humiliation in order to carry out an important mission, but how could these onlookers turn a blind eye to those things and spat out nonsense like this. No one spoke a single sentence of good words about him. Jin Hua waited until the bottle of ointment was completely smeared with great difficulty. After that Ye Chuan helped Jin Hua who was bleeding blood in his heart to get up, and said, ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, how is it, is it better now?¡± ¡°Better, much better, thank you Big Senior Apprentice-Brother.¡± Jin Hua tearfully nodded his head. After that with a meaningful glance, he took wine flagon from the hands of his follower, then personally poured a cup of wine to Ye Chuan. And taking the advantage of time when no-one was paying attention, a pill hidden inside the nail of his right hand¡¯s middle finger which was Breaking Yang Water pill dropped inside the wine cup. After that he respectfully served it to Ye Chuan, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Jin Hua present you a drink of my respect. From now on, you are our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s through and through Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, whoever dares to disrespect you, I, Jin Hua will be the first person to not let him off! Please drink this cup of wine, form now we are no longer only fellow apprentices, we are blood brothers!¡± ¡°Good, good!¡± Ye Chuan took the wine cup, then while Jin Hua was restlessly thinking whether his scheme would fall through and stand expose or not, Ye Chuan drained the cup in one gulp. The little tricks of Jin Hua, although was able to deceive the onlookers, but Ye Chuan however had seen through it clearly. But, he simply didn¡¯t care about it. As a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he had once taught the founder of Cloud Mist Sect Ghost Hand Medicine King, this kind of pill and poison concocting great master, so not only was his hand able to conceal the heaven, in the aspect of pill and poison concocting, his attainment was also unrivalled under the heaven. So Jin Hua wanting to poison him was naturally displaying his slight skill before an expert. ¡°Ha ha ha, good, good, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother really is bold and uninhibited.¡± Jin Hua laughed excitedly. He had personally watched Ye Chuan gulping down Breaking Yang Water, so he was endlessly excited inwardly. All of his haze and sullen cleared off. Brat, now I will see how you will still be overbearing, and see how you will get married. Just imagining the miserable situation of Ye Chuan being driven out by the bride on his wedding night made Jin Hua burst with joy. This moment, he felt that all the humiliations and sufferings he had suffered were worth it. ¡°Good wine, junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, never thought that you also have such temperament. Well, since you treated so nicely to me, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is feeling embarrassed for not preparing you anything, so what kind of gift should I give you?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t reveal the scheme of Jin Hua, instead pretending to know nothing, he pretended to feel embarrassed. After pausing for a brief moment, he took out Dragon¡¯s Vein crystal, ¡°How about this, this is the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal sealed within my body by Sect Master. I have never refined it, so instead of wasting it with me, I will give it to you as a gift. Junior apprentice brother Jin Hua, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I figured out that in this lifetime, I have no hope for cultivation, and even if I persist on, I am destined to not become an expert, so I might as well leave my hope on you. In the future, when you refine this Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal and become great expert, for Sect¡¯s glory, resolutely suppress the power and prestige of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect.¡± ¡°Ah, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, this¡­¡­¡± Jin Hua had never expected this, so he was looking at Ye Chuan in disbelief. And all the onlookers in one side were also similarly looking at Ye Chuan in disbelief. This was not an ordinary treasure, rather a Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal that could make people¡¯s cultivation advance by leaps and bounds! Many people wanted to obtain it, but all of them were powerless to obtain it, but here Big Senior Apprentice-Brother was giving it away as a gift like this. Jin Hua was dumbstruck. For a long time, he had dreamed about snatching this Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal which was within the body of Ye Chuan, as well as snatching his position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. For this, he had secretly done many shameful acts, but unfortunately, Ye Chuan dissolved all of them one after another. But who would have thought that, one day, Ye Chuan would actually take the initiative to give him this Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal as a gift. Meat pie fell from the sky, happiness came so suddenly that Jin Hua was dumbfound and was unable to react in any way. He subconsciously thought that Ye Chuan was making fool of him and again was acting dumb to deceive people. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Jin Hua, take it.¡± Not waiting for people to see more, Ye Chuan suddenly used his secret art and sent this Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal inside the body of Jin Hua. In this split second, the latter sensed powerful energy fluctuation within his body. If he was able to refine it, then no need to talk about quickly breaking through to Rank 3 Xiushi, even breaking through to Rank 5 Xiushi was undoubtedly not a problem. ¡°Ha ha ha, hahahaha, good, good, thank you Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I, junior apprentice-brother respectfully accept your gift.¡± Jin Hua finally responded while laughing heartily. The instant Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal entered into his body, he felt a little bit strange, and he felt like vomiting, because this Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal moved as if it had a life, making him feel like he had swallowed a living fly. But carefully sensing, that majestic power was not wrong, it was definitely a genuine Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal. This brat is not acting dumb, he truly is stupid! Giving away Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal like this, isn¡¯t this proving his idiocy? Gulped down Breaking Yang Water, so his marriage will definitely spoil, and without Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal, how could he still occupy the position of Sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother? Looking at stupid Ye Chuan, Jin Hua laughed heartily and became wild with joy. Ye Chuan was also laughing, laughing even more brilliantly than Jin Hua. Chapter 20: I’m still young Chapter 20: I¡¯m still young ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi came running all the way up a mountain, then panting, he quickly arrived in front of people, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, quick, Great Elder asked you to immediately go over to Cloud Mist Hall.¡± ¡°Fatty, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Black¡­¡­Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong honored us with his presence, and point¡­¡­, pointed out that he wanted to meet you. I heard, it¡¯s a good matter as large as the heaven. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, quick¡­¡­, quickly go!¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi was gasping for breath, and was also unbearably tired as he had dashed all the way to here. They came quite quickly. The eyes of Ye Chuan shone, as he was well aware about what was going on. As for Jin Hua standing beside Ye Chuan, he was feeling bitter within his heart. Although he had already put in poison in secret, and made Ye Chuan gulp down Breaking Yang Water, but seeing good matters was about to come to the house of Ye Chuan in just a moment and get married to the beloved daughter of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master, he was still unhappy inside his heart. Now, the circumstance had changed, Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal was already in his hand, so for what reason should that kind of good matter still fall in the hands of Ye Chuan? ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan secretly observed the changes in expression of Jin Hua, then calling Fatty Zhao Dazhi, he quickly left straight towards Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s most important place Cloud Mist Hall. And while on the way, he silently circulate Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body and left behind a somewhat moist footprints on the ground. This moment he was expelling out all of those Breaking Yang Water he had drank just now with the wine. The onlookers were stunned for a moment but they quickly followed behind them, wanting to take a look at what good matter would happen. Grand Sect Master honoring by his presence, in the history of both Cloud Mist Sect and Black Cauldron Sect, this however was very rare matter. The news of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong personally coming, as if rock falling down into a clam lake, gave rise to heaven shaking waves. The melodious sound of bells suddenly resounded throughout the sky of Cloud Mist Sect, grandly welcoming the arrival of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master. After hurriedly arriving at Cloud Mist Hall, Ye Chuan discovered that basically all the high level and elite personnel of sect were already present. Even though Zhu Sijia was wearing ordinary red clothing, but with her curvy figure which was developed in right place, she was particularly conspicuous even among the elite disciples. Moreover just like red flower that had burst forth, she confidently stood in front of other disciples. Silkpants Jin Hua¡¯s father Jin Zhikun had also came here leading a group of Alchemy Hall¡¯s experts. And when he saw the figure of Ye Chuan, his eyes flashed with fierce cold light, soon after that he put on a false smile on his face. Beside Great Elder, a nearly two meters tall man with long bread and ferocious gaze seemingly angry and powerful was sitting upright. And from that powerful energy fluctuation surging within his body, he obviously was a Daoist Master realm great expert. With him being able to sit on the same level with Great Elder, it might be assumed that he was Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong. ¡°Ye Chuan greets all of you elders, and Sect Master Tuoba.¡± Ye Chuan slightly bowed in courtesy. Long breaded Tuoba Xiong looked over, then sizing Ye Chuan up and down from head to toe with interest, he said, ¡°Youngster, are you the Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan of Cloud Mist Sect?¡± ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Ye Chuan replied. Tuoba Xiong who had always sat in high position had extraordinary aura. In front of him, not even one Hall Masters of Cloud Mist Sect dared to put up the airs, and just a single look of his would make them nervous, but Ye Chuan however was completely indifferent. Seeing his reaction, Great Elder secretly nodded, but Sect Master Tuoba Xiong however was rather surprised. ¡°Rank 5 Wuzhe, good, good, this generation¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Cloud Mist Sect is really extraordinary, and talented. He really have a well-deserved reputation, hahaha¡­¡­¡± After carefully sizing up Ye Chuan several times, Tuoba Xiong burst into a loud laughter, and all the experts of Black Cauldron Sect that had come together with him also had a smile on their face. The people of Cloud Mist Sect however were rather embarrassed. Among the disciples around, Rank 5 Wuzhe wouldn¡¯t count as being too low, but if this kind of realm was put onto the body of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of grand sect, then that was plain losing face. That was resounding slapping on the face! The laughter of Tuoba Xiong was incomparably harsh in the ears of other people. Even Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun had unsightly complexion. But the concerned party Ye Chuan however replied without batting an eyelid, as if he was not able to understand the ridicule inside the words of Tuoba Xiong, ¡°In general, I¡¯m not too well-known, but I will continue to make great effort. As a Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of the sect, developing sect is my responsibility.¡± The laughter of Tuoba Xiong ceased abruptly, then looking at talking big Ye Chuan, he was dumbfounded. Right now his expression was incomparably brilliant. As for the people of Cloud Mist Sect, they also had similar expression, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Even if he don¡¯t understand the meaning of the words of other person, its fine, but taking it seriously and bragging unblushingly, didn¡¯t you Ye Chuan already lose enough face? With this manner, how can there be an alliance by marriage? People secretly shook their head, Great Elder also was similar, had a kind of useless feeling. Well it seems the alliance by marriage fell flat. Jin Hua who had arrived one step late was also laughing inwardly. Although he was somewhat frustrated as he couldn¡¯t obtain ¡®alliance by marriage¡¯ this kind of good matter, but seeing Ye Chuan would also not obtain this good matter in a moment, he was happy in his heart. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, good, good, Cloud Mist Sect is really nurturing a future pillar of the state.¡± Tuoba Xiong burst into a loud laughter again, and outside the expectation of other people, he was not dissatisfied. Right now he was again sizing up Ye Chuan as if he was rather satisfied with him. ¡°From hundred years ago, my Black Cauldron Sect and Cloud Mist Sect have always been in friendly terms with each other, and also gone through thick and thin together. Now new King of Da Qin had just ascended to the throne, and in this state of great confusion, our two great sects needs to unite even more. Yun Feiwu is not here, so Great Elder, let us make an alliance by marriage, let your noble sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan get married with my pearl in the palm Tuoba Xiaoniao, what do you say?¡± ¡°Well, since Sect Master is interested, then this naturally is the best.¡± Great Elder agreed. Currently Cloud Mist Sect was steadily declining, but Black Cauldron Sect nevertheless was like the sun at high noon in Cloud Mist Mountain Range, so if two large sect formed alliance by marriage, then it was clearly advantageous for Cloud Mist Sect, moreover they would have one less strong opponent. And as for Ye Chuan, this was a good thing as large as the heaven for him, so there was no reason to oppose. All those people who had shaken their head and sighed, immediately became excited inwardly. As for Jin Hua, his complexion nevertheless sunk and felt unwell as if he had eaten a dead fly. Ye Chuan who showed this kind of behavior was still able to obtain the recognition of Tuoba Xiong, and continued to form an alliance by marriage, is there any justice in this world? How come such good matters never turned towards him? ¡°Not good!¡± Ye Chuan exclaimed, then loudly said, ¡°Great Elder, I¡¯m still young, so I don¡¯t want to get married for the time being. Moreover after learning a lesson through painful experience, I clearly understood that I have no hope for cultivation, so I don¡¯t want to continue to persist on cultivation any more. Furthermore I have already given Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal which was sealed within my body by Master Sect Master to junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua as a gift. Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua is powerful, talented and is well-known cultivation genius, so this marriage too, I will give it to him. Moreover, in Purple Cloud Peak, he said to me that he always was secretly in love with Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master¡¯s pearl in the palm Tuoba Xiaoniao. And in this life, if he didn¡¯t get to marry her, then he would never marry another woman. So Sect Master Tuoba, Great Elder, considering the infatuated heart of junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, please help him achieve his aim.¡± As a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, what kind of women Ye Chuan had not seen? So towards this alliance marriage, he truly didn¡¯t have any interest. Moreover, just like dealing with a man as he deals with you, after getting secretly schemed behind his back, letting this silkpants Jin Hua get married with Tuoba Xiong¡¯s pearl in the palm would be more amusing. ¡°What? Ye Chuan, you¡­¡­, you gifted Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal¡­¡­¡± Great Elder Zhu Huohong was shocked, you can give away Medicine Pill Formula as a gift, but how can you give a marriage? Furthermore, Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal however was a priceless treasure that was sealed inside the body of Ye Chuan personally by Sect Master, how can you say that you gifted it so easily? Everyone was dumbfounded, including father of Jin Hua, Jin Zhikun and Third Elder. This change was too fast. ¡°That¡¯s right, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother has already gifted me Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal, with this treasure, breaking through to Daoist Master realm is just around the corner. I, Jin Hua, elite disciple of Alchemy Hall greets Sect Master Tuoba!¡± Jin Hua stepped forward, and respectfully bowed towards Tuoba Xiong in courtesy. Tuoba Xiong was also very surprised, never expected to have this kind of changes. Sizing Jin Hua up and down, the smile on his face became increasingly brilliant. Compared to Ye Chuan, this Jin Hua in front of his eyes was undoubtedly many times more outstanding. He was a true genius of Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°Good, good, this youngster is really talented, Xiaoniao would definitely like you upon seeing you.¡± ¡°Boy, still not paying respect to father-in-law?¡± Jin Zhikun moved his lips, secretly transmitting his voce to Jin Hua. Jin Hua was elated and bowed once again, ¡°Jin Hua greets Your Excellency father-in-law.¡± Getting married to the pearl in the palm of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master, this was good thing as large as the heaven. God really has eyes, finally it¡¯s my turn! With strong support of Black Cauldron Sect, how could there be two ways about making Great Elder mere figure head, and grasping the authority of Cloud Mist Sect? Jin Hua was so wild with joy that he had already forgotten about the matter of how he had persistently pursued Zhu Sijia. And as for his father Jin Zhikun and backer Third Elder, both of them were also busy smiling. Chapter 21: Sister Xiaoniao falling from sky Chapter 21: Sister Xiaoniao falling from sky ¡°Step aside, make way!¡¯ A simple and vigorous voice suddenly came from outside the hall, and a robust burly fellow squeezed in. This figure was nearly two meters tall, but wore brightly colored clothing. The face of this person was fully covered with cosmetic and the lips were smeared with even redder than the monkey buttocks lipstick. Carefully looking at this burly fellow, this fellow was a woman. Then with a throat tearing sweet voice, she said, ¡°Who has been secretly in love with me, and going to marry me? Stand up and let this girl have a look!¡± A masculine woman squeezed in, then familiarly stood beside Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong. This is Tuoba Xiaoniao? Clearly is Da diao ah! [T.L: Xiaoniao = xiao: small/little, niao (diao): bird, and Dadiao = da: big/large] The heart of all people became cold, and just seeing the face of Tuoba Xiaoniao, they couldn¡¯t bear to look straight at her. Her figure was definitely curvy. Merely, sunken was her chest, sticking out was nevertheless her stomach, and her whole body had excess flesh. Tall and thin Jin Hua, if he married her, then wouldn¡¯t he be squashed in their first wedding night? Ye Chuan immediately flashed to one side, and standing beside Zhu Sijia, he secretly became pleased with himself for giving away this chance to Jin Hua. ¡°This¡­¡­, Your Excellency Sect Master, is this your noble daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao?¡± Jin Hua subconsciously shrunk back, while feeling clod in his heart. Although he was licentious, and also had experienced innumerable women, but this kind of hardcore, he naturally couldn¡¯t enjoy ah. ¡°Yes, this is my daughter. Noble son Jin, Xioniao¡¯s looks is not bad, when you two stand together, you two really looks like an ideal couple unparalleled in the world. Hahaha!¡± Tuoba Xiong laughed heartily. The more he looked at Jin Hua the more he like him. ¡°Yes, ideal couple, unparalleled in the world ah!¡± Ye Chuan laughed inwardly, then pulled Jin Hua who was looking for a chance to sneak off, then pushed him beside Tuoba Xiaoniao. When these two people stood together, robust Tuoba Xiaoniao instead resembled man, and thin and tall Jin Hua instead resembled cute and helpless girl. ¡°Xiaoniao, please move a little bit closer to junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua for a hug. His unrequited love of many years finally came to fruition, so he want to hug a beauty back home, don¡¯t let him down.¡± ¡°Heh heh, noble son Jin looks so handsome, I like him.¡± The words of Tuoba Xiaoniao made the legs of Jin Hua tremble, and felt that he had changed into a little lamb that would allow oneself to be trampled upon. He wanted to move away, but Tuoba Xiaoniao stretched her arms and hugged him. And a thick body odor assaulted his nostrils. If hugged in just this fashion in wedding night, then wouldn¡¯t it¡­¡­ Jin Hua inwardly thought of committing suicide. All of his excitement were obliterated completely. After facing this Big Bird all day long, what¡¯s the delight of high cultivation and position? Jin Hua suddenly felt his life incomparably bleak. Before, he was racking his brains for schemes to seize the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal and the position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, and also wanted to get married with the Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master¡¯s pearl in the palm in place of Ye Chuan. Now however, he would rather be an ordinary outer disciple, or even a handyman was also fine. But he had already uttered father-in-law words in public, and when he was thinking of breaking off the engagement, unfortunately Tuoba Xiaoniao hugged him tightly as soon as she saw him, so that became beyond the control of him. Looking at this unexpected scene, onlookers began talking in whisper while pointing out, and secretly sighed for this situation of a fresh flower poked into a pile of manure. And in the current situation, Jin Hua was that fresh flower, and Tuoba Xioniao was first rate cow dung. ¡°Cough, everybody, calm down a bit!¡± Ye Chuan coughed, then looking at everyone around, he said: ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua still has a cherished desire, that is to never part with Tuoba Xiaoniao. Lord Sect Master, Great Elder, it would be better to select an auspicious date, and today also happens to be a very good day, so how about letting junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua and Tuoba Xiaoniao get married, and have a bridal chamber this evening, please don¡¯t let junior apprentice brother Jin Hua wait for a long time.¡± ¡°Well, I¡¯ll listen to my husband¡¯s arrangement.¡± Tuoba Xiaonian¡¯s words were astonishing, and cutely acted spoiled, unfortunately, her voice was too loud, changing into a roar. And combined with that fierce face and excess flesh all over, she downright looked domineering. When did I, your father have this kind of cherished desire? Jin Hua was shocked as well as angry, while loudly wailing mournfully in his heart. And he also wanted to struggle free and run like mad away from this sect, but his body was as if octopus firmly hugged by Tuoba Xiaoniao. ¡°Congratulation Sect Master!¡± ¡°Congratulation senior apprentice-brother Jin Hua!¡± People stepped forward and congratulated one after another, but this caused Jin Hua to wail mournfully while dripping blood within his heart. If gaze alone could kill a person, then Ye Chuan who was standing at one side and watching the play would have already been killed 100 times. ¡°Heh heh, its ShowTime, and now it¡¯s only the beginning.¡± Ye Chuan coldly laughed, looking at Jin Hua who was spitting blood in his heart. Compared to directly punching his head, this was more pleasurable, dark pleasurable. This taste, tsk tsk, I have not tasted for a very long time. Want to scheme against I, your father? I will make you so that not even a residue is left of you! ¡°Ye Chuan, did you say something?¡± Zhu Sijia turned around, and questioningly looked at Ye Chuan. As hall was too noisy, she didn¡¯t hear clearly. Ye Chuan laughed, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, what I mean is, I¡¯m too envious of junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua. Tonight is his wedding night with an endearing little bird.¡± Poof, Zhu Sijia laughed, while her luminous eyes wander about. Looking at Tuoba Xiaoniao and Jin Hua¡¯s build, the position of an endearing little bird would be somewhat indecent. ¡°Hahaha, good, good, this evening shall be bridal chamber.¡± Tuoba Xiong laughed, right, the more he looked at Jin Hua the more satisfied he became, then he waved his hand, ¡°Great Elder, now I am taking back Xiaoniao, and very quickly I will sent her over with dowry, you should also make preparation.¡± ¡°This¡­¡­, isn¡¯t this too fast?¡± Great Elder was stunned. ¡°Not fast, Great Elder, quickly make preparation without losing any time. You see, junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua already couldn¡¯t wait till dusk.¡± As soon as Ye Chuan opened his mouth, Jin Hua felt like spitting blood again. Seeing his son was about to get married with this kind of big bird, Jin Zhikun was unable to bear and wanted to step forward to prevent this. But Third Elder shook his head. And he readily taking the hint, and was forced to give up. Although Tuoba Xiaoniao was ugly, but in the face of interest, ugly doesn¡¯t matter. ¡°Yes yes yes, not fast, good deeds must be strike while the iron is still hot. Quickly make preparation without wasting any time. Great Elder, I am taking my leave, hahahaha!¡± Tuoba Xiong laughed heartily, then with Tuoba Xiaoniao and other group of elite personnel of Black Cauldron Sect, he swaggered off, intending to prepare for tonight¡¯s wedding. Only now did Jin Hua who was continuously hugged tightly by Tuoba Xiaoniao just like octopus was finally able to catch his breathe. ¡°Hall Master Jin, what do you think?¡± Great Elder looked towards Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun, and slightly frowned. Just as fast as this marriage came that fast it was decided, so how could he not think something was wrong. ¡°I agree with every decision of Great Elder.¡± Looking at Third Elder, Jin Zhikun carefully replied. Jin Hua opened his mouth to protest, but he was slapped down. ¡°Third Elder, what about you?¡± Great Elder asked. ¡°There is no harm, this way is very good, after all, alliance by marriage is a good thing.¡± Third Elder answered, while narrowing his eyes. Don¡¯t know what he was thinking. ¡°Fine, then it¡¯s settled, tonight¡¯s the bridal chamber.¡± Great Elder instructed then standing up, he left. ¡°Congratulation, congratulation!¡± People came forward to congratulate, then every person left with a smile, but Jin Hua however was crying without tears. After Tuoba Xiaoniao had left, no one including his father, Third Elder and Great Elder asked about his opinion for this marriage. All treated him as nonexistence as if air from the start. Before, he was jealous of Ye Chuan and secretly hated about why good things never fell onto him, now, however he couldn¡¯t reject the fallen good thing. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, congratulation, can¡¯t wait for your tonight¡¯s wedding night.¡± Ye Chuan also stepped forward to congratulate, then calling Fatty Zhao Dazhi and Zhu Sijia, they left together. While leaving, he whispered something in the ear of Fatty. After that Fatty somewhat hesitated, then looking at Zhu Sijia, he dashed away. Chapter 22: Junior apprentice-sister, don’t go Chapter 22: Junior apprentice-sister, don¡¯t go Returning to Purple Cloud Peak, Ye Chuan uttered a long and loud cry without restraint. Thinking back about that beaten expression of Jin Hua when he saw Tuoba Xiaoniao, he felt very happy. ¡°M-hm, next, will that boy resign to his fate and get married or escape without trace to avoid this marriage?¡± Ye Chuan inwardly speculated while waiting expectantly. After that, he raised his head and looked towards the sky. Seeing it was still early, he sat cross-legged in the study and began cultivation. A very pure worldly spiritual qi rapidly fell continuously from the sky, and seeped into the numerous bones of arms and legs of Ye Chuan. Without Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal, he was lacking important source energy, but compared to a few days before, the worldly spiritual qi of Purple Cloud Peak was many times denser. Cultivating here would give twice the results for half the effort. After learning the flaws of Medicine Spirit Formation from Ye Chuan, Second Elder as if he had found a priceless treasure, quickly kept himself busy. First he repaired the Medicine Spirit Formation of his mountain peak, then, he repaired all the Medicine Spirit Formation of Purple Cloud Peak, without saying day and night. Even when all the higher ups of sect were receiving Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong in Cloud Mist Hall, he however was absent. For Ye Chuan, this however was equivalent to getting a free labor working for him. Second Elder Nan Gongren¡¯s nickname was Medicine Crazy. This nickname was truly not for show, as he took good care of every medicinal herbs within the sect, and earnestly hope to thoroughly exterminate those wicked flies. Unfortunately, although he spare no effort, his efficacy however still fell short a bit. With Rank 3 Daoist Master cultivation level, it was still not enough to thoroughly repair Medicine Spirit Formation of mountains, as some flaws, even if he could see them, he was not able to repair it. Currently compared to other mountain peak, Purple Cloud Peak had very less flies, but they were still not thoroughly stamped out. If he wants to thoroughly repair, then it seems, Ye Chuan had to personally raise his hand after his cultivation rose. The qi vortex within his dantian slowly rotated. Although qi vortex already had a hint of reaching half-way to Heaven Swallowing Talisman, but distance to the complete Heaven Swallowing Talisman was still very far away. Ye Chuan was not impatient, he wanted to go about things steadily and surely. Slowly, after absorbing pure worldly spiritual qi, Heaven Swallowing Talisman condensed even more solidly, and boundless power spread all over tempering and refining his bones and muscles. The muscles from head to toe trembled faster and faster, giving out thunder like explosion sound. How you cultivate in the ranks of Wuzhe realm, directly influence the future potential. And form the very beginning, Ye Chuan had made up his mind to cultivate every rank to its pinnacle. In the same fashion, for Rank 5 Wuzhe, he wanted to spend tenfold or even hundredfold painstaking effort compared to ordinary people. The night came faster than the expectation of people. Tonight, Cloud Mist Sect was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, and the sect was full of joy. All disciples were busy preparing for the upcoming wedding. Jin Hua, with Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal left behind by Sect Master already in his hand, and soon getting married to the pearl in the palm of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master, in the eyes of onlookers, he had reached the heaven in single bound, and was already certain to replace Ye Chuan to become Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of sect. And resolute people were already thinking secretly about what generous gift to send, so that they could curry favor as early as possible. Ye Chuan awoke from his quiet cultivation, and with rapt attention, looked at Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, and saw that it still hadn¡¯t taken a shape completely, but compared to before, it was more solid, and the inscription above the talisman was lightly pulsating as if it had life, displaying its primitive simplicity and mysteriousness. ¡°That kid Jin Hua, is he still throwing big tantrum or is already on the road to become fugitive at this moment?¡± Ye Chuan evilly smiled, then looking towards the sky outside the window, he took out Cyan Lotus Lamp, and his spirit came out once again, fully using Yin Spirit Nightwalking. With the experience and lesson of last time, this time he was more proficient. Along with an ill wind, his spirit went straight to the place where Jin Hua¡¯s courtyard was located. But to his surprise, he unexpectedly came away empty-handed, the courtyard where Jin Hua resided was completely empty. Did that kid really ran away? Ye Chuan found this somewhat unexpected. Carefully sensing, his spirit went towards another direction. In a remote small courtyard, spring colors filled the garden. ¡°Junior apprentice-sister, hurry up, you want me to die!¡± The voice of Jin Hua transmitted outwards from inside the dark wooden house. Right now his voice was hoarse. Today, he really wanted to spit blood, thinking about later tonight he was going to have wedding night with Tuoba Xiaoniao, his heart was very worried. All people were bustling about full of joy, but he was calmly hiding here while seeking amusement. A woman with half clothes untied who was holding onto the neck of Jin Hua said, ¡°Senior¡­apprentice-brother¡­¡­, are you truly going to get married with that Big Bird? Then hereafter, what about me?¡± ¡°First I need to deal with tonight, afterwards, I will inherit the mantle of Third Elder, and become Big Senior Apprentice-Brother with real power.¡± Jin Hua gloomily said. He can endure this, really not an average person ah! Ye Chuan admired, unexpectedly, Jin Hua, this slikpants could still endure. If average person was in his place, then he would have already sneaked away at that very moment. But, it is better this way, if this fellow sneak away quite early, then I¡¯d have lost my small amusement. That girl called Xiao Qing also admired, then removing all her clothing, she softly as if boneless coiled around the body of Jin Hua, while lightly removing latter¡¯s clothing, ¡°Senior apprentice-brother is wise, then tonight you still¡­¡­¡± ¡°Fuck, go on, why on earth you need to go on fucking talk nonsense. Xiao Qing, just attend I, senior apprentice-brother well, later you are bound to have many benefits.¡± Jin Hua turned over, and pushing down junior apprentice-sister Xiao Qing, he yelled. Jin Hua who was going to have a bridal chamber very soon, here with a fickle junior apprentice-sister Xiao Qing, he was having an affair. He had already decided that when it was time for the bridal chamber, he would quickly get the matter done. Recalling Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s that robust appearance, his heart shuddered, who dares to get entangle in ** with her? He made up his mind to instantly finish the battle, and get done quickly. ¡°Wow, senior apprentice-brother, you are ferocious¡­¡­¡± ¡°Humph, if not ferocious then how can I call myself senior apprentice-brother?¡± ¡°Eh, senior apprentice-brother, how come you are suddenly on the point of death?¡± ¡°Junior apprentice-sister, wait a moment, I will be ready right away.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ A man and a woman, hiding to do that shameful thing. If Tuoba Xiaoniao who had fallen in love at first sight knew this, don¡¯t know how sad she would be. Thinking of Tuoba Xiaoniao, Jin Hua would want to vomit, but for the sake of future prospect, he could only endure, endure the things average person would never be able to endure. But, now just at the crucial point of this happy moment, he suddenly discovered that he unexpectedly was at the point of death. His whole body was hard but only a place was soft just like a slug. After a while, the slug hardened, and just when he wanted to mount and gallop, it again softened, this happened repeatedly. ¡°Senior apprentice-brother, if you¡¯re stressed too much, then how about doing another day?¡± Xiao Qing was unable to maintain, and was very tired continuously lying on her stomach like this. ¡°Won¡¯t do, I must have you tonight.¡± The complexion of Jin Hua became ghastly pale, and fiddle his slug once again, but it¡¯s too bad, it was still useless. Xiao Qing smiled without get angry, then from under the pillow, she took out a red medicine pill, ¡°Here, take this, I already knew you will have a day like this.¡± ¡°Dragon Tiger Pill?¡± The eyes of Jin Hua shone, then swallowed it down in a single gulp. After that he felt heat on his lower abdomen, and quickly showed the reaction. His slug stood up just like one pillar supporting the sky, but just when he was about to force himself upon her, that plaything again softened down. Just after giving person a little hope, instantly it gave greater loss. ¡°Ai, senior apprentice-brother, still no good.¡± ¡°Xiao Qing, try it again.¡± ¡°Senior apprentice-brother, it¡¯s really no good, there is not much time left, and I¡¯ve to go now.¡± ¡°Junior apprentice-sister, wait a moment, junior apprentice-sister, don¡¯t go ah¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. Xiao Qing grumbled and climbed up, then wearing her gown, she left, leaving behind naked Jin Hua all by himself in this wooden house. And with a blowing of cold breeze, his heart became chilly. Can¡¯t do what all other men can do, then what would happen at tonight¡¯s bridal chamber? With Tuoba Xiong¡¯s aggressiveness and Tuoba Xiaonian¡¯s fierceness, wouldn¡¯t they tore him apart on the spot? How did this happen? Jin Hua who was draughty as a dragon and lively as a tiger in former days, loudly wailed mournfully! Inside this courtyard, behind a dark tree, Ye Chuan evilly smiled. He didn¡¯t mind his happiness was built upon a suffering of Jin Hua, this fucker. Kid, is my Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal good? Ye Chuan¡¯s face was filled with smile, but his eyes however became increasingly cold. For him Breaking Yang Water had truly too small meaning, just acting a bit, he conversely let Jin Hua to fully enjoy the taste the effect of Breaking Yang Water. Now with this appearance, how could this fellow, Jin Hua get married, and also how can he has bridal chamber? The drama is just beginning, and the full-scale drama is about to arrive. Looking at Jin Hua who was crying without tears, Ye Chuan quietly withdrew, leaving with an ill wind. Chapter 23: Junior apprentice-brother, how did this happen? Chapter 23: Junior apprentice-brother, how did this happen? Returning back to Purple Cloud Courtyard, Ye Chuan picked up swarthy God Beating Whip, and slowly sweep the fallen leaves of the courtyard, with leisurely expression. He knew, tonight someone would definitely be unable to fall asleep, and was sure to come looking for him. Sure enough, after about half an hour, Jin Hua came, with two eyes very red, hairs disheveled, and incomplete clothing. Today was his wedding day, but not only he didn¡¯t have any countenance of high-spirited, instead had a miserable looks. And he also didn¡¯t have any of those refined and courteous appearance of former days. Thinking over from different angle, Jin Hua knew that there was only one way left now, which was running away. Now continuing to get married with Tuoba Xiaoniao was truly courting death. Currently he could endure but everyone else, Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Xiaoniao couldn¡¯t endure. The bridegroom that cannot ride a horse was naturally a good-for-nothing, so could he still call himself a bridegroom? Going back on his words and breaking off the engagement for the time being was also courting death. First no need to speak about the fury of Tuoba Xiong, even his father and Third Elder will not let him go easily. Everything he said would be useless, as they would say that usually he was too licentious that caused him to catch a strange disease, thus missing a big matter, so they would definitely confine him for few years even as a light punishment. But he could still have his freedom if he flee down the mountain overnight. Merely, after cultivating freely in the mountain for so many years, and just when he was about to obtain the position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of sect, he was forced to flee overnight, all his great efforts were completely wasted, so he naturally was unreconciled! The more Jin Hua thought, that more he got angry, and if he had to run away, then he wanted to make Ye Chuan suffer, i.e. kill him before fleeing. Today, in Cloud Mist Hall, if it was not for Ye Chuan speaking thoughtlessly about how he (Jin Hua) was secretly in love with and desired her, then all these later matters wouldn¡¯t have happened. Now he was sure that Ye Chuan had deliberately done this. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, you came?¡± Ye Chuan turned around, and excitedly went over to welcome, ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, you are really my brother, even though it¡¯s your wedding night, you still came to see me, this is too touching!¡± Ye Chuan smeared tears and snots on the body of Jin Hua all without exception. You are not able to act anymore, but I like to scheme, so let¡¯s continue! Ye Chuan¡¯s outer appearance was in a total mess, but he was sneering inwardly. Jin Hua suddenly raised his right palm, wanting to slap the head of Ye Chuan to explode, but seeing Ye Chuan with snots and tears, he couldn¡¯t help but hesitated. Not because his conscience found it hard to ruthlessly raise his hand, rather he felt strange. The appearance of Ye Chuan, it seems soft-spoken and timid, and even if he searched high and low within the sect, there was no one more idiot than him, so how could he see through his scheme. What¡¯s going on today, am I being paranoid, blaming him? The complexion of Jin Hua became gloomy, and he decided to clearly understand Ye Chuan, ¡°You brat, today in the hall, wasn¡¯t that intentional? Intentionally making me marry Tuoba Xiaoniao, and letting people of entire sect to see me make a fool out of myself?¡± ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, what¡¯s going on with you?¡± Ye Chuan raised his head, and with puzzled face, he said, ¡°That¡¯s right, it was intentional, I intentionally declared that I gave you Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal as a gift in the presence of all, increasing your face, what¡¯s wrong with that? As for marring Tuoba Xiaoniao, the daughter of Sect Master Tuoba, isn¡¯t this reaching heaven in a single bound, thus justifying you sitting onthe throne of sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, wasn¡¯t this always your desire, don¡¯t tell me that this is also wrong? Although the looks of Tuoba Xiaoniao is a little majestic, but there is an old saying, women with board framework are capable to giving birth easily, that is also a good thing ah!¡± ¡°You¡­¡­¡± Jin Hua hatefully gritted his teeth, but listening to Ye Chuan, he was speechless, and he didn¡¯t know what to say. After carefully thinking, he came to the conclusion that this Ye Chuan was not necessarily trying to harm him. This fellow had always been foolish and timid, although after he returned from God Burial Region, he became a little unpredictable as if he was enlightened, but he still was an idiot who even conveniently gave away Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal as a gift. The Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal left behind by Sect Master ah, he gave away just like that, so how could he be clever enough to act? Misunderstanding, this guy must be trying to curry favor with me, hoping me to take care of him later, but that well-intention provoked a disaster! The heart of Jin Hua began to waver, and became chaotic. His usually extremely intelligent brain, now became unclear. But, the idea of killing Ye Chuan was unchanged, and his killing intent was flourishing more and more. Whether Ye Chuan was intentional or unintentional, this matter had something to do with him, so before running away from the mountain, if he don¡¯t kill him, then how can he vent his hatred? ¡°Oh¡­¡­, I understand!¡± Ye Chuan hit his own head, pretending he couldn¡¯t see killing intent of Jin Hua. And just when the latter was about to raise his hand again to strike, he suddenly cried, ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, I have thought of it, aren¡¯t you not¡­¡­, not capable in that that aspect, and now you can¡¯t do anything about bridal chamber?¡± ¡°How do you know?¡± Jin Hua screamed, and questioningly looked at Ye Chuan while his killing intent flourishing even more. Other than junior apprentice-sister Xiao Qing, only he himself knew about that matter, so how did this Ye Chuan know? ¡°That¡­¡­, many years ago, when Master Sect Master put Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal inside my body, he said that, until I thoroughly refine it, I¡¯m unable to marry, as tendons, arteries and blood vessels will be blocked by the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal.¡± Ye Chuan smiled feeling embarrassed, and sincerely said, ¡°At that time, I was still very small, so didn¡¯t particularly understand and was also not interested to marry. Moreover even if I wanted to marry, I couldn¡¯t afford it. Furthermore Tuoba Xiaoniao fell in love with you at first sight. Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, I¡¯m really sorry. Let me think, at that time, Master seemed to have stated a solution, what was that method¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan stroked the back of his head, pretending to be vexed while pondering. The eyes of Jin Hua shone, impatiently stepping forward, he said, ¡°Junior¡­¡­, no, senior apprentice-brother, quickly think, what was that method?¡± As long as there is a solution, who wants to run away from the mountain overnight? Jin Hua basically wanted to kill, but unexpectedly, he was pleasantly surprised. Now he tensely stared at Ye Chuan. ¡°Very simple, thoroughly refine the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°How is that possible? There is not enough time!¡± Jin Hua shook his head. The power of Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal was too huge, how can it be so easy to completely refine it in a short period of time. ¡°There is two other method, either, you return Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal to me, or, you go to Martial Repository Pavilion to search a manual called Dragon Transformation Secrets Merit Law. At that time, Master Sect Master said that, Dragon Transformation Secrets can rapidly refine Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal. I could do nothing about it, because my talent is limited and am bad at comprehending, but junior apprentice-brother is very talented and intelligent, so I believe you will definitely have no problem.¡± Ye Chuan clearly showed a way to Jin Hua. ¡°Good, let¡¯s go to Martial Repository Pavilion!¡± Jin Hua was overjoyed. It was very hard to get a hold onto Dragon Vein¡¯s Crystal, so he absolutely cannot hand it over, as this was his capital to continuously remain free even after running away from the mountain. After walking two steps, he stopped again, ¡°That¡¯s no good, now it¡¯s already dark, so the strict guard of Martial Repository Pavilion will not let us enter.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I¡¯ll help you draw attention of the guards, and junior apprentice-brother, you can secretly enter, and come out immediately after you succeed. And there will still be the time to go to the bridal chamber after refining the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal.¡± Ye Chuan patted his chest and said with stern righteousness. This brat is stupid, still stupidity truly has its benefit! Jin Hua sized up Ye Chuan, and was a little reluctant to put his hand on him, fearing afterwards he would not find such foolish people, ¡°Good, let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Junior apprentice-brother, please!¡± Ye Chuan laughed foolishly, with the appearance of ¡®was betrayed but still have to count money for them¡¯. Two people walked side by side, and quickly arrived at Martial Repository Pavilion of the Sect. Ye Chuan really didn¡¯t let Jin Hua disappointed, he quickly disguised himself as an uninvited guest and led the guards away. After that relying on his Rank two Xiushi cultivation, Jin Hua sneaked into the Martial Repository Pavilion. After a little while, he really found a manual called Dragon Transformation Secrets Merit Law, then bursting with joy, he quickly withdrew. Outside the door, don¡¯t know when but Ye Chuan had already shaken off the guards and had already returned back. Right now he was holding a torch and was waiting idiotically. ¡°Senior apprentice-brother, thank you, thank you very much. With this merit law, junior apprentice-brother, I am relieved. Some other day, I will definitely reward you generously.¡± Jin Hua was overjoyed, and he reached out to the torch in the hand of Ye Chuan. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother, what are you saying? I am unable to make sense of what you are saying.¡± Ye Chuan confusedly said and suddenly retreated few steps. After that a group of frosty guards appeared in front of Jin Hua. After achieving what he wished by finding Dragon Transformation Secrets, Jin Hua was truly too happy that he unexpectedly didn¡¯t notice many people standing in the dark. ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­, were you pretending?¡± Jin Hua felt ice-cold, and became fully aware that he had fallen into a trap. Before at Purple Cloud Peak, after he killed Ye Chuan, he could have leisurely gone down the mountain, but now, even if he wanted to flee overnight, that would be difficult. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother, if you want any merit law, then you can just ask it. As a Alchemy Hall Master¡¯s noble son and an elite disciple, you are a person with high prestige in the sect, so why did you do this?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then sympathetically said, ¡°Today¡¯s your wedding night, so junior apprentice-brother, you aren¡¯t preparing to have a loving affection with Tuoba Xiaonia, instead came here at Martial Repository Pavilion to steal a merit law, what kind of trouble are you stirring up? Can it be that you want to flee to avoid the marriage, and while at it, smoothly steal several secret manuals passed down in the sect and flee overnight down the mountain? Although Tuoba Xiaoniao is not a beauty like a flower, she is also not that ugly, but you were frightened to this extent? If you are truly unwilling, then you can just break off this engagement ah, there is no need to do this. Ai¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and said with sympathy. All the words he said were reasonable, where is that foolish and dumb appearance of just now? The ears of Ye Chuan moved slightly, hearing a familiar footsteps. Great Elder had also arrived nearby hearing the news, then standing in the dark, he watched quietly. ¡°Brat, were you acting before?¡± Jin Hua stepped forward, and atrociously yelled, ¡°All my sincerity were in vain, I personally came to your door, offered a humble apology and call you brother, but you repay me like this?¡± ¡°Hahaha, what a joke! Sowed discord, no need to mention about bewitching Nan Tiandu to kill me, sending someone in the dead of the night to draw me to the medicine field of Second Elder, attempting to kill me by another¡¯s hand, who was that? When proposing a toast in an apology, who was it again that put in a Breaking Yang Water in the wine? Did you truly believe that you were doing all those things without anybody knowing it?¡± Ye Chuan laughed. Now that Jin Hua this brat was cornered, it¡¯s time to face-off and send him off to his journey. ¡°Breaking Yang Water? You¡­¡­, how did you know?¡± Jin Hua paused, he was both startled and angry. ¡°What do you say?¡± Ye Chuan gave torch to a guard, and raised his hand¡¯s broom. ¡°That¡¯s right, I did it, all of them were my doing. Brat, now that you know all of it, you can just go to hell. With just a group of trivial guards, it¡¯s wishful thinking to stop me from leaving, hahaha¡­¡­¡± The eyes of Jin Hua turned evil, then he simply took a risk in desperation, and suddenly began attacking. Just like a gust of wind, he attacked, attempting to kill everyone to silence them. Puff puff puff, muffled sound of ruthlessly smashing the body resounded in succession. Jin Hua moved swiftly, and his strength was also fierce. After a burst of screams, all twelve guards of Wuzhe realm fell to the ground without exception. The chest of all of them were badly mangled. Right now the complexion of Jin Hua was ferocious, don¡¯t know when, a phantom of fierce tiger had already appeared above his head. All of his punches were several thousand jin heavy, so these group of guards were not his opponent. After obtaining Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal, the strength of his hands had become violent, and the might of his Fierce Tiger Fist also had risen greatly, so these ordinary guards and disciples were simply not his opponent. ¡°Brat, now it¡¯s your turn! Wasn¡¯t it hard to continuously act dumb until now? Unfortunately, that ends here, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Jin Hua laughed heartily, and walked towards Ye Chuan in a large stride, wanting to quickly end the fight. A thick killing intent locked onto the body of Ye Chuan, heavily pressuring him. Rank 2 Xiushi against Rank 5 Wuzhi, absolutely was not an opponent, he was already set to win. It¡¯s not too late to run away from the mountain after killing Ye Chuan. Chapter 24: Swatting to death with a broom Chapter 24: Swatting to death with a broom A cornered beast will do something desperate, with a ferocious complexion, Jin Hua approached Ye Chuan step by step with his killing intent getting increasingly dense, but the complexion of Ye Chuan was still calm, ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, you are not my opponent, just surrender yourself. Resistance is futile, surrendering instead has a gleam of life. I, with my status of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother will approach Great Elder, and request him to spare your life.¡± Pretend, keep on pretending to death! With I, your father¡¯s scheming, little fellow, you are too inexperienced. Ye Chuan sneered inwardly. Until Great Elder reacts, he decided to continue acting. ¡°Hahaha, brat, I will beat you to death!¡± Jin Hua laughed as his anger reached the utmost point, then he suddenly speed up. ¡°Seven steps!¡± Ye Chuan coldly said. ¡°Seven steps? Bart, what are you saying?¡± Jin Hua suddenly stopped his steps, and the energy fluctuation of his body steadily increased. Ye Chuan slightly raised the broom, ¡°What I mean is, take 7 steps, and you will certainly die.¡± ¡°Hahaha, idiotic nonsense!¡± Now the anger of Jin Hua reached past his limit as he laugh, then he quickly rushed towards Ye Chuan. Just took one step, then his laughter ceased abruptly, body trembled and his heart ferociously jumped for no reason at all. ¡°Kill!¡± Jin Hua refused to be taken in by fallacies, and continue to take steps towards Ye Chuan. Took second step, chest felt stuffy and the four limbs felt weak. Took third step, chest began scalding. Took fourth step, severe pain came through his chest as if a knife had stabbed. Jin Hua¡¯s title of genius was not in vain, he gritted his teeth and took fifth step, then filled power in his arms and the phantom of fierce tiger appeared above him once again. Sixth step, the pain in his chest suddenly intensified, and felt as if his intestines, internal organs and blood vessels were being cut off inch by inch. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Jin Hua gave a blood-curdling scream, as pain reached to his soul causing his mind to blank out for a moment. And because of inertia, his body took a step forward which was the seventh step. After that bloody hole appeared in his chest from inside, and Golden Cicada came out of there. In Purple Cloud Peak, Ye Chuan not only saw through the scheme of Jin Hua, and expelled the Breaking Yang Water from inside his body, conversely he plotted against Jin Hua without anybody knowing it, and let Golden Cicada enter the latter¡¯s body together with Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal. And Jin Hua was unable to have sexual intercourse with junior apprentice-sister Xiao Qing, because of the mischief of Golden Cicada within his body, pushing down that plaything¡¯s tendon veins and blood vessel. After refining part of Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal¡¯s power, the cultivation of Jin Hua had suddenly advanced greatly, unfortunately, that was only the appearance. In fact, unconsciously he had already changed into the host of Golden Cicada. In the end, not only he couldn¡¯t get Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal, he was forced to flee overnight, and finally his spirit power and even blood qi essence of his entire body were devoured by Golden Cicada. ¡°I told you, you are not my opponent, and you will certainly die if you take seven steps, still why did you so that?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. Looking at screaming Jin Hua, sympathy appeared on his face, but his eyes were increasingly becoming cold. ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­, you dare to kill me?¡± Seeing Golden Cicada bore out from his chest, Jin Hua was scared out of his wits, and understood that this was the sinister move of Ye Chuan. But even so he still had stern countenance, as he didn¡¯t believe that Ye Chuan would dare to kill him. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, you talk too much.¡± Pallid light flashed in the eyes of Ye Chuan, then circulating the Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, he swatted him with the broom. ¡®Pada¡¯ sound resounded, Jin Hua fell to the ground and stopped breathing. After that golden light flashed, and Golden Cicada with Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal entered into the body of Ye Chuan. ¡°Stay your hand!¡± Great Elder rushed out while shouting loudly, unfortunately, by the time he rushed out, he was already too late. ¡°Ye Chuan, you¡­¡­¡± Great Elder was astounded, although he had already stepped into the realm of Daoist Master (Zhenren), and was known as Cloud Mist Daoist Master, but, the circumstance greatly changed in an instant, and even he was caught unprepared. Who would have thought that, Jin Hua, this genius Rank two Xiushi would suddenly die in the hand of Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother without a single redeeming feature, without being able to strike even once? ¡°Great Elder, sorry, I wasn¡¯t able to stay my hand all at once. I also don¡¯t want this, unfortunately, junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua was simply obsessed to attack.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even looked at the corpse of Jin Hua as if he had merely swatted a fly to death. ¡°Ye Chuan, did you kill Jin Hua with this broom?¡± Great Elder Zhu Guohong had his eyes wide open, although he had witnessed it himself, but he still wasn¡¯t able to believe this. ¡°The power of Dragon¡¯s vein Crystal is very big, and very probably, junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua urgently wanted to completely refine it, so he had suffered internal injuries, and my broom just happens to be the last straw to overwhelm him.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to reveal the existence of Golden Cicada, so he had already found a plausible excuse, ¡°Heaven¡¯s net has wide meshes, but noting escapes it, the fellow was very gifted, but it¡¯s too bad, his heart walked on an evil ways. He incessantly schemed to kill me, seize my Dragon¡¯s vein Crystal and the sect¡¯s position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, ultimately, instead of blessing, he got retribution.¡± Great Elder became silent, just now he himself also had heard everything, including Jin Hua personally admitting everything, so there was nothing to say in this matter. Regardless of whether scourging Ye Chuan or sneaking into Martial Repository Pavilion and stealing merit law, both of them were capital offense. Right now what made him puzzled was, how Ye Chuan who was completely foolish and dumb before become so intelligent? Is it possible that, before he was pretending?¡± ¡°Ye Chuan, was this intentional? You clearly knew that rashly refining Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal is very dangerous, that¡¯s why you intentionally gave it to Jin Hua as a gift?¡± Great Elder asked. ¡°Yes, that was intentional. If I didn¡¯t do that, then I would have died in the hand of Jin Hua sooner or later. Master Sect Master isn¡¯t present, and my cultivation is also weak, so I¡¯ve no other choice but this.¡± Ye Chuan answered the answer he had prepared in advance. Looking at Ye Chuan who have received cold-shoulder and supercilious look from childhood, Great Elder felt sad inwardly, ¡°Ai, this is all my fault, Ye Chuan, I put you to great inconvenience for many years.¡± Great Elder sighed, for so many years, continuously pretending to be stupid to endure other people¡¯s supercilious look and humiliation, Ye Chuan is naturally not simple. ¡°But, although Jin Hua was courting death, but he after all died in your hand, Hall Master Jin and Third Elders will not let you go. Moreover, he was soon going to have a bridal chamber, this¡­¡­, how could Tuoba Xiong drop this matter?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no harm, Great Elder rest assured, I will handle it, and this will not implicate the sect.¡± While Great Elder was worried, Ye Chuan was calm as if this didn¡¯t have anything to do with him. After pausing for a bit, Ye Chuan indifferently said to Great Elder, ¡°But, Great Elder, don¡¯t you think, me and protectors suddenly encountering ambush in a remote mountain very suspicious? Who clearly understood our whereabouts, and who has such a strong fighting force? Furthermore, Three Great Sect¡¯s Competition is about to begin, but in such time, Tuoba Xiong personally came to our sect, moreover he lowered his status and took the initiative to form an alliance by marriage, isn¡¯t this too suspicious?¡± ¡°Ye Chuan, you are saying¡­¡­¡± The gaze of Great Elder flickered, and muttered to himself. ¡°I suspect, there is a rat in our sect, furthermore, in a high position.¡± Ye Chuan paused, and profoundly said, ¡°Master Sect Master went out for many years and still hasn¡¯t returned, so the scramble for power and profit is intensifying within the sect. Great Elder, you also know, who is continuously monopolizing Weaponry Pavilion, and not allowing entrance to anyone other than their trusted followers. Who is continuously peeping on my position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, and secretly adding the fuel to the flames from behind the scene. Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong is settled on this point and taking advantage of this emptiness, he is joining in. He wants to decimate our Cloud Mist Sect, this so-called forming an alliance by marriage is merely a humiliation, strategy to strike our moral that¡¯s all. Marrying that ugly big bird is just to let other people see our sect as a joke. Now it¡¯s my turn, and next, perhaps it¡¯s Great Elder and Zhu Sijia¡¯s turn. ¡°They dare?¡± The complexion of Great Elder became ice-cold, and his killing intent flourished greatly. His family had suffered a calamity in the early few days, so now he had only her granddaughter Zhu Sijia as his family. If anyone dares to a make a move against Zhu Sijia and hurt even her hair, then he would tear him apart regardless of whoever that person was. ¡°The struggle within the sect is always most brutal, there is nothing they dare not to do. Great Elder, we shouldn¡¯t endure any longer!¡± Ye Chuan struck while the iron was hot. ¡°Ai¡­¡­¡± Great Elder sighed and pondered without speaking. Throughout his life, he had gone through unknown number of dangerous storms, and as a matter of fact, he understood clearly, merely he couldn¡¯t bear to oppress his fellow disciples. ¡°Great Elder¡­¡­¡± Seeing Great Elder was still hesitating to make a decision, Ye Chuan sighed, now it was too late to speak any more, as he suddenly sensed other people. In the dark, suddenly sad and shrill loud cry came through, very quickly, a large crowd of people rushed over. ¡°Hua¡¯er, my Hua¡¯er, who killed you? Who¡­¡­¡± Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun threw himself onto the corpse of Jin Hua and howled loudly. Seeing his son¡¯s ice-cold corpse, his face twisted, and his eyes became red as if bleeding. Behind, Third Elder with the group of trusted aide slowly walked over with his face solemn and somber, while thick killing intent undulating in the sky. Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong still hadn¡¯t arrived, so Ye Chuan was about to face the internal strife of sect first, confronting Hall Master Jin Zhikun and Third Elder¡¯s pressure. In the dark, with a long line of torches, heavy footsteps¡¯ sound as if thunder resounded. The entire sect shook, and disciples and guards came over one after another. Chapter 25: Wedding Night Chapter 25: Wedding Night ¡°Who, who killed my son? Stand out for me!¡± Jin Zhikun stood up, then raising his head, he roared. His face was completely twisted just like a brutal Yao beast, while his pair of eyes scanned all around. Swept by his eyes, there was no one among guards and disciples that were not trembling in terror, and uniformly fell back few steps. Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s forte was to plant medicinal herbs with alchemy, and the sect was subdivided into Mountain Patrolling Hall, Tool Smelting Hall and Alchemy Hall, but the most important among them was Alchemy Hall. This Alchemy Hall was the core of Cloud Mist Sect. So Alchemy Hall Master always had a high weight among the elders of the sect. Jin Zhikun had controlled this Alchemy Hall for many years, and already was a big tree with deep roots. And he himself had also broken through to Rank 7 Xiushi more than ten years ago, and currently was just a step away from Daoist Master realm. And now he suddenly flew into rage, completely baring his might, this made all those guards and disciples who had rushed over after hearing the news didn¡¯t dare to look straight at him, and each and every one of them didn¡¯t even dare to even breathe heavily. ¡°I¡¯m here, I kill him.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said, and he calmly stood out directly confronting the pressure of Hall Master Jin Zhikun under the gaze of everyone. ¡°Hahaha, good, good, brat, you really have guts!¡¯ Jin Zhikun laughed while his anger reached the limit, then taking one step forward, ¡®kacha¡¯ sound resounded, as a cyan colored slabstone under his foot cracked. After that with his killing intent sharply rising, he said, ¡°Tell me why, why did you kill my Hua¡¯er?¡± Jin Zhikun eyes were dripping blood, and his current appearance was ferocious enough to frighten people. Right now just a single look from him would be enough to make others shiver all over through not cold. ¡°Because, he should die!¡± These short sentence that came out of Ye Chuan¡¯s mouth thoroughly frightened the public. Good heavens, he dared to speak this way even in front of Hall Master, is he ignorant or mad? Is he not afraid of Hall Master Jin tearing him apart on the spot? The complexion of Jin Zhikun flushed, Ye Chuan¡¯s ¡®should die¡¯ these two words made him so angry that he trembled. He took another step forward, the ferociously said, ¡°Why? Ye Chuan, speak, give me a single reason to not kill you!¡± ¡°Perhaps junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua was discontented with this sect marriage, he wanted to flee overnight down the mountain to avoid this marriage. Unfortunately, even if we forget about the matter of him trying to flee to avoid this marriage, before he went down the mountain, he unexpectedly sneaked into Martial Repository Pavilion to steal a merit law.¡± Ye Chuan looked around and indifferently talked in a kindly and informal fashion, ¡°Soon he has bridal chamber, but he tried to flee to avoid it, without thinking about whether this would invite trouble for the sect or not. Furthermore as an elite disciple, he deliberately broke the law of the sect and stole merit law. These two felonies are enough to behead him publicly. Moreover, stealing is merely stealing, but junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua not only not wake up to see reality, instead, thoroughly unleased a killer move to silence all the witnesses, entire twelve guards died tragic death under his Fierce Tiger Fists. If Great Elder had not arrived in the brink of the time, I fear, I, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother would have also died in his hands. Such extremely evil scum should not die, then who should die?¡± Ye Chuan calmly, in a few words cleared this matter, stirring people¡¯s anger and hatred. Sure enough, the gaze of people that was looking at the bloody corpse of Jin Hua slowly changed. Now there was neither sympathy nor pity. Jin Hua is human, but aren¡¯t those twelve guards also humans? If this scum Jin Hua is not killed, then how could one convince the masses, and what is the use of sect law? ¡°Brat, even if you speak further, today you are dead, kill!¡± Jin Zhikun angrily roared, and without giving Ye Chuan any chance to explain further, he darted towards him. Then above his head in the sky, suddenly a scorpion phantom appeared, and this scorpion flung its tail, sending out a wind blade towards Ye Chuan, accompanied by a fishy-smelling wind. Poison Scorpion Palm! A strike, Jin Zhikun used his famed fatal blow to directly kill Ye Chuan. Wuzhe realm refines body, and once cultivation reach Xiushi realm, they can cultivate magic power to condense all kinds of life origin talisman. Jin Hua¡¯s life origin talisman was a fierce tiger, while Jin Zhikun¡¯s was a poison scorpion. Merely the fishy-smelling wind assaulting the nostrils could make people dizzy, and could even kill people within 100 meters if he wanted. Ye Chuan held his breathe, and rapidly fell back few steps, dodging that wind blade. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Seeing calmly standing Ye Chuan as if nothing happened, Jin Zhikun exclaimed in surprise, and his complexion became even more ferocious. In that move of just now, the most terrifying aspect was not wind blade itself, rather that poisonous fishy-smelling wind. Even for a Rank 1 Xiushi realm disciple, it was very difficult to escape unscathed from this move, but Ye Chuan this brat, how did he accomplish it? ¡°Come back, brat, within three move, I will certainly kill you!¡¯ The eyes of Jin Zhikun shoot flames, then rushing again, he appeared in front of Ye Chuan, then ruthlessly attacked him with his palm. This time, the strength was greater, and that fishy-smelling wind was also denser. The spectating guards and disciples hurriedly fell back, but even after they were ten meters away, they felt dizzy and their chest felt stuffy. The speed of Jin Zhikun was astonishing, but this time Ye Chuan didn¡¯t retreat, rather raised the broom in his hand. This seemingly commonplace swarthy broom, which even if tossed aside, no one would bother to pick up, now in this moment, somehow caused a danger feeling to rise in the heart of Jin Zhikun, and in the space between the eyebrows, he felt extremely painful, as if in front of him was not a broom, rather a treasured sword that could cut through iron as if it were mud. Still he continued his swatting, he wanted to swat Ye Chuan into meat pulp. ¡°Eh, good boy, again, second move, Scorpion Rise!¡± Jin Zhikun screamed once again, and brazenly used even more powerful fatal move. The poison scorpion phantom above his head suddenly lowered its head, then its abdomen deeply sunken down, and it suddenly swelled up next moment, then swung its tail at high speed. In the air, a violent aura suddenly undulated. And the onlookers retreated once again, retreated far away, feeling the danger. Ye Chuan also frowned, and his heart wildly jumped. If it was his most flourishing time, then Jin Zhikun, this kind of small character was not worth mentioning, and there was plenty of ways to break his move easily. But now, there was a too big difference in their realm. The gap between Rank 5 Wuzhe and Rank 7 Xiushi was too big that even his rich experiences were useless. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, don¡¯t get nervous, let me come!¡± An ice-cold voice suddenly came from distance, and a sword light suddenly flew over from the dark. Cold indifference, proud and aloof Nan Tiandu¡¯s speed was alarming, before his voice had completely disappeared, he had already appeared in front of Ye Chuan, and stood there vigorously as if mountain. And he pointed his sharp sword towards the space between the brows of Jin Zhikun with awe-inspiring killing intent. After that Second Elder also arrived there from the dark while carrying medicine hoe, then looking at Jin Zhikun, he coldly snorted, ¡°Humph, three move to kill my Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s grand Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what a big tone? Jin Zhikun, who let you raise a hand to kill? Sect Master is out, so do you really believed that no-one will take care of your lawlessness? Come, I, this old man will fight you, if I cannot kill you within three move, then my name is not Nan Gongren!¡± At the crucial moment, Second Elder Nan Gongren master and apprentice hurriedly came flying, and blocked atrocious action of Jin Zhikun. ¡°Second Elder, you¡­¡± Jin Zhikun gritted his teeth in anger and hatred. Someone getting in the way just when he was about to succeed made him truly sullen. But looking at proud and aloof Nin Taindu as well as Second Elder shielding Ye Chuan, he had no choice but to stop his movement with great difficulty. Nan Tiandu was nothing, but if Second Elder took action, then with his Rank 3 Daoist Master cultivation, he absolutely would be badly battered. Moreover, Second Elder was famous eccentric, also foul and obstinate who was afraid of nothing, so he might even truly unleash a killer move under his temper which was also seriously a pain. ¡°Zhikun, return, although it¡¯s unfortunate that Jin Hua had died, but when all is said and done, he had done wrong first. Whatever one says, the law of a sect must be abided.¡± Third Elder gave instruction, while looking at growing wild Second Elder with gloomy complexion. After that he sized up the body of Ye Chuan with his narrowed eyes as if a poisonous snake, which made people feel unwell from head to toe. Furthermore none knew what exactly he was thinking. ¡°Third Elder, my only son Hua¡¯er cannot die in just this fashion ah, Third Elder¡­¡­¡± Jin Zhikun spat blood in his heart. Seeing the corpse of his son Jin Hua, how could he easily let this matter drop? ¡°Stupid, although Great Elder didn¡¯t show, but he is obviously protecting that brat Ye Chuan in secret. With Great Elder and Second Elder¡¯s support, now we will have to fight to the death with them if we want to deal with Ye Chuan, is it worthwhile? The people of Black Cauldron Sect are coming soon, naturally someone among them will look for a trouble with Ye Chuan, that brat. Moreover who is Tuoba Xiong, let¡¯s see how Great Elder and Second Elder justify themselves!¡± The lips of Third Elder secretly moved, transmitting his voice directly to the mind of Jin Zhikun. Yeah, isn¡¯t there Tuoba Xiong? With his status, temper and cultivation, how can this brat, Ye Chuan easily escape him? Jin Zhikun¡¯s eyes shone, then ferociously glaring at Ye Chuan, he retracted his anger. Just then from the foot of the mountain, suddenly a bustling sound resounded, and flames soared. They had just mentioned Tuoba Xiong, and Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s troops had already arrived, while mightily escorting the bride to the groom¡¯s home with torches. Wedding night, bride came, but bridegroom however was already swatted to death with a broom, what to do now? Now from the top to the bottom of the sect, everyone was worried as this situation was anything but reassuring. Even Great Elder was also similarly having a headache. Chapter 26: Sister Xiaoniao, don’t be scary Chapter 26: Sister Xiaoniao, don¡¯t be scary Very quickly, Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s forces heard the news and rushed over. Seeing Jin Hua¡¯s ice-cold corpse, Tuoba Xiaoniao wailed with tears flowing out her eyes. After that, just like Big Bird spreading the wings and flit across, she threw herself on the corpse of Jin Hua and howled very loudly, ¡°Husband, my husband ah, who killed you, my husband ah¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao cried very sadly. Seeing such broken-hearted appearance of Tuoba Xiaoniao beside Jin Hua, anyone would mistakenly believe that she and Jin Hua had associated with each other for more than ten years. ¡°Great Elder, give me an explanation.¡± Tuoba Xiong walked over, and after looking at people all around with gloomy face, his cold gaze fixed on Great Elder Zhu Guohong. Neither sadness nor anger could be seen on his face, but his this calmness made people even more uneasy. In the sky, the pressure increasingly became stronger, terrifying everyone present inwardly. Grand Sect Master ah, personally escorted the bride to the groom¡¯s home, but ran into this kind of affair, how could he not get angry? Sect Master was not here, so if the other party raged, then who could stop him? Right now Zhu Sijia was also feeling uneasy, now instead of former days¡¯ bold, vigorous, crafty and unruly style, she was standing motionlessly beside Great Elder in silence. Glancing at her curvy figure that would stir up the fire, the eyes of Tuoba Xiong flashed with a touch of heat, but soon after that, revert back to previous overbearing state. As long as one sentence was inappropriate, or the explanation of Great Elder was unable to satisfy him, he would immediately get into a fight! Black Cauldron Sect who had come to escort the bride to the groom¡¯s home was now emitting a threatening aura just like unsheathed sharp sword. Now the guards and disciples of Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t even dare to snub, also began to hold their respective weapons one after another. Instantly the atmosphere became increasingly stifling, and a war might break out at any time. Decorated with lanterns and colored banners, jubilant marriage suddenly turned into a state of pointing blade at each other. ¡°I killed him, if you have any problem, then look for me.¡± When everyone was tense and restless, Ye Chuan unexpectedly stepped forward bravely, and said all the things he had said to Hall Master Jin Zhikun once again, to put it simply, he explained the reason for killing Jin Hua. ¡°Boy, you mean, Jin Hua wanted to flee overnight to avoid this marriage, and before going down the mountain, he sneaked into Martial Repository Pavilion to steal a merit law, moreover he also wanted to silence all the witnesses?¡± The complexion of Tuoba Xiong increasingly sunk, then laughing coldly, he said, ¡°Heh heh, no-one noticed him doing so? How can this matter be so timely, did all of this happen by chance? Even if it was real, Jin Hua had the divine ability to conceal himself from guards and stealthily enter Martial Repository Pavilion, but how come he was not concealed when coming out, and people blocked him by coincidence?¡± Old Ginger is spicier, Tuoba Xiong as a Sect Master had rich experience, quickly detecting the suspicious aspect. [T.L: Old Ginger is spicier: older generation is better/more experienced] The heart of Jin Zhikun who was standing far away stirred, and looking at Ye Chuan, his gaze became even more sinister and fierce. If it was not for Third Elder secretly stopping him with a meaningful glace, he would have immediately rushed out. ¡°Yeah, I also found this strange, how can this be so coincidental? Even if people really block him, with the ability of junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua, he could have easily jump out from the encirclement and swaggered off, but why did he insist on taking a risk in desperation to silence all the witnesses? If it was not for the case of Great Elder arriving in the brink of time, then could it be that he also wanted to kill all the guards?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t refute directly, rather following the tone of Tuoba Xiong, he cunningly dissolve the question of Tuoba Xiong and diverted the attention by stirring up the contradiction. Sure enough, hearing his such words, the complexion of guards present become not very good-looking. Overwhelming majority of guards merely had the cultivation of Rank 1 Xiushi, so if they had ran into Jin Hua this elite disciple who was taking a risk in desperation, then none of them would have the ability to dodge this disaster. Old fellow, if you are thinking of sowing discord in front of I, your father in a few words, then you are too na?ve! Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion was calm, inwardly he however laughed coldly. For an average person, Tuoba Xiong, this Sect Master was experienced, but in front of him who was once a Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he was worth nothing! Thinking to play dirty with me, you are doomed to vanish in a puff of a smoke. Jin Hua¡¯s bad fate was a readily available example. Tuoba Xiong glared at Ye Chuan, and snorting few times, he became silent. Brawny Tuoba Xiaoniao however didn¡¯t care, she jumped and pulled out a long sword from her waist, then rushed towards Ye Chuan, ¡°I don¡¯t care, whoever killed my husband, he have to pay with his life!¡± Swift and fierce sword light, suddenly streaked across in the sky. Although Tuoba Xiaoniao looked brawny, she was swift and fierce, downright a masculine female, and her cultivation was also out of ordinary. A sword stabbed out, her wrist lightly shook, and the drawn out sword blurred, granting Ye Chuan a leeway of death. It was hard to tell if it was real or sham, but now she only wanted to stab the vital part of Ye Chuan¡¯s body. ¡°Senior apprentice-brother, be careful!¡± Zhu Sijia screamed, then she suddenly pulled out her sword. Although she was usually shrewish and unruly, was quite discontented with Ye Chuan, and thinking of how her buttocks was spanked by him, she felt ashamed and angry, but in front of foreign enemy, she would shield him just like Second Elder. But before she could rush out to help, a person had already appeared in front of Ye Chuan. That person pulled out his sword and made a move at one go. ¡®Ding¡¯, the long sword in the hand of Tuoba Xiaoniao snapped into two, and she was forced to fall back several steps in succession by the impact force. Now her complexion became green and again became white. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t need to raise his hand, as Nan Taindu¡¯s sword forced pestering Tuoba Xiaoniao to retreat. ¡°Father, they bullied me, excessively bullied me, now you daughter will not live, I will not live ah¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao threw the broken sword, sat on the ground, then hugging the thigh of Tuoba Xiong, she wailed. No need to mention about her frightening looks, her IQ was also lacking. As if a not grown up child, her IQ was still at the same level of seven or eight years old child. ¡°Great Elder, how are you going to deal with this matter, you say.¡± Tuoba Xiong stared at Great Elder who had remained silent from the beginning, and aggressively said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to give rise to the death battle between our two grand sects, but now this way, there is nothing I can do to justify this to my Black Cauldron Sect. Guests have already arrived, but in the wedding night when wedding ceremony to get married was to be held, bridegroom however is killed. My daughter still hasn¡¯t married, but about to live as widow, isn¡¯t this intentionally making people see us Black Cauldron Sect as a joke, and intentionally shaming us?¡± Great Elder was usually indecisive, but at crucial time, facing Tuoba Xiong¡¯s pressure, he didn¡¯t show any weakness, then secretly circulating his true qi, he slowly said: ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, then you say, how should we deal with this?¡± ¡°Very simple, two choice.¡± Tuoba Xiong coldly glance at the public, then said with a heavy voice, ¡°Either hand over the culprit, your sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan to us, so that we can take him back to Black Cauldron Sect to punish, or this sect marriage continues, let Ye Chuan replace Jin Hua to perform wedding ceremony and get married with Xiaoniao.¡± ¡°This¡­¡­, how is this possible?¡± Great Elder exclaimed, was startled and also angry. If one says, before he had some doubts about what Ye Chuan had said, then now, he was sure that Ye Chuan was right. This so-called alliance by marriage of Tuoba Xiong was in fact deliberately humiliating Cloud Mist Sect. Marrying off such an ugly big bird was obviously to make people of the world to see Cloud Mist Sect as a joke. Precisely because of this, regardless the person marring her was either sect genius Jin Hua or sects Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan, he basically didn¡¯t care! Moreover Tuoba Xiaoniao, this masculine woman was very unlikely to be his daughter, but merely a puppet! ¡°Either war, covering the Cloud Mist Sect with blood, or compromise, Great Elder, you choose it yourself.¡± Tuoba Xiong stared at Great Elder Zhu Guohong, and coldly smiled as the overall situation was within his grasp. At that time, Tuoba Xiaoniao who was still wailing with tears flooding until just now, suddenly raised her head and carefully sized up Ye Chuan who was standing not far away, then her gaze gradually became hot. That look was as if an unintelligent child, after losing her toy was so sad that she wished to die, then again discovered even more interesting and more amusing toy. Don¡¯t, sister Xiaoniao, don¡¯t be so scary! The heart of Ye Chuan jumped, he was not afraid of Tuoba Xiong, this overbearing old man, but seeing the expression of Tuoba Xiaoniao, he truly was somewhat frightened. Other gets married for money, but Tuoba Xiaoniao, this big bird get married for taking life ah! Chapter 27: Wife, don’t go Chapter 27: Wife, don¡¯t go ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± When the atmosphere was stifling and the war was on the verge of breaking out, Fatty Zhao Dazhi shouted loudly, and jolting his buttocks, he rushed over. Now he was covered in dusts, and was gasping for breath, it seems he was very tired after rushing all the way. The eyes of Ye Chuan shone, ¡°Fatty, how are things?¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is wise!¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi looked all around, then whispered something in the ear of Ye Chuan, and handed him a picture scroll. Ye Chuan spread it out and calmly looked at it for a while. ¡°What do you think, did you think carefully? War or continue the marriage?¡± Tuoba Xiong didn¡¯t give Great Elder much time to think, and said in overbearing manner. Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Sect Master Yun Feiwu hadn¡¯t return for many years now, and with various elders of Cloud Mist Sect fighting openly and maneuvering covertly for their benefit, in addition to the assignment of King Da Qing and the disaster of mutated flies, now Cloud Mist Sect was having internal trouble and outside aggression, precisely was at the most vulnerable time to rout it with one attack. Tuoba Xiong exerted himself for so many years to make his Black Cauldron Sect increasingly strong, and he naturally wouldn¡¯t let this good chance slip by to make his sect even stronger. Three fraction¡¯s Great Competition was about to start very soon, and this was a perfect chance to resolutely attack Cloud Mist Sect. Before that Great Competition, he had personally came to Cloud Mist Sect to take a look at the actual situation, and also to examine Ye Chuan, this sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡¯s skill. And while coming, he naturally couldn¡¯t do without a gift, so this sect marriage was his meticulously prepared big gift. If Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t accept this big gift, then he could seize this chance to stir up the trouble, and resolutely suppress Cloud Mist Sect before the Great Competition; accept this big gift, then Cloud Mist Sect would bring disgrace to itself, making all the people of the world to have a good laugh at them, finally making all the disciples of sect not be able to raise their head outside. ¡°We¡¯ll naturally continue marriage, amiability makes you rich, what meaning does the killing have? This sect marriage, we¡¯ll naturally continue!¡± Before Great Elder declared his intention, Ye Chuan stood out with an expression of righteously sacrificing himself to go through fire and water. Was grand sect marriage such a trifling matter, no, this clearly was deliberately humiliating people. A lot of disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had already seen through the vicious intention of Black Cauldron Sect, and seeing Ye Chuan standing out like this, they were starlet. And as for Tuoba Xiong and the experts of Black Cauldron Sect, they however were laughing. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him, they considered Ye Chuan, this brat was sensible. ¡°Big Senior-Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia screamed with anxious expression. With Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s that intelligence and look, who could still remain unperturbed? Ye Chuan standing out and accepting the sect marriage like this, the price was naturally too big. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother after all is Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, at crucial moment, he indeed scarified himself to die as a martyr. The heart of the public was moved, and for the first time, they discovered that this ordinary and mediocre Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Ye Chuan was so affectionate and righteous. ¡°Junior Apprentice-Sister Jiajia, don¡¯t stop me!¡± Ye Chuan decisively said without any hesitation, and after looking at the public, he continued: ¡°As a grand sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, there are some matters I have no choice but to say. Marriage is not a trifling matter, although still not married, but now Tuoba Xiaoniao is already our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s person, even if she died, she will be our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s ghost, so this sect marriage will naturally continue. Although junior apprentice-brother Jin Hua is dead, but we cannot be so cold-blooded and selfish to not even give a status to a person. It¡¯s already late, still guards, go and catch a scarlet rooster, then bring it here to get married with Tuoba Xianiao!¡± The words Ye Chuan had uttered dumbfounded the public. They had believed that Ye Chuan wanted to sacrifice himself and get married with Tuoba Xiaoniao, but who would have thought that, it was basically not that sort of matter. ¡°Fatty, still not going?¡± Ye Chuan gave a meaningful glance. After that Fatty Zhao Dazhi left very quickly, and very quickly, he return back with scarlet rooster in his hand. Seeing that struggling and crying ¡®oh oh oh¡¯ scarlet rooster, the smile on the face of Tuoba Xiong disappeared, and his complexion sunk, then ruthlessly taking a step forward, he said: ¡°Brat, are you courting death, isn¡¯t this intentionally humiliating people?¡± Performing a marriage ceremony with a rooster to get married, this was not humiliating, rather was a direct slap on the face ah! Originally making Cloud Mist Sect to get married with Tuoba Xiaoniao was to humiliate them, but if he seriously let marriage ceremony be performed with rooster, then that was not humiliating them(Cloud Mist Sect), instead getting themselves(Black Cauldron Sect) humiliated. If this was known by the world, then how can the people of Black Cauldron Sect show their face in outside world? ¡°Not performing marriage ceremony with rooster to get married is also fine, merely, this sect marriage¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan looked at Tuoba Xiong as if wanted to advance by retreating. ¡°Won¡¯t do, this absolutely won¡¯t do.¡± Tuoba Xiong declined, then resolutely said, ¡°My Black Cauldron Sect have come a long way, and already declared about this publicly to the world, so this sect marriage absolutely cannot give up halfway. My daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao, boy, don¡¯t imagine that it¡¯s possible to decline her today. Either obediently preform marriage ceremony with Xiaoniao to get married or there¡¯ll be a war! My grand Black Cauldron Sect, how can you humiliate wilfully? If you don¡¯t become sensible once again, then Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s this excellent mountains will have a bloodbath.¡± Tuoba Xiong murderous intent soared, then on the ground under his foot, with a kacha sound, a huge crack appeared. Rank 4 Daoist Master? Great Elder Zhu Guohong and Second Elder Nan Gongren were greatly surprised. With a single glance, they had a tacit agreement and they stood together to jointly deal with the pressure of Tuoba Xiong. Sect Master Yun Feiwu was out, and with their cultivation of Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, they wouldn¡¯t be the opponent of Tuoba Xiong, this monster if fought alone! Great Elder¡¯s complexion became solemn, rapidly circulated secret law to activate the restriction of the sect, then an ancient majestic power fluctuation fluctuated in the sky. Conflict escalated a step further, so a big war was the only option! People¡¯s complexion became even more solemn and tense. Only Jin Zhikun and Third Elder¡¯s face had a cold smile. Now they were unconcernedly looking at how Ye Chuan, Great Elder and Second Elder, these three people would end up! ¡°Want to let my Cloud Mist have a bloodbath, Sect Master Tuoba, what a big tone. Look clearly with you big eyes, what is this? Who is humiliating who?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly spread out that picture scroll of his hand, then raised it high. On the picture scroll, a beautiful girl just like a flower show forth vividly. Her clothes were undone, and she was precisely coming out from a steaming hot large water tub. Her delicate and long leg, fresh towering boobies with water dripping, and furthermore that graceful perk buttocks, all loomed before the eyes of everyone. A picture of a girl out of a bath! The eyes of people shone, soon after that were somewhat puzzled, is this the time to take out such picture, and what does Ye Chuan want to do by taking out such picture? Seeing this picture, the people of Cloud Mist Sect were confused, but Tuoba Xiong¡¯s complexion changed, then he suddenly grabbed the empty air with his big hand to snatch this picture. But To his surprise, Ye Chuan was already prepared, his body as if willow swayed, then quickly jumping back, he dodged. ¡°This is real Tuoba Xiaoniao, Sect Master Tuoba, didn¡¯t you keep on saying that we cannot back out of marriage, now do you absolutely want your real daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao to marry me? Well, let this fake Xiaoniao roll out, make the real Tuoba Xiaoniao come to my Cloud Mist Sect to get married, tonight¡¯s the bridal chamber!¡± Ye Chuan stood on a stone, and occupying the high ground, he said: ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, you thought that Tuoba Xiaoniao hadn¡¯t went out to travel for many years, and nobody knew her true features, so did you believe that you can deceive people as you wish? Just caught this kind of Big Bird and come to fool people, did you truly think that, you can trample my Cloud Mist Sect under your foot and wantonly humiliate us?¡± When overbearing Tuoba Xiong was about to use this matter as a pretext to make a fuss, Ye Chuan finally revealed his scheme in public, and pointed out his shameless aspect. At first, he had only suspected that this marriage was cheating, so he ordered Fatty Zhao Dazhi to investigate secretly. Just as expected, Fatty didn¡¯t let him down, and brought back a picture of Tuoba Xiaobiao¡¯s distinguished face. ¡°What, fake? It¡¯s too much!¡¯ ¡°That¡¯s going too far, Great Elder, let¡¯s go all out!¡± All the people of Cloud Mist Sect made commotion, and the feeling of the masses surged. Tuoba Xiaoniao was ugly then ugly, if the worst come to the worst, then see her less. But this actually was fake, intentionally finding such a fool to insult people, this was too much! ¡°Tuoba Xiong, what¡¯s going on here?¡± Great Elder also was angry, and now his murderous intent was surging. Tuoba Xiong snorted few times, and with a terrifying gaze as if sharp sword, he hatefully glared Ye Chuan. If gaze alone could kill people, then Ye Chuan¡¯s body would have already torn to thousands of pieces. Then looking away, he was about to deny, but a female¡¯s yelling voice suddenly came through the foot of the mountain, ¡°Father, father¡­¡­¡± A gently and graceful woman wearing white robe was hurriedly brought over by a servant girl. She was attractive, looked gentle and quite, and her figure was not inferior in any respect even when compared to Zhi Sijia, but her temperament was completely different. Seeing many people had gathered on the scene, she blushed and seemed like she wanted to say something but then hesitated. She was none other than the woman in the picture. ¡°Xiaoniao, you¡­¡­, how come you are here?¡± The complexion of Tuoba Xiong became green and again white. Just now he wanted to open his mouth to deny, but real Tuoba Xiaoniao came here, making him unable to deny at all. ¡°Father, suddenly a mysterious expert came to the sect, then bursting into a loud laughter, he disappeared. Daughter got worried about your safety, so I came here immediately.¡± The eyes of Tuoba Xiaoniao was slightly red, compared to this fake Big Bird, she was very beautiful, truly one was heaven and other was earth. Seeing real Tuoba Xiaoniao, Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes also shone, then with an evil smile on his face, he stepped forward, ¡°Your Excellency father in law, Tuoba Xiaoniao came just in time, we are already late, so shouldn¡¯t we immediately perform the marriage ceremony to get married, and then bridal chamber too?¡± ¡°Humph, let¡¯s go! Brat, three sects¡¯ Great Competition is right around the corner, at that time, I hope you are still able to laugh!¡± Tuoba Xiong ferociously glared Ye Chuan, when he heard Ye Chuan saying father in law, he was so angry that his chest felt stuffy. Now they didn¡¯t have any face to stay here, so all the people of Black Cauldron Sect angrily swaggered off. Using fake big crow to shame Cloud Mist Sect was one thing, but truly marrying the only daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao to Ye Chuan, that was a great loss, and also a humiliation. Tuoba Xiaoniao with red face was flustered to see Ye Chuan, she nervously turned around and followed up. ¡°Don¡¯t go, there is still bridal chamber, wife, don¡¯t go.¡± Ye Chuan chased a few steps, Tuoba Xiaoniao was so scared that she hurriedly ducked into the crowd of Black Cauldron Sect. Witnessing this scene, Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s people roared with laughter until the satisfaction of everyone. The humiliated people wasn¡¯t humiliated, instead Black Cauldron Sect utterly lost their face this time. Chapter 28: Villain as if Ghost Chapter 28: Villain as if Ghost ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is wise!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is mighty!¡± After looking at the back view of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s forces angrily leaving, Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples stepped forward to give their salutation one after another. This Big Senior Apprentice-Brother who used to be cowardly and mediocre in the past, now made people look at him with new eyes. All sorts of his behaviors of before were indeed acting! Who is Tuoba Xiong? Sect Master of grand Black Cauldron Sect, and also a great expert of Rank 4 Daoist Master! Who dares to obstruct and directly confront his pressure, and also expose his scheme? People asked themselves, and the answer they got was they couldn¡¯t. Tuoba Xiong¡¯s single glance was enough to scare them witless until they couldn¡¯t think anything, and even if they saw through latter¡¯s scheme, they wouldn¡¯t know how to refute. Ye Chuan however accomplished this! The past cowardly and mediocre Big Senior-Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan, after returning from God Burial Valley seemed to have enlightened suddenly. Even in front of Tuoba Xiong, he was calm and composed, and leisurely exposed the latter¡¯s scheme, making this overbearing Tuoba Xiong had no choice but to angrily retreat in humiliation. That last words ¡®father-in-law¡¯ made Tuoba Xiong so angry that he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, immensely satisfying the people. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you¡¯ve truly changed, have become brave and prudent! Good, you did well, this is the proper elegant demeanor of our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s present generation Big Senior Apprentice-Brother.¡± Zhu Sijia also admired in her heart. Now looking at Ye Chuan, her gaze had a trace of admiration. In the face of Tuoba Xiong and Jin Hua¡¯s double pressure, Ye Chuan not only held out against pressure, still checkmated the other way around. This was not something that could be accomplished with merely having courage to not fear death, this required a very able person with guts and strategy. Even if Zhu Sijia was asked to stand in the position of Ye Chuan, then she herself was certain that she couldn¡¯t get the job done this excellently! ¡°In general, this can¡¯t be counted as too good. My wife, Tuoba Xiaoniao came from far away, but she unexpectedly didn¡¯t stay behind, it¡¯s too bad ah, this pitiful Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I am guarding Purple Clouds Peak all alone by myself for unknown years and unknown months. Junior apprentice-sister Jiajia, how about it, will you move to Purple Clouds Peak to be my assistance, and accompany Big Senior Apprentice-Brother? Think about it carefully, Purple Cloud Courtyard¡¯s gate is always wide open for you, regardless of day or night.¡± Ye Chuan smiled. Intentionally or unintentionally he was looking at that pert buttocks of Zhu Sijia. Then raising his hand, he looked at his palm, recalling aftertaste of that night when his palm made contact with that pert buttocks of Zhu Sijia. ¡°Hooligan!¡± Zhu Sijia instantly understood, understood what Ye Chuan was thinking, then she angrily turned around and left in anger and also shame. A girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood, in this period of time, her chest would increasingly bulge, and buttocks would also increasingly get pert. Without needing for her grandfather to say, she knew that that she had to pay attention to her image, and shouldn¡¯t be as wild as before. But, although she could still act as a noble lady in front of other people with some difficulty, still she didn¡¯t know why, acting however was impossible in front of this Ye Chuan. Every time she just had a little good impression of him, he would immediately anger her to death. This won¡¯t do, cannot let him off lightly like this! Recalling that night¡¯s spank of Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia was no long able to calm down. Fatty Zhao Dazhi somewhat hesitated, he wanted to stay behind and say something to Ye Chuan, but she twisted his ear and dragged him away. ¡°This girl!¡± Great Elder shook his head, then he looked at his granddaughter Zhu Sijia walking away in anger, and again looking at Ye Chuan, he seemed to notice something. After that like an old fox, he laughed, and sizing up Ye Chuan, he said, ¡°Not bad, Ye Chuan, you did pretty well this time, finally you have your thoughts straightened out. But, among us cultivators, strategy is useless, cultivation is the crux, so cultivate properly, and from now on, if you have any matters then you can come to me at any time.¡± ¡°Thank You, Great Elder!¡± Ye Chuan slightly bowed. Then Great Elder nodded his head and left. ¡°Ye Chuan, I¡¯m also leaving. Great Competition is right around the corner, so you need to seize all the time you have left to cultivate in seclusion. Moreover in this period of time, you should be more careful.¡± Second Elder as a straight person said straightly. And before his words completely disappeared, he took Nan Taindu and left. In a blink of an eye, the guards and disciples gathered outside Martial Repository Pavilion departed one after another. Only in one gloomy corner, a group of people still gathered. ¡°Third Elder, Hua¡¯er died in vain, should we let it be just like this?¡± Looking at Ye Chuan¡¯s figure leaving by himself, Jin Zhikun gnashed his teeth. Just after Tuoba Xiong and his group left, he and Third Elder had also walked away with a group of their trusted subordinates, as they were unwilling to stay there for even a bit. Ye Chuan, Great Elder and others won, won to their satisfaction, making overbearing Tuoba Xiong forced to leave with his tail tucked between his legs. All the people of Cloud Mist Sect cheered loudly, only the heart of Jin Zhikun and their group were sullen. They believed that they could borrow the hand of Tuoba Xiong to eliminate Ye Chuan, this eye-sore, and firmly suppress the prestige of Great Elder. But who would have thought that, all of their hopes were fruitless again. The expectation of Jin Zhikun and Third Elder however reached the ending they had never expected. ¡°Not let it go, then what do you want? Chase down Ye Chuan and personally kill that brat?¡± Right now the complexion of Third Elder was dark, and with his long and narrow eyes glimmering with pallid light as if viper, looking at Jin Zhikun, he coldly continued on to say, ¡°Lack of forbearance in small matters upsets great plans, endure, continue to endure! Now, the time is still not ripe, still not time to thoroughly shed all pretense of cordiality with Great Elder. Jin Zhikun, you can be angry in your heart, but don¡¯t make any error in our important matter. Otherwise, I, Bai Yanhu might let you off, but that person behind me and you will definitely not let us go easily.¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu looked at Jin Zhikun then leading several trusted aides, he left. Behind, Jin Zhikun who was gnashing his teeth suddenly trembled, and sweated profusely, recalling the figure of that black robed person. Great Elder and Ye Chuan were hateful, and if he confronted against them, at best he would die. But if he angered that black robed man, then even if he didn¡¯t want to live, wanting death would be difficult. Recalling that black robed man¡¯s cause and means, Jin Zhikun suddenly trembled with fear. ¡°Your Excellency Hall Master, Ye Chuan, that brat is on his own, do you want¡­¡­¡± Adviser He Taixu offered a piece of advice while looking at the complexion of Jin Zhikun very cautiously. Silkpants Jin Hua died, so he, the advisor couldn¡¯t help but got worried that if Jin Zhikun blamed him, blamed him that he didn¡¯t protect Jin Hua, then he would suffer tragedy. His heart was continuously in the state of alarm, so making great effort he tried to show his talent to atone for a crime by good deeds. ¡°Good, you go, go and kill him! In any case, you will also not live long. Throughout the year, you were beside young master but was useless than even a fart, so why on earth should I still let you live?¡± Jin Zhikun coldly laughed with ferocious face. ¡°Spare my life, Hall Master, please spare my life ah¡­¡­¡± He Taixu was so scared that he was trembling all over. Hastily knelt down and hugging the thigh of Jin Zhikun, he loudly begged from mercy, ¡°Your Excellency Hall Master, now that brat, Ye Chuan is in limelight, have the backing of Great Elder and Second Elder, and also have the support of the people, so we cannot strike him directly, but secretly striking is easy to handle. Also, we can totally¡­¡­¡± He Taixu stood up and whispered in the ear of Jin Zhikun. ¡°Humph, even Hua¡¯er with the cultivation of Rank 2 Xiushi was not good, do you think you are useful like this?¡± Jin Zhikun glared which frightened He Taixu so much that his legs went limp and grovel on the ground. He Taixu kowtow while begging for mercy and hastily said, ¡°Useful, Hall Master, absolutely useful! Although Ye Chuan, that brat is enlightened, but he after all is merely Rank 5 Wuzhe. As for young master Jin Hua, he must have definitely suffered injury from those twelve guards, and this Ye Chuan took this chance to swoop in!¡± ¡°Good, then you go and arrange it. Remember, this is your last chance! The Yao ghosts of Evil Dragon Abyss are beginning to get restless, if you do not want to become food inside the stomach of Yao ghost, then perform diligently, humph!¡± Jin Zhikun snorted coldly, then leading several trusted aides, he swaggered off. ¡°Yes, this time, I will definitely not fail!¡± He Taixu bowed receiving orders, and looking at the back view of Jin Zhikun, cold sweats immediately flowed down. Every year, the yao ghosts of Evil Dragon Abyss stir up troubles, and they needs to appease them with offering. The offerings of before were best cores, treasured pills, and also exiled degenerated and traitors of sect. It was the most terrible nightmare for the exiled disciples of the sect. Chapter 29: Golden Cicada King Chapter 29: Golden Cicada King Returning back to Purple Cloud Peak, Ye Chuan sat down cross-legged in study, and concentrated on cultivation. Silkpants Jin Hua died, menacing Tuoba Xiong also left dejected, but the matters were far from over. Jin Hua¡¯s father Jin Zhikun would definitely not let this matter drop, and Third Elder in the backstage was also the same. Until the day these two are eliminated, it¡¯s impossible for Cloud Mist Sect to remain calm. Three sects¡¯ Great Competition is also right around the corner. This time Black Cauldron Sect was humiliated, so Tuoba Xiong definitely hate us in his heart, and will definitely retaliate ruthlessly in Great Competition. As a result, the cultivation of Rank 5 Wuzhe is absolutely far from sufficient. Even more violent storm is imminent! If it was another person in this situation, then he¡¯d have definitely felt uneasy whether sitting or standing, but Ye Chuan was calm. Although the cultivation realm was very important, but the Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique he had gotten in the God Burial Valley gave him powerful confidence. He had only condensed half of Heaven Swallowing Talisman, but its strength was already fierce, so if he condensed complete Heaven Swallowing Talisman smoothly, then how tyrannical will it be? With the earnest hope of cultivation, Ye Chuan became immersed in the world of cultivation. A continuous pure worldly spiritual qi, which had passed through the repaired Medicine Spirit Formation and gathered, flowed down and seeped into Ye Chuan from the top of his head, flowing to arms, legs and various bones. And the Dragon Crystal¡¯s Vein he had retaken from Jin Hua was also melting in unprecedented speed, distributing boundless spiritual qi. And now in cultivation, this adequate worldly spiritual qi made Ye Chuan get twice the result with half the effort. And with this quantitative changes giving rise to qualitative changes, slowly, dantian¡¯s qi cyclone increasingly closed together, transforming into a different talisman rune. Sometimes it changed into a fierce tiger with threatening aura, sometimes changed into poisonous scorpion assuming an air of complacency, and followed by a change, changed into a dragon holding its head high and roaring, while swallowing the heaven and plundering the earth. Instantly, Ye Chuan felt light as if he was floating in the sky, and was steadily rising just like riding the clouds and mount the mist. His spirit thereupon rose to the sky, and spirit sense enveloped entire Purple Cloud Peak, then the entire Cloud Mist Sect, and finally the continuous several thousand li Cloud Mist Mountain Range. The instant when his spirit floating reached the pinnacle, he suddenly heard a loud ear-splitting dragon roar, pulling back the spirit of Ye Chuan inside his body. Carefully looking inside his dantian, he saw indistinct dragon form talisman, resembling a soaring true dragon. Heaven Swallowing Talisman! A thought change Dragon, Swallowing Heaven Plundering Earth! Ye Chuan suddenly came to realization in his heart. After that he stretched his hand and swatted out, then the false mountain outside the window made ¡®kacha¡¯ sound, and a three inch deep palm print appeared on the heavy as if mountain huge rock. 18,000 jin! The strength of Ye Chuan advanced by leaps and bounds. When his cultivation reached pinnacle, he could condense 108,000 Heaven Swallowing Talismans, and each one was 18,000 jin. Only condensing a single talisman, his power reached such terrifying level. Carefully looking inside, Ye Chuan noticed that his internal organs had a layer of luster, unconsciously his cultivation had also already broken through to Rank 6 Wuzhe, beginning to temper and refine his internal organs. Making a breakthrough in cultivation, this was the dream of all the cultivators, but Ye Chuan was paying more attention to condense the Heaven Swallowing Talisman. This first Heaven Swallowing Talisman is dragon shaped, or to say, this is because of absorbing the power of Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal, now will the second Heaven Swallowing Talisman have different shape and might? Ye Chuan was excited inwardly, and was itching to explore even more profound mystery, increasingly confirming Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique, this extraordinary cultivation technique, which was beyond compare with the cultivation technique circulated in those secular world¡¯s sects. Unfortunately, only condensing this one dragon shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman practically used up all accumulated power, and the Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal within his body had also already disappeared. So if he wanted to condense second Heaven Swallowing Talisman, then he need to search for another worldly treasure. Just then, a peculiar sensation suddenly came through his body. Ye Chuan just thought in his heart, and Cyan Lotus Lamp flew out, then a continuous warm light shone upon his body. In the middle of this soft light, a golden light was particularly dazzling, and a small Golden Cicada came out from inside this Cyan Lotus Lamp, landing on the palm of Ye Chuan. Compared to before, its size was similar, but don¡¯t know when, now it had more than a pair of wings. It had already transformed into four winged Golden Cicada from two winged Golden Cicada. These four wings were just like four extremely thin blades. Each flap raised four swift and fierce air current, and this could leave behind four clear scratches in even the tough and tensile skin of Ye Chuan. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan was astonished inwardly, even with his current strength, he actually sensed indistinct unable to resist feeling, furthermore his skin was also easily cut open by small Golden Cicada¡¯s wings. After that with his thought, Golden Cicada spread its wings and flew in the air chasing after a mutated fly. Two pairs of wings flashed and that fly was cut into two, then its qi and blood were absorbed by Golden Cicada. After absorbing the blood essence of mutated fly, Golden Cicada got excited, then began to chase after all these mutated flies around Purple Cloud Courtyard. These mutated flies were very hateful, neither could they be driven away nor killed completely. Moreover even after spraying a layer of liquid medicine and repairing Medicine Spirit Formation, they still was unable to thoroughly put to an end to them swarming after medicinal herbs of the mountains. But when the four winged Golden Cicada appeared, these mutated flies clearly panicked and flew around in a mess. Slowly, wherever four winged Golden Cicada flew to, that place would have no flies. After absorbing blood essences of large numbers of flies, four winged Golden Cicada obviously got a bit bigger, and two bulge appeared on its back, showing the faint sign of transforming into six winged Golden Cicada. ¡°Four winged Golden Cicada can deal with any Xuishi, if it transform into six winged Golden Cicada, then in the upcoming Great Competition, wouldn¡¯t it¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes shone, and his initial surprise become excitement, then he immediately sat down cross-legged, and used his thought to instruct this four winged Golden Cicada to drive away, and kill all those mutated flies within Purple Cloud Courtyard. Slowly, the hunting range expanded to the entire Purple Cloud Peak. This mutated fly which he had carelessly tamed had gradually transformed into a legendary Golden Cicada King!¡± Right now, Ye Chuan had eight sharp blade in his hand with additional one in his mouth. At one side he directed Golden Cicada King, and in other side, he cultivated Inch Light Technique. This martial technique once was Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s founder Ghost Hand Medicinal King¡¯s innate technique, so Ghost Hand Medicinal King had one other nickname, Nine Blades. Now, compared to Ghost Hand Medicinal King, Ye Chuan has one more blade, as Golden Cicada King was his tenth blade. Now in the cover of night, he could really kill a person outside thousand kilometer without anyone knowing! Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique, not only could condense Heaven Swallowing Talisman to swallow the heaven with one thought, could still refine yao beast to control the land under the heaven! This is real Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique! Ye Chuan further discovered the might and charm of Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique. In previous lifetime, he was only able to conceal the heaven with his hand, and unknown number of people coveted this Heaven Concealing technique. However, this moment, Ye Chuan understood that compared to this Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique, Heaven Concealing technique he relied on in his previous lifetime was simply nothing. In the end what place is this God Burial Valley, what kind of treasures and secrets are hidden inside the other sealed tombs? After getting a life again, Ye Chuan missed the mysterious God Burial Valley for the first time. Although he once was trapped inside for millions of years, but he had only seen the surface of God Burial Valley, and there were still countless mysteries waiting to be explored. Nine extremely thin blades rotated in full speed, continuously emitting pallid light. And opening his mouth, a blade entered his mouth. Ye Chuan did two things at once. While quietly cultivating Inch Light, this technique which other people wouldn¡¯t even look, the power fluctuation with his body also increasingly got larger, and felt that he was beginning to breakthrough to Rank 7 Wuzhe. Just then, stealthy footsteps sound suddenly came from outside the Purple Cloud Courtyard, someone had carelessly stepped on the dead branch. Who? Jin Zhikun, that fellow couldn¡¯t bear this fast? Ye Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and laughed coldly. Chapter 30: Uninvited Guest Chapter 30: Uninvited Guest The stealthy footsteps¡¯ sounds increasingly got closer, then paused for a moment, and bypassing the front gate, roundabout to back door. Ye Chuan motionlessly sat cross-legged on the floor, pretending to know nothing, but his ears heard everything clearly, and was able to determine the uninvited guest¡¯s height and weight from the sound of footsteps. The uninvited guest was a brawny big fellow. After that Ye Chuan sent out his divine sense to carefully examine him. The uninvited person was indeed brawny, dressed in the standard long robe of Cloud Mist Sect disciple, and his face was covered with a piece of black cloth. But surprisingly, the cultivation of this big fellow was merely Rank 6 Wuzhe, far from being an expert. Sent a trifling Rank 6 Wuzhe disciple to assassinate me, did Jin Zhikun, that old fellow lost his mind, or is he still not putting me in his eyes? This circumstance was somewhat unexpected, still Ye Chuan stood up, and with a flash he passed through the window and came out. Hesitating for a while, uninvited guest climbed over the wall and crept in, then walking on tiptoe, he carefully searched around. Unfortunately, although he was already very cautious, but he accidently knocked down a medicinal herbs storing jar. Careless in handling things, seeing this, Ye Chuan who was secretly following behind him shook his head. Inside study, empty, there was no-one; Inside alchemy house, also empty, only some commonly used pill medicines and medicinal herbs; Inside bedroom, also was no-one; Uninvited guest searched all around the Purple Cloud Courtyard, but gained nothing, so he slowly creased his brows. In the dim moonlight, entire Purple Cloud Courtyard was empty without the sight of any person. ¡°This junior apprentice-brother, are you looking for me?¡± Even after secretly following behind him for a while, this uninvited guest was completely unable to perceive him. So shaking his head, Ye Chuan appeared behind him and patted the shoulder of this uninvited guest. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Uninvited guest jumped up along with a screamed, then turned around. Seeing Ye Chuan who had mysteriously appeared behind him, he couldn¡¯t help but shivered all over, ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I¡­¡­¡± ¡°Which Hall are you from, what is your name?¡± Ye Chuan asked, and his eyes suddenly became threateningly sharp while looking at this uninvited guest. Even the gaze of Great Elder was not this terrifying, and in that instant, he trembled with terror, and replied instinctively, ¡°Alchemy Hall, Gongsun¡­¡­, Gongsun Ye.¡± ¡°Good, your name is pretty good, I like it. Now tell me, who asked you to kill me?¡± Ye Chuan asked, and those terrifying gaze revert back to normal. Then with an evil smile on his face, he added, ¡°No, this is out of question, a scaredy-cat cannot kill. Whether you know or not, the person who made you come here wants to harm you, or wants to kill you by another¡¯s hand.¡± ¡°No¡­¡­, not, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I don¡¯t, I¡­¡­¡± Uninvited guest Gongsun Ye stuttered, and the words he wanted to speak didn¡¯t come out properly due to nervousness. Tall and strong, compared to Ye Chuan, he was still a head taller, but seeing Ye Chuan, he was trembling continuously just like a mouse seeing a cat. ¡°Return back and cultivate properly, killing you is more like losing face.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then circulating the Heaven Swallowing Talisman of inside his body, he swatted out. ¡®Peng¡¯, brawny Gongsun Ye was sent flying just like a kite with a broken string, and heavily fell outside the wall. After screaming, he struggled to crawl up and ran away in a panic. Inside the perimeter wall, Ye Chuan clapped his hands, and return back to the study to continue cultivating. Evening wind whistled with bone piercing chill in the air. Right now it was precisely the darkest and coldest time just before the dawn. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t think much of this matter as if he had just driven away a fly. But not long after sitting down, the sound of stealthily footsteps came through outside once again. Still coming? Ye Chuan coldly snorted. Outside Purple Cloud courtyard, an uninvited guest had really come again, but not that brawny Gongsun Ye, rather a stealthy short person, and his cultivation was also merely Rank 6 Wuzhe. This guy was noticeably more flexible and jumped over the perimeter wall without much hesitation. After he carefully examined him, Ye Chuan was too lazy to come out this time, so with a thought, Golden Cicada King while driving away a large swarm of mutated flies came over. Deep in the night, he let Golden Cicada King and those swarm of flies approach this uninvited guest without a trace. Only after these flies flew in front of him, this uninvited guest discovered them, and just when he exclaimed in surprise with his mouth wide open, immediately this swarm of flies swarmed around and completely covered him. Very quickly, this uninvited guest fell down to the ground losing his footsteps, and rolled away while wailing mournfully throughout the way. Before he could even see the figure of Ye Chuan, he was already injured heavily. ¡°Who said that these mutated flies can only destroy without a single redeeming feature?¡± Hearing that wailing mournfully sound of that short person, Ye Chuan laughed wickedly, then he suddenly thought of a plan. After Second Elder bustle about in mountains for several days, the number of flies in mountains had become less, but was still not completely eliminated, and these flies were still nibbling away the medicinal herbs. How to deal with these hateful flies, this had become a great headache of all the people of Cloud Mist Sect. At first, Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t have any good method, but after Golden Cicada transformed into four winged Golden Cicada King, this problem was readily solved. After these mutated flies were driven away, Purple Cloud Peak would be able to restore to its original appearance, but now, Ye Chuan suddenly thought of an even better plan. After driving away these mutated flies to a place where they could be controlled easily, they would become best guards, who would be more useful than the current group of guards! Ye Chuan immediately put his thoughts into action. He instructed Golden Cicada King to fly all over the mountain, and gather together those mutated flies. Slowly, the number of mutated files became more and more outside the Purple Cloud Courtyard. Didn¡¯t matter whether these mutated flies hid in stone cracks, shrubs, treetop, and so on place, once Golden Cicada King appeared there, they would suddenly flutter all over the sky. After an hour, the forcing out of mutated flies went smoothly and easily, and at the same time, Purple Cloud Courtyard received several uninvited guests. But all of them were bitten away by the swarm of flies without exception. Without Ye Chuan having to raise his hand personally, all the uninvited guests ran away in panic, but slowly, he couldn¡¯t help but became increasingly suspicious. Merely in one night, so many uninvited guests came, but none of them were strong, this was really too strange. Ye Chuan sat cross-legged inside the study, and his spirit quietly came out, then under the protection of Cyan Lotus Light, he slowly drifted out while looking around carefully. After breaking through and reaching Rank 6 Wuzhe, and completely condensing a Heaven Swallowing Talisman, his sprit was obviously a lot stronger than before. But just after his spirit came out, Ye Chuan felt the change in the world and danger. East, towards the direction of Black Cauldron Sect, baleful qi was still soaring; South, endless sea was till dangerous; North, towards the Evil Dragon Abyss, an aura that would make people feel jumpy was coming, and compared to first time he had used Spirit Nightwalking, it was clearly much more dangerous. This gave people a feeling of as if extremely frightening evil ghost was about to come out from deep inside the Evil Dragon Abyss! Very strong yao qi. What secret is hidden inside the Evil Dragon Abyss? Ye Chuan became stern, even with his experience as a Heaven Concealing Great Sage, the aura coming through the Evil Dragon Abyss shocked him. In the spirit form, he didn¡¯t dare to casually wander outside at random, so he just circled over the Purple Cloud Courtyard and hurriedly return back. Then immediately merged back with his physical body. After that he sensed a trace of familiar aura at the foot of the mountain, this aura was a bit similar to the aura of Adviser He Taixu. And just when he was about to sense more carefully, that aura however disappeared. It¡¯s him again! Can it be that, all of this is the doing of He Taixu, that adviser? What does he want?¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s gaze became cold, then immediately standing up, he rushed towards the foot of the mountain. Unfortunately, when he reached the foot of the mountain, not even the figure of a single person was there. Chapter 31: Paradise Realm Chapter 31: Paradise Realm Ye Chuan carefully searched the foot of the mountain, and after an hour, even when the first glimmer of dawn began, he didn¡¯t find any trace of adviser He Taixu, however he coincidently met Fatty Zhao Dazhi. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, why are you here so early in the morning?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi asked with unexpected written all over his face. ¡°I came down the mountain to get rid of mosquito, how about you?¡± Ye Chuan sized up fatty who rarely wake up early in the morning, and smiled evilly, ¡°Just coming up the mountain early in the morning, fatty, which little junior apprentice-sister you took a fancy upon, and took her to which corner last night to hit foggy water?¡± [T.L: to hit foggy water: I translated this literally: meaning those who go out to make love at night (something like this)] ¡°I did not, how can I have that kind of good fortune? Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I¡¯m here to look for you, last night¡­¡­¡± Fatty mumbled, then stealthy looking all around, he whispered beside the ear of Ye Chuan, ¡°Big Senior-Apprentice Brother, haven¡¯t you heard about Paradise Realm?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. ¡°Last night, just after the forces of Black Cauldron Sect left, some words spread around inside the sect.¡± Looking at the face of Ye Chuan, Fatty Zhao Dazhi paused for a bit, then continued whispering, ¡°It is rumored that Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you¡­¡­, when you went out to pick medicinal herb before, you accidentally entered a legendary Paradise Realm, and there you obtained an inheritance of ancient Daoist Immortal as well as many hidden treasures. Precisely because of this, you suddenly got enlightened and your cultivation also advanced greatly. Furthermore whoever obtains those hidden treasures from you, they would be able to reach the sky in a single bound. As soon as this news came out, it immediately spread throughout the entire sect.¡± ¡°Paradise, hidden treasures?¡± Ye Chuan pricked his brows, suddenly understanding everything in his heart. Now, he finally knew why so many uninvited guests turned up without being invited yesterday. As it turned out, they were not the so-called killers, rather were nobodies that came to seize nonexistence hidden treasures. No wonder their cultivation was not up to much. Wrong! First bewitch ordinary disciples to come and disturb my quiet cultivation, then when I lower my guard after I got accustomed to it, secretly sent an expert to assassinate me. This way they can frame ordinary disciple to handle this case. Truly a venomous scheme! Ye Chuan¡¯s thoughts as if electricity, suddenly shocked him. Now he became aware that a murderous intentions were hidden behind this rumor. ¡°He¡­¡­Tai¡­¡­xu!¡± Ye Chuan said word by word, and his eyes flashed with cold light. At this moment, he found that He Taixu, this advisor was far more vile compared to Jin Hua, that silkpants! He believed that after Jin Hua died, He Taixu, this advisor beside him would disappear on his own initiative. But unexpectedly, this fellow not only didn¡¯t repent, instead further intensified. ¡°He Taixu? I was thinking how such rumor could spread widely throughout the sect overnight, as it turned out, that old fellow was playing tricks behind the scene.¡± A hint was all that was needed for Fatty Zhao Dazhi to understand what was going on. This person looks somewhat bloated, but his mind was extremely sharp. After that looking at Ye Chuan with worried countenance, he added, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, as far as I know, there are many disciples within sect who are secretly tempted, even to the extent that some of the Xiushi realm disciples are ready to make trouble. To the best of my knowledge, the disciples of Alchemy Hall are most tempted. Moreover it is rumored that someone had secretly made a promise of high reward that if someone was able to obtain even a clue of Paradise Realm from your body, then he would be immediately rewarded with earth grade cultivation technique. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you must be careful this time, if you can then it¡¯d be better to move and stay together with Second Elder.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi was deeply worried and sick at heart. Now in Cloud Mist Sect, a rumor was continuously circulating all over. In the vast Cloud Mist Mountain Range, there was a cave-dwelling left behind by ancient time¡¯s hidden Daoist Immortal. And whoever enters this cave-dwelling, they would obtain the inheritance of this ancient Daoist Immortal¡¯s legacy. This kind of legend, no one knows how many such legends had circulated generation after generation in Cloud Mist Sect, so when adviser He Taixu secretly spread this rumor, lots of people were half believing, half doubting. But thinking about what Big Senior Apprentice-Brother used to be and his current appearance, they couldn¡¯t help but believe. When confronting menacing Tuoba Xiong and insidious silkpants Jin Hua, Ye Chuan valiantly fought the battle of wits, and conversely foiled their scheme resolutely. This exceptionally excellent performance made people admire him, and also won the deep respect of people, but also left a hidden trouble. Although Ye Chuan had already explained publicly that he had accidentally eaten a mystical fruit, and then his cultivation advanced greatly, but apparently, people believed in the rumor spread by He Taixu, rather than believing his explanation. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be careful, fatty, thanks a lot.¡± Ye Chuan reached out his hand towards his own body and took out a bluish-green pill, then handed it over to Fatty Zhao Dazhi, ¡°I didn¡¯t prepare anything good as I came out hurriedly this time, so take this Marrow Cleansing Pill.¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, this¡­¡­, isn¡¯t this the same Marrow Cleansing Pill that was given to you by Jiajia under the instruction of Great Elder? This won¡¯t do, I can¡¯t accept it.¡± Fatty cried out in alarm and shook his head exerting all his strength. Although Cloud Mist Sect was good at refining pills, but as for the real good things, even the inner disciple of sect wouldn¡¯t get them even if they wanted. This Marrow Cleansing Pill could build foundation, cleanse tendons and subjugate marrow, was a rare black grade pill. In the mundane world, this pill would cost at least 820 silvers. So this kind of generous gift, Fatty didn¡¯t dare to accept easily. ¡°Take it, this kind of pill is already useless for I, Bing Senior Apprentice-Brother, so keeping it with me is only a waste.¡± Ye Chuan placed this pill in the hand of fatty Zhao Dazhi and turned away. ¡°Thanks a lot, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± Smelling the faint scent of Marrow Cleansing Pill, fatty Zhao Dazhi became wild with joy, then happily turned around and left. He couldn¡¯t wait to enter seclusion training to refine this pill. After refining such a first-class Marrow Cleansing Pill, his cultivation would definitely advance greatly, even to the extent that he was hopeful to surmount the bottleneck and break through to Xiushi realm, becoming an elite inner disciple! Ye Chuan speed back to the Purple Cloud courtyard. But he didn¡¯t cultivate in seclusion like usual, just carried the boom nicknamed God Beating Whip, and strode down the mountain. Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir, when it was time to raise the hand, he should raise hand! After understanding all of these were He Taixu, that fellow¡¯s sinister plot, Ye Chuan naturally wouldn¡¯t sit still waiting for death. Otherwise, after driving out one wave of uninvited guests another wave would come, like this, afterwards, not only he wouldn¡¯t be able to cultivate, he would also needs to be on guard against expert¡¯s invasion all day long. Even if large swarm of mutated flies under the command of Golden Cicada King stopped uninvited guests outside the door, but he cannot reckon with all eventualities. Mountain peaks stood in great numbers in Cloud Mist Sect, and most of a bit stronger experts have their own mountain peak to cultivate. Each halls were also built on different mountain peaks with dense spiritual qi. Right now Ye Chuan holding God Beating Whip directly came to Cyan Wings Peak where Alchemy Hall was located. Rumor was originated from Alchemy Hall¡¯s He Taixu, and the disciples of Alchemy Hall were also the most convinced and most interested, so if he wanted to answer this disturbance, he naturally had to start with Alchemy Hall. Early in the morning, several ordinary disciples were sweeping the front courtyard of Alchemy Hall, and there stood a group of guard in front of the door. The leader of this guard group instantly recognize Ye Chuan, and he stepped forward to block his way, ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother? Why did you come here?¡± In the past, Ye Chuan rarely come down the mountain, and throughout the year, he would cultivate in seclusion in Purple Cloud Peak, but now suddenly seeing him here so early in the morning, people were very surprised. ¡°Five days of time have reached, looking for someone to exchange pointers.¡± Ye Chuan answered. Today, time to challenge had arrived again, and someone just happens to come to his door. ¡°What¡­¡­¡± The leader exclaimed. Ye Chuan coming down early in the morning was already something that was rarely seen, but taking the initiative to come and challenge, this was unprecedented. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you¡­¡­, who do you want to challenge?¡± ¡°You, let¡¯s start with you!¡± Ye Chuan smiled evilly, and not waiting for this leader to respond, he swung the broom after circulating Heaven Swallowing Talisman on it. Although the cultivation of this guard leader was decent, had already reached Rank 6 Wuzhe, but he was basically unable to resist the broom of Ye Chuan which was as heavy as if Mount Tai, and was directly swatted to ground. Seeing their leader had instantly turned bloody, the guards and disciples present there gasped, and everyone had their scalp feel numb, and they didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. ¡°Hereafter remember, when Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I what to go wherever, and want to look for whoever, don¡¯t get in the way.¡± Ye Chuan clapped his hand, then entered into the Alchemy Hall with God Beating Whip in his hand. Behind, seeing the back view of Ye Chuan, guards as if awakening from a dream hastily went to inform. Chapter 32: The rule of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Chapter 32: The rule of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Alchemy Hall, Spring Breeze Pavilion. In a room with dense spiritual qi, Gongsun Ye was sitting cross-legged on the ground while treating his injuries. Last night, after he was sent flying by a palm of Ye Chuan, the injuries he suffered were not light, and after returning to Alchemy Hall, he continuously spat blood. Moreover even after tossing about till mid-night, he didn¡¯t get any better, so that very night he came to Spring Breeze Pavilion¡¯s secret cultivation room, hoping to quickly heal his injuries with the help of dense worldly spiritual qi. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, please stop! Ah¡­¡­, pa¡­¡­¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you cannot go any further, pa¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Just at the daybreak, Gongsun Ye suddenly woke up because of strange sounds. A series of ¡®pa¡¯, ¡®pa¡¯, ¡®pa¡¯¡­sound frequently came through, which was accompanied by light footsteps sounds and guards wailing mournfully. Who is so daring to actually come to Alchemy Hall to cause trouble? Doesn¡¯t he want to live? Gongsun Ye shook his head and discarded the thoughts of going out to watch the excitement, now, he needs to focus on healing his injuries first. Gongsun Ye didn¡¯t want to meddle, but, the footsteps sound increasingly got nearer, directly approaching towards his cultivation room, seemingly was specially coming for him. ¡°Who?¡± Gongsun Ye was surprised, he didn¡¯t know why but he felt jumpy, and instinctively felt restless. Alchemy Hall was core and important place of Cloud Mist Sect. In these last few years, only the disciples of Alchemy Hall bullied others, and the people of other Halls had never dared to act wildly in Alchemy Hall, much less bullying. Peng, that person outside the door of private room directly kicked open the door. Then a familiar and again unfamiliar face appeared in front of Gongsun Ye. ¡°Boy, we meet again.¡± Looking at the surprised and restless Gongsun Ye, Ye Chuan laughed evilly, ¡°Not bad, your injuries have recovered quickly, now you can take some hits.¡± ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother?¡± Gongsun Ye was greatly surprised, he had never thought that the person who had come was unexpectedly Ye Chuan, ¡°You¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°Nothing, it¡¯s just five days have passed, so I am looking for you all to have a contest, and also to look at your cultivation, to know whether you are getting lazy or not. As a Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I¡¯ve too much things to do, not only do I have to cultivate, I even have to worry about you guys.¡± Ye Chuan stepped forward, and his smile became increasingly brilliant. And this harmless looking smile however made Gongsun Ye even more jumpy. He was obviously very familiar with Ye Chuan¡¯s this face, however it again seemed very unfamiliar too. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan had always maintained low-key and cultivated on the mountain, but when did he begin to easily come down the mountain and moreover took the initiative to challenge other to a battle? Gongsun Ye felt anything but reassuring, he continuously retreated back, and shrinking back to a corner of a wall, he stuttered, ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, yesterday, I¡­¡­¡± ¡°Forget about the past matters, I¡¯m here today, just to have a contest with you, nothing more. Don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t die if you lose, at most only your arms and legs will be broken.¡± Ye Chuan stepped forward, and smiling evilly, he began lashing his broom without giving any chance to Gongsun Ye to speak. A sad and shrill mournful wail, suddenly spread far and wide. The guards and other disciples of Alchemy Hall that had rushed over after hearing the news were trembling while standing outside this private room, and not even a single of them dared to rush in. And only after Ye Chuan came out with broom in his hand, and had already went faraway did they entered the private room. There they saw Gongsun Ye was already lying on the ground with his arms and legs continuously twitching. There no danger to his life, and there was also no arms or legs missing, merely every joints on his body was dislocated. What a great method! Is this person really former days¡¯ cowardly and timid Big Senior Apprentice-Brother who was bullied by everyone as well as who did not dare to appear in public? The complexion of everybody became pale, and heart became stern. At this time, sad and shrill wailing mournfully sound once again came through far away. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t go far away, rather went to other places of Alchemy Hall. Following the aura of wounds left behind by mutated flies, Ye Chuan smoothly found all other fellows that had sneaked into Purple Clouds Peak yesterday, then with the pretext of challenging them to have a content, he mercilessly taught them a lesson one after another. As expected, all the unbridled fellows that had sneaked into Purple Clouds Peak yesterday were the people of Alchemy Hall. Only after teaching all of them a ruthless lesson in public, Ye Chuan swaggered off. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother changed, he really changed! Whoever wants to bully him again, they don¡¯t have eyes, and conversely inviting himself a disgrace! The guards and disciples that had rush over after hearing the news slowly understood what¡¯s going on, and became well aware of the entire process. Seeing Gongsun Ye and other people¡¯s miserable state, a lot of people secretly felt relief, fortunately last night they didn¡¯t take action rashly. Otherwise, not only they wouldn¡¯t have obtained that so-called hidden treasure, conversely they would have been injured and humiliated in public. From the beginning to the end, Ye Chuan said nothing about the matter of yesterday, not a single word of revenge, but openly challenged them to a battle with his Big Senior Apprentice-Brother status. There were many Xiushi realm experts among guards and disciples, but they didn¡¯t have any excuse to prevent this, so they helplessly watched Ye Chuan swaggering in, carrying out his retaliation and leave. This news quickly spread to the high levels of Alchemy Hall. In the audience hall inside Alchemy Hall, Hall Master Jin Zhikun was sitting on the high place with gloomy complexion, and the complexion of standing underneath Advisor He Taixu was nervous and unsettled. ¡°He Taixu, in the end, can you do it or not?¡± Jin Zhikun was angry, and his face was so black that it seems black ink would leak out soon. And his killing intent became increasingly dense, ¡°If this goes on, who will dare to go to Purple Clouds Peak, and how will you fish in troubled water to certainly kill him?¡± ¡°I can, absolutely can. Your Excellency Hall Master, just give me a little more time, and Ye Chuan, that brat will not be able to avoid death.¡± He Taixu wiped the sweats from his forehead, and due to the sweating, his long robe was already drenched with cold sweat, and mentioning about Ye Chuan, he was frightened as well as angry. He had considered thousands if not ten thousands method, but he had never expected Ye Chuan to counterattack this swiftly and violently. All of his schemes and follow-up¡¯s deploys were instantly thrown into chaos by the counterattack of Ye Chuan. Is this truly former days¡¯ that anyone can bully Sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan? No, this is not a young disciple, clearly is a great monster that have lived for millions of years and have the courage to kill decisively ah! He Taixu was howling in grief in his heart, he hated Ye Chuan to the marrow of his bones, but again was also afraid. Hate and fear was intertwining in his heart. ¡°Tomorrow, I want to see the result. He Taixu, I am giving you one day time again, the yao ghosts of Evil Dragon Abyss behind the mountain are already too impatient to wait, you can do as you see fit, humph!¡± Jin Zhikun snorted coldly, then standing up, he walked away, leaving behind only He Taixu standing all alone while sweating profusely in the spacious audience hall. When He Taixu and Jin Zhikun were scheming in the audience hall, inside Purple Cloud Courtyard, Ye Chuan sent people to call over Fatty Zhao Dazhi to discuss the follow-up countermeasures. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, today you really vent off our anger! From the past till the present, only Alchemy Hall bullied other people, but now, it¡¯s finally Alchemy Hall¡¯s turn to taste this flavor.¡± Seeing Ye Chuan, Fatty Zhao Dazhi was very respectful, now he truly was sincerely convinced. If he was in the place of Ye Chuan, then he would have already went to the place of Second Elder to take refugee, where would he find the courage to conversely visit them to fight? He couldn¡¯t even think about this! ¡°This is just the beginning, fatty, help me spread this, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother has many cultivation techniques and medicine pills, and he is willing to give rewards to whoever that soundly beats that old fellow He Taixu. Meet once beat once, beat once receive reward once, and the more ruthless the beating, the bigger the rewards!¡± Ye Chuan instructed. ¡°What? Big-Senior Apprentice-Brother, this¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi had his eyes wide open, and had astounded expression on his face. After these words spreads outside, if Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t able to give promised rewards, then there definitely will be great chaos. Could it be that Ye Chuan really got that legendary Paradise Realm¡¯s hidden treasures? Ye Chuan had already expected this question of Fatty, and he indifferently said, ¡°Fatty, you only need to spread this secretly, no need to care about anything else, now go!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi nodded his head and left jolting his buttocks. Although he was not good at combat, but in terms of sowing discord and demagoguery, this kind of handiwork, he was the best. ¡°Heh heh, want to play dirty with me?¡± Ye Chuan sneered, dealing with He Taixu, this treacherous old dog, he simply disdained to do the job himself. Now he sat cross-legged in the study to cultivate, while waiting for good news of his countermine. As once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he had experienced unknown numbers of storms in his previous life, and many people had also schemed against him, but later all of them died. And here after rebirth, silkpants Jin Hua thought to scheme against him, result, he also died. Now He Taixu was not resorting to other ways, but resorting to scheming, wasn¡¯t this just courting death? Chapter 33: If junior apprentice-sister has any matter then remember to look for me Chapter 33: If junior apprentice-sister has any matter then remember to look for me The information of Ye Chuan visiting to challenge, and soundly beating Gongsun Ye and others rapidly spread widely throughout the entire sect. And those people who were originally ready to make trouble and were waiting for the outcome of people who had went to scout Purple Cloud Peak after hearing the former rumor, all couldn¡¯t help but retreated one after another, and selected the option of wait and see. That very evening, peace restored on Purple Clouds Peak, and there no longer was any uninvited guests. And in the next day, people again began desire strongly, as an astonishing information spread. Early in the morning, Ye Chuan again went to give a good thrashing to Gonsun Ye and others. Yesterday, he beat them in the name of the challenge once every five days, and this time, he beat them in the name of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother inspecting the cultivation circumstance of various disciples, and said that this was the rule of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. And when He Taixu and other experts hurriedly arrived there, Ye Chuan had already gone far away. He Taixu hatefully gritted his teeth, and the complexion of Hall Master Jin Zhikun behind him was even more unsightly. As for Gongsun Ye and other people who had recklessly taken action, they however wanted to cry. They wished to cry but no tears came. Beating once still not vented off his anger, so he beat again next day, then what about third day? Doesn¡¯t he want to let people live? Gongsun Ye and others were incomparably regretting now, if they had known this would happen earlier, then even if Purple Clouds Peak had a gold mountain, they wouldn¡¯t have dared to move ah! After this news spread, the heart of people who were itching to take action got cold, and all the more didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. Many people sobered up and began to understand that this was the crafty plot of Advisor He Taixu, nearly making them fall into the trap and take advantage of them. In just this way, the crafty plot of He Taixu was left unfinished. He Taixu who was smug and believed himself infallible in the beginning, very quickly became greatly disappointed. Ye Chuan¡¯s means were direct and violent but was very effective. Now the mastermind hiding in the dark, He Taixu was dejected with knitted brows, but, his sufferings had only just begun. An even more startling gossip suddenly spread throughout the entire Cloud Mist Sect. It was rumored that, whoever give a good thrashing to He Taixu, that person could go to the place of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan to receive a portion of rewards. The more ruthless the beating, the bigger the rewards. With regarding to the rumor about him obtaining the hidden treasures of Paradise Realm spread by He Taixu, Ye Chuan neither denied nor admitted it in public, he merely counterattacked mercilessly, and that¡¯s all. The rumor spread by Fatty Zhao Dazhi spread around the entire sect, and many half believing, half doubting people immediately thought to take action. Obliviously, the popularity of He Taixu, this old man who had tyrannically abused others with silkpants Jin Hua by his side in former days was not up by much, very soon, the news of him getting thrashed soundly by a masked person when he went out to stroll spread out. People were still discussing about this spiritedly, and when they were doubting whether this news was true or false, Ye Chuan however welcomed an uninvited guest in Purple Clouds Courtyard. A masked person had come to receive the reward. ¡°Are you here to receive the reward?¡± Ye Chuan sized up this masked person before his eyes, then with an evil smile on his face, he said, ¡°Rest assured, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I live up to my words. Reward is already prepared, but how can you prove that you have taught that old man He Taixu a lesson?¡± The entire body of this masked person was covered with baggy black robe, and black cloth mask covered the face, only exposing two sharp big eyes. And that overbearing gaze of this person emitted killing intent. Ordinary person wouldn¡¯t dare to look straight at this person, but don¡¯t know why, seeing the sizing up gaze of Ye Chuan, the heart of this person couldn¡¯t help but got somewhat perturbed, ¡°Is it necessary to prove? You can go down the mountain and ask any random person, isn¡¯t this enough?¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do, I can know whether He Taixu was beaten or not, but that doesn¡¯t prove that you were the one to beat him.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, ¡°Unless, you took off that black cloth, and let me see which man of noble character you are, this is also a good way to prove.¡± ¡°Humph, do you want to cheat? Believe or not, I¡­¡­¡± The masked person¡¯s gaze became cold, and the killing intent suddenly rose. Ye Chuan however was clam, and as if he didn¡¯t felt a shred of threat from this masked person, he said, ¡°Okay, junior apprentice-sister Jiajia, don¡¯t get too noisy.¡± ¡°Humph, brat, how do you know it¡¯s me?¡± This masked person angrily took off the black cloth that was covering the face, revealing a beautiful face. ¡°Junior apprentice-sister Jiajia, your mask was very good, until you take it off, no one would really recognize you. But your ¡®just like a pair of bunny rabbit¡¯ big breasts, how can they deceive people? Hereafter if you want to disguise yourself, you should spend more time thinking about them¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and looking at Zhu Sijia¡¯s towering breasts intentionally or unintentionally, he evilly smiled. The instant this masked person entered the door, he immediately knew who this person was, not only because of Zhu Sijia¡¯s impressive boobies, but also mainly due to her that unique faint body fragrance. ¡°I don¡¯t care, in any case I already beat him, now bring out the reward.¡± Zhu Sijia angrily stretched out her hand. As an elite disciple of Alchemy Hall, she had seen this old man He Taixu not pleasing to the eye long ago, so after Fatty Zhao Dazhi spread out this rumor, she was the first one to act. On one hand, she could vent her anger by beating He Taixu, and on the other hand, she was also curious, and wanted to see what kind of reward would Ye Chuan take out. ¡°Jiajia, how many days ago did you period come? I remember, your previous period didn¡¯t seem to come this time.¡± Ye Chuan suddenly asked. ¡°It came yesterday, was half a month ahead of time¡­. Smelly fellow, you rogue, you¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia instinctively answered, and seeing the evil smile of Ye Chuan, she suddenly came to realized, and knew that she was cheated. Then getting embarrassed and angry simultaneously, she directly slapped towards Ye Chuan. The swift and fierce wind of her palm directly disintegrated the stool under Ye Chuan¡¯s buttocks, as Ye Chuan however like a loach had already ducked to one side. ¡°Junior apprentice-sister, don¡¯t get angry like this.¡± Looking at Zhu Sijia who was angry with shame, the smile on the face of Ye Chuan became even more brilliant, but his tone turned serious, ¡°Jiajia, speak the truth, how many Dragon Snake Pills did you eat?¡± ¡°Not few, what¡¯s wrong with it?¡± Zhu Sijia was dumbfounded, and instinctively answered. The matter of her eating Dragon Snake Pills was her secret. Even her grandfather who lived together with her didn¡¯t know about this, but how did Ye Chuan know? Zhu Sijia was puzzled and wanted to continue attacking, but seeing Ye Chuan suddenly got serious, she was forced to temporarily wait for a moment. ¡°Dragon Snake Pill is a strong supplement. It can replenish qi, flourish blood and also can build foundation, but eating more is very bad for the body. Jiajia, why did you suddenly eat so much? Recently, don¡¯t you frequently feel extremely painful in your lower abdomen without cause or reason?¡± Ye Chuan frowned, and looking at that fiery figure of Zhu Sijia, he looked pensive. As a former Heaven Concealing Great Saint, with a single glance, he saw what was wrong with Zhu Sijia, so he warned her timely. ¡°Yes, sometime I feel extreme lower abdominal pain, I¡­¡­, I inadvertently discovered the Dragon Snake Pill can shorten the period, and with Great Competition right around the corner, I wanted to seize every moment to cultivate, so¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia¡¯s eyes lit up, and now she believed Ye Chuan a bit. Recently, she really often felt extremely painful in her lower abdomen without cause or reason. As she spoke, she blushed, and her heart seemed to have a fawn jumping about in and out. ¡°Great Competition is very important, but body is foundation, so you should not stress the incidental over the fundamental. If you eat too much Dragon Snake Pills, then the light effect would be the weakening the body and causing chaos in qi and blood. And the heavy effect would be giving rise to heart demon. Jiajia, hereafter don¡¯t eat Dragon Snake Pills indiscriminately again.¡± Ye Chuan warned, and suddenly a thought appeared in his heart, then sizing up Zhu Sijia, he smiled evilly. There was another matter, he didn¡¯t said. Eating too much Dragon Snake Pills, not only had adverse health effect, still there was another effect, which was easy to get worked up. Among the ten thousand things of creation of heaven, the character of dragons was most licentious, and snake was also the same, so how could there be no effect if this Dragon Snake Pills were eaten like a melon seeds. No wonder, Zhu Sijia seemed to have bigger emotion fluctuation these two days, and also had even the more radiant and vivacious bearing. ¡°Humph, I got it, now reward, take it out!¡± Zhu Sijia coldly snorted, and her complexion became cold, concealing shyness in her heart. ¡°I gave you some directions so as to avoid you eating too much Dragon Snake Pills and get heart demon, isn¡¯t this the best reward?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and said in all seriousness, ¡°Of course, if you, junior apprentice-sister think this reward is not enough, then you can stay in the Purple Cloud Courtyard, and I, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother will give you pointers every day, and also pass down a peerless cultivation technique.¡± ¡°Fuck your peerless cultivation technique, cheapskate, big hoodlum, humph¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia snorted few times, then turning around her very slender waist, she waked away. Thinking about it, what Ye Chuan had said was indeed truth, his warning came at the right time, and compared to obtaining cultivation techniques, this was very practical. Otherwise, when a great problem arose in cultivation, it would have been too late to greatly regret it. ¡°Junior apprentice-sister, if you feel unwell anywhere, then quickly come over to find this senior apprentice-brother, this senior apprentice-brother, I will definitely risk my life to aid¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan accompanied Zhu Sijia to outside the door, and looking at her pert back view, he smiled evilly. Zhu Sijia turned around her head and seeing that strange smile on his face, she didn¡¯t understand what that smile imply. Even after thinking for a bit, she didn¡¯t understand, so she couldn¡¯t help but got even angrier, then panting in rage, she quickened her steps with her pert buttocks swaying. Finally, she simply took out her Gold Carried Glass flying sword, then stepping on this flying sword, she instantly disappeared without a trace. ¡°Current little girl, isn¡¯t she all the more bold and vigorous, and even tastier?¡± Ye Chuan smiled. The feeling of living again was really good, he increasingly liked this kind of life and sentiment. At this time, Golden Cicada King flew over to him and landed on his palm. Now its two wings were thinner and sharper than before. Then with his gentle blow, this little fellow changed into golden light and left, continuing the patrol of the mountain. Chapter 34: In a plight with no way out Chapter 34: In a plight with no way out Not long after Zhu Sijia was sent off, Ye Chuan received a wave of uninvited guests in succession. Among them, there were mysterious masked person, outer sect disciple with big bamboo hat, and also grandiose inner sect elite disciples. All of them without exception had come here to get their reward after giving He Taixu a good thrashing. After Zhu Sijia had left, people had immediately followed the trend. Some people saw Alchemy Hall and Advisor He Taixu not pleasing to the eye, so when they could soundly beat He Taixu venting their anger and still could get a reward, they naturally didn¡¯t want to miss this kind of opportunity. Ye Chuan was already prepared for this and rewarded all of them one after another. The cultivation of some people was not shallow, but they had fatal flaw in their cultivation technique, and he casually pointed them out from them; some people seemed powerful, swift and fierce, but in fact their years of cultivation had left behind internal injury, and he solved them for them; some people specially wanted cultivation technique, and Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t disappoint the other party, he just took out a piece of blank paper in front of them, and write down a cultivation technique for them. As once Heaven Concealing Great Saint who had concealed the heaven with his hand, Ye Chuan once had grasped 3000 martial techniques, and every one of them were extremely important. And having come to contact with but not cultivated techniques were even more. All of them were worthless to him, but for these ordinary disciples, these were hard to come by profound technique, and they nevertheless felt as if they had found a priceless treasure. Every people who went up to the mountain, all returned from a rewarding journey. This news quickly spread again creating a sensation within the entire sect. Now even more people began to go frenzy. There was no direct evidence that Ye Chuan had obtained the treasure from that legendary Paradise Realm, but his every action deepened the suspicion of everyone. Moreover they don¡¯t need to directly go and rob to obtain the treasure of Paradise Realm, just obtain the favor of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother and get rewarded, so what was there to wait. The number of people that beat Adviser He Taixu suddenly increased. As long as he made an appearance, this former tyrant advisor who used powerful connection to intimidate people suffered a tragedy. Now if he made an appearance once, he would get beaten once. Even if he kept hiding inside the Alchemy Hall, he wasn¡¯t able to avoid his fate of getting beaten. The guards and disciples of Alchemy Hall were also people, and who among them didn¡¯t want to obtain that reward which could make people drool. Now He Taixu who had spread rumors so that he could make Ye Chuan fall into deathtrap, conversely fully experienced the abuse. Moreover the complexion of Hall Master Jin Zhikun was gloomy now a days, and his patience had already reached its limit, merely giving He Taixu a final day¡¯s time. And on the other side, Ye Chuan met plot with plot, which in turn made him miserable to the ends. Currently facing pressure from two sides, this He Taixu who often refer himself as far-sighted in former days was unable to bear, and felt a day drags past like a year. And under this helplessness, he was forced to make a reckless move. Late in the night, when the disciples in Cloud Mist Sect had already either entered seclusion to cultivate or entered into dreamland, a shadow quietly appeared in Purple Mist Peak. He Taixu with gauze wrapped around his head took advantage of night time to come outside Purple Cloud Courtyard, wanting to fight Ye Chuan to death. His scheme came to nothing, and if he didn¡¯t kill Ye Chuan, then Hall Master Jin Zhikun would banish him to Evil Dragon Abyss, leading to a dead end. Even if Hall Master Jin Zhikun spared his life, Ye Chuan would never drop this matter. This entire day he had fully experienced the people¡¯s beating, this way he inevitably would be beaten to death one day. Now there was death in both of his left and right sides, so he simply was ready to risk everything. After attentively listening outside the door for a while, He Taixu as if agile leopard cat stealthily entered into the Purple Could Courtyard, then coldly smiling, he pulled out a dagger smeared with strong poison from his bosom. After that as if a viper, he stealthily went towards the study where oil lamp was illuminating. Inside the room, under the dim light of an antique Cyan Lotus Lamp, indistinct back view of Ye Chuan was visible. It seems, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground to cultivate. ¡°Boy, give me your life!¡± He Taixu gnashed his teeth, and his cultivation of Rank 1 Xiushi completely show out, then directly breaking open the window, he entered into the room, and rushing to the rear of Ye Chuan, he ruthlessly stabbed towards him. Seeing his attack was a success, an evil grin involuntarily appeared on his face, but in the next moment, his smile stiffened. He had stabbed only a wooden log with a clothing draped over it, and there was basically not even a trace of Ye Chuan there. ¡°Ai, there is no need to strike to take a human life, wasn¡¯t there only a small misunderstanding and small contradiction?¡± Faint sigh came though behind him. Ye Chuan had silently, without him knowing when, had already appeared behind He Taixu. Then looking at stiff faced He Taixu, he asked with an evil smile: ¡°He Taixu, looking for me?¡± ¡°You¡­¡­, you already knew I was coming?¡± He Taixu quickly turned around, and seeing Ye Chuan who had made preparation against him in advance, he was somewhat dazed. His attack failed, and now his drive had already exhausted and was replaced by instinctive uneasiness. His cultivation was clearly more than one rank higher than Ye Chuan, but he didn¡¯t know why, just looking at the smile of Ye Chuan, he was scared, and his right hand that was holding the dagger trembled. He Taixu had never felt like this even when he had faced other expert of Xiushi realm. ¡°Of course I knew. If I couldn¡¯t predict even this much, then wouldn¡¯t I have already died in your and that silkpants Jin Hua¡¯s hand?¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and indifferently continued speaking: ¡°Now, you have two choice, either die, and go to the underworld to continue to follow your young master Jin Hua, or, choose to give up vice and return to virtue, and hereafter remain in Purple Cloud Peak becoming my slave. You have to do all the works in front of you, if there is nothing else, then you can make a cup of tea for me or sweep the floor or something like that. And if your performance is good, I can give you some pointers, and also pass down some exceptional cultivation technique. In truth, even death cannot wipe out your crimes, and it is better to directly kill you, but, I, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is so soft and kind-hearted, ai¡­¡­¡± ¡°Pei, you are soft and kind-hearted? You are more ruthless than a yao ghost, and more sinister than great devil!¡± He Taixu cursed in rage. He however was not like young master Jin Hua, he was experienced person, and he would not easily get moved by few words of Ye Chuan. And before his voice disappeared, he quickly rushed forward. Even if he had to die, he wanted to at least make Ye Chuan a scapegoat, or perhaps, he might luckily kill Ye Chuan and successfully flee down the mountain. Then relying on the abilities he had learnt in Cloud Mist Sect, he would become free and at ease in the secular world, Da Qing Dynasty, then looking for a person from large family, he would again became an inept advisor. Once people were forced to a dead end, their latent talent would be forced out. The current speed of He Taixu was much faster than any time before, and the dagger coated with strong poison stabbed towards Ye Chuan. Now it was only half inch away from Ye Chuan. Little guy, your prediction with miraculous accuracy and scheming, in front of absolute power, they are useless, leading you to dead end. He Taixu smiled, then couldn¡¯t help but burst into a loud laughter and his face twisted hideously. But, just when his dagger was about to cut the throat of Ye Chuan, he suddeny felt a pain in his buttocks, as if a wasp stung him, then half of his body became numb. Buzz buzz buzz, humming sound suddenly came through behind him. ¡°Damn it, what is this?¡± He reached out his hand and forcibly slapped his own buttocks, but there was nothing. Then ferociously turning back, a golden light flashed before his eye, then along with a sharp pain, his right eye was drenched with blood and went blind. And opening his left eye, he saw thickly dotted mutated flies rushing towards him. Very soon, they reached in front of him. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, brat, how can you be so sinister?¡± He Taixu gave a horrible shriek, and covering his blinded right eye, he ran like a mad. In a split second, his one eye was blinded, and he was not even able to see what that golden light was, moreover he didn¡¯t know any means of Ye Chuan. Now he was thoroughly frightened, and didn¡¯t dare to stay here for even a moment. ¡°I am not sinister, this is your incompetence. He Taixu, obediently kneel down and receive your death, you can¡¯t escape.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently answered, while leisurely chasing him. Tonight, He Taixu, this old man who had reached a dead end will die, and never get the chance to see the sun of tomorrow. Chapter 35: Divine Yang Body Chapter 35: Divine Yang Body With Ye Chuan pursuing after him, He Taixu fled in confusion by any path, rushing towards the mountain behind Cloud Mist Sect. The mountain was covered with dense forest, and there were sharp thistles and thorns everywhere. Very quickly, He Taixu¡¯s clothing became rags and he was covered with cuts and bruises. What¡¯s worse, wherever his foot stumbles or got entangled in thistles and thrones, the swarm of mutated flies would rush up to him in swarm, and they would bit and absorb his blood and energy. Gritting his teeth, he fled for an hour, but not only he wasn¡¯t able to shake off Ye Chuan, instead he became increasingly weak due to excessive loss of blood. Ye Chuan was not impatient, just like the cat that had already caught the mouse, he leisurely followed behind He Taixu. With Golden Cicada King and swarm of mutated flies as guards, no need to speak about He Taixu who was only Rank 1 Xiushi, even higher level cultivators wouldn¡¯t be able to threaten him much. All along the path, far behind, on one hand, Ye Chuan was properly enjoying He Taixu, this old dog¡¯s sorry figure and sufferings, and on the other hand, he was also silently waiting for the final opportunity to come. Either not strike, or if strike, then kill with certainty! Ye Chuan who was very experienced calmly and hardheadedly waited for a chance, making He Taixu who set his mind to perish together thoroughly despair. This old man appeared battered and exhausted, but after all was an old fox with vicious natural deposition, there were several times when he deliberately fell down, waiting for Ye Chuan to step forward, so that he could violently counterattack all of a sudden. Only it¡¯s too bad, wanting to scheme in front of Ye Chuan, he was destined to lose; and him feign death to counterattack was also futile effort. Ye Chuan simply didn¡¯t need to step forward personally to examine, as with his single thought, Golden Cicada King would rush over to him. Then its sharp claws and teeth with blade like wings would quickly make He Taixu gave out a horrible shriek repeatedly, and even if he wanted to pretend, he wouldn¡¯t be able to pretend. After the right eye, even his remaining left eye was unfortunately stabbed and blinded by Golden Cicada King. Now with both of his eyes dripping with blood, he was no longer able to see anything, and just like a headless fly, he fled in disarray all around. And accidentally he unexpectedly arrived at Evil Dragon Abyss of behind mountain. Not Good! The eyes of Ye Chuan flashed with pallid light, and he suddenly accelerated, wanting to personally kill He Taixu, this old man. Unfortunately, although this old man was unable to see, but perhaps was feelings or perhaps was instinct, he straightly rushed towards Evil Dragon Abyss and suddenly stopped beside it. ¡°Hahaha, brat, come on, come to kill me!¡± He Taixu glared towards Ye Chuan with two bloody eyes, and as if gone mad, and also perhaps because he knew that it was hard to avoid death, he instead became even more frenzied, and his face twisted hideously, ¡°Come on, come to kill me, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± ¡°Old man, do you really think I cannot kill you?¡± Ye Chuan sneered, boldness of execution stems from superb skill, he directly pressed forward. ¡°Hahaha, I know I will die for sure, but I will never die in your hand. Even after changing into ghost after dying in Evil Dragon Abyss, I will not let you off, hahaha¡­¡­¡± He Taixu roared with laughter, and suddenly jumped into Evil Dragon Abyss. Ye Chuan quickly rushed and reached out to catch but only tore a piece of that old man¡¯s clothing. Even after a good while, the insane laughter of this old man could be heard faintly from inside the abyss, which increasingly got distant. Shrouded by dim light of night, Evil Dragon Abyss seemed even more unfathomable, and with Yang Qi surging, cultivating here would get twice the result with half the effort, but the feeling of danger grew with each passing moment. Standing beside the cliff for a short while, Ye Chuan indistinctly felt unwell, and the blood and qi within his body surged chaotically. This yao qi is getting increasingly dense. In the end, what secret is hidden under this Evil Dragon Abyss? Ye Chuan heart became solemn, and he didn¡¯t dare to stand beside this cliff for a long time. Just looking for a while, he hurriedly left. Silkpants Jin Hua died, now, old man He Taixu also died, but to Ye Chuan, the threat was still far from being completely eliminated. The real opponents Hall Master Jin Zhikun and Third Elder behind the scene were still glaring like a tiger eyeing its prey. Returning to Purple Cloud Courtyard, he sat down to cultivated, but Ye Chuan had an uneasy feeling. He didn¡¯t know whether this was happening because he had a hidden trouble or because he had just went to Evil Dragon Abyss. Pondering for a while, he took out Cyan Lotus Lamp, and once again let out his spirit. Then along with the ill wind, his spirit went straight to the place of Hall Master Jin Zhikun. In the dead of the night, cold wind blew! Before he was near Alchemy Hall, Ye Chuan felt surging yang qi in his face. And his spirit floating in the sky felt burning pain, as if he had thrown himself into a volcano. Still as if a moth darting into a flame, he gritted his teeth and continued to advance forward, arriving to a secluded and tranquil courtyard. There, from the far away, he saw Hall Master Jin Zhikun doing shadowboxing by himself within his courtyard. His style was simple and blunt, but his fists and kicks were surging with dense yang qi, and his whole body¡¯s blood qi was seething. ¡°Divine Yang Body?¡± Ye Chuan was startled inwardly, now the threat of Jin Zhikun had increase further by a step. After breaking through to Xiushi realm, people can cultivate all kinds of martial techniques to possess remarkable abilities. They could cultivate flying sword, could send out their spirit to make a spiritual tour within a thousand li, and so on, but there were also some people who like in Wuzhe realm continue to temper and refine their body. And after they strengthened their body to the pinnacle, they would obtain Divine Yang Body, then all kinds of diseases and ailments wouldn¡¯t be able invade them, moreover even the ghosts wouldn¡¯t be able to approach them. This kind of Divine Yang Body was natural nemesis of Yin Spirit Xiushi! Such strong Yang Qi, is this fellow about to breakthrough to Daoist Master realm, transforming into a Yang Spirit Daoist Master? The spirit of Ye Chuan suddenly stopped, and from Jin Zhikun, he felt strong threat. The cultivator specializing in body and Yang Qi were slow to progress, but they would be very strong in each realm. They often can bypass the rank and kill a higer ranked cultivator, and while they were in Xiushi realm, beheading a rank higher Xiushi realm cultivator was not difficult. Now, Jin Zhikun was still Rank 7 Xiushi, but once he broke through to Daoist Master realm, perhaps even Great Elder and Second Elder would be suppressed, changing the leadership of the sect. And when that time comes, with the cooperation of Third Elder, who would be his opponent? And if the Sect Master is still not present at that time, then wouldn¡¯t the entire Cloud Mist Sect fall into his hand and let him slaughter as he please? With the enmity of killing his son, this fellow had still not come to take revenge, rather was suffering in silence while stalling for time. Ye Chuan suddenly understand why Jin Zhikun was restraining his emotion, and why didn¡¯t he personally come to make trouble for him. Now with the support of Great Elder and Second Elder, his position of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother seemed as stable as Mount Tai, but once this fellow Jin Zhikun successfully breakthrough to Daoist Master realm, the situation will be reversed thoroughly! Wu! In the night sky, suddenly the sounds as if a wail like ghosts and howl like wolves resounded. The dim light of the night suddenly sunk, and the surroundings within the radius of 100 meters suddenly became pitch-black, not even the moon and the stars could be seen. In the void, many skeletons¡¯ shadow appeared vaguely. And from the original awe-inspiring Alchemy Hall suddenly as if changed into a huge grave, dead qi rose to the sky. Chaotic Ghost Dance! Ye Chuan circulated all of his spirit¡¯s energy, and released a rare technique of demon sect. This technique was the defining technique of an absolutely lawless Ghost King of thousands of millions years ago. And after beheading him, Ye Chuan had robbed this technique. In the beginning, this technique could only create a skeleton shadow to seize the soul of human, but after achieving success in cultivation, this skeleton could be changed into entity from the mere shadow, and then later, could be evolved into Asura, Ghost King grade ultimate ghosts. The might of this technique was no small matter. The knowledge of Ye Chuan defied the natural order, once he grasped 3,000 techniques, unfortunately, now he was only Rank 6 Wuzhe, so even using Spirit Nightwaling was very difficult, let alone Chaotic Ghost Dance, this technique which naturally required great amount of power. But without caring about the backlash he would suffer, to interrupt the cultivation of Jin Zhikun so that he would be unable to breakthrough to Daoist Master realm, he had to take risks to launch the attack. Chapter 36: Ghost Market Chapter 36: Ghost Market The wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves sounds suddenly spread far and wide, making many disciples to suddenly wake up from their dreamland with a start. A burst of ill wind arose all of a sudden, sweeping the entire mountain peak of Alchemy Hall. Even the guards and disciples at the foot of this mountain shivered simultaneously, and felt chill from their head to toe. This was the first true all-out attack of Ye Chuan after he had reincarnated. Jin Zhikun who was standing inside the courtyard suddenly raised his head, then slightly lowering his shoulder, and his eyes shining, he suddenly opened his mouth while clapping his hand, ¡°Humph, who¡¯s there, come out for me!¡± PA! Ear-piercing sonic boom suddenly resounded throughout the courtyard. A simple clap of Jin Zhikun alone gave rise to fast and violent sonic boom, which whistled to the skeletons¡¯ shadow, then toppling them over, they were smashed. After that the blood and qi within his body seethed as if a big river, and surged forward, emitting a thick imposing Yang Qi. Then all the scorpions, centipedes, vipers and other creatures that were hidden in the dark within the radius of one kilometers began running away. And as for those who were a little slower in running away, their body immediately emitted a black smoke being corroded by Yang Qi. Jin Zhikun remained motionless standing at his original position, and his face was smeared with sneer. Yin Spirit Nightwalking, no need to talk about passing by harnessing ill wind, still attempting to attack his Divine Yang Body, this was definitely courting death! Could it be that, you don¡¯t know the Divine Yang Body I am cultivating is natural nemesis of Yin Spirit? Just then, a strand of ill wind suddenly rushed out from the smashed skeleton shadow, and vaguely changing into a finger, it whistled towards Jin Zhikun. Just when Jin Zhikun was getting arrogant after showing his technique, Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit brazenly initiated a ferocious counterattack. His spirit changed into a finger with lingering death qi, and as if a god killing powerful army, with an unstoppable momentum and alarmingly fast speed, it pressed the space between the eyebrows of Jin Zhikun. ¡°Illusory Magic Finger? Damn it, who are you?¡± Jin Zhikun screamed, and he immediately understood his carelessness. That ghastly and terrifying skeletons¡¯ shadow was merely a decoy, this spirit changed into finger was the real killing move of the other party. In the night sky, suddenly two muffled groaning sound resounded. Jin Zhukun felt a bone-piercing chill entering his body, and his body involuntarily shivered. Now he could only look at his about to breakthrough Divine Yang Body being exhausted all of a sudden, and his cultivation was also forcibly interrupted. The spirit of Ye Chuan also emitted a black smoke, and had instantly shrunk by nearly one-third, suffering heavy damage. And after his attack was successful, he immediately turned around and fled accompanied by ill wind without the slightest hesitation. ¡°Audacious, where do you think you are running to?¡± Suffering heavy a loss under his carelessness, Jin Zhikun glared, then leaping swiftly, he chased after the spirit of Ye Chuan while gnashing his teeth. After suffering the sneak attack of Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit, his cultivation was interrupted all of a sudden. Now even he himself don¡¯t know how much time he had to wait before he could attack Daoist Master realm once again. Moreover all the original plans and deployment without exception were also disrupted. Suddenly suffering such large loss, how could he let this matter drop? After suffering the corrosion of Yang Qi, Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit was heavily wounded, so he was not able to run fast enough even though he spared no effort to run, and very quickly, the angry Jin Zhikun was about to catch up to him. And just when Jin Zhikun¡¯s claw was about to catch his spirit and shattered it, suddenly a golden light flashed in the middle of the night. Jin Zhikun abruptly stopped his footsteps, and slight stinging pain came through his neck, as if a wasp had bitten him. He reached out his hand and felt, only to obtain handful of blood. If his movement was even a bit slower, then his throat would have been cut off. The lying low Golden Cicada King had suddenly launched an attack. With its amazing speed and sharp wings, it nearly made Jin Zhikun, this expert of Rank 7 Xiushi suffer a defeat. All of these killing moves were linked with each other! From the very beginning, Ye Chuan had arranged layer upon layer of killing moves. Skeletons¡¯ shadow was merely a decoy move, Illusory Magic Finger as well as lying low in one side Golden Cicada were his ultimate killing moves. Unfortunately, the result was a little bit worse. Ye Chuan secretly felt it was a pity, and under the escort of Golden Cicada King, the spirit of Ye Chuan harnessed the ill wind and quickly fled, disappearing in the boundless night. The sneak attack this time was unsuccessful, and next time if he wanted to kill Jin Zhikun with same old trick then that would be even more difficult. But, this time¡¯s goal of interruption of Jin Zhikun¡¯s cultivation, and making him unable to breakthrough to Daoist Master realm was achieved. In the dark night, along with the disappearance of frightening wail like ghosts and howl like wolves sounds, this fierce fighting also ended as fast as it started. Looking at the direction Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit had disappeared, the complexion of Jin Zhikun was gloomy. And after repeatedly thinking over, he gave up pursuing. The attacks of Ye Chuan came out one after the other, but his spirit however was no threat to Jin Zhikun. What really gave him misgiving was, Golden Cicada King with its alarmingly fast speed. If it was direct confrontation, then Jin Zhikun didn¡¯t feared, but what he feared was, Golden Cicada King hiding somewhere and suddenly carrying out a sneak attack. And with his cultivation level, he didn¡¯t have certainty to respond in time. After the spirit of Ye Chuan had already gone far away, groups of terrified and restless Alchemy Hall¡¯s guards and disciples arrived there with torch in their hand. Just now, wail like ghosts and howl like wolves sounds rose and fell in succession, making everyone have a feeling of instinctual danger. ¡°Search, that of Yin Spirit Nightwalking of great devil is definitely nearby. After suffering the counterattack of my Yang Qi, this spirit is heavily injured, so it certainly hasn¡¯t gone far.¡± Jin Zhikun coldly ordered with gloomy complexion. Then the groups of guards immediately walked out in a line, and the number of guards participating to hunt down this great devil became more and more, making the entire sect tense. Unfortunately, the pursuing troops were making futile effort. No one would have imagined that, the so-called great devil was lying low in highest peak with vast spiritual qi of the sect. After his spirit returned to Purple Cloud Peak and merged with his body, Ye Chuan immediately eliminated all traces and calmly cultivated in seclusion. And in the next day, his complexion got slightly better, and there was a little more redness on his face. Yesterday, if his spirit was not sufficiently strong or he didn¡¯t have the protection of Golden Cicada King, then he feared he might have already met death in the hand of Jin Zhikun. Divine Yang Body, indeed was a natural nemesis of Yin Spirit. Now at least before breaking through to Xiushi realm, with the strength of this body, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have any way to defeat Jin Zhikun. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Early in the morning, the sound of Fatty Zhao Dazhi came from outside. And after Ye Chuan opened the door, he immediately said excitedly, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, did you hear that terrifying cry of last night? Peerless great devil ah, even Alchemy Hall Master¡­¡­, eh, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what happened to you? Your face¡­¡­¡± Seeing the pale face and weak body of Ye Chuan, Fatty Zhao Dazhi was greatly surprised. ¡°Last night I went to the behind mountain to temper myself and meeting a powerful yao beast, I suffered a slight injury.¡± Ye Chuan casually found an excuse, and calmly asked indifferently, ¡°What happened last night?¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you don¡¯t know, last night there was a true wail like ghosts and howl like wolves sounds, and now the entire mountain of Alchemy Hall have lost its vitality, it¡¯s so scary.¡± Fatty vividly said and as if he was personally on the scene had fear smeared on his face. And after that, he said: ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, although Great Competition is right around the corner, but you don¡¯t have to rush. The mountain behind the sect is dangerous, you shouldn¡¯t go there as much as possible before breaking through to Xiushi realm. Oh, that¡¯s right, today is the day for holding Ghost Market, do you want to go and see? Perhaps, you can find some kind of treasure or buy the best pill in low price to rapidly treat your wound.¡± ¡°Oh, Ghost Market?¡± Ye Chuan muttered. ¡°In fact, it is similar to the black market of secular world, but more secretive. Last time, when you asked me to investigate Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s truth, I paid high commission to the hidden expert of Ghost Market to do it, as I didn¡¯t have that kind of ability. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, don¡¯t worry, junior apprentice-brother, I have nothing else but I still have some money. I¡¯ll take care of all the expenses. Come on, let¡¯s go!¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi knew that Ye Chuan had formerly continuously stayed on the mountain, cultivating in seclusion, and had never gone to Ghost Market, so patting his chest, he promised. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and followed Fatty Dazhi leaving the sect. In the Ghost Market of sects and cultivators, there were all sorts of things. Carefully searching, one might truly find a treasure too. Moreover the hidden expert that was mentioned by fatty also made him quite a bit curious. Chapter 37: Fatty don’t you have a swollen face Chapter 37: Fatty don¡¯t you have a swollen face Ghost Market was located in a secret valley. And this secret valley was located in an unregulated area which was right in the middle of Cloud Mist Sect, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, all three big sects. At noon, Ye Chuan and Fatty Zhao Dazhi traveled all the way to this valley. After that they disguised themselves, and wore a wide big bamboo hat on their head, completely covering their facial features. The traffic of cultivators was very high, and the overwhelming majority were in similar attire, no-one was willing to easily expose their identity, merely a small number of powerful elite disciples or loose cultivators were unscrupulous. Arriving at the valley, there was no real sense of arriving in the Ghost Market. And after that, walking down a rather dark stone steps, going nearly 100 meters deep into the ground, a special market appeared before Ye Chuan. The entrance of this stone stairs looked ordinary and mediocre, and was a natural cave, but inside was a completely different world. The entire market was simply a crisscrossed underpass, coupled with large and small grottos. Inside these grottos, people were hawking and trading various kinds of goods. Moreover, even in the fierce summer, a chilling wind was blowing inside the market as if surrounded by a huge underground grave. And the light illuminating inside was also dim. Looking up, dark place seems to have layer upon layer of ghost shadow, and under the foot, scorpions and centipedes would occasionally crawl. Timid people would have their hearts in jitters walking even a few steps. Moreover, the looks of the vendors inside the grottos were also hideous and frightening. Overwhelmingly majority of them were ice cold and indifference, and some were even emitting dense ghost qi, clearly were great devils. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, be careful, don¡¯t stare at other people continuously, Ghost Market has dragons and fishes jumbled together. Moreover, this place has always been a favorite place of many fugitives and great devils. Furthermore, there are some people, even our three great sects cannot afford to offend easily.¡± Fatty pushed down the big bamboo hat, and knowing Ye Chuan had never been to this kind of places, he warned in a low voice: ¡°If you take a fancy to something, then Big Senior Apprentice-Brother doesn¡¯t need to open your mouth, just give me a signal in secret, and I will deal with everything afterwards. Junior apprentice-brother, I am not up to much in cultivation, but I am very confident in haggling.¡± ¡°Fatty, what did you used to do before joining Cloud Mist Sect? Ye Chuan asked. ¡°My family sells rice, and our family has opened rice shops in many places of Da Qing Dynasty. And I grew up following my father selling and buying rice. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, afterward if you have an opportunity to go down the mountain, then you have to come to my house. Even if we have nothing else, we do have many rice. Uh¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I am not saying you eat a lot, what I am saying is¡­¡­¡± Fatty suddenly stopped talking, realizing he had made a slip of the tongue. Saying his family had many rice, wasn¡¯t that similar to saying that the other party eats a lot, and secretly cursing other people was a piggish eater? ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently smiled and walked to the front of one grotto, and Fatty Zhao Dazhi also followed after him jolting his buttocks. Originally, he led Ye Chuan here to widen the knowledge of Ye Chuan, but now he instead became Ye Chuan¡¯s footman. In a single sweeping quick glance, Ye Chuan roughly had a pretty good understanding of the qualities of items displayed by the hawking inside the grottos. He didn¡¯t even need to walk inside to look. There were many treasures and pills inside the Ghost Market, unfortunately, the things that could enter the eyes of Ye Chuan was really too few. And after turning a corner, a huge grotto appeared in front of them, both inside and outside of this grotto were paved with stone and the spiritual qi was also dense. Moreover, above the entrance of this grotto, a golden flying sword was engraved. ¡°This is our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s stronghold in Ghost Market. There are sect¡¯s experts here to oversee. They are responsible for selling the pills refined by the sect as well as to protect the disciples of our sect here in Ghost Market. Moreover, they are also the defensive strength of Ghost Market. Similarly, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect also have their stronghold here. These three great large sects together safeguard the order of Ghost Market, making a number of great devils unable to be too presumptuous.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi quickly stepped forward and whispered in the ear of Ye Chuan. ¡°Then today, which expert is overseeing here?¡± Sharp eyed Ye Chuan swiftly noticed a familiar figure inside the grotto. Zhu Sijia wearing a red battle outfit was inside the grotto, in the process of inspecting a treasure. ¡°Senior apprentice-sister Jiajia and a sect protector.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi answered, then asked: ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, should we go in and greet them?¡± ¡°No, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then walked past this grotto. Other than fatty beside him, he didn¡¯t want other people to know his whereabouts. If he wanted to flirt with Zhu Sijia, this shrewish and unruly lass, then there were still many opportunities in the future. Moving on, Ye Chuan found an interesting item in a grotto. This was a small crossbow, which was small and exquisite. And an anonymous formation was engraved on the body of this crossbow, which could be activated using spiritual power within one¡¯s body. Although it seemed small and exquisite, its power however wasn¡¯t small. The arrow shot from this crossbow would be able to penetrate through three-inch thick iron plate. Such power, perhaps even Rank 1 Xiushi realm cultivators would find hard to resist. Especially in close-ranged sneak attack, it would be a ferocious killing weapon. Ye Chuan picked up this small crossbow, and carefully observed it. He also repeatedly injected his spiritual power to test. After refining Marrow Cleansing Pill given to him by Ye Chuan, fatty finally achieved his wish of breaking through to Rank 1 Xiushi, and becoming inner sect disciple was right around the corner. And being elated, he was very respectful and grateful towards this generous Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Ye Chuan. And now seeing Ye Chuan was somewhat fond of this thing, he knew that this was the perfect opportunity to show off, so he arrogantly threw a pouch of silvers, and said: ¡°Senior, I want this small crossbow, how much, you can count yourself.¡± ¡°3,000 tales of silver, this is far from enough.¡± The old man sitting inside the grotto raised his head and indifferently looked at fatty. The face of Fatty Zhao Dazhi got red all of a sudden. Not long ago, he was bragging how even if he had nothing else, he had many silvers. And now when he finally had a chance to show off with great difficulty, he boldly showed off without any restraints, but who would have thought that he was immediately slapped in his face. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Chuan put down the small crossbow and turned away. This fellow fatty, it seems his family isn¡¯t that wealthy and he is also not that good at haggling, merely expert in boasting that¡¯s all. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, wait!¡± Fatty chased after Ye Chuan, and said feeling somewhat embarrassed, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, don¡¯t go, if silvers are not enough, I still can think of a way. Oh, that¡¯s right, wasn¡¯t Miss Jiajia is here? Wait a minute, I¡¯ll go and borrow some silvers from her, she definitely has many silvers.¡± ¡°Forget it, most of the silver she has are obtained by selling the pills refined by sect, and do you think that you can use them as you please?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. Although fatty didn¡¯t have sufficient silvers, but his face was sufficiently thick, ¡°There is nothing to fear, first use them and talk about the consequences later, in any case, investigating is done from top to bottom, and we¡¯ll have Miss Jiajia on the top.¡± ¡°Not necessary, fatty, really don¡¯t need. And you don¡¯t have to be embarrassed, it¡¯s just a small item, I was just looking at it casually. The nameless formation engraved on it was a little interesting, unfortunately, it was incomplete. Its strength was powerful but is not flexible enough. It looks powerful, but in actual combat, it cannot be used more than three times continuously, else it would definitely break, attractive but useless.¡± Ye Chuan strode away. Behind, hearing this, that old man who was drowsily sitting inside the grotto was startled, he immediately raised his head and exclaimed: ¡°Eh, how did this person know? Hearing the voice, he is not that old, and his cultivation is also lower than Xiushi realm, how could this be? Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­, which sect nurtured such excellent Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Black Cauldron Sect or Five Style Sect?¡± This old man who had been hiding his identity for many years was surprised. He had displayed this small crossbow in Ghost Market for full 10 years, and there were people that held it in contempt, but there were plenty of people that were full of praise as well as loved it too much to part with it, merely the price was too high, so it continuously remained unsold. And the person who was able to reveal the shortcoming of this small crossbow in a single glance, Ye Chuan was the only one in this entire 10 years. That old man rushed out and wanted to see what exactly the origin of Ye Chuan was, unfortunately, he was a step too late and was not able to see even the trace of Ye Chuan. Then mumbling to himself, he deduced that Ye Chuan was the person of either Black Cauldron Sect or Five Style Sect. Ghost Market was hidden in a remote place, and an overwhelming majority of disciples that came to this place were of Cloud Mist Sect, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect. In these last few years, the Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Cloud Mist Sect was famous for his mediocrity, so this old man simply disregarded the Cloud Mist Sect. Chapter 38: Flame Devil Chapter 38: Flame Devil In underpass crisscross, Ye Chuan with fatty Zhao Dazhi went around in circles, passing one stall after another. After that small crossbow, Ye Chuan continuously found several interesting items. He picked up each one of them and carefully inspected them. Individually they were a hair bun, a small mirror, a cloak and few flying swords. All of these things, not only were very precious, but also had distinctive aspect. Some had rare materials, some had particularly exquisite workmanship, and some had distinctive formation overlaid on it. Ye Chuan wondered from which ancient tombs, they were dug out. Each of these things, Ye Chuan would pick them up, carefully examine, and fiddle with them, then putting down, he would leave. All of them were not bad things for the discerning person, but all of them were inessential for Ye Chuan. As for Fatty behind him, he became increasingly depressed inside his heart, and often nagged Ye Chuan. All the things that Ye Chuan took a fancy upon, in the view of fatty, all of them were things without much use. On the contrary, he liked treasures, and no matter whether it was dazzling flying swords or plain and thick armor, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even take a single glance at them. Several times, fatty wanted to buy a treasured sword to Ye Chuan, but Ye Chuan merely laughed them away. Pretending to understand when you don¡¯t! Who said Big Senior Apprentice-Brother has his ideas straightened out? And compared to before, he has progressed? But he is utterly ignorant! Looking at Ye Chuan¡¯s flower viewing from horseback, fatty Zhao Dazhi repeatedly shook his head. But, this was not a bad thing as well, as he could save a large amount of money. [T.L: flower viewing from horseback (idiom): a fleeting glance in passing] After turning around another corner, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped. Ahead was a dark grotto. Other grotto had a chilly cold wind blowing, but in this place, steaming hot wind was blowing. It seems a pile of firewood was burning inside this grotto. And outside this grotto, there was a large crowd of people vying to obtain the items. He wondered what kind of treasure was inside this grotto. Ye Chuan walked over, and circulating Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, he calmly squeezed inside. Instead of saying squeezing, might as well say shoving. After his body approached, an invisible force would lightly push people away. Many people were puzzled, and simply didn¡¯t know how they were pushed out. And even when Ye Chuan walked in front of them, they still didn¡¯t know he had passed by their side. In this fashion, Ye Chuan continued to press to the front. Blowing Fire Palm! This was another martial technique Ye Chuan had once grasped. Its name was very unsophisticated but its might was not small. In close quarter combat, suddenly using it, the opponent would often be caught unprepared, and a pull can easily unbalance other parties, obtaining extraordinary efficacy. It was said that, this martial technique was created by an old man who burned boiler throughout the year, so its name was so unsophisticated. And as for concrete details on the origin of this technique, even Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know. After walking all the way to the stall, Ye Chuan stopped this move, and concealing the aura of Heaven Swallowing Talisman, he calmed down his energy fluctuation. Now his cultivation appeared ordinary, similar to the numerous cultivators he had secretly pushed away. And unlike other grottos, this grotto was specialized in selling crystal stones. The quantity was not much, only seven pieces, but all of them contained amazing energy fluctuation, impressively were rarely seen top grade crystal stones, no wonder, so many people were attracted. In Wilderness World, there are two distinct things that are inevitably linked to the cultivation of people. They were pills and crystal stones. Medicinal herbs could be planted, and refined into pills. But crystal stones however were very few in numbers. After a long time, the crystal stone ores of Wilderness World had become fewer and fewer. Now the overwhelming majority of them were controlled by big sects. So no need to talk about the number of crystal stones circulated in the market was very low, still the majority of them were the lowest grade crystal stone. So, the appearance of these few top grade crystal stones immediately attracted the attention of a large number of cultivators. ¡°3,000 taels silver, I want these crystal stone, no one can snatch it from me!¡± ¡°What a joke, 3,000 taels of silver are not enough to buy all of them, I bid 8,000 taels for all of them!¡¯ ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ People roared and pressed forward. But no one dared to cross the white line in front of this stall. Ye Chuan was surprised inwardly. And after indifferently looking at the crystal stones, his gaze landed on the stall keeper who was sitting cross-legged inside the grotto. This was an old man, wearing a gray gown. He was motionless with his head hung down, perhaps was tired, or perhaps was making a spiritual tour, completing ignoring the scramble of people. His beard was very long, lengthened to his chest, but oddly, it was not the frequently seen white or black in color, rather rare fiery red in color. And a burst of a heat wave was blowing out from inside the grotto, making people uncomfortable. Ye Chuan carefully looked, and discovered that the heat wave was not coming from the ground, but was actually coming from inside the body of this old man sitting on the ground. The body of latter was like a blazing torch, and heat waves were getting more and more vigorous as if the intense sea waves of the sea within his body, and now his body resembled a burning red magma that was about to burst out. Powerful! This is¡­¡­, Scorching Sun Body! Ye Chuan was secretly startled, and finally understood why these numerous cultivators who were like wolves and tigers didn¡¯t dare to cross that white line. Scorching Sun Body is a classification of Divine Yang Body, but was rarer and was even more powerful after achieving success in cultivation. This kind of cultivator was different, from the very beginning, they would refine their body absorbing various kind of heavenly fire, and they would use a scorching hot flame to temper their physique, expelling all yin qi and cold qi from their body, pursuing pure yang body. With this method, their cultivation speed would be astonishingly fast, but also very dangerous. A single carelessness could instantly combust them into ashes and shatter their soul. As a once Heaven Concealing Great Saint, Ye Chuan naturally understood the might of Scorching Sun Body. In those years, one of his capable subordinate Flame King was a peak expert, who had cultivated Scorching Sun Body, and he could make the land around 1000 li into a barren land. Just then two fierce eyes suddenly fixedly stared at Ye Chuan. The old man who continuously had his head lowered without any words, suddenly lifted his head, and ferociously glared at Ye Chuan. All of a sudden, Ye Chuan felt as if he was in the midst of bonfire, and felt stinging pain all over his skin. The eyes of this old man were unexpectedly also fiery red in color, appeared incomparably ferocious and terrifying. In an instant, all people without exception who were shouting to contend with each other quieted down, and didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily. ¡°Senior, it¡¯s me, fatty Zhao, this is my brother. Your Excellency senior, please be magnanimous and don¡¯t argue with little ones.¡± Fatty immediately reacted, and dragging Ye Chuan back with a cautious smile, he whispered in the ear of Ye Chuan: ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I said that you shouldn¡¯t stare continuously at other people in Ghost market, did you forget? This senior is the hidden expert I have told you about at that time, Flame Devil, he was the one that found out the truth about Tuoba Xiaoniao.¡± He is? Ye Chuan¡¯s eye lit up, such character, no wonder, he dared to sneak into Black Cauldron Sect by himself to investigate the truth, not fearing that old man Tuoba Xiong! Ye Chuan slowly retreated, but just when he was about to squeeze out of the crowd and leave, he suddenly saw an item placed in the stall. After that, his eyes slowly shone brightly. Fatty exerted his utmost strength to drag Ye Chuan, but discover that Ye Chuan was unexpectedly absolutely still as if nailed to the ground. Chapter 39: Checkmated person Chapter 39: Checkmated person ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you¡­¡­, you like those crystal stone?¡± Since he was unable to pull Ye Chuan away, fatty was forced to give up, and weakly looking at Ye Chuan, he mumbled while sweating abnormally. The items of Flame Devil were certainly quality products! This was something known by all the people in Ghost Market. But although the items offered to sell by Flame Devil were good things, but price however was also very exorbitant. In Purple Cloud Peak, fatty Zhao Dazhi had boasted that even if he had nothing else, he had enough silvers. But now, seeing Ye Chuan was looking at the crystal stones offered to sell by Flame Devil with interest, he no longer became bold and uninhibited. Top grade crystal stone ah, even 3,000 taels of silver were not enough to buy a single piece. And even if fatty took out all the silvers in his body as well as all his clothing including his underpants, that wouldn¡¯t be enough to buy half piece of it. ¡°That¡¯s natural, what, fatty, you don¡¯t like it?¡± Ye Chuan turned around his head and looked at fatty with an evil smile. And the face of fatty became even redder. ¡°If you want to buy, then take out 9000 taels of silver for a single crystal stone, can¡¯t afford, then roll out, don¡¯t block the way!¡± Flame Devil coldly said, while his eyes coldly sweeping the people. Then the heat wave in the air suddenly intensified, and the ground in front of the grotto seems to be boiling up. After that the crowds of people of just a moment ago walked away, leaving behind only Ye Chuan and fatty. Single crystal stone costs 9000 taels of silver? This is not selling, but a daylight robbery! Hearing the cost, even the cultivators who used to spend money extravagantly in former days, all without exception gave up the thoughts to buy these crystal stone. Although these top grade crystal stones were good, but with such price, who could afford them? ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi stretched out his hand and quietly pulled the clothing of Ye Chuan, wanting to walk away, while profusely sweating. Without looking, he could sense that lots of people nearby were watching and pointing towards them. This price was so outrageous that even sect protector couldn¡¯t afford to buy them, so if he stayed here, then wasn¡¯t that just waiting for himself to lose his face? Could it be that, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother really thinks my family have big business and also have an inexhaustible amount of money as if flowing water? Feeling the people were pointing towards him, fatty felt ill at ease all over. Not only was he sweating profusely, very soon he was going to cry with no other choice. He decided that from now onwards, even if he was beaten to death, he would never dare to boast in front of Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. Brag in front of other people, that was ability and impressive. But brag in front of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan, and that was only slapping his own face. ¡°Boy, do you want to buy crystal stones?¡± Seeing fatty and Ye Chuan didn¡¯t leave, Flame Devil smiled and asked. With white eerie teeth, rock like coarse and cracked face, and fiery red eyes, he looked ferocious and frightening. When he was not smiling, it was good, but when he smiled, it made people even more restless. And seeing this Flame Devil glancing him, the heart of fatty Zhao Dazhi suddenly jumped, and felt indescribable discomfort. ¡°These crystal stones are pretty good.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, and said calmly. Fatty Zhao Dazhi who was standing beside Ye Chuan was so anxious that his forehead was already filled with beads of sweats, and panic was filled across his face. But he however made an appearance of rich and imposing. ¡°Paying 9,000 taels of silver for one crystal stone, really is wealthy, what is the origin of these two?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t recognize the taller one, but I happened to know that short and fat one, he is from Cloud Mist Sect. I heard, his family¡¯s rice stores run a very big business, and his family is very wealthy.¡± ¡°No wonder, stupid people with excessive wealth ah!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­. The onlookers were pointing out and talking in whispers. Since they couldn¡¯t afford to buy, looking from one side was also fine for them. Hearing the remarks of these people, the redness of fatty Zhao Dazhi reached to his ears, and felt even more ashamed to show his face. As for Ye Chuan, he just smiled, and glanced at fatty who was feeling unease. ¡°A piece of crystal stone for 9,000 taels of silver, but if you buy all of them, then I can give you a discount, a piece of crystal stone only for 8,500 taels of silver.¡± The complexion of Flame Devil slightly eased up, and the heat wave also became much weaker. He also recognized Fatty Zhao Dazhi, no need to mention about wearing a big bamboo hat, even if he morphed into ash, he would still recognize him, as not long ago, they had made a deal. ¡°Thanks, many thanks, senior, but today we¡­¡­¡± Fatty was somewhat at a loss, and sweated abnormally. Even if he cut down all of his fatty meat, he couldn¡¯t afford to buy even one of them, let alone all of them together ah! ¡°Oh, insufficient money? Then buy two pieces first, each for 9,200 taels of silver, not one less.¡± Flame Devil coldly answered. The fatty meat of fatty shivered, and he was unable to say the words of his mouth, then pulling Ye Chuan, he thought to slip away. ¡°A piece for 9,200 taels of silver ah, pretty good, this price is fair.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, and had the appearance of blockhead in money matters. Also no matter how much strength fatty used, he was unable to move Ye Chuan even an inch. And even after trying several times, seeing Ye Chuan was still motionless, fatty had the impulse to jump off the cliff. If this Flame Demon realize that they don¡¯t have money, and couldn¡¯t even afford a single crystal stone, then wouldn¡¯t they be instantly killed on the spot? The eyes of Flame Devil shone, he like blockhead in money matters the most, ¡°That¡¯s good, now take out the money.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have money.¡± Ye Chuan straightforwardly answered. Hearing this, fatty trembled from head to foot, and thought to immediately run away. I am dishonest, but Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you specially dug a hole for your junior apprentice-brother and junior apprentice-sister ah! Fatty Zhao Dazhi had mistakenly believed that Ye Chuan had a good plan, and even if he was given a hundred bear gall, he would have never thought that Ye Chuan would answer so straightforwardly. Now he was really afraid of what to come! ¡°Haha, hahaha, good, good, brat, are you playing with me? What are you doing here without money?¡± Flame Devil was surprised and became so angry that he laughed. Someone daring to be presumptuous in front of him, it had already been a very long time. Even three large sects¡¯ protectors would become respectful when they saw him in Ghost Market, so who dares to be presumptuous? Either Ye Chuan had powerful connection making him fearless or he didn¡¯t know the heights of the heavens or the depths of the earth and was tired of leaving? ¡°Flame Devil¡­I presume. I didn¡¯t play with you, it was you who misunderstood.¡± Ye Chuan was calm and composed, and pointing at the small plate below the crystal stones, he said, ¡°I am not interested in these crystal stones, rather this small plate, name your price.¡± This was a swarthy small plate used for putting crystal stones, was full of dust and was also cracked, resembling mere trash that was casually picked up from the street. It had been in the stall for so many years, but till now no one had ever paid any attention to it. Is this person crazy or sick? All the onlookers were greatly surprised, and fatty Zhao Dazhi was also dumbstruck with his mouth wide open. Only the complexion of Flame Devil however changed, then he sized up Ye Chuan, and his fiery eyes unexpectedly had a trace of surprise. After that, he said with a smirk, ¡°Heh heh, kid, you have a good sense of judgment! If you want my Jade Butterfly, then take out a sage cultivation technique to exchange, not money!¡± Sage cultivation technique? All onlookers exclaimed again, the words of Ye Chuan had already surprised them sufficiently, and the reply of Flame Devil shocked them so much that all of them were stupefied. Was it possible that, this completely worthless looking Jade Butterfly which didn¡¯t attract the gaze of any person was really a great treasure? ¡°Ai, already checkmated person, but without trying to quickly save oneself, still trying to obtain sage cultivation technique, what a joke, what a funny joke!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then turning around, he walked away, never again looking at that Jade Butterfly. Fatty was somewhat dizzy, and hadn¡¯t reacted up until now. And just when Ye Chuan had walked few steps, suddenly a red light flashed and Flame Devil blocked his path, ¡°Youngster, what did you say, who is the checkmated person? Say it again!¡± Scorching hot heat wave as if pin-pricked caused a stinging pain. Only then, fatty woke up. And seeing angry Flame Devil, he couldn¡¯t help but trembled. In front of this great devil, Rank 1 Xiushi cultivator was not even a dregs. ¡°Recently, your heart and lungs¡¯ blood vessels are not feeling well. After three days, if you are still alive, then I will jump into Evil Dragon Abyss.¡± Ye Chuan calmly said, then looking at this about to flip out Flame Devil, he indifferently turned around and walked away. Behind, ferocious Flame Devil¡¯s eyes shone with an ominous glint. And looking at the distant back view of Ye Chuan, his complexion was overcast and uncertain. And seeing the atmosphere was getting tense, the onlookers in the vicinity dispersed. They didn¡¯t dare to stay in such tense atmosphere. Chapter 40: What’s with your expression? Chapter 40: What¡¯s with your expression? By the extremely vicious intimidation of Flame Devil, the whole body of fatty Zhao Dazhi trembled, and even after a good while, he was rather scared out of his wits, and he was dying to immediately leave this place. But Ye Chuan was completely opposite, continued to leisurely wander around the Ghost market, as if nothing had happened, and was also fearless that Flame Devil would chase after them. So fatty was helpless, he was forced to have his heart in his mouth and follow Ye Chuan wandering around the Ghost Market. After turning around few corners, Ye Chuan stopped in front of a grotto. This grotto didn¡¯t have any decoration, but definitely was sufficiently large. It was three times larger compared to the ordinary grotto, and there was a great variety of items for sale. There were dazzling flying swords, pitch-black as if ink heavy armor, and also various kinds of pills. And the person standing inside this grotto was a bony old man. His cheeks didn¡¯t have any flesh, and had a triangular face. And all customers of this place didn¡¯t have a good complexion, as well as he was looking at all these people as if they owed him 300 taels of silver. Originally Ye Chuan wanted to walk past this grotto too, but suddenly, Cyan Lotus Lamp within his body softly jumped, reacting to a vague power fluctuation. He immediately stopped and looked towards the stall of this old man. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan lightly exclaimed. Cyan Lotus Lamp could sense the existence of a treasure nearby, he knew this point long ago, but the stall of this old man was full of things, so how was he going to find the real treasure? Ye Chuan took a quick glance at the wide variety of displayed items, and slowly, his gaze fixed at an unassuming small bag in one corner. Inside the bag, there was a small amount of soil mixed with a number of pale cyan colored seeds. Seeing this, his eyes flashed with surprise, then deep uncertain. ¡°This is the old man of Five Style Sect. His nickname is Exploiter Hu. If he can then he would sell even a piss pot at an exorbitant price. He specialized in cheating, it is impossible for anyone to buy anything from him at a cheap price.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi stepped forward and warned in a whisper. He often came to this Ghost Market to wander around, so he was very familiar with the situation here. And all along he had never bought anything from this Exploiter Hu, even to the extent that when passing by here, he would quicken his steps. Although Flame Devil was also trying to sell those crystal stones at sky high price, but his crystal stones were also truly of top quality. But Exploiter Hu was different. It¡¯s already been a long time since he had come to Ghost Market, but he was very greedy, and don¡¯t know how, he would get the disciples of Five Style Sect use their identity to frequently extort a number of unpopular flying swords and pills in a cheap price, then disguising them as a treasure, he would sell them at high prices, especially cheating the people who are unfamiliar to Ghost Market. ¡°Is that so?¡± Ye Chuan indifferently smiled, then turning around, he walked over. After that picking up a flying sword and examining it all over, he asked, ¡°Old man, what¡¯s the price of this flying sword?¡± ¡°843 taels of silver.¡± Exploiter Hu looked over and stiffly answered. ¡°This costs more than 800 taels of silver? 80 should be more like it!¡± Fatty shook his head, the flying sword held by Ye Chuan obviously was a shoddy product. A light was flowing on the surface, but inside was ordinary jade stone without any energy fluctuation, simply cannot be considered any magic weapon. Only a blockhead in money matters would buy it. But this old man Exploiter Hu still pretended it to be a rare treasure, and had the appearance of not caring whether he buys or not. Unaware people would definitely be deceived by his current act. ¡°What about this ring, what¡¯s its cost?¡± Ye Chuan put down the flying sword and he picked up a ring with a smile. ¡°1,200 taels.¡± Exploiter Hu answered. ¡°Can you offer a discount?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to bargain over here.¡± ¡°What about this long whip?¡± ¡°2,700 taels.¡± ¡°What about this rod?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ As soon as Exploiter Hu opened his mouth, fatty Zhao Dazhi was so angry that he wanted to immediately walk away, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t agree, and merely asked the price of the items with a smile. Slowly, Exploiter Hu got so angry that it was unbearable. The things Ye Chuan took a fancy upon was honestly too many, although the quality of the flying swords was bad, he would happily look at them for a good while. He practically asked the price of all the things in the stall, completely ignoring the complexion of Exploiter Hu. This was the first time this Exploiter Hu who was known as the extremely slick person had the impulse to chase away the customer, but he endured and restrained himself. ¡°What about the price of that bag of soil?¡± Ye Chuan looked towards the small bag in one corner and patiently asked, nearly making Exploiter Hu spat out a blood. ¡°Noble son, what do you see with your eyes? This is a bag of seed, where is the bag of soil?¡± Exploiter Hu fumed with anger, he really was unable to bear and said ferociously, ¡°This bag of seeds are not for sale, if you buy items worth 1,000 taels of silver, you will get a seed as a complimentary gift.¡± ¡°Oh, it was like that, pretty good, you really know the proper method to operate. How much is the cost of this bag of soil? I¡¯ll take it.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, then shot a glance at dumbstruck fatty, then the latter hurriedly took out silvers from his bosom. ¡°Boy, you¡­¡­¡± Exploiter Hu was so angry that his bread stuck up, he had never met such poking fun at other people. And just when he was about to open his mouth to curse, he saw the slivers in the hand of fatty, then he immediately swallowed back the curses, and said while waving his hands, ¡°Noble son, you have a great vision, 3 taels of silver, and as a complementary gifts, you can take those seeds too.¡± ¡°You want 3 taels of silver for a bag of soil?¡± Fatty was not happy at all, and his teeth itched. One was more outrageous than the other. There were so many flying swords, pills and other treasures, but Ye Chuan unexpectedly liked a bag of soil. Ye Chuan was already outrageous enough like this. But he had never thought that this old man Exploiter Hu was even more outrageous. There was soil like that everywhere, but giving it such a price, really deserved to be called Exploiter Hu. ¡°Fatty, don¡¯t complain, go, bring back this bag of soil to feed the fish, economize the food. Although your family has rice stores, and there are many rice, but being able to economize a little, isn¡¯t that great?¡± Ye Chuan took the little bag from Exploiter Hu, then turning around, he walked away. Behind, the face of fatty became red, and understood that Ye Chuan still hadn¡¯t forgotten his boasting. As for Exploiter Hu, he was all smiles. Although this business was a bit small, but was absolutely profitable. A small bag of soil selling for 3 taels of silver, who would believe in that? Where can you find this kind of sucker again? Ye Chuan was also happy. He took out a seed and carefully looking at it for a while, he increasingly became excited. After that quickly putting away the bag, he no longer looked at the stalls, and left with large strides. Exploiter Hu was still very complacent, little did he imagine that the business deal he had made today was the most deficit business transaction throughout the history. If he knew what these seeds were, then perhaps he would wail without tears in regret. Originally Fatty Zhao Dazhi was still grumbling, thinking whether Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan was intentionally jesting or not, but seeing the excitement on the face of Ye Chuan, he understood to some extent, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what profoundness does this bag of soil hide?¡± ¡°The soil is not worth a fart.¡± Ye Chuan smiled unfathomably. ¡°That is to say, the real profoundness lies in those seeds?¡± Fatty cross examined. Ye Chuan looked at fatty, he had never thought that the sense of this fellow who seems too fat to move was actually not slow. ¡°Mhm, very probably.¡± ¡°Then isn¡¯t that old man Exploiter Hu¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, in the end, what are these seeds?¡± Fatty excitedly said. And thinking of how Exploiter Hu had no choice but to suffer in silence, he felt very comfortable. ¡°I also don¡¯t know, but if I am not wrong, then the value of these seeds are far higher than those flying swords. Fatty, this seed is a gift for you, properly grow it.¡± Ye Chuan gave a seed to fatty. ¡°Thank you, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± Fatty was wild with joy, and hastily hid that seed carefully. After following after Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, he was pleasantly surprised again and again. Not long ago, due to the Marrow Cleansing Pill given to him by Ye Chuan, he was able to breakthrough, now he got a precious mysterious seed, where else can he find this kind of benefit? This fatty Zhao Dazhi who once used to completely disregard this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother like others, but currently he felt deep gratitude and respect towards Ye Chuan from the bottom of his heart. Two people secretly quickened their steps, and after turning around a corner, suddenly was about to collide head-on with a small and exquisite woman. Before they could clearly see the other¡¯s appearance, snow white neck reflected in the eyes of Ye Chuan. Perhaps she accidentally stepped on a smooth stone, or perhaps she was walking too fast, unable to stop her footsteps, she was staggering towards Ye Chuan to collide. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, be careful!¡± The fatty behind suddenly cried out in alarm, and as if lightning spark, he got between them. Ye Chuan however saw a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes. Sharp-sighted and deft, without reaching out her hand to support herself, she deliberately waited for the final moment, to suddenly dodge to one side, thus the tragedy appeared. This woman¡¯s petite however curvy body lost her control and collided against the fatty meat of fatty. And the big bamboo hat on her head rolled down to the ground, revealing a beautiful face. Chapter 41: Pitiful woman Chapter 41: Pitiful woman ¡°Aiyo, aiyo¡­¡­¡± This woman fell to the ground. And on one side, she rubbed her bare leg and on the other side, she cried, as if she was injured heavily. ¡°Fatty, what¡¯s with you, are you blind or something? You bumped into others just like this, now that she is bruised, who will take the blame, you?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and with stern righteousness and dead earnest, he lectured fatty Zhao Dazhi who had an innocent face, while turning a deaf ear to the crying in pain sound of this exquisite girl. Fatty blushed with shame, and when he wanted to say something, Ye Chuan gave him a hint with his eyes, and he immediately kept his calm without getting excited. This woman looked very beautiful, although she was small, exquisite and a little short, but she had a curvy body, and wore especially bold clothing. On the upper part, she revealed half of her breast, and in the lower part, she revealed her two shining white long legs. And if one would lower their head, it seems they would be able to clearly see her thighs too. Her skirt cannot be any shorter. Any people that saw her would definitely drool, and if they saw her once, then they would feel like seeing her again. But thinking about it, this woman came too suddenly, and happens to coincidentally collide like that, this truly was somewhat strange. Fatty reacted but still couldn¡¯t help but looked at the body of this exquisite woman several times. Sure enough, seeing these two people weren¡¯t taking the bait, this woman no longer pretend. Snorting, she jumped up, ¡°Hey, brat, what did you say? Here a person is bruised, yet you two didn¡¯t help, you two are too excessive!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my junior apprentice-brother is fat, so his reaction was a bit slow, and was not able to dodge timely, bumping with you.¡± Ye Chuan made a formal apology, but his face had an indistinct smile, while sizing up this woman. Then leading fatty, he swaggered off. Although he made an apology, but how come these words sound blandness? Fatty thought with a smile, after Big Senior Apprentice-Brother straightened out his thoughts, his sarcasm was truly one of a kind, making him readily acknowledge his inferiority. This exquisite woman got even angrier, then chasing after them while stamping her foot, she said to Ye Chuan walking in the front, ¡°Hey, walking away just like this? In any case, Cloud Mist Sect is also an ancient sect, but as a Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of this grand sect, aren¡¯t you taking advantage of your position to bully people, also especially bullying a weak woman?¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± Ye Chuan stopped his steps, and he became a bit more alert. And knowing his identity was exposed, he coldly smiled, ¡°Young lady, are you really a weak woman?¡± ¡°Five Style Sect, Liu Hong.¡± This exquisite woman held her head high putting on airs, and stared at Ye Chuan with her big eyes. And her breasts seemed to be about to jump out from her small clothing. The eldest daughter of Five Style Sect¡¯s Sect Master, Liu Hong always was enthusiastic as fire, flirtatious, sexy and bold. Who doesn¡¯t know her in entire Cloud Mist Mountain range? Fatty suddenly realized, and subconsciously took several glances at the breast of Liu Hong again. This woman was not tall, but her boobies were truly too big ah, instead of getting taller, her domain was breast. No wonder, there was a rumor that, the breast of the golden daughter of Five Style Sect, if seen by male disciple, they would drool, and if seen by female disciples, they would be torn by grief and indignation. ¡°I don¡¯t know you.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said, then continued on walking, nearly causing fatty who was secretly thinking of how to strike up a conversation to pass out. With such great beauty who could cause all the people drool in front of him, who could coldly turn a blind eye like this? Amazing, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother truly is Big Senior Apprentice-Brother! ¡°Halt, this miss still hasn¡¯t finished talking!¡± Liu Hong stomped, and again blocking Ye Chuan, she fished out silvers and threw them on the ground, ¡°There is a rumor outside, Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan suddenly got enlightened, as it now seems, this really isn¡¯t fake, and you didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid in front of Flame Devil. Take out that bag of soil of just now, here are 300 taels of silver, this miss wants it.¡± This woman isn¡¯t simple! Ye Chuan became even more alert, ¡°Sorry, it¡¯s not for sale!¡± This feeling of people staring was very bad, Ye Chuan made a prompt decision and rushed forward. Liu Hong also wanted to step forward to block the way, but a kind of invisible force appeared in front of her body and blocked her, so she could only look at Ye Chuan brushing past her helplessly. In the dim underpass, suddenly a cold wind blew. And Ye Chuan who was rushing forward suddenly stopped his steps, and fatty Zhao Dazhi, rushing behind him, who didn¡¯t make any preparation nearly collided against Ye Chuan. ¡°Who¡¯s there, come out!¡± Ye Chuan secretly gestured, signaling fatty to be careful, and his eyes flashed with pallid light. ¡°Not bad, not bad, you really have some skill. Who said that the Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Cloud Mist Sect was a good-for-nothing waste?¡± The air suddenly distorted, and slowly an expressionless black robed person appeared. He was tall and big with a handsome face, but his coldness gave uncomfortable feeling to others. Wind Style! Displaying Style Skill of Five Style Sect, this black robed person suddenly appeared out of thin air. With his Rank 3 Xiushi cultivation, he displayed the might of this secret technique. With Black Claudron Sect¡¯s cultivation technique, their disciples were good at fighting at close quarters, but Five Style Sect was almost exactly the opposite, they pursue one attack certain kill principle, their disciples were best at long distant attack and assassination. Seeing the figure of this black robed person, fatty Zhao Dazhi suddenly trembled involuntarily, and exclaimed: ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Five Style Sect, Gushan Leng?¡± ¡°Yes, I am Gushan Leng.¡± This black robed person Gushan Leng was obviously very satisfied with the reaction of fatty, ¡°What did junior apprentice-sister Liu Hong said just now? What did she ask you two to take out, take it out on your own. Junior apprentice-sister Liu Hong taking a fancy upon your thing is your honor.¡± ¡°What if I say no?¡± Ye Chuan smiled, and he completely didn¡¯t have tension and restlessness of fatty. On the surface, he maintained his composure, but within his body, he began to rapidly circulate Heaven Swallowing Talisman, secretly brewing a deadly attack. Rank 6 Wuzhe versus Rank 3 Xiushi, the gap between them were too big. The pressure of Gushan Leng directly hit his face trying to seize the advantage, but Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t back down. In the dim underpass, suddenly they were ready to fight. Seeing a fierce battle was about to erupt, Liu Hong walked up, then looking at Gushan Leng and Ye Chuan who were ready to fight for a while, she shouted, ¡°Stop, Ghost Market strictly forbids private battles. As Cloud Mist Sect and Five Style Sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother, do you two want to take a lead to violate this law? Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, forget it, I was merely teasing them just now, it¡¯s just a bag of soil, what do I do with it?¡± Liu Hong who had triggered the conflict suddenly took the initiative to step up and dissolve the conflict between the two sides. With her exquisite looks, and also that too delicate voice, made people unable to refuse her. ¡°Humph, since junior apprentice-sister spoke this way, this young master will spare your life for now. Brat, Great Competition is right around the corner, I hope, at that time, you will have the ability to take few more strikes, don¡¯t let me down. If a grand Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of a sect died in a single slap, then that would be too boring. Hahaha¡­¡­¡± Gushan Leng stepped aside and holding onto the slender waist of Liu Hong, he roared with laughter looking at Ye Chuan. ¡°Rest assured, you will not be disappointed.¡± Ye Chuan looked at cute and well-developed Liu Hong, and secretly thought it was a pity. Then quickly left with fatty Zhao Dazhi. Such an exquisite and charming woman with a different kind of bearing compared to Zhu Sijia, but it¡¯s too pity, she nevertheless is fickle and lascivious, and was bowing to such pig-headed Gushan Leng. The onlookers were increasing, so Ye Chuan hurried to leave. After accidentally obtaining these mysterious seeds, in his eyes, these seeds were more valuable compared to all the treasures in the Ghost Market added together. Although Gushan Leng was aggressive, but at this moment, it was not necessary to lower himself to the same level as him. The longer he delayed, the more easily these mysterious seeds will attract the attention of the observant and conscientious person, and loss will outweigh the gain. Chapter 42: White Furred Pig Chapter 42: White Furred Pig Immediately after leaving the valley where Ghost Market was located, Ye Chuan quickened his pace, hastily returning to Cloud Mist Sect. When he reached the sect, the sun had already set in the west. ¡°Fatty, don¡¯t tell anything to anyone about those mysterious speeds, including Miss Jiajia.¡± Ye Chuan warned fatty, then went up the mountain by himself. Behind, the sound of fatty agreeing came over. Fatty was not stupid, on the contrary was very clever. He knew that these mysterious seeds they had accidentally obtained today were extraordinary. If other knew about them, then perhaps that might bring them great trouble. Returning back to the Purple Cloud Courtyard, Ye Chuan quickly became busy. After pondering for a while, he decided to not plant these seeds in his courtyard, then went straight to Evil Dragon Abyss in the mountain behind, there he planted the remaining more than 10 seeds. This cyan colored seeds made him think of a kind of tree which he had seen millions of years ago, merely he didn¡¯t dare to confirm that¡¯s all. But, the thing that was able to stir up Cyan Lotus Lamp was definitely a good thing. The danger of Evil Dragon Abyss was unfathomable, no-one knows what kind of terrifying yao devil was hidden in the bottom of this Evil Dragon Abyss. The dangerous aura was growing with each passing day and dangerous ripples were also violent in the sky, but the heavenly spiritual qi was also especially dense in this place, and Yang Qi was also surging, so this place was richly endowed by nature place for some medicinal herbs, making them capable of giving birth to rare treasures. After carefully looking all around, Ye Chuan circulated Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, then moving over hundred heavy boulders, he silently recited an incantation and arranged an ancient Stone Forest Formation to protect the just planted seeds. In the eyes of mortals, this stone forest was merely a pile of rocks, and in the eyes of cultivators and yao beasts, they nevertheless were powerful formation of stones. Once they approach 3 meters inside, touching the formation, icy stones would shake and instantly change into terrifying stone puppets. Moreover this mountain and Evil Dragon Abyss was Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s forbidden area, so anybody couldn¡¯t come here as they please. As a result the main objective of this Stone Forest Formation was to guard against the yao beast that might come here. As long as heavenly spiritual qi give birth to a rare treasure, that would definitely attract many yao beasts, so in order to protect these mysterious seeds, Ye Chuan made an early preparation. When he was at his peak and could conceal the heaven with his hand, arranging this Stone Forest Formation was merely as easy as lifting his finger, but now with this body, he had to spend no less than six hours to arrange it completely, which was still the simplest kind. Rank 6 Wuzhe, among the ordinary disciples, this kind of cultivation was counted as not low, but to display the real might of many martial techniques, one should at least have the cultivation of Xiushi realm. Taking the closer look and confirming that there was no problem, Ye Chuan dragged his weary body back. Returning to Purple Cloud Courtyard, he sat cross-legged in the study and concentrated on cultivating. Silently reciting Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique, pure heavenly spiritual qi continuously gathered in the sky, then seeping into his body, they slowly moistened and tempered his bones physique and internal organs. Rank 6 Wuzhe tempers internal organs, and after breaking through to Rank 7 Wuzhe, they had to temper blood. After thoroughly tempering skin, flesh, tendon, bones, bone marrow, internal organs and blood once, their body will have a real transformation, stepping into Xiushi realm. Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique, he had obtained in God Burial Valley was really extraordinary, he had just cultivated for a while, and the internal organs of Ye Chuan already had a layer of gloss, and the blood in his body surged forward, indistinctly having the sign of breaking through to Rank 7 Wuzhe. Although his body was rapidly strengthening, but the injury in his spirit caused by the Yang Qi of Jin Zhikun however didn¡¯t have much improvement. ¡°Jin¡­¡­Zhi¡­¡­kun¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan said word by word with ice-cold complexion. Compared to silkpants Jin Hua and Advisor He Taixu, Jin Zhikun was undoubtedly more powerful, whether in cultivation or scheming. The later his retaliation, the more violent it would be, this absolutely wasn¡¯t a small matter. To deal with this kind of opponent, the method of Ye Chuan had always been to strike first and gain the upper hand, eliminating the threat and hidden trouble in advance. Unfortunately, with his current Rank 6 Wuzhe cultivation, killing Rank 7 Xiushi, Jin Zhikun who was about to breakthrough to Daoist Master realm, absolutely was a moth darting into a flame. If he breakthrough to Xiushi realm, then he might have a little bit of certainty. Ye Chuan sighed and discarded the distracting thoughts, and gradually entering into the selfless realm, he continued to cultivate. Early in the next morning, in the dawn, Ye Chuan hurriedly swept the courtyard, then went straight to the mountain behind. And arriving at Evil Dragon Abyss, he was greatly surprised. In a night¡¯s time, the planted mysterious seeds had germinated, changing into three feet tall sapling. And there was a faint fragrance in the air, which although average person might not be able to perceive, but yao beast with many times more sensitive senses could easily sense it. Inside the stone forest, the corpses of yao beast were lying in disorder. There were flying bird with pointed teeth sharp claw, numerous black snake and furthermore several ferocious two headed hounds. If there was no protection of stone forest, then even a small bits might not be left of these saplings. ¡°Good fragrance, in the end, what is this tree?¡± Ye Chuan took a deep breath, inhaling the faint fragrance in the sky, then he felt very comfortable, and his spirit also unexpectedly started to stir up. Looking at this three feet tall saplings which had changed from seeds in a single night¡¯s time, Ye Chuan was amazed. He wondered whether this had happened because of the specific property of mysterious seeds themselves, or because of the richly endowed by nature condition of Evil Dragon Abyss. Looking all around for a while, he quickly sort out the corpses of yao beast inside the stone forest, then reinforced some damaged part of Stone Forest Formation. Then looking at the continuous rising and falling mountain range and ferocious Evil Dragon Abyss, he still was somewhat ill at ease, so he arranged a simple illusion formation over this Stone Forest Formation. After that, a white smoke concealed the stone forest, in order to avoid alarming the distant cultivators. Now there were only five days left for the Great Competition of three large sects. If he wished to cope with the challenges of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, then Ye Chuan must raise his cultivation and strength before the Great Competition, and the most important thing was to cure his heavily wounded spirit. He didn¡¯t need to completely heal it, at least heal it enough to be able to command Golden Cicada King smoothly and easily. Once a spirit was injured, it had always been troublesome to heal it. Now Ye Chuan pinned his hopes in these mysterious saplings. After strengthening the protection, Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the spot, and began cultivating beside Evil Dragon Abyss. In the vicinity of Evil Dragon Abyss, there was dense Yang Qi, which was very beneficial for the recovery of the spirit. But wanting to rapidly restore back to his old state and even strengthen it, the Yang Qi undulating in the sky was far from enough. Staying there till the stars appeared in the sky, Ye Chuan left this place and returned back to Purple Cloud Courtyard, and calmly cultivated. He had planned to go to Evil Dragon Abyss in the next morning, but before dawn when the sky was still dark, the space between his brows palpitate, and had a kind of feeling in his heart, then he immediately hurried over to Evil Dragon Abyss. When he was still far away, he heard roaring sound coming from the direction of the stone forest, and the cold wind brought over a dense fragrance. Quietly going over, Ye Chuan was greatly surprised once again. In a night, the saplings had already changed into 1 meter tall trees, moreover it bore a greenish red colored fruit. This dense fragrance had come from this greenish red fruit, which was accompanied by pure spirit power fluctuation. Inside and outside of the stone forest, there were many corpses of yao beasts, and now bucket like thick nine headed snake and white colored small wild pig were in the process of fighting against each other for that fruit. Moreover the Stone Forest Formation was already broken open by force. This wild pig was very small, it seems to have born just some time ago, was fat and tender, and looked very cute just like a small pet, but was unique and was very rarely seen in the back mountain. Although its size was small, but it actually dared to contend with huge and ferocious nine headed snake. It occasionally roared and its sound unexpectedly was just like that of dragon and tiger, clearly was also Wilderness mutated species. ¡°This is¡­¡­, Qingyang fruit?¡± Ye Chuan exclaimed, and sweeping past White Furred Pig and big snake, his gaze that were fixed at those greenish red fruit rapidly became scorching hot. Chapter 43: Unexpected harvest Chapter 43: Unexpected harvest Each mountain of Cloud Mist Sect had many medicinal herbs planted. Among them, there was no lack of rare and strange herbs, which were important materials to refine the highest grade pills. The Purple Cloud Peak where Sect master used to stay was naturally also no exception. But none of these medicinal herbs made Ye Chuan so surprised and excited. In the Ghost Market, seeing these mysterious cyan colored seeds, he had vaguely guessed it somewhat, merely he was unable to be certain and also didn¡¯t dare to believe, that¡¯s all. Millions of years ago, when he was still aloof and remote Heaven Concealing Great Sage who could conceal the heaven with his hand, Qingyang fruit was already a kind of rare worldly treasure, which was yearned by countless experts. This treasure that is given birth by worldly spiritual qi, in addition to having the ability to cleanse muscles, refine marrow and accelerate the cultivation speed, it even more was a great tonic for the spirit. It is a thing that is yearned even in their dreams by the cultivators who cultivates various magical techniques. Ye Chuan stretched out his hand, and Cyan Lotus Lamp appeared in his hand, then with a thought, Golden Cicada King flew out from inside the Cyan Lotus Lamp, hovering above his head. Each Qingyang tree only bears one Qingyang fruit, and after the fruit was plucked, the fruit tree would wither and die. This was the consequence of the absurdly fast growth of fruit tree due to the excessively boundless Yang qi around. The stone forest was already destroyed by yao beasts, and among the 13 Qingyang trees, only 5 remained intact. He didn¡¯t know whether the other Qingyang fruits had fallen into Evil Dragon Abyss or eaten by yao beasts, but Ye Chuan was determined to win these final 5 Qingyang fruits! Ye Chuan secretly circulated Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, however he kept calm without attacking immediately, and silently wait for a favorable opportunity. Although he had arranged Stone Forest Formation with some difficulty and hurriedly, but it was strong enough to withstand the attacks of Xiushi realm experts. But now, this formation was already destroyed by force and was filled with the corpses of yao beasts, this sufficiently shows the ferociousness of this small wild pig and nine headed snake. This small wild pig appeared to be born not long ago, but its innate skill was unusually high. As for this nine headed snake, it clearly was at least more than 1,000 years old. The longer the yao beasts had lived, the stronger the combat ability and the more ferocious they would be. So Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to be careless even a bit. After a while, when both yao beasts were intensely fighting at close quarters, suddenly, both of these yao beasts roared repeatedly. Nine headed snake was good at defending, one head would meet with an attack and other eight would immediately counterattack. As for small wild pig, it seems, with its extraordinary strength, it was good at attacking violently. Each attack would leave behind a deep wound on the body of nine headed snake, vaguely occupying an upper hand. Slowly, the injury of nine headed snake became heavier and heavier, and due to its inattentiveness, small wild pig bit 7 inch deep, giving it a heavy injury. Nine headed snake desperately fought back to free itself from this bite. Its long body conversely bound this small wild pig, and its nine heads desperately bit towards this small wild pig. Helpless, this small wild pig madly launched even more ferocious attacks, and didn¡¯t relax its bite in any case. After waging a desperate struggle for a while, the body of nine headed hydra slowly softened and fell down, simply was bit to death by this small wild pig. Roar¡­¡­ Small wild pig roared loudly, claiming its victory, then throwing off the corpse of nine headed hydra to one side, it hobbled towards Qingyang fruit. And just when it opened its mouth to bite off a Qingyang fruit, suddenly a golden light flashed before its eyes, and it immediately jumped behind. And with a pain in its neck, a trace of blood appeared. As expected of Wilderness mutated spices, even after a life and death fight with nine headed snake, this small wild pig was still able to dodge the sneak attack of Golden Cicada King! A simple and unsophisticated oil lamp suddenly drifted, and floated above the head of this small wild pig. Although the lamplight was dim, but with the warmness of this light, small wild pig suddenly appeared to be in a trance, and with the rise of peacefulness in its heart, it no longer had any fighting will. Under Cyan Lotus Lamp, all creation was at its mercy! In this period of time, Ye Chuan pondered about another mysterious aspect of Cyan Lotus Lamp. Unless the opponent¡¯s cultivation was far higher than his own, if caught in an unguarded state, more or less all of them would be unable to escape the imprisonment and effect of Cyan Lotus Lamp. Small wild pig suddenly roared angrily, and it seems it would sober up after an extremely short period of one breath of time. Its combat power was really outstanding. But this very short period of one breath of time was already enough for Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan who was hiding in the dark, immediately jumped out and circulating Heaven Swallowing Talisman, he mercilessly palmed towards small wild pig. With this 18,000 jin power, this innately skilled mutated yao beast was sent flying to more than 10 meters. Ye Chuan stepped on the ground, and just like a shadow, chased after it, and then raised his right hand. Just when was about to kill this yao beast, he saw the corpse of nine headed snake not far away, and suddenly had a thought. He silently recited his cultivation technique and forced out a drop of essence blood and dripped it into the space between the brows of this little wild pig. Then the surface of the body of this cute yet ferocious mutated yao beast shook and changing into a white light, it entered into Cyan Lotus Lamp. As long as it was Wilderness mutated species, it certainly had its exceptional points, just like Golden Cicada King. On his whim, Ye Chuan silently recited Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique to tame this ferocious beast, small wild pig. After reincarnation, he had to do everything over again, and must cultivate from the scratch. And if he wishes to regain his previous level cultivation, then even he himself didn¡¯t know how my storms and tribulation he must pass. And these innately skilled small wild pig and Golden Cicada King would undoubtedly be the best assistants of Ye Chuan to go through many difficulties in the future. ¡°These five Qingyang fruits are all mine!¡± Ye Chuan put away Cyan Lotus Lamp, then rushing inside the stone forest, he pick off all the remaining 5 Qingyang fruits, and without cleaning off the battlefield, he hurriedly left. Just after he walked away, a figure flew past in the sky and firmly landing on the ground, he walked steadily, but his speed was still faster than a flying sword. With eagle nose, black face, imposing stature and entire body¡¯s blood and qi seething with killing intent, he was no other than Alchemy Hall¡¯s Hall Master Jin Zhikun! The birth of Qingyang Fruit emitted a faint fragrance, and coupled with the energy fluctuation caused by numerous yao beasts fighting, this quickly alarmed the experts of Cloud Mist Sect. Alchemy Hall was not the nearest one from this mountain, still Hall Master Jin Zhikun had arrived here first. Unfortunately, he arrived one step late in spite of his astonishing speed. All the Qingyang trees beside Evil Dragon Abyss had already withered away, and with the surrounding mess, one couldn¡¯t see even a trace of them. Looking at the corpse of nine headed hydra, Jin Zhikun pricked up his brows, then suddenly stretching his hand he caught the void, and carefully sensing the reaction in front of him, her facial expression became overcast and uncertain, ¡°Eh, this is¡­¡­¡± Jin Zhikun frowned, as he vaguely sensed the aura of Ye Chuan in the air. This aura, made his complexion even gloomier. Recalling the tragic death of his son Jin Hua in the hands of Ye Chuan, his killing intent flourished, and he had the impulse to immediately go to Purple Cloud Peak and kill him. But recalling the warning of Third Elder, he had to restrain and endure again and again. It was already dawn, and every expert of Cloud Mist Sect came here stepping on their flying sword. While they were quietly cultivating, all of them sensed the unusual changes besides Evil Dragon Abyss. Unfortunately, all of them were late. Even Jin Zhikun was not able to gain anything, they even more had to return empty-handed. Perhaps because of the arrival of many people, the blood mist of Evil Dragon Abyss became denser, emitting more oppressive aura. Standing beside the abyss for a while, numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect felt restless, and all of them left in succession. And seeing this blood mist of Evil Dragon Abyss, a trace of horror and restlessness flashed in the eyes of Jin Zhikun, then he bitterly flew away. Chapter 44: Strange blazing person Chapter 44: Strange blazing person From a distant place, looking back towards numerous experts of sect rushing over to Evil Dragon Abyss stepping on their flying sword, Ye Chuan secretly shouted lucky, then choosing another path, he quietly returned to Purple Could Courtyard. Now the sky was already very bright. Ye Chuan sat down cross-legged, and taking out the Cyan Lotus Lamp, he carefully watch it first. And compared to before, this simple and unadorned small lamp which he had obtained in God Burial Valley had a layer of gloss. Moreover, there was also faint green light circulating, as if sleeping ancient life was gradually reawakening. Although the lamplight was dim, but it illuminate his body with warmness. With the appearance of warmness circulating within the body, Heaven Swallowing Talisman floated in this warm current. And observing carefully, once could discover two tiny black dots on the body of the lamp, and their position was continuously changing. These two lifelike patterns, as if flowing water circulated all around the lamp. One was Golden Cicada King, and other was white and fat small pig. And then with a thought of Ye Chuan, two yao beasts appeared beside him and felt like he would control them freely as if his fingers. Golden Cicada King changed into a golden light and landed on the palm of Ye Chuan, and its wings lightly patted his palm frequently, fanning up a little bit of air current. The bulge on its back had gotten bigger, showing more and more obvious sign of it transforming into six winged Golden Cicada. But unlike energetic Golden Cicada King, piggy seemed to have not woken up, just leaning against the leg of Ye Chuan, it was still sound asleep. Its sleeping appearance resembled a sleeping little panda. Looking at just its outer appearance, no one could see that this stupid looking cute piggy had unexpectedly bit ferocious nine headed snake to death. Ye Chuan thought carefully for a while but found that unexpectedly even he was unable to tell the origin of this piggy. Millions of years ago, when he could conceal the heaven with his hand, he once had charged seven times through the Ancient Ominous Domain, and once by himself used his two legs to measure the Wilderness World, but he didn¡¯t have any memory of seeing this kind of yao beast. He wondered whether this piggy was a mutated species of ancient yao beasts that had survived from ancient times or a new variant that came to be when he was trapped in God Burial Valley for millions of years. Millions of years ago, he could conceal the heaven with only his hand; now, after escaping from God Burial Valley, things have remained the same but the people were gone. Even Blue Eyed Yao Empress who was always beside him in former days, and Ghost Hand Medicinal King also had disappeared. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know what had happened in that millions of years, but one thing was certain, something big unforeseen event had definitely occurred in Wilderness World, which caused the emergence of many new experts and yao beasts. ¡°Even beside Evil Dragon Abyss, piggy, this kind of mutated beast appeared, then what about deeper inside the back mountain? Moreover in the depth of vast Cloud Mist Mountain range, what kind of peerless yao ghosts and Wilderness mutated yao beasts exist?¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s heart was somewhat yearning and surging. Millions of years ago, when he could conceal the heaven with only his hand, Blue Eyed Yao Empress, Ghost Hand Medicinal King and other followers would always stay beside him. Now, if he wishes to return to his previous position of Overlord of Wilderness World, and seize back everything he had lost as well as create a greater glory, then he by himself was far from enough, he needed a group of even more swift and fierce as if wolf and as if tiger followers. And personally taming innately skilled mutated Wilderness beasts were doubtfully the best choice. Ye Chuan made up his mind to go deeper into the Could Mist Mountain Range, but it was not until after Great Competition. At this moment, the most important things were to heal his wounded spirit and raise his cultivation before the Great Competition to make preparations. Ye Chuan took in Golden Cicada King and Piggy into the Cyan Lotus Lamp and put away the Cyan Lotus Lamp, then taking out Qingyang fruits, he carefully observed them one by one. Thick fragrance rapidly spread, filling the entire study with its fragrance. After observing for a good while, Ye Chuan slowly ate one Qingyang fruit. And feeling a little bit of sweetness on the tip of his tongue, his spirit loosens up and felt heat within his body as well as in lower abdomen. He felt as if a blazing fire was burning. After that, the scene of Jin Zhikun doing shadowboxing by himself in his courtyard with his entire blood and qi seething with Yang Qi, he had seen when he had used Yin Spirit Nightwalking appeared before his eyes, and indistinctly, Ye Chuan felt that the person doing shadowboxing in the courtyard changed into himself, then his spirit grew up strong and sturdy, yang qi within his body increased greatly and body also rapidly strengthened. Good! This is really a good thing! Ye Chuan didn¡¯t hesitate, and again ate another Qingyang fruit, then his lower abdomen became boiling hot all of a sudden, and his wounded spirit also completely healed at an astonishing speed, becoming even stronger than before. Grasping 3,000 techniques, Ye Chuan who could conceal the heaven with his hand at his most flourishing time, in this moment felt as if he had changed into a martial Xiushi, and just like formidable Jin Zhikun obtained Divine Yang Body. The Qingyan fruit seeds he had accidentally obtained in Ghost Market gave Ye Chuan unimaginable pleasant surprises. Sensing the changes in his spirit and body, Ye Chuan directly ate all the remaining Qingyang fruit at one go, then as if his body suddenly became a volcano, his blood changed into boiling hot magma. Although his entire body was boiling hot, but there was not even a bit of discomfort, on the contrary, he felt very comfortable all over his body. Every pore in his body were stretched open, and eagerly swallowed the worldly spiritual qi of the atmosphere like a whale. Now after the internal organs, the blood within his body had a tint of golden gloss. Blood Refining! Rank 7 Wuzhe! Unconsciously, Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation breakthrough to the final rank of Wuzhe realm. And within his body, another qi vortex faintly appeared, this was the sign of condensing second Heaven Swallowing Talisman. If he breakthrough again, then he would break away from the domain of mortal, and transformed into an infinitely powerful Xiushi with long life, truly embarking on the cultivation path of defying heaven! Ye Chuan was excited in his heart, and having experienced the breakthrough, he instantly felt carefree. Even when he was able to conceal the heaven with his hand, when his cultivation was much higher, and when his status was aloof and remote, he, however, had never felt this kind of carefreeness. This, this is the charm of cultivation. The path of cultivation could truly captivate a person, not an aloof and remote loner who seeks defeat, rather making a breakthrough to surpass the limit of oneself! After millions of years, he restarted to cultivate from the very beginning, this made Ye Chuan feel a kind of different charm. This breakthrough in cultivation realm was exciting to other people, but Ye Chuan was more concerned with not cultivation realm itself, rather his spirit. Spirit was the key for every Xiushi who yearns for various magical techniques. Wuzhe realms were the crux for laying down the good foundation, so as to facilitates the rapid development of spirit in coming days, so this Wuzhe realm was even more important! Hu! Practically without hesitation, Ye Chuan used a magical technique to let out his spirit from his body, and spread out his divine sense, feeling the outside world. In the study, there was still lingering fragrance of Qingyang fruit; Outside, a centipede running along the corner of the wall, feeling the yang qi within the body of Ye Chuan, ran away in panic. In the sky of Purple Cloud Peak, worldly spirit qi was gushing in like tidewater, forming a spectacular spiritual qi vortex. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. The spirit of Ye Chuan steadily rose as if riding the clouds and flying on the mist, and his divine sense spread far away. Compared to before, his spirit had grown three times more powerful, and the range of his divine sense slowly spread from Purple Cloud Courtyard to entire Purple Cloud Peak, then entire Cloud Mist Sect. His divine sense swept numerous peaks of Cloud Mist Sect. Just then, a scorching hot flame appeared in the divine sense of Ye Chuan, which was accompanied by loud and clear roars and bursts of exclamation. Carefully sensing with his divine sense, he realized that this was not a flame, rather an expert with his whole body shrouded in flame. He moved a hundred meters in one step, and was holding a person in his underarm who was constantly struggling. That short and stout person and that voice seemed very familiar. Fatty? Ye Chuan was startled, and his spirit quickly returned back to his body and his complexion became solemn. And before he could go to rescue fatty, he heard fatty¡¯s crying out in alarm sound at the foot of the mountain. This strange person who was shrouded in flame unexpectedly came straight towards Purple Cloud Courtyard! Chapter 45: I don’t want this treasure Chapter 45: I don¡¯t want this treasure The speed of this strange blazing person was astonishing, very quickly, he arrived right outside the door holding fatty Zhao Dazhi. Great Devil, that lived in seclusion in the Wilderness, still Tuoba Xiong or Jin Zhikun, who asked him to come here? Ye Chuan complexion became solemn, yet he calmly opened the door and walked out. Threatening heat waves directly hit his face, and this strange blazing person rushed over and stopped 10 meters away all of a sudden. And a tyrannical aura quickly shrouded the entire Purple Cloud Courtyard. ¡°Senior Apprentice-Brother, quickly leave, Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, quickly leave!¡± The voice of fatty Zhao Dazhi came from the midst of this flame. Although his body was still not yet roasted and cooked by this flame, but it could be seen that he was almost at that point, and he was increasingly becoming weak and was powerless to struggle. At this time, he didn¡¯t beg Ye Chuan to save him from danger, instead warned him to flee, which was rare. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t walk away, even if it was not for fatty, he wouldn¡¯t run away easily before the battle. Calmly he carefully sized up this strange blazing person before him, and slowly, he indistinctly felt that this person¡¯s face was familiar, ¡°Flame Devil, you¡­¡­, are you Flame Devil?¡± Ye Chuan exclaimed, he had never expected that this terrifying Flame Devil of Ghost Market would unexpectedly change into this appearance. After the short duration of shock, he sized up the body of Flame Devil and quickly understood what was going on, and relaxed greatly. Scorching Sun Body that was cultivated by Flame Devil after all was a higher achievement of Divine Yang Body, so the Yang Qi surging in his body was incomparably fierce. But accidentally meeting with terrifying backlash, Flame Devil was like this. All the Yang Qi within his body had already gone out of his control, and his face was already cracked, moreover the Yang Qi within his body as if red-hot magma was about to erupt. When Ye Chuan had seen the condition of Flame Devil in the Ghost Market, he immediately understood that Flame Devil didn¡¯t have much time. But he had never thought that, before it was even three days, merely in the time period of a night, Flame Devil had already changed into this appearance. The flame enveloping his body was not a kind of ordinary flame, rather was the scorching fire emitted by his Scorching Sun Body, which was burning the body of Flame Devil. Now the latter¡¯s body could be reduced to ashes at any time. ¡°Boy, my heart¡¯s veins are blocked up, blocking the circulation of Scorching Sun Qi, what should I do?¡± The hoarse voice of Flame Devil came from the midst of flame. And from the thumb sized crack of his body, flame sprang out. And it seems the entire person was about to thoroughly change into a fireball at any time, looked very frightening. And the fatty Zhao Dazhi who was held under his arm was already half dead with fright and was ghastly pale. ¡°Put down my junior apprentice-brother first.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said. After clearly seeing the appearance of Flame Devil, he immediately understood his purpose of coming, and completely relaxed his heart. Now, even if he didn¡¯t talk about all under the heaven, at least within the radius of thousand li, perhaps he was the only one who could save this Flame Devil. Those years, the capable subordinate Flame King beside him also cultivated Scorching Sun Body, and similarly also suffered backlash, moreover his circumstance was far worse compared to Flame Devil, but with the help of Ye Chuan, he pulled through that circumstance. ¡°Quickly speak!¡± Flame Devil tossed away fatty, then stepping forward, he ferociously stared at Ye Chuan. The energy circulation within his body was getting more and more chaotic, and soon he wouldn¡¯t be able to thoroughly keep it under his control. In Ghost Market, suddenly hearing Ye Chuan saying he was a checkmated person and cannot live past three days, Flame Devil was greatly surprised. He believed that Ye Chuan was talking nonsense, merely he himself was well aware of his condition. At that time, he obviously got angry, merely he didn¡¯t dare to casually raise his hand against Ye Chuan, if it was anyone else, then he would have already torn him into pieces in Ghost Market. With regards to the three days spoken by Ye Chuan, Flame Devil was half believing, half doubting. But merely in a night, he was unable to hold up, and when he was almost about to get out of control, he naturally recalled Ye Chuan. Although he didn¡¯t know who exactly Ye Chuan was, but he clearly knew fatty Zhao Dazhi, so he quickly came to Cloud Mist Sect. And poor fatty thereupon had his tragedy almost changing into a roasted pig. ¡°Fatty, honored guest has come to our sect, but you are still not preparing tea?¡± Ye Chuan indifferently instructed, and casually sat down on the green slabstone. The cracked body of Flame Devil was emitting flames, and really was going to burst into flame, but he still remained calm. As for fatty, he was dumbfounded after get up with great difficulty, then he quickly rushed into Purple Cloud Courtyard, and bring out a tea set, then poured the tea. Early in the morning, when he had just come out of the sect, he was almost killed by Flame Devil all of a sudden, this scared the wits out of him. Still, although his clothing was burned, his body was not injured seriously. ¡°Boy, here, this Jade Butterfly is yours, now speak how to cure this!¡± Flame Devil stretched out his hand and took out a blackened thing from his bosom, then threw it to the front of Ye Chuan. This thing was none other than the black colored Jade Butterfly which Ye Chuan had taken a fancy in Ghost Market. At that time, Flame Devil had said that it was not for sale, and wanted a Sage technique to exchange with it. Now, he however took it out without any hesitation. Checkmated person! When his life was coming to its end, and was about to burn to ashes, Flame Devil finally felt the preciousness of life. This moment, he didn¡¯t care about any techniques or any treasures, all of them were secondary. Expert! Sure enough, is an expert, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is indeed an expert ah! Fatty Zhao Dazhi was stunned, but the expression of Ye Chuan was unchanged and indifferent. All of this seemed to be within his expectation. He didn¡¯t say anything, and ignoring about to burn into ashes Flame Devil, he merely examined the Jade Butterfly in his hand. This swarthy Jade butterfly looked ordinary and mediocre, and moreover was bit cracked, so even if it was tossed away to the roadside, perhaps not even beggars would show any interest in it, but Ye Chuan however carefully examined it. This Jade Butterfly was nothing, there wasn¡¯t any powerful formation engraved on it, and couldn¡¯t even be considered as the magic weapon, was completely useless. But what truly attracted the attention of Ye Chuan was, the quality of the material of this Jade Butterfly. It looked just like an ordinary porcelain, but in reality was very solid. Knocking it with a finger, it issued metalloid crisp sound, but it didn¡¯t have the coldness of metal, rather a trace of warmth came through it in his palm. And carefully sensing, he could sense a continuous ripple of subtle energy fluctuation. ¡°Mhm, really is Smoky Quartz. The quality is pretty good, merely, it is manufactured in a rough and slipshod way, so it¡¯s without a single redeeming feature for the cultivation of people.¡± Ye Chuan looked for a while, then casually throwing this Jade Butterfly to the ground, he said. Flame Devil didn¡¯t know all about the goods, he merely knew that the material quality of this Jade Butterfly that was dug out from an ancient tomb was very unusual, and he believed that this was some kind of ancient treasure, so he had always treated this Jade Butterfly as his baby. But here, Ye Chuan looked at it for a while, then indifferently said without any interest, ¡°Senior Flame Devil, you can take back this Jade Butterfly. With the backlash of Scorching Sun Body and having one¡¯s heart¡¯s veins blocked up, if you want to resolve this, it¡¯s not that it¡¯s impossible, rather it¡¯s too difficult, too difficult. I am afraid I am powerless. Senior should still have two days left, so you can go back and make the preparation of your funeral. Perhaps just like the saying Heaven helps the worthy, you might be able to escape this disaster after two days of recuperation while feeling at ease.¡± In the Ghost Market, he had so many top quality crystal stones, but Ye Chuan had merely taken a fancy to this Jade Butterfly, for this reason, Ye Chuan and Flame Devil had nearly broken into a conflict. Now, Flame Devil voluntarily delivered it to the doorsteps, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want it. ¡°Boy, you¡­¡­¡± Flame Devil glared and the flame of his body rose suddenly and sharply with a thunderous noise, then he slapped out his palm towards Ye Chuan. He had live in seclusion in Ghost Market for so many years, and for the sake of resolving this calamity, he was hoping to have the aid of Cloud Mist mountain range¡¯s worldly spiritual qi to treat his injury. And in all these last few years, he had also seen many experts of Cloud Mist Sect, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, but the only person that was able to discern his hidden trouble was Ye Chuan. With great disaster hanging over him as well as when he didn¡¯t know what to do, Ye Chuan became his final hope. And for this, he immediately gave his beloved Jade Butterfly without the slightest bit of hesitation. But who would have thought that Ye Chuan who had taken a fancy to this Jade Butterfly in the Ghost Market actually didn¡¯t want it now? Flame Devil was startled and also angry. His body emitted even more terrifying flame, and instantly being unable to control the flames of the fury of his heart, he angrily raised his hand. Chapter 46: Medicine Slave Chapter 46: Medicine Slave Flame Devil who angrily raised his hand with his twisted and cracked face looked very ferocious and frightening at this moment. ¡°Big-Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi who was pouring tea at one side cried out in alarm. With his entire body trembling, even if he wanted to step forward to help, he nevertheless was powerless. Both of his legs became soft and didn¡¯t listen to his instruction. The teapot in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The speed of Flame Devil was astonishing, and dense killing intent spread out from his body which was shrouded by scorching hot flame. Now he looked just like an ancient time yao beast which had gone insane. Fatty who was looking all this from the sidelines practically was scared out of his wits, but Ye Chuan who was the first to be affected remained calm and still sat cross-legged on the green slabstone without any movement. When Fame Devil arrived ten steps away, Ye Chuan was still motionless. When the distance between them was only three steps away, Ye Chuan as before didn¡¯t even blink his eyes, treating Flame Devil who was moving threateningly towards himself as an air. But this palm covered in scorching hot flame, when was only half an inch away from the chest of Ye Chuan, suddenly stopped. And the palm wind was so fierce that it blew the robe of Ye Chuan. Ferocious Flame Devil who had viciously raised his hand stopped himself at the final moment. ¡°Continue, continue, why aren¡¯t you continuing to hit me? Senior Flame Devil, aren¡¯t you very powerful?¡± Ye Chuan laughed, but his complexion was flat, as, this reaction of Flame Devil was already under his expectation. If he could survive this catastrophe by himself, then Flame Devil wouldn¡¯t have waited until now, dragging on to this point. Rashly killing Ye Chuan was merely harming himself and cutting off his final gleam of hope. ¡°I have a bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pills, I will present all of them to you.¡± Flame Devil turned his finger¡¯s storage ring, then took out a bottle of pills. Inside there were ten or so top grade Marrow Cleansing Pills. Even one top grade Marrow Cleansing Pill was something hard to come by, moreover they were also very expensive. And here he was offering a bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pills, this could be sold at the price as high as heaven in black-markets. The eyes of fatty shone. Taking a single Marrow Cleansing Pill given to him by Ye Chuan, he was finally able to fulfill his wish of breaking through to Xuishi realm. If he was able to take this bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pills, then wouldn¡¯t he be able to quickly become an expert of Xiushi realm, even to the extent of charging to Daoist Master realm? The eyes of fatty shone, and his eyes became scorching hot, but Ye Chuan remained unmoved, and without even lifting his eyelid, he shook his head, ¡°These Marrow Cleansing Pills are pretty good, unfortunately, I don¡¯t need them. This kind of Marrow Cleansing Pills are useless to me.¡± ¡°I have a cultivation technique, All Directions Scorching Sun Technique. It is the strongest cultivation technique all under the heaven to cultivate Scorching Sun Body. I will pass down this cultivation technique to you. I have emptied my pocket, what about now?¡± Flame Devil gritted his teeth, ready to risk everything. This cultivation technique was his sect¡¯s technique which was not allowed to pass down, and also was his life technique. Many years ago, someone used a Sage technique to exchange with him, but he didn¡¯t agree. Now, for the sake of resolving his disaster, and for the sake of his life, he had no choice but to take out this life technique to exchange. Flame Devil was really doing all he could, however, Ye Chuan still shook his head and said indifferently, ¡°All Direction Scorching Sun Technique is a good thing, is not that bad cultivation technique, but your cultivation ways has a problem, so it is very likely to be incomplete All Direction Scorching Sun Technique. Senior Flame Devil, even you become like this after cultivating this technique for the greater part of your life, why would I want to cultivate it? Can it be that to become like you one day?¡± Ye Chuan said calmly. He truly was not interested in the compensation laid down by Flame Devil. The cultivation technique All Direction Scorching Sun Technique of Flame Devil¡¯s sect was a priceless treasure, but to Ye Chuan, who was once a Heaven Concealing Great Saint controlling the Wilderness world, this really was nothing. No need to mention that Flame Devil only knew incomplete cultivation technique, Ye Chuan had several better cultivation techniques which were far more powerful than this All Direction Scorching Sun Technique to cultivate Scorching Sun Body. ¡°Boy, are you kidding me?¡± Flame Devil fiercely stared at Ye Chuan and the flame outside his body also flourished. Looking at the expression of Ye Chuan, his eyes flashed with an ominous glint, and began to have a thought of perishing together in his heart. He suddenly turned around, and his big hand grabbed the empty air, then fatty Zhao Dazhi on the sideline involuntarily flew towards him. And after catching him, a chilling smile appeared on his face. As for fatty, he was so scared that all the fatty meat on his body trembled. If he couldn¡¯t pass this calamity, then he was screwed. He had painstakingly cultivated for a lifetime, but his end fate was like this, so he was unwilling and resented, he hated all the people and even the entire Wilderness World. Since he would die in any case, he might as well kill, bring several people to be buried with him. ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, save me, save me¡­¡­¡± Fatty wailed mournfully and was very terrified as well as very resentful in his heart. Why am I the one who would always get the injuries? ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, then let him go.¡± Seeing extremely vicious Flame Devil who was beginning to think of doing everything without caring the consequences, Ye Chuan knew the time was just about enough, and said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to save you, merely¡­¡­¡± ¡°Merely what? Please tell me without any hesitation, noble son.¡± Flame Devil released fatty, and unwaveringly stared at Ye Chuan as if after drowning and drifting about in the river for a long time, he finally grab hold on a lifeline. ¡°Cloud Mist Sect has always been good at planting various kinds of medicinal herbs, and in the course of time, the sect has congealed a natural elixir of qi. And using a secret technique to absorb this natural elixir of qi, coupled with the nourishing of pure worldly spiritual qi, it could slowly recuperate your body. Cloud Mist Sect has many mountains peak, but this Purple Cloud Peak left behind by my master Sect Master, no matter in the natural elixir of qi or in worldly spiritual qi, it just happened to be richly endowed by nature.¡± After saying that, Ye Chuan hesitated for a while, then looking at Flame Devil, he said, ¡°It¡¯s just that, this Purple Cloud Peak has always been strictly prohibited to any outsiders to stay long, so¡­¡­¡± The complexion of Flame Devil was cloudy and uncertain, then the flames on his body increasingly flourished, burning his body and soul. And not even a moment later, it became unbearable, so snorting few times, he said in a low voice, ¡°Okay, then I will just join Cloud Mist Sect, and afterward, just like others, I will respectfully address noble son as Big Senior Apprentice-Brother.¡± ¡°What?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi exclaimed, then running far away from Flame Devil, he looked up and down. Although Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t have any restriction in identity, cultivation and age while recruiting disciples, but Flame Devil, this senior was truly too high leveled and his cultivation was also too strong. If he seriously joined Cloud Mist Sect, then what would happen in the sect¡¯s challenge of once every five days, wouldn¡¯t everybody have their heart in their mouth? ¡°Becoming a disciple, calling me Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, this is far from sufficient. If I want to help you to resolve this calamity, I have to pass down a secret technique, and do you think that would be this simple?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and silently reciting his technique, he forced out a drop of essence blood out of his finger, then making it float in front of Flame Devil, he indifferently said, ¡°Currently, I want to repair and sort out the Medicine Spirit Formations of mountains, as well as sort out the matter of growing medicinal herbs, so I just happens to need a medicine slave. If you are willing, then stay and swallow this drop of essence blood.¡± Flame Devil reached out his hand to catch this floating essence blood, then remaining silent for a while, he didn¡¯t answer immediately and his complexion became cloudy and uncertain. A drop of essence blood could imply many profoundness. An expert who was greatly proficient in techniques could control the body of other people, or even their spirit with a single drop of essence blood. Flame Devil had abundant experience, so he easily understood the meaning of Ye Chuan. Staying here to become a medicinal slave was merely Ye Chuan¡¯s nominal servant, but once he swallowed his essence blood, then Ye Chuan would be the real master, and in the future, it would be impossible to betray or have any thoughts to harm Ye Chuan. Flame Devil remained silent, and Ye Chuan also said nothing, and also didn¡¯t urge, he just leisurely sipped few mouthful of tea. After being trapped inside God Burial Valley for millions of years, he had learned a lesson, which was he should never leave any hidden danger beside him. And Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique he had obtained inside God Burial Valley was just perfect to resolve this problem. ¡°From now on, I, Flame Devil will follow noble son. Noble son is young and promising, and you will definitely not be just a fish of this small pool in the future.¡± After hesitating for a good while, Flame Devil sighed, then respectfully prostrated down. One was to live, as, if he hesitated for any longer, then he would be burned to ashes, so it was a necessary consequence. And on the other hand, he saw the extraordinary temperament of Ye Chuan, and thought that following Ye Chuan, he might be able to obtain greater accomplishment in the future. Instantly after swallowing the essence blood, in the heart of two people, a subtle telepathic connection appeared. ¡°Don¡¯t be so reluctant and unwilling. After many years, you will understand that it was your honor to follow me. At that time an average person like you, even if he cried to follow me, I will not accept him.¡± Ye Chuan looked at Flame Devil with flat complexion. Fatty Zhao Dazhi who was looking from the sideline thought this situation was anything but reassuring. He was itching to run far away from Ye Chuan, really afraid of getting especially himself into trouble. The latter¡¯s tone was also too crazy! Flame Devil finally admitted his defeat with great difficulty, but Ye Chuan was saying such words, wasn¡¯t he afraid of Flame Devil going insane and killing him? Flame Devil was stunned, also thought that he had heard wrongly, and suddenly lifting his head, his eyes glimmered with a trace of ominous glint. But before he could raise his hand to attack, his heart suddenly stopped and his four limbs got limp and painful. Moreover his spirit ached as if it was cut apart by an invisible dagger, and his whole body trembled. Only after a good while, this gradually took a turn for the better. ¡°Many thanks for the grace of not killing me, noble son.¡± Seeing the intentional and also unintentional smile on the face of Ye Chuan, Flame Devil quickly understood what was going on. ¡°Okay, carefully cultivate in the mountain.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, and seeing the flame around the body of Flame Devil was beginning to pulsate as well as flourishing more and more, and was almost at the point of going out of control, Ye Chuan raised his hand to save him. In fact, he was telling the truth, if it was millions of years ago, when he was able to conceal the heaven with only his hand, then he truly wouldn¡¯t have even looked at Flame Devil, this kind of average person. At that time, no matter if it was Blue Eyed Yao Empress or Ghost Hand Medicinal King or any others who accompanied beside him, which one of them was not Great Sage expert? With such lineup, why would he take in Flame Devil, this kind of little shrimp? But now, it was just a lie everyone loves to hear, no one would believe that was a truth! Ye Chuan shook his head, then instructed Fatty to bring the box of silver needles from inside the Purple Cloud Courtyard, and busied himself. Chapter 47: Again exploring Ghost Market Chapter 47: Again exploring Ghost Market There was a point, Ye Chuan truly wasn¡¯t speaking thoughtlessly. To help Flame Devil pass through this calamity, it was far from enough just giving few direction, rather he had to impart a technique, which wasn¡¯t a simple matter. For initial treatment, he used silver needles to prick the acupoints to prevent the deterioration of the injury, then Ye Chuan brought Flame Devil to the study. Afterward, according to his condition, Ye Chuan thought of a way. Now in Purple Cloud Courtyard which had revert back to clean and tranquil in the last period of time, suddenly a swarm of mutant flies, as if a moth darting into a flame, rushed over to Flame Devil, and began sucking his scorching hot Yang Qi and blood that was seething within his body. Unfortunately, just after they bit on the body of Flame Devil, their body immediately became bright red, and falling to the ground, they stopped breathing. Beside Flame Devil, the corpses of mutated flies piled up rapidly. Scorching Sun Fire erupted out from within his body, and like the barrage of mountain torrents, it was irresistible. And the blockage in his heart¡¯s vein was unable to block anymore, so could only unblock. If Ye Chuan was at his prime, then he would have many ways to help Flame Devil to treat his problem, but now, with this body with limited cultivation, he could only try a different approach. These mutated flies had nature of sucking blood, and had damaged the medicinal herbs of sect everywhere, but there was also extraordinary efficacy if used them properly. With Golden Cicada King forcing mutated flies out, these swarms of mutated flies were used to suck out Yang Qi from the body of Flame Devil, then they collapsed and another swarm of mutated flies quickly took over their place again. This kind of circumstance continued for entire day and night. In this day and night, Ye Chuan also wasn¡¯t idle, rather he sat cross-legged behind Flame Devil, and circulating Heaven Swallowing Talisman, he poured his spiritual power he had condensed with hard work into the body of Flame Devil, helping him treat his damaged meridians. Simultaneously, he passed down a unique technique to Flame Devil, and personally gave direction on how to cultivate and how to control Scorching Sun Fire. Early in the next morning, Flame Devil lightly moved, and woke from his cultivation. After one day and one night, the flame that shrouded his body had finally dissipated, and his cracked face also had a trace of moisture and luster. The disaster that had troubled him for many years finally passed. And after carefully looking at the changes in his body, Flame Devil was endlessly excited. He felt as if he was reincarnated. But the face of Ye Chuan who was sitting beside him was thin and pallid, and the energy fluctuation of his body was also inferior to before. In order to help Flame Devil treat his injury, Ye Chuan greatly exhausted his vitality. And feeling the excitement of Flame Devil, he slowly opened his eyes. ¡°Thank you for your kindness of saving my life, noble son. In the days to come, Flame Devil pledge my life to follow you. If I ever betray you, then I am ready to suffer heavenly lightning calamity and have my soul scatter!¡± Flame Devil knelt down. This time, he was sincerely respectful. Vitality was the most important thing for a cultivator, and merely with a glance, Flame Devil understood that Ye Chuan had paid a heavy price to help him. A man is neither grass nor tree, even if he was a great devil, he also couldn¡¯t help but was moved. ¡°Rise, your calamity still hasn¡¯t passed thoroughly. You still need a long time to fully recuperate. Stay here in the mountain and cultivate. Don¡¯t go down the mountain without my instruction.¡± Ye Chuan commanded and slowly closed his eyes, to cultivate so as to restore his vitality. Flame Devil was sensible, he just lightly flickered his fingers, and suddenly flame appeared in the sky, thoroughly burning the pile of flies¡¯ corpses on the ground. And after cleaning, he closed the door and withdrew. Then wearing a cotton cloth, and putting on a big bamboo hat, he went to patrol the mountain carrying a medicinal hoe on his shoulders. Now he immediately changed his identity, from a great devil of underground Ghost Market who frightened other people, he changed into a loyal medicine slave. ¡°Not bad, this Flame Devil really is a flexible person.¡± Inside the study, Ye Chuan nodded his head. He sat cross-legged inside the study, and although his body was still, but his divine sense was watching each and every move of Flame Devil. And seeing Flame Devil was obediently staying as a medicinal slave, he finally relaxed. And after cultivating for more than two hours, he met with fatty Zhao Dazhi and quietly left Cloud Mist Sect, again proceeding towards Ghost Market. The seeds of Qingyang fruit that he had accidentally obtained in Ghost Market gave Ye Chuan great benefit. But this time, for treating the injury of Flame Devil, he spent a large amount of his vitality, so he prepared to go to Ghost Market to try his luck again, and see if he could still find even more seeds of Qingyang fruit. Fatty Zhao Dazhi wanted to speak something but then hesitated, and he would frequently look towards Purple Cloud Courtyard. And he was finally unable to bear when they were going down the hill, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what about senior Flame Devil? Did he leave?¡± Yesterday, when Ye Chuan was helping Flame Devil in treating his injury, fatty had left Purple Cloud Peak to cultivate, so he didn¡¯t know the circumstance afterwards. ¡°Leave? How could that be? Now, he will never leave, he will live beside Big Senior Apprentice-Brother as a medicinal slave. Not everyone gets this kind of opportunity.¡± Ye Chuan laughed, bragging shamelessly. And when they were halfway down the mountain, Ye Chuan pointed, ¡°Look, over there.¡± Fatty followed the direction where Ye Chuan was pointing, and seeing the scene, he was dumbstruck. He wasn¡¯t able to believe what he was seeing. An old man with a big bamboo hat on his head was doing manual labor on the mountain in the scorching sun, he was waving medicine hoe to remove weeds. Dressed in a coarse and crude cotton clothes, although he had a big bamboo hat on his head, he was sweating like rain and his body covered with dust. Now he looked one hundred percent old farmer. ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡­, Flame Devil?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi rubbed his eyes, and got an unprecedented shock in his heart. Although this was unbelievable, but with that tall stature of the old man and furthermore with that trademark red colored beard, fatty understood that he hadn¡¯t misjudged this person. Originally, he believed that Ye Chuan and Flame Devil were not serious. But who would have thought that, Flame Devil who could summon wind and rain in Ghost Market was really leaving here as a medicine slave? Who will believe such news? With the seniority and cultivation of Flame Devil, no matter whether he joined Cloud Mist Sect, Black Cauldron Sect or Five Style Sect, all of them would welcome him with the position of at least Guest Elder. But now, he actually was leaving beside Ye Chuan as a medicinal slave without attracting public attention. This truly was too hard to believe. Fatty shook, and he looked at Ye Chuan, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother with increased respect once again, not because Ye Chaun was able to help Flame Devil treat his injury, but because of Ye Chuan¡¯s boldness and insight. All under the heaven, making Flame Devil, this grand Rank 5 Daoist Master realm expert, live beside him as a medicine slave, only Ye Chuan would dare to have this kind of thoughts! ¡°What good is a medicine slave? Fatty, let¡¯s go, afterwards, when I am not on the mountain, if you have any matters, you can directly look for Flame Devil. Of course, if you were the one to violate the rules and regulation of sect to do something bad, to say for example, female disciples chasing to kill you after you peep them bathing, then treat that I have never had this talk with you.¡± Ye Chuan patted the shoulder of fatty and strode away. ¡°Wait for me, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, wait for me!¡± Fatty as if awakening from a dream, speed up his steps chasing after Ye Chuan. And the two figures quickly disappeared among the vast mountains. Since this was the second time, Ye Chuan was familiar with the path, and quickly went straight to Ghost Market. And just when he reached the underground Ghost Market, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure. Zhu Sijia garbed in red attire was unexpectedly also in Ghost Market, and she was standing at the entrance of Ghost Market. It seems, she was especially waiting for Ye Chuan and fatty Zhao Dazhi. ¡°Miss Jiajia, what are you doing here?¡± Fatty exclaimed in surprise. ¡°Humph, if this Miss doesn¡¯t even have this small amount of skill, then how can this Miss still oversee in Ghost Market?¡± Zhu Sijia coldly snorted, and intentionally or unintentionally, she looked at Ye Chuan, then coldly said, ¡°Two days ago, you contradict with Great Devil Flame Devil in Ghost Market, nearly inviting a calamity. But there is no market today, why did you come? Could it be that you want to stir up trouble again?¡± Three large sects have eyes and ears both inside and outside Ghost Market. And in these past few days, Zhu Sijia who was overseeing underground Ghost Market naturally understood the whereabouts of two people, so she was able to easily stop them in the entrance of Ghost Market. ¡°Jiajia, you don¡¯t know, Flame Devil is already¡­¡­¡± Fatty was so excited that he almost blurted out the matter of Flame Devil becoming medicine slave of Purple Cloud Peak in public, but Ye Chuan hit him and gave him a meaningful glance, this sobered him up, and he hastily shut his mouth. ¡°We¡¯re not here to get into trouble, we¡¯re here to put out a fire. I head fatty saying, someone didn¡¯t have eyes, and unexpectedly spanked the buttocks of junior apprentice-sister. Senior apprentice-brother, I am here to immediately kill him. Daring to take cheap advantage of junior apprentice-sister, I would like to see who that fellow is! Fatty, where is he?¡± Ye Chuan looked all around. Fatty was so scared that he felt miserable, when did he say such words? Talking about spanking buttocks in front of Zhu Sijia, wasn¡¯t this looking for trouble? Sure enough, Zhu Sijia go angry all at once, and recalling that spank of Ye Chuan, she gnashed her teeth, and her assertive boobies jumped up and down like a little rabbit. ¡°It¡¯s just a joke, don¡¯t be angry, junior apprentice-sister. It is not good for your skin if you get angry too much. Today we came to buy some small items, absolutely will not cause trouble for junior apprentice-sister. Of course, if junior apprentice-sister isn¡¯t assured then you can come along.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, then taking a quick glance at the provocative figure of Zhu Sijia, he took fatty who was fearful and anxious, and left. Behind, Zhu Sijia stomped with her legs, and really followed them. Don¡¯t know whether this was because she really wasn¡¯t at ease, or want to look for an opportunity to ruthlessly retaliate to take her revenge. With the help of flames on the both sides, Ye Chuan went straight to the stall of Exploiter Hu. According to the customary rules, the underground Ghost Market held a big market once every three days. Although there was business usually too, but whether it was a seller, or the people that came to stroll, there were much fewer people. At noon, the old man nicknamed Exploiter Hu was lying inside his stall and was sleeping soundly, and the front of the stall was empty. ¡°Little¡­¡­, Little Seductress, where are you running? Eat my old man¡¯s stick!¡± Exploiter Hu muttered to himself, clicked his tongue and saliva flowed out from his mouth. He had a wretched smile on his face, wonder what he was dreaming. When he was just at the wonderful part of his dream, he was suddenly woken up by a noise. He raised his head and looked, then saw Ye Chuan was standing in front of him and was looking at him with a smile, and Zhu Shijia with the provocative figure was standing aside with disgust in her face. It seems she was itching to go far away from vulgar Exploiter Hu. Chapter 48: This person is sick in the head Chapter 48: This person is sick in the head ¡°Old man Hu, which girl are you dreaming, just say it.¡± Ye Chuan looked at Exploiter Hu with a smile, and then looked up and down few times. He truly was unable to tell that this old man who was already so senior in age was still so colorful. That smile he had when he was dreaming was so vulgar. Still eat his stick, just look at his old bones, his iron club had already changed into a caterpillar. Even if he wash it clean and lie down on the bed, would Little Seductress still be able to eat it? ¡°No, young man, don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± Exploiter Hu hastily shook his head, then shooting a glance at Zhu Shijia who was standing not far away, he became embarrassed. But Ye Chuan mentioning the pot that doesn¡¯t boil cause this old man to completely lose his face. But, Old ginger is hotter than new, old man Hu quickly come back to his sense, and pretending nothing had happened, he stopped smiling and said with a serious look, ¡°Boy, market day is still not here, so why did you come here?¡± ¡°Give me another bag of soil.¡± Ye Chuan took out 3 taels of silver and threw it to the counter. ¡°What?¡± Exploiter Hu thoroughly woke up all of a sudden. This person is sick. There is soil everywhere, and there is still a lot to be dug. Bought a bag, yet he still came to buy another bag again, either his head is abnormal, or he has so much money that he doesn¡¯t have any place to spend. Zhu Sijia who was standing on one side was also rather speechless with her eyes wide open. She thought that, Ye Chuan had accidentally discovered some kind of treasure, so she was quite interested to take a look at it. But who would have thought that, this fellow came all the way here to unexpectedly buy a bag of soil, which almost caused her to pass out. Exploiter Hu secretly muttered, but the movement of his hand was not slow, quickly taking out a shovel from the counter, ¡°A bag of soil costs 5 taels of silver, I will immediately dig it for you, how many bags do you want?¡± Exploiter Hu was Exploiter Hu, he recognized money, not the person. He quickly responded, raising the price to 5 taels of silver. No matter you are sick or not, you should make the money first. ¡°Damned old man, isn¡¯t this daylight robbery?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi opened his eyes wide, and before he could speak anymore, Ye Chuan grasped his shoulder. ¡°5 taels of silver, not a problem.¡± Ye Chuan stopped fatty, and looking at Exploiter Hu with a smile, he said, ¡°But¡­¡­, I don¡¯t want casually dug out soil, just like last time, I want the soil mixed with seeds.¡± ¡°Young man, are you looking for those seeds?¡± Exploiter Hu quickly responded. He was old but his brain was not rusty, instead was very sharp. And his pair of eyes suddenly lit up, downright was an old fox. ¡°Yes, I want those seeds, they are very good fish feedings. Eating them, my fishes are jumping around energetically.¡± Ye Chuan replied. Hearing this, fatty who was standing beside him had the expression of worship. Telling a lie without making a draft, and he didn¡¯t even have a red face or heart palpitate. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is indeed Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, he truly has the ability to act. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is feigning stupid, and the person who said he is stupid, is the real stupid! Zhu Shijia also understood, and angrily glared at Ye Chuan. Even she was also deceived by Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother was indeed detestable. Although Zhu Shijia was in bad mood in her heart, but she didn¡¯t flip out immediately, and patiently wait on one side. She was also somewhat curious about the seeds Ye Chuan had taken a fancy to. ¡°5 taels of silver a seed, that seed is very valuable, no matter how wealthy you are, you can¡¯t buy it outside.¡± Exploiter Hu sat on the spot and raise the price. He clearly wanted to ruthlessly slaughter Ye Chuan. ¡°No problem, how many do you have, I want all of them.¡± To the surprise of the old man, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t bargain, and agreed. And seeing the meaningful glance of Ye Chuan, fatty placed a big bag of silvers in front of Exploiter Hu. This heavy big bag had more than 200 taels of silver. This fellow really has too much money? Old man Hu was rather dumbfounded, he still truly hadn¡¯t noticed any good uses of those nameless seeds mixed with that soil. And before he could give them away for free, someone suddenly dropped in and purchased it at a high price. ¡°What, still not enough? If this is still too little, then there is nothing to be done, I can only leave without buying. The koi raised in my home loved to eat those seeds, but if they are too expensive to afford, then I also can do nothing about it.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and assumed to take the bag of money from the counter. ¡°Slow down, these silvers will be down payment, come back after three days.¡± Old man Hu said. ¡°No, I want it now.¡± Ye Chuan answered. Price can be settled through discussion, but he refused to yield an inch in terms of time in order to avoid any trouble that might arise due to delay. ¡°No, three days later, that¡¯s final.¡± Old man Hu seriously refused to trade them immediately. Perhaps he wanted to carefully think over what those seeds actually were or perhaps he wanted to seize the opportunity to raise the price to rip him off, no matter what Ye Chuan said, he refused to yield. Just then, a lithe and graceful woman walked over. This woman was short, was more than half a head shorter than Zhu Sijia, but was exquisite. It seemed she could be picked up with only one hand. Moreover her figure was sexy and curvy, and her boobies seemed bigger than Zhu Sijia¡¯s, wonder how many people drooled with greed seeing those boobies. Zhu Sijia however curled her lips in disdain. When Ye Chuan and old man Hu were quarreling endlessly, flirtatious Liu Hong turned her very slender waist and walked over, ¡°Yo, isn¡¯t this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Cloud Mist Sect, noble son Ye? I¡¯ve never thought we¡¯d meet again. Old man Hu, don¡¯t be so stingy, quickly give him the bag of seeds.¡± Liu Hong looked small and exquisite, and her character nevertheless was bold and uninhibited. Just like her dress, the shorter the clothing on her body, the better. Seeing her, old man Hu vigorously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Also wonder if the so-called Little Seductress he had seen in his dream was Liu Hong, this passionate and fiery woman or not. In the face of such a pretty, fresh and charming woman, no wonder his withered tree blossomed, and the old man was also in happy mood. ¡°Eldest Miss, this¡­¡­¡± Old man Hu stammered. With regarding the beauty of Liu Hong, he secretly drooled with greed, but on the surface, he was respectful. Among two of them, one was golden daughter of Five Style Sect¡¯s Sect Master, and other was merely ordinary outer disciple of Five Style Sect, so even if he got a bear gall, old man Hu didn¡¯t dare to have wild wishes to really eat the swan meat being an ugly toad, so in front of Liu Hong, he didn¡¯t dare to overstep etiquette. ¡°What, are the silvers given by noble son Ye not enough?¡± The complexion of Liu Hong got cold. ¡°No, this bag of silver is enough, merely¡­¡­¡± Old man Hu paused for a bit and spoke honestly, ¡°Merely, that bag of seeds of before, I also obtained it from another person, and those seeds are already sold out. So I was going to ask him again.¡± ¡°Who is that person?¡± Liu Hong asked. ¡°Outer sect disciple Wu Feng. I heard, recently he was transferred to Bluestone Mine. If you wish to find, then I¡¯m afraid¡­¡­¡± Old man Hu was rather embarrassed. The outer sect disciples of Cloud Mist Sect needs to grow medicinal herbs, but the outer sect disciples of Five Style Sect were even more bitterly forced. They need to frequently go underground to dig a mine. In the name of the exercise, this was actually the cheap labors of sects. Unlike other places, generally the mine fields of Cloud Mist mountain range were deep in the mountains where yao beasts ran wild, and a single carelessness meant death. Generally, after entering underground mine field, they wouldn¡¯t come out for three to six months. And if one wished to get in touch with a person that had entered the underground mine field, then don¡¯t know how much time and costs it would take. ¡°Got it, I will go myself.¡± Liu Hong turned around to look at Ye Chuan. The matter that was embarrassing for old man Hu was not worth mentioning for her. The guard of sect¡¯s mine was strict, and although he couldn¡¯t enter in, she however could freely enter and exit. ¡°Noble son Ye, leave this trivial matter to me. Are you going to come back in few days, or do you want to go to the underground mine with me to look for that person?¡± ¡°I will go with you.¡± Ye Chuan replied. There was no time to lose as the Great Competition was right around the corner, and he needed Qingyang fruit to quickly regain his strength. ¡°Well, noble son really is straight-forward, let¡¯s go!¡± The eyes of Liu Hong lit up, then turning around, she led the way. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Seeing Ye Chuan was about to follow, fatty Zhao Dazhi got anxious. Who is Liu Hong? She is the golden daughter of Five Style Sect¡¯s Sect Master, her status is not ordinary. Over the years, although the relationship of Cloud Mist Sect with Five Style Sect was not as tense as the relationship with Black Cauldron Sect, but Five Style Sect was also continuously competing secretly. In just this fashion, Ye Chuan go with Liu Hong, but if by any chance this was a trap and he met with ambush, then what¡¯s to be done? ¡°Fatty, it¡¯s all right, you go back first. If I don¡¯t come back before night, then look for medicine slave.¡± Ye Chuan instructed, then followed after Liu Hong with large strides. ¡°Hey, brat, are you really going with this woman?¡± Zhu Sijia finally spoke while gritting her teeth. Seeing Ye Chuan and Liu Hong with the sexy figure walking together, she didn¡¯t know why, she began to get angry in her heart. In Cloud Mist mountain range, the reputation of Five Style Sect¡¯s Liu Hong was not bad. Relying on her status of the golden daughter and her beauty, even she herself didn¡¯t know how many sect disciples she attracted and incited. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was not up to much, but after all was one of the large sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. If he went along with Liu Hong just like this, then wouldn¡¯t it be¡­¡­ Zhu Sijia really didn¡¯t continue to only see. Ye Chuan spending several hundred taels of silver to buy a bag of soil, it doesn¡¯t matter, as he was a blockhead in money matters. But seeing together with fickle and lascivious Liu Hong, she immediately burn with anger. ¡°It is fighting that shows love, sure enough, junior apprentice-sister is still most concerned about me. However, junior apprentice-sister, you can rest assured, senior apprentice-brother has propriety, guarantees nothing will happen. Just properly clean yourself, and we¡¯ll meet in the same old place tonight.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, then swaggered off. Behind, vulgar faced old man Hu looked at Zhu Sijia from top to bottom, and smiled ambiguously. Hearing the words of Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia was so angry that she violently stamped her foot, and she happens to see the vulgar gaze of old man Hu, thereupon, this famous stingy old man suffered a tragedy. With the kick of Zhu Sijia, the bottles and jars in his stall fell to the ground and broke. Chapter 49: Bluestone Field Chapter 49: Bluestone Field With the lead of Liu Hong, Ye Chuan left underground Ghost Market, and entering into the vast sea of trees, they went straight towards the underground mine field of Five Style Sect. Perhaps was in hurry or perhaps she wanted to test Ye Chuan, the footsteps of Liu Hong got faster and faster. And she would frequently look back at Ye Chuan with her watery big eyes, and also with a vague smile on her face. Ye Chuan secretly enhanced his vigilance, and followed her with not fast not slow pace. Looking from the back, the curvy figure of Liu Hong was thoroughly exposed, and it looked even more provocative. She had a very thin waist which could be held by a single hand, but her buttocks was very big and also pert, and the curves on her body looked soft and alluring. And while walking down the road, her plump buttocks would sway, swaying the heart of the people with it. If there was anyone else in place of Ye Chuan, then he would have already had a red face and breathing heavily, he would have already pounced onto her long ago. Ye Chuan nevertheless was calm and composed, as once venerable Heaven Concealing Great Sage, what kind of woman he hadn¡¯t seen. Since her seduction was not working, Liu Hong was at loss, and after setting foot into a maple forest, she suddenly stopped and turned around. Then sadly looking at Ye Chuan, she faintly said, ¡°Noble son Ye, am I not beautiful?¡± ¡°You are beautiful, more beautiful than flowers.¡± Ye Chuan evilly smiled, but his mouth spat out sweeter than honey words. ¡°Since I am beautiful, why aren¡¯t you taking few more glances?¡± Liu Hong walked over, then looking at him with her watery big eyes, she asked, ¡°Furthermore, between me and Tuoba Xiaoniao, who is more beautiful?¡± ¡°You know Tuoba Xiaoniao?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised. ¡°Of course, we know each when we were a child, but afterwards, I continuously leave in Five Style Sect to cultivate with my father, and Tuoba Xiaoniao was taken away by a great expert, and travel outside for many years, returning back only recently.¡± Liu Hong approached nearer and nearer, and a faint body fragrance assaulted his nostrils. And she again asked right in front of the face of Ye Chuan, ¡°Noble son Ye, you still haven¡¯t answered, who is more beautiful between me and Tuoba Xiaoniao?¡± ¡°The looks of Tuoba Xiaoniao is not bad, unfortunately, Big Bird was feigning as a person, such wife is really hard to enjoy ah!¡± Ye Chuan answered. Liu Hong chuckled. She naturally was very clear about the matter of Tuoba Xiong wanting to humiliate Cloud Mist Sect by forming an alliance by marriage, but it was unsuccessful, instead he himself had lost his face. She looked at Ye Chuan with a smile and said, ¡°Who is your wife? Noble son Ye, be careful, the matter between you and Tuoba Xiaoniao isn¡¯t over yet. The matter of alliance by marriage was the idea of Tuoba Xiong, Tuoba Xiaoniao had just returned, she basically didn¡¯t know a thing.¡± ¡°In the wedding night, the bride came, however she again left, ai, fate really is unkind.¡± Ye Chuan pretended to think deep. Liu Hong smiled again, then sizing up Ye Chuan, her eyes shone again, ¡°Noble son Ye, you are coming with me by yourself just like this, don¡¯t tell me that, you are not afraid that this is a trap, or not afraid that you will be killed by us Five Style Sect?¡± ¡°Not afraid, if I can spend a pleasant night together with Miss Liu, then the trap is also worth it. Besides, if you kill me, aren¡¯t you afraid of Tuoba Xiaoniao killing you to avenge her husband?¡± Ye Chuan answered with a smile. ¡°Bah, who and what pleasant night together?¡± Liu Hong rolled her eyes, and turning around, she continued to hurry on with this journey. While walking, she used the corner of her eyes to secretly look at Ye Chuan. Although she seemed angry, but was really not angry, on the contrary, her eyes were limpid looking towards Ye Chuan. There was a rumor that the Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan of Cloud Mist Sect has always been slow-witted, but recently after he almost died in a remote mountain, he profited from a disaster, suddenly having his ideas straightened out. As it seems now, it really was not false. If nothing else, at least, he was much better than those hypocritical fellows. ¡°Miss Liu, you buttocks is showing.¡± Ye Chuan followed up, and opening his mouth, he caused the heart of Liu Hong who was absent-minded to shiver, and her beautiful face also reddened. This was the first time she felt shy in front of a man, and she hurriedly pulled down the hem of her skirt. ¡°Don¡¯t pull, now your buttocks is covered, but your chest is showing. Ai, never thought that the golden daughter of grand Five Style Sect is even more harshly treated by life than me, couldn¡¯t even afford clothing to completely cover her body.¡± Ye Chuan evilly smiled, and openly appreciated Liu Hong¡¯s curvy figure, while speaking. As for Liu Hong, she didn¡¯t know what to do. With the one-piece dress on her body, she had no way to pull it down and pulling it up also wasn¡¯t appropriate. ¡°Humph, underground mine field is still far away, don¡¯t get lost!¡± Liu Hong ferociously glared at Ye Chuan, then accelerated her speed, wanting to throw off Ye Chuan far behind. After running for a while, she turned her head and looked, and saw that Ye Chuan was leisurely following right behind her, and would always maintain nearly 10 meters distance between them. Moreover his gaze was very dishonestly wandering about at her thighs, buttocks and slender waist. Trifling Rank 7 Wuzhe who had yet to break through to Xiushi realm, how can his speed be so fast? Liu Hong was very surprised, then she initiated her full speed dash. She didn¡¯t believe that Ye Chuan would still be able to keep up with her. Even if his speed was pretty good, how could the endurance of Wuzhe realm compare with her who was Rank 2 Xiushi realm? Five Style Sect was good at Style Law, and Liu Hong who was going all out to run, her speed actually was comparable to the speed of ordinary person using a flying sword. Sometimes she would use Earth style, and her body would suddenly sink, disappearing on the earth under her foot, then would suddenly appear from the ground 100 meters away; Sometimes she would use Wind Style, instantly downwind would blow her to 100 meters away leaving behind several afterimages to flash past. After Liu Hong went all-out, sure enough, she quickly opened distance between herself and Ye Chuan, and leaving him far behind, she instantly disappeared. However, not giving her much time to be complacent, Ye Chuan neither slowly nor rapidly chased after her, his pace was constant. Although his speed didn¡¯t seem much fast, but she was unable to completely throw off Ye Chuan, and his endurance was far beyond Liu Hong¡¯s expectations. Ye Chuan, who cultivate Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique and condensed Heaven Swallowing Talisman, was far more powerful and had far more endurance compared to the other people in the same realm. Moreover after reincarnation, when he had to restart his cultivation, he did things steadily and surely, he cultivated every realm to its ultimate attainment. In the cultivation route, he chose quality, not the cultivation speed. Again and again, Liu Hong repeatedly tried to shake off Ye Chuan with every means possible but was unsuccessful. After that Liu Hong finally lost heart and honestly led the way. After few hours, two people crossed over mountain after mountain and arrived at a barren land. Looking around, within the surrounding of 10 li in radius, there were only strange rocks, and there was not even a blade of grass grown. Moreover in the sky, there was a violent chaotic energy fluctuation. In the distance, some people frequently came in and out, dispatching a cartful of ores from the entrance of the underground mine. After these ores were refined and processed, they would become crystal stones that were necessary for the cultivator. The entire mine field had at least over hundred underpasses. There were more than ten thousand forced labors just on the ground, and groups of heavily armed guards moved back and forth who had the authority to kill any forced labors that tried to flee. In the middle of the mine field, there was a tall watchtower. And the body of this watchtower was carved with runes, clearly a powerful formation was overlaid on it. And from far away, dense somber and desolate aura was coming. ¡°This is our Five Style Sect¡¯s largest underground mine field, Bluestone Field. How is it, isn¡¯t it sufficiently big?¡± Looking at Ye Chuan, Liu Hong proudly said. Among three great sects of Cloud Mist mountain range, Five Style Sect didn¡¯t make pills, and also didn¡¯t have the skill to refine weapons like Black Cauldron Sect, but it held the most mines including the largest mine. Five Style Sect¡¯s disciples were exclusive assassins, and they had always been the nightmare of two other sect¡¯s elite disciples. Furthermore they were even more like a stranded fish put back into water in wild. ¡°Not bad, it¡¯s passable.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, and just when he was about to take a step forward, he suddenly felt a reaction from Cyan Lotus Lamp within his body. Is there a treasure underground? Ye Chuan was surprised, then walked back and forth on the ground. Chapter 50: Feng Ren Chapter 50: Feng Ren Cyan Lotus Lamp he had obtained in God Burial Valley not only had the world inside it, where he could put piggy, Golden Cicada King and other yao beasts, moreover it could also sense the location of treasures. The more powerful the treasure, the bigger the movement of Cyan Lotus Lamp. This throbbing of Cyan Lotus Lamp suddenly spirited Ye Chuan. The treasure that was able to make Cyan Lotus Lamp throb, all were definitely a kind of extraordinary treasure. He had still yet to step into the mine field of Five Style Sect, but there was already a good thing under his foot. Ye Chuan repeatedly walked back and forth, roughly determining the direction of the treasure. Merely, the misgiving was this was the territory of Five Style Sect, so he couldn¡¯t let out his spirit to carefully sense what it was. Indistinctly, he felt that the treasure was buried very deep, at least was 100 meters underground. ¡°Noble son Ye, what happened?¡± Liu Hong confusedly looked at Ye Chuan. The latter¡¯s unusual action made her feel puzzled. Ye Chuan raised his head, and said with an evil smile, ¡°Nothing, too tired and my feet are a bit cramped.¡± Chi! Liu Hong snorted disdainfully, she wouldn¡¯t believe in the nonsense of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan had a cramp? He could still run for three days and three nights without any problem. Although his speed was not fast, it was also not slow too, but his body was stronger than that of bison. She wondered how he cultivated. ¡°Who¡¯s there? Who dare to crudely rush to my Five Style Sect¡¯s forbidden ground?¡± From tall watchtower, suddenly a loud shouting sound came. And a figure of a person jumped down from the 100 meters tall tower. And just when the head of this figure was about to collide with the ground, his body suddenly became wind-borne and floated up, and in a flash appeared before two people. The Wind Style of Five Style Sect was perfectly shown here. A bamboo pole like thin grey-clothed old man seemingly bore out of thin air, coldly staring at Ye Chuan. With his glance, Ye Chuan felt as if a viper was staring at him. He was not unfamiliar with this kind of feeling. In the sect, Third Elder gave him this kind of feeling. Merely, Third Elder tried to cover up, but this grey-clothed person wasn¡¯t hiding it at all. ¡°Elder Feng, it¡¯s me.¡± Liu Hong stepped forward, and with her head high chest out, her boobies seemed to almost jump out of her clothing. Grey-clothed old man greedily take a look at Liu Hong¡¯s firm and upright boobies, and a trace of heat flashed past in his eyes, then pretending to just see Liu Hong, he slightly bowed and greeted, ¡°It¡¯s actually Miss, Feng Ren have committed a crime. Who is this young man, he looks very unfamiliar, which sect¡¯s spy is he? Guards, come here and throw him into the jail.¡± ¡°Yes sir!¡± A group of fully armed guards uniformly pulled out their sword and surrounded Ye Chuan, and as if wolf and tiger, they looked at him ferociously. Bluestone Field was the largest mine of Five Style Sect, which yields highest grade crystal stones, so it has always been forbidden area of Five Style Sect which strictly forbids outsiders, and they would kill all trespasser on the spot. This place was not only underground mine which was coveted by everyone, but was also a heavily guarded prison, so killing several people was a commonplace here. ¡°Stop, Elder Feng, he is Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan.¡± Liu Hong hastily explained. Among the numerous elders of Five Style Sect, Feng Ren was most vicious, he would kill people without batting an eyelid. Once, there was a group of outer sect disciples who didn¡¯t understand the rules, and after they came to Bluestone Filed to work, they were not sufficiently fast, result, he killed all of them on the spot. Over hundred disciples ah, he killed all of them without even batting an eyelid, he was as terrifying as great devils wandering in the Wilderness World. Liu Hong had always done whatever she liked inside the sect, but even she was somewhat afraid of Feng Ren. ¡°What? Person of Cloud Mist Sect, moreover Big Senior Apprentice-Brother? Then we even more cannot let him stay, kill him without pardon!¡± Feng Ren shouted ferociously. And after ordering to kill, he became just like a butcher¡¯s sharp knife with dense killing intent. After that he slashed his right hand in the void, slashing out a swift and fierce wind blade towards Ye Chuan. That wind blade passed right beside the tip of Ye Chuan¡¯s nose and landed on the ground, leaving behind a deep mark. If Ye Chuan was even a bit slower to dodge, then his head would have been cut off. What an old dog, really was about to kill a person! The eyes of Ye Chuan flashed with a trace of pallid light and murderous intent flourished greatly. He began to circulate Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, and also prepared to release piggy and Golden Cicada King from Cyan Lotus Lamp. The space between the eyebrows of Feng Ren who was emitting dense killing intent jumped, and a danger feeling appeared in his heart. Then looking at the fierce and swift gaze of Ye Chuan, his killing intent got even denser. A trifling Wuzhe realm cultivator made him feel danger, this was an unprecedented thing to Feng Ren. And the thoughts of killing Ye Chuan suddenly got even stronger! This person can¡¯t leave! Absolutely cannot leave! The killing intent of Feng Ren greatly flourished. And a hurricane began to circle around him, indistinctly changing into thousands of wind blades. ¡°Stop, stay your hand! Elder Feng, we came here to find a person, after asking several things, we¡¯ll go away.¡± Liu Hong stood in front of Ye Chuan, and with her face covered with a layer of frost, she said, ¡°Elder Feng, I know this is the territory under your control, but randomly killing people as you please, isn¡¯t that violating the law of our sect? Do you still have my father in your eyes? Or, are you going to kill me as well? ¡°Humph, Feng Ren doesn¡¯t dare, you can do as you please Miss. But, Bluestone Filed is strictly forbidden to any outsiders. If you want to find a person, Miss herself needs to go in and look for him, this Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciple should wait outside.¡± Feng Ren slightly bowed, and after snorting coldly, he turned around and left angrily. And in a flash, he reached the top of the tower and then coldly stared at Ye Chuan from the distance. And numerous guards who had unsheathed their swords also turn around and left, but they didn¡¯t go far away, and each and every one of them glared Ye Chuan just like a tiger eyeing its prey. Even knowing that Ye Chuan was brought here by eldest Miss Liu Hong, they didn¡¯t have any good complexion. ¡°Noble son Ye, please wait here for a moment, don¡¯t walk around wildly.¡± Liu Hong urged again and again, then using Wind Style, she rapidly left, entering inside the underground ore mine to look for a person. Behind, Ye Chuan stood outside the mine field, silently waiting. But the ice cold eyes of Feng Ren was unexpectedly staring at him continuously. This old man is really tired of living! Ye Chuan pretended not know that Feng Ren was continuously staring at him. Although his complexion was calm, his heart however already had dense killing intent. But he still silently sized up the environment around. The techniques of Five Style Sect were distinctive, and always had been terrifying first-class assassins, but as a once venerate Heaven Concealing Great Sage, this small technique of Five Style Sect was nothing as far as Ye Chuan was concerned. If one really wants to talk about assassin skills, then he himself was even better than all of Five Style Sect. if it wasn¡¯t for his current body with limited cultivation, then it was an easy thing to kill this Feng Ren on the tower. Liu Hong quickly returned after a short amount of time, bringing back an information. ¡°Noble son Ye, I am sorry, disciple Wu Feng said that he had already sold all the seeds he had to Exploiter Hu at a low price.¡± ¡°Not even a single seed is left?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat disappointed. Great Competition was right around the corner. And he had originally thought to restore his vitality with Qingyang fruit, or even increase his cultivation realm, but now it seems to be hopeless. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. ¡°No, not even a single seed is left.¡± Liu Hong shook her head, and pausing for a while, she said, ¡°But, Wu Feng said that he accidentally found these seeds in the vicinity of Shallow Water Bay of the mountain behind. Perhaps, you can go there to try your luck.¡± ¡°Swallow Water Bay?¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes shone, ¡°Good, when I have time, I will go there, thank you, Miss.¡± ¡°Hereafter, call me Honghong. I am exhausted to death to ask this information, now say, how will you repay me?¡± Looking at Ye Chuan with a smile, Liu Hong¡¯s big eyes had happiness circulating on them. Two different sect¡¯s disciples were as incompatible as fire and water, but here she was doing everything to please Ye Chuan, don¡¯t know what she was thinking. ¡°Here, in the place, I am standing, there is a treasure underground. Don¡¯t miss it, quickly start the work to obtain it.¡± Ye Chuan replied, and just after he finished speaking, he turned around and left, disappearing in the mountains. After thinking for a bit, he decided to tell his discovery to Liu Hong. This place was heavily guarded ground of Five Style Sect, and with a mad dog, Feng Ren guarding this territory, wanting to dig out that underground treasure was too difficult. And on the other hand, telling about it to Liu Hong, he would also be able to repay Liu Hong. ¡°Boy, how can you run away so fast, still running away from the control of this Miss? Sooner or later, see how you will be submissive¡­¡­¡± Looking at the direction where Ye Chuan had disappeared, Liu Hong had a smile on her face as if the overall situation was under her control. Then, she stared at the place where Ye Chuan was standing just a moment ago. Even after looking for a while, she didn¡¯t see any difference, even her spirit sense also didn¡¯t find anything unusual. If there really was a treasure underground, then wouldn¡¯t that old man Feng Ren have already dug it out? Liu Hong frowned, still although she didn¡¯t have too much trust, but she still broke the message talisman to pass on the message to the sect, asking her father to send a group of trusted aide over here. Chapter 51: Swallow Water Bay Chapter 51: Swallow Water Bay After leaving Five Style Sect¡¯s forbidden ground Bluestone Field, and seeing the sky was still bright, Ye Chuan went towards the west, deep into the vast mountain. Without returning to the sect, he directly went to Swallow Water Bay mentioned by Liu Hong, preparing to try his luck to see whether he could find Qingyang fruit¡¯s seeds or not. Great Competition was right around the corner, and although Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t afraid of any challenges and storms, but, he should still take every detail seriously. This was the habit of Ye Chuan, and also was the key point which made him able to defeat countless Sage realm formidable opponents to distinguish himself as Heaven Concealing Great Sage millions of years ago. And in this life, since he was starting from the beginning, his body was still very weak, so he naturally was more careful and prudent. When the sun set behind the western hills, Ye Chuan was dashing off as if madly running cheetah in the lofty ridges and towering mountains. A fine and continuous pure worldly spiritual qi was falling down from the sky, seeping into the body of Ye Chuan, nourishing his physique and blood vessels. Heaven Swallowing Talisman was rapidly rotating while emitting a burst of boundless energy fluctuation. This energy prompted Ye Chuan to accelerate. His muscles swelled, his blood seethed with excitement, and body as if torch burned with his speed becoming faster and faster! When he was chasing after Liu Hong, the speed and endurance of Ye Chuan were already amazing enough, making Liu Hong greatly surprised. But in fact, that was not the limit of Ye Chuan, he had intentionally suppressed himself a bit in secret. Now, running in an unmanned sea of forest, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have any scruple, and he thoroughly showed the power of Heaven Swallowing Talisman. As if he was using flying sword, he dashed through the lofty ridges and towering mountains like a hurricane. All along the road, yao beasts were running wild. And Ye Chuan beheaded many Cloud Leopard, Gerbil, Black Crow and so on low-level yao beasts, while running straight forward. And after crossing the pine forest, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped his steps. In front of him, there was a small hill like mound. It was covered with bushes and stones. Originally, this was merely an unassuming small place in this vast mountain range, but Ye Chuan felt danger in this place. Perhaps it was his misconception, but this ground suddenly shook, as if the forewarning of the earthquake. Immediately after, a long crack appeared on this mound, and the stones tumbled down from the top of this mound in succession. The entire mound rose, rapidly changing into a mountain from a small mound. The bushes and stones were in the state of chaos, thoroughly changing beyond recognition. Roar! From the depth of the ground, a muffled roaring sound came. This sound was as if the muffled roar of tiger and dragon, but was powerful, which came out after piercing through a thick layer of soil. After that roaring sound reverberated, the yao beasts within the area of several 10 li of radius, all fled in panic. Ye Chuan who had run wildly in the mountain finally encountered a big fellow! Although yao beasts in the vicinity were running away wildly, Ye Chuan however stood still. Not because he was careless, rather because he was already locked onto by a powerful aura, so even if he wanted to run away, he was not able to. Roar! The roaring sound got louder and louder, and not long after, the mound full of vitality suddenly blew open, revealing a huge head, then its body section. The eyes alone were as big as a lantern, and its big head had a pair of short robust ox horn. Its body sections had a layer of black colored scales and shells, which when colliding with stones issued a metal colliding sound. They seemed incomparably hard. Moreover, its each body section had a pair of legs. It seems strange, ferocious and frightening. It moved like a snake and also wriggled like a huge worm, gradually climbing out from deep inside the ground. ¡°Thousand Legged Monster?¡± Ye Chuan promptly recalled an ancient yao beast. Millions of years ago, when he was able to conceal heaven with his hand, he had once encountered this kind of giant yao beast in 72 Fierce Hall. At that time, he fought a bitter battle, and even he himself also nearly spill the blood then and there. The longer the life of yao beast, the stronger its strength. And compared to that super yao beast of that time, this Thousand Legged Monster in front of him was clearly a lot smaller and roughly had only a 1000 years life. But even like that, its combat power was far above ordinary yao beasts. Once it completely climbed out from inside the ground, then even a Xiushi realm cultivators would be swallowed down in one breathe. Ye Chuan suddenly moved, swiftly leaping towards Thousand Feet Monster. And with a flash, he took out nine extremely thin blades glimmering with pallid light between his fingers. Although the body of Thousand Legged Monster was huge, but with its thousand legs, its running speed was alarming. Confronting such yao beast, hiding was not the best method. Ye Chuan¡¯s speed was very fast, in the blink of an eye, he reached in front of this Thousand Legged Monster. Then he didn¡¯t meet it head on rather outflanked it, arriving at the back of the head of this Thousand Legged Monster. After that just like a slick loach, he stuck on the body of this Thousand Legged Beast. Immediately after that, it swayed its body. Thousand Legged Monster had extraordinary strength, its running speed was also alarming, and its scales and shells on the body were also invulnerable. So encountering this kind of yao beast was an absolute nightmare for all the cultivators. But, this really doesn¡¯t mean this yao beast was completely invulnerable. The body of this yao beast was too huge and too long, and for a period of time when it was climbing out from underground, its strength and speed would be greatly affected, precisely would be at its weakest state at that time. Ye Chuan was experienced and he knew how to deal with this terrifying big fellow. Roar¡­¡­ Thousand Legged Monster roared loudly feeling the danger. It violently shook and rolled about its body, trying to shake off Ye Chuan who was on its back. But, no matter how it swayed, Ye Chuan was stuck on its back just like a nail, making the sharp claws of Thousand Legged Monster lose its effect. ¡°Little fellow, you came out too early. If you had come out after another 1000 years, then even a Daoist Master realm expert would not have necessarily become your opponent, but it¡¯s a pity¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan coldly smiled, then making sure of opportune moment, his body suddenly slide up on the back of Thousand Legged Monster. Under the setting sun, blade light suddenly flashed with a great elegance. After that, the gigantic Thousand Legged Monster suddenly issued a blood-curdling scream. In the space between its head and neck, now it was dripping with blood in the link of two scales. The fragile cartilage under the scale was cut off at one stroke. The black colored scales of Thousand Legged Monster was incomparably hard, even if a heavy hammer pound it, they wouldn¡¯t break, and even a sharp sword also couldn¡¯t stab through it, moreover it could block all kind of attacks of people. But, the link of two segment¡¯s scale nevertheless was its fatal weak point. This link was very thin, it was as thin as the paper. Ordinary people didn¡¯t know this weak point, so they will never approach it, let alone attack. Ye Chuan however was different, he was prepared in advance. All under the heaven, perhaps no one knows better than him about the strength and weakness of Thousand Legged Monster. This Thousand Legged Monster that was recuperating underground for 1000 years, if had met Xiushi realm expert, then it would have been able to call the wind and summon the rain, but meeting Ye Chuan, it however was its karma. Fierce and swift dazzling gleam frequently streak across in the sky. Ye Chuan would not raise his hand easily, but once he raised his hand, his attack would be more and more intense as if raging waves beating against the shore. His left and right fingers were clamping extremely thin eight blades, and a final one inside his mouth. Nine extremely thin blades and Inch Light technique just happens to be the bane of this huge monster, Thousand Legged Monster. When two strong were confronting, cultivation and absolute strength were very important, but techniques having mutually inhibiting or checking effect was even more critical. If Xiushi realm expert had suddenly encountered this Thousand Legged Monster, then perhaps he would have gotten buried in the wilds. But Ye Chuan whose cultivation level was only Rank 7 Wuzhe contrarily made Thousand Legged Monster powerless to resist. Chapter 52: Lady White Chapter 52: Lady White Under the swift and fierce attack of Ye Chuan, Thousand Legged Monster quickly suffered serious damage. At this time, only half of the huge body of Thousand Legged Monster was shown, and the other half was still under the ground. Continuing to crawl out of the ground in hope of resolutely counterattacking and crushing Ye Chuan, or, hastily returning back underground so as to avoid the attacks of Ye Chuan dodging this calamity, wounded Thousand Legged Monster faced with these two choices. Roar! Ear deafening roaring sound reverberated across the heavens, and the mound¡¯s sands flew about and stones hurtled through the air, causing the leaves of the nearby trees to fall down in succession. With the violent disposition of Thousand Legged Monster, it made the first choice. After sustaining injuries, it got insane, and rise up vigorously to counterattack. Blocking the attack of Ye Chuan was its first mistake, and after sustaining the injury, without escaping, insanely counter-attacking was its second mistake. With two fatal mistakes, the tragedy was inevitable. Ye Chuan uttered a long cry holding his head high, and circulating Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, he thoroughly displayed the power of nine blades and Inch Light technique which was left behind by Ghost Hand Medicinal King, the founder of Cloud Mist Sect. The insane Thousand Legged Monster was just to his liking! Pallid light flashed and blade qi swept over. Ye Chuan was expressionless, leaving behind fatal cuts on the body of Thousand Legged Monster. Every blade, as if performing an operation, accurately landed on the space between the two segment¡¯s scales of Thousand Legged Monster. And with only one inch of blade entering the huge body of Thousand Legged Monster, it was unable to take the life of this Thousand Legged Monster. Thousand Legged Monster roared repeatedly, but wasn¡¯t able to counterattack. It only went all out to quickly bore out from inside the ground. Unfortunately, although it was fast, Ye Chuan was even faster, and his blades were fatal. Not long after, gigantic Thousand Legged Monster¡¯s energy was exhausted due to the excessive loss of blood, and its speed gradually slowed down. Finally, its more than 100 meters long body completely came out of the ground, but it however was powerless to struggle. It already had many wounds in its body, Ye Chuan practically put it to death by thousand cuts. After confirming Thousand Legged Monster was dead, Ye Chuan finally relaxed, and after a little rest, he began to get busy. He cut open the head of Thousand Legged Monster, and took out a piece of pale cyan colored crystal stone shaped thing. It was thumb sized, and was completely pale cyan colored as if a piece of natural gem. It was mild and moist, and he could feel a burst of pure energy fluctuation. This is a crystal core, a piece of best quality crystal core. Thousand Legged Monster devoured other yao beasts to live. And with Yang Qi surging, the crystal core within its body was its energy source, which happens to be the thing which Ye Chuan urgently needed. ¡°Unfortunately, this crystal core is still a little small, forget it, I will make do with it.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and after putting away this crystal core, he cleared the corpse of Thousand Legged Monster and swaggered off. Helping Flame Devil treat his wound, he had lost a large amount of his vitality. So he urgently needed to compensate for his losses, strengthening his spirit. He had originally pinned his hopes in Qingyang fruit seeds, but to his surprise, he didn¡¯t find Qingyang fruit but got a crystal core of Thousand Legged Monster. This was an unexpected happy event. In the wilderness, the smell of blood easily attracts terrifying yao beast. Knowing this, Ye Chuan quickly went far away from this changed beyond recognition mound, continuing to soar through lofty ridges and towering mountains. Sure enough, just after he had walked away, roaring sounds of yao beasts came from the direction of the mound. He wondered how many starving yao beasts were eyeing the corpse of Thousand Legged Monster. When it was early evening, Ye Chuan finally reached his destination. Originate from the icy mountain, Cloud Mist river flowed down from the plateau. And hitting head on against the base, it continues to flow through 10000 li mountain range with 9 turns 18 curves, leaving a boundless clear spring. Looking down from the starry sky, this boundless clear spring was as if a sapphire inlaid in the boundless earth. This place was the beautiful Shallow Water Bay of Cloud Mist Mountain range. According to legend, in ancient times, even female celestials were touched by this beautiful place, so they often descend to this place to groom their elegant long hairs. Under an accident arising from many causes, a passing by hunter and female celestial fell in love with each other, leaving behind a section of the sad and beautiful tale. Ever since the ancient times, there have been many passionate men and women coming here to seek the trace of ancient time¡¯s celestial being, listening to the tales that had passed on from generation to generation among the people. With the aid of moonlight in the sky, Ye Chuan walked about all around, looking for Qingyang fruit seed. He had been continuously paying attention to Cyan Lotus Lamp within his body, hoping to have its aid to find the treasure. Unfortunately, there was no movement of Cyan Lotus Lamp. He suddenly heard the indistinct sound of gurgling water. Someone? Or is it a formidable savage wilderness mutated yao beast? Ye Chuan stopped his steps, somewhat hesitated and cautiously followed the sound of the water. After walking several 100 meters, a spring scenery slowly unfolded before his eyes. Under the moonlight, a girl in the prime of her youth was walking towards this clear little lake. While walking she slowly removed her clothing. First, she undid her exquisite belt, baggy gown and then her exquisite underwear. Very quickly, a fair and exquisite jade body was displayed to the world. With white skin, soft and graceful build, merely a back view could cause people to skip their heartbeat. After taking off her clothing, she soaked herself in this clear lake water and played to her heart content. She stretched out her slender limbs, then, leisurely groomed her long hair. While grooming, she sang an unknown song. Her voice was suave, and seemed to have a trace of hidden bitterness, as if a passionate woman was in the process of pouring out everything towards her sweetheart. That scene and that voice, made Ye Chuan who was listening to be somewhat absent-minded involuntarily. Many years ago, there was once a woman who accompanied beside him who poured out all her happiness and also recount her grief to him, merely afterward¡­¡­ Ye Chuan¡¯s heart ached, recalling a segment of memory covered in dust, and accidentally stepped on the dried branch. A crisp snapping sound resounded, which spread very far away in the night sky. ¡°Who?¡± The woman who was grooming herself in the water suddenly turned around, her face tense and restless. Oval face, big eyes and pointed chin, she was none other than Tuoba Xiaoniao whom he had seen in Purple Cloud Peak. A wisp of fierce killing intent rapidly locked onto the bush where Ye Chuan was located. After a short panic, Tuoba Xiaoniao quickly wore her baggy gown, and her big eyes firmly stared at the place where Ye Chuan was hiding. Not far away, suddenly flame torch lit up, which was accompanied by heavy hurried footsteps. It seems a group of guards was rushing over. ¡°It¡¯s me, Ye Chuan.¡± Seeing his whereabouts was exposed, Ye Chuan simply walked over calm and composed. Then looking at Tuoba Xiaoniao who had just come out from water, he evilly smiled and said, ¡°My wife, it¡¯s me. People say, the short partings make the reunion even sweeter than a honeymoon, but how come, after not seeing for just several days, you don¡¯t even recognize your husband?¡± ¡°Are you?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao was very surprised, she had never thought that the one hiding and peeping on her was unexpectedly Ye Chuan. And recalling the absurd matter of not long before, her face turned red, soon after that was covered with a layer of coldness, ¡°Boy, speak, what did you see?¡± ¡°I saw everything that should be seen and also shouldn¡¯t be seen.¡± Ye Chuan honestly confessed, then with honest and sincere gentleman appearance, he said, ¡°Wife, I truly have never thought that your skin was unexpectedly so white! Tsk tsk, who said I, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother has a cruel fate? I am born under a very lucky star to be able to marry such a Lady White.¡± ¡°Surnamed Ye, you¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao gnashed her teeth, being called Lady White by Ye Chuan, she was so angry that indistinct glistening teardrops appeared in her big eyes. From childhood till now, no man had ever touched even her little hand except her father and she had always tightly covered her body. But who would have thought that, tonight, her everywhere was unexpectedly seen by Ye Chuan! Granted that he had seen her, but Ye Chuan unexpectedly still openly spoke out, readily calling her wife, it seems, he not only wanted to simply look, what does he want to do? ¡°Junior apprentice-sister, let senior apprentice-brother kill him!¡± A gloomy and cold voice suddenly came through the dark. And before the voice could fade, sword light suddenly streak across the sky, straightly flying towards the space between the eyebrows of Ye Chuan. A short and small very thin black robed youth rushed out from the dark with full of killing intent. This person seemed short, small and very thin, and was not eye-catching at all, but his sword stab unexpectedly caused rumbling thunder sound in the air. The right cuff of his robe was embroidered with a bronze cauldron, and the energy fluctuation within his body was vigorous. He was a Xiushi realm expert! Black Cauldron Sect, Thunderbolt Sword! This black robbed person had used the fatal move of Black Cauldron Sect. He was showing no quarters, seeing Ye Chuan, he was itching to tear the body of Ye Chuan to thousands of pieces! ¡°Good sword-play, who are you?¡± Ye Chuan swayed in succession, dodging this heavy sword. Now a trace of solemnness appeared on his face. ¡°Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Hong Lie!¡± Black robed person loudly shouted, and his voice was rather sharp and ear-piercing. After that swinging his sword, he ruthlessly stabbed towards Ye Chuan once again, he attacks got more and more intense as if tide. ¡°Brat, originally, this noble son intended to let you live for two more days, and kill you in Great Competition. But now, since you are courting death, then I will send you on your way!¡± The rumbling thunderbolt sound suddenly got dense. In an instant, black robed person, Hong Lie stabbed 17 times. And all of these stabs were targeting the vital points of Ye Chuan. As the sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, his cultivation was far higher compared to Ye Chuan. Among the entire younger generation of three large sects, perhaps only the Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Five Style Sect Gushan Leng could be placed on par with him! Chapter 53: Old Monster Tong Bi Chapter 53: Old Monster Tong Bi The body of Ye Chuan suddenly softened and swayed as if boneless willow catkins. Then those swift and fierce sword qi directly hit him in the face, but sharp sword brushed past him. After dodging those 17 sword strikes, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped. A long hair, slowly floated down from the sky, and muffled thunderbolt sound still resounded in the sky. Everyone simultaneously had their eyes wide open and their heart was shaken. Hong Lei and Ye Chuan, one attacked brilliantly, this attack was as quick as lightning with great might, and another had excellent body movement, dodging so well that others couldn¡¯t help but cheer, although it was breathtaking but was simply standing tall! ¡°Good, good skill, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Cloud Mist Sect is indeed somewhat skilled.¡± Hong Lie stepped forward with ice-cold complexion, and with his killing intent getting denser, he coldly said, ¡°But, having sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother only at Wuzhe realm, and not even broken through to Xiushi realm, this is the disgrace of the sect. Brat, today you are dead!¡± The eyes of Hong Lie flashed with pallid light, and he was about to move his hand¡¯s heavy sword once again. ¡°Slow down!¡± Ye Chuan said, then looking at Hong Lie, he indifferently said: ¡°Today, do you seriously want to have life and death battle?¡± ¡°No, today you will die and I will live.¡± Hong Lie walked one step forward, and with ferocious complexion, he made preparation for his strongest attack. Although he looked thin, small and ugly, but this moment, the aura he displayed was a true quality of expert, which no one dared to underestimate. ¡°Do we have the enmity of killing father?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°No!¡± ¡°Do we have the conflict of interest?¡± Ye Chuan again asked. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Good, I understand.¡± Ye Chuan looked at overbearing and gnashing his teeth Hong Lie, then again looked at gentle and soft as if water, endearing little bird Tuoba Xiaoniao, understanding everything clearly. Cloud Mist Sect and Black Cauldron Sect, although were incompatible as fire and water, but their disciples also wouldn¡¯t go as far as to have life and death battle the moment they meet. Hong Lie was so aggressive, not because he had personal enmity or conflict of interest, but the reason was naturally obvious. Clearly, this fellow had taken a fancy on this Tuoba Xiaoniao who had returned back after the travels of many years, and hearing him addressing Tuoba Xiaoniao as a wife, he was burning with anger. ¡°Use your Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s most powerful technique! Today, I will let you die convinced!¡± Although Hong Lie was filled with killing intent, but he didn¡¯t attack immediately, he intentionally wanted to humiliate Ye Chuan before killing him to show his elegant demeanor in front of a beauty. His build and appearance were the shortcomings of Hong Lie, even he himself was also well aware of this point, also, for this reason, he felt somewhat inferior and didn¡¯t dare to open his mouth to express his love towards as pretty as flower Tuoba Xiaoniao. Today, the arrival of Ye Chuan aroused his resentment, and before he even saw Ye Chuan, he was already filled with anger. But for him, this was also a good opportunity. Killing Ye Chuan, not only could he appease the resentment of Tuoba Xiaoniao, but he could also show his strong points and hide his weakness, showing his elegant demeanor in front of her. ¡°Well, look at my palm.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, then slapped in the void, but his body suddenly as if ghosts fell back, and laughed heartily, ¡°Want to fight to the death with me, first catch me, then we will talk! See you later, my Lady White, hahaha!¡± Ye Chuan roared with laughter then quickly left. ¡°Don¡¯t run, brat, if you are capable then don¡¯t run!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao stomped her foot, then chased after him while feeling angry and also ashamed. Ye Chuan running away in just this fashion was also not too deficit. He saw everything from head to toe, then thought to sneak off, where was such cheap advantage? Ye Chuan took a deep breath, then suddenly accelerated. After that he turned his head and seeing Tuoba Xiaoniao was chasing after him, he evilly smiled and said, ¡°Why? My wife, are you too reluctant to part with Your Excellency the husband, and also urgently wants to have a bridal chamber with Your Excellency the husband?¡± ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao flustered, with Ye Chuan calling her wife in public, she was so ashamed that she wanted to look for a hole to crawl into it, and she nearly stopped her footsteps because of this. At that time, ear-piercing sound suddenly resounded. Hong Lie didn¡¯t utter a word, but his face was twisted, he was so angry towards Ye Chuan that he was spouting smoke through his seven orifices. The Thunderbolt sword in his hand was so fast that its rumbling thunderbolt sound disappeared and was replaced by ear piercing sonic boom. Two legs exerted strength on the ground, then rushing straight behind Ye Chuan, he angrily wanted to cut Ye Chuan into two half from the waist. Come on! Now! Ye Chuan who was running for the life suddenly turned around and indifferently faced murderous-looking Hong Lie. And in the instant when latter¡¯s Thunderbolt Sword was about to chop him, he bent his finger and flicked. The air suddenly undulated, rising the circles of ripples. In the middle of this layer upon layer of ripples, a huge finger appeared out of thin air, advancing towards the sword in the hand of Hong Lie. Illusory Magic Finger! Ye Chuan suddenly launched an attack, and circulating Heaven Swallowing Talisman, he struck out a fatal move. Running away was just a bait, and calling Lady White was also him intentionally enraging Hong Lie. And when he was careless, he suddenly launched a counterattack. ¡°Careful!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao and Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s guards simultaneously cried out in alarm. Ye Chuan¡¯s this move not only came all of a sudden, but also was great in strength and was terrifying. A Wuzhe realm disciple, how could he display this kind of technique? People were shocked and confused, even after thinking until they break their head, they didn¡¯t understand this. ¡°Hahaha, mantis stopping the carriage, just a pipe dream.¡± People cried out in alarm, but Hong Lie was heroic, not only didn¡¯t he dodge, instead he accelerated and meet this attack head-on with his full power sword chop. ¡®Ding¡¯ sound resounded, the Thunderbolt Sword in his hand trembled, nearly flying out of his hand, and Ye Chuan was greatly shocked as if he got an electric shock, and with his face becoming ghastly pale, that finger in the sky also disappeared without a trace. The might of Illusory Magic Finger was alarming, unfortunately, the current realm of Ye Chuan was still too low. Drawing the support of Heaven Swallowing Talisman, he was barely able to use it with great effort, and could only frighten the people, but if he truly wanted to inflict heavy injury to Hong Lie and this kind of expert, then it obviously was insufficient. However Ye Chuan had already expected this result in advance, Illusory Magic Finger was also not a killing move, the real killing move was still yet to come. After smoothly blocking the attack of Ye Chuan, Hong Lie roared with laughter, then holding his sword, he rushed towards Ye Chuan once again. And just when he was about to ruthlessly cut Ye Chuan, a cold wind suddenly came through his neck, and he immediately had a strong sense of danger. Turning his head and turning around his body, he quickly retreated back. He did all these without stopping. And after withdrawing three meters, he vaguely saw a golden light flashing in the sky, and entering the body of Ye Chuan. It was not a flying sword but was better than flying sword. In the plan of Ye Chuan, Golden Cicada King was the real killing move. Although Hong Lie was a Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Black Cauldron Sect, but under carelessness, Hong Lie nearly fell into the trap, suffering the defeat! ¡°Wife, don¡¯t yell attack or kill like this when we meet each other again. A wife shouldn¡¯t instruct husband, next time, if you are not obedient, then I will spank your buttocks.¡± Ye Chuan secretly thought it was a pity. The complexion of Hong Lie was ghastly pale, and the energy fluctuation within his body was steadily rising, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even take a single glance at him, merely looking at Tuoba Xiaoniao for a while with a smile, he swaggered off. Behind, Hong Lie had the heart to chase, unfortunately, he missed the good opportunity, and only looked at the distant back view of Ye Chuan helplessly. Circulating Heaven Swallowing Talisman, he dashed off full speed. The speed of Ye Chuan was so fast that many Xiushi realm experts could only see his dust and have no hope of catching up! However, just when Ye Chuan thought that he could leave safely, suddenly he had a feeling and stopped his steps, then alertly looked in front of him. ¡°Hahaha, not bad, kid, you are sufficiently vigilant, and really have some skills, not really a total failure. But, after humiliating our Black Cauldron Sect, you want to leave just like this, do you think it¡¯s possible?¡± A hoarse voice came through the dark, and an old man with a grizzled beard walked out from the dark. His figure was very short, he seemed similar to a child in height, but his arms were very long, while standing, his arms almost touch the ground, and he was carrying over ten thousand jin heavy bronze cauldron on his shoulder. With his every step, the ground would shake and his steps would leave behind a deep footprint. ¡°Xiaoniao greets Elder Tong Bi!¡± ¡°We pay respect to Protector Elder!¡± Seeing this strange old man who had walked out of the dark, the people of Black Cauldron Sect simultaneously bowed to make their salutations. A heavy pressure suddenly spread all over the air, pressuring Ye Chuan. After a crackling sound, the spine of Ye Chuan was forced to bend. Just after he had dodged sinister and dangerous situation of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Black Cauldron Sect Hong Lie¡¯s hunt, Ye Chuan met even more formidable opponent. Now this person known as Old Monster Tong Bi who was the Protector Elder of Black Cauldron Sect suddenly blocked his path! Chapter 54: Wife, don’t worry Chapter 54: Wife, don¡¯t worry In a sect, other than old ancestors who are in seclusion all year around, often, the cultivation of Sect Master is strongest. And just like Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Sect Master Yun Feiwu, although he had gone out to travel and hadn¡¯t returned for many years, moreover it was not clear if he was dead or alive, but the sect¡¯s influence still exists. But Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Old Monster Tong Bi was the exception, allegedly his cultivation was above current Sect Master Tuoba Xiong. Even temperamental Tuoba Xiong who considered himself the best in the world often concede to him to some degree. Seeing the figure of Old Monster Tong Bi, the eyes of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s personnel simultaneously lit up. With Protector Elder personally here, where can Ye Chuan run to now? Tuoba Xiaoniao didn¡¯t express anything, but Hong Lie roared with laughter. Just now, he had practically suffered a defeat and nearly died in the hands of Ye Chuan, moreover he had greatly lost his face in the public, so now, he wanted to see how Ye Chuan would die! ¡°Who are you?¡± Seeing Old Monster Tong Bi blocking his way, Ye Chuan asked calm and composed, as if he was entirely unaware of dangerous situation he was in. And again after a series of crackling sound, he circulated Heaven Swallowing Talisman and straightened his body, indifferently facing the pressure of this old man squarely. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Old Monster Tong Bi was somewhat surprised, then looking Ye Chuan up and down several times, as if a cat that had caught a mouse, he laughed, ¡°Elder Tong Bi, this one is Great Protector Elder of Black Cauldron Sect, you can call me Your Excellency Elder, or you can also call me Old Monster Tong Bi, gagaga, I think you have heard about my reputation, when I am in good mood, I kill people for fun, and when I am in bad mood, I also kill people. Boy, are you scared? Gagaga¡­¡­¡± Old Monster Tong Bi laughed strangely, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid. But hearing these words, the personnel of Black Cauldron Sect were frightened secretly. Even overbearing Hong Lie secretly had his throat dried. This old man Old Monster Tong Bi had an eccentric and terrifying reputation within the Black Cauldron Sect. ¡°Old Monster Tong Bi, is it? Sorry, never heard of it.¡± Ye Chuan replied. Instantly, people were dumbstruck, and Old Monster Tong Bi¡¯s laughter also ceased abruptly, and his expression became incomparably splendid. He was surprised, and his face became red, then got angry. After that ferociously walking a step forward, he ferociously said: ¡°Brat, are you seriously tired of living?¡± The angry Old Monster Tong Bi looked even more frightening. His beard rose, and the bronze cauldron he was carrying on his shoulder buzzed, as if about to brutally smash head on. Seeing the circumstance was bad, the personnel of Black Cauldron Sect secretly retreated, fearing the disaster would fall onto them too. Ye Chuan nevertheless didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid, and he suddenly felt a slight reaction in his heart, then raising his head, he looked towards the distant horizon and said indifferently, ¡°Old man, it¡¯s not me who is tired of living, it¡¯s you. Looking at your cultivation, it seems it was not easy for you to reach your current cultivation realm, still return back and cultivate properly. I am not interested to argue with an old man who already has his one leg in the grave.¡± Old Monster Tong Bi considered himself best in the world, but just with a single glance, Ye Chuan discovered that he was already a setting sun, his lifespan was already exhausted. Once one breakthrough and reach Xiushi realm, cultivators would leave the category of mortal, and their lifespan would vastly increase. And after cultivator reach Daoist Master realm, their lifespan would increase further, but it was still limited. Although Old Monster Tong Bi was powerful, but he had not reached the point of heaven defying realm where he could free himself from limited lifespan. ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­¡± Old Monster Tong Bi was startled and was also angry, he didn¡¯t know whether Ye Chuan was speaking thoughtlessly or talking nonsense, but seriously asking his own heart, he knew that he was in great trouble. Then stepping forward once again, he ferociously said: ¡°Now, I will give you two choice, either destroy your cultivation, or obediently come with me to Black Cauldron Sect and become my item refining boy. And after you attend me nicely, I might take you as my disciple, aren¡¯t you very lucky, gagaga!¡± Old Monster laughed strangely, suddenly not wanting to kill people. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was not up to much, but his identity was not ordinary. If he was able to seize the Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Cloud Mist Sect and make him item refining boy, then wouldn¡¯t it be more amusing than directly killing Ye Chuan. ¡°Item refining boy? Old man, do you know item refining?¡± Ye Chuan sneered, and once more looked towards the horizon. Moreover in the sky, don¡¯t know when, but indistinct heat waves were spreading. Before, when he was able to conceal the heaven with only his hand, Ye Chuan naturally had everything he had wanted. If he wanted to refine pills, he would just send someone to grab Alchemy King of that time, and if he wanted to refine an item, then all of the most skilled item refining Great Masters would be round up at one fell swoop and would be brought to him. And now, talking about the attainments of items refining, this Old Monster Tong Bi was not qualified to even lift his shoes. ¡°Good boy, did you say something, within the radius of 8000 li, if I do not understand, then who understands?¡± Old Monster Tong Bi laughed in anger, and his two eyes increasingly became red, beginning to go berserk. ¡°Seemingly far away, actually close at hand.¡± Ye Chuan answered. He spoke frankly, merely in the eyes of the people, this nevertheless was bragging unblushingly, no, was tired of living and was courting death. The Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Cloud Mist Sect Ye Chaun is stupid, and his cultivation is also trivial. This was something that was widely known by everybody already at an earlier time. Although he was suddenly enlightened recently, making the conspiracy of Black Cauldron Sect unable to succeed, but it was just this and nothing more. His cultivation was still at Wuzhe realm, which was inferior to even ordinary inner disciples. And when did anyone hear Ye Chuan knowing item refining? Now, he was speaking like this in front of Old Monster Tong Bi, wasn¡¯t that just tired of living and courting death? ¡°Haha, good, good, boy, I want to give you a way to live, but you insist on courting death! Good, I will fulfill your wish!¡± Old Monster Tong Bi was so angry that he laughed, then he suddenly threw that bronze cauldron he was carrying on his shoulder. Over ten thousand jin weight bronze cauldron ferociously smashed towards Ye Chuan, quickly and ruthlessly wanted to directly smash Ye Chuan into a meat pulp. ¡°Crush him to death, crush him to death!¡± The gaze of Hong Lie become scorching hot, and the personnel of Black Cauldron Sect excitedly cheered loudly, only the eyes of Tuoba Xiaoniao flashed with a trace of unable to bear, and her mouth moved as if wanted to say something, but the heavy bronze cauldron had instantly reached above Ye Chuan, and even if she wanted to stop, it was already too late. Raising his hand, Old Monster Tong Bi didn¡¯t leave even a bit of leeway. Once he said kill, he would kill, really was an absolutely lawless temperamental person. If he was not the devil, then he surpassed devil, compared to many rampaging Great Devil of Wilderness, he was still more terrible! Scorching hot heat waves suddenly spread out in the sky. When all the people believed that Ye Chuan would certainly die without any doubt, and wanted to see how he dies, a shadow suddenly rushed out from the dark, then stretching out his hand, he firmly stopped the bronze cauldron that was dropping down from the sky. Over ten thousand jin heavy bronze cauldron was unexpectedly stopped by the hand. And the bright red flame emitted from that palm melted this heavy bronze cauldron into liquid in front of everyone present. Fire of Scorching Sun! At the critical moment, Flame Devil quickly rushed over, blocking the deadly strike of Old Monster Tong Bi. Because of the connection between two people, Ye Chuan already had predicted this, but the people of Black Cauldron Sect were greatly surprised. Seeing Flame Devil¡¯s plain clothing, wide bamboo hat on his head and muddy cloth shoes, he completely looked like an old farmer. He was nothing special to look at, but his cultivation was heaven defying which greatly shocked everyone! And the complexion of Old Monster Tong Bi also became solemn. ¡°Noble son, old slave arrived late.¡± Flame Devil bowed towards Ye Chuan and apologized humbly. When Ye Chuan didn¡¯t return even though it was dark, Fatty Zhao Dazhi as instructed immediately went to look for Flame Devil. And after he learned of it, he immediately went to look for Ye Chuan, and following the reaction from their connection, he timely arrived here. ¡°Not late, you came just in time, now let¡¯s go. Wife, don¡¯t worry, we will inevitably have our wedding night one day.¡± Ye Chuan looked at Tuoba Xiaoniao who was standing among the crowd, then said with an evil smile. After that, he turned around to leave with Flame Devil. ¡°Brat, Great Competition is coming, at that time, I will definitely kill you in the life and death arena!¡± Hong Lie gritted his teeth. He had never thought that Ye Chuan would be able to escape this calamity like this. He resented Ye Chuan in his heart. But seeing Flame Devil behind Ye Chuan, he didn¡¯t dare to chase after him. ¡°I will accompany you at any time!¡± Ye Chuan indifferently answered, and not even looking at Hong Lie, he swaggered off. Behind, the people of Black Cauldron Sect had ugly complexion. Even the Old Monster Tong Bi was also same. His two eyes were continuously staring at Flame Devil with big bamboo hat, while mumbling, ¡°He is? Don¡¯t tell me that, it really is him? But how could this be¡­¡­¡± Old Monster Tong Bi vaguely recognized the identity of Flame Devil, but in an instant, he was unable to believe it, and suspected that he was misjudging. Cloud Mist Sect has a long history, perhaps before Sect Master Yun Feiwu went out to travel, he left a guardian master beside Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan, this was also a possibility. Chapter 55: Flame Devil’s tears Chapter 55: Flame Devil¡¯s tears Under the night curtain, Ye Chaun and Flame Devil, one in front one in the back, left, quickly leaving behind the personnel of Black Cauldron Sect. Ye Chuan walking in the front touched the crystal core of Thousand Legged Monster in his bosom from above his clothing. This time, coming to Swallow Water Bay, he didn¡¯t have his wish of finding the clue of Qingyang fruit¡¯s seeds fulfilled. This was somewhat regrettable, but en route he accidentally obtained the crystal core of Thousand Legged Monster, which was enough to make up for the latter. This was a pleasant surprise for him. With this crystal core plus a number of medicinal herbs, he could refine Qianyang pill, this would rapidly restore and strengthen his spirit. Ye Chuan was calm and composed while thinking about Qianyang pill which he had not refined for a long time, and he couldn¡¯t help but get somewhat excited in his heart. And also recalling Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s fair and smooth jade body, furthermore that embarrassed, angry and unable to flare up expression, he evilly smiled. ¡°Noble son¡­¡­¡± The hoarse voice of Flame Devil suddenly rang out from behind. Ye Chuan stopped, turned around and looked. He noticed that the circumstance of Flame Devil was far from good, and his entire body was shaking. ¡°Flame Devil, are you injured?¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan shrunk, then rushing forward, he supported Flame Devil. After that, he stretched out his hand and pressing on the heart of Flame Devil, he sent out pure spirit power into his body. Slowly, the condition of Flame Devil slowly took a favorable turn, and no longer trembled. After that rolling up his right hand¡¯s sleeve, Ye Chuan noticed his arm was weak and powerless, the bones under the elbow part were practically crushed. In Swallow Water Bay, Flame Devil amazed the world with a single brilliant feat. With a single move, he changed over ten thousand jin heavy bronze cauldron of Old Monster Tong Bi into a molten iron on the spot. This even shocked extremely vicious Old Monster Tong Bi, and he just looked at two people leaving without uttering the sound. On the surface, the cultivation of Flame Devil was exceedingly high with no equal, but in fact, he was already injured heavily by the impact force of the bronze cauldron. When a formidable enemy was glaring like a tiger, Flame Devil was calm, pretending as if nothing had happened, but as soon as he left Shallow Water Bay, he was unable to go on. In this period of time, with the help of Ye Chuan, he passed his life and death calamity, finally resolving his heart¡¯s peril of many years, but his vitality was also greatly injured, so now he was weaker than himself during his prime by a large extent. Fortunately, he was able to frighten Old Monster Tong Bi with one move, otherwise, if that old man had seen through, then both he and Ye Chuan would have their bones buried in the wilds. ¡°It¡¯s okay, you only cannot fight with others for the time being, and your foundation is not injured.¡± Flame Devil forcibly stood and urged: ¡°Noble son, let¡¯s go quickly, we must leave this place at once.¡± ¡°Okay, you must endure for the time being.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, then supporting Flame Devil¡¯s hand on his shoulder, he left. Cloud Mist mountain range continuously stretch 10000 li and yao beast ran wild in this place. The daytime was dangerous, no need to mention about the night, they could encounter ferocious yao beast at any time. And the personnel of Black Cauldron Sect were also as ferocious as wolves and tigers. Old Monster Tong Bi was a cunning person, afterward, he would very likely send someone to chase after them to see the situation, so the longer they delayed on the road the dangerous it would be. Sure enough, not long after Flame Devil and Ye Chuan left, an elite personnel of Black Cauldron Sect chased after them. And looking at the place where two people had stopped just a moment ago, he looked around feeling somewhat uncertain. Looking at the footprints, the steps of Ye Chuan and Flame Devil were rather messy, something had definitely happened here. But he couldn¡¯t find even a little bit of bloodstain, so he was unable to tell whether those two people were injured or not. After searching carefully, the elite personnel of Black Cauldron Sect continued to chase forward. Unfortunately, after the delay, he was no longer able to catch up to Ye Chuan and Flame Devil. And after seeing the mountain entrance of Cloud Mist Sect far away, he had no choice but to turn around and leave. Ye Chuan and Flame Devil hurried all the way, but still was too late to return to Purple Cloud Peak, as Flame Devil will not be able to hold on much longer. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to delay, he immediately found a cave on the spot to treat the injury of Flame Devil. Picking a number of medicinal herbs, he chewed them into a paste, then evenly smeared on the right arm of Flame Devil. Then carefully inspecting the latter¡¯s body from head to toe, his complexion slowly sunk more and more. The physical condition of Flame Devil was far worse than his imagination. The injuries left behind by the killing weapon bronze cauldron of Old Monster Tong Bi was less important, but the damage of backlash of Divine Flame Body was even more problematic. Accurately speaking, Flame Devil still hadn¡¯t completely pass life and death calamity. ¡°Noble son, is my calamity still not passed?¡± Flame Devil asked, prolonged illness turns a patient into a doctor, he himself was clearest about the circumstance of his body. ¡°Well, you can say that, but it¡¯s not accurate, the time is still too short.¡± Ye Chuan paused, then continued on, ¡°Unfortunately, currently I am still at Wuzhe realm, so many methods are useless. Flame Devil, be sure to keep in mind, for the short time, don¡¯t fight with people and also don¡¯t force yourself to cultivate. Just rest properly for a period of time, and slowly recuperate with the help of Purple Cloud Peak¡¯s elixir qi.¡± The complexion of Flame Devil became ugly, and said feeling somewhat disheartened, ¡°Then doesn¡¯t that signify, my cultivation will stop at this point, forever unable to ascend?¡± After achieving success in the cultivation of Divine Flame Body, their power will be alarming, but the cultivation course was too dangerous. They generally have a tribulation once every 8 to 10 years, and as long as they weren¡¯t able to pass through this tribulation, all of their previous efforts would be wasted. Along the way, Flame Devil had already undergone unknown numbers of tribulations but now, he couldn¡¯t help but somewhat lose his heart. ¡°No, only for the time being, I¡¯ll tell you what to do next after I breakthrough to Xiushi realm. Here take this cultivation method, but in this period of time, don¡¯t urgently cultivate it, first ponder its profoundness completely.¡± Ye Chuan took out a thin booklet from his bosom and gave it to Flame Devil. ¡°This¡­¡­¡± Flame Devil opened up this booklet and take a look at it, then he suddenly cried out in alarm. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he got. After that, he spoke incoherently, ¡°Noble son, this¡­¡­, is this All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique? No, not, the details are even more profound, and has a lot of content. Noble son, this is¡­¡­¡± ¡°Yes, this is All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique, real All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique. Your former cultivation technique was incomplete, missing a lot of key points, so cultivators are likely to walk into the fire and become a devil. Flame Devil, cultivate properly.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said. The shock and question of Flame Devil were already within his expectation. This booklet was written by him in these two days when he had some spare time. To Flame Devil, All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique was something priceless which couldn¡¯t be exchanged for any amount of silvers. This technique was his sect¡¯s secret technique that was not allowed to hand down, and was also his life technique that he used to have a foothold in this Wilderness world. But to Ye Chuan who was once able to conceal the heaven with his hand, this technique naturally was considered nothing. He could pick out even sage cultivation technique without extra trouble. ¡°Yes, this is complete All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique, real All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique!¡± Carefully looking for a while, Flame Devil got excited endlessly, then he suddenly knelt respectfully in front of Ye Chuan, then with tears flowing from aged eyes, he said: ¡°Heaven shows mercy, Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s 73rd generation disciple Yi Yanzi finally found the complete All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique, completing the long-cherished wish of the sect. Noble son, please accept I, Yi Yanzi¡¯s kowtow, from today onwards, I, Yi Yanzi¡¯s aim isn¡¯t to set foot on the peak of cultivation, but only following noble son throughout my life, never leaving.¡± For the past many years, Flame Devil had roamed all around in Da Qin Dynasty, then hid in the underground Ghost Market. And in this vast Wilderness world, he only had two wishes in his heart. One was to resolve Divine Flame Body¡¯s backlash calamity, and another one was to find real complete All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique. This was the sole wish of his master before his death, and also was his Scorching Sun Sect¡¯s successive sect master¡¯s long-cherished wish. For many years, possessed by the demon of disease, gradually Flame Devil was discouraged, no longer having the hope to find the real All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique, and he thought that he would also be depressed just like his master till his death. But he had never expected that, Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of Cloud Mist Sect, who in former days was famous in Cloud Mist mountain range as a mediocre person would make him accomplish his long-cherished wish! Chapter 56: Inheritance Chapter 56: Inheritance ¡°Yi Yanzi, this is a fine name, are you a person of Scorching Sun Sect?¡± Ye Chuan asked, and vaguely recalled that millions of years ago, there seemed to exist such sect in the Wilderness World, and the powers they had antagonized with were not few. This All Compassing Scorching Such Technique was the technique he had seized from a formidable opponent of Scorching Sun Sect. ¡°Yes, noble son, you¡­¡­¡± Flame Devil nodded his head, and stammered, then hesitating for a while, he asked, ¡°Noble son, how did you know about our Scorching Sun Sect? Furthermore, this All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique¡­¡­¡± The thin booklet in his hand where All Compassing Scorching Such Technique was recorded was ordinary, and he could even smell a trace of fresh smell of ink. This obviously was written not long ago. Flame Devil was confused in his heart, no need to mention about Ye Chuan who was famous as a mediocre person in the entire Cloud Mist mountain range in former days, even the elders of Cloud Mist Sect also might not necessarily have heard about his sect Scorching Sun Sect, but how did Ye Chuan know? This real All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique, from where did it come? ¡°Reading book.¡± Ye Chuan answered, indifferently saying two words, making Flame Devil instantly understand in his heart. Although Cloud Mist Sect was steadily deteriorating, and was experiencing Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect¡¯s suppressing, furthermore might even be thoroughly expelled out from the Cloud Mist mountain range, but it after all had very long inheritance, and was a rare ancient sect of Da Qin Dynasty. The number of experts within the sect was not few, moreover had an all-inclusive vast collection of books, which was something far from what Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, this type of new sects could compare. And as a Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of the sect, the status of Ye Chuan was aloof, and he had sect master Yun Feiwu¡¯s Purple Cloud Peak and Purple Cloud Courtyard all for himself, therefore was able to read many ancient books that an average person would never be able to come into contact throughout their life. ¡°Noble son is wise, when young, you didn¡¯t focus solely on cultivation, but read many books too, so as to lay the strong foundation to soar and conquer in the future. The inheritance of Cloud Mist Sect is long, all people said that noble son is a mediocre person, and still hasn¡¯t broken through to Xiushi realm, but little did they realize that noble son is already well-read, and has extraordinary insight. In the future, the person that can truly inherit Cloud Mist Sect and unite the entire sect is only noble son.¡± Flame Devil admired Ye Chuan in his heart, and even more felt that his decision to stay beside Ye Chuan was very wise. Who cannot cultivate, and who cannot risk their life to train, but cultivating as well as being well-read while young in age, this was visionary and sagacious! ¡°Uniting Cloud Mist Sect, this actually is nothing¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself, and became somewhat absent-minded. Then he suddenly recalled those years when the founder of Cloud Mist Sect, Ghost Hand Medicinal King was beside him. An expert of the later stage of Daoist Master realm can select to enter Da Qin Dynasty¡¯s Many People Hall, enjoying the dynasty¡¯s offerings. An expert of peak Daoist Master realm can select to enter Da Qin Dynasty¡¯s Many People Hall, obtaining the marquis title. As for an expert of Sage realm, they are aloof existence, even the Da Qing King would want to perform disciple rite. To the numerous disciples, protectors and elders of Cloud Mist Sect, inheriting sect and uniting its land was their earnest wish. That signifies becoming a peak Daoist Master realm, or even a super character of Sage realm, enjoying the supreme position and infinite glory. But to Ye Chuan, this basically was nothing. In his prime when he was able to conceal heaven with his hand, Blue Eyed Yao Empress, Ghost Hand Medicinal King and others followers beside him, who among them were not Sage realm expert? ¡°Noble son, noble son, did you say something?¡± Flame Devil asked. He had vaguely heard the muttering of Ye Chuan, but he had only heard a noise, so he wasn¡¯t able to clearly hear what Ye Chuan had said. Ye Chuan came back to his sense, then indifferently said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Yi Yanzi, how is your body feeling now?¡± ¡°Much better, thank you, noble son, merely¡­¡­¡± Flame Devil gripped All Compassing Scorching Sun Technique with anxiety and said: ¡°Merely, in short term, I cannot fight with people, and this old slave fears that I will not be able to help you, noble son. Moreover Great Competition is about to begin, and Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect clearly showed that they wanted to go into the battle with noble son, and they definitely have bad intention, this¡­¡­¡± ¡°Rest assured, since I readily agreed to it, I naturally have a way to deal with it. You only need to focus on nursing your injuries in the mountain.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°Well, then this old slave is relieved.¡± Even after seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s expression of having a well thought-out plan, although Flame Devil was still worried in his heart, but he didn¡¯t speak that out. And after pausing for a bit, he said: ¡°In addition, these past few days, when walking about in Purple Cloud Peak and calmly cultivating, I always feel ill at ease. From behind the mountain, I often feel the dangerous aura. That aura is very dangerous, and also is increasingly getting intense, as if a peerless monster is about to break the seal and come out. Noble son, what¡¯s going on?¡± After staying in Purple Cloud Peak for the short time, Flame Devil sensed the dangerous aura of Evil Dragon Abyss which was located in the mountain behind Cloud Mist Sect. Following the instruction of Ye Chuan, he didn¡¯t easily go down the mountain to see what it actually was, but his heart increasingly became restless. ¡°That is an abyss located in the mountain behind, Evil Dragon Abyss. It is said that, an ancient evil dragon is sealed under it, but I also don¡¯t know what specifically is going on.¡± Ye Chuan answered, then raising his head, he looked towards the mountain that was enveloped with boundlessly thick fog, and said, ¡°Rest assured, the inheritance of Cloud Mist Sect is long, although the sect is deteriorating steadily, but the fate is not absolute. Even if that peerless monster inside Evil Dragon Abyss rushes out, there naturally are powerful hidden experts of the sect to deal with it. The disaster will not reach us, ordinary people. The hour is already late, let¡¯s go, return back to Purple Cloud Courtyard!¡± Ye Chuan instructed, then quickly left with Flame Devil, going straight towards the tallest peak of Cloud Mist Sect, Purple Cloud Peak. Leaving God Burial Valley after millions of years, Ye Chuan had his reason in selecting to live in Cloud Mist Sect, and no other place. This sect was established by his most faithful follower Ghost Hand Medicinal King, moreover in those years, he had also spent a lot of painstaking effort. The towering peaks inside the sect were moved over to here from far away using his technique in those time. The grasses, trees, mountains and rivers inside the sect, he was more familiar to them compared to all the current people of the sect. From a piece of sect¡¯s inscribed board to mountain peaks, he clearly understood them, and the memories before he was trapped in the God Burial Valley was also here. Moreover he had never forgotten anything about many ancient restrictions of the sect, which were currently unknown to everyone in the sect. A single grass and a single tree of here gave him a familiar feeling. And the strange things were, there was no Ghost Hand Medicinal King inside the sect, and those group of as if wolf and tiger like protectors of former days were also missing. Who was that green robed person he had accidentally met beside Evil Dragon Abyss recently? Seventh Elder, is there such a person inside the sect? Ye Chuan suddenly recalled that green robed person he had encountered when he had gone to survey Evil Dragon Abyss for the first time. And until now, he was the only person Ye Chuan was not able to see through within the sect. Not only the identity of the other was unknown, Ye Chuan was unable to see through even his cultivation realm. This kind of person was very dangerous, fortunately, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t sense any hostility from that person. After returning to the Cloud Mist Sect, he no longer worried about the attack of yao beast and the hunt of Old Monster Tong Bi. Ye Chuan and Flame Devil relaxed greatly. But, after arriving at the foot of the Purple Cloud Peak, just when they were about to go up the mountain, Ye Chuan who was walking in the front suddenly stopped his steps, and a thick murderous intent directly hit his face. A white robed youngster with a long sword on his back, don¡¯t know when but was standing in front, blocking the path of Ye Chuan and Flame Devil. Chapter 57: Yi Suo Chapter 57: Yi Suo ¡°Who are you?¡± Ye Chuan asked, carefully looking at this white robed youngster that was blocking his way. This youngster appeared somewhat unfamiliar, but to be able to stand here at this time, it was obvious that he was also the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. He was dignified in appearance but was cold and expressionless. And with the strong energy fluctuation within his body, it clearly showed that his cultivation was higher than Zhu Sijia. Having such high cultivation in young age, no wonder this youngster was cold, arrogant, proud and aloof. White robed youth raised his head and looking at Ye Chuan, he said, ¡°Yi Suo.¡± The complexion of this white robed youngster was ice-cold, and his voice was also ice-cold. After hearing the sound of activity, a group of guards walked over, thinking someone wanted to have a personal battle inside the sect. But, after walking over, and noticing white robed youngster Yi Suo, they quickly turned around and stood in the dark while looking on with folded arms. ¡°Captain, why aren¡¯t we stopping them?¡± ¡°Humph, one is Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, another is the personal disciple of Third Elder, stop them? You go!¡± The guards¡¯ voice indistinctly came through. More and more guards rushed over after hearing the news, but no one dared to intervene. Soon, the figures of many disciples of Cloud Mist Sect could be seen in the surroundings, and the number of onlookers became more and more. But there was no presence of any higher level personnel of the sect here, and there was no trace of on-guard protectors and elders. Obviously, someone was tacitly collaborating with this disturbance. Taking a quick glance at numerous on-looking guards and disciples, white robed youngster Yi Suo held his head high and threw out his chest, and became even more arrogant. He was rather very pleased with himself in his heart. Now this kind of circumstance was exactly what he wanted. The more the on-looking people were, the better, and the more the commotion, the better. After traveling out for many years, today was the first day of his return to the sect. This kind of way to declare he, Yi Suo had returned was his usual style! Hearing, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan who was mediocre in former days had suddenly enlightened, and had been in the great limelight in succession in this period of time, even his master was inwardly somewhat feeling uneasy, so if he didn¡¯t suppress Ye Chuan firmly, then how can he vent his master¡¯s anger. Yi Suo looked at Ye Chuan, waiting to see the latter¡¯s anxious and nervous expression, and also wanted to resolutely slap his face in public, suppressing Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. However, he was disappointed. The complexion of Ye Chuan was flat, there was not even a tiny bit of change, as if he basically didn¡¯t know who Yi Suo was. Noticing this, Yi Suo was rather disappointed, then got angry. ¡°Sorry, just now I didn¡¯t hear clearly, say again, what is your name?¡± Ye Chuan asked. His tone was sincere, and had an expression of seriously not hearing it. Hearing this white robed youngster, Yi Suo before him was the personal disciple of Third Elder, Ye Chuan understood everything, merely pretended to understand nothing. ¡°Surname Yi, given name Suo!¡± Yi Suo suppressed his anger and said it aloud again one word at a time. A thing should not be attempted more than three times, if Ye Chuan still said that he didn¡¯t hear it clearly, then ignoring whether Ye Chuan was really speaking true or false, he would definitely raise his hand and teach Ye Chuan a lesson on the spot! The killing intent in the heart of Yi Suo increased greatly, and made preparation to raise his hand, unfortunately, Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t give him an excuse and chance to raise his hand. He nodded his head as if he heard clearly this time, ¡°Yi Suo, good, this name is good. Junior apprentice-brother, standing here so late at night to respectfully welcome I, senior apprentice-brother, you are truly making me moved. But, senior apprentice-brother don¡¯t have any present, truly embarrassing.¡± Ye Chuan reached out his hand and felt his body, seemingly wanted to take out something to gift Yi Suo for seeing for the first time, unfortunately, after feeling for a good while, he had nothing whatsoever. Looking at his dead earnest appearance and Yi Suo¡¯s expression, the onlookers chuckled. ¡°Enough!¡± The complexion of Yi Suo ashen, then ferociously taking a step forward, he said, ¡°Brat, let¡¯s fight to let everyone see whether you have the skill and qualification to be sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother or not. Show me that you are not only skilled in words, if you don¡¯t have the ability, then roll out for me!¡± With the incitement of Ye Chuan, Yi Suo quickly lost his patience. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, do you want to challenge me?¡± Looking at this aggressive Yi Suo, Ye Chuan had a simple and honest appearance, but he was coldly laughing in his heart, ¡°I fear this is not permissible, the time has not yet arrived, junior apprentice-brother, you need to wait two more days for the challenge. You can challenge others to a battle once every five days, this is the iron rule of the sect. Although I, senior apprentice-brother am sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-brother, but it¡¯s not good to take the initiative to break the rules.¡± Without even raising his hand, Ye Chuan labeled Yi Suo as the one who violated the rules of the sect. Boy, aren¡¯t you very arrogant and amazing? All right, feel free to bring it on! I will slap your face in the public, then punish you by beating, playing you to death! Ye Chuan sneered in his heart, he was most adept at dealing with Yi Suo like fellows. ¡°If you have the skill, then don¡¯t talk about the rules of the sect. You and I will just fight for 300 round without tricks in the presence of all!¡± Yi Suo fiercely stared at Yi Chuan. He was arrogant, but wasn¡¯t stupid at all. He didn¡¯t throw himself into the hole dug by Ye Chuan, just kept using prodding, wanting to force Ye Chuan to raise his hands. ¡°If everybody is like this, then wouldn¡¯t I, senior apprentice-brother has to fight all day long without cultivating and making pills?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then taking steps forward, he said, ¡°Junior apprentice-brother, don¡¯t bother me, I, senior apprentice-brother am very busy. Before they say, a good dog doesn¡¯t block the way, but now, a bad dog doesn¡¯t block the way, the dog that blocks the way is naturally inferior to the bad dog.¡± A series of laughter came through the surrounding, and especially the numerous female disciples, they laughed beautifully. Yi Suo lost his temper, gnashing his teeth, he pulled out his sharp long sword, ¡°Brat, let¡¯s fight!¡± Ye Chuan stopped his steps, the looking at Yi Suo, he shook his head, ¡°Junior apprentice-brother, do you seriously want to defy superior, and violate the rules of the sect?¡± ¡°What defying the superior, I spit, brat, fight me!¡± The complexion of Yi Suo was ferocious, he was telling himself to calm down in his heart, but wasn¡¯t able to do so. The words of Ye Chuan made him very angry. Ye Chuan shook his head again, and without any thoughts to fight, he merely crushed the message talisman. Very quickly, a loud cry came from the distance, then a gray bearded short old man carrying a medicinal hoe dashed over. And while he was still far away, he loudly roared, ¡°It¡¯s already this late in the night, but you still don¡¯t let people sleep, which fellow without eyes is looking for me¡­¡­, oh, it¡¯s Ye Chuan, you are back.¡± The expression of Second Elder was impatient, but after seeing it was Ye Chuan, his impatient face immediately changed into a smiling face. These two days, he was using all his strength to save a withering Dragon Tooth Herb. But all the methods that he came up with were useless, so he was worried and didn¡¯t know what to what should he do next, and seeing Ye Chuan in front of him, his eyes immediately shone. This message talisman was something he had gifted to Ye Chuan few days before, telling Ye Chuan that if he had any matter, then he could look for him, but after a short time, he had forgotten about it. ¡°Second Elder, you are always engaged in alchemy and cultivating medicinal herbs all day long, but do you care about our sect?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and had the expression of hating iron for not becoming steel. Second Elder was dumbfounded, then nodded his head, ¡°Care, of course, I care, Ye Chuan, what happened? Did someone kill our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciple?¡± ¡°That is not the case, merely, someone is continuously saying that the laws of the sect are not even worth a fart, and is defying the superior, he wanted to kill me, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother in public. I think this is not too appropriate for a long-term.¡± Ye Chuan replied. Yi Suo felt that the current situation was anything but reassuring. He could be arrogant in front of apprentice-brothers and sisters, but in front of elders, he didn¡¯t dare to be presumptuous. He wanted to interrupt Ye Chuan, but he didn¡¯t get the chance to open his mouth. ¡°Who?¡± Third Elder open his eyes wide, and the onlookers uniformly retreated. Inside the sect, who didn¡¯t know Second Elder, who doesn¡¯t know his strength and bad temperament, and how eccentric he was? Since Second Elder had arrived, the observant and conscientious people in the crowds of onlookers had already realized that the matter had turned for the worse, so they quickly slipped out and went to notify Hall Master Jin Zhikun and Third Elder. ¡°Second Elder, it seems, your eyesight is getting worse.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. Second Elder suddenly turned around, and as if he had just noticed Yi Suo holding the sword, he swung down his hoe, ¡°Brat, isn¡¯t that you? You dared to attack Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, moreover defying the superiors, do you truly think that the laws of the sect are just an air?¡± ¡°No, Second Elder, it¡¯s not that way¡­¡­¡± Yi Suo hastily dodged, and cried out in pain. The sharp sword in his hand was sent flying by the medicinal hoe of Second Elder. And seeing Second Elder was unwilling to let the matter drop, he ferociously glared Ye Chuan, and his hatred towards Ye Chuan grew even more. Behind, the sound of laughter came through. At first, he was arrogant and overbearing, but now he had tucked in his tail and was in tough straits. From the beginning to the end, the complexion of Ye Chuan had never changed, merely after Yi Suo ran away, looking at the Second Elder, he laughed. Just now this old man had pretended to be stupid. Chapter 58: Big trouble Chapter 58: Big trouble But failing to persuade this Medicine Crazy Second Elder, Ye Chuan was unable to immediately return to the Purple Cloud Peak, rather first went with Second Elder to help him examine that quickly withering Dragon Tooth Herb. Second Elder Nangong Ren was tense. He had spent a lot of silvers, practically using up all his savings, to purchase this Dragon Tooth Herb from underground Ghost Market. So if this herb was to wither and die just like this, then it would really be a great loss, and he would have to cry without tears. Ye Chuan carefully examined, then stretching out his hand, he grabbed the soil on the ground and pinched it, and then he didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or to cry. The reason this herb was withering to death was clearly because Second Elder was too eager, and watered it too much, quickly drowning this medicinal herb. Compared to other medicinal herbs, Dragon Tooth Herb was not that difficult to raise, and it also didn¡¯t need much spiritual qi to nurture, but it has a specific characteristic, i.e. one should pay special attention in watering it. One shouldn¡¯t water it too much. ¡°Change the surface layer of the soil, afterward, water it only once a month.¡± Ye Chuan patted off the soil on his hand, then turning around, he left. ¡°Hey, wait a bit, is that enough?¡± Second Elder wasn¡¯t at ease, and grabbing the sleeve of Ye Chuan without letting go, he asked without any demeanor of the elder, instead looking like a pitiable old farmer who made living by farming. ¡°Not so, then what do you think? Water it every day, do you think Dragon Tooth Herb make a soup and drink?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then swinging his arms, he swaggered off. Behind, Second Elder was still not at ease, but he was forced to wait and see while half-believing, half doubting. Returning Purple Cloud Courtyard, Ye Chuan instructed Flame Devil to go and pick several medicinal herbs, then he went to study and sat cross-legged to cultivate. Just now, the conflict with Yi Suo in the base of the mountain was the sign. With Great Competition coming very soon, Alchemy Hall¡¯s Hall Master Jin Zhikun and backstage Third Elder would definitely not be honest, and will not let him smoothly deal with the challenge of this time. At the base of the mountain, Ye Chuan had indifferently let Yi Suo show off as if nothing had happened. But after returning to the Purple Cloud Courtyard, he felt heavy pressure. Outside, he had to confront the pressure of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong and Five Style Sect, and inside the sect, he again had to confront Jin Zhikun and Third Elder, these two old fellows. ¡°In the final analysis, the cultivation level of this body is far from sufficient ah.¡± Ye Chuan muttered in low voice, and quietly cultivated. And while he was breathing, indistinct dragon form air mass stretched out and shrunk repeatedly. Rank 7 Wuzhe refines blood, was a crucial level of Wuzhe realm, and after breaking through this level, one would separate oneself from the category of ordinary person and becomes a Xiushi, then one can cultivate all kinds of magical techniques. If one was unable to breakthrough this bottleneck, then they would forever be a Wuzhe (martial artist), not a real cultivator. Carefully calculating, Ye Chuan had stayed in refining blood realm for not a short period of time. Although he didn¡¯t make any breakthrough, but his foundation was increasingly getting sturdier, and the dragon shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body also condensed more and more, even more gradually resembling a lifelike dragon. Ye Chuan silently read Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique, silently cultivating inside the study and secretly controlling his rate of progress to proceed in an orderly way and step by step. He needed to restore his consumed vitality, and he also needed to recover and strengthen his injured spirit. As for cultivation, he needs to proceed step by step, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t use cultivation techniques to spoil things through excessive enthusiasm. Rank 7 Wuzhe realm to Xiushi realm, this was all-round transformation, so he was preparing properly as well as was also waiting for a suitable opportunity. When cultivating, time always passed very quickly. When he opened his eyes, one day had already passed. Early in the next morning, Flame Devil who had gone out to pick medicinal herbs still hadn¡¯t return back, but fatty Zhao Dazhi came uninvited. And after seeing Ye Chuan, he heaved deep sighs and pulled a long face. ¡°Fatty, what¡¯s wrong, did you run into trouble again?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Yes, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I ran into a trouble, big trouble.¡± Fatty made a bitter face, and as if a little girl who was molested and had nowhere to readdress an injustice, he miserably looked at Ye Chuan. Seeing this expression, even Ye Chuan who was very experienced felt rather creepy, ¡°Enough, fatty, if you have anything to say, then say quickly, don¡¯t look at other people like that. If a little girl used this kind of expression, then she might be able to provoke sympathy, but you, a fat man, if use such expression, then even the blind person will be scared away. I have never thought that you were so abnormal. Okay, which junior apprentice-sister dumped you again?¡± ¡°No, there never was a junior apprentice-sister in the first place, so I have never been dumped. Merely, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I¡­¡­, I have no money.¡± Fatty said with a distressed expression. For him, getting dumped was nothing, but having no money was a big problem. In the eyes of the common people, stepping on the flying sword and flying back and forth cultivators were incomparably natural and unrestrained, and they are aloof, refined and unearthly people. But in fact, cultivation was a money-burning business, absolutely inseparable from silvers. To use the cultivation room with dense worldly spiritual qi, they need to spend silvers; Replacement and maintenance of the equipment also needed money; purchasing crystal stones and pills even more needed money. If one didn¡¯t have money, then the ordinary cultivators would be unable to move even a single step! ¡°Didn¡¯t sect give you salary every month? Now is just the beginning of the month, but you already finished spending them.¡± Ye Chuan looked at fatty, and said. No wonder this fellow looked abnormal today, could it be that he came early in the morning to borrow money? ¡°Miss Jiajia robbed me.¡± Fatty replied. Ye Chuan was a little surprised, ¡°Why? What kind of shameful matter did you do to her?¡± ¡°How could I?¡± Fatty inwardly muttered, who is Zhu Sijia? Other than Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, who dares to do shameful matters to her? ¡°Then why?¡± Ye Chuan asked somewhat curiously. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, it¡¯s all because of you. Because I take you to the Ghost Market for a stroll, Miss Jiajia is angry. Yesterday, after you walked away with Liu Hong in the underground Ghost Market, all the anger fell onto me, it was so disastrous to me.¡± Fatty drooped his head and aggrievedly said. ¡°Oh, so it was like that.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, recalling Zhu Sijia¡¯s that acknowledging defeat and angrily stomping her foot appearance in the underground Ghost Market, ¡°Fatty, is this a trouble for you? Didn¡¯t your family have rice stores everywhere around Di Qin Dynasty, and you don¡¯t lack money? So why are you bickering about such trivial amount of silvers?¡± ¡°My family had rice stores, and originally the business was also doing really great, but later¡­¡­, later for the sake of sending me to the mountain to cultivate, my family sold a lot of property, and then my family encountered a number of matters, and declined gradually.¡± Fatty said in a low voice, then pausing for a bit, he carried on, ¡°Last night, my family sent someone to bring the news. When my father went out to trade rice, don¡¯t know how but he offended a big clan, which resulted in all of the money being robbed without speaking, and he was even beaten to the verge of the death. And even after spending the remaining fortune of the family, it was not enough to heal my father, so now I can no longer continue to cultivate inside the sect. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, today I came here to help Miss Jiajia pass on the message. Great Elder wants you to go to the Cloud Mist Hall early in the morning tomorrow, and hand in the name list of the participants you have chosen for this Great Competition. In addition, I also come to you to bid farewell, I¡­¡­, I am leaving Cloud Mist Sect.¡± ¡°What? Fatty, you are leaving Cloud Mist Sect?¡± Ye Chuan was extremely surprised. Fatty didn¡¯t speak, but slowly nodded his head, then said with a sad look, ¡°All these years, I was still unable to become the inner disciple of the sect, breaking through to Rank 1 Xiushi realm is also useless. Father is seriously injured, and the financial situation of my family is declining, so as the eldest son of the family, this time I naturally have to go back to bear the heavy burden. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I¡¯m sorry, I have offended you many times before. Today, I fear this is the last time I will be calling you Big Senior Apprentice-Brother.¡± Fatty said with a serious look, in a span of one night, he seemed to have changed into a grown-man from a teenage boy who only knew how to seek pleasure and make merry. ¡°Slow down, fatty, don¡¯t be too impatient. Even if you immediately return to your home, I fear you will not be much of a help. For the matters of money, we can think about a way together. Wait until the Great Competition is over, then we will go down the mountain together to examine your father. Senior apprentice-brother, I also haven¡¯t gone done the mountain for a long time.¡± Ye Chuan stopped smiling. When fatty who had followed him everywhere was in a hard time, he naturally wouldn¡¯tlook on with folded arms. ¡°Thank you, thank you, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± The eyes of Fatty Zhao Dazhi shone, what was making him worried was not only silvers, furthermore was also the injuries of his father. Although he had already broken through to Rank 1 Xiushi, but he practically knew nothing about alchemy and treating the injuries, and felt that, he had cultivated in Cloud Mist Sect for so many years in vain. But Ye Chuan was different, before he had pretended as ignorant, remaining calm and collected, but secretly was an expert, even Second Elder come to him to ask for advice, so if he went down the mountain to help then there would be a hope for curing his father¡¯s injuries. Fatty was very happy, but thinking a bit, his complexion couldn¡¯t help but sink again, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, recently you are also having many troubles, dealing with Great Competition, and also guarding against some villains inside the sect, so how can I have the face to trouble you with this matter?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, that¡¯s just a small matter, just wait a bit.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently smiled, as if from the start, the upcoming Great Competition was a simple matter. Then turning around, he entered the study, then picking up a brush, he wrote for a while in a black sheet of paper. After that, he folded that paper, and handed over to the fatty, ¡°Fatty, take this and sell it in the underground Ghost Market. Remember, don¡¯t sell it too cheaply, sell it in at least this amount.¡± Ye Chuan spread his five fingers and shook in front of fatty. ¡°50 taels of silver?¡± Fatty asked. Ye Chuan shook his head. ¡°500 taels of silver?¡± Fatty said with sparkling eyes. Ye Chuan still shook his head. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, 5¡­¡­, 5000 taels of silver?¡± Fatty began to pant, selling this trivial piece of paper for several thousand taels of silver, are other people blockhead in money matters? Fatty Zhao Dazhi couldn¡¯t help but be doubtful in his heart. He opened the paper and saw that many obscure texts were written on the paper, furthermore there were a number of odd design, and looked very sloppy. Not a calligraphy work, nor cultivation technique, merely was a scribble, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, this¡­¡­, what is this?¡± Fatty had doubts, was very disappointed in his heart and his looks also disheartened. Such piece of paper, not to mention a large sum of silvers, even if given away for free, no-one might want it. ¡°Fatty, no matter what this is, take it to the Ghost Market, and there inevitably will be a person that knows what¡¯s what, just remember, what I have taught you, now go. With this money, you and your family will be able to tide over a difficult time for the time being.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and said nothing more. ¡°Fine, I will go to try!¡± Fatty stood up to leave being a laden with anxiety, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said: ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right, Big Senior Apprentice-brother, with regarding to the participants name list of Great Competition, it would be best to personally ask Miss Jiajia, she is clearest about the situation of the sect. Allegedly, after the news of Great Competition, many elite disciples of the sect who were outside for experience have rushed back in succession. Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect are well prepared, so it would be best to select the real elite disciples of the sect to resist them.¡± Fatty reminded Ye Chuan and left with large strides. ¡°Elite disciples?¡± Ye Chuan whispered in disdain, but, thinking for a bit, he still went down the mountain, going towards the mountain where Zhu Sijia resided. Chapter 59: This is only a rat without penis Chapter 59: This is only a rat without penis In the short duration, Ye Chuan quickly arrived at the place of Zhu Sijia, Cyan Elegant Peak. Compared to Purple Cloud Peak, Cyan Elegant Peak was not that tall, not vigorous enough and also not imposing enough, but, this place was especially elegant. The mountain top was deep purple and bright red, a lot of bamboos grew there, and when the wind blew, the rustling sound of the sea of bamboos would make one relaxed and joyful. The status of Zhu Sijia was extraordinary. She was the pearl in the palm of Great Elder. Although this Cyan Elegant Peak was elegant, and worldly qi also was especially dense, but no one dares to disturb the quiet cultivation of Zhu Sijia as they wished. When he was still far away, the maids caught the sight of him, and contrary to his expectation, they unexpectedly turned around, then closed the big door of Cyan Elegant Courtyard, shutting Ye Chuan out. ¡°Truly, as master as maid!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and without getting angry, he stepped forward, then knocked on the door, ¡°Open the door, quickly open the door.¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± A crisp voice transmitted outward from inside. Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t utter a sound, but he knew that she was definitely inside. ¡°It¡¯s me, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan, open the door. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother will spank your buttocks if you don¡¯t open the door.¡± Recalling the spank on the pert buttocks of Zhu Sijia, Ye Chuan evilly smiled. ¡°Miss isn¡¯t present, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, please return.¡± The maid still didn¡¯t open the door. ¡°Little girl, I¡¯m not looking for your Miss, I¡¯m here to see you.¡± Ye Chuan continued to knock on the door. These words of Ye Chuan scared the maid behind the door, and caught unprepared, she turned around then discuss in a whisper with Zhu Sijia and others. And while they were discussing for a way to deal with Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan used a little bit strength to push the big door and opened a small crack, directly seeing a woman in red clothing, and she was none other than Zhu Sijia. ¡°We are catching a rat, close the door, no one is allowed to come in.¡± Zhu Sijia angrily rushed over to close the door, and the rattling sound came through, as they moved tables and benches to tightly block up the door. Although this girl Zhu Sijia was always unruly and shrewish, but she would speak anything she wanted to speak and was confident. This time, she didn¡¯t even look at the face of Ye Chuan, it seems, she is not lightly angry with Ye Chuan. Forget about flirting, the crucial matter was he unexpectedly went together with that famous ** Liu Hong, moreover it was willingly, so how could other people not get angry? Zhu Sijia with an angry face, with the help of several maids, firmly blocked up the door, even the crack between the door and its frame was blocked up. Then all of a sudden, the irritating sound of knocking finally ceased. Outside the door, it was very quiet, as if Ye Chuan was forced to leave with no other choice. ¡°Humph, really went away? Truly useless!¡± Zhu Sijia snorted, and got even angrier in her heart. Want to come then come, but say leave then leave, Ye Chuan was truly too infuriating. Would tolerantly offering an apology kill you? Fatty Zhao Dazhi, he however pleaded for half a day and almost knelt down before he was allowed to come in. Zhu Sijia walked few steps panting with rage, then sat on a soft and comfortable big chair. And the sharp eyed and intelligent maids quickly served her a cup of hot tea. Opening the lid and blowing, just when Zhu Sijia was about to take a sip, suddenly the sound of footsteps came from the staircase. Ye Chuan was leisurely walking down the stairs, and his one hand was holding a continuously struggling big rat. He looked at Zhu Sijia with an evil smile on his face and said: ¡°Jiajia, were you all trying to catch this rat? Let me examine whether it is a male or female?¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia and several maids simultaneously screamed, then squeezing together, they ran far away from Ye Chuan. The cultivation of these several people were not shallow, and in front of other disciples, they were proud and arrogant, but here all of them were trembling in front of a mere rat. Seeing this, Ye Chuan shook his head. ¡°A very big rat, unfortunately it doesn¡¯t have a penis, it grew this big for nothing! Strange, quite strange, not female not male, it definitely shouldn¡¯t be like this from the beginning, were you girls the one who castrated it?¡± Ye Chuan overturn this rat, then making a show of being very much in earnest, he examined whether it was male or female, then with an evil smile on his face, he said towards Zhu Sijia and others at one side while walking over to them, making them so scared that all of them screamed again. ¡°Enough, Ye Chuan, throw it away!¡± Zhu Sijia shouted angrily. She truly wasn¡¯t able to endure. ¡°Fine, first you castrate, then cast them aside. Ai, seduce and then abandon, this saying is for you people ah!¡± Ye Chuan casually threw the rat in his hand outside the window, then patting off his hand, he sat on the big chair where Zhu Sijia was sitting just a moment ago, and said, ¡°Well, Jiajia, let¡¯s talk about proper business. Fatty has already broken through to Rank 1 Xiushi realm, but why is he still not promoted to the inner sect disciple? Moreover, you have a problem with me, but why are you robbing even the salary of fatty?¡± ¡°Are you here to criticize me?¡± Zhu Sijia was rather surprised, she had thought that Ye Chuan had come here to consult with her to complete the participant name list for Great Competition, but never thought that he had come here for the sake of fatty, ¡°Hump, this is the matter between me and fatty, why are you meddling in?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak, merely had a calm face, and seeing this, Zhu Sijia slowly got perturbed. And only after a good while, Ye Chuan said in a low voice, ¡°The family of fatty met an accident. Accidentally offending a big clan, his family¡¯s financial situation declined, and his father was beaten to the verge of death. Moreover his family doesn¡¯t have enough money to even treat the injuries of his father, so fatty is forced to return home, quitting the sect.¡± ¡°What, is that for real?¡± Zhu Shijia screamed, then walked over to Ye Chuan, forgetting everything about that frightening rat. ¡°How can this be?¡± ¡°Fatty didn¡¯t tell you?¡± Ye Chuan asked in surprise. Zhu Sijia shook her head. Looking at the serious face of Ye Chuan, she knew that he was not joking, and her eyes moistened up all of a sudden. Fatty had always followed beside her everywhere, and although she usually yell and quarrel with him, but the friendship between them was not shallow, and suddenly hearing this kind of matter had happened to the family of fatty, Zhu Sijia felt very sad in her heart. ¡°Then what about the matter of his promotion to the inner sect disciple? Can you joke about such important matter?¡± Ye Chuan could understand that Zhu Sijia robbing the salary was acting in her bad temper, but delaying the important matter even to the extent of showing no interest, this was too disappointing. Now, fatty suffered an unexpected attack and this was the time he needed encouragement. ¡°After fatty break through to Xiushi realm, I helped him, but got stuck with the place of Jin Zhikun. Relying on the status of Alchemy Hall Master, that old man blocked, not allowing fatty to be promoted to the inner sect disciple. This matter is a serious violation of the sect rule, and Jin Zhikun alone don¡¯t have such big capabilities, I guess, Third Elder also participated in secret. Seeing fatty was getting close to you, they are intentionally making things difficult for fatty.¡± Zhu Sijia calmed down and said the actual situation. ¡°Humph, again those old dogs!¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan glimmered with pallid light. He had never thought that Cloud Mist Sect, which was left behind by his former follower Ghost Hand Medicinal King, Old Rabbit, unexpectedly had this kind of scum! ¡°This matter, I will not let it be like this, I will look for my grandpa to handle this matter fairly. Jin Zhikun and Third Elder, they can only prevent for a short while, they can¡¯t prevent for the lifetime, fatty will definitely get promoted to inner sect disciple, and restore his clan!¡± Zhu Sijia resolutely said. She will definitely not let this matter drop. ¡°Well, Jiajia, I will trouble you for that, definitely cannot let those old dogs have their way. Oh, that¡¯s right, Great Elder made me look for you, is there anyone good to participate in Great Competition? Great Competition is beginning very soon.¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°What¡¯s the use of thinking, the sect¡¯s true elite disciples are Nan Tiandu, Yi Suo¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia answered, and just when she had spoken a part of it, she suddenly stopped speaking. She realized that she was tricked by Ye Chuan again, then raising her arched eyebrows, she angrily said: ¡°Hey, this is your matter, isn¡¯t it? When did grandfather hand over this matter to me?¡± ¡°Yes yes yes, this is my matter, but Jiajia, you say, who can fight with the experts of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect?¡± Ye Chuan said with smiling face. ¡°Hump, no saying.¡± Zhu Sijia angrily stared at the smiling face of Ye Chuan. The more Ye Chuan smiled, the more she didn¡¯t want to say and got angry. ¡°Really not saying?¡± Ye Chuan said while looking at Zhu Sijia with a smile. ¡°Not saying.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine too, then I am leaving.¡± Ye Chuan stood up and walked away. This time, he really left, leaving behind continuously glaring Zhu Sijia. She wanted to make things difficult and suppress the drive of Ye Chuan, but who would have thought that, before she could raise the bait, he walked away! Ye Chuan walked faster and faster. This time he had come to Cyan Elegant Peak mainly for the matters of fatty. This so-called name list was secondary. But, before he was far away, a maid of Zhu Sijia stepping on the flying sword came after him, then handed him a sheet of paper, where beautiful words were written. Zhu Sijia felt wronged and acted impetuously, but this could be considered as a major matter for Ye Chuan, so to help him, she had listed out all the experts of the younger generation of Cloud Mist Sect, moreover she had stressed on few candidates with profound cultivation and trustworthiness. All of the trusted aides of Third Elder and Jin Zhikun were rejected. Zhu Sijia was very stubborn on the surface, but in fact was actually soft-hearted. She had already prepared a list of the candidates to help Ye Chuan, truly was thoughtful. ¡°What a shrewish woman, but I like it.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, then putting away the note, he left with large strides. Chapter 60: Qianyang pill Chapter 60: Qianyang pill Returning to Purple Cloud Peak, Ye Chuan announced his seclusion cultivation. This news spread and the people shook their head one after another, what is called embracing Buddha¡¯s feet in one¡¯s hour of need, this is! [T.L: embracing Buddha¡¯s feet in one¡¯s hour of need: making a hasty last-minute effort] Great Competition was beginning very soon, and you just went into seclusion cultivation, but why didn¡¯t you go before? Wanting to win victory in Great Competition with seclusion cultivation of one or two days, if this is not indulging in the wildest fantasy then what? The public shook their head and sighed, moreover they found this both funny and annoying. Some people were worried, wondering how their sect would greatly lose its face in this Great Competition. And some people were gloating secretly, waiting to see how Ye Chuan would suffer a crushing defeat, and how he would roll down from the position of sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. The secluded and tranquil Purple Cloud Courtyard was now shrouded in a dense obscure energy fluctuation, intentionally blocked the probing of many people. Ye Chuan had activated the restriction of Purple Cloud Peak, but he didn¡¯t seriously cultivate in seclusion, rather was busy bustling about inside the alchemy room. Today, he wanted to refine a kind of great nourishing pill, Qianyang pill. The crystal core of Thousand Legged Monster he had accidentally hunted was the main material to refine Qianyang pill, and coupled with the herbs picked up by Flame Devil, everything was ready. Qianyang pill could restore one¡¯s vitality, and also had a great nourishing effect for the spirit. After the pill was successfully refined, it emits strong yang qi, causing the change in heaven and earth. So even with the skill of Ye Chuan, he also didn¡¯t dare to be negligent, as a result, in the name of cultivating in seclusion, he activated the restriction barrier. Ye Chuan threw in the medicinal herbs into the burning bright red furnace, and the firewood underneath burned violently. And after stewing it for more than an hour, a medicinal liquid finally appeared inside the little cauldron, and delicate fragrance assailed the nostrils. Ye Chuan deeply inhaled a mouthful of medicinal fragrance, then carefully putting the crystal core of Thousand Legged Monster inside the furnace, he covered it with a heavy lid. Then silently reciting his technique, he accelerated the circulation of Heaven Swallowing Talisman and added his entire spirit power in the formation under his leg. Refining good pill, not only needed perfect attainments in concocting pills, it still needed dense pure worldly spiritual qi, and only after meticulously combining all of them, the refinement would be successful. In this aspect, Cloud Mist Sect was richly endowed by nature. Purple Cloud Courtyard had a study and also had a special alchemy room, it was small but complete in every detail. The furnace of alchemy room was not bad. It was simple and exquisite, and was a good quality furnace. Unfortunately, for Ye Chuan, this furnace however couldn¡¯t be considered anything, its power was insufficient and compared to the furnace he had used for concocting pills before, this furnace had no way to compare. Merely, he also couldn¡¯t find better furnace for the time being. Moreover, he also didn¡¯t have time and energy to personally refine one, so he was forced to make do with it for the time being. A wisp of unusually sweet smell slowly spread all over, filling the entire alchemy room, then spreading all over to Purple Cloud Peak, this smell spread all around. With regarding the last hour cultivation in seclusion of Ye Chuan, all the people were giving a snort of contempt secretly. But, when all sorts of comments were being made in each corner, people having a keen sense of smell suddenly raised their head and looked towards the direction of Purple Cloud Peak, moving the alae of the nose. Slowly, more and more people noticed this unusually sweet smile. This unusually sweet smile and the fragrance of general pills was different. After inhaling this unusually sweet smile, their heart gave rise to a wisp of warm current, then their spirit got excited. What¡¯s this smell? Ye Chuan, wasn¡¯t he in seclusion cultivation? What is happening in Purple Cloud Peak? Everyone was confused, they wanted to go to Purple Cloud Peak and take a look at what was happening, but an invisible force repelled them. Purple Cloud Peak which was not fortified in former days, now was shrouded by ancient and obscure energy fluctuation. This was the power of restriction, each disciple was well aware of this, but not to mention numerous disciples, even the sect protector who had stayed within the sect for hundreds of years also didn¡¯t know that Purple Cloud Peak had this kind of restriction. Inside Alchemy Hall, Jin Zhikun who was in the middle of doing shadowboxing with blood and qi seething all over his body suddenly stopped. His Divine Yang Body unexpectedly trembled uncontrollably, affected by the unusual medicine fragrance coming from the Purple Cloud Peak; Inside a dark underground secret room, Third Elder with sinister and ruthless complexion suddenly opened his eyes, then his complexion become gloomy; In the mountain peak towering high above the clouds, Great Elder Zhu Giohong who was sitting inside a small and crude log cabin also opened his eyes, and after feeling uncertain, he lowered his head and pondered; Simultaneously, Second Elder Nangong Ren who was in the middle of taking care of medicinal herbs suddenly put down the medicinal hoe in his hand, then looking towards Purple Cloud Peak where Ye Chuan was located, his gaze gradually become scorching hot. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Before this pill was taken out of the furnace, this Qianyang pill that was being refined by Ye Chuan had already shaken the entire Cloud Mist Sect. This kind of pill was rare even within Cloud Mist Sect which was famous for alchemy. Naturally, no-one thought that it was Ye Chuan who was personally refining the pill, they thought that either Ye Chuan found a treasure left behind by Sect Master, or found it somewhere else. Recently, advisor He Taixu had spread the rumor that Ye Chuan had discovered ancient Paradise realm, and at this moment, this rumor surfaced up in the heart of people once again. People couldn¡¯t help but whisper all around, and groundless rumor rose from all direction. The unusually sweet smile in the air grew thicker and thicker, finally, they could even be seen in the air. Although the surroundings were covered densely by black clouds, but the sky of Purple Cloud Peak was bright red, and with dense pure yang qi, the air seemed to be burning. Hall Master Jin Zhikun who was wholeheartedly training Divine Yang Body, his body shook more and more violently, and his spirit was about to rush towards the yang qi in the sky of Purple Cloud Peak. Inside Purple Cloud Courtyard, it was even more unbearable for Flame Devil who was acting as the protector of Ye Chuan in the alchemy room. He cultivated Secorhing Sun Body, and compared to Jin Zhikun¡¯s Divine Yang Body, his feeling towards yang qi was far higher, if it was not for the case of his strong willpower, then he would have already rushed over to seize the pills inside the furnace. In the vast mountain behind, the figures of yao beasts began to appear and every kind of roars could be heard, no one knows how many yao beasts were attracted. Unfortunately, they were not able to approach Purple Cloud Peak, and were stopped outside the restriction barrier of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s entrance. This unusual sight in the sky of Purple Cloud Peak continued to last for no less than an hour, then it slowly dispersed. Inside the alchemy room, Ye Chuan was wet all over and was exhausted. Now there were three fiery red pills in his hand. Although his current cultivation was limited, but relying on his profound alchemy attainment and abundant experience, Ye Chuan was still able to refine Qianyang pills. Unfortunately, there were only three pieces. If his cultivation was in Xiushi realm, then perhaps he might have refined few more without wasting a lot of medicinal effect in vain. ¡°Noble son, is it a success?¡± Flame Devil looked over, then with eyes glimmering with scorching hot looks, he asked in a hoarse voice. He was also soaked, and resisting the allure of Qianyang pill with great difficulty, it seemed he was more tired than Ye Chuan. ¡°Yi Yanzi, don¡¯t you have confidence any in me?¡± Seeing the action of Flame Devil, Ye Chuan secretly nodded his head in satisfaction. Then tossing one Qianyang pill towards Flame Devil, he said, ¡°Well, this Qianyang pill is yours. You cultivate Scorching Sun Body, and your vitality is greatly injured, but this pill just happens to be a perfect cure for you.¡± ¡°Thank you, noble son!¡± Flame Devil was overjoyed, and after bowing to thank Ye Chuan, he swallowed this Qianyang pill, then his body suddenly emitted red light, and the energy fluctuation within his body steadily rose. This small Qianyang pill was unexpectedly equivalent to the effort of hundred years, making Flame Devil see the hope to reach his previous peak state, moreover he also had a faint sign of breaking through a rank! Flame Devil looked happy and healthy, the cracks on the skin of his face healed, and a layer of healthy luster appeared. He was endlessly excited in his heart. How many years? Since he suffered from the backlash of Scorching Sun Body, his cultivation was always at a standstill, and no longer had a feeling of breaking through in his cultivation. He wandered around in the wilderness and various underground Ghost Market for several tens of years, but he made no progress. However, he had never thought that, in the short period of time beside Ye Chuan, he was pleasantly surprised again and again. How many days has it been? If he continuously stayed beside Ye Chuan like this, then what kinds of pleasant surprise would he get in the future? Flame Devil who was disheartened and downtrodden for many years suddenly was full of hope and expectation for his future, reigniting his confidence in the pursuit of cultivation. Flame Devil was excited as well as he was incomparably moved. He had never heard of Qianyang pill, but seeing the changes it caused when it appeared and smelling that extraordinary medicinal fragrance, he knew that this was not ordinary pill. The vitality of Ye Chuan was not restored and his spirit was also injured, moreover there were only three pills, even if he took in all three of them, they might not necessarily be enough for him, but he absolutely had never thought that Ye Chuan would actually give such precious pill to him without hesitation. ¡°It¡¯s just a low heaven grade pill, no need to make a big deal. Yi Yanzi, properly cultivate, afterwards you will understand that there are many other pills which are better than this.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said. His complexion was calm, but Flame Devil was dumbfounded. Heaven grade pill! In the Wilderness World, alchemy and magic treasures were divided into Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow, these four grades. Every grade was again subdivided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade and best grade. A single heaven grade pill could be sold at a price as high as heaven on the outside. Even for Cloud Mist Sect which was famous for refining pills, refining a heaven grade pill was difficult, but here he was saying refining several heaven grade pill was not a big deal. Flame Devil was truly shocked. He was obviously very familiar with Ye Chuan, but the longer he stayed beside Ye Chuan, the more he felt that Ye Chuan was mysterious! Chapter 61: Dilemma Chapter 61: Dilemma To make a breakthrough, one needed to be well prepared, and also needed good luck. Small hurdle needed little good luck, and big hurdle needed great good luck. Qianyang pill contained pure spiritual power. It could strengthen spirit, and also can cleanse tendons and marrows, which would be equivalent to the effort of hundred years. This crystal core of Thousand Legged Monster refined into pills was unexpected good luck for Ye Chuan who was only at refining blood realm, Rank 7 Wuzhe. He had never thought that, while going to Swallow Water Bay to search Qingyang fruit¡¯s seeds, he would unexpectedly run into yet to mature Thousand Legged Monster on the way. Ye Chuan pinched two Qianyang pills, then he thought to immediately eat them, but again he placed them down, separately putting them inside two crystal bottle. Then going out, he stood at the top of the Purple Cloud Peak looking around the entire Cloud Mist Sect. After that, he went down the mountain and strolled inside the sect. He completely ignored the remarks and pointing out of people, and used his two legs to measure the grand, attractive and very steep mountain peaks. He frequently stood motionless gazing the high mountain, and using his fingertips to touch ice-cold ancient rocks, moreover every now and then, he would mutter to himself. After his reincarnation, it had already been a period of time since he had joined the Cloud Mist Sect, but this was still the first Ye Chuan walked around the sect after his reincarnation. On the eve of the Great Competition, he carefully sized up this familiar and again unfamiliar sect. Past events that have vanished like smoke, and the memories covered with dust slowly began to float up in his mind. Not long after swallowing Qianyang pill, Flame Devil began to cultivate in seclusion on the spot. Refining the Qianyang pill, he silently felt the changes in his body and came to realize the profoundness of cultivation. When he had swallowed Qianyang pill, it was still high noon, but now it was already night when he opened his eyes. And Ye Chuan just happens to return back from outside after strolling the mountain peaks within the sect. Opening his eyes, Flame Devil saw remaining two Qianyang pills inside the crystal bottles. These priceless pills were casually placed on the ground just like this by Ye Chuan. ¡°Noble son, you¡­¡­, you didn¡¯t take Qianyang pill? Aren¡¯t you injured, and aren¡¯t your vitality and spirit yet to recover?¡± Flame Devil was confused, but he wasn¡¯t surprised, he understood that Ye Chuan must have profound meaning to behave this way. In the underground Ghost Market, when he met Ye Chuan for the first time, every action of Ye Chuan was strange and incomprehensible, but now Flame Devil had already understood, it was not that Ye Chuan was strange, it was just that ordinary people were unable to understand him, that¡¯s all. ¡°I will take Qianyang pills, but not now, the opportune moment is not here yet.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently smiled without explaining in detail. Flame Devil became silent for a little while, then worriedly said, ¡°Noble son, Great Competition is beginning soon, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect are already prepared long ago, so like this, wouldn¡¯t you¡­¡­¡± Flame Devil was heavy-hearted, among the Big Disciple of three great sects, the cultivation of Ye Chuan was undoubtedly the lowest. Moreover, he feared that, even among all the participating disciples, his cultivation was lowest. With inferior cultivation and injuries he possessed, how would he fight in the upcoming Great Competition? Could it be that Ye Chuan wanted to take the initiative to give up? Flame Devil thought of this, but soon after that, he tossed away this thought. How could he think like that, looking at the appearance of Ye Chuan? No matter how you look, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t resemble a person that would take the initiative to give up. ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s just a crowd of little underlings, even if I am already injured, I can exterminate them with a casual move of my finger.¡± Ye Chuan unfathomably smiled, then putting away the crystal bottles on the ground, he sat cross-legged on the spot and said: ¡°Yi Yanzi, I am going to send out my spirit to move about inside the sect, so protect me for the time being.¡± Then without waiting for the reply of Flame Devil, Ye Chuan used his secret technique, letting out his spirit once again. Flame Devil was dumbstruck, a Wuzhe realm cultivator could let out his spirit, this alone already had overturned his understanding of cultivation. When he was wandering about for many years, he had never seen nor heard about a cultivator of Wuzhe realm being able to let out their spirit. Even if an elite Rank 1 Xiushi wanted to let out their spirit, then it would not be this easy, first, they had to take a bath, change their clothes and then meditate. How can it be as effortless as eating and sleeping like Ye Chuan was doing? Without any protection, letting out the spirit like this, doesn¡¯t he fear his spirit will be lost in the boundless night and no longer be able to return? Flame Devil came to his sense, and sweating for Ye Chuan, he hastily sat cross-legged beside Ye Chuan to protect him. Although his cultivation had already reached Rank 5 Daoist Master realm, but he had never dared to easily let out his spirit for nightwalking in the night. Generally, there were three kinds of people that would casually send out their spirit for night-walking. First kinds were rookies that understood nothing, second kinds were fearless great experts and the final kinds were peerless Great Devil who did as they please. Ye Chuan, which type of person is he? Flame Devil was increasingly unable to understand, and he slowly sent out his divine sense, feeling the whereabouts of Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit. Hovering in the sky for a while, the spirit of Ye Chuan, with the aid of the ill wind, first moved around Alchemy Hall, then flew towards a very steep mountain peak. Late at night, when people had fallen asleep or were cultivating quietly, in a dark underground secret room, a dim candlelight was flickering. Third Elder sat upright on a praying mat with his two eyes shut tightly, and Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun with gloomy face stood behind with his head lowered. ¡°Third Elder, what do you think about this plan?¡± Jin Zhikun asked. ¡°The plan is very good, unfortunately, the reality is very cruel, how will you implement it? Third Elder slowly turned around, and looking at Jin Zhikun, he coldly said: ¡°Your this plan must have someone that has obtained the trust of that brat Ye Chuan. Where will you find such person? Altogether only seven people are allowed to participate in Great Competition this time, and even if that brat Ye Chuan is stupid and doesn¡¯t understand anything about the situation, but at least there is that girl Zhu Sijia to give him direction, so how can we let our people infiltrate?¡± ¡°This¡­¡­¡± Jin Zhikun was speechless, and he began to sweat profusely. He was preoccupied with how to take revenge, but overlooked an important link. Looking at the sunken face of Third Elder, he braced himself and said: ¡°Third Elder, how about Yi Suo? As your personal disciple, as well as tempering himself outside for so long, his strength definitely will not be a problem. In the conference of tomorrow, as long as we strongly demand to let Yi Suo participate in the name of revitalizing the sect, Ye Chuan will definitely be unable to find the way out, and Great Elder will also not be able to oppose. Even if we forget that the cultivation of Ye Chuan himself is garbage, in any case, he can¡¯t arbitrarily select a group of trash to represent the sect!¡± ¡°This plan is pretty good, unfortunately, it¡¯s already late.¡± With a gloomy complexion, Third Elder slowly said with his hoarse voice, ¡°Although Yi Suo is young and promising, unfortunately, he is still too young and too impulsive. After just returning from his travel outside, he had a conflict with Ye Chuan. Now, why would that brat Ye Chuan select him to participate? Jin Zhikun, as a Hall Master, why didn¡¯t you know even this?¡± ¡°I was in seclusion cultivation for last two days.¡± Jin Zhikun again began to sweat, and had an ugly complexion. How could he forget about the death of his son Jin Hua? He endured humiliation as part of an important mission for so long, and helplessly watched Ye Chuan getting free and unconstrained as well as his popularity growing with each passing day inside the sect, now he truly was unable to restrain himself. So, panting, he angrily said: ¡°It is necessary to utterly defeat that brat Ye Chuan to legitimately pull him down from the Big Disciple position of the sect, moreover we need to do it seamlessly, Third Elder, you say, how can it be done?¡± ¡°Difficult, very difficult! We still have a one night time, carefully think over it again!¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu shook his head, then slowly closed his eyes again. With the support of Great Elder and Second Elder, it was naturally not easy to strip Ye Chuan¡¯s status of sect¡¯s Big Disciple, moreover, they couldn¡¯t touch him in broad daylight. But this Great Competition of three great sects was a rare good opportunity, nevertheless if they wanted to do this seamlessly, it would not be easy. Great Completion was about to begin, so some people were happy and some people were worried. Zhu Sijia and Great Elder, as well as other people inside the sect, were worried, worried about the group of participants including Ye Chuan returning after being utterly defeated, or even losing their life. Jin Zhikun and Third Elder however were also worried secretly thinking a seamless scheme against Ye Chuan. It was hard to do good deeds, and it was also hard to do bad deeds! ¡°Third Elder, Third Elder¡­¡­¡± Jin Zhikun lightly called out, but seeing Third Elder turning a deaf ear with his eyes closed, he was forced to retreat. Just after he left, the air inside the underground secret room suddenly undulated, and a black robed person with his entire body shrouded with black mist walked out from the torn void. After that Third Elder who was aloof and remote just now immediately prostrated respectfully and said: ¡°I pay respect to Dark Underworld Envoy!¡± ¡°No need for your formality, rise! Bai Yanhu, you know your sin¡­¡­¡± Black robed person was short, small and emaciated, but his face was blurred, so couldn¡¯t see his appearance clearly. His voice was also strange and ice-cold. But before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes flashed with pallid light, then stretching out his palm, he slapped the pitch-black ceiling. Suddenly, could of dust flew up and pieces of rocks flew everywhere. Several sparrows lightly sleeping on the trees of courtyard suddenly opened their eyes and just after they half-spread their wings and jumped out of their nests, their body simultaneously fell down vertically, fall dead on the ground. The carps inside the small pond and rocks in the rock garden and water flew to the sky, then fell straight down. After falling into water, the carps showed their belly. Instantly, the shockwave from 100 meters deep under the ground mercilessly killed all the life on the ground. This ferocious shockwave seemed to tear even the air itself. In a corner of the courtyard, the spirit of Ye Chuan twisted as if it was about to be torn into shreds and dissipate on the spot. But with great difficulty, he managed to leave at full speed with the help of the ill wind. Behind, a fierce wind broke out, and a huge indistinct face appeared in the sky, which chased after him, wanting to swallow the spirit of Ye Chuan! Chapter 62: Dark Underworld Envoy Chapter 62: Dark Underworld Envoy The Dark Underworld Envoy who had suddenly appeared in front of Third Elder, incisively sensed the difference, and raising his hand, it wanted to swallow the spirit of Ye Chuan. Expert! This is a real expert! Ye Chuan was aghast in his heart. The cultivation of that Dark Underworld Envoy was too astonishing. It was very likely that even Great Elder and Second Elder were not his match. His cultivation should be at the later stage or even the peak of Daoist Master realm. With his current Wuzhe realm cultivation, even if he mastered 3000 magical techniques, it would also be futile and he would be far from being his opponent. Ye Chuan insanely accelerated, and his spirit flew past in the dark, but Dark Underworld Envoy was even faster. The huge face in the sky got nearer and nearer. Although the facial features were blurred, his gaze was sternly cool and unmoved, like an ancient demon god that had climbed out from the ancient tomb. In the night sky, a red light suddenly flew over from the horizon. Scorching hot heat waves suddenly exploded between the huge face and Ye Chuan, and strangely a burning firewall appeared in the sky. The huge face was caught unprepared and colliding with the firewall, the face suddenly rippled, then twisting, it slowly changed into a black mist and returned back to the black-robed person. Afterwards, in the sky, a mournful scream resounded, then an angry roar. Dark Underworld Envoy became ferocious, unfortunately, when he put out the fire on his body, the spirit of Ye Chuan had already disappeared without a trace. At the crucial moment, Flame Devil resolutely raised his hand despite the danger of backlash to help Ye Chuan block the hunt of Dark Underworld Envoy. Third Elder also came out from the underground, and seeing Dark Underworld Envoy was angry, he felt uneasy. And at that time, several guards nearby quickly rushed over here, and seeing strange Dark Underworld Envoy shrouded by black mist, everybody was confused, and before they had any chance to ask about that black robed person, they were beheaded by Third Elder. ¡°Humph, investigate, even if you have to dig three feet underground, I want you to find that fellow who had used spirit nightwalking just now! Bai Yanhu, you don¡¯t have much time left, if you are still unable to control Cloud Mist Sect, then Evil Dragon Abyss will be your home!¡± Dark Underworld Envoy coldly snorted, then waving his hand, he tore open the void and left. ¡°Yes, Bai Yanhu understands!¡± Third Elder bowed respectfully, sending away the Dark Underworld Envoy while sweating profusely. In former days, he was aloof and remote inside the sect, but now in front of this mysterious Dark Underworld Envoy, he nevertheless didn¡¯t dare to have any air. ¡°There is an assassin, protect the elder!¡± ¡°Disciple came late, please forgive me, elder!¡± A large team of guards and disciples rushed over with raised torch, ready for a battle. Under the illumination of fire, the messed up courtyard and several bloody corpses of guards became visible, but the Dark Underground Envoy had already disappeared without a trace. Other than Third Elder, no one else knew about the existence of that person. Naturally, that damned person using Yin Spirit Nightwalking was an exception. ¡°Investigate, who used Yin Spirit Nightwalking tonight to attack my White Tiger Mountain, and seize that fellow for me. There was no reaction from the restriction of the sect entrance, this means, that fellow is definitely someone from inside the sect. Third Elder gnashed his teeth. He was frightened and was also angry. He had a kind of unspeakable fear in his heart. He had been cultivating trusted aides, and had been dominating Weaponry Pavilion by himself. And although Great Elder was displeased in his heart, but he was forced to turn blind eye, after all, Sect Master Yun Feiwu had gone out and not returned for many years, moreover it was not clear if he was dead or alive, so Great Elder also didn¡¯t dare to act rashly so as to avoid shaking the foundation of Cloud Mist Sect. But, if the existence of Dark Underground Envoy was exposed, then Great Elder would definitely not stay silent and would risk his life. He would rather have both sides suffer loss, instead of Cloud Mist Sect turning into a puppet of other people. Groups after groups of guards and disciples with torch combed through the mountain that very night. The entire Cloud Mist Sect was stirred up and the sky and the earth were turned upside down. And they focused on interrogating the elite disciples inside the sect. When the trusted subordinates of Third Elder were stirring up a turmoil in every peak, the Purple Cloud Peak of Ye Chuan however was especially peaceful. The assassin Yin Spirit Nightwalking that had appeared tonight in White Tiger Mountain to attack was obviously an expert. And without breaking through to Xiushi realm, it was basically impossible to let out one¡¯s spirit, this was a common sense that was understood by everyone, and Ye Chuan, this sect¡¯s Big Disciple was merely a Wuzhe realm cultivator, this was also known by everyone. As a result, when the trusted subordinates and lackeys of Third Elder were grabbing many people as if wolves and tigers to interrogate, Ye Chuan, the culprit however was not suspected by anyone. Late at night, the gate of Purple Cloud Courtyard was tightly closed. Returning to the Purple Cloud Courtyard, Ye Chaun¡¯s spirit and body immediately joined together. Now he looked rather pale. Just a moment ago, he had narrowly escaped the fatal attack of Dark Underground Envoy, but just that invisible shockwaves injured his spirit on the top of his previously yet to recover injuries. With his not up to much cultivation which was merely Rank 7 Wuzhe, now it seemed even more unbearable. Blood was flowing out from the corner of the mouth of Flame Devil, and his complexion was also pale. After the battle with Old Monster Tong Bi in Swallow Water Bay, he was already injured seriously, and he basically shouldn¡¯t have fought with others. But he forcibly blocked the terrifying attack of Dark Underworld Envoy to help Ye Chuan, so now his injury was even heavier. The skin of his face began to crack again as if a dried up land and the skin of his body began to wither like a tree, moreover, the backlash of his Scorching Sun Body suddenly intensified. ¡°Flame Devil, take this Qianyang pill.¡± Ye Chuan took out a Qianyang pill and gave it to Flame Devil. The body of Flame Devil trembled. Although the backlash of Scorching Sun Body was getting more and more intense, he still resisted to take in such valuable pill immediately, ¡°Noble son, then what about you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, I have another way, besides, I still have one Qianyang pill left.¡± Ye Chuan placed Qianyang pill in the hand of Flame Devil. Although he slightly hesitated, but he didn¡¯t decline again. After swallowing Qianyang pill, his body began to slowly take a turn for the better, again suppressing that terrifying backlash. Now there was no big hindrance in his body, but if he had to fight again in the short time, then he would really be helpless. Quietly cultivating for a while, Ye Chuan closed the door, letting Flame Devil quietly recuperate by himself inside. Then he went to the study and sat down by himself. After that spreading out the map of Cloud Mist mountain range, he carefully looked at it. Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were as if wolf and tiger. They were squeezing themselves in the space of Cloud Mist Sect. Moreover with Da Qin King¡¯s command, forcing Cloud Mist Sect to hand over a lot of pills, they vaguely had the opportunity to dip their finger in the practice of the sect. The Cloud Mist Sect left behind by his follower Ghost Hand Medicinal King was not trouble free. But, for Ye Chuan who had experienced countless storm, this was nothing. What truly made him worried were, one, the ancient Evil Dragon Abyss in the mountain behind, and other was mysterious Dark Underworld Envoy. Everything will turn out for the best, Ye Chuan discarded all of these thoughts, then taking out the name list prepared by Zhu Sijia, he looked at it. The Great Competition of the disciples of three sects was about to commence, but first, he had to deal with the challenge. Then carefully looking, his gaze remained at Yi Suo, these two words, and a cold smile appeared on his face. In the draft name list of elite disciple prepared by Zhu Sijia, Yi Suo was ranked in the forefront with outstanding cultivation, but because was the personal disciple of Third Elder, Zhu Sijia had crossed out his name in the name list without any hesitation. For the selection of the participants, Zhu Sijia who was well familiar with the situation had already considered clearly to help Ye Chuan. And if it was before, then Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have any opinion, but after hearing the talk between Third Elder and Jin Zhikun tonight, now he had an opinion. ¡°Dilemma? Two old dogs, really cannot restrain yourselves, apparently not dare to come directly and about to play dirty again?¡± Ye Chuan sneered, he never feared the direct confrontation, and he even more liked playing dirty. Jin Zhikun and Third Elder, aren¡¯t these two fellows in dilemma? Okay, then I will be a good person and help you choose! Chapter 63: Hating iron for not becoming steel Chapter 63: Hating iron for not becoming steel The trusted subordinates of Third Elder as if wolves and tigers turned everything inside the sect upside down in the dead of night. But, when these minions noisily reached the place of Second Elder, Thick Fog Mountain, they suffered a head-on blow. Second Elder Nangong Ren was known as Medicine Crazy, and his mountain was filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs. Because his cultivation was formidable as well as he was temperamental, usually no one dared to casually come to his mountain. But this time, the trusted subordinates and minions of Third Elder unexpectedly rushed into the mountain, and even arbitrarily searched all over the Thick Fog Mountain, resulting in suffering the wrath of Second Elder. All of them were scared witless and rolled down the mountain with their head covered with bumps and bruises. In front of these minions, other protectors and elders restrained themselves and didn¡¯t raise their hand, at most, they let their guards shut them out, but Second Elder didn¡¯t follow the suit, he personally taught these fellows a lesson. Someone defied him and said Second Elder was flaunting his seniority, and being big attacking small, but the result of that was, Second Elder crushed the message talisman, then a formidable aura soared from the mountain behind, indicating that that defying fellow was about to suffer a great tragedy. Nan Tiandu who was cultivating in seclusion in the mountain behind came with great momentum, then ruthlessly abused those minions who couldn¡¯t tell good form bad. Moreover, compared to Second Elder, he was even more heavy-handed. The character of this master and apprentice was totally different, but they had one common thing, which was when raising their hand, they showed no quarter. Numerous arrogant minions were completely beaten down, and they retreated to White Tiger Peak ceasing all their activities. After the cultivating in seclusion, the cultivation of Nan Tiandu had progressed greatly. Even Ye Chuan, who was sitting inside the Purple Cloud Courtyard, was able to sense Nan Tiandu¡¯s that ice-cold aura and soaring sword qi. That kind of sharp sword qi was the unique and fierce aspect of Heaven Shaking Nine Swords! Sensing the aura of Nan Tiandu, Ye Chuan smiled, and now, he was even more certain of his next move. After dawn, Ye Chuan swept inside and outside first, then he leisurely went out. When he arrived at Cloud Mist Hall, basically all people had already arrived here. All the elite disciples who had rushed back from the travel outside including Yu Suo were also there. Moreover, Yi Suo was standing in the front row of disciples. ¡°Ye Chuan, since tomorrow is the day of Great Competition, you must set out today, so did you prepare the name list of personnel that will accompany you for this battle?¡± Great Elder asked. Currently, Cloud Mist Sect was steadily deteriorating. Moreover, in this Great Competition, it was decided that the Big Disciple of each sect would lead their respective group and take part in a battle. No matter if it was Black Cauldron Sect or Five Style Sect, both of them were strong. So with Ye Chuan¡¯s trivial Wuzhe realm cultivation, they feared that they would lose most miserably than ever before. But, even though they were pessimistic in their heart, this after all was a big event, so Great Elder still asked personally. Even if they lose, they wanted to lose at least in a not so humiliating way. They must not lose in in a terrible state. ¡°Great Elder, in the Great Competition of this time, is it okay for me to not participate?¡± Ye Chuan asked, instantly shocking the entire audience. What time is it now? Tomorrow is the day of Great Competition, and now you are afraid and want to give up, where did you go before? This is a great event held only once in every three years, do you think this is a child¡¯s play, that could be given up just saying you want to give up? The originally solemn and quiet Cloud Mist Hall immediately became noisy as if a vegetable market. And the gaze looking towards Ye Chuan had surprise, unforeseen, and hating iron for not becoming steel looks. Moreover, there even more were ridicule and fury. Toady, Zhu Sijia was wearing a fiery red outfit which perfectly showcased her flawless body. This was attracting the gaze of many male disciples. Some were secretly watching her again and again and some were even fixedly staring her without looking away. If this was usual time, then this unruly and shrewish Zhu Sijia would have definitely not let those rude fellows off, but now, her complexion was ashen, and was angrily glaring at Ye Chuan. Now she was very angry. For the Great Competition of this time, she had secretly put a lot of thought. And to help Ye Chuan, she had persuaded several truly capable disciples, and also did her best to help Ye Chuan in any way she could. But who would have thought that, in this critical juncture, Ye Chuan however would give up, without letting anyone know beforehand! Other people are dishonest, but Ye Chuan, you are expert in entrapping junior apprentice-brothers and sisters. Zhu Sijia gritted her teeth. The words Fatty Zhao Dazhi had stated before appeared in her mind, and now, she finally understood the grief of fatty. ¡°Not possible, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect have already agreed. In the Great Competition of this time, the Big Disciple of each sect must go to the battle.¡± Great Elder resolutely said with ugly looks. And looking at Ye Chuan, he hated iron for not becoming steel. Now, whether Ye Chuan was willing or unwilling to go into the battle, he had to participate in this Great Competition, because now, it was already too late to even temporarily substitute, letting other people replace him as a sect¡¯s Big Disciple. ¡°Then fine, the name list is already ready.¡± Ye Chuan said with the appearance of having no choice but to do something against his will. And hearing his words, the younger generation disciples couldn¡¯t help but shrink back in succession. In the Great Competition of this time, Cloud Mist Sect was basically not worried about the odds of success was not big, but worrying about losing too miserably. Now, with Ye Chuan, the person responsible to lead the group to go into the battle, having such cowardly expression before the battle, how would they fight this battle? And being selected to go into battle with him, wasn¡¯t that just waiting for losing their face? Several elite disciples with outstanding cultivation who were persuaded by Zhu Sijia and had agreed to go into battle before, seeing this expression of Ye Chuan, they couldn¡¯t help but retreat. ¡°Well, read it yourself!¡± Great Elder instructed. Now he had no mood to ask carefully. ¡°In this battle, other than me, there furthermore are six people. They are Nan Taindu, Zhu Sijia, Zhao Dazhi, Wu Yong, Wang Li and¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan looked at all the people and spat out two words, ¡°Yi Suo.¡± The noisy hall became absolute silent all of a sudden. The cowardliness before the battle of Ye Chuan had already surprised the people, but this time, they were even more surprised. This name list of Ye Chuan was outside the expectation of everyone. Nan Taindu and Zhu Sijia, it was reasonable for these two names to be in the name list. But what does he want to do by taking along fatty Zhao Dazhi? Except a bit honeyed mouth and his head being a bit faster, he was just a fat meat. Taking him there was equivalent to delivering an easy mark to the doorstep of the experts of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect. The name of fatty Zhao Dazhi being in the name list was unexpected to everyone. But as for the two names Wu Yong and Wang Li, the overwhelming majority of people haven¡¯t even heard of them. Even Zhu Sijia was somewhat dumbfounded. In the draft name list, she had given to Ye Chuan, were there such names? And after working hard to inquire, they finally knew that those two were the handy man that had recently joined the sect and they were barely regarded as an outer disciple. The odd of success in this time¡¯s Great Competition was already too low, still not selecting the participants from so many elite disciples, but selecting fatty who was covered with fat meat and two recently joined handy men, what on earth does Ye Chuan want to do? Weren¡¯t they already going to lose enough face? And was he worried about losing not miserable enough? Everyone was greatly surprised and everyone had a different expression. Some breathed a sigh of relief. With their name not in the name list, they didn¡¯t have to follow together to lose face and make a fool out of themselves; some people desperately shook their head and secretly sighed for the misfortune of the sect and for having this kind of Big Disciple; some people secretly sneered, waiting to see how Ye Chuan would end up; and some people were in stunned state without any reaction, Yi Suo was one of them. Among the younger generation disciples, Yi Suo undoubtedly was an expert and also a genius. In such young age, his cultivation had already reached Rank 3 Xiushi. But everyone knew that he and Ye Chuan were completely incompatible, and as soon as they met, a conflict would break out. When these two people met, and didn¡¯t fight, then that was already good, but who would have thought that Ye Chuan unexpectedly wanted to take him together to go into the battle. Yi Suo was surprised, and Hall Master Jin Zhikun was also same. Only after a short while, they came back to their senses, and seeing Ye Chuan was not joking, they were wild with joy. They were thinking about how they could make Ye Chuan gone forever? But, they had never expected that Ye Chuan would deliver himself to their doorstep. Heaven-sent chance, justice will be done by God! Jin Zhikun was elated, but Third Elder beside him gave him a meaningful glance. After Third Elder came to sense, he didn¡¯t dare to be too excited so as to avoid giving himself away. But little did he imagined that Ye Chuan had already noticed the subtle change in his expression. Still, Ye Chuan maintained his composure on the surface, but sneered in his heart. Chapter 64: Junior apprentice-brother, I’m sorry Chapter 64: Junior apprentice-brother, I¡¯m sorry After the unexpected surprise, Yi Suo looked at Ye Chuan and coldly asked: ¡°Why choose me?¡± With regarding the name list of this time, Yi Suo was extremely surprised. As an elite inner sect disciple and a cultivator genius, he was eager to be head and shoulder above the others, he wanted to surpass any other disciple of the sect and moreover tried his best to be in limelight. For this, the Great Competition of this time was undoubtedly a good chance. Unfortunately, Ye Chuan was the leader of the group and all the participants for this battle would be chosen by him; thinking this, Yi Suo didn¡¯t have any interest to participate and also didn¡¯t hold any hope to be able to participate. Just after returning from the travel outside of many years, he was hostile towards Ye Chuan in public and nearly fought with him. So Yi Suo didn¡¯t believe that Ye Chuan had no ill feeling towards him and let him enter the competition. If he was in the place of Ye Chuan, he would have also done so. But, the current development of matter was beyond all expectation. Now he could represent the sect to go to the battle, and exhibiting his awe-inspiring bearing, he would get into the limelight. Yi Suo was naturally happy, but he was also very puzzled in his heart, worrying whether Ye Chuan was concocting a scheme or not. Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun was also same. After being pleasantly surprised, he doubtfully looked at Ye Chuan and began to feel uneasy, facing a difficult choice. Yi Suo going to the battle, this was a chance, chance where Ye Chuan had delivered himself to the doorstep; but this chance came too suddenly and too timely, so he couldn¡¯t help worrying whether Ye Chuan was scheming or not. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Ye Chuan looked around, then stopping his gaze on Yi Suo, he sincerely said, ¡°I was wrong before. It was I, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother not carrying out well. You had just returned from outside, but not only did I not give you a welcome dinner, instead I treated you rudely. That wasn¡¯t a proper magnanimity and self-restraint of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, sorry.¡± All the people inside the Cloud Mist Hall were shocked one after another again and had their eyes wide open. Moreover they thought that they had heard wrongly. The cultivation of Ye Chuan was not up to much, but his status after all was sect¡¯s Big Disciple. And Big Disciple apologizing to ordinary disciple in the presence of all, this was the first time. The sun truly rose from the west! Yi Suo snorted, and coldly staring at Ye Chuan, he was still doubtful in his heart. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, I know you have a problem with me. But, that is personal grievances, I believe you understand the major matters of principle.¡± Ye Chuan paused and slowly continued, ¡°I¡¯m very ashamed, as a sect¡¯s Big Disciple, I, senior apprentice-brother¡¯s cultivation however is mediocre. I can do nothing about it, my talent is just like this, unworthy of all elders¡¯ kindness. We all know, I never liked bustling activities, and originally, I didn¡¯t want to participate in Great Competition of this time, but because of the stipulation of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, I have to participate. With my cultivation and strength, the odds of victory in this Great Competition is not big, so I hope to entrust hope on the real cultivation genius of the sect. Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, this battle is exclusively yours, if you don¡¯t take part in this battle, we are certain to lose. I, senior apprentice-brother losing my face doesn¡¯t matter, but losing in this Great Competition is too unsightly, moreover, it implicates the entire sect too! Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, this Great Competition cannot be without you, so, let¡¯s go into battle together with me, senior apprentice-brother!¡± The tone of Ye Chuan was downbeat, and was speaking in an earnest tone, which caused listening people unable to refuse. In the name of the sect, he did his utmost to invite Yi Suo to take part in a battle in the presence of all. The complexion of Yi Suo slowly simmer down, no longer was so cold. He enjoyed these words of Ye Chuan very much. Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, so what, encountering a big matter, didn¡¯t he has to speak humbly under his breath in front of him? Yi Suo no longer doubted now, and Zhu Sijia and others were also the same. Although him inviting Yi Suo to go into the battle greatly surprised people, but hearing his explanation, and thinking for a bit, they also found this fair and reasonable. Among the total of seven people taking part in the battle, the cultivation of Ye Chuan was mediocre, moreover, taking along fatty and two other useless outer sect disciples, if he didn¡¯t request an expert to participate, then they basically wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything in this competition. ¡°How about that, junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, did you consider clearly?¡± Ye Chuan struck while the iron was hot. He still had sincere and expectation written all over his face, but he was sneering in his heart. And without revealing any trace, from the corner of his eyes, he took a quick glance at Third Elder and Jin Zhikun. Didn¡¯t you want to play dirty? Well, feel free to give all you¡¯ve got, let¡¯s see what you can do! Ye Chuan met plot with plot, wanting to seize the opportunity to draw a snake out of its hole, and think of a way to eradicate Jin Zhikun, Third Elder and so on, this kind of scums in one fell swoop. Otherwise, the longer these fellows hide inside the sect, the more detrimental they are! Yi Suo didn¡¯t utter a word, just looked at Third Elder on the side. And seeing latter secretly nodding his head, he snorted and nodded his head to agree, ¡°Fine, for the sake of the sect, this young master will walk with you for a round trip.¡± Yi Suo still put on airs, but Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun who was arrogant on account of his seniority however had a happy face. He had worried for so long, now the matters were finally settling. Next was to discuss the concrete action plan, to make Ye Chuan disappear forever. Jin Zhikun took a quick glance at Ye Chuan and lowered his head in order to avoid giving himself away. He was very excited, as after gnashing his teeth and enduring for so long, he finally had a chance to take revenge! ¡°Senior apprentice-brother is wise!¡± Ye Chuan cupped his hand with a smile on his face. He looked as if he was entirely unaware of the danger of inviting a wolf into his house. Conversely, Zhu Sijia who was standing at one side felt something was fishy, but she also didn¡¯t retort in public for the time being, and said angrily, ¡°Ye Chuan, let¡¯s forget about taking fatty with us, but what¡¯s going on with those outer sect disciples called Wu Yong and Wang Li? Are you worried about us Cloud Mist Sect losing not miserable enough for intentionally bringing along these two people into the battle?¡± Zhu Sijia angrily gritted her teeth. She had worked laboriously for so long to help Ye Chuan make a draft name list, moreover had also persuaded several experts to go into the battle. But who would have thought that, he simply didn¡¯t use it at all, and he unexpectedly advocated arbitrarily. ¡°Yes, what¡¯s going on with this matter? ¡°He spared no effort to invite arrogant Yi Suo to go into the battle, but also brought two worthless outer sect disciples, what does Ye Chuan want to do?¡± People began discussing spiritedly, and even after thinking until their head broke, they didn¡¯t understand the reason behind this. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo is matchless in cultivation, and is also our sect¡¯s genius who appears only once in thousand years, so in this Great Competition, he alone is more than enough. As for those two outer sect disciples, the location of competition is far away, and there must be someone to run errands, prepare dishes and so on, no?¡± Ye Chuan answered. Everyone passed out, those two outer sect disciples were going just for preparing dishes and running errands? No one had the ability to think this way, only Ye Chuan alone would be able to think so! All people stared dumbfounded and were having a difficult time to believe what they had heard. But Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid, completely ignoring the criticism of everyone. Although his cultivation was not up to much, the skin of his face was sufficiently thick. Great Elder was speechless, then shaking his head, he left. Zhu Sijia ferociously glared at Ye Chuan, then she also turned around and left. In just this fashion, the crowd of Cloud Mist Hall dispersed. People shook their head one after another. Now they even more didn¡¯t have any hope for this Great Competition. Only Yi Suo was in high spirit and was still very happy with the words of Ye Chuan. Whether sect loses its face or not, he actually didn¡¯t care at all. Even if they were utterly defeated in this great Competition, he didn¡¯t care. As long as he alone gained far-flung fame and got in the limelight, it was fine. ¡°In this war, I want to let common people remember two people, one is trash Ye Chuan and another is me, Yi Suo!¡± Looking at Ye Chuan, Yi Suo put on a false smile, but resolutely vowed in his heart then walked away. Ye Chuan also laughed. Looking at the back view of Yi Suo, Third Elder and other people, he smiled fatuously, making people shook their head. Only a single person had his complexion unchanged from the beginning till end, and that person was Nan Tiandu. He stood straight as if a sheathed sharp sword in that place from the beginning to end. With calm as if water mind, he was not affected by any external circumstance. There was a sentence Ye Chuan didn¡¯t say wrong. In this Great Competition, as long as there was one person, it was enough. But this person wasn¡¯t Yi Suo, rather Nan Tiandu who had just came out from seclusion! Chapter 65: Horned Demon Chapter 65: Horned Demon ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Tiandu, did you make a breakthrough?¡± Ye Chuan sized up Nan Tiandu. ¡°No, still am Rank 3 Xiushi.¡± Nan Taindu answered. Even when he was standing motionlessly, he gave people a threatening sword aura, and with his uncommunicative character, he looked very cold. ¡°What layer did your cultivation of Heaving Shaking Nine Swords reach? Are you able to condense flying sword out of spiritual power?¡± Ye Chuan asked again. Nan Tiandu was dumbfounded, and immediately, his right hand subconsciously held the hilt of his sword, fixedly staring at Ye Chuan.Now he looked just like a unsheathed sharp sword pointing towards the space between the eyebrows of Ye Chuan. Heaven Shaking Nine Swords was an ancient technique he had accidentally obtained. After successfully cultivating this technique, one could condense one¡¯s spiritual power into flying swords, and with a single thought, one could easily send out myriads of swords simultaneously. The might of this technique was truly monstrous. Other than his Master, Second Elder Nangong Ren, for the past many years, no one inside the sect knew his this secret, but how did Ye Chaun know? ¡°Don¡¯t be tense, the might of Heaven Shaking Nine Swords is pretty good, but I don¡¯t have any interest in this kind of technique, merely I understand a little about it by chance.¡± The tone of Ye Chuan was flat. Facing the pressure of Nan Tiandu, he didn¡¯t feel any discomfort. He just paused for a while and continued on, ¡°The path of cultivation is the path of defying the heaven, unfortunately, many people don¡¯t know that, in fact, the cultivation speed isn¡¯t important, what truly is important is the foundation. One should properly temper body and spirit, and every realm should be cultivated to the pinnacle, only then they could go further and climb higher. To condense flying swords from spiritual power, just truly grasp the essence of Heaven Shaking Nine Swords, Tiandu, continue to strive.¡± Intentionally or unintentionally, Ye Chuan gave some pointers, then left. Although Second Elder Nangong Ren and Nan Tiandu were known as master and disciple, but in fact, Second Elder had taught him nothing. And most of the time, Nan Tiandu cultivate and comprehend by himself. Heaven Shaking Nine Swords had many details which even Second Elder also didn¡¯t understand, but suddenly listening to Ye Chuan speaking about spiritual power flying sword, even Nan Tiandu who was calm as if water also couldn¡¯t help being greatly surprised. Seeing Ye Chuan was getting farther and farther, Nan Taindu came back to his sense and he hastily chased after him: ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Great Competition begins tomorrow, so when are we setting out?¡± ¡°After fatty returns, we will immediately set out. Tiandu, go to the underground market to meet fatty, then say him to not to delay any longer.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even turn his head and walked away. Behind, Nan Tiandu bowed, receiving the order, then rushed towards the underground Ghost Market. Formerly, when he had stayed beside Ye Chuan because of the instruction of Second Elder Nangong Ren, although he said nothing, but unavoidably he somewhat looked down upon Ye Chuan in his heart. But now, he suddenly understood that Ye Chuan was far from as simple as he looked on the outside. He even knows my life technique Heaven Shaking Nine Swords, moreover understands it deeply, was this discerning ability after reading books? Now, Nan Tiandu couldn¡¯t see through Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother more and more, and gradually he genuinely respected him. Returning to Purple Cloud Peak, Ye Chuan sat cross-legged in the study, calmly waiting the time to set out. Meanwhile, inside the dimly lit underground market, fatty Zhao Dazhi however was bitterly laughing while sitting on the ice-cold floor. When each person passed by in front of him, he would raise his head with expectation, then would despondingly lower his head again. In the stall of other people, there were many superb collections of beautiful things, and even the most incompetent among the other stall also had at least several kinds of things, but it was empty in front of fatty with the exception of one piece of paper pressed down with a stone. Soon, he had to go to participate the Great Competition, but fatty still desperately wanted to make money, and didn¡¯t dare to let any chance slip by. Before, he didn¡¯t need to worry about the basics, but now was different. The financial situation of his family had declined and his father was seriously ill, so he truly needed the money. Now, not only he had to feed himself, he also needs to purchase cultivation necessities, moreover also had to think of a way to give financial help to his family. Ye Chuan had written something in that piece of paper pressed by the stone. But what was it, Fatty was unable to understand it, but Ye Chun had said that it was valuable. So he tried his best to sell it in this underground market. He didn¡¯t have any ability to grow medicinal herbs, and also couldn¡¯t concoct the pills, so he placed all his hope in this piece of paper. The rustle of footsteps came as someone walked over. Now tired and also hungry fatty hastily raised his head, and eagerly kept gazing anxiously till his eyes were strained. The person that had walked over was a big and tall middle-aged man, wearing a heavy armor. He seemed to be a loose cultivator, and looked arrogant and overbearing. He walked towards fatty just like a crab holding his head high. And after he walked past, fatty despondingly lowered his head. But just when fatty lowered his head, this man returned back and asked: ¡°Hey, what is this?¡± Fatty immediately raised his head again with excitement. After waiting for so long, finally someone showed interest, so he hurriedly held the slip of paper and stood up. After that, he carefully opened the slip of paper, and with a smile on his face, he said: ¡°Your Excellency, this is a treasure, invaluable rare treasure, take a look, this¡­¡­¡± Fatty used his glib-tongue, but he also didn¡¯t know what this slip of paper was, so he could only speak vaguely, hoping to be able to encounter a person who was stupid in the money matter. But, this loose cultivator in front of him clearly wasn¡¯t. Middle-aged man shot a glance at the slip of paper in the hand of fatty, then looked at fatty with disdain and said: ¡°Kid, are you a person of Cloud Mist Sect?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Fatty answered and was somewhat confused. He didn¡¯t know why this middle-aged man suddenly asked this. Although all kinds of goods are sold in the underground market, but selling a slip of paper, this kind of affair was also the first time, and the overwhelming majority of people snorted disdainfully at this. And seeing someone really took interest in the stall of fatty Zhao Dazhi, lots of people gathered around to watch the excitement. Even Exploiter Hu who was only concerned about making money also couldn¡¯t help but walked over to take a look at the bustling. ¡°Let me see, what is this? Child¡¯s graffiti? Hahaha¡­¡­¡± The middle-aged man suddenly snatched the slip of paper from the hand of fatty, then looking at it for a while, he casually threw it to the ground, and said while roaring with laughter, ¡°What a joke, can this kind of thing also cheat people, still calling it priceless rare treasure, truly ridiculous. Never thought that the grand Cloud Mist Sect unexpectedly have this kind of swindler. It seems Cloud Mist Sect is really on the point of death¡­¡­¡± The middle-aged man strode away. And along with the whisper among themselves, the people looking on roared with laughter. Fatty was embarrassed. A former cash daunting hero fatty who spent without restraint, now truly had nowhere to hide his shame. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I truly am suffering miserably here!¡± Fatty cried without tears, then crouched down to pick up the slip of paper on the ground. When this slip of paper was handed over to him, Ye Chuan was serious. Although fatty was unable to make sense of what he was looking at, but he had to believe, and with a good dream, he came to this underground Ghost Market. Little did he imagined that he was purely indulging in his wildest fantasy. Ye Chuan had mercilessly buried him alive! Big Senior Apprentice-brother was definitely comforting in his own way, seeing I was so sad, yes, it¡¯s definitely like this! Fatty consoled himself in his heart, thinking the only explanation. A pair of heavy deer skin boots suddenly emerged in front of fatty, then the slip of paper he was about to pick up suddenly disappeared without a trace as this person had grabbed it. Fatty raised his head, and in front of him was an extremely burly figure. His height was nearly 3 meters, and his arms were twice as thicker as the thigh of ordinary people. Standing in front of fatty, he looked just like a mountain and his aura was threatening. His entire body was covered with a black robe, revealing only a pair of dark red eyes. He also wore a big bamboo hat on his head. Fatty who was squatting down, looking at this person from down, coincidentally, he indistinctly saw two lumps on the head of the other party which looked just like a pair of ox horn. Horned Demon? Fatty was startled, and the fat meat all over his body trembled. In the Wilderness World, cultivators are usually divided into Martial Cultivator and Spirit Cultivator, these two styles. One specialized in cultivating body and other give priority to cultivate spirit. But in many remote places, there is another secret type outside those two main types, that was Demonic Cultivator. They specialized in seizing yao beasts¡¯ qi and blood as well as their innate skill. They wouldn¡¯t even hesitate to transplant some part of yao beasts¡¯ body on their own body, even to the extent of joining together the yao beast and their cultivation technique, becoming not human not beast monster. Their cultivation advance at an amazing speed and they are incomparably fierce. According to their different physique, they are divided into many categories, and Demonic Cultivator with horns on their head is called Horned Demon. Wherever it was, Demonic Cultivators were practically rejected by all, as all big sects didn¡¯t tolerate them at all. Although the topography of Cloud Mist mountain range was complex, but because of the existence of Cloud Mist Sect, ever since the ancient times, Demonic Cultivators didn¡¯t dare to roam about freely here. And suddenly encountering a Demonic Cultivator, moreover a fierce Horned Demon all of a sudden, fatty was badly scared! Chapter 66: Ghost Talisman Chapter 66: Ghost Talisman The sudden appearance of Horned Demon made people uniformly take few steps back. The complexion of everybody tightened and no-one uttered a word. Other than fatty who was squatting on the ground, no-one saw the lumps on the head of this Horned Demon, so they didn¡¯t know he was a Horned Demon. But with nearly three meters tall body, and furthermore that killing intent surrounding his body, all of the onlookers were shocked without exception. All the people in the underground Ghost Market were sly people, and their eyes were very sharp, quickly realizing that this person was an expert, moreover a great devil who killed people without batting an eyelid! Finished! This fatty of Cloud Mist Sect is finished, unexpectedly taking out a sheet of casually scribbled paper in front of this person, now, not only he would not earn money, he will be leaving even his little life here! People sighed in their heart, but not a single one of them dared to step forth to help. In the underground Ghost Market, the best way to survive was to put one¡¯s safety before matters of principle, moreover no-one wants to be meddlesome. Although Fatty Zaho Dazhi was pitiful, but this pitiful person certainly had hateful aspect, who asked him to take out such slip of paper to tease people? Swindling money is also a skill, it isn¡¯t something an average person could do casually. Just like Exploiter Hu, although he is known as stripping off a layer of people¡¯s skin, but those people have never come to make any big trouble for him. He clearly knows who to swindle, and have swindling skill too. ¡°Your Excellency, you¡­, I¡­¡± Fatty trembled with fear and stood up, then looking at this terrifying Horned Demon, he spoke incoherently. Now fatty didn¡¯t want that slip of paper, merely was wishing he could immediately flee from here. The farther from this Horned Demon, the better. But his legs had gone soft and without any strength, he began to tremble more and more violently. ¡°This paper¡­¡­, I want it, how much? Name the price!¡± The hoarse voice of Horned Demon came through. After spreading out the piece of paper in his hand and taking a look for a little while, his dim red eyes emitted unusual radiance, just like a starving wolf wandering in the wilderness. The surrounding became very quiet. All the people stared dumbfounded, including fatty. This person isn¡¯t here to kill someone, but to buy something? This slip of paper, is someone really buying it? People found it very hard to believe, and that loose cultivator who had already walked far away also came back, but similarly stared dumbfounded. But this time he was better-behaved, in front of the Horned Demon, he was well-behaved just like a cat, and didn¡¯t dare to show his earlier arrogance. ¡°As long as, as long as¡­¡­¡± Fatty calmed down a little bit, and thinking about his seriously ill father back at home, he gritted his teeth and gathering the courage, he stretched out his finger. ¡°50 taels? Trying to sell a piece of paper at such price, this fatty really dared to speak without thinking!¡± ¡°Exactly, truly caring for money over his life. But it¡¯s strange, what is that thing to be so expensive?¡± People whispered all sorts of comments. The face of fatty reddened, then paled. He continuously recalled the instruction of Ye Chuan, so even though the people were already feeling 50 taels was already an exorbitant price, he was far from being satisfied. But, standing before him was not a loose cultivator, rather a Horned Demon, so who would dare to haggle with him? Horned Devil didn¡¯t utter a word. And seeing Horned Devil was silent and the atmosphere around them getting tense, fatty felt more and more uneasy. Fortunately, the silence was only for a moment. Horned Demon finally opened his mouth: ¡°8,000 taels, how¡¯s that?¡± The people who were making all sorts of comments suddenly became quiet. 8000 taels? People doubted whether they had heard wrongly, 8000 taels for a sheet of paper, isn¡¯t that price as high as heaven? Fatty was also greatly surprised, he had never thought that as soon as Horned Demon opened his mouth, he would be so bold and uninhibited, so fatty was truly dumbfounded, ¡°Your Excellency, this¡­¡­¡± ¡°Is that still not enough?¡± The face of Horned Demon was covered with a black cloak, so his expression couldn¡¯t be seen, but his eyes flashed with cold light, then taking out a pile of banknotes from his bosom, ¡°12,000 taels, no more than this, if this is still not enough, then¡­¡­¡± ¡°Enough, it¡¯s enough!¡± Fatty as if awakening from the dream took the banknotes from the hand of Horned Demon while trembling. He was half restless and half excited. 12,000 taels, this price had far exceeded his expectation. Originally, he had thought that if he could sell this paper at several hundred taels, then he would laugh up his sleeve. But Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t spoken wrongly, this slip of paper was very valuable. Most people would not understand, but there will always be few discerning people. With banknotes in his hand, fatty as if hiding a hot potato, bowed and walked away. He wanted to quickly leave this place now so as to avoid troubles that may arise due to a long delay. But just after he had walked few steps, Horned Demon¡¯s burly figure instantly appeared in front of them, frightening fatty. ¡°Wait a bit, youngster, do you still have this kind of talisman?¡± Horned Demon looked at fatty with scorching hot eyes. This graffiti scribbled casually by Ye Chuan appeared useless for an average person, but discerning people would know that this was a kind of very powerful talisman with a single glance. This could be used to attack, and it had another great use for some people! ¡°No, just this one.¡± Fatty shook his head, and turning around, when he wanted to walk away, Horned Demon again blocked him. This Horned Demon had a burly body, and looked like a mountain, but his speed was strangely fast. There were a lot of experts among the onlookers, but not even a dozen of them saw his movements clearly. Everyone was surprised in their heart. ¡°Where did you obtain this talisman?¡± Horned Demon continued to question closely. As if the ghost lingering around, now fatty was even more nervous and restless. ¡°Picked up, I accidentally picked up in the wild.¡± Fatty nervous heart quickly jumped, and again turning around, as if running for life, he hurriedly walked away. Fortunately, this time, this Horned Demon didn¡¯t block his way. Merely, after fatty disappeared at the end of the underground passage, this Horned Demon also disappeared suddenly. Just like that, he disappeared on the blackened side of the wall without a trace. The skill used by him was similar to the earth style technique of the Five Style Sect, but was more brilliant. It didn¡¯t leave any traces and energy fluctuation. ¡°Powerful, who was that black robed person?¡± ¡°Strange, that paper with child scribble was a talisman, how come I didn¡¯t notice it?¡± Underground Ghost Market seethed with excitement. After Horned Demon with threatening aura was gone, people relaxed and talked with each other. All day long, Exploiter Hu who flaunted himself as having sharp eyes and no treasure would escape from his eyes was in a daze. Standing alone in the dark, he muttered, ¡°Ghost Talisman? Could it be that it truly was long lost Ghost Talisman¡­¡­¡± Exploiter Hu who pulled a long face all day long as if everyone owed him 300 taels of silver in former days, now for the first time, stood motionless for a long time, and didn¡¯t take advantage of many people and also didn¡¯t care about his stall at all. More than 10 meters away, that middle-aged loose cultivator was beating his chest and stamping his feet, and was endlessly regretting. That slip of paper of fatty, he was the first person in the underground Ghost Market to show interest to it, and was even earlier than that Horned Demon. Regrettably, he had eyes but didn¡¯t see, and just like this, he let this chance slip in vain. At that time, if he had haggled a little with fatty, then perhaps he could have bought that paper in several hundred or so taels of silvers, then selling again, he could have made a profit of more than 10,000 taels of silvers! It was a tragedy to cultivate for a lifetime, but not having a protective treasure. And what was even more tragedy was, there was a lot of treasure in front of you which was extremely easy to obtain, but let them slip by being unable to discern them! In the underground Ghost Market, everyone was discussing this matter. And above the ground, fatty however was running wildly, as if a bird that starts at the mere twang of a bow, he was desperately running towards Cloud Mist Sect. He turned his head to take a look, he saw nothing behind, but fatty always had a feeling as if someone was staring at him, and even after going all out, he was unable to shake him off. It¡¯s that Horned Demon! He is secretly following me! Sweating profusely, fatty felt unprecedented fear. Chapter 67: Senior apprentice-brother, I love you to death Chapter 67: Senior apprentice-brother, I love you to death Fatty Zhao Dazhi ran faster and faster, exhausting all the strength in his body, and his body was completely drenched with sweat. But, everything was in vain. After rushing out from the underground Ghost Market, he had already run more than 10 li, but that feeling of being followed not only didn¡¯t disappeared, instead became more and more strong, even to the extent that now he could faintly hear the sound of footsteps, which was getting nearer and nearer. Fatty again turned back, sure enough, that burly figured Horned Demon was not urgently and not slowly chasing after him. ¡°Youngster, why are you running so fast? Am I so terrifying? Gagagaga¡­¡­¡± The voice of Horned Demon drifted through the air. And just like a rigid corpse, he was hopping after fatty. Although his movement appeared somewhat comical, but his speed however was very fast. In the underground Ghost Market, this Horned Demon Na Gusi had acted very cautiously, in order to avoid exposing his identity. But here in this uninhabited wilderness, he didn¡¯t have any misgivings. The Ghost Talisman sold by fatty Zhao Dazhi, it didn¡¯t have any big use for common people, but for those Demonic cultivators, it was a priceless treasure. It could be used for refining yao beasts¡¯ spirit, resolving the heart demon which was caused by forcibly fusing with yao beasts. This time around, Na Gusi had heard that an ancient Paradise Realm was discovered in Cloud Mist mountain range, so he had quietly come to see what exactly was the case. But unexpectedly, although he discovered nothing about this Paradise Realm, he accidentally found a long lost Ghost Talisman. Recently, he had forcibly refined a Horned Dinosaur, so his body was often unwell, his legs were stiff and blood was clotted. As a result, even walking was very difficult, that¡¯s why he was hopping. And when he was confronting the backlash of Horned Dinosaur¡¯s spirit, he just happened to find this Ghost Talisman! So no need to talk about 10,000 taels of silvers, he would have paid even ten times that amount if needed. ¡°I don¡¯t have any more talisman, I only had that one, don¡¯t¡­¡­, don¡¯t chase me!¡± Turning around and looking at Horned Demon chasing after him, fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s heart trembled and he knew that this situation was anything but reassuring, then he desperately ran like mad towards the direction of Cloud Mist Sect. Suddenly, he understood that he had made a fatal mistake under panic. He shouldn¡¯t have immediately left the underground Ghost Market, instead should have stayed there, seeking the help of sect¡¯s expert guarding in the underground Ghost Market. If Big Senior Apprentice-Brother was in his place, then he would have definitely not made such mistake. Now, what should he do? While running, fatty was feeling around his body, but other than those piles of banknotes, he didn¡¯t find any message talisman in his body. Now, in such a crucial moment, in the vast desolated wilderness, he had no way to contact sect to ask for help. Turning around to see, he saw Horned Demon Na Gusi was getting nearer and nearer, and fatty was so nervous that his heart was jumping rapidly. Now, he realized that he had one foot in the grave. At this time, he didn¡¯t think about Sect Master, rather Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan. He was also thinking from the different perspective, if Ye Chuan was in such dangerous situation, then how would he deal with it? In the period of time he had stayed beside Ye Chuan, not only Fatty Zhao Dazhi had obtained Marrow Cleansing Pill from him to breakthrough to Xiushi realm, he had also learned to be calm from Ye Chuan. The more dangerous the situation, the calmer he needed to be. With the distance between him and fatty shortening, Horned Demon Na Gusi laughed heartily in his strange voice. Just like a cat that caught the mouse, he leisurely chased after fatty, waiting for the moment when the fatty would be exhausted completely. But, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong. Desperately running fatty suddenly changed his fleeing pattern. He no longer stubbornly ran in a linear line, rather ran in a zigzag pattern. This caused difficulties for Horned Demon Na Gusi to change the direction who could only hop to chase after him, slowing down his speed, and fatty began to slowly open up the distance between them. The fatty, who had calmed down, thought of the ways to throw off the pursuer, and gathering his courage, he took turn after turn while running. And it turned out this method was really effective! ¡°Humph, want to run?¡± Horned Demon Na Gusi coldly snorted, then his dark red eyes flashed with pallid light, and he no longer played around with fatty, he suddenly exerted strength on the ground and jumped. He jumped more than 10 meters with such single jump, instantly increasing his speed. In a blink of an eye, he was already behind the fatty and stretched out his hand to catch him, ¡°Boy, hand over all the talismans you have, otherwise, I will let you experience the feeling of death is better than life!¡± Turning around his head and seeing Horned Demon instantly jumping behind him, fatty was scared out of his wits. And when he wanted to speed up to escape, his both legs however softened. Moreover, under the panic, he mistakenly stepped on a smooth stone and fell over to the ground, coincidently dodging the hand of Horned Demon. Riiip, Horned Demon Na Gusi¡¯s attack missed, he wasn¡¯t able to grab fatty, merely tore the clothing of fatty. ¡°Help me, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, save me ah¡­¡­¡± Fatty immediately got up and desperately ran again. Now his mind was almost blank, and just cried out for help subconsciously. ¡°Gagaga, boy, don¡¯t waste your time, gagaga¡­¡­¡± Horned Demon Na Gusi laughed, then exerting pressure to the ground, he jumped again, then he palmed towards fatty. Although he had already spent a lot of silvers to buy a Ghost Talisman, but for him, this single one was far from enough. Even if he settled the demon heart of this time with the help of Ghost Talisman, but next time, after refining another yao beast he would again have the same kind of problem. It was really not easy to encounter long lost Ghost Talisman, so he naturally wanted to trace back the origin of it, and want to know how this fatty found this Ghost Talisman? Moreover, he wanted to see whether this fatty has more Ghost Talisman or not too. A fierce wind suddenly swept past the wilderness. And before fatty could take several steps, his body was suddenly sent flying, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then looking at Horned Demon Na Gusi coming towards him, he struggled to stand up to continue to escape, but with burning pain in his back, he wasn¡¯t able to stand up. ¡°Boy, if I said you can¡¯t run, then you can¡¯t, and nobody can save you too, gagaga¡­¡­¡± Demon Horned Na Gusi slowly walked towards fatty. And when he was considering this fatty would surely die, his laughter ceased abruptly, and he suddenly turned around. A pallid light suddenly appeared in front of Horned Demon Na Gusi which was accompanied by a bone-piercing chill. That was a sword, a sword emitting sharp sword qi! Horned Demon Na Gusi punched out, and his fist collided with this sword, unexpectedly issuing a metal colliding like sound. The ferocious impact gave rise to the smoke, dust and fallen leaves. After the smoke, dust and fallen leaves dissipated, there was no one in front of him, and the fatty behind him had also disappeared. And after spreading out his divine sense, he saw a little black dot in a distance place, and it was getting farther and farther, towards the direction of Cloud Mist Sect. In imminent peril, Nan Tiandu had arrived in the brink of time, saving fatty who had thought that he would certainly die, then carrying fatty on his back, he ran like mad. ¡°Senior apprentice-brother Tiandu, is that you?¡± Fatty who was still badly shaken found his current situation hard to believe. Nan Tiandu was a rare genius, and he was indifferent to all the matters, but to his surprise, the person who had rescued him was unexpectedly Nan Tiandu who didn¡¯t have any relation to him. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother sent me to pick you up.¡± Nan Tiandu answered coldly, then became silent. Even though he was carrying overweight fatty, his speed however wasn¡¯t any slower, and the more he ran the faster he was. Now holding a sharp sword dazzling with pallid light with his right hand, he was expressionless as if nothing had happened, merely his right arm was lightly trembling, and blood was dripping. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-brother really is Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty choked with sobs, and suddenly cried with tears streaming down his cheeks, soaking the robe of Nan Tiandu. Within so many years he had joined Cloud Mist Sect, he was cursed, beaten, ignored and ordered around by people, but no one had ever cared for him like this. Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t speak, and coldly letting fatty choke with sobs by himself, he continued to rush forward as if a never tiring horse. Now the Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s entrance was already visible on the horizon. Behind two people, now the complexion of Horned Demon Na Gusi became cloudy, and hesitating for a little while, he gave up. Then watching until Nan Tiandu and fatty Zhao Dazhi disappearing inside the entrance of the Cloud Mist Sect, he turned around and left angrily. Although Cloud Mist Sect was steadily deteriorating, but it after all was an ancient lineage sect, and its actual strength was far from what was seen on the surface. Even if he was ferocious, and also aspired to obtain even more talismans, but Na Gusi also didn¡¯t dare to easily charge in. Chapter 68: Who is fisher, who is bait? Chapter 68: Who is fisher, who is bait? After returning to Cloud Mist Sect, still badly shaken fatty Zhao Dazhi went straight to Purple Cloud Peak, wanting to thank Ye Chuan. Now, he was feeling that he couldn¡¯t thank Ye Chuan enough. This time, he felt as if he had one leg in his grave. He truly was in the life and death situation. And it was Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan who predicted like a prophet to send someone to pull him out from his grave, again saving his life. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I am back, I¡­¡­¡± Seeing Ye Chuan, fatty immediately knelt down, and cried bitterly form the bottom of his heart. He was so touched that he simply was unable to express in words. Formerly, fatty basically didn¡¯t attach any importance to this Big Senior Apprentice-brother like every other disciples, but now, he was dead set on following Ye Chuan throughout his life. Unfortunately, he was a man, otherwise, he would have truly pledged to marry him. ¡°It¡¯s good that you returned back.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, then sizing fatty up, he said with a smile yet not a smile, ¡°How was it, fatty, was I, senior apprentice-brother deceiving you?¡± ¡°No.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi hastily shook his head. Before he had never thought that such a slip of paper with casual graffiti could be sold at such exorbitant price, this was simply incredible. Now fatty incomparably admired Ye Chuan. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what was that slip of paper? And¡­¡­¡± Touching the banknotes in his bosom, the eyes of fatty shone. A slip of paper that could be drawn casually sold for 12,000 taels of silvers, if several hundreds of them were drawn in a day, then wouldn¡¯t¡­¡­ After his life was saved, fatty began thinking about more silvers, expecting to gain even more. ¡°That was a talisman, not a slip of paper, I only had one, now there is none.¡± Ye Chuan said. He understood what fatty was thinking. Now his complexion was somewhat pale, as his vitality was far from complete recovery. And just when fatty wanted to say something, he interrupted him and said indifferently: ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate that talisman, it looked very easy, but in fact, refining that talisman consumes a lot of vitality. Fatty, remember senior apprentice-brother¡¯s words, never think that anything you want to do can be achieved without any effort, you must make great efforts to achieve them.¡± ¡°Many thanks, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother for giving me a direction, junior apprentice-brother will bear them in my mind.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi nodded his head and bowed, accepting the guidance of Ye Chuan. Now all of his doubts were cleared without a trace. Yes, Ye Chuan spoke the truth, if one wants to successfully stand out among one¡¯s peers, then he must work harder than anyone else! Now the reputation of Ye Chuan was rising, but what people ignored was, who among them knew his former low-keyed quiet cultivation days? Fatty was cowardly and rude, but he wasn¡¯t stupid, he engraved these words of Ye Chuan in his heart. ¡°Fatty, you say, that talisman was bought by a Horned Demon?¡± Ye Chuan asked. His tone was flat as if he was casually asking, but his face however was a little solemn which couldn¡¯t be perceived by ordinary people. Fatty nodded his head and recalling that still lingering fear, he said: ¡°Yes, that person was nearly three meters in height and was extremely swift and fierce. And the crucial point is, he had a pair of horns on his head. Although he was sparing no effort to suppress, but his body still carried a trace of yao qi. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, he was absolutely a Great Devil of Demonic path. He called himself Na Gusi, and didn¡¯t seem to be a person of Da Qin Dynasty. If senior apprentice-brother Tiandu was even a little bit late, then I wouldn¡¯t have been here, seeing you. That fellow chased us all the way to the entrance gate of our Cloud Mist Sect and only then, he gave up unwillingly. He was audacious to the extreme!¡± Recalling the chase of Horned Demon Na Gusi, the fat meat of fatty still trembled, trembled with terror. ¡°Na Gusi?¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and then said: ¡°Hereafter, when going out, be more careful. Okay, it¡¯s almost the time, we shouldn¡¯t make Jiajia and others wait for a long time, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan stood up, then instructing Flame Devil whose vitality was greatly injured to stay behind and take care of things in Purple Cloud Peak, he commanded Nan Tiandu and fatty to follow him, then left. At the entrance gate, Zhu Sijia, Yi Suo and one protector surnamed Yang were already waiting for a long time. After the entire group of people met, they left the sect, and went straight towards Eagle Beak Cliff which was more than 100 li away. That place had an ancient life and death arena, and it stood tall just beside the cliff. For many years, Cloud Mist Sect, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect had been using this place to settle the dispute. In this Great Competition, scarcely anyone expected Cloud Mist Sect to win. Although Ye Chuan was impressive in this period of time, and successfully made a breakthrough in succession in his cultivation, but he was still at Wuzhe realm, and was also the weakest among the Big Disciples of three large sects. If there was no accident, then Cloud Mist Sect was already set to be last in this Great Competition, or would even lose very miserably. This Great Competition had always been a great event of three large sects. It was held only once every three years. So in truth, when going to this battle, at least one elder should have led the group to provide support, but among the five elders, none of them was willing to lead this team. Great Elder hated iron for not becoming steel, and he also needed to guard sect, so it was unsuitable for him to leave. Second Elder Nangong Ren only had his medicinal herbs in his eyes. No need to mention about Third Elder Bai Yanhu, the more miserably Ye Chuan loses, the better for him. In the end, a protector had to toughen his scalp and lead this team. And throughout the journey, he never had a good complexion, and was cursing his bad luck. Ye Chuan completely ignored the attitude of Protector Yang. All along the road, he was leisurely and carefree, moreover, he often teased Zhu Sijia who was wearing the battle dress, as if he was going on a scenic tour. He looked as if he basically didn¡¯t care about the impending Great Competition, and in turn, heavy-hearted Zhu Sijia was extremely angry seeing this. After Ye Chuan¡¯s traveling group left, an eagle-nosed middle-aged man quietly left the sect. He disguised himself at the foot of the mountain, and put on a mask, then ran towards the direction of Ye Chuan¡¯s group. Although Yi Suo was already instructed how to act, but Jin Zhikun was still unable to be at ease, and regardless of his Alchemy Hall Master status, he took up the matter himself. Third Elder wanted Ye Chuan¡¯s Big Disciple position, and find someone to replace him, taking the control over Cloud Mist Sect, but he, Jin Zhikun wanted the life of Ye Chuan! His son Jin Hua was killed, and if he didn¡¯t kill Ye Chuan, then he would be unable to raise his head inside the sect forever! Jin Zhikun was very experience in concealing his track, and he was different from normal cultivator too. He didn¡¯t take out any flying sword, he just ran as if the wind, chasing after the group of Ye Chuan. Just like a cold viper, he tailed behind them, looking for an opportunity. He concealed himself without any trace, but at the critical moment, he would deal a fatal damage. Ye Chuan was relaxed throughout the journey, he seemed entirely unaware of the danger behind. Jin Zhikun who was hidden behind them considered that no one had perceived him, but, behind him, another figure was following. Horned Demon Na Gusi hadn¡¯t gone far away, he was continuously wandering outside the Cloud Mist Sect secretly. Just like hard work won¡¯t let you down, an opportunity came once again, and now he was hopping behind Jin Zhikun. It seems, his body was still not fully recovered from stiffness, but his energy fluctuation was more powerful compared to before. After using that Ghost Talisman he had obtained in underground Ghost Market, Na Gusi felt his body much better all of a sudden, so now, he was seeking such talisman as if starving. If fatty Zhao Dazhi had continuously hidden inside the Cloud Mist Sect, then he truly could do nothing about it, as he didn¡¯t dare to recklessly storm into the sect. But, now that fatty had come out from the sect, his chance had come. Moreover, looking at Ye Chuan, he vaguely felt a peculiar aura in his body. That kind of aura, he had only felt several thousand years ago from the body of Talisman Alchemist Master. Chapter 69: You are not that skilled Chapter 69: You are not that skilled Only at dusk, Ye Chuan and his traveling group finally arrived at the Eagle Beak Cliff without any problem. But the people of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were already present here. No matter whether Black Cauldron Sect or Five Style Sect, their campsites covered a large area. Other than participating seven elite disciples, there were a large number of guards and servants, even to the extent that even Sect Master had come personally. And the bustling scene of these sects was very grand. But compared to these two sects, Cloud Mist Sect was truly too simple and too shabby and miserable. Altogether, there were only eight people, not enough to be even a fraction of other two sects. ¡°Let through, let through¡­¡­¡± Several burly fellows suddenly shouted at the top of their voice, and while carrying heavy bronze cauldron, they came straight towards Ye Chuan and his traveling group. A small cauldron was embroidered on the cuff of every one of them, so they should be the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect. Just feeling the powerful energy fluctuation of their body, all of them should be powerful elite disciples. The bronze cauldron they were carrying was also unusual, it was completely cyan in color, as if it was a huge piece of cyan jade. Even those eight sturdy men were having a hard time to lift that single cauldron. It seems, compared to that bronze cauldron of Old Monster Tong Bi, it was even heavier, having several tens of thousands jin weight. Ye Chuan gave a meaningful glance, then the entire group moved sideways, making the way for them. Eagle Beak Cliff was very tall. Below the half of this cliff, it was always enveloped with clouds and mists throughout the year, and very strong, bone-piercingly cold wind blew in the summit of this mountain. If a person was careless, then this wind could blow them away. Moreover, the mountain path was so narrow that it was hard for even two people to walk side by side, and on one side of this path, there was an unfathomable cliff, if someone was knocked down, then others absolutely wouldn¡¯t be able to find even their bones. ¡°Let through, let through¡­¡­¡± The leader burly man loudly yelled, and while brushing past, he suddenly staggered losing his balance, then suddenly fell towards Ye Chuan. The body of this fellow was burly as if a barbarian bull, and if he collides with Ye Chuan, then his ribs would definitely break, moreover, he might fall down the cliff too. Fatty, Zhu Sijia and others screamed, but the leader burly man who was about to collide head on with Ye Chuan sneered. It really wasn¡¯t an accident, rather was deliberate, deliberately wanting to give Ye Chuan an initial show of their strength. With the distance between them being so short, this truly was only a collision without any tricks. The Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t even broken through to Xiushi realm, who don¡¯t know this? So sending him flying with a collision, wasn¡¯t this super easy to do? The eyes of Yi Suo standing beside Ye Chuan suddenly flashed. His right hand subconsciously moved, while secretly hesitating whether to help this burly man of Black Cauldron Sect or not, so as to kill Ye Chuan using him. ¡°Brother, watch out!¡± Sharp eyed Ye Chuan used his hand to support the shoulder of this burly man, then intentionally or unintentionally turn towards Yi Suo beside him, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth showing a smile yet not a smile. This leader burly man, when he was just a paper distance away from the chest of Ye Chuan, his shoulder was stopped by the big hand of Ye Chuan, and was no longer able to advance forward. Immediately after that, Ye Chuan lightly pressed down, then boundless strength suddenly came though, and this leader burly man unexpectedly bent over and involuntarily went down on his knees, resulting in other seven burly men to lose their balance. And that heavy bronze cauldron they were carrying on their shoulder slid off, then scratching the scalp of that leader burly man, it tumbled down that unfathomable cliff of one side. All the people on the Eagle Beak Cliff including those several burly men raised their head to look with nervous complexion. Especially the forehead of this leader burly man was sweating profusely, and was badly shaken. Just now, if there was even a little bit of difference, then even the people would have tumbled down with that bronze cauldron! Fatty, Zhu Sijia and other people relaxed, however the eyes of Yi Suo was gloomy, then looking at Ye Chuan, he snorted secretly. ¡°Brother, are you alright?¡± Ye Chuan with innocent as well as frightened expression took a deep breath and continued: ¡°Fortunately, everybody is all right. That really scared me to death, all of us nearly fell down the cliff.¡± ¡°You¡­¡­, it¡¯s you¡­¡­¡± The leader burly man stared at Ye Chuan, but at this time, his reaction was very slow. He knew that Ye Chaun had intentionally used a trick, but his two legs were still shivering. Now, even though his mind clearly understood what was going on, he didn¡¯t dare to do anything. Just a moment ago, the strength coming from the hand of Ye Chuan was unimaginable, and if Ye Chuan casually pushed him and he fell down the cliff, then wouldn¡¯t that just be dying unjustly. ¡°How are you thinking of retrieving that bronze cauldron from the bottom of the cliff? Do you want my help? Please don¡¯t hesitate to ask if there is anything you need.¡± Ye Chuan smiled. This smile of Ye Chuan looked harmless, but seeing this smile of Ye Chuan, the leader burly man began to sweat profusely again. He didn¡¯t dare to speak anymore, he just returned back dejected to their camp with other disciples of Black Cauldron Sect. their complexion was very ugly. Not far away, standing in the middle of the crowd, the complexion of Big Disciple of Black Cauldron Sect, Hong Lie was even uglier compared to anyone else. That bronze cauldron that had fallen down the cliff was sect guarding treasure, and also a symbol of Black Cauldron Sect. This time, it was brought here from Black Cauldron Sect with great difficulty, wanting to show off the strength of Black Cauldron Sect in this camping ground. But seeing the figure of Ye Chuan and his traveling group, on a whim, Hong Lie, with his status of Big Disciple, secretly instructed these bronze cauldron carrying disciples to make fun of Ye Chuan, so that Ye Chuan would make a fool out of himself in front of the disciples of three sects. But he had never thought that, not only would he be unable to make fun of Ye Chuan, but would also lose that bronze cauldron. These several burly disciples knew that they were in big trouble, they wouldn¡¯t be able to hide this matter for a long time, so even Hong Lie was also worried, and his complexion was also ghastly pale. This was just like giving his enemy a wife and losing soldiers to the enemy as well. ¡°Noble son Hong, we meet again, I trust you have been well since we parted.¡± Ye Chuan directly walked over to Hong Lie, then smiling as if he was meeting an old friend who he had not met for many days, he looked all around for a while and continued to speak: ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right, my wife Xiaoniao, where is she?¡± The first half of Ye Chuan¡¯s words were very nice, but the latter half however caused people to vomit blood. Hong Lie was so angry that his face turned red, then looking at Ye Chuan, he gnashed his teeth. Inside Black Cauldron Sect, who didn¡¯t know he secretly like Tuoba Xiaoniao, even Sect Master Tuoba Xiong had a mind to marry his golden daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao with him. Still, Ye Chuan shouting like this in public, wasn¡¯t this slapping in his face? From inside the brand-new tent, just after tall and attractive Tuoba Xiaoniao lifted the curtain of her tent and come out, she happened to hear the words of Ye Chuan, then stamping her legs, she hastily withdrew inside her tent again. Now she was too embarrassed to come out. With regarding Ye Chuan, she naturally was gnashing her teeth, and she also had a bellyful of complaints and discontent towards her father, Tuoba Xiong. At that time, to humiliate Cloud Mist Sect, they had looked for Big Bird to pretend to be her, resulting in the current circumstance. This truly was crushing one¡¯s own foot while trying to maneuver a rock. ¡°Brat, fight with me!¡± The eyes of Hong Lie became bright red, then pulling out the sword from his back, his killing intent rose to the skies. The more on-looking people there were, the more he lost control of his feeling from embarrassment. He wanted to humiliate other people, but he wasn¡¯t successful, on the contrary, he himself was humiliated. So this time, although he had already made up his mind to kill Ye Chuan in the Great Competition, this moment he wasn¡¯t able to wait any longer, was already very impatient. ¡°You? You are not my opponent, if you want to fight me, then first defeat my these junior apprentice-brothers and sister in the life and death arena first. Let us through, we want to pitch a camp first, then entertain my wife Xiaoniao at night.¡± Hong Lie was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Ye Chuan nevertheless completely ignored him, and led fatty and others in all smiles to one side to pitch a camp. Behind, Hong Lie was so angry was that his face twisted. He wanted to rush up and stab his sword into the back of Ye Chuan, but an elder of Black Cauldron Sect hinted him to stop, so he had no choice but to endure. In life and death arena, three sect¡¯s disciples could go all out and even kill the opponents, but outside the arena, it was strictly forbidden to have any personal fight. This was the rule of every Great Competition. ¡°Brat, I¡¯ll definitely kill you tomorrow!¡± The chest of Hong Lie rise and fall rapidly, forcibly enduring the anger of his heart. ¡°I will keep you company until the end, but, you cannot kill me, as you still don¡¯t have that ability.¡± Ye Chuan turned around and indifferently said, looking at Hong Lie. Then continued to pitch a camp, simply didn¡¯t take the latter seriously. His cultivation was clearly not up to much, but persistently pretending to be a peerless expert as well as pretending to not lowering himself to the level of Hong Lie, the on-looking people shook their head as they thought. If one doesn¡¯t have strength, then he should be low-keyed, but Ye Chuan was different, he instead was high-keyed. Moreover mentioning the pot that doesn¡¯t boil, he directly provoked a Big Disciple of the sect, Hong Lie, and he didn¡¯t even give any face to the latter, was he fearless because he had a trump card, or just was plain stupid? [Mentioning the pot that doesn¡¯t boil=talking about weak point] People wondered in their heart, and were a little confused. Hong Lie became even angrier, and his eyes became red through and through, looking as if a yao beast that was about to go insane. Tomorrow¡¯s Great Competition, it seems it wouldn¡¯t end without death! People thought in their heart. Now fatty Zhao Dazhi, Zhu Sijia and others were deeply worried, but Yi Suo¡¯s gaze was ice-cold. Then looking at one outer sect disciples not far away who was busy warming the wine, a sinister smile appeared on his face. Chapter 70: If not played dirty, then it’s abnormal Chapter 70: If not played dirty, then it¡¯s abnormal Night, just like a huge black pot, quickly loomed over. The action of Ye Chuan of selecting two handyman disciples who had just joined the sect as the participant of this Great Competition was beyond the expectation of everybody. This action had also disappointed everyone and also made people hate iron for not becoming steel. However, the advantages of bringing along these two handyman disciples were quickly unfolding. The condition of Eagle Beak Cliff was very poor, but these two handyman disciples were able to all odd jobs, and didn¡¯t have a problem living in such poor place. Ye Chuan stood at a high place, and silently looked at the Eagle Beak Peak shrouded by the dim light of night. The terrain of Eagle Beak Peak was very steep, and only its summit had a little bit flat place, but all of them were already occupied by Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect who had arrived first, leaving cloud Mist Sect only a bare slope. Although this place was not good for camping, but the place was also the highest place, and standing at this place, one could overlook the entire summit. Don¡¯t know when, but Zhu Sijia had already draped over a cloak, and with her red outfit, and similarly red cloak, she was especially conspicuous in the night. She quickly came over to the side of Ye Chuan like a fire fox, then straightly said: ¡°Ye Chuan, I feel that Yi Suo is fishy. He is the personal disciple of Third Elder, moreover, just after he came back to the sect from outside travel, he got into a conflict with you. But, you still brought him to participate in this Great Competition, aren¡¯t you afraid of him secretly playing a dirty trick?¡± An almost inaudible rustling sound came from the direction of the camping ground. Someone seemed to have quietly followed after Zhu Sijia. Who was walking quietly on tiptoe like this? Ye Chuan thought in his heart while coldly laughing, and without even looking towards the origin of that sound, he leisurely answered to Zhu Sijia: ¡°No need to fear, that was merely a small personal enmity, not worth mentioning. Great Competition is a major event for our sect, junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo also knows what to do now. Jiajia, rest assured, junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo isn¡¯t that kind of person as you say.¡± The person who was covertly eavesdropping, other than Yi Suo, who else could it be? Ye Chuan didn¡¯t think much about it. And he deliberately didn¡¯t reveal him, moreover, he spoke in a loud voice making sure that the hidden Yi Suo also heard his words. He wanted to see what kind of trick Yi Suo would play next. ¡°Humph, idiot, don¡¯t blame me for not warning you at that time!¡± Zhu Sijia stomped her leg, then angrily walked away. In Cloud Mist Hall, she had already warned Ye Chuan once, and this was the second time, but there will be no third time! ¡°This idiot! If you don¡¯t die, then who would die? Like this, I will become Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Yi Suo sneered, then quietly return back the same way. Two handyman disciples, not only quickly prepared the campsite, before long, they were already serving the meal, including a big jar of steaming hot warm wine. ¡°Come, come, come, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, junior apprentice-brothers and sister, drink wine.¡± Perhaps because he was crossing a river in the same boat, and wanted to confront the pressure of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect together, Yi Suo who was always cold in former days enthusiastically took the initiative to pour wine to everyone. ¡°Good fragrance, this is¡­¡­, Hundred Grain Wine which is stored underground for hundred years!¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi inhaled the fragrance of this wine and saliva quickly flowed out from his mouth. And he became the first person to raise the wine cup served by Yi Suo. And just when he wanted to empty the glass at one gulp, he cried ¡®aiyo¡¯, as Zhu Sijia hit his wrist with her chopsticks. Then seeing the glaring face of Zhu Sijia, he had no choice but to endure and suppress the temptation of this wine. But his Adam¡¯s apple was moving up and down, while continuously swallowing the saliva. Zhu Sijia snorted, and her complexion wasn¡¯t good. Yi Suo actually took the initiative to serve wine to other people, this was too unusual, so her first thought was, this wine was poisoned. Although this wine was aromatic, but drinking it, perhaps they might not be able to see the sun of tomorrow. ¡°Come, come, come, I will drink first.¡± Yi Suo looked at Zhu Sijia, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes, then holding the wine cup, he emptied the cup at one gulp. After that, he placed wine cups in front of everyone and poured wine in his empty cup again. And even after drinking a few cups of wine, his energy fluctuation was as usual, and there didn¡¯t seem to be any discomfort too. Zhu Shijia was somewhat doubtful, and confusedly stared at this unusual Yi Suo. As for Ye Chuan, he was calm and collected on the surface, but inwardly, he was also somewhat surprised. Yi Suo, this kid will not be honest for nothing. For this Great Competition, Third Elder, Jin Zhikun and him, they definitely have a shady conspiracy. So secretly playing a dirty trick was definitely normal, but if not played a dirty trick, then it was abnormal! Originally, Ye Chuan had also thought that Yi Suo had poisoned the wine, but seeing it was not the case, he couldn¡¯t help feeling slightly strange in his heart. ¡°Come, Big senior apprentice-brother, junior apprentice-brothers and sister, drink!¡± Yi Suo again urged people to drink the wine, and straightforwardly emptied a cup of wine at one gulp again. Fatty was already unable to bear long ago, so quietly looking at Zhu Sijia, he held the cup of wine, and emptied it at one gulp, then began to empty one cup of wine after another. Ye Chuan also pick up the wine cup, then the alae of his nose lightly moved, he smelled a hint of faint and indistinct unusually sweet smell among the thick fragrance of wine. After that, he turned the wine cup without letting anyone notice, and sure enough, he found a very faint finger print on the wine cup. Afterward, closing his eyes, several tens of thousands kind of poison emerged in his mind and very quickly, he understood what that unusually sweet smelling thing was. Come on, this boy really is fishy! Ye Chuan coldly smiled, then intentionally or unintentionally looking at Yi Suo, he didn¡¯t reveal it, instead he drank few cups of wine. Under the persuasion of Yi Suo, all people raised their wine cup in succession. And seeing Ye Chuan had also drunk, Zhu Sijia had to put down the doubts of her heart, and drink the wine. ¡°Hahaha, Big senior apprentice-brother, this cup is my toast to you.¡± Yi Suo laughed heartily, frequently toasting with Ye Chuan with a smile all over his face. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t refuse his offer, and just drank with a smile. Now, Yi Suo was smiling, but Ye Chuan¡¯s smile was even more brilliant. After having drunk and eaten to their heart content, the entire group of people quickly fell asleep or cultivated quietly. The Great Competition would begin from tomorrow morning, so they took this chance to conserve strength and store up energy. Very quickly, the snoring sound of fatty Zhao Dazhi resounded in the ears of the people. After getting drunk, he was totally absorbed in sleeping. But not long after, fatty woke up with rumbling stomach, then covering his stomach, he ran out. And after returning back, when he had just lied down and before he could even cover himself with his quilt, he ran out again. This scene repeated many times. ¡°Damned fatty, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Tomorrow is Great Competition, but you are still not letting other people rest.¡± The entire group of people was woken up by fatty, and every one of them cursed him roundly. But very soon, no one opened their mouth to curse, and their complexion changed in succession, then just like fatty, they also covered their stomach and ran out. Even Zhu Sijia was the same. Inside the tent, she endured for a good while, but she was still forced to cover her stomach and run out. When she came back, she happens to encounter fatty with weakened legs. Poor fatty, within half an incense stick burning time, he had run a round trip for seven or eight times. Now his legs were exhausted and he was staggering while walking. Among the entire group of eight people, even Protector Yang who had come here half-heartedly wasn¡¯t spared, only the tent of Ye Chuan was very quiet without any movement till now. ¡°Yi Suo, it is definitely Yi Suo, that fellow secretly mixed poison in the wine!¡± Zhu Sijia bit her lower lip, hating that treacherous and despicable Yi Suo, but now she hated Ye Chuan even more. If he had listened to her, then they wouldn¡¯t have fallen into his trap. ¡°Impossible, Yi Suo, he¡­¡­, isn¡¯t he afraid of us losing, losing in a total mess in Great Competition?¡± Fatty didn¡¯t dare to believe this. ¡°That is exactly what he wants, that fellow wants all of to lose here, want us all dead here!¡± Zhu Sijia burned with anger, then burst into the tent of Ye Chuan, wanting to criticize violently and also to see how he wind up. Behind, fatty hesitated, then he followed her inside. Everyone was poisoned, and Nan Tiandu was also no exception. Suffering from diarrhea, he didn¡¯t even have enough strength to walk, so how could he battle in the Great Competition of tomorrow? Just before going to the battle, if they shrink back, then all of them would become a joke, and would even implicate all the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, moreover, they wouldn¡¯t be able to raise their head when they went outside afterwards. But, they didn¡¯t even have a strength to walk properly, so if they want to forcibly participate in the Great Competition, wouldn¡¯t that just be a moth darting into a flame? Drunk fatty became clear headed all of a sudden, and turned pale. Chapter 71: Junior apprentice-brother cause you great inconvenience Chapter 71: Junior apprentice-brother cause you great inconvenience Zhu Sijia always did things quickly. Regardless of whether Ye Chuan was in cultivation or sleep, she opened the curtain of his tent and went inside. And just after she placed her one leg inside the tent, she immediately screamed. Inside the tent, Ye Chuan was sitting cross-legged, but his whole body was bare, practically wearing nothing. This didn¡¯t resemble sleeping, rather resembled cultivating evil arts. ¡°Bastard, rogue, what are you doing?¡± Zhu Sijia was both embarrassed and angry, blushing to her ears. She had come here wanting to criticize him violently, but who would have thought that Ye Chuan was unexpectedly dressed like this? This was too rogue and too outrageous! ¡°This is my room, so whatever I, senior apprentice-brother wants to do, I will do it, on the contrary, you, junior apprentice-sister Jiajia, why did you break in in the dead of the night? Can it be that your buttocks began itching again and wanted Big senior apprentice-brother to help you?¡± Ye Chuan opened his eyes and smiled evilly. The pretty face of Zhu Sijia who was both angry and embarrassed turned redder, and her towering chest began to rise and fall. This looked quite amorous. This girl who was energetic, unruly and shrewish in former days, now nevertheless was in a dilemma. She was unwilling to withdraw in just this fashion, but also was very embarrassed to continue walking forward. After a quick look at him, she only saw that Ye Chuan was wearing next to nothing, but she didn¡¯t see that, his body was emitting faint smoke from his body, and also the wet area of the ground. After returning back to his tent, Ye Chuan silently recited Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique, expelling the poison Yi Suo had mixed in the wine from the pores of his body. And very unfortunately, Zhu Sijia happened to come here just at that time. ¡°What did you say? You¡­¡­¡± The anger of Zhu Sijia reached the extreme point, then ferociously glaring at Ye Chuan, she gritted her teeth and walked over, wanting to teach him a good lesson. She was still brooding over Ye Chuan spanking her buttocks at that time until now, and was also angry as well as embarrassed. Ye Chuan not mentioning about it was fine, but now that he mentioned about it, she couldn¡¯t help but was even more vexed. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t come over here, I say, junior apprentice-sister Jiajia, did you really see?¡± Ye Chuan pretended to be frightened, and made an innocent appearance, but his face had an evil smile. ¡°Since ancient times, men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things, junior apprentice-sister, don¡¯t be like this, I am not a casual man, don¡¯t come. Junior apprentice-sister, slow down, in the dead of the night, what do you want to do?¡± ¡°What do I want to do? I want to kill you!¡± Zhu Sijia really couldn¡¯t endure, and began to speed up. It was obvious that Ye Chuan was the one that took cheap advantage, but listening to him speaking, it however seemed she was forcing herself to him! Zhu Sijia began to quicken her speed, emitting dense murderous intent. Now she had already forgotten about her real intention of criticizing Ye Chuan violently, and only wanted to teach him a lesson. ¡°Junior apprentice-sister, you tramped a cockroach to death.¡± Ye Chuan still sat crossed-legged on the ground, and looking at Zhu Sijia moving threateningly towards him, he suddenly said indifferently. Zhu Sijia lowered her head to look, then she immediately screamed. On the ground, where she had stopped, there were cockroaches! She had trampled one cockroach to death, and more than ten other cockroaches ran in panic. Carefully looking, on the other places, with a rustling sound, cockroaches were coming out from under a layer of soil, carpet and also the dark corners. Stamping one leg, she wonder how many cockroaches would be trampled to death and she herself get tainted by how many cockroaches¡¯ blood. What kind of tent is this? Even a garbage heap wouldn¡¯t have so many cockroaches! Zhu Shijia who feared cockroaches, snakes and rats from her childhood immediately screamed, and exerting strength on her toes, she instinctively jumped. Perhaps was subconscious or perhaps was too nervous, she happened to jump into the bosom of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan was also speechless, are small cockroaches this terrifying? These cockroaches were here due to him circulating his technique to expel out poison from his body. On one side, he circulated his technique to expel poison, and on the other side, he circulated Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique to play around, conveniently refining few little cockroaches. Unexpectedly, these small cockroaches, in the eyes of Zhu Sijia, were even more terrifying compared to him, this big living person. ¡°Quick, quickly drive out these cockroaches!¡± Zhu Shijia repeatedly urged. Ye Chuan shook her head, and a golden light suddenly flashed out from his body, as he had summoned Golden Cicada King. And under the aura of Golden Cicada King, all the cockroaches quickly fled out of the tent, but Zhu Shijia was still badly shaken. Seeing this, Ye Chuan shook his head again, then with an evil smile on his face, he said, ¡°Men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things, junior apprentice-sister Jiajia, senior apprentice-brother has never ever even touched a little hand of a girl before. But tonight, you have seen everywhere, moreover you hugged so intimately, you should take responsibility!¡± ¡°Pei, rogue!¡± Zhu Sijia came back to her sense and became both angry and embarrassed again. Now she was so embarrassed that she didn¡¯t want to stay inside this tent for even a moment, and just like a startled bunny rabbit, she ran away in panic. And as she was not paying attention, couple with her nervousness for a moment, she happened to knock down fatty to the ground who was standing outside the tent while eavesdropping. Thinking about the appearance of Ye Chuan which was practically not wearing any clothing, moreover, the time when she delivered herself into the bosom of Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia who was unruly and shrewish in former days was too ashamed to face anyone. Fatty Zhao Dazhi secretly cursed his bad luck. And after getting up, when he had just thought to walk away, the voice of Ye Chuan came from inside the tent, ¡°Fatty, come in.¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± Fatty nervously walked in. Inside the tent, don¡¯t know when, Ye Chuan had already worn clothing, and his expression was natural as if nothing had happened just now. And it was neat and tidy inside the tent without even a trace of a single cockroach. ¡°Fatty, it¡¯s already very late, I like junior apprentice-sister visiting me at this hour, but I don¡¯t have any interest in junior apprentice-brother, so quickly spit out what you want to say!¡± Ye Chuan sized up fatty who was suffering from diarrhea and said with a smile yet not a smile. ¡°Yes, yes, yes.¡± Fatty sweated profusely. When he was eavesdropping outside the tent for that long, he was fine, but seeing Ye Chuan, his stomach began to ache, so he made the long story short, ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, all of us are abnormal tonight, we continuously have an upset stomach, moreover I have already run more than ten round trip to the toilet. I and senior apprentice-sister Jiajia doubt that all of this is happening because Yi Suo, that fellow had poisoned the wine, intentionally wanting us to suffer a defeat in Great Competition.¡± ¡°Ran only more than ten round trip?¡± Ye Chuan asked. Fatty nodded his head, then suddenly paused, and looked at Ye Chuan with his face full of grief and confuse. What is the meaning of Ye Chuan¡¯s words? Don¡¯t you think I¡¯m not miserable enough? Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak, then taking out a paper and pen, he wrote words and gave it to fatty. Fatty carefully looked at the words written on it, then said, ¡°I, junior apprentice-brother, cause you great inconvenience.¡± ¡°Leave, it¡¯s not a big matter, you will quickly get better.¡± Ye Chuan instructed, then seizing that slip of paper from the hand of fatty, he burned it to ashes in an oil lamp. The eyes of fatty shone and was moved in his heart. He originally wanted to warn Ye Chuan again, but now, he knew that Ye Chuan already understood everything long ago. Great Competition will begin tomorrow, although the circumstance was anything but reassuring, but with Big senior apprentice-brother¡¯s ability, he naturally will have a way to deal with it. Fatty bowed and took a leave, then covering his stomach again, he rushed out. And just after fatty left, another guest came inside the tent of Ye Chuan. Yi Suo who was full of youthful vigor in former days unexpectedly came in front of Ye Chuan in the dead of night. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, I¡¯m coming in!¡± Yi Suo was indignant and his complexion was ghastly pale, ¡°Now, all of them says that I put in a poison in the wine, so that they will be unable to appear in the arena of Great Competition tomorrow. I am also a person of Cloud Mist Sect, am an elite inner sect disciple, so what is there for me to do that kind of thing, why are they saying that? It¡¯s very normal for a stomach to not acclimatize, I am also same. Tonight, I have also run to the toilet quite a few times, but why are all of them blaming me, merely because I¡¯m not well acquainted?¡± The face of Yi Suo showed indignant, but was carefully observing the expression of Ye Chuan in secret. He wanted to see how he will handle this, and also wanted to see whether he was poisoned just like fatty, Zhu Sijia and others or not. ¡°Fatty and other are just speaking thoughtlessly, it¡¯s nothing serious, don¡¯t mind them. It¡¯s very normal for a stomach to not acclimatize, I¡¯m also same. Besides, even if we are really poisoned, that would be the work of Black Cauldron Sect or Five Style Sect in secret.¡± Ye Chuan assumed a feeble appearance, looking even more haggard compared to fatty who had run more than 10 times. After that, patting the shoulder of Yi Suo, he said, ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, you are our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s hope for this Great Competition. Go back and rest well to prepare yourself for the Great Competition of tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Yi Suo nodded his head and left. In front of Ye Chuan, he had a very respectful appearance, but after leaving the tent, his complexion immediately turned cold, and a sneer appeared on his face. Inside the tent, Ye Chuan was also smiling. Looking at his own palm, he was smiling brilliantly as if flowers blooming in spring. Chapter 72: Bet Chapter 72: Bet Early in the next morning, Great Competition was held on schedule. The number of people of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were numerous, there were at least thousands of them. But the unexpected thing was, many disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had also rushed over privately to watch this Great Competition that was held only once every three years. Although they knew that their sect would lose this time, but people still wanted to see how Ye Chuan and other would lose, they were truly unwilling to miss this. Besides, there was one-ten thousandths chance of them not losing, creating a miracle. One person from each three great sects came forward to serve as an arbitrator, and after they read out rules, Great Competition began. The rules were also very simple. Great Competition was divided into Literary Competition and Martial Competition, these two parts. And Martial Competition would begin first. Martial Competition was three great sect sending out all of their seven participants, then drawing the lots to take turns to challenge other sect¡¯s participants for a battle. The one that was killed or forced out of life and death arena was the loser, and the other party the winner. After seven battles, the sects will be ranked by the number of times, they had won and lost. In this Great Competition, not even a single elder of Cloud Mist Sect came, so Protector Yang logically went to the stage to assume the position of the arbitrator. The results of the first round of drawing lots quickly came out. Black Cauldron Sect battle with Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± The Big Disciple of Black Cauldron Sect Hong Lie as if already knew the result of the drawn lots, jumped into the life and death arena. And immediately after landing on the life and death arena, he turned around and coldly staring at Ye Chuan who was standing outside the arena, he said, ¡°Surnamed Ye, come, I will let all the people see the integrity of my Black Cauldron Sect. Just look how I will kill you, hahaha! The outcome of this competition merely cede some crystal core mines and territory, honestly, that is too boring! How about we add a bet in this Martial Competition?¡± Hong Lie was murderous and domineering while speaking, and the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect in the audience loudly cheered in high spirit. Moreover, each and every one of them were robust. By contrast, Ye Chuan, fatty and others looked pale and powerless. No one knows how many time they had ran to toilet yesterday. Especially fatty Zhao Dazhi, he was finding hard to even stand stably. Yi Suo didn¡¯t directly put poison to kill Ye Chuan and others, but mixed a laxative in the wine instead of frequently seen Hedinghong, Heartbroken grass and other hyper-toxic poison, making Ye Chuan and others weak, so as to kill them with a borrowed knife. After that, openly getting rid of Ye Chuan, he would seize his sect¡¯s Big Disciple position. ¡°What bet?¡± Ye Chuan leisurely asked. Hong Lie looked short and small, and similarly, his heart was also small. He already hated Ye Chuan to the marrow of his bones, so ferociously staring at him, he coldly said, ¡°Very simple, the Big Disciple of the sect ranked last in this Martial Competition has to personally cut off their one arm.¡± The people in the audience of life and death arena made an uproar. In the former Great Competition, although the punishment was also not small, as, the last ranked sect had to cede many crystal core mines and territory, but such punishment of cutting off an arm or a leg had never happened before. Obviously, Hong Lie was directly aiming Ye Chuan. Naturally, whether this was his own idea, or the quiet suggestion of Sect Master of Black Cauldron Sect, Tuoba Xiong, no one know this. The people of Five Style Sect were merely looking at this as a bystander, waiting to see the bad end of Ye Chuan. As for the forces of Black Cauldron Sect, they were cheering loudly, and their momentum was very high. And as for the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect who had rushed over privately, they were silent, and sighed in their heart. Among the younger generation disciples of three great sects that participate in the competition of this time, Cloud Mist Sect was undoubtedly the weakest, and Cloud Mist Sect was sure to lose. If Ye Chuan agreed, then he will absolutely be waiting for a disgrace, and if he didn¡¯t agree, that would implicate the entire sect and hereafter, they wouldn¡¯t be able to raise their head when they went outside of sect. Dilemma! Hong Lie sneered, he had got into the stage only to make it hard for Ye Chuan. Outside the life and death arena, the Sect Master of Black Cauldron Sect, Tuoba Xiong was also sneering, and seeing the awkward predicament of Ye Chuan, he was feeling pleasure in secret. Previously, when he had tried to humiliate Cloud Mist Sect, he wasn¡¯t able to do so, instead, he was humiliated by Ye Chuan, this made him bear a grudge against him. Moreover, his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao kept on complaining, continuously making him even angrier. But now, the opportunity has come, and finally seizing the opportunity, they ruthlessly oppressed him. Tuoba Xiaoniao standing beside her father Tuoba Xiong was staring at Ye Chuan, wanting to know how he would choose. Recalling Ye Chuan calling him wife every time he met her, furthermore with the matter of Shallow Water Bay, she was somewhat angry in her heart. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, don¡¯t agree.¡± Zhu Sijia said, pulling the hem of Ye Chuan¡¯s gown. She was worried that he will agree to it without thinking. Recalling the matter of yesterday, she was angry. She had never seen such rogue from her childhood, but, despite being angry, in front of outsiders, she joined in opposition to the same adversary. ¡°Okay, no problem, it¡¯s just an arm.¡± Ye Chuan agreed as if he didn¡¯t hear the words of Zhu Sijia. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect secretly cried out this was anything but reassuring and were greatly surprised. The eyes of Hong Lie who was standing on the life and death arena shone, and said while laughing heartily, ¡°Hahaha, good, good, brat, your cultivation is not up to much, but your arrogance isn¡¯t small. Heh heh, it¡¯s easy to say, but I want to see how many arms you will have in the end. Come, come up, within 10 moves, I will keep one of your arms, hahaha!¡± Hong Lie killing intent rose to the skies, challenging Ye Chuan in public. ¡°Want to fight me?¡± Ye Chuan laughed, and shaking his head, he continued, ¡°No, boy, you are not qualified. First, defeat my junior apprentice-brothers and sister. Fatty, go, kill him for me.¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡­, Big senior apprentice-brother, I¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zaho Dazhi was stunned, he was never prepared for this. After having diarrhea the entire night, now he was unable to even stand stably, so how could he fight Hong Lie? Besides, his cultivation cannot be compared to his, so if he went to the arena, then wouldn¡¯t that just be throwing a meat-stuffed bun at the dog? Ye Chuan smiled and with the appearance of having a well-thought-out plan, he whispered something in the ear of fatty. After that, the fear on the face of fatty slowly dissipated, then nodding his head, he dragged his body onto the life and death arena using a stick as support, ¡°Surnamed Hong, come, you dare to snatch our Big senior apprentice-brother¡¯s wife, sister-in-law Xiaoniao, I, your father will crush you to death!¡± Your sister-in-law Xiaoniao? The people in the audience were dumbfounded, then made a commotion all of a sudden. The complexion of the people of Black Cauldron Sect become ugly, and the people of Five Style Sect were looking at this bustling with a smile. On the arena, the complexion of Hong Lie got ghastly pale, and the complexion of Tuoba Xiaoniao off the arena blackened, and was so angry that her body was trembling. In all these last few years, even she didn¡¯t know how many people were pursuing her, but she didn¡¯t even look at one of them, remaining pure as jade and clean as ice. But now, just after she came back from her travel outside, not only Ye Chuan was addressing her as a wife, even several thousands of young disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were addressing her as a sister-in-law. Thinking about several thousand people chasing after her shouting sister-in-law, young Tuoba Xiaoniao felt pain in her heart. ¡°Ah, damned fatty, I will cut all the fat meat from your body!¡± Hong Lie was angry, then pulling out the sword, he rushed towards fatty. Suddenly a sword light rose dramatically on the life and death arena. Then with khacha khacha sound, the wooden stick in the hand of fatty was cut into more than ten pieces! Angrily raising his hand, with just a single move, Hong Lie, the Big Disciple of Black Cauldron Sect displayed his cultivation in public. That truly was unstoppable! But after that single move, when he raised his head and look coldly, he saw no one. Where did he go? On the life and death arena, there was only Hong Lie alone showing off his strength, with a completely overrun wooden stick and woodchips. There was not even a trace of fatty Zhao Dazhi, as he had already jumped off the life and death arena. With the cultivation of Hong Lie, his one move was more than enough to kill fatty. Unfortunately, this fellow deliberately showed off, intending to humiliate him first then kill, and the result, he missed the opportunity. ¡°First match, Black Cauldron Sect wins!¡± The arbitrator of Fire Style Sect stood up and announced the result of the first battle. Ye Chuan merely smiled as if he was merely a bystander, as everything was under his control. But Hong Lie on the life and death arena was laden with grief, and his hatred towards Ye Chuan just like the newly melted snow of the mountain top of Cloud Mist mountain range, unceasingly overflowed! Chapter 73: Super class girl’s voice Chapter 73: Super class girl¡¯s voice In the first battle, Black Cauldron Sect won without suspense. But, the complexion of losing side was indifferent, and the winning side was also not happy. As for overbearing Hong Lie who was shouting to kill the instant he entered the arena, he felt unwell as if he had eaten a dead fly. Now, he had nowhere to display his amazing cultivation power. Hong Lie ferociously glared at Ye Chuan, and under the urge of the arbitrators, he had to jump off the life and death arena feeling bitter. The second competition ensued. As luck would have it, the result of this time¡¯s drawn lots were unexpectedly again Black Cauldron Sect and Cloud Mist Sect, these two great sects running into each other in a row. Off the arena, Hong Lie was laughing heartily, and shouting justice will be done by God, and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were getting nervous. In the first battle, Ye Chuan made poisoned fatty who couldn¡¯t even stand stably to go into the battle, and just like accepting one loss in order to ensure two wins, he easily resolved the battle against the strongest disciple of Black Cauldron Sect, Hong Lie, but what about next? This second battle, how will he deal with it? The Great Competition which originally didn¡¯t have suspense, because of Ye Chuan¡¯s unexpected strategy, was suddenly filled with suspense. Off the life and death arena, people raised their head to look with expectation. ¡°This match, I¡¯ll fight!¡± Yi Suo suddenly stood up, and not waiting for the approval of Ye Chuan, he jumped onto the life and death arena without permission while showing disdain towards the crowds of onlookers. He didn¡¯t particularly care about the reputation of sect, so much so that, for his personal gain, he didn¡¯t hesitate to secretly use poison, weakening Ye Chuan and others. But he wouldn¡¯t miss the opportunity te get in the limelight. In this battle, he wanted to make all the people under the heaven know his, Yi Suo¡¯s strength! In the second match, suddenly the scene which no one had expected appeared. Before the disciple of overbearing Black Cauldron Sect came to the arena, a person of Cloud Mist Sect instead jumped first onto the arena! And the disciple of Black Cauldron Sect who was originally preparing to enter the arena was caught unprepared and was dumbfounded. ¡°Hahaha, come, I will let you all see I, Yi Suo¡¯s power, and Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s real inheritance, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Seeing the surprised gaze of all the people in the audience, Yi Suo was extremely satisfied and felt unprecedented self-satisfaction, and as if an undefeatable commander returned in triumph, he enjoyed the public¡¯s admiration and worship. But, when he was enjoying this incomparable scenery, his laughter strangely became sharp, changing into a female voice all of a sudden. The original laughing heartily to heart¡¯s content laughter of man, suddenly changed into a sharp laughter of female. Off the arena, people were dumfounded again, and the laughter of Yi Suo who was on the life and death arena also ceased abruptly. What¡¯s wrong with my throat? Was that an illusion? Or did I laugh too loudly under the excessive excitement ruining my throat? Yi Suo was anxious, he covered his throat and coughed few times, then tried to laugh again, but the sharp woman voice entered the ears of the public again. That voice was sharp, very fine, as well as sweet too, making the female disciples off the arena blush with shame after hearing it. If a female disciple had this kind of voice, then it would be an ecstasy, and at the crucial moment, she could charm people to death. But if a grown man had this kind of voice, then this was not ecstasy, rather frightening, and too overwhelming that no one would dare to accept! Off the life and death arena, regardless of Black Cauldron Sect, Cloud Mist Sect or Five Style Sect¡¯s people, for the first time, their action was identical. They uniformly covered their ears, and strangely looking at Yi Suo, they felt very sickening. ¡°How could this be? Impossible, how could this be?¡± Yi Suo was out of his wits, and cried anxiously. All the arrogance and self-satisfaction he had felt when he went to the arena just now were all gone. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of this occasion to show-off as much as possible, and use the facts to tell the world that he, Yi Suo was the foremost person among the younger generation of Cloud Mist Sect, wanting to place himself above Ye Chuan. But now, he was dying to find a hole on the ground and jump in it, he completely lost his face. He checked himself from top to bottom, but discover nothing peculiar. After that, he ran away with his tail between his legs from the arena while covering his throat, now he was too ashamed to face anyone. ¡°Super class girl¡¯s voice, truly is overwhelming.¡± Looking at the back view of distant Yi Suo, Ye Chuan smiled evilly. Want to play dirty with me? Even after ten thousand years, you are still far away! Ye Chuan was very comfortable, every pores in his body smoothly opened.Although he had to start cultivation from the very beginning after reincarnation, but the feeling of simple life was also wonderful compared to the time when he could conceal the heaven with only his hand. After Ye Chuan laughed, fatty Zhao Dazhi also giggled. He didn¡¯t know what was going on, and was also puzzled, but seeing Yi Suo making fool out of himself, he was very delighted. Daring to mix poison in the wine, this is your retribution! Zhu Sijia looked at the dejected back view of Yi Suo, and again looked at Ye Chuan smiling evilly, then quickly understand what was going on. After that, stepping forward, she asked in whispers, ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this your work? When did you act?¡± ¡°What hey not hey, call me Big senior apprentice-brother, do you understand? Otherwise, I¡¯ll spank your buttocks.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, then retracting the smile, he said in dead earnest, ¡°Junior apprentice-sister Jiajia, be sure to never say such things. Am I, Big senior apprentice-brother that kind of person? It isn¡¯t my work, Big senior apprentice-brother, I am upright and frank, open and candid, and have true quality of a hero, so how can I do such matter that is unfair to the sect?¡± Such matter that was unfair to sect, Ye Chuan also wouldn¡¯t have done, but punishing that fellow, Yi Suo was not only not unfavorable for sect, instead was significantly favorable, so he raised his hand without any soft-heartedness. Also making the move without anybody knowing it made him feel excellent. Even Yi Suo himself didn¡¯t know when he was punished. He had schemed against many people, but scheming without anybody knowing it still made him feel well, this was the skill! For Ye Chuan who once could conceal the heaven with only his hand, this minor matter was naturally very easy. ¡°Chi, open and candid? If you are not a hoodlum, then who is hoodlum?¡± Zhu Sijia rolled her eyes, with regarding the words of Ye Chuan, she didn¡¯t believe them. But, Ye Chuan doing this kind of thing secretly means he really wasn¡¯t stupidly believing in Yi Suo, making her feel relieved a lot. ¡°Second match, Cloud Mist Sect forfeits, Black Cauldron Sect¡­¡­¡± The arbitrator of Black Cauldron Sect was very impatient to stand up, but before he could declare Black Cauldron Sect as a winner, Protector Yang who was sitting on the life and death arena on the behalf of Cloud Mist Sect also stood up and said, ¡°Slow down, the person of your Black Cauldron Sect still hasn¡¯t gone on the arena, so according to what rules, this counts as forfeiting. This match still hasn¡¯t begun, continue.¡± Protector Yang who was originally working half-heartedly suddenly saw a little bit of hope in Ye Chuan and felt as if he had to do something, so he stepped forward bravely. The arbitrator of Black Cauldron Sect glared at Protector Yang and his complexion become cold, but just when he wanted to refute, the arbitrator of Five Style Sect spoke, ¡°Correct, the match still hasn¡¯t begun, continue.¡± Three great sects were always fighting openly and maneuvering covertly, and Five Style Sect naturally hoped to watch in safety whilst other fights then reap the rewards when both sides were exhausted, so they wouldn¡¯t let Cloud Mist Sect win and also wouldn¡¯t let Black Cauldron Sect win too easily. 2:1, with two arbitrators saying the match will continue in unison, the arbitrator of Black Cauldron Sect was also forced to hold back his words. Off the arena, Tuoba Xiong was in a very bad mood, and the consequence of this will be very grave. He called over a black robed youngster, then ferociously instructed few words in his ears. He wanted to send another powerful expert of his sect. ¡°Sect Master, if that brat Ye Chuan enter the arena, then even if I have to risk my life, I will kill him. But, if the other side sent a weakling and take the initiative to withdraw again just like before, then what should I do?¡± The black robed youngster asked for instruction. Among the younger generation disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, he was only second to sect¡¯s Big Disciple Hong Lie but in terms of physical strength only, he was even better. Now he was carrying an over ten thousand jin heavy bronze cauldron on his shoulder. He was good at physical strength and close combat, and was also expert at killing! ¡°Kill, whoever enters the arena, just kill, don¡¯t give any opportunity to even quit voluntarily, do you understand?¡± Tuoba Xiong ferociously gave orders, while gnashing his teeth. Being called father-in-law in public always made him feel humiliated, and nobody knows how this taste. In this period of time, Tuoba Xiong was in a very bad mood. His daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao didn¡¯t forgive him and would always complain whole day long. Moreover, he himself would also lose control of his feelings. He had never thought that the humiliation of that time would not disappear, and instead would leave behind this kind of consequence. So the best way to solve this was, not thinking of a way to make Ye Chuan correct himself, rather directly exterminate him, and this Great Competition was a heaven-sent chance! ¡°Yes, Sect Master, rest assured, disciple understand!¡± Black robed youngster bowed, then with a heavy bronze cauldron on his shoulder, he jumped onto the arena. When his legs landed on the arena, the entire life and death arena shook and he left behind two deep footprints. His heavy cauldron, and astonishing power made people jumpy as well as shocked. The personnel of Black Cauldron Sect cheered loudly, but Zhu Sijia who had just relaxed got tense again all of a sudden. Quietly sensing the energy fluctuation of the other party, her palms were sweating. Chapter 74: Is it okay like this too? Chapter 74: Is it okay like this too? In the same cultivation realm, because of the difference in cultivation techniques and protecting treasures, or the certain area holding favorable location and weather, the strength might be very far from each other. Zhu Sijia¡¯s cultivation also wasn¡¯t weak, and among the younger generation of Cloud Mist Sect, she was also a well-known expert, moreover, her cultivation was not necessarily worse than the black robed youngster on the life and death arena. But just looking at that huge cauldron on the shoulder of the other party, and also sensing the energy fluctuation of the other party, Zhu Sijia¡¯s complexion was ugly, as she knew that she was not his opponent. Although the Big Disciple of Black Cauldron Sect, Hong Lie had to go off the arena, but in a blink of an eye, another expert who was almost by no means inferior to Hong Lie appeared. Black Cauldron Sect which was at the zenith of its power in the last few years really was powerful and experts were emerging in an endless stream. If she had been able to conserve strength and store up energy yesterday, reaching her peak condition, then she might have a chance, but yesterday¡­¡­ The beautiful face of Zhu Sijia turned bright red, she was both angry and embarrassed, and then she glared at Ye Chuan. Among the group of eight people, only Ye Chuan was fine yesterday and only he alone didn¡¯t run to the toilet. And looking at the sudden change of Yi Suo¡¯s voice into that super class girl¡¯s voice today, it was obvious that Ye Chuan already knew that the wine served by Yi Suo had a problem. But what was infuriating was although he obviously knew about it, he unexpectedly expressed nothing, and made everybody including herself, a girl, run to the toilet many times throughout the entire night. Now you say, isn¡¯t this brat Ye Chuan so hateful? ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, let me go!¡± Nan Tiandu stepped forward and said indifferently without any expression. This was a war, and with Zhu Sijia being a girl, and Ye Chuan, this Big senior apprentice-brother having low cultivation, it was the time for him to raise his hand. Last night, although he was similarly poisoned, had to run unknown times to the toilet, and now his entire body aching and feeling weak, but even if he had to face a strong opponent, Nan Tiandu was unintimidated. Heaving Shaking Nine Swords, a sword faster than a sword, encounter strong, become even stronger, this was his true qualities. ¡°No, Tiandu, not yet.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and his vision scanned the face of everybody. Fatty Zhao Dazhi immediately shrunk back. Just now, he had already toughened his scalp to enter the arena once, and he will not enter the second time. The first time, he luckily came back, but if he enters the arena once again, then he would die for sure. ¡°Fatty, are you scared?¡± Ye Chuan smiled. Seeing his smile, fatty was greatly frightened in his heart, and began sweating profusely, ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, I¡­¡­¡± ¡°Your guts is so tiny, no wonder you are not able to woo even a single junior apprentice-sister in so many years.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, while looking at fatty with hating iron for not becoming steel appearance, then his gaze turned towards one outer sect disciple, ¡°Wu Yong, right? How about measuring your strength in this match, junior apprentice-brother?¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡­, Big senior apprentice-brother, I¡­¡­, I¡¯m afraid, I can¡¯t, this¡­¡­¡± The outer sect disciple named Wu Yong was greatly surprised, and had a bitter face. It had been only less than one month since he had entered the sect. Although he was called outer sect disciple, but in fact was a lowest rank handyman. Specifically speaking, he did dirty, tiring and so on nominal works to live. And this time, following Ye Chuan to go into the battle, this was a complete accident. Even a lot of similar handyman outer sect disciples didn¡¯t recognize him. He really didn¡¯t understand how Ye Chuan was able to know his name. Now, his cultivation was merely Rank 3 Wuzhe. If he went to life and death arena to measure his strength against that black robed youngster of Black Cauldron Sect, then he feared that he would be smashed into a meat pulp by that bronze cauldron the other party was carrying on his shoulder, so how could he fight? Wu Yong didn¡¯t dare to enter the arena, and again didn¡¯t dare to defy Ye Chuan, so he trembled. Ye Chuan beckoned and said with a smile, ¡°Come here, Big senior apprentice-brother will instruct you what to do. If Big senior apprentice-brother says you can, then even if you can¡¯t you can, and if Big senior apprentice-brother says you can¡¯t, then even if you can you can¡¯t, don¡¯t be afraid.¡± What kind of trick are you going to teach him, Big senior apprentice-brother? Fatty, Zhu Sijia and others were curious in their heart, and Wu Yong walked over with half believing, half doubting expression, and only after hearing the instruction of Ye Chuan, his complexion become much better. After that, under the attentive gaze of people, Wu Yong gathered his courage and walked step by step towards life and death arena. Now a rare scene throughout the history of life and death arena appeared. In the Great Competition which was held only once in three years, who among the participant disciples did not directly fly over to the arena? But trifling Rank 3 Wuzhe like Wu Yong, even if they wanted to fly over, they wouldn¡¯t be able to fly, they could only walk step by step and climb on the arena. This had never happened before. ¡°No way, he is only Rank 3 Wuzhe, how will he fight?¡± ¡°Come on, here we go again, he has come just to take the initiative to admit defeat.¡± ¡°Kill, smash him into meat pulp in one move!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Off the life and death arena, the disciples of three great sects were making all sorts of comments. Some were hurling curses, some were disdainful and some were also eagerly waiting for the end result of this match. ¡°Aiyaya, I¡­¡­¡± Black robed youngster flew into a rage, and he immediately held his heavy bronze cauldron high above his head. Learning from the mistake of Hong Lie, he didn¡¯t show off his cultivation, and directly used a fatal move. But it was already too late for the heavy bronze cauldron to smash him, as, leisurely walking step by step Wu Yong, when he had just placed the tip of his toe on the life and death arena, he suddenly cried out ¡®aiyo¡¯, and his body suddenly rolled down from life and death arena. It seemed that a sudden invisible blast wave sent him flying. Off the life and death area, clapping suddenly resounded with earth-shaking momentum, and the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect cheered loudly. For the valor of black robed youngster, they cheered. On the arena, black robed youngster nevertheless had a lifeless look in his eyes. Is it okay like this too? The black robed youngster, Li Yang won, but his heart was messy, dejected and annoyed. Although this victory was too one sided, but it was too late to kill, so how should he justify himself in front of Sect Master Tuoba Xiong? Black robed youngster, Li Yang was vomiting blood in his heart. Now, he finally understood the feeling of Big Disciple Hong Lie. After that, ferociously glaring at smiling Ye Chuan, he jumped down resentfully. ¡°That brat surnamed Ye, truly is too sinister, and too despicable!¡± Among the crowd, Tuoba Xiong cursed loud and long despite his status. Hong Lie and Li Yang were two most outstanding younger generation disciples of Black Cauldron Sect. He wanted to take advantage of this time¡¯s Great Competition to place them in a big limelight, and ruthlessly suppress Cloud Mist Sect and Five Style Sect. But unexpectedly, they were not able to use even a single big move they had. Ye Chuan had used two weaklings to easily resolve them like this, this made him continuously grit his teeth in anger. ¡°Father, what¡¯s next?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s autumn eyes wander about and looking at far away Ye Chuan, now she even more felt that the latter was not simple. At that time, when her father¡¯s scheme failed, she knew that Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t simple, and was far from the person without a single redeeming feature. As it now seems, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect was really well hidden. ¡°Humph, continue, we¡¯ll continue to send the experts of our sect. In any case, the last ranked sect should cut off one arm, let¡¯s see whether his Cloud Mist Sect has more trashes, or my Black Cauldron Sect has more experts, and see until when that brat, Ye Chuan can endure!¡± Tuoba Xiong gnashed his teeth, and his eyes turned red as if an insane yao beast. With absolute strength, one could be capable of directly grinding through the obstacles. No matter what scheme Ye Chuan has, send an expert to fight, directly grinding through the scheme! ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, I guess these two matches are the only matches for us Cloud Mist Sect for today. We are fine today, but what about tomorrow, what should we do?¡± While Tuoba Xiong was gnashing his teeth, Zhu Sijia asked with heavy-hearted. The strategies of Ye Chuan unexpectedly obtained extraordinary efficacy, but there was no way they could continue to do so. They always cannot give up voluntarily every time, otherwise they would be last ranked and Ye Chuan would have to cut off his arm, making themselves an extremely big joke. Instead of this, it would have been better off if they hadn¡¯t participated from the very beginning. ¡°The matters of tomorrow is for tomorrow, but tonight, how should we get through this endless night? Junior apprentice-sister Jiajia, do you have any idea how we two should spend the night?¡± Ye Chuan smiled and said while sizing up the curvy body of Zhu Sijia. While sizing up, intentionally or unintentionally, he concentrated his gaze on her pert buttocks. ¡°Hoodlum!¡± Zhu Sijia cursed and angrily turning around, she walked away, now she didn¡¯t feel like caring again. In any case, even if they really ranked last, the one that should cut off the arm was not her but Ye Chuan, so why should she worried about him? However, although she was angry, but in her heart, she couldn¡¯t help but think about the matches of tomorrow and got worried. Chapter 75: Haunting Vixen Chapter 75: Haunting Vixen In the third match, it was finally the turn of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect. If Black Cauldron Sect was said to be a fierce tiger, then Five Style Sect was a fierce wolf, and their strength was also by no means inferior compared to latter. These two sects were latecomers that had surpassed their predecessors in Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Now in the life and death arena, they were going to have a ferocious and heated collision. The participant of this battle from Black Cauldron Sect was a tall and big youngster, holding a heavy sword. And the participant of Five Style Sect was a girl. She was small, exquisite, and looked charming. She wore a skintight battle dress on the upper part of her body and wore a short leather skirt on her lower body. All in all, she attracted the eyes of people, and whistle sound began to rise from all directions. She was none other than the golden daughter of Five Style Sect¡¯s Sect Master, Liu Hong. After a simple probing, both of them opened ferocious attacks on life and death arena. The expert of Black Cauldron Sect attacked as if the wind, and each attack contained great strength, absolutely not showing any tender, protective feeling for the fairer sex. His face was cold and as if he was merely a killing puppet, he attacked just like a tide. This fellow was in offensive and Liu Hong was in defensive, and she seemed to be surrounded by perils, but she occasionally launched swift counterattacks. Her weapon was also relatively rare, it was a long ribbon. Sometimes, it would wrap around the heavy sword of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s expert as if a rope and sometimes, as if a viper, thrust straight towards the chest of the opponent. Boldly dressed Liu Hong attracted the gaze of the people from the moment she stepped onto the arena. And the gazes of people lingered on her chest and pert buttocks again and again. But soon, the people were attracted by the intense close quarter combat, including Ye Chuan. He was somewhat surprised looking towards Liu Hong. He had never thought that this woman whom he had encountered in underground Ghost Market was actually this skilled. ¡°Is that woman of Five Style Sect so good-looking?¡± Seeing Ye Chuan was continuously staring at Liu Hong on the arena, Zhu Sijia got angry without any reason. People said that, all men liked vixen, it seems, that really was the truth. Ye Chuan was only staring, but the eyes of fatty were shining, and his lecherous gaze was following the buttocks of Liu Hong while drooling. ¡°Well, she is good-looking, her figure is indeed not bad. But, flavor¡­¡­, she is unable to compare with our sister Jiajia.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°Humph, you have a good taste, if you like this kind of woman who would have an illicit love affair with anybody, then I really would have looked down upon you.¡± Zhu Sijia snorted, but was happy in her heart, as Ye Chaun finally spoke sensible words after they were together for so long.But after thinking for a bit, the beautiful face of Zhi Sijia got covered with a layer of frost again, and glaring at Ye Chuan, she said: ¡°No, wrong, who is your sister?¡± This fellow looked honest, but was always taking cheap advantage of other people and she would carelessly fell into his trap. Zhu Sijia angrily glared at Ye Chuan. ¡°It¡¯s same, isn¡¯t junior apprentice-sister and sister same? Jiajia, it¡¯s not good for a woman to be too rigid, otherwise, after marrying, I fear you will not have a harmonious life. Fatty, what do you say?¡± Ye Chuan said in all seriousness. Then with an evil smile, he secretly pushed fatty to the front. Fatty who was entranced looking at Liu Hong on the arena, simply didn¡¯t notice the little conflict between Zhu Sijia and Ye Chuan. And hearing the calling of Ye Chuan, he subconsciously turned around, result, a ¡®pa¡¯ sound resounded, as he helped Ye Chuan to block a slap with his face. Zhu Sijia was so angry that it was unbearable, so she slapped. The face of fatty was swollen all of a sudden, and also felt dizzy for a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t move, the result is out!¡± Ye Chuan raised his head, and said all of a sudden. Then, Zhu Sijia who wanted to raise her hand again stopped, and fatty Zaho Dazhi also ignored the pain and raised his head to look. Sure enough, the victor of the fight on life and death arena was decided. After making sure of an opportunity, the expert of Black Cauldron Sect launched an all-out attack, unfortunately, Liu Hong dodged again. And at the moment when the other party¡¯s strength was exhausted, she exerted strength on the ground with her tiptoe, and suddenly jumped into the air, then with the ribbon in her hand strangling the throat of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s expert, she put forth her strength to twist the latter¡¯s head. After that, his body weakly collapsed to the ground. At this moment, Liu Hong was still in the air, and her inner thigh was practically exposed thoroughly to the public, as her short leather skirt was too short to be able to cover her. ¡°Nice!¡± ¡°Beautiful, once more!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. Off the life and death arena, people cheered loudly and were in high spirits as they were able to feast their eyes. ****, her appearance was lovely and beautiful, cultivation was also high, moreover with her ending the match by turning the tide, it was difficult to not seethe with excitement! [****: in raw] In an instant, many people were in a daze, and fatty was also the same, forgetting the slap Zhu Sijia had given him for no apparent reason. ¡°Humph, a vixen is a vixen, obviously had thousands of ways to easily kill the opponent, but using this kind of way, truly shameless!¡± Zhu Sijia snorted in disdain, and her mood became bad, but she no longer entangled with Ye Chuan. She just turned around and left, while looking at Hong Lie who was pretending to be frail. On life and death arena, the three arbitrators stood and declared Five Style Sect as the winner. Finally, a phase of the Great Competition ended. And the people of three great sects dispersed in succession. There will not be any more match today, and the competition will continue tomorrow. Ye Chuan calmly led fatty, Nan Tiandu and other towards their camping ground. In today¡¯s competition, Liu Hong being so excellent was slightly unexpected, but everything was still under his control. The poison Yi Suo had mixed in the wine, not surprisingly lost its effect now. And with Ye Chuan¡¯s personality, he will definitely not let this matter drop, even Hall Master Jin Zhikun and Third Elder who were hiding in the backstage, he will make them have no choice but to come out one after another! Ye Chuan sneered in his heart, he wanted to draw a snake out of its hole, then eliminate all the potential hidden troubles! Want to play dirty with him, regardless of Yi Suo or Jin Zhikun or Third Elder Bai YanHu, all were too inexperienced! ¡°Noble son Ye, wait a minute, noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± A sweet voice came from behind. Liu Hong who was showing off on the life and death arena just now was unexpectedly chasing after them, followed by her personal maid with a ponytail, and behind her, a group of Five Style Sect¡¯s guards. The people around immediately stopped their steps, and looked over simultaneously. There were many young and promising disciples of three great sects, but why was she persistently looking for this mediocre fellow, Ye Chuan? People didn¡¯t understand. Some were envying, and many others were jealous, so much so that they viewed him as an enemy. Ye Chuan turned around, and he saw that among the group of bodyguards of Liu Hong, he discovered a familiar face. He was Big Disciple of Five Style Sect, Gushan Leng. Now he was ferociously glaring at Ye Chuan with sinister and ruthless complexion. ¡°Miss Liu, are you looking for you?¡± Ye Chuan asked, completely ignoring the ferocious gaze of Gushan Leng. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here to thank you. The people I sent to Shallow Water Bay, found these seeds, I want to give them to you as a present, merely I don¡¯t know whether these are the seeds you were looking for or not.¡± Liu Hong came over, and handed over a small pouch to Ye Chuan, and her fragrance seeped into the nasal cavity of Ye Chuan. After that, she approached even nearer, and just when her tall and erect boobies were practically stuck on the chest of Ye Chuan, she stopped, and she whispered in the ear of Ye Chuan: ¡°Noble son Ye, I have another good news to tell you. In that place of Bluestone Mine you have told me about, we really discover an ancient bronze cauldron 100 meters deep underground. Although it was somewhat damaged, but the greater part of the runes carved on the cauldron still exists. After mending, perhaps it might become our main cauldron. They said, there might be other things underground, so my father and others are still digging. Because of this, my father heavily rewarded me.¡± Accidentally discovering an ancient treasure, and being able to help her father, Liu Hong obviously was very happy, and was glowing with pride and happiness. All of this was because of Ye Chuan. The causal move of the latter made her achieve her heart¡¯s wish. ¡°Well, congratulations, congratulations!¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised. At that time, he had casually informed her to repay her favor, but unexpectedly, there truly was a treasure deep underground. No wonder Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong came personally for this time¡¯s Great Competition, but the Sect Master of Five Style Sect was absent. ¡°Our Five Style Sect looks grand, but the period of time we rise to the prominence after all is still too short. We lack sufficient accumulation, unlike your Cloud Mist Sect which has such a long heritage and accumulated a large number of techniques and treasures. Noble son Ye, you say, how should I thank you for this time?¡± A pair of big watery eyes of Liu Hong looked at Ye Chuan, then leaning even closer, she placed her finger on the chest of Ye Chuan and began making circles with her finger. Then she said in a mosquito like small voice, ¡°Noble son Ye, tonight, I will be waiting for you in the mangrove forest of the hillside, please come to have a sumptuous meal. See you there, you must come.¡± Deeply looking at Ye Chuan, Liu Hong with ponytailed maid turned around and walked away, leaving behind lingering fragrance. And those slender legs under her short skirt become Eagle Beak Cliff¡¯s most beautiful scenery. Now far away, the gaze of Gushan Leng become even more sinister. Then ferociously glaring at Ye Chuan, he followed after Liu Hong. The onlookers also dispersed slowly. No one knew what Ye Chuan and Liu Hong talked about, but discerning people could perceive Five Style Sect¡¯s golden daughter Liu Hong¡¯s ambiguousness. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, what did miss Liu Hong say to you just now?¡± Fatty was very curious, and before walking even a few steps after Ye Chuan, he couldn¡¯t help but asked. Ye Chuan smiled and said: ¡°She said that Five Style Sect¡¯s campsite has a lot of delicacies and wine. And she asked me to come to her tent tonight for a rendezvous, and have a night chat in candlelight with her.¡± ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, did you agree?¡± Fatty excitedly asked, as if he was the one who had the appointment. He recalled that feast of the eye he had seen just a moment ago in mind constantly. ¡°No, am I, Big senior apprentice-brother a casual man? Even if I want to have night chat in a candlelight with her, then I will do so in the Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s campsite.¡± Ye Chuan looked at fatty with a smile yet not a smile then strode away. ¡°Really? Big senior apprentice-brother, is Miss Liu really coming to our campsite tonight?¡± The eyes of fatty shone, and he eagerly ran after Ye Chuan. Chapter 76: Not enduring at all Chapter 76: Not enduring at all Returning to the campsite, Ye Chuan began his seclusion cultivation. Today, although both matches were lost in succession, but Ye Chuan basically didn¡¯t care. These were within his expectation and also were his deliberate arrangement. Now the next step was focusing. But, if he wished to turn the tide and amaze the world with a single brilliant feat, then only relying upon strategy was not enough. Ye Chuan silently recited his technique, and with the flashing of cyan colored light, Cyan Lotus Lamp came out. Within faint cyan colored light, on the body of the lamp, two small black spots were circulating quickly. And with a popping sound, the air rippled as Golden Cicada King and white colored piggy jumped out from inside Cyan Lotus Lamp. Golden Cicada King flapped its wings while flying all around, and its small wings gave rise to a burst of a chaotic stream, as if after such a long period of time in seclusion, it was impatient to freely soar all over the world outside. As for piggy, it was lying prone on the ground and was spiritless as always, as if even if it slept for eternity, it was not enough. In a single glance, these two fellows didn¡¯t seem to change, but the sharp eyes of Ye Chuan quickly noticed the changes of these fellows. The two small bulging on the body of Golden Cicada King had gotten larger, moreover was slightly cracked with underdeveloped wings slightly coming out from them. It seems it had taken a substantial first step towards transforming into Six Winged Golden Cicada. As for Piggy, it was still fair and tender, but now there were two bulging on its back too as if it also wanted to sprout a pair of wings. Now it appearance looked all the more rarer, not resembling a pig, instead resembled a little like a young raptor, or the mutation of some ancient wilderness raptor. ¡°Is it possible that it is that legendary Flying Pig?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised, and his thoughts of going deeper into Cloud Mist Mountain Range, searching for more wilderness mutated yao beasts to tame become even stronger. Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique he had obtained in the God Burial Valley made him look forward to the future he had not seen in his previous life. Starting the cultivation from the very beginning again, no matter how swallow his cultivation was, if he had a large group of innately gifted mutated wilderness yao beasts, then with a single move of his fingers, he would have been able to crush Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect who considered themselves the best of the world, just like in his previous lifetime when he was able to conceal the heaven with only his hand. Ye Chuan suppressed his impulse to immediately go deep into the Cloud Mist Sect Mountain range, then taking out some materials, he busied himself, preparing a number of things to pleasantly surprise the opponent by catching them unprepared. Very quickly, night befell on the earth. The disciples of three great sects were excited endlessly, and were still excitedly discussing about the three matches of daytime. In the Eagle Beak Cliff, now only the tent of Yi Suo was very quiet. After making an exhibition of himself on life and death arena, Yi Suo had fled, and since then, he had never returned back, as he no longer had face to face others. While Ye Chuan was busying himself inside his tent, he was hiding inside a hidden natural cave, merely there was an ice-cold masked man beside him. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s Ye Chuan, definitely the dirty plot of that brat Ye Chuan.¡± Yi Suo said while gnashing his teeth. Even after most part of the day had passed, his voice was still sharp, fine and sweet female voice. Now under shame and anger, his face was twisted in an inhuman way. ¡°Hall Master Jin, I want to kill him, don¡¯t stop me, I must kill him, I will tear that brat Ye Chuan into pieces!¡± Yi Suo had never been so angry like today. Originally, he wanted to go to the arena and show off to get into a limelight, but to his surprise, he nevertheless lost the face of even his eight generation ancestor, turning into a laughing stock of everybody. On the life and death arena, facing the laughter of the disciples of three sects, the mind of Yi Suo had become blank. Now, although his voice was still not restored, but he has calmed down, and after deducing, he had a faint understanding of what was going on. Other than Ye Chuan, it was hard to imagine that someone else had used this devious trick. Merely, when did Ye Chuan used this devious trick and how did he carry it out, Yi Suo was unable to understand for the time being. When drinking wine, did he also put in poison in my wine, or¡­¡­ Yi Suo thought deeply, and suddenly, he recalled Ye Chuan patting his shoulder then immediately tearing apart his clothing, he looked. Sure enough, he discovered a small red dot on his shoulder. It was merely pinhole size, and was superficial, but if he pressed it using strength, he felt a little bit of pain. It¡¯s him, really was him! Yi Suo trembled with anger, then he immediately pulled out his sword that was hanging on his waist, then with full of killing intent, he was about to go the campsite and kill Ye Chuan then tear apart his body into thousands of pieces. Jin Zhikun just stood aside without stopping him. He merely looked at angry Yi Suo coldly and said, ¡°Kill? How will you kill him? Storm in in public, then cut him into two half with your sword, or chop him into minced meat? Recklessly attacking like this, do you intend to follow your teacher Third Elder¡¯s instruction or not? And do you still want the position of Big senior apprentice-brother or not?¡± Jin Zhikun coldly said, he was very dissatisfied with regarding the action of Yi Suo. And his words poured a bucket full of cold water over the impulsive Yi Suo. After that, he coldly said again, ¡°Yi Suo, you are too disappointing. When we were in the sect, what did I and Third Elder tell you? Who asked you to go up to the arena as you wish for a battle?¡± ¡°Even if I didn¡¯t go into a battle, that brat Ye Chuan already know my trick of poisoning the wine, and is secretly alert. That brat is too sinister and too despicable. His mouth sounds beautiful, but essentially, he doesn¡¯t have any trust in me!¡± The face of Yi Suo twisted, his heart was still a little defiant, blinded by hatred. Originally, he thought that Ye Chuan was just an idiot, and he could easily fool him as he please. But unexpectedly, he was a real idiot here. That brat Ye Chuan was truly cunning! ¡°No, completely different! If you hadn¡¯t gone into the battle, and pretended to be poisoned just like other people, then even if Ye Chuan had doubts in his heart, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to anything, and there still would be the chance to continue secretly, making Ye Chuan and others suffer a crushing defeat. Now, do you still have a chance? Can you still act according to our plan? Now, what you have to do is, not kill to the top of the mountain, rather think about how you will explain this to your master.¡± Coldly glaring at angry Yi Suo, the blood and qi of Jin Zhikun were seething. A good plan came to a premature end just like this, he was also very furious in his heart. Unable to accomplish anything but liable to spoil everything! This was his evaluation of Yi Suo. If it was not for him considering the face of Yi Suo¡¯s master Third Elder, then he would have already twisted the head of Yi Suo personally! Yi Suo who was blinded by hatred and anger suddenly woke up. Then his face turned pale and his body trembled. The methods of his teacher Third Elder, no one understood better than him. Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun is right, how should I explain this important matter to master? ¡°Now that the circumstance has changed, we can only change the plan for the time being.¡± Jin Zhikun looked at Yi Suo and coldly said: ¡°Now, there is two choice, one is to directly kill Ye Chuan swiftly with the borrowed knife. Another is enduring. The angrier you are, the more you have to endure, while acting grieved and pitiful, to make Ye Chuan relax his vigilance, then give him a fatal one hit at the crucial moment!¡± ¡°How to kill him with a borrowed knife?¡± The eyes of Yi Suo revealed an ominous glint. Endure? This was absolutely not his style, he absolutely couldn¡¯t endure this! Acting grieved and pitiful in front of Ye Chuan, how could he do that? Forcibly endure, he will suffocate to death! Between killing Ye Chuan to take revenge and not spoiling the important matter of his teacher, he didn¡¯t need much time to think which to select. Yi Suo selected the former without any hesitation, as he couldn¡¯t endure at all. ¡°There are some matters you don¡¯t need to know too much. Just act as per my instruction. Although Five Style Sect is difficult to enter, but I still have some eyes and ears over there. Yi Suo, come here.¡± Jin Zhikun instructed whispering in the ear of Yi Suo, then handed over a sandalwood to him. The latter was startled and his complexion changed. ¡°What, are you afraid?¡± Jin Zhikun coldly asked. ¡°If¡­¡­, if the Sect Master of Five Style Sect knows this, then I¡¯m afraid that¡­¡­¡± Yi Suo was sweating like a pig, and he was somewhat hesitating. But in front of the cold gaze of Jin Zhikun, he thought for a bit, then took the sandalwood and nodded his head resolutely, and said, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid, it¡¯s useless to afraid, Yi Suo will follow all the arrangements of Your Excellency Hall Master.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, rest assured, after this is achieved, Big Disciple position of the sect is definitely yours. I just want the head of Ye Chuan, all others are yours, and one day, even the entire sect will be yours, you will become my Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s next Sect Master.¡± The eyes of Jin Zhikun flashed with an ominous glint. He had waited for so long to kill Ye Chuan, now the opportunity has finally come. ¡°Rest assure, Hall Master, Yi Suo knows what to do!¡± Yi Suo bowed, took a deep breath, then resolutely walked outside to the darkness. Chapter 77: Please eat a sumptuous meal Chapter 77: Please eat a sumptuous meal The night got increasingly dense, enveloping the entire earth. The tents scattered all over Eagle Beak Cliff, just like stars in the sky, gradually become silent. People were either immersed in the world of cultivation or have entered the dreamland. Now the mountain peak was very quiet. The campsite of Cloud Mist Sect was also very quiet. While other people were resting with their tent covered up completely, only fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s tent was still half covered and half closed. Hearing Liu Hong would come over tonight, fatty had been continuously thinking about her. That lovely, bold and unrestrained woman ah, even if he couldn¡¯t obtain, but getting a chance to look was also good. With regarding Big senior apprentice-brother Ye Chuan¡¯s skill and fortune of encountering a beauty, fatty greatly admired as well as envied him, while drooling. Unfortunately, even though he was continuously waiting after the Great Competition, waiting until dusk, then continuously waiting until before daybreak, he however was not able to see those beautiful legs, and those short cannot be any shorter leather skirt too. Finally, regretting deeply, he entered the dreamland. In his dreams, the beautiful scene of Liu Hong soaring in the sky and beheading her opponent appeared before him again. Tonight, even though he had a date with a beauty, Ye Chuan was completely unconcerned, unlike fatty who was continuously thinking about it. Right now, there were several bottles, pots and several talismans beside him. These talismans were different from the talismans refined by ordinary cultivators, the lines drawn were zig-zagging just like tadpole character1. They resembled doodling, but looking carefully, one can find countless laws implied therein with obscure energy fluctuation. [1tadpole character = an ancient form of Chinese script, it is called so because of its resemblance to tadpoles swimming about in water] ¡°Rank 7 Wuzhe, sure enough, it¡¯s still somewhat strenuous to refine!¡± Ye Chuan muttered. Now beads of sweats were dripping from his face. These talismans which resembled a casual scribble, in essence, he however had to spend an astonishing amount of vitality. And even with his experience, he refined a lot of defective talismans. Smoke Wave Talisman, Burst Talisman, Executing Heart Talisman¡­¡­, a number of talismans that were long lost in Wilderness World were gradually appearing here now. In the viewpoint of outsiders, the leader of the group, Ye Chuan was only talking big, was idle whole day, and seemed to not care about this Great Competition. But no one knew his effort behind the scene. A rustling sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent. The noise was so small that even the guards on the duty were unaware of it. Ye Chuan however suddenly raised his head. An arrow shot from a crossbow whistled through the air and nailed to the leg of the table. And at the end of this arrow, a handkerchief was tied. Ye Chuan pulled out the arrow and rushed out. But he saw that it was very quiet outside the tent, and outer sect disciple Wu Yong who was responsible for guarding was snoring beside the fire, simply not perceiving the uninvited guest. Ye Chuan picked up the arrow, and saw that there were four characters written on the handkerchief, ¡®Noble son, come quickly.¡¯ Beautiful calligraphy, exquisite strokes. This handkerchief still had faint delicate fragrance and familiar flavor. ¡°Is it Liu Hong?¡± An evil smile appeared on the face of Ye Chuan, then raising this handkerchief, he smelled, yes, this faint fragrance was definitely the body fragrance of Liu Hong. And again looking at those words written on the handkerchief, his face gradually cool down. After thinking for a bit, without alerting anyone else, he turned and entered his tent. After clearing up his tent, he went straight towards mangrove forest. Although the terrain of Eagle Beak Cliff was very steep, but its surrounding environment was very beautiful, and other than its summit being bare, its environment nevertheless was covered with dense forest. Moreover, there was a rare mangrove forest in one place, which would dye the entire mountain red during autumn. This mangrove forest was not hard to find. Only after a little while, Ye Chuan stepped into this bright red woods. And not far away, he saw a silhouette of a female. The sky was covered by layer upon layer of black clouds, and under a dim moonlight, a graceful woman was standing under a big tree, facing her back towards Ye Chuan. This female¡¯s stature was not tall, but she was very curvy. On the upper part of her body, she was wearing skintight clothing, and on the lower part of her body, she was wearing a short leather skirt which couldn¡¯t be any shorter, exposing her shining white slender legs. Although her height was not tall, but her legs were very long. Even looking from far away, it was clear that she was the golden daughter of Five Style Sect, Liu Hong who had infatuated countless youngsters of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. ¡°Miss Liu, I came.¡± Ye Chuan directly walked over. Although his pace was very fast, but his steps were steady without any excitement, and every step had a constant distance between them. He quickly arrived behind Liu Hong. ¡°Ye¡­¡­, noble son Ye, I¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong turned around and hugged Ye Chuan all of a sudden. Her body was boiling, and eyes were red as well as somewhat misty. Although she recognized Ye Chuan, but her consciousness seemed to be somewhat confused too, and she was emitting a faint indescribable aura. ¡°Miss Liu, is this the sumptuous meal you mentioned?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and smiled, then looking all around, just as he had expected, he discovered a burning sandalwood not far away inside the thick bush. Tsk tsk, good fellow, acting so quickly without being able to endure any longer! Ye Chuan sneered, then looked all around, searching the figure of Yi Suo. After super class girl¡¯s voice, Ye Chuan knew that Yi Suo would definitely not let this matter drop and he would definitely make a move to some extent. Merely, he had never thought that, this fellow would move so fast, and what was more unexpected was, this fellow actually had a crazy idea of involving Liu Hong, daring to defy the mighty. In such a short period of time, being able to move so resolutely, and making Liu Hong fall into a trap, the capabilities needed for these weren¡¯t simple, and it was absolutely impossible for Yi Suo to do this alone. Instantly, Ye Chuan understood that the greater part of his scheme, drawing a snake out of its hole, was already successful. Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun or Third Elder was already drawn out. ¡°Protect Miss, there¡¯s an assassin!¡± ¡°That sex maniac is in the front, kill him, protect Miss!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ In the dark, loud shouting voices suddenly rose, and flames soared outside mangrove forest. The group of Five Style Sect¡¯s experts with touch in their hand rushed over. And all of them immediately unsheathed their sword emitting dense killing intent. The person leading in the front was the Big Disciple of Five Style Sect, Gushan Leng, and seeing passionate Liu Hong stuck in the bosom of Ye Chuan, he eyes became bright red all of a sudden, and he gnashed his teeth. Who was Liu Hong? She was the golden daughter of Five Style Sect¡¯s Sect Master, was the dream lover of every young generation disciples of Five Style Sect, and was a lover who he, Gushan Leng was strenuously wooing. Although Liu Hong¡¯stemperament was bubbling with enthusiasm, dressed boldly, gave people flirtatious feeling, and never lacked all kinds of men beside her, but until now, no-one had been able to hold this beauty. Gushan Leng was the pavilion closest to the water enjoying the moonlight first, but the matter what he was most proud of was, he was once able to slightly touch the little hand of Liu Hong. But why was Ye Chuan having such treatment, he was hugging her entire body and they were still hugging tightly before him. Gushan Leng was so angry that even his lungs were bursting with rage. In the late night, he suddenly received the news that Miss Liu Hong was drugged and taken away by a sex maniac. At that time, he was a little unconvinced, but he stilled led a large group of guards to come and see what was going on in skeptical. But unexpectedly, that matter had really happened, and what made him even angrier was, that sex maniac was unexpectedly that brat Ye Chuan! ¡°Brat, you are screwed, tonight if you don¡¯t die here, then I, Gushan Leng will die here.¡± Gushan Leng walked over, while slowly pulling out his sword hanging on his waist. And the numerous guards hastily spread out making a large open space. Big senior-apprentice-brother Gushan Leng is really angry, now he alone with deal with this sex maniac Ye Chuan! Everyone subconsciously became aware of this. All of them felt Big senior apprentice-brother Gushan Leng¡¯s monstrous anger and dense killing intent. Tonight, two great sects¡¯ Big Disciple will have a death match on the spot. ¡°Killing a person is actually this simple!¡± The thick chump of grass 100 meters away shook lightly as Yi Suo who was hiding inside it was wild with joy. Killing a person with a borrowed knife, making the experts of Five Style Sect to kill Ye Chuan, this couldn¡¯t be any better. Now Ye Chuan, this thorn in his flesh will be destroyed here, and he will not be exposed, so he can justifiably sit on the throne of Big Disciple and complete the instruction of Third Elder. ¡°This is just the beginning, there is still a good play coming!¡± Jin Zhikun who was lying beside Yi Suo also sneered. Only the death of Ye Chaun was far from being sufficient for him. He wanted to completely ruin Ye Chuan¡¯s reputation, so that even in death, he would be condemned by the public. Only this would vent his hatred. ¡°Your Excellency Hall Master, this slave will be leaving first.¡± Seeing the matters were already coming to their proper settlement, the woman with a ponytail bowed to Jin Zhikun, then withdrew quietly. Then with the help of hazy moonlight, she sneaked into the midst of the people of Five Style Sect. Ye Chuan who had led a group of people to come and participate in Great Competition stepped into a dangerous trap! Chapter 78: This person is very shameless Chapter 78: This person is very shameless The uproar and the abnormal move of Five Style Sect halfway up the hill quickly alarmed other two sects, and the entire Eagle Beak Cliff boiled over, and flame soared. People raising torches went towards the mangrove forest which was halfway up a hill in succession. Zhui Sijia, fatty and others were also alike. Along the road, they heard that a sex maniac sneaked into the campsite of Five Style Sect and abducted Miss Liu Hong, so everyone was angry. Although three great sects were continuously fighting openly and maneuver covertly, but if someone was to do this kind of matter, then that would arouse the great indignant of both men and gods. If that sex maniac was caught, then he would definitely be hacked to pieces! Now, the disciples of three great sects were unanimous. Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t curse much, but fatty Zhao Dazhi however cursed ferociously all along the road. So charming, bold and unrestrained woman, before he had the chance to see her more, she was unexpectedly defiled by a sex maniac, so how could he not hate? Fatty who was unable to have his wish fulfilled even after guarding for the most part of a night was heavy-heartedly panting with rage, and he hated that he was not that sex maniac. ¡°Eh, Big senior apprentice-brother, where did he go? Fatty, did you see him?¡± On the way, Zhu Sijia suddenly stopped her step, recalling Ye Chuan. The entire Eagle Beak Cliff was boiling, and Ye Chuan unexpectedly disappearing without a trace in such moment, this was very abnormal. Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t know why, she suddenly felt indistinct uneasiness. ¡°I don¡¯t know, I also haven¡¯t seen him, he might be having a date with a beautiful woman, perhaps¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi shook his head, being envious of Ye Chuan¡¯s good luck, but before he finished speaking, his complexion suddenly changed. Big senior apprentice-brother Ye Chuan and Hong Lie had a date tonight, and now, Liu Hong was abducted by a sex maniac, then what about Big senior apprentice-brother? The heart of Zhu Sjjia jumped, and she understood this was not good, ¡°Fatty, speak quickly.¡± ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, he¡­¡­he said that tonight he and¡­¡­and Liu Hong have an appointment.¡± Fatty stuttered but didn¡¯t dare to conceal, because not seeing even the trace of Ye Chuan made him feel uneasy. ¡°Walk, quickly walk!¡± Zhu Sijia became nervous, then leading everybody, she dashed. And after arriving at the mangrove forest of halfway up a hill, she saw Ye Chuan hugging Liu Hong from far away, suddenly making her hands and legs turn ice-cold. After cursing for a long time, that sex maniac that should be hacked to pieces was Ye Chuan. The complexion of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect changed simultaneously, and everyone was caught unprepared for this. ¡°Kill, kill him, kill this sex maniac!¡± ¡°What ancient sect, the grand Big Disciple of the sect actually did this kind of deed, is this the so-called inheritance of millions of years?¡± ¡°Kill him, drag his corpse to Cloud Mist Sect and make Cloud Mist Sect explain themselves!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ More and more people came to watch, and all sorts of comments and public sentiments surged up violently. Zhu Sijia and party as well as the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect who had come privately to watch the batter, all received the public¡¯s unanimous contempt, and the public consciously or unconsciously intercepted them, making them unable to approach Ye Chuan. Some of the disciples of Five Style Sect even looked towards Zhu Sijia and others with a strange gaze, revealing ominous glint and malicious intent, as if they wanted to catch all of them. ¡°Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could Big senior apprentice-brother do this kind of deed?¡± Fatty Zaho Dazhi shook his head, and sticking to his statement, he added: ¡°No, wrong, this is a scheme, Big senior apprentice-brother is being framed. After the Great Competition, Liu Hong took the initiative to invite Big senior apprentice-brother to meet. There is basically no need for him to do such deed. Jiajia, Big senior apprentice-brother is being framed, Jiajia¡­¡­¡± ¡°Shut up, first, don¡¯t act rashly, I have the ability to discern myself, second, act according to circumstance.¡± Seeing Ye Chuan hugging Liu Hong, Zhu Sijia was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and she was dying to just turn around and walk away. But after a few deep breath, she quickly calmed down, then she crushed message talisman, asking for urgent help. No matter if Ye Chuan was really a sex maniac or being framed, this matter was very serious, and she and others would be unable to stay aloof from this matter! In the critical moment, the mind of Zhu Sijia, who was energetic, unruly and shrewish in former days, was incomparably calm. From the top of the mountain, more and more people came over, and more and more disciples of Five Style Sect heavily besieged upon Ye Chuan. No need to mention a huge living person, even a fly also couldn¡¯t escape from this encirclement now. Gushan Leng didn¡¯t attack immediately, he intentionally suppressed the anger in his heart, waiting for more onlookers to come, so that he could make Ye Chuan taste the flavor of being condemned by the public before dying. He wanted to enjoy Ye Chuan¡¯s panic, helplessness and nervousness, but, he was disappointed very soon. From the beginning till now, the complexion of Ye Chuan didn¡¯t change even a bit, and there was not even a bit of nervousness too, instead, took advantage of drugged Liu Hong by hugging her even tighter. This shameless sex maniac! Gushan Leng was furious in his heart, and became the first one to lose patience. Then pointing Ye Chuan with his sharp sword, he said: ¡°Bold sex maniac, do you have anything to say? If you have then say it quickly, tonight, either you or I will die here!¡± Gushan Leng¡¯s eyes were bright red, his face was twisted, and as if he was insane yao beast who wanted to eat people, he emitted dense killing intent. The onlookers who were where 10 meters away from him, all felt that bone chilling killing intent and they retreated in succession. But Ye Chuan who was first to be affected was completely indifferent, and without running away, he also showed no intention of attacking. ¡°Frequently attacking to kill, is killing interesting?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, as more and more experts of Five Style Sect surrounded him watertight while emitting dense killing intent. Everyone was as if a tiger and a wolf, but he didn¡¯t even look at them, just looking at Gushan Leng, Ye Chuan indifferently said, ¡°Grand Big Disciple of Five Style Sect, unexpectedly has only this much IQ, no wonder indiscriminate people could easily use you. Your cultivation is pretty good, merely IQ is worrying, no wonder I heard the Sect Master of Five Style Sect was very distressed, and despite him being not too old, his hair is completely white.¡± ¡°You¡­¡­, brat, what are you talking about?¡± Gushan Leng got angry. Even in such time, Ye Chuan, this brat was unexpectedly still talking nonsense? Swish! Under his anger, Gushan Leng used his sharp sword to ferociously stabbed, directly towards the heart of ye Chuan. Originally, he still intended to show off his skill in public, and restrain his cultivation to let Ye Chuan last few moves. But under his extreme anger, he instantly forgot his original plan and was dying to cut Ye Chuan to two half! Bone chilling sword light streak across the sky, producing an ear piercing void-breaking sound. The noisy mangrove forest quieted down all of a sudden. Everybody stared without uttering a word, looking at Ye Chuan and Gushan Leng, these two Big Disciples¡¯ life and death battle. Originally, these two people wanted to decide life and death in life and death arena, but now, that life and death battle suddenly moved up. Gushan Leng stably sat on Big Disciple¡¯s throne of Five Style Sect, and his cultivation was also not weak. He attacked as fast as lightning, and the momentum of sword move was as if rainbow. Seeing this, Zhu Sijia and others got nervous all of a sudden. But, when the sword tip was about to stab Ye Chuan, Gushan Leng suddenly stopped and gnashed his teeth. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t move, and indifferently confronting aggressive Gushan Leng with a genial smile on his face, he merely moved Liu Hong who was leaning on his bosom. If Gushan Leng hadn¡¯t stopped, then he indeed would have stabbed Ye Chuan, but he inevitably would have first stabbed through Liu Hong. Did Gushan Leng dare to ruthlessly stab through Liu Hong in public? Obviously, he didn¡¯t dare, even if he was dying to do so, he didn¡¯t have guts! More and more people came to watch, and the situation was becoming more and more not too encouraging. If there was any other person instead of Ye Chuan in this situation, then his legs would have already softened and collapsed on the ground, but Ye Chuan was calm as if nothing had happened. With Liu Hong in his bosom, it was equivalent to having a hostage, so even if more experts of Five Style Sect comes, he was not afraid of them at all. Looking around, Ye Chuan secretly circulated Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body to instigate his spirit to send out divine sense to look for Yi Suo¡¯s whereabouts. Chapter 79: It won’t hurt to hug Chapter 79: It won¡¯t hurt to hug Without much thinking, Ye Chuan knew that Yi Suo, this fellow was behind all this, and Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun or Third Elder was adding the fuel to the flames. But unfortunately, even after looking all around, he was not able to discover their figures. After alarming the disciples of three sects, Yi Suo and Jin Zhikun had retreated far away to watch the play. They were very cautious. Yi Suo couldn¡¯t endure at all. After losing his face on life and death arena in front of everyone, he was dying to fully enjoy the helplessness and tough straits of Ye Chuan before his death. Yi Suo felt that the closer he was to the scene, the better. But there was cunning and crafty Jin Zhikun, who did his best to not leak anything, and under his command, Yi Suo was forced to retreat to a distant place. ¡°Kill! Brat, if you are capable, then openly fight with me!¡± Gushan Leng roared loudly, then his body and sword combined into one all of a sudden, flying towards Ye Chuan. The sword light as if rainbow, wanted to chop the head of Ye Chuan, but, seeing Liu Hong had suddenly appeared in front of the sword tip, he came back empty-handed again, as he had no choice but to angrily withdraw his sword. ¡°But are you capable enough to fight with me? What a joke, even if you want to fight to the death against me, you don¡¯t have that qualification.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently smiled. He didn¡¯t care even a bit about this Gushan Leng, currently his target was Yi Suo, as well as Jin Zhikun and Third Elder who were moving behind the scene. He tightly held the slender waist of Liu Hong with his left hand, and take out a crystal bottle from his bosom with his right hand, then opening the cap of this bottle, he placed it under the nose of Liu Hong. An irritating smell quickly filled the air, then after Liu Hong sneezed, her dull eyes gradually lit up. ¡°Kill! You shameless sex manic, still not letting her go!¡± Being completely ignored by Ye Chuan, Gushan Leng was angry to the extreme, so he didn¡¯t notice many details. Seeing Ye Chuan not only not letting Liu Hong go, instead was hugging her even more tightly in public, the blood rushed to his brain, thoroughly driving him nuts. He held his sword and pounced on once again. This time, he made up his mind that even if he had to accidentally injure Liu Hong, he would firmly use one decisive sword attack to kill Ye Chuan. Enough is enough, Gushan Leng could no longer endure again! In Five Style Sect, who doesn¡¯t know Liu Hong was his woman. All of them knew that he was strenuously pursuing her all along, so even the disciples who were attracted to the beauty of Liu Hong also didn¡¯t dare to overstep etiquette. But now, in front of a big crowd, Ye Chuan was groping Liu Hong, so he would be unable to vent his hatred if he didn¡¯t kill Ye Chuan. If he couldn¡¯t protect his own woman, and let other people take liberties in front of him, then how could he still be Big Disciple? This time Gushan Leng was truly ready to risk everything in this all-out attack. The pupils of onlookers shrunk, and they didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily. And as for Zhu Sijia and others, they became even more nervous. The cultivation of Gushan Leng was high, and now he was going all out, so how could Ye Chuan deal with this? Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t move, furthermore this time, he didn¡¯t move Liu Hong in his bosom too, no longer using her to block the attack, as if Gushan Leng¡¯s attack was too quick that he didn¡¯t have any time to respond. ¡°Hahaha, brat, you are screwed, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Gushan Leng laughed heartily. And Yi Suo who was hiding at a distant place also was elated. The power of this move of Gushan Leng was vigorous. With the flash of the sword tip, more than ten sword flower bloomed, revealing that the death of Ye Chuan was fixed. Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, will he die just like this? People didn¡¯t even blink their eyes. Some of them screamed and some were silent, waiting for the last moment to arrive. And at this moment, the laughter of Gushan Leng was especially ear-piercing, resounding throughout the woods. But, when everyone was thinking Ye Chuan was sure to die, the laughter of Gushan Leng ceased abruptly. Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t moved at all. He was still motionless as if a bystander. But Liu Hong who was not able to stand up steadily all along suddenly stepped forward, using her ample body to block Gushan Leng¡¯s sharp sword. Now her eyes were shining, and were clear as if a pond, where is her drugged appearance? ¡°Liu Hong, you¡­, are you awake?¡± Gushan Leng had to withdraw his sword again. After repeatedly coming back empty handed, now he was so gloomy that he wanted to vomit blood. So he ferociously said: ¡°Step aside, let me kill this shameless sex maniac. He actually dared to hug and take liberty of you in public, let me kill him. I will chop him into 18 pieces!¡± ¡°Who is sex maniac? What¡¯s wrong with him hugging me, it doesn¡¯t hurt anyone! Gushan Leng, why don¡¯t you rolled out for me, roll away as far away as you can from me!¡± Lin Hong glared at Gushan Leng, then slowly looking at numerous experts of Five Style Sect, she loudly reprimanded, ¡°Trashes, you all are stupid trashes without any true discernment ability. You all couldn¡¯t even see such simple trap. Noble Ye is being framed, real sex maniac has already fled, if it was not for noble son Ye, then even I don¡¯t know what I would have done in my muddleheaded state!¡± Liu Hong fiercely glared at Gushan Leng, after being drugged, although her body was aching, limp and also muddleheaded, but her brain knew everything. ¡°Trap? Was Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple really being framed?¡± ¡°Miss Liu said so herself, so that definitely should be the truth, no wonder surnamed Ye, that fellow was calm all along!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ People began to make all sorts of comments all of a sudden. Zhu Sijia, fatty and other people were overjoyed and relaxed secretly. As for Gushan Leng, his complexion was ugly. And as for Yi Suo and Jin Zhikun who were hiding in the dark to watch the play, their complexions were even uglier. Failing to build a mound for want of one final basket of earth, after arriving to this extent, Ye Chuan unexpectedly didn¡¯t die, so they were unwilling in their heart! Hearing Liu Hong saying him to roll out in front of the public, Gushan Leng lost the control of his feeling, and was even more depressed in his heart. What¡¯s wrong with hugging her once, but did Liu Hong ever let him hug her even once? He was very angry, but he didn¡¯t dare to attack Liu Hong, instead he directed all his rage towards Ye Chuan, ¡°Liu Hong, you said this is a trap, but is there any proof? Aren¡¯t you being threatened by this brat Ye Chuan? Just let me kill him!¡± Gushan Leng¡¯s eyes revealed ominous glint, then his body suddenly dimmed, and disappeared using Wind Style. After that, he instantly appeared behind Ye Chuan and ruthlessly stabbed towards him. But, Liu Hong was already prepared, and blocked him once again. ¡°Gushan Leng, you dare?¡± Liu Hong was angry, then suddenly raising her hand, she slapped on the face of Gushan Leng. Instantly, all people were stunned. They had never expected Liu Hong, who was smooth and slick in making social contacts and who would never take offense, actually slapped Gushan Leng in public for Ye Chuan. Gushan Leng also hadn¡¯t foreseen this, so was startled for a moment, then his face turned green then white. ¡°Gushan Leng, look carefully, don¡¯t you want a proof?¡± Ye Chuan walked few steps, then he pulled out a burning sandalwood from inside a bush, and said indifferently: ¡°This is the proof, someone secretly burned this incense beside Miss Liu, drugging her without her knowledge.¡± ¡°This incense has not finished burning, but why aren¡¯t we drugged?¡± Gushan Leng quickly seized the flaw in Ye Chuan¡¯s words. He was angry in his heart, but he didn¡¯t dare to attack easily seeing Liu Hong was watching him intently. The onlookers also simultaneously looked at Ye Chuan with same doubt. ¡°Good question!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, then taking a quick glance at everyone, he said: ¡°This incense has a very good name, it¡¯s called Spirit Halting Incense. After smelling it, even the spirit will be fragrant. Burning this incense, not only will not drug you, instead will calm the spirit of people, but if added a medicinal liquid called Luring Spirit Water, then it¡¯s a different matter. Miss Liu, did you drink something before you came here?¡± ¡°I have, I drank a cup of tea!¡± Liu Hong as if awakening from a dream suddenly recalled something. When she was muddleheaded, she knew that she had fallen into the trap, but she didn¡¯t know the specifics of how. But after hearing the words of Ye Chuan, she suddenly came to the realization, then she coldly gave the order, ¡°Guards, bring maid Ju Xiang over to me!¡± Only her personal maid Ju Xiang knew that she and Ye Chuan had agreed to meet this evening at Mangrove forest, moreover, before going out, she had drunk a cup of tea this maid Ju Xiang had offered. Liu Hong quickly understood what was going on, and her killing intent soared. ¡°Reporting¡­¡­, Ju Xiang, she¡­¡­, she is dead!¡± Someone quickly came forward to report, and dragged a corpse from the middle of the crowd. Ye Chuan took a quick look and saw that it was that maid with a ponytail who was beside Liu Hong in the past. Everyone made an uproar, finally confirmed that this really was a vicious trap. Since framing Ye Chuan was a failure, they immediately killed a witness to silence them. ¡°Heh heh, good, very good action!¡± Ye Chuan coldly smiled, and now he truly had murderous intentions. Since this ponytail maid was dead, there was no way to draw out Yi Suo and Jin Zhikun, and the lead also has broken off all of a sudden. Now he couldn¡¯t take advantage of the situation to tear them up by the root. But, it was good like this too, the more powerful and the more vicious the opponents are, it was that more enjoyable to play. This game is getting more and more interesting! Ye Chuan sneered, after reincarnation, he finally met a slightly decent opponent! Yi Suo as well as Jin Zhikun and Third Elder behind him were cunning, crafty, despicable, sinter and ruthless, but he like that! In this life, if he wants to step foot in the summit again, then he needed Nan Tiandu and Zhu Sijia like helpers, and moreover also needs powerful opponents! Chapter 80: Heaven Shaking Sword Chapter 80: Heaven Shaking Sword The storm went away as fast as it came. People began to disperse in succession, returning to their respective campsite on the summit of the mountain, and Eagle Beak Cliff which was as high as piercing into the clouds quickly calmed down. But, even though it was seemingly calm on the surface, great waves were secretly rising from all directions. Who laid out this trap? Who wanted to seize the opportunity to kill Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect? The heart of everyone was doubtful, and each disciple of three sects had their own views. Some time ago, Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong had personally gone to Cloud Mist Sect, and passing off Big Bird as his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao, he wanted to humiliate Ye Chuan and Cloud Mist Sect, but he wasn¡¯t able to humiliate them, instead he himself was humiliated, this matter had already spread all over Cloud Mist Mountain Range long ago. And after the storm of Mangrove forest, people quickly associated this matter with Tuoba Xiong. With the power of Black Cauldron Sect and their unscrupulous style, laying out this trap to kill somebody with a borrowed knife was very likely. This way, they can eliminate Ye Chuan to get revenge, and also can frame Five Style Sect, making Cloud Mist Sect and Five Style Sect fight to the death, killing two birds with one stone! In addition to this gossip, there was another rumor that everything was the plan of Five Style Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Gushan Leng. Seeing Ye Chuan and Liu Hong flirting, he burned with jealousy, and thought to seize the opportunity to kill Ye Chuan, self-edited and self-acted. Unfortunately, at the final juncture, Liu Hong sobered up with the help of Ye Chuan, failing to build a mound for want of one final basket of an earth. All kinds of rumor rapidly spread among the disciples of three sects, and the relation between three great sects became even more subtle. Ye Chuan returned to the campsite and slept. He was noncommittal to all kinds of rumor, and also didn¡¯t speak out his doubts to Zhu Sijia and others. Facing fatty and Zhu Sijia¡¯s detailed inquiry, he only said one word, wait. The rumors suddenly rose from all direction, and as if burning raging flame, the rumors were getting worse and worse, obviously, someone was seizing the opportunity to fan the flames. If only the Great Competition came over, everything would have naturally vanished like smoke and dispersed like clouds. As for Yi Suo and Jin Zhikun, surely they were now quite willing to continue doing evil, as not long ago, they had completely failed. In the latter half of the night, all kinds of rumors slowly disappeared. Next day, Great Competition continued as scheduled, and three great sects focused on life and death arena once again. Early in the morning, Ye Chuan led everybody and came to life and death arena as if nothing had happened, and calmly waited for the arrival of the competition. And to the surprise of everyone, Yi Suo was also following behind them. No one knew when he returned to the campsite, but now he was standing behind everyone with honest appearance, merely he had medicinal herbs smeared on his neck, and he didn¡¯t utter a single word. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, where did you go last night? There are turmoil and chaos of war, don¡¯t walk around wildly everywhere, be careful.¡± Ye Chuan stepped forward and asked with a look of concern. ¡°Thank you for your concern, senior apprentice-brother, I went to pick a medicinal herb to treat my throat.¡± Yi Suo replied, although his voice was still rather sharp, but already was a lot better, no longer was an amusing sweet female voice. ¡°How are you feeling now?¡± ¡°A lot better.¡± One asking and the other answering, Ye Chuan was smiling with concerned appearance, and Yi Suo answered in earnest without a shred of previous high spirit. After the storm of Mangrove forest, Yi Suo was not quite willing, and in accordance with his temper, he wanted to directly kill Ye Chuan without enduring his temper at all. But under the pressure of Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun, he was forced to endure again, and pretending to know nothing, he had to continue staying beside Ye Chuan, looking for a chance. Endure, continue to endure! This is the only way to kill Ye Chuan and pull him down from the throne of sect¡¯s Big Disciple! Yi Suo endured humiliation in order to carry out an important mission. Yi Suo didn¡¯t shed all pretense of cordiality, wanting to keep pretending, so Ye Chuan naturally accompanied him. Pretend, continue to pretend, let¡¯s see what trick you have next! Ye Chuan sized up Yi Suo with a smile, then turned away. On life and death arena, three arbitrators drew lots, and today¡¯s first match again happens to be Cloud Mist Sect versus Black Cauldron Sect. An expert of Black Cauldron Sect quickly jumped into the life and death arena. He was carrying a thousand jin heavy mace on his shoulder, and he easily brandished it all of a sudden, trying to demoralize his opponent by a show of strength. Yesterday, Ye Chuan sent two weaklings in succession, and lost both matches in succession, but what about today? Will he still continue to voluntarily admit defeat? Everybody curiously looked towards Ye Chuan. Even Protector Yang was the same. He was also rather unable to guess the plan of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak, just slowly looked at Zhu Sijia, fatty and others. Seeing Ye Chuan was looking towards him, the fat meat of fatty trembled, and he said bitterly, ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, is it me again? It¡¯s not that junior apprentice-brother doesn¡¯t want to help you, but honestly¡­¡­¡± Experiencing one narrow escape was more than enough for fatty, he truly didn¡¯t want to retry, and no longer dare to climb onto the life and death arena. ¡°Rest assured, fatty, it¡¯s not you, senior apprentice-brother, I have a plan.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, truly relieving fatty. And after pausing for a bit, Ye Chuan looked at Nan Tiandu and said, ¡°This battle is extremely important, so losing is not the option. If we lose this match, then we don¡¯t need to fight next matches, and I, senior apprentice-brother will have to personally cut off my arm. The cultivation of this fellow of Black Cauldron Sect is at least Rank 3 Xiushi, junior apprentice-brother Tiandu, if you fight, then do you have certainty?¡± ¡°Nine moves, at most in nine moves, I will kill him!¡± Nan Tiandu stepped forward bravely. His stature was tall and straight as if an unsheathed sharp sword. ¡°Good, go!¡± Ye Chuan instructed. Nan Tiandu slightly bowed, then he leaped in the air, and the instant his body fell, he lightly stepped on the head of one young disciple with his tiptoe, and just like a raptor, he directly jumped onto the life and death arena. And the audience suddenly gave a warm applause. The disciple of Black Cauldron Sect wanted to demoralize his opponent by the show of strength, and the mace he carried on his shoulder had made people apprehensive, but Nan Tiandu stepping forward bravely was by no means inferior. ¡°Hahaha, come, let¡¯s have 300 bouts of battle. Finally, a decent opponent came out from so big Cloud Mist Sect, hahaha¡­¡­¡± The expert of Black Cauldron Sect roared with laughter, emitting a threatening aura. But suddenly, an ice-cold sword light appeared in front of him, and a rhythmic and sonorous sound of Nan Tiandu unsheathing his sword resounded beside his ear. ¡°Why are you speaking so much nonsense, kill!¡± Nan Tiandu was expressionless, and without greeting, he directly made a fatal attack. The cultivation of this expert of Black Cauldron Sect was also not shallow, and had rich experience, but even he was unable to clearly see the movement of Nan Tiandu drawing his sword. Being greatly surprised, he subconsciously raised his heavy mace to block. And after the metal colliding sound, Nan Tiandu quickly retreated, and just like a stone statue, he stood motionlessly 10 meters away. As for the expert of Black Cauldron Sect, his hand was tingling, and a long crack had appeared on the mace he was very proud of. ¡°Coming again!¡± The eyes of Nan Tiandu flashed with pallid light, and he attacked again. With a sword stab, the entire life and death arena was swept over by sword qi, as if someone had laid out a powerful sword formation. And heaven shaking killing intent spread all over. Dingding, the metal colliding sound resounded in life and death arena, and the expert of Black Cauldron Sect who had tried to demoralize his opponent by a show of strength was exhausted warding off the blows, instantly facing dangers from all around him. ¡°Heaven Shaking Sword, this is the legendary Heaven Shaking Sword!¡± ¡°Powerful, when did such genius appear in Cloud Mist Sect?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Off the life and death arena, people were greatly surprised. No one had thought that the people of Cloud Mist Sect that couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow and had lost two matches in succession yesterday would suddenly jump out to attack so ruthlessly today. And the heart of some people with vast knowledge shook as they quickly recognized the technique of Nan Tiandu. ¡°Four¡­¡­¡± ¡°Five¡­¡­¡± When the hearts of people were shaking, Ye Chuan was leisurely counting. And when his count reached nine, the battle of life and death arena suddenly stopped. Nan Tiandu stood still and the expert of Black Cauldron Sect confronting him collapsed with a bang, and his body separated into three parts. Neither too much nor too little, he just attacked nine times. After Heaven Shaking Sword came out, who dares to contend against him! Off the life and death arena, people had their eyes wide open in silence. All of them were finding hard to believe what they had just seen. Shortly afterward, applause resounded. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Five Style Sect cheered loudly, and as for the people of Black Cauldron Sect, they were silent. The complexion of Sect Master Tuoba Xiong become even more ashen, and his gaze looking towards Ye Chuan become even more malicious. Chapter 81: Transmitting technique Chapter 81: Transmitting technique Nan Tiandu greatly shocked everyone. Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect urgently discussed, then postponed the next matches to the afternoon, so that they could urgently discuss the means to deal with Nan Tiandu. In Da Qin Dynasty, the mighty name of Heaven Shaking Sword was long-standing. According to the legend, the first Da Qin King was an outer disciple of Heaven Shaking Sect, merely a recruit, and then relying on this one move, he killed the Gods if Gods blocked him, killed Buddhas if Buddhas blocked him, conquering so big dynasty. And millions of years ago, the first Da Qin King had already died long ago, and Heaven Shaking Sect had already become history, moreover, this technique had lost forever. But who would have thought that this technique which was supposed to be lost forever was being quietly cultivated by Nan Tiandu, and he had actually obtained Heaving Shaking Sword¡¯s heritage without the knowledge of anyone! Ye Chuan calmly agreed to the demand of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, then leading his group, he leisurely left. But after returning to the campsite, he immediately made fatty to look for Nan Tiandu. Looking up and down, he carefully observed Nan Tiandu for a while, then Ye Chuan lowered his voice: ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Tiandu, what layer of Heaven Shaking Sword did your cultivation reach?¡± Ye Chuan merely asked Nan Tiandu about his mastery over Heaven Shaking Sword, ignoring his cultivation. As a once Great Sage who was able to conceal heaven with his hand, he clearly understood that the cultivation realm in itself explains nothing very often, and the cultivation of technique was even more important. Nan Tiandu who had just entered inside the tent from outside was startled, and his heart greatly shook, as if he was seeing Ye Chuan for the first time. Heaven Shaking Sword had nine moves altogether, many people knew this, but Heaven Shaking Sword was still divided into several layers heart law, and very few people knew about this. Although he already knew this Big senior apprentice-brother, Ye Chuan was not simple, and he had also heard about his Heaven Shaking Sword, but Nan Tiandu still couldn¡¯t help but was shocked in his heart. And after thinking for a bit, he answered, ¡°First layer, I still have yet to completely master the essence of Heaven Shaking Sword.¡± ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Ye Chuan looked at Nan Tiandu with a smile yet not a smile. Proud, aloof and indifferent Nan Tiandu who wouldn¡¯t bat an eyelid even when a mountain collapsed in front of him, seeing this smiling expression of Ye Chuan, he suddenly was somewhat perturbed. Even after thinking, he didn¡¯t understand why Big senior apprentice-brother had suddenly called him here. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, are you worried that Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect will send an even more powerful expert, and worried that I will not be his opponent?¡± Nan Tiandu asked. ¡°You will not be his opponent, now that is still very hard to say, but Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect will send an elite expert, that is certain.¡± Ye Chuan paused, then said in low voice: ¡°In these last few years, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect are becoming more prosperous every day, and they have deliberately planned and prepared Great Competition of this time to suppress our Cloud Mist Sect. First, they pointed out that I, Big Disciple of the sect have to go into battle, and second, they naturally are determined to win the Great Competition of this time. Nan Tiandu, your cultivation is pretty good, Heaven Shaking Sword is even rarer deadly move, and you can sweep through the same realm of Xiushi. But, this is still not enough, I don¡¯t want only some certainty, rather absolute certainty!¡± The eyes of Nan Tiandu lit up, then looking at Ye Chuan, he said, ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, what method do you have?¡± Talking to a wise man really is simple! Ye Chuan stood up, then holding a dry twig, he indifferently said: ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Tiandu, look carefully!¡± Ye Chuan who had still not stepped into life and death arena began to make a move in front of few people, suddenly brandishing the dry twig upward. And the dry twig in his hand suddenly made a whirring sound, just like it had changed into a bone-chilling sharp sword. After that, he lightly stabbed to the front, and a fierce energy fluctuation suddenly rose inside the tent, the air distorted, and a shadow of dragon faintly appeared. Heaven Shaking Sword, First Form, Slaughtering Dragon Hand? Nan Tiandu exclaimed, and was incomparably shocked in his heart! This mediocre in former days, Big senior apprentice-brother Ye Chuan, who had still yet to breakthrough to Xiushi realm, how did he know Heaven Shaking Sword which only he knew and was already lost in Wilderness World long ago? Could it be that, Big senior apprentice-brother Ye Chuan is also the inheritor of Heaven Shaking Sect? Or, he had luckily obtained the inheritance left behind by the expert of Heaven Shaking Sword? Nan Tiandu stared with his eyes wide open. He had horrified expression, which slowly changed into surprise, and then puzzled. Ye Chuan continued to brandish the dry twig with very slow movements. Looking at these movements, the moves and the first form gave Nan Tiandu a familiar feeling, precisely was his life technique, Heaven Shaking Sword. But, after carefully looking for a while, he again discovered that this was different to some extent with his own cultivation, apparently right but actually wrong. Same move Slaughtering Dragon Hand, in the hand of Ye Chuan, the posture was simple, but the momentum was even more flourishing. His single stab looked as if it was about to pierce through the tent and pierce a hole in the sky. When the momentum was most flourishing, the sharp end shook, giving rise to countless changes, as if he wanted to use next move of Heaven Shaking Sword, and again looked as if he wanted to use the same kind of move to stage a comeback, truly was hard to tell if it was real or sham, eternally changing. Nan Tiandu who was always ambitious and proud suddenly watch intently. And after an unknown period of time, Nan Tiandu who was watching the slow movements of Ye Chuan woke up suddenly, then forcing his mind to calm down, he began comprehending. Very soon, he was immersed in the world of cultivation. Even though he was standing still, the move and form of Ye Chuan however reflected in his brain, and inside his brain, together with Ye Chuan, he began to perform a sword dance. Without a sword in his hand, but with sword only in his heart, vast spiritual power within his body began to circulate quickly. And with his spiritual power getting entangled together, sometimes it condensed into a ball and sometimes it changed into an indistinct flying sword. While cultivating, people will not have any sense of time, and even thousands of years would seem like only an instant. Nan Tiandu who was intoxicated in cultivation vaguely heard loud shouting voice beside his ear, and he woke up. His height and facial features hadn¡¯t changed, merely his entire body was drenched, and he had unconsciously surmounted the bottleneck and broke through to Rank 4 Xiushi. And looking inside himself carefully, he was stupefied all of a sudden. Inside his dantian, don¡¯t know when but now there was a small flying sword suspended inside. It was the Spirit Flying Sword that was purely condensed out of spiritual power! ¡°Spirit Flying Sword, this¡­¡­, this really is Spirit Flying Sword!¡± Nan Tiandu was wild with joy, condensing a Spirit Flying Sword, this was the sign of reaching the second layer in the cultivation of Heaven Shaking Sword. From this time on, his cultivation embarked on a new path, entering an even wider world! ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Tiandu, congratulations.¡± The faint voice of Ye Chuan came over, ¡°Condensing a Spirit Flying Sword, now you are the true successor of Great Sage Heaven Shaking, but, this is far from the endpoint. Real Heaven Shaking Sword, doesn¡¯t have only three layers of heart law, rather fully have nine layers. Now you are at the second layer, so continue to strive.¡± The entire body of Ye Chuan was also drenched, and he had exhausted complexion. It seems, although he was brandishing the sword moves very slowly, but it in fact was consuming a lot of spiritual power to display all the wonders of Heaven Shaking Sword. In former years, he and Heaven Shaking Great Sage had fought each other for three days and three nights in Heaven Concealing Peak, finally, not only he defeated Heaven Shaking Great Sage who considered himself the best of the world at that time, he was also able to completely see through his life technique, Heaven Shaking Sword. Now all under the heaven, in the understanding of Heaven Shaking Sword, other than Heaven Shaking Great Sage himself, he, Heaven Concealing Great Sage of former years knew it the best. ¡°Many thanks, Big senior apprentice-brother!¡± Nan Tiandu stood up, then respectfully bowed to Ye Chuan. He was still puzzled in his heart, wondering how Ye Chuan could understand so deeply about Heaven Shaking Sword. But, that was not important at all, he only knew that Ye Chuan helped him to breakthrough the critical bottleneck, making him take the most important first step to become Heaven Shaking Great Saint of this generation. This Spirit Flying Sword, just like the Heaven Swallowing Talisman within the body of Ye Chuan, was a sign of stepping into true cultivation path. Chapter 82: Three moves Chapter 82: Three moves ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s voice came from outside the tent, and said with an embarrassed face: ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, Black Cauldron Sect is urging again, if we don¡¯t go now, then they will declare that we forfeited the match.¡± Unconsciously it was already noon. After pulling down the curtain of the tent, Ye Chuan and Nan Tiandu stayed inside the tent without making any noise, and nobody knew what they were doing inside. But fatty who was responsible for passing on the messages was unlucky, as after the agreed time, now Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were already impatient and were sending people to urge them to come quite a few times, but Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t answer, leaving him in an awkward predicament. And being forced to run over here and again run over there, his face was streaming with sweat. ¡°This is already the ninth time they are urging.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and said, ¡°In any case, junior apprentice-brother Tiandu, do you need a break?¡± ¡°No, Big senior apprentice-brother, please!¡± Nan Tiandu was high-spirited. Before he had made a breakthrough, he was already not putting the people of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect in his eyes, but now that he had already made a breakthrough as well as condensed a Spirit Flying Sword, he was even more confident! ¡°Good, then let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, then leading the people, he came to life and death arena once again. And the personnel of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect who were waiting for a long time made an uproar in impatience. On the life and death arena, three arbitrators came forward and drew lots, and the results of drawn lots came very quickly. This time, Cloud Mist Sect was not selected, it was Black Cauldron Sect versus Five Style Sect. The experts of both sects went up into the arena and fought at close quarters. And after a dangerous content, the expert of Black Cauldron Sect narrowly won the match. He himself was dripping with blood and was seriously injured, but the expert of Five Style Sect had kicked the bucket. In life and death arena, living or dying was left to the fate. Along with the progress of competition, the matches of three great sects had become more and more intense and fierce. Blood was seen in every battle and until death, they didn¡¯t stop. The bloody life and death arena made people feel fear as well as excited. The disciples of winning Black Cauldron Sect cheered loudly with great momentum. But the disciples of Five Style Sect were silent, and Yi Suo who was standing behind Ye Chuan was also silent without uttering a single word to any people. He was waiting, waiting for an opening to attack Ye Chuan with one fatal move. Ye Chuan also was waiting, waiting for Yi Suo and hidden Jin Zhikun to give themselves away. If they openly attack, he will block directly, and even if they scheme in secret, he was not afraid in the slightest. After the simple cleaning of life and death arena, the third match of today began. This time, it was Cloud Mist Sect versus Five Style Sect, this was the fourth match of Cloud Mist Sect and also the crucial match to decide the alignment of their situation. If won, then Could Mist Sect would have won two matches, and their rank would soar to the second place from the last place, threatening the first place Black Cauldron Sect. If lost, then perhaps they would suffer a crushing defeat, with no chance of improvement from later matches. In this match, who will Ye Chuan send? Zhu Sijia with a sexy figure or he himself will personally enter the arena? Ye Chuan who had led a group of people into the battle became the center of attention once again. The expert of Five Style Sect took the lead to enter the arena. His body suddenly became dim, and disappeared using Wind Style. And in an instant, with a cold wind, he directly appeared on the life and death arena which was 100 meters away from him. When entering the arena, he put a good use of Five Style Sect¡¯s technique, obtaining a heaven shaking applause. He had cultivated Wind Style to the highest degree of perfection. Although he was not abnormal to the level of Five Style Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Gushan Leng, but he was also outstanding. ¡°Five Style Sect, Five Style Sect!¡± ¡°Kill, completely wipe out Cloud Mist Sect, kill!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Off the life and death arena, people applauded as if tides, and this expert of Five Style Sect made the show of his strength on life and death arena, but the participant of Cloud Mist Sect still hadn¡¯t come on the arena. So very soon, people off the life and death arena made an uproar. Ye Chuan completely ignored the uproar of people, he calmly waited for a good while, then turning around, he looked towards Nan Tiandu who was standing behind him and said indifferently: ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Tiandu, how many moves this time?¡± ¡°Three moves, rest assured, Big senior apprentice-brother, within three moves, junior apprentice-brother, I will kill him!¡± Nan Tiandu answered, calling Big senior apprentice-brother from the bottom of his heart. This time, he directly jumped into the life and death arena, and stood in front of Five Style Sect. ¡°You again?¡± The expert of Five Style Sect on the life and death arena was somewhat surprised, then he said with a ferocious expression: ¡°Come, that fellow of Black Cauldron Sect of this morning was trash. Let me show you the power of my Five Style Sect¡¯s Five Style. See how¡­¡­¡± Cold sword light suddenly streak across the sky. Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t utter a word, and quickly pulling out his Black Inscription Sword, he dashed towards the expert of Five Style Sect. After climbing onto the life and death arena, it was life and death battle, so what¡¯s the need of so much nonsense? The Black Inscription Sword in the hand of Nan Tiandu flashed with cold sword light, then raising his hand, without any expression, he ruthlessly used a fatal attack. With a sword stab, a dragon appeared in the air above the life and death arena, then a faint dragon roaring sound resounded. This was the same move Dragon Slaughtering Hand which he had used in the morning, but the might however was far more powerful than before! After Ye Chuan transmitted the technique to him inside the tent, in the extremely short period of time, Nan Tiandu¡¯s strength had soared. The complexion of Five Style Sect¡¯s expert who was making a show of his strength on life and death arena just a moment ago changed all of a sudden, then immediately using Wind Style, he narrowly dodged the dangerous attack of Nan Tiandu. And just when he appeared at the opposite corner of life and death arena, fierce and powerful sword light again whistled towards him. This was as swift and violent as a thunderbolt. And this time, he didn¡¯t have time to even use Wind Style to dodge. ¡°Brat, I will stake it all to kill you, kill¡­¡­¡± The expert of Five Style Sect became stern in both voice and countenance, then he suddenly raised the sword in his hand to block. With a ¡®ding¡¯ sound, Black Inscription Sword of Nan Tiandu was broken into two, due to this collision. Black Inscription Sword wasn¡¯t a common sword, but the sword in the hand of Five Style Sect¡¯s expert was even rarer treasure, so under the violent impact, the superiority and inferiority among the two swords were immediately revealed. ¡°Hahaha, what Heaven Shaking Sword, it¡¯s only this much, haha¡­¡­¡± The expert of Five Style Sect was wild with joy and roared with laughter. And when his laughter was still reverberating, he suddenly felt pain in his chest. Lowering his head to look, he saw that he was bleeding like a pig from his chest, as his entire chest was penetrated by some kind of sharp weapon. His laughter suddenly stopped, and confusedly looking at Nan Tiandu, he collapsed to the ground with a bang. Off the life and death arena, coincidentally all people stood up simultaneously, and everyone was greatly surprised. The overwhelming majority of people were looking with their eyes wide open. Not even a dozen of people clearly saw how Nan Tiandu did this. Even the three arbitrators sitting at life and death arena only saw a ray of red light bursting out from the body of Nan Tiandu with great difficulty, and then, the expert of Five Style Sect had already died in one attack! There was no sword in his hand, so, was that heart sword? Nan Tiandu who had condensed Spirit Flying Sword as well as broken through to Rank 4 Xiushi had already stepped into a new realm. Now once awe-inspiring Black Inscription Sword was already dispensable for him. Unfortunately, this expert of Five Style Sect didn¡¯t know this point, and after chopping Black Inscription Sword of Nan Tiandu, he thought he was sure to win, but that was just the beginning of his tragedy. Three moves! Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t renege, he really killed Xiushi realm expert with only three moves in public. With him as a vanguard, there were no enemies. He alone made the younger generation disciples of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect feel cold in their heart! ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, junior apprentice-brother luckily accomplished the mission!¡± Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t make the show of his abilities to show off, instead, directly jumped off the life and death arena and respectfully stood behind Ye Chuan in silence. Instantly, people looked over towards Ye Chuan with their gaze full of surprise, envy and doubts. No one had ever thought that such an exceptionally talented genius was actually so docile and respectful in front of Ye Chuan. Could it be that Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect have some other background, or is a hidden genius? Now people looked at Ye Chuan, who was famous as mediocre in former days, with new eyes. And the gaze of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong also glimmered. No one knew what crook plan he was thinking. Chapter 83: God King Armor Chapter 83: God King Armor The initially planned next round of the match was once again postponed to evening by Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect. Towards such rude demand of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect naturally burned with anger and felt aggrieved, and Protector Yang also argued strongly on strong grounds. But the leader Ye Chuan nevertheless was indifferent, calmly agreeing to this demand once again. ¡°Brat, I didn¡¯t expect, even though your cultivation is not up to much, you are still somewhat brave.¡± Tuoba Xiong smirked and said, coldly staring at Ye Chuan. To make Cloud Mist Sect agree to this rude demand, he was prepared to use force, so regardless of his status, he personally stepped forward, preparing for the worst situation. But outside his exception, Ye Chuan readily agreed to his demand without arguing at all, making all the preparation of Tuoba Xiong go to waste. ¡°You flatter me, Your Excellency father-in-law. Your appearance also is not up to much, but surprisingly, you gave birth to a fine daughter, I love.¡± Ye Chuan evilly smiled, intentionally looking towards Tuoba Xiaoniao who was standing behind Tuoba Xiong. Then leading everyone, he swaggered off. Behind, the face of Tuoba Xiaoniao became red to her ears, and now she was too ashamed to face anyone. And as for Tuoba Xiong, his lungs were bursting with rage, and he angrily said, ¡°Damned brat, you¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiong was flustered and exasperated, finally understanding the meaning of crushing one¡¯s foot while trying to maneuver a rock. His chest rose and fell rapidly, and he nearly chased after Ye Chuan and personally attack him regardless of his status. The disciples of Five Style Sect laughed up their sleeve and talked in whispers. And as for the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, they were endlessly embarrassed. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, should¡­¡­¡± Hong Lie stepped forward, and emitting dense killing intent, he was ready to make trouble, as well as seize the chance to ingratiate himself. ¡°Get lost, both of you are Big Disciple, but why is there such a huge gap?Can¡¯t you grow a little brain?¡± Tuoba Xiong roared loudly, then waving his hand, he left. Although it was rather rude to postpone the matches, but it didn¡¯t count as a violation of the rules. But, if he attacked outside the life and death arena in the presence of all, then first, no need to speak about whether he could kill Ye Chuan or not, will he, Tuoba Xiong be able to mingle with others hereafter? Hong Lie had outstanding cultivation in young age, so he, Tuoba Xiong conferred him the position of sect¡¯s Big Disciple. And compared to Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, he had always been proud of Hong Lie in the past, but now, seeing Hong Lie, Tuoba Xiong was not happy in his heart. Both of them were Big Disciple, and were similar in age, but look at how Ye Chuan act? He smiles looking at a stormy situation, and solely strategize to dupe other people. Moreover, under his control, numerous junior apprentice-brothers and sisters were completely obedient. By contrast, looking at Hong Lie, this Big Disciple of Black Cauldron Sect, people duped him instead. On the first fight, he won without fighting. Moreover, the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect were merely feigning compliance to him. And he could never bring together the power of sect. The angrier he got in his heart, the faster he walked, but he didn¡¯t return to the campsite of Black Cauldron Sect, rather stealthily sneaked into the campsite of Five Style Sect when no one was paying attention, then had secret talks with the Great Elder, Elder Tu of Five Style sect. The Sect Master of Five Style Sect was busy for the time being, as he had gone to Bluestone mine to excavate the underground hidden treasure, so in Eagle Beak Cliff, Elder Tu was the person in charge of Five Style Sect. ¡°Elder Tu, we cannot let Cloud Mist Sect continue to win like this.¡± Tuoba Xiong came straight to the point, although Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were always on bad terms, even to the extent that they fought intensely, but both of them were unwilling to see Cloud Mist Sect left to grow strong and unruly. When all was said and done, Cloud Mist Sect was different from both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect. Cloud Mist Sect possessed long history and inheritance. Although it was steadily deteriorating under the joint attack of both great sects in these last few years, but if they acquired a chance to take a breather, then perhaps they would immediately make a comeback. And once its strength was restored to the peak of its golden age, then there will not be any place for both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect to have a foothold in this entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range. The reason why they deliberately pointed out Big Disciple of the sect should personally lead the group to go into the battle in this Great Competition was for the sake of humiliating and again suppressing Cloud Mist Sect. So Tuoba Xiong naturally would not give Ye Chuan a chance of turning over. ¡°Difficult, difficult, very difficult!¡± Elder Tu shook his head, then showing the signs of reluctance, he said in a lowered voice: ¡°All said that the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan was mediocre and stupid. But now, although his cultivation is not up to much, but his intelligence¡­¡­, heh heh, I fear he is far superior compared to the Big Disciple of your Black Cauldron Sect and my Five Style Sect. And the even more surprising matter was, Cloud Mist Sect actually had someone who had secretly obtained the inheritance of Heaven Shaking Sword. He can sweep over all the experts within the same realm as him. Who can deal with such genius? Your Excellency Sect Master, do you have any wise opinion?¡± The entire face of Elder Tu was filled with wrinkles, but he was young at heart though advanced in age, and was a crafty, cunning person. He immediately pushed this problem to Tuoba Xiong. Tuoba Xiong was well aware in his heart, and said with a cold smile, ¡°Elder Tu, less nonsense, I have a God King Armor, it can stop the attack of heaven grade weapons. This matter is no small matter, if Cloud Mist Sect obtains the first position, then perhaps they might flourish with this great momentum, thereupon becoming more prosperous every day and ultimately becoming the ruler of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. At that time, both of us will be having a bad time. So if you have a good thing, quickly take it out now!¡± Tuoba Xiong really wanted Ye Chuan to die, so without hesitation, he took out a heavy armor with black lights wandering around it. This was God King Armor, was the armor he had inadvertently robbed from a loose Xiushi expert more than 10 years ago. It was impervious to sword or spear, and was his most treasured treasure. Usually, he was even reluctant to take out this armor for his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao. But now, for the sake of dealing with Ye Chuan who was the representative of Cloud Mist Sect, he had no choice but take it out. ¡°Well, Your Excellency Sect Master is indeed heroic!¡± Elder Tu greedily looked at God King Armor in the hand of Tuoba Xiong, then somewhat hesitating, he took out a blood-red lance from his space ring, ¡°This is Blood Lance that I relied upon to make a name for myself. Wearing God King Armor, and holding this Blood Lance, the cultivation of any disciple will rise sharply. With these two treasures, regardless of the disciple of your Black Cauldron Sect or my Five Style Sect, once they enter the arena, he will absolutely be able to kill that genius of Cloud Mist Sect, seizing the manual of Heaving Shaking Sword!¡± ¡°Hahaha, good, good, Elder Tu really is frank!¡± Tuoba Xiong laughed heartily, and his complexion was ferocious, as if he was already seeing Cloud Mist Sect ranking last, and Ye Chuan having no choice but to personally cut off his arm in the presence of all. ¡°You are flattering me, you are flattering me, Your Excellency Sect Master, the matter we speak about last time¡­..¡± Both big shots discussed the matters that were not fit to be seen or revealed inside the tent. Meanwhile, in a secluded cave, Yi Suo respectfully bowed to masked Jin Zhikun. ¡°Your Excellency Hall Master, the circumstance is not right, Nan Tiandu is too powerful, like this¡­¡­¡± The complexion of Yi Suo was malicious. Seeing Nan Tiandu winning two matches easily, Zhu Sijia, fatty and others participants cheered and jumped in joy, and so were the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, but Yi Suo nevertheless had a gloomy face. Personal grudge had long been above the honor of the sect for him. ¡°I know all about it.¡± Jin Zhikun replied, saying nothing else but this in low voice. ¡°Your Excellency Hall Master, could it be that you want to helplessly look at Ye Chuan feeling exuberant. and him amazing the world with a single brilliant feat?¡± Yi Suo urgently said. He had faced the danger of being discovered to come and look for Jin Zhikun just get the ways to deal with Ye Chuan. But Jin Zhikun said nothing, so he couldn¡¯t help but become anxious all of a sudden. ¡°Endure, just endure, endure and again endure! Rest assured, Tuoba Xiong, that old fellow will not just sit by and watch. He will not let our Cloud Mist Sect have any chance to take a breather and rise to the prominence. What we must do is endure, and silently wait for a favorable opportunity. And once a chance appears, immediately¡­¡­¡± Jin Zhukun¡¯s eyes flashed with an ominous glint, then his right hand made a beheading sign. Yi Suo nodded his head and gritted his teeth to endure again! He knew that Great Competition lasts for only a few days, but he didn¡¯t know how long he could endure, and when he could avenge a past insult? Chapter 84: Dream of a swan Chapter 84: Dream of a swan In the evening, the last round of today¡¯s competition finally begun. The result of drawn lots quickly came out, it was Black Cauldron Sect versus Cloud Mist Sect, and hearing this announcement, Elder Tu of Five Style Sect secretly sighed in relief, and the complexion of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong nevertheless became gloomy. ¡°Go, call Hong Lie to come here!¡± Tuoba Xiong gave an order in a lowered voice. This battle was extremely important, so after thinking for a bit, he decided to send the most outstanding younger generation disciple of his sect, Hong Lie for this match. As the Big Disciple of Black Cauldron Sect, the latter should also answer the call of duty. Very quickly, Hong Lie arrived in front of Tuoba Xiong, then bowed, waiting for orders. Thinking about the situation, it was very likely for him to have a decisive battle with alarmingly powerful, millennium genius of Cloud Moist Sect, Nan Tiandu. Thinking this, he was somewhat excited as well as somewhat unsettled and perturbed. ¡°This is God King Armor, and this is Blood Lance, Hong Lie, take them.¡± Tuoba Xiong gave two treasures to Hong Lie, then said in a lowered voice: ¡°Kill, no matter who enters the arena from Cloud Mist Sect, kill him for me! If you win, then these two pieces of treasures will be yours, but if you lose, then you will have to step down from the position of sect¡¯s Big Disciple, and give it to more capable junior apprentice brother or sister!¡± The first half words of Tuoba Xiong made Hong Lie overjoyed in his heart, but the latter half made him sweat profusely. And the gazes of the surrounding disciples of Black Cauldron Sect looking at him began to become somewhat strange, sympathetic, gloating and even more were burning hot while glaring like a tiger eyeing its prey. Unlike Cloud Mist Sect, the Big senior apprentice-brother of Black Cauldron Sect was not selected on the basis of how long they had entered the sect, rather judged on the basis of strength. Whoever was strongest, that person would become Big senior apprentice-brother, and do whatever they like among the disciples. This kind of rule was somewhat abnormal, fell short of human logic, but this also made the younger generation of Black Cauldron Sect to train harder and emerge as a wolf and tiger. If he was unsuccessful then he had to die for a righteous cause, this vastly increased the pressure on Hong Lie all of a sudden. Sect Master Tuoba Xiong always had words of enormous weight, and in Black Cauldron Sect, no one dared to contradict and defy him, but after the command, Hong Lie strangely didn¡¯t answer immediately, hesitating for a moment, he mustered his courage and looking at Tuoba Xiong, he said: ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, if disciple win, disciple doesn¡¯t want any treasure, only has a request.¡± ¡°Oh, speak!¡± A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Tuoba Xiong. ¡°If I lose, then no matter how Sect Master punishes me, I, Hong Lie will not complain at all. But, if I win, then this disciple hope¡­¡­, hope that Sect Master will allow junior apprentice-sister Xiaoniao to marry me.¡± Hong Lie gritted his teeth and propose a marriage in the presence of all. As a sect¡¯s Big Disciple, his status was far above the ordinary disciples, and his potential was also infinite, but he was short and small, and was nothing special to look at, even to the extent that his appearance was somewhat wretched, still he had persistently, secretly loved Tuoba Xiaoniao who was just like a delicate endearing little bird. But, although he had done everything to please her in this period of time, he wasn¡¯t able to obtain the favor of Tuoba Xiaoniao, so he was endlessly worried. Within Black Cauldron Sect, everybody knew the wish their sect¡¯s Big Disciple Hong Lie had in his heart, but practically all of them were not optimistic. No need to look anything else, Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s appearance was too outstanding, and Hong Lie however was almost exactly the opposite, his appearance was too ugly. They two were basically not well matched. But even though everyone was not optimistic, Hong Lie himself however didn¡¯t admit failure, the more he couldn¡¯t obtain, the more persistently he wanted to obtain her. All said, a toad cannot eat the swan meat, but he didn¡¯t believe in this. If young and beautiful endearing little bird Tuoba Xioaniao was a swan, then not only he wanted to eat only one bite of swan meat as a toad, he wanted to eat many more bites, then soaring in the sky, he and Tuoba Xiaoniao would become a pair of swans! Just like, an ugly toad also had a dream of a swan, Hong Lie, this thin and small, wretched fellow had a very big dream. Normally, his wish was even harder than reaching the heavens, but now was doubtfully a rare chance. As long as Sect Master Tuoba Xiong agreed to this in the presence of all, then even if Tuoba Xiaoniao was unwilling, she would have no other choice. ¡°You¡­¡­, you want to marry my daughter?¡± Tuoba Xiong sneered. Hong Lie toughened his scalp and nodded his head, ¡°Yes, Your Excellency Sect Master, please help me achieve this!¡± ¡°Good, good, it is not difficult to marry my daughter, you just need to be capable. Go, win this Great Competition, and kill the people of Cloud Mist Sect for me!¡± Tuoba Xiong gave an order in a lowered voice, neither agreeing nor declining him. ¡°Thank you, Your Excellency Sect Master!¡± Hong Lie bowed respectfully, then wearing God King Armor and holding Blood Lance, he jumped onto the life and death arena with surging battle intent. This match was not for the sect but for himself! Who was Tuoba Xiaoniao? Not only was she the most beautiful female disciple of Black Cauldron Sect, she was also the beloved daughter of Sect master Tuoba Xiong. If he married her, no need to mention about getting to embrace a beauty, even his status would be incomparably consolidated, and it would practically be certain that he would become next Sect Master of Black Cauldron Sect! Although Hong Lie was short and small, but his ambitions were lofty, and was far higher than anyone of his peers. Although God King Armor and Blood Lance were very rare treasure, but his sight was by far not limited to such things. HuHuHu! After jumping on the life and death arena, Hong Lie used his strength to brandish the Blood Lance in his hand, giving rise to a fine blood mist. And that blood mist quickly condensed into a blood-red dragon. This dragon hovered around his body and let out a loud roar, instantly causing sand flying about and stones hurtling through the air above the life and death arena. And with God King Armor on his body, Hong Lie immediately looked as if he truly was an incarnation of a legendary immortal general, who was impervious to sword, spear and techniques, giving people a kind of undefeatable feeling. ¡°What¡¯s that? Five Style Sect¡¯s killing weapon Blood Lance, wasn¡¯t that the treasure of Elder Tu, how¡­¡­¡± ¡°What is Big senior apprentice-brother wearing, isn¡¯t that Sect Master¡¯s God King Armor which is impervious to swords and spears?¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The people off the life and death arena was greatly shocked. Blood Lance and God King Armor, one of these treasure double the strength of their user, and another treasure completely protects the body, so who can be his opponent now? Furthermore, these two were the killing weapons of Five Style Sect and Black Cauldron Sect respectively, so how could they suddenly appear on a single person? These two great sects had joined forces to not give even a slim chance of survival for Cloud Mist Sect! Everybody quickly understood what was going on here? The heart of fatty Zaho Dazhi, Zhu Sijia and others become heavy and they felt aggrieved. They had finally won two matches with great difficulty, but Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were clearly joining hands to deal with Cloud Mist Sect. They were truly shameless! ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, this won¡¯t do, this is unreasonable, isn¡¯t this obviously bullying us?¡± Fatty shouted. ¡°Why won¡¯t do, what rule of Great Competition did they violate?¡± Ye Chuan answered to fatty and others who were feeling aggrieved, but he nevertheless didn¡¯t care. In his eyes, Hong Lie who was making a show of his strength with a dense fighting intent on life and death arena was merely a clown that had taken the stage. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, then what should we do?¡± Zhu Sijia asked. Looking at Ye Chuan, she couldn¡¯t help but recalled that scene of him hugging Liu Hong in the mangrove forest, so she got angry, but she was still deeply worried about the current situation. The cultivation level of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Hong Lie was outstanding, and now, with God King Armor and Blood Lance, these two treasure, among the younger generation disciples of three great sects, who could be his opponent? Zhu Sijia frowned, if even Nan Tiandu also lost, then their Cloud Mist Sect would completely lose this entire Great Competition. And at that time, the prestige of their sect would suffer the damage and moreover Big senior apprentice-brother Ye Chuan have to immediately cut off his own arm personally in public. So how could she not be worried? ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Tiandu, how much certainty do you have?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t answer Zhu Sijia immediately, rather looked towards Nan Tiandu and asked. When people were shocked and feeling aggrieved, Nan Tiandu was silently standing just like a javelin as before without any change in expression. ¡°30%!¡± Nan Tiandu remained silent for a little while, then spat out two words. Zhu Sijia, fatty and others instantly became pale. Even Nan Tiandu had only 30% certainty, one could well imagine how dangerous this match would be! ¡°Haha, good, good, that¡¯s enough, 30% of certainty is enough!¡± Ye Chuan laughed, then taking out several things from his bosom, he squeezed them in the hands of Nan Tiandu, then instructed something in whispers. Nan Tiandu was somewhat doubtful, then his eyes gradually shone and burned with fighting intent. After that, bowing towards Ye Chuan, he casually held a flying sword and leaped onto the life and death arena, facing the overbearing Hong Lie. Chapter 85: Toad’s life Chapter 85: Toad¡¯s life ¡°You again? Hahaha, is there only one person that can fight from so big Cloud Mist Sect? What about your Big senior apprentice-brother, he has guts to lead a team to go into a battle but doesn¡¯t have the guts to enter the arena himself, what a coward? Hahaha¡­¡­¡± Hong Lie laughed heartily being arrogant and overbearing. He had already anticipated that Nan Tiandu would enter the arena, so it was no surprise to him. He couldn¡¯t help but say, Nan Tiandu was very strong, but despite being strong, he was also a younger generation disciple, so their cultivation level was not that far apart. So with God King Armor and Blood Lance, the fighting intent of Hong Lie was surging, and he was completely certain that he would be able to behead Nan Tiandu on the spot. Merely he had a regret that, Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t enter the arena so he would not be able to kill him in public. ¡°Want to fight with our Big senior apprentice-brother? You are not qualified!¡± Nan Tiandu with cold looks suddenly dashed forward, then took the initiative to attack. And just when the sonorous sound of sword drawing resounded, the sword tip was already in front of Hong Lie. Standing as if pine and moving as if wind! This move of Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t have any tricks, it was just fast, so fast that it was hard to believe. The complexion of Hong Lie changed. He clearly hadn¡¯t expected that Nan Tiandu would immediately attack without many words, and he hastily dodged. But ¡®ding¡¯ sound resounded, although he was able to immediately dodge being stabbed in the vital part, his shoulder however was stabbed by the sword of Nan Tiandu. Seeing this, the onlookers outside the life and death arena screamed, and each and every one of them inhaled a cold air, as they were amazed by this sharp and fast attack of Nan Tiandu. But in the next moment, an even more amazing scene appeared before them. Hong Lie who was stabbed by the sword was completely unscathed, and there was not even a sword mark in God King Armor he was wearing, instead, the sword in the hand of Nan Tiandu broke into two pieces. ¡°Haha, hahaha, this is God King Armor, the armor of God that fell from the heaven. Brat, what genius throughout all ages, now go to hell, hahaha¡­¡­¡± After getting dumbfounded seeing the result, Hong Lie laughed heartily, then with ferocious looks, he launched a series of fierce attacks with Blood Lance with earth-shaking momentum. In that instant just now, he was also scared witless seeing the alarming speed of Nan Tiandu, and thought his situation was anything but reassuring. But unexpectedly, God King Armor he had worn was far sturdier than he had expected! With a pair of such armor and an all-conquering lance, who can be his opponent? Hong Lie, who was now completely confident with his defense, so he initiated ferocious attacks without any defense. Now he was fearless and also not have any scruple. Nan Tiadu was still expressionless, and despite the sword in his hand breaking into two pieces, there was no trace of panic. He just used that broken sword to parry the attacks. Merely, comparing to Hong Lie who had two treasures, he was practically unarmed, so the gap in strength rapidly shortened, and he fell to the disadvantageous position. Under the ferocious attacks of Hong Lie, now he was in a perilous situation in an instant. ¡°Kill, kill him!¡± ¡°For our Black Cauldron Sect, kill!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. Off the life and death arena, the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect cheered loudly, and their morale soared. And as for the disciples of Five Style Sect, they also cheered, and were glad to see both Cloud Mist Sect and Black Cauldron Sect suffering. And as for the fatty, Zhu Sijia and others of Cloud Mist Sect, the complexion of each and every one of them was tense. A fine and continuous blood mist spread all over the life and death arena. Then, those blood mists condensed into an indistinctly visible dragon. This dragon hovered in the sky and roared towards Nan Tiandu, attacking both his body and soul. The more Hong Lie fought, then fiercer he became, and he slowly became capable of displaying the might of both God King Armor and Blood Lance. And as for Nan Tiandu, he retreated again and again in defeat with blood dripping from all over his body. Now he was already forced to the edge of life and death arena and was also already in the jaws of death. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, what should we do? Didn¡¯t you say there¡¯s a way?¡± Zhu Sijia worriedly asked, and her complexion became tenser and tenser. Now she was firmly clasping the hilt of her sword with her right hand. Fatty Zhao Dazhi was also anxious, and said worriedly: ¡°If senior apprentice-brother Tiandu is unable to withstand, then what should we do, Big senior apprentice-brother?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the right time has still not arrived yet, believe me, it¡¯s fine.¡± Ye Chuan was still calm, and was indifferent without any change in complexion. ¡°Believe you? The blood of Tiandu is running out, when will your right time come?¡± Zhu Sijia stamped her leg. She was angry seeing the indifferent face of Ye Chuan. If there is no solution to this, then Nan Tiandu would die and Ye Chuan had to personally cut off his arm. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, I believe you. Senior apprentice-sister Jiajia, don¡¯t worry, if Big senior apprentice-brother says it¡¯s fine, then it is definitely fine!¡± Fatty who was burning with impatience just a moment ago strangely became calm all of a sudden. He couldn¡¯t see Nan Tiandu escaping unscathed from this situation, but he believed in Ye Chuan, and also had absolute confidence in Ye Chuan. After selling that talisman in Ghost Market, Ye Chuan, this Big senior apprentice-brother was very unfathomable in his eyes. ¡°The only one who knows me is fatty. Unfortunately, you are a man, but if it was junior apprentice-sister Jiajia instead, then how good that would be.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, and Zhu Sijia immediately got angry, as here she was so worried about the match, but Ye Chuan was still cracking jokes. Zhu Sijia glared at Ye Chuan, and when she was just about to curse furiously, the circumstance of life and death arena suddenly changed. Nan Tiandu who was forced to the corner suddenly smiled coldly, then taking out a Smoke Wave Talisman from his bosom, he gently pinched it. Immediately afterward, this talisman suddenly released dense smoke which quickly spread outward. ¡°What is this? Brat, do you think you can escape unscathed playing with a little smoke?¡± Hong Lie was caught unprepared by this move, but with confidence provided by God King Armor which was impervious to sword or spear, he didn¡¯t retreat, instead advanced towards Nan Tiandu. After that, wanting to seize this chance to initiate a fatal blow, he stabbed towards the heart of Nan Tiandu with his lance. But in a blink of an eye, all around him became hazy and he was not able to see anything, losing the sight of Nan Tiandu. ¡°Fool!¡± Nan Tiandu coldly spat out a word, then taking out a Burst Talisman from his bosom, he directly punched Hong Lie. Then with a rumbling sound, as if a mountain fell sea cracked, and also like a volcanic eruption, the entire Eagle Beak Cliff swayed all of a sudden. And immediately afterwards, they vaguely saw a hint of dazzling gleam within the dense smoke, then horrible shriek as if pigs being slaughtered resounded. The mist rapidly dispersed, and the scene that surprised all the people appeared in front of them. On the life and death arena, the three arbitrators of the match were uninjured. But, originally overbearing Hong Lie however was securely nailed on the ground with a broken sword, and his God King Armor which was claimed to be impervious to sword or spear had slid down from his body. And his current appearance was just like that of thousand-year-old tortoise, whose body had fallen off from inside its tortoiseshell, appearing battered and exhausted. ¡°You cannot defeat even me, but you want to challenge our Big senior apprentice-brother. Roll out and return after cultivating 100 years!¡± Nan Tiandu coldly looked at Hong Lie who was barely alive, and he felt that it was beneath his dignity to seize this chance to attack and kill him. So he just picked up the fallen Blood Lance from the ground and jumped off the life and death arena. Off the life and death arena, people finally came to their senses, and began to discuss spiritedly. Tuoba Xiong¡¯s complexion became ashen, then snorting, he turned around and walked away. He didn¡¯t even take a single glance at Hong Lie on the arena. Now he was thoroughly depressed, and was also disappointed at Hong Lie, this Big Disciple of his sect. On the life and death arena, Hong Lie still hadn¡¯t died, still was barely alive, but his heart was like dead ashes and his limbs were ice-cold at this moment. Although he grew short and small, but he had lofty ambition, and had a dream of a swan in his heart. But now he was unable to change his toad life, and was doomed to have no hope of obtaining Tuoba Xiaoniao. After losing in this battle, he lost everything, and now it was absolutely impossible for him to get married with Tuoba Xiaoniao, moreover, he even lost the position of Sect¡¯s Big Disciple! The complexion of Tuoba Xiong was unsightly, and the complexion of Elder Tu of Five Style Sect was also same, and their face was aching. Not only their conspiracy to kill Nan Tiandu not succeed, he also lost Blood Lance, which was a great loss for him! Is this a miscalculation? Yi Suo was also feeling stifled at heart. With Nan Tiandu winning three matches, fatty, Zhu Sijia and others were very happy, but he nevertheless was even more depressed. Could it be that he really had to helplessly look at Ye Chuan having a limelight, and him amazing the world with a single brilliant in this Great Competition? Yi Suo was unwilling to do this, so he quietly left to look for Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun. On the other side, there was no excitement on the face of Nan Tiandu who had turned the tide, but after jumping off the life and death arena, he respectfully stood in front of Ye Chuan and respectfully presented Blood Lance, this spoils of war with both hands. Despite winning, he knew that he was merely the surface scenery, and the person who truly defeated Hong Lie was Big senior apprentice-brother Ye Chuan. Without those two talismans which defeated his opponent by a surprise move, he feared that he might have died in life and death arena this time. ¡°Well, this is a bit worse, cannot be considered something good, but I will reluctantly accept it, I can regard it as scrap metals, and sell it for few silvers.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and somewhat reluctantly accepted this Blood Lance which claimed to be all-conquering. Then looking at Elder Tu of Five Style Sect who was not far away, he had a smile yet not a smile. Personally entering the arena, he might not necessarily be the opponent of Hong Lie. And refining talismans was one thing, but could use those talismans to their full extent or not was another thing. But as a millennium genius, Nan Tiandu was obviously capable of this. After reincarnation, Ye Chuan had to start everything from the beginning again, but this still didn¡¯t affect Ye Chuan¡¯s capability of producing clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another. With time, he was convinced that he would surely create a greater glory. In the first life, he was only able to conceal heaven with his hand, but in this life, he will swallow the heaven. Not far away, Elder Yu just happens to look over towards them, and hearing the words of Ye Chuan, his heart bled. If Blood Lance couldn¡¯t be considered something good, and could only be regarded as scrap metal, then why don¡¯t you just return it back to me! Unfortunately, just like a fine meat that had reached the mouth wouldn¡¯t fall, it was easy to give away good things, but very hard to obtain it back. And seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s smile yet not a smile, Elder Tu knew that if he wants to obtain his Blood Lance back, then that would be very difficult. So his heart was distressed and he was also having a headache! Chapter 86: A cornered dog would jump over a wall Chapter 86: A cornered dog would jump over a wall After Sect Master Tuoba Xiong walked away, the people of Black Cauldron Sect were also unwilling to stay, and they dispersed one after another feeling dejected and depressed. As for the people of Five Style Sect, they also didn¡¯t have any interest to stay there, and under the leadership of Elder Tu, they also left. The dim light of night quickly shrouded the sky. Now there were only few lighting in the campsite of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, and their incomparably lively environment of two days ago was shrouded with melancholy. But as for the campsite of Cloud Mist Sect which used to be desolate in former days was now illuminated with bright red lights. This day was the happiest day for Cloud Mist Sect since the beginning of Great Competition, and was of immense satisfaction to them. Yesterday, Cloud Mist Sect had lost two matches, making all of them worried as well as depressed, but today they won three matches, and even defeated the Big Disciple of grand Black Cauldron Sect, so how could they not be excited and happy? After being suppressed for many years, Cloud Mist Sect that was steadily deteriorating finally felt proud and elated! And all of this was because of one person, Big senior apprentice-brother Ye Chuan. Before Great Competition, the entire sect was densely covered with melancholy, and not even one person had a good prospect towards this time¡¯s Great Competition. But Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were very serious, even to the extent that Sect Master came in person, as they had placed high hopes on this time¡¯s Great Competition. But within Cloud Mist Sect, people were evading responsibility and pushing it to others, and not even a single elder was willing to provide the support, merely dispatching a trivial protector to accompany them who was also working half-heartedly. But beyond the expectation of everyone, Cloud Mist Sect who had lost first two matches unexpectedly reversed the situation all of a sudden, winning three matches. Fatty Zaho Dazhi, Zhu Sijia and others were excited, and they celebrated all night. Even the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, who had privately rushed over to watch the competition, came to the campsite in succession to congratulate. And after hearing the news, many people of the sect were also rushing over to personally congratulate Ye Chuan, this Big senior apprentice-brother. In the five matches of Great Competition¡¯s Martial Competition, Ye Chuan still hadn¡¯t entered the arena in person. But, this didn¡¯t affect the respect of people towards Ye Chuan. As long as the group led by him seize the number one position of the Great Competition, they can push down Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, and this was more than enough for them to happy. This entire night, the campsite of Cloud Mist Sect was joyous. Many disciples of Cloud Mist Sect came here, and now were looking forward to the even more brilliant battles. Tomorrow was the final day of Martial Competition, and was also a very important day. Will Cloud Mist Sect continue to maintain the first position, and seize the number one position in Martial Competition for the first time? Or, will they suffered an unbridled suppression of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect? And, what kind of experts would these two sects dispatch? Now everybody was looking forward, as the battles that originally didn¡¯t have any suspense suddenly became suspenseful. Ye Chuan however was quietly sitting cross-legged inside his tent without participating in the carnival of fatty and other people. All the matches of today were basically within his expectation and control. He had deliberately not let Nan Tiandu enter the arena for the first two matches of the competition for this mighty counterattack. With Nan Tiandu being a millennium genius within the sect, as well as with the might of his Heaven Shaking Sword, plus those two talismans, winning three matches was nothing, if lost then that would be strange. They won three matches today, but what about tomorrow? Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground, reckoning silently. The Great Competition was not over yet, and just like don¡¯t pass judgment on a person¡¯s life until the lid is on the coffin, he couldn¡¯t be sure completely. Whether it was Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong or Five Style Sect¡¯s Elder Tu, both of them wouldn¡¯t sit still waiting for death, or sit by and watch Cloud Mist Sect scaling the summit. While others were enjoying the party to their heart¡¯s content, Ye Chuan was silently preparing for rainy days. And as if the weather was not cooperative, in the latter half of the night, there suddenly was a night rain, and pitter-patter sound resounded as rainwater hit the tents. But the people still celebrated and the dense wine fragrance rippled in the air. But at that time, Ye Chuan who was sitting cross-legged inside the tent suddenly heard a rustling sound. This was not the sound of rainwater falling on the ground, and also wasn¡¯t the sound of footsteps, rather was like the sound of river waves. Ye Chuan sat motionlessly, but his ears however got erect and he listed attentively as he felt somewhat ill at ease. 100 meters away, few disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were stepping on the bumpy path walking in the rain. Some were so drunk that they slipped and nearly fell to the ground; 30 meters away, the voice of fatty Zhao Dazhi could be heard. After being tipsy, he was hitting on junior apprentice-sister while laughing flippantly; 10 meters away, inside the neighbor tent, Zhu Sijia was flipping around unable to fall asleep. She was worried about the final two matches of tomorrow; 5 meters away, the outer sect disciple called Wu Yong was jogging over. He had a tray in his hand, and an oilcloth was covering some cooked dishes on this tray. He was diligently serving steaming hot food as before; ¡­¡­¡­ After sending out divine sense, Ye Chuan was able to clearly sense the rustle of leaves in the wind. Sensing everything seemed completely normal, he thought that that might just be his misconception. But just then, the changes suddenly appeared. The ground outside the tent suddenly overturned and path lines appeared on the ground. Moreover, soils rose slightly from underground and separate to both sides as if sea waves, then advanced towards the location of Ye Chuan¡¯s tent, as if there was a yao beast hidden underground. Using the dim light of night and rainwater, this rapidly approached. Finally, just three meters away, the soils suddenly blew up, and no less than seven black-robed people jumped out from underground, and each of them had a powerful crossbow in their hand and a sword on their back. The outer sect disciple of Wu Yong who was just delivering the food was dumbfounded, and his mind became blank. But just when he opened his mouth, it was already too late to shout, as an arrow from a crossbow had already pierced through his chest, giving rise to the bloody rain. After that, his body collapsed with a bang, and the food he had meticulously prepared for Ye Chuan also fell to the ground, and was submerged into ice-cold rainwater. Su Su Su! A wave of concentrated arrows whistled, and pierced through the tent of Ye Chuan. Seven black robed people quickly threw away their crossbows after firing arrows, then pulling out the swords on their back, they brandished the sword practically at the same time, tearing open the tent, and then they entered inside. Their movements were uniform, and their gaze was ice-cold and sharp, moreover, they didn¡¯t utter a single word and instantly unleashed fatal attacks. They obviously were first-rate assassins. Inside the tent riddled with gaping wounds, suddenly dense smoke rose, then a series of muffled groan resounded and the thick smell of blood spread out. ¡°Assassins, there are assassins!¡± ¡°Protect Big senior apprentice-brother!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect screamed, and drawing out their swords in succession, they charged, and some even used their flying sword, urgently whistling towards the location of Ye Chuan¡¯s tent. Zhu Sijia who was inside the neighbor tent jumped up with a start, then without even wearing her outerwear, she pulled out her sword and recklessly rushed inside the tent of Ye Chuan. Although her distance was close, but she was not the first person to rush inside the tent of Ye Chuan first, there was a person who was even faster than her, and even after arriving inside the tent first, Nan Tiandu was not able to see even one of those black robed people. Inside the tent, it was unusually quiet, and there was no sign of battle. There was nothing to see except the surging smoke above them. ¡°Ye Chuan, Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­, Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia was anxious, and her eyes suddenly got red, then tears began to flow out from her eyes. Usually, seeing Ye Chuan, she felt that he was not pleasing to the eye, but now that she couldn¡¯t find Ye Chuan and don¡¯t know whether he was dead or alive, she couldn¡¯t help but felt incomparably unwell in her heart. This feeling was just like suddenly losing the most precious thing in her life before any preparation. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, you cannot die, Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­, it¡¯s all my fault, drinking what wine, Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi also rushed in, then crying father and shouting mother, tears flowed out like a river, while firmly slapping himself several times. Originally, this evening was fatty¡¯s turn to guard, but being excessively fond of drinking, he handed over this matter to another Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciple for a little while. But he had never thought that, in that little while of a slip-up, there would be an accident. The heart of every disciple of Cloud Mist Sect who had rushed over after hearing the news became heavy all of a sudden. Only Yi Suo who was standing in the dark had a hideous sneer on his face. Although his entire body was drenched and ice-cold, but the smile on his face was even colder! Chapter 87: Self-renewal cockroach Chapter 87: Self-renewal cockroach ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡­¡± Fatty wailed mournfully, and many disciples also shed tears one after another. With great difficulty, Cloud Mist Sect which had been continuously suppressed for the past many years had finally felt proud and elated, making disciples saw the hopes of a revival. But in the blink of an eye, Ye Chuan, the leading Big senior apprentice-brother had died, died a violent death. Could it be that this truly was heaven being jealous of heroic genius? ¡°Black Cauldron Sect, Tuoba Xiong, it¡¯s definitely him, that old fellow must have sent assassins to kill Big senior apprentice-brother. He didn¡¯t want to give us Cloud Mist Sect any chance to respite and rejuvenate!¡± Fatty Zaho Dazhi gnashed his teeth, and he who used to be timid and cowardly in former days pulled out the sword hanging on his waist, then said with murderous intention: ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s fight with them, kill to the campsite of Black Cauldron Sect, and take revenge for Big senior apprentice-brother! If you are a man and are a brother, then come with me!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill to Black Cauldron Sect, take revenge for Big senior apprentice-brother!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ People shouted at the top of their voice, and with red eyes, they draw out their sword. Now all of them were about to rush into the campsite of Black Cauldron Sect regardless of anything. With the death of Big senior apprentice-brother Ye Chuan, who would get the largest benefit, who had this kind of motives and who had capabilities to move seven first-rate assassins? There was only one answer, that was Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong! That old man was humiliated by Ye Chuan last time, and at that time, he had already regarded Ye Chuan as a thorn in his flesh. And now, they lagged behind in ranking in this Great Competition, so they naturally were most likely to be the criminal! The chest of Zhu Sijia rapidly rose and fell. She knew that attacking the campsite ofBlack Cauldron Sect like this was just courting death, but thinking about the tragic death of Ye Chuan, she also couldn¡¯t help, as she herself was itching to personally chop that old man, Tuoba Xiong into minced meat. Only Nan Tiandu was clam headed, and was expressionless as always, but he didn¡¯t stop them, rather tightly grasped the hilt. Big senior apprentice-brother of today was no longer Big senior apprentice-brother of former days. Nan Tiandu had never been convinced by anyone, but now, he was completely convinced by Ye Chuan. If Ye Chuan really died, no need to speak about only killing to the campsite of Black Cauldron Sect, he would even dare to go to assassinate Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xing without any hesitation! ¡°Don¡¯t move, are the brains of all of you filled with water?¡± When all of them wanted to go to kill with surging sentiments, a familiar voice resounded. Inside the tent, the thick smoke gradually dispersed, and the indistinct figure of Ye Chuan appeared in front of people. His entire body was bloodstained and a long sword was still stuck in his body. But beside him, seven corpses were lying in disorder. All seven assassins who had suddenly invaded were dead without exception! Among seven assassins, the throat of six assassins was cut off by extremely thin razor blades, and now, their heads were attached to their body only with an extremely thin layer of skin. And as for the last one, he had fallen nearest to Ye Chuan, and he was also the one that had suffered the most injuries. There were three razor blades stuck in his body. One was stuck in his throat, another one was stuck in his chest and the final one was stuck in his forehead. And the final one was the most fatal one! At the crucial moment, Ye Chuan had used Smoke Wave Talisman to create confusion, and also blinded their vision, then used Light Inch to counterattack all of a sudden. He instantly released all nine blades, and every one of them was fatal! The assassin with three blades stuck in his body was the fastest and also the agilest and fiercest. It seems he was the leader of these assassins. Ye Chuan had to use the blade in his mouth to get rid of him, and at the same time, he himself was also stabbed on the left shoulder by the sword of this dying assassin. This sword had nearly stabbed his heart. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, you aren¡¯t dead?¡± Zhu Sijia rushed over, and seeing a sharp sword stabbed through his left shoulder, tears flowed out from her eyes. ¡°A good person doesn¡¯t live long, but bad person lives for thousands of years. Junior apprentice-sister Jiajia, didn¡¯t you say I, Big senior apprentice-brother am a bad person, so how could I die so easily?¡± Ye Chuan smiled, and a muffled groan escaped from his mouth as slightly moving his body hurt his wounds. ¡°Don¡¯t move, Big senior apprentice-brother, I will help you to treat your wounds. Guards, help Big senior apprentice-brother come to my tent!¡± Zhu Sijia calmed down, then instructed loudly, and quickly, help Ye Chuan wrap up his wounds. The assassin that stabbed Ye Chuan on his deathbed was truly sinister. That sword was not only sharp, but was also coated with poison.Fortunately, the body of Ye Chuan was doughty, moreover, their Cloud Mist Sect that was famous for refining pills was also good at detoxifying, otherwise, Ye Chuan would have been buried with those people. Even like this, his injuries weren¡¯t light, and he looked pale. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, should we forget just like this and helplessly let that old man Tuoba Xiong go?¡± Fatty still gnashed his teeth feeling aggrieved. ¡°Not forget like this, then do you want to fight to the death with Tuoba Xiong? Let alone you yourself, even if all of us went together, I fear it is not even enough to even plug the gap of his teeth.¡± Ye Chuan answered. Fatty and others were feeling aggrieved, but he was indifferent as if this was a common occurrence, merely a sneer flashed for an instant. And after speaking, he slowly closed his eyes. ¡°All of you, return now, Big senior apprentice-brother is tired, I alone can look after him.¡± Zhu Sijia hinted fatty, Nan Tiandu and others to leave. Then they bowed and left one after another. Very soon, inside the tent, only Zhu Sijia and Ye Chuan were left. And a fine and continuous faint fragrance of woman seeped into the nasal cavity of Ye Chuan, penetrating deep into his heart. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, don¡¯t pretend, now there is no one else, so tell me, who sent those assassins?¡± Zhu Sijia thought carefully, and incisively became aware of that Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t said anything and was concealing the truth of the matter, ¡°Was it truly Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong? Or, Five Style Sect¡¯s Elder Tu? Or¡­¡­¡± ¡°Jiajia, look, what is this?¡± Ye Chuan smiled without answering answer right away, then raising his right hand, he slowly opened it. From inside the tent, suddenly a screaming sound transmitted out. Fatty and others who had yet to walk far away, hastily turned back, as they were worried that something might have happened again. As a result, they immediately lifted the draped clothing of the tent and saw Zhu Sijia who was wearing extremely thin underwear was hiding in one corner in panic, and both of her hands were hugging her towering chest. Now she looked just like a little lamb at the mercy of others. ¡°What are you looking, roll out this instant!¡± Hearing Zhu Sijia cursing them right in their face, fatty and others hastily put down the draping cloth of tent, then hid far away. Although the figure of Zhu Sijia was sexy, but at this moment, no one dared to look at her once again, as they understood in their heart that she and Big senior apprentice-brother Ye Chuan¡¯s relationship was rather subtle. ¡°Just suffered such serious injuries and nearly lost his life, but in an instant, he is already beginning to flirt and dally with junior apprentice sister, tsk tsk, usually he did his utmost to act, but now that he has a chance, he is fast, Big senior apprentice-brother is indeed Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty shook his head, and incomparably admired Ye Chuan. Now he eagerly took the initiative to walk far away without speaking, and also made guards walk far away, so as to avoid disturbing the good deeds of Ye Chuan. Inside the tent, hearing the words of fatty, Zhu Sijia was so angry that he gritted her teeth, and she regretted not knocking out fatty just a moment ago. Ye Chuan smiled hearing the words of fatty. Then he spread out his palm and a small cockroach crawled out. After that, pretending to sigh, he said: ¡°Ai, junior apprentice-sister Jiajia, it¡¯s just a cockroach, why are you so frightened?¡± ¡°Rogue, pervert!¡± Zhu Sijia somewhat shivered. She was not afraid of fierce tiger or cheetah, but from her childhood, she was very afraid of cockroaches, rats and those small fellows that appeared inside the house. Seeing them, she would get goosebumps, ¡°Throw it away, why aren¡¯t you still throwing it away?¡± ¡°Fine, I¡¯m throwing this pitiful fellow.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then lightly flicking his left finger, the little cockroach on his palm was flicked out. Unfortunately, a gust of wind coincidentally blew over, and the cockroach that was already flicked outside of the tent was unexpectedly blown inside, and coincidentally landed next to the legs of Zhu Sijia.¡± The energetic Zhu Sijia again screamed and subconsciously stamping her legs, she jumped to another side, and trembled. As for poor little cockroach, her stamp broke its legs and its body was deformed, practically was trampled to the pulp. But it was still not dead, its life-force was especially tenacious, and after turning around, it again crawled towards Zhu Sijia. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia truly wasn¡¯t able to endure. She jumped beside Ye Chuan and subconsciously hugged latter tightly. ¡°Jiajia, rest assured, isn¡¯t this just a cockroach, senior apprentice-brother, I have already taken care of it! Such tenacious cockroach is very rare, later, call it Self-renewal Cockroach!¡± Ye Chuan caught this tenacious cockroach while grinning. Then with his complexion suddenly changing, he asked in all seriousness, ¡°Jiajia, don¡¯t focus solely on being afraid, don¡¯t you smell a kind of smell on this little cockroach?¡± ¡°What smell?¡± Zhu Sijia subconsciously answered, but her head was still blank. ¡°Our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s smell, a special medicine fragrance.¡± Ye Chuan paused, then faintly said, ¡°Our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s inheritance is very long, and we are known for refining pills, and inside the sect, a large number of medicinal herbs are grown on every peak. So in the course of time, all the lives propagated within the sect possess a faint smell of medicine.¡± ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, are you saying that this cockroach had crawled to here from our Cloud Mist Sect? How is that possible?¡± Zhu Sijia had her eyes wide open, as she found this unbelievable. ¡°Of course that¡¯s impossible, unless this cockroach transformed into a yao beast, and successfully cultivates the spirit.¡± Ye Chuan shook her head. A woman despite being intelligent also has a time when their brain is short-circuited, especially in front of a man with whom she was having a delicate relationship. And after thinking, he said: ¡°If my guess isn¡¯t wrong, then this cockroach must have been hidden inside something, and brought over here by disciples.¡± ¡°I understand, Big senior apprentice-brother, you are saying those assassins had the smell of Cloud Mist Sect, and they are very likely¡­¡­¡± The intelligent eyes of Zhu Sijia shone as she said, then she glared at Ye Chuan. This fellow was truly hateful, he could have obviously said in simple words, but he went around the circle to say. Moreover, he frightened her with a cockroach, truly too hateful! ¡°Yes, it is very likely to be the traitor inside the sect. But naturally, we cannot rule out Tuoba Xiong and Five Style Sect.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and just when he wanted to throw away the little cockroach in his hand, he had a thought, then he quietly forced out a drop of essences blood from his middle finger and used Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique, quietly refining this little fellow. After that, getting his instruction, it crawled towards the tent of Yi Suo. He wanted to confirm whether this assassinate matter was the doing of Yi Suo and Jin Zhikun. Ye Chuan already had Golden Cicada King and Piggy, these two yao beasts, but if he wanted them to secretly go to the side of Yi Suo, Jin Zhikun or Third Elder, then it would be hard for any yao beast to accomplish. But an ordinary little cockroach instead could easily accomplish this without anybody knowing it! Ye Chuan had pinned high hopes on this tenacious little cockroach that was trampled to pulp by Zhu Sijia. Chapter 88: Na Gusi Chapter 88: Na Gusi In the latter half of the night, the rain slowly stopped, but winds however got increasingly colder. Zhu Sijia had continuously taken care of Ye Chuan personally inside her tent, and had been tense continuously throughout the entire day, so with both her mind and body being very tired, she slowly entered dreamland leaning on the edge of the bed. Zhu Sijia really fell asleep, her breathing was even and it increasingly got long. But at that time, Ye Chuan who had his eyes closed all the time suddenly opened his eyes, then getting up, he gently draped a robe on Zhu Sijia and quietly leave the tent. Inside the campsite, it was very silent, and no one saw the figure of Ye Chuan. After the assassination disturbance, people were no longer in the mood of celebration, so all of them were whether resting or cultivating, looking forward to the final matches of tomorrow. Following the reaction of that little cockroach, Ye Chuan stealthily entered the tent of Yi Suo, but found it was empty. In the dead of night, this fellow wasn¡¯t resting inside his tent on the camping ground, instead had disappeared without a trace. This truly smelled fishy! Ye Chuan sneered, and send out his divine sense. Then with a little cockroach in the front and himself in the back, he left the campsite, going straight towards the mountain gully located halfway up a hill. Little cockroach in the front, Ye Chuan at the back, they were 3 kilometers apart. After using Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique to tame this little cockroach, Golden Cicada King and Piggy, in a sense, they had become Ye Chuan¡¯s limbs, eyes and ears, so now with their help, he was able to spy the situation without anybody knowing it. Halfway up a hill, a cold wind whistled beside mountain gully. Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun stood straight on his tiptoes at the edge of Eagle Beak Cliff. His face was covered with black cloth so his expression was not visible, but his eyes were ice-cold as if two frigid sharp blades. Yi Suo stood behind Jin Zhikun with a slight bow. Now he had resentment, unwilling and restless written all over his face. In extremely short few days, this genius that considered himself the best in the world had grown more than 10 years, and looked a lot more haggard. With the repetitive failure of their meticulous schemes and secret moves, moreover, helplessly watching Ye Chuan, whom they had regarded as beneath their notice in former days, slowly raising his prestige with each passing days, he received an exceptionally heavy blow. Two people quietly stood there without uttering a single word. Only whistling wind sweep past beside them. When Ye Chuan arrived here, it seemed these two people had already finished speaking, or they had just met but had nothing to speak. Ye Chuan cautiously hid inside the bush, then instructed little cockroach to slowly crawl forward. Jin Zhikun had yet to breakthrough to Daoist Master realm, but his cultivation was not trivial, blood and qi seethed within his entire body, giving people a sharp feeling. Suddenly he turned over his head, and his eyes shone, as he perceived that something was approaching. But seeing it was just a little cockroach, he slowly calmed down. ¡°Your Excellency Hall Master, is there really no other way?¡± After a good while, Yi Suo broke the silence with a bitter look. Seven first-class assassins went to do the job but not even one returned alive. Moreover, all of them weren¡¯t able to kill Ye Chuan, so he truly was at the end of his rope. Tomorrow was the last day of Martial Competition, if couldn¡¯t think of a way, then he would miss this opportunity. And if he returned to Cloud Mist Sect with this poor job, then he would definitely suffer a severe punishment of Third Elder. After, failure after failure, now, Yi Suo no longer had any trace of arrogance. And he was no longer thinking about how to stand out among his peers, instead, his head was filled with how to complete his master, Third Elder¡¯s task. If he smoothly completed the task, then he would still be the personal disciple of Third Elder, and he would very likely replace Ye Chuan, becoming new Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. But if he failed this task, then he would be held responsible for this; and if lucky, he merely had to face the wall and think about his mistake for few years, but if he was unlucky, then as a punishment, it was very likely to be sent to Evil Dragon Abyss! ¡°No, this is the best way and also the only way left.¡± Jin Zhikun answered, then looking coldly, he said, ¡°So, tomorrow, your effort is most crucial, Yi Suo, do you understand?¡± ¡°Just in case¡­¡­, just in case if that brat Ye Chuan didn¡¯t agree then?¡± Yi Suo asked while sweating profusely. ¡°That is your matter, if you cannot accomplish the task, then think of a way to explain yourself to Third Elder. As for me, if the worst comes to the worst, I will look for another opportunity to get rid of Ye Chuan.¡± Jin Zhikun coldly looked at Yi Suo, then flew away, instantly disappearing without a trace. Now on the mountain gully, Yi Suo trembled and both of his legs soften, as he felt powerless. And only after a good while, this genius walked away with heavy steps, sinister and ruthless complexion while gnashing his teeth. Beside Mountain gully, while a cold wind was whistling, seeing Yi Suo had already walk far away, Ye Chuan came out. ¡°Worried I wouldn¡¯t agree? These two fellows, what are they scheming?¡± Ye Chuan sneered, then raising his guard inside his heart, he recalled little cockroach inside the Cyan Lotus Lamp, then just when he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed danger and the muscles of his entire body tensed up. Then slowly turning around, he saw a figure not too far away from him. He didn¡¯t know when this person had appeared there. This person was three meters tall, had extremely brawny and fierce body, and was imposing like a mountain. He was wearing a black robe and a wide bamboo hat in his head. Moreover, on the two sides of his forehead, he seemed to have two lumps. And now they were not even 10 meters apart, and sensing that powerful tyrannical yao qi, it appeared as if Ye Chuan was facing a wild yao beast who was ready to make trouble. ¡°Horned demon, Na Gusi?¡± Ye Chuan asked while secretly circulating Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body. Seeing the other¡¯s attire, he suddenly recalled the experience of fatty Zhao Dazhi in underground Ghost Market. ¡°Intelligent, Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect really has good judgment. That¡¯s right, I am Na Gusi!¡± The black robed man smiled, then approached step by step, and the pressure in the air suddenly increased. With each step, he left a deep footprint on the ground, and he said, ¡°Youngster, now that you have guessed who I am, then you should also clearly know why I am looking for you, right?¡± In the mountain with a deep gully on one side, moreover, in the midnight, he suddenly encountered such vicious and merciless Horned Demon with very high cultivation, so what should he do now? The pupils of Ye Chuan contracted. This moment, Ye Chuan also met the dangerous situation just like fatty at that time! This time, in this type of place, even if someone was killed, no one would know about it. Moreover, they could casually throw the corpse down the gully, completely destroying the corpse as well as the evidence. ¡°One Ghost Talisman isn¡¯t enough?¡± Ye Chuan was calm, meeting all the changes by remaining unchanged, silently looking at approaching horned demon Na Gusi. And seeing this horned demon was not bending his knee while walking, he said: ¡°Okay, as long as you are able to pay, I can sell you some more Ghost Talismans.¡± ¡°Haha, hahaha, youngster, this means, you really refined that Ghost Talisman?¡± Horned demon Na Gusi roared with laughter, and jumping suddenly, he directly landed in front of Ye Chuan, then looking at Ye Chuan with a pair of green eyes, he laughed and said in his hoarse voice, ¡°Hahaha, really unexpected, I didn¡¯t find Paradise Realm but unexpectedly met a Talisman Master. Youngster, some Ghost Talismans is far from enough, how about returning to Dark Moon Continent with me, and refine talismans especially for our Horned Demon Palace?¡± The eyes of horned demon Na Gusi shone, and looking at Ye Chuan as if he had discovered an unusual treasure, he politely said, but his energy fluctuation however was steadily getting aggressive, clearly, if the soft method didn¡¯t work, he would use force to capture Ye Chuan. Ever since ancient times, Heavenly Fire Continent had many sects, and the environment was also pleasant. But Dark Moon Continent was different, volcanoes and deserts were spread all over, and it was the place where Demonic Cultivators inhabits. And once a person reached Dark Moon Continent, even a Rank 7 Xiushi wouldn¡¯t be able to escape, turning into a lifelong slave of Demonic Cultivators! Chapter 89: Nine Transformation Demonic Technique Chapter 89: Nine Transformation Demonic Technique A bone-piercing cold wind zipped by. Ye Chuan coldly smiled, instantly understanding the intention of horned demon Na Gusi, ¡°Strike, let me see whether you have that ability or not!¡± Ye Chuan was completely calm, and with Heaven Swallowing Talisman rapidly churning, a round of pure energy fluctuation appeared. Hearing about Dark Moon Continent where demonic cultivators gather, an average person would petrify, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t care. Before, when he was able to conceal the heaven with his hand, no need to mention about Dark Moon Continent, he had entered and exited thousand times more dangerous ancient ominous domain, killing those fiends until they pissed in their pants. Unfortunately, now he was reincarnated as a Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, and was staying there to cultivate again, so he didn¡¯t have time to waste in Dark Moon Continent. ¡°Eh, what technique is this? How¡­¡± Horned Demon Na Gusi exclaimed, as he vaguely felt innate suppression after Ye Chuan rotate Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique, circulating Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body. Now in front of Ye Chuan, he seemed to be able to use only less than 60% of his complete power. So glaring at Ye Chuan, now horned demon was shocked, puzzled and even scared. Among the demonic cultivators, there was a legend passed down generation after generation. Demonic cultivator of whatever style once made a breakthrough to Daoist Master realm, they don¡¯t need to fear the pressure of any righteous sect, even to the extent that the pressure of Sage would also not be that effective, only encountering the ancient existences that cultivate legendary Demon God level peerless technique, they would feel innate suppression. How old was Ye Chuan, was he a venerable Demon God, or is the reincarnation of ancient Demon God? Horned demon shook his head, and didn¡¯t dare to believe this kind of thoughts, but he was truly feeling this kind of innate pressure! ¡°If I say I am the reincarnation of an ancient Demon God, will you believe?¡± Ye Chuan sneered, with his eyes flashing as if he could completely see through this horned demon. ¡°Impossible, will ancient Demon God reincarnate in such downtrodden sect, moreover as this kind of nobody? If you are the reincarnation of ancient Demon God, then I am a King of Demon God, that legendary Great Demon God!¡± Horned demon Na Gusi shouted, then pressing ground with his tiptoes, he charged towards Ye Chuan. And clawing at the empty air, suddenly a huge claw appeared in the sky. The five sharp fingers of this claw were slightly bent as if a bear claw. And that claw suddenly emitted a bloody aura. Looking at this, it seemed this horned demon had fused with more than two yao beasts. Usually, the more yao beasts a demonic cultivator had fused with, the more powerful their cultivation would be. Naturally, controlling their heart demon would also be hard and the backlash would also be extremely violent. Ye Chuan slightly bowed, and the instant the sharp claw whistled through, he jumped, dodging the attack of this horned demon. ¡°Boy, you can¡¯t run away!¡± Horned demon Na Gusi shouted loudly, and chasing after Ye Chuan, he initiated attacks like tidewater. Ye Chuan¡¯s speed was fast, but his speed was faster. Despite his knee joint being stiff, his hopping was faster than average people flying in their flying sword. No matter which direction Ye Chuan ran, he instantly caught up to Ye Chuan. But Ye Chuan used an unknown technique, which made his body move as if a willow, making horned demon unable to guess which direction he would go next, dodging the attacks of the horned demon at the crucial moment. As a once venerable Heaven Concealing Great Sage that was able to conceal the heaven with his hand, Ye Chuan had once mastered 3000 techniques, and had enough experience to deal with sudden and unexpected situations in many ways. Unfortunately, the cultivation of his current body was limited, so he was unable to last long. Not long after, horned demon Na Gusi cornered Ye Chuan on the edge of the mountain gully with nowhere to dodge. ¡°Hahaha, brat, be obedient and come with me to Horned Demon Palace!¡± The horned demon roared with laughter and advanced step by step. With Rank 5 Daoist Master realm against Rank 7 Wuzhe, this was simply a disproportionate match. The current Ye Chuan was far from being his opponent. But, with various kinds of means, along with the usage of different kinds of talisman, ye Chuan seize the opportunity to break out of an encirclement time and time again, making horned demon Na Gusi more and more apprehensive as the time passed, so he made up the mind to resolve this in the shortest time possible. If by chance, he alerted the experts of the three great sects on the top of this mountain, then he would be in trouble. The elder of Cloud Mist Sect hadn¡¯t come, but there was still Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong and Five Style Sect¡¯s Elder Tu. Although Na Gusi didn¡¯t fear them, but he also didn¡¯t want any unexpected twist and turns. ¡°Your body, you have fused with Violent Bear approximately fifty-seven years ago.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dodge again, merely looking straight at horned demon Na Gusi without any fear, he flatly said. Aggressive horned demon Na Gusi suddenly stopped his steps, and looking surprised, he asked, ¡°How did you know?¡± ¡°That time, you were very lucky, as you were able to fuse with thousand years Violent Bear, refining Violent Bear¡¯s unique skill. But, at that time, you also left behind a fatal hidden damage. In every overcast and rainy days, your right arm aches very much, isn¡¯t that so?¡± Ye Chuan flatly said without answering the question of the horned demon, rather continuing to point out his problem. Just a moment ago, he was not only dodging the attack of the horned demon, he was also carefully observing his body. And he was able to discern the hidden trouble on horned demon Na Gusi. After his reincarnation, Ye Chuan had to start his cultivation from the beginning, so his cultivation was limited, but his experience and discernment were still present. ¡°So what? Even if my entire right arm is wasted, you will still not be my opponent!¡± The complexion of horned demon Na Gusi became ferocious, then he suddenly accelerated wanted to quickly capture Ye Chuan. ¡°Twenty-three years ago, you fuse with a unicorn, inheriting its innate ability which vastly increased your speed, but your left hand was wasted, so you can merely use one hand to fight.¡± Ye Chuan said. Ferocious Na Gusi suddenly stopped again, then his complexion changed. Saying his secrets once, he could pass it as a wild guess, but Ye Chuan was able to point out his two secrets, this was not simple! ¡°And just recently, you forcibly fused with hundred thousand years Horned Dragon, changing the entire essence blood within your body into the dragon blood. This vastly strengthened your body, but, your two knees however were wasted and you can¡¯t bend them, so even walking is difficult.¡± Ye Chuan paused for a bit and continued indifferently, ¡°There are many ways for a demonic cultivator to fuse with yao beast, but you choose the simplest and also most dangerous method. Now, you can¡¯t bend your knee, that is a small problem, but very soon, it¡¯s your internal organs turn to be unable to bear the power of hundred thousand years Horned Dragon. The end of your life is already right around the corner, but you are still wandering outside, you are so pitiful and funny!¡± ¡°If I catch you, I will have many Ghost Talismans, wouldn¡¯t that solve all my problems?¡± The eyes of horned demon Na Gusi showed ominous glint, then began to advance forward again. ¡°Ghost Talismans can only alleviate and delay the arrival of the end of your end. It merely cures the symptoms, not the disease.¡± Ye Chuan answered. Horned demon Na Gusi stopped again, then with his green eyes, he firmly stared at Ye Chuan, ¡°Then you say, how can this be treated?¡± ¡°Look for an immortal pill and swallow it.¡± Ye Chuan answered. ¡°That¡¯s impossible, in this Wilderness World, immortal pills are already extinct. And if it was available, then you don¡¯t need to say it!¡± Horned demon shook his head. ¡°Look for an immortal, and ask him to cleanse you muscles and subjugate your marrow.¡± Ye Chuan continued. Horned demon shook his head once again, and with an ominous glint flashing in his eyes, he said: ¡°Even more impossible, immortals have already disappeared! Brat, are you joking around with me?¡± ¡°I have a technique, after achieving success in the cultivation of this technique, you don¡¯t need to ask anyone to help, you can resolve it yourself.¡± Ye Chuan said ignoring the ominous glint of this horned demon. ¡°What technique?¡± ¡°Nine Transformation Demonic Technique!¡± Ye Chuan spat out several words, and circulating the Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, his body suddenly expanded to three meters, two lumps sprout in his forehead, and he vaguely became somewhat similar to horned demon Na Gusi. And in a blink of an eye, he immediately reverted back to his original state, looking pale and exhausted. It was just a very short time transformation, but that was already enough. The experienced and knowledgeable horned demon Na Gusi suddenly became excited. Nine Transformation Demonic Technique, this was a technique tailor-made for demonic cultivator from the legend. With this technique, he could resolve his heart demon whenever he pleased, fuse with any yao beast, even to the extent of directly evolving to the appearance of yao beasts themselves. This technique was something demonic cultivators yearn for even in their dream. Unfortunately, this technique was long lost in Wilderness World. And suddenly seeing this technique in front of him, horned demon Na Gusi who was nearly at the end of his life was excited like never before. ¡°Don¡¯t be too excited, or your end of life will arrive in advance.¡± Ye Chuan paused, and said indifferently: ¡°See this mountain gully, if I directly jump down, I will certainly die, and you will also be unable to obtain Nine Transformation Demonic Technique. How about we make a deal?¡± ¡°What deal?¡± Horned demon Na Gusi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suppressing the impulse within his heart. ¡°I will teach you Nine Transformation Demonic Technique, first only the first part, then slowly teach you other parts. But you have to help me do a number of matters.¡± Ye Chuan calmly said, grasping the treasured possession of horned demon Na Gusi. Nine Transformation Demonic Technique was the dream of horned demon Na Gusi, but was a lifesaving rope for Ye Chuan. With this rope, horned demon Na Gusi will no longer be able to escape his control, as after becoming aware of its benefits, he will fall deeper and deeper. After that, he would tighten up the noose on this horned demon even more. After leaving God Burial Valley, Ye Chuan was lying low in Cloud Mist Sect, not leaving even Cloud Mist Mountain Range. But, his vision was already outside Heavenly Fire Continent, and betting on Dark Moon Continent, he began to lay out the seeds to return to his past pinnacle in the future. Demonic cultivators were fierce, each and every one of them was a great devil that kills people like flies, but using well, they could be a powerful force. Controlling horned demon Na Gusi was the beginning of controlling the power. ¡°Fine, it¡¯s a deal!¡± Horned demon Na Gusi thought for a bit, and being unable to resist the temptation of Nine Transformation Demonic Technique, he said. ¡°Then listen carefully, now, I will impart the first core law!¡± Ye Chuan came straight to the point, then confidentially imparted the technique beside the mountain gully. And the vicious and overbearing horned demon Na Gusi also listened with attention. Slowly, the suspicion in his heart disappeared, and was replaced by shock and solemnness. Chapter 90: Sect Master, you must not hesitate ah Chapter 90: Sect Master, you must not hesitate ah When it was daybreak, Ye Chuan returned to the campsite, exhausted. Imparting technique consumed a lot of vitality. But his spirit was rather extremely excited. Inside the sect, there was Flame Devil guarding the Cloud Mist Sect, and now, outside the sect, he obtained equally matched or even a more powerful helper. Flame Devil was a ball of fire, he would burn any fellow who wanted to dip a finger in Cloud Mist Sect, defending the sect from inside; Horned demon Na Gusi was a knife, sharp butcher¡¯s knife, the main attacker in outside. Ye Chuan was adept in moving knife, and even more adept in sharpening the knife. He believed that horned demon Na Gusi, this butcher¡¯s knife would become sharper and sharper in his hand! After resting for a little while, Ye Chuan led everyone to the life and death arena. Early in the morning, the forces of both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were already present there. Today was the final day of Martial Competition. Will currently leading Cloud Mist Sect continue to hold their lead, or they will be pulled down? In this final two matches, who will Ye Chuan send? Could it be that he will still send the millennium genius of Cloud Mist Sect, Nan Tiandu? Everybody was waiting expectantly. The final two matches of this Martial Competition made everyone indescribably nervous. But before the lots were drawn, the three arbitrators representing three great sects were quarreling on the life and death arena. The arbitrators of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect unexpectedly put forward a new rule in unison, claiming that for the sake of fairness, no one is not allowed to reappear on the matches many times, at most they can appear only three times. Off the life and death arena, the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect applaud to support this new rule, whereas the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect suddenly made an uproar. This so-called for the sake of fairness new rule was clearly aimed specifically at Cloud Mist Sect. They were deliberately not allowing Nan Tiandu to enter the following matches. Clearly, there was no one in the younger generation that would be able to match with Nan Tiandu, so they made such new rule. ¡°Too despicable, too shameless, what Sect Master, what elder, all are shameless people!¡± The anger of Zhu Sijia reached the extreme point. In these past few years, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect had always been very shameless, and especially Black Cauldron Sect, for suppressing Cloud Mist Sect, nothing was bad for them. But this time, they unexpectedly were so shameless that they completely disregarded all their faces. First they pointed out that in the Great Competition of this time, the Big Disciples of all three sects should personally lead the group into the battle, clearly showing that they wanted to humiliate Cloud Mist Sect using the mediocre cultivation of their sect¡¯s Big Disciple Ye Chuan; Next, during Great Competition, they frequently stalled for time, to think of a way to deal with powerful Nan Tiandu; But finally unable to defeat Nan Tiandu, they unexpectedly thought of this method, forcibly changing the rule of Great Competition itself! ¡°They simply are bulling us too much, let¡¯s quit and return, Big senior apprentice-brother. This is not the Great Competition of three sects, but clearly is the competition to see whose face is the thickest and who is even more shameless!¡± The complexion of Fatty Zhao Dazhi turned purple, and shouted loudly. Then as if hundred responding to a single call, all the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect also made an uproar. Aren¡¯t you thinking you are so amazing, and considering yourself very intelligent? Okay, we have nothing to do with it, we will simply not play with you! Coming a long way, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had finally seen the improvement of their sect, and at that time, seeing they were being they were bullied, every one of them was feeling aggrieved. On the life and death arena, the complexion of Protector Yang who was representing Cloud Mist Sect as an arbitrator was also ghastly pale, and was also flushed with anger. But, Ye Chuan standing outside life and death arena who was the leader of this group was quiet, and his complexion was also calm, as if this sudden counter-attack of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect was within his expectation. Who was Tuoba Xiong? He was a savage bear (xiong) that would kill people without batting an eyelid. For his aim, he would use any fair or foul means, and for suppressing and humiliating Cloud Mist Sect, he even sold his own daughter. Being such person, seeing Cloud Mist Sect suddenly rising in this Great Competition, how could this fellow look on with folded arms, so this attack was normal, if he hadn¡¯t made any move, then that would be abnormal! Ye Chuan was already prepared for this, so he waited silently. Not long after, Tuoba Xiong leisurely walked over and said, ¡°Kid, I heard you are very dissatisfied with the new rule, is that true? What, are you afraid? Is there really no one except Nan Tiandu in your Cloud Mist Sect? As a grand Big Disciple of the sect, you don¡¯t even have guts to go to the arena and compete?¡± The expression of Tuoba Xiong was sinister and ruthless. He used prodding in the presence of all to compel Ye Chuan to be stuck in an embarrassing situation! ¡°Discontent with the new rule? Why? This is just adding a small rule, what¡¯s the big deal, but Your Excellency Sect Master, why are you getting so hyped for?¡± Ye Chuan said with a smile. Overbearing Tuoba Xiong¡¯s faced turn red, then he said, ¡°Kid, does that mean you are agreeing?¡± ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, you must not agree! ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty, Zhu Sijia and others became anxious. If he agreed to Tuoba Xiong, then Nan Tiandu wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the last two crucial matches, so who will fight in his place? Ye Chuan waved his hand signaling people to not agitate. After that, he looked at Tuoba Xiong, and again looked at Tuoba Xiaoniao not far away who was hesitating to walk forward, then said with an evil smile, ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, we, Cloud Mist Sect will accept this new rule, but, we have a small request.¡± ¡°Father¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao screamed, and this time, it was her turn to get anxious. Seeing that smile of Ye Chuan, she felt anything but reassuring. If Ye Chuan took this opportunity to ask her father to let her marry him, then what should she do? The heart of Tuoba Xiaoniao agitatedly jumped as if a deer. The face of Tuoba Xiong also sank, clearly his thought was same as his daughter, so he was in dilemma now. Letting Cloud Mist Sect win this Great Competition was absolutely unacceptable, he must not give Cloud Mist Sect any chance to pull itself together. But if he really let his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao marry Ye Chuan, then that would be a big loss! ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, you must not hesitate in the crucial moment, don¡¯t forget what we discussed before.¡± Elder Tu of Five Style Sect came over and poured oil on the flames with a taking pleasure in other people¡¯s misfortune smile on his face. When dealing with Cloud Mist Sect, these two sects were unanimous, but in secret, they were fighting openly and maneuvering covertly, so he was happy to see Tuoba Xiong suffering a setback. Using an imposter Big Bird to humiliate other people didn¡¯t succeed, but in the end, he instead had to respectfully present real Xiaoniao with both hands, wasn¡¯t this giving one¡¯s enemy a wife and lose soldiers to the enemy as well. This will make Tuoba Xiong and even entire Black Cauldron Sect a joke! Tuoba Xiong¡¯s complexion became gloomy and he ferociously glared at Ye Chuan with a pair of red eyes, as if he was a yao beast that wanted to eat people. He had thought to prod Ye Chuan, but unexpectedly, he instead was stuck in an embarrassing situation in an instant! ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, there is no hurry, you can think slowly. How about we postpone these two final matches? When do you want the matches to begin again?¡± Ye Chuan said with understanding appearance, making Tuoba Xiong grit his teeth in resentment. The disciples of all three sects simultaneously looked at Tuoba Xiong to see what he would choose. On the life and death arena, the three arbitrators also stopped quarreling. Now, the decision of approving new rule was not in the hand of Ye Chuan, but Tuoba Xiong! The complexion of Tuoba Xiong got even gloomier, and also blackened as if an iron cooking pot. He suddenly regretted a little, if he had known this would happen earlier, then he would have directly attacked to kill Ye Chuan, and that would still not be so intolerable and passive like this! Who said that the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect Ye Chuan was stupid and mediocre? Is this stupid? He is clearly a thousand-year-old fox who will eat people without leaving even bones! The chest of Tuoba Xiong was sullen, and gnashing his teeth, he pledged that he will tear apart all the disciples of his sect who were responsible for intelligence! Chapter 91: Angry Bear (Xiong) Chapter 91: Angry Bear (Xiong) Tuoba Xiong thought for a long time with a gloomy face, then finally, broke the silence with his hoarse voice: ¡°Fine, brat, speak, what¡¯s your demand?¡± ¡°Father¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao became anxious, and her eyes became moist with tears flowing down from the rim of her eyes. She had always listened to her father Tuoba Xiong, but this time, it was different. Agreeing to the request of Ye Chuan, in a beautiful word was marrying him, but in a harsh word, she herself had become a thing of wager that¡¯s all. Like this, if she was married to Ye Chuan in future, then wouldn¡¯t that mean letting Ye Chuan wantonly play and humiliate her? ¡°Brat, quickly spit it out, and be done with it!¡± Tuoba Xiong ferociously glared Ye Chuan and said in a threatening manner with dense killing intent. He turned a deaf ear to the cry of Tuoba Xiaoniao. Stubborn! Barbarian really is barbarian! Ye Chuan shook his head, and looking at the anxious, nervous and helpless as if a little lamb Tuoba Xiaoniao, he said, ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, I am a bit embarrassed to say.¡± You are embarrassed to say? If you are really embarrassed, then at least pretend to be so. The lungs of Tuoba Xiong was about to burst with rage, then gritting his teeth, he said, ¡°Brat, are you speaking or not? What is your requirement?¡± ¡°Fine, it is better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously, I always respect old people. Your Excellency Sect master, then can I really say now?¡± Ye Chuan with reluctant appearance said to Tuoba Xiong with a needle hidden in silk floss. Tuoba Xiong was in the prime of his life, and didn¡¯t even had a single white hair, but when did he turn into old people? Five Style Sect¡¯s Miss Liu Hong also walked over to watch the excitement, and hearing the words of Ye Chuan, she involuntarily chuckled, and looking towards Ye Chuan, her bright and liquid eyes flashed amorous glances. And seeing her, the disciples watching the situation intently opened up a path for her so as to fawn upon her. ¡°Brat, are you going to speak or not?¡± Tuoba Xiong¡¯s face twisted. He was angry as well as confused, as he suddenly had an illusion as if he was begging Ye Chuan to put forward his demand. Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t speak a word, fatty Zhao Dazhi was also not anxious, and all the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were also quiet to see how Ye Chuan, this Big senior apprentice-brother would deal with this shameless Tuoba Xiong. ¡°Ai, I have no choice but to speak right?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and when Tuoba Xiong was about to thoroughly erupt, as if pouring a bucket of cold water, he said, making Tuoba Xiong unable to have a fit of anger even when he wanted to do so, ¡°Fine, then I will be blunt, although I am still somewhat embarrassed. My request is actually very simple, let Tuoba Xiaoniao marry into our sect!¡± Ah¡­¡­, people simultaneously exclaimed. Even though that had expected it, but they were still greatly surprised. Tuoba Xiaoniao turned pale, and the complexion of Tuoba Xiong was similarly livid. Smelly brat, still embarrassed to speak, look what you have done now! Is this still a simple request? ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand, everyone, don¡¯t misunderstand.¡± Ye waved his hand to signal people to quiet down, and said, ¡°Miss Tuoba is very beautiful, but, I am not interested, at least for the time being, I don¡¯t have any intention to make family, also I cannot take advantage of the misfortune of Miss Tuoba to force her to marry. I am not such casual man, and also not like some people who especially does despicable matters.¡± Tuoba Xiong glared at Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Brat, make it clear, what do you want?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s eyes shone seeing a gleam of hope. Ye Chuan looked all around, and his gaze finally stopped at endearing little bird like Tuoba Xiaoniao, then with an evil smile, he said, ¡°As a matter of fact, there is one thing you all might not know. I have a junior apprentice-brother, called Zhao Dazhi. Although he is a bit ugly, a little fat and have a little insatiable lust for money, but in general, he is pretty good. In this period of time, he is always worried about having no appetite and having no mood to cultivation, and he told me that since he saw Miss Tuoba, he had no thought for tea or rice, and in this life, he would marry only her. So as a Big senior apprentice-brother of the sect, I feel very sorry for him, so with no other choice, I had to seize this opportunity to speak. I request Your Excellency Sect Master to help achieve his dream.¡± The life and death arena suddenly seethed with excitement. Fatty Zaho Dazhi was more dumbstruck and startled than anyone else here, ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, I¡­¡­, I¡­¡­¡± Fatty wanted to deny this, but Zhu Sijia suddenly hit him with her elbow. This made him close his mouth. Ye Chuan had a sincere face with the expression as if he would go through fire and water for his junior apprentice-brothers and sisters. And as for Tuoba Xiong, he nevertheless was so angry that he trembled. If Tuoba Xiaoniao married Ye Chuan, then he could very reluctantly accept it, as in any case, Ye Chuan was sect¡¯s Big Disciple. But marring unknown junior apprentice-brother under Ye Chuan, moreover with this big fatty that looked just like a pig, how could he accept it? ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­, you are pushing people too hard!¡± Tuoba Xiong angrily said. Then with earthshaking energy fluctuation erupting out from his body, a small mountain like huge cauldron appeared in his hand, then suddenly raising his leg, he stomped. After that, sands flew about and stones hurtled through the air, the ground shook and the disciples within the radius of 100 meters were caught unprepared, and all of them were sent flying. Black Tortoise Cauldron! Tuoba Xiong was angry, and holding the sect guarding treasure of Black Cauldron Sect, his killing intent soared! This moment, the might of Rank 4 Daoist Master realm was fully shown! Seeing the situation was anything but reassuring, Elder Tu of Five Style Sect quickly grabbed Liu Hong and retreated far away. A grand Great Competition suddenly developed into the battle of two great sects. And Tuoba Xiong, regardless of his status of Sect Master, personally attacked shedding all pretense of cordiality. Zhu Sijia, fatty and others were also sent flying. And after getting up, all of them looked pale. In this Great Competition, not a single elder of Cloud Mist Sect had come, moreover, Sect Master Yun Feiwu was missing for many years without any trace. And with only these disciples of Cloud Mist Sect present here, it would be impossible to stop Tuoba Xiong from killing anyone he wanted! ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, why are you doing this? Isn¡¯t this just a discussion, if you insist on disagreeing, then forget about it.¡± Ye Chuan was calm and composed. Although the blood and qi within his body were churning almost making him spit out a mouthful of blood, but his face nevertheless was expressionless, and speeding up the circulation of Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, he suppressed the churning blood and qi. Now, on the surface, he would appear as if he didn¡¯t know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth, but inwardly, he had already taken out a talisman. As long as he crushed this talisman, horned demon Na Gusi who was standby on halfway up the mountain would immediately fly over to kill. Tuoba Xiong as a Sect Master had already broken through to Rank 4 Daoist Master realm, and even Great Elder of Cloud Mist Sect Zhu Guohong might not be his opponent, but horned demon Na Gusi was absolutely a well-matched against him or even be able to eliminate his arrogance! In the views of other people, current Ye Chuan appeared as if he didn¡¯t know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth and was courting death, but Ye Chuan was fearless! ¡°Heh heh, Tuoba Xiong, very good might, but do you really think that there is no one that can stop you from bullying my Cloud Mist Sect?¡± An ice-cold voice suddenly came through, then a majestic heavy pressure. A short grey-bearded old man flew over. He carried a hoe on his shoulder, and the bottom of his pants was full of muds, appearing downright countryside old farmer. But, Tuoba Xiong who considered himself the best in the world suddenly became cautious. Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Second Elder Nangong Ren appeared at the crucial moment! Nan Tiandu, Zhu Sijia, fatty and others were overjoyed, even fearless Ye Chuan was secretly relieved, then secretly put away the message talisman. Horned demon Na Gusi was his trump card, and until it was not the last moment, he was unwilling to reveal him easily. ¡°Damned black bear, you dare to bully my sect¡¯s Big Disciple?¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren was famous for having a bad temper. And without enduring at all, fuming with rage, he raised his hoe and rushed forward, immediately beginning to fight with Tuoba Xiong. Second Elder was determined to beat Tuoba Xiong to death. Sect Master was not present, so Great Elder Zhu Guohong didn¡¯t dare to easily shed all pretense of cordiality with Tuoba Xiong, taking the big picture into consideration, but Second Elder had no scruple, if he said fight, then he would fight! Chapter 92: Betting pact Chapter 92: Betting pact In the final day of Martial Competition, the critical two matches had still not begun, instead, Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong and Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Second Eder Nangong Ren had a quarrel and started fighting. With Rank 4 Daoist Master realm against Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, Tuoba Xiong naturally held the advantage, but he wasn¡¯t able to completely dominate this battle, even to the extent that he was repeatedly in danger. Nangong Ren, as if crazy and also as if Tuoba Xiong was the enemy that had killed his father, fought with all his might, as if he didn¡¯t mind perishing together. The cultivation of Tuoba Xiong was a rank higher, but this short-tempered short old man repeatedly forced him to retreat. From the past many years, this fight was most unpleasant and most suppressed battle for Tuoba Xiong. The matters have completely gone out of control, this was not he wanted. Originally, he just wanted to pressure Ye Chuan, and used prodding to force him to agree to the new rule. He had never wanted to personally attack from the very beginning. And what he was even more unexpected was, he had to fight with this old man Nangong Ren in public which was the battle where only both sides would suffer. Dong! After ferociously colliding, both of them separated to opposite sides. Tuoba Xiong took a deep breath, and Black Tortoise Cauldron in his hand was lightly trembling making a buzzing sound, moreover, now there were scratches on it due to the attack from the hoe of Second Elder. But on the other hand, the hoe in the hand of Second Elder unexpectedly wasn¡¯t damaged even a bit. This rustic hoe however was a powerful treasure. ¡°Madman!¡± Tuoba Xiong cursed ferociously, and seeing the scratches on Black Tortoise Cauldron, his killing intent soared. ¡°Enough, don¡¯t fight, father, don¡¯t fight¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao stepped forward, standing between her father Tuoba Xiong and Nangong Ren. Then she looked her father and again looking at Ye Chuan standing not far away, she said, ¡°Noble son Ye, I agree to your demand. But I also have a request, after three years, as long as you can defeat me, I will agree to whatever you want, I will marry to whoever you want me to marry.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao knew that once her father made a decision, he will not give up easily. Now that he had already purposed the change in the rule of Great Competition, he will not give up easily. And the more she looked at the fight between her father and Second Elder, the more shocked she became, and she didn¡¯t dare to look down on this matter anymore, moreover, not wanting to make her father embarrassed, she took the initiative to stand out and agree to the demand of Ye Chuan. It¡¯s a pity that a flower is really going to be stuck in the cow dung. All people simultaneously shook their head, looking at delicate as a flower, refined as a precious jade endearing little bird like Tuoba Xiaoniao, and again looking at wretched looking fatty Zhao Dazhi, they endlessly felt sympathy. Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Hong Lie, who was standing among the crowd leaning on crutches, gnashed his teeth. Helplessly watching Tuoba Xiaoniao whom he had secretly loved for many years promising to Ye Chuan just like this, his heart was bleeding. Unfortunately, the times have changed, now he was not only out of favor, he still was suffering from severe injury, so even if he had the heart to stop, he however didn¡¯t have strength. He was helpless. ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty stuttered as he didn¡¯t know what to say. Happiness came too suddenly, so he didn¡¯t dare to believe this was a reality. If Tuoba Xiaoniao really married him, that truly would be pie falling from the sky, but was this possible? Absolutely impossible! Fatty didn¡¯t dare to believe, and also wasn¡¯t able to imagine this, as he knew himself clearly. Tuoba Xiaoniao was too beautiful and was equally matched with Zhu Sijia in beauty. This kind of beauty, even if he really married, then he had to let Big senior apprentice-brother enjoy ah! ¡°Three years is too long, what about one year. If time is too long, then I¡¯m afraid it would be too late.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and said. ¡°One year is already enough for many things to happen, brat, hereafter it would be best for you to not leave Cloud Mist Sect easily. Now begin the match!¡± Tuoba Xiong glared at Ye Chuan and said, then gave the order to begin the Great Competition. After that, three arbitrators on the life and death arena busied themselves. The result of drawing lots came out very quickly, it was Cloud Mist Sect against Black Cauldron Sect. Then with the laughter of Tuoba Xiong, a strong and bulky elite disciple of Black Cauldron Sect jumped onto the life and death arena, holding a heavy spear. After that, he raised his head and roared, and a halo unexpectedly appeared behind his head. In the middle of this halo, entrenched python was faintly visible. Rank 3 Xiushi! Yet another expert of Black Cauldron Sect appeared and his cultivation was unexpectedly not less than sect¡¯s Big Disciple Hong Lie. The disciples of Black Cauldron Sect cheered loudly, but the people of Cloud Mist Sect became solemn. Now that Nan Tiandu wasn¡¯t able to enter the battle due to the rule, who would Ye Chuan send? There were many disciples of Cloud Mist Sect in the crowd, but only six had truly followed Ye Chuan for this competition. Fatty Zaho Dazhi was worthless, Nan Tiandu couldn¡¯t enter the battle, and the two outer sect disciples were useless too, moreover, Ye Chuan was only Rank 7 Wuzhe. It seems, Zhu Sijia was the only person left, so although she clearly knew that she was not his opponent, she could only toughen her scalp and enter the arena! ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, let me!¡± Ye Suo suddenly came up from behind, and said with a sincere face, ¡°The day before yesterday, I suddenly had a problem in my throat, so I left the arena on my own, disgracing our sect. This time, senior apprentice-brother Tiandu cannot enter the arena, so let me handle this match. Big senior apprentice-brother, believe in me, I will definitely kill this disciple of this Black Cauldron Sect, please give me a chance!¡± ¡°No, Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia shook her head, and immediately recalling those words of Ye Chuan. Those seven assassins unexpectedly had the aura of Cloud Mist Sect, so that assassination plan was very likely to be the work of the mole, so Yi Suo and his master Third Elder were the greatest suspects. This match was very important, and if Yi Suo had evil plans, then wouldn¡¯t he¡­¡­ ¡°Jiajia, say nothing, it¡¯s fine. Everyone makes mistakes, so we should always give them a second chance. Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, go, even if other people don¡¯t believe in you, Big senior apprentice-brother will believe in you.¡± Ye Chuan interrupted Zhu Sijia, and looked at Yi Suo with similar sincerity. ¡°Thank you, Big senior apprentice-brother!¡± Yi Suo bowed, then pulling out his sword, he jumped onto the arena. When he was facing others before, he had a sincere face, but after stepping on the life and death arena, when his back was facing towards Ye Chuan and others, a sneer immediately appeared on his face. Originally, in order to make Ye Chuan agree his request, he had already thought of many ways, which included even crying and kneeling down. But to his surprise, Ye Chuan actually agreed so easily, saving him from trouble! ¡°God came to help me, brat, now, just wait to cut off your arm!¡± The complexion of Yi Suo became hideous, and was dying to raise his head to utter a long, loud cry. ¡°Kid, time is limited, jump when you have time.¡± Off the life and death arena, Ye Chuan also sneered. After he eavesdropped the discussion between Yi Suo and Hall Master Jin Zhikun, he knew that these two wanted to play dirty trick again, so this unusual request and sincerity of Yi Suo was already within his expectation. To kill the enemy, the most refreshing way was not simply stabbing him to death, rather let him became complacent first, and let him do as he pleases, then when he is most happy and intensely proud, deal him a head-on blow. Ye Chuan loosened the reins only to grasp them better, intentionally made Yi Suo jump again! ¡°Heh heh, even a knowledgeable person, when exhausted of all choices, he would inevitably make an error!¡± In a distant place, Hall Master Jin Zhikun who was hiding behind rock also sneered and was happy in his heart. His biggest worry was the vigilance of Ye Chuan, and not allow Yi Suo to enter the arena. But now, before the competition was finished, he was sure that Cloud Mist Sect would lose the Martial Competition! After that, no need to mention about Ye Chuan has to personally cut off his arm, even if he returned alive to Cloud Mist Sect, they could seize the opportunity to launch an attack making him lose his Big Disciple position. And when Third Elder grasped the authority of Cloud Mist Sect, he could do whatever he liked without any misgivings. Chapter 93: Final battle Chapter 93: Final battle ¡°Kill!¡± On the life and death arena, the expert of Black Cauldron Sect shouted and rushed towards Yi Suo with a spear in his hand. Then he stabbed out his spear as if flood dragon entering the sea. The air around them immediately undiluted, and the projection of python behind his head became clearer. ¡°Kill!¡± Yi Suo also shouted similarly, and rushed forward meeting this attack head-on. He firmly sword chopped towards the spear of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s master. Then with a ¡®ding¡¯ sound, the sword in the hand of Yi Suo slipped out of Yi Suo¡¯s hand and flew away. On the life and death arena, the victory and defeat were decided instantly. In a single move, before both sides could display their real power, Yi Suo had lost! And when the expert of Black Cauldron Sect was stunned seeing this, Yi Suo seized this opportunity to jump off the life and death arena, escaping unscathed. This was an extremely important match, but that¡¯s the end of it? Off the life and death arena, it was absolute silence, and everyone was staring with wide opened eyes. And after a good while, an earth-shaking cheer resounded. The disciples of Black Cauldron Sect was endlessly excited as they cheered loudly. And the complexion of Tuoba Xiong also finally become much better looking. This win swept away the gloominess and cloudiness of before. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Big senior apprentice-brother, I lost, the other side was too powerful.¡± Yi Suo walked over to the front of Ye Chuan, then hypocritically apologized for wrongdoing, pretending to want to make amends with remorseful and uneasy appearance, but his facial muscles were stiff, and had a trace of impossible to get rid of sneer. After losing this match, Cloud Mist Sect fell down from the first place, and there was only a final match left, so even if they wished to climb up to their first place, it was impossible! Now they could only wait for Ye Chuan to personally cut off his arm. Yi Suo couldn¡¯t wait for that moment! ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, he did it on purpose, kill him!¡± Zhu Sijia grabbed the hilt of the sword hanging on her waist and said with dense killing intent. She had always been worried about Yi Suo, this fellow tricking them, unexpectedly, the matter she feared the most happened. With the cultivation of Yi Suo, it was impossible for him to lose in a single head-on clash, clearly, this fellow had lost intentionally. For the sake of personal enmity, he ignored even the honor of the sect! ¡°That¡¯s right, kill him!¡± ¡°This damn traitor, arrest him!¡± The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect simultaneously pulled out their swords, then heavily besieged Yi Suo. The complexion of Yi Suo changed, he had never thought that this formerly weak and alone Big senior apprentice-brother Ye Chuan had so much popularity and prestige all of a sudden, but very quickly, he calmed down, and with a sneer on his face, he stood motionlessly, letting people seize him up. Now he had a fearless appearance. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, doing this, are you feeling good?¡± Ye Chan shook his head and continued, ¡°Right, I have a suggestion, you can come at me at any time, if you want to seize my Big Disciple seat, then we can have an open competition, but why should you do this? Hall Master Jin wants to kill me to get revenge for his son, what about you? And do you really think that Hall Master Jin will come to save you?¡± ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, I do not understand what you are saying, my skill was inferior to him, so I lost, that¡¯s all.¡± Yi Suo coldly looked at Ye Chuan and denied. He absolutely couldn¡¯t admit that this was his and Hall Master Jin Zhikun¡¯s scheme. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, do you really think that we will definitely lose this final match and I, Big senior apprentice-brother will have to cut off my arm, so even if I return alive to Cloud Mist Sect, I will not be able to maintain my Big Disciple seat. As a result, I can do nothing about you?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head once again, then pitifully looking at still stubborn Yi Suo, he said: ¡°Pitiful, so pitiful, a genius fall down just like this, but even now he doesn¡¯t come to realize. When heaven sends calamities down, there¡¯s hope of weathering them, but when a man brings calamities upon himself, there¡¯s no hope of escape. Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, do you really think that your scheme was unknown to god or ghost? Hall Master Jin at mountain gully of halfway up the mountain taught you how to do, and you really did, ai, this IQ¡­¡­¡± Yi Suo who was fearless and still had a seer on his face, hearing this, his complexion suddenly had huge changes, ¡°You¡­¡­, how do you know?¡± ¡°When people are working, heaven is watching.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said, then no longer looked at Yi Suo. And the latter¡¯s face was overcast and uncertain, and only after a good while, he was able to calm down. After Ye Chuan mention about the mountain gully of halfway up the mountain, he understood that the scheme of him and Hall Master Jin Zhikun was already exposed. But as long as Cloud Mist Sect lost the next final match, Ye Chuan would lose completely, and would be dragged down from the Big Disciple position too. And at that time, Jin Zhikun and Third Elder will naturally think of a way to clear him. Thinking this, Yi Suo forcibly calmed down, although a little mishap had arisen, and Ye Chuan had already seen through their scheme, but the situation was still under the control of him and Jin Zhikun! In the distant place, the complexion of Hall Master Jin Zhikun who was hiding behind a pile of rocks was gloomy and his eyes were shining. No one knew what he was thinking. Seeing Yi Suo was arrested, he didn¡¯t come forward to rescue him and also didn¡¯t leave in panic, rather continue to watch calmly. And the hubbub of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect also quieted down quickly. Everyone was waiting for the final match, calmly waiting for the truth comes to light! ¡°Hahaha, now there is only a final match left, surnamed Ye, I wish you a good luck! What¡¯s the delay for, quickly begin!¡± Tuoba Xiong roared with laughter, seeing the internal conflict of Cloud Mist Sect, he was very pleased. Then with the profound complexion, he hastened the arbitrators on the life and death arena, lest a long delay means trouble. He had already made an agreement with Five Style Sect¡¯s Elder Tu in secret that if Ye Chuan personally entered into the arena for this final match, then kill him at all costs. If he is dead, then the betting pact between Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiaoniao would naturally cease to exist! Tuoba Xiong looked bold and unconstrained on the surface, but was meticulous in his heart, and was also proficient in scheming. Very quickly, the final match ensued, it was Cloud Mist Sect against Five Style Sect. Cloud Mist sect was at three wins three defeats, and had fallen to the bottom from the first place. As for Black Cauldron Sect, it was in the second place and Five Style Sect being in the first place. If Cloud Mist Sect won this final match, then Black Cauldron Sect would be the one that would rank last; and conversely, if Cloud Mist Sect lost, then they would be ranked last. Everybody was tense, and especially the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, they were even tenser. The heartbeat of fatty and others quickened all of a sudden. In this final match, who would enter the arena representing Cloud Mist Sect? Zhu Sijia draped a heavy armor and prepared to enter the arena, but just when she was about to enter the arena, Ye Chuan stopped her, then calling fatty, he whispered instruction to him. After that, the latter was dumbfounded, but quickly afterward, he dashed away. Meanwhile, a figure flew out from the crowd of Five Style Sect, jumping into the life and death arena. He was tall, handsome and was expressionless. The energy fluctuation of his body was not that inferior to Nan Tiandu, and after entering the life and death arena, he coldly stared at Ye Chuan. He was none other than the Big Disciple of Five Style Sect, Gushan Leng! ¡°Ye Chuan, come, I will use only one hand, and also let you make three moves first.¡± Gushan Leng coldly said without any expression, but his eyes were gloomy and cold as if a viper. The people off the life and death arena made an uproar hearing this. What a big tone, use only one hand, moreover, let him make three moves first, who had this kind of courage and boldness? Although this was very surprising, but people quickly calmed down and look forward to the match. Although Gushan Leng was very insane, but he definitely had that capability. Rank 7 Wuzhe against Rank 3 Xiushi, if Ye Chuan really entered the arena, then he was screwed! Will Ye Chuan personally enter the arena? Nan Tiandu couldn¡¯t fight, Zhu SIjia wasn¡¯t his opponent, so who will represent Cloud Mist Sect for this final match? All people simultaneously looked over, and even fiery tempered Second Elder Nangong Ren who feared neither Heaven nor Earth also couldn¡¯t help but became solemn. Chapter 94: A master hand’s first small display of skill Chapter 94: A master hand¡¯s first small display of skill The boasting of Gushan Leng on life and death arena pushed the excitement of the surrounding to the peak. But even after waiting for a while, no-one from Cloud Mist Sect entered the arena. So Gushan Leng provoked again. This time, he claimed that he would use only one hand, moreover, let Ye Chuan make 10 moves in advance, causing a sensation among the disciples of three sects once again. Gushan Leng was very sure of his victory, so he became more and more aggressive. But, there was still no movement within the group of Cloud Mist Sect. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t react in any way to Gushan Leng¡¯s provocation, neither he himself went to the arena nor he sent anyone else onto the arena. People made an uproar and clamored, especially the personnel of Black Cauldron Sect, they began to jeer loudly and hissed continuously. And after a good while, Tuoba Xiong lost his patience and when stepped forward to exert pressure to hasten, fatty Zhao Dazhi finally arrived with a person. This person was not tall, and with a big bamboo hat on his head, his facial features couldn¡¯t be seen. He wore the gown of Cloud Mist Sect disciple, and appeared to be a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, but no one knew why, this person gave people a strange feeling. The energy fluctuation of his body was rather different from the common people, and there seemed to be a faint aura of yao beast on his body. ¡°Disciple Wu Yong pays respect to Big senior apprentice-brother!¡± This uninvited guest directly came in front of Ye Chuan, then bowing slightly, he loudly greeted him. Wu Yong? Wasn¡¯t this outer sect disciple fatally injured by the assassins, and had already taken his last breath, how¡­¡­ The eyes of Zhu Sijia widened, when the assassins dashed out from underground to assassinate Ye Chuan, outer sect disciple Wu Yong unluckily happens to be passing by to deliver the midnight snack, and at that time, his heart was piece through by an arrow. Later, although they used all their strength to save him, they were still unable to turn around a hopeless situation. The other people of Cloud Mist Sect were unclear, but Zhu Sijia had personally helped him treat his wound, then had personally seen him taking his last breath. Merely at that time, they didn¡¯t have time for funeral affairs, so they still hadn¡¯t buried the corpse, but how did he suddenly appear here? Arise from the dead, or¡­¡­ Zhu Sjia was shocked in her heart, but there was a person who was more shocked than her. Not far away, outer sect disciple Wang Li who had entered the sect not long after Wu Yong was dumbstruck. Other were unfamiliar to Wu Yong, but he and the latter had been together from morning to night. When the uninvited guest bowed towards Ye Chuan, his facial features were finally revealed. In a glance, it would appear that his outline was similar to Wu Yong, but looking carefully, there were also many different aspects, moreover, his facial muscles were stiff and his expression was also stiff, was downright similar to the rigid corpse that had climbed out from underground, looked very frightening. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Wang Li, don¡¯t be too excited, with Big senior apprentice-brother here, even if your brother Wu Yong wants to die, he cannot die.¡± Fatty quickly covered the mouth of outer sect disciple Wang Li. The eyes of Zhu Sijia flashed, looking at the abnormal behavior of Wang Li and again looking at fatty who was trying to cover up, she suddenly understood what was going on. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Wu Yong, go. After this battle, move to Purple Cloud Peak to become my assistance, then you don¡¯t need to worry about those trivial chores anymore.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently instructed. These words that sounded very normal to other people nevertheless made the eyes of this uninvited guest shine. And understanding what was going on, he smirked and jumped onto the life and death arena. In accordance with the instruction of Ye Chuan, fatty had brought over horned demon Na Gusi. On the surface, fatty Zaho Dazhi was calm and had covered the mouth of outer sect disciple Wang Li just in time, but in fact, in his heart, he was more afraid than anyone else here, and the fatty meat on his body was continuously trembling. When he went to see horned demon Na Gusi after he got instruction, he personally saw the latter using Nine Transformation Demonic Technique passed down by Ye Chuan to disguise as outer sect disciple Wu Yong. That as if small mountain three meters tall burly body shrunk into less than 1.7 meters tall just with cracking sounds, which was accompanied by that laughter which sounded just like the cawing of a big demonic bird. At that time, fatty was half dead with fright. He will never be able to forget that process in his lifetime. ¡°Who are you? Announce your name, this noble son doesn¡¯t kill a nameless person!¡± Five Style Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Gushan Leng was already impatient after waiting for so long, so stepping forward, he aggressively said, ¡°What Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, clearly is just a coward that doesn¡¯t dare to enter the arena. Come, this noble son will use only one hand, moreover, let you use 10 moves first, then after killing you brat, again¡­¡­¡± Woosh! On the life and death arena, suddenly a fierce wind blew. And Horned Demon Na Gusi had already caught the neck of boasting Gushan Leng, then after his neck was twisted, his body weakly collapsed to the ground. Five Style Sect¡¯s Big Disciple of this generation died just like this. He wasn¡¯t even able to clearly see the appearance of horned demon Na Gusi before his death, no need to mention about reacting in any way! Now, on the life and death arena, only the laughter of horned demon Na Gusi reverberated. A master hand¡¯s first small display of skill! Ye Chuan was satisfied in his heart, he actually hadn¡¯t judge wrong, horned demon Na Gusi was indeed a sharp butcher¡¯s knife. Who is this? Even compared to millennium genius Nan Tiandu, he is more powerful and hundred times more ruthless! When did such heaven-defying experts appear in the younger generation of Cloud Mist Sect? Off the life and death arena, all the disciples of three sects were dumbstruck, and only after a good while, the reaction came, the whole audience flared up. ¡°He is not younger generation disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, is an expert of the older generation, guards, capture him for me!¡± Tuoba Xiong was startled and was also angry, then suddenly standing up, he commanded. Several Protectors of Black Cauldron Sect jumped out in succession after receiving the order, and when the wanted to join hands to capture horned demon Na Gusi, a short old man carrying a hoe on his shoulder blocked their path. ¡°Tuoba Xiong, don¡¯t be a sore loser? Now that your younger generation disciples are no match, do you want to publicly act shamelessly? Open your dog eyes, and look, this is our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciple Wu Yong, has long been registered as a participant, so where is the older generation expert? I pah!¡± Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Second Elder Nangong Ren jumped up, blocking the path of those several protectors of Black Cauldron Sect. The first time he saw horned demon Na Gusi, he frowned and sensed something fishy, as the other party obviously didn¡¯t have the unique faint medicinal fragrance that all the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect had, so he was sure that he obviously wasn¡¯t the outer sect disciple called Wu Yong. But, at this time, he naturally wouldn¡¯t expose it. ¡°Eh, that¡¯s right, it¡¯s really him!¡± ¡°Impossible, impossible!¡± On the life and death arena, the arbitrators of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect took out the portrait of Cloud Mist Sect Disciple Wu Yong, and after comparing for a while, they had nothing to say. The disciples of three sects that were going to participate in the Great Competition had already been recorded long ago, and in one glance, there was nothing unusual with horned demon Na Gusi. The complexion of Tuoba Xiong sank, he clearly sensed something fishy, but for the time being, he could do nothing. The final match of Martial Competition suddenly ended just like this, surprising everyone! After the deliberate defeat of Yi Suo, Cloud Mist Sect which had fallen to the last position unbelievably defeated the strongest disciple of Five Style Sect and rose to the first place all of a sudden. Tuoba Xiong¡¯s complexion got ashen, but the complexion of Yi Suo who was tightly bound was even more deathly pale, and his body was trembling. His scheme failed once again. This time, Ye Chuan who had led the group into the battle was in the greatest limelight, making all the personnel of Cloud Mist Sect feel proud and elated. So now, how can he pull down Ye Chuan from the sect¡¯s Big Disciple position? Now that he failed the mission, how can he get away from this? Even if his master Third Elder let him off, how will he clear his name? Yi Suo who was fearless until just a moment ago suddenly was scared and the more he thought, the more restless he became. After that he looked all around, trying to find the figure of Hall Master Jin Zhikun to ask for his help, unfortunately, seeing the situation was anything but reassuring, Jin Zhukun who was hiding behind rocks had already slipped away. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, I find it embarrassing to say but my Cloud Mist Sect accidentally won by luck. That said, I wonder if that betting pact your honorable sect¡¯s Big Disciple Hong Lie had set up before still¡­¡­¡­, count or not?¡± Ye Chuan stood up, then looked at Tuoba Xiong with a smile. Instantly, the complexion of this formidable man Tuoba Xiong who considered himself best in the world in former days become unprecedentedly ugly. And as for Hong Lie who was watching the battle standing among the crowd leaning on crutches, his entire body shivered, then profusely sweating, he turned around and walked away. Chapter 95: Careful, Sect Master become Eunuch? Chapter 95: Careful, Sect Master become Eunuch? Sensing the situation was not good, Hong Lie hastily used ¡®if everything else fails, retreat¡¯ plan. Unfortunately, within a big crowd, jostling with crutches was especially conspicuous. The complexion of Tuoba Xiong was ugly, but with a calm face, he didn¡¯t speak. ¡°Sect Master doesn¡¯t need to feel embarrassed, it was just a small betting pact, forget about it.¡± Ye Chuan calmly said, then he looked at the back view of Hong Lie who was walking away in panic, then looked at Tuoba Xiong with ugly complexion, and finally looked at gentle and graceful Tuoba Xiaoniao and said with a smile, ¡°In any case, for your Black Cauldron Sect, going back on one¡¯s word is very normal. I am already accustomed to it.¡± The face of Tuoba Xiaoniao suddenly become red, recalling the idiotic matter of her father using a Big Bird to pass off as herself. ¡°Forget? After setting up the betting pact, what¡¯s to be done should be done, why forget? Where is Hong Lie?¡± Tuoba Xiong with gloomy complexion suddenly shouted angrily. And Hong Lie who was rushing outside immediately trembled, and sensing the gaze of Tuoba Xiong, he had no choice but to brace himself and turn around. But after walking ten or so steps, his legs suddenly softened. ¡°Hong Lie, carry out the betting pact you had set yourself. As a Big Disciple of my sect, are you going to disgrace the sect?¡± Tuoba Xiong ruthlessly said, then taking the sword from the Protector beside him, he threw it beside Hong Lie. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, I¡­¡­¡± The whole body of Hong Lie trembled, and after hesitating for a good while, he ferociously glared at Ye Chuan with resentment, then picking up the sharp sword, he swung it, personally chopping off his own arm. Is he truly cutting? All the surrounding people cried out in alarm, as bloody scene startled them. ¡°Ai, why, there was no need for this.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and said, ¡°I already said forget about it, it was just a betting pact, nothing more, why so serious?¡± ¡°Surnamed Ye, this time I lost, but next time, you will definitely lose. And one day, I, Hong Lie will definitely chop off both your arms!¡± Hong Lie just covered the bleeding like pig wound, and even though his body was shaking and he nearly fell down, he didn¡¯t treat the wound immediately, instead ferociously stared at Ye Chuan, and his eyes were full of resentment and malicious. Tuoba Xiong was Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master, so he didn¡¯t dare to be resentful towards him. So he directed all his anger and resentment towards Ye Chuan. ¡°I will accompany you at any time, merely, I fear you might not have that chance.¡± Ye Chuan sneered. Sure enough, not long after Hong Lie retorted, Tuoba Xiong¡¯s voice resounded in the ear of Hong Lie, ¡°Hong Lie, return to the sect to treat your injury, go now. And after you treat your injury, report to Mountain Patrolling Hall, hereafter you are especially responsible to guard the sect entrance, no need to come back to see me, later I will select another Big Disciple!¡± What, select another Big Disciple? Hong Lie¡¯s complexion blackened, then vomiting mouthful of blood, he lost his consciousness, feeling incomparably furious and aggrieved. Black Cauldron Sect had always placed importance on strength, so although he knew that Sect Master Tuoba Xiong was already dissatisfied with him, and he was very likely to lose sect¡¯s Big Disciple position, but Hong Lie had never dreamed nor expected that this day would actually come so fast! To show off in front of Tuoba Xiaoniao, he tried to suppressed Ye Chuan and boasted greatly, but unexpectedly, in the end, now he was empty-handed. He had fallen down to the ground from the sky! ¡°A person cannot be too shameless, and he shouldn¡¯t single-mindedly think of harming other people, otherwise, they will only harm themselves.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said looking at bound Yi Suo. The face of Yi Suo suddenly became ghastly pale without a trace of blood. Opposing Big senior apprentice-brother, this was the end result! Five Style Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Gushan Leng died, a single move of horned demon Na Gusi instantly killed him. Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Hong Lie was also finished, he will never have the opportunity to turn over, and what about himself? How will Big senior apprentice-brother deal with him? Yi Suo¡¯s mind became tense and his body began to tremble. Now, his only hope rests on Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun. He hoped the latter will quickly notify his master Third Elder who had stayed behind to take care of things in Cloud Mist Sect, so that he would think of a way to exculpate him. ¡°Brat, you are lucky! But this Great Competition is not over yet. Now the Martial Competition is over, but there is still Literary Competition, do you have guts to personally enter the competition this time?¡± Tuoba Xiong walked over, and with ferocious complexion, he said aggressively. Now he had a belly full of anger. ¡°No problem, as a sect¡¯s Big Disciple, this is my duty.¡± Beyond his expectation, Ye Chuan agreed. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi, Zhu Sijia and others anxiously called out. In Eagle Beak Cliff, there was not only life and death arena, there furthermore was a special rubble. This was a remnant of the very ancient formation, commonly known as Rubble Formation. As soon as a person enters inside, they will fall into a dense illusion. Only very few people were able to pass through those illusions. And if one couldn¡¯t withstand these illusions, they would be forced out with light aftermath being exhausted vitality and some injury, and heavy aftermath being going insane or suffering heavy damage in their spirit. In the Great Competition of three sects, Marital Competition was held on life and death arena, and the so-called Literary Competition was entering this Rubble Formation, and see who can walk the farthest, and persist inside the longest. Marital Competition ended, Cloud Mist Sect turned the tide and attained the first place, so Zhu Sijia and others were feeling proud and elated and were itching to have a go. They had already made the preparation to enter the Rubble Formation. Although Ye Chuan, this Big senior apprentice-brother was excellent in stratagem, but his cultivation however was inferior to the overwhelming majority of sect¡¯s disciples, so after stepping into the Rubble Formation, how will he escape unscathed? ¡°It¡¯s alright, rest assured, I, Big senior apprentice-brother have a proper sense of propriety!¡± Ye Chuan answered while waving his hand. ¡°Hahaha, good, brat, you have some backbone. But, that kind of people often dies very quickly, hahaha!¡± Tuoba Xiong laughed, he had never thought that Ye Chuan would easily fall into his trap like this, now he was dead for sure. After thinking, he sinisterly said: ¡°Brat, like Martial Competition, how about we add a bet? Whoever loses, he has to personally sever one of his own legs!¡± ¡°What meaning does personally severing one leg have? If want to sever, then how about severing the third leg by wielding a sword to publicly castrate oneself. Your Excellency Sect Master, what do you think?¡± The brief remark of Ye Chuan startled all, and the face of Tuoba Xiong sunk all of a sudden. Personally severing one leg was fine, but wielding a sword to publicly castrate oneself, this was too much! After castrating himself, he would change into Eunuch from Sect Master. According to the reason, he will not have to castrate himself, as Ye Chuan was sure to lose, but what if? Tuoba Xiong pondered with sinister and uncertain complexion. As a Sect Master, no need to speak about how the result would turn out first, simply making this type of betting pact was beneath his dignity, he couldn¡¯t dismiss it simply saying it was a joke. Afterwards, when other people point towards him saying he was a person who betted to castrate himself in public with a junior, where would he place his face? ¡°It was just a joke, Your Excellency Sect Master, don¡¯t take it so seriously. If it¡¯s always killing, cutting off hand, severing leg and anything that is violent, it¡¯s very boring, how about we stake a crystal stone mine this time, what¡¯s your thought on this?¡± Ye Chuan said with a smile. Of course, he had deliberately said the matter of castrating oneself just a moment ago to make a fool out of Tuoba Xiong. Tuoba Xiong had always schemed, suppressed, handled affairs by fair means or foul, and taken pleasure making a fool out of others throughout his life. But this time, Ye Chuan made a fool out of him in public. ¡°Fine, a crystal stone mine! Brat, you will definitely lose!¡± Tuoba Xiong ferociously glared at Ye Chuan, then turning around, he walked away to arrange the manpower to enter the Rubble Formation. Lost in Martial Competition, so he must win back in Literary Competition. Not only must they win, but also had to win beautifully, moreover they had to seize the opportunity to kill Ye Chuan inside the Rubble Formation, killing two birds with one stone! ¡°That old fellow, Tuoba Xiong will not compete honestly, so it will be very dangerous inside Rubble Formation. Ye Chuan, did you consider clearly?¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren worriedly said looking at Ye Chuan. ¡°I¡¯ve already considered clearly.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. ¡°Then take along Nan Tiandu and¡­¡­, your that junior apprentice-brother.¡± Looking at horned demon Na Gusi who was disguised as the outer sect disciple Wu Yong in one side, the brows of Second Elder Nangong Ren slightly rose. At this moment, horned demon Na Gusi had reached 1.8 meters tall from less than 1.7 meters tall, beginning to be unable to suppress his original form. Nine Transformation Demonic Technique was very profound, but horned demon Na Gusi had grasped only first core law, moreover, he had just begun to cultivate, so he was still far from reaching the state where he transform as he please. ¡°No need, I will participate alone in this match. Wu Yong, you can withdraw.¡± Taking a quick glance at horned demon Na Gusi, he faintly instructed him. Then the latter laughed and left this place, finally reverting back to his original form. After that, he disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving no trace behind, then finding a corner to hide, he continued to train Nine Transformation Demonic Technique. Chapter 96: Literary Competition Chapter 96: Literary Competition After Martial Competition, three great sects quickly held Literary Competition. From Cloud Mist Sect, only Ye Chuan entered the competition, but Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect respectively dispatched over hundred elite disciples. And unlike Martial Competition, Literary Competition only had a single chance. So whoever walks farthest and persist longest inside the Rubble Formation will be the winner. Along with the whistling sound of arbitrators, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect¡¯s elites rushed in striving to be the first and feared being left behind. Ye Chuan however stood still waiting for the people of two sects to enter, then he leisurely entered. Inside Rubble Formation, immediately after entering, illusions appeared, but the people who were looking from outside the formation however sense nothing profound, and they could clearly see the activities inside the formation. The elites of Five Style Sect were absorbed in the competition, simultaneously charging deeper. But the elites of Black Cauldron Sect however were different. After entering the Rubble Formation, they quickly split into two groups. And one group consisting half of the total disciples charged deeper, competing with the disciples of Five Style Sect, whereas the other group however slowed down their pace and even stopped moving. After that, each and every one of them unsheathed their sword with killing intent. Obviously, they had another mission, which was to kill Ye Chuan inside the Rubble Formation! ¡°No, Big senior apprentice-brother is in danger!¡± ¡°This despicable old dog!¡± Outside Rubble Formation, fatty, Zhu Sijia and others got nervous. After losing in Martial Competition, Tuoba Xiong no longer cared about his face, and was attempting to kill Ye Chuan without any disguise! With only Wuzhe realm cultivation, Ye Chuan was already in great danger inside the Rubble Formation, but now, numerous disciples of Black Cauldron Sect were trying to kill him, wasn¡¯t this placing him in an even more dangerous situation? Outside Rubble Formation, silence reigns, not only the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, even the people of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were staring at the situation without even blinking their eyes, wanting to see whether Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Ye Chaun would toughen his scalp and charge forward or take the initiative to give up, while he still hadn¡¯t walked far away and could quickly retreat. Ye Chuan naturally didn¡¯t give up, rather continue to leisurely walk forward entirely unaware of the danger ahead. Outside formation, fatty and others screamed loudly to warn, but Ye Chuan still remained as before, their voices basically wasn¡¯t transmitted inside this formation. A disciple of Black Cauldron Sect hiding behind a rock for ambush suddenly jumped out and stabbed his sword towards the space between the eyes of Ye Chuan. The sword light flashed as if rainbow, the cultivation of this disciple of Black Cauldron Sect wasn¡¯t shallow. The sharp end of his sword emitted three inches long sword light, and his sword stab¡¯s speed was astonishing, but the counterattack of Ye Chuan was faster. Outside the Rubble Formation, people merely saw a hint of blade light streak across the sky, then, this ambushing disciple of Black Cauldron Sect collapsed. His throat was cut open by an extremely thin blade. When close at hand, one attack was enough to cause death, there is no need for the second move! Either kill or get killed! This was Inch Light! Ye Chuan calmly continued to leisurely walk forward without even looking at the corpse on the ground. Many people didn¡¯t even see how he attacked, but the pupils of a small number of real experts shrunk. They saw extremely thin blades in the space between the fingers of Ye Chuan. Four in the left hand, four in the right hand, altogether there were eight blades that could imperceptibly kill people! Is this the real strength of Ye Chuan? Who said the cultivation of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple is mediocre and even inferior to many outer sect disciples? People were shocked, personally seeing the strength of Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. Many people that were making an uproar, saying Ye Chuan was just a coward and wanted to challenge Ye Chuan for a battle, quickly became silent. The cultivation of Ye Chuan appeared to be not up to much, merely was Rank 7 Wuzhe, but now they saw Ye Chuan killing an elite disciple of Black Cauldron Sect whose cultivation was Rank 2 Xiushi this easily with their own eyes. And after asking themselves, they no longer had any confidence to fight against Ye Chuan. Just the eight sharp blades in the space between his fingers greatly shocked the disciples of three sects, but no one knew that under his tongue, there still hides a blade which was even more lethal. Yet another disciple of Black Cauldron Sect rushed out to kill seemingly defenseless Ye Chuan. Inside Rubble Formation, suddenly, blade light appeared again. Ye Chuan continued to walk forward leisurely. He walked slowly but his pace was stable, the distance between his every step was exactly the same. After walking three steps, this disciple that had tried to kill Ye Chuan fell to the ground with a bang, and stopped breathing. There were no injuries on his body, merely an extremely thin cut on his throat, from where blood seeped out continuously. Even after all this, the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect ambushed him one after another, and sometimes they ambushed him in groups. But even when they ambushed him in groups, no one was able to stop the advancing steps of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan still continued to walk forward leaving behind corpses behind him. Fatty, Zhu Sijia and others who originally were very tense got excited, and they cheered for Ye Chuan. As for the people of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, they were silent, and especially Black Cauldron Sect, the complexion of every one of them was unsightly. Tuoba Xiong¡¯s complexion got gloomy, and seeing the elite disciples of Black Cauldron Sect falling inside the Rubble Formation, his eyelid jumped. He wasn¡¯t distressed for the death of the elite disciples of his sect, rather seeing the strength of Ye Chuan, he was shocked, startled and also angry. He truly had never expected that, Ye Chuan, this mediocre Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect in former days was unexpectedly hiding his strength. Not only he acted dumb being very intelligent, his strength was also very alarming, even he had made an error of judgment. After a little while, almost all the disciples who had stayed behind to kill Ye Chuan died. And those who were alive were still alive weren¡¯t because their cultivation was higher, rather they wisely choose to hide without daring to attack Ye Chuan. Due to the illusion inside Rubble Formation, the disciples of Black Caldron Sect and Five Style Sect who had spared no effort to rush forward from the very beginning began to slow down. Some continued to advance forward, but even more began to standstill being trapped inside the illusion formation having no way to free themselves. Some people pulled out their sword and began to slash the empty air, some began to laugh heartily and some began to cry loudly as if they had gone insane, and frequently some people were forced out from inside the formation. Ye Chuan however leisurely walked forward, others were risking their lives, but he however was taking a leisurely walk as if this ancient formation was his quiet and peaceful courtyard. Although his pace was not fast, but the distance between him and those elite disciples who had rushed in the beginning was gradually reducing. Then, under the disbelief gaze of people, he leisurely walked pass them, and continued to walk straight across this formation. The deeper one went, the more powerful the Rubble Formation get, and most of the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect finally were unable to walk forward and came to stop halfway, now they were no longer seeing who would cross the formation, rather who could persist inside the formation the longest, that¡¯s all. But on the other side of the Rubble Formation, seeing relaxed Ye Chuan, the disciples of all three sects were dumbstruck, and even Tuoba Xiong was stupefied. Even a Daoist Master might not necessarily pass through this Rubble Formation so effortlessly, also because of this, it was used as the site for the Literary Competition. But how did Ye Chuan accomplish this? Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Second Elder Nangong Ren was also speechless, he knew that Ye Chuan was very well versed in growing medicinal herbs as well as alchemy. But when did this Sect Master¡¯s personal disciple became so proficient in formations? Was he truly the same cowardly and reclusive Big Disciple Ye Chuan who was trampled upon by everyone? ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, I find this embarrassing, but I win again. Where¡¯s the agreed mine located?¡± Ye Chuan walked over to the front of Tuoba Xiong in all smiles, and his complexion was still relaxed. The elite disciples of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect who were forced out of Rubble Formation were badly battler, and some of they were even unconscious, but Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t have even a bit of uncomfortableness, appearing as if he had just gone inside for a leisurely walk. For the disciples of three sects, this Rubble Formation of Eagle Beak Cliff was a forbidden area, as after entering it, they would fall into illusions. But for Ye Chuan, that was nothing. This so-called ancient formation was something casually set up by a Sage realm expert of millions of years ago. And after entering it, the higher the cultivation realm, the greater the obstruction they are subjected to, but if an ordinary person and Wuzhe realm cultivators enter, they wouldn¡¯t be affected at all, so they could simply pass unimpeded. For the past many years, only the elite disciples of three great sects entered this Rubble Formation, and those who had low cultivation didn¡¯t even dare to approach near this formation. But no one had thought that, passing through this formation was in fact very simple, so simple that no one dared to think that method. The face of Tuoba Xiong blackened. They lost Martial Competition, and also lost Literary Competition too. They came to this Great Competition with great fanfare, but they nevertheless were empty-handed in the end, moreover, they completely lost their face! Chapter 97: Heaven and earth chessboard Chapter 97: Heaven and earth chessboard After hearing the question of Ye Chuan, Tuoba Xiong tossed out the papers of a mine towards Ye Chuan, then with the troops of Black Cauldron Sect, he angrily left. ¡°A year later, if you don¡¯t come looking for me, then I will come to Cloud Mist Sect to kill you!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao coldly said looking at Ye Chuan, then walked away. ¡°My dear, a year is too long, I already can¡¯t wait any longer, how about coming this evening.¡± Ye Chuan said with a smile, and looking at the graceful back view of Tuoba Xiaoniao, he suddenly recalled Jin Hua, that silkpants. Thinking back, that kid really suffered the injustice. At that time, it was big Bird pretending to be Tuoba Xiaoniao, so he was so afraid that he wanted to flee from the marriage. But, did he ever think that the real Tuoba Xiaoniao was so charming and exquisite? Tuoba Xiaoniao staggered hearing Ye Chuan, then turning around her head, she ferociously glaring at Ye Chuan. After that, gritting her teeth, she quickened her steps, leaving in haste. She didn¡¯t dare to delay any longer, because she feared that Ye Chuan would speak out more words that would make her feel even more ashamed to show her face. Treacherous, despicable, villain, shameless¡­¡­ Tuoba Xiaoniao cursed Ye Chuan thousands of times in her heart while walking faster and faster. And from behind her, the laughter of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect resounded. Joyful! Turning defeat into victory in Martial Competition, leaving behind everyone in dust in Literary Competition, even more, skilled in flirting with women, had both courage and cunning, and was faithful, this was the real Big senior apprentice-brother! All the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect felt proud and elated. Now they were carefree and comfortable in their heart. Some people hastily rush towards the sect to inform this good news. In these last few years, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were always bullied and oppressed by Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect when they went outside to gain experience, so they fought repeatedly, in which they would win less and lose more. So winning this Great Competition made all disciples elated. ¡°Noble son Ye, congratulation for your complete victory.¡± Liu Hong walked over and congratulated Ye Chuan. Now she was wearing a skin-tight battle armor on her upper body, revealing her snow-white and deep ravine right above her breasts. And she was wearing a short leather skirt on her lower body. This skirt was even shorter compared to her usual skirt, exposing her shining white thighs and long legs without any cover. ¡°Thank You, my luck was comparatively better.¡± Ye Chuan smiled. Facing this hot and sexy Liu Hong, fatty and others were stealing a glance at her. But Ye Chuan however openly looked her from head to foot, then foot to head. After that, shaking his head, he said: ¡°A pity, a pity ah¡­¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s pity? Is there something inappropriate?¡± Liu Hong somewhat curiously asked, then pretending to be shy, she tried to pull down her short leather skirt that couldn¡¯t be any shorter. ¡°No, you are fine, what I mean is, it¡¯s a pity that you are not a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, and not my junior apprentice-sister. Otherwise, if you made a mistake then I could spank your buttocks.¡± Ye Chuan answered. Liu Hong giggled, looking straight into the eyes of Ye Chuan. And this giggle made her look even more charming. They lost Martial Competition, they also lost Literary Competition, and furthermore, they even lost a powerful treasure, Blood Lance. So the five elders of Five Style Sect had wretched complexion and they refused to leave just like this. The death of sect¡¯s Big Disciple Gushan Leng didn¡¯t matter, as they could choose another one as per the usual practice, in any case, there were a lot of experts in the younger generation. But Blood Lance in the hand of Ye Chuan however was different, but they didn¡¯t know how they can take it back from the hands of Ye Chuan. The complexion of Elder Tu was gloomy, and all the disciples of Five Style Sect didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily seeing this. Only Liu Hong indifferently walked over and strike up a conversation with Ye Chuan. ¡°Humph, truly has no sense of shame!¡± Zhu Sijia turned her face to one side, and the smile disappeared from her face. Also, no one knew whether she was cursing Ye Chuan or cursing boldly dressed Liu Hong. ¡°Noble son Ye, recently, several overseas cultivators came to underground Ghost Market, bringing various kinds of strange fruits, medicinal herbs and seeds, I wonder if you are interested? How about we make a time to take a look at them together?¡± Liu Hong walked to the side of Ye Chuan and whispered in his ear. ¡°This¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan mumbled without answering immediately. The looks of Liu Hong was very pretty, and she could easily charm any people, but for Ye Chuan, she was still too inexperienced. As a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, what kind of woman had he never seen before? And he was very clear about beautiful women brings on a disaster, so he didn¡¯t want to get too close to her, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, noble son Ye, you dared to lead a group to come and compete in Great Competition, and dared to enter Rubble Formation alone, but you don¡¯t have guts to have a stroll around Ghost market with me? After three days, I will be waiting for you in underground Ghost market at dusk, see you there. Okay, I¡¯ll not speak much, otherwise, your little junior apprentice-sister will explode.¡± Liu Hong whispered to Ye Chuan, then taking a quick glance at Zhu Sijia, she caught up with the big group of Five Style Sect. Behind, fatty and others continuously stared at her pert buttocks without even blinking. ¡°Humph, didn¡¯t you look enough, is that vixen so beautiful?¡± Zhu Sijia angrily glared at Ye Chuan. She didn¡¯t know why but just seeing Liu Hong, she would immediately get angry, moreover, seeing her together with Ye Chuan, she would get even angrier. ¡°Beautiful, scenery is infinitely beautiful.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, nearly driving Zhu Sijia nuts. Then pointing at the rocks of Rubble Formation, he faintly said, ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand, I am speaking about the surrounding scenery. Don¡¯t you find this Rubble Formation of Eagle Beak Cliff somewhat out of place, and the surrounding peaks also somewhat odd?¡± Ye Chuan looked into the distance, then looking at majestic and very steep mountain peaks of the surrounding, he became somewhat absent-minded, and indescribable desolate expression appeared on his face. This bone piercing desolate feeling emitted from his spirit itself deeply enveloped the heart of all people here. Even the heart of Zhu Sijia was stirred up, and she swallowed back the curses which were already at the tip of her tongue. ¡°I don¡¯t see any difference. Big Senior apprentice-brother, what¡¯s so odd about these mountain peaks?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi shook his head and asked curiously, as even after carefully looking, he wasn¡¯t able to see any difference. The people of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect had already walked far away, and very quickly, they disappeared. Now on Eagle Beak Cliff, only the people of Cloud Mist Sects were left. But Ye Chuan didn¡¯t walk, so not a single person moved. ¡°Nothing, merely these mountain peaks are rather very beautiful, that¡¯s all. Let¡¯s not return tonight, we¡¯ll return tomorrow.¡± Ye Chuan faintly smiled, then entered Rubble Formation once again, the climbing on the tallest rock, he sat down cross-legged, and muttered: ¡°With earth as chessboard, with mountain peaks as chess pieces¡­¡­, after millions of years, I, Ye Chuan am here again, but you all are gone¡­¡± Ye Chuan was touched and couldn¡¯t help expressing his feelings, while sitting on the rock in a daze. A very long time ago, the surroundings of Eagle Beak Cliff was not like this, instead of mountain peaks, the surroundings of Eagle Beak Cliff was a flatland, with only Eagle Beak Cliff standing erect in the middle of the flatland. Later, Ye Chaun entertained an expert here. And on the whim of both sides, they took earth as a chessboard, and mountain peaks as chess pieces, and using their powerful techniques, they moved mountain peaks from far away to play a chess, changing the terrain of this place beyond recognition. And the Rubble Formation on the top of the Eagle Beak Cliff was something they had causally set up to prevent outsiders from interfering with the chess game. At that time, accompanying beside Ye Chuan were, the founder of Cloud Mist Sect Ghost hand Medicinal King as well as his other tigers and wolves like followers. Unfortunately, now, all of them were gone. Fatty and others turned around, and busied themselves to sort out the campsite. But Zhu Sijia was somewhat absentminded, as she vaguely heard the muttering of Ye Chuan, but she didn¡¯t understand what was going on. Merely the eyes of Second Elder Nangong Ren suddenly shone, then carefully looking for a while, he discovered the mountain peaks of the surroundings had crisscrossed path, as if a white silk ribbon between green hills and black water, and again like some kind of lines. ¡°With earth as a chessboard, and with mountain peaks as chess pieces, Ye Chuan, he¡­¡­¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren trembled, and suddenly a thought appeared in his heart, then his eyes flashed with pallid light. After that, he gradually calmed down. Now, Cloud Mist Sect was steadily deteriorating, so it needed a Big Disciple who could stand out from his fellows and had the ability of turn the tide, everything else was less important. After that Second Elder pretended to know nothing, then turned away. Behind, Ye Chuan intentionally or intentionally looked at his back view, then smiled faintly. Although this old man was hot-tempered, wouldn¡¯t endure anything at all, and appeared rash, but he was wise than anyone in essence! Chapter 98: Great Divine Yin Chapter 98: Great Divine Yin Not long after the people of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect left, the sky began to darken. In the campsite, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect went on a drinking spree, celebrating the complete victory of this Great Competition. Under excitement, many people drank wine until they were dead drunk. As for Ye Chuan inside the Rubble Formation, he still sat cross-legged on the boulder without any movement, while absentmindedly looking at the ground that had changed beyond recognition. Millions of years ago, he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage who dominated this entire mainland, and the founder of Cloud Mist Sect Ghost Hand Medicinal King was merely one of his followers. Now after millions of years, he had freed himself from God Burial Valley, but once familiar mainland had already changed beyond recognition. It had changed greatly over time. Now Ghost Hand Medicinal King and his other followers were gone, and he himself was also merely a Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°Fate toying with people, is this the life of people?¡± Ye Chuan muttered, and his gaze fell on the stone parting under his foot. There, he saw a little green new bud. Eagle Beak Mountain was barren without even a blade of grass, and no yao beast could survive here. But there inevitably were some life, growing in the unnoticed corner, or grow in the hardest stone. Death is the beginning of another life, is another new reincarnation! Ye Chuan sat motionless, and a profound feeling floated up in his mind. Then the energy fluctuation within his body suddenly rose very naturally, and became more and more intense just like sea tides. When the energy fluctuation reached the apex, Ye Chuan took out that final Qingyang pill from his bosom and swallowed it, then that energy fluctuation which was about to fall after a rise suddenly flare up, and continued to rise steadily. Kacha, kacha, sounds came from the body of Ye Chuan. His blood seethed with excitement and the dragon-shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman rotated rapidly, then emitted a majestic Yang qi. Finally, with a thud sound, his body shook and his spirit soared up. In the dim light of the night, darkness enveloped the mainland. The wind was very cold, and blowing on the face caused people to feel indistinct pain. The spirit of Ye Chuan came out, just like when he used Yin Spirit Nightwalking, but his spirit however didn¡¯t feel any discomfort and unsettled like before, instead, he felt just like a fish entering the water. And in the qi vortex within his body, a faint sign of second Heaven Swallowing Talisman being condensed appeared. Rank 1 Xiushi! In the Eagle Beak Cliff where cold wind was whistling, Ye Chuan suddenly had a feeling in his heart, so he released the suppression, moreover, swallowed a Qingyang pill which helped his energy fluctuation to rise as much as it liked, breaking through to Xiushi realm in a spurt of energy. After millions of years, he stepped into the true threshold of cultivator once again. Now he can finally cultivate and use many techniques once again. Roar! The people inside the campsite didn¡¯t hear any sound, but their eardrum suddenly tingled. The spirit of Ye Chuan that soared in the sky suddenly roared, and the atmosphere around suddenly twisted with circular ripple spreading outward. And the fallen leaves in the mountain suddenly floated in the midair due to the invisible power. Great Divine Yin! Spirit Nightwalking, commonly known as Divine Yin, breaking through to Xiushi realm could use various kinds of techniques, and no longer need to fear the dim light of night and cold wind, becoming a Great Divine Yin! In millions of years, Wilderness World had great changed few times due to the upheavals, so many techniques had already been lost. For ordinary Xiushi, Spirit Nightwalking was closely guarded secret, and even if they were able to send out their spirit, they didn¡¯t have any techniques, except Spirit Nightwalking. But Ye Chuan was different, after breaking through to Xiushi realm, without personally raising his hand, just his spirit could use a variety of techniques. Halfway up the mountain, in a pitch-black cave, the complexion of Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun suddenly changed greatly, and the blood and qi within his body seethed as if he was facing a formidable foe. He couldn¡¯t see where the enemy was, and even didn¡¯t know what was happening, but the space between his eyebrows was twitching violently and his heart was restless. And in the next moment, he rushed out of that cave, and hastily ran far away from Eagle Beak Cliff. Just after he ran, a golden light flashed within that cave where he was hiding just a moment ago. In the campsite, Second Elder Nangogn Ren who was sitting cross-legged inside his tent to cultivate quietly suddenly opened his eyes, and sensing the spirit of Ye Chuan rolling about in the sky, his countenance suddenly changed. From under the mountain gully where cold wind was whistling, three meters tall figure suddenly rushed out. Horned demon Na Gusi had also woken up with a start from quiet cultivation. ¡°Rank 1 Xiushi, just broke through to Xiushi realm and he has this kind of might, can it be that Ye Chuan, he really is the reincarnation of honorable ancient Great Demon God?¡± Na Gusi muttered, and unknowingly, a little bit of deep misgiving and fear towards Ye Chuan appeared in his mind. With a flash of golden light, Golden Cicada King entered the Rubble Formation, returning beside Ye Chuan. ¡°Old man, he runs pretty fast!¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said and opened his eyes. Then with a thought, his spirit descended from the heaven and fused together with his body. After that, Cyan Lotus Lamp flew out from his body, floating above his head, then white furred pig and that little cockroach came out. After breaking through to Xiushi realm, the strength of Ye Chuan had greatly progressed, and Cyan Lotus Lamp also had changed. Compared to before, this lamp he had obtained inside God Burial Valley had even more runes, and now the lamplight was no longer only warm, rather was somewhat burning hot, causing people¡¯s blood and qi to seethe with surging fighting intent. The three little fellows also had changed, now they could react much quicker, as if they had unlocked the wisdom. Golden Cicada King had the greatest change, the two little bumps on its back had thoroughly opened up, transforming into a Six Winged Golden Cicada. Now its speed was faster compared to many flying swords. As for White Furred Pig, it was still spiritless with a silly expression, appearing to be merely a cute little pet, but looking carefully, one could see that it didn¡¯t resemble common wild boar. And as for that little cockroach that could be seen everywhere, after staying inside Cyan Lotus Lamp for several days, it seemed to be different from common cockroach to some extent. And compared to before, now it could fly much faster spreading out its wings. It was only a cockroach, nothing else, so it was not worth the meticulous cultivating. As a result at first, Ye Chuan was intending to throw away this little cockroach, but hesitating for a moment, he still let it be, intending to see the changes of this little fellow, thereby comprehending more mystery of Cyan Lotus Lamp. ¡°Go, find this person before dawn!¡± Ye Chuan faintly instructed, then closed his eyes again. After that three little fellows went down the hill separately, looking for the whereabouts of Jin Zhikun. Breaking through to Xiushi realm, his divine sense range had increased vastly. And with the help of these three little fellows, his divine sense could stretch to nearly 100 li, within which he could clearly see even the rustle of leaves in the wind. Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun had run away, but Yi Suo was still tied and locked up inside the camp. If he was interrogated in public after returning to Cloud Mist Sect, then he was definitely finished, and Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun including hidden Third Elder were also finished. So would these two old fellows sit still waiting for death? Absolutely not! If Ye Chuan was in their position, then he certainly wouldn¡¯t sit still waiting for death. Now there were two ways to resolve this, i.e. either rescue Yi Suo or kill him! Ye Chuan sat cross-legged without any movement, but in his heart, he was planning carefully. Predicting like a prophet, he was repeatedly calculating and arranging which was impossible for ordinary people. Compared to before when he was able to conceal heaven with his hand, the current Xiushi realm cultivation of Ye Chuan could be considered nothing, but just stepped into the true threshold of cultivation. But the calculations and arrangements were something that was not depended on cultivation and he was very skilled in it. All the people who obstruct him from reaching the peak again, he would crush them either by fighting them head-on or using conspiracy! Chapter 99: Bait Chapter 99: Bait A few hours later, it became the darkest time of the night. Golden Cicada King, Piggy and little cockroach returned back. Even after searching the entire Eagle Beak Cliff, they still couldn¡¯t find the whereabouts of Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun. Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t give up, circulating the Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, he send out his divine sense to its limit, and also send out these three little fellows again. Meanwhile, under his instruction, disciples left group by group on the same night, and Second Elder Nangong Ren was the first one to leave. After dawn, only 20 or so disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were left in Eagle Beak Cliff. And according to the instruction of Ye Chuan, fatty Zhao Dazhi found two carriages. In one of those carriages, Ye Chuan entered, and another carriage was used as prisoners¡¯ carriage to escort disheveled haired Yi Suo. The carriages rolled, and the entire group of people set out on a return journey. Perhaps he had suffered severe injury due to the use of torture to extort a confession, or perhaps he had thoroughly given up all hope, all along the road, Yi Suo never lifted his head. There was not even a trace of arrogance and haughtiness of former days. From Eagle Beak Cliff to Cloud Mist Sect, the mountain path was rugged, and they had to cross over mountains after mountains. Using the flying sword to return would have been much faster, but walking however was very slow, so they were hurrying. Ye Chuan however was not in hurry, but he still intentionally instructed people to speed up to return to Cloud Mist Sect at the earliest time. Yi Suo of prisoners¡¯ carriage was a traitor and also was a bait to fish Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun, that big fish. To save people, en route was the best opportunity, so to make fish anxious, Ye Chuan had intentionally instructed to travel at a top speed. He didn¡¯t want to give any time to the big fish to calm down and scheme.Moreover, in order for this big fish to take the bait, Ye Chuan had deliberately made Second Elder Nangong Ren return first, making this fish even more tempted. Ye Chuan had already laid out a bait, so now he was quietly waiting for the big fish to take the bait. Even if he was fully aware that this was a trap, Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun must take the bait if he didn¡¯t want to reveal his identity and didn¡¯t want to lose his everything! Even after they were already more than 10 li away from Eagle Beak Cliff, all was well; And even after they had already traveled more than 100 li, and Cloud Mist Sect was already visible far away, there was still no trace of Jin Zhikun. This wily old fox seemed to have fled to Cloud Mist Sect after realizing the matters had irreversibly fallen through and exposed. Ye Chuan kept his calm and instructed everybody to continue forward and even to increase their speed. Sure enough, when Cloud Mist Sect was only 10 li or so away, a golden light suddenly appeared, hovering above the head of this group of people. Golden Cicada King who had gone to scout throughout the way suddenly returned back, bringing back a good news. After that, flapping its extremely thin six wings, it disappeared without a trace to scout once again. Nan Tiandu and others riding the horse were scouting and escorting throughout the way, but Golden Cicada King which come and go as if wind was Ye Chuan¡¯s real eyes and ears. The hurrying groups of people and carriages arrived in front of a gorge. On the both sides of the gorge, there were steep cliffs and the path was rugged. Moreover, only two horses could walk side by side through this rugged path. This was the dangerous and famous War Front Heaven Gorge in the vicinity of Cloud Mist Sect. Looking up at the sky from this place, one could only see a gleam of light, and the cliffs of both sides were overcast as if they were about to force them down. Since the ancient times, no one knew how many people had died without justice in some corner of this gorge. In this place, the spur on the flying horse suddenly slowed down. ¡°Everyone, be careful. We are about to arrive our sect.¡± Nan Tiandu pulled the rein of his horse to stop, and his complexion became tense. He didn¡¯t have Golden Cicada King like eyes and ears, but arriving at War Front Heaven, he instinctively felt unease. After that, carefully sizing up a rather dark gorge, he exerted strength on his legs to clamp the abdomen of his horse, then charged first into this gorge, and several disciples of Cloud Mist Sect followed closely behind him. It was very quiet inside the gorge, merely the rolling sound of carriages and galloping sounds of horses could be heard. Everything appeared to be very normal, so the anxiety of people gradually eased down. Nan Tiandu who was rushing in the front charged out first from this gorge, then looking back and seeing everything was going fine, he relaxed in his heart. Rumble, at that time, a loud rumbling sound resounded all of a sudden. People quickly raised their head and saw several boulders rolling down towards them. With a bang sound, the first boulder happened to land on the exit of the gorge, blocking Nan Tiandu and other disciples outside the gorge. The second boulder even heavily landed exactly on the carriage which Ye Chuan was riding, breaking it into pieces. And the third boulder separated Zhu Sijia and other people who were in the rear of the prisoners¡¯ carriage. After that, a masked figure jumped straight down as if a roc from the top of the cliff, landing beside the prisoners¡¯ carriage. Few disciples guarding the prisoners¡¯ carriage screamed and pulled out their sword, but before they could swing their sword, they were sent flying by a strong gust. And everyone spat out a mouthful of blood. In this narrow and steep gorge, suddenly yang qi seethed, giving out a heavy pressure. All the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were pushed down to the ground and it got difficult to move, being subjected to inborn suppression. In the face of the sudden attack of this uninvited guest, they unexpectedly couldn¡¯t resist even a bit. Expert! This was a Peak Rank 7 Xiushi, or even an expert of Daoist Master realm! The heart of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect shook greatly, and it became harder for them to breathe. After stealthily tailing behind throughout the journey for a long time, Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun finally struck! As Ye Chuan had expected, when he was en route, Jin Zhukun suddenly attacked. Even though he perfectly knew that this was a trap, he had no choice but to attack! Merely, throughout the journey until now, he quietly followed after them, and when they were about to arrive Cloud Mist Sect, he attacked. Sure enough, he was a wily old fox and also audacious to the extreme. He had only extremely short few breaths of time, as long as he missed the attack, the experts of Cloud Mist Sect would immediately rush over to this place. Swish! Ice-cold sword light suddenly illuminated the rather dark gorge. When the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were caught unprepared, Nan Tiandu jumped over the boulder and attacked back, stabbing straight towards the heart of Jin Zhikun. ¡°Scram!¡± Jin Zhikun suddenly turned around, and his eyes shone. And without taking out any weapon, he flicked at the sword of Nan Tiandu. Then, with a ding sound, Nan Tiandu was sent flying far away. And the sword he was holding emitted a smoke as if it was burned. When cultivators achieve success in Divine Yang Body, the yang qi within their body would be sufficiently pure and boundless, so their every act and every move could burn body and spirit of the opponent. It was incomparably fierce! Jin Zhikun was still Rank 7 Xiushi, had yet to breakthrough to Daoist Master Realm, but specializing in body cultivation, within Xiushi realm, there might not be any existence that could match him. So Nan Tiandu was far from being his opponent. With a single move, he was done in! ¡°What millennium genius, he is just this, nothing more!¡± Jin Zhikun coldly snorted, then rushing over to the front of prisoners¡¯ carriage, he palmed it, then thick iron railings together with the talisman shackles of Yi Suo were shattered into pieces. Then holding Yi Sup in his underarm, he walked off while laughing loudly. The scheme failed, so what, even if Ye Chuan clearly knew he had instigated it, what can he do? After saving Yi Suo, he wouldn¡¯t have any human testimony and material evidence, so Great Elder also could do nothing about it. After that, lying low for a period of time, he could come back again! Once failed, but next time there inevitably will be a chance to successfully kill Ye Chuan. With powerful cultivation, what is impossible? Being successful this time, Jin Zhikun was happy, so laughing heartily, in a blink of an eye, he left the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect far behind. And while laughing, he suddenly felt somewhat strange and the space between his eyes violently twitched, and the feeling of unprecedented danger appeared in his heart. What about Ye Chuan? Where is that brat? Could it be that he was really crushed to death by that boulder? From the very beginning to the end, Ye Chuan had never appeared, this made Jin Zhikun feel restless all of a sudden. Moreover, he succeeded in this raid very easily, so the more he thought, the more he felt something was wrong! Chapter 100: Little cockroach also has big capabilities Chapter 100: Little cockroach also has big capabilities Very quickly, Jin Zhikun who had left the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect far behind suddenly stopped his stepped and looked all around. Ye Chuan, that brat is nearby! Jin Zhikun became tense, as his intuition told him this! It was very quiet all around, and there was not even a soul in sight, moreover, he couldn¡¯t see any abnormalities either. But he just had a feeling that Ye Chuan was nearby, moreover, he was very close to him. As a Hall Master and Rank 7 Xiushi expert, Jin Zhikun had gone through unknown numbers of wind and waves in his life, so his sense was sharp. And this kind of intuition of danger had never been a mistake. ¡°Your Excellency Hall Master, are you looking for me?¡± A similar voice suddenly resounded in the middle of the night, sure enough, it was the voice of Ye Chuan. And since this voice was erratic and faint, he was unable to determine the source of this voice. Jin Zhikun turned around, but there was no one behind him. Then turning around again, there still was no one. He didn¡¯t find the figure of Ye Chuan anywhere, so his heart suddenly became tenser, as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tighter and tighter! ¡°Brat, come out, come out for me!¡± Jin Zhikun loudly roared, then rotating his body all of a sudden, he sent out palm attack in all directions. The wind of this palm attack was powerful, it blew up dust and fallen leaves as well as shook the towering trees within a large area, even to the extent that some of the trees were broken! And after a while, the blown up leaves and dust in the sky, settled down to the ground again, and quietness returned inside this woods. But the heart of Jin Zhikun however became even tenser. On the basis of reasons, since the cultivation level gap between them was too far, Ye Chuan should be far from being a threat to him, but a feeling of danger had never left his heart, and it was becoming denser and denser. ¡°Your Excellency Hall Master, I am here, you have been holding me like this for so long, aren¡¯t you tired?¡± The voice of Ye Chuan resounded once again. This time, it resounded directly beside the ear of Jin Zhikun. ¡°You are not Yi Suo, you¡­¡­¡± The heartbeat of Jin Zhikun accelerated, he finally knew where the voice was coming from. He lowered his head to look, and happens to see an evil smiling face. The disheveled haired person he was holding under his arm was not Yi Suo, rather was Ye Chuan! Jin Zhikun was greatly alarmed, and as if seeing a ghost, he threw out Ye Chuan, and quickly retreated back, unfortunately, it was already too late! In the middle of the night, blade light appeared suddenly. Eight extremely thin sharp blades swiftly and fiercely whistled through the sky all of a sudden, giving rise to ear-piercing sonic boom! Ye Chuan who was disguised as Yi Suo suddenly initiated a ferocious attack. Yi Suo was a bait to lure out Jin Zhikun, this big fish. But the real Yi Suo had already been taken back to Cloud Mist Sect by Second Elder Nangong Ren, and Yi Suo inside the prisoners¡¯ carriage was none other than Ye Chuan disguising as Yi Suo! Chessboard inside chessboard! Trap inside trap! Ye Cuan hadn¡¯t laid out a trap rather a series of traps, traps for a killing move. Whether Jin Zhikun had taken the bait or not taken the bait, he was destined to meet his doom. ¡°What to kill me? You are still too tender!¡± Jin Zhikun suddenly shouted angrily, and his energy suddenly rose greatly, the muscles of his entire body bulged, and became hard as if rock. The blood and qi within his body also seethed, and majestic yang qi as if sea waves rose to the sky. Then with a kacha sound, blood light wander about in his skin, and indistinct blood colored armor condensed on his body. Moreover, incomparable energy fluctuation erupted out from within his body. And the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect inside War Front Heaven gorge who were about to chase were pushed down to the ground again. Daoist Master Realm! Conversely, suffering to a surprise attack, Jin Zhikun went all out to resist, and under this full power resistance, he unexpectedly surpassed his normal limit, and a sign of breaking through to Daoist Master realm appeared! The sharp eight blades slashed, but unexpectedly metal colliding sound resounded as if they were not slashing a human body, rather slashing a real heavy armor! ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Jin Zhikun laughed heartily, then ferociously send out his palm attack to kill Ye Chuan who had just failed his surprise attack. He was able to easily settle the sneak attack of Ye Chuan just like this, moreover, he had unexpectedly broken through to Daoist Master realm, so what else was more exciting than this? Jin Zhikun who originally had a tense and solemn face now couldn¡¯t help but laugh heartily in excitement! Another blade light streak across the sky. This blade light was much faster, and directly entered into the wide opened mouth of Jin Zhikun. Ye Chuan had opened his mouth and spat out the final blade. This blade caught Jin Zhikun off guard. His laughter stopped and his mouth was filled with blood. Moreover, the energy fluctuation which originally was steadily rising within his body was also interrupted. And his cultivation which was about to break through to Daoist Master realm fell sort of success for lack of a final effort! Jin Zhikun specialized in Divine Yang Body, so his body was extremely strong. If he had spat this blade towards his chest, then it would have not even left a scar. But when all was said and done, the legendary Divine Yang still didn¡¯t train or strengthen the tongue. And under carelessness, nearly his entire tongue was cut off by this final blade of Ye Chuan. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, brat, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Jin Zhikun flew into the rage, then spitting out a mouthful of blood, he ferociously pounced towards Ye Chuan. After this injury in his tongue, the words he spoke were unclear. Ye Chuan¡¯s body swayed in succession, and after some probing attacks, they suddenly parted. Jin Zhikun was still ferocious as if tiger and wolf, but Ye Chuan was pale. In a head-on confrontation of Rank 1 Xiushi and Rank 7 Xiushi, Rank 1 Xiushi was indeed not a match. ¡°Brat, you are dead, today, no one can save you!¡± Jin Zhikun ferociously said with dense killing intent. Although he occupied upper hand and was sure to win, but talking with a mouthful of blood, his words were unclear. ¡°Your Excellency Hall Master, what is this?¡± Ye Chuan indifferently smiled, and facing extremely vicious Jin Zhikun, he was still calm, ¡°If I were you, then now, I would have already ran and hide far away, otherwise, it will be too late, and even if you want to run, you won¡¯t be able to do so.¡± A golden light flashed in the sky, and Golden Cicada King appeared in front of Ye Chuan. ¡°Six Winged Golden Cicada?¡± Jin Zhikun became a little solemn, and his steps paused for a bit, but he continued to advance towards Ye Chuan and said ferociously, ¡°Six Winged Golden Cicada is very tricky to deal with, but you are dreaming if you want to use such a little yao beast to stop me, my single attack will crush it to death, hahaha¡­¡­¡± The anger of Jin Zhikun had already reached so extreme that he laughed. Now he wanted to kill Ye Chuan in one attack. In the middle of the night, a light flashed, and another small yao beast appeared in front of Ye Chuan. This time it was snow-white Piggy. ¡°Brat, what else is there? Summon all of them, let me see what you have in the end, I want to see how you will block my killing blow!¡± Jin Zhikun approached nearer and nearer, while secretly preparing a fatal killing attack. This Piggy had two bulges on its back, and it resembles neither a kind of wild boar nor a kind of raptor, clearly was a wilderness mutated beast. But wanting to obstruct his steps relying on such small yao beasts, that was just a wishful thinking. ¡°Well, as you wish.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, and in the middle of the night, a rustling sound came. Jin Zhikun turned his head and discovered this time it was unexpectedly a cockroach in front of Ye Chuan. ¡°Hahaha, what is this? A cockroach?¡± Jin Zhikun found this somewhat difficult to believe, then laughed heartily, ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, brat, Cloud Mist Mountain Range has so many powerful yao beasts, but you summoned¡­¡­¡± From the thick clump of grass, a cockroach crawled out slowly, making Jin Zhikun feel incomparably comical and ridiculous. Then, when he was laughing, that cockroach who seemed to have difficulty even walking suddenly spread its wings, then flew, whistling towards him just like an arrow shot from a crossbow. Is this a flying cockroach? The smile of Jin Zhikun suddenly stiffened, it was not like he had never seen a flying cockroach, rather he had never seen a cockroach that could fly this fast. Moreover, what¡¯s on the back of the cockroach? Sharp-eyed Jin Zhikun suddenly discovered this cockroach seemed to be carrying something on its back, so just when he was about to quickly dodge, the cockroach that had arrived in front of him suddenly exploded, spreading a powder in a large area. When this powder landed on the skin, it would feel itching and pain, and when landed on the eyes, it would feeling extreme stabbing pain in eyes, blinding them temporarily. Chapter 101: Great Yan Refining Magic Technique Chapter 101: Great Yan Refining Magic Technique Little cockroach in itself didn¡¯t possess any threat. After staying inside Cyan Lotus Lamp for several days, it could only fly faster than a common cockroach, that¡¯s all, and it couldn¡¯t even be considered a low-level yao beast. But, if a burst talisman was tied up on the body of the small cockroach, moreover add a pack of poison powder, then that was a different matter. It would change into a poisonous cockroach from a common cockroach. Under his carelessness, Jin Zhikun savored the power of poisonous cockroach, and his eyes suddenly lost their sight for the time being. And at the same time, the originally spiritless and silly Piggy that appeared to be no threat at all suddenly stood up, then roaring like a tiger, its aura completely changed. Then, as if a fierce tiger, it pounced towards Jin Zhikun. ¡°What is this?¡± Jin Zhikun was startled, and before he could circulate yang qi within his body, Piggy rushed over and colliding ferociously, Jin Zhikun with his chest sunken was sent flying. His invulnerable boy which the blade of Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t able to injure however was unable to resist the collision of Piggy. Damn it! Where did Ye Chuan, this brat find these strange yao beasts? Jin Zhikun was again surprised and angry, and a thought to retreat appeared in his heart. He forcibly opened his eyes, and was able to see things faintly. But just when he wanted to stand up, he suddenly heard a very indistinct buzzing sound. It¡¯s that Six Winged Golden Cicada! Jin Zhikun was startled, suddenly recalling another yao beast of Ye Chuan. And compared to silly looking Piggy, Golden Cicada was famed for its fighting powers, and especially Six Winged Golden Cicada, its combat ability was absolutely not inferior to any Xiushi realm expert! A dazzling golden light streak across the night sky. Jin Zhikun increased his vigilance, and he reacted very quickly. But, his reaction was still late, as the speed of Golden Cicada King was faster. He suddenly felt pain in his eyes, as the wings of Six Winged Golden Cicada had scratched his eyes, thoroughly turning him into a blind person. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, brat, I will never let you off!¡± Jin Zhikun wailed loudly, then immediately standing up, he wanted to flee from this place. Never judge a person by his appearance, yao beasts were also the same. The three little fellows in front of Ye Chuan appeared to be no threat, but each had their unique traits, and in the blink of an eye, they had inflicted a heavy injury. Now Jin Zhikun didn¡¯t want to stay in this place any longer! Although Jin Zhikun hated in his heart, but he was decisive, seeing he was in a bad position, he immediately tried to flee. But, just after rushing 10 or so meters, he happened to collide head-on with a sharp spear. It appeared as if he was a depressed person who wanted to bring about his own destruction. Now just like a frog, he was stabbed through by a spear. Jin Zhikun was very experienced, but compared to once Heaven Concealing Great Saint Ye Chuan, this small amount of experience couldn¡¯t even hold a candle. Ye Chuan had already prepared in advance. He had quietly stood on the only way from where Jin Zhikun could flee. Moreover, with a sharp spear in his hand, he was silently waiting. The body of Jin Zhikun was very doughty, claimed to be invulnerable, as Divine Yang Body was not weak. Unfortunately, the spear in the hand of Ye Chuan was also not a common spear, rather a killing weapon Blood Lance of Five Style Sect¡¯s Elder Tu with which he was intensely proud of. Colliding head-on in a high speed, this scene was incomparably miserable! ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Jin Zhikun wailed once again, his blood and vitality also decreased rapidly. The heavy blow of Piggy and the attack of Golden Cicada King had injured him severely, but the fatal one was still Ye Chuan¡¯s this move. Taking advantage of his blindness, Ye Chuan had quietly stood in front blocking the path, moreover, held a sharp spear in front of him, causing Jin Zhikun to collide head-on with the sharp spear. Despicable, this brat is so sinister, can he be any more despicable? Jin Zhikun hated Ye Chuan to his bones, but at this time, he ignored the hatred in his heart and fled for his life. Unfortunately, being seriously injured and with spear still stabbed through his body, he was unstable to even walk, so how could he shake off Ye Chuan in such a dense forest? Stumbling away for a little while, Jin Zhikun gave up on his own. Blind eyes, all ribs broken and chest pierced through by a spear, with these serious injuries, he was unable to carry on running. Moreover, the faster he ran, the faster he lost his blood and vitality, approaching death faster! ¡°Eh, Your Excellency Hall Master, why aren¡¯t you fleeing?¡± Ye Chuan who was leisurely following behind Jin Zhikun, seeing the latter turning around and standing still with no power to escape, he smiled coldly, ¡°You knew this was useless but why did you even try? Your Excellency Hall Master, I will give you two paths, either obediently return to the sect with me and expose Third Elder, or, die. I will give you ten seconds to choose, 10¡­¡­, 9¡­¡­, 8¡­¡­¡± The cold voice of Ye Chuan resounded, and Jin Zhikun felt as he was already in the death jaw. The complexion of Jin Zhikun got increasingly pale and his body trembled. Grand Alchemy Hall Master, an expert cultivating Divine Yang Body who was about to step into Daoist Master realm, would he die just like this? Jin Zhikun was vomiting blood in his heart, and was unwilling. He didn¡¯t understand how a stupid and mediocre Ye Chuan got so powerful. This kind of scheming and means, not to mention the disciples of the younger generation, even among those old monsters who had cultivated for thousands of years, who could compare with him? Expose Third Elder, that was impossible. In these last few years, both of them together had done many shameful matters, so exposing Third Elder was confessing his own evildoings, so his final aftermath would still be death. Thinking this, he gritted his teeth, then suddenly pulling out the spear stabbed through his body, he shouted and rushed towards the position of Ye Chuan he had determined by hearing, then taking the advantage of his final breath, he attacked wanting to perish together with Ye Chuan! ¡°Courting death!¡± Ye Chuan with ice-cold complexion dodged the desperate attack of Jin Zhikun, then he pressed the forehead of Jin Zhikun with his five fingers. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± The face of Jin Zhikun twisted, and he frantically struggled, yet the hand of Ye Chuan was firmly pressing his forehead. Very quickly, the strong body of Jin Zhikun withered just like the withered old tree. The blood and qi as well his lifetime cultivation disappeared, leaving behind only the skin and bones, as if a thousand years old mummy. Great Yan Refining Magic Technique! Ye Chuan had used a secret technique to swallow blood and qi as well as the lifetime cultivation of Jin Zhikun. After breaking through to Xiushi realm, he could finally use many techniques he had mastered when he could conceal the heaven with his hand. These techniques had already been lost for millions of years in this Wilderness World, but now they returned once again. Gugugu, the blood and qi within the body of Ye Chuan seethed with excitement, and his energy fluctuation also rose steadily, moreover, boundless majestic yang qi churned and condensed, changing into a different shape. Soon, it condensed into a new talisman, which had a human skull like appearance. This was the essence of Great Yan Refining Magic Technique. Now there was second Heaven Swallowing Talisman within the body of Ye Chuan. Condensing a Heaven Swallowing Talisman needed a lot of energy. To condense the first dragon-shaped talisman, it consumed the entire energy of the Dragon Vein¡¯s Crystal. So Ye Chuan was uncertain when he would be able to condense the second Heaven Swallowing Talisman, but to his surprise, he accidentally obtained an uncostly technique to condense them. By consuming the hundred year¡¯s cultivation of Jin Zhikun, he had successfully condensed a second Heaven Swallowing Talisman! One Heaven Swallowing Talisman added 18,000 jin strength, didn¡¯t this mean the two Heaven Swallowing Talismans added 36,000 jin? The eyes of Ye Chuan shone, and with a thought, he could easily sense the rapid flow of the blood within his body, and also the explosive energy within his body. Although his current cultivation of Xiushi realm was nothing, but this profound Heaven Swallowing Talisman made him look forward to the future. Condensing two Heaven Swallowing Talismans, he was full of explosive power, if condensed third or fourth Heaven Swallowing Talisman, then what would it feel like? And at that time, who would be his opponent in the same realm? Ye Chuan in high spirit suddenly looked towards the sky and uttered a loud roar, releasing his powerful energy fluctuation. Chapter 102: Wily old fox Chapter 102: Wily old fox ¡°Big Senior apprentice-brother, where are you?¡± ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Shouting sounds came from the darkness. Fatty Zhao Dazhi, Zhu Sijia, Nan Tiandu and other people came over holding the touches. All of them were tense, as not hearing any response from Ye Chuan even after a long while, they believed that something might have happened. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± Ye Chuan waved his hand and called out after putting away Golden King Cicada King and Piggy and also blowing the corpse of Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun into the mountain gully not far away. Fatty and other quickly walked over and seeing Ye Chuan was fine, they finally relaxed. Although Jin Zhikun had put on a mask, but very quickly, the disciples recognized his identity. The cultivation of Jin Zhikun was far higher and he was also incomparably fiercer than what people had thought. Nan Tiandu, this kind of millennium genius wasn¡¯t even able to touch him in a face to face combat, so how could Ye Chuan who had just broken through to Xiushi realm cope with him? People were confused in their heart, and after looking all around, Zhi Sijia asked in surprise: ¡°Eh, what about that devil surnamed Jin?¡± ¡°If I say, I swatted him to death, and threw him down the mountain gully, then will you believe me?¡± Ye Chuan answered with a smile yet not a smile. ¡°Believe, I will believe you are insane! Why are you being glib-tongue all the time?¡± Zhu Sijia glared at Ye Chuan. She was really anxious, and was worried about Ye Chuan, but to her surprise, the latter was still unconscionable. And after not seeing any trace of Jin Zhikun even after looking carefully, she muttered to herself: ¡°Strange, why did that old fellow leave just like this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not strange, Master and others have come.¡± Nan Tiandu suddenly said calmly. Sure enough, the whistling sounds came from the darkness, and a large group of people stepping on a flying sword appeared. And the people in the front of this group was Second Elder Nangong Ren and unexpectedly also Great Elder Zhu Guohong. When they were suffering ambush in Front Line Heaven gorge, someone had quickly gone to notify the sect. Cloud Mist Sect was only 10 li away from here, but Great Elder and others had arrived faster than expected! ¡°Grandpa!¡± Zhu Sijia rushed over and holding the arm of Great Elder Zhu Guohong, she greeted him. Seeing numerous experts of the sect had personally come, fatty and others relaxed completely. Even if Jin Zhikun was ferocious, in front of Great Elder, he would never dare to attack! ¡°Jiajia, are you all right? Jin Zhikun, where is that fellow?¡±Great Elder Zhu Guohong asked with gloomy complexion. ¡°I¡¯m fine. As for Jin Zhikun, he has already run away.¡± Zhu Sijia being a straight person, bluntly said hatefully, ¡°Humph, that fellow really knew that he was guilty of heinous crimes, and he could no longer continue to stay in the sect if Yi Suo reached the sect, so he recklessly attacked trying to snatch Yi Suo. But failing this, he viciously wanted to kill Big Senior Apprentice-Brother. Fortunately, grandpa and you all arrive here, and that scare him away!¡± Zhu Sijia explained perfectly, and since Jin Zhikun was a fugitive, Great Elder also didn¡¯t doubt her. No one thought that Jin Zhikun who had such strong cultivation base had already died, died in the hand of Ye Chuan, this merely Rank 1 Xiushi disciple. ¡°Great Elder, what are you doing here?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly asked. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, everyone was relaxed and overjoyed, only his complexion changed. He could understand the arrival of Second Elder Nangong Ren, but seeing the arrival of Great Elder Zhu Guohong who rarely leave the sect and always guard the sect throughout the year, he knew that something was wrong! ¡°A Protector came to report me, he said Jin Zhikun betrayed the sect and started to slaughter our disciples, moreover Zhu Sijia was gravely injured. Humph, he dared to put his hand on even Jiajia, that fellow¡­¡­¡± Great Elder Zhu Guohong answered, and before he finished speaking, his complexion also changed. Zhu Sijia was standing in front of him, and she was completely fine, where is the severe injury? ¡°Return to the set, quick!¡± Great Zhu Guohong and Ye Chuan shouted in unison, then they rushed towards Cloud Mist Sect. Great Elder coldly snorted, then with the flying sword under his leg suddenly shining, he instantly disappeared from there, rushing towards the sect. Zhu Sijia was not injured. No one dared to disturb him, the Great Elder, for ordinary matters, obviously, someone had lured him away from the sect. The Protector who had reported him was either deceived or bribed for this, so as to raid the prison taking this chance, and the target was obviously the witness, Yi Suo! ¡°Quick, to the Heaven Prison!¡± ¡°Seal off the gate, forbid anyone from entering and exiting!¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren also realized this and he solemnly gave the order. His sound reverberated the sky as if the thunder. After that, similarly stepping on the flying sword, he also rushed straight towards the sect. Just like Great Elder, he was also informed by someone. He was said that Ye Chuan was ambushed, so he hurried over here, but at that time, he simply hadn¡¯t expected that he was simply falling into the trap of luring tiger out of the mountain! Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have a flying sword, so he was running on his legs. As a result, he was far slower than Great Elder and Second Leader who were using flying sword. In the blink of an eye, he was left far behind by them, but compared to the disciples of the sect, he was far faster. Just like a cheetah, he was dashing off in the wilderness, and Zhu Sijia and other could only see his afterimages. Ye Chuan¡¯s speed was fast, but when he reached the sect, he was already too late. The entire sect was in turmoil, there were fire and smoke everywhere, moreover, the disciples were in a great mess. Heavily guarded Heaven Prison had changed into a sea of flames, and no one could escape from inside there. After the fire was put out, the corpses that were pulled out from inside had already changed beyond recognition. Great Elder and Second Elder who had returned a step faster had gloomy complexion, as they were similarly a step too late. ¡°Yi Suo, Yi Suo, my excellent disciple ah, how could you leave¡­¡­¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu threw himself on a corpse and wailed loudly. With tears streaming down his cheeks, now he had a grief-stricken appearance. Ye Chuan walked over to see, this corpse was tall and thin, and was really Yi Suo. Even if this fellow changed into ashes, Ye Chuan could recognize him. In eagle Beak Cliff, Ye Chuan had spared his life instead of immediately executing him, but unexpectedly, after returning to the sect, he died a violent death. If this fellow in neither world knew this, then even dead, he will not close the eyes. He would have never thought that one day, he would die in the hand of his own master. Jin Zhikun died, so who set this fire? Other than Third Elder, who else can it be? The answer was obvious, Ye Chuan coldly started at wailing Third Elder and become aware that he was underestimating this old man. Seeing the matter was about to fall through and exposed, he killed even his only personal disciple. He wasn¡¯t softhearted, rather sufficiently ruthless person! Jin Zhikun was nothing, but this Third Elder Bai Yanhu was truly a wily old fox! ¡°Guards, arrest Li Xuehan!¡± The complexion of Great Elder Zhu Guohong was gloomy and he gave the order to arrest his guard who had reported him to lure him away from this place. A disciple stepped forward, and with somewhat odd complexion, he cautiously said: ¡°Reporting to Great Elder, Li Xuehan died. He perished together along with the spy of Black Cauldron Sect who had set fire to Heaven Prison.¡± ¡°Heh heh, Black Cauldron Sect?¡± Great Elder Zhu Guohong laughed, then after taking a quick glance at Third Elder, he left. He wasn¡¯t a fool, he just turned a blind eye for some matters, but this didn¡¯t mean he knew nothing. But this time, Third Elder was truly too excessive, burning Heaven Prison, then shifting the blame to Black Cauldron Sect could deceive common disciples, but he clearly understood everything in his heart. Merely, Sect Master Yun Feiwu was out, and if he wanted to make a move against an Elder, then he needed to take time making a decision. So even though he was angry in his heart, he could only suppress it! ¡°Humph, Ye Chuan, let¡¯s go!¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren snorted and left together with Ye Chuan. Behind, grief-stricken Third Elder raised his head, then coldly smiling, his expression became sinister and ruthless. Chapter 103: White Tiger Mountain Chapter 103: White Tiger Mountain After a little while, Nan Tiandu, Zhu Sijia and others also returned and gathered in Ye Chuan¡¯s Purple Peak Mountain, feeling indignant. ¡°This fire occurred so coincidentally, how could it be the doing of the people of Black Cauldron Sect?¡± ¡°Yes, moreover, how come all the assassins of Black Cauldron Sect died so coincidentally? Big senior apprentice-brother, investigate, must investigate strictly, we should submit a written statement to Great Elder requesting for a strict investigation to the end!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Fatty and others shouted in unison. This fire was really too fishy and too coincidence. Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun had disappeared without a trace, and Yi Suo had burned to death in the fire, so all the clues were suddenly cut off. ¡°Jiajia, what do you think?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, you decide.¡± Zhu Sijia answered. She was secretly angry with Ye Chuan, angry that he was unconscionable, angry that he and Liu Hong walked together, but in this kind of situation, she still understood the matter and let Ye Chuan decide. ¡°Tiandu, what about you?¡± Ye Chuan asked cool-headed and calm Nan Tiandu. ¡°I will obey all the arrangement of Big senior apprentice-brother.¡± Nan Tiandu answered, cherishing words as if gold. His words were not flattery, and he had never flattered anyone, he was proud, aloof and indifferent, and throughout his life, he only admired Ye Chuan. After Great Competition, he admired this Big senior apprentice-brother Ye Chuan even more. In terms of cultivation, he was not necessarily the opponent of Ye Chuan, but in terms of scheming, he absolutely was inferior to Ye Chuan. ¡°Yes, Big senior apprentice-brother, you decide, we¡¯ll follow you. Investigate, investigate strictly, and investigate till the end!¡± Fatty Zaho Dazhi said feeling indignant. Ye Chuan smiled, then looking at fatty, he said: ¡°Fatty, why are you so impatient, I never asked you.¡± ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± The face of fatty suddenly became red just like an apple, and seeing his embarrassed appearance, people laughed up their sleeves. ¡°Okay, Everyone, quiet down.¡± Ye Chuan slowly scanned the crowd then said indifferently: ¡°Starting tomorrow, do whatever you normally do, forget about the fire. The sky is getting brighter, all of you disperse.¡± ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia and fatty anxiously tried to talk in unison. ¡°Didn¡¯t you all say you will listen to me, what, you all want to disobey me so quickly?¡± Ye Chuan with a smile yet not a smile looked towards Zhu Sijia, then the latter¡¯s face reddened, recalling the usual words of Ye Chuan ¡®if you are not obedient, then I will spank your buttocks¡¯. And after looking at Zhu Sijia, Ye Chuan continued: ¡°That¡¯s right, Yi Suo died, and all the clues are cut off, but we truly don¡¯t need to be impatient, rather the person behind the scene who instigate this should. Along with each passing day towards the revival of the sect, that person wouldn¡¯t have much time. Moreover, Great Elder who is guarding the sect for many years, is he a vegetarian? Rest assured, now what we need to do is, make great efforts to cultivate and raise our strength. Go, all of you, disperse.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother, farewell!¡± After thinking for a bit, the people thought that Ye Chuan indeed was correct, so everyone left one after another. Now in the big Purple Cloud Courtyard, only Ye Chuan and Flame Devil were left. After thinking over, Ye Chuan had decided to not bring back horned demon Na Gusi to Cloud Mist Sect, rather let him go into the mountain behind. Unlike Flame Devil, horned demon Na Gusi was an out-and-out Great Devil, and before he reached the acme of perfection in the cultivation of Nine Transformation Demonic Technique, it was better for him to not show himself. ¡°What a wily old fox that fellow is, this game is getting more and more interesting!¡± Ye Chuan climbed over to the summit of Purple Cloud Peak, and under the starry sky, he gazed afar inside the quiet sect, then sitting cross-legged on the spot, he took out Cyan Lotus Lamp. After that, his spirit came out, and circling a lap around the Purple Cloud Peak, it flew away. Thick Fog Mountain, Second Elder Nangong Ren as if he wasn¡¯t affected by the indignant he felt just a moment ago was meticulously taking care of a Dragon Back Bamboo Bark; Cyan Elegant Peak, inside Cyan Elegant Courtyard, Zhu Sijia who had just returned wasn¡¯t sleepy. She threw off her outer clothing, and only in her extremely thin underwear, she walked back and forth in anger inside her room. Her figure was too sexy, and even Ye Chuan was a little embarrassed to see her when she was wearing so little like this. Embarrassed was embarrassed, but the spirit of Ye Chuan still stayed inside Cyan Elegant courtyard for a good while. Then, he turned away from Cyan Elegant Peak towards the well-known White Tiger Mountain. White Tiger Mountain, it was shaped just like a crouching fierce tiger inside the sect. this mountain was majestic, and it was strictly guarded. This was Third Elder Bai Yanhu¡¯s residence. Ye Chuan cautiously let his spirit flew to this mountain. And avoiding the Detection Formation and patrolling guards of this White Tiger Mountain, his spirit quietly sneaked into the mountain. In this Great Competition, Ye Chuan¡¯s fame had greatly spread, and Cloud Mist Sect which had been suppressed for many years also felt proud and elated. Now after sweeping away the bad luck and misfortune of the past many years, all the disciples of the sect vowed to cultivate strenuously so as to plant the seed of rejuvenation. But with the death of Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun and his personal disciple Yi Suo, Third Elder had lost both left and right hands. Moreover, although ruthlessly killing Yi Suo had cut off the clues, but this also aroused the suspicion of Great Elder. Now, for Third Elder, the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable. Now he had to be cautious to make any move inside the sect, and he also had a very little time to make a move. Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t impatient, and was calmly waiting for Third Elder Bai Yanhu to expose himself. But, the appropriate spying was needed, as only after knowing the enemy and knowing yourself, one would be victorious. It was almost dawn, but White Tiger Mountain was still brightly lit with lamps. Outside, a group of fierce looking guards was standing. All of them were the cream of the crop, but everyone had terrified expression, and every one of them had their mouth tightly shut without even daring to breathe heavily. Inside, solemn White Tiger Hall was very quiet. Burning torched were hung on the wall but the air nevertheless was ice-cold. Third Elder Bai Yanhu was sitting straight on the high place of this hall. His thin body was motionless and his complexion was malicious and pale. His entire body appeared ice-cold without any blood and qi as if he was a corpse that had just climbed out of from the grave. The spirit of Ye Chuan floated inside the White Tiger Hall and stayed still under the eaves, doing his utmost to weaken the spirit fluctuation. Unlike Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun who cultivated Divine Yang Body, Third Elder Bai Yanhu was another type of cultivator, he cultivated spirit. Moreover, it seemed he cultivated especially sinister, vicious and evil technique. Furthermore, he had two appearances.In front of people, he was always smiling appearing to be a harmless person, but immediately after returning to the White Tiger Hall, he revealed his original color. Even his body emitted a gloomy and cold aura that could make people shudder. The experience of Ye Chuan was abundant, so with a single glance, he knew that Third Elder Bai Yanhu was dangerous. The cultivators cultivating Divine Yang Body were very fierce, their body would be impervious to sword or spear, and their blood and qi within their entire body would be seethed with yang qi, making them immune to all kinds of yin qi. But the experts cultivating spirits, their body wouldn¡¯t be that abnormal, but they were often more dangerous as they had many unknown means. If a spirit accidentally landed on the hand of this kind of people, then even if they possess the will to live or begged to die, they would be helpless. Third Elder Bai Yanhu continuously sat motionless for a good while, then from his bosom, he took out a crystal ball. Then using his technique, a wisp of spirit slowly came out from that crystal, changing into a translucent shadow. Looking at the facial features and build, this shadow unexpectedly was Yi Suo who was burned to death inside Heaven Prison. ¡°Master, please spear my life, Yi Suo was wrong, I was wrong, master, please spare my life¡­¡­¡± Yi Suo loudly begged for mercy, and this spirit that had changed into shadow trembled nonstop. His body had already been burned beyond recognition, but Third Elder Bai Yanhu was able to preserve this wisp of incomplete spirit using unknown means. ¡°Did you complete your task?¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu gloomily asked. Yi Suo instinctively nodded his head, then shook his head again, ¡°No, I was wrong, disciple did a bad job, beg teacher¡­¡­¡± ¡°Who asked you to take the initiative to enter the match of Great Competition?¡± Third Elder coldly interrupted the words of Yi Suo. ¡°Master, I¡­¡­¡± The body of Yi Suo trembled even violently. ¡°Where is Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhukun?¡± Third Elder asked again. Yi Suo shook his head once again, ¡°I don¡¯t know, I really don¡¯t know, master, please spare my life, hereafter, disciples will definitely¡­¡­¡± ¡°There is no hereafter, since you did the bad job, what¡¯s the point of letting you live?¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu coldly without any emotion suddenly waved his hands. Then the spirit of Yi Suo gave a horrible shriek, as it was swatted to death. This old man is truly sinister! Outside the door, under the eaves, Ye Chuan who was accustomed to seeing various kind of ruthless means also was startled involuntarily, and a slight spirit ripple spread out. A personal disciple he had cultivated for many years, without any affection and emotion, he directly swatted to death, wasn¡¯t this too ruthless? ¡°Who?¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu who was stilling upright on the high place of hall suddenly raised his head and he instantly flew out, then swatted towards the spirit of Ye Chuan which was hiding under the eaves. Chapter 104: Really little time Chapter 104: Really little time ¡°Peng!¡± An antique and very exquisite wooden window suddenly broke apart, then Third Elder Bai Yanhu rushed out from that window at an astonishing speed. After that, his right hand caught the empty void, and the spirit of Ye Chuan suddenly sunk. His spirit had a hard to move feeling, and a cold wind blew against his spirit, nearly ripping apart his spirit into two. Evil Wind Finger? Ye Chuan was startled, and he immediately recognized this technique. As expected, this old man really cultivated a sinister and vicious technique. Millions of years ago, Evil Wind Finger was a life technique of a peerless Great Devil called Old Monster, afterwards, under the command of Ye Chuan, the founder of Cloud Mist Sect Ghost Hand Medicinal King killed him, and this technique fell into the hand of Ghost Hand Medicinal King, and was sealed up in Cloud Mist Sect. Now, although Cloud Mist Sect was declining day by day, but it had a long legacy which Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, this kind of new sects couldn¡¯t compare, moreover there were many great techniques that were sealed up. In particular, Evil Wind Finger, this kind of peerless demonic technique were only known and under the control of successive Sect Masters. But here Third Elder Bai Yanhu was using it. He unexpectedly learned Evil Wind Finger, this demonic technique secretly and moreover cultivated it to this decent level, no wonder he was able to scatter the soul of Yi Suo! The spirit of Ye Chuan suddenly shrunk, shrunk into a small ball, then suddenly expanded. And drawing the support of this violent repulsive force, he struggled free from the clutch of Third Elder Bai Yanhu, then soared away harnessing the ill wind. ¡°Since you have come, why are you going?¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu suddenly sat down crossed-legged, then his spirit similarly came out and he spat out a cyan flying sword from his mouth. Then harnessing this life flying sword, his spirit chased after Ye Chuan. And while chasing, his spirit expanded, and indistinctly changed into a huge mouth, trying to directly swallow the spirit of Ye Chuan. ¡°Madman!¡± This old man, truly not fearing for his life! Ye Chuan was greatly surprised, letting out a spirit was already very dangerous, and as for the battle between spirits, all the cultivators greatly dreaded it, as it was even more dangerous. Any accidents in spirit form would be a fatal. But even if it was the direct confrontation between spirits, obviously, Third Elder Bai Yanhu wouldn¡¯t stop until dead, lest him scattering the soul of Yi Suo would be exposed. After letting out the spirit, Third Elder Bai Yanhu could harness the ill wind for nightwalking, moreover, could also control flying sword and other similar treasures. Naturally, harnessing the ill wind was not comparable to harnessing the flying sword. Ye Chuan immediately made a decision, and his spirit suddenly divided into two, then from two to four¡­¡­and so on. Instantly, his spirit split into thousands and dispersed in all direction. Spirit Splitting Technique! Ye Chuan was also ready to risk everything, and used another secret technique. Millions of years ago, this was his best move which was only inferior to Heaven Concealing Technique before he stepped into the pinnacle. Relying on this technique, he repeatedly escaped the deadly moves of many enemies, and finally setting foot on the pinnacle, he became honorable Great Sage, and could conceal the heaven with only his hand everywhere in Wilderness World. Now, his cultivation was nothing compared to before, but fortunately, he had broken through to Xiushi realm, so he could use this technique with an effort. Roar! The spirit of third Elder Bai Yanhu silently roared, then attacked ferociously, unfortunately, he was able to swallow only a small portion of the spirit of Ye Chuan. The greater part fled successfully and the ill wind in the sky of White Tiger Mountain dispersed. ¡°Come back!¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu roared and his spirit soared again and was about to attack again, but his spirit suddenly shook. Not only was he not able to refine the swallowed spirit parts, those spirit parts began to burn as if torch, injuring his spirit. And even though his cultivation was Rank 3 Daoist Realm, he couldn¡¯t help but felt extreme pain, and a blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. The incomparably imposing Third Elder Bai Yanhu who considered himself best in the world was suddenly frightened, and didn¡¯t dare to give a chase. After swallowing the spirit of the enemy, he however received the injury, this circumstance had two explanation. Either the other side had a treasure to protect the spirit, or the spirit of other party was far more powerful than his, like that, even with his cultivation of Rank 3 Daoist Master, he wasn¡¯t able to refine it. Refining the spirit of an enemy could rob the spiritual power and even could thoroughly understand a part of the memory and technique. But if he couldn¡¯t refine after swallowing a spirit, then his spirit would receive the injury, this was serious! Being an expert who specialized in spirit, Third Elder Bai Yanhu clearly understood this danger. He immediately spat out the spirits of Ye Chuan which escaped all around. After that, the more he thought, the more restless he became, then he quickly returned his spirit into his body, then without any words, he returned back to White Tiger Hall. And just after sitting straight on the high place of the hall, he had a feeling in his heart, then he immediately turned around and spat out his life flying sword to protect himself. Above the crystal core inlaid on the wall, a wisp of black smoke appeared which slowly changed into a blurry back robbed person enveloped in black mist. ¡°I pay respect to Your Excellency Emissary!¡± The heart of Third Elder Bai Yanhu trembled. He was completely unaware when this Dark Underworld Emissary arrived here in White Tiger Mountain. He immediately knelt down in reverence and awe. ¡°Bai Yanhu, you are so pathetic, didn¡¯t you let the spirit of other people slip away right before your eyes?¡± The tone of this Dark Underworld Emissary was ice-cold. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with Third Elder Bai Yanhu. Then, grabbing in the empty air, all the remaining spirit remnants of Ye Chuan inside the body of Bai Yanhu were caught in his hand, and they turned into a wisp of thin black qi, circling around his fingertip, then slowly disappeared after a good while. ¡°Your Excellency Emissary, I¡­¡­¡± Bai Yanhu sweated profusely and sweats began to trickle down from his forehead. Even though his cultivation was Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, in front of this Dark Underworld Emissary, he was nothing, so much so that he wasn¡¯t even able to perceive the strength of the other party. In the end, what realm is the cultivation of this Dark Underworld Emissary? In front of the disciples, Bai Yanhu set himself high above the masses, but in front of this Dark Underworld Emissary, his hands and feet were ice-cold in fear and trepidation. ¡°The cultivation of that person is not up to much, his spirit could only harness the ill wind to flee, but, the grade of his spirit is amazing, and especially that move, suddenly splitting spirits to escape, it is extremely similar to a certain legendary great technique which is already lost in Wilderness World. Bai Yanhu, no need to blame yourself too much, no need to mention you, even if I had personally taken the action, I might not have been able to stop him from leaving, but¡­¡­¡± Dark Underworld Emissary paused and said coldly: ¡°But, you are still too careless, even though other people had approached so close using Spirit Nightwalking, you were not able to discover him. Besides, now you don¡¯t have much time left, that Great Competition was a good chance, but you missed it. Now if you don¡¯t seize another chance again, then you don¡¯t have to stay in Cloud Mist Sect. Oh, that¡¯s right, I will tell you the latest news, Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Sect Master Yun Feiwu will break out from the trap very soon and he might return back to Cloud Mist Sect at any time, so look out for yourself. In addition, no matter what method you use, you must find that person of just now, I like his spirit!¡± The voice of Dark Underworld Emissary faintly came, then changing into a wisp of smoke, he disappeared. Just like coming without a trace, he disappeared without a trace, it was quite strange. The complexion of Third Elder Bai Yanhu who was kneeling on the hall become dead-like deathly pale. Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Sect Master Yun Feiwu will return at any time? With his cultivation and prestige, after returning to Cloud Mist Sect, wouldn¡¯t he be able to uncover all the atrocities he (Bai Yanhu) had done? Cold sweat flowed out from Bai Yanhu, now he really had little time! He had to accelerate many plans and had to take the risk! Chapter 105: The mountain road twists around each new peak Chapter 105: The mountain road twists around each new peak At dawn, the horizon revealed a trace of marble white color of the dawn, but the sky of Cloud Mist Sect was still dark. Flame Devil was sitting cross-legged outside the gate of Purple Cloud Courtyard. In former days, in underground Ghost Market, his status of aloof and no one dared to look down upon him, but now he was most willing to be a gatekeeper. After staying in Purple Cloud Peak for this period of time, he felt that the gains of this time period were still greater than the gains of the seclusion cultivation of ten years. Ye Chuan not only helped him to resolve his heart demon calamity, but also made his mind tranquil. In the daytime, he would be busy to plant the medicinal herbs on the mountain, and in the night, he would act as a gatekeeper. This kind of leisurely, carefree and feeling at ease and justified feelings was something he had never obtained in the past when he was wandering all around. Flame Devil liked this kind of feelings. With this kind of insipid life, he got the clear understanding of himself, and even had already begun to make preparation to rebuild his Scorching Sun Body, restoring his lost confidence. The sky quickly got brighter, but Flame Devil still sat cross-legged without making any sound as if an old monk sitting in meditation. Whoosh! At that time, an ill wind suddenly blew in the sky of Purple Cloud Peak, flickering the candlelight. Flame Devil abruptly opened his eyes, and happened to see the spirit of Ye Chuan which was harnessing the ill wind, urgently rushing into Purple Cloud Courtyard. His spirit was dim and aura was also disorderly, appeared to have fled in confusion after bearing a severe injury. Flame Devil had never seen such appearance of Ye Chuan, so hastily getting up, he rushed after this spirit and arrived at the study. Under the dim light of Cyan Lotus Lamp, the spirit and body of Ye Chuan combined into one. And sure enough, Ye Chuan looked pale and his gaze was somewhat dull. Now he didn¡¯t have the demeanor of former days. ¡°Noble son, noble son Ye, are you injured?¡± Flame Devil was greatly alarmed in his heart, and immediately got nervous. The cultivation realm of Ye Chuan was not up to much, but in the view of Flame Devil, Ye Chuan was a real knowledge was not showy, moreover, he could predict like a prophet, and could seek luck and avoid calamity. What kind of great devil could injure Ye Chuan so severely? Could it be that an extremely powerful Great Devil or the formidable enemy of Cloud Mist Sect who wants revenge against the sect came to Cloud Mist Mountain Range? Thinking this, Flame Devil who could walk unhindered in underground Ghost Market in former days couldn¡¯t help but be perturbed. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t reply, and only after a good while as if he slowly came back to his senses, a little bit of his demeanor was restored, then he instructed, ¡°Yi Yangzi, go, close the gate of Cloud Mist Courtyard.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Flame Devil bowed receiving the order. Although Ye Chuan didn¡¯t answer directly, but hearing his such words, he was sure of his guess, Ye Chuan must have met with an extremely powerful adversary. And just when he was about to walk out, he suddenly turned around and said, ¡°Noble son, should we activate the restriction? Let this old slave use all of my energy to activate the defense restriction of Purple Cloud Peak in full power until you are better.¡± Ye Chuan had difficulties, so Flame Devil didn¡¯t decline to shoulder a responsibility and was ready to risk everything including his own life too. ¡°No need, be sure to just close the gate, but everything else should be as usual. If someone come up the mountain to search and interrogate, let them come.¡± Ye Chuan answered. He was sure that Third Elder Bai Yanhu wouldn¡¯t let this matter drop and he would go all around to investigate his (Ye Chuan) whereabouts and identity. And at this time, if he activates the defense restriction, wouldn¡¯t that be confessing without being pressed? ¡°Noble son, rest assured, this old slave understand.¡± Flame Devil turned around and left in a rush, then closing the gate of Purple Cloud Courtyard, he continued to calmly sit in the doorway. Sure enough, not long after, when the sky was slightly bright, a large group of people with ferocious aura came up the mountain and they kept searching every corner of Purple Cloud Peak, looking for the so-called the assassins of Black Cauldron Sect. Flame Devil who had drifted about outside for many years was used to seeing wind and waves. Complying with the instruction of Ye Chuan, he calmly let these lackeys of Third Elder search all around. And after finding nothing, these lackeys had to go down the mountain on their own. After confirming the lackeys of Third Elder were gone, Flame Devil closed the gate again and coming to the outside of the study, he asked: ¡°Noble son, those people left, now, what should this old slave do?¡± ¡°Nothing, whatever you do usually, continue to do so. I will go to the mountain behind and will return after three days.¡± Ye Chuan opened the door and instructed after coming out, then he walked away in large strides. Yesterday, relying on Spirit Splitting technique, he was able to flee from the chase of Third Elder Bai Yanhu, but the injury of this time was truly severe. His spirit had shrunk and the range of his divine sense had also decreased to less than half of former days. If he wished to restore to his normal level again, then either he should cultivate in seclusion throughout the year or go to look for a number of worldly treasure to treat his spirit. So he wanted to go to the back mountain to see whether he had a good luck or not. Ye Chuan decided to go and take a walk deep into Cloud Mist Mountain Range. All along, he had this idea, and now, even if he wasn¡¯t able to find worldly treasure to treat his spirit, he would at least be able to see what types of yao beasts were there in the depths of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. And he had decided to return just after three days because that day happens to be the day he had made an agreement with Liu Hong to walk around the underground Ghost Market. ¡°Ah, noble son¡­¡­¡± Flame Devil was very surprised, and before he could follow after Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan however had already disappeared without a trace. If ordinary people received such severe spirit injury, then at least for next three months, they wouldn¡¯t dare to go out, otherwise, if they happen to meet a devil that specialized in refining other people¡¯s spirit, even if they didn¡¯t die, they would definitely lose a layer of their skin. But here, Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit was so severely injured, but no need to talk about recuperating quietly, he went to the mountain where yao beasts ran amuck, wasn¡¯t he afraid of¡­¡­ Flame Devil¡¯s heart wavered and was unable to set his mind at rest, but after thinking for a bit, he didn¡¯t follow after Ye Chuan, just made the preparation in secret. The news of Ye Chuan leaving the sect, and had gone to the depth of Cloud Mist Mountain Range to temper himself spread around the sect very quickly. And as for Zhu Sijia, she angrily entered the secret chamber to cultivate in seclusion. She truly hated and was angry with Ye Chuan. The depth of Cloud Mist Sect was very dangerous and unfathomable, and Ye Chuan went there without worrying about himself, but didn¡¯t he think that there were other people that will worry about him? Went then went, why didn¡¯t he at least notify them before leaving, don¡¯t he know that someone would be so worried that they wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep and eat? Zhu Sijia was very angry but Third Elder Bai Yunhu was very happy. Originally, he was a little bit suspicious of Ye Chuan. He suspected Ye Chuan might be the intruder of yesterday who had used Yin Spirit Nightwalking, but after hearing the news, he completely dismissed this thought. How high was the cultivation of Ye Chuan? Where could he find the technique of yesterday? Moreover, if the intruder of yesterday was really Ye Chuan, then with his spirit badly injured, he wouldn¡¯t have dared even to go out of the sect, where would he get the courage to go to the mountain behind by himself where yao beasts ran amuck? After eliminating Ye Chuan, Third Elder Bai Yanhu began to focus on several other targets, among them, there were Great Elder Zhu Guohong and Second Elder Nangong Ren. He secretly paid attention to each and every move of these two people. Of course, eliminating Ye Chuan from his doubts didn¡¯t mean he had let him off. The mountain behind was dangerous, and dying of disciple when going out for a travel was very normal, moreover, many impulsive disciples died each year. So even if someone found the corpse of Ye Chuan in one corner of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, that wouldn¡¯t be suspicious at all. Third Elder Bai Yanhu coldly smiled and his complexion got ferocious. Originally, he was forced to a corner with nowhere to go, but to his surprise, such a favorable chance appeared so quickly. As long as Ye Chuan was dead, selecting a new sect¡¯s Big Disciple would be within his schedule. And after arranging his own confidant to take up the duty as sect¡¯s Big Disciple, he certainly would be able to strengthen his influence and control over the sect. Like that, it would not be impossible to control the entire sect before the return of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Sect Master Yun Feiwu! Thinking this, Bai Yunhu hastily wrote a note, and clapped his hand, then his close guard came over, and he whispered instruction in his ear. The latter bowed then left with that note. Very quickly, a golden eagle soared to the sky from White Tiger Mountain, leaving Cloud Mist Sect. And after flying for a long time, penetrating through a thick layer of cloud, it finally landed on the body of a grey clothed old man on a high mountain. This grey clothed old man had been sitting cross-legged to quietly cultivate on the top of this high mountain for unknown numbers of years. He sat absolutely still as if a stone carving and his body was covered with dust, even to the extent that moss and some unknown weeds had sprouted out from his body. After a good while, this grey clothed old man without any aura and warmth who was motionless as if a piece of rock finally opened his eyes slowly, then he took out a slip of paper tied on the leg of the golden eagle. On that slip of paper, there were very few words, ¡®Mountain behind, kill.¡¯ This was a casually written letter, even if it falls into the hands of strangers, they would only be confused and wouldn¡¯t know the exact meaning, but this grey clothed old man however understood what it meant. After that, the slip of paper in his hand was shredded into small pieces with an invisible sword lights. Then faintly sighing, he stood up, and with a single step, he was already halfway point of the mountain and in another step, he was already at the foot of the mountain, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace. On the cliff of this mountain, three words ¡®Sealing Sword Poison¡¯ were craved. Chapter 106: Evil Eyed Cow Demon Chapter 106: Evil Eyed Cow Demon After leaving Purple Cloud Peak, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t go deep into Cloud Mist Mountain Range right away rather first came to the mountain behind Cloud Mist Sect. Near Evil Dragon Abyss, inside a hidden underground cave, horned demon Na Gusi was cultivating quietly. After experiencing Nine Transformation Demonic Technique¡¯s power and benefit, not to mention disguising himself into an ordinary of Cloud Mist Sect to defeat the opponent of Great Competition, even if Ye Chuan asked him to go and assassinate Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong, he would accept it without even blinking his eyes. ¡°This is the core law of the second layer of Nine Transformation Demonic Technique, cultivate properly.¡± Ye Chuan threw a bamboo slip to Na Gusi, then headed towards the depths of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. To suppress the opponent completely, one should take a step at a time, and after wearing down the resistance of the opponent, rout them in one fell swoop. And to buy the heart of people, one should also slowly take one step at a time. After cultivating the second layer core law, Na Gusi would naturally expect the third layer, the fourth layer¡­¡­and so on, like this, horned demon Na Gusi wouldn¡¯t be able to free himself, and thoroughly be unable to escape his control. To play a chess, first one must arrange the chess pieces. And since he had yet to get rid of his opponent, Third Elder Bai Yanhu, he had to lay out the pawns he control when he was still in the dark. In the first life, he could conceal the heaven with his hand, but in this life, he didn¡¯t want to simply conceal the heaven like before, rather wanted to set foot on even higher pinnacle! Cloud Mist Sect had a long history, was one of the few rare sects inside Da Qin Dynasty that possessed ancient inheritance. Strictly speaking, the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range that stretched more than 10,000 li was the back mountain of Cloud Mist Sect, merely after Cloud Mist Sect declined and become worse day by day, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect turned from a guest into a host, and the sphere of influence of Cloud Mist Sect reduced by a wide margin, that¡¯s all. After leaving the sect, Ye Chuan began to speed up. Cloud Mist Mountain Range was shrouded by thick fog throughout the year. The forest was also dense. And behind the mountain, there was still another mountain, was a continuous chain of mountains. Walking into the mountain, the roar of yao beasts and various kind of animals never stopped. If an average person walked into this mountain, then they would be scared, timid and wouldn¡¯t be able to walk easily. But Ye Chuan nevertheless was walking as if on wings, in the middle of lofty ridges and towering mountains, he was galloping. Inside Cloud Mist Sect, he should always be on the guard restraining his heart, and couldn¡¯t expose his real strength and identity. But in the wild, all scruples and restrains no longer exists, he could speed off and allow two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body to seethe as much as he liked. All the way, he swallowed pure and fresh air as well as that pure worldly spiritual power drifting in the sky like a whale as if he was hungering for them. One Heaven Swallowing Talisman gave him the strength of 18,000 jin, which was already unheard-of. And all along the way, two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within the body of Ye Chuan were circulating, which made the overwhelming majority of yao beasts to give way in a flurry. But there were also some low intelligence or not afraid of death yao beasts that obstruct his way, even to the extent of meeting him head-on. A fierce Hell Hound blocking his path, kill! A Golden Backed Pit Viper jumped out of unknown place, kill! Ye Chuan practically ran straight forward and got farther and farther away from Cloud Mist Sect. A Hell Hound and Golden Backed Pit Viper, this kind of yao beasts weren¡¯t the wilderness mutated spices he wanted, so when these types of beasts blocked his way, Ye Chuan just killed and grind his way through. He didn¡¯t use any powerful weapons, just used a branch he had casually picked up or his bare hand. Circulating two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he wiped out all the beasts that blocked his path. At the dusk, Ye Chuan arrived at the inner part of the mountain range, and along the path, he obtained a lot of medicinal herbs. Unfortunately, all were somewhat common herbs, and he didn¡¯t come across any worldly treasure that was capable of treating the injured spirit, and also didn¡¯t encounter any worthy to tame and cultivate yao beasts. The first day passed very quickly. After cultivating for the entire night, in the next day, Ye Chuan continued to go deeper into the mountain range. The deeper he went, the more medicinal herb he found, and the more yao beasts he encountered, but still didn¡¯t come across what he wanted. In the second night, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t rest, rather continued to wander around under the hazy moonlight. And in the latter half of the night, he reached a very steep valley. This was a volcanic valley, the air was filled with volcanic ash, and in some place, there still was bright red magma, boiling on the earth¡¯s surface. Everywhere else there were lush trees, but here, it was practically bare, only the wild herb called Fiery Dragon Herb were growing here. Ye Chuan entered this valley, and picked up some matured Fiery Dragon Herb. This wild herb was poisonous, if eaten, internal organs would fester and die. Its corrosive property was astonishing, even yao beasts don¡¯t dare to touch it, but if used properly, it was also a treasure, as it was used to refine Fiery Dragon Pill. Inside the valley, there were many Fiery Dragon Herb, but many of them were only ten or so years old. It was hard to find Fiery Dragon Herb that had grown for 100 or more years. Ye Chuan found very few strains in the crack of the stones. And the more he walked towards the inner part of this valley, the hotter the ground got and the more frequently the magma erupted out from the ground. Ye Chuan circulated two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, then boldly but cautiously walked farther and farther from the entrance of the valley. And after he walked for roughly an hour, the alae of his nose suddenly moved as he smelled a strong different smell. Looking up, he saw a Fiery Dragon Herb that was grown on a cliff far away. Just looking at it, Ye Chuan knew that this herb was at least 700 or 800 years old. ¡°Good thing!¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan shone, then rushing over, he stood on the stones and extended his hand. But just after his hand reached to the herb, his hand stopped, then he used a medicinal hoe to carefully dug out this Fiery Dragon Herb. This kind of Fiery Dragon Herb, Ye Chuan would have casually picked them up, but this one was different, as it was more than 700 years old, so Ye Chuan carefully dug it out. He wanted to dig it out together with its root. Fiery Dragon Herb was yang in nature, so if he planted this herb in Evil Dragon Abyss where yang qi was plentiful, then its growth would absolutely be satisfactory. Rustle, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind him, and the distance was not even 10 meters away. Who? Ye Chuan who was digging suddenly stopped his movement and he became alert all of a sudden. This person had already approached 10 meters behind him, and only then he realized it, he was truly too careless! Ye Chuan circulated two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and after secretly preparing a fatal move, he slowly turned around, and was dumbfounded. Behind, there was no one with the exception was a calf slowly walking out from the dark. Although its body looked sturdy, but there was a layer of thick callus on the sole of its legs, and it was making no sound while walking. Unlike a common cow, its two eyes were especially big, were as big as a bowl. But when looking at other, they didn¡¯t look straightly rather look with a sideward glance, which appeared quite comical. ¡°Where did this Evil Cow come from?¡± Ye Chuan was happy and also relaxed. The unusual cow in front of Ye Chuan was commonly known as Evil Eyed Cow Demon or simply referred to as an Evil Cow. It was quite famous in the Wilderness World, merely in a derogatory sense. Evil Cow appeared physically strong, but their courage, in fact, was smaller than a mouse, nevertheless their temperament was very stubborn, no one knows when it would make a turn. When they were normally looking at people, their eyes would be slanted and also bright, but when they were angry, their eyes emit cyan light while glaring. They are very powerful, but their reaction was slow and was slow in movement, so their attack misses 99 times out of 100. As a result, they were barely a low leveled yao beasts. Ever since the ancient times, if someone was stubborn and didn¡¯t know how to be flexible in some circumstances, then they were often called this Evil Eyed Cow Demon to describe. An Evil Cow, it was not a threat. Ye Chuan laughed and continued to dig out the Fiery Dragon Herb on the cliff. But not long after, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so turning around to look, he saw more and more Evil Eyed Cow Demons appearing behind him, one head, two head¡­¡­¡­, and unexpectedly all of them were glaring at him, seemed to be angry. Chapter 107: Grabbing a Big Cow Chapter 107: Grabbing a Big Cow Is this happening because of this 700 or 800 years old Fiery Dragon Herb? Ye Chuan quickly understood what was happening here, indeed, this Fiery Dragon Herb was deliberately left by these Evil Cows, and in order to protect this rare Fiery Dragon Herb, Evil Cows who were cowardly in former days suddenly gathered up! Swish, swish, swish, not waiting for Ye Chuan to finish thinking, cyan light whistled past him and a bowl-shaped craters appeared on the hard cliff. The accuracy was very bad, but the power was really not small. It was just like a piece of stone colliding with a wall in a high speed. If someone was accidentally hit, then even if he was wearing a heavy armor, he might vomit blood due to the impact. Ye Chuan stood still, there was no need for him to dodge. The first round of the attacks of Evil Cows all failed. And after a good while, the second round of attack slowly came. This time, even more Evil Eyed Cow Demon came out of the dark, and the attack was more concentrated. ¡°Eh, can it¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan still stood motionless, but seeing more and more Evil Cows glaring at him, his heart suddenly moved. Three days was about to be over soon, and the day he had to return to Cloud Mist Sect was almost here. Although he had picked up many medicinal herbs all along the road, but they were far from achieving the objective of this trip. He rarely went out on a trip, so he couldn¡¯t return empty-handed too. A single Evil Cow was useless, was far from being as useful as Golden Cicada King and Piggy, but if he could use Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique to tame a hundred or a thousand such Evil Eyed Cow Demons, forming a legion of Evil Cows, wouldn¡¯t it be point where, attack there and see whoever, destroy whoever? In a flash, Ye Chuan suddenly rushed forward, and above his head, Cyan Lotus Lamp appeared. After that, with a flash of cyan light, an Evil Cow disappeared, and a small cow-head pattern appeared on the body of Cyan Lotus Lamp. And before other Evil Eyed Cow Demons could react a cyan light flashed again in the sky, then again another Evil Cow disappeared. Ye Chuan suddenly moved like a ghost, and with a cyan light flashing repeatedly inside the valley, one after another Evil Eyed Cow Demons disappeared in the thin air. But Evil Eyed Cow Demons still come out continuously from the dark, obviously, the remainder Evil Eyed Cow Demons were still stubbornly chasing after Ye Chuan. Since Ye Chuan still hadn¡¯t fallen, many Evil Eyed Cow Demons were rushing in disorder. Roar! An ear deafening roar suddenly resounded, and an aggressive Evil Eyed Cow Demon charged out from the dark. Compared to other Evil Eyed Cow Demons, the build of this one was especially huge, was more than twice as huge as other Evil Eyed Cow Demon. Its eyes were blood red. Other Evil Cows emitted cyan radiance, but this Evil Cow however emitted blood-red radiance. And after its attack landed on the cliff, large pieces of rocks tumbled down. Its power was astonishing. Evil Cow King? Just perfect! Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t surprised, rather was happy and he suddenly got excited. Common Evil Cows were only the lowest ranked yao beasts, but this Evil Cow King with very red eyes was completely different. Its huge size was already imposing enough, even if it was not emitting blood-red radiance, merely its huge body¡¯s pressure was scary, moreover, it was powerful enough to contend against Xiushi realm experts! Ye Chuan suddenly stopped then turning around, he rushed towards this Evil Cow King. Roar! This huge Evil Cow King roared again, and two blood-red light beams shot towards Ye Chuan. The power was frightening and the speed was also faster than the common Evil Cows. Ye Chuan suddenly bowed down, then putting forth the strength on the tip of his toes, he instantly jumped and exactly landed on the back of Evil Cow King. After that, the blade light flashed as thin blades appeared in the space between index and middle finger of his right hand, then stretching out his hand, he slightly cut open the throat of Evil Cow King. With this, the huge and threateningly moving Evil Cow King fell to the ground, and was unable to stand any longer. Before entering the mountain range, Ye Chuan had already made preparation. His blades were smeared with a kind of drug he had personally refined. It was not fatal, but after mixing with the blood of the opponent, it could quickly paralyze and make the opponent lose their power to move. The skin of Evil Cow King was crude and its flesh was thick, so it would be very hard to cut the skin of its back, as a result, the soft throat was a perfect point. After poisoning, it was at the mercy of Ye Chuan, and with a flash of cyan light, Ye Chuan tamed it and took it inside Cyan Lotus Lamp. Evil Eyed Cow Demons were very stubborn, but they were very cowardly in normal times, still, once they set their mind on one enemy, they would initiate a frenzied assault. However, witnessing their leader Evil Cow King was subdued by Ye Chuan, they finally were scared and dispersed in confusion. ¡°Where do you think you all are going?¡± Ye Chuan, in turn, chased after the panic-stricken Evil Cows, and after spending four hours, he finally subdued all Evil Eyed Cow Demons inside this volcanic valley. Together with Evil Cow King, there were more than 1000 Evil Cows. And after successfully subduing all of them, he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to leave, instead he stationed in this volcanic valley, training these yao beasts who everybody from past to present thought would be useless in a battle. Next day, early in the morning, a strange scene appeared inside Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Ye Chuan had begun his return journey towards Cloud Mist Sect. He was not running widely like before and also not stepping on the flying sword to soar in the sky like many other Xiushi realm cultivators, rather was riding an Evil Cow which was leisurely walking through a white mountain and black water. After taming Evil Cow King, Ye Chuan made it his mount. Moreover, with the cooperation of this big fellow, training other Evil Cows was much easier. When he had come here, there were only Golden Cicada King and Piggy, these two small yao beasts inside Cyan Lotus Lamp, but when returning, he had more than 1000 Evil Cows too. Although they were only lowest ranked yao beasts and people looked down upon them, but Ye Chuan was very satisfied with them and felt this trip was worthwhile. From the past until the present, there was no trash yao beast, merely wasn¡¯t able to see how to use, that¡¯s all. Even a blunt knife could also kill a person! Cultivating Heaven Concealing Technique to the ultimate attainment, he would have only concealed the heaven like before, and he also would have only reached peak Sage realm in cultivation. But now he was cultivating Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique which he had obtained in God Burial Valley, on one side cultivate and on other side tame various kinds of yao beasts, so after cultivating it to the highest attainment, what kind of realm will he reach? Will it be the legendary Immortal ream which was above Sage realm, or, were there even more levels? Ye Chuan sat on the back of Evil Cow King and was full of anticipation for his cultivation and future. Evil Cow King¡¯s running speed was not fast, but its stamina was far higher compared to common yao beasts. Even after running constantly for half the day, it wasn¡¯t even breathing heavily. In the noon, Evil Cow King who was carrying Ye Chuan reached a high mountain, and from there, Cloud Mist Sect enveloped in cloud and mist was visible far away. ¡°Cloud Mist Sect, I¡¯m back!¡± Ye Chuan took a quick look at the distant Cloud Mist Sect, then lightly used force in his legs. After that, Evil Cow King ran down the mountain. But when it arrived halfway down the mountain, it suddenly stopped. Ahead, in a single glance, only dense woods could be seen, and there wasn¡¯t anything peculiar, but the space between the eyes of Ye Chuan twitched. ¡°Who¡¯s there, come out!¡± Ye Chuan coldly shouted, immediately becoming alert. He had rich experience, although his cultivation was not as heaven-defying as previous lifetime and had just stepped into the real cultivation, but his intuition was still there. He knew that it was an ambush, either it was an enemy expert or was a powerful yao beast! Third Elder Bai Yanhu, Black Cauldron Sect Tuoba Xiong, or¡­¡­ Ye Chuan secretly circulated two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, waiting quietly. Chapter 108: Don’t force me to make a move Chapter 108: Don¡¯t force me to make a move In the dense forest, with the rustling sounds, a group of people came out. Some of them were carrying heavy bronze cauldron on their shoulder, some were holding frightening mace and some were holding 100 jin blunt sword. Each and every one of them had an ice-cold expression, and their strength was also powerful. All of them were at least Rank 2 Xiushi and even Rank 3 Xiushi experts. ¡°Black Cauldron Sect?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised. He already knew that Black Cauldron Sect was impatient to deal with him, but what he didn¡¯t expect was, Black Cauldron Sect sending only a group of young disciples like this. The figure of Sect Master Tuoba Xiong was missing. Originally, thinking Sect Master Tuoba Xiong had also come in person, he thought this would be troublesome, but seeing just these 13 disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, he relaxed. ¡°Yes, it is us Black Cauldron Sect.¡± An ice-cold and hoarse voice resounded, as a person walked out from inside the forest. This person was limping along, had only one arm which was also holding a crutch, and his head was wrapped around several times with a gauze, but his complexion was ferocious and he was gnashing his teeth. Ye Chuan looked and saw that this person was none other than Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s former Big Disciple Hong Lei who had suffered a great defeat in Great Competition. As it turned out it was this boy! Even after losing an arm, he still didn¡¯t know impenitence, not shedding a tear until one sees the coffin! Ye Chuan immediately understood what was going on, then spreading out divine sense to scan the surrounding, he discovered no one else was hidden to ambush, then he coldly smiled and said to Hong Lie, ¡°Yo, look who this is? Not to mention not reporting to Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Mountain Patrolling Hall for duty, you didn¡¯t even go to patrol the mountain early in the morning, but why run over to this place?¡± The face of Hong Lie suddenly turned red, then gritting his teeth, he got even angrier. Mentioning the pot that doesn¡¯t boil, after Great Competition, Sect Master Tuoba Xiong had publicly demoted him to common disciple, and he was in charge of mountain patrolling sundry duties. All the honor, glory and power of former days were gone, moreover, he thoroughly lost his face and now, he was unable to raise his head inside the sect. This time, he heard Ye Chuan had gone deep into Cloud Mist Mountain Range to temper himself, so he didn¡¯t hesitate to exhaust his family¡¯s property and all of his savings of many years in exchange for the support of more than ten experts of the sect. He was determined to kill Ye Chuan. And just like hard work won¡¯t let you down, justice will be done by God, sure enough, he encountered Ye Chuan in the mountain. To take revenge for himself, he was ready to do anything. And now, Hong Lie was already prepared to enjoy the panic, begging for mercy and struggle of Ye Chuan. But who would have thought that, at this time, Ye Chuan would instead reopen his scar! ¡°Kill, kill him for me!¡± Hong Lie roared and gnashed his teeth. Now, he didn¡¯t want anything as long as Ye Chuan was killed. The faster he was killed, the better, he wasn¡¯t able to wait even a moment longer. 13 expert of Black Cauldron Sect suddenly moved and surrounded Ye Chuan. Then the surrounding air suddenly became heavy and ice-cold killing intents were locked onto every vital point of Ye Chuan. These 13 were long-standing famous elites, and to fight against a person who had just broken through to Xiushi realm, they were confident in their victory! No matter whether it was Hong Lie or these 13 elite disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, all were confident! ¡°Noble son Hong, is there any need for this?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head as if he didn¡¯t see more than ten experts of Black Cauldron Sect glaring at him with killing intent, and indifferently talked in kindly with sincere expression, ¡°You and I do not have any huge debt of blood, we only battled on the behalf of our sect in Great Competition, nothing more. Moreover, this Great Competition has already ended too, so is there really the need for this? All say it is better to make friends than making enemies. You are no good like this, and your mentality is also not good, hereafter, how will you cultivate? Your look in itself is already not up to much, but now with the addition of such bad mentality and bad behavior, how can you get married to Tuoba Xiaoniao?¡± ¡°You¡­¡­, brat, you¡­¡­, kill, kill him for me, now!¡± The face of Hong Lie twisted, he was really angered to insane by Ye Chuan. In Black Cauldron Sect, everyone knew that he was secretly in love with Tuoba Xiaoniao. Although he was short and looked boorish, but at that time, he was still Big Disciple of the sect, so although it was difficult to marry Tuoba Xiaoniao, but it was not like there was no hope at all. But now with this appearance, if he still wanted to marry Tuoba Xiaoniao, then that would definitely be the greatest joke! Swish, swish! Suddenly an ear piercing sound of movement resounded inside the dense forest. 13 experts of Black Cauldron Sect again changed their position and simultaneously initiated ferocious attacks. In an instant, glint and flash of daggers and swords streaked across, causing the fallen leaves to fly all over the sky. Instantly, as if magnificent army with thousands of men and horses, Ye Chuan was closely surrounded from all directions with nowhere to hide. Black Gate Killing Formation! Hong Lie and his group had overwhelming advantage of numbers, and there was no risk at all, still they used their sect¡¯s killing formation, determining to win! ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­, brat, you wanted my arm, now I want your life, go to hell, go to hell, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Hong Lie laughed heartily as if he was insane. When angry, his face was twisted, and when happy and excited, he face was still twisted and looked fierce. And when the leaves floating all over the sky landed on the ground, the laughter of Hong Lie ceased abruptly. Ye Chuan who was trapped in the formation wasn¡¯t splattered on the spot as he had expected, instead was standing motionlessly with a leisurely and carefree appearance. But Evil Cow King he was riding was missing now. With 13 elites attacking at once, although he was no match for those attack, but even if he was no match for those attacks, he could dodge them. At that crucial moment, Ye Chuan moved left and right dodging the attacks of the experts of Black Cauldron Sect. ¡°Brat, if you have the ability then don¡¯t dodge, don¡¯t force us to make a final move!¡± Hong Lie firmly glared at Ye Chuan. If he could, he would have stepped forward and torn Ye Chuan apart with his own hand, but he didn¡¯t have such ability so he ferociously said: ¡°Today, you are dead! Go on, kill him, let¡¯s see what else he can do!¡± 13 experts of Black Cauldron Sect surrounding Ye Chuan attacked again with killing intent. And with them seizing the advantage of numbers, even if Ye Chuan had the better footwork to dodge, it was impossible to keep on dodging. Under the ferocious continuous attack, there inevitably would be a slip of a hand. ¡°Finished, you forced me to make my move, you are finished!¡± Ye Chuan was undaunted and even was smiling confronting the pressure of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s experts. Then with a flash of cyan light, an Evil Eyed Cow Demon appeared behind him and it timidly scanned at people while retreating continuously. Hong Lie and others were dumbfounded, and all of them roared with laughter. Evil Eyed Cow Demon was a low-level yao beast which was innately coward and stubborn. Even a hunter who wasn¡¯t a cultivator could kill it. So using such Evil Cow to fight against more than ten Xiushi realm experts, wasn¡¯t that the greatest joke? ¡°Hahaha, brat, is this your fatal move?¡± Hong Lie laughed heartily, and was incomparably happy in his heart. Even summoning such yao beast, what did this explain? This showed that Ye Chuan was really forced to the dead end today, and in a flurry, he was at his wits¡¯ end. Today, he would certainly die! ¡°What¡¯s the hurry, I haven¡¯t begun yet!¡± Ye Chuan also smiled, then a cyan light flashed again, and another Evil Eyed Cow Demon appeared behind him, and with a fellow companion, they slightly became calm. ¡°Hahaha, again an Evil Eyed Cow Demon, what else? Even if you summon one more, no, ten more, what can you do?¡± Hong Lie laughed widely, waiting to enjoy Ye Chuan¡¯s embarrassment and helplessness. But very soon, he wasn¡¯t able to laugh. Behind Ye Chuan, with the constant flashing of cyan light, more and more Evil Eyed Cow Demons appeared. 10, 20, 100¡­¡­, more and more appeared very quickly. In an instant, more than 1000 Evil Eyed Cow Demons appeared and all of them were unthinkably arranged neatly, seemed to be in a battle formation. Chapter 109: War Nation Chapter 109: War Nation Evil Eyed Cow Demons could also form a battle formation? Hong Lie and his group had their eyes wide open and were dumbstruck. ¡°Retreat and make the formation!¡± Hong Lie roared and was the first one to react. After the Great Competition, he had become a useless person after losing his arm, but as once high leveled cultivator among the younger generation, he was more experienced, so he was able to quickly sense the strong danger of the current situation. A single Evil Eyed Cow Demon was nothing, even ten of them together could be beheaded easily, but once more than thousands of them were gathered together, they gave a completely different feeling. Hong Lie and others felt heavy pressure. ¡°Retreat!¡± ¡°Black Gate Killing Formation!¡± Thirteen experts of Black Cauldron Sect quickly leaped back, then exchanging the position, they laid out Black Gate Killing Formation that was able to take the offense as well as the defensive ground once again. ¡°Are you ready?¡± Ye Chuan indifferently asked, and indifferently looked at those more than ten experts of Black Cauldron Sect who had a solemn expression as if they met a formidable foe. He simply disdained to take advantage of the time when they were withdrawing and forming the formation to carry out a sneak attack. ¡°Change the position and kill him!¡± Hong Lie gave ordered with sinister and ruthless expression. He didn¡¯t know how to explain this scene in front of his eyes, and also didn¡¯t know where Ye Chuan obtained so many Evil Eyed Cow Demons, but as long as Ye Chuan was killed, it was sufficient for him! Xiu Xiu Xiu! Ear piercing wind breaking sound resounded once again. The 13 experts of Black Cauldron Sect in the formation rushed forward, leaving behind afterimages. This time, they were even ferocious and their speed was even faster. With glints and flashes of daggers and swords, rumbling sound resounded, as those 1000 jin bronze cauldrons flew towards Ye Chuan at a fast speed. All 13 of them cooperated to unleash the strongest one attack. This attack sealed all the path to dodge so there was nowhere for Ye Chuan to hide. ¡°Have come at just the right time, merely it¡¯s too bad¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan looked at those bearing down menacingly 13 experts of Black Cauldron Sect and shook his head. Then a dazzling cyan colored light suddenly streak across the sky. After that, with the roar of especially huge Evil Cow King, the Evil Eyed Cow Demons on the front row standing behind Ye Chuan laid on the ground, then glaring with their cow eyes, they shoot out a cyan colored rays of light. Hong Lie¡¯s heart suddenly tightened as if an invisible big hand had grabbed his heart. The accuracy of the cyan rays of light of Evil Eyed Cow Demons was very low, but the power couldn¡¯t be underestimated. With more than hundred Evil Eyed Cow Demons attacking together, that cyan colored light beam looked magnificent. ¡°Change formation!¡± The 13 experts of Black Cauldron Sect simultaneously roared angrily and again changed the positions, continuing to rush towards Ye Chuan. The attack of over hundred Evil Eyed Cow Demons, all failed! Hong Lie was excited to see this and laughed heartily. The move of Evil Eyed Cow Demons was famous for being slow. Since the attack failed, how will Ye Chuan block this fatal attack of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s experts? Even more dazzling cyan light burst into bloom in the sky from the woods. The Evil Eyed Cow Demons standing on the second row displayed their prowess. This time, no less than 200 Evil Eyed Cow Demons attacked simultaneously, and now twice as much cyan colored rays of light were crowded together and its power was also double. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Sad and shrill screams resounded in the sky of the woods. Someone was unfortunately hit, and with a big wound in his chest, he was badly mangled. Another one was even more unfortunate, as he had more than half of his head cut off. Although the accuracy of the attack of Evil Eyed Cow Demons was very low, but the might however was truly high, far more powerful than the arrows shot from a crossbow. With the doubling of the concentration, exchanging the position was also of no use, they were unable to completely dodge all of them. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Speed up, kill him!¡± The remaining experts of Black Cauldron Sect shouted loudly, and continued to ferociously rush towards Ye Chuan, and now they were only a dozen or so steps away from Ye Chuan. The blood of their companion made them brutal and their latent capacity was also stimulated, so their speed suddenly increased. But even more concentrated cyan colored light beam whistled towards them. This time, 300 Evil Eyed Cow Demons had jointly attacked, so the power was even more frightening. Screams resounded again, four experts of Black Cauldron Sect fell this time. Losing legs and arms could be counted lucky, but those unlucky ones died on the spot. Xiu Xiu, wind breaking sounds resounded which was sharper than the sounds before. The remaining seven experts of Black Cauldron Sect were thoroughly enraged. They dashed ahead regardless of their safety, and instantly Ye Chuan was only seven steps away. Now they only needed to jump and they would reach Ye Chuan, then could directly shred him into pieces! Unfortunately, they didn¡¯t have that chance. Cyan Light flashed again, as the remaining more than 500 Evil Eyed Cow Demons simultaneously initiated the attack. Very concentrated cyan colored light beam shot towards the seven experts of Black Cauldron Sect and engulfed them. The sword tip of the expert who was in the front reached just half an inch away from the tip of Ye Chuan¡¯s nose, but this distance of half an inch completely wasted his desperate effort, and he no longer had another chance. 13 elite disciples of Black Cauldron Sect either died or injured, and not even a time needed to drink half a cup of a tea had passed. From the very beginning to the end, Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t raised his hand, moreover he had stood motionless. Simple before he was forced to personally raise his hand, his opponents were already dealt with. ¡°Impossible, how could this be, how could¡­¡­¡± Hong Lie was dumbstruck and dazed. 13 elite disciples of Black Cauldron, all of them were done in by a group of Evil Eyed Cow Demons. If he said this, who would believe? Even if he was still not injured and was at his peak, Hong Lie didn¡¯t have this kind of ability, he would not be able to defeat all of these 13 elite disciples, but this group of Evil Eyed Cow Demons behind Ye Chaun accomplished it. These low leveled yao beast whom he regarded as beneath his notice in former days, gathered together could bring out to play such incredible combat capability. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say, you are finished since you forced me to use my finishing move, ai¡­..¡± Ye Chuan looked at the elite disciples of Black Cauldron Sect who were rolling on the ground and said shaking his head: ¡°It¡¯s too bad, it¡¯s too bad, all these geniuses, outstanding cultivation in such young age, it must have been very hard to reach this realm. But this noble son specializes in killing geniuses.¡± ¡°What is this formation?¡± Hong Lie with bright red eyes asked. Now his heart was very heavy and he was unwilling. ¡°War Nation!¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said, ¡°Dying in this formation, in fact, is your honor. Average people, in their lifetime, never get a chance to see this kind of killing formation.¡± ¡°I will remember, surnamed Ye, crippling 13 elite disciples of my Black Cauldron Sect, our Sect Master will certainly settle this account. He will definitely avenge us!¡± Hong Lie gnashed his teeth, then suddenly turning around, he ran away. Even after his crutch fell to the ground, he didn¡¯t pick up, rather limping along the road, he tried to run away. And those four elite disciples who hadn¡¯t died but were heavily injured were also struggling to keep up the pace with him. And after rushing out to one kilometer, they turned around to see and seeing Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t chased after them, they finally sighed in relief. But suddenly a clapping sound resounded from the front, then Ye Chuan riding Evil Cow King came out from inside the woods, blocking their path in the front. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Hong Lie stopped his step and said while trembling. ¡°What do I want to do? Very soon, you will know.¡± Ye Chuan smiled evilly, then patted the Evil Cow King under him. After that, this huge fellow rushed forward and collided with panic-stricken Hong Lie and others. This ferocious collision made these people feel as if all the bones in their body were broken. ¡°Noble son Hong, help me deliver a letter to your Sect Master and Tuoba Xiaoniao.¡± Ye Chuan found a tough and tensile vine, then tying Hong Lie and others¡¯ hands, he pulled down their pants and arranged them in a line. After that, while Hong Lie and others were feeling uneasy, he picked up a sword and carved words on their shining white buttocks. On the left butt, he carved ¡°Thank You, Sect Master¡± and on the right side ¡°I love you, Xaoniao.¡± ¡°Return and tell your Sect Master and Tuoba Xiaoniao, I, Ye Chuan miss them.¡± Ye Chuan patted off the dust from his sleeve, then smiled evilly looking at those words on the shining white buttocks. After that, turning around, he rode the Evil Cow King and left. Behind, Hong Lie and others hastily fled for life. Each of them had bare shining white buttocks. Now other than embarrassment, they were even more embarrassed. Chapter 110: Yu Han Chapter 110: Yu Han There was still time before dark, so Ye Chuan leisurely rode Evil Cow King. And when he was just 50 li or so away from Cloud Mist Sect, it suddenly began to rain. Although this rain was not big, but it was continuous, and with the water mist curling upward and gathering together, the mist got denser and denser, enveloping large area of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. The weather of mountain was unusual, it could rain anytime. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t seek the shelter from the rain but continued to ride Evil Cow King in the rain, hurrying on with his journey. But not long after entering the bamboo forest, he suddenly stopped. Rainwater hit the leaves of bamboo trees, giving rise to the continuous rustling sound. And the area enveloped by the water mist in this area was not big but also not small, covering the radius of one kilometer of this bamboo forest. The rainwater had dampened the bamboo forest and also made it cold, so big and small animals had already retreated to their respective lair to seek the shelter from the rain. Even yao beasts that would wander around in the wilderness couldn¡¯t be seen. At one glance, there was nothing unusual, but the space between the eyebrows of Ye Chuan however twitched violently. There¡¯s expert! Ye Chuan slightly bowed, spread out his divine sense and secretly circulated the two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. Then a buzzing sound resounded, as the sharp spear tip of the Blood Spear he had obtained in Great Competition slightly trembled. But even after looking all around, he saw nothing unusual, and he didn¡¯t get any reaction in his divine sense too. Everything seemed to be his misconception, but Ye Chuan however was so tense that he had never been this tense before. As a Great Sage who had concealed the heaven with his hand before, he was very experienced and had a sharp intuition. His intuition was sharper than the yao beasts that were hidden in the mountain. Pa, pa, pa, clear clapping sound suddenly passed through this thick white mist. Ye Chuan carefully looked and saw an old man in grey colored clothing slowly coming out from the dense fog. His body was very thin and seemed to have endured the hardship of a long journey. His that grey robe was covered with dust. Moreover, his face was filled with wrinkles, and while walking, he was somewhat staggering. He appeared to have one foot in the grave, but seeing him, the complexion of Ye Chuan changed greatly. Under this rain, his body was thoroughly drenched long ago, but how come this grey robed old man was still so dusty? A drop of raindrops falling from the sky just happens to fall towards the head of this grey robed old man, but when it was merely one meter away, this raindrop suddenly began to decelerate, and due to the invisible power, it began to evaporate. The raindrop got smaller and smaller and when it was only half an inch away from the head of this old man, it completely disappeared! The complexion of Ye Chuan changed again. This grey robed old man appeared to have one foot in the grave, but in fact was a hidden extremely powerful expert! ¡°Did you come due to the request of Third Elder Bai Yanhu?¡± Ye Chuan asked. After forcing himself to calm down. He understood what was going on. This grey robed old man in front of him, he had never seen him before, had no enmity and also no grievance, but he suddenly intercepted him in this bamboo forest, obviously was incited by other people. After reincarnating, Ye Chuan had many enemies, no matter whether it was Black Cauldron Sect or Five Style Sect, there were many people that wanted to kill him. Five Style Sect was skilled in Style Technique and assassination. They would try to one shot their opponent, and they would never meet enemy head-on. This was not the style of Five Style Sect. Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong liked to openly crush the opponent, but, he had just beaten Hong Lie and his group, and if Tuoba Xiong really wanted to attack, then he wouldn¡¯t have waited until now. So Third Elder Bai Yanhu was the most suspicious person. ¡°Yes, Bai Yanhu asked me to come, youngster has a good eyesight.¡± Grey robed old man continued to walk forward, and to the surprise of Ye Chuan, he admitted it. The heart of Ye Chuan which had just calmed down suddenly started to beat violently once again and his eyelid also twitched violently. The grey robed old man unexpectedly admitted it, what did this mean? That means the other party held 100 % certainty! Was there any need to conceal from a dead person? ¡°Do you truly have to do this?¡± Ye Chuan asked again. Grey robed old man nodded his head and took a step forward, leaving only the distance of 9 meters between them, ¡°I have to.¡± ¡°Is there any way we can resolve this without killing?¡± Ye Chuan asked, beginning to speed up the circulation of two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and the spear in his right hand also made droning sound with the spear tip glimmering with pallid light. ¡°No!¡± The gray robed old man took a step again. His complexion was calm, and his body didn¡¯t emit any killing intent too. Moreover, Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t feel any pressure from this old man, but the feeling of danger kept on rising. Every step he took gave him twice as much danger feeling! Ye Chuan took a deep breath and forcibly calmed down again. The energy fluctuation within his body steadily climbed to his peak state, preparing a fatal attack, ¡°Final question, who are you?¡± ¡°Yu Han, Rainwater (Yushui)¡¯s Rain (Yu), Cold Climate (Hanleng)¡¯s Cold (Han). A very long time ago, some people called me Rain Demon.¡± The grey robed old man stopped and no longer advanced forward, then looking up towards the sky, he spread open his hands and let rainwater land on his body. After that, he stuck out his tongue and licked the rainwater fallen from the heaven, then nodding his head, he said: ¡°Well, the taste of this rain is very good. Was it Ye Chuan? You taste it too, it¡¯s cold and sweet. Unfortunately, this rain is still too small.¡± The pupils of Ye Chuan suddenly shrunk. The spread out hands of the grey robed old man suddenly closed up, catching a drop of the raindrops falling from the heaven. Then this raindrop lengthened in the center of his palm, becoming half the length of his finger. Then with a sudden appearance of pallid light, it changed into a sharp blade, and in the next moment, it whistled towards Ye Chuan. The nearer this blade got, the sharper ear piercing sound he heard. The lower part of Ye Chuan¡¯s body stood motionless, his two legs were as if wooden pegs nailed securely on the damp ground, but the upper part of his body suddenly bent backward, practically becoming parallel with the ground. Swish! The sharp blade whistled past the tip of the nose of Ye Chuan, cutting off the raindrops falling from the heaven along its path, giving rise to a water bloom. Although the movements of this gray robed old man appeared sluggish, but everything had completed in a blink of an eye. From seeing this action of this grey robed old man and dodging his attack, all were completely from the physical instinct of Ye Chuan! Under the rain, Ye Chuan was thoroughly drenched, not only because of the raindrops falling from the heaven but also because of the great amount of sweat he was shedding. After his reincarnation, Ye Chuan had squarely faced the interrogation of sect¡¯s elders, squarely faced the pressure of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong, and also had subdued Flame Devil and horned demon Na Gusi, these Great Devils, but he had never been as tense and in danger as this moment. This gray robed old man Yu Han appeared to have one foot in the grave, but his cultivation nevertheless was heaven defying. Although he had yet to breakthrough to Sage realm, but within Cloud Mist Mountain Range, he might already be an invincible existence. Even Flame Devil and horned demon Na Gusi together were inferior to him! The Evil Cow King, Ye Chuan was riding, suddenly turned around and ran wildly in the rain. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t summon the legion of Evil Cows, because even though thousands of them bombarding together could withstand the opponent of Xiushi realm with difficulty, but it was just a wishful thinking and purely courting disaster if he wanted to stop the grey robed old man, this kind of heaven defying expert. Flee! Running to Cloud Mist Sect as fast as possible was the only way left! Ye Chaun didn¡¯t even hesitate for even a bit, turning around, he immediately fled. Making a killing blade out of raindrop, Ye Chuan also had this kind of means, but that was only when he could conceal the heaven with his hand in his previous life. Now, he was trivial Rank 1 Xiushi realm expert, so if he stayed here, then he would definitely die, therefore, he didn¡¯t have the slightest hesitation to flee! Chapter 111: Rain Demon’s Might Chapter 111: Rain Demon¡¯s Might Evil Cow King madly ran, carrying Ye Chuan, it dashed straight, faster and faster. But Ye Chuan¡¯s sense of danger not only didn¡¯t disappear instead got stronger and stronger. Grey robed Yu Han was chasing after him, and he lightly pressed his hands in passing and another raindrop changed into a sharp blade again. Kacha, kacha sounds suddenly resounded in the thick fog. Behind Ye Chuan, the bamboo trees in a straight line uniformly collapsed, and a strong wind blew straight to the center of Ye Chuan¡¯s back. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t turn his head, but his body suddenly toppled over, and hung in the stomach of running wildly Evil Cow King. In the middle of the thick fog, a pallid light suddenly appeared, and a sharp blade scraped past the back of Evil Cow King, giving rise to a bloody rain. The skin of Evil Cow King was course and its flesh was thick, so even if it stood motionless, an average person holding a sharp knife couldn¡¯t even be able to leave a scar in its skin. But the slight scraping of the sharp blade made from the raindrop by this grey robed Yu Han caused such bloody rain, this shows his capability! ¡°Straight to the west, go towards Cloud Mist Sect!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly jumped off, then he instructed Evil Cow King to go and notify Cloud Mist Sect. This tamed bloody Evil Cow King had his aura. An average person wouldn¡¯t be able to notice it, but Flame Devil who was taking care of Purple Cloud Peak, fatty Zhao Dazhi, Zhu Sijia and others would definitely notice it. Once the experts of Cloud Mist Sect came to help, this grey robed Yu Han, even if he was ferocious, he would have no choice but to retreat, after all, this place was the territory of Cloud Mist Sect, and this grey robed Yu Han, although powerful, was only a single person. Roar! Evil Cow King¡¯s roar of grief resounded in the thick fog, but its footsteps were rolling as if thunder. Even though it was furious and unwilling, it continued to run wildly. Different from common Evil Eyed Cow Demon, this Evil Cow King had already started to have wisdom. It immediately understood the intention of Ye Chuan and also knew that turning around and coming to rescue Ye Chuan was merely courting death. ¡°Youngster, you want to let that cow go and inform the sect?¡± The grey robed Yu Han appeared. He was expressionless and did nothing to intercept running wildly Evil Cow King, letting it leave and said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s useless, this place is 50 li away from Cloud Mist Sect, and a round trip is 100 li. So, even if that cow is faster, when the experts of Cloud Mist Sect arrive here, they will only find your corpse.¡± The grey robed Yu Han was incomparably confident. Beheading a trivial Rank 1 Xiushi realm youngster was naturally a piece of cake for him. Before, assassin Rain Demon was widely known in Da Qin Dynasty, was the nightmare of countless people. But as early as several hundred years ago, he retired and wholeheartedly cultivated quietly ignoring the affairs of the world in Sealing Sword Poison. Assassinating a trivial Xiushi, it was basically not necessary for him to personally raise his hand for this kind of mission, moreover he had already washed his hand in a golden basin, but he had no choice, he once owed a favor to Third Elder Bai Yanhu of Cloud Mist Sect, and after receiving the message of golden eagle, he was forced to break the rule. 400 years ago or 370 years ago? Yu Han was somewhat surprised, he had already forgotten when he had last killed a person, even to the extent that he had forgotten how old he was this year. All he knew was his days were numbered, and his life was about to come to an end. A super assassin who walked unhindered without rival in the continent, personally killed each and every enemy, and chased and killed every powerful target, finally was helplessly looking at his natural death. This was life! But Yu Han was unwilling, he wanted to fulfill the task of killing Ye Chuan quickly, then return to the Sealing Sword Poison to cultivate quietly, hoping to make a breakthrough within his little remaining time. From Rank 6 Daoist Master realm to Rank 7 Daoist Master realm, was the gap of small rank, but once they breakthrough, they would transform. Taking this one step, he would become Da Qin Dynasty¡¯s first ever assassin to reach peak Daoist Master realm, and his lifespan would also increase vastly. He might be able to live several hundred years or even several thousand years! ¡°You have at most only half an incense time, start working!¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at grey robed Yu Han, and quickly settling down his breathing, he became calm. After that, a fine and continuous water mists rose from under his foot, and fused together with indistinct and thick fog of bamboo forest. The face of Yu Han suddenly become solemn, and without demur, he rushed towards Ye Chuan, and grabbing the raindrop which changed into sharp blades in his hand, he threw it towards Ye Chuan. The calmness and composure of Ye Chuan made Yu Han feel a little bit of unease for the first time. When Ye Chuan was crushing Hong Lie and others, he was watching from far away. At that time, although Ye Chuan was stunning and was more powerful than average Xiushi, but he was still confident and after following him to bamboo forest, he made a move. But now, his confident began to shake slightly. Who could be so calm after hearing his name and witnessing his might? As a first-rate assassin, Yu Han had seen countless experts. And only that kind of heaven-defying existence whom he could never even dream of defeating would have the expression which Ye Chuan was having at this moment. Not only Ye Chuan didn¡¯t flee in panic, instead, he indifferent said that he (Yu Han) had at most only half an incense time left, where did this calm and composure coming from? Swish, swish, a wind breaking sound resounded again. The bamboo trees between the two people fell. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dodge this time, simply used the Blood Spear, meeting the whistling sharp blade by the spear tip. Drip, as if a drop of water falling on the sharp rock, the sharp blade disintegrated and splattered. The whistling sharp blade quickly dispersed and changed into a water splash, but the Blood Spear of Ye Chuan suddenly bent, and issued a cracking sound as if it was about to snap, and couldn¡¯t help but try flying away. A very small drop of the raindrops, used by assassin Yu Han was even heavier than 10,000 jin bronze cauldron. The power was terrifying! The instant when the spear stabbed, Ye Chuan had circulated two Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body and the strength of 36,000 jin had erupted suddenly. But his body was still shaken! ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Assassin Yu Han exclaimed in surprise, and his face had surprised, shocked and solemn expression. A very small raindrop was only able to shake Ye Chuan, even Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong might not have this capability, but it was still far from being enough to deal with assassin Yu Han. Assassin Yu Han had thought that this raindrop would shatter the spear in the hand of Ye Chuan, then penetrate his chest, taking his life. But the result was far from what he wanted and also beyond his expectation. Ye Chuan was indeed only Rank 1 Xiushi but when he showed all his strength, even Rank 3 Xiushi realm elite cultivators would feel ashamed of their inferiority! ¡°Come again!¡± Assassin Yu Han quickly moved, and both hand suddenly grabbed. This time, it was three sharp blades. They whistled towards Ye Chuan¡¯s heart, throat and space between eyebrows.This attack was three times more powerful than before! One attack failed, and assassin Yu Han began to launch full power attack, wanting to end this battle quickly. Ye Chuan truly hadn¡¯t spoken wrongly, he only had at most half an incense time. If he couldn¡¯t kill Ye Chuan within that timeframe, then the experts of Cloud Mist Sect would arrive, and that would be troublesome. Unlike average person, with regarding Cloud Mist Sect, this ancient sect, assassin Yu Han possessed a deep revere, and absolutely didn¡¯t want to easily cross the boundaries of propriety with it. It was this kind of cautiousness and sincere revering heart, he was able to stand out among the contemporary first-rate assassins and was alive until now. In fact, he was very unwilling to take this mission, as whatever one says Ye Chuan after all was Big Disciple of grand Cloud Mist Sect. But due to the promise of that time, he was forced to reluctantly do this mission. Chapter 112: Dark Raven Demon King Chapter 112: Dark Raven Demon King Ye Chuan was barely able to cope with a sharp blade made from a water drop, and now with three sharp blades whistling towards him, Ye Chuan could only retreat. He retreated repeatedly changing the sides while brandishing the spear in his hand. And after three loud and clear sound resounded, Ye Chuan was sent flying, colliding against many bamboo trees. After that, gritting his teeth, he struggled to stand up, but both of his hands trembled and his blood dripped to the ground. The Blood Spear of Five Style Sect¡¯s Elder Tu, Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t discovered whether it had other power or not, but the material used however was indeed tough and tensile enough. Even after it was bent to 180 degrees, the spear didn¡¯t break, successfully blocking the vicious and dangerous three sharp blades. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Assassin Yu Han exclaimed in surprise once again. It would appear that the cultivation of Ye Chuan was not up to much, but seeing the strength showed in the battle, it was impossible to believe that he was only a Rank 1 Xiushi realm cultivator. Surprised was surprised, assassin Yu Han didn¡¯t stop for the rest, he unceasingly leaped and attacked. After a ferocious shout, five sharp blades whistled out, and in the sky of bamboo forest, suddenly an ear piercing sound resounded along with monstrous killing intent. The raindrops falling from the sky was the best weapon for Yu Han, Several hundreds of years ago, before he washed his hands in the golden basin, he would especially choose the rainy day to launch an attack to assassinate the target. The bigger the rain, the stronger his combat power, and especially the heavy raining night, it was the best opportunity to assassinate. Many experts who had higher cultivation level than him had died in such heavy raining night under his hand. For this reason, he won the title of Rain Demon, making countless high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants and even the experts of the sects of the world have their heart in their mouth whenever it rained at night. The pupil of Ye Chuan shrunk and he retreated, but the speed of five raindrops which had changed into sharp blades was even faster, and they became bigger and bigger in his pupils. Quickly retreating Ye Chuan suddenly swayed his body like willow catkins and the first sharp blade brushed past him. Immediately after that, Ye Chuan suddenly raised the spear in his hand, and with ding ding two sounds, this spear trembled and was bent, blocking the two sharp blades. But the fourth sharp blade penetrated through the left shoulder of Ye Chuan and with the surplus power, it cut off a row of bamboo trees. And as for the fifth and final sharp blade, it was the slowest to arrive but the power was most ferocious of all sharp blades! Ye Chuan was already unable to stop the fourth sharp blade, how would he block this even more ferocious fifth sharp blade? Assassin Yu Han¡¯s extremely thin lips were slightly raised, sneering at Ye Chuan. In his assassin career, he had met many experts and genius, and some were even more stunning than Ye Chuan, they were able to dodge all of his four sharp blades attack in succession even though they had yet to breakthrough to Xiushi realm, but in the end, all of them without exception fell under his fifth sharp blade. The first four sharp blades, all were to deplete opponent¡¯s strength and seal the death angle, nothing more, and the fifth sharp blade was the real killing move, which contained assassin Yu Han¡¯s lifetime¡¯s cultivation. With his power, sending out five blades at the same time was also his limit. Ye Chuan whose left shoulder was dripping with blood was sent flying and the moment he collapsed, he saw the fifth sharp blade was already close at hand, but he wasn¡¯t panic-stricken, rather was even calmer, and he raised his finger. Want to use a finger to block, was this helplessness or ignorant? Assassin Yu Han sneered, the matter is finalized, Ye Chuan is dead. Whoosh! Suddenly a violent gust of wind appeared for no reason in the bamboo forest, stirring up the thick fog. In this stirred up thick fog, suddenly a huge finger appeared, and with dense demonic aura, the fingertip happened to collide with the fifth sharp blade. Ding sound resounded, this sharp blade that contained assassin Yu Han¡¯s lifetime cultivation disintegrated into water bloom and fell to the ground, then the huge finger also disappeared. Illusory Demonic Finger! In the life and death crisis, Ye Chuan insanely circulated two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and used the peerless technique, Illusory Demonic Finger, which he had seized from Ghost King in his previous lifetime, destroying the dangerous and vicious fatal blow of assassin Yu Han. In an instant, the face of Ye Chuan became deathly pale. He had nearly exhausted all of his vitality, and now even moving a finger was difficult. Ye Chuan collapsed to the ground and was no longer able to move. And as for assassin Yu Han, he was also motionless, stupefied, and had inconceivable expression. With this final attack, he had already considered that this would finalize the matter and Ye Chuan would surely die. But he had never expected that, Ye Chuan unexpectedly had such move to destroy his final attack! ¡°No, impossible! It¡¯s impossible for you to be only Rank 1 Xiushi, and it¡¯s also impossible for you to be the ordinary disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, speak, who the hell are you? That evil technique of just now, who teach you?¡± Assassin Yu Han came back to his senses, then with shock and solemn expression, he walked towards Ye Chaun step by step. Although he dealt with that final attack, but Ye Chuan had also exhausted his vitality, and his bloody body no longer had any fighting power. But seeing this, assassin Yu Han wasn¡¯t excited at all, instead was utterly shocked. Looking at Ye Chuan on the ground, he was incomparably shocked and puzzled in his heart. Even Daoist Master realm experts might not necessarily be able to deal with his fifth sharp blade, but how did Ye Chuan accomplish it? That huge finger that had suddenly appeared just now, what was that? The confusion in the heart of assassin Yu Han surpassed his pursuit to complete the mission. This was very unusual, he must interrogate him to understand it. He indistinctly felt that this was an opportunity, opportunity concerning whether he would be able to breakthrough to Rank 7 Daoist Master realm or not. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for several hundreds of years! The intuition of expert was often very sharp, especially when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity appeared. Yu Han believed in his intuition. ¡°Your Excellency Yu Han, I am naturally not an ordinary disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, rather the sect¡¯s Big Disciple, is Sect Master¡¯s only disciple, you know now?¡± Ye Chuan was lying on the ground, was bloody and he could no longer circulate the two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body as they also had suffered unprecedented severe injury, but confronting assassin Yu Han¡¯s interrogation, he wasn¡¯t alarmed and also didn¡¯t begged for mercy, instead smiled. He didn¡¯t fear the torture of assassin Yu Han, merely feared that the other party was through and through cold-blooded and ruthless, and kill him without uttering a single word. As long as the other party was emotionally affected and was confused, then there was a chance! Ye Chuan laid motionless, but his mind however was operating at lightning speed thinking a way to survive as if electricity. ¡°Don¡¯t think about playing small tricks and don¡¯t have a wishful thinking of stalling, they are useless, there is no one in this world that can save you, even if your Master personally come here, it¡¯s also useless. After returning to Sealing Sword Poison, if I want you to speak, then you will speak, but not speaking is also not a problem!¡± Assassin Yu Han coldly smiled and seeing through the thoughts of Ye Chuan, he spoke while rushing over, then he reached out his hand towards Ye Chuan to grab and take him away. But before his fingertip touched the clothing of Ye Chuan, his body suddenly stiffened and he stood motionless, as a gust of ill wind sweep past in front of him. In the ill wind, there was a pitch black silver needle, clearly was coated with deadly poison, nearly poisoning him. ¡°Who?¡± Assassin Yu Han suddenly turned around and looked all around. ¡°Gagaga, just a bit, just a bit, it¡¯s too bad¡­¡­¡± From the dense fog, a cold hoarse voice suddenly came through, but the exact source of the voice was unknown. After the heartily laugh, faintly sighing voice came, ¡°Ai, I have not come out for several hundred years, and just arrived here once again but the people of Fire Continent doesn¡¯t even know me, and even Dark Raven Needle is already forgotten? What a failure, what a failure, gagaga¡­¡­¡± Black Ravine Needle? Assassin Yu Han muttered to himself, and calming himself, he looked at that completely black silver needle on the ground, from where thin black qi that had foul smell was rising.He immediately fell few steps back, then a terrifying Great Devil suddenly appeared in his memory, ¡°Dark Raven Demon King, you¡­¡­, you are Dark Fire Continent¡¯s great leader of Demonic Cultivators, Black Ravine Demon King? [Note: Don¡¯t know why author changed Dark Moon Continent into Dark Fire Continent, and in next few chapters, it is also written as Dark Fire Continent, so I will be using Dark Fire Continent from now on. If you don¡¯t remember, Dark Fire Continent is the continent of Demonic Cultivators, and Heavenly Fire Continent is the continent of righteous cultivators.] Assassin Yu Han was startled, this was no small matter, and he suddenly got tense. Hundreds of years ago, when he was sweeping over Heavenly Fire Continent, and assassinating many strong people, he had never dared to set foot on Dark Fire Continent. Not for anything else, but because of the demon king of Dark Fire Continent, Dark Raven Demon King. But after quietly cultivating in Sealing Sword Poison for several hundred years, he broke the rule and went down the mountain, but outside his expectation, this demon had still not died and had returned to Cloud Mist Mountain Range! Chapter 113: Accept me as a disciple Chapter 113: Accept me as a disciple Another great expert? Ye Chuan felt bitter in his heart, he was already having a hard time to deal with one super assassin Yu Han and then comes a similarly powerful another great Devil, how should he deal with this situation? Ye Chuan who was dripping with blood suddenly felt danger to the extreme. ¡°Noble son Ye, it¡¯s me.¡± A hoarse voice suddenly resounded in the mind of Ye Chuan. Horned demon Na Gusi, is it him? Ye Chuan was startled in his heart, immediately afterward, he was excited. The reinforcement he was waiting for a long time has finally arrived, merely he had never expected that, before the experts of the sects had arrived, horned demon Na Gusi who was cultivating in the behind mountain arrived here first! The cultivation of Na Gusi was pretty good, but his opponent was assassin Yu Han, could he handle him? After a brief moment of pleasant surprise, Ye Chuan frowned. Assassin Yu Han that came from Sealing Sword Poison, not only his cultivation was amazing, his cultivation technique was also unique. And the rainy day had further strengthen him. Now, he had already suffered heavy injuries, and only relying on horned demon Na Gusi alone, he feared it wouldn¡¯t be enough to withstand the deadly strikes of assassin Yu Han. His fame of being a first-rate assassin in former days was absolutely not an undeserved reputation. ¡°Dark Raven, hundreds of years have passed, you are still not dead?¡± Assassin Yu Han scanned all around and his gaze glimmered. Carefully thinking for a bit, he had a suspicion. Dark Raven Demon King, when he was in his prime, had rarely set foot on Heavenly Fire Continent. Legend stated that he once had a battle against a heaven-defying expert of Heavenly Fire Continent, and after losing, he pledged to never set foot on Heavenly Fire Content throughout his life again. But after hundreds of years later, this old demon not only didn¡¯t die but also suddenly appeared here, unavoidably was somewhat fishy. ¡°Gagaga, the world is so big, this dazzling human world with its myriad temptation is so beautiful, I want to take a stroll everywhere. Besides, you are still not dead, how can I die? What, could it be that you want to taste my Dark Raven Needle again, gagaga¡­¡­¡± The sinister laughing voice transmitted from all around, and in the thick fog, a tall and thin figure gradually appeared. His eyes were dim as if two will-o¡¯-the wisp, cheekbones were very high and his face didn¡¯t have much flesh, strikingly like a skinny skeleton. Moreover, his simile was uglier than crying, revealing the two rows of white teeth. The complexion of assassin Yu Han changed, after seeing the figure that indistinctly appeared in the middle of the thick fog, he no longer doubted and his complexion became gloomy. Several hundreds of years ago, he had a brief encounter with Dark Raven Demon King. When he had just set foot on Dark Fire Continent for the first time, he happened to encounter Dark Raven Demon King who could summon wind and rain in Dark fire Continent. Just after they meet, both of them began to show various kinds of techniques, and the result was, assassin Rain Demon¡¯s always successful sharp blades of water drops were pierced through for the first time by the Dark Raven Needle of Dark Raven Demon King, and was scratched on his earlobe by that Dark Raven Needle being caught off guard. So, in order to prevent the poison from being spread, he had no choice but to personally cut off his right earlobe and flee in defeat. Since then, assassin Yu Han never set foot on Dark Fire Continent and also never encounter another weapon that could pierce through his raindrop sharp blades. Dark Raven Demon King¡¯s deadly attack of Dark Raven Needle left an inerasable shadow in his heart, so even if this demon morphed into ash, he would recognize him. Continue to seize Ye Chuan and kill him after interrogation to complete the mission, or¡­¡­ Assassin Yu Han who was always decisive hesitated. Ye Chuan was already injured, he could seize or kill him without any difficulty, but if when he was taking action, Black Raven Demon King suddenly attacked from one side, then¡­¡­ Assassin Yu Han wasn¡¯t able to understand the purpose of Black Raven Demon King, and in this moment of unable to make up his mind, he didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. ¡°Kill, kill him, why aren¡¯t you attacking? The talent of this disciple is too poor, even after teaching him so much, he is still no good, I don¡¯t want him. Help me kill him, gagaga!¡± A gloomy sound continued to come through the thick fog, and this hoarse and gloomy voice was even more unpleasant to hear than the voice of nightjar. Moreover, he didn¡¯t raise his hand to save him, instead continuously urged assassin Yu Han to attack, ¡°I have 3,000 disciples, not too many, not too few, kill, kill him. Didn¡¯t you say, no one in this world can save this boy, so just kill him, gagaga¡­¡­¡± The sinister laughter drifted from place to place, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, and listening carefully, it again felt like the voice was coming from under the ground. The complexion of assassin Yu Han changed again, then his gaze looking at Ye Chuan glimmered with an ominous glint, then grabbing in the void with his hands, a raindrop changed into a sharp blade, but, he didn¡¯t dare to attack. Good boy, no wonder he had strange move that was actually able to destroy his fatal move, moreover, that move had dense demonic aura. As it turned out, on the surface, he was Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, but actually had sought the refuge with Dark Raven Demon King! Assassin Yu Han was suddenly in an awkward situation. On one side, there was severely injured Ye Chuan whom he had to kill, and on the other side, there nevertheless was a peerless great demon who was ready to make trouble, what should he do? ¡°Humph, boy, you have good luck!¡± Assassin Yu Han coldly snorted and suddenly turning around, he walked away. After repeatedly thinking over, he decided to give up the operation. After knowing Ye Chuan was the disciple of Dark Raven Demon King, he was sure that he will not be able to interrogate or capture Ye Chuan. If he forcibly attacked, then Ye Chuan would definitely die, but he himself would also be in extreme danger. He didn¡¯t want to lose another earlobe again. ¡°Gagaga, you are sensible, daring to make a move against my disciple, truly is, the more you live the more confused and tired of living you are, gagaga¡­¡­¡± The sinister laughter was transmitted to far away by the wind. The complexion of Yu Han who had already left the bamboo forest become cold, he angrily looked back and accelerated his speed to leave, while endlessly cursing Third Elder Bai Yanhu in his heart. Ye Chuan secretly seeking refuge with Dark Raven Demon King and becoming his disciple, assassin Yu Han didn¡¯t know, and without such a vital intelligence, how could he accomplish his mission? What kind of elder was he, were all of his many eyes and ears blind and deaf? Since the intelligence was critically wrong, assassin Yu Han decisively gave up the mission. Inside the bamboo forest, a shadow followed assassin Yu Han with his eyes until far away, then quickly come over to Ye Chuan. After that, with cracking sound he instantly changed into three meters tall sturdy man from a tall and thin skeleton, then bending down, he said: ¡°Noble son Ye, I was late, how are your injuries?¡± Horned demon Na Gusi cultivating in the mountain behind was the first one to sense the danger of Ye Chuan from Evil Cow King, then following the weak aura, he rushed over to help at the top speed. After that, witnessing assassin Yu Han¡¯s power, he knew that he was not his opponent, and with his quick wits. He used Nine Transformation Demonic Technique to disguise as Dark Fire Continent¡¯s great leader of demonic cultivators, Dark Raven Demon King, successfully forcing Yu Han, this super assassin to retreat. As an outstanding figure among horned demons, Na Gusi had status to some extent in Dark Fire Continent, and had the chance to meet the aloof and remote Demon Raven Demon King. And years ago, he once heard latter personally talking about the past events including the battle between him and assassin Yu Han several hundred years ago, moreover, he had quietly taken one of Dark Raven Demon King¡¯s unique killing weapon Dark Raven Needles. The careless act of those years suddenly came in handy today. ¡°I¡¯m fine, after resting for a period of time, I will be good.¡± Ye Chuan took a deep breath, and gradually had his perception back. ¡°Noble son Ye, you are too amazing, just Rank 1 Xiushi and you were actually able to stay alive from the hand of assassin Yu Han, moreover, neutralized the final attack of Rain Demon, please accept me as your disciple!¡± Horned demon Na Gusi suddenly knelt down and prostrated himself in worship. In front of assassin Yu Han, disguising as Dark Raven Demon King, he claimed himself as Ye Chuan¡¯s master, scaring the super assassin to retreat. But immediately after the other party left, he conversely asked Ye Chuan to accept him as a disciple. When he arrived here from the Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s mountain behind, he happened to see the scene of Ye Chuan using Illusory Demonic Finger to neutralize the final attack of the assassin Yu Han, and his heart trembled at that time. He was learning Nine Transformation Demonic Technique but he also couldn¡¯t let Illusory Demonic Finger slip by, as, if he learned it, then with his cultivation of Rank 5 Daoist Master realm, how ferocious that attack would be if he used it? Horned Demon Na Gusi eagerly struck while the iron was still hot, never caring the slightest bit of his cultivation and status. ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡± Seeing the shameless of Na Gusi, Ye Chuan was speechless. What time was this, assassin Rain Demon might return to kill at any time, but not leaving hastily, he wanted him to accept him as his disciple, who would act like this? This person isn¡¯t a great devil, rather was a martial fanatic! Ye Chuan shook his head, this horned demon was sufficiently thick-skinned, but, he liked it. Once people had greed, then it was easy to pursue and control them better. A man that prides himself as being without any selfishness and desire was truly terrible! Chapter 114: I want to kill him Chapter 114: I want to kill him Horned Demon Na Gusi knelt on the ground for a long time, earnestly looking at Ye Chuan. After tasting the might of Nine Transformation Demonic Technique, now he was in no hurry to leave and was thinking of a way to stay beside Ye Chuan. This time he had taken a risk to come out from Dark Fire Continent, because he wanted to rove all over the world looking for the opportunity. He wanted to see whether he could find any worldly treasure or ancient technique which could help him make a breakthrough. He was unable to find the legendary Paradise Realm of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and also didn¡¯t know whether it really existed or not, but Ye Chuan had truly given him a great benefit. In future, returning to Dark Fire Continent after he attained the highest degree of perfection in the cultivation of Nine Transformation Demonic Technique, he would be a well-deserved foremost person among the horned demons, and could even challenge aloof and remote great leader of Demonic Cultivators, Dark Raven Demon King, competing for the world. For horned demon Na Gusi, Ye Chuan was the opportunity he was strenuously looking for. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak and pondered silently. Horned demon Na Gusi was pretty good, and he could be cultivated vigorously, but, if he wanted to become he, Ye Chuan¡¯s disciple, then he was still lacking a bit. In his previous lifetime, there were millions of people who wanted to become he, Ye Chuan¡¯s disciple, and there was no lack of Sage realm geniuses among them, but only very few of them were able to become his follower. Followers and disciples were different, he needed to be very careful and again careful to take even one disciple. The hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the bamboo forest. Someone was coming, moreover, was an expert! Horned Demon Na Gusi suddenly stood up and his complexion became solemn and he became alert. Separated by a thick fog, his keen senses perceived a powerful energy fluctuation outside the bamboo forest. The cultivation of this person was comparable or even better than his own. Came so fast, could it be that assassin Yu Han saw through his scheme and came back to complete his tack? Na Gusi got nervous, but didn¡¯t panic, and firmly guarded in front of Ye Chuan. He knew that he was not the opponent of assassin Yu Han, and confronting him head-on was definitely disadvantageous. But, this time, it was impossible for him to abandon Ye Chuan and flee to save himself, so even after he knew perfectly that he wasn¡¯t the opponent, he prepared to fight recklessly. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, he is some on our own side.¡± After looking at horned demon Na Gusi, Ye Chuan raised his head and uttered a long, loud cry. Outside the bamboo forest, this long, loud cry echoed, and immediately after that, with a wind-breaking sound, a middle-aged man with purplish red colored bread flew into the thick fog and rushed over. And seeing Ye Chuan sitting cross-legged on the ground, he bowed in respect and warily looking at three meters tall horned demon Na Gusi, he said: ¡°Noble son, this old slave came late, are you alright?¡± Flame Devil who had stayed behind to take care of Purple Cloud Peak finally arrived. Calculating the time, from the time Evil Cow King had left to inform until now, nearly half an incense time happened to have passed. ¡°I¡¯m fine, let me introduce you two, this is Flame Devil Yi Yangzi, this is Horned Demon Na Gusi.¡± Ye Chuan introduced briefly. Flame Devil Yi Yangzi and Horned Demon Na Gusi looked at each other and nodded slightly, no longer vigilant, but there was an indistinct fighting intent, and both of them refused to obey each other. Roar! Outside bamboo forest, a deep and powerful roar come along with thunder like rolling sounds of footsteps. Then, even more messy footsteps came. Ye Chuan raised his head, sensing the familiar aura. After the arrival of Flame Devil Yi Yangzi, fatty Zhao Dazi, Zhu Sijia and others arrived. And the person in the fort was the short old man Nangong Ren carrying a medicinal hoe on his shoulder. But, when they arrived at the bamboo forest, a figure ran past this small old man. Evil Cow King who had returned to notify had suddenly accelerated and run over the side of Ye Chuan. ¡°Very good, who said Evil Eyed Cow Demon is stubborn but most useless yao beast?¡± Ye Chuan reached out his hand and intimately caressed the Evil Cow King that had rushed over to his side. Compared to horned demon Na Gusi and other followers, he had more thrust in Evil Cow King and other yao beasts whom he had personally tamed. In the previous lifetime, his followers were fierce, but what about that? Furthermore, a loyal follower might betray you and not betraying also might not means enough loyalty, rather the temptation wasn¡¯t enough, but the yao beasts he had tamed personally would absolutely never betray him. In God Burial Valley, inside a nameless tomb, he had found Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique. This technique made Ye Chuan enter a new cultivation world, and he also had new grand prospect and expectation. ¡°Big senior apprentice-brother!¡± ¡°Are you alright, Big senior apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. Fatty Zhao Dazhi, Zhu Sijia and others also rushed in and only after seeing Ye Chuan was only injured but alive, they finally sighed in relief. When Evil Cow King dashed towards Cloud Mist Sect to notify, the entire group of people was badly scared. But although they had never seen this Evil Cow King, fatty, Zhu Sijia and others quickly recognize the familiar aura on its body, which was the inerasable aura of Ye Chuan engraved in the mind of Evil Cow King. And seeing this Evil Cow King was pacing up and down in the state of agitation and was biting the sleeve of everyone, looking as if it wanted to lead to somewhere, they immediately understand what was going on, and they restlessly followed after it. ¡°Humph, now I will see if you will dare to go to the mountain behind alone to temper yourself.¡± Zhu Sijia angrily said, but, she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, on one side she spoke and on the other side, she took out medicine and began dressing up the wounds of Ye Chuan. And seeing the wound on the left shoulder of Ye Chuan, she was startled, angry and also felt anguished, ¡°What thing left this wound? Crossbow arrow, or¡­¡­¡± ¡°Nothing, a simple injury that¡¯s all, was stabbed and wounded by a pig.¡± Ye Chuan played it down, now there were many people on the scene, so it was not necessary to narrate in full detail. And seeing the worried Zhu Sijia, he slightly smiled and said, ¡°Junior apprentice-sister Jiajia, you are so good to me, this senior apprentice brother, regardless of anything, wherever you little hand touch me, the pain of that place would disappear, truly is strange.¡± ¡°Die.¡± Zhu Sijia raised her arched eyebrows and subconsciously hit the shoulder of Ye Chuan, then hastily rubbed him, greatly worrying she might have opened the wound of Ye Chuan with her face already becoming red at an unknown time. Fatty Zaho Dazhi secretly raised his thumb towards Ye Chuan, and winking his eyes, he told everyone to retreat quietly, leaving only Ye Chuan and Zhu Sijia in this bamboo forest shrouded by the thick fog. And after a good while, two people came out from the bamboo forest riding Evil Cow King, and with everybody escorting, they left leisurely. When the entire group of people returned to Cloud Mist Sect, in the White Tiger Hall, Third Elder Bai Yanhu nevertheless had gloomy complexion, and his trusted guard was restlessly kneeling beneath him. ¡°Failed? Yu Han, known as the Rain Demon, who killed all of his targets unexpectedly failed, how could that be?¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu was surprised and also angry, and his face twisted. Not being able to kill Ye Chuan continuously, was this his bad luck or the luck of Ye Chuan was too good? Receiving the information that assassin Rain Demon had failed, instantly, Third Elder Bai Yanhu found it hard to accept. ¡°Elder, letter¡­.., the letter says that Ye Chuan, that brat has secretly sought refuge with Dark Fire Continent¡¯s leader of Demonic Cultivator, Dark Raven Demon King, so¡­¡­¡± The trusted guard kneeling beneath said stammeringly, fearing that Third Elder Bai Yanhu would vent his anger on them. But before he finished speaking, Third Elder Bai Yanhu seized the letter from his hand and browse through it, then the complexion of this old man became heavier and heavier. ¡°Good, good, good, what a despicable and treacherous brat, he actually sought refuge with a Great Demon King, no wonder he suddenly became strange and did as he pleased. Heh heh, does he think that no-one can punish him and he can be absolutely lawless? Don¡¯t let me find the evidence, or else I will play you to death! Want to fight with me? You brat is still too inexperienced!¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu gnashed his teeth, and his face became ferocious like no before, and instantly, the trusted guard kneeling beneath was badly scared. Chapter 116: Eccentric people Chapter 116: Eccentric people Ye Chuan squatted down and observed carefully. These seven foreign loose cultivators were odd tempered, but they had truly brought a lot of things, which were placed closely packed on a large area. In a single glance, he saw strange medicinal herbs, heavy and hard deep-sea iron meteorites, millennium sea carnelians, and so on, wide verities of exquisite things. ¡°Noble son Ye, what is this?¡± Liu Hong picked up a glittering thing, its length was similar to the chopsticks, but the end part was sharp. It was a bit like crystal stone and also a bit like carnelian. A luster was circulating on its surface, which immediately attracted the eyes of Liu Hong. The majority of girls liked this kind of things, and although Liu Hong was a cultivator, but she was also no exception. ¡°This is¡­.., a section of a bone outgrowth on the back of Sea Lathe Fish, nothing more.¡± Ye Chuan took it and after taking a look, he quickly recognized it, then returning it to Liu Hong, he said indifferently, ¡°If you like it, you can buy it, some other day I will help you polish it into a hairpin. But, although this toy is rarely seen in the continent, but it is common in abroad, is not something valuable. Even after processing it, it can only become a good-looking common item, unable to become any treasure.¡± Ye Chuan was calm, and with a single glance, he identified what this thing was. He wasn¡¯t Alchemist Master and also wasn¡¯t Weapon Refining Master, but in his previous lifetime, when he could conceal heaven with his hand, he had mastered 3,000 techniques, he had touched upon all sides to some extent and his attainments on all of them were not swallow. Now, in this Cloud Mist Mountain Range, his knowledge was so broad and profound that if he called himself second, then no-one was qualified to be first. ¡°It¡¯s such a good-looking thing, but unexpectedly is only a fishbone.¡± Liu Hong muttered, and somewhat reluctantly placed it down. The surrounding people also looked at this thing with regret. Originally, all thought that this was a rare treasure, and someone was already prepared to buy it at a high price. Seven eccentric foreign loose cultivators still sat on their knees without any movement, only the eccentric person on the rightest side slightly raised his head. Immediately, Ye Chuan sensed ice-cold gaze staring at him, and as if he was being stared by a viper, his whole body felt uncomfortable. ¡°No, they are definitely not ordinary foreign loose cultivators, they are¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan secretly thought in his heart, and frowning, he secretly raised his guard, but on the surface, he pretended to not know anything at all. Fortunately, the eccentric person merely stared at him for a little while, then lowered his head again, and coldly stayed still. ¡°Noble son Ye, what about this pearl? Truly good-looking, what is this?¡± Liu Hong looked around the stall and picked up a dragon eye like pearl. Looking under the firelight, dark light flowed in this pearl, and a reflection appeared on its surface. Carefully looking, there was something else behind the reflection, and a vague outline that resembled a palace could be seen as if another world was sealed within this pearl, moreover, it emitted faint obscure energy fluctuation. A common girl who looked a bit beautiful, usually was only a big breast without the brain, nevertheless Liu Hong wasn¡¯t like this, she looked exquisite, lovely ****, but also was very keen. In this all kinds of items, she quickly found this beautiful yet odd pearl. The short leather skirt was truly too short to squat down, even with cloak concealing more than half, less than half of her elastic buttocks were still faintly visible, furthermore, she constantly reached out her hand to pull down this short leather skirt, drawing the gaze of people. And coupled with her soft and sweet voice, she made people standing behind and beside her to continuously swallow their saliva. They couldn¡¯t help but repeatedly look at her, like this they weren¡¯t able to concentrate the treasures displayed in the stall. ¡°This is¡­¡­, honestly speaking, Miss Liu, your long and slender legs are much better looking than this pearl.¡± Ye Chuan took a look at the shining white legs of Liu Hong. Since two of them were leaning together, their legs were also leaning when squatting, so he could clearly feel temperature and elasticity of her long and slender legs. And even he was somewhat unable to endure this. In his previous lifetime, what kind of women he had not seen, but at this moment, he had no choice but to sigh. Liu Hong, this woman obviously couldn¡¯t be counted as tall, but her legs were longer than most of the women, he truly wanted to know how long her legs were. ¡°Hateful, quickly say, what is this pearl?¡± Liu Hong rolled her eyes looking at Ye Chuan, but although her mouth appeared to be somewhat angry, but her eyes were watery with myriads of feelings. Then leaning even closer to Ye Chuan, she used a voice that could only be heard by Ye Chuan and herself to asked, ¡°Between me and your that little junior apprentice-sister called something Zhu Sijia, what do you think? Whose legs are longer and even better?¡± ¡°Same, both are same!¡± Ye Chuan smiled, facing the temptation of Liu Hong, he handled the situation with ease. Then looking at intentionally seducing Liu Hong, the corner of his mouth rose making an evil smile and said: ¡°As for what this pearl is, this is an eye, an eye of sea demon. Staring at it for a long time, your spirit will be in trance and even give rise to hallucination. Very long time ago, people commonly used it to make evil treasure.¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡­, why didn¡¯t you say it earlier?¡± Liu Hong was startled, and hastily threw that pearl. An eye, she had held it in her hand and touched as well as fondled it for such a long time, now she felt like vomiting to death. She angrily glared at Ye Chuan, suspecting whether he was intentional or not. ¡°Don¡¯t throw carelessly, it was not easy for these people to bring these things from far away abroad, if they broke then you have to compensate. Besides, although this thing is somewhat evil, but it, more or less, also contains natural spiritual qi, in any case, it could be counted as a treasure and could be exchanged with some tales of silvers.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, but there was something he didn¡¯t mention, if one stares at the eyes of sea demon for a long time, not only it will give rise to hallucination, it also had the effect of aphrodisiac, which could unconsciously arouse people. There were legends that, some people sailing on the sea surface would go crazy or jump into the sea for no reason, this was because they saw evil sea demon. Ye Chuan looked at Liu Hong, and sure enough, just after staring for a little while, this woman was emotionally confused and her thoughts were in a mess, moreover her eyes were somewhat blurred, appearing even sexier. If it was not for his warning and continued to let her stare at that pearl, then he didn¡¯t know what would have happened. Merely, it¡¯s too bad, although he had a good intention, but Liu Hong, this woman was still not appreciating his kindness. These foreign loose cultivators were truly abnormal, they had placed such evil item like an eye of sea demon in the stall just like that. Could it be that they weren¡¯t afraid of someone accidentally looking at it for a long time and having an accident? Or, were they deliberate? Ye Chuan looked at those seven eccentric people and felt they were more and more abnormal in his heart. At that time, he sensed strange ice-cold gaze sweeping over this place, then this gaze coldly stared at him from behind, and he felt indescribable hostility from that gaze. Ye Chuan sensed this but he didn¡¯t turn around immediately like ordinary people, rather he calmly picked up a smooth jade stone from the stall, then from the reflection of jade stone, he secretly observed. Behind, more and more people were gathering. After hearing the news, many people rushed over to look at the treasures brought by foreign loose cultivators. Although all put on a mask or a big bamboo hat, but with a single glance, one could see that most of them were disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect. Ye Chuan quickly discovered his target. A woman with big bamboo hat, standing in the dark corner far away from the crowd, was coldly staring at him. Although her facial features were indistinct, but she was tall, slim and also especially graceful. With a single glance, Ye Chuan determined that he didn¡¯t know this woman, and more strangely, the ground under the legs of this woman was reflecting light as if it was wet with water. Who is this person? Another first-rate assassin, or¡­¡­ Ye Chuan secretly circulated two Heaven Swallowing Talismans and became more cautious. The trip to the underground Ghost Market of this time, it seems it was more dangerous than his expectation. Chapter 117: I don’t want money Chapter 117: I don¡¯t want money After seeing a strange woman was staring at him for a while, he moved his gaze away, and merely after he turned towards Liu Hong to speak, Ye Chuan discovered that this mysterious woman had already disappeared and he could no longer find her.It seems she had hidden herself in dense darkness and also appeared as if she had left underground Ghost Market. ¡°Noble son Ye, look, what is this? Don¡¯t tell me that it is a fish bone again?¡± Liu Hong picked up another thing from the stall. At a glance, this was just a piece of smooth stone and was fist-sized, but was much heavier than common stone. It appeared to be a little piece, but was over hundred jin in weight. ¡°This is¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan took it and taking a closer look, he lightly rubbed his finger on its surface, then he said: ¡°This is a piece of Magnetic Jade. Very heavy, but is rather fragile. It can be used to store worldly spiritual qi, but if you want to refine it into treasure, then it is somewhat difficult. This is a rare item, if you are interested, then there is no harm to buy it and slowly play with it.¡± Ye Chuan returned the Magnetic Jade to Liu Hong, then he scanned through the superb collection of items in the stall, and was somewhat disappointed. These seven eccentric people had brought many things from abroad, but, there were no true treasures, and the greater part were only common goods abroad. But the disciples of three sects were scrambling for these things that were very infrequently seen and were in the bidding war. Ye Chuan nevertheless disdained all of the items as beneath contempt. But Liu Hong seemed to be interested, she didn¡¯t care whether she could to find a treasure or not, but she would continuously pick up strange things and asked Ye Chuan for their appraisal. And not listening to the advice of Ye Chuan, she used several first-rate pills to exchange a string of which appeared to be multicolored crystals but in fact was useless sea agate, then wearing it on her wrist, she fondled it admiringly, causing Ye Chuan to not know whether to laugh or cry. Women are women, even after knowing it is not a good thing, as long as it looks beautiful, it¡¯s fine. Ye Chuan no longer cared about Liu Hong, turning around, he carefully sized up the items of the stall, and he would often pick up some items for a closer look. He found a piece of Deep Sea Red Iron which was the best quality material to forge a huge cauldron, unfortunately, this small piece was not very useful; He found a chunk of Black Sea Agarwood Tree, it could be used for refining the Soul Calming Sandalwood, unfortunately, it was not old enough, also contains many impurities, wasn¡¯t an ancient Agarwood Tree, and the quality was too poor; Ye Chuan shook his head again and again, many things looked very good at first glance, but was not up to much under careful observation. As a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan had seen countless worldly treasures, so there were very few items that could enter his discerning eyes. The disciples of three sects that had rushed over after hearing the news exchanged many things, even Liu Hong exchanged several items, only he alone didn¡¯t fancy any of these items. Among the seven eccentric people, one eccentric person had his eyes open at an unknown time and slightly raising his head, he stared at Ye Chuan, and his cold gaze became sharper than the knife. Ye Chuan immediately sensed this gaze, then raising his head, his eyes locked on to the eyes of this strange person, instantly, an invisible power hit him in his face, confusing Ye Chuan. Then, the pupils of the other party as if an endless abyss was about to engulf Ye Chuan¡¯s soul and everything around him. Little guy! Still want to show off your slight skill before an expert? Ye Chuan coldly smiled, then suddenly circulating two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, his eyesight changed, and compared to this eccentric, his gaze became even colder and even deeper. Moreover, as if the legendary endless flowing time, worlds were emerging and collapsing inside his pupils, crushing through everything. Groan! The eccentric person let out a muffled groan. In the invisible contest, he didn¡¯t occupy any advantage. After that, his sharp gaze quickly calmed down, and was replaced by surprise, solemn as well as a little bit of inexplicable excitement. The six eccentric people beside him also sensed this and simultaneously raised their head, then reaching towards the swords hung on their waist, killing intent instantly soared. But one eccentric person suddenly raised his hand, signaling other six to calm down. Then looking at Ye Chuan wearing a cloak and bamboo hat on his head, he slowly took out a jade box from his bosom and giving it to Ye Chuan, he said: ¡°Noble son, you are dissatisfied with so many treasures in the stall, presumably you are a great master, how about taking a look at this?¡± The strange action of this eccentric person quickly alerted many disciples of three sects who were gathered in the front, and everyone uniformly looked over there. ¡°Okay!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, and ignoring the gazes of other people, he didn¡¯t refuse, but confidentially took the jade box from the eccentric person. He was also somewhat curious to see what was inside this jade box. ¡°Be careful of the sham!¡± Liu Hong nervously warned in a low voice. These Foreign Loose Cultivators didn¡¯t seem to be decent people, looked more like a group of evil cultivators. If by chance, the jade box was filled with deadly poison or some other abstruse mechanism, then Ye Chuan might be in trouble if he opened it. ¡°It¡¯s fine!¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said. On the surface, he appeared carefree, but secretly he circulated two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and an indistinct layer of dim light circulated around his fingertips, enveloping his skin, then he slowly opened the jade box in public. A ring appeared in front of everyone. At a first glance, this ring appeared to be bland, and was far from being as dazzling as that string of sea agates which was exchanged by Liu Hong, but the eyes of Ye Chuan however shone, and with a light movement of the alae of his nose, a wisp of unusually sweet smell infiltrated into his heart via nasal cavity. Buddha Bone Ring? Ye Chuan was still calm on the surface, but his heart was surging forward with great momentum. This seemingly bland ring unexpectedly had a pure Buddhism aura. Reaching out to touch it, a trace of warmness came through the finger, then a warm current appeared within his body, making him warm and comfortable. Moreover, there was an indistinct feeling as if he was about to ascend to the heaven and become immortal! This feeling, Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t unfamiliar. In his previous lifetime, when he was able to conceal heaven with his hand and dominated Wilderness World, a great devil had given him a similar ring as a tribute. It was made from the Buddhist relics of ancient Buddha. Even at that time, ancient Buddhism had long been disappeared, and every piece of Buddhism treasure was of astronomical value. After refining that ring, it could calm the soul, hundreds of evils couldn¡¯t invade and no need to mention about being able to subdue various kinds of evil demons and heretics, it could suppress heart demon. It was a priceless treasure for any cultivator! After looking for a long time, finally, a real treasure appeared! The spirit of Ye Chuan shook and quickly closing the lid, he came straight to the point, looking towards the eccentric person, ¡°I want this ring, say, how much?¡± ¡°Do you know what this is?¡± The eccentric person didn¡¯t say anything about price, and with an indifferent face as if he firmly believed that Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t afford, he coldly asked. ¡°Isn¡¯t this a Buddha Bone Ring?¡± Ye Chuan paused and said: ¡°Say, how much?¡± ¡°Buddha Bone Ring? What is that?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t have any trace of splendor, how can it be a real treasure?¡± The disciples of three sects discussed spiritedly, and shook their head inwardly. In the previous lifetime, when Ye Chuan was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, ancient Buddhism had long been disappeared without a trace. And millions of years later, the people who knew about Buddhism became fewer and fewer, and now the disciples of three sects basically had never heard about Buddhism. The eyes of seven eccentric people however shone, and especially the eccentric person who appeared to be the leader, looking towards Ye Chuan, his eyes were shining brightly, but his voice was hoarse and low, ¡°I don¡¯t want money.¡± ¡°Then what do you want?¡± Ye Chuan asked again, preparing his heart. Liu Hong had already warned, these eccentric people who had come from abroad were unsociable and cold, and all of their items could only be exchanged for other things. Ye Chuan only wanted to know what they want to exchange this Buddha Bone Ring. He wanted to see what demand these eccentric people had. ¡°I want¡­¡­, women, many, many women.¡± The eccentric person stretched out two fingers and said an astonishing sentence. ¡°Two hundred?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°No, twenty thousand.¡± Hearing the eccentric person saying something startling, the disciples of three sects gathered here caused a sensation, feeling incomparably absurd. Even passionate, bold and unrestraint Liu Hong had her eyes wide open. She had seen many hungry ghosts that become high-spirited seeing a beautiful woman, but never seen anyone who wanted women as soon as he opened the mouth, furthermore he wanted so many women. Did they come here just to seek women from far abroad? Why did they want so many women? The dark and desolate underground Ghost Market suddenly boiled over. Chapter 118: Heavenly Dragon Rice Chapter 118: Heavenly Dragon Rice If they wanted silvers, then there was no problem. If they wanted pills and magic items, then that was also fine, but 20,000 women, where would he find them? Ye Chuan shook his head making a wry smile. The demand of this eccentric person was also not impossible, rather he didn¡¯t want to do. If he refined a large batch of pills and sell them in the secular world, then look for some local tyrant, and use the earned silvers to gather women, then he could easily gather 20,000 women, but, using this kind of means to obtain a piece of treasure, was it worth it? Not worth! Ye Chuan who was once a Heaven Concealing Great Sage naturally disdained using this kind of means. Even now when his cultivation was still shallow, and this item was very useful for this lifetime, he disdained to use such despicable means. ¡°Sorry, noble son Ye, I can¡¯t help you with this.¡± Liu Hong whispered beside the ear of Ye Chuan while shaking her head. In order to thank Ye Chuan for providing the information about the hidden treasure of Bluestone Mine, she specially invited Ye Chuan to this underground Ghost Market, and if it required silvers, then she would have immediately helped Ye Chuan to pay. Even if it was ten thousands of taels, she wouldn¡¯t have even blinked her eyes, but 20,000 women, she, this eldest Miss of Five Style Sect, also could do nothing. ¡°Asking women, moreover, 20,000 of them, these people are sick, all seven of them are sick.¡± ¡°Heh heh, really are uncivilized barbarians. What foreign loose cultivators, obviously are big devils, I don¡¯t know what evil, sinister and vicious technique they wanted to cultivate for them to need so many women.¡± ¡­¡­ The disciples of three sects also shook their head and began discussing spiritedly. Although they had neither heard about the ancient Buddhism nor understood the power of this Buddha Bone Ring, but some people were secretly tempted. However, hearing the requirement of this eccentric person, they were forced to give up. ¡°Noble son, did you consider clearly?¡± The eccentric person in the middle asked, then slightly raising his head, he looked at Ye Chuan with a fierce gaze. Although his facial features were hidden by the big bamboo hat, he could indistinctly see a sharp knife-like face and obscure dark skin. ¡°That is the opening price, then how much is the offering price?¡± Ye Chuan asked, instantly, everyone around including Liu Hong was dumbfounded. If the opening price was 20,000 taels of silver, then it could be haggled to 10,000 or 8,000. But since his opening demand was 20,000 women, then could this also be discussed to 10,000 or 8,000 women? Was this something to bargain? These eccentric people were shameless, but Ye Chuan was even more shameless! People were surprised in their heart, today, they truly widened their knowledge. Hearing Ye Chuan, even those eccentric people were dumbfounded, and after a good while, they came back to their senses and coldly said while shaking their head: ¡°No, not one less.¡± ¡°Then forget about it, strolling around underground Ghost Market is seeking pleasure, if we can¡¯t even haggle a little, then what¡¯s the point, furthermore you still want to do business like this? Miss Liu, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then putting down the Buddha Bone Ring, he turned away. This was a trap, thinking for a moment, he understood it. The opening price was not 20,000 taels of silvers, rather 20,000 women, these eccentric people basically didn¡¯t have any sincerity, and also had no intention to truly sell this Buddha Bone Ring. Judging from their reaction, they obviously knew the origin and might of this ring, so they will not sell it so easily. The thoughts of Ye Chuan moved as if lightning, and on the surface, he was haggling with a smile, but he was already clear in his heart. As for what this trap was all about, and why these eccentric people who came from overseas set up this kind of trap, Ye Chuan was not clear about it and he also didn¡¯t want to know. But without any reason, he suddenly recalled that strange mysterious woman. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to get mixed up with this muddy water, so he wanted to leave. Liu Hong was somewhat surprised, but quickly followed after Ye Chuan. Behind, the gaze of the leader eccentric person got gloomy, and he suddenly called out, ¡°Slow down, noble son, I still have another treasure, aren¡¯t you interested to see?¡± The first eccentric person again took out a box from his bosom. This box looked just like a commonplace coarse wooden box and its workmanship was not particularly good, but it emitted faint energy fluctuation. Ye Chuan stopped his footsteps and turning around, he said, ¡°Oh, what¡¯s this? Is the opening price 30,000 women, moreover, not one less?¡± The disciples of three sects roared with laughter, even Liu Hong also chuckled. And her two slender legs vaguely seen under the half-concealed cloak attracted unknown numbers of eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t want women for this, there is no harm for noble son in looking at this first.¡± The complexion of this eccentric person reddened, then quickly reverted back to normal. ¡°That¡¯s also fine.¡± Ye Chuan returned back, then taking that wooden box that seemed to be rough and slipshod work, he had a marvelous feeling. That was not the energy fluctuation of some treasure, nor it resembled any ancient restriction, was an inexplicable feeling, but the feeling it gave to people was very marvelous. This feeling, even in his previous life when he was able to conceal the heaven with his hand, Ye Chuan had practically never chance upon. The gaze of people quickly transferred to the wooden box from the slender legs of Liu Hong, and all of them were curious. Ye Chuan stood motionlessly, holding that wooden box in his hand, that marvelous feeling became even clearer and stronger, even to the extent that his spirit was restless, as if he vaguely heard the call from ancient times, and an even more ancient aura compared to Buddha Bone Ring slowly seeped into his fingertips from the wooden box, infiltrating into his mind, making his spirit tremble. Good item! This was absolutely a peerless good item! The eyes of Ye Chuan shone, then taking a deep breath, he slowly opened the lid. An unknown small seed appeared in front of people. It looked like a grain of rice, but was hundred times bigger, filling up the entire wooden box. And immediately after opening, faint rice fragrance floated in the air. ¡°What is this? A large grain of rice?¡± ¡°Can it be that the rice grown in abroad is like this?¡± ¡­¡­ The disciples of three sects discussed spiritedly, and shaking their head, they were endlessly disappointed. They had thought that there was a rare treasure inside the wooden box, but outside their expectation, it was unexpectedly a grain of seed. Cultivators seek supreme techniques, first-rate pills and powerful treasures. And after reaching the certain level in cultivation, they could go without eating for dozens of years, or even hundred years in seclusion cultivation, so secular food was not essential. Therefore, they don¡¯t have any interest in this trivial grain of rice. ¡°This is¡­¡­, legendary Heavenly Dragon Rice, ancient Heavenly Dragon¡¯s staple food grain Heavenly Dragon Rice?¡± Ye Chuan pondered, and he was so excited in his heart that it became difficult to suppress. The disciples of three sects were greatly disappointed, and lost their interest, but the heart of Ye Chuan shook, and even the Cyan Lotus Lamp within his body was burning. After that, placing it under his nose, a trace of ancient pure aura assaulted his nostrils. The history of this small seed might be as old as Cloud Mist Mountain Range! According to legend, the ancient Wilderness World was divided into many eras. Before the rise of human clan, the entire Wilderness World was the world of ancient Heavenly Dragons, and they were the ruler of Wilderness World. Just a light yawn of adult ancient Heavenly Dragon could give rise to a hurricane, and they had such extraordinary strength that a single hit could knock down huge mountains. One section of their terrifying strength came from their inheritance, and the remaining section came from their foods which were richly endowed by nature, that was, long extinct Heavenly Dragon Rice! If his guess wasn¡¯t wrong and he could obtain this seed, then what did that mean? Didn¡¯t that mean, he could grow Heavenly Dragon Rice, and train a group of unmatched and invincible soldiers, as well as give birth to a division of enormous yao beast legion? The excitement of Ye Chuan rose? ¡°Noble son, what is inside the wooden box, what do you see?¡± The leader eccentric person asked, staring at Ye Chuan with inexplicable excitement and expectation. The heart of Ye Chuan shook, suddenly realizing the situation. These eccentric people didn¡¯t want to sell this thing inside the wooden box, rather wanted to seize the opportunity to understand what this seed was! These seven eccentric people had come all the way from overseas just to find a Great Master who knows all about the goods, so that he would answer their doubts! That Buddha Bone Ring of just now was merely a prop to see whether he know all about the goods or not. The superb collection of items in the entire stall were all insignificant, but this seed was the real treasure! Chapter 119: Dark Tree Monarch Chapter 119: Dark Tree Monarch ¡°Unfortunately, I don¡¯t recognize it.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then slightly hesitating, he returned the wooden box with Heavenly Dragon Rice to the eccentric person. Clearly, these seven eccentric people were disappointed seeing this. But Ye Chuan sneered in his heart, observing their facial expression, he understood that his guess was really correct. Then, he turned away. ¡°Slow down, noble son, do you really don¡¯t recognize this?¡± The leader eccentric person called out, and slowly raising his head, he revealed an ice-cold face. After that, squeezing out a stiff smile with great difficulty, he asked, ¡°Are you not interested in the thing inside the wooden box, or worried that you cannot afford?¡± The leader eccentric person was obviously smiling, but his smile made people feel a chill. And with ice-cold aura quickly spreading all over, the passages of entire underground Ghost Market got even colder. As for remaining six eccentric people, their right hand reached out to the hilt of the sword hanging on their waist in unison, then ice-cold killing intent soared. And seeing the situation was bad, some people quietly retreated, and stayed far away from this hornet¡¯s nest. Ye Chuan smiled, the reaction of these seven eccentric people was beyond all expectation, but also was what he had hoped for. If these eccentric people were selling things honestly, then they wouldn¡¯t have plagued him with unreasonable demands, so now, how should he obtain those things? Ye Chuan looked at those seven eccentric people, then said with a smile: ¡°Yes, I am really worried that I cannot afford. Your Excellency, it¡¯s just a seed, how about selling it to me in 1 tael of silver?¡± Ye Chuan pushed the boat along with the current, offering a tael of silver. The expression of seven eccentric people changed, but the smile of Ye Chuan became even more brilliant, then turning around, he walked away. And behind him, Liu Hong followed. Returning to the surface, Ye Chuan raised his head looking towards the stars in the sky, then suddenly stopping his steps, he turned to look at Liu Hong and said, ¡°Miss Liu, even if you see a friend off for a thousand li, in the end, you still have to part, we are parting here.¡± ¡°Why, noble son Ye, are you afraid that I will stick with you and go all the way to your Cloud Mist Sect?¡± Liu Hong smiled and stepped closer, then leaning her exquisite body against Ye Chuan, she raised her head and said looking at Ye Chuan, ¡°Or to say, are you worried that your that little junior apprentice-sister will see us together?¡± ¡°A little.¡± Ye Chuan evilly smiled. ¡°Hahaha¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong laughed like a silver bell, then lightly sighed and said: ¡°Noble son Ye really isn¡¯t an ordinary person, ai, how come our Five Style Sect don¡¯t have this kind of talent? Noble son Ye, how about joining our Five Style Sect? I will definitely make father train you wholeheartedly and make you our Five Style Sect¡¯s Big Disciple. And when that moment comes, Honghong can also call you Big Senior Apprentice-Brother.¡± ¡°Miss Liu, do you like to call me Big Senior Apprentice-Brother?¡± Ye Chuan looked at Liu Hong with a smile, then said, ¡°Also, Cloud Mist Sect and Five Style Sect are always at odds, and the disciples of two sects would frequently fight outside, but why are you treating me nicely like this?¡± ¡°If I say, you are too handsome, and in the heart of Honghong, you are the most handsome man compared to any other men in the world, do you believe?¡± Looking at Ye Chuan, the big eyes of Liu Hong became watery and under the dim moonlight, her skin appeared even more fair and exquisite, as if a water would come out if pinched lightly. Ye Chuan rubbed his chin for a good while, because he had not taken care of it for a long time, some beard seemed to have already grown in his chin, then he said in all seriousness, ¡°I believe, because, all junior apprentice-sisters of Cloud Mist Sect also said so. Miss Liu, thank you for inviting me. I reaped no little benefit from this time¡¯s trip to underground Ghost Market. Goodbye!¡± Ye Chuan waved his hand, then left with large strides, no longer entangling with Liu Hong. Miss Liu Hong of Five Style Sect appeared bubbling with enthusiasm, and without any scheme, like a pampered and spoiled princess, she did whatever she wanted to do, but coming into contact with her several times always gave Ye Chuan an elusive feeling. Each and every women all aren¡¯t simple, and both beautiful as well as having powerful background women are even more not simple! Ye Chuan was laughing and joking on the surface, but always was alert in his heart. And secretly maintaining a distance from Liu Hong, he gradually got further apart. Behind, looking at his back view from far away, the expression of Liu Hong who just had an ambiguous expression of love-struck idiot quickly sunk, then she sneered, ¡°Very cunning boy, is this really that so-called slow-witted Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect? Heh heh, let me see how long you can be so conceited, one day, I will make you kneel under my pomegranate-red skirt, hahaha¡­¡­¡± [T.N: pomegranate-red skirt = feminine charms] While Liu Hong was laughing, her eyes flashed with scorching hot radiance as if she was the queen who held the power in her hand. Immediately afterward, she reverted back to her previous state, then turning around, she walked, returning to storing dirt and gathering filth underground Ghost Market. ¡°Chase!¡± ¡°Dark Tree Monarch, that boy is in the front!¡± Liu Hong had just walked a step forward, and seven robust figures rush out. They wore sackcloth, had sword hung on their waist, and everyone was wearing a big bamboo hat on their head. Then they stopped for a bit, and they rushed again following the faint reaction towards the east which was the same direction Ye Chuan had disappeared. Seven so-called foreign loose cultivators, from underground Ghost Market, chased after Ye Chuan. Also, don¡¯t know what method they used, but there unexpectedly was no disturbance among the people of underground Ghost Market. Without anybody knowing, under the dim light of night, they flew over. Even Liu Hong who was adept at scheming as well as who had eyes and ears everywhere unexpectedly didn¡¯t realize this. Under the dim light of night, only a shadow hidden inside the dense forest coldly stared at those group. The seven eccentric people weren¡¯t tall, all of them were short in stature, but their speed however was not slow, like a bat, they quickly flew under the dim light of night. Originally, they thought that they would easily catch up to Ye Chuan before traveling 10 li, but now, even after chasing for nearly 30 li, they didn¡¯t even see the shadow of Ye Chuan. And after chasing to a mountain creek, the seven eccentric people suddenly stopped. The footprint of Ye Chuan suddenly changed the direction at this place. Jumping across this mountain creek and continue to go straight forward, was the direction of Cloud Mist Sect; towards the left, was vast mountains; towards the right, was not tall but straight mountain peaks, big and small lakes scattered all over, was the enchanting scenery near underground Ghost Market called Immortal Lake. The footprints of Ye Chuan was stretched towards this Immortal Lake. The six eccentric people simultaneously looked towards the leader eccentric person called Dark Tree Monarch. The sudden change of direction of Ye Chuan made them feel a trace of unease. Could it be that Ye Chuan had noticed they were following him? The heart of eccentric people got heavy, all of them held the hilt of the sword hung on their waist, then their killing intent soared. ¡°Chase!¡± Hesitating for a good while, leader Dark Tree Monarch waved his hand, leading six eccentric people to continue to chase, and their sharp knife like face was ice-cold without any expression. The guess of Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t wrong, these seven people had made such a long journey for the sake of finding a very knowledgeable Great Master to identify that seed inside the wooden box. In order to obtain this wooden box, their clan had paid a heavy price, so they were determined to identify the treasure inside the box! ¡°They came, they really came, came so quickly!¡± On a tall and straight mountain peak, Ye Chuan silently looked at those seven eccentric people flying over under the dim light of night. After that, he coldly smiled and directly jumped down from the mountain peak and as if a shadow, he ran deeper into Immortal Lake with lakes scattered all over. Seven eccentric people were determined to catch Ye Chuan and force him to identify the thing inside the wooden box. But little did they imagine, Ye Chuan was also determined to take advantage and seize that Heavenly Dragon Rice inside that wooden box. For this reason, Ye Chuan had intentionally parted with Liu Hong quite early. And this Immortal Lake where big and small lakes were scattered all over was the battlefield he had intentionally selected. Chapter 120: Peerless style technique Chapter 120: Peerless style technique Hazy moonlight, came down pouring down on a calm and tranquil lake surface. From far, these lakes looked as if big and small sized mirrors inlaid on the earth, moreover, also looked just like resplendent gems. All the way, seven eccentric people pursue relentlessly, reluctant to part with the trail of Ye Chuan. Following the trace of Ye Chuan¡¯s footmarks, they arrived at Immortal Lake, but quickly, they fell into a predicament. Arriving in front of a lake, the footmark of Ye Chuan suddenly disappeared, as if he had disappeared into a thin air without a trace. The seven eccentric people searched all around, but they didn¡¯t find even a bit of his trace. ¡°Dark Tree Monarch, what should we do now?¡± The six eccentric people stepped forward and surrounded the leader Dark Tree Monarch. The circumstance and their expectation were completely different, they had thought that, relying upon the ability all seven of them, they would be able to easily intercept Ye Chuan, but who would have thought that, even after pursuing for a long time, they didn¡¯t even see a trace of Ye Chuan. ¡°He is an expert, we made an error of judgment!¡± The leader Dark Tree Monarch said. His face was tense and his complexion was solemn. Ye Chuan was Great Master of identifying treasure, they had already seen this point. But no-one had foreseen his strength, clearly, he was far from simply a Rank 1 Xiushi as seen on the surface! Dark Tree Monarch hesitated and was indecisive in his heart. This time they had crossed the sea and came from far to this place just to look for an all-knowing Great Master. And finally, they came across extraordinarily knowledgeable Ye Chuan with great difficulty but missing him just like this and returning empty-handed, he was unwilling. But everything in front of him clearly stated that Ye Chuan was already aware of them, following his tracks, so both staying on this place and continue to chase after him were very dangerous. Dark Tree Monarch who could summon wind and rain in East Sea State, at this moment, was apprehensive, and an uneasy feeling arose involuntarily. Moreover, this feeling was getting more and more strong. Whoosh! A cold wind blew over causing waves to appear on the surface of lake water as if the creases on the silk cloth, and the lotus leaves floating on the lake surface also swayed. At that time, all around, in the sky, a cold killing intent quietly rippled. The leader Dark Tree Monarch felt uneasy, and similarly, those six eccentric people also felt the same to some extent, then they immediately tighten their grip on the hilt of their sword. After that, scanning all around, they unwittingly discovered a narrow path between the lakes in front of them. Originally calm and tranquil lakes had Ill Wind Formation, and they suddenly became ferocious and ghastly like oppressive bottomless pits. ¡°Bastard, come out!¡± ¡°Dark Tree Monarch¡­¡­¡± The six people felt more and more uneasy and they clustered around the leader Dark Tree Monarch. ¡°Come out, boy, this lordship know you are nearby, come out for me!¡± After waiting for a moment, the leader Dark Tree Monarch lost his patience, then pushing away one follower with his one hand, he pulled out the sword hanging on his waist with another hand. Kengqiang! [T.N: kengqiang: sonorous and rhythmic] Under the hazy moonlight, the bone-chilling cold sword light flashed as Dark Tree Monarch brandished his sword towards the lake surface. The water waves immediately rose to more than ten meters, and the entire lake seemed to be cleaved into two by this sword slash. After the waves fell down, another wave rose again, as the sword lights swept all over the lake surface. In one breathe of time, Dark Tree Monarch brandished his sword seventeen times, and his power was terrifying. Although he was not tall, his sword moves however were downright domineering, and his swordsmanship was clearly different from the swordsmanship of the mainland. After the foam of breaking waves fell down, the lakes around gradually revert back to the calmness. After the fierce slashes, Dark Tree Monarch panted, but there was still no trace of Ye Chuan. After that, the seven people not only didn¡¯t relax instead got even more nervous and their heart pounded. Under the night sky, they didn¡¯t know when, the killing intent undulated along with obscure energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation was not very strong but clearly seeped into the senses of everybody, moreover, as the time goes on, it steadily rose, as if the sea tide, it got more and more intense and as if war drumbeat, it got more and more elated. Ye Chuan was lurking, but after unleashing his seal, the aura of Heaven Swallowing Talismans became increasingly denser and as if a death shadow, it somewhat heavily pressured the heart of seven eccentric people. ¡°Are you all looking for me?¡± After a good while, when all seven eccentric people were gasping for breath and when their heart almost popped out, a faint voice resounded. On the left side lake, at an unknown time, Ye Chuan had appeared, sitting on the lotus leaf. His strong and vigorous body was light as if feather sitting on the lotus leaf without sinking. And looking at those seven eccentric people who appeared as if they were facing a formidable foe, an evil smile appeared. ¡°Catch him!¡± Dark Tree Monarch angrily shouted. After that, these seven eccentric people that came from overseas disappeared simultaneously. And in the next moment, the air beside Ye Chuan suddenly twisted, and seven sharp swords dazzling with pallid light appeared. Wind Style! The seven eccentric people jointly gave free play to Style Technique initiating ferocious attacks. This technique appeared somewhat similar to the technique of Five Style Sect, but was even simpler and fierce, moreover, the speed was also faster. ¡°With such little bit of skill, do you think you can be unbridled in the mainland? Ye Chuan indifferently smiled, then suddenly swaying left and right, he dodged the sharp swords of all seven eccentric people. This¡­¡­, is this also a Style Technique? The pupils of seven eccentric people contracted, then jumping over, they landed on the narrow path, and all of them became very alert. ¡°Hahaha, look carefully, this is the real Style Technique, Peerless Style Technique!¡± Ye Chuan laughed, and with his body suddenly becoming dim, he instantly appeared 100 meters away on the narrow paths of the lakes. After that, with cyan lights flashing behind him, one Evil Eyed Cow Demon appeared, then two, three¡­¡­, in no time, more than thousand Evil Eyed Cow Demons crowded on the narrow path and their momentum was threatening. When he was just in Wuzhe realm, Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t able to display many techniques, but after breaking through to Xiushi realm, it was different. In similar Style Technique, he was even better than these seven eccentric people! ¡°Be careful!¡± Dark Tree Monarch exclaimed as the dangerous feeling suddenly increased. Dazzling cyan radiances suddenly streak across in the sky, illumination the greater part of the sky. The Evil Eyed Cow Demons arranged in the battle formation showed their might, launching ferocious attacks, and those seven eccentric people who were crowded on the narrow path dodged in succession. Some swayed left and right and some used Style Technique to jump into the lakes beside them, and only came out after a good while. But, after they had just dodged the first wave of attacks, the second wave of thickly dotted cyan radiances arrived in unbroken succession. Soon, screaming sounds resounded in succession. Three eccentric people died and fell into the lake, then red color slowly floated on the lake surface. ¡°Kill, kill him!¡± The leader Dark Tree Monarch angrily gave the order to kill, then leaving behind the remaining three followers, he rushed forward. Originally, he only intended to grab Ye Chuan and forcibly ask what treasure was the thing inside the wooden box, but now, he didn¡¯t care about anything, and he only wanted to kill him. The air suddenly distorted, and several waves appeared on the lake water on both sides of the narrow path which simultaneously advanced forward quickly. Wind Style, Water Style, together with leader Dark Tree Monarch, the remaining four eccentric people launched an all-out attack, wanted to kill Ye Chuan. The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk, and the energy fluctuation within his body rose to the extreme, as he insanely circulated two Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. After that, Evil Eyed Cow Demons clustered around him simultaneously opened their eyes wide, preparing a ferocious attack. Would these foreign eccentric people be first to rush over or the move of these Evil Eyed Cow Demons under his command be faster? Ye Chuan prepared to personally make a move too, those eight extremely thin blades in the space between his fingers glimmered with blade light and began to rotate. Confronting four insane foreign loose cultivators, could Evil Eyed Cow Demons obstruct them or not, he was not sure in his heart. At that time, suddenly fog rose from the calm and tranquil lakes. When both sides were about to fight to the death, the dense fog suddenly appeared, moreover, it appeared very fast. In the blink of an eye, the narrow paths between the lakes were enveloped with the dense fog, and a strong danger feeling simultaneously emerged in the mind of Ye Chuan and those four eccentric people. Chapter 121: Yao’s song Chapter 121: Yao¡¯s song Ambush? Ye Chuan thought in his heart, but soon after that, he denied this thought. Immortal Lake, this place was the battlefield he had intentionally selected. And, he was the one who had drawn Dark Tree Monarch and other eccentric people to this place, so the other party didn¡¯t have any chance to arrange the ambush in advance. Therefore, there were only two explanation of this, either there was a hidden expert in this place, and due to their intrusion, they disturbed him, moreover, legend stated that there was an immortal living in seclusion here, so this place was called Immortal Lake; or, other experts had come here tailing behind them! Immortals were purely imaginary, how could mortal easily see them? On the contrary, the underground Ghost Market was a place with hidden dragon and crouching tiger, so there might be someone that took a fancy to the Heavenly Dragon Rice inside the wooden box! Ye Chuan got serious and a hint of hesitation appeared in his heart. This fog was too odd, and it came too fast, bolting out the sky and the sun. With his present Rank 1 Xiushi realm cultivation, he also had no means to do so. Obviously, the person who had come was an expert, or was the person possessing a powerful magic treasure, or possessing a special innate technique. Compared to Dark Tree Monarch and his group, this person would be even harder to deal. Now, there might still be time to turn around and flee; but if he continued to stay, not only he would not obtain Heavenly Dragon Rice, he might even lose his life here! The heart of Ye Chuan was restless, and Dark Tree Monarch as well as his group who were attacking also stopped abruptly, obviously they also felt strong danger. With the dense fog separated the two parties, all of a sudden both parties hesitated. The fog got denser and denser, and now, looking straight, they could only see the indistinct figure of each other, which was also becoming increasingly indistinct. In the midst of dense fog, the atmosphere got dangerous, and there was also obscure energy fluctuation, substantially weakening the range of their divine sense. This is¡­¡­, yao qi? The expression of Ye Chuan suddenly change, with the movement of the alae of his nose, Ye Chuan quickly identified what this aura was, and then he instantly became more solemn and cautious. People were comparable to yao beast, but many yao beasts often had unparalleled innate talent from birth. Depending on the environment richly endowed by nature, their combat power often far surpass the imagination of their opponent, easily crushing the opponent of the same realm! Heavenly Dragon Rice was ancient Heavenly Dragon¡¯s staple food grain, the appearance of this seed might also attract the ultimate yao beasts of Cloud Mist Mountain Range! Ye Chuan took a deep breath, and recalling the surrounding terrain in his mind, when he was just about to evacuate, his ears suddenly stick up. From a distant place where the vision of eyes and divine sense couldn¡¯t reach, suddenly an indistinct sound of singing came. This sound of singing was faintly discernable and erratic. Sometimes, it came from the east, becoming very clear, and felt as if it was quickly approaching; but in the next moment, the sound suddenly came from the west, becoming hard to tell if this sound really existed, and felt as if it was far away. This sound sounded just like someone muttering to himself, but also like a yearning girl pouring out everything. It was filled with thick resentment, arouse sympathy in the spirit of people, moreover, made people enter the world of resentment together with this sound of singing. No wind, also no rain, Ye Chuan suddenly shivered and woke up with a start. The fog got denser and the lakes on both sides of the narrow path make the sound of gurgling water. No one knew when, waves were surging forth, and the dangerous atmosphere in the sky had gotten even stronger. Great technique! Ye Chuan took out Cyan Lotus Lamp, and under the illumination of its faint cyan light, his spirit quickly settled down. The ethereal sound of singing continued to come, but it could no longer affect his spirit. Just a moment ago, instantly after attentively listening to that sound, even he, this formerly Heaven Concealing Great Sage nearly suffer a setback, his spirit was lost in the resentment world of the sound of singing. That was illusion, illusion technique, a kind of extremely brilliant illusion technique! In the midst of dense fog, rapid as well as chaotic breathing sound resounded. The four eccentric people were also trapped in this illusion technique. Shortly afterwards, ¡®ding¡¯ sound resounded, and then the furious shouting. After Ye Chuan, the leader Dark Tree Monarch also woke up with a start from that terrifying illusion. Then with his ear deafening shout, the remaining three followers were also awakened. ¡°Sea Demon, it¡¯s that Sea Demon girl, she followed us all the way here!¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s her, that Sea Demon. She wants to seize the wooden box and also wants to avenge her companion!¡± ¡°Curse, this is the legendary curse of Sea Demon!¡± Three eccentric people screamed in panic. Their voice was trembling, with fear rising from the depth of their soul. It was not easy to rob the wooden box of Heavenly Dragon Rice. For this, they joined hand to kill a powerful Sea Demon, and then dug out his eyes, which was the same eyeball which Liu Hong had picked up from the stall thinking it was some kind of treasure. Other than that Sea Demon that had died, there furthermore was a female Sea Demon, but she was able to flee from the attacks of this Dark Tree Monarch and his clansmen. But outside of their expectation, she actually followed them all the way to the mainland. Moreover, the special environment of Immortal Lake, and with various sized lakes scattered all over here, this place made Sea Demon clan like a tiger that had grown wings! ¡°A bunch of trashes, still not seizing the chance to attack?¡± Dark Tree Monarch ferociously shouted, and then suddenly rushed forward, following the weak reaction towards the direction of Ye Chuan. The illusion technique of Sea Demon was unparalleled in the world, so he wanted to capture Ye Chuan seizing the chance when he was lost in the illusion, then take him back to East Sea State of overseas. If he didn¡¯t get to work, then wouldn¡¯t it be that he had made a fruitless trip? The leader Dark Tree Monarch made a reckless move! Three eccentric people came back to their senses, then holding their sword, they also rushed. Sea Demon who was hiding on the one side made them tremble with terror, and they were dying to flee as quickly as possible from here, but because of the order of Dark Tree Monarch as well as for the honor of their clansmen, they had no choice but to go ahead regardless. ¡°Coming!¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan who had already woken up couldn¡¯t see Dark Tree Monarch and his group, but his ears could hear clearly. Then Evil Eyed Cow Demons clustering around him suddenly rushed forward simultaneously, and as if they all had gone mad, they rushed faster and faster. Ye Chuan simply jumped on the back of Evil Cow King, then tilting his body, he silently slipped to the belly of Evil Cow King. With more than 1000 Evil Eyed Cow Demons suddenly rushing forward like a mad, their momentum was extraordinary. And this also confused Dark Tree Monarch and his group who were making a reckless move, all of the sudden, the situation got chaotic. They hastily dodged but some were sent flying into the lakes beside the narrow path. But Dark Tree Monarch didn¡¯t dodge, moreover, still continued to push forward. He crazily swung the sword in his hand, beheading all the Evil Eyed Cow Demons in front of him. This fellow was even more insane compared to yao beasts, until he reached his goal, he seemed to have sworn not to stop! Ding! Dark Tree Monarch swept everything before him, his sword again fell, chopping the back of Evil Cow King, but just when he was about to continue to push forward and look for Ye Chuan, he suddenly felt something was wrong. The body of this Evil Cow was too strong, unexpectedly his sword swing was unable to cut it in two half, and furthermore, he felt extreme pain in the web between his thumb and forefinger. Evil Cow King? Dark Tree Monarch quickly understood what had happened, and just when he was about to put forth his strength in his sword again, an earth-shaking momentum suddenly came from underfoot, and was knocked down to the ground all of a sudden, and his ribs were broken. That force was even stronger compared to the collision of ten Evil Eyed Cow Demons. He felt as if he was pressed down by a heavy boulder. He fell into the trap of that kid! The heart of Dark Tree Monarch shook, then angrily gritting his teeth, he raised the sword in his hand wanting to fight back, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed, then with a kacha could, it was broken, and the sharp sword fell to the ground. Immediately after that, in the midst of the fog, blade light suddenly appeared, then he simultaneously felt pain in throat, space between his eyebrows and chest as well as other vital parts. He had already suffered a deathly attack. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Dark Tree Monarch gave a blood-curdling scream, and before dying, he felt two big hands feeling about his badly mangled chest, taking away the wooden box in his bosom as well as that crystal box containing Buddha Bone Ring. Both treasures were snatched away. After that, the chaotic footsteps of Evil Eyed Cow Demons suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only the sound of singing of Sea Demon in the world. ¡°Dark Tree Monarch!¡± ¡°No¡­¡­, Dark Tree Monarch¡­¡­¡± The remaining three eccentric people rushed over to the side of Dark Tree Monarch, then shouted loudly. They reached out their hand, and sensed that their powerful leader Dark Tree Monarch no longer had any aura on him, furthermore, the treasures on his bosom had already disappeared without a trace. ¡°Go, return and tell patriarch, let him¡­¡­¡± One eccentric person quickly stood up, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt cold in his throat, then the blood burst out from his throat. After that, covering his throat, he collapsed in disbelief, falling into the lake beside the narrow path. A graceful woman jumped out from inside the lake. And after seeing her, the remaining two eccentric people screamed and fled, but before they could run few steps, sharp blade penetrated their chest, then falling to the ground, they died. After that, that graceful woman squatted down, and after feeling about the body of Dark Tree Monarch, her complexion got increasingly colder. ¡°Surnamed Ye? In this Cloud Mist Mountain range, how many youngsters are there with surname Ye?¡± The eyes of this graceful woman shone with pallid light, then standing up, she kicked the corpse of Dark Tree Monarch into the lake. Then turning around, she left. Very soon, the dense fog also dissipated. As fast as it came, that fast it dissipated. Chapter 122: Opening up land (for agriculture) Chapter 122: Opening up land (for agriculture) Before dawn, Ye Chuan, who had got through a daunting experience without mishap, returned to Cloud Mist Sect. All along the road, in order to avoid someone tracking him, and shake off that mysterious expert of Immortal Lake who had raised that dense fog, he painstakingly detoured a big lap around the Cloud Mist Mountain Range before returning. After Ye Chuan returned to Purple Cloud Courtyard, he instructed Flame Devil to activate the Purple Cloud Peak¡¯s defense restriction, then he went to the study and sat cross-legged. ¡°Sea Demon¡­¡­, is it possible that she is that mysterious woman I saw in underground Ghost Market?¡± Ye Chuan quickly recalled that woman in the underground Ghost Market who was standing far away from the crowd in the darkness staring at him. In the battle of Immortal Lake, he fulfilled his wish of obtaining Heavenly Dragon Rice seed, and even successfully obtained Buddha Bone Ring, but thinking about the circumstance of that time, he still had a lingering fear, secretly thinking he was lucky. At that time, if his reaction was even a bit slower, then perhaps he would have sunk into the illusion technique of Sea Demon forever. Moreover, if the leader Dark Tree Monarch was a little bit more cautious and had fled, then he wouldn¡¯t have obtained those treasures, only that Sea Demon hidden in the thick fog would have gotten the advantage. Now, Dark Tree Monarch was dead, but the big overseas clan behind Dark Tree Monarch, and that Sea Demon were glaring like a tiger eyeing its prey, perhaps there would be no end of trouble in the future. Pondering for a while, Ye Chuan discarded all distracting thoughts, then taking out two treasures, he opened crystal box first, then placing that Buddha Bone Ring in his palm, he observed it for a moment. After that, he forced out a drop of essence blood, and refined this most valuable treasure of Buddhist Sect on the spot. If he wanted to set foot on the summit, and once again rule this Wilderness World, then he would inevitably face all kinds of enemies. This was the course every strong people couldn¡¯t avoid when they were rising to the prominence. The force behind Dark Tree Monarch and that mysterious Sea Demon were very troublesome, but Ye Chuan no longer thought about them. As formerly Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he had multitudes of enemies, increase or decrease of one or two enemies was nothing. Regardless of anything, increasing his strength and strengthen his forces were the most important matter. In the palm of Ye Chuan, a dark red flame appeared, and slowly, the Buddha Bone Ring in his palm began to soften, and ancient runes as well as standing and sitting Buddha¡¯s figures emerged. Furthermore, beside the ears of Ye Chuan, a series of Buddha singing sound resounded. It was a sonorous and continuous voice as if a bellowing sound. And before this lingering sound ended, yet another round of Buddha singing sound came through. These sounds seemed to be coming from inside the ring, resounded beside the ears of Ye Chuan, but also seemed like the sounds were coming from the depth of void. Flame Devil who was sitting in the doorway of Purple Cloud Courtyard also indistinctly heard this Buddha singing. Hearing this, he unconsciously closed his eyes and began cultivating. His complexion was tranquil and his spirit was also calm and at peace like never before, moreover, the heart demon that was left behind within his body due to the cultivation of All Direction Scorching Sun Technique quietly dissipated, and now, there was indistinct red light circulating on his body. Ding! After a good while, the Buddha Bone Ring in his palm lightly trembled, finally was thoroughly refined. ¡°Now, let me examine the legendary Heavenly Dragon Rice!¡± Ye Chuan put on Buddha Bone Ring, then a pure and rich energy rose involuntarily, slowly circulating within his body, and then was deposited in his dantian. It condensed and turned into a cyclone which was ceaselessly changing its form. Third Heaven Swallowing Talisman was on the verge of coming out. After that opening the lid of the wooden box, ancient Heavenly Dragon Rice seed appeared before his eyes, and a delicate fragrance assaulted his nostrils. This delicate fragrance could cause people¡¯s forefinger to jump. It wasn¡¯t greasy like mortal things, and also wasn¡¯t green and astringent like the wild fruit of the mountain, but a single mouthful of lingering fragrance could shake the spirit of people and vastly increase their appetite. In the void, a powerful dragon roar resounded once again, and as if ancient Heavenly Dragons that dominated the Wilderness World in ancient times were about to leap over time and space and come here, an ancient, majestic, vicissitudes¡¯ energy fluctuation rapidly spread out. [T.N: One¡¯s forefinger jumps = crave for food] ¡°Noble son, what¡¯s going on here?¡± Flame Devil was startled awake, then quickly rushing over, he worriedly asked. ¡°Yi Yangzi, follow me!¡± Ye Chuan closed the lid, and opening the door, he walked out, then taking along Flame Devil, he went straight to the rear mountain. Heavenly Dragon Rice seed in itself was not a treasure, but its value was unlimited, and was above the value of Buddha Bone Ring. If he could grow this Heavenly Dragon Rice which ancient Heavenly Dragons relied on to live, then he could substantially strengthen the body of his subordinates, making them fierce and doughy like the ancient Heavenly Dragon. At that time, no need to speak about the revival of Cloud Mist Sect, he could upgrade the physique of everybody in the entire Da Qing Dynasty, and then it would be easy for everybody to become knight warrior! The worldly spiritual qi of Cloud Mist Sect was dense, and all kinds of medicinal herbs could be grown everywhere inside the sect. But after making a general survey, within the entire sect, there was only one place which was richly endowed by nature that was best to plant legendary Heavenly Dragon Rice, and that place was Evil Dragon Abyss of the rear mountain. Ancient Heavenly Dragons were extremely yang in nature, and Heavenly Dragon Rice also needed to absorb a large amount of yang qi during its growth, so this Evil Dragon Abyss of the rear mountain which was surging with yang qi just happened to have the perfect condition. Opening up the land here, it might be the best place to grow legendary Heavenly Dragon Rice. Late at night, all kinds of beast on the mountain roared, and under Evil Dragon Abyss, blood and qi seethed and yao beasts roared repeatedly, as if all beasts would rush out at any time. Even Flame Devil, this kind of strong expert, standing beside Evil Dragon Abyss at this time, he was also involuntarily short of breath, and the color of his face changed. Ye Chuan nevertheless was calm and composed, and after sizing up all around, he began to dig, then, opening the wooden box, he took out Heavenly Dragon Rice seed and carefully buried inside the earth. After that, the world suddenly got quiet, as if all the yao beasts wandering in the wilderness had disappeared all without exception. Calm Ye Chuan and Flame Devil could hear their own heartbeat, and the seething blood and qi under the Evil Dragon Abyss also suddenly settled down. Ye Chuan raised his head, and then suddenly wind started to blow beside Evil Dragon Abyss. No, that wasn¡¯t the wind, that was a large amount of worldly spiritual qi, engulfing everything just like a tide. In the air, suddenly a spectacular energy whirlpool appeared, the worldly spiritual qi within the neighborhood of 10 li was instantly drawn, and was poured into the Heavenly Dragon Rice seed buried inside the earth. Shortly afterward, the range expanded to 30 li, 80 li, 120 li¡­¡­ In the countless mountain peaks inside the Cloud Mist Sect, the people who were cultivating, including the Daoist Master realm elders and protectors, and even odd-jobs men who had just entered the sect, all without exception felt fatigue in their heart, and they could no longer absorb even a little bit of worldly spiritual qi, so all of them suddenly woke up with a start. Roar! In the night sky, a dragon roar which was beyond description resounded. This dragon roar made the heart of people tremble, and also lose their spirit. In Heavenly Fire Continent, there was an ancient legend, everybody was the descendants of ancient Heavenly Dragons, and everybody had the blood of ancient Heavenly Dragons flowing inside their body. Instantly, everybody had an illusion, after hearing this dragon roaring sound, they felt as if they also turned into a dragon, and they rose higher to the sky as if riding the clouds and flying on the mist. After continuing for a good while, the dragon roaring sound receded, and then at that moment, every kind of beasts on the mountain roared, or crying out in fear sound, resounded from far away from Evil Dragon Abyss. Ye Chuan calmed down, and he instantly woke up from the state of losing his spirit. After that, he discovered that, merely after a short while, the Heavenly Dragon Rice seed buried underground had unexpectedly sprouted a small soft shoot. The concentration of worldly spiritual qi circulating in the sky of the rear mountain instantly become half as thin compared to before. The blood and qi under Evil Dragon Abyss was still seething, but now, it was rotating speed was much slower, as if a lot of its energy was consumed. ¡°Yi Yangzi, go, fetch a bucket of mountain spring water¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan instructed, and before he could finish speaking, he was unable to move his body all of a sudden. Not far away behind a rather dark stone, don¡¯t know when, a cyan robed man had appeared noiselessly. He was very thin, and the cyan robe on his body was spotless. He looked as if he was not a person from this world. Even with the cultivation level of Ye Chuan and Flame Devil, they were unexpectedly unable to sense his arrival. ¡°Who?¡± Flame Devil who had gone through countless dangers suddenly got nervous, and he subconsciously stood in front of Ye Chuan. Then a ball of scorching hot ferocious flame appeared in his palm. Chapter 123: Seventh Elder Chapter 123: Seventh Elder ¡°Disciple Ye Chuan greets Seventh Elder.¡± Ye Chuan immediately stretched out his hand and held the shoulder of Flame Devil, then slightly bowed towards that distant cyan robed person to make his salutation. Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised seeing this Seventh Elder. Unexpectedly, even mysterious and unpredictable Seven Elder who had not appeared for a long time was alarmed this time. Until now, he didn¡¯t know who was this cyan robed man that called himself Seventh Elder, and also had never heard of the existence of such person within the sect. The self-proclaimed Seventh Elder, this cyan robed man didn¡¯t speak, just stared at the little soft shoot which had just sprouted on the ground for a good while, then he asked: ¡°Youngster, can you tell me, what is this?¡± ¡°This is¡­¡­, if my guess isn¡¯t wrong then it is Heavenly Dragon Rice seed.¡± Ye Chuan hesitated slightly, but said boldly. He didn¡¯t conceal anything, on the contrary, he probed this Seventh Elder with unfathomable cultivation. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t sense any hostility from this cyan robed man, moreover, being able to appear in the rear mountain twice in the dead of night, even if he wasn¡¯t the member of Cloud Mist Sect, he was definitely someone with profound relation with Cloud Mist Sect. And with his experience and cultivation, even if he didn¡¯t know the origin of Heavenly Dragon Rice, he could definitely see that this was an extraordinary item. Thereupon, even if the other party had evil plans and wanted to seize it, concealing was also useless; on the contrary, if he told him truthfully, he might obtain the support of a super expert! Heavenly Dragon Rice was not the item of the secular world, just the little soft shoot breaking out from the ground gave rise to such big movement, so in the process of growth, it was certain that it would absorb even more worldly spiritual qi, giving rise to an even greater movement. At that time, it will certainly alarm the experts of other two sects of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, or even alarm those old monsters who had lived for several thousand and several tens of thousands years. And with only the means of Ye Chuan, at that time, Ye Chuan absolutely wouldn¡¯t be able to stop them. Heavenly Dragon Rice seed? Flame Devil Yi Yangzi was puzzled, he had never heard about such thing, but the expression of cyan robed Seventh Elder however suddenly changed, and his deep eyes shone and were blazing like torches. And after looking at the little soft shoot which had just sprouted for a while, he carefully sized up Ye Chuan and asked in a lowered voice: ¡°Youngster, are you certain?¡± ¡°It cannot be wrong, if I am not 100% certain, then I am 99% certain.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. From the beginning to the end, Ye Chuan carefully weighed cyan robed Seventh Elder¡¯s words and closely watched his expression in secret. He observed every change in the expression of cyan robed Seventh Elder in detail, and his mind was sure. His intuition was indeed correct, this cyan robed Seventh Elder wasn¡¯t hostile, even after knowing Heavenly Dragon Rice seed was buried in this place, he was only shocked, and didn¡¯t show even a trace of greed and evil intention. This is a true expert! This cyan robed man truly won the deep respect of Ye Chuan. Even in his previous lifetime, when he was able to conceal the heaven with his hand, this kind of people was rare. The side of Evil Dragon Abyss suddenly quieted down. Ye Chuan only said Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed without too much explanation, and cyan robed man also didn¡¯t ask too much. Now both people were silent. After a good while, the cyan robed man broke the silence. ¡°From sowing to harvest, how long does it need?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Ye Chuan answered frankly and also was very helpless. He truly didn¡¯t know, the history of Heavenly Dragon and Heavenly Dragon Rice was truly too old, and there were many matters of that era he didn¡¯t know. In his previous lifetime, when he was able to conceal the heaven with his hand, he had inadvertently heard the talk of a roaming Sage, only because of this he was able to identify this Heavenly Dragon Rice seed, however he truly didn¡¯t know concrete planting tips and time needed. ¡°As long as it is a worldly spiritual item, all need a great amount of worldly spiritual qi to grow, is the worldly spiritual qi of this place sufficient?¡± Cyan robed man asked again. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head again and he was also not sure in his heart. He knew other better places in the Wilderness World to grow spiritual medicine, where the worldly spiritual qi was hundred times denser than in Cloud Mist Sect. Unfortunately, all of them were far away from Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and some were not even in Heavenly Fire Continent. In his previous lifetime, when he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he was able to freely come and go, but with his current status and cultivation, even if he walked on for one hundred years, he might not be able to reach those places. Cyan robed Seventh Elder became silent again. In the horizon, gradually a smear of grey dawn appeared, and from under Evil Dragon Abyss, indistinct roaring sounds which could cause people tremble with fear again came through, and the blood mist intensely seethed once again. But compared to before, it was even more ferocious, as if it was about to overflow from Evil Dragon Abyss and spread throughout the entire Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°Sage Heartless, heaven and earth, because of straw dogs serving a meal, go disorder under the heaven¡­¡­¡± Cyan robed man muttered to himself, his complexion was somewhat downcast, then faintly sighing, he looked towards Ye Chuan and said: ¡°The unearthed treasure is bound to lead strong evildoers to rob and plunder, youngster, are you prepared?¡± ¡°Rest assured, senior, form this moment, my follower Yi Yangzi will stay here and guard it all the way.¡± Ye Chuan replied pointing at Flame Devil beside him. After Heavenly Dragon Rice seed was buried, it gave rise to the movement, so he was alert and was prepared to let Flame Devil Yi Yangzi continuously stay here to guard it. With Flame Devil¡¯s Rank 5 Daoist Master realm cultivation, average people would never be able to approach. ¡°He won¡¯t do, his cultivation realm is still low. Since seeing you is predetermined by fate, youngster, I will help you lay out a simple defense formation.¡± Cyan robed man faintly said, then took out a three-foot-long Cyan Jade Ruler from his bosom. In the next moment, a dazzling cyan light illuminated the entire rear mountain, and countless crystal stones flew out from the Jade Ruler, encircling the ground where Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed was planted, then those crystal stones fused together with the earth, changing the entire peak into a gigantic flat and smooth crystal stones square. Next, the cyan light of Cyan Jade Ruler suddenly rose sharply, and with the emergence of abstruse runes, eight over hundred zhang tall stone carvings descended from the heaven. And landing on the crystal stones square, they held spear, heavy sword, huge cauldrons and so on killing weapons, and as if eight giants, they surrounded the Heavenly Dragon Rice seed in a protective position. [T.N: zhang: traditional unit of length, equivalent to 10 feet or 3.3333 meters] After that, an energy fluctuation with earth-shaking momentum suddenly spread out which was accompanied by ice-cold killing intent. The roaring sound under Evil Dragon Abyss that could cause people tremble with fear suddenly disappeared, and that seething blood and qi also settled down. Such dense killing intent made everything in the world to tremble. This uninhabited rear mountain lying waste in former days changed into a dangerous killing formation. Anything that approach this place would suffer the joint attack of these eight giant guards. And feeling the energy fluctuation and killing intent of these eight giant guards, Flame Devil Yi Yangzi trembled. Cyan light flashed again, then these eight giant guards along with the crystal stones square sunk underground, and the place beside the Evil Dragon Abyss revert back to the previous state, even the ice-cold killing intent also disappeared, and was replaced it by an indistinct obscure energy fluctuation. Illusion Formation! In the terrifying killing formation, cyan robed Seventh Elder overlaid a powerful illusion formation. With truth mingled with the false, even Flame Devil was somewhat in trance, and he subconsciously reached out his hand and touched the earth under his foot, but he wasn¡¯t able to see whether this was real or false. ¡°This is a simple Demon Extermination Formation, put good use of 18 Extermination Demon Hands, youngster, cultivate well, I can only help till here.¡± The cyan robed man put away Cyan Jade Ruler, then flew away disappearing without a trace in an instant, leaving behind only his faint voice. In the mind of Ye Chuan, suddenly an abstruse technique appeared. Exterminating Demon Formation, 18 Extermination Demon Hands, could it be that he is¡­¡­ The heart of Ye Chuan suddenly moved, in his previous lifetime when he was able to conceal the heaven with his hand, he was very familiar with all the sect and powers in the Wilderness World, but was only unfamiliar with one, which was Buddhist Sect that was extinct long ago. Chapter 124: Heavenly Dragon Peak Chapter 124: Heavenly Dragon Peak After cyan robed Seventh Elder left, Ye Chuan immediately took the action, he instructed Flame Devil Yi Yangzi to guard beside Evil Dragon Abyss, then, on the same night, paid a visit to Second Elder Nangong Ren. And after a little while, together with Second Elder Nangong Ren, he went to have an audience with Great Elder Zhu Guohong who guarded the sect. Since Sect Master Yun Feiwu was out, Great Elder Zhu Guohong held the power in his hand, moreover with the presence of Second Elder, it was enough to decide any big matter. After dawn, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect came out in succession and began discussing the changes of last night. Since yesterday till now, the worldly spiritual qi of Cloud Mist Sect was much thinner, merely was nearly half of what it was in former days. Since the moment Heavenly Dragon Rice seed was planted, the worldly spiritual qi hadn¡¯t restored. In the cultivation, worldly spiritual qi was extremely important, if there wasn¡¯t sufficient spiritual qi, then the cultivating would get half the result with twice the effort, even to the extent of ceasing to make any progress. Many former illustrious sects slowly declined later because the spiritual qi around them was depleted. Ancient Cloud Mist Sect whose inheritance was millions upon millions old, also seemed to be taking this step, they had just seen a bit of hope of revival, but was it going to decline thoroughly? Disciples gathered and discussed spiritedly, and people were in the state of anxiety. Not long after, another astonishing news spread within the sect. Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Ye Chuan wrote a letter to Great Elder, in order to cultivate the elite disciples of the young generation, he especially gave away Purple Cloud Peak with dense spiritual qi, and took the initiative to move to the rear mountain, near Evil Dragon Abyss to cultivate. He wrote that, on one hand, he wanted to give away a place to other disciples, and on the other hand, he also wanted to suppress the yao demons who were getting more and more ferocious with each passing day under Evil Dragon Abyss, stirring up the burden of sect¡¯s Big Disciple. Since then, the rear mountain officially fell under the domain of the sect, and the mountain peak beside Evil Dragon Abyss was named Heavenly Dragon Peak, and Heavenly Dragon Courtyard was to be built on the top of this mountain peak. After this news spread, the entire sect was shocked. When Zhu Shjia heard this news, she immediately stepped on her flying sword and rushed towards Purple Cloud Peak, unfortunately, Purple Cloud Courtyard was already empty with no soul on the sight. Pill furnace was still there in the alchemy room, and the collection of books were also in the study, only Ye Chuan and his that servant Yi Yangzi had disappeared without a trace. So big Purple Cloud Courtyard was completely deserted. ¡°That idiot!¡± Zhu Sijia stomped her feet, then stepping on her flying sword, she flew towards the rear mountain, she was anxious and also angry. Early in the morning, when she heard the news of Ye Chuan had moved to the rear mountain, she thought that this was a fake news, but as it now seems it had really happened. Compared to Purple Cloud Peak left behind by Sect Master Yun Feiwu, the rear mountain was worse in every aspect. There was no sect¡¯s defense restriction, no dense worldly spiritual qi, was far away from the sect¡¯s other mountain peaks and was solitary, so if someday a strong enemy came to kill him in the dead of the night, then nobody would know. In the end, what did Ye Chuan want to do? Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t get any news in advance, so she was truly angry. And angrily stepping on the flying sword, she darted towards the mountain peak beside Evil Dragon Abyss, now that was Heavenly Dragon Peak. On the summit of the mountain, there was only a simple and crude log cabin, but it was also empty inside. There were only a pill furnace, a praying mat, and nothing else. There were not even a bed or a chair inside. She didn¡¯t know from where Ye Chuan brought this servant Yi Yangzi, but he was simply sitting cross-legged outside the log cabin. He appeared all alone, and there was no trace of Ye Chuan. Zhu Sijia entered the log cabin, looked around for a while, then her nose turned sour and her tears trickled down. This empty log cabin, no need to talk about being simple and crude, but was also not air proof and was leaky. Even compared to the place inside the sect where the odd-job men stayed, this place was hundred times shabbier. Big Disciple of a grand sect unexpectedly moved over to live in such place, if said to others, then who would believe? Ye Chuan, he was not stupid, was too stupid, in order to cultivate the elite disciples of the sect, was it worth to treat himself like this? ¡°Miss, this is the letter my master left for you.¡± Flame Devil Yi Yangzi walked over and presented a letter respectfully with both hands. Ye Chuan disappeared early in the morning, but he knew that Zhu Sijia would definitely come, moreover, she would be the first person to rush over, so he prepared a letter for her in advance. Zhu Sijia opened the envelope, and beginning to read, she felt sad, unexpected, confused, angry, and slowly became surprised. There were words written in the letter, but, that handwriting clearly wasn¡¯t the handwriting of Ye Chuan, was her grandfather Zhu Guohong¡¯s handwriting. ¡®Today this rear mountain is named as Heavenly Dragon Peak, and it is bestowed to sect¡¯s Big Disciple Ye Chuan. He will be the first generation master of the Heavenly Dragon Peak. He has the authority to transfer any resources of the sect to build Heavenly Dragon Peak and Heavenly Dragon Courtyard!¡¯ And this letter was signed by not only Great Elder Zho Guohong, unexpectedly was also signed by Second Elder Nangong Ren, and the date when this letter was written was just yesterday night. Grandfather and Second Elder already knows? Also granted authority to move any resources within the sect? Zhu Sijia was shocked, and soon, she came to her senses, and felt as if she was again cheated by Ye Chuan. Obviously, the reason for the move of Ye Chuan was absolutely not like the rumor outside, he moved to Heavenly Dragon Peak, not to make a place to cultivate elite disciples, instead there must be a hidden secret for him to move here despite the danger of Evil Dragon Abyss! ¡°That bastard, heartless bastard!¡± Zhu Sijia stomped her feet, then throwing away the letter and envelope to one side, she wiped the tears from her face, and then left, feeling so angry that she gritted her teeth. This Ye Chuan, he unexpectedly had such a big secret hidden from her, and here she became so sad and shed tears for him in vain, truly deceiving people without blinking, making her angry to death! 700 li from this place, when Zhu Sijia left panting with rage, Ye Chuan was lurking in a bamboo forest, quietly advancing forward. In front of him, roughly 20 meters away on the rock, there stood a red-beaked parrot. With the privilege issued jointly by Great Elder and Second Elder, Ye Chuan was in no hurry to build Heavenly Dragon Peak and Heavenly Dragon Courtyard, rather he went deep into Cloud Mist Mountain Range. His targets were not powerful yao beasts hidden in the depth of Cloud Mist Mountain range, and also not a kind of powerful wilderness mutants species, rather were vole, owl, and so on common little animals. Without any preparation, if he built Heavenly Dragon Peak, then that definitely will attract the suspicion of observant and conscientious people and spies, moreover, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have time to lay out large-scale restriction too, so now what he needed the most was some little fellows to guard the mountain, some inconspicuous little fellows to lookout. In many cases, these kind of little fellows were more effective than yao beasts. Stealthily moving and arriving within 10 meters of the parrot, Ye Chuan took a deep breath, and he suddenly jumped out. The red beaked parrot staying on the rock immediately reacted, suddenly crying out in alarm, it spread its winds and putting forth its strength, it flapped its wings, charging into the air. A pair of big hands suddenly chased after the flying parrot and caught its legs. Ye Chuan had prepared in advance, and with his instant burst of speed, the red-beaked parrot basically didn¡¯t have time to escape. Circulating his technique, he forced out a drop of essence blood, then with a flash of cyan light, tamed parrot entered into Cyan Lotus Lamp. After that, resting for a little while, he went deeper into the forest looking for the next target. In Wilderness World, some people forcibly fuse with yao beasts, changing into the appearance of yao beast; also some people that tame a powerful yao beast and treat it as a powerful battle pet. But, Ye Chuan was different, after taming the yao beasts using Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing technique, he not only wanted them as a capable assistance in the battlefield, or only his eyes and ears, but wanted them to become the part of his body, and become able to freely manipulate as his own hands and legs. In the past lifetime, relying on his steel-like determination and powerful cultivation, he crushed and killed his opponents, only concealing the heaven with his hand. But in this lifetime, he had Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique which was even better than Heaven Concealing Tecnhique, and with more and more powerful yao beasts¡¯ legion, what kind of pinnacle will he step into? Ye Chuan pressed onward towards the depth of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, his steps were steady. As the cultivation progress, there will be more and more enemies, and they will also be more and more powerful, but he was not afraid, instead was full of expectation and hope for the future. Chapter 125: Stupid bird Chapter 125: Stupid bird Third Elder Bai Yanhu was very vexed and was frowning. Late at night, all the mountain peaks of Cloud Mist Sect were quiet, but inside the grand and broad White Tiger Hall of White Tiger Mountain Peak, Third Elder Bai Yanhu however was frowning and was walking back and forth. Three days had passed since the news of Ye Chuan suddenly moving to the rear mountain and naming it Heavenly Dragon Peak had spread, but he was feeling fidgety and had been frowning all along. Without much thinking, he felt that this was strange, and there was an indistinct unease in his heart. He didn¡¯t want Purple Cloud Peak which had dense worldly spiritual qi, and ran to the rear mountain peak where even birds didn¡¯t shit, moreover, cultivating beside Evil Dragon Abyss, did Ye Chuan went crazy or was he plain stupid? No, that brat is not only not stupid, but is also very cunning. Just looking at how he did in the Great Competition of three sects, Bai Yanhu knew that. Even Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong wasn¡¯t able to seize any advantage in front of him. He could well imagine how cunning that brat was. He appeared so straightforward person on the surface, but in fact was an incomparably cunning fellow. Why did he suddenly moved to the rear mountain? What on earth did he want to do? Third Elder Bai Yanhu¡¯s complexion was gloomy. The more he thought, the more he found this strange. These two days, he had already sent several trusted subordinates to spy on Heavenly Dragon Peak, but all without exception disappeared without any reply. It appeared as if they had suddenly faded away in the air, but also seemed to have fallen into the Evil Dragon Abyss. Now, this uninhabited rear mountain of former days was hundred times more dangerous than before. But strangely, the ordinary disciples of the sect could stroll around and return without any problem. All said that there was nothing unusual on the peak, and there was just a nothing special, simple and crude log cabin. Creating such a big movement only to build a log cabin beside Evil Dragon Abyss, how could that be? Third Elder Bai Yanhu found this hard to believe. The more people say that there was nothing unusual in Heavenly Dragon Peak, the more unease his heart felt. Finally in the latter half the night, it got darker and darker, the sky was densely covered with dark cloud, and moonlight became dimmer. At this time, looking at the sky, Third Elder Bai Yanhu who was pacing back and forth suddenly wore a big bamboo hat and flew out. After repeatedly considering, he was still unable to be at ease, so he decided to take advantage of this dark and windy night to personally take a trip and have a look at what trick Ye Chuan had in Heavenly Dragon Peak with his own eyes! The rear mountain named Heavenly Dragon Peak had officially entered the domain of the sect, so there were disciples patrolling the mountain. Even this late at night, there was often someone with torch moving back and forth on the foot of this Heavenly Dragon Peak. It was guarded strictly, but to stop an expert of Daoist Master realm, the cultivation of these guards were still far from sufficient. Bai Yanhu just like his name (lit. White Rock Tiger), although his body was very thin, but just like a fierce tiger going down the hill moved as if wind. He easily passed through the line of defense in the foot of the mountain. Then he calmly looked at the mountain peak shrouded in dim moonlight and advanced forward. But before he took few steps, he suddenly stopped his steps, and he stared at the bush not far away, his eyes shining with pallid light. Meow! A big white cat jumped out from the bush, and fleeing into the dark, it disappeared. Bai Yanhu relaxed and continued to move forward. Just now, he thought that he had encountered a powerful hidden lookout, but outside his expectation, it was just a stray cat. He was groundlessly nervous. Bai Yanhu secretly accelerated his steps, but before he walked far, he suddenly stopped again. Now, his left leg had stepped on the ground and right leg was still in the air, he was so tense that he didn¡¯t dare to step, and his killing intent soared. After that with a rustling sound, from under the pile of dead leaves under his right foot, a hairy mouse bore out. This fellow still seemed to have not woken up completely, but also appeared to be badly scared of invisible killing intent. After that, it clumsily looked all around for a while, then unexpectedly drilled back into the dead leaves and hide away. ¡°This stupid mouse!¡± Bai Yanhu was somewhat furious, he had seen many mice, but he never had such stupid encounter like this. He suppressed his impulse to trample it to death with great difficulty, then continued to advance forward. Encountering two false alarm in succession when going up the mountain, his hear became increasingly unhappy, but he still diligently rushed forward. Fortunately, it was unhindered this time, in one breath, he dashed halfway up a hill. ¡°Old fellow, stop!¡± Just when the speed of Bai Yanhu reached the peak, and was preparing to rush to the mountain peak like this, a hoarse voice suddenly came through the dark. ¡°Who?¡± Bai Yanhu suddenly stopped his steps and he became tense. Moreover, black light circulated in his fingertip, making preparation to use a deadly attack. He had already attained the highest degree of perfection in cultivating Evil Wind Finger, and if he went all-out, then even Great Elder Zhu Guohong wouldn¡¯t dare to take it head-on. Moreover, he was confident to defeat any opponent in the same realm as he was. ¡°Old fellow, are you tired with living?¡± The hoarse voice resounded again. The complexion of Bai Yanhu changed greatly. Even after he sent out his divine sense, he unexpectedly discovered nothing, not even a trace of the opponent. Expert! A super expert of later stage of Daoist Master realm or peak Daoist Master realm? Bai Yanhu sweated profusely, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Now, he was unable to suppress his nervousness and got more and more nervous. If the opponent was only one or two ranks higher than him, then that person absolutely wouldn¡¯t be able to thoroughly hide like this in front of him, obviously, he encountered an extremely powerful expert tonight! Most likely, he was the expert Ye Chuan had invited to help, or might even be his backer the legendary Dark Raven Demon King! Bai Yanhu became pale and suddenly recalling the reply letter of Rain Demon, he had no doubts that the unusual behavior of Ye Chuan of this time was associated with this. No wonder, Ye Chuan, this fellow who was uncommunicative and low-key even to the extent that he let people bully him in former days, recently however made a display of his ability. As it turned out, he had really went and seek refuge with great demon king in secret! And suddenly moving to the rear mountain was also for the sake of making things convenient to meet with great demon king, and avoid the ears and eyes of people! Bai Yanhu suddenly saw the light immediately understanding the true reason behind him moving to the rear mountain. With the help of such great demon king in secret, no wonder, his scheme failed repeatedly, and his disciple Yi Suo as well as Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun lost under his hand! Whoosh! Bai Yanhu kept his mouth shut, after understanding what was going on with the rear mountain, he turned around and fled! Dark Raven Demon King¡¯s ferocious name was illustrious, he however was the great leader of all the demonic cultivators of Dark Fire Continent. Legend states that his cultivation was infinitely close to Sage realm! Facing such kind of great demon king, Bai Yanhu who was confident to kill the opponent of the same realm didn¡¯t even think about fighting, he immediately fled! Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, with this kind of cultivation level, he would walk unhindered within Cloud Mist Mountain Range, but in front of Dark Raven Demon King, he was not even enough to fill up the gap of his teeth. Even Rank 6 Daoist Master realm Rain Demon wasn¡¯t his opponent, he could well imagine how strong his opponent was! ¡°Old fellow, where are you running?¡± The hoarse voice resounded again in the dark which seemed to be following him as if a shadow. Bai Yanhu was half dead with fright, without turning his head, he crawled and rolled down the mountain. When coming, he had a well-thought-out plan, but when going, he was scared witless, completely throwing off the demeanor of the elder. He fled all the way down to the foot of the mountain, and seeing the torches of patrolling guards, he slightly composed himself. And on the halfway up the mountain, seeing Third Elder Bai Yanhu¡¯s miserable back view, Ye Chuan came out from the dark and he had an evil smile on his face. Then he whistled, and a red-beaked parrot flew over from the top of a tree and landed on his left shoulder. ¡°Old fellow, stop!¡± ¡°Old fellow, are you tired of living?¡± ¡°Old fellow, where are you running?¡± The red-beaked parrot called out nonstop, its voice was hoarse and carried slight coldness. Only after Ye Chuan gave it a piece of meat, it swallowed it down and stop calling out. As an elder, Bai Yanhu was powerful, but not even being able to sense the trace of his opponent, he thought that his opponent was the legendary Dark Raven Demon King, so fled in fear. He never thought that that hoarse voice was coming out from the mouth of a red-beaked parrot, and he basically ignored this parrot standing on the treetop. If he knew that he was scared away by a bird tonight, then how sullen his heart would become! ¡°This stupid bird!¡± Ye Chuan sneered, then retreating into the dark, he disappeared and went to continue his cultivation. Chapter 126: Surprising changes Chapter 126: Surprising changes Returning to White Tiger Mountain, Third Elder Bai Yanhu sat in White Tiger Hall, looking worried. Tonight, he had taken action in person but returned in a sorry figure. The circumstance was worse than he had ever expected. With great demon king as a backer, the cultivation as well as the prestige of Ye Chuan will definitely grow with each passing day. Like this, no need to talk about Ye Chuan firmly sitting in the position of sect¡¯s Big Disciple, before long, he would truly take charge of a section becoming his formidable adversary. At that time, even if he wanted to, could he be able to get rid of him? Could it be that he had to helplessly look at Ye Chuan gradually grasping the power of the sect and shatter his plan just like this? Bai Yanhu¡¯s complexion was overcast and his eyebrows twisted. Before taking the action, he had doubts, and he was walking back and forth in dysphoria. But now that he had personally made a trip to Heavenly Dragon Peak and understood what was going on, he worriedly sat on the chair of White Tiger Hall. Letting Ye Chuan left to grow strong, not only was as simple as voiding all of his schemes to control Cloud Mist Sect, the Dark Underworld Emissary would also not let him off. At that time, waiting for him was not only people rebelling and friends deserting, perhaps he would also die! No, I cannot helplessly watch that brat Ye Chuan getting strong like this! Absolutely cannot! Bai Yanhu suddenly stood up, then gnashing his teeth, his face twisted looking ferocious. Now, his eyes flashed with an ominous glint, quickly thinking of an insane idea. Then with a clap of his hand, a guard entered and bowed. ¡°Little Seven, come here!¡± Bai Yanhu waved his hand making this guard walk over, then he whispered the instruction in his ear. The guard Little Seven was respectful and didn¡¯t dare to disobey. But after listening to the instruction, his complexion changed, and was panic-stricken, ¡°Third¡­¡­, Third elder, I¡­¡­¡± ¡°What, you don¡¯t dare?¡± Bai Yanhu coldly smiled and said sinisterly, ¡°How did I treated you usually, you are very clear in your heart, now what, I want you to do this minor matter, but are you going to push it to Third or Fourth?¡± ¡°Third Elder, that¡­¡­, how is that a minor matter? If people got the wind of this, I¡­..¡± Little Seven sweated profusely and didn¡¯t dare to agree. ¡°Why are you afraid of people knowing this? Let me think, ten years ago, what was the name of that young female disciple, it was Qing something, how did she die? A few years ago, didn¡¯t disciple Qing Hong accidentally fell down from the cliff? Moreover, just a few months ago, when Ye Chuan and others went to pick medicinal herbs, who suddenly ambushed them?¡± Bai Yanhu sinisterly stared at Little Seven as if a fierce tiger with its stomach rumbling with hunger, making him feel nervous. Pausing for a bit, he patted the shoulder of this guard Little Seven and said: ¡°Little Seven, you have to understand that we are in the same boat. If I do not do well, then you will also have to suffer. Rest assured, take action freely, I will handle everything else.¡± The guard Little Seven became pale, and in front of Third Elder Bai Yanhu who was watching him intently, he sweated profusely. He remained silent for a long time, and he finally nodded his head reluctantly, and said deciding to risk everything ¡°Fine, rest assured, elder.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, after this matter is done, you will be rewarded greatly. Go!¡± Bai Yanhu waved his hand, then sitting on the chair of White Tiger Hall, he closed his eyes and rest. The guard Little Seven bowed and retreated, leaving the White Tiger Hall. Soon, he led several capable subordinates with their face covered, quietly leaving White Tiger Mountain. Before dawn, when the world was dead silent, from the direction of Alchemy Hall, suddenly a series of loud explosion sound came, then ear deafening screaming sound resounded. Dozens of Alchemy Buildings of Alchemy Hall, all without exception were caught in a fire, and the flame soared. ¡°Assassins, there are assassins, catch them!¡± ¡°Alchemy furnaces exploded, all of them exploded!¡± ¡­¡­¡­.. The disciples of Alchemy Hall made an uproar in panic. The guards and disciples who had rushed over after hearing the new also became pale. The large fire was quickly extinguished, and there wasn¡¯t much loss in pills, but the broken alchemy furnaces were beyond repair. Thirteen earth grade alchemy furnaces, all without exception were destroyed! This news spread throughout Cloud Mist Sect, alarming everyone. Even those who were in the seclusion cultivation came out in succession. The matter was quickly investigated and made clear, in the large fire, disciples found several corpses of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s disciples, clearly, this was a direct attack on Cloud Mist Sect. This was a serious attack on the moral and faith of Cloud Mist Sect. The alchemy furnaces that were destroyed weren¡¯t ordinary alchemy furnaces, rather were earth grade alchemy furnaces refined by Item Refining Great Master. Each one had thousand or even several tens of thousands years of history, and was passed down from generation to generation. Now, all of a sudden, all 13 earth grade alchemy furnaces were destroyed, how could they refine pills, moreover, how will they complete the task of Da Qin King. Hearing the news, Great Elder also rushed over with ice-cold complexion, his heart was heavy as if weighed down by a boulder. Although the fire had already been extinguished, but dark smoke was still billowing in the sky of Alchemy Hall. All the disciples were silent here, and the atmosphere was very heavy. More and more people gathered, but the silence reigns on the scene, and everyone felt heavy pressure in their heart. They had just won the Great Competition of three sects, and Cloud Mist Sect had just shown the symptom of revival, but in the blink of an eye, gloomy clouds covered densely, making the circumstance incomparably serious. The guards that were responsible to guard alchemy furnaces were quickly tied up and all of them were thrown into the prison, waiting for a trail. Now all of them could only wait for the severe punishment, but, this was useless. When the sky slightly brightened, all the higher ups and elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect gathered at Cloud Mist Hall to discuss countermeasures. Ye Chuan who was cultivating in Heavenly Dragon Peak also rushed over after hearing this news. Third Elder Bai Yanhu also came, and like others, he was also solemn. ¡°What happened, I presume everybody already knows that, Jiajia, speak the current situation of Alchemy Hall.¡± Great Elder instructed Zhu Sijia in a heavy tone. Zhu Sijia stood up, since the time Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun had disappeared, she managed all the odd jobs of Alchemy Hall for the time being. ¡°At the moment, we have a single heaven grade pill, Pure Yang Pill, 80 earth grade pills, 2,000 black grade pills, and 6,000 yellow grade pills. Roughly completely only one-third of the task of Da Qin King, and we have only one month time left.¡± After speaking, Zhu Sijia quietly retreated and the hall became silent once again. Even one half of the task wasn¡¯t complete but they had already spent 5 months of time, leaving only last one month. The situation was incomparably worse than expected. Even if the Alchemy Hall was functioning normally, finishing the task would have been very difficult, and now, with all 13 alchemy furnaces destroyed, suffering the attack of the opponent, what should they do? Everyone had gloomy complexion and were tense. Soon after the new Da Qin King ascended the throne, when he was talking about the matters in high-spirit, moreover, when he had just annexed South Barbarian King, he attempted to dip his finger in cultivating sect with a spirit that conquers mountain and rivers. At that time, the Great Qin army drowned those many sects that unwilling to submit. Now this time, if they weren¡¯t able to accomplish the task, wouldn¡¯t that attract a fatal disaster? Inside Cloud Mist Hall, the atmosphere got more and more stifling. Third Elder Bai Yanhu lowered his head, seemingly crestfallen and was at his wits¡¯ end, but he was sneering in secret, coldly looking at Ye Chuan. As if sensing his gaze, Ye Chuan looked over, and this old man immediately put on a heavy face. Chapter 127: Old dog’s sinister move Chapter 127: Old dog¡¯s sinister move Ye Chuan looked at the pretentious Third Elder Bai Yanhu, and became lost in thought. This accident came too suddenly. Black Cauldron Sect and Cloud Mist Sect had always been completely incompatible as fire and water, moreover, Sect Master Tuoba Xiong had always been handling affairs by fair means or foul, so sending out people to do this kind of things wasn¡¯t surprising. But what was surprising was, Cloud Mist Sect had layer upon layer of defense restrictions, moreover many patrolling guards too, so how could the people of Black Cauldron Sect quietly sneak in, and succeed so easily without obstruction? ¡°Can it be that, Bai Yanhu, this dog¡­¡­¡± Ye Cuan looked Bai Yanhu up and down, secretly deducing in his heart. If outsiders wanted to enter secretly and destroy, then they need to pass through layer upon layer of checkpoints, but it was different if there was a traitor! Ye Chuan saw the light, the more he thought the surer he was of his deduction. Yi Suo died, Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun had also died, leaving behind Bai Yanhu with little time. So this old fellow would certainly be unable to control himself from taking action, this point, Ye Chuan had already expected. He had spread voles, owls, red-beaked parrot and so on little animals all over the Heavenly Dragon Peak, not only to guard against that mysterious and unpredictable Sea Demon, even more, was to guard against this old man Bai Yanhu. And in fact, that turned out to be truly effective, with the help of Dark Raven Demon King¡¯s false reputation, he was able to completely frighten this old fellow. Ye Chuan had already made preparation, but still he hadn¡¯t thought that Bai Yanhu would unexpectedly do this kind of thing. If this matter was not handled carefully, Cloud Mist Sect would not only simply suffer serious injury, even might be ruined in the hands of people of this generation. Didn¡¯t this old man want to usurp the authority and control the sect? Doing this, isn¡¯t he worried about not owning a thing, and obtaining only an empty shell? Insane, this old dog is truly insane! Ye Chuan maintained his composure on the surface, but secretly he was full of killing intent, and regretted that he didn¡¯t think of a way to kill Bai Yanhu as early as possible. Although he was prepared in advance, but he still underestimated this insane old dog! ¡°Let¡¯s see, what should we do next?¡± Great Elder Zhu Guohong who was silent for a long time finally spoke, and sweeping his eyes over the people, his gaze stopped at Second Elder Nangong Ren and he said: ¡°Nangong, speak, tell us your views.¡± ¡°The most pressing matter of the moment is sending someone to go to the capital and request an audience with Da Qin King, then request him to reduce or waive the task, or, at least postponed the task to next year, winning over valuable time.¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren said, his complexion was solemn, completely different from his former appearance when he only paid attention to the matters of growing medicinal herbs. ¡°Yes, go to the capital to see Da Qin King!¡± ¡°This is the only way!¡± The eyes of people shone and chimed in in succession. ¡°Well, then who will go?¡± Great Elder Zhu Guohong nodded his head. Cloud Mist Hall instantly became silent again. This mission of going to the capital was very significant, moreover, whoever took this mission, that person was very likely to never return. The words of the monarch were of enormous weight, after the sect had already agreed to deliver within half a year, how could the monarch easily agree to the delay of Cloud Mist Sect? The people who go to the capital to pleaded for mercy, before they could finish speaking, they might be put out in the noon and beheaded, even high-level cultivation realm would be of no use. The capital was the place with hidden dragon and crouching tiger, moreover, Da Qin King had many experts beside him. Before and after ascending the throne, no one knows how many experts he had recruited, so even if an expert of Daoist Master realm went, he might not even be able to escape unscathed. Ye Chuan was also silent, secretly looking at Third Elder Bai Yanhu. The aim of this old man is certainly not destroying the alchemy furnaces in itself, it is to seize the opportunity to make things difficult and get rid of me. Obviously, this is his scheme. Well, now the opportunity has come to make me go to the capital. Like this, he can calmly get rid of me, his threat, borrowing the knife! Sure enough, Third Elder Bai Yanhu stood up, and looking at the people all around, his gaze stopped for a moment on Ye Chuan and he said: ¡°Great Elder, Going to the capital and facing the Sage isn¡¯t simple, I fear average people cannot handle this, it¡¯s impossible for the people without the ability to assume responsibility to accomplish this. In my view¡­¡­, other than Great Elder yourself, no one else is qualified!¡± What? All the people inside Cloud Mist Hall create the commotion. Everybody was startled. After Sect Master had left, Great Elder had done his best to hold up the heavy burden to take direct charge of the sect for many years. If he also encountered any mishaps in the capital, then wouldn¡¯t it be¡­¡­ People were shocked but thinking about this carefully, Third Elder Bai Yanhu¡¯s words were also reasonable. Going to the capital to request reduce or waive task or postpone, only Great Elder Zhu Guohong had this ability, also only if he went personally, that would have enough weight. Otherwise, if they send only young disciples to go, then perhaps they would die without even seeing Da Qin King¡¯s face. Looking at Bai Yanhu, Ye Chuan was very surprised in his heart. He had basically thought that this old man would seize this chance to frame him, but to his surprise, he unexpectedly suggested Great Elder go to the capital. Could it be that he was over suspicious? Or, this old dog still had some other despicable scheme? ¡°Fine, I will personally go to the capital! During the time I am absent in the sect, Second Elder will lead the sect, no one is allowed to disobey!¡± Great Elder Zhu Guohong pondered for a while, and made a prompt decision. ¡°Great Elder, this still won¡¯t do.¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu¡¯s eyes flashed with pallid light, then looking at Great Elder Zhu Guohong, he said: ¡°Putting hope only on brutal Da Qin King, the risk is too big, we must plan for the aftermath in case the task of the capital is failed.¡± ¡°Speak directly.¡± Great Elder Guohong directly said, taking a decisive action in a complex situation. Bai Yanhu looked at the people all around once again and said: ¡°To complete the task of Da Qin King, we still have a way, immediately look for substitute alchemy furnaces. Earth grade alchemy furnaces are hard to find, and there is also not much time to find. But we can send some people to go and look for our former days¡¯ ally, Heavenly Yao Sect, and borrow Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s treasure, Heaven Burning Furnace. That however is Heaven grade alchemy furnace passed down from millions of years. As long as we borrow it, no need to talk about a month, half a month is more than enough to fulfill the task!¡± Heavenly Yao Sect? The complexion of Great Elder Zhu Guohong and Second Elder Nangong Ren changed, and especially Great Elder Zhu Guohong, his complexion was gloomy. If they could borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, then that naturally would be the best, as the problem in front of would be solved easily. The problem was, who would go to borrow Heaven Burning furnace? Very long time ago, when Cloud Mist Sect was the foremost sect of Heavenly Fire Continent, Heavenly Yao Sect was merely a small sect attached to Cloud Mist Sect. Later, Cloud Mist Sect began to decline, and two sects stood on the equal footing, so they became allies. Again later, Cloud Mist Sect steadily deteriorated until it could not even maintain its control over the complete area of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, then with the rise and development of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, Cloud Mist Sect fell even lower. But, Heavenly Yao Sect however firmly keep on making progress and was like the sun at high noon, nowadays, it faintly showed the sign of becoming the foremost sect of the Heavenly Fire Continent. These two sects had no dealings with each other for many years, and they don¡¯t know whether Heavenly Yao Sect had already thrown away the treaty of alliance or not, and Cloud Mist Sect was also ashamed to claim a connection with the people in the higher level. If they went there to borrow one or two ordinary treasures with thick-face, then considering the relation of former days, and also considering their sect¡¯s reputation, Heavenly Yao Sect might lend them. But what was Heaven Burning Furnace? That however was Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s defining treasure ever since the ancient times, legend says that, it suppress the destiny of Heavenly Yao Sect, and only on one day of each year when they offer sacrifices, they would bring it out. Hastily go to borrow, what¡¯s the possibility? Great Elder Zhu Guohong remained silent, didn¡¯t speak for a long time. The purpose of Third Elder Bai Yanhu was good, unfortunately, the difficulty to accomplish was too hard, even harder than going to the capital and face the Sage. The person that went to Heavenly Yao Sect to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, no need to mention about being ridiculed, under the rage of the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, they might tear apart that person, and shatter his soul! Chapter 128: Then I will not be polite Chapter 128: Then I will not be polite After a good while, Great Elder Zhu Guohong broke the silence: ¡°Third Elder, then, who will go to Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± Despite the small hope, this task nevertheless was weighty, so Great Elder Zhu Guohong decided that this task should be tried as far as possible. Third Elder Bai Yanhu didn¡¯t answer immediately, rather slowly glanced at the people around. And all the people inside the Cloud Mist Hall became nervous. It¡¯s coming! This was the true sinister move of this old man, wanted to borrow the hand of Heavenly Yao Sect to kill him! Ye Chuan¡¯s mind moved at lightning speed, quickly seeing through the true aim of Third Elder Bai Yanhu. Sure enough, after looking at all people, the gaze of Bai Yanhu stopped on Ye Chuan for a moment, and in that an instant, a cold sinister and ruthless sneer flashed on his face, then pretending to ponder, he turned to look at Great Elder Zhu Guohong and said, ¡°Great Elder, only you are qualified to go to the capital and face the Sage, and for the business of Heavenly Yao Sect, similarly only one person is qualified, that person needs to have outstanding courage and boldness, also needs to have enough weight, that person is¡­¡­, sect¡¯s Big Disciple Ye Chuan!¡± Everybody of Cloud Mist Hall simultaneously looked towards Ye Chuan. Third Elder Bai Yanhu had said something startling, but indeed was reasonable. During the struggle of Black Cauldron Sect when they come to form an alliance by marriage, as well as in the Great Competition of three sects of not long ago, Ye Chuan had displayed the integrity of Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, and also had both courage and cunning. If they want to send someone from the younger disciples to Heavenly Yao Sect, then Ye Chuan really was the best choice! ¡°No, definitely not!¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren suddenly stood up and said: ¡°Ye Chuan is the future hope of our Cloud Mist Sect, and is also the next Sect Master, we cannot let him have any mishaps. Great Elder, you go to the capital, as for Heavenly Yao Sect, I will go. Thinking about it, I haven¡¯t gone down the mountain for many years.¡± Perhaps because he had seen through the scheme of Third Elder Bai Yanhu or perhaps because he was worried that Ye Chuan might meet with a mishap, Second Elder Nangong Ren suddenly stood up to oppose. The face of Third Elder Bai Yanhu suddenly sunk and he coldly said: ¡°Second senior apprentice-brother, you cannot, with your wisdom and boldness, expecting you to go to Heavenly Yao Sect and return borrowing Heaven Burning Furnace, it¡¯s a bit off.¡± ¡°Fine, I cannot, then you can, you go!¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren opposed with equal harshness, and he was so angry that he was about to flip out. He couldn¡¯t endure at all. The complexion of Third Elder Bai Yanhu became even more unsightly, snorting, he suppressed the impulse to fight with Second Elder Nangong Ren, and swallowing an impulse, he looked towards Ye Chuan and said: ¡°As a sect¡¯s Big Disciple, in the critical moment, you have to choose to take heavy burden. In any case, Ye Chuan, do you dare to go or not? Do you truly want to hide behind the elders all the time?¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu was unable to find a way to deal with absolutely lawless Second Elder Nangong Ren, so he had to direct the spearhead towards Ye Chuan. Together with Great Elder Zhu Guohong, all the people in this hall simultaneously looked towards Ye Chuan again, thinking how he would answer. ¡°Honestly speaking, I truly don¡¯t dare.¡± Ye Chuan honestly nodded his head, then calmly facing Bai Yanhu¡¯s question, he looked at the people all around and said, ¡°How is current Cloud Mist Sect and how is current Heavenly Yao Sect, Third Elder, you should also understand it very clearly. Moreover, I am just a trifling Rank 1 Xiushi realm disciple, I am not even enough to fill the gaps of the teeth of their guards. But, what Third Elder has said is also correct, as the sect¡¯s Big Disciple, in the critical times, I have to stand out to take the heavy responsibility, so even if this Heavenly Yao Sect is dangerous, I have to go. Naturally, I also have a request.¡± ¡°What request, speak!¡± Third Elder Bai Yanhu asked quickly, he didn¡¯t want to give Ye Chuan any chance to back out. As long as he accepted the task in public, Ye Chuan was screwed, doomed to be gone forever. ¡°My request is simple, Heavenly Yao Sect is very far away, so I need an expert to escort me throughout the journey. Third Elder, I see your cultivation is pretty good, and you are also very experienced, how about you lead the group on this trip of Heavenly Yao Sect? Ye Chuan said sincerely, but was sneering in his heart. The complexion of Bai Yanhu suddenly changed. Lead the group going to Heavenly Yao Sect, at that time, when Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts got angry, the overwhelming majority of the fury will come down in torrents on him, this elder. Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t die, but he, the elder will definitely kick the bucket first. ¡°No, I can¡¯t go!¡± Bai Yanhu flatly refused, and said with stern righteousness, ¡°Great Elder will leave, Second Elder alone can¡¯t prop up a tottering building, I need to stay to assist Second Elder. Otherwise, if that old fellow Tuoba Xiong heard this news, then he will seize this chance to come and destroy the foundation of our Cloud Mist Sect in one fell swoop. At that time, even if we were able to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, it would be meaningless.¡± He obviously didn¡¯t dare to go to Heavenly Yao Sect, but here this Bai Yanhu was speaking with stern righteousness, so shameless. But, those words also sounded somewhat reasonable. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia secretly pulled the sleeve of Ye Chuan, signaling he should seize this chance to find an excuse to decline. The task of Heavenly Yao Sect was too dangerous, just thinking about it made her worried. ¡°Junior apprentice-sister, don¡¯t stop me, I will definitely go to this Heavenly Yao Sect. Master has difficulty, and as sect¡¯s Big Disciple, at this moment, how can I dilly-dally?¡± Ye Chuan not only didn¡¯t find an excuse to evade, instead he accepted loudly, making Zhu Sijia so angry that stamped her feet, then pausing for a bit, he turned around and said: ¡°Since Third Elder has a grave responsibility and you are unable to go, I will also not make things difficult, but, I have a small prerequisite, request elders to satisfy it.¡± ¡°What prerequisite?¡± Bai Yanhu struck while the iron was still hot. ¡°Ye Chuan looked at Bai Yanhu and said indifferently, ¡°This trip to Heavenly Yao Sect is too dangerous, since there is no expert to escort me, I need to refine a cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid to quickly strengthen my body. I have already prepared the main herb, and only need few supplementary herbs. Great Elder, I heard you have ten thousand years old tortoise shells, it happens to be useful for reining the Grand Medicinal Liquid. Second Elder, I want your that eight hundred years old water lily, it just happens to be useful to well distribute the efficacy of the medicinal liquid. Third Elder, I heard you have a bottle of nine thousand years old Dragon Saliva Ointment, can you bestow it to me?¡± Bai Yanhu had a whole bag of tricks, but Ye Chuan was also long been prepared. He took this chance to propose the request. After the reincarnation, he chose to lie low in Cloud Mist Sect, on one side was to be familiar to this ancient sect, and be able to use the status of this sect¡¯s Big Disciple. On the other hand, it was also because he had taken a fancy to Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s great verity of pills and medicinal herbs. Moreover, he knew that they were in the possession of elders, so unusually it was not good to demand them, but now, it just happens to be a good opportunity. Refine a cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid? The experts of Cloud Mist Sect exclaimed in unison. Cloud Mist Sect was famous for refining pills, but only some people knew that Cloud Mist Sect was even more skilled in refining Grand Medicinal Liquid that was capable of cleansing tendons and marrows. But, along with the decline of the sect, available resources became less and less, and most of the techniques to refine Medicinal King Liquid were also lost. The younger generation disciples didn¡¯t even hear about Grand Medicinal Liquid, but how did Ye Chuan know this? ¡°No problem, Ye Chuan, take it!¡± Great Elder Zhu Guohong took the lead to declare his position. With a flick of his finger, many pieces of ancient tortoise-shells fell on the palm of Ye Chuan. All the tortoise shells were different, they contained obscure energy fluctuation, obviously was the tortoise shells left behind by wilderness mutants. ¡°Humph, I knew you were keeping your eyes on that water lily, you can dig it out yourself!¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren also agreed with reluctant to part appearance. Now, only Third Elder remained, all the people of Cloud Mist Sect simultaneously looked at Bai Yanhu. The complexion of this fellow was gloomy, Ye Chuan wanted to refine Grand Medicinal Liquid, but he also wanted. He had prepared this Dragon Saliva Ointment many years ago to refine a cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid, he wanted to refine it at the crucial moment to make a breakthrough. If he gave this to Ye Chuan, then wouldn¡¯t his preparation of several tens of years be wasted, moreover, wouldn¡¯t this serve as the wedding dress for Ye Chuan? Bai Yanhu didn¡¯t utter a sound, Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t speak, silently waiting with indifferent appearance. Inside Cloud Mist Hall, slowly it became noisy, the disciples began to talk in whispers. ¡°Fine, take it!¡± Soon, Bai Yanhu gritted his teeth and flickered his finger, giving away Dragon Saliva Ointment he had obtained with great hardship to Ye Chuan. His heart was bleeding, but on the surface, he had to assume a generous appearance. No one could say that he was unwell and in a bad mood, but for the overall situation, he had to part reluctantly with his treasure. Brat, I use a bottle of Dragon Saliva Ointment to exchange for your life! Bai Yanhu was furious in his heart, he hated Ye Chuan to the marrow of his bones. Even though he clearly knew that Ye Chuan was seizing the chance to extort, he still had to endure! ¡°Third Elder, do you want to reconsider? Even a normal Dragon Saliva Ointment is very rare, let alone nine thousand years old Dragon Saliva Ointment.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and said looking at Bai Yanhu who was angry in his heart. ¡°I said take it then take it, don¡¯t talk nonsense, just quickly set out to Heavenly Yao Sect to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, do not delay the important matter.¡± Bai Yanhu said suppressing the anger in his heart. The more he looked at Ye Chuan, the more he was not pleasing to his eyes. ¡°Fine, then I will not be polite. And as for going to Heavenly Yao Sect, I will leave tomorrow, now I am leaving first to prepare.¡± Ye Chuan kindly accepted, then took his leave. But when he was just about to exit Cloud Mist Hall, he suddenly turned around and looking towards Third Elder Bai Yanhu, he said: ¡°Third Elder, thank you for your support, later, when I need to refine any pills or Grand Medicinal Liquid, I will look for you again.¡± Finished speaking, Ye Chuan left with a smile, leaving behind Third Elder Bai Yanhu with a blackened face. After extorting a bottle of Dragon Saliva Ointment, he was still not satisfied, furthermore, there was also later. This completely broke his rhythm. No, must kill him as early as possible, the sooner the better! Third Elder Bai Yanhu panted in anger, the more he thought the more unwell he felt, and he also left hurriedly. A perfect scheme, because of Ye Chuan¡¯s sudden extortion, he had to bear the consequences, the more he thought the more upset he became. Chapter 129: Grand Medicinal Liquid Chapter 129: Grand Medicinal Liquid After leaving Cloud Mist Hall, Ye Chuan went straight the medicine field of Second Elder Nangong Ren, and dug out that eight hundred years old water lily, then quickly returned to the rear mountain Heavenly Dragon Peak beside Evil Dragon Abyss to refine a cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid. Originally, to refine Grand Medicinal Liquid, it not only needed the best medicinal herbs, but also needed the best alchemy furnaces as well as needed the best environment for bathing and dressing. But, because of time constraints, Ye Chuan was forced to adjust to local conditions. Flame Devil Yi Yangzi came over to help Ye Chuan with all his effort. Releasing purplish red flame from his palm, he heated the alchemy furnace until it was bright red. After resolving heart demon, not only he passed through the disaster, his cultivation also become more consummate, and his Divine Yang Body was also become more outstanding, indistinctly showing the signs of making a breakthrough. Pouring a refreshing and sweet Cloud Mist Mountain spring into the alchemy furnace, the mountain spring was heated until it boiled, then he slowly added Violet, Cyan Ginger Tree Juice, Golden Fruit and so on medicinal herbs in succession. And after stewing them for four hours, he added wilderness mutated tortoise shells powder, eight hundred years old water lily and Dragon Saliva Ointment he had extorted from Third Elder Bai Yanhu. After that, again stewing for four hours, he added saffron crocus, datura, clove and so on condiments. Ye Chuan sat cross-legged beside the alchemy furnace, adding all kinds of medicinal herbs one by one. He was very skilled, and frequently he would use a dao formula. The liquid inside the alchemy furnace slowly rotated, and rolled about. And all the medicinal herbs slowly fused together, accumulating pure worldly spiritual qi little by little. This was an ancient technique, because it required one to constantly pay attention to the changes inside the alchemy furnace, and make the appropriate adjustments in due course, millions of years ago, people called this technique Pill Frying Hand. Cloud Mist Sect once had many techniques to refine Grand Medicinal Liquid, but the major one was still this Pill Frying Hand. The founder Ghost Hand Medicinal King once was world-famous for attaining the highest degree of perfection in learning Pill Frying Hand, refining best pills and Grand Medicinal Liquid. But what people didn¡¯t know was, this technique of Ghost Hand Medicinal King which he was proud of was actually passed down to him by Ye Chuan. This technique had been passed down from generation to generation within Cloud Mist Sect, but later, Ye Chuan was trapped in God Burial Valley, Ghost Hand Medicinal King also disappeared without a trace, and all the sect¡¯s experts of former days died one after another, and slowly, this technique was lost. Finally, in this generation of Sect Master Yun Feiwu, the experts of Cloud Mist Sect only grasp few alchemy techniques. Flame Devil Yi Yangzi sat cross-legged on the opposite of Ye Chuan, and these two people were separated by burning red alchemy furnace. At the beginning, Flame Devil was calm, simply used All Direction Scorching Sun Technique to help Ye Chuan refine pills, but slowly he was shocked. He didn¡¯t understand the technique Ye Chuan used to refine Grand Medicinal Liquid, but he was sure of one thing, this technique was absolutely a kind of extremely brilliant technique. Such technique, he had never seen before! Common alchemy furnace, and even common medicinal herbs, under Ye Chuan¡¯s hand, they slowly passed through extraordinary refining process! Flame Devil who had once wandered around Heavenly Fire Continent for many years became more and more shocked seeing this. Inside the small log cabin, the fragrance got denser and denser. This fragrance spread out, floating beside Evil Dragon Abyss and spread all over the Heavenly Dragon Peak, and then even the entire Cloud Mist Sect. The patrolling guards at the foot of the mountain suddenly looked up, and all of them coincidentally took a deep breath. Within several towering peaks, Great Elder Zhu Guohong, Third Elder Bai Yanhu and others also smell this fragrance and all of them looked towards the direction of Heavenly Dragon Peak practically at the same time. Ye Chuan, is he truly refining a cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid? Several elders were startled simultaneously, they had thought that Ye Chuan was merely talking, but unexpectedly, he truly did that. In just these several hours, how did he accomplish it? Again reading the book? Did he discover a secret alchemy book left behind by an expert? Great Elder Zhu Guohong was lost in thoughts, Third Elder Bai Yanhu however had gloomy complexion. He wanted to go and secretly see what was going on, but thinking about his previous encounter with mysterious Dark Raven Demon King in the rear mountain, he had no choice but to dispel such thoughts, merely the more he thought, the more he was not reconciled. He had strained himself to the limit to obtain that bottle of Dragon Saliva Ointment, moreover, he had provoked many formidable enemies for this, and had expended nearly hundred years to kill all of them. This cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid with Dragon Saliva Ointment should be his, but to help Ye Chuan achieve his aim, he (Third Elder) had to pretend to be generous and give it to him, this furthermore made him even more dejected. Bang! The wine cup Third Elder Bai Yanhu was holding changed into fragments and he gnashed his teeth. In the rear mountain, Heavenly Dragon Peak, beside Evil Dragon Abyss. When Third Elder Bai Yanhu was gnashing his teeth, Ye Chuan was crowned with success. Now there was Grand Medicinal Liquid inside the cauldron, and Ye Chuan plunged into it. Instantly, Ye Chuan felt that every pore in his body opened up, and from all around, the efficacy of drug seeped into his skin, internal organs, bones and muscles. He felt inexplicably comfortable. Now, on his body, dark golden luster circulated. Muscles were quickly filled with blood and expanded. It seems under every inch of his muscles, there was a volcano, which wants to explode. When the muscle expanded to the limit, this state maintained for several breathe of time, then quickly shrunk, forcing out the impurities inside the skin and muscles. Next, the muscles slowly expanded again, beginning another cycle. This rapid muscle expansion and contraction process gave rise to the indistinct sonic boom sound, making Flame Devil Yi Yangzi who was standing at one side dumbstruck, and his heart also shook. On the basis of cultivation, Ye Chuan was merely Rank 1 Xiushi realm, this was simply not worth mentioning in the eyes of Flame Devil, but this cultivation technique of Ye Chuan, as well as the strength of his body made even him who was Rank 5 Daoist Master realm expert amazed. Ye Chuan had personally refined this cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid, emotionally affecting him endlessly. His body started to wriggle and he had a strong desire to jump into this cauldron. Ding! A crisp sound suddenly came from inside the body of Ye Chuan. The Buddha Bone Ring he was wearing on his finger which looked ordinary and mediocre suddenly emitted a luster and sitting and standing Buddha¡¯s phantoms appeared, some held an abstruse magic seal, some held a pagoda, and some were sitting cross-legged on the lotus throne. After that, ancient majestic energy fluctuation suddenly erupted, pouring into the body of Ye Chuan, furthermore, dignified low voiced Buddhist singing indistinctly resounded. This cauldron¡¯s steaming hot Grand Medicinal Liquid not only strengthened the body of Ye Chuan, but also truly activated the ancient Buddha Bone Ring he had robbed from the foreign loose cultivator! Ye Chuan closed his eyes, completely soaking in this streaming hot Grand Medicinal Liquid. His body was motionless, but dantian¡¯s qi cyclone was rotating rapidly, condensing more and more. In the blink of an eye, this qi cyclone changed its form thousands of time. Slowly, the qi cyclone began to calm down and it condensed in the indistinct form of Buddha phantom. This Buddha¡¯s facial feature was blurred, and the entire body was enveloped with an inexplicable nihility, but just condensed form contains boundless strength, when circulating it was as if bearing down with the weight of Mount Tai and when not circulating it was calm without a wave. Buddha Talisman! Third Heaven Swallowing Talisman, finally took shape. Strictly speaking, this still couldn¡¯t be counted as a real talisman. It was incomplete, could only be counted as a half talisman, but the strength however was strongest among all three Heaven Swallowing Talismans, exceeding both dragon-shaped talisman and skull-shaped talisman. Chapter 130: I want millennium disaster Chapter 130: I want millennium disaster After cultivating for a day and a night, early in the next morning, Ye Chuan leisurely woke up. A cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid, now there was only less than half left, and it was muddy and unclear. The efficacy of liquid had completely entered the body of Ye Chuan. ¡°Unfortunately, it was only a most ordinary Grand Medicinal King, it¡¯s a pity¡­.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then with rapt attention, he looked at three Heaven Swallowing Talismans slowly rotating in his dantian. Now his spirit was sturdy, and with just a thought he could let out his spirit without needing the help of Cyan Lotus Lamp and white sandalwood. Moreover, he had unconsciously broken through to Rank 2 Xiushi. One Heaven Swallowing Talisman gave 18,000 jin strength, now he had condensed three Heaven Swallowing Talismans, didn¡¯t that mean¡­¡­ Ye Chuan stretched out his two fingers, and use them to lift up this water vat like huge bronze cauldron. Huge bronze cauldron weighting several ten thousands jin was as light as feather to him. 54,000 jin! After the fusion of Buddha Bone Ring and Grand Medicinal Liquid¡¯s power, Ye Chuan condensed third Heaven Swallowing Talisman, in the space of a night, his physical strength increased by the additional entire 18,000 jin, reaching the terrifying 54,000 jin! Although his cultivation was not high and had just broken through to Rank 2 Xiushi, but his physical strength was already high above the cultivators of the same realm! Flame Devil who was standing at one side was dumbfounded. Pills were easy to find, but Grand Medicinal Liquids were more precious and rare. All under the heaven, only Cloud Mist Sect had the ability to refine it. Moreover, even within Cloud Mist Sect, very few experts grasp the technique to refine it. A cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid was very precious, but this was still a pity? Moreover, Ye Chuan, he still was complaining that this was insufficient? This drives people hopping mad to compare themselves with the luckier persons! Sure enough, even between two persons, they couldn¡¯t be compared very easily! Flame Devil Yi Yangzi shook his head and said: ¡°Noble son, these Grand Medicinal Liquids¡­¡­, do they also have grades?¡± ¡°Have, of course, they have, like treasures and pills, Grand Medicinal Liquids also have Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow grades. And this cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid is the simplest yellow grade Grand Medicinal Liquid.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said, the thing that made Flame Devil envy endlessly was nothing to him. This cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid was simple, lacking real worldly treasures, it was at most only a simplest yellow grade Grand Medicinal Liquid, nothing more. In his previous lifetime, when he was able to conceal the heaven with his hand, this kind of Grand Medicinal Liquid was basically something that he held in contempt, and had not much use too. One of his proposes to join Cloud Mist Sect was for Grand Medicinal Liquid too, but in fact, he didn¡¯t settle with yellow grade Grand Medicinal Liquid, rather he wanted heaven grade or legendary emperor grade Grand Medicinal Liquid. Now, it was merely the beginning that¡¯s all. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Flame Devil was speechless. Seeing the reaction of Flame Devil, Ye Chuan smiled, then wearing the clothes, he walked off, leaving behind the words: ¡°Yi Yangzi, I am going to Heavenly Yao Sect, perhaps it will be several days before I return. Carefully take care of that Heavenly Dragon Rice seed. A cauldron of Grand Medicinal Liquid truly is nothing, I can refine it at any time. In the future, I will refine much better Grand Medicinal Liquid, at that time, you will naturally get your share.¡± Ye Chuan slowly walked away, but disappeared in the blink of his eyes, going towards Cloud Mist Hall. Today was the day he had to set out towards Heavenly Yao Sect, and from early in the morning, perhaps, Great Elders and others were anxiously waiting for him. Heavenly Yao Sect? Flame Devil was shocked, and his body suddenly trembled. He wanted to chase after Ye Chuan and stop him, but Ye Chuan had already vanished. What type of place was Heavenly Yao Sect, why does Ye Chuan want to go to that place? Flame Devil was worried, in several tens of years when he had wandered around the continent, he did whatever he liked, but there were several places where he didn¡¯t dare to approach. Among them, one was well-known Heavenly Yao Sect. even if he was twice as strong, he wouldn¡¯t dare to act wildly in front of Heavenly Yao Sect who claimed to be the foremost sect of the continent, otherwise, he would always be frightened stiff, and he wouldn¡¯t know how he died. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t guess wrong, from early in the morning, Cloud Mist Hall was jam-packed with people. When Ye Chuan arrived, Great Elder, Third Elder and others were already present. ¡°Ye Chuan, for this task, I have prepared one protector of the sect to act as a guide. Speak, what else is your requirement, and who else do you want to take with you?¡± Great Elder Zhu Guohong straightforwardly said. After making the arrangement for Ye Chuan¡¯s trip to Heavenly Yao Sect, he also had to set out towards the capital and request an audience with Da Qin King. They must lose no time doing this. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I will go together with you!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, take me with you!¡± ¡­¡­ The disciples vied with each other, and rushed to the front of Ye Chuan in succession including fatty Zhao Dazhi and sect¡¯s genius Nan Tiandu, but, one person was the fastest among all of them. Zhu Sijia directly came to the front of Ye Chuan. She was wearing red battle armor and moccasins on foot. She appeared to be just like a crane standing among chickens in this hustling and bustling, and with a pair of big eyes, she continuously stared at Ye Chuan without words. Fatty and others retreated in unison as if they had a tacit agreement. ¡°I will go with you.¡± After a good while, Zhu Shijia finally broke the silence. Her beautiful face had a layer of frost, she was still angry, angry that Ye Chuan acted on his own without any prior discussion. But at this critical moment, she wanted to go together with Ye Chuan without the slightest hesitation. ¡°No!¡± Ye Chuan flatly refused. Hearing this the eyes of Zhu Sijia reddened and indistinct tears could be seen on the corner of her eyes. But Ye Chuan continued: ¡°Junior apprentice-sister, it¡¯s not like I don¡¯t want to bring you along, rather you are too beautiful, I am afraid that if I take you along, then I will be distracted en route.¡± Ye Chuan looked at graceful Zhu Sijia and had a bad smile on his face. This trip to Heavenly Yao Sect, compared to Great Competition of three sects, was even more dangerous, he naturally wouldn¡¯t take Zhu Sijia with him. Zhu Sijia looked at Ye Chuan, understanding his meaning, and knowing that he wouldn¡¯t change his mind, she had thousands and thousands of words in her heart, but she didn¡¯t know what to speak, so she just exhorted, ¡°Return alive!¡± ¡°Rest assured, good people don¡¯t live long, but bad people who want millennium disaster absolutely don¡¯t die.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, and he looked at Third Elder, then looked towards Great Elder sitting on the high platform and said: ¡°Third Elder¡¯s cultivation is powerful and he is also very experienced, of course, if he could lead the way, it would be best. But, since he as an elder wants to stay, making other younger generation disciples follow me also isn¡¯t that effective. Great Elder, I don¡¯t have no other requirement but if I can come back alive, then I hope I can enter the third floor of Weaponry Pavilion.¡± Ye Chuan indifferent made a request, this seemed random, but in fact, he was always waiting for this kind of chance. The first and second floors of Weaponry Pavilion had many treasures, but all the real killing weapons were on the third floor. Unfortunately, Weaponry Pavilion was the place under the control of Third Elder Bai Yanhu and was heavily guarded. An ordinary person basically didn¡¯t have the qualification to even approach. ¡°Old Three, you¡­¡­¡± Great Elder Zhu Guohong looked towards Third Elder Bai Yanhu. ¡°No, according to the law of the sect, only the Sect Master and elders are qualified to enter the third floor of Weaponry Pavilion.¡± Bai Yanhu pulled a long face and flatly refused, then looking at Ye Chuan, he was barely able to squeeze out a smile, and said, ¡°Of course, as long as Ye Chuan is really able to borrow Heaven Burning Cauldron from Heavenly Yao Sect, then we can make an exception.¡± ¡°That¡¯s settled then!¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t haggle, directly turned around and walked away. A protector also stepped forward leading Ye Chuan towards the rear of Cloud Mist Hall. Ye Chuan keep up the pace, and looking at this protector, he was none other than the old acquaintance, Protector Yang who had led them to go to the Great Competition of three sects. Heaven sees the poor, for the important task to lead Ye Chuan to Heavenly Yao Sect, all other people found an excuse to reject, so it again fell into the lap of this honest person. Chapter 131: War Sacrificial Altar Chapter 131: War Sacrificial Altar ¡°Protector Yang, hello (Ni hao =lit. You good), we meet again, it seems, we are really destined.¡± Ye Chuan said with a smile. There was no trace of solemnness. The trip to Heavenly Yao Sect of this time bode ill rather than well, and wanting to complete the task was even harder than reaching the sky. All ordinary disciples were nervous and solemn, but Ye Chuan looked relaxed. Looking at smiling Ye Chuan, Protector Yang Tian Kuang nevertheless pulled a long face, he wanted to cry but there was no tear. He felt that the misfortune of his lifetime had suddenly increased, and now, he was thoroughly out of luck. Last time, he had to lead the group to participate in Great Competition of three sects. And this time, he had to lead Ye Chuan to Heavenly Yao Sect. Within the entire sect, who was more unlucky than him? Yang Tian Kuang stretched his mouth giving a forced smile, after Great Competition, he had looked Ye Chuan with new eyes and somewhat recognized his worth, but now with the present situation, he honestly was unable to laugh. Heavens shows pity, he was named Yang Tian Kuang, but in truth, he wasn¡¯t wild (Kuang) at all, he was very honest and low-keyed person. And because he was too honest, he had to accept the tasks that other people avoided many times. He didn¡¯t know whether Ye Chuan could cause millennium disaster now or not, but Ye Chuan had indeed caused him enough disaster! Last time in Great Competition, he had turned defeat into victory, and was able to escape unscathed, but what about this time? Yang Tian Kuang was heavy-hearted, his complexion was gloomy. And restraining for a long time, he spoke out two words very stiffly: ¡°No good.¡± ¡°Protector Yang, are you worried about Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± Ye Chuan patted the shoulder of Yang Tian Kuang and said: ¡°Rest assured, you only need to show the way, nothing more, no-one will make things difficult for you, even if we died, I will be the first to die.¡± Yang Tian Kuang suddenly stopped his steps, and looking at calm and composed Ye Chuan, his heart was moved. Honest people were not good at expressing, he didn¡¯t know what he should say, but these simple words of Ye Chuan made him admire this youngster who was the entire generation younger than him from his heart. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± A familiar voice resounded from behind, Ye Chuan turned his head and saw fatty Zhao Dazi was chasing after him. He had a big bag on his back. After he arrived over, he said while panting: ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Miss Jiajia ordered me to accompany you.¡± ¡°Fatty, this time is different from the Great Competition of three sects, aren¡¯t you afraid that you will be gone forever?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°I¡¯m afraid, even Third Elder, that old man is afraid of death, who isn¡¯t afraid?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi saw gloomy complexion Yang Tian Kuang and felt slightly better in his heart, as he found a person with similar distress, ¡°But, if you don¡¯t agree and I returned back now, then Miss Jiajia will strangle me to death. So, junior apprentice-brother, I have to follow you. Big Senior apprentice-brother, I place this little one¡¯s life, and entrust the latter half of my life to you, you must be responsible.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi had an expression as if a girl who was pledging to marry. ¡°Pei, I am not interested in men, damned fatty, stay far away from me.¡± Ye Chuan took a step away, and although he was cursing verbally, but his heart was warm. Following him even after knowing this trip bode ill rather than well, fatty really was his real brother. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Miss Jiajia said that, you are responsible for her, and hereafter you must not disappoint her feeling.¡± Fatty Zaho Dazhi said in dead earnest. The affection of Zhu Sijia towards Ye Chuan, even fool could perceive. Fatty wasn¡¯t a fool, on the contrary was very cunning, he had already seen through the unusualness of Zhu Sijia. Not even in a dream had he thought that, after falling in love, energetic and unruly Zhu Sijia would also become so considerate. Unfortunately, that person wasn¡¯t him, and he could only look at Ye Chuan with envy while lamenting why he didn¡¯t have a life like his. ¡°Fatty, what are you saying? Don¡¯t treat this senior apprentice-brother like yourself, I do not understand what you are saying.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, pretending to not understand, and secretly increased his pace. A group of three people walked faster and faster, before long, they arrived at a small valley behind Cloud Mist Hall, and a huge ancient high platform appeared in front of their eyes. This high platform was no less than 8 kilometer in diameter, and the entire platform was built with unknown boulders. And profound ancient Great Sage inscription was carved on those boulders. Across these thousands of kilometers wide place, thick ancient and majestic aura engulfed everything. Looking from afar, a fighting spirit automatically surged in the heart of people, and as if they were in an ancient battlefield, surrounded by thousands upon thousands of men and horses, dense killing intent directly rushed against their face. ¡°This is the War Sacrificial Altar, legend says that, our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s founder used his Great Sage technique to personally move this back from the end of time and space. Even to this day, this is the biggest and most ancient War sacrificial Altar in Da Qin Dynasty and even in the entire Heavenly Fire Continent. On it, countless experts had battled, and used their blood and life to perform most ferocious collision!¡± Protector Yang Tian Kuang¡¯s voice came. His tone contained a deep sense of pride. Cloud Mist Sect with long inheritance had many things that made disciples have a proper sense of pride. There were many peaks, majestic palaces, ancient repositories and Weaponry Pavilion¡­¡­, everything had extensive momentum, but the most shocking thing was still this War Sacrificial Altar with a long history in front of their eyes. Legend says that, very long time ago, this place was the place where peak super experts of Wilderness World had done battle, and was the Holy Land where the competition between Sage realm experts was held. At that time, Cloud Mist Sect was at its most flourishing state. Unfortunately, such days were gone never to return, and now, Cloud Mist Sect wasn¡¯t even able to activate this huge monster. So now, this matchless War Sacrificial Altar left behind by their founder Ghost Hand Medicinal King was accumulating dust. Fatty Zaho Dazhi was dumbstruck, although it was not his first time seeing this War Sacrificial Altar, but his heart still shook. And seeing this, his heart was filled with pride: ¡°Yes, this is War Sacrificial Altar, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you see¡­¡­¡± After a good while, fatty wanted to tell many tales relating to War Sacrificial Altar to Ye Chuan, but when he turned around, there was no one beside him, he discovered that Ye Chuan was no longer around him. When fatty was being shocked in his heart, Ye Chuan had already arrived at the side of War Sacrificial Altar. Reaching out his hand, he used a fingertip to lightly touch boulder¡¯s Great Sage Inscription. After millions of years, people only knew that this ancient War Sacrificial Altar was moved back from the end of time and space by Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s founder Ghost Hand Medicinal King, but perhaps, other than Ye Chuan no one knew the story of behind the scene. At that time, if it was not for him alone fighting against other 13 Great Sages of Fierce Chaotic Domain, would Ghost Hand Medicinal King be able to seize the opportunity to capture this ancient altar? ¡°Sage battle, bloody altar¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself, and with his fingertip streaking across the Great Sage Inscription, the familiar feeling of showing disdain for the world rose in his heart. This moment, it seemed as if the time and space had returned to millions upon millions years ago, returning to the era of Heaven Concealing Great Sage where he had no match under the heaven. Fatty and Protector Yan Tian Kuang who was standing some kilometers away suddenly had an illusion as if Ye Chuan had changed into the part of this ancient altar, and this ancient altar had changed into the part of Ye Chuan, and making no distinction between this and that, both emitted ancient majestic aura. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what are you saying?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s heartbeat accelerated without any reason, and he mustered his courage to walk over to Ye Chuan. ¡°Nothing, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Chuan turned around, then indifferently walked over to the nearby ancient transmission formation. Then with a flash of cyan light, all three of them disappeared, activating the ancient transmission formation towards Heavenly Yao Sect. Just after three people left, a mysterious woman quietly arrived at this valley, then walking over to the side of War Sacrificial Altar, she looked and suddenly her heart quivered. The altar which was accumulating the dust had revealed a clear, deep sunken handprint, which was clearly left behind a long, a very long time ago, but strangely it became visible again. ¡°Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan?¡± This mysterious woman paused, then looking at the ancient transmission formation with radiance circulating around it not far away from her, she muttered, and left quietly. She came and went without alarming any guards of Cloud Mist Sect, merely left behind moist footprints. Chapter 132: Heavenly Yao Sect Chapter 132: Heavenly Yao Sect With a burst of cyan light, Ye Chuan¡¯s group of three people appeared hundred million li away. Legend says that the ancient transmission formation of Cloud Mist Sect was also something founder Ghost Hand Medicinal King had moved back from the end of time and space. When the sect was in most flourishing period, they could send thousands of people hundreds of million li away, moreover could even directly tear through the void sending them anywhere in the world. Its might was astonishing, but the consumption of crystal cores was also beyond imagination. Nowadays, with the strength of current Cloud Mist Sect, they could only teleport to the other places of Heavenly Fire Continent, which was incomparable to what they could do at their most flourishing time. Ye Chuan pulled himself together, and looked up. Standing in front of him was a mountain peak that reached to the sky, its shape was just like an earth dragon with the layer of its body on top of another, and its head high above the cloud layer, looking down on the earth. Moreover, there was also a domineering momentum in the air around this mountain, as if it was a true dragon that existed since the immemorial time guarding this patch of earth. Coiling Dragon Mountain! Passing through the sect¡¯s ancient transmission formation, Ye Chuan¡¯s group of three quickly arrived at this huge dragon-shaped mountain. This place was the entrance of Heavenly Dragon Sect, was also the place restricted to many experts! Behind Coiling Dragon Mountain were Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s mountain peaks shrouded in mist. Some mountain peaks were shaped like white tiger, some were like huge snake, some were like huge tortoise, and so on, all were of different shapes, and the momentum of all was also extraordinary. Carefully looking, one could still notice these mountain peaks were in picturesque order, indistinctly resembling the terrain of the entire Heavenly Fire Continent. The terrain looked just like the shrunk version of the continent with mountain and rivers. A mountain, a river, a plant, a tree, entire mountains and rivers were concentrated among them. ¡°This is¡­¡­, Heavenly Yao Sect that claims to be the unequaled sect?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi had his eyes wide open, he was shocked seeing the incomparable momentum of Heavenly Yao Sect. Compared to Heavenly Yao Sect, Cloud Mist Sect was even more ancient and had even more glorious history, its momentum was also more imposing, and previously even one plant and one tree of entire Cloud Mist Mountain range were under its jurisdiction. Unfortunately, that was in the past, already turned into history long ago. Heavenly Yao Sect however was different, when Cloud Mist was declining, Heavenly Yao Sect got more and more powerful and prosperous, moreover, was still continuing to prosper and was expected to set foot in the highest peak since the beginning of the history. Facing this dominating momentum of Heavenly Yao Sect, and again thinking about their steadily deteriorating and struggling hard to survive Cloud Mist Sect, fatty Zaho Dazhi trembled, and also was timid, then retreat before fighting in his heart. Even if there were other disciples of the sect in his place, they would have the same kind of idea. Even Protector Yang Tian Kuang who was responsible to lead the group was also short of breath and the energy fluctuation within his body became somewhat chaotic. Before even seeing the people of Heavenly Yao Sect, they were already restless. Among the three people, only Ye Chuan was still calm and composed, he just gazed afar towards the mountain peaks of Heavenly Yao Sect behind Coiling Dragon Mountain. Don¡¯t know when, his eyes had become gloomy, and there was also an indescribable sadness. ¡°Blue Eyed Yao Empress, just like the old rabbit, you have also left this world¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered in a low voice. After millions of years, with great changes over time, things remained the same but the people were changed, nevertheless each plant and each tree of Heavenly Yao Sect, he was still very familiar with them. Ghost Hand Medicinal King who established Cloud Mist Sect once was one of his followers, and the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect Blue Eyed Yao Empress was also once his capable assistant. And just like Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan was incomparably familiar with everything of this place. Unfortunately, all had already become the history and everything was already over. Now, after being trapped in God Burial Valley for millions of years, Ye Chuan once again had deep look, returning to this world where he had once concealed the heaven with his hand. Both Ghost Hand Medicinal King and Blue Eyed Yao Empress and also others followers of his former days, all without exception had left him and disappeared without a trace. Dense sadness that was impossible to get rid of rose in the heart of Ye Chuan. ¡°Who¡¯s there? Stop!¡± ¡°Whoever intrude Heavenly Yao Sect will be killed without pardon! From the high mountain, an ice-cold sound came through, then several figures stepping on the flying sword appeared in front of Ye Chuan and others. Afterwards, ice-cold killing intent rapidly spread out. They were five youngsters, everyone were wearing white colored war robe, and the cuff was embroidered with talismans. Everybody had long sword hung on their waist, was ice-cold and expressionless, moreover, their energy fluctuation was powerful. Even the weakest among them was Rank 5 Xiushi, and it seems, they were obviously outer disciples guarding the entrance of the sect. Just the unqualified outer disciples¡¯ cultivation was above Rank 5 Xiushi, then within the entire Heavenly Yao Sect, how many experts were there? The heart of fatty Zhao Dazhi trembled, and the fatty flesh all over his body also quivered, and became all the more reserved. Protector Yang Tian Kuang was experienced and knowledgeable but was also not much better. He coughed few times and bracing himself, he greeted: ¡°Brothers (polite form), we are disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, I (humble way) am surnamed Yang, is Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Mountain Patrolling Hall¡¯s protector. We request an audience with your Elder Tian Qing for a matter, please help us to inform him.¡± ¡°Cloud Mist Sect?¡± The leader disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect stood out, and sized up Ye Chuan¡¯s group of three with misgivings and said coldly: ¡°We did not receive the notice saying someone will come to pay a visit, what are you all doing, did you make an appointment?¡± Even after hearing Yang Tian Kuang was the Protector of Cloud Mist Sect, these disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect still were ice-cold and expressionless, and without any trace of a smile, they shut out these three people. Millions of years ago, Cloud Mist Sect was very powerful, but now, it no longer had its former power and prestige, reducing to become an unqualified sect. Even Cloud Mist Mountain Range which was its territory for millions of year was invaded and occupied by Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, and Cloud Mist Sect could do nothing about it. This kind of sect, for these younger generation disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, it seems, it was truly something they held in contempt. ¡°No, we don¡¯t have an appointment.¡± Yang Tian Kuang¡¯s face reddened, the matter about borrowing their defining treasure Heaven Burning Furnace, Great Elder and other naturally didn¡¯t say anything to Heavenly Yao Sect, moreover they naturally didn¡¯t want to personally talk about this matter with the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, resulting in this hard task falling on the head of this honest person. Yang Tian Kuang paused, and said somewhat stammering: ¡°Many years ago, I (humble) once met with your Elder Tian Qing, this time, we came here representing Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Great Elder to look for Elder Tian Qing, and have a discussion about a matter.¡± Thinking for a bit, Yang Tian Kuang was embarrassed to speak out the true objective, moreover, seeing the Elder Tian Qing of Heavenly Yao Sect was the first step. As for whether they could accomplish the matter or not, he could only resign himself to the fate. ¡°Elder Tian Qing is in seclusion cultivation, please return!¡± The leader disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect coldly looked at the trio of Ye Chuan, and flatly refused, shutting out these three people. Who is Tian Qing? He was a deacon elder of grand Heavenly Yao Sect, was illustrated and prominent figure of Heavenly Yao Sect, how could the trio of Ye Chuan, these nobodies see them as they please? ¡°This is a small gift, serve as a mere token of respect, please accept it, brother.¡± Yang Tian Kuang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and taking out a small pouch from inside a storage ring, he handed it over. Poor honest man, in former days, he only knew cultivating and patrolling mountain, how could he know how to have a dealing with these people. Even though he was giving a gift, but his expression was not very natural and words also sounded very stiff. The leader disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect finally show a slight smile, but after taking a look inside the pouch, he suddenly turned hostile. There were crystal stones inside, unfortunately, there were only some mid-grade crystal stones, and the quantity was also not much. For loose cultivators, this was a great gift, but for the disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect, this however was not worth mentioning. ¡°Leave, from where you came return there, if you dare to intrude my Heavenly Yao Sect, then kill without pardon!¡± The leader disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect directly throw away the pouch to the ground, then waving his hand, he loudly berated. And several sonorous sounds resounded as those disciples pulled out the sword hanging on their waist, then killing intent soared. The trio of Ye Chuan came from far away, but they couldn¡¯t even enter the entrance of Heavenly Yao Sect. Even these outer disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect didn¡¯t take them seriously, so how could they borrow their defining treasure? Fatty Zaho Dazhi lamented in his heart, and feeling cold in his heart, he retreated again. Chapter 133: Like this, you are asking to be beheaded Chapter 133: Like this, you are asking to be beheaded Fatty Zaho Dazhi felt cold in his heart, and Protector Yang Tian Kuang was also at his wits¡¯ end. That pouch of crystal cores was already the best gift he could present, but this gift simply didn¡¯t enter their eyes, so what should he do next? Could it be that they truly had to use force to enter? Yang Tian Kuang¡¯s cultivation was pretty good, although his nature was simple and straightforward, but he especially made a great effort in his cultivation, so among the numerous Protectors of Cloud Mist Sect, he had already broken through to Rank 6 Xiushi more than decades ago. In a one-on-one battle, these disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were not his opponent, and even if all of them came together, they might not necessarily be able to stop him. But, even if his cultivation was ten times stronger, Yang Tian Kuang didn¡¯t dare to truly force his way in. What was this place? This was Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s entrance, forbidden ground among forbidden grounds, even Great Devils who dared to forcibly enter the Da Qing Dynasty¡¯s imperial palace wouldn¡¯t dare to act wildly here! All those who forcibly enters Heavenly Yao Sect had only one end, that was death! If he died alone, then there was no problem, but even the sect might be implicated, suffering a fatal disaster! Legend said that, more than hundred years ago, a small sect¡¯s Sect Master forcibly entered Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s entrance, saying his closed female disciple was kidnapped by an expert of Heavenly Yao Sect, so he forcibly entered Heavenly Yao Sect wanting to reason with deacon elder. But the result was, he was not even able to see an elder of Heavenly Yao Sect, and was beaten to death by the experts guarding the sect, moreover, the sect he was affiliated was also uprooted overnight. Among several hundreds of people of that sect, not a single one survived. Protector Yang Tian Kuang being a blindly subservient man didn¡¯t know what to do, so he just stood there without any movement. Even if he the guts of a leopard, he didn¡¯t dare to forcibly charge in. However, a person walked forward in large strides, ignoring the pressure of the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect. In the crucial moment, Ye Chuan who was continuously standing at one side with a cool eye of a bystander directly walked forward. ¡°Who are you? Stop!¡± ¡°Take another step forward and we¡¯ll chop off your hands and legs!¡± Several disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were startled and also angry. They shouted in a stern countenance, and raised the gleaming sharp sword in their hand. In past, people who approached Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s entrance, no matter if it was an average person or expert, when they howled, they would hastily retreat far back. But this time, this trio of Cloud Mist Sect who was supposed to flee in defeat, country to their expectation, actually had someone who dared to directly walk forward without the fear of death, truly was forcibly breaking in the sect. Did this fellow has some connection, or was possessed, or insane or tired of living? ¡°Ye Chuan¡­¡­¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, don¡¯t, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­..¡± The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were caught unprepared, and as for fatty Zhao Dazhi and Protector Yang Tian Kuang, they were so scared that it was unbearable for them, and both of them simultaneously called out. Who had thought that Ye Chuan would truly break in forcibly? Ye Chuan continued to walk forward, ignoring the call of people. Now he was getting nearer and nearer to the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who were holding a sharp sword. 5 meters, 3 meters, 1 meter¡­¡­, he directly reached in front of those disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect. The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who just had ferocious and stern countenance suddenly became timid and subconsciously retreated. These disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who usually considered themselves high above other people were furiously shouting about killing just now, but when they truly had to raise their hand, they hesitated. Seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s fearless expression, they weren¡¯t able to confirm his identity. And thought that he might have a strong backing. Suddenly an odd scene appeared at the entrance of Heavenly Yao Sect. A youngster with ordinary cultivation was continuously walking forward, and the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who were supposed to guard the sect¡¯s entrance were continuously retreating. Fatty Zaho Dazhi and Protector Yang Tian Kuang had shut their mouth and their eyes were wide open seeing this situation. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother really is Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, who else has this kind of boldness? After coming back to his senses, Fatty Zaho Dazhi admired Ye Chuan even more, he was similarly the younger generation disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, but the difference between them was too big! ¡°Stop, if you move forward again, I will really attack you!¡± The leader disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect gritted his teeth, and angrily straightening his sword, he no longer retreated, and firmly staring at Ye Chuan, he said: ¡°Speak, who are you? What do you want?¡± ¡°Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s 517th Big Disciple Ye Chuan, go back and tell Tian Qing, come out and see me!¡± Ye Chuan stopped his steps, making the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, fatty and Protector Yang Tian Kuang to relax, but the following words greatly startled everyone and their expression changed greatly. What a big tone! Not request to see Deacon Elder Tian Qing of Heavenly Yao Sect, rather ordering him to come to welcome him, this Ye Chuan, who did he think Elder Tian Qing was? Moreover, who did he (Ye Chuan) think he was? Let alone the Big Disciple of this trifling sect, even if Great Elder Zhu Guohong of Cloud Mist Sect came in person, would he have such big face and weight? The complexion of leader disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect became more and more indefinite, seeing calm and composed moreover incomparably insolent Ye Chuan, their heart was in chaos like never before. The more insolent Ye Chuan was, the more they didn¡¯t dare to act rashly and even more didn¡¯t dare to force Ye Chuan. ¡°What, do you want me to repeat again?¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at that leader disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect, then looked over to other disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, and the mountain peaks behind the entrance, then faintly said: ¡°I truly hadn¡¯t expected, Yaoji¡¯s Heavenly Yao Sect has also fallen so low, the sect is trash like this and still claims to be peerless sect?¡± Ye Chuan faintly sighed, he was truly disappointed with Heavenly Yao Sect. That year, when he was able to conceal heaven with his hand, Heavenly Yao Sect was neither so huge like today, nor had so big power and prestige, but under the leadership of the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect Blue Eyed Yao Empress, the sect had open and flourishing moral integrity. Although they had killed people like flies, but they always had killed in just and honorable way and killed freely without any constraint, but the current disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, they only knew how to borrow the power and prestige of the sect as if the fox borrowing the tiger¡¯s fierceness and consider prudently! ¡°Make way, all of you roll out and ponder your errors in seclusion for me!¡± A simple and vigorous sound suddenly resounded and a big fellow rushed out from inside Heavenly Yao Sect, quickly arriving in front of everybody. Then looking at the trio of Ye Chuan, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of pallid light, but he still waved his hand and said with a smile yet not a smile: ¡°Honored guest, honored guest, no wonder I heard the singing of magpie early in the morning. Ever since the ancient time, Cloud Mist Sect and our Heavenly Yao Sect are in alliance. These kids without eyes have offended you all. I, Hou Shan, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s 517th generation disciple, also the commander of the sect guarding protectors request you three brothers to not blame them. Come in, please walk inside!¡± After a farce, finally, a weighty figure of Heavenly Yao Sect came out. Upon meeting, this tall and sturdy Hou Shan was like old friends, but being slow in coming was a bit too coincidental. It seems, he was looking from the dark for a long time, intentionally wanting those guards to make a fool out of the trio of Ye Chuan. ¡°Well, it is inefficient, according to the previous laws of Heavenly Yao Sect, this is the crime enough to tie them up and behead them with Life and Death Wheel. Ye Chuan looked at the crafty Hou Shan, and said an astonishing sentence. Fatty and Protector Yang Tian Kuang who had just relaxed suddenly shivered and secretly screamed. Originally grinning Hou Shan¡¯s complexion also changed, his eyes suddenly flashed with an ominous glint, and his body emitted violent energy fluctuation. Whoosh, the clothing on the body of Ye Chuan and others automatically fluttered without wind, and the space between their eyes felt stabbing pain, as if an invisible dagger was pointed at them, and they were at death¡¯s door. Chapter 134: Junior apprentice-brother, hello Chapter 134: Junior apprentice-brother, hello In an instant, the originally grinning Protector of Heavenly Yao Sect, Huo Shan, who appeared as if an old friend, revealed a ferocious face with soaring killing intent. Yang Tian Kuang quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Chuan, blocking the pressure of Hou Shan and said, ¡°Protector Hou, please forgive him, although Ye Chuan is our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, but is also young, na?ve, and haven¡¯t learned how to speak. Protector Hou, don¡¯t take offense, and please be magnanimous enough to forgive him.¡± Although Yang Tian Kuang was lacking courage and confidence, but at the critical moment, he stood out without any hesitation. ¡°Is that so?¡± Hou Shan rolled his eyes, coldly looking towards Ye Chuan, obviously was still angry. Fatty Zhao Dazhi pulled the clothing of Ye Chuan, and Protector Yang Tian Kuang also looked at him with a meaningful glance, signaling Ye Chuan to quickly make a formal apology. They had finally seen a weighty figure of Heavenly Yao Sect with great difficulty, and they wanted to pay a formal visit to an even higher ranking figure of Heavenly Yao Sect, so Ye Chuan had to make an apology, otherwise, wouldn¡¯t they fail just like this? ¡°Sorry, it¡¯s my mistake.¡± Ye Chuan opened his mouth, relieving both tense fatty and Protector Yang Tian Kuang. Although Ye Chuan was bold, but fortunately wasn¡¯t too stubborn. He still knew when to advance and when to retreat. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Protector Hou Shan snorted, and his complexion finally simmered down. Now he was self-satisfied and proud. He already knew that somebody of Cloud Mist Sect had come to visit at an earlier time, and was also prepared to some extent. However, although Cloud Mist Sect apologized and made clear what they had come for, but it was still necessary to pass on a message. With the current power and prestige of Heavenly Yao Sect, even the outer disciples didn¡¯t attach any importance to Cloud mist Sect like sects, no need to speak about how the higher-ups of the sect regarded them as beneath their notice. But, due to the ancient treaty of alliance with Cloud Mist Sect, it was also not good to excessively refuse their entrance, otherwise, how could they firmly sit on the position of First Under the Sun Sect, and hereafter, how could they lead all the sects under the heaven? It was bad to directly ignore them, so he wanted to discourage them first, then kill their power and prestige, this was the means of Hou Shan. Matters also went like he had expected, the group of Cloud Mist Sect lead by Protector Yang Tian Kuang were made difficult by disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect until they were at wit¡¯s end, even to the extent that they were nearly forced to retreat. He thought that after this experience, they would never dare to come back again, and their thoughts on social climbing would break. Hou Shan had predicted like a prophet, unfortunately, there was a little error, among the trio of Cloud Mist Sect, there unexpectedly was Ye Chuan, this kind of strange person. However, even though the process was somewhat unexpected, but the end result would be same. No matter how ambitious and proud Ye Chuan was, in the end, he was no different, didn¡¯t he had to obediently speak humbly under his breath? ¡°It¡¯s indeed my mistake.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s tone was sincere, but his face didn¡¯t have even a bit of admitting a fault expression, and he said indifferently, ¡°Millions of years ago, when Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples violated such rules, not only were they beheaded, even their souls were crushed, scattering their souls. But unfortunately, now I see that the current disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect are not the disciples of former Heavenly Yao Sect.¡± Hou Shan who was self-satisfied just now suddenly turned green. Beheading was not enough, also wanted to scatter the soul, this brat is making insinuations, cursing face to face. Fatty Zhao Dazhi shivered, regretting he had followed Ye Chuan in this trip. Protector Yang Tian Kuang was in the same situation. They were dying to cover the mouth of Ye Chuan and strangle his throat, so that he wouldn¡¯t speak again to court disaster. ¡°You are surnamed Ye, called Ye Chuan, right?¡± Hou Shan said looking at Ye Chuan. Now, he was truly angry, very angry, and the consequences would be very serious! The outer disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect knew that the situation was far from good, so they hastily retreated to one side, in order to avoid getting caught up in this. ¡°Yes, hereafter you can call me Ye Chuan. Naturally, since ancient times, Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect are of the same family, so although you are older than me, and your cultivation is higher than me, but in terms of seniority, since you are also 517th generation disciple, if you insist on politely addressing me Big Senior Apprentice-Disciple, then I will reluctantly let you.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, and said calmly, making fatty Zaho Dazhi tremble even more violently. If Rank 1 Daoist Master realm Protector of Heavenly Yao Sect, on the contrary, wanted to call him Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, then he would reluctantly let him do so. This sentence made the other party appeared as if he liked to call him (Ye Chuan) Big Senior Apprentice-Disciple very much. Ye Chuan truly didn¡¯t understand the ways of people or he truly was already tired of living. If he was already tired of living, then don¡¯t drag other people too! Fatty was wailing in his heart, and Protector Yang Tian Kuang also looked ashen. Originally, he wanted to stop Ye Chuan, but after thinking over, he let it be. Now, he had already spoken, what could he do other than submitting to the will of the Heaven. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­, brat, you want me to call you Big Senior Apprentice-Brother?¡± Hou Shan roared with laughter, he was unusually angry, but also felt incomparably funny at the same time, ¡°Brat, do you know, who is I, Hou Shan¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother? Who is he in Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, how about you introduce him to me, let me see what kind of figure he is, and see whether he truly has three heads and six arms or not?¡± Ye Chuan answered indifferently with a smile yet not a smile. ¡°Hahaha, good, good, I think, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Tian Qing will also be interested to see the appearance of little junior apprentice-brother that appeared out of thin air, hahahaha¡­¡­, you three, come with me!¡± Hou Shan raised his head high and roared with laughter. Originally he was outraged and was about to attack, but he suddenly calmed down, and sneering, his complexion became especially sinister and ruthless. After that, turning around, he led Ye Chuan and others inside the strictly guarded Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°What Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, he is simply a madman!¡± ¡°Yes, he is a madman, but isn¡¯t it funny like that?¡± Looking at the back view of Ye Chuan, the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were stupefied. And only after a while, they woke up, and the sneering, they also entered the sect. Very soon, the news of the arrival of Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect spread at an astonishing speed. Ye Chuan and others were brought to the plain small courtyard, then Hou Shan turned away. From the beginning to the end, he didn¡¯t utter a single word and the more he thought the more unwell he felt. He wanted to kill the prestige of Ye Chuan and his group, but how did the situation change into this state? Hou Shan felt stuffy, and felt irritated seeing Ye Chuan. At the beginning, he thought that Ye Chuan was a madman tired of living, but thinking over after calming down, it seems it was not as simple as he had thought. At least, didn¡¯t the trio of Ye Chuan smoothly entered Heavenly Yao Sect, this was the crucial part. Hou Shan knew that he was duped, he had fallen into the trap of Ye Chuan. The more he thought, the more unwell he felt, and the more he walked, the faster he became. But before he reached far away, a sound came from behind him, ¡°That what, junior apprentice-brother Hou Shan, don¡¯t go, wait a bit!¡± This brat, is he truly regarding himself as the Big Disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect? Black lines appeared on the face of Hou Shan and enduring his impulse to flip out with great difficulty, he slowly turned around. If eyes could kill people, then Ye Chuan would have already died thousands and ten thousands of time. ¡°Junior apprentice-brother Hou Shan, there is one thing I forget to say to you.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and looked at Hou Shan, then speaking only one half, he left Hou Shan hanging for a little while and said leisurely, ¡°I am in a hurry, so I am troubling you to ask when can I meet that something Tian Qing?¡± ¡°After three days!¡± Hou Shan gritted his teeth, then spitting out three words, he left in large strides, worrying if he walked any slower, he would lose control and get into a fight with them. Fatty Zhao Dazhi and Protector Yang Tian Kuang¡¯s heart were in a mess looking at Ye Chuan. This time, it was not as simple as they had only offended Hou Shan, this Protector, but they had offended the entire Heavenly Yao Sect, now, how could they speak about borrowing Heaven Burning Furnace? But currently, fatty Zhao Dazhi and Protector Yang Tian Kuang only had a thought in their heart, which was not how to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, rather how to survive. When they were outside the mountain, at worst, they could still turn around and flee, but now, even if they wanted to flee, they couldn¡¯t flee. All around there were experts and restrictions of Heavenly Yao Sect. No matter how they thought about this, they were in a pinch! Chapter 135: Kumu Warrior Chapter 135: Kumu Warrior Fatty Zhao Dazhi and Protector Yang Tian Kuang were deeply worried and sick at heart, and their complexion was gloomy. Ye Chuan however was carefree, he directly went into the small courtyard and did what he had to do. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, even without using his cultivation technique, pure worldly spiritual qi gushed towards him as if tidewater from all direction. They nourished his skin, seeped into his internal organs, all the limbs and bones. Inhaling and exhaling, he took in and send out indistinctly liquefied worldly spiritual qi from his nasal cavity. Now, as if he was taking a bath, his entire body was in the sea of worldly spiritual qi. Ye Chuan cut off all the distracting thoughts and began cultivation on the spot. The reputation of being unequaled sect really wasn¡¯t empty reputation. The worldly spiritual qi of Heavenly Yao Sect was so dense that an ordinary person couldn¡¯t even imagine. It was several times denser than Cloud Mist Sect. Cultivating here, one could get twice the result with half the effort, no wonder Heavenly Yao Sect had strong people in large number and becoming more and more prosperous every day. After cultivating for a while, a change appeared within the body of Ye Chuan. There was no change in his cultivation realm, still was Rank 2 Xiushi, but three Heaven Swallowing Talismans apparently had a change, beginning to swell with dim light stream circulating on them, and they swallowed the pure worldly spiritual qi in the sky like a whale. In the sky of this small courtyard, quickly an energy vortex appeared, and the worldly spiritual qi of all around flowed towards this place. ¡°Eh, this is¡­¡­¡± Protector Yang Tian Kuang who was sorting out the luggage was surprised all of a sudden and he looked towards the room of Ye Chuan. As for fatty Zhao Dazhi, he didn¡¯t sense anything, but he felt the change in the worldly spiritual qi of this place. So he raised his head and look, only to see, in the sky of this small courtyard, there was energy vortex which was becoming clearer and clearer. Each moment, pure worldly spiritual qi from all direction flowed over, and even more worldly spiritual qi disappeared. Higher the cultivation realm, more the worldly spiritual qi one should absorb. But to be able to stir up such changes and make energy vortex to appear, one should at least have the cultivation of Daoist Master realm. But what was the cultivation realm of Ye Chuan? He was merely Rank 2 Xiushi, nothing more, it was impossible for him to give rise to such big changes, clearly, he had brought some kind of treasure with him. Most likely, it was a treasure secretly bestowed upon him by Great Elder before leaving the sect! Yang Tian Kuang pondered for a moment and quickly reached the answer. Even if the hope of fulfilling the task of this trip was very small, but they still had to try as much as possible, so it was very normal for Great Elder to secretly bestow Ye Chuan a treasure. Merely, Ye Chuan had already provoked a disaster the moment he arrived Heavenly Yao Sect. He bragged so much that perhaps he had already offended many people, so even if he had brought a treasure, what¡¯s the use of it? As long as the other side truly wanted to kill them, even if he had a better treasure to protect, it would be useless, let along borrowing Heaven Burning Furnace. Yang Tian Kuang shook his head and was heavy-hearted. At the same time, among the layer upon layer of imperial palaces in the depth of Heavenly Yao Sect, inside a nearly completely dark ancient imperial palace, a woman with completely white hair suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the direction of the small courtyard where the trio of Ye Chuan was staying. Her pupils were like the legendary bottomless abyss, and had a different world with life and death. All of her hairs were white, but it wasn¡¯t greyish white hair of old people, rather was white jade-like spotlessly white, white without the slightest impurity. Her white hair had sparkling and translucent splendor circulating on them, and was continuously lengthened on the ground, don¡¯t know how many years had it been since it had been growing. After looking through layer upon layer of imperial palaces, this white-haired woman suddenly clapped her hand. In the darkness, suddenly the sound of metal friction resounded, and an expressionless guard wearing a heavy armor walked over to the front of this white-haired woman in large strides, then respectfully knelt down. ¡°Go and see what guest has come in the small courtyard of Coiling Dragon Mountain?¡± The white-haired woman lightly ordered. ¡°Yes!¡± The guard respectfully accepted the command, then turning around, this guard walked out. Inside the hall, he was blindly subservient, but after leaving the hall, a majestic energy fluctuation burst put from his body, which was comparable or even higher compared to Rank 6 Daoist Master realm Rain Demon. His energy fluctuation steadily rose, and his body also expanded, expanding to 6 or 7 meters tall giant. The heavy armor on his body disappeared, which was replaced by coarse but incomparably hard bark, and his muscles also swelled like a heavy wood. What is this giant, clearly was a Kumu Warrior who had lived for at least 9,000 years! The guards outside the palace, seeing this Kumu Warrior uniformly knelt down respectfully. Hu! The Kumu Warrior suddenly raised his head, and as if he was finally free from the long restraint inside the completely dark imperial palace, he roared. The guards kneeling on the ground, instantly felt ¡®huhu¡¯ sound resounding beside their ears like they were in the middle of the hurricane, and their body floated up. The high and low mountain peaks, and the big and small trees violently swayed. Moreover, the sea of trees seemed to want to transform into tree people. Coiling Dragon Mountain, inside the small courtyard which was especially used to receive ordinary guests in Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan suddenly woke up from his cultivation. He had a sense in his heart and he looked towards the depth of layer upon layer of imperial palaces of Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°Blue Eyed Yao Empress is still alive? No, no, this is¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan suddenly got excited, then, slowly calmed down, and was replaced by slight disappointed, then he lightly sighed. The aura coming from the back of layer upon layer of imperial palaces, and the aura of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress was somewhat similar, but sensing carefully, there was a big disparity, obviously wasn¡¯t the same person. After millions of years, he came out from God Burial valley and stepped into the Wilderness World, but all of his followers of former days had disappeared without a trace. Old Rabbit, Yaoji and others, in the end, where did they go? Could it be that all of them are no longer in this world, did they ripped the void, going to the world outside the heaven, or they¡­¡­ Ye Chuan pondered, and suddenly, he had an incomparably strong desire to quickly break through each and every bottleneck, returning to the pinnacle, then go to figure out what had happened in this Wilderness World in the period of time when he was trapped in the God Burial Valley. Knock knock knock, suddenly a hasty knocking sound came from the courtyard door. ¡°Did that junior apprentice apprentice-brother come here again? Ye Chuan stood up, and smiled evilly, thinking this person was Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Protector Hou Shan. This fellow must have definitely gotten more upset the more he thought, so he might have come to carry out his vendetta. Fatty Zhao Dazhi and Protector Yang Tian Kuang were deeply worried. They held this Hou Shan in awe and veneration and feared him, but Ye Chuan basically treated him as nothing. Who am I? When visiting Heavenly Yao Sect, if Blue Eyed Yao Empress was still here, then no need to talk about this trifling protector, even if it was the elder or even Great Elder, if they dared to treat him like that, then they absolutely would have one end, death! Nowadays, Heavenly Yao Sect was flourishing, was aspiring to be an unparalleled sect, but Ye Chuan had helped Blue Eyed Yao Empress to lay out the real foundation. Today, although Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress was not present, but after returning to this sect, Ye Chuan still had cards up his sleeve. This was something the Great Elder, Second Elder and others of Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t know, this was also the primary reason he had accepted the task of Heavenly Yao Sect without hesitation. Third Elder Bai Yanhu was full of evil tricks, he didn¡¯t hesitate to destroy all the alchemy furnaces of Cloud Mist Sect, forcing him to come to Heavenly Yao Sect to get killed. With regarding this kind of vile character, the best way to deal with them was to take advantage of the situation for his own benefit, and when he was being carried away by his success, foil his scheme, uncover him in public and then kill him! Ye Chuan walked towards the door of the courtyard. But the knocking on the door became more and more urgent, even to the extent that he could sense thick killing intent outside the door. However, he was calm and composed with a sneer on his face. Chapter 136: Grandpa Hou came Chapter 136: Grandpa Hou came ¡°Ye Chuan, if you are any slower, I will force myself in.¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi and Protector Yang Tian Kuang darted out from inside the room and stopped Ye Chuan, for fear that he would act impulsively. Protector Yang Tian Kuang coughed few times, and feigning calm, he took several deep breathe and walked forward mustering his courage. But before he could open the door, the door of the courtyard fell apart and a person flew over. A youngster full of killing intent came in front of the trio. He had a wretched appearance and his forehead was protruding, still, even though he was ferocious and was full of killing intent, and his stature was thin and also small, but he was persistently wearing showy big red war robe which was incongruous. He looked just like a monkey who had just run out from some valley, appearing rather comical. Behind him, a large group of disciples and odd-job men were following, coming to watch the excitement. ¡°Noble son, may I ask¡­¡­¡± Yang Tian Kuang very cautiously spoke with a smile. Seeing this crowd of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples who had a threatening appearance, his heart thumped, knowing the situation was anything but reassuring. He understood that the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect had come to carry out a vendetta against them. He knew that not only Ye Chuan encountered the mishap, even he and fatty Zhao Dazhi wouldn¡¯t be able to avoid this disaster easily. When the moment comes, they would die without a place to cry out about their grievances, and even if Cloud Mist Sect investigated after the events, they could casually push all the blame to an outer sect disciple at worst, muddling through the work. ¡°Surnamed Hou, given name Yuan Chang, calling me Grandpa Hou is enough.¡± The youngster with wretched appearance interrupted Yang Tian Kuang, and with the appearance of self-centered show-off who set himself high above the masses, he ferociously said: ¡°Who is Ye Chuan? Stand out for me!¡± Hou Yuan Chang got straight to the point, as soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed out that he wanted to see Ye Chuan and his killing intent soared. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, don¡¯t move, don¡¯t speak.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi, while sweating profusely, on one side he whispered and on another side he secretly pulled the lower hem of Ye Chuan¡¯s clothing. This circumstance was not right, if Ye Chuan stood out, then he might suffer head-on attacks without even a chance to argue or plead for mercy. Hou Yuan Chang, this fellow appeared incongruous, but his cultivation nevertheless was high. Sensing the surging energy fluctuation within his body, he clearly was an elite of late-stage Xiushi realm. Compared to only rank 2 Xiushi Ye Chuan, he was many times more powerful. Let alone Ye Chuan, even Protector Yang Tian Kuang might not necessarily be his opponent. ¡°I am Ye Chuan, I wonder why Grandpa Hou honored us by your presence, excuse me for not going out to welcome you.¡± Ye Chuan greeted in the presence of all. He had a respectful, reserved but somewhat unsettled appearance, ¡°Grandpa Hou look happy and healthy, is a man of striking appearance, I wonder the relation between you and His Excellency Sect Protector Hou is¡­¡­¡± ¡°He is my father.¡± Hou Yuan Chang held up his head and threw out his chest. He was very satisfied with the expression of Ye Chuan and he said: ¡°Boy, I heard you are current generation Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, is that true?¡± ¡°Yes, however, that is just junior apprentice-brothers and junior apprentice-sisters praising me, compared to me, there are many more remarkable younger generation disciples inside the sect.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, speaking sincerely and politely, relieving both Yang Tian Kuang and fatty Zhao Dazhi who were worried that he would bring disaster by shooting his mouth off. Ye Chuan paused, then looking Hou Yuan Chang up and down, from head to toe, and again from toe to head, he nodded his head and said: ¡°People say, with the father being a lion, the son cannot be a dog, it seems, it is indeed true. Unfortunately, your forehead is protruding a bit, and if the mouth was a bit longer or you had few protruding teeth, then you would have looked better. Now, like this, although good-looking, but you looked just like a monkey. Fatty, don¡¯t stop me, let me slap him few times. Even his father Hou Shan had to call himself junior apprentice-brother in front of this noble son, but this brat is calling himself Grandpa Hou, too outrageous, truly treating the laws of the sect as air.¡± Ye Chuan pretended to rolled up his sleeves, and had the appearance of wanting to get into a fight. Several words in the front were polite, making Hou Yuan Chang contented in front of people, but in the middle, the tone suddenly changed, raining down curses to Hou Yuan Chang who was bearing down menacingly. Gosh! What I am truly afraid would come has come, is Ye Chuan truly tired of living? Or did he think this place is still Cloud Mist Sect? Fatty Zhao Dazhi wailed in his heart, and the fatty meat on his body trembled. Protector Yang Tian Kuang also trembled in his heart. He looked ashen and was endlessly regretting in his heart. If he had known earlier that Ye Chuan would be like this, then he would have rather accepted the punishment of the sect instead of leading this group. Dying was a small matter, but all the face had been lost. Bragging at this moment, wasn¡¯t this just courting disgrace? Many disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect that had come to watch the excitement were dumbfounded. They doubted that they might have heard wrongly, shortly afterward, they couldn¡¯t help but roar with laughter. Hou Yuan Chang looked like a monkey, everyone already knew this point long ago, but who dared to speak it out? Not for the monk¡¯s sake, but for the Buddha¡¯s, considering the face of his father Hou Shan, even if cursed, shouldn¡¯t he restrain a bit? Everyone wanted to speak but no one dared to say these words, however Ye Chuan said those words, moreover, he said in all seriousness, and his voice was loud, so everybody heard clearly. The face of Hou Yuan Chan suddenly became purplish red just like the pork liver. As a silkpants, he was violent, and would always act wilfully with few of his companions. But hearing Ye Chuan saying such words face to face like this, he lost his temper, and he thoroughly went out of control in front of everybody who was roaring with laughter, ¡°Brat, I will kill you, personally kill you!¡± ¡°Want to kill me?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and looking at Hou Yuan Chang who had went out of control, he said with a smile, ¡°You are not capable, even if your father Hou Shan came personally, he is barely adequate, as for you boy, there is a big disparity.¡± With regarding Hou Yuan Chang, this kind of trash, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t care in the slightest. In any case, he had come to Heavenly Yao Sect this time not to deal with a man as he deals with you, but had come to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace. So he had stirred up the activity to alarm the higher-ups of Heavenly Yao Sect, thinking to see them. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­, good, brat, then we will have three hundred rounds of the bout to see who is powerful! Come, let¡¯s have a life and death battle, come, now!¡± Hou Yuan Chang was so angry that he laughed, then pulling out Nine Ring Sword hanging on his waist, he poured energy from his hands, causing this sharp sword to tremble making a humming sound. After that, it erupted with dense ruthless aura, and a dark radiance appeared on its blade, moreover as if it was smeared with a layer of fresh blood, a fishy smell assailed the nostrils. Very obviously, this sword had soaked in the blood of many opponents, refining their energy. ¡°No, that¡¯s wrong!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. ¡°What, what is wrong? Brat, you are scared!¡± Hou Yuan Chang stepped forward, and the energy fluctuation within his body and his killing intent steadily rose, moreover, his momentum was even more flourishing. And seeing Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to accept the challenge, he finally felt as if he retrieved some face, but he didn¡¯t let the matter drop without taking advantage of an opportunity, so he instead got more aggressive. Now his ferocious appearance all the more looked just like a monkey. ¡°What I mean is, I don¡¯t need three hundred rounds to kill you, a single move is enough.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently answered. This extremely short sentence caused Hou Yuan Chang who had thought that he had retrieved some face go completely insane. He suddenly roared violently, and three feet long sword light sprang out from his Nine Ring Sword, and he completely displayed his cultivation of Rank 5 Xiushi, ¡°Come, brat, I will let you make three moves first, and then if I cannot kill you using only one hand, then I am not surnamed Hou!¡± Hou Yuan Chang flew into a rage, and he was ready to fight throwing caution to the wind. Originally, he just wanted to just humiliate Ye Chuan in public, venting the anger instead of his father Hou Shan. But he had never thought that, Ye Chuan would drive him insane in few words, driving the matter completely out of control. At this moment, he only had the thoughts to kill Ye Chuan in his heart, even if Son of Heaven himself come in person also wouldn¡¯t be able to stop him! Chapter 137: A gentleman reasons things out and does not resort to force Chapter 137: A gentleman reasons things out and does not resort to force ¡°Grandpa Hou, do you truly want me to hit?¡± Ye Chuan asked. Hou Yuan Chang was already out of control, but on the surface, he still smiled, showing carefree and content appearance. ¡°Yes, I will hit you until you die, boy, come!¡± Hou Yuan Chang angrily set one step forward, and Nine Ring Sword in his hand continuously trembled, preparing a fatal blow, ¡°Come, boy, let me show you what is called the deadly strike of Heavenly Yao Sect. Today, I will use only one hand, and let you make three moves first, then trample you to death like mole crickets and ants!¡± ¡°Is it all right to not hit?¡± Ye Chuan stood motionless and asked mildly as if was asking for pardon. ¡°Right right right, don¡¯t hit, don¡¯t fight.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi hastily nodded his head firmly holding Ye Chuan. He would not let Ye Chuan go into the battle. They absolutely shouldn¡¯t attack in this battle, once they come to blows, everything would be over! ¡°Brat, if you have guts to stand out, then attack!¡± Hou Yuan Chang said in his hoarse voice, and seeing Ye Chuan was standing motionless with no intention to battle, he didn¡¯t know where to start and felt anxious and helpless, still he suppressed the anger in his heart, and he repeatedly shouted to attack, shouted to kill like a thunder without rain, weakening his aura by one third. If both people had agreed, then that would be a contest, so even if the sword cut Ye Chuan into two half, later he would be able to evade the blame of the higher level of Heavenly Yao Sect. But Ye Chuan stood motionlessly, so if he were to rush over and kill him, then the situation would change, and afterward, even his father will not be able to protect him! Hou Yuan Chang was angry, but he still hadn¡¯t thoroughly lost his reason in his heart, so he continuously provoked Ye Chuan to make a move. ¡°Ever since the ancient times, there is an old saying, a gentleman reasons things out and does not resort to force, and if cannot resort to force then don¡¯t shout attack, shout kill, this is the display of savage and vulgar behavior.¡± Ye Chuan looked at anxious and helpless Hou Yuan Chang with a smile, and wore off his drive: ¡°Grandpa Hou, how about we sit down, drink a cup of tea and play a game of chess to compete, is this okay?¡± ¡°You¡­¡­, display your fucking dog-ass! Brat, are all the people of Cloud Mist Sect so gutless, all such trash?¡± Hou Yuan Chang was so angry that he nearly spat out the blood. After waiting for a long time, he wanted to drink tea and play a chess to settle, what sort of joke was this, later, didn¡¯t they want to mix with Heavenly Yao Sect? ¡°What did you say?¡± Ye Chuan squinted his eyes. ¡°Display your fucking dog-ass, you are a trash, and the entire Cloud Mist is also a trash!¡± Hou Yuan Chang was truly angry, and he cursed roundly, ¡°Come, if you have the ability, stand out for a battle, I, this grandpa Hou will use only one hand, and will even let you make three moves, no, let you make six moves first, after that, if I cannot kill you then my surname is not Hou!¡± ¡°Well, if that is the case, then I will not use my both hands, and also let you make ten moves in advance.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said and walked out. Outside the courtyard, people who had come to watch the excitement were shocked. Using only one hand, that was already conceited and arrogant, but not use both hands, what did this mean? Without using both hands, how will he kill a person? Use legs to kick? Seeing Ye Chuan had stood out to accept the challenge, the disciples and odd-job men of Heavenly Yao Sect were dumbfounded. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, don¡¯t, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty chased after Ye Chuan feeling uneasy, wanting to stop Ye Chuan. ¡°Fatty, say, don¡¯t you have any confidence in your this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother?¡± Ye Chuan smiled and pushed fatty away. Then, placing his hands behind him, he signaled that he would not be using them. After that, looking at Hou Yuan Chang, he said: ¡°Grandpa Hou, I am asking for the last time, isn¡¯t it fine to not fight? According to seniority, I am your uncle-master, so pressuring small being big is after all a bit unsuitable, defeating you will be a one-sided battle, and killing you also isn¡¯t good to justify myself to your father.¡± ¡°Hahaha, good, good, uncle-master, you can kill me. There are so many people to see, if you truly killed me, then that is just myself being useless!¡± The look of Hou Yuan Chang was ferocious, and after speaking, he rushed forward and ruthlessly chopped his swords towards the neck of Ye Chuan. At this moment, after waiting for a long time, he was already very impatient! ¡°First move.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s indifferent voice resounded. Just before Nine Ring Sword reached his neck, he lightly moved to one side, dodging the heavy attack of Hou Yuan Chang. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Hou Yuan Chang was somewhat surprised, he didn¡¯t expect that the speed of Ye Chuan was so fast. His complexion got cold and casing after Ye Chuan, he initiated ferocious attacks. He moved faster and faster and his strength got bigger and bigger, instantly the entire courtyard was swept over by sword lights. The fallen leaves inside the courtyard floated in the midair, then were cut into two halves by swift and fierce sword lights. Immediately after that, the sword lights flashed again and the leaves changed into four small pieces¡­¡­, becoming smaller and smaller. Yao Sword! Hou Yuan Chang had monkey-like appearance, and he dressed incongruously, but his skill in Yao Sword Technique however was pretty good. He was able to display 100% power of this technique of Heavenly Yao Sect. Under his sword lights, let alone the fallen leaves, even a mosquito would be cut in half. But, Ye Chuan however was not harmed in the slightest. He freely walked in the midst of the crisscrossed sword lights, while counting indifferently. ¡°Second move!¡± ¡°Third move!¡± ¡­¡­ Ye Chuan¡¯s voice resounded in succession. The onlookers were surprised and had the look of disbelief. Even fatty and Yang Tian Kuang were also same. Ye Chuan, he¡­¡­, could he truly accomplish? Not only he took the initiative to place his hands behind him, on the contrary, let Hou Yuan Chang make ten moves first. People had their eyes wide open, and they frequently rubbed their eyes in disbelief. In Heavenly Yao Sect where experts were everywhere, Hou Yuan Chang didn¡¯t count as an expert, but in any case, he was Rank 5 Xiushi realm elite in the younger generation, but Ye Chuan was merely a trifling Rank 2 Xiushi, how could he achieve this? In the view of others, the steps of Ye Chuan appeared very casual, but every time, he skillfully dodged the attack of Hou Yuan Chang. The offense of the latter was fierce and was getting more and more intense as if sea waves, as he had already cultivated Yao Sword technique to the highest degree of perfection. Even Rank 7 Xiushi realm expert might not necessarily be so relaxed under the sword of Hou Yuan Chang, but for Ye Chuan, this however wasn¡¯t a big deal. At present, Heavenly Yao Sect aspired to be unequaled sect under the heaven, not only it had very long inheritance, moreover, possessed many killing moves passed down from generation to generation. And these many killing moves gave birth to many experts generation after generation sweeping over the land under the heaven. But little did they know that these many techniques passed down from generation to generation were something Ye Chuan had passed to Blue Eyed Yao Empress by Ye Chuan in those years, and the latter passed them to the first generation disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect and then was passed down from generation to generation. Among them, this Yao Sword technique which terrified many enemies of Heavenly Yao Sect was included. Hou Yuan Chang¡¯s proficiency in the training of Yao Sword technique was very good, unfortunately, just seeing his sword¡¯s movement, and even his slight body movement as well as trivial changes in expression, Ye Chuan know what was he going to do next, so dodging was naturally easy. Even if Hou Yuan Chang practice Yao Sword technique for 100 years, 1000 years, he would still be far inferior to Ye Chuan. ¡°Tenth move, ready, it¡¯s time to lie down, Grandpa Hou.¡± In the midst of crisscrossed sword lights, the sound of Ye Chuan resounded again, shortly afterwards, opening his mouth, Ye Chuan spat, and a small blade light flashed in the sky. Then, Hou Yuan Chang who was attacking like tide suddenly covered his throat and collapsed to the ground, then blood flowed out from the crack of his fingers. A gentleman reasons things out and does not resort to force, but there is no saying that a gentleman cannot kill a person. Moving a mouth could also kill a person! When Hou Yuan Chang was unguarded, Ye Chuan opened his mouth and spat out the blade hidden inside his mouth, unleashing a fatal move! The Yao Sword technique passed down from generation to generation in Heavenly Yao Sect was broad and profound, but Inch Light passed down by Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Ghost Hand Medicinal King although was simple but was even more fatal! ¡°Boy, you¡­¡­, you¡­¡­¡± Hou Yuan Chang raised his bloody right hand pointing towards Ye Chuan, wanting to say something, however he would never be able to speak again. With his head crooked to one side, he died with a grievance. Someone quickly stepped forward and pulled open his another hand covering his throat, and was struck dumb with amazement to discover his throat had been severed. Only a thin layer of skin attached his head and torso, so even if they had the legendary elixir of life, they would fail to save the situation. Great killing move! The heart of the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect shook. The explosive force of Inch Light Technique was astonishing, and it paid particular attention to the burst of power close at hand, moreover with three Heaven Swallowing Talismans, the strength of 54,000 jin instantly erupted adding the strength on the extremely thin blade, so let alone Hou Yuan Chang, even the neck of huge war elephant also wouldn¡¯t be able to bear this attack! ¡°Ai, I had already said at an earlier time, drinking tea and playing chess is enough, but why did you insist on life and death battle!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then turning around, he swaggered off, leaving behind everybody with a frightened expression. Chapter 138: Lady White Chapter 138: Lady White The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who were bearing down menacingly suddenly retreated. Just like sea tide, they returned cleaning everything. They even took away the corpse of Hou Yuan Chang. Hou Yuan Chang was dead, now the matter had gotten big. Heavenly Yao Sect will certainly not let this matter drop, and after learning of this news, it was impossible for Protector Hou Shan to not act out violently. Not a single disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect was willing to stay here, in order to avoid getting involved in this disaster. And on the side of Cloud Mist Sect, both fatty Zhao Dazhi and Protector Yang Tian Kuang were lifeless, and simultaneously became silent without prior discussion. Both inside and outside the courtyard, the atmosphere became heavy and stifling. Now the storm clouds were approaching. Thinking about the upcoming storm, fatty and Yang Tian Kuang were so scared that they were terror-stricken. Ye Chuan however was the exception, he leisurely did what he ought to do. The sky quickly darkened. Fatty Zhao Dazhi and Yang Tian Kuang returned to their respective rooms and stayed silently. Fatty Zhao Dazhi lied on the bed after closing the door without speaking. Then, he completely covered his body with a cotton-padded quilt, as if he could feel a little safety and also a little warmth like this. In the dim light of the night, he was even more scared and restless in his heart. Even if nothing happened tonight, what about tomorrow? How could they answer to the blame of Heavenly Yao Sect and the fury of Protector Hou Shan? Fatty Zhao Dazhi was extremely worried and troubled, inside Heavenly Yao Sect, a storm was approaching, and since they had no place to run, they could only wait to die. Knock, knock, knock, suddenly a knocking resounded in the darkness. ¡°Who?¡± Fatty cried out in fear, quickly waking up from his absent-minded state. There was no reply from outside the door, and with a creaking sound, the door opened, and a burst of cold wind poured in. The fine hair on the body of restless and nervous fatty stood erect, and his fatty meat also trembled. Unfolding the quilt, from the corner of his eyes, fatty saw a tall and straight figure entering, and walking quietly towards him as if a ghost, greatly scaring fatty. ¡°Just a trivial matter but you are so scared like this, fatty, with me, Senior Apprentice-Brother here, what¡¯s there to fear?¡± a familiar voice resounded. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, is¡­, is that you?¡± Fatty lift up the quilt and completely exposing his head, he looked, and seeing it was Ye Chuan who had entered, he was relieved. ¡°It¡¯s me, fatty, get up.¡± Ye Chuan looked at terror-stricken fatty while grinning and said: ¡°We finally came to Heavenly Yao Sect, let¡¯s go, go out for a walk with Big Senior Apprentice-Brother to see the how¡¯s the integrity of the unequaled sect.¡± ¡°No, I am not going.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi exerted all his strength to shake his head. Now, he was truly afraid of Ye Chuan, just staying at this small courtyard had invited such a big calamity, if they go for a walk everywhere, then only heavens know what kind of disaster he would invite! ¡°That is also fine, then I and Protector Yang are going out, you stay and look after the house, if Hou Shan of Heavenly Yao Sect come, then say¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan deliberately paused while speaking. ¡°Go, I¡¯ll go.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi suddenly stood up fearing he would be slow. When Ye Chuan and Protector Yang went out and only he stayed here, if the people of Heavenly Yao Sect came, then wouldn¡¯t that be mantis trying to stop the carriage? ¡°If that is the case, then let¡¯s go, and let Protector Yang stay behind by himself. He is very experienced, mature and steady, regardless of the situation, he would be able to handle the situation with ease. Fatty, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan smiled, and fatty Zaho Dazhi was speechless. He understood that he had been duped and fallen into his trap. But, since he had already woken up, he had to go with Ye Chuan, lamenting his cruel fate. Outside the courtyard, it was very quiet, there was not even a single guard. With Heavenly Yao Sect at the apex of its power, no one dared to break in, so usually, they didn¡¯t need to patrol inside the sect. Moreover, after the incident, the guards nearby might have left, lest they would be involved in this matter. With dark clouds densely covering the sky, under the hazy moonlight, the path was a bit blurred and couldn¡¯t be seen clearly. Following Ye Chuan making seven turns and eight curves for a little while, fatty Zhao Dazhi was completely confused. Now, he didn¡¯t know how far they had traveled from the small courtyard, and seeing the path was getting more and more remote, he couldn¡¯t help but became scared, ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, where are we going?¡± ¡°Just looking for a hidden place to lie low for the time being.¡± Ye Chuan said. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Fatty blushed with shame and could say nothing in reply, and after a while, wiping the sweat from his forehead, he asked, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, then¡­.., then what about Protector Yang?¡± At first, seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s indifference appearance, fatty Zhao Dazhi had thought that Ye Chuan had already prepared a well-thought-out plan, so he was slightly relaxed in his heart. But, suddenly hearing Ye Chuan saying he was looking for a place to lie low, his heart was thoroughly in a mess and he sweated profusely. ¡°Heaven helps the worthy, Protector Yang will certainly be fine. Tonight, he intentionally instructed us to take refuge, and he alone will deal with this problem. Protector Yang is a good person, ai, nowadays, there are fewer and fewer such good person, fatty, you should properly learn from Protector Yang, you should always prepare to sacrifice yourself for the safety of other people.¡± Ye Chuan said in all seriousness, appearing as if Protector Yang had already sacrificed himself for them. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I¡­¡± Fatty began continuously sweating profusely, and became even more nervous. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t appear to be lying, but his these talks, the more he listened, the more upset he became. Now, Protector Yang had sacrificed his life to protect Ye Chuan, next, what about after Protector Yang died? According to the words of Ye Chuan, didn¡¯t that mean it¡¯s his turn? Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, can you scam other people like this? Other people especially cheat outsiders, but you are especially cheating junior apprentice-brothers and junior apprentice-sisters! Fatty wailed in his heart. ¡°Almost there, let¡¯s go.¡± Seeing fatty was so scared, Ye Chuan shook his head, and walked forward in large strides. After seven turns and eight curves, walking for roughly half an hour, fatty arrived at the summit of Coiling Dragon Mountain. And a vast lake appeared in front of two people, under the hazy moonlight, it was gleaming, and one couldn¡¯t see the end of it. If he did not see with his own eyes, then even if he was beaten to death, fatty wouldn¡¯t have believed that there was such big lake on the top of the mountain. ¡°Coiling Dragon Heavenly pond, after so many years, I, Ye Chuan came back again¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered in a low voice and seeing this gleaming crystal clear lake, he became absent-minded. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what did you say? Where is this, you¡­¡­, have you been here before?¡± Fatty stepped forward and standing beside Ye Chuan, he was somewhat puzzled. He didn¡¯t know why, but without any reason, he was jumpy time and again, as if under the lake surface, a terrifying yao beast was hidden, and it could jump out at any time and swallow him in one bite. The path to go up the hill was meandering and circuitous, so he had long been confused, but Ye Chuan appeared to be very familiar with this path. How did he know there was such a lake in this place? ¡°Look up the book, this is Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond, the largest lake within Heavenly Yao Sect.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said. Seeing terrified and restless fatty, he suddenly placed his finger in his mouth and whistled, then said: ¡°The book said that this place not only has a beautiful lake, furthermore there is a kind-hearted, graceful and understanding Lady White continuously waiting here for her husband¡¯s reincarnation. Fatty, perhaps you are that person Lady White is looking for.¡± ¡°Lady White, where?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi asked in high spirit. Crash! In the calm and tranquil lake, suddenly a wave rose without any winds, and with a crashing sound, from under the water, a huge head bore out, and looked at fatty who was in high spirits. With a body as thick as the water vat, a white snake with the entire body completely white who had survived for unknown numbers of years suddenly bore out from the water. Is this the so-called Lady White? White is sufficiently white, is this that nice, graceful and understanding Lady White? Fatty Zhao Dazhi trembled and immediately lost his consciousness. Chapter 139: Really had to decapitate Chapter 139: Really had to decapitate Don¡¯t know after how long, fatty Zhao Dazhi woke up. The blow of cold wind brought a burst of chill in the air, and hulala hulala sound of water faintly came. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-brother, Big Senior Apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty struggled to sit up and looked all around for Ye Chuan¡¯s figure. Then raising his head to look, his entire body quivered all of a sudden, nearly losing consciousness again. At a distant point, in the middle of the misty lake, Ye Chuan was riding that white snake. One person and one snake were playing happily in the middle of the water. The entire body of this white snake who had lived in this Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond for unknown numbers of years was spotlessly white as if a jade, and from head to tail, there was not even a tiny speck of dark spot. The width of its body was as thick as water vat, and its body which appeared indistinctly in the water was a kilometer long. Sometimes, it would stretch out its body, carrying Ye Chuan into the waves; sometimes, it would move its head towards Ye Chuan, quietly leaning against him seemingly listening to Ye Chuan¡¯s talk, as if a peaceful young girl of the next-door family; sometimes, it would hide under the water not coming out as if a pouting young lady¡­¡­ Fatty Zhao Dazhi blankly stared at courageous Ye Chuan and also that changeable white snake. Before this moment, he had never seen nor heard such huge snake being so obedient, and so full of affection. What exactly is going on here? Did Big Senior Apprentice-Brother raise this white snake? How did Big Senior Apprentice-Brother know there was a lake on the summit of this mountain, furthermore know that there was a huge white snake here? In the end, who is Big Senior Apprentice-Brother? Many questions appeared in the mind of fatty Zhao Dazhi. Once familiar Big Senior Apprentice-Brother who was lacking courage and confidence, now seemed to be getting farther and farther away, moreover, become someone who couldn¡¯t be seen through. ¡°Hey, fatty, you finally wake up?¡± A familiar voice came, and the dazed fatty Zhao Dazhi looked up, only to see Ye Chuan in front of him. He didn¡¯t know when but Ye Chuan was already in front of him, however that huge white snake had already disappeared without a trace. The lake had also already reverted back to its previous calmness, looking as if a slumbering fairy maiden under the moonlight. The huge snake as if an air had disappeared as if it never existed, and everything was just his illusion. ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, where is that huge white snake?¡± The voice of fatty was somewhat trembling, and rubbing his eyes in disbelief, he carefully scanned all around but he didn¡¯t even see the shadow of that huge white snake. ¡°What huge white snake?¡± Ye Chuan looked all around, and said with a smile yet not a smile, ¡°Fatty, are you sick? If you are tired, just rest and sleep.¡± ¡°I am not sick, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I truly see it, truly¡­¡­¡± Fatty argued, but his eyelids got heavier and heavier, then he fell asleep on the ground. Huala, from under the surface of the water, suddenly a huge head sprang out. The huge white snake returned with a white colored medicinal herb holding on its mouth. ¡°Little White, thanks.¡± Ye Chuan stretched out his hand and gently caressed the head of this huge white snake, then, pounding this white colored medicinal herbs into pieces, he fed it to the asleep fatty. Then circulating his technique, he hit fatty, pushing his blood palace, helping to cleanse his tendons and marrows. When fatty Zhao Dazhi was in the state of alarm, Ye Chuan had joked with him, but now after he had fallen asleep due to his secret technique, he didn¡¯t hesitate to spend his vitality to help him cleanse his tendons and marrows. And this huge white snake beside him which he addressed as Lady White was the first old friend he had seen after returning to the Wilderness World after millions of years. Speaking about it, when Blue Eyed Yao Empress had established Heavenly Yao Sect at that time, he had gifted this white snake to Blue Eyed Yao Empress, raising it in this untainted Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond. This white snake was originally a super yao beast that had already cultivated to a high level and could transform into human form, called Lady White. It originally was one of the overlords of Wilderness World, and later came under the wings of Ye Chuan. It had formerly accompanied Ye Chuan to an ancient ferocious domain, and at that time, it unfortunately suffered severe injury and died without treatment. Afterward, Ye Chuan used a great technique to summon her spirit and made her reincarnate, unfortunately, her life was saved but all her techniques and cultivation were gone, even spiritual wisdom also vanished. Under sadness, Ye Chuan placed her in this Coiling Dragon Heavenly Lake in hope that one day she would give rise to self-awareness and spiritual wisdom. Now, millions of years had passed, and in this Wilderness World, the scenery remained the same but the people were changed, even Blue Eyed Yao Empress had also disappeared. And after a long time, the cultivation of Lady White had already returned to the pinnacle, becoming the guardian beast of Heavenly Yao Sect, unfortunately, her spiritual wisdom still hadn¡¯t recovered. She was unable to remember all the matters of those years, but she quietly cultivated day after day, year after year here in this Heavenly Pond. But when it saw Ye Chuan, although she still was unable to recall, however due to the mark engraved in the depth of her soul, she felt a sense of familiarity in Ye Chuan, so she came to the surface. Beside the lake, two people and one snake stayed motionless for a long time. Fatty was soundly asleep, and dim light circulated around his body. He had unknowingly broken through his bottleneck. Ye Chuan was silent, recalling the early days of Heavenly Yao Sect, while the huge white snake quietly leaned beside Ye Chuan. Her eyes were somewhat hazy, seemingly thinking of something, but also seemed confused. Heavenly Yao Sect, inside Heavenly Yao Hall. When Ye Chaun was absent-mindedly sitting beside Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond, Sect Protector Hou Shan was respectfully standing still. On the top of the hall, a grey-bearded old man wearing spotlessly white azure robe was sitting straight. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, in the view of this junior apprentice-brother, this time, Cloud Mist Sect has definitely come to ask a great favor, Zhu Guohong, that old man was ashamed to speak personally, so one can well imagine that they themselves also know that this favor is too excessive to ask.¡± Hou Shan had waited for a long time outside the Heavenly Yao Hall before he obtained the chance to meet Deacon Elder Tian Qing. Until now, he didn¡¯t know the matter of his son Hou Yuan Chang, so he was still talking normally, ¡°Each time they had some difficulty, they don¡¯t forget to look for our Heavenly Yao Sect, heh heh, how can this kind of matter be a good thing? Those who didn¡¯t treat them well are to be beheaded, what a joke, they unexpectedly still casually make indiscreet remarks on our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s laws, also claiming to be some sect¡¯s Big Disciple, he wants to make friends with us, the people of the same generation, what a joke! Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, no need to talk with them this time, without seeing them, let¡¯s just drive them out!¡± Hou Shan snorted, just recalling Ye Chuan, he would get irritated in his heart. If it was not for him considering the ancient treaty of alliance between Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect, and also considering the current reputation of Heavenly Yao Sect, he would have already wiped out Ye Chuan at an earlier time. ¡°No, it¡¯s unreasonable to directly drive them out. Regardless of anything, the friendship between the ancestors of Cloud Mist Sect and our Heavenly Yao Sect was not shallow. Hou Shan, it has already been so many years, but you are still too impulsive. Make arrangement, after two days, bring them here to see me.¡± Elder Tian Qing paused, the lowered his voice, ¡°In addition, there is a point you are wrong, according to our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s rules of very long ago, insubordination to them truly are punished by beheading, moreover, their souls are also completely shattered.¡± ¡°What?¡± Hou Shan cried out in alarm, this ancient rule, even he, the protector of Heavenly Yao Sect didn¡¯t know, how did Ye Chuan know this? Wild guess or he accidentally read this! Hou Shan was surprised and hearing this explanation, he was even angrier in his heart. You are good, Ye Chuan, you actually want to teach me the ancient law of Heavenly Yao Sect, it seems you truly don¡¯t want to live! Chapter 140: One Sword Hou Chapter 140: One Sword Hou Late at night, after leaving Heavenly Yao Hall, Hou Shan was still irritated in his heart. This time he had come to Heavenly Yao Hall to see Elder Tian Qing in hope that he would get the latter¡¯s permission to directly drive away the trio of Ye Chuan from the sect. Unexpectedly, not only did Elder Tian Qing didn¡¯t agree, he even brought up the ancient law of Heavenly Yao Sect, proving Ye Chuan, that brat was unexpectedly correct. Teaching me the ancient law of my Heavenly Yao Sect, boy, good, you are sufficiently presumptuous! Recalling Ye Chuan talking big by calling him junior apprentice-brother, Hou Shan was unhappy in his heart, very unhappy, and had an impulse to tear Ye Chuan to shreds. But, since Elder Tian Qing had already given instructions, even though he was unhappy in his heart, he also could do nothing about Ye Chuan, on the contrary, he had to make an arrangement for them to meet Elder Tian Qing after two days. Although Hou Shan was choking with resentment in his heart, he was forced to endure, but not long after, this flames of fury suddenly erupted. ¡°What? Hou Yuan Chang¡­¡­, he was killed by Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Ye Chuan? Is this matter really true?¡± Returning back to Coiling Dragon Mountain, he heard this alarming news, causing everything to blacken in front of him. He was startled as well as angry, and for a little while, he found this hard to believe. Who was Hou Yuan Chang? He was his only son, was an elite younger generation of Heavenly Yao Sect, furthermore, also was a real Rank 5 Xiushi expert. What about Ye Chuan, who was he? He was a trifling Rank 2 Xiushi realm average person, nothing more, his cultivation was fully three ranks lower than Hou Yuan Chang. And although he was sect¡¯s Big Disciple, but he was merely from a small sect, moreover, they had come to beg this time, so how could he dare raise his hand, and also how did he succeed? ¡°Your Excellency, this is true, Ye Chuan, that kid is too fierce, he had hidden himself well, when he suddenly erupted, even though we want to stop but all of us were unable to stop his attack!¡± A guard nervously reported, then with his signal, someone brought the corpse of Hou Yuan Chang. Hou Yuan Chang, who was doughty as a dragon and lively as a tiger and who always acted willfully with his father as his backer considering everyone beneath his notice in former days, not was already a rigid corpse. Hou Shan squatted down, then stretching his hand, he caressed his son¡¯s face, and while caressing, his palm trembled. ¡°My son, my son, ah¡­¡­¡± With tears flowing from the aged eyes of Hou Shan, suddenly, he roared loudly, and brandished a blood-red sword. Then with sword lights flashing, 13 guards inside the hall collapsed in unison, all of them without exception had strange sword cut on their throat. Some were clearly standing behind Hou Shan, and some were behind several people, but all of them were similarly beheaded with Hou Shan¡¯s attack. Yao Sword! Furious Hou Shan¡¯s eyes turned red with killing intent. Yao Sword, this technique, in his hand had truly reached the pinnacle. Hou Shan who was known as One Sword Hou thoroughly went out of control. As the protector of Heavenly Yao Sect, he was an important figure within Heavenly Yao Sect, and it had already been many years since he last raised his hand in person. But tonight, he broke his prohibition against killing life! And the first to suffer the disaster wasn¡¯t the trio of Ye Chuan, rather the guards of Hou Yuan Chang. ¡°Useless trash, what were you all doing? Go to hell, all of you go to hell for me!¡± Hou Shan roared loudly, and he looked ferocious as if a Slaughter God who had climbed out of his grave, intending to kill everyone on his sight. And seeing the situation was anything but reassuring, the guards and servants standing outside the door dispersed in confusion, everyone ran like mad in panic. Kacha kacha, the frequent sound of a sword leaving the sheath was accompanied by the sad and shrill screaming sound. With blood-red sword light streaking across the sky, people collapsed on the ground. After suddenly losing his son, Hou Shan had thoroughly gone insane. He massacred all the inhabitants of Hou courtyard. No need to talk about the guards of Hou Yuan Chang who didn¡¯t do their best to protect Hou Yuan Chang, even small odd-jobs men and maids who never left the courtyard were also killed like cutting up vegetables, then, he ferociously went towards the small courtyard where the trio of Ye Chuan was living, leaving behind the Hou courtyard full of blood. And this dense smell of blood quickly alerted the entire sect. Inside the small courtyard, Yang Tian Kuang who was sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating quietly suddenly woke up. And just after he opened his eyes, with a bang, the door fell apart, and he saw a blood-red sword light flying towards him. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± A mournful scream resounded in the night sky. Yang Tian Kuang didn¡¯t die, but he could see nothing but bloody light at this moment. Even though he was Rank 6 Xiushi realm expert, but in front of Rank 1 Daoist Master realm Hou Shan, he couldn¡¯t even withstand a single blow! ¡°Brat, I will see how much longer you can hide!¡± Hou Shan with ferocious expression grabbed a hidden lookout, then asked about the whereabouts of Ye Chuan, and then carrying severely injured Yang Tian Kuang, he rushed towards Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond. In Heavenly Yao Hall, he already had misgivings about the ancient treaty of alliance between Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect, but due to the instruction of Elder Tian Qing, despite being vexed in his heart, he was forced to endure. However, seeing the corpse of his son Hou Yuan Chang, he ignored everything else, tonight, he will kill Ye Chuan! On the summit, beside clear Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond, Ye Chuan who was lost in a myriad of thoughts suddenly woke up, as he sensed something. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what happened?¡± Asleep fatty Zhao Dazhi also woke up with a start, then confusedly looking all around, he saw quiet and empty surrounding around him, that huge white snake had already disappeared without a trace. ¡°Protector Yang met a mishap.¡± Ye Chuan replied. Fatty Zhao Dazhi was startled and woke up thoroughly, then getting up, he said: ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, quick, shouldn¡¯t we hurry down to save him?¡± ¡°It¡¯s too late, but rest assured, Protector Yang isn¡¯t dead, and his life is also not in danger.¡± Ye Chuan quietly sat cross-legged on the ground, but his divine sense however was spread out, and he was calm and composed. And when he had just finished speaking, a thick smell of blood was blown over by the wind, and shortly afterward, the figure of Hou Shan appeared at a distant place. He was rushing over carrying severely injured Yang Tian Kuang, and behind him, there were large groups of disciples and guards of Heavenly Yao Sect. Incoming! Heavenly Yao Sect really is moving! Fatty Zhao Dazhi who had just woken up trembled fearing for his immediate future. Seeing the appearance of Hou Shan, he knew that there was no spare room to dodge this disaster. Even Protector Yang Tian Kuang who was strongest among the three of them wasn¡¯t his opponent, so how could he and Ye Chuan deal with him? Even before seeing how Heaven Burning Furnace looked like, were they going to die here? The speed of Hou Shan was amazing, very quickly, he arrived in front of the two people, and when he was only ten steps away from them, he suddenly stopped his step, and his bloody killing intent soared. ¡°Boy, did you kill my son Hou Yuan Chang?¡± Gnashing his teeth, and unwaveringly staring at Ye Chuan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his bloodshot eyes, he asked. ¡°Yes!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, without any hesitation, he openly acknowledged in public. ¡°Why? Tell me, why did you kill my son?¡± Hou Shan took a step forward, and breathing heavily, the energy fluctuation within his body rose steadily, and the sword in his hand hummed, preparing for the strongest attack. ¡°Why not, do I need a reason to kill him?¡± Facing the pressure of Hou Shan, the entire body of fatty Zhao Dazhi trembled, but Ye Chuan just sneered, and looking at bloody Yang Tian Kuang, a pallid light flashed in his eyes. Protector Yang Tian Kuang didn¡¯t die, this point wasn¡¯t wrong, but what was unexpected was, although he had not died, but Hou Shan was incomparably ferocious when attacking! ¡°Hahaha, don¡¯t need a reason?¡± Hou Shan was so angry that he laughed, this was the most inconceivable and also most insane reply he had ever heard since his birth. ¡°Yes, don¡¯t need a reason to kill you son Hou Yuan Chang and also don¡¯t need a reason to kill you either.¡± Ye Chuan slowly stood up, and a majestic energy fluctuation erupted from inside his body. The three Heaven Swallowing Talismans began to rotate crazily. A pin against an awl! [T.N: a pin against an awl: opposing each other with neither prepared to give an inch] A battle of life-and-death was about to suddenly break out beside Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond. Rank 2 Xiushi ream against Rank 1 Daoist Master ream, this was basically not a fight. The words of Ye Chuan sounded very arrogant and even very ridiculous, but no one laughed, instead everyone were incomparable nervous. With the precedent of him beheading Hou Yuan Chang placing both of his hand on his back, now, no one dared to underestimate Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. Only Gods knows whether this wildly arrogant Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect had a deadly move or had a terrifying treasure with him. Chapter 141: His Excellency Tian Ku Chapter 141: His Excellency Tian Ku After seeing the corpse of his son Hou Yang Chang, Hou Shan broke his prohibition against taking life, but, facing Ye Chuan, this murderer, he instead was not in a hurry to strike. Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond suddenly became quiet. After Ye Chuan and Hou Shan became silent, all people coincidentally shut their mouth. It was so quiet that they could hear their own heartbeat. It was quiet around, but the bone-piercing cold killing intent was becoming denser and denser in the air. Suddenly waves appeared on the clear, light reflecting Heavenly Pond even though it was windless. The surface of the water which was smooth as if mirror also rippled due to the dense killing intent in the air. ¡°Boy, do you know how old I was when I had my son?¡± Hou Shan said taking the initiative to break the silence and took a step forward. At an unknown time, his bright red eyes had already become clear which flashed with cold pallid light. He had not truly revert back to his calmness rather he had strengthened his determination to behead Ye Chuan. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. ¡°73 years old.¡± Hou Shan once again took a step forward, and leaving only seven steps between him and Ye Chuan, he coldly said: ¡°When I was 73 years old, at that time, Heaven had pity on me and finally let me have a son.¡± ¡°Not bad, Heavenly truly had pity on you for blessing a child in such old age. But, what do you want to explain with this?¡± Ye Chuan looked at aggressive Hou Shan and coldly said: ¡°Explain that it was not easy for you to have a son, so I shouldn¡¯t have killed him? Or want to explain that you, junior apprentice-brother, even though was 73 years old, you still had the capability to give birth to a child?¡± The on-looking crowds instantly made an uproar, and among the originally nervous people, some people suddenly wanted to laugh. The heavy atmosphere, because of the words of Ye Chuan suddenly lose its original flavor. Fatty Zhao Dazhi also wanted to laugh, but he truly was unable to laugh. Hearing the news, more and more disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect rushed over, and their cultivation was more powerful compared to one before. Anyone who was chosen casually among of them could absolutely defeat fatty, so seeing them, the heart of fatty continuously shivered. The face of Hou Shan reddened just like the dark red liver of a pig. Then taking a step again fuming with anger, he ferociously said, ¡°Brat, do you know, for nurturing my son Hou Yuan Chang into an expert, from his childhood, how much effort, crystal stones and pills I spent? Do you know how much price I paid?¡± Thinking about his son Hou Yuan Chang who had just meet with a sudden death, the heart of Hou Shan bled. In this last few years, for nurturing his son, he really had spared effort. When his son grew up, he hoped his son to enter Elite Hall and hoped an elder to select him as his personal disciple. However, one blade of Yew Chuan shattered all his dreams and effort, who would understand this pain? ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± Ye Chuan honestly answered, then said indifferently: ¡°Unfortunately, if those crystal stones and pills were used to raise pigs, then perhaps they would have become yao pigs, and become useful for guarding the sect.¡± Among the crowds, finally, someone couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Among the younger generation Heavenly Yao Sect, self-proclaimed Grandpa Hou, Hou Yuan Chang had a nickname in private, which was Pig Hou. Not that Hou Yuan Chang looked like a pig, rather he was stupid like a pig. Many similar aged disciples who had started cultivation at the same time had already broken through to Rank 7 Xiushi by themselves, but he wasted countless crystal stones and pills, moreover, had forcibly seized many resources with the aid of his father Hou Shan¡¯s power and influence, still he was only able to barely break through to Rank 5 Xiushi realm with great difficulty. Worthless, he had always been a joke of Heavenly Yao Sect. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know the nickname of Hou Yuan Chang, but happened to speak correctly, speaking out the thinking of many disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect. Hou Shan was unable to endure any more, his complexion became purplish red. Originally, he wanted to slowly torture before killing Ye Chuan, but hearing people laugh at him, he could no longer endure. He ferociously charged forward while roaring, ¡°Brat, I will kill you with one sword!¡± Swift and fierce sword light streaked across the sky, and many disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who were standing 100 meters away instantly felt as if a cold sword light was pressed against their neck, and they were so scared that, they hastily retreated. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, watch out!¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi screamed, but before he had finished screaming, Ye Chuan kicked him flying. Kacha, a deep sword mark appeared on the ground, if Ye Chuan was even a bit slower, then Ye Chuan and fatty would have cut into pieces. Powerful! Protector Hou Shan¡¯s this one sword slash, perhaps would have swept away even the same realm expert! The reputation of One Sword Hou really wasn¡¯t empty reputation! The heart of all the disciples looking from the sidelines trembled witnessing the power of this Protector Hou Shan. Fatty crawled and rolled to the side of Protector Yang Tian Kuang, and hugging seriously injured Yang Tian Kuang, he looked towards ferocious and mighty Hou Shan, then with his fatty meat trembling, he prayed for Ye Chuan. ¡°What Sect Protector, so little skill? Sufficient ferociousness but insufficient variation, Yao Sword is not used like that! Ai, such a nice technique, but is there already no one in Heavenly Yao Sect who truly understand it?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and sighed. In a head-on fight, Ye Chuan naturally was not the opponent of Hou Shan, their cultivation realm was very far from each other. If Hou Shan used other techniques, then the situation might really become bleak, but if Hou Shan only relied on Yao Sword which made him famous, then Ye Chuan was relaxed. In the eyes of the others, the cultivation of Yao Sword by Hou Shan had already reached the acme of perfection, but in the eyes of Ye Chuan, the founder of this technique, it was far worse. Just like his son Hou Yuan Chang, Hou Shan had committed a great taboo, unfortunately, they were not aware! ¡°Brat, don¡¯t dodge if you have guts, I will chop you with one slash!¡± Hou Shan shouted angrily and initiated ferocious attacks again, one slash faster than other. At the beginning, relying on his brilliant eyesight, Ye Chuan dodged skillfully and easily, he often dodged the fatal blows of Hou Shan in one step. But slowly, the great difference between their cultivation began to show, and it began to get more and more dangerous. Sometimes, even if he was fully aware of the attack of Hou Shan, and knew from where the sword slash of Hou Shan was coming, he was somewhat less capable than desirable. Absolute strength, it really was the Way of the King, could crush and kill all! Ye Chuan sighed inwardly, he understood that his current cultivation was too low, then insanely circulating three Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, just when he was about to reveal his trump card, suddenly a loud shout come from a distant place, ¡°Stop!¡± An earth-shaking pressure suddenly weighed down from the horizon. Beside Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond, including Ye Chuan and Hou Shan, everyone felt heavy pressure, as if they were being pressed down by an invisible huge mountain. Did a great expert of Heavenly Yao Sect come? Fatty Zhao Dazhi¡¯s eye shone, but he didn¡¯t know whether this was a blessing or a misfortune. Ye Chuan also slightly narrows his eyes, meeting all changes by remaining unchanged. ¡°Kill!¡± Hou Shan was shocked in his heart, under this indescribable pressure, his strength and speed were greatly reduced, and he understood that a super expert of the sect was alerted. But after pausing for a bit, he didn¡¯t stop, instead, he pounced towards Ye Chuan with all his strength. He wanted to take advantage of the time before this expert arrived here to kill Ye Chuan. His son Hou Yuan Chang was dead, so he would rather face the wall for 100 years than to not kill Ye Chuan. He was determined to kill Ye Chuan! ¡°Audacious!¡± The cold voice suddenly resounded. Then something streak across the sky, firmly landing on Hou Shan. After that, this Rank 1 Daoist Master realm Sect Protector, all of a sudden collapsed to the ground and wailed mournfully. From head to foot, a long bloody scar appeared on his body. This was caused not by a treasure, rather by a commonplace dry twig! Then with a whistling sound in the dark sky, a six or seven meters tall giant landed over here. His body was wrapped around with a large bark-like armor. And after he appeared, a heavy pressure welled up in the heart of people, and they had difficulty in breathing. ¡°Your Excellency Tian Ku?¡± ¡°This disciple is guilty, this disciple pays respect to Your Excellency Tian Ku!¡± ¡­¡­.. After seeing the appearance of this giant, the complexion of numerous disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect changed greatly, and they respectfully knelt on the ground. The four limbs of Hou Shan became ice-cold, and his heart was also ice-cold to the extreme. Only a bit more and he could have killed Ye Chuan, however he was stopped, so he was so vexed that he really wanted vomit blood! Chapter 142: Your weight is a bit insufficient Chapter 142: Your weight is a bit insufficient The movement within the sect alarmed many disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, and after hearing the news, more and more people of Heavenly Yao Sect rushed to Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond. In an extremely short period of time, more than thousand people gathered in this place. Among these people, there were ordinary outer sect disciples, odd-job men, elite inner sect disciples and even Sect Protector and so on experts. Heavenly Yao Sect had a strict hierarchy, so even the disciples and experts who had rushed over to watch the excitements after hearing the news were respectful, and none dare to squeeze to their side. But, after this six or seven meters tall Kumu warrior appeared, all the people including other sect protectors respectfully fell to their knees. Hou Shan was also the same, even if he was not reconciled in his heart, he had no choice but to give up attacking Ye Chuan. ¡°Who are you?¡± Kumu called Tain Ku looked towards Ye Chuan with an ice-cold gaze, then asked in an ice-cold and as if muffled thunder voice. ¡°He is a murderer, Your Excellency Tian Ku, he killed my son Hou Yuan Chang, this brat¡­¡­¡± Before Ye Chuan could speak, Hou Shan who was kneeling on the ground hastily spoke, and ferociously glaring at Ye Chuan, he gashed his teeth, looked as if he was dying to eat Ye Chuan. Pa! A three meter long dry twig suddenly appeared out of thin air in the hand of this Kumu warrior, and as if a whip, he ferociously lashed on Hou Shan. In an instant, this Rank 1 Daoist Master realm Sect Protector screamed, and another long and deep scar appeared on his body. Moreover, with a scalp falling off, he was in sorry figure dripping with blood, and now, more than half of his body was numb. He felt as if his cultivation was useless against this lash of this Kumu warrior! ¡°If I didn¡¯t ask you then don¡¯t speak, don¡¯t you understand? How many years did this lordship go for a seclusion cultivation? In less than 100 years, current disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect are absolutely lawless like this, do you think the law of the sect is just an air?¡± Kumu warrior snorted, and with a cold face, killing intent soared, making the entire atmosphere even heavier. Beside Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond, the heart of the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who were kneeling on the ground trembled, each and every one was anxious. In Heavenly Yao Sect, the name Tian Ku of Kumu warrior was the embodiment of demon, was the symbol of the laws of the sect. Unknown numbers of brilliant but proud and overbearing genius disciples had died in his hand. Seeing him, even Sect Protector and Elders were very cautious, and wouldn¡¯t dare to go one step beyond the limit. Hou Shan became a little wiser, and firmly shut his mouth. Although his body was dripping with blood, but he didn¡¯t dare to even groan in pain. Merely, his complexion became even more ferocious and even more sinister. Don¡¯t know when but his eyes had already begun to turn red again, as if he was about to shed blood from them. ¡°Speak, who are you?¡± Kumu warrior no longer looked at Hou Shan who was kneeling on the ground, and looking towards Ye Chuan who was wearing completely different attire compared to the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, he asked again. At this moment, he only had one purpose, as ordered, he only wanted to know the identity of the guests who were staying in Coiling Dragon Mountain Courtyard. He basically didn¡¯t care about anything else. ¡°Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s 517th generation Big Disciple, Ye Chuan.¡± Ye Chuan slightly bowed and said. Seeing this extremely oppressing giant, fatty became ghastly pale, and was even more panic-stricken. Ye Chuan nevertheless remained calm, wasn¡¯t flustered and nervous in the slightest, on the contrary, he was somewhat excited. Wanting to alarm the higher level of Heavenly Yao Sect, this basically was his purpose. King of Hell is open to persuasion, but demon servant is demanding, if he wanted to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, this kind of peerless treasure, which was also the defining treasure of Heavenly Yao Sect, looking for an average person was purely wasting time. So if he wanted to accomplish this seemingly inconceivable task then he had to use means beyond the thoughts of the ordinary people. First, he had to think of a way to alarm the highest level people of Heavenly Yao Sect, then directly discuss the matter with the person who controls Heavenly Yao Sect. The bigger the uproar the better, Ye Chuan was already prepared. Unfortunately, Hou Yuan Chang hit the spearpoint, and Ye Chuan merely push the boat along with the current, that¡¯s all. ¡°Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s? No wonder the alarm¡­¡­¡± Kumu warrior was somewhat surprised, then looking Ye Chuan up and down, he said, ¡°Youngster, why did you come to our Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± ¡°To borrow a thing.¡± Ye Chuan answered. ¡°What thing?¡± Kumu warrior somewhat strangely asked. It had already been very long time since he had left Heavenly Yao Sect, but in his memory, although Cloud Mist Sect was in decline for a long time, but every treasure one could imagine was passed down within the sect, so much so that they might have even more hidden treasure than Heavenly Yao Sect. With such a long inheritance, what thing did they have to borrow? ¡°Sorry, I cannot tell you, I can only tell the person of your Heavenly Yao Sect who can make the final decision.¡± Ye Chuan replied, directly rejecting to Kumu warrior whom everyone held in awe and veneration. What? All disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect looked at Ye Chuan in unison, they had stunned expression but incomparable admired him in their heart. Who was Tian Ku? Even if Great Elder Tian Qing of Heavenly Yao Sect saw him, he would be respectful, but Ye Chuan unexpectedly rejected him, did he had enough weight for this? Truly an ignorant was fearless, Ye Chuan, this kid was certainly not aware of the true status of Kumu warrior, he didn¡¯t know who he was! The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect consoled themselves in their heart, and looked towards Ye Chuan as if they were looking at an idiot, and was also like looking at a dead man. According to the legend, all the experts that defied Tian Ku died, and with just the cultivations of Ye Chuan, how would he not die? ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, youngster, you are saying this lordship¡¯s weight isn¡¯t enough?¡± Beyond the expectation of all people, Kumu warrior who killed people like flies wasn¡¯t angry and didn¡¯t raise his hand, instead laughed heartily as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. Within Heavenly Yao Sect, if he said he didn¡¯t have weight to speak, then, no need to speak about the people on the level of Hou Shan, even Great Elder Tian Qing should be ashamed. The matter he couldn¡¯t decide, even Tian Qing wouldn¡¯t be able to decide! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you are inviting disaster again!¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi pitifully looked at Ye Chuan, he wanted to cry but had no tears. Finally, with great difficulty, a high level of Heavenly Yao Sect came, but without hastily making a formal apology and making clear for what they had come for, and requesting the other party to make decision, this time, in public, he said the other party didn¡¯t have enough weight, wasn¡¯t this courting death? Fatty truly wanted to strangle Ye Chuan to dead, how could he cheat other people like this. Ye Chuan completely turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the mourning of fatty, just looking at Kumu warrior, he indifferently said: ¡°Yes, your weight isn¡¯t sufficient, still a bit insufficient.¡± The noisy Heavenly Pond suddenly became silent. Fatty Zhao Dazhi sweated profusely, and the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who were still kneeling also sweated profusely, worried that Kumu warrior in rage would break his prohibition against taking life and get involved in this matter of Ye Chuan for no reason. This brat of Cloud Mist Sect who dared to say anything, was he truly too tired of living? What Big Disciple, clearly was a fellow without a brain, it doesn¡¯t matter if you died, but don¡¯t implicate us! All the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect present here were wailing mournfully in their heart, only Hou Shan was the exception. Seeing Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t tell good from bad like this, Hou Shan laughed, and was wild with joy. This was good, he didn¡¯t need to raise his hand personally, and Ye Chuan would be torn into pieces by this Kumu warrior. Hou Shan who was dejected in his heart got excited, but very quickly, he was disappointed. Even though Ye Chuan spoke like this in public, but Kumu warrior with bad temper who killed people like flies unexpectedly didn¡¯t fly into rage, and strangely also didn¡¯t break the prohibition against taking life, rather said with a smile: ¡°Youngster, say, if this lordship¡¯s weight isn¡¯t enough, then within Heavenly Yao Sect, whose weight is enough?¡± ¡°Heavenly Empress!¡± Ye Chuan said in all seriousness, ¡°I want to see your Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s current generation Heavenly Empress, and speak with her in person.¡± Kumu warrior Tian Ku who was smiling suddenly froze, and the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect sweated even more profusely. Chapter 143: Bedeviled Chapter 143: Bedeviled The alarming sentence of Ye Chuan dumbfounded everyone. Compared to other sects, Heavenly Yao Sect had one biggest difference, which was, the person who controlled the entire sect was not Sect Master, rather Heavenly Empress. All the successive generation of Heavenly Empress were women selected from the midst of female disciples. Every Heavenly Empress, all were the loftiest personage of Heavenly Yao Sect and also were super experts whose cultivation was far higher compared to even numerous elders. In every few decades, the protectors change, and in several hundred years or in at most thousand years, the elders would also change, replaced by new experts. But as for Heavenly Empress, she would not change in even three thousand years, or eight thousand years or even several ten thousand years. Moreover, one could say that Heavenly Empress wouldn¡¯t change, only inherited. Only if the predecessor Heavenly Empress pass away or achieve the enlightenment on the great dao and went to the world beyond the highest heaven, then new Heavenly Empress would rose. Usually, Heavenly Empress would basically never make an appearance, staying in seclusion training for thousands of years, so all the big and small matters of the sect were handled by elders. Unless there was an earth-shaking great matter, Heavenly Empress would never appear. Nearly all of the disciples that joined Heavenly Yao Sect wouldn¡¯t get the opportunity to see Heavenly Empire even once throughout their life, they just indistinctly hear about such person, nothing more, let alone outsiders. How old was Ye Chuan, still how did he know the existence of Heavenly Empress? Why was he looking for Heavenly Empress? Everyone was confused and shocked in their heart, even fatty Zhao Dazhi and Protector Yang Tian Kuang were feeling same. Although Yang Tian Kuang in the bosom of fatty was not able to see due to his bloody eyes, but his ears were perfectly fine. Even he had never heard of Heavenly Empress¡¯s existence, and before leaving, Great Elder Zhu Guohong also hadn¡¯t told him anything about this, so suddenly hearing Ye Chuan mentioning about Heavenly Empress, he was also shocked and confused in his heart. ¡°Why are you looking for our Heavenly Empress?¡± The expression of Tian Ku became cold and stern after Heavenly Empress was mentioned, ¡°Youngster, you better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, this lordship doesn¡¯t mind killing you, then take your corpse to Cloud Mist Sect to demand an explanation, and then exterminate your entire Cloud Mist Sect, completely tearing up by the roots!¡± The sky was still not bright, and under the hazy moonlight, the leaves floating in the sky suddenly fell down to the ground vertically. Kumu warrior didn¡¯t attack, but the pressure in the sky suddenly soared, and he began to emit unconcealed killing intent. The surface identity of Tian Ku was the elder of Heavenly Yao Sect, but in secret, he had yet another identity which was the personal guard of Heavenly Empress, moreover, he was also the only guard who stayed beside Heavenly Empress. His position was very high, and had a noble identity, even compared to Great Elder Tian Qing, he wasn¡¯t any inferior, and merely was below Heavenly Empress one person in the position. Ye Chuan said his weight was insufficient, for Tian Ku, this counted as a joke and the fearless of ignorant. But Ye Chuan clearly pointed out to see Heavenly Empress, this was a different matter. Even if the Sect Master of Cloud Mist Sect came in person, he also didn¡¯t have the qualification to request an audience with Heavenly Empress, so what does Ye Chuan count? Did he have enough qualification? Putting it nicely, Ye Chuan was presumptuous, he didn¡¯t know the height of the heaven or the depth of the earth! And to put it bluntly, he was blaspheming, blaspheming the prestige of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s sovereign, Heavenly Empress! ¡°I said, I came to borrow a thing. As for concrete details, after seeing Heavenly Empress, I will naturally say to her.¡± Ye Chuan replied, then calmly looking at Kumu warrior Tiang Ku, he indifferently said, ¡°Your cultivation is pretty good, but, if you want to exterminate our Cloud Mist Sect, then you are still very far away. First, no need to mention whether you have the ability or not, your Heavenly Empress will be the first person to stop it. Neither you all, the junior member of the sect can understand the alliance between of Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect of millions of years ago, nor you all can afford to profane it. Hereafter, pay attention when you are speaking, don¡¯t speak these kinds of things that will make the ancestors of your Heavenly Yao Sect feel ashamed.¡± Ye Chuan was calm and composed, under the pressure of Tian Ku, he didn¡¯t even flinch nor feel nervous, on the contrary, he lectured Tian Ku in public. In the view of the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, Tian Ku was aloof and remote, but he truly was nothing in the eyes of Ye Chuan. His these words, in the ears of people, sounded harsh to hear, presumptuous and ignorant, but for Ye Chuan, this truly was nothing. If it was the time when he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, then the Heavenly Empress of Heavenly Yao Sect would have to respectfully request for an audience to see him, even when the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect, Blue Eyed Yao Empress, saw him, she had to treat him with courtesy. But now, he paid a visit and request an audience to Heavenly Empress, this could already be regarded as somewhat condescending, if Blue Eyed Empress were to know this, then she would have already become nervous and restless. The expression of people was incomparably brilliant, surprised, disbelief and dumbstruck. ¡°Hahaha, Hahahaha, boy, who did you say that needs to pay attention? Believe it or not, now this lordship will kill you!¡± Kumu warrior was also stunned, then, he became so angry that he laughed. He spread open his palm, then suddenly a 100 meter long dry twig coiled up in the sky as if a withered yellow python, and the energy fluctuation suddenly rose in the sky, which suffocated even peak Rank 1 Daoist Master realm Hou Shan, making him feel harder to breathe. It appeared as if, if Tian Ku lashed out this whip, then a tear would appear in the sky. ¡°You don¡¯t dare, your duty is to just report to Heavenly Empress. Whether to kill me or not, that is the decision of Heavenly Empress.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently looked at Tian Ku, and still standing motionlessly, he secretly held an ancient seal. In clear light reflecting Heavenly Pond, at an unknown time, waves had appeared, and those waves got bigger and bigger, hitting the rocks on the shore. Listening carefully, there seemed to be angry roar within the waves. It was so indistinct that it was hard to tell if it really existed or not, but this caused the heart of people trembled, and they couldn¡¯t help getting scared. Seeing the waves of Heavenly Pond, a trace of uneasiness flashed in the eyes of Tian Ku, and his complexion became hard to determine. The power of long whip suspending in the air was frightening, but he didn¡¯t dare to lash out. The words of Ye Chuan were incomparably harsh to hear and presumptuous but he truly was not speaking wrongly. Although the status of Tian Ku was high, but he was merely a guard, nothing more, and this time he had left Complete Darkness Hall under the order of Heavenly Empress to examine the identity of the guests who were staying in the small courtyard of Coiling Dragon Mountain. So although his killing intention was soaring, but if he truly wanted to kill Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, then he had to think thrice. ¡°Kill, kill, kill him!¡± Hou Shan, on one side, was ferociously staring at Ye Chuan while mumbling to himself. He earnestly hoped for Tian Ku to make a move and kill Ye Chuan immediately! Unfortunately, the more he hoped, the greater the disappointment, Hou Shan was disappointed again. After hesitating for a while, Tian Ku withdrew the whip, and said, ¡°Boy, well, this lordship will go to report. Pray for your good luck, otherwise, you are dead!¡± Beyond all expectation, Tian Ku turned and left to report back to that white-haired Heavenly Empress. The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect kneeling on the ground raised their head in disbelief. As for fatty Zaho Dazhi and Protector Yang Tian Kuang, both of them relaxed, and even Ye Chuan was the same. ¡°No¡­¡­, brat, His Excellency Tian Ku didn¡¯t kill you, but, I will kill you!¡± Hou Shan kneeling on the ground suddenly rose violently, then he rushed to the front of Ye Chuan, and ferociously swatted towards Ye Chuan with full power! Unless he killed Ye Chuan, he wouldn¡¯t be reconciled, recalling the corpse of his son Hou Yuan Chang, anger rose from the bottom of his heart. And after Tian Ku turned around to leave, the flames of fury in his heart erupted like a volcanic eruption. Outside the expectation of everyone, when Ye Chuan was in his most lax state, regardless of everything, Hou Shan attacked with all his strength. This moment, he was bedeviled, and as if mad, he only wanted to kill Ye Chuan. Now he paid no heed to the command of Tian Ku, discarding everything to the back of his mind! Chapter 144: Lady showing her prowess and prestige Chapter 144: Lady showing her prowess and prestige ¡°Hou Shan, stop!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, watch out¡­¡­¡± People cried out in alarm. Beyond the expectation of everyone, Protector Hou Shan made a move. This fellow who was famous for cultivating Yao Sword technique to the acme of perfection, suddenly abandoned the sword and swatted towards Ye Chuan. And even Ye Chuan was caught unprepared. ¡°Audacious!¡± Kumu warrior Tian Ku who had not reached far away, turned around immediately and a whip appeared in his hand. Unfortunately, Hou Shan wholeheartedly wanted to kill Ye Chuan. And this attack was fast and ferocious, so it was too late for even the whip of Tian Ku to stop it. Rank 1 Daoist Master realm against Rank 2 Xiushi realm, moreover a surprise attack, the outcome was very clear! Seeing it was already too late for Ye Chuan to dodge, the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect had different expression, some shook their head and sighed, but even more of them sneered. Brat, who told you to act wildly, this is the price of being presumptuous! Even without the order of Heavenly Empress, you will die here beside Heavenly Pond! ¡°Hahaha, brat, go to hell, you forced me to do this!¡± Hou Shan laughed heartily, seeing Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have time to dodge, his face twisted, and this moment, he was incomparably happy. Not far away, fatty Zaho Dazhi and blinded Protector Yang Tian Kuang rushed to rescue, but they were also too far away to save Ye Chuan in time. Although there were many experts beside Heavenly Pond, but the things occurred so suddenly that no one had enough time to stop Hou Shan. ¡°No, it¡¯s you who forced me.¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at extremely vicious Hou Shan, and seeing it was too late to dodge, he didn¡¯t dodge, just circulated three Heaven Swallowing Talismans, preparing to counter-attack. Huala! Suddenly a more than 100 meters high wave surge forth along with the fierce wind in Heavenly Pond, and a huge head appeared, then a long white body. After that, it opened its mouth and rushed forward. And then, Hou Shan who was looking at Ye Chuan that was about to get swatted by him was suddenly bitten by this huge white snake. Now only upper half from his waist was visible. Fatty Zhao Dazhi was so scared that his soul nearly flew away seeing this huge white snake called Lady White. It suddenly appeared in front of the public and swallowed more than half of Hou Shan¡¯s body. In order to alert the highest level person of Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan wanted to stir up big trouble, so even when he was confronting Kumu warrior Tian Ku, he objected to him. But he was being presumptuous, not because of ignorance rather he was prepared. This terrifying huge snake was one of his trump cards. He didn¡¯t come to this Heavenly Pond at random. Originally, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to easily reveal this trump card, but he couldn¡¯t help, Hou Shan, this fellow was bedeviled and was crazy, so he was forced to attack! ¡°My God, what is this?¡± ¡°White Dragon, legendary guardian beast White Dragon!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect cried out in alarm, and everyone hastily retreated, but their legs softened. Seeing the only half section of Hou Shan was visible, everyone was terror-stricken. According to the legend, Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond had an ancient White Dragon. Its entire body was white and was the guardian beast of Heavenly Yao Sect. Whenever Heavenly Yao Sect encountered formidable enemy or disaster, it would appear to help Heavenly Yao Sect withstand the disaster. Moreover, there was a rumor that if they pray beside Heavenly Pond in the full-moon night, they would obtain the blessing of White Dragon and their dreams would come true. This rumor attracted many men and women of successive generations to pray for their love life. The legend of Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond was passed down from generation to generation in Heavenly Yao Sect, but very few had actually seen this White Dragon. But now, seeing the sudden appearance of guardian beast, all were badly scared. Didn¡¯t they say only when Heavenly Yao Sect encountered disaster, White Dragon would appear? Could it be that Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect that had come from afar was the embodiment of the disaster? No, White Dragon was the guardian beast of Heavenly Yao Sect, but why didn¡¯t it attack Ye Chuan, this outsider, instead, swallowed half the body of Hou Shan? The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were confused, and retreating far away to one side, they looked at this terrifying huge white snake in alarm. Its body that was out of the water surface was already 200 or 300 meters long, furthermore, it had more than half of its body inside the water. Now looking at this former days¡¯ calm and tranquil Heavenly Pond, everyone was frightened. Kumu warrior Tian Ku quickly rushed back, and looking at this huge white snake that had appeared suddenly, he became tense. He stood at some distance, and didn¡¯t dare to act recklessly. ¡°Save me, Your Excellency Tian Ku, save me, save¡­save me¡­¡­¡± Even though half the body was already inside the mouth of this snake, Hou Shan unexpectedly hadn¡¯t died, he just wailed mournfully. After swallowing half of his body, the huge white snake didn¡¯t make a move, just holding its head high, it stayed behind Ye Chuan, appearing as if it was the battle pet Ye Chuan had raised. Its body was spotlessly white without any flaw, and its eyes were ice-cold without the slightest bit of emotion. It appeared as if as long as Ye Chuan gave an order, it would immediately swallow still wailing mournfully and struggling Hou Shan while alive. ¡°Save? Who will save you now? Your Excellency Protector, it¡¯s you who forced me, resign yourself to fate!¡± Ye Chuan looked at ghastly pale Hou Shan shaking his head, then secretly signaled Lady White. Lady White understood his intention and moved its mouth, now the body of Hou Shan was swallowed to his chest, only the part above his chest was visible outside. Seeing this, this fellow who considered everyone beneath his notice was scared witless, and the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect also screamed in terror. ¡°Enough, stop this here!¡± Kumu warrior Tian Ku walked forward with heavy steps, and staring intently at Ye Chuan, he lowered his voice: ¡°Youngster, this lordship doesn¡¯t know what method you use to confuse our guardian beast, White Dragon, but everything ends here. In exchange for this lordship returning to report to Heavenly Empress, ask White Dragon to release him, how is that?¡± ¡°This proposal is not up to much, it is your duty to report to Heavenly Empress, why should I exchange for it?¡± Ye Chuan remained unmoved, facing intently staring Kumu warrior, he was calm and composed, and he said, ¡°Of course, letting off this Protector surnamed Hou with life isn¡¯t impossible, killing this kind of worthless nobodies is only dirtying my hand. As long as he makes a formal apology and admits his mistake, considering the friendship of Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect, I will not argue about the matters of before.¡± ¡°Surnamed Ye, you are bulling intolerably¡­¡­¡± Hou Shan nearly passed out hearing those words of Ye Chuan. According to this talk of Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan killed his son Hou Yuan Chang, and he was also barely alive, but no need to talk about taking a revenge, he still had to apologize in public, if it wasn¡¯t bulling intolerably, then what else was that? Hou Shan who was originally wailing mournfully asking for a rescue, now was so angry that he trembled and wasn¡¯t able to speak. ¡°Your Excellency Tian Ku, you saw it yourself, it¡¯s not that I am ruthless, but Hou Shan himself didn¡¯t want to live!¡± Ye Chuan coldly smiled, and huge white snake moved its mouth. Now only the shoulder above parts of Hou Shan¡¯s body was visible from outside. ¡°Boy, you¡­¡­¡± Kumu warrior Tian Ku roared, he was both surprised and angry, but didn¡¯t dare to step forward. He was also helpless at this moment. Now, the matter had already developed completely outside of his expectation and control, and also was thoroughly going out of control. Chapter 145: Heavenly Maiden Chapter 145: Heavenly Maiden ¡°Who dares to act wantonly in our Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± A simple and vigorous, majestic voice came from far, and a middle-aged person wearing azure war robe flew over. He was somewhat thin, but he possessed a majestic aura of a superior person without anger and power. ¡°We pay respect to Elder Tian Qing!¡± All the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect uniformly knelt down, only Kumu warrior Tian Ku was still standing motionlessly. ¡°Tian Ku, you are here?¡± Tian Qing slightly cupped his hands towards Kumu warrior in greeting, as these two people were of equal standing in Heavenly Yao Sect. Then seeing the huge white snake behind Ye Chuan as well as Hou Shan whose only head was visible in the mouth of the huge white snake, his complexion changed, ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± ¡°Senior Apprentice-Brother, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Tian Qing, save me, save me ah¡­¡­¡± Hou Shan loudly called for help, he was incomparably nervous and scared. In the view of other people, the huge white snake appeared motionless, but Hou Shan in its mouth however felt that his body was slowly sliding down the throat of this snake. If no one made the move to save him, then he would certainly kick the bucket and be buried in the stomach of the snake. ¡°Are you the people of Cloud Mist Sect? Tell me your demands, but first release him!¡± Tian Qing was shocked in his heart, he similarly didn¡¯t know how Ye Chuan, this outsider confused Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s guardian beast White Dragon, but Great Elder after all was Great Elder, he who attended numerous affairs every day and experienced an unknown number of storms quickly calmed down. And his pair of eyes coldly stared at Ye Chuan. ¡°I don¡¯t have a problem to release him, it¡¯s just a trivial matter, merely I have a small request, I want to see Heavenly Empress.¡± Ye Chuan took a deep breath, and calmly said. Even the Great Elder Tian Qing of Heavenly Yao Sect was alerted, this activity didn¡¯t let him down, now he had again taken another step closer to the success. But, this was still not enough, he wanted to see Heavenly Empress of Heavenly Yao Sect who had the highest status in this sect, all others didn¡¯t have sufficient qualification. ¡°Oh, I also don¡¯t have enough weight, and not enough qualification?¡± Tian Qing¡¯s gaze became even colder, he who talks much errs much, clearly, he had already noticed the activity of this place, but appeared only at this time. He was also an old fox. ¡°That¡¯s right, still a bit lacking.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and talked big. ¡°Even with us two together, we still don¡¯t have enough qualification?¡± Tian Qing took a step forward, and standing beside Kumu warrior Tian Ku, he lowered his voice: ¡°The two of us, one is Deacon Great Elder, and another is the only guardian of Heavenly Empress, our status is under only one person, and above all the hundred millions followers of Heavenly Yao Sect, and as for our cultivation, we don¡¯t dare to say it is exceedingly high, but is only one step away from Sage realm. Youngster, even if you request thousands of Spirit Veins or even want to overthrow Da Qin Dynasty, we think that we can make the decision. Still, why do you think we don¡¯t have sufficient qualification?¡± On the summit, the expression of all the people of Heavenly Yao Sect changed in unison, and they didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily. Spirit Veins were nothing, Heavenly Yao Sect controlled many Spirit Veins, but overthrowing Da Qin Dynasty, this was deliberately exaggerating so as to create a sensation. After new Da Qin King ascended the throne, he led his army to suppress in all directions, and even attempted to dip his finger in cultivation sects. Although Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s power was huge and had the solid foundation, but gradually, they also experienced the pressure of Da Qin King. But this time, they publicly claimed that they could help Ye Chuan overthrow Da Qin King, if by any chance this rumor was to spread, then wouldn¡¯t it¡­¡­ The complexion of Kumu warrior Tian Ku also changed slightly, then looked at Tian Qing beside him, but said nothing. Tian Qing however didn¡¯t bat an eyelid, still coldly stared at Ye Chuan. ¡°Good big tone, unfortunately, my request is still bigger than overthrowing Da Qin King, so your qualification is still not enough to make the decision.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently replied. Beside Heavenly Pond, the complexion of people changed again, now even Tian Qing was the same. Request still bigger than overthrowing Da Qin King, this boy, what exactly did he want? Could it be that he wanted to join Heavenly Yao Sect to become the Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple of the younger generation, and directly replace Tian Qing to control Heavenly Yao Sect to reach the sky in a single bound? Or to say, he wanted help to cleanse his tendons and marrows and breakthrough to peak Daoist Master realm in one fell swoop, so he wanted to meet Heavenly Empress in person. People had their eyes wide open staring at Ye Chuan in disbelief and misgivings. ¡°Elder Tian Qing and His Excellency Tian Ku together don¡¯t have enough qualification, then what about after adding me?¡± Another voice came from far away. A woman wearing seven-colored war robe as if riding the clouds and flying on the mist came over from far away, then landed beside the Heavenly Pond. And in an instant, the eyes of everyone shone. The first feeling this woman gave to people at first glance was white, white jade-like pure white. Her hair however was jet-black rolled up on the back of her head. She had exquisite facial features, the more you looked the more you want to look, she was noble but not haughty, and was pure as jade and clean as ice, giving people a feeling that they could only look at her from far. Dressed in seven-colored war robe, she also had an indistinct seven-colored halo behind her head. She was young but her cultivation indistinctly appeared to be equally matched with Elder Tian Qing, clearly was peak Daoist Master realm super expert. Her cultivation level was amazing. ¡°We pay respect to Heavenly Maiden!¡± All the people of Heavenly Yao Sect present here simultaneously bowed to salute, even Elder Tian Qing and Kumu warrior Tian Ku were no exception. This young woman, her status was unexpectedly even higher than these two giants of Heavenly Yao Sect! Ye Chuan took a deep breath, and suppressed the excitement of his heart. Heavenly Maiden was the personal disciple of successive Heavenly Empress, also was the only candidate to become next Heavenly Empress. And like Heavenly Empress, although she never leave from her seclusion cultivation throughout the year, her status and position nevertheless were aloof and remote. Heavenly Maiden came out, now only Heavenly Empress is left? Ye Chuan was calm without even batting an eyelid on the surface, but in his heart, he was greatly excited. As long as he met Heavenly Empress, the task of this time was half complete! ¡°Youngster, now you say, with three of us here together, are we still not sufficiently qualified?¡± Heavenly Maiden slightly looked towards Elder Tain Qing and Kumu warrior Tian Ku and returned their salute, then looking towards Ye Chuan, she calmly said but her eyes were ice-cold. With not a speck of dust from head to toe, she looked transcendent and refine as if a female celestial above worldly material attractions. ¡°No enough, still a bit lacking.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, and the huge white snake behind, Lady White¡¯s throat moved, and Hou Shan slide down even more, now only head was outside the mouth of this huge white snake. The complexion of the people of Heavenly Yao Sect changed again, but fatty Zhao Dazhi felt nothing as he was already numb, and he looked as if he was already prepared to get boiled or get roasted. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Tian Qing, Heavenly Maiden, save me, save me¡­¡­¡± Hou Shan shouted himself hoarse, now he was just howling without any thoughts in his mind. All the anger, unwillingness and hatred of before, at this moment, were already discarded to the back of his head, and now he was only scared out of his wits. The complexion of Elder Tian Qing changed slightly, and Kumu warrior Tian Ku also frowned. As for detached and refined Heavenly Maiden, her ice-cold expression didn¡¯t change, and she didn¡¯t even frown, moreover, completely ignoring the shouts of Hou Shan, she coldly ordered: ¡°Everyone under Heavenly Yao Sect, heed my command, kill this devil of Cloud Mist Sect for me, kill without pardon!¡± Shinng! Ice-cold sword light suddenly streaked across the sky. On one hand Heavenly Maiden gave the order, and on the other hand, she pulled out the sword hanging on her waist, then rushed towards Ye Chuan, wanting to take the head of Ye Chuan. Even though Ye Chuan was under the protection of huge white snake, and even though Ye Chuan had Hou Shan as the hostage, she didn¡¯t hesitate to make a move. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Together, kill this great devil!¡± The experts of Heavenly Yao Sect stood up in succession, and instantly, under the command of this Heavenly Maiden, they jointly attacked. Chapter 146: Heavenly Yao Great Formation Chapter 146: Heavenly Yao Great Formation ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, don¡¯t mind us, quickly run away!¡± Fatty Zaho Dazhi hopelessly shouted loudly with a completely pale face. Raising his head and looking, he saw several hundreds of experts of Heavenly Yao Sect were rushing towards him. There were innumerable Daoist Master realm experts, even if Great Elder Zhu Guohong, Second Elder Nangong Ren and other experts of Cloud Mist Sect were here, they wouldn¡¯t be able to stop this attack! ¡°Ai, do you all truly want to force me to raise my hand?¡± Ye Chuan ignored the cry of fatty Zhao Dazhi, and softly sighed. Roar! The white snake whose more than half body was still in the water flipped out, then spitting out half dead Hou Shan from its mouth, it raised its head high. Hula, a more than 100 meters long snake tail sprang out from inside the water, and ferociously struck towards all those experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, sending them flying. Even Heavenly Maiden who was rushing in the front let out a muffled groan, her complexion turn pale, and her towering chest rapidly rose and fell. And as for other experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, they were similarly forced back. ¡°I will say it for the final time, I only want to meet your Heavenly Empress, my request is very simple, don¡¯t force me.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently looked at the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, and his gaze resting on the leader Heavenly Maiden, he calmly said. The complexion of all the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect sunk, all of them were tense, as they understood the meaning of Ye Chuan¡¯s words. Just now, the white snake had merely counterattacked to force back all the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. If it truly attacked, then it wouldn¡¯t be so simple! The guardian beast that existed from ancient times, who can contend against it? Looking at white snake behind Ye Chuan, the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect who considered themselves the best in the world in former days got nervous. The cultivation of Ye Chuan was nothing, it was not even worth mentioning, as any inner disciple could easily kill him, but that white snake possessing vast power gave them a headache. ¡°Boy, how did you tempt our guardian beast, speak!¡± Heavenly Maiden stared at Ye Chuan with her face covered with a layer of frost and said coldly. ¡°Those words are rather inappropriate, Your Excellency Heavenly Maiden, this white snake is not a beautiful woman like you, how can you talk about tempting?¡± Ye Chuan smiled evilly and continued, ¡°As for why this white snake came to my side and is helping me, I also don¡¯t know, perhaps, this is the so-called charm. Or perhaps, you all Heavenly Yao Sect might have done many bad deeds in these last few years, causing the wrath of Heaven and anger of men, so even your own guardian beast was unable to stand it any longer.¡± ¡°Get in formation, kill him for me at any cost!¡± Seeing the gaze of Ye Chuan was consciously or unconsciously resting on her towering chest, Heavenly Maiden was angry, and her murderous intentions flourished greatly. All the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect who had rushed to Heavenly Pond hearing the news got into action, immediately laying out three formations. And under the lead of Heavenly Maiden, Elder Tian Qing and Kumu warrior Tian Ku respectively, they separately advanced steadily towards Ye Chuan. Each formation had several hundred elites, whose combined strength increased the strength of Heavenly Maiden, Elder Tian Qing and Kumu warrior Tian Ku, making a display of their abilities. In the sky, an extremely dangerous aura spread out, which made even the white snake standing behind Ye Chuan somewhat tense. ¡°Heavenly Yao Great Formation?¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan finally changed. Heavenly Yao Sect had many formations, but truly the best among them was this ancient Heavenly Yao Great Formation which was passed down from generation to generation. This formation combined the strength, and the more people were in this formation, the greater the power. It was the formation used to deal with peerless experts. In millions of years, Heavenly Yao Sect relied on this formation to deal with unknown numbers of storms, and beheaded countless formidable enemies that came to challenge the sect. In former days, Ye Chuan had helped Blue Eyed Yao Empress to lay down the foundation of entire Heavenly Yao Sect, so he naturally was familiar about this Heavenly Yao Great Formation. If he was still as powerful as he was in former days, then he had many ways to easily break this formation, unfortunately, in this lifetime, he had just started cultivating, so even though he knew the ways to break this formation, he lacked the strength to do so. At that time, within his body, Ye Chuan suddenly felt energy fluctuation which was the aura of Evil Eyed Cow Demon King inside Cyan Lotus Lamp. Sensing the danger outside, it took the initiative to ask Ye Chuan to summon it to battle. Summoning all Evil Eyed Cow Demons, and laying out War Nation Formation to confront the formation of Heavenly Yao Sect, was there the possibility of success? Ye Chuan suddenly thought of this way, and instantly, he helplessly shook his head. The power of War Nation Formation was above the power of this formation of Heavenly Yao Sect, unfortunately, the number of Evil Eyed Cow Demons within Cyan Lotus Lamp was too small, so their fighting capability was too weak. Gathering together, they could deal with peak Xiushi realm expert, but if he wanted to deal with Heavenly Maiden, Elder Tian Qing and Kumu warrior Tian Ku, these peak Daoist Master realm experts, then the number of Evil Eyed Cow Demons were still very far from enough! ¡°Offending my Heavenly Yao Sect, kill!¡± Heavenly Maiden coldly stared at Ye Chuan, and seeing the complexion of the latter had finally changed, a smear of a grin appeared on her face. Then suddenly accelerating, she led Heavenly Yao Great Formation towards Ye Chuan. Three formations, three giants jointly raised their hand, furthermore with thousands of disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, instantly, their momentum soared, which appeared as if even if a huge mountain was standing their way, they would crack it open. In the clear and beautiful Heavenly Pond, suddenly a fierce wind blew, which gave rise to many 100 meters high huge waves. The ice-cold lake water rapidly spread to the shore and submerged the earth under the feet of people, moreover, the water level rose at an unbelievable speed. First, the legs of people were submerged, then lower legs, knees, thighs¡­¡­, in a few breath of time, the lake water submerged up to the chest of the people. The white snake guarding behind Ye Chuan completely flipped out, and displaying its innate skill, it flooded Coiling Dragon Mountain. And this towering mountain that reached to the sky began to shake. ¡°Not good, White Dragon is angry, there is an imminent disaster!¡± ¡°Elder Tian Qing, we cannot bear much longer¡­¡­.¡± The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect in the formation who were advancing forcibly panicked quickly. The lake water rose by White Snake was not as simple as only submerging the chest of the people, but was also bone-piercingly ice-cold, making the hands and legs of the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect ice-cold, and even the spiritual power within their body suffered an inexplicable suppression. And what was even more frightening was, even after the water level reached their chest, the water level didn¡¯t stop increasing, the water level continued to rise as if there was a huge spring at the bottom of Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond which was directly connected with the sea, wanting to submerge the Coiling Dragon Mountain or even the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. Before they had attacked, originally overbearing Heavenly Yao Sect was already in a mess. The strength of their guardian beast truly was too outstanding! ¡°Kill, that great devil is doomed to die in the hand of my Heavenly Yao Sect, Tian Qing, Tian Ku, altogether, kill!¡± Heavenly Maiden shouted loudly, and the seven-colored halo behind her head rose, then stepping on the flying sword, she flew towards Ye Chuan, then thrust her sword straight towards the heart of Ye Chuan. When other people were hastily retreating, she however did exactly the opposite, the more dangerous it was, the more ferocious she became! Even without Heavenly Yao Great Formation, she wanted to kill Ye Chuan! ¡°Savage devil, kill!¡± Seeing the move of Heavenly Maiden, Elder Tian Qing and Kumu warrior Tian Ku also rushed forward regardless of danger, then jointly displayed their strongest attack. Heavenly Maiden had already taken the lead to rush forward, so now, among them three, one honored, then all honored, and one loses then all lose, already were in the helpless position. Either they join hand to kill Ye Chuan, or, let Ye Chuan trample their Heavenly Yao Sect under his foot! Chapter 147: White Haired Heavenly Empress Chapter 147: White Haired Heavenly Empress Roar! The white snake roared, and it suddenly soared to the sky, then its more than 1 kilometers long body coiled above the head of Ye Chuan, confronting the joint attack of the three great experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. This former days¡¯ guardian beast of Heavenly Yao Sect now was determined to protect Ye Chuan, this outsider! Heavenly Maiden, Elder Tian Qing and Kumu warrior Tian Ku stopped their advance, and their complexion changed simultaneously. On the ground, the water level was still continuing to rise, and all the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were fleeing all around. And after fleeing to a high place, they raised their head only to see a huge white snake in the sky, seeing this, the heart of each and everyone shivered and became terror-stricken. In the memory of the overwhelming majority of disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, this was the first time they had seen the appearance of their guardian beast White Dragon. And that more than 1 kilometers long huge body in the sky gave people incomparable shock. Kumu warrior Tian Ku¡¯s six or seven meters body was sufficiently big and tall, and he gave an oppressing feeling just like a small mountain.But, compared to this 1 kilometer long white snake, he was completely not a match or of the same grade. ¡°Kill, kill this White Dragon too!¡± Encountering stronger opponent, Heavenly Maiden¡¯s killing intent became stronger, and a spirit of looking down on this world emerged on her face, then grabbing her sword, the seven-colored halo behind her head expanded to its limit, and then she rushed towards Ye Chuan and white snake. ¡°Ai, Tian Ku, let¡¯s go together!¡± Tian Qing stopped his foot, and he wanted to stop Heavenly Maiden from dashing ahead regardless of her safety, but he was already too late, so he was forced to follow after her. Behind, Kumu warrior Tian Ku¡¯s body made ¡®kacha kacha¡¯ sound, then expanded to nearly 10 meters tall, and a huge wooden stick appeared on his hand, then stomping heavily, he also rushed after them. Although his movement appeared slow, but he crossed 100 meters in a single step. Now he was even faster than Elder Tian Qing. ¡°Well, well, three peak Daoist master realm experts! Little White, let the world see your true strength!¡± Ye Chuan still stood motionless, and like a leaf floating on the waves, he boldly faced the attack of three giants of Heavenly Yao Sect. The white snake traversing in the sky began to sway, and two glittering and translucent lumps appeared on its forehead, as if it really was about to transform into a dragon, and then suddenly an extremely powerful energy fluctuation erupted out from its body. This power level was indistinctly higher than the combined power of those three giants of Heavenly Yao Sect. After that, the water level below rose even faster. A strange and shocking scene appeared in Heavenly Yao Sect which was known as the unequaled sect. Looking from far, the waves on the summit of Coiling Dragon Mountain looked monstrous, and the flooding waters flowed down the Coiling Dragon Mountain from the summit. Now, spectacular waterfalls appeared all around the mountain peak. The momentum of these water falling down from the heaven seemed to want to submerge the entire sect and even submerge the 1000li of lands around Heavenly Yao Sect. The complexion of Heavenly Maiden became ice-cold and her killing intent soared. It seemed as if she didn¡¯t have the word compromise in her mind, she wanted either Ye Chuan was subdued or was killed, for this reason, she didn¡¯t hesitate to burn jade and stone together. Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t compromise, he vowed not to stop until his purpose was met, deciding to oppose the opponent with equal harshness! The entire Heavenly Yao Sect boiled over, causing a sensation. Many disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were unable to go to Coiling Dragon Mountain peak in time so they rushed to the neighborhood mountain peak in succession. Then looking at the decisive battle on the mountain peak of Coiling Dragon Mountain, the hands and legs of everyone became ice-cold as if faced with a formidable foe. This battle, even if it wasn¡¯t most dangerous battle within the current 100 years of Heavenly Yao Sect, but was most unexpected and most shocking battle. This battle shocked the nerve of every one of Heavenly Yao Sect. After this battle, even if Heavenly Yao Sect was victorious, perhaps they would have to pay a heavy price, and even three giants might fall. The decisive battle of confronting the tough with toughness all along resulted in both sides suffering! Elder Tian Qing didn¡¯t want to take this step, but the situation completely exceeded his imagination and control, moreover, since Heavenly Maiden had already rushed ahead, he was also forced to brace himself and rushed forward resigning himself to his fate. Kumu warrior Tian Ku also didn¡¯t want this, his task was only to come and inquire the situation, nothing more, but the situation involuntarily reached this state. A big showdown which was not expected by anyone suddenly arrived. Fatty Zhao Dazhi held Protector Yang Tian Kuang and fled to a huge rock, then looking at the fight to the finish of Ye Chuan and the three giants of Heavenly Yao Sect from far away, he was completely stupefied. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan was real knowledge was not showy, he already knew this point long ago, and he also knew that current Big Senior Apprentice-Brother already was no longer former days¡¯ Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, but, even in his dream, he had never imagined that Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother was unexpectedly this mighty! He was directly battling against three giants of Heavenly Yao Sect. Looking all over Cloud Mist Sect, he feared even Great Elder Zhu Guozhong and all others didn¡¯t have this kind of boldness and capability! Even until now, fatty Zaho Dazhi still felt confused, he didn¡¯t understand how did Ye Chuan has such big boldness and capabilities, and also didn¡¯t understand how he was able to make such terrifying white snake obedient to him, but fatty finally understand one thing, the previous actions of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother wasn¡¯t due to him being presumptuous, rather he was already prepared in advance. 17 li outside the entrance of Heavenly Yao Sect, on a very steep mountain peak, a hooded woman in cloak also appeared stunned. Under her, the ground was damp. Moreover, wherever she went, she left behind damp footprints. ¡°How could that be, that boy surnamed Ye, how can he suddenly become so powerful?¡± Standing in the dark, Sea Demon muttered to herself and her complexion became cloudy. In order to seize back Heavenly Dragon Rice seed, she had followed Dark Tree Monarch and other foreign loose cultivators all the way from overseas to this place. And after the death of Dark Tree Monarch, she switched her target to Ye Chuan. From underground Ghost Market, she arrived Cloud Mist Sect, then from Cloud Mist Sect, she followed all the way to Heavenly Yao Sect. But witnessing the valorous display of Ye Chuan in Heavenly Yao Sect, her heart couldn¡¯t help becoming heavier. The moon and many stars of the sky suddenly darkened. When the three giants of Heavenly Yao Sect and the white snake was about to fight to the death, the heaven and earth changed, and the sky suddenly darkened. Shortly afterwards, a white hair sprang out from the void, and as if silk thread, filled the entire sky. All the people whether they had high cultivation or low cultivation, all suffered a heavy innate suppression. The 1 kilometer long white snake also wasn¡¯t the exception. And at the same time, a faint voice came through from the void. ¡°When I become Sage, I want this land, not the wilderness!¡± ¡°When I became Sage, I want this heaven, not the darkness!¡± ¡°When I became Sage, I want this light, illuminating every inch of this land!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The voice coming from the void became more and more sonorous, and an incomparably powerful energy fluctuation rippled in the heaven and earth. This energy fluctuation made the white snake who possessed vast power tremble and whimper, then the water of the peak began to rapidly flow backward, flowing into Heavenly Pond. In the sky, more and more white hair appeared, and as if the spider web, it blotted out the sky and the sun. After the entire Heavenly Yao Sect was enveloped, this white hair suddenly burned, and the pitch-black sky suddenly became incomparably dazzling. In the midst of this dazzling light, a woman appeared out of the void, and the white hair all over the sky suddenly disappeared, retracting to the back of her head. ¡°Pay respect to Heavenly Empress!¡± ¡°Long live Heavenly Empress, long live, not extinguish for thousands of years, live forever throughout the time!¡± Within Heavenly Yao Sect, in all numerous mountain peaks, all the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect knelt down, even Heavenly Maiden, Elder Tian Qing and Kumu warrior Tian Ku, these three giants were also included. The current generation Heavenly Empress of Heavenly Yao Sect who was in seclusion for thousands of years without stepping out even a half-step outside the imperial palace ripped opened the void and appeared in front of the public! ¡°Great Supplication Technique, this generation Heavenly Empress cultivates Great Supplication Technique?¡± Ye Chuan looked up towards white-haired Heavenly Empress in the sky, and his pupils contracted. As the formerly ruler Great Sage who could conceal the heaven with his hand, compared to anyone else, he understood the power of Great Supplication Technique the best. This technique, in those years, he had snatched from the hands of peerless Yao Devil, then gave it to Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress as a gift. Unfortunately, because the talent and fate of Blue Eyed Yao Empress, she didn¡¯t make any progress in cultivating it, for this reason, she had always been depressed. But this white-haired Heavenly Empress, how high was her cultivation, nevertheless, she unexpectedly cultivated this Great Supplication Technique to great success? Could it be that her talent and fate was higher than the founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress? Ye Chuan who had always been calm and composed was shocked! Chapter 148: Return to the pinnacle Chapter 148: Return to the pinnacle The tidewater retreated, and Heavenly Maiden led the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect to heavily surround Ye Chuan. With the appearance of white-haired Heavenly Empress, all the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were relieved in their heart. Even though the white snake behind Ye Chuan was powerful, but it wasn¡¯t able to cause any stormy waves! Fatty Zhao Dazhi hugging Protector Yang Tian Kuang rolled and crawled to the side of Ye Chuan. And looking at the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect who harbored evil designees and also powerful white-haired Heavenly Empress floating in midair, he wasn¡¯t able to suppress his nervousness. His heartbeat got faster and faster as if his heart wanted to jump out. ¡°You¡­¡­, are you the person who caused havoc in my Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± The white-haired Heavenly Empress floating in midair, calmly and very naturally stood there. Her gaze scanned the sect below her, then with her gaze resting on Ye Chuan, she indifferently said, ¡°This generation¡¯s Sect Master of Cloud Mist Sect seemed to be called Yun Feiwu or something, what relation do you have with him? ¡°Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s 517th generation Big Disciple, Ye Chuan. Sect Master Yun Feiwu is my master.¡± Ye Chuan was calm. He was neither haughty nor humble facing Heavenly Empress. ¡°Yun Feiwu¡¯s personal disciple? No wonder¡­¡­¡± White-haired Heavenly Empress nodded her head and said: ¡°Many years ago, your master and I have met once. Logically speaking, since you come from so far, as a guest as well as you being the disciple of Yun Feiwu, our Heavenly Yao Sect would have warmly welcomed you. But, first, you killed my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciple, and then confused out Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s guardian spirit of Heavenly Pond, so even if I teach you a lesson, this mistress can explain the high and low of Cloud Mist Sect. Youngster, use all of your skills, let this mistress see, what else can you rely on!¡± White-haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s tone changed, then suddenly killing intent rose to the sky, wanting to personally attack Ye Chuan. This was the end fate for those who acted wildly in Heavenly Yao Sect, even if that person was the emperor himself, he would also die the cruelest death! Heavenly Maiden coldly smiled, then retreated far away with all other, making a wide vacant lot. With her master white-haired Heavenly Empress personally taking a hand in the work, even if Ye Chuan had the protection of the white snake, he was screwed. Even if he had three heads and six arms, it would be hard to avoid death! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, quickly make a formal apology to Heavenly Empress, and explain our purpose in coming, quick, Big Senior Apprentice-brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zaho Dazhi was anxious, then kneeling on the ground, he rambled, ¡°Righteous Heavenly Empress, we didn¡¯t cause havoc in Heavenly Yao Sect, in fact, Protector Hou Shan and his son Hou Yuan Chang bullied us very badly, we only defended ourselves, that¡¯s all. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you tell, quickly explain the truth and make a formal apology, quick¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi sweated profusely and was at a loss. At that moment, if they didn¡¯t explain the truth and strive for the understanding of Heavenly Empress, then the crime of causing havoc in Heavenly Yao Sect would fall onto them, and the consequences of that would be very serious. No need to mention about the three of them would meet their death, even their Cloud Mist Sect might be implicated. ¡°Fatty, get up, don¡¯t kneel down at every turn, men must have a backbone. The battle has not started yet, there is nothing fear!¡± Ye Chuan stretched his hand and pulled up stunned fatty Zhao Dazhi, then taking a deep breath, he faced white-haired Heavenly Empress in the sky squarely. His complexion was calm, but the robe on his body however was fluttering slowly even though there was no wind. Nothing to fear? Ye Chuan, he¡­¡­, did he truly wanted to fight Heavenly Empress? The on-looking disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect made a commotion, they had seen many wildly arrogant people, but it was the first time they had seen someone who was so wildly arrogant like Ye Chuan. With just Rank 2 Xiushi realm cultivation, he wanted to battle with Half-Sage realm white-haired Heavenly Empress who could transform into a venerate Sage at any time. This was not as simple as mantis trying to stop the carriage, was a brain dead madman! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-brother¡­¡­.¡± Fatty who was dripping with perspiration and teeth rattling, just like the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, felt that Ye Chuan was a madman. ¡°Little White, help me!¡± Ye Chuan ignored terrified and restless fatty and roared suddenly while insanely circulating three Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and also crushed a seal in his hand without anybody knowing. After that, above his head, energy vortex quickly appeared, drawing the worldly spiritual qi within the radius of 100 meters, then 1000 meters radius, 8000 meters radius¡­¡­, and the worldly spiritual qi around Coiling Dragon Heaven rapidly emptied. ¡°Not bad, really have some skill, but this is still far from being enough!¡± White-haired Heavenly Empress nodded her head, and her eyes gradually lit up. Roar! The white snake behind Ye Chuan moved, and its huge body swayed, but still didn¡¯t initiate the attack towards white-haired Heavenly Empress, rather used it innate skill. It suddenly soared high up in the air, then diving down straight, when it¡¯s head was about to hit the ground, it suddenly opened its mouth, and spared no effort to spat out its life-vitality at the forehead of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan suddenly trembled, then his energy fluctuation rose at an incredible speed. In a blink of an eye, his energy fluctuation surpassed Heavenly Maiden, Tian Qing and Kumu warrior Tian Ku, these giants of Heavenly Yao Sect, moreover, still continued to rise higher, reaching towards unfathomable white-haired Heavenly Empress. The three Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body also expanded to the extreme like never before, and with the radiance circulating on them, they seemed to have transformed into another form. Like this, each talisman contained far more than only 18,000 jin strength. ¡°Eh, what is this technique?¡± ¡°This brat, did he seize the strength of our guardian beast?¡± ¡­¡­ The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect screamed in succession. The energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan now made the scalp of other people tingle. And the white snake who was originally glaring others like a tiger eyeing its prey behind Ye Chuan, now, weakly collapsed on the ground. Its vitality was greatly damaged. ¡°Well, well, you are really capable! Come, if you want to put forward the demand, then first, show me if you have the qualification and capability or not!¡± Sensing the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan, white-haired Heavenly Empress still had a casual appearance, and with her fighting intent surging, she suddenly stretched her hand and palmed the empty air, then a huge palm appeared in the sky which pressed down towards Ye Chuan with a rumbling sound. On the ground, sands flew about and stones hurtled through the air. This huge palm had still not landed on the ground, but a huge handprint appeared on the ground, and even the five fingers and the lines of the palm were clearly visible. Giant Spirit Palm! White-haired Heavenly Empress made a casual move, but all people under Rank 7 Daoist Master realm were unable to stand steadily and had breathing difficulty. Even Heavenly Maiden, Tian Qing and Kumu warrior Tian Ku hastily retreated. And as for fatty Zhao Dazhi, he stamped his leg and hugging wounded Protector Yang Tian Kuang, he crawled and rolled to escape far away. Now countless gazes were fixed on Ye Chuan. ¡°Heavenly Empress only has such little capability?¡± Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Chuan suddenly looked up, and the energy fluctuation within his body rose up once again. Instantly, his gaze became deep, just like an infinite abyss which could annihilate everything and also where worlds were brig born and also extinguished repeatedly. The life-vitality and lifetime cultivation of white snake accompanied with the technique of Ye Chuan made his cultivation increase sharply for the time being. He had an indistinct feeling of returning to the pinnacle. And instantly, his overweening momentum of the ruler shocked the spirit of all Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. Even white-haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s heart was shocked and became unstable, and for an instant, she was absent-minded. And after waking up, a pallid light flashed in her eyes, then the huge palm in the sky became twice as big, and also quickened to press down. Chapter 149: Mountains and Rivers Restriction Chapter 149: Mountains and Rivers Restriction The horizon revealed a smear of grey dawn. The sky was quickly getting bright, and at dawn, Coiling Dragon Mountain which used to be very quiet in former days, today, there nevertheless was a sea of people on its summit. In this mountain peak jam-packed with people, beside Heavenly Pond, sands were flying about and stones were hurtling through the air. But Ye Chuan alone was also standing there. In the sky, a huge palm that blotted out the sky and the sun was pressing down with great momentum. And on the ground, the fierce wind whistled, and the ground sunken little by little, making the handprint clearer and clearer. Ye Chuan was standing in the middle of this handprint, being first to bear the brunt. But when the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were at tenterhooks, Ye Chuan however had his head held high and was coldly looking at approaching huge palm. ¡°Youngster, make your move now, otherwise you will not have any opportunity!¡± White-haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s cold voice resounded. And the huge palm that blotted out the sky and the sun pressed down even faster. ¡°Heavenly Empress, you forced me to do this.¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at Heavenly Empress in the sky, then waving his hand, he used an ancient technique. Soon after that, a rumbling sound that was just like the sudden clap of thunder resounded throughout the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°What is this sound?¡± ¡°Earthquake?¡± The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect standing at every peak cried out in alarm in unison. Instantly, regardless of the people on Coiling Dragon Mountain peak or the people at the distant place watching the battle, all of them saw the mountain peaks underneath their foot were flashing. In the air, white-haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s complexion also changed, and the hair ends of Heavenly Empress¡¯s very long white hair which had luster circulating on them slightly perked up. Heavenly Maiden who was familiar with her knew that now her Master was angry and was beginning to truly make a move with killing intent. On that frightening huge palm, suddenly runes appeared which multiplied its power, and also speed up pressing down towards Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan however was calm and composed, just continuing to use the technique. His speed wasn¡¯t fast, but every use of the technique seemed to nearly exhaust all his strength. The rumbling sounds coming from the depth of ground got louder and louder, which completely covered the sound of the huge spirit palm of Heavenly Empress pressing down towards the ground. Then those 972 mountain peaks within Heavenly Yao Sect swayed simultaneously. Kacha, kacha sounds came one after another, and the ground cracked open, creating a starling fissure. The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect standing on every mountain peaks to watch the battle scattered all around in panic, but very soon, they discovered that within such big sect, suddenly there was no foothold. The ground shook more and more violently, and more and more fissures appeared which became deeper and deeper. But when the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were trembling with terror, the shaking stopped, then, just when people sighed out of relief, a mountain peak suddenly rose, and as if a revived ancient giants, it held up its head high in the sky. One mountain, two mountains¡­¡­, suddenly mountains peak rose in succession. Each mountain peak was a fulcrum, and with the eruption of majestic power from all mountain peaks, an incomparable energy soared and enveloped the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. Moreover, in the middle of the sect, a scorching hot flame slowly rose. But looking at it carefully, that wasn¡¯t the flame, rather was a huge furnace wrapped in the flames. Mountains and Rivers Restriction! After obtaining the help of white snake to increase his strength sharply, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t directly confront Heavenly Empress, rather used an ancient technique which no one had seen before, activating the ultimate restriction of Heavenly Yao Sect. Heavenly Yao Sect had many mountain peaks, but no one had ever thought that, these grand, towering and very steep different shaped mountain peaks were the part of incomparably powerful restriction. This restriction was the restriction which when Heavenly Yao Sect had just been built, Ye Chuan had helped Blue Eyed Yao Empress to lay out. With mountain peaks as the foundation, and Heaven Burning Furnace as the nucleus of the formation, this restriction could even block the attacks of peak Sage realm expert. After millions of years, the mountain peaks still existed, but Blue Eyed Yao Empress had disappeared without a trace, so now, everywhere under the heaven, only Ye Chuan knew this restriction. After coming out from the transmission formation, when he had taken a first glance at Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan was somewhat absentminded. At that time, fatty Zhao Dazhi who was traveling together with Ye Chuan had thought that Ye Chuan was just shocked seeing the majestic momentum of Heavenly Yao Sect, little did he imagine, at that time, Ye Chuan was lost in thought thinking about the years when Heavenly Yao Sect had just been built. Now a rare scene appeared in the Heavenly Yao Sect who mightily dominated the Heavenly Fire Continent. The entire sect was shrouded with dim red radiance. Looking from afar, this radiance appeared as if a dim red iron pot placed upside down over the sect. Now inside and outside this radiance appeared to be two different worlds, and all the aura, energy and attack of the outside were completely isolated outside. The complexion of white-haired Heavenly Empress in the sky was already strained at an unknown time, and her spotlessly white jade-like long hair had perked up high. Then that huge palm paused, and suddenly speed up pressing down ruthlessly, but was collided head-on with dim red radiance. In the split second, the radiance flickered, then, that huge palm disappeared. This attack of white-haired Heavenly Empress as if a clay oxen entering the sea didn¡¯t even leave any trace, and the dim red radiance rapidly reverted back to the original state. ¡°Powerful, what power is this?¡± ¡°Restriction, definitely a restriction, but when, did our sect have this kind of restriction?¡± The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect raised their head to look and were shocked in their heart. Even they didn¡¯t know Heavenly Yao Sect had such restriction, but how could Ye Chuan, this outsider knew about it? ¡°Come again!¡± In the sky, white-haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s complexion changed again, then shouting loudly, her white hair fluttered and spread out throughout the sky just like spider web, then, they straightly scooped down, like a thickly dotted heavy rain and also liked crowded together arrows, wanting to pierce through the dim red radiance enveloping the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. Countless white hair instantly hit dim red radiance, but every mountain peaks of Heavenly Yao Sect shook, and the radiance rose suddenly and sharply. Then the white-haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s all-conquering white-hair suddenly burned. Return! White-haired Heavenly Empress spun hurriedly withdrawing her white hair, and then she retreated 1000 meters away. After that, from high above in the air, she looked down towards the sect and Ye Chuan standing on the ground, and her complexion became solemn like never before. After Giant Spirit Palm, she had attacked with all her might, but she unexpectedly came back empty-handed! Moreover, if her reaction was even a bit slower, then even she might have suffered the counterattack of Mountains and Rivers Restriction! In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Chuan was indeed incomparably presumptuous, but no-one had thought that he had come prepared. The white snake inside Heavenly Pond was merely one of his helpers, and this Mountains and Rivers Restriction that was capable of withstanding the attack of Sage was his real trump card! The cultivation of white-haired Heavenly Empress was amazing. With her Half-Sage realm cultivation, she could walk anywhere without any hindrance, moreover, she might breakthrough to Sage ream at any time, becoming the first Sage of Heavenly Fire Continent in a long time. But if she wanted to break the Mountains and Rivers Restriction laid by Ye Chuan in his former days, then her cultivation was still insufficient! ¡°Little White, go!¡± Ye Chuan reached out his hand and touched the head of the white snake, then weakly collapsed white snake slowly sunk into the water and disappeared without a trace. Then Ye Chuan again used a technique, and that terrifying dim red radiance in the sky gradually dissipated, the mountain peaks also reverted back to the original state, and the burning hot Heaven Burning Furnace wrapped in flames also sunk into the ground. Furthermore, the shocking energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan also dissipated. Since it was not his strength, he was unable to maintain it forever. ¡°Youngster, it is impossible for you to be the ordinary disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, who exactly are you?¡± White-haired Heavenly Empress solemnly looked at Ye Chuan and asked. ¡°Of course, I am not an ordinary disciple, I am Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple.¡± Ye Chuan answered, then with a smile yet not a smile, he indifferently said: ¡°What, Heavenly Empress, you want to go back on your words?¡± ¡°Zixia, led him to the Heavenly Yao Hall!¡± White-haired Heavenly Empress coldly snorted, then disappeared. ¡°Yes, master! Hey brat, let¡¯s go.¡± This aloof and refined Heavenly Maiden, Hong Zixia bowed accepting the order, then coldly looking at Ye Chuan, she flew towards grand Heavenly Yao hall. Behind, Elder Tain Qing and Kumu warrior Tian Ku looked at each other, then quickly followed after her. Chapter 150: Be careful, I will swallow you in one bite Chapter 150: Be careful, I will swallow you in one bite Heavenly Yao Sect, inside grand Heavenly Yao Hall, quickly the higher-ups of Heavenly Yao Sect gathered. Since Heavenly Empress was present in person, all elders and sect¡¯s experts didn¡¯t dare to be negligent, and hurriedly rushed over. But today, the focus was not Heavenly Empress, rather was Ye Chuan, this outsider. All the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect looked at Ye Chuan with a cold gaze filled with maliciousness, and also some surprise and misgivings. The scene of just a moment ago where Ye Chuan had activated Mountain and Rivers Restriction to oppose white-haired Heavenly Empress, everybody had seen it with their own eyes. So they couldn¡¯t help but look Ye Chuan, this disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, with new eyes. Even when everybody thought, they didn¡¯t understand from where such big guts and strength came from in this seemingly ordinary, only Rank 2 Xiushi realm Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciple. Confused the guardian beast of Heavenly Yao Sect, and activated the ancient restriction which no one knew, were these something ordinary disciples could accomplish? ¡°Youngster, speak, for what purpose you came from afar?¡± White-haired Heavenly Empress sat on the master position of Heavenly Yao Hall and directly came straight to the point. Ye Chuan was standing below, and on his either side, rows of experts of Heavenly Yao Sect were glaring at him as wolves and tigers, moreover, he was only 10 meters away from white-haired Heavenly Empress. So only at this time, he was able to clearly see the face of this generation Heavenly Empress. At a first glance, he saw Heavenly Empress¡¯s long white hair, the ends of this hair was lengthened to the ground, and she appeared to be already very old in age. But looking carefully, her hair was fine and smooth, her skin was glossy and snow-white, moreover, the skin had a layer of healthy gloss, which looked even better compared to the skin of young maidens. And compared to Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia standing behind her, she however didn¡¯t appear to be her master, rather they seemed as if they were sisters.Furthermore, her natural and at ease gaze was more elegant. ¡°Boy, what are you looking, still not speaking quickly!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia berated loudly. Sensing the gaze of Ye Chuan was repeatedly wandering about on her master and her body, Heavenly Maiden suddenly got angry. And glaring at Ye Chuan, she panted in rage as if she wanted to attack right away. Inside and outside the sect, no one had ever dared to be so rude. Aloof and detached Heavenly Maiden who always set herself above the masses was angry from the bottom of her heart. The more she looked at Ye Chuan, then more she felt he was not pleasing to the eye. On the contrary, white-haired Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t bat an eyelid and she even had a slight very indistinct smile. ¡°I am looking at you two, how come I am feeling as if you two aren¡¯t master and apprentice, on the contrary, you two are sisters? What¡¯s more, Heavenly Empress seemed a bit younger.¡± Ye Chuan made a remark upon a person¡¯s appearance, and the more Heavenly Maiden got angry, the more he looked at them two. He openly observed at them, moreover, consciously or unconsciously, he looked at those towering breasts of Heavenly Maiden, then shook his head as if he felt sorry for her for not being sufficiently big and said, ¡°Grown men need more exercise, but women need quiet rest, if you always get angry, then it will not be very good for your skin. Like that, after few years, your skin will wrinkle and have age spots. At that time, if you stand together with Heavenly Empress, then it would not resemble like you two are sisters, but resemble mother and daughter.¡± ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was furious to the extreme, but she could only grit her teeth. If her Master Heavenly Empress wasn¡¯t present here, then she would have already flipped out and attacked him. ¡°Haha, hahahaha, it¡¯s been a long time since someone dared to speak like that in front of this mistress.¡± Heavenly Maiden was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, but heavenly Empress nevertheless laughed heartily,then sizing Ye Chuan up and down, she said, ¡°Speak, youngster, what exactly is your request? As long as it¡¯s not too excessive, this mistress will agree.¡± After the competition, Heavenly Empress was very refreshed, and she came straight to the point. Sure enough, it¡¯s easier to speak with Yama, but the little devils are unreasonable and hard to deal. Directly looking for Heavenly Empress was the right decision. Otherwise, if he had entangled with that mere Protector Hou Shan, then even he didn¡¯t know how much time he would have wasted. The gaze of all the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect simultaneously rested on Ye Chuan. The face of Heavenly Empress was beautiful, unfortunately, even Elder Tian Qing whose cultivation was powerful as well as held the power of the sect didn¡¯t dare to look face to face at Heavenly Empress, say nothing about everyone else. In the last thousands of years, only Ye Chuan was fearless enough to openly look around and say they looked like beautiful sisters. ¡°My request is very simple, I came to look for Heavenly Empress to discuss a matter.That is¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan paused, then looking at Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he smiled evilly. All of a sudden, still panting with rage Heavenly Maiden felt chill in her heart. Smelly brat, what kind of dirty plan are you cooking? Could it be¡­¡­ Seeing the evil smile of Ye Chuan, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was frightened. In Heavenly Yao Sect, she set herself high above the masses. She didn¡¯t even attach importance to Elder Tian Qing, but if her Master Heavenly Empress commanded her to go with Ye Chuan, then she wouldn¡¯t have any choice. It had already been a long time since Heavenly Yao Sect and Cloud Mist Sect had made a contact, but the ancient treaty of alliance still existed, and two of them were still sworn friends. In her memory, she vaguely recalled that very long time ago, Heavenly Yao Sect and Cloud Mist Sect had the tradition of marriage. Many Heavenly Maiden, before becoming Heavenly Empress, all get married to Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple and stay there for a period of time, cultivating in a pair. This tradition had not continued for a long time, but neither Heavenly Yao Sect nor Cloud Mist Sect had abolished this law, so both sides could still form an alliance by marriage. Now, Ye Chuan was Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s this generation Big Disciple, and she was Heavenly Maiden, could it be that this brat wanted to propose a marriage alliance? The complexion of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia became incomparably pale, and the evil smile of Ye Chuan scared her greatly. Heavenly Maiden who just a moment ago was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, now, if she had to marry him, then she truly will vomit the blood! The complexion of Elder Tian Qing and other elders as well as older experts of Heavenly Yao Sect also became bad, and quickly sank. Clearly, just like Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, they also recalled the ancient tradition of Heavenly Yao Sect and Cloud Mist Sect. Unlike the worry of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, they were unhappy not because their Heavenly Maiden would marry Ye Chuan, rather were unhappy because they would form an alliance by marriage with Cloud Mist sect. Current Heavenly Yao Sect was not Heavenly Yao Sect of long ago, and current Cloud Mist Sect was even more not the Cloud Mist sect of former years. Now, if they form an alliance by marriage with Cloud Mist Sect, then not only they wouldn¡¯t obtain any help and support, on the contrary, Cloud Mist Sect would implicate them, moreover, all the sect under the heaven would mock them. Heavenly Empress became silent, seemingly had also recalled ancient tradition. And surprisingly, she neither agreed, nor refused flatly. She just looked at Ye Chuan thoughtfully, but no one knew what she was thinking. ¡°Boy, I advise you that it would be for the best to give up your inordinate ambition as early as possible, otherwise, I will kill you personally. Don¡¯t indulge in the wildest fantasy of a lazy toad wanting to eat a swan¡¯s meat!¡± Seeing her master Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t speak for a long time, seemingly she was about to agree with the request of Ye Chuan, Heavenly Maiden was anxious, and she impatiently berated in a stern voice. ¡°Kill me? Do you have that capability?¡± Ye Chuan indifferently replied chocking off Heavenly Maiden who was full of killing intent. Although current Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation appeared to be not up to much, but she still vividly remembered the scene of him activating the restriction and battling Heavenly Empress. And since even her Master was helpless, how could she kill him? ¡°I have a shortcoming, the more I cannot obtain, the more I seek. The inordinate ambition in your view is very normal in my view. Who said a toad cannot eat the swan¡¯s meat? As long as, it thought of a way, not only can it eat, it can even swallow in a bite.¡± Ye Chuan talked big with a smile yet not a smile on his face. This made the heart of Heavenly Maiden who was standing behind Heavenly Empress even more restless. Chapter 151: I still like my junior apprentice-sister a bit more Chapter 151: I still like my junior apprentice-sister a bit more After a good while, Heavenly Empress finally declared where she stood, but she didn¡¯t look towards Ye Chuan, rather looked at Elder Tian Qing standing below and said, ¡°Tian Qing, what do you think?¡± ¡°Heavenly Empress, this¡­¡­¡± Elder Tian Qing who held power in his hands to decide numerous affairs daily stammered. Although Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t agree directly, but it was obvious that she had tacitly agreed to the marriage of Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden to form an alliance. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have asked him. Still, since she had already agreed, why was Heavenly Empress still taking the trouble to ask him? Did she want¡­¡­ Elder Tian Qing pondered and understood the meaning of Heavenly Empress, then he said, ¡°We should continue the alliance by marriage with Cloud Mist Sect. Heavenly Maiden marrying to Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple conforms the tradition of our Heavenly Yao Sect. But, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia is beautiful and attractive, and her talent is also top notch which appears only once in a millennium, so if they want to marry our Heavenly Empress, then Cloud Mist Sect also should show some sincerity. But, in my view, the current circumstance of Cloud Mist Sect is not very good, so I fear it would be somewhat difficult for them to put out a large number of betrothal gifts. Therefore, how about noble son Ye return our guardian beast White Dragon of Heavenly Pond, and also hand over the technique to activate that restriction of just a moment ago?¡± The older the ginger the spicier, Elder Tian Qing quickly understood the intention of Heavenly Empress. Some words were not good for Heavenly Empress to say directly, but he could speak bluntly. Guardian beast was fine, but that Mountains and Rivers Restriction Ye Chuan had activated just a moment ago was truly too shocking. It was an incomparably ancient restriction, so much so that no-one within the sect knew about its existence, truly was inconceivable. Using a Heavenly Maiden to exchange such ancient restriction which can withstand Sage realm expert¡¯s attack, it was worth it! Elder Tian Qing quickly made the decision, and Heavenly Empress who was sitting above also nodded her head slightly, clearly had the same kind of intention. ¡°No, Master, I¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was anxious, what she really afraid would happen had happened, but before she finished speaking, she saw the complexion of Heavenly Empress becoming colder, so she hastily shut up and didn¡¯t dare to speak again. As the only disciple of white-haired Heavenly Empress, she knew the consequences of enraging her master. In front of other people, she did as she pleased, but in front of Heavenly Empress, she didn¡¯t dare to be unbridled. ¡°Youngster, what do you think?¡± Heavenly Empress looked towards Ye Chuan. ¡°Not up to much or to say, very bad.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head in all seriousness. All the people within Heavenly Yao Hall had their eyes wide open looking at Ye Chuan. The requirement of Elder Tian Qing was not excessive at all, as long as he nodded his head, he could hold a beauty and return, but he unexpectedly refused? Anxious Heavenly Maiden who didn¡¯t know how she could resist this marriage was dumbstruck looking straight at Ye Chuan. ¡°Youngster, are you reluctant to part with that white snake, or to say that you want to be the only one that grasps that ancient restriction?¡± Heavenly Empress coldly looked at Ye Chuan and her complexion became somewhat bad. Strictly calculating, this inter-sect marriage was still somewhat unfavorable to Heavenly Yao Sect, but no-one had thought that Ye Chuan would actually disagree this alliance by marriage. ¡°No, no, Heavenly Empress, you are misunderstanding. That white snake is your Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s guardian beast, naturally should be returned to you. I don¡¯t have any plan to take it away. As for the activation technique of Mountains and Rivers Restriction, passing it to you all is also fine, after all, this restriction is your Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s restriction, I will not take it.¡± Ye Chuan looked at white-haired Heavenly Empress, and sincerely said: ¡°My request is actually quite simple, I only want to look for Heavenly Empress to borrow a thing that¡¯s all, I didn¡¯t come to propose a marriage alliance. The looks of this girl Zixia is pretty good and she also has developed very nicely, but, she is not the type of girl I like, I still like my little junior apprentice-sister a bit more.¡± Inside the hall, suddenly a commotion rose. People began to talk in whispers looking at Ye Chuan and also looked at Heavenly Maiden who always considered everyone beneath her notice. Heavenly Empress was surprised, and the complexion of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was standing behind her become red through and through, and she was so angry that her entire body trembled. This kid, did he actually say that she was not the type of girl he liked, moreover was inferior to his little junior apprentice-sister? Heavenly Maiden was embarrassed and also angry, she had thought that Ye Chuan had taken a fancy of her, and wanted to eat swan¡¯s meat being a lazy toad, but who would have thought that this brat would unexpectedly speak out such thing! He clearly didn¡¯t come here to purpose a marriage alliance, but he intentionally let everyone misunderstood, persistently assuming innocent and sincere appearance. He was deliberate, deliberately making a fool of her! Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was so angry in her heart that if she could, she would have already killed Ye Chuan over and over again. Now she was too embarrassed to face anyone. ¡°Okay, what do you want to borrow? Speak.¡± Heavenly Empress quickly responded. ¡°Heaven Burning Furnace.¡± Ye Chuan replied. After so many twists and turns, he finally spoke out the purpose of this trip. What? Elder Tian Qing, Tian Ku as well as other people were greatly surprised, and said in unison, ¡°Impossible!¡± ¡°No, absolutely not! Heavenly Empress, Heaven Burning Furnace is our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s defining treasure, ever since the ancient times, it suppresses the fate of our Heavenly Yao Sect. we must not lend it to others!¡± Elder Tian Qing quickly stood out and sternly refused, then said clearly, ¡°For millions of years, Cloud Mist Sect has deteriorated steadily, many contemporary powerful sects had also declined, and some had even disappeared in the long river of time, but our Heavenly Yao Sect is flourishing, and nowadays we are aspiring to be unequaled sect in the continent, why? Because of the great efforts of our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s successive generations¡¯ disciples, and even more because of the existence of Heaven Burning Furnace, which suppress our fate. If we let other people borrow this peerless treasure, then our ill fate will no longer be suppressed, and we will have to face the imminent disaster!¡± Elder Tian Qing who held power in his hand became the first person to stand out to refuse, and there was no room to compromise. It was fine if Ye Chuan wanted to marry Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, but if he want to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace which suppressed sect¡¯s fate, then that absolutely wasn¡¯t possible! ¡°Yes, Heavenly Empress, we absolutely cannot lend!¡± ¡°Just opened his mouth but he is already asking Heaven Burning Furnace, the brat is here to create trouble, let¡¯s drive him out!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­. Numerous experts of Heavenly Yao Sect simultaneously opposed, all of them rejected this proposal in unison. ¡°Youngster, you have also seen, it¡¯s not like this mistress also doesn¡¯t want to lend you, rather all the people of the sect are disagreeing, so this mistress could do nothing.¡± White-haired Heavenly Empress looked at Ye Chuan, and with Elder Tian Qing and others as the pretext, she slowly said, ¡°How about this, considering the face of your Master Yun Feiwu, as well as, considering you have come from so far, this mistress will give you some flying swords, pills and crystal stones, moreover, make Tian Qing to personally escort you back, isn¡¯t this fine?¡± ¡°Not fine, I only want Heaven Burning Furnace.¡± Ye Chuan refused. ¡°What if I refuse?¡± Heavenly Empress looked at Ye Chuan and her complexion sunk. ¡°Your Highness Heavenly Empress, I fear you cannot!¡± Ye Chuan coldly smiled, then looking at numerous experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, he coldly said, ¡°This treasure Heaven Burning Furnace, politely speaking, I came to borrow; bluntly speaking, I came to take it, merely you can think as you please. But if you don¡¯t want to lend, then don¡¯t blame me for being impolite.¡± ¡°Are you threatening me?¡± Heavenly Empress was angry. Her face was covered with a layer of frost, and her hair ends of white hair also stood up. ¡°You can think so, Your Excellency Heavenly Empress, think carefully, if I truly want to take it away, can you all stop me?¡± Ye Chuan talked big. Hearing this, the complexion of all the people within Heavenly Yao Sect changed, they also unsheathed their sword and the air was filled with killing intent, but recalling Ye Chuan could activate Mountains and Rivers Restriction, as well as recalling the scene of Heaven Burning Furnace wrapped in flames slowly rising from the depth of ground, their heart shook. The more presumptuously Ye Chuan talked big, the more it appeared that he had a well-thought-out plan. With the might of that Mountains and Rivers Restriction he had activated just a moment ago, he truly seemed to have the capability to take away Heaven Burning Furnace! Chapter 152: Heaven Burning Furnace Chapter 152: Heaven Burning Furnace The nosy Heavenly Yao Hall suddenly become quiet. Recalling that scene of Ye Chuan activating Mountains and Rivers Restriction and contending against Heavenly Empress, the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect who had already drawn out their sword with killing intent, all of a sudden didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. White-haired Heavenly Empress sitting above in the hall also coldly looked at Ye Chuan, and her complexion sunk. Since she set foot on the throne of Heavenly Empress, this was the first time someone dared to defy and contradict her in Heavenly Yao Hall. If instead of Ye Chuan, it was the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect or even the elder of Daoist Master realm, then they would have surely died! But Ye Chuan standing below was particularly thorny. Cloud Mist Sect was in decline, but the treaty of alliance between Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect still exist, so if Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect was killed, even if Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t dare to come to ask for justice, this would give other sects a chance to gossip. This was the first reason, but even more importantly, even if they risk everything to kill him, they might not be able to kill him. Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation was nothing, was trivial Rank 2 Xiushi, simply was not worth mentioning in Heavenly Yao Sect which was filled with experts. But he was able to command Heavenly Pond¡¯s guardian beast White Dragon, and also could activate very powerful Mountains and Rivers Restriction, so even Heavenly Empress could do nothing to him! Now, what should they do? Should they just be helpless like this or attack suddenly to kill Ye Chuan before he could activate the Mountains and Rivers Restriction? Elder Tian Qing was short of breath, and Kumu warrior Tian Ku on another side was also ready to make the move, but without the command of Heavenly Empress, no one dared to make a move. Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t speak, just remained silent all the way. Inside Heavenly Yao hall, the atmosphere became heavier and heavier, and the storm clouds approached. As long as Heavenly Empress commanded or even gave a single signal, numerous experts of Heavenly Yao Sect would rush over and tear Ye Chuan to shreds while he was still alive. Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t speak, calmly waited patiently. On the surface, he had a calm and composed appearance, but inwardly he was all the very tense, and with cold sweat, all of his underwear was already drenched. In the battle beside Coiling Dragon Heavenly Pond, he amazed the world with a single brilliant feat, shocking the entire Heavenly Yao Sect, and even this generation Heavenly Empress had no choice but to have three-tenth of misgivings towards him. But, what was unknown to everyone was, after Mountains and Rivers Restriction blocked two attacks of Heavenly Empress, he had already used up his strength, and with white snake also in weakened state, even if he wanted to activate Mountains and Rivers Restriction in short time, it was impossible, so now he was outwardly strong but inwardly weak. This was a gamble, gambling Elder Tian Qing and others as well as Heavenly Empress wouldn¡¯t dare to struggle until the fish died or the net got torn! Ye Chuan kept his calm, and didn¡¯t reveal even a bit of flaw. He clearly didn¡¯t have any strength to battle again, still, he assumed the air of having a well-thought-out plan. Luckily, he gambled right, thinking thrice, Heavenly Yao Sect didn¡¯t dare to act recklessly. ¡°Youngster, Heaven Burning Furnace is our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s defining treasure, according to principle, it is impossible to lend it, but¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Empress spoke taking the initiative to break the silence. ¡°Heavenly Empress¡­¡­¡± Elder Tian Qing cried out in alarm wanting to stop, but Heavenly Empress waved her hand. She clearly had already made the decision. ¡°Heavenly Empress, do you want the technique to activate that ancient restriction?¡± Ye Chuan asked understanding the thoughts of Heavenly Empress. Using Heaven Burning Furnace to exchange the technique to activate Mountains and Rivers Restriction, this exchange was not too much of a deficit for Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°That¡¯s right, what, youngster, are you unwilling?¡± Heavenly Empress looked at Ye Chuan. ¡°No, no problem, it¡¯s just a trivial technique, to begin with, this Mountains and Rivers Restriction belong to your Heavenly Yao Sect.¡± Ye Chuan naturally said at ease, then with a flick of his finger, a jade bamboo slip floated in front of Heavenly Empress. The eyes of Heavenly Empress suddenly shone, then scanning with her divine sense, the jade slip in front of her changed into a speck of dust, but the technique recorded in the slip was imprinted in her mind. After that, she closed her eyes for a while, the nodding her head, she slowly opened her eyes and said, ¡°Good, good, what a Mountains and Rivers Restriction. I really have never expected that my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder had unexpectedly left behind this kind of technique! Ye Chuan, was it? How did you learn the existence of this restriction?¡± In an instant, Heavenly Empress comprehend the technique to activate Mountains and Rivers Restriction. After she had cultivated to this realm, only a hint was all that was needed for her to comprehend all kinds of techniques, and the speed of cultivating the techniques was also far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. ¡°If I say I read in a book, then Heavenly Empress, do you believe?¡± Ye Chuan smiled. ¡°Believe!¡± Heavenly Empress nodded her head, and didn¡¯t try to get to the bottom of this matter. She didn¡¯t give priority to how Ye Chuan know it, rather she was happy that this technique returned to Heavenly Yao Sect again, giving her sect another trump card! ¡°Heavenly Empress, now, can I take-away Heaven Burning Furnace?¡± Ye Chuan used the technique wanting to take away Heaven Burning Furnace and leave. ¡°Slow down!¡± Heavenly Empress suddenly called out. The complexion of Ye Chuan changed slightly, then coldly looking at white-haired Heavenly Empress, he said, ¡°What, Heavenly Empress, do you want to go back on your word?¡± After reaching the status and realm of Heavenly Empress, regardless of anything, she should be a figure with a decisive word. Ye Chuan had never considered that she would go back on her word, this was slightly unexpected. But, if Heavenly Empress really wanted to go back on her word, then it¡¯s not like he was also powerless. The activating technique of Mountains and Rivers Restriction, he had truly passed to Heavenly Empress, moreover, he concealed nothing and did everything naturally and openly. However, he also had a move in his hand, the technique to destroy Mountains and Rivers Restriction. This technique was completely different from the technique to activate Mountains and Rivers Restriction, in those years, he didn¡¯t even pass it to Blue Eyed Yao Empress. Mountains and Rivers Restriction was the gift he gave to Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress when Heavenly Yao Sect was just built. And all under the heaven, only he alone could destroy this ancient restriction. If white-haired Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t keep her word and backed out, then don¡¯t blame him for falling out with them and destroy this ultimate sect protecting restriction of Heavenly Yao Sect, destroying the foundation of Heavenly Yao Sect. Like this, this sect which was aspiring to the throne of the unequaled sect in the continent would suffer a drastic decline. ¡°Why, can¡¯t this mistress go back on her words?¡± The complexion of Heavenly Empress became gloomy and cold, as she was becoming hostile. Heavenly Maiden who was standing behind Heavenly Empress was delighted, and she immediately pulled out her flying sword, preparing to make a move. As long as Heavenly Empress ordered, she would use an all-out attack to pierce the heart of Ye Chuan. And below, the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect standing on two sides as if they had a tactic understanding, surrounded Ye Chuan. Each and every one was full of killing intent, and now let alone a living person, even a fly couldn¡¯t fly out alive. If the winds of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Ye Chuan was killed in Heavenly Yao Hall was spread outside, then others would hold them in contempt, but as long as Heavenly Empress gave the order, the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect wouldn¡¯t defy her orders. ¡°Is that so? Then you can try me, I can activate your Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s ultimate restriction, so naturally, I can also destroy that restriction, completely destroying the foundation of your Heavenly Yao Sect.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently answered. Even facing the pressure of so many experts of Heavenly Yao Sect as well as Heavenly Empress, he didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid. The heart of numerous experts of Heavenly Yao Sect shook. Fist, no need to mention whether Ye Chuan had such ability or not, solely in imposing manner, who could match with him? ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, good, good, what a sect¡¯s Big Disciple! Truly unexpected, seriously declined Cloud Mist Sect actually has this kind of talent! Youngster, don¡¯t take offense, the matter this mistress promised, how could I back out, I was merely joking with you, nothing more.¡± Looking at Ye Chuan, Heavenly Empress suddenly laughed heartily and then looking Ye Chuan up and down, she lowered her voice, ¡°But, Heaven Burning Furnace is the peerless treasure that is suppressing our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s fate, and it¡¯s not a small matter. Moreover, even though this mistress lend it to you, but it depends on whether you have to capability to take it away or not. How about this, you and my disciple Hong Zixia compete to see who can stay longer inside Heaven Burning Furnace, if you win, then feel free to take it away!¡± Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t go out of her words, but gave Ye Chuan a difficult problem. Hearing Heavenly Empress, the eyes of all the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect inside Heavenly Yao Hall shone. This move of Heavenly Empress would definitely force Ye Chuan to retreat. Although both of them were disciples of the younger generation, but what was the cultivation realm of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, and what was the cultivating realm of Ye Chuan. Just the difference in cultivation realm clearly showed who would be the victor. Elder Tian Qing who attended to numerous affairs every day was cunning and crafty, and was known as the old fox of Heavenly Yao Sect, but compared to Heavenly Empress, he was still inexperienced. White haired-Heavenly Empress who had just come out from the seclusion of thousand years, as if producing clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another, instantly thought of a surefire plan. Chapter 153: Girl, don’t go Chapter 153: Girl, don¡¯t go After Heavenly Empress spoke, she used a technique, then with a muffled rumbling sound came from deep underground, which was accompanied by boiling hot heat wave. And then, under the attentive gaze of people, the ground suddenly shook, and Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s defining treasure Heaven Burning Furnace that was wrapped in flames bore out from the ground. The temperature of Heavenly Yao Hall rapidly increased. And the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect retreated in succession, and those whose movement was a bit slower, smoke rose from their clothing and their face was streaming with sweat. This was an ancient alchemy furnace, it appeared not that big compared to frequently seen common alchemy furnace but appeared a bit smaller, nevertheless, it had a completely different world inside it. Legend said that even an entire mountain could be placed into it without any problem. This furnace was engraved with lines of different thickness and different depths. In some places, lines formed three-dimensional patterns, and in other places, they form ancient runes which no one could understand. Furthermore, there were scorching hot flames inside and outside the furnace, and it was hard to determine whether the flames were being swallowed or spat out. When suddenly erupting, flames would directly dart towards the roof seemingly there was a wind inside the furnace, and again like this alchemy furnace itself possessed the independent life, the flames were pulsating like a heartbeat. Everybody looked at this peerless treasure with their eyes wide open, and those scorching hot flames shocked them so much that they retreated again. Ye Chuan also watched this Heaven Burning Furnace that bore out of the ground, but he wasn¡¯t shocked like the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, rather was somewhat sad. Once upon a time, this Heaven Burning Furnace was his treasure that he was so fond of that he couldn¡¯t let go of it. He refined one batch after another batch of pills with this furnace. Moreover, with this furnace, he swept every corner of this Wilderness World, and ran wild in every ominous domain. Later, he gave this alchemy furnace to Blue Eyed Yao Empress when she established Heavenly Yao Sect to help her suppress the sect¡¯s fate. When Heavenly Yao Sect was just built, he would frequently come to pay the visit and often played with this alchemy furnace, but later, his visit to this sect became less. Now, millions of years later, he broke out of God Burial Valley, and Heaven Burning Furnace still existed. It appeared exactly the same as those years, but all the people who worked together to refine pills were gone. ¡°Boy, are you scared?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia walked down from the high platform, then coldly looking at Ye Chuan, she said with freezing irony and burning satire, ¡°It¡¯s normal to be scared, if anyone that has yet to breakthrough to Daoist Master realm enters it, they would change into ashes, hahaha!¡± ¡°Yes, I am a little scared, Zixia girl, if you are not afraid then enter first, I will come soon afterward.¡± Ye Chuan replied, coking off Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Even though her cultivation was high, who would dare to rashly jump into it? Ye Chuan paused, then looking towards Heavenly Empress sitting on the high platform, he said, ¡°Heavenly Empress, from childhood, I fear fire, and also fear water, although Cloud Mist Sect is famous for alchemy, but I am very ashamed to say that I have practically never before successfully refine a batch of pill by myself. Can¡¯t we change the way of competition?¡± ¡°No, I will count to three, and both of you will simultaneously jump into Heaven Burning Furnace to see who will stay longer, otherwise, it will be regarded as forfeiting.¡± Heavenly Empress flatly refused, and seeing Ye Chuan had a sincere expression, she slightly frowned and looked pensive. Just now, seeing the expression of Ye Chuan when he saw Heaven Burning Furnace for the first time, a doubt appeared in her heart. That slight sadness as well as great changes that flashed past in his eyes, although the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect were unable to perceive, but how could that expression escape her, the Heavenly Empress¡¯s eyes. Only the pinnacle level experts would have such looks, but how did such expression appear on this youngster who had not even seen the world? Heavenly Empress began to doubt the true identity of Ye Chuan, but seeing current Ye Chuan¡¯s sincere appearance, he again didn¡¯t resemble. ¡°Fine, Heavenly Empress, then I have to risk my life to go ahead regardless. Zixia girl, I will be waiting for you inside, hurry up.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then looking at Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia with a smile yet not a smile, before Heavenly Empress count even one, he jumped into Heaven Burning Furnace. ¡°This fellow, he truly jumped in?¡± ¡°With the cultivation of merely Rank 2 Xiushi, isn¡¯t this courting death? Did he change into a roasted meat?¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The experts of Heavenly Yao Sect made a commotion, and they stared at Heaven Burning Furnace wrapped in flames without even blinking their eyes. Beyond the expectation of everyone, Ye Chuan who was imploring for a moment decisively jump into Heaven Burning Furnace in another moment. The temperature inside Heaven Burning Furnace was definitely frightening, even if an expert of Daoist Master realm jump into it, all of them would struggle, therefore if a cultivator in early Xiushi realm jump into it, then they would definitely bode ill rather than well, but at least they would jump about few times. All people coincidentally stared at Heaven Burning Furnace, but very quickly, they were disappointed, the situation they had expected didn¡¯t happen. There was no aura of Ye Chuan after he jumped into Heaven Burning Furnace, and Heaven Burning Furnace was also absolutely still, seemingly Ye Chuan, this big living person had disappeared like an air as if a clay oxen entering the sea. It appeared as if he was instantly changed into the air by that high temperature. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Empress who was sitting above the hall stood up in surprise, and her white hair rose. ¡°I will go and see if that kid is dead or not!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia flew and gritting her teeth, she also jumped into Heaven Burning Furnace. And with her body flashing with cyan color light, the spiritual power within her body changed into dark cyan colored armor, protecting her body. Heaven Burning Furnace with flames soaring suddenly shook. Even though she was prepared, after jumping in, Heavenly Maiden Zixia felt the sea of flames shrouding her, her body felt as if she was about to burn, and tingling pain came from all over her body. Under severe pain, she involuntarily collided with the furnace wall, then she opened her eyes with great difficulty, only to see there was flame everywhere. Only in the sky, she could indistinctly see an exit. Inside of Heaven Burning Furnace was truly completely different world. ¡°ZIxia girl, you really came?¡± A familiar voice came, and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia looked over only to see Ye Chuan was sitting cross-legged not far from her, and he was grinning with an evil smile. She, a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert was feeling indescribably painful, but he appeared to be completely fine. ¡°You¡­.., didn¡¯t you die?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was greatly surprised, then gritting her teeth, she circulated the spiritual power within her body sparing no effort, and sat down cross-legged. She didn¡¯t believe that she was inferior to Ye Chuan. ¡°If you want to die even with so high cultivation, then I can do nothing about it.¡± Ye Chuan looked Heavenly Maiden¡¯s curvy figure up and down with a bad smile causing the latter to suddenly have goosebumps. ¡°Humph, sure enough, good people don¡¯t live long, but bad people destroys for the millennium!¡± Heavenly Maiden snorted, but her complexion slowly became pale, and to maintain the cyan armor outside her body, the consumption of her energy increased. If this went on like this, she certainly wouldn¡¯t be able to maintain for long. ¡°A lot of people said that, ai, it¡¯s not hard to become the bad person for a day, but to be a bad person for a lifetime, that is not easy.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and looked at Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, in the midst of the sea of flames inside Heaven Burning Furnace, not only was he not struggling strenuously, on the contrary, he had the look of enjoyment. This Heaven Burning Furnace was the gift he had sent to Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress. It was once his killing weapon, therefore, with regarding all the mystery of this treasure, he naturally was more familiar than anyone else, and he also possessed his own method to deal with the flames. He could even use this flames to temper and refine his body, strengthening his blood vessels and physique. The mysteries, no need to mention this panting with rage Heavenly Maiden, even Half-Sage realm Heavenly Empress comprehend nothing. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t reply, as she didn¡¯t have surplus energy to bicker with him, and she did her utmost to contend with more and more scorching hot flames, and the cyan colored armor became dimmer and dimmer. It hadn¡¯t been a long time since she came in, but she was already about to be unable to maintain it. ¡°Zixia girl, in fact, your look is truly pretty good, if I didn¡¯t already have junior apprentice-sister, furthermore that young lady of Black Cauldron Sect, and Honghong of Five Style Sect, perhaps I truly would have liked you.¡± Heavenly Maiden wanted to concentrate her spiritual power to contend against the flames, but Ye Chuan persistently didn¡¯t allow her. He openly stared at Heavenly Maiden¡¯s beautiful face, towering chest, pert buttocks and so on places. Granted that he looked, but what was even more wicked was, he made frivolous remarks about her looks while looking, ¡°You see, you face is exquisite, but, your eyelashes are a bit shorter, still you can wear long false eyelashes, then you will look even better. Your skin, tsktsk, truly is smooth, I wonder how they feel. Eh, how come you have such a long underbelly, no, a woman stomach should be a bit smoother. Zixia girl, don¡¯t get angry, if you sulk for a long time, your stomach will bulge. Eh, what happened, how come you are trembling? Even if you start liking me, you don¡¯t need to be so excited, don¡¯t be like this, I am not a casual man¡­¡­¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡­, you brat, I will kill you!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia couldn¡¯t endure any longer, so much that she couldn¡¯t help but thoroughly went out of control, then palmed towards Ye Chuan wanting to swat Ye Chuan to death. This palm had alarming power, unfortunately, before the palm swatted Ye Chuan, the flames inside Heaven Burning Furnace rose suddenly and sharply, and the cyan colored armor around the body of Heavenly Maiden vanished like smoke and dispersed like clouds. After that, her clothing, underwear as well as her robe instantly changed into ashes, revealing her completely naked body. That posture and those curves, seeing them, no man wouldn¡¯t drool. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden screamed, and didn¡¯t manage to kill Ye Chuan. Now, she covered her chest with one hand and covered her private part with the remaining hand, then she immediately jumped out of Heaven Burning Furnace, because, no need to talk about giving a glimpse of her body, she was instantly about to get burnt to ashes. ¡°This figure, it¡¯s truly pretty good!¡± Seeing Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s back view, Ye Chuan smiled evilly, then following closely behind her, he also jumped out, shouting, ¡°Don¡¯t fear, Zixia girl, don¡¯t go, wait for me.¡± After jumping out of Heaven Burning Furnace, Heavenly Maiden who was more scared than hurt relaxed, then just when she was about to take advantage of the time when people didn¡¯t see her clearly to fly away, she suddenly felt heavy. She lowered her head, and saw Ye Chuan had grabbed her right leg, and looking from his angle, wouldn¡¯t he¡­¡­ This bastard! The complexion of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was always eager to do well in everything blackened, and she nearly fainted. Chapter 154: Millennium disaster Chapter 154: Millennium disaster Only after she instinctively stamped her legs, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was finally able to shake off this very sticky gum-like Ye Chuan, then covering her face, she ran like wild as she was too ashamed to face other people. This was the real streak (run naked), and the Heavenly Yao Hall was filled with spring scenery. Unfortunately, the event was very sudden and the movement of Heavenly Maiden was also very fast, so when numerous experts of Heavenly Yao Sect was able to react, it was already too late to carefully appreciate, and had no luck to enjoy the beauty. What¡¯s going on here? What happened inside Heaven Burning Furnace? Who was Heavenly Maiden? She was the noble woman who was pure as jade and clean as ice. When she went inside she was perfectly fine, but how come she was naked when coming out from the Heaven Burning Furnace? People were stunned, and even white-haired Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t understand the thing. But one thing was clear, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia lost. She went in later than Ye Chuan, but came out earlier than Ye Chuan. A Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert unexpectedly was not as good as a Rank 2 Xiushi, this was unbelievable, and was contrary to the expectation of all. But the fact was before them, so there was nothing to argue. ¡°You let me win, pardon me, I am taking away this Heaven Burning Furnace.¡± Ye Chuan cupped his hand, then used a technique to put away Heaven Burning Furnace into Cyan Lotus Lamp, no longer giving Heavenly Yao Sect any chance to play another scheme. ¡°Slow down!¡± Elder Tian Qing stood out, but seeing Ye Chuan had already taken away Heaven Burning Furnace, he urgently asked: ¡°Boy, how did you do that?¡± ¡°No comment!¡± Ye Chuan answered. ¡°Then how long do you want to borrow? When will you return it?¡± Elder Tian Qing blocked Ye Chuan, for fear that the latter would take away Heaven Burning Furnace forever. Heavenly Empress sitting above the hall didn¡¯t say a word, clearly, the words Elder Tian Qing had said were the words she wanted to say. The final obstruction was also resolved by Ye Chuan, so now, they were unable to openly prevent him from taking away Heaven Burning Furnace, and could solely hope that he would quickly return Heaven Burning Furnace to minimize the effect as much as possible. ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± Ye Chuan replied making Elder Tian Qing feel tense, and he continued, ¡°But, Elder Tian Qing, please rest assured, this time I came to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace for the sake of refining pills to accomplish the task of Da Qin King. After the task is fulfilled, I will immediately return it.¡± ¡°So that was the case, humph, Da Qin King is clearly making things difficult for you all Cloud Mist Sect, seizing the opportunity to poke his nose into cultivating sects. Ye Chuan, you don¡¯t need to take Heaven Burning Furnace, we will help you settle with Da Qin King, and guarantee you that Da Qin Dynasty will not dare to make a move against Cloud Mist Sect, how is that?¡± Elder Tian Qing¡¯s gaze flashed, and he emitted indistinct killing intent. Heaven Burning Furnace was truly too important for Heavenly Yao Sect, as ever since the ancient times, it had been continuously suppressing the fate of Heavenly Yao Sect, so, for the sake of not letting Heaven Burning Furnace leave the sect, he was willing to even clash with Da Qin Dynasty. Cloud Mist Sect had declined and was very inferior to before, so they didn¡¯t dare to infuriate Da Qin King, however, Heavenly Yao Sect was different! ¡°No, the difficulties of our sect, we will resolve ourselves, how can we have the face to trouble Elder Tian Qing?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, rejecting the offer of Elder Tian Qing and said, ¡°Of course, if you all really encounter the difficulties that you are unable to decide, then I will definitely come looking for you Elder Tian Qing to help. Who asked us Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect be a sworn friend moreover you all be the good younger brother ever since ancient times. Elder Tian Qing, what do you say?¡± ¡°You¡­¡­¡± Elder Tian Qing was angry looking at shameless Ye Chuan and remained silent. Now, he finally understood why Cloud Mist Sect sent Ye Chuan to Heavenly Yao Sect. This boy not only hid himself deeply, his had endless means, moreover, his face was very thick-skinned. Playing hard, they couldn¡¯t capture him, and playing dirty, he even more turned everything around and duped them instead, even a thousand-year-old fox couldn¡¯t be compared to him! ¡°Elder Tian Qing, thank you for your hospitality, help me pass some words to Zixia girl, I will come to see her again, no need to miss me and also don¡¯t worry, I will take the responsibility. Heavenly Empress, I am taking my leave now!¡± Ye Chuan slightly bowed in courtesy, then walking out, he found fatty Zhao Dazhi and Protector Yang Tian Kuang waiting outside for a long time, then walked towards transmission formation of Heavenly Yao Sect. Ye Chuan already had Heaven Burning Furnace in his hand, but he wasn¡¯t that excited. When he was still in Cloud Mist Sect, he already had a well-thought-out plan, and also had lots of ways to obtain Heaven Burning Furnace, even if he truly couldn¡¯t obtain it, he could also snatch it, so he was not worried about this trip to Heavenly Yao Sect. But, on the contrary, he was worried about Cloud Mist Sect. With Sect Master not present as well as Great Elder Zhu Gohong who had guarded the sect for many years personally going to the capital to request an audience to Da Qin King, there was only Second Elder Nangong Ren to stay behind and take care of things. Although this old man was shrewd, but he had the habit of growing medicinal plants, and would often forget to sleep and eat while doing so, how could he control the situation? But what about Third Elder Bai Yanhu, this old fox who already had evil plans long ago? Will he obediently stay without taking advantage of the occasion to stir up the trouble? Ye Chuan was heavy-hearted, and his mind was also ill at ease. But when he arrived at the transmission formation of Heavenly Yao Sect, he suddenly turned around, and discovered indistinct moist footprints thousand meters away. It seems someone was following them, but spreading his divine sense, he sensed nothing, other than the guards of Heavenly Yao Sect patrolling around, he saw no abnormality. ¡°Could it be that¡­¡­¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan changed slightly, he recalled that scene of underground Ghost Market where he had seen a strange woman. That woman suddenly disappeared after he had seen her, and similarly had left behind such damp footprints. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what happened?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi asked, and looking all around his mind was on tenterhooks. Until they leave Heavenly Yao Sect, he would always tremble with terror. ¡°Nothing, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan looked at the grand Heavenly Yao Hall not far away, then entering the transmission formation, the trio of Ye Chuan disappeared without a trace with a flashing of red light. Confirming they had left, the guards of Heavenly Yao Sect dispersed in succession, but no-one noticed that a hooded woman quietly arrived at the transmission formation, then along with Ye Chuan and his group, she also disappeared in the transmission formation. No one knew who she was, and no one noticed her whereabouts, she only left damp footprints near the transmission formation. Inside Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan had already disappeared, but Elder Tian Qing was still there and his complexion was unsightly. The words he would take responsibility for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia said by Ye Chuan before leaving made everyone in the Heavenly Yao Hall unable to not let their imagination roam. When Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia rushed out from Heaven Burning Furnace, she was really in her birthday suit, and only gods know what happened between her and Ye Chuan inside Heaven Burning Furnace. Heavenly Empress above the hall was also silent, and the atmosphere became heavy. She didn¡¯t order so the experts standing below didn¡¯t dare to move, only lowered his head. ¡°Tian Qing, go, make the arrangement, ensure that Ye Chuan and Cloud Mist Sect are safe for this period of time.¡± After a good while, Heavenly Empress finally broke the silence. ¡°Heavenly Empress, this¡­¡­¡± Eder Tian Qing didn¡¯t understand. He could understand if she sent someone to kill Ye Chuan, but why protect him. ¡°Do all of you want someone to snatch Heaven Burning Furnace? Forget it, it has already been many years since great devils have last walked about in this continent. Pass down my orders, all disciples outside the sect for trials and experience are to return to the sect within half-a-month to guard the sect. And from today onwards, seal the entrance of the sect, no one is allowed to take even half-a-step outside the sect without authorization!¡± Heavenly Empress ordered, then turned away. The loss of Heaven Burning Furnace which suppressed the fate of the sect was a great trial for Heavenly Yao Sect. Sooner or later this would have occurred, but this had occurred at the critical juncture where she was about to breakthrough to Sage realm. Calculating, this was very probably the disaster Heavenly Yao Sect was fated to encounter once a millennium. Even if it was not Ye Chuan, Heavenly Yao Sect would have definitely met another unexpected calamity! If a person¡¯s cultivation was too strong, then they would suffer heaven calamity; if a sect exists for too long and become too strong, then heaven will be jealous, and they will be unable to advance smoothly. Chapter 155: Heaven Burning Fury Chapter 155: Heaven Burning Fury With a flash of red light, the trio of Ye Chuan gradually appeared, returning to Cloud Mist Sect which was hundred million li away. ¡°We came back, we finally came back.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi collapsed on the ground. The instant he arrived at Cloud Mist Sect, he truly was unable to support himself. Since stepping into Heavenly Yao Sect, his calf had always been trembling, and he was greatly frightened after experience this trip. Now, he secretly vowed that hereafter he would never go out together with Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan calmly dared to contradict Elder Tain Qing, and even aloof and remote Heavenly Empress, torturing him (fatty) who was beside him. He didn¡¯t have the sufficiently strong heart to face sudden death, but even if there was a person with a strong heart in his place, then he would have gotten so scared that he would be more dead than alive. But, even though he was frightened, Fatty Zhao Dazhi incomparably admired Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan. What was Heaven Burning Furnace? It was known as the defining treasure of Heavenly Yao Sect. No need to mention about alarming Elder Tain Qing, Heavenly Maiden and Kumu warrior Tian Ku, these three giants of Heavenly Yao Sect, even Heavenly Empress who was in seclusion cultivation for thousands of years was alarmed, but in the end, Ye Chuan still obtained Heaven Burning Furnace. This was his capability! Humiliating Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong, leading everybody to win the championship in the Great Competition of three sects, and now obtaining Heaven Burning Sect from Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan had surpassed the expectation of people time and time again, not allowing anyone to remain unconvinced. ¡°We came back, thanks to Ye Chuan, we came back fine. Big Disciple is truly extraordinary!¡± Protector Yang Tian Kuang muttered to himself. His eyes were already blinded, but, he didn¡¯t blame anyone, instead was relieved, ¡°With Heaven Burning Furnace, we can quickly refine all kinds of pills. Now, we don¡¯t need to fear Da Qin King making things difficult for us, making our sect peacefully pass through this disaster.¡± Returning to Cloud Mist Sect, Protector Tian Yang Kuang who had barely escaped with his life like Fatty Zaho Dazhi was also thinking similar to fatty. This trip to Heavenly Yao Sect was far more dangerous than they had expected. In any case, he was Protector of Cloud Mist Sect and represented Cloud Mist Sect, but he was not even able to make an appointment to see Elder Tain Qing. Fortunately, Ye Chuan who was traveling together had both courage and cunning. With him, not only they return safely, they even successfully borrowed Heaven Burning Furnace. Yang Tian Kuang was an honest and unsophisticated person, he wasn¡¯t good at socializing and also wasn¡¯t good at expressing, but he was intelligent. With the performance of Ye Chuan, now no-one would be able to shake his position of Big Disciple, moreover, after tempering for few more years, perhaps he could become Sect Master too. Originally, Yang Tian Kuang didn¡¯t particularly have any expectation of Ye Chuan, but now, quietly weighing in his mind, he knew that he had to seriously think over his standpoint. If Ye Chuan wanted to become Sect Master, then he must create his own power first, for this, he needed loyal and capable followers. And on the other way around, he had to be head and shoulders above the others within the sect so that the disciples of the sect would be able to size up the situation and attach themselves to him. Now taking advantage of the time when Ye Chuan was still not developed, if he took the initiative to attach to Ye Chuan, then although the risk was high, but the result in the future would be the largest! Honest and unsophisticated didn¡¯t mean he was willing to stay quiet, Yang Tian Kuang also had a heart unwilling to be left out and seek higher position and stronger strength. ¡°Protector Yang, this time you suffered grievance in Heavenly Yao Sect. But don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take care of your eyes. In a period of time, I will certainly find a way to help you restore your vision.¡± Ye Chuan patted the shoulder of Protector Yang Tian Kuang, and knowing what was in the latter¡¯s mind, he seized this chance to win over Protector Yang Tian Kuang. The eyes of Protector Yang Tian Kuang was cut by Hou Shan, so ordinary pills were of no use, but Ye Chuan who was once able to conceal heaven with his hand had his means. ¡°Thank you, noble son Ye.¡± Protector Yang Tian Kuang was overjoyed, and his form of address subconsciously changed, no longer addressing Ye Chuan with his name. He didn¡¯t know why, but just like fatty having inexplicable trust in Ye Chuan, when Ye Chuan said he would help him cure his eyes, he believed that Ye Chuan could absolutely do it! ¡°Let¡¯s go, we shouldn¡¯t let Second Elder and others wait for too long.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and led two of them outside the transmission formation. Setting foot on the territory of Cloud Mist Sect, no matter if it was fatty or Protector Yang Tian Kuang, the restless heart of both of them calmed down. But walking a few steps ahead, they nearly bumped onto Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan who was walking in the front had suddenly stopped his steps. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what happened?¡± Fatty asked. ¡°There is a trouble!¡± Ye Chuan lowered his voice, and don¡¯t know when, his body became tense, shoulders sunk and he tightened his abdominal muscles as if he was facing a formidable foe. ¡°Trouble?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi confusedly looked all around, and asked in confusion, ¡°This is inside our sect, there are many experts as well as restrictions here, even a peerless great devil cannot kill all the way to here, what¡¯s the trouble?¡± ¡°Fatty, we have trouble inside.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s voice was cold and with a hint of sadness, he said, ¡°We have walked for so long, but don¡¯t you feel it¡¯s too quiet?¡± A cold wind blew and only the fallen leaves rustled. The heart of fatty and Protector Yang Tian Kuang shook, hearing Ye Chuan, they also discovered that all along the path, it was too quiet, unusually quiet. Where did all the disciples and odd-job men who used to walk to-and-fro on this path go? ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, Big Disciple really is powerful, your eyes are sufficiently sharp!¡± A burst of laughter came from inside the thick forest, then a group of fully armed troops came out. The leader was big and tall burly fellow wearing heavy armor. Compared to the average person, he was a head taller. His arms were also as thick as the thigh of ordinary people, and he was carrying 8000 jin heavy hammer. With his every step, he would leave a deep footprint, definitely was a powerful and overbearing person. ¡°This is Third Elder Bai Yanhu¡¯s trusted subordinate, Bai Shengshui, is ranked second among his trusted subordinates, also known as Bai Two. Among Third Elder¡¯s trusted subordinates, he is the cruelest. Noble son, be careful.¡± Protector Yang Tian Kuang pricked up his ears and warned Ye Chuan in a low voice. He was blind, but compared to Ye Chuan and fatty Zhao Dazhi, he had stayed far longer within Cloud Mist Sect, so his understanding of the trusted subordinates of Third Elder Bai Yanhu was also greater. ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s right, I am Bai Two, the cruelest person, I can kill people without batting an eyelid, moreover I like to use a blunt sword to cut the throat. What, are you afraid? Hahaha¡­¡­¡± Hearing the words of protector Yang Tian Kuang, Bai Two roared with laughter, while numerous guards under his lead ferociously glared at them. He had already placed a footman near the transmission formation to watch it day and night, waiting for the arrival of Ye Chuan and his group. The trio of Ye Chuan escaped the tiger¡¯s den leaving Heavenly Yao Sect, but immediately were thrown into wolves¡¯ lair, and just stepping in, they were ambushed by Bai Two. ¡°Did Third Elder finally make his move?¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan become ice-cold, and standing motionless, he coldly asked, ¡°Where is Second Elder, what happened to him?¡± ¡°Rest assured, he hasn¡¯t died, we just cut off his legs. His lower body ceased to exist but the upper body still exists, so he still hasn¡¯t died, hahahaha!¡± Bai Two roared with laughter, and with soaring killing intent, he continued, ¡°That old fellow only knew planting medicinal herbs, is not qualified to be an elder from the start. Didn¡¯t he like medicinal herbs, later he can become a medicine person, especially to test all kinds of poison in the sect. Big Senior Apprentice-brother, you returned at the right time, you can try to persuade Second Elder, that old man to accept his fate, then you can still appreciate little junior apprentice-sister Zhu Sijia¡¯s graceful bearing. This evening, she is going to have a bridal chamber with Sect Master Bai Yanhu, tasting the pleasure of close intimacy in a couple. From a young girl, she would become a young married woman, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Perhaps he recalled Zhu Sijia¡¯s graceful bearing, and that snow-white fine and smooth skin, Bai Two greedily licked his lips and his eyes flashed with jealousy. What a beautiful young girl she was who was unruly and shrewish, she absolutely had enough vigor, tonight if he was the one that was having the bridal chamber with her, then how good that would be, he would have fought bravely for the entire night until the dawn. Unfortunately, the protagonist wasn¡¯t him, Third Elder Bai Yanhu would personally deflower her. ¡°Dirty swine!¡± Ye Chuan was so angry that blue veins appeared on his face. Rising to rebellion, it was fine, but severing the legs of Second Elder Nangong Ren while still alive as well as bringing disgrace to little junior apprentice-sister Zhu Sijia in public, were they still human being to treat so cruelly and shamelessly to their own people? Now he was angry, he was so angry that he wanted to burn heaven, and the flames of fury came down in torrents to this evil land! Heaven Burning Fury! Ye Chuan was so angry that the energy fluctuation within his body rose successively! Chapter 156: Don’t tremble before my fury Chapter 156: Don¡¯t tremble before my fury ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, don¡¯t, don¡¯t rush ahead!¡± Fatty Zaho Dazhi pulled Ye Chuan, and said anxiously: ¡°Leave, immediately leave this place and go to the capital to look for Great Elder. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, quickly leave!¡± Hearing this matter suddenly, Fatty who was unprepared was dumbfounded, but he quickly reacted. Knowing Third Elder Bai Yanhu had publicly revolted, his back was soaked with sweat. Second Elder Nangong Ren who had stayed behind to take care of things was severely injured, it was not clear whether the millennium genius of the sect, Nan Tiandu was dead or alive, and Zhu Sijia was captured, moreover, with Great Elder Zhu Guohong being far away in the capital, the entire Cloud Mist Sect had already fallen into the hands of Third Elder Bai Yanhu. At this moment, Ye Chuan, this sect¡¯s Big Disciple was the backbone of still resisting disciples, so if he was to meet an accident, then Cloud Mist Sect would be thoroughly done for! ¡°That¡¯s right, noble son Ye, leave!¡± Protector Yang Tian Kuang also shouted loudly, suddenly blocking in front of Ye Chuan. The rebellion of Third Elder Bai Yanhu was beyond his expectation, but thinking about it clearly, there were few indications. Still, he knew that this was the best chance for him to show his loyalty to Ye Chuan. Yang Tian Kuang quickly made his position clear, regardless of public or private matters, he would firmly stand on Ye Chuan¡¯s side. ¡°Hahaha, leave? Do you have the ability to leave?¡± Bai Two roared with laughter, then with his signal, over hundred followers scattered and heavily surrounded three people. Especially the path leading to the transmission formation was blocked by several experts. Third Elder Bai Yanhu was cunning and crafty, when the Cloud Mist Sect was mostly empty, he suddenly initiated the rebel and controlled the sect in one fell swoop. Now, there were only his people inside and outside the sect. Moreover, he had also prepared a heavy ambush around the transmission formation, and unprepared Ye Chuan and other two who had just returned from Heavenly Yao Sect fell into the trap. Now, they were unable to escape even if they were given wings. ¡°Who said we want to leave? How can I leave without killing all of you?¡± Ye Chuan coldly stared at overbearing Bai Two, and killing intent became denser and denser in the air. Then with a flash of cyan light, an Evil Eyed Cow Demon appeared beside him. ¡°Aha, what¡¯s this? Evil Eyed Cow Demon?¡± Bai Two exaggeratedly opened his eyes wide, then grinning hideously, he said: ¡°Brothers, did you see, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan is angry, he wants to use Evil Eyed Cow Demon to kill us, aren¡¯t you all afraid?¡± ¡°Lord Two, we are afraid!¡± ¡°With the anger of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, blood will splatter everywhere, we are so afraid, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­.. Bai Two¡¯s followers simultaneously laughed sinisterly and advanced towards the trio of Ye Chuan. Third Elder Bai Yanhu had schemed for a long time. When he got the opportunity, he made his move as fast as lightning, creating foul wind and bloody rain, quickly getting rid of Great Elder and Second Elder¡¯s trusted subordinates, and finally controlling the sect. Now although Ye Chuan¡¯s fury was soaring, but with his trivial cultivation of Rank 2 Xiushi, even though he was angry, what kind of waves could he create? After he killed off this Big Disciple of the sect, Cloud Mist Sect would thoroughly be under the control of Third Elder Bai Yanhu. At that time, Bai Two would become a person under one person and above millions, and everyone will have to follow him to live well! ¡°Stand firmly, don¡¯t go soft on your legs, and don¡¯t tremble before my fury!¡± Ye Chuan took a deep breath and used a technique. With an endless stream of dazzling cyan light, more and more Evil Eyed Cow Demons appeared beside Ye Chuan, two, ten, hundred¡­¡­, in an instant, a large group of Evil Eyed Cow Demons appeared. And with this place instantly becoming absolutely silence, these Evil Eyed Cow Demons arranged themselves in a formation. As the number of Evil Eyed Cow Demons increased, the threatening pressure also increased. In Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Evil Eyed Cow Demons were the lowest level yao beasts. With a casual move, anyone among them could easily kill them. A single Evil Eyed Cow Demon was not worth mentioning, ten of them together was also nothing, but if hundred or several hundreds of them clustered together, what about then? Numerous Evil Eyed Cow Demons¡¯ bull eyes flashed with cyan light, this made Bai two as well as his followers sense great danger. What was even worse was the cyan light was still flashing and even more Evil Eyed Cow Demons were coming out from the Cyan Lotus Lamp of Ye Chuan. And finally, along with a loud roar, a huge Evil Cow King appeared, instantly increasing the pressure. ¡°Attack, kill this brat surnamed Ye!¡± Big and tall Bai Two loudly roared and took the lead to rush towards Ye Chuan. Just a moment ago, he was overbearing as he had a well-thought-out plan, but in an instant, he felt anything but reassuring, so he had no choice but to initiate the attack. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Chop this brat into pieces and refine him into a poison man!¡± Over hundred followers holding gleaming swords also rushed in succession. Protector Yang Tian Kuang became pale, fatty Zhao Dazhi was even more unable to bear and his entire body trembled. He wanted to go ahead and fight, but his legs went soft. Instantly, closely compacted cyan radiance suddenly illuminated the sky. Ye Chuan suppressed his fury and didn¡¯t attack personally, instead, Evil Eyed Cow Demons arranged neatly in a formation suddenly showed their power. The one to initiate the first attack were 10 Evil Eyed Cow Demons behind Evil Cow King, closely followed by 100 Evil Eyed Cow Demon, and then, suddenly 300 Evil Eyed Cow Demons attacked. The first wave of attack merely gave a bit of trouble to Bai Two who was rushing in the front with threatening momentum, he easily dodged past it. But the second wave of attack which immediately followed after however heavily landed directly on his armor. And with the bombardment of these over hundred cyan light beams, this armor which was known as indestructible armor disintegrated. Next, the third wave of Evil Eyed Cow Demons arrived, which didn¡¯t give Bai Two any time to dodge. This time, it was not only 100 Evil Eyed Cow Demons that attack, rather it was no less than 300 Evil Eyed Cow Demons, so the attack power was thrice as much as the second wave. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Big and tall Bai Two gave a horrible shriek, as his big and tall body like a shooting target became full of hole. What were three swords and six holes? This bombardment of Evil Eyed Cow Demons¡¯ attack was the true cruel torture, even hacked to pieces was also barely comparable to this! Bai Two was also a distinct character in Cloud Mist Sect, several dozen years ago, his cultivation had already reached the later stage of Xiushi realm. But, in front of Evil Eyed Cow Demons legion of Ye Chuan, he died without leaving an intact corpse. People who personally witnessed this would rather have their body smashed to pieces and their bones ground to powder but were unwilling to have this kind of bad end. The body of Bai Two was full of bloody holes, seeing that, the heart of all the people trembled. The followers of Bai Two who were rushing towards Ye Chuan from all around suddenly stopped in unison, and everyone became ghastly pale. A moment ago, these fellows were still laughing sinisterly, thinking about how they would live well hereafter. Now, their legs had gone soft while trembling. No one had ever expected that Ye Chuan, this nobody Big Senior Apprentice-Brother of former days was this fierce and cruel. ¡°Run, run fast!¡± Don¡¯t know who screamed first, over hundred thugs dispersed in confusion, all coincidentally fled in defeat. Unfortunately, the same bad end of Bai Two was awaiting them. With another wave after wave of dazzling cyan lights, Evil Eyed Cow Demons ruthlessly reaped the lives of these thugs like cutting the vegetables. In the vast Cloud Mist Mountain Range, wild Evil Eyed Cow Demons were scatted and disunited, so they were rarely a threat towards cultivators. But in the hand of Ye Chuan, they changed into the Death God! ¡°You¡­, brat, Third Elder will not¡­¡­, will not let you off!¡± Bai Two who had already changed into a sieve was unexpectedly still not dead. He raised his head with great difficulty and looked at Ye Chuan and said. ¡°Wrong, I will not let Third Elder, that old dog off. I will make him regret coming into this world!¡± Ye Chuan stamped the face of Bai Two, then crushed him using strength. The complexion of this big and tall fellow collapsed, and his breathing thoroughly stopped. Then, not even looking at the corpse of this fellow, Ye Chuan rode Evil Cow King, then leading Evil Eyed Cow Demons, they went straight to the Cloud Mist Hall at the highest peak of Cloud Mist Sect. Chapter 157: Hei Fu Chapter 157: Hei Fu The activity around the transmission formation quickly alarmed the troops of Third Elder Bai Yanhu, and the waves after waves of rebel forces rushed towards the transmission formation. Among them, there were strangers, but there were even more disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, and a lot of them were famous disciples. The more familiar the people, the more ferocious they were to set up a great merit in this betrayal to seize the position. Third Elder Bai Yanhu had actively schemed for many years, and he had already bought many disciples secretly. After openly betraying, he severely injured Second Elder Nangong Ren and after sitting on the seat of Sect Master, many people sided with him to live and material gains. This infighting was incomparably fiercer than the expectation. Ye Chuan was worried about seriously injured Second Elder and captured Zhu Sijia, so leading the troops Evil Eyed Cow Demons, he rushed forward. And facing all the rebel forces who tried to block his path, he only had one order, kill, kill them all. More than 1000 Evil Eyed Cow Demons ran like a mad in formation. On one side, they killed all the rebel forces who blocked their path, and on the other side, they ran wildly towards Cloud Mist Hall. En route, when they encountered an expert of rebel forces, Ye Chuan would personally attack, killing them without demur. With killing intent rising, Evil Eyed Cow Demons roared, and under his command, the momentum of Evil Eyed Cow Demons soared, and all the rebel forces that were blocking their path collapsed at the first encounter. When the troops of Ye Chuan just reached the foot of the highest peak, another group of troops rushed out from the peak. All of them were wearing the standard robe of the sect and there were nearly 500 of them. In a single glance, one could see that they were the former elites of Cloud Mist Sect. The worst cultivation level was also Rank 1 Xiushi. With more than 500 gathered together, their killing intent was sweeping across everything. ¡°Accelerate, rush forward, kill for me!¡± Ye Chuan was burning with impatience, he was dying to fly to the summit¡¯s Cloud Mist Hall. With his order, the troops of Evil Eyed Cow Demons darted over. And when the distance was less than 100 meters, Evil Eyed Cow Demons initiated waves after waves of attacks. Countless cyan radiance streaked across the sky, and the rebel forces in the front immediately collapsed, but the remaining forces quickly reacted. They immediately spread out in all direction, and hiding in the bush and behind stones, they began to counterattack. Some people used crossbows, some people used flying swords, but all of them used all their strength to counterattack madly. Very soon, casualties appeared among Evil Eyed Cow Demons, a lot of Evil Eyed Cow Demons rushing forward suddenly uttered sad calls and collapsed to the ground. ¡°Attack, kill him, offer the head of this brat surnamed Ye to our Sect Master, it would be the best gift!¡± Among rebel forces, a plump middle-aged man rushed out. He was wearing a black cloak and with his hand spread out, just like a bat, he was flying at low altitude. He had a scimitar in his hand, and with every flashing of blade light, an Evil Eyed Cow Demon would collapse. He drifted from place to place, one moment he was on the left side and in another moment, he was already on the right, dodging all the cyan radiances. Under his command, the rebel forces counterattacked more and more violently, tenaciously dragging on Ye Chuan¡¯s Eyed Cow Demons legion. ¡°This is another trusted subordinate of Third Elder Bai Yanhu, Wang Xianhua, he is known for his speed and footwork. He is very sinister, ruthless and cold-blooded, is called Hei Fu.¡± Protector Yang Tian Kuang warned Ye Chuan. With just the voice, he recognized the identity of this middle-aged man, and a trace of dread appeared on his face. It seems, he had personally crossed path with this plump fellow, experiencing the ferociousness of the latter. ¡°Hahaha, yes, I am Hei Fu, Yang Tian Kuang, what happen to your eyes? Finally, Third Elder has ascended to the top, becoming the Sect Master, but you are still not surrendering and expressing your loyalty, do you still want to obstinately persist in going about things the wrong way? Now, the entire sect is already our world, and you all are already doomed to be unable to recover. If you don¡¯t lower your head, then it would be too later after my scimitar cut open your throat, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Hei Fu roared with laughter, and with the scimitar in his hand chopping down, yet another Evil Eyed Cow Demon collapsed. ¡°What Hei Fu (Black Bat), kill!¡± Ye Chuan shouted loudly, and suddenly he soared into the sky, then, disappeared, instantly after that, the air just beside Hei Fu distorted. ¡°Wind Style?¡± Hei Fu who was very experienced cried out in fear, next, he understood that this was not an ordinary Style Technique. Even compared to the experts of Five Style Sect who were good at Style Techniques, the attack of Ye Chuan was even more unpredictable. With the air all around rippling, it appeared as if dozens of experts of Style Techniques were simultaneously initiating an attack. It was basically impossible to predict from where Ye Chuan would attack. Hei Fu was excellent, proving himself the trusted subordinate of Third Elder Bai Yanhu. At the critical moment, he calmed down, didn¡¯t dodge blindly. Then he suddenly turned around, and a blade light whistled past him. Hei Fu retreated being pleased to himself, as he was able to narrowly dodge an extremely thin blade. But just when he relaxed, a strong wind came from behind him, turning around to look, he saw a blade which was exactly the same as before appearing in front of his pupils which was becoming bigger and bigger. Whoosh! Hei Fu spun, and the second blade just scratched his scalp, cutting off few strands of long hairs. Facing the sudden attack, he was able to successfully dodge, this proves that his reputation really wasn¡¯t just for a show. The third blade closely followed the second blade, then forth blade, fifth blade¡­¡­ In the eyes of experts, one blade came after another, but in the eyes of ordinary disciples, suddenly 7-8 blades appeared in the sky, which respectively targeted Hei Fu¡¯s space between the eyebrows, throat, dantian and so on vital points. Hei Fu who had always been famous for speed, after the seventh blade flashed, he issued a blood-curdling scream, then the eighth blade securely nailed him to a roadside tree. His eyes were wide open as he died with a grievance. At this moment, Ye Chuan appeared from behind a tree. Unparalleled Style Techniques coupled with Inch Light, the attack of Ye Chuan was even more terrifying compared to the so-called first-rate assassins! ¡°Kill, stall them, Sect Master will arrive soon!¡± ¡°Use crossbows and flying swords, stall them!¡± Even with the death of Hei Fu, the remaining rebel forces unexpectedly didn¡¯t collapse, they crazily attacked the legion of Evil Eyed Cow Demons. Some people even sacrificed their flying sword and cooperated to attack Ye Chuan. The closer he was to the Cloud Mist hall, the stronger the rebel forces were, it seems he encountered the main force of Third Elder Bai Yanhu. Slowly, the pace of Evil Eyed Cow Demons legion slowed down and the casualties also increased, and then disturbance appeared in the formation. Ear deafening roar suddenly came from the rear mountain which was accompanied by powerful energy fluctuation. Powerful! Rank 4 Daoist Master realm, no, Rank 5 Daoist Master realm great expert? Ye Chuan was startled, and the pressure increased vastly. Relying on Evil Eyed Cow Demons legion and his doughy body, ordinary Xiushi realm cultivators wouldn¡¯t be able to pose any threat to him, but if a Rank 5 Daoist Master realm great expert came then that would be troublesome. If he was careless, let along saving Second Elder and Zhu Sijia, even he would be buried here! But he truly wanted to kill Third Elder Bai Yanhu who had taken the advantage to seize Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s authority. ¡°Noble son Ye, we are coming!¡± With whistling sound coming closer and closer, a tall and big figure appeared in front of the people. He had a purplish red beard and cracked skin as if tree¡¯s bark. Behind him, a large number of disciples of Cloud Mist Sect filled with killing intent appeared one after another. ¡°Flame Devil, is that you?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi who had been continuously trembling suddenly got excited. After coming under Ye Chuan, Flame Devil had turned into a medicinal slave, peacefully growing medicinal herbs on the mountain. But, even if he turned into an ash, fatty could never forget that he was a great devil that sweep over the underground Ghost Market. With such great devil here, who could block their path? Fatty became excited, and the rebel forces that were harassing them fled in defeat one after another. Chapter 158: His blood boils Chapter 158: His blood boils There were more than 800 disciples following behind Flame Devil. Among them, there was no lack of elite disciples. And after the two troops joined together, their morale greatly soared. Ye Chuan continuously lead the troops, rushing towards Cloud Mist Hall. On the way, under the explanation of Flame Devil, Ye Chuan quickly understood the current situation from the very beginning. Soon after he left Cloud Mist Sect, Great Elder Zhu Guohong led a group of his trusted subordinates setting out the journey towards the capital, and Second Elder Nangong Ren cautiously and conscientiously guarded the sect. But, that evening, his trusted subordinate reported Second Elder that his medicinal field was destroyed by an unknown yao beast, and only a few medicinal herbs survived. Second Elder Nangong Ren who was nicknamed medicinal crazy upon hearing this report was startled and angry, then he immediately left Cloud Mist Hall in worry all on his own. But when he arrived at his medicinal field, he discovered that this was a trap, and unfortunately, it was already too late. He suffered the ambush meticulously prepared by Third Elder, and they chopped off his legs while he was still alive and destroying his cultivation, he was imprisoned. Next, Third Elder initiated rebellion without any humanity. Leading his trusted subordinates, he killed off all the trusted subordinates of Second Elder and Great Elder. In the space of one night, he massacred many people, grasping the authority of Cloud Mist Sect. All the disciples that were unwilling to surrender were either beheaded on the spot or were captured and thrown into the prison, or fled to the rear mountain¡¯s Heavenly Dragon Peak. And at the critical moment, Flame Devil who had stayed behind to take care of Heavenly Mountain Peak activated the Demon Extermination Formation left behind by cyan robed Seventh Elder, firmly blocking the attacks of Third Elder several times. After that, this rear mountain that was barren and dangerous in former days became the sanctuary of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples. And after hearing the roar of Ye Chuan, Flame Devil knew that Ye Chuan had returned from Heavenly Yao Sect, so without the slightest hesitation, Flame Devil lead the group of Cloud Mist Sect to kill out to this place. ¡°Yi Yangzi, are you injured?¡± Seeing the cracked skin of Flame Devil, Ye Chuan frowned. After undergoing quiet cultivation in Cloud Mist Sect for the period of time, the heart demon of Flame Devil had been resolved, his body was also already recovered, and all the cracks also had already been healed. But now, his skin was cracked again, which means, either he forcibly circulated All Direction Scorching Sun Technique to engage in battle suffering the backlash again, or, he encountered an expert, suffering severe injury. No matter what it was, the circumstance was very pessimistic. ¡°I battled with Third Elder Bai Yanhu, that old fellow, but I am fine, merely suffer a small injury, nothing more.¡± Flame Devil appeared as if he didn¡¯t care, and lowering his voice, he said, ¡°But, Bai Tanhu, the strength of that old fellow is much more powerful compared to his strength on the surface, he had hidden deeply, he is absolutely higher than Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, moreover, he had several mysterious experts helping beside him. Noble son, when you meet that old fellow, be sure to be careful!¡± Flame Devil didn¡¯t care about his injury, but when mentioning about Third Elder Bai Yanhu, he immediately became heavy-hearted and his complexion also became solemn. Even he, Great Devil who once had walked unhindered through the continent was so solemn, one could well imagine the terror of Third Elder Bai Yanhu. He was absolutely not that wise and kind elder he pretended to be in former days, otherwise, how could he be capable of massacring to grasp the authority of the sect in the space of a night! ¡°What about Zhu Sijia?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Captured.¡± Seeing Ye Chuan had a rather apprehensive appearance, Flame Devil indistinctly knew that Ye Chuan and Great Elder¡¯s pearl in the plam Zhu Sijia ha a subtle relation. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°This matter occurred so suddenly that no one had time to prepare. That old fellow captured Zhu Sijia and detained her in Cloud Mist Hall. They say, for celebrating that old fellow assuming the position of Sect Master, that old fellow wants¡­¡­ This old slave repeatedly attacked several times, but wasn¡¯t able to rescue her. Noble son, I am sorry, this old slave wasn¡¯t capable enough.¡± Flame Devil was remorseful and uneasy. When Ye Chuan was out, he however wasn¡¯t even able to protect his most liked little junior apprentice-sister, Zhu Sijia. As a venerable Rank 5 Daoist Master realm expert who had once marched unhindered through the continent, this was his unforgivable mistake. ¡°I don¡¯t blame you, it¡¯s fine that she is alive. What about Nan Tiandu? Where is he?¡± Ye Chuan lowered his voice, thinking about that always tall and straight figure. Inside and outside the sect, among the younger generation disciples, only Nan Taindu was regarded highly by him! And he was sure that, over time, this genius of the sect would definitely become a great expert of the sect. ¡°Dead, Nan Tiandu, he died!¡± The eyes of Flame Devil became bright red, then recalling the bloody battle of Nan Tiandu, he lowered his voice and said, ¡°Hearing Second Elder¡¯s matter, Nan Tiandu rushed out from his seclusion cultivation, unfortunately, he also fell into the trap of Third Elder, encountering the ambush of several dozen experts. But, he instead killed all those experts and with blood from head to foot, Nan Tiandu rushed forward to rescue Second Elder regardless of his own safety. But then, under the loud berate of Second Elder, he turned to kill towards Cloud Mist Hall to rescue Zhu Sijia. Unfortunately, he was unable to have his wish fulfilled, as he was already severely injured, had his arm cut off and his dantian cracked becoming a cripple. When this old slave rescued him back to Heavenly Dragon Mountain, he was already on the verge of death, and catching all of us off-guard, he jumped down Evil Dragon Abyss, committing suicide in utter despair! Before jumping down Evil Dragon Abyss, he only said one sentence.¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan became colder and his breathing became somewhat rapid, ¡°What did Nan Tiandu say?¡± ¡°Before dying, Nan Tiandu said only one sentence, noble son will avenge him.¡± Flame Devil answered with his eyes red and hands tightly clenched. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan looked up to the heaven, then roared wrathfully. He was truly angry, every drop of his blood burned and boiled over. And the three Heaven Swallowing Talismans circulated and seethed very rapidly like never before. This was the first time Ye Chuan was truly angry since he reincarnated after millions of years. With regarding the schemes of silkpants Jin Hua, and the insult and suppression of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong, he was never angry, and he responded to them carefreely. But now, with regarding sinister, ruthless and cold-blooded Third Elder, this base and shameless old fellow who devour a man without spitting out the bones, he truly was angry. And as if he was staying inside Heaven Burning Furnace, all the blood within his body burned, if it didn¡¯t burn all his enemies to ashes, then his own body will burn to ashes! ¡°Bai¡­¡­Yan¡­¡­hu¡­¡­, come¡­.out¡­.for me¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan shouted loudly, then he suddenly rushed towards Cloud Mist Hall at the summit. His voice as if muffled thunder, reverberated throughout the sect for a long time. Inside and outside the sect, all the people of both sides simultaneously stopped and their complexion changed. In an instant, all coincidentally rushed over towards Cloud Mist Hall. Ye Chuan who had just returned to Cloud Mist Sect resolutely send out a challenge to Third Elder Bai Yanhu. In fact, it was very disadvantageous for Ye Chuan to do so. Rank 2 Xiushi realm against Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, this was kind of challenge was no different from throwing an egg against a rock, and it bore ill rather than well. Originally, Ye Chuan was also not intending to do so, merely thinking to lead the troops killing all the way to Cloud Mist Hall and rescue Zhu Sijia. But, hearing about Nan Tiandu, he was thoroughly enraged, even if he had spent all of his life-vitality even to the extent that he had to sleep for next millions of years, he wanted to kill this old fellow Bai Yanhu! ¡°Maintain the formation, charge, speed up, charge forward for me!¡± Seeing the back view of Ye Chuan, Flame Devil was burned with impatience, he was dying to charge forward with Ye Chuan. But his great experience made him forcibly calm down, he commanded the troops to kill all the way so as to support Ye Chuan who was in the forefront. Chapter 159: Demonic Voice Chapter 159: Demonic Voice Enraged Ye Chuan as if the god of slaughter completely broke prohibition against taking life. With the blade light flashing in between his fingers, he wielded all his extremely thin blades, using Inch Blade Technique of Cloud Mist Sect founder Ghost Hand Medicinal King. All the people near him blocking his path didn¡¯t leave behind intact corpses. The loyal lackeys of Third Elder Bai Yanhu who were advancing wave upon wave were finally scared. Seeing Ye Chuan with gleaming blades pressing forward, they however subconsciously retreated back step by step. The cultivation of many people was clearly higher than Ye Chuan, but they didn¡¯t dare to charge, and seeing Flame Devil rushing over leading the troops, they dispersed in confusion. After a little while, Ye Chuan killed all the way to Cloud Mist Hall at the summit. This place was the authority center of Cloud Mist Sect in former days, but now, it was the headquarter of rebel forces with self-proclaimed Sect Master Third Elder Bai Yanhu and his groups of trusted aides. Zhu Sijia with disheveled hair was tied to a stone pillar, and her mouth was stuffed with a cloth. After seeing Ye Chuan, she was excited, but she could only let out ¡®wuwuwu¡¯ sound from her throat, unable to speak anything. Pa, Pa, Pa¡­¡­ Bai Yanhu clapped, and with living high and looking down as well as confident appearance, he said, ¡°Awesome, tsk tsk, Big Disciple is truly awesome. Although you have just broken through to Xiushi realm, but compared to the overwhelming majority of the so-called experts of Xiushi realm, you are more powerful. Having this kind of Big Disciple, if my Cloud Mist Sect don¡¯t rejuvenate then who will?¡± ¡°Having Big Disciple like me is sect¡¯s good fortune, but having the old dog like you is sect¡¯s misfortune!¡± Ye Chuan stepped forward with dense killing intent. He completely ignored those rebel forces around, publicly challenging Bai Yanhu, ¡°Come, old dog, today, I will kill you in public and let them see your conscience changed into what kind of dog lungs!¡± The complexion of Bai Yanhu who was smiling changed all of a sudden, and without any flaunting, his complexion became sinister and ruthless. Ye Chuan¡¯s two words ¡®Old dog¡¯, they were incomparably venting their hatred in the ears of Flame Devils and others, but in the ears of Bai Yanhu, they were incomparably harsh! ¡°Audacious brat, meeting Sect Master Bai, but still not kneeling down? Do you brat what to¡­¡­¡± From behind Bai Yanhu, a thin disciple shouted, but before he could finish talking, a blade light flashed in front of his eyes and he suddenly felt cold in his throat. Then, covering his throat, he collapsed, and from the crack of his fingers, blood flowed out. ¡°I, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother am teaching a dog, and when I am speaking to the old dog, small dogs shouldn¡¯t come forward to court death.¡± Ye Chuan moved his finger, and as if icy mountain, he coldly said which was bone-piercingly cold. From the beginning to the end, he didn¡¯t even look at that thin fellow, just a single thin blade killed him off. The complexion of Bai Yanhu changed, and the experts clustered around him also were the same. Now, the atmosphere suddenly got tense. This move of Ye Chuan made many experts sense threat. It seemed although the cultivation realm of Ye Chuan was low, but with regarding the consummate blade technique, he was very powerful, and his accomplishment and capability were far higher compared to ordinary Rank 2 Xiushi realm cultivators. The move of just now, many late-stage Xiushi realm experts weren¡¯t able to see clearly. ¡°Ye Chuan, don¡¯t be a fool enough to reject a face-saving offer, I will give you the last opportunity, kneel down and surrender, then you can still be Big Disciple of the sect. And in the future, when I break through to Sage realm and go beyond the highest heavens after ripping the void, you can become the Sect Master of Cloud Mist Sect. You cannot repent after the death, and you should know where to stop, otherwise, don¡¯t blame this lordship for ruthlessly hanging you to death at the entrance of the sect!¡± The eyes of Bai Yanhu flashed with an ominous glint. Since appeasing didn¡¯t work, he began to show ferocious appearance. ¡°Want me to surrender and serve you as Sect Master are also not impossible, merely¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan took a step forward, then his eyes flashed with indistinct cyan light. ¡°Merely what? Want me to bestow you a peerless treasure or release Zhu Sijia?¡± The eyes of Bai Yanhu shone, subconsciously taking a step forward, and now the distance between them had unknowingly narrowed down to just ten meters. Bai Yanhu was also angry and from a long time ago, he hated Ye Chuan so much that he wanted to tear him to shreds with his own hands. But, if Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple submit and pledge allegiance, then it would be very beneficial for him to firmly sit on the position of Sect Master, moreover, numerous disciples who were currently hesitating would surrender quickly. So he decided to first agree to the demand of Ye Chuan, controlling him, then after the situation stabilized, it would not be too late to slowly punish him! ¡°I want a treasure, I want Zhu Sijia to be released too, these two conditions can¡¯t do without either, in addition, I want half of the pills collected within the sect.¡± Ye Chuan stepped forward once again. ¡°This¡­¡­¡± Bia Yanhu somewhat hesitated, Cloud Mist Sect was most skilled in alchemy, if he gave Ye Chuan half the collection, then if Ye Chuan just pretended to surrender and ran away with the pills, then that would be a huge loss. The demand of Ye Chuan was too much, which was unbearable for Bai Yanhu. He didn¡¯t know why, the voice of Ye Chuan appeared to be fluttering, he was standing in the front but his voice appeared to be coming from thousands of miles away. The mind of Bai Yanhu who was always cunning and crafty blanked out for a moment. Now¡¯s the time! Attack! Ye Chuan suddenly disappeared, and nine shockwaves appeared in the sky flying towards Bai Yanhu. With his current Rank 2 Xiushi realm cultivation, if he wished to kill Bai Yanhu who was Daoist Master realm in a head-on confrontation, then it was practically impossible, so his only means was to defeat his opponent by a surprise move. Demonic Voice! When Ye Chuan haggling, he was secretly using a peerless technique Demonic Voice. This was a kind of long-lost sound-based attack, which once was the life-technique of a great devil. Millions of years ago, after Ye Chuan had beheaded him, Ye Chuan had obtained this technique. And secretly using this technique during the battle, it was extraordinarily effective, causing powerful people to become muddle-headed, even to the extent of directly obliterating the other¡¯s soul. With the cultivation of rank 2 Xiushi, Ye Chuan was far from being able to demonstrate the full power of Demonic Voice Technique, and especially using it against Bai Yanhu, this old fox in Daoist Master realm, he was at most blank out for only a moment. But this was enough for Ye Chuan! ¡°Watch out!¡± From behind Bai Yanhu, a masked man suddenly rushed out, pushing away Bai Yanhu who was in a trance. Dazzling blade light suddenly shone. The entire body of this masked man shook, and his big and tall body suddenly collapsed to the ground, as fatal gaping wounds appeared on the space between his eyes, throat, stomach and other vital places. And with the blowing of a cold wind, his black robe was raised and a black tattoo became visible on his left chest. This pattern appeared somewhat familiar to Ye Chuan, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind. This figure was that mysterious and unpredictable as well as powerful Dark Underworld Envoy whom he had seen in the secret room of Third Elder Bai Yanhu. Looking around, among the followers of Bai Yanhu, quite a few such black robed masked men were standing, clearly, that Dark Underworld Envoy had sent them to help Bai Yanhu to help massacre Cloud Mist Sect! ¡°Damn!¡± Ye Chuan gritted his teeth, and retreated quickly. He only had one opportunity, but his surprise attack failed, and it was already too late to attack again, so now he wouldn¡¯t be able to kill Bai Yanhu, instead would suffer his fierce counterattack! Sure enough, before he could retreat to the side of Flame Devil, Bai Yanhu who had woken up rushed forward, and with the phantom of a white tiger behind him, he suddenly accelerated and attacked ferociously. ¡°Brat, you are courting death!¡± Bai Yanhu who had nearly died just now became furious, and used all his energy without reservation in this attack, wanting to directly kill Ye Chuan! Chapter 160: Return of Elder Chapter 160: Return of Elder Third Elder Bai Yanhu¡¯s counterattack came faster than Ye Chuan had expected, and was also ferocious. His absentmindedness really was extremely short, it seems, just after dodging the fatal blow of Ye Chuan, he immediately initiated his fatal attack. The eyes of Ye Chuan suddenly became cold without the slightest bit of emotion, and he continued to retreat. And the instant the palm of Bai Yanhu landed on Ye Chuan, his chest suddenly sunken. Puff! Bai Yanhu¡¯s this palm was ferocious enough to flatten the mountain, but hitting Ye Chuan, he felt as if he had hit the empty air. Ye Chuan let out a muffled groan, and a blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth as he continued to retreat quickly. ¡°What a sly kid, but where are you running?¡± The complexion of Bai Yanhu became cold and as if Ye Chuan¡¯s shadow, he chased after Ye Chuan while continuously attacking to kill him! ¡°Noble son Ye, be careful!¡± Flame Devil rushed forward, then pulling Ye Chuan back with his left hand, his right hand emitted scorching hot flame, and then he ferociously palmed directly confronting with the incoming ferocious attack of Bai Yanhu. An invisible shockwave spread out as if a hurricane, causing dust to rise up all over the sky. After that, Flame Devil with Ye Chuan quickly retreated. Now his complexion became purplish red, and the cracks of his skin became even more obvious and frightening. As for Bai Yanhu, he stood still, but his aura was clearly chaotic. Now, his right palm was bloody, and looking carefully, on the back of his palm, there were many blood bubbles, as if he just reached out his hand into a deep fryer. His entire right palm appeared to be well-cooked. But seeing Flame Devil had rescued Ye Chuan, he wanted to give a chase, however a cyan light suddenly appeared in front of him, as a wave of closed compacted cyan light beams whistled towards him, so he had no choice but to dodge these light beams. The remaining 900+ Evil Eyed Cow Demons simultaneously initiated the attack, so the power of this attack was alarming, therefore, even Bai Yanhu had no choice but have certain misgivings. ¡°Noble son, are you injuries serious?¡± Taking Ye Chuan behind the formation, Flame Devil slightly relaxed. ¡°I am fine, merely I wasn¡¯t able to kill this old dog Bai Yanhu, it¡¯s too bad!¡± Ye Chuan stood, then taking a deep breath, he looked all around, and his complexion sunk more and more. He missed the only chance to kill Bai Yanhu, this old dog, now the situation was getting more and more anything but reassuring. From every place of the sect, rebel forces were rushing over, heavily besieging his group, and among them, there was no lack of powerful experts. Especially the masked helpers send by Dark Underworld Envoy, although they were small in number, only 5 -6, but their cultivation was powerful. Now, not to mention rescuing Zhu Sijia who was tied to the stone pillar, whether his group could break out of this encirclement or not had become a problem. A bit of carelessness could completely annihilate all of them. ¡°What a despicable fellow, if your cultivation was a bit higher, then this lordship might have failed and gotten myself killed. I gave you a way to survive, but you didn¡¯t accept, however its better this way, now this lordship will kill you!¡± Bai Yanhu ferociously stared at Ye Chuan, and thinking about the danger of just a moment ago, he was frightened and also angry with a lingering fear. If it was not for the protection of that masked man, then now the person dead on the ground would have been him. Although he was always alert inwardly, but he had never thought Ye Chuan actually had this kind of technique. No wonder silkpants Jin Hua and his disciple Yi Suo was played to death, and even his trusted subordinate Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun didn¡¯t seem to be his opponent. Bai Yanhu made up his mind and his killing intent flourished, today, he will kill Ye Chuan in order to avoid the trouble in the future. Otherwise, if the backer of Ye Chuan, Dark Raven Demon King, rushed over, then it would be troublesome. In addition to assassin Rain Demon¡¯s reply letter, his experience of Heavenly Dragon Mountain when he went to scout had completely convinced Bai Yanhu that Ye Chuan had secretly gone and sought refuge with Dark Raven Demon God, so he was determined to kill Ye Chuan quickly. The situation suddenly turned grim, and after Flame Devil killed some rebel disciples in front of Cloud Mist Hall, it became somewhat restless. The surprise attack of Ye Chuan didn¡¯t work, instead, he was injured. Flame Devil was also already injured, so with only these 900+ Evil Eyed Cow Demons and disciples with low morale, how could they stop the ferocious as if tiger Bai Yanhu and his rebel forces? ¡°Old dog Bai, you, as a dignified elder not only you didn¡¯t safeguard the sect, instead you take advantage of the time when Great Elder was out to scheme to take over the power of the sect by massacring, severely injured Second Elder, hound Nan Tiandu to death, captured Zhu Sijia, and made blood flow like river within the sacred land of the sect. Doing this, aren¡¯t you afraid of the punishment of ancestors? Aren¡¯t you afraid that after Great Elder return, you and all the traitors will be arrested and put to death by dismembering?¡± Ye Chuan stepped forward bravely, then spoke while secretly scanning the surrounding, moreover, a crackling sound transmitted out from within his body, and under his white war robe, his bone and muscles trembled at an astonishing speed. The grimmer the situation, the calmer Ye Chuan became, and he secretly used a peerless technique which would cause both sides suffer losses. Demonic Constitution Disintegration, this technique inflict severe losses which would be hard to redeem upon oneself in exchange for violent power. After using this technique, regardless of whether he could kill Bai Yanhu or not, his vitality would be greatly injured and he would have to slumber for at least 1000 years, furthermore, even his spirit might suffer injury causing him to lose all the memories of his past life, forgetting all of his past glory. Confronting Bai Yanhu, Ye Chuan was completely ready to risk everything. Average people didn¡¯t notice any difference, but Flame Devil standing behind him quickly notice to some extent. He sensed a power slowly condensing within Ye Chuan¡¯s body that could destroy everything. That power made him tremble, and he felt that it could destroy all the experts on the scene including Ye Chuan himself, destroying him in both body and spirit. ¡°Noble son¡­¡­¡± Flame Devil was shocked in his heart, but when he spoke, Ye Chuan waved his hand, signaling him to stop. ¡°Hahaha, Great Elder? Who is Da Qin King? After going to the capital, whether he could return alive or not isn¡¯t a problem, he will be unable to protect himself. Even if he returned alive, with only himself, when the overall situation is already set, what can he do, does he have the ability to rewrite the cosmos?¡± Bai Yanhu coldly smiled and with even more ferocious expression, he said: ¡°Boy, don¡¯t have a wishful thinking of stalling for time, obediently stretch your neck to accept the death. You are hoping for Great Elder to return immediately and rescue you all, but seeing his precious granddaughter Zhu Sijia serving me in the bedroom, I¡¯m afraid that he would be submissive to this lordship. Moreover, forcing him to see how this lordship takes liberties with his precious granddaughter, it would be fun, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Imagining the return of Great Elder Zhu Guohong, where he was forced to helplessly looking at the changes within the sect and also helplessly look at his precious granddaughter swaying and struggling in his bosom, Bai Yanhu couldn¡¯t help but roar with laughter. That day, he had been waiting for a very long time and also enduring for a very long time. Now, that day was about to arrive! ¡°Dirty Swine!¡± Ye Chuan fixedly stared at shameless Bai Yanhu, and the crackling sound became more and more intense. In the three Heaven Swallowing Talismans, cracks began to appear, he wanted to burst them open in exchange for monstrous power. The eyes of Bai Yanhu flashed and he seemed to have a feeling in his heart, but before he could observe carefully, a trusted aide suddenly flew over from the bottom of the mountain, ¡°Reporting¡­¡­, Great Elder is back¡­¡­, he returned!¡± What? Great Elder Zhu Guohong seriously returned at this critical juncture? On the top of the mountain, everybody was shocked, followed by Ye Chuan, Flame Devil and others becoming overjoyed. They cheered loudly and their morale rose. As for rebel forces, they shivered, and the complexion of Bai Yanhu also became pale, and his heart became heavy. Great Zhu Guohong had guarded the sect for many years, so his prestige was far higher than Second Elder Nangong Ren, and his cultivation was also superior. If he really started killing to the top, then this situation which he had barely stabilized with great difficulty would definitely collapse! Chapter 161: Extreme joy begets sorrow Chapter 161: Extreme joy begets sorrow The complexion of Bai Yanhu became gloomy and tense, and his gaze became more and more sinister looking towards Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan had just called out the name of Great Elder Zhu Guohong and in a blink of an eye, Great Elder really returned as Ye Chuan had said. Could it be that this brat truly has crow¡¯s beak? Cannot stay, he absolutely cannot stay here any longer! The gaze of Bai Yanhu glimmered, hesitating whether to recklessly rush forward and kill Ye Chuan or not. With the protection of Flame Devil, if he wanted to forcibly kill Ye Chuan, then he definitely had to pay a big price. But, the benefit of killing Ye Chuan was also obvious, not only he could get rid of Ye Chuan, this threat, he could also stabilize the morale of his troops, calming down the terrified disciples of his side, then immediately take care of the exhausted Great Elder. ¡°Great Elder¡­¡­, Great Elder, he¡­¡­¡± The trusted aid slightly hesitated, then whispered something in the ear of Bai Yanhu. The eyes of Bai Yanhu, who had gloomy complexion and had his mind weighted heavily, suddenly shone, ¡°Really?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the truth, Third Elder, no, Your Excellency Sect Master, you can look personally to confirm.¡± The trusted aide replied. He was somewhat unaccustomed to address Bai Yanhu as Sect Master, as he usually used to call him Third Elder. ¡°Good, bring him up, hahaha, hahahaha!¡± Bai Yanhu roared with laughter, and excitedly looking towards Ye Chuan standing in the middle of Evil Eyed Cow Demons, he said, ¡°I am destined, even heaven wants me to become Sect Master of Cloud Mist Sect, hahahaha. Brat, weren¡¯t you saying Great Elder will arrest us and put to death by dismembering after he returns? Didn¡¯t you say Great Elder is very powerful? And didn¡¯t you say I have to beg for mercy? Great Elder who oversaw sect for many years and who would arose fear just by his thoughts, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Bai Yanhu who had schemed to seize power creating the bloodbath in the sect was now laughing wantonly. The heart of Ye Chuan sunk, and became heavier and heavier. He didn¡¯t know what exactly was going on, but seeing the reaction of Bai Yanhu, he knew that something had gone wrong, something must have definitely happened to Great Elder. Sure enough, not long after, a group of rebel forces hurriedly came over carrying a person on the stretcher. The stretcher was covered with a bloody war robe. Lifting up the war robe and looking, they saw an old man with a head full of white hair lying on the stretcher. He had tall and big stature, and was none other than Great Elder Zhu Guohong who shook Cloud Mist Mountain Range in former days with his might. It was hard to tell if his aura really exists, and although he hadn¡¯t died completely, but he was already on the verge of death without consciousness. The heart of Ye Chuan throbbed, and as for Zhu Sijia tied to a stone pillar, she instantly lost her consciousness. Bai Yanhu who had massacred the sect however roared with laughter, ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, old man, serves you right, serves you right, hahahaha¡­¡­, open your eyes and see clearly, it is not I, Bai Yanhu seized the power, but Heaven has destined to make me the Sect Master. Not surrendering is defying the Heaven¡¯s will, and is destined to die in the cruelest death!¡± Bai Yanhu pointed towards the sky, and with another hand, he patted his chest while laughing loudly in high-spirit. Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Sect Master Yun Feiwu hadn¡¯t return for many years, even to the extent that the younger generation disciples had already forgotten about his existence. Among the five elders, Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder were already bought secretly by Bai Yanhu, and now, with Second Elder Nangong Ren turning into a cripple, and Great Elder Zhu Guohong being unconscious suffering serious injuries, there was practically no one that could shake the position of Bai Yanhu. The only remaining person that might be able to threaten him was only Ye Chuan alone. The disciples who had followed after Flame Devil from the rear mountain became restless, some people still held their sword preparing to die than to surrender, but even more people were dejected even to the extent that some people threw down their swords and surrendered to Bai Yanhu. When Bai Yanhu had massacred in the sect, many disciples resisted, as they had hope in Great Elder Zhu Guohong who had gone to the capital. They were prepared to resist tenaciously, thinking that when Great Elder Zhu Guohong returned from the capital, he would take back the sect. Although Big Disciple Ye Chuan had recently gained fame, but his qualification and cultivation were far from being sufficient, unable to take the leading role. And seeing the bloody Great Elder in an unconscious state, their will to resist tenaciously was destroyed, as they no longer saw any hope in resisting. ¡°Hahaha, adapting to the circumstance is truly heroic, Ye Chuan, I will again give you the last chance, do you want to surrender or die?¡± Bai Yanhu stepped forward overbearingly, and the encirclement also shrunk, vastly increasing the pressure. A bloody battle might break out at any time. After Ye Chuan and others were killed, this rebellion would end successfully, and there will no longer be anyone to threaten Bai Yanhu. ¡°Old dog, did you harm Great Elder? Did you send someone to kill him on the way?¡± Seeing high-spirited Bai Yanhu, Ye Chuan said in somewhat hoarse voice. ¡°That is not the case, he was already like this when he was discovered beside the transmission formation.¡± Bai Yanhu spoke honestly, and he didn¡¯t complicate the matters, because, now the overall situation was already set to the stone, ¡°I already said long ago, who is Da Qin King? Is he is a good-natured person? Current Cloud Mist Sect isn¡¯t the Cloud Mist Sect of former years, it no longer has the qualification to bargain with others. If you want to revive this sect again, and again step into the ranks of first-rate sects, then it depends on me. Zhu Guohong won¡¯t do, he had taken the position of Great Elder for such a long time, he should have already resigned. Always having the heart of a woman, how could he make this sect strong and prosperous?¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t send people to kill him, but you nevertheless laid the trap for him to go to the capital and meet the Emperor. The sudden destruction of 13 Alchemy Furnaces, wasn¡¯t that your doing? Great Elder and Second Elder, both of them suffered due to your scheme, old dog, can you deny this point?¡± Ye Chuan stared at Bai Yanhu, and the crackling within his body suddenly increased as the preparation of Demonic Disintegration Technique reached the final moment, if this continued, he could activate this technique in exchange for the violent power to behead this old dog, Bai Yanhu. ¡°Today, I will clearly tell you, yes, it¡¯s my doing, what can you do now? Boy, don¡¯t have any wishful thinking, you are screwed. I gave you a chance but you didn¡¯t take, so go and accompany your brother Nan Tiandu of Evil Dragon Abyss! Attack, all together, kill them all for me, don¡¯t leave even a single one alive!¡± The eyes of Bai Yanhu flashed with an ominous glint, and with the sudden eruption of majestic energy fluctuation, he led his troops, rushing towards Ye Chuan. The trusted aids and trusted subordinates under him roared like a wolf and their killing intent soared. But the scene no one had ever expected appeared in front of everyone. The unconscious Great Elder Zhu Guohong who was lying on the stretcher on the verge of death suddenly got up, then violently palmed the chest of Bai Yanhu. Kacha, the ribs of Bai Yanhu was completely broken, and a deep handprint appeared on his chest. Instantly, Bai Yanhu suffered severe injury. ¡°Gagaga, want to kill I, Na Gusi¡¯s master with such little skill, truly is an idiot!¡± Great Elder Zhu Suohong laughed strangely, suddenly turning into another person. He was wearing a black robe, and he was three meters tall with a pair of horns on his head. Moreover, dense demonic aura spread all over in an instant. Ye Chuan had subdued two experts, who were Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. One was stationed inside the sect and another was stationed outside the sect. When Bai Yanhu revolted creating the bloodbath within the sect, Flame Devil led the resisting disciples of Cloud Mist Sect fleeing to the rear mountain, but Horned Demon Na Gusi who was cultivating outside didn¡¯t appear at that time, rather hid looking for a chance. And after hearing Ye Chuan had returned, he took the action. He used Nine Transformation Demonic Technique to disguise as Great Elder Zhu Guohong and deceiving all, he gave a fatal blow to Bai Yanhu. Bai Yanhu who had considered that the entire situation was already set on the stone and was roaring with laughter, in the blink of an eye, tasted extreme joy begets sorrow. ¡°Kill!¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan shone, then uttering a long, loud cry, then he rushed towards severely injured Bai Yanhu, wanting to take this opportunity to kill this old dog in one fell swoop. Chapter 162: Red Beauty Chapter 162: Red Beauty Fierce and swift blade light suddenly shone. Ye Chan as if a wolf and a tiger immediately rushed to the front of Bai Yanhu, and he used blades, wanting to cut open the face of the latter, as well as behead this old dog. After the sudden appearance of Horned Demon Na Gusi and his attack, Ye Chuan quickly gave up the thought of suffering loss together with Bai Yanhu. He no longer continued to use Demonic Disintegration Technique, rather used Inch Blade to attack. Instantly, the strength of 54,000 jin erupted, and his extremely thin blades became all-conquering. First blade, cut open the face of Bai Yanhu; Second blade, cut off half of his ear; Third blade leave behind a bloody mark on the throat of Bai Yanhu, nearly cutting off his throat! ¡­¡­¡­ The offense of Ye Chuan was like a tide, he instantly launched the storm of attacks, merely, although Bai Yanhu was severely injured, Ye Chuan was unable to thoroughly kill him. Suddenly suffering the attack of Horned Demon Na Gusi, Bai Yanhu was severely injured and even was dizzy, but with his rich experience and doughty body, he still was able to react instinctively, avoiding the fatal attacks of Ye Chuan. After avoiding the seventh blade of Ye Chuan, Bai Yanhu immediately retreated back. At this moment, Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi rushed together, unfortunately, it was already too late, the trusted subordinates of Bai Yanhu had already swarmed over to protect the severely injured Bai Yanhu. In particular, those black robed people dispatched by Dark Underworld Envoy, with their powerful cultivation level, they blocked Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi¡¯s attack. And after some collision, the two sides were in a deadlock. In the blink of an eye, the situation changed all of a sudden. The surprise attack of Horned Demon Na Gusi greatly changed the situation. Great Elder still hadn¡¯t returned, moreover, they got the help of an expert, Na Gusi, like this, the original dangerous situation of Ye Chuan and his party suddenly changed, giving people hope and expectation. And conversely, the situation of Bai Yanhu who was barely alive was anything but reassuring, his entire body was dripping with blood and appeared as if he would die soon, which seriously decreased the morale of his troops. The surrounding rebel forces were in a chaos, and they look on this battle with folded arms. In the space of a night, Bai Yanhu had created bloodbath within the sect to seize the power, and many disciples had surrendered to him, appearing Bai Yanhu had already control over the whole situation. But this was just the surface appearance, once he no longer had the prestige, the freshly surrendered disciples would discard him at any time. ¡°Everybody, listen to me, immediately lay down your sword, and let bygones be bygones. The real culprit is only Bai Yanhu. I just want to take the head of this old dog.¡± Ye Chuan carefully looked all around and taking this chance, he persuaded the rebel forces whose morale was unstable, then looking all around, he continued in a loud clear voice, ¡°Bai Yanhu is guilty of very heinous crime, as the sect¡¯s Third Elder, he plotted a rebellion, but the successive generation of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s ancestors didn¡¯t let his plot to succeed. Lay down the sword and let bygones be bygones, moreover, capturing this old dog Bai Yanhu, you all can still make a great contribution to the sect. And when Great Elder returns, I will explain everyone¡¯s contribution for a great reward!¡± ¡°We shouldn¡¯t keep hurting the people of our own side, lay down the swords and let bygones be bygones!¡± ¡°Behead Bai Yanhu, my Cloud Mist Sect is still as bright as sun and moon!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The disciples who had followed Flame Devil from the rear mountain Heavenly Dragon Peak, all began to shout at the top of their voice, and then more and more disciples joined them making their voice louder and louder. The rebel forces were like, you look me, I look you, then slowly, the majority of people laid down their swords. Although they didn¡¯t forsake darkness for light immediately, but at least, they weren¡¯t stubborn, and some even indistinctly surrounded Bai Yanhu and his lackeys. Now, only a hundred or so blind trusted aides and trusted subordinates of Bai Yanhu still remained by his side. ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­¡± Bai Yanhu stood up with the support of his trusted aide, then looking at his power disintegrating quickly, he gritted his teeth, and then he shouted loudly, ¡°Everybody, do not listen to the glib words of this brat Ye Chuan, and don¡¯t get confused by him. Great Elder will never return from the capital, kill Ye Chuan and Cloud Mist Sect will be ours to rule. Whoever cut off his head, I will bestow him the position of new Big Disciple, moreover, he can also freely choose a technique and a treasure from the sect¡¯s treasury. I will absolutely not break my promise!¡± Bai Yanhu was anxious, he didn¡¯t have time to treat his injury, he immediately stepped forward and said. If his troops were bewitched by Ye Chuan, then all his efforts would be wasted. In his heart, he greatly hated Ye Chuan, if he had known this would happen earlier, then he would have killed the instant he met him, even if he had to pay a great price. ¡°Old dog, are you still trying to bite randomly like a mad dog? Do you truly think that you are an undying immortal? My blades are coated with very hyper-toxic Red Beauty, and now, aren¡¯t you feeling itchy on your wound? Moreover, your skin is also getting red, at most, after one hour, you will kick the bucket. Even though you are already screwed, you are still having a wishful thinking of becoming a Sect master, heh heh, truly a great joke.¡± Ye Chuan calmly said with a cold smile while looking at Bai Yanhu. Everyone was shocked hearing these words, even the trusted subordinates beside Bai Yanhu were similarly shocked. They were somewhat afraid and had complex half believing, half doubting expression. They didn¡¯t know whether Bai Yanhu was feeling itchy or not, but they could see that his skin was truly red as if he was about to bleed out from his every pore. He appeared to be poisoned. Ever since ancient times, Cloud Mist Sect was famous for alchemy, the disciples also refined antidotes, and they also refined many kinds of poison too, so many of them had heard about this Red Beauty. According to the legend, Red Beauty was a kind of fatal hyper-toxic poison. After being poisoned by this poison, the skin of poisoned person would turn red as if his face was glowing with health, but after a little while, the skin would turn black from red, and the poisoned person would die. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t up to much, but as sect¡¯s Big Disciple, he might have made a contact with Red Beauty. If what he said was the truth, then the consequences would be serious. If Bai Yanhu were to die, then as if monkeys scattering after the tree collapsed, everything would be lost irrevocably for these trusted aides and subordinates. ¡°Nonsense, this brat is talking nonsense, I am not poisoned, this¡­¡­, this is only¡­¡­¡± Bai Yanhu was out of breath, and his skin was red, not because he was poisoned rather that attack of Horned Demon Na Gusi was too ruthless, which broke his ribs as well as injured his internal organs. It was because of that blow it appeared as if he was able to bleed from all of his pores. Bai Yanhu understood what was going on, but because of the severe injury as well as his fury, before he finished speaking, he vomited a mouthful of blood, appearing as if the poison was showing the effect and it was about to get out of control. And this only made the matters worse, the followers clustering around him became even more restless, instantly, let alone just surrendered rebel forces, even his trusted subordinates who had followed him for many years began to have thoughts to retreat, and their moral plunged down. ¡°Old dog, surrender, I promise I will only destroy your cultivation, and leave your dog¡¯s life.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said with the appearance of having a well-thought-out plan. Clearly, he was fabricating the matter, but when speaking, his tone was flat, which even more caused people to believe him. ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­¡± Bai Yanhu was angry to the extreme, and pointing at Ye Chuan, he wanted to speak, but he vomited a mouthful of blood again. He was greatly angry in his heart, ¡°Ah¡­¡­, brat, you forced me to do this, you forced me to take this last step. Today, I will let you understand what is called the real strategy, let you die convinced!¡± Bai Yanhu suddenly took out a talisman from his bosom, then using a technique, this talisman exploded, emitting red, yellow and green radiance. Shortly afterward, these three radiances condensed together in the air forming a huge bronze cauldron. And from the distant place, quickly a roaring sound resounded, then with killing intent soaring, the ground suddenly trembled. No one knew how many peoples were galloping towards this place. Black Cauldron Sect? Bai Yanhu, this old dog, no need to mention the bloodbath he created within the sect, he had secretly colluded with Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong, arranging the ambush too. Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion suddenly sunk. He wanted to attack and kill Bai Yanhu regardless of anything. But he was already too late, as an extremely vigorous energy fluctuation came over from the foot of the mountain at an unbelievable speed, which suddenly locked on to Ye Chuan, making him unable to move. Bai Yanhu was extremely vicious, he unexpectedly had such trump card! Chapter 163: Don’t compare backer with me Chapter 163: Don¡¯t compare backer with me ¡°Hahaha, congratulation, Sect Master Bai, congratulation for smoothly sitting on the Sect Master throne of Cloud Mist Sect. From now on, Cloud Mist Sect and Black Cauldron Sect are of the same breath and branches, and even our arteries are connected in one vein.¡± A deep and resounding slightly hoarse voice came from halfway up the mountain, and when he had hardly finished speaking, a nearly two meters tall big fellow appeared in front of everyone on the summit of the mountain. This person had tall and sturdy build, his entire rough face filled with a beard, and many experts of Black Cauldron Sect was following after him. He was none other than Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong who was the overlord dominating one side of Cloud Mist Mountain range. Ye Chuan truly hadn¡¯t guessed wrong. ¡°You are flattering me, you are flattering me, there is still a trouble where I need brother Tuoba to make a move, I¡¯m truly ashamed. Hereafter, our two sects are of the same breath and branches, and even our arteries are connected in one vein. Now merging our sects, we will become Cloud Cauldron Sect!¡± Bai Yanhu welcomed Tuoba Xiong with a smiling face and called him ¡®brother¡¯ in public. ¡°Hahaha, we are on the same side, there is no need to be polite. Wait until us brother join our forces to subdue Five Style Sect, then we can formally combine three sects into one, and jointly name it Cloud Cauldron Sect, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiong roared with laughter and was flushed with success. For so many years, he had continuously plotted to become the only overlord of the entire Cloud Mist Mountain range, now, the chance had finally appeared in front of him. Bai Yanhu needed the help of his strength to suppress the opposition and seize the authority of Cloud Mist Sect, in exchange, hereafter Cloud Mist Sect would submit to Black Cauldron Sect, two sects combining into one. Next, with the combined power of two sects, seize Five Style Sect, then it would naturally be easy to become the only overlord of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. At that time, in the spurt of energy, he could establish a dynasty, and after establishing Cloud Mist Country, it would not be difficult to break away from Da Qin Dynasty. Although Da Qin Dynasty was big and powerful, but this was the era where the subordinate warlords were not of the same thoughts. Everywhere around the mainland, the undercurrents were surging, so powerful forces were secretly accumulating power, and Tuoba Xiong was also unwilling to stay quiet. In front of Cloud Mist Hall, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect simultaneously became angry. With the exception of a handful of Bai Yanhu¡¯s trusted subordinates, the overwhelming majority of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples who had surrendered to Bai Yanhu was hearing about this Cloud Cauldron Sect for this first time. What a shameless old dog, let along massacring the sect to seize the power, he even sold the sect for his interest, colluding with Tuoba Xiong, moreover, he wanted to merge together with Black Cauldron Sect, and jointly name it Cloud Cauldron Sect. Ye Chuan was surprised and also angry, he already knew that this old dog Bai Yanhu was sinister and despicable long ago, but in the end, he discovered that he was still underestimating this old dog¡¯s shamelessness. ¡°Ye Chuan, we meet again. I truly have never thought that I, Tuoba Xiong could come here at this Cloud Mist Hall once again.¡± Tuoba Xiong turned around and looking at Ye Chuan, he coldly smiled, looking very hideous. Last time, before the Great Competition of three sects, he had personally honored his presence to understand the exact details of Ye Chuan, and then in the name of the alliance by marriage, he wanted to humiliate Cloud Mist Sect. But, in the end, he courted humiliation to himself, he who was flushed with success when coming had to return humiliated. He was in an inexplicably awkward situation, and had been reduced to a laughing stock. But what about this time? Great Elder Zhu Guohong wasn¡¯t here, the entire Cloud Mist Sect fell into the hand of a villain, what could Ye Chuan do to reverse the situation? Seeing isolated and without help Ye Chuan, Tuoba Xiong was very happy in his heart, simply was indescribably delighted. This time, he will settle old scored and new grievances, if he couldn¡¯t torture Ye Chuan to half dead, then he was not Tuoba Xiong! More and more experts of Black Cauldron Sect appeared in front of the people, as, under the advance order of Bai Yanhu, the entrance of Cloud Mist Sect was already left wide open without any defense at an earlier time, letting the troops of Black Cauldron Sect pass in and out. Among the troops of Black Cauldron Sect, weak and delicate looking Tuoba Xiaoniao was also present, but unlike other disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, she wasn¡¯t aggressive, rather there was some pity in her gaze looking towards Ye Chuan. And as if she knew the inside story, she was unable to bear watching the bad end of Ye Chuan. As for the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect who were standing at Bai Yanhu¡¯s camp, their complexion looked rather complicated. They don¡¯t have any problem with regarding the rebellion of Bai Yanhu to seize the sect¡¯s authority, as this was merely an internal strife, but brazenly submitting to the authority of Black Cauldron Sect, moreover also wanting to change the name into something Cloud Cauldron Sect hereafter, this was too excessive. For so many years, the relationship between Cloud Mist Sect and Black Cauldron Sect had been like a fire and water. The disciples of both sides had continuously fought openly and maneuver covertly, even to the extent that there was a huge debt of blood between them, but now, he suddenly wanted to merge two sects into one, and hereafter call each other brothers, who could do this, and also, who was willing? The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect shared a bitter hatred of the enemy, but facing the pressure of Tuoba Xiong and Bai Yanhu, each and every one of them was forced to keep their resentment to themselves. The troops of Black Cauldron Sect also spread out without a trace, indistinctly surrounding all the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. No matter who, as long as they stand out to oppose, they would definitely suffer the double attack of Bai Yanhu and Tuoba Xiong, dying without a doubt! ¡°Hahaha, did you expect this? Ye Chuan brat, accept your fate, dare to fight with this lordship, you are still too inexperienced.¡± Bai Yanhu roared with laughter, and was enormously proud of his success. So what if he suffered a severe injury? This Cloud Mist Sect will still belong to him, Bai Yanhu. No matter how powerful Ye Chuan was, he could do nothing about it! In order to control Cloud Mist Sect, he had plotted for a very long time, making many plans in succession, even Great Elder and Second Elder were within his calculation, so how could Ye Chuan have the ability to foil his plan? ¡°Yes, I didn¡¯t expect this matter, but I am not the one who is too inexperienced, it¡¯s you two who are too inexperienced. Do you truly think you can do whatever you please just because you two are banding together? Old dog Bai, do you think you have an unshakable backing just because you go and seek refuge with Black Cauldron Sect betraying the sect? Open your dog eyes and look clearly, what is this?¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at Bai Yanhu, then used a technique. Whoosh, a red light flew out from his body, and the temperature at the summit of the mountain suddenly rose rapidly. Then, a cauldron furnace wrapped in flames appeared before the eyes of everyone, and a majestic and ancient aura filled the air. ¡°What is that, Heaven Burning Furnace of Heavenly Yao Sect? Ye Chuan, he¡­¡­, was he truly able to borrow peerless treasure Heaven Burning Furnace from Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± ¡°Impossible, Heaven Burning Furnace that suppresses the fate of Heavenly Yao Sect, how could that be?¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Regardless of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect or the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, all of them hastily retreated in succession while screaming trying dodge the heat wave of Heaven Burning Furnace. Ye Chuan was ordered to go to Heavenly Yao Sect and borrow Heaven Burning Furnace risking his life, this news had already spread far and wide, but no one believed that he would actually succeed this. Moreover, many of them believed that it would be a great fortune of Ye Chuan if he was able to return with his life intact. And after returning from Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan had immediately killed towards Cloud Mist Hall, fighting a bloody battle with rebel forces. Finally, at the last moment, he suddenly revealed Heaven Burning Furnace greatly surprising everyone present. Bai Yanhu had his eyes wide open in disbelief. Going to Heavenly Yao Sect to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, this was just a trap he had prepared to kill Ye Chuan by proxy, but Ye Chuan not only returned unscathed from Heavenly Yao Sect, but also truly brought back Heaven Burning Furnace? Everyone present rubbed their eyes and their heart shook. Compared to Heavenly Yao Sect, what was Black Cauldron Sect? Heavenly Yao Sect however was known as the unequaled sect, there were countless experts within this sect, casually coming out, they could easily sweep away Cloud Mist Sect, Black Cauldron Sect and similar small sects, even Da Qin King didn¡¯t dare to utter the sound in front of them. Ever since ancient times, Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect had the treaty of alliance, and Ye Chuan being able to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace from Heavenly Yao Sect, what did this explain? This explains that although Heavenly Yao Sect considered themselves the best in the world, but they still recognize Cloud Mist Sect as their ally. For Bai Yanhu and Tuoba Xiong, this matter was very serious. Now Ye Chaun was alone and weak but the backer standing behind him however was very scary! Tuoba Xiong who was just flushed with success and was thinking how to torture Ye Chuan to make him feel so much grief that he wished to die, his complexion suddenly became gloomy without any smile. Chapter 164: Ultimately inevitable Chapter 164: Ultimately inevitable ¡°Causally bringing back a fake alchemy furnace, and you are saying it is Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Heaven Burning Furnace, heh heh, brat, do you think all of us are idiots? Go on, kill him for me!¡± Bai Yanhu narrowed his eyes maliciously staring at Ye Chuan, then he gave a signal to a trusted subordinate standing beside him. And the latter stepped forward bravely, rushing towards Ye Chuan. As soon as he opened the mouth, Bai Yanhu claimed that the Heaven Burning Furnace in the hand of Ye Chuan was a fake, befuddling the public opinion. The old fox is still the old fox, very treacherous and sinister! ¡°Kill!¡± The trusted subordinate of Bai Yanhu shouted loudly, and he rushed faster and faster, moreover, with gleaming sword in his hand, his killing intent soared. This person was a Rank 3 Xiushi elite. He was tall and big, and his muscles were also as hard as stone. He had always been good at close combat. Although Ye Chuan was outstanding, but he after all was merely Rank 2 Xiushi, so he thought that in a one-on-one battle against Ye Chuan, he could easily defeat him! ¡°Gagaga, noble son, let me take care of him!¡± Horned Demon Na Gusi bowed to Ye Chuan asking for the permission. After disguising as Great Elder and inflicting heavy injury on Bai Yanhu, he was continuously waiting for the opportune moment to go into action. Unfortunately, the defense of Bai Yanhu¡¯s trusted subordinates was tight, and he didn¡¯t get any opportunity to attack him again. ¡°No, both of you, step back, I will handle this myself.¡± Ye Chuan calmly said, then opening his right hand, he lifted up heavy Heaven Burning Furnace. The trusted subordinate of Bai Yanhu got closer and closer, and just when he was about to brandish the sword in his hand with a ferocious face, Ye Chuan finally made a move, using a technique on Heaven Burning Furnace. Hula! Heaven Burning Furnace spout flames, and the flames instantly soared illuminating more than half of the sky. The fellow who was rushing forward ferociously was greatly surprised, he immediately stopped, and he involuntarily felt strong ill at ease in his heart. But just when he was about to turn around and retreat, a fire snake flew out from inside Heaven Burning Furnace which wrapped around him and then pulled him into Heaven Burning Furnace. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± A mournful scream can from inside Heaven Burning Furnace, then, a black smoke curled upwards. After that, quietly, Heaven Burning Furnace with flames soaring from it gradually returned to its previous state. Is this the power of Heaven Burning Furnace? On the top of the mountain, no matter the people of Cloud Mist Sect or Black Cauldron Sect, all without exception were greatly surprised, and a dread appeared on their face. Even standing one kilometer far away from Heaven Burning Furnace, they could still feel a series of heat waves directly in their face, and even the ground was boiling hot. If they were to enter this Heaven Burning Furnace which was wrapped with flames, then perhaps, even the later stage Xiushi realm experts would be burned to ashes both in body and soul without leaving any residue. ¡°Come come come, are there still idiots here? You can come and test whether this is the real Heaven Burning Furnace or not.¡± Ye Chuan coldly laughed looking at rebel forces and the troops of Black Cauldron Sect. In Heavenly Yao Sect, Heaven Burning Furnace was the defining treasure which was suppressing the fate of the sect and was also the core of Mountains and Rivers Formation. But in the hands of Ye Chuan, it revealed its ferocious true features, changing into a great killing weapon. In his previous lifetime, long before Blue Eyed Yao Empress established Heavenly Yao Sect, Heaven Burning Furnace was Ye Chuan¡¯s killing weapon which he used usually. And now, even after millions upon millions of years later, after this alchemy furnace fell into his hand, it demonstrated its true might! Tuoba Xiong licked his lips, and he had some dread looking at Heaven Burning Furnace, but he still resolutely stepped forward, and staring at Ye Chuan, he said in a low voice, ¡°Boy, three sects merging into one is ultimately inevitable, it is useless even if your Great Elder Zhu Guohong was here. Do you think you can seriously stop this mighty torrent? And do you think you alone can stop the army of Cloud Mist Sect and my Black Cauldron Sect?¡± Since Bai Yanhu was perplexed now, Tuoba Xiong began to take the field, wanting to use force. Ye Chuan who had suddenly revealed Heaven Burning Furnace gave them misgivings, not only because of Heaven Burning Furnace in itself but more importantly Heaven Burning Furnace represents Heavenly Yao Sect. If they killed Ye Chuan, there might be no end of trouble for the future, but, an arrow fitted to the bowstring cannot avoid being discharged. ¡°Keep on farting, wiping out your Black Cauldron Sect is ultimately inevitable. You two old dogs, one malevolent, one treacherous, do you two seriously think that colluding together, you can disregard others?¡± Ye Chuan refused to yield an inch and coldly stared at overbearing Tuoba Xiong. ¡°Brother Tuoba, don¡¯t talk with him, directly killing him will quickly settle this matter!¡± Bai Yanhu urged, if he was not injured seriously, then he would have already attacked personally. Originally, he thought that as long as he stretched out his finger, he could annihilate Ye Chuan, thoroughly surpassing Cloud Mist Sect. But now, the matters had already developed outside the proper course, greatly exceeding his expectation and control. Like this, the more this drag on, the more unfavorable it will be for him, as a long delay means trouble. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Tuoba Xiong slightly pondered, then waving his big hand, he personally led the experts of Black Cauldron Sect rushing forward, ¡°Fine, kill, kill this brat with me!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Unify Cloud Mist Mountain range, three sects merge into one!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The disciples of Black Cauldron Sect roared, and rushing from all direction, they completely surrounded Ye Chuan and his group. Bai Yanhu¡¯s complexion was cold, and with his order, the rebelling disciples of Cloud Mist Sect also charged. Even though they were unwilling in their heart, no-one dared to defy him in public. On the summit, a chaotic battle erupted and blood flowed like a river. Several hundred Evil Eyed Cow Demons send out closely compacted cyan radiance, sweeping over the rushing disciples of Black Cauldron Sect. And the loyal disciples of Cloud Mist Sect also did all they could to counterattack. As for Ye Chuan, he used a technique, and Heaven Burning Furnace roared and trembled, then even more terrifying flames erupted out. Sometimes, these flames divided into fire snakes and chaotically danced all around, disrupting the formation of the enemies, and sometimes, they assembled together and fell from the heaven, turning the enemies¡¯ front into a sea of flames. This peerless treasure Heaven Burning Furnace displayed its astonishing power in the hands of Ye Chuan. But Tuoba Xiong and Bai Yanhu were well-prepared, they overwhelmed Ye Chuan and his group with numerical strength, and slowly, the number of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples around Ye Chuan became fewer and fewer. Evil Eyed Cow Demons Legion also suffered heavy losses. And now Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi were also panting. The situation became more and more not too encouraging. ¡°Ye Chuan, quickly stretch your neck and accept your death. Do you truly believe that Heavenly Yao Sect will come to help you? Do you truly think that you still have an unmovable backer now? It¡¯s ultimately inevitable to merge three sects into one, even if people of Heavenly Yao Sect come, they are just courting death, hahaha¡­¡­, go on, kill him for me, go altogether!¡± Bai Yanhu roared with laughter. He personally supervised the operations, forcing the surrendered disciples to step forward. In any case, today, he would kill Ye Chuan to settle old scores and new grievances. Even if Heavenly Yao Sect was standing behind Ye Chuan, he would still kill Ye Chuan, not to mention, until now, he still didn¡¯t believe that that alchemy furnace in Ye Chuan¡¯s hand was the legendary Heaven Burning Furnace. A peerless treasure that suppressed the fate of the sect, if it was him, then would he lent it to someone else? No, absolutely impossible! The rebelling disciples of Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t put forth their strength to attack, but the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect however were becoming more and more courageous, rushing towards Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan and his group quickly fell into predicament straits, and the danger was imminent. At that time, an ice-cold voice suddenly came from the foot of the mountain, ¡°Who said that it was just courting death even if the people of my Heavenly Yao Sect came here? What do you take my Heavenly Yao Sect for?¡± A powerful pressured suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield which was accompanied by ice-cold aura. On the summit, the temperature instantly plunged down, and a layer of ice began to appear on the skin of all the people on the summit. Then looking up, they saw a woman wearing multi-colored war robe flying over from the foot of the mountain. She had indifference expression and was pure as jade and clear as ice as if she was a celestial maiden above the worldly materials. Moreover, on the back of her head, a seven-colored halo could be seen indistinctly. And just sensing her indistinct energy fluctuation, everyone could sense that she was far more powerful than both Tuoba Xiong and Bai Yanhu. Behind her, there was a seven or eight meters tall Kumu warrior. His every step made an earth-shaking rumbling sound. Heavenly Maiden? The eyes of Ye Chuan shone and was very surprised. Originally, he was thinking of wielding Heaven Burning Furnace so as to frighten both Bai Yanhu and Tuoba Xiong with the mighty name of Heavenly Yao Sect. But who would have thought that Heavenly Yao Sect would truly come, moreover, Heavenly Empress and Kumu warrior Tain Ku had come personally! Chapter 165: Spitting blood until no return Chapter 165: Spitting blood until no return ¡°Who are you?¡± Bai Yanhu became gloomy, and seeing Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who had powerful cultivation, he felt restless in his heart. Just now he was urging to hastily kill Ye Chuan and settle this matter quickly, fearing a long delay meant trouble, but outside his expectation, what he feared would happen happened, ¡°Everyone, attack, kill both of them! It is ultimately inevitable for the three sects to become one, kill whoever obstruct this. Do you think any riff-raff can come and declare they are people of Heavenly Yao Sect? When did the hand of Heavenly Yao Sect reach Cloud Mist Mountain Range?¡± Bai Yanhu quickly made the decision and ordered resolutely to kill both Heavenly Maiden and Kumu warrior Tian Ku. Although he was feeling uneasy in his heart, but he didn¡¯t believe that these people were truly the people of Heavenly Yao Sect. Even if they truly were, he didn¡¯t care, even if there was no end of trouble for the future, today, he would kill Ye Chuam! ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Three sects merging into one is ultimately inevitable.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ A group of experts ferociously rushed forward with dense killing intent. Among them, there were trusted subordinates of Bai Yanhu, the helpers dispatched by Dark Underworld Envoy, and the elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect that had surrendered. Confronting Ye Chuan, this sect¡¯s Big Disciple, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were unable to be ruthless, but confronting these two uninvited guests, they didn¡¯t have any misgivings, and they immediately rushed up in a crowd. ¡°Overestimating your capabilities, Tian Ku, kill them all!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia coldly ordered. ¡°Yes!¡± Kumu warrior Tian Ku bowed accepting the order of Heavenly Empress, then his seven-eight meters tall body swelled once again. After that, a long shadow appeared in his palm, which he brandished. Immediately after that, all people under the leadership of Bai Yanhu who were rushing forward with killing intent were sent flying. In the less serious cases, their chest was badly mangled, and in more serious cases, they died on the spot. Two Rank 1 Daoist Master realm masked men dispatched by Dark Underworld Envoy also stopped breathing, as his whip exploded their head. Rank 1 Daoist Master realm experts, they weren¡¯t even able to stop a single move. On the peak, everyone was shocked and Bai Yanhu was even more sweating. After severely injured by Horned Demon Na Gusi, he was barely alive, and the remaining most powerful experts beside him were these two masked men dispatched by Dark Underworld Envoy. But instantly, those two died in a single move. Now, who else could stop this terrifying Kumu warrior? Could it be that they two were really the people of Heavenly Yao Sect? The calf of Bai Yanhu went soft and begun to fear for real. There were many troops of rebel forces and Black Cauldron Sect in front of Cloud Mist Hall, but seeing Heavenly Maiden and Kumu warrior Tian Ku, no one dared to take a single step forward. At this moment, Kumu warrior Tian Ku was motionless, but people didn¡¯t see a long whip in his hand rather there was a commonplace dry twig. With just a dry twig, he was already so powerful, in the end, who are they? After looking carefully, everyone was shocked and felt uneasy in their heart. Tuoba Xiong who had walked unhindered throughout Cloud Mist Mountain range was also feeling uneasy, and his eyes flashed with dread, as he finally spoke, ¡°You¡­, who exactly are you two?¡± ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, let me give a brief introduction, this tall and big person is the current generation expert of Heavenly Yao Sect, Tian Ku, and this is Heavenly Maiden.¡± Ye Chuan stepped forward and answered with a smile. Seeing a move of Kumu warrior Tian Ku, both Bai Yanhu and Tuoba Xiong felt uneasy and their complexion become solemn, but Ye Chuan was secretly relieved, then walking over to Heavenly Maiden, he said, ¡°Zixia girl, welcome to Cloud Mist Sect, how come you personally come here?¡± With the arrival of Heavenly Maiden and Tian Ku, Bai Yanhu and Tuoba Xiong could no longer act wildly, this greatly relaxed Ye Chuan who was facing imminent danger. But at the same time, he was also worried, worried that they had come to criticize violently or to take back Heaven Burning Furnace. Although they were rather unlikely as Heavenly Empress was the one who had personally agreed to lend Heaven Burning Furnace, but he unavoidably was still somewhat worried. ¡°Heavenly Empress possesses vast power, she knew that Cloud Mist Sect has a calamity, so she sent us here.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia took a glance at Ye Chuan, and spoke as if she cherished her words like a gold, moreover, she was unusually cold. In Heavenly Yao Sect, she bitterly hated Ye Chuan, if it was not for her Master Heavenly Empress preventing her, then she would have already killed him personally. Unfortunately, annoying as it was but Heavenly Empress ordered her to take Tain Ku and go to protect this brat, so she could only suppress a belly full of grievances. ¡°Hahaha, so that is the case, thank you, Zixia girl.¡± Ye Chuan laughed, what a sham, helping Cloud Mist Sect was only the pretext, in fact, Heavenly Maiden and Tian Ku had come to protect Heaven Burning Furnace so as to avoid Heaven Burning Furnace falling into the hand of others. With the protection of these two later stage Daoist Master realm experts, what could Bai Yanhu and Tuoba Xiong do? Ye Chuan who was suppressed and worried for a long time finally welcomed the dawn, and he couldn¡¯t help but laugh heartily. While laughing, he reached out his hand and pulled the slender waist of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, ¡°I know, since Heavenly Empress has spoken to betroth Zixia girl to me, she cannot go back on her words. Zixia, you can rest assured, since I have already said that I will take responsibility then I will definitely take responsibility, I am not a casual man.¡± Recalling the final moment inside Heaven Burning Furnace where his few words had made her so angry that her energy had become chaotic, and then, after her entire clothing was burned to ashes, when she jumped out of Heaven Burning Furnace gritting her teeth, he however had caught her bare leg and had a bad smile on his face. And now he was intentionally hugging the slender waist of Heavenly Maiden in public to make Bai Yanhu and Tuoba Xiong misunderstand his relation with heavenly Maiden. ¡°How are you feeling, isn¡¯t it very good?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong ZIxia raised her arched eyebrows, then the energy fluctuation within her body steadily rose and her killing intent also soared. Now her face was ice-cold, but she was boiling hot within her body as if she was about to erupt. Hug then hug, but this brat wasn¡¯t honest, from above the extremely thin gown, he was feeling about her back dimples, Ye Chuan was courting death! Heavenly Maiden was angry, and she had an urged to discard the warning of Heavenly Empress to the back of her head and recklessly beat Ye Chuan to half-death, this anger of Heavenly Maiden shook the entire Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°Misunderstand, this is a misunderstanding. Your Excellency Heavenly Maiden, all of this was the plotting of Bai Yanhu, we Black Cauldron Sect have nothing to do with this, we were also deceived.¡± Tuoba Xiong lost color, then bowing Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia from far away, he turned around and fled in terror. When coming, he excitedly held the good dream of unifying all three sects and call it Cloud Cauldron Sect, but when leaving, he fled tucking his tail between his legs, abandoning even the corpses of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s disciples. The soaring killing intent of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t frighten Ye Chuan, instead frightened Tuoba Xiong witless. Who was Heavenly Maiden? This was the big shot of Heavenly Yao Sect, was the future Heavenly Empress of Heavenly Yao Sect, and was also a person destined to become one of the supreme experts dominating the entire Heavenly Fire Continent in the future! The status and the background of Heavenly Maiden seriously scared Tuoba Xiong. He thought that Ye Chuan was the fox borrowing the tiger¡¯s fierceness and taking a bunch of nonsenses, but outside of his exception, he had truly clung to Heavenly Yao Sect. The Burning Heaven Furnace in his hand was real, clinging to Heavenly Yao Sect was also true, later, after he marries Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, who would dare to disrespect him? And within all Cloud Mist Mountain Range, who will be able to obstruct Cloud Mist Sect from reviving? No need to talk about how terror-stricken Tuoba Xiong was, he was also very heavy-hearted in his heart. Now, of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing was best, he wanted to return hastily and think of a way to counter. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, you cannot go, Your Excellency Sect Master¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiong left and Bai Yanhu was dumbfounded. As for rebel forces around, they were not stupid either, all of them coincidentally retreated far away from Bai Yanhu. This old fellow suddenly became a person in utter isolation. Ultimately inevitable good situation, how did it suddenly become like this? Bai Yanhu who was suddenly opposed by all and deserted by his friends become pale, and looking at Ye Chuan who was holding Heavenly Maiden with a smile, he suddenly felt a sweet taste in his throat and vomited a mouthful of blood. His body shook and collapsed to the ground. He was no longer able to support himself due to the deterioration of his injury. He had yet to sit tightly on the Sect Master position of Cloud Mist Sect, and he had yet to warm the seat, but Bai Yanhu who had plotted and massacred within the sect was pushed to the dead end. This time he was angered so much by Ye Chuan that he vomited a mouthful of blood. Just a moment ago, he was in a high-spirit as well as vigorous, but in an instant, he was utterly isolated, pushed to a hopeless situation. Chapter 166: Release your hand Chapter 166: Release your hand Now, in front of Cloud Mist Hall, silence reigns. Even a fool can see that it was a hopeless situation for Bai Yanhu, and everyone looked at Ye Chuan in surprise. No need to speak about borrowing Heaven Burning Furnace, he even hooked up with Heavenly Maiden who was the future Heavenly Empress. This is the real expert! Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is really the Big Senior Apprentice-Brother! The heart of everyone shook, and now all of them were genuinely convinced with this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan. Now, when the sect was in chaos, Second Elder had changed into a cripple, and Great Elder was also in faraway capital without any news about him, so Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan became fully deserved pillar of the sect. As for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, she became even angrier sensing the gaze of all the people and her energy fluctuation continued to rise along with her flames of fury. Her powerful energy fluctuation made people nervous and restless, and they were also unable to understand the relationship between Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden. ¡°Zixia girl, it would be best for you to not be impulsive.¡± Ye Chuan silently used a technique to put away Heaven Burning Furnace, but still holding the slender waist of Heavenly Maiden, he whispered in her ear, ¡°Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t send you to cause havoc in Cloud Mist Sect, rather to protect Heaven Burning Furnace. If you dare to arbitrarily act foolishly, then the first person to not forgive you will be your master Heavenly Empress. There is only one Heavenly Empress, but as for Heavenly Maiden¡­¡­, if one died, then they still can look for another one to slowly nurture.¡± ¡°Boy, are you threatening me?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was even angrier, ¡°Do you think I cannot kill you now? Heavenly Empress instructed us to ensure the safety of only Heaven Burning Furnace, but not your safety!¡± ¡°I have already refined Heaven Burning Furnace, now, I have already become one with the furnace, so how can you kill me?¡± Ye Chuan coldly said but on the surface, he had smiling appearance, moreover, he hugged her even tighter, then touching the earlobe of Heavenly Empress with the tip of his nose, he gently sniffed her virgin fragrance, and said, ¡°There is a place in Cloud Mist Sect, it is called Evil Dragon Abyss, do you know it? I might not be your opponent, but I still have the ability to jump down Evil Dragon Abyss. At that time, even if Heavenly Empress personally honored Cloud Mist Sect by her presence to save the situation, I would have already disappeared together with Heaven Burning Furnace down Evil Dragon Abyss. Don¡¯t force me to take that step, it¡¯s not advantageous for anyone.¡± In the eyes of others, Heavenly Maiden who held herself aloft was someone who couldn¡¯t be offended and blasphemed, even tyrannical Tuoba Xiong, this kind of ambitious and ruthless character was terror-stricken and fled thinking of Heavenly Maiden¡¯s backer Heavenly Yao Sect, but Ye Chuan however was an exception, he directly threatened Heavenly Empress who was full of killing intent, not taking her seriously. After Tuoba Xiong had fled, Ye Chuan had calmed down, the calmer he was, the better his mind moved, and he had a perfect way to deal with this furious Heavenly Maiden who set herself high above the masses. ¡°You¡­¡­, release me!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia gritted her teeth, then slapped away the claw of Ye Chuan. She was very angry, but she truly didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. Although the words of Ye Chuan were detestable to the extreme, but she was unable to fare up after hearing them. In Heavenly Yao Sect, aloof and refined Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia did whatever she liked, and she even didn¡¯t attach importance to Elder Tain Qing, but in front of her master Heavenly Empress, she didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily. She understood the mood and means of white-haired Heavenly Empress better than anyone else. If she seriously made white-haired Heavenly Empress angry, then she knew that even though she was Heavenly Maiden, she might lose her head. ¡°Zixia, I wasn¡¯t good before, don¡¯t be angry, ah. Come on, if you want to beat me or curse me, I will guarantee you that I will not retort even you curse me, and I will not hit you back even if you beat me, as long as you accompany me tonight to see the stars from Heavenly Dragon Peak. Or, I can take you to neighborhood underground Ghost Market, there are some treasures of overseas, if you want something, I will buy them for you, how is that?¡± Ye Chuan looked at Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was angry in her heart in all smiles, making them look as if they were the affectionate young married couple who were at loggerheads. ¡°Ye¡­¡­Chuan¡­, you¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden nearly went insane, not only was he acting indecently in public, he was still acting in all seriousness, was there someone else who was more shameless than this fellow? In Heavenly Yao Sect, from the youngest to the eldest, whoever sees her, if they were not extremely reverent and respectful, then they were polite, but there was none that dare to treat her like this. Ye Chuan, this brat, not only was he hateful, he was shameless too! Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had an impulse to kill, and the suppressed flames of fury in her heart burned again. ¡°Kill, altogether, kill this brat Ye Chuan for me!¡¯ Bai Yanhu roared with his hoarse voice. Now his complexion was ferocious, but unfortunately, the trusted subordinates he used to have around him in former days had all disappeared without a trace. And the disciples that were contending to render meritorious service in front of him also had already left him. ¡°Old fellow, what did you say?¡± The anger of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia instantly flared up, and her spacious sleeve suddenly shot out, wrapping around the neck of Bai Yanhu, then putting forth her strength, ¡®kacha¡¯ sound resounded as his neck was broken, and then his body heavily collapsed on the ground, and his aura got weaker and weaker. ¡°Ai, Third Elder, now I am talking to Zixia girl, why on earth did you cut in? Didn¡¯t you do all of this just because you want to sit on the seat of Sect Master? But in the end, you didn¡¯t become Sect Master, on the contrary, you didn¡¯t even have a good death. There is not even a single person to pay you the last respect, your only personal disciple Ye Suo has also already died, ai, there is no need for this¡­.¡± Ye Chuan walked over, then looking at Bai Yanhu at his last gasp on the ground, he shook his head with a sympathetic appearance. ¡°You¡­¡­, brat, I will become a ghost and not¡­¡­¡± Bai Yanhu showed the whites of his eyes and before he finished speaking, he died, he died with grievances. Although the neck was broken and he was severely injured, but there was still a leeway to save a Daoist master realm expert. But Ye Chuan didn¡¯t mention about it, and as soon as he opened his mouth, this old fellow simply died from an excess of anger. In order the seize the power of the sect, he had spent countless painstaking efforts and prepared for many years, but in the end, he was defeated in the hands of this young disciple Ye Chuan, and he lost his everything including his life. ¡°Guards, come and take away the corpse of Third Elder, and bury with full honors.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said, ¡°He was heartless, but I cannot do him injustice, regardless of anything, Bai Yanhu was once our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s elder, his contribution and faults are different matters. This internal strife, all was the scheme of Bai Yanhu, as for everyone else, as long as they lay down their sword and surrender, all will be forgiven. As for what to do next, continue to do what you used to do, everything will be as usual!¡± Since the internal strife had just put down, it was unsuitable to get to the bottom of this matter, causing foul wind and rain of blood once again, so he decided to stabilize the situation first. As a Great Sage who had once dominated the entire Wilderness World, Ye Chuan naturally knew what he should do next. ¡°Paying respect to Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, thank you for your kindness of not killing us!¡± ¡­¡­. The disciples who had joined the rebellion threw their swords and knelt on the ground in succession, performing kowtow three times and worship nine times. And as for few trusted subordinates of Bai Yanhu who had killed people like flies and stained their hand with the blood of countless people, although wanted to flee secretly, but seeing the current situation, they were also forced to kneel down. Now that they couldn¡¯t flee, they could only hope that Ye Chuan would keep his promise and be lenient. ¡°Get up, activate the sect¡¯s restrictions, from today onwards, without my permission, no one is allowed to take even a half step outside the sect.¡± Ye Chuan waved his hand and then walking forward in a large stride, he personally untied Zhu Sijia and said, ¡°Jiajia, it¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡¯s fault, I didn¡¯t return in time and make you suffer grievance.¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia rushed into the bosom of Ye Chuan, and tears began to burst out from her red eyes like a broken dam. Recalling the bloodbath of this internal strife, Second Elder Nangong Ren suffering severe injury and downhearted Nan Tiandu jumping down Evil Dragon Abyss, this unruly and shrewish girl of former days was very sad from the bottom of her heart as she shed tears. Her grandfather had went to the capital and there was no information on him, and now, seeing Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan who always made her angry in former days, she felt as if he was the sole family member beside her. ¡°Don¡¯t fear, all have passed, all have passed¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan tightly hugged broken-hearted Zhu Sijia and gently caressing her hair, he patted her back. Not far away, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia snorted seeing this, ¡°Humph, this brat is taking liberties with women again!¡± In front of Cloud Mist Hall, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect cheered, congratulating the rebirth of Cloud Mist Sect. Everyone was excited, only Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was gloomily looking at Ye Chuan in a bad mood, but she still had a whole new level of respect for Ye Chuan¡¯s capability. Ye Chuan unexpectedly smoothened out such shocking chaos with only a few words. He didn¡¯t hotly pursue and fiercely attacked trying to get to the bottom of this matter, this needed not courage and cultivation, rather mental state. If she was in his position, then she might not have stepped down gracefully like Ye Chuan. Besides, for some unknown reason, seeing Ye Chuan was hugging beautiful Zhu Sijia, she felt very unhappy. Holding so tightly in public, did he not know how to the word ¡®shame¡¯? The more Heavenly Maiden look, the unhappier she became, so simply walked to one side and didn¡¯t look at them. But with her brain filled with Ye Chuan¡¯s figure and his shameless behaviors, how could she remain calm? ¡°Can it be that, this¡­¡­, this is emotion calamity stated by master?¡± After a short while, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was lost in her thoughts suddenly woke up with a start, recalling the words Heavenly Empress had said before. Then looking at Ye Chuan, her complexion became even more unsightly. Chapter 167: Scouting Evil Dragon Abyss at night Chapter 167: Scouting Evil Dragon Abyss at night Bai Yanhu died and the overall situation also settled down. This sudden and unexpected internal strife quickly dissipated, and under the command of Ye Chuan, Cloud Mist Sect that suffered heavy losses quickly walked on the right path. But the effect of this internal strife was profound and lasting. Ye Chuan who had put down the internal strife quickly become a mainstay from merely nominal Big Disciple, grasping the real power. In order to make the sect walk on the right path again, Ye Chuan thoroughly incorporated his control over Cloud Mist Sect. With the help of Second Elder Nangong Ren, Ye Chuan promoted Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder who were bought by Bai Yanhu in name but were demoted in fact, and also promoted a large number of younger generation disciples. Needless to say extremely intelligent Zhu Sijia, and even fatty Zhao Dazhi were also flushed with success. Fatty not only became inner disciple fulfilling his wish, he was promoted to Alchemy Hall¡¯s Steward by Ye Chuan, and his task was to help Zhu Sijia in leading Alchemy Hall. As for Protector Yang Tian Kuang, he received even more important position, he was recalled from Mountain Patrolling Hall and become the sect guardian. After this internal strife, Ye Chuan thoroughly cleansed the inside and outside of Cloud Mist Sect. all the disloyal disciples were purged from the sect. People were naturally not reconciled to be a mere figurehead or purged, but confronting Ye Chuan who was very different from the past, they had to resign themselves to fate. Now, with the absence of Great Elder and the death of Third Elder, Ye Chuan was the foremost person not in the name only, but also in reality. Although his cultivation was not up to much, merely was Rank 2 Xiushi, but with Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi who were great expert of Daoist Master realm beside him, coupled with Heavenly Maiden, Tian Ku as well as Heavenly Yao Sect as his backer, he was like the sun at high noon. In a short three days, there was not even a trace of internal strife, on the contrary, each disciple did his duty in all smiles, showing the symptom of reviving. Late at night, when cold wind was blowing the earth, Ye Chuan climbed over the summit of Heavenly Dragon Peak, arriving at Evil Dragon Abyss. Under the bright and clear moonlight, looking at Evil Dragon Abyss seething with blood and qi, he became silent. He had a thought to jump down Evil Dragon Abyss to take a look at what was at the bottom under this dense bloody mist. He wanted to look at what secret was hiding here and also wanted to look for the corpse of Nan Tiandu. But, every time, when he was eager to jump down, Ye Chuan suppressed this impulse. Every time, he stood at the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss, the space between his eyes would twitch nonstop, indicating this place was dangerous. And his instinct told him that if he jumped down without careful consideration, then he might be trapped for millions of years like in God Burial Valley or even his soul might be scattered. After a good while, Ye Chuan sighed and stood motionlessly at the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss. These past few days, he had been continuously sorting out the maters of the sect. Although he had grasped the power of the sect and a hope of revival could be seen, but thinking about this internal strife, he often felt heavy-hearted. Second Elder Nangong Ren himself was optimistic and he spent his life as usual, but each time seeing only his half body, Zhu Sijia would always weep in sorrow, and Ye Chuan also felt rather unhappy. Although Protector Yang Tian Kuang was blind, but with a certain pill, he had a hope to recover. However, unlike him, Second Elder only had half the section of his body, and no matter what kind of pills he used, nothing could help him sprout another pair of legs. The only way that was left for him was to someday breakthrough to Sage realm and reconstruct the body. The appearance of Second Elder Nangong Ren was sorry, but compared to Nan Tiandu, this was nothing. Jumping down Evil Dragon Abyss was no different from dying. There was no possibility of coming out alive. Ever since ancient times, all disciples of Cloud Mist Sect knew this general knowledge. Looking back, although the time Ye Chuan had come into contact with Nan Tiandu was not long, but in that brief contact, Nan Tiandu had left a deep impression on Ye Chuan. Still, he died young in age before reaching the great success in the cultivation of Heaven Shaking Nine Swords, truly was regrettable. Late at night, all the mountain peaks within the sect was very quiet. Disciples were either cultivating or already had entered the dreamland. A soft rustling sound suddenly came from behind Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan turned around and saw a middle-aged man had appeared behind him without his knowledge. He was wearing a cyan colored robe and he was rather very thin. He had the demeanor of a transcendent being. ¡°Seventh Elder?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised, and he quickly bowed and greeted, ¡°Disciple Ye Chuan greets the senior.¡± Now, Ye Chuan was all the more curious about the identity of this cyan robed man. The cyan robed man called himself Seventh Elder, and every time, Ye Chuan saw him only at the rear mountain, this made Ye Chuan guess that even if he wasn¡¯t the senior expert of Cloud Mist Sect, he was definitely someone with countless ties with Cloud Mist Sect. But strangely, he displayed the technique and skill of ancient times Buddhist Sect here at the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss last time. Moreover, even though it had already been a long time he was staying in Cloud Mist Sect, he had never heard about Cloud Mist Sect having a senior who was so proficient in Buddhist Sect¡¯s technique. What was even more surprising was, when Bai Yanhu created the bloodbath within the sect a few days ago, this cyan robed man didn¡¯t appear at all, where did he go at that time? Did he go out by coincidence, or look on without lifting a finger allowing Bai Yanhu to massacre, or was¡­¡­ Ye Chuan frowned, he was neither able to see through the cultivation of this Seventh Elder nor could he gasp his identity. ¡°These past few days, you did a good job.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder was silent for a short while, and he suddenly said. Ye Chuan immediately understood that this cyan robed person talking about the internal strife, and he replied in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I only did what I have to do as the sect¡¯s Big Disciple.¡± ¡°Mmm.¡± The cyan robed man nodded his head and didn¡¯t speak again. Then the silence reigns again. Late at night, the wind grew stronger and stronger and the atmosphere became colder and colder. The blood mist in Evil Dragon Abyss also seemed to get thicker and was churning upward, seemingly wanting to spread out. ¡°Youngster, do you want to jump down from here?¡± After a good while, when Ye Chuan preparing to leave, the cyan robed Seventh Elder suddenly broke the silence. ¡°Yes, I want to take a look at what is at the bottom. My brother jumped down from here, I want to see him in person if he is alive and want to see his corpse if he is dead, whatever happens, I cannot let this matter drop just like this.¡± Ye Chuan answered truthfully. Now, he was all the more unable to see through this cyan robed old man, and also felt as if he trained in legendary Heavenly Eyes which could see through all the secrets. The cyan robed Seventh Elder became silent again for a moment and said faintly, ¡°It might not be a bad idea, since you want to jump, then jump down. Even if you don¡¯t jump now, you jump down someday.¡± ¡°Directly jump down like this?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat stunned. Originally, he thought that this cyan robed Seventh Elder would do his utmost to prevent him from jumping down, advising him to not be impulsive. But who would have thought that, he unexpectedly urged him to jump down. Could it be that he didn¡¯t know the danger of Evil Dragon Abyss? Or to say, the danger of Evil Dragon Abyss was not worth mentioning to him? ¡°Mmm, directly jump down.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder paused for a moment and said faintly, ¡°In the midst of thick bloody mist, there are protruding stones on the cliff at the interval of every 100 meters where you can step. After 999 stone steps, you will reach the bottom of the cliff, and even below that, there is a nine-storey underground world. In every full moon night, before dawn, the strength of the bloody mist is substantially weak and the visibility is also very high.¡± ¡°Seventh Elder, you mean to say now is a perfect time?¡± Ye Chuan looked up towards the moon, and said suddenly, as tonight happened to be the full moon night. Chapter 168: Beneath the abyss Chapter 168: Beneath the abyss ¡°Yes, now, go, I will wait for you here. Remember, you have only two hours, no matter if you find the person or not, before this time limit, you have to return. Moreover, do not enter the underground world beneath the abyss.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder faintly instructed, then sat down cross-legged on the spot, helping Ye Chuan to keep situation well under their control. In the sky, the moon came out from behind the dark cloud, and the dim moonlight of just now suddenly brightened, illuminating the ground. At that time, suddenly an astonishing changed appeared in Evil Dragon Abyss. The churning thick bloody mist suddenly simmered down becoming thinner and thinner. The original bloody mist which was dense like a bloody water now changed into a thin mist. Looking down, although the abyss was still unfathomable, but one could indistinctly see a protruding block 100 meters below where one could step. ¡°Youngster, take this wind chime with you. Evil spirits run amuck under the abyss, don¡¯t entangle with them, if there is any problem, then ring this wind chime as hard as you can and I will know.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder suddenly took out a wind chime from his bosom and gave it to Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan took it and examined it carefully. This was an antique wind chime with many runes engraved on it. But, even with his vast knowledge and experience, he unexpectedly wasn¡¯t able to recognize these runes, merely holding this wind chime in his hand, he could feel an ice-cold feeling in the center of his palm. And with a blow of the cold wind, the wind chime gently moved and made a ¡®dingling¡¯ sound. ¡°Many thanks, senior.¡± Ye Chuan bowed then looking at Evil Dragon Abyss seething with blood and qi, he took a deep breath, then gritting his teeth, he jumped down. And when his body came into contact with bloody mist, Ye Chuan felt a strange sensation. Looking up from within the bloody mist, it appeared as if he was in another world. Above bloody mist was one world and below bloody mist was another completely different world. Here, the wind, temperature and even the air¡¯s moisture was slightly different, Ye Chuan quickly became aware of this. At the same time, his body also felt heavy as if an invisible mountain was suppressing him. Even his energy also indistinctly felt the suppression of an invisible power, and his descending speed became faster and faster. Ye Chuan closed his eyes to sense the bloody mist below the abyss. With the whistling sound of the wind beside his ear, he had a kind of weightlessness feeling. The farther away from the cliff, the more powerful the invisible pressure was. And as if there was layer upon layer of invisible nets, he felt there was layer upon layer of blockades to the world under the abyss. He felt tingling pain, bathing in this bloody mist, he felt as if thousands of ants were crawling on his body, and they wanted to bite through his skin, then tear his muscles and chew his bones. The corrosive capability of bloody mist under the abyss was very amazing, very soon, Ye Chuan felt danger. This was the effect of bloody mist which was very thin, if it was still as thick as bloody water like before, then wouldn¡¯t he have instantly changed into a pool of blood? Ye Chuan was struck dumb with amazement, but in his mind, he was still calculating the distance and seeing his body was about to instantly disappear within bloody mist, he suddenly opened his eyes and firmly landed on the protruding stone, then looking above, he vaguely saw the silhouette of cyan robed Seventh Elder 100 meters away. ¡°Good footwork, now go!¡± The voice of cyan robed Seventh Elder suddenly came. Hearing this voice, it seemed as if it came from under the water. Ye Chuan took a deep breath, then lightly jumped down, continuing to go down. Sure enough, 100 meters away, there was another protruding stone. The more downward he went, the thicker bloody mist become, and the more uncomfortable he felt. But every 100 meters, there was a protruding stone. Ye Chuan carefully examined every protruding stones, but he didn¡¯t see any sign of them being artificial, all of them seemed to be formed naturally. With one protruding stone after other stone, they formed unique stone steps. Even after going several kilometer down, the abyss was still unfathomable but the bloody mist was even denser, and now he felt as if his skin was burning. Let alone an ordinary person, even if an expert with high cultivation was here, then they would begin to panic, then would try to retreat. Ye Chuan however continued to jump down without even batting his eyelid. The stranger Evil Dragon Abyss was, the more it arose his interest. In his previous life, he had had went through 100 times more dangerous ancient ominous domains, cultivating far superior guts and boldness. Today, even if it was dangerous under the abyss, he had decided to take a look at what secret was here. The three Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body were circulating on their own to contend against the invisible pressure of the abyss. Ye Chuan¡¯s speed became faster and faster, and stepping on the stone steps, he went farther and farther away from Heavenly Dragon Peak. Finally, after 999 stone steps, his legs stepped on the ground. Looking up from here, he only saw bright red bloody mist all around and the visibility was very low. And under his foot, there however was layer upon layer of dense bones of the dead. In the past millions of years, unknown numbers of yao beasts and disciples of the sect were buried here. From afar, muffled sounds were coming frequently which resembled the sound of the vibrating of the ground and also as if the roar of some kind of yao beast coming from the deep underground. Underground, there furthermore is nine storey underground world, but where is the entrance? Ye Chuan looked all around, then mustering his courage, he walked forward. Looking all around, he saw that the bones of the dead were piled up like a mountain, and the air was filled with bloody mist with astonishing corroding capability. If ordinary people jump down the Evil Dragon Abyss, then before reaching the ground, they would change into skeletons with all their flesh and blood corroded completely. Even Ye Chuan felt tingling pain at the bottom of the abyss, and he wouldn¡¯t be able to persist here much longer. Under this kind of circumstance, wanting to find the corpse of Nan Tiandu was like fishing for a needle in the ocean. An ice-cold bone piercing wind suddenly came through the bloody mist. Ye Chuan stopped his steps and slightly turned his head. From the direction where the cold wind blew in, he indistinctly heard a strange sound. Following the sound, he walked for a while and a spectacular scene appeared in front of his eyes. On the small plain with dense bones of the dead, the center part had abruptly collapsed revealing a huge rather dark cave. And the ice-cold bone piercing wind was blowing out from inside this cave, making a soul-stirring sound. Each time the wind blew, the bones of the dead around would roll up noisily. Moreover, from the depth of this cave, an aura that could make people shiver was coming out. He wondered what kind of peerless evil spirit was forcibly occupying the lower part of this cave. This, is this the entrance to the first basement? The heart of Ye Chuan shook, although he had already learned that there was the nine-storey underground world under Evil Dragon Abyss from cyan robed Seventh Elder, but personally seeing this magnificent underground entrance, he still couldn¡¯t help but feel apprehensive. This forbidden place where sect¡¯s traitors were banished for the past millions of years was far spectacular and dangerous compared to the imagination of the disciples! Dingling dingling¡­¡­ The wind chime in the hand of Ye Chuan suddenly vibrated automatically giving out ear-piercing loud and clear sound. At that time, a sturdy tail suddenly stretched out from the dark cave and swept towards Ye Chuan. This tail was covered with fine scales, and its surface was glimmering with dim light. It resembled the tail of a dragon and also resemble a huge snake¡¯s snake tail. This tail suddenly swept towards him as if a lashing whip and the power of this tail far surpassed the pressure of both Bai Yanhu and Tuoba Xiong. Ye Chuan immediately jumped back. Chapter 169: Puppet Sect Chapter 169: Puppet Sect There was a peerless evil spirit here and this absolutely was a great ominous land. The complexion of Ye Chuan become strained, and rapidly circulating the three Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he generated power in his tiptoe, retreating back quickly. Whoosh! The tail of unknown evil spirit just scraped past the tip of Ye Chuan¡¯s nose, lashing the ground, and big stones within the radius of 10 meters were cracked open. As for the piles of bones of the dead, even more of them broke. Powerful! Was this hundred thousand or million-year-old yao beast? Ye Chuan turned away without the slightest hesitation, and behind him, a furious roar came from the depth of this dark cave, then that terrifying tail slowly shrunk back. After running away for a good while, the spectacular and terrifying tunnel disappeared among the thick bloodly mist becoming invisible. Only after this, Ye Chuan sighed in relief. Then, reaching out his hand and touching the tip of his nose, his hand was full of blood. Just a moment ago, if his reaction was even a bit slower, then his entire nose would have been crushed. ¡°Evil Dragon Abyss, Evil Dragon Abyss, could it be that there truly is an infinitely powerful ancient dragon imprisoned deep underground of this place, moreover, more than one?¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and was somewhat shocked and also had some expectation. In his previous life, he could conceal the heaven with his hand and showed disdain for Wilderness World, moreover, all the powerful evil spirits or monsters also had no choice but to submit themselves to him. In the Wilderness World, there was nothing he didn¡¯t know. But now, after escaping from God Burial Valley, he discovered this unsolved riddle of Wilderness World, so he was naturally happy. After he was trapped in God Burial Valley for millions upon millions of years, he didn¡¯t know what kinds of changes had occurred in this world when he was absent. According to the legend, ancient dragons were imprisoned in this Evil Dragon Abyss. Their strength was so powerful that it aroused dread but if he could use Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique to tame this kind of dragon, then wouldn¡¯t he immediately become the unrivaled expert in this world? Ye Chuan¡¯s greater interest was triggered by Evil Dragon Abyss. And when he was lost in thought, a crisp sound of something breaking came from under his foot. It seemed he had carelessly stepped on and broke the dry twig, but the feeling that came from under his foot didn¡¯t resemble that. Moreover, he indistinctly heard the laughing voice of a child. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan sobered up, then bending over, he looked, only to indistinctly see a small head which was covered with black hair under his foot. As it turned out, this was the remains of a child. The bloody mist at the bottom of the abyss was very corrosive, but for some unknown reason, although other corpses had already changed into dead bones, but the hair of this child was still not harmed in the slightest. Ye Chuan found this strange and holding this puppet up in the air with its hair, he carefully examined, then he didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. As it turned out, this wasn¡¯t the remains of a child, rather was a small puppet, no wonder it was completely fine even in this bloody mist. The hair of this puppet was black in color, and its eyes were also black but shining. Its nose, ears and mouth were small, and its face was round and chubby, making it appear cute. Its facial features, skin and even that smile, they were very lifelike. He wondered what material was used to make this puppet so as to be able to withstand the corrosion of this bloody mist. ¡°Such a cute puppet doll, I wonder who left it here. Many years ago, a female disciple had violated the rule of the sect, was she banished here with this puppet doll? Or, when a female disciple was passing by here, she fell down accidentally along with this doll?¡± Ye Chuan looked at this puppet doll for a little while and sighed. This small puppet looked cute, clearly was the treasured object of its owner. But now, after many years, its master had already corroded to dead bones by the bloody mist, and disappeared among the numerous dead bones, but this little puppet was still same as before. A child¡¯s laughter abruptly resounded again, and the wind chime rang out again, dingling dingling. Absent-minded Ye Chuan woke up with a start and he suddenly turned around. Behind, there was no one with the exception of bloody mist. Ye Chuan looked all around once again, but he still didn¡¯t find anything, and the sound of wind chime also slowly stopped. After looking around, he only saw empty surroundings without anything unusual. Merely, the bloody mist that filled the air was becoming denser and the tingling pain increased as the pressure he felt also become bigger and bigger. Calculating slowly, it was already nearly two hours, so it was time to leave. ¡°Strange, can it be my misconception?¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and frowned. It might be his misconception when he heard once, but hearing such strange laughter twice in succession, there was something fishy! Ye Chuan took a deep breath and calmed down, then carefully scanned all around to ascertain the situation. After a good while, when he thought to give up looking and prepared to quickly leave this god-forsaken place, a faint light shone before his eyes. But he didn¡¯t move, pretending to not discover anything, he used the corner of his eyes to look all around and was struck dumb with amazement to discover that this light was coming from beside him. That was a blade light! The ice-cold puppet doll still looked cute with that smile, but its little hand already had reached and taken out a three-inch dagger from its bosom at an unknown time.This blade was very small, but its edge was gleaming with incredible sharpness. When suddenly chopped down, perhaps even a heavy suit of armor wouldn¡¯t be able to stop it. This wasn¡¯t a puppet doll, this was an evil spirit, moreover a rare peerless evil spirit! Ye Chuan suddenly had his hair standing on end, and now, that smiling puppet doll instantly appeared sinister to him. It appeared as if a great devil with a sinister smile who hides a dagger behind a smile. How the hell did this puppet doll came here? Did someone threw it into the abyss or it crawled here by itself? Ye Chuan was puzzled, but he had no time to think, as the wind chime on his hand rang out once again, trembling violently. The cute puppet doll with a smile suddenly raised its dagger, and ferociously stabbed towards the stomach of Ye Chuan. The stomach of Ye Chuan suddenly sunken. It was not that Ye Chuan had used a secret technique to dodge, rather it was caused by the fierce wind. Before the dagger of this puppet doll could stab him, just its fierce wind was enough to tear open common armors. Its strength was astonishing. If it was not the case for Ye Chuan having an exceptionally tough physical body, then this fierce wind would have already cut open his stomach. In such close at hand, its strength was comparable to that tail whip of just a moment ago. This attack of puppet doll was very fatal! Let alone Xiushi realm cultivator, even if a Daoist Master realm expert was caught unprepared by this attack, then they would also suffer serious injury, and if the blade was smeared with some kind of hyper-toxin, then this puppet doll would become the most feared assassin in the world. Ye Chuan suddenly swayed dodging the attack of this puppet doll. Although the latter¡¯s attack was strange and sudden, fortunately, he had discovered it timely and had already made the preparation in advance. ¡°Kakaka, youngster, your reaction is fast.¡± The puppet doll looked at Ye Chuan with cold eyes and its voice was hoarse. Although its face looked exquisite and tender, which was loved by all, but it was frighteningly old, truly was an old monster. As soon as it opened its mouth, it had arrogance on account of its seniority, ¡°If you are sensible, then quickly kneel down and recognize this lordship as master, then lead this lordship out of here. Moreover, if you serve this lordship properly, then I, Hei Kui might pass you Puppet Sect¡¯s supreme technique, letting you become a great puppet master of this generation. Otherwise, this lordship will suck out all your blood, letting you change into the resentment ghost of this Evil Dragon Abyss, kakaka¡­¡­¡± A gloomy and cold like night rain and majestic like floodwater ice-cold aura suddenly erupted out from this puppet doll. Then, the surrounding bloody mist seemed to freeze instantly under this pressure, moreover, the temperature instantly plummeted down, seemingly changing this bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss instantly into an ice cave which wouldn¡¯t melt even in a millennium. Chapter 170: Waiting for you for a long time Chapter 170: Waiting for you for a long time Ye Chuan pulled up the hair of puppet, then this puppet doll hanging in the air took out a dagger, and then that puppet doll threatened Ye Chuan. Such strange scene played here at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss. Ye Chuan also found this hard to believe, but soon, he calmed down, then looking at this puppet doll hanging on his hand, he suddenly had a thought. With his current strength, he didn¡¯t have any way enter and explore the underground world under Evil Dragon Abyss, and he also was unable to tame powerful ancient times dragons, but what about this puppet in front of him? After taming this puppet doll, hereafter, if he didn¡¯t find someone not pleasing to his eye, then he could quietly release this kid, and then wouldn¡¯t this puppet doll become the strongest assassin in this world? Moreover, wouldn¡¯t it be impossible to defend well against it? The eyes of Ye Chuan gradually lit up. If it was an average person in the current position of Ye Chuan, then under such intimidation of puppet, he would have already screamed and ran far away from this puppet. Ye Chuan however was different, he continued to hold the hair of this puppet doll. ¡°What, youngster, still not kneeling down and putting this lordship down? Believe or not, this lordship will slay you.¡± The puppet doll was angry and with his eyes turning cold, its blade light flashed, initiating another violent attack. ¡°Old fellow, why are you repeatedly talking about killing me, do you have the ability?¡± Ye Chuan coldly said, then securely nailing his legs on the ground, he completely stretched his left hand, greatly increasing the distance between this puppet doll and himself, moreover, he swayed the puppet doll frequently in the air. The puppet doll was strangely frightening, but Ye Chuan was holding its hair, and now, even if it stretched its little hand, the dagger couldn¡¯t reach Ye Chuan and even if he wanted to stab the left hand of Ye Chuan to forcibly free itself, Ye Chuan would just shake it violently. Instantly, the puppet doll flew into a rage but was utterly helpless. Moreover, due to the shaking of Ye Chuan, it was already feeling dizzy. A living person had finally come down the abyss, so this strange puppet doll decided to make a surprise attack and force Ye Chuan to take him out of this Evil Dragon Abyss. But to his surprise, it was suppressed by Ye Chuan, what a great miscalculation. Moreover, with its hair tightly caught by Ye Chuan, even if it wanted to run away, it couldn¡¯t, and even it exert all of its strength and give all he had, its attack wouldn¡¯t reach Ye Chuan. Now, it was useless even though it had high cultivation. ¡°Well, kid, you win. Put down this lordship and leave, hereafter, we¡¯ll keep out of each other¡¯s affairs.¡± After its attacks failed to reach Ye Chuan several times, this puppet doll was forced to give up. Its face was still plump and had a smile, appearing very cute, no matter what the time was, it had the same appearance, but its eyes however were sinister and ruthless. ¡°That won¡¯t do, this place is too gloomy and too desolate, how can I leave you here by yourself?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and with an evil smile, he imitated the speaking manner of this puppet doll and said: ¡°Rest assured, just recognize me as your master, and drift along with me, as long as you serve me well, whatever you want, whether it is powerful treasure or peerless technique, I will bestow them upon you. I just so happen to be lacking a skilled assassin expert beside me. I have been waiting for you for a long time.¡± ¡°Boy, you are dreaming! The bloody mist of Evil Dragon Abyss is about to revert back to the original state, if you don¡¯t leave now, then you cannot leave again, and then accompanying me, you will be turned into dead bones, kekeke¡­¡­¡±The puppet doll strangely laughed. Suddenly, the ghastly Evil Dragon Abyss had a violent development, a fine and continuously bloody mist came from the underground, and the bloody mist in the air became denser and denser, and its corrosive power also became more and more terrifying. Ye Chuan immediately felt the pressure, and the tingling pain he felt all over his skin became even more violent. Moreover, he felt as if he was about to be torn and melted. And especially, the wound on the tip of his nose, it began to fester rapidly. Bathing in dense bloody mist, the puppet doll was in perfectly good condition, as it had long been accustomed to it. But this bloody mist was dangerous to Ye Chuan, if he waste any more time here, then he would have a bad end like the dead bones under his feet! Being certain of this point, although the puppet doll knew that it could do nothing to Ye Chuan, but it was still fearless, as he knew that it could at least delay Ye Chuan even though it wouldn¡¯t be able to kill him, so it laughed at Ye Chuan. The complexion of Ye Chuan strained, and pondering for a little, he suddenly used a technique to take out Heaven Burning Furnace. The alchemy furnace immediately emitted a flame towards the sky and an intense heat wave spread all around which seemed to evaporate the bloody mist of the air. ¡°Boy, what do you want to do?¡± The puppet doll felt this situation was anything but reassuring, and put forth its strength to sway, but with Ye Chuan tightly catching its hair, no matter how it struggled, it was unable to succeed in escaping. ¡°Nothing, just want to let you taste mutton shish kebab.¡± Ye Chuan coldly answered, ¡°Before I am corroded to dead bones by bloody mist, either obediently give up resisting and let my blood drop enter to tame you, or burn into ashes!¡± Ye Chuan silently used a technique and the flame emitted by Heaven Burning Furnace became even more frightening and the furnace quickly became bright red. And when Ye Chuan threw a sword into it, the sword immediately melted into molten iron. ¡°No¡­¡­, boy, you dare?¡± The puppet doll cried out in alarm and was finally scared. In the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, it was different, it didn¡¯t fear the corrosion of bloody mist, but the flames of Burning Heaven Furnace made it feel unprecedented fear. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t answer, directly threw the puppet doll into Heaven Burning Furnace. Instantly, this strangely sinister and ruthless old evil spirit gave a horrible shriek, and it writhed and tossed about in the flames. It wanted to escape from Heaven Burning Furnace, but the restriction inside firmly pressed him down. This killing weapon that was known as the treasure that suppressed the fate of Heavenly Yao Sect, once entered inside it, unless that person had Sage realm cultivation, no one could forcibly break out of it. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, boy, I recognize you as my master, let me come out, let me come out, ah¡­¡­¡± In an extremely short period of a few breath, the puppet doll couldn¡¯t persist any longer and loudly begged for mercy. Seeing this puppet doll was about to burn into ashes, Ye Chuan immediately pulled it out, then he pressed the space between its eyes, and a drop of blood entered into it. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t utter a word, just used Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique to tame this puppet. Instantly, many memory fragments flowed into his mind, and he thoroughly understood the secrets of this puppet doll. As it turned out, this puppet was originally a normal puppet, but the material used to make this puppet was special which couldn¡¯t be corroded by this bloody mist. No-one knew who abandoned it in Evil Dragon Abyss, but several tens of thousands year ago, the Puppet Sect¡¯s Sect master Hei Kui came here, then cultivating beside Evil Dragon Abyss for several years, he finally comprehend the secret of the fluctuation of bloody mist. And in the full moon night, following the distinctive stone steps, he daringly rushed down. And the result was, not only he didn¡¯t find the legendary treasure, instead was delayed and trapped in the bloody mist. After that, he could do nothing to prevent the corrosion of bloody mist. But at the final moment of his life, he found this puppet doll and had no choice but to use Puppet Sect¡¯s great puppet technique, rebirthing in this puppet doll. After that, he hoped to leave Evil Dragon Abyss someday and once more see the light of the day. This wait lasted for 70,000 years! Whoosh! The speed of the emission of bloody mist from underground suddenly increased, and the bloody mist of the entire Evil Dragon Abyss seethed with excitement, and as if an invisible hand was stirring them up, the bloody mist began to roll about, and the piles of dead bones also began to roll up. Ye Chuan immediately reached out his hand and held the cliff, and in the midst of this bloody mist that was seething with excitement, he felt it was somewhat hard to stand stably. And just after he put away the puppet doll with old evil spirit Hei Kui and Burning Heaven Furnace, an incomparable power descended from the heaven. The air sank, and the dead bones that were rolling about in midair suddenly crashed on the ground. In the bloody mist, the gravity instantly increased by ten times, and the corrosive nature of bloody mist also rose as the result. Chapter 171: Ancient Restriction Chapter 171: Ancient Restriction Ye Chuan felt great pressure as if he was suddenly weighed down by an invisible boulder. The wind became bigger and the mist got denser. From head to tone, a feeling of weakness came, as if under the corrosion of this bloody mist, his bones were softened and he was going to melt into a bloody pool. This was the power of an ancient restriction! Under Evil Dragon Abyss, the bloody mist wasn¡¯t the real terrifying thing, rather this restriction was terrifying. With the powerful suppression of this restriction that couldn¡¯t be shaken off, even if a powerful expert with doughty body came here, under the corrosion of bloody mist from all around, they would certainly die beyond doubt! Ye Chaun was alarmed as he finally knew the terror of Evil Dragon Abyss. For millions of years, among the disciples that had been exiled to Evil Dragon Abyss, some experts might not necessarily not have the capability to resist the corrosion of bloody mist, but with the addition of this ancient restriction¡¯s suppression, they would be at their wit¡¯s end, and none of them could escape, changing into the dead bones in this abyss! ¡°Master, quick, quickly leave this place. The ancient restriction still hasn¡¯t activated completely, if we waste any more time, then it would be too late!¡± The puppet doll¡¯s voice resounded in the mind of Ye Chuan, and a majestic power came pouring in within Ye Chuan. Sensing the changes of Evil Dragon Abyss, the old man Hei Kui possessing the puppet doll urgently said, and regardless of the wastage of its vitality, it gave Ye Chuan a helping hand. After Ye Chuan used Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique to tame him, the life and death of two people had connected, if he died, Ye Chuan will suffer great damage to his vitality; on the contrary, if Ye Chuan died, then what was waiting for him was not freedom, rather his soul will scatter. A series of crackling sound came from within the body of Ye Chuan. Under the suppression of ancient restriction, he felt a great pressure, but little by little, he resisted the pressure. Then circulating three Heaven Swallowing Talismans insanely, he resisted the double suppression of ancient restriction and bloody mist. The churning bloody mist surged even more, and as if the seabed vortex, all the things at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss rolled up and were crushed. And from deep underground, a long-drawn-out melodious sound of bells came. It had an ancient aura as if it had traveled through the time and was coming from the world beyond the highest heaven. When the sound of bells was resounding, the ground began to shake, and from deep underground, a muffled rumbling sound came. Indistinctly, there furthermore was angry roar as well as a mournful and miserable shriek. Hearing it, nine storey underground world appeared to be the legendary purgatory hell. ¡°Run, after nine bells, the ancient restriction will activate completely. After that, even a Sage will also change into a bloody pool that will be refined by this Evil Dragon Abyss, quickly run¡­..¡± Old evil spirit Hei Kui was even more worried and terrified than Ye Chuan, and shouting himself hoarse, he reckless poured his majestic energy into the body of Ye Chuan. After strenuously waiting for ten thousands of years, he finally met Ye Chuan, this big living person in Evil Dragon Abyss, this gave him a hope of escaping. But, now, if Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t leave, then he would be doomed, as his soul would be scattered, and even his mysterious and unpredictable puppet techniques would be powerless! Ah! Ye Chuan gritted his teeth, then looking towards the sky, he roared, then pouring all of his strength on the tip of his legs, he pressed down with all his strength, then he shot upward. Dense bloody mist filled every corner of Evil Dragon Abyss. With the sudden changes, the dense bloody mist had long ago covered everything, now, it was so dark that you cannot see your hand in front of you, let alone the stones steps that were 100 meters away. Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t see anything with his eyes except the thick surging bloody mist, but his superb memory and a keen sense of direction made him know where the stone steps were. After he jumped up, he stepped on the cliff and moved up, and just when he was about to fall due to the pressure of ancient restriction, his left hand¡¯s fingertips caught the 999th stone step. Then putting forth strength on his fingertips, he pulled himself up, stepping on the first stone step. A long-drawn-out sound of bell resounded again. When the lingering sound of the first bell was still resounding in the abyss, the second bell suddenly resounded. This sound was even more sonorous, and the invisible suppression of ancient restriction became double. ¡°There is only seven breath of time left!¡± The voice of old evil spirit Hei Kui resounding in the mind of Ye Chuan. He was incomparably nervous. After being trapped in Evil Dragon Abyss for 70,000 years, he was incomparably familiar with the circumstance here. 70,000 years, full 70,000 years! In this very long time, he had witnessed unknown numbers of genius and experts dying here in Evil Dragon Abyss. He had seen how their doughty body had turned into a blood pool, and how the expert with boundless prospects had their soul scattered. Some people, they were able to leap up to more than 900 stone steps, and merely had one final step left before they were able to escape and be able to see the light of the day once more, but this last one step, they never had the chance to step across. Ye Chuan jumped in succession as if he had a spring in his legs, and at an astonishing speed, he stepped across one stone step after another, going farther and farther away from the bottom of the abyss. If he was unable to escape, then he would die and become the dead bones at the bottom of the Evil Dragon Abyss. Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to possess a puppet like old evil spirit Hei Kui. Ye Chuan was ready to risk everything, withstanding the suppression of ancient restriction and corrosion of bloody mist, he was racing against the time. From top to bottom, when jumping down from the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss, because of gravity and inertia, his speed was very fast; from bottom to top, his speed was even faster, as he had focused all his strength in his legs. Sometimes, he would even leap over several stone steps at one time, dashing upward sparing no effort. The long-drawn-out sound of bells rang in succession pressing him to death. ¡°Only five breathe of time is left!¡± ¡°Quick, only four breathe of time is left!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Old evil spirit Hei Kui inside the space of Cyan Lotus was very scared and on edge, and with the increasing number of the sound of bells, his voice also changed. With the extremely short period of a few breathe, Ye Chuan had to cross over nearly one thousand stone steps and rush out of Evil Dragon Abyss. This was something even he himself might not necessarily accomplish even if he was in his original form, but what about Ye Chuan? With only the cultivation level of Rank 2 Xiushi, could he accomplish it? The old evil spirit Hei Kui continued to hold a trace of hope. He ardently hoped for a miracle to appear. But unfortunately, it was clearly impossible for Ye Chuan, all of his efforts were of no use. When Ye Chuan was just 300 or so stone steps away from the top of Evil Dragon Abyss, the eighth sound of bells resounded. Now, within a final breath of time, Ye Chuan had to step across entire 300 stone steps, this was just a pipe dream! ¡°Ai, boy, you truly cause my death, I have truly never thought that I, Hei Kui will eventually die in Evil Dragon Abyss, after waiting for full 70,000 years, I still had the same ending! I am unwilling, I am unwilling¡­¡­¡± The old evil spirit Hei Kui wailed, he no longer urged Ye Chuan, rather heaven a sigh. Waiting for 70,000 years, he experienced many sufferings and torments, but he still had the same ending, saying this in one word, it was ¡®injustice¡¯! If the puppet was in front of Ye Chuan, then he could have discovered that the puppet doll inside the space Cyan Lotus Lamp still had a smiling face, but his eyes were emitting terrifying green light and his entire body was emitting threatening evil qi. He reached out to his blade and killed one Evil Eyed Cow Demon beside him, and other numerous Evil Eyed Cow Demons were so frightened that they ran far away, even six-winged Golden Cicada hide far away. Only a last breath of time is left, can it be that I, Ye Chuan will die here today? No! The complexion of Ye Chuan strained, and ignoring the complaints of old evil spirit Hei Kui, he looked up to the sky which was covered with layer upon layer of dense bloody mist, then circulating three Heaven Swallowing Talismans, he madly swayed the wind chime in his hand. At the critical juncture, Ye Chuan suddenly recalled the words of mysterious cyan robed Seventh Elder. Dingling, dingling, the rapid sound of wind chime resounded in Evil Dragon Abyss. Chapter 172: Colored Glaze Vajra Hand Chapter 172: Colored Glaze Vajra Hand In every full moon night, during the period from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., a change would appear in the bloody mist of Evil Dragon Abyss, and the might of ancient restriction would also weaken substantially. But the time limit was extremely short two hours. After that period of time, terrifying ancient restriction and bloody mist would reappear rolling on with full force. Ever since ancient times, countless disciples had been banished to this Evil Dragon Abyss, and some of them had unintentionally grasped the changing pattern of bloody mist, still, due to the delay, innumerable experts had died here. There was only a breath time remaining, but Ye Chuan had to surmount three hundred stone steps. This was like a great chasm to current Ye Chuan. And at this final moment, he could only entrust all his hope to this small wind chime. A clear and melodious rapid sound of bell ringing spread throughout the air. Ye Chuan was already short of breath and was already able to smell the aura of death. Little by little, he lost his heart. With terrifying bloody mist seeping into his body, he felt burning pain in his muscles, bones, blood and internal organs. And at that time, Ye Chuan slipped. Like this, not only he wasn¡¯t able to rush upward, he instead fell downward. ¡°Finished, this time, we are truly finished!¡± Inside the space of Cyan Lotus Lamp, the puppet doll possessed by old evil spirit Hei Kui dazed, and his eyes were full of despair. With his very strong cultivation base, even though he was within the space of Cyan Lotus Lamp, he could also sense the circumstance of outside. But, without Ye Chuan summoning him, he didn¡¯t have any means to come out, so he could only look helplessly, waiting for the death. That kind of feeling was even ruthless than a blunt sword cutting the throat, which was sufficient to make people fall apart. Dingling, dingling¡­¡­ Clear and melodious bell ringing sound didn¡¯t dissipate, instead became even louder and clearer. Ye Chuan who had missed his footsteps and fallen down didn¡¯t thoroughly despair like old evil spirit Hei Kui, in this juncture when his life was at stake, he did his utmost to shake the wind chime in his hand. This tenacious originated from his persistent to never give up until the last moment, and also originate from his confidence in the cyan robed Seventh Elder. Ye Chuan had an inexplicable trust in this mysterious cyan robed person. In the middle of the dense bloody mist, suddenly a golden light flashed. Ye Chuan raised his head and saw a big hand descending from the heaven. It was glittering like a hand forged from a pure gold. Looking carefully, beneath golden light was glittering and translucent colored glaze without even a trace of impurity. A golden light outside, colored glazed inside, even when passing through the bloody mist, this hand was neither bound nor corroded in the slightest. Seeing this big hand, Ye Chuan suddenly recalled a long lost technique of Wilderness World, Colored Glaze Vajra Hand. According to the legend, this was also a technique of ancient Buddhist Sect. Moreover, this was a first-rate technique of Buddhist Sect, was the life technique passed down by Colored Glazed Vajra Buddha. The big golden hand was astonishingly fast and quickly grabbed the falling Ye Chuan. Then the whistling sound of wind suddenly resounded beside the ear of Ye Chuan, and instantly, he felt as if his body was about to tear apart due to the high speed. He felt as if he was shuttling back and forth between different spaces, and also like he was riding the clouds and flying on the mist totally oblivious to where he was. His consciousness halted and his mind became a blank space. It felt as if a long time had passed, but again felt as if only an extremely short time of instant had passed. But at this moment, the wind disappeared and that terrifying bloody mist had also disappeared, so Ye Chuan calmed himself down and looked around, only to see that he had already returned to the top of the abyss. At this moment, cyan robed Seventh Elder was still quietly sitting beside Evil Dragon Abyss just like that moment before he had jumped down the Evil Dragon Abyss. His posture and expression hadn¡¯t changed in the slightest. Bong¡­¡­ The ninth bell rang, and a long-drawn-out sound came from Evil Dragon Abyss¡¯s underground world. After that, the entire Evil Dragon Abyss was shrouded by an inexplicable boundless power. Now the people outside wouldn¡¯t dare to rashly rush in and the evil spirits inside also would be able to rush out. The ancient restriction of Evil Dragon Abyss was finally activated completely, he had won the life and death duel that lasted only a breath of time. ¡°Many thanks, Seventh Elder!¡± Ye Chuan bowed in gratitude after he came back to his senses. This cyan robed person was a true expert! Was he half-Sage realm just like white-haired Heavenly Empires, or was an honorable aloof and refined Sage? Ye Chuan secretly sized up this cyan robed man being surprised secretly in his heart. In his previous lifetime, he had seen many Sage realm experts, and seeing them was nothing surprising. But in this lifetime, he didn¡¯t know what kind of earth-shaking matter had occurred, greatly changing this Wilderness World, but the experts of Sage realm were undoubtedly few and rare. ¡°How are you feeling?¡± Cyan robed man asked. ¡°Very good, it¡¯s a great place to explore slowly.¡± Ye Chuan answered. Now, the bloody mist of Evil Dragon Abyss had already reverted back to the old state. The bloody mist was continuously churning and its momentum was even more flourishing, seemingly wanted to come out and completely swallow the entire Cloud Mist Mountain range. It appeared shocking. An average person would be trembling just after escaping from such calamity and would never dare to approach this abyss in his lifetime, but Ye Chuan was in high spirits. Granted that, even when he was able to conceal the heaven with his hand in his previous lifetime, he had not entered many ominous domains that were similar to Evil Dragon Abyss, still, he knew that, even if the danger was very high to enter and explore, but the benefit would also be very big. Now, with his current cultivation of Rank 2 Xiushi, he was unable to cope smoothly and also couldn¡¯t easily take chances, but what about the future? Once he made a breakthrough to the Daoist Master realm or even the later stage of Xiushi realm, which accompanied with several Heaven Swallowing Talismans, that would be different! In Cyan Lotus Lamp, old evil spirit Hei Kui also came back to his senses and he rejoiced, but hearing the reply of Ye Chuan, he snorted disdainfully. He firmly believed that Ye Chuan was spouting nonsense. After narrowly escaping from Evil Dragon Abyss, how could he rush into it again? The old evil spirit Hei Kui didn¡¯t believe but Ye Chuan was indeed speaking the truth. ¡°Oh.¡± The cyan robed man declined to comment. There was neither rebuttal nor surprise, he just indifferently asked: ¡°Did you find your brother¡¯s whereabouts?¡± ¡°Nope, but, as long as I don¡¯t give up, one day, I will find him. Even if Nan Tiandu had already changed into dead bones, his sword still exists there.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, the expedition inside Evil Dragon Abyss of this time, although he escaped narrowly, but he gains were also very big. Not only he now had a preliminary understanding of the circumstance of Evil Dragon Abyss, he unintentionally subdued Hei Kui, this old evil spirit. Hereafter, he had one more expert beside him, moreover this expert was a first-rate expert as well as a first-rate assassin who was hard to guard against. Unfortunately, he had no news of Nan Tiandu who had jumped down Evil Dragon Abyss. Finding his corpse would be like fishing for a needle in the ocean. The cyan robed Seventh Elder remained silent and continued to sit cross-legged beside Evil Dragon Abyss without any sign of the intention to leave. And after a good while, he asked: ¡°Did you see the entrance of first floor?¡± ¡°I saw the entrance at a plain with piles of dead bones.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit shook and he understood that this cyan robed man finally mentioned the main topic. The cyan robed man must have a purpose to behave this way tonight. And after pausing a bit, Ye Chuan continued, ¡°In the vicinity of the entrance, I also encounter a section of unknown yao beast¡¯s tail.¡± ¡°What kind of tail was that?¡± The cyan robed man asked. ¡°It was like a dragon¡¯s tail and also like a snake tail of a huge snake. It was completely covered with fine scales.¡± Ye Chuan replied. The cyan robed man asked again: ¡°That scale, what was its current color?¡± ¡°Black, also might be dark grey, I am unclear as I had only seen a glimpse of it.¡± Ye Chuan replied but he secretly became careful. The cyan robed man didn¡¯t ask what the color of the scale was, rather what the current color of the scale was, there was the addition of the word ¡®current¡¯. In other words, the cyan robed man must have seen that tail stretched out from underworld world. This meant, he had definitely gone down to the bottom of the Evil Dragon Abyss in person. Who exactly was this person who calmed himself to be Seventh Elder? Why was he especially concerned about this place? Could it be that, he was¡­¡­ Ye Chuan secretly size up cyan robed Seventh Elder once again and a thought appeared in his mind. He thought to take an indirect approach to ask, but the cyan robed man didn¡¯t give him a chance. He slowly stood up. ¡°Evil Dragon Abyss is unfathomably dangerous. Your current cultivation is still a bit insufficient, youngster, don¡¯t take chances within a short period of time.¡± The cyan robed man said and walked away, gradually getting further away. ¡°Yes, thank you for the warning, Seventh Elder.¡± Ye Chuan bowed looking at the disappearing back view of cyan robed man, then again looking at the bloody mist seething in Evil Dragon Abyss, he turned away. But before he walked far, he suddenly stopped his step. From behind a somewhat dark rock, an ice-cold woman wearing seven colored war robe walked out. At an unknown time, cold and overbearing Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had already arrived at the vicinity of Evil Dragon Abyss and her frost looks was quite impressive. Chapter 173: This doll is a present for you Chapter 173: This doll is a present for you ¡°Eh, who¡¯s there?¡± Ye Chuan retracted his smile and pretending he hadn¡¯t seen clearly, he took two steps forward, then looking Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s curvy body up and down, he said with a bad smile, ¡°Yo, if this isn¡¯t Zixia girl, and here I was just thinking, when did our sect has such a beautiful junior apprentice-sister. Now, I truly want you to be my junior apprentice-sister, with such a fine figure, shouldn¡¯t¡­¡­¡± Seeing a beautiful girl, other people would stealthily steal a glance just like a thief.But, Ye Chuan was different, he either wouldn¡¯t look or confidentially look openly. The complexion of ice-cold Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia become even more unsightly. In Heavenly Yao Sect, she was aloof and refined who set herself high above the masses, and whoever dared to be so presumptuous in front of her, they would lose their life. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had an impulse to kill someone, but this place wasn¡¯t Heavenly Yao Sect rather was Cloud Mist Sect, was the territory of Ye Chuan, so even though she had some misgivings and was vexed in her heart, she had to endure. She went straight to the point as she didn¡¯t want and also didn¡¯t dare to get entangled with Ye Chuan, ¡°Shut up, Ye Chuan, I want to discuss with you.¡± ¡°Well, we should properly discuss, but as I have said before, I will take responsibility.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had an impulse to flip out. But, Ye Chuan continued: ¡°Come, follow me, there is a cave nearby, it is the most suitable place for us to discuss throughout the night.¡± Ye Chuan began walking appearing natural. Behind, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was so angry that she was gnashing her teeth, but taking a deep breath several times, she suppressed a bellyful of anger and followed Ye Chuan. Two people, one in the front another in the back, walked forward, and not long after, they arrived at a dark cave. Ye Chuan calmly entered this cave. It was so dark inside the cave that you can¡¯t see your hand in front of you, so Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia stopped her steps and after hesitating for a while, she followed behind Ye Chuan. Inside such a dark place, only God knows what Ye Chuan was scheming, in case, he¡­¡­ Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was nervous. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t up to much which was not even worth mentioning in her views, but after coming into contact with him for several times, she was deeply aware of his means. This boy appeared young in age, but when it comes to treacherousness, base and shamelessness, perhaps, even old evil spirits who had lived for several thousand or several ten thousands of years were too inferior to bear comparison. One carelessness and he would have already sold you before you know what was going on. Worried was worried, but who was Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, as if she didn¡¯t have two words ¡®back down¡¯ in her dictionary, she boldly entered the cave. Inside the cave, it was so dark that nothing could be seen. The situation was worse than she had expected. Moreover, Ye Chuan who had entered inside before her was nowhere to be seen as if he had suddenly disappeared into the thin air. ¡°Boy, where are you? Come out!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia panicked, then removing her belt, she gently flicked and that soft belt became straight as if javelin. And the seven colored halo behind her head began to circulate as she became very alert. Chi¡­¡­ A strange sound resounded in the midst of the darkness, next, a dim flame appeared inside the cave. Ye Chuan lit a torch and inserted it in the stone wall. After that, sitting cross-legged on the ground, he patted a slabstone beside him and said with an evil smile, ¡°Zixia girl, don¡¯t be nervous, am I so terrifying? Come come come, sit down, didn¡¯t you say you have a matter to discuss?¡± ¡°Did you poison the cave?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia looked cautious. For some unknown reason, when she saw Ye Chuan was smiling, she became tense. She felt that Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t a young disciple in his late teen rather was an old evil spirit that had lived for millions of years who eats people without spitting out even the bones. Moreover, she felt that he had a well-thought-out plan wherever he was doing something. Other people walk a step and thought of next step, but Ye Chuan walked a step and thought of next ten steps. ¡°Yes, I poisoned, moreover it¡¯s a hyper-toxic, hyper-toxic among lust poison, lust poison among hyper-toxic. Men will go crazy smelling it and women will become idiot smelling it. Your Excellency Heavenly Maiden, do you believe?¡± Ye Chuan appeared calm and at ease and with a smile yet not a smile, he said, ¡°You are noble Heavenly Maiden of Heavenly Yao Sect, but what about me? I am merely an unqualified small young disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, if we were to change our position, do you dare to poison? Besides, even if I truly poison you to unconsciousness, then what else can happen? Could it be that I will really violate you and after the rice is cooked, I will take advantage of the occasion to propose a marriage alliance to Heavenly Empress? Ai, Zixia girl, what kind of person is I, Ye Chuan in your eyes?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t speak, merely snorted. In her eyes, Ye Chuan really was that kind of person. As long as this fellow had sufficient assurance, he would violate her to cook the rice and then will go to purpose a marriage alliance. He absolutely could do such shameless thing. To be able to make a connection with Heavenly Empress and Heavenly Yao Sect, he had no reason to not do this! Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was very cautious. She carefully scanned all around for a while, and only after she confirmed that there was no danger, she walked over and sat cross-legged opposite to Ye Chuan. Then, without any nonsense, she directly came to the point, ¡°Hand over Heaven Burning Furnace, if you have any demand then say directly.¡± In last few days, when Ye Chuan was sorting out the sect, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had always been thinking of a matter, i.e., how to completely sever her ties with Ye Chuan as quickly as possible? Master had ordered, but she truly didn¡¯t want to stay in Cloud Mist Sect, and she also was not reconciled to her so-called emotion calamity being Ye Chuan. As long as she took back Heaven Burning Furnace, she could justify herself to her master Heavenly Empress and she wouldn¡¯t have to stay in Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°This is impossible.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head refused flatly. ¡°I can give you a lot of silvers and also a lot of crystal cores.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia replied. She didn¡¯t even bat her eyelids hearing the answer of Ye Chuan because she had already expected this to be his answer. ¡°Cloud Mist Sect has sufficient crystal cores to use, as for the silvers of the secular world, Zixia girl, do you think it is useful for us cultivators?¡± Ye Chuan refused again. ¡°I can give you a lot of treasures to quickly raise the strength of your Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia looked straight at Ye Chuan wanting to capture every subtle change in his expression, unfortunately, she was disappointed. From the start, Ye Chuan simply wasn¡¯t tempted, so gritting her teeth, she said: ¡°I can pass you a cultivation technique of Heavenly Yao Sect which will help you make a breakthrough to Daoist Master realm quickly, how about this?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was ready to risk everything. Privately passing a cultivation technique of Heavenly Yao Sect was a capital offense as per the rules of Heavenly Yao Sect. But for the sake of leaving Cloud Mist Sect as soon as possible, she was ready to risk everything. Quickly breaking thorough to Daoist Master realm was definitely a big temptation to any young disciple of any sect. Why were all of them cultivating strenuously, wasn¡¯t it just for a powerful strength? Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was very generous with her offer, unfortunately, she was disappointed again. Ye Chuan shook his head and said indifferently: ¡°I don¡¯t need treasures and cultivation techniques, my Cloud Mist Sect has many of them. Even compared to your Heavenly Yao Sect, we have even more and their grades are also even better. As for my cultivation, one day, I will reach Daoist master realm on my own, Zixia girl doesn¡¯t need to worry about it.¡± ¡°Then what do you want?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia stared at Ye Chuan and her complexion wasn¡¯t good, moreover, a trace of killing intent brewed within her as she gradually lost her patience. ¡°I want nothing else, I only want Heaven Burning Furnace. Or, if I say, I want you, then will you believe, Zixia girl?¡± Ye Chuan smiled and secretly using a technique, suddenly a cute puppet doll appeared in his hand and he said, ¡°Here, this doll is a present for you, Zixia girl, do you like it?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t bat an eyelid and summoned the puppet doll he had just tamed. Chapter 174: Sea Demon’s song Chapter 174: Sea Demon¡¯s song Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s beautiful face turned red all of a sudden due to the embarrassment and anger. This doll is a present for you, Ye Chuan¡¯s this sentence, how come hearing it make her feel so uncomfortable, wasn¡¯t this taking a cheap advantage face to face? ¡°This is something I especially send someone to go down the hill and custom-made for you, what, you don¡¯t like it?¡± Ye Chuan sighed, then pushing the puppet doll to the front of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he sincerely said, ¡°Zixia girl, I know what kind of impression you have of me, and I also know that you don¡¯t want to stay in my Cloud Mist Sect, but I truly can do nothing about it, now, Cloud Mist Sect really need Heaven Burning Furnace. You can rest assured, as long as the task is fulfilled, I will immediately return it without delay.¡± ¡°Humph, especially custom-made for me, who will believe?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia snorted, but carefully looking at this plump puppet doll, she truly liked it a bit. This puppet doll was white and tender. It had pitch-black hair, clear bright eyes, small mouth and a plump face with dimples. It appeared very lifelike and cute. Many puppets could be found in the market, but a puppet carved like this was very rare throughout the world. It seems, Ye Chuan really had spent a lot of thoughts. The more Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia looked at it, the more she liked it, and she subconsciously reached out her hand and caressed this puppet doll, moreover, she would pinch from time to time. She loved this feeling, but old evil spirit Hei Kui who possessed this puppet doll however was wailing mournfully without making a sound. In any case, he was once a peerless expert of Puppet Sect who had swept over Wilderness World for a generation. During his lifetime, he had caressed unknown numbers of women, but now, a woman was caressing him in reverse, moreover, Ye Chuan had strictly prohibited to not utter a sound. This feeling was even more unbearable than being trapped in Evil Dragon Abyss for 70,000 years. Finished, he didn¡¯t know how much more grievance and depression he would suffer hereafter. The old evil spirits wanted to cry but had no tears, and he had a premonition that his future was anything but reassuring. If this goes on, then he didn¡¯t know how many time Ye Chuan would deceive him. If he had known this earlier, he would have possessed a yao beast even if the body of this puppet doll was thousand or ten thousand times stronger. All the time being hugged and caressed by women, moreover, he couldn¡¯t utter a sound, when will this come to end?¡± Angry was angry and the grievance was the grievance, but the old evil spirit had no choice but to follow the instruction of Ye Chuan. Taking advantage of the time when Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia wasn¡¯t paying attention, he quietly took out a small bottle from his bosom and sprinkled the medicinal liquid of the bottle to the ground. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was continuously alert against Ye Chuan and she had paid close attention to every act and every move of Ye Chuan in secret, but she however was not alert in the slightest against this cute puppet doll. But who will think that this cute puppet doll was two-faced like that? ¡°It¡¯s not important whether you believe or not, as long as you like it, Zixia girl, you can stay here, and you will slowly like it here, and will also like Cloud Mist Sect. Our Cloud Mist Sect is very free compared to Heavenly Yao Sect with a strict hierarchy.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s appearance was sincere, but in secret, he raised his thumb to the puppet doll. The fact proved that this puppet doll was even more convenient to use compared to the six-winged Golden Cicada. Although the trip of Evil Dragon Abyss was dangerous, but his harvest was also really satisfying. ¡°Humph, want to compare with my Heavenly Yao Sect, your Cloud Mist Sect is still far from being sufficient.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia came back to her senses and with cold complexion, she put down the cute puppet doll and she lowered her voice, ¡°Hand over Heaven Burning Furnace, then I will directly go to the capital and help you kill Da Qin King. Like this, you don¡¯t need to worry about the pressure of Da Qin King¡¯s task, what about that?¡± A bone-chilling killing intent burst out from Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Ye Chuan looked at Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia feeling surprised. Go to the capital and kill Da Qin King! What a big tone and what a dense killing intent! Did she want to change into a peerless assassin from Heavenly Maiden? However, just a Heavenly Maiden might not be able to accomplish this, but what if he added this old evil spirit Hei Kui? Suddenly a scene appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. On the street of capital bustling with activity, the troops of Da Qing King were approaching, and there was a beautiful lady holding a cute puppet doll slowly strolling on the roadside. And the instant the carriage of Da Qin King brush past her, the carriage suddenly toppled over, and an elegant sword flashed in the air¡­¡­ Ye Chuan was also somewhat tempted but after a moment, he tossed away these unrealistic thoughts. To assassinate Da Qin King, daring or not daring was not a problem rather it depended on can or not. Only this heavenly Maiden who had always been absolutely lawless would be so daring. Speaking beautifully, she was resolute, but speaking bluntly, she was careless. Who was Da Qin King? He was the monarch of Da Qin Dynasty, he was the overlord of the dynasty that dominated the Heavenly Fire Continent. No one knows how many soldiers with strange abilities as well as experts were beside him. Even if an entire ordinary sect come out, they might not even able to arrive half a step closer to Da Qin King, so killing him was easier said than done. With the identity of Heavenly Maiden, even if the assassination failed, as long as she exposed her identity, Da Qin King might not necessarily dare to do anything to her unless he had complete certainty that he would be able to deal with Heavenly Yao Sect and white-haired Heavenly Empress. But all other people will certainly die! ¡°What, Ye Chuan, you don¡¯t dare?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia forced an answer staring at Ye Chuan without even blinking her eyes. ¡°Zixia girl must be joking, we are cultivators, how can we easily take part in secular world¡¯s matter, moreover, the assassination of a monarch is a big matter. If there is even a slight mistake when assassinating, then that would lead to major changes. The people will be plunged into an abyss of misery, and also attract a calamity to ourselves.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and said. The eyes of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia glimmered but she didn¡¯t continue to force Ye Chuan for an answer. She hadn¡¯t expected Ye Chuan to have this kind of knowledge, then while pondering, the alae of her nose suddenly moved slightly and she asked, ¡°Eh, what¡¯s this smell?¡± Heavenly Maiden who was thinking of how to make Ye Chuan hand over Heaven Burning Furnace suddenly sensed a trace of a very indistinct unusually sweet smell inside the cave and she suddenly became alert in her heart. But before she could investigate what was going on, a sound of singing came from outside the cave which was accompanied by a subtle rustling sound. It seems someone was walking over. This sound of singing was faintly discernable like it was coming from the highest heaven, and also like a sound which was blown over by the wind from far away. It sounded like a woman¡¯s singing and was also like a resentful wailing of an affectionate woman. It was sonorous and resounding without any interruption, directly infiltrating to the bottom of the heart. Listening carefully, one would involuntarily indulge in it and would subconsciously enter the trance. The gaze of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia slowly became dull and Ye Chuan was also the same. Carefully listening to this song, they subconsciously entered the trance. ¡°Master, be careful, this is a sound attack, a very powerful sound attack, an expert has come!¡± An aged hoarse voice suddenly resounded within the mind of Ye Chuan. The cute puppet doll lying on the ground quietly took out a dagger from its bosom, and his smile on the surface hid his killing intent. At this critical moment, the old evil spirit Hei Kui¡¯s warning woke Ye Chuan. Is that Sea Demon? That¡¯s right, she is finally coming! Ye Chuan woke up with a start and smiled coldly. Then he secretly looked at Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was in a daze, he calmly pretended to be in a daze as well, collapsing intentionally beside Heavenly Maiden. Then quietly opening his eyes, he happen to saw Heavenly Maiden¡¯s beautiful face and looking down, he saw her fair and slender neck, her proud chest and then that ravine which could make gasp for the breath. Amazing, is junior apprentice-sister Zhu Sijia bigger, or this Heavenly Maiden bigger? Suddenly a shameless thought appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan, then, he quickly discarded all the distracting thoughts. Rustle, the sounds of footsteps arrived at the cave, and the aura of the sea spread throughout the air. Chapter 175: This person is too rogue Chapter 175: This person is too rogue The rustling sounds became clearer and clearer. The female sea demon slowly walked in leaving behind moist footprints all the way from outside the cave to the inside. Now, the sound of singing disappeared and the wind also disappeared making this cave very silent. This moment, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was motionlessly lying on the ground with her eyes closed, and her long eyelashes were clearly presented before Ye Chuan. Even though she was overflowing with talent, and even though her cultivation was very high, being caught unprepared, she suddenly lost her consciousness. She had continuously been vigilant against Ye Chuan, but who would have thought that the danger would unexpectedly come from outside the cave, moreover it came so suddenly and strangely. Ye Chuan also collapsed to the ground and remained motionless, but, unlike Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who had truly lost her consciousness, he however was only acting. His acting was so perfect that no one could see any flaw. He had also closed his eyes, but his ears were alertly listening and his divine sense was observing every action of this female sea demon. Female sea demon was very prudent. She stopped ten steps away from them and observed carefully. And after a while, confirming Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden had truly lost their consciousness, she slowly walked over. ¡°Master, do you want me to kill her with one slash?¡± The old evil spirit Hei Kui¡¯s sound resounded in the mind of Ye Chuan and its little hand slowly took out a hidden dagger from his bosom. ¡°Capture her alive without injuring, just look for an opportunity to make a move.¡± Ye Chuan secretly instructed. As early as when he was in Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan was already aware of this female sea demon following him. For the cultivators of this mainland, overseas had always been a mysterious world, so subduing this naturally talented female sea demon was far better than directly killing her. Again looking for another one! This two-faced old evil spirit had already experienced the strong means of Ye Chuan, but at this time, he realized that Ye Chuan was also romantic. Only Heavenly Maiden wasn¡¯t enough, he even wanted to capture this female sea demon of unknown origin, truly wasn¡¯t an average person! Two-faced was two-faced, but he still had to act accordingly. The old evil spirit Hei Kui put away his dagger, and silently waited for the favorable opportunity while silently counting, one step, two steps, three steps¡­¡­ After taking seven steps, when female sea demon was about to squat down and look for Heavenly Dragon Rice seed on the body of Ye Chuan, she suddenly swayed and felt the sky and earth were spinning. The medicinal liquid the old evil spirit had silently sprinkled before on the ground quickly showed its effect. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, female sea demon¡¯s innate skill was hard to guard against, but the scheme of Ye Chuan was even harder to guard against. Female sea demon who was cautious all along accidentally fell into the trap. The reason why Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had collapsed to the ground was, on one hand, because of the sound of singing of this female sea demon and on the other hand, also because of the effect of that medicinal liquid. That wasn¡¯t any ordinary medicinal liquid rather a full bottle of bewitching water. After Ye Chuan refined it, it was practically colorless, odorless and even tasteless. But inside a relatively sealed space, smelling it for enough time, it was even sufficient to knock out an elephant. ¡°Ga ga ga, collapse for me!¡± The old evil spirit Hei Kui laughed and suddenly jumping, he kicked the waist of this female sea demon. Then, the staggering female sea demon screamed and collapsed to the ground. And seeing a puppet doll unexpectedly standing up and had a gloomy gaze with ill intention, the always intelligent female sea demon Lili was dumbstruck on the ground and for the time being, she didn¡¯t know how to react. ¡°Hey, girl, we finally meet. This is the bewitching water I have refined personally. An average person can never smell it even if they want to smell. Inhaling few mouthfuls of this can nourish the skin.¡± Ye Chuan walked to the front of female sea demon and said with an evil smile. Sizing up this female sea demon lying on the ground, he had to say, her figure and her face didn¡¯t lose to any stunning woman of the mainland. Although her skin was not very white, was somewhat chestnut color, but perhaps because she lived in water throughout the year, her skin was exquisite and smooth. Even Zhu Sijia and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia would lose to her in this aspect. ¡°You¡­¡­, you already knew I will come here?¡± Female sea demon came back to her senses and tried to move wanting to get up, but her hands and legs were soft without any strength. And the gaze of Ye Chuan especially terrified her. At overseas, unknown number of powerful loose cultivators including now dead Dark Tree Monarch had coveted her beauty wanting to make her their belonging. And among the men who had seen her true face, all of them had such desire. And now, she had landed on the hand of Ye Chuan, moreover, she couldn¡¯t move and was completely at his mercy, like this, wouldn¡¯t he¡­¡­? Female sea demon who had always been bold behind Ye Chuan now lost color. Now, she could only lie on the ground without any strength to move, exposing her graceful body in front of Ye Chuan just like a helpless little lamb. ¡°Of course, I knew, if I cannot know this much, then how can I be Big Senior Apprentice-Brother? Did you truly believe that nobody knew your whereabouts?¡± Ye Chuan unscrupulously looked at this mature beauty in front of him, and said indifferently, ¡°You have come here looking for Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed, right?¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± The female sea demon Lili was startled and her beautiful face lost even more color, ¡°How do you know about Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed?¡± After that thing was seized, even experienced and knowledgeable Dark Tree Monarch and his clan¡¯s experts weren¡¯t able to discern it, for this reason, Dark Tree Monarch had especially traveled a long way to this mainland with that thing, wanting to find an expert of mainland who could identify what treasure it was. But Ye Chuan, this seemingly young kid, how was he able to recognize this most valuable ancient treasure of Sea Demon clan? ¡°I guessed it, but now it¡¯s confirmed.¡± Ye Chuan smiled evilly, and just when he was about to continue speaking, he felt a killing intent coming from behind. Turning around, he saw Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had already woken up at an unknown time. Unfortunately, although her eyes were open, but she was still under the effect of bewitching water. And after a short time, just like female sea demon, she noticed she had no strength in her hands and legs and wasn¡¯t able to move. ¡°Boy, still not handing over the antidote!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia ferociously glared at Ye Chuan and gnashing her teeth, she said. Now, she hated Ye Chuan, but hated herself even more. She was very careful, still outside her expectation, in the end, she still fell into the trap of Ye Chuan. This kid, he was truly resplendent and hard to guard against! ¡°There is no antidote, even if I have, I wouldn¡¯t give you, continue to lie down.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°You¡­¡­, brat, you are very despicable!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was very angry. She had never before hated a person so much like this. ¡°Ziaxia girl, my temper isn¡¯t good, so don¡¯t be impulsive, otherwise, I cannot guarantee that I won¡¯t be even more despicable. Don¡¯t forget, ever since ancient times, Heavenly Yao Sect and Cloud Mist Sect have the tradition of the alliance by marriage. You say, if I send someone to purpose a marriage alliance to Heavenly Empires, saying you fall in love with me in Cloud Mist Sect, moreover, is going to bear a child, then I wonder if Heavenly Empress will agree to our wedding or not?¡± Ye Chuan pretended to consider the feasibility of the matter. Heavenly Maiden who was so angry that she wanted to kill Ye Chuan immediately closed her mouth, and even female sea demon at one side was badly scared. Now, both exceedingly beautiful women lied motionlessly on the ground and didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily letting Ye Chuan wantonly scan their body. Tsk tsk, both beauties settled down in few words, if he were to lie between them with beauty on both sides, then how wonderful that scene would be¡­¡­ The eyes of two-faced old evil spirit were filled with envy and yearning. He totally forgot that now he was only a puppet doll. With smiling face as before, his eyes scanned the supple and graceful body of these two exceedingly beautiful women. Unfortunately, he wasn¡¯t able to look any longer. He changed into a wisp of cyan light and entered the space of Cyan Lotus Lamp. After that, because of restriction, no need to speak about seeing, even his divine sense wasn¡¯t able to perceive the circumstance of outside. ¡°Tonight, I have two girls accompanying me, I want to calm down a bit.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s tone was flat but had a bad smile on his face. This badly scared two women who couldn¡¯t move. They had a very bad feeling in their heart, they felt that something bad was going to happen to them. In the dead of night, one man two women, what does Ye Chuan want to do?¡± Rogue! This brat is too rogue! Aloof and refined Heavenly Maiden who set herself high above the masses now was incomparably nervous and scared. Chapter 176: Take her in? Chapter 176: Take her in? Inside the cave, it became quiet again. None of them spoke, only the crackling sound produced when the torch was burning the wood resounded. The female sea demon and Heavenly Maiden didn¡¯t dare to utter a sound because they were terrified and nervous, and Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t speak. How to deal with these two women? Imprison them or¡­¡­ Looking at these two stunning women lying on the ground, Ye Chuan also felt somewhat awkward. No need to talk about female sea demon, the key was Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Before, he had secretly made puppet doll sprinkle bewitching water on the ground as the precaution to defend himself in case Heavenly Maiden acted out violently. Heavenly Maiden¡¯s cultivation was very high, so as long as she discussed and leave the cave quickly, the inhaled small amount of bewitching water wouldn¡¯t have much effect on her. But the arrival of female sea demon Lili had completely disrupted his plan. It was not too appropriate to imprison Heavenly Maiden, as he wouldn¡¯t be able to deceive Kumu warrior Tian Ku, but if he let her go and she acted out violently, then who had the capability to stop her? Ye Chuan looked at Heavenly Maiden lying on the ground and was in an awkward predicament. Now, two people were looking face to face with the tip of their noses nearly coming into contact. ¡°You¡­¡­, kid, what do you want to do?¡± Looking at Ye Chuan, Heavenly Maiden was very scared, and even her body trembled slightly. Seeing such appearance of Heavenly Maiden, Ye Chuan suddenly thought, if he released Heavenly Maiden, then he worried that she would act out violently, but what if he grasped an information that could be used against her? Ye Chuan evilly smiled and said, ¡°Zixia girl, in the dead of the night, you say, what do you think I want to do? But, how about this, let¡¯s play a game, I will ask, and you two will answer. Answer correctly, I will kiss you once, and answer incorrectly, I will kiss you twice.¡± ¡°You bastard!¡± ¡°You dare?¡± The female sea demon and Heavenly Maiden shouted in unison. ¡°You first.¡± Ye Chuan turned around and looked at nervous and restless female sea demon and asked: ¡°What is your name?¡± ¡°Hai Lili, Hai of dahai (ocean), li of meili (beautiful).¡± Female sea demon hastily replied. Seeing the bad smile of Ye Chuan, she was very frightened. ¡°Now, it¡¯s your turn.¡± Ye Chuan turned to Heavenly Maiden, and with his gaze wandering about as if he was considering whether to kiss her cheeks or her little lips, he asked: ¡°Zixia girl, how old are you this year?¡± ¡°17.¡± Heavenly Maiden gritted her teeth and answered. She was very angry in her heart but she didn¡¯t dare to not answer and just like female sea demon, she was very frightened and was also very worried that Ye Chuan would really kiss her. ¡°Zixia girl, if I were to release you, will you retaliate?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± ¡°I am a very timid person, can you swear in the name of Heavenly Empress?¡± ¡°Okay, I swear.¡± ¡°Do you any male disciple you like?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Are there any male disciple that like you?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°How many?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± ¡°Answer quickly, or I will kiss you.¡± ¡°There¡­there are many.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The question and answer session of Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden slowly uncovered many secrets of the latter. After speaking out such private secrets, moreover, in front of other, aloof and refined Heavenly Maiden who set herself high above the masses was very embarrassed, but under the pressure of Ye Chuan, she had to speak. Fortunately, Ye Chuan, this bastard just nearly kissed her quite a few times, but ultimately she didn¡¯t let him succeed. Under this unique interrogation, many secrets of female sea demon were also uncovered by Ye Chuan. Dealing with two stunning beauties, he frequently teased them, and unknowingly, Ye Chuan who originally was feeling awkward was rather having fun now. But while he was questioning, he suddenly sensed something and closed his mouth, then looking at the front, he saw that two people had arrived at the cave entrance at an unknown time. One man and one woman, this woman was tall and graceful, and she was carrying a wicker basket in her hand, and the man was plump and short. Zhu Sijia and fatty Zhao Dazhi had arrived outside the cave at an unknown time. ¡°Ye Chuan, you despicable rogue!¡± Zhu Sijia was so angry that she threw the wicker basket on the ground, then turning around, she left. She was going insane due to anger. ¡°Jiajia, Jiajia¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan got up and chased after her, but when he reached the cave entrance, Zhu Sijia had already nowhere to be found. ¡°Ai, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, even I cannot help you this time.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi shook his head and sighed. Then picking up the pastries fallen on the ground, he placed them inside the wicker basket and said, ¡°This time, Jiajia had finally went to the kitchen in person to make these pastries for you and came to deliver overnight, but you are like this. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you broke her heart. Men¡¯s natural deposition is amorous, all love to change, but senior apprentice-brother, shouldn¡¯t you pay attention to exchange time and exchange place? Moreover, what were you thinking, you should have placed someone to stand guard outside the cave, then all would have been fine, ai¡­¡­¡± Fatty was admiring and also lamenting the misfortune of Ye Chuan, but frequently shooting his glance at female sea demon and Heavenly Maiden lying on the ground, he was inwardly drooling in admiration, but on the surface, he pretended to be dead earnest, and the more he spoke, the more he absurd he became. ¡°Damned fatty, don¡¯t speak nonsense?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, with this fatty adding vivid details like this, now, even if he were to jump into the Heavenly Pond, he wouldn¡¯t be able to wash himself clean. But just when he was about to reprimand this fellow, a burst of wind flew past him. Turning around to look, he saw Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had already fled far away leaving behind only her lithe and graceful back view. ¡°Ye Chuan, just wait for me, I will not let this matter drop just like this!¡± The voice of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia came from far away, next, the ancient transmission formation shone. It seems she had activated the ancient transmission formation hastily returning to Heavenly Yao Sect. Expert was after all an expert, the female sea demon was still motionlessly lying on the ground, but Heavenly Maiden had already recovered. And due to the oath she had made just a moment ago, she was unable to attack Ye Chuan, so she quickly left. But, she would never forget this matter just like this, never! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-brother, you got into another trouble, what did you do to them?¡± Fatty became pale and asked Ye Chuan in distress. Ye Chuan even dare to take liberties and blaspheme Heavenly Maiden, how much courage and lust did Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan exactly have? Fatty didn¡¯t know that, but he knew that lascivious activities could lead to bitter consequences. Now that Heavenly Maiden had already left gnashing her teeth, would the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect still keep quiet without making a move to attack? Recalling the might and power of Heavenly Yao Sect, fatty Zhao Dazhi shuddered. Cloud Mist Sect had just experienced an internal strife which greatly damaged the vitality, if Heavenly Yao Sect was to attack at this time, then casually sending a few experts would be enough to subdue Ye Chuan. ¡°Fatty, from today onwards, you are responsible to guard the sect entrance, and you don¡¯t need to return. When the people of Heavenly Yao Sect come, you will be the first to suffer.¡± Ye Chuan instructed, then turning around, he walked back into the cave. It was a good thing that Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia left, now he didn¡¯t need to constantly be alert against her. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Fatty was stunned and was very sad. Returning inside the cave, Ye Chuan quickly walked over to the female sea demon. Now that Heavenly Maiden had left, it was easy to handle the matters. ¡°You¡­¡­, what do you want to do?¡± The female sea demon was so scared that she curled up in a corner. Unlike Heavenly, she hadn¡¯t recovered completely, but gradually, she could feel strength returning in her hands and legs. But seeing Ye Chuan was coming over, and seeing there were only herself and Ye Chuan inside the cave, she turned pale. ¡°I want to send you to the utopia-like good place, and together with that puppet doll, hereafter, serve me well.¡± Ye Chuan forced out a drop of essence blood, then dripping it between the eyebrows of the female sea demon, he used Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique. After that with a flash of cyan light, this uncommon female sea demon with innate skill disappeared as he took her inside the space of Cyan Lotus Lamp. Chapter 177: Too beautiful to be unimaginable Chapter 177: Too beautiful to be unimaginable A trace of light cyan light wandered about the body of Ye Chuan. And the female sea demon Hai Lili had already disappeared as she was taken into the space of Cyan Lotus Lamp. So, now, there was only Ye Chuan inside the cave, but Ye Chuan stood motionless without any intention to leave. The instant he tamed female sea demon, many memory fragments flowed into his brain, and an inexplicable energy circulated a few laps within his body, then slowly settled down at his dantian changing into a qi vortex, vaguely showing the sign of the formation of fourth Heaven Swallowing Talisman. The energy fluctuation within Ye Chuan steadily increased. In the sky of Heavenly Dragon Peak, a huge energy vortex quickly emerged, attracting worldly spiritual-qi of the surroundings within the radius of ten li. Shortly afterwards, the limit increased to 20 li, 30 li. The bloody mist of Evil Dragon Abyss seethed and wanted to gush out seeming also wanting to engulf Ye Chuan. The qi vortex of his dantian rapidly rotated and began to condense more and more, moreover as if was starving, he swallowed the worldly spiritual qi of the surrounding. Ye Chuan knew that this was a fortune so he sat down cross-legged on the spot to cultivate in seclusion. Outside the cave, fatty Zhao Dazhi who was feeling aggrieved quickly responded. He immediately returned to notify and very soon, Flame Devil Yi Yangzi and Horned Demon Na Gusi came here together to personally guard the cave. Kumu warrior also came and sensing the energy fluctuation within the body of Ye Chuan, his complexion changed. The cultivation of Ye Chuan was low, but no matter whether his physical strength or his energy fluctuation, he was far stronger compared to the cultivator of the same realm. In his view, even the later stage Xiushi realm elites were unlikely to be as strong as Ye Chuan. Every Kumu warrior was innately powerful, but Tian Ku admits that when he was in Xiushi realm in those years, he wasn¡¯t as strong as current Ye Chuan. ¡°This generation¡¯s Big Disciple is really outstanding, can it be that Cloud Mist Sect will really rejuvenate in this generation?¡± Kumu warrior Tian Ku muttered to himself. Unlike wilful and proud Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he had always been conforming to the norms of society and practice what he preaches, moreover, strictly follow every command of white-haired Heavenly Empress. Heavenly Maiden left but he continued to stay. Unless he received the command of Heavenly Empress, he will never arbitrarily leave Cloud Mist Sect. Originally, like numerous disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, he also looked down upon steadily deteriorating Cloud Mist Sect in his heart. But these past few days, he slowly experienced the details of this ancient sect. This very ancient sect was like a majestic mountain that had experienced the loss of nutrient over the long years, gradually withering up and bare without even a little green. But, once a drop of nourishing dew fell from the heaven, its vitality would immediately reignite. It seems Ye Chuan was that drop of nourishing dew! The sudden change in worldly spiritual power and the sudden seclusion cultivation of Ye Chuan quickly alerted every disciple of the sect. And everyone looked forward to the future. Nowadays, despite the internal strife of Cloud Mist Sect already suppressed, many wounds had yet to heal. Many were still feeling pressure due to the task of Da Qin King as well as Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect eyeing covetously. Second Elder Nangong Ren had become a cripple and Great Elder Zhu Guohong had yet to return, so there was an urgent need for a top-notch expert in Cloud Mist Sect to assume the command. Ye Chuan had both courage and cunning and had already displayed his forte, but the only downside was his cultivation was a bit insufficient. With Ye Chuan¡¯s stratagem, if he were to breakthrough to Daoist Master realm in one stroke then it would be logical to officially assume the position of Sect Master. When that moment comes, the disciples of the sect would also have a true pillar to feel proud and elated! Three days quickly passed but there was no movement inside the cave. After half-a-month, the cave was still very quiet. The energy vortex in the sky of Heavenly Dragon Peak became bigger and bigger which not only attracted the worldly spiritual qi of entire Cloud Mist Sect, even Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were affected by this energy vortex. After that, outside Cloud Mist Sect, many spies of these two sects began to appear. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were full of expectation and also began to worry. After full three months, the seclusion of Ye Chuan ended, and he walked out of the cave. But disappointing everybody, he had only broken through to Rank 3 Xiushi. After initiating such big movement, he had merely advanced by a small rank. Ye Chuan nevertheless was in high-spirit, inside dantian, there was a new flowing water shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman, and his strength had jumped from 54,000 jin to 72,000 jin. A single Heaven Swallowing Talisman increased his strength by 18,000 jin, and condensing a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman was far better than breaking through a small rank. Ye Chuan who once was able to conceal the heaven with his hand in Wilderness World had a unique and profound understanding of cultivation path. Unlike other people, he didn¡¯t blindly seek the cultivation speed but strive to reach the pinnacle of every realm. Only moving steadily and surely like this, someday, he would be able to set foot on even glorious peak than his previous lifetime. No need to mention about the vast increase in strength, the flowing water shaped fourth Heaven Swallowing Talisman still made him have a reverie. He wondered what kind of profound mystery it had. ¡°This cultivation technique I found in the ancient tomb of God Burial Valley is truly amazing. Taming the female sea demon had this kind of unexpected benefit, if I were to use Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique to tame this Kumu warrior and even Heavenly Maiden, then wouldn¡¯t it¡­¡­¡± Exiting the cave, he saw Kumu warrior Tian Ku standing far away like a small mountain and Ye Chuan suddenly had this thought. Taming yao beast not only increase his powerful helpers, he also had a chance to inherit their unique innate skill. After cultivating for a long time, he discovered that this Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Cultivation Technique he had obtained in God Burial Valley was even more marvelous than he had previously imagined. Kumu warrior was also a type of special yao beast, and compared to ordinary yao beasts, their lifespan was even longer and their innate skill was also unique. Ye Chuan was sure that if he was to tame this big fellow, then his cultivation would definitely soar rapidly. If it was not him having misgivings due to Heavenly Yao Sect and white-haired Heavenly Empress behind this Kumu warrior, then he would have immediately thought of a way to tame him. The cultivation of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was slightly above Kumu warrior Tian Ku, furthermore, she had a great destiny, so if he was to tame her, then that would be wonderful. As for Half-Sage white-haired Heavenly Empress, that was unimaginable. Looking at the distant rising and falling Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Ye Chuan who had just left the cave suddenly held his head high and uttered a long, loud cry looking forward to his future. ¡°Reporting¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, not good, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± After the loud cry of Ye Chuan reverberated through the sky, the voice of fatty suddenly come from the distance, then bloody nose and swollen face fatty with blood on his war robe was flying towards him stepping on a flying sword. ¡°What happened? Fatty, didn¡¯t you just go to guard the sect¡¯s entrance, how come you are beaten so badly?¡± Ye Chuan said with a smile yet not a smile. Fatty, this fellow was truly pitiful, no matter where he went and no matter what happened, he seemed to always get injured. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, not good, this isn¡¯t good. The people of Five Style Sect are invading on a large scale, our disciples can¡¯t withstand much longer.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi said an astonishing news while panting. What? Black Cauldron Sect had just left, but why did Five Style Sect come here? The surrounding disciples of Cloud Mist Sect turned pale with fright. ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan shrunk, then dragging fatty, he left walking as if on wings. Compared to the flying speed of fatty after stepping on the flying sword, Ye Chuan¡¯s speed was far faster. Behind, Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi as well as others also followed. Chapter 178: Paradise Realm Chapter 178: Paradise Realm ¡°Get out of the way, let me enter, this miss wants to see your Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± Outside the entrance of Cloud Mist Sect, lovely and charming Liu Hong shouted at the top of her lungs. She was surrounded by numerous disciples of Five Style Sect, and as if tigers and wolves¡¯ momentum, they were threatening. But under the command of Protector Yang Tian Kuang, a hundred or so disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had arranged sword formation, standing in combat readiness not budging an inch. The atmosphere between them was bloodstained, it seemed, several waves of clashes had already erupted between them. After returning from Heavenly Yao Sect, Protector Yang Tian Kuang had firmly stood at the side of Ye Chuan, and after following Ye Chuan to suppress the internal strife, he assumed the command of sect guardian. As for his eyes, after using the medicine Ye Chuan had refined before he entered the seclusion cultivation, he had slowly recovered to normal. Now, he was even more dead set to stand on the side of Ye Chuan. And when he heard Liu Hong had led quite a few disciples of Five Style Sect to come here, he didn¡¯t hesitate to step forward to push them back. ¡°Our Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is in seclusion, he is not seeing any guest, please return.¡± Yan Tian Kuang¡¯s complexion sunk, but no matter whether Liu Hong used force or persuasion, he didn¡¯t yield. ¡°I have an urgent matter to see him, if you delayed the matter, then can you afford it?¡± Liu Hong was impatient and her particularly full and round chest was rising and falling, making people¡¯s mouth parched and tongue scorched. But Yang Tian Kuang didn¡¯t make the way so she didn¡¯t know what to do. Finally, with no other choice, she shouted loudly from outside the sect. ¡°Noble son Ye, come out, noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Unyielding Yang Tian Kuang truly made Liu Hong anxious, so discarding her virtuous maiden¡¯s demeanor, she shouted loudly. ¡°Noble son Ye, come out¡­¡­¡± ¡°Five Style Sect¡¯s Miss is requesting noble son Ye for an audience.¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The disciples of Five Style Sect that were clustered around Liu Hong also began to shout. Some had a sharp voice and some had a low and hoarse voice, and when all of them were shouting, it appeared just as the wail of ghosts and howl of wolves. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect that were responsible to guard the sect entrance looked at each other in blank dismay. Even Protector Yang Tian Kuang also sweated. They had seen many people that come to challenge the sect, but hundreds of people shouting together in front of the sect entrance, this was the first time, they had encountered such matter. It seems, like Liu Hong said, they truly had some urgent matter, but they again couldn¡¯t let them enter without careful consideration. They could only hope that fatty whom they had sent secretly to notify would return quickly, otherwise, this might really go out of control if they continue to drag on for a long time. Ye Chuan dragging fatty arrived at the entrance of the sect and was dumbfounded. Beyond his expectation, bewitchingly charming Liu Hong who used to speak cutely in former days was unexpectedly rallying up such disturbance, ¡°Miss Liu, are you looking for me?¡± ¡°Yes, noble son Ye, I am finally able to see you. There is a problem, a big problem!¡± Liu Hong went straight to the point and seeing Ye Chuan, she finally relaxed. ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± Ye Chuan lowered his voice. According to his understanding, although Liu Hong always dressed gorgeously attracting bees and provoking butterflies, but she wasn¡¯t a rash person. For her to suddenly come urgently looking for him like this, she must have encountered some problem. Was there infighting in Five Style Sect too, and because the situation was getting out of hand, she came here to request reinforcement? Or to say, Liu Hong had accidentally learned that Cloud Mist Sect was about to face with imminent disaster, so she especially came here to notify him? On the surface, Ye Chuan maintained his composure, but he was perturbed inwardly. ¡°Noble son Ye, do you still remember the minefield, Bluestone Mine of Five Style Sect I have previously taken you to?¡± Liu Hong took a breath, then added, ¡°Do you still remember, at that time, you said that there was a treasure underground which I can dig out?¡± ¡°I remember.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and said, ¡°What, didn¡¯t you all dig out a treasure?¡± ¡°What treasure! 100 meters deep underground, there was an ancient stone coffin. All the disciples of Five Style Sect that touched that ancient stone coffin disappeared without a trace, even my father is also missing!¡± Liu Hong was anxious and also angry, moreover, she seemed to blame Ye Chuan for all this. After this matter occurred, Five Style Sect was in commotion and all the experts of Five Style Sect did everything, but including the elders, all could find no way out. In the vicinity of that underground stone coffin, there seemed to be an invisible space that could swallow everything. Everyone would disappear as soon as they approach that stone coffin including the people with high cultivation. There were several Daoist Master realm experts of Five Style Sect that didn¡¯t believe in heresy, so they join hand to explore, but the result was, all of them suddenly disappeared right before everybody¡¯s eyes. After exhausting every means they could think to no avail, Liu Hong suddenly recalled the first person that discovered the unusualness of underground, Ye Chuan, so she hurried over here. ¡°What? Your father is also missing, a stone coffin?¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan changed and was shocked in his heart. Who was the father of Liu Hong? He was the Sect Master of Five Style Sect and was the overlord of one region sitting on the equal footing with Sect master Tuoba Xiong of Black Cauldron Sect! Even he suddenly disappeared meeting the accident, this situation was serious. If this was not handled properly, then as a light consequence, internal strife would occur within Five Style Sect and Liu Hong who had lost her backer would be the first to be affected, and as a heavy consequence, Black Cauldron Sect and Cloud Mist Sect would involve in it. And with the style of that fierce and ambition Tuoba Xiong, Black Cauldron Sect wouldn¡¯t miss this opportunity. Once he took advantage of this time to annex Five Style Sect, Cloud Mist Sect would have even bigger pressure. In an extremely short period of time, Ye Chuan understood the gravity of the matter, ¡°Yi Yangzi, come with me, as for everyone else, stay in the sect. without my order, no one is allowed to take even a half-step outside the sect! Miss Liu, please!¡± Ye Chuan quickly made the decision, then bringing along Flame Devil, he wanted to left with Liu Hong. Whoosh, suddenly a sound came from far away. Looking up, everyone including Ye Chuan were shocked. From the distant horizon of the direction of Bluestone Mine, suddenly a powerful shockwave came, then a majestic mountain peaks collapsed causing dust to rise. After that, a peerless energy fluctuation soared from deep underground and along with a rumbling sound, the entire ground shook. Shortly afterwards, towering palaces slowly rose from underground and as if the palace of heaven, it appeared before the world, and then, ancient and profound aura spread all around. The entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range was disturbed, and at the same time, everyone looked up to see that indistinctly visible layer upon layer of palaces suspending in the midair and were dumbstruck. Inside Black Cauldron Hall of Black Cauldron Sect, 108 big cauldrons simultaneously shook and let out a thunderous sound. And Tuoba Xiong who was sitting on the throne of this hall with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and soared, then directly breaking the roof, he rushed out and seeing the layer upon layer of palaces far away, he was stunned. ¡°Paradise Realm, this is an ancient Paradise Realm, the ancient legend was real!¡± Inside Cloud Mist Sect, Kumu warrior Tian Ku suddenly knelt on the ground, then he prostrated towards that indistinctly visible layer upon layers of palaces with unprecedented excitement. After that, he held his head high and uttered a long, loud cry, and his body expanded to 10 meters. After that, he crushed the message talisman to notify the white-haired Heavenly Empress who was far away. This time he had come to Cloud Mist Sect because he had received the order to come and protect the Heaven Burning Furnace that was lent to Ye Chuan in order to avoid any accident. But he unexpectedly witnessed the arrival of Paradise Realm. Every Paradise Realm was the mountain-dwelling left behind by an almighty expert of ancient times. And every Paradise Realm had many fortunes, cultivation techniques and treasures hidden within them. Obtaining the heritage of a Paradise Realm, the benefit might be even higher than Heaven Burning Furnace. Chapter 179: Seize the initiative Chapter 179: Seize the initiative The Paradise Realm that suddenly burst out of the ground caused the unprecedented sensation. Liu Hong who had hastily rushed over with the intention of seeking help and also had thoughts to violently criticize while blaming Ye Chuan, now, seeing the Paradise Realm had come up out of the ground, she turned around and led numerous disciples of Five Style Sect to hastily return while scheming how to take the initiative to enter the Paradise Realm. Ever since ancient times, there was a legend that there was an ancient time Paradise Realm in Cloud Mist Mountain Range. According to the legend, whoever could obtain the inheritance of this Paradise Realm, that person could reach the sky in a single bound. Liu Hong who always dressed up sexily, in fact, was very calculating and she thirsted for strength and power. She naturally wouldn¡¯t let other people be the early bird that catches the worm. ¡°Noble son, be aware of that woman.¡± Flame Devil took two steps forward and warned Ye Chuan in a low voice. His expression was ice-cold looking at the back view of Liu Hong. ¡°I have the sense of propriety, rest assured.¡± Ye Chuan faintly answered. From the very beginning, he was secretly alert against this seemingly bewitchingly charming Liu Hong. Before, he had pointed out that underground precious deposits of Bluestone Mine because he simply didn¡¯t want to owe her a favor. But beyond his expectation, it however led to the legendary Paradise Realm. And for this Paradise Realm to suddenly appear before the eyes of everyone, he wondered if it came out on its own or the people of Five Style Sect touched some restriction causing it to break out of the ground. Horned Demon Na Gusi walked over and said: ¡°Master, let me come with you to explore this Paradise Ream. With us three together, we might be able to seize the inheritance of Paradise Realm, gagaga.¡± The eyes of Na Gusi shone, and looking at the Paradise Realm that came out of the ground, he was itching to have a go and he was dying to immediately run over. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I will also go!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, take me along, let me help you open the path!¡± ¡­¡­ Numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect surrounded Ye Chuan and asked for the battle assignment in succession. Fatty Zhao Dazhi was fastest to rush over and stood at the front. Zhu Sijia also came. She was wearing a fiery red battle robe and moccasins which made her look taller. Although she was standing far away without speaking as she was clearly still angry with Ye Chuan, but she also hated to miss this opportunity to explore this dangerous Paradise Realm together with Ye Chuan. ¡°Everyone, be quiet and listen to me.¡± Ye Chuan looked all around and seeing everyone closed their mouth, he said, ¡°All younger generation disciples, whatever the status and no matter how long it had been since they entered the sect, as long as their cultivation has reached Rank 7 Wuzhe, all of them can join this operation to explore the Paradise Realm. As for whether anyone could obtain the inheritance of Paradise Realm or not, that will be left to their individual luck. As for everyone else in the sect, all of them must obey the instruction of Second Elder.¡± Looking at the layer upon layer of palaces indistinctly visible in the midst of cloud and mist, Ye Chuan made a prompt decision. Whether one could obtain the inheritance of Paradise Realm or not, cultivation and background weren¡¯t all important, the most important was lucky encounter. The more powerful the treasure, the more it stressed the individual destiny. Without destiny, even if one possessed heaven-defying cultivation, they have to return empty-handed. Since Cloud Mist Sect was steadily deteriorating for many years, the average cultivation of the disciples was mediocre. Nan Tiandu who possessed the most remarkable cultivation had jumped into Evil Dragon Abyss committing the suicide. This time, many powerful disciples would enter the Paradise Realm, but not even one-tenth of them might return alive, however, as long as there was someone among the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect that had the destiny to obtain the inheritance of Paradise Realm, becoming a first-rate expert, everything was worth it! There were many mediocre people but experts were rare. Ye Chuan wanted an expert! ¡°Noble son, I fear¡­¡­¡± Protector Yang Tian Kuang¡¯s complexion changed, he wanted to speak but stopped. With Paradise Realm coming out from underground with such big movement, the news certainly couldn¡¯t be hidden. The three big sects of Cloud Mist Mountain Range would definitely not miss this opportunity, moreover, all kind of grand heroes as well as devils would also come swarming. At that time, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect should not only face Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, they furthermore had to face many loose cultivators and even evil spirits that had been in seclusion for thousands of years. Forming a group of elite disciples wouldn¡¯t be as bad, but letting all the ordinary disciples enter too, wouldn¡¯t this¡­¡­ ¡°I have already decided, you don¡¯t need to speak. In the future, even if Great Elder or Master Sect Master returns, they will also agree with me.¡± Ye Chuan waved his hand signaling Yang Tian Kuang to stop speaking, then walking to the front of Kumu warrior Tian Ku, he said: ¡°Your Excellency Tian Ku, now the Heavenly Maiden isn¡¯t here and a Paradise Realm suddenly appeared, what do you intend to do now?¡± Without the remainder of Protector Yang Tian Kuang, Ye Chuan also know that this trip to Paradise Realm was especially dangerous. A single carelessness could lead to not only not obtaining the inheritance of this Paradise Realm, they furthermore might have to leave their life there. The strength of Flame Devil and horned demon Na Gusi was remarkable, and he furthermore had Six-Winged Golden Cicada, female sea demon and puppet doll inside the space of Cyan Lotus Lamp as his helper, but it was still far from sufficient for Ye Chuan. If Kumu warrior Tain Ku was to follow him, then he would have one additional top-notch expert at his disposal. ¡°I am very sorry, noble son Ye, I hope you can protect Heaven Burning Furnace. You all can go first, I will wait for the elites of Heavenly Yao Sect in the vicinity.¡± Kumu warrior Tian Ku flatly refused the invitation of Ye Chuan and flying away, he suddenly left Cloud Mist sect leaving behind his voice, ¡°After entering Paradise Realm, be a bit more careful, noble son Ye.¡± ¡°You all also be careful!¡± Ye Chuan coldly smiled. Kumu warrior Tian Ku was somewhat tactful, but Ye Chuan understood the meaning of his words. After entering Paradise Realm, all parties would battle each other, and Heavenly Yao Sect will not only not help Cloud Mist Sect, might even battle them, which means, both sides were on their own inside Paradise Realm. The so-called sworn friend, if not broken means the temptation was insufficient. In the face of enormous benefit, sworn friends might turn into sworn enemies. The inheritance of ancient Paradise Realm arose the interest of even Heavenly Yao Sect that was aspiring to be the foremost sect! Zhu Sijia also understood the meaning of the words of Kumu warrior Tian Ku and her complexion changed. With powerful experts of Heavenly Yao Sect also entering Paradise Realm, only a few disciples of Cloud Mist Sect might return alive from this Paradise Realm. And after the careful consideration, the complexion of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect become ugly in succession, only Ye Chuan was calm and composed. No matter who they were, if they wanted to act against Cloud Mist Sect, then it would not be so easy. ¡°Fellow disciples, listen to my command, anyone that is willing to take the risk and enter Paradise Realm, follow me!¡± Ye Chuan looked at all the disciples, then turning around, he rushed straight towards that indistinctly visible Paradise Realm far away. If one wanted to obtain the inheritance of Paradise Realm, then it would be the best to seize the initiative. Liu Hong had already led the disciples of Five Style Sect, hurriedly returning to their sect. Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong might already be on the road. So if they didn¡¯t set out now, then Cloud Mist Sect would lose the initiative. And after various forces outside Cloud Mist Mountain Range rush over, the pressure would be bigger and the competition would be crueler! Roar! Suddenly a heaven shaking roar came from the direction of Paradise Realm. This roar resembled thunder and also dragon roar, shaking the ground once again. After that, the layer upon layer of palaces indistinctly visible in the midst of cloud and mist unexpectedly began to slowly sink, seemingly wanting to sink and disappear again. ¡°Not good, Paradise Realm¡¯s restriction is activated, now we only have limited time, hurry!¡± Ye Chuan shouted loudly, then he accelerated. Many disciples of Cloud Mist Sect stepped on their flying sword to fly and was barely able to keep up with Ye Chuan. Now a group of more than 800 people was rushing like a wild hurricane. Chapter 180: Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm Chapter 180: Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm Ye Chuan had made a prompt decision but when he reached the Bluestone Mine leading everybody, he discovered he was still a step late. No need to mention Five Style Sect that was nearest to the Paradise Realm, even Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong had already arrived leading the elites of his sect. In this operation, Ye Chuan brought all the younger generation disciples of Cloud Mist Sect whose cultivation was Rank 7 Wuzhe or above. With a total population of 800 people, they appeared overwhelming with numerical strength. But compared to Five Style Sect and Black Cauldron Sect, their number was still too small. Altogether the troops of Five Style Sect numbered nearly 2000 and as for Black Cauldron Sect, nearly the whole nest had come out. Even the previous generation disciples had rushed over to this place. Altogether they had 3000 people. They neatly lined up in a formation and their momentum was threatening. After the Paradise Realm came out of the ground, the three huge sects of Cloud Mist Mountain Range quickly made a move. Ye Chuan saw tall and big Tuoba Xiong far away, but he said nothing merely assessed the situation carefully. For the first time, even this old man Tuoba Xiong didn¡¯t dare to advance. Everyone was just observing this ancient Paradise Realm. Outside the layer upon layer of palaces, cloud and mists were lingering and although its momentum was broad but no-one could clearly see the true features of this Paradise Realm. Even divine sense also couldn¡¯t see through it. And under the ground, inside the mining pit which was roughly 100 meters deep, there was a stone coffin. At an unknown time, the lid of this stone coffin had already opened. Inside it, there wasn¡¯t skeleton rather a black passage that led to an unknown location. Anything that approached near this stone coffin would disappear instantly. Rumbling sound frequently came from the depth of the ground and the ground continuously shook. As for the palaces of the sky, they were sinking slowly wanting to re-sink deep underground. Moreover, the cover of this stone coffin was also closing slowly. On the lid of this stone coffin, a dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws was engraved, but it was different from the common dragon. Its tail was especially sturdy and it didn¡¯t have wings but there were sharp bony thorns on its back making it look incomparably ferocious. Is this the entrance to enter the Paradise Realm? Once the stone coffin is completely covered, can they be able to enter again? All the people of three sects were intently watching at the slowly closing stone coffin, and their complexion was tense. The dark passage that led to unknown place inside the stone coffin appeared daunting, so no-one dared to rashly storm into it. But if they continued to wait in vain like this, then they would miss a golden opportunity. ¡°Let¡¯s go, outstanding disciples of my Black Cauldron Sect, follow me!¡± Tuoba Xiong gritted his teeth and ordered, then took the initiative to advance. And when he was roughly three meters away from the stone coffin, his body suddenly distorted and then disappeared. As for more than 3000 disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, they slightly hesitated, then bracing themselves, they followed after and disappeared one after another as if traveling through the time to another invisible world. Among the three major sects, Tuoba Xiong took the lead to make the decision. This old fellow that handled affairs by fair means or foul, in front of Heavenly Maiden and Tian Ku, perfectly knowing the consequences of offending Heavenly Yao Sect, he directly retreated; but facing this ancient Paradise Realm, he was the first person to grit his teeth and became ready to risk everything. To be able to adapt to different situations, he really was a formidable man. ¡°Master, shouldn¡¯t we also enter?¡± Horned Demon Na Gusi was very eager to enter and seeing the people of Black Cauldron Sect were rushing in, he was somewhat impatient. ¡°No need to be hasty, wait a minute.¡± Ye Chuan scanned the troops of Five Style Sect and then his gaze fixed on the dragon-shaped pattern on the lid of the stone coffin. Sturdy tail with bony thorns on the back, this kind of dragon had never been seen before in Wilderness World. And after carefully flipping through his previous life¡¯s memories, vague memory fragments slowly appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. According to the legend, outside the Wilderness World, there is a distant world beyond the highest heavens called the Dragon Kingdom. That place¡¯s heaven and earth gave birth to an ancient Heavenly Dragons. Among these Heavenly Dragons, there were winged dragons that had a pair of wings that span 108000 li and there were also fiercest demonic dragons that had the most doughty body. Among all the Dragon Clan, the body of demonic dragons was abnormal and they were famous for being fiercest and bravest in close combat. These demonic dragons¡¯ tail was especially sturdy, moreover, they coincidentally had bony thorns on their back which were their ferocious killing weapons during close combat. ¡°Demonic Dragon¡¯s stone coffin, can it be, this is a Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, is the dwelling left behind by the Demonic Dragon that came from the world beyond the highest heavens?¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and was shocked. He was sure that millions upon millions of years ago when he could conceal the heaven with his hands, there absolutely was no trace of Demonic Dragons in Wilderness World. So, if this was truly a Paradise Realm left behind by Demonic Dragon, then it must have happened after he was trapped in the God Burial Valley. Perhaps, after he, the overlord Sage, was trapped in God Burial Valley, this Demonic Dragon might have used great power to tear the void and come here; or, perhaps an unprecedented cataclysm had occurred in Wilderness World causing the appearance of the passage leading to the world beyond the highest heavens. After that, the Sage realm experts of Wilderness World might have entered that passage in succession, proceeding to the world beyond the highest heaven and the experts of the world beyond the highest heaven might have also come to this Wilderness World. The expression of Ye Chuan changed, the more he thought, the more shocked he became. He wondered what exactly happened in this Wilderness World when he was trapped in God Burial Valley. But to confirm his guesses, he had to think of a way to travel all over the Wilderness World, verifying his conjecture little by little. Even if it had already been a long time, there inevitably would be some clues. ¡°Noble son Ye, how come, aren¡¯t you going?¡± Liu Hong walked over with a smile on her bewitchingly charming face. When she was at the entrance of Cloud Mist Sect, seeing Paradise Realm had come out from the ground, she had hurriedly returned back, but now, looking at that dangerous and unfathomable dark passage of the stone coffin, she instead wasn¡¯t in a hurry. She wanted Ye Chuan and his group to enter first because she wanted Cloud Mist Sect and Black Cauldron Sect face all the dangers inside first. Her face was full of smiles and was extremely warm but she had a scheme in her heart. ¡°Nothing urgent, inside Paradise Realm, I am sure that there are layer upon layer of dangers. Your Five Style Sect and Black Cauldron Sect have many experts, so I am waiting for you all to open up the path first.¡± Unlike Liu Hong, Ye Chuan straightforwardly said his intention, and with a smile yet not a smile, he added, ¡°Miss Liu, didn¡¯t you say your father is swept inside this Paradise Realm? But why aren¡¯t you entering hastily to look for him? Perhaps, he is waiting for your help. If you all enter too late, perhaps you all might be too late to save him, so pitiful. Miss Liu, you will not be impervious to your own father¡¯s misfortune, do you?¡± Want to play dirty with me? What to play scheming in front of me? Ye Chuan also smiled, only his smile had a trace of coldness. The passage of stone coffin was slowly closing, once closed, they will lose a golden opportunity. But, compared to Five Style Sect, Cloud Mist Sect still had more time to waste. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t believe that Liu Hong, this woman could afford to waste time any longer. Sure enough, the complexion of Liu Hong changed all of a sudden and her eyes glimmered with pallid light. Until now, in front of Ye Chuan, she was putting on na?ve airs and acting weak, deliberately showing a sweet and fragile appearance to gain sympathy, wanting to make Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, prostrate himself under her feminine charms. This move, she had put to repeated tests and proved right, unknown numbers of genius disciples were duped by her. So she had basically thought that if she sweetly said few words, then Ye Chuan would lead the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect to enter helping her clear the path, but, to her surprise, she had miscalculated this time. Chapter 181: Myriad Beast Forest Chapter 181: Myriad Beast Forest ¡°Noble son Ye, then we will enter first and wait for you inside.¡± Liu Hong smiled revealing a sweet smile, but after turning around, her complexion became gloomy. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, can¡¯t we wait a bit longer?¡± A disciple of Five Style Sect asked. After Gushan Leng, the Big Disciple of Five Style Sect suddenly died in the Great Competition of three major sects, Li Hong had her wished fulfilled, assuming the position of sect¡¯s Big Disciple. After that, she was addressed as Big Senior Apprentice-Sister. Secretly she was proud of herself for this achievement, but on the surface, she kept this information a secret because she wanted to continue pretending weak in front of Ye Chuan. ¡°Wait? That boy is an old fox, what should we wait for?¡± Liu Hong snorted then swaying her very slender waist, she returned to the front of Five Style Sect¡¯s large troops. After that, commanding everyone, she led all the disciples of Five Style Sect into the passage of stone coffin. Then, with a group after group of people disappearing, more than 2000 people completely disappeared. After that, powerful auras came from the horizon. All of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect looked all around only to see experts stepping on the flying swords flying towards this place from all directions. Among them, there were experts of other sects and also loose cultivators. The news of the appearance of Paradise Realm in Cloud Mist Mountain Range had spread faster than any flying swords, and many experts had rushed over after getting the wind of it. Not long after, even larger number of people would arrive here. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan commanded and he rushed towards the passage of stone coffin without any hesitation. When he was ten meters away, he felt nothing, but after taking one more step, when he reached nice meters away from the stone coffin, he suddenly sunk and felt like floating up in his mind. And rushing forward again, when he was 5-6 meters away, he involuntarily vibrated, not trembling rather involuntarily vibrating at a high speed and he felt as if his shoulders were about to tear and fly out. And when he was three meters away from the stone coffin, the vibration reached the peak, and as if a wave, his body rippled and distorted, then disappeared. Fatty, Zhu Sijia and others who were closely following behind along with roughly 800 disciples of Cloud Mist Sect also disappeared within a few breath of time. All the experts that were flying towards this place stepping on their flying sword after hearing the news were stunned to see this, but after a little while, someone dared to advance and disappeared into the passage of stone coffin. The ground continued to shake and the layer upon layer of palaces in the midst of cloud and mist also continued to sink leaving merely the towering top exposed outside the ground. Furthermore, the closing of the lid of the stone coffin also accelerated. And the demonic dragon pattern on its lid began to shine as if a ferocious ancient times rune. ¡­¡­ After feeling dizzy, Ye Chuan finally felt his both legs landing on the solid ground. Opening his eyes, he looked around. Behind was nothingness where even light couldn¡¯t enter which appeared as if it was an abyss that devours a man without spitting out the bones. On the left side was a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. On the right side was a swamp. And straight ahead was a spectacular stone forest. He couldn¡¯t see the end of this strange stone forest. He didn¡¯t see any trace of Flame Devil and horned demon Na Gusi and also couldn¡¯t see the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect including fatty and Zhu Sijia. Among all those people who had rushed in together, only he alone was here. Amazing measure! Ye Chuan was amazed in his heart. Even though so many people had swarmed in together, everyone was dispersed in the different location. This kind of transmission measure was unusual. In his previous life, he had a contest of strength against many experts but he had never encountered Demonic Dragon, so he didn¡¯t know what kind of abilities the other party might possess, thereupon, he needed to be especially careful. Carefully scanning all around for a while, Ye Chuan walked towards the stone forest in the front. He was careful in his every step. In the sky, a thin gray mist was floating, but unlike the bloody mist of Evil Dragon Abyss, it didn¡¯t have any corrosive property. It didn¡¯t seem to have any harmful effect, but for some unknown reason, these gray mist gave Ye Chuan a very bad feeling. Being enveloped under this gray mist, the entire Paradise Realm appeared as if it was a huge grave, and this was a place where the dead wandered, if living people came in, either they would die or they would change into a living corpse. The Stone Forest appeared not far away, but after walking for a while, he discovered that it wasn¡¯t so because even after he had walked for a while, there didn¡¯t seem to be any change in the distance. The grey mist in the sky was unconsciously causing the illusion. The light of this place seemed to be distorted and even time and space of entire Paradise Realm were distorting. A burst of noisy sound suddenly came through. Ye Chuan quickened his step and following the source of the voices, he unexpectedly discovered a few familiar faces. He saw Liu Hong dressed in a short leather skirt was making gestures while shouting loudly and also running towards him. In addition to her, there were two disciples of Five Style Sect, a tall and big person as well as a gentle and graceful endearing little bird-like woman dressed in Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s robe. Tuoba Xiaoniao? Ye Chuan was surprised, he had never expected that he would meet her in this place. He paused, then strode forward. ¡°Noble son Ye, are you also here in this Myriad Beast Forest?¡± Liu Hong turned around and on her overbearing and cold complexion of just now, seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s figure, immediately a sweet smile appeared. She was wearing a fish scaled armor on her upper body which tightly wrapped around her boobies that appeared as if they wanted to burst out of her solid armor. On her lower part, as always, she was wearing a super short leather skirt which barely covered her pert buttocks, but her especially slender shining white legs were especially conspicuous. As for those two disciples of Five Style Sect, they were repeatedly stealing a glance of boldly dressed Liu Hong in secret and being charmed, both of them were burning hot both inside and outside. But Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t even spare a glace and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. Before, he didn¡¯t mind, but now, with regarding this double-faced and double-crossing woman, he had more and more bad impression. His gaze fell on the boulder in front of this stone forest and he found that three words ¡®Myriad Beast Forest¡¯ were carved on it. ¡°Noble son Ye, what¡¯s wrong, your complexion doesn¡¯t look very good. What about the other disciples of Cloud Mist Sect? Are you the only one here?¡± Liu Hong leaned over, appearing as if she wanted to stick with Ye Chuan, causing a spring breeze to assail his senses. Then raising her head, she threw out her chest making her already plump chest appear even more towering just like an impressive mountain peak on a flat land. The two disciples of Five Style Sect looked over in jealousy and their gaze was rather ill. As for Tuoba Xiaoniao, she turned around and her lips moved as she cursed in a low voice. She couldn¡¯t tolerate Liu Hong, this kind of fickle and lascivious woman, the most, and clearly, she regarded Ye Chuan as the same kind of trash. Moreover, recalling the matter of Ye Chuan peeping her when she was bathing last time, she became even more furious. And in this operation, the person whom she didn¡¯t want to see the most was Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Ye Chuan, but to her surprise, she met him so quickly, truly was enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. ¡°Yes, only I am here.¡± Ye Chuan replied. Now, he was secretly alert and disgusted with Liu Hong, but on the surface, he nevertheless had a sincere appearance as he sighed, ¡°Ai, wifey is also here, but you are not greeting even though we are meeting, truly treating me worse than a stranger, Miss Liu, do you also think that my appearance is that bad?¡± ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong covered her mouth and roared with laughter. At that time, Tuoba Xiong looked for Big Bird to come bully and humiliate Cloud Mist Sect, but he courted humiliation to himself, this matter had already spread all over the Cloud Mist Mountain Range and long been cited as a joke. And seeing Tuoba Xiaoniao once again, Ye Chuan truly was bitterly sarcastic, causing her to laugh. Chapter 182: A dog-headed golem Chapter 182: A dog-headed golem ¡°Surnamed Ye, you¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao turned around and furiously glared at Ye Chuan. Seeing Liu Hong was laughing, she was embarrassed and also angry, moreover, blushed to the root of her ears. There was no other maiden whom Ye Chuan called wifey other than her. Tuoba Xiaoniao grabbed the hilt of the sword hanging on her waist and pulled half of it, but she endured and didn¡¯t attack. She just furiously turned away. In this dangerous and unfathomable Paradise Realm, it would be very dangerous to travel alone, but under embarrassment and anger, Tuoba Xiaoniao didn¡¯t care about it. ¡°Well, well, sister Xiaoniao, noble son Ye was only joking, nothing else. Don¡¯t lower yourself to the same level as him.¡± Liu Hong stopped Tuoba Xiaoniao, then looking at everyone, she slowly said, ¡°It is unfathomable and dangerous ahead, so now, all of us are in the same boat, sharing glory and loss together. Only if we all unite, we will have the hope to break through this stone forest. I suggest we form a team and select someone as a leader to lead us to venture into the unknown, how about it?¡± ¡°I agree.¡± ¡°There is nothing to say, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, you can be the captain. If you order us to go east, then we will definitely not go to the west.¡± The two disciples of Five Style Sect quickly made their position known, agreeing in unison. As for other three people, they however were silent. ¡°Big fellow, what is your name and what¡¯s your thought?¡± Liu Hong¡¯s gaze wandered around and she began to ask one by one. ¡°If we encounter a formidable opponent, how will we divide up the workforce? And if we find treasures, how will we distribute?¡± This tall and big person directly asked the important matter of cooperation in a low, muffled voice. They had taken risks to rush into the Paradise Realm to quickly find the treasures, who want to prepare a wedding dress for another person? The gaze of Liu Hong glimmered and said: ¡°If we encounter enemies, then we will naturally face them together, crossing a river in the same boat. If we find treasures, then we¡¯ll divide according to the contribution. By the way, big fellow, what is your cultivation level?¡± Very calculating Liu Hong spoke evasively. Her talk sounded very normal but in fact didn¡¯t explain anything, moreover, without batting an eyelid, she changed the subject of the topic. This big fellow was bold to say directly, but his brain department seemed to be lacking. He simply nodded his head and said, ¡°Fine, then we can form a team together. My surname is Lu and given name is Yingkui, am a loose cultivator. Currently, my cultivation is Rank 5 Xiushi. Many people call me Big Lu, hereafter, you all can also call me Big Liu.¡± ¡°Xiaoniao, what about you? What is your cultivation and do you agree to form a team?¡± Liu Hong looked at Tuoba Xiaoniao and enthusiastically pulled the latter¡¯s hand. ¡°I agree, and my cultivation is Rank 4 Xiushi, I have just made a breakthrough.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao simply answered while reluctantly letting Liu Hong pull her right hand. In her heart, she was feeling uncomfortable but if she was to shake off in the presence of all, then it wouldn¡¯t be too polite, so she wasn¡¯t able to shake off Liu Hong. ¡°Noble son Ye, what about you?¡± Liu Hong looked towards Ye Chuan, and continued to speak making her look pitiful, ¡°Paradise Realm is dangerous, but I don¡¯t know whether my father and others are fine. But, I can vaguely sense his aura behind this stone forest. Noble son Ye, can you help me (humble way)? After forming a team, you can be the team captain and I will act as a guide.¡± ¡°Form a team then form a team, but I cannot be the captain. Every one of you is Xiushi realm experts, but I, Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple have just made a breakthrough to Rank 3 Xiushi realm and my cultivation has yet to stabilize, so even if I want to serve as captain, I am not capable enough, I am truly ashamed. Miss Liu, I think it¡¯s better for you to be the captain, I just hope that you will give me a bit of consideration when running into the danger.¡± Ye Chuan replied. Liu Hong wanted to form a team with a mind to become the captain. Ye Chuan saw through this but didn¡¯t reveal it and also was too lazy to contend for that position. With the people of Cloud Mist Sect, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect who had different thoughts in their heart, in addition, this big fellow who was an unfamiliar loose cultivator, even if formed a team, it was impossible to truly unite and when they ran into a true danger, it was impossible to count on another person. But since they had coincidentally met, there was nothing bad in forming a team and walk a part of the path. Moreover, it was not too late to leave after scouting the circumstance of this Paradise Realm. ¡°Noble son Ye is flattering me, I am only a little woman without any ability. Honestly, I should have followed behind everyone but thinking about my father whose life or death is unknown, I am feeling very sad and impatient, and since everybody doesn¡¯t have any objection, I will undertake a difficult job that is beyond me, let¡¯s go. Na Shan, Na Shui, you two brothers walk in the front taking the lead. Big fellow, follow after them and as for us three, we will cover the back.¡± Liu Hong quickly ordered making the two disciples of Five Style Sect walk in the front. Although her voice sounded tactful and pleasant to hear, her eyes however were flashing with a trace of complacent light. Since she had successfully become a Captain, not only she could command all of them to withstand the formidable opponent, even when they find any treasure, wouldn¡¯t she have the final say? The smile of gorgeously dressed Liu Hong appeared sweet and innocent, but in fact, she was adept in scheming. No one knew how many schemes she had in her heart. The entire group of people set out, and very cautiously, they entered stone forest shrouded in grey mist. Originally, both disciples of Five Style Sect walked in the front leading the way, but after walking for a little while, the big fellow, Big Lu rushed ahead, then with a mace in his hand, he became the person leading the way. Everyone was dumbfounded seeing this and thought that this big fellow was not only lacking in his brain department, but he was also moving without considering others. Liu Hong however quietly gave the signal to Na Shan, then he slowly dragged behind to safeguard Liu Hong¡¯s back. Ye Chuan neither walked slowly nor walked quickly at the back and he observed all the small actions of Liu Hong but he didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid, and pretending to know nothing, he slowly followed behind Liu Hong. While walking, he appreciated the back view of both Liu Hong and Tuoba Xiong. These two women were completely different types. One was hot, sexy as well as bold, and she wore miniskirt as if the shorter it was the better. And another completely covered her body from head to toe wearing the standard gown of Black Cauldron Sect. And looking from the back, one was petite and dainty, and while walking, her pert buttocks jumped wanting to emerge abruptly from under the miniskirt; another one was endearing little bird with a graceful bearing. Looking at them, each had something to recommend them. ¡°Brat, what are you looking¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao suddenly turned around and angrily glared at Ye Chuan. All along the path, she always felt the gaze of Ye Chuan so she was naturally unable to endure any longer. If energetic Zhu Sijia was in her place, then she would have already acted violently long ago. ¡°Looking at the path, wifey, when you walk, didn¡¯t you look on the path?¡± Ye Chuan had a bad smile on his face but he squinted his eyes, then he began to circulate four Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. ¡°You¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao gritted her teeth. She had seen many shameless people but she had never seen the second person who was as shameless as Ye Chuan in the entire Cloud Mist Mountain range. Looking path then looking path, but all people had risen their head, but how come you are lowering the head throughout the way? Could it be that you are looking the path from between the gap between the thighs? Tuoba Xiaoniao was short of breath as she truly wasn¡¯t able to keep her anger under control, and her right hand had already grabbed the hilt of her sword. But just when she was about to attack, she suddenly felt something was wrong. The entire group of people had stopped without uttering a single world. As for big fellow Big Lu who was in the front leading the way, all his muscles were tense. Tuoba Xiaoniao turned around and happen to see a terrifying scene. In the front, a boulder which diameter was about 50 meters suddenly cracked open and a three meters tall stone man came out. It had a body of a human and the head of a dog, and just like a puppet, it automatically took a step. Although its expression was dull, but its power however was astonishing. That one step shook the ground. A dog-headed golem with innate super strength appeared in front of everyone which rushed towards them with soaring killing intent. Chapter 183: Innately super strong Chapter 183: Innately super strong ¡°Be careful, big fellow, go forward!¡± Liu Hong turned pale and hastily ordered. This dog-headed golem that had appeared suddenly was too strong and was like a heavy boulder rolling on a narrow and winding road. If met head-on, then even an elephant would be crushed and if they wanted to dodge, then they didn¡¯t have space to dodge. At this critical moment, as a captain, Liu Hong didn¡¯t go forward and also didn¡¯t order two disciples of Five Style Sect, rather instructed stubborn Big Lu, revealing the calculation of her heart. The so-called forming a team was, in fact, merely looking for a few no-cost labors, nothing else. ¡°Kill!¡± The big fellow Big Lu however didn¡¯t think much, and without waiting for Liu Hong¡¯s order, he rushed forward. Dong, he ferociously smashed the dog-headed golem by his mace. But, the mace which weighted three thousand jin snapped into two, and the dog-headed golem that was moving threateningly towards them merely paused for a bit, moreover, that mace was not able to leave even the slightest scratch. Big fellow Lu Yingkui who had always bragged about his innate superhuman strength was dumbfounded and was so overwhelmed that he didn¡¯t move. At that moment, a big fist arrived in front of him and sent him flying. His shoulder was sunken and his right arm was dislocated. Receiving this attack head-on, he was seriously injured and after falling on the ground, he struggled for a good while, but he wasn¡¯t able to stand. Dong dong, the sound of footsteps got closer and closer. The steps of this dog-headed golem were so heavy that if it was to step on him, then he would truly be crushed into a meat pulp. ¡°Na Shan, Na Shui, use hooked rope, quick!¡± Liu Hong was tense and her eyes were full of fear. Na Shan and Na Shui were not only the disciples of Five Style Sect, they were also her trusted subordinates, so encountering the danger, she made Big Lu rush forward secretly preserving her strength. But, now that she was facing dog-headed golem, this terrifying big fellow, she couldn¡¯t afford to do that.¡± ¡°Yes, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister!¡± The two disciples of Five Style Sects agreed then simultaneously jumped on the rocks of both sides of this path. After that, both of them took out a long rope with a hook tied on its end. Then spinning it above their head, they tossed out with all their strength towards the legs of this dog-headed golem, then one person pulled one leg with all their strength towards the opposite side. Hooked Rope Separation! Na brothers quickly displayed their special technique. If they jointly used this technique on a common people, then pulling with their strength, they could tear that person into two half. This move was simple and fierce. But, this time, their time-tested deadly move was ineffective. After the legs of this dog-headed golem were hooked, even after they used all the strength they had, they weren¡¯t able to move them the slightest as if they were pulling the mountain. On the contrary, this dog-headed golem paused and grabbing the hooked-rope, with its hands, it instantly pulled over Na brothers and ferociously collided with them. ¡°Run, quickly run!¡± Seeing this dog-headed golem was so powerful, Liu Hong was so scared that she turned pale, then turning around, she ran. Ye Chuan also turned around and slip away, running away even quicker than Liu Hong. The big fellow and Na brother that had fallen on the ground also stood up and while staggering, they also ran as fast as they could. Behind, the innately super strong dog-headed golem who was practically invulnerable chased them relentlessly. Although it was slow in movement, but its one step covered everybody¡¯s several steps, so the distance between them continuously decreased. And even worse was, it picked up a boulder and threw towards them which coincidentally blocked their route of retreat. Liu Hong who had taken the lead to flee for life turned around and seeing that dog-headed golem was getting nearer and nearer, cold sweat appeared on her face. Before she was vying to become a captain, but now, she didn¡¯t know what to do, moreover, she didn¡¯t even have the courage to try to resist. Dong, dong, dong¡­¡­, the dog-headed golem approached in large strides, and just looking at its fists made them tremble with terror. Just after receiving a single punch from that fist, Big Lu was half-dead, moreover, that punch hadn¡¯t landed on his vital point. If bewitchingly charming Liu Hong or endearing little bird Tuoba Xiaoniao were the one that received that punch, then wouldn¡¯t that fist have taken their life? ¡°Noble son Ye, what should we do? Noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong asked in a trembling voice. Recalling Ye Chuan who hadn¡¯t made any move, she suddenly felt as if she found someone to lean on in her heart. Leading the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect to the victory in three major sect¡¯s Great Competition, going to Heavenly Yao Sect and return successfully burrowing a peerless treasure Heaven Burning Furnace, and quickly suppressing the internal strife of Cloud Mist Sect¡­¡­, Ye Chuan did all of these things, which among them weren¡¯t highly admirable? The sinister eyes of Liu Hong had already discerned that Ye Chuan was extraordinary, and the fact also proved that she really hadn¡¯t misjudged him. Although Ye Chuan said that he was only Rank 3 Xiushi, but she didn¡¯t believe that. And now, when truly ran into danger, she quickly recalled that this powerful Ye Chuan who was real knowledge but not showy. The eyes of Liu Hong were suddenly filled with hopes, but when she turned around, she was dumbfounded. Ye Chuan who was standing behind her throughout the way had already disappeared at an unknown time. It seems he had run away faster than anyone else. ¡°Hey, here.¡± Ye Chuan waved his hand from the boulder top and said with an evil smile, ¡°Miss Liu, I¡¯m sorry, my cultivation is the weakest and my courage is also the smallest, so I ran away first. I will help you make the formation from up here, you all can continue. As for wifey, if you don¡¯t want to die, then come up and provide support to Captain Liu Hong together with your husband, moreover, we can also sit by and watch her Style Technique¡¯s big killing moves.¡± Liu Hong was a type of person who speaks a human language if she saw human and speak a ghost language if she saw ghosts, so seeing the situation was anything but reassuring, she turned around and fled, but Ye Chuan slipped away even faster, he wasn¡¯t stupid enough to rush forward like Big Lu. With a single glance, he knew that this three meters tall dog-headed golem was a melee expert and fighting it in a close combat was the stupidest idea unless one had a heaven-defying strength. But, even if one had heaven-defying strength, there was no need to fight it head-on.After breaking through to Rank 3 Xiushi and condensing four Heaven Swallowing Talismans, Ye Chuan¡¯s strength had increased sharply to the terrifying 72,000 jin. So he had the confidence to compete head-on against this three meters dog-headed golem, but, was that necessary? Clearly not, even if he wanted to make a move, he had to put it off until the final moment when he had no alternatives. Liu Hong had still yet to make her move, so he even more wasn¡¯t in a hurry. Liu Hong didn¡¯t use the Style Technique of Five Style Sect to make a deadly move, on the contrary, she was the first person to jump beside Ye Chuan. As for Tuoba Xiaoniao, Lu Yingkui and Na brother, they also jumped to other huge stones in succession. At that time, no one dared to face dog-headed golem head-on as no one was truly stupid. ¡°Noble son Ye, you are too heartless, running so quickly, are you not afraid that I will be killed in one punch by this dog-headed golem?¡± Liu Hong with slightly red eyes pretended to be still badly shaken delicate and charming young girl, she thought to stimulate Ye Chuan to make a move. Blindly running away wasn¡¯t the way, it hadn¡¯t been a long time since they entered this stone forest, and there still were unknown dangers in the front. But, if they retreat now, how would they cross this stone forest, and how would they explore this ancient Paradise Realm? Did they don¡¯t what the inheritance of this Paradise Realm? Liu Hong paid no attention to the jealous gaze of Na Brothers, as well as, completely ignored the disgusted expression of Tuoba Xiaoniao. She directly tried to seduce Ye Chuan in public as she directly leaned on Ye Chuan. Even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn¡¯t believe that Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation was only trifling Rank 3 Xiushi. With regarding her beauty, Liu Hong had always been very confident. As long as she leaned on Ye Chuan¡¯s bosom, she didn¡¯t believe Ye Chuan would be hard-hearted enough to let ferocious dog-headed golem destroy a flower. But, when she was full of confidence, she suddenly felt empty and nearly fell down from the stone to the feet of the dog-headed golem. Ye Chuan with a bad smile had instantly jumped to another huge stone. ¡°Noble son Ye, you¡­¡­¡± Li Hong was angry and her face became rather hot, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt she was rising higher and higher. She lowered her head and looked, then became pale. Below, the dog-headed golem who was unable to jump had suddenly stretched out its hands, then it held this heavy and tall stone high. This several thousand jin heavy stone, as if it was a small sandbag, it wanted to throw it far away! Chapter 184: Frenzied Golem Chapter 184: Frenzied Golem ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, be careful!¡± ¡°Jump over, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, quick!¡± Na Shan and Na Shui shouted. They wanted to jump down and obstruct this ferocious dog-headed golem, but their legs however didn¡¯t move as they didn¡¯t dare to truly risk everything. Fortunately, Liu Hong jumped in time, and from behind her, a rumbling sound resounded as that huge stone that was tossed far away by this dog-headed golem with terrifying strength collided with another stone. ¡°Use the flying sword to poke its eyes!¡± Liu Hong didn¡¯t have time to look for Ye Chuan to calculate the accounts. She just urgently gave order and personally also wielded a light cyan colored flying sword. ¡°Yes!¡± Na Shan and Na Shui respectfully accepted the orders, then wielded their flying swords in unison. Suddenly, three flying swords whistled towards this dog-headed golem, stabbing towards its eyes. This stone lump with extraordinary strength was practically invulnerable to all kinds of attacks but what about its eyes? Were they also made from stones becoming practically invulnerable? But, she had no choice, since she had let Ye Chuan flee ahead of her, she had to personally make a move here. Roar! The dog-headed golem opened its mouth and unexpectedly issued a roar similar to the dragon roar, then raising its hands, it blocked the three flying swords. The three flying swords failed to pierce the eyes of the dog-headed golem, but they were finally able to find its vital point. After blinding both eyes of this fellow, it would just become a big target, moreover, it could no longer chase after them. ¡°Wind Style Sword Formation!¡± Liu Hong shouted loudly and she disappeared into the wind. She had used Five Style Sect¡¯s secret technique to change into a wind. But she didn¡¯t directly rush towards the dog-headed golem rather kept on changing position. She jumped from one stone to another while initiating a swift and fierce attack from different angles. She slowly began to show the deadly attacks of Five Style Sect. Under the leadership of Liu Hong, Na Shan and Na Shui advanced and retreated together while ferociously launching Style Techniques¡¯ attack in unison. Three small flying swords, in their hands, constantly changed their formation. Sometimes, they were in ¡®Æ·¡¯ shape and sometimes they were in a single line changing into ¡®Ò»¡¯ shape as they tried to pierce the eyes of the dog-headed golem. After waves after waves of violent attack, the dog-headed golem finally screamed as its left eye and right eye were blinded one after another. With the cooperation of three people, they were able to destroy the eyes of this dog-headed golem. After that, a series of strange fluctuations came from the dog-headed golem, and its three meters tall body unexpectedly expanded to five meters tall, then fiercely punching, it destroyed a small mountain-sized stone. Injured dog-headed golem was thoroughly angry, and then, it began to attack in frenzy. Just like a rampaging bull, it smashed through all the things that were blocking it. Na Shan and Na Shui accidentally were almost caught and torn in half. And at that time, Big Lu gritted his teeth and lifting a huge stone, he rushed up wanting to take the chance of this chaos and ferociously smashed the head of dog-headed golem from behind, but the result was, even though he was able to smash its head, but there was no injury, instead the dog-headed golem discovered his position, and a ferocious punch of dog-headed golem send him flying again. ¡°This fellow cannot see any longer, let¡¯s attack it together, I don¡¯t believe that we¡¯ll not be able to kill it!¡± Liu Hong ordered, then Na Shan and Na Shui initiated swift and fierce attacks in succession. As for Big Lu fallen on the ground, he crawled up, and although his injury seemed to be serious, he patted off the dust and joined the battle again. Don¡¯t know whether he innately had the different physique, but that strike didn¡¯t kill him, moreover, he still was valiantly fighting again. He didn¡¯t have a flying sword, and his only weapon mace was also broken, so he just lifted a big stone and began throwing it at the dog-headed golem. Even delicate looking Tuoba Xiaoniao also wield her flying sword and entered the battle. Although her attacks weren¡¯t as fierce as Liu Hong because she wasn¡¯t skilled in flying sword, but in any case, she could still impede dog-headed golem that was ferociously charging and attacking. Now that even Tuoba Xiaoniao had joined the battle, Ye Chuan who was continuously looking on with folded arms was embarrassed to continue staying idle, so just like Big Lu, he also threw rocks at the dog-headed golem. But what made Liu Hong spit blood was, although Big Lu was putting forth his strength to lift big stones and was throwing them ferociously in quick succession, however, these stones didn¡¯t leave even a bruise on dog-headed golem, but Ye Chuan simply stood and took aim for a long time, then leisurely picking up a small stone, he would throw it lightly. His throw was so light that this stone wouldn¡¯t even create a splash even on a calm lake, let alone injure the dog-headed golem. Seeing such action of Ye Chuan who didn¡¯t seem to exert himself, Liu Hong who had placed high hoped on him wanted to truly spat blood. ¡°This brat¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong hatefully gritted her teeth, but she could do nothing about Ye Chuan. He had already said that his cultivation was merely a Rank 3 Xiushi which was weakest among this team, so, even if she didn¡¯t believe him, what could she do? The entire group of people surrounded the dog-headed golem and attacked. When the latter rush forward, all of them would retreat and would jump from one stone to another dodging the attacks of the dog-headed golem. And if this stone lump turned around, they would immediately chase and attack fiercely. Like this, let alone a stone lump, even if it was an iron lump, it would definitely wear out and die. Under the continuous attack of the entire group of people, the dog-headed golem slowly began to wear out. Everywhere on its body, there were many pits made by flying swords, and it began to get weaker and weaker. And when the entire group of people thought that they could win certainly, a chance suddenly appeared. After sustaining ferocious attacks, the dog-headed golem staggered. Liu Hong seized this change to hastily rushed forward using her technique, but before she could initiate an attack, the dog-headed golem who appeared to be very weak suddenly straightened up, then grabbed the right leg of Liu Hong. And seeing the circumstance was anything but reassuring, the nearby Tuoba Xiaoniao subconsciously rushed forward to rescue her, which resulted in, the dog-headed golem releasing Liu Hong and palmed Tuoba Xiaoniao flying. Everything happened in an instant. Before everyone could react, Tuoba Xiaoniao had already crashed to the ground and a trace of blood came out from her mouth. As for Liu Hong, she was completely fine, and she quickly slipped away like a thief to the top of the faraway stone. She wasn¡¯t injured in the slightest, merely was somewhat in sore straits with disheveled hair. At the same time, the dog-headed golem stepped towards Tuoba Xiaoniao on the ground. Its momentum was threatening and it seemed to want to vent all its anger on Tuoba Xiaoniao. ¡°Be careful!¡± Big Lu ferociously threw out a big stone wanting to stop this ferocious dog-headed golem, but the latter completely ignored him and continued to walk towards Tuoba Xiaoniao. Its energy was completely locked on to Tuoba Xiaoniao and its killing intent was also surging. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao rolling on the ground opened her eyes and happened to see dog-headed golem¡¯s leg stepping towards her, so she involuntarily screamed. How big was that foot? Filled with stone lumps, its foot was very uneven and was more ferocious even compared to the teeth of a crocodile. Moreover, this foot was ten times bigger than an average person¡¯s foot and was frightening as millstones! Delicate Tuoba Xiaoniao felt powerless to dodge and also didn¡¯t have enough time to dodge, so while screaming, she closed her eyes. As for Big Lu, he also couldn¡¯t help but closed his eyes as he was unable to see a youthful woman crushed into a meat pulp. Chapter 185: Lend you a thigh to hug Chapter 185: Lend you a thigh to hug Honglong! A loud sound spread far and wide, and Tuoba Xiaoniao considered she was screwed. At that time, she firmly closed her eyes and subconsciously turning over, she tightly hugged a stone pillar with her both hands. But even after a good while when the sound had completely vanished, Tuoba Xiaoniao found she was actually still alive. She opened her eyes to look, and the first thing that reflected in her eyes was Ye Chuan with a grin on his face, and that terrifying dog-headed golem was motionlessly collapsed on one side. It had already died, and there were innumerable cracks in its stone body as if it was smashed with a huge war hammer. Seeing Tuoba Xiaoniao was about to meet mishap, leisurely Ye Chuan finally made a move. The First Heaven Swallowing Talisman, Heaven Defying Dragon; Second Heaven Swallowing Talisman, Skeleton under corpse mountain and sea of blood; Third Heaven Swallowing Talisman, Living Buddha; Fourth flowing water-shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman, Monstrous Blue Sea. With four Heaven Swallowing Talismans circulating together, the strength of 72,000 jin suddenly burst out which stumbled this huge dog-headed golem, then punching it in the passing, it¡¯s body exploded. The dazzling flying swords attack of Liu Hong and others for a long time was inferior to Ye Chuan¡¯s this single punch! ¡°You, did you save me?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao found this hard to believe. Like Big Lu, Liu Hong and others, although she already knew Ye Chuan had hidden his strength, but this punch was too fierce. Was this strength of Xiushi realm cultivator? Impossible, there must be an issue, was dog-headed golem happened to explode itself due to the exhaustion of its power or did Ye Chuan have a peerless treasure hidden with him? Liu Hong shook her head, she didn¡¯t dare to believe that Ye Chuan truly had such terrifying power. That punch of just now, even the later stage Xiushi realm cultivators might not have such strength, it was almost comparable to the strength of Daoist Master realm expert. Has Ye Chuan already broken through to Daoist Master realm? Obviously not, because, the gap between the small ranks might be concealed, but Xiushi realm and Daoist Master realm was completely different and the gap between these two realms was not something that could be concealed. Tuoba Xiaoniao also didn¡¯t dare to believe, not not believe in the strength of Ye Chuan, rather she had never thought that Ye Chuan would actually take a risk to rush over and save her at the final moment. This fellow would always ridicule and mock her every time he met her, moreover, he was very hostile towards Black Cauldron Sect, so how could he save her? ¡°Well, I saved you. But, wifey, can you loosen your hand? You have been continuously hugging so tightly. Still hugging my thigh so tightly, let¡¯s not mention about how my leg is so sore, the crux point is I am embarrassed. Hugging my thigh in such broad daylight, if this was night, then wouldn¡¯t¡­¡­ cough, even if you have already had the bridal chamber with me, shouldn¡¯t you pay a bit more attention?¡± Ye Chuan looked at Tuoba Xiaoniao with a bad smile on his face. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao screamed again. She just noticed that the thing she was firmly hugging wasn¡¯t a stone pillar as she had thought but was Ye Chuan¡¯s thigh. And her not too big but firm and upright boobies happened to tightly stuck on his thigh, moreover, they could clearly feel each other¡¯s body temperature. In former days, she found Ye Chuan, this brat, not pleasing to the eyes looking from any angle and even hated to the extent that she would grit her teeth wherever she saw him, but now, she was tightly hugging his thigh in public, now, how could she face other people? The heart of Tuoba Xiaoniao was jumping like a little deer and she felt so ashamed that she wanted to look for a hole to crawl into. ¡°Xiaoniao girl, next time, if such situation arose again, then you can come back looking for me, I will not mind a sore leg.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and jumped on a stone. ¡°Pei¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao was both embarrassed and angry. Now she owed an extremely big favor to Ye Chuan, and she wanted to curse him but it wasn¡¯t good to curse him too. In any case, he saved her life, so how could she curse him, moreover, how could she return this favor in the future? Tuoba Xiaoniao had a lot of worries now, if she had known she would encounter Ye Chuan here in advance, then she would have simply not participated in this muddy water and stayed back in Black Cauldron Sect cultivating in ease. ¡°Noble son Ye, you are so awesome, you¡¯ve really concealed yourself. Since we are still in danger, can you talk about the profoundness behind that move?¡± Liu Hong jumped over to Ye Chuan and with a smile on her face, she looked Ye Chuan up and down wanting to uncover his secret. ¡°Where is the profoundness, I just stretched my leg like this and that big fellow stumbled and cracked open on its own.¡± Ye Chuan replied. In front of this double-dealing and backstabbing Liu Hong who was very adept at scheming, he naturally wouldn¡¯t stupidly tell the truth. That punch of just now was so fast that no-one was able to see the details, but even if Liu Hong clearly saw, he wouldn¡¯t admit it. Liu Hong was half believing, half doubting, but looking at dog-headed puppet with cracks everywhere, she suddenly had a thought. The dog-headed golem completely covered in stones was practically invulnerable, but its eyes were the biggest flaw, however, after the remainder of Ye Chuan, Liu Hong discovered another flaw of this big fellow, that was its legs. With both legs broken, even if it was powerful, what could this dog-headed golem do? Wouldn¡¯t it just change into a stationary target? The eyes of Liu Hong shone and the certainty of being able to successfully crossing this Myriad Beast Forest increased greatly. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, there is a thing inside, quickly come and see!¡± ¡°Is that a rune crystal stone? Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, quick!¡± Na Shan and Na Shui suddenly shouted in unison. Liu Hong stepped on the flying sword then flying over there, she squatted down and looked carefully. After that, she slowly inserted her hand into the crack on the chest of this dog-headed golem. And after feeling for a little while, she fished out a human-shaped crystal. On its surface, there were many runes, rather than calling it rune crystal stone, calling it a small crystal human was better. ¡°Eh, this is¡­¡­, this is earth grade cultivation technique?¡± Liu Hong pondered while trying to hold the law seal, and she screamed in endless excitement. At first glance, this crystal stone appeared as if a small man with rune craved on his body, but looking carefully, one could discover that many techniques sealed on it including a powerful cultivation technique. In Wilderness World, cultivation techniques were divided into Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow, these four grades. And unlike Cloud Mist Sect with long inheritance, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were new sects that rose abruptly. In recent years, although they were so thriving that they had overshadowed steadily deteriorating Cloud Mist Sect, but their heritage wasn¡¯t deep. Most of their cultivation techniques were yellow grade and black grade, so accidentally obtaining an earth grade cultivating technique, even Liu Hong, this Five Style Sect¡¯s golden daughter involuntarily got overjoyed. Liu Hong suddenly closed her mouth and tightly held the small crystal man. A very difficult problem was placed in front of everybody. There were a total of six people but only one small crystal man, even if Na Shan and Na Shui weren¡¯t mentioned, there still were Lu Yingkui, Tuoba Xiaoniao and Ye Chuan, what¡¯s to be done? Could it be that she had to make public this earth grade cultivation technique she had obtained with great difficulty and cultivate it together? Liu Hong rather found that difficult, an earth grade cultivation technique would definitely fetch extremely high price outside, and could even cause foul wind and rain of blood. Moreover, it was obviously not her style to surrender the things she already had in her hand and cultivating it together, but if she wanted to keep it for herself, then how should she persuade others? Liu Hong¡¯s gaze wandered as she secretly looked at Tuoba Xiaoniao, Ye Chuan and others. She could casually find an excuse for Big Lu to muddle through this; Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s strength was weak, even if she was unwilling on her heart, she wouldn¡¯t say much; the crux was Ye Chuan. This small crystal man should belong to the person who had gotten rid of this dog-headed golem, and Ye Chuan had landed the final hit, earning himself a big credit, so if she wanted to muddle through him, it would be difficult. What¡¯s more, who was Ye Chuan, he was able to tightly sat on the position of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple despite many dangers, moreover, he quickly suppressed the internal strife of his sect. Could she be able to muddle through this kind of person? Chapter 186: What a vixen Chapter 186: What a vixen When Liu Hong was observing the strange cultivation technique on her hand¡¯s small crystal human, Ye Chuan was also secretly sizing it up. It was merely an earth grade cultivation technique, and this was not even worth mentioning to him. In the past, when he concealed the heaven with his hand, not to mention earth grade cultivation techniques, even heaven grade cultivation techniques, he had many of them. At that time, he had already mastered 3000 techniques, why would he be interested in other cultivation techniques? So with his instruction, all the gifts that were offered to him in respect were taken by Ghost Hand Medicinal King, Blue Eyed Yao Empires and his other followers. But, when he carelessly swept a glance at the small crystal man on the hand of Liu Hong, his eyes shone all of a sudden. On this small crystal man, a lot of magic seals were carved which appeared to have no pattern, but looking carefully, one could discover that it was a cultivation technique. And the key point of this cultivation technique didn¡¯t lie on its grade rather lied on its very uniqueness. It was completely different from the cultivation techniques frequently seen in Wilderness World. Ye Chuan and Liu Hong similarly tried to set about these law seals in proper series, but they were obstructed for a moment. They tried again and again, but they still frowned as they still felt something was amiss. ¡°Your Excellency, this isn¡¯t a normal technique, rather a rune technique which is a technique of refining runes.¡± The old evil spirits Hei Kui¡¯s voice resounded in the brain of Ye Chuan. ¡°Rune Technique?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised. Although he wasn¡¯t that proficient in the aspect of refining runes, but he had dabbled to some extent in his previous life, however, this was the first time he encountered this kind of technique. ¡°This is not a common rune technique either, if my guess isn¡¯t wrong, then this technique originated from the world beyond the highest heaven.¡± The old evil spirits Hei Kui¡¯s voice resounded once again, and pausing for a bit, he continued, ¡°According to the legend, my Puppet Sect¡¯s special cultivation technique, Great Puppet Technique, is also originated from the world beyond the highest heaven. Later, I don¡¯t know how but the founder of our Puppet Sect obtained it, and after successfully cultivating it, he established Puppet Sect. Your Excellency, if my sense isn¡¯t wrong, then not only this rune technique has the feeling of the world beyond the highest heaven, even that small crystal man in itself has a bit of aura of the world beyond the highest heaven, and it isn¡¯t refined using a common technique.¡± Ye Chuan became silent but his eyes however became more and more bright and piercing. During the time when he was trapped in God Burial Valley, he didn¡¯t know what kind of changes occurred, but what about this old evil spirit Hei Kui possessing this puppet doll? Perhaps, he happened to have experienced something! Even if he didn¡¯t know, there were definitely other evil spirits that were far stronger and had lived far longer in this wilderness world, and if he was to tame all of them, then wouldn¡¯t he be able to understand what had happened in the time period when he was trapped in God Burial valley? Ye Chuan was excited in his heart as he was able to finally think of a way to quickly and effectively investigate the entire Wilderness World. Now he had a hope to see Ghost Hand Medicinal King, Blue Eyed Yao Empress and other followers. If he wanted to set foot on the pinnacle someday, then he naturally had to make a great effort, but there was an even better way which was to stand on the shoulder of the giant. Using Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique, he could tame yao beast and all kinds of evil spirits, as well as Ghost Hand Medicinal King, Blue Eyed Yao Empress and other followers of former days. Like that, he would have giants under him, and also the so-called ¡®power¡¯. At that time, who will be able to stop him! To conduct oneself a business, one needs to borrow power, cultivation was also the same. Ye Chuan was somewhat absentminded, and the words of the old evil spirits Hei Kui let his imagination roam. ¡°Noble son Ye, noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong came to the front of Ye Chuan and whispered in a low voice as her eyes were flashing with unknown thoughts. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, what happened? Since my contribution is the greatest, shouldn¡¯t you give me this small crystal man?¡± Ye Chuan came back to his senses and looking at Liu Hong with an evil smile, he called her Big Senior Apprentice-Sister. The face of Liu Hong suddenly reddened hearing the words of Ye Chuan, but unlike shy Tuoba Xiaoniao, she quickly reverted back to normal and sweetly smiling, she said, ¡°Noble son Ye, I¡¯m truly sorry, I came here wanting to discuss with you. This time, brother Na Shan has used great effort, moreover, he happened to never have a suitable cultivation technique, that¡¯s why, even though his talent is pretty good, his cultivation is not up to much. So, how about giving this small crystal man to brother Na Shan? Myriad Beast Forest is so big, I am sure that there are many similar golems with many treasures hidden within them, so each and every one of us will definitely have an opportunity in the future. Noble son Ye, what do you think?¡± Liu Hong wanted to monopolize this small crystal man extracted from this dog-headed golem, but she didn¡¯t directly say she wanted it, rather expertly used Na Shan as a pretext. She said discussing, but in fact, she was emphasizing her contribution, moreover, there was an indistinct aggressive threat on her words. Furthermore, the complexion of Na Shan and Na Shui was also ill, which stated that, if Ye Chuan was to make even a brief remark of not agreeing, then they had the intention to immediately fall out. ¡°This¡­¡­, it¡¯s not fine like this. Who doesn¡¯t wish to obtain good thing? Brother Na Shan¡¯s cultivation is not up to much, but at least, his cultivation is much better than me. Here, my cultivation is the weakest, so, shouldn¡¯t you consider me the most?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. And although Liu Hong was still smiling and her appearance was glowing with enthusiasm, but her smile was somewhat stiff. As for Na Shan and Na Shui, their complexion became even uglier. And after pausing for a bit, Ye Chuan looked at Liu Hong and her two followers¡¯ expression, then sneering in his heart, he indifferently continued: ¡°Everyone wants this small crystal man, but, since Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu has spoken, you can decide.¡± The technique of the world beyond the heaven which might even be personally left behind by Demonic Dragon, Ye Chuan also want it, but, considering Liu Hong had helped her look for Qingyang Fruit¡¯s seeds in the past, he didn¡¯t want to fall out with her as long as it was possible. Besides, Liu Hong had also not spoken wrongly, this Myriad Beast Forest was so big, so there certainly must be more than one golem. And the really good things were always at the rear. ¡°Well, then I will thank noble son Ye on the behalf of brother Na Shan.¡± Liu Hong slightly bowed with a smile, then turning away, her complexion quickly sunk, and she issued orders to rest and reorganize. In this battle, although they had killed dog-headed golem and accidentally obtained a small crystal man, but the entire group of people was also in sore straits. Big Lu¡¯s injuries were most serious among them. Liu Hong took out a bottle of medicine from who knows where and personally helped big fellow to bandage his wound with a tender expression as if she was an innocent girl in love. With her charming face, elegant, bold and unrestrained bearing, moreover, that shining white slender legs and tender appearance, straightforward Big Lu was instantly charmed. This poor idiot who had never touched even a hand of a girl in his lifetime, how could he withstand this kind of temptation? After resting, the entire group of people advanced forward. All along the way, while being cautious, Liu Hong talked and laughed, and everyone also had a smile on their face. And no need to speak about narrowing the distance with Liu Hong, Big Lu was completely submissive to Liu Hong now. The big fellow was clearly injured, but he still excitedly continued to rush forward to open the path in the front with flushed with success expression as if he had already obtained the inheritance of this Paradise Realm. Ye Chuan stuck to his old way observing every move of Liu Hong. On the surface, he maintained his composure, but he was secretly even more alert and guarding against this very calculating vixen. When the entire group of people was talking and laughing relaxing to some extent, danger came once again. Big Lu who was walking in the front suddenly stopped and was absolutely terrified. In front, there was a huge boulder on the path. And under the attentive gaze of everyone, this boulder cracked little by little, and before the big fellow hidden inside came out, they could hear the ear-deafening tiger roaring sound. Chapter 187: My courage is very small Chapter 187: My courage is very small ¡°Be careful, it¡¯s a tiger-headed golem.¡± Liu Hong exclaimed and became the first person to jump on a stone on the roadside. Although she walked behind the troops but her eyes were sharp. She was able to see the big fellow hidden inside the boulder from the crack. And just after she had shouted, the boulder on the road exploded as a huge tiger-headed golem rushed out. It was even bigger compared to dog-headed golem of just a moment ago and its entire body was also similarly a large piece of stone lump. ¡°Be careful, this is a big fellow!¡± ¡°Use flying swords to stab its eyes!¡± Everyone jumped on the stones on either side of the road in succession, then wielding their flying swords, they send out their flying swords to attack. And as for those who didn¡¯t have flying swords, they threw stones at it. This time, Big Lu who had been walking in the front also didn¡¯t dare to be conceited and arrogant, he obediently jumped on the stone, dodging the spearhead. Now, the main attackers were Liu Hong, Na Shan, Na Shui and Tuoba Xiaoniao, these four people. As for Ye Chuan, he didn¡¯t have a flying sword, even if he had, he wouldn¡¯t have used it easily. Now, he was merely standing on the sidelines becoming a bystander with the excuse of providing support from the back. Since they already had experience of dealing with a dog-headed golem, this time, the entire group of people were much calmer. Facing 6-7 meters tall tiger-headed golem, although they were still nervous, but they at least knew what should they do. Four flying swords circled through the sky and at the opportune moment, they would initiate a fierce and swift attack. The cultivation of Tuoba Xiaoniao was not considered high, merely was Rank 4 Xiushi, but she was dexterous and extremely intelligent. Very quickly, she was able to keep up with the rhythm of Liu Hong and others. The four flying swords combined into one forming a new swords formation. And while attacking, these four people were constantly changing their positions to dodge the attack of this tiger-headed golem. As for Big Lu with a sturdy body, he would rush forward to help the person whoever got into danger. An ear-deafening roar resounded one after another. Compared to the dog-headed golem, this tiger-headed golem was stronger, faster and even had the ability to jump on the stone, so its overall combat capability was much higher. But, its speed wasn¡¯t able to keep up with the speed of flying sword, so the attacks of the group would frequently succeed. Still, although it was stabbed around its eyes, its eyes were still fine, moreover, it attacked even more ferociously under its anger as if its stone lump body had an inexhaustible amount of power. This caused the entire group of people to repeatedly be in danger while dodging. ¡°We cannot continue like this, lead it to that stone forest, we will trip it there!¡± Liu Hong skillfully dodged the attack of the tiger-headed golem, and stepping on the flying sword, she jumped to another stone, then looking at this very powerful tiger-headed golem, she commanded as she became more and more nervous. The tiger-headed golem had inexhaustible strength but everyone wasn¡¯t the same. If they continue to dogfight like this, they would exhaust their strength. After that, they would be in trouble with two choices, either die in the hands of Myriad Beast Forest¡¯s tiger-headed golem or give up halfway and withdraw, but she couldn¡¯t accept either case. Using flying swords to stab its eyes, the difficulty was somewhat big, but the danger was relatively lower as if the attack didn¡¯t work, then they could immediately withdraw anywhere changing the position. But if they wanted to trip this tiger-headed golem, then the danger was relatively higher as they had to run in a straight line, and if they were accidentally stepped by the tiger-headed golem, then they would change into a meat pulp. Naturally, Liu Hong looked towards Ye Chuan who was providing support from the back. At the crucial moment, it was the turn of Ye Chuan to make a move again. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, my cultivation is very weak, and I was merely lucky last time. This tiger-headed golem¡¯s legs are so thick¡­..¡± Ye Chuan somewhat awkwardly said. Just a moment ago, he made a move to get rid of the dog-headed golem, but the small crystal man however landed on the hand of Liu Hong. Although he didn¡¯t vie for it, but this matter had made him unhappy. Now, if she wants to make him take a risk and get rid of this even more ferocious tiger-headed golem, then that naturally wouldn¡¯t be so cheap. ¡°Whatever treasure we find in it, consider it yours.¡± Liu Hong was unusually straightforward. She also knew how to make other people exert themselves at the critical moment. That¡¯s more like it! Ye Chuan nodded, then he began to circulate four Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, but before he could make a move, a tall figure stepping on a flying sword brush past him who said, ¡°Brat, go and attract the golem, then just lead it to the stone forest, and leave everything else to me!¡± Na Shui, one of the trusted subordinates under Liu Hong, the instant he brushed past Ye Chuan stepping on the flying sword, he coldly looked at Ye Chuan. Compared to that dog-headed golem, this tiger-headed golem was bigger in size and even fiercer, so he was sure that even more powerful treasure was sealed within its body. Perhaps, it was an ancient times¡¯ treasure, or might also be another small crystal man which recorded cultivation technique that was even more powerful. If he was lucky, then he might obtain top-earth grade cultivation technique or even a heaven grade cultivation technique! In order to let Ye Chuan exert himself, Liu Hong was very straightforward, but the disciple Na Shui of Five Style Sect under her however wasn¡¯t. He couldn¡¯t wait to have all the treasures of this Paradise Realm in his embrace. His potful of meat, he was reluctant to part even a bowl, no, let alone a bowl, he was reluctant to part even a mouthful! ¡°Brother Na Shui, are you sure?¡± Ye Chuan touched his nose and looking at the disciple Na Shui of Five Style Sect who was standing not far away, he said with a smile yet not a smile. ¡°What, you don¡¯t even have the courage to draw the tiger-headed golem?¡± Na Shui asked a question in reply. He had a deep prejudice against Ye Chuan. Before Ye Chuan had arrived, only they brothers obtained the warm flower-like smile of Miss Liu Hong and she would repeatedly say them to protect her, this made their desires to flourish, and they earnestly wished to get on intimate terms with her as quickly as possible. But after Ye Chuan arrived, all of their good dreams popped like a soap bubble. Liu Hong still smiled, but she clearly was treating them more coldly now, no wonder these Na brothers had a bad impression on Ye Chuan! ¡°Something like that, I have stated, I am very weak, so my courage is also very small.¡± Ye Chuan again touched his nose then looking at Liu Hong on one side, he continued, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, since the person under you said so, I have to try reluctantly. But after we get rid of this golem and find the treasure, you will not say that your words don¡¯t count, will you?¡± ¡°No, now go.¡± Liu Hong felt somewhat stuffy in her chest. Ye Chuan¡¯s this question was too direct, didn¡¯t he know how to be a bit tactful? But, honestly speaking, she truly had other plans, she thought that after getting rid of tiger-headed golem and finding its treasure, she would forcibly use some logic to bestow it to Na Shui, but now that Ye Chuan had already asked so, it was no use scheming, she was forced to give up and wait for next time. ¡°Good, it is better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously!¡± Ye Chuan smiled then suddenly jumped down from the stone, unfortunately, he happened to land behind the tiger-headed golem. The big fellow made up of a stone lump turned around, nearly colliding against Ye Chuan. If it had collided head-on, then he would have changed into a ground meat. ¡°Be careful!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao screamed and subconsciously stepping on her flying sword, she flew forward wanting to help Ye Chuan stall this ferocious tiger-headed golem. Big Lu also carried a big stone and threw it. Only Liu Hong, Na Shan and Na Shui stand motionless. Roar! The tiger-headed golem opened its big mouth and issued a loud roar, then ferociously swatted. After chasing for a long time, finally, a prey fell in front of it, so it wanted to swat Ye Chuan to a meat pulp. Chapter 188: Do not pretend to be thighs without skill Chapter 188: Do not pretend to be thighs without skill ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao screamed. Seeing it was already too late for Ye Chuan to dodge and was about to swat into meat pulp, she closed her eyes not daring to look, as her heart couldn¡¯t bear to look. Although Ye Chuan was hateful, but he, after all, was teammate now, moreover, didn¡¯t he just save her life? Bang, a big crater appeared on the ground. With tiger-headed golem¡¯s hand hitting the ground, the entire ground shook for a good while and clouds of dust flew up. Eh, what about people? Tiger-headed golem had its eyes wide open and even Tuoba Xiaoniao was also the same. Looking inside the crater, there was nothing, let alone the corpse of Ye Chuan, there wasn¡¯t even a drop of blood. ¡°Hai, here, let me see whether the head of this fellow is made up of stone or not?¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s voice suddenly came from the top of a boulder at the side of tiger-headed golem¡¯s head. At an unknown time, he had already climbed to a boulder at the side. The tiger-headed golem confusedly raised its head seemingly not understanding how Ye Chuan disappeared all of a sudden and arrived at the top of a boulder. Ye Chuan jumped off the boulder while holding a thousand jin stone in his hand, and he ferociously smashed the forehead of this tiger-headed golem with the stone. ¡°Good, very good!¡± ¡°Well done!¡± Liu Hong and Big Lu cheered. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was low, his this move showed that his guts was sufficiently big. For the most part, even Big Lu didn¡¯t dare to get so close to the tiger-headed golem. Even the eyes of Na Shan and Na Shui shone, and although they didn¡¯t say with their mouth, but they somewhat admired Ye Chuan in their heart. As for Tuoba Xiaoniao, her pair of red eyes were also shining while re-examining Ye Chuan, this wicked man. After getting smashed by one thousand jin stone, moreover, ferociously getting smashed on the forehead, who could endure? The faces of Liu Hong and others lit up with pleasure. At least, with their cultivation, they would be unable to endure this, even an expert of Daoist Master realm might not necessarily endure this. But, the tiger-headed golem was able to resist. Even though the stone in the hand of Ye Chuan was disintegrated, the head of tiger-headed golem however was fine without even a small crack. The head of this fellow, not only was made up of stone but was much harder compared to normal stones. ¡°Attack, use flying swords to cover me!¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t take the advantage to initiate a fatal attack rather retreated quickly, rushing towards the not-far-off stone forest. Circulating four Heaven Swallowing Talismans in full power, it was not necessarily impossible to make this tiger-headed golem fall, but, since Na Shui, the disciple of Five Style Sect, had already said that as long as he drew it to the stone forest, he could leave everything else to him, so why should he take more troubles? Ye Chuan coldly smiled. He wanted to see how this Na Shui would deal with this tiger-headed golem. Roar! The tiger-headed golem roared loudly then ferociously chase after Ye Chuan. Although its movement was slow, its one step covered more than 20 meters, keeping in step with Ye Chuan. After Ye Chuan had ferociously smashed its head, although the tiger-headed golem didn¡¯t suffer any injuries, but as if it felt pain, it flew into a rage, and not looking at Liu Hong and other people, its gaze was fixed at only Ye Chuan. Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh sounds suddenly rang out. Liu Hong, Na Shan and Na Shui finally made a move. They immediately speed up their flying swords to tie up the tiger-headed golem that was pursuing relentlessly behind Ye Chuan. Although they disliked Ye Chuan, but now, in any case, they were on the same boat, a glory of one was the glory of all and a loss of one was the loss of all. At the very least, if Ye Chuan was to die, then they would lack a person that would attract the stone lumps. Tuoba Xiaoniao and Big Lu also made the move, but regardless of sharp flying swords or heavy stones, this tiger-headed golem completely ignored them and stubbornly chased after Ye Chuan with the determination to kill him. Ye Chuan¡¯s that attack of just now had thoroughly ignited flames of fury of this big fellow. And with the distance between them decreasing more and more, it stretched out its big hand to catch Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan seemed to be trying his best and his speed suddenly increased a bit, dodging the big hand of the tiger-headed golem. Shortly afterwards, he began to flicker left and right running in a ¡®zigzag¡¯ manner. Like that, the tiger-headed golem that was closely chasing behind began to find it difficult. If it took one big step, then it would accidentally overtake Ye Chuan and Ye Chuan would turn back; if it took a bit smaller step, it would never be able to keep up with the speed of Ye Chuan. No matter what it did, it wasn¡¯t able to grab Ye Chuan. When Ye Chuan felt that this tiger-headed golem¡¯s speed had slowed down, he would either slow down like he giving the other party a bit of hope or would simply stop. He would even pick up a stone then throw it towards the tiger-headed golem. Although the power wasn¡¯t big, but his every throw would accurately smash the face of this tiger-headed golem. There were quite a few times when it had wanted to give up chasing Ye Chuan, but its flames of fury were ignited again and again. And after working with perseverance, slowly, Ye Chuan lead it to enter the neighborhood stone forest. Inside Myriad Beast Forest, there were innumerable stones and a curved narrow winding trail to pass through among them. In addition, there furthermore were different sized stone forests. Inside the stones forest, the path was even narrower and some places even had a dead end. The tiger-headed golem hotly pursued and fiercely attacked, but after entering the stone forest, it discovered that after setting foot on a narrow winding road, even if it wanted to turn around, it was very difficult, moreover, Ye Chuan who was always running in front of it had disappeared all of a sudden without a trace. ¡°Hahaha, brother Na Shui, luckily I didn¡¯t fail to accomplish the task, now I will see your move!¡± Ye Chuan laughed and raising his head, he shouted, and seeing Na Shui seriously stepping on the flying sword and rushing over, he still smiled, merely his smile was rather cold. ¡°Look clearly!¡± Na Shui suddenly rushed out and hiding between the two boulders, he stretched out his legs, then put forth the strength to trip tiger-headed golem. Tiger-headed golem who was wholeheartedly looking for Ye Chuan to tear him into pieces wasn¡¯t alert so it quickly bumped against the leg. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± A sad and shrill blood-curdling scream resounded in the Myriad Beast Forest. The ambushed tiger-headed golem was completely fine, and Ye Chuan who was running in the front turned around and was rather stunned. Na Shui who had considered that his attack would succeed however was so filled with grief that he wished he was dead. His entire right leg below the knee was completely broken. ¡°Second brother, second brother¡­¡­¡± Five Style Sect¡¯s disciple Na Shan rushed over and dragged away Na Shui who was feeling so much pain that he wanted to die. Carefully looking, his life wasn¡¯t in a serious danger, but his one leg was completely disabled. It was not the dislocation of the bones rather the joint was completely broken into pieces. Only the layer of skin was connecting the entire right leg, moreover, since the ointments to set broken bones were useless, it must be amputated immediately. After looking carefully, Na Shan still couldn¡¯t bear to raise his hand, after all, they were brothers. Instead, Liu Hong was decisive enough, after coldly snorting, she wielded the flying sword, and then the right leg of Na Shan was cut off at the base, and the latter instantly screamed. ¡°Ai, truly is pitiful, he was too careless! Such a big stone lump, directly using your leg to trip it, how is that possible? Must have used a stone pillar!¡± Ye Chuan came over and looking at the deathly pale Na Shui, he shook his head, and at an unknown time, he was already dragging a stone pillar. ¡°Noble son Ye, did you use this stone pillar to trip that dog-headed golem?¡± Liu Hong asked. ¡°Yes, didn¡¯t you see it? This was too careless, since brother Na Shui said leave everything to him, I thought that he had some weapon even harder than this stone pillar, ai¡­.., too careless, too unworthy!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and had the appearance of sympathy and deep concern. As for Liu Hong, she closed her mouth and felt a bit stifled. Chapter 189: Small Crystal Man Chapter 189: Small Crystal Man Tuoba Xiaoniao and Big Lu also came over and looking at Na Shui with only one leg, they were inwardly apprehensive. Na Shui who had volunteered to go and trip tiger-headed golem was truly unlucky. Instantly, he lost his one good leg. Liu Hong was also sufficiently ruthless, she cut off the right leg of Na Shui at the base without even batting her eyelid! When all of them were watching Na Shui, they suddenly felt quake under their foot. Earthquake? Tuoba Xiaoniao looked down and exclaimed. The tiger-headed golem that was drawn inside the stone forest where it was difficult for it to turn around, don¡¯t know how but it was climbing on the stone, and because its weight was too big, the entire stone was shaking. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± ¡°Quickly run!¡± The entire group of people turned pale with fright, then hastily fled to another stone. Liu Hong who was the captain was the first to run. Even Na Shui with only one leg who was still wailing mournfully just now also used his remaining leg to hop, running to one side. Now, he looked pale and his entire body was trembling. This golem was not only practically invulnerable, it could even climb a tree and jump? The tiger-headed golem who had climbed the stone terrified everyone. Compared to that dog-headed golem before, this fellow was must more powerful! Roar! The tiger-headed golem roared angrily and chasing after Liu Hong, its huge body suddenly jumped high to another stone. Now, there was only a meter distance between it and Liu Hong. Every time, she went out, delicate and exquisite Liu Hong would dress gorgeously, and usually be in limelight. This time, she however had a bad luck. Since she was too eye-catching, she had to pay the price. ¡°Attack, stop it, draw it away, quick!¡± Liu Hong was so scared that she fled, and behind her, a huge stone lump was pursuing her relentlessly. Every stone, it stepped, all would shake seemingly wanting to collapse, but it didn¡¯t stop chasing after Liu Hong. Bewitchingly charming Liu Hong who was adept at scheming was so scared that she was sweating profusely and she was so tense that her heart was beating very fast. Big Lu rushed up first and tossed a heavy boulder. Unfortunately, although this boulder could make Xiushi realm expert vomit blood if smashed, but smashing this tiger-headed golem, it didn¡¯t even feel an itch, moreover, it didn¡¯t stop its action. Two sharp flying swords whistled through the air and stabbed towards the eyes of the tiger-headed golem. Tuoba Xiaoniao who was hiding at one side and Na Shui of Five Style Sect also attacked, trying to tie up tiger-headed golem who was relentlessly pursuing Liu Hong. The eyes were the biggest weakness of this kind of golems, unfortunately, although the target they were looking for was correct, but their power was clearly insufficient, or to say, the tiger-headed golem was too tough. The tiger-headed golem raised its doughty arm and protected its eyes, then ignoring those flying swords, it continued to chase after Liu Hong. As for Liu Hong who was adept at camouflaging in former days, now she was in a sorry plight and was gasping for breath. There were so many people that weren¡¯t running, but why was it persistently chasing her? Hurriedly looking back, she saw tiger-headed golem approaching nearer and nearer. Now, she was tense to the extreme and also felt incomparable injustice. In order to shake off tiger-headed golem, she had especially bypassed from the side of Big Lu and Tuoba Xiaoniao, trying to lead the trouble away. But to her surprise, this stone lump was completely set on her. ¡°Na Shui, Na Shan, you two trashes, what are you two doing? Noble son Ye, what about noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong anxiously spoke incoherently, and hurriedly looked all around. Na Shan, Big Lu and Tuoba Xiaoniao had made their move with all their strength to help her tie down this terrifying tiger-headed golem. Even Na Shui who had borne severe injury had stood up gritting his teeth and used his flying sword to help. But Ye Chuan was missing without a trace, at an unknown time, he had already disappeared without a trace. That bastard! Liu Hong cursed inwardly, and under the purse and attack of the tiger-headed golem, she repeatedly got in danger. ¡°Hey, over here, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, I am over here, come over!¡± When Liu Hong was fleeing in confusion by any path and was about to reach the edge of the stone forest, Ye Chuan finally appeared. He was standing on an especially tall stone a bit far away, beckoning her to come over. Liu Hong gritted her teeth and desperately rushed towards Ye Chuan. She had carefully sensed Ye Chuan and determined that Ye Chuan truly was only Rank 3 Xiushi, but for an unknown reason, she always felt that Ye Chuan was far stronger than how he appeared on the surface. She always felt he was deeply hidden, so with the appearance of Ye Chuan, she subconsciously rushed towards him. Even if Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t stop this tiger-headed golem, at least she could use him to block it, couldn¡¯t she? Liu Hong who was accustomed to scheming even when running for her life, she was still scheming in her heart. Liu Hong stepping on the flying swords flints across the stones while rushing towards Ye Chuan at her full speed. Behind, after seeing the appearance of Ye Chuan, this tiger-headed golem roared and suddenly accelerated. Now, it was unexpectedly faster than Liu Hong who was stepping on the flying sword. Just after Liu Hong stepped on the stone where Ye Chuan was standing, the tiger-headed golem also heavily landed on the adjacent stone, then jumped over. ¡°Be careful!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao and others screamed and all of them rush forward to save them. Roar! The tiger-headed golem roared once again showing its domineering air as if it was the overload of this Myriad Beast Forest. ¡°Three¡­¡­, two¡­¡­, one¡­¡­, fall!¡± Ye Chuan indifferently looked at this murderous tiger-headed golem. The entire group turned pale with fright, but Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid even when tiger-headed golem was only one step away from him, moreover, he had a sneer on his face. And after he spoke, the stone under the tiger-headed golem that was continuously shaking suddenly collapsed, followed by the surrounding stones also collapsed as if the chain reaction, burying the tiger-headed golem underneath them. Taking the advantage of the time when tiger-headed golem was chasing Liu Hong, Ye Chuan intentionally chose the stone at the highest place, making small mechanisms below the stones. Although nothing would happen if an ordinary person stepped on it, but if tiger-headed golem with such huge build stepped on it, it nevertheless was like digging its own grave. The build the of the tiger-headed golem was very huge, but, it wasn¡¯t able to withstand the crushing of dozens of boulders. Ye Chuan had carefully selected this place. Every boulder was fifty to sixty meters tall and their weight was even more terrifying. The sudden collapse of all of them completely crushed the tiger-headed golem to death! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, are you all right?¡± Ye Chuan size up panting Liu Hong, and looking at her voluptuous chest, he evilly smiled and continued, ¡°Hereafter, other than in the special occasion, don¡¯t dress up so sexily. Arousing the internal heat of a golem, it would be problematic.¡± ¡°Humph¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong snorted, she always felt that Ye Chuan was rather not exerting himself. He clearly had a way at an earlier time to get rid of this tiger-headed golem, but he persistently waited until the final moment just to see her in tight straits. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, quickly come, there is a small crystal man inside, quick!¡± Na Shan of Five Style Sect¡¯s voice came from the pile of stones. The tiger-headed golem had just been crushed by the pile of stones but this fellow had already rushed ahead and stretching his hand inside the crack, he had already felt about inside the tiger-headed golem. Chapter 190: Lesson still not enough Chapter 190: Lesson still not enough The voice of Na Shan suddenly attracted the attention of everyone, and everyone went over, even Na Shui who had only one leg was no exception. Enduring the pain, he hopped over. In the small crystal man found within the body of the dog-headed golem, there was a record of a powerful earth grade cultivation technique. This tiger-headed golem was so strong, so what about the small crystal man extracted out of this golem? Everyone was full of expectations. Ye Chuan also was somewhat excited. The cultivation technique came from the world beyond the highest heavens might be the cultivation technique personally left behind by Demonic Dragon, so even though he had once mastered three thousand techniques, he also couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. Comprehending the technique of the world beyond the highest heaven, he could pry on the trace of the profound mysteries of the world beyond the highest heavens and set foot on an even brilliant pinnacle. For Ye Chuan, who had concealed the heaven with his hand in his previous life, this technique was more attractive compared to the usual techniques and treasures. ¡°Yes, there is a small crystal man, but it is bigger than previous one and is somewhat light cyan in color. It is a cyan small crystal man. Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, look!¡± Na Shan of Five Style Sect was endlessly excited, taking out the cyan small crystal man from inside the cracked chest of the tiger-headed golem. The small crystal man found inside the dog-headed golem was white in color, and although the material was crystal but it was somewhat greyish white; the small crystal man found inside the tiger-headed golem however was cyan in color, cyan without any impurity, one could tell that it was of high quality even with a single glance. In addition, there were no runes around cyan small crystal man, merely were many red specks and red lines, appearing even more profound technique. ¡°Master, this is also the technique from the world beyond the highest heaven. I can sense, the aura of the world beyond the highest heaven is even denser in this cyan small crystal man.¡± From inside the Cyan Lotus Lamp, old evil spirit Hei Kui who had possessed the puppet doll shouted and his voice exploded in the mind of Ye Chuan. Sensing the aura of cyan small crystal man, this old evil spirit was even more excited than Ye Chuan. Liu Hong took the cyan small crystal man from the hand of Na Shan, then carefully observed it. The entire cyan small crystal man was engraved meticulously. Holding it, she could feel indistinct cold current seeping into her body which slowly circulated in a profound path. This path, it was indistinctly similar to the red lines of this cyan small crystal man. Sensing it carefully for a little while, Liu Hong determined that a technique was indeed recorded in this cyan small crystal man, moreover, it was a very profound and amazing technique. It might be top-earth grade or even a heaven grade technique! Heaven grade technique, even in the entire Five Style Sect, there were only a very few of them! If she was to bring back this technique to her sect, then without a doubt, she would earn the greatest credit. At that time, no need to mention about Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, temporarily replacing her father to administer Five Style Sect also wouldn¡¯t be a problem, as no-one would object her. And even if they couldn¡¯t find her father in this Paradise Realm, after coming out, she could logically become the new Sect Master! Liu Hong quickly made up her mind, this cyan small crystal man, she would have it! Until now, why did she gorgeously dressed up and wandered about among numerous sect¡¯s disciples? It was to help her father firmly grasp Five Style Sect in his hand. From youngest to eldest, she had an innate desire for power and authority, she absolutely couldn¡¯t tolerate losing her power to others. Now, after her father was drawn into Paradise Realm, his whereabouts unknown and she doesn¡¯t know whether he was dead or alive, so if she didn¡¯t think of a way to strengthen her control over the sect, then it would be troublesome as other elders would definitely seize the chance to take over the power. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, seen enough? If you have seen enough, then return it to me.¡± Ye Chuan walked over and with a smile yet not a smile on his face, he looked at Liu Hong who was reluctant to part with cyan small crystal man and continued, ¡°Just a moment ago, you have already said the treasure inside this tiger-headed golem is mine. Big Apprentice-Sister Liu, you are a captain, being so generous is befitting your position, you will not back out, will you?¡± ¡°This¡­¡­¡± The complexion of Liu Hong turned red. Ye Chuan had spoken her thoughts so she was somewhat embarrassed in her heart. She couldn¡¯t hand over this thing, but with Ye Chuan here, what should she do? Liu Hong slurred, and looking left and right, she pretended to not hear, then seeing Na Shui with only one leg, she suddenly had a plan. ¡°Noble son Ye, I don¡¯t want even better things, merely, to get rid of this tiger-headed golem, brother Na Shui bore severe injury, and even though his contribution isn¡¯t the largest, at least his credit for hard work is greater than anyone else. Everyone can see that brother Na Shui has only one leg now, so how about we give this treasure to him?¡± ¡°I agree, brother Na Shui pressed forward without the regard for safety, if it was not for him taking the initiative to go into the battle, then it would be another person with only one leg instead of him.¡± Na Shan of Five Style Sect immediately agreed. ¡°This cyan small crystal man is mine!¡± Na Shui said in his hoarse voice while gloomily looking towards Ye Chuan with hatred. It was clear that one was unable to trip the tiger-headed golem stretching his leg, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t stop him, instead, let him lose one of his legs. He was sure that this was intentional! The complexion of Na Shui was sinister and ruthless. He will settle this account with Ye Chuan in the future. The tiger-headed golem was already dead, and he couldn¡¯t settle accounts with the dead, so naturally, he shifted all his anger to Ye Chuan. Originally, he was only unhappy with Ye Chuan, but now he hated him to the marrow of his bones. Liu Hong cast an amorous glance at Big Lu. ¡°This, according to principle¡­¡­¡± Big Lu stuttered and scratched the back of his head. The thing that was already agreed to give to Ye Chuan, now giving to Na Shui, he understood that this was naturally wrong. But, the opinion of Liu Hong was also very clear and seeing her watery big eyes, he was unable to utter the latter half of the sentence. And then, stuttering for a little while, he braced himself and said against his will: ¡°But, brother Na Shui¡¯s condition of injury is so serious, he lost his one leg, so giving it to him is also good.¡± This idiot really is easy to deal with! Liu Hong looked at Big Lu in all smiles, then looking towards Tuoba Xiaoniao, she asked: ¡°Xiaoniao, you say, who should get this treasure this time?¡± ¡°I abstain from voting.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao looked at Na Shui with only one leg and looked at Ye Chuan, then abstained from voting. In a group of six people, four had already agreed to give the cyan small crystal man to Na Shui. Minority obeys the majority, even if she had opposed, it was also useless, even if she had the heart of help Ye Chuan, she was powerless this time. ¡°Noble son Ye, look¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong looked at Ye Chuan, clearly wanted to seize this cyan small crystal man by every means possible. With Big Lu at her side, she exerted pressure, but pretended to be in an awkward position. She showed off her cleverness even when taking the cheap advantage. ¡°You are the captain, you have the final say, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, you have already decided, still, why are you asking me?¡± Ye Chuan was completely disappointed with this woman Liu Hong. He looked at Na Shui who had a sinister complexion and indifferently said: ¡°Brother Na Shui, congratulation, you obtain the cyan small crystal man, now, breaking through to Daoist Master realm will no longer be a dream. Merely, there are many red specks and red lines on the cyan small crystal man, moreover, it is spread all over, so lacking a leg, can you still cultivate?¡± The more Ye Chuan saw Liu Hong, Na Shan and Na Shui, the more not pleasing to the eye they were. Have only one leg, and Na Shui, this fellow still want to snatch the cyan small crystal man that belongs to him. It seems, this fellow still hadn¡¯t learned enough lesson, wanting to lose both legs! ¡°Humph, I don¡¯t need your concern!¡± Na Shui coldly snorted, and taking the cyan small crystal man from Liu Hong, he was wild with joy, wholeheartedly looking it. Chapter 191: Hidden Treasure Forest Chapter 191: Hidden Treasure Forest Nearly after an hour, the entire group of people set out again. Two small crystal men nominally were given to Na Shan and Na Shui respectively, but in fact, they ultimately fell into the hand of Liu Hong. Now, Liu Hong, who was already bewitchingly charming in former days, appeared even more gorgeous, greatly charming Na Shan, Na Shui and Big Lu until they were completely infatuated. Throughout the way, they did everything to please her. As for Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiaoniao, they secretly distanced themselves from Liu Hong, slowly falling on the back of the team. Because of Liu Hong, two of them unwittingly walked side by side and had common ground for the first time. Walking side by side, Ye Chuan discovered endearing little bird Tuoba Xiaoniao who appeared gentle and weak on the surface, in fact, the balance of her figure was pretty good. She wasn¡¯t tall like Zhu Sijia and also not as plump as Liu Hong, but her body was lithe and graceful. The places that should be sunken were sunken and the places that should be protruding were protruding, without any obscurity. ¡°Boy, what are you looking?¡± Sensing the repetitive gaze of Ye Chuan wandering around her body, Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s complexion slightly reddened and somewhat angrily said. ¡°I am wondering, if your father had brought you instead of that Big Bird pretending to be you when coming to Cloud Mist Sect to propose a marriage alliance at that time, then how wonderful that would be. Perhaps, now, you and I might have already had child.¡± Ye Chuan replied with a bad smile on his face. ¡°Ye Chuan, you bastard!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao was embarrassed and also angry, then lifting her leg, she thought to run wanting to go far away from Ye Chuan. Just opened his mouth and he mentioned a child, what kind of person was this? His skin was truly thick enough, and he truly was sufficiently shameless! ¡°Don¡¯t run, I am merely joking.¡± Ye Chuan moved sideways and blocked thin-skinned Tuoba Xiaoniao, then taking a quick glance at Liu Hong walking in the front, he whispered, ¡°Xiaoniao, working together with them is meaningless. If encountered monsters, then we have to take risks and rush forward, but if found good things, all of them will be theirs. How about, only us two form a team and walk another way.¡± Ye Chuan was completely disappointed with Liu Hong, this very calculating and also stingy woman. He didn¡¯t want to play with them. Inside Myriad Beast Forest, there were many complicated narrow winding trails and also many paths. ¡°This¡­¡­, there are more people here, so I think it¡¯s better to travel together with them.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao was somewhat perturbed. She also didn¡¯t want to travel together with Liu Hong, but looking at Ye Chuan, she discarded this thought. Compared to Liu Hong, she was even more not at ease with Ye Chuan. Traveling together with Liu Hong and others, at most, she would only get fewer benefits, but if she was to travel together with only Ye Chuan, then perhaps, she might be unable to protect her innocence, truly becoming his wife and even bearing his child. Other people entered Paradise Ream empty-handed and return with all kinds of treasures. And she also entered empty-handed but have a child when returning, then wouldn¡¯t that be the greatest joke? Tuoba Xiaoniao trembled all over and looked towards Ye Chuan full of vigilance, then quickly distanced herself from him. The more she thought the more terrified she became. ¡°Ai, am I so terrible?¡± Ye Chuan sighed and looking at Tuoba Xiaoniao who resembled a frightened lamb, he said: ¡°As a matter of fact, I am a pure person, everybody says so.¡± ¡°Yes, you are too pure, pure evil person.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao turned sideways and slipped away from the side of Ye Chuan, then very quickly, she ran away, leaving behind her lithe and graceful back view and faint fragrance. She didn¡¯t dare to stay alone with Ye Chuan. ¡°Heh heh, evil person? I like it, but, one day, I will get you, Xiaoniao.¡± Ye Chuan evilly smiled and looking at Tuoba Xiaoniao quickly running behind Liu Hong, he suddenly felt like it wasn¡¯t urgent to leave. In his previous lifetime, when he concealed the heaven with his hand, what kind of women he hadn¡¯t seen? Very calculating Liu Hong as well as proud, aloof and indifferent Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he was not interested in them, even if he played with them, he wouldn¡¯t take them seriously. On the contrary, junior apprentice-sister Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, they were his type. And being together with this type of women, he naturally would enjoy and could also slowly **. Women that can be ** were real women. ** was the most have women taste of women! [T/N: ** in raw] The corner of Ye Chuan¡¯s mouth curled up becoming an evil smile as he followed behind. Under the command of Liu Hong, the entire group of people slowly went deep into dangerous Myriad Beast Forest. Generally, after walking every section, they encountered all kinds of golems. Since she had already experienced the sore straits two times, Liu Hong was a lot calmer. Flying swords stabbed eyes, tripping, digging holes, making trivial mechanisms at the bottom of the stones¡­¡­, all kinds of means emerged in an endless stream. Moreover, combining these means, they beheaded each and every stone lumps they encountered. Although this woman was very calculating and double-dealing, but in respect to strategy and command, she indeed had a skill. Under her command, the division of labor was clear, and the efficiency of beheading golems became higher and higher. Liu Hong was responsible for command, Big Lu was responsible to support, Na Shan, Na Shui and Tuoba Xiaoniao were responsible for the main attack, they were to attack the vital parts with flying sword from far away, and as for Ye Chuan, he was especially responsible for leading the enemy. He had to lead each and every golem to the place where everybody was lying to ambush. Some golems were empty, but most of them had different treasures. Some had pills, some had armors or flying swords and so on treasures, and not many had small crystal men but all of them had cultivation technique recorded on them which could make people covert them. No one could see the ends of the Myriad Beast Forest, and only Gods knows how many golems were hidden inside this forest, and rather than calling it stone forest, it was better off calling hidden treasure forest. The entire group of people quickly became enthusiastic from the restlessness and nervousness of the beginning. Now, they took the initiative to look for all kinds of golems. Liu Hong, relying on her captain position, as well as with the absolute support of Na Shan and Na Shui, she took the overwhelming majority of treasures. At evening, after they had hunted no less than 17 golems, she finally, as if squeezing toothpaste out of a tube, gave a bit to Ye Chuan and other people with great difficulty. Big Lu got a heavy hammer in his share. Whether it had some special power or not, no one could tell for the time being, but it was more than 20,000 jin heavy. It was rather hard for even Big Lu with a heavy build to brandish it, but its power was great. The ordinary golems couldn¡¯t even withstand one firm smash of this hammer, and their body would crack. Originally, he was responsible for support, but after obtaining this heavy hammer, he gradually became the main attacker and began attacking golems in the front. Tuoba Xiaoniao got a black flying sword in her share. A dark light was wandering around on the surface of this flying sword and not only its flying speed was astonishingly fast, when it stabbed golems, the stone would melt as it actually had corrosion attack. Its might was far higher than ordinary flying swords. After obtaining this flying sword, the combat ability of Tuoba Xiaoniao vastly increased. Seeing this, Liu Hong regretted all of a sudden. Unfortunately, even if she wished to take it back it was already too late, so she could only grit her teeth and swallow her regret. Big Lu and Tuoba Xiaoniao only got a piece of treasure in their share, and as for Ye Chuan, he got two pieces. Liu Hong gave one additional treasure with the pretext of compensation, merely, one was ordinary wrist guard and another one was a fish scale armor, both were ordinary stuff. As for truly good things, all were collected by Liu Hong for herself. Every time a small crystal man appeared, she would immediately snatch it. As for the treasures he obtained, casually taking a quick glance at them, he directly gave his fish scaled armor to Tuoba Xiaoniao and wrist guard to Big Lu. These two things, when she was giving out, Liu Hong was still rather reluctant, Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t even look at them properly. Although they were hunting golems together, all good things were seized by Liu Hong, so she cannot blame him for what he was about to do. A thought rose in the heart of Ye Chuan. Chapter 192: Human-faced snake Chapter 192: Human-faced snake At night, the entire group of people camped on the spot inside Myriad Beast Forest. The entire day, they face danger, again and again, so everybody was exhausted and even were injured. Now, they urgently needed rest. Liu Hong also made the best use of her time to rest, but she had the harvest of today hidden inside her tent, and especially, those small crystal men, after looking at them for a while, she was exhilarated and she immediately called everyone together. ¡°Everyone, just a moment ago, I sensed the aura of my father once again, he is behind this Myriad Beast Forest. Perhaps, he has encountered some dangers, his aura is getting weaker and weaker, so if we don¡¯t hurry to save him, then it might be too late. Tonight, the moonlight is not bad, how about we hurry on with our journey?¡± With red eyes, Liu Hong said with sad appearance. If she purposed to continue forward to hunt golems looking for more treasures, then all might not necessarily agree, but if she used the pretext of saving her father, then who can refuse her? Very calculating Liu Hong had always been good at using the weakness of normal human feelings. ¡°I agree.¡± ¡°Setting out at night is also fine, I don¡¯t have any objection.¡± ¡­¡­ Sure enough, like she had expected, Na Shan, Na Shui and Big Lu agreed in succession. As for Tuoba Xiaoniao, she hesitated and said nothing. Myriad Beast Forest was already dangerous enough at daytime, and when hurrying on with journey at night, if they run into an overlord level golem, then how would that be fine? Tuoba Xiaoniao was heavy-hearted, but seeing Na brothers and Big Lu had already agreed, what else could she say. ¡°Noble son Ye, what about you?¡± Liu Hong looked towards Ye Chuan, and a trace of pallid light flashed past her eyes, now, only Ye Chuan had yet to answer. ¡°Do as you please, in any case, it doesn¡¯t matter what I say.¡± Against the expectation of Liu Hong, Ye Chuan agreed without the slightest obstruction. ¡°Well, then it¡¯s decided. But, the night is different from daytime, it will be even more dangerous to take action, so I want to slightly change our plan.¡± Liu Hong looked at everyone, then lowered her voice, ¡°In order to avoid encountering the sudden ambush of golem when we are unprepared, we need someone to explore the way. In every ten li, we will select a suitable place to lay out the defense, then dispatch a person to explore the path 10 li ahead. If there is no problem, then others will catch up to him, and if ran into a golem, then lead it to the area of our ambush. I will be in the center to command, Big Lu will be our main attacker, Na Shan, Na Shui and Tuoba Xiaoniao, you three will be responsible to support. As for Ye Chuan, you will go and explore the path ahead, how is that?¡± Silence reigns inside the tent and the gaze of everybody landed on Ye Chuan. Liu Hong¡¯s such behavior was not altogether inexcusable. The entire team will be very safe, in fact, only one man will be in true danger, and that one man was Ye Chuan who had to explore the path by himself. He had to continuously be on guard against the ambush of golems and occasionally also other yao beasts, moreover, if he truly encountered a golem, then he was still responsible to lead it into the ambush of others. It was a very dangerous task. ¡°Well, no problem, I am leaving now, you all can lay out a defense.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and turning around, he rushed ahead and disappeared. The remaining people inside the tent were stunned including Liu Hong. She had basically thought that she might not necessarily be able to persuade Ye Chuan even if she talked around, and if the latter firmly disagreed, then everyone would be at wits¡¯ end. Liu Hong had already found an excuse in secret, she again wanted to make a large pancake under the temptation of false rewards, but to her surprise, she simply didn¡¯t need to use them. ¡°Humph, this brat is truly tired of living, not fearing death!¡± Na Shui with only one leg snorted coldly. His complexion was sinister and ruthless as he eagerly looked forward to the death of Ye Chuan. ¡°Not necessarily!¡± Na Shan coldly continued: ¡°As I see it, perhaps, that brat is striving for merit. In order to obtain even more treasures, he has gone crazy!¡± Clearly, it was Liu Hong who was unable to control herself and was impatient to find even more treasures. But Na Shan of Five Style Sect however placed that big hat on Ye Chuan. [T/N: big hat: unwarranted charge] ¡°Enough, don¡¯t speak, prepare to work, get into your position.¡± Liu Hong stood up. Although her graceful and lithe figure was still alluring, her face was somewhat gloomy and cold. ¡­¡­¡­ Outside the tent, under the dim light of night, behind a stone, Ye Chuan had a cold complexion, and looking at Liu Hong and others coming out of the tent in succession, he coldly smiled and left. The exchange of Na Shan and Na Shui confirmed that it had nothing to do with them for him to move out by himself especially at night, but this however was something he had been looking forward the entire day. When the team hunted golems and found some treasures, all the good things would go to Liu Hong without exception, so he might as well go out and work by himself. Tonight was his opportunity! Ye Chuan jumped down and landed on a small path, then under the hazy moonlight, he dashed ahead, walking as if on wings. Compared to daytime, he was several times faster and he didn¡¯t fear the hidden danger of darkness. During daytime, when he was together with Liu Hong and others, Ye Chuan had misgivings, and unless it was a critical moment, he didn¡¯t easily make a move. But now, when he was taking action by himself, it was different. Even though his cultivation level wasn¡¯t high and was the worst among all the members of the team, but with four Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he had a great confidence. After nightfall, the grey mist in the air seemed to be even denser. The entire Myriad Beast Forest was silent, and the more you look, the more it resembled a huge tomb piled up with stones. Ye Chuan¡¯s speed was very fast, dashing ahead on the narrow winding trail. And after a little while, Liu Hong and others were left far behind. But just when he guessed that he had already reached the mark of 10 li, he stopped his steps sensing something. In the front, there was an unassuming stone at the slanted roadside. Suddenly, with a ¡®kacha kacha¡¯ sounds, cracks appeared on that stone. And after bigger and bigger cracks appeared on it, it finally exploded. What is this? A python completely made up of stone with a human face and snake body? The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk and all the fine hairs all over his body stood erect. After entering Myriad Beast Forest, although they were repeatedly in danger, they had only encountered beast-headed humanoid golems. This was the first time he encountered such golem with a human face and beast body. Moreover, just looking at it could cause him feel uncomfortable, and his scalp was also tingling. The space between the eyebrows of Ye Chuan suddenly twitched violently, and the Cyan Lotus Lamp within his body also began to become hot. This was the sign that it had sensed a worldly treasure. With one look, one would know that this human-faced snake-body golem was not a good thing, and it was very hard to deal with, but he was sure that a treasure must be sealed inside it. And that treasure must be incomparable even if all the treasures of Liu Hong was added together! Instantly, Ye Chuan made up his mind, he didn¡¯t turn around to lead this human-faced snake to the place where Liu Hong and others were waiting for an ambush. On the contrary, step by step, he went forward to face it head-on. Hiss! The human-faced snake held its head high and hissed as its long tail assumed a posture of wanting to attack. Ye Chuan continued to walk forward and with the blades between his fingers glimmering with pallid light, he wielded the nine blades. While circulating four Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he silently used Inch Blade Technique. After breaking through to Rank 3 Xiushi and condensing the fourth Heaven Swallowing Talisman, Ye Chuan still had yet to find an expert to truly test all his strength. This human-faced snake in front of him was extremely dangerous, but the more dangerous it was, the more he wanted to fight it. He wanted to see whether the poison fang of this snake was powerful or was his blade faster! This human-faced snake hissed again, and clouds of dust suddenly flew up in this narrow winding trail, moreover, innumerable bits of stones whistled towards Ye Chuan. The human-faced snake took the initiative to attack. Unlike all the golems he had encountered before, not only was its entire body a stone lump that was practically invulnerable, it also had powerful techniques. Now, with stone bits and dust filling the entire sky, he couldn¡¯t see from where it would attack! Chapter 193: Give you a feast Chapter 193: Give you a feast Ye Chuan suddenly accelerated and directly entered into the rolling dust and sand in the air. Then a blade light suddenly flashed in the midst of dust and sand in the air. And from the midst of dust and sand in the air, a muffled groaning sound came, then Ye Chuan retreated as fast as lightning, and only after a backflip, he firmly landed on the stone. Now, eight extremely thin sharp blades were quietly clipped between his fingers, and when the blood dripped from the blades and landed on the stone below, along with the sound of frying, a wisp of black mist rose, and a hole appeared on the place where the blood had dripped. The blood on the blades wasn¡¯t the blood of Ye Chuan, rather was the blood of that human faced snake. In the midst of dust and sand in the air, Ye Chuan accurately determined the position of the human-faced snake and used his eight sharp blades, leaving numerous deep wounds on the human-faced snake. But, he himself also wasn¡¯t completely fine, he himself was also soaked with the poison sprayed by this human-faced snake. Moreover, he had a bloody hole in his right hand which was badly mangled. The attack of this strange looking human-faced snake was especially strange. Its mouth could spray venom and its blood was also hyper-toxic. Being soaked by its blood, even the stone wasn¡¯t able to bear being corroded! In the windy night, the surging dust slowly dispersed, and the figure of human-faced snake slowly manifested. Just five-six meters away, at an unknown time, it had already climbed up to an adjacent stone, and with its head held high, it was coldly staring at Ye Chuan. On its head, belly and tail, there were few obvious injuries, from where, it was continuously bleeding, and its blood was slowly corroding the stone into a snake-shaped ravine. One man and one snake, under the dim light of night, were staring at each other. In the first head-on exchange, both sides were injured. Sharp blades and 72,000 jin violent strength coupled with Inch Blade Technique that was used for close combat made Ye Chuan¡¯s attack so swift and fierce that the human-faced snake with a thick layer of stone armor wasn¡¯t able to resist. But in turn, the human-faced snake¡¯s deadly venom and strange attack also caught Ye Chuan by surprise. The injury in his right arm was still expanding and his flesh was continuously festering, moreover, Ye Chuan¡¯s right arm and even half of his body were gradually getting numb. If this continuous, then perhaps, before long, his entire arm would be destroyed. So waiting in vain absolutely wasn¡¯t the means of solution, he must quickly end this battle! In grave difficulties, Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion was tense. Even though it was a golem, it unexpectedly had blood and had vitality unlike other usual golems. This simply was hard to believe, was this the means of Demonic Dragon? Ye Chuan kept calm and silently sized up this strange human-faced snake. At the same time, the human-faced snake was also sizing up Ye Chuan, and after refusing to budge for a little while, its tail suddenly put forth its strength on the stone, and it soared as it jumped towards Ye Chuan. It opened its mouth wide and sprayed out deadly venom. This venom changed into a water mist as it splashed towards Ye Chuan. As for Ye Chuan, he rapidly retreated, and then the stone where he had a foothold just now emitted dense smoke with a hissing sound, and instantly, it was corroded three inches deep by this human-faced snake¡¯s venom as if it was razed out by a sharp sword. Hiss! The human-faced snake held its head high and ferociously rushed forward again. Ye Chuan again retreated dodging the attacks of the human-faced snake. Now, one man was being chased around by one snake in the stone forest. If he was to lead this human-faced snake to the place where Liu Hong and others were waiting for an ambush, then they could certainly get rid of it, but merely after thinking, Ye Chuan discarded this thought. Without thinking, he knew that after getting rid of this human-faced snake and finding the treasure, Liu Hong was sure to look for all kinds of reasons to again snatch away that treasure. After taking a lot of troubles, the final result will be sewing a wedding dress for another, nothing else. Ye Chuan dodged while scanning all the terrain around them. The wound of his arm wasn¡¯t looking optimistic, he must treat it as soon as possible, but the wound of the human-faced snake was also not light. Once it runs out of blood, it would die. In the dim light of the night, suddenly a cyan light flashed, and on the stone, an Evil Eyed Cow Demon appeared. Then lowering its head, it aimed for a while, then shoot a cyan light towards the human-faced snake. The human-faced snake that was straightly rushing after Ye Chuan strangely swayed its nearly ten meters long body all of a sudden. The cyan light brush past it, then, opening its mouth, it swallowed that Evil Eyed Cow Demon. And a scene of a snake swallowing an entire cow while still alive could be seen here. And even though the blood of Evil Eyed Cow Demon was still flowing out from the corner of the human-faced snake, it swung its tail and continued to rush towards Ye Chuan. ¡°Come again!¡± While continuously retreating, Ye Chuan again summoned an Evil Eyed Cow Demon to obstruct the attacking human-faced snake. The real strength of Evil Eyed Cow Demon relied on crowds. Fighting alone, its combat ability was low, clearly wasn¡¯t the opponent of this human-faced snake. After wailing mournfully, this Evil Eyed Cow Demon was also swallowed by this human-faced snake. One after another, it swallowed two Evil Eyed Cow Demons. This variant golem was incomparably fierce and was even more terrifying compared to many yao beasts of Wilderness World. ¡°I will give you a feast, come and continue!¡± Ye Chuan jumped to another stone and again summoned another Evil Eyed Cow Demon. Witnessing Evil Eyed Cow Demons were being swallowed by this human-faced snake, he didn¡¯t get angry rather sneered. One man and one snake were in the midst of dangerous chasing. The human-faced snake continued to chase ferociously, and Ye Chuan continued to run all around dodging it. He didn¡¯t personally attack, rather just summoned one Evil Eyed Cow Demon after another to obstruct it. And without exception, all of these Evil Eyed Cow Demons were swallowed by the human-faced snake. The human-faced snake was incomparably vigorous, but slowly, it unwittingly began to slow down, not only because of the great loss of blood, even more, because its body was bloated. After swallowing about a dozen of Evil Eyed Cow Demons, the stomach of human-faced snake had swelled nearly five times compared to before. With such stomach, it became slower and slower. In the end, it was even unable to leap forward, and since it couldn¡¯t jump from one stone to another, it could only crawl on the ground. Like that, Ye Chuan easily led it by the nose around the stone forest. Summoning Evil Eyed Cow Demon, he didn¡¯t expect them to really obstruct or kill this human-faced snake, rather intentionally let them die, exploding in the stomach of the human-faced snake! The killing move of Ye Chuan slowly displayed its effect. The human-faced snake had wisdom and was also powerful, but unwittingly fell into the trap, as seeing Evil Eyed Cow Demon, it instinctively swallowed it. The more Evil Eyed Cow Demons it swallowed, the closer it was to the death, and when it became aware of this, it was already too late. At an unknown time, Ye Chuan had already led it to an especially dense stone forest and with its big stomach stuck in the middle of stones, it was unable to move. Hiss! The human-faced snake put forth its strength to struggle, and suddenly, putting forth strength on its head, it bashed its head against a seven-eight meters tall stone, turning that stone over, then taking the chance, just when it was about to leave, the crushed stone under it suddenly exploded and a figure appeared. Now is the chance! Kill! Ye Chuan had circled around and hid among the crushed stone below the only way the human-faced snake could take, and seeing a great opportunity, he attacked with all his strength. This time, he used only a single blade, but this single blade cut open the stomach of the human-faced snake that was about to explode. This human-faced snake rolled on the ground for a little while and then became motionless. Ye Chuan stepped forward and felt about for a little while, then from inside the head of the human-faced snake, he took out a lifelike small golden man. It seemed this was also a crystal stone for refining, but was lifelike as if it had a life. Compared to the small crystal men found inside dog-headed golem, tiger-headed golem and other golems, this was completely different. Chapter 194: Demonic Snake Guard Chapter 194: Demonic Snake Guard Ye Chuan jumped to the top of a stone and sat cross-legged, then he began to carefully examine this golden small man he had found within the body of this human-faced snake. This lifelike small man has no runes, no lines and no red specks. Touching it, it felt soft as if a flesh, bearing a remarkable resemblance to a real living small person, but it had no trace of life. Smelling it, a unique fragrance would permeate via nasal cavity into the internal organs, and the pores of the entire body would open up comfortably. This smell didn¡¯t resemble the smell of a flesh rather was somewhat similar to the fragrance of fruits. ¡°Strange, what exactly is this? Such a strange thing was sealed within such a powerful human-faced snake.¡± Ye Chuan was confused. Even with the experience of his past life, he unexpectedly was also unable to see through the origin and profound mystery behind this golden small man. But, he was sure that this was a rare treasure as the Cyan Lotus Lamp within his body was getting hotter. ¡°Your Excellency, can you let me out and take a closer look?¡± The voice of old evil spirit Hei Kui resounded in the mind of Ye Chuan. Sensing the aura of this golden small man, he pondered and recalling a section of a very old memory, he was very excited. But, without looking at it carefully, he didn¡¯t dare to confirm. A cyan light flashed and a puppet doll appeared beside Ye Chuan. If Liu Hong and others were here, they might be so scared that they would have goosebumps all over. The puppet doll beside Ye Chuan actually stood up and stretching out its hands, it took the golden small man from Ye Chuan. It had a smiling face as before, no matter whether it was excited or angry, its chubby face was always smiling with the appearance of a little wealthy boy, but its eyes however were bright and piercing. After taking the golden small man, it carefully examined it, and its eyes burned with excitement. ¡°A species of demonic ginseng, yes, this is a species of demonic ginseng!¡± Old evil spirit He Kui who had possessed this puppet doll exclaimed excitedly, and then continued, ¡°Your Excellency, this is a species of demonic ginseng. Swallowing and refining it, it will be as effective as cultivating for at least a thousand year, moreover, you might inherit memory fragments or a technique of demonic people. Quick, swallow it immediately, if it is exposed in the air for a long time, then its effect will decrease!¡± ¡°Hei Kui, are you sure? Is this also something that came from the world beyond the highest heaven?¡± Ye Chuan asked. After taking the lifelike golden small man, he wasn¡¯t hasty to swallow it. ¡°I¡¯m sure, this is also a thing of the world beyond the highest heaven. I once saw it in a portrait.¡± Old evil spirit Hei Kui paused for a bit and continued, ¡°A very long time ago, when my Puppet Sect was still in the golden age, I had once seen it. At that time, I was still young and was a puppet boy under my master, and one time, when I went to the sacred land of Puppet Sect with my master to worship the ancestor, there, I saw a portrait our ancestor holding such golden small man. According to my master, that was a species of demonic ginseng, and it was something discovered together with Puppet Technique by our ancestor at that time. According to the legend, a supreme expert of the world beyond the highest heaven used a kind of demonic technique to seal a drop of fate root and essence blood, which after going through innumerable years of absorbing the worldly spiritual qi, gave birth to it.¡± Hei Kui lowered his voice. The distant memory that was covered in dust gradually became clear as if he had returned to the time when he was still a puppet boy. ¡°A kind of demonic technique, Demonic Dragon¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself, and after a short while, he swallowed this golden small man and began to refine on the spot. A majestic energy fluctuation suddenly erupted within the body of Ye Chuan and a golden light wandered around his skin as if he was plated with a layer of gold. This energy steadily rose and just like a flood, it began rampaging within his body, and finally, it accumulated in his dantian, slowly condensing a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman, which had a human face and snake body, unexpectedly was a human-faced snake talisman! Ye Chuan was greatly surprised, but he didn¡¯t have time to carefully observe this new Heaven Swallowing Talisman as a formula of a profound technique appeared in his brain. He immediately immersed in it and began making gestures according to this unique formula. Within the stone forest, now, old evil spirit Hei Kui possessing the puppet doll had his mouth wide open and his mind was shaking looking at Ye Chuan. Immersed in his technique, when Ye Chuan had begun to comprehend this unique technique, his body unexpectedly dimmed down, and in the midst of the cold wind, his body rippled and twisted, sometimes becoming a venerable Buddha, sometimes becoming a ghastly skeleton, and sometimes becoming a human-faced snake with golden light wandering around it, but no matter what he became, one would feel monstrous pressure from him. This pressure made Hei Kui, this old evil spirit, shiver from the depth of his soul. This master, who exactly is he? Is he seriously only a little younger generation Big Disciple of a sect? Hei Kui shivered, this moment, he felt that Ye Chuan was far from being as simple as hidden. It was by no means an accident that he lost and was subdued under his hand! After an hour, the continuously changing Ye Chuan gradually reverted back to the same old way, and the monstrous energy fluctuation within his body also gradually settled down. ¡°Demonic Snake Technique, Demonic Snake Guard, yesterday¡¯s drop of essence blood will bring up a Demonic Snake Guard of today¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan slowly opened his eyes, and above his fingertip, a vague cyclone was rotating, moreover, there was also a vague figure of a human-faced snake. This was the mark of demonic ginseng left behind by the human-faced snake. And after blowing it, it dissipated without a trace. Sure enough, old evil spirit Hei Kui didn¡¯t speak wrongly, refining this demonic ginseng, Ye Chuan inherited a technique called Demonic Snake Technique. It was a good technique to move stealthily like snake and ambush. The human-faced snake he had encountered just a moment ago was a special guard called Demonic Snake Guard. ¡°Master, what realm did you reach?¡± Old evil spirit Hei Kui asked as he looked at Ye Chuan with full of excitement and expectation. If he was also able to refine a demonic ginseng, then how wonderful that would be! His cultivation would take a great leap and he would also be able to inherit a technique of the world beyond the highest heaven, and then, hopefully, he would be able to cast off this puppet body and reconstruct his body becoming a human again. ¡°Rank 4 Xiushi.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently replied. ¡°What, broke through just a trivial small rank? How is that possible?¡± Old evil spirit Hei Kui cried out in alarm. This demonic ginseng at least have the same effect as cultivating for thousand years, so breaking through three ranks in succession and even breaking through to Daoist Master realm at one go, he had thought of all these possibilities, but how come Ye Chuan only broke through from Rank 3 Xiushi to Rank 4 Xiushi? ¡°It is already very good, Hei Kui, don¡¯t worry, if I find this kind of golden small man again, then you can have a part of it.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently smiled knowing the desire of old evil spirit Hei Kui. Then waving his hand, he sent him into Cyan Lotus Lamp again. What did old evil spirit Hei Kui want, he knew with a glance, but what he wanted, the old evil spirit Hei Kui however was unable to understand. What was truly important was the strength, and he was satisfied being able to condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. Then cultivation realm however was less important. Ye Chuan stood up, then with a stamp, more than ten meters tall stone under him made a cracking sound as a big crack appeared on it. 90000 jin! One Heaven Swallowing Talisman increased his strength by 18,000 jin, now with five Heaven Swallowing Talismans, they strength he could exert even surprised himself. This was the strength merely after condensing five Heaven Swallowing Talismans, if he was able to condense 180,000 Heaven Swallowing Talismans like stated in Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique, then how powerful his body would be? Ye Chuan looked up and issued a long, loud cry as his fighting intent surged! Chapter 195: A large Small Crystal Man Chapter 195: A large Small Crystal Man A few shouting sounds of men and women came from afar. Hearing the shout of Ye Chuan, Liu Hong and others shouted back impatiently, seemingly, blaming Ye Cuan for taking too much time. But, they only shouted, no one dared to come over to see whether Ye Chuan had encountered danger or not. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, you cannot wait any longer so quickly?¡± Ye Chuan sneered and left as he continued to explore the way. After a little while, yet another golem suddenly broke out from the stone, blocking the path of Ye Chuan. This was a common dog-headed golem, so Ye Chuan simply punched without using any technique. Then this golem whose body couldn¡¯t be damaged by even flying swords suddenly exploded, and he found a small crystal man within its body. This small crystal man was engraved with many runes, similarly had a record of a technique of the world beyond the highest heaven. If it was before, obtaining such small crystal man, Ye Chuan would have become somewhat excited, but now, after tasting the benefit of demonic ginseng, this kind of small crystal man nevertheless was rather boring. Ye Chuan thought for a bit, then squatting down, he put away this small crystal man. He didn¡¯t need the technique recorded in this small crystal man, but he could give it to Flame Devil, fatty, Zhu Sijia and others to rapidly increase their strength. What he didn¡¯t want, in the eyes of many people, they however might be treasures! And after pausing slightly, Ye Chuan followed another narrow winding trail and walking as if on wings, very quickly, he encountered yet another golem, and then this golem also fell under his single punch. At night, this Myriad Beast Forest was very quiet as if a huge grave. It appeared very dangerous and unfathomable, so Liu Hong and others didn¡¯t dare to easily walk out, but Ye Chuan however was going back and forth as if a wind. Slowly, his speed became faster and faster, and the range of exploration increased from 10 li to 20, 30li¡­¡­, encountering more and more golems, and his harvest was also growing. He found flying swords, armors and also many small crystal men, but he didn¡¯t encounter any human-faced snake-like ¡®human face beast body¡¯ golems. Later, finally after he could no longer fit the treasures he found in his clothes, he simply threw all of them into the space inside Cyan Lotus Lamp. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Inside a rugged, hard to enter stone forest, Liu Hong was standing on a stone looking at a distance. Ye Chuan, who had gone to explore the way, was already missing for no less than six hours, and the greater part of the night had also passed just like this without any news of Ye Chuan. At first, they still heard fighting and shouting sound from far away, but later, it was very quiet without any sound. ¡°Miss Liu, noble son Ye, he might have met some danger, how about we dispatch some people to reinforce him?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao came over to Liu Hong and after hesitating repeatedly, she said. Thinking about that appearance of Ye Chuan with a bad smile, she was angry in her heart but for an unknown reason, seeing Ye Chuan didn¡¯t return even though it had already been a long time, she unexpectedly was worried about him. Her heart was very contradictory. ¡°Humph, a good person doesn¡¯t live long, but bad person survives millennium disasters, that brat is more cunning than anyone else, how can he die so easily?¡± The disciple of Five Style Sect, Na Shui said with sinister complexion. From the time he had lost his leg, Na Shui always was sinister when speaking, and mentioning Ye Chuan, he even more wouldn¡¯t have a good complexion. ¡°Miss Liu, it¡¯s already been so long without any movements, this truly is rather strange. Even if Noble son Ye hadn¡¯t encountered any danger, he might have gotten lost, how about I and Tuoba Xiaoniao go to look?¡± Big Lu slightly frowned and said. Although he was charmed by bewitchingly charming Liu Hong, his innate character was still good unlike Na Shan and Na Shui brothers. ¡°No, wait a bit.¡± Liu Hong rejected the suggestion of Tuoba Xiaoniao and Big Lu. After tasting the sweet taste of being captain, she was unwilling to give up her power all the more and also was unwilling to take risks for the sake of Ye Chuan, ¡°Na Shui is right, noble son Ye is bright. He is unlikely to be in a danger and also unlikely to get lost, merely might have gone a bit farther, so we should just wait patiently believing in him.¡± She clearly didn¡¯t want to take risks for Ye Chuan, but her words sounded better than a song. Tuoba Xiaoniao frowned and saw that Big Lu was mostly persuaded by Liu Hong, so she had no choice but to give up and merely could look at the distance night sky. But, just after she sighed, she suddenly saw a vague shadow, so she jumped on a tall stone to look carefully. Far away, a human figure was staggering towards them. Is that Ye Chuan? Is he injured? Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s eyes shone, then rubbing her eyes, she confirmed that it wasn¡¯t her illusion, so stepping on a flying sword, she went to receive him as she said, ¡°Quick, quickly look there, noble son Ye is back, but he seemed to be injured, I will go to take a look!¡± ¡°Wait for me, I am also going with you.¡± Big Lu followed after Tuoba Xiaoniao towards that distant vague figure. Reaching closer, that figure was really Ye Chuan, but no injury could be seen on latter¡¯s body. He was merely carrying a heavy looking thing covered with a piece of black cloth on his back. From the vague shape, it seemed to be a piece of a large stone. But he was staggering while walking. Big Lu and Tuoba Xiaoniao who had hastily rushed over were dumbfounded. Why on earth was Ye Chuan carrying a heavy stone when returning from so far away? ¡°Noble son Ye, what is this?¡± Big Lu straightforwardly asked as he confusedly looked at Ye Chuan. ¡°Nothing, just a stone, that¡¯s all.¡± Ye Chuan pulled the black cloth to tightly cover the stone and said, ¡°Big Lu, you have come at just the right time, help me carry back this stone, I really cannot move any longer.¡± ¡°This damnable place, other than stones, there is nothing, but why on earth did you carry back a stone from so far away?¡± Big Lu whispered, but as he was an honest and frank person, he didn¡¯t decline, he bent over and carried the stone, but, he staggered and nearly fell as this stone was heavier than he had expected. It was at least more than 1000 jin in weight. It was rather strenuous to carry for even him, no wonder Ye Chuan was staggering when walking. ¡°Big Lu, be careful, don¡¯t drop and break it.¡± Ye Chuan clapped his hand and walking behind Tuoba Xiaoniao, he returned to the temporary station causing Liu Hong and others to be dumbfounded. ¡°What is this? Ye Chuan, were you so late in returning for this?¡± Liu Hong looked at the stone that was covered with a black cloth and was keenly aware of abnormalities. Who was Ye Chuan, he was a very old fox, so why would he carry a huge stone back from so far away? ¡°Nothing, really just a stone.¡± Ye Chuan replied with a sincere face. Unfortunately, the more he tried to cover up, the more suspicious Liu Hong became. ¡°Let me see.¡± Taking advantage of the opportunity when Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t prepared, Liu Hong suddenly reached out her hand and lifted the tightly wrapped black cloth. Suddenly, everyone was greatly surprised and their eyes shone. Under the black cloth, where was the stone, there clearly was a very large crystal! Accurately speaking, was a large small crystal man, a larger version of small crystal man. Compared to small crystal men they had obtained before, this was hundred times bigger. It was entirely covered with runes, red specks and red lines. The recorded technique was incomparably profound! Good boy, clearly obtained a priceless treasure but lying by saying it was just a stone! Such a large crystal, its value was definitely more than the combined value of all the small crystal men she had obtained before! The heart of Liu Hong shook, and her eyes became brighter and brighter. The reaction of Na Shan and Na Shui was also the same. They immediately walked over in a tacit agreement. But, no one noticed a trace of sneer on the face of Ye Chuan. This girl, she just sees a treasure and she already wants to seize it turning against a friend, okay, I will give it to you as a gift! Want to fight with me, you are still too inexperienced! Ye Chuan sneered as he coldly looked at Liu Hong. As a venerable Heaven Concealing Great Sage that once dominated the world, he could appraise treasures and also could counterfeit. He could be said to be the ancestor of counterfeiting ancestors. Creating a fake small crystal man, it was not too easy, and deceiving experts with a fake crystal man also was difficult, but it was a piece of cake to deceive Liu Hong and others. No one among them could confidentially say that it was a fake. Chapter 196: Cyan Feather Technique Chapter 196: Cyan Feather Technique A very large small crystal man attracted the gaze of everyone. Among the same kind of things, the bigger the better, so this large small crystal man was very attractive for everyone. With such thickly dotted runes, red specks and lines, what kind of powerful technique was recorded in this large small crystal man? Heaven grade, or was it the legendary Sage grade technique that only Sage cultivates? The gaze of Liu Hong, Na Shui and Na Shan become scorching hot. As for Tuoba Xiaoniao and Big Lu, they were also looking at it with rapt attention. ¡°Noble son Ye, where did you find this small crystal man? Tonight, what exactly did you encounter? Do not say that this is merely a common stone.¡± Liu Hong asked. Her voice was low and she stared fixedly at Ye Chuan. Now, her eyes, that always used to have peach blossom of the spring, were bright and piercing as she asked the doubt in her heart which was also the critical aspect. Such a large small crystal man, then did he encountered many times larger golem? How high was Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation? It was just trifling Rank 3 Xiushi, nothing more. Even if he encountered a common dog-headed golem, he would have a hard time to deal with it, and even if he had hidden his strength, then it would be near impossible for him to deal with a tiger-headed golem. How did he manage to obtain such a large small crystal man? Liu Hong who was adept at scheming calmed down first and became aware of the suspicious places. ¡°I picked it up in the stone forest that is 20 li away.¡± Ye Chuan paused. He clearly wanted to make use of this opportunity to gain his end by giving this fake small crystal man to Liu Hong, but he made reluctant to part appearance, and while stuttering, he pretended to hide and also pretended that he didn¡¯t to speak too much as he continued, ¡°At that place, there was a corpse of a huge golem, and this small crystal man was inside that corpse accumulating the dust. It is also possible that this isn¡¯t a small crystal man but just a stone. Everybody shouldn¡¯t think much.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, lead us there to see!¡± Liu Hong commanded, wanting to strike while the iron was hot. And after examining, the whole thing would come to light. Ye Chuan brought back this small crystal man that perturbed people¡¯s mind, but this was honestly too big, so all of them felt that there seemed to be something wrong. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, is it necessary to go? If you want to go, then you can go by yourselves. I am honestly too tired to carry this crystal and also don¡¯t want to go.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. ¡°Big Lu, you carry it. Noble son Ye, now, we are in the same boat. If there truly are such huge golems, then we have to go and take a look to prepare ourselves in advance. Rest assured, this small crystal man is something you found, no-one will take it away!¡± Liu Hong assured Ye Chuan with sweet words and honeyed phrases. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister¡­¡­¡± Na Shan and Na Shui called out in unison as their eyes revealed an ominous glint. Such a priceless treasure, so easily promising to give it to Ye Chuan, wasn¡¯t that a great loss for them and great profit for Ye Chuan? And compared to Na Shan, the complexion of Na Shui with only one leg was even uglier. If he had known earlier that such treasure would be found, then how could it be the turn of Ye Chuan to explore the way? He had obtained a mediocre small crystal man after losing a leg, moreover, that was also in the custody of Liu Hong with the pretext of storing, but Ye Chuan just went out for a walk and easily obtained this kind of priceless treasure, wasn¡¯t this too unfair? ¡°Both of you, shut up, noble son Ye, please!¡± Liu Hong raised her hand and gave strict orders to Na Shan and Na Shui, then with her signal, Big Lu obediently bend over and carried the heavy small crystal man. This woman was very calculating and double-dealing, but in terms of grasping the heart of people, she indeed had a skill. With the appearance of solemn team captain, she made a prompt decision and issued the orders. ¡°Fine, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, since you must go, I also cannot stop you. But, it¡¯s dangerous at night, and in the vicinity of that stone forest, there are piles of many corpses, very probably, there is a very powerful golem or evil spirit. If someone gets attacks or happens anything, don¡¯t blame me for not warning.¡± Ye Chuan replied. And hearing this, the complexion of everyone suddenly changed becoming nervous in their heart. In this group, the highest cultivation realm was Rank 5 Xiushi. If they truly encountered a huge golem in whose body such a large small crystal man was sealed, then that absolutely would bode ill rather than well and they might be completely wiped out in an instant. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Liu Hong gritted her teeth and said as her desire for treasure won over the nervousness in her heart. Tonight, no matter what she had to be clear about this matter. She had to see whether there was any problem or not with this small crystal man Ye Chuan had bought back. After that, she could consider everything else. Late at night, Myriad Beast Forest was very quiet and as if a huge ancient times grave, it was gloomy and stifling. Under the command of Liu Hong, the entire group of people gathered their courage and began walking a curved narrow winding trail. All of them were nervous throughout the journey. Fortunately, perhaps because of their good luck or perhaps because Ye Chuan had already passed through here, all along the road, they were more scared than hurt. They didn¡¯t encounter any evil spirit and golem. And half an hour later, under the lead of Ye Chuan, they finally reached the stone forest. Around the stone forest, there were many dead bones scattered. Among them, there were the bones of humans, skeletons of yao beast and there were also many severed stone lumps. And in the middle of the stone forest, there was a huge golem¡¯s corpse lying on the ground. Its build was hundred times bigger than ordinary golems, but everywhere of its stone lump body was filled with cracks. ¡°This is the place, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, quickly do whatever you want to do, I have a very bad feeling. We might not be able to live if we stay here for a long time.¡± Ye Chuan said with a sincere look but a hint of sneer flashed in his face. Just now he had spoken the truth that there was a huge golem¡¯s corpse in the stone forest. When he was exploring the way, he unwittingly discovered it, merely, the small crystal man he brought back was a fake. At that time, when he saw this giant corpse, he thought up a good idea, on the spot, he refined a so-called small crystal man. Mixing the truth with false, he could pass fake imitation for genuine. Liu Hong didn¡¯t speak and seriously circled a lap around this giant corpse, then coldly snorted, ¡°Let¡¯s leave!¡± Liu Hong led everyone to leave hurriedly. Seeing the huge corpse was already terrifying enough and then they heard those words of Ye Chuan, so everyone couldn¡¯t help but get nervous. But, although nervous, Liu Hong was steadfast in her heart as she was able to confirm that Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t lied. Returning back to the temporary camp, Liu Hong immediately stepped forward and carefully observed the large small crystal man, then used her fingertip to touch red specks and lines engraved on it as she diligently studied it. Slowly, at the bottom of this small crystal man, she discovered three small archaic words ¡°Cyan Feather Technique¡±, and just comprehending a bit of this technique, she was wild with joy. ¡°Cyan Feather Technique, what a good Cyan Feather Technique¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong muttered and became more and more excited. She not only thirsted for power but also handled the mattered cautiously. She would clearly examine even a bit of suspicion. Slowly, sensing the unique obscure energy fluctuation coming from this small crystal stone, she was thoroughly convinced. Her pair of eyes became scorching hot again, but she didn¡¯t notice a hint of sneer on the face of Ye Chuan. As a Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he had many tricks up his sleeves and it was honestly too easy for him to inject a little bit of energy of Heaven Swallowing Talisman in this small crystal man so that it would appear as a priceless small crystal man. But, it however was just a stone with a layer of crystal covering it on the surface. As for ¡®Cyan Feather Technique¡¯, these three words, Ye Chuan had engraved them. Those dense red specks and lines also indeed record such technique, merely, it wasn¡¯t the technique of the world beyond the highest heaven rather a technique Ye Chuan had comprehended in his previous lifetime, moreover, only incomplete version was recorded on this small crystal man. But, as long as Liu Hong gently knock it, that layer of crystal on the surface of this small crystal man would definitely break and she would discover the truth. But, would she dare? Obviously, Liu Hong wouldn¡¯t dare! She didn¡¯t believe in the words of Ye Chuan, only believed what she had seen, touched and felt. Being too bright, she considered herself infallible, and she really believed this small crystal man was a priceless treasure. Chapter 197: How about accompanying me for the night Chapter 197: How about accompanying me for the night After comprehending for a little while, the more Liu Hong looked at this large small crystal man, the more she liked it. Her gaze became scorching hot as she didn¡¯t conceal the craze of her heart. Or to say, she was unable to cover up even though she wanted to cover up. Obtaining an earth grade technique, it was a great merit to Five Style Sect, and obtaining a heaven grade technique, that obviously was an extremely big contribution. But, if she was to bring back this large small crystal man, wouldn¡¯t the entire Five Style Sect boil over? Very calculating Liu Hong had always been calm, but now, she couldn¡¯t control herself, then staring at Ye Chuan, she said, ¡°Noble son Ye, what is your following plan? ¡°Return, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, I¡¯m sorry, I am announcing my withdrawal, I can no longer accompany you all to continue exploring Myriad Beast Forest and this Paradise Realm.¡± Since the fish was smoothly hooked, Ye Chuan sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended exactly the opposite as he continued, ¡°My requirement is very simple, having this small crystal man was enough. The technique recorded on this small crystal man is enough for me to comprehend for my lifetime. Leaving Paradise Realm, I will return to Cloud Mist Sect, then I will resign from all of my duties and enter seclusion cultivation. When we meet again, perhaps, thousands of years might have already passed, or perhaps, we will never meet again.¡± The more Liu Hong wanted to obtain this small crystal man, the more Ye Chuan made it difficult, retreating in order to advance. Thus, the doubts of people were dispelled even more, like this, they no longer had any doubts on this small crystal man. Now, let alone Na Shui and Na Shan, even originally still suspicious Tuoba Xiaoniao was also convinced. Not that the discerning ability of everyone was inadequate, rather the counterfeit of Ye Chuan was too real. Even Liu Hong, this vixen, wasn¡¯t able to see through the flaws, no need to mention about average people. ¡°How¡¯s this okay? Noble son Ye, you are still young, you are at the young and promising age when you should exhibit your talent. Furthermore, you have yet to experience many glorious matters, how can you retreat into seclusion at such a young age?¡± Liu Hong continuously shook her head wanting to bewitch Ye Chuan to abandon this idea. If Ye Chuan left now, no need to mention that she would lose a free labor, later, where could she find him to obtain this small crystal man? This won¡¯t do! She absolutely cannot let Ye Chuan leave like this! The eyes of Liu Hong turned, beginning to think hard for a way to make Ye Chuan and small crystal man stay here, if the need arises, then she might be forced to make some sacrifice. ¡°But, the problem is, I feel that I no longer have any glorious matters I have yet to experience.¡± Ye Chuan consciously or unconsciously looked at the towering chest and sinning white legs of Liu Hong and said in all seriousness, ¡°My request is really not big, having this small crystal man is enough.¡± ¡°Ye Chuan, I will speak straightforwardly, give me this small crystal man, what do you want in return?¡± Liu Hong was unable to bear anymore and she directly came to the point. After thinking for a bit, she said this directly as she wasn¡¯t patient enough to slowly grind Ye Chuan. She was truly worried that Ye Chuan would leave with this small crystal stone. ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t be fool enough to reject a face-saving offer!¡± Na Shan of Five Style Sect walked over and fiercely said. ¡°Yes, it is your honor that you are able to give something to Big Senior Apprentice-Sister.¡± Na Shui with only one leg also came over. His complexion was sinister and his right hand was already grabbing the hit of the sword hanging on his waist as he said with a murderous look, ¡°Without our protection, if you were alone here, then could you have obtained this small crystal man? Now, if you don¡¯t speak out your requirement, then be careful, you might not obtain anything in the end.¡± ¡°You all¡­¡­, are you threatening me?¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan became cold, and blade light flashed as he wielded an extremely thin sharp blade. Immediately, the atmosphere became dangerous with swords drawn and bows bent. Big Lu and Tuoba Xiaoniao, seeing this situation, retreated to one side. Clearly, Liu Hong had set her eyes on this small crystal man. And among six people, Five Style Sect clearly had three people, and although Ye Chuan was Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple and his background wasn¡¯t small, but he, after all, was a single person. A single hand cannot compete with four hands. ¡°Okay, all of you, lay down your swords, Na Shan, Na Shui, what are you two doing? Do you still have I, this Big Senior Apprentice-Sister in your eyes?¡± After intentionally letting Na Shan and Na Shui come over to threaten, Liu Hong again smoothened things over and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, how about you give me this small crystal stone, and I will immediately give half of the treasure in my possession we found before?¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. ¡°Then, I will give all the small crystal men as well as other treasures found before.¡± Liu Hong didn¡¯t give up continuing to raise the stakes. Ye Chuan still shook his head. ¡°I will give you all the treasures found before, moreover, regardless of any treasures we found next, you alone will take half of them.¡± Liu Hong made greater temptation, drawing a larger pancake. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, if our place was exchanged, would you believe? And would you be willing?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t soften and became solemn as if this small crystal man was a priceless treasure. In the operation of this time, Liu Hong had already collected quite a few small crystal men, if they were brought outside Paradise Realm, they were priceless treasures that couldn¡¯t be bought even with any sum of wealth. But, this kind of things, they were nothing much in the eyes of Ye Chuan, nevertheless, even if he didn¡¯t want it, he could also give them to fatty and others. But, if he accepted just like that, then his act might be a bit unrealistic, moreover, how could he easily let Liu Hong obtain it? ¡°Then you say, what do you want for you to hand over this small crystal man?¡± Liu Hong was somewhat impatient and her complexion became sinister as she hesitated whether to completely fall out with Ye Chuan and attack or not. ¡°I want you, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, to accompany me for the night, how is that?¡± Seeing Liu Hong was about to explode, Ye Chuan finally relaxed, and pausing for a bit, he said in all seriousness, ¡°Just a moment ago, didn¡¯t you say I am still young, moreover, I have yet to experience many glorious things? So, I want to try something and have experience in that field.¡± The entire group of people was dumbfounded. Asking Liu Hong to accompany him for the night in front of everyone, what did Ye Chuan want to do? He truly was shameless! The complexion of Na Shan and Na Shui turned green, and the complexion of Big Lu also wasn¡¯t good-looking. Bewitchingly charming Liu Hong was already a goddess of her heart. If she truly agreed to accompany Ye Chuan for the night, then what would she become? ¡°Damned rouge, smelly shameless!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao cursed in a low voice and blushed to the roots of her ears as if Ye Chuan wanted her to accompany him for the night instead of Liu Hong. Originally, she was still somewhat sympathetic to Ye Chuan and was disgusted with Liu Hong as well as her rude and unreasonable followers. But as soon as Ye Chuan opened his mouth, that bit of sympathy immediately disappeared. Rogue really was rogue, what can you expect from a dog but barking, he was unwilling even though he was given so many treasures, but he wanted her to accompany him for the night in exchange. Shameless and lecherous to this extent, perhaps, there was no second such person in this entire Wilderness World. [T/N: what can you expect from a dog but barking: no good words are to be expected from a scoundrel] Tuoba Xiaoniao looked at Ye Chuan with her eyes filled with contempt. Liu Hong was also in a daze, but she didn¡¯t get angry like Tuoba Xiaoniao, instead slowly laughed, moreover, she intentionally stuck out her plump bosom for Ye Chuan to see, then with thousands of amorous feelings wandering about in her gaze, her complexion changed as she said: ¡°Noble son Ye, this¡­¡­, doesn¡¯t this appear too inappropriate?¡± ¡°It¡¯s inappropriate, I was just joking, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, you don¡¯t need to be so serious.¡± Ye Chuan continued with a smile yet not a smile, ¡°This small crystal man, originally, I didn¡¯t want to give it to anyone, but, since Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu want it, then you can take it away, and it¡¯s fine to just give me those small crystal men of before. I am a man with a wife, and some matters, I naturally have to experience with her, just now, I was merely joking, that¡¯s all. Xiaoniao, what do you say?¡± ¡°Who is your wife?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao shouted in anger and shame. Na Shui, Na Shan and Big Lu were relieved hearing this, but the clear complexion of Liu Hong however changed into cloudy. Just now, she wanted to put good use to her honey-trap, and take advantage of this time to make Ye Chuan submissive, but in the blink of an eye, Ye Chuan said that he was merely joking. That feeling was terrible! Chapter 197: Gifting you a string of char siu Chapter 197: Gifting you a string of char siu ¡°Humph, take this! Ye Chuan, the sky isn¡¯t bright yet, continue to go and explore the way!¡± Liu Hong tossed out all small crystal men in her possession, giving them to Ye Chuan with a gloomy complexion, then turning around angrily, swaying her buttocks, she left after instructing Big Lu to move this large small crystal man to her tent. She wanted to comprehend and memorize Cyan Feather Technique this very night. ¡°Still want me to explore the path? If I found a large small crystal man again, then no one is allowed to snatch it from me.¡± Ye Chuan evilly smiled and taking a quick glance at Liu Hong¡¯s big buttocks, he turned away. He had refined this fake large small crystal man, thinking only to play tricks on Liu Hong, but to his surprise, he smoothly got quite a few real small crystal men. The people from the ancient times were not wrong, as they say ¡®casually poke a stick in the mud and it grows into a tree to shade you¡¯, he obtained everything without wasting any time and energy! Roughly looking several small crystal men in his hand, Ye Chuan put them away, then gradually proceeded into the darkness to explore the way once again. ¡°Humph, this idiot!¡± ¡°Yes, complacent of what, only an idiot will be like this!¡± Behind, Na Shan and Na Shui muttered. Their complexion was sinister and ruthless following the back view of Ye Chuan. Liu Hong got her wish fulfilled obtaining the large small crystal man. Ye Chuan lost a peerless treasure but all the small crystal men they had found before were given to him, only they, brothers, were empty-handed, so they naturally were indignant in her heart. Speaking logically, among the small crystal men given to Ye Chuan, two of them nominally belonged to them. But, returning to point, if they were the one that found this large small crystal man, then they would have never surrendered it and would have quietly left midway. He clearly had great fortune to obtain that large small crystal man but being an idiot, it was taken away from him, if this isn¡¯t being an idiot, then what is? Some people, the more they got along, the deeper their emotion, but some people, the more they got along, the deeper they hate. Na Shan and Na Shui were the same. They hated Ye Chuan more and more. Seeing him, their teeth would itch. ¡°Idiot?¡± Ye Chuan who had left by himself paused his step, then turning his head, he looked at Na Shan and Na Shui and smiled coldly as he thought of a way to deal with them, then he walked as if on wings on this narrow winding trail. Of course, the commotion of tonight was already enough, so he thought to find a place to cultivate quietly. He wanted to comprehend the techniques of the world beyond the heaven recorded on the small crystal men. But, since Na Shan and Na Shui didn¡¯t know how to be tactful, he would let them know who the real idiot was. Liu Hong had designated the surroundings within the radius of 10 li as the limit of exploration, but Ye Chuan quickly advanced, exceeding that limit and reached 20 li, 30 li¡­ At this time, the temporary station became quiet. Inside the tent, Liu Hong began to comprehend Cyan Feather Technique recorded in large small crystal man. This technique was incomplete, moreover, Ye Chuan had reversed the sequence and had even added a number of other techniques, greatly confusing her. Outside the tent, Na Shan, Na Shui and Big Lu were resting leaning against the stone, and their breathing slowly become long-drawn-out. After the journey of the entire day, they were greatly tired. Tuoba Xiaoniao was also resting leaning against a stone, but she however wasn¡¯t able to calm her heart. When she shut her eyes, the image of Ye Chuan with that bad smile would appear in her mind. ¡°Damned rogue!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao turned over and crushed Ye Chuan while lying down to rest. Moreover, recalling the reaction of Liu Hong, she couldn¡¯t help chuckling. At that time, the stone beneath her slightly trembled. Earthquake? Tuoba Xiaoniao was the first one to wake up with a start, she immediately turned over and sat up, then she touched the ground, yes, it indeed was trembling, but it didn¡¯t resemble earthquake, the vibration didn¡¯t come from the depth of underground, rather was coming from distant place as if something giant was advancing towards them with a heavy step, step by step. Is a golem coming? Tuoba Xiaoniao got nervous and she didn¡¯t dare to neglect this. She immediately jumped on the top of a tall stone and looked around. Sure enough, not far away, a 5-6 meters tall golem appeared in the west side stone forest. It was walking towards them step-by-step. It had a dog head and humanoid body, was a dog-headed golem. ¡°Enemy, a dog-headed golem is coming, be careful!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao shouted loudly, alerting everyone. Na Shui, Na Shan and Big Lu woke up with great alarm and grabbing their weapons in succession, they went to their respective position for an ambush. After entering this Myriad Beast Forest, they had already met quite a few dog-headed golem so they were familiar with the method to deal with this dog-headed golem. But this dog-headed golem coming from the west side was especially huge, and the slightest bit of carelessness would make their ambush fail and they would be wiped out. The movement of the dog-headed golem was slow, but its every step covered a great distance. And not long after, it arrived at the stone forest where everyone was located. And then Ye Chuan who was running in front of this dog-headed golem, after leading it over here, he quickly disappeared, leaving this dog-headed golem for Tuoba Xiaoniao and others to deal with. Roar! Suddenly seeing four people appearing around it, this dog-headed golem held its head high and roared, then it strode towards Big Lu. But, at that time, three flying swords suddenly streak across the sky and directly stabbed towards the eyes of this dog-headed golem. Na Shan, Na Shui and Tuoba Xiaoniao had simultaneously made a move. After experiencing many battles, they could now cooperate with tacit understanding. The dog-headed golem raised its hands to block those flying swords, and along with ¡®dingding¡¯ sounds, three flying swords flickered and a smoke curled up from its chopped right arm. It would be hard to even scratch the stone lumps of this dog-headed golem with ordinary flying swords, but the black flying sword of Tuoba Xiaoniao however was different, no need to mention about its sharpness, it still had the secondary corrosion effect which instantly corroded the right arm of this dog-headed golem. Roar! The dog-headed golem roared once again and just after it put down its arms, a heavy hammer arrived in front of it, and its protruding mouth was smashed flat. Its face suffered heavy damage. Seizing the opportunity, Big Liu carrying a heavy hammer attacked with all his strength. And in the next moment, three flying swords counterattacked, this time, the dog-headed golem failed to block and both of its eyes were simultaneously stabbed by flying swords. Now that it was blind and had suffered heavy damage on its face, it changed into a live target like a headless fly. ¡°Hahaha, very good, with additional effort, the small crystal man inside this dog-headed golem is mine!¡± Na Shan laughed heartily and began to wantonly attack this dog-headed golem with his flying sword as he waited for this dog-headed golem to collapse to the ground. ¡°No, big brother, this time, it¡¯s mine.¡± Na Shui was unwilling to be left behind. He used his only remaining leg to jump from one stone to another while attacking with all his strength to compete with his brother Na Shan for the credit. And both of them treated Tuoba Xiaoniao and Big Lu as an air. But, while they were battling without any care, they suddenly sensed something was wrong, so turning their head, they saw another dog-headed golem was rushing over here. They had yet to deal with this dog-headed golem inside the camp, how come another one popped out? Ye Chuan, that brat, how was he doing his job? Na Shui who had only one leg was startled and also angry, he couldn¡¯t wait to behead Ye Chuan, but at this moment, his brain practically turned into a blank space as at the entrance of the camp, yet another golem appeared again, one, two¡­¡­, no less than three golems rushed in. And Na Shan and Na Shui who were violently attacking dog-headed golem immediately became their target. Chapter 197: This insane woman Chapter 197: This insane woman ¡°Help, help!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, help me, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister¡­¡­¡± Na Shan and Na Shui screamed loudly in unison. They moved left and dodged right repeatedly getting into danger. With those three golems rushing towards them, now, along with those two golems, five golems suddenly rushed into the temporary station which in turn surrounded them two. Both of them wanted to flee quite a few times but they were unable to break out of the encirclement, so they were so scared that they wet their pants. As for Big Lu and Tuoba Xiaoniao, they were not in danger for the time being as they stood on a tall stone, and even though they wanted to help Na Shan and Na Shui, they nevertheless were powerless. The flying sword of Tuoba Xiaoniao was still able to tie up one or two at the critical moment, but as for Big Lu who was responsible for the frontal attack, his drive was thoroughly extinguished. He could only stand on the stone looking helplessly. With five golems in front of him, even if he was stronger, he wouldn¡¯t dare to jump down to battle with these five golems. A perfect ambush conversely turned into a besieging. Now Na family brothers were struggling while wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves. Sometimes, they were shouting for help, sometimes, they were shouting curses, and their hatred towards Ye Chuan surged like torrential river water. Now, even if they cursed for three days and three nights, they couldn¡¯t completely vent off their resentment towards Ye Chuan. They had told Ye Chuan to explore the way and if encountered a golem, he had to lead it back, but no-one told him that if he encountered several golems, he had to lead all of them here. Either he had lost his mind, or he was doing this deliberately, wanting to kill the entire group here. Na family brothers wailed mournfully, and from time to time, they rolled on the ground, repeatedly trying to break out of the encirclement. But they failed and their counterattack was also useless as these five stone golems easily dodged their attack. And on the contrary, if these golems slapped them or stepped them, then even if they didn¡¯t die, a layer of their skin would be peeled off. ¡°Two idiots, enjoy properly!¡± At a distant place, above a stone shrouded in darkness, Ye Chuan was coldly looking at this scene. Seeing Na family brothers were in sore straits, he coldly smiled. Relying on the advantage of the number of people of Five Style Sect being maximum and their Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu Hong being the team captain, Na family brothers had gotten arrogant, rude and unreasonable. Now, let¡¯s see how they two will be arrogant! Even if very calculating Liu Hong came out, Ye Chuan had a way to fix her. And he naturally had plenty of ways to deal with this Na family brothers. Using a little trick, he could let these two fellows who craved for greatness and success land themselves in serious trouble. The five golems surrounded Na family brothers and then ganged up to beat them. Their one punch cracked open stones and their one step would make a big crater. Their power was astonishing. As for Na family brothers, unable to break out of this encirclement, they were so scared that they were half dead with fright as they screamed repeatedly. Very soon, they were covered with blood, clearly, they wouldn¡¯t be able to endure much longer. At that time, an ice-cold sword light suddenly flew out from inside the tent. Liu Hong who was in the process of comprehending the supreme technique inside the tent finally came out, becoming one with the sword. She stretched out both arms and just like a fallen leaf stuck on a flying sword, she especially appeared very light. Her eyes shone with pallid light, and suddenly disappearing, she instantly appeared behind a dog-headed golem. Then, two scimitars appeared in her hands, which straightly stabbed its eyes. ¡°First!¡± Liu Hong coldly shouted, and without even looking at this blinded golem, she jumped towards the next golem. At that time, a washbasin sized fist whistled towards her but even though this fist hit her, as if hitting an empty air, there was no resistance. At the juncture where her life was at stake, Liu Hong became one with the sword, then stepping on the flying sword, she retreated at an unbelievable speed. As for the fist of dog-headed golem that landed on her abdomen, there however was a half-an-inch gap between that fist and her abdomen. And at the next moment, the sword light flashed as this stone golem was also blinded. ¡°Second!¡± Liu Hong with lithe and graceful body spun in the sky and suddenly jumped towards yet another golem. She looked light and had a graceful bearing, but her attack nevertheless was very fierce. Every blade streak across the sky would cause a golem to lose their eyes. Very soon, several golems that intrude this temporary station lost their eyes and become live targets. Then encountering the counterattack of Tuoba Xiaonio and others they were killed. ¡°Cyan Feather Technique, this she-devil, she¡­¡­, did she truly achieve success in her cultivation?¡± At a distant place, Ye Chuan who was looking on with folded arms, standing on the stone exclaimed. Tuoba Xiaoniao and others weren¡¯t able to see through the technique demonstrated by Liu Hong, but he however wasn¡¯t unfamiliar, that technique was the technique he had carved on that large small crystal man, Cyan Feather Technique. Just as the name suggested, this technique, once achieve success in cultivation, one would be as light as a piece of feather and one¡¯s speed would be as fast as a ferocious Snowy Mountain Cyan Eagle. This technique specialized in movement. Millions of years ago, this was the life technique of an old evil spirit that was called Cyan Feather Old Monster. He was proud and overbearing, so he was beheaded by Ye Chuan and his technique was seized. That year, after seizing this incomplete technique, Ye Chuan just read it casually and didn¡¯t cultivate it deeply. Tonight, he suddenly had a thought and carved it on that large small crystal man. And no need to mention the sequence of the technique, he still added many other techniques, like this, this technique was in a mess, but was she still able to achieve success in cultivating it? Liu Hong, this she-devil, is she truly a human? What¡¯s more, how long did she cultivate? The mind of Ye Chuan shook and was speechless. Originally, he only wanted to tease Liu Hong, this very calculating woman, but it seems, she truly was an authentic she-devil! But, even though her cultivation rose sharply in the short term, but cultivating this messy Cyan Feather Technique, didn¡¯t Liu Hong feared qi deviation and explosion of her brain? Ye Chuan shook his head as he begun to guess correctly, but this result was something that was truly hard to say. After getting out of the trouble with the help of Liu Hong, Na family brothers hastily ducked into one side and began breathing heavily. Na Shan was a bit better, his entire body was drenched with sweat, but as for Na Shui with only one leg, his trouser was wet. If Liu Hong was a bit late to make her move, then it would be hard to say whether he could survive or not, but at least he would have most likely lost his remaining leg too. ¡°Hahaha, fifth!¡± Liu Hong laughed heartily and with the flashing of the blade light, the fifth golem also became blind. It was easy to enter but leaving this temporary station however was hard. A cold light flashed and Liu Hong who was stepping on the flying sword landed on the tallest stone in the vicinity, then holding her head high, she uttered a long, loud cry, ¡°Heaven grade technique, hahaha, this really is a heaven grade technique. I want to incarnate into cyan feather, kill whoever obstruct me, hahahaha¡­..¡± Liu Hong was endlessly excited, and she suddenly slashed out her sword which happened to cut the tent on the ground. After that, the gorgeous tent along with that large small crystal man exploded into fragments. A priceless treasure was destroyed in just this fashion. Na Shan and Na Shui had regret on their face. They wanted to secretly comprehend this technique, but this chance was lost forever. Liu Hong however was indifferent and she continued to laugh heartily. All the runes, red lines and red specks of this small crystal man, she had already engraved in her mind, so this small crystal man was no longer needed. ¡°This she-devil, did she truly believes that she can be absolutely lawless?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, this was good for him, since this small crystal man he had forged was destroyed, even if he personally admit that it was a fake, perhaps, no one would believe him. Still, even if Liu Hong become powerful, she also wouldn¡¯t be able to behave wildly, millions of years ago, Cyan Feather Old Monster, this old evil spirit was also at his peak, but didn¡¯t he still die under his sword, how can Liu Hong again be more powerful than him? Ye Chuan coldly smiled and sitting cross-legged on the spot, he took out several small crystal men and began to comprehend the techniques of the world beyond the highest heaven. Chapter 197: Tyrannical Bird Chapter 197: Tyrannical Bird Altogether there were six small crystal men in front of Ye Chuan. Five were ash gray in color and only one was cyan in color. Ye Chuan casually scanned those five ash gray colored small crystal men, then putting them away, he focused on the cyan colored small man. The entire body of this small crystal man was cyan in color, and it was ice-cold to touch. It resembled as if it was forged with glittering and translucent cyan jade. There were many red specks and lines all over it. In a single glance, it looked quite chaotic, but looking carefully, there seemed to be a regular pattern. ¡°Your Excellency, don¡¯t use your eyes to look, use your spirit to sense.¡± The voice of old evil spirit Hei Kui resounded in the mind of Ye Chuan, and he still wanted to speak more, but the restriction of Cyan Lotus Lamp isolated him. After the experience of refining that demonic ginseng found within the body of the human-faced snake, Ye Chuan naturally knew what should he do, he didn¡¯t need to listen to the nagging of old evil spirit. At dawn, when the cold wind was the strongest, a cold wind whistled past his ears. Ye Chuan quietly sat crossed-legged on the ground, and his spirit suddenly came out and floated in the sky, then a small cyan lamp placed in front of him emitted a fine and continuous soft and warm cyan light. Myriad Beast Forest was dangerous and unfathomable, evil spirits ran wild here, and the night was even more dangerous. If ordinary people had to explore the way, then they would definitely tremble with terror, but Ye Chuan let out his spirit. For exploring the unknown things or comprehending unfamiliar technique, using spirit to sense wasn¡¯t enough. The best way was to immerse in the technique with spirit. 10 li away, Liu Hong and others were still attacking blind golems; 20 li away, a stone located in the west gently vibrated and cracks began to appear. Then a golem suddenly came out from inside this stone, and following the sounds, it also rushed towards Liu Hong and others; 30 li away, from a heap of stones, a dangerous aura was coming. It seems a yao beast was hidden there, ready to make trouble; ¡­¡­¡­ After sensing for a little while, the spirit of Ye Chuan could clearly sense even the rustle of leaves in the wind within the radius of 30 li, and then his spirit floated towards the cyan small crystal man, slowly immersing in it. After that, obscure technique and hand gestures appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. In a trance, Ye Chuan had an illusion, his spirit seemed to have reached a strange world. He seemed to have turned into a cyan small crystal man that was floating on the vast, boundless sea. The seawater of this sea was black. Every time a strong wind blew over, it would give rise to a black wave that was one kilometer tall. Undulating in the sky above this Black Sea was not the worldly spiritual qi of Wilderness World, rather a kind of indescribable and inexplicable energy. Absorbing a bit of it, he felt that it was so violent that it wanted to tear apart his body. And at the distant horizon, there were continuous snow-capped mountains without end. The energy fluctuation of that place was even more ferocious. Approaching a little, he felt as if his spirit was about to get torn. Ye Chuan suddenly woke up with a start and his entire body was drenched, moreover, his spirit and body had already fused together. Now, a hint of grey dawn had appeared on the horizon, Liu Hong and others were still battling with golems. It seems only a very short time had passed. But, he felt as if thousands of years had already passed, and he was physically and mentally exhausted. Strange, what was that technique? That Black Sea that he had seen just now, could it be that it was merely a dream, or to say, it was the so-called the world beyond the highest heaven? Ye Chuan had doubts in his heart, and he subconsciously lowered his head as his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. On the fingertip of his right hand¡¯s index finger, at an unknown time, a faint circular black qi was hovering just like wearing a black ring. This faint black qi gave a strong sense of danger, and it was completely incompatible with the worldly spiritual qi around. And when it continuously circled around, it gave the feeling as if it was tearing the world. ¡°This, isn¡¯t this similar to the energy fluctuation in the sky above the Black Sea?¡± Ye Chuan quickly identified what this was, and taking a deep breath, he silently circulated Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique to absorb this wisp of black qi within his body. A ferocious and violent energy fluctuation rapidly erupted within the body of Ye Chuan. In an instant, Ye Chuan felt strong burning sensation in his ribcage, stomach and throat, a stabbing pain came from all his limbs and bones, and his entire body creaked, moreover, he felt as if his body was unable to bear very soon and explode. ¡°In the previous lifetime, I only concealed the heaven with my hand, but in this lifetime, I want to swallow the heaven!¡± Ye Chuan roared, crazily circulating his five Heaven Swallowing Talismans to forcibly suppress and refine that hint of energy that came from the world beyond the highest heaven. His body continuously trembled, and pain rolled up as if the sea tide, becoming more and more intense, wanting to tear Ye Chuan¡¯s body, will and soul. If anyone else was here, then he/she would have discovered that each and every muscle of Ye Chuan was twisted, and his pores had reddened as if his body was about to explode. This scene was extremely frightening. Cyan Lotus Lamp suddenly shone and a fine and continuous warm cyan light illuminated Ye Chuan, reducing his pain. Ye Chuan trembled violently, and under the illumination of cyan light, he slowly simmered down. After a long time, the black qi that came from the world beyond the highest heaven disappeared. Now the five Heaven Swallowing Talismans were even more condensed and a hint of black light circulated around them. And when Ye Chuan stood up, his body unexpectedly made cracking sounds. He had unconsciously grown half-a-head taller, and with his punch, even the air distorted. His realm hadn¡¯t changed, was still Rank 4 Xiushi, and also hadn¡¯t condensed more Heaven Swallowing Talisman, still had five Heaven Swallowing Talismans, but his strength however had reached another level! ¡°Good lord, this isn¡¯t some cultivation technique, rather a passage to communicate with the world beyond the highest heaven!¡± Ye Chuan picked up the cyan small crystal man in front of him and was excited in his heart. This cyan small crystal man he had obtained unwittingly, compared to obtaining a technique, it can be said that it was much better as it made him have a glimpse of a corner of the world beyond the highest heaven. From now on, the world beyond the highest heaven was no longer purely imaginary legend, rather a truly existed world. That world was far vaster compared to Wilderness World and the worldly power was also hundred times more violent. Or to say, that place was the real Wilderness World! Millions of years ago, when Ye Chuan could conceal the heaven with his hand, he had heard a sentence that was passed-down by Buddha from ancient times. See mountain is not a mountain, see water is not a water, the world people see is void, is fake and not the true Wilderness World. [T/N: Everything is much more than what meets in the eye] At that time, when Ye Chuan heard these words, he had laughed away, but now it appeared that this sentence of Buddha had the arcane truth! When Ye Chuan was excited and lost in thought, Ye Chuan suddenly felt a strong danger. Ye Chuan suddenly turned around and at the horizon, from the end of this Myriad Beast Forest, suddenly a small black dot appeared, and it was at least one hundred li away. But, in the blink of an eye, that small black dot was only 20 li away, and after another blink of an eye, a huge flying bird appeared in front of Ye Chuan and its big sharp claws went straight for the cyan small crystal man in the hand of Ye Chuan. How is this a flying bird? The throat of Ye Chuan dried. The flying bird that appeared in front of him was nearly ten times bigger than ordinary dog-headed golem. Its wings were 100 meters long when stretched and its body was also completely made up of stone. Even very small feathers on its wings were made up of hard stones. No need to speak about its violent power, its movement was also agile and quick, and its sharp claws were even sharper than flying swords. Moreover, its huge stone body make people feel violence and oppression, bearing a striking resemblance to a Tyrannical Bird! Chapter 197: Tyrannical restriction Chapter 197: Tyrannical restriction A loud and clear cry of a bird resounded through the sky. A Tyrannical Bird completely made up of stones flew over ferociously and its sharp claws, one grabbed towards the cyan small crystal man in the hand of Ye Chuan and the other grabbed towards the head of Ye Chuan. Compared to the common golems, this fellow was more powerful. If its sharp claw successfully grabbed his head, then at least a layer of skin would be stripped off. ¡°Just a damned bird but also want to go rampant?¡± Ye Chuan put away Cyan Lotus Lamp, then firmly nailing his legs on the stone, he held the cyan small crystal man with his left hand and tightly curled up the fingers of his right hand into a fist. The speed of Tyrannical Bird was astonishing. In an instant, it arrived in front of Ye Chuan, but the moment its sharp claws were about to touch Ye Chuan, its chest suddenly sunken, and unable to bear the ferocious punch of Ye Chuan, its body completely made up of stones was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. And its sharp claws were unable to touch even his hair. Crack! The air rippled and twisted. This punch of Ye Chuan gave rise to the sonic boom along with a loud sound. Everything happened in a blink of an eye. His punch was so fast that an average person couldn¡¯t see it clearly. A loud and clear cry of a bird resounded once again as Tyrannical Bird that was forced back by a punch staged a comeback, diving straight down from the high altitude. But when it was about to arrive just above the head of Ye Chuan, it abruptly changed direction at a high speed and suddenly appeared behind Ye Chuan, then its sharp claws ferociously advanced towards Ye Chuan wanting tear his body into pieces. Compared to common golems, this Tyrannical Bird was not only agile and fast, it was very crafty too like great devils, and it wasn¡¯t clumsy and stiff like other golems. Suddenly, its sharp claws ferociously stabbed towards the shoulders of Ye Chuan and using its strength, it wanted to rip Ye Chuan into two pieces. Ye Chuan took a deep breath, at this juncture when his life was at stake, his eyes glimmered with a trace of ferociousness, he didn¡¯t try to dodge, rather he suddenly turned around and ferociously punched right in the chest of Tyrannical Bird, and with five Heaven Swallowing Talismans crazily circulating within his body, the strength of 90,000 jin suddenly exploded. One man one bird simultaneously let out a muffled groan. The instant Ye Chuan forcibly turned around, the sharp claws of this Tyrannical Bird ripped off the flesh of his back, so now, his back was bloody. As for Tyrannical Bird, it was also not in a good shape, suffering such a powerful hit on its chest in succession, a crack appeared on its body. This crack started from the chest and reach all the way to its wings, then it fell from the sky. ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Chuan ferociously roared, and regardless of the injuries on his back, he jumped down the stone and ferociously punched once again. He didn¡¯t know whether this was because of injuries or refining that wisp of energy of the word beyond the highest heaven, his fighting intent was surging and deep in his heart, he thirsted for blood and battle, moreover, he wanted to use the most primitive way to finish off the enemy, eager to personally tear the other party into two. At an unknown time, the grey mist in the sky of Myriad Beast Forest had already become very dense. In the midst of dense grey mist, dangers were lurking around, and the sky was full of a tyrannical energy fluctuation, moreover, innumerable golems broke out of their stones and were wandering around small and big narrow winding trails. In the temporary station, Liu Hong, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others were visibly shaking and their eyes were also red. But Ye Chuan who was in the midst of fighting was entirely unaware of these changes. He was ferociously punching this Tyrannical Bird¡¯s head with all his strength. Along with the cry of a bird, this bird golem collapsed and died, and a dark red crystal rolled out from inside its body. Ye Chuan picked it up and examined. This small crystal didn¡¯t record any technique and also wasn¡¯t anything profound, it was merely a lump of majestic pure energy, completely different from all the small crystal men they obtained before. A loud and clear cry of bird resounded once again. Ye Chuan looked up and saw quite a few Tyrannical Birds in the sky. One of them dived straight down towards him, and others flew towards the temporary station where Liu Hong and others were staying. And after getting rid of the Tyrannical Bird that approached him, he rushed towards the temporary station. He saw Liu Hong and others had already fallen into a hopeless situation, suffering the joint attack of a group of golems. Now, in the sky, there were several Tyrannical Bird circling around, and the ground, there were more than ten golems. ¡°Eh, something is wrong, all of them are bedeviled, this is¡­¡­, a power of restriction!¡± Ye Chuan prepared to make a move to rescue but he suddenly noticed something amiss. Inside the temporary station, all five people including Liu Hong were fighting without sparing no effort. Their eyes were very red and even Tuoba Xiaoniao who always resembled a delicate endearing little bird was dashing ahead regardless of her safety to kill. Even though her body was already covered with blood, she didn¡¯t even think to dodge, rather she blindly rushed towards numerous golems. This wasn¡¯t tenacious, clearly was bedeviled, and they were gradually losing their original intention. Ye Chuan calmly thought and he quickly realized the changed of Myriad Beast Forest. It seemed, after he comprehended the mystery of that cyan small man and his spirit touched a corner of the world beyond the highest heaven, he unwittingly activated the restriction of Myriad Beast Forest. Looking all around, he saw more and more golems were pouring out, and even though Liu Hong and others were extraordinarily brave like this, if this battle continued like this, then they were screwed! Ye Chuan suddenly held his head high, then uttered a long, loud cry. This roar, as if tigers roaring and as if dragons roaring, reverberated throughout the entire Myriad Beast Forest. ¡°What¡¯s going on here? How come so many golems appear all of a sudden?¡± Quick, run over to noble son Ye, quickly run!¡± Liu Hong and others trembled and their eyes reverted back to their original state, then looking all around, everyone turned pale with fright. Still, Liu Hong reacted the fastest, she subconsciously stepped on her flying sword and rushed towards Ye Chuan. After that, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others quickly followed. ¡°There is a drastic change in Myriad Beast Forest, let¡¯s go, we are running all the way, the sooner the better.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have time to explain, he immediately rushed forward, but a Tyrannical Bird appeared in front of him blocking his way, however, before it could even use its sharp claws to attack, a ferocious punch of Ye Chuan sent it flying. After forming a team and entering Myriad Beast Forest, Ye Chuan had concealed his strength, coldly looking at the rampant Liu Hong and Na family brothers. But now, when the situation was grim, he couldn¡¯t afford to conceal his strength. The complexion of Liu Hong, Na family brothers and others changed as they looked at Ye Chuan in disbelief. Just a moment ago, even when all five of them joined forces, they were unable to kill a single Tyrannical Bird, but here, a casual punch of Ye Chuan send one flying, what did this explain? This kid, sure enough, he was deeply hidden! The five people had different expressions, Big Lu and Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s eyes shone as they saw a hope getting out of this difficult situation. As for Na family brothers, they trembled and a trace of fear and uneasiness flashed in their eyes. Liu Hong¡¯s expression however was somewhat complicated. After comprehending Cyan Feather Technique recorded in that large small crystal man and achieving success in its cultivation, she was in high-spirit and vigorous, resolving to become number one in the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range, but in an instant, this beautiful dream was shattered by Ye Chuan. ¡°Run, quickly run, if you all don¡¯t want to die then keep up the pace!¡± Ye Chuan ran without even turning his head. He had a premonition that the restriction of Myriad Beast Forest had just begun, and more and more powerful golems would come out. If they didn¡¯t leave now, then even if a Daoist Master realm expert was here, then he might also die here. ¡°Run!¡± Liu Hong and others came back to their senses, and everyone hastily kept pace with Ye Chuan. Even though they were stepping on the flying sword, they could only keep up the pace with Ye Chuan who was opening a way in the front with difficulty. Tuoba Xiaoniao was still well as she could fly on her flying sword. But Big Lu was anxious as he could only advance forward by jumping along the stones like Ye Chuan, but his speed however was much slower than Ye Chuan. Even after he discarded the hard-earned heavy hammer, he was still unable to keep up with the speed of others and he slowly fell far behind everyone. Chapter 197: Anxious broken leg Chapter 197: Anxious broken leg The group of people that were running wild in stone forest quickly alarmed golems wandering around in the surroundings. All the golems that rushed out to block the way were either sent flying or directly killed by a punch of Ye Chuan. Now, Ye Chuan was in the front, Liu Hong was close behind him, then was Na Shan and Na Shui, and then Tuoba Xiaoniao. The strength of Ye Chuan had greatly benefited them. But it was different for Big Lu who was left far behind. At an unknown time, a long string of golems was chasing behind him, and the numbers of golems were increasing. Just looking at this scene could cause people tremble with fear and their legs go soft. A loud and clear cry of birds came from further behind. A Tyrannical Bird took the lead to chase. Flapping its huge wings, it bore down menacingly and its claw ferociously reached towards Big Lu to grab him. Big Lu quickly reacted, dodging the first attack of this Tyrannical Bird, but he was not so lucky in the next moment as a piece of his right leg¡¯s flesh was torn off by this Tyrannical Bird. And after he was slightly slowed down, a string of golems behind him nearly caught up to him. There were dog-headed golems, tiger-headed golems, furthermore a number of ferocious big fellows. If he was submerged by them, then he might not even leave an intact corpse. ¡°Miss Liu, save me, Miss Liu, save me¡­¡­¡± Big Lu screamed, wailing to Liu Hong for help. He wanted to run faster however he couldn¡¯t. Under the attack of Tyrannical Bird, dangers were lurking on all sides, and he basically lacked the strength to break out of this encirclement. Liu Hong slightly paused and then coldly continued to fly forward as before with indifference expression. Before, in order to draw Big Lu to her side, she spoke with him affectionately, and this instantly charmed Big Lu who hadn¡¯t even touched the hand of a woman before. But now, Myriad Beast Forest had changed all of a sudden, and seeing Big Lu was useless, moreover, was dragging her down, she didn¡¯t even look at him. ¡°Save me, save me¡­¡­¡± Seeing Liu Hong was getting farther and farther away without even looking back, Big Lu was increasingly disappointed in his heart. Before, Tuoba Xiaoniao had secretly warned him to be careful of Liu Hong and said not to believe in her, but at that time, he didn¡¯t take that warning seriously. Now, he finally saw the real face of Liu Hong. When there was no problem, she used sweet words and honeyed phrases to make him the spearhead of the attack, but when in true danger, she nevertheless didn¡¯t even bother to take a single glance at him. This woman is too heartless! The heart of Big Lu instantly became cold, and his limbs also became ice-cold, but he felt pain in his shoulder as the Tyrannical Bird ripped off a piece of flesh. Now, the other golems were only several meters behind him. At this moment, let alone bare-handed, even if he had that heavy hammer, he would certainly die. Now, he was on the brink of being submerged by the tide of golems. ¡°Big Lu, grab firmly!¡± When Big Lu had given up all his hopes and was waiting for the death, he suddenly heard a voice as a thick cord appeared in front of him. He subconsciously grabbed it and was pulled forward by Ye Chuan. Behind, numerous golems simultaneously roared as their attacks failed. Hearing the call for help and wail of Big Lu, Liu Hong was indifference, but Ye Chuan who was rushing in the front however suddenly made a move. At the critical moment, he pulled out Big Lu from the edge of the life and death. ¡°Thank you, thank you, noble son Ye.¡± Big Lu who had just escaped from death was endlessly excited as tears filled his eyes. He had never thought that, at the last moment, the person who would save him wasn¡¯t gentle and thoughtful Liu Hong, rather Ye Chuan whom he had somewhat looked down upon for his trifling cultivation of Rank 3 Xiushi. ¡°Try to keep up, don¡¯t fall behind!¡± Ye Chuan patted the shoulder of Big Lu then began to rush forward again, opening the way. He punched and an ear-piercing sound of sonic boom resounded as a Tyrannical Bird was sent flying again. In former days, such violent power of Ye Chuan made people jumpy, but at this very moment, it sounded like the world¡¯s most beautiful music. Looking at Ye Chuan summoning up all of his courage and energy to advance forward without letting a teammate fall behind, Tuoba Xiaoniao suddenly became absent-minded, and nearly crashing against the golem that appeared from the flank, she woke up with a start. Dong, dong, dong, a series of sounds came from far away. This continuous sound was low and powerful as if was coming from the far-off horizon and also as if coming from the depth of the ground. The grey mist floated in the air, and the golems wandering around became even more violent. Each and every one of them dashed ahead regardless of their safety chasing after Ye Chuan and his group. Standing at a high place and looking all around, one could see all kinds of golems were rushing towards them from all direction and they were so many in numbers that it could make the scalp of people tingle. Ye Chuan accelerated once again, leading everyone inside Myriad Beast Forest like a hurricane. Along the way, he had beheaded or sent flying unknown numbers of golems. Sometimes, treasures would burst out of those golems but they wouldn¡¯t pick them up as they didn¡¯t have time. Everybody used all their strength to run wildly. Perhaps, he knew that falling behind meant certain death, or perhaps, he received a stimulation, Big Lu¡¯s potential erupted and his speed vastly increased as he closely followed Tuoba Xiaoniao. Over time, Na Shui with only one leg fell behind. Overrating his own abilities, he had lost one of his legs and was seriously injured, moreover, his injuries had yet to recover fully, so although he was flying with his flying sword, his stamina was slowly unable to keep up. Shortly after he fell behind, innumerable golems began to surround him from all sides. ¡°Big brother, save me, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, save me, Big Senior Apprentice Sister¡­¡­¡± Seeing a large group of golems was getting nearer and nearer, Na Shui with only one leg wailed mournfully as if a slaughtered pig, shouting himself hoarse. He didn¡¯t want to die, he didn¡¯t want to helplessly watch himself being torn apart by numerous golems! ¡°Second brother¡­¡­¡± Na Shan of Five Style Sect quickly turned around and saw his brother Na Shui had fallen into the encirclement of golems, then crying out in alarm, when he was about to rush back and make a move to save his brother regardless of everything, a hand pressed his shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t go, it¡¯s already too late, we are unable to save him.¡± Liu Hong indifferently said as she reached out her hand to stop Na Shan. Na Shui was already screwed and she didn¡¯t want to lose Na Shan, the only remaining follower, too. After cultivating Cyan Feather Technique, her speed had increased vastly, even if she didn¡¯t use flying sword she might not necessarily be any slower than Ye Chuan, but she didn¡¯t have any intention to make a move to save Na Shui. She didn¡¯t even have any intention to put on a show of trying to save him. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, he is my younger brother, my biological younger brother!¡± Na Shan roared loudly with a look of sadness. Liu Hong was dumbfounded, in her memory, reverent and respectful Na Shan had never defied her. Now, Na Shan, who was obedient like a sheep in front of her in former days, roared violently as if a wounded yao beast. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, save me, big brother, save me, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister, save me¡­¡­¡± Na Shui wailed mournfully as he felt a burst of unbearable pain. Now, his remaining leg was also bitten by one dog-headed golem and a bone cracking sound resounded as it wanted to bite off his leg. Now, he was completely surrounded by the tide of golems. ¡°Idiot, now that you cannot fly in the sky and run in the ground, why don¡¯t you run underground?¡± A familiar voice suddenly resounded right beside the ears of Na Shui. Moreover, the stone under him suddenly blew open and a figure broke out from the ground, then that figure punched the dog-headed golem that was biting the only leg of Na Shui, and then pulling Na Shui underground, he rushed forward. Ye Chuan made a move once again. He used earth style to save Na Shui. Although he didn¡¯t find this fellow pleasing to his eyes, at the critical moment, he decided to make a move. Is it him? Is it Ye Chuan that save me? Na Shui found this hard to believe, then with tears streaming down his cheeks, he felt too ashamed to show his face. Chapter 203: She-devil’s road to ruin Chapter 203: She-devil¡¯s road to ruin After saving Na Shui of Five Style Sect, Ye Chuan continued to lead everyone, running wildly in the stone forest. And unwittingly, a subtle change appeared in the midst of their formation. Now, Ye Chuan was still rushing in the front, opening a way. Liu Hong stepping on her flying sword was closely following behind, and behind her was Tuoba Xiaoniao, Big Lu, Na Shan and Na Shui. They four followed after Ye Chuan while helping each other breaking out of an encirclement as they vaguely increased a distance from Liu Hong, rejecting her. Needless to say Big Lu who was disappointed on Liu Hong, who didn¡¯t try to even save him when he was in mortal danger, after escaping by the sky of his teeth, even Na Shan and Na Shui, these two brothers who originally were the trusted subordinates of Liu Hong, now, being dissatisfied with her began to drift apart. As a result, gorgeously dressed Liu Hong, from a team captain with attendants crowding around change into a person in utter isolation. Who was Liu Hong? She was a woman who was skilled in discerning what people thought from their body language and also was a woman adept at scheming. She quickly realized the attitude of people around her, but she was not only not ashamed, instead, she calmly followed behind Ye Chuan with a cloudy complexion. And without saying anything, she pretended to know nothing, but sinisterly looking towards Ye Chuan, she would frequently initiate a swift and fierce attack, stabbing the eyes of golems. She was quick and ruthless. This woman really was a heavenly-gifted she-devil! Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t turn his head but was acutely aware of the vicious glare of Liu Hong, still, he just sneered. In the exploration of this Paradise Realm, he didn¡¯t want to deliberately complicate the issue, but, if Liu Hong didn¡¯t know how to be sensible truly thinking she could do whatever she wanted after comprehending a bit of Cyan Feather Technique, then it would be her fault. Dong, dong, dong, a series of muffled sounds resounded again, then the grey mist shrouding Myriad Beast Forest became denser and denser, and the golems wandering around also became all the more violent. At that time, Ye Chuan in the front suddenly stopped. In the left side of his front, roughly 100 meters away, behind a group of dog-headed golems, he indistinctly saw a unique fellow. This was a human-faced snake body golem whose entire body made up of a stone lump and even the fine scales of its tail were forged with stones. It was incomparably strange and a single glance could make people have their hair standing on end. Human-faced snake! Another human-faced snake appeared. Hiding behind a group of dog-headed golems, it seemed to have misgivings about the strength of Ye Chuan and also seemed to be waiting for a favorable opportunity to initiate a ferocious surprise attack. These kinds of human-faced beast body fellows were comparatively harder to deal than Tyrannical Birds. ¡°You all, go ahead, I will catch up very soon!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly left the ranks and rushed towards the human-faced golem. When he reached in front of a dog-headed golem, before it had time to attack, his single punch sent it flying. Human-faced snakes were abnormally violent and were hard to deal with but the treasure sealed within them were also similarly unusual. After tasting the benefit of demonic ginseng, Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t let this chance slip off. Hiss! Human-faced snake hiding behind dog-head golems suddenly help its head high and opening its mouth, it spat out a mouthful of deathly venom. And at the same time, all the golems around rushed towards Ye Chuan, ignoring Tuoba Xiaoniao and others as if dog-headed golems, tiger-headed golems and other commonly seen golems listened to the command of this human-faced snake. Tuoba Xiaoniao and other immediately felt a great decrease in pressure, so they were relieved, but as for Ye Chuan, the pressure suddenly increased vastly as he was completely surrounded by golems. This sudden change made Tuoba Xiaoniao and others stop and they didn¡¯t know whether they should continue forward to break out of an encirclement or rush over to help Ye Chuan. Big Lu, Na Shui of Five Style Sect were feeling even more contradictory. The reason told them that they should take advantage of this chance to break out of an encirclement, but their lives were just saved by Ye Chuan, so how could they abandon Ye Chuan alone to deal with such danger and leave? ¡°Go, quickly run, I¡¯ll immediately catch up!¡± Ye Chuan shouted loudly, ordering Tuoba Xiaoniao and others to leave quickly, and he however ran wildly stepping on the head of numerous dog-headed golems, rushing towards the human-faced snake who was hiding behind and issuing commands, then he ferociously released a punch. A ferocious punch gave rise to a violent wind. The abdomen of this human-faced snake was sunken. This single punch of Ye Chuan would definitely crack open its stone body if hit. With the sudden eruption of Ye Chuan¡¯s 90,000 jin strength, let alone stone, even if its body was made up of iron and steel, it would still be unable to withstand his punch. Hiss! The human-faced snake issued a hiss as its body strangely swayed and twisted, and then the punch of Ye Chuan brush past it. After that, the human-faced snake landed on the ground and suddenly pounced on Ye Chuan, and its poison fang suddenly enlarged in the eyes of Ye Chuan. After dodging the attack of Ye Chuan, it instantly initiated a ferocious counter-attack. ¡°What a long snake, unfortunately, you are dead!¡± Ye Chuan sneered and extremely thin sharp blades became visible between his fingers. It appeared as if his punch had failed, but his blades had ruthlessly cut open the abdomen of the human-faced golem. After a horizontal cut, taking advantage of retracting his hand, he cut it vertically too. Now, the human-faced snake had many huge cross wounds and blood flowed out from those wounds, and its blood corroded the stone below it. ¡°Give me something good!¡± Ye Chuan moved sideways to dodge the blood gushing out from the abdomen of this human-faced snake. And just when he was about to kill this different type golem, a sword light suddenly flashed before his eyes as Liu Hong stepping on a flying sword rushed ahead directly reaching out her hand towards the abdomen of this human-faced snake, wanting to seize the treasure sealed within the latter¡¯s body. All along the road, Ye Chuan who had opened the path in front had killed many Tyrannical Birds, dog-headed golems and tiger-headed golems, but he never even glanced at the treasures sealed within their body. But, here, he suddenly left the ranks to behead this human-faced beast body human-faced snake. This was obviously too abnormal. The only explanation was the treasure sealed within the body of human-faced snake far surpassed ordinary small crystal men and its value might be ten times or even hundred times higher. Liu Hong didn¡¯t say anything, but she secretly paid attention to every move of Ye Chuan and suddenly at the critical moment, she suddenly made a move. After tasting the sweet taste of Cyan Feather Technique, she yearned for even more peerless treasure and aspired even stronger fighting capacity! ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong who had made a preemptive move suddenly screamed and retreated. Now, her right hand was dripping with blood. Just now she searched inside the abdomen of this human-faced snake, but let alone finding a treasure sealed within its body, her hand was nearly corroded. Like this, she was delayed and the heavily injured human-faced snake took advantage of this time to reach a heap of stones and disappeared among them. Ye Chuan was a step too late. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, you truly came in perfect time!¡± Ye Chuan sneered, and shooting a single glance at the bloody hand of Liu Hong, he turned around and left, again leading Tuoba Xiaoniao and others to break out of an encirclement. Behind, Liu Hong snorted coldly and stepping on her flying sword, she followed behind. Looking at Ye Chuan in the front, her complexion became even more sinister. She made a preemptive move wanting to snatch the treasure within the body of that human-faced snake, but to her surprise, she didn¡¯t obtain a thing and even didn¡¯t know what was sealed within its body, instead nearly lost her hand! Liu Hong ferociously stared at the back view of Ye Chuan and her eyes showed an ominous glint. Now, she didn¡¯t have even a trace of her sweet and gentle appearance of former days. The path leading to she-devil, the more Liu Hong walked the farther she reached. Don¡¯t know whether she was also affected by the tyrannical restriction of Myriad Beast Forest or she began to suffer from qi deviation cultivating Cyan Feather Technique which was in a mess, she became more and more ruthless and tyrannical. Chapter 204: Demonic Dragon Guard Chapter 204: Demonic Dragon Guard Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even glance at Liu Hong and quickly chased after Tuoba Xiaoniao and others, and very soon, the five people joined together and cooperated to break out of the encirclement. From behind, a wisp of strong wind came as Liu Hong stepping on flying sword caught up to them without uttering a word. Her figure was still bewitchingly charming, and her shining white legs were still revealed, moreover, after comprehending Cyan Feather Technique, she looked even more light and graceful with exquisite bearing, but in the eyes of Big Lu, she nevertheless was insipid, he didn¡¯t have even a trace of the previous infatuation. As for Na Shan and Na Shui of Five Style Sect, they also didn¡¯t even turn their head to look, pretending to not know she had already caught up to them. After running wildly for no less than two hours, at the distant place, they finally saw the edge of this stone forest. Outside of this stone forest was a towering imperial palace which was shrouded in dense grey mist. They didn¡¯t see a small bridge and flowing river, and also didn¡¯t see flowers, plants and trees, merely saw a wide expanse of continuous flying eaves. When the strong wind blew, the grey mist rippled and they vaguely saw ¡®Chaotian Palace¡¯, these three ancient words that were dazzling with golden light. Although looked grand and magnificent, in the entire broad Paradise Realm, it appeared as if it was merely a corner of an iceberg, just an auxiliary palace. Ye Chuan suddenly stopped his steps, not because he wanted to enjoy the sight of grand and powerful Chaotian Palace, rather because of a group of golems that blocked their path. Perhaps they were determined to spell an end to Ye Chuan¡¯s group inside this Myriad Beast Forest, all the golems in front of them were especially powerful. In a single glance, they could see many more than 10 meters tall golems everywhere, and in the sky, there was a group of fierce tyrannical birds circling around. Moreover, at the edge of this stone forest, there furthermore was a group of human-faced golems too. Along the entire way, they had discovered only two human-faced snakes, but here, there were at least 20-30 of them. These innumerable golems rushed towards them from all direction. Tuoba Xiaoniao and others also stopped and seeing the situation in the front, their complexion changed greatly. ¡°Noble son Ye, what should we do?¡± Na Shan of Five Style Sect looked pale and at the juncture where his life was at stake, he couldn¡¯t afford to think about his face, and he took the initiative to ask Ye Chuan for instruction. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak and continuously looking at the golems in the front, his complexion became more and more strained. After a good while, pointing at that group of human-faced golems, he explained in a low voice, ¡°Take note of that group of human-faced snakes. I will count down from five, then I will rush forward to draw the attention of those human-faced snakes, at that time, you all, take advantage of that time to rush ahead from the right to break out of the encirclement. Run as fast as you all can, otherwise you all might not be able to break out.¡± ¡°Noble son Ye, then what about you?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao blurted out. ¡°I have my own means, Xiaoniao, didn¡¯t you say I am a very bad fellow? Bad fellows don¡¯t die so easily, I will live past millennium disaster!¡± Ye Chuan said with a bad smile, and without waiting for the answer of Tuoba Xiaoniao, he began the countdown in low voice, ¡°5¡­¡­, 4¡­¡­, 3¡­¡­¡± When Ye Chuan counted to 1, he jumped and rushed towards human-faced golems. Na Shan, Na Shui and others simultaneously changed direction and rushed forward from the right. Tuoba Xiaoniao had a complex expression looking at the back view of Ye Chuan as she spared no effort to keep up the pace with everyone. At that time, from behind, a wave of sounds brushed past her as Liu Hong stepping on a flying sword rushed ahead of everyone. Straight ahead there were many golems, but there were many golems at the right side too. Moreover, tyrannical birds circling in the sky also issued a long, loud cry and rushed towards Tuoba Xiaoniao and others. Even if there weren¡¯t any golems blocking their path, this group of tyrannical birds was enough to get rid of this group of five. Tuoba Xiaoniao and others suddenly became nervous, and with those tyrannical birds approaching closer and closer, they could even see the stone feathers that forged their wings, moreover, they clearly saw those pairs of sharp claws emitting pallid light. The group of five involuntarily slowed down and their eyes were full of fear. Rushing ahead at full speed like this, wouldn¡¯t this deliver them directly to the doorstep of these tyrannical birds to be torn into pieces? Together with Liu Hong, the entire group quickly became suspicious. Some subconsciously went left and some went right to dodge, no one dared to be the first to meet these tyrannical birds first. ¡°Speed up, rush forward in a single breath!¡± A low and compelling voice suddenly resounded in the mind of Tuoba Xiaoniao. That was the voice of Ye Chuan. Tuoba Xiaoniao slightly hesitated, then gritting her teeth, she rushed up in the front. Although she had many prejudices against Ye Chuan, for an unknown reason, her heart had inexplicable trust in him. 200 meters, 100 meters, 30 meters¡­¡­ Tuoba Xiaoniao who was rushing in the front gritting her teeth got closer and closer to tyrannical birds. She knew that if she faced these tyrannical birds by herself, then she was certain to die. But, although it was very dangerous ahead, Tuoba Xiaoniao still ran straight ahead and looking up, she saw the sharp claws of these tyrannical birds were assuming a posture of tearing her into pieces. Behind, Na Shan and others who were still hesitating on what to do simultaneously cried out in alarm and as for Tuoba Xiaoniao, she simply closed her eyes and paying attention to nothing, she continued to rush forward. Whoosh! A bone-chilling gale blew against her face and she felt pain in her cheek. In the moment of this head-on collision, Tuoba Xiaoniao was so nervous that her heart nearly jumped out of her mouth, but the expected scene of her torn into pieces didn¡¯t appear. After rushing more than 10 meters, she turned around to look and saw the group of tyrannical birds had suddenly increased their altitude. After that, in the sky, they turned around and rushed towards Ye Chuan. Not only this group of tyrannical birds, even those golems that were formerly blocking her path were rushing towards Ye Chuan. Now, all golems were in a state of disorder. Ye Chuan while rushing towards those human-faced snakes took out that cyan small man and instantly, all of those golems were drawn towards him. Why did Ye Chuan do this? Is it for her? Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s steps paused but immediately afterwards, she gritted her teeth and rushed forward reaching the wide expanse of flat land without any golem. Behind, Na Shan, Na Shui, Big Lu and Liu Hong were not so lucky. Their hesitation for a moment got them surrounded by golems. Behind human-faced snakes, suddenly a roughly 3 meters long spotlessly white small dragon with sharp outgrowth bones on its back who looked as if it was just born appeared. But, among stone golems, it had the greatest authority. Raising its head high, it issued a dragon roar, and then the golems attracted by the cyan small crystal man divided themselves into two groups. One group rushed towards Ye Chuan and the other groups surrounded Big Lu and others. ¡°Wishing you a good luck, my lady, if predetermined by fate, then we will meet again.¡± The voice of Ye Chuan once again resounded in the mind of Tuoba Xiaoniao, then with his body issuing cracking sounds while trembling, he suddenly emitted a majestic energy fluctuation. He completely released the suppressed true power of his five Heaven Swallowing Talismans and rushed straight forward. Even though he was surrounded by innumerable golems, Ye Chuan was nervous and restless but he even more was excited. After entering this Paradise Realm, it was the first time he was so excited. Demonic Dragon! This is a Demonic Dragon, newly born Demonic Dragon that came from the world beyond the highest heaven! Ye Chuan immediately identified that spotlessly white as if jade little dragon. The deductions he had made before when he had seen that stone coffin were really correct. This place really was the legendary Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Killing this newly born demonic dragon, he might obtain the inheritance of this Paradise Realm, comprehending the arcane truth of the world beyond the highest heaven. Chapter 205: A drop of Demonic Dragon blood Chapter 205: A drop of Demonic Dragon blood Tuoba Xiaoniao did her utmost to rush out of Myriad Beast Forest in one breath, then turning around, she saw Big Lu, Liu Hong and others were heavily surrounded by many stone golems. And on the other side, even greater number of golems had submerged Ye Chuan alone. Frequently, tall and big golems would fly out and burst apart, and occasionally, the figure of Ye Chuan was vaguely visible. On the ground, there were hundreds of golems and even more golems were pouring out from the vicinity. In the sky, there was an entire line up of tyrannical birds circling around, looking for a chance to pounce down. Under this kind of circumstances, even a Daoist Master realm expert might not necessarily be able to escape unscathed, how would Ye Chuan deal with this situation? Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s hands and legs become cold. She thought to turn around and return to save, but she gave up. With her cultivation realm of Rank 4 Xiushi, to be able to rush out of Myriad Beast Forest was already an absolute luck. Recklessly rushing back would not only not save Ye Chuan, she would only be rushing to her death, moreover, she might even drag down Ye Chuan with her. Standing at the edge of Myriad Beast Forest, she could still hear a series of muffled rumbling sounds coming from inside the stone forest. At that time, those 20-30 human-faced snakes that were the final line of defense also moved, writhing their body, they quickly rushed towards Ye Chuan, joining the battle. As for that white jade-like small Demonic Dragon, it held its head high and issued a loud dragon roar, then it also rushed forward. The golems inside the stone forest became even more violent, each and every one of them initiated ferocious attacks without defending, but Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t collapse. However, at the side of Big Lu and others, they were unable to bear much longer. Na Shui of Five Style Sect who had only one leg wailed mournfully. A dog-headed golem had bitten his neck, then with a crack sound, his neck was broken as he collapsed to the ground. ¡°Second brother, second brother¡­¡­¡± Yet another disciple of Five Style Sect, Na Shan screamed and spared no effort wanting to rush over and save. But suddenly, a tiger-headed golem rushed over from the flank and directly press him down. Being press down suddenly by a golem that was as heavy as a small mountain, Na Shan whose cultivation wasn¡¯t shallow was flattened. As for Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu Hong standing at the side, from the beginning to the end, she just looked coldly without helping until his death. Even if she had just stretched out her hand and pulled, then Na Shan might have survived, but she didn¡¯t, she just dodged the attack of a golem. ¡°I¡­ wrong, second brother, we¡­, all wrong¡­¡­¡± Na Shan muttered and looking at the white clouds in the sky, he stopped breathing. On his deathbed, he was incomparably regretful. He regretted not following the instruction of Ye Chuan like Tuoba Xiaoniao. If they had run like a mad risking everything, then they would have already rushed out of Myriad Beast Forest like Tuoba Xiaoniao, and they brothers wouldn¡¯t have lost their lives. A sad and shrill scream resounded once again. Big Lu also fell. Even though he had a doughty body, he was of no match for numerous golems who had stone lumps for their bodies. After Na Shan and Na Shui died, the pressure on his immediately multiplied by several times, and he wasn¡¯t able to hold on even a few rounds. On the contrary, gorgeously dressed Liu Hong who pretended to be weak in former days depending on just comprehended Cyan Feather Technique, she moved all around while repeatedly dodging the attacks of numerous golems. Her speed became faster and faster and truly like a feather, she quickly drifted around in the stone forest. Now her bearing was so lithe and graceful that she could dazzle people. Tuoba Xiaoniao who was standing at the edge of this stone forest looked up, but now, she already couldn¡¯t clearly see the face of Liu Hong, she could only see her shining white pair of legs wandering all around. On the other side, Ye Chuan was also in danger. With 20-30 human-faced snakes joining the battle, dangers were lurking on his all sides. The small Demonic Dragon floated in mid-air, and the outgrowth bones on its back were also ready to make a move. Once it made a move in person, it would be a deadly blow. Tuoba Xiaoniao suddenly got nervous and her heartbeat accelerated as she felt a feeling of suffocation. A dimly discernible sound of singing suddenly resounded in the stone forest. This sound of singing was very faint, it was like a passionate maiden pouring out her heart and also like a singing of a fairy that had fallen to this mortal world. This sound of singing felt as if it was purely imaginary that didn¡¯t belong to this mortal world. Obviously, no one could clearly hear what this singing was, but that voice and that rhythm were mesmerizing causing people to enter a trance. Tuoba Xiaoniao who was standing at the edge of the stone forest became absent-minded and she instantly forgot where she was. She seemed to have returned to Black Cauldron Sect, returning to her carefree childhood times. She stood there motionless, forgot her nervousness, anxiety and troubles, forgetting everything. Inside Stone Forest, with Ye Chuan as the center, within the radius of 1 kilometer, all golems simultaneously stopped and stood motionless, maintaining different postures. It appeared as if time seemed to have frozen in this instant. If Tuoba Xiaoniao came back to her sense at this moment, then she would have discovered that at the side of Ye Chuan, at an unknown time, a graceful black-robed woman with a fair and smooth skin which let alone herself, all the girls she had ever seen couldn¡¯t compare had appeared. And looking at the moist ground below her feet, she appeared as if she had just come out of the water. Sea Demon¡¯s song! Ye Chuan who was unable to break out of this heavy besiege summoned the female Sea Demon, Hai Lili, from inside the space of Cyan Lotus Lamp. And the sudden use of Sea Demon clan¡¯s innate technique had a great effect. Making Tuoba Xiaoniao and others separately break out of the encirclement and he himself rushing towards the group of human-faced snakes to draw their attention by himself, Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t done this on impulse, rather he had already made the preparation. This mysterious Sea Demon, after taming, had become one of his trump card! At this moment, summoning her was far more useful than summoning old evil spirit Hei Kui who had possessed the puppet doll. The effect of her unique innate technique was amazing. Now¡¯s the time! Ye Chuan who had been continuously withstanding the attack of numerous golems suddenly put away cyan small crystal man and Sea Demon, then he rushed towards white jade-like small Demonic Dragon. After that, with a pallid light flashing in his hand, he wielded his extremely thin sharp blade. Like numerous ordinary golems, this mysterious small Demonic Dragon was also stationary. Now, it was not only a good time to break out of the encirclement, it was also an only good chance to kill this Demonic Dragon! Ice-cold blade light streak across the sky of Myriad Beast Forest filled with grey mist. The blade of Ye Chuan, as he had wished reached the skin of small Demonic Dragon, and a drop of white broth-like blood flowed down the blade. But, next, this sharp blade was stuck before reaching its bone. His blade was actually stuck on the neck skin of this Demonic Dragon. Ye Chuan had used the strength of all five Heaven Swallowing Talismans, but the result was this, he still was unable to pierce through the throat of this small Demonic Dragon. With this level of strength, if the target was even human-faced snakes, then those kinds of stone lumps would have been cut off. A sharp blade with the addition of 90,000 jin strength was actually unable to properly cut even its skin, then how strong was its body? Moreover, this was just a newborn small Demonic Dragon, if it was a matured Demonic Dragon, then how terrifying it would be? Ye Chuan was shocked and when he was about to use the remaining eight blades, the tail of this small Demonic Dragon suddenly moved, then flying back, it changed into a white light, rushing out of this Myriad Beast Forest. ¡°Little kid, where are you running?¡± Ye Chuan chased after it with all his speed, displaying his unparalleled style techniques so as to catch it. Unfortunately, he was a step too late even though he spared no effort. When he rushed out of this Myriad Beast Forest, this small Demonic Dragon had already plunged into the thick fog shrouding the Chaotian Palace. Behind, the earth shook and those innumerable golems sunk into the ground. Now that dangerous Myriad Beast Forest reverted back to the original calm state with a thick fog enveloping it. Now, in Ye Chuan¡¯s hand, he only had a broken blade, moreover, a drop of liquid which was the blood of that Demonic Dragon flowed to his fingertip from this broken blade. Was this liquid a drop of the blood of Demonic Dragon? Ye Chuan suddenly got excited as he felt Cyan Lotus Lamp within his body becoming boiling hot all of a sudden. Chapter 206: Bedeviled Chapter 206: Bedeviled ¡°Noble son Ye, noble son Ye¡­¡­, what happened to you?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao approached Ye Chuan. Seeing Ye Chuan had broken out of the encirclement, she was finally relieved, but seeing Ye Chuan was standing still, she couldn¡¯t help becoming perturbed again. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t answer, or even, he basically didn¡¯t hear the voice of Tuoba Xiaoniao. His mind was completely focused on this drop of Demonic Dragon¡¯s blood on his fingertip. After that, without uttering a word, he suddenly sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to comprehend and refine this drop of demonic dragon blood left behind by that small demonic dragon at the edge of this stone forest. This white broth-like demonic dragon blood slowly quivered and flowing along his finger, it reached his palm, then, as if a fireball, it became increasingly hot, emitting an incomparably violent energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation was completely different from the frequently seen energy of this Wilderness World. It was bloodthirsty, violent and had an aura of destroying everything. A very small drop of blood contained power far higher than a human-headed snake. Tuoba Xiaoniao got nervous and quickly understanding the intention of Ye Chuan, she took out her flying sword to help him by becoming his dharma protector. The drop of demonic dragon blood on the palm of Ye Chuan gave her a very dangerous feeling. She felt fear rising from her innermost soul as she felt a kind of inexplicable innate pressure! At the edge of the stone forest, suddenly a cyan light flashed. At the side of Ye Chuan, suddenly a smiling chubby puppet doll with a small cyan oil lamp on his hand, just like a lucky boy, stood in front of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t utter a word and his mind was completely devoted in this small drop of Demonic Dragon blood, but before refining it, he summoned old evil spirit Hei Kui and also used Cyan Lotus Lamp to be prepared for all contingencies. It was not like he didn¡¯t have faith in Tuoba Xiaoniao, rather this Paradise Realm was unfathomable and dangerous. No need to mention about others, that Demonic Dragon might return at any time to kill him, and with the cultivation of Tuoba Xiaoniao, she would be unable to stop it. But, old evil spirit Hei Kui who had possessed puppet doll was different, in a direct fight, even sea demon Hai Lili was not necessarily his opponent and coupled with Cyan Lotus Lamp he had obtained in God Burial Valley, it was enough to stop that demonic dragon. Tuoba Xiaoniao retreated half a step, and she worriedly sized up this puppet doll that had suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chuan. This puppet doll appeared cute, but she felt somewhat strange. Looking at it, she felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart. The palm of Ye Chuan slowly spread, then that boiling hot demonic dragon blood slowly entered his body from the center of his palm. A violent energy fluctuation immediately came from within the body of Ye Chuan. His arm trembled and the fingers of his right hand twisted, which spread to his wrist, elbow¡­¡­, upper arm, triceps, brachial, deltoid and others muscles, all of them also twisted into a fried dough twist. Ye Chuan let out a muffled groan and his entire body trembled with blood seeping out of his pores. The energy fluctuation from within his body become more and more violent, and just like a mountain torrents breaking out, it wanted to rip apart his body. His spinal column made cracking sounds and his back bulged as if a row of sharp outgrowth bones wanted to spring out like that of Demonic Dragon. ¡°Noble son Ye, noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao called out as she became even more nervous. The current appearance of Ye Chuan resembled demonic cultivators¡¯ demonic change of the legend, once this got out of control, either his body would explode ending his life on the spot or he becomes a Demonic Draconian without intellect who would kill anyone he sees! The throat of Ye Chuan made mumbling sounds, seemingly asking Tuoba Xiaoniao to quickly leave. But listening carefully, it again resembled indistinct dragon roar. Moreover, it was completely different from a normal dragon roar, it had an invisible energy fluctuation, affecting the spirit of other people. Tuoba Xiaoniao retreated several steps in a state of alarm. At that time, a cold voice suddenly resounded, ¡°Idiot, still not attacking to kill him?¡± ¡°Who?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao suddenly turned around and discovered Liu Hong also had actually rushed out of Myriad Beast Forest, and at an unknown time, she was already behind her. She had a cold and expressionless face with a sharp flying sword in her hand, and she was looking at Ye Chuan with sinister complexion. Smart Tuoba Xiaoniao quickly sensed killing intent of Liu Hong and said, ¡°Liu¡­¡­, Miss Liu, you were also able to rush out of Myriad Beast Forest? You¡­¡­, what do you want to do?¡± Seeing the sinister face of Liu Hong, Tuoba Xiaoniao felt all the more uneasy. Originally, she only detested Liu Hong, this shameless woman who attracted a swarm of bees and butterflies throughout the year, but now, she felt even more inexplicable fear. She didn¡¯t start to feel this fear now. She vaguely remembered that she felt such fear towards Liu Hong after Liu Hong obtained that large small crystal man and began cultivating something Cyan Feather Technique. From that time, very calculating Liu Hong who originally was full of sweet words and honeyed phrases became somewhat sinister, and her flirtatious gaze of former days had become gloomy, arousing fear in people. ¡°Heh heh, you all have yet to die inside Myriad Beast Forest, how can I die?¡± Li Hong smiled showing her white teeth. Although she narrowly broke out of the encirclement and rushed out of Myriad Beast Forest, the bloody injuries all over her body weren¡¯t light. Her extremely short leather skirt that couldn¡¯t be any shorter was also split open, revealing half of her pert buttocks. She especially looked like she was in sore straits. Seeing the current appearance of Liu Hong, Tuoba Xiaoniao blushed, but Liu Hong nevertheless didn¡¯t seem to care at all, and she coldly said, ¡°This boy surnamed Ye is already bedeviled. Very soon, he will lose his reason and will begin killing anyone he sees. Tuoba Xiaoniao, you say, what do you think I want to do?¡± Liu Hong said while walking forward and her cold killing intent increased vastly as she wanted to take this chance to kill Ye Chuan. Before, she keenly dressed gorgeously to tempt remarkable disciples of three large sects and secretly scrambled for power and profit. Now, after cultivating Cyan Feather Technique, her temperament had huge changes. She was decisive in killing. If she wanted something, then she would directly make a move, no longer deal slowly in patience. Even in Myriad Beast Forest, she wanted to kill Ye Chuan, merely she never had a chance. Now, she finally had a good chance. ¡°Don¡¯t come, stop, if you continue to come, then don¡¯t blame me for being impolite.¡± The complexion of Tuoba Xiaoniao became strained as she berated loudly. But being intimated by Liu Hong, she was retreating subconsciously. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, Tuoba Xiaoniao, you want to be impolite?¡± Liu Hong roared with laughter and continued to advance without any misgivings, ¡°Before, considering you are the golden daughter of Black Cauldron Sect, I respect you a little. Now, Na Shan, Na Shui and Big Lu, all died, leaving only you and Ye Chuan. So if I kill you two, no one will know that I, Liu Hong was the one that killed you two. Hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong continued to advance. After cultivating Cyan Feather Technique, her cultivation had risen suddenly and sharply, so she simply didn¡¯t place Tuoba Xiaoniao who was merely Rank 4 Xiushi in her eyes. When sea demon used her innate technique to petrify golems, she also took that chance to break out of the encirclement, killing all the way. Na Shan, Na Shui and Big Lu died, only she persisted until the last moment. From this, her strength could be seen and her self-confidence had also swelled to an unprecedented degree. Dealing with endearing little bird Tuoba Xiaoniao was truly nothing for her. The heart of Tuoba Xiaoniao jumped like a helpless little lamb. Confronting this cruel and ruthless she-devil, the outcome was obvious. Tuoba Xiaoniao was very nervous. Her hand holding her flying sword was trembling as she retreated step by step. Behind, Ye Chuan was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, completely unaware of the arrival of danger. Chapter 207: This butt, it’s a pity Chapter 207: This butt, it¡¯s a pity Tuoba Xiaoniao continued to retreat, and under terror, she slipped, nearly colliding with Ye Chuan. A sword light suddenly appeared before her eyes. Liu Hong, who was pressing forward, took this advantage and initiated a swift and fierce attack with the sharp flying sword in her hand. Tuoba Xiaoniao also wielded the flying sword in her hand. Ding, two flying swords collided with each other. After that, Tuoba Xiaoniao immediately felt stuffy in her chest as if an invisible heavy hammer smashed her chest. As for Liu Hong, she laughed and rushed forward, then palmed Tuoba Xiaoniao flying. ¡°Hahaha, today, no one can save this brat, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong laughed heartily. Now, she was in front of Ye Chuan with a ferocious complexion although she had a graceful bearing. As expected, Tuoba Xiaoniao who used to be equally matched with Liu Hong in former days now already couldn¡¯t withstand even a single blow from her. Now, no one could stop her from making a killing move! ¡°No, don¡¯t¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao struggled to look up. Now, even if she wished to make a move to save, it was already too late, but seeing the puppet doll at the side of Ye Chuan, she suddenly had a gleam of hope. Just a moment ago, seeing this puppet doll, she had felt uncomfortable and also creepy. But now, she placed high hopes on this puppet doll. She wished the stronger this puppet doll, the better. When handling matters, the actions of Ye Chuan very often appeared random, but in reality, hidden tricks were concealed behind those actions. Suddenly taking out this puppet doll, was this the move without any reason? Impossible! Tuoba Xiaoniao closely watched this strange puppet doll, so was Liu Hong. Using Cyan Feather Technique to rush to the front of Ye Chuan, just when she was about to stab Ye Chuan¡¯s chest, she suddenly noticed this puppet doll standing in front of Ye Chuan, so she carefully size it up. Just like Tuoba Xiaoniao, she felt this puppet doll was strange in a first glance, but she couldn¡¯t specifically tell what was strange. ¡°This small lamp is pretty good, smelly brat, is he using the stratagem of the empty city? Or, is he playing a trick?¡± Liu Hong with sinister complexion suddenly stabbed towards the puppet doll, but when her sword was about to pierce through the space between the eyebrows of the latter, she suddenly retracted her hand and retreated three meters back, then again cautiously size up this still puppet doll. She kicked a small stone which heavily hit this puppet doll. Pada! The strange puppet doll fell down to the ground and was still motionless with a genial smile on its face. The Cyan Lotus Lamp on its hand also fell to the ground. Liu Hong further retreated several steps with alert looks. After a while, seeing this puppet doll still had no movement, her complexion eased as she breathed a sigh of relief in secret. Not far away, Tuoba Xiaoniao who had placed all her hope on this puppet doll however sunk into her great disappointment. ¡°Haha, hahahaha, smelly brat, you can only use this kind of useless cheap trick to scare people, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong laughed heartily, and laying down the misgivings in her heart, she rushed forward and using her flying sword as a dagger, she ruthlessly stabbed the chest of Ye Chuan. ¡°Ah, noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao screamed, also she didn¡¯t know where she got the strength but she gritted her teeth and standing up, she recklessly rushed forward to avenge Ye Chuan. Even if one has an extremely high cultivation base, if his/her heart was impaled by a flying sword, who could survive? Tuoba Xiaoniao was very angry. She had never thought that Liu Hong would be so ruthless. Meanwhile, Liu Hong who had succeeded with one attack laughed heartily. She had schemed all along the road and her heart was perturbed for so long, but to her surprise, this didn¡¯t take much time and energy in the end. But in the next moment, her laughter ceased abruptly. The sharp flying sword in her hand was unable to go deep into the body of Ye Chuan merely after reaching two inches deep. As if her flying sword was stuck in the steel plate, it was unable to go even a tiny bit deeper. Like this, she could leave a deep wound on the body of Ye Chuan, but that was far from being fatal! ¡°How can this be?¡± Liu Hong was greatly surprised. She didn¡¯t believe her flying sword couldn¡¯t penetrate any deeper. She released all of her strength, but the flying sword still didn¡¯t go even a tiny bit deeper. Even when she tried to pull her flying sword out, she was unable to pull it out. In just this fashion, her flying sword was stuck in the body of Ye Chuan. This scene was just like the scene when Ye Chuan had stabbed small demonic dragon with his blade. ¡°Nothing is impossible, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, your buttocks are exposed.¡± Ye Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Liu Hong with a smile, merely this smile was very cold. ¡°This sword stab was truly ruthless enough, unfortunately, Big Senior Apprentice-Sister Liu, your strength seemed to be a little lacking. Ladies are ladies, learning something is bad for them, like learning to fight and kill others, moreover, exposing buttocks and gnashing your teeth, aren¡¯t these inappropriate? I wonder how I offended you.¡± From an unknown time, Ye Chuan¡¯s body was no longer trembling and his twisted muscles had also reverted to their original state. On the surface, there didn¡¯t seem to be any changes, but if a Daoist Master realm expert was here, he/she would have discovered that the bones of Ye Chuan were completely different from before. His bones were sparkling and translucent just like a white jade, moreover, they were compact and solid. In his dantian, one more vortex was continuously spinning, which vaguely appeared as if a demonic dragon. Demonic Dragon Rune! A new Heaven Swallowing Talisman was on the verge of being condensed. After refining that drop of white broth-like demonic dragon blood, the cultivation of Ye Chuan didn¡¯t change, was still at Rank 4 Xiushi, but with the sign of additional Heaven Swallowing Talisman condensing, his body had completely transformed. His entire body including flesh, blood and bones, all were substantially strengthened, changing into a demonic dragon-like body. Merely, it was a pity that he had obtained only a drop of demonic dragon blood, otherwise, the sword of Liu Hong wouldn¡¯t have even penetrated two inches deep, or even might not be able to stab his skin! Feeling the changes in his body, Ye Chuan thought it was a pity. As a matter of fact, not long after Liu Hong appeared, he had already suppressed the effect of refining the demonic dragon blood, but he continued to sit still. On one hand, he wanted to see how vicious this girl Liu Hong was, and on the other hand, he wanted to seize this chance to test the doughtiness of his body. If any other disciple of three major sects was in the place of Ye Chuan, then possessing such doughty body which even a flying sword couldn¡¯t penetrate, they would definitely be wild with joy. But Ye Chuan found this still insufficient. Cloud Mist Mountain Range was too small. His vision had long been on the entire Wilderness World, and even the mysterious and unpredictable world beyond the highest heaven. With this small amount of strength, let alone sweeping over the entire Wilderness World, even looking for the people who had trapped him in the God Burial Valley in his previous lifetime for revenge was very far away. ¡°Brat, you consider yourself powerful, but, I don¡¯t think so!¡± Liu Hong gnashed her teeth but making a prompt decision, she quickly retreated. The moment Ye Chuan opened his eyes, she knew that she wouldn¡¯t succeed. ¡°If you don¡¯t think so, then forget it, but, how can it be so easy to retreat!¡± Ye Chuan coldly smiled but he still sat motionlessly. As for Liu Hong, the space between her eyebrows suddenly twitched, feeling a strong sense of danger. This danger didn¡¯t come from Ye Chuan in the front, rather came from behind her! Not good, it¡¯s that puppet doll! Liu Hong suddenly realized and just when she wanted to turn around, she felt a pain in her butt as a dagger had ruthlessly stabbed it. Not far away, Tuoba Xiaoniao immediately reached out her hand to cover her mouth, and an incredible expression appeared on her face. That puppet doll motionlessly lying on the ground had suddenly taken out a sharp dagger from its bosom and had jumped up. It had jumped neither high nor low, but its dagger happened to stab the pert shining white buttocks of Liu Hong. It was unknown whether this was deliberate or not. Poor Liu Hong, now her pert buttocks that she had always been intensely proud of and which had made countless disciples of three major sects drool suddenly bled like a pig. And she hopped away like a startled rabbit in defeat. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, Ye Chuan, I will never let you off¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong fled and her voice came from far away which was filled with bone-deep hatred. This brat, he wasn¡¯t using stratagem of the empty city, rather truly had a move. He bided for the time until the final moment to let this puppet doll make a move. Moreover, there were so many places to stab, but it only stabbed her buttocks, this clearly was intentional. This brat, he was truly sinister! Liu Hong gnashed her teeth and walked away filled with rage and hatred. Chapter 208: Xiaoniao’s delicate fragrance Chapter 208: Xiaoniao¡¯s delicate fragrance ¡°Noble son Ye, you¡­, how is the condition of your injury?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao walked a few steps towards Ye Chuan and suddenly stopped again. Seeing the wound on the chest of Ye Chuan, she was deeply worried and sick at heart. She wanted to help him bandage the wound, but looking at that strange puppet doll at the side of Ye Chuan, she couldn¡¯t help but be frightened in her heart. Whoever saw it, who would think that this puppet doll can move? Just moving was also fine, but it could quietly pull out a dagger and kill a person. This was even more terrifying than ghosts! Now, the puppet possessed by the old evil spirit Hei Kui had a small lamp in his left hand and a bloody dagger in its right, but it still had a smile on its face. This strange appearance frightened Tuoba Xiaoniao very badly. Especially, that cute appearance with a genial smile caused her hairs standing on end. ¡°This injury is very serious, I¡¯m afraid that¡­, I¡¯m afraid that this time I will really not survive. Liu Hong, that she-devil was too ruthless!¡± Ye Chuan replied assuming a weak appearance. ¡°No, I¡¯ll immediately help you stop bleeding!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao was anxious and she hastily walked over, then tearing her own robe, she helped Ye Chuan bind up his wound. Looking from far, the wound was nothing serious, but when bandaging, she was able to see his wound from a close proximity, and noticed that Liu Hong was indeed too ruthless. If her sword had stabbed half-an-inch deeper, then Ye Chuan would have lost his life on the spot under her sword. After taking off the upper garment of Ye Chuan, crisscrossed scars appeared before the eyes of Tuoba Xiaoniao. All along the way, Ye Chuan had the most merit in killing golems, and the greater part of the golems that encircled and intercepted them had died in his hand, but he had also similarly received wounds, merely they were not visible on the surface. ¡°Why did you help me?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao asked with red eyes. At this moment, she suddenly noticed that the feeling of resentment and misunderstanding between her and Ye Chuan were nothing. Ye Chuan who was bad on the surface was in fact not as bad as she had imagined, and was even better than the overwhelming majority of people. ¡°Do I need a reason to help you?¡± Ye Chuan smiled and wantonly had a good view of Tuoba Xioaniao¡¯s slender neck without any scruple. With two people very near to each other, a fine and continuous virgin fragrance that was better than any other perfume assailed his nostrils. ¡°If you are to die, then where would I look for my wife?¡± ¡°Who is your wife?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao stamped her foot, to her surprise, Ye Chuan was still cracking a joke at this time. His injury was still dripping with blood but he was still using his glib-tongue. ¡°Noble son Ye, this¡­, this puppet doll is¡­¡­¡± ¡°Nothing, this is merely a puppet doll, I have a technique to control common puppets. Xiaoniao, do you like this doll? If you like then you can have it as a gift. At daytime, when you have nothing to do, you can hug or play with it, and at nighttime, you can use it as a pillow.¡± Ye Chuan replied with a smile yet not a smile on his face. As for two-faced old evil spirit Hei Kui, he nearly passed out. Ye Chuan had subdued him after he possessed this puppet doll, this was still fine as after seeing the capability of Ye Chuan, he felt that he would not lose his face even if he met his old opponents in the future. But, if Ye Chuan gave him to Tuoba Xiaoniao as a present, then thereafter, he had to spend his time together with this endearing little bird-like woman, moreover, he would be used as her pillow at night. Wasn¡¯t that asking for his life? ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao shook her head and turning around, she happened to saw puppet doll rolling its eyes towards her which badly scared her. With such strange puppet doll around her all the time, she will not know how she died. Pausing for a bit, Tuoba Xiaoniao asked with the greatest of care, ¡°Oh, by the way, noble son Ye, before rushing out of the stone forest, a black-robed woman seemed to have appeared at your side, who was that woman?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao suddenly recalled the sea demon who had used her innate technique to instantly petrify all stone golems inside the stone forest, and became confused. Now, she discovered that Ye Chuan was more and more mysterious. Ye Chuan smiled and just when he was about to look for a reason to act in a perfunctory manner, he suddenly sensed something and lowered his voice, ¡°Someone is coming.¡± Far away, from the place shrouded with dense grey mist, suddenly messy footsteps came through. Tuoba Xiaoniao got nervous, still, pulling out her sword, she stood in front of Ye Chuan. As for Ye Chuan, he continued to sit cross-legged and waving his hand, he put away puppet doll and Cyan Lotus Lamp. A large group of people staggered out from the thick fog. The person walking in the front was unexpectedly a woman wearing a fiery red war robe. Next was fatty Zhao Dazhi, and after him was men and women wearing the standard war robe of Cloud Mist Sect. Zhu Sijia? Are they the people of Cloud Mist Sect? Tuoba Xiaoniao had her eyes wide open and Ye Chuan was also rather surprised. He hadn¡¯t expected to meet Zhu Sijia, fatty and others here. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother?¡± Currently, the war robe of fatty was damaged beyond recognition and he was also panting hard, seemed to be in a sorry plight, but his eyes were very sharp. He was the first person to notice Ye Chuan sitting cross-legged on the ground, then he eagerly rushed towards him while shouting. The steps of Zhu Sijia paused, then she led numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect over to Ye Chuan. This group had 60-70 people, but the greater part of them was covered with blood and they would stagger with each step, as if they had just come out of the gate of hell. And seeing Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief including Zhu Sijia. But, after they reach nearer, they clearly saw the situation and their heart skipped a beat. Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground without any movement. His chest was wrapped with a thick strip of cloth and his blood was continuously seeping out from his wound. Moreover, his back was full of scars. He appeared to be even more seriously injured compared to any one of them. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you are injured.¡± Zhu Sijia swiftly walked over and seeing the wounds of Ye Chuan, her eyes immediately turned red. And seeing Tuoba Xiaoniao with a sword in her hand standing at his side, she couldn¡¯t help becoming a little suspicious. Wasn¡¯t Ye Chuan always at odds with Black Cauldron Sect? How come he and Tuoba Xiaoniao, this golden daughter of Black Cauldron Sect, were traveling together? What happened between them? Looking at the sloppily dressed Tuoba Xiaoniao as well as the robe she was wearing, Zhu Sijia quickly understood where that the strip of cloth that wrapped around the wound of Ye Chuan came from. Looking at Ye Chuan sitting cross-legged on the ground and again looking at Tuoba Xiaoniao standing at one side, Zhu Sijia had the feeling that something had happened between them. ¡°Noble Son Ye, you all can chat slowly, I am leaving first.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao felt rather awkward to see Zhu Sijia and she also sensed the hostility of numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, so bidding farewell, she turned away. Black Cauldron Sect and Cloud Mist Sect had piled-up grievances of many years, moreover, most recently, Black Cauldron Sect and Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Third Elder Bai Yanhu had colluded together and nearly wiped out the entire Cloud Mist Sect. As a result, the hatred between both sides was not something that would be resolved in a short time. ¡°Stop, Xiaoniao, where are you going at this time? Stay here, you don¡¯t need to go anywhere unless you are tired of living.¡± Ye Chuan shouted loudly. Tuoba Xiaoniao turned around and hesitated, ¡°But¡­¡­¡± ¡°There is nothing to worry about, I am Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, I have the final say.¡± Ye Chuan looked at numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and said, ¡°Everyone, Tuoba Xiaoniao saved I, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡¯s life. Yes, we Cloud Mist Sect and Black Cauldron Sect are completely incompatible, and Tuoba Xiong is overbearing, but we must understand that Miss Tuoba herself hadn¡¯t done anything. We must not requite kindness with enmity, what do you all say, isn¡¯t that so?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°We accept the command of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± Numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect simultaneously bowed to receive the command, then no one again looked at Tuoba Xiaoniao with hostility. ¡°Jiajia, I want to take a rest. I am leaving this place to you.¡± Ye Chuan instructed and slowly closed his eyes. Now, he appeared weak pretending to bear severe injury, but secretly he was circulating five Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body to preserve and nurture his spirit. But at that time, at the distant place where a thick fog shrouded, he sensed several powerful auras, and someone walking towards them. Chapter 209: Want to exterminate someone, exterminate them Chapter 209: Want to exterminate someone, exterminate them Before Ye Chuan could take a rest for a bit, a large group of people walked out of the thick fog. There were nearly 300 people in this group. Walking in the front was a big fellow with a beard all over his face. He was nearly 2 meters tall and was carrying a heavy bronze cauldron on his shoulder. Behind him, a group of agile and brave experts wearing the standard war robe of Black Cauldron Sect and holding a spear or heavy sword or carrying a big cauldron were following. Black Cauldron sect, Tuoba Xiong? Looking from far away, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect suddenly got nervous. Unlike Ye Chuan, after approaching the stone coffin that was the entrance to the Paradise Realm, they didn¡¯t appear at Myriad Beast Forest, rather appeared at a boundless grassland. That place didn¡¯t have golems instead yao beasts ran wild there. At that place, there were many yao beasts and they even attacked in crowds. And under the leadership of Zhu Sijia, they opened up a bloody path and suffered untold hardships to arrive here, but they encountered the troops of Black Cauldron Sect here, misfortunes never come singly. Cloud Mist Sect had just experienced an internal strife and had lost many elites. Great Elder was still far away in the capital, and Second Elder and older generation disciples had stayed behind to take care of the things of Cloud Mist Sect. So only younger generation disciples of Cloud Mist Sect without any Daoist Master realm expert had entered this Paradise Realm. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan had brought Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi, these two Daoist Master realm experts, but just after entering this Paradise Realm, they were separated. It was unknown where they were teleported. And in such moment, they suddenly encountered Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong and his group on a narrow path, now, how should they deal with this situation? Along with Zhu Sijia, all the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect present here were nervous. Each and every one of them was tense and some were even trembling. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan was the backbone of younger generation disciples. If he wasn¡¯t injured then the situation might be slightly better. But now, Ye Chuan was so seriously injured that he couldn¡¯t even stand up, in this situation, what¡¯s to be done? Fatty Zaho Dazhi sweated profusely, and his calves, failing to live up to expectations, trembled. ¡°Eh, let me see, who is that? Isn¡¯t that dignified Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, hahahaha¡­..¡± Tuoba Xiong immediately recognized Ye Chuan from far away and he roared with laughter while leading numerous experts of Black Cauldron Sect towards him. Now, he had a sinister expression with a hint of a gruesome and hideous grin. Some days ago, he nearly conquered Cloud Mist Sect colluding with Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Third Elder Bai Yanhu, merely at the final moment, because of Ye Chuan, he failed to build a mound for want of one final basket of the earth. At that time, under the pressure of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and Kumu warrior Tian Ku, moreover, having a scruple about Heavenly Yao Sect behind those two people, he had no choice but to retreat with the tail between legs. But after returning to Black Cauldron Sect, the more he thought, the more unreconciled he was, and he added this debt on the head of Ye Chuan. Only a bit more without the interference of Ye Chuan, then Cloud Mist Sect and Black Cauldron Sect would have merged into one becoming Cloud Cauldron Sect. After that, annexing Five Style Sect, he could have unified the three major sects of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, accomplishing his long-cherished wise of many years! ¡°Tuoba Xiong, what do you want?¡± Seeing Tuoba Xiong pressuring them with murderous looks while speaking, numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect trembled with fear and retreated in succession. Zhu Sijia however stepped forward bravely. Since the seniors of the sect were absent and Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan was severely injured, at this moment, Zhu Sijia had an unshrinkable duty. Although she was also nervous in her heart, she toughened her scalp and stood out, otherwise, all the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect present here might die here. ¡°Hahaha, little girl, you say, what do you think I want to do?¡± Tuoba Xiong looked ferocious and continued to pressure them. On that day in Cloud Mist Sect, due to the misgiving he had about Heavenly Yao Sect, he was forced to leave but now was different. This Paradise Realm was completely isolated from the outside world, even if he made a move, no-one will come to the rescue, moreover, Ye Chuan appeared to be severely injured and couldn¡¯t seem to be able to flee even if he wanted to flee. Such a good chance to kill him, what¡¯s there to wait? ¡°Tuoba Xiong, you are a dignified Sect Master of Black Cauldron Sect and also a Daoist Master realm expert, if you are capable, then go look for our Great Elder. Personally making a move to deal with us younger generation disciples with the cultivation of only initial stage of Xiushi realm or even Wuzhe realm, aren¡¯t you embarrassed?¡± Zhu Sijia calmly criticized hoping to stop Tuoba Xiong who was bearing down menacingly. Sure enough, the steps of Tuoba Xiong paused as if he was somewhat embarrassed, but immediately afterward, he continued to advance in large strides, and while approaching nearer and nearer, he sinisterly said, ¡°I only want the life of Ye Chuan, that brat. Little girl, if you are sensible, then get out of the way. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame this lordship for ruthlessly killing all of you!¡± The killing intent of Tuoba Xiong surged. He didn¡¯t even try to cover up his killing intent. Zhu Sijia hesitated and fierce contradictions rose in her heart. Tuoba Xiong appeared as if he will not rest until he killed Ye Chuan today. Trying to stop him forcibly will not only not stop him, instead that would definitely enrage this tyrannical bear, then among all the people here, not a single one might be able to leave alive from here. But how could they helplessly watch their Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan dying in the hands of Tuoba Xiong? ¡°Zhao Dazi, heed my command, immediately lead all the fellow disciples away from here, quick!¡± Energetic Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t hesitate for long and quickly made a decision. It was absolutely impossible for her to helplessly watch Ye Chuan dying before her eyes, but she also couldn¡¯t let so many disciples of Cloud Mist Sect die in vain. The only solution was, she stays behind and let fatty and others leave this place. ¡°Senior Apprentice-Sister Jiajia, then what about you?¡± Fatty asked. Zhu Sijia pulled out the sword hanging on her waist and said tensely, ¡°You don¡¯t need to care about that, just leave, fatty, immediately lead junior apprentice-sisters and junior apprentice-brothers and roll far away for me, quick!¡± ¡°Jiajia, I will not leave!¡± The eyes of fatty were bright red and taking out a dagger from his bosom, he stood in front of Zhu Sijia gritting his teeth. Then, squarely facing Tuoba Xiong, he said, ¡°Damned coward, come, if you want to kill senior apprentice-sister Jiajia and Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, then you have to kill me first!¡± Fatty who was as timid as a mouse in former days suddenly stood out despite his calves were still trembling. Although he was still tense and afraid in his heart, he didn¡¯t hesitate and regretted when standing out. ¡°Protect senior apprentice-sister Jiajia, protect Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± ¡°Apprentice brothers and sisters, fight with them!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect simultaneously stepped forward bravely and pointed their sharp sword at overbearing Tuoba Xiong. Among this group of people, some had shallow cultivation of merely Wuzhe realm and some were severely injured, but none of them escaped. All along the way, without the outstanding command of Zhu Sijia, none of them would have been able to unite and look after each other, and the entire group might have already died long ago in that prairie where yao beasts ran wild. After experiencing the internal strife, the younger disciples of Cloud Mist Sect not only didn¡¯t became downhearted, instead became even more resilient and united. This was something Cloud Mist Sect had seldom seen for the past many years and also lacked for the past many years. ¡°Hahaha, good, good, since you all want to die so badly, then I will fulfill your wish. Everyone, surround and kill all of them. Don¡¯t leave anyone alive! Hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiong laughed heartily and his killing intent vastly rose. If this was outside, then he still had to compromise to some extent, but in this solitary Paradise Realm, he could completely do whatever he liked without any misgivings. Want to kill anyone, kill him, want to exterminate someone, exterminate them. In the Paradise Realm shrouded in grey mist, the insane temperament of Tuoba Xiong completely was let loose. Everyone else was also the same. Compared to ordinary times, all were even more ruthless and tyrannical. Chapter 210: The strongest attack Chapter 210: The strongest attack Nearly 300 elites of Black Cauldron Sect quickly spread out and surrounded the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. Every one of them was full of killing intent. After entering Paradise Realm, their group had appeared in a swamp. That place was more dangerous than both Myriad Beast Forest and prairie. All the disciples that followed Tuoba Xiong were elites, among this group, the lowest cultivation level was Rank 2 Xiushi. With a large number of powerful people and also Tuoba Xiong, a Daoist Master realm expert here, their fighting capacity was much higher than the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect present here. Confronting the tough with toughness, these 60-70 disciples of Cloud Mist Sect might not last even half a stick of incense time before complete wipeout. This old fellow is really cruel and ruthless! Ye Chuan coldly snorted and no longer looking idly, he stood up and slowly walking to the front, he said, ¡°What a coincidence, Sect Master Tuoba, we meet again.¡± ¡°Yes, what a coincidence.¡± Tuoba Xiong grinned hideously and said ferociously, ¡°Ye Chuan, are you going to cut off your head yourself or do you want my help? You can choose. Quickly make the decision, afterward, this lordship still needs to continue exploring this Paradise Realm. If you kill yourself, then only you will die, if we have to make a move, then it will be not limited to you.¡± ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, we don¡¯t have any big resentment between us, do you truly want to take this step?¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan was still a little pale and blood was still oozing from his wound. Now he gave the impression of weakness, but he still walked towards Tuoba Xiong while speaking, ¡°How about I make a formal apology to you? Isn¡¯t that fine?¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do, I want your life.¡± Tuoba Xiong flatly refused and a trace of grin appeared on his sinister complexion. Today, he was determined to kill Ye Chuan. Make a formal apology? What sort of joke was this? After he racked his brains, he nearly annexed Cloud Mist Sect, but at the final moment, because of Ye Chuan, he failed to build a mound for want of one final basket of earth, could this be settled with a trivial formal apology? ¡°I¡¯ll give you a large amount of reparations, whatever you want, you just need to speak.¡± Ye Chuan continued to walk forward and now he was already five meters away from Tuoba Xiong. Tuoba Xiong hideously laughed and said, ¡°Boy, my Black Cauldron Sect is flourishing, we have whatever we want, do we need your reparations?¡± After the Great Competition of three major sects, Tuoba Xiong found Ye Chuan as the largest obstacle if he wanted to annex Cloud Mist Sect, so how could he spare him, this thorn in his flesh, for trivial reparations? Ye Chuan was calm and collected and slowly continued to walk forward, ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, you truly hate me so much, but can you not kill me? If you kill me, then aren¡¯t you afraid of Heavenly Yao Sect looking for you to trouble? Don¡¯t forget, although Cloud Mist Sect is declining now, Cloud Mist Sect after all is in alliance with Heaven Yao Sect. The ancient treaty of alliance still exist. Don¡¯t you fear Heavenly Yao Sect sending an expert to completely wipeout your Black Cauldron Sect?¡± Ye Chuan became the fox that borrows the tiger¡¯s fierceness using the name of Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°Since I dare to make a move, I naturally don¡¯t fear. Boy, give up, I have already inquired clearly. Heavenly Yao Sect and Cloud Mist Sect have a treaty of alliance, but that has nothing to do with you brat. After you are killed, Cloud Mist Sect can select another person to be the sect¡¯s Big Disciple. Moreover, that Heavenly Maiden also has already left your Could Mist Sect.¡± Tuoba Xiong coldly smiled and then continued, ¡°Furthermore, don¡¯t think yourself clever, don¡¯t have a vain hope to walk over and make a surprise attack. That will only make you die even more miserably.¡± Old ginger is hotter than young ginger, with a single glance, Tuoba Xiong was able to see through the thoughts of Ye Chuan, but he was still fearless of Ye Chuan¡¯s attack. As a Rank 4 Daoist Master realm, if he couldn¡¯t even deal with Ye Chuan, this trifling Rank 2 Xiushi, then he had lived his life for nothing. ¡°Eh¡­¡­, no, boy, you¡­¡­, did you breakthrough to Rank 4 Xiushi?¡± Tuoba Xiong suddenly felt amiss and he carefully looked Ye Chuan up and down. He clearly remembered that during the recent internal strife of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan was merely Rank 2 Xiushi. And in this short period of time, he unexpectedly had already broken through to Rank 4 Xiushi? ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right, Rank 4 Xiushi. Your Excellency Sect Master, do you dare to play a game with me?¡± Ye Chuan said. Even though Tuoba Xiong had already seen through his plan, he still continued to walk forward, approaching Tuoba Xiong. ¡°Humph, boy, you want to play a game with me? This lordship is not free, after killing you, I still need to continue exploring this Paradise Realm. Now, go to hell!¡± Tuoba Xiong suddenly made a move, ferociously swatting towards Ye Chuan. He said he wasn¡¯t free with mouth and appeared he disdained to bet with Ye Chuan, but in fact, he truly feared Ye Chuan, this brat, a little. After experiencing the slyness and resourcefulness of Ye Chuan three times, he truly feared him a little, so he wanted to immediately swat him to death. Ye Chuan suddenly swayed left and right. It would appear his body was swaying left and right at an astonishing speed; but in fact, that was not swaying rather his body was flickering and the speed was too fast that it gave people an illusion. ¡°Eh, is this style technique?¡± Tuoba Xiong suddenly stopped attacking and found this unbelievable. This style technique used by Ye Chuan was somewhat similar to the wind style of Five Style Sect, but was more superior. In an instant, the true mingled with the false making people unable to predict where he would appear in next moment. A powerful and imposing energy fluctuation suddenly exploded from within the body of Tuoba Xiong, then he suddenly lifted the heavy bronze cauldron he was carrying on his shoulders. With a single palm attack, it was difficult to hit Ye Chuan, but directly sweeping with his heavy cauldron, even if Ye Chuan¡¯s footwork was even more powerful, he will not be able to dodge! Ferocious Tuoba Xiong attacked with all his strength. He didn¡¯t hold back even a bit. In the spilt-second, the air within the radius of 10 meters become heavy and as if shrouded by an invisible domain, the swaying of Ye Chuan slowed down. A Daoist Master realm expert was a Daoist Master realm expert, it was hard to touch even if he was in the front. A singe all-out attack of a Daoist Master realm expert was not something that could be handled by a Xiushi realm expert. Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion was strained and crazily circulating five Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he brewed the strongest attack. Since he failed to make a surprise attack, he was forced to directly confront the tough with toughness. Even if he wasn¡¯t the opponent of Tuoba Xiong, he at least wanted to help Zhu Sijia and others by fighting for a little bit of time so that they could flee for their life. Whoosh! A low and deep ear-deafening sound resounded. The small mountain-like heavy cauldron in the hands of Tuoba Xiong swept towards Ye Chuan. Now, both sides, no matter the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect or the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, everyone retreated in panic, no one dared to approach. Ye Chuan who was swaying left and right suddenly stood still as he brewed the strongest attack. The heavy cauldron approached nearer and nearer. Now, it was only 3 meters, 2 meters, 1 meters¡­¡­, and before a breath of time, it was already close at hand. Meanwhile, the right fist of Ye Chuan suddenly swelled and with a black light circulating around it, his fists appeared as if a heavy hammer forged with a black iron. The people were looking with wide eyes, waiting for the next scene. Now, everyone didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily. Will Ye Chuan who is only Rank 4 Xiushi crushed to death by this single attack of Tuoba Xiong? Or will the counterattack of Ye Chuan be more powerful? Can he inflict serious injury to Tuoba Xiong who had far higher cultivation realm? The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect understood that this was the perfect chance to break out of the encirclement, but at this moment, no one turned around to leave. The battle between Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiong affect the nerve of everyone. Chapter 211: We have already done that Chapter 211: We have already done that Dong! A muffled sound resounded as the fist of Ye Chuan collided with the huge cauldron of Tuoba Xiong. The hand of Ye Chuan made a cracking sound. First, his phalanx deformed and broke, then was wrist bone, elbow and his entire arm. After that, he was sent flying as if a kite with a broken string. Now, his right hand hung limply. Since the gap between their cultivation realm was so big and he was using his bare hand to confront the heavy cauldron, the result was obvious! Ye Chuan lost, a single round decided victory or defeat. After entering Paradise Realm, he had made a huge progress in his cultivation, but he was still not the opponent of Tuoba Xiong in a head-on collision. No need to mention his right hand was useless now, blood was seeping out from the corner of his mouth as his internal organs also had suffered heavy injuries. The disciples of Black Cauldron Sect cheered loudly, but originally overbearing and ferocious Tuoba Xiong¡¯s complexion however was somewhat ugly. After inflicting Ye Chuan heavy injuries in one move, Tuoba Xiong also felt uncomfortable. Instantly, he felt as if a heavy hammer smashed his chest. Now, in this huge cauldron that was known as indestructible in former days, there was a deep hole in it. And around this hole, there furthermore were cracks. This was something left behind by the fist of Ye Chuan. Circulating five Heaven Swallowing Talismans together, 90,000 jin strength suddenly exploded, this made even Tuoba Xiong feel somewhat unwell. If he was caught unprepared, then even he would have been in trouble! ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°A single fist cracked the huge cauldron?¡± The disciples of Black Cauldron Sect who were cheering loudly noticed the anomaly of Sect Master Tuoba Xiong and the huge cauldron in his hand, then all of them closed their mouth simultaneously and didn¡¯t utter a single word as their heart shook. In this confrontation, Ye Chuan lost, but his single fist left behind a huge hole on the huge caldron. If that fist had directly smashed the body, then what would have happened? How high was Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation? How come he had such a terrifying strength? The edge of the stone forest become very quiet, everyone turned pale with fright. Some later stage Xiushi realm experts asked themselves, but all of them concluded that they didn¡¯t have such a terrifying strength like Ye Chuan and also didn¡¯t have such an abnormal body. Substituting anyone else, the smash of this huge cauldron of Tuoba Xiong would have instantly turned him into a meat pulp. Tuoba Xiong carried the huge cauldron on his shoulders and pressed forward step by step. Now, his complexion was ugly and his killing intent was even heavier. The higher the cultivation of Ye Chuan, the faster his cultivation speed, so the more he couldn¡¯t let him live. He lowered his voice, ¡°Boy, stand up, considering it was not easy for you to cultivation to this level, this lordship will reward you by leaving your corpse intact!¡± Unfortunately, he had obtained only a drop of demonic dragon blood, so it was insufficient to reach the toughness level of legendary Demonic Dragon, and his cultivation realm also was still too low! Ye Chuan secretly sighed, then rejecting the hand of Zhu Sijia, he stood on his own. After that, he swung his right hand and making a crackling sounds, his right hand that appeared to be useless just a moment ago unexpectedly reverted back to normal with a vague white light glimmering on his right hand. Tuoba Xiong paused and his complexion changed again. This abnormal recovering ability of Ye Chuan shocked him greatly. He was still young in age, moreover, his cultivation was merely Rank 4 Xiushi realm, but it was already so hard to deal with him. If he could cultivate without any interference and once he breaks through to the later stage of Xiushi realm or even Daoist Master realm, then what would happen? At that time, in the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range, who could suppress him? Tuoba Xiong¡¯s stomach made a gurgling sound as his energy fluctuation steadily rose and his killing intent become even heavier. His gaze was solemn looking towards Ye Chuan, he no longer looked down upon Ye Chuan. Advancing several steps, he suddenly shouted loudly and holding the heavy huge cauldron high, this time, he was determined to kill Ye Chuan. A bone-chilling killing intent hit Ye Chuan on his face and the long hair of Ye Chuan was blown back. The robe he was wearing automatically fluttered even though the wind wasn¡¯t blowing. Moreover, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect that were standing near Ye Chuan were pushed far away by an invisible power. At the edge of the stone forest, a red light suddenly flashed as surging heat waves appeared in the sky. In the hand of Ye Chuan, a furnace with surging flame suddenly appeared, which was indefinitely taking in and sending out scorching hot flames. This made people present feel deep danger. Heaven Burning Furnace! Confronting overbearing Tuoba Xiong, Ye Chuan used his yet another trump card. In Myriad Beast Forest, even when he was facing the besiege of a large number of golems, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t use this Heaven Burning Furnace that he borrowed from Heavenly Yao Sect. But now, despite the danger of alarming peerless yao beats of this Paradise Realm, he used it. ¡°Is this¡­¡­, the legendary Heaven Burning Furnace?¡± The complexion of Tuoba Xiong changed again as his footstep stopped, and staring at Heaven Burning Furnace in the hand of Ye Chuan, a trace of restlessness flashed through his eyes. A peerless treasure that suppressed the fate of Heavenly Yao Sect, the might of this kind of killing artifact was something beyond the imagination of average people. The cultivation of Ye Chuan was not up to much, but as long as he could bring one-tenth power of this Heaven Burning Furnace into play, or even one percent of its power, it was sufficient to defeat his enemy. With it, a person can even turn defeat into victory and burn opponent to ashes! ¡°That¡¯s right, this is Heaven Burning Furnace, your excellency Sect Master, come, let¡¯s see whether you can crush me to death with your move or I will burn you to ashes.¡± Ye Chuan answered. He was calm and composed as if he had made up his mind to perish together with Tuoba Xiong. ¡°Boy, do you think I am truly afraid of this furnace in your hand?¡± Tuoba Xiong gritted his teeth and his complexion become even more ferocious. Moreover, along with the rise of his energy fluctuation, his killing intent soared once again. Both sides, no matter the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect or Cloud Mist Sect, they simultaneously retreated. They retreated far away opening a wide vacant lot. This round was ten times more intense compared to the exchange before. If they were accidentally affected, then they wouldn¡¯t have a place to redress an injustice of their death. Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiong were silent and the atmosphere became heavier and heavier as an invisible killing intent of both sides collided. In the vacant lot between the two of them, invisible whirlwind frequently curled up. At that time, a delicate figure suddenly rushed to the middle of Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiong. ¡°Xiaoniao, is that you? You¡­, how come you are here?¡± Tuoba Xiong exclaimed. ¡°Father, it¡¯s me.¡± Because her skirt was torn and she was not properly dressed, Tuoba Xiaoniao had been hiding among the crowd, not wanting to be seen by her father in her current appearance as she feared he would curse furiously. But, at this critical moment, seeing her father and Ye Chuan were about to perish together, she mustered her courage and rushed out. ¡°Father, stop, don¡¯t attack again. Everything that happened before are misunderstandings. No matter who is right or wrong, let¡¯s write off all the grievances at one stroke, don¡¯t fight again, isn¡¯t that okay?¡± ¡°Get away, it¡¯s not your turn to interfere with your father¡¯s matter. Get out of the way! Write off all the grievances at one stroke, hahaha, how is that possible?¡± Tuoba Xiong was determined to kill Ye Chuan today. He didn¡¯t stop even though his daughter was blocking the way. He pushed forward while speaking and he got closer and closer to Ye Chuan. Tuoba Xiaoniao suddenly made an astonishing move. She retreated and stuck close to Ye Chuan, then with tears flowing down from her bright red eyes, she said: ¡°Father, if you want to kill noble son Ye, then kill your daughter too.¡± ¡°You¡­¡­, Xiaoniao, you are bewitched, or did you drank the magic potion of this brat?¡± Tuoba Xiong was so furious that he began to lose control of his feelings. ¡°I¡­¡­, father, I¡­¡­, in this lifetime, either I will marry only noble son Ye or never marry.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao with a red face braced herself and said. In order to protect wounded Ye Chuan and also avoid Ye Chuan and her father perishing together, she was ready to risk everything. ¡°You¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiong flew into a rage. He was so angry with his daughter Tuoba Xiong that he spouted smoke through the seven orifices. And at this moment, the words of Ye Chuan didn¡¯t increase his anger, rather nearly made him vomit a mouthful of blood. ¡°Yes, in this lifetime, Xiaoniao will marry no one but me. Your Excellency Sect Master, we have already done ¡®that¡¯. No, wrong, hereafter this junior will correct myself and call you Your Excellency father-in-law. Since the matter has already happened, I will take responsibility.¡± Everything in front of the eyes of Tuoba Xiaoniao blackened and she nearly passed out. What the hell was that ¡®that¡¯? In order to prevent Ye Chuan perish together with her father, she only spoke thoughtlessly, but now that Ye Chuan had spoken like that, even if she jumped into the yellow river, she couldn¡¯t wash herself clean. Tuoba Xiong felt stuffy in his chest and was so angry that his lungs nearly exploded. He wanted to attack Ye Chuan together with his disappointing daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao and sent them flying, but his right hand suddenly went weak and he felt powerless. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, inexplicably uncomfortable! Chapter 212: The poisonous woman’s heart Chapter 212: The poisonous woman¡¯s heart At the edge of the stone forest, all people had different expressions. Tuoba Xiaoniao suddenly rushed out to protect Ye Chuan, this was contrary to everyone¡¯s expectation, and her words had shocked them, but the words of Ye Chuan dumbstruck all of them. One said that she will not marry anyone else and the other said he would take responsibility for doing ¡®that¡¯, singing a duet. These two people were from the different sects that were completely incompatible for a long time now. One was the golden daughter of Black Cauldron Sect and the other was Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. Their long-standing enmity wasn¡¯t shallow, but how could they suddenly be together? Tuoba Xiong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. And the complexion of Zhu Sijia who was standing in the midst of the crowd was also ugly. Now, she didn¡¯t even want to look at Ye Chuan. When he went to the underground black market, he flirted with Liu Hong, that fickle and lascivious woman; when he went to Heavenly Yao Sect, he hooked up with Heavenly Maiden; and now, he was with Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s golden daughter, moreover, he claimed that they had already done ¡®that¡¯. ¡°Smelly hoodlum, after returning to Cloud Mist Sect, see how I will mend you!¡± Zhu Sijia gritted her teeth and endured, but she still had a bad taste in her mouth. Now, with overbearing Tuoba Xiong here, it was obviously not the time to teach Ye Chuan a lesson. The complexion of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s disciples was somewhat awkward because either laying down their sword or continue to hold their sword towards Ye Chuan seemed unsuitable. Before, Ye Chuan was the enemy of Black Cauldron Sect and still was, but it was difficult to say about afterwards. Miss Tuoba Xiaoniao had already stated her point. Perhaps, someday, just like she had stated, she will marry into Cloud Mist Sect becoming the wife of Ye Chuan. When the moment comes, Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, will become the son-in-law of Black Cauldron Sect. As a result, blindly holding the sword towards Ye Chuan now, wasn¡¯t that looking for a trouble in the future? This brat, he is really powerful, he quietly made such a big move, and Sect Master Tuoba Xiong can do nothing about it! This move was more effective compared to using Heaven Burning Furnace! The disciples of Black Cauldron Sect looked at each other in blank dismay and they lay down the sword in their hands in succession. As for the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, they also reacted slowly. They secretly sighed in relief, and especially fatty Zhao Dazhi, he was radiant with joy. Now, he admired Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother so much that he couldn¡¯t put it in words. Fatty Zhao Dazhi was beaming with smiles, but outside the crowd, behind a stone shrouded in grey mist, the complexion of a woman dressed in an extremely short leather skirt was gloomy and looked unsightly as if her parents had died. At an unknown time, Liu Hong who had fled in terror had secretly returned back. And seeing Tuoba Xiong with a large number of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s disciples coming out from the thick fog, and aggressively ordering to kill all the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, she was incomparably happy and gratified than anyone else. Even though she was unable to kill Ye Chuan with her own hands, just being able to personally witness him getting killed, she was delighted! Unfortunately, before she could be delighted for a long time, Tuoba Xiong just kept on harping that he was determined to kill Ye Chuan today and made a move, but he wasn¡¯t able to kill Ye Chuan. Liu Hong gnashed her teeth. Now, she not only hated Ye Chuan, she began to hate Tuoba Xiaoniao too. At the critical moment, if it was not for the interference of Tuoba Xiaoniao, then Ye Chuan would have already turned into a meat pulp! ¡°Two disgusting and shameless whores, do you two think you will avoid death like this? Liu Hong cursed furiously and with a sinister complexion, she strode forward. At the edge of the stone forest, seeing the figure of Liu Hong, the heart of Ye Chuan who was looking at Tuoba Xiong with a smile sunk. Not good, how come this she-devil is coming here? Ye Chuan understood that this situation wasn¡¯t good. Tuoba Xiong didn¡¯t know what happen between him and Tuoba Xiaoniao, but Liu Hong, this she-devil, clearly knew everything. If she revealed everything in public, then it would be troublesome. Tuoba Xiong would definitely fly into a rage and begin killing everyone without any misgivings! ¡°Noble son Ye, Liu Hong came, what should we do?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao whispered in the ear of Ye Chuan and her heart was jumping like a deer. A moment ago, she was still embarrassed and had blushed to her ear roots hearing the words of Ye Chuan, so she had quietly opened a distance from Ye Chuan and even wanted to go to one side; The next moment, she saw the figure of Liu Hong and she immediately got nervous and felt uneasy. ¡°Don¡¯t fear, leave everything to me.¡± Ye Chuan suddenly stretch out his hand and tightly held Tuoba Xiaoniao who wanted to go to one side. From behind, he tightly hugged her slender waist. This happened so suddenly that Tuoba Xiaoniao panicked and she struggled with a red face. At that time, the voice of Ye Chuan resounded in her ears, ¡°Don¡¯t move, Xiaoniao, we will be exposed if you move again.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao immediately stopped struggling, then, she slowly placed her head on the shoulder of Ye Chuan. Now she had a very sweet appearance but in fact was too ashamed to face anyone. The lips of Tuoba Xiaog trembled. Seeing the current appearance of his daughter, Tuoba Xiaoniao, he was so angry that he wanted to kill everyone to vent off his anger, but his limbs were cold without any strength and his heart was in a chaos. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, kill him, why are you not attacking?¡± Liu Hong walked over and sinisterly explained: ¡°After entering the Paradise Realm, I happened to run into Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiaoniao in front of this stone forest. In addition, there furthermore were Na Shan, Na Shui, disciples of Five Style Sect, and a loose cultivator called Lu Yingkui. We six cooperate to cross this stone forest. In the end, only us three were able to successfully charge out of this stone forest. Along the path, Ye Chuan saved Tuoba Xiaoniao once, but that was merely mutually helping each other when crossing a river in the same boat. In such a situation, how come I don¡¯t know Tuoba Xiaoniao and Ye Chuan had done ¡®that¡¯? Furthermore, inside the stone forest, dangerous golems were running wild everywhere and we have spent the total of only a little more than one day inside, how come they did the deed so quickly? Even if a dry wood is near a fierce fire, in such time and place, will they do ¡®that¡¯? [T/L: dry wood is near a fierce fire: man and woman filled with burning passion for each other] Sure enough, as Ye Chuan expected, Liu Hong revealed the falsehood of Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiaoniao with malicious intention. Suddenly a subtle change appeared, the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect raise their swords again. As for the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, they again become nervous. Liu Hong explained orderly. If what she had said was the truth, then the massacre was inevitable. Since Tuoba Xiaoniao hasn¡¯t truly fallen in love with Ye Chuan, but was protecting him to pay the debts of gratitude, then that matter even more shouldn¡¯t have happened. There was no reason for Toba Xiong to not attack! Moreover, under anger, his attacks would be even fiercer. The complexion of fatty and others become tense and were nervous in their heart. Zhu Sijia was also nervous, but was happy in her heart. Knowing Ye Chuan truly didn¡¯t toy with flowers and grasses on the outside, her heart was no longer sour. Just now, she had blamed him wrongly. [T/L: toy with flowers and grasses: dally with women] Tuoba Xiong didn¡¯t say anything but his eyes gradually shone and become red as if a wild beast that was about to go berserk. His breathing became heavy and his majestic energy fluctuation as well as dense killing intent erupted once again. ¡°Honghong, I know I was wrong. As the team captain, I didn¡¯t give you that flying sword inside the stone forest, instead gave it to Xiaoniao. But, didn¡¯t you obtain a heaven grade cultivation technique called Cyan Feather Technique? Its value is much higher than that flying sword, why are you still unsatisfied? You like me, that is your freedom, but I also have the freedom to choose the one I love. Honghong, you are very beautiful, but I like only Xiaoniao. Even if you hate me and Xiaoniao, is it necessary to talk nonsense at this time? Will you truly not be at ease until I and Xiaoniao got killed? Since you were away coveting this flying sword, then take it. I know, if you like something, you must obtain it, ai, Xiaoniao, give it to her!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and Tuoba Xiaoniao threw that black flying sword she had obtained inside the stone forest to the front of Liu Hong. ¡°Ye Chuan, you are talking nonsense, inside the stone forest, I was the team captain, when was your turn? Hahaha, with just your strength, are you qualified?¡± Liu Hong cursed furiously and laughed heartily. But when laughing, she suddenly felt the situation was anything but reassuring. She naturally knew that Ye Chuan was talking nonsense. She was the team captain, but what about other people, will they believe her? No matter the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect or the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, clearly no one believed her. Generally, the strongest person with both courage and cunning assume the role of team captain. Ye Chuan¡¯s stratagem has long been known from the time of the Great Competition of three major sects. And as for his strength, it was already demonstrated just a moment ago. A single fist created a deep hole in the huge cauldron of Tuoba Xiong which was known as indestructible, nearly busting it. Does Liu Hong had such astonishing strength? Can she a trifling woman who only dressed up the entire day to attract bees and butterflies also become a team captain? Liu Hong gnashed her teeth and realized that she had unconsciously fallen into the trap of Ye Chuan. Now, she found it hard to defend herself. Words were not as convincing as strength. Chapter 213: Feng Ren Chapter 213: Feng Ren ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, I swear, everything I said is the truth. Ye Chuan, this brat is too detestable, why are you still not killing him?¡± Liu Hong was anxious and also furious as she got agitated. If no one believed her words, then she could only watch Ye Chuan fleeing from here helplessly. And if this continues on like this, she could do nothing to put him to death, and later if she wanted to kill him again, then that would be even more difficult! ¡°Ai, they said women easily grow to hate someone because of unrequited love for that person, and jealousy can make people insane. Liu Hong, why are you doing this?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. On the surface, he had a distressed expression but in his heart, he was sneering, ¡°You see for yourself, will anyone believe in you?¡± Liu Hong looked all around, sure enough, the expression of people didn¡¯t look good, no one believed her. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect naturally hated her to the bones, if they could, they would have rushed up in a crowd and killed her with a sword. As for the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect whose eyes were shining previously as they placed high hopes on her, their complexion was also not good, unintentionally showing hostility. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, everything I said is really the truth. Kill, quickly kill Ye Chuan. I don¡¯t know what is going on with this brat, his body suddenly became very doughty, if you don¡¯t kill him now, then no-one will be able to kill him afterward!¡± Liu Hong really got anxious. She was dying to personally make a move, but recalling the still bloody wound on her butt, she didn¡¯t dare to rush up. ¡°Beat it, attack or not, do I, Tuoba Xiong need you, a little girl, to give me an order? Beat it as far away as possible, otherwise, this lordship will kill you first!¡± Tuoba Xiong said with a gloomy complexion, then he suddenly lifted the heavy huge cauldron and smashed it down. Liu Hong swiftly jumped to one side, and her complexion became unsightly. Tuoba Xiong breathe heavily with a gloomy complexion as he had a contradiction in his heart. No need to mention he was not quite willing to let Ye Chuan off just like this, just thinking how Ye Chuan would call him father-in-law hereafter every time they meet, he truly wanted to vomit blood. But, after resolutely making a move, if what Ye Chuan had said turned out to be the truth, then wouldn¡¯t her daughter, Tuoba Xiaoniao, hate him for the rest of her life? With regarding the character of his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao, Tuoba Xiong understood it better more than anyone else. Usually, she was gentle, delicate and didn¡¯t like to fight, but on the matter she set her mind on, no one could change her mind. She was soft outside but hard inside and also stubborn just like her mother. If he truly killed Ye Chuan, then she might commit suicide on the spot! ¡°Hahaha, Tuoba Xiong, you are talking too big! Bullying our Five Style Sect when our Sect Master isn¡¯t here, bulling small being big, and threatening our Five Style Sect¡¯s golden daughter, do you think there is no one in our Five Style Sect?¡± A cold and gloomy voice came from far away. From the distant place that was shrouded with dense mist, a large group of people wearing the standard war robe of Five Style Sect walked out. In the front of this group, there was an old man as thin as a bamboo pole. The war robe he was wearing appeared spacious, as if only a skeleton was inside it. He was so thin that he appeared as if a wind could blow him away. But his eyes were so sharp that no one dared to look straight at them. When Tuoba Xiong was hesitating, yet another expert arrived. Five Style Sect¡¯s Elder, Feng Ren, leading a large group of Five Style Sect¡¯s disciples walked over. Their number was about the same as Black Cauldron Sect. The complexion of Ye Chuan changed slightly, and he secretly circulated five Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. Tuoba Xiong alone was already hard to deal with, and the addition of Five Style Sect¡¯s unreasonable and hard to deal with Elder Feng Ren, the situation became even more anything but reassuring. Some time ago, in the Great Competition of three major sects, the personal disciple of this old fellow who was that time¡¯s Big Disciple of Five Style Sect, Gushan Leng, died in the life and death arena. This old fellow must have definitely taken this into account! His pair of sinister eyes swept Ye Chuan. The guess of Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t wrong. The complexion of Elder Feng Ren was not good. He viciously stared at Ye Chuan for a good while. His gaze was sinister and malicious, moreover, his killing intent was no less than that of Tuoba Xiong. ¡°Old dog Feng Ren, what do you think, do you dare to fight 300 rounds with me without dodging? And whoever loses, that person has to bark three times!¡± Tuoba Xiong¡¯s complexion was sinister and seemingly aggressive to anyone he saw, he didn¡¯t give any face to Elder Feng Ren. The old face of old man Feng Ren suddenly became bright red, as if he had once already braked after losing. But, an old fellow was an old fellow, he quickly reverted back to normal state and said, ¡°Tuoba Xiong, don¡¯t show off your ability first, this time, I didn¡¯t come to fight with you, merely want to discuss a matter with you.¡± ¡°Want to speak then speak, want to fart then fart!¡± Tuoba Xiong said. The complexion of Feng Ren changed again. He was also irritated, but still enduring, he coldly said, ¡°It¡¯s very simple. Just like you, I want to kill this brat, Ye Chuan. If you are not making a move, then step aside, I will attack! I will avenge my disciple who died in life and death arena without even closing his eyes in death!¡± Along with Zhu Sijia, the complexion of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples became tense. Previously, Tuoba Xiong wanted to kill Ye Chuan, now, Feng Ren, this elder of Five Style Sect, also wanted to kill him. This time, Cloud Mist Sect would truly lose this battle. Misfortunes never come singly! Tuoba Xiong became silent without expressing his position. ¡°What, Tuoba Xiong, can it be that you really want to marry your daughter to this brat surnamed Ye? Heh heh, be careful, just after marrying, your daughter will remain a widow like that!¡± Feng Ren sneered as he increased his pressure. And while walking ahead, he was swaying unstably, but his energy fluctuation steadily rose and the air around rippled as if a cyclone circled around him. Vaguely, blade lights glimmered around him, and that cyclone changed into sharp blades. Wind Blade! Feng Ren walked while secretly used a deadly move of Five Style Sect. As the elder who had most authority within Five Style Sect, not only he made a name for himself by his wind style, his Wind Blade was also a peerless technique of Five Style Sect. With this technique, he didn¡¯t need to approach a person to kill him as he could instantly use thousands of wind blades. Unless the opponent had reached the similar level of Daoist Master realm like himself, only a very few had the ability to escape this deadly move. Once, there was a loose cultivator who had just broken thought to Daoist Master realm, he feared neither Heaven nor Earth, and he happen to have a conflict with Feng Ren. The result, not only was he cut into 360 pieces by Feng Ren in a head-on fight, every piece was exactly the same in size and weight, and just like a butcher, he placed them on a table top. At that time, the loose cultivators as well as the disciples of Five Style Sect who were watching all this immediately vomited on the spot! ¡°Xiaoniao, quickly go, go to your father¡¯s side.¡± Ye Chuan finally loosened his hand holding on the slender waist of Tuoba Xiaoniao, and staring at approaching Feng Ren, he crazily circulated five Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, and an indistinct white light began to circulate around his bones and skin, evolving his Demonic Dragon body. Tuoba Xiong was overbearing, but maliciously approaching Feng Ren made people feel even more danger. But, Tuoba Xiaoniao who was too ashamed to face anyone and was slightly struggling just a moment ago to shake off Ye Chuan¡¯s hand suddenly didn¡¯t struggle, furthermore, she clung to Ye Chuan, then squarely faced sinister and fierce looking Feng Ren. ¡°No, noble son Ye, I will not leave. Father, I said, I will not marry anyone else in my life except noble son Ye, if noble son Ye dies, I will also not live. You can watch me and noble son Ye die with folded arms in the hand of this demon, but later, I will see how you will face my dead mother.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao looked towards her father, Tuoba Xiong, standing at one side with eyes full of tears. She looked weak and delicate, but with a determined attitude, she didn¡¯t leave half-a-step away from Ye Chuan. Blue veins appeared in the hands of Tuoba Xiong, and didn¡¯t utter a word, but his breathing became even heavier as he was stimulated by the final words of Tuoba Xiaoniao. Common people only knew that he was overbearing and unreasonable, but who knew that he was once a passionate noble son who led a befuddled life. But, since the untimely death of Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s mother, he changed, becoming a person who was obsessed with cultivation, and dreamed to become the overlord of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, moreover, he no longer touch another woman. Chapter 214: Auxiliary Palace Chapter 214: Auxiliary Palace Feng Ren suddenly speed up, seeing the hesitation of Tuoba Xiong, he wanted to take advantage of this time to decisively kill Ye Chuan before Tuoba Xiong made up his mind. The whirlwind encircling his body turned into sharp blades. And when the strong wind hit directly on people¡¯s face, they felt stinging pain. Now, Tuoba Xiaoniao was unable to open her eyes, and the space between her eyes jumped as she felt great danger. Even a slight carelessness would result in her death without leaving an intact corpse. The wind blades of Feng Ren would slice into several hundred pieces! The disciples of three sects quickly began screaming. Needlessly to say the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Black Cauldron Sect, even the disciples of Five Style Sect, witnessing the strength of the full power attack of Feng Ren, they involuntarily screamed and kept watching without blinking their eyes. At that time, a gentle force came through her waist. At the time of danger, Ye Chuan took the initiative to push away Tuoba Xiaoniao. He didn¡¯t want her to take risks. ¡°No, noble son Ye, I am not leaving!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao screamed loudly and subconsciously hugged Ye Chuan, in an instant, she herself also didn¡¯t understand why she behaved this way. Without thinking, she instinctively wanted to protect Ye Chuan. She didn¡¯t want Ye Chuan to die here. Was this paying a debt of gratitude as Ye Chuan had saved her in the stone forest, or something else? Tuoba Xiaoniao also was unable to explain clearly and also failed to understand, everything happened too quickly, and everything was her instinctive response. The five Heaven Swallowing Talismans within the body of Ye Chuan circulated insanely and without uttering a word, he suddenly rotated moving to the front of Tuoba Xiaoniao, then he palmed while shouting loudly. No matter what technique you use, and even if you have thousands of sharp blades, I will receive them head on! Ye Chuan didn¡¯t summon Evil Cow Legion from inside the space of Cyan Lotus Lamp to receive the enemy and he also didn¡¯t summon sea demon Hai Lili and old evil spirit Hei Kui possessing the puppet doll to assist in battle, but he directly received the enemy¡¯s attack bare-handed. Also he didn¡¯t know whether it was because the strength of Feng Ren was too strong or he was subjected to the invisible restriction of Paradise Realm, his battle intent was surging, and that drop of demonic dragon blood that was already refined and seeped into his all limbs and bones, as if accumulating again, evolved into the legendary demonic dragon physique, impervious to sword or spear. Ding ding ding ding¡­¡­ Along with a series of loud and clear sound in succession, sand flew about and stones hurtled through the air. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid, even though he wasn¡¯t the match of the opponent, he also wasn¡¯t afraid to confront the tough with toughness. His right hand took up a position, his left hand held Heaven Burning Furnace, and even more powerful killing move still existed behind. But, before he could collide with Feng Ren, a tall and big figure arrive in front of him. He waved a huge and heavy cauldron to block the attack of Elder Feng Ren. Hesitant Tuoba Xiaon suddenly made a move! The wind blades of Feng Ren were very powerful, an ordinary heavy armor could never withstand it. With thousands of wind blades attacking together, even a Daoist Master realm expert would struggle to deal with them, but who was Tuoba Xiong? He was the Sect Master of Black Cauldron Sect and a powerful overlord of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. He naturally knew how to handle Feng Ren, this old opponent. Between the two, they already had unknown numbers of clashes and battle at an earlier time. ¡°Tuoba Xiong, do you truly think that I am afraid of you, a savage bear?¡± The complexion of Feng Ren changed, and his body suddenly swayed left and right. It looked somewhat similar to Ye Chuan¡¯s Matchless Style Technique, but the range of swaying was even greater. Then, leaving behind afterimages, he directly leaped swiftly towards Tuoba Xiong. In the sky, ear-piercing void breaking sounds resounded in succession. Now the things that appeared in front of people weren¡¯t wind blades, rather translucent afterimages. They opened their mouth and issued silent roar, and holding sharp spear, sharp sword, dagger, bows and arrows, they rushed towards Tuoba Xiong just like a mighty torrent. ¡°Wind Nation?¡± Tuoba Xiong exclaimed and his complexion become solemn, then a rune appeared on the huge cauldron he was carrying on the shoulders along with the red light. Wind Nation was the advanced killing move of Wind Blade, and also was the legendary technique of Five Style Sect. Even among the successive Sect Masters of Five Style Sect, not all, only a few had comprehended and mastered it. Feng Ren had always been unreasonable and hard to deal with, and he was the strongest elder of Five Style Sect, but who would have thought that he had unexpectedly grasped this technique without anybody knowing it. This old bastard unexpectedly was hidden! Tuoba Xiong was startled and angry. He shouted and his body swelled, then carrying huge cauldron, he attacked head-on. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, thanks, let¡¯s cooperate and kill him together!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly raised his head and uttered a long, loud cry, then pushing Tuoba Xiaoniao to one side, he rushed forward and silently muttered a law. After that, the flame of Heaven Burning Furnace in his hand suddenly rose sharply, and a more than ten meters long fire snake flew towards Feng Ren. Seeing the opportunity, Ye Chuan made a move without the slightest hesitation, and three people collided together. Wu! The after images all over the sky dispersed and the atmosphere rippled as the three people collided. Tuoba Xiong flushed with agitation and took a deep breath. Ye Chuan suffered few injuries. And ruthless and ferocious Feng Ren let out a muffled groan as he retreated several steps in succession. His right hand suffered heavy damage and was shivering continuously, moreover half of his eyebrows were burned. Even if Feng Ren was more powerful, he couldn¡¯t withstand these two opponents. Merely Tuoba Xiong, this old opponent, alone was hard to deal with, and with the addition of Ye Chuan who had Heaven Burning Furnace, he ate a loss in this head-on collision. ¡°What are you thinking, Tuoba Xiong, do you seriously want to protect this brat?¡± Feng Ren gnashed his teeth, and after ferociously looking at Ye Chuan, his gaze moved to Tuoba Xiong. In this encounter, he thought that he could finally kill Ye Chuan to avenge his disciple, but to his surprise, Tuoba Xiong who was always against Ye Chuan unexpectedly stood out to block his way, what a miscalculation! ¡°This lordship will truly protect him, what do you think you can do?¡± Tuoba Xiong answered, overbearing as always. In any case, Feng Ren was a Daoist Master realm expert who could stand side by side with him, but he didn¡¯t give him even a bit of face. ¡°You¡­¡­¡± Feng Ren was infuriated, he took a step forward and with the reappearance of a whirlwind around him, his killing intent flourished once again. At that time, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the depths of the ground, shaking the entire place. The disciples of three sects simultaneously turned to look and saw the auxiliary palace shrouded in the grey mist rose gradually, and the three big words ¡®Chaotian Palace¡¯ dazzling with golden light become increasingly clearer. Moreover, the grey mist shrouding this place gradually become thin, revealing a fan-shaped magnificent palace door. On both sides of this palace door, there were human face snake bodyguards. Their sharp claws clutched and their eyes were tightly closed. Their lower body coiled on the ground, but their heads were held high. They looked as if they would open their eyes and pounce immediately. ¡°The passage to the palace appeared. Look, it¡¯s the palace!¡± ¡°Chaotian Palace, can it be that this is Chaotian Paradise Realm?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ The disciples of three sects created an uproar, everyone calmed themselves and looked at the palace that was getting clearer and clearer. Feng Ren was also the same. He muttered something, and he understood that he had no time to attend to Ye Chuan. Everyone here had entered Paradise Realm and faced mortal dangers for the sake of obtaining the inheritance of this Paradise Realm. All the conflict, resentment and the battle between people were secondary to the inheritance of this Paradise Realm. ¡°Everyone of Black Cauldron Sect, heed my order, enter the palace to find your fortune, disperse!¡± Tuoba Xiong shouted loudly, then rushed towards Chaotian Palace carrying a heavy cauldron. But, there was a figure faster than him, skilled in wind style, Feng Ren was at the foremost. Behind them, the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect followed in succession. Chapter 215: Ghost King Chessboard Chapter 215: Ghost King Chessboard The palace door of Chaotian Palace slowly opened with the shaking of the ground, but one couldn¡¯t see anything inside clearly because it was rather dark inside. Feng Ren and Tuoba Xiong who were strongest here rushed inside without any hesitation, and their figures disappeared inside this palace door. Behind them, the disciples of Five Style Sect and Black Cauldron Sect followed and disappeared one wave after another. ¡°Noble son Ye, I am leaving, take care of yourself!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao took a quick glance at Ye Chuan and suddenly flew out to catch up with the final team of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s disciples, following her father, Tuoba Xiong. And when she was about to enter the palace door, she turned around and looked at Ye Chuan. At this moment, her expression was complicated. She appeared worried, reluctant to part and also felt a lingering grief. ¡°Xiaoniao, you also take care of yourself.¡± Ye Chuan waved his hand from far away. He wanted to call her wifey again to tease her, but he decided not to after thinking a bit. How can such a big black bear like Tuoba Xiong have such a delicate endearing little bird daughter? Ye Chuan shook his head as he watched the disappearing figure of Tuoba Xiaoniao inside the palace door, and her figure lingered in his brain for the moment. Compared to energetic and unruly as well as beautiful Zhu Sijia, the temperament of Tuoba Xiaoniao was completely opposite. She was passionately devoted. After getting along for few days, he understood that she had a different style and different taste. A pitch-black light streak across the sky towards the palace gate. Even a sharp-eyed people could only see a pair of shining white long legs. ¡°Ye Chuan, I will wait for you inside Chaotian Palace, be sure to not let me down!¡± A sinister voice came from far away. That pair of shining white long legs paused in front of the palace gate for a moment, then rushed inside resolutely. After Tuoba Xiong dismissed her, Liu Hong hadn¡¯t left. Now, stepping on the black flying sword, she rushed into Chaotian Palace all alone. She didn¡¯t go together with the other disciples of Five Style Sect. The disciples of Five Style Sect that had arrived here were all the trusted aids and trusted subordinates of Feng Ren. And this old fellow never got along with her father and had his eyes on the position of Sect master for a long time. He was just like the Third Elder Bai Yanhu of Cloud Mist Sect. Paradise Realm was very dangerous, and there were dangers everywhere, so even if Liu Hong was unwilling to go together with Feng Ren, she still followed far behind them. Relying on the ancient Cyan Feather Technique, following them was very easy. Liu Hong only had misgivings and was vigilant against Elder Feng Ren, but she hated Ye Chuan out of jealousy. This envious hatred came from the failure of her seduction as she would rather kill the things she couldn¡¯t obtain. She also couldn¡¯t let Ye Chuan prostrate himself before other women¡¯s skirt; simultaneously, this envious hatred also originated from the jealousy she had of Ye Chuan. The higher the cultivation of Ye Chuan, the vaster his popularity spread, and the deeper her hatred. Ye Chuan sneered as he watched the figure of Liu Hong disappear inside Chaotian Palace. Liu Hong sought revenge just for an angry look, and she became more and more ruthless. Now, she viewed Ye Chuan as a formidable enemy for all her life; but for Ye Chuan, Liu Hong was merely a common disciple of Five Style Sect. As for his opponent, Feng Ren was more like it, Liu Hong, this she-devil, still didn¡¯t have enough qualification. However, since this woman tried to get rid of him several times and wasn¡¯t sensible, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t mind destroying her! At a distant place, the grey mist seethed as a large group of people appeared here. There were disciples of three major sects wearing the standard war robes, loose cultivators dressed differently and the expert of other sects. All of them rushed over and observing for a moment, all of them rushed into the Chaotian Palace in succession. Fatty Zhao Dazhi walked over as he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead. Just a moment ago, when Tuoba Xiong and Feng Ren arrived, one fiercer than other, he and numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were very scared. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, in front is Chaotian Paradise Realm¡¯s forbidden area. If we don¡¯t enter now, then all the treasures inside will be taken by other people. When should we enter?¡± Looking at the majestic Chaotian Palace gradually emerging from the midst of thick fog, the disciples of Five Style Sect and Black Cauldron Sect hurriedly rushed in. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were also somewhat unable to control themselves including cowardly fatty. ¡°Don¡¯t be hasty, let them enter first. Moreover, this place is not Chaotian Paradise Realm, the front is merely an auxiliary palace.¡± Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t in a hurry to enter, instead, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, then looking at Zhu Sijia dressed in red war robe, he said, ¡°Jiajia, be my dharma protector, I want to explore this paradise realm for a while. Only if those loose cultivators and other sect¡¯s disciples didn¡¯t return back from inside for one hour, we will set out. Without my order, no one is allowed to move on their own.¡± For many people, Chaotian Palace in the front was the core of this paradise realm, containing the legendary inheritance of this paradise realm. But, after encountering that small demonic dragon in the Myriad Beast Forest, moreover, recalling that stone coffin entrance of this paradise realm, Ye Chuan confirmed that this was legendary Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Even if there truly was any treasure inside Chaotian Palace, that would definitely not be the inheritance of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Besides, he feared that it was even more dangerous inside compared to the Myriad Beast Forest, so the faster you go, the faster you might die! Ye Chuan recalled that the small Demonic Dragon that was injured by him had also flown into this Chaotian Palace. He didn¡¯t dare to confirm anything else, but at least, this small Demonic Dragon was extremely hard to deal with. Moreover, with its unreasonably sturdy body, even Tuoba Xiong and Feng Ren will suffer failure. In Myriad Beast Forest, if it was not for him summoning sea demon Hai Lili all of a sudden to instantly petrify everything around him, he certainly wouldn¡¯t have been its match. He would have already been shredded to pieces by numerous golems and human-faced snakes. The human-faced snakes standing on both sides of this palace door also gave Ye Chuan a very bad feeling. A dazzling cyan light flashed around Ye Chuan. And calmly looking at Ye Chuan, people saw a small cyan colored lamp floating above the head of Ye Chuan. Whoosh! The spirit of everyone trembled as the spirit of Ye Chuan came out of his body, bathing in this faint cyan light. After that, pausing for a moment, his spirit directly flew towards the palace door of Chaotian Palace. After breaking through to Rank 4 Xiushi and refining the demonic dragon blood, Ye Chuan¡¯s physical body had greatly strengthened, and his spirit had also gotten even sturdier. After coming out of his body, he was able to sense many subtle changes. The expression of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, the change in the grey mist far away, the obscure energy fluctuation and aura within Chaotian Palace¡­¡­, he was able to sense everything. ¡°Get into position, protect Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± Zhu Sijia quickly commanded and numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect arranged a sword formation, firmly guarding Ye Chuan. Paradise Realm was very dangerous and unfathomable, no one knew how many evil spirits were hiding here. Forming a group to explore was already very dangerous, let alone letting out one¡¯s spirit which was even more dangerous. Even a Daoist Master realm expert might not dare to behave this way. But Ye Chuan let out his spirit, like this, he could naturally explore paradise realm and avoid dangerous places, but a slight carelessness could make his soul fly away and scatter! The human-faced snake statues on both sides of the palace door were cold and chilly without the aura of life, but inside them, he could sense a wisp of obscure energy fluctuation, a seed buried in the depth of the ground which would come to life when the opportunity arises. Behind the palace door, it was dark without a trace of light. Even the air was twisted, and there seemed to have invisible hurricane circling inside, seemingly, ripping the space into thousands of different small worlds. When a human enters, either he was swept into the unknown world or was torn to nothingness. Further ahead, behind the danger zone where even the air was twisted, there was a wide expanse filled with statues, and there were ravines scattered here and there in disorder on the ground. The atmosphere was ghostly there. Moreover, what was that? A huge chessboard, was that the legendary Ghost King Chessboard? Ye Chuan was shocked and a portion of the memory of his previous lifetime when he had beheaded Ghost King appeared in his mind. He wanted to continue scanning deeper within his divine sense, but he suddenly had a headache, and his divine sense returned as if a sea tide. Chapter 216: Nihility World Chapter 216: Nihility World Whoosh! An evil wind blew out from inside the auxiliary palace along with the void breaking sound. This sound was like a wolf wailing and also like the wailing of the resentment ghost, which was horrifying enough to make the scalp of people tingle, and it also shook the spirit, seemingly, the soul wanted to fly out of the body. The spirit of Ye Chuan retreated at full speed towards his body that was sitting cross-legged on the ground. And all of the divine sense he had sent out also returned. ¡°Be careful, Cloud Mist Sword Qi!¡± Zhu Sijia shouted loudly, and numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect simultaneously use the sword in their hand. Their power overlapped with one another, and a fierce sword qi soared as they swung their sword towards the evil wind that was relentlessly pursuing the spirit of Ye Chuan. Zhu Sijia who was guarding Ye Chuan decisively commanded the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect arranged in a sword formation to initiate the attack. Whoosh! A sad and shrill wailing sound resounded once again, the evil wind that blew out from the auxiliary palace rippled and distorted, instantly condensing into a vague 100 meters tall evil spirit with a wide opened mouth holding a military fork in its hand. This somewhat resembled the Wind Nation of Feng Ren, but was even more terrifying. This evil spirit swung the military fork to block the attack of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, but the Cloud Mist Qi actually had the feeling of cutting a substance. All the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect shook and become pale. As for the evil spirit, its body shrank, seemingly, this one attack had consumed a lot of energy, but it still chased after the spirit of Ye Chuan, wanting to swallow his spirit! The Cyan Lotus Lamp floating above the head of Ye Chuan suddenly shone with cyan light, enveloping everything within 100 meters with a cyan light. Under the illumination of this cyan light, the wounded disciples of Cloud Mist Sect felt warmth, and a warm current slowly flowed within their body, which rapidly healed their wounded spirit. And under the illumination of this cyan light, the evil spirit however wailed mournfully and a fine and continuous black smoke rose from its body as it increasingly shrunk, becoming smaller. After chasing Ye Chuan, just when it was one step away from swallowing the spirit of Ye Chuan, it finally dissipated completely, leaving behind only a sad and shrill mournful wail. The spirit and physical body of Ye Chuan merged into one. Now, his face was pale without a trace of blood. After a long time, sitting cross-legged on the ground, under the illumination of the cyan light of Cyan Lotus Lamp, his complexion slowly returned to normal. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, are you okay?¡± Zhu Sijia worriedly asked. ¡°I am fine, there is no problem.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head as he put away the Cyan Lotus Lamp. The wounds of both his spirit and physical body quickly healed, but that scene he had seen within the auxiliary palace with his divine sense still made him have a lingering fear. ¡°What is insider this auxiliary palace?¡± Zhu Sijia asked. And the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect simultaneously looked over as terror and restlessness appeared on their faces. They had seen the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect entering the auxiliary palace one after another until just a moment ago, and they were itching to keep up the pace with them, but after experiencing the strength of that evil wind, many people retreated. ¡°Chessboard, there are chessboard worlds inside, or to say, many chessboard microcosms. Different people will likely enter the different chessboard worlds, just like the stone coffin entrance passage. But before getting involved with chessboard worlds, we have to pass through a dangerous zone with torn atmosphere. One careless misstep and you will reach an unknown world, or might even be torn into pieces on the spot, becoming nothingness.¡± Ye Chuan answered. The numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect arranged in sword formation simultaneously had a change in their complexion. In the distant place, dense grey mist no longer rippled, and even after one hour, no one appeared here again. And according to the prior instruction of Ye Chuan, now they could enter the auxiliary palace, but the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were looking at each other and many had the thoughts of retreating. ¡°Everyone has their own lucky chance, I cannot impose on you all. All those who are willing to explore this auxiliary palace, come with me, as for those who are unwilling, stay back and look for the exit of this paradise realm.¡± Ye Chuan instructed in a low voice, then getting up, he walked towards the auxiliary palace, Chaotian Palace, in large strides. Behind, Zhu Sijia and about 20 disciples of Cloud Mist Sect closely followed. Fatty Zhao Dazi hesitated for a moment and unexpectedly also followed. Ye Chuan was a little surprised, he turned around to look and said, ¡°Fatty, aren¡¯t you afraid of death?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid, but although it is very dangerous inside the auxiliary palace, staying outside is also not safe, so it¡¯s better to follow Big Senior Apprentice-Brother.¡± Fatty honestly answered and everyone nearly fainted. Fatty, this fellow was truly sly enough, seeing Ye Chuan had such a big thigh, he will hugg it without letting it go. ¡°Well, that¡¯s okay! But, fatty, you might not be able to keep up the pace, moreover, I still don¡¯t know who should walk in the front after entering the auxiliary palace, and you are most suitable for it.¡± Ye Chuan smiled. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, don¡¯t joke around.¡± The fatty meat of fat trembled. ¡°I am not joking, go, fatty, you will walk in the front, exploring the way. As for others, they will follow behind holding each other hands.¡± Ye Chuan directly stretched his hand and pushed fatty Zhao Dazhi to the front, then holding his right hand, he lowered his voice, ¡°Fatty, don¡¯t be afraid, if you truly met any danger, then this senior apprentice-brother will save you immediately. On the contrary, if Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I walk in the front and suddenly encountered a danger or a trap, then I¡¯m afraid no one can save me, and all of us will die without exception.¡± Ye Chuan explained in a low voice and he truly wasn¡¯t joking. He needed someone to walk in the front to help him explore the way. Along with Zhu Sijia, everyone quickly held each other¡¯s hand becoming a long line behind Ye Chuan, then they advanced forward with cowardly fatty Zhao Dazhi in the foremost. ¡°How come I am the one with bad luck every time?¡± Fatty wailed mournfully as his entire body trembled and his legs also softened. Now he had no strength to walk and also didn¡¯t dare to walk. Rather than saying he was walking in the front, it was better to say Ye Chuan was pushing him to walk. The grey mist in the sky of the palace was getting thinner and thinner, unveiling a splendid palace, but light still couldn¡¯t enter the rather dark entrance of this palace, and as if a giant mouth that eats people, once anyone enters, no one came out. The entire group of people reached the front of the palace door and stopped for the moment as they carefully sized up all around. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I am entering, be sure to hold me firmly.¡± Fatty didn¡¯t dare to look at human-faced snake statues on both sides of the palace door, and even more didn¡¯t dare to take a step into the palace door. Only after a good while, under the urge of Ye Chuan, he closed his eyes and bracing himself, he entered while sobbing and trembling. After a moment, the entire group of people holding each other¡¯s hand disappeared into the darkness inside the palace door. Everyone had a strange feeling in their mind. Inside and outside of the palace door was like two different isolated worlds. Once they entered the palace door, all the sounds of outside disappeared. At first glance, grey mist spread all over and thick fog was everywhere. The circumstance of the surrounding could only be seen vaguely. Among the grey mist, the air was twisting and rippling with invisible whirlwinds rotating beside them. In addition, there were many bubbles emerging from the underground. They emitted faint colorful radiance, making this place look very beautiful as if they arrived at a fairy tale like underwater world. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were dumbstruck, and the disciple who was at the end of this procession subconsciously reached out and his finger touched a bubble that was slowly rising in front of him. Pop, the bubble popped, and at the same time, that disciple of Cloud Mist Sect trembled as the shattered air bubble engulfed him, then he disappeared instantly. ¡°Be careful, these aren¡¯t bubbles, they are microcosms. Once engulfed, we might not be able to come out throughout our lifetime!¡± The voice of Ye Chuan resounded in the ears of everyone. Just a moment ago, his divine sense had merely sensed a section of the circumstance inside the auxiliary hall. Entering and seeing the power of these bubbles with his own eyes, he couldn¡¯t help having his scalp tingle. His right hand tightly held the shoulder of fatty and left hand tightly held the little hand of Zhu Sijia, fearing they two would disappear from his side. Chapter 217: Imperfect Earth Chapter 217: Imperfect Earth Multicolored different sized bubbles strangely sprang out from underground. They rose to the sky and then strangely disappeared slowly. They appeared disorderly and unsystematic without any pattern. The entire group of people stopped their steps and nervously watched the bubbles all around them, not daring to touch them. First, Ye Chuan carefully looked all around and after a while, he slowly closed his eyes. Then a good while later, a sound resounded in the ears of fatty, ¡°Fatty, take three steps towards left, then take seven steps straight forward.¡± ¡°Yes, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, but hold a little tighter, be sure to not let go.¡± Fatty gritted his teeth and bracing himself, he took the first step, then the second step, third step¡­¡­, and others followed after him. Several bubbles brushed past him in succession, and the head of the fatty nearly bumped against a bubble, fortunately, at the critical moment, Ye Chuan pulled him back. But a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect that was in the middle of this procession wasn¡¯t so lucky. After carelessly bumping against a bubble, he instantly disappeared. The two disciples in the front and back exerted themselves trying to pull him back but were of no avail. ¡°I will count to seven, rush straight towards the front, run as fast as you all can, and stop in the white area in the front.¡± Ye Chuan with closed eyes used his spirit to sense the pattern of bubbles, and his voice once again resounded in the ears of the people, instructing what to do next. After instructing, he began counting down. Over 20 disciples of Cloud Mist Sect holding the hand of each other prepared to run forward. When Ye Chuan counted to ¡®one¡¯, three disciples of Cloud Mist Sect fell behind and weren¡¯t able to set foot on the white area. A string of bubbles suddenly sprang out from underground and instantly engulfed all three of them. The complexion of Fatty, Zhu Sijia and others changed and their hands and legs got cold. Each and every one of them was badly shaken. Only Ye Chuan was calm and composed. He carefully sensed for a while and his cold voice once again resounded in their ears. Inside the palace shrouded in thick fog, there were swords, wrist guards, and so on items left behind by the people that entered before them everywhere. Among the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect as well as the loose cultivators that entered this palace before them, many people had died here. The eyes of Ye Chuan was closed but his spirit was unprecedentedly active, carefully sensing the life and death of every bubble. Under his command, the entire group of people walked forward with fear and trepidation, successfully passing through this zone with the twisted and torn atmosphere. Now, only 21 people remained. Seven disciples of Cloud Mist Sect disappeared without a trace in this zone. But before fatty and others could heave a sigh of relief, a huge bubble appeared directly in front of them, and the entire group of 21 people was completely swallowed by this bubble. And after they felt as if the sky and earth were spinning, the entire group of people arrived at a strange world. The air was filled with grey mist, below them was a long and deep ravine, and around them were standing tall and upright more than 100 meters tall statues. Those statues were either holding a spear or long heavy sword. Every one of them was emitting ice-cold and awe-inspiring killing intent. Altogether there were 42 statues divided into red and black colors. Above their head was a huge light screen which reflected everything below. The entire world was very quiet. One could hear one¡¯s own breathing sound. This place was just like a huge gloomy grave. There was an obscure pressure in the air, and everybody felt the energy fluctuating within their body was subjected to an innate suppression. They couldn¡¯t use even one-tenth of their usual strength here. ¡°What is this place?¡± ¡°Are we already dead? Or to say, is this the world inside the bubble?¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The surviving disciples of Cloud Mist Sect simultaneously exclaimed as they got anxious. Fear rapidly spread among the crowd and got intensified, making more and more people restless. ¡°This is not a bubble world, is a huge chessboard. We¡­¡­, now we stand on the Ghost King Chessboard.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s faint voice resounded in the ears of everybody as he slowly opened his eyes. In the sky, ice-cold dense ghost qi was rippling and the atmosphere was very cold, but it wasn¡¯t a frequently seen cold, rather an indescribable cold. It wasn¡¯t winter yet and wind also wasn¡¯t blowing, but it was cold. Even Rank 5 Xiushi realm elites were unable to withstand this coldness and shivered. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had never experienced this kind of coldness, but Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t unfamiliar with such coldness. In his previous lifetime, he had entered similarly cold ominous domain which was the ghost residence of that time¡¯s Ghost King. Before, when his divine sense had sensed this, Ye Chuan had only suspected, but now, he was sure that this truly was a chessboard, a huge, bloody and extremely dangerous Ghost King Chessboard. Those huge statues around them were red and black chess pieces. If they wanted to leave this place, then they had to break through this final phase of a game of chess. The light screen above their head suddenly shone, then a red statue slightly trembled and moved. Before they had time to carefully examine, this game of chess was already triggered. ¡°Spread out and individually stand on a statue, quick!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly leaped back. With one hand, he pulled Zhu Sijia and with the other hand, he flung fatty. Then flipping in the air, he stably stood on the statue that symbolized commander in chief. As for fatty and Zhu Sijia, one stood on his left and the other stood on his right, assuming the position of his close officials. There were only 21 people, and the numbers of red statues also happened to be 21, so one person could stand on one statue. He didn¡¯t know whether this was a coincidence or was the automatic corresponding of Ghost King Chessboard. Rumbling sound sudden resounded. A black statue holding a huge sword moved straight up. Crossing over a boundary river, it rushed directly towards the big camp of red statues. Kacha, a sword rose and fell, then a red statue in the front was split into pieces. Then, four hesitating disciples of Cloud Mist Sect who didn¡¯t have time to jump on the red statues screamed at the same time. After that, their body strangely exploded all of a sudden. Moreover, three statues without anyone standing on them also broke into pieces. The red side suddenly lost four chess pieces. And one piece was equivalent to one human life! Usually, chess is played to cultivate the mind or pass the time, but playing a chess in Ghost King Chessboard was for life! The remaining disciples of Cloud Mist Sect looked pale including Zhu Sijia who was energetic and bold in former days. She turned her head and looked at Ye Chuan with fearful eyes. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic, listen to my instruction.¡± Ye Chuan pulled a long face and instructed in a low voice, issuing a command. Whoosh, a red statue rushed forward and entered the black camp, then with the flash of ice-cold blade light, a black statue collapsed to the ground, a tooth for a tooth. Along with rumbling sounds, the black and red sides moved exchanging the positions with enough interaction. These statues were too huge and also too brutal. Even a Daoist Master realm expert might not be able to stop their one sword slash, so since they couldn¡¯t overwhelm with strength, they could only take them down by strategy. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t need to make a move in person. As long as they stood on the statue and infused their energy into the statue they were standing, the statue would move according to their thoughts. It would appear they didn¡¯t need to make a move in person and also seemed to have no danger, but everyone was ghastly pale and their hearts were beating rapidly due to nervousness. This kind of ¡®could only look on waiting to kill the other party or get killed by the other party¡¯, if they had a choice, then no one wanted to feel such feeling. The attack of black chess pieces was swift and fierce. Several times, they rushed to the front of Ye Chuan¡¯s commanding statue. But, the offense of Ye Chuan was even more ruthless. Moreover, he took advantage of a flaw of black chess pieces and made a major attack, and after several rounds, the battle was resolved. The commander statue of black chess pieces collapsed and broke into pieces, then on the light screen above them, two large words ¡®Imperfect Earth¡¯ emerged which sprinkled a dazzling white light. This white light fell on everybody, strengthening them at an astonishing speed. Chapter 218: Fragment of Heaven Chapter 218: Fragment of Heaven Including Ye Chuan, 15 surviving disciples of Cloud Mist Sect ardently bathed in the warm white light. Their body strengthened and the energy fluctuation with their body also rose steadily. Whoosh! An invisible whirlwind appeared around Zhu Sijia and white light rippled as she broke through her bottleneck, reaching Rank 2 Xiushi, then Rank 3¡­¡­, all the way to Rank 5 Xiushi and then the energy fluctuation within her body slowly stabilized. The surviving disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, like after suffering comes happiness, made breakthroughs in their cultivation realm in succession. Even fatty Zhao Dazhi also breakthrough two ranks, reaching Rank 3 Xiushi. But Ye Chuan was different, his cultivation was still Rank 4 Xiushi without any movement, but his blood and physique were even more condensed now, and his all the limbs and bones had white light circulating around them. In his dantian, sixth Heaven Swallowing Talisman, a demonic dragon shaped new talisman was vividly portrayed. Ye Chuan stretched out his both arms and absorbed the white light sprinkling from the sky to his heart content as if a whale swallowing seawater. He didn¡¯t care about his cultivation realm, he cared most about the increase of his strength! Making a breakthrough, power enhancement and body strengthen, all of them similarly increase the strength. In many cases, the tyrannical body was far more important than one¡¯s cultivation realm. At the juncture when one¡¯s life is at stake, it often depends on the instinct of the body but not some magical techniques and treasures. The white light at the place where Ye Chuan stood was the thickest and also disappeared the quickest. Practically, half of the white light entered the body of Ye Chuan. After making breakthroughs in succession, fatty and others were talking in high spirits. Ye Chuan however closed his eyes and immersed himself in this hard-earned cultivation world without a word. This fine and continuous dazzling white light somewhat resembled that drop of demonic dragon blood, transforming his body once again. At first glance, it would appear his muscles weren¡¯t well developed, but they were quite well-balanced and his sleek muscles were filled with explosive power. And compared to before, now he had a fairer complexion with indistinct white light circulating around him, resembling that white jade-like spotless demonic dragon he had encountered in the stone forest. The white light sprinkled by the light screen above them didn¡¯t last long. The dazzling radiance gradually dimmed, then, this radiance changed into dazzling red light enveloping everyone. After that, with a flash of red light, everyone disappeared from here. After feeling as if the sky and earth were spinning again, the group of people appeared at yet another chessboard world. On the ground, there was a huge ravine as before, which was the lines of this chessboard; above the head, there was a light screen as before, merely, the chess pieces had changed from ice-cold statues to red and black human-faced snakes. The number of them was neither too much nor too little, there were exactly 15 of each color, which happened to be the exact number of surviving disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. Hiss! The human-faced snakes hissed one after another and their body continuously twisted. The scalps of the entire group of people tingled. As for Zhu Sijia, she screamed and immediately hid behind Ye Chuan. She feared neither Heaven nor Earth and had always been energetic in handling affairs, but she happened to greatly fear snakes. Unlike the human-faced snakes Ye Chuan encountered in the stone forest, the human-faced snakes appearing here were no longer ice-cold stone golem, rather were real existence. Each one had a huge body and a pair of snake horns sprout from their head. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know how long they had been living, but they appeared as if they existed from the time this ancient paradise realm was constructed. Ye Chuan extended his hand and pausing for a bit, he attempted to touch one human-faced snake, and suddenly a marvelous feeling appeared in his heart. At this moment, the human-faced snake talisman within his dantian seemed to have come back alive and radiated vitality. After that, the red human-faced snakes around crawled over to Ye Chuan in succession. Every one of them felt cordial towards him. But the black human-faced snakes across the border river were completely different, they were still cold and aggressive. Their lower body coiled around on the ground, and their tail was quivering rapidly as if they wanted to pounce at any time. The ground slightly trembled and on the light screen above their head, ¡®Fragment of Heaven¡¯ these three ancient words emerged. The first chessboard was Imperfect Earth, and this one is Fragment of Heaven, Fragment Heaven Imperfect Earth, this chessboard is very dangerous. Even more people might meet their death in this round of Ghost King Chessboard. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were anxious and every one of them sweated profusely. ¡°Ride these human-faced snakes. Merging with them, become a snake chess piece. The path of cultivation is the path of defying the heaven. Think of the happiness that comes after suffering and the rise in your cultivation. If you don¡¯t want to die here, then be courageous and lift your head for me!¡± The voice of Ye Chuan suddenly resounded in the ears of the disciples of cloud Mist Sect. The entire groups of people pulled themselves together, even Zhu Sijia who feared snake the most in her life gritted her teeth and rode a human-faced snake. The instinct to survive and the pursuit of power let them overcome the fear in their heart. This time, no one hesitated and were slow as they had already learned a lesson in the first chessboard. The slight tremor of the ground intensifies all of a sudden. Numerous human-faced snakes moved like golems, exchanging their positions. Now they were in disorder. But Ye Chuan secretly coordinated both Zhu Sijia and fatty as the Fragment Heaven chess game officially started. Hiss! An ear piercing hiss resounded and a black human-faced snake swayed as it crawled forward. The black side was the first to make a move. The ground was still vibrating, and the first disciple of Cloud Mist Sect to be affected tightly held onto human-faced snake wanting to dodge. But he had never imagined that, the swaying body of the human-faced snake was stiff now. Once the chess game started, he couldn¡¯t act arbitrarily. Suppressed by an invisible power, he could only look helplessly at the incoming black human-faced snake. A sad and shrill terrified scream resounded in the ears of everyone. That disciple of Cloud Mist Sect was swallowed whole along with the red human-faced snake by that black human-faced snake. Fatty who was just behind that disciple was half dead with fright and his fatty meat trembled. He did his utmost to move the human-faced snake below him, but it didn¡¯t move even a bit. It basically didn¡¯t heed his command, basically was completely different from the first chessboard. The light screen above their head flashed with radiance and a huge chess record appear on it. Red and black chess pieces shone on it. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, save me, save me, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, save¡­ save me¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi was so scared that he continuously wailed mournfully, and at that moment, not only the human-faced snake below him didn¡¯t move, even he was unable to move his body all of a sudden. If no one made a move to save him, then he would be the one to be swallowed next by that black human-faced snake! Ye Chuan looked up and light screen¡¯s chessboard appeared in his mind. He saw that shining red dot moving all of a sudden, and he extended his finger and pressed the distant void. After that, a red human-faced snake slowly crawled across the boundary river then swallowed the human-faced snake that had killed the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect just a moment ago. In the previous chessboard, Ye Chuan was a commander in chief chess piece. He issued the orders and other pieces could move on their own. But on this chessboard, he assumed the role of the chess player. The lives of everyone here was tied to him alone. This responsibility was bigger and even more dangerous. In the first round, both sides lost a chess piece, so both red and black sides were tied. In the second round, he had to think of a way to break the game and violently attack the flaw of black side to end this game as quickly as possible. Ye Chuan once again extended his finger but just when he was about to press distant void, he suddenly stopped. This time, the chess piece that should go to the battle was none other than Zhu Sijia. From her position, riding a human-faced snake across the boundary river could directly threaten the commander in chief of the black side, but she will also face the siege of black side. A slight mistake can get her killed! His thought was in chaos. Ye Chaun who was always calm and composed was nervous and was unable to calm himself down. Chapter 219: Breakthrough Chapter 219: Breakthrough Ye Chuan took a deep breath and he forcibly calmed himself down. He closed his eyes and the entire chessboard emerged in his brain. His quickly calculated the next step of red and black human-faced snakes, then other steps, calculating every possibility of every chess piece. On the chess record reflected on the light screen above their head, suddenly a light shone and many red threads appeared. Wherever Ye Chuan calculated his next move in his mind, red threads move to that place. Slowly, more and more red threads appeared, densely connecting like a spider web. With Ye Chuan¡¯s commander in chief chess piece as the center, a heavy defense formation was formed and the spearhead was pointing straight towards the commander in chief of the black side. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were surprised and seeing thickly dotted red lines on the chess record, they felt as if they were fused together with the human-faced snake below them. They all became the chess piece in the mind of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan and the life of everyone was in the hand of Ye Chuan. Whichever chess piece Ye Chuan looked, the corresponding disciple of Cloud Mist Sect would feel the human-faced snake below them was shaking. The human-faced snake below Zhu Sijia repeatedly shook. After calculating countless possibilities and also calculating up to the seventh steps of every chess pieces, the best choice to make a move in this round was still Zhu Sijia. After a good while, Ye Chuan finally opened his eyes and looking at Zhu Sijia, his gaze become steadfast but still had a little worry and unwillingness. Zhu Sujia was able to see this little worry and unwillingness, and quickly understood what was going on, so she said, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, make a move, this round, I will go, kill all of those black chess pieces!¡± ¡°Jiajia, aren¡¯t you afraid? Not afraid that this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother has miscalculated?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°If I died then wouldn¡¯t you be gratified and have your wish fulfilled? Moreover, wouldn¡¯t you be able to go look for that endearing little bird like Tuoba Xiaoniao? Or, fool around with Liu Hong, that slut?¡± Zhu Sjia asked a question as a reply, but this question had nothing to do with current situation. ¡°How can that be?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and made a wry smile. ¡°If I really died, then I hope you will go look for Tuoba Xiaoniao, don¡¯t look for other women. Make a move, don¡¯t be fussy like an old woman, or else I will look down on you!¡± Zhu Sijia held her head high and looked resolute without the fear of death. Unable to take the initiative to attack, she simply closed her eyes. Merely, sparkling and translucent tears were swirling in her eyes. Previously, she had never considered how this world would change after her death. But now, she had to think of this problem. If she really died, then she hoped someone be able to replace her and take care of Ye Chuan; Although she didn¡¯t want to admit, in her mind, that tender person Tuoba Xiaoniao was the most suitable person. Even when she was facing the pressure of her father Tuoba Xiong and Five Style Sect Elder Feng Ren, Tuoba XIaoniao risked her life to protect Ye Chuan. That scene made Zhu Sijia jealous and she felt sour and uncomfortable in her heart, but she was also moved. ¡°Jiajia, I will not let you die.¡± Ye Chuan replied and taking a deep breath again, he extended his finger and slowly moved towards the chess record¡¯s red dot. The red human-faced snake of Zhu Sijia rapidly moved across the boundary river and swallowed a back human-faced snake and directly plunged into the camp of black side, threatening the black commander in chief. On the chess record reflected on the light screen, a black light moved, and a black human-faced snake was ready to make a move. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect got nervous all of a sudden. Their heart seemed to jump out of their body as he stared without even blinking their eyes. A black human-faced snake rushed forward and didn¡¯t swallow nor killed Zhu Sijia, rather stopped in front of the formation. If it killed Zhu Sijia, no matter where the black human-faced snake moved, a huge flaw would appear in front of Ye Chuan. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect simultaneously sighed in relief. Ye Chuan was also the same, he wiped off the beads of sweat from his forehead and began to command calmly. After that, the red human-faced snakes pushed forward. Unlike the first game, there wasn¡¯t blunt killing, but was even more pressuring. In the beginning, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were on tenterhooks for fear that they would be the next one to be swallowed, but slowly, they began to get bolder. The red threads of chess record got increasingly denser as the red side pressed forward heavily. Now the black side was squeezed in a small area. Playing Ghost King Chessboard was in fact similar to playing normal chess in essence. As long as you overcome the fear in your heart, the remaining was only the skill of playing chess. For ordinary people, they couldn¡¯t overcome the fear in their hearts and find themselves at a loss, or their attainment in chess wasn¡¯t enough, as a result, they would be unable to breakthrough the chess. Fortunately, Ye Chuan was very good at both aspects. It was not difficult for him to overcome the fear in his heart. In his previous lifetime, he had concealed the heaven with his hand and also was very skilled in playing chess. Take one step, consider seven steps ahead, slowly the black side was pushed back to the dead end. After about an hour, the black side finally revealed a fatal flaw, and no matter how they move, they were unable to continue. Ding! A loud and clear sound resounded throughout the entire chessboard world. The black human-faced snakes wailed and their entire body exploded, changing into fine dust. The light screen above their head shone as the huge chessboard began to dissipate, and a fine and continuous white light one again fell from the light screen. Compared to before, this white light was even denser, like a white river descending from the heaven, it flooded downwards. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were overjoyed, and the relaxed their guard as they absorbed this white light. Ding ding, loud and clear sounds continuously resounded as their cultivation realm made breakthroughs in succession. Ye Chuan was already prepared, he spread out his hands and bathed in this white light. Moreover, he looked up and opened his mouth to inhale. More than half of the white light that flooded downwards entered into his mouth. Slowly, the white light accumulated within his body got increasingly denser, becoming a water, and then gradually condensed into a drop of white jade-like spotless liquid. Demonic Dragon Blood! Another drop of Demonic Dragon Blood! Ye Chuan was excited, and as if thirsting, he absorbed the white light falling from the sky rapidly. His body suddenly trembled as a majestic energy fluctuation spread out. ¡°Rank 5 Xiushi, break for me!¡± Ye Chuan held his head high and shouted, then using Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique, he suddenly attacked the bottleneck. His body shook again, he easily surmounted the bottleneck and broke through to Rank 5 Xiushi. Moreover, in his dantian, vividly portrayed sixth Heaven Swallowing Talisman finally condensed completely. Now a demonic dragon-shaped talisman quietly circulated within his dantian. When this Demonic Dragon-shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman formed, all other dragon-shaped talisman, skull talisman, Buddha talisman, flowing water talisman and human-faced snake talisman quivered and then revolve around the demonic dragon talisman. Sixth Heaven Swallowing Talisman, 108,000 jin! Ye Chuan was in high-spirited and was vigorous as he uttered a long, loud roar looking up. One Heaven Swallowing Talisman represented 18,000 jin strength, and the complete six Heaven Swallowing Talismans represent the strength of 108,000 jin. Now, who could withstand his one punch? Ye Chuan circulated Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique and the energy fluctuation within his body still climbed higher as if he would breakthrough to Rank 6 Xiushi. Suddenly along with a kacha kacha sounds, his bones trembled and skin cracked. His physical body couldn¡¯t withstand such violent power. His body was going to explode. But under the illumination of the white light, the skin rapidly healed, then cracked once again, this process repeated again and again. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect retreated to one side and watched Ye Chuan¡¯s transformation in shock. It was not like they didn¡¯t want to bath in the white light, merely they were unable to approach as they were pushed back by an invisible energy that erupted out from Ye Chuan. Chapter 220: People Die Young Chapter 220: People Die Young The white light continued to flood down from the light screen for no less than an hour. Bathing in this dazzling white light, Ye Chuan transformed once again. The white light dissipated and the violent energy fluctuation from within the body of Ye Chuan also subsided gradually. After his cultivation reached Rank 5 Xiushi, he didn¡¯t break through to Rank 6 Xiushi, but he gave people an unfathomable feeling just like standing in front of a Daoist Master realm expert. Now, from an unknown time, his skin had a layer of gloss, which couldn¡¯t be considered very white, but there wasn¡¯t even a single stain that could make even young girls jealous. After the white light dissipated, red light gradually appeared, and the restriction activated once again. ¡°Absorb for me!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly. Using Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique, he absorbed remaining 12 red human faced snakes into cyan lotus space. After sea demon, Hai Lili, this army of yao beasts increased his strength. These human faced snakes weren¡¯t that many in numbers, but each one had ancient life-force. All of them were powerful. They were at least as strong as Rank 1 Daoist Master ream expert. 12 human faced snakes were equivalent to 12 Daoist Master realm experts. Arranging them in a defensive battle formation, even Tuoba Xiong and Feng Ren wouldn¡¯t be able to come half a step closer to Ye Chuan! The second chessboard, Fragment of Heaven was very dangerous, but the gain was also beyond all expectation. When he put 12 human faced snakes in his cyan lotus space, Ye Chuan felt lively aura from his human faced snake talisman within his body as if it had a life. But before he could sense that carefully, a red light flashed before his eyes and the entire group of people disappeared. Next moment, they appeared at another chessboard world. There was a familiar chessboard, and familiar light screen but something was different that simultaneously shocked all of them. In the second chessboard, three disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had died, so now along with Ye Chuan, there were only 12 people. In the third chessboard, these 12 people weren¡¯t together, rather were divided into two teams, each with six players, standing at red and black sides of chessboard respectively. They were separated by a boundary river. In the first chessboard, the chess pieces were statues; in the second chessboard, the chess pieces were living human faced snakes with life; in the third chessboard, there however weren¡¯t statues and any yao beasts, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect directly assumed the position of chess pieces. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had to kill each other! If they want to break through this chessboard, they must kill their fellow disciples. Those brothers and sisters who were talking and laughing cheerfully instantly reduced to deadly enemies! Now, there was no sound inside the chessboard world. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had their mouths closed. All of them didn¡¯t utter a single word. The atmosphere became more and more tense and constrained. They were able to hear each other¡¯s heartbeat. Ye Chuan was also tense and his heart sank deeper. Fatty Zhao Dazhi was still on his side, but Zhu Sijia was arranged to the black side, moreover was standing at the commander in chief position. This time, if he wanted to break through the game, he most eliminate six fellow disciples of the black side. He needed to kill Zhu Sijia too, how could he do that? Zhu Sijia was also similarly feeling uneasy. Looking at Ye Chuan standing far away, she was rather at a loss. The ground quaked slightly and a huge chessboard appeared on the light screen above their head. The chess pieces of both red and black sides on the light screen shimmered and shone. Moreover, there was a big crystal screen outside this chessboard. On that screen, there was a countdown, 50, 49, 48¡­¡­ On the light screen, ¡®People Die Young¡¯ three ancient words were especially conspicuous. First chessboard, Imperfect Earth; second chessboard, Fragment Heaven; third chess board, People Die Young. The restriction was already activated and the chess game officially began, but both red and black sides didn¡¯t make any move. This time, it was still black side¡¯s turn to make the first move. But Zhu Sijia only looked at the light screen above her head, and she was hesitating to move. On the red side, the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect that was standing in the front already looked ghastly pale and his entire body was already covered with sweat. Just like the previous two games, after the restriction was activated, the people were unable to move. Now, life and death of all the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect hung on the hands of Ye Chuan and Zhu Sijia. Ding! A loud and clear sound resounded as the countdown on the crystal screen reached zero. On the black side, the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect who was at the front suddenly screamed and his body exploded changing into little specks of dust. When the time came, they should engage in battle. If the chess piece didn¡¯t make any move, then that chess piece would explode. On both red and black sides, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect sweated profusely. This chessboard, no need to mention the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were the chess pieces, there furthermore was a time limit. Ye Chuan was also shocked and he looked tense as it was his side¡¯s turn to make a move. ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± On the red side, the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect that was standing at the front spoke incoherently. He wanted to rush forward and kill his fellow disciple, because if he didn¡¯t do so, then he would be the one that would die! The countdown again began from fifty on the crystal screen and the number changed at an astonishing speed. Seeing this, all the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were very nervous. They felt as if their heart was held in the hand of other person and their life hung on a thin thread. When the countdown on crystal screen reached 9, Ye Chuan finally made a move. He pressed the void and a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect involuntarily crossed the border river and in a head-on collision, the other disciple of Cloud Mist Sect that represented the black chess piece was shattered. ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to kill you, Liu Zi, I don¡¯t want to kill you, please don¡¯t blame me, I don¡¯t want to kill¡­¡­¡± That disciple of Cloud Mist Sect that had crossed the boundary river burst out in tears. Liu Zi who had died happened to be his good brother. The two of them had joined the sect together and also had worked together in this Paradise Realm. And unexpectedly, he didn¡¯t die at the hands of any yao beasts, rather died in his hands. Although that was involuntary, he personally saw Liu Zi¡¯s body shatter form close proximity, moreover, he clearly saw that despair in his eyes. This disciple of Cloud Mist Sect suddenly collapsed to the ground, but, he didn¡¯t last long, very quickly, he was killed by another disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. Zhu Sijia also began to make a move under compulsion. Although the first chessboard and the second chessboard were dangerous, and there was a possibility of death, but their opponent after all were statues and human faced snakes. Even if they died, they didn¡¯t die directly in the hands of their fellow disciples. Now, the fellow disciples were directly killing each other. Regardless of who wins, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were the one that died. The terror of bloody Ghost King Chessboard was finally displayed without restraint. Incomplete Earth, Fragment Heaven, People Die Young, the meaning of ¡®Die Young¡¯ words, everyone began to experience. One by one, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect fell. Soon there were only four people left in this huge chessboard. On Ye Chuan¡¯s side, only fatty Zhao Dazhi was left. On Zhu Sijia side, only an ordinary disciple of Cloud Mist Sect was left. It was doomed to have no winner in this battle. Only one person can survive in the end. No matter who wins, that person wouldn¡¯t feel happy. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, I don¡¯t want to die, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty cried as his teeth rattled. Death ended all the troubles of the dead disciples, but as for those disciples that had yet to die, they personally witnessed their fellow disciples dying one after another. This was even more painful torture, in addition to the torture of waiting for their turn to die. Fatty wetted his pants and completely fell apart. He spoke incoherently cried out for a while, and he accidentally discovered that there actually was no movement, and he also didn¡¯t die. He looked up and saw Ye Chuan had personally crossed the boundary river. This time, Ye Chuan could have made fatty into battle, and with his resourcefulness and skill, it was absolutely not a problem to eliminate the final black chess piece, but he didn¡¯t, he took the place of fatty and went into battle, killing the final disciple of Cloud Mist Sect at the side of Zhu Sijia. After that, he waited for the similar bad end. ¡°No, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, don¡¯t come, don¡¯t come¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia burst into tears. Seeing Ye Chuan getting closer and closer, more and more tears flowed out of her eyes. At this moment, all the moment she shared with Ye Chuan appeared in her mind. Him angering her to tears, his teasing, him spanking her buttocks¡­¡­, she recalled everything. At one time, Zhu Sijia had believed that she would never fall in love with anybody, from her childhood, she was energetic and unruly in handling matters never thinking of the feeling of other people. She advocated independence and freedom, hoping she would live on her own in this world one day. Now, she was wrong, she knew that she was wrong. No one had ever occupied such an important place in her heart like Ye Chuan including her grandfather. There was no promise and no confession between them, but she deeply understood she had hopelessly fallen in love with Ye Chuan. Darling, how can you let me kill me? Zhu Sijia with tears in her eyes stared blankly. Imperfect Earth, Fragment Heaven, People Die Young. This third chessboard, People Die Young, was Love Die Young! Chapter 221: Poisonous mist Chapter 221: Poisonous mist The number of the crystal screen decreased as the distance between Ye Chuan and Zhu Sijia got shorter and shorter. After crossing the boundary river, it was equivalent to entering the gate of hell for Ye Chuan. According to the rule, if he didn¡¯t want to explode, he must kill the only remaining disciple of Cloud Mist Sect at the side of Zu Sijia, then wait for Zhu Sijia to kill him. In the chessboards before, he was able to test out the attainment of the chess pieces. But in this third chessboard, there were only six chess pieces on each side, so without any strategy, this was a straightforward battle, one life exchanging for one life. The disciple of Cloud Mist Sect standing at the side of Zu Sijia trembled as he hopelessly looked at Ye Chuan who was getting closer and closer. When the two people bumped, Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t harmed but this disciple of Cloud Mist Sect exploded into pieces. He didn¡¯t die in the hands of Ye Chuan, rather died under the rule of this Ghost King Chessboard. This rule was a kind of supreme restriction, was a restriction created by ancient Sage using his great power and great means. Ye Chuan suddenly stopped three meters away from Zhu Sijia. The number on the crystal screen restored to 50, then the countdown began again, starting the next round. Now it was the turn of Zhu Sijia. She either had to kill Ye Chuan or wait for self-explosion, these were her only choice according to the rule. From 50 to 0, the time was very short, but Zhu Sijia stayed still with tears flowing out of her eyes. ¡°Make a move, what are you waiting for?¡± Ye Chuan lowered his voice looking at Zhu Sijia. The number on the crystal screen had already reached 20 and very soon would reach 0. ¡°No, no¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia shook her head. She was unable to make a move. ¡°You just said that if you were to die, then I should go to look for Tuoba Xiaoniao, Jiajia, you are too much. Now, if I die here, then you must not look for other men. If you really have to look for another man, then you have to look for someone that is uglier than me, lower in cultivation realm and loves you not deeper than me. Don¡¯t let me die in vain, if no one misses me in this world, then this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother will not be able to rest in peace.¡± Ye Chuan said with an evil smile. ¡°Wu¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia cried and her beautiful face was tear-stained. When growing up, she rarely cried. She was proud and arrogant, but this time, she cried in front of fatty. ¡°Girl, why are you crying? It is hard to find a two-legged toad, but finding a two-legged man is very easy, in the future, you will meet men who are better than me. If you don¡¯t make a move, then you will explode, at that time, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother will go look for another woman.¡± Ye Chuan was still smiling, but his body suddenly shook and his spirit came out of his body and rushed towards the light screen above them. As a chess piece, Ye Chuan was also subjected to the suppression and binding of Ghost King Chessboard¡¯s rule. He was unable to move his body as he pleased including his spirit, but he spent a large amount of his vitality to use an ancient secret technique to let out his spirit from his physical body. It had taken a long time to make preparations, but he finally succeeded to use that technique. Roar! The spirit of Ye Chuan opened its mouth and issued a noiseless roar. The light screen above their head suddenly swayed and rippled as if a pond water. But in the next moment, the light circulated around it and it quickly reverted back to normal. The spirit of Ye Chuan roared once again, this time, it directly collided with the light screen, smashing his head against the huge chessboard of light screen. The entire chessboard world shook, and along with light circulating around it, it once again reverted back to normal state, but upon closer look, there were several very fine cracks on the light screen. As for the crystal screen, the countdown had already reached 10. Ye Chuan circulated six Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, and his spirit swelled, then he ferociously collided with the light screen once again. Kacha, even more cracks appeared on the light screen, then Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia and fatty simultaneously felt lighter, and they were able to slightly move their finger. And at the same time, a powerful aura came from the light screen and they furthermore could hear vague clamors, as if other experts were also attacking the restriction of this auxiliary hall. Now the countdown on the crystal screen had reached 7, leaving only a few breaths of time remaining. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, do your best!¡± ¡°Quick, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, quick!¡± Fatty and Zhu Sijia were overjoyed as they saw a glimmer of hope. They wanted to move forward to help, but they were still unable to move and it was impossible for them to let out their spirit. The finger of Ye Chuan moved and a cyan light glimmered. First, a puppet doll jumped out, then a black-robed woman appeared. After that, 12 human-faced snakes, Six-Winged Golden Cicada and Evil Eyed Cow Demons appeared. All of them used their technique to bombard the light screen above their head. After he was slightly able to control his body, Ye Chuan quickly summoned the yao beast army inside his Cyan Lotus Lamp, and ordered them to attack the light screen above them. And to his surprise, the most effective attack was not from 12 human-faced snakes, nor was from puppet doll¡¯s old evil spirit Hei Kui, rather was from several hundred Evil Eyed Cow Demons. Thick light beams bombarded the light screen and the light screen made a cracking sound, and like a cracked eggshell, cracks spread all over. Finally, along with the attack of Evil Cow King, this light screen finally dissipated. Ding! The countdown on the crystal screen also reached zero. Zhu Sijia trembled, but even after a while, she discovered that she was still unscathed. The expected explosion didn¡¯t occur! ¡°Jiajia!¡± The spirit and physical body of Ye Chuan fused together, then tightly hugged Zhu Sijia who rushed into his bosom. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother.¡± Zhu Sijia choked with sobs as she tightly hugged him. Fatty also walked over. Now he was full of excitement and happiness. The spectacular chessboard world slowly collapsed and disappear. At this moment, the three of them discovered that they were standing inside the magnificent palace. All around, people were standing in twos and threes. There were disciples of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, moreover, there were elites of other sects and loose cultivators too. With the sharp eyes of Ye Chuan, he saw Tuoba Xiong, Feng Ren and other people. Tuoba Xiaoniao was also standing at the side of her father Tuoba Xiong. Her dress was in disorder and seemed to be in sore straits, but she didn¡¯t seem to have any big injury too. When Ye Chuan took the danger of attacking the restriction of the auxiliary palace, Tuoba Xiong, Feng Ren and others had also met with the same kind of difficult problem, so they similarly launched an attack towards the restriction of the auxiliary palace. Since all of them worked together, the ancient restriction also was unable to endure and collapsed, revealing the true colors of the auxiliary palace. Otherwise, even if they had luckily passed through the third level of Ghost King Chessboard game, perhaps, there furthermore might be fourth, fifth¡­¡­ endless levels which were one more dangerous than other. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Jiajia, look there!¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi suddenly pointed at the end of the palace and screamed. At the end of the palace, an altar slowly rose. Above the altar, there was a grey colored stone coffin enveloped by grey mist. And a wave of obscure energy fluctuation came from inside stone coffin. ¡°It¡¯s the treasure, this is the inheritance of this Paradise Realm!¡± ¡°Hahaha, no one is allowed to snatch it from me, the treasure inside this stone coffin is mine, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The surviving people got excited and someone took the initiative to rush over. A loose cultivator who was Rank 3 Daoist Master realm rushed forward, but when he just touch the grey mist outside stone coffin, he immediately screamed as the blood and flesh of his right hand was completely corroded, leaving only the bones. Immediately afterward, the mist spread and the entire person quickly changed into a skeleton. This mist was poisonous, was hypertoxic! The eyelids of people twitched and their hair stood on end. Chapter 222: Purple Gowned Youth Chapter 222: Purple Gowned Youth This Chaotian Palace was very big, and like a huge underground square, people were standing in twos and threes. Altogether, there were more than one thousand people. Looking at the grey stone coffin on the altar and that white skeleton, the complexion of those more than thousand people changed, and they simultaneously stopped rushing towards the altar. Among them, there were Tuoba Xiong and Feng Ren, these two experts of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. What kind of treasure was sealed within this stone coffin to actually have so powerful restriction? The mind of everyone shook and they looked at that mist outside the stone coffin with terror in their eyes. But at the same time, they were also unwilling to retreat and their gaze was somewhat filled with scorching heat. The danger and opportunity always come together, the more dangerous the place, often the more powerful treasure was sealed in that place! Tuoba Xiong slowly stepped forward and the huge cauldron on his shoulder glimmered with red light. Then storing up his power in the huge cauldron, he appeared as if he was preparing to directly smash the stone coffin with his huge cauldron to take out the treasure inside it. As for Feng Ren who was as thin as a bamboo pole, he didn¡¯t walk forward, but he began to slowly sway left and right, then a whirlwind appeared around his body, similarly accumulating his power. The surviving disciples of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect also stood behind them in succession. After three rounds of Ghost King Chessboard, among around 20 disciples of Cloud Mist Sect including Ye Chuan, only Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia and fatty Zhao Dazhi had survived, all others were dead or missing. Fortunately, the majority of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had chosen to stay at the edge of the stone forest, otherwise, their casualties would be bigger. Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect however were different, practically their whole nest had come out, and since they were very large in number, their casualties were also astonishing. Now, there were less than 30 disciples behind Tuoba Xiong, and less than 20 disciples behind Feng Ren. In Ghost King Chessboard, compared to the number of causalities of Cloud Mist Sect, they were nearly wiped out. But, all the survivors were the elites of elites of those two sects. At first glance, Ye Chuan not only found Tuoba Xiaoniao, he also saw a familiar figure. Liu Hong who was wearing a short leather skirt was unexpectedly still alive. Instead of standing together with the disciples of Five Style Sect, she stood at the side of a purple gowned youth. This purple gowned youth was tall and had a fair and clear face. Now, he stood among the crowd as if a jade tree against the wind current. His both hands were also fair and clear, and his purple gown that appeared luxurious was a perfect fit for him. At a first sight, anyone could guess that he originated from rich and influential family. His energy fluctuation was also not trivial, and his majestic power could make other people feel pressure. He was at least Rank 5 Daoist Master realm expert. Young and promising with a good background, moreover, was handsome, elegant and unrestrained, this purple gowned youth naturally was conspicuous like a crane standing among chickens. Furthermore, around him, there were 12 bodyguards, and all of them were pretty women who were like flowers. They looked beautiful and charming, moreover, their cultivation was also outstanding. All of them were unexpectedly Rank 1 Daoist Master realm experts. The youth alone was already outstanding enough, but he furthermore had 12 Rank 1 Daoist Master realm, beautiful bodyguards. He instantly attracted the attention of many people. Since no was able to guess his identity and background, no-one dared to easily approach him. Liu Hong however was different, no-one knew what method she used to hook up with this purple gowned youth, but now, she hugged a new thigh. Standing together with that purple gowned youth, she talked and laughed cheerfully. Even people some distance away could hear her sweet voice, and her affectionate and cute looks could make the bones of the people go soft. ¡°Humph, disgusting, shameless woman, such a short skirt, it¡¯s better to simply not wear anything. Moreover, just saw a man with ability, and she is already doing everything to seduce him.¡± Zhu Sijia took a quick look at Liu Hong and said in disdain. ¡°You cannot say that, this is merely making full use of her resources, otherwise, what¡¯s the use of those shining white and slender legs? Junior apprentice-sister, you should also learn from her, why on earth are you wearing such a long robe, even if you reveal a leg, no-one would dare to peep, what¡¯s there to fear?¡± Ye Chuan said with a bad smile, and retreating several steps, he quietly stood in a corner of this hall. ¡°Ye Chuan, you¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia angrily looked at Ye Chuan, but to her surprise, at this moment, Ye Chuan was still not serious. Now, she was both angry and blushing, but she secretly pulled the robe she was wearing. In Cloud Mist Sect, other people will not dare to peep her slender legs, but no-one dared to guarantee that Ye Chuan, this bad Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, wouldn¡¯t dare to peep. Even when face to face, he will not restrain himself and confidentially look without a sense of shame, as for behind her back, only Gods knows what he would. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, although the grey mist outside the stone coffin is terrifying, the inheritance of this paradise realm however is sealed within it. Are we giving up without making a move just like this?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi followed Ye Chuan and standing at his side, he was somewhat unwilling and feeling a pity to part with this treasure. He had yet to forget the suffering of the past and still hadn¡¯t forgotten how narrowly they had escaped with life just a moment ago, but seeing the stone coffin on the altar, his gaze was burning as he drooled. ¡°What¡¯s urgent? The opportune time has yet to arrive, rest assured, someone will break the poisonous mist outside the stone coffin for us. Also, fatty, who told you that the inheritance of this paradise realm is sealed inside that stone coffin?¡± Ye Chuan faintly smiled. The poisonous mist outside the stone coffin was very dangerous, but there were many people who didn¡¯t fear death, slowly, more and more people moved forward. Liu Hong also followed that purple gowned youth as he walked forward. The restriction of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm was definitely more dangerous than he had expected, so Ye Chuan calmly decided to wait and see the changes first. But after looking for a while, he still couldn¡¯t find the figure of that small demonic dragon, seemingly, after entering the auxiliary palace, that small demonic dragon had died within the restriction of this palace, or had gone to other places. It¡¯s a pity! If he could refine that entire small demonic dragon, then he would have boundless power and his body would have also become even more tyrannical. Ye Chuan secretly thought this was a pity, now, he was already one hundred percent certain that this was the legendary Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, but this Chaotian Palace was merely an auxiliary hall inside this Paradise Realm. The real inheritance of this paradise realm must be in the depth of layer upon layer palaces. Naturally, he understood what was going on here, but he explained nothing looking at fatty Zhao Dazhi who was drooling. After that, smiling drily, he took out a small crystal man from inside his Cyan Lotus Space and threw it towards fatty and said, ¡°Here, fatty, I am giving you this, take it.¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what is this?¡± Fatty was somewhat confused, but after touching this small crystal man, he immediately understood that this was a good thing. ¡°I don¡¯t know, if you look carefully, you should find an earth grade technique. Fatty, I can only give you this, you should use your spirit to sense and comprehend it, understand?¡± Ye Chuan casually took a quick glance at this small crystal man and shook his head. An earth grade skill? So casually giving away? Fatty Zhao Dazhi and Zhu Sijia were dumbfounded. At first, they thought it was a fake, and Ye Chuan was trying to cheat them. And in terms of cheating, Ye Chuan absolutely was a great master, in all eternity, no-one could surpass him. However, after sensing it for a little while with his spirit, fatty excitedly said: ¡°Thank you, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother.¡± ¡°Fatty, let me look, don¡¯t let Big Senior Apprentice-Brother cheat you!¡± Zhu Sijia reached out her hand to snatch the small crystal man and examine it. At that moment, fatty who was always slow to do any matter moved away his hands faster than anyone else, then he quickly put away this small crystal man and said, ¡°No need, senior apprentice-sister Jiajia, no need to examine, it¡¯s fake.¡± ¡°Ye Chuan, what about my share?¡± Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t pester fatty instead look towards Ye Chuan. ¡°Jiajia, I am entirely yours, I am already your person. You already have me, but are you still not satisfied? What kind of treasure do you want?¡± Ye Chuan showed a bad smile. ¡°You¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia remained silent and was nearly driven mad, but recalling that final scene of Ghost King Chessboard, her nose become sour and tears flowed down her cheeks. Was the revelation of her true feelings exchanged for such teasing? Could it be that, as the falling flowers are yearning for love, but the heartless brook ripples on, Big Senior Apprentice-brother didn¡¯t have even a little feeling for her? Would she suffer from unrequited love? Zhu Sijia who was energetic and unruly in former days suddenly become sentimental and susceptible. Furthermore, even she didn¡¯t know what happened to her, but her tears flowed down her cheeks. ¡°Well, I was just teasing you for fun, this is yours.¡± Ye Chuan reached out his hand and wiped her tears, then opening his right hand, there was a small crystal man on his palm. Compared to the small crystal man of fatty, it appeared even more exquisite and also even more primitive. After freeing themselves from Ghost King Chessboard and relaxing a bit, Ye Chuan gave Zhu Sijia and fatty Zhao Dazhi small crystal men as a gift without any hesitation. These treasures obtained in Myriad Beast Forest, Liu Hong had used many schemes to obtain them at that time, moreover, she had reigned the team, but Ye Chuan truly didn¡¯t care. Let alone earth grade techniques, even an ordinary heaven grade techniques wouldn¡¯t enter his eyes. There was the only thing he wanted among them, that was the cyan small crystal man that could link up with the world beyond the highest heaven. Chapter 223: Noble son Zhuifeng Chapter 223: Noble son Zhuifeng At the end of the hall, the ancient altar rose higher and higher. There were runes on the cliff made up of boulders, and those runes shone into the eyes of people. In the sky, there was an indescribable energy fluctuation, which spread the speaking voice of people far away. This kind of feeling was as if they were standing inside an invisible water. The stone coffin of the altar was still shrouded in great mist, but under the grey mist, gradually, a white colored luster could be seen as if the treasure inside was about to break out. The people in the hall surrounded this altar in succession and their gaze was scorching hot. All knew the restriction of this stone coffin was no small matter, but no-one was willing to give up. The inheritance of paradise realm! They had finally reached here after the bloodbath, copse mountain and slaughter, moreover, everybody here had barely escaped with their lives, but they finally encounter the real treasure, so who was willing to give up at this point? The breathing of Tuoba Xiong was heavy, and Elder Feng Ren of Five Style Sect was also ready to take action. He continuously swayed left and right as if he didn¡¯t recognize tiredness and his energy fluctuation was steadily rising. All the experts present in this hall were ready to make a move, all of them held their respective killing weapon, but even after a while, no one rushed forward. Everyone wanted the treasure inside the stone coffin, but no one here was a fool. Everyone was waiting for someone to rush forward to resolve that terrifying poison mist. Inside the hall, suddenly everyone refused to budge. Everyone looked at each other full of vigilance and alertness, and everyone gradually felt pressure. Just like Ghost King Chessboard, there was a layer upon layer of great dangers in the hall, merely, the great dangers didn¡¯t come from the defense and restriction of the palace, rather from themselves. Or, this in itself was also a section of restriction. The owner of Paradise Realm had already expected the arrival of such day and he wanted the people that intrude this paradise realm in later generations to kill each other. Everyone slowly moved towards the altar surrounding it, and at this moment, the trio of Ye Chuan who was standing at one corner became especially conspicuous. The eyes of Liu Hong flashed with sinister light, then taking a quick glance at Ye Chuan standing at one corner, she smirked and said: ¡°Eh, if this isn¡¯t noble son Ye? I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡± ¡°Yes, I also truly didn¡¯t expect to meet you here. Honghong, congratulation for obtaining a new thigh to hug.¡± Ye Chuan was calm and composed. He basically didn¡¯t want to be meddlesome, but he also didn¡¯t fear Liu Hong making things difficult for him. He just sighed and continued: ¡°People say, the waves behind push the wave ahead, and the wave ahead dies at the sand beach. Little did they imagine, it was also the same in the bustling sea of people. Hind leg trample foreleg, have a new thigh and you forgot the old thigh you hugged for many years, ai¡­¡­¡± The complexion of all the experts clustering around the altar became somewhat strange and some people couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Liu Hong had been continuously pestering purple gowned person over and over again. She often laughed sweetly and lean against this purple gowned youth. That appearance, didn¡¯t that strikingly resemble hugging a thigh? ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong who had never cared about the criticisms of other people lost her temper and she hatefully gritted her teeth. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t say any curse word, but compared to cursing, his words were even more difficult to bear. What new thigh and old thigh, it sounded as if she and he had a relation for many years and now she was having an illicit love affair! Liu Hong was furious, and on the spot, she was about to wield her flying sword with killing intention but she saw purple gowned youth was looking towards her, so she assumed a delicate and charming appearance, then squeezing out tear from her eyes, she said to Ye Chuan, ¡°Noble son Ye, you are bullying too much. Taking advantage of the time when my father is trapped within this paradise realm with his situation unknown, can you, a dignified Big Disciple of a grand Cloud Mist Sect, so casually bully other people?¡± This she-devil, pretend more! Ye Chuan sneered. He saw through the thoughts of Liu Hong in a single glance. She was trying to kill him by proxy. Sure enough, the purple gowned youth standing at her side coldly said, ¡°Boy, slap yourself 300 times and apologize to Miss Liu, then this noble son will let you go, otherwise¡­¡­¡± After confirming Ye Chuan was merely a Rank 5 Xiushi realm cultivator, the eyes of this purple gowned youth flashed with disdain. He felt that it was beneath his dignity to attack Ye Chuan, and he didn¡¯t even feel that Ye Chuan was worthy enough for him to speak. ¡°Otherwise, what?¡± Ye Chuan asked with a smile yet not a smile. ¡°Very simple, if you want to die, then this noble son will fulfill your wish.¡± The complexion of this purple gowned youth become cold and he emitted killing intent. ¡°Noble son Zhuifeng, this brat surnamed Ye however is the dignified Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, how can you publicly slap his face? How about we don¡¯t lower ourselves to the same level as him and forget everything.¡± Liu Hong with her eyes full of tears as if she suffered the greatest grievance made a pitiful appearance. Although her words sounded beautiful, she in fact was adding oil and vinegar, ¡°This boy is smelly and hard, throwing him to the stone coffin is most appropriate, and after seeing his body is corroded by poison mist into a skeleton, let¡¯s see whether this brat will realize his error and show repentance or not. But, beating him is one-sided battle, and killing him will provoke extremely big trouble, I do not know how many old fellows of Cloud Mist Sect will be attracted. So, let¡¯s forget about it, noble son Zhuifeng, don¡¯t argue with this kind of person.¡± The mouth of Liu Hong said forget about the matter, but the meaning of her words was very insidious. The complexion of many experts clustering around the altar changed hearing the words of this she-devil Liu Hong which had double meanings. Purple Gowned youth, noble son Zhuifeng only wanted Ye Chuan to slap himself 300 times, but the words of Liu Hong meant that this was still not enough. She wanted Ye Chuan thrown to stone coffin so that he would be corroded to a skeleton. She was so sinister and ruthless, how much did she hate Ye Chuan? Could it be that Ye Chuan had truly killed her loved ones or raped Liu Hong for her to deliberately carry out a vendetta so as to kill Ye Chuan by proxy? All the experts in the hall that were originally staring at the stone coffin simultaneously looked over. They were surprised and also were confused. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, did you do something inexcusable to this slut Liu Hong?¡± Zhu Sijia asked. Even she was somewhat confused. Before, Liu Hong had used different ways to seduce Ye Chuan, she used sweet words and honeyed phrases and flirted with him not long ago. But after entering paradise realm, how did this happen? Could it be that, in that stone forest, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan not only soiled golden daughter of Black Cauldron Sect Tuoba Xiaoniao, did he do ¡®that¡¯ to Liu Hong too? ¡°Jiajia, in this kind of trash, what can I, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, see? Do you think I am such person?¡± Ye Chuan asked a question in reply and Zhu Sijia became silent. It was hard to say for the first half, only ghosts know what he sees in Liu Hong, this trash. Perhaps, he liked this kind of woman of easy virtue, there were so many cheap people like that. As for the latter half, it was even harder to say. In Ghost King Chessboard, Zhu Sijia had revealed her true feelings that she had unwittingly fallen in love with Ye Chuan, this bad Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, but for some unknown reasons, she always felt that she didn¡¯t know Ye Chuan. She didn¡¯t know his actual strength and very often, she wouldn¡¯t know what he was thinking. ¡°Miss Liu, you are right. We don¡¯t need to lower ourselves to the same level as this kind of person. Dignified Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, oh, ancient Cloud Mist Sect, I am so afraid!¡± Purple gowned youth, noble son Zhuifeng laughed and a trace of disdain flashed through his eyes. After that, his tone suddenly changed as he looked towards Ye Chuan, ¡°Boy, this noble son changed my mind, you don¡¯t need to slap yourself. Go, open the lid of that stone coffin and let us look what is inside. If you don¡¯t dare to walk or cannot move, then this noble son can help you.¡± Noble son Zhuifeng said as he walked towards Ye Chuan. Now, his white face was smiling but his killing intent was getting denser and denser. The meaning of Liu Hong¡¯s words, noble son Zhuifeng also understood. He knew that she wanted to kill Ye Chuan using him, but, he didn¡¯t care. An average loose cultivator feared Cloud Mist Sect that had an ancient heritage, but he regarded Cloud Mist Sect beneath his notice. For him, beheading a Big Disciple or elders of a trifling Cloud Mist Sect was something he didn¡¯t even need to frown. Chapter 224: Murong aristocratic family Chapter 224: Murong aristocratic family ¡°Who are you?¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan become cold looking face to face at this advancing noble son Zhuifeng. As for Zhu Sijia and fatty Zhao Dazhi standing at his side, their complexion was strained feeling nervous. A Rank 5 Daoist Master realm expert, even if Great Elder Zhu Guohong was here, he might not necessarily be the opponent of this purple gowned youth. ¡°Who am I?¡± Noble son Zhuifeng who was wearing a gown made from a rare purple silk coldly smile as he continued to walk towards Ye Chuan. Then, he leisurely said: ¡°Murong Zhuifeng, you can either call me noble son Murong or noble son Zhuifeng.¡± All the experts that were looking at this scene suddenly became restless. In Da Qin Dynasty, there were many big and powerful clans. Some had a large number of experts and some had wealth equivalent to that of an entire nation. But the most powerful clans were the three major aristocratic clans of the capital. One was Mu Clan that excelled in trade and business, they spread all over the Heavenly Fire Continent including every nook and corner; another one was Long Clan that excelled in making and refining weapons, they held 90% of the weaponry markets of Da Qin Dynasty; and the final one was Murong aristocratic clan teeming with experts, they produce a large number of experts in every generation. After years of expanding, these three major aristocratic clans had already become big trees with deep roots. Not only they override many nobles, they were even far superiors to many cultivating sects. Among these three major aristocratic clans, Murong aristocratic clan was the most powerful. Several hundred years ago, the old patriarch of Murong aristocratic clan had already reached the pinnacle of Daoist Master realm, and he had been cultivating in seclusion for these hundred years, ignoring the affairs of the world. According to legend, his cultivation had already reached half-sage realm, and he was already trying to break through the next bottleneck. And once he broke through to Sage realm, Murong aristocratic clan would override all aristocratic clans, becoming a peerless aristocratic clan. Murong Zhuifeng was the outstanding figure among the younger generation of Murong aristocratic clan and was also known as noble son Murong. ¡°As it turned out, he is from Murong aristocratic clan of capital, no wonder he is so lavish and has 12 Daoist Master realm experts as bodyguards that are all remarkably beautiful women!¡± ¡°He is one of the three young master of capital, Murong Zhuifeng, as the saying, knowing a person by repute is not as good as meeting them face to face, sure enough, he is a dragon among men. It is said that his swordsmanship has already reached the acme of perfection, and their old patriarch even handed down the most valuable treasure, Heavenly Blade, to him, claiming he was the future Blade Sage!¡± ¡­¡­ All people discussed spiritedly and looked at the situation with folded arms. The poisonous mist was very dangerous, and at this moment, they just happened to need someone to stand out and test or resolve it. All the experts that were eager to seize the treasure didn¡¯t mind Murong Zhuifeng forcing Ye Chuan to go to the altar, and test the poisonous mist. Tuoba Xiaoniao was worried and wanted to beg her father Tuoba Xiong to make a move to help Ye Chuan, but the result was, before she could open her mouth, Tuoba Xiong gave the order to tie her up. Murong Zhuifeng proudly held his head high and a trace of sneer appeared on his face. But, he enjoyed hearing the remarks of the people. Liu Hong was also laughing sinisterly in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended to be a delicate girl while walking at the side of Murong Zhuifeng. ¡°Sounds very amazing, merely, I have never heard before.¡± Ye Chuan opened his mouth and said appearing sincere, ¡°You are named Zhuifeng, but, is your speed really comparable to the wind?¡± [T/N: Zhuifeng means chasing wind] The hall instantly became very quiet. Murong aristocratic clan, who was the head of three major aristocratic clans of capital, in Da Qin Dynasty, its name alone reverberate like thunder, and no need to mention about their influence in the world, even cultivating sects also didn¡¯t dare to underestimate them. But, here, Ye Chuan, this dignified Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, unexpectedly said he had never heard of them. This was¡­¡­ The expression of Murong Zhuifeng sunk and he lost control of his feelings. Just a moment ago, he was still enjoying the remarks of the experts present here, but, in the blink of an eye, Ye Chuan¡¯s words ¡®never heard before¡¯ made his face burning hot as if Ye Chuan slapped his face. ¡°Whether I am as fast as the wind or not, how about we test it? Boy, if I cannot slap in your face in three moves, then I am not surnamed Murong!¡± Murong Zhuifeng was angry, and just after he finished speaking, he rushed over and slapped towards the face of Ye Chuan. Just a moment ago, he only wanted to punish Ye Chuan for Liu Hong. But now, in rage, he personally attacked, and it was no longer for Liu Hong, rather for himself and Murong Clan. All those who despise and insult Murong Clan must die! Whoosh! Murong Zhuifeng¡¯s palm had yet to reach the target, but his powerful palm wind made people unable to open their eyes and also made their war robe flutter. The complexion of the on-looking crowd suddenly changed and retreated in succession. This palm attack of Murong Zhuifeng was very fast, and the power contained within this attack was even more alarming. Even a Daoist Master realm expert might not be able to parry this attack, let alone Ye Chuan who was trifling Rank 5 Xiushi. If this slap landed, let alone a face, even a boulder will crack open. This wasn¡¯t teaching Ye Chuan a lesson. He was clearly aiming for his life. He wanted to kill Ye Chuan because of one improper remark! The people were greatly surprised. In any case, Ye Chuan was the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, killing him publicly, wasn¡¯t that equivalent to not attaching any importance to Cloud Mist Sect? Tuoba Xiong and Feng Ren didn¡¯t dare to do so as they had some misgivings in their heart. But, Murong Zhuifeng didn¡¯t have any misgivings to do so. Murong aristocratic clan was really domineering! Tuoba Xiaoniao was anxious, but not only was she tied up, even her mouth was blocked, so she could only watch the attack of Murong Zhuifeng. Murong Zhuifeng considered himself noble son Zhuifeng, and not only was he elegant and unrestrained, he considered himself special, moreover, his speed was also really fast. His voice was still reverberating in the hall, but he was already close to Ye Chuan, ferociously slapping towards him. The people exclaimed, and Tuoba Xiaoniao also whimpered as tears trickled down her cheeks. The strong palm wind was also too fast and too violent. Zhu Sijia and fatty Zhao Dazhi who were standing at the sides of Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have time to react, moreover, they couldn¡¯t even open their eyes. Since Murong Zhuifeng had suddenly rushed forward, they feared Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t be able to avoid this disaster, moreover, they two will also be involved in that disaster! Ye Chuan suddenly moved, extending his hands, he pushed Zhu Sijia and fatty far to the left and right respectively. His legs didn¡¯t move as if his legs were nailed securely to the ground, but his upper body swayed left and right. He wasn¡¯t swaying violently, but the speed of swaying was getting faster and faster. In the end, looking from far away, his upper body appeared motionless, merely, his face was somewhat blurry and there were afterimages at his sides. Murong Zhuifeng slapped down, but he only hit an afterimage. ¡°Eh¡­¡­, this brat, when did he learn our Five Style Sect¡¯s Wind Style? Liu Hong, that slut, did she secretly passed it to him?¡± Feng Ren who was looking from the sidelines screamed, but soon after that, he frowned as he felt something was wrong. The technique used by Ye Chuan appeared somewhat similar to the Wind Style of Five Style Sect, but looking carefully, there were also many differences. It was different from the Wind Style of Five Style Sect and was even more advanced style technique. The eyes of Feng Ren who was famous for Wind Style and Wind Blade gradually shone. Suddenly discovering a wind style technique that was similar but even more profound, he was overjoyed. To him, its attraction was not inferior to the treasure inside the stone coffin, or even bigger. He was sure that, if he can obtain this technique of Ye Chuan, his cultivation realm and strength would definitely rise higher and like a tiger that has grown wings, he would be fully deserved King of Wind Style! ¡°Second slap, boy, don¡¯t dodge if you are capable!¡± Murong Zhuifeng shouted and slapped once again. This time, the speed was even faster and his move created an ear-piercing sonic boom. This speed was actually not inferior to the speed of Wind Style, and as if a hurricane, it advanced towards Ye Chuan. Chapter 225: Noble son Zhuiniao Chapter 225: Noble son Zhuiniao Murong Zhuifeng¡¯s palm wind as if waves, directly headed towards Ye Chuan. In the hall, Tuoba Xiong, Feng Ren and other Daoist Master realm experts became solemn and were shocked inwardly. Such cultivation when he was still young in age, Murong Zhuifeng really had a well-deserved reputation. To be able to cultivate this kind of genius, no wonder Murong Clan was regarded prominently as the first among numerous aristocratic clans of Da Qin Dynasty. Ever since the ancient times, all cultivating sects had praised themselves as aloof and refined, moreover, they didn¡¯t particularly have a good opinion of the clans of this secular world. They often regard the secular world¡¯s clans attached to them as vassals that were used to gather the resources of the secular world for them. But, in this past several hundred years, the situation had gradually changed. The secular clans began to grow and develop and many cultivating sects however began to decline, steadily deteriorating every day. Seeing the power of Murong Zhuifeng with their own eyes, the countenance of many experts of cultivating sects changed. It seemed it was time to re-examine the strength of secular clans. Ye Chuan who was swaying left and right suddenly began to retreat. The palm wind of Murong Zhuifeng as if wave attacked forward. Its attack speed was comparable to the wind, but the speed of Ye Chuan also wasn¡¯t slow. This whole time, he maintained an arm-length distance from the palm of Murong Zhuifeng. Rank 5 Xiushi against Rank 5 Daoist Master, in a head-on battle, Ye Chuan naturally wasn¡¯t the opponent, but, after refining demonic dragon blood and condensing demonic dragon talisman, his body had transformed once again and he was able to use Peerless Style Technique with even higher proficiency. Murong Zhuifeng stopped his step and looking at Ye Chuan using a strange technique, his complexion became ashen and even more unsightly. His fist palm attack failed, hitting only the shadow of Ye Chuan; this second palm attack however didn¡¯t fail, but he was unable to reach Ye Chuan and there was nowhere to release his strength. That feeling was too terrible and too uncomfortable. ¡°Not bad, your speed is pretty good, but, it seems you are still a bit slow to truly reach the realm of chasing wind (Zhuifeng). In any case, if I were you, then I wouldn¡¯t have dared to brag like that, chasing bird (Zhuiniao) is more like it. Noble son Murong, how about we just call you noble son Zhuiniao (chasing bird) from now on?¡± Ye Chuan also stopped and confidently standing three meters away, he said as if he was looking down on Murong Zhuifeng. Noble son Zhuiniao? The on-looking crowd couldn¡¯t resist smiling and some even chuckled. The formidable noble son Zhuifeng who was natural and unrestrained in the eyes of everyone, with the words of Ye Chuan, turned into noble son Zhuiniao! ¡°Boy, you¡­¡­¡± Murong Zhuifeng was rather flustered, exasperated and was driven nuts. He suddenly understood why Liu Hong hated Ye Chuan so much. The mouth of this fellow was sharper than a sword, and his words directly hit the heart. Now, Murong Zhuifeng was truly angry. He once again rushed forward and sent out a slap. Since he had already said he would slap Ye Chuan in the presence of all, he would do what he said! This time, his speed was faster, and his palm left afterimages left and right, making it next to impossible to tell from which direction his slap will come. After consecutively missing twice, Murong Zhuifeng was furious but he had also learned from his mistakes. Now, he didn¡¯t dare to underestimate Ye Chuan who appeared to have ordinary cultivation base. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-brother, be careful, dodge it!¡± Zhu Sijia screamed, and at the same time, she wondered why Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t summon old evil spirit Hei Kui and Sea Demoness from inside his Cyan Lotus Space. Although she didn¡¯t understand the specific about that matter, in Ghost King Chessboard, she had seen Ye Chuan suddenly summoning human faced snakes, puppet doll and others to attack. Zhu Sijia knew that Ye Chuan must have a trump card. But, if that trump card was not used now, then when will he use? ¡°Hahahaha, want to dodge? How will you dodge?¡± Murong Zhuifeng roared with laughter. His attack was like a wind. Even though it clearly was one attack, it appeared as if he had simultaneously attacked with more than hundred palms, moreover, the attack was erratic. Sure enough, just after he spoke, his palm attack ferociously landed on the shoulder of Ye Chuan, then he only swayed, but Ye Chuan was sent flying, moreover, after landing on the ground, he staggered. ¡°Hahaha, brat, you are crazy! Want to continue, how are you not crazy? Aren¡¯t you very powerful?¡± Murong Zhuifeng aggressively said. Thinking about Ye Chuan calling him ¡®noble son Zhuiniao¡¯, he burst into flames of anger and gnashing his teeth, his complexion became ferocious. ¡°Generally speaking, I am not that powerful, merely, I am just a little bit more powerful compared to you. Noble son Zhuiniao, you lose, so think carefully, since you are not surnamed Murong, what should be your surname? Be sure to not say you want to change your surname to Ye, otherwise, my surname Ye will lose face.¡± Ye Chuan sneered, slowly calming down the chaotic qi within his body. And consciously or unconsciously, he took a quick glance at the collar of Murong Zhuifeng. Now, that place had a small Golden Cicada. The instant, they collided, Ye Chuan let Murong Zhuifeng palm his shoulder and summoning Six-Winged Golden Cicada, he secretly flicked it. On the surface, it appeared as if he lost, but he left behind a killing move on Murong Zhuifeng in secret. If there was any other person including a Daoist Master realm expert in his place, it was impossible for them to do this and also wouldn¡¯t dare to take such risk, but Ye Chuan accomplished it. This palm attack of Murong Zhuifeng was naturally powerful. It was powerful enough to destroy even steel. If Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t refined demonic dragon blood, making his physical body especially doughty, then he would have been unable to stand up after this attack. The laughter of Murong Zhuifeng ceased abruptly and feeling shame, his complexion become green and then white. Hearing such words of Ye Chuan, all of his victory feeling vanished as he recalled his fine speech of before. In three moves, if he couldn¡¯t slap Ye Chuan in the face, then he was not surnamed Murong. Although his third slap finally hit Ye Chuan, it hit his left shoulder, not his face. Going back on his word in the presence of all, how can he endure this? After many years of arrogance, he finally tasted a bitter fruit. Murong Zhuifeng who was always absolutely lawless in the capital and considered himself to be of extraordinary birth, now, felt his face burning hot. ¡°Noble son Murong, why are letting this brat talk too much, just kill him directly!¡± Liu Hong advanced a few steps forward and cunningly saved Murong Zhuifeng from embarrassment. Now, her eyes which used to arouse love in former days were filled with viciousness. ¡°Brat, you forced me. I will let you see the power of my Murong aristocratic family¡¯s Chasing Wind Blade Technique and also let you taste the flavor of Heavenly Blade. It is definitely your honor to die under the Heavenly Blade!¡± The words of Liu Hong awoke people from their dream, and Murong Zhuifeng immediately took action. He suddenly unsheathed a blade that was half as tall as him and rushed towards Ye Chuan. Compared to general blades, this blade was clearly much longer. The back of the blade was thick and heavy and its edge was extremely thin and very sharp, moreover, it was bent making a deadly arc. Once the blade was drawn out, along with an arm-length blade light, the air within the radius of 100 meters sunk and then rippled and distorted as if an invisible sword qi was ripping it apart. Inside the hall, the swords in the hand of the people simultaneously trembled, seemingly wanted to slip out of their hand. Heavenly Blade! Murong Zhuifeng flew into a rage as he wielded the treasure passed down in his Murong aristocratic family. According to the legend, this Heavenly Blade was the great killing weapon left behind by a Sage called Blade Sage millions of years ago. Later, no one knew how but it fell into the hands of the ancestor of Murong aristocratic family, becoming a peerless treasure which the ancestors of Murong aristocratic family used to kill everywhere to establish the foundation of their clan. ¡°Powerful, is this the legendary Heavenly Blade?¡± ¡°Once Heavenly Blade is out, you cannot sheath it without seeing the blood, this disciple of Cloud Mist Sect is screwed!¡± ¡­¡­ All experts looking on with cold eyes become restless once again. Tuoba Xiaoniao struggled to jump in front of her father Tuoba Xiong, but unable to speak, she could only use her two tearful eyes to beg her father to make a move. But, Tuoba Xiong looked away as if he didn¡¯t see her. At the edge of the stone forest, he had already saved Ye Chuan once, and he would never save him for the second time. Chapter 226: Blade Domain Chapter 226: Blade Domain With Heavenly Blade in his hand, the momentum of Murong Zhuifeng changed greatly. He became even swifter and fiercer as he pressed forward. Ye Chuan who was standing opposite to him suddenly felt a heavy pressure and also felt as if he was unable to breathe. Blade Domain! This blade domain didn¡¯t originate from Murong Zhuifeng, rather originated from the Heavenly Blade itself. This blade unexpectedly came with a powerful blade domain. Ye Chuan who concealed the heaven with his hand in his previous life was well-experienced and knowledgeable. He quickly understood what was going on and was surprised in his heart. Treasures also had subdivision according to its quality. They are generally divided into Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow, these four grades. As for the treasures with the domain, it should be at least high Heaven grade. Such treasures can only be encountered not sought. Moreover, they were even more difficult to encounter compared to Heaven grade techniques! Buzz! An ear-piercing void breaking sound resounded as the blade vibrated. Now, Murong Zhuifeng¡¯s speed was very fast, compared to before, he was 30% faster. The Heavenly Blade in his hand seemed to substantially increase all his attributes along with his fighting capability. Not giving any time for Ye Chuan to think, he ferociously chopped with his blade. Then, the original only arm-length red blade light suddenly became twice as long, as if a bright red flame. Ye Chuan quickly retreated, and circulating six heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he resisted the invisible pressure of blade domain. A muffled sound which resembled the sound of kitchen knife cutting the chopping board resounded. Ye Chuan retreated 5 meters away and his chest rapidly rose and fell as he bled and dyed the robe he was wearing red. Ye Chuan retreated very quickly and successfully dodged the sharp Heavenly Blade, but the swift and sharp blade light injured him. Now, he had a half-arm length cut on his chest. That cut slanted from his left chest to the right stomach. If he was half-a-step slower, then his stomach would have cut open, or he might have even cut into two half. Ye Chuan stretched his right hand and touched his wound. Then, seeing his hand was full of blood, he was shocked. After refining demonic dragon blood and condensing Demonic Dragon Talisman, his physical body was already very doughty. In this aspect, average Daoist Master realm experts were inferior to him. Even when he was standing still, Liu Hong was unable to stab him with her flying sword. But now, merely the blade light gave him such a deep cut, how sharp was the Heavenly Blade in the hand of Murong Zhuifeng? The complexion of Ye Chuan strained. He clearly understood that he was still careless. In his memory, when he concealed the heaven with his hand, Wilderness World definitely didn¡¯t have such killing weapon. This Heavenly Blade, either it appeared after he was trapped in the God Burial Valley, or was not the original thing of this world and was a killing weapon originated from the world beyond the highest heaven. Like the master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, it might have come from the unfathomable world beyond the highest heaven! Moreover, only in the world beyond the highest heaven where the energy was violent had the ability to give birth to such peerless weapon! Ye Chuan suddenly recalled that black sea of the world beyond the highest heaven. Just the invisible energy rippling in the air was enough to tear apart people. Only the blade given birth by such environment would have such brutal power. He estimated that only the experts who lived in such environment could withstand the attack of Heavenly Blade, this kind of lethal weapon. ¡°Come on, brat, let me see how many moves can you withstand!¡± Murong Zhuifeng rushed forward once again, and leaving behind afterimages left and right, his blade qi swept over. Very quickly, Ye Chuan received another deep cut, and without any time to catch the breath, blade light came again. The more Murong Zhuifeng attacked, the more valiant he became showing no quarter. The hall instantly became silent. All the experts that had come to seize the treasure were simultaneously attracted by this breathtaking battle. Every one of them was holding their breath fearing they would make a sound. And seeing the power of Heavenly Blade in the hands of Murong Zhuifeng, many Daoist Master realm experts sweated, asking themselves whether they could withstand few moves if they were in the place of Yu Chuan. The cultivation base of Murong Zhuifeng was far higher than Ye Chuan and his speed was also alarming, in addition, he had such a powerful killing weapon, therefore everyone thought that it was impossible for Murong Zhuifeng to lose. Ye Chuan was screwed this time! Liu Hong who was standing at one side grinned hideously seeing the current circumstance. Just a moment ago, Ye Chuan had spoken correctly, she was truly approaching Murong Zhuifeng, this golden thigh. It was not disgraceful to approach a thigh. Those who didn¡¯t have the strength and also didn¡¯t understand to borrow power were disgraceful, moreover, were doomed to be crushed. With her current strength, it was impossible to kill Ye Chuan, but using her mouth, she could kill him by a proxy. Bewitching Murong Zhuifeng and killing Ye Chuan was also her ability! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, be careful!¡± ¡°Fight back, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia and fatty Zhao Dazhi were extremely nervous as they shouted themselves hoarse. They wanted to step forward to help, but it was only courting death if they try to intervene as Murong Zhuifeng could easily cut them to pieces as if cutting vegetables. Tuoba Xiaoniao also whimpered anxiously, but since she was tightly bound, she was unable to move. She could only watch helplessly as Ye Chuan received more and more injuries. All the people on the sidelines were also nervous but Ye Chuan who was bearing the brunt however was calm and composed. Although he was dripping with blood, he wasn¡¯t flustered. He repeatedly dodged the deadly attacks, protecting his throat, heart and so on vital parts. Should I use Six Winged Golden Cicada now? Ye Chuan also had thoughts to counterattack, but very quickly, he abandoned this thought as it was not the perfect time yet. The Six Winged Golden Cicada hiding in the collar of Murong Zhuifeng was his greatest and also only trump card. Once he used it, it would disappear. Murong Zhuifeng was too ferocious, so even if he summoned old yao spirit Hei Kui and the yao beast legion, they wouldn¡¯t be able to resist. And as for Sea Demoness Hai Lili, she was also useless in this situation, she had no time to put good use to her innate technique. Now, when Murong Zhuifeng was most tyrannical, rashly using Six Winged Golden Cicada, this trump card might catch him off-guard and injure him, interrupting his ferocious attack, but he wanted to give the other party a lethal attack, which had a very big degree of difficulty in this situation. Without enough assurance, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to rashly take action, so he continued to dodge. Slowly, more and more wound appeared on his body and his entire body was dripping with blood. But, he was still calm, while the people watching this battle repeatedly shook their head. Tuoba Xiong also had a change in countenance. He had never expected Ye Chuan to be so tenacious. But, admiration was admiration, he didn¡¯t have any intention to set out a helping hand. Conversely, Elder Feng Ren of Five Style Sect didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid and was secretly approaching, He wanted to capture Ye Chuan and interrogate the secrets of Peerless Style Technique. But, when he saw valorous Murong Zhuifeng, he repeatedly wanted to make a move, but he resisted with great difficulty. After wielding Heavenly Blade, the combat capability of Murong Zhuifeng had increased vastly. Now, even Feng Ren who walked unhindered in Cloud Mist Mountain Range didn¡¯t dare to be conceited and arrogant. But, at that time, a change suddenly appeared on the altar. When the attention of people was on the fierce battle between Ye Chuan and Murong Zhuifeng, and thought that Ye Chuan would certainly die, the stone coffin on the altar suddenly trembled and a white light burst out. Moreover, a strong dangerous feeling came from inside the stone coffin along with earth-shaking energy fluctuation. This dangerous aura immediately spread all around, seemingly something was germinating, or resembled, something was gradually awakening from a deep sleep. ¡°The inheritance of Paradise Realm, inheritance treasure is coming out!¡± ¡°The stone coffin is opening, the restriction has weakened!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ All the experts simultaneously turned around. There was someone who couldn¡¯t hold back and rushed over, ignoring the poisonous mist. He wanted to be the first to grab the treasure inside the stone coffin and flee to the faraway place. At this time, the ferocious attacks of Murong Zhuifeng also ceased abruptly. He wanted to kill Ye Chuan and was dying to chop Ye Chuan into pieces, but the inheritance of Paradise Realm was even more important. This time, he had come a long way from the capital just to seize the inheritance of this paradise realm, otherwise, it was impossible to borrow this peerless treasure Heavenly Blade from the old patriarch! Chapter 227: Mist Bamboo Chapter 227: Mist Bamboo Three Daoist master realm loose cultivators rushed to the altar practically at the same time, but instead of joining hands to break open the restriction of the stone coffin, they suddenly drew out their sword and began attacking each other. With the inheritance of Paradise Realm in front of them, who didn¡¯t want to monopolize it and who was willing to share it with others? The ugliness of humanity was fully revealed at this moment. Among the three loose cultivators, two quickly collapsed, suffering heavy injuries. When they were scheming against other people, they also fell in the scheme of other people. But, the fellow who survived wasn¡¯t lucky, rather was even more sinister. The instant he rushed towards that altar, the other two loose cultivators had also rushed forward behind him. But, he deliberately fell half a step behind, then from behind, he inflicted those two loose cultivators heavy injuries, dodging their counterattack. Most of the time, the final survivor wasn¡¯t determined by the strength, better luck and even so-called goodness, rather determined by who was even more sinister and even more despicable. The so-called good person doesn¡¯t live long but a bad person survives millennium disaster was this principle. If one wasn¡¯t sinister and ruthless, how can one survive in the crowds of devils? ¡°Hahaha, the inheritance of this paradise realm is mine!¡± The surviving loose cultivator roared with laughter. He was an eagle nosed, horse-faced middle-aged man. He appeared very shrewd and ruthless means. Now, his eyes were shining, but learning from the lesson of the first person, he didn¡¯t directly rushed to the stone coffin, rather kicked the corpse of one loose cultivator flying towards that stone coffin. The poisonous mist around the stone coffin immediately spread and seethed, then this loose cultivator who had just taken the last breath immediately changed into a skeleton. And at the same time, due to the collision, the lid of this stone coffin moved half an inch away, and the vibration became even more intense. After that, this eagle nosed middle-aged man kicked the corpse of another loose cultivator flying. Dong! Along with the muffled sound, the gap in the lid of stone coffin became even bigger and a trace of green light spilled out from inside the stone coffin. Moreover, from this gap, a plant that was three inches tall became visible. It was somewhat similar to a bamboo. It was completely green as if it was made up of green crystal stone, but its stem and leaves radiated flourishing vitality, apparently wasn¡¯t a dead plant. What is that? A bamboo? People were dumbfounded. Who would have thought that the inheritance of this paradise realm was a bamboo? ¡°Attack, together!¡± ¡°All of you, scram, this treasure is mine!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Unexpected was unexpected, but someone quickly reacted and flew over to the altar. Murong Zhuifeng didn¡¯t utter a word. Now, he had no time to chase and kill already bloody Ye Chuan. He immediately turned around and rushed towards the altar at the end of this hall. ¡°Noble son Murong, noble son Murong¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong stamped her leg and ferociously glared at Ye Chuan as she followed behind Murong Zhuifeng. This was such a good opportunity, but Ye Chuan still wasn¡¯t killed, so she was very hateful in her heart! The eagle nosed middle-aged man also came back to sense and he quickly pounced forward, stretching his hand towards the green bamboo inside the stone coffin. He wanted to be the first person to grab it. But the poisonous mist surrounding the stone coffin seethed once again and submerged this eagle nosed middle-aged man. Then, along with a sad and shrill scream, this loose cultivator that survived the slaughter of before died in the midst of this poisonous mist after his flesh and blood were corroded inch by inch while still alive. His fate was even worse than those previous two loose cultivators. Still, this terrifying scene didn¡¯t frighten people to retreat. Even more people rushed to the altar. With a treasure out in open, many people went insane and didn¡¯t care about their life. Some people didn¡¯t believe in heresy or they had confidence in the doughtiness of their physical body, so they rushed forward; some people found a rope with a hook from who knows where and they were trying to take out the treasure from inside the stone coffin from a distant place; some wielded their flying sword, directly attacking the stone coffin so as to break the poisonous mist restriction. All were displaying their remarkable ability. Murong Zhuifeng also rushed forward. Tuoba Xiong and Feng Ren also didn¡¯t lag behind. As a result, the altar became even more chaotic. Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t rush forward. He calmly kept watching as before. Merely, after seeing the green bamboo sprout inside the stone coffin, his eyes gradually become scorching hot as he muttered: ¡°Mist Bamboo, that is the legendary ancient times¡¯ Mist Bamboo¡­¡­¡± Seeing the green bamboo sprout inside the stone coffin, people were stunned, but Ye Chuan was excited as he recalled a piece of his dusty memory. Just like Heavenly Dragon Rice, Mist Bamboo was also a kind of legendary ancient spiritual object. At daytime, it would emit flourishing vitality which could make the spirit of people feel refreshed and they would also get twice the result with half the effort in cultivation. But at night time or at the dim places or in some special circumstances, it emitted extremely poisonous mist, imperceptibly killing people. It is said that mixing together its leaf and dewdrops collected on its leaf, one could refine Drunken Stupor Water Mist or Bamboo Mist Pill. Heavenly Fire Continent had a verse of ancient ballad, don¡¯t beg glory, don¡¯t beg immortality, only beg a tube of water mist inside the bamboo. This water mist often referred to Mist Bamboo, merely, now, no-one knew the exact meaning. ¡°This Mist Bamboo is mine!¡± Ye Chuan stood motionless and his eyes got brighter and brighter as he ignored his injuries. Ordinary heaven grade cultivation techniques and treasures were something he didn¡¯t even place in his eyes, but this green bamboo sprout inside the stone coffin made him excited. If he obtained this too, then along with Heavenly Dragon Rice, he would have two real ancient times¡¯ spiritual objects. At the moment, one will not be able to see any benefit of these spiritual objects, but at the time of harvest, the benefit will be beyond imagination! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what did you say?¡± Zhu Sijia rushed over and hastily helped Ye Chuan bind up his wounds. Seeing his body was riddled with bloody wounds, her eyes became red. She didn¡¯t want any treasure, and didn¡¯t even need the inheritance of this paradise realm, as long as Ye Chuan was fine, she was perfectly content. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, let¡¯s go, taking advantage of their chaotic battle, let¡¯s leave quickly!¡± Shrewd Zhu Sijia who feared neither Heaven nor Earth in former days now was really scared. She was scared that Murong Zhuifeng would turn back and come to kill Ye Chuan. The sharpness of Heavenly Blade was truly peerless in this world. ¡°Isn¡¯t it too pitiful to leave now? The inheritance of paradise realm¡­¡± Fatty whispered. Just now, he was incomparably nervous and was dying to go as far away as possible from this auxiliary palace. But now, seeing the green bamboo inside the stone coffin, he was reluctant to leave. ¡°It¡¯s not pitiful to leave now. Fatty, we¡¯ll leave first, you can stay behind and if you don¡¯t obtain anything, then don¡¯t ever return to Cloud Mist Sect. We will wait for you outside paradise realm.¡± Ye Chuan said as the corner of his mouth rose revealing a smile yet not a smile. The fatty meat of fatty trembled and he immediately responded: ¡°Let¡¯s leave, immediately leave, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, let¡¯s leave this place immediately, hurry!¡± Recalling the strength of Murong Zhuifeng, fatty¡¯s legs went soft and took the initiative to run towards the doorway of this auxiliary palace. But after walking several steps, they discovered that Ye Chuan was standing still, unexpectedly wasn¡¯t walking. ¡°Jiajia, you and fatty leave first.¡± Ye Chuan retracted his smile and instructed in all seriousness. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, what about you?¡± Zhu Sijia understood the intention of Ye Chuan, but she couldn¡¯t help asking, begging him to leave together with them. ¡°Without obtaining the thing inside the stone coffin, I will not return Cloud Mist Sect. Leave, you two, quickly leave!¡± Ye Chuan waved his hand, taking out Heaven Burning Furnace. After that, he intently stared at the altar that was at the ends of this hall even though his wounds were still bleeding. Just now, when confronting the violent attacks of Murong Zhuifeng, he just dodged without taking out Heaven Burning Furnace. But now, seeing the treasure inside the stone coffin was actually Mist Bamboo, he was ready to risk everything to obtain it. ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll wait for you outside. Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you must return alive, I will wait for you!¡± Zhu Sijia gritted her teeth. Although she was very reluctant in her heart, she still turned around and left. Seeing Ye Chuan had already made up her mind, she didn¡¯t say anything and made a prompt decision, silently praying for his safety. Chapter 228: I waited for you for a long time Chapter 228: I waited for you for a long time On the altar, there were glints and flashes of daggers and swords. Various experts were displaying their various kinds of remarkable abilities to break the restriction of this stone coffin. And the number of people jumping onto the altar was increasing. Many people whose cultivation had yet to reach Daoist Master realm were also boldly rushing up, trying to fish in troubled waters. Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t enter this muddy water, rather busied himself to quietly lay out ambush at the exit of this auxiliary palace. First, he took out a crystal stone and silently used his technique as he threw it to the ground, then, he drew a rune on the ground, and placing Heaven Burning Furnace on the nucleus of this formation, he poured majestic energy¡­¡­ Slowly, the mist began to condense in the sky, vaguely enveloping the exit of this auxiliary hall. This mist somewhat resembled the grey mist seen everywhere in this paradise realm, therefore, at first glance, no-one would find it strange, but, as soon as one enters this zone, they would be subjected to an invisible restriction. Mist Fire Formation! Using the things available in his hands, Ye Chuan quickly laid out a simple and easy formation. As the name implies, this formation was very simple, it used mist and fire to trap and kill the enemy. It was a kind of commonly seen formation in Wilderness World. But, in the hands of Ye Chuan, such simple formation became different. Strengthening some places of this formation, anyone who steps into this formation would definitely get a big surprise. After laying out a formation, Ye Chuan summoned yao beasts from inside his Cyan Lotus Space, then made them hide on one side. After that, he sat down on the spot and began to wait calmly. There were many experts on the altar and there was no shortage of Daoist Master realm experts like Tuoba Xiong and Murong Zhuifeng. And since many experts were cooperating, sooner or later, the restriction of this stone coffin would break. But, no matter who obtain the Mist Bamboo inside the stone coffin, they had to go through this place to leave. For Ye Chuan, that time was the best chance to make a move. The light inside the hall was somewhat dim, so it was hard to tell if human-faced snakes, evil eyed cow demons and other yao beasts hiding inside the mist really exist or not. Ye Chuan closed his eyes and his breathing slowly became long-drawn-out. Now, his spirit was immersed in six Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. After breaking through to Rank 5 Xiushi realm and condensing Demonic Dragon Talisman, the remaining five Heaven Swallowing Talismans also had some unexpected changes. They revolve around the Demonic Dragon Talisman in order and they themselves also rotate slowly. Compared to before, they were even more condensed, seemingly, they were no longer five talismans, rather real human faced snake, Buddha and other existences. They indistinctly had the aura of life. ¡°Afterward, can it be that these Heaven Swallowing Talismans will become avatars? After condensing 108,000 Heaven Swallowing Talismans, can it be that they will evolve into 108,000 avatars?¡± Carefully sensing the changes in six Heaven Swallowing Talismans, a thought suddenly appeared in the heart of Ye Chuan. In his previous lifetime, he had only concealed the heaven with his hand and was known as Heaven Concealing Great Sage. At that time, he had a very few numbers of opponents in Wilderness World. But, although the Heaven Concealing Secrets was powerful, even in his prime, he didn¡¯t have any avatars, so he didn¡¯t know much about avatars. If cultivating Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets could really create 108,000 avatars in the future, then, wouldn¡¯t that be equivalent to the existence like gods that were even more powerful than legendary Immortal? The heartbeat of Ye Chuan sped up as he got excited. When Murong Zhuifeng, Tuoba Xiong and others were crazily trying to break the restriction of the stone coffin, he however had sudden enlightenment in his cultivation, realizing the higher steps of Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets. This sudden enlightenment didn¡¯t immediately multiply his strength but it was even more significant as Ye Chuan was able to see the direction and objective of cultivation. In this lifetime, I will not only re-take everything I lost in my previous lifetime, moreover, I am destined to create even greater glory and set foot on even higher pinnacle than my previous lifetime. What Sage, what Immortal, I will no longer only conceal the heaven, rather I will swallow the heaven! Now, Ye Chuan was high-spirited and vigorous as he got a great aspiration, moreover, he also had a greater pursuit in cultivation! Perhaps due to his great aspiration and grandeur, six Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body automatically rotated faster, moreover, Demonic Dragon Talisman glimmered with white light as it flickered emitting energy. It appeared as if it would turn into a real existence and then breaking open the void, it would return to that world beyond the highest heaven. Now, with regarding that unknown world beyond the highest heaven, Ye Chuan had an indescribable sense of intimacy. But when did he start to have such feeling? Was it because of that cyan small crystal man that could link up with the world beyond the highest heaven or because of the condensation of Demonic Dragon Talisman? Ye Chuan himself also wasn¡¯t clear. Inside Cyan Lotus Space, the spirit of Ye Chuan casually explored a corner and at that time, the half-closed half-opened eyes of ice-cold cyan crystal man suddenly opened slightly. Then, an invisible energy which Ye Chuan didn¡¯t sense suddenly pierce through Cyan Lotus Lamp and soared straight towards the sky. Tuoba Xiong and other Daoist Master realm experts that were on the altar also didn¡¯t sense anything, on the contrary, this ancient paradise realm swayed and the restriction of entire paradise realm seemed to loosen. ¡°Continue, break for me!¡± ¡°Break this restriction, break this restriction, this treasure is mine!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ All kinds of shouts resounded from the altar, and the poisonous mist shrouding the stone coffin finally dissipated. Now, the Mist Bamboo inside the stone coffin was fully displayed in front of everyone. A fierce battle started. Someone took the lead to seize the Mist Bamboo and then he roared with laughter in excitement. But, in the next moment, his laughter ceased abruptly as a sword had penetrated his chest from behind. The fellow that successfully carried out the sneak attack, seized the Mist Bamboo, then turning around, he fled. But, before he could jump down the altar, a huge heavy cauldron descended from the heaven, crushing him into a meat pulp. After that Tuoba Xiong rushed over, but someone else was a step faster, he sent the huge cauldron flying and seized the Mist Bamboo¡­¡­ All the experts who were cooperating just a moment ago to break the restriction of the stone coffin, without any hesitation, attacked each other. In the blink of an eye, blood flowed like a river on this altar and the Mist Bamboo changed hands numerous times. But, no matter who obtain the Mist Bamboo, in an instant, he would be besieged by two or three experts, or even worse. This priceless ancient spirit object, as if changed into the jaws of death, no matter who obtain it, that person had to pay with his blood and life. An extremely swift and fierce blade light suddenly flashed through the sky. Young and promising Murong Zhuifeng made a move. No-one knew what kind of pill he ate but his strength suddenly increased sharply. Holding Heavenly Blade, he killed everyone he saw, and no one could block him from snatching the Mist Bamboo. After that, along with his 12 beautiful bodyguards, he rushed straight towards the exit of this auxiliary hall. ¡°Hahaha, all seniors, thank you. This treasure is mine. You all shouldn¡¯t even think about snatching it from me. Hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Murong Zhuifeng roared with laughter and his speed got faster and faster, leaving behind afterimages on the altar. Tuoba Xiong looked and sighed as he was unable to catch up. Feng Ren gritted his teeth and used his wind style to chase. But he was attacked with an attack that was not inferior to his wind blade. Along with the flash of blade light, his head was nearly cut off by the attack of Murong Zhuifeng. Now, he was so scared that he didn¡¯t dare to chase and he could merely look at Murong Zhuifeng getting further and further away. ¡°Hahaha, hahahahaha¡­¡­¡± Murong Zhuifeng roared with laughter. Now, the anger he felt due to Ye Chuan had completely vanished, but just when he reached the exit of this auxiliary palace, he suddenly saw a familiar figure blocking his way. ¡°Ye Chuan?¡± Murong Zhuifeng exclaimed in surprise. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me, noble son Murong, I waited for you for a long time.¡± Ye Chuan smiled standing in front of the exit of this auxiliary palace, blocking the path of Murong Zhuifeng. Chapter 229: Although the formation is insignificant, its might however is big Chapter 229: Although the formation is insignificant, its might however is big ¡°Hahaha, waiting for me for a long time? Brat, blocking my road so that you can rob the treasure out of my hand, are you capable? Hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Murong Zhuifeng roared with laughter. He laughed so hard that tears flowed out from his eyes. This truly was so unexpected! After eating Yuanyang Pill, his strength had doubled for the time being, so he was able to kill experts everywhere on the altar. Moreover, no one was able to block his Heaven Blade including Tuoba Xiong and Feng Ren. But, here, a trivial Rank 5 Xiushi realm Ye Chuan wanted to block him. Wasn¡¯t this courting death? The complexion of Murong Zhuifeng was cold as he grinned hideously, then ferociously rushing towards Ye Chuan, he said: ¡°Brat, are you tired of living? Well, this noble son will help you achieve your wish!¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t walk on the path of Heaven but insist on rushing towards the door of hell, noble son Ye, this time, it¡¯s not that I wanted to kill you, rather you delivered yourself to the death door, hahahaha.¡± Liu Hong also roared with laughter while following behind 12 beautiful bodyguards that were running behind Murong Zhuifeng. The more powerful Murong Zhuifeng was, the more complacent she felt in her heart. This thigh she hugged firmly was hard to encounter young and promising genius with a big background. She will never let go. Moreover, he was such an elegant and unrestrained gallant young scholar! Having brought up in this Cloud Mist Mountain range, Liu Hong was already somewhat bored with this place. If she could seize the power of Five Style Sect in one fell swoop, then that would be best. But, she also didn¡¯t mind following Murong Zhuifeng back to the capital entering the new world. If the worst comes to the worst, after taking a firm foot in the capital, she could return and forcibly unify Five Style Sect with the help of Murong Zhuifeng¡¯s power. At that time, she could exterminate whoever refused to obey. Suddenly, a white mist appeared in the sky which enveloped the group of Murong Zhuifeng. Then, in an instant, they felt heavy, as if they were being weighed down by an invisible mountain. The speed of Murong Zhuifeng was alarming. In an instant, the Heavenly Blade in his hand arrived in front of Ye Chuan. But, in the blink of an eye, Ye Chuan who was about to be chopped into half by his Heavenly Blade was covered by dense mist and disappeared instantly. ¡°Be careful, there is an ambush!¡± Liu Hong who was walking at the last suddenly screamed as she felt a strong sense of danger. She deeply knew the ferociousness of Ye Chuan. Although his cultivation appeared not up to much, in fact, he was hidden. His schemes were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even old evil spirits that lived for thousands of years were inferior to him. ¡°Humph, don¡¯t change the direction, follow me forward, rush straight ahead!¡± Murong Zhuifeng coldly snorted. How could the ambush of Ye Chuan enter his eyes? Moreover, the dense mist was getting denser and denser and the troops behind were also getting nearer and nearer, so he was unwilling to get entangled with Ye Chuan. He wanted to forcibly rush out straight. As long as he was able to exit this Chaotian Palace, everything would be easy to handle. Even ten Ye Chuans wouldn¡¯t be able to kill him. But, if he were to get entangled here for a long time, the effect of Yuanyang Pill would end and his strength would fall again, at that time, the joint attack of Tuoba Xiong, Feng Ren and others would be troublesome. In the midst of dense mist, a dim light suddenly shone, as if a small dim oil lamp that illuminates the path. Murong Zhuifeng and others who were about to grit their teeth and rush straight forward suddenly stopped, then Murong Zhuifeng who was in the front suddenly screamed, ¡°Be careful, this isn¡¯t oil lamp!¡± Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, void breaking sound suddenly resounded as earth-shattering light beams whistled towards them. Evil Eyed Cow Demons that were ready long ago attacked. Several hundreds of Evil Eyed Cow Demons arranged in a neat formation initiated their attack and Murong Zhuifeng and others were their live target. Murong Zhuifeng immediately used Heavenly Blade in his hand to block these light beams; Liu Hong¡¯s lithe and graceful body swayed and using Cyan Feather Technique, she dodged all of those light beams; as for those 12 beautiful bodyguards, some were caught unprepared, but, relying on their battle armor and Rank 1 Daoist Master realm cultivation base, they withstood. Even after the first round of concentrated light beam attack, no one among the group of Murong Zhuifeng fell. For average people, the attack of Evil Eyed Cow Demons was terrifying, but their power was not sufficient to deal with Daoist Master realm experts. ¡°Hahaha, brat, is this all you got? Come out, if you have the ability, come out. I will kill you in a single slash!¡± Murong Zhuifeng roared with laughter. Walking into the ambush, he encountered an invisible binding, but as long as he was sufficiently strong, nothing could hinder his path! ¡°This is just the beginning appetizer, noble son Murong, welcome to the Mist Fire Formation. Raging flames and dense mist, come out, welcome your next sumptuous meal!¡± The voice of Ye Chuan resounded, but, his position was unknown. The eyes of Murong Zhuifeng flashed with an ominous glint, and the Heavenly Blade in his hand glittered like frost, but he couldn¡¯t find the exact location of Ye Chuan, so he was unable to attack. ¡°Hahaha, Mist Fire Formation? Brat, aren¡¯t you too na?ve? With this kind of formation, do you think¡­¡­¡± Murong Zhuifeng laughed. He was thinking what Ye Chuan was up to, but he was using such a simple formation. This Mist Fire Formation was the most common type of formation, this formation couldn¡¯t even trap one of his female bodyguards. Whoosh! Before Murong Zhuifeng could finish speaking, among the dense mist, suddenly a fire snake rushed out, then rushed towards Murong Zhuifeng and others. After that, the second one, the third one¡­¡­, and the flame soared around the periphery. Now, on all sides, flame walls that had surging heat wave appeared, trapping Murong Zhuifeng¡¯s group. As for the sky, a dense mist appeared. Inhaling this mist dried their throat and made them feel burning-like pain. It felt as if a burning red iron was jammed on their throat. Ye Chuan began to use the full power of this Mist Fire Formation. Mist Fire Formation was very simple, but it also depended on who was using this formation and what was used as the formation nucleus. In the blink of an eye, the might of Heaven Burning Furnace was displayed. Now, Murong Zhuifeng didn¡¯t have time to laugh. Under the attack of fire snakes, he was flustered. This move was something that couldn¡¯t be blocked using his Heavenly Blade. Using the blade to cut off the water, water would splash everywhere, using a blade to cut off the fire, instead of cutting fire, the fire might burn the hand! Liu Hong also couldn¡¯t laugh. Although Cyan Feather Technique was a powerful technique, with dense mist and flames everywhere, how could she dodge? Her poor shining white slender legs quickly lost their enchanting luster. If she didn¡¯t think of a way to break out of this formation, then her bewitchingly charming body might be burned to ashes, then she could only change into a female ghost and seduce zombies. The two people were flustered, but those 12 beautiful bodyguards were in even more bad situation. Their battle armors that had helped them to block the light beam attack of Evil Eyed Cow Demons also had reduced their agility and flexibility. As a result, some had their sleeves caught on fire, and some had their eyebrows burnt. At that time, a rustling sound came from the midst of dense mist. ¡°Be careful, there is another ambush!¡± Murong Zhuifeng screamed and all 12 beautiful bodyguards quickly became alert. All of them were Daoist Master realm experts, and they released their powerful energy fluctuation. Whoosh! A sturdy tail suddenly lashed out from the midst of the mist as fast as lightning, then wrapping around the slender waist of one beautiful bodyguard, she was pulled inside the dense mist. Afterwards, her sad and shrill scream resounded and her aura vanished. With the sharp eyes of Liu Hong, she vaguely saw a crowd of terrifying yao beasts. They were human faced snakes, and there were no less than a dozen of them. Evil Eyed Cow Demons retreated and they were quietly replaced by human faced snakes that were tamed by Ye Chuan at the final round of Ghost King Chessboard game. Their attack was simple and straightforward, but absolutely was violent and bloody. The heart of Liu Hong skipped a beat as she got nervous. Chapter 230: Shocking at every step Chapter 230: Shocking at every step After Mist Bamboo inside the stone coffin was taken away, the ancient altar lost its luster, then trembled. Moreover, the runes engraved on it also disappeared little by little. Next, the entire auxiliary palace slowly trembled. Originally, since Murong Zhuifeng had left them in dust, all experts had given up the pursuit and had understood that they had no hope to obtain that treasure. But, seeing Ye Chuan blocking the path of Murong Zhuifeng¡¯s group all of a sudden, their hope involuntarily reignited, and they rushed over one after another with flourishing killing intent. However, seeing the dense mist as well as indistinct figures of a crowd of yao beasts in the midst of soaring flames and dense mist, all of them stopped in succession. Even Murong Zhuifeng was trapped there, who would dare to rush in? The gaze of Feng Ren glimmered. Tuoba Xiong was shocked and was greatly taken aback. Who would have thought that Murong Zhuifeng who was holding Heavenly Blade was unexpectedly blocked by unassuming Ye Chuan! This kid had truly endured and kept himself hidden. Now, he was attacking with all his strength! All the experts were shocked and they re-evaluated the strength of Ye Chuan. At this moment, everyone understood that the previous appearance of Ye Chuan had deceived them. A sad and shrill scream came from inside the dense mist. Under the attack of 12 human faced snakes, a beautiful bodyguard under the leadership of Murong Zhuifeng died. These human faced snakes didn¡¯t attack head-on rather made a surprise attack under the cover of this Mist Fire Formation, moreover, all of them concentrated their attack to deal with one target. With the joint attack of these 12 guardians of this paradise realm, even Murong Zhuifeng was having a hard time to hold on his own, how could these bodyguards under him block? ¡°Brat, come out, why are you hiding?¡± Murong Zhuifeng was surprised and also angry. On one hand, he dodged the attacks of fire snakes and on the other hand, he was looking for the trace of Ye Chuan. Unfortunately, he was unable to find even the trace of Ye Chuan as if he had suddenly disappeared into the air. Under rage, he gritted his teeth and rushed over towards numerous human faced snakes. Although he couldn¡¯t see with his eyes, he wanted to kill them relying on his spirit power. But, every time he got close to human faced snakes, all 12 human faced snakes would quickly retreat, disappearing in the midst of dense mist. Like that, all the attack of Murong Zhuifeng would miss. Originally, this Mist Fire Formation was only 100 meters in radius, but it slowly spread to 1 kilometer in radius. After the repeated attacks, Murong Zhuifeng not only missed all his attacks, he unknowingly was lost in the midst of dense mist. Now, he didn¡¯t even know the direction of the doorway of this auxiliary palace. Moreover, the screams of his subordinates slowly made him panic, and a strong sense of danger and fear rose in his heart. What was even more terrifying was, with the passage of time, the effect of Yuanyang Pill gradually decreased. Now, he was unable to break out of an encirclement and wasting time was even more dangerous. Murong Zhuifeng suddenly stopped his steps and his complexion was tense, knowing he couldn¡¯t waste time by blindly attacking like this. Moreover, he vaguely saw that, now, only a few bodyguards were alive, so he couldn¡¯t help sighing with resignation. ¡°Noble son Murong, where are you? Wait for me, you must not abandon me, noble son Murong¡­¡­¡± With dense mist all around, Liu Hong also wasn¡¯t able to see anything, and she didn¡¯t know where Murong Zhuifeng was, but her senses were very sharp. She indistinctly heard the sigh of Murong Zhuifeng and reacted very quickly. Murong Zhuifeng didn¡¯t utter a word, just coldly looked towards the direction from where the voice of Liu Hong originated, then he suddenly soared towards the sky. If he couldn¡¯t see where the exit of this auxiliary palace was, then he could simply fly and break open the roof of this auxiliary palace to rush out! Liu Hong and others who were trapped inside the Mist Fire Formation laid out by Ye Chuan felt heavy and had difficulty in moving about. They felt as if they were being weighed down by an invisible mountain, but Murong Zhuifeng was different. Relying on his powerful strength to resist the effect of the formation, he still had surplus strength to break out of this encirclement without any problem, merely, he had to show consideration for those beautiful bodyguards under him. As for Liu Hong, was she important? For Murong Zhuifeng, lovely and charming Liu Hong who took the initiative to stick close to him was somewhat new, but she was still far from the point where he would risk his life to save her. ¡°Noble son Murong, wait for me, no, help me, noble son Murong, you cannot abandon me, ah, noble son Murong¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong screamed. Now, she was nervous like never before. Indistinctly seeing the soaring figure of Murong Zhuifeng, she immediately understood what was going on. Then following the suit, she wielded her flying sword wanting to break out of this trap like Murong Zhuifeng. But, her light and graceful body was heavy now, as a result, after stepping on the flying sword, her flying sword swayed, then colliding head-on with fire wave, she was knocked down to the ground. Even though she wanted to imitate Murong Zhuifeng to break out of this trap, she didn¡¯t have that kind of capability. The few surviving beautiful bodyguards also became restless. They knew that Murong Zhuifeng had abandoned them, so each and every one of them screamed, hoping Murong Zhuifeng would return to save them. Unfortunately, they were disappointed, Murong Zhuifeng didn¡¯t even turn his head, he just soared and ferociously slammed again the roof of this auxiliary palace. ¡°Ye Chuan, the humiliation of today, I, Murong Zhuifeng, will definitely repay you double in the future. After I return to the capital, I will lead 8,000 disciples of Murong Clan to massacre your Cloud Mist Sect, even fowls and dogs will not be spared!¡± The cold voice of Murong Zhuifeng resounded. Now, he held sharp Heavenly Blade in one hand and held Mist Bamboo sprout in the other hand. This battle, he lost, he failed completely before Ye Chuan made a move in person. This kind of crushing defeat, he had suffered for the first time in his life, becoming a galling shape and deep humiliation for all his life. In a triumphant manner, he led 12 beautiful bodyguards to come here, but in the end, he had suffered a crushing defeat and had to run away alone. Moreover, he didn¡¯t lose in the hands of a Daoist Master realm expert, rather lost in the hands of a trifling Rank 5 Xiushi ream Ye Chuan. If this wasn¡¯t galling shame and deep humiliation, then what was it? ¡°Heh heh, you want to massacre my Cloud Mist Sect, but do you have that kind of opportunity?¡± Ye Chuan who had disappeared without a trace suddenly appeared, then jumping up, he grabbed the right leg of Murong Zhuifeng and pulled him down. Now, Murong Zhuifeng who was about to break out of the trap fell downwards, again entering the Mist Fire Formation. ¡°Brat, go to hell!¡± Murong Zhuifeng was shocked and also angry. He immediately slashed his blade towards Ye Chuan. Now, Ye Chuan had two choices, either release his hand or lose his hand! Unexpectedly, Ye Chuan released his hand, but he didn¡¯t seem to be regretting, rather a cold smile appeared on his face. Murong Zhuifeng suddenly felt this situation was anything but reassuring and he was too late to detect the danger. He suddenly felt severe pain from his neck, followed by a golden light flashing before his eyes. A Six Winged Golden Cicada had suddenly come out of nowhere. The Six Winged Golden Cicada that had been hiding in the collar of Murong Zhuifeng finally receive the order to attack. First, it tore off a large piece of Murong Zhuifeng¡¯s neck flesh, followed by it appeared in front of Murong Zhuifeng flapping its wings, then using its blade-like wings, it wanted to cut open his throat, cutting off his head. But at the crucial moment, Murong Zhuifeng reacted quickly. In the blink of an eye, he dodged a deadly attack of Six Winged Golden Cicada. Moreover, not only he didn¡¯t continue to fall, he instead accelerated upward, wanting to break open the roof and rush out. But, at the moment, when his scalp hit the roof, he suddenly saw a pair of evil and sinister big eyes. A chubby puppet doll, don¡¯t know when, was hanging from the roof beam waiting for a long time. Its smiling face was cute, but at this very moment, it appeared very strange. Above the roof, how could there be a puppet doll? Murong Zhuifeng was confused in his heart, but the fine hairs on his body suddenly stood on their ends. Chapter 231: Zhuifeng becomes a reminiscence Chapter 231: Zhuifeng becomes a reminiscence The reaction of Murong Zhuifeng was very fast after sensing this situation was far from good, but, this time, he wasn¡¯t so lucky. A blade light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The smiling puppet doll suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from its bosom, then ferociously stabbed towards him. Since they were so close at hand, not to mention the speed of chasing bird (Zhuiniao), even with the speed of chasing wind (Zhuifeng), there was not enough time to dodge. Murong Zhuifeng who was about to break open the roof suddenly gave a blood-curdling scream. At the last moment, he instinctively inclined his head to one side. This caused the sharp dagger that was about to stab his vital part, space between his eyebrows, streak across his face, leaving behind a deep and long scar, nearly cutting his head into two. ¡°Where did this evil spirit come from, I will kill you!¡± Murong Zhuifeng was again surprised and also angry. After that, he screamed and used his Heavenly Blade to ferociously chop down, wanting to cleave this strange puppet doll into two. ¡°Ka ka ka ka¡­¡­¡± The chubby puppet doll that appeared cute unexpectedly let out a sinister laughter, and then suddenly retreated, dodging the Heavenly Blade of Murong Zhuifeng. Murong Zhuifeng gnashed his teeth and was about to chase, but a strong wind suddenly came from behind him. Turning around, he saw a fist of Ye Chuan had already arrived in front of him. ¡°As expected, this is your trick!¡± Murong Zhuifeng flew into a rage. He completely ignored the fist of Ye Chuan and ferociously chopped down with his Heavenly Blade. He only attacked without defending. Since Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation base was only Rank 5 Xiushi realm, how could his punch have any effect on him? At most, he would receive slight injury and feel slight pain. On the contrary, with his ferocious blade slash, he could cut Ye Chuan into two, then again tear his body to thousands of pieces! Murong Zhuifeng was really angry, angry from the bottom of his heart and also hated Ye Chuan to death. For so many years, he had never eaten such a big loss and also had never met such a fierce opponent. No need to speak about blocking the path with a formation, he furthermore had prepared an ambush of Evil Eyed Cow Demons, human faced snakes and so on yao beasts within the formation. He even had prepared an evil spirit to ambush on the roof. He had prepared killing moves at every step that was hard to guard against. This brat is too sinister! Murong Zhuifeng gnashed his teeth and suddenly, he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to break out of this encirclement. He wanted to take advantage of this chance to kill Ye Chuan in reverse. He didn¡¯t fear Ye Chuan¡¯s sneak attack, only feared that he would hide again! Du! A muffled sound resounded. The fist of Ye Chuan hit the chest of Murong Zhuifeng before his Heavenly Blade cut Ye Chuan. The body of Murong Zhuifeng slightly shook and his complexion was still ferocious as if that punch of Ye Chuan was completely ineffective. But, in the next moment, he trembled and crazily vomited blood. Not only was his mouth spewing blood, blood was spurting out from every pore of his entire body. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± A sad and shrill blood-curdling scream resounded. Just with a single punch, Ye Chuan nearly blew off the body of Murong Zhuifeng. 108,000 jin! One Heaven Swallowing Talisman represented the strength of 18,000 jin. And circulating six Heavenly Swallowing Talismans together, the strength of 108,000 jin suddenly exploded. Who could withstand such strength? As the outstanding figure among the younger generation of Murong aristocratic family, the physical body of Murong Zhuifeng was already doughty enough. Unfortunately, Ye Chuan was his opponent, the strength of 108,000 jin was too brutal! ¡°Noble son Murong, this treasure of inside the stone coffin and Heavenly Blade, I kindly accept them!¡± Ye Chuan grinned. As for Murong Zhuifeng, he only saw a shadow flashing before his eyes. Now, Mist Bamboo sprout and Heavenly Blade were in the hands of Ye Chuan. After that, Ye Chuan ferociously slashed down with Heavenly Blade, wanting to use the Heavenly Blade of Murong Zhuifeng to end his life. ¡°Brat, you¡­ do you dare to kill me?¡± Murong Zhuifeng screamed with great alarm and stretched out his hand to grab the roof beam, wanting to dodge. Buzz! The ice-cold blade light of sharp Heavenly Blade streak across the sky. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t answer, just chopped down coldly. Now, Murong Zhuifeng was so scared that he nearly pissed his pants as he urgently tried to retreat. But, he felt pain from his legs. Ye Chuan had cut off his legs at the base. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Murong Zhuifeng, who considered himself the best in the world and everyone else beneath his notice in former days, gave a blood-curdling scream once again as he fell down from the sky. For many years in the past, he was running wild in the capital where there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons. All those who had lower cultivation base were of no match of him, and as for those whose cultivation base was higher, they didn¡¯t dare to attack him as he had Murong aristocratic family behind him. But beyond his expectation, this time, he met Ye Chuan, this ruthless fellow. He showed no quarter when attacking. Ye Chuan put away Mist Bamboo sprout inside Cyan Lotus Space and just when he was about to jump down from the roof beam to surely kill severely injured Murong Zhuifeng, the auxiliary hall suddenly shook violently and along with cracking sound, cracks appeared on the roof, walls and the ground. The altar at the end of the hall rapidly sunk into the ground and a dense grey mist sprang out from the depth of the ground. People who couldn¡¯t dodge in time, regardless of Xiushi realm ordinary adventurers or Daoist Master realm experts, all wailed mournfully in unison as they changed into skeletons in a blink of an eye.Furthermore, this mist became denser and denser. Compared to the poisonous mist that shrouded the stone coffin, this mist was even more poisonous. ¡°This mist is poisonous, run quickly!¡± ¡°The palace is going to collapse, quickly run!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Everyone inside the axillary hall screamed as they dispersed in confusion, rushing towards the doorway blocked by the Mist Fire Formation of Ye Chuan. Some flew towards the roof and some even gritted their teeth and directly break open the wall. Everyone who was a bit slower was immediately shrouded by this poisonous mist, then become a skeleton along with a scream. Many of those skeletons didn¡¯t collapse and still maintained the running posture, moreover, they were stretching their hand as if they were calling for help or trying to catch something. The scalp of Ye Chuan tingled. He couldn¡¯t attend to chase severely wounded Murong Zhuifeng to kill. He put away Heaven Burning Furnace, human faced snakes, puppet doll and numerous evil eyed cow demons into the Cyan Lotus Space, then flew away. Just after he flew away, that terrifying poisonous mist spread all over the hall. Now, inside the broad palace, all experts were running like wild in disorder. Everyone displayed their remarkable techniques to escape from this place. And behind them, there was poisonous mist. All the living things that were shrouded by this poisonous mist instantly turned into a skeleton. Outside the palace, Zhu Sijia and fatty who had left in advance were waiting for Ye Chuan. Hearing wild shrieks and howls coming from inside the palace, they didn¡¯t know what had happened inside the palace, but they were anxious and dying to leave this place. ¡°Jiajia, fatty, run!¡± The voice of Ye Chuan suddenly resounded in the ears of these two people. Seeing Ye Chuan was safe and sound, both of then finally relaxed, but at the next moment, their heart suddenly tightened. A loose cultivator that was just behind Ye Chuan suddenly issued an inhumane wail. A large amount of grey mist shrouded him and he instantly changed into a skeleton. He was only half-a-step slower than Ye Chuan, but now he will never see the world outside again. Zhu Sijia and fatty were scared out of their wits. But, in the next moment, under the warning of Ye Chuan, they woke up. Then, they immediately turned around without any hesitation and ran. Ye Chuan also speeded up. Behind him, a terrifying poisonous mist was surging like a flood with the momentum of swallowing everything. Tuoba Xiong and Feng Ren were also desperately running like mad. Now, not even one-tenth of people survived. But no one noticed that Liu Hong was also among the survivors. She didn¡¯t die in the auxiliary palace. Not only this woman didn¡¯t die, she still held a shadow in her hand. She was madly rushing forward stepping on her flying sword. If someone turned their head, then they could notice that that wasn¡¯t some shadow, but rather the half body of Murong Zhuifeng. ¡°Kill, kill him, kill him¡­¡­¡± Murong Zhuifeng had a blank expression and he was continuously mumbling to himself as if he had gone mad or become an idiot. He was unable to accept this fact for the time being. Although he was still alive, he was obviously a waste now. His both legs were gone. Hereafter, he didn¡¯t need to think about chasing the wind, that only become his reminisce! Chapter 232: Demonic Dragon Path Chapter 232: Demonic Dragon Path Inside the paradise realm, a shocking scene appeared. All experts were fleeing for their life. Each and every one was ghastly pale and were gasping for breath. Behind them, there was a poisonous mist. Anyone that was just a little slower or had the slightest slip, such as staggering on the smooth slabstone, they would be instantly submerged by poisonous mist, changing into skeletons. Many people stepped on their flying sword to flee for their life. As for those who were slower, they lost their lives. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have a flying sword, as a result, he was running wildly on foot. Even while carrying one person on the left and another person on his right, he was still running as if on wings towards the stone forest edge. He was calm and his steps were steady as he ran. But, Zhu Sijia and fatty Zhao Dazhi were repeatedly crying in fear. ¡°Quick, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, quick!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, leave us here and run by yourself!¡± Fatty and Zhu Sijia became ghastly pale. They had never seen such a terrifying dense mist. Looking back, they saw terrifying poisonous mist had blotted out the sky and was rolling with earth-shaking momentum as if a sandstorm. Moreover, sad and shrill screams fell incessantly on their ears as people would die time and time again. As long as their movement was even a bit slower, even a Daoist Master realm expert would meet his doom. Taking out Mist Bamboo sprout from inside the stone coffin had already affected the restriction of Chaotian Palace. The instant Ye Chuan put the Mist Bamboo sprout inside Cyan Lamp Space, the ancient defense restriction thoroughly displayed its terrifying might. This poisonous mist that covered the sky and earth was the best defense. The might of this restriction clearly states that the person that laid out this restriction wanted to kill all the intruders. He didn¡¯t want anyone to take out this Mist Bamboo sprout. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t utter a word. He used all his strength on his legs, and with an indistinct white light circulating around his body, his single step covered more than ten meters. The energy coming from that drop of Demonic Dragon Blood made his legs appear as strong as iron, moreover, he felt as if he possessed an inexhaustible amount of energy. Although his cultivation realm wasn¡¯t high, his physical body however was so doughty that even Daoist Master realm experts would drool with envy. Ye Chuan was calm and composed. Even when poisonous mist arrived just one step behind him, he wasn¡¯t flustered, but, after rushing behind a small hill, his heart suddenly sunk. Behind this hill, there was a crowd of youths rushing forward. All of them spare no effort, but their speed wasn¡¯t sufficiently fast. It wouldn¡¯t take a long time before the poisonous mist catches up to them. This crowd of youths had men and women, and all of them were wearing the common war robe of Cloud Mist Sect. They precisely were those crowds of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples that had stayed behind outside the auxiliary palace. For such a long time, they didn¡¯t find the exit of this paradise realm, moreover, also hadn¡¯t run far away. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, it¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, save me, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ The crowds of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciple screamed. Seeing the figure of Ye Chuan, they felt as if a drowning person that grabbed a life-saving straw. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak, his heart was heavy and sadness appeared on his face. The poisonous mist behind was rolling. Just taking along Zhu Sijia and fatty was already his limit. With his current means, he was unable to save these fellow disciples in front of his eyes. If this was his previous lifetime when he was still at his peak, then he could have used some powerful techniques to try and save them, but, with his current Rank 5 Xiushi realm cultivation, he could only sigh helplessly. Ye Chuan accelerated, and caught up to numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. Seeing this the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were excited and saw the hope of escaping alive. Merely, Ye Chuan secretly sighed in his heart. That terrifying poisonous mist was already less than 3 meters behind him. Even if he had very powerful technique, he also couldn¡¯t save so many people. Can Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets be used on them just like taming yao beasts and put them into Cyan Lotus Space? Ye Chuan suddenly had a thought. He thought of a daring way, and he didn¡¯t time much time to think. But, at that time, a loud explosion sound came from behind, then the poisonous mist that was about to submerge the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect suddenly stopped. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, look!¡± A Cloud Mist Sect disciple screamed as he pointed far into the distance. Everyone turned around and looked. Ye Chuan was also the same. Far away, at the place shrouded by the poisonous mist, majestic auxiliary palace, Chaotian Palace collapsed, revealing a gate dazzling in golden light. Above the gate, three large words ¡®Demonic Dragon Path¡¯ were carved. Behind this gate, there was a dazzling golden passage with numerous standing tall golden statues. At the end of this golden passage, one could vaguely see even more majestic palace. There was a layer upon layer of palaces stranding tall at the horizon. That place was the real forbidden ground of this paradise realm. And at the places where the golden light was dispersing, that frightening poisonous mist dissipated in succession, and a narrow golden path appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. ¡°We pay respect to Big Senior Apprentice-Brother!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother is mighty!¡± Numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect knelt down and were excited endlessly. They felt as if they returned alive from the gates of hell. Ye Chuan clearly did nothing, but as soon as he appeared, that terrifying poisonous mist stopped, making people misunderstand the situation. ¡°Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, Demonic Dragon Path¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan was also excited. He muttered to himself as he looked at that distant golden passage. That place would lead to the inheritance location of this paradise realm. Without cooperating to break the restriction of Ghost King Chessboard, perhaps they would have encountered chessboards one after another until they collapsed and sunk into the chessboard world; without breaking the restriction of stone coffin and taking out the Mist Bamboo sprout, auxiliary palace, Chaotian Palace wouldn¡¯t have collapsed and this Demonic Dragon Path wouldn¡¯t have appeared. If one had bad luck, then he would have already engulfed by the poisonous mist, but with good luck, they persisted on, finally discovering the real paradise realm. Ye Chuan suddenly realized in his mind. Without a doubt, the master of paradise realm was definitely a heaven-defying expert. His means were exceedingly high and his plans were also something that an ordinary person couldn¡¯t reckon. His every means was linked with another. Want to break into this paradise realm to obtain his inheritance, let alone ordinary person, even a Sage realm expert, if unlucky, then he might meet his doom here, even if not changed into a ghastly skeleton, he would be scared out of his wits. Master stroke! Only a heaven-defying expert that came from the world beyond the highest heaven had this kind of means! The heart of Ye Chuan shook. He immediately put down Zhu Sijia and fatty, then ran towards Demonic Dragon Path as he said: ¡°Jiajia, you all, go and look for the exit. If you have the opportunity to leave this paradise realm then leave and return to Cloud Mist Sect. After seven days, if I didn¡¯t return, then report the Second Elder and make him select new Big Disciple of the sect!¡± Ye Chuan resolutely rushed towards Demonic Dragon Path. The bigger the scale of this paradise realm, the more dangerous it was and the more that evoked his interest. In his previous lifetime, he wasn¡¯t Heaven Concealing Great Sage from the beginning, he had experienced unknown numbers of hardships, twists and turns. In this lifetime, if he wanted to step on the higher pinnacle, then it was clear that he must brave through dangers and experience even greater hardships. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia chased a few steps, then she suddenly stopped, and she resisted the urge to follow Ye Chuan. On both sides, the poisonous mist was seething, and on the narrow path in the middle, Ye Chuan rushed forward in the midst of dazzling golden light. This figure of Ye Chuan deeply engraved in the mind of Zhu Sijia. After stopping, she no longer chased after Ye Chuan, but tears flowed down her cheeks. This parting with Ye Chuan might be their final farewell! At this moment, there were still many helpless fellow disciples around her, and she needs to look after them, so she continuously told herself that she needs to be strong, but her tears flowed down beyond her control. Chapter 233: Demonic Dragon’s descendant Chapter 233: Demonic Dragon¡¯s descendant Taking advantage of his doughty body, Ye Chuan boldly set foot on the narrow path surrounded by poisonous mist, quickly reaching the entrance of Demonic Dragon Path. Looking from the distance, this gate appeared to be glittering due to being forged from gold, but closely looking from near, one could see many light specks and it wasn¡¯t forged with gold. Touching it, Ye Chuan felt a soft and warm feeling, seemingly, a body of a yao beast. Moreover, it appeared as if the entrance was a mouth of a huge monster where if one walks in then he would never come out again. Looking up, due to the dazzling golden light, only a rough picture of a huge golden statue could be seen. The detailed circumstance inside couldn¡¯t be seen. There seemed to be a dense mist inside the gate, and even divine sense couldn¡¯t penetrate through it. ¡°Eh, it¡¯s not a huge demonic dragon that is lying underfoot, right? So-called Demonic Dragon Path isn¡¯t the mouth and the throat of the demonic dragon, right?¡± Ye Chuan stretched his hand and pressing the door frame, he lightly felt about with his fingertip. He suddenly had such absurd thought and shook his head. He seemed to be overly suspicious. Those people that left behind these paradise realms were definitely an ancient power with heaven defying means. But, to say this Demonic Dragon Path was the mouth of some yao beast, that was something hard to believe. At the very least, when he was at the peak at his previous lifetime, Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t have such remarkable ability. There were many lines carved on the door frames. At first glance, they appeared like decorative patterns, but when looked closer, they resembled obscure runes or ancient secret laws. Ye Chuan found this strange. He wasn¡¯t in a hurry to rush inside Demonic Dragon Path. He instead carefully studied this gate dazzling with golden light, moreover, memorized every pattern on it. Footsteps came from behind him and when Ye Chuan looked, he saw a familiar figure. Tuoba Xiong unexpectedly didn¡¯t die. He had few holes on his sleeves and had a somewhat sorry figure, but carrying a heavy cauldron, he walked over with large strides. Behind him, seven elite disciples of Black Cauldron Sect followed him. As for Tuoba Xiaoniao, she wasn¡¯t here. ¡°Humph!¡± Tuoba Xiong snorted and his complexion sunk seeing Ye Chuan, but he didn¡¯t attack. Don¡¯t know whether he had misgivings as he had re-examined the strength of Ye Chuan, or to save his strength for this Demonic Dragon Path, Tuoba Xiong along with seven elite disciples of Black Cauldron Sect just walked past Ye Chuan. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, please stop.¡± The instant Tuoba Xiong brushed past him, half squatting Ye Chuan who was studying the patterns suddenly stood up and said, ¡°What about Xiaoniao? Your Excellency Sect Master, Xiaoniao, she¡­¡­¡± Not seeing the figure of Tuoba Xiaoniao, Ye Chuan suddenly became restless. At the auxiliary palace, when he was about the kill Murong Zhuifeng, that terrifying poisonous mist had spread too quickly, and he basically didn¡¯t have any time to think about other before running like wild choosing a path. At that time, thinking about weak and delicate Tuoba Xiaoniao who was also inside the auxiliary palace, his heart was perturbed, feeling remorseful and uneasy. But, at that time, he could only place hope on Tuoba Xiong and now was hoping to hear the good news. When all was said and done, even a tiger doesn¡¯t eat its own cub, even though Tuoba Xiong was rude and unreasonable, he after all was the father of Tuoba Xiaoniao, it was impossible to not try to save her. ¡°Humph, brat, stay away from my daughter in the future!¡± Tuoba Xiong coldly looked at Ye Chuan, then entering the gate, he led seven elites into the Demonic Dragon Path. The eyes of Ye Chuan shone and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Tuoba Xiong was still grumpy and overbearing but his that sentence was enough. It shows that Tuoba Xiaoniao didn¡¯t die, just like Zhu Sijia and others, she was left outside so as to not take any risks. As long as the person was fine, what to do in the future, that wasn¡¯t something Tuoba Xiong had the final say. Tuoba Xiong could not allow him to enter Black Cauldron Sect to see Tuoba Xiaoniao, but could he closely follow Tuoba Xiaoniao forever and not allow her to leave at all? Looking at the back view of Tuoba Xiong, Ye Chuan smiled wickedly. ¡°Brat, you are still alive?¡± A cold and sinister voice came from behind. Ye Chuan turned around and saw another familiar figure a bit far away. He was none other than Feng Ren of Five Style Sect. At this moment, his eyes were glimmering with ominous glint and he appeared unscathed. But, compared to Tuoba Xiong, he was far worse, moreover, he didn¡¯t have former arrogance and vigor. Although Tuoba Xiong had a sorry figure, in any case, he had seven elite disciples following him, but Feng Ren was alone here. In that disaster of poisonous mist, he might have fled by himself leaving behind that crowd of Five Style Sect¡¯s disciples, or all the surviving disciples of Five Style Sect might have stayed behind outside. But, according to the nature of this fellow, the former was more likely to have happened. If there truly was any surviving disciple of Five Style Sect, then this old fellow, Feng Ren had no reason to not bring them here. Even if they couldn¡¯t help, he could at least use them as a shield at a crucial moment. ¡°Heh heh, I¡¯m fine. Old man, sorry to disappoint you, but, I am also very disappointed, you old bastard unexpectedly didn¡¯t die, what a bummer!¡± Ye Chuan coldly counterattacked. ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­¡± The complexion of Feng Ren was cold and was about to make a move, but after thinking over, he still didn¡¯t dare to act recklessly. The scene of Ye Chuan utterly defeating Murong Zhuifeng, he had seen with his own eyes. The cultivation of Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t high, only Rank 5 Xiushi, and Feng Ren was confident to crush any other people with such trifling cultivation to death with his finger, but he wasn¡¯t confident about killing Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan clearly had hidden his true strength. Even unstoppable Murong Zhuifeng had eaten a big loss at that time, so Feng Ren naturally didn¡¯t dare to act recklessly. The current Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t Ye Chuan of before. ¡°Brat, if you don¡¯t have the capability, then roll out as early as possible. If you are not afraid of death, then come in, this lordship will wait for you inside this Demonic Dragon Path!¡± Feng Ren took a glance at three large words ¡®Demonic Dragon Path¡¯ above the gate and entered the gate as his voice came from far away. ¡°Old bastard, I will enter, you¡¯d better be careful, don¡¯t die too quickly!¡± Ye Chuan sneered and continued to study the patterns of the door frame. Now, in Heavenly Fire Continent, there were only a few people that knew what the words ¡®Demonic Dragon¡¯ represents. As for Tuoba Xiong and Feng Ren, they simply didn¡¯t know what the words ¡®Demonic Dragon¡¯ implied. Entering forthright like this, it¡¯s very likely that they wouldn¡¯t obtain the inheritance of this paradise realm, rather will activate even more terrifying restriction compared to that poisonous mist! Ye Chuan calmed down and wasn¡¯t overanxious for the quick result. He carefully looked at every strange aspect of these carvings and studied the details that ordinary people might have ignored. In his previous lifetime, he had entered many ominous domains and escaped unscathed. It was not only because of his strength but also because of his patience. If one didn¡¯t have patience, then sooner or later, they would fail. Cultivation didn¡¯t train the state of mind, and unable to reach the pinnacle of cultivation, one is doomed to be unable to live for long. Ye Chuan discarded all his distracting thoughts and closed his eyes. He used his fingertips to feel the patterns on the door frame and used his spirit to slowly feel its profound mystery. Each and every surviving experts hurriedly brushed past him. They were alert and didn¡¯t dare to speak with Ye Chuan whose true strength was hidden. But they were even more unable to restrain their excitement. They perfectly knew that it was very dangerous in the front, but they hastily entered, for fear that they would fall behind others. On the contrary, one old and one small loose cultivators, after arriving the entrance of Demonic Dragon Path, they didn¡¯t urgently enter, they stood still behind Ye Chuan for a long time as if they were waiting for something. The aged old man was already very old. His entire face was wrinkled and his white beard reached to his abdomen. As for the small one, he was roughly about seven or eight in age. He appeared perturbed and restless continuously pulling the hand of this old man, moreover, he looked immature and shy. The two people didn¡¯t seem to be cultivators, and also no one knew how they survived that terrifying poisonous mist. But, from them, Ye Chuan vaguely sensed a strange aura, which was indistinctly similar to the aura of that little demonic dragon. Chapter 234: Quaint and attractive Skeleton Chapter 234: Quaint and attractive Skeleton Ye Chuan opened his eyes and somewhat curiously, he turned around and carefully sized up this one old and one young. The little boy was restless and was even shyer, tightly holding the hand of this old man. As for this old man, he was very calm and calmly faced the curious gaze of Ye Chuan. He still had a smile on his face and looked very kind. Both of them were very thin and pallid and appeared travel-worn, seemingly, they had traveled a long way, scaling mountains and ford streams. ¡°You seemed to have arrived here with great difficulty, grandpa, aren¡¯t you going in?¡± Ye Chuan asked secretly guessing the identity of this old and young. The young boy was still very young. He appeared as if he had just stepped into the path of cultivation, and Ye Chuan guessed that he was only Rank 1 Wuzhe. As for the old man, he was very old. His age could no longer be determined. He seemed to have already lived for 700 or 800 years, but his cultivation appeared not up to much, at most Rank 1 Daoist Master realm. Ye Chuan had a hard time understanding why they came here. Myriad Beast Forest, Ghost King Chessboard, auxiliary palace Choatian Palace, and that poisonous mist, which one of them wasn¡¯t terrifying? But, these two, how come they arrived here? ¡°Noble son, you are also not going in.¡± The old man smiled. Even a little bit of hostility and killing intent couldn¡¯t be felt from him, moreover, he appeared very kind as if a next door grandpa who thoroughly understood life. His voice was feeble as if he was already tired arriving here. He appeared as if he was too old and couldn¡¯t walk anymore. Ye Chuan smiled and stood up. Now, he was all the more curious about the identity of these one old and one young. Without exception, all the disciples of sects and loose cultivators that entered this paradise realm were vigilant and indifferent to each other. Rarely someone was like this old fellow. ¡°Grandpa, are you waiting for someone?¡± ¡°Yes, we are waiting for someone.¡± The old man replied. ¡°Who?¡± Ye Chuan looked all around and only saw seething deadly poisonous mists and a narrow path leading to the distant place. But, all the people that should come had already come, and he didn¡¯t see anyone coming over. Moreover, according to the time passed, Zhu Sijia and others that were left outside should have already left. ¡°Waiting for you.¡± The old man answered. ¡°What? Waiting for me?¡± Ye Chuan was surprised. ¡°Yes, waiting for you.¡± The voice of this old man became even feeble and his dim eyes looked at Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Noble son, can I request you a matter?¡± ¡°Speak.¡± Ye Chuan neither agreed not refused. ¡°Help me bring Little Long¡¯er to Demonic Dragon Hall at the end of this paradise realm.¡± The old man came straight to the point without beating around the bush, moreover, he looked at Ye Chuan without blinking his eyes with earnest hope and expectation. ¡°Why did you find me?¡± Ye Chuan paused and continued, ¡°Among many experts that entered this paradise realm, there are many people that have higher cultivation realm than me, for instance, Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong, Five Style Sect¡¯s Elder Feng Ren and other many experts. Grandpa, I am just an ordinary person who can¡¯t even guarantee my life, why didn¡¯t you look for them?¡± ¡°Because you are different from others. Cultivation realm is one aspect, but moral character and talent are even more important. Furthermore, the cultivation realm doesn¡¯t represent everything. Even noble son Zhuifeng of Murong aristocratic family who considered himself the best in the world, wasn¡¯t he utterly defeated in noble son¡¯s hands?¡± The old man said in a feeble voice. He appeared to be too tired, but when talking, his dim eyes shone. From Chaotian Palace, he had secretly watched each and every move of Ye Chuan and had come prepared. ¡°My moral character is also not particularly good, they all said I am very bad, and I am a bad person. Moreover, there are many people hoping for me to die early.¡± Ye Chuan said with a smile without answering the request of this old man. This paradise realm had deadly dangers in every step, and he didn¡¯t know what kind of dangers was inside this Demonic Dragon Path. Therefore, he didn¡¯t dare to bring Zhu Sijia and fatty as he couldn¡¯t guarantee their safety. And bringing along a seven or eight-year-old child with him, he even more didn¡¯t dare to guarantee his safety. ¡°Usually, people who say that they are bad people will not be able to be worse anymore. But, those people who say they are good people and make people feel they have good moral character everywhere, they often are even terrifying than devils.¡± The old man was too experienced. He casually spoke the philosophy of the life. Then looking straight at the eyes of Ye Chuan, he said, ¡°Youngster, Little Long¡¯er is very obedient. He has never gotten into trouble. He is very obedient and heeds what elder says. Promise me, take along Little Long¡¯er and help us, can you?¡± ¡°Grandfather¡­¡­¡± The little boy shrunk, hiding behind the old man. He was somewhat shy and somewhat restless, moreover, as if he sensed something, hiding behind this old man, he stealthily looked at Ye Chuan. And just like a frightened helpless lamb, he tightly held the hand of the old man. Ye Chuan became silent and all of a sudden, he didn¡¯t know what to say. Taking along this little boy into this Demonic Dragon Path was impossible. No need to mention about how he couldn¡¯t guarantee his safety, this little boy could also become a burden for him. But looking at this helpless old man and little body, and facing their sincere, hopeful and helpless gaze, how could he refuse? The old man also didn¡¯t speak and quietly waited for the answer of Ye Chuan. After thinking over for a long time, Ye Chuan sighed. He was willing to help but was unable to do so, thus he replied, ¡°Grandpa, I am very sorry, it¡¯s too dangerous inside this paradise realm. Not mentioning anything else, just a bit of this poisonous mist around can kill this little boy. My cultivation is very limited so I am truly unable to take him along with me. Even for myself, entering this Demonic Dragon Path bode ill rather than well. If you two don¡¯t have anywhere to go, then after leaving this paradise realm, go to nearby Cloud Mist Sect and look for a girl name Zhu Sijia, then tell her that I asked you to go there, she will make appropriate arrangements.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t want to go to other places, only want to go to the ends of this paradise realm.¡± The old man refused the good intention of Ye Chuan and breathing heavily, he said, ¡°Youngster, you don¡¯t need to worry about the restriction of paradise realm. All restrictions of this place will not harm Little Long¡¯er. Even this deadly poisonous mist will not harm even a single hair of Little Long¡¯er. We are not afraid of restriction, we are afraid of people. Little Long¡¯er, held out your hand and let noble son see.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The little boy obediently nodded his head and he suddenly stretched his hand into the deadly poisonous mist. Seeing this, the eyelids of Ye Chuan jumped up and even though he wanted to stop, it was already too late. But in the next moment, he was dumbstruck. The deadly poisonous mist seethed. In the midst of this terrifying poisonous mist that would change all living things into a skeleton, the hand of this little boy was unscathed. This poisonous mist that could instantly turn a Daoist Master realm expert into skeleton had no effect on this little boy! So, this was the case, no wonder this old man and little boy came here! No, not, this old man said that all the restriction of this paradise realm will not harm this little boy, what was going on here and what did this imply? Ye Chuan came back to his senses and quickly fell into new confusions. He vaguely felt that this old man and little boy weren¡¯t so simple. Moreover, they would have a crucial effect on his next journey inside this paradise realm. Ye Chuan no longer studied the patterns of the door frame. After studying for a long time, he was unable to see any profound mystery, instead, he carefully sized up this old man and little kid. The simple old man and good-looking little boy, they were quite peculiar. Upon closer look, one could discover that the appearance of this little boy was somewhat different than that of ordinary people. His temple was plump, forehead was protruding, head was very big and his eyes were clear without any darkness and evil just like a pure blank sheet of paper. The more Ye Chuan looked, the more he became spellbound. Now, he was even more curious about the identity of this old man and little youth. Chapter 235: Light of life Chapter 235: Light of life ¡°Noble son Ye, you see, Little Long¡¯er is very obedient, and he is also healthy, moreover, all the restriction of this paradise realm will not harm him, so can you please help me bring him to the Demonic Dragon Hall at the end of this paradise realm? Noble son Ye, noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± The old man said in a low voice. His feeble voice was getting smaller and smaller, furthermore, his complexion became pale without any trace of blood. Ye Chuan came back to his senses and waved his hand towards that little boy. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, go, let noble son Ye take a good look at you.¡± The old man pushed the timid little boy to the front of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan held the right hand of this little boy and observed carefully. The skin of this little boy was very white. His head was very big but his body was smaller compared to the person of the same age. His body appeared somewhat weak and his arms also didn¡¯t have much flesh. But, to his disbelief, his such little hand was unexpectedly unscathed in the midst of that seething poisonous mist as if he innately had resistance against the corrosion of that poisonous mist. Was this because of the physique of this little boy or something else? If he brought this little boy back to Cloud Mist Sect, then wouldn¡¯t this boy be able to help him in the exploration of Evil Dragon Abyss which was filled with poisonous mist, and find the secrets of the Evil Dragon Abyss? Ye Chuan suddenly had such thoughts as he carefully observed this little boy. After breaking through to Rank 5 Xiushi realm and condensing Demonic Dragon Talisman, his body had transformed and had become unknown times doughtier compared to the people in the same realm, but that was still not enough to freely move inside the Evil Dragon Abyss that was filled with poisonous mist. But, this little boy was different, after a little training, he might obtain unexpected pleasant surprise. Ye Chuan had never forgotten about Nan Tiandu who had jumped into the Evil Dragon Abyss. If he was alive, then he wanted to see him; if he was dead, then he wanted to see his corpse. Evil Dragon Abyss was dangerous, although he had explored once and had unexpectedly tamed old evil spirit Hei Kui that possessed a puppet doll, he didn¡¯t have any confidence to return back alive if he entered Evil Dragon Abyss once again. Last time, if it wasn¡¯t for the assistance of that cyan robed Seventh Elder, then he might have already died in Evil Dragon Abyss. The poisonous mist inside Evil Dragon Abyss was not much weaker than the poisonous around them. With his current cultivation base, it was not an easy task to explore the bottom of the Evil Dragon Abyss, but, it¡¯s different with the help of this little boy. Ye Chuan hesitated. Seeing the potential of this little boy, he truly wanted to take this little boy along with him, but he didn¡¯t know how dangerous it was inside, and also didn¡¯t know if he could protect himself or not, let alone this little boy. ¡°Noble son Ye, what do you think?¡± The old man asked in a low voice and seeing Ye Chuan had uncertainty and misgivings, he added, ¡°Little Long¡¯er is very obedient, moreover, he doesn¡¯t need to fear any restriction of this place, you just need to bring him to the Demonic Dragon Path at the end of this paradise realm. I troubled noble son in our first meeting, this old servant lacked manner. I have nothing to pay, but take this ring as a gift.¡± The old man spoke while slowly taking off a ring from his finger, then stuffed it into the hand of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan wanted to decline, but Demonic Dragon Talisman inside his body suddenly held its head high and opened its mouth as if it wanted to swallow this ring. Moreover, a cordial energy came through this ring which changed into a warm current and flowed into the body of Ye Chuan. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan took the finger ring and carefully observed it. Its shape was unique and simple, but he was unable to tell what material was used to make this ring. Unlike crystal stone or metals, it somewhat appeared as if a bone of yao beast was used to forge it. At first glance, it appeared ordinary and mediocre, but the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. ¡°Little fellow, what is your name?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t answer immediately, rather looking at this little boy standing in front of him, he caressed his head. ¡°Little¡­¡­, Little Long¡¯er.¡± The little boy timidly answered. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, good, this is a good name. Later, when you grow up, what do you want to do? Just like your grandpa, do you want to wander all around, or to say, you want to become a great expert or great hero with indomitable spirit?¡± Ye Chuan asked again. He rather liked this somewhat shy Little Long¡¯er with clear eyes. With the potential and physique of this little boy, if he provided this little boy a heaven grade cultivation technique, then it was not difficult for him to become a great expert. ¡°I¡­¡­, I want to become a bard.¡± The little boy looked at the old man, and looked at Ye Chuan, then answered boldly. ¡°Become a bard?¡± Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t help laughing. Adults truly couldn¡¯t understand the thought process of a child. He didn¡¯t want to become a great expert and also didn¡¯t want to become a great hero, but want to become a bard. Sometimes, the thought of a child could be so simple! The old man didn¡¯t urge, he only looked at Ye Chuan and the little boy with a smile, waiting for the answer of Ye Chuan. After a good while, seeing Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t speakinganymore, he asked again, ¡°Noble son Ye, what do you think, can you take along Little Long¡¯er?¡± ¡°Well, since I cannot ignore you, I will not decline any more. Merely, my cultivation is limited, so there is no way to ensure that I can surely bring Little Long¡¯er to the Demonic Dragon Hall, I can only do my best.¡± Ye Chuan answered. He didn¡¯t refuse anymore. ¡°Good, good, noble son¡¯s these words are sufficient. The planning lies with the man, the outcome with Heaven, if nothing can be done even after noble son did his best, then I can only say that that is the will of the heaven. Let¡¯s go, we are already late.¡± The complexion of the old man become red from pale, as if under happiness, his body had become better. Moreover, recovering his vigor, his voice was no longer feeble. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and holding the hand of the little boy, he walked forward. It had already been a while since Tuoba Xiong, Feng Ren and others had entered, therefore, some dangers inside the gate should be eliminated by them. The little boy was still very shy, but he didn¡¯t retract his hand held by Ye Chuan. However, after walking a few steps, the two people suddenly felt something was wrong. The white beard old man hadn¡¯t followed them. Turning around to look, they saw the old man was standing still with a smile on his face, but his muscles were stiff and pupils were dilated. Ye Chuan rushed over to see. The old man was no longer breathing. ¡°Grandpa, grandpa¡­¡­¡± The little boy also rushed over and hugging this old man, he wailed mournfully. Ye Chuan was dejected and he gently picked up the weeping little boy and said, ¡°Little Long¡¯er, where do you two come from? How long has it been?¡± ¡°The North Sea, we¡­¡­, we came here all the way from the North Sea. It has been 7 years. Grandpa, wuwu, grandpa¡­¡­¡± The little boy choked with sobs and he suddenly clung to Ye Chuan. He appeared as if he was worried that Ye Chuan would also abandon him alone. Since his grandpa left him, he no longer has any relative in this world, and Ye Chuan was the only person he knew. 7 years? Ye Chuan was shocked. Although this white bearded old man died, he was definitely an extraordinary person. Since it had already been 7 years, this meant that shortly after this little boy Little Long¡¯er was born, the old man had set out on a journey, scaling mountains and ford streams and had endured the hardships of a long journey to come over. Dealing with sinister people, confronting yao beasts that ran wild, furthermore, taking care of young Little Long¡¯er, this old man had already exhausted his spirit and vigor, and finally, he could no longer carry on in front of this Demonic Dragon Path. No wonder this old man could no longer walk forward and desperately wanted to entrust Little Long¡¯er to him. This wasn¡¯t as simple as bringing Little Long¡¯er to the ends of this paradise realm, he was entrusting his young son to his care! Ye Chuan sighed in secret. The spirit of this old man had already collapsed, even with an extraordinarily remarkable technique, he couldn¡¯t be saved. Wrong! The cultivation base of this old man was low, but why did he take chances to bring Little Long¡¯er into this paradise realm? Moreover, he set out 7 years ago, how could he know that there was a paradise realm in this place, moreover, he arrived here at the right time? Ye Chuan was puzzled in his heart as he carefully observed this old man. This old man had already left this world with a smile, but his mouth was slightly opened as if he still had thousands and thousands of words he wanted to tell, however, it was already too late to speak. His light of life illuminated this little boy for whom he had spent all his painstaking effort and even his life. What is the meaning of life? Someone wants to surpass himself and break the cage of heaven and earth to step on the pinnacle of cultivation. But, even more people, for inheritance and for next generation, they give their all! Along with the weeping sound of this little boy, he looked at this old man who died calmly, and Ye Chuan was filled with deep veneration. Chapter 236: Demonic Dragon Ring Chapter 236: Demonic Dragon Ring After burying the old man on the spot, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t hurry to enter the Demonic Dragon Path, rather sat cross-legged outside the door, carefully observing the ring left behind by that old man. As for the little boy Little Long¡¯er, he was still young in age. He only recalled the repetitive exhorting of the old man. Whatever happens, he must reach the Demonic Dragon Hall. He didn¡¯t know anything else except that. Looking at the grave of his grandpa, he was sad and was at a loss. And seeing Ye Chuan had sat cross-legged on the ground, he also followed suit and observed the patterns engraved on the door frame. This ring wasn¡¯t big, but it was somewhat heavy beyond expectation. Even after dripping a drop of blood, there was no reaction. He was unable to refine this ring using the conventional method. Ye Chuan studied the ring for a good while and slowly discovered a few mysteries. Flicking on the different places of this ring issued different sounds. Someplace issued clear and crisp sound and someplace issued muffled sound. It seemed there was a layer made up of different material inside the ring. Ye Chuan found this somewhat strange. Generally, rings, arm guards and other things were made using the same material. This kind of circumstance was very rare, unless¡­¡­ Ye Chuan suddenly thought of another possibility. He immediately took out Heaven Burning Furnace and tossed this ring inside it, refining it on the spot. Then using a secret technique, the temperature inside Heaven Burning Furnace gradually rose. Even when the temperature was hot enough to melt the iron, the ring was completely fine; The temperature continued to rise, and finally, when even the air was burning, a change appeared on this ring. A light circulated on the surface of the ring; Ye Chuan added his energy and the temperature inside Heaven Burning Furnace continued to rose, then a layer of liquid appeared on the surface as the surface layer finally melted slowly, displaying its original form. As expected, this ring was covered with a layer of shell. After the outer layer was melted by Heaven Burning Furnace, an ash grey ring appeared before the eyes of Ye Chuan. Rather than saying a ring, it was better to say it was a bone ring. It appeared as if it was forged using the bone of the yao beast. Compared to before, now it was smaller, but after removing the outer layer, he could see a dragon was carved on the ring. This dragon was baring fangs and brandishing claws and had ferocious overgrown bones on its back. Moreover, its scales were lifelike as if it was about to jump out of this ring. Demonic Dragon! This was a Demonic Dragon Ring. The bone of Demonic Dragon was used to forge this ring! The eyes of Ye Chuan shone. Holding this Demonic Dragon Ring, he felt a special aura of Demonic Dragon coming from it which gradually excited him. Ding! A loud and clear sound resounded. This time, essence blood smoothly seeped into his body. He felt a blood that was thicker than water entering his body from his finger. The instant he had worn this ring, he indistinctly heard a dragon roar and a majestic energy seeped into his body, then Demonic Dragon Talisman within his body got excited and soared inside the dantian of Ye Chuan as if a real Demonic Dragon. A dazzling white light circulated outside the body of Ye Chuan. This white light was denser and purer compared to the white light that flooded down from the screen of Ghost King Chessboard. The energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan rose steadily under the illumination of this white light. Late Rank 5 Xiushi, peak Rank 5 Xiushi, Rank 6 Xiushi¡­¡­, the cultivation of Ye Chuan rose rapidly, reaching Rank 7 Xiushi, then the energy fluctuation within his body slowly stabilized. But, now the skin, flesh, blood and even bones and tendons had a layer of white light, changing into a white person. After a good while, he slowly reverted back to normal color, but the blood flowing within his body was shining white like milk. Blood Transformation! White Bones Demonic Dragon! Sensing the changes within his body, Ye Chuan was excited. When the strengthening of body reached the certain level, the physical body would no longer strengthen, rather the blood would transform, this was the sign that the body had begun to transform in all aspects. The blood of little demonic dragon was white and now, after refining the Demonic Dragon Ring, his blood had also transformed into white in color, moreover, he undoubtedly took a big step on the path of cultivation too. Once he thoroughly trained the legendary Demonic Dragon Physique, his physical body would transform completely and he could ignore the overwhelming majority of attacks in Wilderness World! Ye Chuan stood up and walked a few steps forward, then taking a deep breath, he suddenly extended his right hand inside the seething poisonous mist. He immediately felt tingling pain from his fingertips and skin, and a smoke curled up from his right hand as his muscle began to wither slowly. But, even after waiting for a good while, his right arm didn¡¯t suffer any irreparable damage. Just like this innately gifted little boy, he no longer needed to fear the corrosion of this poisonous mist. Of course, there was still a big gap between him and this little boy. If Tuoba Xiong, Feng Ren and others were here, then seeing this scene, they would absolutely be stunned. Even with their Daoist Master realm cultivation base, a bit of this poisonous mist was enough to melt their flesh and blood, turning them into a skeleton. But, Ye Chuan¡¯s physical body was not corroded by that poisonous mist, what did that mean? Ye Chuan held his head high and uttered a long, loud cry in high-spirit. Now, he finally understood why this old man and the little boy came here. He broke through two-levels, reaching Rank 7 Xiushi, this was worthy of celebration, but what made Ye Chuan even more excited was the transformation of his physical body. Stepping into blood transformation level, now he had a tyrannical physical body that was close to Demonic Dragon Clan¡¯s tyrannical physique. Now, he was like a tiger that had grown wings! ¡°Noble son, noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± The little boy timidly stood up and looking at Ye Chuan who held his head high and utter a long, loud cry, he was somewhat disturbed. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, what is your surname?¡± Ye Chuan turned around and withdrew the surging energy fluctuation, returning to the previous state as he asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± The little boy shook his head. ¡°Then from today onwards, like me, you are surnamed Ye, full name Ye Long. Don¡¯t call me noble son something, call me big brother. Rest assured, since I promised your grandpa to take you to the Demonic Dragon Hall, I will definitely accomplish it.¡± Ye Chuan firmly said. ¡°Okay, Ye¡­¡­ Long¡­¡­¡± The little boy muttered to himself with some excitement. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan held the hand of the little boy and dashed forward, boldly stepping on the Demonic Dragon Path dazzling with golden light. After refining Demonic Dragon Ring, he had a strange feeling in his heart as if he had returned to his hometown. The surrounding grasses and trees were clearly unfamiliar and he had never seen them before, but he had an intimate feeling in his heart. The ancient restrictions of this paradise realm, as if opened wide for him, he felt like he could walk freely within those restrictions just like this little boy. For this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, this little boy was definitely crucial! Ye Chuan understood in his heart and he suddenly didn¡¯t wish to urgently fly straight to the Demonic Dragon Hall at the end of this paradise realm. He wanted to see what was inside this place. Suddenly meeting one old and one young made him curious about this paradise realm. He vaguely felt that the little demonic dragon that disappeared after sustaining an injury and this little boy that appeared all of a sudden had a relation, but he didn¡¯t understand what was going on. Could it be that the key to obtaining the inheritance of this paradise realm was with this little boy Ye Long? Chapter 237: Dragon Kingdom Chapter 237: Dragon Kingdom Inside and outside the gate dazzling with golden light was two completely different worlds. Outside the gate, it was a wilderness covered with a poisonous mist, and one couldn¡¯t see the ends of it. Inside the gate, there was a small path constructed with cyan slabstones. On both sides of this small path, the poisonous mist was surging. And in the midst of this poisonous mist, golden statues were standing tall. All of those statues were huge dragons, all kinds of dragons¡¯ statues. There were five clawed golden dragons baring fangs and brandishing claws, winged dragons with a pair of large wings on their back and earth dragons whose half of the huge body was hidden underground. Inside Demonic Dragon Path, it shockingly was the Dragon Kingdom. Moreover, from far away, low sounds of dragon roar came frequently. Those sounds were terrifying and shocking. But for an unknown reason, Ye Chuan and that little boy, Ye Long, were excited. Demonic Dragon Path was blood-stained. Not far away from them, they saw corpses. There were the corpses of the sect disciples and also the corpses of loose cultivators that came from far. Moreover, there were also many scattered remains of dragon statues. Just like the statues of Myriad Beast Forest, all were stone lumps, the only difference was, all of these statues were golden, not like a pure gold, rather like a golden crystal stone, moreover, inside and outside, many ancient and obscure runes were engraved on them. Ye Chuan carefully looked after squatting down, and he discovered that he couldn¡¯t recognize the runes engraved on these golden dragon statues. The script was completely different from the runes of Heavenly Fire Continent. Clearly, it was the thing that came from the world beyond the highest heaven. Every collapsed dragon statue had a fist-sized hole on their head. It seemed some strong treasures were stored inside them. Since he was a step too late, all the things were already taken away. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan held the hand of Little Long¡¯er and accelerated forward. All along the way, he ran into more and more people, but all of them were lying on the ground. The corpses of some people were intact and some corpses had legs or hands missing, but all of them had died and blood was flowing out. Still, most of the people had changed into a meat pulp, so neither identity nor face could be recognized. In the midst of poisonous mist on both sides, he could indistinctly see towering innumerable dragon statues. Each and every one of them appeared as if they wanted to pounce on them. The more Ye Chuan walked forward, the more shocked he became, moreover, his hair stood on end. Compared to Myriad Beast Forest¡¯s statues, the dragon statues on both sides of this Demonic Dragon Path were incomparably ferocious. Each one had a violent atmosphere. If they made a surprise attack, then even a Daoist Master realm expert might not withstand being crushed into a meat pulp or torn into pieces while still alive! ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, I am afraid¡­¡­¡± The little boy shrunk and leaned on Ye Chuan. He appeared very nervous and restless. The towering dragon statues standing in the midst of the poisonous mist looked ferocious, but even more frightening were corpses they saw on the path. Even an expert that had fought a hundred battles would have a nightmare seeing this, much less a seven or eight year old little child. Ye Chuan stroked the head of this little boy and suddenly squatted, ¡°Little Long¡¯er, don¡¯t be afraid, you are the great expert and great hero of the future. Come, let big brother carry you on the back!¡± ¡°M-hm!¡± The little boy climbed onto the back of Ye Chuan and closed his eyes without daring to look again. Ye Chuan kept calm. Carrying the little boy on his back, he walked forward in large strides. Although his speed wasn¡¯t fast, his every step covered exactly the same distance, pressing forward on this dangerous and unfathomable Demonic Dragon Path. Strangely, the dragon statues on both sides of the path didn¡¯t move. It seemed all the active dragon statues were already eradicated by Tuoba Xiong and others who had entered first. But it also appeared as if the dragon statues on the way were indifferent towards them, so they were more scared than hurt throughout the way. After an hour, Ye Chuan and little boy arrived in front of another gate. Compared to the first gate, this gate was bigger and the patterns carved on the door frame were also even more complicated. There was a big mess around this gate. There were many corpses of adventurers and also a pile of scattered remains of the dragon statues on the ground. Ye Chuan put Little Long¡¯er down and looked all around. The head of these dragon statues was empty, the treasures sealed within them were already taken away, so when he was just about to leave, he accidentally discovered that there was an adventurer who had yet to die. Looking at his dress, he should be the disciple of Black Cauldron Sect. ¡°Dragon, true dragon, many many dragons, there are dragons¡­¡­¡± This disciple of Black Cauldron Sect was muttering nonstop. He seemed to have lost himself due to fear. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know what kind of scene he had seen to become like this. Ye Chuan squatted down and observed. The stomach of this Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s disciple was already crushed into meat pulp. He was already at his last breath and couldn¡¯t be saved anymore. Sure enough, it didn¡¯t take long before this disciple of Black Cauldron Sect stopped breathing and died in front of him. His eyes were still opened wide as he had died with a grievance, moreover, his right hand was still pointing forward in fear. True dragon? Can it be that these dragon statues truly are alive? Ye Chuan shook his head. He knew that this disciple of Black Cauldron Sect was truly scared, so he was very likely to be wrong. Turning around, he walked to leave, but he noticed that Little Long¡¯er was unexpectedly sizing up the patterns of the door frame carefully. He appeared excited forgetting his fear and also looked nervous. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, can you understand it?¡± Ye Chuan was surprised but also looked forward to a little. The patterns on the door frame didn¡¯t resemble runes and also didn¡¯t resemble some decorations, he wasn¡¯t able to understand them. Perhaps, this mysterious little boy could understand them. Little Long¡¯er shook his head and said: ¡°I cannot understand, grandfather didn¡¯t teach me, merely¡­¡­, merely¡­¡­¡± ¡°What merely?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Merely, I feel like I have seen it in my dream, they appear¡­ familiar.¡± Little Long¡¯er somewhat hesitate, but under the urge of Ye Chuan, he boldly spoke. Seen in the dream? Ye Chuan shook his head and made a wry smile, then carrying Little Long¡¯er on his back again, he stepped into the second gate, continuing to move forward. This time, he didn¡¯t even reach far before he could indistinctly hear the sound of fighting, so he rushed forward to see. But the shocking scene he saw made his scalp tingled. About 20 adventurers had encountered the attack of several dragon statues. In the midst of poisonous mist, these dragons were ice-cold statues. They were glittering as if they were plated with a layer of gold; but after rushing into the road, the golden light around their body would quickly dissipate and they would turn into a true dragon with flesh and blood as if they had suddenly reawakened after being petrified for thousands of years. Moreover, they would launch violent attacks on people. Roar! A winged dragon statue suddenly opened its eyes, reviving right in front of the eyes of people. After reviving, it flapped its wings and pounced on that group of people. In this attack, three Daoist Master realm experts collapsed to the ground, and blood flowed out. It was unknown whether they were alive or not. The other people joined hand and used their remarkable abilities to kill this winged dragon. This winged dragon fell to the ground and whimpered for a little while, then cracks appeared on the body of this winged dragon, then its body exploded, changing into a pile of ice-cold stones. But in the next moment, the earth blew open and an earth dragon suddenly broke out from the ground, swallowing an expert into its stomach¡­¡­ The towering dragon statues that stood on both sides of this Demonic Dragon Path weren¡¯t crude statues, rather were true dragons. Their attack either tear apart the adventurers or crush them to meat pulp. But, they didn¡¯t leave behind dead bodies after they were killed. They rather leave a pile of stones. No one knew how many dragon statues were there in the midst of poisonous mist on both sides of this path, moreover, he couldn¡¯t see the ends of this complicate and zigzagged path. The Demonic Dragon Hall was still far away from them, so with such situation, he didn¡¯t know whether he could reach there or not. Ye Chuan was shocked and he didn¡¯t dare to rashly rush up. True dragons! The words and terrified expression of that disciple of Black Cauldron Sect before dying suddenly appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. They similarly were statues, but compared to Myriad Beast Forest, this Demonic Dragon Path was ten times more dangerous. This really was the Dragon Kingdom. Chapter 238: Dragon Crystal Stone Chapter 238: Dragon Crystal Stone At the juncture when their lives were at the stake, the remaining adventurers joined together and did their best to kill the earth dragon that bore out of from underground. They battled while walking, continuing to push forward. All along the road, huge dragons rushed over from the midst of the poisonous mist in succession and the two parties had intense fighting. Those huge dragons were very ferocious. It took only a moment to transform from statues to true dragons with flesh and blood, erupting with violent power. From time to time, adventurers fell and the numbers of dragons also increased. Those adventurers that were still alive in this Demonic Dragon Path, regardless of whether they were sect disciples or loose cultivators, all of them were great experts and most of them were at least Rank 1 Daoist Master realm. The huge dragons on both sides of this Demonic Dragon Path were very powerful, but the combat capability of those about a dozen Daoist Master realm experts who had joined together couldn¡¯t be underestimated. Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er observed everything from far away and were cautious. The chest of the winged dragon was hit heavily, and was sent flying away. Then, along with a whimper, it crashed landed on the ground. It just happened to heavily fall in front of the stone where Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er was hiding. And after struggling for a short while, the life force of this winged dragon dissipated, then with its skin losing the elasticity and becoming rigid, it again changed into a statue. Then numerous cracks appeared all over its body, and along with a cold wind, it disintegrated into several hundred pieces. And the huge head happened to tumble to the front of Ye Chuan, and Ye Chuan vaguely saw a dim light inside the head of this winged dragon. Treasure? The eyes of Ye Chuan shone, and recalling the small crystal men he found inside numerous statues of Myriad Beast Forest, he quickly turned this dragon head upside down. Sure enough, a blue colored crystal appeared in front of his eyes. It was a fist sized blue crystal that felt ice-cold when touched. Looking from distance, it was like a rune but upon closer look, its appearance was just like a shrunk winged dragon. Eyes, claws, wings¡­¡­, it had everything, even the fine hair of its wings were clearly visible. It was very lifelike as if a little winged dragon that had just grown up from the embryo. This is¡­¡­, is this a Dragon Crystal Stone? Ye Chuan was excited, and feeling the pure energy fluctuation coming from this blue crystal stone, Demonic Dragon Talisman within his body rotated even faster, echoing each other at a distance. Since even the small crystal men found within those ordinary dog headed statues and tiger headed statues were so precious, wouldn¡¯t these Dragon crystal stone found within these huge dragons be hundred times more valuable and moreover contains greater mysteries? The eyes of Ye Chuan burned and when he was just about to fish out that blue crystal stone, his body suddenly stiffened. A swift and fierce sword light came from behind which was filled with killing intent. Ye Chuan slightly tilted his head and from the corner of his eyes, he saw a black robbed middle-aged person flying over, stepping on the flying sword. He held a sharp spear and his body was dripping with blood with his hairs in disarray, most importantly, his ice-cold killing intent was threatening them. Little Long¡¯er trembled and become pale as he tightly hugged the thigh of Ye Chuan. He looked, didn¡¯t look and again looked at this expert who was bearing down menacingly. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, don¡¯t be afraid!¡± Ye Chuan reached out his hand and stroke the head of Little Long¡¯er, calming him down. ¡°So bold, where did you come from, daring to steal the spoils of capital¡¯s Long Clan, are you tired of living?¡± This black robed man holding a spear ferociously shouted and grabbing the empty air with his big hand, the blue crystal stone flew to his hand. These adventurers dressed differently, but they hung the same kind of waist plate on their waist. They clearly didn¡¯t resemble loose cultivators, also weren¡¯t the disciples of any sects, they instead came from the same clan, no wonder they were able to unite as one. Ye Chuan stood still letting this black robed man take the blue crystal stone. This dragon crystal stone was very hard to come by, it might have a powerful heaven grade cultivating technique recorded on it or might contain boundless pure energy which would give good benefit if refined, but, not far away from this black robed man who was bearing down menacingly, he had more than ten powerful companions, and none of them looked like amiable people. So Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to easily clash with them. ¡°Humph, trifling Rank 7 Xiushi, but still dared to enter this Demonic Dragon Path, truly is tired of living. Kid, what is your name, where did you come from?¡± The black robed man coldly sized up Ye Chuan. After taking the blue crystal stone, he didn¡¯t leave immediately, rather his cold eyes revealed ominous glint. After fiercely fighting again and again, the robe of Ye Chuan was already tattered and blood-stained, so the war robe of Ye Chuan was already unidentifiable as the war robe of Cloud Mist Sect. Obviously, this black robed middle-aged man treated Ye Chuan as loose cultivator just like themselves, moreover, a solitary one. In Wilderness World, the fight among the disciples of the sects was ordinary, but the fight among the loose cultivators was more bloody and direct. They often come to blows due to a brief remark. Every year, many loose cultivators die in a corner where no one knows. ¡°Ye Chuan, I live in the vicinity of Cloud Mist Mountain Range.¡± Ye Chuan replied, maintaining his composure on the surface, but inwardly, he was alert and kept his guard up against this fellow who harbored evil designs. But, sizing this middle aged man carefully, Ye Chuan suddenly felt the attire of this fellow was vaguely familiar, a bit like¡­¡­ A figure who came and go like a shadow suddenly appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. That figure was that Dark Underworld Emissary who had instigated Third Elder Bai Yanhu from behind the scenes! Compared to that Dark Underworld Emissary, the cultivation of this black robed middle-aged man was very lacking. He was merely a Rank 1 Daoist Master realm expert, but that pitch-black robe, sinister tone and especially that cold and gloomy aura, all were exactly the same. He might be the fellow disciple of that Dark Underworld Emissary or his subordinate. The capital¡¯s Long Clan, Ye Chuan silently memorized this name. Originally, after the Third Elder Bai Yanhu died, he thought that the clues had broken off and he wouldn¡¯t be able to uncover hidden Dark Underworld Emissary, but to his surprise, he suddenly found a clue here. ¡°Ye Chuan, good, this name is good, it¡¯s just like the name of a dead person, kakaka, boy, even though you are just Rank 7 Xiushi, you dare to rush in, sooner or later, you will die, but leaving you alone will give us additional trouble, so this lordship will send you two to meet your makers, kakaka¡­¡­¡± The black robed middle-aged man roared with laughter and suddenly stabbed towards the chest of Ye Chuan, wanting to pierce Ye Chuan and even Little Long¡¯er who was hiding behind Ye Chuan together. He had attacked ferociously. Along with the bone-chilling wind, an ear-piercing void breaking sound resounded. The spear of this black robed middle-aged man was fast like lightning and also ruthless. They had never met before and also hadn¡¯t incurred hatred, moreover, Ye Chuan had already given up on the dragon crystal stone, but this fellow didn¡¯t let this matter drop, unexpectedly made him a hindrance and made a move to take his life. Ye Chuan was silent and stood still, but his upper body suddenly swayed. Weng! A sharp sound resounded as the sharp spear whistle past the underarm of Ye Chuan and dangerously brush past the scalp of Little Long¡¯er. ¡°Eh¡­¡­, the cultivation is not up to much, but your speed isn¡¯t slow, but, boy, here I come again, see how this lordship¡­¡­¡± The black robed middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise, soon after that, his complexion sunk and his energy fluctuation rose, wanting to attack with all his strength. But, he wasn¡¯t able to pull out the sharp spear clamp under the arm of Ye Chuan. Gritting his teeth, he went all out, but he still wasn¡¯t able to even move the spear. The countenance of this middle-aged man suddenly changed, and his eyes flashed with terror as he understood that he had made an error of judgment. Looking at calm Ye Chuan, he suddenly felt strong unease. Chapter 239: Miniature Paradise Realm Chapter 239: Miniature Paradise Realm ¡°Who are you of capital¡¯s Long Clan? What is your name?¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at this restless black robed person and directly coming to the point, he said in a low voice, ¡°Speak, who sent Dark Underworld Emissary to Long Clan to look for trouble? Who is your master? What exactly is his purpose?¡± The voice of Ye Chuan suddenly become faint. It sounded like it was coming from the horizon, then the face of this black robed man become somewhat dazed and his eyes became blank. Demonic Sound! Regardless of the danger of triggering the restriction of Demonic Dragon Path and attracting the attack of huge dragons, he resolutely used his technique to interrogate the identity of this black robed man. If that Dark Underworld Emissary had truly infiltrated into the capital¡¯s Long Clan, then looking at the situation of Cloud Mist Sect, the purpose of this Dark Underworld Emissary was only one, subvert Long Clan and side by side, control this and other equally famous wealthy and influential clans like Murong aristocratic clan. Not speaking about attempting to dip one¡¯s finger in various big cultivation sects, extending their evil hands towards the secular world, and attempting to control everything, the power behind that Dark Underground Emissary was bigger and more powerful than he had expected. It was fine when he didn¡¯t know, but now that he knew that there was such a huge underground power, Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t let the other party have their way. At the very least, he would never allow that Dark Underground Emissary stage a comeback and once again become detrimental to Cloud Mist Sect. That year, when Ghost Hand Medicinal King was establishing Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan had already spent a lot of painstaking effort. To a certain extent, one could say that he had personally created this sect. As a result, he couldn¡¯t helplessly watch Cloud Mist Sect reducing to the puppet of other people. ¡°I¡­¡­, my name is Long Wu. I am the outer steward of capital¡¯s Long Clan. It¡¯s Hu¡­¡­¡± The black robed man was panic-stricken in his heart due to the intimation of Ye Chuan, and under the unguarded state, Demonic Sound confused him, causing him to speak out his name. But just when he was about to speak out who had sent him to Long Clan, he suddenly woke up. His tenacious willpower prompted him to instinctively resist the Demonic Sound of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan bent his knees and lowering his shoulders, he suddenly threw out a punch which hit right on the chest of this black robed man. The power behind this punch was neither too big nor too small. It was just strong enough to make this black robed man spit out a mouthful of blood and rupture internal organs. Moreover, the energy accumulated within his body dispersed and became chaotic, therefore, now he was unable to resist the effect of Demonic Sound. If the power behind his punch was a bit more, then the body of this black robed man would have exploded, killing him instantly, and if the power was a little bit less, then he wouldn¡¯t have achieved the desired effect. ¡°Speak, Hu what? Who sent you to capital¡¯s Long Clan?¡± Ye Chuan intently watched this injured black robed man, Long Wu, and struck while the iron was hot. The eyes of this black robed person Long Wu blanked again, and his mouth moved subconsciously. But, before he could speak out the name and identity of the instigator, he held his head and screamed, moreover, his face twisted and his four limbs convulsed. No! Demonic Sound doesn¡¯t have such side effect! Ye Chuan rushed over and pushed down the convulsing black robed man Long Wu. He wanted to rescue him, but his heart sunk. The four limbs of this black robed man still twitching, but he was no longer breathing. In the blink of an eye, he had died and his soul had scattered! Restriction! This was a kind of extremely powerful soul restriction. Once a person with this restriction wanted to speak out the restricted secret, he would be obliterated by the power of this restriction right away! Now, the complexion of Ye Chuan was solemn and he felt a heavy pressure in his heart. He had dealt with this kind of soul restriction, in his previous lifetime, when he concealed the heaven with one hand, he used this kind of restriction to bound some absolutely lawless great devils. The might of this kind of restriction was very amazing, but without exceedingly high restriction, one couldn¡¯t use this kind of restriction, moreover, it consumed an astonishing amount of vitality every time such restrictions are used. Behind Dark Underworld Emissary, was there a Half-Sage realm or Sage realm super expert? Ye Chuan was overwhelmed with shock as he understood that he was still underestimating the power behind Dark Underworld Emissary. This invisible opponent was far more powerful than Feng Ren and Third Elder Bai Yanhu, even Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s White Haired Heavenly Empress might not necessarily be his opponent. ¡°Long Wu¡­¡­¡± ¡°No. Brother Wu¡­¡­¡± The experts of Long Clan who were doing all they could to fight quickly noticed the activity behind them, and they ferociously rushed over in succession with soaring killing intent. At this moment, those huge dragons were unable to block them, and they rushed over in succession, wanting to kill Ye Chuan. A trifling Rank 7 Xiushi kid, originally, no one took Ye Chuan who had appeared all of a sudden seriously. But seeing the sudden death of black robed man Long Wu under the hand of Ye Chuan, they were startled and also angry. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan¡­¡­¡± Little Long¡¯er cried out in fear. Seeing about a dozen experts of Long Clan were rushing over, he became pale as he trembled. Even such ferocious dragons were unable to stop their steps, one could well imagine how powerful this group of Long Clan¡¯s experts were. With all of them rushing over together, even ten Ye Chuans couldn¡¯t stop them! If Ye Chuan died, then he was also doomed to die or even get tortured until he would wish to die due to the pain. Little Long¡¯er wasn¡¯t afraid of the restrictions of this paradise realm, rather he feared these adventurers that broke into this paradise realm. Many times, people were most terrifying! ¡°Run!¡± Ye Chuan shouted, and carrying Little Long¡¯er, he turned around and ran. Before leaving, he didn¡¯t forget to take the Dragon Crystal Stone from the bosom of the black robed man. Whoosh! An ear piercing void breaking sound resounded as an arrow shot straight towards the back of Ye Chuan. One of the experts of Long Clan stopped, and drawing his bow, he released the arrow. The bow had the name of Weapon Refining Great Master ¡®Meng Han¡¯ carved on it. The arrow was also a famous arrow. It was so sharp that it could even pierce through the head of a dragon, and its speed was also amazing. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived behind Ye Chuan. The neck of Ye Chuan suddenly sunken due to the strong wind coming from behind. ¡°Big brother, be careful!¡± Little Long¡¯er screamed. When he looked back, he just happened to see that terrifying arrow coming from afar. Ye Chuan extorted strength on his tiptoes, and he suddenly accelerated towards the poisonous mist on both sides of this Demonic Dragon Path. A screaming sound came from behind, the experts of Long Clan chasing behind Ye Chuan simultaneously stopped and had disbelief written all over their face. Touching this poisonous mist, their blood and flesh would be corroded, then they would change into skeletons. Even if they had no way out, who would dare to rush into the poisonous mist? Ye Chuan dared and he quickly disappeared in the midst of poisonous mist. ¡°That madman!¡± ¡°Damn it, where did that fellow come from? Long Wu also was too careless, too unfortunate to encounter such madman!¡± The experts of Long Clan cursed resentfully and after hastily burying the corpse of Long Wu, the turned away, continuing their journey towards the end of this Demonic Dragon Path. After a while, from the seething poisonous mist beside Demonic Dragon Path, Ye Chuan carrying Little Long¡¯er came out, and then hid behind a big stone. Little Long¡¯er didn¡¯t seem to have any problem, but Ye Chuan was feeling tingling pain from all over his body, moreover, he had small red marks all over his body which were very itching. Fortunately, they were nothing serious. After refining Demonic Dragon Ring, his body could resist the corrosion of the poisonous mist. ¡°Capital¡¯s Long Clan¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan murmured as he coldly watched the experts of Long Clan going further away. Then, with three feet tall flame suddenly appearing from his palm, he dripped a drop of blood to refine Dragon Crystal Stone on the spot. Suddenly a cyan light wandered around the small winged dragon statue, and as if alive, it had flesh and blood, moreover, flapping its wings, it circled a lap above the head of Ye Chuan, then changing into a wisp of cyan light, it entered the body of Ye Chuan. And on the Demonic Dragon Talisman, a small winged dragon pattern appeared. ¡°Eh, Demonic Dragon Talisman swallowed it? Can it be that, after cultivating Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, not only the heaven swallowing talismans become avatars, they still have paradise realm with completely different world inside? Are the current condensed heaven swallowing talismans miniature paradise realms? The more Ye Chuan thought, the more excited he became. At the end of his cultivation, he could condense 108,000 heaven swallowing talismans. And if his guess was correct, then wouldn¡¯t he have 108,000 avatars and 108,000 paradise realms? The more he comprehend, the more he discovered that he understood nothing. Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets he had obtained in God Burial Valley was far more mysterious and complicated than he had thought at that time. Even with the experience of his previous lifetime and current Rank 7 Xiushi realm cultivation, he merely comprehended a tip of an iceberg. Chapter 240: Paradise Realm guardians Chapter 240: Paradise Realm guardians On both sides of Demonic Dragon Path, the poisonous mist was seething, and from the distant place, the sound of fighting came frequently. Ye Chuan stood motionless, quietly comprehending the changes in his Demonic Dragon Talisman. After the dragon crystal was merged, the energy fluctuation within his body had increased, which vaguely coordinate with the energy fluctuation of the world. This was the sign that he was about to break through to Daoist Master realm. Once he broke through the final bottleneck of Xiushi realm and entered into Daoist Master real, he would become a real expert and could use even more techniques! After reincarnation, now, Ye Chuan stood in front of the first real cultivation checkpoint. If his cultivation stagnated, then he would forever be a trash and will not get anywhere; if he takes this step and broke through to Daoist Master realm, then he would have a bigger stage in front of him and he could truly wander around Wilderness World. The sign of breakthrough made people excited and hopeful, but Ye Chuan was more concerned about the changes in Demonic Dragon Talisman. After dragon crystal fused, this talisman had become even more condensed, and he could vaguely sense it was somewhat similar to Cyan Lotus Space, but contained even greater power. With his thought, the energy emitted by this talisman steadily rose with earth-shaking momentum. Po! A muffled sound resounded as Ye Chuan punched the air. The air rippled, and an invisible air blast whistled out like a huge arrow shot from a crossbow. Behind violent air blast, the air twisted and rotated, quickly changing into a dragon phantom. It was a winged dragon with more than ten meters wide wings. It held its head high and roared, then rushing to the front of the air blast, it rushed several hundred meters away, and then this winged dragon¡¯s phantom slowly dissipated. Winged Dragon Punch! The strength of an ordinary punch was increased sharply. An ordinary person couldn¡¯t even imagine the profoundness behind this punch. It was a treasure that similarly dropped from a statue, but this dragon crystal was truly more valuable than any small crystal man obtained inside the stone forest. Not only it had majestic and pure energy, there still were technique and profound mysteries. The eyes of Ye Chuan shone, then he suddenly issued a long, loud cry holding his head high. This dangerous and unfathomable Demonic Dragon Path suddenly become the place to encounter fortune. Just merging with one dragon crystal was so powerful, if merged with 10, 100¡­¡­, then what kind of changes would occur in Demonic Dragon Talisman? Will it change from quantitative to qualitative change, refining a true Demonic Dragon Physique? Ye Chuan was hopeful as he looked at the layer upon layer of palaces at the horizon. Rumble, suddenly a rumbling sound came from the distant place. It seemed someone had activated more restriction. Moreover, the sound of shouting, fighting, screaming and ear-defeating dragon roar came from the distant place practically at the same time. Little Long¡¯er raised his head. His face was pale and he appeared somewhat afraid and also somewhat expectant. He seemed to have sensed something. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, do you want to play a game with big brother?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly said, then taking out a few crystal stones from inside the Cyan Lotus Space, he emitted a three inches flame from his palm, melting the crystal stones. And not long after, they changed into a strange-looking mask. The lower chin of this mask had a beard, the face was cyan along with white as if painted with greasepaint, and the top had a horn with a protruding forehead. Wearing this mask, one would look like an indigenous person that had just left the mountain. It vaguely also resembled the dragon face. After wearing this mask, Ye Chuan changed into a yao beast with dragon head and a human body. ¡°Well, listen to every instruction of big brother.¡± Little Long¡¯er nodded his head with pleasure. Seeing the appearance of Ye Chuan after he wore that mask, he was somewhat eager to try it. Ye Chuan took out a few crystal stones again and quickly made a mask for Little Long¡¯er following the suit. Then, Little Long¡¯er also wore the mask. And after disguising themselves, they quietly left, walking on the edge of Demonic Dragon Path and poisonous mist. The experts of Long Clan triggered every restriction on the path which alerted dragon statues on both sides of Demonic Dragon Path. As a result, they had to kill all the way. Moreover, carefulness was of no help. Oddly enough, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er had no effect, even if they bump into the dragon statues in the midst of poisonous mist, they didn¡¯t trigger the restriction. It seems after sensing the Demonic Dragon aura within their bodies, the restrictions within this paradise realm had no effect on them. Before long, Ye Chuan caught up to the experts of Long Clan. In less than half an hour, only seven people were left from the group of Long Clan. Even those alive were injured and were covered in blood. But, these fellows were especially brave, even in such conditions, they continued to advance forward. They appeared as if unless they were wiped out, they swore not to stop until they reach the Demonic Dragon Hall at the end of this Demonic Dragon Path. Roar! Along with a roaring sound, an earth dragon suddenly rushed out from the ground, then opening its mouth, it swallowed one expert of Long Clan and whipped another one flying into the poisonous mist with its tail. Their sad and shrill cry was very brief. Two Daoist Master realm experts of Long Clan instantly died just like that. The remaining five experts of Long Clan rushed up and cooperated to kill this ferocious earth dragon. And after a while, along with cracking sounds, the corpse of earth dragon disintegrated, changing into a pile of stones. The sharped eyes person among them saw an earth yellow colored dragon crystal falling out of the head of this earth dragon, so he rushed forward, but just when was about to grab it, a scary face suddenly appeared in front of him. He had a beard on his chin and also had a horn above, moreover, with a colorful face, he looked somewhat funny and strange. ¡°All those who intrude my Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm will die, contact the death curse, kakakaka¡­¡­¡± Seeing the suddenly appeared terrifying face, the expert of Long Clan was so scared that he instinctively retreated and when he came back to his senses, that person with terrifying face had already turned around and plunged into that terrifying poisonous mist. Moreover, he had taken that dragon crystal, leaving behind a strange laughter. Relying on his tyrannical physical body, mysterious Peerless Style Technique and the ability to walk through the poisonous mist, now, Ye Chuan could come and go like a shadow, as a result, he was able to easily snatch the spoils of war from the expert of Long Clan. This was still showing mercy, otherwise, with his current ability, he could easily launch a surprise attack when they were in unguarded state and inflict fatal damage. He hadn¡¯t attacked them and showed mercy on them because, on one hand, he didn¡¯t have big resentment towards the capital¡¯s Long Clan; and on the other hand, living them alive was better than killing them as he could use them to kill dragons, then seize the chance to snatch dragon crystals. Ordinary treasures, even if they were heaven grade treasure, Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t even look at them even if the experts of Long Clan gave them to him. In his previous lifetime, what kind of peerless treasure of this Wilderness World he hadn¡¯t seen. But these dragon crystals were different, and they were much better. ¡°Who was that?¡± ¡°Dragon head human body, moreover, can walk through the poisonous mist, can it be that that was the guardian of this paradise realm?¡± The remaining experts of Long Clan looked pale. The death curse Ye Chuan had spoken thoughtlessly had greatly scared them. Only after a long time, they were able to overcome the fear in their hearts, then bracing themselves, they continued to move forward. Behind, behind a rock enveloped by the poisonous mist, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er looked at each other with an evil smile, after that, Ye Chuan refined that dragon crystal on the spot. Very soon, in Demonic Dragon Talisman within his body, a small pattern appeared once again. Last time, it was a winged dragon, but this time, it was an earth dragon pattern. Moreover, the energy fluctuation within his body increased once again. Chapter 241: Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road Chapter 241: Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road The five surviving experts of Long Clan continued to press onward. They were brave and battle-wise. When the paradise realm was about to come up out of the ground, changes appeared in heaven and earth. Sensing this changes, many powerful and famous experts of the capital urgently rushed over via teleportation formation. Now, among more than 200 people, only these 5 were still alive. They had heavy casualties. Walking on this dangerous and unfathomable Demonic Dragon Path, the complexion of those five people was tense. Even if they returned back, they might similarly trigger a restriction, so they could only brace themselves and walk forward. Perhaps because an army with a grievance was bound to prevail or perhaps because the lady luck was finally on their side, although they suffered the attack of huge dragons one after another, no one was killed. Even when they were about to suffer an accident, they were able to avoid their vital parts narrowly. But, the hateful thing was, whenever a huge dragon collapsed and a dragon crystal appeared, a mysterious guardian of this paradise realm would always snatch it away. Throughout the way, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er tailed behind those five experts of Long Clan waiting for their chance to seize the dragon crystal. Not only they didn¡¯t seize this chance to attack those injured experts of Long Clan, instead, they frequently helped them in secret. At the juncture when one¡¯s life was at stake, sometimes, after those experts of Long Clan dodged the calamity, they would be at a loss as they didn¡¯t know how they dodged. In the beginning, Little Long¡¯er shrunk with cold and closely followed Ye Chuan. But, later, under the encouragement of Ye Chuan, he slowly became daring, and gradually, he displayed his amazing talent. Under the corrosion of poisonous mist, Ye Chuan was still somewhat uncomfortable. He couldn¡¯t stay within the poisonous mist for a long period of time, but it was different for Little Long¡¯er. Not only the poisonous mist didn¡¯t have any effect on him, on the contrary, like a tiger that has grown wings, immersing in the poisonous mist, his speed and power soared dramatically. Later, Ye Chuan provided support from the back and Little Long¡¯er seized the dragon crystal that fell down from inside the huge dragon. Rumble! A muffled sound resounded as yet another dragon fell. This time, it was a black dragon that fell to the ground. Its body got stiff and burst into a pile of stones. Then, a black colored dragon crystal rolled out from its head. It was jet-black as if a black crystal. This black dragon was especially ferocious and tough. It nearly annihilated those five experts of Long Clan. Moreover, the dragon crystal that rolled out from inside its head was also one-third bigger compared to frequently seen dragon crystal. The leader of the experts of Long Clan, Long San, was a cyan robed person, he was roughly 40 years old in age. Seeing this black dragon crystal right in front of his eyes, his eyes shone, then he personally threw himself at it. But at the moment, when his fingertip touched this dragon crystal, the dragon crystal disappeared without a trace before he could grab it. And a thin and small figure flashed before his eyes, then rushing into the poisonous mist, he disappeared. ¡°Damn, it¡¯s him again!¡± The cyan robed man gnashed his teeth and said angrily. ¡°Third brother, this situation doesn¡¯t seem right. Before, a big guardian of paradise realm came, and now a small one, are they targeting us? Is there truly a so-called death curse, are we going to die here?¡± A young expert of Long Clan walked over with tense complexion and he looked all around with terror as he said. That ugly faced evil spirit could rush out from the poisonous mist of two sides of this Demonic Dragon Path at any time. Being assassinated by a blade was still a minor matter, but being dragged inside the poisonous mist was certain doom. They could only look at themselves becoming dead bones helplessly. Just thinking about it, his heart was in jitters. ¡°Shut up, what curse? Just walk!¡± The leader cyan robed man, Long San, coldly said. But, although he had an ice-cold expression, he was also restless in his heart, still, he had no choice but to appear strong on the surface so that he could lead these people to continue walking forward. This time, the patriarch of Long Clan had given him a mission. He must enter the important place of this paradise realm, then seize the inheritance of paradise realm which was of the utmost importance. As a result, no matter what danger he had to face in the front, he had to brace himself and press onward. If he didn¡¯t accomplish this mission, then returning to the capital, he couldn¡¯t explain himself to the old patriarch. According to the rumor, the old patriarch of Murong aristocratic family was about to breakthrough to Sage realm in the near future, so the Long Clan needed the inheritance of this paradise realm, otherwise, they would be completely trampled by Murong aristocratic family. The five experts of Long Clan took a rest for a little while, then they continued forward. Behind them, behind a big stone, Ye Chuan closed his eyes and refined the black colored dragon crystal he had just obtained on the spot. Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation that wished to rend the heaven and earth erupted within his body. He was obviously standing still, but his biceps, triceps and even abdominal muscles vibrated, issuing a series of crackling sounds as if an electricity was running through his body. Now, his energy was so violent that even Little Long¡¯er who had always followed behind him was frightened and retreated a bit away from him. This violent energy disappeared as fast as it came. Not long after, the energy fluctuation within his body simmered down and he slowly opened his eyes. Now, even though there were still six Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and he was still Rank 7 Xiushi, the feeling he gave was different to some extent. Standing still, he gave a blade-like sharp feeling. ¡°This Long San is not bad, it seems the Long Clan of the capital that has the inheritance of hundreds of years is not simple. Little Long¡¯er, let¡¯s go!¡± After opening his eyes, Ye Chuan looked at the back view of those experts of Long Clan and making an evil smile, then with Little Long¡¯er, he followed them keeping a certain distance. Under the watch of Ye Chuan, those experts of Long Clan were depressed and dejected because all the dragon crystals they came across after killing dragons with great difficulty instantly disappeared before their eyes. But, not long after, they discovered that they were not the only one to have bad luck. After pressing forward for an hour, these experts of Long Clan caught up to a large troop. Ye Chuan also accidentally discovered a few familiar faces. Tuoba Xiong and Five Style Sect¡¯s Feng Ren were among them. The experts of Long Clan that were walking behind could still be counted as quite good. Tuoba Xiong, Feng Ren and others who were walking in the front encountered much more dragon guards. Now, all of them were covered in blood. But to the surprise of Ye Chuan, there were many sects disciples beside Tuoba Xiong and Feng Ren. And especially Tuoba Xiong, compared to the time when he entered the demonic dragon path, there were much more disciples of Black Cauldron Sect around him. It seemed, the entrance to enter this Demonic Dragon Path was not limited to one. The more people walked together, the more dragons they encountered. The ear-deafening dragon roar never stopped as dragon continuously rushed out from the poisonous mist. Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er were far behind the crowd. Only when dragon crystal appeared, they rushed up. And like the statues of stone forest, not every dragon had treasure sealed within its body. The head of some dragons was empty and also, all the treasures dropped from the dragons were not dragon crystal. Some were flying sword, armors and even pills. Every time a treasure appeared, there would be a fierce battle, but apart from dragon crystal, Ye Chuan basically ignored everything else. Roar! Along with a loud roar, a huge golden dragon suddenly reached to the clouds and abruptly rushed forward, directly killing five adventurers. All people rushed forward showing their power and joined forces to kill this terrifying dragon. The body of this golden dragon cracked open and become a stone, then along with a dazzling golden light, a dragon crystal appeared in front of people. It was at least twice as big as ordinary dragon crystal, and with its boundless pure energy spreading all over, a golden light fell from the sky. Bathing in this golden light, people discovered that their wounds were healing at an unbelievable speed. ¡°This treasure is mine, Wind Nation!¡± Feng Ren of Five Style Sect roared and suddenly disappeared. In the next moment, he appeared next to the golden skeleton and grabbed this dazzling golden dragon crystal. Seeing this golden dragon crystal, Feng Ren used all his strength including his hidden strength. When others were still stunned, he had already taken this treasure in his hand. Then, the disciples of Five Style Sect under his leadership rushed over in succession, arranging a sword formation around him, strictly on guard against other experts. Chapter 242: What I want is not treasure but your life Chapter 242: What I want is not treasure but your life ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, it¡¯s mine, it¡¯s mine!¡± Sensing the energy contained within the golden dragon crystal, old man Feng Ren roared with laughter. He already had several dragon crystals in his hands. Although no one could refine those dragon crystals as fast as Ye Chuan, and they also didn¡¯t know the use of those dragon crystals, but they instinctively knew that those dragon crystals were good things. After leaving this paradise realm and returning to Five Style Sect, he could slowly refine and comprehend. Then, making a breakthrough in one fell swoop, he could snatch the power of Five Style Sect! After the sect master of Five Style Sect was drawn into this paradise realm, it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. Over many years, he had always been eyeing the throne of sect master, and he would naturally not miss this extremely rare good opportunity. All experts of sects and loose cultivators surrounded them and looking at that golden dragon crystal in the hand of Feng Ren, the gaze of everyone became scorching hot and were ready to make a move. But, looking at Feng Ren and numerous elite disciples of Five Style Sect around him, they had no choice but to give up the thought of forcibly snatching it. Among this huge crowd of experts, there were many cultivators that were equally matched with Feng Ren, and some could even claim to be slightly better. But, there were many people of Five Style Sect and they were united as one, as a result, even cruel and ruthless great devils did not dare to easily make a move against Feng Ren. Feng Ren looked at the expression of people around him and he laughed even louder as he felt secure in the knowledge that he had a strong backing. Originally, he had thought that he had become a loner, but to his surprise, after entering Demonic Dragon Path, he actually met with a group of Five Style Sect¡¯s disciples, and in turn become the most powerful person among the crowd. After that, if they ran into a good thing, he would go and snatch it from other people too, but, who dare to defy the mighty? ¡°This old bastard, he is a step faster again. What kind of dog shit luck does he have today?¡± Tuoba Xiong coldly looked at Feng Ren. He was unwilling to let Feng Ren have that golden dragon crystal, but, there were 50-60 elite disciples of Five Style Sect around him, nearly twice as much as the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, so he could only endure without making a move. The Demonic Dragon Path was long and winding, he didn¡¯t know what kind of dangers lied ahead, but there were also more opportunities ahead, so it wasn¡¯t advantageous for him to fight against Feng Ren at this moment. ¡°Ai, with luck on my side, even if I truly want to stop, I am unable to stop. It¡¯s mine, does anybody want to snatch it from me?¡± Feng Ren clearly saw the unwillingness of his old opponent, Tuoba Xiong, and he felt even more complacent, moreover, took this advantage to show off. And hearing those words, Tuoba Xiong had an impulse to flip out, but he took a deep breath and still endured. Then, he intentionally turned around and didn¡¯t look at that complacent expression of Feng Ren, but he could still hear that laughter of Feng Ren. ¡°Old bastard, who said this treasure is yours?¡± A cold voice suddenly resounded when Feng Ren was laughing heartily. This voice wasn¡¯t big, but clearly transmitted to the ear of everyone present. Ye Chuan who had been far behind suddenly took off the mask and calmly walked up. Well-trained disciples of Five Style Sect had heavily surrounded Feng Ren. Even if he rushed out from the midst of poisonous mist, it would still be hard to the snatch the golden dragon crystal. After estimating this, Ye Chuan simply walked from the front. The laughter of Feng Ren ceased abruptly, and seeing Ye Chuan was walking over holding his head high, he suddenly felt uncomfortable as if he had eaten a dead fly. But, thinking that capturing Ye Chuan was even better than obtaining any treasure, he coldly smiled and his energy suddenly erupted. Then, pushing open the guards in front of him, he directly walked towards Ye Chuan while his killing intent and energy were steadily increasing. ¡°Eh, who is that youth?¡± ¡°I heard that he is the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, but he is merely a Xiushi, is this boy tired of living?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ The crowd became restless and began discussing pointing towards Ye Chuan. Nowadays, among the three big sects of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Ye Chuan was like the sun at high noon who was known by everyone. But, the disciples of other sects and loose cultivators that came from far away didn¡¯t know him. Even Tuoba Xiong, this ferocious and ambitious person didn¡¯t dare to rob in broad daylight, but Ye Chuan went alone to snatch it from Feng Ren. Wasn¡¯t this courting death? Even the people who had continued to walk forward stopped and waited for this one-sided battle to begin as they took advantage of this occasion to rest. Tuoba Xiong also turned around to look, and seeing the figure of Ye Chuan, he frowned finding this hard to believe. Even with his cultivation, it was hard to arrive here, moreover, he had paid a heavy price. He had lost many elites of the sect, but how did Ye Chuan who was merely a Xiushi arrive here without any scratch? ¡°Brat, I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time, and you brat have come at just the right time. If this treasure isn¡¯t mine, then is it yours? Hahaha¡­¡­¡± Feng Ren walked up and with a ferocious face, he couldn¡¯t help roaring with laughter. Even before he made any move, he was very excited in his heart, imagining the pleasant sensation of breaking the neck of Ye Chuan. It already felt very wonderful to seize a treasure in front of his rivals. But, after seizing a treasure, if he killed the enemy, getting rid of Ye Chuan, this thorn in his flesh, in the presence of all, then that would feel even more wonderful! ¡°It¡¯s not yours, it¡¯s mine, and your life is also mine.¡± Ye Chuan also walked forward in large strides. And those two people got closer and closer. As expected, suddenly rushing out of the poisonous mist, it would have been difficult for him to get close to Feng Ren who was heavily surrounded by guards. But, approaching straightforwardly taking off his mask, the old fellow also walked up as he had expected. This old fellow still treated him as an ordinary Xiushi realm cultivator. Since that was the case, not snatching the treasure from this old man¡¯s hand was unnatural! One was a powerful longtime Daoist Master realm Elder of Five Style Sect, and the other was a trifling young disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, was there any suspense in this battle? Of course, there wasn¡¯t. Looking at over-confident Ye Chuan, the people shook their head and waited to see how he would die. When the distance between those two people was less than 7 meters, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped and said: ¡°Old man, let¡¯s make a bet, whoever loses the treasure is the loser, how about it?¡± ¡°Who wants to bet with you? Brat, do you think you have the qualification to bet with me?¡± Feng Ren coldly smiled and continued to advance. Moreover, his energy fluctuation continued to rise, and along with wind blades appearing in the sky, his killing intent soared. Then he added, ¡°Now, it is not the time to discuss about whose treasure, brat, I want your life! What, scared? You stood out courageously, but, are you scared now? Hahaha¡­..¡± Feng Ren grinned hideously and he suddenly speeded up, determined to kill Ye Chuan. In an instant, he used wind style to appear in front of Ye Chuan, then those wind blades that were even sharper than flying swords flew towards Ye Chuan and enveloped him. ¡°Kill!¡± Feng Ren shouted loudly. He had attacked with all his strength without holding back. The on-looking people closed their mouth, and even Tuoba Xiong became solemn, feeling the pressure from this one move of Feng Ren. Even though he was a dignified Sect Master of Black Cauldron Sect and a Rank 5 Daoist Master realm expert, even he would not dare to take this move of Feng Ren head on. The poisonous mist on the right side of Demonic Dragon Path suddenly seethed as Little Long¡¯er who was hiding there become nervous. He opened his mouth and just when he was about to shout, he suddenly recalled the instruction of Ye Chuan. He had to hide within the poisonous mist and wait for the opportune moment to come. Chapter 243: Old dragon doesn’t eat young grass Chapter 243: Old dragon doesn¡¯t eat young grass The wind blades rotated around, seethed and blotted out the sky and covered the earth, engulfing Ye Chuan. Moreover, sharp ¡®wuwuwu¡¯ sounds came through the sky as the air was torn. Wind Nation! This moment, Feng Ren used his signature deadly move which made him famous, moreover, he went all-out as he was determined to kill Ye Chuan. The complexion of on-looking crowd was solemn, and they had to re-examine the strength of Feng Ren. Such a swift and violent deadly attack, even a Daoist Master realm expert would not be able to stop or dodge it. So Ye Chuan who was merely a trifling Xiushi realm cultivator was screwed! Ye Chuan suddenly moved, and swaying within the minimum limits, afterimages appeared. Dingdingding, loud and clear sounds resounded in succession. Ye Chuan used peerless style technique to dodge the overwhelming majority of wind blades, but many still stabbed his body. However, to the surprise of everyone, every wind blade issued a metal colliding sounds as if hitting a thick and heavy armor. The wind blades all over the sky disappeared, but Ye Chuan was still standing tall without any wound. There was an indistinct white light circulating around his body as if he was wearing a full body invisible armor. ¡°This¡­¡­, how can this be?¡± The on-looking crowd had their eyes wide open. They were stunned including Feng Ren as they looked at Ye Chuan in disbelief. Now! Attack! Ye Chuan rushed up and punched coldly. Along with six Heaven Swallowing Talismans rotating rapidly, the strength of 108,000 jin suddenly erupted. Whoosh! This punch was so powerful that even the air twisted and rippled, moreover, one, two¡­¡­, many phantoms of dragons appeared in the air. There were winged dragon with the wingspan of ten meters, yellow colored earth dragon, ferocious black dragons and golden dragon. And in an instant, 7 or 8 dragons pounced onto Feng Ren along with soul stirring dragon roar. With every dragon crystal he refined, there was one dragon phantom. This punch which originally was just an ordinary punch brought ferocious might. The might of this punch was unexpectedly not inferior to the Wind Nation of Feng Ren, and was even better! The spectators were startled and subconsciously fell back. As for Feng Ren who was bearing the brunt of this move, his heart was in jitters. This counterattack of Ye Chuan, how does it resemble the attack of a Xiushi realm cultivator? Even the punch of a Daoist Master realm wouldn¡¯t have such momentum! Feng Ren gritted his teeth and whirlwind began to rise again around him, which changed into sharp wind blades and whistled directly towards those dragons. An ear-piercing colliding sound resounded, then thw ind blades all over the sky vanished like smoke and dispersed like clouds, and those 7-8 dragon phantoms also disappeared. Ye Chuan however took advantage of this change to dash to the front of Feng Ren and ferociously attacked him. ¡°Powerful, how can this kid do this?¡± ¡°Expert, he is a hidden expert!¡± People got agitated and kept watching without blinking their eyes. Even Tuoba Xiong was same. Not a single person had thought that Ye Chuan who had ordinary cultivation level on the surface was so powerful. Hitting so ferociously in such close proximity, would Feng Ren die in the hands of Ye Chuan or will he suffer severe injury? Now this battle which originally was without any suspense suddenly made everyone excited and everybody focused their attention. The complexion of Feng Ren was tense, this attack of Ye Chuan suddenly made him feel uneasy and his intuition told him to dodge letting go of his face. Still, he gritted his teeth, and ferociously chopped towards Ye Chuan with his wind blade, confronting the tough with toughness. As for Ye Chuan, he suddenly swayed left and right, dodging the wind blades of Feng Ren, leaving behind afterimages. So fast! Ye Chuang instantly erupted with speed, shocking everyone. Feng Ren could no longer care about his face, and retreated immediately, but, his left hand suddenly felt lighter as the golden dragon crystal was snatched by Ye Chuan. ¡°Old man, thanks!¡± Ye Chuan smiled and swaggered off taking the golden dragon crystal. From the very beginning, his target was this golden dragon crystal. The might of that head-on attack was powerful, but it was merely an empty move. This completely deceived the old man Feng Ren. When the numerous disciples of Five Style Sect rushed out, it was already a step too late. ¡°Chase!¡± Feng Ren lost his temper and took the lead to chase Ye Chuan. He had just laughed heartily and threatened that this golden dragon crystal was his, and no one could snatch it, but in the blink of an eye, that golden dragon crystal fell into the hand of Ye Chuan. Like this, where did he face go? How could this be endured? ¡°Chase!¡± ¡°Kill, kill this brat!¡± Numerous disciples of Five Style Sect chased after Ye Chuan while cursing furiously with soaring killing intent. As for Ye Chuan, he just looked back at Feng Ren and numerous disciples of Five Style Sect, and sneered. He didn¡¯t rush into the poisonous mist and seize the opportunity to flee to a faraway place, but continued to run forward along the Demonic Dragon Path while secretly slowly down his step. ¡°Boy, don¡¯t run if you have the skill. Leave the thing behind, otherwise, when this lordship catch you, I will cut you into three hundred pieces!¡± Feng Ren gnashed his teeth and ferociously pursued relentlessly, and seeing the distance between them were getting shorter and shorter, he was wild with joy in his heart. Then, a whirlwind sharp wind blades began to reappear around him. Whoosh, a towering dragon statue at the roadside suddenly opened its eye and just after Ye Chuan ran past in front of it, it transformed into a true dragon with flesh and blood, and then attacked Feng Ren. Feng Ren who was wholeheartedly chasing after Ye Chuan was caught unprepared. This attacked sent him flying and blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth as he nearly tumbled into thatterrifying poisonous mist. ¡°Kill!¡± Feng Ren roared and he suddenly disappeared, then appeared ten meters away. But, he didn¡¯t try to kill the dragon, rather continued to chase after Ye Chuan. And in a blink of an eye, he appeared ten meters away again, which was merely half a meter away from Ye Chuan. From behind, sad and shrill screams came as the disciples of Five Style Sect suffered the attack of the dragon, but, Feng Ren didn¡¯t even turn his head and put all his energy to use wind style to chase him. Today, he was determined to kill Ye Chuan even if he had to pay a big price. But, what made his mad was, he was only half a meter away from Ye Chuan, but was never able to catch him. With an ear-deafening dragon roar from the front, a 100 meters tall dragon rushed over from the poisonous mist. Triggering the restriction of Demonic Dragon Path, yet another dragon was attracted. ¡°Hahaha, brat, where will you run now?¡± Feng Ren who was chasing behind roared with laughter, then along with a dazzling gleam, hundreds upon hundreds of wind blades condensed outside his body. Using his signature technique, Wind Nation, he added with a ferocious face, ¡°Brat, be obedient and stretch your neck to accept death, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± A dragon was blocking in the front, and a formidable enemy was chasing behind, Ye Chuan truly was screwed this time! The onlookers shook their head in sympathy. The strength of Ye Chuan had cause their eyes to shine, but, this time, it would be difficult for him to escape with his life. Even if Tuoba Xiong with in the place of Ye Chuan, he wasn¡¯t confident to escape unscathed from that dangerous situation. Roar, an ear-deafening dragon roar resounded and the dragon ferociously rushed over. But, it completely ignored Ye Chuan who ran past it, instead, ferociously pounce onto Feng Ren chasing behind Ye Chuan. How could this be? The dragon ignored Ye Chuan and pounced onto him, could it be that this dragon stone has different taste? It didn¡¯t like young grass but especially likes old bones? The laughter of Feng Ren stopped short, and looking at the dragon pouncing onto him while ignoring Ye Chuan, he wanted to vomit a blood. Compared to his old rival, Tuoba Xiong, his luck was very good. After entering Demonic Dragon Path, he luckily met a large group of Five Style Sect¡¯s disciple, vastly increase his strength. Like that, whatever treasure he obtain first, no one dare to snatch it from him. But when Ye Chuan appeared, his good luck seemed to have ended. This fellow was his complete nemesis, even better luck was also no use against him! ¡°Hahaha, old man, you don¡¯t need to escort me!¡± Ye Chuan laughed heartily and looking at the depressed Feng Ren, he swaggered off along with the golden dragon crystal and disappeared from the field of vision of people. Chapter 244: Not die without doing Chapter 244: Not die without doing ¡°Brat, don¡¯t run!¡± Feng Ren flew into a rage and wanted to continue chasing, but with two dragons blocking his way in succession, he lost some time. By the time he got rid of those two dragons, he had already lost one-fifth of the disciples of Five Style Sect, moreover, both of those dragons¡¯ heads were empty. Let alone some dragon crystals, he didn¡¯t even obtain a piece of dragon scale. Everything changed into ice-cold broken stone, making people even gloomier. After this small disturbance, people again continued to walk towards the ends of this Demonic Dragon Path. Merely, the situation had changed compared to before. Feng Ren leading the disciples of Five Style Sect was no longer the strongest team, and the other sect disciples and loose cultivators no longer exercise forbearance everywhere. Conflict and scramble occurred time and again, but, this was nothing, what made Feng Ren vomit a blood had yet to come. Relying on his powerful strength and high speed, after a little while, Feng Ren was able to obtain another dragon crystal. This time, it was a cyan colored water dragon crystal. It wasn¡¯t big but contained pure energy. Refining it, it would be sufficient to have the efficacy of at least 100 years. Feng Ren closed his eyes and quietly sensed the energy fluctuation of cyan dragon crystal. A cold wind blew over and happy Feng Ling suddenly felt his palm was lighter. The heavy dragon crystal on his palm had disappeared. ¡°Old man Feng Ren, I will help you take care of this dragon crystal, you¡¯re welcome.¡± Ye Chuan flashed and appeared ten meters away, then flashing again, he reached 100 meters away, and then ran away, snatching that dragon crystal. When he snatched golden crystal, he had said the words of thanks, but now, he had directly said you¡¯re welcomed, making Feng Ren vomit blood. There were many disciples of Five Style Sect beside Feng Ren, but no-one saw from where Ye Chuan popped up from. ¡°Kill, kill him for me!¡± Feng Ren flew into a rage and recklessly chased which resulted in triggering the restriction like before, then dragons stopped him like before. In this mysterious and dangerous Demonic Dragon Path, people were unable to move a single step. Walking every segment, they would trigger restriction, attracting those terrifying dragons. Ye Chuan however seemed to be walking freely as if this place was his back garden, moreover, he didn¡¯t trigger any restriction. Feng Ren¡¯s heart was in a mess as he ferociously watched Ye Chuan getting farther away. After reaching the place where no-one could see, Ye Chuan rushed into the poisonous mist, refining the dragon crystal in his hand. He didn¡¯t need to fear the corrosion of poisonous mist, this was his secret. Relying on this point, he launched a surprise attack and smoothly snatched the treasure in the hand of Feng Ren. If they were to know his secret, then Feng Ren and others would be prepared, which would make it difficult if he wanted to smoothly snatch the treasures. Dripping a drop of essence blood, the cyan dragon crystal in his hand changed into a cyan water dragon, then circling in the air, it changed into a cyan light and entered the body of Ye Chuan. But, to his surprise, it didn¡¯t fuse with Demonic Dragon Talisman, rather disappeared into that flowing water shaped Flowing Water Talisman. After that, a watery light floated around the body of Ye Chuan, clearly reacting with the moisture of the atmosphere. ¡°Eh¡­¡­, Demonic Dragon Talisman has reached its limit so quickly. Is it unable to hold any more energy? Or, because the other talismans don¡¯t have sufficient energy, was it dragged behind?¡± Ye Chuan doubted and urged Little Long¡¯er to stay in poisonous mist, then quickly left. Outside, Feng Ren killed all around and obtain a dragon crystal again, pressuring his rivals again. This time, the old man learned his lesson. He didn¡¯t dare to swagger and admire the treasure in his hand. He immediately commanded numerous disciples of Five Style Sect to lay out a sword formation to defend him. This assured him and he was able to appreciate the dragon crystal in his hand. This dragon crystal was clearly much smaller. It was yellow in color with some spots seemingly containing many impurities and it also appeared to contain insufficient energy. It was nothing like that golden and cyan dragon crystals he had obtained before. But, being in the midst of numerous experts, it was not easy to snatch, just being able to obtain this dragon crystal was already amazing. Looking at empty handed Tuoba Xiong not far away from him, Feng Ren found comfort in his heart. Even if a mosquito was small, it was also a meat. Not every dragon killed had dragon crystal, so even this small dragon crystal was also a treasure. Rumble! Along with a muffled sound, the ground under the feet of Feng Ren suddenly rose and an earth dragon broke out from the ground. The disciples of Five Style Sect surrounding Feng Ren turned pale with fright, and because they were caught unprepared, they were in a chaos, and this sword formation also collapsed. Old man Feng Ren reacted very quickly. Wind blades quickly reappeared around his body and ferociously attacked this earth dragon. The blade light glimmered and thousands of blade scars appeared on the ground, then the wind blade disappeared along with the ferocious earth dragon. When other dragon died, they at least left stones, but this earth dragon left nothing. On the contrary, old man Feng Ren looked pale. That attack of just now consumed a large amount of vitality and now he was like a withered lamp. ¡°This is just a phantom, Ye Chuan, that brat is coming again, be careful!¡± Many disciples of Five Style Sect were stunned, only old man Feng Ren reacted and screamed. But, just when he was about to command the disciples of Five Style Sect to arrange the sword formation again, a figure suddenly popped out and punched, then several dragons appeared out of the thin air and rushed towards Feng Ren with killing intent. Although they were all phantoms, they forced Feng Ren to use all his strength to defend. He was able to escape unscathed, but the dragon crystal had disappeared without a trace from his hand and had appeared on the hand of Ye Chuan. ¡°Brat, I will stake all against you!¡± Feng Ren was thoroughly driven mad, and he recklessly chased after Ye Chuan. Snatching two dragon crystals of before was fine, but now, even this little dragon crystal containing many impurities was snatched away, this was bullying intolerably! Who can endure it? Feng Ren was unable to control himself. He just chased after Ye Chuan even though he was already exhausted. Like previous two times, after smoothly snatching, Ye Chuan immediately fled, but this time, he had a little accident. The sect disciples and loose cultivators walking in the front suddenly triggered the restriction attracting a huge golden dragon, so the path ahead was blocked along with glint and flash of daggers and swords. If he continued to rush forward, he might be able to take advantage of the chaos to flee, but, there was a greater possibility of someone taking advantage of this chaos to make a surprise attack on him as lots of people already knew that he had snatched some dragon crystals. ¡°Hahaha, brat, let me see where you will run this time!¡± Feng Ren roared with laughter and ferociously pressed onward. And approaching closer, the number of wind blades around his body became more and more, preparing for a deadly attack. ¡°Old bastard, it¡¯s just a stone, why are you risking your life like this?¡± Ye Chuan turned around and seeing overbearing Feng Ren, he retreated a few steps back, standing at the edge of the Demonic Dragon Path, then he held the dragon crystal he had just obtain high in the air, assuming the posture of wanting to throw it into the poisonous mist. Now, this poisonous mist that could instantly corrode a person into a dead bone was only half-an-inch away from him. A slight carelessness could make him fall into this poisonous mist. ¡°Brat, are you threatening me?¡± Feng Ren quickly understood the meaning of Ye Chuan, then with a ferocious smile on his face, he suddenly rushed forward, ¡°Hahaha, brat, you are too inexperienced and too na?ve, are you using such a trifling dragon crystal to exchange for your life?¡± Feng Ren¡¯s killing intent soared. It was very hard to force Ye Chuan into a dead end, so he absolutely couldn¡¯t stop. If worst comes to worst, he could just give up that dragon crystal. After that, he could still hunt and kill other dragons looking for other dragon crystals. There were many chances in the future. The determined Feng Ren laughed but Ye Chuan also smiled, smiled coldly. Originally, he didn¡¯t want to reveal his secret of being able to walk through the poisonous mist without any major problems and also wasn¡¯t prepared to ruthlessly kill this old man Feng Ren, but, since this old fellow was courting death, he was forced to help him achieve his aim. Chapter 245: Third gate Chapter 245: Third gate Xiu, xiu, xiu, void breaking sounds suddenly resounded in the sky of Demonic Dragon Path as numerous wind blades shot towards Ye Chuan. The adventurers turned around to look and were shocked simultaneously. The human body of Ye Chuan once again stopped the attack of Feng Ren. His physical body was so tyrannical that Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong who devoted on tempering body was also shocked and startled to see this. ¡°Kill!¡± When the wind blades all over the sky stalled Ye Chuan, Feng Ren successfully rushed over to the front of Ye Chuan and ferociously palmed him. The body of Ye Chuan was very tough, even those sharp wind blades could do nothing about it, but this palm was powerful, profound and contained majestic dark energy. Even if the skin of Ye Chuan was tough and tensile, what about internal organs? Can they resist this violent internal energy? This palm with majestic power landed squarely on the chest of Ye Chuan, and the eyes of Feng Ren who was somewhat worried originally lit up as he roared with laughter. But, in the next moment, he suddenly couldn¡¯t laugh. As expected, Ye Chuan was sent flying towards the poisonous mist with his palm. If he fell inside this poisonous mist, then he would certainly die without any doubt, but, the moment Ye Chuan was sent flying, he extended his hand and firmly grabbed the wrist of old man Feng Ren, and two people flew towards the poisonous mist. At that moment, Feng Ren suddenly raised his head and saw a sneer on the face of Ye Chuan. At this moment, as if awakening from a dream, he realized that he had fallen into a trap, but it¡¯s too bad, it was already too late. This brat, he wants to perish together, truly is ruthless! The heart of Feng Ren trembled and suddenly regretted for being too reckless. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± A sad and shrill scream resounded from within the poisonous mist, and that terrifying poisonous mist seethed as if a boiling water. Feng Ren did his utmost to struggle, but he wasn¡¯t able to free himself from the grasp of Ye Chuan, and he could only look helplessly at his flesh and blood melting, revealing white bones. But, Ye Chuan who was similarly inside the poisonous mist was completely fine as if he wore an invisible armor that could resist the corrosion of this poisonous mist. This wasn¡¯t perishing together, this was a death trap! Ye Chuan, this brat did this intentionally! Seeing Ye Chuan was completely fine in the midst of poisonous mist, Feng Ren realized that he was wrong, and his mind was quickly occupied by boundless fear. ¡°No¡­¡­¡± Feng Ren didn¡¯t want to die. He issued an inhumane scream and obtaining the strength from who knows where, he suddenly struggle free from the grasp of Ye Chuan and rushed towards the Demonic Dragon Path outside this poisonous mist. Unfortunately, this poisonous mist was very powerful. It could corrode all things that have flesh and blood, even a Rank 4 Daoist Master realm expert couldn¡¯t survive the corrosion of this poisonous mist. The moment when Feng Ren was about to rush out of this poisonous mist, his final breath dispersed and collapsed to the ground. Only, his one hand was out of this poisonous mist. But, strictly speaking, this already wasn¡¯t a hand, rather a claw with only white bones. And that ring worn in the middle finger of this hand proved that identity of this remains. All sects¡¯ disciples and loose cultivators had their hair standing on end. The intensely seething poisonous mist gradually simmered down and became peaceful. There was no trace of Ye Chuan, seemingly, he had already died inside this poisonous mist. But recalling this matter, people still couldn¡¯t help but tremble with fear. Not only Ye Chuan killed Rank 3 Daoist Master Feng Ren being only Rank 7 Xiushi, such scheme, courage and boldness, who else can do that? Looking at the poisonous mist beside the road, the gaze of Tuoba Xiong become somewhat complicated. Ye Chuan finally died, seeing this, his heart felt stuffy and also relaxed. But, recalling his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao who was infatuated with Ye Chuan, furthermore, the amazing talent of Ye Chuan, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh secretly. It was a pity that such a talented youth was the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. If he was the disciple of Black Cauldron Sect, then how wonderful that would be? After resting for a moment, people set out once again. This time, Tuoba Xiong led Black Cauldron Sect in the front. Whenever any treasure appeared, he repeatedly snatched it first. Without Feng Ren, this old adversary, Tuoba Xiong discovered that everything was much easier. On the contrary, the situation of the disciples of Five Style Sect was anything but reassuring. After losing Feng Ren, this Daoist Master realm expert, the disciples of Five Style Sect quickly lost their power, and even repeatedly suffered the pressure of other powers, moreover, they frequently died. Some died under the claw of dragons, and some died struggling against other powers. The troops of adventurers had undergone great changes, but there was one thing that never changed. Whenever a dragon crystal appeared, everyone repeatedly fought to get the hold of it. After Ye Chuan died inside the poisonous mist, don¡¯t know when it began but a strange person with dragon head and human body appeared behind this group of people. His speed was very fast and his whereabouts was very erratic, but the most frightening thing was, he could freely walk through the poisonous mist. He didn¡¯t want any other treasures and also didn¡¯t seem to want to kill them, merely, he would seize all the dragon crystals that appeared along the road. ¡°Came, that guardian of paradise realm came again, it¡¯s a death curse!¡± ¡°Yes, it came again, what should we do?¡± Several experts of Long Clan screamed in fear, recalling the so-called death curse. The words of these people rapidly spread throughout the troops as if a plague, and everyone discussed about it with changed complexion. Afterward, when they see a dragon crystal falling from the remains of the huge dragon, they wouldn¡¯t dare to step forward to fight for it, instead, they would simply step back and leave so as to avoid being pulled into that terrifying poisonous mist by that strange person. The complexion of Tuoba Xiong was gloomy. He vaguely felt that the build of this strange person was somewhat familiar and quickly recalled Ye Chuan who had disappeared inside the poisonous mist, then he suspected that Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t died. But, after listening to the words of the experts of Long Clan, he couldn¡¯t help but toss that thought. The statues on both sides of Demonic Dragon Path would often change into true dragons and rush out. Every time, they appeared, they would give rise to a foul wind and rain of blood. Every time they walked a section ahead, they had to pay blood and lives as a price, as a result, the number of people were decreasing rapidly. After more than two hours, this group of people arrived at a small valley, and yet another gate dazzling with golden light appeared in front of them. At this moment, the number of people had already reduced to 60-70 people from several hundred. Now, merely seven disciples of Black Cauldron Sect remained at the side of Tuoba Xiong. As for the disciples of Five Style Sects, all of them were already annihilated completely. ¡°Ahead is the end of this paradise realm, this is the final gate of this Demonic Dragon Path, let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°The inheritance of this paradise realm is mine!¡± Seeing a layer upon layer of imperial palaces indistinctly appearing in the midst of grey mist in front of them, adventurers got excited, and then, forgetting the hardships and dangers they had suffered along the road, they strived to be the first to step into the third gate. Tuoba Xiong hesitated a little, and then, he also led several disciples of Black Cauldron Sect into that gate. Now, the heavy cauldron on his shoulders had many cracks. If he had to battle several ferocious dragons again, then smashing the other party, it might completely crack open and become a scrap. The poisonous mist on the left side of this Demonic Dragon Path suddenly rippled and seethed intensely, and then, a tall and a short, two figures came out. After a good while, after all the adventurers had disappeared, Ye Chuan finally walked out from inside the poisonous mist along with Little Long¡¯er, then carefully sized up the decorative patterns on the doorframe. After a while, Ye Chuan shook his head as he was still unable to make sense of what he was looking at, but, Little Long¡¯er was looking at it with relish and his eyes were shining. After entering this dangerous Demonic Dragon Path, not only this kind was never tired and sleepy, he instead was even more vigorous and his speed had become faster and faster, seemingly, the energy within his body was slowly activating and his cultivation was basically incomparable in this Wilderness World. Chapter 246: Da Qin Crown Prince Chapter 246: Da Qin Crown Prince Again waiting for a while, Ye Chuan left with Little Long¡¯er, entering the third gate of Demonic Dragon Path. A cold wind blew directly against his face. Ye Chuan was startled and felt uneasy in his heart. At first glance, this Demonic Magic Path and the path of before didn¡¯t have any difference, this path was also not wide and there was poisonous mist on both sides with towering dragon statues in its midst, but this place had more dangerous feeling which made people stop their steps instinctively. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, what is that?¡± Little Long¡¯er hid behind Ye Chuan and pointing towards the left side in front of them, he looked pale. Ye Chuan looked over and his complexion suddenly strained. Roughly 20 meters on the front-left side, in the midst of poisonous mist, there was a towering uncommon statue. It wasn¡¯t a huge and ferocious dragon, rather a human. His entire body was an ice-cold stone lump, but his hair and eyebrows were clearly visible, and his expression was lifelike. And upon closer look, he discovered that he was wearing the standard war robe of Black Cauldron Sect, shockingly was a disciple of Black Cauldron Sect. The master of this paradise realm left behind a statue of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s disciple in ancient times, was this possible? Ye Chuan was stunned, this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm was at least several million years old, at that time, did Black Cauldron Sect already exist? It was impossible for the master of this paradise realm to leave behind this human-shaped statue, then, how come it appeared here? A terrifying thought appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan then plucking up his courage, he walked forward. Sure enough, not long after, he saw several similar statues. Before, the poisonous mist in two sides of Demonic Dragon Path only corroded, it could corrode all living beings that had flesh and blood, but, after entering the third gate, this poisonous mist had become even more terrifying. It no longer corroded the human body, rather directly petrified humans. Before, if one carelessly fell into the poisonous mist, then one would have changed into a skeleton, now, one would change into a statue at two sides of this Demonic Dragon Path. After realizing this, his fine hair stood its end. As for Little Long¡¯er behind him, his teeth were already chattering. After looking all around, Ye Chuan suddenly bent over and picked up a knife fallen on the ground, then giving it to Little Long¡¯er, he said, ¡°Little Long¡¯er, I will test the poisonous mist of this place, you help me hold the lines. I will stick my finger into this poisonous to test, if I couldn¡¯t free himself, then immediately cut off my entire arm.¡± Ye Chuan took a deep breath and circulating Demonic Dragon Talisman within his body, his body glimmered with white light, then stretching the middle finger of his right hand, he slowly extended his hand towards this poisonous mist. Being able to walk freely inside the poisonous mist was Ye Chuan¡¯s greatest gain after entering the Demonic Dragon Path. It was also the greatest trump card when facing Tuoba Xiong and others. But, since the situation had changed, the front was dangerous and unfathomable, so he had to quickly be clear about the effect of this poisonous mist on himself, the faster the better. A faint tingling pain quickly came through his fingertip and the color of his fingertip quickly changed as a layer of grey mist completely covered it. Very quickly, the middle finger of his right hand become stiff, numb and ice-cold like a stone. The complexion of Ye Chuan became solemn. The change in his finger verified his conjecture of before. Fortunately, this terrifying poisonous mist didn¡¯t spread along the middle finger of his right hand. Although it was stiff and numb, he could still feel his finger and also could move it slightly. In the short period of time, it seemed he wouldn¡¯t be completely petrified. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, let me try.¡± Little Long¡¯er suddenly stepped into the poisonous mist, and he was completely covered with a layer of grey mist, but, to the surprise of Ye Chuan, he could move freely without any effect, moreover, the energy fluctuation within his body rose steadily. More powerful poisonous mist seemed to stimulate his potential even more, rapidly increasing his power. Demonic Dragon Body! This was the true Demonic Dragon Body, can it be¡­¡­ Ye Chuan was shocked and suddenly had a thought. After refining a drop of Demonic Dragon Blood, he condensed a Demonic Dragon Talisman, furthermore, refining many dragon crystals, he obtained a tyrannical body, but, it was still difficult to freely move within the poisonous mist. But, Little Long¡¯er innately didn¡¯t fear the corrosion of poisonous mist, this clearly showed that he possessed a unique innate skill. Only the Demonic Dragon who built this paradise realm might be so! Ye Chuan boldly stood up and like little Long¡¯er, he walked into the poisonous mist, and after repeatedly testing how long he could stay within this poisonous mist, he continued on the journey. The Demonic Dragon Path behind the third gate was more dangerous compared to before. All along the road, Ye Chuan saw the corpses of many adventurers. Among them, there was no lack of familiar faces. Many sects¡¯ disciples and loose cultivators had died here. After walking quickly for an hour, he could finally hear the screaming and fighting sounds in the front. He finally caught up to the large army in the front. Then, quickening his step, he saw Tuoba Xiong and other in the front. This was a valley. Demonic Dragon Path extended to this place with a wide terrain. The sky of this valley was enveloped in a grey mist, but compared to the poisonous mist of Demonic Dragon Path, this mist was different. It wasn¡¯t harmful, merely affected the line of vision. At one glance, there were only a dozen people including Tuoba Xiong in the front. There was not even a single disciple of Black Cauldron Sect, only Tuoba Xiong was left alone. And among the experts of capital¡¯s Long Clan, only Long San remained. Moreover, at this moment, several ferocious dragons were besieging this crowd of uninvited guests. And at the distance place, there seemed to be lots of people, moreover, all of them were experts, but, because of the thick mist in the air, it was unclear who they were. Roar, a true earth dragon suddenly soared and opening its mouth, it bit an adventurer, then walked away, returning to the poisonous mist at the side of this Demonic Dragon Path, then one man one dragon, both of them quickly changed into ice-cold statues. Tuoba Xiong, Long San and others quickly gathered together back to back. Each and every one of them looked pale. As for Ye Chuan who was looking everything from a distant place, his heart was in jitters. They similarly were statues, but the dragons of this place were clearly different. They were very intelligent, actually could understand besieging and had the sense of propriety. How were they statues? They were clearly the true dragons that were temporarily frozen and petrified. When they had a chance, they might rush out, becoming ancient yao beasts that broke the prohibition against taking life! Along with ear-deafening dragon roars coming in succession, the figures of the distant place rapidly approached. There were not many people in this group, only 20-30 people. There were aloof loose cultivators, sects¡¯ experts wearing standard battle armor, and furthermore, a group of people wearing uniform cyan armor clustered around a youth wearing a purple robe. This youth was tall and imposing, and his energy fluctuation was even more outstanding. He had the cultivation realm of Rank 7 Daoist Master. With a single slap, he sent a dragon that was rushing towards him flying. His strength was amazing. Seeing a group of experts had arrived, the eyes of Tuoba Xiong and others shone as they sighed in relief, but, in the next moment, no-one could be happy. A group of ferocious golden dragons was rushing behind this group of experts. There were more than a dozen of them and they were chasing after this group of experts with soaring killing intent. They appeared as if they wouldn¡¯t stop unless they died. It seemed this group of experts seized some treasure, thus, that group of ferocious golden dragons wanted to tear them into pieces. ¡°Be careful, that golden dragon king is coming!¡± ¡°Protect crown prince, all warriors of my Da Qin, listen to my command, protect crown prince!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­. The complexion of those experts was tense. They retreated while tightly protecting that purple robed youth. On the waist of everyone, a piece of heavy golden waist tablet was hung. Above that golden waist tablet, special Azure Dragon insignia of Da Qin Dynasty¡¯s imperial family was carved. Da Qin Crown Prince? Did Da Qin Dynasty who had great influence in this world also sent someone to try to seize the inheritance of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm? Ye Chuan frowned and became all the more careful. Then, along with little Long¡¯er, he quietly watched the battle and changes from a distance place. Chapter 247: Julong Pagoda Chapter 247: Julong Pagoda In the midst of thick fog, shadows of human figures swayed frequently, and people retreated from the front in succession. Behind them, huge dragons were chasing them. The pressure on Tuoba Xiong and others suddenly increased, thus, they had no choice but to go all out to meet the enemies. The group of Da Qin Crown Prince attracted most of the dragons, and those dragons were ferocious and tough too, but, fortunately, the strength of their group was also sufficiently strong. More than ten people stood out and joined hands to kill dragons. Frequently, sad and shrill cries resounded as someone fell to the ground and died. There were also dragons falling to the ground with a bang. A group of experts wearing a big bamboo hat suddenly came out from the fog and joined the battle. Although there were only five of them, their combat power was especially fierce. There was a 7-8 meters tall fellow, he could tear a dragon into two half with his bare hand. Very quickly, the number of dragons that were besieging everyone became fewer and fewer. In the end, after a sad wail, that especially huge leader Golden Dragon King turned around and fled into the depths of the thick fog. ¡°Eh, Kumu warrior, Tain Ku? Furthermore¡­¡­¡± After the battle gradually calmed down, Ye Chuan discovered several familiar figures. Kumu warrior Tian Ku was among them, and the person standing beside him was none other than Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who had angrily returned to Heavenly Yao Sect. After the paradise realm came up out of the ground, Heavenly Yao Sect that was known as the peerless sect also couldn¡¯t control themselves. Aloof and refined Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia personally led a group of people to enter this paradise realm. After the battle was resolved, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia led several experts of Heavenly Yao Sect to one side to have a rest. On the other side, tall and sturdy Da Qin Crown Prince led numerous followers to surround two loose cultivators whose face was covered with a black cloth, and his killing intent soared. ¡°You two even dared to snatch the thing of this crown prince, your guts is truly big. You have guts to snatch Julong Pagoda, but don¡¯t have the guts to show your face?¡± The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince was ice-cold and his momentum was threatening as he suddenly said, ¡°Say, who exactly are you two? If you two are sensible, then quickly hand over Julong Pagoda and cut off one of your arms to make a formal apology, otherwise, you two are dead and the sect behind you two will also be annihilated! No matter how big or how powerful and prosperous your sect is, it will fall apart under the trampling of my Da Qin army!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince coldly boasted, but his energy fluctuation was incomparably tyrannical as he simply had enough capital to be this wildly arrogant. There were many experts of sects on the scene, and hearing his words, their complexion became ghastly pale, but no one dare to step forward and argue with him after sensing that tyrannical energy fluctuation of Da Qin Crown Prince. ¡°Such a big tone, granted that you don¡¯t put my Cloud Mist Sect in your eyes, but do you think a trifling crown prince can annihilate Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± The two masked man looked at each other and then took off the black cloth covering their face, coldly confronting the pressure of Da Qin Crown Prince. Both of them had a tall and big figure, one had a purplish red beard and his skin was dry. He held a three feet tall golden little pagoda; as for the other one, he was three meters tall, and a pair of horns could be seen vaguely on his head. Although their cultivation was not so tyrannical like Da Qin Crown Prince, they also were Rank 5 Daoist master realm experts. Flame Devil Yi Yanzi and Horned Demon Na Gusi? The eyes of Ye Chuan shone. He hadn¡¯t expected that he would actually meet them in this place. He wanted to rush over to join them, but suddenly thinking about something, he continued to hide behind the rock. ¡°Heavenly Yao Sect is Heavenly Yao Sect, can an unqualified sect like yours compare with them? Give up, don¡¯t imagine that it¡¯s possible to drag Heavenly Yao Sect in this matter. No one can save you two.¡± Da Qin Crown Prince coldly smiled and taking a step forward, he aggressively said, ¡°Very long time ago, Cloud Mist Sect was very powerful, but now, I¡¯m afraid it is unworthy to be called even the third-rate sect. Believe it or not, this crown prince¡¯s one command can exterminate your Cloud Mist Sect without leaving a single survivor.¡± The killing intent of Da Qin Crown Prince soared and looking at that small golden pagoda in the hand of Flame Devil, his eyes shone. This Julong Pagoda was discovered among a group of dragon statues. Its value was far above ordinary dragon crystals. It was very hard to obtain. To obtain this, several later stage Daoist Master realm experts had to join hands to attract that strong Golden Dragon King. Unexpectedly, before they could return, Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi successfully obtained it. ¡°The current Cloud Mist Sect is not up to much, but Your Highness Crown Prince shouldn¡¯t forget that Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect have an ancient treaty of alliance. Ever since ancient times, they have the agreement of advancing and retreating together. If you want to exterminate my Cloud Mist Sect, let alone you, a trifling crown prince, even Da Qin King also doesn¡¯t have such guts and ability.¡± Flame Devil directly confronted the pressure of Da Qin Crown Prince, and looking towards not far away Heavenly Maiden, he said, ¡°Your Excellency Heavenly Maiden, do you all truly want to look on with folded arms? This old servant served Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan for many years, I am his only trusted aide and confidant, if you all just kept on looking without trying to save me, then in the future, how will Your Excellency Heavenly Maiden explain to Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan?¡± Flame Devil knew that he wasn¡¯t the opponent of this Da Qin Crown Prince, in addition, Horned Demon Na Gusi also was useless, not to mention the other party had surrounded them with a large group of experts. If they fought recklessly, then they were sure to be defeated, so he was forced to use the name of Ye Chuan to ask Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and her group to come to the rescue. Among the experts of sects and loose cultivators present on the scene, only Heavenly Maiden and her group might be able to suppress this Da Qin Crown Prince who considered everyone beneath his notice. There were not many experts on the side of Heavenly Maiden, but each of them was elite of Heavenly Yao Sect and their energy fluctuation was very powerful. The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince slightly changed, now, he truly had misgivings. If Heavenly Maiden and her group attacked, then that would be troublesome. All people simultaneously looked towards Heavenly Maiden wearing a big bamboo hat, and were secretly looking forward to a world-shaking battle. Legend says that Julong Pagoda could command a group of dragons, so who didn¡¯t desire to obtain it? But, only when both Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince suffered losses, they would have an opportunity. Flame Devil was uncommunicative in former days, but at the crucial moment, his words were sharp. He knew how to borrow power. Unfortunately, he was disappointed very soon as Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was still motionless without any intention to move. Few words could move other people but not Heavenly Maiden. Under the spacious big bamboo hat, she had an ice-cold face without the slightest emotion. Her face was exquisite but cold like a glacier. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, I said no one can save you two. Taste the power of my Da Qin Dynasty¡¯s Emperor Fist and die!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince roared with laughter and he personally rushed towards Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. He also didn¡¯t use his killing weapon, instead attack with his palms. The body of both Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi sunk at the same time and the energy within their body became chaotic. Instantly, as if suffering an innate pressure, they couldn¡¯t even condense their energy. Emperor Fist! The overbearing Da Qin Crown Prince attacked using the unique technique and his killing intent surged. Emperor Fist, this technique was the crystallization of the hard work of Da Qin Dynasty for several hundred years. Generation after generation, Da Qin Kings invited countless experts to gather together. According to the rumor, even an expert from beyond the highest heaven had participated in that gathering, and after several hundred years, they finally created this uncommon technique. This technique was monopolized by the imperial family and it was custom made to restrain all ordinary techniques of the sects. Once this technique was used, it innately suppressed the power of the opponent. Numerous sect disciples and loose cultivators breathe heavily and look at this scene without blinking their eyes. Even Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was the same. Seeing the move of Da Qin Crown Prince, she became solemn. Chapter 248: Formidable opponent Chapter 248: Formidable opponent Suddenly a triangular thorn appeared in the hands of Horned Demon Na Gusi, and 3 zhang flame appeared on the palm of Flame Devil. They, one on the left and the other on the right, received the incoming attack. After surviving in this paradise realm for so long, the cooperation of these two people had become more and more well-coordinated. The three figures ferociously collided. Da Qin Crown Prince still stood proudly with only a small burn mark on his sleeve. As for Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi, they stood unstably and simultaneously vomited a mouthful of blood. In that head-on collision, Da Qin Crown Prince inflicted heavy damage on them. The onlookers became rather restless and their complexion changed. The complexion of Ye Chuan also changed. Others didn¡¯t know the strength of Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi, but he knew it very clearly. Even with the cooperation of two Rank 5 Daoist Master realm experts, they unexpectedly were unable to stop and single attack. How powerful was this Da Qin Crown Prince? Ye Chuan stood still and continued to hide behind the stone, then circulating six Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he secretly prepared a deadly move. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, go and hide in the poisonous mist.¡± ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, what about you?¡± Little Long¡¯er was nervous and restless. The strength of Da Qin Crown Prince was far higher than all the experts they had encountered before. Even if many ordinary dragons attacked him, they might not be sufficient to kill him. If Ye Chuan rushed up, then wasn¡¯t that just courting death? Little Long¡¯er however was not stupid, he quickly understood the meaning of Ye Chuan. ¡°I have the sense of propriety, Little Long¡¯er, go away. Be sure to hide within the poisonous mist and provide support from inside, okay?¡± Ye Chuan stroke the head of Little Long¡¯er and gave him a mission. ¡°Okay, big brother, be careful!¡± Little Long¡¯er didn¡¯t speak anymore, he turned around and entered the poisonous mist. In the front, the situation was getting worse. Overbearing Da Qin Crown Prince led his numerous followers in forming a semi-circular formation and forced Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi to a dead end. Now, behind them, there was a seething poisonous mist, and they no longer had any retreat route. ¡°Handover the Julong Pagoda and cut off your arm. This is the final chance.¡± Da Qin Crown Prince said without any expression and his energy fluctuation steadily rose. This Emperor Fist technique primarily focused on the word ¡®Emperor¡¯ and needed domineering air and confidence. Even if an average person obtained this technique, most of them would not be able to learn it as they didn¡¯t have the innate domineering air of imperial family. Even among the numerous princes, and imperial grandchildren of Da Qing King, there were not many that could successfully cultivate this technique. Only Da Qin Crown Prince who had great ambition and dream to become the next generation Da Qin King was able to achieve success in the cultivation of this technique with great difficulty. It was said that only the current Da Qin King was able to truly achieve great success everywhere under the sun in the cultivation of this technique. Moreover, his cultivation had already reached unfathomable realm too. Because of that, after uprooting all other secular dynasties, this emperor of the secular world became very ambitious and attempted to dip his finger in cultivation sects. ¡°Kill!¡± Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi looked at each other, then gritting their teeth, they rushed forward once again. Since they had no retreat route, they could only fight desperately. It was very hard to obtain this Julong Pagoda, so these two naturally will not hand it over. Moreover, no need to mention about handing over Julong Pagoda, he also wanted them to cut off their one arm, who can accept this? After cutting one arm off, they could use at most only half of their cultivation, moreover, they were seriously injured. And in the future, even if this Da Qin Crown Prince kept the promise and no longer make things difficult for them, they would not be able to cope with the dangers of this paradise realm. As a result, sooner or later, they would meet their doom. Since they would die in any case, why not break the cauldrons and sink the boats! Flame Devil Yi Yanzi emitted scorching hot flame from all his pores, and his entire body was wrapped up in a flame, as if the legendary flame man, moreover, rolling head waves spread all around. As for Horned Demon Na Gusi, his body shook and swelled, becoming nearly 5 meters giant, and with a curved dragon horn appearing on his head, the energy fluctuation within his body rapidly soared. Then, two people, one on the left and the other on the right, attacked Da Qin Crown Prince regardless of their safety. Both Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi were ready to risk everything. Facing the danger, they went all out to display their respective deadly move. ¡°Overestimating yourselves!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince coldly snorted and taking a step forward, he punched again. Bo! An ear-piercing sonic boom resounded in the air. The scorching hot flames around Flame Devil suddenly flickered backward and its temperature was also unable to reach Da Qin Crown Prince. As for Horned Demon Na Gusi, he directly attacked with his head, and that horn on his forehead which was sharper than the triangular thorn happened to collide against the fist of Da Qin Crown Prince. And the result of this collision was, the fist of Da Qin Crown Prince wasn¡¯t pierced through, on the contrary, the horn on the forehead of Horned Demon Na Gusi was broken. Then, along with dong, dong sounds, two people were punched in the chest and were sent flying. And just after they fell to the ground, before they had any time to stand up, Da Qin Crown Prince was already holding their heads. As long as he put forth his strength, two Rank 5 Daoist Master realm experts would have their head crushed and die. Powerful! When did the crown prince of Da Qin Dynasty become so powerful? The complexion of onlooking sects¡¯ disciples and loose cultivators become tense and a trace of uneasiness and fear flashed through their eyes. It was absolutely not a good thing for cultivators if Da Qin Dynasty becomes even more powerful. Once the secular world and cultivating sects come under the control of Da Qin Dynasty, perhaps, Wilderness World would welcome a section of incomparably ferocious and dark age. After that, everyone should tremble under the troops of Da Qin King. ¡°Are the people known as the super experts of Cloud Mist Sect only this powerful? It seems that the ancient Cloud Mist Sect truly has no qualified successors to carry on its undertaking, there is no need for such sect to continue to exist, hahahaha¡­¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince roared with laughter, ignoring the expression of the sect disciples and loose cultivators. Although his arrogance made people angry, but he had enough capability to be arrogant. Even Tuoba Xiong, this fierce and ambitious person didn¡¯t dare to speak. He wisely stood among the crowd, playing safe to protect himself. ¡°This crown prince gave you two a path to survive, but you two didn¡¯t take it and made this crown prince personally make a move. Now, what do you two have to say?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince retracted his laughter and coldly looking at Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi that didn¡¯t dare to move, a trace of disdain as well as the expression of a cat that had caught mouse appeared on his face. ¡°Attack and kill us. Someone will avenge us.¡± Flame Devil would rather die than submit. He held his head high and ferociously stared at Da Qin Crown Prince. Da Qin Crown Prince was somewhat surprised. ¡°Oh, who is it? In your Cloud Mist Sect, who has the ability to avenge you two? Is it your Great Elder Zhuo Guohong who has gone to the capital to plead or Sect Master Yun Feiwu who has gone missing for many years without any news?¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, Ye Chuan!¡± Flame Devil replied. After entering the paradise realm, they two had lost the contact with Ye Chuan and they were taken to a different place by the restriction of this paradise realm. Until now, they had no idea where Ye Chuan was, but, Flame Devil knew that if he and Horned Demon Na Gusi died here, Ye Chuan will definitely take revenge for them. Let alone a trifling Da Qin Crown Prince, even if Da Qin King himself was the one who killed them, Ye Chuan will never let him off! ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince roared with laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. ¡°What a joke, a young disciple of a third-rate sect will take revenge for you two, relying on what? Even if your Great Elder and Sect Master come personally, they will be unable to stop this crown prince¡¯s fist, this so-called Big Senior Apprentice Brother, he is not qualified to even carry my shoes, how will he take revenge? Hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince laughed heartily without any misgiving and putting forth his strength, just when he was about to kill Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi, he suddenly sensed something. So, turning around to look, he saw a youth walking out from behind a stone enveloped by the gray mist. Chapter 249: Domineering air Chapter 249: Domineering air Since the circumstance had changed, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have time to secretly launch a surprise attack from within the poisonous mist at the side of Demonic Dragon Path, so he directly walked out openly. Although his cultivation appeared low, for an unknown reason, he was giving a dangerous feeling. Everyone could feel the dangerous aura emitted by six Heaven Swallowing Talismans within the body of Ye Chuan. All the people who were able to arrive here were experts, and they possessed sharp sense and instinct. ¡°Noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi exclaimed simultaneously with excitement and their eyes shone. Since all the onlooking adventurers didn¡¯t make a move to help them, they two had thought that they would die this time. But, to their surprise, Ye Chuan, who was missing without any news after they entered this paradise realm, suddenly appeared here. Ye Chuan continued to walk forward. His complexion was calm and his steps were steady. He had already restrained his energy fluctuation and the aura of several Heaven Swallowing Talismans, but his expression of facing danger fearlessly and the killing intent that he emitted unconsciously made people apprehensive in secret. Especially Tuoba Xiong, closely watching at Ye Chuan, he was shocked. He unexpectedly discovered that every time he met Ye Chuan, his temperament differ to some extent. Recalling the first meeting, when he led a large group of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s disciples to make a show of his strength, Ye Chuan was merely a worthless Wuzhe. He had yet to break through to Xiushi realm. He could have easily crushed him to death with a finger. Later, in the three sect¡¯s Great Competition, Ye Chuan began to gradually show his brilliance, but his cultivation was still not outstanding. And now, although he had yet to break through to Daoist Master realm, don¡¯t know from when, he unexpectedly began to give people an unfathomable and hard to defeat feeling. Moreover, his cultivation speed too, wasn¡¯t that honestly too fast? Tuoba Xiong didn¡¯t utter a single word and suddenly had a powerless feeling. Not because the cultivation speed of Ye Chuan was too fast rather because Ye Chuan was comparatively much younger, and since he was old, he was unable to keep up with the changes of Wilderness World. ¡°Boy, are you Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince quickly guessed the identity of Ye Chuan. And feeling the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan, he was somewhat confused. He didn¡¯t know where this dangerous feeling was coming from, but he still looked down upon him. Ye Chuan had not shown himself all the way, so he still had little misgivings, thinking there were many people with him. Only after Ye Chuan arrived in front of him, his heart was free from anxiety. Only a young disciple with Rank 7 Xiushi realm cultivation, even if he had a unique ability, how big could his means be? Even Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi, these two Rank 5 Daoist Master realm experts were able to withstand a single blow, how could this trifling Rank 7 Xiushi change the situation? Da Qin Crown Prince smiled, coldly smile and ferociously looked ahead. Ye Chuan had come at just the right time. Now, he could catch the whole lot in a dragnet so as to avoid leaving a future trouble. And without waiting for the answer of Ye Chuan, he suddenly put forth strength in his hands to kill both Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. ¡°Hahaha, boy, you have come at just the right time, you three can go together on your way so as to not waste the time of this crown prince, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan suddenly dimmed and disappeared right before the eyes of everyone. In the next moment, using Peerless Style Technique, he bypassed the guards behind Da Qin Crown Prince, directly appearing in front of this Da Qin Crown Prince who considered himself the best in the world. Then, he ferociously punched. This punch appeared nothing special, and the strength behind this punch was also not violent like that of Emperor Fist of Da Qin Crown Prince, but the pupils of everyone shrunk all of a sudden. When Ye Chuan punched, seven and eight dragons unexpectedly appeared in the air and pounced towards Da Qin Crown Prince along with dragon roars. If the latter continued to put forth the strength to kill Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi, then he himself might also get injured. This punch of Ye Chuan came too quickly and too unexpectedly, the experts around Da Qin Crown Prince basically didn¡¯t have time to react. The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince become cold. He had no choice but to give up killing Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. Then, taking a step ahead, he also similarly punched, confronting the tough with toughness. An ear deafening colliding sound resounded, and the shockwave of this collision made people unable to open their eyes. The dragon phantoms in the air completely vanished and Ye Chuan let out a muffled groan as a blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth. He was clearly not the opponent of Da Qin Crown Prince in a one on one fight. The experts at the side of Da Qin Crown Prince rushed up, wanting to take advantage of this occasion to catch Ye Chuan alive, but to their surprise, Ye Chuan before them disappeared once again. Then along with a cold wind, he appeared behind Da Qin Crown Prince along with wounded Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. Da Qin Crown Prince turned around and coldly looking at Ye Chuan, he coldly said, ¡°Not bad, although your cultivation is not up to much, you have cultivated this style technique to the acme of perfection, deserved to be called the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. But, with only this small skill, boy, you are still far from being qualified to fight against this crown prince. Give yourself a favor and stretch your neck to accept death, hahahaha¡­..¡± Da Qin Crown Prince roared with laughter but his handsome face became more and more ferocious. Just now he was unguarded so Ye Chuan was able to launch a surprise attack using Peerless Style Technique, but now that he was alert, the situation changed. The experts of the imperial palace around him didn¡¯t need to make a move, he alone could easily kill Ye Chuan and the other two. Suddenly, dazzling cyan lights flashed in front of people in succession. Suddenly, one human faced snakes appeared at the side of Ye Chuan, then two, thee¡­¡­, in an instant, 12 ferocious and frightening human faced snake guardians appeared at the side of Ye Chuan. The aura of these human faced snakes wasn¡¯t ferocious like the aura of dragon statues on this Demonic Dragon Path, but human faced snakes appeared even stranger. Just looking at their continuously swaying body, people felt jumpy. This¡­¡­, weren¡¯t these human faced snakes that appeared in Ghost King Chessboard? How could they appear here and heed the order of Ye Chuan? The adventurers that had experienced Ghost King Chessboard were alarmed, and simultaneously had their eyes wide open in shock. Tuoba Xiong was also similar. The laughter of Da Qin Crown Prince ceased abruptly. He felt strong danger from these 12 human faced snakes. It was easy to forcibly kill Ye Chuan and the other two with the help of numerous experts of the imperial palace, but confronting the desperate counter-attack of Ye Chuan and others, he feared that they might suffer heavy injuries. In this dangerous and unfathomable paradise realm, losing a large number of experts was a heavy damage. Da Qin Crown Prince began to hesitate. His objective was Julong Pagoda in the hand of Flame Devil, and it was naturally the best if he could eliminate both Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi, but it was not worth paying a heavy price. Who was Ye Chuan? With a single glance, he was able to see through the thoughts of Da Qin Crown Prince. ¡°Your Highness, in these last few years, my Cloud Mist Sect is not particularly good, and my sect naturally cannot compare to your Da Qin Dynasty. But, even rabbit bites when in danger, so don¡¯t push people too hard. How about forgetting this matter in just this fashion and keep ourselves out of each other¡¯s affairs hereafter?¡± ¡°Forget it?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince raised his eyebrows and his killing intent soared all of a sudden. ¡°I was lucky enough to pick up some treasures in this paradise realm, I will give all of them to you, how about it?¡± Ye Chuan reached out and took out several dragon crystals he had yet to refine, and continuing to show the weakness, he retreated in order to advance. The eyes of onlooking adventures shone. After coming all the way here, who didn¡¯t understand the value and rareness of these dragon crystals? Flame Devil anxiously said, ¡°Noble son Ye, you can run by yourself, leave us¡­¡­¡± Flame Devil wanted to say something, but Ye Chuan waved his hand to stop him, and he quietly watched this overbearing Da Qin Crown Prince. The latter greedily looked at the dragon crystals in the hands of Ye Chuan. Then, taking a step ahead, his energy fluctuation and killing intent suddenly rose, pressuring Ye Chuan. ¡°Boy, how is this so cheap? I want these dragon crystals, and Julong Pagoda is also mine, moreover, I also want the life of you three, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince laughed and after weighing the advantage and disadvantage, he made a decision, He immediately led numerous experts of imperial palace towards Ye Chuan. A thrilling battle was about to erupt! The onlooking adventurers retreated in succession. They retreated far away and watch the circumstance without even blinking their eyes. They were waiting to see a splendid and intense battle. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was wearing a big bamboo hat didn¡¯t utter a single word and she also had no intention to help. Chapter 250: Give you this treasure Chapter 250: Give you this treasure Da Qin Crown Prince was greedy and overbearing. He directly led numerous experts of imperial palace to press forward. The onlooking crowds didn¡¯t utter a word and they didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily. Flame Devil and Horned Demonic Na Gusi were also nervous. Once Da Qin Crown Prince attacked them regardless of everything, then their party of three might be completely wiped out, and even Ye Chuan might not be able to escape unscathed. ¡°Slow down!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly shouted and looking towards Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia not far away on the sidelines, he said, ¡°Zixia girl, are you truly not helping? In such a short period of time, did you forget our Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s oath of alliance and also forget the entrustment of Heavenly Empress? I know, you are very sad for that day inside the cave, but as a man of character, I will do what I said, I will definitely take responsibility.¡± Since he ran into the group of Heavenly Yao Sect led by Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia in this place by coincidence, Ye Chuan would naturally not miss the opportunity to make full use of it. Female sea demon Hai Lili¡¯s innate skill was very powerful. Using it suddenly, even Da Qin Crown Prince might be affected, but, after it was exposed, it wouldn¡¯t be as effective, and it also wasn¡¯t the time to summon her. Da Qin Crown Prince suddenly stopped, and all people simultaneously looked towards Heavenly Maiden wearing a big bamboo hat. Who was Heavenly Maiden? Even in Heavenly Yao Sect that was known as the unequaled sect, she was only below a single person and above many people. Da Qin Crown Prince dared to make impertinent remarks with disdain, but it was different when it comes to Heavenly Yao Sect. Among the numerous forces present on the scene, he had most misgivings towards Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s group. If Heavenly Maiden and Ye Chuan joined hands, then that would be anything but reassuring. Heavenly Maiden of every generation, all were aloof, refined and remote, but hearing the words of Ye Chuan, it appeared as if the friendship of Heavenly Maiden and Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t that shallow or subtle relations, what was going on here? Facing everyone¡¯s suspicious gaze, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s face became rosy and lost the control of her feelings. Even if the greater part of her face was blocked with that spacious big bamboo hat, one could vaguely see her redness. ¡°Ye Chuan, shut up for me, who want you to take whatever responsibility? You courted death by yourself, don¡¯t drag my Heavenly Yao Sect!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was furious. Ye Chuan however just smiled without any objection and quietly, taking out two medicinal pills, he threw them to Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. These two were the first-rate Pei Yuan Pills. They can rapidly heal wounds. Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi caught and then swallowed them. Then, they took advantage of this occasion to heal their injuries and conserve their strength, preparing their respective strongest attack. ¡°Heh heh, boy, do you think you can be the fox that borrows the tiger¡¯s ferociousness? Now, what else can you do? Feel free to try them out.¡± Da Qin Crown Prince sneered and continued to press forward. In the hands of Ye Chuan, suddenly a heavy pill furnace appeared and a flame soared towards the sky, which sent out heat waves all around. Heaven Burning Furnace? The complexion of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia changed and she indistinctly felt ill at ease. Taking out Heaven Burning Furnace at this moment, what does Ye Chuan want to do? Does he truly want to go all out against Da Qin Crown Prince? Da Qin Crown Prince stopped his footsteps once again and his complexion became solemn as he sensed a danger from Heaven Burning Furnace. ¡°Your Highness, this is the Heaven Burning Furnace that suppressed the fate of Heavenly Yao Sect. This pill furnace is of little use to me, but it is different in the hands of a competent expert. How about I give this treasure to you and hereafter, we keep out of each other¡¯s¡¯ affairs?¡± Ye Chuan said something startling. The gaze of Da Qin Crown Prince quickly became scorching hot. Such a peerless treasure, its value is absolutely far above the Julong Pagoda, moreover, it would have extraordinary significance if Da Qin Dynasty possessed it. With Heaven Burning Furnace, the reputation of Da Qin Dynasty would undoubtedly shake the world and the unequalled sect Heavenly Yao Sect would definitely receive a hard hit, and perhaps, from that time on, it would walk on the path of decline, and it would no longer be able to lead numerous cultivation sects, then it would no longer be able to contend against Da Qin Dynasty. Da Qin Crown Prince began to hesitate and his complexion became indefinite, but his gaze became hotter and hotter. Not far away, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia however was unable to stand still. Leading several experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, she strode forward and said, ¡°Ye Chuan, what do you think you are doing? Is this how you keep the promise?¡± This time, the objective of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia for coming to this paradise realm was to seize the inheritance of this paradise realm, but seeing Ye Chuan wanted to gift her sect¡¯s defining treasure, she could no longer stay calm and collected. The things in the hands of Ye Chuan could be retrieved at any time, but if it falls into the hands of Da Qing King, then it was a different matter. If her Master White Haired Heavenly Empress knew that, then she would definitely be furious. ¡°Zixia girl, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to keep my promise, merely, I truly cannot keep this treasure. When people die, how can they safe-keep their treasure? Ai, it¡¯s because I don¡¯t have the ability, I let down Heavenly Empress¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and pretended that he was about to throw the Heaven Burning Furnace towards Da Qin Crown Prince. ¡°Hahaha, this furnace is not bad, boy, give it to me!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince roared with laughter and he suddenly rushed towards Ye Chuan, wanting to snatch Heaven Burning Furnace from Ye Chuan so as to avoid troubles that might appear due to a long delay. Ye Chuan stood still without any intention to dodge and he even extended his hands to hand over the Heaven Burning Furnace with a pair of gentleman looks. ¡°Stop!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia stamped her feet and she was very furious, but she had no choice but to rush over to the front of Ye Chuan to stop incoming Da Qin Crown Prince. Suddenly, a seven-colored halo appeared on the back of her head and majestic energy fluctuation erupted from within her body. Bo! A muffled sound resounded as Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and Da Qin Crown Prince collided against each other. Both parties retreated a step back, unexpectedly were evenly matched. The long hair of Da Qin Crown Prince was in a mess, and the big bamboo hat worn by Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was sent flying by the invisible shockwave, revealing her pure and noble exquisite face. Her slender neck, exquisite and lovely facial features, furthermore, that aloof and refined temperament stunned all people. Even Da Qin Crown Prince who had seen many beauties also become absent-minded beyond his control. All knew that every generation heavenly maiden had an outstanding appearance, but, Heavenly Maiden Zixia without big bamboo hat still made people feel that she was exceptionally beautiful. ¡°Thank you, Zixia girl, I knew it, you cannot bear to let me die here.¡± Ye Chuan suddenly put away Heaven Burning Furnace with a smile. Since Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia made a move, now, he was certain that he could use the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect and there was no need to have a last-ditch struggle. ¡°Boy, you¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince came back to his senses, then gnashed his teeth with a cloudy complexion as he understood that he had fallen into the trap of Ye Chuan. Moreover, he also became fully aware that Ye Chuan succeeded in dragging Heavenly Yao Sect into this muddy water. This brat was truly shameless. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was also glaring hatefully at Ye Chuan while gritting her teeth. She had thought to take advantage of this occasion to take back Heaven Burning Furnace and save herself from the troubles of the future, but, who would have thought that, Ye Chuan, this brat was so shrewd. He was even more cunning compared to a ten thousand years old fox. ¡°Well, I promised Heavenly Empress to personally return this Heaven Burning Furnace to her, since I have said that, I will do so. Your Highness, I apologize.¡± Ye Chuan evilly smiled and looking at Da Qin Crown Prince who was on the verge of going out of control, he suddenly took Julong Pagoda in the hand of Flame Devil, then holding it high in the air, he threw it far into the poisonous mist and said, ¡°Your Highness, were you demanding this whatever Julong Pagoda? Fine, since my Cloud Mist Sect cannot contend against you, whoever wants it, they can take it away.¡± Beyond all expectations, Ye Chuan suddenly threw the Julong Pagoda before the eyes of everyone, secretly signaling Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi to not agitate. After that, under the protection of 12 human faced snakes, they slowly retreated. The eyes of Da Qin Crown Prince flashed with ominous glint and he was unwilling to let Ye Chuan go just like this, but looking at the vaguely visible Julong Pagoda in the midst of poisonous mist, he hesitated again. Was it important to chase and kill Ye Chuan or to seize that Julong Pagoda? The answer was self-evident, Da Qin Crown Prince quickly made the decision, and at the same time, he also felt heavy pressure. Not only Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, even the onlooking crowd were ready to make trouble, and they completely ignored Ye Chuan and others as they stared at that vaguely visible Julong Pagoda in the midst of poisonous mist. It would appear that the action of Ye Chuan taking the initiative to dispose of Julong Pagoda was extremely rash, but in fact, it was a careful consideration. He cunningly transferred the attention and contradiction of people. Compared to the real inheritance of this paradise realm, what was Julong Pagoda? Moreover, throwing it into the poisonous mist didn¡¯t truly count as a loss! Ye Chuan glanced at the seething poisonous mist on both sides of the Demonic Dragon Path and used his divine sense to tell Little Long¡¯er not to hastily take away Julong Pagoda. The best part of the show was yet to come! Ye Chuan sneered and looked towards the party of Da Qin Crown Prince as if he was watching dead people. Chapter 251: So unbearable, so sore straits Chapter 251: So unbearable, so sore straits Taking advantage of the time when the attention of people had shifted, Ye Chuan slowly retreated and wanting to go far away from this place rife with troubles. A woman suddenly rushed out from the midst of the crowd and screamed, ¡°Your Highness, don¡¯t let this brat surnamed Ye run away. This is definitely his plot.¡± This woman was petite and graceful. She was not tall but her figure was curvy, and her legs were especially slender. On her upper body, she was wearing skintight leather armor and on her lower body, she was wearing an extremely short which cannot be any shorter leather skirt. Her figure was dazzling, but her long hair was in a mess and her eyes were red, moreover, she had bloodstain all over her body. Now, her originally charming face looked somewhat ferocious and somewhat haggard, appearing somewhat in sore straits and also somewhat insane as she ferociously stared at retreating Ye Chuan. Liu Hong? Ye Chuan was very surprised. He had never expected to meet this she-devil here again. His heart sank and he signaled Flame Devil and Horned Demonic Na Gusi to quicken their steps. Liu Hong, this woman had always been paying attention to her own attire and makeup. She was adept at scheming and even more adept at moving people, moreover, was skilled in using her own beauty to hook up with capable men. But, looking at her current appearance, she clearly had eaten many bitter tastes all along the road and also had truly begun to enter the demonic path. It¡¯s a pity, this beautiful maiden who could stay young forever changed into a ferocious she-devil. Ye Chuan shook his head. After carving that Cyan Feather Technique which appeared right but actually wrong on the big crystal man in the stone forest, he had already expected this day. Merely, he had never expected for this day to come so fast. The greed, prejudice and insanity of Liu Hong made her walk on this road to ruin and also accelerated her end. ¡°Who are you?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince frowned. Liu Hong of before entering paradise realm might have aroused his interest, but with her current insane and wicked appearance, she could only make people spoil their appetite. Especially after seeing pure and noble, aloof and refined Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, looking at other women, Da Qin Crown Prince felt all of them were flat and insipid. Born in emperor household, when he had to marry, he would marry a woman like Heavenly Maiden. Relying on his appearance, cultivation and background, he could obtain anyone he pursued. Moreover, in the future, he would ascend the throne and become the new Da Qin King! Intentionally or unintentionally, when Da Qin Crown Prince looked at Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, his gaze became somewhat scorching hot and he suddenly noticed that Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia looked beautiful even when she was angry. The moment when the big bamboo on the head of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia flew away, he was shocked and his heartbeat had accelerated. If he didn¡¯t have to worry about how to retrieve the Julong Pagoda, then he would have long thought of a way to hook up with her. ¡°Your Highness, this servant is Liu Hong, is the daughter of Five Style Sect¡¯s Sect Master.¡± Liu Hong said while sticking close to him as she reached out her hand to flick the messy hair on her forehead, appearing coquettish. She was already abandoned by Murong Zhuifeng, the thigh she had hugged, not long ago, and now, when she was in sore straits, she suddenly ran into Da Qin Crown Prince, this even sturdier thigh. And she had the chance to hook up, she would naturally stick up. How to make a man have a good opinion of herself and then dead set, Liu Hong had long been familiar with this path, merely, it was unfortunate that Da Qin Crown Prince was not an ordinary thigh. He had long experienced beauties, moreover, his heart had just been shocked by Heavenly Maiden and the current appearance of Liu Hong couldn¡¯t compare to her past appearance, as a result, the action of Liu Hong merely aroused aversion. ¡°Never heard before, roll away from where you have come, roll far away.¡± Da Qin Crown Prince didn¡¯t hide his disgust and he no longer looked at Liu Hong. Liu Hong who still considered herself beautiful and was imagining herself hugging this new thigh was dumbfounded. For the moment, she was found it difficult to advance or to retreat and felt unprecedented awkwardness. Soon after that, she gnashed her teeth. Even if someone gave her extremely big guts, she would not dare to be furious with Da Qin Crown Prince, as a result, she pinned all the blame to Ye Chuan, and she couldn¡¯t wait to personally kill Ye Chuan and chop him into eight pieces. ¡°Your Highness, this servant is speaking the truth. This brat, Ye Chuan is adept at scheming. It is impossible for him to give on Julong Pagoda on his own. This is surely his plot. Be sure to not let him run away.¡± Even though she had completely lost her face, Liu Hong was still unwilling to give up. She was unwilling to see Ye Chuan escaping unscathed among so many adventurers. Was this third or fourth time? Will she let this golden opportunity to slip? Liu Hong had forgotten, but she knew that once she let this golden opportunity slip and let Ye Chuan escape unscathed, then she will forever lose the opportunity to kill Ye Chuan. Like Tuoba Xiong, Liu Hong instinctively noticed the astonishing transformation of Ye Chuan. Every time she met him, the temperament and cultivation realm of Ye Chuan differ to some extent, and his strength steadily rose higher. If this goes on, then he would break through to Daoist Master realm, then perhaps, even Da Qin Crown Prince might not have any way to deal with him! ¡°Plot, can you prove it? Is this the plot of Ye Chuan or your plot? Do you truly think other people are blockheads?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince coldly smiled and signaled, then two experts of imperial palace stepped up. One on the left and the other at the right, they grabbed Liu Hong¡¯s arms, wanting to throw her far away. ¡°Wait, Your Highness, I can prove.¡± A voice suddenly came from the midst of the crowd, and a person strenuously crawled out. Ye Chuan turned around and saw a familiar face. Crawling out from the crowd was not someone else, actually was Murong Zhuifeng without legs. This fellow unexpectedly didn¡¯t die and came here together with Liu Hong. ¡°Murong Zhuifeng, is that you?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince exclaimed and rubbed his eyes. Murong aristocratic family had always been the loyal and reliable support of imperial clan. Murong Zhuifeng personally also had a close friendship with Da Qin Crown Prince, moreover, he listened to his every command. One of the three young masters of capital with great abilities, how can he change into such appearance? Seeing Murong Zhuifeng had degenerated to a disabled person, Da Qin Crown Prince found this unbelievable for the moment. ¡°Your Highness, it¡¯s me, it¡¯s me¡­¡­¡± Murong Zhuifeng crawled to the side of Da Qin Crown Prince and hugging the latter¡¯s right leg, he wailed. The encounter of these past two days was simply an unbearable nightmare for him. When he first entered this paradise realm, he was still full of ambitions and determined to seize the inheritance of this paradise realm, then return to the capital bringing honor to his ancestors and ask the old patriarch to record his meritorious deeds. All the way, there were dangers and also pleasant surprises, but, he surmounted all difficulties. However, after encountering Ye Chuan, everything changed. All of his aspirations completely shattered, no need to mention continuing grandly, he became a cripple! ¡°What happened? Speak, who cut off your legs, who is so bold and so ruthless?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince was furious. Murong Zhuifeng was his follower, and the Murong Clan behind him was his supporter to contend for power and influence. Reducing Murong Zhuifeng to this state, it was not only not giving a face to Murong Clan, also was slapping him, the Da Qin Crown Prince, in the face. ¡°It¡¯s him, it¡¯s that brat Ye Chuan, it¡¯s him. Your Highness, you must help me take revenge, Your Highness¡­¡­¡± Murong Zhuifeng pointed towards Ye Chuan and shouted while gnashing his teeth and tears streaming down his cheeks. Da Qin Crown Prince looked up and along with creaking sounds, surging energy fluctuation erupted from him as he ferociously glared at Ye Chuan, then he strode forward along with dense killing intent. Brat, you are screwed! Liu Hong smiled. She had waited for this moment for a long time. As long as Ye Chuan was dead, even if she completely loses her face, everything was worth it! Chapter 252: Dare to take one punch Chapter 252: Dare to take one punch Ye Chuan suddenly stopped his steps and turning around, he coldly looked at Da Qin Crown Prince chasing after them and also Liu Hong, then genuine killing intent appeared around him. He spared her life, time and time again, but this she-devil made things difficult for him, time and time again, and she didn¡¯t realize her error and show repentance. It seemed it was the time to thoroughly send her on her way. ¡°Brat, stop! Murong Zhuifeng is my brother. My demand is not too much, just cut off both of your legs by yourself, or I will cut off your three legs, and let you have the taste of having only half-body!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince pressed onward in large strides emitting dense killing intent. Behind him, as if wolves and as if tigers, the experts of imperial palace followed him in succession. In order to obtain Julong Pagoda thrown into poisonous mist by Ye Chuan, at that time, he didn¡¯t want to get into a fight so as to avoid giving advantages to other people. But, Murong aristocratic family had always been his strong supporter. Since Murong Zhuifeng had come to ask for help after he had been reduced to this appearance, if he didn¡¯t personally give him a support and avenge him, then later, who would work themselves to the bone for him and who would support him with all their strength when contending for the throne? Da Qin Crown Prince was overweeningly ambitious, so he quickly made the decision. Julong Pagoda was very important and was also a rare treasure worth higher than dragon crystals. But, no matter how good treasures were, compared to the vast territory of Da Qin Dynasty, they were still not worth mentioning! At the side of Ye Chuan, suddenly a cyan light flashed and a tall and big Evil Eyed Cow Demon appeared. What is that? One Evil Eyed Cow Demon? Vainly attempting to use this kind of low leveled yao beast to stop a peak Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert, was Ye Chuan too desperate or too naive? The onlooking Tuoba Xiong found this unbelievable and shook his head. Ye Chuan had already displayed his capability in taking impromptu decisions and making strategies. He indeed had won against many people, merely, other cultivators and Da Qin Crown Prince were too different. Just a Xiushi could easily crush an Evil Eyed Cow Demon much less a Daoist Master realm expert. A disdain appeared on the face of Da Qin Crown Prince and he continued to press onward. His killing intent became denser and he became even more confident. Liu Hong and Murong Zhuifeng also laughed. Being forced to summon Evil Eyed Cow Demon, this kind of low leveled yao beast, one could well imagine that, this time, Ye Chuan had reached the dead end. There was no escape from this misfortune! Dazzling cyan lights flashed in succession and around Ye Chuan, more and more Evil Eyed Cow Demons appeared, 10, 20, 100¡­¡­, in the blink of an eye, now there were more than 800 Evil Eyed Cow Demons, moreover, they were arranged in a neat battle formation. Finally, along with the flashing of cyan light, a graceful woman wearing a black robe appeared at his side. And the hard slabstone under her feet, even though there was no rain, it nevertheless became wet, then a water vapor spread all over. Since there was no way to avoid clashes, Ye Chuan was forced to face the hard battle, and in the blink of an eye, he arranged many defense lines. The first line of defense was those 12 ferocious human faced snakes; the second line of defense was more than 800 Evil Eyed Cow Demons arranged in a battle formation. Even if Da Qin Crown Prince was powerful, he would still need time to arrive before Ye Chuan. The third line of defense was Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi; and the final line of defense was sea demoness Hai Lili standing at his side. The cultivation of Sea Demoness Hai Lili couldn¡¯t be considered very high, but her unique innate skill made her become the most powerful trump card in the hands of Ye Chuan. Da Qin Crown Prince stopped his step and his complexion became solemn. He alone was sufficient to deal with Ye Chuan, Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Susi, these three people. But with the addition of those human faced snakes, his group had to spend more effort and he might lose some followers, that¡¯s all. But, adding such a big group of Evil Eyed Cow Demons was different. He could withstand the joint attack of these more than 800 Evil Eyed Cow Demons, but the numerous followers behind him didn¡¯t have doughty body like himself. A slight carelessness might lead to a large number of causalities. Moreover, that mysterious Sea Demoness gave him even more dangerous feeling. In a single glance, he knew that she clearly wasn¡¯t a person of this mainland. And those overseas loose cultivators often had unique innate skills. ¡°Your Highness, do you truly want to have an all-out fight with me?¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, and retracting his weak and compromising looks, he coldly said: ¡°Yes, the cultivation base of Your Highness is extraordinary, and no one is capable of stopping you. But, as long as you are unable to kill me in one move, you will be the one to die. Even with your heaven-defying cultivation base, it is equally difficult for you to avoid death!¡± Such a big tone! The onlooking crowd clearly didn¡¯t believe. No one had expected Ye Chuan to suddenly summon such a large group of yao beasts. But, looking left and right, he didn¡¯t seem to have the ability to kill Da Qin Crown Prince in an instant. On the contrary, the expression of Da Qin Crown Prince became solemn and he didn¡¯t dare to be conceited and arrogant. Standing face to face, he could feel the power and danger of Ye Chuan. The feeling he gave was completely unlike the feeling he got from a Xiushi realm cultivator. ¡°Your Highness, Ye Chuan, this brat is purposely making a mystery of simple things once again. He is most skilled in this kind of move.¡± Liu Hong walked forward with a sharp flying sword in her hand. ¡°Liu Hong, are you so eager for me to die sooner?¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at ferocious Liu Hong and said indifferently, ¡°How long has it been? Did you forget how narrowly you escaped from the Myriad Beast Forest at that time? Liu Hong was startled all of a sudden, recalling the final moment of the stone forest. At the critical moment, over hundred statues suddenly stopped as if the time had stopped. No, impossible! That was merely a coincidence, with the cultivation of Ye Chuan, how could he have such heaven-defying means? Liu Hong desperately wanted to tell herself that that was merely her illusion and also tell herself that Ye Chuan was lying, but she clearly was unable to convince herself. She could clearly remember that time when the time seemed to have frozen. Recalling that moment, her teeth started chattering. The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince become even uglier. No one was a fool, one look at the current expression of Liu Hong, anyone would know what was going on. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was not up to much, his expression was so calm and collected, and his manner of speaking was also so certain, so he definitely has something to rely on. Attacking rashly, he might truly suffer a setback. Da Qin Crown Prince once again hesitated and was in a dilemma. If he let Ye Chuan leaven in just this fashion, then his every shred of prestige would be swept away and he would lose the solid backing of Murong aristocratic family. And if he forcibly attacked, then he might successfully kill Ye Chuan, but there was also the possibility of both sides suffering. ¡°Boy, how about we have a bet?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han thought of a way and said. ¡°Speak.¡± Ye Chuan said. ¡°We two will compete. In one move, whether victory and defeat or you live or die will be concluded, then from this time on, we¡¯ll keep out of each other¡¯s affairs. All feelings of grievances will be written off. How about it? Rest assured, I will only use my left hand, moreover, only use 50% of my power.¡± Da Qin Crown Prince stared at Ye Chuan without blinking his eyes. This talk seemed to be fair but in fact was advantageous to Da Qin Crown Prince. With his Rank 7 Daoist Master realm cultivation base, let alone 50% of his power, even if he used only 30% of his power, Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand, and that single punch could blow off the latter. It was enough to kill Ye Chuan. ¡°Fine, I will take this bet!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, and beyond all expectation, without the slightest hesitation, he agreed and waved his hand to signal Flame Devil to not be impulsive. After that, he walked towards Da Qin Crown Prince. This boy is insane! The onlookers were shocked and everyone thought Ye Chuan was crazy. He could have clearly hide behind the heavy line of defenses. Like that, even if he was unable to defeat Da Qin Crown Prince, he could still stall for time and deplete the strength of Da Qin Crown Prince. Perhaps, some changes might occur in the future, but, he readily agreed to the demand of Da Qin Crown Prince and seriously came out by himself to accept a challenge. If this wasn¡¯t insane, then what was? The eyes of Liu Hong who originally was disappointed suddenly shone and became excited. Tuoba Xiong who was carrying a heavy cauldron once again looked at Ye Chuan with increased respect. As for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, looking at Ye Chuan, her expression was somewhat complicated. Chapter 253: Beauty’s statue Chapter 253: Beauty¡¯s statue ¡°Hahaha, well, kid, you are sufficiently bold, now, take my fist, hahahaha!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince roared with laughter and rushing forward, he punched. In this arrangement, he only had one chance, so, he must kill Ye Chuan in one move! The air suddenly twisted and rippled as if a calm lake that was suddenly blown by a fierce wind, and invisible air blast spread all around. Even onlooking people who were several meters away felt their ears ringing, and their chest became stuffy, making them feel hard to breathe. Then, they hastily retreated far away. Even Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who had high cultivation base also retreated to one side. Only she-devil Liu Hong still stood ten meters away. Leaning on a huge stone, she was determined to personally see the death of Ye Chuan from close proximity. Emperor Fist! Da Qin Crown Prince used his deadliest move. He said that he would use only 50% of his strength, but he seemed to have used more than 60% of his strength. The strength behind this punch was so high that the complexion of even Daoist Master realm experts changed. ¡°Zixia¡­¡­¡± Kumu Warrior Tian Ku took a step forward and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Carefully thinking about the intention of White Haired Heavenly Empress, she didn¡¯t seem to want Ye Chuan to die young. Moreover, if Ye Chuan was really killed by Da Qin Crown Prince, then Heaven Burning Furnace will fall into the hands of Da Qin Crown Prince, then that would be troublesome. This peerless treasure must not fall into the hands of Da Qin Dynasty even if it falls into the hands of other. Da Qin King was very ambitious. While suppressing third-rate sects, he had long been eying Heavenly Yao Sect and others top-notch sects. Once he found an opportunity, Heavenly Yao Sect might have a great disaster! ¡°Don¡¯t be hasty!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia waved her hand to stop Tian Ku to bide their time. For a long time now, she couldn¡¯t see through the heart of Ye Chuan and she was also unable to make sense of his cultivation. She always felt that he was hiding some secrets, and this just happened to be the perfect chance to see clearly. Ear-piercing sonic boom resounded which became bigger and bigger. This punch of Da Qin Crown Prince was fast and also ruthless. It quickly arrived in front of Ye Chuan. Fool, not dodging? The onlookers stared nervously and cried out in alarm. Even Tuoba Xiong who was always at odds with Cloud Mist Sect couldn¡¯t help but cry out subconsciously. Even with his cultivation of Rank 4 Daoist Master realm, he couldn¡¯t withstand this punch of Da Qin Crown Prince with certainty. But how high was the cultivation of Ye Chuan? Standing still like that, wasn¡¯t that courting death? ¡°Noble son¡­¡­¡± Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi cried out in alarm in unison, and disobeying the instruction of Ye Chuan, they simultaneously rushed out. Merely, even they two were very likely to be unable to stop this punch of Da Qin Crown Prince, moreover, they were already too late. ¡°Under Emperor Fist, the heaven and earth will break apart, boy, accept your fate!¡± The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince was ferocious. He was certain that this one punch will kill Ye Chuan. If Ye Chuan was to use Style Technique to dodge, then he might have some trouble, but with Ye Chuan standing still like that, trying to take his fist head-on, Ye Chuan was screwed! This wasn¡¯t bold and uninhibited, rather was foolish and also was courting death! Not far away, Murong Zhuifeng who only had upper body burst with joy and Liu Hong was even more excited. Her former lovely and charming face had an especially ferocious smile now. She no longer had that delicate and lovely feeling of former days. ¡°What about the emperor, they also eventually become ashes!¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan was ice-cold and at this critical juncture when his life was at stake, he didn¡¯t dodge nor moved. He suddenly held a cyan small crystal man in his left hand and similarly punched with his right hand. A violent energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from the body of Ye Chuan. It was imposing like a mountain and was chaotic unlike any cultivator aura seen in Wilderness World. After a few moments, even more violent and majestic energy flood downwards from the void, and the color of the entire world changed along with the shaking of the ground as if a hole was cracked open in the sky. People look up and were struck dumb with amazement. Among the thick layer of black cloud, a vast sea vaguely appeared. The sea water was completely black in color as if the legendary sea of death. And an incomparably violent energy descended from the sky. Ye Chuan was long prepared. At the crucial moment, he circulated all the Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body with full power, then linking up with the world beyond the highest heaven with the help of cyan small crystal man, that violent energy which could rend heaven and earth came down in torrents like a tide. Da Qin Crown Prince was caught off guard and he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger so he subconsciously paused his movement. In an instant, he felt like he was at the center of the windstorm of Black Sea, seemingly, he was about to be torn into shreds by the energy of the world beyond the highest heaven. Dong! A muffled sound rang as the fists of two people collided. The phantom of Black Sea at the high altitude disappeared and Ye Chuan was sent flying. And while still in midair, Ye Chuan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Now, his right arm was weakly drooping and blood was oozing out. He was nearly blown off by this single punch. As for Da Qin Crown Prince, he was fine, but his complexion was unsightly. Abominable, fooled again! Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han gnashed his teeth. That punch of Ye Chuan appeared powerful and that phantom of black sea in the air appeared frightening, but, all was fake move. Under panic, his movement slightly paused, reducing his strength behind that punch to 70-80%. Although Ye Chuan was severely injured, he didn¡¯t have his wish of killing Ye Chuan with one move fulfilled. This kid is truly crafty, he had endless means. He cannot leave him alive, absolutely cannot! Da Qin Crown Prince took a step forward and his killing intent soared. It was already so difficult to deal with Ye Chuan when he was merely Rank 7 Xiushi, if he was to break through to Daoist Master realm, then wouldn¡¯t it be even harder to deal with him? ¡°Enough, Your Highness, you spoke the words of enormous weight, but do you want to go back on your words.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s cold voice resounded. The footstep of Da Qin Crown Prince stopped, and taking a deep breath, he calmed down. Heavenly Yao Sect finally intervened and this was what he was most concerned about. It was fine to go back on his words, but directly conflicting against Heavenly Maiden and her group didn¡¯t have any benefit to him. ¡°Zixia, I knew you wouldn¡¯t look on with folded arms, you are reluctant to let me die in the hands of other. After obtaining the inheritance of this paradise realm, I will immediately go over to Heavenly Yao Sect to propose a marriage alliance to your master, White Haired Heavenly Empress. I said that I will take responsibility, so I will definitely take responsibility until the end¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan stood up and looked at Heavenly Maiden with a grin. And before he could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood. The Emperor Fist of Da Qin Crown Prince was really powerful. Even the tyrannical body of Ye Chuan was nearly blown off in a single punch. And that was after the punch was substantially weakened. If that punch had landed on his body with full-strength, then even a steel giant would have his body smashed to pieces and his bones ground to powder! ¡°Ye Chuan, you¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden was angry and ashamed. The words of Ye Chuan sounded too ambiguous, if she tried to clarify, then it would only make the matters worse. The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han sunk after hearing the words of Ye Chuan. It seemed Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and Ye Chuan had already¡­¡­, such a pure, noble, aloof and refined woman, she was unexpectedly already taken over by Ye Chuan, how can this be endured? Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who was secretly interested in Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was angry and his killing intent was reignited. But, before he could flip out, someone else attacked first. Liu Hong who was watching the battle from not far away suddenly rushed out stepping on her flying sword, and using Cyan Feather Technique, she quickly arrived in front of Ye Chuan, then ferociously stabbed a sword into the chest of Ye Chuan. This matter happened so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard. Even Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia wasn¡¯t able to respond. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, Ye Chuan, in the end, you are killed by me, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Liu Hong roared with laughter looking ferocious. After waiting for a long time, she finally got the chance. Taking advantage of the time when Ye Chuan was severely injured, she launched a surprise attack. After refining that drop of Demonic Dragon Blood, the body of Ye Chuan had become very doughty, but after suffering severe injury, moreover, caught off guard, she succeeded in attacking. ¡°Liu Hong, you are too early to be happy!¡± Ye Chuan took a deep breath, he neither dodged nor moved, and ignoring the sharp sword stabbed in his chest, he directly hit her with his head. Liu Hong who was laughing heartily was caught off guard, and she was sent flying into the seething poisonous mist. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, Your Highness, save me¡­¡­¡± A sad and shrill cry came from inside the poisonous mist, then, there was no sound. On the side of Demonic Dragon path, one more lifelike statue appeared. Looking from far away, Liu Hong still looked graceful with her curvy body and a pair of slender legs, unfortunately, her entire body was ice-cold without any aura. Without the sense of propriety and regarding herself too clever, she finally met her end. Chapter 254: Ruthless Chapter 254: Ruthless Seeing Liu Hong turning into a statue in a blink of an eye, everyone was horrified. Even Da Qin Crown Prince whose killing intent was reignited didn¡¯t dare to act recklessly and his heart was in jitters. The poisonous mist on two sides of this Demonic Dragon Path was too frightening, and Ye Chuan also was too ferocious! Not only was he severely injured, he was also stabbed by Liu Hong, but he unexpectedly was still able to headbutt her flying. Who else can do so? For that, only strength wasn¡¯t enough, innate unyielding nature was also needed. Now, people looked towards Ye Chuan with awe and fear. Tuoba Xiong was also the same. Now, he finally understood that it was not by chance Ye Chuan created miracles and gradually led Cloud Mist Sect to prominence. But, it was too pity, if Ye Chuan was the disciple of Black Cauldron Sect, then how wonderful that would be! Didn¡¯t his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao love Ye Chuan, how about he take this seriously and let them¡­¡­ Tuoba Xiong suddenly had a strange thought, then he quickly denied himself. His long-cherished wish of this life was to become the real overlord, and unify the three major sects of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, wiping out both Cloud Mist Sect and Five Style Sect. Although Ye Chuan was outstanding, he after all was the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, and there was an irreconcilable contradiction between them. ¡°Your Highness, Ye Chuan is seriously injured, kill him!¡± Murong Zhuifeng crawled over. When everyone was observing the bad end of Liu Hong, he however didn¡¯t repent, rather persistently begged Da Qin Crown Prince to attack. With only his upper body, he was already finished. Even if he returned to the capital¡¯s Murong aristocratic family, he had already lost the qualification to strive for the throne of the patriarch, moreover, he would suffer suppression and ridicule of his fellow disciples, making his life worse than death. Now, he had already abandoned himself to despair and no longer thought how to struggle for power. His sole reason for living was to see the death of Ye Chuan. Da Qin Crown Prince was somewhat impatient, he had made it clear beforehand that he would compete with Ye Chuan in only one move, and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had also personally stepped out to stop him, in such situation, how can he still attack? Murong Zhuifeng, this fellow is too insensible! Da Qin Crown Prince was annoyed in his heart. He wanted Murong Zhuifeng to know how to stop before going too far, but, persistent Muong Zhuifeng ignored everything as if possessed. And just like Liu Hong, he was insane. He wanted to rely on his identity and background to force Da Qin Crown Prince to make a move again. Also only begging was not a problem, but he was shouting while hugging the right leg of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han with his face covered in tears, moreover, wiping his snots on the pants of Da Qin Crown Prince. ¡°Your Highness, kill¡­¡­, kill him, kill that brat Ye Chuan, Your Highness¡­¡­¡± Murong Zhuifeng gasped for breath. He was tired. All along the way, he had crawled behind Liu Hong so he was already exhausted. Because his head was drooping at the legs of Da Qin Crown Prince, he was entirely unaware that the eyes of Da Qin Crown Prince was flashing with a hint of disgust. ¡°Heh heh, okay, that brat Ye Chuan should be killed. Zhuifeng brother, slow down, let¡¯s not attack hastily, Zhuifeng brother¡­¡­¡± The eyes of Da Qin Crown Prince flashed with pallid light, then he secretly used his strength to send Murong Zhuifeng flying like a meatball, straight towards severely injured Ye Chuan. It appeared as if Murong Zhuifeng was very impatient and personally made a move. The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince was ferocious, and looking at the back view of Murong Zhuifeng, he sneered. He had already abandoned Murong Zhuifeng as having a cripple at his side was also useless. If he didn¡¯t help him or show him consideration, then he couldn¡¯t explain to Murong aristocratic family. So, he helped him but this brat didn¡¯t have a sense of propriety. This brat didn¡¯t understand that he had already taken a risk to help him once already. So, the best way to deal with this situation was to make him shut up forever. It would be best to use Ye Chuan to kill him. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Murong Zhuifeng screamed and was scared out of his wits. Just now, he was still begging Da Qin Crown Prince to make a move, and his complexion was ferocious, determined to kill Ye Chuan today. But, in front of Ye Chuan, it was different when it was his turn to attack in person, his brain suddenly became an empty space. When he was completely intact with his hands and legs, he still wasn¡¯t the opponent of Ye Chuan. Now, he had no legs becoming a cripple, how can he be the opponent of Ye Chuan? Da Qin Crown Prince is killing me by proxy. He wants to kill me! Murong Zhuifeng quickly realized. Being a person of the prominent family, this kind of means of pulling down the bridge after crossing the river and killing a witness to silence them, he was very familiar. Merely, he had never thought that this kind of misfortune would fall on him one day. Two days ago, they were still close brothers and sworn friend, but in the blink of an eye, he changed into a worthless sacrifice! Murong Zhuifeng despaired and was furious. He wanted to resist and wanted to return to Murong aristocratic family and complain tearfully about the ruthlessness of Da Qin Crown Prince before old patriarch, unfortunately, he already didn¡¯t have such opportunity. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t attack, just looked coldly at approaching meatball like Muorng Zhuifeng. A sturdy figure suddenly rush to the front from behind Ye Chuan and flame appeared on his palm which instantly engulfed Murong Zhuifeng who was powerless to resist. A sad and shrill blood-curdling scream resounded in the sky of Demonic Dragon Path. The flame in the hand of Flame Devil slowly faded away and Murong Zhuifeng who resembled a meatball also disappeared, he was directly burned into ashes. Ding, merely a pendant that was fire and heat resistance fell to the ground. It was beautifully crafted and it didn¡¯t resemble crystal stone and also didn¡¯t resemble jade stone, it was crafted with unknown material. Ye Chuan picked it up and briefly looking at it, he put it away. ¡°Ye Chuan, you are finished, you dared to kill Murong Zhuifeng, the old patriarch of Murong aristocratic family will not let you off!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince coldly looked at Ye Chuan and his killing intent soared, pretending to be angry. ¡°Your Highness, it¡¯s you who is finished, do you truly think that everyone present here is a fool? If I have an opportunity to run into the old patriarch of Murong aristocratic family, then I think he is interested to know how Murong Zhuifeng died.¡± Ye Chuan sneered, exposing the scheme of Da Qin Crown Prince. ¡°Heh heh, you say, will old patriarch of Murong aristocratic family believe you? Besides, let¡¯s see whether you can leave this paradise realm in one piece or not!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince coldly smiled and turned away, secretly giving a signal to a trusted aide beside him. The latter understood and secretly made a beheading gesture. Due to the obstruction of Heavenly Maiden, Da Qin Crown Prince wasn¡¯t able to make a move against Ye Chuan in public, but his killing intent was flourishing, he wanted to get rid of Ye Chuan at all costs. ¡°Dammit, that Julong Pagoda is mine!¡± ¡°Make a move, it¡¯s first come first serve!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. The onlooking people came back to their senses and rushed over in succession. After Da Qin Crown Prince left, the people reacted, recalling the Julong Pagoda thrown into poisonous mist by Ye Chuan. Some used their flying sword and some take out a hook, but all of them wanted to become first to obtain Julong Pagoda. With Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince, this kind of peak experts, present on the scene, wanting to seize the inheritance of this paradise realm was all the more difficult, so just obtaining that Julong Pagoda would make their long journey worthwhile. Numerous experts showed their techniques in succession rushing to the side of Demonic Dragon Path, but they were shocked. At an unknown time, the Julong Pagoda that was inside the poisonous mist had already disappeared without a trace. The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince sunk. Not far away, Ye Chuan retreated under the protection of Flame Devil and others. He went far away from numerous scheming adventurers. The injuries of Ye Chuan was not optimistic, but he had a smile on his face. Then, snapping his fingers, Little Long¡¯er who had been hiding within the poisonous mist appeared along with Julong Pagoda. Chapter 255: Demonic Dragon Horn Chapter 255: Demonic Dragon Horn Not finding Julong Pagoda even after searching for a while, Da Qin Crown Prince and others had no choice but to reluctantly leave, continuing towards the ends of this Demonic Dragon Path. In the front, that vaguely visible imperial palace in the midst of thick fog was getting closer and closer. Very soon, they would arrive at the core of this paradise realm, Heavenly Dragon Hall. Watching numerous adventurers getting further and further away, Ye Chuan bide for time and fell far behind the troops. And after a good while, confirming the safety, he signaled and Little Long¡¯er came out from the poisonous mist carrying Julong Pagoda. Ye Chuan took Julong Pagoda and carefully observed it. This was a seven floored little pagoda. The floors were stacked on the top of each other, and the floors were narrowed down from the bottom to the top forming a triangle shape. On the pagoda, many dragon-shaped patterns were carved. Although it wasn¡¯t big, each floor had window, stairs and even small bells under the eaves. It was exquisite and detailed. It was small but complete. Ye Chuan knitted his brows. This Julong Pagoda was exquisitely made, but, observing carefully for a moment, he couldn¡¯t make out any profoundness. This pagoda that could make numerous adventurers scramble for it including Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, how could it be a common item? Ye Chuan was confused. He closed his eyes and moving his fingertips on Julong Pagoda, he slowly used his spirit to examine. This time, he finally sensed a trace of obscure energy fluctuation, but it was far less powerful than anticipated. It couldn¡¯t even be considered a piece of ordinary black grade treasure. Heaven, Earth, Yellow and Black, these were the grades to classify the treasure in Wilderness World. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have much interest in even ordinary heaven grade treasure, must less black grade treasures. So many people were striving to obtain it regardless of their safety, and he had spent great effort to obtain it, but in the end, was this merely a common trash? Ye Chuan shook his head and suddenly had a thought, then taking out Heaven Burning Furnace, he tossed Julong Pagoda inside it. The temperature inside Heaven Burning Furnace rapidly rose and the flame also soared. But, unfortunately, even with the flame of Heaven Burning Furnace, there was no change. There was no additional layer covering it, moreover, it also didn¡¯t melt. After refining for a good while, he still couldn¡¯t find the secrets of this pagoda, but the material in itself was very good, it was able to bear frightening high temperature. ¡°Strange, how can it be like this?¡± Flame Devil was also very surprised. He had been staring at Julong Pagoda and was also puzzled, ¡°Impossible, so many dragon statues were surrounding this pagoda, and we spent so much effort to obtain it, moreover, attracted the wrath of Golden Dragon King, how could this only be a common item?¡± ¡°At that time, what was the specific situation, how did you guys obtain it?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°At that time, everyone cooperated to rush forward. Everyone wanted to quickly reach the end of this Demonic Dragon Path as quickly as possible. And 30 li away in the front, we discovered a temple shrouded in a poisonous mist at the side of Demonic Dragon Path. This pagoda was enshrined inside that temple, and that temple was tightly encircled by many dragon statues. As soon as we approached it, those dragons immediately revived and we alerted that especially ferocious Golden Dragon King. Heavenly Maiden, Da Qin Crown Prince and other peak experts cooperated to obstruct Golden Dragon King and other dragons while thinking of a way to obtain this Julong Pagoda.¡± Flame Devil replied, and after pausing for a bit, he continued, ¡°The very first person to obtain it was Arch Robber **. He was skilled in taking things from the distance. Then, it fell into our hands, so we ran away. As for other adventurers, they either couldn¡¯t stop us or they didn¡¯t have time to obstruct us, until Da Qin Crown Prince make a move. He blocked both of us.¡± Flame Devil had a lingering fear, he feared and also hated that Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. He spoke so simply, but the reality was naturally too dangerous. He and Horned Demon Na Gusi had narrowly escaped at that time. In the end, if it was not for Ye Chuan arriving in the brink of time, they might have already been killed by Da Qin Crown Prince. They had taken such a big risk merely for a common item, Flame Devil was even more disappointed than Ye Chuan. For a moment, he was not reconciled and he was also skeptical and unwilling to believe. ¡°A temple?¡± Ye Chuan was unable to melt Julong Pagoda, and when he dripped a drop of his essences blood, this three feet tall pagoda slightly moved and a vague white light flashed, then showed no activity. He was unable to refine it. Flame Devil was even more disappointed. The same was true for Horned Demon Na Gusi who was standing at one side. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was low, his means had always been endless. Even he couldn¡¯t refine it means no one under the heaven could do it either. Either this pagoda couldn¡¯t be refined by anyone and very probably be a pinnacle treasure of the world beyond the highest heaven, or this was a common item without any secrets. Along with Da Qin Crown Prince and Heavenly Maiden, all of them were deceived by the special circumstance of the temple. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, come here!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly beckoned Little Long¡¯er to come over, ¡°Come, I will teach you a small trick, drip a drop of your essence blood on it.¡± Ye Chuan instructed Little Long¡¯er, and the latter obediently nodded his head. A hint was all that was needed and he already grasped the trick. Then, under the encouragement of Ye Chuan, he used that technique to drip a drop of essence blood on that Julong Pagoda. A change suddenly appeared on the Julong Pagoda that couldn¡¯t be refined. The first change appeared on the first floor, a white light pulsated and many dragon-shaped runes appeared. These runes continuously emerged and dissipated. It was like thousands of shrunk dragons were moving about this Julong Pagoda. Shortly afterward, the white light spread to the second floor and the same situation appeared on the second floor. The white light spread upward floor by floor, and finally, all seven floors of this pagoda were shrouded by dazzling white light. The entire Julong Pagoda was full of vitality as if it was alive. There were tens upon thousands of various kinds of dragons inside as if this was the shrunk Dragon Kingdom. The dragon roars could also be heard in succession. Sometimes, those dragon voices were powerful and shocking and sometimes, they were erratic as if they were coming from Julong Pagoda and again from the void. This was a peerless treasure left behind by a demonic dragon, only the person with the bloodline of Demonic Dragon Clan flowing within him could refine it! Ye Chuan quickly understood what was going on. After refining that drop of Demonic Dragon Blood, his blood had transformed, stepping into Blood Transformation Phase, but compared to innately endowed Little Long¡¯er, the concentration of demonic dragon bloodline was too little. The white light flashed and Julong Pagoda suddenly disappeared, then changing into white light, it entered the body of Little Long¡¯er. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, use your spirit to take out Julong Pagoda and let us look at its secrets!¡± Ye Chuan instructed, imparting some basic tricks to Little Long¡¯er. ¡°Okay.¡± The little boy was somewhat nervous, and made some gesture. Suddenly, Julong Pagoda appeared on his palm, then throwing it to the ground, he blew it. After that, that pagoda suddenly rose up, then swaying, it issued a muffled powerful dragon roaring sound, and squeaking noises suddenly came from all direction. What is this sound? Ye Chuan, Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi looked all around and suddenly discovered that all the dragon statues on both sides of Demonic Dragon Path had opened their eyes and slowly returned to life. From the front, the adventurers who had gone ahead issued ear-deafening screams. Moreover, countless dragons from both sides of Demonic Dragon Path rushed towards the adventures in the front. In an instant, Demonic Dragon Path filled with ice-cold poisonous mist became the true Dragon Kingdom. This was not some Julong Pagoda (Dragon Gathering Pagoda), rather a Demonic Dragon Horn. When this horn sounds, dragon statues could reawaken in succession! Chapter 256: Golden Dragon King Chapter 256: Golden Dragon King Whoosh whoosh whoosh! A huge dragon statue reawakened, and transforming into a true dragon with blood and flesh, it soared into the sky. And at the same time, the ground swayed and a long crack appeared. Now, it appeared as if the entire paradise realm was about to collapse. Ye Chuan managed to stay calm with great difficulty. As for Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi, they were sweating profusely and their legs went soft. Witnessing fierce and tough dragons flying beside them as well as hearing that ear deafening dragon roars beside their ears, even seasoned peak experts also couldn¡¯t help but have their scalp tingle. Out of the four people, only Little Long¡¯er didn¡¯t have the slightest fear, on the contrary, he was indescribably excited. Moreover, he emitted a unique aura which vaguely had indescribable innate pressure. Even Flame Devil and Horned Devil Na Gusi also trembled involuntarily under this indescribable pressure. It seems the tyrannical power of Little Long¡¯er was gradually awakening. ¡°Which fellow without eyes triggered the ultimate restriction of this Demonic Dragon Path?¡± ¡°Dragons, there are dragons everywhere, run!¡± ¡°No¡­.., sixth brother, wait for me, save me¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. A group of adventurers hastily retreated and appeared in the vision of Ye Chuan and others. And behind them, there was a group of ferocious dragons. Someone staggered and fell to the ground, then he was no longer able to get up again as he was shredded into pieces by the relentlessly pursuing dragons. Someone was panting and could no longer run away, so gritting his teeth, he turned around and desperately launched ferocious attacks towards dragons behind him, and the result was, in the blink of an eye, he was submerged by dragons. Someone had very fast speed, stepping on the flying sword, he ran away, but before he could become happy, he was caught by a huge winged dragon and was swallowed whole. Dozens of adventurers were nearly wiped out in a blink of an eye. Among them, there was no lack of great experts of later stage Daoist Master realm, but even though their cultivation base was very high, they were able to cope with the besieging of a large group of dragons. ¡°Noble son Ye, no, Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye, save me¡­¡­¡± An adventurer having a sharp eye saw Ye Chuan¡¯s group of four and his eyes shone as he spared no effort to rush over. He earnestly hoped for Ye Chuan to shelter him. He was wearing a tattered battle robe of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s disciple. He hadn¡¯t gone with Sect Master Tuoba Xiong, rather had mixed together with unfamiliar adventurers. Moreover, he appeared vaguely familiar, Ye Chuan vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen him at the side of Tuoba Xiaoniao. Considering the face of Tuoba Xiaoniao, Ye Chuan extended his hand, preparing to lend him a hand, but, along with a loud roar, an especially huge golden dragon descended from the heaven, then with a single bite, it tore this disciple of Black Cauldron Sect into two and blood splashed on Ye Chuan. ¡°Ah¡­..¡± ¡°Noble son, be careful!¡± Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi cried out in alarm, the sudden and unexpected appearance of this golden dragon frightened them so much that their soul nearly flew out of their body. A three meters flame suddenly appeared from the palm of Flame Devil, and Horn Demon Na Gusi also held a triangular thorn as they retreated several steps as if faced with a formidable foe. Ye Chuan was also tense, and he suddenly resorted to Heaven Burning Furnace with the rolling heat wave. The swaying of the ground abruptly intensified, and air bubbles appeared in the sky. No matter the dragons or hastily running for life adventurers, touching those air bubbles, they were immediately engulfed by the air bubble and they disappeared. The restriction of this paradise realm began to show its ferociousness. With more and more air bubbles as well as huge golden dragon glaring like a tiger eyeing its prey, the group of Ye Chuan was also in danger. Suddenly a flame soared from the Heaven Burning Furnace in the hand of Ye Chuan. At this critical juncture of life and death, Ye Chuan was also unable to calm himself. Madly circulating six Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he prepared to join hands with Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi to battle against this golden dragon. ¡°Slow down, big brother, Golden Dragon King didn¡¯t come to hurt us. He came to meet us.¡± Little Long¡¯er suddenly made an astonishing move. He walked over and caressed the head of Golden Dragon King. And this ferocious small mountain like Golden Dragon King unexpectedly stuck out its tongue and affectionately licked Little Long¡¯er, and it seemed to whisper something. ¡°Big brother, Golden Dragon King said that this Demonic Dragon Path is about to collapse and be closed forever, quick, ride on its back with me!¡± Little Long¡¯er seemed to understand what it said and his little face became tense, then he immediately pulled Ye Chuan to sit on the back of Golden Dragon King. Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi wanted to follow too, but the Golden Dragon King lying on the ground suddenly held its head high and spat out a dragon breath, and the ground was corroded in an instant. Roar! Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi retreated in fear, then Golden Dragon King held its head high and roared, then soared into the sky. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, ask Golden Dragon King to take them along with us!¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan became tense, seeing the terrified and helpless expression of Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. Underneath, the poisonous mist on both sides of Demonic Dragon Path began to spread, wanting to submerge the sole path where people could walk safely. The ground shook and cracked, moreover, there were dragons everywhere. Numerous air bubbles also sprang out from the ground and the adventurers that were trapped in them simply had no way out. If one was not torn into pieces by dragons, then poisonous mist would petrify them into ice-cold statues, falling into the fissure that was getting bigger and bigger. Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi had outstanding cultivation base, but relying on only their strength, they absolutely had no chance to escape alive! Little Long¡¯er spoke something in the ears of Golden Dragon King. Roar! Golden Dragon King roared again, then suddenly descended from the high altitude. But, it didn¡¯t let Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi ride its back, rather it swung its dragon tail, sending them flying, and they just happened to be engulfed by air bubble and disappeared without a trace. At first glance, that air bubble appeared no different from other air bubbles, but looking closely at it, one can see that there was an indistinct white light circulating in that air bubble. Ear air bubble was a door. Pure black air bubble led to the underworld, which means, it was certain death if one was engulfed by it. And there were some air bubbles with white light circulating around them, that was the sole path from where an average person could escape with life. After thinking quickly, Ye Chuan relaxed. But, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have time to observe carefully as Golden Dragon King quickly flew into the air, carrying two people towards the Demonic Dragon Hall at the end of this Demonic Dragon Path. After Auxiliary Palace Chaotain Palace collapsed, it revealed dangerous Demonic Dragon Path; when Little Long¡¯er blew Demonic Dragon Horn, Demonic Dragon Path collapsed and the most important place of this paradise realm, Demonic Dragon Hall was finally opened. Looking from afar, one could see that a golden imperial door had appeared in front of layer upon layer of imperial palaces. And that heavy door slowly opened. Below, numerous adventurers who had gone ahead were fleeing in confusion for their life, but the overwhelming majority were crushed by dragons and engulfed by pure black air bubbles. Only a very small number of people were engulfed by air bubble with white light, surviving this death zone. In this death forbidden zone, whether one could leave alive or not was up to their fate and luck! Ye Chuan casted a sidelong glance, and experiencing the power of the restriction laid out by the expert of the world beyond the highest heaven, he was greatly shocked. Golden Dragon King was very fast. It quickly got nearer and nearer to the Demonic Dragon Hall at the end of this Demonic Dragon Path. Underneath, just before the poisonous mist completely engulfed the entire ground, whistling sounds suddenly resounded. One man and one woman suddenly rushed out of the poisonous mist, and one on the left and other at the right, they tenaciously grabbed the dragon claws of Golden Dragon King. Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han persisted until the final moment of the collapse of Demonic Dragon Path. They had used all their techniques to rush out. Both of them were peak experts of later stage Daoist Master Realm and also possessed great destiny. Turning their ill luck into good, they wanted to follow Golden Dragon King to reach the forbidden area of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm! Chapter 257: Dragging down others with him even when dying Chapter 257: Dragging down others with him even when dying Golden Dragon King suddenly accelerated and its huge body instantly streak across the sky leaving behind afterimages. It wanted to use speed to throw off Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince. Whoosh, the sound of wind resounded beside the ears. Ye Chuan who was riding the back of this Golden Dragon King felt as if he was riding the clouds and flying on the mist. But it was completely different for Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince who were forcibly hanging on the legs of Golden Dragon King. They shook violently and could fall down from such a high altitude at any time. The Demonic Dragon Path underneath had completely disappeared, leaving only boundless poisonous mist. If one fell down, then even a peak expert of Rank 7 Daoist Master realm like Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince might also not be able to escape. But, the two people were powerful, no matter the speed of Golden Dragon King, they persistently clung to its sharp claws, ignoring the strong wind blowing against them. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, be careful, Golden Dragon King is angry.¡± Little Long¡¯er stuck close to the back of Golden Dragon King and his somewhat immature voice quietly resounded beside the ears of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan became careful, and just like Little Long¡¯er, he bent over and stuck close to the back of Golden Dragon King. In the next moment, Golden Dragon King held its head high and issued a loud roar, then, it suddenly flew straight upward, causing fierce wind to blow directly against them. At high altitude, the wind was bigger and more intense, moreover, just like sea whirlpool, the direction of the wind was unpredictable. On the ground, there were layers upon layers of restriction, and the high altitude was also the same, moreover, the power of restriction was even bigger. When Golden Dragon King ascended, the four people immediately felt pressured. Still, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er who were stuck close to the back of Golden Dragon King were fine, but, same couldn¡¯t be said to Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince, they felt heavy pressure. Every meter Golden Dragon King ascended, the pressure they felt doubled, and they felt like an invisible mountain was weighing down on them. No matter how much Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince tried, they were unable to turn over and ride the back of Golden Dragon King. This usually simple action, in the high altitude, was thousand times more difficult. Clearly, the master of this paradise realm had laid out an ancient restriction, cutting off the possibility of people sneaking or escaping through the air. Golden Dragon King suddenly stopped, then suddenly accelerated, and even swayed and tossed about in the sky. Even Ye Chuan who was stuck at the back of this Golden Dragon King was in a spectacular mess, and when Golden Dragon King reached a certain altitude, he unexpectedly felt as he was unable to breathe and also felt weak in his limbs. After yet another sudden acceleration and sudden stop, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia screamed, and with only one hand clutching Golden Dragon King, her body was swaying due to the fierce wind. And then, along with another sudden acceleration of Golden Dragon King, her remaining hand slowly slipped down. She was unable to grab any longer. ¡°Be careful!¡± At the critical moment, Ye Chuan turned sideways taking the risk, then reached out his hand to grab Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was about to fall. He successfully grabbed her soft right hand. The moment two people held each other¡¯s hand, a marvelous feeling appeared in their heart, and just like they had obtained a piece of treasure, they couldn¡¯t bear to let go. ¡°Little¡­, you also be careful!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia stabilized her body, then she extracted her hand from the grip of Ye Chuan with a red face. She who was accustomed to cursing Ye Chuan suddenly corrected herself feeling awkward. She had basically thought that she was screwed, falling from such a high altitude into that terrifying poisonous mist, even if her Master White Haired Heavenly Empress personally rush over, she might not be able to save her. But, to her surprise, Ye Chuan unexpectedly saved her at the final moment. ¡°Heh heh, brat, in such a time, you are still courting.¡± The voice of Da Qin Crown Prince suddenly resounded and Ye Chuan suddenly slid back. Da Qin Crown Prince had extended his hand and grabbed his left leg. What a Da Qin Crown Prince, although he was Rank 7 Daoist Master, his cultivation was still slightly higher than Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. When Heavenly Maiden was unable to preserve herself and nearly fell down, he was still handling the situation with ease, moreover, he even wanted to pull down Ye Chuan from the back of this Golden Dragon King. ¡°Big Brother, be careful!¡± Little Long¡¯er turned around and just happened to see Da Qin Crown Prince grabbing the left leg of Ye Chuan. He immediately panicked and hastily patted the neck of Golden Dragon King and said something. Roar! With an angry roar, Golden Dragon went out of control, and suddenly nose-dived from the high altitude while tossing about and swaying its body. Da Qin Crown Prince was alarmed and could no longer attend to play a dirty trick. He tenaciously grabbed the claw of Golden Dragon King so as to avoid being thrown off. In an instant, his clothing was drenched due to sweating profusely, and looking up, he just happened to see Ye Chuan with an evil smile, ¡°Your Highness, how are things? How are you getting by underneath?¡± Contrary to his expectation, Ye Chuan who was nearly thrown off by Da Qin Crown Prince didn¡¯t lose his temper, instead smiled. Merely, that smile scared Da Qin Crown Prince. The brighter the smile, the more fearful Da Qin Crown Prince felt. Ye Chuan clung onto the back of Golden Dragon King with his left hand and a scorching hot flame appeared on the palm of his right hand, which swept off towards Da Qin Crown Prince. Fire Blowing Palm! Ye Chuan used a very simple technique, but it was very practical at this moment. With the aid of wind, the scorching hot flame suddenly wrapped around Da Qin Crown Prince. Then, this Da Qin Crown Prince who considered himself the best in the world was burned and his body emitted dense smoke. His clothing, hairs and eyebrows were completely burned. ¡°Kid, do you dare to kill me? Believe or not, I can send a flying letter to request father emperor to dispatch troops to completely destroy your Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was frightened and also furious. Now, he was in a sorry plight. ¡°Heh heh, boy, who do you think you are? Even if your father emperor, Da Qin King was here, I will still dare to kill you! Come come come, since you have already tasted barbecued pork, taste the flavor of cold spring.¡± Ye Chuan sneered and circulating flowing water shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body, he attacked once again. Quickly, the water mist in the atmosphere condensed and changed into ice-cold rainwater, raining down on Da Qin Crown Prince. Da Qin Crown Prince who was burnt just a moment ago quickly changed into a drenched chicken, and then shivered feeling cold. Now, with his both hands being wet, in addition, the fierce movements of Golden Dragon King, his grips unexpectedly became unsteady and slid down. He was about to fall down. ¡°Yes, in just this fashion, make an extra effort!¡± Little Long¡¯er patted the neck of Golden Dragon King and the latter roared once again. Then, it suddenly stopped and suddenly accelerated repeatedly in the air, making a series of dangerous movement. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia looked pale, and she felt that the invisible pressure of the restriction was becoming increasingly powerful. Da Qin Crown Prince was finding this even more unbearable, his one hand was already loosened, and now, he was clinging dangerously from Golden Dragon King¡¯s sharp claw with only one hand. When the strong wind blew, he would sway dangerously, and nearly fall down. ¡°Your Highness, let me send you on your way!¡± Ye Chuan opened his mouth and then a hint of blade light appeared in front of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, and his three fingers were cut off. In one on one fight, Ye Chuan was naturally not the opponent of Da Qin Crown Prince, but the current situation was different. It was now the turn of Da Qin Crown Prince to suffer. After losing three fingers, he could no longer grab properly. He slowly slid down from the claw of Golden Dragon King and fell down. Now only the future of turning into a statue at the side of Demonic Dragon Path and never see the sunlight again was waiting for him. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, brat, if I cannot survive, then don¡¯t think that you will be better-off, we will go to hell together!¡± Da Qin King suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from his bosom, then ferociously stabbed the stomach of Golden Dragon King. Golden Dragon King uttered a sad calls feeling pain, and it also fell down. And since there was poisonous mist everywhere underneath, all of them would certainly die inside. Da Qin Crown Prince was especially ferocious, even when dying he wanted to drag down Ye Chuan, Heavenly Maiden and Little Long¡¯er. Moreover, he roared with laughter as if he had gone insane. But, don¡¯t know from where he obtained the strength, he unexpectedly paused in the midair, and once again, firmly grabbed the claw of Golden Dragon King. Chapter 258: Demonic Dragon Hall Chapter 258: Demonic Dragon Hall The body of Golden Dragon King was so tyrannical that any ordinary sword basically cannot stab through its skin, but this dagger of Da Qin Crown Prince was also too deadly. That dagger was not an ordinary item and also was indescribably sharp, moreover, it was smeared with very lethal poison. In an instant, even the especially sturdy body of Golden Dragon King was unable to bear it. The bleeding cut on its stomach became black and rapidly spread to his entire body. Then, along with a sad call, it fell downwards, but holding onto its last breath, it still wanted to bring Little Long¡¯er to the Demonic Dragon Hall at the end of this Demonic Dragon Path. In the front, the entrance gate of Demonic Dragon Hall was already opened, and the seething poisonous mist had already spread to seven meters away from this entrance and then stopped as if it collided with an invisible wall. As long as they arrived in front of the door of Demonic Dragon Hall, they would be completely safe. ¡°Hahaha, come on, brat, continue! Let¡¯s go to hell together, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han roared with laughter, then pulling out the dagger from the stomach of Golden Dragon King, he ferociously stabbed Golden Dragon King again. The massive body of Golden Dragon King shook, and uttering sad calls again, it began to fall rapidly. Now, there was still 1000 meters distance between them and Demonic Dragon Hall. At ordinary times, Golden Dragon King would have crossed this extremely short distance of 1000 meters in an instant, but after bearing severe injuries moreover, being poisoned by lethal poison, its body was numb and powerless, so it was unable to balance its body, beginning to fall vertically down. ¡°Ye Chuan, jump!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia suddenly shouted, then swinging on the claw of this Golden Dragon King, she took advantage of the momentum to jump forward towards the entrance of Demonic Dragon Hall. If they continued to cling to Golden Dragon King, then they would definitely fall into the poisonous mist and die certainly without a doubt. But, jumping forward, there was a slim chance to escape with life! Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia made a prompt decision and gambled everything. However, she was not the first person to jump, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han took the initiative to jump. This fellow wasn¡¯t old, but his cultivation as powerful and was very experienced, so he naturally wouldn¡¯t miss any opportunity. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, go!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly stood up and reached out to hold Little Long¡¯er sitting in the front. They were still 1000 meters away from the Demonic Dragon Hall, even Heavenly Maiden was not confident in being able to fly past this distance, let alone bring someone else too. But, until the last moment, he will never give up. Reaching here, there was only a final step left, as long as he safely brought Little Long¡¯er to the Demonic Dragon Hall in the front, the task entrusted by that old man will be complete, moreover, he could also see what secrets Demonic Dragon Hall and Little Long¡¯er have. ¡°No, big brother Ye Chuan, I want to go together with Golden Dragon King, you can go first!¡± Little Long¡¯er turned around and reluctantly looking at Ye Chuan, he patted the neck of Golden Dragon King. Then, Golden Dragon King who was severely injured suddenly gained strength from who knows where and swung its tail, sending Ye Chuan flying to help him out. The whistling sound of wind resounded beside the ears of Ye Chuan as he flew forward. Behind, the huge body of Golden Dragon King however dropped rapidly, and Little Long¡¯er riding on its back waved his hand towards Ye Chuan. ¡°Little Long¡¯er¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan shouted loudly and his nose suddenly became sour. All along the road, he took care of Little Long¡¯er for fear that he would encounter some mishap, but, beyond his expectation, at the last moment, this boy saved him. After flying for more than 300 meters, Ye Chuan began to fall rapidly, getting closer and closer to seething poisonous mist. Not long ago, he had already tested and knew that he could stay in this poisonous mist for a short period of time without instantly getting petrified. But, after the Demonic Dragon Horn was blown, it triggered the ultimate restriction of Demonic Dragon Path, who knows what kind of new changes had occurred in the poisonous mist below? Ye Chuan suddenly got nervous and the next moment, his body lightly glided as if a feather in the sky. After gliding for a 100 meters, his body again began to drop, but along with the cold wind blowing, his body again floated forward, slowing down the speed of dropping. Like this, he floated forward above the poisonous mist. This technique looked graceful and elegant. If Liu Hong was still alive, then she would have found that this technique was similar to her technique, but was more graceful and elegant. Cyan Feather Technique! Ye Chuan used a technique he had mastered in his previous life and drifted in the air. What Liu Hong had learned was merely an incomplete version, moreover, was also in a mess. But, the Cyan Feather Technique he was displaying now was the true Cyan Feather Technique cultivated to the ultimate attainment. With this technique, he could float continuously for many years. This was the best technique to cross deserts, seas, ominous domains, and other places. Ye Chuan had long mastered the essence of this technique, so he can use it as he pleased. Merely, since his current cultivation was far behind the time when he was at his peak in his previous life, he still was unable to display the true might of Cyan Feather Technique. Now, he truly didn¡¯t know whether he could successfully drift to the entrance of the Demonic Dragon Hall or not. Conversely, Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince were straightforwardly rushing forward. One at the front and the other at the back, they flew over and landed in front of the door of Demonic Dragon Hall. They were more scared than hurt. Great experts after all were great experts, the gap between Rank 7 Xiushi and Rank 7 Daoist Master was truly big! Ye Chuan inwardly thought, if he had broken through to Daoist Master realm, then he wouldn¡¯t have become so passive at this moment. Moreover, just a moment ago, he would have been able to kill Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han before he had the change to severely injure Golden Dragon King! ¡°Hahaha, Demonic Dragon Hall, as it turned out this paradise realm is called Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. It¡¯s mine, the inheritance of this paradise realm is mine, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± After landing in front of the entrance of Demonic Dragon Hall, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han couldn¡¯t help but roar with laughter. Then, looking around, he saw Ye Chuan who was floating more than 100 meters away, and his complexion suddenly became ice cold, then he punched out. A powerful blast suddenly caused the terrifying poisonous mist to seethe violently. Ye Chuan let out a muffled groan as he felt like his chest was hit by an invisible hammer, then he was sent flying back. Instantly, the distance between Ye Chuan and Demonic Dragon Hall increased from 100 meters to 200 meters. And before he could stabilize, another fierce blast of a fist wind hit him, again sending him flying, which in turn increased the distance between him and Demonic Dragon Hall. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was sinister and vicious, he repeatedly punched in the air, not letting Ye Chuan land in front of the entrance of Demonic Dragon Hall. As long as Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t come over in one breath, he was screwed, he would fall into the poisonous mist and change into an ice-cold statue. ¡°Li Guang Han, you are too despicable!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia made a move. She pulled out her sword hanging on her waist and along with the sound of drawing sword, the tip of the sword appeared in front of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, directly stabbing towards space between his eyes. ¡°Zixia girl, is it worth to do this for the third-grade disciple of the third-grade sect? Let¡¯s cooperate and obtain the inheritance of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. And later, when I became the emperor, you can be in the control of my imperial harem, moreover, I will decree your Heavenly Yao Sect to serve as the state religion, how about it?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han dodged the sharp sword and looking at aloof and refined Heavenly Maiden, he persistently dodged without counterattacking. And seeing the beautiful face of Heavenly Maiden from close proximity, he gaze slowly became scorching hot. Chapter 259: The battle of experts Chapter 259: The battle of experts Bone-chilling sword light streaked across the sky. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t say a word and used her sharp sword to answer the question of Da Qin Crown Prince. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was tall, sturdy, and dignified in appearance. Furthermore, being a person from imperial family, he was wealthy and full of confidence. In the capital, no one knows how many well-bred girls secretly held strong admiration for him. But, for some unknown reasons, Heavenly Maiden found him unpleasing to the eye. She couldn¡¯t tell the specific reasons, but in her heart, she rejected, detested and didn¡¯t even want to speak a word to him. The gaze of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han became even hotter. And he fought with spirit wanting to use powerful cultivation to conquer this woman before his eyes. The more Heavenly Maiden didn¡¯t speak, the more unique, aloof and refined she appeared in the eyes of Da Qin Crown Prince. If one could obtain casually without any effort, then that would be boring and would be thrown to one side after playing for a bit. But, Heavenly Maiden like icy beauties were interesting to court. Da Qin Crown Prince was an expert and also was a rare genius in the imperial family of Da Qin Dynasty. He had rich fighting experience and was completely different from profligate sons who indulge in dissipation all day long. But similarly, he also had rich experience in courting a lady as he had experienced beauties everywhere when he was still young in age. He knew how to deal with Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia like women. The more arrogant on the surface, the more coquettish in the heart, later, after obtaining you, see how this crown prince will ** and conquer you! Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han sneered in his heart, and his eyes blazed like torches sizing up Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Swish swish swish, the sword of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia became faster and faster, and a seven-colored halo gradually appeared on the back of her head. Her swordsmanship didn¡¯t seem to have any profoundness, merely was fast, but, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han gradually felt pressure. Every stab of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia made the soul of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han jump involuntarily. The faster the sword, the more violently his soul jumped. Later, Da Qin Crown Prince felt as if his soul wanted to jump out of his body, forcibly separating from the body, and his head also began to ache. Clearly, he was not hit by the sword, but his head wanted to crack open. Soul Rendering Sword! Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia used a deadly attack of Heavenly Yao Sect without batting her eyelids. Just like a frog in the hot water, when Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han felt anything but reassuring, he had already sunk and it was hard to free himself. At this moment, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han discovered that he was too careless and his complexion become solemn. After dodging a round of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s attacks, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han had no choice but to counterattack, still, he didn¡¯t rely on any weapon, he counterattacked barehanded. After those series of punches, the offense of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia slowly simmered down. Now, both sides were evenly matched. The Soul Rendering Sword of Heavenly Maiden was very powerful. It made Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han feel like his head was about to explode, but the Emperor Fist of latter also similarly surprised Heavenly Maiden. She didn¡¯t dare to be careless. The punches of this fellow was so powerful that the remaining shockwave burst open her seven colored war robe! Two Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts fought in front of Demonic Dragon Hall. One was the crown prince of Da Qin Dynasty, who was greatly favored by Da Qin King; the other was Heavenly Maiden of Heavenly Yao Sect who was the next Heavenly Empress of Heavenly Yao Sect. These two people fought because of Ye Chuan, but after initial skirmish, it however developed into the contest between Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect. Both sides began to go all out. If Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han won, then that represented the victory of secular power Da Qin Dynasty and their prestige would soar higher than cultivating sects. If Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia won, then that represents the victory of cultivating sects and they could suppress overweeningly ambitious secular dynasty. In front of Demonic Dragon Hall, seething poisonous mist filled the air. A figure, just like a feather, drifted dangerously at the edge of this poisonous mist. Taking advantage of the occasion when Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was tied up by Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, Ye Chuan finally landed in front of the entrance of Demonic Dragon Hall and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, his attention was immediately attracted by the fierce battle of two people. The Soul Rendering Sword of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was something he was not unfamiliar with. In his previous life, when he ruled over Wilderness World, Blue Eyed Yao Empress had consulted about the profoundness of Soul Rendering Sword many times. And like Cloud Mist Sect, to a certain extent, ancient Heavenly Yao Sect had also inherited Ye Chuan¡¯s portion. Ye Chuan watched this battle without blinking his eyes and he paid more attention to the Emperor Fist of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Before, since he was in a critical situation, he didn¡¯t have time to carefully ponder about the strength of Emperor Fist. Now, witnessing this move of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, he slowly began to know the powerful aspect of this technique. Every time when the punch was executed, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han not only transfer the energy of his enter body, he even added the spiritual power. As a result, each punch was very powerful and the fist wind of the punch contained soul attack. It was somewhat similar to Demonic Sound, thus a timid person would tremble with terror just listening to the sound of this fist wind. Tyrannical, powerful and ferocious, each attack was full of killing intent. This kind of technique, a broad-minded and mild person basically couldn¡¯t cultivate it. It can be said that this technique was specially customized to the imperial family. Cultivating this technique all year around would make people even more domineering and overweeningly ambitious, and in turn, if a person with lofty aspiration and high ideals cultivates this technique, then like a tiger that has grown wings, the essence of this technique would emerge. Ye Chuan was secretly startled, he couldn¡¯t imagine if Da Qin King personally unleased this Emperor Fist, then how ferocious it would be! All under the heaven, perhaps, only the first-rate experts like White Haired Heavenly Empress could contend with him! ¡°The technique of the world beyond the highest heaven is really fierce, how exactly do the people of that place cultivate? How tyrannical is their physical body?¡± Ye Chuan was absentminded. After observing for a moment, he was certain that the rumor outside was correct. This Emperor Fist being displayed by Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was clearly different from the normal technique of Wilderness World. It was especially ferocious and violent, reminding Ye Chuan of that Black Sea of the world beyond the highest heaven linked up by cyan small crystal man. In his previous life, he had never heard of such technique before he entered God Burial Valley. Clearly, when he was trapped in God Burial Valley for millions of years, this technique of the world beyond the highest heaven was handed down. Perhaps, an expert of the world beyond the highest heaven wandered into Wilderness World, then passed this technique to certain generation emperor of Da Qin Dynasty. ¡°Zixia girl, excuse me! Wait until I kill this brat Ye Chuan, then we can slowly battle 300 rounds, and also slowly comprehend the ultimate profound mystery of this world inside Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han roared with laughter, then suddenly breaking away from the battle, he ferociously rushed towards Ye Chuan and punched. Even before his punch landed on Ye Chuan, the ferocious strength behind this punch made the heart of Ye Chuan jump madly and his breathing became heavy. If he didn¡¯t dodge, his body would be blown off by this punch! ¡°Ye Chuan, get out of the way, be careful!¡± The complexion of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia changed. Only at this moment, she noticed that Ye Chuan had already arrived in front of the door of Demonic Dragon Hall. She gritted her teeth and rushed as her sharp sword stabbed straight towards the heart Da Qin Crown Prince. Even though they were similarly Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts, in the end, she was still a bit weaker than Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. ¡°Kill!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince shouted loudly and his attack remained unchanged. He unexpectedly turned a blind eye to the long sword behind him, determined to kill Ye Chuan with one punch. Chapter 260: Wifey, save me Chapter 260: Wifey, save me This fell is truly insane! What Da Qin Crown Prince, clearly was a big devil who sought revenge just for an angry look and kills people without batting an eyelid! Looking at Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who was bearing down menacingly, the pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk and he suddenly became tense. The sword of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was elegant and was also very fast, but Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han also wasn¡¯t slow. He wanted to kill Ye Chuan with one punch, then turn around and block or use his tough body to withstand this sword of Heavenly Maiden. Not only this fellow kill people without batting an eyelid, he was sufficiently ruthless to himself too. In order to kill Ye Chuan, he didn¡¯t hesitate to risk his own life. Ye Chuan suddenly swayed and he began to fade away. The heavy punch of Da Qin Crown Prince ferociously smashed down as if a ten thousand jin hammer with astonishing strength. Unfortunately, his punch only smashed the afterimage of Ye Chuan. At the critical moment, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to take this punch head-on even with his doughty body, he used Peerless Style Technique to dodge and then hid behind Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han became ice-cold and sinister. He turned sideways to dodge the sharp sword of Heavenly Maiden, then seeing Ye Chuan had hidden behind Heavenly Maiden, his complexion became even more unsightly. ¡°Brat, what kind of ability is hiding behind a woman? If you have guts, then stand out, I will use only one hand. Let¡¯s see whether your blade is faster or my punch is even faster!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who had lost three fingers, seeing Ye Chuan, he was burned with anger, in addition, seeing him hiding behind Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he couldn¡¯t help but become even more furious. As the crown prince of Da Qin Dynasty, from his childhood, one may well say that he had enjoyed glory, splendor, wealth and rank. In addition to this, his talent was also outstanding. As a result, from the young age, his cultivation was also outstanding, placing himself above numerous princes and emperor¡¯s grandchildren. Even nobles and state teachers must be polite when they saw him, when had he ever eaten this kind of big loss? The loss of three fingers not only affected his fighting capability, it also damaged his appearance. For Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who always laid stress on his appearance, this loss was out-and-out galling shame and deep humiliation. In Demonic Dragon Path, when Liu Hong and Murong Zhuifeng were entreating piteously, he remained unmoved, unwilling to easily fight to the death with Ye Chuan. But now, he was determined to kill Ye Chuan. On the one hand, he wanted to kill Ye Chuan to vent his pent-up anger for cutting off his fingers; and on the other hand, he also wanted to kill Ye Chuan to eliminate a competitor. There were numerous experts that entered this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, but in the end, only three of them arrived in front of this Demonic Dragon Hall, so killing Ye Chuan, only he and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia would remain here. ¡°Yes, hiding behind a woman is not an ability, but not having a place to hide even if you want to hide, isn¡¯t that even more miserable?¡± Ye Chuan sneered. He wanted to summon human faced snakes, sea demoness and others to assist in battle, but seeing Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia holding a sharp sword, he suddenly had a thought and he hid behind her. ¡°When I am in danger, I have a beautiful and reliable woman to lean on. This is also an ability; being alone and wretched is not the ability, is a failure as a human. Your Highness, even if you ascend the throne one day, becoming the next Da Qin King and have hundreds of millions li land, but you will still be a failure. Will you be able to smile while hugging a beauty and be free and unfettered like me? I, Ye Chuan doesn¡¯t have any ability, I am just a third-rate disciple of the third-rate sect, but compared to you, I am still more capable. Your Highness, resign to your fate!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia snorted but continued to stand in front of Ye Chuan without moving. Seeing this, the complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han changed, becoming ghastly pale. Even though he had the identity of being Crown Prince of Da Qin Dynasty, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t even look at him properly, but, she repeatedly made moves to help Ye Chuan, this third-rate disciple of the third-rate sect. How could he endure this? Truly like Ye Chuan had said, he was a failure! Looking at Heavenly Maiden who was a matchless beauty, the heartbeat of Da Qin Crown Prince accelerated and he found Ye Chuan all the more not pleasing to his eyes. Then, taking a deep breath, he suddenly rushed over. He bypassed Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and directly pounced onto Ye Chuan, ferociously punching him. Just a moment ago, he still wanted to knock Ye Chuan down to the ground and cut off his fingers one by one to vent off his anger, but now, he was so angry that he couldn¡¯t wait to punch Ye Chuan into a meat sauce! ¡°Not good, wifey, save me!¡± Ye Chuan dodged, and using Cyan Feather Technique, he ducked behind Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia once again. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t utter a word, but the sword in her hand suddenly buzzed along with dense killing intent. Not because Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han had launched the surprise attack rather because of the word ¡®wifey¡¯ of Ye Chuan. She was so angry that she nearly couldn¡¯t breathe. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han stopped his step, gritting his teeth, and his complexion became fluctuated. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was so angry that her killing intent increased vastly. She had the impulse to chop Ye Chuan into two half. Merely, how could Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han know this, feeling the killing intent of Heavenly Maiden had increased vastly, he was intimidated, shocked and also furious, reviewing the relationship of Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden once again. Wifey? When did this brat Ye Chuan hook up with Heavenly Maiden? What kind of means did he use? Can it be that they had already¡­¡­ The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han became very ugly. The women of capital, regardless of girls from the noble house or pretty girl of humble birth or famous courtesans of the red-light district, he was already tired of them. Finally, he ran into an aloof and refined woman who had aroused his interest with great difficulty, but, Ye Chuan had already taken her. Compared to losing three fingers, this feeling and uncomfortableness in his heart made him even more depressed. As long as he made a great effort in cultivation, one day, he would breakthrough to the Half-Saint realm, then the lost fingers would grow back. But at that time, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia would have already settled down with Ye Chuan for many years. The Heavenly Maiden of that time, would she still be the Heavenly Maiden of now? The eyes of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han became bright red like an insane yao beast. In his heart, he had an impulse to exterminate everything. He wanted to attack Ye Chuan one again, and even go all out with Heavenly Maiden, but after thinking over for a while, his reason still prevailed over his impulse. He had already missed the opportunity to kill Ye Chuan, forcibly attacking him would only attract the joint attack of Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden. And in the end, he might not be able to kill Ye Chuan, moreover, suffering serious injuries, he might not be able to obtain the inheritance of this Paradise Realm, failing to achieve his objective. ¡°Brat, let¡¯s see how long can you hide behind Heavenly Maiden!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han said in a hoarse voice as he ferociously glared at Ye Chuan, then he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Demonic Dragon Hall, disappearing into the gate. What a narrow escape! Finally, send off the Slaughter God! Ye Chuan wiped the sweat in his forehead as he watched Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han disappearing into the gate. Then, he sighed in relief. The might of the restriction in the air of this paradise realm was powerful. Floating an extremely short distance of one kilometer, he had exhausted astonishing amount of vitality. In addition, there were the attacks of Da Qin Crown Prince. At that time, Ye Chuan had thought that he would fall into the poisonous mist and die quite a few times. After flying to the front of Demonic Dragon Hall, he was already a withered oil lamp. If Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han had forcibly attacked him regardless of everything to kill him, then even with the help of Heavenly Maiden, he would have died with certainty. At that time, a cold sword was suddenly placed in the neck of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan who had just relaxed suddenly became tense again. Turning around, he saw the beautiful face of Heavenly Maiden was covered with a layer of coldness, and her killing intent was surging. Chapter 261: Stone Coffin Restriction Chapter 261: Stone Coffin Restriction ¡°Brat, just now, who did you call wifey?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia with cold killing intent slightly used her strength and a blood mark appeared on the neck of Ye Chuan. If she pressed her sharp blade further down a little, then she could cut open the skin of Ye Chuan, then cut off his head. No man had ever dared to even look straight at aloof and refined Heavenly Maiden who had always set herself high above the masses in Heavenly Yao Sect. But here Ye Chuan called her ¡®wifey¡¯, so, she was so angry that it was unbearable. The reason why she had made a move to save him was to prevent Ye Chuan from dying in the hands of Da Qin Crown Prince, so as to comply with the exhortation of her Master White haired Heavenly Empress, lest after the death of Ye Chuan, Heaven Burning Furnace would fall into the hands of Da Din Crown Prince. The people who knew their situation clearly understood what was going on, but those who didn¡¯t know would believe that something must have happened between these two people. ¡°Zixia girl, I was wrong, I was calling Da Qin Crown Prince.¡± Ye Chuan answered with an honest appearance. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia chuckled. She wanted to be angry but she couldn¡¯t get angry all of a sudden. Calling a dignified Da Qin Crown Prince wifey, only Ye Chuan can speak out such words. He truly was shameless. ¡°Zixia girl, can you remove your sword first? Since my courage is so small, in this position, I am very nervous.¡± Ye Chuan said and he slightly turned his head and happened to see the chuckling appearance of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. As if the most beautiful peach blossom in the world, she burst into bloom in front of him! In an instant, Ye Chuan involuntarily became absentminded. Not speaking about his previous life when he concealed the heaven, even after he was reborn as the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, he had seen many peerless beauties. Zhu Sijia was beautiful, shrewish and unruly. She showed the vigor of a young woman. After falling in love, she could accompany her sweetheart to his heart content and also can accompany him to walk around the ends of the earth, tasting the stimulation and freedom of all over. She absolutely had universal appeal. Tuoba Xiaoniao was gentle and soft as water. She was an endearing little bird and she was also good at understanding others. After falling in love, no matter what her sweetheart said, she would follow everything without complaint or regret. Heavenly Maiden was different. There was no playfulness like Zhu Sijia and also no cuteness and helplessness of Tuoba Xiaoniao. She was cold but had a unique style. Her entire heart was frozen and only a person she truly likes could make her heart bloom. ¡°What are you looking? Still not walking quickly!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia reverted back to her ice-cold appearance and retracting her sword, she walked away towards the entrance of Demonic Dragon Hall. Ye Chuan came back to his senses and followed in large strides. Looking at the indistinctly visible figure under the seven colored war robe of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, his heart swayed again. The figure of Liu Hong was sufficiently hot, but the figure of Heavenly Maiden exceeded her. Liu Hong relied on revealing. Her clothes were very short that couldn¡¯t be any shorter. Relying on revealing willowy waist, a pair of slender legs as well as her curvy figure, she attracted the eyes of others. But, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was almost exactly opposite. She was tightly covered from head to toe, and at the first glance, nothing could be seen. However, upon closer observation, one could notice her curvy body under her seven colored war robe. Sinful, so sinful! Ye Chuan shook his head and perfectly knew that staring at the body of others like this was not good, but he still couldn¡¯t help looking a few more times. At that moment, Heavenly Maiden who was walking in the front suddenly stopped. Ye Chuan had a guilty conscience and just when he was about to make some excuses, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Inside Demonic Dragon Hall, it was completely empty. There was only a platform at the end of this hall where a stone coffin was placed. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who had entered first was standing still not far away, and he was sweating profusely. In the air, there was a strange and obscure energy fluctuation spread all over. ¡°How come you are not walking?¡± Ye Chuan was still confused. He didn¡¯t notice that the forehead of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was also covered with beads of sweat. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t move, look under your feet.¡± The voice of Heavenly Maiden resounded. She was terrified and was even trembling. Ye Chuan pulled himself together and looked carefully. Only then, he noticed that under the feet of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, at an unknown time, a halo had appeared. This halo was continuously fluctuating. Sometimes, it would blackened and turn into nothing and sometimes, it would change into the head of dragon, seemingly, wanting to open its mouth and swallow a person whole. Ye Chuan still couldn¡¯t feel anything, but the limbs of Heavenly Maiden who was standing inside this halo were stiff, and she felt incomparable pressure and danger. Not far away, the halo under the feet of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was clearer, and the feeling of danger was even stronger. Even with their powerful cultivation, they didn¡¯t dare to move randomly. The Demonic Dragon Hall was empty, there was not a single guardian at sight, but if one step in without careful consideration, then one would immediately fall into a terrifying trap. The restriction of this hall was even more dangerous and terrifying compared to the restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall! The forehead of Ye Chuan was also covered with sweat. He lowered his head to look and saw a halo under his feet too. It was so dim that it was hard to tell if it really exists, and was much dimmer compared to the halo under the feet of Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince, but carefully sensing it, it was also dangerous and unfathomable. The closer you are to the stone coffin at the end of this hall, the more dangerous it was. Only Gods knows what would happen after you step forward. Inside the hall, silence reigns, they could even hear their own heartbeat. Also they didn¡¯t know from where the cold wind was blowing, but all three felt colder and colder. And due to the abnormal sweating, they were drench and they couldn¡¯t help trembling. Visible enemies were not that terrifying, but unknown and invisible enemies were more terrifying. ¡°Ye Chuan, can you go backward and exit this Demonic Dragon Hall?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia suddenly broke the silence and said in somewhat trembling voice. Like Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, when she noticed something was amiss, it was already too late. The halo under her feet gave her a strong sense of danger, so she didn¡¯t dare to advance and also didn¡¯t dare to retreat. She had a kind of intuition, as long as she moved slightly, she would immediately trigger the halo restriction. But, Ye Chuan on the other hand was at the back, so he was in the least danger among them three. Rank 7 Daoist Master Heavenly Maiden placed her hope of escaping on Ye Chuan. Sensing the strong danger, she no longer wanted to approach the stone coffin at the end of this hall and obtain the inheritance of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Now, she just wanted to be out of danger. Ye Chuan slightly moved his leg, and he immediately felt great danger in his heart. The halo under his feet was very dim, but it quickly changed into the head of a dragon. As soon as he took a step back, he would immediately trigger the restriction and attract a terrifying attack. Can¡¯t retreat, then advance forward? Ye Chuan thought and looking at Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han not far away from them, he gritted his teeth, and pluck his courage to take a risk. But, he didn¡¯t lift his legs to walk forward, rather secretly used Cyan Feather Technique to float forward without moving his feet. Whoosh! A cold wind blew against him and goosebumps appeared on the arms of Ye Chuan, but he successfully stood side by side with Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. And more importantly, the halo under his feet didn¡¯t change, still was dim. Compared to the halo under the feet of Heavenly Maiden who was standing in the same position as him, his halo was much dimmer and the feeling of danger was also much weaker. One cannot walk inside the Demonic Dragon Hall, can only shift to the stone coffin? The eyes of Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince shone and they got excited. Chapter 262: Truly unintentional Chapter 262: Truly unintentional Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who was trapped in the same place suddenly advanced forward but his legs didn¡¯t move. Even his entire lower body was absolutely still. He used a secret technique for a translational motion. Whoosh! A strong wind suddenly blew against the face of Ye Chuan. After discovering the trick to move inside the Demonic Dragon Hall, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han didn¡¯t rush towards the stone coffin of the altar, instead rushed towards Ye Chuan. His complexion was ferocious and was full of killing intent wanting to kill Ye Chuan. Even after his unsuccessful attempt to kill Ye Chuan outside the Demonic Dragon Hall, this fellow still hadn¡¯t dropped the idea. Whenever he had the chance, he wanted to first kill Ye Chuan. This matter happened so suddenly that even Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t have time to stop it. ¡°Brat, this time I will see how you will dodge, hahahaha!¡± Seeing the stunned expression of Ye Chuan who was caught unprepared, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han roared with laughter. After killing Ye Chuan, the treasure inside that stone coffin will be his and the aloof and refined Heavenly Maiden will also be his. He no longer needed to worry about being ruined by this third-rate disciple of a third-rate sect. Heavenly Maiden! If she truly became the wife of Ye Chuan, then he would waste day and night under pressure and even if he, Li Ghaung Han died, he would still vomit blood. ¡°Li Guang Han, stop!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia shouted loudly, and wanted to rush over to stop but she was a step slow. In Demonic Dragon Hall, it was inconvenient to move, it was far harder to move as they please compared to outside, so she could only watch the heavy punch of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han hit Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan moved. He didn¡¯t retreat, rather took a step forward. And when the punch of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was about to land on his face, the lower body of Ye Chuan became still. His legs firmly stayed still on the ground, but his thigh and upper body suddenly bent backward, making a parallel line with the ground, narrowly dodging the heavy punch of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Shortly afterward, a blade light flashed as seven sharp blades appeared in cracks of his fingers. After that, a sad and shrill cry suddenly resounded in the Demonic Dragon Hall. The instant Ye Chuan brushed past Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, seven sharp blades left deep wounds on the legs of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Instantly, the legs of this tall, sturdy and overbearing Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han were dripping with blood. His legs were nearly cut off, nearly turning into a cripple like Murong Zhuifeng. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han¡¯s technique was very powerful, and even Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t dare to take his Emperor Fist head on, but movement technique was still a long way off. Ye Chuan however was different, inside this unique space, the might of Cyan Feather Technique was further enhanced. All were translational motion technique, but the flexibility, speed of activation and the angle of translational motion made both Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince who were Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts felt helpless. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, brat, you dared to injure me?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was furious. He suddenly turned around and rushed over, ferociously punching the air, then a powerful wind of the punch whistled towards Ye Chuan. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia became angry, she took out her sword and stabbed straight towards the heart of Da Qin Crown Prince. The counterattack of Ye Chuan was beyond all expectation, but compared to Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, his cultivation after all was much lower. This Emperor Fist of Da Qin Crown Prince, let alone landing directly on him, even if its wind hit him, Ye Chuan might be unable to bear. Once he staggered and his both legs left the ground, he would immediately trigger the restriction, drawing forth an unknown danger. ¡°Your Highness, thank you, you two can compete, I will go first and take the treasure inside the stone coffin. The inheritance of this paradise realm is mine, hahahaha! Wifey, I leave this mad dog to you, hahahahaha¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan bowed and drawing support from the fist wind of Da Qin Crown Prince, he quickly advanced forward, going straight to the stone coffin at the end of this hall. Demonic Dragon Hall was dangerous and unfathomable. No one had ever seen such restrictions. The deeper one went, the more dangerous, even Da Qin Crown Prince and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t dare to rush recklessly, but Ye Chuan was different, seizing this opportunity, he took the initiative to rush towards the stone coffin. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han paused and simultaneously stopped. And a moment later, they coincidentally chased after Ye Chuan at the same time. And the speed of their translational motion was faster than Ye Chuan. Why did they take the risk to enter this paradise realm? Naturally for the inheritance of the paradise realm, so, seeing Ye Chuan was about to get his hands fist on it, how could these two bear it? No need to mention about Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, for the inheritance of this paradise realm, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was also same. At the critical moment, she could help Ye Chuan, but it was impossible for her to let Ye Chuan obtain the inheritance of this paradise realm without any fight. Obtaining the inheritance of this paradise realm, the fate of Heavenly Yao Sect was bound to become stronger and it will become the number one sect in both reality and in name. She herself would also have great benefit and she might even be able to make a breakthrough to the pinnacle of Daoist Master realm, or even might breakthrough to Half-Saint realm like her Master White Haired Heavenly Empress! ¡°Your Highness, you are already too late. Zixia girl, don¡¯t compete with me, after your husband succeed, will you lack benefit? If I obtain good cultivation technique, then we two can cultivate and comprehend together.¡± Ye Chuan turned around and laughed evilly, then a three zhang flame suddenly appeared in his palm, then a flame wall suddenly soared, blocking ferocious Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Although Fire Blowing Palm was a simple technique, it was extremely practical. Using it suddenly, one could obtain many wondrous effects. Damn it! Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han flew into the rage. If he detoured this flame wall, then it would be too late to catch Ye Chuan. So, gritting his teeth, regardless of the danger of triggering the restriction, he suddenly jumped and directly scaled over the flame war, then landing in front of Ye Chuan, he turned around and punched. Jumping over the flame wall, turning around and attacking, all of these moves were performed at one go, the cultivation of Rank 7 Daoist Master realm was fully displayed. ¡°Lunatic, Your Highness, do you want to drag us together to hell?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t foresee this. He had never thought that Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was so ferocious, he truly didn¡¯t care about the restriction of this hall. And since he was caught unprepared, he didn¡¯t have time to dodge, he could only extend his hands to block. Dong, he was sent flying and just happened to collide with Heavenly Maiden who had just jumped over the flame wall. This collision sent powerful air blast all around. Two towering and soft things dispersed the momentum of Ye Chuan. Those two round things were soft but their elasticity was astonishing. On the back of his head, he had a kind of wondrous feeling. ¡°Ye Chuan, you bastard!¡± Heavenly Maiden let out a muffled groan and a blood leaked out of the corner of her mouth. Soon after that, she cursed furiously. She was so angry and ashamed that she wanted to cut off the head of Ye Chuan with her sword. Ye Chuan realized where he had collided, so he smiled with embarrassment. This truly wasn¡¯t intentional, want to blame, then blame this lunatic Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. ¡°The inheritance of paradise realm is mine, and you, Ye Chuan, you also must die!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han¡¯s killing intent soared, and after his attack succeeded, his eyes shone. But, just when he was about to step forward and kill Ye Chuan, he suddenly stopped and stood motionless. The halo underneath his feet suddenly shone with dazzling light, then a quaking sounds came from deep underground which was accompanied by a vague soul-stirring roar, seemingly, an ancient yao beast was reawakened by the three people. The restriction of this paradise realm was triggered! Now, the group of three people couldn¡¯t afford to fight each other. And their complexion became tense at the same time. Chapter 263: Demonic Dragon Wheel Chapter 263: Demonic Dragon Wheel Inside Demonic Dragon Hall, countless halos appeared all of a sudden. At this moment, the three people discovered that there were many runes engraved on the floor. A single rune was a single halo. Regardless of anywhere they go, they would step on a rune. Moreover, an energy fluctuation without match suddenly emerged from the depths of the ground and engulfed the entire Demonic Dragon Hall. And that muffled cracking sounds came closer and closer. The three people didn¡¯t dare to move and sweated profusely. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who had outstanding cultivation suddenly had an intuition, as long as he slightly moved even his finger, then this incomparable energy would come up and squash him into a meat pulp. These three people felt as if they were surrounded by seas, and all around, there were 100 meters tall terrifying waves and they just happened to be in the eye of a storm. A slight carelessness would tear them into pieces without leaving anything behind. A faint sigh suddenly came from behind the stone coffin. The three people looked up and happen to notice that a head had come out from behind the stone coffin. ¡°Little Demonic Dragon? As it turned out you were hiding here!¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan shone, recalling that little dragon he had seen in the stone forest. And looking carefully, he could vaguely see that wound on its body. ¡°Catch it, this dragon is manipulating the restriction of this hall!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han suddenly saw the light in his mind, and at this moment, he couldn¡¯t afford to attend to his personal grudge against Ye Chuan. But, just when he was about to rush towards that little Demonic Dragon gritting his teeth, the latter suddenly flew out of Demonic Dragon Hall leaving behind its afterimages, three people and its dragon roar. Then, that muffled cracking sounds coming from the depth of the underground suddenly intensified. The halos everywhere within the Demonic Dragon Hall disappeared and turned into three shackles, which simultaneously tied Ye Chuan, Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince to the ground. Meanwhile, the ceiling cracked open, and three large sharp wheels dropped down towards these three people. These large wheels had many huge iron teeth, and like a scimitar, they were glimmering with pallid light. If those wheels were to smash them, then they would certainly die. And on the flank of those wheels, iron teeth decapitating a huge dragon was carved. Demonic Dragon Wheel! This was a killing weapon especially used to punish and behead dragons. No one in the world could withstand it with only the strength of physical body! ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± The three people screamed. They wanted to dodge, but they were fixed in the same place by those shackles. They couldn¡¯t move their limbs, and even couldn¡¯t move their head. They could only lie down facing upward, helplessly watching at those terrifying huge wheels pressing down. When the distance between them and those wheels was only 5 meters, those three wheels suddenly stopped and an old and ice-cold voice resounded in the hall, ¡°You three, welcome to the forbidden area of my Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. You three, if you are fortunate, then you will obtain my inheritance, but if you are unfortunate, then you will receive my punishment. Now the playtime has come, be sure to never hesitate.¡± A huge crystal screen suddenly appeared on the ceiling, then along with the flashing of white light, words appeared on the screen. ¡°The cultivation of us common people are divided into what realms?¡± ¡°Five realms, Wuzhi realm, Xiushi realm, Daoist Master realm, Sage realm and Immortal realm!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince shouted himself hoarse, trying to be the first to answer. Kacha, kacha, the Demonic Dragon Wheels above Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden fell one meter down, only the Demonic Dragon Wheel above Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was still. ¡°Hahaha, I won, I won¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han roared with laughter. He was very happy in his heart! Although he was not out of danger yet and that terrifying Demonic Dragon Wheel was still suspended above him, but compared to Heavenly Maiden and Ye Chuan, he was safer by one meter. Even if all of them died, Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden would be the first to die. The crystal screen on the ceiling flashed with white light again and new words appeared along with the aged voice, ¡°How many days do we have in our life?¡± ¡°36,500 days, no, 365,000 days, no, wrong, there are¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han¡¯s voice was the loudest as he tried to be the first to answer again. Merely, all the answer he replied felt unsuitable. The lifespan of every person was different. The lifespan of mortals and cultivators was also greatly different. Some can only live for some decades and some can live for thousands of years without any problem. How could this be answered? Kacha, the Demonic Dragon Wheel above Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han fell by one meter, but the Demonic Dragon Wheels above both Heavenly Maiden and Ye Chuan remained still. And shortly afterward, kacha, the wheel fell another one meter down, leaving only the short distance of 3 meters between the wheel and Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Answering correctly, the wheel remained still, but answering wrongly, the wheel would fall two meters down as a punishment! The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han became pale, and he hastily closed his mouth, no longer daring to utter a sound. At that time, beside the crystal screen, they noticed a countdown. The number was rapidly counting down from 30. Having experienced Ghost King Chessboard game, Ye Chuan quickly understood what this countdown meant. If no one answered correctly until the time is up, then the wheels above him and Heavenly Maiden might also descend by one meter. And if they were unable to answer a few questions correctly in succession, then they would be like the image on the flank of those wheels. A clanking sound suddenly came from the side. Always sober and calm Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia couldn¡¯t help trembling. Her brows were also creased tightly, merely, even after racking her brains and recalling the books she had seen in her life, she still didn¡¯t know the answer. The number beside the crystal screen quickly reached 5, then 4, 3¡­., and helplessly watching the countdown that was about to reach zero, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han also trembled. Regardless of the identity and regardless of the cultivation base, this time, all were treated equally without discrimination. Being trapped in this terrifying and deadly restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall, all were unable to move. After a period of time, all three of them would die, no one could escape alive. ¡°Three days, yesterday, today and tomorrow!¡± The voice of Ye Chuan suddenly resounded as the number beside the crystal screen reached zero. Kacha, kacha, the wheel above the head of Ye Chuan didn¡¯t move, but the wheels above Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown prince again descended by one meter each. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was still fine, as there was still 3 meters distance between her and that wheel. But, the wheel above Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was only 2 meters away from him. Answering wrongly, in addition to double punishment, if not answered correctly in time, then there was still additional punishment. In an instant, that terrifying wheel above him descended by 3 meters. He felt like those sharp iron teeth were about to stab through the space between his eyes! This game wasn¡¯t exciting and stimulating, this was the game of death! Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han wailed mournfully in his heart. He wanted to curse loudly, but just after opening his mouth, he hastily shut his mouth tightly. Ghosts know whether the master of this paradise realm was still alive or dead. Just answering wrongly already made him this miserable, if he cursed, then wasn¡¯t that courting death? Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han became a little wiser. Becoming a mute dog, he didn¡¯t dare to speak casually, merely, his face had already become green. Just a moment ago, Heavenly Maiden and Ye Chuan would have died first, but now, it was his turn to die first! The crystal screen flashed with white light once again. The three people looked at it with rapt attention, becoming nervous again. They didn¡¯t know what kind of difficult question would appear this time. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was already quaking with fear, and Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden were also not much better. The slightest carelessness could make their head roll. That scene was too bloody so the three people didn¡¯t dare to even imagine. Chapter 264: Make a wish Chapter 264: Make a wish The white light dispersed and words appeared on the crystal screen. ¡°In the world, how far is the furthest distance?¡± Beside crystal screen, the countdown appeared again, 50, 49, 48¡­¡­ It was very quiet inside the Demonic Dragon Hall, the three people were silent and they could even hear each other¡¯s heartbeat. This time, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han became a little wiser and didn¡¯t dare to answer rashly, instead raked his brain. Heavenly Maiden and Ye Chuan were also same. Interesting! All the other areas were used to test the strength of intruders. But, after arriving here, the approach changed, this place didn¡¯t test the strength of intruders, rather tested their wisdom! The expert coming from the world beyond the highest heaven was indeed extraordinary! The eyes of Ye Chuan blazed like torches and his fighting spirit rose. In his previous life, he had gone through many ominous domains. Among them, there were also many ancient abodes left behind by strong ancient experts. Every ancient abode, more or less, had all kinds of tests, but this was the first time he had encounter this kind of test. Ignoring the cultivation level of intruders, but caring about their wisdom, this master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm was truly interesting. Was his nature like this, liking to ponder over life, thus, come to select the successor like this? Or to say, in his views, all the people of Wilderness World, regardless of their cultivation, were the same without any difference? Ye Chuan found this interesting and his fighting spirit soared. Not far away, the complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han however was ghastly pale and he wanted to curse. The test of this Demonic Dragon Hall appeared refined, but in fact was even more dangerous than other dangers he had experienced. Answering correctly, there was a possibility to obtain the inheritance of this paradise realm, but if not answered, then certain death would be the outcome, moreover, they had to helplessly watch that terrifying Demonic Dragon Wheel cut off their head! Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who was always very self-confident and had always been setting himself high above the masses began to regret now. If he knew that this would happen at an earlier time, then even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn¡¯t have entered this paradise realm. He had thought that with his cultivation base of Rank 7 Daoist Master realm, even if he encountered some dangers, if he couldn¡¯t crush it, he could at least able to escape unscathed. But now, he was completely suppressed by the deadly restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall, becoming a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be cut into pieces. The countdown beside crystal screen quickly reached 20, then continued to decrease. Now, there was only a few breathe of time left before the countdown reached zero. The time was tight, but the hall was still very quiet. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was truly scared. Answering correct, it was fine, but answering wrong, there would be a punishment. The Demonic Dragon Wheel suspending above him would descend 2 meters down, followed by another punishment. Now, the wheel was only 2 meters away from him, neither too much nor too little, if he answered wrong, then he would die immediately. On the contrary, if he didn¡¯t utter a sound, then Demonic Dragon Wheel would only descend at most one meter, and he would still have the last opportunity. Da Qin Crown Prince didn¡¯t dare to utter a sound and the same was true for Heavenly Maiden. The distance between one ends of Heavenly Fire Continent to other ends was already too far, moreover, overseas furthermore had many islands with many overseas loose cultivators. In addition, after the vast sea, there furthermore was strange Dark Moon Continent, the territory of demonic cultivators. Moreover, beyond Dark Moon Continent, who knows whether there were other islands or continents? This question, it was not that they didn¡¯t want to answer rather they basically were unable to answer. Perhaps, even an honorable Half-Saint realm expert might not know how big this world was. There was always the sky beyond sky, mountain beyond mountain and also sea beyond sea, how could they answer? ¡°In the world, the furthest distance is the distance of heart, how cold the heart is, the more far away it is.¡± When deathly pale Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia were waiting for that terrifying Demonic Dragon Wheels to descend one meter again, the voice of Ye Chuan resounded and he added, ¡°If a couple is harmonious, then even if they are at the opposite ends of the world, their hearts will always be stuck together without any distance between them. If one had unrequited love or share the same bed with different dreams, like that, even if those two are standing together, they are so near and yet worlds apart.¡± Kacha, the Demonic Dragon Wheels of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia descended by one meter respectively. Only the Demonic Dragon Wheel of Ye Chuan remained still, four meters away. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was ghastly pale, with the sharp Demonic Dragon Wheel just one meter away from him, this was his last change. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia also looked pale, with Demonic Dragon Wheel hanging only two meters away from her, she just had one more chance than Da Qin Crown Prince. Like this, it was hard for her to escape death. Sooner or later, she would die. The crystal screen flashed with white light again. This time, the white light continued to remain for an especially long time, they don¡¯t know what kind of big move was it preparing. What kind of person was the master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm? Only gods know that, but he was definitely a big devil who didn¡¯t care about other¡¯s life! Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han¡¯s teeth made chattering sounds, and he was unable to remain calm and collected. Looking at the Demonic Dragon Wheel above Ye Chuan and again looking at the Demonic Dragon Wheel above him, he was so dejected that he wanted to vomit blood. He was the crown prince of majestic Da Qin Dynasty and also a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm peak expert, but, how come he was so inferior to a trifling third-rate disciple of a third-rate sect? Even if he had to die, this brat Ye Chuan should die first! Da Qin Crown Prince was unreconciled in his heart, and he wanted to curse violently, but he didn¡¯t dare to even utter a word, result, he could only curse violently in his heart. Now, his originally handsome face was twisted and incomparably ferocious. And that scared expression was reflected on the crystal screen above him. ¡°Your Highness, want to curse, then curse, it is fine to curse now.¡± Ye Chuan glanced at the crystal screen above them and sneered. After the brief period of panic, he calmed down and calmly observed this extraordinary restriction. ¡°Brat, then why didn¡¯t you say that earlier? Damn it, what is this fucking restriction? Who is this crown prince? Even in death, you should be first¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince who had been suppressing for a long time vomited a mouthful of blood, then cursed loudly. But, before he could finish talking, he suddenly closed his mouth. On the crystal screen above them, suddenly the words began to emerge. If Da Qin Crown Prince had closed his mouth even a second later, then before he could speak one more word, he would have been beheaded. ¡°Everyone below, make a wish.¡± The words on the crystal screen made everyone¡¯s eyes shine. After the questions that made them tremble with terror and also feel despair, the trio finally received the chance to self-redeem. Make a wish? What kind of wish can they make in this situation? Remove this damn wheel, leave this strange and terrifying Demonic Dragon Hall, or obtain the inheritance of this paradise realm? The three people pondered and a trace of vigor appeared in their eyes. Especially Da Qin Crown Prince who thought he would die without doubt, like returning from the gate of hell, he was very excited. The countdown beside the crystal screen became to decrease again. Even if this was the chance to make a wish to self-redeem, there was still time restriction. Thus, Da Qin Crown Prince had even lesser time. Heavenly Maiden still had two chances, and Ye Chuan, this damn bastard, had four chances, but he only had pitiful one chance. If he missed this opportunity, then this Demonic Dragon Wheel will send him, the grand crown prince of majestic Da Qin Dyansty, meet his maker. Chapter 265: My glacier melts only for you Chapter 265: My glacier melts only for you The countdown beside the crystal screen got smaller and smaller. Counting down from 50, the countdown had already reached 27 in a blink of an eye. Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden didn¡¯t utter a word as they still had yet to think of what kind of wish they wanted to make, but Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han couldn¡¯t wait. It was not that he wasn¡¯t calm, rather he was forced by the situation. When the time limit ends, he would have missed this golden opportunity, and that Demonic Dragon Wheel hovering above his head would descend, beheading him. As for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, she will still have a chance, and he didn¡¯t need to speak about Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan had plenty of time to see how he died! ¡°I wish this Demonic Dragon Wheel above me to move away, I wish to leave this goddamned place, I wish to obtain the inheritance of this paradise realm¡­¡­¡± Since the time was tight, Da Qin Crown Prince thought about what to say, then, he became the first person to make a wish. The Demonic Dragon Hall was quiet without any change. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was still tied to the ground like a fish on the chopping board, and that terrifying Demonic Dragon Wheel was still hanging a meter away from him. In one breath, he made three wishes, but not a single one was realized. The master of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm had just asked them to make a wish, but, he had never guaranteed that the wishes made will be fulfilled. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han became deathly pale and truly wanted to vomit blood in his heart. The countdown beside the crystal stone continued to decrease. It will not stop just because Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was cursing furiously and dejected in his heart. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia also opened her mouth, ¡°I don¡¯t want the inheritance of this paradise realm, I only wish to leave this paradise realm.¡± Compared to Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, the wish of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was very simple. After experiencing the power of the restriction of this Demonic Dragon Hall, Heavenly Maiden was also afraid and she gave up the thought of seizing this inheritance of this paradise realm. Unfortunately, such a simple wish also failed to realize. There was still no movement inside Demonic Dragon Hall. It seems the wish of leaving this paradise realm was also too extravagant at this moment. ¡°Haha, hahaha, Zixia girl, you also failed, hahaha¡­¡­¡± The complexion of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia became ugly. Such a simple wish also failed, how could she not be depressed? As for Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, he couldn¡¯t help laughing out loud seeing this. Now, he was not the only one who made a wish and failed. Even though he lost the face, someone was accompanying him, so, how could he not be happy? All said ¡®Good are the words of a dying man¡¯, but Da Qin Crown Prince was different, he was still taking pleasure in other people¡¯s misfortune. At this time, not shutting his mouth, he might trigger a restriction and die, but he couldn¡¯t help gloating. Fortunately, even after laughing heartily, there was no movement in Demonic Dragon Wheel hanging above him. ¡°Even if we die, you will be the first to die, Your Highness, are you happy now?¡± Heavenly Maiden coldly said making Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han unable to be happy. The two people became silent, and they simultaneously looked at Ye Chuan. The countdown beside the crystal screen was continuously decreasing. Among three people, two people had already made the wish and failed. Now, only Ye Chuan was left to make a wish. Da Qin Crown Prince demanded too much, thus failed; the request of Heavenly Maiden was very simple, she only requested to leave this paradise realm, but she also failed; what about Ye Chuan? What kind of wish will he make? Or to say, this was simply the master of this paradise realm toying with them with no intention to fulfill any wish. The two people were confused and also were looking forward to hearing what Ye Chuan would wish. Heavenly Maiden hoped that the wish made by Ye Chuan would succeed, and also hope that he would be able to smoothly leave this goddamned place. Whatever one says, like that, at least, their defining treasure, Heaven Burning Cauldron, would not be buried together with Ye Chuan here in this place without sunlight. Da Qin Crown Prince was almost exactly the opposite, he was looking forward to the failure of Ye Chuan and the harder the punishment he received, the better. When having a bad luck, some people quietly endured hoping his luck would take a turn for the better one day, but there were also some people who hoped to meet even unluckier people so as to find comfort and superior feeling from the latter. Da Qin Crown Prince was clearly this type of person. He was a crown prince of a noble country, but in his heart, the greater part of ordinary people was worthless. ¡°Your Excellency Demonic Dragon, this junior doesn¡¯t wish to escape unscathed from this paradise realm, also doesn¡¯t wish this Demonic Dragon Wheel above me to move away, moreover, I also don¡¯t wish to obtain the inheritance of Your Excellency Demonic Dragon, I just wish the Demonic Dragon Wheel above Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia to move a meter higher, giving her a bit more chance.¡± When the countdown beside the crystal stone nearly returned to zero, the voice of Ye Chuan finally resounded. He spoke in an earnest tone, full of enthusiasm. ¡°If this wish is too excessive, then this junior is willing to have the Demonic Dragon Wheel above me to descend two meters down in exchange for the Demonic Dragon Wheel above Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia to move one meter up. I am willing to compensate twice in exchange for a chance to Zixia girl.¡± At the juncture when his life was at stake, looking at sharp Demonic Dragon Wheel above him, Ye Chuan finally made a wish. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was stunned and doubted whether he had heard wrongly. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was also startled, then, her eyes became red and tears filled her eye sockets. ¡°This idiot, is that worthwhile?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia muttered to herself and did her utmost to endure so as to not break down in public, but her tears uncontrollably flowed down her cheeks and the scene of her and Ye Chuan¡¯s first meeting suddenly appeared vividly in her mind, as if everything had happened just yesterday. From her childhood till now, Hong Zixia grew up in Heavenly Yao Sect, far away from the worldly vulgarity and troubles. From the time she was taken in as the personal disciple of White Haired Heavenly Empress and became the Heavenly Maiden of this generation, she became even more aloof, remote and refined. She had a high position and got whatever she wanted, the only thing that was lacking was affection. In her Master White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s place, she experienced only fear and obedience, and among many disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, she experienced only respect. Although she was aloof and refined on the surface, she was in fact lonely in her heart. No one had ever inquired after her well-being and also had never showing care about her innermost being. Ye Chuan however was different, although he always made her anger, whenever she needed, he would often help her without speaking, showing great consideration. What was the situation now? They might die at any time under these Demonic Dragon Wheels. But, in such situation, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t request to escape unscathed, on the contrary, he wished to make the Demonic Dragon Wheel above him to descend two meters down in exchange for a chance for her to survive? In this world, who can do like Ye Chuan? Master White Haired Heavenly Empress or Elder Tainqin? The tears of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia flowed down, and at this moment, her ice cold heart began to melt for only Ye Chuan alone. Kacha, a soul-shaking sound resounded. The Demonic Dragon Wheel above Ye Chuan truly descended two meters down, and the Demonic Dragon Wheel above Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia moved a meter up, giving her one more chance. The wishes of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia failed, only the wish of Ye Chuan succeed beyond all expectation. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had her eyes wide open and she was unable to believe this. As for Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, his complexion became even more unsightly. His heart itched and a thought that was hard to suppress appeared in his heart. If he was in the place of Heavenly Maiden or Ye Chuan had wished to help him, then how wonderful that would be? Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han didn¡¯t want to die and this thought in his heart became stronger and stronger, merely, he had just cursed and even tried to kill Ye Chuan, so how could he speak such words now? Chapter 266: My heart has a regret Chapter 266: My heart has a regret On the crystal screen, white light flashed again. This time, what kind of question would appear? Will there be a chance to make a wish again? Three people kept their mouth shut as they waited expectantly. Especially Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, with Demonic Dragon Wheel suspending just a meter away from him, he only had the last chance. So, he especially hoped for a chance to make a wish again. If he could turn back the time, then he would never dare to have extravagant hopes of obtaining the inheritance of paradise realm, and also wouldn¡¯t dare to ask to leave this paradise realm, as long as this Demonic Dragon Wheel suspended above him moved one meter up, he would be very satisfied. To be able to live a minute longer was also good! He never had such a strong desire to survive! After the dazzling white light, a series of words appeared on the crystal screen, ¡®Cultivators with Half Saint realm or above cultivation base, cultivate this technique and free yourself. After that, you can choose to leave or also can choose to continue with the next challenge, obtaining the inheritance of this paradise realm in the end.¡¯ Behind these words, there was an obscure technique formula. After those words appeared on the crystal screen, beside the crystal screen, the countdown began. The three people were startled and their complexion changed. ¡°Dog shit, how is this a chance? Isn¡¯t this clearly placing people in a death trap?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince furiously cursed. If he had Half Saint realm cultivation, then would he still be trapped here? Would he have stayed pinned on the ground waiting for a chance to escape with his life? Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was silent and the complexion of Ye Chuan was also not very good-looking. The words of Da Qin Crown Prince was very coarse, but he was also telling the truth. The master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm clearly wanted to put all the intruders of this paradise realm into a death trap. The questions of before, although they were profound, they were also not unbreakable, but now, all of a sudden, a hard problem was placed in front of them. Only Half Saint realm or above cultivators could free themselves, this meant all of them would die here. The final barrier wasn¡¯t testing the strength of intruders, rather directly demanding half Saint realm cultivation. This was equivalent to giving them a death sentence. Despite having the experience of two lifetimes, this time, Ye Chuan was also unable to find a way out. Wrong! Have life then also have death, and in the midst of death, there is also a slim chance of survival. Even when Demonic Dragon Path had collapsed, there was still a slim chance of survival. Looking at the style of the master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, how could she cut off all the route of retreat at this moment? No, I have to carefully look everywhere, there must be a chance to survive! The eyes of Ye Chuan remained at that technique formula at the crystal screen, and tried to comprehend it, unfortunately, his hands and legs were shackled fixed at one place, moreover, he couldn¡¯t condense even a little bit of energy within his body, as a result, he was simply unable to cultivate. On the other side, both Da Qin Crown Prince and Heavenly Maiden were also in the same situation. Sure enough, only Half Saint realm or above cultivators could cultivate this technique to free themselves. The countdown beside crystal screen continued to decrease. It was faster than expected. 10, 9, 8¡­¡­ it quickly reached the final countdown. ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to die, no¡­¡­¡± The complexion of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was strained, at this final moment, he was overwhelmed by boundless fear. Looking at that countdown, his mind became a blank space. He was the crown prince of grand Da Qin Dynasty, future Da Qin King, how could he die here? Li Guang Han trembled and shouted himself hoarse. Unfortunately, the restriction was the restriction, it was ice-cold without any emotion. Just because he was Da Qin Crown Prince, it didn¡¯t stop. Even if Da Qin King himself was trapped here, he would also be killed without any hesitation. Kacha, Demonic Dragon Wheel suspending above Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han fell straight down, and its sharp iron teeth stabbed into the face of Li Guang Han. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± A sad and shrill blood-curdling scream resounded. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia closed her eyes not daring to look. Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t close his eyes, but his heart trembled. Compared to Demonic Dragon Path, this Demonic Dragon Hall didn¡¯t seem to be so dangerous, at least there were no huge dragons and terrifying poisonous mist. But, in reality, Demonic Dragon Hall was even more terrifying. Those who hadn¡¯t experienced this in person would never know the feeling of helplessly waiting for the death. Dozens of big and small air bubbles suddenly sprang out from the ground. There were black and also white, which leads to different worlds. The body of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han quickly disappeared after being swept inside an air bubble. Perhaps, he would be thoroughly annihilated along with his soul, or perhaps, be sent into a completely strange world. Ye Chuan who had been looking all around for a chance of survival finally saw a hope. Just like Demonic Dragon Path, at the last moment, dangerous and unfathomable air bubbles had sprung out, and although they bode ill rather than well, air bubbles at least had a slim chance of survival. Kacha, kacha, Demonic Dragon Wheels above both Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and Ye Chuan descended one meters down. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was still fine, as she still had two chances. But, now, Ye Chuan had only one chance, the Demonic Dragon Wheel was only one meter away from him. Next, will there be a chance to turn around or a chance to make a wish again? Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden stared at the crystal screen without blinking their eyes, hoping for a chance to appear. The crystal screen was quiet without any movement. The dazzling white light also didn¡¯t appear and those words never changed. Even after a while, there was no movement, instead, the countdown beside the crystal screen started again. ¡°Damn it!¡± Ye Chuan cursed furiously and was at his wits¡¯ end. This last test was the test of the cultivation level of the intruders, there was no way around it. His rich experience was useless and his more than 3000 techniques were also useless. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ye Chuan, it¡¯s my fault.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia said with tears flowing out of her eyes. ¡°Just a moment ago, you shouldn¡¯t have made such wish, don¡¯t you know, like that, I will owe you for my lifetime?¡± ¡°I just want you to owe me, if I don¡¯t die, then you have to properly compensate me.¡± Ye Chuan laughed at himself. He was very calm even when he was about to die as getting angry and anxious was useless. ¡°If you have a chance to make a wish again, would you have done so again?¡± Heavenly Maiden asked. ¡°Well, like that, at least I can die first, I don¡¯t want to helplessly watch you die in front of me.¡± Ye Chuan replied. The countdown beside the crystal screen had already reached 15 and before long, it would reach zero. He wasn¡¯t scared instead was indifferent. ¡°Merely, if I have a chance to make a wish again, then I would have added one more sentence. Let me be able to move my finger before I die under Demonic Dragon Wheel.¡± ¡°Why? As long as you can move a finger, do you have a way to free yourself?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia asked. ¡°No, I just want to touch your hand before dying. Till now, I have yet to touch the little hand of a girl. Dying like this, it¡¯s too regretful.¡± Ye Chuan replied and saw that the countdown beside the crystal screen had already reached 11. His time had come. And at this moment, the memories of his past life and also all his experience of this life appeared in his mind. Everything will be gone now. To his surprise, he didn¡¯t die in God Burial Valley, instead, he was dying in this place! Ye Chuan sighed and great changes and melancholy appeared on his face. ¡°Cheater, Ye Chuan, you are too bad!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia knew that Ye Chuan was a cheater. This skirt-chaser had already hooked up with unknown numbers of junior apprentice sisters, how could it be that he hadn¡¯t even touched a girl¡¯s hand? But it was true that he had yet to touch her hand. At this juncture where her life was at stake, the corner of Heavenly Maiden¡¯s mouth twitched. She wanted to laugh but was unable to laugh, then, began to cry, tears dripping down her face. Her iceberg heart had already melted for Ye Chuan, but, it was already too late to be together with him, life and death would forever separate them. In this world, what else was crueler than this? In this world, the greatest happiness was nothing more than having the miserable life of a person finally becoming well and happy; and the greatest tragedy was the happy matter being torn apart before their eyes. Heavenly Maiden was very sad, in this extremely short period, she had shed more tears than last ten years combined together. If she could, then she would rather have her heart still be the solid ice, and hadn¡¯t heard the wish of Ye Chuan. Since it was doomed to be a tragedy, what¡¯s the use of beginning? Love calamity, this was a calamity she was destined to encounter in her life! Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia suddenly recalled the prophecy of her Master. And bursting into tears, she lied on her back, and her silent tears soaked her long hair. Chapter 267: Demonic Dragon’s descendant Chapter 267: Demonic Dragon¡¯s descendant The countdown beside the crystal screen reached 7, and the final countdown began. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia continuously shed tears. As for Ye Chuan, he quietly closed his eyes. At least Half-Saint realm cultivation was needed to break free, in such case, his rich experience was useless, he was unable to change this situation. After reincarnation, relying on his rich experience, extraordinary calmness and various kind of techniques, Ye Chuan had calmly faced all sorts of contradictions and conflicts, and he had handled all those matters with skill and ease. Unfortunately, his cultivation realm was his weakest aspect. Usually, if he ran into any danger, he could still rely on other methods to complement, but now, his weakest aspect was stressed without any room to maneuver. If he had concentrated in cultivation throwing down everything else after his reincarnation, then would he have reached Half-Saint realm resolving this difficulty in front of him? Suddenly, such thought involuntarily appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. Now, his desire for strength was particularly strong. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret, it was already too late to speak anything now. Roar! An ear-deafening dragon roar suddenly came from far away. Ye Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw a robust figure suddenly rushing inside from outside the Demonic Dragon Hall. Moreover, ignoring the restriction of this Demonic Dragon Hall, that figure ferociously collided with the stone coffin at the end of this hall. Dong, the stone coffin shook and the entire Demonic Dragon Hall also swayed. One, two¡­¡­, that figure continuously rammed ferociously against the stone coffin. ¡°Is that little Demonic Dragon?¡± Ye Chuan found this rather unbelievable. At his juncture when his life was at stake, for an unknown reason, that little Demonic Dragon had suddenly returned, moreover, was ramming against the stone coffin at the ends of this hall regardless of its safety. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was also stupefied, not understanding what was going on. The countdown beside the crystal screen continued to decrease, nearly reaching zero. At that time, Ye Chuan would follow the footsteps of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and have his face cut down by the Demonic Dragon Wheel. The ramming of little Demonic Dragon became even more ferocious, even when its head was covered with bumps and bruises, it still continued to insanely ram. Every time, it collided, the entire Demonic Dragon Hall would shake violently. Finally, after the ferocious collision along with a furious roar, a crack finally appeared on the stone coffin. And the countdown beside the crystal screen had exactly reached zero too. ¡°No¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia issued a heartrending scream as she closed her eyes, not daring to look. But Death Horn like kacha sound didn¡¯t resound, and she also didn¡¯t hear the scream of Ye Chuan. After a while, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia opened her eyes in confusion and saw that Ye Chuan was still lying on the ground, safe and sound. The Demonic Dragon Wheel above him hadn¡¯t descended. ¡°Ye Chuan, are you still alive¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia shed tears again, but this time, it was the tear of happiness. ¡°Yes, I am still alive, hahaha!¡± Ye Chuan laughed heartily and Heavenly Maiden found this unbelievable just like Ye Chuan. And Ye Chuan felt as if he was dreaming. Oh, that¡¯s right, what about that little Demonic Dragon? Ye Chuan looked around. Although he couldn¡¯t move his body, he could still move his eyes. He used his eyes to look all around searching for the trace of that little dragon. Needless to think, he also knew that, at the critical moment, that little Demonic Dragon had injured itself to break the restriction of Heavenly Dragon Hall and saved him. A rustling sounds slowly came over. Little Demonic Dragon slowly floated over from the end of this hall. Now, his head was bloody and even his entire body was dripping with blood. When it reached beside Ye Chuan, it suddenly changed into a little boy and said, ¡°Big brother, are you all right?¡± ¡°Little Long¡¯er, is that you?¡± Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t see the appearance of the little boy, but just hearing the voice, he quickly recalled Little Long¡¯er who had fallen into the poisonous mist along with Golden Dragon King. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me, big brother, it¡¯s me.¡± Little Long¡¯er walked over and bending down, he picked up the shackles around the body of Ye Chuan, then directly bringing it to his mouth, he bit it. Crunch, the shackles which Heavenly Maiden and Da Qin Crown Prince weren¡¯t able to break even after using all their strength was unexpectedly bit off. ¡°Good, hahaha, I, Ye Chuan have a good younger brother!¡± Ye Chuan stood up. Narrowly escaping this disaster with his life intact, he was very gratified. He picked up young Little Long¡¯er and look at the wound on the latter¡¯s head. Seeing the wounds, his nose became sour. He immediately tore off his robe and help bandage his wound. Finally, after escaping the Demonic Dragon Wheel, he met his brother again. At that time when he had met Little Long¡¯er for the first time, Ye Chuan had never imagined that this young boy would unexpectedly save his life in the end. After helping Heavenly Maiden to free herself, the three people sat together and very quickly, Ye Chuan understood what was going on. As it turned out, Little Long¡¯er reluctantly fell into the poisonous mist along with the Golden Dragon King. After falling into the poisonous mist, even the doughty body of Golden Dragon King was unable to withstand the corrosion of the poisonous mist and slowly become stiff, changing into a statue. But before its last breath, Golden Dragon King issued a roar, helping Little Long¡¯er to call little Demonic Dragon hidden inside the Demonic Dagon Hall. Then, one man one dragon, unexpectedly fused together inside the poisonous mist. The bloodline inside Little Long¡¯er was completely awakened, becoming a sole Demonic Dragon in this Wilderness World. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, what exactly is going on? This Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, is it left behind by your previous incarnation, or¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan frowned. The more he understood, the more he discovered that he had yet to understand many things. ¡°I also don¡¯t know a lot of things. There are many memory fragments in my brain. But, one thing is for sure, I am not the reincarnation of the master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, rather am a Demonic Dragon¡¯s descendant. The true master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm is already dead, the corpse is inside the stone coffin. Before she died, she unexpectedly discovered that she was already pregnant, unfortunately, her body was already too weak to give birth to me, and Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm was also unable to supply me necessary energy for my growth. So, she had to use a great technique to contain the essence blood of my spirit and eject me from this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. As for my physical body, she preserved it here, slowly growing inside this paradise realm.¡± Little Long¡¯er replied. ¡°In other words, the master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm is your mother?¡± Ye Chuan still had many aspects he had yet to understand, but he roughly understood what had happened. Seeing the expression of Little Long¡¯er, he also doesn¡¯t seem to understand many aspects and needs to slowly explore. ¡°Yes, my mother is the master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, mighty Demonic Dragon Clan¡¯s Agusi Teli.¡± Little Long¡¯er stood up and with tears streaming down his cheeks, he slowly walked towards the stone coffin at the end of this hall and opened the heavy cover. Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden also followed, and they saw a beautiful woman lying inside the stone coffin. Although it had already been millions of years since she had died, her body was intact, her skin was rosy and smooth, moreover, had a peaceful and sweet smile on her face, seemingly, she was just asleep and could wake up at any time. Her figure was lithe and graceful and was in no means inferior to Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, unfortunately, her chest had a shocking big wound, her heart had been dug out. They couldn¡¯t imagine what kind of ferocious battle she had suffered when she was alive. Chapter 268: Demonic Dragon Scripture Chapter 268: Demonic Dragon Scripture Little Long¡¯er sadly watched that woman lying inside the stone coffin in a trance. From the time when he was able to think, he had imagined the appearance of his mother countless times, and had looked forward to reuniting with her one day. Today, his finally achieved his long-cherished wish to meet his mother, unfortunately, his mother had already left this world forever. She would never open her eyes to look at him. Her heart was dug away, and even enduring such serious wound, she still had such a sweet smile after death. Did his mother foresee their mother and son reunion? Or, was she happy that she was able to send away the spirit of her son from this paradise ream before her death? The eyes of Little Long¡¯er was full of tears. After merging together with little Demonic Dragon, his bloodline had thoroughly awakened and his cultivation was also even more powerful than Daoist Master realm expert who had cultivated for hundreds and thousands of years. But, in essence, he was still a child. Looking at his mother lying still inside the stone coffin, his nose became sour and couldn¡¯t help shedding tears. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, don¡¯t cry. One day, your mother might come back to life.¡± Ye Chuan patted the head of Little Long¡¯er and consoled in a low voice. ¡°Big brother, really?¡± Little Long¡¯er raised his head and looking at Ye Chuan, he was excited and also was full of expectation. ¡°Really, when did you see me deceiving people? Not to mention the body of your mother is still intact, even if only a wisp of the soul remained, it is possible to resurrect her. Naturally, the prerequisite is that you have to wait for your big brother to breakthrough to Sage realm. At that time, I will be able to use many truly great techniques.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. To be able to build this kind of huge paradise realm, moreover, be able to arrange astonishing restrictions, one could well imagine the strength of the mother of Little Long¡¯er, Agusi Teli. Even in his peak state, Ye Chuan was barely a match with her and even was inferior in some aspects. Since Agusi Teli had no choice but to die, in this world, can anyone resurrect her? Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t sure, but looking at the expression of Little Long¡¯er which was full of expectation, he couldn¡¯t bear to tell him the truth. In any case, giving Little Long¡¯er a bit of hope was also good. ¡°Okay, I will wait.¡± Little Long¡¯er nodded his head. He was obedient but also was determined. At such a young age, he was more mature than many people. When other children who were of the same age as him were still playing without any care in the world, he had experienced tribulation and hardships many people wouldn¡¯t experience throughout their life. But the remarkable matter was, even after he had tasted ways of the world, this kid unexpectedly was calm without negative thoughts. The most important matter in the path of cultivation was not cultivating many techniques rather was the cultivation of heart. Once the heart was strong, people can become strong, firm and indomitable! Ye Chuan suddenly recalled the formula of Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique. Little Long¡¯er seemed to have never cultivated properly. All his strength came from his bloodline, but this state of mind just happened to conform to the requirement of top cultivation techniques. He was the natural material to cultivate top cultivation techniques. With his intelligence and also a composed heart, in the future, it was hard for him to not become the top expert. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, do you want to cultivate a first-rate technique?¡± Ye Chuan asked, deciding to seriously cultivate this little brother, Little Long¡¯er. Now, Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique had already become his life technique. This technique he had found in God Burial Valley, he wouldn¡¯t pass on to other people easily, but, apart from this, Ye Chuan still held many techniques. He could pass true Cyan Feather Technique, Ghost King Technique, Great Yan Demon Refining Technique and so on techniques to Little Long¡¯er, or he could even pass his life technique of his previous lifetime, Heaven Concealing Technique. At that time, after achieving success in cultivation and breaking through to Sage realm, Little Long¡¯er can become new Heaven Concealing Great Sage, and he, Ye Chuan would become Heaven Swallowing Great Sage! ¡°I want, but, I already know how to cultivate. Demonic Dragon Clan, after the bloodline is completely awakened, we can cultivate naturally. And the longer our lifespan, the stronger our cultivation will be. Moreover, the cultivation techniques of ordinary people are not suitable for us.¡± Little Long¡¯er replied, then suddenly hitting his own head, from under his mother¡¯s body, he took out a booklet and two crystal bottles. ¡°I nearly forgot, big brother, this is for you and big sister Zixia. This technique is useless for me, but it is very useful for both of you. Refine the Demonic Dragon Blood inside the crystal bottle while cultivating this Demonic Dragon Scripture, then one day, you two might also be able to become a true Demonic Dragon Descendant like me, obtaining a Demonic Dragon Physique. At that time, we can leave Wilderness World together to the world beyond the highest heaven and avenge my mother!¡± Allowing no explanation, Little Long¡¯er stuffed a booklet and two crystal bottle in the hands of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden looked at each other and were excited. This, was this the so-called inheritance of this paradise realm? Feeling the energy contained in Demonic Dragon Blood within the crystal bottle, both Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia were excited in their heart. So many experts had entered this paradise realm, but in the end, only they two obtained the inheritance of this paradise realm. Even Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han failed at the last moment and died, so how could they not be excited? ¡°Big brother, big sister Zixia, first, swallow the Demonic Dragon Blood and slowly refine it later, but, it would be best to comprehend Demonic Dragon Scripture now and then burn it.¡± Perhaps, because his once mortal body had fused together with little Demonic Dragon that had been staying inside this paradise realm for hundreds and thousands of years now, Little Long¡¯er was especially steady and cautious as he said: ¡°If this technique falls into the hands of spirit yao beast or evil great devils, then it will be troublesome. According to the legend, many evildoers daydream about transforming to Demonic Dragon which resulted in following incomplete Demonic Dragon Scripture or messy techniques to cultivate for many years, thus, instead of transforming into Demonic Dragon, they become evil dragons. Their every appearance give rise to a foul wind and rain of blood.¡± Evil Dragon? Ye Chuan was startled and he suddenly recalled Evil Dragon Abyss located at the rear mountain of Cloud Mist Sect and also Nan Tiandu who had jumped down that abyss. ¡°Big brother, you and big sister Zixia can slowly cultivate, I will go outside to guard you two.¡± Consciously or unconsciously, Little Long¡¯er looked at gorgeous Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, then turning into little Demonic Dragon form, he flew away, instantly disappearing without a trace to patrol various places of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. After merging together with little Demonic Dragon, this dangerous and unfathomable Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm had become his true homeland. And all the restrictions were completely ineffective to him. Kacha, kacha, the stone coffin at the end of this hall slowly sunk into the ground. Now, Agusi Teli, the mother of Little Long¡¯er quietly slept in the depth of the ground. Other than Little Long¡¯er, no one knows how to activate the restriction to bring up the stone coffin. In the quiet and huge Demonic Dragon Hall, now, only Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden remained. Those terrible Demonic Dragon Wheels and crystal screen on the ceiling also had already disappeared, reverting back to normal. ¡°Zixia, this is our fortune, let¡¯s begin!¡± Ye Chuan threw a crystal bottle to Heavenly Maiden and sat down on the spot. Then, swallowing the Demonic Dragon Blood inside the crystal bottle, he opened up Demonic Dragon Scripture of Demonic Dragon Clan left behind by the mother of Little Long¡¯er. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t aspire to transform into a true Demonic Dragon, but the legendary Demonic Dragon Physique was still very attractive. After achieving a true success in the cultivation of this technique, his physical body might be even doughtier than the time when he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage in his previous life. Chapter 269: Distinctive pair cultivation style Chapter 269: Distinctive pair cultivation style Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia also opened the crystal bottle and drank the Demonic Dragon Blood inside it, then sitting cross-legged beside Ye Chuan, she slightly turned sideways to look and suddenly became embarrassed. On the first page of Demonic Dragon Scripture, the words written were, ¡®If you want to refine Demonic Dragon Essence Blood, then just have a pair cultivation; if you want to become the clansmen of Demonic Dragon Clan and refine Demonic Dragon Physique, then just have a pair cultivation.¡¯ Ye Chuan also felt somewhat awkward. There was only him and Heavenly Maiden in this entire Demonic Dragon Hall, and the atmosphere was already subtle with only a single man and a single woman together, adding the words ¡®pair cultivation¡¯ in such situation, wasn¡¯t that making them feel awkward? Little Long¡¯er, this fellow must have known this beforehand! Ye Chuan suddenly recalled Little Long¡¯er who had left them alone here, furthermore, his looks before he had left. Ever since ancient times, all said that dragon blood was very licentious, it seemed rather true as this first-rate technique unexpectedly turned out to be a pair cultivation technique. ¡°Ye Chuan, you can cultivate by yourself, I am leaving first.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia with red face stood up, wanting to leave. After coming to this paradise realm, her solid ice heart had already melted for Ye Chuan, beginning to have a feeling for him. And being together with Ye Chuan, she was happy, but doing that together with him, this was too quick and too sudden. After men and women love each other, their feelings would become deeper and deeper, and there was a process for some matters. Suddenly doing that was embarrassing and also couldn¡¯t help being affected by shyness. ¡°Don¡¯t, Zixia girl, we can take a look first, no need to cultivate hastily, as for everything else, let¡¯s talk about it later.¡± Ye Chuan grabbed the hand of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, and pulling her down again, he added, ¡°Little Long¡¯er is right, before leaving this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, it would be the best to burn this booklet so as to avoid leaving any hidden troubles.¡± The hand of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was soft and warm. Ye Chuan subconsciously squeezed her hand a little, and couldn¡¯t help wanting to slowly fondle her. And seeing the red face of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, his heartbeat accelerated. Heavenly Maiden, ah! This is the aloof and refined existence, is the symbol of purity and nobility. Just a while ago, she was the existence who set herself high above the masses. Many cultivators feared and respected her. In front of her, even the proud experts of Heavenly Yao Sect lowered their head not daring to look her face to face. But now, she was only a down to earth beauty, and just like a girl-next-door, she was blushing in front of him, appearing as if she was ready to be plucked at any time. Ye Chuan carefully looked at Heavenly Maiden¡¯s bent eyebrows, long eyelashes¡­¡­, and his gaze slowly moved down. Below her fair neck, there was a sexy collarbone, then there was fair and tender skin, furthermore, her full and towering twin mountains were a cup bigger than Liu Hong¡¯s. That twin mountain where no one had ever set foot on appeared as if they were waiting for Ye Chuan¡¯s annexation and conquest. When he was sent flying by the attack of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, he had happened to collide with Heavenly Maiden. At that time, the back of his head had collided against that twin mountain. Now, that feeling suddenly appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. The face of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia became redder, and she hastily extracted her hand, but didn¡¯t walk away again, instead sat cross-legged beside Ye Chuan again. Although she was shy and embarrassed, what Ye Chuan had said was correct, she could first look at the content of Demonic Dragon Scripture and memorize them. After making a decision, she just stared at Demonic Dragon Scripture, not daring to raise her head to look at Ye Chuan. A woman is a woman, even if she had a high cultivation base, she was still a woman. In front of other people, she might be a strong woman and female expert, but in front of the man she was interested in, she is not much different from other women! Looking at Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was blushing red like apple to the roots of her ears, Ye Chuan smiled. This apple, he decided to eat. If Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was still aloof, remote and arrogant like before, then he wouldn¡¯t have become interested. No matter how beautiful that kind of women was, he wouldn¡¯t have gotten interested in them, let alone arouse his desire. But the current Heavenly Maiden was different. After her frozen heart was melted, she displayed the soft and tender side of a woman. This was the real charm of a woman. In the world, there inevitably were many women that thought they were very amazing and set themselves above the masses after having a high cultivation base, but little did they imagine that they had already lost their femininity. The things they were proud and even arrogant were something truly remarkable men never cared about in the first place. A woman without femininity, was she still a woman? Unconsciously, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s femininity was displayed. Ye Chuan turned one page after another of Demonic Dragon Scripture, and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia began to comprehend it together with him. Time to time, they discussed, pondered, and speak out their views. Unconsciously, the two people began to cultivate according to the content of that booklet. They got closer and closer, and finally, stuck together. Perhaps, they were too close, or perhaps, they had refined a part of Demonic Dragon Essence Blood, the body of two people gradually heated up, and the atmosphere was filled with unusually sweet fragrance. This unusually sweet fragrance didn¡¯t come from outside the Demonic Dragon Hall, rather was emitted from their body, coming out from the Demonic Dragon Essence Blood they had swallowed. The Demonic Dragon Essence Blood left behind by the master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, Agusi Teli, was truly of high quality. Its quality was far better than the Demonic Dragon Blood he had obtained from the little Demonic Dragon at that time. The temperature inside the Demonic Dragon hall gradually rose. Slowly, Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden felt so hot that it was unbearable. Heavenly Maiden was still fine as she had instinctively restrained herself, but as for Ye Chuan, at an unknown time, he had already taken off his upper garment. However, only baring the upper body wasn¡¯t enough, he was still feeling very hot. Moreover, his lower abdomen felt like it was burning and also felt like a volcano was about to erupt. It contained endless powerful, if it didn¡¯t erupt out, then his body would burn to ashes. Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden who had unconsciously immersed in cultivation were in a daze and trance, but they were not average people, they instinctively resisted the abnormality of their body. Merely, something was just like the flood, stubbornly resisting and blocking were useless. Like that, it would only build up more and more. What they needed was not blocking rather guiding or to say venting. They needed a carefree venting. After an unknown period of time, when the bodies of two people were feeling hotter and hotter, Ye Chuan managed to sit cross-legged on the ground with great difficulty. As for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, at an unknown time, her clothes were already half undone, and she looked just like a delicious dish in front of Ye Chuan. Now, she looked bewitching and her mouth was continuously calling out the name of Ye Chuan while emitting out her fragrance. When women were not aroused, they were like an iceberg, and they wouldn¡¯t care even if a remarkable man came in front of them. But after they are aroused, they would be so hot that they could melt people. Heavenly Maiden who was originally restraining herself, in the end, she became even worse than Ye Chuan! ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ After gently closing the entrance door of Demonic Dragon Hall, Little Long¡¯er had arranged layers after layers of defense restriction. After leaving, he returned and then he quietly looked form far and withdrew, helping two people close the door. Little Long¡¯er was still a child in essence, but his physical body had been nurtured for tens of thousands of years in this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, so he was clearer than anyone else with regarding the profound mystery of Demonic Dragon Scripture. If only Ye Chuan alone had obtained this inheritance, then he wouldn¡¯t have been able to cultivate this technique,but with a beauty Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia beside him, the requirement of pair cultivation just happened to be fulfilled. Perhaps, this was life, those two people were destined to be together. ¡°Sage realm¡­¡­, big brother Ye Chuan, big sister Zixia, cultivate this pair technique and quickly breakthrough the Sage realm!¡± Little Long¡¯er transformed into little Demonic Dragon and instantly arrived one kilometer away from Demonic Dragon Hall, and looking at the highest heaven far away in the midst of the cloud, he had a thought to break through the void and return to the world beyond the highest heaven. Thinking about his mother eternally sleeping underground, this feeling became increasingly stronger. To go to the world beyond the highest heaven, one should either find an intact ancient transfer formation or forcibly rip the void to open up a passage. With his current ability, he was far from being able to do that. However, if Ye Chuan breakthrough to Sage realm, refine Demonic Dragon Physique and similarly be able to transform into a true dragon, then it was different. He was entirely hopeful that when they two brothers work together at that time, they would be able to forcibly open a path with their tyrannical physical body. Chapter 270: Dragon Slaughtering Calamity Chapter 270: Dragon Slaughtering Calamity Outside Demonic Dragon Hall, Little Long¡¯er looked up towards the horizon while pondering about life. Inside Demonic Dragon hall however was a spring scenery. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was completely drunk, she took off her seven colored war robe by herself, and she undid her extremely thin underwear too. Now, her exquisite and tender body was laid bare in front of Ye Chuan. After enduring for a long time, she truly was unable to control herself and wanted to take the lead to give her body. But at the critical moment, a big hand tightly held the hips of Heavenly Maiden who was about to fall. At an unknown time, similarly confused and muddleheaded Ye Chuan had opened his eyes. Then, stretching out his hand, he pressed a few acupuncture points on the body of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. After that, she also began to wake up slowly. ¡°Why? Ye Chuan, don¡¯t you like me?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia hastily draped over her multicolored war robe and somewhat shyly asked in disappointment. If there was any other man instead of Ye Chuan, then he might have already pounce onto her like a dire wolf, Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t, not only he didn¡¯t take advantage of this situation to vent off his heart¡¯s **, he even prevented her from throwing herself into his arms. How big was his conviction? What kind of mental state was needed for this? Or, did Ye Chuan resisted because he already had another person in his heart and didn¡¯t like her? Aloof and refined Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who regarded men under the heaven as dirt was suddenly swayed by consideration of loss and gain feeling. ¡°No, exactly the opposite, you are the woman I like, but¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan paused and reaching out his hand, he held the face of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and added, ¡°People are different from beast because the beast has heat period, and they only associate to reproduce; people are different, because of heart, we have deep feelings. Zixia girl, I don¡¯t want to obtain you under this kind of circumstance, I want not only your body but also your heart. I will wait for the day when you are completely sober and is willing to give yourself to me.¡± Ye Chuan caressed pitch-black long hair of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. His movement was very soft and gentle as if he was afraid to hurt Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. The eyes of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia became red and tears flowed down. She cried, not because she was sad, rather because she suddenly felt so happy. From the past until now, she had never thought that being together with the man she loved would be so happy. This moment, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia no longer pursued the peak power. What Heavenly Empress, what Sage realm, all were no longer important for her. Her heart was single-mindedly attached to Ye Chuan. ¡°Zixia, what happened?¡± Ye Chuan gently wiped the tears of Heavenly Maiden. ¡°Kiss me, Ye Chuan, don¡¯t say anything, kiss me¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia hugged Ye Chuan, then hugging tightly, two people kissed each other. When mood was downcast, every day would be especially hard to bear and one day would seem like a year. But when two people were a harmonious couple, they would feel that the time flies very fast. Several days quickly passed. Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia continued to cultivate in Demonic Dragon Hall. They refined Demonic Dragon Essence Blood within their body and also comprehended profound Demonic Dragon Scripture. Moreover, the feelings of two people also rapidly warmed up, rising to the higher level. Although their feelings were not confused again and had yet to make love, their mutual feelings deepened, and they had already caressed every inch of each other¡¯s body. The collision, merging and refining of heart and spirit were in fact a kind of higher domain pair cultivation. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia suddenly understood, what was the nearest distance in this world, just like Ye Chuan said, it was the distance of the heart. Thinking about it now, that question and answer session in Demonic Dragon Hall, it seemed that those questions were not made out of boredom by the master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, rather had profound meaning. Without that kind of mental state and not understanding that principle, it was absolutely impossible to obtain the inheritance of this paradise realm. Even if they accidentally obtain the inheritance, they would not be able to obtain a deep understanding of its cultivation. Seventh-day, late at night. When Ye Chuan sitting cross-legged on the ground, the energy fluctuation within his body suddenly rose steadily beyond his control. And at the same time, black clouds densely covered the sky above Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, and lightning began to flash, moreover, incomparable killing intent spread all around, sealing off the surrounding within 100 li radius with Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm as the center. All the adventurers and yao beasts around this paradise realm felt danger and they instinctively fled. Rank 7 Xiushi to Rank 1 Daoist Master realm, this was a huge gap along with a calamity. Only a well-prepared person with good luck could survive this calamity and step into the higher stage. If the foundation wasn¡¯t sufficiently strong and also was unlucky, then he would be annihilated by that calamity. After refining the Demonic Dragon Essence Blood within his body and comprehending Demonic Dragon Scripture, moreover, having a pair cultivation with Heavenly Maiden, Ye Chuan attracted a very powerful calamity. This calamity was far more powerful compared to the calamity of an average person when breaking through to Daoist Master realm. Just looking at it, it could be estimated that, his calamity was ten times or even hundred times stronger. The layers upon layers of black cloud along with ear-deafening thunder claps and seething snakelike lightning, this shocked Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who had already broken through to peak Daoist Master realm. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia quickly stood up and arranging her seven colored war robe, she unsheathed her sharp sword, appearing as if she was facing a formidable foe. That year, when she was breaking through to Daoist Master realm, she had depended on the help of her Mater White Haired Heavenly Empress to overcome the calamity. But compared to the heavenly calamity of Ye Chuan, the might of her heavenly calamity was not worth mentioning. The stronger the cultivation base, the powerful the heavenly calamity, why did Ye Chuan cultivate to this level, unexpectedly attracting such terrifying heavenly calamity. Without any protecting treasure, and without a Master to help, how will Ye Chuan pass this calamity? Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia got nervous When Heavenly Calamity falls down, all those who stood around Ye Chuan would also suffer an indiscriminate attack, attracting even more powerful heavenly calamity, making the situation worse. But, seeing Ye Chuan had no one to rely on to pass this heavenly calamity, how could Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia do nothing? Rumble! An ear-deafening thunderclap resounded. It seemed the heavenly calamity had struck above this paradise realm. But, the black clouds were still rolling and lightning flashed were streaking across the sky. The complexion of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was tense and she became more and more nervous. Without protective treasures, even she didn¡¯t have any certainty that she would be able to pass this kind of calamity. How would Ye Chuan respond? Bang, the entrance door of Demonic Dragon Hall broke open and Little Long¡¯er changed into little Demonic Dragon directly rushed over and said, ¡°Heavenly calamity is about to befall, this is the calamity that appears only for the exceptionally talented clansmen of Demonic Dragon Clan, Dragon Slaughtering Calamity, big sister Zixia, what should we do?¡± Little Long¡¯er had yet to experience this calamity, but from a section of his mother¡¯s memory, he quickly understood what was going on. After refining Demonic Dragon Essence Blood and cultivating Demonic Dragon Scripture, the cultivation of Ye Chuan had suddenly risen sharply, unexpectedly attracting the calamity only the clansmen of Demonic Dragon Clan suffered. Moreover, this was the legendary Dragon Slaughtering Calamity which only the genius expert of Demonic Dragon Clan came across! Little Long¡¯er found this unexpected discovery unbelievable and also trembled with terror. A slight carelessness could not only completely annihilate Ye Chuan, even the entire paradise realm might be destroyed! ¡°Little Long¡¯er, the restrictions left behind by your mother, how are they? Can you activate them to stop this heavenly calamity?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia asked suddenly thinking of a way. The mother of Little Long¡¯er, Agusi Teli, clearly was the peak expert of Demonic Dragon Clan, the restrictions she left behind might have a great use here. ¡°They won¡¯t do, the restrictions left behind by my mother are very powerful, but it had already been a long period of time, so they had already begun to lose power, moreover, the restrictions are mainly directed against the foreign adventurers. To contend against this heavenly calamity, we must reverse all restriction and we are simply not powerful enough to do so.¡± Little Long¡¯er shook his head. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s cultivation was outstanding and had just broken through a bottleneck too, but no need to speak about the peak Daoist Master realm expert, even Half Sage realm White Haired Heavenly Empress might not be able to reverse the restrictions of this paradise realm. One should know that, before the death of the mother of Little Long¡¯er, Agusi Teli, she was more powerful than the overwhelming majority of powerful Sages. In the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and inside the Demonic Dragon Hall, the heart of Heavenly Maiden and Little Long¡¯er sunk more and more. Chapter 271: Heaven Swallowing Daoist Master Chapter 271: Heaven Swallowing Daoist Master Rumble! Yet another lightning fell, then the doors and windows trembled and walls shook. The dark clouds in the sky vaguely changed into a big hand that blotted out the sky and the sun, and lightning and thunder were flashing on the center of this palm, just the legendary hand of destruction. This hand wanted to crush Ye Chuan whose cultivation was steadily rising to death. They appeared as if they couldn¡¯t tolerate the birth of exceedingly powerful expert in this world. All experts had to receive the baptism of heavenly calamity before breaking out of the cocoon. This was the natural law of heaven and earth, no one could avoid it. The higher the cultivation and the greater the strength, the more powerful the heavenly calamity was. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia clearly knew this point, and also knew that this heavenly calamity was unavoidable, but looking at this heavenly calamity that was about to fall, and Ye Chuan who didn¡¯t have any means of defense, she involuntarily got more and more nervous. After hesitating for a while, she gritted her teeth and went behind Ye Chuan, then spread open her arms, wanting to use her own body to take on this upcoming Dragon Slaughtering Calamity in the place of Ye Chuan. ¡°When I stand behind my lover, I wish to become his armor and stop all disaster for my lover.¡± ¡°When I become nothing, I wish my lover stand tall.¡± ¡°When I reach netherworld, I wish there is no heavenly calamity all under the heaven.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. The voice of Heavenly Maiden began to resound. In the beginning, her voice was somewhat unsmooth and somewhat nervous. But slowly, her voice became louder and louder, resounding throughout the entire Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm and then pierced through the heavy layer of dark cloud in the sky. At the critical moment, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia went all out. She forgot fear and also forgot herself, she just used a Great Wishing Technique she had yet to completely master. This was the life technique of White Haired Heavenly Empress, also was the killing technique of every generation Heavenly Empress. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia only grasped a bit of this technique, but this moment, she had no choice, in order to help Ye Chuan to pass through this heavenly calamity, she didn¡¯t care about the price. Blood slowly flowed out from the corner of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s mouth. This was the consequence of forcibly using this Great Whishing Technique. Heavenly Maiden stood still and she didn¡¯t even knit her eyebrows. Moreover, not only she didn¡¯t give up using this technique, her voice became even louder. She was burning her life-vitality and life to make a wish. ¡°No, big sister Zixia¡­¡­¡± Little Long¡¯er called out loudly. He didn¡¯t understand what this Great Wishing Technique was, but he could see the situation of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was anything but reassuring. She was rapidly losing her life-force, and her exquisite and smooth skin was aging and withering at the speed that was visible to the naked eye. In an instant, she became 10, 20¡­¡­ years older, and just like a flower in a full blood, when she was very magnificent, she rapidly withered. Rumble! Yet another thunder exploded beside their ears and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was unable to stand stably. She staggered, nearly fell over and her seven colored war robe was covered with blood, but she still didn¡¯t give up, she continued to use the still incomplete Great Wishing Technique. When she was making a final wish, she felt like she will fall down to the ground and sleep for eternity. But at that time, a big hand suddenly pushed Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia away, interrupting her Great Wishing Technique. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, go, take big sister Zixia with you and hide deep underground.¡± Ye Chuan pushed Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia away without even turning his head. ¡°Big brother, what about you?¡± Little Long¡¯er caught wounded Heavenly Maiden, but hesitating, he didn¡¯t leave immediately. A scorching hot furnace suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chuan, then flying higher, it became huge inside Demonic Dragon Hall. Ye Chuan silently used a technique and used this ancient Heaven Burning Furnace to contend the powerful heavenly calamity. And at the same time, he sent out a palm, which sent both Little Long¡¯er and Heavenly Maiden flying outside the Demonic Dragon Hall. ¡°Go, Little Long¡¯er, quickly go!¡± Crackle! A snake like lightning fell, ferociously splitting open the room of Demonic Dragon Hall. Even hundred meters away, outside the Demonic Dragon Hall, Little Long¡¯er felt his entire body tingling, and his heart was in jitters, feeling an incomparable pressure. So, gritting his teeth, he took wounded Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and left. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared, hiding deep into the ground. The heavenly calamity was ferocious, especially Dragon Slaughtering Calamity, this kind of calamity was fatal to even the clansmen of Demonic Dragon Clan. Little Long¡¯er had the mind to step forward and help Ye Chuan, but he was powerless. Even if he interfered, he might just die under this terrifying heavenly calamity, becoming the first demonic dragon of Wilderness World to die from the lightning strike! The rumbling sounds resounded as countless thickly dotted lightning descended from the heaven. That terrifying Dragon Slaughtering Calamity finally fell, initiating a violent attack on Ye Chuan. Along with the wave after wave of lightning strikes, the lightning strikes became more and more ferocious. Little Long¡¯er hiding deep into the ground curled up, but his heart was still shaken. As for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, tears streamed down her cheeks and she struggled to rush out, but Little Long¡¯er held her tightly. If she rushed out now, then she would die and she might even implicate Ye Chuan by attracting even more terrifying heavenly calamity. Compared to general heavenly calamity, Dragon Slaughtering Calamity was far fiercer, the stronger the resistance, the fiercer it was, even the experts of Demonic Dragon Clan would be frightened meeting this heavenly calamity. Within the radius of 100 meters from Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, all living things fled far away. Those who weren¡¯t able to flee all hide deep underground and curled up in terror. In the wild, one could see yao beasts died by lightning strike everywhere. There were some pythons who had already hidden its head and big body into the ground, merely, they didn¡¯t have time to hide a little section of its tail, leaving it above the ground, and the result, this little section of tail attracted terrifying lightning, electrocuted them to coke. There were some flying birds who relied on their fast speed and wanted to fly past Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, and the result, before they could fly 100 meters away, lightning struck them. Under this Dragon Slaughtering Calamity, no matter whether running on the ground, swimming in the water or flying in the air, there was only one end, death! The rumbling sounds became more and more intense, seemingly wanting to scrape off 4 meters underground and leave nothing with life behind. Moreover, what was more frightening was, the range of this heavenly calamity was still increasing. In the end, the entire Cloud Mist Range was within the range of this heavenly calamity. Black Cauldron Sect, Five Style Sect and even Cloud Mist Sect, all were now within the range of this heavenly calamity. The disciples of three sects were terrified and as if a doomsday had arrived, they had nowhere to run. This terrifying heavenly calamity lasted for three days and three nights. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and Little Long¡¯er who were hiding deep underground cautiously crawled out, then looking up, they saw clear and boundless blue sky. That terrifying heavenly calamity had finally vanished and this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm had changed into a pile of debris. Dark smoke was rising from everywhere, and those majestic and imposing imperial palaces of former days had collapsed. ¡°Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia called out loudly as she looked everywhere for the trace of Ye Chuan. But, everything was in a mess, and that majestic Demonic Dragon Hall no longer existed. She was even unable to find the location of Demonic Dragon Hall. And wanting to find a person in this boundless ruins was no different from wanting to find a needle in a haystack. ¡°Big sister Zixia, over here, follow me.¡± The eyes of Little Long¡¯er shone, sensing the stone coffin underground, he quickly found the location of Demonic Dragon Hall. Then, leading Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he quickly arrived at a burned black location. Looking all around, they saw shocking scorched earth and dense smoke, and they couldn¡¯t sense any aura of life. Under the attack of Dragon Slaughtering Calamity, let alone a living person, even a piece of brick didn¡¯t survive. ¡°Ye Chuan¡­¡­¡± Everything in front of the eyes of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia became black and she fainted to the ground. Little Long¡¯er hastily rushed over and supported her up. But he was also grieved and heartbroken. At that time, a blackened hand suddenly sprang out from the scorched earth, then a bald head, and a vaguely familiar face¡­¡­ When Little Long¡¯er and Heavenly Maiden were grieving, Ye Chuan suddenly drilled out from under the ground. ¡°Dragon Slaughtering Calamity was a ferocious heavenly calamity, but I, Ye Chuan still survived! From now on, don¡¯t call me Heaven Concealing Daoist Master, call me Heaven Swallowing Daoist Master. Hahaha¡­¡­¡± Taking a deep breath, Ye Chuan who had narrowly escaped death suddenly held his head high and uttered a long, loud cry. In this previous life, before he stepped into Sage realm, everyone called him Heaven Concealing Daoist Master. But, now, he had long given up Heaven Concealing Secrets, so he called himself Heaven Swallowing Daoist Master. The Great Sage has returned! In my past life, I only concealed the heaven, but in this life, I will swallow the heaven! Ye Chuan who had just experienced the baptism of heavenly calamity was in a high spirit. Chapter 272: Chaos is approaching Chapter 272: Chaos is approaching After the great calamity, the three people were reunited and stood together. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia tightly hugged Ye Chuan, and caressed the face of Ye Chuan inch by inch. She was still worried that this might just be a dream and when she woke up, she would no longer be able to see Ye Chuan again. ¡°Ye Chuan, is that you, are you real?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me, I am still alive.¡± Ye Chuan also hugged Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Under the bombardment of Dragon Slaughtering Calamity, he tenaciously held on his life, but his eyebrows and hair, all were already scorched, moreover, his body had a burned black scar. Those lightning strikes nearly burned him into ashes. Although his current appearance was awkward, hugging Heavenly Maiden, a bad smile appeared on his face as he whispered in the ear of Heavenly Maiden, ¡°With such a beautiful lover and that powerful technique here, how could I leave you? After I die, wouldn¡¯t someone else replace me to cultivate that pair cultivation technique with you?¡± ¡°So hateful!¡¯ Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia tightly hugged Ye Chuan and was about to look up and carefully look at the face of Ye Chuan, but she suddenly turned away, and using her spacious sleeve to cover her face, her shoulders trembled as tears rolled down her cheeks. Forcibly using that Great Wishing technique, she had burned a large amount of her vitality and life, so, although she was fine, her face was full of wrinkles now and she appeared just like an old woman. She no longer had a beautiful appearance, how could she face Ye Chuan? ¡°Zixia, what happened?¡± Ye Chuan embraced Heavenly Maiden. After heavenly calamity, he was too excited and had yet to carefully look at her, so he hadn¡¯t noticed the abnormality of her face. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia stubbornly faced Ye Chuan with her back, not letting him see her face. ¡°Fine, if you don¡¯t want me to touch, then I will not touch, I will just hug you.¡± Ye Chuan hugged Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia from behind with a bad smile. As for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, her face was full of tears and she became all the more sad. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, how did you resist the Dragon Slaughtering Calamity?¡± Little Long¡¯er changed the subject of conversation and asked curiously. Dragon Slaughtering Calamity had always been the nightmare of Demonic Dragon Clan. An unknown number of geniuses had died under this great calamity. But, Ye Chuan had yet to refine Demonic Dragon Physique, moreover, he was far worse than the geniuses of Demonic Dragon Clan, still, how was he able to survive this Dragon Slaughtering Calamity? ¡°Three-tenth preparation, one-tenth strength, six-tenth luck.¡± Ye Chuan answered. In the eyes of outsiders, it appeared as if it heavenly calamity appeared suddenly catching Ye Chuan unprepared, but little did they imagined that Ye Chuan had already made preparations a long time ago. At that time, a furnace suddenly appeared in front of the three people and heat waved surged. Scorching flames frequently sprang out from this furnace with many ancient runes engraved on it. At first glance, one could tell that this was an extraordinary furnace. Unfortunately, now, there was a crack, and the runes in many places were already incomplete, becoming a piece of scrap. ¡°Ye Chuan, this¡­¡­ is this Heaven Burning Furnace?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia cried out in alarm. She observed it still covering her face with her sleeve and recognized that this was the defining treasure of her Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°Yes, this is Heaven Burning Furnace.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. Originally, he borrowed Heaven Burning Furnace from Heavenly Yao Sect in order to resolve Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s urgent task given by Da Qin King. And on the other hand, it was also for the preparation of his heavenly calamity. He had yet to thoroughly grasp the profoundness of Cyan Lotus Lamp, so, Heaven Burning Furnace which he had proficiently controlled in his previous life was naturally the best choice. Merely, even Ye Chuan had never imagined that his heavenly calamity would be so ferocious, even Heaven Burning Furnace, this ancient treasure was cracked opened. ¡°Zixia, I am very sorry, I am afraid now Heaven Burning Furnace is worthless.¡± ¡°As long as you are alive, it¡¯s fine.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia comforted Ye Chuan but she was knitting her brows, feeling heavy pressure in her heart. Heaven Burning Furnace was said to be suppressing the fate of Heavenly Yao Sect, but now, this ancient treasure had unexpectedly become a scrap. This was beyond the expectation of everyone. If this news is sent back to Heavenly Yao Sect, then it will definitely give rise to terrifying waves and everyone will become restless. Moreover, formidable powers outside would definitely come to suppress and attack the Heavenly Yao Sect, and the chaos was unavoidable. This might become a turning point of Heavenly Yao Sect and from then on, it might begin to decline, following the footsteps of Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°The chaos is approaching, no one will be left alone.¡± Ye Chuan muttered and his heart was also heavy. After the baptism of heavenly calamity, he was more scared than hurt and had broken through to Daoist Master realm, calling himself Heaven Swallowing Daoist Master. Now, his cultivation was completely different from the time when he had just entered the Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Within his body, there were still six Heaven Swallowing Talismans, giving him the strength of 108,000 jin, but his physical body was tyrannical. There was a vague sign of him reaching the half-Demonic Dragon Physique, stepping into that legendary half-dragon realm. Now, his explosive power, reaction speed and attacking ability of physical body had clearly risen by a level, and he could use more techniques. But, even though his cultivation base had risen, the pressure on him had risen even more, so he was unable to become happy. First of all, there will be the blame of Heavenly Yao Sect. After the news of Heaven Burning Furnace becoming a scrap was transmitted to Heavenly Yao Sect, Heavenly Yao Sect would differently cause an uproar and might even launch an attack. White Haired Heavenly Empress absolutely will not suppress it. Secondly, without Heaven Burning Furnace, it was impossible to complete the task given Da Qin King in time. This will invite the suppression from Da Qin Dynasty, and even mighty Da Qin army might come to attack. Facing the double pressure of both Heavenly Yao Sect and Da Qin Dynasty, no matter how tenacious Cloud Mist Sect was, it might be overwhelmed by the suppression, and at that time, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect that were eying covetously would not miss this chance to hit a person when he was down. This was a pressure inside limited extent, since his gaze lied in the entire Wilderness World, even greater pressure will come one after another in the future. The coming of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm might be a kind of sign. Perhaps, many ancient paradise realms will gradually appear before the eyes of common people. Even Evil Dragon Abyss that was quiet for millions of years might come into being with a host of demons dancing wildly. Exactly at this time, Da Qin King suppressed all powers under the heaven, and attempted to annex cultivation sects. The collision of secular dynasty and cultivation sects would intensify the chaos without any doubt. On the surface, Da Qin Dynasty was powerful and prosperous, but in secret, nobles were not of one heart. Once Da Qin King¡¯s strategy of annexing cultivating sects fails, this powerful dynasty was bound to fall apart, giving rise to a big chaos of nobles fighting each other for power. After reincarnating, Ye Chuan had been lying low in Cloud Mist Mountain Range, slowly preserving and nurturing his spirit as well as cultivating his force, but his gaze had always been on the entire Heavenly Fire Continent, and even the entire Wilderness World. As a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he naturally will not stay silent. The arrival of great turmoil not only gave him pressure, it was also a very rare chance. Risks and opportunities had always existed side by side. Properly handling everything, he could soar and once again stand at the pinnacle of Wilderness World, moreover, from a chess piece, he could turn into a chess player. But the carelessness would consign him to eternal damnation! ¡°Ye Chuan, I will cover up the secret of Heaven Burning Furnace, but no secret can be kept forever in this world, I also don¡¯t know how long I can hide, there will always be some people who will find some clues. I will think of a way to minimize the effect from Heavenly Yao Sect, I cannot do anything else, so take care of yourself.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia calmed down and warned, then lovingly looking at Ye Chuan, she left, hurrying towards Heavenly Yao Sect. From the beginning to the end, she used her sleeve to cover her face, not allowing Ye Chuan to see her ugly face. Heaven Burning Furnace became a scrap, this was a very serious matter. She needed to return immediately and do her best to help Ye Chuan resolve the pressure from Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, tell me, what happened to big sister Zixia?¡± Watching at the back view of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia that was getting further and further away, Ye Chuan asked Little Long¡¯er. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, big sister Zixia, she¡­¡­, to help you resist the heavenly calamity, she forcibly used a technique and burned her vitality and life, then all of a sudden¡­¡­¡± Little Long¡¯er mumbled. ¡°All of a sudden, she became a lot older and many wrinkles appeared on her face, isn¡¯t that so?¡± Ye Chuan understood and his nose became sour, but his heart felt warm. He wished to immediately catch up and hug her, then gently smooth down every wrinkle of her face. Chapter 273: Half Dragon State Chapter 273: Half Dragon State After simply dealing with the ruins of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er left, returning to Cloud Mist Sect. And after they were 1 kilometer away, the ancient paradise realm began to sink slowly, disappearing into the depth of the ground. There was only a huge crater for the common people to see. After a heavy rain, it would change into a lake. Little Long¡¯er turned his head and standing on a tall mountain, he looked at the disappearing paradise realm. Deep under that place, his mother AGusi Teli slept eternally, waiting for the next return of the paradise realm, and that will be the time for her resurrection. Merely, was there a chance? Wait until when, until he broke through to Sage realm? Even if he truly break through to the Sage realm, was is truly possible to resurrect his mother? Little Long¡¯er was reluctant to part. His young and tender face was full of sadness. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, let¡¯s go, go back to Cloud Mist Sect with big brother. Since I said I can resurrect your mother, then I will accomplice that one day for sure. The path to Sage realm is very long, but as long as we keep going, there is a hope. Perhaps, at that time, you will discover that the Sage realm is in fact also nothing, there¡¯s always mountain beyond mountain, and there furthermore are stronger beings than Sage.¡± Ye Chuan knew what Little Long¡¯er was thinking. He patted his head and walked away. Since he was anxious to return, his speed suddenly rose and in the wild, he walked as if on wings. His speed was very fast. Roar! Little Long¡¯er held his head high and suddenly changing into little Demonic Dragon, he followed behind Ye Chuan leaving behind a dejected dragon roar. Now, one man and one dragon, between the lofty ridges and towering mountains, they ran one in the front and the other in the back. Even after changing into a demonic dragon, Little Long¡¯er was unexpectedly unable to keep up with Ye Chuan. After breaking through to Daoist Master realm, the strength of Ye Chuan had not change vastly, but his speed had increased vastly. Using his full speed, he was so fast that he left behind afterimages throughout the way, moreover, he indistinctly changed into a person with human head and dragon body, and emitted dragon aura just like Little Long¡¯er. Furthermore, that Demonic Dragon Talisman within his body intensely seethed and cyan colored demonic dragon scales appeared on his body. Half Dragon State! With his speed reaching the peak, Ye Chuan naturally entered half dragon state, becoming half human half dragon. Now his strength, speed and agility were completely different from the usual, and his fighting capability had also increased sharply. After experiencing the baptism of Dragon Slaughtering Calamity, the greatest gain of Ye Chuan was not breaking through to Daoist Master realm, rather was stepping into half dragon state, refining this half dragon physique. Now, even without using any technique and wielding any treasure, just relying on his doughty physical body, no one in the same realm was his opponent. He could kill them in one punch! If Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han stood before him now, then whose fist was stronger wouldn¡¯t be certain. The fighting spirit of Ye Chuan soared as he suddenly recalled that arrogant Da Qin Crown Prince and also his tyrannical Emperor Fist. If he could, then he truly wanted to test whether the Emperor Fist of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was stronger or his half dragon physique was stronger! Unfortunately, he would never have that chance because Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han had already died inside Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. A human and a dragon were running in the wilderness at full speed, and before sunset, they finally saw the mountain entrance of Cloud Mist Sect far away. The majestic gate of former days was burned black now, and from many places, black smoke was still rising. So quick, is it Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect? A thought suddenly appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan and he accelerated. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you¡­¡­, are you a person or ghost?¡± A group of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples guarding the entrance suddenly trembled as if they had seen a ghost and retreated continuously. ¡°Is the appearance of this Big Senior Apprentice Brother really that frightening?¡± Ye Chuan sized up his body and arranged his clothing. Before he arrived at the gate, Ye Chuan had already withdrawn half dragon state, moreover, he had intentionally concealed his demonic dragon aura, so seen from outside, there was nothing abnormal. After coming out of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, although the robe he was wearing was somewhat tattered, he still also wasn¡¯t frightening enough to be called a ghost, was he? ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, is that really you? Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± A chubby figure suddenly rushed out from the gate, then rubbing his eyes, he burst into tears while clinging onto Ye Chuan. He smeared his tears and snorts on the leg of Ye Chuan. At this time, Ye Chuan noticed that fatty Zhao Dazi, this fellow had gotten even fatter than before but his voice hadn¡¯t changed. He still cried like a slaughtered pig. ¡°Fatty, what¡¯s going on, what happened?¡± ¡°Sect is fine. Merely, the atmosphere is ominous these days, moreover, senior apprentice sister Jiajia¡­.. she¡­¡­¡± Fatty stood up and choking with sobs, he was unable to speak properly. The heart of Ye Chuan shook, and holding the shoulder of fatty Zhao Dazi, he urgently said: ¡°Fatty, what happened to Jiajia? Didn¡¯t she return from paradise realm?¡± The terrain of paradise realm was very complicated, moreover, there were numerous big and small restrictions, so it was normal for many to not return after entering this paradise realm. But, Ye Chuan had never expected that this kind of misfortune would befall Zhu Sijia. The appearance of that beautiful, shrewish, unruly and energetic girl emerged in his mind and her laughter seemed to resound beside his ears. ¡°No, senior apprentice sister Jiajia successfully come out of that paradise realm and returned to Cloud Mist Sect, but seeing you didn¡¯t return even after a long time, she was heartbroken, and a few days ago, she declared to cut off her hair and enter the nunhood and would remain unmarried throughout her life. After that, she settled down beside Evil Dragon Abyss of the rear mountain, saying she would live in seclusion away from this worldly matter for her lifetime. Now, she stays alone looking at your cenotaph throughout the day without speaking a word, she ignores everyone, and she had already become very thin¡­..¡± Fatty took a deep breath and narrated as his eyes became red. Although there were many disciples in Cloud Mist Sect, only Ye Chuan and Zhu Sijia were true friends to him. But all of a sudden, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t return and Zhu Sijia became like that, one can well imagine how much he was suffering. ¡°Didn¡¯t return for a long time? Wasn¡¯t I away for just a few days?¡± Ye Chuan was confused and doubted whether he heard wrong. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you didn¡¯t return for full three months without any message. Everyone suspected that you have already¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazi answered as he sized up Ye Chuan, worrying whether the latter was so injured that he went insane. Since the time Ye Chuan entered paradise realm, it had already been three months. In addition, under that terrifying Dragon Slaughtering Calamity, many people of Cloud Mist Mountain range had lost their life, even the sect entrance gate was broken to bits by lightning strikes and was yet to be repaired. So, everyone thought that Ye Chuan had already died in an accident. Even if he was alive, he was not seen and even if he was already dead, his corpse was not found, so, Zhu Sijia was so broken-hearted. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, I forgot to tell you that a day inside the Demonic Dragon Hall is equivalent to a month outside.¡± Little Long¡¯er stepped forward and whispered. The restriction left behind by his mother AGusi Teli was profound, not to mention outsiders, even he himself also grasp only a bit of superficial knowledge. He only knew that the time inside Demonic Dragon Hall was completely different from outside. A day inside Demonic Dragon Hall is equivalent to one month outside? Ye Chuan suddenly realized what had happened. Then, he immediately rushed towards Evil Dragon Abyss of the rear mountain. He was very impatient to see Zhu Sijia. He had disappeared for three whole months without any news, no wonder the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect guarding the entrance gate were so shocked seeing him and thought that they encountered a ghost. Fatty was already so sad, no need to mention about Zhu Sijia. He didn¡¯t know how she spent these three months. Chapter 274: Heaven Concealing Great Formation Chapter 274: Heaven Concealing Great Formation Along the rugged mountain path. Ye Chuan went straight to Heavenly Dragon Peak of the rear mountain. At the time he had announced that he was moving to the rear mountain, he had named it Heavenly Dragon Peak and this lying waste place had already changed beyond recognition. Everywhere, trees of various sizes and all kinds of medicinal herbs had been planted. Now, even before arriving, he could smell a faint fragrance of medicinal herb, and looking ahead, he could see a peak with beautiful purples and brilliant reds. In the wide expanse of green, various kinds of rare medicinal herbs were growing, and they were full of vitality. The speed of Ye Chuan became faster and faster, finally, in spite of the danger of revealing his half human and half dragon form, he raised his speed to the peak. In one step, he covered the distance of 100 meters, sweeping past mountain ranges. He left fatty far behind him, and even stepping on the flying sword, fatty was unable to catch up to Ye Chuan. In one breath, he rushed towards the peak of the mountain and arriving beside Evil Dragon Abyss, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped his steps. In the distance, far away from Heavenly Dragon Hall, there was an isolated tomb and a simple and crude log cabin beside it. At this moment, a young woman was standing in front of this isolated tomb and her back was facing towards him. She didn¡¯t move for a long time. This woman wore a simple grey colored cotton cloth. Her figure was lithe and graceful, and she was half a head taller than average men, but her head was bald. She looked just like an old nun living in seclusion in remote mountains. The nose of Ye Chuan suddenly became sour, recognizing this back view. This, was this truly that shrewish, unruly and energetic Zhu Sijia? If he hadn¡¯t seen this with his own eyes, then Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t have believed it. This woman who once was unruly and shrewish now had become a nun, shaving her hair. Seeing this, he was touched and also felt guilty. He slowly walked over and called: ¡°Jiajia, I¡¯m back, Jiajia¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia seemed to be thinking something and again seemed to be distracted, she didn¡¯t hear the call of Ye Chuan. But when he reached behind her, she suddenly turned around, but she didn¡¯t throw herself into the bosom of Ye Chuan, rather suddenly covering her face, she cried, ¡°Ye Chuan, is that you, am I dreaming you again, Ye Chuan¡­¡­¡± The steps of Ye Chuan stopped and he felt as if something smashed his heart. In his previous life when he concealed the heaven with his hand, there were numerous women that threw themselves into his arms. He neither lacked treasures nor lacked women. There wasn¡¯t any type of women he had not touched. But, in the end, he was also ruined in the hands of a woman, he was schemed and was trapped in God Burial Valley. There, he was trapped for millions upon millions of years. In this life, after rebirthing as the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan had made up his mind to set foot on the pinnacle of cultivation and make a great effort to become Heaven Swallowing Great Sage, creating even more brilliance. As for women, they were dispensable to him, at most, they were just for recreation. In this life, Ye Chuan thought that he would never feel empathy for any woman. The solid-ice in the heart of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had already melted, but the ice of his heart was still there, even the heat of Heavenly Maiden was unable to melt it. But this moment, seeing the thin and pallid face, moreover, saved the head of Zhu Sijia, a crack slowly opened in his heart. He took a step forward and forcibly hugged Zhu Sijia into his bosom. ¡°Jiajia, this isn¡¯t a dream, I¡¯m back.¡± Ye Chuan held the face of Zhu Sijia and gently kissed her face filled with tears. Tuoba Xiaoniao was understanding endearing little bird, and Heavenly Maiden was irreproachable, aloof and refined, moreover, on the surface, she was ice-cold but she was burning hot in the heart. However, the one he liked the most in the heart was this energetic and daring little junior apprentice-sister. He liked her wit and appreciate her determination. The thick ice in his heart was also melted for this little junior apprentice-sister. ¡°Ye Chuan, is that really you? Tell me, I am not dreaming.¡± As if awakening from the dream, Zhu SIjia also tightly hugged Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak, he just grabbed the slender waist of Zhu Sijia and kissed her. After a long time when the two of them couldn¡¯t breathe and began to suffocate, they reluctantly separated. Zhu Sijia cried, but this time because of happiness. Now, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t need to speak anything, his action had already told him that this was not a dream. Whoosh! Evil Dragon Abyss suddenly surged forward and that terrifying blood mist seethed once again. The heart of Ye Chuan moved as he suddenly recalled Nana Tiandu who had jumped down Evil Dragon Abyss. Now, since he had already broken through to Rank 1 Daoist Master realm and had refined half dragon physique, he could take Little Long¡¯er along and explore Evil Dragon Abyss that was enveloped in blood mist. If Nan Tiandu was alive then he wanted to see the person, dead then he wanted to see the corpse, so he wanted to explore this dangerous Evil Dragon Abyss again. But, before that, there was another important matter he had to deal with. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t go to Heavenly Dragon Hall to look, instead, he suddenly pulled the hand of Zhu Sijia and said, ¡°Jiajia, let¡¯s go and meet Second Elder with me in Cloud Mist Hall. ¡°Why, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, did something happen?¡± Zhu Sijia calmed down and realized that something was wrong. ¡°Yes, there is a big matter, when this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother passed heavenly calamity, Heaven Burning Furnace was ruined. Now the task of Da Qin King is already impossible to complete and postponing also won¡¯t do as Heavenly Yao Sect might also give us trouble.¡± Ye Chuan simply said, and pulling Zhu Sijia, he walked faster. Taking advantage of this time when both Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect had yet to attack, he had to make full preparation. Zhu Sijia was shocked, and she understood that this matter was very serious, so she didn¡¯t ask any question and increased her speed to follow Ye Chuan. Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect, one was the overlord of the secular world and the other was the overlord of cultivating sects. The attack of one would already make it difficult enough for Cloud Mist Sect to survive. Having offended both of them, Cloud Mist Sect had already attracted terrifying storm. Slightest carelessness would completely eradicate Cloud Mist Sect. On the highest peak of Cloud Mist Sect, muffled sounds of bells resounded in succession. It rang for full 81 times, reverberating throughout the entire ancient sect. All disciples above Xiushi realm laid down all the matters in their hand and rushed to Cloud Mist Hall. Sitting upright at the end of this hall was Second Elder Nangong Ren who temporarily held the power of the sect. His complexion was solemn because Ye Chuan had already told him about the current situation. This time, the situation of Cloud Mist Sect was even worse than the time when Third Elder Bai Yanhu had caused internal strife. If the scheme of Bai Yanhu had succeeded, then, he would have seized the power and would have purged the oppositions, at best, the sect would have suffered serious damages. But now, if Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect attacks seriously, then Cloud Mist Sect might be eradicated thoroughly. ¡°Everyone, I declare that from this day, I will enter the seclusion cultivation, I will no longer concern myself with the matters of the sect. So, from now on, all the matters of sects will be handled by Ye Chuan. After three months, I will leave the seclusion, and if there isn¡¯t any opposition at that time, then, Ye Chuan will become our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s new Sect Master!¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren announced a shocking news in public, then left. He was already old, moreover, had already lost his legs, suffering heavy injuries, so he was unable to lead Cloud Mist Sect to deal with the upcoming storm. And since this matter was caused by Ye Chuan, he simply gave him full power to deal with this storm. The disciples were shocked and they began to talk in wishers. Although the capability of Ye Chuan was obvious, pushing him to the throne of Sect Master was naturally beyond all expectation. Ye Chuan was also very surprised. He had thought that, after understanding the situation, even if Second Elder Nangong Ren didn¡¯t hand him over, he would at least punish him and hastily arrange reply for the blame of Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect. But to his surprise, Second Elder actually kept his calm and didn¡¯t reveal this news to the public, moreover, directly handed the entire power of the sect over to him. This old man wasn¡¯t simple, no wonder he was able to cultivate Nalan Tiandu, that kind of millennium genius. Ye Chuan discovered again, Second Elder Nangong Ren who was known as Medicine Crazy wasn¡¯t as simple as he looked on the surface. In former days, he appeared as if he didn¡¯t care about the worldly affairs, but in reality, he had experienced great changes and had passed through unknown numbers of wind and waves. In this critical moment, he was able to calmly make a decision. ¡°Guards, pass down my order!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly turned around and said, ¡°From this day, shut the gate of the sect, no one is allowed to enter and exit the sect without my permission. All the disciples above Rank 3 Xiushi, heed my command, we are arranging a formation, bring all the crystal stones of the sect to me!¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan were blazing like torches, he wanted to arrange a formation, the formation which killed unknown numbers of Sages and peerless yao beasts in his previous life! When his cultivation was at Xiushi realm, he was unable to use many techniques, but after breaking through to Rank 1 Daoist Master realm, everything was different. Ye Chuan could use many great techniques he had grasped in his previous lifetime, gradually declaring to common people that he, Ye Chuan was back, formally returned to Wilderness World! Chapter 275: Entering the mountain Chapter 275: Entering the mountain The command of Ye Chuan was quickly passed down to every level. Practically all disciples of Cloud Mist Sect became busy, they gave up cultivation, gave up pill refining, weapon refining and so on works, they devoted all of their strength to the construction of a Heaven Concealing Great Formation. Cloud Mist Sect that had the inheritance of millions of years already had many defense restrictions, unfortunately, with the decline and deteriorating of Cloud Mist Sect, they were either decrepit losing its function or needed powerful cultivation to activate them. Moreover, barely activating them was also useless as they will not be able to display their true might like that. On the contrary, familiar Heaven Concealing Formation could let Ye Chuan advance and retreat as he pleased, naturally, it also takes a great amount of effort to arrange this big killing formation. The sect¡¯s entire collection of crystal stones of many years was taken out. Then, they needed to pile up earth to set up towers that pierce the skies, and underneath every tower, they must place a piece of powerful treasure as the core of the formation. Altogether they needed to set up 108 towers, so, Heaven Concealing Great Formation was also known as 108 Heaven Concealing Formation. The energy of 108 towers would be layered to form a light curtain, blotting out the sky and the sun. The crystal stones that were piled up in underground storeroom were taken out, one cartful after another; The gate of Weaponry Pavilion was also opened, and the disciples carried out a piece after piece of ancient treasures covered in dust. Every piece of treasure was at least highest-grade earth level treasure, and there was no lack of powerful heaven grade treasures too; With the mountain peak where Cloud Mist Hall was located as the center, towers were erected one after another; Confronting Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect, these kinds of powerful overlords, the heritage and potential of Cloud Mist Sect were thoroughly displayed. If Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, these kinds of new and developing sects, were also under the same circumstance as Cloud Mist Sect, then they could have at most share a hatred for the common enemy and prepare for a bloody struggle. It was impossible for them to hurriedly lay out a huge Heaven Concealing Great Formation like Cloud Mist Sect. No need to mention anything else, even taking out some earth grade treasures was hard for them. But, Cloud Mist Sect that had a long inheritance only lacked peak experts, there were many ancient treasures sealed inside the Weaponry Pavilion. This was the heritage of an ancient sect. Ye Chuan sat cross-legged inside Cloud Mist Hall, personally overseeing the core of Heaven Concealing Great Formation. Looking outside from windows, one could see disciples busily bustling about. And outside the door, Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi stood one at the left and the other at the right, becoming the dharma protector of Ye Chuan. They were unable to follow Ye Chuan to Demonic Dragon Hall at the ends of the Demonic Dragon Path, but, fortunately, after they were engulfed by the air bubble, they were sent out of the paradise realm by that restriction. On the first day, Ye Chuan sat still in Cloud Mist Hall with his eyes closed. He handed over the job of setting up the base of Heaven Concealing Great Formation to young disciples; On the second day, Ye Chuan still sat still in Cloud Mist Hall, but he handed over a blueprint to Zhu Sijia, making her lead people to engrave bent and twisted runes on those 108 towers; On the third day, disciples sent treasures that were to be used as cores to Cloud Mist Hall so that Ye Chuan would personally look over. Every time a treasure was qualified, Ye Chuan would drip a drop of his essence blood on the treasure, as a result, he knew the circumstance of the said treasures like the palm of his hand; On the fourth day, according to the instruction of Ye Chuan, people began to construct altar below every tower. And on each altar, 80 disciples would sit and learn how to superimpose each other¡¯s energy and then divert it to the tower. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. The disciples were busily bustling about for day and night and Ye Chuan had been continuously sitting in Cloud Mist Hall. Late night on the seventh day, the construction of 108 towers and alters below them was completed and after all the disciples took their position, Ye Chuan got into action, he circulated six Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and displayed a profound technique. 108 towers began to light up one by one, and they emitted a faint cyan light, illuminating the area like a cyan lighthouse. Slowly, this cyan light combined and became brighter and brighter, forming a huge light curtain, and the ancient Cloud Mist Sect was completely sealed and concealed. Looking from afar, it would appear as if the entire Cloud Mist Sect had disappeared, only a dazzling cyan light could be seen in Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Then, this cyan light rushed into the skies and was clearly visible from thousands of miles away. Moreover, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect in the neighborhood shook. After laying out Heaven Concealing Great Formation, Ye Chuan issued orders one by one. First of all, Ye Chuan promoted Protector Yang Tian Kuang who had followed him to Heavenly Yao Sect to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace at that time to Outer Sect Elder, and he was especially responsible for patrolling mountain and gathering intelligence, moreover, he also had to closely follow the movement of Da Qin Dynasty, Heavenly Yao Sect, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect. This Protector, who had always been feeling depressed due to Third Elder Bai Yanhu excluding him, finally obtained an important position in Cloud Mist Sect. Now, he rejoiced for his choice to become loyal to Ye Chuan. Fatty Zhao Dazhi also became a deacon. His job was simple, which was, inspecting 108 towers and be ready to replenish crystal stones whenever necessary. The one who truly took charge was still Zhu Sijia. Although Ye Chuan was entrusted with a mission in times of danger and had become the person in charge of Cloud Mist Sect, other than laying out Heaven Concealing Great Formation, all remaining big and small matters were practically all handed over to Zhu Sijia. And Zhu Sijia also didn¡¯t disappoint Ye Chuan, with thunder-like means, she resolved many problems of the sect and amassed power to deal with the next storm. When Zhu Sijia was drastically sorting out the sect, Ye Chuan quietly left Cloud Mist Sect, and on the same night, entered vast Cloud Mist Mountain Range. And beside him, there was only Little Long¡¯er. Returning to the wilderness, Little Long¡¯er neither had to restrain nor had any misgiving. He quickly transformed into a little demonic dragon, and with Ye Chuan, they had a competition to see whose speed was faster. This time, he actually won, not because his speed had increased rather the speed of Ye Chuan had slowed. Arranging Heaven Concealing Great Formation, Ye Chuan had spent a large amount of vitality. Even after swallowing a bottle of Pei Yuan Pill, he was unable to recover quickly. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, ride on my back and I will take you.¡± Little Long¡¯er rushed to the front of Ye Chuan, then bent over. Ye Chuan also rode him without any hesitation. Although Little Long¡¯er had yet to grow up, he however had true demonic dragon physique from birth. His small body contained powerful strength, and he could carry two people without any problem. Rushing forward for a little while, looking at the vast mountain range under moonlight, Little Long¡¯er asked: ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, where are we going now?¡± ¡°Straight ahead into the depth of Cloud Mist Mountain Range.¡± Ye Chuan paused and gently said: ¡°Little Long¡¯er, in the deepest part of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, wherever there is a dense and strong aura of a yao beast, go there, and when you find a yao beast, call me.¡± Ye Chuan said while closing his eyes, conserving his strength on the back of Little Long¡¯er. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, do you want to hunt yao beasts?¡± Little Long¡¯er was confused. Was it interesting to hunt in such time? ¡°Not hunting, it¡¯s subduing. Of course, if they act recklessly, I don¡¯t mind hunting them.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said and his aura slowly calmed down as he concentrated on cultivating. Regardless of Da Qin Crown Prince or Heavenly Yao Sect, they were too powerful compared to current Cloud Mist Sect, moreover, they had many experts. With the current strength of Cloud Mist Sect, only Heaven Concealing Great Formation was not enough to stop enemies outside the gate with certainty. So, Ye Chuan needed a group of strong helpers who would absolutely obey his orders. In this extremely short period of time, it was very unlikely to raise the strength of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and it was also too late to recruit outside experts, so the attention of Ye Chuan turned to vast Cloud Mist Mountain Range. In the remote mountains, there were various kinds of running wild yao beasts, they were naturally the best helpers. Chapter 276: Yao beasts combat team Chapter 276: Yao beasts combat team One person one dragon quickly disappeared into the vast mountain. After merging with the little demonic dragon, Little Long¡¯er had a body of a demonic dragon. No need to mention how tough his body was, he also possessed the sharp sense of Demonic Dragon Clan now. Before long, he arrived at a valley carrying Ye Chuan. Exceeding their expectation, the yao qi inside the valley was very dense and the aura was also not weak. Merely, it was not coming from a powerful yao beast, rather was coming from a group of pangolins. These pangolins had glossy skin, and no need to mention that they were twice as bigger than ordinary pangolins, their entire body was covered with a layer of thick black colored scales which couldn¡¯t be penetrated by an ordinary sword. Moreover, now, a dozen or so pangolins had gotten together, and they actually surrounded a fierce tiger and made a meal out of it. It was clear that these pangolins were variations or even ancient wilderness mutant species. Sitting on the back of Little Long¡¯er, Ye Chuan suddenly opened his closed eyes and jumping off, he rushed straight into this group of pangolins. But, Little Long¡¯er didn¡¯t move, he just looked at what Ye Chuan wanted to do. Moreover, he didn¡¯t need to personally make a move, just his demonic dragon aura alone was enough to frighten them. Unlike Little Long¡¯er, Ye Chuan had completely hidden his aura and just like an ordinary person, he didn¡¯t appear to be any threatening. But, when Ye Chuan was merely 100 meters away, the leader pangolin felt restless and took the initiative to turn away, then the remaining pangolins also followed in confusion. In their eyes, Ye Chuan was even more dangerous than that fierce tiger. Very often, the sense of yao beasts was very sensitive. Their sense was a lot more powerful than a human cultivator. Ye Chuan suddenly accelerated and with a flashing of cyan light, 12 human faced snakes appeared, stopping the leader pangolin. Then, the cyan light flashed again, and many Evil Eyed Cow Demons appeared surrounding these pangolins. Seeing the situation was anything but reassuring, these variant pangolins quickly drilled into the ground, wanting to bypass these human faced snakes and Evil Eyed Cow Demon via underground. Ye Chuan just raised his leg and stomped on the ground, setting off a strong shockwave. The pangolins that had drilled into the ground didn¡¯t have time to flee, all of them were shaken out. And the next matters was only to be expected, all sized more than 200 pangolins were caught by Ye Chuan and all of them were tamed and sent into Cyan Lotus Lamp. Ye Chuan flashed and landed on the back of Little Long¡¯er, then said, ¡°Little Long¡¯er, onto the next target, go!¡± Little Long¡¯er soared and headed eastward as he said, ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, now I understand. You want to subdue these yao beasts and place them in Heaven Concealing Great Formation to stop the experts of Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect, isn¡¯t that so?¡± Watching the action of Ye Chuan, Little Long¡¯er quickly understood the aim of Ye Chuan. As for why Ye Chuan dripped a drop of blood to subdue yao beasts then where did he placed them, they were unnecessary to ask. Everyone had their own secret or unique means, they cannot be spoken easily. Although Little Long¡¯er was young, he already understood many matters. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, you are truly intelligent.¡± Ye Chuan smiled. Little Long¡¯er was somewhat embarrassed, but he was still confused in his heart. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, these pangolins are not bad, they seemed to be mutated species, not ordinary beasts, they can be regarded as yao beasts. But, although they can be used to stop average people, to use them for stopping the experts of Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect, that is¡­¡­¡± ¡°This kind of little fellows are naturally useless in one-one battle, moreover, encountering a real expert, even several hundreds of them might not necessarily be able to stop the other party¡¯s step. But, if different yao beasts form a group and cooperate harmoniously, then that would be a different matter. In addition, there is Heaven Concealing Great Formation, so, no matter who break in, they would eat a loss. Little Long¡¯er, it is useless to say anything now, at that time you will know after seeing. The battle between experts is like playing chess, time and place are often more important than their own fighting capability!¡± Ye Chuan answered. After that, he closed his eyes again and took rest. He had consumed a great amount of his vitality to lay out the Heaven Concealing Great Formation, in addition, using Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique to tame yao beasts also consumed his vitality, so, he wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible. Seeing the exhaustion of Ye Chuan, Little Long¡¯er didn¡¯t ask again, he just rushed towards the depth of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Relying on his outstanding sense, he found another group of yao beasts very quickly. This time, he encountered a group of golden eagles that had built their nest on a cliff. No need to talk about the difficulty of approaching them, as long as there was the slightest movement, these birds would immediately wake up and fly into the sky. Average people didn¡¯t have any means to catch them. But, that didn¡¯t pose any problem to Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er. In terms of speed, Golden Eagles couldn¡¯t match Demonic Dragon Clan. Not long after, a group of golden eagles was sent inside Cyan Lotus Lamp. Deep into the night, when all creations were fast asleep, a human and a dragon however were quickly rushing deeper into the Cloud Mist Mountain range. All along the path, as long as they encounter yao beasts or even wild beasts with distinguishing feature and ability, Ye Chuan would catch them. He appeared as if he wanted to change Cloud Mist Sect into the Yao Beast Nation. In the beginning, Little Long¡¯er only looked on from the side, but later, he also began helping Ye Chuan intercept yao beasts and even knocked them to the ground. For three consecutive days, Ye Chuan wandered deep into the mountains. And the numbers of yao beasts within Cyan Lotus Lamp became more and more. The greater part had their own distinctive character, some could drill a hole, some could fly in the sky and some could even live in the water and marsh. Unfortunately, although he had caught many yao beasts, he had yet to catch truly strong yao beast. He didn¡¯t know whether they hid far away sensing their aura, or they were badly frightened by the recent Dragon Slaughtering Calamity, escaping the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. On the evening of the fourth day, while strolling in the midst of the mountain, they unexpectedly discovered a small village inside a secluded valley. There were barbarians deep in the mountain, but even hunters wouldn¡¯t come at this place. In such a remote and dangerous place, there was a village, Ye Chuan found this strange. Ye Chuan instructed Little Long¡¯er to descend and confusedly walked over. The path leading to this small village was twisted and curved. Walking further ahead, many forks appeared, and raising his head to look all around, all paths appeared practically the same. This implied that there was a Nine Palaces Formation. If an unfamiliar person walks into it, then he would lose their way and even if he walked for ten days or half a month, he might not necessarily reach the village. Ye Chuan was even more surprised. The path leading to the village had Nine Palaces Formation, this was even stranger. Although this formation was powerful, it was naturally impossible to stump once Heaven Concealing Great Sage. Before long, two people passed through the formation and arrived inside the valley. Looking up, they saw little courtyards built with grey bricks and black tiles leaning on the mountain. There were trees, and also big and small roads extending all directions inlayed with green slabstones. And on the big gate of a small courtyard, a big paired couplet was still stuck. Although the winds blew and rain poured, the characters written on them were still clear. The strokes of the characters were powerful, it clearly showed the way of calligraphy. This was absolutely not something written by an ordinary villager. Chapter 277: Old Demon of Mount Yin Chapter 277: Old Demon of Mount Yin The surrounding inside the valley was elegant. There were mountains and waters and it appeared just like a Land of Peach Blossoms secluded from the real world. But, he couldn¡¯t see any figure even though the sky wasn¡¯t dark yet. All little courtyards were very quiet as if this village was already abandoned. Ye Chuan lead Little Long¡¯er forward and after a short while, they arrived in front of a small courtyard, then he lightly knocked on the door. On the surface, this small courtyard also very quiet like others, but even without using any technique, they could sense the aura of people inside, moreover, there were many of them. And listening carefully, they could even hear the vague sounds of people talking coming from inside. But, after the knock, they thoroughly quieted down without any response. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, what should we do?¡± Little Long¡¯er turned around and asked. ¡°Continue, continue knocking until someone comes out.¡± Ye Chuan faintly instructed. Since he had already arrived here, he naturally had to understand what was going on here. Only after a long time, finally along with the rustling sounds of footsteps, the door opened from inside and a white-bearded old man came out to look. He was an old man of late seventies or early eighties. He already had one foot in the grave. His face was full of wrinkles. After opening the door, he confusedly looked at Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er, then said, ¡°Who are you, how did you enter? Seeing Ye Chuan didn¡¯t resemble a bad person, in addition, seeing Little Long¡¯er, this only seven or eight-year-old boy accompanying him, this old man relaxed, but his eyes were full of doubts. The Nine Palaces Formation at the entrance of the village was something ordinary expert couldn¡¯t break, how did these two people enter? ¡°We just walked in.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and bowing slightly, he said, ¡°This junior just happened to understand a thing or two about formations, and I also happen to know about this Nine Palaces Formation that has been long lost in this mainland, so, we rashly entered to seek temporary lodging, I hope senior will not take offense.¡± ¡°Seek temporary lodging?¡± The old man shook his head. This place was not some town. Coming here, deep into the wild to seek temporary lodging was clearly abnormal. ¡°No, you should leave, leave this place quickly, the farther the better.¡± The old man spoke while closing the door, but a big hand suddenly pushed the door. Ye Chuan who was six to seven meters away instantly appeared in front of that old man and said, ¡°Senior, it is already getting dark, yao beasts run wild outside, let us brothers stay just for one night. Tomorrow, early in the morning, we will leave, how about it?¡± ¡°No, youngster, it is not that this old man didn¡¯t want to let you stay, rather¡­¡­¡± The old man shook his head and seemed to be in a dilemma. ¡°Father, why are you speaking so much with them? Quickly drive them away, otherwise, let them find an empty house as they please to reside. If they are killed by that Old Demon of Mount Yin, then they cannot blame us, they can only blame themselves.¡± A simple and vigorous voice came from inside, and a big fellow walked out in large strides, then completely opening the door with a bang, he coldly looked at Ye Chuan. He clearly didn¡¯t look happy. Old Demon of Mount Yin? What evil spirit was that? Ye Chuan thought and now, he didn¡¯t want to leave even more. He was searching for powerful yao beasts everywhere, if he was to find a truly powerful evil spirit, then that was all he could wish for. And carefully sizing up this unhappy big fellow, Ye Chuan was somewhat shocked in his heart. At a first glance, this big fellow seemed to have innate superhuman strength, and the energy fluctuation within his body was also powerful, not that inferior to Flame Devil. He was clearly a Daoist Master realm expert. But, even such expert was unexpectedly so frightened with that Old Demon of Mount Yin that he was hiding with his entire family, abandoning the entire village, one could well imagine how powerful that evil spirit was. ¡°Mu Shan, you shouldn¡¯t be rude, don¡¯t scare the guests.¡± The old man loudly berated his son, then shaking his head, he ignored big fellow and turning towards Ye Chuan, he said, ¡°Noble son, it¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want to offer shelter, rather it¡¯s truly unsuitable to stay overnight inside the village. Especially tonight, I fear Old Demon of Mount Yin, that peerless evil spirit, would come again to absorb the soul of people, so, letting you stay here wouldn¡¯t be my good intention, rather will harm you two. You two brothers should quickly leave this place, don¡¯t stay in the mountain, just quickly leave this entire mountain.¡± ¡°Then, what about you all, how come you all are not leaving?¡± Ye Chuan asked, roughly understanding what was going on. ¡°Alas, our Mu family¡¯s ancestors had lived here, it has already been millions of years. Each grass, each tree, each brick, each tile, leaving all of them here, how can we walk away?¡± The old man shook his head and he became dejected, seemingly, he was getting closer and closer to the coffin. The big fellow who was aggressive just a moment ago also became dejected. ¡°Senior, there are many people here, let us two brothers stay for one night. Now, it¡¯s about to get dark, and with yao beasts running amuck at night, it would be even more dangerous. Even if you cannot accommodate us two, can you accommodate just my younger brother? He is still young, if we encounter yao beasts, then I am afraid, he will not be able to run away.¡± Ye Chuan continued to request and retracting his aura and energy fluctuation, he pretended to be an ordinary cultivator, then added, ¡°Senior, rest assured, we two are the outer disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, this time we came to pick up medicinal herbs, we are not some bad people. Look, this is our waist tablet.¡± Ye Chuan took out a waist tablet from his bosom, then gave it to the old man to look. ¡°As it turned out you are the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, okay, come in. Merely, this old man will make it clear beforehand, tonight is very dangerous, Old Demon of Mount Yin can come at any time, if you two encounter danger then don¡¯t blame us for not warning.¡± The old man shook his head, then turning around, he led the way in the front, and after Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er followed into the house, he said, ¡°Noble son, the other rooms are already full, so, I can only wrong you to live here.¡± ¡°Just having a place to stay is already good, thank you, senior.¡± Ye Chuan slightly bowed and secretly signaled Little Long¡¯er to maintain his composure. Now, he could vaguely hear sounds coming once again, so, looking up, he saw both east and west wings along with principal rooms were already full of people. There were men, women, old and young. It seemed the people of entire village was amassed here. Frequently, someone would look over from far away wondering who dared to actually come here and seek temporary lodging at this time. ¡°I heard, they are the outer disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and they entered the mountain to pick up medicinal herbs. One is no more than 20 and the other is just 7-8 years old.¡± ¡°Oh my god, only 7-8 years old, if Old Demon of Mount Yin came, then what should we do? What¡¯s wrong with Old Mu? Letting them stay in such a time, isn¡¯t that harming them?¡± ¡°Yes, if they were experts of Cloud Mist Sect, then that would have been better. Perhaps, they might have helped us to get rid of Old Demon of Mount Yin. But, these two little boys, I am afraid they would die, dying at such a young age, it¡¯s so pitiful.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. People talked in whispers, and although their voice was small and average people couldn¡¯t hear them, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er however heard them clearly. Little Long¡¯er was restless, he didn¡¯t know what kind of yao beast was this so-called Old Demon of Mount Yin. He involuntarily wanted to ask, but seeing Ye Chuan had closed his eyes and sat cross-legged to rest, he was forced to swallow his words. He also followed suit and close his eyes to rest. Creak, the small wooden door of the room was pushed open and a little girl with short braid timidly entered carrying a basket. Then, placing down that basket on the floor, she hastily ran away, she was too shy to greet. From the sweet smell coming from the basket, they knew that there was a simple meal inside it, and that sweet smile involuntarily stimulated the appetite of Little Long¡¯er, thus, Little Long¡¯er involuntarily swallowed his saliva. ¡°Eat, eat more, if you don¡¯t eat, then where you will get the strength to catch that yao beast?¡± Ye Chuan gently instructed and continued to sit cross-legged without moving. Little Long¡¯er however ate like wolf and tiger, and he felt that this food delivered by that little girl was better than a lavish meal. Chapter 278: Yang Rune Chapter 278: Yang Rune The night gradually become darker and darker. After eating and drinking to his fill, Little Long¡¯er gradually lied on the table and fell asleep. He lightly snored and often called out his mother in dreams with tears flowing out of his eyes. A child is after all a child, even if he is matured, he is still a child. Ye Chuan walked over and gently draped a robe on Little Longer and also wiped the tears on his face. Little Long¡¯er was fortunate. After merging with the little demonic dragon, now, he was the sole alive and kicking demonic dragon in this wilderness world. He was destined to be extraordinary. In the future, his achievement will be far superior compared to average people. But, he was also unfortunate, he neither had a father nor mother since his birth, and the first time he saw his mother, she was inside a stone coffin. The lifespan of a demonic dragon was astonishing, they could live for thousands of years, and even millions of years. The longer the lifespan, the more powerful the combat ability. In his life, perhaps, he was doomed to be solitary. Not many people can accompany him throughout his life. No matter the hatred nor good feeling, after millions of years, all of them would become cold like the deep sea. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡­, don¡¯t go¡­¡­ that Bianzi is truly good¡­¡­, good looking¡­¡­¡± Little Long¡¯er stretched his hand to grab the hand of Ye Chuan and said something in his dream. That shy little girl? This kid, so quickly displaying the natural instinct of Demonic Dragon Clan? Ye Chuan shook his head and gently pulling open the hand of Little Long¡¯er, he retreated to one side and continue to sit cross-legged on the ground. The people in principle room, east-wing and west-wing were on tenterhooks and were talking in whispers. But before dawn, don¡¯t know who yawned first and laid down, the other people followed after and slowly entered the dreamland. Only two people were still quietly walking all around. One was big fellow Mu Shan and the other is that old man with wrinkle all over his face. In the hands of this old man, now he had writing pen. It was more than half arm in length and was completely black in color. It was as thick as a handle of a knife and compared to ordinary writing pens, it was a lot bigger. From afar, it didn¡¯t resemble a writing pen, instead some kind of killing weapon. After looking all around, the old man sat in front of a desk, then taking a shield, he dipped the writing pen in his hand into an ink, then began to write on this shield. Those strokes were quickly engraved on the shield and become a profound rune. The space between the eyebrows of Ye Chuan suddenly jumped. He had thought that the big fellow Mu Shan was the expert of this small mountain village, but as it now seemed, he was completely mistaken. Even he made an error of judgment. This old man with wrinkles all over his face who seemed to have one leg on the grave was the real expert. Along with his writing, deep marks appeared on the hard shield, if the tip of this writing pen fell on the body, then what would happen? Ye Chuan secretly looked over and his eyes shone. The writing pen of the old man as if had spirit rapidly inscribed runes on many weapons. And at the end, he spread out a blank sheet of paper and wrote a strange rune. ¡°Father, this rune of Mu Clan, is it really useful against that evil spirit?¡± The big fellow Mu Shan asked. He was a ferocious fiend in front of outsiders, but he was obedient in front of his father and didn¡¯t dare to offend him. His cultivation and strength, all came from the teaching of his father, he knew the strength of his father. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s useful. If it¡¯s useless, the Old Demon of Mount Yin, that evil spirit, would have already massacred our Mu Clan, killing everyone.¡± The old man laid down the writing pen and then instructed lightly, ¡°Mu Shan, go, distribute these armors, weapons and runes. Even without cultivation, we at least have this rune.¡± ¡°Father, what about those two disciples of Cloud Mist Sect?¡± The big fellow asked. ¡°Those two¡­¡­, they aren¡¯t simple, father also is unable to see through them.¡± The old man slightly muttered and said: ¡°Just give them two runes and don¡¯t offend them, also don¡¯t have too much hope. Current Cloud Mist Sect is no longer the Cloud Mist Sect of hundred thousand years ago¡­¡­¡± The old man sighed as he lamented about the deteriorating situation of Cloud Mist Sect. Once upon a time, the entire Cloud Mist Range was the rear mountain of Cloud Mist Sect, and all the people resided there received the protection of Cloud Mist Sect. Now, let alone protecting other, Cloud Mist Sect was unable to protect even itself and newly arrived Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were squeezing in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. A sect has its brilliance and also has its decline, life was variable. ¡°Yes.¡± The big fellow Mu Shan received order and quietly distributed weapons, armors and runes. The fighters of Mu Clan village closed their eyes to rest. Only when the Old Demon of Mount Yin comes, they would immediately awaken. Mu Shan appeared big and tall, moreover, he behaved somewhat roughly and boldly, but, his movement was especially agile. Lightly putting two runes beside Ye Chuan and little Long¡¯er, he quietly retreated. The courtyard became silent again. This time, it appeared as if even the big fellow Mu Shan and the old man had fallen asleep. Ye Chuan carefully sized up the Mu Clan rune in his hand. The strokes were vigorous and powerful. It didn¡¯t appear as if an old man had written it. Carefully sensing, he could feel that this rune was emitting a trace of vigorous aura, was a pure yang qi. Without a doubt, this was a Yang Rune, it was especially used to restrain evil spirits and ghosts. Tens of thousands of years ago, this rune was comparatively common, many experts of sect can all refine it, but now, this rune had been long lost, even elders of Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t know it. But to his surprise, these people who lived inside the mountain unexpectedly understood it. This tiny Mu Clan village seemed to have a truly long history. Because they are isolated from the world, many ancient times¡¯ techniques and traditions were still preserved here. Just like this antique courtyard, it occupied a small area but had a unique charm, such buildings were rarely seen outside. The night wind became increasingly stronger and colder. Ye Chuan also felt chill, not cold, rather a bone-piercing chill. Weak people or newborn babies might fall seriously ill under this chill, but at that time, the rune in their hand suddenly heated up, and a warm current suddenly appeared within their body which resisted against that strange chill. Came! That peerless evil spirit has finally come! The spirit of Ye Chuan shook, but he still sat cross-legged on the ground without moving. He secretly circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, secretly preparing strong power. Little Long¡¯er also woke up. Although he was still a child, his instinct of demonic dragon quickly sensed the danger. Just when he was about to get up, Ye Chuan secretly signaled him so he immediately continued to pretend to sleep. Outside the room, it was completely silent, the old man and big fellow Mu Shan were also awake, but they similarly pretended to be entirely unaware, silently waiting for the evil spirit to arrive. Whoosh! An ill wind blew over and the atmosphere became even colder. From a distant place, suddenly a mewing sound of a cat came over, then there was no sound, only a faint rustling sound resounded. The cold wind blew over and the fallen leaves were blown away. Suddenly a figure appeared in the courtyard, ghastly like a mummy that crawled out from inside a thousand-year-old tomb, it was dried up without any flesh. It was only skin and bones, and he didn¡¯t wear any clothes rather a white colored cotton strip was wrapped around it. Strange figure and strange attire frightened Little Long¡¯er who was pretending to be asleep and his face became pale. Moreover, he involuntarily trembled. Chapter 279: Chunqiu Sage Chapter 279: Chunqiu Sage After looking all around for a while, the Old Demon of Mount Yin rode the ill wind towards the east wing, then opening its mouth, it blew a sinister ill wind which blew open the window and he entered. After that, looking at a group of people fallen asleep on the ground, the Old Demon of Mount Yin chuckled and walked over to a middle-aged woman. He then bent over and lowering its head, it lightly sucked her mouth. This well-built middle-aged woman began withering, in the blink of an eye, she became skinny and ghastly pale. Her soul, blood and vital yang had been snatched away by this Old Demon of Mount Yin. Next, the old demon clicked its tongue and moved behind a little girl. That little girl had her hair combed into a short braid. Her cheek was flushed and she still had a trace of shy smile on her face. Don¡¯t know what she was dreaming but she was entirely unaware of the danger. It¡¯s her! She was the little girl who had brought them the meal! Little Long¡¯er suddenly raised his head and just when he was about to transform into a demonic dragon and charge over to save her. A big hand stopped him. ¡°Don¡¯t move, wait a bit!¡± Ye Chuan stood behind Little Long¡¯er and his complexion was chilly and full of killing intent, but he kept his calm and made Little Longer wait a bit. The opportune moment had yet to come. Ka ka, vague sounds of laughter resounded. The Old Demon of Mount Yin complacently laughed and bent over wanting to suck blood, qi and vital yang of this little girl, but it suddenly felt pain at the space between its eyebrows, and just like he was burned, a cyan colored smoke curled up. The little girl was startled awake and she smoothly picked up a yang rune beside her, moreover, she happened to pressed it on the space between the eyebrows of this Old Demon of Mount Yin. In a split second, this Old Demon of Mount Yin who had come riding the ill wind screamed strangely and flew away. Moreover, his aura decreased sharply, seemingly, he was seriously injured by the rune in the hands of the little girl. ¡°Damn it, again this strange rune!¡± The old demon was startled and also angry. But he couldn¡¯t attend to alarm still sleeping numerous preys, so he stretched its right hand towards the little girl who was shrunk in one corner, wanting to tear her into pieces to vent his anger. The bone-chilling wind suddenly spread around this wing. And still asleep people were startled awake, then seeing the figure of Old Demon of Mount Yin, they were so terrified that they dispersed in confusion. ¡°Ka ka ka, fresh blood and vital yang, don¡¯t run!¡¯ The Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and while grabbing the hand of that little girl with his right hand, he simultaneously blew ill wind to close all doors and windows of this wing with a bang. Now, no one could escape and all of them were trapped inside. This old evil spirit was not only brutal, he was also greedy by nature. He wanted to capture more than ten people of this wing in one fell swoop. And thinking about the benefit of devouring vital yang of these more than ten people of Mu Clan village, the Old Demon of Mount Yin couldn¡¯t help being happy. Terrified screaming sounds suddenly resounded accompanied by the sinister laughter of Old Demon of Mount Yin. Little Long¡¯er was unable to endure, and began transforming into a demonic dragon, but his shoulders were firmly held down so he was unable to rush out. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, wait a minute, it¡¯s not the time yet!¡± Ye Chuan was very calm, the more critical moment, the calmer Ye Chuan became, but his eyes were ice-cold without any emotion fluctuation, absolutely was cold. After breaking through to Daoist Master realm, the strength of Ye Chuan had risen to a level where he could use many techniques and the influence of his previous life experience had also deepened. As a Great Sage who once had dominated the world, he gradually began to display his brilliance. When he needed to be calm, he was very calm and colder than even an ice-cold statue, coldly waiting for a chance. Either he would not make a move or make a move like a thunderbolt. This kind of calmness without any emotion fluctuation somewhat scared Little Long¡¯er. Although he was determined to save the little girl, he didn¡¯t dare to move without the permission of Ye Chuan. Peng! A loud sound suddenly resounded. The walls of this wing were suddenly blown open at the same time, and two figures directly jump in. They, one in the left and the other in the right, attacked Old Demon of Mount Yin. One was bare-handed but his fist was like a sledgehammer, and the other had a unique writing pen, and this pen was unexpectedly sharper than flying sword. The old man Old Mu and big fellow Mu Shan launched a joint attack at Old Demon of Mount Yin. ¡°Again you two, this kind of attack, is it useful? Ka ka ka¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin suddenly retreated, like a light fallen leaf, he appeared as if he didn¡¯t have any weight, thus, he could move as he please in the sky dodging the attacks of the old man and big fellow Mu Shan. Even when fighting one against two, he was unexpectedly more than capable to fight. Even while grabbing that little girl in his hands, he still had the expression of a cat playing with a mouse. ¡°Old evil spirit, you killed my 21 clansmen, I will fight to the death with you!¡± Failing to deal any damage even after several attacks, the old man was angry. He silently used his technique and wrote in the air using the writing pen in his hand. His writing speed became faster and faster, leaving behind afterimages. Those afterimages combined, forming all kinds of beast phantoms or runes. And they rushed towards Old Demon of Mount Yin. There were dragons, fierce tigers, huge snakes¡­¡­, in the blink of an eye, a powerful army appeared and the atmosphere was filled with strong killing intent. At this moment, the complexion of Old Demon of Mount Yin became solemn, and he gradually slowed down, feeling pressure. These beast phantoms couldn¡¯t be killed and their single hit would crack his bones, so, if he kept on just dodging blindly, then even if he was not killed by these beast phantoms then he would also die due to exhaustion. Spring and Autumn Writing Technique? This is¡­¡­, are they the descendants of ancient Chunqiu (Spring and Autumn) Sage? Ye Chuan who was looking on with cold eyes was shocked and he suddenly recalled a long-held memory covered in dust. When he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he had heard the prestige of Chunqiu Sage as well as his that unpredictable Spring and Autumn Writing Technique. He had sent Ghost Hand Medicinal King sand Blue Eyed Yao Empress to invite the other party to Heaven Concealing Peak, unfortunately, they didn¡¯t find Chunqiu Sage as he had gone missing. Finally, he got the news that Chunqiu Sage had completely disappeared from this secular world. And from rumor, he learned that during seclusion in overseas island wanting to make a breakthrough, Chunqiu Sage was unfortunately annihilated under powerful heavenly calamity without leaving any successor behind. As it now seems the rumors of that years were absolutely wrong. It was still uncertain whether Chunqiu Sage died or not, but his techniques had been passed down, and it was passed down from generation to generation in this secluded Mu Clan village! But it¡¯s too bad, the old man was too far from obtaining the true essence of Chunqiu Sage. He had learned at most a bit of superficial knowledge, otherwise, even one hundred Old Demon of Mount Yin wouldn¡¯t be his opponent. But this little bit of superficial knowledge also gave Old Demon of Mount Yin a hard time. After losing the initiative, he was unable to pull back and became more and more passive. He wanted to rush up and counterattack several times, but numerous beast phantoms forced him back. The forehead of the old man was already filled with sweat and he was now breathing heavily. The might of Spring and Autumn Writing Technique was powerful, but this was a technique only a Sage realm expert could use with ease, with his later stage Daoist Master realm cultivation base, despite the serious injury to his vitality, he was unable to sustain this technique for long. Once he was completely exhausted, the entire Mu Clan village would be annihilated by the Old Demon of Mount Yin! The Old Demon of Mount Yin also saw the state of the old man, so he just laughed sinisterly and no longer was in a hurry to counterattack. He instead began to dodge all around, wanting to exhaust the vitality of the old man. Often, he would place the little girl in front of him, which forced the old man to stop his movement. As for, big fellow Mu Shan, he had a mind to help but his cultivation level was insufficient, rushing up rashly would only interrupt the attack of his father. Chapter 280: Bragging Chapter 280: Bragging When the old man suddenly used Spring and Autumn Writing Technique, Ye Chaun was even more not anxious to rush out. He stood at a dark corner and carefully observed the situation. Seeing the little girl was still alive, Little Long¡¯er also relaxed and slowly withdrew his dragon state. Under the influence of Ye Chuan, Little Long¡¯er also calmed down, learning to restrain his impulse. Little Long¡¯er kept calm and on the other side, the battle however intensified. Perhaps, he knew perfectly well that he wouldn¡¯t be able to persist for long, so, the old man just risked everything. He initiated ferocious attacks, trying hard to give a heavy blow. And in the end, he even bit his tongue and used a secret technique to stimulate his body, vastly increasing his strength all of a sudden. Unfortunately, after ten moves, his strength began to decrease and the writing pen in his hand became heavier, moreover, his speed of writing also decreased. Now, he was even unable to lift up the writing pen, and the beast phantoms in the sky became fewer and fewer. ¡°Kakaka, old fellow, offer your blood and vital yang. I like the vital yang of Daoist Master the most.¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and seizing the chance, he counter-attacked all of a sudden. He stretched his hand and from the center of his palm, a long vine unexpectedly flew out and ferociously lashed the old man. The latter stood unstably on his feet and vomited a mouthful of blood. Now, he was on the verge of collapse. ¡°Father¡­¡­¡± The big fellow Mu Shan anxiously rushed over and ferociously punched towards the chest of the Old Demon of Mount Yin. But, the Old Demon of Mount Yin just laughed without dodging. He let the punch of big fellow Mu Shan land on him. Thud, like hitting a hollow tree trunk, Old Demon of Mount Yin appeared to have no matter, and the oncoming force ferociously sent Mu Shan flying, moreover, his wrist was broken. ¡°Idiot, use Mu Clan Rune!¡± The old man rushed forward and once again biting his tongue, he brandished his writing pen with great difficulty towards Old Demon of Mount Yin. Today, if they didn¡¯t kill this old evil spirit and the father and son duo will die here, then none of their clansmen will survive. All of them will be killed by this old evil spirit! The Old Demon of Mount Yin snorted. He immediately turned around, giving up his chance to kill wounded big fellow Mu Shan. He opened his big mouth and blew sinister bone chilling ill wind directly towards the old man. The old man was already an oil lamp without oil, and his vitality was greatly damaged. Under this attack of Old Demon of Mount Yin, he shivered and was frozen stiff, helplessly looking at the incoming long whip. Pa! The old man heavily fell to the ground. ¡°Old Mu, Old Mu¡­¡­¡± ¡°Brothers, circumstance changed, we cannot wait any longer, go!¡± A group of Mu Clan village soldiers shouted loudly and burst in. Some were holding spears, some were holding shields, altogether, there were about a dozen people. Originally, according to the plan of Old Mu, they were to hide on one side to cut off the retreat route of Old Demon of Mount Yin. When he was fleeing, they were to rush out and launch deadly attacks. Unfortunately, the old evil spirit was so powerful that even after being injured by the rune pressed on the space between his eyebrows, he was still able to reverse the war situation. This was contrary to the expectations of everyone. And seeing Old Mu was about to be killed by the old evil spirit, they had to rush out. ¡°Kakaka, you all have come at just the right time, now, I don¡¯t need to waste time to look all of you, kakakaka¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily and tens of long vines suddenly shot out from his body, and all Mu Clan village soldiers were sent flying. Even though their body was covered with heavy armors, these Xiushi realm soldiers were basically unable to even get close to him, let alone threaten this old evil spirit. The laughter of this Old Demon of Mount Yin resounded again. Now he had no misgiving to capture all the people of Mu Clan village. At that time, a tall figure suddenly flickered from the ground and arriving at the front of this old evil spirit, he ferociously hit the chest of this old evil spirit with the Mu Clan Rune. The big fellow Mu Shan who was similarly unable to even approach old evil spirit and feigning death suddenly attacked seizing the chance when this Old Demon of Mount Yin was laughing excitedly. The might of this rune was clearly more powerful than his powerful fist. Now, a dense black smoke curled up from the body of the old evil spirit. His chest had a burned hole and was badly mangled. The might of this kind of yang rune was distinctive, it was nothing for ordinary people, but it was fatal for many evil spirits. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, abominable!¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin suddenly reached out to crush the throat of big fellow Mu Shan, and his body also emitted many long vines which tied the latter¡¯s body. They gradually became tighter and tighter, and after some time, big fellow Mu Shan would be strangled to death while still alive. The big fellow Mu Shan¡¯s complexion turned red. He was unable to breathe, but he still didn¡¯t loosen his hand. He firmly pressed Mu Clan Rune on the body of Old Demon of Mount Yin. Even if he died, he should at least inflict a heavy damage on this terrifying old evil spirit! ¡°Little Long¡¯er!¡± Ye Chuan who had been hiding in one dark corner suddenly shouted an order. Roar! Little Long¡¯er who was already unable to endure held his head high and roared, transforming into a demonic dragon. Then, directly breaking down the walls, he ferociously collided with the back of Old Demon of Mount Yin. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin gave a horrible shreak once again. The collision of Little Long¡¯er was a lot stronger compared to the powerful punch of big fellow Mu Han. This collision nearly broke the spin of this Old Demon of Mount Yin. Under normal circumstance, no matter how powerful the physical strength of Little Long¡¯er was, with the means of old evil spirit, it would have been almost impossible for him to collide as he pleased against this old evil spirit as the old evil spirit would have easily dodged him. But, after a fierce battle with the old man and also suffering the damage from yang rune in succession, the old evil spirit was also injured heavily, and the one moment of carelessness made him suffer another heavy injury. Roar! Another deep dragon roar resounded. After transforming into a demonic dragon, Little Long¡¯er innately had extraordinary power. He immediately initiated a series of violent attacks, and relying on his tyrannical physical strength, he tied down the old evil spirit in a close quarter combat. Now, the close quarter combat power of Demonic Dragon Clan was completely displayed. Old Demon of Mount Yin hurriedly counterattacked, but his always successful vines were nothing but an itch to Little Long¡¯er. Seeing his lashes were useless, he immediately changed his vines into a rope, trying to tie up Little Long¡¯er. The result, the tyrannical physical strength of Little Long¡¯er snapped the rope. ¡°Damn it, where did this evil dragon come from?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin was startled and angry. He gritted his teeth and cursed, then turned around to flee. He was careless tonight and suffered ambush in succession. If he continued to get entangled here, perhaps, he might really die here tonight. Now, the big fellow Mu Shan was glaring like a tiger eyeing its prey, old man Old Mu also had stood up at an unknown time. Once he regained his strength and use Spring and Autumn Writing Technique again, that would be troublesome! Little Long¡¯er lowered his head and ferociously rushed forward but he hit only a phantom. The Old Demon of Mount Yin came strangely and also left strangely. Harnessing the ill wind, he floated to the courtyard and said, ¡°Today, this lordship will spare your life, giving you all one more day to live. Tomorrow night, I will devour your blood and vital yang, leaving no one behind, kakaka¡­¡­¡± Inside the courtyard, a whirlwind suddenly appeared and the fallen leaves suddenly flew all over the sky. The Old Demon of Mount Yin roared with laughter and harnessing the ill wind, he left. Mu Clan village people finally relaxed, but hearing the words of this evil spirit, they immediately became pale. They survived today, but what about tomorrow? Those sharp words left behind by Old Demon of Mount Yin, just like death shadow, terrified everyone. Even big fellow Mu Han had his heart in jitters. ¡°Old fellow, you said that you will come back again tomorrow, but did you ask this lordship to leave?¡± A cold voice suddenly resounded. Old Demon of Mount Yin who was about to swagger off looked up. At an unknown time, on the enclosing wall, a youth was standing. He was blocking his way out. Ye Chuan finally made a move, personally cutting off the retreat path of this old evil spirit. The eyes of old man, who was dejected in his heart thinking what they should do tomorrow, suddenly shone and was excited in his heart.Support my translation through patreon and get early access to chapters. Here is the link. Chapter 281: Thousand Hands Vine Chapter 281: Thousand Hands Vine The Old Demon of Mount Yin didn¡¯t utter a word, he just turned around and ran away from the other side harnessing the ill wind. Little Long¡¯er who had transformed into demonic dragon had made him eat the hidden loss. His spine had nearly snapped and he was still feeling pain. But Ye Chuan who was standing on the wall gave him even more dangerous feeling compared to Little Long¡¯er. Even if he was not injured, he might not necessarily be his opponent. Old Demon of Mount Yin killed people like flies, moreover, was extremely crafty. Realizing something was amiss, he immediately fled. Tonight, he was clearly ambushed, also he didn¡¯t know from where Mu Clan had invited these two great experts, but he knew that he would only suffer losses if he fought recklessly. On the contrary, after fleeing far away, he could still come back at another time. These two experts will definitely not stay in this Mu Clan village all the time. Moreover, this surrounding was his territory, he could come and go as he pleased. ¡°Stop him, don¡¯t let me run away!¡± The old man Old Mu rushed forward, then raising the writing pen in his hand, he wrote strokes in the air and a ferocious tiger pounced onto Old Demon of Mount Yin. A huge mace suddenly appeared in the hands of this old evil spirit and he smashed that ferocious tiger, then swept past old man Old Mu. And due to the ill wind, the old man felt cold from his head to toe and in the blink of an eye, as if an ice sculpture, he found it hard to move. Now, he could only look helplessly at this old evil spirit slipping away. Such a good opportunity, if missed then they will never have another chance to get rid of this Old Demon of Mount Yin! The old man wanted to speak but wasn¡¯t able to utter a word. He was very anxious in his heart, burning with impatience. Roar! Little Long¡¯er blocked the path of Old Demon of Mount Yin and directly attacked with his head. This matter happened so suddenly that Old Demon of Mount Yin was caught unprepared but he didn¡¯t dodge in fear that Ye Chuan would catch up to him. The mace in his hand rapidly expanded and instantly changed into a huge log which was at least ten thousand jin. This log ruthlessly knocked the forehead of Little Long¡¯er. Dong, Little Long¡¯er was stopped and the log broke from the point of contact. ¡°What an evil dragon, one day, this lordship will devour your essence blood and vital yang!¡± The old evil spirit screamed and harnessing the ill wind, he hurried hastily ran without counterattacking. Only after jumping over the courtyard¡¯s enclosing wall, he relaxed, then turning around and looking at Old Mu and Mu Shan, he coldly smiled and said: ¡°Old fellow, consider your victory today, but very soon, this lordship will repay you in double and devour your essence blood and vital yang, kakaka¡­¡­¡± The old evil spirit roared with laughter. He was excited being able to rush out of the encirclement. While laughing, he suddenly sensed something was wrong and his laughter ceased abruptly. Eh, where is that youth? Looking all around, the Old Demon of Mount Yin discovered that Ye Chuan who was standing on the wall had disappeared. Even after looking around carefully, he didn¡¯t see him and spreading out his divine sense, he didn¡¯t get any reaction. It appeared as if Ye Chuan had suddenly disappeared into the air, and also resembled as if he was never here in this place. The Old Demon of Mount Yin who had always been running amuck in this surroundings suddenly felt fear. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead and his heart trembled. ¡°Old fellow, are you looking for me?¡± A lazy voice came from behind. The Old Demon of Mount Yin immediately turned around and discovered Ye Chuan was standing outside the enclosing wall at an unknown time, again blocking his path. ¡°Boy, this lordship will fight you to death!¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin was startled and also furious. Harnessing the ill wind, he rushed towards Ye Chuan. In an instant, the wind roared and the temperature of the surrounding 100 meters suddenly dropped sharply. Since he couldn¡¯t run away from this place, the old evil spirit went all out ready to risk his life. He spread open his five fingers of right hand, then slightly bending the fingers, like five sharp hooks, stabbed towards the chest of Ye Chuan, wanting to dig out the heart of the latter. Ye Chuan slightly moved and punched out. This punch didn¡¯t have any profoundness, moreover, it appeared as if there was no strength behind this punch. Seeing this, the eyes of Old Demon of Mount Yin shone and he laughed: ¡°Kakaka, you are actually just a Rank 1 Daoist Master kid, here I thought that you are some kind of peak expert, pei! Brat, give me your life! Tonight, I will first devour your essence blood and vital yang, then wipeout this Mu Clan village, kakaka¡­¡­¡± It was fine when Ye Chuan didn¡¯t make a move, but when he punched, he was revealed. The Old Demon of Mount Yin was able to clearly discern his cultivation base. Even the later stage Daoist Master experts like Old Mu and big fellow Mu Shan could do nothing, what could a trifling Rank 1 Daoist Master do? Absolutely useless, let along blocking the path, his strength was not enough to even self-defend! The Old Demon of Mount Yin roared with laughter as his hope of devouring the vital yang of all the people of Mu Clan rekindled. As for Old Mu and Mu Shan, they despaired, their hands and legs became ice-cold with great disappointment. From the beginning, they had believed that Ye Chuan was a peak expert of Cloud Mist Sect, but to their surprise, his cultivation was much inferior compared to themselves. He was only a bit faster! Among the people, only the complexion of Little Long¡¯er was unchanged. He had full confidence in Ye Chuan. He just rushed over to block up the route of retreat of Old Demon of Mount Yin. The two brothers, one in the front and the other in the back, vaguely trapped Old Demon of Mount Yin. The punch of Ye Chuan and the claw of Old Demon of Mount Yin collided. And when the old evil spirit was still laughing, his claws were broken, then his wrist and arm. This punch of Ye Chuan appeared not up to much, but its power was astonishing. This single punch crushed the left chest of this Old Demon of Mount Yin. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin could no longer smile. He suddenly opened his mouth and issued a sad and shrill blood-curdling scream. And a black smoke curled up from his wound. The injury was heavy, receiving a fatal attack. Ye Chuan slowly spread out his fist and on his palm, there was a yang rune and he firmly pressed it on the old evil spirit. This fist of Ye Chuan was not only as powerful as the ramming of Little Long¡¯er, it still hid a killing move. The entire body of Old Demon of Mount Yin who was caught unprepared trembled. The yang rune on the palm of Ye Chuan appeared exactly the same as the Mu Clan Rune, but its power was three times more powerful. In an instant, as if he was electrocuted, the energy within his body disappeared. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you want to devour my essence blood and vital yang? Old fellow, come, bite wherever you like!¡± Ye Chuan evilly smiled and was calm and unhurried. He appeared as if he was a well-intentioned person, but his hand¡¯s yang rune was continuously pressed against the body of old evil spirit. As for Old Demon of Mount Yin, as if Ye Chuan was pressing a fire against his body, he felt like he was being roasted. That feeling was not very comfortable. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, brat, I will return!¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin screamed and his clothes burst open, then countless tentacles shot out as if he was a thousand hands monster. Ye Chuan was shocked and taking the advantage of this chance, Old Demon of Mount Yin harnessed the ill wind and ran away. And after running one kilometer away, sad, shill cries still came from far. This punch of Ye Chuan had truly injured his bones, he had lost his strength of at least 100 years. ¡°Heavens, what evil spirit was that?¡± The scalp of Ye Chuan was still tingling. Thinking about it, he had never seen this kind of evil spirit even in his previous life. ¡°That is a vine yao that had lived for more than 100,000 years. In such a long time, it sucked the energy of the sun and moon, slowly transforming into a humanoid creature and did evil all around. People call it Thousand Hands Vine and also Thousand Hands Monster. Going straight to the east, 800 li away, there is a Mount Yin covered with vines. It is also called Mount Five Fingers or Five Fingers Mount Yin. That is its lair.¡± Old Mu walked over and worriedly said. Although they had driven away the Old Demon of Mount Yin for today, as long as it was still alive, it would come back one day. Everyone was worried in their heart and were unable to be happy. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, chase!¡± Ye Chuan put fort his strength on his tiptoe, then quickly chased after Old Demon of Mount Yin and Little Long¡¯er closely followed him. One man and one dragon, they instantly disappeared without a trace. Big Fellow Mu Shan wanted to chase after them, but he had no way. And just when he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly felt that he had stepped onto something strange. He squatted down and picked up a yang rune. It was precisely the yang rune used by Ye Chuan that severely injured Old Demon of Mount Yin. At first glance, he felt something was wrong, there seemed to be several runes more compared to the yang rune refined by his father. But he didn¡¯t have the time to observe it carefully, he hurriedly put it away, then under the lead of his father Old Mu, he hurriedly set out towards the east along with numerous soldiers of the clan. Chapter 283: Are you okay? Chapter 283: Are you okay? The sky gradually got brighter. The situation of Five Fingered Mount Yin became more and more serious. Trees and vines withered all over the place, and gradually, it spread to the middle area of the mountain from the top. Originally verdant and luxuriant mountain changed into a half yellow and half green mountain. Halfway up the mountain was still green but the part above it had changed into a yellow area without any life. Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground without any movement. His eyes were still closed, seemingly, the changes of the mountain had nothing to do with him. Little Long¡¯er however was paying close attention to the changes of the mountain. Seeing the soul-shaking changes, he truly experienced the means of Ye Chuan. When fighting experts, weather and geographical advantages were important. Originally, after Old Demon of Mount Yin returned to his lair, he had both geographical and weather advantage, but in an instant, everything was turned over! Producing clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another, in an instant, the situation was reversed. Both cultivation and wisdom were indispensable. Ye Chuan who had just broken through to Rank 1 Daoist Master realm gradually showed his brilliance! The Old Demon of Mount Yin who was hiding in the mountain also became silent. That arrogant laughter completely disappeared. He could no longer be excited and also didn¡¯t take the initiative to provoke. The might of Yang Severing Water was much fiercer than he had imagined. After the vines on the ground were corroded and withered, even the roots inside the cave and underground were not spared. Old Demon of Mount Yin no longer provoked but he also didn¡¯t appear. Both sides were silent and this situation was in a stalemate, waiting for each other to make a move. Ye Chuan was quietly cultivating on the ground. After breaking through Daoist Master realm and achieving half dragon state, now, he was carefully sensing the changes of his body, silently waiting for an opportunity. Old Demon of Mount Yin was also waiting for the appearance of a chance. Although he knew that there was only a tiny hope, it was still better than rushing out without careful consideration. After suffering heavy damages in succession, he didn¡¯t dare to face Ye Chuan directly again. Only God knows whether Ye Chuan still had that kind of powerful yang rune or not. Moreover, there was Little Long¡¯er who had transformed into a dragon beside him. One collision from that little dragon would break his bones. Old Demon of Mount Yin who had suffered heavy injuries was unwilling to fight head-on and he also didn¡¯t want to abandon Five Fingered Mount Yin, so he could only hole up like this. This lair, he had been secretly taking care for more than 100,000 years. It was not easy to achieve current appearance, how could he be willing to abandon it? Time quickly passed. Now it was already noon. Noon, it was the time when the sunlight was most powerful. Under this sunlight, Yang Severing Waster not only didn¡¯t evaporated, on the contrary, its power doubled. The trees and vines below the halfway point also began to wither quickly. Looking from far away, this mountain appeared as if a yellow wave from the top of the mountain wanted to engulf the entire Five Fingered Mount Yin. If this continues like this, then, before dark, Five Fingered Mount Yin will be devoid of any life. Old Demon of Mount Yin who had lived for more than 100,000 years will die along with everything on this mountain. A cold ill wind suddenly blew out from the mountain. Old Demon of Mount Yin who had been holing up finally rushed out harnessing the ill wind. Then, looking at Ye Chuan, he gnashed his teeth and said, ¡°Brat, you are truly sinister and despicable. You are too ruthless! If you have the ability, then come, fight with this lordship.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin was frightened and also furious. He was so angry that he was depressed in his heart. He had gone to Mu Clan village to suck vital yang and this was already not the first time he had done so. Every time, everything would go smoothly and he would return with a good result as Old Mu and Mu Shan could do nothing to him. But who would have thought that that father and son would invite these two experts from who knows where to deal with him this time. The cultivation of Ye Chuan appeared low, but he made him feel uncomfortable! ¡°Not sinister and not despicable, then how should great matters be done?¡± Ye Chuan opened his eyes, and looking at the furious Old Demon of Mount Yin, he evilly smiled and leisurely said, ¡°Previously, I wanted to be a very honest and heroic person, but later, I discover that it was very boring to be such person, so I made a decision to become the most sinister and most despicable person. Ai, it¡¯s too pity, that was not that easy. It¡¯s easy to be sinister and despicable once or twice, but to be sinister and despicable throughout the life, it is very difficult.¡± ¡°Pei!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin directly spat and he wanted to vomit blood in his heart. He wanted to use prodding to force Ye Chuan to make a move and lead him into the mountain, and then kill using the familiar terrain. But who would have thought that he would simply not be fooled! He was clearly wearing a robe of the righteous sect, but when he spoke, he stated he wanted to become the most sinister and the most despicable person. Was there anyone in the world who was more cunning and more shameless than him? The Old Demon of Mount Yin hated Ye Chuan so much that his teeth itched. He suddenly felt that he was much more honest and a perfect gentleman compared to Ye Chuan. And this Ye Chuan was the true evil spirit! ¡°Youngster, who exactly are you?¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin was ready to make move, but he forcibly suppressed his impulse to rush out quite a few times. For the first time, he had thought to negotiate with Ye Chuan. In the past, he would never have such thoughts. The village head of Mu Clan village, Old Mu had thought of many ways to negotiate with him many times and he had even promised to pay tribute every year, but all of them were rejected by him. But now, he had no choice but to negotiate. ¡°Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan.¡± Ye Chuan replied straightforwardly without hiding anything. ¡°As it turned out you are the expert of Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin was somewhat surprised. He had long heard that Cloud Mist Sect was getting worse day by day, and all the younger generation disciples were mediocre people. Your mother, who said that? Rumors are rumors, they do people great harm! The Old Demon of Mount Yin cursed secretly in his heart but he appeared very respectful on the surface as he said, ¡°This lordship was confused wondering from where noble son came from, but it turned out to be you are the genius of Cloud Mist Sect. Noble son Ye, in what condition will you stop? Whatever compensation Mu Clan village gave you, this lordship can give you double!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin was rich and arrogant. In past 100,000 years, he had plundered many treasures. Since he was injured and couldn¡¯t defeat Ye Chuan, he wanted to use a huge sum to purchase his freedom. ¡°Good, old yao brother is truly straightforward, compared to those small demons that had just embarked on cultivation, you are very frank. I like that attitude.¡± Ye Chuan applauded and the eyes of the Old Demon of Mount Yin shone as he was able to see the hope. But who would have thought that the tone of Ye Chuan would suddenly change, ¡°But, my conditions are very big, can old yao brother agree?¡± ¡°Agree, whatever the condition noble son has, feel free to speak!¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin suddenly felt this situation was anything but reassuring, but he still toughened his scalp and agreed. At the worst, he would have to part with some treasures, but later, he could look for an opportunity to snatch back twice as much from Ye Chuan. ¡°First of all, I want a woman. She can¡¯t be too beautiful and also can¡¯t be too ugly. She can¡¯t be too old and she also can¡¯t be too young. That short braided little girl of Mu Clan village just happens to be perfect, I want to betroth her to my little brother.¡± Ye Chuan opened his mouth to speak his first condition without any politeness. Then, with the corner of his mouth slightly moving upward, he looked at Old Demon of Mount Yin with a smile yet not a smile and said, ¡°Old yao brother, this condition, it shouldn¡¯t be any problem for you, right?¡± ¡°This¡­¡­¡± The forehead of Old Demon of Mount Yin sweated. He found both nodding and shaking his head inappropriate. If he had known that Ye Chuan would put such condition earlier, then when he had caught that little girl, he wouldn¡¯t have let her go. Now, how should he agree with Ye Chuan? Could it be that he had to go to Mu Clan village again and capture that little girl? ¡°Secondly, I still want a woman. She shouldn¡¯t be beautiful but not enough to be ugly. Her cultivation should be at least Rank 7 Daoist Master realm. It would be best if she has peak Daoist Master cultivation base. Of course, if you can bring Half-Sage realm expert, then I will also not reject. My wife is looking for a housekeeper. If I bring back too beautiful housekeeper, then my wife will definitely be unhappy. My wife is much more powerful than me, if she is unhappy, that will be troublesome.¡± Ye Chuan stated the second condition. The Old Demon of Mount Yin sweated profusely. ¡°Third, I still want a woman. I don¡¯t want men. This time, I want a very beautiful woman, a little bit ugly also won¡¯t do. As for cultivation, anything goes. I want to hide her in an unknown cave, for what, you should know. I don¡¯t want my wife to realize her existence. Old yao brother, these requests are simple enough, right?¡± Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t polite at all. This time, not only Old Demon of Mount Yin sweated profusely, Little Long¡¯er also had sweats on his forehead. He wondered if Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia or Zhu Sijia heard these words of Ye Chuan, would they transform into a fierce tigress from graceful maidens. Chapter 284: Give you a way out Chapter 284: Give you a way out ¡°As for the fourth condition, let me think¡­¡­.¡± Ye Chuan shamelessly wanted to carry on speaking out his fourth condition. The face of Old Demon of Mount Yin turned green and then ghastly pale as he roared: ¡°Enough! Brat, you are playing with me, aren¡¯t you?¡± This negotiation couldn¡¯t be discussed anymore! The Old Demon of Mount Yin gnashed his teeth. He didn¡¯t know whether Ye Chuan was making a fool out of him or he was stupid himself. He didn¡¯t want treasures, only wanted women. The first one was a little girl. This was surprising but wasn¡¯t too ridiculous; the second requirement was a woman who wasn¡¯t too ugly and beautiful, moreover, her cultivation base should be at least Rank 7 Daoist Master realm. Where in the world could he find this kind of woman? A woman who was not too beautiful was easy to find but a woman who was not too beautiful and also not too ugly, it was harder to find compared to finding a beauty, in addition, she needed to be a peak expert. This kind of requirement was simply making things difficult. And the third requirement was almost exactly the opposite, he wanted an absolute beauty. One ugly one beautiful, wasn¡¯t this intentionally making fun of him? Old Demon of Mount Yin was angry and he was unable to listen to the nonsense of Ye Chuan. Only a ghost knows what kind of woman he would ask in his fourth condition. ¡°Smart, you guessed it, I was playing with you.¡± Suddenly, a powerful energy fluctuation erupted within the body of Ye Chuan, and he vaguely appeared to have transformed into a half-dragon state, then taking a step forward, he coldly looked at Old Demon of Mount Yin and said, ¡°Old fellow, I will give you a way out, surrender and join my yao beast legion. This is your only choice, otherwise, you will die along with the destruction of your Five Fingered Mount Yin!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly emitted dense killing intent. Old Demon of Mount Yin who ran wild in former days already didn¡¯t have any courage and now, even a bit of thought to counterattack had already vanished. Finally, the chance to attack had come. Roar! Along with a powerful roar, Little Long¡¯er transformed into a dragon, then flying to the rear of the Old Demon of Mount Yin, he blocked the route of retreat. Even without the instruction of Ye Chuan, he knew what he should do. Now, their tacit understanding had gotten better and better. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t even imagine it!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin ignored Little Long¡¯er behind him and harnessing the ill wind, he rushed towards Ye Chuan. Whoosh, an ill wind blew and his clothing broke apart inch by inch, then it was not simple long vines that emerged out from his body, rather blood sucking barbed vines grew all over his body. As long as they come into contact with the body of an enemy, they would firmly tie them and suck the other party¡¯s essence blood and vital yang. The Old Demon of Mount Yin was truly furious, he directly displayed his insane attack. Suddenly, a sharp blade appeared in the hand of Ye Chuan, then a cold light glimmered all of a sudden. Immediately after that, Old Demon of Mount Yin screamed and retreated hastily. Now, all the vines that approached Ye Chuan were dripping with blood, moreover, he was nearly cut in half by that blade in the hand of Ye Chuan. The same Inch Light Technique, using it after breaking through Daoist Master realm, its might was as different as sky and earth compared to before. After breaking through to Daoist Master realm, Ye Chuan had begun to gradually display the style of his previous life when he concealed the heaven. In his hand, any technique even if it was merely the most ordinary technique, its might would also be astonishing. When using the blade, without even looking, he was able to attack the weakest and most painful places of the Old Demon of Mount Yin, forcing latter to retreat without any choice. ¡°Brat, you can¡¯t be an ordinary disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, who exactly are you?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin had a strong sense of danger and uneasiness. Moreover, his gaze was filled with terror looking at Ye Chuan. In a head-on battle, he knew that the combat power of Ye Chuan was far above Rank 1 Daoist Master as seen on the surface. On the contrary, he was more like a peak expert who had been cultivating in seclusion for thousands of years. He had full control over all those blades, a young disciple would never possess this kind of ability by no means. ¡°I am naturally not an ordinary disciple, I am Big¡­¡­ Senior¡­¡­ Apprentice¡­¡­ Brother¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan rushed up and circulating six Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he suddenly punched. A strong fist wind instantly blew away the dirt and the speed was even more astonishing. Old Demon of Mount Yin didn¡¯t even have time to dodge. Behind, there was an evil dragon glaring like a tiger eyeing its prey, so he couldn¡¯t retreat! Thus, Old Demon of Mount Yin gritted his teeth and those countless vines disappeared all of a sudden and he similarly threw out a punch. ¡°Old Fellow, you are an idiot, look, what is this?¡± The instant the two fists collided, Ye Chuan suddenly smiled coldly, and spread open his right hand. In the palm, Ye Chuan unexpectedly had a yang rune which scared Old Demon of Mount Yin the most. Brat, playing dirty again! Old Demon of Mount Yin was scared and cold sweat appeared all over his body. He hastily changed his move and retreated, but a pain suddenly came from his back. Little Long¡¯er who had transformed into a demonic dragon had ferociously bumped into him. Roar! Ear deafening roaring sound resounded and Little Long¡¯er pursued the retreating enemy. His head ferociously slammed over and over again like a wooden bat into the old evil spirit. Now, this old evil spirit who considered himself the best in the world in former days suddenly felt as if the bones of his entire body were falling apart. At this moment, he saw Ye Chuan with an evil smile was casually throwing the yang rune on the ground, and under the cold wind, it displayed its true form. Where was the yang rune, that was clearly an ordinary red cloth wrapped around a stone. This brat was so sinister! Old Demon of Mount Yin opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood, not because of the attack of Little Long¡¯er, rather he was so angry with Ye Chuan that he vomited blood. Moreover, his body swayed violently and the ferocious attack of Little Long¡¯er from the back directly sent him flying and before he fell to the ground, he vomited another mouthful of blood. The already heavily injured Old Demon of Mount Yin was injured again. But, this old fellow was also cunning. Taking the advantage of this momentum, he harnessed the ill wind and fled, wanting to return to his lair, Five Fingered Mount Yin and hole up again. A dazzling cyan light suddenly streaked across the sky. The heart of Old Demon of Mount Yin trembled and he instinctively stopped all of a sudden, then looking up, he saw 12 ferocious human faced snakes around him. As long as he made the slightest move, they would immediately attack violently. ¡°Old fellow, I already said that you have only one way out, i.e. surrender, since it has already come to this, don¡¯t even think of fleeing.¡± Ye Chuan walked forward and pointing at Five Fingered Mount Yin that had already changed beyond recognition, he said, ¡°Look, even if you are able to break out of this encirclement and rush into your mountain lair, sooner or later, you will die. Kneel down and surrender. Following me is the only choice. Otherwise, when Mu clan warriors arrive here, you will not even have the chance to surrender. Falling into their hands, I am afraid that even if you want to die, it will be hard!¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said to Old Demon of Mount Yin. Now, the whistling sounds of Mu Clan soldiers could be heard coming from the distance. Old Demon of Mount Yin lost color. He clearly knew the consequences of falling into the hands of Mu Clan warriors. Now, he began to hesitate. ¡°Join my yao beast legion and follow me, I will help you resolve your fatal weakness of yang rune.¡± Ye Chuan said. Hearing this simple sentence, the eyes of Old Demon of Mount Yin suddenly shone and he excitedly asked, ¡°Noble son, is that true?¡± ¡°You can not believe, but, do you have a choice?¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said. The current Old Demon of Mount Yin had no qualification to bargain. ¡°Fine, I am willing, I only hope that noble son will keep the promise.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin was dejected but he still squatted down helplessly, then with the glimmer of blood light, Ye Chuan used Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique to tame Old Demon of Mount Yin and placed him inside Cyan Lotus Space. When the old man Old Mu, big fellow Mu Shan and others arrived here, the battle was already over. Chapter 285: Five Fingered Buddhist Cave Chapter 285: Five Fingered Buddhist Cave The old man Old Mu and the big fellow Mu Shan, these two, father and son, were already drenched in sweat, leading several tens of Mu Clan warriors to catch up to Ye Chuan. And seeing Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er were standing at the foot of a mountain without any injury, he was relieved. ¡°Fortunately, we are not late. You two were too fast.¡± The big fellow Mu Shan breathed heavily. All along the road, the entire ground of people had suffered the attack of several yao beasts. Although there was no death, after fighting fiercely, they were rather in sore straits. According to the reason, since their cultivation was very high, their speed was also not slow, but compared to Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er, they had no way to compare. ¡°Well, yes, it¡¯s not too late.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and looking at Little Long¡¯er, he secretly gave a signal. Then the latter understood the meaning of Ye Chuan, so he just smiled without speaking. He understood that Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to disclose the matter of him subduing Old Demon of Mount Yin. ¡°Eh, look, what is happening to the mountain?¡± After taking a deep breath, big fellow Mu Shan suddenly felt something was wrong, and looking up, he discovered the abnormality of Five Fingered Mount Yin. In former days, this place used to be verdant, luxuriant and full of vitality, but now, it was pale yellow. The trees and vines all over the mountain had withered to death. Many vines that had already transformed into spirit vines were hastily dispersing all around the plain and were hiding in the midst of thick clumps of grass. Looking at this Five Fingered Mount Yin that had already changed beyond recognition, Mu Clan warriors were dumbstruck. ¡°This¡­¡­, what is going on here? Also, that old evil spirit, what about that Old Demon of Mount Yin?¡± Mu Shan couldn¡¯t imagine what had happened here. ¡°We used a bit of poison in the mountain to force out that old evil spirit, unfortunately, we were unable to kill it, but, it was driven away.¡± Ye Chuan spoke half truth and half false, and then looking at Old Mu, he said, ¡°However, senior can relax, that old evil spirit suffer severe injury, and he only has half a life. As long as my Cloud Mist Sect doesn¡¯t fall, he will not dare to take half a step into this Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Hereafter, you all are safe. Now, what will you do in the future? Will you continue to stay on the mountain or leave with us? Now, my Cloud Mist Sect is recruiting talents, with your cultivation and strength, after joining the sect, I am sure you will be able to make a name for yourself.¡± After subduing Old Demon of Mount Yin, Ye Chuan turned his sight towards Mu Clan village. He didn¡¯t care about Mu Clan warriors, but big fellow Mu Shan was worth cultivating. And this old man Old Mu was also not to be underestimated. Although he had learned a little bit of Chunqiu Sage¡¯s technique, it could still be a trump card. Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect might attack at any time, so Ye Chuan had begun to take precautions, wantonly enlisting exerts. ¡°Thank you, noble son Ye, but we have been living in the mountain for generations. We are already accustomed to this life, we don¡¯t want to step into the outside world anymore. However, if noble son has any matter in the future, then feel free to tell us, we Mu Clan village will absolutely not decline as long as it is within our power!¡± Old Mu thought for a while and tactfully rejected the invitation of Ye Chuan. In front of his clan, he was a person was virtue and prestige, but in front of Ye Chuan, he was reverent and respectful. Now, thinking back about the circumstance of Ye Chuan coming with Little Long¡¯er to seek temporary lodging, that truly was the matter of you can¡¯t judge a person by appearance. Fortunately, they weren¡¯t rude to these two people and they didn¡¯t shut them out, otherwise, all of them might have already died in the hands of old evil spirit. ¡°Continue to live in the mountain is also fine.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. Seeing the old man was truly unwilling, he also didn¡¯t force them. This time, the main purpose of entering the mountain was to capture yao beasts of the inner part of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, so that he could overlay yao beasts formation in Heaven Concealing Great Formation. Being able to subdue Old Demon of Mount Yin was already sufficient. After a few words of courtesy, Old Mu left along with Mu Clan warriors, returning to their village. Five Fingered Mount Yin was completely destroyed and Old Demon of Mount Yin has been driven away, so they were relieved. When they were coming, everyone was tense, but when returning, they talked and laughed. ¡°Father, why didn¡¯t you agree to noble son Ye and move our clan outside the mountain?¡± ¡°Our ancestors lived here for thousands of years, this is our native land, where will we go leaving this place? Besides, after joining Cloud Mist Sect, we will be under others¡¯ control, how can it be free and unrestrained like in our village? Noble son Ye is pretty good, but he is still young, later, if something happened in the sect, he might not be able to help us.¡± Old Mu had rich experience. He had come to that decision only after thinking over for a long time. ¡°Father, take a look at this.¡± Mu Shan took out that yang rune of Ye Chuan from his bosom. Old Mu took it and look, then his complexion changed greatly, ¡°Eh, the rune above has been changed and its power is greater, does someone else know our Mu Clan rune? Mu Shan, where did you obtain this yang rune?¡± ¡°This is that yang rune used by noble son Ye to inflict heavy damage to Old Demon of Mount Yin back in our village. Father, I have seen it, this is the yang rune we have sent to noble son Ye, merely, he had just made some changes.¡± ¡°Noble son Ye? Could it be¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The voices of Old Mu and big fellow Mu Shan came from far away and their group gradually got further away. Although they had already walked far away, Old Mu was shocked in his heart and he had no choice but to reconsider the proposal of Ye Chuan. Just this method of strengthening yang rune of Ye Chuan was enough to perturb his mind. Of course, perturbed was perturbed, as the ginger gets spicier as it gets older, the old man still continued to return back to Mu Clan village to think over again. Migrating the entire clan out of the mountain and joining the Cloud Mist Sect, this was not a small matter. If this matter was handled properly, then their clan might prosper, but if handled badly, then it might lead to the complete destruction of their clan. Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er stood in the same place watching Mu Clan warriors getting further away. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, are we also returning now?¡± After a long time, after Mu Clan warriors had already disappeared into the horizons, Little Long¡¯er asked Ye Chuan. ¡°No, there is no hurry, wait a bit.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and a cyan light flashed. He summoned Old Demon of Mount Yin and came straight to the point, ¡°Old demon, this Five Fingered Mount Yin, is there something evil sealed here? Or, is there a passage leading to some ancient ominous domain?¡± ¡°Noble son, how did you know?¡± Old evil spirit exclaimed and he slowly told everything he knew as he knew that it was useless to conceal anything from Ye Chuan. As it turned out, he was just a small demon. But, in the spacious ancient ominous domain, he slowly comprehended the mystery of heaven and earth and then transformed into a humanoid form from an ordinary vine demon. And after his cultivation soared, he became Thousand Hands Vine. But, even though his cultivation got higher, he was still a small fry in that ominous domain. Thus, he had to take every step with the greatest of care as he might get annihilated at any time by other powerful evil spirit. And after hiding in fear and trepidation for thousands of years, he took advantage of the time when the restriction of the ominous domain was unstable to escape from that ominous domain. Then forcibly occupied Five Fingered Mount Yin. ¡°Old demon, what is the name of that ancient ominous domain?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°It seemed to be called Five Fingered Buddha Cave. When I was still a small demon, I hear a few powerful evil spirits saying that. Noble son, hereafter, call me Rhodes. If the powerful evil spirits of Five Fingered Buddha Cave heard that I am called Old Demon now, then they will laugh to death. In that place, if one has not lived for several million years, then they are still a small demon.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin was somewhat embarrassed. ¡°Hahaha, good, then, I will call you Rodes. Let¡¯s go, take us to see that passage.¡± Seeing Old Demon of Mount Yin was somewhat embarrassed, Ye Chuan laughed. He truly had never thought that this old evil spirit also had the time when he would be embarrassed. But at the same time, his heart was heavy, old evil spirit Rhodes had lived for more than hundred thousand years, but he was still a small demon, then, in that ancient ominous domain, Five Fingered Buddha Cave, what kind of existence were the true old evil spirit? The complexion of Little Long¡¯er was tense and his heart was also heavy. Chapter 286: Buddhist Sect Descendant Chapter 286: Buddhist Sect Descendant Setting foot on Five Fingered Mountain where all creatures had already withered, Old Demon of Mount Yin had a bitter face as this was the place he had occupied for many years. As for Little Long¡¯er, he was terror-stricken and Ye Chuan was also shocked in secret. This bottle of Yang Severing Water he had accidentally obtained in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, he vaguely remembered that it had fallen from within the body of a demonic dragon and he had taken advantage of a few loose cultivators to successfully snatch it. At that time, he didn¡¯t have time to identify it, and later, when he was sorting out the spoils of war, he knew that this was a bottle of hypertoxic medicinal liquid, but he didn¡¯t know it was so powerful. Unfortunately, he had only one bottle and now it was already gone. At that time, he should have left at least a drop so that he could analyze it to refine similar medicinal liquid. Ye Chuan felt some regret, and suddenly recalling the empty bottle was thrown away by Little Long¡¯er, he hastily instructed the latter to go and bring it back. Little Long¡¯er changed into a demonic dragon and went and came like a wind, bringing back the empty bottle quickly. Ye Chuan took it and saw that there was still a few drops of medicinal liquid stuck on the inner wall of the bottle. It was more than enough to use as the specimen, so he hastily sealed it up carefully. Without a doubt, like that cyan small crystal man, this bottle of Yang Severing Water was also originated from the world beyond the highest heaven. At least, it was refined by Little Long¡¯er¡¯s mother Agusi Teli using the method of the world beyond the highest heaven. He had carefully sealed it up so as to carefully study it some other day, and after comprehending it, he might grasp the alchemy technique of the world beyond the highest heaven, and then refine even more powerful pills. In his previous life, the attainment of Ye Chuan in the field of alchemy was also not ordinary. The alchemy technique of the founder of Cloud Mist Sect, Ghost Hand Medicinal King, was the technique he taught. So the alchemy technique of the world beyond the highest heaven was even more appealing for Ye Chuan compared to a heaven grade cultivation technique. ¡°Noble son Ye, did the medicinal liquid inside that bottle of just now destroyed all life of the mountain?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin asked with fear and doubts in his heart. He couldn¡¯t understand how just a bottle of medicinal liquid was so powerful. ¡°Well, that was Yang Severing Water, it is a bottle of Yang Severing Water of the world beyond the highest heaven I found in a paradise realm. Rhodes, since I carelessly destroyed your Five Fingered Mount Yin, aren¡¯t you cursing me in your heart?¡± Ye Chuan looked at Old Demon of Mount Yin and said with a smile yet not a smile. ¡°No no no, this subordinate doesn¡¯t dare.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin hastily shook his head. Even when he had yet to pledge allegiance to Ye Chuan, he didn¡¯t dare to show a bit of his temper to Ye Chuan, and now, he was already under the control of Ye Chuan, where would he find enough guts to complain? Of course, since the lair he had stayed for many years was destroyed completely in just this fashion, he felt unhappy in his heart. But, just carelessness destroyed Five Fingered Mount Yin, if Ye Chuan was careful, then wouldn¡¯t Ye Chuan have killed him directly? Old Demon of Mount Yin muttered in his heart, but he didn¡¯t dare to complain. Just thinking about the power of this Yang Severing Water, his scalp was tingling. ¡°It¡¯s fine, it doesn¡¯t matter if you curse in your heart, I can treat it as I don¡¯t know.¡± Ye Chuan smiled as if he saw through the thought of Old Demon of Mount Yin. This smile appeared very harmless, but Old Demon of Mount Yin was scared out of wits seeing this smile. Now, he didn¡¯t dare to complain all the more, otherwise, he might not know how he died even after he died. Now, he admired the cultivation and means of Ye Chuan more and more, but he was also unable to understand him more and more. It clearly appeared that he was just Rank 1 Daoist Master, but whoever truly think so was fall into tragedy. Old Demon of Mount Yin led way in the front with reverence and awe. And not long after, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er arrived at a dark cave. At the end of this cave, there was a passage leading to the ancient ominous domain, Five Fingered Buddha Cave. At first glance, this passage resembled a water screen and when the light illuminates it, it would twist and ripple like a water ripple. But, upon closer look, it again resembled a natural crack on the cliff, leading to the darkness of underground or legendary infinite abyss. Moreover, even from one kilometer away, one could sense an indescribable energy fluctuation coming from the passage. This alarmed the heart of people and it even shook the mind and the heart. It appeared as if some kind of ancient evil creature was hidden behind this passage which could rush out at any time. The steps of Ye Chuan suddenly stopped. Now, his complexion was strained and his pupils shrunk, looking at this terrifying passage. At that time, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Little Long¡¯er who were walking in the front and behind respectively sensed a violent aura emitting out from Ye Chuan. This violent aura quickly blotted out the sky and like the eye of the storm, it wanted to give rise to a storm. Old Demon of Mount Yin stopped and wedged between Ye Chuan and terrifying passage, he trembled and his calves softened. As for Little Long¡¯er behind Ye Chuan, he was not in that bad situation, he naturally transformed into a demonic dragon and resisted the invisible pressure. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, what happened?¡± After being silent for a little while, the voice of Little Long¡¯er resounded. The action of Ye Chuan suddenly made him nervous. And that indescribable energy fluctuation coming from that crack gradually made him feel uncomfortable. He felt such a great pressure that he was practically unable to breathe. If this continued, he might collapse. ¡°This is not a passage, this is a time and space rift!¡± Ye Chuan said and looked solemn. With his rich experience of before when he dominated the entire Wilderness World, he was able to recognize what was in front of him. This was not a passage, rather a very rare time and space rift, in other words, this so-called ancient ominous domain, Five Fingered Buddha Cave, basically wasn¡¯t in Wilderness World, rather was in another time and space, or to say, in the world beyond the highest heaven. The dangers of an ominous domain and the world beyond the highest heaven were completely different. They were different in essence. Even if an ominous domain was dangerous and had some evil spirits hidden within there, when all was said and done, it was still within Wilderness World and all the evil spirits were bound under the regulation of Wilderness World. But, the world beyond the highest heaven was different, it was a completely new unfamiliar world, possessing completely new laws and regulations. In Wilderness World, Sage realm cultivators were heaven-defying experts, but in the world beyond the highest heaven, perhaps, there might be people that could crush Sage realm expert to death with a finger! No wonder Old Demon of Mount Yin who had lived over 100,000 years was just a small demon and lived with fear and trepidation every day in that ancient ominous domain. Ye Chuan suddenly understood, and he knew that this Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rhodes, wasn¡¯t exaggerating things. ¡°Noble son, is there a way to leave this ominous domain Five Fingered Buddha Cave from this time and space rift? Or to say, are other evil spirits also able to pass through this time and space rift and come here?¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes also became nervous. He had always believed that this was merely a passage. He didn¡¯t know much about time and space rift. ¡°Rhodes, since you, a small demon, can pass through this time and space and come here, then other evil spirits can definitely come here.¡± Ye Chuan slowly retreated. He didn¡¯t know whether it was an illusion or not, but standing here, he felt that the Buddha Talisman within his body accelerated its rotation and was seething, moreover, he could vaguely feel the call from the other side of this time and space rift, calling him to enter. The longer he stayed here, the more strongly Buddha Talisman seethed, moreover, it expanded and condensed, vaguely seemed to pressure Demonic Dragon Talisman to become the primary talisman within his body and he also showed the hint of transforming into a Buddha. This feeling was very uncomfortable! Even when he was able to conceal the heaven in his previous life, Ye Chuan understood little about ancient Buddhist Sect, and he was always cautious and careful when dealing with unknown things. When he was retreating, he suddenly recalled that cyan robed Seventh Elder he had met beside Evil Dragon Abyss. He wondered how the latter would react standing in front of this time and space rift while secretly guessing the true identity and background of that cyan robed Seventh Elder. Chapter 287: Come from far away to meet Chapter 287: Come from far away to meet After withdrawing quickly, Ye Chuan began to lay out a Dragon Trapping Formation in the cave entrance. The time and space rift at the end of this cave seemed to be fairly stable without any violent fluctuation for the time being, but, it was better to make preparations for contingency. Otherwise, a powerful evil spirit might pass through this time and space rift and arrive here from the ancient ominous domain, Five Fingered Buddha Cave without anybody knowing. At that time, all living beings of Cloud Mist Mountain Range would suffer a disaster and even Cloud Mist Sect would be caught unprepared. But it would be different with this Dragon Trapping Formation. Even if it couldn¡¯t completely block the evil spirit inside the cave, it would at least stall for time and give people a chance to react. ¡°Noble son, I¡¯m afraid such formation is useless.¡± Seeing Ye Chuan was laying out a formation, Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes frowned. As a small demon who had escaped from Five Fingered Buddha Cave, he was clearest about how powerful and terrifying those evil spirits inside were. Even a Half Saint realm expert will not be able to ward them off let alone this trifling formation which was laid out in a hurry. ¡°This is just a simple formation, just being able to sense the movement inside the cave in the future through this formation is enough.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°Noble son, I fear even that will be very difficult.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin shook his head with a bitter smile. He understood the thoughts of Ye Chuan, but it was still not possible. ¡°Some old evil spirits possess rare innate skill since birth. They can hide from the sense of people and detection of the formation. They have many ways to easily pass through formations without anybody knowing.¡± ¡°Rhodes, then do you have a way?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°I have, when the effect of Yang Severing Water disappears, Five Fingered Mount Yin would again sprout vines all over the mountain. That is the best method to survey. And if I am lucky, then I might even be able to trap and suck the essence blood and vital yang of one or two powerful evil spirits, kakaka!¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes laughed and imagining the benefit of sucking the essence blood and vital yang of the powerful evil spirit of Five Fingered Buddha Cave, he was greatly excited. Yang Severing Water had exterminated all trees and vines of Five Fingered Mount Yin but as long as he, Rhodes, didn¡¯t die, they can grow again, it was only the matter of time. And if he had sufficient crystal stones as an energy source, then the required time could be greatly shortened. It wouldn¡¯t take a long time for vines to grow all over the mountain, and at that time, they would become the best detection formation. ¡°Okay, Little Long¡¯er, after returning to Cloud Mist Sect, take Rhodes and look for Zhu Sijia. Whatever is needed, freely allocate and transfer, make vines grow all over this place as soon as possible. Let¡¯s go now!¡± Ye Chuan instructed and left, leading Little Long¡¯er and Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes towards Cloud Mist Sect. Now, quite a few days had already passed, he didn¡¯t know whether any issue had appeared or not in Cloud Mist Sect, so Ye Chuan speeded up. The group of three scaled mountains and ford streams, quickly leaving Five Fingered Mount Yin far behind, but they reached Cloud Mist Sect only at night. Seeing the entrance gate of Cloud Mist Sect was still intact and the disciples were entering and exiting orderly, Ye Chuan secretly relaxed. He knew that Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect had not yet launched an attack. After a brief rest, Ye Chuan took action. With Heaven Concealing Great Formation as the foundation, he overlaid another Yao Beast Formation. Ye Chuan summoned all pangolins, golden eagles and so on yao beasts he had captured this time in the depth of Cloud Mist Mountain Range and dispersed them in accordance with the terrain of Cloud Mist Sect. If he was at his prime of previous life, then Heaven Concealing Great Formation alone was more than enough to crush and kill any adversary, but, he had started from the scratch in this life and now, he had just broken through to Rank 1 Daoist Master realm, so, Ye Chuan had no choice but to be careful and cautious. He wanted to get help from yao beast legion and all kinds of formations, he even instructed Zhu Sijia to urgently refine a batch of special pills as a reserve and handed over remaining drops of Yang Severing Water to her to see if they could refine the same kind of hypertoxic. One night passed very quickly. In the early hours of the morning, a light rain began to fall in Cloud Mist Mountain Range, moistening the earth. Early in the morning, disciples woke up from their quiet cultivation and pushed open their doors and windows, only to discover the sect was covered with greenness, all kinds of vines had appeared everywhere inside the sect.Especially around the entrance gate, the vines were most prosperous. In the span of one night, everything had changed. Some places where not even a blade of grass would grow, all had green sprouts. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes who had returned with Ye Chuan began to display his unique innate skill, turning entire Cloud Mist Sect into another Five Fingered Mount Yin. As long as he was provided with sufficient energy of crystal stone, he could grow all kinds of vines. This was not only the best hidden lookout, it could still stop the invasion of strong enemies. After breeding a large number of vine demons, it was possible to evolve Cloud Mist Sect into a real yao beasts kingdom. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, who was encountered by chance in Mu Clan village and subdued, brought Ye Chuan unexpected pleasant surprise. With the help of these vines and Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, the might of yao beast battle formation that was overlaid in Heaven Concealing Great Formation had doubled without a doubt! For the upcoming large-scale war, Ye Chuan finally had a bit of confidence. Now, he had more than 10% certainty. Another day passed, everybody was still bustling about, Ye Chuan was also the same. He personally went around all places to inspect Heaven Concealing Great Formation and Yao Beast Battle Formation. He inspected every detail. A mountain path, a cliff and even a bamboo shoot, he inspected everything. Now, the war machine of Cloud Mist Sect operated in peak state. At night, after all people had gone off to dreamland, Ye Chuan dragged his exhausted body to Heavenly Dragon Peak. And after entering his room, he fell down to his bed wanting to fall asleep. In this period of time, he was continuously fighting and bustling about, so, he was also dead tired. Thinking about it, since he stepped into Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm to explore, he didn¡¯t seem to have any proper rest. Laying out Heavenly Concealing Great Formation, subduing Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, and again overlying Yao Beasts Battle Formation, all of these tasks not only consumed a large amount of vitality, they furthermore exhausted his mental and physical power too. The room was dark, Ye Chuan pulled a quilt thinking to cover his head to fall asleep. But, his finger suddenly touched a thigh. The skin was smooth, exquisite and elastic. Without a doubt, this was a thigh of a woman, moreover, without any clothes. From the thickness and the length of this thigh, he could discern that all proportion was just right, precisely was a thigh that could accelerate the heartbeat of people. At an unknown time, a practically stark naked woman was lying on the bed of Ye Chuan, waiting a long time in the dark for him. ¡°Jiajia?¡± Ye Chuan subconsciously called out and excitedly pounced on. He hugged this fiery hot charming body and kissed. Originally dead-tired Ye Chuan was excited and he felt as if he was filled with infinite strength all of a sudden. He moved his hands up and down all over the charming body pressed down under him. Very quickly, he felt something was wrong. The charming body in his embrace was curvy, but she was only half a head shorter than him and her height didn¡¯t resemble Zhu Sijia. Moreover, with her personality, she would not strip naked and throw herself into his arm on her own initiative. Although Zhu Sijia appeared bold and vigorous and was energetic in handling affairs, in the matter of men and women, she was shyer and more conservative than anyone else. ¡°Zixia, is that you? Is that truly you¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan suddenly recalled a person, although he found it hard to believe. But, a familiar voice slowly resounded beside his ear. ¡°Humph, go look for your that junior apprentice sister. You remember me only now!¡± After a familiar voice came, he was sure that the person pressed under him was truly Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. At an unknown time, she had traveled a long way and had quietly arrived at Cloud Mist Sect, moreover, she was lying in his bed waiting a long time for him. Pure, noble, aloof and refined Heavenly Maiden, in front of other people, she was out-and-out an icy beauty. She even ignored Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. But, after falling in love, she nevertheless was passionate in front of Ye Chuan, wanting the warm and doughty body of Ye Chuan to melt her. After cultivating Demonic Dragon Sutra together, she was no longer able to cut off that unique taste of pair cultivation. The past few days, returning to Heavenly Yao Sect, she truly felt a day was like a year, so she quietly activated the transmission formation and quietly rush over from Heavenly Yao Sect to meet Ye Chuan. Chapter 288: Cultivating a technique at midnight Chapter 288: Cultivating a technique at midnight After the intense emotion, the two people sat cross-legged opposite to each other with their palms placed on each other¡¯s palms. They were cultivating and comprehending Demonic Dragon Sutra together. Ye Chuan circulated six Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and slowly infused a large amount of energy into the body of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Then, his divine sense seeped into her body and sensed even a subtle change in the body of Heavenly Maiden. In turn, even more majestic energy came through the palms of Heavenly Maiden and changing into a warm current, it flowed into the body of Ye Chuan, restoring the injuries of meridians, exploding blood vessels, refining flesh and blood and tempering bones and muscles. Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia sat facing each other with their hand placed together while comprehending this peak pair cultivation technique of Demonic Dragon Clan. The spring scenery filled this small room and increasingly hot heat wave rippled in the sky. Refining the essence blood of demonic dragon within their body, it gradually displayed its value. After the quite cultivation, the blood within their body heated up, tempering and refining their flesh, blood, bones and muscles. As a result, impurities within their body were discharged outside the body little by little. Now, not only Ye Chuan, even Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia vaguely entered Half Dragon State and she showed the sign of becoming half dragon half human. After that, the body and power of two people merged together. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia exclaimed and her body became soft, once again savoring that want to stop but couldn¡¯t feeling. She slightly trembled and the majestic power within her body gradually rose and strengthened. Ye Chuan was also trembling. Every pore of his body was stretched, seemingly being intoxicated in the world of cultivation. A pair cultivation technique would always progress together, and both sides would have great benefit in cultivation. Demonic Dragon Sutra was also no exception. Still, compared to Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, Ye Chuan had bigger benefit in this pair cultivation. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had already broken through to the pinnacle of Daoist Master realm but he was just Rank 1 Daoist Master, so wholeheartedly investing into a pair cultivation, it was equivalent to a peak expert of peak Daoist Master realm helping him cleanse his tendons and marrows without any reservation, thus, it was difficult to not make any progress in cultivation. From her drenched beautiful hair, a drop of sweat flowed down her fair and smooth neck, and slowly down her spinal column. At an unknown time, the two people had already changed their posture. They no longer hand their palms pressing against each other, rather were stuck close together. Ye Chuan stretched out his arms to hug the charming body of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, and his fingertip wiped that drop of sweat flowing down her back. Slowly, the body temperature of two people got higher and higher. And with her passion raging like fire, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was aroused once again and became confused. When they were in the midst of pair cultivation, they always had strictly adhered to the final line. But this time, whether because they were separated for a few days or gradually comprehended the essence of Demonic Dragon Sutra, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was slowly unable to control her feeling, and Ye Chuan was also in the same state. Only when several melodious sounds of bells came from the distance place, Ye Chuan suddenly woke up, then quietly ending their pair cultivation, he woke up confused Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. ¡°Ye Chuan, you are a bad fellow, it¡¯s like this every time.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia rolled her eyes. After waking up, feeling a bit of shame, she hastily draped her outer garment. Now, she was embarrassed to continue being naked in front of Ye Chuan. Her complexion was flushed and her beautiful face burst into bloom like a peach blossom. She was full of femininity. ¡°As if your clothes were taken off by me. At that time, who was the one that couldn¡¯t wait to tear off my clothing?¡± Ye Chuan smirked while sensing the changes within his body. The four hours of pair cultivation was like he had cultivated in seclusion for ten years. His cultivation had progressed greatly and there was a vague sign of breaking through to Rank 2 Daoist Master realm. Moreover, at an unknown time, there was one new cyclone in his dantian, it seemed that a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman was about to condense. The cultivation speed was truly fast with a pair cultivation technique! Ye Chuan was somewhat excited and also somewhat worried. If one made quick progress in the early stage, then it might be much harder to break through the bottlenecks of the later stage. He reached out his hand and hugged Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, and pulling her slender waist, he said, ¡°Zixia, come, let¡¯s continue to cultivate in pair till dawn?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I will suck you dry if we continue to cultivate in pair?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia smiled slyly. Being together with Ye Chuan, she felt incomparably relaxed and comfortable, laying down the pure, noble, aloof and refined mask of former days. ¡°If you have the ability, then bring it on.¡± Ye Chuan smirked and said with some expectation, ¡°Zixia, you say, if we continue to cultivate like this, then will we transform into two demonic dragons one day? At that time, it will not be like this, rather two dragons entangling while ***.¡± ¡°Who will *** with you?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia pinched on the chest of Ye Chuan and had a sweet smile, then, she sighed and her face sunk. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Did Heavenly Yao Sect learn the matter of Heaven Burning Furnace?¡± Ye Chuan quickly guessed the thoughts of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. He knew that she must have something important for her to come so suddenly. Unable to endure her longing for the pair cultivation was one matter, even more important matter might be to tell him some news. ¡°Yes, Heavenly Yao Sect already knows everything.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia said with a gloomy complexion. Mentioning the proper matter, she calmed down, reverting back to her former appearance. ¡°When Heaven Burning Furnace became a scrap, a wall of Heavenly Yao Hall cracked. This is a big ominous sign. It was impossible to hide the truth from Elder Tianqing and others.¡± ¡°Then, what does Heavenly Yao Sect want to do now?¡± Ye Chuan asked solemnly. ¡°The situation is very bad. Everyone knows that you have burrowed Heaven Burning Furnace from Heavenly Yao Sect. The Heaven Burning Furnace that suppressed the fate of the sect was destroyed in your hands, no one is willing to let this matter drop. More and more experts of the sect have presented a petition to go on a war. They want to send armed forces to suppress you and Cloud Mist Sect. Although Master Heavenly Empress has yet to make declare her position, Elder Tianqing who usually wield the power of the sect had already accepted tacitly. Moreover, there are some adding the fuel to the flames, wanting to take advantage of this occasion to annex Cloud Mist Sect and plunder your inheritance. Ye Chuan, you have to prepare. Unless my master personally intervenes, I will not be able to stop for long.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia truthfully told him with a heavy heart. Although she was Heavenly Maiden of this generation and her position was aloof and refined in Heavenly Yao Sect, she was powerless to suppress this storm even if she wanted. She could only delay for several days at most. ¡°Delay it as long as you can, but the premise is you cannot expose yourself and you also cannot provoke a disaster to yourself. I can do without a sect, but I can¡¯t not have you in my life.¡± Ye Chuan tightly hugged Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. On the surface, he pretended to be relaxed, but in heart, he was feeling a heavy pressure. Although he had already expected an attack from Heavenly Yao Sect, still when he learned that Heavenly Yao Sect wanted to make a big attack, he couldn¡¯t help feeling a great pressure. ¡°I have a sense of propriety, I know what I should do, but Ye Chuan, you must be careful. Tian Ku didn¡¯t die, he also successfully left Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, moreover, he accidentally obtain a treasure which vastly increased his power. Now, he has already broken through to the peak Daoist Master realm. If he and Elder Tainqing attacked together, then it would be best for you to run as far away as possible and never return. All the people in your Cloud Mist Sect together will not be their opponent.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia said another bad news with a heavy heart. Two peak Daoist Master realm experts cooperate to attack? Ye Chuan took a deep breath and before he had time to think, suddenly footstep sounds came from outside. Someone quietly came over. Chapter 289: Devil’s whereabouts Chapter 289: Devil¡¯s whereabouts ¡°Who?¡± Ye Chuan shouted and was somewhat confused. Who would come to find him so late? Could it be an assassin sent by adversary sect? ¡°Idiot, it¡¯s me!¡± A familiar voice came from outside the door as Zhu Sijia pushed open the door and entered. All along the way, she had quietly avoided the patrolling guards, and she finally relaxed only after reaching here. But, just when she was about to look at what Ye Chuan was doing, her complexion suddenly became tense as she felt danger. A shadow directly rushed up to her and she subconsciously put out her palms. Peng! A muffled sound of palms colliding resounded. Zhu Sijia was forced to retreat a few steps and that shadow however jumped over her and rushed out of the door, disappearing in the blink of an eye. At that time, Ye Chuan walked over. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what is going on here?¡± Zhu Sijia was struck dumb with amazement. She had never expected to encounter an expert here. That shadow gave her the feeling that that shadow was far better than herself. And looking at the other party¡¯s build, that shadow seemed to be a woman. Even though she vanished without a trace, she left behind a hint of fragrance in the air. In the dead of night, there was a woman hidden inside this room, moreover, she was a woman with high cultivation, what was going on here? Zhu Sijia intuitively glared at Ye Chuan. She felt that he was definitely hiding something, so she suspiciously looked all around. Sure enough, she discovered several woman hairs on the bed. Moreover, a large area of quilt and mattress was soaked with sweat. The complexion of Zhu Sijia suddenly changed greatly and she angrily glared at Ye Chuan, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation. ¡°Jiajia, if I say a junior apprentice-sister fell in love with me and she secretly entered my room in the middle of the night, then waited for me in the bed after stripping naked, then will you believe me?¡± Ye Chuan said. ¡°Liar, still lying, does sect still has such junior apprentice-sisters? Moreover, which junior apprentice-sister¡¯s cultivation is far higher than mine?¡± Zhu Sijia glared at Ye Chuan and the more she thought, the angrier she became. ¡°Well, that is also the truth. Even if I don¡¯t refuse, there isn¡¯t such remarkable junior apprentice-sister in the sect. Since that uninvited guest isn¡¯t the people of the sect, then she must have come from outside. But, the inside and outside of the sect are already riddled with traps, so at this time, who has the ability to break in?¡± Ye Chuan asked himself with a look of doubt. ¡°Don¡¯t feign ignorance. Ye Chuan, it would be better to explain everything from the beginning!¡± Zhu Sijia was unwilling to forgive. ¡°Fine, Jiajia, then I will speak honestly. As a matter of fact, that was a woman, a powerful female devil. She recognized and took a fancy upon this cyan small crystal man that could link up with the world beyond the highest heaven I accidentally found in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. And like the soul of a deceased has not yet dispersed, she was hopelessly muddled. This time, I also don¡¯t know how she burst in in the dead of the night, taking advantage of the time when I was sleeping, she wanted to kill me. Jiajia, fortunately, you were not too late, otherwise, you might not be able to see me anymore.¡± Ye Chuan told. He also didn¡¯t want to tell a lie and even didn¡¯t want to hurt Zhu Sijia, but some matters were beyond his control. It was inappropriate to tell the truth at this moment. ¡°Is that so? Fighting 300 rounds with you in the bed, did she nearly crushed you to death?¡± Zhu Sijia sneered as she didn¡¯t believe the nonsense of Ye Chuan. In this kind of aspect, the intuition of women was especially sharp. It was simply impossible to easily muddle through it. At that moment, heavy and messy footsteps suddenly resounded in the dark and a group of people hurriedly rushed over. Not good, was Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia discovered? Ye Chuan was startled in his heart and his complexion sunk. Now, he didn¡¯t have time to explain to Zhu Sijia. He hastily thought about what he should do if Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was discovered and was not able to stall her sect. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, there is a bad news, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazi¡¯s shout resounded as he hastily led a group of guard towards Ye Chuan. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, bad news, we discovered several corpses of guards in the vicinity of the foot of the mountain. A powerful expert has sneaked in and he is wandering around the sect.¡± The complexion of the fatty was tense and he was a state of alarm. The guards guarding the sect¡¯s entrance were murdered, this was a strong signal of either Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect about to make a big attack. Now, they might have dispatched some experts to probe the situation. ¡°When did that happen?¡± Ye Chuan asked in a low voice. ¡°Just a moment ago, the corpses have yet to be stiff. Elder Yang Tian Kuang has already led people to chase, and I was rather worried¡­¡­¡± Fatty replied. Although he didn¡¯t finish speaking, his meaning was very clear. The uninvited guest who had sneaked in secretly tonight was not ordinary.Although Yang Tian Kuang was already promoted to Outer Elder and he had already made a breakthrough in his cultivation, he after all was still a Xiushi realm expert and there was no Daoist Master realm expert in his group. If he was unable to catch up, then that was fine, but if he seriously catch up, then that might bode ill rather than well. ¡°Jiajia, you are staying back to take command, pass down the order, no one is allowed to enter and exit the sect without my permission!¡± Ye Chuan rushed out by himself as he roared. Then, Little Long¡¯er who was staying in the vicinity also issued a dragon roar in response, and then transforming into a demonic dragon, he rushed out. One man and one dragon instantly disappeared without a trace. The news brought by fatty Zhao Dazhi was too shocking. He must investigate to be clear. And the timing of this news was also perfect, Ye Chuan was able to get away, otherwise, he truly didn¡¯t know how he should explain Zhu Sijia. ¡°Humph, running away so quickly, we will settle the account next time!¡± Zhu Sijia stamped her legs and was so angry that her teeth itched. Fatty Zhao Dazhi was confused as he didn¡¯t know what was going on, but just one glare from Zhu Sijia and he hastily smiled not daring to ask anything. ¡°Why are you smiling, damned fatty, every time, you always have the bad news!¡± Zhu Sijia raised her hand and knocked the head of the fatty, then left angrily. Angry was angry, but she still knew the importance of this matter. She hastily led people to strengthen the defensive line so as to prepare for the attack of Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect. Behind, fatty Zhao Dazhi was confused and also dejected as he wailed mournfully for his bad luck in his heart. Ye Chuan rode the back of Little Long¡¯er and directly rushed out of the sect. Then sensing for a while, one human and one dragon followed the aura of Yang Tian Kuang towards the east. Beside a remote brook, Yang Tian Kuang half lied on the ice-cold ground, leaning against a boulder. His body was covered with blood and there were corpses of several disciples of Cloud Mist Sect lying beside him. The remaining two guards were also covered in blood. After discovering the trace of the uninvited guest, he quickly responded by letting fatty go to report to Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan while personally leading seven guards to chase. He was very lucky, relying on his rich experience, he quickly caught up to the uninvited guest, but unfortunately, although the other party was alone, his cultivation surpassed all of them. After a fierce battle, the uninvited guest was heavily injured but the group of Yang Tian Kuang also suffered heavy casualties. Roar! A powerful dragon roar suddenly resounded and Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er descended from the sky. ¡°You two, immediately escort Elder Yang back to the sect!¡± After a simple examination and stopping the bleeding of Yang Tian Kuang, Ye Chuan instructed with a low voice, then along with Little Long¡¯er, he continued to go east, personally chasing the fellow who had sneaked into Cloud Mist Sect and killed the disciples. Beside the brook, there were footprints of that fellow and there was also his aura in the air. Today, this fellow will not be able to run away! Chapter 290: Have no way out Chapter 290: Have no way out In the vicinity of a pond, Ye Chuan finally caught up to the uninvited guest. This was a black-robed man with a mask covering his face. He had a sharp dagger in his hand and he was covered with blood. There was his own blood and also the blood of Yang Tain Kuang and other disciples. He couldn¡¯t be wrong, this fellow was the person who had sneaked in and killed in the vicinity of the sect tonight. The masked black-robed man suddenly turned around and seeing a person and a dragon had caught up to him, he trembled. He was trembling in fear! In front of him, there was a 100 meters high waterfall and a large amount of water fell from the heaven. And the lower part of this waterfall had smooth rocks with mosses grown all over. Even apes and monkeys wouldn¡¯t be able to climb up this waterfall. This ferocious masked black-robed man had run to the dead end when fleeing in confusion. Now, he had nowhere to go. The aura of Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er was incomparably stronger than Yang Tian Kuang and his group. This uninvited guest felt great danger from them and he had no courage to rush over to break out of an encirclement. There was no path in the front and there were formidable enemies behind him, so he couldn¡¯t help trembling in fear. ¡°Who are you, who sent you? Ye Chuan sat still on the back of Little Ling¡¯er while coldly looking at this masked black-robed man. He had restrained his energy fluctuation and also the aura of Heaven Swallowing Talismans, as a result, he appeared just like an average person who didn¡¯t cultivate, but the more he was like this, the more restless this masked black-robed man felt. He felt that Ye Chuan was even more dangerous than that overbearing little dragon below him. The masked black-robed man was silent. He didn¡¯t utter a single word, he just looked all around again and again, earnestly hoping to find a way to flee. ¡°Still not speaking? Soon, you will taste 108 types of torture that would make you feel death is better than life. Let¡¯s see whether you will talk or not after that!¡± Ye Chuan jumped to the front of the masked black-robed man. As a former Heaven Concealing Great Sage, there was no torture method he had never seen. Just using a light move, all sturdy fellows would change into a weak little lamb and answers whatever was asked. ¡°Kill!¡± The masked black-robed man finally opened his mouth. Since he had no path to retreat, he simply made a reckless move, wanting to fight desperately against Ye Chuan. The sharp dagger brushed pass the fist of Ye Chuan and stabbed towards his chest. Ye Chuan however suddenly changed his move. He opened his palm and grabbed the wrist of masked black-robed man, then he pushed. Next, the masked black-robed man was pulled, as a result, the masked black-robed man stood unstably. Kacha, Ye Chuan broke his wrist and the sharp dagger fell to the ground, then his elbow parts, shoulders, knees¡­¡­, in the blink of an eye, the joints of his both hands and both legs were broken by Ye Chuan, and he weakly fell to the ground unable to move anymore. The extremely vicious masked black-robed man wasn¡¯t able to withstand even a single move from Ye Chuan. His cultivation was also inferior, only was peak Xiushi realm, moreover, he was seriously injured by Yang Tian Kuang and others, thus, he was not even able to stop a move of Ye Chuan. ¡°Final chance, speak, who sent you?¡± Ye Chuan asked and with cold killing intent rising, he added, ¡°Be tactful, don¡¯t force me to torture you.¡± ¡°Hahaha, don¡¯t imagine it¡¯s possible, someone¡­¡­, someone will take revenge for me, hahaha¡­¡­¡± The masked black-robed man laughed and ferociously glared at Ye Chuan as a black blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. After that, his head fell to the ground and died. Ye Chuan hastily stepped forward, unfortunately, he was already too late. ¡°There was a poisonous tooth inside his mouth, he is beyond saving. So ferocious, who exactly was he?¡± Little Long¡¯er returned back to his human form, then walking over, he opened the mouth of this masked black-robed man and looked. The result shocked him. After that, he lifted the black mask and an unfamiliar face was revealed. ¡°I got it, it¡¯s Dark Underworld Emissary, this fellow still lingers here. I didn¡¯t go to the capital to wreck Long Clan, but you still didn¡¯t let go of Cloud Mist Mountain Range and still want to make trouble for our Cloud Mist Sect by engaging in conspiratorial activities. As expected, on the eve of storm, all ghosts and snakes are coming out.¡± Ye Chuan coldly said. He quickly understood the identity of that masked black-robed man, clearly was a minion sent by that Dark Underworld Emissary. With poison teeth within their mouth, if they couldn¡¯t escape, then commit suicide by breaking the poison teeth by biting. This was the style of that Dark Underworld Emissary! ¡°Then, what do we do next?¡± Little Long¡¯er asked. Ye Chuan became silent, with Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect might attack at any time, Cloud Mist Sect was in the midst of the calm before the storm. At that time, when Cloud Mist Sect was most unstable, Dark Underworld Emissary would definitely take advantage of the void and sneak in. Looking at the acting style of the latter, one could see that it was unlikely for him to directly attack, and he also didn¡¯t have such power. He would rather resort to some schemes. If I was in the place of Dark Underworld Emissary, then what do I do at this moment? What can I do to control the Cloud Mist Sect with the minimal cost and unify the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range? Ye Chuan indistinctly realized something, but he was unable to speak for certain for the time being. Crash! A loud sound of something falling into the water came, seemingly a piece of wood or something fell from the waterfall into the pond not far away. Little Long¡¯er looked over and cried out in alarm, ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, look, what is that? Is that a person?¡± Ye Chuan who was lost in thought was startled awake and he suddenly jumped over. Sure enough, a person had fallen down from the waterfall, moreover, was a woman. Now, just pitch-black long hair was floating on the surface of the water, the body however was about to roll into the water by the vortex of this pond. Ye Chuan suddenly accelerated, he was faster than Little Long¡¯er. He treaded on the wave and pulled up that white-robed woman who was about to sink. He carried her under his arm and brought her ashore, then placed this white-robed woman on the ground. And when he was about to wake her up, Ye Chuan was stunned. This white-robed woman was graceful and very thin. She had an oval face with big eyes. She appeared delicate and charming just like an endearing little bird. She was none other than Tuoba Xiaoniao whom he didn¡¯t have any contact after separating in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. ¡°Xiaoniao, Xiaoniao, how are you?¡± Ye Chuan reacted quickly and help her regain her consciousness. After waking up, seeing the figure of Ye Chuan, Tuoba Xiaoniao didn¡¯t say anything, just cried. She covered her face with her hands, her long hair was in a mess and her slender legs and the sole of her legs were dripping with blood as if she walked barefoot all the way from Black Cauldron Sect. ¡°It¡¯s fine, Xiaonaio, everything is fine. First, return with me to Cloud Mist Sect, and then if you have some matter, then we will resolve it together.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t ask anything. He just bent over and carried Tuoba Xiaoniao back to Cloud Mist Sect. Although Tuoba Xiaoniao was delicate and tender endearing little bird, she was kind-hearted and was soft outside but hard inside. She was very strong, even if she had no way out, she wouldn¡¯t jump off the cliff to commit suicide. It was very likely that something big must have happened in Black Cauldron Sect. Ye Chuan was somewhat anxious in his heart. At this time, no matter what happened to Black Cauldron Sect or Five Style Sect, there was a big effect on Cloud Mist Sect of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. But seeing this appearance of Tuoba Xiaoniao, even though he was anxious, he didn¡¯t ask. He decided to return to Cloud Mist Sect first. His speed was very fast, and not long after, he reached the entrance of Cloud Mist Sect. After the incident, Zhu Sijia had led a group of elites and personally oversaw the defense of the sect. She had been continuously feeling restless and was worried that Ye Chuan might have encountered some dangers. Only after seeing the figure of Ye Chuan, she relaxed, but when he got closer, she saw a woman on his back and her happiness quickly disappeared. This brat, just a moment ago, she didn¡¯t know what kind of woman was he hiding inside his bedroom. And in the blink of an eye, he again abducted and brought back another woman from outside! Zhu Sijia was so angry that she gritted her teeth and her heart was filled with the impulse of flipping out. Fatty Zhao Dazhi who was standing beside her was secretly screaming in his heart, and he hastily ran far away from her so as to avoid being out of luck again. Chapter 291: Evil plot Chapter 291: Evil plot Ye Chuan quickly rushed into the sect carrying Tuoba Xiaoniao on his back and before Zhu Sijia could angrily shout, he spoke first, ¡°Jiajia, something happened, Xiaoniao jumped off the cliff to commit suicide. Help her bandage her wounds.¡± Ye Chuan handed Tuoba Xiaoniao to Zhu Sjijia and secretly gave a hint with his eyes. Zhu Sjijia being extremely intelligent immediately understood what was going on. She called several female disciples and hurriedly took Tuoba Xiaoniao away. Treating wound and changing the clothing of Tuoba Xiaoniao was one side, even more important matter was, it was necessary to understand what was going on with Tuoba Xiaoniao. Strom clouds were approaching, at this moment, they shouldn¡¯t make any mistake! Zhu Sijia¡¯s nature was shrewish, but she knew what was more important and understood that this was not the time to settle an account with Ye Chuan. ¡°Fatty, immediately send people to look into the movements of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect. And immediately make a report if there is any situation.¡± Ye Chuan gave orders and then quickly left with Long Ling¡¯er. He didn¡¯t return to Heavenly Dragon Peak to meditate, rather went straight to Cloud Mist Hall, waiting for the news from Zhu Sijia¡¯s side. Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t disappoint him. It didn¡¯t take long for her to understand the ins and outs of the matter and she came to Cloud Mist Hall looking for Ye Chuan. She clearly understood the matter but her complexion was not very good. Her face was cloudy. ¡°What, Jiajia, was Xiaoniao unwilling to speak?¡± Seeing Zhu Sijia had come with a gloomy face, Ye Chuan asked. ¡°She spoke.¡± Zhu Sijia answered coldly seemingly she didn¡¯t want to speak anymore. ¡°Is it inconvenient to let me know? That¡¯s also fine, I will also not ask, Little Long¡¯er, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Chuan retreated in order to advance and pretended that he wanted to leave. ¡°Tuoba Xiaoniao said that she was driven out of the sect by her father Tuoba Xiong.¡± Zhu Sijia said with great difficulty. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Humph, isn¡¯t that all because of you!¡± Zhu Sijia snorted and said, ¡°Recently, because of the exploration of paradise realm, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect suffered a heavy loss, especially Black Cauldron Sect, they lost 70% of their elites that had entered this paradise realm, so the sect is in turmoil and the temperament of Tuoba Xiong has gotten even more violent. In order to rope in experts, he wanted to betroth his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao to his personal disciple, but Tuoba Xiaoniao was unwilling to marry, she said that she will not marry anyone else but you. The result, Tuoba Xiong expelled her out in rage and said that since she loved you, she can go over to marry you. Since then, Tuoba Xiaoniao wandered about with no home. After she was expelled, she had been roaming about in the mountains. And even though she arrived in the vicinity of our Cloud Mist Sect, she had no face to look for you, so under the grievance, she simply jumped off the cliff wanting to die.¡± Zhu Sijia had yet to learn the identity of that woman of before and here Tuoba Xiaoniao who was delicate and charming like an endearing little bird came. Zhu Sijia was so angry that she felt stifled but anger was anger, she still needed to handle the matters. ¡°Oh, so that was the case.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm had layer upon layer of restrictions, after entering, only a very few lucky people return back alive. Myriad Beast Forest, Chaotian Hall, Demonic Dragon Path¡­¡­, which one wasn¡¯t dangerous? Even the loss of Cloud Mist Sect wasn¡¯t small, one could well imagine the losses of both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect whose whole nest had come out. For violent and overbearing Sect Master Tuoba Xiong to fly into a rage facing domestic trouble and foreign invasion was naturally reasonable! ¡°Humph, Ye Chuan, this time, Tuoba Xiong truly gave his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao to you, aren¡¯t you satisfied now?¡± Zhu Sijia was angry and also sad. When Ye Chuan disappeared in that paradise realm for three months, she was so downhearted that a day seemed like a year, and she finally cut off her hair to enter nunhood and lived in solitary in the mountain, accompanying the cenotaph of Ye Chuan day and night while praying for a miracle to happen. Finally, miracle truly happened, Ye Chuan unexpectedly came out alive from the paradise realm. But now, he was about to get married, but the bride was not herself. On the surface, Zhu Sijia was strong and she always put the general interest first, but no one knew how sad she was in her heart. ¡°Misunderstanding, this entire matter was a farce from start to finish, Jiajia, did you take that seriously?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head with a bitter smile, then taking a few steps forward, he held Zhu Sijia into his bosom. ¡°Truly?¡± The spirit of Zhu Sijia shook. ¡°Truly, even if what Tuoba Xiaoniao said is the truth, I will not marry in this life and I have never said that she cannot marry, did I?¡± Ye Chuan paused and his tone changed, ¡°Moreover, Jiajia, don¡¯t you notice something is wrong with this matter? Even if Tuoba Xiong got violent, he just has one daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao, how can he expel her from the sect and let her wander about in the mountain by herself? Furthermore, it has already been more than three months since the exploration of the paradise realm, but why didn¡¯t this matter arise earlier but happened this late at this critical juncture, don¡¯t you feel this is too coincident?¡± ¡°Ye Chuan, you mean to say Tuoba Xiaoniao is lying?¡± The complexion of Zhu Sijia sunk. Although she was angry and also sad, looking at the appearance of Tuoba Xiaoniao, she couldn¡¯t bear to drive her out. She was quite sympathetic towards her. But, if everything was false, if Tuoba Xiaoniao was truly telling a lie, then don¡¯t blame her for being too cruel. ¡°No, Tuoba Xiaoniao didn¡¯t lie, the one who lied is her father Tuoba Xiong!¡± Ye Chuan returned to the platform of Cloud Mist Hall and lowered his voice after sitting straight, ¡°There must be a plot behind this situation. After losing a large number of trusted aides and elites in paradise realm, the strength of three great sects should have already reversed. Because our Cloud Mist Sect preserved the greater part of the strength, now our sect is above both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect in one fell swoop. If this goes on like this, then who can stop our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s revival and rise. Moreover, squeezing out and annexing the other two sects would also be the matter of time. Tuoba Xiong doesn¡¯t want to see us being strong, so he must act now.¡± Ye Chuan who concealed the heaven in his previous life was far-sighted. From this small matter of the sudden arrival of Tuoba Xiaoniao to look for shelter, he deduced many things. Zhu Sijia became nervous and taking a deep breath, she said: ¡°Ye Chuan, you mean to say that Tuoba Xiong wants to launch a surprise attack on us Cloud Mist Sect and rob us before the arrival of Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect? Does he want to catch us unprepared?¡± Cloud Mist Sect had been making preparation for war in this period of time. Heaven Concealing Great Formation and Yao Beast War Formation had already been laid, but there were many places that needed to be perfected, they had yet to be fully prepared. The subordinates of Dark Underworld Emissary were already in the vicinity of the sect, spying on the circumstance while killing people. This clearly showed that the defense of Cloud Mist Sect should be strengthened and improved. At this time, when they were using the limited energy to guard against Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect, if Black Cauldron Sect or Five Style Sect of Cloud Mist Mountain Range suddenly launched a surprise attack, then the consequence will be deadly. ¡°That is not necessarily true, but we still need to take precautions. Tuoba Xiong definitely has a plot, but according to my understanding, this violent bear has always been overbearing and arrogant, he is not good at scheming in the dark. If he suddenly becomes crafty, then there might be someone behind the scenes instigating and inciting him. Jiajia, I have already sent fatty to go and take a look at the circumstance of both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, but fatty lacks experience and also isn¡¯t daring enough, so you are personally responsible for this matter. How is the situation, immediately report to me!¡± Ye Chuan instructed in a low voice and then closed his eyes on the spot to cultivate. Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect hadn¡¯t arrived yet, but Black Cauldron Sect was already producing trouble first. This unexpectedly made the situation even more complicated. Ye Chuan needed to cultivate and also needed to calm down to calmly weigh the movement of the opponents. Zhu Sijia and Little Long¡¯er took a quick glance at Ye Chuan and then left quietly, busying themselves on their own task. Chapter 292: Who will become the overlord? Chapter 292: Who will become the overlord? Worldly spiritual qi from all over the direction continuously poured over, gathering above the Medicinal Spirit Formation of Cloud Mist Hall, then flooded downwards and pour into the body of Ye Chuan. The structure of Cloud Mist Hall was mysterious. It was huge and extensive, moreover had walls, eaves, glazed tiles and medicinal herbs roof combined together in a picturesque disorder, forming a unique Medicinal Spirit Formation. Sitting inside the hall, the spirit would become calm, and cultivating here would get twice the result with half the effort. This place could be regarded as the oldest palace of Cloud Mist Sect. At that year, Ghost Hand Medicinal King had built this hall under the direction of Ye Chuan. In a flash, millions of years had passed, Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s founder Ghost Hand Medicinal King had long disappeared from this world, but Ye Chuan who used to be above Ghost Hand Medicinal King in status in those years had reappeared again, once again sitting on the tiger leathered big chair at the end of this hall. The fate played with people and the destiny of people is so marvelous! Ye Chuan suddenly had an emotional stirring and he sighed softly, then opening the door of his heart, he bathed in boundless pure worldly spiritual qi to his heart¡¯s content. His cultivation gradually progressed, showing the clear sign of breaking through to Rank 2 Daoist Master realm. After experiencing life and death calamity in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, Ye Chuan began to accelerate his cultivation speed, aspiring to reach higher realm. But, compared to reaching higher ream, he was more concerned about his physical transformation and even more cared about whether he could condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman or not. One Heaven Swallowing Talisman raised his strength by 18,000 jin, and its benefit was much higher than advancing a realm in cultivation, moreover, condensing more Heaven Swallowing Talismans was the Way of the King. Unfortunately, even though the cyclone of his dantian was becoming more and more solid, it would take a long time before it transformed into a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. His cultivation was at the bottleneck, and now, the only shortcoming was very probably a lucky chance. If he got rid of all worldly routine and continuously cultivate Demonic Dragon Sutra in pair with Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, then wouldn¡¯t he be able to forcibly breakthrough? Ye Chuan suddenly missed Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who had left quietly. Now, the defensive lines of Cloud Mist Sect were becoming increasingly firmer. This was a good thing but there was also a bad side. Like this, it was even harder to quietly meet Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia because she couldn¡¯t come in quietly. But, if Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia couldn¡¯t come, then couldn¡¯t he just go to Heavenly Yao Sect? Ye Chuan suddenly had a bold thought, but he shook his head with a bitter smile, discarding this unrealistic thought. In this critical juncture, quietly sneaking into Heavenly Yao Sect would absolutely be beyond the expectation of all and this can surely make Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia excited to the extreme. However, if the expert of Heavenly Yao Sect discovered him and they learn that he had gone to meet Heavenly Maiden who was pure, noble, aloof and refined in their eyes, then the consequences would be very serious. Beaten to death would be the light consequence. Ye Chuan shook his head and cut off his distracting thoughts, then become immerse in cultivation. If he didn¡¯t miscalculate, then Black Cauldron Sect, Tuoba Xiong must have made a move. Spies would return soon to report, at that time, a fierce battle might happen in advance, so he needed to conserve strength and store up his energy. Calculating the matter of faraway never leaving the house, the guess of Ye Chuan was correct. At dusk, before nightfall, fatty Zhao Dazhi hastily pushed open the door and rushed in. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, big news, there is a big matter¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi staggered in and he was out of breath. Behind him, there were several elite disciples and their complexion was also tense. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, speak slowly.¡± Ye Chuan slowly opened his eyes and said. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you really didn¡¯t speak wrongly. Tuoba Xiong, that old man really had bad intentions and also had schemes. On the surface, there was no movement, but in secret, he has gathered a large number of troops, moreover, two hours ago, the whole nest suddenly marched towards the direction of Five Style Sect. He wanted to start with Five Style Sect!¡± Fatty urgently reported an astonishing news. Zhu Sijia rushed over, hearing the news and Tuoba Xiaoniao also came. And hearing fatty Zhao Dazhi saying her father Tuoba Xiong had bad intention, her face became red and also became sad in her heart. ¡°What, set towards Five Style Sect?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly stood up and thinking for a bit, he immediately understood everything. Suddenly expelling Tuoba Xiaoniao from the sect and letting her come to him for shelter, Tuoba Xiong truly had bad intentions. Firstly, it was to lower his guard, then taking the advantage of this diversion, attack Five Style Sect. He wanted to swallow up Five Style Sect who had similarly suffered a heavy loss in the paradise realm; Secondly, he wanted to use Tuoba Xiaoniao to control himself. Even if he saw through his crafty plot, it would be hard for him to attack. He was playing the family affection to stall for time. Good! This move of Tuoba Xiong was very good! After he swallowed up Five Style Sect and consolidate the resources and power of two sects, it would be the time to attack Cloud Mist Sect! The mind of Ye Chuan was moving but his complexion sunk. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what should we do now?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi asked. Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong suddenly set towards Five Style Sect with his entire nest. No matter whether he succeeded or not, this was destined to be the greatest change in Cloud Mist Mountain Range in this thousand years. At this time, should Cloud Mist Sect sit on the mountain top and watch the tigers fight or intervene to stop the atrocity of Tuoba Xiong, shattering his beautiful dream to dominate the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range? ¡°Fatty, what do you think?¡± Ye Chuan asked a question in reply. ¡°I think¡­¡­, it would be best to take no action, in any case, Five Style Sect is also not a good bird. Let them have a dog-eat-dog fight. Besides, just in case, when we dispatch our main force, if Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect suddenly attacked, then what should we do?¡± Fatty said in a low, muffled voice. And hearing him describe the battle between Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect as a dog-eat-dog fight, the face of Tuoba Xiaoniao who was standing not far away become red and she lowered her head without uttering a word. With such a father, she was also helpless. ¡°Jiajia, what about you?¡± Ye Chuan turned towards Zhu Sijia who was half a head taller than fatty. ¡°Tuoba Xiong is overweeningly ambitious, after successfully swallowing up Five Style Sect, it is certain that he will stare at our Cloud Mist Sect, waiting for the opportune moment to go into action. So, we cannot look on unconcerned and left him to grow strong and unruly. But, fatty is also reasonable, Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect are our formidable opponents, we cannot dispatch our main force rashly.¡± Zhu Sijia paused and added with heavy-heart, ¡°So, I suggest that it would be best to notify Five Style Sect before Tuoba Xiong attacks, letting them make preparations, then we can dispatch a group of elites to support them.¡± ¡°Correct, Miss has spoken correctly!¡± After Zhu Sijia spoke, people supported her suggestion in a loud voice. After considering all aspects, this was the best way. The noisy discussion gradually became quiet after a moment, and everyone looked up at Ye Chuan waiting for his order. ¡°Everything fatty and Jiajia said is reasonable, but, all is not the best way. Once Tuoba Xiong truly swallows up Five Style Sect, that would be very troublesome and there will be no end of troubles for the future.¡± Ye Chuan denied the proposal of Zhu Sijia. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, then you mean¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia got nervous as she could vaguely guess the meaning of Ye Chuan. ¡°All-out attack, taking advantage of the time when the entire nest has come out, we will take the initiative to attack his nest, wiping out Black Cauldron Sect!¡± Ye Chuan said. The people standing below turned pale with fright. Although Zhu Sijia had vaguely guessed, hearing Ye Chuan personally saying it still shocked her. At this critical moment, attacking with all strength regardless of danger, if won, then the position of the overlord of Cloud Mist Mountain range would be decided in one fell swoop as after consolidating the resources and power of Black Cauldron Sect, the elimination of Five Style Sect would follow naturally. But if failed or something unexpected happened, then a great calamity will befall on Cloud Mist Sect that might wipe out the entire Cloud Mist Sect! ¡°No, Ye Chuan, you cannot do that¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao hastily stood out and begged. Although she was expelled by her father, when all was said and done, she was still a disciple of Black Cauldron Sect, how could she watch the destruction of Black Cauldron Sect unfeelingly? ¡°No one can stop or counter the surging general trend of events, we must make a move taking advantage of the chance. Now, the general trend of the world is that you must do everything you can to strengthen yourself, otherwise, you will be crushed by others. Why did Cloud Mist Mountain Range become a fat meat in the eyes of others? It¡¯s because the three major sects here fight with each other. As a matter of fact, the idea of your father Tuoba Xiong is good, Cloud Mist Mountain Range should be unified, there should be a strong overlord. Unfortunately, this overlord isn¡¯t Black Cauldron Sect, your Black Cauldron Sect lacks sufficient resources.¡± Ye Chuan looked at haggard and worried Tuoba Xiaoniao who looked even more delicate, but he remained unmoved and added, ¡°Even if I don¡¯t make a move and annihilate your Black Cauldron Sect, with your father¡¯s behavior and strength, foreign power will destroy your Black Cauldron Sect one day. Xiaoniao, believe in me, let me attack and the greater part of your fellow apprentices will survive, moreover, I can leave your father¡¯s life intact. If the army of Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect attacks, I am afraid none will be left alive in your Black Cauldron Sect. Messenger, transmit my order, all Xiushi realm and above elite disciples are to immediately gather!¡± Ye Chuan had made up his mind and he suddenly gave out orders. He wanted to launch thunder like attack and destroy defenseless Black Cauldron Sect in one fell swoop. He secretly gave a signal to Zhu Sijia and she sent someone to indistinctly surround Tuoba Xiaonaio. Chapter 293: Thunder like attack Chapter 293: Thunder like attack Just when the night fell, the elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect quietly left under the leadership of Zhu Sijia, rushing towards Black Cauldron Sect on the same night. The number of people was small, only 1600 people, but every one of them was elite. Armor, sharp sword, hooked rope¡­¡­, they were armed to the teeth and had all equipment. With these more than one thousand elites suddenly rushing over, the defenseless Black Cauldron Sect would definitely be caught unprepared. Under the leadership of Zhu Sijia, these more than one thousand people were in neat order. They took shortcuts and were engrossed in hurrying with their journey, quickly proceeded to Black Cauldron Sect. After experiencing a series of storms, Zhu Sijia¡¯s specialty in the aspect of commanding and organizing had gradually emerged. And when handling affairs, now, she was even more decisive. Not many male disciples could match her in the aspect of decisiveness now. This kind of specialty was much better than her talent in alchemy. As for Ye Chuan, he had already left ahead with Little Long¡¯er, disappearing in the boundless night sky. Ye Chuan had only one mission, i.e. reach Black Cauldron Sect first, then destroy the restriction of Black Cauldron Sect before the army arrives, letting the main force drive straight in. The speed of Zhu Sijia and others was very fast, but compared to Little Long¡¯er, there was a heaven and earth¡¯s gap. Not long after, Little Long¡¯er with Ye Chuan on his back arrived at Black Cauldron Sect. Under the veil of night, the entrance gate of Black Cauldron Sect was very quiet, there were not many guards on duty. The majority was old, weak, sick and disabled. In order to successfully attack Five Style Sect in one fell swoop, Tuoba Xiong had made a reckless move once again. He had taken away practically all disciples that could fight. Throughout his life, Tuoba Xiong dared to take risks. Originally, the successor to the throne of Sect Master was another person, but he had taken risks to snatch it when he was young. Many years ago, Black Cauldron Sect was mediocre, among three major sects of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, it wasn¡¯t outstanding at all, but he took risks to pull chestnuts out of the fire, slowly expanding the sect. Perhaps, he had considered everything thoroughly, or perhaps, he was lucky, during the first half of his life, Tuoba Xiong had succeeded in the overwhelming majority of adventurers, making him successful and famous. But, the most recent adventure, i.e., exploration of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm made him suffer disastrous loss. This time, he ventured to attack Five Style Sect, attempting to take advantage of this time to swallow it up Five Style Sect that had also similarly suffered heavy loss. If this venture was successful, then he could replenish the loss, and take a solid step towards the unification of the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range, but if he failed, then he will have nothing! Ye Chuan lurked in the grove while quietly observing the gate of Black Cauldron Sect. And finding a good chance, he took action. The gate of Black Cauldron Sect was a solid fortress with layer upon layer of restriction around it. So, although the sect was defenseless, the guards weren¡¯t worried. In addition, since it was very late at night, the guards weren¡¯t that strict. ¡°Come come come, Er Gou, drink another mouthful.¡± Behind the window in high position, there were two half reclining guards. Each one had a bottle of wine in their hand. One middle-aged guard raised the wine bottle and said to the guard beside him as he poured wine into his mouth, ¡°Tsk tsk, good wine, I haven¡¯t tasted such a fragrant wine for a long time.¡± ¡°Third brother, drink less, it would be bad if other discover this.¡± Young Er Gou was still somewhat worried, and he added, ¡°Although Sect Master has gone out, Sect Protector Hong Tong is still here, if he discovered this, then we are done for.¡± ¡°Fart afraid, that old fellow surnamed Hong, I wondered with which female disciple he is making a merry at this moment, why would he come here to drink the northwest wind? Humph!¡± [T/N: drink the northwest wind: suffer from cold and hunger] The middle-aged man snorted and added seemingly having many complaints against that sect protector, ¡°That old bastard, if it was not for him sticking out his leg, then the position of Sect Protector would have been mine, how could it be his turn to climb up to the throne of sect protector? He used his woman to go and purchase people and made connections through his female relatives to climb up, that old bastard is truly shameless.¡± ¡°Shoos, lower your voice, Third Brother, you are drunk.¡± The youth Er Gou was anxious and worried if other people heard or not, so he looked all around. ¡°Fart drunk, this father isn¡¯t¡­¡­, isn¡¯t drunk. That old bastard surnamed Hong is the most shameless person, moreover, he is a pervert and also cheap. Do you know Elder Han who is bedridden throughout the year, that old fellow whose lower half of the body is already disabled? That surnamed Hong, for the sake of climbing up to the seat of Sect Protector, he actually made his young wife to go and accompany Elder Han for three days and three nights. They say, now his wife is too ashamed to show her face to anyone.¡± The middle-aged man was drunk as he added, ¡°That surnamed Hong has lost all sense of shame, he ran to make a merry with female disciples and he specifically chose female disciples who had just entered the sect to put his hands on, moreover, he often stealthily run over to peek at the bath of female disciples. I heard, he even peeped Miss Tuoba Xiaoniao. They say, Miss is graceful and slender, but after she undressed, her buttocks are so big that nearly scared them to death, moreover, that caused people to drool¡­¡­, that surnamed Hong is truly shameless, he dared to peep Miss, still¡­¡­¡± ¡°Okay, third brother, you are truly drunk, I will help you wake up.¡± The youth Er Gou was so frightened that he jumped and he ran all over to look for water so that he could sober up this middle-aged guard. He was afraid that a loose tongue spells trouble. It was fine to speak anything else, but it was very bad to speak about Miss Tuoba Xiaoniao. Miss Tuoba Xiaoniao was a graceful and fair maiden. Er Gou also loved to peep her buttocks, however, peeking was peeking, but it was a different matter if speak so openly. After looking all around for a while, Er Gou didn¡¯t find a water pot, so he just brought a plateful of filthy water used to wash feet. But at that time, he suddenly felt a buzzing sound beside his ears as if a mosquito was revolving around his head. He stretched out his hand and slapped, he didn¡¯t hit the mosquito, rather gave himself a slap on his face. ¡°How come there is a mosquito in this weather?¡± Er Gou shook his head and continued walking with feet washing water. But, before he took a few steps, he suddenly felt pain as if a mosquito had stung him. Then, his body suddenly stiffened, and felt cold on his neck. An extremely thin sharp blade streaked across the sky and blood sprayed out, then he fell to the ground with a bang. At this moment, he noticed a Golden Cicada in front of his eyes, it had six wings, and now it was above his arm. Six-winged mosquito, does this world has this kind of mosquito? Er Gou sunk into eternal sleep and stopped breathing with this final question. ¡°Er Gou, Er Gou, what happened?¡± The drunk middle-aged man felt something was wrong, he staggered up and looked. Seeing the scene, he was startled and he reached out towards the horn hanging on his waist. Unfortunately, before he could blow this horn to notify the sect, a vine suddenly came from the dark and bound him like a python. He neck was also strangled and it got tighter and tighter. Enemy¡­.., enemy attack! Before this middle-aged man took his last breath, he saw a skinny fellow coming out from the darkness. He didn¡¯t wear clothes, a cotton strip wrapped around his body just like a ghastly mummy that climbed out of the grave. He laughed strangely and thousands of vines shot out from his body and entered the body of this middle-aged guard. Instantly, the sturdy body of this middle-aged man withered turning into a mummy. ¡°Kakaka, this taste is truly wonderful!¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and his voice was frightening. ¡°Rhodes, don¡¯t stand there laughing foolishly. I will give you half an hour to break the restrictions of Black Cauldron Sect, the main force is arriving soon.¡± The indifferent voice of Ye Chuan suddenly resounded in the ears of the Old Demon of Mount Yin. And Old Demon of Mount Yin hastily got into action. Chapter 294: Vine Demon wreaking havoc Chapter 294: Vine Demon wreaking havoc Chaotically dancing long vines appeared all of a sudden in the wind from underground, walls, ceilings¡­¡­, even the hole of the latrine was no exception, vines suddenly sprang out from everywhere. Unguarded guards slowly disappeared under the night sky. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes who had left the remote mountain used his innate skill to break the prohibition against taking life, and sucking the essence blood and vital yang of every guard, his cultivation become stronger, moreover, the more he fought, the more valiant he became, displaying the might of a great devil. After killing 99 guards, along with a strange laughter, a surging violent energy fluctuation erupted out of his body. He broke through to the peak of Daoist Master realm. Now, surpassing both Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi, he became the most powerful helper beside Ye Chuan. With the absence of Tuoba Xiong, there were only old, weak, sick and disabled within the sect, as a result, facing this great devil who had appeared all of a sudden, Black Cauldron Sect was simply unable to resist. ¡°Enemy attack, it¡¯s a great devil, run fast!¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡­, there are vines everywhere, no, there are evil spirits everywhere, save me¡­¡­¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s sinister laughter without any misgivings alarmed the remaining sect guardians. But just after a brief resistance, these guards collapsed completely. ¡°Kakaka, don¡¯t run, don¡¯t run anyone!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily and more vines sprang out from underground. The huge and broad dignified Black Cauldron Sect, all its mountain peaks and its wide expanses were now surrounded by vines. In some places, the vines were so unbelievably overgrown that it blotted out the sky and the sun. No need to mention that the lofty palaces were completely covered, even the moon in the sky was completely obstructed. Looking from above, the terrifying vines appeared just like a sea wave rolling up. These vines destroyed everything in their way. Guards would just stumble to the ground and immediately change into a dry corpse. Crystal stones inlaid in the magic formations, the treasures in the hands of guards and the pills in their bosom, all were swept away by those wind-borne chaotically dancing vines. Losing crystal stones which were the source of energy, powerful and big magic formations and restrictions became weaker, and the entire sect became just like a military camp without any defenses. The powerful Black Cauldron Sect became a vine world. Zhu Sijia leading numerous elite disciples quickly drive straight in. Now, the formerly overbearing Black Cauldron Sect couldn¡¯t even resist. All those who had stayed behind were already exhausted, but the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were fine. Under the lead of Zhu Sijia, they only attacked Black Cauldron Sect, they didn¡¯t indiscriminately kill innocent people. They let off numerous odd-job men and servants who were not cultivators unlike Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes who used his innate skill to change Black Cauldron Sect into a Vine World, killing everyone. Finally, Ye Chuan stepped up to stop his madness. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, altogether 3527 are captured, and searching around, we found 1200 cart of crystal stones and countless weapons and armors with all kinds of cultivation techniques and pills in large numbers.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi came over and eagerly reported the result of the battle to Ye Chuan. Searching and confiscating Black Cauldron Sect, this kind of work was something he liked the most. ¡°Transmit order to Zhu Sijia, immediately head over to Five Style Sect and wipe out Tuoba Xiong and Five Style Sect! As for everyone else, return to Cloud Mist Sect this very night.¡± Ye Chuan lowered his voice and gave orders while coldly looking at this previously broad Black Cauldron Sect. From the beginning to the end, he didn¡¯t raise hands in person. He just stood in front of the entrance of Black Cauldron Sect. This battle went much smoother than he had expected. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, then what about this Black Cauldron Sect? Who will stay behind to guard?¡± Fatty asked. ¡°Burn it down!¡± Ye Chuan coldly replied. Fatty Zhao Dazhi was shocked but he bowed and left. Ye Chuan was truly ruthless enough, even if Tuoba Xiong heard the news and lead his army back, he would only get a pile of debris. From this time on, they would become a group of stray curs! A raging flame rapidly spread everywhere in Black Cauldron Sect. The more it burned the more it flourished and the entire sect was quickly engulfed in flame turning into a sea of flames. Zhu Sijia quickly left with elite disciples towards the next battlefield. Ye Chuan was also nowhere to be seen. With Little Long¡¯er, he had proceeded towards Five Style Sect one step ahead of Zhu Sijia¡¯s group. Now, in the vicinity of Black Cauldron Sect, only a few spies were left in the dark. The three rival powers stood like the legs of a tripod in Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Five Style Sect wasn¡¯t that far away from Black Cauldron Sect. Riding on the back of Little Long¡¯er, Ye Chuan arrived first on this battlefield. As expected, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were fighting desperately in front of the entrance of Five Style Sect. Black Cauldron Sect seized the opportunity and under the command of Tuoba Xiong, they launched a ferocious surprise attack, killing many unprepared experts of Five Style Sect. But since Five Style Sect occupied favorable terrain, moreover, relying on their restriction, they tenaciously defended to the death. As a result, both sides were at a stalemate with blood flowing like a river. In Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, the loss of Black Cauldron Sect was heavy, but Five Style Sect was also the same, and now, these two great sects were caught up in an irresolvable situation of killing each other. Tuoba Xiong stood at the foot of the mountain with a heavy bronze cauldron on his shoulders. Watching the battle on the mountain, his complexion was cloudy and was also frowning. A battle that was thought to be solved within an hour or two had evolved into a to-and-fro tussle, this was something he was unwilling to see. What he wanted was relatively intact Five Style Sect. He wanted to swallow Five Style Sect to replenish the loss of paradise realm. Going on like this, even if he finally occupied Five Style Sect, he would only obtain a pile of debris which was far from something he wanted. With the loss of remaining elites, let alone the unification of entire Cloud Mist Mountain range, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to withstand the challenge of Cloud Mist Sect? The complexion of Tuoba Xiong sunk more and more, and a group of his trusted aides who were standing behind him were also worried. Only a few masked black-robed men didn¡¯t bat an eyelid, and their origin was also unknown. ¡°Your Excellency Emissary, didn¡¯t you say this battle will be settled in at most four hours? What time is it now? Where are your troops? When will they arrive?¡± After watching for a while, Tuoba Xiong turned around and asked a black-robed old man behind him. This black-robed old man was emaciated and small. He was even hunchbacked and his waist was always bending slightly. He appeared ordinary, but his eyes were blazing like torches, moreover, those black-robed people looked at him with respect. He was the leader of these masked black-robed people. ¡°The troops of this lordship will naturally arrive when they should arrive, now is not the time yet.¡± The black-robed old man paused and coldly added, ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, don¡¯t use this kind of tone when speaking with this lordship. It¡¯s not us that ruin things this time, the problem is with your Black Cauldron Sect. When we just arrived, why were the guards of Five Style Sect already prepared? Clearly, there is a mole inside your sect. He/she should have leaked the news to Five Style Sect in advance.¡± ¡°Humph, Your Excellency Emissary, how can you be so sure that my people have a problem? Don¡¯t tell me that your followers never have problems?¡± Tuoba Xiong coldly looked at the followers behind this black-robed old man with killing intent. ¡°I am sure.¡± Black-robed old man replied with complete confidence. ¡°Why?¡± Tuoba Xiong was unyielding and ruthless, but these masked black-robed people were not many in numbers, each and every one of them was an expert, especially the leader black-robed old man, his cultivation was unfathomable and even he himself couldn¡¯t see through it. Unless the matter was particularly serious, Tuoba Xiong was not stupid enough to provoke this black-robed old man. But, seeing the sky was about to get bright and his troop was attacking for a long time without any success, he was naturally filled with anger in his heart. ¡°Because, all of them are death soldiers, if I said them to die, they have no choice but to die. Since they didn¡¯t even fear death, what else is there to make them have misgivings, furthermore, how could they tip off this secret to Five Style Sect?¡± Black-robed old man clapped, and a black-robed man standing at the right side suddenly bowed to salute, then he directly fell to the ground with a bang. After that, a black blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth. He had taken a poison to commit suicide on the spot. The disciples of Black Cauldron Sect along with Tuoba Xiong, this Sect Master were shocked for a moment as they shuddered. Just to prove that they didn¡¯t tip off the information to Five Style Sect, he actually made a trusted aide take poison and commit suicide on the spot. How much ruthless, cruel and sinister one must be to have such means? A hint of fear flashed through the eyes of everyone looking at this black-robed old man. Tuoba Xiong opened his mouth seemingly wanted to say something, but looking at the corpse of a black-robed man on the ground, he didn¡¯t speak. He just turned around and ordered, personally leading the last team of trusted subordinates to attack the entrance of Five Style Sect sparing no effort. !! Chapter 295: Dark Underworld Ring Chapter 295: Dark Underworld Ring With Sect Master Tuoba Xiong personally taking part in this battle, the morale of the troop of Black Cauldron Sect instantly soared and they ferociously attacked the line of defense of Five Style Sect. ¡°Kill, brothers, ten Pei Yuan Pills for killing one disciple of Five Style Sect.¡± ¡°Earth grade cultivation technique for killing a sect protector of Five Style Sect, brothers, step aside and let me go, this old man is mine.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ The offense of Black Cauldron Sect suddenly became ferocious. Many elites rushed over like a wolf and tiger. They wielded flying swords and shot arrows to assassinate the leaders of Five Style Sect. Moreover, they used the heavy cauldron they were carrying on their shoulders to violently attack the defense line of Five Style Sect. A dark red light curtain shrouding the entrance of Five Style Sects rapidly flickered and slowly became dim. Similar to Black Cauldron Sect, Five Style Sect also suffered a heavy damage in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, but the difference was, the sect master of Black Cauldron Sect, Tuoba Xiong, escaped unscathed whereas the higher level personnel of Five Style Sect was wiped out. They didn¡¯t know whether their Sect Master was alive or dead, and it looked like he had died in an unknown corner of that dangerous Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Feng Ren who was a powerful elder had also died, and even Liu Hong who was adept at scheming also died, becoming an ice-cold statue inside Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Now, Five Style Sect was a host of dragons without a head, so facing the ferocious attack of Black Cauldron Sect, they were slowly becoming unable to withstand. ¡°The restriction of Five Style Sect is about to break, kill, the first one to rush in, this lordship will confer him the title of elder and also reward him a heaven grade cultivation technique.¡± The voice of Tuoba Xiong resounded throughout the sky. His complexion was still gloomy as he shouted. Then the bronze cauldron that weighted more than ten thousand jin on his shoulder flew out and ferociously smashed the red light curtain. Crack crack, along with cracking sounds, cracks unexpected appeared on this red light curtain. It was about to collapse. Seeing this the morale of the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect soared. As for the disciples of Five Style Sect who were tenaciously defending to the death, they lost their breath as they understood that this situation was hopeless. This Five Style Sect would truly end today. Ye Chuan hiding in the dark thicket shook his head. He and Little Long¡¯er had already arrived here for a good while, but they bade for their time while looking at this battle between Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect with cold a cold eyes. Tonight, he wanted to not only completely destroy Black Cauldron Sect, he also wanted to swallow up Five Style Sect. The sudden attack of Tuoba Xiong, trying to swallow up Five Style Sect to become the overlord, this was not only a challenge for Ye Chuan and Cloud Mist Sect, this was also a rare chance. Taking advantage of this chance, he could swallow up both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect in turn, truly unifying the strength of entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Then, with more resources, he would have more assurance to respond to the upcoming army of either Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect. Tuoba Xiong was daring enough to take chances, but little did he imagine that the thoughts of Ye Chuan were even more daring. When calm, Ye Chuan was calmer than anyone else, he wouldn¡¯t have even the slightest bit of emotion fluctuation even if the heaven fell. He could calculate every step of both enemies and his side. But, once a chance appears, he would quickly seize it becoming more daring than anyone else, putting down all his chips even if there is the possibility of a failure. But he could concentrate on killing all enemies in one fell swoop so as to not leave any hidden danger for the future. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, we are coming to help you, Dark Underworld Specters, come out.¡± The leader masked black-robed old man suddenly shouted. A black ring appeared in the middle finger of his right hand and gently rotated. Inside Five Style Sect, inside the red light curtain, suddenly a cold wind sprang out from underground and black mist rapidly shrouded the entire entrance gate. This black mist not only came suddenly, they vaguely condensed into specters and initiated a strange attack on the disciples of Five Style Sect. They floated in the sky and directly passed through the body of people. The disciples of Five Style Sect who were unfortunate enough to have these specters to pass through their body instantly became stiff, then falling to the ground, they stopped breathing. Not a single injury could be seen on their body, but the internal organs within their body were completely frozen with a strange power. The blood vessels were frozen and even the heart was frozen making it unable to beat. Moreover, even if the cultivation was high, it was useless. This is the reinforcement talked by the masked black-robed old man. Tuoba Xiong was stunned and found this unbelievable. But, soon after that, he excitedly led the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect to launch even more violent attacks. Even Ye Chuan who was hiding in the thicket was startled. The masked black-robed old man¡¯s this move, it was absolutely deadly. This thoroughly snapped the last straw of the disciples of Five Style Sect. Strange dark mist and specters, moreover, that strange attack, even elite disciples were unable to withstand them and they also didn¡¯t have the courage to resist. Sure enough, facing these specters and terrifying mist, the disciples of Five Style Sect dispersed in confusion. The red light that shrouded the main gate was forcibly destroyed and the army of Black Cauldron Sect swarmed in, beginning to kill indiscriminately. Merely, that masked black-robed old man pointed towards the distance and that strange black mist spread towards the depths of Five Style Sect, and numerous specters condensed from this dark mist chased and killed fleeing disciples of Five Style Sect. Powerful, who is this old fellow? Could it be that he is that Dark Underworld Emissary who once incited Third Elder Bai Yanhu to revolt? Ye Chuan thought and he suddenly recalled a figure he had seen from far away in the White Tiger Hall of Third Elder Bai Yanhu. The more he looked, the more he felt like he had seen this fellow. ¡°Hahaha, kill, kill all the way for me, kill everyone on the spot if they don¡¯t surrender.¡± Tuoba Xiong laughed heartily and holding his head high, he uttered a long, loud cry in excitement. After thinking over so many times and paying a heavy price, he finally broke the restriction of Five Style Sect. Now, swallowing up Five Style Sect, he could see himself becoming an overload, so how could he not be excited? ¡°Congratulation, Your Excellency Sect Master, after swallowing up Five Style Sect, the strength of Your Excellency Sect Master will rise and will become an overlord worthy of the name. Even Da Qin Dynasty will have no choice but to give you three tenth of respect.¡± The masked black-robed old man walked over to the side of Tuoba Xiong along with his followers. He understood what Tuoba Xiong was thinking and what he wanted. But his tone changed and he lowered his voice, ¡°But, the battle is not over yet, it is not yet the time to truly relax. Even though Five Style Sect is finished, Cloud Mist Sect is still there. We should integrate the strength of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect at the fastest speed. Then, wait for our chance to capture Cloud Mist Sect in one fell swoop, the faster the better. Otherwise, it would be too late if Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect attack it first.¡± ¡°Your Excellency Emissary, rest assured, the vitality of Cloud Mist Sect is greatly damaged after the internal strife. Second Elder Nangong Ren no longer pays any attention to the affair of the world and now it is Ye Chuan that brat in power. He is still a brat with wet behind his ears, even if he is capable, he will still be playing in the palm of this lordship. And after annihilating Cloud Mist Sect, this lordship will truly become the overlord of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, hahaha.¡± Tuoba Xiong roared with laughter as his long-cherished wish for many years could finally be expected soon. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, having ample assurance is naturally the best, but, that brat Ye Chuan is very crafty like a thousand years old fox. Your Excellency Sect Master should be careful. In addition, after the overall situation is settled, prior agreement of ours¡­¡­¡± The masked black-robed old man said looking at Tuoba Xiong. ¡°Rest assured, this lordship will definitely accomplish what this lordship had agreed, but the premise is that you all must spare no effort to help me destroy Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Tuoba Xiong nodded his head without any hesitation. It was unknown what kind of agreement these two have made in secret. ¡°These words assured me.¡± The masked black-robed old man extended his hand and Tuoba Xiong grabbed his hand making a pledge, then they smiled while looking at each other. And with the cooperation between these two people who were sinister, ruthless, savage and ferocious, like spitting a bamboo, the remnant of Five Style Sect were basically unable to resist. Chapter 296: Catching a turtle in a jar Chapter 296: Catching a turtle in a jar Even after Zhu Sijia and her group had arrived, the battle between Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect was still going on. After losing the defense of the main gate, the evenly matched battle changed into a one-sided massacre. Five Style Sect was not able to counterattack with power, but in many remote corners, there were still many sporadic fighting. The disciples of Five Style Sect had gotten together in twos and threes to resist the massacre of Black Cauldron Sect using the familiar terrain. These battles were small scaled but were extremely intense. With the help of Dark Underworld Emissary, Tuoba Xiong defeated Five Style Sect in one fell swoop, but if he wanted to thoroughly have the situation under the control, then he needed to spend even more time and patience. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, let¡¯s make a move now. Let¡¯s rush in and kill unguarded Black Cauldron Sect.¡± After arriving behind Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia took the initiative to ask for a battle assignment. And more than thousand elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were also already prepared to attack. They were just waiting for the command of Ye Chuan. After breaking through the main gate of Five Style Sect, Tuoba Xiong just left about a dozen disciples to defend. The main force had all went to the depths of Five Style Sect to encircle and suppress those disciples of Five Style Sect that were putting up a desperate struggle. If they rush over at this moment, then they would definitely catch Black Cauldron Sect unprepared. ¡°No, let them have a dogfight. Jiajia, now, what you need to do is not directly clash against Black Cauldron Sect, rather surround Five Style Sect first and not let even a single one of them escape, as for everything else, leave it to me.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, then summoning Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, he instructed something in his ear. The Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed receiving the orders. At the main gate, there were about a dozen disciples of Black Cauldron Sect. Some were half lying on the ground to rest while breathing heavily, some were simply drinking wine they obtained from who knows where, and some were occupied dressing up their wounds, none of them notice that a danger was approaching them. Long and thorny vines suddenly sprang out from underground, entangling this about a dozen disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, then their tip stabbed into their body, sucking their essence blood and vital yang. None of them had any time to respond, and before they understood what was going on, they died and their body turned into a withered corpse. ¡°Kakaka, I like this kind of battle.¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily and flew into the depth of Five Style Sect. His mission wasn¡¯t to besiege the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, rather was to assassinate the experts of those two sects, especially Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s disciple, crippling the limbs of Tuoba Xiong. ¡°Jiajia, defend the gate, don¡¯t let anyone escape.¡± Ye Chuan summoned Sea Demoness, Six Winged Golden Cicada, 12 Human Faced Snakes and other yao beasts. Sixed Winged Golden Cicada left by itself in search of targets just like Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes. As for others, they stayed behind to help Zhu Sijia lay out the line of defense. Soon, a red light screen shone once again, covering the entire Five Style Sect, merely, originally this light screen was used for resisting the invasion of the foreign enemy, but now, it had become shackles to trap everyone within Five Style Sect in the hands of Cloud Mist Sect. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t hesitate spent a large amount of vitality to reverse the restriction of Five Style Sect to use it as a trap. The foundation of Black Cauldron Sect had already ceased to exist, now, as long as the foundation of Five Style Sect as well as the group of Tuoba Xiong were also eliminated, the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range would thoroughly fall under his control. A faint red light screen didn¡¯t alert Five Style Sect and Black Cauldron Sect. The disciples of Five Style Sect were too busy to attend to other things, either they were so terrified that they knelt to the ground to surrender or they hid in a corner to avoid the massacre of the enemy; as for Tuoba Xiong and others, although they sensed the abnormality of this restriction, all of them thought that those disciples of Black Cauldron Sect who were left behind must have activated that restriction so as to prevent yao beasts from entering the sect smelling the smell of blood. No one had thought that, the restriction of Five Style Sect was already reversed. The battle was still going on. Black Cauldron Sect held the upper hand and slowly controlled the situation. But at this time, many started to notice that the expert beside them had disappeared, but they just thought that they had either left because of some matter or had gone to chase after the disciples of Five Style Sect that were putting up a desperate struggle. The overwhelming majority of people who had disappeared were elite disciples or commanders. When all was said and done, the situation of Five Style Sect was chaotic, so in the beginning, no one suspected. But, after a while, some people suddenly discovered the corpse of disappeared experts in thickets, corners formed by two walls, stone cracks and so on concealed places. This matter was serious, so this news was quickly transmitted to Sect Master Tuoba Xiong. The old man Dark Underworld Emissary and Tuoba Xiong personally went over and carefully examined the corpse of those elite experts. ¡°Their heart is penetrated, this is the wound created by some kind of sharp weapon. It doesn¡¯t resemble the wound from a sharp sword and also not from an arrow. Not even a drop of blood is left inside the corpse, even the flesh is withered.¡± Tuoba Xiong carefully examined the wound of a corpse without any expression. As for his guards standing behind him, each and every one were terrified and their hair stood on end. The corpse fallen on the ground had clearly died not long ago, but it resembled a withered corpse of several hundred years ago. They couldn¡¯t see even a drop of blood on the ground, but the corpse didn¡¯t even have a drop of blood left, what did this explain. Blood-sucking evil spirit. Inside Five Style Sect, there was a terrifying blood-sucking evil spirit that could vanish without a trace. Perhaps, after smelling the smell of blood, it came out from the depth of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, or perhaps, it was sealed within Five Style Sect, and the guards of Five Style Sect, seeing they had nowhere to hide from the massacre of Black Cauldron Sect, they simply undid the seal releasing this blood-sucking evil spirit to perish together. ¡°Blood-sucking evil spirit, it is definitely a blood-sucking evil spirit.¡± ¡°The Sect Master of Five Style Sect has disappeared without a trace, it is said that he had disappeared after a restriction of paradise realm had engulfed him, but could it be that he had actually changed into a blood-sucking evil spirit and Five Style Sect just blocked this information?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. More and more disciples of Black Cauldron Sect rushed over after hearing this news and they talked in whispered pointing at that corpse. The more they talked the more outrageous it became, everyone became terrified and nervous. ¡°Your Excellency Emissary, what do you think?¡± Tuoba Xiong stood up and asked Dark Underworld Emissary standing beside him with a gloomy expression. He had conquered Five Style Sect with great difficulty and was about to control the overall situation, but suddenly such a thing appeared. This was a huge blow to Black Cauldron Sect. Dark Underworld Emissary didn¡¯t speak, he just closed his eyes to sense something. After a good while, he suddenly opened his eyes and looking outside layer upon layer of mountain peaks, he looked towards the faint light red screen shrouding the entire Five Style Sect and said, ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, the activation of the main gate restriction of Five Style Sect, was that under your order?¡± After unforeseen events occurred in succession, masked black robed Dark Underworld Emissary finally sensed the abnormality of this light screen. Then, his eyes emitted pallid light. ¡°No, but wasn¡¯t that activated by the disciple left behind there? What does this¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiong shook his head and just when he was about to say there was nothing strange, he suddenly felt cold in his heart. If one wanted to activate the main gate restriction, then one needed a lot of energy along with the great understanding of the restriction of Five Style Sect. Even if he personally want to activate this restriction, it would take time and energy. As for those dozen or so disciples who had stayed behind, all of them were average people, the one with the highest cultivation base was also only Rank 7 Xiushi realm. How could they do this? Big matter, this was a big matter. Tuoba Xiong and Dark Underworld Emissary looked at each other without uttering a single word, then they coincidentally rushed towards the main gate at the same time. Chapter 297: Behaving too shrewdly Chapter 297: Behaving too shrewdly Tuoba Xiong and the masked black-robed old man rushed back at lightning speed, and they quickly returned to the entrance gate of Five Style Sect, followed by a large group of elites. The first thing they saw when they arrived there was a dozen or so corpses. These skinny and withered corpses looked as if they were several hundred years old, but they were wearing the standard war robe of Black Cauldron Sect. In a single glance, they could discern that they were those disciples of Black Cauldron Sect left behind to guard the entrance gate. ¡°Who did this, come out!¡± Tuoba Xiong suddenly stopped and shouted. After getting closer, he keenly became aware of the danger of that red light screen. Outside the light screen, in the midst of dense grove, he could see the shadows of people moving about, but he couldn¡¯t estimate the number of enemies hiding to ambush. No one answered, only a cold wind was blowing in the vicinity of the entrance gate. This wind was not very cold, but numerous disciples of Black Cauldron Sect involuntarily shivered and goosebumps appeared in their arms. ¡°Guards, go, burn down that grove for me.¡± Tuoba Xiong ferociously commanded. A group of his bodyguards quickly stood out, then burning the arrowheads of arrows, a dozen or so arrows whistled through the sky. Everyone open their eyes wide, waiting to see what was hiding in the grove, but they were disappointed, moreover, they were shocked and also afraid. The whistling burning arrows collided with the red light screen, then the light screen just rippled slightly and the burning arrows bounced back at higher speed, shooting down those about a dozen bodyguards who were caught unprepared. This main gate restriction, how could it have the ability to counterattack the people inside? The army of Black Cauldron Sect turned pale with fright. Even Tuoba Xiong and masked black-robed old man Dark Underworld Emissary had a change in countenance. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, someone used a great technique to reverse this main gate restriction. Expert, this is the work of a true expert.¡± The eyes of Dark Underworld Emissary shone as he said, then he raised his head to signal his followers. All followers immediately retreated and clustered around him. The complexion of Tuoba Xiong sunk and become green and black, making him look terrifying. He had done all he could do to attack Five Style Sect and finally was about to completely control it with great difficulty and suffering heavy casualties, but, someone had seized the route of retreat, trapping him here, was there anything worse than this? In the exploration of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, the vitality of his sect had suffered a big damage, but now, being surrounded, if he couldn¡¯t break out of this encirclement, then the entire army will be wiped out. Who is it? Coming at such a perfect time and so ruthless. Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect which is known as the foremost sect under the heaven? The heart of Tuoba Xiong become heavier and heavier. Right after he thought of Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect, he again rejected them. Although Da Qin Dynasty was powerful and prosperous, Cloud Mist Mountain Range was far away from the capital, moreover, there was no important town in the vicinity of 1000 li, so it was impossible to hide their movement if Da Qin Dynasty wanted to attack. As for Heavenly Yao Sect, it had a large number of experts, they had the ability to flatten Cloud Mist Mountain Range without anybody knowing, but, if Heavenly Yao Sect truly wanted to attack, then they basically didn¡¯t need to do this, they could directly crush everything. Not Da Qin Dynasty and also not Heavenly Yao Sect, then who could it be? Could it be that it is¡­¡­ Tuoba Xiong suddenly thought about a person, Ye Chuan. Although this was rather unbelievable, after thinking over and over again, other than Cloud Mist Sect and Ye Chuan, he truly couldn¡¯t think of anyone else that could suddenly appear here. He took a deep breath and shouted, ¡°Come out, Ye Chuan, you are capable of dispatching troops, but don¡¯t have the guts to stand out.¡± Clap clap clap, a clapping sound resounded as Ye Chuan walked out from behind a big tree. ¡°Smart, you guessed this so quickly, worthy of being a Sect Master. People said Your Excellency Sect Master is shrewd, is the most amazing Sect Master of Black Cauldron Sect throughout the history. It seems that really isn¡¯t false.¡± Ye Chuan looked at Tuoba Xiong and others, then his gaze rested on the masked old man for a moment and indifferently said, ¡°Unfortunately, you behaved too shrewdly and schemed too much. You were confused over an easy petty profit in front of your eyes, in turn forgetting the fundamental, attending to trifles and neglect essentials. In the end, you are bound to have a miserable end, so pitiful, so unfortunate, so regrettable.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and his gaze had a trace of sympathy looking at Tuoba Xiong, but when he looked at the masked black-robed old man, his eyes were glimmering with pallid light and killing intent. Without a doubt, this old man was Dark Underworld Emissary. This time, he finally stopped him. But, for an unknown reason, he could vaguely feel this old man was familiar. He felt as if he had seen this old man somewhere else other than the White Tiger Hall of Cloud Mist Sect. Especially those long and narrow indifferent eyes, Ye Chuan was sure that he had seen them somewhere. Figures began to walk out from the grove. Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi took the initiative to come out and stood behind Ye Chuan. After that, Sea Demoness Hai Lili and 12 human faced snakes came out. Later, Zhu Sijia along with over one thousand elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect walked out. Every one of them was armed to the teeth, and all of them were filled with fighting spirit. ¡°Cloud Mist Sect, it¡¯s Cloud Mist Sect.¡± ¡°Damned, how can Cloud Mist Sect come so suddenly?¡± The disciples of Black Cauldron Sect were shocked in their heart as they made an uproar. After the exploration of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, the vitality of Black Cauldron Sect was greatly damaged and after fighting with Five Style Sect, they had again suffered heavy casualties. Now, the number of disciples of Black Cauldron Sect who could fight was only 800 at most. This number wasn¡¯t small, but all of them were exhausted and many of them were severely injured, how could they fight against full power Cloud Mist Sect at this moment? Moreover, they had a strange person who could reverse the restriction. ¡°Brat, it¡¯s really you.¡± Tuoba Xiong gritted his teeth, he was itching to throw the heavy cauldron on his shoulder to crush Ye Chuan to meat pulp, but he suppressed the anger in his heart and said, ¡°Boy, I am very surprised, how did you know that we want to attack Five Style Sect?¡± Tuoba Xiong was puzzled in his heart. If he didn¡¯t make this clear, then he would not be able to close his eyes even when he died. ¡°Tuoba Xiaoniao.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°What, Xiaoniao, she¡­¡­, did she tell you? How can that be?¡± Tuoba Xiong wanted to vomit blood, he had never thought that the person who sold him out was unexpectedly his own daughter. But, considering for a bit, it was impossible, not that he believed that Tuoba Xiaoniao would never sell him out, instead, she didn¡¯t know anything specific, so how could she snitch? ¡°Tuoba Xiaoniao didn¡¯t need to tell anything, but anyone could figure this out seeing her.¡± Ye Chuan paused and indifferently said, ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, you are too shrewd, shrewd enough to scheme and use your own daughter, but unfortunately, you were too shrewd, as a result, you instead easily gave yourself away. You wanted to create a diversion, on the contrary, you ruin yourself and your sect.¡± ¡°Brat, what do you mean?¡± Tuoba Xiong suddenly felt this turn of event was anything but reassuring. The so-called wanting to betroth Tuoba Xiaoniao to his personal disciple and then expelling her away from the sect, this was nothing but a scheme to provoke the hostility and vigilance of Ye Chuan, intentionally making him guard against the sneak attack of Black Cauldron Sect, then, when this matter created a diversion, suddenly attacking Five Style Sect. Little did he imagined that everything would be seen through by Ye Chuan. Tuoba Xiong had run wild in Cloud Mist Mountain range for so many years and had seen unknown numbers of experts, but he had never seen such an abnormal schemer like Ye Chuan. Since Ye Chuan had already seen through his scheme and he was trapped in Five Style Sect at this crucial moment, Black Cauldron Sect was completely defenseless. Will this brat miss this golden opportunity? The heart of Tuoba Xiong became heavy and suddenly felt harder to breathe. At this moment, the worst situation he had never thought appeared in his mind. Chapter 298: Why don’t you surrender? Chapter 298: Why don¡¯t you surrender? ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, please look by yourself.¡± Ye Chuan clapped and Fatty Zhao Dazhi brought a captured disciple of Black Cauldron Sect. He was the trusted aide of Tuoba Xiong left behind in Black Cauldron Sect. When he saw the situation was anything but reassuring, he wanted to escape and report to Tuoba Xiong, result, he was caught midway and was beaten to half-dead. Now, his entire body was trembling, and under escort of fatty who borrowed the tiger¡¯s fierceness, his legs went soft and it was especially strenuous to take each step. ¡°Wang Li, you¡­¡­¡± The limbs of Tuoba Xiong became ice-cold. When he saw his trusted aide Wang Li who was supposed to stay in the sect, he understood everything. The matter he had afraid the most had occurred. As for the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, their complexion turned pale and their morale plunged down. No one was an idiot, they quickly understood what had happened. The masked black-robed men were also the same, now, a hint of fear appeared in their eyes. The sect was crushed, taking advantage of the time when it was defenseless, and now, the remnants were also besieged heavily. The situation was hopeless. Finished, Five Style Sect was finished and Black Cauldron Sect was also finished. The heart of the people of Black Cauldron Sect from top to bottom shook. Everyone understood that this situation was hopeless. Even if Sect Master Tuoba Xiong had heaven-defying abilities, he wouldn¡¯t be able to turn around this hopeless situation. Taking one step wrong, Black Cauldron Sect that had slowly build up its strength was destroyed in his hands. ¡°Sect¡­¡­, Your Excellency Sect Master, Could Mist Sect conquered the sect, and it was burned¡­¡­, burned down.¡± The trusted aide Wang Li reported and when he finished speaking, he fell to the ground. Before setting out, Tuoba Xiong had placed high hopes on him and was given the heavy responsibility to guard the sect. The result, not to mention the sect had fallen, he wasn¡¯t even able to report this news in time. This was a serious dereliction of duty. If it was not for that light curtain, then Tuoba Xiong might have already smashed him to death with that heavy cauldron on his shoulders. The disciples of Black Cauldron Sect became restless again. Everyone had a thought to retreat and they had no mood to go on fighting. Black Cauldron Sect had fallen into the hands of Cloud Mist Sect, guessing was one thing and hearing the report from the mouth of Wang Li was another. Since the sect ceased to exist, was there any reason to fight? ¡°Burned down, haha, good, very good.¡± Tuoba Xiong laughed. He was so angry that he laughed. Now he resembled a mad yao beast while ferociously glaring at Ye Chuan. His eyes were bright red and he vomited a mouthful of blood as he said, ¡°Brat, you are ruthless, you are truly very ruthless.¡± He felt stifling in his heart and felt extreme sorrow. This was too sudden, so Tuoba Xiong was feeling so much pain and anger that he vomited blood. Throughout his life, he strived to expand Black Cauldron Sect while dreaming about unifying the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range, becoming a true overlord of this area. The result, when he was excitedly attacking Five Style Sect thinking he dream was about to come true, Ye Chuan directly attacked. His sect was burned down. Just vomiting blood was still light, not collapsing on the spot due to cerebral hemorrhage was already pretty good. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, surrender, surrender with the remaining disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, then I will spare your life.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said. Considering Tuoba Xiaoniao and also considering Tuoba Xiong had stopped Feng Ren in the paradise realm, Ye Chuan wanted to give a way out to Tuoba Xiong. Cloud Mist Sect was very big, he could find a place for Tuoba Xiong to live out his life in retirement. Moreover, although Tuoba Xiong was defeated, he could still be regarded as a formidable man with great ability. If Tuoba Xiong got pointers from him, then his future achievement will not be any less than Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. ¡°Hahaha, surrender, why?¡± Tuoba Xiong took a step forward and took a position of forcibly breaking out of the main gate restriction to kill Ye Chuan as he said, ¡°Brat, with just this restriction and over thousand disciples, do you think that you can trap us?¡± ¡°There is a bit more, I think the addition of a bit more will be enough.¡± Ye Chuan clapped his hands again, then from the grove, one Evil Eyed Cow Demon walked out, then two, three¡­¡­, more and more. In the end, several hundreds of them gathered together in a battle formation, waiting to take action. In the sky, a powerful dragon roar resounded and a ferocious demonic dragon soared and circled around the sky above the gate, then a big shadow appeared in the horizon, it was a group of ferocious golden eagles. The yao beast legion of Ye Chuan gradually appeared shocking the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect. This was not the end, someone quickly noticed the abnormality below their feet. They lowered their head to see and saw that a green sprout had appeared below them at an unknown time. Then, under the gaze of people, they grew up strong and sturdy, quickly becoming long vines which danced chaotically in the air, as if a python baring fangs and brandishing claws. Some were too late to dodge and these vines bound them, instantly turning them into withered corpses. Then a strange laughter resounded in the sky of this gate. The Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was unwilling to be alone, so he also appeared and attack before Ye Chuan gave the order to attack. He was already unable to endure, so he killed several disciples of Black Cauldron Sect to taste them. Moreover, his laughter drifted from place to place as if that came from far away horizon and also from underneath their feet. This laughter along with those chaotically dancing vines frightened people. The remaining disciples of Black Cauldron Sect had their heart in jitters. Seeing Old Demon of Mount Yin attacking for the first time, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were also shocked. Fatty Zhao Dazhi directly trembled and secretly rejoiced that this kind of great demon was fortunately under the control of Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan. He didn¡¯t know where Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan found this yao beast. ¡°Brat, you are awesome, but as long as we defend to the death, you will also not be able to enter.¡± Tuoba Xiong gritted his teeth and ferociously glared at Ye Chuan. When the yao beast legion of Ye Chuan appeared, he discarded the thought of forcibly breaking out of this barrier. Now, it was already impossible to escape unscathed, so he switched to resist stubbornly until the end and see who could persist longer. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t be happy too early, Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect will not let you off. I want to see who has more time.¡± The news of Heavenly Yao Sect wanting to deal with Cloud Mist Sect, Tuoba Xiong had already learned it from Dark Underworld Emissary, precisely because of this, he had confidentially attacked Five Style Sect. Now, the situation was hopeless, and there was no hope of breaking out of this encirclement, but he hoped to force Ye Chuan to retreat using this as the pretext. The main force of Cloud Mist Sect was here, once Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect invade, Ye Chuan had to retreat. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, you cannot afford to waste time, and you also cannot resist. Don¡¯t forget, our Cloud Mist Sect is good at refining antidote and also good at refining poison.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said and clapped his hands again. Golden Eagles circling around in the sky rapidly dived down and flying over the sky above the gate in crowds, they threw down crystal bottles. When those crystal bottles fell down to the ground, they immediately broke and smoke rolled up. No need to mention about how their line of sight was blocked, just inhaling a bit, their nose was irritated, they felt dizzy and felt stuffy in their chest. Inhaling a few more, their limbs would stiffen and tears and nasal mucus flowed down. Caveman Fragrance. After returning back from the paradise realm, Ye Chuan instructed Zhu Sijia to study the poisonous mist on both sides of Demon Dragon Path and refine a type of poison. And for the time being, they were not able to recreate the poisonous mist with terrifying power like that of the paradise realm, but the poisonous mist they created could quickly make their people lose fighting power. It was named caveman fragrance. Just like the name implied, the word ¡®cave (¶´)¡¯ was from the world paradise realm (¶´ÌìÊÀ½ç). In the future, if it was improved to the level of that poisonous mist at both sides of Demonic Dragon Path, then it would definitely become a great killing weapon. Inside, the disciples of Black Cauldron Sects dispersed in confusion. With poisonous mist everywhere, their formation was in chaos. Some people dispersed to one side and even more people ran straight into the depth of Five Style Sect to save themselves. The situation of Black Cauldron Sect was hopeless, only a few people willing to die for Tuoba Xiong were left here. Tuoba Xiong looked deathly pale and a powerless feeling appeared in his heart. He had just pledged to stall for time until the death of Ye Chuan, but in the blink of an eye, he was attacked head-on. Now, let alone break out of an encirclement, it was impossible to even stall for time. Similarly daring Ye Chuan, once he made a move, he would make move in succession, so, once he made a move, his opponent would definitely not have any route of retreat. Now, there were only two choices for Tuoba Xiong, either fight to the death, rush up to court death or wait for the death, or, as Ye Chuan said, surrender. Tuoba Xiong who commanded the wind and the clouds in Cloud Mist Mountain Range in former days, now, he faced a difficult choice. Chapter 299: Thousand years old fox Chapter 299: Thousand years old fox ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, I will break this main gate restriction, and then, let¡¯s rush out together.¡± The masked black-robed old man who was silent from the beginning suddenly made a move. Silently chanting a technique formula, a black ring appeared on his finger which emitted a black mist. Terrifying specters condensed therein and rushed towards the red light curtain while roaring loudly and collided. This collision made this light curtain which couldn¡¯t be penetrated by arrows ripple violently and rapidly. ¡°Everything this brat said is fake, let¡¯s kill our way back to our Black Cauldron Sect.¡± Tuoba Xiong roared loudly and initiated a ferocious attack. Boom, a muffled sound resounded as a more than ten thousand jin cauldron flew into the air from the shoulders of Tuoba Xiong and smashed the red light screen. Some disciples of Black Cauldron Sect also rushed up and violently attacked light screen that was swaying violently. They wanted to break this restriction. Although there was a massive force outside and Ye Chuan had arranged nets above and snares below, as long as there was the slightest bit of hope to break out of this encirclement, no one wanted to give up easily. Some people feared death and run away just before a battle, but not everyone was willing to allow themselves to be captured with their hands tied. ¡°Attack.¡± Ye Chuan coldly ordered. To deal with a formidable enemy, just making them fall into a trap with strategy wasn¡¯t enough. One should still need powerful strength. In the critical moment, one should inflict a critical damage to the opponent, destroying all their hopes. Swish swish swish, void breaking sounds resounded. Zhu Sijia and numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were already prepared. They shot sharp arrows. After the main gate restriction was reversed by Ye Chuan, the army of Black Cauldron Sect was trapped inside and couldn¡¯t shoot out arrows from inside. On the contrary, Cloud Mist Sect that was standing outside could attack as they please. They poured down sharp arrows in torrents at the position of Black Cauldron Sect. Screams resounded. Tuoba Xiong was fine, but his most faithful and true followers fell in succession. At that time, strange and terrifying vines overgrew once again and came from all direction. As long as anyone fell to the ground, they would be immediately bound by these innumerable vines, and would instantly drown in these vines. There was a peak Xiushi realm team leader, after being bound by vines, he stood up gritted his teeth and swung his sword to cut off the vines on his body, but before he could walk a few steps, even more vines bound him, and he fell to the ground once again. The surrounding disciples of Black Cauldron Sect rushed up to help upon seeing this, but before they had time to make a move, they saw this team leader was dragged away by these vines. That team leader opened his mouth to call for help, but several vines entered his opened mouth, as a result, he was not able to make any sounds, he just whimpered as he instantly changed into a dried corpse. The Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes who was hiding within the sect took advantage of this occasion to wantonly kill the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect. Six-Winged Golden Cicada also appeared and in the midst of this chaotic battle, it flew all around like a ghost and its sharp wings cut the throat of the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect. But, regardless of attack power or shocking people, compared to Old Demon of Mount Yin, there was a big gap. ¡°Kakaka, attack, come together and be sure to not surrender, it¡¯s no fun if you surrender, kakaka¡­¡­¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes laughed. He desired to see the world plunged into chaos. He wished that all disciple of Black Cauldron Sect summon up their courage and energy to fight back. The last thing he wanted was to see was the surrender of Tuoba Xiong. As a tree demon, sucking the essence blood and vital yang of the enemy was his innate skill and also the most effective means of cultivation. Killing the entire group of Tuoba Xiong was enough for his cultivation to rise once again, and he might even break through to Half-Sage realm in one fell swoop. For him, killing was the best method of cultivation. After escaping the ancient ominous domain Five Fingered Buddhist Cave, he had never before killed so freely without any misgivings. If the group of Tuoba Xiong surrendered, then he would not have this golden opportunity. Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t raise his hand. Flame Devil, Horned Demon Na Gusi, Little Long¡¯er, human-faced snakes and other powerful followers also had yet to make a move. Just the attack of Old Demon of Mount Yin and the group of Zhu Sijia was giving a big headache to Tuoba Xiong, destroying their spirit and confidence. Some disciples of Black Cauldron Sect who were looking from far away, seeing this situation, their limbs became ice-cold and they didn¡¯t dare to rush forward. ¡°Kill.¡± Tuoba Xiong was seething in anger and now he truly resembled a mad bear (xiong). He carried his over ten thousand jin heavy cauldron and repeatedly smashed the red light screen. He wanted to use brute force to break this restriction. The disciples of Black Cauldron Sect were screaming under the rain of arrows, but these arrows didn¡¯t even make him itch, let alone give him serious injury. And under the ferocious attack, the red light screen rippled and began to become dimmer. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, I will help you.¡± The masked black-robed old man rushed up and turning the Dark Underworld Ring on his finger, the dense black mist suddenly changed into a huge palm and ferociously attacked the red light screen. Boom, a loud sound resounded and the red light screen shook violently under the attack of this palm, then along with a snapping sound, it completely vanished. ¡°Kill.¡± ¡°Rush out, rush out.¡± Tuoba Xiong and the masked black-robed old man immediately rushed out at the same time. They wanted to take advantage of this favorable situation to forcibly break out of this encirclement. The eyes of the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect shone and they also rushed up with the hope to escape with life. A dazzling cyan light shone. A densely packed cyan light beams suddenly whistled towards the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, forcing them to retreat again. Several hundred Evil Eyed Cow Demons that were prepared long ago attacked. These cyan light beams didn¡¯t have any effect against Tuoba Xiong, but the physical body of the ordinary disciples of Black Cauldron Sect was not as strong, they fell one after another. Then, that terrifying vines bound them, instantly changing them into dried corpses. The remaining disciples of Black Cauldron Sect who had just seen a bit of hope retreated again. Now, only a very few people were behind Tuoba Xiong and that masked black-robed old man. Looking back and seeing the corpses of numerous trusted aides, the eyes of Tuoba Xiong became bright red and he roared like a wounded beast. ¡°Kill, Your Excellency Sect Master, let¡¯s join hands to kill this brat Ye Chuan.¡± The masked old man also flew into a rage, and he rushed straight towards Ye Chuan. To catch brigands, first catch their king, if Ye Chuan was killed, the troops of Cloud Mist Sect would become a host of dragons without a head, then, they could smoothly break out of this encirclement. Moreover, if they couldn¡¯t kill Ye Chuan, then they could at least perish together with him. Rumble, a loud sound resounded again. The killing intent of Tuoba Xiong soared, and along with that masked old man, he rushed towards Ye Chuan. He threw his heavy cauldron towards Ye Chuan from far away. He couldn¡¯t wait to crush Ye Chuan into a meat paste. Now, his speed was faster than the masked old man and he rushed towards forward with threatening momentum. He had conquered Five Style Sect with great difficulty but now all that had been achieved was spoiled. Black Cauldron Sect also ceased to exist and the trusted aides who had followed him for many years also fell one after another, so now, Tuoba Xiong had truly gone mad. He no longer thought of breaking out of this encirclement, rather glared at Ye Chuan with killing intent like a ferocious wolf. Today, if he didn¡¯t kill Ye Chuan, then he wouldn¡¯t close his eyes when he died. Under rage, he didn¡¯t notice that the masked old man who had rushed towards Ye Chuan first had secretly slowed down and in the end, he suddenly changed his direction, running towards the side to break out of this encirclement by himself. Since this situation was anything but reassuring, this Dark Underworld Emissary had already begun to think about escaping without a trance. He said that he wanted to kill Ye Chuan on the surface but in secret, he made Tuoba Xiong his shield. He was as crafty as a thousand-year-old fox. Chapter 300: It turned out to be you Chapter 300: It turned out to be you ¡°Yi Yanzi, Na Gusi, you two, stop this mad bear, capture him alive.¡± Receiving the command of Ye Chuan, Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi rushed forward and joined forces to stop this raging Tuoba Xiong. Rank 5 Daoist Master realm against Rank 4 Daoist master realm, moreover, two versus one, very quickly, Tuoba Xiong was suppressed. Flying into range and his soring killing intent had no effect. Moreover, he was unable to escape the attack of two people even after running left and right. He hastily turned around and saw the masked old man was sneaking away. He had decisively chosen the weakest place in the line of defense of Cloud Mist Sect to break out of this encirclement. He had even left his followers without any care. ¡°Old man, why are you in a hurry like this?¡± Early prepared Ye Chuan leisurely came out from behind a tree. He used his unparalleled style technique to block the path of this old man and said, ¡°The weather is truly nice today, let¡¯s talk about the weather.¡± The masked old man kept his mouth shut and turned to flee. The result, a shadow flashed and Ye Chuan was already in front of him blocking his path. ¡°If you don¡¯t like talking about the weather, then fine, let¡¯s change the subject of the talk. Old man, how about we talk about this battle? You say, can Tuoba Xiong still take a few more hits?¡± Ye Chuan smiled looking at this masked old man. And looking over to that side, he saw Tuoba Xiong was losing more and more, and his smile became even more brilliant. But seeing this smile, the masked old man was even more frightened. There was no suspense now, Cloud Mist Sect was destined to unify the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range, slowly returning to its peak state. Now, this masked old man had already given up his thought to forcibly seize Cloud Mist Mountain Range. He just wanted to escape alive from here. The masked old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and again turned around, the result, just like before, before he could take a few steps, Ye Chuan already blocked his path. ¡°Old fox, since you don¡¯t want to chat about the weather, and also don¡¯t want to chat about the battle, that¡¯s fine, but this is the last chance, let¡¯s talk about your origin. Speak everything you know, how did you assume the position of Dark Underworld Emissary, who is instigating all these behind the scenes, what is your objective, speak everything. If I am happy, I will leave your corpse intact, otherwise, I will make you suffer bitterly.¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at this masked old man who had nowhere to run. Then with a rustling sounds, 12 human faced snakes slowly came out from the grove, completely surrounding this old man. ¡°What Dark Underworld Emissary? I don¡¯t understand, noble son Ye, you got the wrong person.¡± The gaze of old man glimmered as he denied while looking for a chance to break out of this encirclement. ¡°You can die without admitting, but, that is useless, Rhodes¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan called out loudly and a vine emerged from the ground, transforming into a stern middle-aged man, then laughing strangely, he said, ¡°Noble son, did you look for me?¡± ¡°Last time you said that you can change a person into a dried corpse sucking hisblood, and you can change him into neither alive nor dead puppet absorbing his vital yang, can you truly do that?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Yes, I can, it is not a big deal. I can change people into living mummy, moreover, pouring a bucket of ox and horse blood, he would have flesh and blood too. As for changing him into neither alive nor dead puppet by sucking the vital yang, it is even easier. If noble son wants, this subordinate can plant this old fellow underground, changing him into a half human half demon too. His upper body will remain unchanged but his lower body will change into a vine. There is no problem, kakaka¡­¡­¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily. After sucking the essence blood and vital yang of a large number of the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, not only his cultivation made progress, his appearance also had a great change. Now, he looked much younger than before, his withered body also began to look full, and there were many signs of returning to his youth. This signs made this old evil spirit burst with joy. When he had first submitted to Ye Chuan, he still had some reluctance. Now, even if Ye Chuan freed him, he will not leave. In these few days he had stayed with Ye Chuan, he had made such a great progress that now he had a hope to match those exceedingly powerful evil spirits of Five Fingered Buddhist Cave in future. He had escaped from Five Fingered Buddhist Cave for his life. Outside, he could summon wind and rain, but inside Five Fingered Buddhist Cave, he was just a small demon who was not worth mentioning. If he hadn¡¯t escaped, then he might have already died. But, just escaping wasn¡¯t his dream, his dream was to return to Five Fingered Buddhist Cave one day and crush those exceedingly powerful evil spirits he didn¡¯t even dare to look up at that time. He cultivated in Five Fingered Mount Yin for many years by himself, but he didn¡¯t see any hope to achieve this dream. So, he could only satisfy his craving in the midst of ordinary yao beasts. But beside Ye Chuan, he saw the hope of returning to Five Fingered Buddhist Cave one day. One could clearly see the fear in the eyes of this masked old man. The words of Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was truly frightening. Directly dying was much simpler as all the troubles end when he died, and changing into dried corpse also fine, in any case, he would see nothing after death. But changing into half human and half vine demon, he would definitely go insane. ¡°Old man, think over clearly, if you have anything to say, just say them quickly, I have to hurry back to Cloud Mist Sect to water the medicinal plants. I will give you ten seconds, if you still not speak, then you will also be planted to the ground, 10¡­¡­, 9¡­¡­, 8¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan indifferently looked at this masked old man and began to countdown. From the beginning, he didn¡¯t appear to be taking this old man seriously. But, he had spoken one thing seriously, it was time to water and nurse Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed. According to his calculation, it had already been a period of time since he had last taken care of it. He wondered how big it has grown now. The chest of this masked old man rose and fell rapidly as he felt that this was the greatest humiliation he had ever felt. Originally, he wanted to bargain with Ye Chuan and watch for his chance to break out of this encirclement, but he had never thought that Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t even give any chance to bargain. He sweated profusely. Although he had many schemes and intrigues and also had stomachful of evil tricks, but in front of Ye Chuan, all were useless. He didn¡¯t have much time to do anything. ¡°Brat, I will fight you to death.¡± The masked man suddenly turned the Dark Underworld Ring in his hand and spared no effort to rush towards Ye Chuan. A large amount of black mist appeared in the sky which condensed into many extremely vicious specters. Numerous specters pounced on towards Ye Chuan, but the masked old man suddenly changed direction at a high speed. He wanted to take this chance to break out of this encirclement. He played the same old trick to forcibly break out of this encirclement. Countless vines suddenly sprang out from the ground. They routed all specters. The Old Demon of Mount Yin suddenly made a move dealing with the attack of this masked old man. Meanwhile, 12 human faced snakes also rushed forward, they surrounded the masked old man who was trying to run away and initiated violent attacks. Very soon, the old man was repeatedly thrashed. He was injured all over and was covered with blood. His most powerful attack was suppressed by Old Demon of Mount Yin, and he himself was surrounded by 12 powerful human faced snakes. And at one side, there furthermore were Ye Chuan, Little Long¡¯er, Sea Demoness and other experts glaring him like a tiger eyeing its prey. Even if he was given a pair of wings, he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape from here. Not long after, he fell to the ground dripping with blood. Ye Chuan pulled off the black mask of the old man from far away, and a familiar face appeared before him. He had an emaciated triangular face without much flesh, and his left chest had a black tattoo. He was none other than the stall-keeper in Underground Ghost Market he had seen a few times, Exploiter Hu. [T/N: Exploiter Hu make the first appearance in chapter 40] ¡°Eh, it turned out to be you.¡± This was beyond the expectation of Ye Chuan. When Ye Chuan first saw him at that time, he thought that this old man Exploiter Hu was just eccentric, unsociable and indifferent. But to his surprise, he unexpectedly had another identity. Becoming the outer sect disciple of Five Style Sect, he was lying low in Underground Ghost Market. He hid so deeply, no wonder he was able to appear and disappear mysteriously in Cloud Mist Mountain Range. ¡°Hahaha, brat, even if you kill me, you will also not obtain what you need. Dark Underworld Archfiend will avenge me, you will also not live for long, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Exploiter Hu roared with laughter and his head suddenly slanted to one side as his laughter ceased abruptly. Then, from the corner of his mouth, black blood flowed out and he stopped breathing. Since he was unable to break out of this encirclement, he committed suicide like his death soldier subordinates, leaving no clues behind for his opponent. Chapter 301: Hero past prime Chapter 301: Hero past prime Dark Underworld Emissary died and the overall situation was decided. The surviving disciples of Black Cauldron Sect threw their arms and came out to surrender lowering their head. Only Tuoba Xiong was still putting up a desperate struggle. He roared repeatedly and dashed ahead regardless of his safety, but everything was just a futile effort. He was completely suppressed by Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. If Ye Chuan had not ordered them to capture him alive, then he would have already died many times. A formidable man with the commanding presence of former days reached a dead end. Tuoba Xiong also knew that he was making a futile effort, but he would rather die than submit swallowing the grievance. Although he was unreasonable and overbearing, compared to Dark Underworld Emissary who wanted to sneak off when the circumstance was anything but reassuring, he was many times stronger than him at this point. ¡°Father, father¡­¡­¡± A soft voice suddenly resounded. At an unknown time, Tuoba Xiaoniao also had arrived at the battlefield. Now, her complexion was wan and sallow. She supported her fragile body and walked over as she said, ¡°Father, lay down the bronze cauldron and surrender, father¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiong paused and slowly turned around. Seeing the suffering expression of Tuoba Xiaoniao, a complicated emotion flashed in his eyes as he recalled his wife who had died many years ago. After growing up, Tuoba Xiaoniao greatly resembled her mother, and her temperament was also similar, which evoked the memories of Tuoba Xiong when he was young. ¡°Father, don¡¯t fight anymore, hereafter, this daughter will accompany you to look for a peaceful and quiet place to pass our life, isn¡¯t that fine?¡± The eyes of Tuoba Xiaoniao were bright red as tears flowed down her cheeks. Considering her, Ye Chuan was lenient and had spared the life of her father Tuoba Xiaoniao. He hadn¡¯t dealt with her father like how he had dealt with Dark Underground Emissary Exploiter Hu. But, if her father obstinately persisted on like this, then Tuoba Xiaoniao understood that Ye Chuan would not be softhearted and kill him decisively. As a matter of fact, people that wanted to accomplish big matters were the same in some places, they will never be softhearted like dainty and delicate girls. ¡°What don¡¯t fight anymore, Xiaoniao, do you want your father to go into retirement, or, spend the remainder of my life in prison?¡± Tuoba Xiong smiled sadly, then the blood and qi within his body suddenly seethed. He gathered his strength to put up a final desperate struggle. If he couldn¡¯t rush out, then he would die here. Rumbling sound suddenly resounded. Regardless of Horned Demon Na Gusi behind him, he initiated a ferocious attack towards Flame Devil in front of him. He wanted to exchange a life for a life. Either Flame Devil would get out of the way or die together with him. Even though the strength was higher, facing a madman who didn¡¯t fear for his life, anyone would yield three-tenth. Flame Devil was also the same, he decisively retreated a few steps to dodge the attack of Tuoba Xiong. And at the same time, a sharp spear appeared behind Tuoba Xiong which directly stabbed towards his back. Horned Demon Na Gusi who was behind Tuoba Xiong had ferociously thrust his spear. Now, either Tuoba Xiong had to turn around and block or dodge sideways, otherwise, he would be stabbed by this spear. ¡°Kill.¡± The complexion of Tuoba Xiong was ferocious. He ignored the spear behind him and continued to forcibly advance towards Flame Devil. He wanted to break through this encirclement in a spurt of energy. Flame Devil coldly snorted and extended his hand to block, confronting the tough with toughness. Meanwhile, the spear coming from behind nearly reached the back of Tuoba Xiong. As long as this powerful stab come into contact with his back, a big hole would be created. ¡°No¡­¡­, father¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao screamed. She wished to use her flying sword and rush up to save her father, but she was already too late. A big hand suddenly appeared and firmly grabbed the spear behind Tuoba Xiong. The sharp tip of the spear had just touched the back of Tuoba Xiong. A bit of blood flowed out from the wound, but it wasn¡¯t even an inch deep wound. Ye Chuan suddenly appeared blocking the fatal blow of Horned Demon Na Gusi. Then the latter and Flame Devil took a quick glance and retreated a few steps back. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you allow them to kill me? Why?¡± Tuoba Xiong panted and he still carried a heavy cauldron on his shoulders. But his body had already begun to tremble slightly. His energy was already exhausted. Still, he glared at Ye Chuan like a wild beast as he said, ¡°Why? Brat, could it be that you want to humiliate this lordship before attacking?¡± ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, you are thinking too much. In Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, you helped me stop the attack of Elder Feng Ren one time, so I save you once. Now, we don¡¯t owe anything to each other, you can leave.¡± Ye Chuan indifferent said. Everyone was surprised hearing this. Tuoba Xiong had his eyes wide open as he thought he had heard wrong. Tuoba Xiaoniao was also the same. She had never thought that Ye Chuan would unexpectedly let go of her father. Not killing was already pretty good, she had assumed that Ye Chuan would at least imprison her father. Releasing her father, could it be that Ye Chuan didn¡¯t fear to leave future trouble? ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia came over. She wanted to stop Ye Chuan. Who was Tuoba Xiong? He was an ambitious person who singlehandedly developed and strengthened Black Cauldron Sect in his generation. Setting him free, wouldn¡¯t that be letting the tiger return to the mountain? Black Cauldron Sect ceased to exist, but who knows how many remaining evil elements were hiding in the dark. Just in case, after letting Tuoba Xiong go, if he assembled them then it would be difficult to annihilate them again. ¡°Jiajia, don¡¯t say anything, let him go.¡± Ye Chuan remained unmoved, then the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect quickly made way. Even Flame Devil who had been blocking Tuoba Xiong also walked to one side. Entrusted with the authority of the sect, in addition, destroying both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect in own fell swoop, unifying the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range, now the prestige of Ye Chuan had reached the apex without rival in Cloud Mist Sect. Now, let alone Zhu Sijia, even if Great Elder Zhu Guohong was present in person, he might be unable to stop the command of Ye Chuan. ¡°Boy, don¡¯t you fear that I will kill you in revenge?¡± Tuoba Xiong looked at Ye Chuan with a complicated gaze. ¡°I dared to let you go, naturally, I don¡¯t fear your retaliation. Your Excellency Sect Master, you aren¡¯t my opponent now, and in the future, you will not be my opponent even more.¡± Ye Chuan was full of confidence. One could even say that he was wildly arrogant, but no one felt this was improper. Because, even though this was crazy, Ye Chuan also had qualification and skill for speaking this. ¡°Good, good, Ye Chuan, you are awesome. In the past, I made an error of judgment. But, I will not let the matter drop like this, one day, I, Tuoba Xiong will return.¡± Tuoba Xiong left behind these words and left in large strides throwing the heavy cauldron on his shoulders to one side. He didn¡¯t even want to take this big killing weapon, he wanted to leave Cloud Mist Mountain range and look for a place to stage a comeback. He had determined attitude with lofty aspiration, merely, his steps were somewhat staggering and heavy. He didn¡¯t have his overbearing and prideful attitude of former days. Without numerous trusted aides he had cultivated for many years and burnt down of Black Cauldron Sect, moreover, leaving a familiar Cloud Mist Mountain Range and looking for a place to stage a comeback, this was easier said than done. Hero past prime. Tuoba Xiong would rather die than submit. From the beginning to the end, he couldn¡¯t swallow this resentment, he was determined to stage a comeback, unfortunately, he had already grown old. Current Wilderness World already belonged to the generation of young people like Ye Chuan. ¡°Father, father¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao repeatedly called out. Tuoba Xiong however left without even looking back. Seeing the back view of her father was getting further and further away, she turned around and reluctantly looked at Ye Chuan, then resolutely chased after her father. Between romantic love and family love, she chose family love, she left Ye Chuan with tears in her eyes. Ye Chuan had strong soldiers, moreover, Zhu Sijia, this kind of beautiful woman, beside him, but her father Tuoba Xiong, he had nothing to his name, so he cannot again lose even his daughter. ¡°Noble son Ye, I¡¯m sorry, if there is next life, Xiaoniao will not beg to stay young forever and also will not beg for immortality, only beg to be able to become a little junior apprentice sister of Cloud Mist Sect and accompany you to old¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao muttered to herself as she rushed behind a small hill. She turned her head and looked at Ye Chuan from far away and her eyes became blurred with tears. Then using her flying sword, she flew away, keeping pace with her willful father. Father and daughter went further and further away and disappeared into the horizon. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, why don¡¯t you bring back big sister Xiaoniao?¡± Little Long¡¯er asked. ¡°When she wished to return, I don¡¯t need to go bring her back, she will naturally return on her own.¡± Ye Chuan reached out his hand and rubbed the head of Little Long¡¯er, then he returned towards Cloud Mist Sect. He left all the matters to Zhu Sijia, Flame Devil and others. Now that both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect had ceased to exist, he concentrated his energy to counter the upcoming Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect. Chapter 302: The identity of Archfiend Chapter 302: The identity of Archfiend Returning to Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan quickly enter the seclusion cultivation. With the addition of Flame Devil, Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes and other powerful entourages along with Zhu Sijia gradually showing her brilliance, Ye Chuan had to spend less and less time on everyday matters. So, he focused on cultivation. Competing against a person, he could fight a battle of wits, but if he wanted to set foot on the pinnacle of cultivation and achieve even greater brilliance in this lifetime, then he must put great effort in cultivation without getting lazy. Resourcefulness is nothing, playing tricks is also useless, only the strength is real. Everyone was extremely excited because both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect were eliminated and the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range was unified, but this was nothing for Ye Chuan. The gaze of Ye Chuan had long been looking outside Cloud Mist Mountain Range. His sight was set on the entire Wilderness World. As a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage who once ruled the entire Wilderness World, how could he have a peace of mind trapped in this small place? Sitting cross-legged in Cloud Mist Hall, a fine and continuous pure worldly spiritual qi flooded downwards from the sky and poured into his body. The Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body circulated and eagerly absorbed this majestic pure spiritual qi. In his dantain, a blurred phantom of a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman gradually appeared. It became more and more solid, but was unable to truly take a shape. Ye Chuan also take no care of it, he didn¡¯t hesitate to stop the silent contemplation, and the energy fluctuation of circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans slowly became peaceful. After that, he took out a black ring and carefully observed it. This was the Dark Underworld Ring he had taken from the hand of Dark Underworld Emissary Exploiter Hu. It looked ordinary, but he had personally seen the power of this ring used by Dark Underworld Emissary. Ye Chuan knew that this was definitely not a normal ring. It had profound mysteries and might. It was very likely that this was the treasure given to Dark Underworld Emissary Exploiter Hu by the so-called Dark Underworld Archfiend. In Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, when Ye Chuan ran into the experts of capital¡¯s Long Clan, he thought that Dark Underworld Emissary Exploiter Hu had already returned to the capital. As it now seems, there was some divergence with his conjecture. Perhaps, Dark Underworld Emissary Exploiter Hu immediately took action. After learning there was a loophole to exploit, he rapidly returned from the capital to deal with Cloud Mist Sect, or perhaps, from the start, the number of Dark Underground Emissary was not limited to one. Dark Underworld Archfiend might have secretly dispatched many trusted aides to various regions to stir up troubles. And this Dark Underworld Ring was a treasure bestowed to them which would also verify their identity. Ye Chuan quietly deduced, discarding his conjecture of before. So should he refine this Dark Underworld Ring or not? Ye Chuan hesitated. Refining this Dark Underworld Ring, perhaps, he would have another piece of body protecting treasure, and he might even be able to disguise himself as a Dark Underworld Emissary one day to uncover Dark Underworld Archfiend behind the scenes. But like this, it was very likely that he would alert that powerful and mysterious Dark Underworld Archfiend, attracting a heaven-defying expert to seek to kill him. Even more, it was likely that he might encounter unexpected mishaps during the process of refining. Every heaven-defying expert often has unique and powerful means. It was normal for them to left behind some spirit brand in their treasure. Even if an ordinary person found this kind of treasure, they would not be able to refine it, and forcibly refining it, they could suffer a terrifying spirit attack. In his previous life when he concealed the heaven, Ye Chuan was very familiar to this kind of means. After thinking for a while, Ye Chuan left Cloud Mist Hall and quickly arrived at Heavenly Dragon Peak beside Evil Dragon Abyss. He activated Demon Annihilating Formation left behind by cyan robed Seventh Elder, then huge Buddha statue guards slowly rose from underground. After the preparation was complete, a three inches flame appeared on his palm which slowly melted this Dark Underworld Ring. Since Heaven Burning Furnace had already become worthless, Ye Chuan had to gradually raise the temperature of the flame in person. The Dark Underworld Ring began to melt, and when it turned into the liquid state, he blew a mouthful of yuan qi and also dripped a drop of essence blood while using a secret refining technique. Everything was smooth without any abnormality till here, but when the blood of Ye Chuan began to seep into this Dark Underworld Ring, a ferocious power suddenly burst out. Roar, an ear-splitting roar resounded. In Heavenly Dragon Peak, all the glasses suddenly shattered, and a few guards patrolling at the foot of the mountain covered their ears with their hands and collapsed. Blood was flowing out from their ears, I seemed their eardrums were ruptured, changing them into a deaf person. Looking from a distance, one could see that with Heavenly Dragon Peak as the center, a powerful airwave rapidly spread in all directions, forming a huge vortex in the sky. ¡°Just this means.¡± Ye Chuan remained unmoved without any change in his expression and continued to refine the Dark Underworld Ring in his hand. A few guards patrolling at the foot of the mountain were caught unprepared but he was already well prepared. Although this sudden and unexpected sound wave was powerful, it was still unable to cause any fatal damage to him. An ice-cold energy changed into a cold current and flowed into the body of Ye Chuan from this Dark Underworld Ring. On the surface of Ye Chuan¡¯s body, along with cracking sounds, a layer of ice instantly appeared. But the cold current continued to flow within his body wanting to freeze his internal organs and blood. Ye Chuan circulated his Heaven Swallowing Talismans with all his power, but this was unexpectedly unable to resist that cold current and his body gradually became stiff and numb. Powerful. This is the means of Dark Underworld Archfiend. The countenance of Ye Chuan changed, then suddenly making a few movements, he mobilized Heaven Concealing Great Formation that enveloped the entire Cloud Mist Sect, forcibly suppressing the cold current that seeped into his body. This great killing formation which crushed unknown numbers of Sage realm experts in his previous life displayed its ferocious power. Mobilizing the strength of 108 towers, the cold current within his body was completely suppressed and was slowly forced out of his body. ¡°Who dared to challenge the will of this lordship, disturbing this lordship¡¯s quiet cultivation?¡± The cold current that seeped out from the body of Ye Chuan suddenly dazzled and transformed into a huge phantom. The facial features were indistinct but along with heaven destroying and earth exterminating might, his demonic qi was surging. He angrily roared and ferociously palmed towards Ye Chuan. The powerful palm wind created countless sonic booms. Ye Chuan still sat cross-legged on the ground, but his body swayed left and right. Just when he was about to use unparalleled style technique to dodge, one Buddha¡¯s statue suddenly came to life, then a low and deep sound of Buddhist hymns resounded as this Buddha attacked. That phantom of Dark Underworld Archfiend was forcibly suppressed, the Demon Annihilating Formation set up by cyan robed Seventh Elder was even better in this respect as it just happened to restrain all evil demons and heretics. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, Demon Annihilating Formation, boy, you are the descendant of the ancient Buddhist Sect.¡± A scream came through as this huge phantom completely vanished under the attack of Demon Annihilating Formation. Ding, a loud and clear sound resounded and the Buddha became quiet, reverting back to its original state of being an ice-cold stone statue, then sunk underground. As for the Dark Underground Ring in the hand of Ye Chuan, it took an entirely new look. Ye Chuan put on this ring and quickly, this ring became dim and disappeared. But with a thought of Ye Chuan, it again manifested, unexpectedly had a concealing function. He injected his energy into this finger and dark mist appeared around him with ferocious specters therein. It was not possible to deal with powerful experts with this ability, but when besieged by people, suddenly using this technique could show extraordinary effort. A few drops of cold sweat flowed down the face of Ye Chuan. The moment of just now as very dangerous. Fighting alone, he was far from being the opponent of Dark Underworld Archfiend, he couldn¡¯t even defeat his clone. But, now, he had one additional rare body protecting treasure, so it was worth the danger. Chapter 303: Rogue Bull Chapter 303: Rogue Bull For the next three days, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t leave Heavenly Dragon Peak. These three days, he was not only refining this Dark Underworld Ring, he practiced his life technique, Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, comprehending the mystery of heaven and earth. The higher the cultivation base, the more he realized the power of this technique he obtained in God Burial Valley. Without the help of Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, Six Winged Golden Cicada and other powerful yao beasts, the elimination of both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect wouldn¡¯t have been this smooth. A single Heaven Swallowing Talisman gave him 18,000 jin strength and a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman was on the verge of condensing, this made Ye Chuan have a full expectation for his next breakthrough. No one dared to disturb the seclusion cultivation of Ye Chuan. On the early morning of the fourth day, after Ye Chuan had opened his eyes, Zhu Sijia quickly walked over to report the situation of this period of time. After annexing both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, the strength of Cloud Mist Sect had increased vastly. Moreover, Cloud Mist Sect seized a large number of weapons, armors, crystal stones, pills and others things as the spoils of war, especially all kinds of crystal stones which were urgently needed by Cloud Mist Sect. Obtaining the additional crystal stones, now, Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t need to worry about exhausting the energy source for Heaven Concealing Great Formation that enveloped the entire sect. Even if Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect besieged them, they had enough crystal stones to use for a year or so. Like crystal stones, the more weapons, armors, pills and other spoils of war the better, but one matter that was relatively a bit thorny was the management of numerous captives. After this war, they had roughly 7000 captives. Among them, a section of them were odd-job men and servants, and the remaining considerable section were disciples of both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect. In the matter of dealing with these people, Cloud Mist Sect was having endless trouble in these past few days. Killing all of them was also unsuitable as that was against the heavenly principles; releasing them was also unsuitable as the information of Cloud Mist Mountain Range would be easily leaked, moreover, if they gathered together to form a band and take to the greenwood after leaving Cloud Mist Sect, then they might cause trouble to Cloud Mist Sect in the future; and detaining all of them will also get nowhere, Cloud Mist Sect couldn¡¯t support so many prisoners. Zhu Sijia was unable to solve this problem so she came to Ye Chuan to ask for instructions. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, release or kill, we are waiting for your order. Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect have not moved, but the later they come, their offense would be that more ferocious. We must resolve this thorny problem as soon as possible.¡± Zhu Sijia said. Originally, she agreed with killing all these captives to save troubles. But when all was said and done, this was not one or two people, rather full 7000 people, no matter how decisive she was, she also couldn¡¯t do it. ¡°Is there no movement in Da Qin Dynasty?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly asked seemingly it was an irrelevant thing. ¡°No, moreover, there is no news of my grandfather after he left for the capital and Da Qin Dynasty also has no movement.¡± Zhu Sijia frowned. She missed her grandfather Zhu Guohong but there was no news of him. If Cloud Mist Sect wasn¡¯t facing the danger of formidable enemies, then she might have already left to capital to look for her grandfather. ¡°This Da Qin King is truly keeping his composure. Or to say, he is only hissing to intimidate others and its fine to not hand over pills too, or to say, seeing the strength of our Cloud Mist Sect is rising now, he didn¡¯t dare to raise his hand.¡± Ye Chuan laughed to himself, after swallowing Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, the past Cloud Mist Sect already couldn¡¯t be compared with the present. But it still had no way to compare with Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect, this kind of giants. Clearly, Da Qin Dynasty either had its hand full dealing with some other matter for the moment or was brewing a powerful attack to wipe out Cloud Mist Mountain Range in own fell swoop. Sometimes, the rainstorm itself was not that terrifying, the eve before the rainstorm was truly had to bear. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what should we do now?¡± Zhu Sijia asked. ¡°It¡¯s very simple, dispatch these captives to annex the cities and towns around Cloud Mist Mountain Range.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°This¡­¡­, isn¡¯t this giving Da Qin Dynasty a pretext to attack? At that time, when army strikes¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia looked at Ye Chuan with confusion. ¡°If Da Qin Dynasty wants to attack, even if there is no pretext, they can find one. Since Da Qin Dynasty hasn¡¯t moved, we¡¯ll simply feel out and provoke them. Perhaps, we can force them to hastily attack in advance before they prepared completely. Whatever one says, it is a grey world around Cloud Mist Mountain Range, it can offer as a buffer zone for our Cloud Mist Sect to avoid the surprise attack of Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Ye Chuan replied. He had already thought deeply and planned carefully. Zhu Sijia was very surprised, but after calmly thinking for a while, this move of Ye Chuan was truly amazing. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, then how can we ensure that these captives will not be detrimental for us? How can we make them do their utmost to wipe out surrounding towns and cities?¡± Zhu Sijia thought deeply for a little while and quickly pointed out the critical point. Ye Chuan looked at Zhu Sijia with praise and said, ¡°That is also not difficult, encourage these people to go down the mountain and attack the lords occupying the surrounding lands and whoever is the best he would be the lord of that place. Moreover, reward them with top grade pills and cultivation techniques, and also help them grow stronger. Jiajia, rest assured, as long as they are released, their desire will grow bigger and bigger, and the bigger the power, the more they need our support. We don¡¯t need to appear personally and also don¡¯t need to especially do something, these people will scramble to work themselves to the bones for us. Naturally, what I am speaking is only a general direction. You can carefully discuss and plan with Flame Devil and others for the specific details, but move quickly.¡± ¡°Okay, I understand. Big Senior Apprentice Brother, all said that you are a terrifying evil spirit, and even a thousand-year-old fox is inferior to you, it seems, they are truly not wrong.¡± Zhu Sijia received the order and turned away, but just when she was about to walk out of the door, she suddenly turned around and said, ¡°In addition, according to the report of spies, Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Xiaoniao boarded a small wooden boat going out to the sea. They want to go far away from Cloud Mist Sect looking for the land of immortals overseas. Hereafter, you will no longer be able to see Tuoba Xiaoniao, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, aren¡¯t you very broken-hearted?¡± ¡°I am not broken-hearted, since junior apprentice-sister Jiajia is beside me, I am perfectly content. I am a bull and you are a field, in this lifetime, being able to live beside this 1 mu field, I am very satisfied. I can plow and weed throughout my life.¡± Ye Chuan replied with a bad smile. ¡°Hoodlum, no, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you are Rogue Bull more barbarian than a barbarian bull.¡± Zhu Sijia rolled her eyes and left. She looked angry on the surface but was feeling sweet in her heart for an unknown reason. Being able to live near me, this 1 Mu field throughout the life, pei, Ye Chuan, you truly know how to speak without caring whether she would feel shy or not. After Zhu Sijia left, the smile on the face of Ye Chuan slowly disappeared. Now, he looked somewhat lonely as a weak and delicate figure emerged and lingered in his mind. ¡°Xiaoniao, is it better for you if you are farther away from me?¡± Ye Chuan sighed. If Tuoba Xiaoniao was still in Da Qin Dynasty, then it wouldn¡¯t be hard to go look for her. But since she had gone overseas, there was only a tiny chance for them to reunite. According to the legend, at the end of the East Sea, there was the ancient island of the immortals. For millions of years, an unknown number of people had gone to look for this legendary island, but up until now, there was no one who had ever truly found it. Moreover, being floated to an isolated island of overseas, many of them had committed suicide unable to bear their loneliness. ¡°Eh, that sea demoness, perhaps¡­¡­¡± Thinking of the vast sea, Ye Chuan suddenly had a thought and he summoned Sea Demoness Hai Lili. If he was looking for someone around who knew the situation of overseas islands, then this sea demoness was a perfect choice. Chapter 304: That picture is too beautiful Chapter 304: That picture is too beautiful In Heavenly Dragon Hall, sea demoness Hai Lili spoke practically everything he already knew. At this time, Ye Chuan discovered that he had nearly missed a talent. According to sea demoness Hai Lili, Sea Demon Clan was a different race of sea, lying between sea yao beasts and island residents. In the eyes of sea yao beasts, they were a different race that could live in the dry land. In the eyes of the residents of islands, they were also a different race that could live in the sea and summon wind and rain. As for Sea Demon Clan themselves, they claim themselves to be the descendants of the Emperor of the Sea. In the sea, they were aloof, refined and superior to all sea yao beasts and residents of islands. Furthermore, their greatest innate skill wasn¡¯t the Song of Sea Demon that dazed people in illusion rather was changing wind direction and ocean current. This kind of innate skill was practically useless in the dry land, but in the sea, it was heaven-defying. Therefore, regardless of island residents or sea yao beasts, all had misgivings towards this Sea Demons that could come and go like a shadow. In every legend, there was no shortage of abusive words towards Sea Demons and every time, they find any trace of Sea Demons, everyone would rush up in crowds and insanely chase them to kill as among the experts of the sects and loose cultivators scattered in every corner of overseas, killing a Sea Demon was a great glory. In many places, after the people of Sea Demon Clan were caught, all would beat them until they were severely injured, then they would be tied to a wooden pole and erected in the seashore, drying them to death under the sun. Because of the double pressure from both residents of islands and sea yao beasts, along with the deteriorating environment, the number of Sea Demon Clan had become fewer and fewer. Hai Lili was the Sea Demon Princess of this generation. This time, she had received instruction to escort the most valuable treasure of Sea Demon Clan, Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed, to an island of the far east sea along with her big brother and others and see whether they could grow Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed there. According to the legend, eating this Heavenly Dragon Rice which was the food of the divine in ancient times, Sea Demon Clan could awaken the power of their ancestor, Emperor of the Sea. Then, they will be able to control all seas and oceans under the heaven once again, and all the places with water will become the territory of Sea Demon Clan. Unfortunately, before Hai Lili and her group could reach halfway to the far east sea area, they were ambushed by Blacksnake Clan of east sea prefecture. After the repetitive battle, they suffered heavy casualties, the big brother of Hai Lili died in battle and Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed fell in the hand of Blacksnake Clan¡¯s young master Dark Tree Monarch. Fortunately, Blacksnake Clan didn¡¯t know all about the goods, they didn¡¯t know what Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed inside the wooden box was, so Dark Tree Monarch traveled across the vast seas and come to the Underground Ghost Market of Cloud Mist Mountain Range along with Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed. He wanted to secretly learn the secrets of Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed from the experts of the mainland, but the result was they, unfortunately, encountered Ye Chuan. ¡°So, that was the case.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, it could be considered that Sea Demoness Hai Lili had already been beside him for a long time, but this was the first time he learned her past and background. After a pause, Ye Chuan looked at this Sea Demoness with a smile yet not a smile and said, ¡°Hai Lili, then, since I snatch your Sea Demon Clan¡¯s most valuable treasure, Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed, don¡¯t you hate me? If your clansmen know this, then wouldn¡¯t they flood Cloud Mist Sect, or, hereafter, I cannot go to the sea?¡± ¡°No, Hai Lili doesn¡¯t dare, now this little woman is noble son¡¯s, how can this little woman dare to resent noble son? This little woman only has one request, after Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed grows up and Heavenly Dragon Rice is harvested in the future, can noble son bestow a small portion to our Sea Demon Clan? Noble son, you can rest assured, we will not take Heavenly Dragon Rice noble son strenuously grew for free, we will definitely pay a large number of specialties and various kind of worldly treasures of four seas every year.¡± Sea Demoness bowed respectfully to Ye Chuan. Sea Demon Clan took such a great risk to escort Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed to far east sea area because they ardently hoped that the Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed passed down from generation to generation might take root and germinate there. But, even if they had successfully reached the destination, it was still unknown whether it could successfully grow there. But, beyond the expectation of everyone, Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed was robbed away and due to a strange combination of circumstance, it fell into the hands of Ye Chuan, moreover, he successfully planted it. If her clansmen learn this matter, they might be overjoyed with excitement. ¡°This¡­¡­, I fear this is somewhat difficult. Hai Lili, you also know that the output of Heavenly Dragon Rice is not high and my Cloud Mist Sect has so many people¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan intentionally teased Hai Lili, waiting for the highest bid and he was also somewhat curious about what kind of worldly treasures could Sea Demon Clan offer him. Even though he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage in his previous life, he didn¡¯t know much about the overseas world and now this just happened to be a good opportunity. ¡°Noble son, rest assured. We don¡¯t need much as only a very few of us remains.¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili anxiously looked up to Ye Chuan. She had a broad forehead and fine eyebrows, and no need to mention that her figure was gentle and graceful, perhaps because she lived in the water throughout her life, her skin was especially fine and smooth, making people have the impulse to feel her. Seeing the charming appearance of Sea Demoness Hai Lili, Ye Chuan became absent-minded. Only after a while, he came to his sense and said, ¡°This¡­¡­, let¡¯s talk about this in the future, although Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed has already taken root and germinated, it is still unknown when it would yield Heavenly Dragon Rice.¡± ¡°Noble son, this little woman can help you take care of Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed. Our Sea Demon Clan has an ancient book passed down from generation to generation which especially talked about how to cultivate Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed, in addition, in addition¡­¡­¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili made as if to speak and then stopped. After that, her beautiful face became red and lowering her head, she said in a low voice while stammering, ¡°In addition, if noble son demands, this little woman can¡­¡­, can call the sisters of Sea Demon Clan¡­¡­, and¡­, and serve¡­.., serve noble son together. Whatever noble wants us to do, we will do everything.¡± The voice of Hai Lili became smaller and smaller and she was so embarrassed that she didn¡¯t dare to raise her head to look at Ye Chuan. But, even though she was embarrassed to this state, she plucked up her courage and finished what she wanted to say. That expression, that tone, she appeared as if even if Ye Chuan executed her on the spot, she would meekly resign herself and she believed that she could offer her everything to Ye Chuan. ¡°Eh, Hai Lili, in your heart, what kind of person am I, Ye Chuan?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. He was waiting for Hai Lili to speak out about some worldly treasures of the sea, but to his surprise, Hai Lili took the initiative to offer herself. What kind of person was he in her mind? Moreover, she still said that she would call the sisters of her clan, this was truly¡­¡­, that scene was too beautiful that he didn¡¯t dare to imagine. Ye Chuan shook his head, but returning to the main topic, Hai Lili standing in front of him truly was quite heart-warming. In the past life, he had all kinds of peerless beauties beside him, but he had truly not tasted the flavor of Sea Demoness. Sea Demoness Hai Lili lowered her head without uttering a word as she didn¡¯t know how to answer Ye Chuan. Sea Demon Clan furthermore had a special characteristic she didn¡¯t speak. Whoever took the virginity of a girl of Sea Demon Clan, he would have a certain probability of obtaining the innate skill of Sea Demon Clan. For numerous natives and loose cultivators of overseas, this was the temptation that they craved so much that they even dream about it. For millions of years, all forces were pursuing and capturing Sea Demons not only because of the simple matter of them fearing the innate skill of Sea Demon Clan, even more, because of greed. Ye Chaun was young and promising, his body was also robust and doughty. If the younger generation women of Sea Demon Clan devoted themselves to him, then, he would have a higher chance to obtain the innate skill of Sea Demon Clan without precedent in history. At that time, the relation of Cloud Mist Sect and Sea Demon Clan would become especially stable, supporting each other. This was a good thing for both sides. Merely, such matters, how could she say to Ye Chuan? Sea demoness Hai Lili slightly raised her head and quietly took a glance at Ye Chuan, then quickly lowered her head. Now, her beautiful face became so red that it appeared as if she would bleed at any time. She truly didn¡¯t know how to say that? Chapter 305: The sudden change in the abyss Chapter 305: The sudden change in the abyss Ye Chuan also saw the difficult expression of Sea Demoness Hai Lili and he no longer teased this innocent woman. He quickly changed the topic, ¡°Hai Lili, do you know where the overseas island of the immortals is? ¡°Overseas island of the immortals?¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili shook her head, looking clueless, then she said as if she had never heard of it, ¡°Noble son, I don¡¯t know what overseas island of the immortals is. But, according to the ancient record of our Sea Demon Clan, there are some forbidden places in the vast sea that no one enters. Perhaps, the place you are looking for is inside there. Later, if there is an opportunity, then I can personally bring you there to take a look.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. In his previous life when he concealed the heaven, he hadn¡¯t explored the overseas world, this had been his regret. In this life, he could naturally not miss this chance. Of course, everything had to wait until he dealt with the upcoming storm. He could talk about it more after Cloud Mist Sect stabilizes. ¡°Hai Lili, then can you help me ask about someone?¡± ¡°Who?¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili asked looking confused. She didn¡¯t know much about this mainland world, how could she help Ye Chuan ask about someone? But, she quickly understood, ¡°Noble son, is that person at sea?¡± ¡°Correct, her name is Tuoba Xiaoniao.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and slowly added, ¡°Use your networks and resources to inquire about the whereabouts and the position of Tuoba Xiaoniao. Any news you got, report it back to me, don¡¯t disturb her life. Contact your people as soon as possible. As for now, come with me to take a look at how Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed is doing.¡± Ye Chuan stood up and strode out. Behind him, Sea Demoness Hai Lili followed closely. Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed was planted nearby and he hadn¡¯t seen it for a period of time. Now, it had already grown up to a small tree that was half as tall as an adult person from a small shoot. It was fresh green full of vitality. ¡°Heavenly Dragon Tree. From a small shoot, it has grown up to such a tall Heavenly Dragon Tree so quickly.¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili quickly rushed up and carefully examining this small tree from all around, she was excited. For millions of years, Sea Demon Clan had drifted all over the sea to look for a place where this Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed could take root and germinate, wanting to grow Heavenly Dragon Rice to make their clan recover the power of their ancestor Emperor of the Sea. Unfortunately, even after drifting all around the sea, they ended up with an empty hand. They couldn¡¯t find a suitable place in the vast sea. ¡°Now, I finally understand, Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed cannot be grown on the island, only the mainland has the suitable soil to grow it. No wonder, my clansmen were unable to grow Heavenly Dragon Rice for millions of years. As it turned out, we were wrong, completely wrong.¡± The more Sea Demoness Hai Lili looked Heavenly Dragon Tree, the more excited she became. She suddenly turned to Ye Chuan and bowed as she said, ¡°Noble son, let me stay here and take care of this Heavenly Dragon Tree. According to the ancient book passed down in our clan, only after it grow two meters tall, it will begin producing Heavenly Dragon Rice. This place has dense worldly spiritual qi, furthermore, a steady supply of continuous pure yang qi, there is mountain and also water, the weather is also good, moreover, can see the distant sea, this is the best place to plant Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed according to the ancient book. But now that there isn¡¯t anyone to especially take care of it, you can see that some leaves are eaten by insects and some leaves are turning yellow, someone need to take care of it. Every Heavenly Dragon Tree needs someone to especially take care of it and I am the best choice for that. Noble son, is that okay?¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili volunteered her service, moreover, she knew more about Heavenly Dragon Tree than Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan was just prompted by a sudden impulse to plant it, hoping to be able to harvest Heavenly Dragon Rice someday to improve the physique of his followers. But for Sea Demoness Hai Lili and her clansmen, this nevertheless was a long cherished dream that had continued for millions of years. ¡°Okay, Hai Lili, hereafter, you are especially responsible to take care of Heavenly Dragon Tree. Furthermore, also plant this Mist Bamboo.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and took out a young plant of Mist Bamboo he had obtained in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm and handed over to Sea Demoness Hai Lili. Just like Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed, this was also a kind of long extinct ancient worldly treasure tree. ¡°Thank you, noble son, furthermore, it might take some time before my clansmen hear the news and rush over, at that time, you can let them take care of this Heavenly Dragon Tree together.¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili respectfully bowed and said. ¡°No problem, Cloud Mist Sect is so big, even if you brought over one thousand or ten thousand clansmen, we can provide them with a place to stay.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and looking at the graceful figure of Sea Demoness Hai Lili, he couldn¡¯t refrain from recalling those words she had spoken. So-called calling her clansmen to take care of Heavenly Dragon Tree together, this was only an excuse to call her good sisters. Not many were needed, as long as about a dozen Sea Demoness like Hai Lili line up in front of him and do whatever he wanted them to do, that would be¡­¡­ Ye Chuan hastily stopped imagining and didn¡¯t dare to think again, completely cutting off his evil thoughts. Recently, his mind easily wandered, what was going on? Was this the omen of the upcoming storm or his heart demon was about to come. Ye Chuan suddenly became alert, the feelings of a true expert can never fluctuate casually, this was the sign of instability. Whoosh, along with a burst of cold wind, the small heavenly Dragon tree swayed. Sea Demoness Hai Lili was occupied with taking care of Heavenly Dragon Tree. She was carefully picking up worms crawling on the branches and leaves. She was absorbed in examining each leaf. Ye Chuan however slightly pricked up his ears, and listening carefully, along with the whistling wind, there seemed to be some sound. And analyzing carefully, there seemed to be a vague roaring sound in the midst of the wind. It was a horrible shriek and the voice seemed to be vaguely familiar. In addition, a vague sound of chains dragging on the ground could also be heard. ¡°This is¡­¡­, a voice is coming from the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss.¡± Ye Chuan suddenly turned around and strode towards the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss. Now, compared to former days, Evil Dragon Abyss was somewhat different to some extent. When the wind blew, the blood mist with corroding attribute rapidly rose and some overflowed from Evil Dragon Abyss; and after the wind, this blood mist would withdraw all the way to several meters down, like the tide of a sea. And that strange voice came from the bottom of the Evil Dragon Abyss when rising. Such circumstance had never happened before. Ye Chuan was surprised and become alert. Now, this Evil Dragon Abyss gave him more and more dangerous feeling. At this critical juncture, if a truly peerless evil spirit jumped out from this Evil Dragon Abyss, then no needed to speak that that would be fatal, just rushing out and wantonly destroying the restrictions and magic formations of Cloud Mist Sect would sufficiently inflict deadly damage. Like that, Cloud Mist Sect would no longer be able to respond to the attack of Heavenly Yao Sect or Da Qin Dynasty. ¡°The tides of heaven and earth are chaotic, the ancient restriction at the bottom of this Evil Dragon Abyss has also loosened, it cannot be deduced using common sense.¡± A faint voice suddenly came from behind. Ye Chuan turned around and discovered that cyan robed man who claimed himself to be Seventh Elder. He had quietly arrived behind him without anybody knowing. Even after breaking through to Rank 1 Daoist Master realm, Ye Chuan was unexpectedly unable to detect his arrival, what kind of realm had this cyan robed man reached? Ye Chuan was shocked in his heart and once again examined the cultivation of this cyan robed man. ¡°Youngster, don¡¯t be surprised, when you reach my age, your cultivation will only be higher than me, will not be worse than me.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder smiled. He knew what Ye Chuan was thinking. After pausing for a bit, he slowly said, ¡°Youngster, I can feel the evil spirit at the bottom of this Evil Dragon Abyss is sparing no effort to struggle free from the ancient restriction. Can you help me by going down and see to what extent the ancient restriction has loosened?¡± The mysterious and unfathomable cyan robed man once again made a request. Chapter 306: Dragon Binding Chain Chapter 306: Dragon Binding Chain ¡°This¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have a reply. In Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, after refining Half-Dragon Physique, he had set his mind to explore Evil Dragon Abyss once again, wanting to see the person if alive and see corpse if dead. He must find the whereabouts of junior apprentice brother Nan Tiandu. But, with the shadow of the last time exploration, his heart still had some misgivings. The blood mist at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss was not as terrifying as the poisonous mist of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, but it was also not an ordinary hypertoxic. The slightest bit of carelessness and he would not be able to come out. Last time, if it was not for the help of cyan robed Seventh Elder, he might have already changed into dead bones at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss. In addition, now when the blood mist rose like sea tide, a strange sound came from the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, this perturbed his heart. He didn¡¯t know what kind of heaven-defying evil spirit was lurking below, so he had to be prudent. Along with misgivings, Ye Chuan was also somewhat confused. Cyan robed Seventh Elder¡¯s cultivation was so high and he was much more familiar with the situation of the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss than him, moreover, he also understood the change of restriction, but why doesn¡¯t he go in to examine personally? Ye Chuan didn¡¯t feel any hostility from this cyan robed Seventh Elder, but it was impossible to get rid of some misgivings in his heart. ¡°It is very dangerous at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, but, youngster, I see that your physical body has strengthened a lot now. You can persist in the blood mist for a good while, giving you enough time to examine the restriction. In addition, I will give you a thing, this Dragon Binding Chain. Just in case, you run into some evil spirits, this Dragon Binding Chain can save your life. Also, don¡¯t forget to take along that wind chime I had given you before. Shake it in the times of emergency and I will know.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder took out a long whip from his storage ring and gave it to Ye Chuan, then sat down cross-legged beside Evil Dragon Abyss. He was very calm as if he knew that Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t reject him. And for an unknown reason, a hint of sadness seemed to flash through his eyes. After taking a long whip given to him by the cyan robed Seventh Elder, the Cyan Lotus Lamp within his body immediately jumped and become boiling hot. This whip appeared not up to much, but holding it, a warm current continuously seeped into his body, jolting the spirit as if it had infinite power. With this whip in hand, he felt as if even a powerful army might not be able to stop him. Good treasure. The eyes of Ye Chuan shone and he dripped a drop of blood to refine it on the spot without any politeness. A feeling as if a blood dissolving in water quickly came from this whip, and swinging it, a whistling sound came. Moreover, with this one lash, a huge stone beside Evil Dragon Abyss was instantly smashed into pieces. Lashing, rolling, sweeping¡­¡­, Ye Chuan swung this whip in different movements and this seven meters long whip made whistling sounds. In this Wilderness World, there were not many people that used a long whip, this kind of weapon, but as a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan was experienced and knowledgeable. In his hand, any kind of unconventional weapons would show its ferociousness. Very quickly, Ye Chuan realized the amazing aspect of this whip. No need to mention that its power was amazing, it furthermore emitted a vague aura of innate suppression, as long as it wrapped around the enemy, it would instantly disrupt the energy fluctuation within their body or even seal the energy of the other party. Dragon Binging Chain. Having the experience of previous life, ordinary treasures would not even enter his eyes. The treasures that ordinary people can only encounter but not sought were perhaps just dung and dirt for him, inferior to his own fists. But, as for this Dragon Binding Chain in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. The treasures from this cyan robed man were all extraordinary treasures. ¡°What do you think? Youngster, did you consider clearly?¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder asked. Seeing the smile of Ye Chuan, he deeply concealed that hint of sadness in his eyes. He was calm and quiet as if he was secluded from the real world untainted by this world¡¯s dust. ¡°Seventh Elder, since I have already refined this whip, how can I refuse?¡± Ye Chuan laughed and he suddenly uttered a long, loud cry holding his head high. Roar, a low and deep powerful dragon roar resounded and Little Long¡¯er flew over in his dragon form. Before exploring Evil Dragon Abyss once again, Ye Chuan called Little Long¡¯er, planning to cooperate. The cultivation base of Little Long¡¯er was not necessarily high, but his innate physique was exceptionally strong and he didn¡¯t need to fear the corrosion of blood mist. With him around, when he encountered any dangered, the possibility of escaping unscathed would be higher. Ye Chuan was not afraid of dangers and he also dared to take risks, but before taking risks, every time he would be fully prepared for the worst, he wouldn¡¯t persist in acting blindly. ¡°Eh, a demonic dragon.¡± Seeing the figure of Little Long¡¯er, calm cyan robed Seventh Elder suddenly exclaimed as he sized up Little Long¡¯er in dragon form. His clear eyes which weren¡¯t muddled by this world suddenly showed brilliance as if he could see through all the secrets of this world. ¡°Who are you?¡± Little Long¡¯er became alert. Even Flame Devil, Horned Demon Na Gusi and others beside Ye Chuan only knew he could transform into a dragon, they didn¡¯t know that his true form was Demonic Dragon. But, this cyan robed man was able to see through his true identity as the demonic dragon at first glance. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, don¡¯t be nervous, this is our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Seventh Elder.¡± Ye Chuan patted Little Long¡¯er, relaxing his taunt body. ¡°Yes, yes, truly is a demon dragon. Even a demonic dragon has appeared, no wonder the world restriction has become loose. It seems, the tide of heaven and earth is fluctuating more than ever before.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder nodded his head rather appreciating Little Long¡¯er. Then looking at Ye Chuan, he said, ¡°Youngster, go, with the help of this little demonic dragon, no one is better suitable than you to explore this Evil Dragon Abyss. This exploration will benefit this little demonic dragon, and later, the benefit he will give you will exceed your imagination.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder seemed to have calculated something, but he didn¡¯t speak directly, making a single phrase with a double meaning. ¡°This disciple understands, thank you for your pointers, Seventh Elder. Little Long¡¯er, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Chuan slightly bowed to Seventh Elder, then riding the back of Little Long¡¯er, one man and one dragon, jumped down the Evil Dragon Abyss, instantly disappearing in the midst of dense blood mist. The blood mist at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss was so poisonous that it could rapidly corrode the flesh and blood of people changing them into dead bones. Originally, Ye Chuan could explore only when the restriction loosened for a period of time, but now with Half Dragon Physique and the help of Little Long¡¯er, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have many misgivings. He could persist in blood mist for a period of time. Last time, at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, he had encountered puppet doll Hei Kui. This time, what kind of evil spirit would he encounter? Ye Chuan was somewhat nervous and also had some expectations. Extraordinary evil spirits would certainly have remarkable abilities. For instance, the puppet doll Hei Kui, in some occasions could display unexpected power and become a super assassin. This time, during the exploration, he might encounter an even more powerful, dangerous and unfathomable evil spirits, but he might also have greater gains. The Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique he had obtained in God Burial Valley was the life technique of Ye Chuan in this life. And it gave Ye Chuan greater expectation. The thick blood mist seethed and his skin began to itch and tingled. Ye Chuan silently circulated Demonic Dragon Sutra, entering into half dragon state. This countered the corrosion of blood mist. One dragon and one human, without drawing support from the stone steps on the cliff, they directly rushed down straight. Chapter 307: Blood Spirit Fungus Chapter 307: Blood Spirit Fungus Not long after, a human and a dragon reached the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, then Little Long¡¯er slowly flew forward. Standing at the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss, one could hear a series of unusual sounds. There were angry roars, sad and shrill screams and also a sound that reassembled iron chains dragging on the ground. But surprisingly, at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, it was very quiet not a sound to be heard. One could feel the blood mist rising and falling, but even after walking for a while, they didn¡¯t discover any abnormalities. ¡°Strange, can it be that this is an illusory formation?¡± Ye Chuan frowned and sensed carefully, but he couldn¡¯t see any sign of illusory formation. One human and one dragon continued to move forward and arrived at the nearby underpass. At first glance, it was no different from the last time, but he suddenly felt indescribable danger. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, look, what is that?¡± Little Long¡¯er said and suddenly accelerated. He stopped just 100 meters away from this underpass. The thick blood mist affected the field of vision, so only after closing in, Ye Chuan saw that there unexpectedly was a dark red flower with half wheel shape petals piled one on top of another on the wall of this underpass. Its appearance was very rear and seemed to be growing above the stone, moreover, it seemed to be at least 10,000 years old. Its appearance was strange, but even from 100 meters away, they could smell a fragrance that penetrated into their heart. Ye Chuan searched through the memories of his previous life, and very quickly, a name appeared in his mind as he said, ¡°Blood Spirit Fungus, Little Long¡¯er, this is ten thousand years Blood Spirit Fungus.¡± In every case where worldly spiritual qi was especially dense or in a place with abnormalities, they would often give birth to special worldly treasure and Evil Dragon Abyss was also not an exception. During the exploration of last time, perhaps, because he was a bit far away or the blood mist was too dense, he didn¡¯t notice it. This time, it was a perfect time. Just smelling its fragrance, he knew that it was the perfect time to pick up this Blood Spirit Fungus. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, you provide support from here, I will go and pick it.¡± Little Long¡¯er bent over preparing to take action. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, be careful.¡± Ye Chuan jumped down from the back of Little Long¡¯er and held Dragon Binding Chain on guard. At the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, this dark grotto in front of him was the passage leading to the underground world. Who knows what kind of world and what kind of evil spirits was lurking below? In the exploration of last time, from the start, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to approach this passage as just approaching a bit, his heart was in jitters. Now, after breaking through to Rank 1 Daoist Master realm and refining Half Dragon Physique, his strength had greatly advanced, but he still didn¡¯t dare to rashly run into this passage. That dangerous feeling pressured him. Little Long¡¯er bent low and suddenly rushed forward, instantly crossing this 100 meters distance. Hiss, a strange sound resounded. The instant Little Long¡¯er wanted to pick up this Blood Spirit Fungus, a thick tail suddenly came out from the underground grotto, sweeping towards Little Long¡¯er. This tail was ash gray in color, resembling a snake or dragon tail which was eroded by time, but it was powerful, and it was five times thicker than Little Long¡¯er. ¡°Watch out.¡± Ye Chuan shouted and prepared to rush forward. Roar, a low and powerful dragon roar resounded. At the critical moment, Little Long¡¯er showed the true qualities of a demonic dragon, ignoring the terrifying tail that was approaching him, he suddenly accelerated and directly bit off the Blood Spirit Fungus on the cliff, then flew back to the side of Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Got it, big brother Ye Chuan, let¡¯s leave.¡± One human and one dragon immediately retreated. Hiss, a strange sound resounded again and a huge snake stuck out from the underground grotto. It held its head high and sprayed poisonous mist. Then, everything in the front of Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er became a void expanse. The stumps, stones of the ground and even blood mist spreading all over the air were instantly corroded and vaporized. The ground in front of them was flattened and countless bubbles appeared on it. What a strong snake venom! Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er turned around with tense complexion. A huge blood-red snake crawled out one section after another. Now, more than 100 meters of its upper part of the body was revealed and its unknown meters long lower section of the body was still inside the underground grotto. Just its body size was enough to make people purple. Even if the guardian beast Lady White inside Heavenly Pond of Heavenly Yao Sect was here, it was impossible to tell who was powerful among these two huge snakes. Ye Chuan suddenly recalled another huge snake, the white snake Lady White he released to Heavenly Pond of Heavenly Yao Sect in his previous life. Hiss. This huge snake hissed once again and its huge body finally came out completely. Its lantern-like big eyes glared at Little Long¡¯er with killing intent, greatly pressuring him. Little Long¡¯er even in his dragon form unexpectedly trembled slightly. This pressure was not innate pressure, rather the pressure brought by overwhelmingly powerful strength. This huge snake in front of them was at least equivalent to a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert and they didn¡¯t know for how many years it had been lurking at the bottom of this Evil Dragon Abyss. Both sides refused to budge and the blood mist around seethed. Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er didn¡¯t dare to turn around. They feared that this huge snake would spray that terrifying poison if they make any movement. This huge snake also didn¡¯t rush immediately. It carefully sized up Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er, seemingly, it also knew that these two people were also not to be trifled with. But, being in this stalemate, it didn¡¯t matter for this huge snake, however, it was anything but reassuring for Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er. Little Long¡¯er was fine, he could withstand the corrosion of this blood mist, but Ye Chuan could persist for only a limited time. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, are you afraid?¡± Ye Chuan asked as he circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body preparing to make a preemptive move. ¡°With big brother here, there is nothing for Little Long¡¯er to fear.¡± Little Long¡¯er answered and with a tacit understanding, he slightly lowered his body, preparing to make a move. ¡°Then it¡¯s good, now, give me that Blood Spirit Fungus.¡± Ye Chuan took the Blood Spirit Fungus, then rushed towards the huge snake as he said, ¡°I will tie down this huge snake, and you attack its vital parts, quick.¡± What this huge snake truly wanted was not to kill these two people, rather wanted to snatch back that Blood Spirit Fungus it had guarded for ten thousand years. Ye Chuan took the initiative to take the danger on his shoulders, moreover, he suddenly took the initiative to initiate a ferocious attack, rushing towards this huge snake. The air rippled, and the blood mist around suddenly seethed vigorously with sands flying about and stones hurtling through the air. After breaking through to Rank 1 Daoist Master realm, Ye Chuan had yet to condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman so his absolute strength hadn¡¯t changed still was 108,000 jin, but his explosive power had vastly increased. He instantly released a violent power. The huge snake also made a move. Its belly swelled and then sunken, and opening its mouth, it sprayed out a mouthful of deadly poison which enveloped 100 meters around Ye Chuan. In the head-on collision, as long as even a bit of this snake venom touched him, Ye Chuan feared that he wouldn¡¯t leave even a dead bone. This snake venom was much more powerful than blood mist spread all over the air. If it was just this snake venom, then it was fine, but this huge snake also rushed over as it opened up its huge blood-red mouth wanting to directly swallow Ye Chuan. It instantly initiated a ferocious double attack. ¡°Big brother, watch out.¡± Little Long¡¯er also rushed over and relying on its tough demonic dragon body, he did his best to bite off a mouthful of meat from the back of this huge snake. But this huge snake swayed dodging the bite of Little Long¡¯er, seemingly knowing the power of a demonic dragon. And at the same time, Ye Chuan also showed his unparalleled style technique to dodge the snake venom, then flashing again, he rushed towards this huge snake, initiating swift and fierce attacks. One human, one dragon, one snake, they spared no effort to battle at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, roaring continuously. Above Evil Dragon Abyss, Sea Demoness Hai Lili looked pale. She didn¡¯t know what was happening at the bottom of this Evil Dragon Abyss. Zhu Sijia, Flame Devil and others who had rushed over after hearing the news were also worried, they had the heart to help but were powerless. With their physical body, they couldn¡¯t persist even a few breath of time inside this blood mist. Only mysterious and unfathomable cyan robed Seventh Elder was calm without any change in his complexion. He quietly sat cross-legged at the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss. Chapter 308: Evil Dragon Shackles Chapter 308: Evil Dragon Shackles With two against one, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er displayed all kinds of techniques, but they were still not the opponents of this terrifying huge snake. The robe of Ye Chuan was now riddled with holes which were corroded by the snake venom of this huge snake. Moreover, quite a few places of his body also was badly mangled. The poison of this snake was unexpectedly even more powerful than the poisonous mist of two sides of Demonic Dragon Path. Touching just a bit of it would wound him. Relying on his doughty demonic dragon body, the situation of Little Long¡¯er was much better compared to Ye Chuan, so their roles slowly changed. Instead of Ye Chuan, Little Long¡¯er pinned down this huge snake. One dragon and one snake spared no effort locked in a fierce battle. Demonic Dragon Clan was the clan that got stronger the more they fought. In the world beyond the highest heaven, they were the famous fighting race. Little Long¡¯er was young, but under the pressure of this huge snake, he gradually displayed the traits of Demonic Dragon Clan. In the end, Ye Chuan just stopped and stood at one side watching Little Long¡¯er fight. The blood mist spread all over the air still continued to rise and fall as if the sea tide. But at an unknown time, this blood mist had gotten even denser, the field of vision got even smaller and pressure became stronger. Ye Chuan who was standing still felt tingling pain which was getting stronger and stronger as if countless invisible needles were piercing his skin. Moreover, the wounds on his body not only didn¡¯t stop bleeding and heal, they become more and more serious. The poisonous mist at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss was more powerful than he had imagined. Like this, he couldn¡¯t last long. Ye Chuan looked at Little Long¡¯er and that huge snaking fighting without sparing any effort. Then, suddenly putting away Blood Spirit Fungus, he used Dragon Binding Chain given to him by cyan robed Seventh Elder, and swiftly entered the underground grotto where this huge snake was lurking. After walking back and forth at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t see any abnormality. If there was truly any ancient restriction, then that should be underground inside this grotto. Recalling the instruction of cyan robed Seventh Elder in his heart, Ye Chuan mustered his courage and rushed into the dark underground grotto. The ferocious huge snake hissed and rushed over wanting to stop Ye Chuan, seemingly guarding the underground grotto, but due to the obstruction of Little Long¡¯er, it was too late to stop and could only helplessly look at Ye Chuan disappearing into the underground grotto. The wind whistled beside his ears as he directly fell downward. As soon as he rushed into the dark underground grotto, Ye Chuan could again hear those strange noises he heard above Evil Dragon Abyss. Furious roars, sad and shrill screams and the sound similar to chains dragging on the ground, all of them fell into the ears of Ye Chuan one after another. At the same time, a burst of stinking odor directly assailed his nostrils, inhaling even a bit of it made his chest stuffy and also felt so nauseating that he wanted to vomit. Moreover, another strong pressured gushed out. In the beginning, it was Ye Chuan who had taken the initiative to jump down, but very soon, he felt that an invisible power was pulling him down and his speed was getting faster and faster. Below the underground grotto, there was the true forbidden area. The complexion of Ye Chuan was tense. He had entered so many ominous domains, but this was the first time he had become so tense because he knew nothing about the world below and he also didn¡¯t even grasp anything. Above, there was vast poisonous blood mist, and Little Long¡¯er was entangled in a battle with that huge snake. What was going to happen was unfathomable. As for Flame Devil and others who had rushed over after hearing the news, they couldn¡¯t help in any way. So he just hoped that cyan robed Seventh Elder completely understood the situation and he hadn¡¯t sent him to court death just to examine the change of this ancient restriction. Ye Chuan¡¯s heart was perturbed. He quietly calculated the height of the drop. After a while, after falling at least 1000 meters vertically down, his legs landed on the ground. In the front, there was a faint red light. The walls had a ruby inlaid in every 10 meters which dimly illuminated the road ahead. Ye Chuan took a step and creaking sounds came from underfoot. He looked down and saw the ground was covered with a layer of dead bones. There were skeletons of humans and also the skeletons of various kinds of yao beasts. He didn¡¯t know how many living things died here. Despite being a person who had many stormy experiences, Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t help feeling chill in his heart, and sweats began to appear on his forehead. Roar! An ear deafening roar came along with chains dragging sounds. In this place, those strange sounds were even clearer. Ye Chuan mustered his courage and walked forward. Stepping on dead bones, he walked for about a kilometers, then a scalp tingling scene appeared in front of him. At the end of this underground grotto, there was an even bigger grotto, or to say, it was a huge underground hall. On four sides of this hall, there were towering four huge pillars, and rune chains which were as thick as a thigh were tied to them. The other end of these chains bound a huge fiery red dragon. And all those ear deafening roars were coming from the mouth of this dragon. That huge snake who was fighting with Little Long¡¯er outside was already huge enough, but compared to this dragon, it was only a small crawler, nothing more. Evil Dragon! This is an Evil Dragon! Below Evil Dragon Abyss, an evil dragon that was guilty of monstrous crimes was truly suppressed. An ancient legend that was passed down in Cloud Mist Sect from generation to generation was truly not wrong. The hands and legs of Ye Chuan became cold and he suddenly stopped his steps and didn¡¯t dare to take even a step ahead. The cultivation of this dragon in front of him that was bound by rune chains was unfathomable. Even White Haired Empress of Heavenly Yao Sect was not necessarily its opponent. Its cultivation was at least peak Half-Sage realm or even equivalent to human¡¯s Sage realm expert. Such an Evil Dragon, even if he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage of his previous life, he should be careful in dealing with it, as for the current trifling Rank 1 Daoist Master realm cultivation base, he would just be swatted to death by it. ¡°Petty and low human, welcome to my, Meng Ao¡¯s territory, now offer your soul and flesh to me, hahaha¡­¡­¡± This fiery red evil dragon spat out human language and did his all to rush forward. Its eyes were bright red as if it wanted to swallow Ye Chuan. Every time, he tried to rush forward, the chains on his body would make sounds, and the four huge pillars and ground would sway making people feel anxious that this ferocious evil dragon might break free. The pressure became even stronger, making it hard to breathe. Ye Chuan retreated a few steps and forcibly calmed himself down, then he sized up this underground hall. A red light was circulating in those four huge pillars, clearly were combined together to form some kind of restriction. And along with the struggle of this evil dragon, this red light would weaken with every swaying. Now this red light was just like a weak flame that could go out at any time. It seemed the circumstance was more serious than the cyan robed Seventh Elder had expected. It seemed this evil dragon that was suppressed for unknown numbers of years could break out of this restriction at any time, regaining its freedom. At that time, Cloud Mist Sect would be the first one to suffer the disaster. Ye Chuan retreated as he had already completed the task of cyan robed Seventh Elder. He was unwilling to stay here any longer. If he stayed here for a time, then the danger would increase sharply, who knows that this evil dragon that called itself Meng Ao would struggle free from the binding of this restriction at this moment and rush over. ¡°Save me, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, save me, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± A weak call for help suddenly resounded and that voice was somewhat familiar. ¡°Nan Tiandu.¡± Ye Chuan exclaimed, quickly recognizing the voice of Nan Tiandu and was overjoyed. But at the next moment, his scalp tingled and his limbs became ice-cold. The voice of Nan Tiandu was unexpectedly coming from the dragon body of this evil dragon. This is an illusion, is the way of this evil dragon wanting to confuse him. Or Nan Tiandu really didn¡¯t die and after jumping down Evil Dragon Abyss, this evil dragon swallowed him. Ye Chuan was startled and cold sweat drenched his body, then he used his spirit to sense carefully. This confirmed that it was not an illusion. It was absolutely the truth that the voice of Nan Tiandu was coming from the body of this evil dragon. Chapter 309: Dragon Slaying Flying Sword Chapter 309: Dragon Slaying Flying Sword ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, save me, Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± The voice of Nan Tiandu came again. The voice was weak and was not continuous. Clearly, he was very weak and was at the end of his life. Suddenly, a difficult choice was placed in front of Ye Chuan. Finally, he found the whereabouts of Nan Tiandu, moreover, knew that he had not died. This was a good news. But the bad news was, how to save him? Just rushing up like this, he wouldn¡¯t be able to save Nan Tiandu and even he himself might be eaten by this evil dragon. But turning around like this, wouldn¡¯t that be not trying to save Nan Tiandu who was in mortal trouble and let him die in the body of this evil dragon Meng Ao. Ye Chuan was in a dilemma. He looked at the circumstance of all around and suddenly flew forward. Roar, the evil dragon Meng Ao roared loudly and rushed up opening his mouth. Ye Chuan flashed and change direction at a high speed. He suddenly turned to left direction dodging the attack of this evil dragon. Shortly afterward, he made a turn again as he rushed towards this evil dragon from the flank, hoping to climb on the back of this evil dragon. From the front, this evil dragon was too ferocious, he couldn¡¯t even touch it, so Ye Chuan could only find a way to outflank it and getting close to it, climb its back, then think of a way to save Nan Tiandu. Although this evil dragon was powerful, its four limbs were bound by rune chains and due to the binding of this ancient restriction, its strength as greatly reduced. Thus, this was the only place Ye Chuan could use. The ear deafening roar resounded again, the evil dragon turned around at an unimaginable speed, once again facing Ye Chuan. In an instant, as if casting oneself into the nest, Ye Chuan whose speed was very high rushed towards that evil dragon¡¯s mouth full of sharp teeth as ferocious evil dragon opened its mouth wide wanting to swallow Ye Chuan. Now, the slightest bit of error and Ye Chuan would end up meeting Nan Tiandu in the stomach of this evil dragon. A few meters long whip lashed out. It streak across the sky along with a piercing sound. At this moment, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped and retreat, moreover, at the same time, he ferociously swung the Dragon Binding Chain in his hand. Roar! The evil dragon issued a furious roar and moved sideways to dodge the long whip, seemingly, it was rather afraid of Dragon Binging Chain in the hand of Ye Chuan. ¡°Eh, as it turned out this fellow is afraid of this whip.¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan shone, and he rushed forward again as he swung Dragon Binding Chain. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t strive to kill this evil dragon, he only hoped to ride its back and think of a way to save Nan Tiandu. But, although evil dragon didn¡¯t dare to meet head-on with this Dragon Binding Chain and the hit made smoke rise from its body, its movement was still very agile. No matter from which angle Ye Chaun rush forward, let alone riding its back, he was basically unable to approach it. This evil dragon pressed forward violently and even opened its mouth and sprayed a scorching hot firewall, nearly burning Ye Chuan into coke several times. The tingling feeling on his skin was getting stronger and stronger. A layer of protection he placed around his body using Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body was suffering from the corrosion of blood mist. He had limited time and it was now impossible for him to continue delaying the tie with this evil dragon. So, Ye Chuan reluctantly looked at this ferocious evil dragon, then turned away. After rushing out of underground grotto, he held his head high and utter a long, loud cry, then Little Long¡¯er who was still fighting with that huge snake flew over. Then, one human and one dragon, flew away, leaving this place quickly. Not long after, they came out from this thick blood mist. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother.¡± ¡°Look, it¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother.¡± The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect that were gathered in the vicinity of Evil Dragon Abyss excitedly cheered. Zhu Sijia, Flame Devil and others rushed over, followed by many ordinary outer disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. The rear mountain¡¯s Evil Dragon Abyss had always been a forbidden area of Cloud Mist Sect. It was the place where the convict awaiting execution of Cloud Mist Sect were banished. Ever since the ancient time, no one had ever returned from inside Evil Dragon Abyss, so hearing Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan had jumped down Evil Dragon Abyss, everyone was worried and they hurriedly rushed over but they didn¡¯t know what should they do. And after anxiously waiting for a long time, seeing Ye Chuan rush out of this Evil Dragon Abyss, everyone couldn¡¯t help cheering loudly. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t you fear for your life? You actually jumped down this Evil Dragon Abyss.¡± Zhu Sijia received him panting with rage but her eyes were bright red. Just a moment ago, if it wasn¡¯t for Flame Devil and others desperately holding her back, she would have risked her life and jump down Evil Dragon Abyss to look for Ye Chuan. ¡°Jiajia, let fellow disciples return first, at once.¡± Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t attend to flirt with Zhu Sijia like before, he immediately instructed her. Although the disciples were cheering loudly, he was tense and looked displeased. Although he was able to escape unscathed from Evil Dragon Abyss, junior apprentice brother Nan Tiandu was still inside the stomach of that evil dragon. In addition, the ancient restriction might break at any time. Once it collapsed, that evil dragon would rush out, then unprecedented catastrophe would befall on Cloud Mist Sect. It would be much more terrifying than the attack of Da Qin Dynasty or Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°Okay.¡± Zhu Sijia nodded her head. She wanted to ask thousands of question to Ye Chuan in her heart, but she knew something of great importance had happened, looking at the expression of Ye Chuan, so she immediately turned around to arrange. Soon, all the disciples returned in succession. Each and every one was them were in high spirits, not knowing the critical situation at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss. ¡°Youngster, come over, I am here.¡± An old voice resounded in the ears of Ye Chuan. After hearing this voice, Ye Chuan turned around and rushed over to a remote place to find cyan robed Seventh Elder sitting cross-legged on a boulder. The old man didn¡¯t seem to like bustling, when numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect rushed over hearing the news, he quietly went to this remote place. ¡°Youngster, how was it, did you find the ancient restriction at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss?¡± ¡°I found it, merely, the circumstance is anything but reassuring.¡± Ye Chuan quickly spoke straight to the point and he quickly explained everything he saw including the matter of Nan Tiandu. He wanted to know whether this cyan robed Seventh Elder had a way to save him. If he had the strength of his former life, then Ye Chuan had ways to save Nan Tiandu, but now, with only trifling Rank 1 Daoist Master realm cultivation, he truly had no way to save him. He couldn¡¯t beat that evil dragon and even couldn¡¯t approach it. Zhu Sijia, Flame Devil and others could help in this situation, so he could only place his hope on this cyan robed Seventh Elder with unfathomable cultivation base. ¡°That evil creature, so many years has passed but he still doesn¡¯t know how to repent.¡± Cyan robed Seventh Elder was furious and a powerful killing intent suddenly burst out from his body. But in the next moment, that killing intent disappeared completely. He sighed deeply and become dejected, seemingly, he aged 10 years in this instant. It seemed he had recalled a heartbreaking affair. ¡°Seventh Elder, what happened? My junior apprentice brother Tiandu¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan was puzzled and was somewhat perturbed. He didn¡¯t know why the attitude of this Seventh Elder had such a big change. Cyan robed Seventh Elder didn¡¯t speak and after a long time, he opened his mouth and spat out a blood-red flaying sword. It was only three inches long and was extremely thin even thinner than a sheet of a paper. He blew his vitality on it and ancient runes appeared above it. He looked at these glimmering runes and sighed again, then said faintly, ¡°Youngster, this is Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, it has accompanied me for millions of years, gradually gaining spirituality. Take this and kill that evil dragon.¡± In the flying sword, he added his own cultivation and then giving it to Ye Chuan, the cyan robed Seventh Elder flew away, leaving behind another sigh. Chapter 310: Dragon Slaying Talisman Chapter 310: Dragon Slaying Talisman After resting for a while at the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss, bandaging his wound and swallowing a medicinal pill to restore his strength, regardless of the dissuade of Zhu Sijia, Flame Devil and others, Ye Chuan once again jumped down the Evil Dragon Abyss with Little Long¡¯er. In the vicinity of the underground grotto, they two again encountered that ash gray huge snake. Perhaps, this huge fellow received orders to guard the underground grotto entrance or perhaps, it was unwilling to leave this place after battling with Little Long¡¯er, it was still at the underground grotto entrance. Moreover, seeing Little Long¡¯er again, it ferociously rushed over. Under the direction of Ye Chuan, Little Long¡¯er no longer entangled with this huge snake. They just ran around the Evil Dragon Abyss, finally shaking off its chase. After that, one human and one dragon, they quickly rushed into the underpass and arrived at the huge underground hall. Behind, the huge snake quickly chased, but it was already too late. Perhaps, it had misgivings towards that evil dragon of the underground hall, the huge snake remained outside not daring to chase inside. ¡°Brat, you came again, moreover, brought this little reptile? Hahaha, you have come at just the right time, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Seeing the figures of Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er, the evil dragon roared with laughter and suddenly rushed forward, then swung four rune chains, but just a few meters away of Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er, those chains fell to the ground. Ye Chuan had chosen a perfect distance. He wasn¡¯t too far away from this evil dragon and also wasn¡¯t within its attack range. Since he was already prepared for this, he didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid, but Little Long¡¯er was greatly shocked. Although he was also a dragon, moreover, a higher ranked dragon than this evil dragon, the ferocious attack of this more than 1000 meters long dragon frightened him. If the ancient restriction was not binding it, then he, just a newborn little demonic dragon, was far from being a match for this evil dragon. He feared he might not even be enough to fill the gap of its teeth. ¡°What a fine evil dragon, stop being so savage and hand over my junior apprentice-brother Nan Tiandu! Otherwise, I will destroy you today representing Cloud Mist Sect!¡± Ye Chuan came prepared this time but he didn¡¯t immediately attack. He carefully sized up this ferocious evil dragon while secretly using his spirit to sense the movement of Nan Tiandu. After sensing for a while, Ye Chuan was unable to sense the aura of Nan Tiandu as if in this short amount of time, Nan Tiandu had dissipated inside the stomach of this evil dragon, so he couldn¡¯t help becoming anxious. ¡°Nan Tiandu? Hahaha, brat, are you talking about that kid I swallowed recently?¡± Evil Dragon Meng Ao roared with laughter and its huge body restlessly swayed, making those tune chains clank. ¡°Hahaha, that brat had some skill, he actually had inherited the inheritance of Heaven Shaking Great Sage. Although his body was gone, his spirit was still able to withstand destruction, but what about that? In the end, that is useless in front of this lordship! Refining his spirit, this lordship will become new Heaven Shaking Great Sage, then transform into the Dragon King of this Wilderness World, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Evil Dragon Meng Ao roared with laughter as he tried to struggle free. As for Ye Chuan, his limbs suddenly became ice-cold. Nan Tiandu had already lost his physical body? The heart of Ye Chuan sunk. And in the next moment, he pulled Little Long¡¯er and retreated. Violent energy fluctuation erupted out from within his body as all Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body insanely rotated. His killing intent also rose sharply, then pulling out Dragon Slaying Flying Sword given to him by cyan robed Seventh Elder, he said, ¡°Evil Dragon, you kill my junior apprentice brother, I will annihilate you to avenge my junior apprentice brother!¡± Swish! Dragon Slaying Flying Sword changed into a red light as it flew out of his hand, then automatically locking onto the head of this Evil Dragon as if it had intelligent, it whistled through the air. The laughter of the evil dragon ceased abruptly and shouted in panic, ¡°Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, no, master, spare my life¡­¡­, master, spare my life, no¡­¡­¡± Evil Dragon Meng Ao moved all around in that narrow space and did all it could to struggle free from the rune chains. Unfortunately, no matter where he moved to, it was impossible to shake off the sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, so it could only give a horrible scream. ¡°No¡­¡­¡± The evil dragon screamed and just when the sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword stabbed its head, it violently struggled and its huge body twisted as scorching hot flames sprang out from its body. It rolled about and struggled in pain. This violent struggle shook the entire underground hall and the four huge pillars became dimmer. It appeared as if this ancient restriction was about to collapse, but the evil dragon was still unable to break free, was still trapped in the hall. Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er moved far away. Seeing the violent struggle of this evil dragon, they were greatly shocked. ¡°No¡­¡­, Master, don¡¯t kill me, this disciple is wrong! Master, take back the Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, no¡­¡­¡± The evil dragon was rolling about while struggling on one side and on the other side, it was wailing mournfully. But, under its full strength struggle, the four rune chains broke inch by inch, finally, he was free. The ancient restriction completely collapsed. Unfortunately, at this moment, the evil dragon also had already exhausted its vitality and its voice slowly become smaller and smaller, dying in the end. Buzz, at this moment, Dragon Slaying Flying Sword flew out from the head of this evil dragon and returned to the hand of Ye Chuan after penetrating through the head of this evil dragon. He could feel a strange feeling from this flying sword and the seal of cyan robed Seventh Elder left in this flying sword automatically disappeared. The might of this flying sword was astonishing, and after beheading an evil dragon, it became an ownerless treasure. And at the same time, Ye Chuan could hear a faint sighing voice. It was old and husky, that was the voice of cyan robed Seventh Elder. Evil Dragon Abyss, Evil Dragon, Master¡­¡­ The heart of Ye Chuan shook, the words of the evil dragon Meng Ao before his death resounded in his ears and he suddenly saw the light. He understood the relationship between this evil dragon and cyan robed Seventh Elder, and also understood why he was unwilling to take half a step into this Evil Dragon Abyss even though he had unfathomable cultivation base and didn¡¯t need to fear the corrosion of blood mist. ¡°Many thanks, Seventh Elder, this disciple will receive this flying sword!¡± Ye Chuan bowed towards the void then dripping a drop of blood on this Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, he began to refine it on the spot. Such a powerful killing weapon, it was impossible to suddenly become an ownerless treasure. Either cyan robed Seventh Elder was suddenly killed or he voluntarily gave up this treasure in order to avoid remembering this sadness seeing this weapon. According to the words the evil dragon Meng Ao said before his death, what happened was very clear. After the essence blood of Ye Chuan fused with this flying sword, the extremely thin Dragon Slaying Flying Sword vibrated and changing into a red light, it entered into the body of Ye Chuan and disappeared. And at the same time, the slowly rotating cyclone within his dantian which was unable to condense into a talisman seethed and changed tens of thousands of times. Sometimes, it would change into a huge dragon and sometime, it would change into a flying sword. In the end, it slowly condensed into a flying sword shape talisman. Dragon Slaying Talisman! A new Heaven Swallowing Talisman, it finally took shape after a thousand calls! This was the seventh Heaven Swallowing Talisman of Ye Chuan. One Heaven Swallowing Talisman gave him 18,000 jin strength, so with seven Heaven Swallowing Talismans, he had 126,000 jin strength! Moreover, at the same time, Ye Chuan naturally broke through to Rank 2 Daoist Master realm too, but compared to this breakthrough, condensing the seventh talisman made him more excited! With 126,000 jin strength, when confronting enemies, even without any killing weapon, who among the same realm can withstand his fist? The fighting spirit of Ye Chuan rose and just when he was about to punch the corpse of this evil dragon to test his newfound strength after condensing seventh Heaven Swallowing Talisman, his eyelids suddenly jumped up. The evil dragon lying on the ground without any living aura unexpectedly moved as if it was about to awaken. Chapter 311: The rebirth of Nan Tiandu Chapter 311: The rebirth of Nan Tiandu Buzz! An ear piercing sound resounded, and Ye Chuan pulled Little Long¡¯er as they retreated two steps back. Then, Ye Chuan circulated Dragon Slaying Talisman which was condensed just a moment ago and he held the sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. His complexion was stretched taut as he fixedly stared at the corpse of the evil dragon. Even after the head was pierced through by a flying sword, it was still not dead, was it truly an undying evil dragon? Ye Chuan got nervous. Now that the ancient restriction had already broken, if this over one thousand meters long evil dragon before his eyes truly came back to life, then he might not be able to run away! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, it¡¯s me, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± The evil dragon opened its eyes with great difficulty and looked at Ye Chuan. Now, it was breathing, it had truly returned to life, but its expression was completely different from before. There was no ferociousness and cruelness, moreover, he couldn¡¯t feel any killing intent, instead indistinctly felt a familiar feeling. ¡°Junior apprentice brother Tiandu, is that you?¡± Ye Chuan found this hard to believe but soon understood what was happening. This wasn¡¯t rebirth rather possession! The human body of Nan Tiandu was gone, but because of the inheritance of Heaven Shaking Great Sage, his spirit was especially tenacious, he had always been resisting this evil dragon Meng Ao from getting completely devoured. After Dragon Slaying Flying Sword killed this evil dragon, this gave Nan Tiandu a very rare chance to reverse the situation and seize the body of this evil dragon! It was somewhat hard to believe, but as a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan had seen many similar matters and other strange sights in his previous life, so he immediately saw the light and put away Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. ¡°It¡¯s me, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, it¡¯s me!¡± The mouth of this evil dragon moved once again. His voice was weak but it was certainly Nan Tiandu without a doubt. He was able to survive this time because, on one hand, Ye Chuan killed that terrifying evil dragon, on the other hand, the fate was on his side. With fate on one¡¯s side, one could come back to life even after lying on the grave. ¡°Good, very good!¡± Ye Chuan was excited. He walked over and prepared to help Nan Tiandu bind up his wound. But a cyan light flashed before his eyes and a figure appeared in front of him. The cyan robed Seventh Elder who had always been unwilling to set foot inside this Evil Dragon Abyss suddenly arrived at this underground hall and stopped Ye Chuan. His eyes were blazing like torches as he stared at the evil dragon who made an unexpected recovery and instructed to Ye Chuan, ¡°Youngster, stop, don¡¯t touch him!¡± ¡°Mas¡­¡­, Master¡­¡­¡± The newly born Nan Tiandu looked up and seeing the cyan robed Seventh Elder who had suddenly appeared in front of him, he looked somewhat at a loss but subconsciously called out ¡®Master¡¯. Ye Chuan was shocked in his heart. What was going on here, how can Nan Tiandu address Seventh Elder as Master? This wasn¡¯t possession! Could it be that this evil dragon was feigning death and pretending to be possessed by Nan Tiandu, wanting to escape? The killing intent of Ye Chuan rose and circulating Dragon Slaying Talisman within his body, he prepared to use the Dragon Slaying Flying Sword once again. If this was truly the plot of this evil dragon, then he would thoroughly kill this evil dragon even if he might anger the cyan robed Seventh Elder! ¡°Master? Do you still remember me as Master? Good, good, good¡­¡­¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder was excited, he suddenly turned to Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Youngster, no need to be tense, the true evil dragon Meng Ao has already died.¡± ¡°Then this¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan was puzzled. ¡°This is not possession, is fusion.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder paused and added, ¡°The evil dragon Meng Ao died in your hands, that is his well-deserved punishment. But, under a freak combination of factors, his spirit and the spirit of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciple Nan Tiandu which he had swallowed fused together. Now, he is both my disciple Meng Ao and also your junior apprentice brother Nan Tiandu. The fusion of spirit is very mysterious and also very dangerous. These two kinds of completely different memories collided with each other, that is enough to make average people have their spirit disintegrate before the through fusion of spirits, so don¡¯t touch him. Youngster, leave this place to me.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder explained in a very easy fashion in a few sentences. Now, he looked excited, he didn¡¯t have that sadness of before, it was replaced by expectation. This dragon rolling on the ground with greatly damaged vitality was not only the new life of Nan Tiandu, similarly, was also the new life of the evil dragon Meng Ao. The cyan robed Seventh Elder was greatly disappointed by original disciple Meng Ao, so he bestowed Dragon Slaying Flying Sword to Ye Chuan and borrowed the hand of Ye Chuan to kill this evil dragon. But, after returning to life and fusing with the spirit of Nan Tiandu, Meng Ao would definitely lose a lot of memories, therefore, he would return to his original nature. This was something this cyan robed Seventh Elder wanted to see. ¡°Child, sleep, have a good sleep, when you wake up from your sleep, everything will be all right, sleep.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder suddenly used a jade ruler and used a technique, making this huge dragon lying on the ground to fall asleep. Then, he said, ¡°Child, in all these last years, Master was wrong. Life is short, what¡¯s the use of searching for the true immortality? All-powerful ancient great sages also fell similarly, and celestial beings also disappear in the long river of time. As a matter of fact, cultivation is also not everything in life, this time, Master will not force you to cultivate madly. I will no longer let you walk down the wrong path.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder muttered to himself and as if he was taking care of his own child, he emotionally looked at the asleep dragon on the ground. He seemed to be speaking these words to the huge dragon lying on the ground and also seemed to be speaking to Ye Chuan who was standing on one side. He paused for a bit and explained in a very easy fashion, ¡°A very long time ago, Meng Ao was a very obedient and very sensible child. Under my strict supervision, he made a great effort in cultivation hoping to set foot on the pinnacle of cultivation someday. When he was young, he went out to temper himself and at that time, he met a girl. In order to avoid disturbing his cultivation, I separated them. Since then, Meng Ao didn¡¯t speak often and just cultivated. And taking advantage of the time when I was not paying attention, he cultivated a demonic technique and fused with a dragon, becoming half yao half demon. After that, he cultivated further and further down the evil ways. Speaking about it, everything was my fault, I was not good enough!¡± When speaking, he was remorseful and uneasy. The reason why his disciple Meng Ao walked down the evil ways was fundamentally his fault as a master. Precisely because of this, after sealing Meng Ao who had walked down the demonic path at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, he was unwilling to step foot in this abyss. ¡°Everything is according to fate. Seventh Elder, can this disciple ask you a question? Who are you and what relation do you have with my Cloud Mist Sect?¡± Ye Chuan asked. He was very curious about the identity of this cyan robed Seventh Elder. When he and Ghost Hand Medicinal King had established Cloud Mist Sect, this place already had this abyss, but it was not called Evil Dragon Abyss. However, according to the retelling from the current disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, Evil Dragon Abyss had been in existence for a long time. This meant this master and disciple should have been here from a long time ago. ¡°A very long time ago, this was a world filled with Sages. The entire Wilderness World was under the control of an expert called Heaven Concealing Great Sage. Later, Heaven Concealing Great Sage fell and disappeared, and the entire world welcomed unprecedented chaos and turmoil. Heavenly sages fought, clans fought, everyone fought and blood flowed like rivers. Moreover, the world cracked open and many time and space rifts appeared. From those time and space rifts, many experts of the world beyond the highest heaven came. Then, the battle became even crueler and practically all the Sages of Wilderness World fell¡­¡­¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder spoke in a low voice, then intentionally or unintentionally looking at Ye Chuan, he slowly said, ¡°At that time, I was leisurely staying in this mountain. I basically didn¡¯t know the brilliant and cruel world outside this mountain. Later, I met a woman on this mountain, she gave me a peerless technique and led me to the world beyond the highest heaven. After many years, I returned to Wilderness World, and I abided the promise to that woman to help her guard this world and wait for a person to appear.¡± ¡°Seventh Elder, who is that woman? Also, who are you waiting for?¡± Ye Chuan asked closely. His heartbeat quickened and figures of each and every woman of his past life appeared in his mind, Blue Eyed Yao Empress, Elegant Fox King, or¡­¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t know. I stayed in the world beyond the highest heaven for a very long time, then discovered that I don¡¯t know many matters. Some people even say that this place is just a microcosm, and the world beyond the highest heaven is the real Wilderness World, but I still don¡¯t know where this is true or false.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder answered. ¡°Then how will you know who is the person you are waiting for?¡± Ye Chuan asked again. ¡°I don¡¯t know, he/she will naturally appear when he/she should appear.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder raised the jade ruler and used a technique to seal the underground hall, then left and a voice came from far away, ¡°Youngster, leave, don¡¯t come back to disturb the hibernation of this dragon. After their spirits are thoroughly merged, he will awaken on his own. If there is something in the future, then you can come to the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss to look for me and shake that wind chime I gave to you. Remember, my name is Meng Qi, you can call me Old Meng or Seventh Elder.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder appeared as if he was unwilling to speak any more. He left behind these words before leaving. Chapter 312: The enemy troops pressed on to the border Chapter 312: The enemy troops pressed on to the border The cyan robed Seventh Elder disappeared but Ye Chuan still stood still. ¡°The sages have fallen, time and space rifts appeared, the world beyond the highest heaven¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself. He had already guessed something but hearing the words of the cyan robed Seventh Elder, Meng Qi, he was shocked. When he was trapped in God Burial Valley for millions of years, too many things had happened! The historical trend basically was, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide. When he concealed the heaven, Wilderness World was a monolithic bloc, all Sage experts didn¡¯t dare to act willfully and wildly. But after he was trapped in God Burial valley, the Wilderness World became a host of dragons without a head, thus, it naturally broke up quickly and then killed each other. Moreover, at that time, the forces of the world beyond the highest heaven also appeared. Could it be that those people who set up to trap him in God Burial Valley in those years were also instigated and manipulated by the forces of the world beyond the highest heaven in secret? And his true opponents, were they hiding behind the scenes? Ye Chuan suddenly had this thought and his eyes flashed with pallid light. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, what happened?¡± Little Long¡¯er felt a little uneasy. ¡°Nothing, Little Long¡¯er, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan calmed down and turning around, he left with Little Long¡¯er. Originally, he thought that he would show unrivaled techniques of his previous life step by step, declaring his, Ye Chuan¡¯s return. But, as it now seemed he still needed to continue hiding and cultivate. His enemies were very likely to be far more powerful and not simple than his expectation. Before exceeding his previous life¡¯s strength, go to look for the enemies of his previous life was just courting death. He needed to be low key and act cautiously. He fell prey to a plot in his previous life as he was too powerful and wind always harmed the outstanding tree in the forest, moreover, because he was on the spotlight, it was harder to guard against the hidden foes. The huge snake that had always been guarding the underground grotto entrance had disappeared at an unknown time. Perhaps, it ran away after sensing the ancient restriction of the underground hall had broken, or, the cyan robed Seventh Elder Meng Qi drove it away. Without this huge snake to pester and stop their path, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er quickly left. They were totally oblivious to the gradual astonishing transformation of the dragon lying in the underground hall. Its entire body dimmed and continuously changed in shape. Sometimes, it transformed into an unfamiliar man, sometimes, transformed into Nan Tiandu, then again reverted back to the huge dragon. It constantly changed, and in the end, the huge body shrunk more and more, unexpectedly transforming into a rare small yao beast. Its upper body resembled a rat and its lower body resembled a dragon. But the shape continued to change and its energy fluctuation also got strong for one moment and weak for another moment. The fusion of spirits was far more dangerous and complicated than seizing a body. This was a passive process and the final result was unpredictable. Ye Chuan and the cyan robed Seventh Elder Meng Qi could do nothing but let nature take its course. Even after both people had left, the spirits of Nan Tiandu and evil dragon Meng Ao were still fusing slowly. Returning to Heavenly Dragon Peak, Ye Chuan quickly issued an order to formally make the area of Evil Dragon Abyss a forbidden area. He strictly forbade disciples to walk near Evil Dragon Abyss. And after warning everybody, he entered seclusion cultivation again. The words of cyan robed man Meng Qi made Ye Chuan roughly understand the great changes that occurred in Wilderness World after he was trapped in God Burial Valley, this gave him a heavy pressure. Now, after eliminating both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, Cloud Mist Sect had unified Cloud Mist Mountain Range, becoming the overlord of this place. Moreover, his cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds. He successfully condensed the seventh Heaven Swallowing Talismans making the strength of his punch have 126,000 jin strength, but if he wanted to truly dominate Wilderness World again, then this was still far from being sufficient. Ye Chuan cut off all distracting thoughts and quickly immersed in cultivation, comprehending the true essence of Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique. Unfortunately, after a little while, his cultivation was interrupted once again. In the evening after three days, suddenly a hurried knocking sounds came from outside. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, senior apprentice brother Fatty is seeking audience, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± The voice of Little Long¡¯er came afterward. ¡°Come in.¡± Ye Chuan slowly opened his eyes. He was somewhat confused. Where did senior apprentice brother Fatty come in the sect? Under the lead of Little Long¡¯er, Fatty Zhao Dazhi with sticking out stomach came in. It had only been a few days but he seemed to have gotten fatter. Others were too busy becoming thin and pallid, but he was getting fatter. This fellow, from little fatty, now he had become senior apprentice brother fatty! Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t help laughing. When he had just reincarnated and returned to Cloud Mist Sect, he had grabbed this fatty and spanked him, that scene appeared in his mind. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, big bad news, Da Qin Dynasty came¡­¡­, came¡­¡­¡± Fatty looked pale and he was so nervous that he wasn¡¯t able to complete his sentence. ¡°How many are there?¡± Ye Chuan interrupted fatty and directly asked. ¡°Many, at least¡­¡­, at least 200,000 troops, without messenger, they¡­¡­, they directly attacked!¡± Fatty wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and his legs went soft as he added, ¡°According to the report from scouts, the soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty have already arrived in the periphery of Cloud Mist Mountain Range and all local forces that didn¡¯t cooperate were destroyed. They directly massacred the inhabitants of the captured towns!¡± ¡°Map!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly stood up and Little Long¡¯er quickly stepped forward and spread out a huge map. It depicted the terrain within several hundred li of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, marking all towns and paths. Ye Chuan was solemn as he carefully looked at the map in front of him. Da Qin Dynasty trying to dip their fingers in cultivating sects, this was an open secret, so since they couldn¡¯t hand over pills, Da Qin Dynasty was very likely to seize this opportunity to launch an attack on Cloud Mist Sect to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. Ye Chuan had already expected this point. But, what was unexpected was, Da Qin King unexpectedly didn¡¯t even put the outer appearance, he directly sent his army to attack. He didn¡¯t send anyone to demand pills and also didn¡¯t send anyone to declare the war, he directly dispatched his army to crush Cloud Mist Sect. Da Qin King truly was Da Qin King, he perfectly displayed the domineering and unreasonableness of the emperor of the secular world. ¡°Those captives of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect we sent down the mountain, weren¡¯t they fostered?¡± Ye Chuan asked fatty without moving his eyes away from the map. ¡°Miss Jiajia fostered quite a few relatively remarkable fellows, and they also occupied many territories in the vicinity of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, establishing a buffer zone. But, when Da Qin Dynasty¡¯s army arrived, they were either massacred in the battle or surrendered or holed up.¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi answered with a worried frown. 200,000 soldiers of enemy troops were pressing on to the border, moreover, all of them were elites directly sent from the capital, they were more than sufficient to crush any cultivation sect other than Heavenly Yao Sect like giants. Although Cloud Mist Sect had made a lot of preparations and swallowed up both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, this time, could they contend against the army of Da Qin Dynasty? ¡°We don¡¯t have much time, it¡¯s too fast.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and sighed. Fostering forces in the vicinity of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, this was a clever move, merely, the time was too short. They didn¡¯t have enough time to be deep-rooted so the army of Da Qin Dynasty easily uprooted them. ¡°Do you know who the commander of Da Qin Dynasty army is for this time?¡± Ye Chuan asked. But his eyes slowly sweep the map as he recalled every checkpoint of the mountains. Fatty shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know the specific, but they say it is a young man known as the Iron Blooded General. He is not very old in age, but he is a superb military commander, moreover, the massacre has become his second nature. All along the path, he had already annihilated unknown numbers of forces that didn¡¯t cooperate.¡± ¡°Iron Blooded General?¡± Ye Chuan sneered. He would like to see what kind of skills did this so-called Iron Blooded General has and also see whose means were more ruthless! In his previous life, he had dominated the entire Wilderness World but not those numerous nobles and other sages. He had risen to prominence by killing throughout his way, leaving behind mountains of corpses and sea of blood. If one should truly talk about the meaning of iron blooded, then perhaps, even Da Qin King who dominated hundreds of millions li land also wasn¡¯t his opponent! Chapter 313: Kill or not The invasion of Da Qin Dynasty¡¯s army made everyone from the top to bottom of Cloud Mist Sect get nervous. Ye Chuan personally took command and he dispatched a group of scouts to gather intelligence on the military force of Da Qin Dynasty. Then, in addition to Heaven Concealing Great Formation and Yao Beast War Formation, he activated even more magic formations and restrictions, laying down layer upon layer of checkpoints and traps on the path. On the outskirts of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, the vanguard of Da Qin Dynasty that was advancing triumphantly finally stopped waiting for the vast and mighty troops of the rear. Just after two days, a large army rushed over to the outskirts of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. The mighty 200,000 strong army was stationed at a small town at the foot of the mountain called Pingyuan Town. This was a very small town situated inside a rugged valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. There was only one path that led to the town, and houses were built on both sides of the street. Moreover, not even 100 meters away, there was a dense forest. With the wide expanse of interlinked woods, one could not see the end. This small town was very small with just one or two thousand people living here, but this town had a very long history. It could be counted as one of the most ancient towns in this area. The ancestors of the majority of people had migrated to here from the southern border or other places. The people of this place, some made living by hunting, some specialized in trading the special medicinal herbs of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and some rely on labor. They had a hard time getting with their life. And with the sudden influx of 200,000 soldiers, this ancient small town was so crowded that not even a one drop of water could trickle through. That evening when the vast and mighty army was stationed in this small town, a group of uninvited guests arrived in the neighborhood forest. Ye Chuan stood on a high hillock and coldly looked far away at military camp at the foot of the mountain. Behind him, there was Little Long¡¯er, Flame Devil, Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes and others. Beyond the expectation of people, after the troops of Da Qin Dynasty pressed on to the border, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t blindly defend to the death, he instead took the initiative to attack. He personally rushed over to the outskirts of Cloud Mist Mountain Range to observe the movement of the enemy troops. And this time, he didn¡¯t bring many disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, he just brought his powerful followers. Perhaps, because they were in a rush, the place where military forces of Da Qin Dynasty camped for the night was too narrow. The tents were pitched too close to each other, and the soldiers were bustling about everywhere. As for the residents of this small town, either they were hiding inside their houses trembling without daring to come out or they had already fled to the mountain to hide hearing the news. ¡°Your Excellency, should we first give them a pleasant surprise by burning down their good military camp? Kakaka¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily as his eyes shone with faint green light. 200,000 strong troops, average people would be petrified with just a talk about it.In the eyes of Old Demon of Mount Yin, they however were just 200,000 rations. Devouring the essence blood and vital yang of these 200,000 strong troops, it would be difficult to not break through to Half-Sage realm! After devouring Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, this old evil spirit was genuinely convinced by Ye Chuan, as a result, he began to sincerely address Ye Chuan as Your Excellency. ¡°No, we can give them a small pleasant surprise, but it is too early to burn down this military camp, moreover, it is also not that easy. First, let¡¯s go and see what kind of a person their commander is!¡± Ye Chuan clapped his hand as he instructed Flame Devil and others to bide for time. But behind them, several hundred pangolins drilled out and appeared in the forest, then under the cover of night, they rushed towards the small town at the foot of the mountain. The enemy troop at the foot of the mountain was busy but not chaotic, clearly were well-trained. Moreover, there were also indistinct powerful auras coming from this military camp, this proves that the number of experts among these soldiers was not few. So, if they rushed over directly, then before they could find where the tent of the enemy commander was located, they might be hacked to death. Ye Chuan used his military force carefully, making full use of his strong points. The main gate restriction and Heaven Concealing Great Formation of Cloud Mist Sect were the last defense lines. If they truly wanted to defeat the vast and mighty military force of Da Qin Dynasty, then they had to think of a way to deal with them on the mountain path. The innate skills of different yao beasts under him were the arsenal of Ye Chuan! At nightfall, the bustling soldiers finally quieted down slowly. After traveling such a long distance, spurring the horses to full speed, even their body forged with iron were fatigued. The soldiers lied inside the tent and fell asleep in succession. Of course, there were still a lot of soldiers on guarding duty. They walked around the military camp with a torch. Before dawn, the soldiers on duty slowly became sparse. Some were still standing at their post with swords in their hand, but they were sleeping leaning on the walls, rocks or tree trunk. In the beginning, they just wanted to shut their eyes for a while, but before long, they truly fell asleep. Some of them were even snoring. A cold wind blew over and rolled up fallen leaves, causing them to flutter in the streets and lanes. A tall figure suddenly appeared in the dark alley. He was so quiet that he didn¡¯t alert the attention of any guards. He stayed still for a while, and after a group of soldiers with a torch walked past the alley, he quietly walked out of the alley and with a flash, he was already ten meters away and with another flash, he disappeared into the dim light of night. Ye Chuan put a good use to Cyan Feather Technique to sneak into this heavily guarded small town by himself. Tonight, the main objectives were to look for the place where the commander of the enemy troops stayed, see what kind of personage was the person leading this invasion, and pry into the circumstances of the military forces of Da Qin Dynasty. As for the swift and fierce interception and counterattack, it was not too late to wait for the enemy to enter the mountain. This hastily made military camp was dark, only a two-storey small wooden house was still lit with an oil lamp. Ye Chuan carefully sneaked over, and sure enough, there were many soldiers guarding outside this house. Inside the study of the second floor, a youth was sitting straight. He was tall and sturdy, and he wore a thick and heavy battle armor. Even his face was completely covered, just his eyes were revealed. In the dead of the night, he unexpectedly was still not resting, he was watching a big map of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Beside him, a middle-aged scholar with a yellow goatee who was more than 50 years old was standing, he seemed to be an adviser. ¡°Great General, it is already very late at night, you should rest first, taking care of your dragon body is more important.¡± This middle-aged scholar yawned and said. His eyes were already blurred feeling sleepy, but the youth sitting behind the desk didn¡¯t have a trace of exhaustion. ¡°Tang Yixian, if you are tired, you can go to rest first, this Lord General still want to look at it for a while longer.¡± The general sitting behind the desk appeared young in age, but his voice was hoarse and harsh. For an unknown reason, his voice vaguely gave Ye Chuan a familiar feeling, seemingly, he had heard it before. After pausing for a bit, this general continued, ¡°I have obtained this opportunity with great difficulty, this is the heaven¡¯s will, this Lord General will lead the army into Cloud Mist Mountain Range and flatten Cloud Mist Sect!¡± The tone of this young general was calm, but his eyes shone with pallid light, and there was dense killing intent in his words as if he had a deep hatred towards Cloud Mist Sect! Ye Chuan found this slightly strange as he couldn¡¯t understand why this general had such a big hatred towards Cloud Mist Sect. But, one thing was confirmed, this youth before him was the commander of this enemy troops, so-called Iron Blooded General whose second nature was the massacre. If he killed him, 200,000 army will become a host of dragons without a head and their morale will plunge and they might even retreat before they enter Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Kill, or not kill? Ye Chuan who was hiding in the dark hesitated. Originally, the main objective of tonight was just to gather the intelligence. He had not prepared to attack so quickly, but, there were only Iron Blooded General and his advisor in the study. The cultivation of this Iron Blooded General was not low, Ye Chuan could vaguely sense that he was a great expert of later stage Daoist Master realm, but the advisor beside him was not worth mentioning. Suddenly summoning Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, Golden Cicada and other yao beasts, Ye Chuan had a high chance of killing this Iron Blooded Genera. If he didn¡¯t make a move now, then perhaps, he will not find such a good chance again! Chapter 314: Death is better than life Chapter 314: Death is better than life A cold wind blew over and the oil lamp on the desk swayed. A pile of documents on the edge of the desk scattered on the ground due to the cold wind. Some of them were the reports of scouts, and some were the military orders from the royal court. The middle-aged advisor Tang Yixian lowed his head and bend over to pick up the documents fell on the ground. And after piling up neatly, when he was about to rise, he suddenly shivered. On the dark corner of the study, at an unknown time, a figure had silently appeared! The figure was tall and expressionless, moreover, his gaze was colder than the cold wind that had just blown. After hesitating for a while, Ye Chuan was unable to miss this golden opportunity and suddenly appeared inside. Whoosh! Invisible airwaves suddenly emanated. The oil lamp on the table extinguished. The middle-aged advisor Tang Yixian swayed and stood unstably. The documents he had just picked up fell to the ground once again and were swept by those invisible airwaves. Countless papers rolled up and scattered everywhere. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t utter a word and without any nonsense, he directly rushed to Iron Blooded General with dense killing intent and ferociously punched out with cruel coldness. The study wasn¡¯t big so with one step, it could be traversed, becoming a hand to hand fight. The Iron Blooded General who was sitting behind the desk suddenly looked up. Strangely, there was no surprise and fear, he just coldly stretched out his hands to block and similarly sent out a punch. The two fists collided, and even fiercer airwaves broke out. The desk forged from the solid wood disintegrated, and all the papers also fluttered and disintegrated in the air. As for the middle-aged advisor Tang Yixian, he was trembling and before he could clearly see who Ye Chuan was, he vomited a mouthful of blood and was sent flying by invisible airwaves. And after colliding against the wall, he fell down from the second floor. ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Chuan shouted and rushed again. He did his best to kill this Iron Blooded General quickly, but he was shocked in his heart. Just a moment ago, circulating several Heaven Swallowing Talismans, even if his punch didn¡¯t have more than 100,000 jin strength, it should at least have 90,000 jin strength, but this Iron Blooded General was actually able to block bare-handed moreover he was in a hurry, how high was his cultivation base? Rumble! A loud sound resounded, the plank under the foot of Iron Blooded General suddenly cave in and a hole appeared, then falling down, he dodged the punch of Ye Chuan. Now, he was nowhere to be seen but his voice however resounded, ¡°Hahaha, Ye Chuan, I have waited for you. I waited for you until the dead of night, and you brat really come, hahaha¡­¡­¡± The sounds of sword pulling out from sheathes resounded from all around. In the middle of the night, many soldiers suddenly rushed out and flame soared everywhere, illuminating half of the sky red. Ye Chuan flashed and appeared on the rooftop, then looking around, his hands and legs became ice-cold. The Iron Blooded General was standing 100 meters away and a large group of experts clustered around him. Moreover, over 1000 soldiers were aiming their bows towards this small building from all direction. Further behind, groups after groups of guards were rushing over from all directions and even more from inside the tents. All of them were holding some kind of weapon. With the building he was standing as the center, the army of Da Qin Dynasty had made a layer upon layer of encirclement, and more and more torches were lit. Fell into a trap! This is a trap! The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk. He understood that he was careless, no wonder his heart was restless before, he had always felt that it was too easy to sneak in. As it turned out, this Iron Blooded General had prepared this trap using himself and that advisor Tang Yixian as baits to lure him in! This fellow is truly amazing, worthy of being the commander of 200,000 strong army! Ye Chuan quickly learned the greatness of Iron Blooded General and at the same time, the familiar feeling got even more intense. The voice of this fellow was hoarse and harsh, but he was sure that he had heard it somewhere before! ¡°What an Iron Blooded General, this Ye Chuan learned a lesson.¡± Ye Chuan carefully sized up this Iron Blooded General who standing 100 meters away. He wanted to see through the helmet of the other party and see who he was. Unfortunately, even after sizing up for a while, he gained nothing. The familiar feeling got stronger and stronger, but he couldn¡¯t remember where he had seen this fellow. ¡°Brat, since you know I am amazing, now, open your eyes and see who I am!¡± The Iron Blooded General ferociously glared at Ye Chuan and reached out to remove his helmet. Ye Chuan looked with a fixed gaze and his eyes shone when Iron Blooded General removed his helmet, unfortunately, Ye Chuan was disappointed. This treacherous and crafty Iron Blooded General unexpectedly was still wearing a mask underneath. Even after he took off his helmet, Ye Chuan was still unable to see his face! ¡°What, are you that anxious?¡± The Iron Blooded General sneered and throwing away the helmet, he slowly reached out to remove the mask to show his face. All around the building, exclamation resounded everywhere. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t utter a sound, the soldiers all around instead inhaled a mouthful of cold air at the same time. What kind of face was this? Not human not ghost, half was the face of human and the other half was cold steel. That appearance, it resembled as if his face was cut into two half while still alive, then the half was filled with iron. Ye Chuan kept his mouth shut and his complexion suddenly changed. Only after observing for a while, a familiar name appeared in his brain, ¡°Da Qin Crown Prince, Li Guang Han?¡± ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Iron Blooded General roared with laughter, he was just like a lunatic who cannot be extrapolated by common sense. After a burst of laughter, his laughter suddenly ceased and his complexion became ice-cold as he said, ¡°Brat, finally recognized me? That¡¯s right, I am Li Guang Han, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, hahaha¡­¡­¡± The heart was Ye Chuan sunk, and he instantly saw the light. He understood why Da Qin Dynasty didn¡¯t even show the most basic form of appearance and directly dispatch the army to flatten Cloud Mist Sect. The commander was not someone else, unexpectedly was Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. With this fellow who sought revenge just for an angry look, let alone flattening Cloud Mist Sect, if he could, then he would burn down the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range to vent off his hatred! The battle in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, especially at the end in Demonic Dragon Hall, the competition was intense. At that time, Ye Chuan clearly learned the behavior of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. With this fellow as the commander, even if this entire army of 200,000 fell in Cloud Mist Mountain Range, he would still want to destroy Cloud Mist Sect at any cost! There was no spare room to maneuver between them. ¡°As it turned out to be Your Highness, no wonder the military operations were lead with extraordinary skill.¡± Ye Chuan took a deep breath and calmly responded, ¡°Merely, I don¡¯t understand a matter, didn¡¯t you already die in Demonic Dragon Hall under Demonic Dragon Wheel? How¡­¡­¡± ¡°I died but am still alive! That strange air bubble sent me out of the paradise realm and I returned to the capital, merely, one half of my face was cut off by Demonic Dragon Wheel, now, I am neither human nor ghost, living the life that is worse than the death. Brat, everything is all thanks to you. Now, are you satisfied? My fucking life is worse than death, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han said while caressing his face and he cried while laughing. He had become a half awake half mad great devil. There was not even a bit of confidence and bearing of before. He had the appearance of mentally deranged, and let alone Ye Chuan, even the soldiers clustered around him were also scared and they subconsciously opened a small distance. Chapter 315: Will you wear a mask? Chapter 315: Will you wear a mask? ¡°As it turned out to be like that, I understand, Your Highness, it¡¯s truly a pity.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head as he finally understood what was going on, so he went on to say, ¡°There is a saying ever since ancient times, better make friends than make enemies, Your Highness, how about writing off the resentment of before? Besides, even if you have a personal enmity with me, you shouldn¡¯t vent your anger on the entire Cloud Mist Sect. Just because we are unable to hand over the required pills, dispatching 200,000 strong soldiers to attack my Cloud Mist Sect, Your Highness, don¡¯t you feel this is inappropriate?¡± Ye Chuan secretly sized up the surrounding terrain and began to look for the route of retreat. After hearing the news, more and more soldiers had rushed over here. Now, the entire 200,000 soldiers had tightly encircled him. In this situation, fighting alone to break out of this encirclement, he should have the strength of at least Half-Sage like White Haired Empress, otherwise, even if he wasn¡¯t hacked to death, he would still die due to exhaustion. ¡°Inappropriate, of course, it is inappropriate, so what? I have already said, I want to flatten your Cloud Mist Sect, even fowls and dogs will not be spared, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han roared with laughter and added with a ferocious face, ¡°Brat, now, tell, aren¡¯t you regretting for everything you did in Demonic Dragon Hall?¡± The face of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han twisted in anger as he gnashed his teeth. His heart was filled with hatred! Although he walked out alive from Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, the trajectory of his life had completely changed. His head was cut into two half, and according to the principle, he should have died. Fortunately, the people dispatched by the State Teacher with incredible foresight were waiting outside Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm for a long time, they immediately found him and quickly send him back to the capital. After that, the State Teacher personally used his great technique to help treat his wounds, pulling him back from his tomb. Unfortunately, the other half of his head couldn¡¯t grow again. If it was only about his face, then that was the minor matter, but the other half of his brain was also gone. Still, he luckily survived, but once every two or three days, he would become mad and he might meet his death at any time during the madness. Now that he was like this, he didn¡¯t have any hope to cultivate any peerless technique and he would remain at Rank 7 Daoist Master realm for his entire life. Because he lost one half of his brain, he didn¡¯t have any future prospect, and his intelligence had also suffered damage. Now, he couldn¡¯t think any complicated stuff, if he thought, then he would have a headache. As a result, his hope of ascending the throne and becoming next Da Qin King was also completely ruined. Even his current Crown Prince position was also crumbling. Numerous princes were glaring him like a tiger eyeing its prey and many ministers also showed disapproval and even had secretly submitted a written statement for impeachment. All his hopes of winning success and recognition unexpectedly became a nightmare, all his dreams were shattered, so how could Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han not hate? After surviving, he placed all the blame on Ye Chuan¡¯s head. So, immediately after he heard the news of Cloud Mist Sect being unable to hand over the required pills, he immediately knelt down before his father emperor and pleaded, then he hastily lead 200,000 soldiers to go to the war. ¡°Yes, it is too late to say regret now, in Demonic Dragon Hall, that Demonic Dragon Wheel should have cut off your entire head! It¡¯s too regretful that it only cut half!¡± Ye Chuan sneered. If Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han thought that he was regretting, then that was just his wishful thinking. ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­, today, I will kill you with my own hands!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han angrily roared and exerting strength on his tiptoes, he suddenly leaped swiftly towards Ye Chuan. Then, he firmly landed on the roof and ferociously punched. The fragments of roof tiles flew everywhere, and before the fist of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han arrived, the fist wind directly hit his face. Emperor Fist! In the first move, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han used this ferocious technique that was tailor made to the imperial family. He immediately used this technique wanting to punch a hole out of the body of Ye Chuan. He concentrated all his anger, resentment and unwillingness into this fist! Compared to the Emperor Fist he used in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, he seemed to have made a progress, it was more ferocious. ¡°Kill, kill, kill!¡± ¡°Kill, kill¡­¡­¡± The soldiers around the building shouted in unison. They cheered loudly for the valorous Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Da Qin Dynasty emphasized military merit and braveness. In the battlefield, all soldiers were like tigers and wolves. They often hung the head of their opponent on their waist and after the war, they were rewarded with the number of heads they had taken as the proof. Seeing the bravery of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, the soldiers crazily cheered forgetting that abnormal and frightening face of the latter. ¡°Well, you have come at just the right time!¡± Ye Chuan also shouted and rushing forward, he similarly punched out. He was enraging Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han for this moment. If he didn¡¯t create chaos, then how can he break out of this encirclement? Circulating all seven Heaven Swallowing Talismans, the moment their fists came into contact with each other, 126,000 jin strength suddenly burst forth. Whoosh! An invisible shock wave spread all around. Looking from far away, one could see the surrounding air was twisting like a ripple on the lake surface with the small building as the center. The soldiers who were standing 100 meters away simultaneously felt pain in the chest and were sent flying, as if an invisible heavy hammer had ferociously smashed them. One row after another row of soldiers with drawn arrows were also shaken back. The Emperor Fist of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was ferocious and powerful, but Ye Chuan¡¯s fist technique was also similarly ferocious. Every time, he condensed a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman, his strength would increase sharply by 18,000 jin, moreover, his current cultivation was also completely different from the time when he was at Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm! On the small building, both Ye Chuan and Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han took a step back and simultaneously let out a muffled groan. Colliding head-on, both sides had equal power! The right half of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han¡¯s face that was cased with iron was ice-cold without any expression, but the left half had rich expression. He was utterly shocked in his heart. In Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t withstand this single blow, fighting head-on, Ye Chuan was unable to take on his one move, but now, how long has it been, he unexpectedly was well-matched against him? ¡°Kill!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han roared loudly and ferociously rushed forward once again. The higher the cultivation of Ye Chuan and the faster his cultivation speed, the more he couldn¡¯t stay alive! In such an extremely short period of time, Ye Chuan had already become so outstanding, if Ye Chuan was left alone to cultivate, then wouldn¡¯t Ye Chuan be able to defeat him before long and he would no longer have any hope to avenge himself personally and instead die in the hands of Ye Chuan? Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han didn¡¯t dare to think more, otherwise, he would vomit blood to death. ¡°Your Highness, it would be best to wear your mask first before fighting. With your current appearance, even if you are unable to beat someone to death, you can scare them to death!¡± Ye Chuan sneered without giving the impression of weakness, moreover, used his mouth that was sharper than any sword to stab the sore spot of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. During this period, all those who saw his face would be frightened. In former days, when girls saw him, they would be dying to strip naked and stuck to him, but now, even his imperial concubines would turn pale when they saw him and they all feared the night. Before, they enjoyed lying on his arms and they also strived for his favor. But now, it was a torment for them to lie on his bosom. They couldn¡¯t fall asleep and would have a nightmare when they fall asleep with great difficulty. Ye Chaun wasn¡¯t wrong, as a result, his words thoroughly drove Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han nuts. He dashed ahead regardless of his safety. Just before the moment when the fists of the two people were about to collide, Ye Chuan suddenly smiled evilly. Ye Chuan exerted powers in his toes and jumped off the roof. Taking advantage of the moment when Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han had lost his reason, he slipped away, leaving behind some words, ¡°Your Highness, goodbye, I don¡¯t fight with a person without a head and without a face. Its bad luck to lose and winning is also boring. Cloud Mist Mountain Range is not your battlefield. If you don¡¯t want the remaining half of your face destroyed, then run far away from this place, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan laughed heartily and fled at his fastest speed. He wanted to use his unparalleled style technique taking advantage of the chaos. Chapter 316: Extinction Taoist Chapter 316: Extinction Taoist ¡°Brat, where are you going?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han flew into a rage, then jumping down the roof, he pursued relentlessly unwilling to let Ye Chuan off. Unfortunately, at this moment, the legs of Ye Chuan was already about to touch the ground. As soon as he came into contact with the ground, he could use earth style of peerless style technique to instantly escape far away from this military camp. Ye Chuan turned back and coldly looked at Li Guang Han, but in the next moment, his heart suddenly sank. The earth below his leg suddenly became harder than an iron plate and his peerless style technique lost its efficacy. He repeatedly tried three times, but the result was the same. Since the earth style didn¡¯t work, he tried to use wind style of peerless style technique, but the result was the same. At an unknown time, an obscure energy fluctuation had appeared in the air. Not good! It¡¯s a restriction, someone has used a powerful technique to lay out a powerful restriction surrounding the radius of one kilometer, so all his style techniques were useless. The heart of Ye Chuan sunk more and more and his heartbeat also began to speed up. He understood that he had still looked down upon Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Not only this fellow took the risk to make him take the bait, he also arranged an ambush with massive forces, moreover, secretly laid out a powerful restriction, preparing to completely kill him! ¡°Hahaha, brat, run, why aren¡¯t you running?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han roared with laughter. He was proud of himself. At this moment, his neither human nor ghost face looked especially frightening and ferocious, ¡°Now that you have come here, did you think that you still have the chance to run away? Unless I also cut your face into two halves, how can this crown prince be willing to let you go? Hahaha¡­¡­¡± From a dark corner, a tall and thin figure gradually emerged, becoming clearer and clearer as if he was slowly walking out from the void. This was a middle-aged Taoist wearing a suit of old-fashioned grey robe. He had a horsetail whisk in his hand. His body was emaciated and his beard was grey but his skin was fine and smooth like that of an infant. He didn¡¯t have the aloof and refined demeanor of a transcendent being, but he gave people a strange feeling, seemingly, he had used some kind of evil technique to transfer the life of an infant to his body. ¡°Your Highness, this poor Taoist pays respect to you.¡± This middle-aged Taoist went over to the front of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and bowed. His pair of eyes however were coldly looking at Ye Chuan. This person himself was already strange, but his eyes were even stranger. ¡°Hahaha, Extinction Taoist, you came just in time. Hold the lines for this crown prince and see how I will kill this brat, no, cut his face into two halves. At that time, use your great technique to control his injury. Don¡¯t let him die so quickly. First, I want to cut his head half, then make him see how this crown prince destroys his sect and how I *** his junior apprentice sisters, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han roared with laughter. The right half of his face was still ice-cold without any change but his left half was twisted in excitement. Madman! This fellow is a true madman! Ye Chuan shook his head. For a dignified Da Qin Crown Prince to speak out such words in public, this wasn¡¯t being ferocious and overbearing rather was perverted. ¡°Your Highness, feel free to do anything, inside this Extinction Restriction of this poor Taoist, it is impossible for this brat to escape. Merely, this poor Taoist is far inferior to heaven-defying State Teacher, I fear there is no way to make this brat survive after he lost half of his face and head. But of course, using a little trick, I can transfer his injuries to some cats and dogs, making him continue to live for a few more days. Heh heh.¡± Extinction Taoist sinisterly laughed as he sized up Ye Chuan, making him feel uncomfortable. As the name implies, Extinction Restriction severs heaven, earth, wind and water, severing all the way out. It was the bane of all style techniques. Looking from far away, one could see a faint black light halo enveloping everything within the radius of one kilometer with this small building as the center, like a huge dark iron cooking pot. The inside and outside of this huge dark iron cooking pot were separated, they were two completely different worlds. No matter how powerful a style technique master was, he would not be able to escape. Relying on this Extinction Restriction, Extinction Taoist been in imperial palace for many years and had become the favorite of one of the mighty figures no-one dared to approach in Da Qin imperial palace which was full of experts. In these last few years, the overwhelming majority of experts that had sneaked into the imperial palace to assassinate State Teacher and Da Qin King fell in this Extinction Restriction and they weren¡¯t able to escape. This time he had come out to battle because Li Guang Han had invited him relying on his identity of crown prince especially to dig a hole for Ye Chuan and lay out an ambush. Sure enough, on the first day they had arrived at Cloud Mist Mountain Range, they succeed! ¡°It¡¯s enough! Several days are more than enough. I can destroy this brat¡¯s sect and trample on his junior apprentice sisters over and over again, hahaha!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han took a step forward and his killing intent soared as he was about to use Emperor Fist again. ¡°Slow down, Your Highness, don¡¯t you want to know what Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia said about you in Demonic Dragon Hall after you were sent out of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm by that strange air bubble?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly said. ¡°Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han paused. Even though he knew that this was Ye Chuan¡¯s delaying tactics, he still couldn¡¯t help stopping. Not mentioning was fine, but since Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was mentioned, his heart felt pain again. Even though he had countless women throughout his life, the first time he saw Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixi, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was startled beyond words. That beautiful and exquisite face of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, that pure and noble aura and innate cold and noble temperament, everything change into a fascinating inscription in his mind and he vowed to pursue her. Unfortunately, the dream was very good but the reality was very cruel. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han wanted to pursue Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, but the latter didn¡¯t even spare a glance at him, instead she cherished Ye Chuan, this disciple of the third-rate sect. When he was intact, confident and powerful, he was already unable to obtain the favor of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, now that he only had half face becoming neither human nor ghost, how could he pursue her? Now, he couldn¡¯t obtain her with soft methods and using force to force Heavenly Yao Sect to hand over Heaven Maiden was also impossible. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was bitterly disappointed and dejected, if he had an opportunity to force himself upon her, then he will not miss that chance, even if he didn¡¯t obtain the heart of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he wanted to obtain her body. But the problem was Heavenly Yao Sect wasn¡¯t a third rate sect like Cloud Mist Sect. It was the cultivating sect second to none, did Da Qin Dynasty have the strength to crush them? ¡°Your Highness, Zixia girl said, she said that you are actually pretty good, merely¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan secretly sensed the fluctuation of Extinction Restriction, since his cultivation wasn¡¯t sufficient to forcibly use peerless style technique, he could only think of other ways to break out of this encirclement. He secretly looked at this pitch-black night sky, intentionally lengthening his tone. ¡°Merely what? Brat, spit it out, what did Zixia girl say?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han questioned. On one hand, he was eager to know what Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had said, and on the other hand, he felt secure in the knowledge that he had strong backing, moreover, he was sure that Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t fly away even if given wings, as a result, he didn¡¯t care even though he perfectly knew that Ye Chuan was either stalling for time or trying to trick him. ¡°Zixia girl said, when the wind starts to blow, even a pig standing at the air vent can fly, but, a lazy frog cannot fly. Because even if a pig is lazy and stupid, it still knows how to run forward, but frog only squats there indulging in a fantasy about what it is like if it sprouts a pair of wings.¡± Looking at Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, Ye Chuan said in all seriousness as if such mattered had truly occurred. Ye Chuan had a smile yet not a smile, but Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was fuming with anger as he suppressed his impulse to pounce on. Today, if he didn¡¯t kill Ye Chuan, then even if he became a ghost, he wouldn¡¯t die content! Chapter 317: Jianxuehong Chapter 317: Jianxuehong [T/n: Jianxuehong¡ªJian: see, xue: blood, hong: red] The air rippled once again with fist energy. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han punched out once again and under his fury, the momentum of this fierce and overbearing Emperor Fist was even more frightening. Ye Chuan took a deep breath and circulating seven Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he used all his strength to punch out too. The two fists collided and violent shock waves spread all around. The soldiers who were standing a hundred meters away swayed. Even 100 meters away, they were not able to stand stably. The experts mixed in the midst of soldiers quickly retreated and aimed their sharp arrows at the space between the eyebrows, throat, chest and so on vital parts of Ye Chuan. The arrowhead was pitch-black as they had smeared a deadly poison on it, but, without the order of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, no one dared to release their arrows. ¡°Again, kill!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han didn¡¯t believe in heresy and also didn¡¯t believe that he would be unable to defeat Ye Chuan who had just broken through to Daoist Master realm being Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert. He rushed forward ferociously and his fist became even more powerful as he mobilized the power of his entire body. He did his best to kill Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan also met him head-on. He held his head high and utter a long, loud cry as he vaguely turned into a half human half dragon. Seeing this, the complexion of Extinction Taoist became solemn. Dong! A muffled sound resounded as the fists of two people collided. Ye Chuan let out a muffled groan and took advantage of this recoil to forcibly break out of the encirclement. Meanwhile, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han however gave a blood-curdling scream. Now, his right fist was dripping with blood. Someone with sharp eyes had noticed that sharp blades had appeared at an unknown time in the cracks of Ye Chuan¡¯s fingers and when the fists of two people collided, it was equivalent to Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han ferociously punching sharp blades! ¡°Shoot, kill him!¡¯ ¡°Release the arrow!¡± The soldiers hurriedly released arrows, and swish, swish, swish, wind breaking sounds continuously resounded. Ye Chuan swayed, and displaying Cyan Feather Technique, he quickly rushed forward in the midst of arrow rain. He instantly covered the 100 meters distance and arrived in front of soldiers. Since he was unable to use style techniques to leave, he would forcibly break out of this encirclement! The soldiers in the front quickly fell into chaos. Ye Chuan was like a tiger entering a flock of sleep. He rushed left and right, but no one was able to block him. Just his half dragon half human appearance alone was enough to scare a lot of people so much that they trembled, and as for his fists, there was not a single one that could withstand. No matter how many ordinary soldiers there were, they could stop him. A horsetail whisk suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chuan. It spread out towards Ye Chuan wanting to cover the head of Ye Chuan. Each hair of this horsetail whisk was very light and was even thinner than a human hair, but, when it was about to stab the head of Ye Chuan, it instantly became dead straight, and stabbed as if a spear. Extinction Taoist who had been helping Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han hold the lines finally made move. The horsetail whisk in his hand, when soft, it was very soft, it could sweep off like sharp flying swords, and when hard, it was very hard, instantly stabbing like thousands of swords. This horsetail whisk seemed ordinary but in fact, it was a big killing weapon known as Jianxuehong of Extinction Taoist, if anyone with flesh and blood run into it, they would shed blood. Even wearing layer upon layer of armor was useless, it was specifically for breaking the doughty body of close combat experts of this world. After transforming into half dragon state to break out of the encirclement, ordinary arrows couldn¡¯t even scratch him, but facing the horsetail whisk Jianxuehong of Extinction Taoist, Ye Chuan immediately felt danger. He didn¡¯t dare to collide head-on. He swayed left and right and retreated quickly leaving behind afterimages. He wanted to break out from another direction. A powerful fist wind suddenly came from behind. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han had also rushed up, and blocking the route of retreat of Ye Chuan, he screamed, ¡°Scram, this crown prince will personally kill this brat!¡± The surrounding soldiers quickly retreated and open up space and Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han rushed to the back of Ye Chuan and ferociously punched the back of the latter. In the front, there was Extinction Taoist with unfathomable cultivation, and behind, there was furious Rank 7 Daoist Master realm Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Moreover, he was surrounded heavily in all sides by soldiers. Now, Ye Chuan was screwed! The soldiers laid out a defense line and watched this battle. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han had a hideous grin as he had a thought-out plan. The entire battalion was seething with excitement. With 200,000 soldiers heavily besieging Ye Chuan along with himself and Extinction Taoist, he didn¡¯t believe that Ye Chuan had the ability to escape with life today! Ye Chuan turned around and ignoring Extinction Taoist behind him, he outrageously initiated a ferocious counterattack towards Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Ye Chuan also sent out a fist. It appeared as if he wanted to pull down the latter even if he died. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han slightly paused as he had a lingering fear in his heart. First, he had to carefully look whether the cracks of Ye Chuan¡¯s fingers had blades or not before he continued to push forward. ¡°Your Highness, he is just pretending!¡± The fists of two people quickly collided, and at that instant, Ye Chuan smiled coldly. He suddenly circulated Dragon Slaying Talisman within his body and opening his mouth, he vomited out a blood red flying sword. ¡°Your Highness, be careful!¡± Extinction Taoist turned pale with fright and accelerated. This Dragon Slaying Flying Sword bestowed to him by cyan robed Meng Qi was something even the evil dragon Meng Ao was unable to resist. With such a close distance, if Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han wasn¡¯t careful, his head might be cut off! ¡°Brat, you are pretending again!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han¡¯s heart was also in jitters and he instinctively moved his vital part sideways and this sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword penetrated through the iron cast right half of his face, leaving behind a wide opening. At the same time, Ye Chuan felt pain in his back as thousands of hairs of horsetail whisk stabbed him. Unfortunately, he was unable to kill Li Guang Han, this lunatic! Ye Chuan let out a muffled groan and without turning back to look at Extinction Taoist, he rushed forward, then with the flashing of red light, Dragon Slaying Flying Sword cut off the head of more than dozen of soldiers. The soldiers were so scared that they retreated simultaneously. A low and powerful dragon roar suddenly resounded in the middle of the night and a demonic dragon urgently rushed down from the clouds. He also had many misgivings towards the Extinction Restriction of Extinction Taoist, so he threw a long rope from far away and said: ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, grab quickly!¡± Seeing Ye Chuan was in danger, Little Long¡¯er who was holding the lines at the distant hillock quickly rushed forward to reinforce. Ye Chuan jumped high and grabbed the rope that fell from the sky, then one dragon and one human quickly soared towards the sky. Little Long¡¯er roared once again and used its fastest speed to fly straight upward. As long as Ye Chuan was outside the range of Extinction Restriction, everything would be easy to handle. ¡°Want to run? How can that be so easy?¡± Extinction Taoist suddenly snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of a soldier, then shot. Swish, the arrow snapped the rope in the sky, the heart of Ye Chuan who was about to exit the range of Extinction Restriction sunk, and he fell from the sky. Meanwhile, the air distorted and the range of faint black colored extinction restrictions increased sharply, engulfing no less than 5 kilometers. Extinction Taoist used all his strength to push the range of his Extinction Restriction to the limit. Since the time he had made a debut, no one had ever been able to escape with their life intact from his Extinction Restriction. And Ye Chuan will not be the expectation! ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan¡­¡­¡± Little Long¡¯er was startled and shouted from the high altitude. He turned around and dived down, this time, he dashed ahead regardless of his safety, wanting to directly rush into the extinction restriction to save Ye Chuan. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, leave!¡± Ye Chuan unbelievably stopped in midair and contending with the pressure of Extinction Restriction, he swept past in the sky. Insanely circulating 7 Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he used Cyan Feather Technique to its limit, and under the watchful eyes of 200,000 soldiers, he flew away and landed in a dark small alley. ¡°Chase, don¡¯t let him run away!¡± ¡°Seal the camp, don¡¯t let even a single mosquito fly away!¡± The soldiers got into action and heavily sealed off the camp. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and Extinction Taoist flew over to chase, but in the blink of an eye, Ye Chuan had already disappeared without a trace as if an air. When soldiers lifted a torch, at one corner of this small alley, they discovered a dark underground passage. ¡°Extinction Taoist, didn¡¯t you say, under Extinction Restriction, any style technique is useless?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han gnashed his teeth. He couldn¡¯t help feeling unhappy seeing Ye Chuan had fled. And touching the hole left behind by Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, he was even angrier. Now he was neither human nor ghost, he only had half human face and the other half was an ice-cold iron face. Now, even that half iron face had a hole, making him all the more unpresentable, now, how should he face people? Li Guang Han was truly driven nuts and under fury, he lost respect he had towards Extinction Taoist in former days. ¡°This is not a style technique, is a hole made with pure physical power, and that is something Extinction Restriction cannot stop.¡± Extinction Taoist said. His complexion was also unsightly, ¡°But, although that brat Ye Chuan ran out using this underground passage, but he shouldn¡¯t have reached that far!¡± ¡°Chase!¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han jumped and stepping on a flying sword, he ferociously chased. Behind, Extinction Taoist and numerous experts chased in succession. And behind them, a large number of army entered the mountain. Chapter 318: You are still too inexperienced Chapter 318: You are still too inexperienced Passing through the underground tunnel dug out by pangolins, Ye Chuan quickly slipped out of the camping site of Da Qin Dynasty army. Outside, Little Long¡¯er was already waiting long ago, then one human and one dragon quickly left. Returning to the hillock, Ye Chuan treated his injuries on the spot. After he lifted his war robe, thickly dotted small red dots with blood oozing out on his back became visible. They appeared red dots from far away but upon taking a closer look, each one of them was hair sized blood hole. They had made a large area of his back feel numb. Even Half Dragon State was unable to stop, if an ordinary person was in his place, then wouldn¡¯t he/she have turned into a Swiss cheese? Ye Chuan had a lingering fear in his heart. He took out a bottle of pills and handed over to Little Long¡¯er, asking him to help smear it on his wounds. After refining Half Dragon Physique, in addition, condensing seventh Heaven Swallowing Talisman, his strength had reached terrifying 126,000 jin. He could stand toe to toe against Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t at any disadvantage when he collided head-on with the latter¡¯s Emperor Fist. But, encountering Extinction Taoist like expert with a big killing weapon, the matter was different. The superiority in physical strength didn¡¯t show, and his Half Dragon Physique wasn¡¯t able to withstand his attack. This clearly showed a large gap in cultivation realms. ¡°Your Excellency, the people of Da Qin Dynasty are chasing up.¡± Flame Devil hurriedly came out from the midst of thick forest and reported the circumstance to Ye Chuan. Looking down standing at a high place, one could see flames soaring at the foot of the mountain. A large number of soldiers with a torch in their hand was entering the mountain. One team after another were chasing up with dense killing intent. Other than Extinction Taoist, no one knew how many other experts were hidden in the midst of this army. ¡°They have come at just the right time, transmit my orders, retreat and let them chase, let them rush deep into the mountain.¡± Ye Chuan sneered. With the soldiers pressed on to the border, he didn¡¯t fear enemy troops attacking in a large scale rather feared them moving steadily and act cautiously to push forward. Like that, the great disparity between the military strength of both sides would completely emerge. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han just arrived at the foot of the mountain and began to attack on a large scale, attempting to annihilate Cloud Mist Sect in a spurt of energy. This gave Ye Chuan an opportunity to exploit. The path to enter the mountain was very complicated, many places simply didn¡¯t have any path, so would it be so easy to attack Cloud Mist Sect from the front? Ye Chuan stood up and using a secret law, he summoned Old Demon of Mount Yin and said, ¡°Rhodes, I am leaving first, I leave this place to you.¡± ¡°Kakaka, Your Excellency, rest assured, I will carefully entertain our guests! So many lambs, if I was still at Five Fingered Buddhist Cave, then how could I have such a good opportunity? Kakaka¡­¡­¡± Rhodes laughed and he disappeared with a flash. And on the ground, all over the mountains and plains, soft shoots began to spring out, then they grew up into vines of different shapes and sizes and began swaying like snakes. Chaotic Dance of Vine Demon! The Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was extremely excited and he directly used his most powerful deadly innate skill. As a vine demon known as Thousand Hands Demon, the place he liked the most was a boundless dense forest that stretched as far as eyes could see. When battling in that kind of places, his fighting capability doubles. Li Guang Han had no less than 200,000 soldiers under his leadership. This number was already sufficient enough, but compared to the vines all over the mountains and plains, that number definitely paled into insignificance. Relying on these vines, Rhodes could accurately know the position and military strength of each group of Da Qin army. Then, he could concentrate to attack violently. Such was the situation when he was still in Daoist Master realm, once he breakthrough to Half-Sage realm, and even Sage realm, every vine that broke out from the ground would change into a true vine demon. At that time, this will become a true killing move!¡± ¡°Yi Yanzi, Na Gusi, you two are to stay behind to help Rhodes. Remember, if your attack fails, immediately retreat, don¡¯t zealously continue fighting.¡± Ye Chuan instructed and flew away riding on the back of Little Long¡¯er. Who was the commander of Da Qin troops? Now, he already knew and he had also experienced the power of the first-rate expert at the side of Li Guang Han. Now, he needed to treat his wounds and recharge his strength. He needed to wait for an opportunity or wait for Da Qin troops to show a fatal flaw. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t go far. He didn¡¯t return straight to Cloud Mist Sect. He stopped at the peak of an unknown mountain and sat cross-legged on the spot in contemplation. This was the highest peak in the neighborhood of the ancient Pingyuan town. Standing on the summit, one could clearly see the ancient town below and could also see the movement of Da Qin army. Little Long¡¯er transform back into a human form and climb up a tall tree at the summit, firstly to help Ye Chuan by becoming his dharma protector and secondly to observe the circumstance below so that he could respond quickly if there is any chance in circumstance. ¡°General has ordered to enter the mountain and flatten Cloud Mist Sect.¡± ¡°Beheading a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, you will be rewarded 100 taels and capturing devil Ye Chuan, you will be rewarded 100 li fief.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ On the foot of the mountain, different levels of leaders shouted loudly and lead their teams into the mountain with a torch in their hand. From above, they look just like a dancing dragon in the middle of the night. As for Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who called himself Iron Blooded General, he was already halfway up the hill with numerous experts of the imperial palace and his bodyguards clustering around him. Extinction Taoist holding horsetail whisk Jianxuehong was personally beside Li Guang Han to safeguard him. The alae of his nose frequently twitched and he regulated the advancing direction of the troop. ¡°Extinction Taoist, how far is that brat Ye Chuan?¡± Li Guang Han asked. His complexion was gloomy and he already couldn¡¯t wait any longer. Ye Chuan was heavily surrounded, moreover, was trapped in Extinction Restriction, but, such a good chance slipped off his hand. Thinking about this, he involuntarily found it difficult to bear. Now, since Ye Chuan had not fled far, moreover, he was seriously injured by the horsetail whisk of Extinction Taoist, if he couldn¡¯t kill him tonight, then it would be hard to find such good opportunity later in future. ¡°I cannot say how far, but¡­¡­, Your Highness, there are yao beasts in mountain and it is even more dangerous at night, how about waiting for the dawn to chase him?¡± Extinction Taoist frowned. From the faint aura left by Ye Chuan, he could sense that Ye Chuan was not that far away in this mountain. But, yao beasts were running amuck in the mountain and it was dark at night at this moment, so he felt that searching and killing Ye Chuan at this moment was very dangerous beyond doubt. Compared to Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, Extinction Taoist was a lot more cautious. In the battle at the campsite, he understood the strength of Ye Chuan. The cultivation base of the latter was not that high, but his physical body was so strong that he was actually able to withstand the attack of his horsetail whisk, moreover, not mentioning that his physical power was astonishing, he had a whole bag of tricks and killing moves emerged in an endless stream. This kind of person would always be the most difficult to deal with. At this time, going up the mountain to chase and kill him, a single carelessness would lead to meeting his counterattack in turn. If it was not the case for his cultivation base being not high, merely Rank 2 Daoist Master realm, Extinction Taoist wouldn¡¯t have dared to chase after him. ¡°Wait unto the dawn? At that time, that brat would have already run to who knows where, how can we chase him?¡± Li Guang Han gnashed his teeth. Since he was able to sit on the position of Da Qin Crown Prince, he also wasn¡¯t stupid, on the contrary, he was intelligent and he knew that it was dangerous to climb up the mountain at this time. But, his hatred towards Ye Chuan prevailed over everything. As long as he could kill Ye Chuan, he wouldn¡¯t mind paying a heavy price. Even the matter of annihilating Cloud Mist Sect was secondary! ¡°Yes, we have to chase now, taking advantage of this time when he is injured, we should chase and kill him!¡± Adviser Taing Yixian also chimed in loudly. He didn¡¯t let the opportunity to flatter slip. It was dangerous in the mountain, he also knew this point, but since there was Extermination Taoist along with numerous experts of imperial palace guarding them, which blind yao beast would dare to block their way? ¡°Fine then, turn left and walk beside that cliff in the front.¡± Extermination Taoist loudly pointed out the way but he secretly sighed in his heart. If it was Da Qin King personally leading the troops, then he would have never done this. He would have acted cautiously building strongholds one by one, and only after arriving at Cloud Mist Sect, he would have attacked with full power. As ginger gets spicier as it gets older, compared to Da Qin King, Li Guang Han, this Da Qin Crown Prince was still too inexperienced. Extermination Taoist had the mind to suggest how Li Guang Han should handle this, but he swallowed all words before they got out of his mouth. Carefully weighing a person¡¯s words and closely watching his expression, he knew that furious Li Guang Han would basically not listen to his suggestion to not enter the mountain at this moment, moreover, Li Guang Han also didn¡¯t have the patience to slowly fight a long-drawn-out battle. Extinction Taoist coldly glared at the middle-aged adviser Tang Yixian full of disdain. Such people who only knew how to play a scheming game and piss his pants on the battlefield, he hated such type of people the most. Now he was doing his utmost to flatter, but when they encounter danger, he would die without knowing how he died, truly not knowing the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth! Chapter 319: Time to choose Chapter 319: Time to choose Differently shaped vines slowly occupied every inch of this dense forest and slowly its range got bigger and bigger. Old Demon of Mount Yin was like a stranded fish put back into the water. This dense rainforest was like his garden. More and more people climbed up the mountain and the rows of torches became a long fiery dragon. Even after Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and others crossed halfway up the hill, Old Demon of Mount Yin didn¡¯t make a move; Even after several hundreds of elite soldiers rush up immediately after them, Old Demon of Mount Yin still didn¡¯t make a move. Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi were somewhat unable to control, but this old evil spirit still lied low in the groove waiting silently. After nearly one-third of pursuing troops crossed the halfway point, Old Demon of Mount Yin finally made a move. Sad and shrill sounds suddenly resounded throughout the night sky. The first one to die was a small leader who had over a hundred elite troops behind him. This entire group of people entered the woods that appeared ordinary. They didn¡¯t see anything strange around them, but after walking a few steps, the small leader in the front suddenly fell into a hole. This hole wasn¡¯t deep, but unfortunately, there just happened to be a sharp rock protruding inside, and it directly penetrated the chest of this small leader. He was beyond saving in an instant. The soldiers behind quickly rushed up and lifting the torch to illuminate, they saw a scalp tingling scene. A big leader quickly heard the news and he rushed over to examine. After examining for a while, he regarded this as an ordinary accident so he ordered soldiers to continue advancing. ¡°Everyone, be careful, pay attention to your underfoot!¡± ¡°Raise the torch higher, keep up the pace and be careful to not fall behind!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The deputy leader of the squad temporarily took the command and he walked forward as he warned loudly. In the dense forest, there were thousands of this kind of small squads, scattered everywhere moving towards the peak. They had received orders to search out injured Ye Chuan. The soldiers weren¡¯t afraid, they were even talking and laughing. Like the big leader, they treated the matter of just now as an accident, but soon, the entire group of people felt something was strange. Just after walking a short distance, the deputy leader who had just taken the lead met with an accident. The difference was, he didn¡¯t fell into a hole, rather he misstepped and fell while walking and his neck happened to clip on a vine that was tied on two trees. Also, no one knew what kind of vine this was but it was very thin and tough comparable to a steel string, moreover, was as sharp as a blade. With the weight of deputy leader, his neck was cut open by this extremely thin vine and his entire head nearly fell off. Soldiers hastily rushed up, but they couldn¡¯t stop bleeding even though they used their hands to cover his throat. ¡°There is¡­¡­, there is a mountain demon, quick¡­¡­¡± The deputy leader struggled for a while, then his head slanted to one side as he stopped breathing. It was good that he died as death ended all his troubles, but other soldiers were panic-stricken. Their two leaders had died in succession, moreover, they had died so strangely, it was truly terrifying when they carefully thought about those incidents. Cloud Mist Mountain Range had an extensive chain of mountains, it covered more than several thousand kilometers. The mountains were covered with dense forests and it had a wide expanse of untraversed forest and ever since ancient time, there were many legends about this forest. According to one legend, there was a kind of mountain demon in these mountains. It was not much bigger than a monkey but was super strong and fast and it could even summon wind and rain. Unlike common yao beasts, mountain demons were evil creatures somewhat similar to specters, which especially sucked essence blood and vital yang of people. It couldn¡¯t be killed with an ordinary method. Moreover, it comes out for food at night and meeting it was equivalent to meet one¡¯s doom. Because its shape was somewhat similar to a monkey, it was also called the mountain monkey. Seeing the death of their two leaders in succession, in addition, the words of deputy leader before his death, this made soldiers quickly recall this terrifying legend. At this moment, everyone was sweating profusely in their head beset with imaginary fears. There were many people climbing up the mountain, but they had scattered all around. Even though the entire 200,000 soldiers had come out, with this mountain being very big, two hundred men squads were at least one kilometer away. This small amount of distance was nothing on a flat ground, but in the midst of dense rainforest, this distance appeared as if those two squads were at the two ends of the world. Very often, they could hear sounds but couldn¡¯t see people. With the death of both leader and deputy leader and that terrifying rumor, soldiers quickly fell into chaos. They became a host of dragons without a head. Some people insisted on moving forward towards the summit and join the big army, some people suggested to stay on the spot and wait for the dawn to move forward and some people wanted to retreat, saying they didn¡¯t dare to continue advancing. Rustle, rustle, a rustling sound came at that moment. The sounds weren¡¯t big but it resembled the footsteps of people. ¡°Everyone, be careful!¡± An experienced soldier quickly became alert. Unfortunately, a host of dragons without a head was unable to quickly get into a battle formation to defend. Strange vines suddenly came from all directions. Underfoot, stone gaps, bushes¡­¡­, countless vines sprang out from all places, tying up soldiers¡¯ limbs, body or neck and even pierced through their chest like blades. Blood-curdling screams suddenly resounded throughout the night sky. The nearby 100 men squad rushed over, hearing the news, but seeing the scene in front of them, their scalp tingled and they trembled, raising the torch in their hand. In a short period of time, a squad of 100 men was completely annihilated. Everyone had different wounds, but one thing was the same. Each corpse was withered, they had turned into mummies without a drop of blood within their body. And the strange matter was, they couldn¡¯t see a drop of blood on the ground. ¡°It¡¯s mountain demon, specializing in sucking essence blood and vital yang, definitely is a mountain demon.¡± Someone quickly recalled that terrifying legend. All soldiers who had rushed over were terrified and before the leader could examine what had happened, a sad and shrill scream resounded once again. A similar scene appeared all over the mountain in succession. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes drifted from place to place, moving freely in the dense forest while killing one squad after another. Once in a while, when he encountered an expert mixed within the soldiers, he naturally let Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi deal with him. He was only responsible to create widespread panic and chaos. His strange laughter continuously reverberated through the mountain. With the cover of night and dense forest, Old Demon of Mount Yin killed everywhere. He had never before felt this carefree. Under Ye Chuan, there was no better person than him to create widespread panic and chaos. The Da Qin army that entered the mountain quickly fell into chaos. The group of Li Guang Han that had been walking straight towards the summit in the front suddenly stopped. They turned around and look back at the dense forest behind them and they became solemn. The aura of Ye Chuan was getting nearer and nearer. It was very likely that Ye Chuan was treating his injury not far away at the peak of this mountain, but at this moment, suddenly a large scale chaos had occurred behind them. The panicked soldiers were making an uproar and screaming. This made them feel nervous, moreover, they didn¡¯t know how many ambushes Ye Chuan laid down on this mountain. ¡°Your Highness, this is a trap! This brat Ye Chuan is clearly baiting us. We must order the entire army to retreat and withdraw from the mountain. We cannot hesitate!¡± Extermination Taoist warned with a serious expression. The means of Ye Chuan, he had expected them. The mountain was covered with dense forest, the sky was dark, the soldiers were scattered everywhere at this moment, moreover, a widespread chaos had occurred among the soldiers, this was fatal, a single carelessness could make the entire army fall apart. Li Guang Han was in an awkward situation and his complexion was livid. They had chased to this place with great difficulty and he knew that Ye Chuan was not far away in the front, so turning away and retreating at this moment, not only all his previous efforts would be wasted, he would also lose this golden opportunity. Continuing forward, not mentioning whether he could kill Ye Chuan in one fell swoop, the army behind might suffer even more powerful ambush and have heavy casualties. And once the army dispersed in defeat, it would be difficult to gather new army once again. Using 200,000 soldiers to bet on a chance to kill Ye Chuan, was it worth it? Li Guang Han hesitated as he encountered a difficult choice. Chapter 320: A villain is poisonous Chapter 320: A villain is poisonous ¡°Your Highness, that brat Ye Chuan is ahead, he is screwed when he is caught. Meanwhile, you can order the army to retreat. The cultivation base of that brat is not up to much, moreover, is injured, we don¡¯t need many people to kill him, just taking along a squad of bodyguards is enough to kill him.¡± The middle-aged advisor Tang Yixian realized the thoughts of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han so he stepped forward to suggest. This suggestion was perfect beyond doubt for this situation. The eyes of Li Guang Han shone. Previously, he had ordered the army to enter the mountain to search for hiding Ye Chuan, but now, he had already locked on to the aura of the latter, so there will be no effect even if the army retreats. This is a good suggestion! Advisor Tang Yixian was skilled in strategy but even more good at figuring out the thoughts of people, as a result, he was able to resolve the difficult problem in the heart of Li Guang Han. ¡°Good, transmit my orders, the army is to retreat immediately to the camp. Tang Yixian, after returning to the capital, I will reward you for your first-class merit!¡± Li Guang Han ordered loudly and walked away, leading the crowd towards the summit. Only a messenger turned around and went down the mountain, and soon, a low compelling bugle sound resounded throughout the night sky. Then, the panicked and chaotic soldiers scattered everywhere retreating in succession. ¡°Your Highness, it is unsuitable to make a move tonight, it would be best for us to retreat too.¡± Extinction Taoist followed behind and tried to dispel the thought of Li Guang Han to continue pursuing. The circumstance of the mountain was bad, Ye Chuan had clearly prepared ambushes. At this time, with the main force retreating and leading only a group of bodyguards to penetrate deep into enemy territory, wasn¡¯t this clearly asking for Ye Chuan to ambush them? ¡°Extinction Taoist, no need to speak again, I have already decided. Tonight, I must kill that brat Ye Chuan!¡± Li Guang Han insisted on having his own way and let alone heeding to his advice, on the contrary, he sped up. Now, less than 100 people were walking towards the summit in large strides. Extinction Taoist sighed and advisor Tang Yixian just happened to come up, and at the moment when advisor Tang Yixian brushed past him, Extinction Taoist coldly glared at the latter and coldly said, ¡°Tang Yixian, everything is because of this lousy idea of yours, you villain. If something happened to His Highness, then even without the order of His Highness, this lordship will personally tear you apart and exterminate your entire family!¡± Extinction Taoist truly had killing intention. His eyes glaring at advisor Tang Yixian were so cold that they appeared as if cold daggers. All said that a villain should be handled toughly otherwise they would act willfully and wildly. But in fact, a villain is poisonous, is a kind of hypertoxic! With a villain around, it was equivalent to having a chronic disease by poison. A slight negligence and one would be poisoned by a villain at an unknown time. Accumulating over a long period of time, that poison would suddenly erupt and a villain would become the cause of death! ¡°Senior Taoist, I¡­¡­, I was¡­¡­ I was just casually speaking a little. This is the matter His Highness had decided himself, who can change his decision?¡± Advisor Tang Yixian knew that he was in the wrong and he didn¡¯t dare to argue with Extinction Taoist or even dare to look face to face. After speaking, he hurried forward and closely followed Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Behind, looking at the back view of advisor Tang Yixian, the complexion of Extinction Taoist became colder and colder. Tang Yixian like person who only knew how to play schemes but couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow in the battlefield, Extinction Taoist had always looked down to such people. This kind of villain would do anything for the limelight regardless of any dangers. He didn¡¯t even care about putting Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han in danger. Even in death, he wouldn¡¯t know how he died. Looking at the back of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, Extinction Taoist sighed once again and just when he was about to follow with no other choice, his heart suddenly jumped and he stopped his steps. Moreover, he accidentally discovered that there were many vines all around them on all sides. They were dense and dark and their tips were fluttering with the cold wind. But, there is something wired about these vines! Extinction Taoist pondered for a little while, and he clearly recalled that there were no vines around them just a moment ago. Where did so many vines appear from all of a sudden? Rustling sounds came from the darkness. When Extinction Taoist was wondering, he suddenly felt peculiar under his feet, and looking down, he saw green buds under the feet of everybody, then they instantly changed into strange vines which grew bigger and bigger. After the army under Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han retreated, Old Demon of Mount Yin quickly rushed back and began to deal with Li Guang Han¡¯s group who had penetrated deep into enemy territory. ¡°Protect His Highness, withdraw!¡± Extinction Taoist suddenly jumped and rushed towards Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. On the ground, the vines continued to overgrow and swayed like snakes. Instantly, the group of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was separated and screaming sounds resounded. Without warning, countless vines blotted out the sky and bound their limbs, strangled their throat and pierced through their chest. ¡°Protect His Highness!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± The entire group of people screamed and they did their best to cut off these vines. Every one of them used their techniques to rush towards Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han to assemble. Not to mention these vines were strange, they were especially ferocious too. If a group of ordinary soldiers was in their place, then they might have already been wiped out. Fortunately, all were experts, and many of them were the experts of imperial palace Li Guang Han had invited. Each one of them was outstanding. Just like cutting vegetables, they chopped off vines and rushed out. Over hundreds of vines simultaneously rushed towards Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, but before he could make a move, Extinction Taoist jumped over and used the horsetail whisk in his hand to cut off all the vines approaching them. The group reacted quickly with power. But, there were still several people that unfortunately died on the spot and become dried corpses in front of them. Several powerful experts had died, but adviser Tang Yixian who didn¡¯t have high cultivation base was completely fine. Since he stood beside Li Guang Han, the soldiers saved him too. But, he looked deathly pale, his heart was jumping violently and he was so frightened that he didn¡¯t dare to take a step away from Li Guang Han. ¡°Dark Crow, Bai Zhu, you two, come with me, as for others, protect His Highness, go!¡± Extinction Taoist ordered in a stern voice making a prompt decision to rush towards the summit. Behind, two experts of imperial palace kept up with him with surging killing intent. All of them were later stage Daoist Master realm experts. Originally, Extinction Taoist strongly opposed the suggestion of chasing Ye Chuan overnight, but now, he took the initiative to rush ahead. To catch brigands, first catch their king, first kill wounded Ye Chuan at the summit and everything else would be easier afterward. Countless vines sprang out from the dark and dense forest and rushed forward to stop Extinction and other two. Extinction Taoist brandished his horsetail whisk and rushed in the front like splitting a bamboo. Those countless vines weren¡¯t able to stop him. But when he was about to reach the summit, the space between his eyebrows suddenly jumped violently, and subconsciously placed his horsetail whisk horizontally in front of him. Ding, a blood-red flying sword flew out from the midst of those dark and dense vines and he just happened to block it with his horsetail whisk and that solid horsetail whisk fell to the ground. Ye Chuan seized the perfect opportunity to make a move. He had thrown Dragon Slaying Flying Sword taking advantage of this chaos, unfortunately, Extinction Taoist still blocked this. ¡°Your Highness, welcome to Cloud Mist Mountain Range, I have a gift for you, take it, the good play is just beginning.¡± The voice of Ye Chuan resounded and the heaven and earth suddenly became quiet. Those vines that blotted out the sky and covered the earth suddenly disappeared completely. Under the protection of his guards, Li Guang Han plucked up his courage and climbed to the summit. Ye Chuan had already disappeared without a trace. There was only a piece of gift left behind on the smooth slabstone. Leaves and muds were used to make a lazy frog, its left half face was leaves and its right half face was black mud. Standing at the air vent, pigs can fly, only a lazy frog that indulges in fantasy is an exception! The words of Ye Chuan appeared in the mind of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. And the instant he looked at this gift on the slabstone, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was truly driven mad and he ferociously punched out, shattering that lazy frog along with the hard slabstone into pieces as he roared, ¡°Ye Chuan, you brat, don¡¯t run away if you have guts. I will fight 300 rounds with you! Come out, you brat, come out for me¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han punched repeatedly to vent off his anger on a piece of rock like an insane beast that lost its intellect. His voice reached far and wide but he didn¡¯t hear any reply from Ye Chuan. He only heard a vague sound of laughter coming from a distant place as if the legendary mountain demon was mocking him. Chapter 321: Big army training Chapter 321: Big army training After leaving the mountain, Ye Chuan led everyone back directly to Cloud Mist Sect, then summoned everybody to discuss the next response. Very soon, Zhu Sijia, fatty Zhao Dazhi and others rushed over, hearing this news, and now the big Cloud Mist Hall was crowded to bursting point with people. ¡°Your Excellency, there is nothing to discuss, we should directly kill. No matter how many of them came, kill all, let¡¯s annihilate those 200,000 soldiers, kakaka!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes laughed heartily, looking happy and healthy. In this operation of scouting Da Qin army at night, his gain was the largest. Ye Chuan was heavily injured and was almost trapped in the campsite without any chance to escape. But, in the war of the mountain, he hunted at least one thousand people. With such vigorous essence blood and vital yang, his cultivation made progress, reducing the distance to breakthrough to Half Sage realm more and more. Once he made the breakthrough, perhaps, he would become the first Half-Sage vine demon of Wilderness World and his innate skill would cover vaster area, moreover, even returning to ancient omnibus domain Five Fingered Buddhist Cave, he would no longer be a small demon. ¡°In the battle tonight, Da Qin Dynasty was not alert, nothing more. But, now that they are alert, how can it be so easy to deal with them?¡± Zhu Sijia shook her head and disagreed with the suggestion of Old Demon of Mount Yin. Then, she frowned and said with deep worry, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, the army of Da Qin Dynasty was able to dominate the cultivating sects of Central Plains, it is not that easy to deal with them. They had yet to show their power. But waiting for them to come, with the strength of our Cloud Mist Sect, it is not an easy matter to contend with their 200,000 soldiers.¡± ¡°It¡¯s reasonable, Second Elder, what do you think?¡± Ye Chuan asked looking towards Second Elder Nangong Ren sitting in a wheelchair. Since he lost his legs during the internal strife of the sect, he had handed over all the power to Ye Chuan. After that, Second Elder Nangong Ren paid no attention to worldly affairs, just took care of the medicinal plants he planted wholeheartedly. But this time, confronted with the important matter of Da Qin Dynasty¡¯s attack, he was invited. ¡°Ye Chuan, you decide these matters yourself. I have grown old. I heard something happened at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss and you went down to check. Did you find the remains of Nan Tiandu?¡± Nangong Ren asked. Compared to before, his voice was much older. His face was wan and sallow and he looked lonely. Since the time Nan Tiandu who was tantamount to his son committed suicide by jumping down Evil Dragon Abyss, he was downhearted. His only wish was to retrieve the remains of Nan Tiandu from the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss and give him a proper burial. Merely, blood mist filled everywhere and evil spirits run amuck at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss throughout the year, moreover, now he himself was having difficulty getting about, and it wasn¡¯t good to ask Ye Chuan to help him by taking this risk. ¡°This¡­¡­, I haven¡¯t found it yet. I will go to look again some other day. Perhaps, junior apprentice-brother Tiandu is not dead but still alive.¡± Ye Chuan hesitated and decided to not tell the true state of affairs at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss. The human body of Nan Tiandu had already ceased to exist, and now, his spirit was in the process of merging with the soul of the evil dragon Meng Ao. In the end, what would he transform to? Can he survive or not? No one had any way to tell. In this world, the greatest tragedy was to give a hope when the other party had abandoned himself to despair, then again tear that hope to shreds. No one could endure this kind of torment. In order to prevent doing so, Ye Chuan decided to not tell the true situation. He just vaguely gave a thought to Second Elder Nangong Ren. ¡°Still alive? How can that be?¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren shook his head and turned his wheelchair to leave, leaving behind some words, ¡°Ye Chuan, I have grown old. You have to make decisions by yourself whatever the situation you encountered. Furthermore, Evil Dragon Abyss is very dangerous. Don¡¯t go down before you are sufficiently strong. When you breakthrough to Half-Sage realm one day, you can easily go down Evil Dragon Abyss, at that time, help me retrieve the remains of Nan Tiandu. If I couldn¡¯t see that day, then tell me when you visit my grave.¡± Second Elder Nangong Ren who once used to laugh merrily or curse angrily and wasn¡¯t tolerant (Ren) like his name had completely changed into another person. When he turned around to leave Cloud Mist Hall, a drop of tear trickled down his turbid eyes. He didn¡¯t want anybody to see his current appearance. ¡°Farewell Second Elder.¡± The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect simultaneously bowed as their gaze followed Second Elder sitting on wheelchair slowly getting further away. In the internal strive caused by Third Elder Bai Yanhu, Ye Chuan did his utmost to stem a raging tide, so logically, he won the deep respect of everybody and was able to control the sect. In addition, three other people had also obtained the deep respect of the disciples. One was Nan Tiandu who had jumped down Evil Dragon Abyss to commit suicide, the second was Great Elder Zhu Guohong¡¯s beloved granddaughter Zhu Sijia and the last one was Second Elder Nangong Ren. In former days, the latter was carefree and only cared about his medicinal herbs. He didn¡¯t bother to ask or to listen to the matters of the sect. As a result, he was nicknamed Medicine Crazy. He didn¡¯t have any appearance of the sect elder. But at the critical moment, he stood up without hesitation, causing people to look at him with new eyes. ¡°Your Excellency, since Second Elder says to follow your instruction, we will listen to you. What should we do next?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes couldn¡¯t wait and said, ¡°How about Jiajia and others stay behind in the sect to take care of the matters and I lead a group of people to go carry out a sneak attack on the army of Da Qin Dynasty and burn down their campsite?¡± Zhu Sijia was deeply worried, but Old Demon of Mount Yin disapproved. He who desired to see the world plunged into chaos, he wanted Da Qin army to enter mountain and attack. For him, massacring was the best cultivation method. If Da Qin army didn¡¯t enter the mountain, then how can he hunt and kill wantonly? ¡°Good, Rhodes, you go by yourself and burn down the campsite of Da Qin Dynasty. Also, burn that Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han to coke for me. Unless he is burned to coke, you don¡¯t need to return. For you, 200,000 soldiers are nothing, even 1 million soldiers are not enough to kill for you.¡± Ye Chuan said and occupying the commanding position, he looked at somewhat arrogant and conceited Old Demon of Mount Yin. ¡°Your Excellency is joking.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin didn¡¯t dare to be arrogant as he smiled in embarrassment. ¡°It is not that we shouldn¡¯t burn down the campsite of Da Qin army, rather it is not the time. Now, Da Qin army has definitely enforced tight security. It is difficult to approach their campsite. Moreover, attacking this time wouldn¡¯t have big significance. Wait until they enter the mountain and reach halfway to our Cloud Mist Sect to attack again. At that time, we will let Li Guang Han feel true pain! Now, there is no harm to play with them and take the advantage of this occasion to train our troops. Our troops will be divided into two groups. Jiajia will lead the disciples of our sect and Rhodes will lead yao beasts. Take turns to go into battle, take advantage of this occasion to train troops!¡± Ye Chuan coldly smiled and issued a command. The arrival of Da Qin army was a dangerous challenge that brought a heavy pressure. But at the same time, it was also an opportunity. Only those troops who had experienced the baptism of flames of war and death were true elites. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect needed to experience this and Evil Eyed Cow Demons, pangolins, golden eagles and other yao beasts were also the same! Ye Chuan who once concealed the heaven knew how to deal with formidable enemies and he also knew how to train true elites. After giving that fellow Li Guang Han a pleasant surprise and clearly understanding the situation of Da Qin army, the next step was very long protracted war. Both sides were not only fighting with strength but also resourcefulness and willpower. Whoever was eager for instant success and quick profits, they would become the loser. Chapter 322: Stone fortress Chapter 322: Stone fortress When Ye Chuan and others were discussing the countermeasures in Cloud Mist Hall, Da Qin Crown prince Li Guang Han had also summoned all commanders in the camp to discuss. After eating a loss, Li Guang Han finally became a little wiser. Now, he understood that Ye Chuan was already no longer that Ye Chuan of former days and it was much harder to deal with him. This time, he learned his lesson and listened to the suggestion of Extinction Taoist to act cautiously. From Pingyuan ancient town, they began to carry forward step by step, wanting to make full use of big and powerful military strength to launch an all-out attack on Cloud Mist Sect. The huge war machines of Da Qin Dynasty quickly operated, displaying their ferocious features. Very soon, the vanguard began to take action. First, they burn down the forest in the neighborhood of Pingyuan ancient town without leaving behind a single tree seedling. All kinds of vines were also burned down leaving nothing behind. The original dense forest disappeared in a brief amount of time, and now, there was no place to hide around this ancient town. Looking from a high place, one could see everything within ten li. This completely cut off the possibility of a sneak attack. After the big fire was stamped out, Da Qin army began to build the first stronghold on the top of a mountain. Farmers, farm cattle and carriages within the radius of 100 li were called up to transport large pieces of stones and a strong fortress was built rapidly. Thousands of elite soldiers laid out a restriction to guard. If someone wanted to make a surprise attack on the campsite, then they must first pass through this fortress. And to do this, with the current strength of Cloud Mist Sect, it would take at least four hours which was more than enough time for the main army at the foot of the mountain to respond. With the first stronghold, next, there will be second, third¡­¡­ According to the order of Li Guang Han, the main army slowly pushed forward. Taking every step forward, they would first burn down the dense forest of the surrounding, carrying out the scorched earth strategy. After burning down everything within ten li, the logistic army would flood up and build a stone fortress there. Naturally, they couldn¡¯t find stones there, so using materials on hand, they used clay to build thick earthen walls and again use huge logs to build a fence around outside, guarding heavily. For seven days in succession, Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t make any move. Perhaps, they had misgivings towards the powerful military strength of Da Qin army or perhaps, they used this kind of strategy to push forward step by step, so Cloud Mist Sect was at its wits¡¯ end, allowing Da Qin army to build strongholds so smoothly. In the campsite, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han enclosed himself in his bedroom day and night, drinking alone in depression while personally examining the success reports of soldiers carefully and critically. Without the attack and obstruction of Cloud Mist Sect, the speed of advancing of the army was much faster than expected. Every day, they would advance at least several tens of li. But for Li Guang Han, this speed was still too slow. If this continuous, then it would take at least one month to reach the entrance gate of Cloud Mist Sect. One whole month, wasn¡¯t that enough for that brat Ye Chuan to make many preparations? Just in case, if that brat fled with his junior apprentice sisters and junior apprentice brothers forsaking Cloud Mist Sect seeing this situation was anything but reassuring, then where should he go to look for him? What about his revenge? Recalling how Ye Chuan had made him eat loss time and time again, Li Guang Han was very depressed. He couldn¡¯t wait to kill him in person. At this moment, he was not afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to destroy Cloud Mist Sect rather feared that Ye Chuan might flee without fighting. If an average person was in his place, then he would definitely defend the sect to the death. They wouldn¡¯t forsake the ancient sect that had the inheritance of millions of years. But, as for that brat Ye Chuan, Li Guang Han didn¡¯t know what he would do. He feared this point. On the eighth day, when the night fell, a news of victory was sent back. The fifth stronghold was smoothly built and a thousand elite soldiers were stationed there. Looking on the map, the five strongholds were connected with a line and its arrowhead penetrates Cloud Mist Mountain Range. In particular, this just built fifth stronghold was built on the peak of a mountain commonly known as the Stone Mountain among the local people. The mountain was densely covered with stones and the three sides were cliffs. No need to say that it was easy to guard and hard to attack, the front was also a wide expanse of flat land. When the weather was fine, one could see another big mountain dozens of li away. This stronghold provided a strong safeguard to build the next stronghold, accelerating the speed of advancement. After this news came, the main forces cheered loudly. Li Guang Han was also so happy that he drank until he was dead drunk. But, at this time, in Stone Mountain, the soldiers stationed in the fifth stronghold welcomed a sudden and unexpected bloody battle. Like the soldiers at Pingyuan ancient town, the soldiers stationed in this fifth stronghold were also extremely excited. In order to celebrate the successful completion of the task, someone quietly carried out a pure alcohol. No one knew how those alcohols appeared there. Perhaps, it was secretly collected by a certain high-ranking military officer, or perhaps, left behind by the conscripted laborers that built this stronghold. Under excitement, soldiers drank it. In the beginning, the commander responsible to guard this stronghold still exercise restraint and strictly prevented anyone from drinking more than three cups. But, after drinking began, no-one remembered this rule including the commander himself, as a result, soldiers drank so much that they reeked of alcohol. Under the curtain of night, the Stone Mountain was very quiet. Only not well-known insects were twittering once in a while. In the last few days, Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t have any movement and the soldiers had easily completed the missions, this made soldiers loosen their guard. Especially after drinking, everybody was unguarded. They believed that, the strong stone fortress along with powerful restriction was enough to make the people of Cloud Mist Sect retreat. Even if they tried to forcibly launch a surprise attack, they would be unable to break in, so everybody was at ease and went on a drinking spree. Danger arrived just when the soldiers were at their most unguarded state. The very first person who noticed the strangeness was a guard who had went to urinate. Just when he undid his pants to urinate, he suddenly discovered the stones around were strange. At an unknown time, green things had appeared above them, seemingly a green oilcloth was spread above them. Looking carefully after rubbing his eyes, he discovered that they were not green oilcloth, they were vines. Not good, it¡¯s enemy attack! This guard quickly reacted. After the first battle, the soldiers talked about the vines and the leaders also had repeatedly emphasized that once even the shadow of a vine was discovered, regardless of anything, immediately sound the alarm. The alert guard didn¡¯t even pull up his pants. He immediately raised a bugle, wanting to sound the alarm. Suddenly, something flashed before his eyes, it appeared as if a fly flew past him, but he felt cold on his neck and touching his neck with his hand, he discovered that his hand was covered in blood. Then, he fell to the ground with a crash and died. Just before dying, he discovered that it was not a fly but a rare Golden Cicada resting on his right arm. With his little bird still exposed, he stopped breathing. After killing a person with one hit, Six-Winged Golden Cicada left looking for the next target. Meanwhile, the rustling sound slowly resounded. And more and more vines climbed up this mountain densely covered with stones, surrounding the fortress on its summit. Halfway up the mountain, other than countless vines, there was a large group of fully equipped Cloud Mist Sect disciples. They wore standard white war robes with a sharp sword in their hand and a flying sword under their feet. Under the leadership of Zhu Sijia, they were waiting for the last moment to arrive. At the foot of the mountain, Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground. Circulating seven Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he suddenly opened his mouth and vomited a flying sword. The sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword changed into a smear of red light and flew into the skies and after flying to the summit, it broke the restriction of the fortress. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes who had been waiting for a long time laughed heartily and countless vines flooded into the fortress like sea waves. Behind these countless vines, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were whistling towards the fortress stepping on the flying sword. Chapter 323: Second gift Chapter 323: Second gift Inside and outside the summit fortress, there was a Tyrant King Restriction. This was a restriction with a long heritage. It was also the standard restriction of Da Qin Dynasty. Its might was ferocious and powerful, but it requires a large number of crystal stones. That was not something normal families or small sects could afford. Moreover, although this kind of restriction was common, it was very difficult to crack, forestalling the surprise attack of enemies. So, although it consumed a lot of crystal stones, it was still valued highly by Da Qin Dynasty. If an average person was attacking, then it would take at least an hour or more to crack this Tyrant King Restriction around the fortress. Even if Old Demon of Mount Yin, this pinnacle Daoist Master realm expert, was the one who attacked, it would still be the same. Ye Chuan however was different. As a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage who concealed the heaven, he was very familiar with this restriction with a long heritage. It would take a lot of time to analyze and crack this restriction, but there was another shortcut nobody knew that had been lost in history. That was to violently attack at one point of this restriction with a powerful force. The greater the force and the smaller the point, the better the result. And it just happened to be something Ye Chuan was not lacking. After condensing seven Heaven Swallowing Talismans, his strength had reached astonishing 126,000 jin and the tip of Dragon Slaying Flying Sword was incomparably sharp. The Tyrant King Restriction which was considered to be extremely reliable by soldiers was forcibly shattered by Ye Chuan, and then countless vines and large number of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples rushed in. The soldiers who were already drunk simply weren¡¯t their match, moreover, they were not prepared for this. Even when they were being killed, they still had yet to respond. ¡°Kakaka, drink, drink to your heart¡¯s content, this will be your last supper, kakaka¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes laughed heartily. Under his control, countless vines came pouring in from all directions into the fortress and blotted out the sky. They hunted and killed soldiers fleeing in confusion in all direction and sucked their essence blood and vital yang. Seeing their familiar brothers instantly turning into a dried corpse, the remaining soldiers became even more fearful. Their mind became a blank space and they didn¡¯t even have the thought to organize themselves and resist. Compared to countless vines of Old Demon of Mount Yin, Zhu Sijia and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect under her were not so terrible. Although they showed no quarter when attacking, they at least didn¡¯t cause people to have their heart in jitters like the end of the world. To a certain extent, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect resembled assassins. Brandishing their sword, they accurately stabbed the vital parts of soldiers. This battle came suddenly and also ended very quickly. In the end, a total of 300 or so soldiers were captured alive. This was also because Ye Chuan personally came and prevent the total annihilation, otherwise, Old Demon of Mount Yin would have wiped them out. ¡°Noble son, spare our lives!¡± ¡°Your Excellency, spare our lives, we have both aged parents and young children to support and take care of, Your Excellency, spare our lives¡­¡­¡± The soldiers knelt in front of Ye Chuan and begged for mercy in unison while trembling. Before they entered the mountain, everybody said that Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect was a great devil. He would kill people without batting an eyelid. Now, in their eyes, Ye Chuan who had pulled them back from the brink of death was a great philanthropist. ¡°You all said that you want to flatten my Cloud Mist Sect again and again, moreover, gathering 200,000 soldiers, you all bear down menacingly. So, letting you all off without killing, it doesn¡¯t matter to me as a person, but as a Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, if I return to the sect like that, then I will not be able to justify myself, how about we¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. He appeared as if he was making a difficult choice as he looked at those captives. It seemed that it was necessary to kill all the captives to justify himself. ¡°Your Excellency, spare our lives, Your Excellency, spare our lives¡­¡­¡± The soldiers shouted louder and wherever the gaze of Ye Chuan went, the soldiers would turn pale and become nervous. It was fine if they were beheaded, but if they fell into the hands of Old Demon of Mount Yin, then they would definitely have the most terrible fate, becoming a dried corpse in the blink of an eye. ¡°Well, as a cultivator, I also don¡¯t want my hands tainted by too much blood. This time, I can let you all off with your life, merely, you all have to agree with my two conditions.¡± Ye Chuan paused and looked at numerous captives, then slowly said, ¡°First, help me spread this, after returning to Pingyuan ancient town, tell your brothers, my Cloud Mist Sect stand aloof from worldly strife, we have no intention to oppose your Da Qin Dynasty and even more unlikely to threaten the peaceful lives of your Da Qin Dynasty¡¯s common people. Everything is caused by this so-called Iron Blooded General Li Guang Han. This Da Qin Crown Prince has a personal grudge against me, so he intentionally instigated this warfare. Second, help me bring my gift to Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and say that it is the gift from me, Ye Chuan. What about this, will you all do it?¡± ¡°Yes, no problem!¡± ¡°Many thanks, noble son. After returning to the camp, we will definitely tell the facts to our brothers. We, men of character, will protect our homes and defend our country, but we will never become the puppet of bigwigs!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. The soldiers agreed in unison and were overjoyed. Originally, they thought that Ye Chuan would put forward harsh conditions, but to their surprise, they were just passing his words and delivering his gift. They were too simple! ¡°Good, good, your Iron Blooded General will definitely like this gift.¡± Ye Chuan smiled evilly and calling over Old Demon of Mount Yin, he whispered instructions in his ears. The latter laughed heartily and quickly called a group of Cloud Mist Sect disciple to work. First, he used tough and tensile vines to bound all captives, then like hanging the wash out to dry, they were hung on the roof beam, then pulling down their pants, on their left butt, he wrote ¡®Zixia, I love you¡¯, and on the right butt, he drew a lazy frog prostrating on the ground. In Pingyuan ancient town, Ye Chuan had delivered Li Guang Han who had come from far away the first gift, making him eat a loss; now, he was sending the second gift. This battle ended very quickly, but there were still some soldiers who were able to ignite the beacon fire. It would not take long for the reinforcements of Da Qin Dynasty to arrive. And Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who was already impatient was very likely to come in person. It was hard to imagine what kind of expression he would make after seeing his gift. Will he fly into a rage, feel too ashamed to show his face or go out of control on the spot? Taking a quick glance at the shining white buttocks of soldiers, Ye Chuan smirked. There was no major significance whether he killed these several hundred soldiers or not. Often stimulating Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and provoking his patience was the focal point. With the nature of this fellow, it was impossible to not go out of control! Once he lost his reason and patience, there would be a greater chance. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you are too evil!¡± Zhu Sijia took a glance at the buttocks of numerous captive soldiers. She was embarrassed and also found this somewhat funny. She endured her impulse to laugh as she rolled her eyes. Only Ye Chuan could think up of such a sarcastic gift. ¡°Junior apprentice sister Jiajia, let¡¯s look for a place with no-one, then we can discuss where this senior apprentice brother is bad.¡± Ye Chuan smiled looking at Zhu Sijia and energetic Zhu Sijia who led numerous disciples became shy. ¡°Pei, who will go with you?¡± Zhu Sijia pretended to be angry as she glared at Ye Chuan, then, turning around, she left along with numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. she was embarrassed to see that row of shining white buttocks inside the fortress. Behind, Ye Chuan smiled and left riding the back of Little Long¡¯er. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was the last one to leave. But, before he left, he laughed scaring those captives again. Chapter 324: Must endure Chapter 324: Must endure No longer after the party of Ye Chuan left, the reinforcement of Da Qin Dynasty arrived. Looking at this unrecognizable fortress, every one of the reinforcement was frightened. But, entering the fortress, they saw a row of shining white buttocks, this scene stunned everyone. Some people wanted to step forward and release them, but they were blocked by an invisible restriction. Ordinary soldiers basically weren¡¯t able to break it, so they had to urgently ask the supreme headquarter for help. For an expert, the distance of a hundred li was nothing. The experts from supreme headquarter quickly arrived. This time, the guess of Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t wrong. Hearing the news, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han rushed over in person. He saw that row of shining white buttocks hung down from the roof beam which swayed along with the wind, and his heart was in chaos, then became furious. The left butt had ¡®Zixia, I love you¡¯ written on it while the right butt had the drawing of a lazy frog. The left and right side of this frog¡¯s face was different. The left side had rich expression and the right side was ice-cold resembling a piece of pig iron. Wasn¡¯t this clearly provoking him? ¡°Your Highness, quell your anger, this is the evil plot of that brat Ye Chuan, you must not lose your temper like he wants!¡± Extinction Taoist hastily stepped forward and persuaded. He was worried that Li Huang Han who had calmed down with great difficulty and began a protracted war would recklessly make a major attack again. Ah! Li Guang Han roared like a berserk yao beast, then ferociously punched, forcibly breaking the invisible restriction. The air rippled and twisted, bringing along a chaotic air current. The invisible restriction that stopped ordinary soldiers was gone, moreover, those over 300 soldiers hung down from the roof beam simultaneously vomited a big mouthful of blood. Their internal organs were ruptured and before the eyes of everyone present, they died with their eyes wide open. The reinforcement had arrived so these over 300 soldiers had finally relaxed. But, beyond their expectation, they weren¡¯t able to escape the catastrophe in the end. Moreover, they didn¡¯t die in the hands of the enemy Cloud Mist Sect, rather died in the hands of their own. The soldiers who had urgently come to reinforce became pale, and looking at berserk Li Guang Han who killed people without batting an eyelid, every one trembled, worrying they would become the next innocent victim. The complexion of Extinction Taoist was also ugly and felt bitter in his heart. He had already urged him time and again with good intentions for many times and had thought many means to make Li Guang Han calm down, but in the end, everything was useless. Your Majesty, this small official isn¡¯t incompetent, rather His Highness is¡­¡­ Extinction Taoist sighed as a word appeared in his mind he couldn¡¯t speak out. If a person is too impulsive, moreover, wantonly become like this, then how can he accomplish great matters? Extinction Taoist didn¡¯t say anything on the surface. In his heart, he however was very disappointed with Li Guang Han, this Da Qin Crown Prince. His face was cut into two halves becoming neither human nor ghost. But this didn¡¯t matter, in any case, man didn¡¯t need to rely on face to make a living. As long as, he ascended the throne in the future and become the next Da Qin King, he didn¡¯t need to worry about not having many women. But, if the heart wasn¡¯t good and was not calm, shrewd and ruthless enough to handle affairs, then it would be absolutely impossible to become an outstanding emperor. Even if he became Da Qin King in the future with great difficulty, he might not be able to sit stably in that position. Even after killing over 300 soldiers who had lost their face with one punch, Da Qin Crown Prince still had yet to vent off his pent-up anger. He looked sinister and ruthless and his chest was violently rising and falling as he panted heavily. His pair of red eyes seemed to want to swallow people. The heart of surrounding soldiers beat rapidly and they subconsciously retreated in succession. No one dared to raise their head and look at Li Guang Han, this abnormal general. ¡°Extinction Taoist, when can I kill that brat Ye Chuan?¡± Li Guang Han suddenly asked. When everyone thought that he was driven mad and he would once again reckless charge towards Cloud Mist Sect to kill, he forcibly forced down the fury of his heart. Extinction Taoist was rather surprised and his eyes shone as he said, ¡°We continue to advance step by step and handle the matter according to the plan. If Cloud Mist Sect ceased to exist, even if that brat Ye Chuan runs away, he would just become a stray cur. He can only escape for the time being!¡± ¡°Well, continue to advance step by step, flatten Cloud Mist Sect for me!¡± Li Guang Han¡¯s voice was hoarse. He left leaving behind those words, returning to the supreme headquarter of Pingyuan ancient town. He hated Ye Chuan to the bones, if he could, he wanted to immediately kill to Cloud Mist Sect and personally tear Ye Chuan to shreds. But, at the last moment, he calmed down with great difficulty, not because he gave up killing Ye Chuan rather he knew that anger would not solve the problem. Endure! Must endure, continue to endure! Li Guang Han was gloomy. He left by himself and his speed became faster and faster. Middle-aged Tang Yixian reacted the fastest, he summoned a group of his personal bodyguard and eagerly followed up. ¡°Your Highness is brilliant!¡± ¡°Farewell Your Highness!¡± Behind, Extinction Taoist bowed and the soldiers quickly fell to their knees, not because they greatly respected Li Guang Han, rather because their legs went soft and trembled nonstop. Even before Li Guang Han, this Da Qin Crown Prince, had left, a lot of people were already standing unstably. For soldiers, the most terrifying thing wasn¡¯t Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s great devil Ye Chuan, rather Li Guang Han, this Da Qin Crown Prince. A slight carelessness and they would die without knowing how they died. ¡°Guards, clean up the battlefield, increase the number of soldiers stationed at each fortress to 3000 from 1000 and dispatch a later stage Daoist Master realm expert to guard each fortress.¡± Extinction Taoist gave orders and looking at distant mountains, his killing intent soared. Suffering a setback was nothing, as long as Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han didn¡¯t intervene recklessly and gave him the command of army, then he could definitely destroy Cloud Mist Sect and kill Ye Chuan. After increasing the military strength and dispatching an expert to guard each fortress, even if Cloud Mist Sect wanted to carry out a sneak attack on the strongholds of Da Qin Dynasty, it would not be so easy! Facts proved that Extinction was truly right. Next, two sides came into frequent contact. In the beginning, the attacks of Cloud Mist Sect made Da Qin army terror-stricken, but slowly, casualties began to appear on Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s side and even suffered a crushing defeat. Their sneak attack was useless and they fell into traps in turn, suffering an insane counterattack. Sometimes, a stronghold had more than 5000 soldiers to ambush, or even over 10,000 soldiers, moreover, many experts too. Carelessly carrying out a surprise attack, it would turn into a violent encounter. The morale of Da Qin army was greatly enhanced. Li Guang Han also saw the hope and excitedly waited for the last moment. In turn, Cloud Mist Sect suffered setbacks time and again and the wounded soldiers filled the sect. Along with the increasing numbers of strongholds of Da Qin Dynasty, they got closer and closer to Cloud Mist Sect. The situation was grim and this made Zhu Sijia and others frown in worry. Even Old Demon of Mount Yin who had always been arrogant and aggressive was at his wits¡¯ end. At this moment, Ye Chuan however had entered seclusion cultivation, so he neither saw nor heard about the matter outside. This made Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others think hard about countermeasures. After giving a gift to Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, Ye Chuan returned to Cloud Mist Sect and entered the seclusion cultivation. He had already expected this predicament of the sect, but he intentionally entered the seclusion cultivation so as to force Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others to think of a way by themselves. Under a powerful pressure, the potential of people could erupt. Like this, they could truly achieve the aim of that big training. Those who had been killed or injured were weak ones that couldn¡¯t adapt. Those disciples and yao beasts with tenacious will who survived and have the ability to adapt were the ones Ye Chuan needed. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t need the weak. What he needed were the real elites who can follow him to campaign and dominate all across the entire Wilderness World! The pressure weighted down like a mountain and the situation was getting worse, but everything was within the expectation and grasp of Ye Chuan! Chapter 325: Come out of seclusion Chapter 325: Come out of seclusion After the seclusion of half of a month. Ye Chuan walked out of Heavenly Dragon Hall. The seclusion of this time wasn¡¯t to cultivate his cultivation base rather his mental state. Calming down his heart, he paid no attention to outside matters, letting Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin handle all matters. This was also a kind of cultivation. As a superior, not only he must firmly grasp the authority, he also needed to understand the concept of delegation of power. Otherwise, he would only have a group of puppet-like rigid and inflexible subordinates. Naturally, in the process of delegation, one must pay a certain price, i.e. there would be a certain impact in the short term but it was worthwhile in the long run. At this moment, Heavenly Dragon Peak was desolated. Flame Devil, Na Gusi and others had gone out, fighting alongside Zhu Sijia and others. Even the few guards of Heavenly Dragon Peak had also gone to battle. After walking around, Ye Chuan only saw one person in the vicinity of Evil Dragon Abyss, Sea Demoness Hai Lili. Everyone else had gone out but she was still taking care of the Heavenly Dragon Tree and Mist Bamboo. He hadn¡¯t seen for a period of time but the branches and leaves of Heavenly Dragon Tree had gotten denser and many fresh green soft shoot had sprouted. Perhaps, Heavenly Dragon Rice could be harvested next year. As for Mist Bamboo seedling, it had also grown quite taller. Its branches and leaves condensed a thin layer of mist. Inhaling it, one could smell a lingering fragrance. ¡°Noble son Ye!¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili who was watering the plants turned back hearing the light footsteps. And seeing Ye Chuan, she hastily greeted. Perhaps because Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed was finally growing and there was a hope to harvest Heavenly Dragon Rice that was vital for her clan, or perhaps because she innately liked doing this kind of work, she appeared refreshed and pleased, looking all the more bright and beautiful. ¡°Hai Lili, how come you didn¡¯t go out with Jiajia and others to temper yourself?¡± Ye Chuan asked. The cultivation of this Sea Demoness was not that high, only was Rank 2 Daoist Master realm, but her innate skill was extraordinary. It had the potential to instantly petrify the spirit of people. On the battlefield, this was definitely a big killing move. ¡°Big sister Jiajia left me here. She said that since all the experts of the sect have gone out, she wanted me to stay and guard the sect.¡± Hai Lili paused and added, ¡°In addition, I also don¡¯t like to fight and kill. It would be better for me to take care of Heavenly Dragon Tree and Mist Bamboo seedling.¡± ¡°Fair enough.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. The innate skill of this Sea Demoness was a big killing move, but it can¡¯t be used in quick succession, moreover, one would suffer from a backlash if used excessively. Besides, the situation had yet to reach the final critical moment, so it was better to keep a trump card until the end because using it in advance, Da Qin army would definitely be prepared for it. After a pause, Ye Chuan continued, ¡°Oh, by the way, about the matter I said last time, do you have any news?¡± ¡°No, there is no news of Tuoba Xiaoniao father and daughter for the time being. But, I have already informed to my clansmen and they are already searching high and low in secret. Also¡­¡­¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili looked up at Ye Chuan and said, ¡°After hearing the news of Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed has taken root and grew up to Heavenly Dragon Tree, my grandfather and others said that they must come over and see. Perhaps¡­¡­, perhaps they will hurry over to Cloud Mist Mountain Range before long, noble son Ye, you see¡­¡­¡± ¡°Fine, let them cover over, and at that time, look for Jiajia for the arrangement.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and thinking the arrival of Sea Demon clansmen was a good thing, he turned around and left. Behind, the mouth of Hai Lili moved seemingly wanted to say something, but seeing Ye Chuan had already walked far away, she was forced to give up. After leaving Heavenly Dragon Peak, Ye Chuan walked out of the sect alone and followed the energy fluctuation of Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others. Although the ferocious counterattack of Da Qin Dynasty and the grim situation were already within his expectation, since half a month had already passed, it was time to understand the specific state of situation and see if there was any change or not. On the mountainous terrain, Ye Chuan walked as if on wings as he ran wildly in the wilderness. After refining Dragon Slaying Flying Sword given to him by cyan robed man Meng Qi, he could also fly stepping on the sword. But, he preferred to run. He liked the feeling of having his feet planted on solid ground and freely run wildly in the wilderness to his heart content. This was the habit from his previous life. To be able to solve any battle with only fists without using treasures, restrictions and other means, this was the aim Ye Chuan always pursued. Whatever the case or time, one¡¯s body was the most important and also most reliable. Treasures might get lost or damaged, restrictions might lose efficacy, but one¡¯s doughty body was different, it was best to rely on one¡¯s doughty body. This kind of thoughts was a basic general knowledge millions of years ago when Sages emerged in an endless stream and compete against each other. The overwhelming majority of cultivators knew this. Unfortunately, nowadays, this kind of thoughts had already disappeared long ago. The greater part of cultivators dreamed about obtaining a powerful treasure or profound technique to quickly raise their strength, or even wanted to reach the sky in a single bound, but, they didn¡¯t strive to strengthen and temper their own body. Before cultivating, one needed to refine the mind first to understand basic general knowledge. Unfortunately, current cultivators had already forgotten, therefore, cultivating sects gradually declined, the Half-Sage realm experts appeared so rarely, and they even were suppressed by the emperor of the secular world. If this was millions of years ago, it was impossible for this to occur even in the imagination. No matter how powerful the emperors of the secular world were, they were nothing but ants in the eyes of cultivators in those times. The speed of Ye Chuan was very fast. He arrived at a mountain valley at noon. In the valley, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had just retreated from the frontline and gathered there to rest. Some were leaning on the cliff while panting in exhaustion; some were wiping the bloodstain on their sharp sword with a piece of cloth torn from their own clothing; Some were lying on the ground dripping with blood, waiting for the rescue; and many female disciples were hastily moving back and forth to bandage the wounded. ¡°Brothers, I am not bragging, but just a moment ago in that war, if it was not for Jiajia stopping me, I would have rushed up with a sword and killed the commander of the other party.¡± The big voice of Fatty Zhao Dazhi came from inside a grotto. He seemed to be enormously proud of his success. Ye Chuan walked over without batting an eyelid and saw fatty was bragging in the grotto with his saliva flying everywhere. A large group of people was sitting around him. He continued, ¡°It¡¯s been so long, today, this battle was the most enjoyable. First, ambush those dogs, then charge and annihilate their 3000 elites, truly was so satisfactory. If Jiajia hadn¡¯t stopped me, then I would have brought back the head of that leader, then it would have been even better.¡± ¡°Senior apprentice brother fatty, is that true?¡± ¡°Yes, senior apprentice brother fatty, you are not deceiving us, are you?¡± The surrounding disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had doubts. Fatty Zhao Dazhi was well-known for being timid. Just charging was already far-fetched, but nearly killing the leader of the stone fortress, when did he ever show such braveness? ¡°Take a look at what this is, it is the military plate of Da Qin Dynasty. I snatched it from the body of that leader.¡± Fatty proudly raised an order plate and the sounds of amazement resounded, attracting the surprised gaze of people. This fellow was covered with blood. He seemed to be injured seriously, but his face was full of excitement as he was addicted to boasting around the outer sect disciples. Outside the grotto, looking at the proud appearance of fatty, Ye Chuan shook his head and smiled. Fatty was fatty, he never changed his habit of bragging. Just bumping into an order plate, he was bragging so much that he appeared as if he would have killed the commander of the other party if no one had stopped him. If he had truly killed the leader of the other party by fluke, then wouldn¡¯t he brag to the heaven, saying he nearly killed Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who was safeguarded by massive forces? Ye Chuan was unable to find a way out to straighten fatty, but he also relaxed as he knew that Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin had won again. There was still more than 800 li distance from here to Cloud Mist Sect, it was sufficient to give Da Qin Dynasty a headache. While he was deliberating whether to go in and teach fatty a lesion or not. He suddenly heard light footsteps coming from behind. But, it appeared as if the owner of this footsteps was afraid to alert other people, moreover, this footsteps was completely different from average people¡¯s footsteps. Ye Chuan suddenly turned around and happened to saw a person walking towards him. This person was wearing a white standard robe, also seemed to be a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, but wore a big bamboo hat on the head, covering facial features. At first glance, Ye Chuan felt strange. He felt that something was wrong, moreover, he vaguely felt a familiar feeling. Spy of Da Qin Dynasty or the first-rate assassin invited by Li Guang Han? The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk as he circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. Chapter 326: Flying Crossbows Chapter 326: Flying Crossbows ¡°Idiot, still not recognize me?¡± The uninvited guest approached closer, but those words made Ye Chuan relax. ¡°Zixia, is that you?¡± Ye Chuan was wild with joy. He had never expected to encounter Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia here. He took a step forward and hugged her. Sure enough, he could smell a familiar fragrance. And taking off the big bamboo hat on the head of the other party, the beautiful face of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia appeared. Last time, Heavenly Maiden took advantage of darkness to sneak into Cloud Mist Sect to meet him; this time, since the security of Cloud Mist Sect was strict, she was unable to sneak in, so she actually disguised herself as a female disciple of Cloud Mist Sect and sneaked in and coincidentally met Ye Chuan who had just come out of seclusion. Even though Ye Chuan hugged her so tightly that she was nearly unable to breathe, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t struggle, in turn, she also tightly hugged Ye Chuan. Under the loose and comfortable standard robe, her body was burning hot and she was unable to control herself after seeing Ye Chuan. Demonic Dragon Sutra was a pair cultivation technique, was the best pair cultivation technique of the world beyond the highest heaven. Without experiencing the through combination of their body, just the intermingling of their spirits made Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia continuously desire for more. In front of the world, she was pure, noble, aloof, refined and cold, but in front of Ye Chuan, she was just a fully ripe woman. Ye Chuan kissed the lips of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia while holding the latter¡¯s beautiful face with his hands, then said with a bad smile, ¡°What, Zixia, can¡¯t endure so quickly, miss me?¡± ¡°Pei, who can¡¯t endure?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s beautiful face became bright red feeling bashful, but she pretended to be angry. And just when she was about to say something, she suddenly sensed something and she pushed Ye Chuan away, then putting on her big bamboo hat, she respectfully said, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, this is Jinchuang Pills just refined by the sect. Can you examine its effect? Senior apprentice sister Jiajia said, if¡­¡­¡± A group of patrolling disciples walked past from not far away. Seeing the figure of Ye Chuan, they bowed in succession and then left without realizing anything different. At first glance, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was wearing a big bamboo hat didn¡¯t look any different from ordinary female disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, moreover, no one would ever think that a dignified Heavenly Maiden of Heavenly Yao Sect would actually disguise herself to sneak in and meet with Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan. ¡°Yes, they are good Jinchuang Pills. I just happened to be injured, come with me to take a look at their effect.¡± Ye Chuan replied in a pretentious manner and turned towards the depth of the mountain valley. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia followed neither quickly nor slowly. And when they reached the place with no one, Ye Chuan immediately pulled Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia into his bosom and entered a remote and dark cave. ¡°Idiot, can your bull-like body also be injured?¡± ¡°It hurts here, really, I accidentally injured here when I was cultivating.¡± ¡°Where? Let me take a look, is it your chest?¡± ¡°A bit down.¡± ¡°Lower abdomen? What kind of cultivation technique do you cultivate, how can you injure there?¡± ¡°Again a bit lower, Zixia, if you don¡¯t help me cure it, I feel the wound there will blow open.¡± ¡°Pei, eh¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ In the dark cave, the temperature was getting higher and higher. Ye Chuan pressed down the head of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. The more he pressed the lower she got. A man and woman filled with burning passion for each other, even though they had separated for not long, they felt as if they had not seen each other for millions of years, so meeting again, they wished to continuously hug forever without separating ever again. After an intense emotion for a long time, the two people finally calmed down. After cultivating, their exhausted spirit however was especially cheerful and their cultivation also made a progress. A pair cultivation technique was like that, the cultivation speed was heaven-defying. Because of this reason, ever since the ancient times, experienced cultivators held pair cultivation techniques in esteem. Husband and wife cultivate together while leisurely enjoy sightseeing the land under the heaven. But, unlike ordinary pair cultivators, Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden had mixed only their spirit, they had yet to break that last line of defense. Both of them carefully held themselves back from taking the final step. Ye Chuan was fine, truly breaking through the last line of defense was also fine, but it was different for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Heavenly Yao Sect was full of experts, there were unknown numbers of very experienced old fellows, so truly breaking through the last line of defense, they would definitely realize from the walking posture of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. And if they knew that she did that before marriage, then terrifying waves would definitely rise in Heavenly Yao Sect that stressed on reputation the most. ¡°Ye Chuan, Da Qin Dynasty is bearing down menacingly. It seems they are determined to win against your Cloud Mist Sect. They say that many experts of the inner palace are on the way here, can you all withstand?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia lied on the bare chest of Ye Chuan. Her right hand¡¯s index finger was making circles on the chest of Ye Chuan, enjoying this rare moment. But a hit of worry could be seen between her eyebrows. The encounter and falling in love with Ye Chuan were completely an accident, she had never thought that she would fall in love with Ye Chuan one day, but since she had already fallen in love, she was unable to let go and the current situation of Cloud Mist Sect worried her. In this period of time, both Cloud Mist Sect and Da Qin Dynasty, each had their share of victory and defeat. With the aid of weather and favorable geographical position, Cloud Mist Sect could occupy slight advantage, but Da Qin Dynasty was different from average opponents. It was worlds apart from Black Cauldron Sect and Five City Sect. They had a solid national strength and could continuously send reinforcement. Similarly, the loss of several thousand soldiers was not worth mentioning to Da Qin Dynasty, but was fatal to Cloud Mist Sect. Let alone several thousand, just the loss of several hundred elite disciples would have irrecoverable effects on the entire war situation. ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s just 200,000 soldiers, I can wipe them out in one breath.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and pretended to look as if he was sure to win. Then, he gently caressed the long hair of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and said, ¡°Zixia, on the contrary, I am worried about your Heavenly Yao Sect, is there any change recently?¡± Da Qin Dynasty was not easy to deal with but there furthermore was a giant which was even harder to deal with that could appear at any time. And that giant was Heavenly Yao Sect which was known was the peerless sect. Since he had destroyed Heaven Burning Furnace which was known as the treasure that suppressed the fate of the sect, how could Heavenly Yao Sect easily let the matter drop? Ye Chuan appeared confident and optimistic on the surface but his heart was heavy. He was feeling far greater pressure than other sect disciples. ¡°There is a good news and a bad news.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia sat up and looking at Ye Chuan, she said, ¡°Good news is my Master White Haired Heavenly Empress comprehended the mystery of heaven and earth, she will soon break through to Sage realm and proceed to the world beyond the highest heaven breaking the void. At that time, I will be the new Heavenly Empress and I can suppress the matter of Heaven Burning Furnace. The bad news is someone is making trouble in the back. They want to prevent me from ascending to the position of Heavenly Empress.¡± ¡°Who?¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan became cold. ¡°Perhaps, there are many people that don¡¯t want me to ascend to the throne of Heavenly Empress, but there are only very few people that have the capability. Deacon Elder Tian Qing is the most suspicious one. Naturally, he alone is far from being capable enough, behind him, there seemed to be other elders too.¡± When mentioning the proper business, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was clear-cut, and her face was covered with a layer of frost as she continued, ¡°Of course, it is not that easy for Tian Qing and others to succeed. Ye Chuan, you don¡¯t need to worry about me. Oh, that¡¯s right, here, I am giving you these flying crossbows. They are very suitable to kill the elites of Da Qin Dynasty.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia used a technique and take out crossbows from inside her storage ring. Unlike common crossbow, the edges of these crossbows were protruding as if a pair of spread wings that could fly. There were a lot of ancient runes engraved on them. Ye Chuan could feel ice-cold killing aura from them. Even with the cultivation base and strength of Ye Chuan, he unexpectedly felt chill in his heart as he indistinctly felt a sense of danger. Chapter 327: Came precisely at the time Chapter 327: Came precisely at the time Ye Chuan picked up a flying crossbow from the ground and observed carefully. The workmanship of these flying crossbows was very meticulous with an identical style. It was steady and strong, but there was a subtle difference in details. It appeared as if all these hundred flying crossbows were meticulously carved by the same person. Their entire body was black in color and holding it, he felt cold, which made people always remain clear-headed. And the two wings were also lifelike which made people have an illusion as if they could fly like a flying bird holding this flying crossbow. ¡°Profound Dark Wood, Virtuous Heaven Inscription, Calm Runes¡­¡­, well, what a good crossbow.¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself, slowly identifying the material used, inscription and rune craved of this flying crossbow. ¡°Ye Chuan, you¡­¡­, have you seen these flying crossbows before?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia asked in surprise. This batch of flying crossbows was taken out from the Weaponry Pavilion of Heavenly Yao Sect. Even she also just vaguely knew the origin and strength of this kind of crossbows, but what kind of material was used, what was the inscription method used, and what was the effect the runes, even she herself didn¡¯t know, but how did Ye Chuan know all this? ¡°I haven¡¯t seen them, but, I have once read an ancient book a long time ago, there was a picture of a similar crossbow. And above the picture of the crossbow, there was a name, Winged Flying Crossbow.¡± Ye Chuan said, half-genuine, half-sham, as a trace of reminiscing flashed through his eyes for an instant. A very long time ago, there was indeed a crossbow called Winged Flying Crossbow. It was the crossbow he refined using a pair of wings of Winged Demon who was the master of Winged Ominous Domain after killing the latter. It was truly a great killing weapon that frightened gods and ghosts. It was specialized to shoot down Sage realm experts. After successfully refining it, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t keep it, rather gave it to Blue Eyed Yao Empress who later established Heavenly Yao Sect as a gift. Now, this batch of flying crossbows brought by Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia from Heavenly Yao Sect, their might naturally couldn¡¯t compare to Winged Flying Crossbow refined by Ye Chuan in those years. But, the refining technique and the inscription of runes clearly had evolved from Winged Flying Sword. As for whether these crossbows were personally refined by Blue Eyed Heavenly Empress or by the later generation experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, no one knew. ¡°Winged Flying Crossbow? Well, that¡¯s a good name, Ye Chuan¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia nodded and looked up at Ye Chuan wanting to speak something but was shocked all of a sudden. She saw Ye Chuan was injecting his spiritual power into this flying crossbow and he slowly floated up in the air. Now, the wings at two edges of this flying crossbow truly looked like a pair of wings. Shortly afterward, Ye Chuan began to accelerate and flew straight towards the cliff. In the blink of an eye, his speed became faster than the speed of flying with a flying sword and it appeared as if the flying crossbow had gone out of control. ¡°Be careful!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia cried out in alarm, but at the moment when she was hesitating whether she should set out a helping hand or not, the flying crossbow in the hand of Ye Chuan shone with red light and he flew up, then turned around after soaring. And at the same time, whistling sounds resounded inside the cave as three arrows condensed from red lights brushed past the scalp of Heavenly Maiden, ferociously shooting the cliff face behind her. Now, on the solid cliff, three feet deep three holes appeared. ¡°Amazing, what a good bow technique!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia came back to her sense and cheered. Looking at the three holes on the cliff, even she felt danger. It seemed she was relatively hasty for taking out this batch of flying crossbows, even she had not expected such an astonishing power from them. With this flying crossbow in the hands of everyone, even a group of ordinary disciples might be able to kill a later stage Daoist Master realm expert! ¡°Not a good bow technique, it¡¯s a good bow! Merely, only three arrows could be fired at a time, moreover, the might of red light arrow is a bit worse.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head appearing somewhat regretful. The Winged Flying Sword he gave to Blue Eyed Yao Empress in those years could shoot nine energy arrows at a time, moreover, the arrows were a lot more powerful even compared to the cyan light beam of Evil Eyed Cow Demons. That was a true killing weapon. Naturally, for these imitate artifacts, it was pretty good for being about to do this. At least the material used was first-class, moreover, there were no less than hundred, came precisely at the time. With these hundred flying crossbows, the destructive power of disciples of Cloud Mist Sect would definitely increase, moreover, the soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty in the stone fortress would be caught unprepared! ¡°Ye Chuan, how come I feel that you have used these flying crossbows before?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia picked up a flying crossbow and similarly injected her spirit power, then rising to the sky, she moved left and right, making a number of moves. Her posture was pretty good and she was able to move freely, but, compared to that kind of terrifying speed and explosive power of Ye Chuan, there was a big gap. Heavenly Maiden thought to herself, if she said that she was able to control this flying crossbow freely, then, these crossbows in the hands of Ye Chuan had simply reached the acme of perfection. It was even more powerful than a flying sword. ¡°I am a genius, regardless of whatever in my hand, it will become familiar very quickly. Aren¡¯t you the same? In my hands, you will ripen very quickly.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and hugged Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, then caressed the burning hot virgin body of pure and noble Heavenly Maiden. Soon, the body of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia softened. She collapsed in the bosom of Ye Chuan as if she was boneless. Her eyes were blurred but all this time, consciously or unconsciously, she half-hid her face as she didn¡¯t want Ye Chuan to clearly see her aged face which was the result of forcibly using the Great Wish technique. ¡°Ye Chuan, let¡¯s¡­¡­, let¡¯s cultivate again, quickly¡­¡­¡± ¡°Zixia, suddenly taking out so many flying crossbows, aren¡¯t you afraid that someone might discover?¡± Ye Chuan asked, and hugging Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia on the ground, he continued to tease burning hot Heavenly Maiden. Then, whispered in her ears, ¡°Be sure to not delay your ascending onto the throne of Heavenly Empress for my sake. Endure and wait until you become Heavenly Empress and completely control Heavenly Yao Sect, at that time, I will accompany you to cultivate for ten days straight, okay?¡± ¡°No, I have a sense a sense of propriety. These flying crossbows were placed in a very remote corner of the third floor of Weaponry Pavilion, average people are not qualified to go there and the people who are qualified to go to the third floor don¡¯t care about these flying crossbows. They look for war robes, flying swords and so on treasures instead.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia said but she was unable to control her strong desire. She couldn¡¯t wait for a moment and suddenly pushed Ye Chuan down. However, just when she was about to take a step further, rustling footsteps suddenly came from outside. ¡°Someone is coming.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was startled awake and she hastily put on her spacious bamboo hat, but it was too late to sort out her messy clothes. From outside the cave, the voice of Zhu Sijia came, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­ where are you? Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± The voice of Zhu Sijia was getting nearer and nearer as she walked towards the cave. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia looked all around. This cave was rather dark, but it was not deep enough to hide, so she glared at Ye Chuan with hidden bitterness, then holding her big bamboo hat, she toughened her scalp and rushed out, brushing past Zhu Sijia as if a gust of wind. ¡°Who?¡± Since a person suddenly rushed out of the darkness, Zhu Sijia was so scared that she jumped and her complexion became ice-cold. But, just when she was about to chase out, a groaning sound of Ye Chuan came from inside the cave as if he was injured. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­.¡± Zhu Sijia dropped the thought of chasing and hastily rushed inside. Sure enough, she saw Ye Chuan was rolling on the ground and looking at his appearance, his injuries seemed serious. There were many crossbows scattered all around, seemingly, a fierce battle had just taken place. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what happened?¡± Zhu Sijia rushed over and supported Ye Chuan. She was very nervous at this moment. ¡°There was an assassin, Da Qin Dynasty dispatched a first rate assassin. Taking advantage of the time when I was refining these crossbows in the cave, she suddenly attacked, nearly piercing my chest with her sword.¡± Ye Chuan replied appearing weak and completely leaned on the chest of Zhu Sijia. ¡°Damn it, how can an assassin get in!¡± Zhu Sijia was startled and also angry. She wanted to rush out and order to seal the entire mountain valley to block that assassin, but she was worried about the injury of Ye Chuan, as a result, she fell in an awkward predicament. She was entirely unaware that Ye Chuan who was in her bosom was pretending. Only after sensing the aura of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had gotten far away, he secretly sighed in relief. This girl, how come she always come at the perfect time? No, no, this girl has come at the perfect time, now is the perfect chance! Ye Chuan was short of breath. His heart that was already triggered by the passion of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was getting worse and worse especially leaning against the chest of Zhu Sijia. He looked at the beautiful face of Zhu Sijia and thought whether it was still early to take this girl at this moment. The wolf was hungry and a little lamb delivered herself to the doorstep at this time, the wolf cannot be blamed! Ye Chuan suddenly reached out his hands and tightly hugged Zhu Sijia. His hug got tighter and tighter, seemingly wanting to squeeze a water out of tender Zhu Sijia. Chapter 328: What a shrewish woman Chapter 328: What a shrewish woman ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what happened?¡± Zhu Sijia blushed. She was somewhat shy and also somewhat happy. She felt as if something was wrong, but under the teasing of Ye Chuan, she was unable to think what was wrong. ¡°Jiajia, I am poisoned.¡± Ye Chuan said with a wounded appearance. ¡°What poison, where is the wound?¡± Zhu Sijia panicked. ¡°Below.¡± ¡°Chest?¡± ¡°No, a bit lower.¡± ¡°Then, lower abdomen?¡± ¡°Even lower.¡± A hint of an evil smile appeared in the corner of Ye Chuan¡¯s mouth. He played the same old tactics, merely, the woman in his arm had changed from Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia to junior apprentice sister Zhu Sijia. Zhu Sijia who was unaware of the hidden facts was nervous as she worried that Ye Chuan was truly poisoned. She used her soft hand to trace down the lower abdomen of Ye Chuan, and the result was¡­¡­ ¡°Pei, rogue!¡± After her right hand touched a certain part of Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia was dumbfounded, then reacted very quickly. She was both shy and angry and she subconsciously hit, which resulted in the tragedy of Ye Chuan. Even though he had already refined Half Dragon Physique, someplace was still fragile, and Ye Chuan was unable to endure such a violent attack by Zhu Sijia. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I¡­¡­, I didn¡¯t mean it, are you¡­¡­ are you fine?¡± Seeing Ye Chuan was curling up in pain. Zhu Sijia hastily supported him, then rubbed the stomach of Ye Chuan with a guilty appearance. ¡°Jiajia, you say, at this moment, what is the use of rubbing the stomach?¡± Ye Chuan said. Zhu Sijia also knew that rubbing the stomach was useless, but, if she didn¡¯t rub stomach, then should she rub that place of Ye Chuan? ¡°Humph, you deserve it, it would be best if it was broken.¡± Zhu Sijia snorted and walked out of the cave as if she was fleeing from a calamity. If she stayed, then who knows what Ye Chuan would make her do. Although she already liked him, her grandfather had yet to return, moreover, she hadn¡¯t formally and legally married him. At this moment, doing that would embarrass her to death. And feeling shy, she forgot to ponder where was wrong. This girl, she truly is shrewish. Ye Chuan smiled and slowly stretched himself and sat down. There was no trace of injury. An unexpected disturbance passed just like this. With the shrewd nature of Zhu Sijia, if she had calmly observed and pondered, then she would have noticed that the so-called assassin was not normal. It was not good to expose the identity of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Ye Chuan picked up a flying crossbow on the ground and carefully observed it. After a while, a scorching hot flame appeared at the center of his palm, then began to refine a flying crossbow on the spot. These flying crossbows were brought out from Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Weaponry Pavilion by Heavenly Maiden. Although very few pay attention to these flying crossbows, as long as they were used in a battle, one day they would attract the attention of the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. At that time, it might be very unfavorable for Heavenly Maiden Hong Ziixa. Ye Chuan thought so and decided to refine these flying crossbows in the cave. Although he couldn¡¯t change them too much, he could at least change its appearance. Even if they were discovered by the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect in future, there will be some excuse. Slowly a layer of red light appeared on the black flying crossbow. The Profound Dark Wood fused with a drop of blood, and even after being roasted in the high temperature, the flying crossbow didn¡¯t deform, but slowly changed red. This was the characteristic of Profound Dark Wood. Now, the original black flying crossbow became red, looking even more ferocious. Even after the color was changed, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t stop, he continued to circulate Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body to continue refining. Slowly, the wings of this flying crossbow also changed from wings shape to indistinct dragon head. Now, at first glance, it was completely different from its original appearance. Even if an expert of Heavenly Yao Sect was here, he might not be able to see that this was the treasure of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Weaponry Pavilion. When Ye Chuan was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he was also a weapon refining expert. Now, millions of years later, his refining technique was even more unrivaled in the world. Winged Flying Crossbow, the original version of these flying crossbows, was refined by him, so although it was impossible for an average person to change their original shape, it was not too difficult for him. For three days, Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the cave without leaving. Refining flying crossbows were not too difficult, but it was very taxing. Originally, one needed to be Sage realm expert to refine them freely, so it was rather strenuous for Ye Chuan to refine them with only Rank 2 Daoist Master realm cultivation base. After refining all 100 flying crossbows, Ye Chuan was exhausted, but his eyes were glimmering with excitement. He quickly called Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Little Long¡¯er and others. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what is this?¡± Zhu Sijia picked up one flying crossbow and felt a strong sense of danger that alarmed her. Little Long¡¯er and others were also the same. Even Old Demon of Mount Yin also inhaled a mouthful of cold air in secret as he could feel danger from these flying crossbows. ¡°Flying Crossbow, a kind of spirit crossbow that can fly faster than flying sword, later¡­.., call it Dragon Headed Flying Sword.¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and gave these flying crossbows a new name. Although his previous life was amazing and brilliant, that had already become the thing of the past. What is important was this life. Similarly, although Winged Flying Crossbow was powerful, it was already the thing of the past. In this life, he wanted to refine even more powerful Dragon Headed Flying Sword. Now, was just the preliminary refining, later, after he broke through to Sage realm or Half-Sage realm, he could kill ferocious dragons and place their power and soul into those flying crossbows and refine them into a true Dragon headed Flying Crossbows. When that moment comes, the power of these Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows would be far higher than previous Winged Flying Crossbow. In his previous life, he only concealed the heaven, in this life, he wanted to swallow the heaven! Ye Chuan was ambitious and will never be satisfied easily. ¡°Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia muttered to herself and she injected her spirit power into it. Then, she immediately floated up in the air and shot three energy arrows. And they just happened to brush past the scalp of Fatty Zhao Dazhi and hit the solid cliff behind, making three deep holes. Unlike Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, fatty didn¡¯t have such a strong willpower, he was so frightened that he trembled and his legs went soft. Just now, as long as Zhu Sijia was even a bit off, then his head would have penetrated. ¡°Well, what a good bow technique!¡± Everybody cheered as their eyes shone with excitement. Zhu Sijia swayed in the air and made a series of rapid acceleration and emergency stop along with high-speed maneuvers. Sure enough, just like Ye Chuan said, compared to stepping on flying sword, this flying crossbow was faster, moreover, was easier to control. Her graceful figure left behind a series of graceful afterimages in the air and her momentum became fiercer and fiercer. Now, the dragon heads on two edges appeared just like two real dragons, reminding people dragon bodyguards of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, are these for us?¡± Zhu Sijia stopped and was excited. She was keenly aware of the extraordinary significance of these Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows. This wasn¡¯t one, rather no less than 100. They can be equipped with a team of elites. On the battlefield, the sudden appearance of elites holding this kind of flying crossbows could definitely wipe out enemies. ¡°Yes, they are for you all. Jiajia, what are you waiting for? Let¡¯s get to work now!¡± Ye Chuan stood up and his killing intent soared. He had been in seclusion for so long, letting Da Qin Dynasty move forward without any trouble. Now, it was time to make Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and others taste a bitter taste that would make them suffer untold misery. Chapter 329: Big fish Chapter 329: Big fish One hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows were quickly distributed. Zhu Sijia selected the most elite disciples and formed a flying crossbow squad with a Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow in their hand. This was an elite force of Cloud Mist Sect to fight back Da Qin Dynasty and also the future hope of Cloud Mist Sect. If these hundred disciples died, then the vitality of Cloud Mist Sect would be greatly damaged even if Da Qin Dynasty didn¡¯t attack them. After experiencing the power of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, Old Demon of Mount Yin drooled and scrambled for one. As for Fatty Zhao Dazhi, he pestered for one, but, both of them were rejected by Zhu Sijia. All hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows were taken away by her. After the preparation was complete, Cloud Mist Sect attacked once again. This time, they didn¡¯t choose the stone fortress of Da Qin Dynasty that was nearest to Cloud Mist Sect, rather chose a stronghold in the middle. The stronghold at the front was guarded very strictly, in turn, the strongholds in the middle which were far away from the frontline were rather relaxed. Just like before, Old Demon of Mount Yin was the first one to make a move. After getting along for a period of time, yao beast legion and disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had become more and more proficient in cooperation. Under the command of Old Demon of Mount Yin, Six Winged Golden Cicada flew out and hovered around the fortress at the summit, quietly sizing up the current circumstance. In order to occupy favorable terrain, almost all strongholds of Da Qin Dynasty were built at the top of a mountain as they could have a good view of the surrounding terrain, but it was also easy to suffer besieging. A tough and tensile vine slowly sprang out from the ground. The vines didn¡¯t hastily rush out to injure people, rather the overwhelming majority of them hid underground, wantonly absorbing the energy around them. This was another method to break the restriction of the fortress. When Ye Chuan was in seclusion, Zhu Sijia and others had used this method to break Tyrant King Restriction of Da Qin Dynasty. Ye Chuan used force, he used huge power to suddenly smash a small point to break the restriction instantly. On the other hand, Old Demon of Mount Yin used a clever skill, slowly breaking the restriction. If there was not enough energy supply, then this powerful Tyrant King Restriction would naturally collapse. Often, the guards of the fortress would notice something strange only after it was already too late. The sky gradually darkened and night fell. Old Demon of Mount Yin patiently cracked the Tyrant King Restriction of the fortress. As long as this restriction was broken, the main force would swarm in. Other than several yao beasts that scouts the circumstance, the big army was hidden in a valley halfway up this mountain. At first glance, the fortress was very quiet without any unusualness. But at this moment, a row of torches that were especially conspicuous in the dark appeared at the foot of the mountain. A large group of people was walking towards the fortress at the summit. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect that were hiding halfway up the mountain hid even more carefully. This group of people approached nearer and nearer. There were at least thousand people in that ground. After they arrived at close proximity, a familiar face appeared in front of people. It was neither human nor ghost, was none other than Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who was commanding the army this time. They came neither early nor late, they were unexpectedly walking towards the fortress at the summit at this moment at this perfect time. Around Li Guang Han, a group of bodyguards was clustered including Tang Yixian and expert Extinction Taoist. It appeared as if this group was patrolling or just happen to pass by here when they decided to rest. ¡°Quick, quick, quick, still not opening the door and coming out to welcome? His Highness has come personally, still not moving quickly, don¡¯t you all want to live?¡± Someone shouted loudly as a messenger quickly rushed towards the summit to order the guards to quickly open the door. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han walked in the middle of the troops. With attendants crowding round, he appeared very imposing, but his complexion was sinister and ruthless, clearly was not very happy at this moment. In this period of time, he had been living in the big military camp of Pingyuan ancient town without leaving. And after waiting for half a month in a small wooden house, he was unable to suppress anymore. Although the army had been pushing forward by building strongholds, under the constant harassment and counterattack of Cloud Mist Sect, they would often lose two strongholds after they build three which was equivalent to retreating two steps back after taking three steps forward. As a result, their advancing speed had drastically slowed down, and the battle had gradually reached a stalemate. This made him uncomfortable. Today, under the urge of Tang Yixian, he finally persuaded Extinction Taoist to come out and take a stroll as well as personally inspect the strongholds on the way. After reaching deep into Cloud Mist Mountain Range, the counterattack of Cloud Mist Sect had become fiercer and fiercer, so Extinction Taoist opposed the idea of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han leaving the camp at this moment. However, Li Guang Han insisted on having his own way, so he was forced to personally accompany him, hoping nothing would happen throughout the journey.Unfortunately, they just happen to meet the ambush of Cloud Mist Sect, moreover, had met Ye Chuan who had just exited seclusion. Ye Chuan was sitting cross-legged in a dark corner and seeing the figures of Li Guang Han and his groups, his eyes shone. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what should we do now, should we attack or not?¡± Zhu Sjia walked over to Ye Chuan and asked for instruction in person. Before, she had some assurance for this battle, but with the sudden reinforcement of Da Qin Dynasty which included Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han in person as well as the experts around him, it was hard to say whether they could win this battle or not. A slight carelessness and they would meet a violent counterattack, in turn, suffering heavy casualties. ¡°Attack, why not attack? Tell Rhodes, make a move now, immediately!¡± Ye Chuan coldly ordered. Since he finally caught the big fish Li Guang Han, how could he let this chance slip? Attack now? Zhu Sijia was somewhat surprised, but she turned around accepting the order. Giving up to attack the fortress, instead switching to attack the group of Li Guang Han, the harvest would be even bigger. And they also didn¡¯t need to spend the time to break some restriction before attacking. Even if they were unable to kill Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, as long as he was severely injured or his left or right hand was cut off, it would be much better than eradicating a stronghold. Countless vines switched their direction as they poured halfway up the mountain. With sufficiently good eyesight, one could notice the appearance of soft shoots which rapidly grew into vines on the mountain. Upon receiving the order, Old Demon of Mount Yin quickly acted. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and his group continued to walk towards the fortress at the summit. It was getting darker and a cold wind blew over, but no one noticed any difference. However, when the vines grew as tall as a person and were only 100 meters away, Extinction Taoist finally noticed the difference. He suddenly stopped and sensed around carefully. ¡°Extinction Master, what happened? Is there a yao beast?¡± Li Guang Han was confused. He was a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert but he couldn¡¯t sense anything. There was the aura of yao beasts, but they were just pangolins, evil eyed cow demons and other low leveled yao beasts which hid to one side seeing them. As for high leveled yao beasts that could pose any threat to them, there was none. ¡°Your Highness, not yao beast, it¡¯s¡­¡­¡± Before Extinction Taoist could finish speaking, he felt danger which got stronger and stronger. At that time, countless vines suddenly poured out from all direction. In an instant, they rolled up like sea waves and blotted out the sky. And at the same time, Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s laughter also resounded throughout the sky just like the bugle of Death God. Chapter 330: Flying Crossbow Squad Chapter 330: Flying Crossbow Squad ¡°Your Highness, watch out!¡± Extinction Taoist suddenly rushed and appeared in front of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Then, along with whoosh, whoosh, whoosh sounds, more than a dozen vines ferociously lashed out like whips. Dust suddenly rolled up and whistling sounds resounded with vines flying everywhere. Extinction Taoist was amazing. He helped Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han block the surprise attack. But, the other people accompanying them weren¡¯t so lucky. With countless vines suddenly blotting out the sky, over a hundred bodyguards fell. The majority of them weren¡¯t killed directly, rather, because they were unprepared, they lost their balance or staggered down, and as long as they fell to the ground, thousands of vines would suddenly gush forth and drown them in that terrifying vine ocean. ¡°Kakaka, kill, kill them all!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily. He didn¡¯t take action in person, just commanded countless vines from far away. And after absorbing the essence blood and vital yang of soldiers, he became more daring, and he used his innate skill Vine Demon Dance to the extreme. In this period of time when he was beside Ye Chuan, his cultivation had increased sharply. Now, his current growth was far faster than last hundred years when he was hiding in Five Fingered Mount Yin combined. A cyan light beam shone, dazzling the night sky. Evil Eyed Cow Demons that were waiting for a long time rushed out and quickly arranging themselves in a battle formation, they attacked. As usual, these cyan light beams simply couldn¡¯t break through the physical defense of expert. But, with the help of vines, their might vastly increased. A slight carelessness and a soldier would have a hole on their body. In addition, a series of cries came from the sky as a large group of Golden Eagles swooped down from the air and used their sharp claws to specifically attack the eyes of the soldiers. The overwhelming numbers of vines created the chaos and Evil Eyed Cow Demon, Golden Eagles and other yao beasts attacked. Their attack became more and more intense with time. In this period of time, this was the most used and also most skilled move of yao beast legion. Fighting alone, their power wasn¡¯t big, but they relied on quantity to pile up firepower. Under their unguarded state, ordinary soldiers were finding hard to hold on their own, even Daoist Master realm experts were flustered, suffering a setback. ¡°Be careful, protect his highness.¡± ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s Cloud Mist Sect again!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Soldiers cursed furiously and tried to gather together to protect Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han while rushing towards the fortress at the summit. Although they had reached just halfway up the mountain, this mountain was too tall. They were still far away from the summit. The messenger that had gone first to notify had already died in the midst of vines. But the soldiers inside the fortress quickly noticed the movement of halfway up a hill, however, they didn¡¯t dare to easily go down the mountain since they didn¡¯t know the inside story, in addition, it was night at this moment. So, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and others should break out of this encirclement on their own. All the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect rushed forward stepping on flying swords. Their sword qi was fierce, and they tore the defense line of soldiers like a fierce tiger. And yao beasts took advantage of this void to enter. Yao beast army was responsible to launch a surprise attack, encirclement and creating panic and chaos. And the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were responsible for assaulting. The two forces cooperated and pursued relentlessly like wolves. And from time to time, soldiers fell and the accompanying experts of imperial palace were also no exception. Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi who were mixed in Cloud Mist Sect cooperated and overpowered everyone. ¡°Black Raven, Baizhu, protect His Highness!¡± Extinction Taoist ordered in a stern voice and turned to face Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. He must either stop or kill these two fellows, otherwise, with countless vines in the front and these two fellows leading the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect in the back, they would be unable to escape this disaster. Seemingly light horsetail whisk scattered towards Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi. The instant that horsetail whisk nearly reached them, it suddenly straightened and as if a spear, stabbed towards them along with wind breaking sounds. ¡°Watch out!¡± Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi shouted in unison and dodged sideways at the same time. Even though they were cooperating, they unexpectedly had a feeling that they wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat him, so they didn¡¯t dare to fight against Extinction Taoist. ¡°You two, did you think you have dodged?¡± Extinction Taoist smiled and the horsetail whisk in his hand suddenly changed direction, then bang bang, Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi were sent flying. And before they fell to the ground, the horsetail whisk once again scattered, wanting to poke hundreds of holes on their body to death. An ear piercing sound resounded all of a sudden. Extinction Taoist who was about to succeed easily suddenly stopped. Then, he turned to look and saw a hint of red light streaking across the night sky at an astonishing speed. That was a flying sword, it was completely red and extremely sharp, moreover, its speed was a lot faster than common flying swords. The complexion of Extinction Taoist was cold and he waves his horsetail whisk to stop this flying sword. Ding, the blood red flying sword was sent flying, and as for his horsetail whisk, a crack appeared on it and its fine hairs fluttered in the air. Ye Chuan suddenly appeared and caught the Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. The horsetail whisk in the hand of Extinction Taoist had a big background. It was said that whenever it was used, blood would splatter. It was so tough that it could easily break ordinary flying swords, but, this time, it met a first-class flying sword! ¡°Thank you, noble son!¡± Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi bowed to Ye Chuan to express their gratitude. Narrowly escaping their death, their entire body was drenched with sweat. If Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t arrived at the brink of time, then they two would have been in danger. ¡°Withdraw!¡± Ye Chuan coldly said and clapped his hand, then Zhu Sijia leading hundred elites of Cloud Mist Sect rushed over. They had Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow in hands and didn¡¯t step on flying sword but they were flying, moreover, they were faster than stepping on flying sword. And at the same time, a red light flashed towards Extinction Taoist. What is that? The pupils of Extinction Taoist shrunk, and at the next moment, he jumped back without any hesitation. As he sees it, the cultivation of these elites of Cloud Mist Sect before his eyes was not up to much, but Dragon Headed Flying Sword in their hand, he knew that they were dangerous killing weapons at first glance. Even he felt strong danger from them. What¡¯s more, who was Ye Chuan? Will he give up this chance of rushing up in a crowd to besiege him and let these ordinary disciples attack? Swish, swish, swish, suddenly wind breaking sound responded in the night sky. Extinction Taoist¡¯s reaction was very fast, but in an instant, he was surrounded by several hundred energy arrows. Each Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow was already a big killing weapon, so with a hundred flying crossbows simultaneously showing their prowess, the destructive power was enough to cause one¡¯s hair standing on end. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Extinction Taoist gave a horrible shriek and blood flowed out from several bloody holes. Even with his cultivation base, he didn¡¯t have enough time to dodge, so he only protected his vital parts and retreated while gritting his teeth. He returned to the side of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, and no longer dared to arrogantly advance by himself. ¡°Great Master, are you injured?¡± ¡°How can that brat Ye Chuan do this?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and others were so surprised that their eyes were wide open. This was inconceivable, this was the first time they had seen Extinction Taoist in such sore straits. The latter didn¡¯t utter a word, he couldn¡¯t attend to answer and a hint of terror flashed in his eyes. Ye Chuan and those disciples of Cloud Mist Sect who were behind just a moment ago suddenly outflanked them and blocked their way front. Compared to stepping on the flying sword, their sped was much faster and the Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows were aimed at them. Chapter 331: Chase to kill in the wilds Chapter 331: Chase to kill in the wilds Swish, swish, swish, whistling sounds resounded. Ordinary soldiers had yet to react, but Extinction Taoist was already retreating quickly, pulling Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han behind. Sad and shrill screams suddenly resounded throughout the night sky and rows after rows of soldiers fell. There was one arrow that had shot straight towards Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Its power exhausted only after it pierced through the chest of three soldiers in succession, then it disappeared changing into red light specks. The heart of Li Guang Han jumped crazily. He almost blacked out in this instant and cold sweats appeared on his forehead. If it was not for Extinction Taoist pulling him away, or if those three bodyguards weren¡¯t standing in front of him by coincidence, then now, the one rolling on the ground would be him! ¡°Withdraw, retreat to the main camp, quick!¡± Extinction Taoist gave an order in a stern voice and then pulling Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who was still in a daze, he turned away. He gave up meeting with the soldiers at the stone fortress of the peak, he turned around and fled down the hill. With a hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, the fighting capability of Cloud Mist Sect had increased sharply, moreover, Ye Chuan was bringing up the rear in person. It was very likely that the stronghold at the peak will be destroyed tonight, so it was a bad idea to rush to that stronghold as they would be surrounded by Cloud Mist Sect with nowhere to go. Besides, there were countless vines in the front, they couldn¡¯t rush forward even if they wanted. The remaining soldiers also retreated hastily. When coming, they had an awesome bearing, now, in the blink of an eye, they threw away their helmet and chainmail in terror. Even Extinction Taoist was injured, who was the opponent now? Compared to soldiers, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was even more depressed as he gritted his teeth. He had come out of camp after a long time, but he unexpectedly met Ye Chuan and his ambush. In the past, he would have definitely risked his life, but now, he only had thoughts to run for his life. ¡°Chase, don¡¯t let anyone escape!¡± Ye Chuan commanded coldly as he personally led everyone to chase. The guards of the fortress finally reacted. They dispatched a squad to reinforce, but this squad of 300 soldiers was drowned by the vines in an instant, as a result, the remaining soldiers became so scared that they were jumpy and they hastily closed the door and no longer daring to show themselves. As for the elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and yao beast legion, they chased after Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and his group with all their strength. At this moment, the dim light of night shrouded the earth and the cold wind was bone chilling. On this dark towering mountain and precipitous ridge, both sides staged a fierce chase. Soldiers would fall to the ground time to time. Perhaps, in order to desperately fight to protect Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, or, perhaps, they perfectly knew that it was hard to avoid death, soldiers frequently stayed behind in batches trying to stop the pursuing troops behind. Unfortunately, regardless of ordinary soldiers or the experts of inner palace, under the bombardment of hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, they were unable to resist, followed closely by a large number of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples rushing forward and then yao beast legion, all of them changed into unrecognizable corpses. Slowly, the group of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han became fewer and fewer. Someone urgently asked help from a nearby stronghold, but the nearest stronghold was at least 20 li away. When the reinforcement arrived, even their corpses might have already become ice-cold. Besides, unless the main force hurry over or some powerful experts rushed over, all others would only be courting death in vain by coming here. Under the bombardment of those terrifying Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, many died! In this chase, Ye Chuan had been chasing maintaining a fixed distance between him and Li Guang Han¡¯s group, silently waiting for the final moment to arrive. Tonight, encountering the group of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was a chance, a very rare chance. The target of Ye Chuan was not only Li Guang Han, furthermore was also Extinction Taoist. Killing this evil Taoist was equivalent to chopping off the hands of Li Guang Han and disposing of half the fighting capability of Da Qin army. Then, from the next battle, they would have the initiative. Ye Chuan still had lingering fear towards the Extinction Restriction of Extinction Taoist. Since this was a rare chance, he would not let this fellow slip off. He must kill him taking advantage of his current injury! ¡°Your Highness, if this goes on like this, we will not be able to escape.¡± Extinction Taoist suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the ferocious army of Cloud Mist Sect, furthermore, Ye Chuan in the midst of this army, then his complexion tightened. While fleeing from halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain, their vast army of more than thousand men had already reduced to less than a hundred. If this continues, then they would be wiped out, not a single one would be able to escape. Encountering this kind of rare chance, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were pursuing relentlessly with soaring killing intent. ¡°Don¡¯t move, stay behind to cover the retreat, let His Highness leave first!¡± The middle-aged advisor, Tang Yixuan, shouted, and like a stray cur, he enviously looked at Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. He was dying to turn around and leave first by himself. Result, just after he shouted, Extinction Taoist kicked him flying, and after falling to the ground, he vomited a mouthful of blood. A villain is truly poisonous! Extinction Taoist had already found this villain Tang Yixian not pleasing to the eye. And at this time, he was still jumping out, wasn¡¯t this just courting death? ¡°Dark Raven, Baizhi, you two, lead everyone and stay behind to cover the retreat!¡± Extinction Taoist coldly ordered and he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out his fate flying sword, then along with Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, he stepped on this flying sword and flew away in the blink of an eye. Behind, a large group of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples used crossbows to attack and soldiers fell one after another. They were even unable to cover the retreat and they dispersed in confusion. Even powerful Dark Raven and Baizhi, these two powerful experts of imperial palace were also the same. They wanted to break out of this encirclement taking advantage of this confusion, but, Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi tied them up. And those countless vines and yao beast legion besieged them heavily. The speed of Extinction Taoist was amazing. He hastily turned back to look and his face became even gloomier. This time, Cloud Mist Sect was too ferocious. The soldiers left behind will not be able to stall for more time. A cyan light flashed and Extinction Taoist gritted his teeth as he accelerated. The loss of this time was too big and they suffered heavy casualties. This was the most disastrous loss since the start of this war. They had carelessly fallen into the ambush of Cloud Mist Sect, but as long as Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was safe, this will not affect the overall situation. The victory or loss of this war had yet to be decided. A red light streaked across the sky in even faster speed. Extinction Taoist who had turned back to look at the situation back turned his head forward and just when he was about to use all his strength to quickly leave this place, his limbs suddenly got cold. In front, there was a tall figure standing. Ye Chuan stepping on Dragon Slaying Flying Sword was blocking their path ahead with a long whip in his hand. ¡°Your Highness, the moon tonight is so beautiful, since you have already come here, how about staying in my Cloud Mist Sect?¡± Ye Chuan smiled at Li Guang Han while lightly waving the whip in his hand, issuing an ear-piercing sound. Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, Dragon Binding Chain, both of them were big killing weapons given to him by the cyan robed elder, Meng Qi. He was grinning from ear to ear wielding them looking just like a person who wouldn¡¯t even harm an ant, but his killing intent was soaring and Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body were circulating faster as he prepared a deadly attack. ¡°Surnamed Ye, what do you want?¡± Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han looked pale and even was trembling slightly. His cultivation was also not low, his cultivation realm was far higher than Ye Chuan, but even Extinction Taoist wasn¡¯t his opponent, no need to speak about himself. Moreover, looking back and seeing the Flying Crossbow Unit was already approaching, his heartbeat involuntarily became faster and faster. Chapter 332: Self-detonation Chapter 332: Self-detonation ¡°What do I want?¡± Ye Chuan smiled and said: ¡°Simple, I want to kill you. Whatever you wanted to do to me, I want to do that to you. Could it be that you truly think that I want to ask you to come to my Cloud Mist Sect as a guest? Look at yourself, you are neither human nor ghost, even kittens and puppies will be scared out of their skin seeing you, why would I think of inviting you to my Cloud Mist Sect as a guest? A prince is not allowed, if the princess was the one that came, then that is more like it.¡± Ye Chuan was very direct. He didn¡¯t beat around the bush with Li Guang Han. Other people might have misgivings due to his identity of Da Qin Crown Prince, and they might not dare to kill him in the battlefield, at most only capture him and negotiate with Da Qin King. But, Ye Chuan was different, he killed first and then negotiate. ¡°You¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han trembled and no words came out. As a Da Qin Crown Prince, he was already arrogant enough, but he didn¡¯t expect that Ye Chuan was even more arrogant than him. Originally, he wanted to use the title of Da Qin Crown Prince to threaten, but who would have thought that Ye Chuan basically didn¡¯t regard that as a matter of any importance. ¡°Surround them, don¡¯t let them escape!¡± ¡°Kill this evil Li Guang Han, kill!¡± Just after a while, hundred Flying Crossbow Squad rushed over and surrounded Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and Extinction Taoist. With flying crossbow in their hand, their speed was faster than when stepping on a flying sword. With those dragon heads on both edges working like a pair of wings, they could fly faster. Li Guang Han and Extinction Taoist were frightened seeing the might of these flying crossbows. Even Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t expected them to be this powerful and ferocious. It seemed that even after Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress, another heaven-defying expert had appeared in the history of Heavenly Yao Sect. He should have personally refined these flying crossbows. Unfortunately, they were collecting dust in the Weaponry Pavilion of Heavenly Yao Sect. The disciples that didn¡¯t have enough cultivation base had no idea and those who had sufficient cultivation base and experience held them in contempt. In the end, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia brought and gave them to Ye Chuan. ¡°Your Highness, go!¡± Extinction Taoist suddenly flew towards Ye Chuan and Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han followed closely behind. The cultivation base of these two people wasn¡¯t average, they suddenly attacked, wanting to capture Ye Chuan as a hostage. Ye Chuan swayed and disappeared using unparalleled style technique, leaving behind afterimage for Extinction Taoist and Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. While running in the hurry, Extinction Taoist was unable to lay down Extinction Restriction he was famous for, now, if he wanted to trap Ye Chuan like before in the military camp, then that would be difficult. ¡°Attack!¡± Zhu Sijia ordered as she released arrows from her Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow. Swish, swish, swish, void breaking sounds suddenly resounded. Extinction Taoist and Li Guang Han gritted their teeth and tried to forcibly break out of this encirclement while dodging these whistling arrows. Even though they were injured, they continued to rush outside. Extinction Taoist was in the front with his horsetail whisk spread out. He penetrated the throat of three disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and rush out, tearing open the line of defense. Li Guang Han followed closely behind. And the moment he was about to break out of the encirclement, he suddenly had an idea. He bent over to pick up Dragon Headed Flying Sword fallen on the ground. He wanted to use this kind of big killing weapons to suppress Ye Chuan¡¯s group in turn. But, such greet ruined his best chance to break out of this encirclement. Countless vines suddenly sprang out from the ground and bound the left hand of Li Guang Han like snakes then quickly spread towards his body. At that time, a strange laughter resounded beside his ears. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes rushed up and joined the battle. ¡°Your Highness¡­¡­¡± Extinction Taoist turned around and shouted. He wanted to help but was already too late. He gritted his teeth and speed up his flying sword and cut off the left arm of Li Guang Han at the base. At that time, Ye Chuan suddenly came out from the dark, and taking advantage of this occasion, he ferociously palmed Extinction Taoist. He had been waiting for a long time for this moment! Circulating seven Heaven Swallowing Talismans, 126,000 jin strength instantly erupted. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Extinction Taoist screamed and vomited a mouthful of blood. Now, his chest had a clear handprint and he could sense that his internal organs were destroyed by this palm attack of Ye Chuan. If there was an average Daoist Master realm expert in his place, then even if he didn¡¯t die under this attack of Ye Chuan, then he would still be lying on the ground half dead. But, Extinction Taoist was strong, he grabbed Li Guang Han and flew away gritting his teeth. Even though he was already dripping with blood, he still fought desperately to break out of this encirclement. ¡°Chase!¡± Ye Chuan coldly ordered. Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and took the initiative to chase. Countless vines like endless sea waves rushed forward and numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect followed closely behind. As for Ye Chuan, he leisurely followed behind. Since the arrows of flying crossbows had already shot him, in addition, he had landed a heavy palm attack squarely, today, Extinction Taoist was dead. As for Li Guang Han, in addition to losing an arm, he was severely injured too. Today, both of them were screwed. The more they ran, the faster they lost blood and the faster they die! Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s elites chased Extinction Taoist and Li Guang Han with all their strength. At the foot of the mountain, the battle was still ongoing. Many soldiers were still resisting, but this didn¡¯t affect the overall situation. Just leaving Six Winged Golden Cicada, Evil Eyed Cow Demons and other yao beasts along with some ordinary disciples were enough to deal with them. Waves after waves of arrows fell like raindrops and vines often suddenly appeared in the front blocking their way. Now, Extinction Taoist was fighting while retreating. Their injuries were getting more and more serious. Especially Extinction Taoist, he bore the brunt of most of the attacks, and his entire body was dripping with blood, moreover, he was getting slower and slower. At this time, a soaring flame appeared at the distant place along with the battle cries of soldiers. The reinforcement had arrived, unfortunately, they two were already unable to keep going. ¡°Your Highness, this small official is already dying, help me pass my words to State Teacher and His Highness, please avenge me, flood Cloud Misty Sect with blood!¡± Extinction Taoist smiled with sadness. With blood flowing from all over his body, he no longer ran. He suddenly used his last bit of power to push Li Guang Han forward, then he himself turned towards the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. After that, with a violent energy fluctuation erupting within his body, he self-detonated. A powerful air blast tore the vines into pieces and the chasing disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were sent flying back. Extinction Taoist who was regarded as one of the very best experts in the imperial palace was forced into a dead end by Ye Chuan and selected to self-detonate with no other choice. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han howled like a wild beast, then gritting his teeth, he rushed towards the distant place from where the fire had soared. At this moment, his speed vastly increased as his potential had thoroughly erupted. Personally seeing the suicide attack of Extinction Taoist, the heart of Li Guang Han was bleeding. It was not because he had a deep feeling towards Extinction Taoist, rather because Ye Chuan had forced him to take this step. This was the greatest shame in his life. He had never been so angry like today! He vowed that if he couldn¡¯t kill Ye Chuan, then he was worse than a dog or pig. What power, what emperor throne, they were nothing at this moment, his hatred towards Ye Chuan was far stronger! In my life, if I didn¡¯t kill Ye Chuan, then I am not a human! Li Guang Han ran wildly with all his strength. Now, he had only one thought in his head, that was to kill Ye Chuan! Behind, after that powerful shockwave subsided, Old Demon of Mount Yin and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect stood up and just when they were about to rally their forces to continue chasing, Ye Chuan shook his head and stopped them from chasing. Because of the disturbance of Extinction Taoist, Li Guang Han had already reached far away and the reinforcement of Da Qin army also had already arrived. And at this moment, he didn¡¯t know how many reinforcements had come, so continue to chase already outweighs the gain. Chapter 333: The wrath of Da Qin King Chapter 333: The wrath of Da Qin King When the enemy forces were pressing towards them, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect rapidly cleaned up the battlefield. In this battle, Li Guang Han and his group were caught unprepared. Many experts of the imperial palace died nursing a hatred, leaving many treasures scattered in the wilds. The corpses of the disciples were also taken away because they wanted to bring back their corpses to give a proper burial in Cloud Mist Sect. All the treasures left behind by the opponents were also taken away. Zhu Sijia and the disciples under her leadership were very busy. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, we caught a fellow that was feigning dead, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi came over with a middle-aged captive while shouting. Ye Chuan was rather surprised looking at this captive. The captive was a middle-aged man with a goatee. He was unexpectedly none other than advisory Yang Yixian he had seen in the military camp with Li Guang Han. ¡°Oh, turned out to be Lord Tang, it¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡± Ye Chuan smiled as he sized up this advisor in sore straits. It was fine if he didn¡¯t smile, but with him smiling, advisor Tang Yixian became even more afraid. Cold sweats flowed down from his forehead and he trembled as he didn¡¯t know how to reply. ¡°Ye¡­¡­, noble son Ye, no, Your Excellency Ye, I¡­¡­¡± ¡°Do you want to say that Li Guang Han was the one who mobilized the soldiers this time and this has nothing to do with you? Or to say, you have both aged parents and young children to support and take care of, so beg me to spare your life?¡± The smile of Ye Chuan became even more magnificent. Tang Yixian subconsciously nodded his head then quickly shook his head again. He who had a whole bag of tricks in former days was at a loss at this moment. Extinction Taoist died, Li Guang Han also lost his arm. How can he escape from this big devil Ye Chuan? Now, Ye Chuan already feared neither Heaven nor Earth. ¡°Well, let¡¯s not talk nonsense, I can let you live, hereafter, you will be my Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s outer sect disciple and you are especially responsible for scouting news beside Li Guang Han. Eat this pill and leave quickly, don¡¯t make Li Guang Han become suspicious.¡± Ye Chuan took out a pill from Cyan Lotus Lamp and handed it over as he spoke straightly. Even more cold sweats appeared on the forehead of Tang Yixian as he said, ¡°Your¡­¡­, Your Highness, this is¡­¡­¡± ¡°This is a poison, it¡¯s very poisonous. You have to take antidote at the interval of a period of time, otherwise, your internal organs will fester and die. My Cloud Mist Sect is best at refining pills including all kinds of poisons. Tang Yixian, you know this point, don¡¯t you?¡± Ye Chuan was very direct. Poison was poison, he didn¡¯t deceive people saying it was a magic drug as he disdained using such means of deceiving peoples. Even though he was fully aware that this was a poison, did Tang Yixian have a choice to not eat? Obviously, Tang Yixian didn¡¯t have any choice unless he didn¡¯t want to live. Miserably looking at Ye Chuan and again looking at ferocious disciples of Cloud Mist Sect as well as ghastly Old Demon of Mount Yin, he had to toughen his scalp and swallow the pill. His current expression looked unwell as if he had eaten a dead fly. ¡°Go, if there is any good news, report immediately, that will benefit you.¡± Ye Chuan instructed. ¡°Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency.¡± Tang Yixian bowed and turned away, hastily running down the mountain. Although he had escaped this disaster by feigning death this time, after eating the pill of Ye Chuan, he didn¡¯t know how long he would live. Thinking of this, Tang Yixian who was wise and resourceful in former days suffered unspeakably. ¡°Your Excellency, look, what is this?¡± Tang Yixian had yet to reach far away and Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes walked over and handed over a piece of black arm guard he picked up from the ground to Ye Chuan. This thing appeared to be a swarthy piece of an ordinary item which no one would pick up even if it was thrown on the ground, but it had an extraordinary aura. After self-detonating, the storage ring of Extinction Taoist had also exploded with him, leaven behind only this thing. ¡°Well, this is¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself without speaking. He carefully looked for a while, but he unexpectedly was also unable to see through the profoundness of this arm guard. However, Cyan Lotus Lamp within his body became burning hot. This showed that this was not a simple treasure. A low bugle call resounded, and the reinforcement of Da Qin Dynasty coordinated with each other from afar. Torches were lit up everywhere. In the dead of the night, they didn¡¯t know how many troops had come and they could indistinctly see that they were trying to surround the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°Leave, return to Cloud Mist Sect!¡± Ye Chuan put away that strange arm guard and quickly left with everyone. It was a pity that he was unable to kill Li Guang Han tonight. However, Extinction Taoist was forced to self-detonate. Killing this powerful expert was an unexpected harvest. And the harvest of tonight was far better than destroying a fortress. This was the first appearance of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, and they achieved an amazing result in this battle! Yao beast legion and the elites of Cloud Mist Sect that had attacked ferociously retreated as quickly as they had come, disappearing in the dark night. When the reinforcement of Da Qin Dynasty assembled, the troops of Cloud Mist Sect had disappeared long ago. They had even taken away the corpses of their fellow disciples. Under the protection of soldiers, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han returned to the battlefield. And seeing open and spacious wilderness, his complexion became ghastly pale and ferocious. ¡°Guards, kill all the defending troops inside the stronghold at the summit for me! Then, take this bloodletter to the capital as fast as possible and give it to His Majesty!¡± Li Guang Han bit his finger and wrote a letter with his own blood. The words in this blood letter were simple, ¡®The enemy is ferocious, Extinction Taoist is already dead, and this incompetent son lost an arm, this son begs father emperor to punish!¡¯ Li Guang Han was ready to risk everything. He could no longer attend to beat around the bush. Regardless of the danger of losing the title of Da Qin Crown Prince as a punishment, he personally wrote a bloodletter to ask for help. Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows of Cloud Mist Sect were ferocious. Even Extinction Taoist died. Now, although the main force still existed, their morale had already plunged down after this war, moreover, without a peak expert to command, it was impractical to attack Cloud Mist Sect. His only hope was after asking for help forsaking all misgivings, his father emperor would dispatch a large number of experts to crush Cloud Mist Sect! After writing a simple letter, Li Guang Han swayed and vomited a mouthful of blood then collapsed to the ground. This time, he had barely escaped with life, but he had suffered severe injuries. In addition to serious injuries, he lost an arm, and the arrows of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows had pierced his body everywhere, dyeing his war robe red; his spirit had also suffered serious damage. Originally, he was ambitious enough to destroy Cloud Mist Sect within three months, the result, he was slapped in his face. ¡°Your Highness, Your Highness¡­¡­¡± The soldiers rushed over and hastily returned to the main camp of Pingyuan ancient town. And a messenger quickly rushed towards the capital to deliver the bloodletter. Late at night after three days, this bloodletter was placed in front of Da Qin King at the capital. This emperor who dominated the secular world of Heavenly Fire Continent flew into a rage. With one command, his bodyguards beat the war drum, urgently summoning civil and military officials. In the capital which was shrouded under the curtain of night, all high-ranking ministers hastily rushed towards the imperial palace. Some were sitting on the carriage, some were riding the quick horse, and some were directly stepping on the flying sword flying towards the imperial palace. Beating the war drum in the middle of the night to summon officials, this had happened only twice in the history of Da Qin Dynasty. The first time was when the previous Da Qin King passed away, and the whole nation was mourning; the second time was when the northern barbarian race suddenly invaded and killed 800,000 soldiers in the north. At that time, Da Qin King had urgently summoned all officials and had mobilized huge war machines to meet enemy head-on. This was the third time, why? Did something happen to Da Qin King? Or, did barbarian race suddenly invade again? All officials hastily rush towards the imperial palace feeling ill at ease, since they didn¡¯t know what had happened. Soon, civil and military officials gathered together in Qin Wang Hall all at once. ¡°Your Majesty, to beat the war drum to gather everyone so late at night, I wonder what happened.¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng took the lead to stand up and ask. The atmosphere of this hall was very heavy. The officials just looked at each other not daring to utter a word. At this moment, only Jiang Tunsheng, this State Teacher, dared to stand out and speak. ¡°Look yourself!¡± Da Qin King threw the bloodletter to the ground. And seeing the words in this letter, the expression of everyone changed. Who was Extinction Taoist? He could be counted as one of the very best experts of the imperial palace, was the trusted subordinate of Da Qin King. Even he had died, how fierce was this Ye Chuan? ¡°State Teacher, go to the southern border in person and destroy Cloud Mist Sect for me. Can it be that everywhere under the sun isn¡¯t this King¡¯s land? Can it be that this King¡¯s words are worthless? Just a small Cloud Mist Sect also dared to rebel, humph!¡± Da Qin King threw down an imperial order in a great rage, then turning around, he stormed off in a huff. Behind, the heart of all officials shook. Thinking back, it had already been close to ten years since State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng had taken half a step outside the capital. According to the rumor, he had already stepped into Half Sage realm, moreover, he could break through to Sage realm at any time and fly to the world beyond the highest heaven breaking the void. Last time, when he personally made a move, he single-handedly broke into the camp of barbarian race, and killed hundreds of commanders of barbarian race in a span of a single night, forcing them to retreat. This time, State Teacher was about to make a move in person again, this was definitely a heaven shaking matter. If he was making a move to deal with Heavenly Yao Sect, then that was fine, but making a move to deal with a small Cloud Mist Sect, wasn¡¯t that a bit overkill? Chapter 334: Storm right around the corner Chapter 334: Storm right around the corner Returning to Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan entered seclusion once again. Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes took a break of two days, then began to attack again. Da Qin army continued to press forward, but their speed was clearly much slower. Especially at night, even before it got dark, the soldiers would tightly shut the gate of the fortress and didn¡¯t dare to come out. Under the leadership of Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, Cloud Mist Sect made a diversion and frequently attacked the fortress located in the middle. In the beginning, the results were pretty good. They were able to kill elites of Da Qin Dynasty of many fortresses. But slowly, perhaps, they feared to receive heavy causalities, the number of soldiers that were left to defend the strongholds became fewer and fewer. From original 3000 soldiers, it was reduced to 800, moreover, the majority of them were the old, weak, sick and disabled. Sometimes, seeing even the shadow of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples, guarding soldiers would open the door and surrender without any resistance. For half a month in succession, Cloud Mist Sect achieved victories. They destroyed all strongholds that were built by Da Qin Dynasty using great effort. Just the number of prisoners had nearly reached 10,000. Moreover, they had reached the mountain near Pingyuan ancient town, threatening the main camp of Da Qin Dynasty. On several occasions, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect holding Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows chased and killed the patrolling party of Da Qin Dynasty to their camp¡¯s entrance. The disciples were in high spirits, and Fatty Zhao Dazhi was boasting even more. Being able to defeat enemies in succession, all were overjoyed. Now, in this period of time, Da Qin army was feeling pressure from Cloud Mist Sect. On the surface, no one spoke, but they were weighed down with anxieties in their heart. It was fine now, but if this continues, then they would have no choice but to retreat completely. When everybody was in high spirits, Zhu Sijia nevertheless was worried in her heart. Finally, one night, she dragged along Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes and knocked on the bedroom door of Ye Chuan. Inside, Ye Chuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. His breathing was long-drawn-out and was completely still. He seemed to have fallen asleep and also appeared as if he was making a spiritual tour. In the air, there was a delicate fragrance. It was very thin, but made people feel comfortable when inhaled. On the small wooden table beside the bed, a charcoal was burning in a small furnace, and that arm guard brought back from the battlefield was being roasted above the charcoal, and a mist was curling upward from it. ¡°Eh, Your Excellency, isn¡¯t this¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was startled as he looked at the arm guard being roasted. He could understand throwing a treasure into a furnace to refine, but who would roast it with charcoal? ¡°Rhodes, you are not mistaken, this is the same arm guard you picked up.¡± Ye Chuan slowly opened his eyes and indifferently said, ¡°Actually, strictly speaking, this is not an arm guard, rather a piece of Jade Incense. Legends say that all things have origins, humans have ancestors, dragons have ancestral dragons and trees also has ancestral trees. This Jade Incense is formed after the agar flowed down from the ancestral tree condenses. A drop of it can linger for eternity, can foster solid foundation, soothe the soul and remove heart demon.¡± After contemplating for more than half a month, Ye Chuan was finally able to see through the true colors of this arm guard and understood what this was. This was a Jade Incense, it couldn¡¯t be counted as a treasure, but it is hard to come by compared to the majority of big killing weapons. Just roasting this Jade Incense and meditating for half a month in its delicate fragrance, the temperament of Ye Chuan appeared different to some extent, and another one qi cyclone appeared within his body, showing the sign of condensing new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. Furthermore, he also showed a sign of breaking through to Rank 3 Daoist Master realm. A Heaven Swallowing Talisman would increase his strength by 18,000 jin. This time, what kind of Heaven Swallowing Talisman would he condense? Ye Chuan was full of expectation for his next breakthrough. ¡°Ancestral tree? It seemed¡­¡­, it seemed that there was such a thing in Five Fingered Buddhist Cave, but much bigger than this. According to the rumor, it had already cultivated enough to take shape, people called it something Incense Queen¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin said as he frowned, remembering his long-standing memory. ¡°Jade Incense that has cultivated enough to become humanoid?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly stood up, ¡°Rhodes, are you sure? Is there such a good thing in Five Fingered Buddhist Cave?¡± ¡°Your Excellency, this¡­¡­, that was merely a rumor. I have not seen with my own eyes. Besides, it has already been too long, and I cannot recall many details.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin replied as he smiled in embarrassment. In Wilderness World, he was an old evil spirit that could summon wind and rain and his innate skill Violent Dance of Vine Demon was also very powerful. He was the one man army. But, in Five Fingered Buddhist Cave, he was truly nothing. The Jade Incense that was able to cultivate to Incense Queen in Five Fingered Buddhist Cave was naturally a heaven-defying evil spirit. She was not someone he, this small demon, could make a contact with. ¡°Five Fingered Buddhist Cave, Incense Queen¡­..¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and the thoughts of exploring Five Fingered Buddhist Cave became even stronger. As soon as he discovered the pathway leading to Five Fingered Buddhist Cave in Five Fingered Mount Yin, he that the thoughts to explore it. But, even Old Demon of Mount Yin didn¡¯t dare to be conceited and arrogant and called that he was just a small demon inside, moreover, even with his cultivation, he said that he would not be enough to even fill the teeth of the evil spirits inside, so if he wanted to explore it, then even if he hadn¡¯t reached his peak of previous life when he was able to conceal the heaven, he should at least reach Half-Sage realm. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, the current situation appears somewhat wrong.¡± Zhu Sijia interrupted the thoughts of Ye Chuan and reported the recent situation, ¡°In this time period, we have achieved victories in succession and have reached outside the main camp of Da Qin Dynasty. Almost all strongholds had been destroyed and nearly 10,000 people are captured. Now the fellow disciples are in high spirits, but I feel something was wrong. It has been too smooth these days. Even if they fear our Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows and yao beast legion, the resistance of Da Qin Dynasty is too weak.¡± ¡°Jiajia, you mean to say that there is a plot.¡± Ye Chuan solemnly said. After such miserable defeat, under normal circumstance, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han should have taken a major step to attack after retreating to the main camp. But now, not speaking about biding his time, he was watching the destruction of strongholds which they had built with great difficulty without any decent resistance. This naturally was not normal. ¡°Yes, there must be a plot. Either it was bad to move or is waiting for a strong reinforcement.¡± Zhu Sijia replied. As for Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, as long as he could kill, he didn¡¯t care anything else, but she was weighted down with anxieties. ¡°Did Tang Yixian send any news?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°That old fellow has been communicating secretly, but he had not provided any useful information. Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I doubt that he is either exposed or even he doesn¡¯t know. Li Guang Han is hiding the truth from everyone. Currently, they are not making a move, but when they make a move, I fear that would be like a thunderstorm.¡± Zhu Sijia was tense and her heart was shrouded with heavy dust haze. ¡°Let¡¯s go to Cloud Mist Peak and take a look!¡± Ye Chuan flew away, and landed on the highest peak of Cloud Mist Sect, then he looked down. At the high altitude, dark clouds shrouded, cold wind blew and dim light of moon illuminated the horizon. Standing at this peak, one felt as if the dark cloud above was pressing them down and a heavy storm was right around the corner. Chapter 335: The might of State Teacher Chapter 335: The might of State Teacher On a dark night, Ye Chuan led Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin to the highest peak. There, occupying the commanding position, he overlooked Cloud Mist Sect and the vast mainland. Now, these two people were his most competent left and right arms of Ye Chuan. One commanded the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and the other commanded yao beast legion. This was the army that would sweep across the Wilderness World at the fledgling stage. But, at this moment, this new army was facing a severe test. Either be annihilate under the coercion of Da Qin Dynasty or counterattack to forcibly rise abruptly, what will be the end result? At this moment, even Ye Chuan was not confident enough. After the death of Extinction Taoist, if Li Guang Han had commanded the main army to take a major step, then that would be fine. He would have avoided direct confrontation for the time being and lead enemies deeper while often confronting the tough with toughness. But, now that Li Guang Han unexpectedly bade his time, even shrinking his lines of defense, withdrawing his shoulders and letting them destroy their all strongholds, this was not good. He didn¡¯t know what kind of scheme he was plotting. It was easier to avoid open attacks, but harder to guard against hidden ones, it was like that ever since ancient times. ¡°Jiajia, if you were the commander of Da Qin army, then how would you have attacked?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly asked Zhu Sijia. ¡°I would have done just like Extinction Taoist, advance gradually and entrench myself at every step, build strongholds while pressing on towards the entrance of our Cloud Mist Sect, then attack violently amassing all power.¡± Zhu Sijia replied and paused for a bit, then continued, ¡°Naturally, in this process, dispatch experts to guard every stronghold and simultaneously dispatch elites, especially to take charge of rescuing. They will be responsible to immediately rush to the scene whichever stronghold is in danger.¡± Zhu Sijia replied without any hesitation, use defense as a means of offense, ¡®steady¡¯ was focused. This strategy was conforming to the norms of society. ¡°Rhodes, what about you?¡± Ye Chuan asked Old Demon of Mount Yin. ¡°Kakaka, very simple, kill! Meet one, kill one, meet two, kill two, no matter how big the price, it doesn¡¯t matter. In any case, Da Qin Dynasty has plenty of people and sufficient military strength, but our Cloud Mist Sect couldn¡¯t afford such losses.¡± The killing aura of Old Demon of Mount Yin was awe-inspiring. His strategy just happened to be completely opposite to the strategy of Zhu Sijia. One concentrated on ¡®steady¡¯ to advance gradually and entrench oneself at every step to occupy the area and press down the sphere of influence of Cloud Mist Sect; while the other wanted to massacre thousands of li. Both strategies, no matter which, were very detrimental for Cloud Mist Sect. Ye Chuan shook his head and didn¡¯t speak again. Then, watching the boundless land enveloped by darkness, he fell into silence. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, if you were the commander, how would you have attacked?¡± Zhu Sijia asked being curious in her heart. ¡°Jiajia, your opinion is pretty good, consolidating at every step while pressing on towards our entrance, this can fully demonstrate the superiority of the military strength. The idea of Rhodes is also pretty good, our Cloud Mist Sect cannot afford to pay such price. Merely, there is a shortcoming in your plans. That shortcoming is it will take a long time. There might be a stalemate for three months, six months or even a year.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s tone was low as he pointed out the shortcoming in the plan of both Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin. Then, he closed his mouth and fell into silence while looking at the boundless land below. If he was the commander, then how would he attack? This problem, Ye Chuan was already thinking before Zhu Sijia had asked. Carefully looking at the overall situation of this warfare, speaking in a minor way, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was avenging personal wrongs in the name of the public interest, but, speaking in a major way, this was Da Qin King showing his national power to the cultivating sects and declaring a war to formally dip a finger in the cultivating sects. If this was the essence of this war, then Da Qin Dynasty must win and it must also be quick and overwhelming. If this war became a protracted war, then this war would lose its significance. Then, a problem has cropped, Li Guang Han was severely injured, the morale of the army was low, moreover, Extinction Taoist, this expert of the imperial palace, had also died, so now, how can they attack to end this war quickly? Strong reinforcement, Li Guang Han must be waiting for a powerful reinforcement. Only for this reason, he would shrink his line of defense! The reinforcement of this time must be an expert who was powerful enough to threaten Cloud Mist Sect. Da Qin Dynasty couldn¡¯t afford to lose the first battle and since it was already impossible to again build strongholds to advance step by step, they definitely must have a way to quickly transfer the soldiers to the depth of the mountain and directly attack Cloud Mist Sect. Transfer Formation! Ye Chuan suddenly saw the light as he had a thought. Secretly building a temporary transfer formation and dispatch main force directly to the interior of the enemy troops, then attack violently to win this war in one fell swoop. Ye Chuan had used such means in his previous life when he concealed the heaven to suppress the rival warlords under the heaven. He was most familiar with this means. In this life, since he had started cultivation from the scratch, his cultivation base wasn¡¯t strong enough to use this kind of means. Moreover, average sects couldn¡¯t afford to do so, but what about Da Qin Dynasty? Da Qin Dynasty that wanted to unify secular world and cultivation sects, would it not have such means? Would it not have one or two heaven-defying great experts? The limbs of Ye Chuan suddenly became ice-cold. Now, he knew what Da Qin Dynasty wanted to do. Just killing Extinction Taoist wasn¡¯t the end of this war, rather was just the true beginning! Extinction Taoist was already powerful enough, he was a peak Daoist Master realm expert that could be counted as one of the very best. Now, this time, does Da Qin King want to dispatch even more powerful expert? Was it Half-Sage realm expert or near extinct Sage realm expert? ¡°Jiajia, Rhodes, immediately expand the range of the patrol to 100 li, also add troops and strictly check secret abyss, valleys and dense forest. If they find any sign of the construction of transfer formation, then destroy it immediately.¡± Ye Chuan urgently gave orders. He was sure of his deduction. Transfer formation? Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin were shocked, but they immediately turned around to pass down the orders. However, before they could walk away, a few figures rushed towards them from far away. And Fatty Zaho Dazhi¡¯s voice could be heard, ¡°Not good, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, not good¡­¡­¡± After getting closer, Ye Chuan could see fatty and behind him was an unexpected person. He was none other than middle-aged advisor Tang Yixian. The heart of Ye Chuan thumped. He knew that something was not good. After Tang Yixian swallowed a pill, he had become the pawn of Cloud Mist Sect that spied on the camp of Da Qin Dynasty. He was very cautious even when leaking the news, but now, how come he suddenly rush over here? ¡°Your Excellency, not good, State¡­¡­, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng has come.¡± Tang Yixian staggered and nearly fell to the ground. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng? Jiang Tunsheng was Half-Sage realm expert who was equally famous as Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s White Haired Heavenly Empress that could break through to Sage realm at any time. The heart of Ye Chuan shook and grabbing Tang Yixian who was about to fall down, he asked, ¡°Tang Yixian, when did this happen? How long has it been since State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng has arrived?¡± ¡°Five days, at least five days have passed, but I also just got the news.¡± Tang Yixian¡¯s heart trembled and he didn¡¯t dare to look directly at Ye Chuan for fear that the latter will kill him in a rage. Honestly speaking, he truly wasn¡¯t to be blamed. This time, Li Guang Han had unexpectedly concealed the matter of the arrival of State Teacher from everyone. Only when the main force was set in motion, Tang Yixian accidentally heard this news, and being unable to quietly leak this news, he had to come over overnight to report hastily in person. Five days, it has already been five days, wasn¡¯t it sufficient for doing many things? Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia and others were shocked in their heart. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what should we do now? Continue to enlarge the patrolling area?¡± Zhu Sijia asked with a strained expression. ¡°It¡¯s already too late.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. The cultivation of Tang Yixian was average at best. It should have taken a lot of time for him to rush over here. That time should be enough for Da Qin Dynasty to mobilize their army. A dazzling red light suddenly shone all around Cloud Mist Sect. In the middle of the night, along with the appearance of the transfer formation, military forces quickly appeared with torches in their hand. Soon, those torches surrounded the entire Cloud Mist Sect. Sect Teacher Jiang Tunsheng hadn¡¯t showed up yet, but he had used a great technique to lay down transfer formations around Cloud Mist Sect without anybody knowing, and suddenly transferring the army, he besieged Cloud Mist Sect! Chapter 336: Fall of the entrance gate Chapter 336: Fall of the entrance gate A big battle broke out suddenly. Without negotiation and without the appearance of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, the army of Da Qin Dynasty attacked ferociously. The same 200,000 soldiers, under the leadership of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, they were as fearful as a flock of little sheep, but under the leadership of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, they were ferocious like wolves or tigers. Ye Chuan sat on Cloud Mist Peak and personally directed the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and yao beast legion to fight. But, the bad news came nonstop. The patrolling party outside was the first to lose contact, which clearly was fraught with grim possibilities. The sentry posts and lookout towers at the foot of the mountain were also destroyed after a little while and the army of Da Qin Dynasty quickly pressed on to the entrance gate. Then, a bloody battle started. Groups after groups of Da Qin soldiers bravely throw themselves into the death traps and disciples spared no effort to defend the entrance gate not fearing death. And Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows continuously shot arrows. Rows after rows of soldiers fell under the bombardment of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows. Even Daoist realm experts couldn¡¯t withstand the bombardment of these flying crossbows let alone these ordinary soldiers. With hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows gathered together, their might was powerful enough to make one bristle with anger. The experts of the imperial palace mixed in the midst of soldiers wanted to launch a surprise attack taking advantage of this confusion, the result, all of them fell without exception. These flying crossbows brought by Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia were powerful, but other than launching only three arrows at a time, there was another fatal flaw, which was they needed a large amount of vitality to use. Ordinary disciples were unable to last long. After several rounds of attack, they felt aching and limp, so they must continuously take turns. The soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty quickly noticed this, and taking advantage of the time when the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were taking turns, they violently attacked, nearly seizing the entrance gate quite a few times. Around the small entrance gate, an intense battle occurred. Da Qin Dynasty suffered heavy casualties, one group after another group of soldiers fell, but the casualties of Cloud Misty Sect also wasn¡¯t small. No need to speak about the violent attack of ordinary soldiers, but there were many experts mixed among the soldiers. Obviously, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng not only came in person, he had brought many experts with him. A slight carelessness and Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows in the hands of disciples would be snatched by them. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, activate the restriction, if the restriction isn¡¯t activated, then the disciples will not be able to guard any longer.¡± At Cloud Mist Peak, Zhu Sijia said looking at the fierce battle at the entrance gate. According to the order of Ye Chuan, only disciples of Cloud Mist Sect met the enemy head-on and other than the most basic entrance gate restriction, all other restrictions were not activated. Old Demon of Mount Yin as well as yao beast legion under his command had yet to take action. Since the offense of Da Qin Dynasty was so fierce, the disciples will not be able to last long. ¡°Wait a bit more, don¡¯t guard if they are unable to guard.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently instructed. After a brief shock, he calmed down. Since State Teacher had come in person, this war had become much more dangerous and it had become harder to defend. If they continued to defend, then he didn¡¯t know how big of a price they should pay and the loss would outweigh the gain. To win this battle, he had to take risks. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you are saying to give up entrance gate to attract enemies deep inside, wouldn¡¯t that¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia was greatly shocked. Fatty, Flame Devil, Little Long¡¯er and other standing behind him were also in the similar state. Giving up the entrance gate meant that the army of Da Qin Dynasty will swarm in and flood all peaks and ancient palaces of Cloud Mist Sect with blood. ¡°Just an entrance gate, lost then lost, even abandoning the entire sect is also fine, as long as people are alive, there is a hope, but if people are dead, then the sect would be thoroughly finished.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said and he was calm or even ice-cold, coldly looking at this situation without any emotion fluctuation. Then, he coldly ordered, ¡°Jiajia, pass down my order, all old, weak, sick and disabled are to be transferred to Cloud Mist Peak and Heavenly Dragon Peak, and bring Second Elder at Cloud Mist Hall. If they are unable to guard the entrance gate, then don¡¯t guard, let the people of Da Qin Dynasty come in. All said that the State Teacher of Da Qin Dynasty possesses unfathomable power, I want to see what kind of capability he has!¡± Ye Chuan was calm outside but a dense killing intent was soaring inside his heart. Compared to Extinction Taoist, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was many times more powerful, but he forced Cloud Mist Sect to give up entrance gate without showing up himself. But, if he thought that he could bully Ye Chuan like this, then he was wrong. Even if he had to give up the entire Cloud Mist Sect, he would make State Teacher Jiang Tunseng pay a heavy price. Even if he couldn¡¯t kill him, he could at least kill this army of 200,000! ¡°Okay!¡± Zhu Sijia hesitated for a while and gritting her teeth, she accepted the command. Even though she was a female disciple, she was more decisive than most of the male disciples. She passed down orders as she prepared to risk everything with Ye Chuan, staking the entire Cloud Mist Sect. Win, they would be able to force Da Qin Dynasty to retreat, lose, they would lose everything! The orders were quickly conveyed and the disciples became busy. All the important things were transferred to Cloud Mist Peak and Heavenly Dragon Peak beside Evil Dragon Abyss. As for the things they couldn¡¯t take away, they buried them on the spot or even directly burned them down. They would rather burn them down than giving them to Da Qin Dynasty. Zhu Sijia also became daring. On one hand, the situation forced her as she knew that they were unable to defend; and on the other hand, she was confident with Ye Chuan. ¡°Your Excellency, the entrance gate is abandoned, but why do you still want to guard that Heavenly Dragon Peak?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin asked. He was confused, would it be better to concentrate all forces to defend only Cloud Mist Peak? ¡°That place is the place where dragons prosper, it is our route of retreat. Moreover, Heavenly Dragon Tree and Mist Bamboo, these worldly treasures, grows there. We cannot abandon it unless as a last resort.¡± Ye Chuan replied and paused for a bit then said, ¡°Rhodes, quickly lead your yao beast legion and enter the battle. Remember, entrance gate can be abandoned, all peaks and palaces also can be abandoned, no need to defend them to the death, keeping as many people as possible alive is the most important. Try every any means to kill intruding soldiers, and delay their advance.¡± Ye Chuan stood up and burning Jade Incense, a fragrance curled up and he used a technique. Rumble, the earth shook and a mist gradually appeared from under the ground and gradually enveloped Cloud Mist Sect. Then, an aura of suppression slowly spread all over. Heaven Concealing Great Formation! Ye Chuan finally activated Heaven Concealing Great Formation that terrified countless Sage realm experts in his previous lifetime. Activating it, nearly half of his entire energy was consumed along with a lot of vitality. ¡°Cloud Mist Sect cannot endure, kill!¡± ¡°State Teacher has ordered, raid Cloud Mist Sect, capture great devil Ye Chuan alive!¡± Da Qin soldiers shouted loudly and under the leadership of the experts of imperial palace and different level commanders, they bravely charged into the death trap. Bang, don¡¯t know who took the lead to chop off the fallen entrance gate of Cloud Mist Sect, but the vast and mighty army swarmed in. As for the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, they hastily retreated and dispersed all around in confusion, disappearing into the dense forest of mountain peaks. After paying a heavy price, they finally captured the entrance gate of Cloud Mist Sect. This hard-won victory made soldiers cheer loudly and began chasing the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. The huge army also scattered, wanting to seize every peaks and palaces of Cloud Mist Sect. An ancient sect that had the inheritance of millions of years, it should have countless cultivation techniques and countless treasures. The eyes of soldiers became bright red. Even the experts of the imperial palace that were mixed among the soldiers were also the same. Although Cloud Mist Sect had declined to the third-rate sect, it had the inheritance of millions of years which however was older than Heavenly Yao Sect. After attacking Cloud Mist Sect, they wondered how many priceless treasures they would obtain! Even without the command of all levels of commanders, the soldiers rushed while contending with each other. Everyone was rushing to massacre and plunder. Chapter 337: Yao Beast Battle Formation Chapter 337: Yao Beast Battle Formation The soldiers were eager to fight while dreaming about obtaining numerous treasures and return with a good result, but soon, the cruel facts shattered their good dreams. The dark mist that covered Cloud Mist Sect became denser and denser. Next, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect they were chasing disappeared without a trace. At this moment, looking around, they discovered that they were surrounded by dense mist and realize that they had lost their way. Immediately afterward, they suffered ferocious ambush. Countless vines shot out from the midst of dense mist. They bound the soldiers¡¯ hands and legs, strangle their throat and penetrate their body. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes finally attacked. Under the cover of Heaven Concealing Great Formation, he initiated a ferocious attack. Every wave of attack caused large numbers of soldiers to fall. After going deep into Cloud Mist Sect, the soldiers discovered that everything was anything but reassuring. No need to mention that the sky was filled with dense mist, there furthermore was an obscure energy fluctuation that made the heart of people tremble and their movement become slow. Moreover, the energy within their body also become chaotic and they were unable to display even half of their full strength. They felt as if a mountain was weighing down on them and this made people grasp for breath. The nearer they were to Cloud Mist Peak, the stronger this feeling. The might of Heaven Concealing Great Formation gradually emerged. Ye Chuan had only stressed on the word ¡®pressure¡¯ of Heaven Concealing Great Formation which just suppressed the energy within the body of enemies. Furthermore, there were also other even more powerful words like ¡®chaos¡¯, ¡®kill¡¯ and so on he was unable to display. Now, his cultivation base was limited, so he was far from being able to display the true might of this Heaven Concealing Great Formation, but it was still enough to make soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty complain incessantly. The soldiers that were isolated deep into enemy territory were lost and were in danger. Under Heaven Concealing Great Formation, it was difficult to progress. Outside, even more soldiers were still pouring inside the sect, dreaming to flatten Cloud Mist Sect and snatch large numbers of treasures. Heaven Concealing Great Formation was not only very dangerous to soldiers, it also severed their communication, so every group that intruded into Cloud Mist Sect were practically on their own. Some soldiers were unable to reach far before they suffered the surprise attack of countless vines and got submerged into vines in an instant; some suddenly fell into holes covered with a thin layer of soil and leaves while walking, these were pitfalls dug by pangolins. The bottom of these holes were filled with sharp blades with hypertoxic smeared on them, so they instantly lost their life; Some escaped the attack of countless vines and also didn¡¯t fall into a pitfall by fluke, but a group of golden eagles suddenly dived from the sky, and before they could react, the sharp claws of those eagles would dig out the eyes of many soldiers. In this situation, one could well imagine the end fate of a person who lost his eyes. After Da Qin Dynasty ferociously attacked the gate, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had retreated and Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes along with yao beast legion under his command had begun to display their power. As for the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, after resting and reorganization for a while, they began to attack again under the leadership of Zhi Sijia. They worked in coordination with yao beast legion to inflict greater damage to Da Qin Dynasty. The combination of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows and yao beasts that appeared and disappeared mysteriously was an absolute nightmare for any opponent. A dense smell of blood spread far and wide. Cloud Mist Sect enveloped in dense mist became a huge meat mincer and also became a graveyard for many soldiers. A huge banner suddenly appeared outside the gate of the sect. Swaying it left and right, a strong wind blew over and the dense mist of Cloud Mist Sect slowly dispersed, revealing numerous peaks and 108 towering energy towers of Heaven Concealing Great Formation. Soldiers quickly rushed towards those energy towers, wanting to break Ye Chuan¡¯s Heaven Concealing Great Formation. At Cloud Mist Peak, the complexion of Ye Chuan became pale and it became difficult to maintain Heaven Concealing Great Formation even when he hastily used a technique. The dense mist gradually dispersed and even those towering energy towers swayed as if they were about to be blown off by this strong wind. Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner! State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng suddenly made a move. He wanted to break Heaven Concealing Great Formation of Ye Chuan in one fell swoop. Without this powerful restriction, the fighting capability of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and yao beast legion would fall sharply, and they will not be able to stop these shoulders of Da Qin Dynasty. ¡°Defend energy towers, Flame Devil, Na Gusi, go!¡± Ye Chuan gave orders as a blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth. This was the backlash of forcibly maintaining Heaven Concealing Great Formation. If he continued, he might suffer even more terrifying backlash. With Half-Sage realm State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng making a move, Ye Chuan felt great pressure. In his past life, a Half-Sage realm expert was not even worth mentioning to him. He could easily crush them to death with his finger, but now, since his cultivation base was only trivial Rank 2 Daoist Master realm, a Half-Sage realm expert was a huge mountain! On the battlefield, Old Demon of Mount Yin was also keenly aware of the main force of the enemy, so he quickly led yao beast legion to intercept. Now, a battle for energy towers suddenly broke out, and this was even fiercer than the battle for sect gate. Outside the sect, Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner continued to sway and strong wind continued to blow. As for Ye Chuan, he crazily circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body to contend against this force. Now, the energy towers were completely visible in the midst of dense mist, if they were destroyed, then the Heaven Concealing Great Formation of Ye Chuan might disperse, no longer protecting the sect; With these 108 energy towers intact, those soldiers that had intruded Cloud Mist Sect would have to pay a heavy price. Ye Chuan and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng were fighting even though they were far away from each other and the soldiers of both sides also fought desperately. When both sides were locked in a stalemate, a hint of red light suddenly shone into the eyes of Ye Chuan. That was a group of warriors wearing fiery red battle armor. Every one of them was later stage Daoist Master realm expert. There were a dozen or so of them and they gathered together to attack a tower. Defending disciples of Cloud Mist Sect desperately counterattacked but they were unable to stop them. Zhu Sijia quickly led a flying crossbow squad, but even the arrows of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows were unexpectedly useless against their fiery red battle armor; Old Demon of Mount Yin also rushed over, unfortunately, yao beast legion was also similarly unable to stop them, moreover, his vines were also unable to penetrate through their fiery red battle armors. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng used another trump card. After learning about the impressive might of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, he especially brought a dozen or so iron blooded Da Qin battle armors from the capital and just like Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner, they were also big killing weapons refined by Da Qin King and other great experts. Ordinary attacks were basically useless against them! Along with a rumbling sound, an energy tower collapsed and the surrounding dense mist quickly dissipated revealing a large piece of land. In Cloud Mist Peak, Ye Chuan opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood. Each energy tower was closely linked with Heaven Concealing Great Formation, moreover, also liked to his body. Destroying an energy tower was equivalent to cutting him with a sword! ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan¡­¡­¡± Little Long¡¯er rushed over to support Ye Chuan. He was confused in his heart and didn¡¯t know what he should do. Zhu Sijia, Flame Devil and others had already left, now, he was the only one beside Ye Chuan. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, go, bring big sister Hai Lili here.¡± Ye Chuan commanded and flew towards that group of experts wearing Iron Blooded Da Qin Battle Armor. Now, it was time to take action in person. Retreating from Cloud Mist Sect was the last resort, he had to persist as much as possible. Otherwise, all the previous efforts would go to waste, in addition, Ye Chuan had a hope. He hoped to persist until cyan robed Seventh Elder Meng Qi take action. He was the only person until now within Cloud Mist Sect whose cultivation he was unable to see through. If cyan robed Seventh Elder Meng Qi took action, he might be able to force State Teacher to retreat. Chapter 338: The intention of State Teacher Chapter 338: The intention of State Teacher Before Da Qin Dynasty destroyed the second energy tower, Ye Chuan flew to the scene, then along with the flashing of cyan light, 12 human-faced snakes appeared, surrounding the group of experts wearing fiery red Iron Blooded Da Qin War Armor. Then, a cyan light flashed again and Six Winged Golden Cicada and puppet doll Hei Kui also appeared. At that time, Flame Devil, Horned Demon Na Gusi and Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes also rushed over, joining the ranks of the siege. As for the task of stopping the main army, it was handed over to Zhu Sijia alone. The energy fluctuation within the body of Ye Chuan steadily rose. Although he was already exhausted, he continued to insanely circulate Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, preparing a deadly attack. Although the army of Da Qin Dynasty was big, the real threat was these 13 experts wearing Iron Blooded Da Qin War Armor in front of him. Getting rid of these 13 experts will be equivalent to cutting off an arm of State teacher Jiang Tunsheng and they will be able to continue using Heaven Concealing Great Formation to contend against the invasion of Da Qin Dynasty. ¡°Kill!¡± The leader commanded and resolutely led remaining 12 experts to break out of this encirclement. Ye Chuan took the initiative to rush forward and punched to intercept the leader. The eyes of the latter flashed with pallid light and he also similarly punched out. But just the moment before the two fists collided, Ye Chuan suddenly turned sideways and let the other party¡¯s powerful punch land on his shoulder. As for his ferocious punch, it landed squarely on the other party¡¯s chest. Since the situation was critical, Ye Chuan was not satisfied with only the collision of fists. He completely resorted to the style of life for life. The leader of this group was clearly caught unprepared. He let out a muffled groan and retreated a few steps, then vomited a mouthful of blood. On his fiery red Iron Blooded Da Qin War Armor which Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows were unable to penetrate, a clear fist mark appeared on the chest area. Compared to Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, the fist of Ye Chuan was even more powerful and the strength was violent and fierce. With the eruption of 126,000 jin strength, it was hard for this solid armor to stop his fist. ¡°Kill, kill these 13 fellows!¡± ¡°Kakaka, look at me!¡± Without the command of Ye Chuan, Flame Devil and others rushed up and fought with all their strength. Horned Demon Na Gusi roared and his body suddenly swelled, two cold and ghastly ox horns appeared on his forehead and he directly sent one fellow wearing Iron Blooded Da Qin War Armor flying; ten meters long flame appeared on the palm of Flame Devil and it bound one opponent; many human faced snakes swayed and surrounded and fought with strong enemies. As for Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, he laughed and unlike Flame Devil and others, he didn¡¯t fight alone, rather he suddenly flew over to Ye Chuan and fought with the enemy leader together with Ye Chuan. His laughter still reverberated through the sky and his right palm ferociously attacked the back of the formidable enemy leader and Ye Chuan also punched repeatedly. After being attacked from both front and rear, the enemy leader suffered heavy injuries. The Iron Blooded Da Qin War Armor on his body was cracked open and his internal organs were shaken and smashed by violent power. After that, he staggered and fell to the ground. But, when he was about to jump up again, he suddenly saw a puppet doll staring at him on the ground. This puppet doll had a smile on its face but had threatening killing intent. Needless to say, it was strange. Where did this puppet come from? The leader was confused and before he could react, a pallid light flashed before his eyes, then he couldn¡¯t see anything. And when he saw again, a series of fists landed on his head and his head exploded and he died. ¡°Your Excellency, next!¡± Hei Kui who possessed a puppet doll holding a bloody dagger looked for next target with a chilling smile. Seeing those cold eyes, even Old Demon of Mount Yin, this old evil spirit, was frightened. ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Chuan used his unparalleled style technique and suddenly appearing behind an expert wearing Iron Blooded Da Qin Battle Armor, he punched at his back. The latter was fighting against a human-faced snake, and the unexpected attack from Ye Chuan sent him flying. Old Demon of Mount Yin and the puppet doll Hei Kui also rushed over. The three joined force and quickly killed this fellow. After Ye Chuan made a move, the situation rapidly changed. This group of experts wearing Iron Blooded Da Qin Battle Armor that ran amuck in the battlefield quickly had a headache. The cultivation of Ye Chuan appeared to be not up to much, but his strength as fierce. The Iron Blooded Da Qin Battle Armor was barely able to withstand his ferocious punch, but their body inside wasn¡¯t able to endure. Not everyone had an unusually sturdy body like Ye Chuan. Soon, only seven were left among 13 experts under the violent attack of Ye Chuan and others and they were powerless to destroy the second energy tower. ¡°Run!¡± Seeing the situation was anything but reassuring, the seven people quickly gathered together and forcibly broke out of an encirclement. Everyone cooperated to attack violently, but they were unable to trap them for a moment. Flame Devil and others hesitated, but Ye Chuan took the initiative to chase. He wanted to take this opportunity to kill this group of formidable enemies. If he didn¡¯t kill them now, then they will mix with ordinary soldiers and stage a comeback and that would be troublesome. ¡°Chase!¡± ¡°Your Excellency, be careful!¡± Everybody simultaneously chased. Old Demon of Mount Yin was the first one to react. He quickly used his innate skill and countless vines suddenly appeared in the front to block the path of those 7 formidable enemies. Although these vines that frightened ordinary soldiers were unable to penetrate through their Iron Blooded Da Qin Battle Armor, countless vines could bound their four limbs, slowing down their speed or even block their field of vision. Sad and shrill screams resounded in succession. The remaining seven soldiers fell to the ground one by one. Now, Ye Chuan was covered in blood and had suffered unknown numbers of injuries, but he led everybody to pursue relentlessly. He spared no effort to kill all these enemies. After a little while, only one fellow was fleeing in confusion by any path in the front. ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Chuan roared and chased quickly. But when he was just about to punch, the fellow running for life in the front suddenly stopped. This fellow can¡¯t run, or¡­¡­ Ye Chuan had a thought and he suddenly stopped. He looked all around and discovered that he had unconsciously reached outside the gate chasing after this fellow. Not good, I fell into a trap, this fellow was a bait! The limbs of Ye Chuan turned cold and he quickly reacted as he felt a strong sense of danger. From the dark, the sound of applaud came. A middle-aged scholar walked out from the darkness while clapping. Behind, there was a large group of experts including Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. When he saw Ye Chuan, his eyes flashed with viciousness and he looked ferocious. Conversely, the middle-aged scholar who seemed to be the leader was fair and clear resembling a scholar rather than a cultivator. ¡°State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng?¡± Ye Chuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. ¡°Correct, I am Jiang Tunsheng.¡± The middle-aged scholar nodded his head and sized up Ye Chuan, then nodding his head in praise, he said, ¡°Pretty good, Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect truly is outstanding. Youngster, come with me to the imperial capital, I will guarantee your safety and personally request His Majesty to confer you the title of Dragon Tiger General, giving you the territory of 10000 li and also the command of 800,000 imperial guards to especially conquer various large sects for Da Qin Dynasty. How about it?¡± Unexpectedly, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng didn¡¯t make a killer move instead tried to recruit on the spot, promising a generous reward. The title of Dragon Tiger General, 1000 li territory, and taking the command of 800,000 most elite imperial guards, such position in Da Qin Dynasty might be only below Da Qin King alone, in the same position as State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng! Chapter 339: Ferocious State Teacher Chapter 339: Ferocious State Teacher ¡°State Teacher, this brat killed Extinction Taoist, made me lose half of my face, an arm and three fingers, that¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han became anxious. He had been waiting for such a long time to personally see how Ye Chuan dies. He wanted to see him being torn into pieces by State Teacher. But, in the end, if Ye Chuan was not only fine but also become the great general under Da Qin Dynasty, then he would truly vomit blood to death! ¡°Your Highness, what, do you have a different suggestion?¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng looked at Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. He appeared very respectful and courteous, but anxious and angry Li Guang Han sweated profusely. In Da Qin Dynasty, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was an absolute major figure. Even Da Qin King had to be polite to him, let alone him who was just a crown prince. Half-Sage realm State Teacher, one might not appear even once in thousand years, but there were many imperial princes and imperial grandsons. If worst comes to the worst, another prince could take up the position of a crown prince! ¡°No, I don¡¯t dare.¡± Li Guang Han shook his head. Although he didn¡¯t feel any pressure from State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, his heart was trembling nonstop and he didn¡¯t dare to disobey even a bit. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng smiled and turned to Ye Chuan and said, ¡°How about it, youngster, did you consider clearly? Agree with me and you can become an important general of my Da Qin Dynasty and have my Da Qin Dynasty¡¯s huge might support you. In the future, you can control all sects under the heaven and it will absolutely not be impossible for you to breakthrough to Sage realm. If you disagree, then this Cloud Mist Sect will be stamped out by my Da Qin Dynasty and the sect with the inheritance of millions of years extinguished, it¡¯s a pity.¡± Looking at Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s numerous peaks with dense spiritual qi, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng sighed with a pity. The fierce fighting stopped and all eyes remained on Ye Chuan. Since Ye Chuan was offered amnesty and great reward, now, they were looking to see whether Ye Chuan would choose this offer or choose to fight to the bitter end! ¡°The territory of 10,000 li is a bit lacking.¡± Ye Chuan replied. Contrary to the expectation of everyone, Ye Chuan neither refused nor agreed, rather haggled. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was somewhat surprised, but he said without batting his eyelid, ¡°How about the territory of 100,000 li? Or, this Cloud Mist Mountain Range along with surrounding three prefectures.¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng offered. He looked just like a learned scholar who didn¡¯t cultivate, but he boldly made an astonishing promise. Receiving Cloud Mist Mountain Range as well as surrounding three prefectures, Ye Chuan would become the Southern King not just in name only but also in reality, and he would immediately become the greatest subordinate King of Da Qin Dynasty. The title of important general might be false reputation, but the land was real. ¡°Still not enough.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. Many disciples of Cloud Mist Sect who insisted on fighting to death were tempted, but Ye Chuan continued to shake his head. ¡°On the behalf of His Majesty, I will give you the most beautiful Princess Qin as a spouse. Then, you will become the emperor¡¯s son-in-law, how about that?¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng continued to increase the chip. Li Guang Han who was standing behind looked unwell hearing this. Princess Qin was not only the most beautiful princess, moreover, was unrivaled in the four arts (zither, Go, calligraphy, painting), and even more importantly, she was the biological big sister of Li Guang Han. If Ye Chuan was to agree, then hereafter, let alone just speaking with a smile to his most hated enemy, wouldn¡¯t he also have to call Ye Chuan brother-in-law? This old fellow, didn¡¯t he come to exterminate Cloud Mist Sect? Or, did he come to infuriate him to death? The face of Li Guang Han twisted and he began to regret writing bloodletter to call State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. Now, even though he was feeling wronged in his heart, he didn¡¯t dare to become angry and also speak his mind. If he had known this would happen earlier, then he would have rather commanded the main forces to slowly advance and exterminate Cloud Mist Sect on his own, and then he wouldn¡¯t have felt like this. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was strong, only his father emperor could command him, and he didn¡¯t think about his feelings at all. Li Guang Han felt as if he was abandoned or to say was ignored, thus, he became angrier and angrier in his heart. ¡°I am not interested in some princess.¡± Ye Chuan replied. This direct rejection of Ye Chuan made Li Guang Han breath out a sigh of relief. ¡°Then, what do you want?¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng asked. He still didn¡¯t bat his eyelid and was completely indifferent. ¡°I want¡­¡­, the entire Da Qin Dynasty!¡± Ye Chaun said something startling and he coldly added, ¡°If you want me, Ye Chuan, to lay down my butcher¡¯s knife, then just territory isn¡¯t sufficient, letting me become the new Da Qin King is more like it.¡± As a Heaven Concealing Great Sage who once was in control of the entire Wilderness World, how could he agree to this offer? Ye Chuan played for time and after beating around the bush, he coldly refused. Unfortunately, even after delaying for so long, he still didn¡¯t see the figure of cyan robed Seventh Elder. Perhaps, he went out or had entered seclusion cultivation somewhere without paying any attention to the affairs of this world. The complexion of everyone changed, he opened his mouth and said that he wanted to become the new Da Qin King, how mad was Ye Chuan? Wasn¡¯t this intentionally enraging State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng and courting death? At this moment, both sides became nervous. The soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty raised their sword and ferociously looked at the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, preparing to fight a bloody battle. ¡°Hahaha, good, what a big tone, what a Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, hahaha¡­¡­¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng laughed heartily and suddenly an incomparably powerful energy fluctuation erupted from him and dense killing intent spread all over the sky. In an instant, from a middle-aged scholar who didn¡¯t cultivate, he changed into an invincible heaven-defying great expert. He reached out to grab Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner and lightly waved it, creating a powerful hurricane. Whoosh! A fierce wind broke out and swept away the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect like a tsunami. As for Flame Devil and others, they staggered back. Only Ye Chuan nailed securely on the ground, still standing in front of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. After the fierce wind grew a bit weaker, he rushed forward and took the initiative to attack violently as if a moth darting into a flame. Rank 2 Daoist Master realm expert against Half-Sage realm expert, this was basically not a contest! ¡°No, don¡¯t, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­.¡± ¡°Your Excellency, count me, Yi Yangzi, in!¡± ¡°Kakaka, me too!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Zhu Sijia, fatty and other disciples of Cloud Mist Sect screamed. As for Flame Devil, Horned Demon Na Gusi, and Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, they gritted their teeth and rushed up, despite knowing they were not the opponent, they wanted to fight alongside Ye Chuan. ¡°Who else? Come together, I will let you all see the power of my Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner, hahaha¡­¡­¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng roared with laughter and swayed the banner in his hand. Ye Chuan and others who were rushing towards him felt as if they were drawn into a whirlpool of the deep sea. It was hard to even stand. The banner lightly hit and Ye Chuan, Flame Devil and Horned Demon Na Gusi were sent flying and they vomited a mouthful of blood, suffering heavy injuries. Even a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand a single blow of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng! Only peak Daoist Master realm expert Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was able to cope with one or two attacks with great difficulty. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was fierce! Since the recruitment was unsuccessful, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng showed his ferocious appearance along with his heaven-defying power. He had Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner in his hand which was a big killing weapon, and just his powerful pressure was enough to frighten people and discard the thought of resisting. Roar! Ye Chuan got up and roared, then insanely circulating seven Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he entered Half-Dragon State. His body vaguely transformed into half human half dragon form, and then his energy fluctuation sharply increased as he ferociously rushed forward. And at the horizon, a true demonic dragon roared. Little Long¡¯er in demonic dragon form flew over carrying Sea Demoness Hai Lili on his back. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was so ferocious that even a true demonic dragon might not be able to stop him let alone Half Dragon State. Ye Chuan gritted his teeth and rushed up to stall, placing all of his hopes to the innate technique of Sea Demoness. As long as State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was dazed for an instant, it would be sufficient. This was the only hope for the victory and also the last card Cloud Mist Sect could rely on to survive! Chapter 340: Tiandu returns Chapter 340: Tiandu returns ¡°Eh, Half Dragon State? Or, the legendary demonic dragon?¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was somewhat surprised and he violently swayed Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner and said to Ye Chuan, ¡°Ye Chuan, people outside were saying that you have obtained the inheritance of that paradise realm, it seems that was truly not false, no wonder even Extinction Taoist and others died in your hands. However, this is useless in front of this lordship, it is something else if you were a true demonic dragon, but Half Dragon State, no matter how powerful you are, you are going to become dead spirit under my banner!¡± The fluttering banner suddenly stopped still and as if a sharp wheel, it cut down towards Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan suddenly swayed left and right and putting a good use of Cyan Feather Technique, he dodged, but his left shoulder was still scrapped by the edge of the banner and immediately a deep wound from where bone could be seen appeared. If his reaction was even a bit slower, then he would have been cut into two half by this banner. The banner that fluttered in the wind, in the hands of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, it could sweep, lash out and swat, moreover, it also could change into a sharp killing weapon. Its might was astonishing and had infinite variation. Its appearance of cutting down made people remember Demonic Dragon Wheel in the Demonic Dragon Hall. ¡°Your Excellency, watch out!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes rushed forward and a lot of vines suddenly sprang out from the ground and trapped State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. Zhu Sijia, Fatty Zhao Dazhi and others were worried, but they could only look from distance. Even Flame Devil and Horn Demon Na Gusi couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow let alone them. Even though they had the heart to help, they were powerless. Among the subordinates of Ye Chuan, only Old Demon of Mount Yin could barely handle a few moves. Even when cooperating, they were far from being the opponent of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. Sure enough, countless vines were instantly cut off by Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner in the hand of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. He continued swaying and pressured Ye Chuan like a mountain. This banner was ten meters tall and was even bigger than a house. Swept away by this banner, no matter how many techniques one had, one wouldn¡¯t be able to escape the control of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk. He suddenly stopped and lied on the ground. That terrifying banner nearly scraped the tip of his nose. Next, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng swayed this banner to attack again. This banner fell from the sky, wanting to directly chop down the head of Ye Chuan. ¡°Your Excellency, catch!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin shot out a long vine from his palm. Ye Chuan stretched his hand and grabbing this vine, he quickly retreated, barely dodging this banner. ¡°Not bad, one Rank 2 Daoist Master and one peak Daoist Master, your cooperation is quite good, unfortunately, you will die here today. Okay, it is the time to end this!¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng raised Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner in his hands and his incomparable energy fluctuation rose once again. Just when he was about to use all his strength to kill Ye Chuan and Old Demon of Mount Yin, suddenly a powerful dragon roar resounded along with a vague beautiful sound of singing. At this critical moment, Little Long¡¯er carrying Sea Demoness Hai Lili on his back rushed over. And Hai Lili on the back of Little Long¡¯er used her Sea Demon Clan¡¯s innate skill. Outside and inside the entrance gate, the people of both sides instantly entered a trance and stood still. Even State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, he slightly looked up and was absolutely still. The banner on his hand was also still. The time was frozen for this instant. The Song of Sea Demon! Hai Lili burned her own fate vitality as a price and used the innate skill of Sea Demon Clan without holding back. In this period of time, when Zhu Sijia and others were fighting a bloody battle outside, she however had been staying in Heavenly Dragon Peak. On one hand, she was taking care of Heavenly Dragon Tree and Mist Bamboo and on the other hand, she was waiting for this moment. She was to use this killing move at the last moment. ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Chuan who was lying on the ground suddenly jumped up and rushed to the front of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, then opening his mouth, he spat out sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword and ferociously punched at the same time. He had been waiting for this time, waiting for this moment! Ye Chuan went all out. Dragon Slaying Flying Sword came into contact with the body of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, but along with a ding sound, this flying sword that was able to cut through the horsetail whisk of Extinction Taoist was unable to stab him, on the contrary, it bounced back. The cultivation of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was unfathomable and his physical body was also sturdy to the point of incredible! Oh! Ye Chuan was shocked in his heart, but he didn¡¯t stop his attack instead continued to punch with determination. Dong, a muffled sound resounded and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng too three steps back. As for Ye Chuan, he was sent flying by rebound and his right arm loosely drooped down. At that moment, not only he was unable to kill State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, on the contrary, his arm was broken. 126,000 jin strength, such a fierce strength, was that useless? Ye Chuan was shocked and a hint of despair flashed through his eyes. He got up wanting to attack again, but it was already too late. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng had already come to his senses. ¡°The innate skill of Sea Demon Clan? Good, good, I truly didn¡¯t expect that such a small Cloud Mist Sect unexpectedly has an abundance of capable people. Youngster, this lordship is truly reluctant to kill you, unfortunately, you give me no other choice, you are destined to die here today.¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng violently swayed Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner in his hand. Little Long¡¯er as well as Hai Lili on his back fell to the ground along with a wind blast. After that, holding Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner in his right hand, he grabbed void with his left hand, pulling Ye Chuan towards him, then the banner chopped down as if it transformed into a sword, wanting to cut Ye Chuan to two pieces. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng who never batted his eyelid, after nearly dying in the hands of Ye Chuan, he was angry and his killing intent soared. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, no¡­¡­¡± ¡°Your Excellency¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others shouted as they rushed forward regardless of their safety. Unfortunately, a violent gust of wind sent them flying. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was angry, he didn¡¯t let anyone approach him, and watched Ye Chuan struggling helplessly. Roar! An ear deafening dragon roar resounded from the direction of Evil Dragon Abyss. Compared to the roar of Little Long¡¯er, this dragon roar was even more powerful. This roar was accompanied by a powerful energy fluctuation and dense killing intent. An over one thousand meter long fiery red dragon suddenly flew over from the direction of Evil Dragon Abyss. It was very ferocious and it had locked on to State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. ¡°Who dares to touch my Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I, Nan Tiandu will kill him!¡± A huge dragon spoke in human speech as its huge dragon body streak across the night sky. Then, opening its mouth wide, flame descended from the sky burning thousands of soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty to ashes. Seeing Ye Chuan was about to die in the hands of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, the evil dragon of Evil Dragon Abyss suddenly rushed out. It seemed that Nan Tiandu who had lost his body laughed in the end. He derived gain by misfortune and fused with the body of Evil Dragon Meng Ao. Nan Taindu once was millennium genius of Cloud Mist Sect; now, fusing with the body and soul of Evil Dragon Meng Ao, he couldn¡¯t be described with the title of only millennium genius. Outside the entrance gate, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng who had always been relaxed suddenly became solemn. Chapter 341: Heroes assembled Chapter 341: Heroes assembled Roar! The speed of Nan Tiandu was amazing. He dived down from the sky and ferociously collided with State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. Over one thousand meters long huge dragon, it was just like a mountain, and colliding all of a sudden was very ferocious! Both parties retreated in succession from the center of the battlefield. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng also had no choice but to give up attacking Ye Chuan. He held Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner high with his both hands and waved it left and right, giving rise to ¡®whoosh whoosh¡¯ sounds. After waiting for a long time, instead of cyan robed Seventh Elder for whom Ye Chuan was waiting for, Nan Tiandu who was at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss came. And under the gaze of everyone, Nan Tiandu with a huge body and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng¡¯s Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner collided. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng let out a muffled groan and took three steps back. As for Nan Tiandu, he was sent flying and his head was badly mangled. His head had nearly blown up. Over one thousand meter long dragon was unexpectedly sent flying by a banner? Both sides were shocked. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was far stronger than the imagination. A Half-Sage realm expert, his strength was truly heaven-defying, it was beyond common sense! ¡°What other means do you have? Use all of them! Today, this lordship will let you die completely convinced, and round you all up at one fell swoop!¡± The killing intent of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng became denser, then jumping up, he brandished his Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner again towards Nan Tiandu. The huge dragon wailed mournfully as a deep would appear on his body. At this moment, the dragon scales that a flying sword couldn¡¯t even scratch were unable to withstand a single blow of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. ¡°Rhodes!¡± Ye Chuan roared and called Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, then rushed forward to stall State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. This old fellow¡¯s ferociousness was even beyond his imagination, but if he didn¡¯t make a move now, then Nan Tiandu would die under his hand. Countless vines suddenly sprang out from the ground and wound around State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng like a snake, submerging him. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes also made a move without any reservation. He knew that these vines were useless against State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, they will be unable to kill him, but, at the very least, they could stop him and stall for time. Sure enough, they slightly delayed State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, thus, he was unable to finish up Nan Tiandu. Now, he was very ferocious and rushed over to kill Ye Chuan and Old Demon of Mount Yin. But, from behind, Nan Tiandu boldly rushed over again regardless of his safety. Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu fought a bloody battle against State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. This battle was incomparably ferocious. Even Flame Devil and others, these later stage Daoist Master realm experts, were unable to intervene in this battle. Both sides, regardless of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect or soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty, all retreated far away from this center of the battlefield and watch this battle without blinking. This battle was incomparably ferocious and was also a vital battle. If State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng won, no need to say that Ye Chuan and others would die a tragic death on the spot, Cloud Mist Sect would also be flattened. If State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng loses, then the army would be routed and the first step of Da Qin King to dip his finger in cultivating sects would fail. For Da Qin Dynasty, this will be a heavy blow. But, the problem was civil and military officials above, will they be able to take the news of the defeat of State Teacher having both courage and cunning who would break through to Sage realm at any time? Everyone was endlessly nervous. Soon, they knew that State Teacher wouldn¡¯t lose, he was set to win. After not many dangers, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng who was being besieged by Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu slowly began to counterattack ferociously. Now, that Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner in his hand was even heavier than the bronze cauldron of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Tuoba Xiong. It was at least 100,000 jin in weight. It would deal even more severe injuries now. With everybody watching, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng became increasingly braver. The strength of Half-Sage realm was slowly displayed. Even when three experts were cooperating, they were not his opponent. Soon, Ye Chuan and other two were dripping with blood. Old Demon of Mount Yin who had always been laughing arrogantly couldn¡¯t even smile now. He was having a hard time even to stand up. At this moment, he felt like he had become a small demon like in Five Fingered Buddhist Cave. ¡°Kill, kill, kill all of them, hahaha, kill¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han was endlessly excited. He had waited too long to see this. He had endured his anger and grievances for so long just for this moment! Seeing Ye Chuan was about to die under the hands of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, no one was more excited than him! The grievances of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, the hatred caused by the love of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and the blood debts of Cloud Mist Sect, all will be settled at this moment. ¡°Miss Jiajia, what should we do?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi anxiously asked. Li Guang Han was endlessly excited, but the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were endlessly frightened. If Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice Brother, died, then the pillar supporting Cloud Mist Sect would collapse. None of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect might be able to escape, they would be chased down and killed by the soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty. ¡°Pass down my orders, give up the sect, take the path near Evil Dragon Abyss to withdraw and scatter into the depths of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, but regroup at the seashore of the other side of Cloud Mist Mountain Range.¡± Zhu Sijia ordered as she helplessly watched bloody Ye Chuan. No one was more worried than her, but she had no choice but to forcibly calm down and make a final decision. She absolutely cannot let the inheritance of Cloud Mist Sect cut off in her generation! Cloud Mist Sect is finished! But, as long as the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were still alive, one day, the sect will be built again and its inheritance will continue! ¡°Okay, Jiajia, let¡¯s go together!¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi transmitted the orders of Zhu Sijia, then grabbing the right hand of Zhu Sijia, he hastily pulled her away. He wanted to take advantage of this time when the soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty had yet to react and the Heaven Concealing Great Formation had yet to completely disappear to hastily evacuate. ¡°Ye Chuan, my Big Senior Apprentice Brother, this is the eternal parting, wait for me until I lead all disciples to the seaside without any danger, then I will return to accompany you to sleep forever in this mountain!¡± Zhu Sijia turned her head back with tears flowing down her eyes. She wanted to stay and accompany Ye Chuan. Although she knew that she would surely die, at least, she would be able to die together with Ye Chuan. Without Ye Chuan, staying alive was more painful. Unfortunately, she couldn¡¯t do that because she carried a heavy responsibility of evacuating all disciples, so although death was better than life, she shouldn¡¯t die. No one could understand this pain. ¡°Jiajia, let¡¯s go, we cannot change the fate of Big Senior Apprentice Brother, run, quickly run!¡± Fatty was also crying, but he still forcibly pulled Zhu Sijia and ran like mad. He feared that Zhu Sijia would stay behind to die. Ye Chuan was set to die, and after Cloud Mist Sect loses Ye Chuan, this pillar, it couldn¡¯t afford to lose Zhu Sijia too. If Zhu Sijia also died, then Cloud Mist Sect would truly end. The disciples would immediately disperse and thoroughly collapse. A hint of seven colored light suddenly appeared at the horizon and quickly flew over. ¡°Old dog, stop!¡± A could voice resounded and a flying sword whistled towards State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, followed by a terrifying energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation was far more powerful than Flame Devil and other later stage Daoist Master realm experts. Shockingly was a peak Daoist Master realm expert. Sensing Ye Chuan was in danger, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia hurried over from Heavenly Yao Sect regardless of everything. After cultivating in a pair for a long time, they had formed a kind of connection. As a result, when one of them was in danger, even if they were far away from each other, the other could sense it. Chapter 342: Heaven-defying true qualities Chapter 342: Heaven-defying true qualities ¡°Heh heh, another one came!¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng sneered and flicked his finger, sending that flying sword fly back. His cultivation had truly reached the heaven-defying level! He lifted Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner and waved it again, causing Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia flying in high altitude fall straight down. ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Chuan dashed to the front of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng regardless of his safety with sharp blades glimmering with pallid light in his finger cracks. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was fierce, Ye Chuan was well aware of the danger but he still rushed forward, wanting to use Inch Blade! Ding ding ding, all sharp blades landed on the body of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, but the sharp blades that could even cut through the dragon scales were unable to cut through the skin of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. After refining Half Dragon Physique, the physical body of Ye Chuan had already become sufficiently doughty and was even superior to a number of Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts. But compared to this State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, he was still far away! The physical body of this fellow was doughty, even superior to some Sage realm experts he knew in his previous life. He wondered how this fellow cultivate. Thousand years could give birth to an emperor that dominates the secular world, but more than ten thousand years were needed to give birth to such a peerless State Teacher! A phrase circulating within Da Qin Dynasty appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was a royal official of the court, but he had left many cultivators far behind in cultivation. ¡°Your Excellency, watch out!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin who was moving about gritted his teeth and roared. Countless vines once again sprang out from the ground and bound State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. At the same time, an ear-deafening dragon roar resounded as Nan Tiandu charged towards State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia also recalled her flying sword and rushed forward, stabbing towards the forehead of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. ¡°Good, good, this is a bit interesting!¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng coldly snorted. He used his palm to swat Ye Chuan flying, then waved the banner in his hand to deal with the attacks of Nan Tiandu, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and Old Demon of Mount Yin. The more he fought, the braver he became. Little Long¡¯er carrying Sea Demoness Hai Lili watched this battle from one side with worries. Hal Lili had the heart to help but her cultivation base was insufficient and she was unable to use her innate technique for some time. ¡°Rhodes, cover me!¡± Ye Chuan quickly retreated and gritting his teeth, he insanely circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. The atmosphere became heavy and an obscure energy fluctuation shrouded the area within the radius of 10 li. Then the spirit of Old Demon of Mount Yin, Nan Tiandu and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia shook, and as if they had eaten a pill that gave them endless strength, their fighting powers increased. As for State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, his body felt heavy and he found it hard to move as if he was sinking in a marsh. For the first time, he felt uncomfortable as he felt indistinct pressure. War Nation! Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia arrived at the brink of time. With her, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu stalling for time, Ye Chuan finally had time to take a breather and over drafted his potential to forcibly lay out a restriction. Within the range of this restriction, the fighting power of Nan Tiandu and others increased sharply while State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was subjected to the pressure of this restriction. ¡°Good move, kid, I never expected you to be this good at the restriction. What other means do you have, show them quickly, otherwise, you will have no chance!¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng raised his eyebrows, seemingly, surprised. He hadn¡¯t expected this youth Ye Chuan to have so many tricks. Just after he finished speaking, he brandished Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner in his hand, attacking violently. Even facing four powerful Daoist Master realm experts under the restriction of War Nation, his complexion didn¡¯t change. A fierce battle unfolded in front of the eyes of everyone. The arrival of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia added a bit of suspense to this battle, and also made the battle more ferocious. Now, four great experts fought against State Teacher displaying their respective techniques! Inside the sect, Zhu Sijia who was hastily leading disciples to flee suddenly stopped her footsteps. She turned around to look at this fierce battle and prayed to the ancestors of Cloud Mist Sect to protect the sect and let Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan survive this calamity. Among four great experts, other than Ye Chuan whose cultivation was only Rank 2 Daoist Master realm, other three, regardless of Old Demon of Mount Yin, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and Nan Tiandu, all were peak Daoist Master realm expert. Their cultivation base was outstanding. In particular, Nan Tiandu who had reborn as an evil dragon, he had a vague sign of breaking through to Half-Sage realm. His fighting capability was highest among four. In order to contend against State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, this formidable enemy, Nan Tiandu had no choice but to temporarily leave the seclusion, otherwise, if he had calmly lied low for 3 to 5 years and thoroughly fuse with the soul and body of evil dragon Meng Ao, then his cultivation might have reached even higher realm. With the cooperation of four experts, their fighting capability vastly increased, and with the addition of War Nation, the four of them were like a fish in water. In particular, Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who had cultivated in a pair for a long time, they had a tacit understanding of their heart and soul. They cooperated and repeatedly initiated deadly attacks. The Soul Rending Sword of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had scraped the scalp of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng quite a few times. At this moment, even State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, this kind of heaven-defying expert, was also at disadvantage. Seeing this, the complexion of Li Guang Han became deathly pale. If Ye Chuan was not killed, then he was doomed to be unable to avenge himself throughout his life, moreover, he had to live under the shadow of Ye Chuan for this lifetime. ¡°I am not willing, not willing! Li Guang Han gnashed his teeth and his face twisted. He was dying to rush forward and personally tear Ye Chuan to shreds. Merely, he didn¡¯t have guts, the level of the battle in front of him was far beyond where he could intervene. Even Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts were unqualified to take part in this battle. Gradually, the situation of the battlefield made the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect excited, and they began cheering loudly. But, after a short while, the situation reversed. After adapting to the binding of War Nation and withstanding waves after waves of attacks by Ye Chuan¡¯s group, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng began to counterattack. The Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner in his hand fluttered rapidly. It was heavy as mountain and fast as the wind. Even over a thousand meter long body of Nan Tiandu was unable to withstand, colliding against this banner, he would be sent flying. Looking for an opportune moment, behind the head of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, seven colored halo suddenly shone and she rushed up, hoping to pierce through the back of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. The result, she was seen through by the latter, the banner fluttered and she was sent flying. ¡°Zixia¡­..¡± Ye Chuan was startled and also angry. He rushed forward to save her, merely, a big hand suddenly appeared in front of him, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng had taken the initiative to palm him. ¡°Kid, I have been waiting for you for a long time!¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng coldly smiled and his palm landed on the chest of Ye Chuan. The palm landed as lightly as a feather, seemingly, there was no strength behind that palm, but Ye Chuan¡¯s body emitted a cracking sound and his chest was sunken, moreover, after vomiting a mouthful of blood, he lost his consciousness. Upon seeing this, Nan Tiandu and Old Demon of Mount Yin simultaneously dashed ahead regardless of their safety, but before they could save Ye Chuan, they were sent flying by that heavy banner. In an instant, the situation of the battlefield took a sudden unfavorable turn, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng displayed the qualities of the heaven-defying expert. He had a complete victory fighting against four experts. Chapter 343: Heavenly Empress came in person Chapter 343: Heavenly Empress came in person ¡°Hahaha, Ye Chuan, you are finally screwed, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han roared with laughter looking at Ye Chuan who was lying unconscious on the ground. He was even more excited than State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng as if he was the one who knocked down Ye Chuan. After waiting for a long time and getting excited for one moment and disappointed for another moment, finally, he was able to see this scene. It was not easy at all. Li Guang Han was so excited at this moment that he was not this excited even when he was crowned as Da Qin Crown Prince. Because of the extreme hatred, he became extremely excited. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng stretched his hand and stretched his fingers, then Ye Chuan flew towards him. If he collided against the five fingers of State Teacher, then he would die with five holes on his head. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± ¡°Your Excellency!¡± Nan Tiandu and Old Demon of Mount Yin screamed. They gritted their teeth and wanted to rush forward. Unfortunately, they were too late to stop State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. A hint of cold sword light streak across suddenly from the Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was swept by Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner, sensing Ye Chuan was in danger, she couldn¡¯t afford to retreat. She stabbed towards the space between the eyebrows of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng from close proximity. Buzz! Her sword stopped just half an inch away from the space between the eyebrows of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. The attack of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was very fast, and the distance was also small, if there was any other person, then he wouldn¡¯t have time to dodge this attack. Unfortunately, State Teacher was State Teacher, his cultivation base was not something an average person could match. He coldly smiled and used two fingers to clamp the flying sword of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. ¡°Kill!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia spared no effort but the Soul Rendering Sword in her hand didn¡¯t even budge an inch. The two fingers of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng were unshakable like an iron pincer. Even peak Daoist Master realm expert isn¡¯t able to do anything. People were shocked. The cultivation of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was truly unfathomable. Daoist Master realm experts were far from being able to deal with him. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this boy Ye Chuan to be a romantic noble son. Not only he has endless tricks, he furthermore has a woman like you who is most willing to die for him. No matter, this lordship will help you all achieve your aim today. I will let you two die together.¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng sneered, then lightly turning his fingers, he broke Soul Rendering Sword of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Next, he palmed Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia wanting to blow out her body. On this same distance, the sword stab of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had instantly arrived in front of State Teacher, but this palm of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was even faster. With the cultivation of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, she didn¡¯t have enough time to dodge this attack. But, just when everybody was thinking that this palm attack would instantly turn her into a meat pulp, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng unexpectedly stopped all of a sudden. Now, the palm was half an inch away from her forehead. The powerful palm wind blew away the veil of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, revealing her beautiful face. Her facial features were exquisite, although her skin looked old with many wrinkles which were inconsistent with the age of Heavenly Maiden, one could vaguely see that her face was beautiful. Moreover, with her innate aloof and noble temperament, she was absolutely a great beauty even in this condition. Such appearance along with that tall and graceful figure, even Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who had experienced many beauties was attracted by her beauty. As for soldiers, they were even more stunned. Such a beautiful woman, who was willing to ferociously destroy this flower? People asked themselves, they were absolutely reluctant, they couldn¡¯t do that. Although State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was powerful, he was also a human, not a real god, still just a man. People thought that State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng also made a mistake all men would make. He was reluctant to destroy this flower, even had some bad intention to take away Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. But, there was no sign of having bad intention on the face of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, on the contrary, there was a surprise, confusion and excitement on his face as he asked, ¡°Little girl, you¡­¡­, who are you, what is your name?¡± The image of a woman that was engraved in his mind suddenly appeared in the mind of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. Same face, same expression and even the temperament was exactly the same. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia before his eyes was almost exactly the same as that woman in his mind. ¡°Want to kill, then kill, attack!¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia turned her head and didn¡¯t even look at State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, disdaining to talk any more. Her skill was inferior, even four of them together were unable to defeat him, she admitted that. Death was nothing frightening for her. From another perspective, it was a good outcome as she will be able to die together with Ye Chuan. The lovers cultivating in a pair is just like a pair of mythical birds that have only one wing each thus they fly in the sky in pairs. And once one dies, there is no meaning for the other one to live. After cultivating in pair with Ye Chuan in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm and comprehending Demonic Dragon Sutra, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was dying to always be together with Ye Chuan. She had yet to completely give herself to Ye Chuan, but her heart already belonged to Ye Chuan long ago. ¡°How can I kill you?¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng made a wry smile and his expression became somewhat complicated. Then, looking at Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he said, ¡°Youngster, tell me, your surname is Hong, isn¡¯t that so?¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia turned around in surprise, soon after that she calmed down. Who was State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng? He was State Teacher of grand Da Qin Dynasty. He was under only one person and above millions. With his power and resourcefulness, he should have already seen her portrait when they were making schemes to dip their finger in Heavenly Yao Sect. So, there was nothing surprising for him to know her circumstances. ¡°That¡¯s good, you are truly surnamed Hong, no wonder you look just like her, no wonder¡­¡­¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng took a few steps back and retracted his hand, moreover, his killing intent also slowly dispersed. Now, he was muttering to himself in a daze and was even driven to distraction as if he recalled something. A glittering and translucent silver hair suddenly appeared from the void. One, two¡­¡­, more and more, and then a figure appeared from the void. She was young and pretty, moreover, her appearance was not any inferior to Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, in addition, she had a mature charm. But her long hair was completely white. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi had come in person. ¡°Kill, kill, Jiang Tunsheng, how come you are not killing?¡± Looking at dazed State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, White Haired Heavenly Empress laughed heartily. She was neither early nor late, when Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was in danger, she didn¡¯t appear, only when State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng stopped, she ripped the void and come out. ¡°You don¡¯t have other disciplines, rules of etiquette, morals and law in your eyes, Zixia and traitor Ye Chuan defied Da Qin Dynasty, but how come you are not killing them? Now, you are finally shrinking back, not daring to attack, hahaha¡­..¡± ¡°Zixia¡­¡­, so she is called Hong Zixia, good, what a good name.¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng nodded his head and calmed down, then coldly looking at White Haired Heavenly Empress, he said, ¡°Zhao Tianbi, did you bring up Zixia? At that time, did you take away Zixia and secretly bring her to Heavenly Yao Sect to hide away? ¡°What secretly hiding away? I am the aunt of Zixia, her mother is my good sister. Now, I have brought her up into a powerful expert and passed her a peerless technique. Jiang Tunsheng, you can ask Zixia, did I ever treated her unfairly? On the contrary, you are in a high position, but when did you ever earnestly look for Zixia? Perhaps, you have long thought that Zixia has already died or was eagerly looking forward to her death which would reduce your one trouble, isn¡¯t that so? Hahaha¡­¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress ferociously stared at State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng and roared with laughter until her face distorted. Now, she looked even more ferocious compared to the time when Li Guang Han was angry, and listening to her tone, it seemed she and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was not only acquaintances, but were also very familiar with each other. Other people might fear Jiang Tunsheng, this heaven-defying State Teacher, but she was Heavenly Empress that controls Heavenly Yao Sect, she nevertheless didn¡¯t fear him at all. Chapter 344: What is love Chapter 344: What is love ¡°Zhao Tianbi, what do you want?¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng took a step forward with a cold face and his killing intent soared again. Compared to the time when he was fighting Ye Chuan, Heavenly Maiden, Nan Tiandu and Old Demon of Mount Yin, his face was even colder and his killing intent was much denser. ¡°Heh heh, what do I want to do? Jiang Tunsheng, don¡¯t you already know?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi sneered and took two steps forward without showing any weakness. Her momentum was even stronger than State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. ¡°It is still the same as before, give up everything of this world and leave with me. It would be best to go to a small paradise realm, but returning to Heavenly Yao Sect is also fine, otherwise¡­¡­, we¡¯ll have to fight all the way to the end and see who would genuinely control the world and also see who will break through to Sage realm first. Other people might be afraid of you, but I, Zhao Tianbi doesn¡¯t fear you, want to fight then come, let¡¯s fight! If you don¡¯t fight now, then not many years later, you and Zixia will have to fight to the death, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± The eyes of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng shone with pallid light and suddenly a powerful energy fluctuation erupted out from his body along with dense killing intent. But White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi opposed him with equal harshness. He suddenly swayed the Iron Blooded Da Qin Banner and along with fluttering sounds, clouds of dust flew up. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, Nan Tiandu and Old Demon of Mount Yin were unable to stand stable at that place. When experts fought, not only they had to fight against invisible air blasts, they still had to withstand sand flying about and stones hurtling through the air. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was fierce, but now, he finally met an evenly matched opponent. The cultivation of White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi was similarly heaven-defying, similarly was at Half-Sage realm and could break through to Sage realm at any time. If they two fought to the death, then no matter who won and who lost, this surrounding of Cloud Mist Sect would definitely be changed beyond recognition as an aftermath. ¡°Zhao Tianbi, you are lunatic!¡± Seeing the battle was about to break out at any moment, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng retracted his energy fluctuation. He looked at Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia with complex expression and fly away. In just this fashion, State Teacher who was known for being incomparably ferocious left. Zhu Siji, fatty and others were overjoyed and excited. As for the soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty, they were stunned, and after coming back to their senses, they hastily retreated. ¡°No¡­¡­, how can this be? State Teacher, you cannot leave, all of you, stop for me, no¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han shouted himself hoarse. Ye Chuan was already seriously injured and was lying unconscious on the ground, just about to die. But at this moment, State Teacher left and the army also hastily retreated. This made Li Guang Han feel as if a heavy hammer had smashed his chest, and he felt so stifled that he was gasping for breath. Even like this, Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t killed. Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han truly wanted to vomit blood, and he shouted himself hoarse, unfortunately, no one listened to him. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng didn¡¯t listen to him, he didn¡¯t even look at him. As for the soldiers, they looked back, then¡­¡­, they ran even faster. Since State Teacher had left and the other party still had a heaven-defying expert who was as powerful as State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, how could they attack again? If they don¡¯t leave now and listen to Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and stay behind, then they would absolutely become a cannon fodder. Only a fool will listen to him at this moment. ¡°No¡­¡­, come back for me!¡± Li Guang Han shouted at the top of his voice and chased after soldiers. He ran east for a moment and ran west for another moment chasing after soldiers like a madman,but the soldiers disappeared into the night. ¡°This disciple greets Master.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia stepped forward and greeted while feeling ill at ease. This time, she knew that she was in trouble. Since White Haired Heavenly Empress caught her red-handed, even though she had thousands of questions in her heart, she didn¡¯t dare to ask. The laws of Heavenly Yao Sect was strict. The law strictly forbids them from having a conflict with the dynasty of the secular world. Especially herself, as a Heavenly Maiden, her each and every action represents Heavenly Yao Sect, so she couldn¡¯t easily leave the sect. This time, not only she suddenly left Heavenly Yao Sect, for Ye Chuan, she fought with State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, moreover, regardless of the consequences, she publicly displayed her affection towards Ye Chuan. According to the law of Heavenly Yao Sect, this was a big crime. ¡°Zixia, do you know your crime?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi dispersed her powerful energy fluctuation, but her killing intent was still present. ¡°Disciple is wrong.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t dare to lie, she just bowed. Ding! White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi pulled out a sword and threw it to the front of Heavenly Maiden and coldly said, ¡°It¡¯s good that you know your mistake, now, go and kill Ye Chuan, you can do that, can¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Master¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was startled and she trembled. As for Zhu Sijia and others, they were very nervous. Just after ferocious State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng left, now there was Heavenly Empress who was not any inferior to State Teacher, who can deal with her? ¡°What? You don¡¯t dare to kill? Or, you are reluctant to kill?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress sneered and slowly said with anger, ¡°Zixia, if you don¡¯t raise your hand, then I will summon Tian Ku and others, and make them kill this kid Ye Chuan and also destroy Cloud Mist Sect.¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi used a technique and in the air, a tall figure appeared. Kumu warrior Tian Ku appeared here from the distant Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°No, don¡¯t! Master, everything is this disciple¡¯s fault, Master, please let Ye Chuan go, this disciple is willing to bear all the punishment.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia fell to her knees and earnestly looked at White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi. In front of the ferocious State Teacher, she rushed up to fight without any fear, but before her Master White Haired Heavenly Empress, she didn¡¯t even have a thought of resistance. No one knew better than her how terrifying the means of her Master White Haired Heavenly Empress was. ¡°Putting it that way, Zixia, do you truly like this kid Ye Chuan?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress sneered and her complexion was gloomy. ¡°Yes.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia replied. ¡°Do you truly want to give up everything for this kid even your life?¡± The face of White Haired Heavenly Empress became even colder. ¡°Yes.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t hesitate. ¡°Okay, then, I will agree with you. Tian Ku, take Zixia away, seal her power, erase her memories and suppress her beneath Heavenly Yao Peak. Don¡¯t let her see even a hint of light throughout her life!¡± After White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi shot a quick glance at Ye Chuan, she laughed and flew away. But her voice indistinctly reverberated in the air, ¡°Love, hahaha, this word ¡®love¡¯ is a calamity, sure enough, no one can escape from it. Jiang Tunsheng, you also can¡¯t escape, your daughter also cannot escape, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± ¡°Zixia, punishment.¡± Kumu warrior Tian Ku took out shackles with sinister-looking runes. He sighed and bound the body of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and pulled her away. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia didn¡¯t resist, but she was reluctant to leave. She would turn her head three times with every step, repeatedly looking at Ye Chuan who was lying on the ground unconscious with tears flowing down her eyes. The first encounter in Heavenly Yao Sect, meeting again in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, being moved from the bottom of her heart, soon after that cultivating in pair due to a strange combination circumstances, sneaking out from Heavenly Yao Sect to meet Ye Chuan¡­¡­, one scene after another floated in the mind of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Her tears continued to flow. This was an eternal parting, they two will have no chance to meet each other again. After sealing her power, she would be suppressed under Heavenly Yao Peak. This was the cruelest torture of Heavenly Yao Sect. It was better to die than live. Even a Half-Sage realm expert might not be able to endure that kind of pain and loneliness, and they would want to commit suicide. High in the air, above the dense layer of cloud, a cyan robed man was standing. He saw everything below, but he just sighed and disappeared. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia cried while leaving, Zhu Sijia also cried. She suddenly discovered that there was another woman who loved Ye Chuan more than herself. All these, how should she tell Ye Chuan after he wakes up? The deeper you love the more it hurts. After their heart broke, the temperament of some would have a huge change, some would become mad and there were also some who would lose their drive to live. This calamity of love, every youth, regardless of men and women, they must go through this calamity. What is love, no one could explain clearly. People who truly fell in love were unwilling to speak of it, they would silently shed tears behind. If they didn¡¯t shed tears one day, then that means, their tears had dried up, their end of life had arrived, or their heart had changed into a stone. Chapter 345: Iron Blooded Banner Chapter 345: Iron Blooded Banner After three days, Ye Chuan finally woke up. This time, he was severely injured. That palm attack of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng nearly blew out his internal organs, even his Half Dragon Physique was unable to withstand. Fortunately, he survived in the end. With the help of Zhu Sijia, Ye Chuan got out of the bed and standing on the peak of the mountain, he looked down towards the mainland below. A gentle breeze blew. It made people feel cool but not cold. At this moment, the atmosphere was refreshing and the sun was shining brightly. Inside and outside the sect, the disciples were busily bustling about. The battlefield had already been cleaned. The corpses of both sides were already buried. Now, the disciples were busy rebuilding the entrance gate and destroyed energy tower. Da Qin Dynasty had finally withdrawn and the storm had finally passed. ¡°Jiajia, did Da Qin Dynasty truly withdraw?¡± Ye Chuan asked. Now, he couldn¡¯t see any soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty outside the gate, but Ye Chuan was still ill at ease. If State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was to stage a comeback at this moment, then not a single one would be able to escape, all will be rounded up in one fell swoop. ¡°Yes, I personally saw them withdrawing. All the soldiers also had already left and the camp of Pingyuan ancient town is already demolished.¡± Zhu Sijia replied. Due to the severe injury of Ye Chuan, he was in a coma for three days, so Zhu Sijia resolutely took the heavy burden and personally went to scout in the daytime and personally took care of Ye Chuan at night without sleeping properly. She personally applied the medicine to his severe injuries. At this moment, although her figure was still gentle and graceful, her complexion was clearly thin and pallid compared to former days. ¡°What about the side of Heavenly Yao Sect? Is there any movement?¡± Ye Chuan asked again. Da Qin Dynasty had withdrawn, but for Cloud Mist Sect, the danger had yet to pass. Compared to Da Qin Dynasty, Heavenly Yao Sect might be even more difficult to deal with. Once they initiate the attack, experts would rush over in crowds. ¡°No, they say¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia somewhat hesitated and said, ¡°According to the reliable information, after White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi took back Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia to Heavenly Yao Sect, she announced that she would be entering seclusion cultivation to break through to Sage realm in one fell swoop. And she strictly forbade any disciple from leaving without authorization.¡± ¡°In other words, the matter of Heaven Burning Furnace is settled just like this. Or to say, at least for the short term, there is no threat from Heavenly Yao Sect.¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised, but thinking for a bit, it was reasonable. Perhaps, the identity of Hong Zixia might have persuaded White Haired Heavenly Empress. ¡°Well, everything has passed.¡± Zhu Sijia replied in a low voice. Her expression was somewhat complicated and she looked down not daring to look at Ye Chuan. The news of White Haired Heavenly Empress sealing the cultivation of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and suppressing her beneath Heavenly Yao Peak was strictly sealed off under her orders. No one dared to tell the truth to Ye Chuan. Otherwise, with the character of Ye Chuan, he might immediately rush over to Heavenly Yao Sect. But, not mentioning his current weak state, even when he was at his strongest state, that was just like a moth darting into a flame. ¡°Good, that¡¯s good, the storm has finally passed.¡± Ye Chuan sighed and said, ¡°However, we still cannot be careless, watch out for the comeback of Da Qin Dynasty, or, something might happen in Heavenly Yao Sect. We must closely watch these two overlords.¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, rest assured. I have already made the arrangement for this. In this period of time, you should only focus on healing your injuries. Besides, when disciples were cleaning up the battlefield, they found some good spoils of war. Take a look at them.¡± Zhu Sijia hinted and left with fatty Zhao Dazhi. Soon, they returned with disciples carrying many spoils of war. There were sharp flying swords, indestructible Iron Blooded Da Qin Battle Armors, moreover, also a treasure Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t expected, Iron Blooded Banner. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng had left leaving behind his big killing weapon Iron Blooded Banner. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know whether he didn¡¯t want it or he was so shocked by White Haired Heavenly Empress that he unconsciously left it behind. This banner was big and also heavy. More than ten disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were having a hard time to carry it. In terms of just weight, it might already be the heaviest killing weapon. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you have innate superhuman strength, moreover, a Rank 2 Daoist Master realm expert. You led disciples to hold out against 200,000 strong soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty. This Iron Blooded Banner, only you can lift it, also, this kind of big killing weapon, only you are worthy of it!¡± Nan Tiandu in human form walked over and said. Now, after fusing with the body of Evil Dragon Meng Ao, his cultivation base had surpassed the cultivation base of Ye Chuan. He already had half a step into Half-Sage realm. It was better to use the words ¡®innate superhuman strength¡¯ for him, but this unparalleled millennium genius who reborn after the calamity was reverent and respectful in front of Ye Chuan. On one hand, he had goodwill towards this Big Disciple and also felt grateful to Ye Chuan for saving him at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss; on the other hand, he sincerely admired Ye Chuan. In the last battle, Ye Chuan had lost, but he lost honorably. Losing to Half-Sage realm State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was not disgraceful. He fought many experts that had higher cultivation realm than him and defeated 200,000 strong soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty, this was true capability! If any other disciple was in his place, then they might have either surrendered or let Da Qin Dynasty trample or would have already abandoned Cloud Mist Sect and fled for life. Nan Tiandu was ambitious and proud, and he seldom admired anyone, but he had always been reverent and respectful to Ye Chuan. This was the case in the past and now was still the same even though his cultivation base was far higher than Ye Chuan. Big Senior Apprentice Brother is Big Senior Apprentice Brother, it is not only the cultivation realm that can conquer the heart of people, courage, stratagem and behavior were even more important. This is the true charm of the strong! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother is mighty!¡± ¡°Welcome Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother is mighty!¡± The disciples came over one group after another to pay respect to Ye Chuan who had just waken up as they cheered in unison. If one said that after Ye Chuan fought in three sects¡¯ competition, suppressed the internal strife and swallow up Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, showing his courage and stratagem, he became the pillar of Cloud Mist Sect, then now, after repelling 200,000 strong army of Da Qin Dynasty, he thoroughly conquered all disciples. Now, he possessed absolute authority inside the sect. His prestige reached so high that even the prestige of Great Elder Zhu Guohong was far below him. Not a Sect Master, but like a Sect Master, or even above Sect Master! This was what Ye Chuan was in the heart of the disciples. As for Ye Chuan, he suddenly reached out to grab the heavy Iron Blooded Banner and then waved it. He had just recovered and his injuries had yet to heal completely, moreover, his body was still very weak, but, this Iron Blooded Banner which even more than ten disciples were having a hard time to carry, he lifted it alone and his killing intent soared. For a moment, he had a momentum that truly resembled the momentum of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. When he concealed the heaven in his previous life, Ye Chuan had intensively dabbled in studying many techniques of the world, so Iron Blooded Banner, this kind of weapon posed no problem for him. He even knew a lost peerless technique to wield a banner type weapons. Waving it, other than energy and pressure, it indistinctly contained a profound mystery. This technique was better than that of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, moreover, seemed to be especially tailor-made for him. With this banner in his hand, his fighting spirit was overwhelming. This in turn made Zhu Sijia worried that moving so much, his injuries might reopen. Chapter 346: General Step Chapter 346: General Step After retracting his killing intent, Ye Chuan suddenly sat down cross-legged on the spot to cultivate. Then, using a technique, a scorching hot flame appeared at the center of his palm to refine Iron Blooded Banner in his hand. After a little while, he opened his mouth and this huge banner shrunk, becoming smaller, then changing into a red light, it entered into the mouth of Ye Chuan. Although he had recovered to some extent, his injuries had yet to heal completely, still, Ye Chuan began to refine Iron Blooded Banner. Now, he sat still while circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body to completely refine this banner. Seeing this, Nan Tiandu, Fatty Zhao Dazhi and others quietly retreated. Zhu Sijia also left after reluctantly looking at Ye Chuan. She still had to deal with the aftermath. Although the storm had passed, there were still many matters to deal with. First, she needed to handle the matter of repairing damaged battle formations and restrictions, had to recruit disciples to replenish the missing places and closely scout the movement of all sides. On the summit, only Little Long¡¯er remained to help guard Ye Chuan. He sat cross-legged at one side and watch every move of Ye Chuan. A fine and continuous pure worldly spiritual qi descended from heaven and seeped into the body of Ye Chuan, then the damaged meridians and injuries began to slowly take a turn for the better. What¡¯s more, his physical body became even tougher compared to before when he was uninjured. His physical body was being strengthened. Ye Chuan took out that Incense Jade left behind by Extinction Taoist and burned it. And in the midst of the fragrance of Incense Jade, his spirit was refreshed and he recovered even faster, moreover, Iron Blooded Banner in his dantian gradually moved and began to fuse with the qi cyclone which had yet to take a form. He didn¡¯t know how long it took, perhaps, an hour, or perhaps, several days, a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman gradually took shape. Iron Blooded Banner Talisman! After completely refining the big killing weapon Iron Blooded Banner left behind by State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, Ye Chuan who was already well-prepared condensed a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman, moreover, he made a breakthrough to Rank 3 Daoist Master realm at the same time. Little Long¡¯er who was sitting cross-legged not far away to guard Ye Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Chuan in surprise. He had stayed behind to guard Ye Chuan, but smelling the fragrance of Incense Jade, he fell into a daze, entering a kind of profound cultivating state. He felt like he was deeply immersed in the special cultivating world of Demonic Dragon Clan and also like falling asleep. Only when a wave of energy fluctuation emitted by Ye Chuan caused his clothing to make fluttering sounds, he was startled awake. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, he¡­¡­, his injuries are completely healed, moreover, did he make a breakthrough? Little Long¡¯er was excited and found this somewhat inconceivable. The injuries of Ye Chuan was very severe. Second Elder Nangong Ren had personally come to examine and he had said that Ye Chuan might not recover fully, or even will not be able to fight hereafter. This weighted the mind of people and they even more didn¡¯t dare to tell the matter of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia to Ye Chuan. These past few days, Zhu Sijia had been crying behind the eyes of everyone, and Little Long¡¯er was also feeling sad in his heart. But who would have thought that Ye Chuan completely recovered so quickly, moreover, had made a breakthrough. What kind of heaven-defying technique did Ye Chuan grasp, his physical body was too fierce and his recovering ability was also super strong. Or, after refining Iron Blooded Banner left behind by State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, did he obtain the benefit beyond the imagination of everyone? Little Long¡¯er stood up and decided to immediately tell this good news first to Zhu Sijia. But just when he was about to turn away, he suddenly saw an even more shocking scene. Ye Chuan stood up and opening his mouth, he spat out a small banner to his palm. Next, this banner got bigger, one meters, two meters¡­¡­.. It quickly expanded to more than ten meters long. Just one side of the banner was like a tall wall. Its fluttering sounds was just like the war-drum of the battlefield. This sound could accelerate the heartbeat of people. ¡°I, as a General, keep off my enemies, General one step, kill countless enemies!¡± Ye Chuan shouted and suddenly waving the banner in his hand, he took a step forward. Whoosh, a huge rock that weighted several tens of thousands jin was sent flying. ¡°General second step, ghost wails!¡± Now, Ye Chuan swept and again took a step forward. Honglong, a deep ravine appeared in the front. The might of Iron Blooded Banner in the hand of Ye Chuan was unstoppable at this moment! ¡°General third step, Peerless Buddhist Pagoda!¡± ¡°General fourth step¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Ye Chuan shouted as he cultivated at the top of the mountain, displaying a long lost peerless technique, General Step. More than ten thousand jin Iron Blooded Banner which even a dozen ordinary disciples found difficult to lift, Ye Chuan was handling it with ease. When it was heavy, it was like a huge mountain that could collapse mountain and crack earth. When it was light, it was like a wind and cloud. After cultivating for seven days, he was completely recovered and had condensed a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. Moreover, he could display the true power of Iron Blooded Banner, freely using the peerless technique, General Step, he had mastered in his previous life. This technique was an extraordinary technique which used a banner as the weapon. According to the legend, a very long time ago, a peerless expert who called himself General Sage left behind this technique. Unlike other Sages, General Sage once was a brave soldier of an army. He relied on his military merit to promote to General, and his cultivation also rose gradually and one day, he broke through to Sage realm, becoming the first soldier to step into Sage realm. His life cultivation technique was called General Step, and its attack power was famous for being very powerful and ferocious. General Sage relied on this technique to defeat experts who were even more powerful than himself, making a name for himself in Wilderness World. In his previous life, Ye Chuan had no chance to meet General Sage. When he had risen to prominence and controlled the entire Wilderness World, General Sage had already disappeared from the scene. Some said that he was killed by several ancient Sages and some said that he had ripped the void with his banner and went to the world beyond the highest heaven. General Step, Ye Chuan had seized this technique from a great devil, and after comprehending it, he had like it quite a bit. Unfortunately, he had already grasped many techniques of his life cultivation technique Heaven Concealing Secrets, so he didn¡¯t cultivate it deeply at that time. In this life, re-cultivating from the scratch, he accidentally obtained Iron Blooded Banner, this big killing weapon, thus, Ye Chuan quickly recalled this peerless technique General Step and he began cultivating on the spot. In an instant, along with soaring killing intent, he swept, hit, stabbed¡­¡­, all moves were very violent without exception. Ye Chuan madly danced holding more than ten thousand jin heavy banner in the midst of cold wind. Seeing this, the blood of Little Long¡¯er boiled. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, come, let¡¯s see whether your Demonic Dragon Physique is powerful or my banner is more ferocious!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly turned around and pointed at Little Long¡¯er standing at one side with Iron Blooded Banner. ¡°Okay, big brother, be careful!¡± Little Long¡¯er roared and transforming into a demonic dragon, he rushed towards Ye Chuan. It was better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously, he also wanted to see what kind of realm Ye Chuan had reached this time! In addition, he also wanted to test how much power Ye Chuan could draw from this Iron Blooded Banner left behind by State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng! Chapter 347: The battle of brothers Chapter 347: The battle of brothers Whoosh! Iron Blooded Banner whistled towards the back of Little Long¡¯er. Ye Chuan had told to fight because he wanted to test the might of General Step. So, he naturally used only 30% of his strength, he didn¡¯t seriously use the full strength of 8 Heaven Swallowing Talismans. Little Long¡¯er suddenly accelerated. His speed was sufficiently fast and he suddenly rose once again to dodge the attack of Ye Chuan. The heavy banner smashed down hitting only the afterimage of Little Long¡¯er. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, here I come!¡± Little Long¡¯er stretched out his claw and clawed towards Ye Chuan. His five fingers were bent like a hook, like that, if his claw was to hit Ye Chuan, then a large piece of his skin and flesh would be torn out. ¡°Come!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly changed his move. His previous chopping down move changed into sweeping and the heavy banner hit the left side of Little Long¡¯er. At this instant, the wrist of Ye Chuan felt numb and the flagpole vibrated with a buzzing sound. As for Little Long¡¯er, he was sent flying, but he suddenly circled around and returned without any injury. The first collision was evenly matched. Iron Blooded Banner was strong, but the demonic dragon physique of Little Long¡¯er was also especially fierce. ¡°Okay, come again!¡± Ye Chuan jumped towards the sky as he suddenly stabbed his banner towards Little Long¡¯er like a spear. This time, he increased his power to 50%. Little Long¡¯er took this head-on. His speed was astonishing just as in the past. Seeing the Iron Blooded Banner was about to pierce him, he instantly rolled about and brushed past the flagpole towards Ye Chuan. The eyes of Ye Chuan shone. He also didn¡¯t retreat. He took advantage of this occasion to wield this flagpole downward. Since Little Long¡¯er was already close at hand and a violent energy erupted all of a sudden, Little Long¡¯er was sent flying once again as he was caught unprepared. Roar! Little Long¡¯er held his head high and roared, then he flew back again with increased fighting spirit. Unfortunately, no matter which angle he rushed forward from and no matter how fast he was, he was always hit. He was even unable to approach Ye Chuan as the Iron Blooded Banner would stop him. Ye Chuan brandishing the heavy and huge Iron Blooded Banner was like an impregnable fortress. Attacking rashly, not only the attack of Little Long¡¯er failed, on the contrary, Iron Blooded Banner would hit him flying. Fortunately, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t use his full strength and used just 50% of his strength, otherwise, Little Long¡¯er would have his flesh badly mingled. The physical body of Demonic Dragon Clan was doughty, unfortunately, Little Long¡¯er was still too young. For an adult Demonic Dragon who had lived for a long time, Little Long¡¯er was just an infant. He was far from being able to display the true might of their race¡¯s innate skills. In Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, just relying on doughty body, he was able to fight evenly with Ye Chuan and even was able to easily withstand the corrosion of poisonous mist; but now, with Ye Chuan condensing eighth Heaven Swallowing Talisman and breaking through to Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, Little Long¡¯er was clearly not his opponent. The fierce battle at the peak quickly alarmed everyone. Zhu Sijia, fatty and others rushed over in succession. And seeing Ye Chuan had recovered completely, everyone was endlessly relieved. Especially Zhu Sijia, she felt that it was worthwhile for her to endure the hardship and tiredness of these past few days. Moreover, seeing the might of Iron Blooded Banner in the hands of Ye Chuan, everyone couldn¡¯t help but simultaneously took a deep breath. General Step, no one including Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes had ever heard nor seen this kind of distinctive and ferocious technique before. Iron Blooded Banner, after this big killing weapon fell into the hands of Ye Chuan, its might was still vaguely at the same level when it was still in the hands of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. Not to mention Little Long¡¯er, even peak Daoist Master realm expert Old Demon of Mount Yin would have a bad end facing current Ye Chuan. Little Long¡¯er suddenly stopped and grasp for breath. After the fierce battle, Ye Chuan who was holding this over 100,000 jin heavy Iron Blooded Banner didn¡¯t look to be tired, Little Long¡¯er however was too tired to even get angry. Such ferocious attacks were taxing, but it also relied on the endurance and control. If the control wasn¡¯t good, then the same attack might cost double the physical strength. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was not up to much, only was Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, but his physical strength, endurance and control were astonishing. He was far better than other cultivators in the same realm in those aspects. At that time, a powerful dragon roar came from the direction of Evil Dragon Abyss. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I am coming!¡± The voice of Nan Tiandu resounded as a fiery red huge dragon flew over. Even though his body was over a thousand meter long, his speed was astonishingly fast. ¡°Hahaha, well, junior brother Tiandu, today, we brothers should fight three hundred rounds!¡± Ye Chuan laughed heartily and circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, his energy fluctuation rose sharply. Nan Tiandu wasn¡¯t a young dragon like Little Long¡¯er. He however had fused with an evil dragon that had been trapped inside Evil Dragon Abyss for unknown numbers of years, and his current cultivation was a step better than Old Demon of Mount Yin. Fighting with him, he didn¡¯t need to hold back, he could go all out, and Ye Chuan just happened to want to test the might of General Step without holding back. Honglonglong, an ear-deafening sound resounded in the ears of everybody. Nan Tiandu not only had a huge body, but his speed was also fast. He quickly arrived at the summit where Ye Chuan was located. Ye Chuan held his head high and roared as he held Iron Blooded Banner high. Then taking one step, the banner in his hand vibrated issuing a buzzing sound; taking another step, the banner issued sounds that resembled wardrums making people¡¯s blood boil; taking the third step, Iron Blooded Banner swept like lightning, hitting towards Nan Tiandu. Bang, a loud explosion sound resounded as if two mountains had collided. The banner in the hand of Ye Chuan bounced back and bent to almost 90 degrees, moreover, the web between the thumb and forefinger of Ye Chuan tore and blood began to ooze out. As for Nan Tiandu, he let out a muffled groan and was forced back quite far away, but there were no visible injuries. If Little Long¡¯er was in his place, then a large chunk of his dragon body would have been badly mangled. ¡°General Second Step, Gods and Ghosts Wails!¡± Ye Chuan was so overbearing that he ignored that he was bleeding and took a step forward. Then, lifting the heavy Iron Blooded Banner high, he smashed down ferociously. Roar! Nan Tiandu roared again. He didn¡¯t dodge instead received it head-on. A strong invisible shockwave suddenly spread all around. Zhu Sijia and others who were standing at one side watching the battle found it hard to stand. They were nearly sent flying off the cliff by just this shockwave. Fatty Zhao Dazhi found it even more unbearable, he was sent flying, but the instant when he was about to fall off the cliff, Old Demon of Mount Yin caught him and pulled him back. After that, the disciples who had rushed over after hearing the news to watch this battle retreated far away in succession. ¡°Junior brother Tiandu, be careful!¡± Ye Chuan paused and circulating eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he flew forward again. Nan Tiandu also didn¡¯t shrink back, he also rushed forward to confront the tough with toughness. This time, even more powerful shockwave erupted. The air above this peak rippled and distorted, seemingly, the void was about to tear creating a time and space rift. The huge dragon body of Nan Tiandu was suddenly sent flying one thousand meters and a clear bloody scar appeared on his head. Ye Chuan was also sent flying back, he was barely able to stop at the edge of the cliff, and with the support of Iron Blooded Banner, he half knelt at the edge of the cliff, gasping for breath. Circulating eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans, the strength of 144,000 jin had suddenly erupted, but he was still unable to defeat Nan Tiandu. Ye Chuan was surprised in his heart, experiencing the strength of Nan Tiandu after his rebirth. At the same time, Nan Tiandu was even more surprised. What was the cultivation base of Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan? He was just a Rank 3 Daoist Master realm but already was this powerful, when he breakthrough to peak Daoist Master realm, who can be his opponent below Half-Sage realm experts? These two brothers were two of a kind, they were mutually shocked and admired each other. Nan Tiandu won in terms of the doughtiness of body and cultivation, and Ye Chaun won with big killing weapon in his hand! Chapter 348: Bitter cultivating at the summit of a mountain Chapter 348: Bitter cultivating at the summit of a mountain ¡°Okay, stop fighting.¡± Seeing Ye Chuan and Nan Tiandu were about to fight again, Zhu Sijia quickly rushed over and shouted. She was worried that they would be unable to control themselves. At the level of these two people, accidentally losing their control, they might fatally injure the other. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I have a news.¡± Zhu Sijia added another sentence. This sentence quickly made the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan calm down and he quickly walked over and asked, ¡°Jiajia, what¡¯s the news?¡± Although the storm had already passed and Cloud Mist Sect was temporarily safe, but Ye Chuan still cared about every move of Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect. The current Cloud Mist Sect was far from being strong enough, so they needed to be cautious. ¡°The news of State Teacher withdrawing and return to the capital without destroying our Cloud Mist Sect has shocked the court and the commons. They said that some were already impeaching State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng saying he abused his position for personal gain and didn¡¯t fulfill his duty. And there are already some ministers that advice to again dispatch more troops to destroy our Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Zhu Sijia paused and went on to say, ¡°Meanwhile, among the people, rumors have been rising from all direction in Heavenly Fire Continent questioning the national power of Da Qin Dynasty. Some places with somewhat weak guard even revolted against the rule of Da Qin Dynasty. As for the nobles, they are secretly looking on from the sidelines. Although they took no action and didn¡¯t join the ranks of rebellion, the undercurrent is surging. It is said that nobles have secretly joined hands to establish an alliance, secretly discussing to rebel together against Da Qin Dynasty.¡± Zhu Sijia had dispatched many disciples to gather information in all directions and they gathered all kinds of information in time. Even if Da Qin Dynasty wanted to come, will they be able to dispatch the army? Fatty Zhao Dazhi, Little Long¡¯er and others stayed silent. Cloud Mist Sect had obtained the time to take a breather with great difficulty. If Da Qin Dynasty stages a comeback, then perhaps, Cloud Mist Sect would truly fall. ¡°This is a good news.¡± Ye Chuan slowly said. Although his heart was also somewhat heavy, his insights were far above Fatty, Little Long¡¯er and others. ¡°The army has to come from afar, every time they went to war, they would consume a lot of national power. Failing once, Da Qin King will not easily come again. The territory of Da Qin Dynasty is vast and looks very powerful, but with large numbers of nobles, it actually is also crisis-ridden. Now, facing the misgivings of nobles and shocked imperial court and the common people, Da Qin King should have a headache.¡± The thinking of Ye Chuan was clear. Seeing through the surface matter, he grasp the essence, analyzing and deducing the movement of Da Qin Dynasty. Da Qin King was overweeningly ambitious and he wanted to dip his finger in cultivating sects, but the secular world was his foundation. With numerous nobles shaking the foundation, he would not easily dispatch the troops to suppress cultivating sects. If there truly was an alliance of nobles, then Da Qin King should be having a headache. At this moment, he couldn¡¯t easily come back to attack Cloud Mist Sect, this hard bone. And to attack other cultivating sects, he needed to find a plausible reason. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, then what should we do now? Furthermore¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia was somewhat restless as she added, ¡°Furthermore, even though it has already been so long, there is no news of my grandfather. Was he imprisoned by Da Qin King or did he run into some danger?¡± The danger of Cloud Mist Sect had passed for the time being and Zhu Sijia recalled the matter of her grandfather who had gone to the capital to meet Da Qin King. She was worried about his safety. In this period of time, she had been sending people to inquire about any news of her grandfather but she got nothing. ¡°Jiajia, you should continue focusing on the matter of the sect. Post a notice of recruitment in the cities around Cloud Mist Mountain Range and recruit talents.¡± The gaze of Ye Chuan swept through the people present and his gaze rested on Horn Demon Na Gusi, then taking off Dark Underworld Ring he was wearing, he instructed, ¡°Na Gusi, take this Dark Underworld Ring and go to the capital, then think of a way to infiltrate into Long family, one of the three major aristocratic families of the capital.¡± ¡°Your Excellency, you want me to disguise as a Dark Underworld Emissary?¡± Horned Demon Na Shusi quickly understood the meaning of Ye Chuan. ¡°Yes, to be precise, disguising as Exploiter Hu, join other Dark Underworld Emissaries. If I am not wrong, then other Dark Underworld Emissaries should have already infiltrated into Long family. You should be careful, don¡¯t easily show your true appearance. Other than joining the ranks of other Dark Underworld Emissaries, you have another mission, think of a way to inquire about the news of Great Elder Zhu Guohong.¡± Ye Chuan instructed. After encountering the experts of Long family in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, he understood that Dark Underworld Emissaries had already infiltrated into Long family and there was already the sign of stirring up trouble. Although Exploiter Hu had already died, Dark Underworld Archfiend still existed. He was probably even more terrifying lurking danger compared to Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect. He must think of a way to deal with it as quickly as possible. Horned Demon Na Gusi was a demonic cultivator and his cultivation of Nine Demonic Transformation Secrets had reached a profound level. Now he could transform all the time. No one was more suitable than him to sneak into the capital and gather the news. ¡°Okay, this subordinate obey your command.¡± Horned Demon Na Gusi bent and accepted the orders, then transformed into a skinny old man from three meters tall fellow with horns. After that, he wore that Dark Underworld Ring in the index finger of his right hand. Now, on his left chest, he had a black tattoo. His current appearance was exactly the same as Exploiter Hu. ¡°Not bad, Dark Underworld Ring can not only disguise your identity, rotating it, you can also use a trump card at the critical moment to save your life. Don¡¯t forget this, now, go.¡± Ye Chuan looked and nodded his head. Horned Demon Na Gusi rotated the ring and a dark fog indistinctly appeared outside his body. In the midst of this dark fog, skeletons, specters and so on evil spirits condensed. Then, with a thought, the black fog and evil spirits dispersed with the wind, and even the Dark Underworld Ring he had worn also disappeared. It was very mysterious. ¡°This subordinate is leaving, take care of yourself, Your Excellency.¡± After repeatedly testing Dark Underworld Ring, Horned Demon Na Gusi flew away, the activating the transfer formation of Cloud Mist Sect, he went to the capital. ¡°Well, everyone can leave and do what they should do.¡± Ye Chuan looked at disciples who had rushed over to watch the battle and indifferently instructed. After that, he raised Iron Blooded Banner and looked at it. With the addition of General Step and Iron Blooded Banner, his fighting power had reached beyond his expectation. With just condensing eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans and reaching Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, he had this kind of fighting power, what would happen if he condenses ninth Heaven Swallowing Talisman? With big killing weapon Iron Blooded Banner in his hand, Ye Chuan was looking forward to his next cultivation. In his previous life, He cultivated Heaven Concealing Secrets and concealed the heaven, in this life, he gave up Heaven Concealing Secrets, instead chose to cultivate Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets he had obtained in God Burial Valley, and this cultivation technique truly didn¡¯t disappoint him. Every time he condensed a Heaven Swallowing Talisman, it increased his strength by 18,000 jin. After cultivating and condensing all 108,000 Heaven Swallowing Talismans, what kind of existence he would become? Ye Chuan who once dominated the entire Wilderness World also was unable to imagine. Now, Ye Chuan began to cultivate again without any worries. With Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Flame Devil, Nan Tiandu and other powerful followers, now, he could practically no longer concern himself with the specific matters of Cloud Mist Sect, so he began to concentrate in cultivating. Battling against State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, he was severely injured and nearly lost his life, but he had also gained many benefits. The most immediate benefit was, now, Ye Chuan was able to get a clear understanding of the gap between himself and pinnacle experts of current Wilderness World.So, he made determined effort in cultivation. Chapter 349: Huainanzi Chapter 349: Huainanzi A cold wind whistled as Ye Chuan cultivated bitterly by himself at the summit. During the day, he bitterly cultivated General Step and Iron Blooded Banner, gradually merging them with Cyan Feather Technique, Peerless Style Technique and so on other techniques. Now, his attack power was much more powerful and elegant, moreover, was very changeable with the mixture of truth and falsehood. In the evening, Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the summit, comprehending the natural law and mystery of heaven and earth. During daytime, he cultivated his body and at night, he cultivated his mind. Day by day, his cultivation progressed step by step. Seven days later, when Zhu Sijia came to the summit again, the cultivation realm of Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t changed, he was still at Rank 3 Daoist Master realm and still had eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, but his temperament was different to some extent compared to several days ago. He appeared to have gotten thinner, but his spirit was even more vigorous. His shiny eyes unconsciously made people secretly fearful and gave them a kind of unfathomable feeling. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, honored guests have arrived at Cloud Mist Mountain Range, they pointed out that they wanted to meet you.¡± Zhu Sijia said. ¡°Oh, who?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised. Since Cloud Mist Sect unified Cloud Mist Mountain Range and overcame more than 200,000 strong army of Da Qin Dynasty, guests had come to pay a visit in an endless stream. There were local tyrants of the cities in the nearby prefectures of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, there were cultivators including uncommon loose cultivators, and there were also deacons and elders of some small sects. Everyone requested to see Ye Chuan but Zhu Sijia stopped all of them and made them return. However, this time, Zhu Sijia not only didn¡¯t stop them and made them return, she personally came to notify him, who were the guests this time? ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Zhu Sijia answered making Ye Chuan even more surprise. She paused and continued, ¡°But, the cultivation of those three is very powerful, even Flame Devil was unable to stop them. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was barely adequate. Now, Nan Tiandu is keeping them out.¡± The cultivation realm of Flame Devil was already pretty good. Generally, the elder of some small sects didn¡¯t necessarily have this kind of capability, moreover, to be able to fight on equal terms against Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, they were definitely experts, peak Daoist Master realm great experts! ¡°No need to stop them, invite them to Cloud Mist Hall.¡± Ye Chuan put away Iron Blooded Banner and walk down the mountain. After hearing Zhu Sijia, his interest was aroused, he wished to know who they were. Not long after, Zhu Sijia arrived at Cloud Mist Hall with three uninvited guests. Walking in the front was a youngster who looked like a scholar. He was handsome and confident, merely, he was a bit thinner, thus, he looked as if he had a poor health. Behind, two old men followed him one on the left and the other on the right.The old man on the left was very short. He was half a head shorter than even Little Long¡¯er, but his physical body was robust and was rounded like a rubber ball. The old man on the right was almost exactly the opposite. He was tall and thin. He was like a thin bamboo pole that would be blown away by the wind. These one tall and one short old men appeared not up to much, but their energy fluctuation was vast and mighty. Even compared to Old Demon of Mount Yin, they were not any inferior, clearly were two peak Daoist Master realm experts. As for the first youngster, it seems his body was weak and he didn¡¯t cultivate, but the aura he unconsciously emitted secretly surprised Ye Chuan. He was also an expert. ¡°Huainanzi Zhao Ying have seen noble son Ye.¡± The youth entered Cloud Mist hall in all smiles and cupping his hands before his chest, he greeted, ¡°All said that Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple of this generation noble son Ye is a prominent talent, it seems that is truly not false.¡± ¡°Noble son must be joking, please.¡± Ye Chuan made the gesture of please sit down then quietly waited. This youth who called himself Huainanzi elegantly sat down and began self-introduction. As it turned out, this youth that appeared nothing special to look at nevertheless was the son of Da Qin Dynasty¡¯s Huainan Hou, Zhao Ying. People called him noble son Huainan and Huainanzi for short. There were many nobles in Da Qin Dynasty and Huainan Hou was one of them. But, he had always been low-keyed and he wasn¡¯t particularly outstanding among nobles, still, when all was said and done, he was a noble, he had a large territory in the vicinity of the east sea and had countless subjects. ¡°As it turned out you are the noble son of Huainan Hou, excuse me for my lack of manners.¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised and sizing up Huainanzi Zhao Ying, he said, ¡°Noble son Zhao, I wonder what noble matter brought you here from afar.¡± When the court and the people were shaken and nobles were ready to make troubles, the son of old gentleman Hou came to their door, this was rather too suspicious. Could it be that the other party wants to pull Cloud Mist Sect to their side and stage a rebellion against Da Qin Dynasty? Ye Chuan was calm and collected on the surface but was secretly deducing the intentions of this Huainanzi Zhao Ying. ¡°Noble son Ye is young and promising, leading just several thousand disciples, you overcame over 200,000 fierce army of Da Qin Dynasty, that is truly amazing. I wonder is noble son is interested to¡­¡­¡± Huainanzi Zhao Ying shook the fan in his hand and smiled without finishing his words. Here it comes! Sure enough, he wanted to tie Cloud Mist Sect to the battle chariots of nobles and wanted him to join that something noble alliance! Ye Chuan sneered in his heart and said: ¡°Sorry, not interested.¡± Nobles wanted to revolt against the might of Da Qin Dynasty and even wanted to replace them, thus, they aspired to pull cultivating sects to their sides and oppose powerful Da Qin King together. Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t have the slightest interest and he was also not stupid enough to work as butcher¡¯s knife of nobles. If Da Qin Dynasty was in imminent danger and was in a hopeless situation, he didn¡¯t mind trampling overweeningly ambitious Da Qin King so that he would never be able to rise again, but it was absolutely impossible for him, Ye Chuan, to lead Cloud Mist Sect to jump on out first. Huainanzi Zhao Ying was dumbfounded and he awkwardly smiled. Although he was already prepared for rejection, he had never imagined that Ye Chuan would reject so directly. The complexion of two old men standing behind him became cold, then snorting, they took a step forward as they emitted powerful energy fluctuation to threaten people. They didn¡¯t even make one remark to get along well and showed the momentum to attack. ¡°Old fellows, do you two want to fight?¡± Nan Tiandu gave tit-for-tat. As for Zhu Sijia and others, they pulled out their swords. The atmosphere suddenly became tense and the battle might break out at any moment. ¡°Noble son Ye, your followers truly have a fiery temper.¡± Huainanzi shook his head and make a wry smile. He had a helpless appearance, but he secretly signaled two old fellows to retreat. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s incorrigible, all of them have a fiery temper, one more than others. Granted that they have a fiery temper, unexpectedly, how come they don¡¯t understand that there is also the danger of something going wrong?¡± Ye Chuan also shook his head and he said, ¡°That, Rhodes, still not going to the entrance of the hall and block up all the route of retreats for me. How many times do I have to say, use your head when handling matters. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t attack, but once you attack, you absolutely cannot let the enemy have a route of retreat.¡± ¡°Kakaka, Your Excellency is wise!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and flew over to block up the door of Cloud Mist Hall. And outside the door, countless vines sprang out from underground, surrounding three laps around Cloud Mist Hall. Moreover, numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect hurried over and tightly surrounded Cloud Mist Hall. Now, if Huainanzi and other two weren¡¯t as powerful as State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, they would be unable to escape even if given wings. The complexion of Huainanzi Zhao Ying and other two changed. ¡°Noble son Ye, this is¡­¡­¡± Cold sweats appeared on the forehead of Huainanzi Zhao Ying as he was caught unprepared. ¡°Noble son Zhao, as a matter of a fact, my temper is also very explosive and even fierier compared to them. So, properly manage your two followers.¡± Ye Chuan said as he sized up Huainanzi Zhao Ying and others with a smile yet not a smile. This moment, those two overbearing old fellows who considered themselves the best in the world instantly became obedient like little sheep and no longer dare to utter a word. Chapter 350: Heroic Alliance Chapters 350: Heroic Alliance ¡°Well, noble son Zhao, you must have something to say since you come from afar, what do you want? Speak the key points, it¡¯s that simple. If you want me to join your something noble alliance and oppose the might of Da Qin Dynasty together, then you can leave without saying anything.¡± Ye Chuan occupied the commanding position and indifferently said looking at Huainanzi Zhao Ying and other two. At this time, he showed the strength of Cloud Mist Sect to give these three a bit of pressure. Ye Chuan was not interested in joining with these nobles and also didn¡¯t want to offend the overlords of these places. The current Cloud Mist Sect was still far from reaching the state where it could influence the overall situation. ¡°Noble son Ye, misunderstanding, you are misunderstanding.¡± This time, Huainanzi Zhao Ying also didn¡¯t speak in a roundabout way, he directly came to the point, ¡°This time, I, Huainanzi, came not to invite you to join the noble alliance. This time, I came to Cloud Mist Sect not on my behalf, but have come to invite you to join Heroic Alliance. These two seniors behind me are also not the people of Huainan prefecture, rather the experts of Heroic Alliance.¡± ¡°Oh, Heroic Alliance?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised. ¡°Yes, Heroic Alliance.¡± Huainanzi Zhao Ying was somewhat excited as he said, ¡°Unlike noble alliance, we don¡¯t want to gather together the nobles of everywhere, rather want to gather together all heroes that could march through Wilderness World unhindered to establish the most powerful alliance since the beginning of the history.¡± ¡°Then what is your purpose?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Revolting might.¡± Huainanzi Zhao Ying answered. Ye Chuan shook his head, ¡°Then, what is the difference between your alliance and noble alliance? Isn¡¯t it all to revolt against Da Qin Dynasty?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s totally different.¡± Huainanzi Zhao Ying looked at Ye Chuan and said agitatedly, ¡°All nobles have their own thoughts, all have the ambition to replace Da Qin King and govern the country. This noble alliance is destined to be short-lived. Overthrowing one Da Qin King, next Da Qin King will appear. In this aspect, all nobles are the same even including my father, there is no difference. Heroic Alliance however is different, its objective is to fight against all power. This power can be Da Qin King, can be a cruel and ferocious noble and also might be a peak expert that came from the world beyond the highest heaven! If we don¡¯t cooperate, then one day in the future, this Heavenly Fire Continent would become the territory of the experts of the world beyond the highest heaven and all those people living in this continent will be oppressed and exploited.¡± ¡°Noble son Zhao, are you saying that the tentacles of the world beyond the highest heaven¡¯s powers have already extended to Heavenly Fire Continent?¡± Ye Chuan asked sensing the true meaning of Huainanzi Zhao Ying. ¡°Yes.¡± Huainanzi Zhao Ying didn¡¯t deny. ¡°Who are they?¡± Ye Chuan questioned closely suddenly recalling that mysterious and incomparably powerful Dark Underworld Archfiend as well as Dark Underworld Emissary Exploiter Hu who had been stirring up troubles in Cloud Mist Mountain Range. ¡°Speaking as examples, mysterious Dark Underworld Archfiend, graceful at first glance Ethical Sage, furthermore, mysterious Great Compassionate Buddha.¡± The tone of Huainanzi Zhao Ying was heavy as he added, ¡°Noble son Ye, your Cloud Mist Sect is content to hold a small part of the territory in southern border, and rarely have any contact with other sects and nobles. So, perhaps, you don¡¯t know some matters. As a matter of a fact, Wilderness World is far more complicated, dangerous and chaotic than our imagination. We, Heroic Alliance, have discovered many powers of the world beyond the highest heaven. All sorts of signs clearly state that the wilderness great calamity which happens once every 100,000 years is about to come. When that time comes, the heaven and earth will be unstable and many time and space rifts will appear in this world and unknown numbers of experts and evil spirits of the world beyond the highest heaven will pass through those time and space passages. At that time, no matter whether that is the cultivating sects or secular world, everything will be suffer a catastrophe.¡± Huainanzi Zhao Ying said astounding secrets in heavy tone. At present, only a handful of people of some great powers knew this secret, but the situation was getting more and more serious and the forces that were aware of this secret were beginning to let others know. Ye Chuan became silent and was shocked in his heart. Hearing the words of Huainanzi Zhao Ying, he understood that after he was trapped in God Burial Valley millions of years ago, Wilderness World had many unknown changes. At that time when he concealed the heaven, there were also some time and space rifts, but it wasn¡¯t so complicated, where was that something calamity of once every 100,000 years? ¡°Noble son Ye, you don¡¯t believe it, do you?¡± Seeing Ye Chuan was silent, Huainanzi Zhao Ying was quite disappointed. ¡°Believe, the words of noble son Zhao, how can I not believe?¡± Ye Chuan smiled but he didn¡¯t express whether he will join this alliance or not. The eyes of Huainanzi Zhao Ying shone as he asked, ¡°Noble son Ye, then you agree? With your cultivation and identity, joining our Heroic Alliance, you will definitely become a great hero of our alliance.¡± ¡°Noble son Zhao, I am sorry, I believe you, unfortunately, I am not interested to join your alliance for the moment. You suddenly come from afar, so I wasn¡¯t able to prepare you any gifts, so I can just give you some bags of this special tea of Cloud Mist Mountain Range.¡± Ye Chuan directly refused the invitation of Huainanzi Zhao Ying and lightly clapping his hands, a disciple carrying a box of first-class Cloud Mist Camellia walked over and placed it in front of Huainanzi Zhao Ying. ¡°Okay, noble son Ye, then we will take a leave, I will not disturb you any longer.¡± Huainanzi Zhao Ying stood up and turned to leave after cupping his hands. But, when he was just about to exit Cloud Mist Hall, he suddenly turned around and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, before leaving, I will tell you an information. It is easier to avoid open attacks, but harder to guard against hidden ones, villains are most unreasonable and hard to deal with, your Cloud Mist Sect will very probably invite a disaster again not long in the future.¡± ¡°Oh, noble son Zhao, what does that mean?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly stood up. ¡°Da Qin Crown Prince, Azure Dragon Prefecture.¡± Huainanzi Zhao Ying said six words and left with his followers, but his voice again came from afar, ¡°Noble son Ye, I wish you a good luck, Heroic Alliance cannot not have a young expert like you who have both courage and cunning. I will come again in the future.¡± The speed of Huainanzi Zhao Ying was very fast. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, only his voice reverberated through the Cloud Mist Hall. ¡°Da Qin Crown Prince, Azure Dragon Prefecture¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered, recalling that neither human nor ghost Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and instructed, ¡°Little Long¡¯er, map!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Little Long¡¯er quickly walked over and spread open a big map in front of Ye Chuan. In the north of Cloud Mist Sect, outside the layer upon layer of mountains, there was a place roughly 8000 miles away from Cloud Mist Sect. It was a large expanse of cyan land, that was the southern border, widely known as Azure Dragon Prefecture. That was the territory of another sect called Azure Dragon Sect. It had a long history, inheritance of thousands of years and its foundation was deep, moreover, it was the sect that Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, these kinds of small sects, couldn¡¯t compare. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, can he be bluffing? Is that Huainanzi Zhao Ying intentionally saying such to confuse us?¡± Zhu Sijia walked over and asked in a low voice. ¡°No, I understand Li Guang Han, he is definitely a villain that seeks revenge just for an angry look. Jiajia, you stay in Cloud Mist Sect, I will go to Azure Dragon Prefecture to take a look.¡± Ye Chuan quickly decided and calling Little Long¡¯er, he walked outside Cloud Mist Hall, then riding Little Long¡¯er who had already transformed into a demonic dragon, one human and one dragon disappeared into the horizon. Azure Dragon Sect was big and powerful. Although it was far from being comparable to overlord sects like Heavenly Yao Sect, its power was a lot greater than current Cloud Mist Sect. If this sect was truly tempted and persuaded by Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and suddenly invaded Cloud Mist Sect with full power, then that would be troublesome. So, Ye Chuan decided to personally go to Azure Dragon Prefecture and obtain the news. Furthermore, if he had an opportunity, he didn¡¯t mind killing Li Guang Han, this neither human nor ghost fellow! Chapter 351: Ye Banxian Chapter 351: Ye Banxian For an average person, he might not even be able to cover eight thousand li in a year, but for cultivators, it wouldn¡¯t take long. Towards evening, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er arrived at Azure Dragon Prefecture. This place was verdant and luxuriant with green hills and clear waters. The earth was cyan because the earth of this place had cyan sands and stones mixed in large quantities. This place had rare cyan crystal stone mineral vein of Heavenly Fire Continent that produced best quality cyan crystal stones. Unfortunately, after millions of years of mining, the mineral vein had gradually dried up. The merchants and workers of this mine however had stayed here for generations. And above the mineral veins of former days, flourishing cities and towns were built. Afterward, Azure Dragon Sect, this cultivating sect had forcibly seized the only remaining cyan crystal stone mineral vein. Azure Dragon Prefecture! Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er looked at the vast Azure Dragon Prefecture far away from a tall mountain. Then, one human and one dragon directly went to Azure Dragon City, the main city of Azure Dragon Prefecture. Little Long¡¯er didn¡¯t need to disguise himself, he just transformed into his human form. No one would pay attention to a seven or eight years old kid. As for Ye Chuan, he used Nine Demonic Transformation Technique to change his height and facial features, successfully disguising himself as an old man. Azure Dragon Prefecture was the territory of Azure Dragon Sect. This sect had a large number of experts. That villain Li Guang Han was very likely to be inside this city, so Ye Chuan was cautious. After he had given this technique, Nine Demonic Transformation Technique, to Horned Demon Na Gusi, this cultivating demon had enthusiastically cultivated day and night until he could transform freely. As for Ye Chuan, he hadn¡¯t cultivated deeply, but he didn¡¯t have any problem to transform his face. Outside the city gate, a group of soldiers strictly interrogate and examine the people that wanted to enter the city. And there was a long line of people that wanted to enter the city. Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er mixed into the crowd and slowly walked forward. Little Long¡¯er pretended to be an inexperienced child and looked all around. He was secretly observing the circumstance. As for Ye Chuan, he half-squinted his eyes and walked forward like an old and clumsy old man. He carried a rod and the other end of his rod had a piece of cloth attached on it. On the cloth, the words ¡®Ye Banxin¡¯ were written in large words. He had disguised himself as a fortune-teller. The soldiers were strict in their examination, especially towards the strangers entering the town. All of them were pulled to the front of a crystal ball and tested whether they had any spirit power within their body or not to determine whether they were cultivators or not. They didn¡¯t want people hiding their power with evil plans entering the town. There were some wandering hunters who considered themselves to be strong and they could cross the sea by a trick, the result, they were quickly found out, then a group of Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s disciple flew over and those several hunters were beaten to half-death and were sent to prison. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, what should we do?¡± Seeing the people who had hid their strength were being picked out one after another, Little Long¡¯er got nervous. The closer they got to the gate, the more nervous he became. ¡°Don¡¯t fear, continue walking forward. Everything will be fine.¡± Ye Chuan carrying a banner placed his left hand on the body of Little Long¡¯er and slowly walked forward. The people behind were somewhat impatient and they cursed in a low voice. But, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t get angry, he just swayed weakly. ¡°Who¡¯s next, come over!¡± A soldier shouted and made Little Long¡¯er and Ye Chuan go to the front of the crystal ball to check. Little Long¡¯er became even more nervous. The energy fluctuation within their body was extraordinary. As long as their hand touches the crystal ball, the crystal ball will immediately show the reaction. Ye Chuan was calm and he gently pushed nervous Little Long¡¯er while slowly walking over. His eyes were squinted but his ears were standing erect in alert. Outside the city gate, there were over a hundred soldiers. Their cultivation base was very ordinary, only around Rank 3 Wuzhe, they couldn¡¯t even withstand a single blow; But 100 meters away, there was a group of Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s disciples. They were here to prevent hidden experts from sneaking in. Compared to these soldiers, these disciples of Azure Dragon Sect were a lot more powerful, but the cultivation of the most powerful person was only Rank 1 Daoist Master realm. If Ye Chuan truly fought with them, these disciples of Azure Dragon Sect wouldn¡¯t be able to stop them. And 1000 meters away, there were some patrolling soldiers moving back and forth, and further away, there was¡­¡­ Ye Chuan suddenly stopped and sensed several powerful auras, rapidly approaching from far away. Soon, thunder-like hoof-beats resounded, a carriage surrounded by a dozen or so cavalries was rushing towards the city gate from outside. Among the cavalries, there were some later stage Daoist Master realm experts. The energy fluctuation within their body was powerful. Moreover, there was one who was almost on par with Old Demon of Mount Yin. ¡°The Lady is returning to the city, scram, quickly scram.¡± Cavalrymen shouted loudly while brandishing a horsewhip to drove away people blocking the way. And the soldiers guarding the gate hastily spread out to two sides making a path. Little Long¡¯er pulled Ye Chuan wanting to go to one side, but even when he exerted his strength, Ye Chuan unexpectedly didn¡¯t even budge. The galloping war-horses didn¡¯t slow down and continued onwards. The cursing of cavalrymen and the scream of people resounded. The complexion of Little Long¡¯er was tense, he turned his head and looked towards the battle-horse that was about to collide against them, then prepared to attack. But a familiar voice resounded in the mind of Little Long¡¯er, ¡°Little Long¡¯er, don¡¯t move, let them hit us.¡± Ye Chuan stopped Little Longer and swayed, pretending to be nervous. He however was preparing secretly. This cavalry squad had come at the right time. The tall and robust war-horse ferociously knocked Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er flying, dripping with blood. Little Long¡¯er limbs moved, wanting to crawl up, but in the next moment, imitating the example of Ye Chuan who was lying still on the ground, he also lied still feigning death. ¡°Died, hit to death, one old and one small, grandparent and grandchild died!¡± ¡°So pitiful, even though he was so old in age, he still wandered about to calculate the fortune of others for a few silver, but the result¡­¡­¡± People shook their head in succession, and looked pitifully at Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er lying on the ground in a pool of blood. This old and young were so miserable and pitiful. The galloping cavalry squad stopped. The cavalryman in the front was still grumbling and cursing in rage. But a head popped out from inside the carriage, lifting up the curtain of the carriage. Looking at her appearance, she was a girl. She said, ¡°Old Wu, Lady instructed, immediately bring them back to the sect and save them.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± An old man at the side of the carriage bowed accepting the order. As for the cavalryman in the front, he became silent, not daring to utter a word. Someone quickly ran over and picked up Little Long¡¯er and Ye Chuan from the ground, then they quickly set off. Only after the carriage disappeared, the guards surrounded the entrance gate and kept order, then began to examine again. A small storm quickly passed. No one found this anything unusual. Seen from the outside, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er were dripping with blood and appeared to have sustained heavy injuries, but in fact, they just had some superficial wounds. Their physical body was so tough that even if ten war-horses collided against them, they wouldn¡¯t even have a fracture. And coincidentally, the guards who had picked them up had average cultivation, only Rank 6 Xiushi, they were unable to sense the hidden energy fluctuation of the two. Moreover, in a haste, no one thought to examine them carefully. Who would think that this one old and one child were hidden experts? After entering the town, the speed of the carriage didn¡¯t decrease, it rushed forward and after passing through heavy guards, they entered a lofty palace. As they passed through a huge square, Ye Chuan slightly opened his eyes and saw a towering pillar standing tall in the square. Two large words were written on them, ¡®Azure Dragon Square¡¯. Azure Dragon Square, Azure Dragon Sect? Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised. He had never expected that not only he would cross the sea by a trick, sneaking into Azure Dragon City, furthermore, he directly arrived at Azure Dragon Sect! He felt that he would very likely meet Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han very soon. Ye Chuan was a little nervous and also excited. Chapter 352: Can you feel me up a bit? Chapter 352: Can you feel me up a bit? After the entire group stopped, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er were brought to a suitable wing-room and a maid quickly arranged the bed and invited a physician. This maid was not very old, was about 16 or so in age and had a relatively small frame. She was just beginning to develop, and the pair of mountains on her bosom was small but sharp pointed and had well-proportioned shape. And listening to her voice, he could confirm that she was that girl who had spoken from inside the carriage. After an old physician with a white beard was invited, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er quickly woke up together. And after bandaging and stopping the bleeding, this old physician left behind some herbs and left. After going out, he whispered something. He had thought that Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er were seriously injured, so he had anxiously run over all the way. But the result, they had just some superficial wounds. This small amount of superficial wounds were not enough to cause someone to enter a coma according to reason, so this old physician who had practiced medicine for many years was unable to understand why these two had entered the coma. He could merely attribute to each person having different physiques, or Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er were greatly frightened. There were many experts inside Azure Dragon Sect, and there were also many odd-job men and servants. This old physician was especially responsible to examine odd-job men and servants. From the beginning to the end, not a single expert of the sect came to inspect the circumstance of Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er, not even a single sect disciple, only some maids and servants came in and out. A wandering fortune-teller basically didn¡¯t even enter the eyes of any sect disciple. If it was not for the instruction of the Lady, then no one would have brought this one old and one young into the sect, in addition, they would have lashed them as a punishment for offending the Lady. Not long after the old physician left, the servants also left in succession, and this wing-room became quiet with only Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, what should we do next?¡± Little Long¡¯er asked feeling somewhat uneasy. ¡°If there is food then eat, if there are drinks then drink, let nature take its course. Put off other matters until sometime later, at least the sky hasn¡¯t gotten dark.¡± Ye Chuan looked up at the sky outside. The sun was about to sink below the horizon and the curtain of night had not befallen yet. The sounds of footsteps came from outside, then one old and one young quickly lied on the bed. ¡°It¡¯s time for a meal, you two, get up.¡± The little maid entered the room with a serving tray full of steaming hot foods. Ye Chuan had just said that if there was food then eat, if there were drinks then drink, and in the blink of an eye, someone actually brought food. The two people got up and began eating. ¡°Grandpa, slowdown, who are you?¡± The little maid added rice and tea while asking. ¡°Fortune-teller, little girl, you can call me Old Ye or Banxian, Ye Banxian. Astronomy, feng shui, past, future, there is nothing I don¡¯t know. I can help people seek luck and avoid calamity, and also help people change their life.¡± Ye Chuan replied with the appearance of a gentleman. This little maid chuckled. If Ye Chuan was truly so powerful like he said then how could he collide with war-horse to this appearance? Still Banxian (Half Immortal), his skin was truly thick enough. Laughing was laughing, but this little maid was still somewhat curious about the fortune-telling and said, ¡°Grandpa, then help me look for my future, how are things for me in the future?¡± ¡°You will be very rich in the future, you are fated to encounter a noble person. If you carefully work hard, you will become a peak expert and it will also not be impossible to gain immortality and stay young forever.¡± Ye Chuan confidentially said as if he could see through this girl¡¯s past and present. Then, he asked, ¡°By the way, little girl, what is your noble name?¡± ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± This little maid laughed and said with a playful tone, ¡°I say Ye Banxian, you cannot even figure out my name, how did you figure out that I am destined to meet a noble person, moreover, become a peak expert, gaining immortality?¡± This little girl was very happy. She didn¡¯t have any interest in immortality and also didn¡¯t dare to think about it, but staying young forever, which woman doesn¡¯t want that? She was fully aware that Ye Chuan was telling lies, still, this little maid was happy. ¡°You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, originally was from rich and wealthy family, unfortunately, the financial situation of your family declined, and the first half of your life became bumpy with twists and turns.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t answer her question rather said slowly. Hearing these words of Ye Chuan, this little maid who was laughing suddenly stopped laughing and her eyes became red. Ye Chuan truly wasn¡¯t wrong. Originally, she was also from an old and well-known family. Her father was a high-ranking official of the royal court, but later, he offended Da Qin King and was beheaded. All her family members either died or dispersed everywhere, wandering about being homeless. She was demoted to plebeian and was banished together with her aunt to the southern border. En route, she experienced a lot of hardships. In the end, she encountered the Lady of Azure Dragon Sect and was taken in as her maid, thus, she was able to barely get by with her livelihood. Just thinking about the hardships she had suffered en route to banishment, this little girl Zhao Shuya¡¯s eyes became redder and redder, and she couldn¡¯t help bursting out in tears. She was entirely unaware that Ye Chuan was quietly sizing her up carefully. ¡°Old Ye, can you help me figure out whether my mother and big sister are still alive?¡± After crying for a while, this little maid Zhao Shuya suddenly thought about her family members she had never heard from and earnestly looked at Ye Chuan. Before, she thought that Ye Chuan was a swindler, an old swindler who swindle people with the pretense of fortune-telling. But now, she believed, she believed that Ye Chuan truly knew astronomy, feng shui, past and future. Other than to her Lady, she had never told anyone about her family background and her childhood experience, not even to anyone around her, but Ye Chuan who had met her for the first time knew this, if this wasn¡¯t the proof of his authenticity, then what? This little girl is very intelligent, unfortunately, she doesn¡¯t have enough life experience! Ye Chuan laughed up her sleeve. Although Zhao Shuya had been reduced to a maid now, her temperament cultivated from childhood absolutely wasn¡¯t something the children of poor could possess. Ye Chuan had discerned this with a glance, he hadn¡¯t truly calculated it. To calculate past life and present life of a person, one needed heaven-defying cultivation base and technique. In his previous life when he concealed the heaven, Ye Chuan might have barely tried it out, but at present, it was impossible to do. Naturally, although he didn¡¯t have cultivation base of his previous life, he still had life experience, he could easily fool a little girl who had yet to see the world. ¡°Ai, it¡¯s hard¡­, very hard¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and faintly said, ¡°As a matter of a fact, strictly speaking, I am not a fortune-teller rather a Bone Feeling Master. I need to carefully feel about the bones of a person before I can calculate his past life and present. Moreover, it is very exhausting, feeling about just once will reduce my lifespan by one year. So, generally, I just tell casually to people, I don¡¯t feel about their bones. But without feeling their bones, the calculation might not be accurate.¡± Ye Chuan pretended to be an enlightened expert. He retreated in order to advance and decided to break through the defense of this little girl Zhao Shuya and inquire about the whereabouts of Li Guan Han. Azure Dragon Sect was very big. It had at least more than ten thousand people and many palaces. Going to look for Li Guang Han in the dark, there was not much chance to find him. But if he got something out of this little maid or obtain her help, then it would be a different matter. ¡°Then¡­¡­, then Old Ye, can you feel me up a bit?¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya somewhat hesitate and said. Just feeling once would reduce his lifespan by one year, this was a great price, but, thinking about her long-separated mother and big sister, this little maid still plucked up her courage and begged. ¡°This¡­¡­, this is making things too difficult for me.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and said with an awkward appearance, ¡°I am somewhat tired at this moment, moreover, feeling from above the clothing is useless and feeling after taking off clothing is morally bad. I have already grown old, and since I have already stepped one leg into the grave, I don¡¯t mind any damage in my reputation, but little girl, you¡­¡­¡± ¡°Old Ye, help me this once, please.¡± This little girl greatly missed her close relatives, so she eagerly walked over to the bedside and lied on it while slowly undressing herself. That fair and clear skin and that exquisite figure that was just beginning to develop, seeing those, the face of Little Long¡¯er became bright red. But, even though he was embarrassed to look, he couldn¡¯t help stealing a glance from time to time. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, go out and close the door in passing.¡± Ye Chuan instructed to Little Long¡¯er. Now, even though Little Long¡¯er wanted to watch, he wasn¡¯t able to and he helplessly walked out. Inside the room, Ye Chuan who had disguised as an old man stretched out his claws and gently touched the fair and slender legs of this little maid. Chapter 353: Azure Dragon Hall Chapter 353: Azure Dragon Hall ¡°Feeling bones, one need to start from the legs, feel from the legs to the head and again from the head to the legs, completing this one Bones Feeling Heavenly Cycle, I can accurately calculate a person¡¯s past life and present life. Naturally, fate is not under the control of mortals. The calculation will be affected by many factors. If the calculation is not accurate, then one should bath, change clothes and meditate for seven days. Only after that, the next Bones Feeling Heavenly Cycle can be done again.¡± Ye Chuan said making a show of being very much in earnest while slowly pressing the right leg of this little maid Zhao Shuya. Now, standing at the bedside, Ye Chuan¡¯s left hand gently propped the right leg of this little maid and his right hand¡¯s thumb was slowly making a circle on the sole of this little maid¡¯s right leg with some strength while increasing the strength bit by bit. ¡°By the way, little girl, you still haven¡¯t told me your name. Tell me, you are the savior of this grandfather and grandson, I want to properly thank you.¡± ¡°My name is Zhao Shuya, Old Ye, you can call me Little Ya. Feeling¡­¡­, Feeling Bones also has cycles?¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya asked and breathed heavily a few times. And feeling the strength of Ye Chuan was getting stronger and stronger, she was somewhat unable to endure, but her body softened with another kind of pleasure and her mind also became somewhat blurred. Demonic Sound! Ye Chuan secretly used Demonic Sound making this little maid Zhao Shuya muddle-headed. This Feeling Bones Fortune Telling Technique was fake, his real intention was to gather information. He had made this little maid Zhao Shuya take off her clothes and help her feel about her bones were only some tricks to make her feel relax. ¡°Naturally, very long time ago, there was a sect called Feeling Bones Sect which especially helped people to read their fate by feeling their bones. Every disciple of this sect was an unfathomable great expert.¡± Ye Chuan said intentionally slowing down and his voice sounded somewhat ethereal, seemingly, coming from the distant horizon. Then, he pulled up the quilt to cover the body of this little maid that had just begun to develop. Now, this little maid Zhao Shuya was even more relaxed. This time, she completely relaxed her original embarrassment and alertness, and stretch her body, letting Ye Chuan massage her bones inch by inch as she muttered, ¡°Old Ye, really?¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s real, otherwise, how did I get my Bone Feeling Technique? Unfortunately, I just obtain an incomplete booklet, so I only know how to help people massage their bones. I don¡¯t know any other techniques of that ancient Bones Feeling Sect, otherwise¡­¡­, ai¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan softly sighed as he mixed the truth with the false. ¡°Old Ye, who exactly are you? Why did you come to Azure Dragon City?¡± This little maid Zhao Shuya asked. ¡°It¡¯s a long story, I lived in a small town outside Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Although my life was somewhat poor, my family was together and harmonious. But, unexpectedly, more than 200,000 strong soldiers suddenly came in the town a while ago, and under the command of the beast called Li Guang Han or something, they extorted excessive taxes and levies, and they would wantonly kill for even the slightest mistake. No need to mention that my ancestral home was also seized by them, they even killed my family. Just me, this old bones, and my grandson Little Long¡¯er were able to escape. That beast said that he was something Da Qin Crown Prince, but was crueler than a great devil¡­¡­¡± Following the words of this little maid, Ye Chuan began to go deep into the main subject. ¡°What, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, isn¡¯t that¡­¡­¡± The little maid cried out in alarm and then immediately closed her mouth as if worried about something. ¡°What, Little Ya, do you know him?¡± Ye Chuan asked. He was calm on the surface, but a hint of pallid light secretly flashed through his eyes. He knew that he had found the right person. ¡°Old Ye, I¡­¡­, I¡­¡­¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya stuttered and said after hesitating for a while, ¡°I am just a small maid, of course, how can I know a grand crown prince? But, two days ago, when Sect Master and Lady were having a tea, I saw them two receiving an honored guest. I heard he was Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. But, the strange thing was, although his stature was tall and sturdy, his face was covered with a strange black cloth.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t be wrong, that¡¯s him. The face of that fellow is injured. The left half of his face is of human but the right half of his face is of iron, he is neither human nor ghost, so he cannot show his face.¡± Ye Chuan sneered as he confirmed that Huainanzi Zhao Ying was correct. Li Guang Han was in Azure Dragon Prefecture, trying to persuade Azure Dragon Sect to attack Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°Little Ya, do you know where he lives?¡± ¡°All the honored guests personally received by Sect Master are arranged to stay in Azure Dragon Courtyard near Azure Dragon Hall. Old Ye, why are you asking? Da Qin Crown Prince has experts of the imperial palace around him, in addition, Azure Dragon Courtyard is a strictly guarded important place of our Azure Dragon Sect. You must not¡­¡­.¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya became anxious as she regretted speaking too much. Even a later stage Daoist Master realm expert would not be able to reach Qinlong Courtyard. If Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er, this grandfather and grandson, rushed over there, then that was just courting death. ¡°You must not court death, is it?¡± Ye Chuan paused and said, ¡°Little Ya, rest assured, we will not go to Azure Dragon Courtyard to kill Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, even if we have a mind to do that, we don¡¯t have that ability. We only hope that he suffers the consequences of his bad deeds, and hope an even more powerful expert to come and get rid of this Li Guang Han.¡± After hearing the whereabouts of Li Guang Han from the mouth of this little maid Zhao Shuya, Ye Chuan no longer spoke, just calmly massaged the bones of this little maid. He wasn¡¯t truly massaging her bones and also wasn¡¯t taking a cheap advantage of this little girl, rather using his Heaven Swallowing Talismans, he was cleansing her marrows. Now, this little maid will get twice the result with half the effort in cultivation. Not mentioning anything else, she will quickly breakthrough to Xiushi realm from her current cultivation of later stage of Wuzhe without any problem. After that, he casually said her mother and big sister were still alive and gave her a bit of hope to live. Under the effect of Demonic Sound and Marrow Cleansing, this little maid Zhao Shuya became more and more muddle-headed and sunk into a deep sleep. After that, Ye Chuan clapped his hand and Little Long¡¯er who had been waiting outside quickly pushed open the door and entered. Seeing that little maid had already fallen asleep and was properly wearing her underwear, he was somewhat surprised, ¡°Eh, still wearing underwear? Didn¡¯t¡­¡­¡± ¡°Of Couse, I didn¡¯t, Little Long¡¯er, what kind of person do you think I am?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and taking out two big bamboo hats, he threw one towards Little Long¡¯er and said, ¡°I already know the whereabouts of Li Guang Han, Little Long¡¯er, we are moving tonight, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan put on the big bamboo hat and flew outside. Behind, Little Long¡¯er followed. Two people, one in the front and the other in the back, disappeared into the night. Although Azure Dragon Sect was very big, it was easy to find Azure Dragon Hall. The dim light of the night shrouded the earth. Azure Dragon Sect covered a vast area. There were mountains, rivers and dense forest within the sect. Relying on their movement technique, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er dashed forward at high speed under the cover of the night. All along the road, they met many guards and various kind of restrictions. If an average person was in their place, then even if he was able to avoid all guards, the restrictions would have stopped and exposed them. But Ye Chuan passed unimpeded. In his previous life, he had analyzed and cracked all kinds of restrictions, ordinary restrictions were basically useless against him. They couldn¡¯t even delay him. After a little while, these two people arrived outside an especially huge and grand hall. There was a huge stone carving of an azure dragon hanging on the wall. It was very lifelike as if it would come into life at any moment. Inside the hall, it was brightly lit and several people were sitting there, discussing something. Even from far away, Ye Chuan saw the figure of Li Guang Han. Chapter 354: Azure Dragon Blade Chapter 354: Azure Dragon Blade ¡°Little Long¡¯er, provide support from outside.¡± Ye Chuan instructed and stealthily walked towards Azure Dragon Hall by himself. He discovered all restrictions along the way and quickly avoided them, but when he arrived there, a dangerous feeling rose of itself. This dangerous feeling didn¡¯t come from Li Guang Han, this old enemy, and also not from powerful Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect, rather was coming from Azure Dragon Hall itself. In particular, that azure dragon stone craving on the wall of Azure Dragon Hall, it gave a very bad feeling. it felt like an ancient existence that was coldly sizing up the intruders. This is also a kind of restriction, Azure Dragon Restriction! The sense of Ye Chuan sharp, he completely retracted his aura and energy fluctuation, then carefully sneaked in hanging upside down the eaves just like a bat, avoiding the guards outside. In Azure Dragon Hall, a man and a woman were sitting above. The man was a middle-aged burly man with a beard. His energy fluctuation was majestic and was indistinctly a bit superior to even Old Demon of Mount Yin. It seems he was the Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect. As for that woman, she was wearing a veil. Looking at her attire, she was also not young, but her noble and elegant bearing had a special charm. She should be the Lady served by the little maid Zhao Shuya. Li Guang Han was standing below and there were two valorous experts standing behind him. Their cultivation also wasn¡¯t low, it should be at least Rank 6 Daoist Master realm. ¡°Sect Master Wyvern, the matter I spoke two days ago, did you consider it?¡± Li Guang Han asked, staring at Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei. Because of his famous technique, Sect Master Long Fei was also known as Wyvern. They said that, one hundred years ago, Long Fei had once fought with a peak Daoist Master realm demonic cultivator that came from Dark Moon Continent, and the result was, the other party was unable to touch his body after exchanging 300 rounds of ferocious attacks, even his gown was untouched, thus, dejected, the other party fled back to Dark Moon Continent. ¡°Your Highness, although Cloud Mist Sect is getting worse day by day, moreover, had just experienced a large-scale war, costing them greatly, when all is said and done, they have a long inheritance, it is not something that an average small sect could compare. Wishing to destroy it in one fell swoop, you led more than 200,000 strong soldiers, but you failed, so how is it possible for my trifling Azure Dragon Sect? Difficult, very difficult¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei shook his head and tactfully refused. The status of Li Guang Han was noble, in addition, he had promised rich and generous rewards, like that, an average person absolutely wouldn¡¯t have refused his request so easily. But attacking Cloud Mist Sect, this wasn¡¯t a trivial matter, Long Fei also didn¡¯t dare to agree lightly. ¡°The reward of last time is unchanged, furthermore, the addition of one million gold, 50,000 war-horses, army provisions, weapons, armors and two thousand carriages.¡± Li Guang Han¡¯s eyes shone and promised even greater rewards. Although his face was covered with a piece of black cloth, and his face couldn¡¯t be seen, still, even if he morphed into ashes, Ye Chuan would still recognize him. ¡°Your Highness, we truly can do nothing about it, it is not like we don¡¯t want to help you, rather it¡¯s impossible.¡± Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei shook his head while appearing to be in a dilemma. In these days when nobles were making trouble, what was one million gold, 50,000 war-horses however was a generous gift. Which noble wasn¡¯t yearning for them? Even Long Fei¡¯s heart was perturbed. Unlike ordinary sect, Azure Dragon Sect stretch over the secular world and also cultivation world. It was a cultivating sect and also a noble¡¯s territory. Long Fei had no less than 180,000 elite soldiers under his leadership. This southern part was hot and rainy, it was not suitable for breeding horses, so practically all of those 180,000 elite soldiers were infantry. Once he fought with another noble, he would very likely suffer a loss. But with 50,000 first-rate war-horses, it would be different. He could quickly form an elite cavalry. The heart of Long Fei was perturbed but he gave up after thinking about the power of Cloud Mist Sect. For 50,000 war-horses, fighting to the death with Cloud Mist Sect that had the inheritance of millions of years, was that worth it? Naturally, it wasn¡¯t worth it! Weighing gain and loss, Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei still refused the request of Li Guang Han. ¡°Sect Master Wyvern, take a look, what is this?¡± Li Guang Han didn¡¯t give up as if the refusal of Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei was within his expectation. Next, he suddenly took out a crescent moon blade. It was three feet long and its shaft had the thickness of an arm. The back of the blade was very thick but the edge was very thin. At one glance, one would know that it was a very sharp weapon. Just waving it casually, sharp blade light flew out along with whistling sounds. ¡°Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade?¡± Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei exclaimed and stood up all of a sudden. The Lady sitting beside him was also startled. Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade was a piece of peerless treasure pass down from generation to generation in Azure Dragon Sect. It was known as the big killing weapon that suppressed the fate of Azure Dragon Sect. Unfortunately, two hundred years ago, this big killing weapon had disappeared with previous Sect Master. According to the legend, it was lost in some unknown ominous domain. For two hundred years, Azure Dragon Sect had looked for it everywhere, but there was no news of it. But, this big killing weapon suddenly appeared in the hand of Li Guang Han, this shocked the calm Long Fei. ¡°That¡¯s right, this is your Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s peerless treasure Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade. Many years ago, someone gave this to father emperor as a tribute and since then, it had been stored in the Weaponry Pavilion of the imperial palace.¡± Li Guang Han nodded his head and added, ¡°Sect Master Wyvern, I will return this big killing weapon to you if you help me destroy Cloud Mist Sect and kill that brat Ye Chuan, how about it?¡± Li Guang Han was completely prepared. He was determined to kill Ye Chuan. For this reason, he didn¡¯t hesitate to steal Azure Dragon Crescent Moon, this great treasure, from the Weaponry Pavilion of the imperial palace. Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei became silent. This time, he didn¡¯t agree but also didn¡¯t immediately refuse again. He began to hesitate in his heart. Sending troops to attack Cloud Mist Sect, needless to say, it would be a very hard battle. If they were even slightly careless, then they would follow the footsteps of Da Qin Dynasty and suffer a heavy damage. Now, he was in such a dilemma that, if he promised Li Guang Han to send troops, then Azure Dragon Sect would lose a lot of soldiers, but if he didn¡¯t agree, then Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade they had been searching for many years will be lost forever. Go into war or not? Long Fei hesitated and was unable to make a decision. ¡°Sect Master Wyvern, I will tell you a secret, my father emperor has qi deviation because he forcibly tried to make a breakthrough. He might die very soon. At that time, I will become Da Qin King. What you should do now, you should think over clearly.¡± Li Guang Han struck while the iron was hot. He lured and also threatened secretly, now, the implication was very clear. Now, if Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei didn¡¯t agree to his request, then in the future, when he ascended the throne and become new Da Qin King, it would be impossible for Azure Dragon Sect to have good days. ¡°Your Highness, my Azure Dragon Sect truly doesn¡¯t have the strength to destroy Cloud Mist Sect. How about this, I will invite experts and kill Ye Chuan even if I have to risk my life, how is that?¡± Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei took a step back and made a compromise choice. This time, it was Li Guang Han¡¯s turn to be silent. Even though he had incessantly schemed for so long to destroy Cloud Mist Sect, he was unable to destroy it, so, he was not reconciled. His hatred had already reached the extreme point, just killing Ye Chuan was already unable to assuage his anger. ¡°Fine, that¡¯s settled then, when will you start?¡± After a good while, Li Guang Han gritted his teeth and said. His voice was hoarse. He had no choice but to make this decision. Still, in any case, Ye Chuan will be killed first. ¡°Three days, I want at least three days. I have to call some of my brothers. Your Highness, you also know that some of my brothers live in¡­¡­, who?¡± Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei suddenly shouted and jumped towards Ye Chuan under the eaves. Hearing Long Fei had agreed to attack, the heart of Ye Chuan trembled and he carelessly bumped onto a tile. This small sound alarmed Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei with powerful cultivation. And in an instant, the latter rushed over. His speed was faster than using flying sword and he viciously attacked with palm. Chapter 355: Wyvern in Sky Chapter 355: Wyvern in Sky The speed of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was astonishing. Ye Chuan was also surprised, but immediately afterward, his eyes shone with pallid light and he similarly attacked with palm to resist and test the strength of this Sect Master. Peng! A muffled sound resounded and two figures retreated. The hand of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was aching and limp, and he retreated even faster than when he had rushed forward to attack. Meanwhile, Ye Chuan however took advantage of this opportunity to leave quickly. His right arm was drooping, seemed to have suffered severe damage, but his speed was equally astonishing. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei raised his eyebrows and he suddenly soared, then like an azure dragon, he flew forward, instantly appearing in front of Ye Chuan. Then, he attacked with a palm once again, ¡°Where are you going? Stay here for me!¡± This time, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t meet tough with toughness, his body suddenly swayed left and right. A powerful palm wind surged, blowing away fallen leaves, and the big hand of Azure Dragon Sect Master brushed past Ye Chuan. At that moment, Ye Chuan exerted strength on his foot and accelerated to leave. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master exclaimed in surprise. He was startled and also was angry. He also accelerated similarly to chase after Ye Chuan. In the first palm attack, he used 60% of his strength, and it seemed to have injured Ye Chuan, but his speed was astonishing, it was not any inferior to his own speed; In the second palm attack, he used 70% of his strength, wanting to end this battle with this attack, but who would have thought that Ye Chuan would actually dodge his attack? Azure Dragon Sect Master who had been always known for his outstanding movement technique had never missed his attack and no one had ever been able to dodge his attack too. Looking at the back view of Ye Chuan, he was truly angry. He suddenly raised his strength to 80% and his speed increased sharply, then jumping high again, he landed in front of Ye Chuan again, blocking his route of retreat. Ye Chuan said nothing, just changed his direction at high speed. Since he had already tested the strength of Azure Dragon Sect Master, he no longer collided with him. He moved here and there like a piece of fallen leaf, but his speed was astonishing, displaying the might of Cyan Feather Technique. But, no matter which direction he chose, he was blocked by Azure Dragon Sect Master. The latter would fly back and forth in the sky at terrifying speed as if he had transformed into a dragon, and after encircling and intercepting for a long time, he wasn¡¯t getting tired, on the contrary, his speed was getting faster and faster. Wyvern in Sky! Azure Dragon Sect Master had unconsciously used 100% of his strength to attack, displaying the fatal move of Azure Dragon Sect. Azure Dragon Prefecture had hidden dragon and crouching tiger. In early years, because of the production of high-quality cyan crystal stones, unknown numbers of experts and demonic cultivators had come here. But under the menacing gaze of such formidable opponents, Azure Dragon Sect rose to prominence. Azure Dragon Sect naturally had a unique technique. This Wyvern in Sky Technique was that technique and also was Azure Dragon terrifying deadly move. Every generation Sect Master cultivated this technique. Long Fei had cultivated this technique to the highest degree of perfection. Even a person who had higher cultivation base than him, or even a Half-Sage realm expert, they absolutely couldn¡¯t intercept him; as for the people who had same cultivation base as him or lower, they were screwed. Even running away was impossible! ¡°Assassin, assassin¡­¡­¡± ¡°Surround him, shut the city gate, and activate the restriction¡­¡­¡± The guards came with flaming torches in their hand hearing the commotion and they made an uproar. This situation was grim. Squeaking sounds were coming from far away, that was the sound of activating mechanism and restriction. After that, a heavy pressure began to ripple in the sky, and it got increasingly heavier, making Ye Chuan feel as if he was being weighed by a huge mountain. Thus, his speed got slower and slower. ¡°Under my Wyvern in Sky, even Half-Sage realm expect cannot escape unscathed, surrender obediently!¡± Sect Master Wyvern shouted and watching for an opportunity, he suddenly rushed over and attacked with a palm towards the chest of Ye Chuan. Under haste, Ye Chuan had to stretch out his hands to block. This time, he used his left hand. The two palms collided and ferocious invisible airwaves erupted. Many guards who had rushed over hearing this commotion were sent flying, and the torches on their hand were also extinguished. Azure Dragon Sect Master paused and his hand was numb and tingling. As for Ye Chuan, his left hand was drooping down softly. There was even some bloodstain on his sleeve. With both of his arm injured, Ye Chuan would absolutely be unable to escape even if given wings! Azure Dragon Sect Master roared with laughter and rushed forward once again, then attacked towards the chest of Ye Chuan with his palm. He was ferocious and swift. ¡°Hahaha, you dare to intrude my Azure Dragon Hall, now know the taste!¡± Ye Chuan stood still. It seemed that he was so severely injured that he was unable to move and he resembled the opponent who had accepted his fate. The laughter of Azure Dragon Sect Master became even more unscrupulous as he saw that the victory was within his sight. In these hundred years, all those who intruded Azure Dragon Hall had died, even if they didn¡¯t die, they were sent to prison in barely alive state. This time was also no exception. But at the moment when the palm of Azure Dragon Sect Master was about to hit the chest of Ye Chuan, the eyes of Ye Chuan shone with a pallid light. Moreover, he didn¡¯t retreat, and raising the right hand that had been drooping down softly, he suddenly punched and violent energy fluctuation suddenly erupted. Not good, he was faking! The heart of Azure Dragon Sect Master jumped violently as he felt danger. Unfortunately, the distance between them was too small, so he didn¡¯t have any time to dodge, so he could just grit his teeth and collide head-on. Ha! Ye Chuan shouted and eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans circulated crazily, thus, 144,000 jin strength suddenly erupted out. Bang, Azure Dragon Sect Master was sent flying and before he could fall to the ground, Ye Chuan spat out Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, which changed into a hint of blood red light, whistling towards the space between the eyebrows of this sect master. The strength of Azure Dragon Sect Master was astonishing. Still, after the collision with the first palm attack, the hand of Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t that badly hurt, he just pretended that he was no longer able to use his right arm, then seizing the right moment, he suddenly caught Azure Dragon Sect Master unprepared! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, air piercing sounds resounded. The speed of Dragon Slaying Flying Sword was astonishing, it reached in front of Azure Dragon Sect in an instant. It was basically too late for numerous guards to make a move to save him. But, just when Dragon Slaying Flying Sword was about to stab through the space between the eyebrows of Azure Dragon Sect Master, the body of the latter suddenly rose up. He used Wyvern in Sky to escape the danger. Azure Dragon Sect was truly powerful, compared to Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, it was far more powerful! Ye Chuan secretly thought it was too pity and rushing outside, he whistled and a demonic dragon suddenly rushed over from the nearby grove. Then, riding his back, one person and one dragon instantly disappeared without a trace. The disciples of Azure Dragon Sect who thought that they had laid out nets above and snares below looked at each other in blank dismay. They had never thought that Ye Chuan still had a backup means. ¡°Chase, Azure Dragon City has the restriction, that one person and one dragon absolutely cannot escape via sky. Shut the city gate, immediately search the entire city and capture them for me!¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master ordered in a low voice. Then, with a ghastly pale complexion, he used several techniques. After that, the dragon carving of the Azure Dragon Hall opened its eyes and the scales on its body stuck up as if it had returned back to life. And at the same time, a cyan halo appeared in the sky which covered the entire Azure Dragon City. Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er were fast, but they would not be able to rush out in time. ¡°Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, Demonic Dragon¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han standing at one side muttered to himself. Since the assassin had already left, the guards relaxed, but he was getting increasingly nervous and even was fearful. ¡°It¡¯s him, it¡¯s that brat Ye Chuan, he came¡­¡­¡± ¡°Your Highness, who came?¡± The wife of Sect Master standing beside Li Guang Han asked. Because her face was coved with a veil, her expression couldn¡¯t be seen, but one could see confusion and vigilant in her eyes as she secretly opened a distance from Li Guang Han. Seeing Li Guang Han was muttering as if a madman, she was instinctively afraid. ¡°Ye Chuan, it¡¯s that brat Ye Chuan, the assassin of just now was him. Yes, it¡¯s him, he has come!¡± The more he spoke, the more frightened he was and his teeth chattered. Ye Chuan had used Nine Demonic Transformation Technique to disguise himself, so his build was completely different, but Dragon Slaying Flying Sword and Demonic Dragon Little Long¡¯er were already deeply engraved in the depth of Li Guang Han¡¯s mind. It was the nightmare he could never forget. Chapter 356: Late night bitter cultivation Chapter 356: Late night bitter cultivation Late at night, groups after groups of soldiers rushed out from military barracks with a torch in their hand, and they began searching from house to house after closing the city gate. But, they couldn¡¯t find even the trace of the assassin, still, many rebels were found. Among them, there was no lack of thugs and great devils who killed people like flies. Some surrendered, but some desperately resisted, thus, intense fighting was happening in streets and lanes. When soldiers were creating great commotion, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er quietly returned to that wing-room. That little maid Zhao Shuya who was sleeping on the bed had already left the room at an unknown time, so inside and outside the room was very quiet. No one had ever expected that that mysterious and powerful assassin was hiding inside the Azure Dragon Sect. The Azure Dragon Restriction in the sky was indeed powerful, and with it covering the entire Azure Dragon City, even a peak Daoist Master realm expert might not necessarily be able to escape from this city. Now, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to collide head-on but also had no intention to get out of the city. Since he was able to determine the whereabouts of Li Guang Han with great difficulty, no killing this future trouble, how can he be willing to leave so easily? Three days! There are still three days! Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed and a hint of a cold smile appeared on his face. Now, he was already very clear that Huainanzi Zhao Ying truly hadn¡¯t spoken wrongly, Cloud Mist Sect was facing a new challenge. Now that he was already at Azure Dragon Prefecture, Ye Chuan not only wanted to stop the operation of Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei, he also wanted to get rid of Li Guang Han, this future trouble. Not a single one of them was dispensable, moreover, the sooner he accomplished that, the better. After the experts invited by Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei arrived, it would be even harder to make a move. Since Azure Dragon Sect was about to make a move, how should he respond this time? Was it better to retreat and concentrate on defense like when facing the army of Da Qin Dynasty, or¡­¡­ Ye Chuan took out a message talisman, preparing to send this news to Zhu Sijia in the sect, but just before he crushed the message talisman, he hesitated. Once again having a battle inside Cloud Mist Sect will cause damage to the sect to some extent. Moreover, defending passively had never been the style of Ye Chuan. Couldn¡¯t he reverse and have the battle inside Azure Dragon Sect, gaining the initiative by striking first? A bold idea suddenly appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. But, although it is good to take the initiative to launch an attack, this move was a double-edged sword. He needed to plan carefully. The true experts of Cloud Mist Sect were just Flame Devil, Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and very few others, and compared to Azure Dragon Sect with many experts, there was a very big gap in strength. The slight careless might wipe out the entire army in Azure Dragon Sect. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, didn¡¯t that Huainanzi Zhao Ying say that Heroic Alliance is very powerful, how about borrowing their army and let them show the strength of their alliance!¡± Little Long¡¯er understood the thoughts of Ye Chuan and made a suggestion. ¡°This is a good suggestion, merely, it is the last resort, we shouldn¡¯t owe them a favor easily.¡± Ye Chaun shook his head. The Heroic Alliance mentioned by Huainanzi Zhao Ying sounded very powerful. At least, their information network was very good. In this regard, joining the alliance certainly had a lot of benefits. But the circumstance of the alliance was unclear. Before he truly understood this Heroic Alliance, it was not necessarily a good thing to rashly get into too much contact with them. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, then what should we do next?¡± Little Long¡¯er was worried. On the way back, Ye Chuan had told him the general situation. ¡°Carefully walk forward step by step, after experiencing over 200,000 soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty attacking the sect, are you still afraid of this trifling Azure Dragon Sect?¡± Ye Chuan crushed the message talisman. First, he told this information to Zhu Sijia to let her make preparations, then, he began cultivating on the spot. Facing a powerful opponent, Ye Chuan became all the more eager to break through to next level and also looked forward to condensing new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. Cloud Mist Sect was inviting challenges in succession, but his current cultivation base was not sufficiently powerful. If he was at the same level as before when he was able to conceal the heaven with his hand, then let alone trifling Li Guang Han, even Da Qin King would have to carefully walk far around him. Ye Chuan opened his mouth and spat out a small banner. And under the gaze of Little Long¡¯er, this banner became bigger and bigger in the palm of Ye Chuan and a heavy pressure spread all around. Inside the room, a wind suddenly started to blow. The curtain of the bed fluttered, the books on the table rapidly flipped opened and the remaining tea in the cup swayed. Ye Chuan gently swayed this Iron Blooded Banner, and with this big killing weapon in his hand, his fighting spirit rose. Outside Azure Dragon Hall, he didn¡¯t use this big killing weapon. He just fought unarmed against Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei, because, on one hand, he didn¡¯t want to zealously continue fighting, and on the other hand, he also wanted to leave a trump card. After obtaining Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, this big killing weapon passed down in Azure Dragon Sect, from Li Guang Han, the strength of Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei would definitely increase. So, in their next meeting, Ye Chuan wanted to see whether Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade was powerful or his Iron Blooded Banner was more ferocious. A burst of violent power erupted from the Iron Blooded Banner. This power stimulated others, making them unable to restrain their fighting spirit. If an average person had obtained this big killing weapon, then he might not be able to control it and become a great devil that only knew to kill. But, Ye Chuan was different, his mental state and experience were far above his peers, but he also had a hint of uncontrollable feeling. His thoughts of going to Azure Dragon Hall and fighting a decisive battle against Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei again was getting increasingly stronger. Only after taking a few deep breaths, he slowly calmed down, and displaying General Step in this small wing room, he comprehended the secrets of this Iron Blooded Banner. Little Long¡¯er sat cross-legged outside the door so as to guard Ye Chuan. And he had his eyes wide open experiencing the peerless might of General Step Technique. In the small room, Ye Chuan inconceivably moved about to kill. Sometimes, he accelerated in a straight line, and just a moment before his head was about to slam against the wall, he would suddenly bent back and flip over, then exerting strength on the wall with his tiptoes, he would suddenly pounce back, waving the banner. Thus, the books, pots and pans and even desks inside the room flew up. And in the next moment, along with the downward movement of the banner, all the things would fall straight down to the ground. Between the movement of rising and falling, he had used just the right amount of strength, as a result, even the most fragile porcelain bowl was intact without any damage. Iron Blooded Banner, Ye Chuan was getting more and more skilled at using this big killing weapon. Now, he could display superb skills and he could use it even more smoothly. On the main peak of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan had cultivated in seclusion to train the absolute strength aspect of Iron Blooded Banner. Now, in this small room, his style had changed. He was handling this banner that was more than 100,000 jin in weight with ease just like a light fan. Ye Chuan discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to cultivate wholeheartedly. The heaven and earth were in great turmoil outside, but this place was very quiet. No one came to disturb for the entire night. But, just after the dawn, sounds of messy footsteps suddenly came from outside. Came! Finally came to search here? Little Long¡¯er who was guarding at the entrance door suddenly stood up. He appeared tense as if he was facing a formidable foe. He was ready to transform into the dragon at any time. In the wing room, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped his training. And the banner in his hand automatically emitted a dense killing intent. After cultivating to the fullest, now he appeared just like a peerless Slaughter God in the battlefield. His fighting spirit was so high that even if State teacher Jiang Tunsheng again came in person, he would fight with him! Chapter 357: Is Banxian real or fake? Chapter 357: Is Banxian real or fake? ¡°Old Ye, Old Ye¡­¡­¡± The voice of little maid Zhao Shuya came. She was rushing over with a small basket in her hand. She looked excited as if something good had happened to her. As it turned out it was this girl! Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er relaxed. ¡°Big sister Ya, my grandfather is still resting, why are you looking for him?¡± Little Long¡¯er was respectful and he didn¡¯t show any sign of blocking the door. But, recalling that scene of this little maid taking the initiative to undress herself yesterday, his face became red. He was even more bashful than this little maid. ¡°Happy event, extremely big happy event, I have come to thank Old Ye, here, Little Long¡¯er this is for you.¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya lifted up a plain white cloth covering the basket and taking out a delicate pastry, she handed it over to Little Long¡¯er and said, ¡°Eat it while it is still hot. This is Sesame Preserved Egg Cake I specially made to give to Old Ye, it is very delicious. Old Ye, is he still not awake?¡± The little maid said while looking inside from the crack of the door, but was disappointed as she was unable to see Old Ye. Then, she moved sideways to push open the door and enter. ¡°Big sister Ya, my grandfather, he¡­¡­ now is not too convenient for him.¡± Little Long¡¯er moved sideways, blocking this little maid Zhao Shuya. For an unknown reason, even though he could calmly reply to great devils, in front of this beautiful young maiden, he nevertheless was shy and his heartbeat accelerated. ¡°Why, is your grandfather ill? Or, has his injury worsen?¡± This little maid became somewhat anxious as she recalled that Ye Chuan¡¯s so-called feeling technique would reduce his life by one year. Creak, the door opened from inside. Ye Chuan opened the door and walked out. He was dressed up as a senile old man. Little Long¡¯er secretly peeked inside the room and saw that the room was neat and tidy without any trace of Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation. Only after that, he completely relaxed. At this moment, if their identities were revealed, then they would be in trouble. ¡°Little Ya, come in, coming urgently so early in the morning, did something happen?¡± Ye Chuan sat on a stool and said. ¡°Happy event, extremely big happy event. Old Ye, early in the morning, I met our former loyal servant and he knows the whereabouts of my mother and big sister.¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya said with excitement. Her eyes were red as she was crying tears of joy and added, ¡°Old Ye, you really didn¡¯t speak wrongly, my mother and big sister are still alive. They are living in Huainan Prefecture in the vicinity of East Sea. This servant had made a special trip from the east Huainan Prefecture all the way to here specially to look for my whereabouts. Old Ye, my mother and big sister are truly still alive¡­¡­¡± This little maid choked with sobs and tears flowed down continuously. Yesterday, Ye Chuan had said that her mother and big sister were still alive. And the next day, someone came to her doorstep. She who had lived alone for so many years suddenly obtain the whereabouts of her family members, thus, she couldn¡¯t help but burst into floods of tears. ¡°Don¡¯t cry, isn¡¯t this a happy event?¡± Ye Chuan was dumbfounded and he blushed with shame. He had not expected that the few words he had spoken casually had became true. ¡°Little Ya, then what do you plan to do next?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, I want to reunite with my mother and big sister, but the Lady is here¡­¡­ I am afraid I will be unable to leave.¡± The little maid wiped her tears and smiled through her tears, ¡°But, whatever one says, Old Ye, thank you. Because I met you, I have such a good luck of coincidentally running into that former servant. You had said that I am fated to meet a noble person, but I truly didn¡¯t expect that there was such person under the heaven, Old Ye, no, Ye Banxian, please accept this little Ya¡¯s kowtow.¡± This little maid Zhao Shuya respectfully knelt down and kowtow Ye Chuan with gratitude. She attributed the blessing of coincidentally meeting the former servant to Ye Chuan. ¡°Little Ya, don¡¯t be like this, in fact, I am also confused, I am a fake Banxian.¡± Ye Chuan smirked. ¡°Old Ye, a man of true talent never shows off, rest assured, I will not casually speak outside that might make things difficult for you. Hereafter, Little Ya is your foster granddaughter, is that okay?¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya stood up and picking up a handmade Preserved Egg Cake, he gave it to Ye Chuan, then walking behind Ye Chuan, she massaged his shoulders. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan who was eating the cake nearly choked to death hearing the latter half of her words. As for Little Long¡¯er, he turned around to laugh up his sleeve. I haven¡¯t married yet, I don¡¯t even have any son or daughters but now, I suddenly have a granddaughter, this¡­¡­ Ye Chuan blushed with shame, and especially feeling a pair of developing small meatballs of this little maid pressing on his back, he hastily straightened his back to get out of the way. After that, he changed the topic, ¡°By the way, little Ya, last night, soldiers were moving back and forth outside, did something happen?¡± ¡°I heard that an assassin sneaked into Azure Dragon Hall and after he was discovered by Sect Master, he fled.¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya replied. ¡°Assassin? Then, is it safe here? If we die after sleeping, then how will we know how we die?¡± Ye Chuan asked. The little maid Zhao Shuya chuckled and said, ¡°Old Ye, you can rest assured, this place is not far away from the bedroom of the Lady, no one can secretly sneak in here to murder. Besides, why would someone assassinate some fortune telling old man?¡± ¡°Then, that¡¯s good, fortune telling is like this, we can calculate the matter of others, but we cannot calculate our matters.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, then turning around, he returned to the bed and lied down as he said, ¡°Little Ya, after using bone feeling technique last night, I am still feeling dizzy, I will continue to rest for a while, you can go and keep yourself busy.¡± ¡°Okay, Old Ye, rest well.¡± The little maid helped Ye Chuan pull up the quilt, then exhorting Little Long¡¯er to attend to Ye Chuan, she turned around and left. This little maid was truly not bad. She was innately sensible, smart and knew how to show consideration to people, furthermore, was a seedling of beauty, unfortunately, she was very young, otherwise¡­¡­ Even after Ye Chuan closed his eyes, that feeling of a pair of meatballs of that little maid pressing against his back lingered on his mind, and he screamed in his heart feeling guilty. He hastily cut off such distracting thoughts and instructing Little Long¡¯er to go out and gather information, he however continued to train inside the room. During the day, there was a busy flow of people and strict guards inside Azure Dragon Sect, it was not good to make a move. So, Ye Chuan patiently waited for the arrival of night. The curtain of the night came faster than he had expected. Little Long¡¯er returned. He didn¡¯t bring back some good news, instead returned with little maid Zhao Shuya. The movement of this little maid was quick and neat. She had personally made a tableful of steaming hot meals and brought them over along with a bottle of good wine which was specially prepared for Ye Chuan. ¡°Good wine, it is at least 100 years old wine. Little Ya, say, what do you want to ask?¡± Ye Chuan seeped a mouthful of wine and asked. The gratitude of this little maid Zhao Shuya was not fake, but how could this minor maid find such a good wine? Such a good old wine, it would cost at least 100 taels of silver. That was not something this little maid could take out. ¡°Old Ye is amazing, I truly couldn¡¯t hide that I have a matter with you.¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya said with some hesitation, ¡°Old Ye, I want to apologize for a matter, I¡­¡­, I still told the matter of fortune-telling to the Lady, and the Lady said¡­¡­¡± ¡°What did the Lady said?¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan was calm but was serious in his heart. The Lady of Azure Dragon Sect, she however was different from little maid Zhao Shuya, this kind of unimportant person. Moreover, he don¡¯t how many times more shrewd and powerful she was. If she noticed something unusual, then that would be troublesome. ¡°Recently, the Lady find it hard to fall asleep, she is weighted down with anxieties. She said¡­¡­, she said that she also wants you to feel her once and help her calculate something.¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya mumbled and added, ¡°Old Ye, please, don¡¯t blame me for opening my big mouth. I have said nothing to other people, I carelessly made a slip of the tongue in front of the Lady.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t blame you, little Ya, I don¡¯t blame you, but I ask you to pass my words to the Lady, I cannot help her. I am already tired and also have grown old. If I feel again, I will reduce my lifespan by one year again and truly might lose my life. Early morning tomorrow, we grandfather and grandson will leave.¡± Ye Chuan directly refused. He didn¡¯t want to deliberately complicate the issue. He indistinctly felt that it was very difficult to deal with that Lady who always wore the veil. Tonight, he should make the move and kill Li Guang Han! The eyes of Ye Chuan flashed with a hint of pallid light, and at one side, Little Long¡¯er stood up to see the visitor out. Chapter 358: The Lady of Azure Dragon Sect Chapter 358: The Lady of Azure Dragon Sect Seeing Ye Chuan was unwilling to help the Lady using Bone Feeling Fortune-Telling Technique, this little maid Zhao Shuya had no choice but to leave, preparing to go back to the Lady. But, just opening the door, the three people were dumbfounded. Outside this wing room, a carriage had come to stop at an unknown time. There was no noise of carriage coming as if this carriage had suddenly sprung out from the ground. Even Ye Chuan didn¡¯t sense its arrival. Was this carriage specially made to not have any sound, or, was there a problem with that wine? Cold sweats appeared on the forehead of Ye Chuan. The sudden appearance of this carriage gave him a very bad feeling. ¡°Little Ya, the Lady instructed me to come over and pick you and Old Ye up.¡± A coachman said. His voice was low and muffled as if his voice was coming out from his abdomen. Looking carefully at this coachman, the heart of Ye Chuan shook again. This coachman wore a big bamboo hat and he was always lowering his head, thus, his face couldn¡¯t be seen. His body was emaciated and his arms had many age spots. He appeared as if he was very old and there was no energy fluctuation within his body. But, even at first glance, Ye Chuan had an uncomfortable feeling. He always felt that something was wrong, but, he was unable to point out where exactly was wrong. This coachman has a problem! Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er looked at each other. Both of them had a very good intuition. Little Long¡¯er was very nervous and when he was about to transform into a dragon, Ye Chuan pulled him behind and lightly shook his head. ¡°Old Han, did¡­¡­, did the Lady instructed you to come here?¡± Little Ya looked pale and with her teeth chattering, she trembled. It seemed that this little girl and this coachman knew each other, this made Little Long¡¯er and Ye Chuan somewhat relieved. But, seeing the trembling appearance of this little maid, they couldn¡¯t help feeling uncertain again. Since they knew each other, why was this little maid so afraid? ¡°Yes, now, get¡­¡­on¡­..¡±The coachman replied. Strangely, his voice was very faint. ¡°Ye¡­¡­, Old Ye¡­¡­¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya turned over to see Ye Chuan, looking awkward. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to go, but the Lady had dispatched this coachman to pick them up. How was this anything good? ¡°It is better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously, since the Lady has dispatched someone to pick us up, little Ya, we should go. Little Long¡¯er, you should rest early, I will go and return quickly.¡± Ye Chuan secretly signaled Little Long¡¯er to keep calm, then enter the horse carriage. After pondering for a while, Ye Chuan quickly came to the decision. He simply wanted to use this pretext to take a look at this unfathomable Lady of Azure Dragon Sect. ¡°Han¡­¡­, Old Han, then¡­¡­, we¡¯ll trouble¡­.., trouble you.¡± Ye Chuan was straightforward, conversely, this little maid Zhao Shuya hesitated as if she didn¡¯t dare to come in. Finally, after seeing Ye Chuan was calmly sitting inside the carriage, she toughened her scalp and entered, then sat beside Ye Chuan. ¡°Mmm.¡± A faint voice resounded in the ears of these two people. Then, the carriage moved silently as if a ghost carriage. The weather was not cold. Outside, just wearing a piece of extremely thin clothing was enough, but once inside the carriage, they felt bone-chilling coldness. And it got colder and colder. Ye Chuan rolled up his sleeves and saw that his arms were full of goosebumps. On the other side, the little maid Zhao Shuya was even more unable to bear. Her teeth chattered as she trembled violently. ¡°Little Ya, how come this coachman is so strange?¡± Ye Chuan asked in a whisper. The little maid Zhao Shuya didn¡¯t utter a word, she just signaled Ye Chuan to keep silent. Then, reaching out to the palm of Ye Chuan, she wrote a word. Ye Chuan was startled and didn¡¯t react for a while, so this little maid wrote again, intentionally slowing down her writing speed. Dead? This time, Ye Chuan responded and he suddenly saw the light. He understood why he felt something was wrong at the moment he saw this coachman. This coachman wearing a big bamboo hat, didn¡¯t have a heartbeat and had no body temperature. He was a dead person! Cold sweats again appeared on his forehead and his heart was in jitters. Living corpse, he had never seen it before. When he concealed the heaven in his previous life, he had gone to all kinds of ancient ominous domains, thus, he had seen all kinds of evil spirits. But, such strange things, this was truly the first time he had encountered them. Now, he felt that the Lady of Azure Dragon Sect was all the more mysterious and hard to deal with. Tonight, he feared that it truly will be troublesome! Ye Chuan took a deep breath and circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body to expel the coldness and slowly calmed down. Then, he glanced at this trembling little maid and pulled her into his bosom. This pitiful little girl was on the verge of freezing. The carriage moved silently without any sound, but it was not slow. Not long after, it stopped in front of a palace. When the carriage had just stopped, the little maid hastily pulled Ye Chuan and jumped out as if she was fleeing far away from the coachman Old Han. She led Ye Chuan to the palace of Azure Dragon Lady, and when she was about to knock the door and request to open the door. A faint voice came from inside, ¡°Old Ye, come in, little Ya, you wait outside.¡± ¡°Yes, Lady.¡± The little maid Zhao Shuya bowed and accepted the order, no longer daring to take a step forward. She just signaled Ye Chuan to take care of himself. Although she was still young in age and had yet to experience many things in the world, this little maid had also noticed that there was something wrong with the current situation. She feared that it was not as simple as the Lady asking Ye Chuan to come here just for that Bone Feeling Fortune Telling Technique. She even dispatched the living corpse Old Han to come to fetch them. Letting this person who was feared by everyone in the sect to come to pick Ye Chuan up, what did the Lady want? Creak, Ye Chuan pushed opened the door, and walked in and just after he took two steps forward, the door closed automatically. In that instant, Ye Chuan sensed a feminine and tender fragrance blowing against his face. Looking up, he noticed that this sleeping chamber wasn¡¯t that big and not even one lamp was lit up. Only the moonlight from the window dimly illuminated this room, and he vaguely saw a person lying on the bed covered with a quilt. Ye Chuan walked a few steps forward and was able to see a graceful figure under the quilt. Her pitch-black long hair was revealed outside and her neck was also revealed outside, but her face was covered with a veil, thus, her facial features were not visible. ¡°Old Ye, I heard little Ya saying your Bone Feeling Fortune Telling Technique is quite good, can you help me calculate something?¡± A faint voice came. Ye Chuan became solemn in his heart. Indeed, the person lying on the bed was truly the Lady of Azure Dragon Sect. Yesterday evening, he had heard her voice in Azure Dragon Hall, so he couldn¡¯t be wrong. ¡°Lady, I was just speaking thoughtlessly, it was fake.¡± ¡°Is that so? Then, I will allow you to speak thoughtlessly, this is also an unusual ability. How about it, Old Ye, are you willing to calculate for me?¡± The voice of the Azure Dragon Lady came and continued faintly, ¡°Or to say, since feeling bone once will be reduced your lifespan by one year, are you worried that you will die if you help me calculate once? Or, are you worried that I cannot afford to pay you sufficiently?¡± ¡°Lady is joking, since you say this much, it is better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously, then, forgive me for committing a crime.¡± Ye Chuan walked over to the bedside then stretching out his hand, he felt about under the quilt and was startled instantly. Just after entering under the quilt, his hand traced out a smooth leg and following up this leg, he felt about the thigh, then¡­¡­ Ye Chuan began to sweat profusely. Under the extremely thin quilt, there unexpectedly was a naked body without a single thread. Azure Dragon Lady had covered her face with a veil but her body was stark naked without any clothing. Was this because that little maid didn¡¯t express clearly when communicating with Azure Dragon Lady, or, was the latter doing this deliberately? Was this a trap? Ye Chuan got nervous. At this time, if the Azure Dragon Lady suddenly turned hostile and said that he was plotting something unlawful, and Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei and Li Guang Han walked in together, then not only would he get screwed, even his reputation would drop a thousand zhang in one fall and even implicate Cloud Mist Sect. Chapter 359: Junior apprentice sister Feihu Chapter 359: Junior apprentice sister Feihu The Lady of Azure Dragon Sect who was lying on the bed suddenly turned over and looked at Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan could vaguely see her beautiful face underneath her veil, and her eyes were soul-stirring. In addition, she seemed to have seen through the nervousness and panic in the heart of Ye Chuan. And she seemed to be looking forward to what would happen next. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to look straight at this Azure Dragon Lady and shaking his head, he said, ¡°Lady, what do you want me to calculate?¡± Under the extremely thin quilt, Ye Chuan began to feel about again, moving from the thigh to lower abdomen to a mountain. Azure Dragon Lady trembled and finding it hard to endure, she began to pant. After the brief nervousness and panic, Ye Chuan calmed down and simply groped her boldly, feeling about skin and bones of Azure Dragon Lady inch by inch. Every time he moved about, Azure Dragon Lady would tremble. Even if he was discovered, and even if Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei and Li Guang Han enter this sleeping chamber, the worst case scenario was just a bloody battle. Ye Chuan was ready to risk everything. He wanted to see what this Azure Dragon Lady was planning. ¡°Help¡­¡­, help me calculate who my first man is.¡± Azure Dragon Lady asked in a low voice as if she was whispering in the ear of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan was dumbfounded. Wasn¡¯t Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei the husband of this Azure Dragon Lady? Did he still need to calculate this? Wait a minute, the first man doesn¡¯t represent the current husband, in other words¡­¡­ Cold sweats appeared on the forehead of Ye Chuan. He was unable to do anything about this. Other than Azure Dragon Lady herself, who else would know who her first man was? Furthermore, when a man and a woman was spending time alone in a room, blurting out such words, wasn¡¯t this seducing? But, why would she seduce an old man? Not good, my identity if exposed! This Azure Dragon Lady is intentionally asking this question! Ye Chuan quickly reacted. He pulled out his hand from under the quilt and just when he was thinking of a way to leave, a hint of pallid light suddenly appeared before him. Azure Dragon Lady was stabbing towards him with a dagger. In the blink of an eye, the edge of the dagger arrived at the chest of Ye Chuan as her voice resounded, ¡°Noble son Ye, don¡¯t run, continue to calculate for this Lady!¡± The voice of Azure Dragon Lady suddenly became ice-cold and full of killing intent. Sure enough, she had already seen through his identity. She had used her own body to distract him, then initiated a swift and fierce attack. This dagger was fast and ruthless, if it was to hit, then it would definitely make a deep bloody hole from where bones will become clearly visible. Ye Chuan suddenly bent back and his upper body nearly became parallel to the ground. And the dagger brushed past the stomach of Ye Chuan. ¡°Lady is skilled!¡± Ye Chuan coldly snorted and retreated. But just when he had started to move, the curtain of the bed suddenly spread out and a long sleeve flew out from under the quilt, binding his left leg. And with a pull, he was pulled to the bed. The sharp dagger was just a cover, the long sleeve flying out from under the quilt was the real killing move of Azure Dragon Lady! In an instant, Ye Chuan felt that his body was tightly bound by the sleeve, and he found it hard to breathe. An ice-cold blade light shone again as Azure Dragon Lady ferociously stabbed towards Ye Chuan again with her dagger. Ye Chuan dodged sideways and taking advantage of this opportunity, he grabbed the wrist of Azure Dragon Lady with his right hand and pressed her hand holding the dagger on the bed. After that circulating a few Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he coldly snorted and the sleeve binding around his body broke bit by bit. And at the same time, after nullifying the two attacks of this Azure Dragon Lady, he finally relaxed, but before he could make a move, he heard void breaking sounds. Azure Dragon Lady didn¡¯t struggle to free herself, instead initiated even more ferocious attacks. Her long hairs that reached to her waist suddenly spread out, and like a needle, stabbed towards him. Just like the horsetail whisk of Extinction Taoist, if her hairs were to stab him, he would have countless bloody holes on his body. Ye Chuan took a deep breath and quickly dodged sideways. But Azure Dragon Lady coiled around him just like a snake, and ignoring her spring scenery out in open, she entangled with Ye Chuan, and the two people wrestled on the bed. She was expert in fighting, the closer the distance the more dangerous! In a short period of time, Ye Chuan was repeatedly in danger. The attacks of Azure Dragon Lady was fast and ruthless. After taking the initiative, she attacked in full swing. And when Ye Chuan fled back, she would pull him into the bed again. The sounds of footsteps suddenly came from outside which was followed by the voices of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei and his bodyguards. The complexion of Ye Chuan suddenly strained. At this time, he was oppressed on the bed, and he was truly finding it hard to defend his reputation from reaching rock bottom. What¡¯s more, this Azure Dragon Lady was so unreasonable and hard to deal with. Now, with the arrival of the Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect, if he didn¡¯t summon Little Long¡¯er, then he wouldn¡¯t be their opponent and die here without an intact corpse! ¡°Quickly lie inside the quilt and don¡¯t move!¡± Azure Dragon Lady whispered and then pushing the head of Ye Chuan down, she pulled up the quilt to cover their body. After that, she hastily arranged the bed. It seemed that she was more anxious than Ye Chuan. What is she planning now? Ye Chuan tried to struggle, but the slender legs of Azure Dragon Lady had weighted down on his body, and just when he was about to use the power of Heaven Swallowing Talismans to struggle free, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang. Then, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei entered in large strides. At that moment, the stark naked body of Azure Dragon Lady stiffened and Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t dare to move. ¡°You returned?¡± Azure Dragon Lady said. Her voice was cold and indifferent as if she was talking to a stranger. There was no cordial feeling of husband and wife. ¡°I returned.¡± The voice of Sect Master Long Fei was also cold. He paused for a bit and said, ¡°This time, I will cooperate with Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Aren¡¯t you very unhappy and very unwilling?¡± ¡°I am very unhappy, so what?¡± Azure Dragon Lady paused and coldly said, ¡°In any case, this Azure Dragon Sect is yours, you are the Sect Master. As for me, I am just the daughter of former Sect Master. I have no authority, even if I am unhappy and unwilling, what can I do?¡± ¡°Junior apprentice sister Feihu, don¡¯t be like this, don¡¯t you know, this senior apprentice brother, I love you the most?¡± Sect Master Long Fei turned around and closed the door, then walking over to the bedside, he continued, ¡°This senior apprentice brother is doing this not for our Azure Dragon Sect, rather to accomplish Master¡¯s last wish of developing Azure Dragon Sect.Although Li Guang Han is in dire straits now, when all is said and done, he is still Da Qin Crown Prince, in the future after His Majesty passed away, he will become the new Da Qin King. His request, how can our small Azure Dragon Sect refuse it? In addition, his request isn¡¯t the destruction of Cloud Mist Sect, is just to kill Ye Chuan, that Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. He is a trifling Rank 3 Daoist Master realm young disciple, it is very easy to accomplish! Junior apprentice sister Feihu, don¡¯t say this, let senior apprentice brother properly look at your body. Calculating carefully, how many days had it been since this senior apprentice brother last touched you?¡± The voice of Sect Master was very soft and he was getting closer and closer to the bed. Under the extremely thin quilt, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu trembled. Ye Chuan who was hiding under the quilt also became nervous. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was getting closer and closer. It was absolutely impossible to conceal himself with just this curtain. What should he do? The heartbeat of Ye Chuan began to accelerate. He wanted to grit his teeth and jumped out regardless of anything. But the legs of the Azure Dragon Lady suddenly clamped his body, signaling him to not many any rash move. Chapter 360: He is truly not a man Chapter 360: He is truly not a man ¡°Stop, make it clear first, how exactly are you dealing with Cloud Mist Sect?¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu coldly said. ¡°Junior apprentice sister, do you truly want to know?¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei stopped and said with a sinister face. No one knew what he was thinking. ¡°Of course, I want to know.¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu said and added, ¡°Now, although you are the Sect Master, I cannot watch Azure Dragon Sect ruining in your hand. Although Cloud Mist Sect is declining these years, when all is said and done, it is a sect with the heritage of millions of years. In addition, that sect is inextricably linked with the overlord of cultivation world, Heavenly Yao Sect. Furthermore, although Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect is young, he is definitely a millennium genius. He quickly suppressed the internal strife, and annexed both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect, uniting Cloud Mist Mountain Range. In addition to these, he repelled more than 200,000 soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty, what does this mean? Is he an ordinary disciple? Is he so easy to deal with?¡± ¡°I know, that kid Ye Chuan is not easy to deal with and this task is also not that easy, but we cannot give up like this.¡± ¡°Other than Five Ghosts of Heihe, who else?¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu asked. ¡°There are still Old Five of Ghost Base, Five Mountain True Monarch¡­¡­¡± Sect Master Long Fei replied. Among two people, one asked and the other answered for a while. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu carefully interrogated every detail of the action plan with the pretext of worry. And Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei didn¡¯t doubt anything and minutely explained to her. He had never thought that there was a person hiding in her bed. After the brief nervousness, Ye Chuan moved his hand and gently groped her. When Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was minutely interrogating and even searching for some questions no one could have thought so as to prevent Sect Master Long Fei from coming over, Ye Chuan however took advantage of this occasion to play a trick. He teased this Azure Dragon Lady whose intention he was unable to understand. Soon, the body of Azure Dragon Lady reacted and slightly trembled once again. ¡°My wife, what happened?¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei asked. He felt that Azure Dragon Lady was somewhat strange tonight. ¡°No¡­¡­, nothing, feel¡­.., feel cold.¡± Azure Dragon Lady answered that she felt cold, but her naked body was getting hotter and hotter. Under the hands of Ye Chuan, her cold body had gotten burning hot. ¡°Could it be that your old injury has relapsed? Let me take a look.¡± The eyes of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei glimmered as if he was impatient and also as if he was suspicious, discovering something. Then, he walked over in large strides. Ye Chuan paused his movements and stopped teasing Azure Dragon Lady, then circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he prepared a deadly move while waiting for the moment when this Sect Master Long Fei lift the quilt. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu suddenly stretched her hands and ferociously rolled out Ye Chuan, then, she jumped out of the bed. Now, she stood stark naked at the bedside, calmly looking at Sect Master Long Fei. In an instant, both Ye Chuan and the Sect Master Long Fei were stunned. Strange! What did this Azure Dragon Lady want to do? Ye Chuan quickly noticed that something strange was going on between this Azure Dragon Lady and the Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect. They didn¡¯t resemble an ordinary husband and wife. Now, his mind was full of doubts, and he couldn¡¯t understand why this Azure Dragon Lady had invited him over tonight. Sect Master Long Fei was somewhat stunned, then roared with laughter, ¡°Hahaha, no wonder my wife is feeling cold, as it turned out you are already prepared for me. Good, good, this is my good wife, now, begin.¡± The Sect Master roared with laughter and he just spoke. He didn¡¯t rush over to push this Azure Dragon Lady down on the bed, instead, he retreated back and sat down on a big chair. He appeared as if a spectator waiting for a show. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu didn¡¯t say anything. A cyan light flashed and a guqin suddenly appeared in her bosom. Her jade fingers gently moved and the guqin produced the sound, then she began to dance with a cold face. Under the beautiful sound of this guqin, Ye Chuan only saw her graceful figure. Sometimes, she danced at a fast pace and sometimes, she would bent, slowly displaying amazing flexibility and beauty of her body. Although he had experienced many kinds of women in his previous life, quietly looking at this scene from the small gap of the quilt, the throat of Ye Chuan involuntarily dried and his body became burning hot. But, Sect Master Long Fei was still calmly sitting on the chair. He appeared to be looking at this scene with relish, but his lower body had no reaction. With the end of the song, the graceful body of Azure Dragon Lady slowly stopped. ¡°Good, good, everywhere under the heaven, the dance of my wife is the best. Your figure is good, your guqin playing skill is good, and your dance is also good, hahaha¡­..¡± Sect Master Long Fei clapped and shouted while laughing heartily. Then, his tone changed suddenly and said coldly, ¡°It is already late, wife should rest early. In the operation of two days later, you don¡¯t need to participate, properly recuperate your body. Wait until I return from Cloud Mist Sect, and you will again play a song for your husband. This senior apprentice brother, I will go to cultivate Azure Dragon Secrets, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± The Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect roared with laughter and left. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu didn¡¯t utter a word. Her graceful body shivered in cold. And under the quilt, Ye Chuan was stunned. Originally, he had thought that he would witness a spring battle tonight, but who would have thought that, before the battle started, it ended. After looking at such a beauty and facing such a hot and sexy body, how come Sect Master Long Fei did nothing and left just like that? Was he still a man? Azure Dragon Lady closed the door and returned to the bed and silently entered the quilt. This time, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t make any move. He no longer teased this Azure Dragon Lady. It was very quiet in this room so late at night. At this time, Ye Chuan heard vague sobbing sounds. Azure Dragon Lady didn¡¯t speak but the veil covering her face was already drenched with tears. This mysterious woman was crying silently. What was the biggest tragedy in life? It was not two people in love unable to be together, rather two people who had no feelings for each other or even hated each other forced to live together, enduring each other day and night. Other people wouldn¡¯t know the pain and humiliation they suffered. Ye Chuan suddenly understood why Azure Dragon Lady was so laden with grief. It was still uncertain whether the Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect Long Lei was a waste who couldn¡¯t do the deed that even an ordinary person could do, but one thing was certain, i.e., he absolutely didn¡¯t have any feeling for his wife. When watching Azure Dragon Lady dancing, his face was cold as if he was a stranger. For other couples, this could be regarded as flirting, but for Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu, this nevertheless was humiliation. Day in and day out, throughout the year, she suffered this humiliation. ¡°Lady, I am very sorry for the matter of tonight.¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat remorseful and uneasy in his heart. He got up wanting to leave, but a pair of legs suddenly coiled around him. This Lady who was cold as an iceberg in front of the Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect suddenly pushed down Ye Chuan. Her body was burning hot and like a dry wood near a fierce fire, she took the initiative to demand. When male chased the female, they were separated by mountain ranges, but when female chased after the male, they were separated by only a layer of thin paper. Since Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu took the initiative to prod through this layer of paper, this provoked the lust within the body of Ye Chuan that had been suppressed for a long time. Chapter 361: Azure Dragon Secrets Chapter 361: Azure Dragon Secrets After the madness, the two people calmed down. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was noble. Even though Ye Chuan found it difficult to control himself when cultivating Demonic Dragon Sutra together with her in a pair, Ye Chuan still continued to retain his last restraint. He didn¡¯t want to quickly snatch the innocence of Heavenly Maiden when she was still in her most beautiful state. But, together with this mature but still attractive Azure Dragon Lady, he didn¡¯t restrain himself like that. However, after calming down, Ye Chuan noticed something was wrong. Under the soft quilt, there was a bloodstain. ¡°Lady, is this also a kind of revenge?¡± Ye Chuan recalled that Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei had just looked without doing anything, humiliating Azure Dragon Lady. Now, he somewhat understood the action of the latter. Then, seeing the bloodstain on the bed, he was greatly surprised, ¡°This¡­¡­, Lady, is this your first time?¡± ¡°What, Ye Banxian, does just now doesn¡¯t count?¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu showed a smile. This smile was very beautiful and she resembled a young girl who had begun to open her heart. But this beautiful smile disappeared not long after and she said, ¡°Rest assured, I will not ask you to take responsibility.¡± ¡°But, this is also my first time, you should take responsibility.¡± Ye Chuan said, pretending to be aggrieved, having suffered bitterly. ¡°Boy, you¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Lady got angry. Without waiting for Azure Dragon Lady to say anything, Ye Chuan turned over and pushed her down. After a brief calm, an even more vigorous storm began. This time, after the storm, the entire body of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu had softened. She didn¡¯t even have the strength to curse. But her jade finger was subconsciously making circles on the chest of Ye Chuan. She had been married for many years, but this was the first time she had tasted woman¡¯s feeling and had understood what a real man was. This matter had come very suddenly, was even absurd, but she didn¡¯t have any complaint in her heart. Ye Chuan blew hot air in the ear of Azure Dragon Lady and said, ¡°Well, Lady, I cannot come again, if I truly come again, then I will have my life shortened, in addition, create a new life in your belly.¡± ¡°Noble son Ye, you are truly good. You actually sneaked in disguised as an old man, aren¡¯t you afraid that Sect Master Long Fei will kill you?¡± Azure Dragon Lady looked at Ye Chuan and said. At this moment, her face was rosy. The veil that used to cover her face had already been thrown away who knows where by Ye Chuan. Although her age couldn¡¯t be regarded as small, her face was delicate. She had taken such a good care that her skin was so tender and fair that it was not any inferior to that of a young youthful girl. ¡°I am afraid, so please save my life, Lady.¡± Ye Chuan smiled. He had secretly sneaked in, but under a freak combination of factors, he had done this deed with Azure Dragon Lady. Even he had never expected such scenario. But there was one matter he didn¡¯t understand, so he asked, ¡°Lady, how did you know that the fortune-telling old man had a problem and he was me in disguise to sneak in?¡± Ye Chuan still had some degree of confidence in his disguising skill, but no matter how he thought, he was unable to understand why this Azure Dragon Lady doubted him so quickly. ¡°Nine out of ten fortune tellers are swindlers, the remaining one who could truly calculate is absolutely not a person of this world. In addition, you two, grandfather and grandson, the timing of your appearance is too good. Naturally, I was also not 100% sure, so tonight, I called you here to test you.¡± Azure Dragon Lady paused and added, ¡°As for doubting it¡¯s you, that is very simple, it¡¯s because of His Highness Li Guang Han. In Azure Dragon Hall, after seeing the assassin, that fellow screamed in fear, saying you have arrived at Azure Dragon Prefecture. Long Fei didn¡¯t regard this matter as of any importance, but I had a special feeling. In addition, although your disguise is very good, there are two fatal flaws, do you know where?¡± ¡°Where?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°First flaw, your hands do not resemble the hands of old men. Your skin has age spots but is strong and healthy. An old man who doesn¡¯t cultivate doesn¡¯t have this kind of strength. Second flaw, it is even more fatal, and it is your body. After seeing my naked body, your body quickly had some reaction that shouldn¡¯t appear on an old man. Just think, a true old man with one foot in the grave, does his that thing has the strength to stand erect?¡± Azure Dragon Lady looked at Ye Chuan and said. ¡°Lady is amazing!¡± Ye Chuan was full of admiration. Azure Dragon Lady was truly intelligent. But, even though she was intelligent, in the end, didn¡¯t he still¡­¡­ A bad smile appeared on the face of Ye Chuan and turning over Azure Dragon Lady, his hands began to feel about her. Not long after, the two began another round of intense battle. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± A burst of laughter suddenly resounded at this moment. That was the voice of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei, and it was accompanied with a strong energy fluctuation. This greatly surprised Ye Chuan who was preparing to again display his masculinity. His body stretched taut and he instinctively circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, preparing to fight. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was also shocked and her complexion became pale. At this moment, if Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei came in, then they two were finished! Fortunately, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was just laughing. He didn¡¯t come over. He was just laughing loudly in the nearby room. They didn¡¯t know whether he obtained some kind of treasure or gone mad. ¡°Don¡¯t be tense, that fellow is always like that. If he achieves even a small breakthrough in his cultivation, he will become extremely excited and laugh like a mad dog.¡± Azure Dragon Lady said with obvious contempt and resentment on her face, then coldly added, ¡°But, this time, that fellow might have a true big breakthrough. After accidentally obtaining Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade that is said to be suppressing our sect¡¯s fate from His Highness Li Guang Han, his comprehension of Azure Dragon Secrets should have become even more consummate. Now, he might be able to sweep through all other peak Daoist Master realm experts, and I fear that only a thin line separates him from breaking through to the Half-Sage realm!¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu¡¯s complexion was cloudy. Now that Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei have gotten Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, it was much harder to deal with him! Even with the help of Ye Chuan, she was afraid that it will be extremely difficult to kill him! ¡°Lady, between you and Azure Dragon Sect Master¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan could vaguely guess a few points, but he still didn¡¯t understand some things. Azure Dragon Lady and Azure Dragon Sect Master were supposed to be husband and wife, but they were worse than many enemies. ¡°Originally, we two were senior apprentice brother and junior apprentice sister. My father was the previous Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect. My father had three personal disciples. I was the youngest, Long Fei was second senior apprentice brother, in addition, there was one big senior apprentice brother. Originally, my father wanted to pass down the position of Sect Master to big senior apprentice brother, moreover, had arranged my marriage to him. But, just before the death of my father, big senior apprentice brother suddenly died. When he had gone out to temper himself, he suffered the joint attack of several great devils, and died in that bloody battle.¡± The complexion of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu became gloomy. She paused for a bit and continued, ¡°Later, after my father passed away, second senior apprentice brother Long Fei inherited the mantle of my father and become Sect Master without any opposition, in addition, I also receive the order to marry him. But, even after obtaining everything, second senior apprentice brother Long Fei wasn¡¯t satisfied. He secretly stole the forbidden technique of our sect, Azure Dragon Secrets, dreaming of setting foot at the pinnacle of the cultivation world and dominate the entire Wilderness World. From that time, he became neither man nor woman. Furthermore, since I and big senior apprentice brother used to love each other, he nursed a hatred towards me, thus, he hypocritically pretended to be deeply in love with me on the surface, but on the back¡­¡­¡± ¡°So, that was the case.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, finally understanding the complicated relation between Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei and Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu. Then, he asked, ¡°Lady, then what do you want to do? What are your plans?¡± ¡°Very simple, kill him!¡± A hint of pallid light flashed through the eyes of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu and her killing intent became dense. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. In the past, although she had a mind to, it was hard to succeed without support, she was unable to make a move against this Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei and also didn¡¯t dare to defy him even though he humiliated her. Now, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was bent on killing Ye Chuan to fawn on Li Guang Han, as a result, the opportunity she had been waiting for had finally come. Cooperating with Ye Chuan, she would have a chance to get her vengeance! Chapter 362: Plague Archfiend Chapter 362: Plague Archfiend Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak, just remained silent. He also wanted to kill Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei, but was that easy? Even before he refined Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was a peak Daoist Master realm heaven-defying expert. His cultivation base was slightly above Old Demon of Mount Yin. He feared that even Nan Tiandu might not necessarily be his opponent. Now, after refining Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, this big killing weapon that suppressed the fate of Azure Dragon Sect, moreover, making a breakthrough, the cultivation of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei had become even more heaven-defying. Ye Chuan feared that, under the heaven, only Half-Sage realm experts like State teacher Jiang Tunsheng and White Haired Heavenly Empress might be able to suppress him. Others will not be his opponent. He alone was already such a heaven-defying expert, in addition, he had elite guards around him, who can kill him? Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was attractive and charming, moreover, her experience was also something he could sympathize with, but now, even if Ye Chuan took risks for her or lead the entire elites of Cloud Mist Sect to attack Azure Dragon Sect, it would still be impossible to achieve her objective. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was clearly disappointed looking at Ye Chuan, but she didn¡¯t give up her hope, moreover, there was a hint of respect in her eyes. If just accompanying him to sleep one night could make Ye Chuan go through fire and water and be willing to lay down his life, then that would show that Ye Chuan was too weak against feminine charms and was not sufficiently calm and composed. Those people who could accomplish great matters would never be impulsive. They might even be somewhat cold-blooded. In the key moments, they would put general interest first. ¡°Once every three months, Long Fei would go out of the city to Demonic Cave outside. A very strong demon called Plague Archfiend is sealed there, so he needs to go and strengthen the seal regularly. To strengthen the seal, he needs to spend over half of his energy. Moreover, for secrecy, Long Fei would take only a few personal bodyguards with him. There will not be many guards inside and outside the Demonic Cave. At that time, it would be the best opportunity to make a move! In addition, tomorrow evening just happens to be the time when Long Fei will go out of the city.¡± Azure Dragon Lady didn¡¯t give up and slowly told him a secret. The most terrifying enemy would often be the most familiar person around you! In Azure Dragon Sect, no more than three people knew this secret. Even the few guards who followed Sect Master Long Fei to go outside the city didn¡¯t know the details. They didn¡¯t know that Long Fei would spend a large amount of his vitality. Unfortunately, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu happen to be one of the people who knew this secret. Suppressing and sealing the Plague Archfiend of Demonic Cave was the responsibility of every Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect. As early as more than ten years ago when the father of Azure Dragon Lady was still alive, Azure Dragon Lady had come to know of this secret. Every time her father returned from the Demonic Cave outside the city, her father would be exhausted and even after cultivating in seclusion for ten days or half a month, he wouldn¡¯t recover completely. One major reason her father died young was spending too much energy in this Demonic Cave. And after becoming the Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect, Long Fei obtained the power and Azure Dragon Lady he coveted even in a dream, but he also took over the heavy burden of every Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect. Otherwise, with his talent and heaven-defying Azure Dragon Secrets, if he didn¡¯t have to involve with Demonic Cave, then he would have already broken through to the Half-Sage realm. ¡°What¡¯s the chance?¡± Ye Chuan asked. His voice was low. ¡°60%, after obtaining Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, the cultivation of Long Fei has greatly progressed. This is the largest variable. No one knows what kind of boost Long Fei will receive with the combination of Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade and Azure Dragon Secrets.¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu spoke honestly. She didn¡¯t blindly entice Ye Chuan to make a move. She paused for a bit, and watching Ye Chuan, she sighed, ¡°Noble son Ye, this operation will be very dangerous, are you willing or unwilling, you should consider it carefully.¡± ¡°What? Lady, are you already reluctant to make me take risks?¡± Ye Chuan smiled and paused and said seriously, ¡°Lady, how many experts can you dispatch? What kind of abilities they have?¡± Both sides had great benefits to cooperate and kill Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. Although that was dangerous, it was a rare opportunity. Ye Chuan was unwilling to miss this chance. Even if it was not for Azure Dragon Lady, he would have considered it, otherwise, after Azure Dragon Sect Master led numerous experts to Cloud Mist Mountain Range, it would be hard to face them alone. ¡°Even with me, there are nine Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts. Among them, some are good at close combat, some are good at ambush and others are good a tracking. In addition, there is one peak Daoist Master realm great expert. He is good at close combat, doesn¡¯t feel pain and his attacks are ferocious, in addition, his defense is also powerful.¡± Azure Dragon Lady replied. After ascending to the throne of Sect Master, Long Fei cleansed a lot of dissidents, merely, as a beloved daughter of previous Sect Master, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu had some powerful supporters in secret. ¡°The peak Daoist Master realm expert you are speaking about, is he that coachman Old Han you sent over to pick me up?¡± Ye Chuan recalled that coachman who had no body temperature and heartbeat. ¡°Correct, it¡¯s Old Han, he is the personal bodyguard of my father, now, he only listens to my orders.¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu nodded her head and said, ¡°In front of the public, why did Long Fei hypocritically pretend to be deeply in love with me and doesn¡¯t dare to openly ill-treat me? On one hand, for the sake of his face, he intentionally befuddles public opinion. On the other hand, also because of Old Han. Before he obtained Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, Long Fei and Old Han were equally matched. Even if he went all out, he wouldn¡¯t be able to kill Old Han, but now, it is hard to say.¡± The complexion of Azure Dragon Lady was gloomy. She also hated Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han to her bones. It was fine for him to bring any other gifts, but he actually brought Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, this big killing weapon of Azure Dragon Sect, from imperial palace. This made the fighting power of Long Fei advance by leaps and bounds. Truly was too hateful! ¡°There is just one peak Daoist Master realm expert, hard, too hard!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. After fighting outside Azure Dragon Hall, Ye Chuan knew the strength of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. At that time, the other party had not refined Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, moreover, also hadn¡¯t used the might of Azure Dragon Secrets. Now, if he went all out, then Ye Chuan was afraid that even two or three peak Daoist Master realm experts might not necessarily be his opponent. In the mind of Ye Chuan, he recalled the scene of him, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and Nan Tiandu fighting against one State teacher Jiang Tunsheng just outside Cloud Mist Sect. Now, although Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei had yet to reach the level of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, he was infinitely close to that level. ¡°Noble son Ye, can¡¯t you call some expert of your Cloud Mist Sect?¡± Azure Dragon Lady asked with some expectation. No matter what people say, when all was said and done, Cloud Mist Sect was an ancient sect with a long history. An ordinary sect with only a thousand year history couldn¡¯t even compare to it. ¡°Lady, my Cloud Mist Sect is very weak, don¡¯t expect too much.¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°Including me, let alone later stage Daoist Master realm experts, there are only a few Daoist Master realm expert. As for peak Daoist Master realm great experts¡­¡­, there are only two.¡± Ye Chuan thought whether he could ask Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and that mysterious cyan robed Seventh Elder to make a move, but he discarded this thought in the next moment. The identity of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was special, moreover, it was the critical moment for her to become the next Heavenly Empress, so he shouldn¡¯t disturb her quiet cultivation. As for cyan robed Seventh Elder, he could say nothing. Last time, when State Teacher had come personally and killed all around, he didn¡¯t appear even at the key moment. Thus, he determined that making him leave the mountain to deal with Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei would be impossible. With regarding the disaster of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, Ye Chuan was still in the dark. He didn¡¯t know that she had already been suppressed under Heavenly Yao Peak. Horned Demon Na Gusi had gone undercover to the capital. So, calculating, the experts that could be dispatched were only Flame Devil, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Nan Tiandu and other very few people. ¡°That is enough, with two peak Daoist Master realm experts and Old Han, there will be three, we will have the chance like this. Noble son Ye, what do you say?¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu looked at Ye Chuan with expectation. Ye Chuan became silent for a moment and then nodded his head. The laughing voice of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was still coming from time to time, showing he was advancing by leaps and bounds. But, in the sleeping quarters that was not far away from his room, Ye Chuan and Azure Dragon Lady were plotting and discussing the specific details. And after they finished discussing, the two people were unable to control their passion and began vigorously again. They were enjoying to their heart¡¯s content before the danger. Ye Chuan was fine, but Azure Dragon Lady who had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time thoroughly went crazy and demanded more continuously. Chapter 363: Demonic Cave Chapter 363: Demonic Cave At the noon of the next day, a travel-worn and weary trade caravan came from afar entered Azure Dragon City. And under the arrangement of middleman, they didn¡¯t leave any trace. In this trade caravan, the overwhelming majority were ordinary merchants and guards, but the identity of some was extraordinary. After receiving the message of Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Flame Devil, Nan Tiandu and some others quickly rushed over to Azure Dragon City and lived in the place arranged by Azure Dragon Lady. After the night of madness, Ye Chuan returned to the wing room and changed his clothing after taking a bath, then cultivated, quietly waiting for the fierce battle at night. The two sides had already met secretly and everything was in its place and ready, now, they were just waiting for the opportune moment to come. At evening, when the evening lights were lit, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei really left Azure Dragon Sect quietly sitting on a carriage. It was an ordinary carriage with only five guards accompanying it. And like numerous odd-job men, they left the sect through the side door. No one paid any attention to them. No need to mention Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, this outsider, even the confidants of Long Fei also didn¡¯t know his whereabouts at this moment. Outside the city, on a dark hillock, Ye Chuan and Azure Dragon Lady were standing together, coldly watching the carriage of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei leaving the city gate. Behind these two people, a dozen or so black robed people with different heights were standing. Every one of them was solemn and quiet. All of them wore a black robe and a big bamboo hat on their head. ¡°Noble son Ye, can you agree to my one request?¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu asked. ¡°Speak.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°If I die here, I want you to bury me next to my father¡¯s grave.¡± Azure Dragon Lady said and looking solemn, she added, ¡°My mother died early. She died just after giving birth to me because of a difficult birth. When I was young, I was very mischievous, so father often scolded me. And after growing up a little, I only wanted to have fun, I didn¡¯t listen to him and cultivate half-heartedly. Later, when I finally became a little sensible and began to understand social snobbery and had to face many matters by myself, father however was already gone. So, after my death, I want to be buried together with my father so that I will be able to properly accompany him after death.¡± ¡°Okay, I will.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. ¡°Noble son Ye, what about you? Don¡¯t you have any last words?¡± Azure Dragon Lady asked. ¡°No.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and added, ¡°I don¡¯t want the people I love to hear my last word, and people who love me don¡¯t need my last words. Therefore, I want to live, no matter whether it is for the people I love or for the people that love me.¡± ¡°The people I love¡­¡­, the people that love me¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Lady muttered to herself, and looking at tall and straight Ye Chuan, she was in a daze for a moment. After leaving the city, the carriage of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was clearly speeding up. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Seeing the carriage of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was about to disappear in the horizon, Ye Chuan ran forward and others chased after him in succession. Like a bat that came out to hunt for food at night, this entire group of people coldly chased after the carriage far in front of them. After an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a valley. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei jumped out of the carriage and entered a cave at the end of this valley by himself. Although they were far from this cave, they could hear roaring sounds coming from inside this cave. And once in a while, the sounds of chains dragging would accompany the roar. This made Ye Chuan recall Evil Dragon Meng Ao who once was suppressed at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss. Inside and outside the valley, there was an inexplicably violent aura. Even the temperature was different from other places. And from time to time, a burst of heat wave would spread out from the valley. Ye Chuan and his party stopped outside the valley and Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu signaled. Then, one black robed person swayed like a snake and swam forward. Soon, the guards outside the valley fell one by one. There was no bloodstain on them, only their head was softly crooked to one side. Everyone had their neck twisted. Azure Snake Daoist Master! This was one of the experts loyal to Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu. He was also a normal disciple of her father and he was most skilled in assassination. The operation of tonight, both Ye Chuan and Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu were determined to make it a success. So, before killing Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei, they had to get rid of the guards inside and outside the valley to erase the variables. In the valley, there was only two line of defense. The guards on the periphery were responsible to guard the entrance of the valley. Although their cultivation base was remarkable, most of them were only in Xiushi realm, in addition, there were not many people, only 20-30 of them. Azure Snake Daoist Master got rid of all of them without anybody knowing. After Azure Snake Daoist Master accomplished his end, it was the turn of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu. She took off her bamboo hat and went straight over to the Demonic Cave at the end of the valley with some guards. Unlike the guards outside, the guards inside were more powerful. All of them were Daoist Master realm experts. Moreover, there were restrictions too. So, even Azure Snake Daoist Master couldn¡¯t sneak in. ¡°Who? Stop!¡± Seeing a few people were approaching, one guard shouted. ¡°What? Who is on the duty today? You all don¡¯t even recognize me?¡± Azure Dragon Lady coldly said and she continued to move forward, and the followers behind her also kept pace with her. ¡°Eh, it turned out to be the Lady!¡± The guards recognized her and they hastily greeted. Then, the leader awkwardly asked, ¡°Lady, you¡­¡­, how come you are also here?¡± ¡°My father can come here, my husband can also come here, but can it be that I cannot come here?¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu continued to walk forward, and the guards had no choice but to give her a way. The leader frowned and the moment they brush past him, he finally felt something was wrong. Those black robed people behind Azure Dragon Lady had dense killing intent. ¡°Stop, stop them!¡± A bone-chilling sword light suddenly flashed. The experts behind Azure Dragon Lady simultaneously made a move, instantly killing these guards as well as breaking the restriction outside the cave. And at the same time, countless vines sprang out from the ground, sharp arrows rained down from the sky and flying swords whistled through the air¡­¡­¡­ Old Demon of Mount Yin and others also made the move, attacking the remaining guards. This heavily guarded valley quickly fell into the hands of Ye Chuan¡¯s group. After that, according to the plan, the followers of Azure Dragon Lady quickly busied themselves to lay out a new restriction. This restriction was not only to deal with the possible reinforcement of Azure Dragon Sect, was even more to deal with Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei who had entered Demonic Cave a step ahead of them. They wanted to surround and kill him inside. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu looked beautiful and was a charming mature woman, however, she was soft outside but hard inside. In order to kill Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei, she had schemed for numerous days, preparing step by step. Such means was so fierce that Ye Chuan recalled another woman. She was Five Style Sect¡¯s Liu Hong who was beautiful but sinister. Both women were similarly charming and similarly schemer, but, compared to Liu Hong, Azure Dragon Lady was clearly different. Her nature was much better and her feminine flavor was much stronger. In addition, her luck seemed a bit better. Liu Hong was not so lucky. She latched on to the rich and powerful everywhere, but in the end, she still died in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, becoming a stone statue of Demonic Dragon Path. Now, no matter how beautiful she was, she had no way to seduce people now. From the beginning to the end, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t make a move, only watched critically. The real fierce battle has not yet begun! Chapter 364: Time and Space Demonic Wheel Chapter 364: Time and Space Demonic Wheel After the preparation was complete, the group entered Demonic Cave. Outside the cave, the burst of heat waves only shocked them, but after entering the cave, even hotter heat waves blew directly against them. Very quickly, the clothing of everyone was drenched with sweat. And the ground also became hotter and hotter as if they were walking towards the crater of a volcano. What was even stranger was, after entering the cave, they could no longer hear any sounds of outside, even their divine sense also couldn¡¯t sense outside as if this was a completely new world separated from the outside world. ¡°This place has an ancient restriction that existed for unknown numbers of years. Inside and outside of this cave is completely different. Unless one is Half-Sage realm expert, even divine sense is isolated.¡± Azure Dragon lady whispered. ¡°No wonder.¡± Ye Chuan looked around while walking. He finally knew why there was no response from Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei even though the guards outside were being killed. This cave was deep. There were many twists and turns leading downwards, seemingly, was the passage leading to the core of the earth. At an unknown time, pieces of cyan crystal stones had begun to appear on the ground. Ancient runes were engraved on them. Many crystal stones and runes combined together to form another restriction. And the deeper they went, the stronger the energy fluctuation in the air. Everyone felt heavy pressure and their strength as greatly reduced. Angry roaring sounds were getting clearer and clearer along with chains dragging sounds. The entire group of people was silent and they were getting more and more nervous. The same was true for Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu. What was in Demonic Cave, she was also not very clear. This was the first time she had personally come to this place. All of her understanding of this Demonic Cave comes from the words of her father. Now, it had already been many years since her father had passed away, so even she didn¡¯t know if some changes had occurred or not. Only Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei completely understand the situation of this place. A hint of red light appeared far away in the field of vision of everyone. When they walked in, they discovered that it was not a red light, rather was bright red magma. Even the air was boiling hot here. Taking a breath, one would fill their throat uncomfortable as if it was on fire. ¡°The place where Plague Archfiend is imprisoned is nearby, everyone, be careful and keep this Azure Dragon Pill in your mouth. Place it under your tongue, do not swallow it!¡± Azure Dragon Lady suddenly stopped and took out a crystal bottle from her bosom. It was filled with cyan pills. She gave one pill to each person. Keeping it in their mouth, they felt cool and refreshing, resisting the high temperature inside the cave. After a short rest, the group of people set out. And after roughly one hour, a huge grotto appeared in front of them. Inside the grotto, there were countless rune engraved crystal stones forming a restriction. And there were also many stone tablets with a fixed distance between them. There were more than 100 of those stone tablets around, forming a big circle. In the middle of this circle, a nearly three meters tall Ox-Headed Person was bound. Looking from far away, he somewhat resembled Horned Demon Na Gusi, but his energy fluctuation was violent, was vaguely not any inferior to Jiang Tunsheng, unexpectedly was a half-Sage realm evil spirit. He roared frequently and struggled to break free from his binding of rune chain. The one end of this rune chain bound this Ox-Headed Person and the other end was buried at the center of this circle. Perhaps, at the time of refining, this rune chain was very long, or perhaps, being pulled over a long period of time, it was stretched, but every time this Ox-Head Person rushed, he was almost able to rush out of the circle made by those stone tablets, and the rune chain around his body made sounds as if it would break at any moment. When he roared loudly, magma would suddenly appear under his foot and even huge rocks would melt down. Plague Archfiend! An archfiend who was suppressed and sealed for an unknown period of time appeared before the eyes of everyone. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei holding Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade jumped into the grotto and dodging the attacks of Plague Archfiend, he illuminated the stone tablets inside the grotto. The method of illumination was very simple. He just needed to press the stone tablet and drip a drop of essence blood, injecting his vitality into it. The originally dim stone tablets suddenly shone with cyan light, then the rune chain around the body of Plague Archfiend also shone with cyan light looking brand-new. After that, the rune chain slowly shortened, firmly bounding Plague Archfiend. Every stone tablets should be illuminated to complete the seal. Although it wasn¡¯t complicated, it was extremely dangerous to operate. The slight carelessness would make him fall into terrifying magma or even get caught by Plague Archfiend. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei used Wyvern in Sky, this peerless technique of Azure Dragon Sect, and nimbly jumped all around, moreover, sometimes he dangerously brush past Plague Archfiend. Naturally not to dodge, but to attack. He suddenly raised his Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade and slashed out, then the blade light suddenly shone violently and the might behind this sword slash was astonishing. Even this Half-Sage realm Plague Archfiend didn¡¯t dare to take this attack head-on. To illuminate the stone tablets, it was necessary to spend a drop of essence blood, exhausting his vitality. Slowly, skillful Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei also began to get tired and his movement also begun to slow down. Now, there were still some stone tablets that were yet to be illuminated. But, the attack of Plague Archfiend was still vigorous as before, the shorter the rune chain binding his body became, the stronger his attack. But, his attacks repeatedly missed, and Azure Dragon Sect Master brushed past him again and again, and he could only roar angrily. Ye Chuan, Azure Dragon Lady and others quietly stood in the dark far away. They didn¡¯t utter a word and didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly. Personally seeing the scene in front of them, all of them were shocked. Regardless of Plague Archfiend or Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei, their cultivation base was heaven-defying. Any one of them could sweep across the world. Even Nan Tiandu and Old Demon of Mount Yin who similarly peak Daoist Master realm experts were also shocked. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was far stronger than they imagined. But, along with the exhaustion of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei, they began to see the chance. The group slowly began to tense. Everyone was stretched taut. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu raised her hand and made a signal, signaling people to keep calm and don¡¯t act rashly. Inside the grotto, there were still a dozen or so stone tablets that were not illuminated. This required even more vitality. By then, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei would be even weaker. And during the time when he had just obtained a success, his alertness would be decreased to the maximum degree, and making move at that time will undoubtfully give them a bigger harvest. Roar! Plague Archfiend roared angrily and repeatedly attacked violently. Once all stone tablets were illuminated, his hopes of freeing himself would be gone. Every three months, when the stone tablets¡¯ restriction loosen slightly, Azure Dragon Sect Master would come to reinforce it. Months after months, years after years, this had been the case, making him feel hopeless. In addition, once Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei breakthrough to Half-Sage realm, it would be even more impossible to free himself. At that time, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei who was in an advantageous situation suddenly stopped when there were only seven stone tablets left to illuminate. He looked at this Plague Archfiend and said, ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, hand over your Time and Space Demonic Wheel and I will free you, how is that?¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei took a deep breath and made an offer to Plague Archfiend. The complexion of Azure Dragon Lady changed and suddenly recalled what her father had said before his death. The reason why Azure Dragon Sect had sealed and suppressed Plague Archfiend from generation to generation was because, on one hand, to imprison this terrifying archfiend so as to prevent him from creating chaos everywhere, and on the other hand, also to obtain a peerless treasure, Time and Space Demonic Wheel, within the body of this Plague Archfiend. According to the legend, Plague Archfiend was an expert from the world beyond the highest heaven. He relied on this Time and Space Demonic Wheel to come to this Heavenly Fire Continent. With this treasure, one could travel to and fro between Wilderness World and the world beyond the highest heaven as one pleases. Now, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was already so powerful, if he obtained this powerful treasure, then who can be his opponent? Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was so nervous that she was unable to breathe properly. Chapter 365: I have been waiting for this day for a long time Chapter 365: I have been waiting for this day for a long time Roar! Plague Archfiend angrily roared and ferociously charged forward as the answer to the proposal of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. Time and Space Demonic Wheel was his fate killing weapon, in addition, he needed it to return to the world beyond the highest heaven. If he wanted to exchange it for his life, then why would he wait until today to hand it over? ¡°Humph, a devil is after all a devil, so stubborn! Now, you don¡¯t look so powerful, I wonder who is more powerful now!¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei¡¯s voice was sharp, resembling a woman¡¯s voice. And just after speaking, he suddenly moved sideways to dodge, then rushed towards Plague Archfiend. At this moment, his body dazzled and indistinctly transformed into an azure dragon, then as if baring fangs and brandishing claws, Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade in his hand trembled making a buzzing sound. After that, the blade chopped down, and even air seemed to be torn apart. ¡°Azure Dragon Secrets, he¡­¡­, did he truly made a breakthrough and transform into a dragon?¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu suddenly covered her mouth and didn¡¯t dare to speak more. Her complexion however was pale and disbelief was written all over her face along with a little fear. Wyvern in Sky was the life technique of successive sect masters of Azure Dragon Sect, but there was a secret, i.e., Azure Dragon Sect furthermore had an even more powerful cultivation technique. It was this mysterious Azure Dragon Secrets. But, according to what the father of Azure Dragon Lady had said when he was alive, that was an evil cultivation technique. Cultivation this technique, one would become neither male nor female, and then gradually lose reason, becoming a madman that only knew to kill. And achieving success in the cultivation of this technique, one would transform into an azure dragon and one¡¯s strength would vastly increase, but their heart would increasingly become abnormal and they would regard the entire world as an enemy. A dazzling red dot appeared under the foot of Plague Archfiend, and it suddenly spread out. That was bright red magma. But Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei simply stepped on the magma and rushed to the front of Plague Archfiend and ruthlessly chopped down. And his blade just happened to land on the thigh of this Plague Archfiend. However, exceeding his expectation, the right leg of this Plague Archfiend wasn¡¯t cut off. There wasn¡¯t even a wound. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei felt as if his blade had hit a solid steel plate. In the next moment, the ground below Plague Archfiend crack open and a powerful shock wave spread all around. ¡°Overestimating your capabilities! Your master, your master¡¯s master, even they weren¡¯t capable enough to snatch Time and Space Demonic Wheel from this lordship, surnamed Long, are you capable enough? I like this blade, let it accompany this lordship, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Plague Archfiend roared with laughter and he suddenly trembled and swayed, transforming into a three-eyed toad. It seemed he was a thousand times bigger than an ordinary toad. His belly was white, but his back was green in color and oily, moreover, was full of big and small bumps. Now, he was also a thousand times uglier than before. After transforming, his stomach swelled and then opening his mouth, he breathed in and Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was unable to stand stably. It seemed he wanted to swallow Sect Master Long Fei whole. ¡°As it turned out you are truly a Three-Eyed Toad!¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei coldly snorted, and transforming into a dragon, he revolved around, faster and faster, then suddenly jumping over Plague Archfiend, he took advantage of this opportunity and chopped down ruthlessly with his blade. This time, the blade landed on the head of Plague Archfiend, just three inches above the three eyes of the latter. In this attack, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei had mustered all his strength, so this attack was very powerful. This Plague Archfiend was unable to withstand this attack and blood flowed out from his head. Roar! Plague Archfiend roared and opening its mouth, it spat out a mouthful of poisonous mist. The complexion of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei changed. He couldn¡¯t afford to follow up and attack. He hastily retreated. But, he touched a bit of this poisonous mist and the skin of his right hand begun to fester, revealing white bones. The poison of Three-Eyed Toad! Plague Archfiend was also fighting desperately. He didn¡¯t hesitate to spend his vitality to fight back. As a Half-Sage realm evil spirit, he possessed remarkable abilities and needless to say he was very powerful. In addition, he had the ability to melt the ground and change it into magma. And after displaying his true form, he could open his mouth and swallow his enemy whole. But, his most powerful innate skill was this distinctive poisonous mist. Carelessly inhaling this poisonous mist, even the skin of a Half-Sage realm expert would fester. And, even more terrifying matter was, it was contagious, it would spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, quickly becoming a plague. When he first came to Heaven Fire Continent from the world beyond the highest heaven, relying on this ability, Plague Archfiend turned a thousand li of land into a barren land in the space of a night. Everyone within a thousand li contacted this plague and died with the festering of their skin. Then, the ominous name of Plague Archfiend spread around. In the end, this Plague Archfiend encountered the founder of Azure Dragon Sect and was suppressed here with his great technique and this restriction for thousands of years. ¡°Humph, old devil, be complacent while you can! I will see until when you can be so complacent!¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei didn¡¯t dare to rush forward again. He jumped back to the periphery and began illuminating the remaining seven stone tablets one by one. The festering of his right hand not only didn¡¯t stop, instead became even fiercer. There was a sign of it spreading to his shoulder, so Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei didn¡¯t dare to be negligent. And after taking a few breaths to calm himself down, he turned around, preparing to return to Azure Dragon Sect to heal his injury and come back again. At that time, a dozen or so figures suddenly rushed out from the dark and rushed towards Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was personally rushing in the front. She decisively launched an attack, leading her followers. In the blink of an eye, there were glint and flash of daggers and swords. When Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was very exhausted and was most relaxed without the slightest alertness, they attacked with all their strength. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei brandished Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade in his hand to block all attacks. And in the next moment, his cold blade streak across the air, and one scream after other resounded in succession. Practically at the same time, five Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts became a pool of blood. Even if he was unprepared, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei instantly reacted instinctively, moreover, his counterattack was incomparably swift and fierce! Instantly, together with Ye Chuan, the heart of everything became ice-cold. Watching the fierce battle between Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei and Plague Archfiend was nothing. Personally entering the battle, they truly experienced the power of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. The cultivation base of the latter was not unfathomable like that of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, but his attack was swifter and fiercer! ¡°Battle formation, kill him!¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu shouted loudly and rushed forward gritting her teeth. The remaining black robed people also didn¡¯t hesitate, they also rushed forward, risking their lives. In a brief period of time, sword qi and blade light flew everywhere, and Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei became even paler as he exhausted even more vitality. But, more black robed people became a pool of blood. Practically in the blink of an eye, among 11 experts brought along by Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu, only two were left. One was living corpse Old Han who neither had body temperature nor heartbeat, and the other one was Azure Snake Daoist Master. On the contrary, Flame Devil, Nan Tiandu and Old Demon of Mount Yin beside Ye Chuan were more scared than hurt, bearing the overwhelming majority of pressure. ¡°Lady, is that you?¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei looked around and his gaze remained at the graceful Azure Dragon Lady then he said with a cold smile, ¡°Junior apprentice sister, after so many years, you finally couldn¡¯t endure?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me.¡± Azure Dragon Lady took off the big bamboo hat and looked at Azure Dragon Sect Master with dense killing intent. ¡°Hahaha, good, good. In ten years of married life, every year, every day and every night, you suffered such humiliation, junior apprentice sister truly has the ability to endure, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei roared with laughter, discarding the hypocritical mask of former days. In the past ten years, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu had never not wanted to kill Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei, and she had always been waiting for this day to make a move. But who would have thought that Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was also waiting for this day. He had always been humiliating Azure Dragon Lady while waiting for such day. If he didn¡¯t force Azure Dragon Lady to make a move, then how could he thoroughly eliminate the trusted subordinates of his Master? How could he completely wipe out Azure Dragon Lady as well as all her trusted aides? ¡°Hahaha, hahahahaha¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei roared with laughter. Even though he was being ambushed, he had no fear as he had absolute confidence in his own strength. Chapter 366: I am very weak Chapter 366: I am very weak ¡°Azure Snake Daoist Master, Old Han¡­¡­, good, good, you all are also here, just perfect, now I can round up the whole gang at one fell swoop. Unfortunately, you all cannot even withstand a single blow!¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei looked at other people and said. Then looking towards Ye Chuan, Nan Tiandu and others, he was somewhat surprised as he said, ¡°Who are you all? Still not daring to show your appearance? Let me see what kind of helpers are invited by junior apprentice sister.¡± Ye Chuan took off the big bamboo hat and calmly looked at Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. Next, Nan Tiandu and others also took off their big bamboo hat. ¡°Eh, who are you?¡± The gaze of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was sinister. And he naturally noticed that Ye Chuan was the leader of this group at first glance. As he sees it, the cultivation of Flame Devil was nothing. But, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu were different. They were peak Daoist Master realm expert. As for Ye Chuan, his energy fluctuation was very mediocre, it seemed his cultivation base was even inferior to Flame Devil. But, this precisely made Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei have most misgivings. The matters that couldn¡¯t be seen through and unfathomable were even more terrifying. Who was Ye Chuan? How come he was the leader of two peak Daoist Master realm experts? What was his background? Or, did he had a special technique? ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, weren¡¯t you looking for me?¡± Ye Chuan gave a signal and Nan Tiandu and others spread around Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. ¡°I was looking for you?¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was even more confused and was somewhat at a loss. He racked his brains but he was unable to think of where he had seen such an old man. And he also didn¡¯t seem to have heard about such an old man. After ascending to the Sect Master throne of Azure Dragon Sect, in all these last few years, he had made many enemies, but all of them had died. All loose cultivators and tyrants in the vicinity of Azure Dragon Prefecture had either fled or died. There was not a single person that could threaten the dominance of Azure Dragon Sect. And inside Azure Dragon Sect, all experts that were disloyal or didn¡¯t submit to him were also secretly or directly gotten rid by him, including many trusted subordinates and trusted aides of his Master. After thinking carefully for a while, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was still unable to remember where he had seen such an old man, so he frowned. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, open your eyes and look carefully again.¡± Ye Chuan silently used a technique, dispelling Nine Demonic Transformation Technique. His body began to shake and slowly change into a young and vigorous youth from an old man, revealing his true appearance. Even living corpse Old Han and Azure Snake Daoist Master beside Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu were surprised and had their eyes wide open. They truly found this inconceivable. Nine Demonic Transformation Technique had already been lost in current Heavenly Fire Continent, so this disguising technique of Ye Chuan was beyond the expectation of everyone. ¡°Boy, you¡­¡­, are you the Big Disciple Ye¡­¡­ Ye Chuan of Cloud Mist Sect?¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei cried out in alarm and suddenly recalling a person, he was startled and angry. Just two days ago, he had seen the portrait of Ye Chuan in the room of Li Guang Han. Now, he carefully looked at Ye Chuan standing before him and again looked at Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu at one side, then, he was so angry that he laughed and said, ¡°Good, good, junior apprentice sister Feihu, I truly didn¡¯t expect you to actually collaborate with Cloud Mist Sect. But, do you think you can kill this senior apprentice brother with just this? What a pipe dream, hahahaha¡­¡­, come all together, and let this lordship send you all in your way!¡± Buzz! Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade in the hand of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei vibrated and his killing intent soared. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was very angry and his killing intent increased vastly. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu¡¯s surprise attack was within his expectation. He had been intentionally humiliating Murong Feihu for the past many years to force her to make a move so as to completely eradicate remaining dissidents within Azure Dragon Sect. But, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu had unexpectedly joined hands with Ye Chuan, this big disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. This exceeded his expectation so he was angry. Everyone was silent, feeling tense. Feeling the threatening killing intent of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei, no one dared to rashly make a move, especially Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu, Azure Snake Daoist Master and living corpse Old Han. Now that Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei had achieved success in Azure Dragon Secrets and also had obtained Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, this big killing weapon of the sect, he was no longer the former Long Fei. He was still very powerful even though he had already exhausted a lot of his vitality. At this moment, the first one to make a move was certain to receive his violent counterattack! ¡°Hahaha, does no one dare to make a move?¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei roared with laughter and looked at Azure Dragon Lady and her group, then turning to Ye Chuan, he ferociously said, ¡°Surnamed Ye, what, do you also not dare to make a move? You have the courage to sneak into my Azure Dragon Prefecture and join hands with my wife, but now, are you afraid and not dare to make a move? Hahahaha¡­¡­ if you all don¡¯t dare to make a move, then this lordship will make a move. This lordship will behead all of you!¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei took a step forward and a powerful pressure spread around. Then, raising the sharp Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, he ferociously chopped down. Instantly, the pupils of everyone shrunk and their heartbeat accelerated, preparing their strongest attack. ¡°Stop!¡± When the battle was about to start, Ye Chuan suddenly shouted, ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, I have a matter that I must speak first.¡± ¡°What, surnamed Ye, do you want to surrender?¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei laughed, and Azure Dragon Lady and her group became nervous and felt uneasy. Now, if Ye Chuan changed his mind and leave with Nan Tiandu, Flame Devil and Old Demon of Mount Yin, then with only Azure Dragon Lady and her group, they will absolutely not be the opponent of Azure Dragon Sect Master. They would definitely die under the hand of the latter. ¡°No, I just want to tell you something.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. ¡°Boy, say it.¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei sneered and coldly said, ¡°Even if you want to delay for the time, it is useless. Now, no one can save you, and your Cloud Mist Sect is also finished. After this lordship kills you, I will flatten your Cloud Mist Sect. Don¡¯t blame this lordship for being too cruel, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not having the ability and courting death by provoking this lordship!¡± ¡°Well, I have no ability and I am very weak.¡± Ye Chuan paused and slowly added, ¡°I just wanted to say that your wife is very charming. Her figure is good and her dance is even better. Last night, I enjoyed her dance together with you, I truly consider myself most fortunate for that. Like this, I will definitely regret if I die now as I will not be able to see that scene again.¡± The complexion of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei suddenly changed, becoming purplish red like a pig liver. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu also blushed, merely, she was so embarrassed that she was itching to pinch Ye Chuan. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei however hated Ye Chuan so much that he was dying to behead Ye Chuan with his blade. But, after a short while, Azure Dragon Lady realized that Ye Chuan was intentionally enraging Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei to make him lose his rationale. ¡°Brat, you¡­¡­ did you see last night?¡± The face of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was twisted and eyes seemed to be burning. ¡°Not only see, moreover, also did the deed. Your Excellency Sect Master, my restraint had always been very poor unlike you. You just watched but did nothing, moreover, you were actually able to restrain yourself for more than ten years, I truly admire you. Compared to you, I was far worse, I didn¡¯t have such ability, so I was unable to endure last night.¡± Ye Chuan looked at Azure Dragon Sect Master and ridiculed. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, brat, I will kill you!¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei roared and he rushed towards Ye Chuan in rage. Granted that they collaborated to kill him, but Ye Chuan and Azure Dragon Lady had done the deed, how could he not fly into a rage? After cultivating Azure Dragon Secrets, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei had increasingly becoming abnormal. He didn¡¯t really regard Murong Feihu as his wife and had always humiliated her, stepping on her dignity. But this really doesn¡¯t mean that he could let Murong Feihu stained by another man! Now, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei who originally was laughing heartily was unable to laugh all of a sudden, and he was full of anger! Chapter 367: Dragon Slaying War Chapter 367: Dragon Slaying War Sharp Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade chopped down towards Ye Chuan making an ice-cold cyan blade light in the sky. Under his anger, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei went all out to attack, and the blade light rose suddenly and sharply. This ice-cold cyan blade light was nearly one meter long, in addition, there was a long hilt, thus, there was basically no way to get close to him. On the other side, a small banner suddenly appeared in the palm of Ye Chuan, then wind rose abruptly. Soon, a huge banner appeared inside the cave. Just the flagpole was ten meters long and the fluttering banner was emitting dense killing intent. Ye Chuan quickly retreated, and waved this huge banner to stop the attack of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. Ding! Iron Blooded Banner and Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade collided. The purlicue of Ye Chuan tingled as he let out a muffled groan. Iron Blooded Banner however didn¡¯t receive any damage. It stopped the attack of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, attack together to kill him!¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu shouted loudly and everyone rushed forward to surround and kill Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. The reason why Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was all the more ferocious was, on one hand, he had heaven-defying cultivation base, and on the other hand, he had incomparably sharp Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade in his hands. Any swords, armors and others couldn¡¯t even withstand its one slash. Just a moment ago, those experts became a pool of blood because of this reason. Meeting one attack from this blade would result in either severe injury or get cut into two half. This made the scalp of others tremble. But the Iron Blooded Banner in the hand of Ye Chuan unexpectedly blocked this Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade of Azure Dragon Sect Master without any problem. This re-ignited the fighting spirit of Azure Dragon Lady and others and they confidently joined the battle. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu reacted the fastest. She became the first person to initiate a counterattack. Her eyes were burning with deep hatred towards Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. She wanted to kill him even if she had to give up her life. Her weapon was also a rare type. It was a pair of hooked thorns. Their tips were sharp and the rear three inches had a hook. They could stab and also hook. She especially attacked the face, throat and other vital parts of Azure Dragon Sect Master. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei hastily counterattacked with his blade. But his blade was unexpectedly hooked by the hooked thorn in the right hand of Azure Dragon Lady, and at the same time, the hooked thorn in her left hand was stabbed straight towards the chest of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. ¡°Junior apprentice sister, your Ruyi Hook is getting more and more powerful, but if you want to defeat this senior apprentice brother, then there is still a huge gap, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei laughed and suddenly put forth his strength to pull. The horned thorn in the right hand of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu slipped out of her hand. And before she cried out in alarm, ice-cold blade light arrived in front of her. Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade was ruthlessly chopping down towards her head. A millstone-sized hammer suddenly appeared and collided against the sharp Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade. Living corpse Old Han had rushed over to help block the killing move of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. Unexpectedly, Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade slightly changed its direction towards his left shoulder, and his left hand was ruthlessly chopped off at the base. ¡°Old Han¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu screamed, but the complexion of living corpse Old Han remained unchanged. He neither frowned nor look at his hand on the ground. But the heavy hammer on his hand slipped out of his hand and ruthlessly smashed the chest of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei, breaking several ribs of the latter. Living corpse Old Han was the only peak Daoist Master realm expert beside Azure Dragon Lady. He was also the most loyal confidant of her father. His heavy hammer wasn¡¯t his most powerful aspect, rather was his distinctive physique without the sense of pain. In the instant he had suffered a heavy injury, he ferociously counterattacked. And at that moment, Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei didn¡¯t have time to dodge and similarly suffered a heavy injury. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, damn you all!¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei roared loudly and indistinctly transformed in an azure dragon. Then, he ferociously rushed forward, wanting to kill both Azure Dragon Lady and living corpse Old Han in one move. But, from the ground, countless vines suddenly sprang out and rushed towards Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. The latter brandished his Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade to cut off the vines. But over thousand meter dragon was waiting for him in the front and they collided head-on. Nan Tiandu and Old Demon of Mount Yin also made a move, displaying their techniques. In the blink of an eye, the situation changed. Both sides fought ferociously with weapons. The slightest bit of carelessness would be fatal at this moment. Along with a fluttering sounds, Iron Blooded Banner appeared once again. And like a spear, it stabbed towards the chest of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei from far away along with the voice of Ye Chuan, ¡°Attack his chest, kill him!¡± The chest of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei had suffered a heavy injury and the injury was getting worse. Ye Chuan concentrated at this point to attack. And the others also attacked at this weak point of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. Even living corpse Old Han picked up his heavy hammer and joined the battle. Although he was getting weaker and weaker due to the loss of blood, he had exchanged one arm to inflict a heavy injury on Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. And that exchange was worth it. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei who considered himself the best in the world quickly felt pressure and noticed that this situation was anything but reassuring. In the beginning, Long had charged forward and had taken the initiative to attack violently, but slowly, he began to get tired and just defended, in addition, he received more and more injuries. After illuminating more than 100 stone tablets, he had already spent a lot of vitality, and later, in the battle against Plague Archfiend, his right hand was corroded by the poisonous mist. In addition to these, living corpse Old Han had inflicted heavy injury on his chest, and his always successful Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade was also restrained by Iron Blooded Banner of Ye Chuan. As a result, under the attack of Old Demon of Mount Yin, Nan Tiandu and others, it was getting more and more difficult. ¡°Slut, consider yourself lucky today, just wait until I return to Azure Dragon Sect, then I will look for you all to settle accounts!¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei suddenly made a move. He withstood the attack of Nan Tiandu and rushed out of the encirclement, rushing towards the exit. Since fighting reckless was out of option, he prepared to slip away. Unfortunately, he discovered that the exit was already sealed with restriction by Ye Chuan and others. And he basically didn¡¯t have any time to break it. In addition, even more frightening matter was, his legs had begun to itch and ache. And looking down, he saw that his battle boots were already rotten and his legs had begun to rot. A dangerous poison powder was sprinkled on the ground! Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was scared out of his wits and he hastily returned. But, he was welcomed by even more ferocious attacks. Before long, Iron Blooded Banner of Ye Chuan withstood his Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade and Nan Tiandu sent him flying. Next, before his body had fallen to the ground, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu¡¯s Ruyi Hooks had stabbed him, and countless vines covered him. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, resign yourself to fate. You are doomed to die here, you will not be able to escape even if given wings!¡± Ye Chuan holding Iron Blooded Banner rushed forward and used General Step to attack Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei who had just cut off countless vines. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was sent flying again. Ye Chuan had used the strength of eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body in his attack and his strength of 144,000 jin had erupted suddenly, smashing the internal organs of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. ¡°Since I am doomed to die, you all also shouldn¡¯t think about living this place alive, haha, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei stood up and laughed like a madman. Then, suddenly turning around, he cut off the rune chain which bound Plague Archfiend. ¡°No¡­¡­¡± ¡°This madman!¡± The complexion of Azure Dragon Lady and others changed greatly and their limbs became cold. Even Ye Chuan was the same. Instantly, he felt an unparalleled wave of power spreading all around, and Plague Archfiend who had been sealed for thousands of years roared with laughter as his energy fluctuation rose sharply. Chapter 368: Judgment day of Guang Han Chapter 368: Judgment day of Guang Han Roar! Plague Archfiend again transformed into Three Eyed Toad and roared angrily, swallowing Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei whole. But the laughter of the latter was still reverberating even though he had already disappeared. ¡°The taste of Azure Dragon Sect Master is truly not ordinary, hahaha!¡± Plague Archfiend roared with laughter and he knocked down several stone tablets while rushing out, finally escaping from the seal that had sealed him for thousands of years. ¡°Be careful!¡± Ye Chuan waved Iron Blooded Banner in his hand and jumped up, then hung down from the roof like a bat. Azure Dragon Lady, Nan Tiandu and others followed suit and got out of the way in succession. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was already hard to deal with, let alone this Half-Sage realm Plague Archfiend. They were unable to stop him. Fortunately, after escaping from the seal, Plague Archfiend was eager to return to the outside world. He didn¡¯t continue fighting, he just roared and rushed out of the cave. The restriction and poison powders at the exit of this cave that gave a hard time to Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei weren¡¯t even able to stop this peerless evil spirit that came from the world beyond the highest heaven for a second. In the darkness, a muffled groan resounded. Old Han was finally unable to support himself and fell to the ground. He didn¡¯t have body temperature, didn¡¯t have a heartbeat and his physique was extraordinary, but in addition to losing an arm, his vitality was greatly damaged. After Plague Archfiend left, he was unable to hold on anymore. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu hastily rushed over and bandaged his wounds. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Nan Tiandu and Azure Snake Daoist Master walked all around and quickly cleaned up the battlefield. In addition to Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, they found a booklet. That booklet had ¡®Azure Dragon Secrets¡¯ written on its cover. It seemed that this booklet had fallen from the bosom of Azure Dragon Sect Master during the intense battle. Both of them were Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s things. Now that Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei had died, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was the power holder. Ye Chuan shook his head and looked towards Old Demon of Mount Yin, signaling him to give them to Azure Dragon Lady. Azure Dragon Lady took Azure Dragon Secrets and after reluctantly feeling about this book, she burned it to ashes. ¡°Lady, you¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan was surprised. ¡°This is a forbidden evil technique. It harms more than benefit, so destroying it is much better, lest big traitor like wicked Long Fei will appear again in Azure Dragon Sect. As for this Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu brandished it a few times and then walked over to Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, the ancients had said that fresh flowers should be gifted to beauties and fine swords should be gifted to heroes, I give you this Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade.¡± ¡°Lady¡­¡­¡± Old Han and Azure Snake Daoist Master exclaimed in great shock. This Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade was not only just a treasure, but was also a big killing weapon that suppressed the fate of their sect. They had obtained it again with great difficulty, how can it be given to an outsider? ¡°Lady, take it back.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and graciously declined the gift of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu, ¡°Legend said that this big killing weapon suppresses the fate of your Azure Dragon Sect, such a big gift, who can receive it?¡± Although Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade was powerful, Ye Chuan already had Iron Blooded Banner which was in no way any inferior to it, in addition, he truly didn¡¯t have much interest in this blade. ¡°Noble son Ye, there is an even bigger gift, will you accept?¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu raised herself slightly and looked up to Ye Chuan, revealing her fair and slender neck as well as a bit of her snow-white bosom and said softly, ¡°Legend is just legend, this Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade had been lost for so many years, but isn¡¯t our sect still fine? Now, although Long Fei is dead, his trusted aides and underlings still exists. I am unable to eradicate them with just my strength. Noble son Ye, if you have nothing urgent, then can you live in Azure Dragon Sect for a few more days and give me a chance to properly entertain you to thank you for the help, how about it?¡± Azure Dragon Lady¡¯s gaze was soft and her face was somewhat flushed. Although Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei had died, there were still many minions and confidants of his inside the sect. But Azure Dragon Lady¡¯s force was too weak now as she had lost many experts of her side. Now, if she wanted to control the sect, then she naturally needed the help of Ye Chuan. This Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade was useless, so it was better to give it to Ye Chuan as the gift and naturally, the bigger gift was¡­¡­ Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu beat around the bush but Ye Chuan understood and that madness of last night appeared in his mind. ¡°Alright, I will stay for a few more days. There is an old friend staying in your sect, it is time to go and see him.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and handing over Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade to Nan Tiandu, his face became ferocious remembering someone. Li Guang Han, that fellow had made things difficult for him several times. After the failure of the last operation against Cloud Mist Sect, he was still unwilling to give up. He ran over to Azure Dragon Sect to stir up troubles. This time, Ye Chuan would not leave a future trouble. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s return to Azure Dragon Sect!¡± Azure Dragon Lady instructed and turned to leave. Now, taking advantage of the occasion when the news of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei¡¯s death had not spread, they had to seize the power of the sect and eradicate underlings of Long Fei. If they were late, then another trouble may arise. After they cleaned up the battlefield, they hastily left, and after exiting the cave, Nan Tiandu brandished Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, collapsing this Demonic Cave. Now, the cave inside was buried forever. When they were coming, although their speed was fast, they didn¡¯t dare to use their full speed as they feared that Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei in his carriage might notice them, so their speed was restrained to some extent. Now, when they were returning, all of them went all-out without any misgivings. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu and others were streaking across the sky stepping on flying sword. Only Nan Tiandu and Ye Chuan were running like wild on the ground. Not only their speed wasn¡¯t slow, on the contrary, but their speed was also faster than flying swords. Seeing this, Azure Dragon Lady and others were speechless. Late at night, the busy flow of people had quieted down. The disciples had either went to sleep or were cultivating. Such a big sect was very quiet without any unusualness. At this moment, the overwhelming majority of people didn¡¯t know the whereabouts of Sect Master Long Fei and even more didn¡¯t know that he had already died. But, there was one exception. Inside Azure Dragon Courtyard in the vicinity of Azure Dragon Hall where Azure Dragon Sect receives special honored guests, there was a study and an oil lamp was still burning in this room. Under the oil lamp, a youth wearing a mask was sitting in front of a desk and he held a writing brush and ink that was already ground by servants. He appeared as if he wanted to copy some calligraphy or write a letter, but the youth had not begun to write anything. His heart was restless and he didn¡¯t know what he should write. After a long time, he exerted strength in his fingers and the writing brush was snapped into two. ¡°Your Highness, it¡¯s already late, please rest first.¡± An imperial guard stepped forward and offered advice. ¡°Rest? Tomorrow, we are setting off to Cloud Mist Sect to kill that brat Ye Chuan. But, Sect Master Long Fei has yet to return, how can I rest?¡± Li Guang Han was feeling restless. He stood up and moved back and forth inside the study. After walking for a few moments, he suddenly sat in front of the desk again, then pick up another writing brush again. After that, he wrote many ¡®Ye Chuan¡¯ on a blank sheet of paper. Tonight, he didn¡¯t know why but he had a very bad premonition. He felt that something big would happen tonight and felt ill at ease. And thinking of Ye Chuan who was increasingly getting stronger, he felt more and more restless and he hatefully gnashed his teeth. Chapter 369: A pitiful person Chapter 369: A pitiful person Late at night, the wind got stronger and stronger and the temperature also got colder and colder. A burst of cold wind blew inside from the window and the imperial guard drew back his neck feeling cold. Li Guang Han who had strong body however felt nothing. Just the paper in front of him was blown away by the wind. ¡°Kill, kill, kill¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han took a new blank paper and wrote two words ¡®Ye Chuan¡¯ in big font, then wrote kill throughout the paper while gnashing his teeth. Originally, he would have returned from Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm with good results and would also have obtained the good graces of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia; Originally, he was securely sitting on the throne of Da Qin Crown Prince, and after achieving meritorious deeds, he would just be waiting to become next Da Qin King; However, because of Ye Chuan, everything changed. His appearance changed into current neither ghost nor human appearance. Half of his face was a human face and the other half was iron, in addition, his father emperor didn¡¯t even give him an audience. Although his status had not been revoked yet, was still Da Qing Crown Prince, people were already bringing the talk of impeachment in secret. The voice for replacing crown prince was intensifying among the court and the commons. Li Guang Han suddenly took off his mask and looking at the mirror hanging on the wall, he slowly caressed his own face. His handsome appearance still exists. His thick eyebrows, bright and piercing eyes, and straight bridge of the nose, they were still as handsome as before, unfortunately, only half of them remain. The left half of his face could captivate women, but the right half of his face would make women scream in fear. He was neither human nor ghost now. If he went out at night, then even ghosts would be frightened by him! ¡°Kill, kill, Ye Chuan, I will definitely kill you¡­¡­¡± Looking at his own current appearance, the heart of Li Guang Han was bleeding. He gnashed his teeth and muttered to himself as the left half of his face twisted. ¡°Your Highness, Your Highness¡­¡­, it¡¯s already late, you¡­¡­¡± The imperial guard offered advice again. He didn¡¯t know why but he was also feeling somewhat uneasy. The surrounding was too quiet. It was somewhat strange. He subconsciously wanted to leave this room and go far away. Li Guang Han didn¡¯t utter a word. He just suddenly turned around. The imperial guard cried out in alarm and trembled. Although this was not the first time he had seen the true face of Li Guang Han, seeing his this neither ghost nor person appearance in the middle of the night, he was so scared that he jumped. Especially, at this moment, the face of Li Guang Han was twisted, becoming even more frightening. ¡°Heizi, what, am I so frightening?¡± Li Guang Han gloomily asked looking at this trembling imperial guard. ¡°No¡­¡­, no, Your Highness, your appearance is good, it¡¯s¡­¡­, it¡¯s me¡­¡­¡± The teeth of imperial guard Heizi chattered. He wanted to provide an explanation, but he stuttered not knowing what to say. Without warning, the big hand of Li Guang Han grabbed the neck of imperial guard Heizi and roared with laughter, ¡°Hahaha, my appearance is good? Well then, Haizi, carefully look at my appearance, look more, hahaha¡­¡­.¡± Li Guang Han roared with laughter, looking just like a madman. And the strength in his hand was getting stronger and stronger, making this imperial guard Haizi unable to breathe. Li Guang Han even lifted him up with his neck. ¡°Your Highness, I¡­¡­, spare¡­¡­¡± The imperial guard Haizi struggled with all his strength and he used his dangling legs to kick Li Guang Han. But, relying on his initial stage Daoist Master realm cultivation base, how could he be the opponent of Li Guang Han? His eyes went white after struggling for a while, then his head weakly drooped down as his neck was broken. At that moment, the door was kicked open, and several guards nervously rushed in as if they were facing a formidable foe. But, when they saw the situation inside the room, they were startled, then they silently turned around and left the room. After that, they went far away from this study while trembling, lest they would become the next Heizi. Li Guang Han, this Da Qin Crown Prince was getting more and more difficult to serve nowadays. He regularly acted like a lunatic and it was hard to figure him out, as a result, the loyal and devoted guards of former days secretly retreated far away. In the past, following Li Guang Han, they could run amuck and had a boundless prospect, but now, if they continued to follow him, then they would become just like that imperial guard Heizi! ¡°Hahaha, kill, kill, why are you not jumping again? Why aren¡¯t you struggling? Hahaha¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han roared with laughter as he imagined this imperial guard Haizi as Ye Chuan. Now, he was gnashing his teeth and his face was twisted, looking more ruthless even compared to a great devil. Pa, pa, pa, the sound of applaud suddenly resounded in the ears of Li Guang Han. ¡°Who?¡± Li Guang Han suddenly turned around. A tall figure slowly came out from the dark. His cultivation base appeared mediocre and his appearance was also mediocre, but the more he looked at his face, the more eye-catching it was. Moreover, he had a hint of an evil smile. ¡°Ye Chuan?¡± Li Guang Han was shocked, and his limbs became ice-cold. He immediately threw the corpse in his hand to one side and asked, ¡°You¡­¡­, how can you be here?¡± ¡°Your Highness, weren¡¯t you looking for me? So, I came.¡± Ye Chuan took a quick glance at the corpse of imperial guard Haizi and shook his head, ¡°Pitiful, too pitiful!¡± ¡°Since entering the imperial palace to become an imperial expert, dying for the imperial family is an honor, what is so pitiful?¡± Li Guang Han took a deep breath and coldly said while preparing his strongest attack. ¡°No, I am not having pity on this guard, I am having pity on you.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and looking at Li Guang Han, he paused for a bit and added, ¡°Grand Da Qin Crown Prince, young and promising, moreover, handsome and full of confidence, what a prestige, what a grand person! It¡¯s a pity, you have become like this now. No need to say that you are neither person nor ghost, your mentality has also begun to twist and become abnormal. Now, you are even inferior to an ordinary person, how can you ascend the throne and govern the country in the future? All said that Da Qin Dynasty is nearing its fated end. Da Qin King has qi deviation and his time is limited, and the crown prince has gone mad, it seems, that truly is not false!¡± ¡°Brat, isn¡¯t everything your deed? Kill!¡± Li Guang Han no longer listened to Ye Chuan. He suddenly kicked the desk flying and pulling out a sword, he rushed towards Ye Chuan. The heavy desk brushed past Ye Chuan and slammed into the wall behind him and fell to pieces. From the beginning to the end, Ye Chuan stood still without making any move until the sword in the hand of Li Guang Han was about to pierce through his chest. He slightly moved sideways and easily dodged the fierce attack of Li Guang Han. But, Li Guang Han gnashed his teeth and attacked again. Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t attack back, just used Cyan Feather Technique to dodge. He dodged the furious attacks of Li Guang Han in succession as if he was taking a leisurely walk in his quiet courtyard. As for Li Guang Han, he gnashed his teeth and roared repeatedly while attacking, but he was even unable to touch the edge of Ye Chuan¡¯s clothing. After breaking through to Rank 3 Daoist Master realm and condensing eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans, no need to mention the doughtiness of Ye Chuan¡¯s physical body, his speed and agility had also risen. Now, he displayed the might of Cyan Feather Technique to the fullest, progressing towards the state of his previous life when he concealed the heaven. In his previous life, his Heaven Concealing Secrets had made many Sage realm experts terror-stricken, but the might of Cyan Feather Technique was also widely known. A lot of experts whose cultivation base was above him were unable to keep up with him, as a result, they were unable to attack, and on the contrary, they died under his hands due to exhaustion. ¡°Guards, guards, kill this brat Ye Chuan for me¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han attacked ferociously while shouting loudly. But the outside was very quiet. There were no guards outside. No matter how Li Guang Han shouted, outside was dead silent. Chapter 370: Death plague Chapter 370: Death plague ¡°Guards, guards!¡± Li Guang Han panicked and his heart was tense. All this time, Li Guang Han had been gnashing his teeth dreaming about killing Ye Chuan, but when Ye Chuan stood before him, he panicked. And after he shouted a few times for his guards, he raised his head and asked help from Azure Dragon Sect. But, it was still dark and quiet outside. All imperial guards had disappeared and there was no trace of any expert of Azure Dragon Sect, seemingly, everyone had disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only him and Ye Chuan. Li Guang Han became pale and gritting his teeth, he ferociously attacked Ye Chuan, but his body couldn¡¯t help trembling. Even his reaction got slower, and he realized that something big had happened, and that was anything but reassuring. Either Ye Chuan brought many experts of Cloud Mist Sect and laid down a restriction to isolate this Azure Dragon Courtyard including the sound of activities inside, moreover, had killed all experts of imperial palace; or, something happened to Azure Dragon Sect. In addition, thinking about how Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei was slow to return, the heart of Li Guang Han became more and more restless. ¡°Your Highness, don¡¯t shout anymore, economize your strength as it is useless no matter how loudly you shout.¡± Ye Chuan dodged the attack of Li Guang Han and said indifferently, ¡°Tonight is the day of your death. Long Fei has already died, you should go together with him and have a good dream with him in the underworld.¡± Died? Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei actually died, how can this be? The heart of Li Guang Han shook and looked at Ye Chuan in disbelief. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t say anything, just clapped. Flame Devil walked out of the darkness and coldly stood behind Li Guang Han with three feet flame on his palm. Kakaka, along with a laughter, Old Demon of Mount Yin also walked out and stood outside the window, blocking the route of retreat of Li Guang Han. Moreover, countless vines sprang out from the ground completely surrounding this Azure Dragon Courtyard. And along with strong footsteps, Nan Tiandu also walked out from the darkness and stood at the door. He had a sharp blade in his hand. That blade was emitting cold killing intent. It was precisely Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. Li Guang Han was not unfamiliar with Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade. He had personally brought out this big killing weapon of Azure Dragon Sect from the imperial palace and handed it over to Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t need to say anything, just looking at this blade, Li Guang Han understood everything. Azure Dragon Sect Master who considered himself the best in the world and who could have broken through to Half-Sage realm at any time had truly died! ¡°Surnamed Ye, what do you want?¡± Li Guang Han was stern in both voice and countenance. He however stubbornly refused to admit defeat even though he was anxious in his heart. Now, he was in dire straits, but, he was still at least Da Qin Crown Prince, would Ye Chuan dare to do anything to him? Would he truly dare to kill him? ¡°Nothing much, originally, I wanted to take you back to Cloud Mist Sect, but¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan paused, seemingly, having misgivings in his heart. ¡°Hahaha, but what?¡± Li Guang Han became complacent, but he secretly sighed in relief. This brat Ye Chuan truly didn¡¯t dare to kill him. No matter how arrogant Ye Chuan was, he was still a disciple of a third-rate sect, but what about him? He however was dignified Da Qin Crown Prince, who dare to touch him? ¡°Later, I thought for a bit. My Cloud Mist Sect is very weak and is merely a small sect with limited resources. My sect is unable to support many idlers, so¡­¡­, I decided to kill you.¡± Ye Chuan said and coldly looking at Li Guang Han, he made a beheading gesture. Immediately after that, Nan Tiandu who was standing at the doorway rushed over and raised the sharp Azure Dragon Crescent Moon Blade, then chopped down. ¡°No¡­¡­, you cannot kill me, no¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han screamed and instantly moved sideways. This blade of Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t cut off his neck, just ruthlessly cut his chest. Li Guang Han was sent flying and he slammed against the wall behind him and fell to the ground. Only after struggling for a while, he was able to stand up, but his chest was bleeding like a pig. ¡°Your Highness, stretch your neck and accept death. In any case, staying alive, you will only have to endure hardships since you are neither human nor ghost. You will reincarnate early if you die early. Remember, don¡¯t be arrogant like this in your next life, some people are destined to be someone you cannot afford to offend. Even if you born into the imperial family, you still cannot afford to offend them.¡± Ye Chuan walked over and said coldly. Li Guang Han looked all around. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Nan Tiandu and others were surrounding him. Now, even if he fought a bloody battle, he would not be able to escape alive from this encirclement. ¡°Ye¡­¡­, Ye Chuan¡­¡­, you¡­¡­, you are very ruthless, my father emperor will not¡­¡­, let you off. State Teacher¡­¡­, will avenge me! You¡­¡­, you just wait, I will see how long¡­¡­, how long you will remain alive, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Li Guang Han roared with laughter in despair. He clearly knew that it was useless to ask for mercy, so he just stared ferociously at Ye Chuan. And just after he finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Ye Chuan, then ferociously stabbed towards the chest of Ye Chuan. Even if he dies, he wanted to drag Ye Chuan down to die together with him, so he attempted to perish together with Ye Chuan. ¡°Overestimating your abilities!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and stood still, completely ignoring crazy Li Guang Han. A cold blade light suddenly streaked across the night sky. Nan Tiandu made a move with his blade. This time, he cut off the head of Li Guang Han. This reprehensible Da Qin Crown Prince who had destroyed unknown numbers of respectable women throughout his life died just like this. His laughter was still reverberating in the air and even his lips were moving, but his head was already separated from his body. And a hint of his blood splashed on Ye Chuan. At that time, a supple and graceful figure rushed out from the darkness. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu along with Azure Snake Daoist Master and living corpse Old Han rushed over here. And seeing the corpse of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, they were shocked, ¡°Noble son Ye, you¡­¡­, did you just kill His Highness?¡± Although she already knew that Li Guang Han and Ye Chuan had deep grudges and Ye Chuan will not let him off, suddenly seeing the corpse of Li Guang Han, Azure Dragon Lady still couldn¡¯t help but was greatly surprised. The dignified Da Qin Crown Prince was killed just like this. If this news was to spread then didn¡¯t Ye Chuan fear the wrath of Da Qin King? Didn¡¯t he fear Da Qin King dispatching millions of soldiers to annihilate Cloud Mist Sect? ¡°Yes, I killed him. He didn¡¯t want me alive and have made things difficult for me several times, so not killing him, do you want me to leave him alone and let him continue to do wicked deeds?¡± Ye Chuan knew what Azure Dragon Lady was worried about. He paused for a bit and indifferently said, ¡°Rest assured, the experts beside Li Guang Han will never say anything. Moreover, this fellow had disguised himself to come to Azure Dragon Sect, so not many people know his whereabouts. Even if he dies, no one will know how he died and where he died. Taking a step back, even if Da Qin King knew that he died in my hands, I am afraid that he can do nothing about it for the time being. Because of the noble alliance, chaos is around the corner, which especially is causing a headache for Da Qin King. At this moment, he can do nothing about my Cloud Mist Sect, and later, he will even more be unable to do nothing.¡± Ye Chuan always planned everything ahead before he handled affairs. Killing Li Guang Han wasn¡¯t the momentary impulse, rather the decision after planning ahead. Li Guang Han had already fallen into disfavor, and now, Da Qin King was unable to even fend for himself, so at this moment, he will absolutely not make a move against Cloud Mist Sect. Afterward, even if Da Qin King completely suppressed the internal strife and frightened all nobles, at that time, the situation of Cloud Mist Sect would have already change. It would be even hard for him to make a move. Condensing one Heaven Swallowing Talisman gave him 18,000 jin strength, in addition, he could tame different yao beasts to form yao beast legion. Ye Chuan had full confidence in his cultivation. ¡°Report¡­¡­, Lady, bad news!¡± One scout suddenly flew over stepping on a flying sword and his complexion was pale, ¡°Outside Azure Dragon City, a terrifying death plague suddenly emerged. All three thousand soldiers outside the city suddenly died!¡± ¡°What?¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu cried out in alarm. At the same time, her complexion and Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion changed, quickly recalling a terrifying evil spirit, Plague Archfiend! Chapter 371: Eight towns Chapter 371: Eight towns Many disciples of Azure Dragon Sect quickly went out to investigate the situation, and very quickly, reports piled up in front of Azure Dragon Lady. The situation was even more serious than expected. In just a few hours, a large number of soldiers and civilians were killed outside Azure Dragon City. All of them were infected by a nameless plague and died of heart and lungs failure in a short time. Encountering Plagued Archfiend, average people who didn¡¯t cultivate met their doom, even Daoist Master realm experts were unable to endure. Approaching even a little closer, they would be easily infected by that terrifying plague. Even after dawn, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was still sitting behind the desk and was personally browsing through intelligence report, presiding over the overall situation to deal with this challenge. According to the reports of scouts, at least 50,000 people were killed inside Azure Dragon Prefecture in the space of a night. Some small towns became ghost towns overnight, and people stopped breathing during the sleep. The wanton massacre of Plague Archfiend brought along a deep pressure and challenge to Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu who had just rose to power. However, at this time, Azure Dragon Lady displayed her mature and superb skills. Taking advantage of this crisis, she calmly eradicated the underlings and supports of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. Many fellows who considered themselves the best in the world in former days were sent out to gather intelligence or hunt down Plague Archfiend, then disappeared from the world. Some died in the hands of Plague Archfiend and some fell into the ambush of Azure Snake Daoist Master, living corpse Old Han and others. As for Ye Chuan, he was sitting at one corner of the study, slowly sipping a tea while watching the means of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu. The latter wielded her power capriciously, she pretended to be a weak woman and calmly eradicated dissidents, and then grasp the real power step by step. This inwardly surprised him. Zhu Sijia was also good at organizing and controlling the overall situation, and she could handle affairs in a clear-cut manner, but compared to Azure Dragon Lady, she was still a lot more inexperienced. She was not sly and persevering like the latter. If any other woman was in her place, then after suffering such humiliation of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei for ten years, she might have also become sly and preserving like current Azure Dragon Lady. Without being sly and preserving, she wouldn¡¯t have survived until now, waiting for such a magnificent moment of now! Looking at dignified and serene Azure Dragon Lady who was busy bustling about from the side for a while, Ye Chuan felt relieved in his heart. Sensing the gaze of Ye Chuan, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu looked up and putting down the document in her hands, she walked over. Then, she personally poured a cup of tea and softly said, ¡°Noble son Ye, I greatly troubled you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing troublesome, I have just been drinking tea, I have done nothing at all, so there is no trouble. On the contrary, Lady, don¡¯t exhaust yourself.¡± Ye Chuan looked at Azure Dragon Lady who had not slept for the entire night, thus, the latter clearly look haggard, appearing very weak. But, who could think that such a weak woman had the skill to produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another. ¡°What did nothing?¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu looked at Ye Chuan and her complexion became slightly red. Clearly, she had twisted the meaning of Ye Chuan. And she softly added, ¡°Noble son Ye, I am very sorry, originally I promised to properly entertain you, but¡­¡­¡± ¡°No hurry, no hurry, the future is long, we have plenty of time. Eh, Lady, I say¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan suddenly noticed that the more he spoke the worse it was, thus, he stopped speaking. Azure Dragon Lady chucked and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, I have a good news and a bad news here. Which one do you want to hear first?¡± ¡°Good news, I like to listen to the good news, it would be best if there was no bad news.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°With the help of Old Han and others, all the underlings of Long Fei are almost completely eradicated. Azure Dragon Sect has basically fallen into my hands and the circumstance is stable. The progress is smoother than expected. In addition, taking advantage of the death plague outside the city, I used a small trick with the corpse of Li Guang Han. And now, other than Azure Snake Daoist Master and Old Han, no one else knows noble son¡¯s whereabouts, even the people with discerning eyes would find it hard to calculate that you are behind his death.¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was very meticulous, in the space of a night, she had arranged many matters. She paused for a bit and added, ¡°Now that Azure Dragon Sect has returned to my Murong Clan again, we can develop with a peace of mind, moreover, we can coordinate with noble son¡¯s Cloud Mist Sect from afar and help each other. Hereafter, if noble son needs anything, feel free to ask. Although Azure Dragon Sect has nothing much, there are numerous merchants in Azure Dragon Prefecture. Perhaps, we can provide some daily essentials to noble son, in addition, we can develop cooperation in resources, trade, intelligence and so on aspects.¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu had a clear vision. In this power struggle, she had demonstrated extraordinary means to quickly eradicate dissidents. Her means was shrewd and ruthless. But, she was sincere towards Ye Chuan, like love for a person extends even to the crows on their roof, she was willing to develop cooperation with Cloud Mist Sect. Originally, with the power of Azure Dragon Sect, it would have disdained to cooperate with Cloud Mist Sect, this third-rate sect which was on the decline since long ago. ¡°Fine, thank you, Lady. Hereafter, for this kind of matters, look for my junior apprentice sister Zhu Sijia. There are also very many specialties in Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and Cloud Mist Sect has always been good at refining various kinds of pills, I believe we can also help Azure Dragon Sect in many aspects.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. Of course, he didn¡¯t reject the cooperation with Azure Dragon Sect. And added, ¡°Lady, then what about the bad news? Does it has to do something with Plague Archfiend?¡± ¡°Yes, it is related to Plague Archfiend. The current situation is anything but reassuring. It is far more serious than we have expected. Take a look at this.¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu turned around and spread out a map in front of Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, look, this place is Azure Dragon City. And here are the most flourishing Azure Hill Town, Azure Tree Town, Azure Water Town and so on eight towns in the vicinity with at least the population of one million. But, in the space of a night, Plague Archfiend had caused so many casualties, once he reaches these eight towns and spread his death plague in these densely populated areas, then that would be troublesome. And unlike ordinary sects, Azure Dragon Sect stretch over both secular world and cultivation world. The population of the secular world is the foundation of Azure Dragon Sect. If we let Plague Archfiend indulge in a wanton massacre like this, then the foundation of Azure Dragon Sect would suffer a serious damage. According to the report of a scout, very unfortunately, Plague Archfiend is moving towards those eight towns. And after massacring these eight towns, if he continues to head towards the south, then he will reach noble son¡¯s Cloud Mist Mountain Range.¡± Azure Dragon Lady picked up a pen and drew a large arrow on the map. From Azure Dragon City, that arrow crossed eight towns, pointing straight to Cloud Mist Mountain Range where Cloud Mist Sect was located. Ye Chuan carefully looked for a while and his complexion changed. Now, Plague Archfiend was not only the number one enemy of Azure Dragon Sect, but he also vaguely threaten Cloud Mist Sect that was several thousand li away. For an average person, 8,000 li was very far away, but Plague Archfiend could cross that distance within a night. Moreover, at this moment, Flame Devil, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu, all great experts of Cloud Mist Sect were assembled here in Azure Dragon City. Once Plague Archfiend kill all the way to Cloud Mist Sect, Zhu Sijia alone would not be able to stop him. Even if these three experts were present there in Cloud Mist Sect, he feared they might not be able to stop him! ¡°Lady, then what is your plan?¡± Ye Chuan solemnly asked. ¡°Azure Hill Town, Azure Tree Town, Azure Water Town and so on eight towns are the foundation of Azure Dragon Sect ever since the ancient times. According to the legend, the founder of my Azure Dragon Sect has left behind an ancient restriction, Eight Azure Dragons Battle Formation. The might of this restriction is very powerful, absolutely can kill this Plague Archfiend, or at least seal again. Merely, the cost of activating this restriction is somewhat big. We need to sacrifice 800,000 highest grade crystal stones, 180,000 people in prime and 800 Xiushi realm elite disciples.¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu said. Her voice was somewhat dejected. Although Azure Dragon Sect was big, this price was still somewhat difficult to bear. ¡°I can provide a portion of crystal stones.¡± Ye Chuan said and his voice was similarly dejected. He could think of a way to provide crystal stones, but 180,000 people in prime and 800 Xiushi realm disciples, he couldn¡¯t do anything about it. If he sacrificed 800 elite disciples, then he feared that the inheritance of Cloud Mist Sect would be broken. ¡°Okay, noble son Ye, I have already sent some people to go out of the town to stop Plague Archfiend to the greatest extent and attract him to Eight Azure Dragons Battle Formation. Tonight, we will make a move. I don¡¯t know if I will still be alive after tonight, so, noble son Ye, let me serve you once more.¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu sipped a mouthful of tea, then pushing Ye Chuan down on the big chair, she gently took off his clothing while kissing his chest. This small study slowly heated up like a torch. Chapter 372: Eight Azure Dragons Formation Chapter 372: Eight Azure Dragons Formation After the madness, both Ye Chuan and Azure Dragon Lady got busy bustling about. Ye Chuan sent the message so that Zhu Sijia would make preparations in advance to activate the restriction of the sect, moreover, send someone to deliver crystal stones. After that, along with Flame Devil, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu, he rushed over to the capital of those eight towns of Azure Dragon Prefecture via the transfer formation, i.e. Azure Tree Town. There, he looked for a quiet place to rest and store up their energy while waiting for the upcoming battle. Azure Dragon Lady was a lot busier. She had many troublesome matters she needed to deal with. Only after the sun set behind the western hills, she rushed over to Azure Tree Town along with many elites of Azure Dragon Sect and met with Ye Chuan. Then, taking advantage of the time when the sun had not completely sunk down the hill, she accompanied Ye Chuan to climb up the highest Azure Tree House of Azure Tree Town and looked far away. Azure Dragon House had altogether nine floors. It stood tall and erect. One brick and one tile along with small railing were the characteristics of Azure Dragon Prefecture, and vivid azure dragon statues could be seen everywhere. Originally, this place was a prosperous restaurant with the inheritance of several hundred years. But, on the eve of a big battle with eight towns as the battlefield, every household has tightly closed their doors and windows. This place was deserted. Ye Chuan and Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu climbed to the peak of Azure Tree House and looked far from the high position. The entire Azure Tree Town was divided into three horizontal and three vertical main streets. Although the population was very big, this town was in good order. It was called a town but its scale was much larger than many cities. Standing at the top of Azure Tree House, one could vaguely see towers of other towns in the distance. These eight towns were linked together forming a big circle. Carefully looking down from the high altitude, one could discover that each town was vaguely shaped like a huge dragon. The streets and lanes inside the towns were the lines between the scales of this dragon, and houses and buildings with different heights were its scales. Moreover, in the air, an indistinct aura was rippling, and there was an ancient atmosphere everywhere. ¡°Eight Azure Dragons Formation, one ancient city is one ancient azure dragon¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu muttered to herself, and watching groups after groups of soldiers and the disciples of Azure Dragon Sect moving back and forth inside this city, she was in high-spirit, and she felt like she controlled the world. Azure Dragon Sect couldn¡¯t compare to Heavenly Yao Sect, this kind of overlord of cultivating sects, but it was also a huge sect in the cultivating world. Its power was huge and powerful in southern border with more than 10,000 inner sect disciples alone. As for outer sect disciples and experts who had gone out to temper themselves, there were even more of them. To a certain extent, Azure Dragon Sect was not only a cultivating sect in the heart of the people of Azure Dragon Prefecture, but it was also a kind of belief. Sect Master who controls Azure Dragon Sect was aloof and noble God in their eyes. Long Fei had already died, now it was the turn of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu to wield power and be head and shoulders above the others. Without the title of Sect Master, she held the real power. With one order, she could start the killing machines of Azure Dragon Sect. Now, it was only a matter of time for her to become the first female Sect Master of Azure Dragon Sect. Feeling the power of controlling millions of lives in her hands, Azure Dragon Lady who had suffered humiliation for ten years felt proud and elated. ¡°Lady, are you ready?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Everything is ready, we just need to wait for the fish to be hooked up.¡± Azure Dragon Lady nodded her head and standing beside Ye Chuan, she gently leaned on the latter. In front of the sect disciples, she was aloof and noble Lady, was the person who wielded the power of Azure Dragon Sect and was decisive. But, in front of Ye Chuan, she was no different from an ordinary woman. Ten years of humiliation was exchanged for today¡¯s proud and elated feelings and a sweetheart, this made her cherish everything before her eyes. ¡°How sure are you?¡± Ye Chuan asked again. Plague Archfiend was too fierce. He was a peak expert who was on par with State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng and White Haired Heavenly Empress. After luring him to an ambush, if the said ambush failed, then that would be outsmarting themselves. ¡°70%, Eight Azure Dragon Formation has not been activated for at least thousand years. I know about this because when I was young, my father taught me the method to activate this formation. As for whether it can trap Plague Archfiend or not, no one has absolute certainty, we can only try. If this Eight Azure Dragons Formation truly failed to trap or kill Plague Archfiend, then we can do nothing about it.¡± Azure Dragon Lady replied and then gently added after a pause, ¡°Noble son Ye, if I die, will you be sad?¡± ¡°I will be until I meet another woman who is considerate and thoughtful like you.¡± Ye Chuan said with a bad smile and hugged the waist of Azure Dragon Lady. ¡°You are a bad fellow without conscience!¡± The face of Azure Dragon Lady became red and hastily struggled free from Ye Chuan, fearing other people will see this. It was fine to slightly lean together because the disciples will not be able to see clearly from far away, but hugging together in public was different. Until she truly became the Sect Master and control everything, she couldn¡¯t make her relation with Ye Chuan public, but Azure Dragon Lady didn¡¯t intend to make it public. It was enough for her to just have such a relationship with Ye Chuan, she didn¡¯t dare to have extravagant hopes. ¡°Lady, if I die, then you better be very sad. Don¡¯t go looking for another man the next day, otherwise, I will be sad in the netherworld.¡± Ye Chuan extended his hand and gently caressed her long hair. ¡°Ye Chuan, you¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Lady rolled her eyes, and she wanted to say something but eventually decided not to speak but her eyes became red. If Ye Chuan died here, even if she sealed Plague Archfiend and ascend to the throne of Azure Dragon Sect, she wouldn¡¯t be happy and she would spend her remaining years in melancholy. ¡°Rest assured, Lady, as long as I don¡¯t want to die, no one in the world can kill me.¡± Ye Chuan said and suddenly looking towards the distance, he added, ¡°Came, the fish is hooked up.¡± An ear deafening roar suddenly came from far away. In the distance, smoke and dust were surging. And over a hundred experts of Azure Dragon Sect were flying, stepping on their flying sword. They were sparing no effort to rush into Azure Tree Town. Behind them, a huge Three Eyed Toad rushed out from the surging smoke and dust, and swallowed an expert of Azure Dragon Sect who fell behind the group. Even using a flying sword, they were having a hard time to escape death, even their cultivation base of Daoist Master realm was of no use. After he was swallowed, like a stone dropped into the sea, there was no movement nor sound. Came so quickly? Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu got nervous. This Plague Archfiend came much faster than expected. So, she was forced to activate the restriction in advance. Several indistinct dragon roars came from the void. The ground suddenly shook and clouds of dust flew up as if a dragon rolled on the ground. A hint of azure light emerged from under the ground of streets and lanes and cracks of the bricks on the walls. They gathered together to form a dazzling beam that shot straight toward the sky, illuminating the night sky. In the distance, from the direction of Azure Water Town, similar azure light beam soared towards the sky, then from Azure Wind Town, Azure Ridge Town¡­¡­¡­ All eight ancient towns outside Azure Dragon City shot out dazzling light beams. The eight light beams soared to the sky and violently collided with each other under the watchful eyes of people, then they spread out and the ground suddenly shook even more violently. The ground of eight towns cracked and housing collapsed at the same time, revealing eight huge dragon heads. And those low and deep powerful dragon roars resounded beside the ears of people. The dragon raised its head! Azure Dragon Restriction laid out the founder of Azure Dragon Sect quickly appeared in front of the eyes of people. The surrounding of thousand li was covered with an azure light curtain. And Plague Archfiend who was laughing heartily after swallowing an expert of Azure Dragon Sect suddenly stopped and a hint of deep misgivings as well as fear flashed through its three eyes. Chapter 373: Fierce devil Chapter 373: Fierce devil ¡°Damn, it¡¯s another Eight Azure Dragons Formation!¡± Plague Archfiend in Three Eyed Toad form cursed furiously, then, turned to leave. He ran wildly trying to escape before this Azure Dragon Restriction was thoroughly activated. That year, when he had just arrived at Heavenly Fire Continent from the world beyond the highest heaven using his Time and Space Demonic Wheel, he had fallen into Eight Azure Dragons Formation set up by the founder of Azure Dragon Sect, then was sealed and suppressed. Now, he had finally freed himself with great difficulty, but his heart trembled, seeing this restriction, so why would he dare to stay here? Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was dumbfounded. Ye Chuan was also a little surprised. They two had considered all kinds of circumstances and had made preparations accordingly, but they had never expected that this Plague Archfiend whose second nature was massacre would actually flee without a fight. This was not a yao beast, clearly was a sly evil spirit that was more crafty than a thousand-year-old fox! Azure Dragon Lady quickly ordered, mobilizing the experts to intercept him. The ground was shaking more and more violently and eight azure dragons slowly broke out of the ground and took off. This Eight Azure Dragons Formation will soon be completely activated. At this time, regardless of anything, they couldn¡¯t let Plague Archfiend escape, otherwise, all their efforts will be wasted, in addition, they would invite frenzied retaliation of this Plague Archfiend. Moreover, it would be very difficult to lure him into a trap again. A group of cavalry riding sturdy war-horse rushed forward. They were going full speed ahead towards Plague Archfiend with great momentum. When they were just 15 meters away, these well-trained soldiers stuck out their five meters long spears in succession. Under the ice-cold helmet, soldiers were breathing heavily and their heart accelerated in nervousness until the moment they collided with Plague Archfiend. Instantly, at least 20 spears stabbed the body of Plague Archfiend. But, the heavy spears began to bent, then, when they bent to 90 degrees, all of them broke into pieces. As for Plague Archfiend, he wasn¡¯t even slowed down. He mowed down through this group. Immediately, sad and shrill screams resounded along with the neighs of horses. On the battlefield, heavy armored cavalry had always been a sharp weapon of nobles, was the trump card to fight a decisive battle, and was the nightmare of infantries. But, in front of this Half-Sage realm evil spirit, they were unable to withstand a single blow. They were mercilessly crushed in an instant! Roar! Along with angry roars, Plague Archfiend made a bloody path in the midst of this cavalry, continuing to flee quickly. An ear defeating dragon roar resounded. Eight huge azure dragons rose higher. Now, half of their body had already come out from the ground. The killing intent of Plague Archfiend was soaring and his speed was getting faster too. A group of Azure Dragon Sect disciples daringly rushed forward, stepping on their flying swords. They had either heavy hammers, long spears or sharp swords in their hands. In Azure Tree Town, now, there were over 50,000 elites, but after witnessing that bad end of that cavalry group, soldiers who had fought a hundred battles without any fear were trembling. This was instinctual fear that came from the depth of their soul. Even when military officers shouted the words of encouragement, it was of no avail. It was simply not the level of contest, moreover, the number of people was useless. At the critical moment, Azure Dragon Sect disciples were truly fierce. There were over hundred disciples of Azure Dragon Sect. Their cultivation base was at least Rank 5 Xiushi realm. Among them, there was no lack of Daoist Master realm experts. With these over hundred people rushing forward while displaying their techniques, no need to mention just obstructing Plague Archfiend, they should at least be able to stop the latter for a while without any problem. Everyone thought so including Ye Chuan, but soon, they discovered that they were wrong, wrong to the point of being crazy. Plague Archfiend didn¡¯t slow down at all, he just roared angrily when his leg touched the ground, and then suddenly, the surrounding within 100 meters became bright red. The ground was not dyed with a layer of red color, rather, everything around had instantly changed into bright red boiling hot magma. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Mournful wails resounded throughout Azure Tree Town. Almost all disciples who had daringly rushed forward fell into the magma and had no way to free themselves, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a pool of blood and disappeared without a trace. Not to mention their flesh, even their treasures such as armors, weapons and so on had melted away. A few experts were able to dodge the magma, but in the next moment, they similarly died. The magma on the ground was not only boiling hot and could also melt anything, but even more terrifying matter was, the area within 100 meters in radius moved along with the pace of Plague Archfiend. Looking from far away, this scene looked just a volcano crater that could move quickly. Under the circumstance when caught unprepared, even later stage Daoist Master realm experts would find it hard to escape it. A low and deep powerful dragon roar resounded across the heavens. More than half of their dragon bodies was already out of the ground and the ground was shaking even more violently. Moreover, it seemed that they had flown into rage sensing Plague Archfiend. The azure light screen that covered the ground became denser and it looked just like huge azure cauldron covering the ground. Plague Archfiend didn¡¯t even turn his head and continued to accelerate. With regarding the might of Eight Azure Dragons Formation, he knew more than Azure Dragon Lady, so he didn¡¯t dare to pause for even a moment. The soldiers and civilians hiding in corners, fortresses and houses were trembling at this moment. They were continuously praying for the blessing of Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s founder. No one had ever seen such a fierce evil spirit. The scene of him crushing over a hundred disciples of Azure Dragon Sect and the heavy cavalry was deeply engraved in the minds of everyone. This intensified their trembling. Another group of Azure Dragon Sect disciples rushed forward. This time, the group was led by Azure Snake Daoist Master and living corpse Old Han. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu gritted her teeth and prepared to risk everything. Although she had yet to enter the battlefield in person and was bringing up the rear, she had dispatched all her remaining trusted subordinates and elites. If Azure Snake Daoist Master, Old Han and others died in this battle, then her direct power would be greatly diminished leaving practically nothing behind. After that, it will be difficult to say whether she could control Azure Dragon Sect or not. Plague Archfiend roared loudly, and magma reappeared under his feet. Among the disciples who were rushing in the front, half of them collapsed but even more disciples flew higher in their flying swords. They didn¡¯t dare to approach Plague Archfiend and began to initiate ferocious attacks from distance surrounding this Plague Archfiend. In an instant, flying swords, arrows and even heavy hammers or large pieces of rocks thrown by disciples flew towards Plague Archfiend. Plague Archfiend roared and ignoring all the attacks, he attacked Azure Snake Daoist Master and living corpse Old Han, continuing to run wildly. Eight Azure Dragons Formation was about to be completely activated. Once those eight azure dragons completely broke out of the ground and merged, at that time, Eight Azure Dragons Formation was at the most powerful state. Plague Archfiend who had already tasted its might absolutely didn¡¯t want to taste it again. He was sealed and suppressed for many years, and finally, he was free after great difficulty. He absolutely didn¡¯t want to be sealed and suppressed again! Sharp flying swords left behind some scars on Plague Archfiend, but completely ignored the attacks of Azure Snake Daoist Master, Old Han and others. Unfortunately, their attacks were useless. The speed of Plague Archfiend not only didn¡¯t decrease, instead he accelerated, and even flying swords were unable to catch up to him. In the blink of an eye, Azure Snake Daoist Master, Old Han and others were left behind and could no longer catch up to him. They could only helplessly watch Plague Archfiend getting far away. Chapter 374: Hidden moves are always hard to guard against Chapter 374: Hidden moves are always hard to guard against A tall youth and a small dragon suddenly appeared in the line of sight of people, blocking the path of Plague Archfiend. Ye Chuan who had been watching critically finally made a move. Riding on the back of Little Long¡¯er, he quietly watched Plague Archfiend rushing towards him. For Azure Dragon Lady and also for his and Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s sake, today, he must stop this Plague Archfiend and re-seal him. He must not let him run everywhere. ¡°Sc¡­ram¡­¡­¡± Plague Archfiend roared angrily and ferociously rushed forward. But a human and a dragon were still as if they were petrified. The heart of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu who was standing at the top of Azure Tree House skipped a beat and she became pale. But, just when she was about to rush over, her sleeve was grabbed by living corpse Old Han. ¡°Lady, don¡¯t be hasty, since noble son Ye dares to stand out by himself to stop this Plague Archfiend, he must have his means.¡± The living corpse Old Han stopped Azure Dragon Lady. In a battle of a long time ago, after he suffered heavy injuries, he didn¡¯t have body temperature and heartbeat. Although he survived tenaciously, he became a living corpse. He lost his sense of pain and many feelings, but, in his heart, he could still understand everything. He had observed every aspect of Azure Dragon Lady. He had watched Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu growing into an adult from a child. Thus, even if Azure Dragon Lady ignored other people¡¯s words, she would still consider his words. The speed of Plague Archfiend was astonishing. When he suddenly rushed forward, ear deafening void breaking sounds would resound. When everyone was nervously screaming in their heart, Ye Chuan finally moved. Little Long¡¯er below him sidestepped in an unimaginable way, dodging the ram of Plague Archfiend. And at the same time, a blood red flying sword shot out from the mouth of Ye Chuan, which ruthlessly stabbed towards the left leg of Plague Archfiend. Ye Chuan was already prepared. He suddenly used Dragon Slaying Flying Sword given to him by Seventh Elder. And now that they were very close at hand, even Plague Archfiend who had heaven-defying cultivation base was unable to dodge. Compared to ordinary flying swords, this flying sword was far more powerful. Plague Archfiend had crushed everything along the way, and he was unscathed under the attacks of everyone, so he was a little careless. This, in turn, caused him to eat a hidden loss. His left leg softened and he staggered nearly falling to the ground. Roar! An ear deafening roar resounded. Plague Archfiend was angry, and bright red magma suddenly appeared below his legs. Unfortunately, this move was useless against Ye Chuan. Riding on the back of Little Long¡¯er, Ye Chuan could hover in the air, and the boiling hot magma on the ground couldn¡¯t hurt even his hair. ¡°Brat, it turned out to be you!¡± Plague Archfiend turned around, and at this time, he finally recognized Ye Chuan. In Demonic Cave, they had seen each other. Plague Archfiend had personally witnessed how Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei who considered himself best in the world reached a dead end, thus, he knew the strength of Ye Chuan. Just a moment ago, he didn¡¯t see him clearly and was slightly careless, as a result, he ate a loss. Now that he recognized Ye Chuan, he gritted his teeth and ran off at once. It was not that he was afraid of Ye Chuan, but at this moment, time was pressing and he didn¡¯t want to waste time in fighting. If he didn¡¯t break out of this encirclement, then he would be in trouble when the eight azure dragons merge in the sky! Plague Archfiend make a prompt decision and gave up his thoughts to attack Ye Chuan, continuing to flee for his life. Unfortunately, with his left leg injured, his speed was much slower, moreover, he didn¡¯t want to fight didn¡¯t mean Ye Chuan would stop just like this. Plague Archfiend was able to shake off the purse of Azure Snake Daoist Master and Old Han, but it was not easy to shake off Little Long¡¯er whose speed was pretty good. At this moment, the superiority of Demonic Dragon Clan in speed was quickly revealed, they catch up to Plague Archfiend and a red light again streak across the sky. Roar! Plague Archfiend suddenly opened his mouth without reducing his speed. In addition, he didn¡¯t dodge, rather directly swallowed Dragon Slaying Flying Swords. Azure Dragon Lady and others who were watching this from far away were shocked. Directly swallowing the flying sword of the opponent, what kind of terrifying evil spirit was this? A few very daring experts of Azure Dragon Sect who were prepared to rush forward and attack from the flank taking advantage of this occasion, seeing this scene, their scalp tingled and they trembled. They felt their legs had gone soft and no one dared to take even a step forward. ¡°You dared to swallow this lordship¡¯s Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, this isn¡¯t courageous and boldness, rather plain stupid!¡± Ye Chuan sneered and used a sword technique. Plague Archfiend whose cultivation base was heaven-defying suddenly stopped and then wailed mournfully. After that, he hastily vomited out Dragon Slaying Flying Sword he had just swallowed along with a big mouthful of black blood. What was Dragon Slaying Flying Sword? This was a big killing weapon nurtured by the vitality of cyan robed Seventh Elder for a lifetime. It was so sharp that even Evil Dragon Meng Ao was unable to block it. Although Plague Archfiend was doughty and more powerful than Evil Dragon Meng Ao, but he still couldn¡¯t stop it. Even his strong and powerful left leg was dripping with blood because of this Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, but he swallowed it, that was absolutely asking for trouble. In an instant, the entire tongue was cut off by Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. No need to speak about the sharpness of this Flying Sword, what was even more unexpected was the sword blade was smeared with a hypertoxic that was personally refined by Ye Chuan. Courageous and bold Plague Archfiend was infected by this hypertoxic due to carelessness. The cultivation of Ye Chuan was clearly far worse than Plague Archfiend. Fighting head-on, Ye Chuan might not even be able to withstand one move of Plague Archfiend. But at this moment, Plague Archfiend was anxious to break out of this encirclement and run for his life, as a result, the latter ate two big losses from little tricks of Ye Chuan. And these injuries also couldn¡¯t be considered serious, but it as annoying. ¡°Roar¡­¡­, brat, I¡­¡­, I will kill you¡­¡­¡± Plague Archfiend was so angry that in the blink of an eye, he rushed towards Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er. But, just like flies, it was hard to catch them, even after chasing for a while, he was only vexed. Plague Archfiend who originally just wanted to break out of this encirclement rushed towards Ye Chuan in a rage with dense killing intent. With his tongue injured, his words were somewhat incoherent, and he was getting angrier and angrier in his heart while attacking with all his strength. Little Long¡¯er accelerated suddenly, dodging the attack of Plague Archfiend, then suddenly moved round to the back of Plague Archfiend. If he turned around to attack, then he would certainly waste his time, but not only his heart didn¡¯t let him continue to run away just like this, this one human and one dragon would also chase after him. Ye Chuan who was definitely playing for time gave Plague Archfiend a hard nut to crack. Watching this battle, the eyes of Azure Dragon Lady at the top of Azure tree House shone and simultaneously break out in cold sweat for Ye Chuan. But, she was also amazed by shrewdness and skills of Ye Chuan. Now, she was all the more certain that she had not misjudged him. Seeing that someone had finally stopped Plague Archfiend, soldiers and Azure Dragon Sect disciples cheered loudly and their morale soared. In the air, the dragon roars of the ancient dragons became more resonant, thoroughly breaking out of the ground and soaring towards the sky to merge. Now, above the azure light screen, ancient runes glimmered, and like a noiseless lightning streaking across the sky, a heavy pressure befell on everyone. Along with Plague Archfiend, everyone felt their body was getting heavy, and dust fluttered in the air. Eight Azure Dragons Formation! The restriction left behind by the founder of Azure Dragon Sect was completely activated, and the light screen circulated, beginning to prepare a deadly attack. Because Ye Chuan stalled for time, Plague Archfiend lost his chance to break out of this encirclement. Looking up and seeing light curtain and eight ancient azure dragons that were about to merge, Plague Archfiend hopelessly roared. He also knew that he had lost the chance to break out of this encirclement. He suddenly turned around and ferociously glared at Ye Chuan riding on Little Long¡¯er. His three eyes were blood red as he gnashed his teeth. In addition, incomparably powerful energy fluctuation erupted out from his body. He appeared as if he wanted to kill Ye Chuan before the restriction showed its might! Chapter 375: Joint attack of eight dragons Chapter 375: Joint attack of eight dragons ¡°Your Excellency, watch out!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes and Flame Demon rushed out from the dark and rushed towards Ye Chuan. Nan Tiandu directly transformed into one thousand meter dragon and soared towards the sky, then swooped down straight towards Plague Archfiend. Ye Chuan had skillfully delayed Plague Archfiend when the latter was in a haste to break out of this encirclement, but he had also placed himself in a dangerous position. Under the anger of Plague Archfiend, he was bound to initiate a ferocious attack, so Nan Tiandu and others rushed ahead to save him regardless of their safety. Ye Chuan lied down and stuck on the back of Little Long¡¯er, then one man and one dragon turned around and fled. Roar! An ear deafening roar came from behind. Plague Archfiend was truly angry and attacked. He didn¡¯t rush over, rather bent over all of a sudden and with his stomach stuck on the ground, he opened his mouth and took a deep breath with all its strength. An invisible vortex suddenly appeared, and fleeing Little Long¡¯er and Ye Chuan were unable to advance forward, in addition, they were pulled behind by a deep breath of Plague Archfiend. Angry Plague Archfiend wanted to directly swallow Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er together with rubbles around them, like a whale swallowing seawater. Flame Devil and Old Demon of Mount Yin rushed over. Flame Devil emitted scorching hot flame on his palm and attacked Plague Archfiend, but like a stone dropped into the sea, there was no effect, on the contrary, the flame in the hand of Flame Devil was extinguished by this hurricane. As for Old Demon of Mount Yin, he stretched out his big hand and countless vines changed into a whip, then he used this whip to ruthlessly attack. On the back of Plague Archfiend, a long bloody mark appeared, but this fellow completely ignored Old Demon of Mount Yin and continued to inhale with determination, wanting to swallow Ye Chuan! At that time, the attack of Nan Tiandu arrived. He was ferociously ramming towards Plague Archfiend. His over one thousand meters long body looked just like a huge mountain descending from heaven. Plague Archfiend moved. He dared to take the attack of Flame Devil and Old Demon of Mount Yin head-on, but he obviously had some misgiving about this attack of Nan Tiandu. He roared and suddenly lifting up his head, he made a move, knocking his head against the head of Nan Tiandu. Dong! A muffled sound resounded, shocking the heart of people. Nan Tiandu who was diving down from the sky was unexpectedly sent flying. As for Plague Archfiend, only a section of his four limbs was sunk into the ground. In this sudden collision, Nan Tiandu with over a thousand meters body was sent flying and his head was dripping with blood. He had suffered a heavy injury. Half-Sage Archfiend! Plague Archfiend was majestic, and the strength of a Half-Sage realm expert was fully displayed here. But, the attack of Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t go to waste, Plague Archfiend lost his chance to swallow Ye Chuan. ¡°Go!¡± Ye Chuan shouted and retreated quickly riding Little Long¡¯er. Flame Devil, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu also retreated in succession. All of them went all out to retreat. ¡°Kid, leave your life!¡± Plague Archfiend roared loudly, and his four limbs on the ground bent, but just when he was about to chase, he suddenly shivered. Looking up, eight ancient azure dragons had finally gathered together in the sky, and along with countless runes appearing above the huge azure light screen, azure light rose sharply. Then, those eight dragons entwined together and swoop down from the high altitude along with a roar. In addition, an unparalleled energy fluctuation that should not exist in Wilderness World suddenly burst out. Ye Chuan quickly turned back and seeing the scene in the sky, his expression changed. Restriction of the world beyond the highest heaven! Ye Chuan was sure that this Eight Azure Dragons Formation was the restriction originated from the world beyond the highest heaven. As for how the founder of Azure Dragon Sect learned this move, it was unknown. But, what was beyond doubt was, this was definitely the means of the world beyond the highest heaven. In the time when he concealed the heaven, Ye Chuan was sure that there was no such restriction in Wilderness World. Such a fierce and violent energy fluctuation made soldiers and disciples of Azure Dragon Sect who were watching from far away feel danger. Everyone hastily retreated to hide. Azure Snake Daoist Master and living corpse Old Han also retreated hastily while protecting Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu. They didn¡¯t dare to remain at the roof of Azure Tree House. Roar! Plague Archfiend desperately roared, but even if he wanted to run away, he couldn¡¯t do so. This powerful energy had locked on to him. No matter where he was within Eight Azure Dragons Formation, he wouldn¡¯t be able to hide. Because of Ye Chuan dealing him, he lost his chance to slip out of this formation. Plague Archfiend ferociously glared at Ye Chuan, then used his four limbs to dig madly. It was impossible to dodge the deadly attack Eight Azure Dragon Formation, but Plague Archfiend had already experienced it once and from the experience, Plague Archfiend knew that going underground, he could minimize the power of this attack using the thick layer of soil. Clouds of dust flew up, and a dark shadow appeared on the ground. Along with a powerful dragon roar, this ancient azure dragon whistled down. And just after Plague Archfiend disappeared underground, it collided against the ground, then, disappeared. There was no movement on the ground, no ferocious collision as they had expected. The ground didn¡¯t even shake a bit. How could this be? People had their eyes wide open with shock including Ye Chuan and Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu. This ancient azure dragon had powerful momentum, and everyone had thought that this time that ferocious Plague Archfiend was screwed. Even if he didn¡¯t die, at least a layer of his skin would be peeled off and seal him again. The result, after coming into contact with the ground, it disappeared and there was no movement. After a very long period of time, did the power of this restriction diminished? Or was Plague Archfiend too powerful or went too deep underground, thus, the ancient azure dragon had no way out? Honglong, everyone swayed and fell to the ground. When everyone was disappointed thinking this restriction had lost efficacy, from the depth of the earth, a rumbling sound of an explosion came. The ground shook and cracked. And along with the appearance of a long and deep crack, everything within the vicinity of a few kilometers collapsed. Under the eyes of everyone, a huge crater appeared. After that, ancient azure dragon disappeared and cyan light curtain in the sky also slowly dispersed. Just one attack exhausted all the energy of Eight Azure Dragons Formation and the formation began to disperse. But, just looking at this crater, everyone turned pale with fright and their scalp tingled. It was not that the restriction had lost its efficacy, rather ancient azure dragon chased after Plague Archfiend to the depths of the underground. He was truly unable to escape! The course of Azure Tree River in the vicinity diverted because of the change in terrain. The clear river water poured into this huge crater that had appeared just a moment ago, and slowly, a pond appeared outside Azure Tree Town. No one knew how deep this pond was, but no one dared to dive into this pond. Even after waiting for a few hours, there was no movement in this pond, so people finally breathed a sigh of relief and began celebrating the passing of a calamity. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu personally went to the kitchen to cook food to entertain Ye Chuan, Nan Tiandu and others. Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei had died, Plague Archfiend also had died, now, no one could stop her from sitting on the throne of Sect Master. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu felt proud and elated being able to hold the power of Azure Dragon Sect. She repeatedly signaled Ye Chuan, preparing to properly entertain him tonight. But, just after the banquet had begun, the ground swayed suddenly and a burst of laughter came from outside Azure Tree Town. ¡°Hahaha, the joint attack of eight dragons is also just so-so, and that old man Azure Dragon Daoist is also gone, now, who can trap this Lord Archfiend? Hahaha¡­¡­¡± This unscrupulous laughter reverberated through the night sky. Ye Chuan, Azure Dragon Lady and others rushed out and saw Three-Eyed Toad that was dripping with blood had already crawled out from the ground. Now, he was laughing while leaving. Not good, this archfiend unexpectedly didn¡¯t die! Ye Chuan and Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu looked at each other and their limbs became ice-cold. Now, even if they thought to chase, it was already too late. Plague Archfiend instantly disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only some footprints. Chapter 376: Pointer of Seventh Elder Chapter 376: Pointer of Seventh Elder Since they were not able to kill Plague Archfiend, matters had become serious. Sure enough, bad news came one after another. The desk in front of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was quickly filled with letters of assistance from all parts of Azure Dragon Prefecture. After surviving the disaster, Plague Archfiend went mad and slaughtered many villages and small townships. Now, let alone the place where he was located, even the places around him had a very high probability to contract the incurable plague. The terrifying death plague rapidly spread throughout Azure Dragon Prefecture. The might of Eight Azure Dragons Formation was powerful, but it consumed a lot of manpower and material resources every time it was used. In addition, Plague Archfiend was very vigilant, thus, it was unrealistic to lead him to the trap and launch the restriction attack again. Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu dispatched a group of suicide squads, not seeking to kill Plague Archfiend, only seeking to drive him away or lead him outside Azure Dragon City. Unfortunately, the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment. The overwhelming majority of suicide squads were gone forever. After indulging in the wanton massacre for full seven days, Plague Archfiend finally left. Just in seven days, Azure Dragon Prefecture had changed beyond recognition. Except for Azure Dragon City and eight ancient towns, all other villages and small townships were practically destroyed with starving refugees swarming over the land. On the eighth morning, after determining Plague Archfiend had left Azure Dragon Prefecture, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu came to find Ye Chuan. She said nothing, just handed over a thick stack of intelligence reports. Analyzing these intelligence reports, Plague Archfiend was moving towards the south, straight towards Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°Lady, is this report confirmed?¡± Ye Chuan asked with solemn complexion. Azure Dragon Sect had deep roots, although it suffered a heavy damage, it was far from damaging its foundation. It could recover in no time. Cloud Mist Sect however was different, let alone the death of tens of thousands of people, just the death of one thousand or several hundred people was fatal. ¡°It¡¯s confirmed. That Archfiend is going towards Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Azure Dragon Lady nodded her head and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, perhaps, you need to rush back to Cloud Mist Sect immediately to arrange the line of defense. I can assist you with crystal cores and a team of 500 elite disciples led personally by Azure Snake Daoist Master. In addition, I will send someone to delay Plague Archfiend as much as possible. As for anything else, I truly can do nothing about it.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you, Lady, I will leave now. If there is any matter in the future, then Lady can come to Cloud Mist Sect to look for me.¡± Ye Chuan thanked for the good intention of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu, then whistled. Immediately, Little Long¡¯er flew over, and riding on his back, he instructed him to leave. Now, he was burning with impatience, he was dying to return to Cloud Mist Sect. Flame Devil, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu all used their respective techniques to keep up the pace. ¡°Noble son Ye, take care¡­¡­¡± Azure Dragon Lady ran outside the door, but Ye Chuan had already reached the horizon and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Living corpse Old Han with only one arm walked over to the back of Azure Dragon Lady and said, ¡°Lady, the sect has just calmed down and it is precisely the time we need manpower, are you sure that you want to help Cloud Mist Sect at this time?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care about the life and death of Cloud Mist Sect, but noble son Ye must not have any accidents.¡± Azure Dragon Lady replied. ¡°Lady, you are so willful. As a matter of fact, there are many good men in this world, there is no need to¡­¡­¡± Old Han shook his head. Plague Archfiend was too powerful, even Azure Dragon Sect had suffered a heavy damage. This time, Cloud Mist Sect absolutely couldn¡¯t escape from this calamity. Dispatching more people to help them was also useless, it would just increase the number of casualties. ¡°Old Han, let me be willful for the last time.¡± Azure Dragon Lady faintly said looking at the direction where Ye Chuan had disappeared. Then, she added, ¡°Tell Azure Snake Daoist Master, whatever happens, he must protect noble son Ye.¡± ¡°Fine, I understand.¡± Old Han sighed and retreating a few steps, he disappeared. Even the entire Azure Dragon Sect was unable to stop this Plague Archfiend let alone Azure Snake Daoist Master. But, with the help of 500 elite disciples, it was not impossible to run away with Ye Chuan at the critical moment. Azure Dragon Lady didn¡¯t say directly, but her meaning was very clear. As long as the safety of Ye Chuan was ensured, it was fine with her. As for Cloud Mist Sect, whether Plague Archfiend thoroughly destroyed it or not, it was outside of her consideration and also the matter she couldn¡¯t control. Towards evening, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu took drastic measure. She took advantage of this occasion to launch a reformation and reorganization within Azure Dragon Sect. But at this time, Ye Chuan had already returned to Cloud Mist Sect. And without any demur, he first activated Heaven Concealing Great Formation and other defense restrictions of Cloud Mist Sect not caring the huge consumption of his vitality, then he called together Zhu Sijia and others to Cloud Mist Hall and announced the news of Plague Archfiend¡¯s invasion. After hearing how powerful Plague Archfiend was, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect got nervous. Soon, a squad of scouts rushed out of the sect and secretly lock onto the whereabouts of Plague Archfiend. And the intelligence reports were piled up in front of Ye Chuan. Sure enough, this Archfiend was coming straight to Cloud Mist Sect. In the battle of Azure Tree Town, after surviving that calamity, Plague Archfiend was dripping with blood suffering heavy injuries, but his fighting power was still fierce. He crushed everything on his way. Disciples tried their best to lure him away, but this Plague Archfiend would just chase them a bit, then the latter would again rush towards Cloud Mist Sect. After approaching Cloud Mist Mountain Range, it was even more obvious. He didn¡¯t push forward towards the depth of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, but went straight towards the entrance gate of Cloud Mist Sect. Flame Devil, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu jointly attacked him, but they were also unable to stop this devil. Looking at his current pace, he would arrive at Cloud Mist Sect early morning tomorrow at the latest. At that time, this sect which had long inheritance would have a great calamity. At night, Ye Chuan climbed up Heavenly Dragon Peak and went to Evil Dragon Abyss. He saw Sea Demoness Hai Lili was busy taking meticulous care of Heavenly Dragon Tree and Mist Bamboo Sprout. Compared to before, Mist Bamboo Sprout was quite taller and a green mist was lingering around it. As for Heavenly Dragon Tree, its change was even bigger. Rice grains hung down from its top. Each one of them was mellow and full, and their shape was just like that of a real rice grain but was much bigger. One grain was the size of a bowl. In addition, they emitted a faint fragrance which vastly increased the appetite. Heavenly Dragon Rice! Under the meticulous care of Sea Demoness, Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed quickly grew into a Heavenly Dragon Tree, and it could also be harvested in earlier date! After breaking through to Daoist Master realm, normal food was optional, and Ye Chuan never had any interest in ordinary food. But, standing beside Evil Dragon Abyss and smelling the fragrance of Heavenly Dragon Rice grains, he involuntarily wanted to eat it. All creatures of the rear mountain were roaring, he didn¡¯t how many yao beasts were restlessly walking back and forth. It seemed that all of them were attracted by the fragrance of Heavenly Dragon Rice grain, but were stopped outside the restriction. Since ordinary yao beasts were attracted by it, could it be that Plague Archfiend was also¡­¡­ Ye Chuan suddenly understood why Plague Archfiend was rushing straight to Cloud Mist Sect. Heavenly Dragon Rice is an ancient variety. Each one of them was equivalent to the best medicinal pill, moreover, was something that couldn¡¯t be reproduced and refined. It was very tempting for both cultivators and yao beasts. ¡°Noble son, you came?¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili suddenly turned around sensing something, and then discovered that Ye Chuan had come at an unknown time. ¡°Well, Hai Lili, when did this Heavenly Dragon Rice grain grew?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Several days ago, a cyan robed person who called himself Seventh Elder had come, he helped to grow them. He had brought a bottle of mountain spring which is said to be something spring of life, and after he poured it on the root of Heavenly Dragon Tree, Heavenly Dragon Rice grain grew not long after.¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili answered, then pausing for a bit, she seemed to remember something and taking out a brocade bag, she handed it over to Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right, noble son, Seventh Elder gave me this brocade bag to hand it over to you.¡± Brocade bag? Could it be that Seventh Elder had already expected this crisis of Cloud Mist Sect? Did he already know that Plague Archfiend would come here? The eyes of Ye Chuan shone and eagerly opened this brocade bag. Chapter 377: Sea Demon Clansmen Chapter 377: Sea Demon Clansmen The content inside this brocade bag was very simple, there was only one word ¡®Water¡¯. Water (Ë®)? What does this mean? Ye Chuan was puzzled. Now he was certain that that cyan robed Seventh Elder was secretly pointing out how to deal with that ferocious Plague Archfiend. But, this ¡®Water¡¯, what does it mean? ¡°By the way, noble son, my clansmen have arrived last night. There were many of them, and noble son wasn¡¯t in the sect, so¡­¡­¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili wanted to say something but hesitated, seemingly, she was embarrassed to speak directly. Sea Demon Clan was from the sea and was related to water. Could it be that this ¡®Water¡¯ was related to them? Ye Chuan suddenly thought so and asked, ¡°Hai Lili, you clansmen, how many are there and where are they now?¡± ¡°Roughly more than one thousand. My grandfather, the patriarch of Sea Demon Clan, has also come. Now, they are stationed in a small coastal village called Earth Dragon Village.¡± Hai Lili responded and slightly lowered her head. She wanted to add something but she didn¡¯t dare to say it. Her grandfather had come from afar with a large group of clansmen to take a look at Heavenly Dragon Tree, but when they reached the periphery of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, they restrained themselves and putting on airs, they wanted Ye Chuan to personally go to pick them up. What was the current identity of Ye Chuan? Even grand Da Qin Crown Prince didn¡¯t enter his eyes, how could he go over there to pick up that old man? Sea Demoness Hai Lili was in a dilemma. She perfectly knew the stinking temper of her grandfather, it was stinking and hard, but the desire of her grandfather, she was truly finding it difficult to say to Ye Chuan as he might feel that it was a loss of a face. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, map!¡± Ye Chuan instructed and Little Long¡¯er who was far behind walked over and spread the map of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Ye Chuan carefully looked for a while and found a little mark on the map, which was Earth Dragon Village. ¡°Hai Lili, what kinds of innate skills do your Sea Demon Clan have?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°This¡­¡­, there is Sea Demon Song to confuse others, and¡­¡­ nothing else.¡± Hai Lili thought for a bit, but she truly couldn¡¯t find any other distinctive innate techniques. And then, feeling somewhat embarrassed, she added, ¡°Moreover¡­¡­, not every clansman can use Sea Demon Song, only those who have imperial bloodline can use it. Within the entire Sea Demon Clan, at present, only I can use it, even my grandfather and big brother cannot use it.¡± Hai Lili understood the meaning of Ye Chuan, unfortunately, she was powerless. It was useless to ask her for help. In the past two days, she had also heard about the matter of Plague Archfiend. Even Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu like peak Daoist Master realm experts weren¡¯t his opponent, needless to speak about herself and her clansmen. ¡°Hai Lili, are you sure?¡± Ye Chuan asked rather disappointed. The innate skill of Sea Demoness Hai Lili, Sea Demon Song, it could instantly make enemy absent-minded and petrify. In the battlefield, this could be a trump card. Unfortunately, it might not necessarily be that effective against heaven-defying experts. Last time, it was the case with State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. The cultivation base of Plague Archfiend was heaven-defying. Just like State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, he was also a Half Sage realm heaven-defying expert. Only this move, Sea Demon Song, was not enough to deal with such evil spirit. ¡°Yes, there is nothing else.¡± Hai Lili shook her head. She also wanted to help Cloud Mist Sect resolve this calamity. Unfortunately, she truly could do nothing about it. So many elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect couldn¡¯t withstand even a single blow, and no matter how many of them rushed forward, they couldn¡¯t kill this Plague Archfiend. In such a case, dispatching all Sea Demon clansmen was also useless. Otherwise, people all around the sea wouldn¡¯t have chased to hunt them around. ¡°No, wrong.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and muttered, ¡°Seventh Elder is certainly not wrong. This ¡®Water¡¯ is definitely related to your Sea Demon Clan. And since he said so, your Sea Demon Clan must have means to restrain this Plague Archfiend! No, there is definitely something we haven¡¯t thought¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan pondered, and at that time, he saw moist footprints under the legs of Sea Demoness Hai Lili, then he suddenly had a thought. After that, he suddenly snatched the map from the hand of Little Long¡¯er, and looking at this map, he saw that Earth Dragon Village where Sea Demon Clan was stationed was not even ten li away from the sea. Moreover, there just happened to be a river beside that village that led directly to the sea. ¡°Hai Lili, can your Sea Demon Clan make the sea-level to rise suddenly and submerge the coastal highland?¡± Ye Chuan asked, suppressing the excitement in his heart. He vaguely guessed the meaning of cyan robed Seventh Elder. The most destructive power of Plague Archfiend was that terrifying death plague which plunged people into an abyss of misery. But on the battlefield, it had only three fatal moves. One was its doughty body which rendered ordinary swords useless; Second was toad technique to suck in people, it could swallow an entire bull; third was turning the vicinity of 100 meters around him into a lava which would change anyone into ashes. Among these three fatal moves, the third one was the hardest to deal with. With this single move, this archfiend didn¡¯t fear being besieged. It was precisely because of this move, even after suffering heavy injuries in Azure Tree House, he was still rushing over here to Cloud Mist Sect without any misgivings. Sea Demon clan was innately the warrior of the sea, and water can extinguish the fire, so wouldn¡¯t they be able to restrain this move of Plague Archfiend? ¡°This¡­¡­, it depends on how high the highland is. Usually, with the cooperation of warriors, we can change the wind direction and make 70 meters tall sea waves without any problem. If¡­¡­, if my grandfather is willing to make a move in person, then making a 100 meters sea wave is also not impossible. But it cannot be maintained for a long time, can only be maintained for about an hour.¡± Hai Lili replied. She was slightly humble, didn¡¯t dare to boast wildly in front of Ye Chuan. ¡°Enough, an hour is enough, this is the greatest innate skill, hahaha, let¡¯s go, go to Earth Dragon Village!¡± Ye Chuan laughed and picked up that spike of Heavenly Dragon Rice grains. Changing the direction of the wind and creating a tidal wave was a usual matter for Sea Demon clansmen who had lived in the sea for generations, but little did they imagined that this was their greatest technique. ¡°Noble son, these Heavenly Dragon Rice grains are not mature yet, why¡­¡­¡± Hai Lili was greatly surprised. She wanted to stop him, but it was already too late, so she felt pity. According to the book, only ripe Heavenly Dragon Rice had an extraordinary effect. Picking them before they ripen, although they still had an effect, compared to the ripe one, there was a big difference. For instance, eating a ripe Heavenly Dragon Rice would increase the cultivation base by ten years and prolongs lifespan by one hundred years; as for unripe Heavenly Dragon Rice, it would only increase cultivation by one year, which was only one-tenth of the effect. ¡°As long as there is Heavenly Dragon Tree, it will grow again next year, what is there to fear? Besides, since we are going to see your grandfather, how can we not bring a big gift? Let¡¯s go, Hai Lili, we are going now!¡± Ye Chuan smiled and told Little Long¡¯er to go and look for Zhu Sijia, and tell her to mobilize the experts of the sect. As for himself, he left Cloud Mist Sect ahead with Hai Lili on the same night. ¡°Noble son, such a big gift is not needed to go see my grandfather, ai¡­¡­¡± ¡°No, your grandfather is my elder, how can we slight him? Unfortunately, it is so urgent, we don¡¯t have enough time to prepare more suitable gifts, I can only make do with it.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The voices of Hai Lili and Ye Chuan came from far away. Sea Demoness Hai Lili still felt it was a pity to pick up this unripe Heavenly Dragon Rice grain, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t care, this price was worth it. Plague Archfiend was clearly coming for this Heavenly Dragon Rice, if he didn¡¯t pick it up, then how can he lure him to Earth Dragon Village? This gift was precisely prepared for Plague Archfiend. Naturally, Hai Lili was unable to figure this out for the time being, and Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t take the initiative to speak it out. Chapter 378: Earth Dragon Village Chapter 378: Earth Dragon Village In less than three hours, Ye Chuan and Hai Lili arrived at coastal area. Cloud Mist Mountain Range was located at the southernmost area of Da Qin Dynasty. Further south, there was a vast southern sea. A river that originated from the depth of Cloud Mist Mountain Range eventually flowed into this sea. The source of this long river was snow-capped mountains at the depth of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and the water was very clear upstream, but eroding mud and sands of two sides all the way made it muddy, changing into a yellow colored river, so the native people called this winding river Earth Dragon River. Earth Dragon Village was located at the edge of this Earth Dragon River, only some li away from the sea. Originally, this was a lively fishing village and its area was also not small, but an ocean tsunami of a few years ago changed it into a pile of debris, and soon after that, the native people abandoned it. Sea Demon Clan who had come from far away temporarily stayed here in this discarded fishing village. After hurrying on their journey for days and nights, the warriors were already tired and sleepy. Inside campsite was very quiet, only a bonfire was crackling. But, the arrival of two uninvited guests quickly made this quite campsite noisy. ¡°We pay respect to Miss.¡± Seeing the figure of Hai Lili, Sea Demon clan¡¯s warriors who were in guard duty greeted in succession. ¡°Where is my grandfather?¡± Hai Lili looked all around and without waiting for these guards to reply, she rushed into the largest tent like a gust of wind. Soon, a laughing voice was transmitted outside from inside this tent, then an old man with a white beard walked out being supported by Hai Lili. When he saw Ye Chuan, he cupped his hands and said, ¡°Honored guest, honored guest, I truly didn¡¯t expect noble son Ye to come so late at night, we didn¡¯t have any time to prepare, truly am embarrassed.¡± ¡°Patriarch is too polite.¡± Ye Chuan also cupped his hand and secretly sized up this patriarch of Sea Demon Clan. At first glance, this old man with a white beard was no different from ordinary old man, but his body was robust, and the energy fluctuation within his body was majestic, not any inferior to Old Demon of Mount Yin, clearly was also peak Daoist Master realm expert. Perhaps, because he lived in water throughout the year, even though he was old in age, his skin was smooth without wrinkles. When he walked, like Hai Lili, he would also leave two damp footprints on the ground. ¡°Noble son Ye, please, come inside!¡± ¡°Please!¡± Ye Chuan followed behind this old man and entered the tent of Sea Demon Patriarch. Then, the two people sat on the ground. As for Hai Lili, she quickly prepared a steaming hot tea and placed a cup of tea in front of them. After a few polite words, this old man mentioned the main topic. He looked at Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, now you are the foremost person of Cloud Mist Sect, not a Sect Master but surpass Sect Master. From Lili, I heard that you are extremely busy, I wonder why you came here tonight¡­¡­¡± ¡°I came here tonight especially to invite patriarch to visit our Cloud Mist Sect. Even if one is busy, one also cannot give the honored guest a cold-shoulder. The time was pressing, so I just brought a small gift, I hope patriarch will accept it.¡± Ye Chuan took out the spike of Heavenly Dragon Rice grains and began to pluck the grains one by one in public. Altogether, there were 12 grains. And among them, he pushed three to the front of this old man, and he however put away the remaining nine. Good things should be taken out slowly. Ye Chuan intentionally hanged on the appetite of this old man. Plague Archfiend was very powerful. Even if Sea Demon Clan had the ability to restrain him, Ye Chuan feared that it would not be easy to deal with. If he wanted to make this old man make a move, then he naturally had to get him more motivated. ¡°Noble son Ye, what are these?¡± Old Man asked. He was somewhat confused and also somewhat excited, vaguely guessing what it was. ¡°Patriarch, have a taste and you will know it.¡± Ye Chuan smiled without explaining. And at this moment, he could sense a familiar energy fluctuation coming from far away. Zhu Sijia was truly quick enough to handle affairs. She had quickly rushed over to this village with sect disciples and had arranged an ambush a bit far away from this village. ¡°Okay, then I will taste it.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch peeled off the skin of Heavenly Dragon Rice grain and bit a mouthful of it. Immediately afterward, a delicate fragrance quickly spread all over this tent, then spread inside the entire campsite. The old man didn¡¯t speak, he completely ate that Heavenly Dragon Rice grain in few bites. His entire body felt comfortable, and even his cultivation seemed to have made some progress. ¡°Good, good, Heavenly Dragon Rice, truly is the legendary Heavenly Dragon Rice. Unfortunately, it seems they were not ripe, otherwise, their taste would have been better.¡± ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, eat a few more.¡± Ye Chuan smiled. The old man was also not polite, he picked them up and ate all three Heavenly Dragon Rice grains in one go. And when he thought to eat again, he discovered that there was no more in front of him, ¡°Noble son Ye, how was the harvest of Heavenly Dragon Rice this year?¡± ¡°Since it was just the beginning, only one spike with 12 grains, it will be gone after eating.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°Remaining 9 grains, sell all of them to me, name your price.¡± The Adam¡¯s apple of this old man was moving. He wished to continue eating. ¡°I can give all to you, I don¡¯t need money, just¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan paused and when he wanted to say, Little Long¡¯er came and whispered something in his ear. The complexion of Ye Chuan changed. Sure enough, Plague Archfiend suddenly changed the direction and was rushing towards this place smelling the fragrance of Heavenly Dragon Rice. According to his current speed, he would arrive here at Earth Dragon Village in at most one hour. Ye Chuan had long expected the invasion of this Plague Archfiend, merely, he had not expected that his speed was so fast. Now, there was no time to arrange traps in many places. ¡°Noble son Ye, what happened?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch asked. ¡°Patriarch, to tell you the truth, these Heavenly Dragon Rice grains are being watched by a great archfiend of Half Sage realm. This fellow has a peculiar innate skill, he can instantly change the vicinity of 100 meters around him into magma, as a result, no one can approach him rashly and he basically doesn¡¯t fear being besieged. I am prepared to give these nine remaining Heavenly Dragon Rice grains to make peace, but that naturally is impossible, because it is most likely that he would want Heavenly Dragon Tree too.¡± Ye Chuan said directly. Now he no longer beat around the bush. ¡°Originally, since you are the grandfather of Hai Lili, I could have given all these Heavenly Dragon Rice grains to you as a gift, merely¡­¡­, ai!¡± ¡°What?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch was startled and angry. He suddenly stood up and his killing intent soared. This time, they had come from afar as a pretext to visit his granddaughter Hai Lili, but in fact, they had come for Heavenly Dragon Tree. And being able to taste Heavenly Dragon Rice grain proved that the news of Heavenly Dragon Tree was not wrong. Now, the hope of the revival of their Sea Demon Clan, Heavenly Dragon Tree, was in Cloud Mist Sect. The tree had finally grown after many hardships, compared to Ye Chuan, this old man was even tenser. How could he let this great archfiend snatch it away or destroy it? If ordinary expert dared to have this kind of thoughts, then Sea Demon Patriarch would have immediately gone to tear him apart, but Half Sage realm archfiend, how to deal with him? After getting angry, Sea Demon Patriarch was shocked. He turned around, quickly understanding the intention of Ye Chuan to come here so late at night. So he asked, ¡°Noble son Ye, you suddenly came here so late at night bringing Heavenly Dragon Rice with you, isn¡¯t that to lure that archfiend here? Does that mean, you can kill that archfiend with our help?¡± Although that old man was angry, he was an experienced man, he quickly understood everything. ¡°Yes, this time, this junior came here to ask patriarch to lend a hand. The water can suppress the fire, and all under the heaven, perhaps, only patriarch¡¯s ability to control water harnessing the wind can restrain Plague Archfiend. As long as his ability to turn the vicinity around him into magma is rendered useless, you can leave everything else to our Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°Naturally, this battle will be very dangerous. If patriarch if unwilling, then you should leave now with your clansmen. If the worst comes the worst, I will hand over the remaining Heavenly Dragon Rice grains as well as Heavenly Dragon Tree to him.¡± Ye Chuan counted on the desire of Sea Demon clan towards Heavenly Dragon Rice, and tossed the ball on the hand of Sea Demon Patriarch. The complexion of the old man became cloudy and uncertain, facing this difficult choice. Chapter 379: Archfiend arrives Chapter 379: Archfiend arrives Ye Chuan didn¡¯t force, merely said ¡®the time is running out, the great archfiend will arrive in at most an hour¡¯, then Sea Demon Patriarch had no choice but to make a decision. After that, the warriors of Sea Demon Clan and disciples of Cloud Mist Sect got busy together. They quickly laid out an ancient restriction at the center of this Earth Dragon Village. Late at night, hazy moonlight shrouded the earth. Earth Dragon Village was not far away from the sea, and the surrounding terrain was plain without any high mountains. Looking from a distance, this discarded small village was overcast, not usual dark rather faint greenish grey like an isolated island in the middle of the sea. The moisture in the air had vastly increased and the ground was also wet, in addition, drops of water could be seen on the branches as if a heavy rain had fallen just a moment ago. Heavenly Sea Restriction! Ye Chuan personally directed, quickly laying out an ancient restriction. Originally, he wanted to lay out Heaven Concealing Great Formation, merely, because the time was too pressing, he was forced to give up. Moreover, Heavenly Sea Restriction was in line with local circumstances, so it can make full use of nearby Earth Dragon River and the sea. Like that, it might be more effective than Heaven Concealing Great Formation. ¡°Report¡­¡­¡± A disciple of Cloud Mist Sect flew over stepping on a flying sword and reported to Ye Chuan falling to his knees, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, the great devil is already within 70 li.¡± In the dark, a hint of red light appeared. That was Flame Devil. He had rushed over stepping on a flying sword. His body was dripping with blood, suffering a heavy injury. ¡°Little Long¡¯er!¡± Ye Chuan called out and he didn¡¯t need to say more. Little Long¡¯er transformed into a dragon and rushed over, then brought heavily injured Flame Devil to the rear to help settle down. The ancient Heavenly Sea Restriction gradually took shape. Then the warriors of Sea Demon Clan and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect retreated group by group and hid. Now, everything was ready, they just need to wait for Plague Archfiend to come here. Thinking that they were about to face a Half Sage realm great archfiend, Sea Demon Patriarch¡¯s complexion was serious and his heart was weighed down with anxieties, but in order to ensure that Heavenly Dragon Tree doesn¡¯t fall into the hands of this great archfiend, he could only grit his teeth and be ready to risk everything, making an all-out effort. The participation of Sea Demon Clan made this Heavenly Sea Restriction of Ye Chuan even more perfect. Now, the moist ground had already dried up miraculously and one could vaguely see something different far away, but one couldn¡¯t perceive anything without looking very carefully. Any trace of restriction was already hidden away. Sea Demon Clan could summon wind and rain to submerge an island, and similarly, they could also reverse their technique to dry up the moisture from the air and the ground, changing watery field into a dried desert. All races that had long inheritance had unique techniques or innate skills. Merely, they often get accustomed to it and take it for granted. Ye Chuan secretly rejoiced for not directly killing Sea Demoness Hai Lili at that time, otherwise, how could he have found these soldiers today? ¡°Report¡­¡­¡± The second scout rushed over and said looking pale, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, the great devil is less than 30 li away.¡± 30 li? In the blink of an eye, he had already traveled 40 li? When everyone was shocked and an angry roar came from far away. Now, they could already hear the angry roar of Plague Archfiend. ¡°You all, retreat!¡± Ye Chuan calmly sat cross-legged on the spot and took out all remaining Heavenly Dragon Rice grains. Sea Demon Patriarch was also greatly surprised, but Ye Chuan had already expected the astonishing speed of this Plague Archfiend. He had already come into contact with this Plague Archfiend, thus, he knew that Plague Archfiend was very powerful, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have spent so many thoughts to deal with him. ¡°Ye Chuan, take care!¡± Zhu Sijia worriedly looked at Ye Chuan and then retreated with disciples. ¡°Noble son, be careful!¡± Hai Lili was also similarly worried. She retreated together with her grandfather. Now, in the discarded little village Earth Dragon Village, only Ye Chuan remained. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Sea Demon warriors were all hidden far away. The key point of this battle was to make this Plague Archfiend take the bait, otherwise, all his efforts will be wasted. After the experience of Azure Tree Town, this Plague Archfiend was bound to be more cautious. A tall and thin figure came from far away. After Flame Demon, Old Demon of Mount Yin also returned. He was similarly dripping with blood and was heavily injured. In addition, he had lost his flying sword, and he had used a unique technique to extend vines to wrap around trees and boulders far away, then swing to return. He just bowed to Ye Chuan from far away and entered into the darkness, looking for a place to hide. Roar! The angry roar was getting nearer and nearer. At this time, without anyone coming to report, everyone knew that Plague Archfiend was already very close and would arrive here very soon. A powerful dragon roar resounded, and a thousand meters long dragon flew back and streak across the wilderness as fast as lightning. Nan Tiandu was the last one to return. After that, a huge Three-Eyed Toad appeared in the field of vision of everyone. He was pursuing relentlessly behind Nan Tiandu with dense killing intent. Although he was riddled with scars, his killing intent was soaring. Came! This fellow is finally here! Ye Chuan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly opened his eyes and coldly looked at menacing Plague Archfiend. The speed of Plague Archfiend was very fast and he seemed unstoppable. But, just before he stepped into Heavenly Sea Restriction, he suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Chuan who was sitting cross-legged far away. It was unknown where he noticed something or he was just vigilant. Sea Demon warriors and disciples of Cloud Mist Sect who were hiding in the dark got nervous. At this critical juncture, if all their previous efforts were wasted, then it would be too regretful. If this fellow turned around towards defenseless Cloud Mist Sect, then that would be too terrible! ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, we meet again.¡± Ye Chuan faintly said. Although others were nervous, his complexion was as usual. ¡°Brat, you again?¡± Plague Archfiend gnashed his teeth and his Adam¡¯s apple moved as if he was dying to swallow Ye Chuan whole. But, he didn¡¯t dare to move, obviously, he had some misgivings towards Ye Chuan. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was not up to much, he could swat him to a meat pulp, he was very crafty and he had all kinds of means. Only god knows what kind of sinister tricks were waiting for him. That scene of outside Azure Tree Town, Plague Archfiend remembered it vividly. He knew the means of Ye Chuan from experience. No need to speak that the flying sword within his dantian was sharp, it was actually also smeared with a hypertoxic, in addition, he didn¡¯t fear corrosion of his body. Such means and sinister moves, he feared that only Ye Chuan had such ability all under heaven. Thinking about that time when he wanted to swallow Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, he had to immediately spat it out and his tongue was nearly cut off. Plague Archfiend hated him so much that he gritted his teeth. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me, Your Excellency Archfiend, welcome to my Cloud Mist Sect, are you looking for these?¡± Ye Chuan laughed. But, this Plague Archfiend became even more vigilant seeing the bad smile of Ye Chuan. However, immediately after that, his eyes shone and his nose moved a bit, then his eyes were attracted by those nine Heavenly Dragon Rice grains in front of Ye Chuan. Now, his three eyes were burning. ¡°Heavenly Dragon Rice, it is truly the legendary Heavenly Dragon Rice!¡± The gaze of Plague Archfiend shone and looking at Heavenly Dragon Rice grains in front of Ye Chuan, he muttered to himself. In addition, he was drooling and was dying to gobble all of them down! His four limbs became restless and he was somewhat unable to control himself. Chapter 380: Toad in urn Chapter 380: Toad in urn ¡°Correct, it¡¯s Heavenly Dragon Rice. Eating one can increase the cultivation by one hundred years and prolong life by a thousand years. It is far more effective than legendary celestial pills.¡± Ye Chuan extoled the goods he sold, then peeling off a Heavenly Dragon Rice grain, he threw it and said, ¡°Here, Your Excellency Archfiend, have a taste.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch who was hiding in the dark had his eyes wide open. Even Zhu Sijia, Hai Lili and others were also similarly surprised. An invaluable Heavenly Dragon Rice grain, he gave it away just like that! Sea Demon Patriarch was distressed and his beard trembled. In addition, he had an impulse to rush out and curse Ye Chuan for dissipating fortune. Plague Archfiend was also very surprised, he caught the Heavenly Dragon Rice, but didn¡¯t dare to eat it. His complexion became sinister and said, ¡°Brat, what kind of tricks are you playing? Did you put in poison inside this Heavenly Dragon Rice?¡± Smelling the fragrance of this Heavenly Dragon Rice from up close, Plague Archfiend was tempted to eat it, but looking at Ye Chuan sitting cross-legged on the ground, he didn¡¯t dare to eat it with ease. What was Heavenly Dragon Rice? Would this brat give him this kind of invaluable treasure with good intention? ¡°I swear in the name of Cloud Mist Sect Master, there is no poison.¡± Ye Chuan paused and indifferently added, ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, this is just a gift for you. For you, this Heavenly Dragon Rice is a rare treasure, but as far as I¡¯m concerned, it is just a rice grain. You see, I still have many of them here. One spike of Heavenly Dragon Rice possesses more than a dozen Heavenly Dragon Rice grain. I don¡¯t dare to say much but Heavenly Dragon Tree bears a thousand or so spikes in one year without any problem. That means, we harvest more than 10,000 Heavenly Dragon Rice grains each year.¡± Ye Chuan made a show of being very much in earnest. And hearing his words, Plague Archfiend began drooling. The dedicated food of ancient Heavenly Dragon, one grain of Heavenly Dragon Rice could increase cultivation by one hundred years. Even in the world beyond the highest heaven, it was very hard to find, but this brat harvest more than ten thousand each year. What did this mean? In the world beyond the highest heaven, just relying on this one point, he could enlist the services of peak experts and open up a territory to become an overlord of one region! ¡°Brat, you mean to say that you have a Heavenly Dragon Tree?¡± Plague Archfiend asked. ¡°Of course, otherwise, where did this Heavenly Dragon Rice came from? Take a closer look, these are definitely the freshest Heavenly Dragon Rice grains. I just picked them up in order to let you taste even though they are unripe. Unfortunately, dignified archfiend actually didn¡¯t even dare to eat it, alas¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan sighed with some pity. It was unknown whether Ye Chuan felt pity for picking up Heavenly Dragon Rice unripe or for Plague Archfiend not daring to eat it even though he had such a high cultivation base. ¡°Humph, eat then eat, this lordship is not afraid of you.¡± Plague Archfiend coldly snorted and placed this Heavenly Dragon Rice in his mouth. He was already unable to endure not eating it, so even without the prodding of Ye Chuan, he would have eaten it taking a risk. ¡°Amazing, archfiend is archfiend, I admire you!¡± Ye Chuan stuck up his thumb and said with a smile, ¡°If I was in your place, then I definitely wouldn¡¯t have eaten it. Your Excellency Archfiend, do you know what my Cloud Mist Sect is most skilled at?¡± ¡°What is your Cloud Mist Sect most skilled at?¡± Plague Archfiend¡¯s heart thumped. He had just eaten this Heavenly Dragon Rice, but he didn¡¯t dare to swallow it. Seeing the smile of Ye Chuan, he felt a bad premonition in his heart, and the more he brilliantly he smiled, the worse he felt. ¡°My Cloud Mist Sect is very weak, it cannot compare to the large sects like Azure Dragon Sect. Laying out Eight Azure Dragons Formation like heaven-defying restriction of the world beyond the highest heaven, this point, you can rest assured, but¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°But, small sects also have small sects¡¯ path of survival. Without special skill, anyone can destroy it and it will also be unable to pass on for millions of years. Ever since ancient times, my Cloud Mist Sect is well known for planting medicinal herbs and refining medicinal pills, naturally, we can refine all life-saving highest grade medicinal pills, say nothing of poison. Without refining poison, how can we refine antidote?¡± The complexion of Plague Archfiend sunk and said, ¡°Brat, you mean to say that Heavenly Dragon Rice was contaminated with poison?¡± ¡°That¡¯s natural, otherwise, who would give such treasure as a gift? Do you truly consider my Cloud Mist Sect a blockhead in money matters?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head as if he looked down upon the stupidity of Plague Archfiend. ¡°Brat, is your vow a dog-fart?¡± Plague Archfiend was angry and he ferociously took a step forward, hastily spitting out the Heavenly Dragon Rice. When the duck that had reached in front of the mouth flew away, it was sufficient to many anyone angry, but here, even the meat that had already reached inside his mouth had to be spat out, how could he not be angry? Plague Archfiend hatefully gnashed his teeth and his huge body expanded again. In addition, his killing intent soared. ¡°When did I make a vow? I am just the Big Disciple of the sect, not Sect Master. Moreover, I was just speaking casually, did you believe it?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head again. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, brat, I will kill you!¡± Plague Archfiend wanted to vomit a mouthful of blood. He roared in anger and rushed towards Ye Chuan. Whatever traps, whatever schemes, at this moment, he didn¡¯t care, his eyes were only on Ye Chuan. He just wanted to tear Ye Chuan into pieces. Three times, this fellow with mediocre cultivation base had made of fool out of him. Let alone this archfiend, even a clay figurine would have gotten angry at this point! That feeling was just like a buzzing mosquito flying back and forth around him while biting several times, who could endure this and not swat it? In the eyes of this Plague Archfiend, Ye Chuan was just a wicked mosquito, and he was unable to endure anymore! ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, don¡¯t be angry and hasty. Life is short, let¡¯s sit down and discuss properly, isn¡¯t that fine?¡± Ye Chuan smiled as if he was looking at the fish that had taken the bait. Seeing Plague Archfiend rushed forward menacingly, the legs of an average person would have already gone soft in fear, but this was exactly what Ye Chuan was looking for. ¡°Discuss fart!¡± Plague Archfiend flew into the rage and accelerated, moreover, magma appeared under his leg as he rushed towards Ye Chuan. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, in such time, sitting down and discuss? It was fine if Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t said so, but since Ye Chuan had spoken, it nearly drove Plague Archfiend mad. Even in the world beyond the highest heaven, when those Sage realm experts beat him viciously, he didn¡¯t feel so oppressed. He gritted his teeth and used his maximum speed, rushing towards Ye Chuan. Now, the distance between them got shorter and shorter. ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, don¡¯t be like this, it is fine to kill me but burning all these Heavenly Dragon Rice to ashes, won¡¯t you feel anguished?¡± Ye Chuan said as he stood but, but he didn¡¯t leave. Zhu Sijia who was hiding in the dark was so anxious that she nearly rushed out. Plague Archfiend who was rushing menacingly suddenly stopped. What Ye Chuan said was correct, they however were Heavenly Dragon Rice, eight of them, burning all of them into ashes, wasn¡¯t that pitiful? ¡°Alas, as I said, you are stupid! In any case, you also cannot eat poison, moreover, burning down the things you don¡¯t own, why would you feel distressed? Eating cabbage every day but worried about whether the treasures in the hands of bigwigs would fall in price or not, say, aren¡¯t you this kind of person?¡± Ye Chuan smirked and suddenly waved his hand and put away all Heavenly Dragon Rice in front of him, including that one Heavenly Dragon Rice spat out by Plague Archfiend. Then, he retreated in high speed. Roar! An angry roar resounded throughout the night sky. Was fooled again, this brat, he had to kill this brat to vent off his anger! Plague Archfiend was thoroughly driven mad. He suddenly accelerated and closed the distance between him and Ye Chuan, entirely unaware of stepping into a trap, he became a toad in urn. Chapter 381: The might of Sea Demon Clan Chapter 381: The might of Sea Demon Clan Plague Archfiend¡¯s speed was very fast and he was gritting his teeth looking ferocious. Unfortunately, Ye Chuan was also not slow. Even though Plague Archfiend had the momentum to swallow the heaven, he failed to accomplish anything. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t meet him head-on and he also had no intention to counterattack. He just ran all around displaying the might of Cyan Feather Technique. Although he was in danger again and again, he dodged all the attacks of Plague Archfiend. Angry roars of Plague Archfiend resounded once after another as he attacked with all his strength. The vicinity of 100 meters had also changed into bright red magma. If Ye Chuan accidentally fell into it, then not even his hair would remain. Wherever this great archfiend passed, everything would change into magma and then after gradually cooling down, sandstones would change into a colored glass. But the air above the entire Earth Dragon Village gradually become boiling hot. Ye Chuan was still running all around. But the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and warriors of Sea Demon Clan hiding in the dark however were drenched with cold sweat. They were much more nervous than Ye Chuan who was on the battlefield. This was like the dance on the edge of the blade, this was the battle that only belonged to the brave! Sea Demon Patriarch was watching with his eyes wide open and his complexion was stretched taut with cold sweats oozing from his forehead. As the patriarch of Sea Demon Clan, during his lifetime when he was traveling, he had seen unknown numbers of experts and evil spirits, but he had seldom seen someone as ferocious as this Plague Archfiend. Even with his cultivation base of peak Daoist Master realm, he didn¡¯t dare to fight alone with this Plague Archfiend. Even if he toughened his scalp and fought with this archfiend, that would also bode ill rather than well. He didn¡¯t know whether he could last ten rounds, and a bit of carelessness would thoroughly scatter his soul. The cultivation of Ye Chuan was not up to much, only was Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, thus, he couldn¡¯t be regarded as a top-notch expert, and the gap between his strength and the strength of Plague Archfiend was huge. But, Ye Chuan had the courage and skill to fight against this Plague Archfiend, this was something that made other people look at him with deep veneration. As a Big Disciple of the sect, he was still young in age, but, his was already so daring and had this kind of skill. If he had time to cultivate for eight to ten more years and made a breakthrough to peak Daoist Master realm or even Half-Sage realm, then what would he become? This old man intently watched the figure of Ye Chuan and a hint of admiration flashed through his eyes. Then, he turned his head and look at his granddaughter Hai Lili who was standing nervously behind him while secretly making a decision. Roar! An angry roar resounded again. Now, the roars were getting louder and louder. Since Plague Archfiend failed to land even a single hit on Ye Chuan after such a long time, he became even angrier, ¡°Brat, if you are capable, don¡¯t run.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of shouting at the top of your voice? If you have the ability, then come, catch me!¡± Ye Chuan sneered, and not only he didn¡¯t stop, on the contrary, he accelerated and ran wildly all around. The speed of Plague Archfiend was very fast, but the speed of Ye Chuan was also fast, in addition, Ye Chuan was much smaller than him in size, so it was hard for him to catch Ye Chuan even though the distance between them was not that big. As a result, he was very depressed in his heart. In addition, he wanted to kill Ye Chuan to vent off his anger, but the result was the more he attacked, the more depressed he became. This was just like a tiger wanting to swat a fly to death but failed to swat a fly to death even after trying many times, on the contrary, after swatting for a long time, the tiger¡¯s entire body ached. In the beginning, Ye Chuan just ran around in a circle on the same place for a while, then, he slowly led this Plague Archfiend to the center of this village. This was the place where the might of Heavenly Sea Restriction was strongest, and also was the center of this entire Earth Dragon Village, which was advantageous to Sea Demon Clan. After running to an abandoned log cabin, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Plague Archfiend who was pursuing relentlessly. After breaking through to rank 3 Daoist Master realm and condensing eight Heaven Swallowing Talisman, the physical body of Ye Chuan was especially doughty, but even he was completely exhausted in this chase. On several occasions, he was nearly swallowed by this Plague Archfiend. If he was truly caught by this Plague Archfiend, then all ambushes and restriction would have become useless. Even if Nan Tiandu, Sea Demon Patriarch and others had rushed over to help, it would have been of no avail. In this battle, Ye Chuan had carefully arranged the ambush, but he was also similarly risking his own life. And this was much more dangerous than that battle of Azure Tree Town. ¡°Brat, run, why aren¡¯t you running now?¡± Plague Archfiend rushed over with dense killing intent. Now, he was gnashing his teeth and his three eyes were blood-red. After such a long chase, Ye Chuan was so tired that he was already half-dead, he however was not that exhausted as if he had endless strength. ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, I think, it would be better for us to discuss through it, it is really boring to kill each other.¡± Ye Chuan looked sincere and like a na?ve and honest youth who had just left the mountain, he added, ¡°You see, my Cloud Mist Sect have a Heavenly Dragon Tree, but my sect lacks a true powerful expert. Every year, we harvest so much Heavenly Dragon Rice grains that we are unable to finish eating. But, taking them out to sell would make people green-eyed. I don¡¯t know how many demons and ghosts will glare like a tiger eyeing its prey. How about you, as a great archfiend, you didn¡¯t even care about how far away, just thinking about eating a Heavenly Dragon Rice or some other good thing, you personally run over here, killing all the way. Even if you don¡¯t consider this a nuisance, it is also beneath your dignity. That doesn¡¯t deserve your status of archfiend. As a matter of fact, I think we can truly cooperate.¡± ¡°How to cooperate?¡± Plague Archfiend stopped and ferociously stared Ye Chuan with his three eyes. But, he was somewhat tempted in his heart. This was not some medicinal pill, rather the dedicate food of ancient Heavenly Dragons, Heavenly Dragon Rice! If there was a large supply of Heavenly Dragon Rice, then not only he could consolidate his foundation, he would have a chance to breakthrough to Sage realm or even higher realm! ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, I have already said, didn¡¯t you understand?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and added, ¡°Fine, then I will say it again. In simple words, I am inviting you to be the guardian elder of my Cloud Mist Sect, especially to guard Heavenly Dragon Rice. And hereafter, this unique Heavenly Dragon Tree will be yours. If you are tired, you will sleep under this Heavenly Dragon Tree, if you are hungry, you will eat Heavenly Dragon Rice. At that time, I will further give you two small demons to massage your shoulders and legs, how about that?¡± ¡°Brat, stop your nonsense! If you want this great archfiend Abasi to become the slave of your sect, then wake up from your vain dream! Now, I have decided, I will seize your body and refine your primordial spirit, then whip your spirit day and night!¡± Plague Archfiend flew into a rage and thoroughly went nuts. Then, he ferociously rushed towards Ye Chuan. After that, he suddenly opened his mouth big and inhaled. The entire log cabin under Ye Chuan was uprooted from the ground. Ye Chuan had already made a preparation, he suddenly soared and accelerated to leave as he coldly said, ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, it is not so easy to catch me, try harder.¡± Then, a heavy pressure suddenly emerged. The speed of Ye Chuan became faster and faster without being affected by this pressure, but Plague Archfiend felt as if his body was sinking. Shortly afterward, the air became moist and water droplets appeared under the branches and eaves, which dropped on the bright red scorching hot magma. Ye Chuan decisively activated Heavenly Sea Restriction. And at the same time, Sea Demon Patriarch began to make a move. Standing at the highest point of this Earth Dragon Village where he could hear gurgling sounds of huge sea waves, he looked up, then the river water of Earth Dragon River beside Earth Dragon Village suddenly rose become more than ten meters sea wave. Not good, again fell into his trap! Plague Archfiend gritted his teeth. He knew that he had again stepped into the trap of Ye Chuan. Although the power of this Heavenly Sea Restriction was not so terrifying compared to Eight Azure Dragons Formation, that sea wave however somewhat confused him. The thing he feared the most in his life was water. Water and Fire had mutually inhibiting effect, once he was submerged by sea water, it was equivalent to losing more than half of his strength! Chapter 382: Above the water screen Chapter 382: Above the water screen Roar, Plague Archfiend suddenly gathered his power and chased after Ye Chuan. He wanted to kill Ye Chuan to vent off his anger before that sea wave submerged this Earth Dragon Village. Every archfiend had the dignity of archfiend even if he was just a lower-class archfiend! The killing intent of Plague Archfiend who had fallen three times into the trap of Ye Chuan reached the highest limit and he used his maximum speed, streaking across the night sky. Ye Chuan turned back and looking at Plague Archfiend, he sneered, then spat out blood-red Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. Plague Archfiend paused and bowed down in preparation to pounce on because he had some misgivings towards this Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. Not mentioning how sharp it was, no one knew what kind of poison was smeared on it. Thus, he prepared to have a fierce battle with Ye Chuan. At that moment, the sword light flashed and Ye Chuan didn¡¯t fight, instead retreated, flying away, stepping on this Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. Crash, the sound of sea waves resounded, and the river water of Earth Dragon River began to flow over the bank. Now, the land around this small fishing village Earth Dragon Village was already submerged by river water to the ankle of average people. Plague Archfiend turned his head to look back, then hesitating slightly, he continued to chase Ye Chuan. He gritted his teeth and increased his speed. Now, he was a bit faster than Ye Chuan even when he was stepping on Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, almost catching up to Ye Chuan. Seeing this Zhu Sijia and others who were hiding in the dark became nervous and their heartbeat accelerated. Ye Chuan however remained calm. He suddenly flew up and turned around, waiting for Plague Archfiend to catch up, then changed his direction once again. Even after a long time, Plague Archfiend was still unable to catch up with Ye Chuan, but the sea waves were already rolling with a rumbling sound. In an extremely short period of time, there were waters all around this Earth Dragon Village, changing it into an isolated island. The water level of Earth Dragon River which directly led to the sea had already tripled compared to before. ¡°Brat, even if I cannot kill you now, this lordship will destroy your Cloud Mist Sect first!¡± Plague Archfiend gritted his teeth and suddenly turned around, giving up this chase. Then, he flew towards the main continent in the other direction. Now, the wide region that connected Earth Dragon Village and the main continent had already been submerged by the seawater, but the water level was not too deep, only about three meters, thus, at this moment, Plague Archfiend who had huge body could still forcibly cross this water. If he delayed more and the water depth reached five or six meters, then that would be troublesome. ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, do you think you can leave now?¡± The voice of Ye Chuan came from far away. Plague Archfiend who was on his fours, ready to jump out of this place suddenly felt great invisible pressure and his body sunk. He felt as if a big mountain was weighing on him and it was getting heavier and heavier. Looking up, he saw that the heaven and earth within the vicinity of ten li had become dusky. And a whitewater screen and dim light of night had interwoven together, decreasing the field of vision. All around, there was a water screen that blotted out the sky. It appeared as if more than three thousand meters tall waterfall was falling down from a hole in the sky, and the water level of Earth Dragon River rose at a faster speed. Heavenly Sea Restriction! Ye Chuan stepping on Dragon Slaying Flying Sword used a technique from far away to display the maximum might of this ancient restriction. Compared to Heaven Concealing Great Formation, Heavenly Sea Restriction didn¡¯t have many variations, couldn¡¯t even be considered a real killing formation, can only be considered a formation to trap an opponent. If State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng or White Haired Heavenly Empress was in his place, then this restriction was useless. They would have easily broken out of this encirclement. But it was different for this Plague Archfiend who was just happened to fear water. At this moment, this archfiend who had killed all around after escaping alive from Azure Dragon Prefecture involuntarily trembled. Bright red scorching hot magma began to extinguish after running into the water screen falling from the sky. With ill-matched attribute, even the most powerful technique would gradually lose its effect. The might of Heavenly Sea Restriction was astonishing, but, with the current Rank 3 Daoist Master realm cultivation base, Ye Chuan was far from being able to show its true might. The warriors of Sea Demon Clan were the crux for this restriction to display such might. Under the leadership of Sea Demon Patriarch, numerous Sea Demon warriors appeared in succession, and using their innate ability to summon wind and rain, they caused river water level to rise. Plague Archfiend innately feared water and didn¡¯t dare to touch water rashly, but the warriors of Sea Demon Clan were like a tiger that has grown wings in water. ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, last chance, kneel down and surrender, join my Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Ye Chuan loudly said, and stepping on the Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, he flew above Plague Archfiend and coldly looked down at this archfiend who considered himself the best in the world. With the addition of Heavenly Sea Restriction and Sea Demon Clan, the river water rapidly rose suddenly and sharply, then the situation thoroughly reversed. Roar! Plague Archfiend just roared, then suddenly jumped towards Ye Chuan in the sky, wanting to bite him. Even though he was surrounded by layer upon layer of water screen, Plague Archfiend didn¡¯t think about how to quickly break out of this encirclement, instead, he suddenly initiated a ferocious attack. Perhaps, he panicked as he didn¡¯t dare to go through water, or perhaps, he knew that he was unable to break out of this encirclement, so he decided to kill Ye Chuan first. Ye Chuan sneered. He stood still on Dragon Slaying Flying word and coldly looked at Plague Archfiend who was getting closer and closer. When the distance between them was only three meters or so, he suddenly used a technique and a fifty meters tall water wave suddenly shot down towards Plague Archfiend. Immediately, the huge body of Plague Archfiend was slammed down to the ground. ¡°Ah¡­¡­., brat, I will kill you!¡± Plague Archfiend wailed mournfully and after getting up, he jumped once again. This moment, he was even more ferocious. His body swelled and emitted scorching hot flame from all over his body. Now, he looked just like a burning meteor flying towards Ye Chuan in the sky. Outside Heavenly Sea Restriction, the complexion of Sea Demon Patriarch greatly changed. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a sparkling and crystal-clear pearl, then biting the tip of his tongue, he dripped a drop of essence blood on this pearl. Once again, more than 80 meters tall sea wave rose. Ye Chuan took advantage of this occasion and used his technique again, then this 80 meters tall sea wave collided against Plague Archfiend, and the latter was firmly slammed against the ground. Water Spirit Pearl! Sea Demon Patriarch no longer held anything back. He began to use the treasure of Sea Demon Clan. The innate skill of Sea Demon Clan, Sea Demon Song, was passed down only to female members, male members couldn¡¯t inherit this innate skill, in addition, only the royal bloodline could awaken this innate skill. Thus, even Sea Demon Patriarch also didn¡¯t have that unique skill of Hai Lili, but, in the aspect of summoning wind and rain, young Hai Lili could not compare to him. With 80 meters tall sea wave slamming against him, this time, Plague Archfiend was injured. Both his hind legs nearly fractured. Now, looking at the water screen all around him, he knew that it was hopeless to break out of this encirclement. He wailed hopelessly and jumped towards Ye Chuan again. Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t utter a word, just coldly used the technique once again. This time, a hundred meters tall sea wave suddenly appeared and ferociously slammed against Plague Archfiend. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were stunned, even Hai Lili was greatly surprised looking at her grandfather holding a Water Spirit Pearl. 100 meters tall sea wave was already the limit of her grandfather. Last time, she saw her grandfather so desperate was in the bloody battle against Blacksnake Clan about a dozen years ago. Every time, after the use of this technique, his vitality would be greatly damaged and it would take a long time to recover. For Heavenly Dragon Rice, was her grandfather truly risking her life? Hai Lili was weighed down with anxieties and began to worry about her grandfather who was desperately using this Water Spirit Pearl. Chapter 383: Don’t haggle with me Chapter 383: Don¡¯t haggle with me The sea tide that was over a hundred meters tall ferociously slammed Plague Archfiend to the ground again. This time, this archfiend was injured even more severely and vomited a mouthful of blood. Wailing mournfully, Plague Archfiend turned around and crawled up. But, he no longer dared to rush towards Ye Chuan, he turned around and rushed towards northern small land. Only this small piece of land of this Earth Dragon Village was not submerged in water, everywhere else was already submerged by water. Then, rushing towards the edge of the seawater, Plague Archfiend slightly hesitated, then, taking back a few steps, he charged forward and jumped. Even if the chance of breaking out of the encirclement was not big, Plague Archfiend was ready to risk everything to try jumping out of this water screen. Behind the water screen, a huge dragon quietly appeared, then ferociously collided head-on with Plague Archfiend who had jumped high. After Plague Archfiend was severely injured, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t make a move, he quietly stood on his Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. But, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect that were hiding in the dark came out in succession with Nan Tiandu at the lead. Dong, the huge body of Nan Tiandu disappeared again outside the water screen. As for Plague Archfiend, he fell to the ground again and his head was dripping with blood. Roar! A sad roar resounded. Plague Archfiend was unwilling to helplessly wait for death. He changed the direction and tried to break out of this encirclement again. Numerous vines suddenly appeared in the sky and entangled around the body of Plague Archfiend in the sky. Plague Archfiend who wanted to jump over this water screen was stopped in midair, then these vines ferociously threw him towards the ground. Plague Archfiend slammed against the ground again and his internal organs churned. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes also made a move and a strange laughter came from outside the water screen. Usually, no matter how many vines he used, when they came across Plague Archfiend, they would be burned to ashes by the flame around the body of Plague Archfiend or magma under his feet, but now, it was different. Under the suppression of Heavenly Sea Restriction and Sea Demon warriors, the biggest killing move of Plague Archfiend was already sealed. In addition, he was seriously injured, thus, his vines were able to damage him. After struggling for a good while, Plague Archfiend stood up and continued to try to break out of this encirclement. A squad of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples, stepping on flying sword, shuttled back and forth above the water curtain. They held Dragon headed Flying Crossbows and attacked Plague Archfiend to their heart¡¯s content, forcing the latter to fall back again and again. Usually, because of his doughty body, flying swords couldn¡¯t damage him, but now, Plague Archfiend was dripping with blood. Because his vitality was greatly damaged, his body became weaker and weaker and reached the state where he couldn¡¯t even withstand Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows. In the end, seeing it was impossible to jump out of this water screen, he gritted his teeth and rush straight into the water, trying to break this encirclement from underwater. Plague Archfiend who innately feared water unexpectedly dived into the water, naturally was forced to do so with no way out. As soon as he touched the water, he felt tingling pain as if he was being pricked by needles everywhere. But, Plague Archfiend still gritted his teeth and rushed forward. This courage was commendable, but it¡¯s too bad, soon, he suffered a head-on blow. Hai Lili leading many Sea Demon warriors attacked. Swimming just like a fish, they held sharp steel forks, spears or so on weapons to initiate a fierce attack. On the dry land, these Sea Demon Warriors would not be able to withstand a single blow of Plague Archfiend; but in water, it was opposite. Sea Demon Warriors¡¯ fighting capability vastly increased, but Plague Archfiend was not able to display even one-tenth of his strength. Not long after, he had no choice but to retreat. After the repetitive attempts, needless to mention his injuries aggravated, even his physical strength was exhausted. He fell to the ground and gasp for breath as he became weaker and weaker. Ye Chuan flew over, stepping on Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, and landed in front of Plague Archfiend. Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others followed behind him. Roar! Plague Archfiend roared and hatefully gnashed his teeth glaring at Ye Chuan. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t have the strength to even stand up. ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, don¡¯t waste your strength.¡± Ye Chuan boldly walked to the front of Plague Archfiend and indifferently said: ¡°Two choices, either submit to me or die.¡± A Half-Sage realm heaven-defying evil spirit, Ye Chuan still had some expectation. Using Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets to tame such a yao beast, the combat ability of yao beast legion would rise significantly. Even if State teacher Jiang Tunsheng came to attack again, he would have the power to fight! ¡°Hahaha, submit to you? Brat, you can kill me!¡± Plague Archfiend was so angry that he laughed and gnashed his teeth. He would rather die than submit. ¡°Pretty good, your bones are quite hard, but, do you think it is so easy to die. Rhodes, get to work, devour the flesh, blood and energy essence of this archfiend. After that, if you are still unable to break through to the Half-Sage realm, then you can also drop dead.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently instructed. ¡°Kakaka, thank you, Your Excellency.¡± The eyes of Old Demon of Mount Yin shone and thousands of vines danced chaotically in the air. Then, they coiled around Plague Archfiend and stabbed into his body wanting to devour the latter¡¯s flesh, blood and energy essence. ¡°Stop!¡± Plague Archfiend screamed. Finally, he felt fear and said in stern countenance, ¡°Brat, you dare?¡± ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, do you have any reason for me to not dare?¡± Ye Chuan sneered and said, ¡°Submit to me and not only will your life be spared, but you will also obtain great big benefits in the future. Continue to be stubborn and you will die, or do you want me to let you go to continue doing evil outside?¡± ¡°Every year, I need one thousand Heaven Dragon Rice grains.¡± Plague Archfiend thought for a moment and unwillingly purposed a condition. As an archfiend, he had to lower his head to Ye Chuan and submit to him, he was very unwilling. But, if he could obtain a large quantity of Heavenly Dragon Rice grains every year, he could console himself with that compensation. Ye Chuan sneered without saying a word. Plague Archfiend became all the more nervous and he yielded, ¡°Fine, one hundred every year, not one less.¡± One hundred Heavenly Dragon Rice grains was a little lacking, but that was also an unimaginable number in the world beyond the highest heaven. With one hundred Heavenly Dragon Rice grains every year, breaking through to Sage realm was right around the corner. Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t utter a word, he just coldly looked at Plague Archfiend. The latter stuttered and said, ¡°Then, every year¡­¡­, ten every year, this¡­¡­¡± ¡°Your Excellency Archfiend, carefully look at the current situation, do you have the qualification to bargain?¡± Ye Chuan looked at this Plague Archfiend and indifferently said, ¡°I am saying, you have two choices, either surrender or not surrender. Don¡¯t think that other people will care about you. As a matter of a fact, a Half-Sage realm expert is also not a big deal.¡± Plague Archfiend bargained because of his high cultivation base, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t care. Now, if he could tame a Half-Sage realm yao beast, then that naturally would be the best, but even if he couldn¡¯t tame, that was also fine. For Ye Chuan who used to be Heaven Concealing Great Sage that used to dominate the entire Wilderness World, Half-Sage realm experts were truly nothing. In his previous life, he had too many Sage realm experts. Ghost Hand Medicinal King, Blue Eyed Yao Empress¡­¡­, which one of these former followers were not top-notch Sage realm expert? ¡°Kakaka, it is best to not submit, Cloud Mist Sect doesn¡¯t lack you.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily and his eyes shone with pallid light. He was already very impatient to devour Plague Archfiend¡¯s flesh, blood and energy essence. After devouring the latter, he would definitely make a breakthrough to the Half-Sage realm, so how could he not be tempted? ¡°Fine, Abasi pays respect to Your Excellency.¡± Hearing the voice of Old Demon of Mount Yin, the heart of Plague Archfiend was in jitters. He immediately bowed and dispersed the defense of his mind. ¡°That¡¯s a good choice, hereafter, as long as your performance is sufficiently good, there will be no lack of good medicinal pills and Heavenly Dragon Rice grains.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, then silently using his technique, he dripped his essence blood into the space between the eyes of Plague Archfiend. Then, along with the flashing of cyan light, the huge body of Plague Archfiend disappeared as he was put into Cyan Lotus Lamp to recover. Chapter 384: Go to the sea Chapter 384: Go to the sea After resolving the big problem of Plague Archfiend, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The tide rapidly receded and this small fishing village, Earth Dragon Village, reverted back to normal. Now, a grey dawn could be seen on the horizon, welcoming the new day. After resting for a while, Ye Chuan invited Sea Demon Warriors in Cloud Mist Sect as the guest, and this large group of people quickly left this place. Just after arriving Cloud Mist Sect, white-bearded Sea Demon Patriarch couldn¡¯t wait to see Heavenly Dragon Tree despite being exhausted. Ye Chuan smiled and personally led him to the side of Evil Dragon Abyss. And seeing the Heavenly Dragon Tree that was full of vitality with luxuriant branches and leaves, this old man was endlessly excited and continuously walked around this Heavenly Dragon Tree. ¡°Heavenly Dragon Tree, truly is the legendary Heavenly Dragon Tree, now, our Sea Demon Clan has the hope of revival!¡± The old man muttered and his eyes were brimming with tears. He had never thought that the task which all the previous patriarchs couldn¡¯t accomplish was accomplished in his generation. Perhaps, even if they had broken their head, no one had thought that the seed of heavenly Dragon Rice that was passed down from generation to generation could not be planted in overseas islands, rather should be planted in the land of the mainland. This wide and vast land of the mainland was truly the land where dragons prospered! ¡°Patriarch, if you like, then you can stay here. Next year, when this Heavenly Dragon Tree bear Heavenly Dragon Rice, you can take any number you want.¡± Ye Chuan smiled at this old man who was reluctant to part with this tree. The eyes of this old man shone, ¡°Noble son Ye, truly?¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s true, originally, the seed of Heavenly Dragon Rice belonged to your Sea Demon Clan. And this time, I was able to subdue Plague Archfiend Abasi because of your great help, so it is nothing to gift you the harvest of one year. In the future, even if my Cloud Mist Sect has many disciples, a section of harvested Heavenly Dragon Rice will belong to your Sea Demon Clan.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t hesitate to reward his subordinates and the people who helped him. Then, looking at Hai Lili behind this old man, he added, ¡°Patriarch, you can rest assured, my Could Mist Sect cannot be considered as very big, but it has enough place for your Sea Demon Clan to settle down. Let alone more than one thousand people, we can accommodate even more than ten thousand people.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid to recruit Sea Demon Clan. In this battle at Earth Dragon Village, Sea Demon Clan had displayed powerful combat ability. Although there were not many of them, each one of them was elite and rare new force. After repelling 200,000 strong soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty, now it was time to recruit experts of the world. Nobles and all other large sects were accumulating strength in secret, waiting for the arrival of great changes. And for Cloud Mist Sect with long inheritance, there was no reason to not take advantage of this situation to develop and grow. ¡°The environment of this place is very good, worldly spiritual qi is also dense, unfortunately, this place is far away from the sea and there is no river nearby.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch shook his head with some regret. Sea Demon Patriarch understood the meaning of Ye Chuan. In the sea, they were rejected and suppressed by various big forces, so Sea Demon Clan was also in need of strong allay, and Ye Chuan and his Cloud Mist Sect was a very good choice. However, although Cloud Mist Mountain Range was near the sea, Cloud Mist Sect was still some hundred li away from the sea, and it was somewhat inconvenient for Sea Demon Clan who lived in water throughout the year. ¡°That is easy to handle, the distance is not a problem, and since there is no river, we can just dig one.¡± Ye Chuan said. Several hundred li was not that far, digging a big canal couldn¡¯t be considered as a big project. For cultivators, even relocating mountains was too common, especially to establish the sect, sometimes, a spirit mountain would be moved over from hundreds of millions of li away. In those years, when establishing Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan had used his great technique to move mountains. Although he had started cultivating from the scratch in this life and he was far from being as strong as he was in his previous life, digging a big canal didn¡¯t pose any problem. Cloud Mist Mountain Range was the source of many big rivers, changing the course of the river, they can make a river flow through Cloud Mist Sect to the sea. If there was insufficient manpower in Cloud Mist Sect, then Azure Dragon Lady would definitely lend the hand. ¡°Noble son Ye, is that true?¡± Sea demon Patriarch was surprised. Ye Chuan was young in age and was Big Disciple of the sect in name, but his boldness, perhaps, many Sect Masters couldn¡¯t hold a candle to him in this aspect. Digging a several hundred li big canal, how many people would dare to think so? ¡°Patriarch, it is just digging a canal, not like moving a mountain from the world beyond the highest heaven. Cloud Mist Sect can do this. Moreover, since chaos is right around the corner, it is also the time to rearrange the line of defense of our sect in advance. Thus, taking advantage of this occasion, it is better to substantially renovate the sect.¡± Ye Chuan looked at the distant mountain range, making up his mind to substantially renovate Cloud Mist Sect. The main way to gather worldly spiritual qi of Cloud Mist Sect was still relying on the Medicinal Spirit Formation he had laid millions of years ago. For ordinary people, the worldly spiritual qi within the sect was dense, but it was not enough to cultivate top-notch experts. ¡°Okay, when the big canal is dug out and your Cloud Mist Sect is renovated, I will build an underwater castle here for my clansman to cultivate and reside.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch agreed and added, ¡°But, before that, we still need to return to our Holy Land, Lost City, and take the legendary treasure that can control all sea, Neptune Horn. On the way, we have to pass through the territory of many big forces, so with just the strength of our Sea Demon Clan, it is hard to ensure the safety of Neptune Horn. Noble son Ye, can you¡­¡­¡± ¡°How long does it take?¡± Ye Chuan asked, understanding the meaning of Sea Demon Patriarch. ¡°A round trip, roughly¡­¡­, six months.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch replied. ¡°Okay, then I will take this trip with you and see what kind of place the Holy Land of your Sea Demon Clan is.¡± Ye Chuan nodded and agreed. Now that the threat of both Da Qin Dynasty and Heavenly Yao Sect had passed for the time being, in addition, Plague Archfiend was also subdued, Cloud Mist Sect had no major threat at the moment, so there was no problem to accompany Sea Demon Patriarch. In addition, he was interested to see the Holy Land of Sea Demon Clan, Lost City. Every ancient race had a unique ethnic Holy Land that contained the origin of their race. Refining even a bit of this kind of origin energy was a very rare opportunity for any cultivator, so every race conceal their Holy Land, moreover, lay down layer upon layer of traps and restrictions. Over time, the Holy Land of some races that had gone extinct become an ominous ground. In his previous life, Ye Chuan had entered many such ominous grounds, for instance, Holy Land of Poison Dragon Clan, Poison Dragon Territory, Witch Quarter of Falcon Witch and so on. Every one of them was dangerous and unfathomable. Even with the strength of Ye Chuan in his previous life, he had narrowly escaped many times, but the harvest was also amazing. Only after experiencing many such ominous grounds, he gradually became Heaven Concealing Great Sage that dominated the entire Wilderness World. ¡°Noble son is truly frank, how about we set out today to return as soon as possible?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch seemed very impatient. As for Hai Lili, she looked at her grandfather with some doubts. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but after hesitating for a while, she said nothing. ¡°Okay, let me make the arrangement, we will leave today.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. He didn¡¯t refuge and began to be busy in preparation. Chapter 385: , Chapter 385: Sea Dragon Boat Man Huang Feng Bao, Chapter 385: Sea Dragon Boat Sea Demon Patriarch was occupied with preparing the materials, foods, weaponry and even common porcelains in large quantities to go to the sea. He was extremely busy. As for Ye Chuan, it was very easier. He only needed to arrange some personal items and explain some matters that needed attention to others. But, when arranging his personal items, he encountered a mishap. Great Elder Zhu Guohong had yet to return and there was still no news from Horned Demon Na Gusi who had sneaked into the capital in disguise. Second Elder Nangong Ren no longer paid any attention to the affairs of the world. So, he had originally thought that Zhu Sijia would handle all the matters when he was absent, but for an unknown reason, this little girl was determined to go to the sea with him this time. Ye Chuan failed to persuade her and was forced to ask Nan Tiandu to stay behind. The cultivation and calmness of Nan Tiandu were enough to guard and take charge of the sect. This time, his task wasn¡¯t light. First, he had to ensure the safety of the sect and rigorously enforce the requirements of the sect¡¯s disciples; Second, Ye Chuan wanted him to begin renovating the sect. Among them, the important task was to dig a big canal which passed through Cloud Mist Sect to the seas. The instructions of Ye Chuan, Nan Tiandu engraved them in his mind and implemented immediately. His arrangement was even slightly better than that of Zhu Sijia. No matter what he did, he was always sober-minded with cold and indifferent expression. He didn¡¯t talk much, but every sentence had a clear meaning, and not a single disciple dared to defy him. After examining all around the sect and affirming there was no error, Ye Chuan relaxed. At noon, the entire group of people was ready to set out. At the coast, a huge boat was already waiting for them for a long time. This boat was very big, but it was clearly different from the boat often seen in the mainland. The entire body of this boat appeared flat, looking just like a leaf floating on the water. Its hull was also made with the unknown material, it neither looked like wood nor iron. It was smooth and flexible, but ordinary swords couldn¡¯t stab through it. In addition, this boat was elastic like skin and it appeared as if it would be fine even if it collided against the rock. There was no sail on the boat, it seemed to use an ancient restriction to sail. After the weighted anchor was lifted, in a few breaths of time, it accelerated to a very high speed faster than a horse that covered a thousand li a day from the static state. The mainland was quickly left far behind. Even an ordinary bird couldn¡¯t catch up to this boat. Ye Chuan was somewhat curious. Standing on the deck, he carefully sized up this uncommon warship. In his previous life when he concealed the heaven, he had not cared much about the overseas world. He had always wanted to explore the ends of the seas, but he didn¡¯t get the chance. Unexpectedly, he however got this kind of chance in this life. ¡°This is Sea Dragon Boat, is the unique masterpiece of our Sea Demon Clan. It is made using the skeleton of Sea Dragon and is covered with tough, tensile and smooth dragon skin. In addition, a unique spirit gathering formation and wind driving formation are engraved on the board. Thus, this boat can move quickly even though there is no wind. Boarding this boat, we don¡¯t need to fear storms and tidal waves, moreover, it can still become invisible like a piece of leaf on the sea surface and average person wouldn¡¯t be able to see from the distance. Ever since ancient times, it is the most amazing boat of overseas.¡± Hai Lili walked behind Ye Chuan and combing her hair which was being blown by the wind, she added, ¡°In our golden age, our Sea Demon Clan had 103 such sea dragon boats, unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of them were sunk by people or disappeared together with our clansmen. Now, only this one boat is left in our clan.¡± Hai Lili explained the characteristics and history of this sea dragon boat and her complexion suddenly became downcast. During her childhood, i.e., more than ten years ago, Sea Demon Clan still had a dozen or so sea dragon boats, now they however had only one left. Although the method to repair and forge sea dragon boat was still passed down within the clan, their strength was not sufficient to kill a powerful sea dragon, so it was useless to know the method. They were forced to abandon the damaged sea dragon boats, or even destroy and sunk it in fear of them falling into the hands of enemies. ¡°Sea dragon boat, good, what a good sea dragon boat. Hai Lili, if enough sea dragons are captured, can your clan built large numbers of such warships?¡± Ye Chuan asked as he suddenly had an idea. Once a big canal joining the sea is built within Cloud Mist Sect, then Cloud Mist Sect would not only have more lines of defense, its strategic positions would also be completely different. In the future, he can form an elite navy, and Cloud Mist Sect would be able to move back and forth in the sea. In addition, going along the river, they could make a long-range attack and could also retreat to the vast sea without the fear of any threat. ¡°In theory, there is no problem, but¡­¡­¡± Hai Lili shook her head and said, ¡°Now, there are fewer and fewer craftsmen that can build sea dragon boats, and even more importantly, the number of sea dragon has also gotten fewer and fewer because of excessive hunting. And the remaining sea dragons simply stay together in a group, and it is basically impossible to hunt them when they are together.¡± ¡°That is actually quite good, if we succeed, we might get a large number of them. Perhaps, we can build over one hundred sea dragon boats at once.¡± Ye Chuan smiled. Needlessly to say, the power of Sea Demon Clan had declined, so they couldn¡¯t capture sea dragons didn¡¯t represent other people also couldn¡¯t. As long as one knew how to build sea dragon boats and know where sea dragons appear the most, everything would be easy to handle. The weather of the sea changed fast. Just a moment ago, it was still calm and tranquil with vast clear skies, but suddenly, the sky became dark and strong wind blew, causing sea waves. However, the speed of this sea dragon boat didn¡¯t decrease, rather increased, flying on the surface of the sea. In addition, this boat directly pierced through the sea waves, continuing to sail through the sea. The sea waves were also getting bigger and bigger, and seeing this, even Hai Lili who had grown up in seas from childhood felt somewhat uneasy, so fearing she would be tossed out of this warship due to the violent shaking, she hastily returned to her cabin. As for Ye Chuan, he however continued to stand at the deck. His legs were nailed securely on the deck as if a wooden stake, and he spread out his arms as if he was hugging the sea waves. The sea waves collided against his body, but he didn¡¯t fear, rather felt carefree and his fighting spirit soared. The flowing water shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body also rotated rapidly and strengthened. One needed painstaking cultivation and also good luck to condense every Heaven Swallowing Talisman. After condensing one, to strengthen it, one also needed a lucky chance. After taming Sea Demoness Hai Lili, he had condensed a flowing water shaped talisman. After that, there had been no improvement in it. As a result, it was far weaker than Demonic Dragon Talisman and Iron Blooded Banner Talisman, but at this moment, it finally seethed with excitement. This vast sea, furthermore, those head-on collisions with sea waves finally awakened this talisman of Ye Chuan. On this dangerous deck, in the midst of the bombardment of sea waves, Ye Chuan cultivated. Cultivation was not limited by a place and it also didn¡¯t have the time limit. What was more important was an opportunity. Sometimes, luckily reaching the epiphany could be far better than the seclusion cultivation of hundred years. The ancients thought highly of going out to experience for this reason. One needed to be flexible in cultivation, instead of cultivating in one place, experiencing various dangerous situations, one¡¯s cultivation would soar rapidly. In the battle against State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, Ye Chuan benefited a lot and his desire for strength became even stronger. In addition, along with the growth of his cultivation, his Cloud Mist Sect would also slowly become one of the major power. Like that, even if he didn¡¯t go to look for those opponents of former life who trapped him in God Burial Valley, the other party would inevitably come to look for him. Perhaps, they might have already noticed him. Now, he didn¡¯t have much time, so even if he couldn¡¯t quickly breakthrough to Sage realm, he should at least reach Half-Sage realm as soon as possible, like that, he could truly display a section of the power of his previous life! In the previous life, I only concealed heaven, in this life, I want to swallow the heaven! A more than a ten meters tall sea wave collided against Ye Chuan and completely drenched him, but the fire within his body was burning hot. He suddenly raised his head and roared as he emitted the energy fluctuation within his body. He longed to condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman and thirst for even more power. Chapter 386: Man Huang Feng Bao, Chapter 387: Blacksnake Archfiend The wind was fierce and the rain was also heavy, in addition, more than 100 meters tall sea waves were rising one after another. After colliding with this hundred meters tall sea wave, Ye Chuan stepping on the water and quickly saved this woman in red. Sure enough, this woman in red was holding a little boy who was less than five years old in her bosom. Both of them looked pale and were extremely weak. The woman in red was still breathing, but the little boy had already lost his consciousness. ¡°Jiajia, Peiyuan Pill!¡± Ye Chuan shouted and quickly pressed the back of this woman with his hands to help her circulate the blood. And someone brought the fire pan from inside their cabin to warm these two people. Zhu Sijia also quickly took out a Pei Yuan Pill which she had refined personally, then fed it to this woman in red along with water. Peiyuan Pill could solidify one¡¯s foundation and could also consolidate the cultivation base increasing the cultivating speed, in addition, it could also save the life at the critical moment. The injuries of this blood-stained woman weren¡¯t light, but they were not fatal. Weakness and exhaustion were the main reasons for her to collapse. It was unknown for how long they had drifted in this vast sea. And after swallowing this Peiyuan Pill, she began to recover. ¡°Please¡­¡­, please save my son, I beg you, save¡­¡­¡± The woman in red slowly wake up and immediately begged everyone to save her son with tears streaming down her cheeks. Zhu Sijia carefully looked at the little boy lying on the cabin, then helplessly shook her head. Compared to this woman in red, the injuries of this little boy was even more serious, Someone had ruthlessly hit him in his chest breaking his ribs, after that, he had swallowed a lot of seawater while drifting in the sea for a long time. He had already overdrawn his life and reached the hopeless situation. ¡°No¡­¡­, Jiajia, my son¡­¡­¡± The woman in red struggled to get up. Although she was already in a very weak state, she suddenly obtained strength from who knows where and quickly crawled up to the side of this little boy. Then, holding her son, she cried bitterly. Her vitality was tenacious and the energy fluctuation within her body was also powerful, clearly was also a peak Daoist Master realm expert, merely, it was unknown what had happened for her to end up like this. Everyone felt sad for her. After crying for a while, this woman in red quickly used a mysterious technique on her son, wanting to transfer her own vitality into this little boy. Unfortunately, she was truly weak at this moment, although her cultivation was outstanding, because her vitality had already suffered a heavy damage, she was even unable to protect herself, how could she have the surplus energy to save another person? ¡°Senior, I beseech you to save Jiajia, please save my son!¡± After trying for a while, the woman woke up to reality. Then, she fell to her kneeled in front of Sea Demon Patriarch and begged the latter. Sea Demon Patriarch shook his head as even though he was willing to help, he was unable to do so. ¡°Miss, please save my son, please help me.¡± This woman in red kneeled in front of Zhu Sijia with tears streaming down her cheeks. ¡°It is not that I don¡¯t want to help you, I truly¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia also shook her head. The condition of this little boy was too serious. Even if she fed all the remaining Peiyuan pills, it would be useless. Zhu Sijia shook her head and tears couldn¡¯t help streaming down her cheeks, then turning to see Ye Chuan, she said, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, don¡¯t you have a way?¡± ¡°Noble son saved me, save my son.¡± This woman in red turned around and knelt in front of Ye Chuan. Listening to the words of Zhu Sijia, as if she caught the final straw, she knelt in front of Ye Chuan and hopefully looked at him. Just a moment ago, even though she had also lost her consciousness, she vaguely knew that this young man had saved her in this rainstorm. Now, she was certain that this youth Ye Chuan was her savior without a doubt. Ye Chuan squatted down and opened the eyelids of this little boy with his fingers. And after carefully looking for a while, he sighed without speaking. ¡°Noble son, I beg you, save Jiajia. In the future, I, Chu Hongniang and Bai Rulong, this husband and wife will definitely thank you, we will never forget this great kindness of noble son throughout our life.¡± Tears gushed out from the eyes of this woman in red. If she could, then she would rather use her life to exchange for her son¡¯s life. ¡°What? You¡­¡­, you are Chu Hongniang? That Chu Hongniang known as Redline Lady of North Sea?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch exclaimed. Overseas had ancient sects with long inheritance and also many loose cultivators. South Sea was no exception, and Redline Lady Chu Hongniang was one of the outstanding people there. Allegedly, Redline Lady never used any kind of sword, rather used just an extremely common red string to cut off the throat of innumerable devils. Her cultivation base was heaven-defying, had already reached the peak of Daoist Master realm. In South Sea, she was one of the legendary experts. As for her husband Bai Rulong, he was even more amazing. According to the rumors, he was the reincarnation of a white dragon. He was simply an unmatched existence in this vast sea. His cultivation was unfathomable, and according to the rumors, he had already stepped into Half-Sage realm. Thus, he was known as White Dragon Sage. This pair of husband and wife had carefreely roamed around this vast sea for many years, and in the eyes of common people, they were a couple of celestial beings. When did such a couple of celestial beings have a child? Moreover, what kind of mishap did they suffer to end up like this? Sea Demon warriors turned pale with fright and watched this woman in red Chu Hongniang in fear. If it was an average person, then he/she might have ended up like this because they had fallen into the water because of the unexpected and sudden storm, but that was absolutely impossible for Chu Hongniang and Bai Rulong. Even if the storm was ten times more powerful, it would not pose any problem to this couple. ¡°Yes, I am Redline Lady Chu Hongniang. We gave birth to a twin of mixed-sex while freely wandering around four seas. But, just a few days ago, in the inn of South Sea¡¯s Cyan Sand Island, we met the experts of Blacksnake Clan. They took advantage of the time when us two, husband and wife, was out to actually kidnap our children!¡± The woman in red Chu Hongniang gnashed her teeth and added ferociously, ¡°After sensing our children were in danger, we quickly chased after them, but we suffered the ambush of a large number of Blacksnake clan¡¯s experts. In the end, although we were able to take back our son Jiajia, our daughter however was successfully kidnapped away from us.¡± Blacksnake Clan? Ye Chuan paused, then looking at Hai Lili, he recalled those overseas strange people he had encountered in underground Ghost Market, and he also recalled that sour-faced Dark Wood Monarch. ¡°That means, White Dragon Sage is in pursuit of the people of Blacksnake Clan?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch asked and shook his head, ¡°No, wrong, Blacksnake Clan has always been in East Sea, when did their grasp extend to South Sea?¡± ¡°It is said that Blacksnake Clan is collecting 8000 virgin boys and virgin girls to hold a grand sacrifice so as to summon their Blacksnake Deity. They had already looted many native tribes of South Sea, but I had never expected that they would actually dare to make a move against us husband and wife. Damn Blacksnake Clan! I, Chu Hongniang will eradicate their evil clan as long as I have one breath remaining!¡± Redline Lady Chu Hongniang gnashed her teeth and said. That evening, this husband and wife happened to have gone out to kill a yao beast that had the lifespan of a million years. Thus, both of them were exhausted and injured. Otherwise, how could the people of this Blacksnake Clan succeed? Redline Lady Chu Hongniang hated that damned Blacksnake Clan and also hated herself. She hated herself and her husband White Dragon Sage for being too careless. They just used a simple restriction to guard their two young children. The result, they happened to encounter the devils of Blacksnake Clan and this happened. If they were at their children¡¯s side or if they hadn¡¯t gone together to kill that evil spirit, then how could this have occurred to them? Chapter 387: Blacksnake Archfiend Chapter 387: Blacksnake Archfiend The wind was fierce and the rain was also heavy, in addition, more than 100 meters tall sea waves were rising one after another. After colliding with this hundred meters tall sea wave, Ye Chuan stepping on the water and quickly saved this woman in red.

Chapter 388: Icebound Technique Chapter 388: Icebound Technique ¡°Noble son, I beg you, please save my son. Jiajia is only five years old, I beg you¡­¡­¡± Redline Lady Chu Hongniang kneeled in front of Ye Chuan and wailed bitterly. Her cultivation was very high, merely her vitality was so damaged that it was already difficult to protect herself, so she could only beg Ye Chuan to help. At first glance, the cultivation base of Ye Chuan was very ordinary, only was Rank 3 Daoist Master realm. Not to mention other places, even in this cabin alone, there were several people whose cultivation base was higher than him. But, the instinct of Chu Hongniang said that Ye Chuan can definitely save her son. In the midst of that violent rainstorm, Ye Chuan was the first person to jump down the sea and save her and her son. He must definitely have a way to save her son Jiajia. ¡°I can save him, but¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°But, I can save his life only for the time being, but to thoroughly wake him up, he needs some worldly treasures.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine, noble son, please help.¡± Redline Lady Chu Hongniang nodded her head. Everything else comes after her son was saved. Ye Chuan sat down cross-legged, and circulating his Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, he slowly injected his vitality into the body of this little boy. Ye Chuan was very careful. Slowly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The little boy was seriously injured, so he had to be very careful when injecting his vitality into his body. In addition, he needed to use his life essence to protect the frail heart of this little boy. The slightest bit of carelessness in this entire process could deteriorate the current situation of this little boy and the consequences would be fatal. The complexion of this little boy was still pale, but his heart slowly began to beat and he also began to breathe. Gradually, profound talismans having the shape of a dragon, flowing water and banner and so on appeared around the little boy. Counting them, all together, there were eight different talismans. Sea Demon warriors and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect quietly watched every move of Ye Chuan. They didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily in fear that they would disturb the latter. And watching Ye Chuan, the eyes of Sea Demon Patriarch became all the more brighter. Plague Archfiend Abasi was also the same. Originally, he had thought that Ye Chuan was like him, a ruthless person, and the higher his cultivation base reached, the more ruthless he would become. But, seeing this scene now, it seemed that he was wrong. For his enemies, Ye Chuan was incomparably ruthless, his cold eyes wouldn¡¯t have even a shred of emotion, but for the people at his side, the weak and common people, he was compassionate. What shocked Plague Archfiend Abasi even more was the life-saving skill of Ye Chuan. Injecting one¡¯s vitality into the body of this little boy to save him, perhaps, many people could do so, but being as meticulous as Ye Chuan and using his life essence to protect the heart of this little boy, that was not simple. One needed rich experience and high skill. Even Plague Archfiend himself would have a hard time to accomplish this. How old was Ye Chuan? In such a young age, how did he obtain this skill and experience? Plague Archfiend Abasi stared at Ye Chuan becoming even more confused, and he also admired him even more now. He understood that Ye Chuan was not simple. Fu! Ye Chuan exhaled a mouthful of chaotic qi. He didn¡¯t hesitate to expend a large amount of vitality and used eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body to save this little boy. This was equivalent to leaving behind the seeds of eight talismans within the body of this little boy. In the future, when this little boy grew up, his fortune will not be shallow. After finishing this task, Ye Chuan was very tired, still, his next move suddenly shocked everyone. He used Icebound Technique to freeze this little boy, stopping his time, then said to that woman in red, ¡°Madam, the injury of your son is truly too serious. I can only do this much. First, I froze him to prevent his injuries from getting worse, in the future, when you found all the necessary worldly treasures, you can refine them into a pill to wake him up.¡± Ye Chuan slowly stood up. In this brief period of time, his robe was already drenched with sweat. ¡°Thank you, noble son.¡± This Redline Lady Chu Hongniang was somewhat disappointed, but there was still a glimmer of hope and she couldn¡¯t thank Ye Chuan enough, ¡°Noble son, what kind of worldly treasures are needed?¡± ¡°Heavenly Dragon Rice, Dragon Tongue Orchid, Lightning Strike Horseback Cloth and Heavenly Lightning Root. These four things are absolutely necessary.¡± Ye Chuan replied. Redline Lady Chu Hongniang immediately became dejected. What kind of thing was Heavenly Dragon Rice? That however was the food of legendary ancient Heavenly Dragons. In addition, it had already gone extinct in this Wilderness World, where could she find it? The same was true for Dragon Tongue Orchid and Heavenly Lightning Root, they were the things of the legend, no one had seen them. As for Lightning Strike Horseback Cloth, she had never even heard of it. Chu Hongniang who had just seen a glimmer of hope despaired again. Could it be that she would have to let her son Jiajia be frozen forever? ¡°Heavenly Dragon Rice, I have it here, Madam, be at ease.¡± Ye Chuan knew what Chu Hongniang was thinking at this moment. He took out several Heavenly Dragon Rice from his Cyan Lotus Lamp and placed them on the hands of Chu Hongniang. ¡°These are Heavenly Dragon Rice, although they are not matured, they are sufficient to use to save a person. Madam, take them. As for Dragon Tongue Orchid and Heavenly Lightning Root, if I remember correctly, then they happen to grow here in the overseas world. Walk around and ask more, perhaps, you will learn where they are or encounter them?¡± ¡°Thank you, noble son!¡± Chu Hongniang who had already stood up knelt down again with her eyes full of tears. She was filled with gratitude towards Ye Chuan. Then, raising her head, she asked, ¡°Noble son, then what about Lightning Strike Horseback Cloth? What is this? Where can I find it?¡± With the legendary Heavenly Dragon Rice in her hand, the hope and confidence of Chu Hongniang were greatly boosted. Even Heavenly Dragon Rice that had been extinct a long time ago was in her hand now, how could she not find other worldly treasures? ¡°Strictly speaking, Lightning Strike Horseback Cloth is not some kind of worldly treasure, rather¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan bent over and whispered something in the ears of Chu Hongniang, then the beautiful face of the latter turned bright red to the roots of her ears. ¡°Madam, the wind is strong outside, you can stay in the room.¡± Ye Chuan said, then turned around and walked towards the secret room in the inner area of this boat. After using his vitality to save this little boy, he was already exhausted, and he wanted to meditate to restore his energy as soon as possible. ¡°Many thanks, noble son.¡± Behind, Chu Hongniang bowed again, then carried her son and walked to the cabin at one corner. Then, she took out many crystal stones from inside her space ring and began to make a coffin for her son in person. Although the life of her son Jiajia was not in mortal danger for the time being, she needed to find several worldly treasures to truly wake him up. Next, she needed to wander all around the sea to look for the things Ye Chuan had mentioned. But, before everything else, she needed to make a coffin for her son to protect him. In addition, she needed to visit Blacksnake Clan of East Sea. Her husband Bai Rulong was in pursuit of the devils of Blacksnake Clan to look for their daughter. It was not clear whether he was dead or alive. But, before she wandered around the seas to look for those worldly treasures, she needed to first look for her husband and daughter. ¡°Madam, let me help you.¡± Zhu Sijia walked in and helped Chu Hongniang melt those crystal stones and then join them together to make a translucent crystal stone board. ¡°Thank you, Miss, you and noble son Ye are truly a pair made in heaven, compared to us, husband and wife, you are a lot more fortunate. Good people really have good fortune!¡± Chu Hongniang was very grateful. It was fortunate for her to meet Ye Chuan and his group. ¡°As if, Ye Chuan, he¡­¡­, he is only my Big Senior Apprentice Brother, who is his wife? I definitely don¡¯t want¡­¡­¡± The beautiful face of Zhu Sijia became bright red, but her eyes were shining in happiness. ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Chu Hongniang smiled and said nothing. She just busied herself. Chapter 389: Cyan Sand Island Chapter 389: Cyan Sand Island The violent rainstorm finally passed and the sea dragon boat continued to sail forward. Three days later, it docked on an island. This was an island with verdant and luxuriant trees. Although it was not very big, it was very famous for the freshwater lake, Cyan Sand Lake. In addition, this island just happened to be the stop point for many merchant ships. Standing on the deck and looking around, one could see many merchant ships coming from all over. Although it was dangerous to go to the sea, because of the high profit, that still attracts a lot of people to take a dangerous risk. Sea dragon boat didn¡¯t enter the dock. Under the command of Sea Demon Patriarch, they stopped at the other side of this Cyan Sand Island. The sea dragon boat had peculiar shape, so the people who drifted around the sea knew that this was the symbol of Sea Demon Clan. It was not good to be discovered and the slightest bit of carelessness could give rise to the rain of blood. Ye Chuan walked out of the secret room and along with Old Demon of Mount Yin and Little Long¡¯er, he took a stroll around this island, gathering the news in passing. As for Zhu Sijia, she led the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect to replenish the fresh water, foods and other necessities. And in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, only the people of Cloud Mist Sect disembark, all the people of Sea Demon Clan stayed onboard to stand guard. This small Cyan Sand Island had unique and exquisite pubs, had all kinds of shops, and also Adventurers Alliance that could be found all over the mainland. The group of three entered the Adventurer Alliance first. And a huge crystal screen appeared in front of these three people first. It displayed various kinds of uncompleted tasks. In the hall, there were not many people, but they were gathered in twos and threes. Seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s group enter, everyone turned to look for a bit, then continued to talk with each other. Everything was as usual, no-one found this strange. In order to not attract the attention, Ye Chuan¡¯s group had already disguised themselves before disembarking. All three were wearing a black robe with a long sword hanging on their waist and big bamboo hat on their head. They were dressed up as frequently seen adventurers. Although some people talked about how it was rare to see Little Long¡¯er like young adventurers, it was nothing troublesome. In this sea, everyone was trying to make a living. No one was willing to easily get into a conflict with others. All kept their nose out of other people¡¯s affairs and played safe. Ye Chuan stood in front of this crystal screen and watched the news displayed on it. Without paying any attention, he was listening to the discussion of other people. ¡°Hey, old brother, the evil spirit of Cyan Sand Lake, Old Monster of Cyan Sand, was killed, do you know?¡± In the northwest corner of the hall, a sloppy middle-aged man asked the big bearded man at his side. ¡°This news has already spread around, Old Three, you only know now? Did you drink till drunk and left the inn just now?¡± The big bearded man shook his head and then drank a big mouth of wine from the bottle, then he added, ¡°Kill then kill, but, they unexpectedly even left behind the neidan of Old Monster of Cyan Sand, it however is 80,000 years-old neidan. Tsk tsk, I wonder which heaven-defying expert killed it. Such a good neidan didn¡¯t even enter their eyes, instead, drunk One-eyed Li who had slept on the beach woke up and actually obtained it without any effort, truly is a meat pie falling from the sky. I am so envious.¡± ¡°One-eyed Li, that old fellow had bad luck throughout his life, finally he had a good luck.¡± The middle-aged man said. He was also envious. Then, he lowered his voice and said, ¡°I heard someone on the island saw Redline Lady Chu Hongniang and White Dragon Sage. Could it be that that Old Monster of Cyan Sand Lake was killed by that husband and wife pair? Moreover, according to the rumor, the experts of Blacksnake Clan have also come to Cyan Sand Island. They are kidnapping children below the age of nine, wanting to gather 8000 virgin boys and virgin girls. Even the twins of mixed-sex of White Dragon Sage and Chu Hongniang were kidnapped by them, is that true?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but, someone has seen the special blacksnake warship of Blacksnake Clan with a lot of crying children. This goddamned group, Blacksnake Clan is truly getting more and more daring and shameless. The entire clan is abnormal from top to bottom. Their males are beasts and females are **!¡± The big bearded man cursed and again drank a mouthful of wine. ¡°Hey, lower your voice, don¡¯t let other people hear, perhaps, the people of Blacksnake Clan are still on the island. By the way, Treasure Gathering House is auctioning the neidan of that Old Monster of Cyan Sand, do you want to go and see it?¡± ¡°Go, naturally want to go!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. The middle-aged man and big bearded man lowered their voice. But, although they thought that no one could hear them, Ye Chuan clearly heard their conversation. ¡°Heh heh, Blacksnake Clan?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin sneered and whispered in the ear of Ye Chuan, ¡°Your Excellency, how about we change the route to East Sea and completely annihilate them?¡± Since they encountered Redline Lady Chu Hongniang, it had already been a few days. And now, he was already sympathetic towards this female expert. In the past, this Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes also used to be a devil, but towards these people who were aiming at these children under the age of nine, he didn¡¯t have any shred of sympathy. ¡°It is important to hurry on with our journey.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently rejected and then walking over to the counter, he said to a female attendant, ¡°I want to issue a task.¡± ¡°Please speak.¡± The female attendant took out a paper and pen. Old Demon of Mount Yin and Little Long¡¯er followed after him and seeing the current action of Ye Chuan, they were confused. They wondered what kind of task Ye Chuan wanted to issue. ¡°Help me look for a person, she is a young woman called Tuoba Xiaoniao. She is tall and slim. She has an oval face and pointed chin. Her eyes are very big, and she has long black hair. In addition, she also has a big and tall middle-aged man beside her. This middle-aged man likes to use a big cauldron as a weapon and his cultivation is outstanding with astonishing strength.¡± Ye Chuan wrote and drew the portrait of Tuoba Xiaoniao, then offered a reward in Adventurer Alliance to find her whereabouts. This time, the objectives of going out to the sea were, one was to help Sea Demon Patriarch escort a treasure as the repayment for the latter helping in the subduing of Plague Archfiend; the other was to make the use of this opportunity to temper himself and take a look at this overseas world. In addition to these, Ye Chuan furthermore wished to find Tuoba Xiaoniao who was wandering around the sea with her father Tuoba Xiong. It had already been a long time since he last heard from Tuoba Xiaoniao, so Ye Chuan was greatly concerned about this endearing little bird. When Tuoba Xiaoniao was still in Cloud Mist Mountain Range, he had always teased her calling her wifey as he loved to look at her ashamed and angry expression. But now that Tuoba Xiaoniao was gone, he wanted to hold her and say sorry. Such an endearing little bird was drifting around the seas throughout the year, that was too pitiful. In addition, if she ran into any mishaps, then that would make people feel even more sympathetic. ¡°Registered, altogether it costs one hundred top-grade crystal stones. And whenever we obtain the news, we will immediately notify you through this rune. Please accept it.¡± This female attendant was quite fast at doing her work. She quickly gave Ye Chuan a message rune. And perhaps, she noticed that Ye Chuan was new to Adventurer Alliance, she gave additional simple explanation, ¡°It is not dangerous to look for a person, but the sea is vast, and it is truly difficult to find a person in this vast sea, thus, the degree of difficulty for this task is Rank 6, which costs one hundred top-grade crystal stones.¡± ¡°Here are a thousand highest-grade crystal stones, increased the difficulty level to the highest. I hope to find the whereabouts of this person as quickly as possible, is one thousand enough?¡± Ye Chuan took out a big pouch of top-grade crystal stone from Cyan Lotus Lamp and placed it in front of this female attendant. The mouth of this female attendant was wide open. She looked at Ye Chuan in a daze. Only after a while, she came back to her senses and said, ¡°Enough, enough, I will raise the level of this task to Rank 9 and immediately issue it.¡± In overseas, the gold coins and silver coins of the mainland were useless. They used crystal stones as their currency. And with the exhaustion of crystal stones mines, the numbers of top-grade crystal stones had gotten fewer and fewer, no need to mention about highest grade crystal stones. One thousand highest grade crystal stones, even though she had worked in Adventurer Alliance for several years, she had never seen so many of them. In addition, she had never seen a person who was so generous. On the surface, this group of Ye Chuan seemed ordinary, but they were amazing. Placing such a high reward just for looking a person, who is this man? And who is the woman Tuoba Xiaoniao he was looking for? Is she his girlfriend or his wife that has run away from home? The adventurers gathered together in twos and threes in the hall quickly walked over and seeing the missions displayed in the crystal screen, everyone exclaimed. Ye Chuan¡¯s group of three quickly left when the people were exclaiming. Some people chased after them wanting to who these three people were, but in the blink of an eye, those three had already disappeared in the crowd. Chapter 390: Treasure Gathering House Chapter 390: Treasure Gathering House In the hall of Adventurer Alliance, when people were still in a heated discussion, the group of Ye Chuan however had arrived at the very interesting place, Treasure Gathering House. On Cyan Sand Island, there were many pubs and various kinds of inns and stores, but there was only one place to buy and sell treasures. That was this Treasure Gathering House located at the most prosperous Cyan Sand Street. It monopolized all treasure sales and purchase of this island. Traveling merchants and adventurers who came and go always brought all kinds of worldly treasures, cultivation techniques or various kinds of strange things. If they wished to get them off their hands, then they could only sell to Treasure Gathering House. One could well image its profit. No one knew who the owner behind this Treasure Gathering House was, and no one knew how many treasures were here. This treasure store seemed to be have emerged overnight several hundred years ago. In the past several hundred, there were people who opened similar treasure store, but either they suffered a huge loss and went bankrupt or they suddenly closed down. Furthermore, in these several hundred years, many great devils who ran amuck in these seas intruded this Treasure Gathering House in an attempt to rob the treasures inside. But the result, they were never seen again. Regardless of how powerful an expert was, they became obedient once they entered this Treasure Gathering House. More than a hundred years ago, a well-known loose cultivator who was named Old Ancestor Fire Dragon talked wildly saying he would exterminate Treasure Gathering House in the space of a night, the result, he was exterminated overnight, and his corpse was tied in the coast for entire three days and three night. Half-Sage realm Old Ancestor Fire Dragon died just like that. Since then, the loose cultivators became well-behaved here, they no longer dared to become wanton in Treasure Gathering House. And slowly, the reputation of Treasure Gathering House became more and more resounding, finally becoming the symbol of Cyan Sand Island. Many boats stopped at this Cyan Sand Island. One reason was this island had a freshwater lake and they could replenish water and other necessary items here, and the other reason was they could trade treasure here in Treasure Gathering House. There were quite a few people who even came from afar to especially sale treasures or purchase some treasures. The background of this Treasure Gathering House was unfathomable, no one dared to provoke it, but it would never cheat anyone in the business transaction. This was absolutely the best place to trade in this chaotic and disorderly overseas world. The trio of Ye Chuan had just entered Treasure Gathering House and a servant quickly came to greet them and led the way. This servant was refined and courteous, and just because this trio of Ye Chuan was wearing ordinary clothing, he didn¡¯t look down on them. He clearly asked about the demand of these three people, then brought Ye Chuan and others to a private room. After that, he left closing the door. Treasure Gathering House was said to be a treasure shop, but compared to the auction houses of the mainland, it was by no means inferior. The auction hall had the minimum accommodation capacity of 2-3000 people, in addition, there were more than 50 different sized private rooms. It was larger than underground Ghost Market in the vicinity of Cloud Mist Sect. If underground Ghost Market was said to be a big stall, then this place was a huge shopping mall. It was luxuriously decorated. Perhaps, even Azure Dragon Prefecture under the domination of Azure Dragon Sect didn¡¯t have such an auction house. ¡°Everyone, welcome to our Treasure Gathering House.¡± A middle-aged man wearing grey robe walked up to a platform and looking all around the hall, he said, ¡°It is time, let¡¯s start the auction. The first treasure to be auctioned is this 8000 years old dagger, take a look everyone!¡± The grey robed middle-aged man lifted the red cloth from the tabletop and a sharp danger appeared in front of everyone. It was glimmering with pallid light. Even the people sitting several meters away could feel chill from this dagger. Good dagger! Ye Chuan who had closed his eyes after entering the private room suddenly opened his eyes. Even though this danger was 8000 years old, there was no mark of the passing of time on it. It was so sharp as if it was just forged. This was a killing weapon that was suitable for close combat fighters. It was best for assassins. In addition, there was a rune engraved on it and it was emitting a sharp and powerful energy fluctuation, clearly was a treasure, much more powerful than an ordinary flying sword. ¡°In the ranking list of overseas, this dagger ranks 1327. It is the 8000 years old final masterpiece of Weapon Refining Master Emperor Pu Feiyang before his death. The starting price is 800 top-grade crystal stones, and one should raise 50 top-grade crystal stones each time.¡± This grey robed middle-aged man briefly introduced the origin of this dagger and then gave time to the guests present in the hall. ¡°Rank 1327 in weapon ranking list? This is absolutely a treasured killing weapon!¡± ¡°No wonder, as it turned out to be the masterpiece of Great Emperor Pu, moreover, it is his final work before his death, no wonder this blade is so sharp!¡± The people in the auction hall got excited and the price rose rapidly. Soon, the price reached 1700 top-grade crystal stones from 800. No one doubted the origin and the value of this dagger because all the items from this Treasure Gathering House had never been fake. ¡°Your Excellency, should¡­¡­.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin was eager to make trouble. As an old evil spirit, he had a lot of resources. A thousand or two top grade crystal stones was an astronomical figure to the ordinary cultivator, but it was nothing to him. As long as Ye Chuan nodded his head, he would immediately buy this dagger. ¡°It is sharp enough, unfortunately, its flexibility is insufficient. If you seriously use all your strength to stab an expert, if it is unable to pierce through the body of the opponent, then it would break. The cultivation of that Great Emperor Pu should not be more than Rank 7 Daoist Master realm, so although he had great attainment in reining weapon, his cultivation was insufficient to reach the higher level, it¡¯s a pity, it¡¯s a pity!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and said feeling a pity. The dagger on the platform, at first glance, the eyes of people shone, and at second glance, people felt something was insufficient, and at third glance, they couldn¡¯t help feeling it was a pity. Who was Ye Chuan, he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage who once concealed the heaven. Although he didn¡¯t specialize in weapon refining, not many people had reached the level of weapon refining he had attained. The so-called weapon refining masters were too far behind to catch up to him. Just looking at this dagger from far away, Ye Chuan was able to discern the shortcomings of this dagger and he was even able to point out the shortcomings of the weapon refining master who refined this dagger. Old Demon of Mount Yin was tongue-tied, he had never expected for Ye Chuan to be so experienced. In terms of cultivation base, although he was still far above Ye Chuan, vaguely stepping into Half-Sage realm, in other aspects, he was nowhere near Ye Chuan. A person who wanted to set foot on the pinnacle of cultivation needed to fulfill many conditions. Very often, the shortage of knowledge would become a hard shortcoming to resolve. A real expert should excel in cultivation, alchemy, refining weapons, laying out restrictions and other areas. On the contrary, a heaven-defying expert who didn¡¯t know how to refine pills and weapons, or the so-called Weapon Refining Master with mediocre cultivation, their achievement would be limited. Old Demon of Mount Yin knew his own shortcomings. Because of this, he was genuinely convinced by Ye Chuan. The longer he stayed beside Ye Chuan, the more he knew that Ye Chuan, this master of his, was not simple, and all the more become aware that Ye Chuan was unfathomable. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± An exclaiming sound came from the next door private room. It seemed that the person next door was greatly surprised hearing Ye Chuan¡¯s word, then several powerful divine sense quickly scanned the private room of Ye Chuan. Chapter 391: Blacksnake Chapter 391: Blacksnake ¡°Heh heh, what a strong spirit, I like it!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin smirked and suddenly issued a noiseless roar with his spirit. Bang! Along with the crisp sound, teacups in front of the three of them exploded and the sound of window curtain fluttering resounded Then, from the next door private room, several muffled groans came in succession along with a faint smell of blood. It seemed someone was injured. The collision of spirits had always been the most dangerous. A few people of next door had sent out their divine sense to scan them. Although sweeping through them once with their divine sense was fine, they however continued to scan them repeatedly. This in itself was very rude action. Who was Old Demon of Mount Yin? How could he endure this kind of rude action? He immediately counterattacked. After that, on the wall, suddenly green sprouts appeared which immediately became denser. This was the unique skill of Old Demon of Mount Yin. These sprouts could instantly transform into dangerous vines. ¡°Kakaka, who is so daring? Dare to be so rude in front of this lordship, come out.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and the green sprouts on the wall began to grow. But just when he was about to come into blows with the people next door, Ye Chuan grabbed him and shook his head, ¡°Rhodes, okay, end it here.¡± It was necessary to teach rude fellows some lesson so as to avoid some people reaching for a yard after getting an inch, but, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to escalate things tonight. ¡°Yes, Your Excellency.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin bowed accepting the order of Ye Chuan and those vines that had just grown on the walls disappeared as if they were never there before. A cold snort came from the next door, it was a female voice, followed by an old man¡¯s voice saying something. Then, the killing intent of the next door slowly dissipated, and both sides became silent. The auction was going on. The price of that dagger rose from 800 top-grade crystal stone to more than 3000. Finally, it was bought by a wealthy Island Master. No one noticed that invisible conflict between the two rooms. In the vast sea, there were many islands, but the overwhelming majority of them were unsuitable for survival. All the islands with a pleasant environment and a slightly larger area were generally under the domination of natives or loose cultivators. So, all the people that were able to become the Island Master had extraordinary strength. No one was willing to easily fight in this kind of tyrants¡¯ territories. Moreover, since the Island Master himself had placed the bid, who would dare to outbid him. The grey-robed middle-aged man brought out the second treasure. The second treasure was a golden suit of heavy armor, commonly known as golden armor. Allegedly, it was fished up when salvaging the sunken boat several thousand years ago. The grey robed middle-aged man tested it on the spot, showing a common flying sword was unable to stab through it. There was not even a scratch on it. According to the appraisal of Treasure Gathering House, it ranked higher than the dagger of just a moment ago in Overseas Weaponry List. After this grey robed middle-aged man finished introducing this treasure, people began to make bids. This time, more people participated, and in an extremely short time, its price rose to more than five times more than its starting price. The people of next door also bid. As soon as they opened the mouth, they bid 8000 top-grade crystal stones which frightened the whole audience and also won this bid. After obtaining this item, the cold snort of a women came from this room, seemingly, she was provoking others. The complexion of Old Demon of Mount Yin was not good. As for Ye Chuan, he just laughed it away, no longer evaluating the items displayed. After the dagger and golden armor, the third treasure appeared on the stage. Exceeding all expectation, the treasure this time was unexpectedly a boat. According to the appraisal of Treasure Gathering House, this entire boat was made with a type of bamboo called Diamond Bamboo and it could accommodate 5 people. Although it was very light, it was 11 times faster than ordinary boats as there was an ancient formation on the boat. This speed was already comparable to the speed of ordinary flying swords. In the overseas world, boats were the most useful tool. No one would use a flying sword to fly. This boat quickly attracted the attention of many people and its price soared to more than 10,000 top-grade crystal stones. Then, there was one wealthy Island Master who directly bid 20,000 top-grade crystal stones, unfortunately, someone else bid higher. ¡°23,000 top-grade crystal stones.¡± A sinister voice came from the private room located at the northwest corner. Looking from far away, one could see a group of black robed people standing in the room via translucent window curtain. They had a big bamboo hat on their head and were wearing a black battle robe with a curved snake embroidered on their left and right cuffs. In addition, the atmosphere around them was so gloomy that it could make people shudder. Blacksnake Clan! The noisy auction hall instantly became silent and no one dared to raise the price. Even the wealthy Island Masters were also silent. Blacksnake embroidered on the cuffs was the special mark of Blacksnake Clan. There were many Island Masters that dominated an island in this hall, but no one dared to compete against this Blacksnake Clan which dominated the entire East Sea. Even the room next door was very quiet, not daring to utter a sound. In the vast sea, the notoriety of Blacksnake Clan was well known. Not need to mention in East Sea, even in South Sea, their ferocious name was wide spread. No one dared to provoke this kind of overlord. ¡°23,001 top-grade crystal stones.¡± The voice of Ye Chuan resounded. The entire audience was stunned and all of them coincidentally looked over. Unfortunately, they only heard the voice of Ye Chuan, couldn¡¯t see the facial features of Ye Chuan because of the big bamboo hat. Even after the people of Blacksnake Clan make a bid, there unexpectedly was a person that compete with them, moreover, raising the prince by only one crystal stone, this clearly showed that he was rising the bid only for the sake of arguing. Everyone were shocked, even the grey robed middle-aged man who was on the platform was stunned and he was unable to guess the origin of Ye Chuan. The people of the next door private room also exclaimed, then became silent, not daring to provoke anyone. The complexion of the people of Blacksnake Clan became very bad. This was not the first time they were participating in the auction of this Treasure Gathering House. Every time their Blacksnake Clan opened their mouth, no one would dare to utter a word in fear. The experts of Blacksnake Clan were already accustomed to this, but with the sudden appearance of someone who dared to compete with them, moreover, raising the price by only one top-grade crystal stone, this was clearly slapping their face in public! The sounds of sword unsheathing resounded one after another as the experts of Blacksnake Clan unsheathed their swords in succession looking ferocious. The atmosphere of the auction house instantly became heavy and even the people that were talking in whispers shut their mouth in fear that they would attract a disaster upon themselves. The grey robed middle-aged man on the platform squinted his eyes and secretly signaled, then a group of guards rushed in from outside. Even wealthy Island Masters didn¡¯t dare to provoke notorious Blacksnake Clan, but Treasure Gathering House was fearless. In addition, they couldn¡¯t shrink back at this moment, otherwise, the credibility of Treasure Gathering House would be destroyed. ¡°30,000 crystal stones.¡± The sinister voice resounded again. In the private room, a young man who seemed to be the leader shook his head and the experts of Blacksnake Clan laid down their swords in succession. The people¡¯s gaze again moved towards the private room where Ye Chuan¡¯s group of three were staying. It was reasonable for Blacksnake Clan not erupting on the stop. But, they didn¡¯t dare to make a move within Treasure Gathering House didn¡¯t mean they would not make a move outside Treasure Gathering House. Now, they were watching how Ye Chuan¡¯s group of three would respond, will they dare to raise the price again? Or, since this circumstance was anything but reassuring for them, would they silently leave this place quickly? If other people were in their current position, then they would have turned around and left immediately, not daring to remain here a second longer. Provoking Blacksnake Clan basically meant the death sentence. Chapter 392: Blacksnake phantom Chapter 392: Blacksnake phantom ¡°30,001 crystal stones.¡± The voice of Ye Chuan resounded once again. Because of the encounter with Redline Lady Chu Hongniang, he already found Blacksnake Clan not pleasing to the eye. But it was not possible for him to deliberately change their route to East Sea to go and look for Blacksnake Clan to make trouble for the time being because he had to escort Sea Demon Clan to their ethnic Holy Land, Lost City, and return as soon as possible. But, he coincidentally met these people of Blacksnake Clan, so he didn¡¯t mind killing their prestige. In any case, it was not the first time he incurred hatred with Blacksnake Clan. At that time in underground Ghost Market of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, he had snatched Heavenly Dragon Rice Seed from the hands of Blacksnake Clan¡¯s Dark Tree Monarch. So, even if he didn¡¯t go to find trouble with this Blacksnake Clan, one day, Blacksnake Clan will definitely come to his doorstep to look for trouble. ¡°Amazing, who exactly is he? Even Blacksnake Clan didn¡¯t enter his eyes.¡± ¡°Listening to his voice, he is a young man and he has the mainland accent. He should be a person that has just come from the mainland. Either he has a powerful background or he is a rookie that has just embarked on his cultivation path that doesn¡¯t understand anything. He basically might have never heard about the ruthlessness of Blacksnake Clan.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. In the auction hall, people couldn¡¯t help talking in whispers, guessing the identity of Ye Chuan. In the private room of Blacksnake Clan, the expression of this leader youth involuntarily changed, then he raised the price once again, ¡°Top-grade crystal stones, 60,000 pieces!¡± The leader youth was angry and directly doubled the price. It appeared as if he was one of the core members of Blacksnake Clan who held the power in their hand. The experts of Blacksnake Clan standing behind him were extremely respectful to him. In the auction hall, there was a commotion once again. 60,000 top-grade crystal stones! A single underground mine absolutely couldn¡¯t yield so many top-grade crystal stones! After all, unlike millions of years ago, now, the worldly spiritual qi had become thinner and thinner, in addition, good spirit mines had already exhausted. With so many top-grade crystal stones, one could directly buy an island and become Island Master. In the auction hall, there were many Island Masters that came from afar to buy treasures, every one of them was wealthy, but compared to Blacksnake Clan, every one of them was inferior. They were immediately scared by the background of this youth of Blacksnake Clan. ¡°60,001 pieces.¡± The voice of Ye Chuan resounded again. His voice was completely indifferent without any anger and fear as if he was not the one who was involved in this bidding war. Although the people here were frightened by the notoriety of Blacksnake Clan, Ye Chuan however was indifferent. This moment, everyone understood that Ye Chuan was fearless. Even if he was just a rookie who had just made his debut and he didn¡¯t know the ferocious name of Blacksnake Clan, after the youth of Blacksnake Clan bid 60,000 top-grade crystal stones, any average person in the position of Ye Chuan would have understood that he had encountered a person he couldn¡¯t afford to offend, then shrink back. But, Ye Chuan still raised the price by one crystal stone indifferently. This showed that he had come here preparing to go against Blacksnake Clan. He truly must have a powerful background. The people were silently waiting for the good play. In the vast sea, this was the first time someone dared to challenge the authority of Blacksnake Clan and slap them on the face in public. Now, everyone wanted to see how this challenge would end and who Ye Chuan was. In this period of time, the dark hand of Blacksnake Clan had extended to the South Sea. They had kidnapped a large number of virgin boys and virgin girls, breaking many families. A lot of people were already unable to stand by and watch, merely, under the pressure of the despotic power of Blacksnake Clan, they didn¡¯t dare to speak their mind even though they were angry. Now, someone had finally come to ruthlessly suppress the prestige of Blacksnake Clan, this was most welcomed! Another wave of dense killing intent soared from the private room of Blacksnake Clan. All the experts of Blacksnake Clan held the hilt of their sword with killing intent. They were ready to make a move and the energy fluctuation within their body was climbing higher. Most of them were Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts and there even were quite a few peak Daoist Master realm experts. A number of timid loose cultivators and adventurers began to quickly withdraw from this hall, wanting to stay away from this conflict. But, even more people stayed here. They were excited, eager and also deeply concerned. If the group of Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have a very powerful strength or background, then they were dead this time. Just after taking a step outside this Treasure Gathering House, they might immediately turn into incomplete corpses under the sword of Blacksnake Clan. Even if Treasure Gathering House came to protect them, they might not be able to leave this Cyan Sand Island alive. The guards of Treasure Gathering House were clearly nervous, but they were similarly holding their sharp sword, watching the people of Blacksnake Clan alertly. Unlike general loose cultivators or Island Masters, Blacksnake Clan was one of the overlords that ran amuck in all seas. The slightest bit of carelessness and the trio of Ye Chuan would die here today, that in turn will destroy the reputation of Treasure Gathering House. Like this, in the future, no one would be able to explain this to Master Zhai who was in seclusion cultivation. ¡°60,001 top-grade crystal stones, is there any higher big? If there isn¡¯t, then this Diamond Bamboo Boat will¡­¡­¡± The grey robed middle-aged man on the platform wiped the sweat from his forehead, then prepared to hammer down to decide Ye Chuan as the new owner of this Diamond Bamboo Boat. Usually, he would have tried his best to trick people to raise the price, but now, he couldn¡¯t wait for this auction to end as soon as possible. A sinister snort suddenly came from the private room of Blacksnake Clan. The youth who had just suppressed his subordinates could no longer control himself and made a move. His invisible divine sense suddenly hit the grey robed middle-aged man on the platform. The latter felt pain on his chest as if an invisible hammer had ruthlessly pounded his chest, thus, he was unable to speak out the remaining words. After that, with beads of sweat flowing down from his forehead, he collapsed and curled up in pain. After inflicting a heavy injury to that grey robed middle-aged man, this sinister divine sense didn¡¯t disappear, instead turned towards Ye Chuan. In this big auction hall, the clothing of everyone fluttered even though there was no wind, and everyone felt extremely uncomfortable in their chest, moreover, they could smell a special foul smell of a poisonous snake as if a deadly poisonous snake was lurking in the dark. Some sharp-eyed people saw that the invisible divine sense of this youth was getting more and more powerful, and it unexpectedly turned into a poisonous snake phantom, then flew towards Ye Chuan as fast as any flying sword. A divine sense technique, a deadly attack! The skill of this black-robed youth exceeded the imagination of everyone. He was unexpectedly a peak Daoist Master realm heaven-defying expert who could step into Half-Sage realm at any time! It¡¯s over, this youth that went against Blacksnake Clan cannot withstand it! People were shocked and they sighed in their heart. The cultivation base of Ye Chuan seemed not bad, he seemed to be around Rank 3 Daoist Master realm. But this move of the black-robed youth was very sinister and vicious. Even Rank 7 Daoist Master realm grey robed middle-aged man on the platform was unable to withstand it, how could trifling Rank 3 Daoist Master realm withstand it? Ye Chuan didn¡¯t resist, he just stood behind the window as if he was petrified in fear. And he also appeared as if his cultivation base was not strong enough to feel the approaching danger. Hiss! The poisonous snake phantom accelerated and condensed more and more. Now, it appeared as if it had changed into a true poisonous snake when arrived in front of Ye Chuan. Its one bite might be able to poison even peak Daoist Master realm expert to death! Chapter 393: Noble son Blacksnake Chapter 393: Noble son Blacksnake A thin figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chuan, then with a slap, this ferocious blacksnake phantom dissipated. Little Long¡¯er stood out, helping Ye Chuan block this strange attack. Others were afraid of the poison of this blacksnake phantom and even Old Demon of Mount Yin had some misgivings, but Little Long¡¯er was completely fearless. Every demonic dragon was had an innate skill since birth. Their body was doughty and they don¡¯t need to fear all kinds of poisons. Even the terrifying poisonous mist of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm was ineffective against him, let alone this trifling blacksnake phantom. From the beginning to the end, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even move. He just coldly watched this blacksnake phantom until it was scattered by Little Long¡¯er. After refining half-Dragon Physique and condensing eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans, his body had also become particularly doughty and he didn¡¯t need to fear the poison of this blacksnake phantom. Merely, with Old Demon of Mount Yin and Little Long¡¯er standing behind him, he didn¡¯t need to personally make a move to stop this trifling blacksnake phantom. In the auction hall, everyone was surprised, then, they subconsciously cheered and applauded. This applause was for amazing Little Long¡¯er and also for standing tall and straight Ye Chuan. In many years, this was the first time people had seen someone opposing Blacksnake eyes. Moreover, not only they daringly suppressed Blacksnake Clan in public, but they also directly destroyed the ferocious attack of Blacksnake Clan! Just a child follower was already so powerful, who exactly was Ye Chuan standing by the window? People became all the more curious about the identity and background of Ye Chuan, and they began to guess. Seeing Blacksnake Clan who had been doing all kinds of evil being suppressed so ferociously, everyone was delighted! Many loose cultivators already found this Blacksnake Clan not pleasing to eyes, so seeing them being suppressed like this, they were very happy. In the entire auction hall, only the people of Blacksnake Clan had a sullen face. In the private room of Blacksnake Clan, the complexion of leader youth was gloomy. He slowly took off his big bamboo hat, revealing his handsome face, then he sinisterly said, ¡°It turned out to be a hidden great expert, excuse me for my impropriety, I am noble son Blacksnake, Mei Chuanfeng, I wonder how I should address this noble son?¡± The black robe youth had a handsome face but his voice was sinister with a cold qi, and the more one looked at his face, the more uncomfortable one felt as if he was a poisonous snake. Seeing he had taken the initiative to take off his big bamboo hat to show his face, the other experts of Blacksnake Clan shivered and all of them hung down their head, not daring to breathe heavily. Noble son Mei Chuanfeng rarely showed his true face in front of other people. Every time he took the initiative to take off his big bamboo hat, it meant that he was angry to the extreme and was prepared to kill all around him! No one knew more about the behavior of Mei Chuangeng than these bodyguards of Blacksnake Clan. Each one of them lowered their head not daring to utter a sound for fear that they would court disaster. At this moment, if they carelessly made improper remarks, then they would definitely lose their life. ¡°What, noble son Blacksnake, Mei Chuanfeng? He¡­¡­, he is¡­¡­¡± ¡°Finished, today, something big is going to happen in this Cyan Sand Island!¡± In the auction hall, the complexion of everyone changed greatly. Hearing the self-introduction of this black robed youth, everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air. There were countless experts in Blacksnake Clan, and like many sects, they were divided into the outer and inner disciple. Generally, people only see outer disciples or outer elders. They went all around in an expedition, enlarging the territory of Blacksnake Clan, so their death rate was very high. The death of outer disciples and outer elders of Blacksnake Clan was frequent, but the inner disciples were different. The inner experts of Blacksnake Clan rarely came out, but each one of them was a powerful expert. Once they came out, they would give rise to foul wind and rain of blood, putting people into misery and suffering. And this noble son Mei Chuanfeng was elite among the inner disciples. According to the rumor, he was below just the patriarch in Blacksnake Clan. As for his cultivation base, he had already broken through to peak Daoist Master realm and he was so ferocious that no opponent had ever escaped alive from him. More than ten years ago, there was an Island Master who unknowingly enraged this devil, the result, tens of thousands of people were killed by him in the space of one night, not leaving behind any living beings! All the people in the auction hall immediately turned around and left hastily. And some people, when they reached the gate of Treasure Gathering House, they immediately ran wildly and when they reached the coast, they boarded their boat to leave this place. This auction hall that was overcrowded with people just a moment ago instantly became much emptier. Only some people stayed behind but they also retreated far away to one side, preparing to run away at moment notice. Just the name of noble son Mei Chuanfeng scared of so many people and now, no one dared to cheer and applaud. In the private room, the complexion of noble son Mei Chuanfeng was clearly much better, and seeing the reaction of the people, a complacent smile appeared on his face as he was very satisfied with the reaction of people. ¡°What damned blacksnake, never heard of it.¡± But the indifferent words of Ye Chuan made the complexion of complacent noble son Mei Chuanfeng turn purple. Moreover, Ye Chuan added, ¡°60,001 top-grade crystal stones, can you bid higher or not? If not, then sit down, this Diamond Bamboo Boat is mine.¡± The mighty name of this Noble son Blacksnake scared many people, but Ye Chuan was indifferent. Moreover, he hadn¡¯t spoken nonsense because he had truly never heard of noble son Mei Chuanfeng, merely, even if he had truly heard of it, nothing would have changed. ¡°You¡­..¡± Noble son Mei Chuanfeng was so angry that his face turned red and his killing intent soared along with the energy fluctuation within his body. But, when he was preparing to attack, from the corner of his eyes, he saw three white bearded old men slowly entering the auction hall, and a heavy pressure spread all over. These three old men were peak Daoist Master realm experts and they were wearing the dress of Treasure Gathering House, clearly showing that they were the peak experts of this Treasure Gathering House. Should fight or not? Noble son Mei Chuanfeng hesitated and forcibly held himself back. Now, the opponent was not only the trio of Ye Chuan with unknown origin, but also Treasure Gathering House within unfathomable power. In any case, Treasure Gathering House would not let anyone publicly make trouble in the auction hall. If this was East Sea, then he would not have any misgivings, as a pair of fists couldn¡¯t withstand four fists as the experts of his clan could rush over upon hearing the news, but this was South Sea, so he had no choice but to think over. Cyan Sand Island was the lair of Treasuring Gathering House. It was deeply rooted here, and as a powerful dragon cannot crush a snake in its old haunts, noble son Mei Chuanfeng also had misgivings in his heart to fight here. ¡°90,000 top-top grade crystal stones!¡± After hesitating for a moment, noble son Mei Chuanfeng finally shouted while gritting his teeth in anger. He had decided to take the treasure first. As for everything else, that could wait until they leave Treasure Gathering House. When they were outside Treasure Gathering House, he could do whatever he wanted without any misgivings. ¡°Heh heh, you are truly rich, I bid¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan sneered and when everyone was thinking he was about to raise the price again, The tone of Ye Chuan changed, ¡°It is just a boat made up of bamboo, it would fall apart with just a wave, might as well have a dugout canoe instead of it. Noble son Mei Chuan, since you like it so much like this, then I give it to you, take it.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s tone was as if he was giving away this Diamond Bamboo Boat to noble son Blacksnake for free. Hearing this, Mei Chuanfeng who had just suppressed his anger turned red and wanted to vomit blood, realizing the plot of Ye Chuan. This thing that could be bought with 10,000 to 20,000 top-grade crystal stones, he bought it with 90,000 top-grade crystal stones. Who wouldn¡¯t hate this? Chapter 394: Beauty Reef Chapter 394: Beauty Reef After the owner of Diamond Bamboo Boat was decided, the fourth treasure was revealed. This was as a coral reef. What was amazing about it was, it was naturally a humanoid shape. Looking from far away, it vividly looked just like a half lying girl with a well-proportion figure. Many people in the auction hall exclaimed in amazement. Seeing the top experts of Treasure Gathering House had arrived, noble son Mei Chuanfeng endured, moreover, the people who were prepared to run away at any time also stayed there and carefully looked at the coral reef at the platform. ¡°This is a beauty reef. It was salvaged from the sea near Hidden Celestial Island. It is unknown how old it is and what effect it has. The starting price is 8,000 top-grade crystal stones.¡± That grey robed middle-aged man briefly introduced this item. His talking speed was very fast as if he wanted this auction to end fast. Noble son Mei Chuanfeng had personally arrived at Cyan Sand Island, this was unexpected and also an astonishing news. But for the residents, traveling merchants and loose cultivators of Cyan Sand Island, this was absolutely not a good news. No one wanted to meet Mei Chuanfeng, this god of plague. And what was even more discouraging was, the latter was really temperamental and he had flared up in auction hall. The longer this auction dragged out, the more chances that there would be mishaps. Originally, he had prepared to grandly introduce this beauty reef, but now he finished it with just a few sentences. People were silent, no one dared to utter a word. With noble son Mei Chuanfeng here, who dared to bid first? As that might offend this temperamental god of plague. ¡°10,000 crystal stones!¡± The voice of noble son Mei Chuanfeng resounded. But, Island Masters who boasted about their wealth still remained silent, not daring to bid higher. All people silently watched towards the private box of Ye Chuan. ¡°10,001 crystal stones.¡± Sure enough, the indifferent voice of Ye Chuan resounded and added along with a smile, ¡°Noble son Mei Chuan, this noble son has taken a fancy upon this beauty reef, be sure to not vie with me.¡± Come, come again! Still adding one crystal stone to bicker! The noble son Mei Chuan was out of breath. He stood up and gritted his teeth, but, he didn¡¯t continue to raise the price even after a long time. Since Ye Chuan had said that he had taken a fancy upon this beauty reef and he was determined to win it, the more no one believed in it, whoever believed in it was a stupid fellow. If he had truly taken a fancy upon it, then would he have said like that? Just a moment ago, Mei Chuanfeng had bought Diamond Bamboo Boat at a very high price, he would not be a blockhead again, right? Although Blacksnake Clan didn¡¯t need to worry about crystal stones, he didn¡¯t have infinite numbers of crystal stones he could spend as he pleased. This beauty reef¡¯s appearance was unique and amazing, noble son Mei Chuanfeng also wanted to buy it, but with Ye Chuan here, this fellow who was especially rising the price, he had no choice to give up on this item. Noble son Mei Chuanfeng was in a dilemma, worrying about personal gains and losses. He had the mind to vie for it, but he didn¡¯t want to become blockhead in money matters again. Seeing he was silent, everyone remained silent not daring to raise their head. ¡°Well, 10,001 top-grade crystal stones, this beauty reef belongs to this noble son now.¡± The grey robed middle-aged man gave the final word, then someone brought this beauty reef to the private room of Ye Chuan, quickly settling the account. Then, a few of the remaining treasures were introduced. Noble son Mei Chuanfeng had some regret, unfortunately, it was already too late to raise the price, so he felt somewhat stuffy in his heart. Thinking about how Ye Chuan obtained the beauty reef just adding a crystal stone, his mood became bad. On the platform, the auction continued, several outstanding treasures were displayed. Finally, after an ancient flying sword was displayed on the platform, the atmosphere of this auction hall was again pushed to the peak. Slowly, people began to bid madly again as if they had forgotten the threat of noble son Mei Chuanfeng. After buying beauty reef, Ye Chuan no longer made a bid and also no longer evaluated the treasure displayed on the platform. The auction was not over yet but he quietly left with Old Demon of Mount Yin and Little Long¡¯er. When they left the private room, he just happened to see the door of the neighboring private room was slightly open. From there, he caught the glimpse of a woman in a pink dress who had a sword hung on her waist. Her eyes were big and she was ferociously glaring at Ye Chuan. As it turned out, this woman of next door private room who had been provoked was this woman in pink! Ye Chuan just smiled, ignoring the provocation of this woman in pink, then quickly left Treasure Gathering House along with Old Demon of Mount Yin and Little Long¡¯er, merging with the crowd. Outside the gate, there were two black robed people with a big bamboo hat. Upon seeing the trio of Ye Chuan, their eyes flashed with pallid light, then one of them turned and entered Treasure Gathering House to report to noble son Mei Chuanfeng. As for the other one, he followed the trio of Ye Chuan from the distance. In order to take precaution against the trio of Ye Chuan leaving quietly, the noble son Mei Chuanfeng was already prepared long ago. Not long after, numerous experts with dense killing intent rushed out of Treasure Gathering House. At this moment, the trio of Ye Chuan was still leisurely loitering around the night market of Cyan Sand Island. ¡°Your Excellency, did you truly take a fancy on that beauty reef? Does it have any profound mystery?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin asked. ¡°No, I also didn¡¯t see any profound mystery in it, but, having such a unique appearance, isn¡¯t that enough to pique interest?¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°When we return from this trip, Nan Tiandu and others might have already dug out a big canal. At that time, we can dig a big lake at the foot of the mountain, and place this beauty reef in it to cultivate some fishes and shrimps. Besides, it only cost 10,001 crystal stones, in addition, that whatever damned snake must be very pleased in his heart.¡± A hint of a smile appeared on his face, but there was something he hadn¡¯t spoken. He really wanted to dig a big lake at the foot of the mountain, but it was not to cultivate some fishes and shrimps, rather to cultivate a huge snake. White Lady in Heavenly Pond of Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan had never forgotten about it. In the past, the situation of Cloud Mist Sect was not appropriate, but after the canal was dug out, he could dig out a large lake with clear waters which could be the home of White Lady. Like that, in the future, if he found Heavenly Yao Sect not pleasing to eyes, he could just kidnap their sect¡¯s guardian, White Lady, shaking the foundation of Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°Kekeke, Your Excellency, you are too evil.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily, imagining the dejected appearance of that Mei Chuanfeng. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, the people of Blacksnake Clan are chasing us.¡± The sharp eyes of Little Long¡¯er quickly discovered the experts of Blacksnake Clan and he was somewhat nervous. ¡°It is so crowded in this night market, wait for them to catch up, if they didn¡¯t catch up, then how can we kill them? Let¡¯s go, go to the coast.¡± Ye Chuan sneered and walked towards the coast where sea dragon boat was docked. While he was still in the auction hall, after knowing Mei Chuanfeng had personally come to Cyan Sand Island, Ye Chuan had made up his mind to kill all the people of Blacksnake Clan in one fell swoop in this Cyan Sand Island. This time, Blacksnake Clan had come to South Sea to kidnap 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls. It was very likely that this Mie Chuanfeng was personally leading this operation, doing countless bad things here. And since he had finally met a big shot of Blacksnake Clan, this was a good opportunity he couldn¡¯t miss. Like this, not only he would be helping many people, Redline Lady Chu Hongniang would have a chance to personally take revenge. ¡°Keke, Your Excellency, after capturing this Mei Chongfeng, should we steam him in broth or deep fry him?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin was excited, itching to have a go. What he liked the most was this kind of intense large-scale battle as he could take opportunity of the occasion to absorb energy essence, blood and flesh of the opponent experts. The more he slaughtered, the quicker his cultivation would rise. ¡°I prefer stewing, let¡¯s eat snake soup tonight by stewing all of them in one pot.¡± Ye Chuan laughed and his speed became faster and faster. And not long after, they left the night market and set out towards the dark and remote wilderness. From behind, mixed and disorderly footsteps came. Noble son Mei Chuanfeng and his group also accelerated chasing after Ye Chuan without any misgivings. Seeing this, Ye Chuan patted the shoulder of Little Long¡¯er and whispered some instructions in his ear. Then, Little Long¡¯er transformed into a dragon and flew away to inform Zhu Sijia and others to prepare in advance. Chapter 395: Death Bamboo Forest Chapter 395: Death Bamboo Forest Setting foot on the remote wilderness, noble son Mei Chuanfeng¡¯s group clearly accelerated. But, no matter how much they accelerated, they were unable to catch up to them. There was always a constant distance between them. If they increase a bit of their speed, then Ye Chuan and Old Demon of Mount Yin would also increase their speed by little, and if they slow down a bit, then they two would also slow down. ¡°Noble son, something is wrong, there is very likely to be a trap in the front!¡± Someone quickly noticed the abnormality and were worried. If an average person had noticed that a large group of Blacksnake Clan¡¯s experts was chasing him, then he would have already run desperately, how could they maintain such a consent distance as if he was leading them somewhere? Ye Chuan with unknown origin made these experts of Blacksnake Clan have misgivings, The more unknown the matter, the more people feared, regardless of the overseas world or mainland, this was the same principle. And anyone who was daring enough to compete against noble son Blacksnake in auction hall was naturally not anyone average. ¡°Humph, what if there is a trap? When did our Blacksnake Clan fear traps and schemes of others? We will directly crush through everything! Chase, no matter how many people they have, kill all of them, don¡¯t leave a single one!¡± Noble son Mei Chuanfeng gnashed his teeth and stepping on his black flying sword, he flew at full speed chasing after Ye Chuan and Old Demon of Mount Yin. This flying sword was not ordinary. It had a distinctive outer appearance, it resembled a snake winding around a chopstick and was as fast as lightning. ¡°Chase, keep up the pace!¡± ¡°Noble son has ordered, don¡¯t leave a single one behind!¡± The experts of Blacksnake Clan shouted and used flying swords in succession. With over a hundred of them together, they looked vast and mighty as they flew after Noble son Mei Chuanfeng with dense killing intent. Many of these experts of Blacksnake Clan were great devils that roamed around the seas, killing people like flies. They were accustomed to tyrannize, so reaching the remote area of Cyan Sand Island, they didn¡¯t have any misgivings to wantonly kill people. In Cyan Sand Island, there were many powerful auras. Perhaps, they were the top expert of Treasure Gathering House, or perhaps, were overseas loose cultivators living in seclusion, they clearly noticed the movement of this side but no one showed themselves, they just watched quietly. Now, over a hundred experts of Blacksnake Clan were shouting and chasing after Ye Chuan and Old Demon of Mount Yin, stepping on their flying swords. The distance between them gradually decreased, and they prepared to make a deadly move. Once they reached a bit close, they would immediately attack to kill them. But Ye Chuan and Old Demon of Mount Yin in the front suddenly accelerated. Old Demon of Mount Yin shoot out a long vine from his palm which coiled around stones or trees in the front, then he would swing forward rapidly. As for Ye Chuan, he didn¡¯t have a unique skill like Old Demon of Mount Yin, he just put forth the strength on his legs and ran, but he was even faster than Old Demon of Mount Yin. These two people didn¡¯t use a flying sword, but now, they were even faster than the experts of Blacksnake Clan who were using flying swords. After a little while, Ye Chuan and Old Demon of Mount Yin entered into a bamboo forest and disappeared. This was a very luxuriant bamboo forest. Although it didn¡¯t cover a large area, the trees were flourishing and dese, nothing could be seen inside. The pursuing troops with dense killing intent suddenly stopped and someone quickly lit the torch. ¡°Noble son, this situation is getting worse, we must be careful.¡± An adviser looking middle-aged man stood out and warned Mei Chuanfeng again. ¡°Just now, the speed of those two people is clearly beyond the capabilities of Daoist Master realm experts. They are clearly hiding their strength. If we continue to chase, then we will fall into their ambush. Noble son, it is better to immediately send out the message and call together all experts of our clan here in South Sea, then search for them early in the morning tomorrow.¡± They were able to run faster than flying sword, what kind of cultivation was this? The complexion of this middle-aged adviser was ice-cold, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, and the experts around also seemed somewhat restless. That speed of Ye Chuan had made these arrogant experts of Blacksnake Clan have misgivings. Mei Chuanfeng didn¡¯t speak, he just sized up this bamboo forest for a while with a gloomy face, then coldly said, ¡°Tomorrow? Wait until tomorrow to search them? By then, they might have already reached thousands of miles away in the sea, how will you find them?¡± His voice was sinister with an inexplicable chill. When the voice of Mei Chuanfeng was still ringing in the ears of others, Mei Chuanfeng suddenly rushed and disappeared in the bamboo forest. He himself was already powerful enough, even if there truly was a trap inside, he was confident that he could escape unscathed. Since he made a name for himself, no one had ever dared to disrespect him like this. If he didn¡¯t kill Ye Chuan tonight, then he would be sullen for his lifetime, and because of this, his cultivation might even be stuck for his entire lifetime. ¡°Chase, protect noble son!¡± The middle-aged adviser gritted his teeth and led everyone into this bamboo forest. Many torches illuminated this dark bamboo forest, and the speed of people was very fast. But in the blink of an eye, Mei Chuanfeng who had taken the lead to enter the forest was nowhere to be seen. A cold wind blew. No one knew from where it was blowing, but people couldn¡¯t help shivering with cold. This was not the frequently seen cold rather was a kind of inexplicable coldness as if they had entered into an ancient tomb. Looking around, only branches and leaves of bamboo could be seen, and it appeared as if every bamboo here was a ghost that was coldly looking at them, the uninvited guests. ¡°Divide into ten groups with ten people each, and as soon as the noble son is found, retreat from this place.¡± The middle-aged adviser orders with tense complexion. With the absence of Mei Chuanfeng, he was the leader of this group now. And as a great devil who had run amuck in four seas, he was too familiar with this aura. This was yin qi of dead land, very ominous. Either there were some evil things buried below this bamboo forest or there was a heaven-defying evil spirit with death attribute hidden here. ¡°Yes, Your Excellency Left Sword!¡± The experts of Blacksnake Clan accepted his orders, then dividing into ten groups, they spread out and entered deeper into this bamboo forest to look for Mei Chuanfeng. Everyone was tensely holding their sword and were very alert. Being able to be the bodyguard of noble son Blacksnake, all of them were elites of the clan. Without that middle-aged adviser saying anything, they knew that something was wrong with this bamboo forest. After watching them leave, the middle-aged adviser Left Sword also led a few guards and left. Although his heart was in jitters, he toughened his scalp and went deeper. Meanwhile, at one side of this bamboo forest, Ye Chuan was also tense. He suddenly raised his right hand to signal Zhu Sijia and others to stop. ¡°An aura of strong specter, Ghost King, I am sure this is the aura of a Ghost King. After millions of years, can it be that Wilderness World again gave rise to another Ghost King?¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and he slowly calmed down. Although he was still tense and feeling restless, there was also a hint of excitement. All under the heaven, no one was more familiar with this aura of bamboo forest than him, this former Heaven Concealing Great Sage. He had causally chosen this place to bury Mei Chuanfeng, but to his surprise, he unexpectedly encountered a slumbering Ghost King! Chapter 397: Ghost King Cloak Chapter 397: Ghost King Cloak After carefully walking through this bamboo forest for roughly an hour, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er finally arrived at the inner part of this bamboo forest. Now, there was a ghastly grotto in front of these two people. This grotto looked nothing unusual and since there were no traces of artificial carvings, this should be a natural cave. They also couldn¡¯t sense any hidden evil spirits inside. They could only see a piece of black cloak lying inside. And that gloomy aura which made people had their heart in jitters was coming from this cloak. ¡°Eh, Ghost King Cloak?¡± Ye Chuan was knowledgeable. He quickly recognized what this was and exclaimed in surprise. Ghost King Cloak, it was something only a Sage realm Ghost King could refine after living for at least more than one million years. And after wearing it, one could turn into a Night King, perfectly concealing one¡¯s track and aura, moreover, one could teleport within a limited range. It was even more powerful than Peerless Style Technique! Here, there was no Ghost King, was only this evil item sealed here?¡± Or to say, an incomparably powerful Ghost King had died here, leaving behind only this Ghost King Cloak? Ye Chuan took a few steps forward, but he suddenly stopped. Originally, he had determined that a powerful Ghost King had come into being in this bamboo forest, so he didn¡¯t dare to let Zhu Sijia and others follow in. Even he himself also carefully entered here to just take a look. He was ready to retreat at any time. But to his surprise, there was no Ghost King inside, only a piece of Ghost King Cloak. This however was a treasure on the same level as Heaven Burning Furnace. Wearing this Ghost King Cloak and wielding Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, who could stop his ambush everywhere under the heaven? The eyes of Ye Chuan gradually became scorching hot and his breathing also became heavy. As a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, there was no treasure he had never seen before, but now in this next life, although he was doing everything all over again, ordinary treasures still didn¡¯t enter his eyes. But, this Ghost King Cloak was different, even when he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, this kind of treasures was something that could only be found not sought. The heartbeat of Ye Chuan accelerated and he was itching to immediately rush over and pick up that Ghost King Cloak, but his reason was suppressing this impulse. This Ghost King Cloak was not simple. If it was truly thrown like this on the ground without any restriction and guards, then someone else would have already discovered it and taken it away, how could it be his turn? His reason and instinct that he had refined through countless stormy experiences made Ye Chuan calm down. This was his greatest wealth in this world and it was inexhaustible. He completely suppressed this impulse in his heart. And sure enough, Cyan Lotus Lamp within his body gradually pulsated and become hot, reacting to a strong danger. The danger was coming from this Ghost King Cloak that was silently laying on the ground. This is a trap! Ghost King Cloak was the bait, rushing over to pick it up was just courting death! The eyes of Ye Chuan shone and he didn¡¯t rush over to get a hold of that Ghost King Cloak instead retreated a few steps. In addition, he also instructed Little Long¡¯er to hide away. An indistinct sneer resounded within this bamboo forest as if someone was furious because Ye Chuan didn¡¯t swallow the bait. But, it also resembled that someone was laughing at Ye Chuan¡¯s timidity. However, listening carefully, it appeared as if this was just an illusion too. Ye Chuan was tense. He silently prepared himself and also raised his guard. As for Little Long¡¯er, he trembled and not daring to speak much, he quickly retreated to hide away and also prepared to provide for Ye Chuan support from the back. At that time, along with the sounds of footsteps, a powerful aura came from the dark. Ye Chuan looked up and saw a familiar figure. Blacksnake noble son Mei Chuanfeng was unexpectedly coming over from the opposite side of this bamboo forest, and seeing Ye Chuan, he was also pleasantly surprised, then he roared with laughter. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, brat, you are also here?¡± Noble son Mei Chuanfeng couldn¡¯t restrain the excitement in his heart and laugh heartily. Then, looking ferocious, he said: ¡°Heaven¡¯s will, Heaven¡¯s will, I didn¡¯t expect that today this noble son not only encounter a peerless treasure, but also can fulfill my wish by killing you, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Mei Chuanfeng was endlessly excited. It was unknown whether because it was dark inside the bamboo forest or other reasons, the handsome face of Mei Chuanfeng was somewhat twisted, looking even more gruesome at this moment. In addition, his eyes were sharp and frightening, thus, he gave a bad vibe. He appeared as if he was possessed by evil or he himself was an evil demon. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a peerless treasure, congratulation, noble son Mei Chuan.¡± Ye Chuan sneered and he clearly sensed the difference of this Mei Chuanfeng, so he became even more alert and retreated a few more steps back and said, ¡°Noble son Mei Chuan, misunderstanding, everything is a misunderstanding. I just came to take a look, I don¡¯t have any interest in this treasure inside the grotto. Feel free to take it away. In addition, if you truly like that Beauty Reef, then I can give it to you as a present, and hereafter, we will keep out of each other¡¯s affairs, how about it?¡± In this strange bamboo forest, he discovered this strange Ghost King Cloak, then encountered this abnormal Mei Chuanfeng, the more Ye Chuan thought, the stranger Ye Chuan felt and he slowly retreated. ¡°Hahaha, the cloak in the grotto is naturally mine, could it be that it¡¯s yours? As for that Beauty Reef, I naturally want it, but I also want your life, hahaha!¡± Mei Chuanfeng roared with laughter and suddenly rushing forward, he swung his hand, and a cold wind blew towards Ye Chuan. This cold wind seethed and instantly condensed into a blacksnake phantom, then a fishy smell spread throughout the sky. Blacksnake Scripture! The complexion of Mei Chuangfeng became ferocious and he used the deadly move of Blacksnake Clan to attack. This arrogant person wanted to quickly kill Ye Chuan and then go to the grotto to take away that Ghost King Cloak. He didn¡¯t know what was going on tonight but from the moment he stepped into this bamboo forest, his heartbeat had accelerated. He felt as if someone was calling him, so he had come all the way here. Originally, he had thought that he had run into some kind of big devils, but arriving in front of this grotto, he discovered that there was a peerless treasure in it. Even from so far away, he had sensed the aura of this peerless treasure and had come all the way here, moreover, it was readily available at this moment, genius, he was truly a genius! Not only a genius, how could a normal genius sense the aura of a treasure from so far away? How could they have such a good fortune? Mei Chuanfeng was very excited and aggressive. Ye Chuan suddenly swayed and using Cyan Feather Technique, he dodged this blacksnake phantom. With his doughty body and current cultivation level, he could easily block this attack of Mei Chuanfeng. Although the latter was a peak Daoist Master realm expert and Ye Chuan was not his opponent in a head-on battle, he could still easily fight head-on for a few rounds. But, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to take a risk at this moment. If he accidentally got injured, then he might not be able to leave this bamboo forest along with Little Long¡¯er. ¡°You truly have some skill, come again, if I don¡¯t kill you tonight, then I am not Blacksnake noble son, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan was careful, but Mei Chuanfeng was very aggressive. He suddenly took out a snakelike flying sword and rushed forward as if he would never stop unless he killed Ye Chuan. Chapter 398: Slumbering for millions of years Chapter 398: Slumbering for millions of years A series of violent attacks were becoming more and more ferocious, but Ye Chuan kept guarding and dodging. Sometimes, he was agile and vigorous like a cheetah, and sometimes, he was like a light, weightless leaf. The two people entered into an intense battle in the depth of this bamboo forest, and invisible shockwaves rolled up the bamboo leaves fallen to the ground and the bamboo trees around also began to make creaking sounds. But the light Ghost King Cloak on the ground was absolutely still as if the worlds inside and outside this grotto were completely separated by an invisible restriction. And the other mysterious matter was, the sinister aura was getting even denser. Ye Chuan was solemn in his heart. He had been continuously paying attention to the chance of this Ghost King Cloak, and he increasingly felt that something was wrong with it, so he wished to leave this place, but this Mei Chuanfeng was tangling with him like a madman, he was unable to get rid of him. ¡°Hahaha, brat, don¡¯t think of running away, today, you are dead, hahaha!¡± Mei Chuanfeng roared with laughter and seeing through the thoughts of Ye Chuan wanting to turn around and run away, he initiated even more ferocious attacks. First, kill Ye Chuan, then enter the grotto to pick up that Ghost King Cloak, tonight was perfect! ¡°Noble son Mei Chuan, stop going too far, don¡¯t force me. If you want that cloak inside the grotto, then take it away, no one wants to contend for it with you.¡± Ye Chuan dodged the snakelike flying sword of Mei Chuanfeng, and seeing that there was no end to this entanglement, his eyes shone with pallid light looking at Mei Chuanfeng. Having misgiving for that indescribable danger, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to fight here, but since this Mei Chuanfeng was pestering him so much, even a clay figurine would erupt! ¡°Hahaha, this noble son will push you to the dead end, what can you do? If you have the ability, then use it, and if not, then go to hell, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Mei Chuanfeng didn¡¯t restrain himself and used all his power to kill Ye Chuan as if he was mad, and his attack became more and more ferocious. Ye Chuan retreated a few steps back and looking at Mei Chuanfeng who was sticking to him like a shadow, he coldly snorted and just when he was about to use his Dragon Slaying Flying Sword to start the counterattack, a hint of red light suddenly streak across in the night sky. That was a red thread and it accurately wrapped around the neck of this Mei Chuanfeng, then putting for the strength, a deep bloody mark appeared on the latter¡¯s neck. ¡°Mei Chuanfeng, drop dead!¡± A powerful scream resounded as a woman rushed out from the bamboo forest. Redline Lady Chu Hongniang hastily rushed forward and pounced onto Mei Chuanfeng regardless of her safety. She wanted to kill her because her children were kidnapped by the people under this Mei Chuanfeng. Among those kidnapped children, only her son was rescued but he was on the verge of death and he had to be frozen over. As for her daughter, she however was still missing. Chu Hongniang was dying to eat his flesh and drink his blood! The snakelike flying sword of Mei Chuanfeng cut off the red thread wrapped around his neck and then he used his hand to feel around his neck, only to have his hand dye red with his own blood. His neck was nearly cut off by this red thread. Then, turning his head and seeing the figure of Chu Hongniang, he was greatly surprised and his complexion changed greatly. Unlike Ye Chuan, Redline Lady Chu Hongniang was a peak Daoist Master realm expert. Her cultivation was far higher than Ye Chuan¡¯s! The remaining half of the red thread in the hands of Chu Hongniang suddenly became straight, and like a javelin, they ferociously stabbed towards the chest of Mei Chuanfeng. In her hand, even an ordinary thread turned into an amazing killing weapon. Mei Chuanfeng¡¯s complexion changed and he hastily used his flying sword to block her attack, but his back was wide open to Ye Chuan. And at that moment, Ye Chuan who had just been dodging his attacks without counterattacking suddenly emitted a violent energy fluctuation as he circulated eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. ¡°No¡­¡­¡± The heart of Mei Chuanfeng thumped and noticed that something was wrong as he finally recalled that Ye Chuan was still standing behind him, so he wanted to dodge, but he was already too late. A blood-red flying sword ferociously pieced through the back of Mei Chuanfeng until its tip became visible from the other side. Immediately after that, an earth-shaking momentum poured in as Ye Chuan¡¯s ferocious palm attack landed on his back. Mei Chuanfeng vomited a mouthful of blood and his body was sent flying as if a kite with a broken string. In that instant, his internal organs seemed to have been shattered. Ye Chuan had always been careful and been wary of that indescribable danger, thus, he was unwilling to fight against Mei Chuanfeng, but, once there was a chance, he immediately initiated a ferocious attack using the strength of 144,000 jin. Just Dragon Slaying Sword had already inflicted a heavy injury to Mei Chuanfeng, adding his palm, this was directly taken half of his life! A scream resounded throughout the night sky of this bamboo forest. Mei Chuanfeng screamed in pain, and he just happened to fall right in front of the grotto and rolled to the front of that Ghost King Cloak. Then, opening his mouth, he vomited the blood which sprayed all over that Ghost King Cloak. A kilometer away, the complexion of middle-aged adviser Left Sword who had been looking all around for Blacksnake noble son suddenly changed and he rushed over hastily towards the origin of that scream. ¡°Mei Chuanfeng, go to hell!¡± Redline Lady Chu Hongniang screamed and holding the remaining red thread, she wanted to rush over and cut off the head of Mei Chuanfeng taking the advantage of this chance, but, a powerful big hand suddenly caught her shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t go, be careful!¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan was solemn and he stopped Chu Hongniang who was eager to take her revenge. ¡°You two are truly ruthless enough, just wait for me to wear this cloak, then I will kill both of you. However powerful you are, this treasure is mine! With this treasure, you two are dead, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Mei Chuanfeng roared with laughter as he crawled up. Even though he was just barely alive at this moment, he was still ferocious and his killing intent was dense as ever. But, just after he spoke, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Ye Chuan and Redline Lady Chu Hongniang didn¡¯t rush over to kill him taking advantage of this situation, rather they were standing there motionlessly with a great change in their complexion. At that moment, an indescribable feeling came from behind him. Mei Chuanfeng noticed that this was anything but reassuring and he slowly turned around. Instantly, his hands and legs became ice-cold and his heart nearly jumped out of his mouth. The cloak which was lying loosely on the ground unexpectedly rose slowly as if an invisible person was wearing it. In addition, the temperature of the surrounding fell rapidly and an ice-cold wind blew over bringing along an indistinct sneer. This sound appeared as if it was coming from the depth of the ground and also from beside their ears. Mei Chuanfeng shivered and his teeth chattered. He wanted to run away but his legs were soft. At this moment, if he didn¡¯t know something was wrong with this cloak, then he must be an idiot. Damn it! It was no wonder that that brat Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to get close to the grotto even though he had arrived first here. He had even said that he was not interested in this cloak. As it turned out, he had already sensed the danger and was intentionally making him have this bad luck. This damned brat! Mei Chuanfeng was scared and hated Ye Chuan to the extreme as he had just looked at him stepping on a trap with cold eyes. This brat was too sinister! ¡°Who are you? Did you wake this lordship up? Did a million years passed?¡± A faint voice came from the deep underground. Inside the grotto, a phantom slowly appeared inside Ghost King Cloak and a peerless energy fluctuation spread all around. Mei Chuanfeng was unable to even stand up as his legs had gone soft and helplessly watching this phantom gradually becoming clear, he trembled even more violently. A Ghost King who had been slumbering for an unknown number of years come into being in advance! The guess of Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t wrong, this place really had a terrifying Ghost King. Excitedly rushing over just after seeing this Ghost King Cloak was courting death! Chapter 399: The might of Ghost King ¡°Run!¡± Ye Chuan pulled Redline Chu Hongniang and quickly ran away from this place. Every Ghost King was an expert of Sage realm. The longer they had lived, the more terrifying they were. Some even retain their fate technique and a portion of memories before their death, which was even more terrible. They were heaven-defying existence. If Ye Chuan was still Heaven Concealing Great Sage, then the appearance of this kind of special ominous domain and encountering this kind of Ghost King was all he could wish for, but now, with only Rank 3 Daoist Master realm cultivation, even if he had treasures that protect him, they were useless. The other party could easily crush him. ¡°Running? After disturbing the slumber of this lordship, do you think that you can run away?¡± Ghost King smiled and with black light circulating around his Ghost King Cloak, he disappeared without a trace, then Ye Chuan who was retreating suddenly collided against Ghost King. In an instant, Ghost King had teleported behind Ye Chuan and he seemed to be standing still there, waiting for Ye Chuan to collide against him. It was unknown what technique he used but after the collision, the complexion of Ye Chuan became green and his entire muscles involuntarily trembled. ¡°Noble son, noble son Ye, what happened?¡± Redline Lady Chu Hongniang was also very nervous, but she still pressed the back of Ye Chuan and injected her vitality into his body. And at that moment, she discovered that there was a layer of translucent ice all over his body. His entire body was frozen stiff. Only a touch nearly took his life away. The cultivation of this Ghost King, what kind of realm had it reached? Chu Hongniang turned pale and became nervous like never before. Ye Chuan left out a muffled groan and slowly returned to normal under the help of Chu Hongniang but his heart was still trembling. He already knew how powerful a Ghost King was. In his previous life, he had once crashed his way through the Ghost King Palace of a Ghost King and personally cut off the latter¡¯s head, seizing the latter¡¯s life technique in passing. As for this Ghost King in front of him, it couldn¡¯t be considered that he had lived for a very long time, but his cultivation was vaguely above that Ghost King he had encountered in his previous life! Whoosh! In the bamboo forest, a cold wind blew out of nowhere, and Ghost King Robe this Ghost King was wearing again shone with a black light. He wanted to kill Ye Chuan, Redline Lady Chu Hongniang and Blacksnake noble son Mei Chuanfeng, these three people. But, he made his move against Ye Chuan first as he wanted to kill Ye Chuan first. Along these three people, the cultivation of Ye Chuan lowest, but it might be coincidence or Ghost King might have considered Ye Chuan was the most dangerous person among these three, he decided to make a move against Ye Chuan first. ¡°Noble son Ye, watch out, quickly run!¡± Chu Hongniang moved sideways and stood in front of Ye Chuan, then the remaining red thread in her hands shot out and wrapped around the neck of Ghost King, but before she could be happy, her hands and legs suddenly became cold, and on the contrary, Ghost King caught the red thread and pulled it without moving. This Ghost King with unfathomable cultivation base easily dealt with the attack of Redline Chu Hongniang, then, to the surprise of everyone, he just stood there blankly, watching Chu Hongniang who was standing in front of Ye Chuan. Moreover, a hint of warmth unexpectedly flashed through his ghastly and cold eyes as he muttered, ¡°Wif¡­¡­ wife, you¡­¡­, it¡¯s truly you, wife¡­¡­¡± This Ghost King who had just awakened from his slumber, after clearly seeing the appearance of Redline Lady Chu Hongniang stood there in a daze while muttering. He also knitted his brows, seemingly, he was recalling his long-lost memory fragments covered in dust. ¡°Let go!¡± Redline Lady Chu Hongniang did her utmost to pull off the red thread this Ghost King was grabbing, but she could do nothing. She turned her head and looked at Ye Chuan who was seriously injured, then suddenly made a startling movement. She directly rushed towards Ghost King and attacked his chest while saying, ¡°Noble son Ye, quickly run away and help me take care of Jiajia, quick!¡± Just after a round of attack, Chu Hongniang knew that she was far from being the opponent of this Ghost King. Even if her husband who was known as White Tiger Sage was present here, they together still wouldn¡¯t be the opponent of this Ghost King, even running away would be impossible. Thus, in order to stall Ghost King and make a chance for Ye Chuan to run and to repay the kindness of Ye Chuan saving herself and her son, Chu Hongniang decided to rush forward! ¡°Lady¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan reached out wanting to stop Chu Hongniang, unfortunately, he only caught a piece of Chu Hongniang¡¯s clothing. Now far away, Mei Chuanfeng reacted quicker. Taking advantage of this occasion, he quickly ran away like a mad. He knew that Redline Lady Chu Hongniang was powerful, but even a peak Daoist Master realm expert couldn¡¯t withstand a single attack of this Ghost Han and he also wasn¡¯t the opponent of this Ghost King. Once this Ghost Kind woke up from his daze, it would be impossible to run away! A black light flashed and Mei Chuanfeng stepped on his snakelike flying sword, desperately running away like mad. Now, what Ghost King Cloak, what hatred, everything was already tossed away, he only had one thought in his mind, that was, immediately escape from this bamboo forest and go as far away as possible form this Cyan Sand Island. After making a debut many years ago, Mei Chuanfeng had seen many powerful experts. Some of them were overseas loose cultivators who had lived in seclusion for thousands of years and had amazing cultivation base. But, in front of this Ghost King, all of them pale into insignificance by comparison. ¡°In my Ghost Domain, all living beings are the slaves of this lordship, do you still think that you can run away?¡± Ghost King who seemed to be in a daze suddenly made a move. Using his unique Ghost Domain, a gruesome black halo quickly spread out. Then, Mei Chuanfeng who was desperately running away stepping on his flying sword suddenly paused and flew back to the front of this Ghost King as if he was being pulled by an invisible force. Then, this Ghost King bit in his neck and red blood continuously flowed into the body of Ghost King. ¡°Tsk tsk, truly is a rare delicacy, I haven¡¯t tasted this kind of blood for a long time. Boy, offer your flesh, blood and spirit, and let this lordship get back to shape, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Ghost King clicked his tongue in praise as he sucked the blood and vital energy of Mei Chuanfeng. Then, his emaciated body slowly began to become full as he roared with laughter. ¡°Little Long¡¯er!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly swayed violently, then leaving behind afterimages, he retreated and used peerless style technique to dodge that terrifying Ghost King Domain. A robust demonic dragon suddenly rushed out from the bamboo forest and directly holding Ye Chuan in his mouth, it soared away. And just after one human and one dragon took off, the entire bamboo forest below was shrouded with that terrifying black halo. In addition, the ghostly aura gave rise to countless ghost phantom which turned into a death domain with evil qi all over. A hundred meters away from that grotto, middle-aged adviser Left Sword didn¡¯t even have time to turn around and run for his life. His entire body suddenly shook as this black light eroded his vitality, and after he died, he became an ice-cold zombie. ¡°Eh, a demonic dragon?¡± Ghost King looked up and exclaimed in surprised seeing Little Long¡¯er in the sky. Whoosh! The atmosphere around this place suddenly changed and a huge face suddenly appeared in the sky, wanting to shallow both Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er! This huge face was nearly half as big as this Cyan Sand Island. Instantly, everyone on Cyan Sand Island woke up with a start and seeing this huge face with an opened mouth in the sky, they trembled. Even people in the merchant ships more than 100 miles away from this island, seeing this face with an opened mouth, they had their heat in jitters and they quickly turned around their ships to leave this place. Chapter 400: King of Darkness ¡°Little Long¡¯er, speed up!¡± Ye Chuan crazily circulated eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and injected all his energy into the body of Little Long¡¯er. Roar! Little Long¡¯er raised his head and roared. Even his tough body was quickly unable to endure the violent energy Ye Chuan was injecting. Still, the size of his body increased and his speed accelerated, narrowly dodging the attack of this Ghost King. ¡°Damn it, this is a superior demonic dragon, when did the imperial bloodline of Demonic Dragon Clan spread to this place?¡± In the bamboo forest, Ghost King with heaven-defying cultivation base angrily cursed as he was forced to reluctantly watch one human and one dragon flew farther and farther away. In the sky, that terrifying huge face slowly disappeared, but Cyan Sand Island was still bustling. People were escaping from this island together with their families in succession. Among all the powers of this island, only Treasure Gathering House remained calm. And a grey robed old man with a long beard to his waist had appeared at the top of the tallest building of this Treasure Gathering House at an unknown time and he was absent-mindedly looking towards that bamboo forest. ¡°A Ghost King, a Demonic Dragon¡­¡­, the great change is about to arrive, now, will all monsters and demons hiding deep underground appear?¡± This grey robed old man muttered to himself and his energy fluctuation was unexpectedly not any inferior to Plague Archfiend Abasi. Seeing him, this master of Treasure Gathering House, was so calm, tense guards also became a bit calmer. They didn¡¯t disperse in confusion like other powers. The appearance of Ghost King, that even alerted the master of Treasure Gathering House who had been in seclusion for many years. In the bamboo forest, Mei Chuanfeng weakly struggled as his aura was getting weaker and weaker. Seeing that Ye Chuan was unexpectedly able to escape this disaster, his heart was filled with envy and jealousy. He also wanted to struggle free and escape, unfortunately, he was suppressed by Ghost King and his blood was continuously flowing into the body of Ghost King, making him weaker and weaker. Now that he clearly saw that there was no hope of survival, this fellow who considered himself best in the world in former days couldn¡¯t help wailing mournfully. Not far away from him, Redline Chu Hongniang was not wounded, but she was similarly suppressed so she was unable to escape. ¡°Give me blood, give me power, I want this entire Wilderness World to turn into my Ghost Domain, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Ghost King roared with laughter and his voice reverberated throughout the sky of this Cyan Sand Island like thunder. ¡°No¡­¡­, don¡¯t kill me, I am the next patriarch of Blacksnake Clan, I can give you many treasures.¡± Mei Chuanfeng wailed mournfully as he begged for his life. In former days, he set himself high above the masses and considered himself the best in the world, but now, he was begging bitterly to keep on living. He didn¡¯t want to die, he really didn¡¯t want to die! The higher the cultivation base, the higher the power and the more one didn¡¯t want to die. This colorful world, he was still far from enjoying enough! ¡°This lordship wants blood and soul. Your blood, offering to this great lord Dusen is your honor!¡± Ghost King Dusen tightened the grip on the neck of Mei Chuanfeng and absorbed the essence blood of Mei Chuanfeng. Then, in an extremely short period of time, he turned into a tall and handsome youth from a skinny skeleton. And with that Ghost King Cloak he was wearing, his momentum was imposing just like the Emperor that ruled the empire for all eternity. ¡°I have, I can offer you endless blood. The East Sea under the control of my Blacksnake Clan has a huge population, in addition, I also have 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls. Don¡¯t kill me, please spare my life, Lord, don¡¯t kill me¡­¡­¡± Mei Chuanfeng begged for his life. ¡°8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls?¡± Ghost King Dusen¡¯s eyes shone and his eyes became scorching hot. This time, due to the trio of Ye Chuan, he woke up in advance and his seclusion cultivation was interrupted, so he urgently needed a lot of pure and first class blood to reconstruct his body. ¡°Yes, if 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls are not enough, I still can offer you even more delicacy!¡± Mei Chuanfeng hastily nodded his head seeing a slim chance of survival. As long as he could keep on living, what 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls, even if it was 80,000 virgin boys and virgin girls, he wouldn¡¯t hesitate to offer! ¡°Mei Chuanfeng, you are a beast, no, you are a scum inferior to a beast!¡± Redline Lady Chu Hongniang gnashed his teeth. She couldn¡¯t wait to personally cut off the head of this Mei Chuanfeng. The latter offered 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls, perhaps, her daughter was among them. Just thinking of this, the heart of Chu Hongniang bled with blood and she wanted to kill Mei Chuanfeng regardless of anything. Unfortunately, under the suppression of that Ghost King Dusen, she couldn¡¯t move at all, she could only watch the shamelessness of Mei Chuanfeng. ¡°Hahaha, good, lead this lordship to where those 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls are and you will not die. Wife, wait for me to reconstruct Golden Body and become the King of Darkness, then this Wilderness World will be ours, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Ghost King Dusen roared with laughter, then holding Redline Lady Chu Hongniang with his left hand and dragging Mei Chuanfeng with his right hand, he suddenly harnessed the ill wind and left. After arriving at the sea coast, he flew over and hijacked the merchant boat, then sailed towards the East Sea. Although there was no wind at this moment and other boats were sailing very slowly, the merchant ship where Ghost King was boarded was very fast, streaking across the sea surface, bringing along a cold wind. And wherever he went, the seawater seemed to become black, changing into a strange Ghost Domain where no one could approach. Ghost King hijacked a merchant ship and quickly left, behind, Cyan Sand Island however was unable to calm down. People were in a state of anxiety. On sea dragon boat not far away from the coast, Sea Demon warriors and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were also terrifying. Each and every one of them looked pale. That huge face that was as big as half the entire Cyan Sand Island and that frightening aura they could sense from far away made everyone felt unfathomable fear. Ye Chuan stood on the deck watching the merchant ship where Ghost King Gusen had boarded. He also looked pale. Just a moment ago, he and Little Long¡¯er had nearly lost their lives. ¡°King of Darkness, finally a Ghost King has come into being and he wants to step into that legendary Dark King realm to become a Dark King?¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself as he heart shook. When he was still Heaven Concealing Great Sage, there was an ancient legend in Wilderness World. A Dark King would eventually appear in this world and the boundless darkness would envelop the entire world. At that time, the Wilderness World would end. This was commonly called Judgment Day Disaster. In addition, on that day, from the common people to ancient Sages, all would become the slave of this Dark King. The huge sea dragon boat slowly began to sail away from the restless Cyan Sand Island. Sea Demon Patriarch ordered to set sail overnight and after inspecting all around, he came to the side of Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, don¡¯t think so much, although that Ghost King is powerful, he had already gone far away. All the bad luck will befall onto Blacksnake Clan in the East Sea, we should just continue to go southward to the holy land of our Sea Demon Clan. And after obtaining Neptune Horn, the scared item of our clan, we can truly sweep over four seas, even if we encounter that Ghost King, we do not need to fear!¡± Originally, they stopped at Cyan Sand Island to replenish their fresh water and other necessities. But beyond their imagination, such a big mishap happened. This old man was truly scared, so he ordered to sail straight towards the holy land of Sea Demon Clan, worrying a long delay means trouble. ¡°Patriarch, how far is East Sea from here?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly asked. ¡°It¡¯s very far, it will take at least seven days and seven night even at the full speed of this sea dragon boat.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch subconsciously replied, then he came back to his sense and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, why are you asking this? Could it be that you want to go to East Sea¡­¡­¡± ¡°Yes, we are going to East Sea, we cannot let Chu Hongniang fall into the hands of that Ghost King. Besides, this is also the best chance to uproot Blacksnake Clan. Patriarch, you also don¡¯t want Blacksnake Clan killing to our sect and snatch Heavenly Dragon Rice someday, right? Do you know, I originally snatched the Heaven Dragon Rice seed from the outer sect elder Dark Tree Monarch of Blacksnake Clan? So, even if we don¡¯t go to look for Blacksnake Clan, someday, they will kill to our sect. Especially that Mei Chuanfeng, if he is not killed, then it is definitely nurturing a trigger!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and looked towards the direction Ghost King had went. The more dangerous the palace, the more opportunities there were, and he absolutely cannot be soft-hearted and not uproot Blacksnake Clan. In addition, there was a secret Ye Chuan had not told anyone. The totem of Blacksnake Clan, i.e., blacksnake embroidered on their sleeves, he indistinctly felt that it was familiar and he recalled an enemy of his past life. This time, Blacksnake Clan wanted to offer 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls to summon Blacksnake Archfiend, perhaps, he might be his old acquaintance. At that time, he was trapped in God Burial Valley, that might very probably be the favor of him. Some things that should come would still come in the end! The heart of Ye Chuan was heavy but he didn¡¯t choose to evade. Chapter 401: Bai Rulong The huge sea dragon boat turned around and headed for the distant East Sea. Compared to ordinary boats, the speed of sea dragon boat was much faster, but even after sailing for three days and three nights, they couldn¡¯t see even the shadow of that merchant ship hijacked by that Ghost King Dusen. On the contrary, they discovered that the islands on the way were all eroded by inexplicable dark power and many evil creatures had climbed out from the bottom of the sea and had invaded and occupied the islands located on the way. As for the original inhabitants of these islands, either they were besieged by those evil creatures or were eroded by that pitch-black energy. Even some overseas loose cultivators who had been in seclusion for many years were unable to escape and turned into devils that killed everyone around them. All along the way, the sea dragon boat suffered many attacks from many of these devils. The power of this Ghost King was far beyond anyone could imagine. Just seeing the changes en route, both Sea Demon warriors and disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were terrified. Ye Chuan was also shocked, but he became even more determined to go to East Sea. On the fourth day, sea dragon boat finally entered the East Sea and also entered the periphery of Blacksnake Clan¡¯s territory. From this point on, the islands en route looked nothing different. It seemed that that Ghost King had finally restrained his aura or he was finally able to freely control the dark power within his body. All along the way, sea dragon boat no longer ran into the attacks of overseas loose cultivators who had transformed into devils, but slowly another type of trouble appeared. They frequently encountered the harassment of Blacksnake Clan¡¯s warships. Perhaps, they got some news to expand the limit of their defense, or perhaps, they were going all around to capture virgin boys and virgin girls, the distinctive Blacksnake warships of Blacksnake Clan were sailing everywhere. This kind of boats was not big and it could accommodate only a dozen or so people, but the speed was fast. Looking at them from far away, these boats resembled huge black seabirds flying above the sea. So, they were commonly known as Blacksnake Airship. Not long after entering East Sea, sea dragon boat encountered several blacksnake boats, and when they saw sea dragon boat, the warriors of Blacksnake Clan got excited. Every one of them held swords and rushed towards them, attempting to hijack sea dragon boat. Overseas World was full of the slave trade. Sea Demon Clan, regardless of male or female, all looked outstanding, so they had always been best-seller goods in the slave market. Just one sea demon could fetch sky high price. The rampant warriors of Blacksnake Clan had always been extremely vicious, but, when they boarded the sea dragon boat, they however were dumbfounded. A large group of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples was waiting for them and they welcomed them with dragon headed flying crossbows. Ye Chuan was unwilling to deliberately complicate an issue and hoped to rush over to East Sea, but he also will never be softhearted on the warriors of Blacksnake Clan who didn¡¯t have eyes and jump in front of him. The closer they got to the lair of Blacksnake Clan, Blacksnake Island, they encountered more fellows without eyes. On the fifth day, at daybreak, the warriors of Sea Demon Clan suddenly screamed. Walking over to the deck and watching, they saw a dozen or so blacksnake boats in front of them and sharp arrows whistled towards them. It seemed they had coincidentally encountered a group of blacksnake boats, or Blacksnake Clan learned the position of sea dragon boat, thus, they gathered elite troops to intercept. ¡°Speed up, detour from the northern side, shake them off!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch gave orders. The huge sea dragon boat accelerated and under full power, it was faster than those blacksnake boats. But, another group of blacksnake boats appeared from the north and two groups of blacksnake boats made a pincer attack from the front and back. The complexion of sea demon warriors became tense, but they jumped into the sea to prevent the warriors of Blacksnake Clan from launching a surprise attack. They didn¡¯t fear to jump off the boat, they only feared that this boat would be damaged. This was the final sea dragon boat of Sea Demon Clan, it would be troublesome if it was destroyed and sunk. ¡°Prepare dragon headed flying crossbows and kill them!¡± Zhu Sijia ordered and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect quickly used dragon headed flying crossbows and flying swords to attack. But, the two groups of blacksnake boats were approaching closer and closer and a large scale battle was on the verge of breaking out. Ye Chuan also held Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, preparing to take action. Even Plague Archfiend Abasi who suffered from seasickness and feared water also headed to the deck preparing to battle. At that time, a small wooden boat suddenly appeared at the distant. Only a white robed man was standing on it. He was tall and straight with a sword hung on his waist. And he alone rushed towards the group of blacksnake boats. Also, that small wooden boat didn¡¯t seem to have any formations, but its speed was faster than blacksnake boats. The group of blacksnake boats quickly fell into chaos. The warriors rushed to the deck and shot arrows towards that white robed man. But, no amount of arrows could stop that white robed man. He boarded the boats and quickly, screaming sounds resounded in succession along with sword qi sweeping all over. Not a single warrior of Blacksnake Clan could block the attack of this white robed man. In less than half an hour, the entire army of Blacksnake Clan was wiped out. Now, corpses were floating on the sea dying this area of sea red. On sea dragon boat, sea demon warriors and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were tense. They were nervous and also surprised. They wondered from where this peak expert suddenly popped up from. Just looking at the tall and straight figure of this white robe man, Plague Archfiend Abasi also narrows his eyes and became solemn. He could sense that this person was not any inferior to him. This white robed man who killed all around was also Half-Sage realm heaven-defying expert like him. After killing all the warriors of Blacksnake Clan, this white robed man suddenly jumped towards sea dragon boat and needless to speak, the people on the sea dragon boat became even more nervous. ¡°No need to fear, he is White Dragon Sage, Redline Lady Chu Hongniang¡¯s husband Bai Rulong!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch suddenly said. Although this old man was old, his eyes were sharp. He quickly recognized the identity of this white robed man when he approached. Sure enough, although the speed of this white robed man was fast and he approached sea dragon boat, they didn¡¯t feel any malicious or killing intent from him. In addition, when he was 10 meters away, he suddenly flew higher and landed on the deck of this sea dragon boat. Then, looking at everyone, this white robed man asked, ¡°May I ask, who is noble son Ye?¡± ¡°I am, you are¡­¡­, husband of Chu Hongniang, Bai Rulong?¡± Ye Chuan stepped forward and looking at Bai Rulong, he recalled a person. That person was Nan Tiandu who had stayed behind to guard Cloud Mist Sect. These two people were similarly tall and straight and similarly cold in manner. Merely, White Dragon Sage had a good long-standing reputation, but Nan Tiandu had yet to display his brilliance in front of common people and he needed further training. ¡°Yes, I am Bai Rulong, noble son, thank you for saving the life of my wife and son. Jiajia, where is she, can you take me to see him?¡± The cultivation of Bai Rulong was heaven defying and he had a cold temperament, but he greatly respected Ye Chuan. And after boarding the ship, he was impatient to see his son. ¡°White Dragon Sage, you know everything?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised, but he quickly brought Bai Rulong inside the cabin. ¡°I have already received the letter of Hongniang. Mei Chuanfeng has already returned to Blacksnake Residence four days ago, and no need to speak that his cultivation had risen rapidly, he quickly grasped the power of Blacksnake Clan. You need to be careful, noble son. Jiajia, I will trouble you all to help take care of him for a period of time.¡± Bai Rulong looked at his frozen son inside the crystal coffin. Then, turning around, he jumped back to his small wooden boat and sail away quickly, leaving behind only those words. When Ye Chuan and others chased back to the deck, he had already reached far away, becoming a small white dot on the sea surface. He was going to the lair of Blacksnake Clan alone to rescue his wife and daughter. All along the way, he had already killed countless experts of Blacksnake Clan, in any case, he killed one when he saw one. Four days ago, Blacksnake noble son Mei Chuanfeng had returned to Blacksnake Residence. In other words, he and Ghost King had only spent one day to arrive here from far away Cyan Sand Island. The complexion of Ye Chuan and Sea Demon Patriarch changed simultaneously, in addition, another bigger doubt appeared in their mind. Wasn¡¯t Mei Chuanfeng caught by that Ghost King, how could his cultivation suddenly skyrocket, could it be that¡­¡­ The eyebrows of Ye Chuan jumped up. This trip to East Sea had become even more dangerous. Chapter 402: Blacksnake Residence On the seventh day, at the beginning of the night, Ye Chuan and his group finally arrived at their destination, Blacksnake Residence. This was a huge island, or one could say that it was a continent in the sea. Although it was not comparable to Heavenly Fire Continent in size, it was much larger than other ordinary islands and it had millions of people living here. This island was the largest island in the entire East Sea and also was most prosperous, in addition, it was the lair of Blacksnake Clan. With the cover of the night, sea dragon boat docked at one inconspicuous corner of this island, moreover, since it was a flat boat, it was hidden under the dense seagrasses. Just like in Cyan Sand Island, Sea Demon Clan didn¡¯t dare to disembark, only the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect quietly disembarked and went ashore under the moonlight. Zhu Sijia led Old Demon of Mount Yin and others to replenish the essential materials. And Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er disguised themselves and went towards Blacksnake Villa of Blacksnake Residence, preparing to find out the whereabouts of Chu Hongniang and also look into the circumstance of Mei Chuanfeng. Under the dim moonlight, many small alleys were shrouded in darkness. Like most of the cities in mainland, Blacksnake Residence also had many slumps. There were ragged and old houses very close to each other and the passage was narrow and dark. In addition, the ditches along the road emitted unpleasant odors. The poor accounts for the vast majority of wherever they were. Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er wearing a big bamboo hat walked through winding and twisting alleys, especially taking remote paths. When they arrived at the territory of Mei Chuanfeng, they became even more careful than when they were in Cyan Sand Island. Miaow, a big black cat suddenly jumped in front of them. It was big and fleshy and its eyes emitted dim green light. In addition, it had sharp claws. It ferociously stared at Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er, then pounced onto them. Not only it didn¡¯t fear human, but it also wanted to take the initiative to attack. Roar! Little Long¡¯er let out a low dragon roar and slightly emitted a hint of his demonic dragon aura. Immediately after that, that big black cat turned around and instantly jumping over a ten meters tall tree, it disappeared into the night. It was faster than a Xiushi realm cultivator. The two people continued to advance and became even more cautious. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, didn¡¯t you feel that that big black cat of just a moment ago was somewhat abnormal?¡± After walking for a little while, Little Long¡¯er was unable to endure and broke the silence. ¡°Mmm, it clearly is already demonized.¡± Without lowering his speed, Ye Chuan continued to advance forward in a constant pace and indifferently said, ¡°Not only that black cat, many living beings of Blacksnake Residence have already been demonized and eroded by dark power. Every place a Ghost King goes, he would bring a disaster in that place. Moreover, the longer he stays in one place, the more the people of that place will be affected. If this continues, then it will not take long for this Blacksnake Residence to turn into a Ghost Domain that prohibits living beings.¡± Ye Chuan was calm. This change of Blacksnake Residence was already within his expectation. He flicked his finger and a fly buzzing around their head fell to the ground. The head of this fly was much larger than usual flies, and there was two budges on its head that resembled a pair of tiny horns. Its appearance was strange and its temperament was fierce, clearly was also eroded by dark power and mutated. Little Long¡¯er was inwardly scared and closely followed behind Ye Chuan. As a demonic dragon, he was tough physically and superior innately, but his disposition was similar to an ordinary seven or eight-year-old child. He had never seen such a strange thing. Ye Chuan however was almost exactly the opposite, he had experienced unknown numbers of stormy waves in his previous life. He just indifferently crushed a mutated lizard and continued to advance forward without any change in expression. Behind him, Little Long¡¯er however was screaming in his heart. AOO! A howl of a wolf suddenly came from the dark. Shortly afterward, chaotic screams resounded along with a female voice screaming for help and wailing. This noise was coming from another alley not far away from them. ¡°Not good, there is a dog that is demonized, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly sped up and rushed towards a seven or eight meters tall wall. And when was about to collide with this wall, he instantly jumped over this wall. Little Long¡¯er also followed closely behind. The two people, one in the front and the other in the back, jumped over a wall and landed on the other dark alley, then, they jump to the roof and quickly rushed forward towards the origin of that noise. At one courtyard, a big black dog had ferociously pushed down a young girl. The clothing of this young girl had already been torn to shreds and she was half naked. The family members of this young girl held pickaxe, sickle and other farm tools, then rushed forward while screaming to save this young girl, but this demonized dog didn¡¯t retreat in fear rather pounced forward. Not only they were unable to save this young girl, a middle-aged man also was bitten by this black dog. A large piece of his shoulder flesh was torn off by this black dog and blood flowed out, but the blood was black in color as if he was poisoned. Now, the family members could only wail helplessly. ¡°Little Long¡¯er!¡± Ye Chuan coldly called out and Little Long¡¯er immediately rushed forward, then without transforming into a demonic dragon, he directly punched. Aoo! The demonized dog opened its mouth to bite. It still didn¡¯t move away from that young girl. It was unwilling to give up halfway. Dong, this demonized dog was sent flying away by the punch of Little Long¡¯er. Little Long¡¯er was angry, and as if a shadow, he chased after this demonized dog. Even without transforming into a dragon, his power was astonishing. After three punches and two kicks, this strong demonized dog collapsed in its pool of blood and stopped moving. As for Ye Chuan, he didn¡¯t make any move, he walked over to the wounded middle-aged man, then after examining his wound, he threw down a bottle of medicinal pills and said, ¡°You are poisoned with corpse poison, orally take one pill per day.¡± After instructing, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er turned around and left, quickly advancing towards Blacksnake Villa. Behind, those people finally came back to their senses and they wanted to express their thanks, but they discovered that Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er had already disappeared without a trace. After taking several more twists and turns, Ye Chuan increased his speed. The matters were worse than he had expected. The cultivation of that Ghost King who had woken up in advance was rising steadily. Perhaps, he was getting energy from the Ghost King Cloak he was wearing or perhaps, he absorbed a large amount of blood and qi. Yes, Ghost King Dusen must have absorbed a lot of blood and qi, in exchange, no need to mention he spared Mei Chuanfeng, he also used a heaven-defying technique to help Mei Chuanfeng rise his cultivation base. Mei Chuanfeng, that bastard was using Ghost King! Ye Chuan roughly understood what was going on, and his complexion became ice-cold. Who was Mei Chuanfeng? He was a cruel and ruthless person who only had strength and power in his eyes. In addition, he had even gone to Cyan Sand Island to kidnap 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls, he naturally didn¡¯t care about the life of average people of this Blacksnake Residence. With the help of this local thug, the danger of Ghost King suddenly magnified by several times. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, swallow this pill.¡± Ye Chuan took out two pills that neutralize corpse poison, then handing one over to Little Long¡¯er, he swallowed the remaining one to be prepared, just in case. Now, Blacksnake Villa that was located halfway up the mountain was not far away from them, moreover, he could sense powerful auras in that villa. It seemed there were many experts there, and the dark power was also the strongest there, clearly, Ghost King Dusen was also there. Chapter 403: A big chess game After instructing Little Long¡¯er to wait outside for his signal, Ye Chuan sneaked into Blacksnake Villa alone. It was called villa, but its area was even larger than most of the sects. There were mountains, rivers and even lakes within this villa. In addition, there were also big and small paths within this mountain villa, and patrolling guards with torch frequently walked past those paths. In the sky, there was obscure energy fluctuation, naturally, there were invisible restrictions. Ye Chuan wearing black robe and big bamboo hate silently entered this villa as if a ghost. His tall and straight body appeared as if it didn¡¯t have any weight and he easily avoided the patrolling guards and restrictions all along the road. In Blacksnake Villa, there were countless detection restrictions. If any other person was in the place of Ye Chuan, then, even if he was peak Daoist Master realm expert, he would also not be able to sneak in without anybody knowing like Ye Chuan. As Heaven Concealing Great Sage who once concealed the heaven with his hand, there were not many restrictions he had not seen, so easily avoided the restrictions within Blacksnake Villa. In Blacksnake Villa, there were also many restrictions that were already lost in mainland, but they didn¡¯t pose a problem for him. If he had brought along Little Long¡¯er, then it might not be so easy. Under the dim light of night, Ye Chuan passed through buildings, holding a piece of torn cloth. This was the piece of cloth torn from the clothing of Redline Chu Hongniang when they were in the bamboo forest of Cyan Sand Island. Relying on this piece of cloth, Ye Chuan carefully wandered around Blacksnake Villa, looking for the whereabouts of Chu Hongniang. Since Ghost King Dusen was in Blacksnake Villa, Chu Hongniang must also be somewhere here. But, beyond his expectation, even after looking for a long time, he was unable to find the whereabouts of Chu Hongniang. He could vaguely feel a weak response, but he was unable to accurately pinpoint her position. Ye Chuan stopped. He understood that the matters were more difficult than he had imagined. Clearly, either Chu Hongniang was imprisoned deep underground or someone had used some kind of restriction on her, making her aura very weak. Now, it was impossible to find her with only this piece of cloth. A fire illuminated the front and a group of patrolling guards walked over with a torch. Seeing this, Ye Chuan immediately hid in a bush. ¡°Third brother, did you see something?¡± A short guard walking in the front felt like he saw something, so raising the torch in his hand, he scanned all around. ¡°I saw an assassin, he had three heads and six arms.¡± The tall guard walking behind laughed and patted the shoulder of the short guard as he added, ¡°I didn¡¯t see anything, what is there? It is only a gust of wind. Who doesn¡¯t have eyes and dare to sneak into our Blacksnake Villa? Even if someone sneaked in, what is this place? This is this sleeping quarters of Blacksnake noble son, there are layer upon layer of restrictions. Who can come here without anybody knowing? Don¡¯t stand there stupidly, let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Exactly, Aizi must have entangled with that prostitute for a long time, so he is weak and he began to see things, hahaha¡­¡­¡± A few guards laughed and went away. That short guard shook his head and also thought that that was just his misconception, then he followed after them. And after they left, Ye Chuan slowly walked out from the dark. ¡°Sleeping quarter of Blacksnake noble son Mei Chuanfeng?¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and looking all around, he quickly discovered a sumptuous palace and a cold smile appeared on his face. Late at night, the other places of this Blacksnake Villa was blackened and quiet, but this sumptuous palace was still lit up. Ye Chuan quietly used Cyan Feather Technique and quietly arrived outside this palace like a gust of wind, then he hung down from the eaves of this palace and looked inside via window. Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure. On the platform of the hall, there was a big bed that could accommodate more than a dozen people together. A fine gauze was hung half way down the bed and one could indistinctly see several beautiful half naked women on the bed. In the midst of these women, there was a young man. He was handsome, merely the sinister air he was emitting made people uncomfortable. That young man was none other than Blacksnake noble son Mei Chuanfeng. Below on the hall, a few trusted subordinates were standing. Sensing the energy fluctuation within their body, all of them were peak experts. ¡°Noble son, matters have already been arranged, Sixth Elder has already received the gifts we sent. Merely¡­¡­, merely Sixth Elder seemed to be not satisfied, he ignored the gifts.¡± A black robed middle-aged man standing at the left side said. He was somewhat hesitating for fear that he would infuriate this Blacksnake noble son. He also didn¡¯t dare to raise his head and look at those several beauties on the bed. But, his throat was a little dry as he was secretly coveting those beauties on the bed, however, he didn¡¯t dare to raise his head even if was given the guts of leopard. The sexuality of snakes was very indiscriminate, in this respect, Blacksnake Clan had always been making others bristle with anger. They would lay hands on all the people, ignoring moral principles and ethics, and Blacksnake noble son Mei Chuanfeng was an outstanding person among them. All the women he took a fancy upon were first-class beauties. Without looking at them, just listening to their faint breathing, these trusted subordinates standing below felt extremely thirsty and they felt hot. ¡°Humph, that insatiable old dog!¡± Blacksnake noble son coldly snorted, then stretching out his hand, he pinched one woman and said, ¡°But, like this is also good, I am not afraid of that old dog being greedy, I just fear that he will not receive. Go, double the amount of gift, then deliver them to that old dog again. Be sure to make him support our operation.¡± ¡°Yes, noble son!¡± The black robed middle-aged man bowed, accepting the order and then added, ¡°Third Elder¡¯s place, this subordinate went there several times but I was refused. Tonight also, I was chased away. Noble son, you see¡­¡­¡± ¡°Recently, Blacksnake Residence has not been peaceful and tranquil. Many demonized living beings had appeared. In addition, I heard that the experts of some clans had already been killed. Truly is a pity, heh heh.¡± Mei Chuanfeng sneered and holding beauties in both hands, he suddenly pressed the head of a woman towards his lower part, ignoring the trusted subordinates below. ¡°Okay, this subordinate understand what to do. But, the cultivation of Third Elder is high and several powerful bodyguards follow around him all year round, so when we make a move, I fear¡­¡­¡± The black robed middle-aged man understood the meaning of Blacksnake noble son. ¡°I¡¯ll take care of it, as long as you all deal with this matter without leaving any clue, it is fine. I have a Sage realm expert working for me, whoever I want dead would be dead, hahahaha¡­¡­ This Blacksnake Residence is mine, I am well-deserved patriarch!¡± Mei Chuanfeng roared with laughter and tightly grabbed the twin peaks of a woman and the latter shed tears in pain. But it appeared as if the more unbearable the pain and the more miserable a women looked, the louder Blacksnake noble son laughed. The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead. From the time Mei Chuanfeng returned from Cyan Sand Island, his cultivation had reached higher and he had become even more insolent and lawless. ¡°Noble son, there is another matter, according to the report of Blacksnake guards, White Dragon Sage has come all the way to Blacksnake Residence. I fear he wants to sneak into our Blacksnake Villa and create a disturbance. In addition, the youngster surnamed Ye, whom you had ordered to keep a close eye on, has suddenly disappeared without a trace, it is very likely that he has also arrived at Blacksnake Residence.¡± ¡°Ye¡­¡­ Chuan¡­¡­, finally, that brat is coming. This noble son has been waiting for him for a long time. It is good that he came, hahahaha¡­..¡± Mei Chuanfeng suddenly turned around and sat up. Now, he was gritting his teeth as his eyes emitted pallid light. He had succeeded in swindling Ghost King Dusen, and using a large number of tributes, he had made him his butcher¡¯s knife. Now, he was in the next big chess game, ready to launch internal strife to ascend onto the throne of Patriarch. Although he had already been designated as the next Patriarch, he was already very impatient, he couldn¡¯t wait any longer. These past few days, he had a great harvest, and the certainty had gotten bigger and bigger, making him be wild. The only matter that made him displeased was Ye Chuan. If he could smoothly ascend to the throne of Patriarch and kill that brat Ye Chuan, then how perfect his life would be! Mei Chuanfeng emitted dense killing intent. He was looking forward to personally chop the head of Ye Chuan to vent off all his anger. Chapter 404: Two faced person After reporting, those trusted subordinates quietly withdrew, but Mei Chuanfeng no longer had any mood to make merry. He jumped out of the bed and walked forward. The Third Elder of Blacksnake Clan was unwilling to standing at his side, but this was within his expectation, if the worst comes to the worst, he could just crush him. The person who was truly hindering him from ascending the patriarch throne was not current patriarch who was lying on sickbed, rather Great Elder of Blacksnake Clan who held power. He was a bone that was hard to deal with. Sacrificing 8,000 virgin girls and virgin boys to summon Blacksnake Great Archfiend was about to begin. If he couldn¡¯t stop this sacrifice ceremony, then he would lose. But just at this time, White Dragon Sage who was well known in South Sea had finally arrived at Blacksnake Residence, in addition, that brat Ye Chuan had also come, thus, with many things gathered together, the overall matters had gotten even thornier. ¡°Noble son, come on!¡± ¡°Noble son, I already cannot wait, quickly come¡­¡­¡± Several beauties stretched out their jade hands from the thin curtain of the bed and grab the sleeve of Mei Chuanfeng who was standing in front of the bed, wanting to pull him on the bed. ¡°Scram!¡± Mei Chuanfeng fiercely slapped away the hands of these women. When needed, he would hold them in the center of his palm, but when unneeded, he would kick them away like a dog without mercy. Afterward, Mei Chuanfeng wore his clothes and hastily left this hall. This won¡¯t do, he absolutely should not just wait for his doom like this! The more Mei Chuangfeng thought, the more restless he became, so he went to look for Ghost King Dusen overnight. Ye Chuan who was hanging down from the eaves quietly jumped and carefully followed Mei Chuanfeng keeping quite a distance between them. In the dead of night, Mei Chuanfeng hastily walked away with only two guards. The three people walked straight towards a mountain. It was at a remote place, and although there were many restrictions, there were only a few patrolling guards. Should he take advantage of this occasion to make a move and crush this Blacksnake noble son into a dead snake? Ye Chuan who was far behind suddenly had this bold thought. Rank 3 Daoist Master realm against peak Daoist Master realm and two Rank two Daoist Master realm experts, Ye Chuan had only 30% certainty, so should he make a move or not? Ye Chuan hesitated, with only 30% certainty, he would have made a move without any hesitation if this was the wilderness as he would never miss such a change where he had some certainty, but this was inside Blacksnake Villa with tight security, so he had no choice but to think over again and again. If his attack failed, then he would suffer violent counterattack and even implicate Little Long¡¯er waiting outside the villa. ¡°You two, guard here, don¡¯t let anyone enter!¡± When Ye Chuan was hesitating, Mei Chuanfeng suddenly stopped and ordering his guards, he entered a courtyard at the summit of a mountain by himself. Blacksnake Villa was built on a mountain, but the overwhelming majority of buildings were built at halfway up the mountain and the summit was very remote and deserted. And the moment Blacksnake noble son knocked the door and entered, a gloomy and cold air suddenly spread out from this courtyard. Those guards standing outside simultaneously shivered and their face was filled with fear. Even without the instruction of Blacksnake noble son, they wouldn¡¯t dare to enter. As it turned out, Ghost King Dusen was hidden here! The mind of these two guards shook as they retreated. They were dying to run far away from this courtyard. The eyes of Ye Chuan however was shining. Since he found the whereabouts of Ghost King Dusen, Redline Chu Hongniang shouldn¡¯t be far away. If she wasn¡¯t in this courtyard then where could she be? Ye Chuan quietly used Cyan Feather Technique and sneaked into this remote courtyard without anybody knowing. Sure enough, after entering inside, he could clearly sense Chu Hongniang. Clearly, either Mei Chuanfeng or Ghost King Dusen had use some kind of technique to cut off the divine sense in this courtyard. ¡°Boy, finally, you have come!¡± A gloomy and cold voice came from the room, precisely was the voice of Ghost King Dusen. Just hearing his voice, people felt cold and also felt invisible pressure. It seemed that the cultivation of Ghost King Dusen had increased a bit. The more blood he sucked, the more powerful he got. The heart of Ye Chuan stopped, and thinking his whereabouts was exposed, his scalp tingled. ¡°Yes, Your Excellency Great Master Dusen, I have come.¡± Mei Chuanfeng was subservient and he respectfully entered. In front of other people, he was insolent and arrogant, but in front of Ghost King Dusen, he didn¡¯t even dare to stand straight. This time, whether he could sit on the throne of Patriarch or not was completely dependent on whether Ghost King Dusen would help or not. Moreover, even his little life was in the hands of this Ghost King Dusen. Outside the courtyard, Ye Chuan who was hiding in the dark relaxed. Then, he carefully hid in the dark some distance away. He didn¡¯t dare to approach too near. Who was Ghost King Dusen? If he carelessly leaked even a bit of his aura, then he would be discovered, and at that time, even if he wanted to run away, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do so! Through the half opened window, he could see Ghost King Dusen sitting on the bedside, and Mei Chuanfeng was respectfully bowing in front of Ghost King. But, to his surprise, he also saw Redline Chu Hongniang, her hands and legs were tied on the bed. Not good, could it be that Chu Hongniang was already¡­¡­ The heart of Ye Chuan trembled, but looking carefully, he again felt it didn¡¯t resemble so. Although Redline Lady Chu Hongniang was tied on the bed and couldn¡¯t move, her clothing was still neat. There was no sign of violation. But, the big hand of Ghost King Dusen was continuously moving around the body of Chu Hongniang, however, that movement didn¡¯t resemble blaspheming, on the contrary, it seemed that he was helping the latter cleanse her blood, muscles and marrows. ¡°Wife, I am Dusen, I am your husband, Dusen, could it be that you forget your past life¡¯s memories? Wife¡­¡­¡± Ghost King Dusen helped Chu Hongniang resist the erosion of corpse poison while continuously talking to her. He didn¡¯t even look at Mei Chuanfeng. Clearly, after being awakened by Ye Chuan, Mei Chuanfeng and others at the bamboo forest of Cyan Sand Island where he cultivated for millions of years, he regarded Redline Chu Hongniang as his wife. Perhaps, he missed his lover too much, or perhaps, Chu Hongniang truly looked exactly like his wife, he believed that she was his wife. ¡°I am not your wife, my husband is Bai Rulong, he will kill you. Let go, take away your dog paw¡­¡­¡± Chu Hongniang looked pale in fear and wanted to dodge, but she was unable to move. Even though her cultivation had already reached peak Daoist Master realm, she was easily suppressed by Ghost King Dusen. Fortunately, this fellow only talked and didn¡¯t make a move, otherwise, in these past few days, he would have already¡­¡­ Chu Hongniang was anxious. At this moment, her hands and legs were tied up and she was wearing only extremely thin clothing. Her charming and curvy figure was completely displayed. In addition, the more anxious she was, the more alluring she looked. Mei Chuanfeng couldn¡¯t help looking at her and had a thought in his heart, but he didn¡¯t dare to do anything even if he was given a leopard¡¯s guts. Whoever dared to make a move against the woman of Ghost King Dusen was absolutely courting death! ¡°Wife, I am your husband, where is that whatever Bai Rulong? I will kill him!¡± Ghost King Dusen emitted dense killing intent. Several days had already passed but Chu Hongniang didn¡¯t have any feeling towards him, so he had begun to get impatient. ¡°Your Excellency Dusen, women want coaxing, but at the critical moment, they still wanted to be conquered forcibly. Whoever conquered her to obedience, he would be her husband.¡± Mei Chuanfeng smiled and suggested. Just taking a quick glance at the curvy body of Chu Hongniang, his throat became dry and his eyes shone with scorching heat, but he hastily lowered his head. Hearing his words, Ghost King Dusen still said nothing. But, Chu Hongniang who was tied on the bed panicked and became paler. Outside the courtyard, the heart of Ye Chuan also sunk and he also got nervous. This Mei Chuanfeng was truly a bad thing. If Ghost King truly listened to his such suggestion and forced himself upon Chu Hongniang, then should he save her or not? Now, there was a difficult choice in front of Ye Chuan. Now, going out to save her was just like a moth darting into a flame, but if he indifferently watched Chu Hongniang getting sullied, then in the future when he met White Dragon Sage, then how could he explain? Moreover, returning to sea dragon boat, what should he say to Zhu Sijia and others? Ye Chuan was very nervous and watching Mei Chuanfeng, he gritted his teeth. He had never hated a person like this before. Chapter 405: Blacksnake Mansion Ye Chuan and Chu Hongniang were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but Mei Chuanfeng was smiling happily. In the vast sea, Redline Chu Hongniang was a well-known expert, and her husband Bai Rulong was also known as the hero of overseas. They had always been proud people who looked down upon the power of Blacksnake Clan. But what about now, didn¡¯t they still fall into their hand? And when Ghost King force himself upon her, what would be different from her and ordinary women? Watching Redline Lady Chu Hongniang who was proud in former days turning pale at this moment, Mei Chuanfeng was delighted in his heart. Now, he was thinking about how to persuade Ghost King Dusen to help him take care of Third Elder after Ghost King was done conquering this woman Chu Hongniang, and how to deal with the crisis of White Dragon Sage arriving at Blacksnake Residence and also how to kill Ye Chuan? These were his main objective tonight. ¡°Boy, what conquer or not conquer, do you think everyone is like you? Humph!¡± Ghost King Dusen suddenly said and his complexion was not good. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Mei Chuanfeng could no longer smile, he was somewhat confused and also afraid. Now, he didn¡¯t dare to look straight at Ghost King Dusen and under the gaze of the latter, he sweated profusely. Being close to the emperor was like being close to a tiger, unpredictable Ghost King Dusen was even harder to serve than an emperor. ¡°Boy, where are virgin girls and virgin boys you spoke of? Not to mention 8,000, in these past few days, how come I haven¡¯t seen even one?¡± The attention of Ghost King Dusen shifted to Mei Chuanfeng from Chu Hongniang, and he looked somewhat impatient as he grabbed the neck of Mei Chuanfeng. Just as Ye Chuan had expected, after rushing back to Blacksnake Residence and learning the identity of Mei Chuanfeng, Ghost King Dusen and Mei Chuanfeng had made a deal. Ghost King Dusen would spare Mei Chuanfeng¡¯s life and also help him cleanse muscles and marrows and even help eradicate his opposition, and Mei Chuanfeng would provide a large number of crystal stones, blood and all kinds of pills to help Ghost King Dusen reconstruct his body. ¡°Your Excellency, please spare me, they will absolutely be delivered in the next few days.¡± Mei Chuanfeng sweated profusely, but he didn¡¯t dare to struggle, merely begged for mercy. If he made Ghost King Dusen go berserk, then it wouldn¡¯t be enough even if he had ten lives. And he quickly added, ¡°Now, 8,000 virgin girls and virgin boys are already being sent back to Blacksnake Residence in succession, and after three days, the grand ceremony to summon Blacksnake Archfiend would be initiated. At that time, as long as the patriarch and Great Elder is killed, this Blacksnake Residence will be ours, and those 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls would also fall into our hands, in addition, after that, no matter how many Your Excellency wants, Your Excellency will be provided.¡± Mei Chuanfeng was nervous in his heart but he had a stomachful of evil tricks. He cunningly deceived Ghost King Dusen. If he hadn¡¯t Ghost King Dusen, this sharp butcher¡¯s knife, then he could only wait for the current patriarch to die to ascend to the throne of patriarch, which would take at least several tens of years, but he didn¡¯t know what kinds of changes would occur within that time. But, with the help of Ghost King, it was different, he would not hesitate to take a dangerous risk. ¡°Really?¡± Ghost King Dusen loosened his hand and let Mei Chuanfeng fall to the ground. The latter was relieved and rubbing his neck, he answered, ¡°That is absolutely true, Your Excellency Dusen, as long as I sat on the throne of Patriarch, I will provide you whatever you want. Not to mention 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls, even 80,000 virgin boys and virgin girls are only a small appetizer. At that time, the entire East Sea will be ours.¡± Mei Chuanfeng was eager to sit on the throne of patriarch, but his wild ambition was not limited to trifling Blacksnake Residence, he was ambitiously eyeing the entire East Sea, and was even aspiring to dip his finger in mainland someday. ¡°Good, very good, boy, you better pay that there is no accident after three days, otherwise you are screwed.¡± Ghost King Dusen nodded his head and said: ¡°There is not even ghost in this place, my wife isn¡¯t very fond of it, make an arrangement, I want to take her to go out for a walk. Traveling to many places, perhaps, she might remember the matters of her previous life.¡± In front of Mei Chuanfeng, Ghost King Dusen was full of killing intent and prepared to kill as long as he didn¡¯t like even one remark. But, when he looked towards Chu Hongniang who was tied on the bed, this great evil spirit would have tender expression. Mei Chuanfeng was in difficult position and he said, ¡°Your Excellency Dusen, now, Great Elder seemed to have noticed something and he has already raised his vigilance. So, carelessly exposing our whereabouts is not good. In addition, it is dark outside now, so there is not a single person in the streets, there is nothing fun to go outside. How about going out after dawn?¡± ¡°That is also fine, is there any interesting place in this Blacksnake Residence?¡± Ghost King Dusen glared at Mei Chuanfeng, making him so scared that he screamed in his heart. ¡°Your Excellency can go to Blacksnake Bay, can go to Old Monarch Mountain and also Blacksnake Mansion that specialize in auctioning all kinds of worldly treasures and materials¡­¡­¡± Mei Chuanfeng answered subconsciously while sweating profusely. ¡°Auction all kinds of worldly treasures?¡± Ghost King Dusen muttered and added, ¡°Good, this whatever Blacksnake Mansion, make preparation to go there tomorrow, don¡¯t make my wife wait more.¡± ¡°Yes, Your Excellency, rest assured, leave everything to me.¡± Mei Chuanfeng nodded his head and bowing respectfully, he withdrew. Only after exiting the door, he completely relaxed. Inside the courtyard, he was subservient and fawning, but outside the courtyard, he immediately returned back to his arrogant style while gritting his teeth and secretly made up his mind, when he stably sat on the patriarch throne, he would think of a way to get rid of this unpredictable Ghost King Dusen. Naturally, if in the battle against Great Elder, if both Ghost King and Great Elder along with other peak experts perished together, then that would be the best! Ye Chuan who was hiding in the dark also retreated quietly, and passing by a square, he saw many disciples of Blacksnake Clan was building a huge sacrificial altar. On the ground, many best crystal stone boards were laid down and many runes and indescribable patterns were carved on them. In the middle of the sacrificial altar, there was a huge black snake statue. Its eyes, mouth and the scales were lifelike as if it would come to life at any moment. No one knew what kind of treasure was sealed within it or some other reason, this black snake made people feel heavy pressure. Even when one was one kilometer away, one could still feel heavy pressure. If the coiled body of this snake was stretched out, then it would be longer than over one thousand meters Nan Tiandu. Black snake? The heart of Ye Chuan suddenly shook and he stopped his step. Looking at this vaguely familiar snake statue, a figure with human head and snake body appeared in his mind. Blacksnake Monarch, is this truly you? Ye Chuan clenched his fists and dense killing intent suddenly erupted within his body. Only after taking a deep breath, he calmed down. In his previous life, only a very few people knew that he was going to God Burial Valley. This Blacksnake Monarch was one of them. Also, only this Blacksnake Monarch was capable to plot and make him trapped in God Burial Valley. After reincarnating and becoming the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan had always been careful and low-keyed. He had decided to never easily seek revenge without sufficient strength, but, even if he was low-keyed, what ought to come would still come sooner or later. If Blacksnake Monarch had not died and come to Wilderness World from the world beyond the highest heaven, then with his techniques and means, it would not take long for him to find out that he was still alive. He couldn¡¯t let this sacrifice ritual of Blacksnake Clan advance smoothly. This so-called Blacksnake Archfiend must not be allowed to come to this world! Ye Chuan inwardly made up his mind and taking a final glance at the sacrificial altar, he left. Before breaking through to Sage realm and before making ample preparation, he was absolutely not the opponent of Blacksnake Monarch, so now the only way he had was to prevent his arrival and strive for precious time! Chapter 406: The eve of the fierce battle Returning to the sea dragon boat, Ye Chuan quickly made the preparation. First of all, he dispatched people to look for Redline Lady Chu Hongnang¡¯s husband Bai Rulong, preparing to cooperate with them. Then, he sent some people to spy on the terrain of Blacksnake Mansion to prepare for an ambush in advance. Ye Chuan had several objectives to come to East Sea this time. Now, he had already determined that the so-called Blacksnake Archfiend was very likely either Black Snake Monarch, the formidable enemy of his previous life, or his clone, or at least there was some kind of relation, he had to destroy the sacrifice ritual of Blacksnake Clan to prevent the arrival of Blacksnake Archfiend; Secondly, he had already discovered the whereabouts of Redline Lady Chu Hongniang, and they would be coming out of Blacksnake Mansion tomorrow, that would be the best chance to save her. And if he was lucky enough, then he would be able to kill Mei Chuanfeng too! Everyone quickly hot busy. Sea Demon Patriarch led his clan warriors to protect the sea dragon boat and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect disembarked group by group, making preparation in advance. As for Ye Chuan, he took a bath and changed his clothes, then, in a secret room, he lit white sandalwood and closed his eyes to rest, preparing for the fierce battle of tomorrow. A fine and continuous worldly spiritual qi seeped into the body of Ye Chuan, then dragon shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman, Buddha Talisman, Iron Blooded Banner Talisman¡­¡­¡­, all the Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body spun, and pure energy tempered and refined his bones and muscles. In his dantian, another vague qi cyclone had appeared at an unknown time and there was a sign of a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman condensing. This showed that the next breakthrough was near at hand. But, even after absorbing a lot of worldly spiritual qi, this new qi cyclone didn¡¯t have much change. According to past experience, if he wanted to condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman, then just cultivating in seclusion was not enough, luck and accumulation were also needed. Hualala, a sea wave sound resounded but Ye Chuan still sat still in his cabin. But, with more and more worldly spiritual qi entering his body, slowly, in the sky above sea dragon boat, an energy vortex appeared as the worldly spiritual qi within the radius of one kilometer drawn here. Give me power, let me breakthrough! Ye Chuan sat cross-legged without any movement, but he was roaring in his heart. He thirsted for even more worldly spiritual qi, thirst for even more powerful strength and also thirst for the breakthrough to condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. Originally, he planned to go about things steadily and surely, and consolidate every realm, but now, since the situation was pressing, he was unable to keep to conventional ways and cultivate slowly. State Teacher was ferocious, Heavenly Yao Sect was powerful, the pressure of Ghost King was monstrous and Mei Chuanfeng was overbearing, but, compared to Black Snake Monarch, the enemy of his former life, they paled into insignificance. If the so-called Blacksnake Archfiend was truly Black Snake Monarch, then his life was in danger. Once the other party came to this Wilderness World and discovered his whereabouts, then he would not have a place to take shelter even if fled to the ends of the world. Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Plague Archfiend, and other followers together would not be able to stop even a finger of this Black Snake Monarch. Ye Chuan felt pressure like never before and this made him thirst for power like never before. He swallowed worldly spiritual qi like a whale swallowing water. The complexion of Sea Demon Patriarch who had stayed behind to protect the sea dragon boat changed, and the respect he had towards Ye Chuan increased, in addition, he was greatly shocked. There was an energy vortex in the sky above sea dragon boat, but including him, no one here could absorb even a tiny bit of this worldly spiritual qi. All was plundered by Ye Chuan. When the latter was cultivating with determination, no matter how much worldly spiritual qi there was, it seemed to be insufficient. Just the aura of one Heaven Swallowing Talisman could frighten other people. At this moment, if someone walked into the secret room of Ye Chuan, then they would discover that he had entered into half dragon state, and he was vibrating so rapidly that afterimages could be seen. Now, he seemed to have transformed into a true dragon, and the afterimages of a dragon, Buddha, human faced snake, Iron Blooded Banner and others floated behind his head. There was one afterimage of one Heaven Swallowing Talisman. And it appeared as if the eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans wanted to evolve into eight powerful avatars. This Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets he had found in the nameless tomb of God Burial Valley displayed a greater mystery. Ye Chuan had a premonition, cultivating like this, he would surely far surpass his previous self in the future. One Heaven Swallowing Talisman gave him 18,000 jin of strength and also an avatar, and someday, when he reached the pinnacle of cultivation and condense 108,000 Heaven Swallowing Talismans, then who can fight against him? Under this unprecedented pressure, Ye Chuan cultivated in determination, then he suddenly held his head high and roared. Then, eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans evolved into avatars phantom and soared towards the sky, then looked down at the entire Blacksnake Residence. A violent aura with heaven destroying and earth exterminating momentum spread all around. Powerful auras suddenly erupted from every corner of Blacksnake Residence. Practically all Daoist Master realm experts instantly sensed this aura of Ye Chuan¡¯s eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans. Unfortunately, when they rushed out, the phantoms in the sky had already dispersed. Moreover, Ye Chuan quickly restrained his aura and energy fluctuation, then quietly closing his eyes, the energy vortex in the sky above sea dragon boat also dispersed rapidly. Just after everything had calmed down, several powerful divine senses swept over, instantly, all people within the radius of several kilometers felt ice-cold and no one dared to move. They felt as if a huge mountain was about to ruthlessly crush them. Sea Demon warriors hiding in the sea dragon boat were also sweating profusely, fortunately, these powerful divine senses slowly dispersed after scanning all over several times and not finding anything peculiar. It was deadly silent around sea dragon boat. All living creatures continued to hide in the dark and didn¡¯t dare to move. Even the sounds of sea waves seemed to have disappeared. Only after a long time, croaking sounds of some frogs resounded and the surroundings slowly returned to normal. Moreover, a hint of grey dawn appeared at the horizon. At that time, a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect flew over stepping on his flying sword and rushing to the secret room where Ye Chuan was staying, he said, ¡°Reporting¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, spies have reported back, no one could find the race of White Dragon Sage.¡± Creak, the door of the secret room opened automatically. Ye Chuan was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, and he said, ¡°What about Blacksnake Mansion? Is everything ready?¡± ¡°Under the command of Miss, everything is ready.¡± The disciple of Cloud Mist Sect answered. ¡°Good, now, transmit my order, the plan is not changed.¡± Ye Chuan instructed as he looked at the distant sea from the window. Since they couldn¡¯t come into contact with White Dragon Sage, that was truly a pity, but, this was the golden opportunity to rescue Redline Lady Chu Hongniang and also assassinate Mei Chuanfeng. He couldn¡¯t miss this chance. ¡°Yes!¡± The disciple outside the door bowed accepting the order, then stepping on his flying sword, he flew away. Sea Demoness Hai Lili had arrived here at an unknown time and coincidentally hearing the report of this disciple, she was worried and then, hesitating for a bit, she walked to the front of Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, in today¡¯s operation, I want to go together with you.¡± ¡°Regardless of success or failure, today¡¯s operation is very dangerous. If you go, then there is very likely that you will never return, Hai Lili, aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± Looking at Hai Lili, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t answer and he also didn¡¯t refuse. ¡°Not afraid, Miss Jiajia is not afraid, why should I be afraid?¡± Hai Lili answered. ¡°Then, what about your grandfather? Even if you are not afraid, will you grandfather let you go with me?¡± Ye Chuan asked again. ¡°No one can stop me from the matter I have decided. Besides, I have already vowed to follow noble son Ye throughout this life.If noble son met any mishap, then I also cannot live.¡± Hai Lili took off her robe, revealing that she was already wearing battle uniform inside. She had a soft and weak tone, but one could feel her determination. A faint sighing sound came from outside. Sea Demon Patriarch had also come over, and hearing the words of his granddaughter Hai Lili, he understood that it was useless to stop her, so he helplessly turned around to leave. He could restrain many sea demon warriors, but he couldn¡¯t restrain his only granddaughter Hai Lili. Now, he could only pray that Ye Chuan would return alive after this battle at Blacksnake Mansion. Chapter 407: Dragon Tongue Orchids Blacksnake Residence was boisterous and it was the most flourishing island of East Sea with numerous merchant ships coming and going. This place had a variety of unique buildings, good wines and delicacies with lingering taste and red-light district that could make people enjoy themselves so much as to forget to go home, but the most bustling place was still vast Blacksnake Mansion which auctioned all kinds of treasures. Just in terms of scale, it was far bigger than Treasure Gathering House of Cyan Sand Island. In the early morning, when some people were still sleeping, the auction of Blacksnake Mansion would already start. Unlike most auctions, Blacksnake Mansion generally chose to auction in the morning instead of the evening. Many people would leave hastily early in the morning to take a boat and leave after the auction because compared to Cyan Sand Island, the public security of this place was clearly much worse. Especially at night, all kinds of bad characters were active. If someone knew that you were carrying a huge sum of money or carrying some kind of treasures, then you might suddenly die anywhere at any time. According to the rumor, some criminals were under Blacksnake Mansion of Blacksnake Clan, so, even if everything was known perfectly, they could only suffer losses in silence. Early in the morning, Blacksnake Mansion welcomed an honored guest. Blacksnake noble son Mei Chuanfeng who always held himself aloft in Blacksnake Residence came along with a large group of bodyguards just as in the past. But, what amazed everyone was, there were two people wearing black robe and a big bamboo hat walking in the front of this group. Their face couldn¡¯t be seen, but from their build, one could determine that one was a man and the other was a woman. And always arrogant Mei Chuanfeng was strangely walking behind these two people with a respectful face. Who were these two black robed people? What kind of background did they two have for Mei Chuanfeng to be so respectful? Could it be that they were great elders of Blacksnake Clan that guarded Blacksnake Villa? Or, the patriarch of Blacksnake Clan who was confined to bed for many years because of qi deviation? People were shocked, but they didn¡¯t dare to comment. Only after this group of people walked far away, everyone began to make remarks in succession, guessing the identities of those two black robed people. ¡°In the virtuous room, serve the best tea, they are the honored guests of this noble son, if there is the slightest bit of neglect, then¡­¡­ humph!¡± Mei Chuanfeng coldly instructed and personally led Ghost King Dusen and Redline Lady Chu Hongniang to the largest compartment of Blacksnake Mansion. And soon after that, servants served a steaming hot tea with fear and trepidation. There was a small maid who seemed to be less than 15-years-old among the servants. She was so nervous that she staggered and dropped the serving tray with teacups to the ground, and some drops of hot tea splatter on Chu Hongniang. The eyes of Ghost King Dusen shone with pallid light, but before he took action, Mei Chuanfeng jumped up and ferociously slapped this small maid as he shouted, ¡°Where did this sl*t come from? Guards, drag out and behead her for me!¡± Mei Chuanfeng flew into a rage. Who was Chu Hongniang now? She however was the inverse scale of Ghost King Dusen. And if this Ghost King was angered now, then let alone seizing the throne of patriarch, he might not even able to keep his little life! ¡°Stop, it¡¯s just a few drops of tea, I am fine, let her go!¡± Chu Hongniang coldly shouted, stopping the personal guards of Mei Chuanfeng. At this moment, although Ghost King Dusen had untied the rope tied around her, she didn¡¯t know what means he used but her cultivation was sealed. In addition, her hands and legs felt weak, just walking was hard enough, it was impossible to run away. And thinking that she might be captured by this Ghost King for the rest of her life, she involuntarily gave up all hopes, and she thought to commit suicide by biting off her tongue, but again recalling her missing husband Bai Rulong and her daughter, she gritted her teeth and persisted, longing for a miracle. ¡°Thank you, madam.¡± That small maid bowed to Chu Hoangniang and rushed over to clean the fragments on the ground. ¡°No need to clean, just leave!¡± Chu Hongniang urged. This devil, Ghost King Dusen, was moody. If this small maid didn¡¯t leave now, then she might not return alive. Fortunately, perhaps, he was in a rare good mood, or, he considered the face of Chu Hongniang, Ghost King Dusen unexpectedly didn¡¯t act out violently and let this small maid leave. Chu Hongniang breathed a sigh of relief and Mei Chuanfeng at one side also similarly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. It seemed that he was more nervous than Chu Hongniang. Slowly, the number of people in Blacksnake Mansion increased. And before, Ghost King Dusen and others finished drinking their tea, the auction of today began. At the beginning, the items auctioned were relatively common things, basically were just some armors and weapons. Although each had a distinguishing feature, their grade was not high, the best one was only yellow grade. The desire of people to obtain these items were not strong, no need to talk about experienced and knowledgeable Ghost King Dusen. He didn¡¯t even look at them and he gradually became somewhat impatient. Upon seeing this, Mei Chuanfeng whispered something in the ear of his trusted subordinate. Then, the latter took his order token and left hastily to find the manager of this Blacksnake Mansion. Soon, the foreplay of this auction was hastily completed and the main course of this auction began. The host on the platform clapped his hands and some people holding an antique small wooden box walked over. When this wooden box was opened, three completely red medicinal herbs appeared in front of people and a dense fragrance spread all over this auction hall, intoxicating all people. What was even more amazing was, the roots of those three medicinal herbs were intact and they resembled three lifelike small dragons. And when the lid had opened, they had even heard a dragon roar. ¡°These are three best ten thousand years Dragon Tongue Orchids. They were discovered by a loose cultivator in a volcanic crater that had existed for millions of years and he snatched them from the mouth of a fire dragon. Refining just one of this Dragon Tongue Orchids, the efficacy will be equivalent to cultivating for a thousand years. These three are sold together, the starting bid is 50,000 top-grade crystal stones.¡± The host briefly introduced the efficacy ad origin of these three medical herbs, then gave time to the people present. The auction hall that was somewhat cold and cheerless just a moment ago quickly seethed with excitement. Just one could increase their power by thousand years, this kind of treasure was simply priceless for any cultivator. And with three of them present here, it meant that their power would increase by three thousand years, one could well imagine the temptation of this treasure. The gaze of all cultivators present became hot. ¡°Dragon Tongue Orchid?¡± Redline Lady Chu Hongniang raised her head and looked at those three medical herbs at the platform. Then, her eyes slowly shone as she recalled the words said by Ye Chuan in the sea dragon boat. In the future, to save her son Jiajia and make him regain consciousness, she needed several worldly treasures, one of them just happened to this Dragon Tongue Orchid that could only be encountered not sought! ¡°Wife, do you like those medicinal herbs?¡± Seeing the current appearance of Chu Hongniang, Ghost King Dusen happy as he asked. Once upon a time, a similar scene was deeply engraved in his mind. Even though he had become an ice-cold zombie from a heaven-defying loose cultivator, then experienced millions of years, becoming Ghost King, he still vividly remember this scene. Even if he wanted to forget, he couldn¡¯t forget it. ¡°53,000 crystal stones!¡± ¡°60,000!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. In the auction hall, the people were bidding higher and higher. Chu Hongniang didn¡¯t speak and coldly ignored Ghost King Dusen. But, she was continuously staring at those medicinal herbs on the platform. And thinking about her poor son who was frozen over in the stone coffin, tears couldn¡¯t help flowing down her eyes. Chapter 408: Pain ¡°90,000 crystal stones!¡± An unfathomable voice resounded and the entire Blacksnake Mansion calmed down. Mei Chuanfeng made the move. Like always, he made a big bid. In order to please Ghost King Dusen, he was very generous. In these past few days, in order to win over the experts of the clan, he had spent a large amount of crystal stones and treasures. Now, the savings he had accumulated in secret for a long time were almost spent all. Thus, at this moment, using 90,000 crystal stones was painful to Mei Chuanfeng. This was not a small amount for him, but for overall situation, he had to grit the teeth and be generous. ¡°90,000 crystal stones? Who is it?¡± ¡°Shoos, lower your voice, didn¡¯t you see who is in the above virtuous room?¡± In the auction hall, everyone talked in whispers, and seeing Mei Chuanfeng standing in the compartment, no one dared to make the higher bid. Competing against this well-known ferocious Mei Chuanfeng, whether one had enough crystal stones or not was the secondary matter, the first matter was everyone wanted to live. Everyone gave up the bidding. Ten thousand years old Dragon Tongue Orchid was a rare treasure but without life, what good was a treasure? But, some people were not afraid of death. When the host was preparing to announce that these three Dragon Tongue Orchids now belong to Mei Chuanfeng, a lazy voice resounded, ¡°90,001 crystal stones.¡± The entire Blacksnake Mansion became quiet again. This time, it was absolute silence. Everyone could hear their heartbeat. Who, who actually dared to contend against Mei Chuangeng? The bid was not much more, only one crystal stone more, wasn¡¯t this provoking deliberately? Everyone present was shocked. They only knew that that lazy voice had come from the dark compartment closest to the entrance and no one could be seen inside. The complexion of Mei Chuanfeng sunk. On his own territory, someone actually dared to provoke him in public, wasn¡¯t his forcing him to flip out? A ferocious murderous intention erupted out from the body of Mei Chuanfeng, and he looked just like a blood-thirsty tiger. Everyone present, from ordinary servants to peak Daoist Master realm experts, instantly felt a powerful pressure. Compared to the last time in Cyan Sand Island, the cultivation of Mei Chuanfeng had had not decreased rather had increased greatly, there were even the signs of breaking through to Half-Sage realm. The complexion of Redline Lady Chu Hongniang became somewhat pale, but she just bit her lower lip without uttering a word. She just looked at those Dragon Tongue Orchids with more regrets and reluctance. It was very rare to encounter a single Dragon Tongue Orchid, but here was three of them. If she missed this change to obtain, then she might never find them again. Ghost King Dusen also didn¡¯t say anything, merely, his complexion became much colder. He seemed even more dissatisfied. Since this little thing, Mei Chuanfeng, was unable to hand even this small matter, he was too disappointed! ¡°120,000 crystal stones!¡± Mei Chuanfeng gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressing his anger and killing intent, he directly increased the bid by 30,000 crystal stones. The entire Blacksnake Mansion boiled over. Everyone was shocked, and they looked towards that darkened compartment in succession. ¡°120,001 crystal stones!¡± The lazy voice resounded again without fearing the identity and background of Mei Chuanfeng. Amazing, still dared to continue! In that darkened room, who was there? People were shocked even greater and they began to make remarks in succession. In Blacksnake Residence, the ferociousness of Mei Chuanfeng was very well-known, but no one had ever imagined that there was even more ferocious person here. The killing intent of Mei Chuanfeng rose higher. Mei Chuanfeng was so angry that he gritted his teeth and pulling out his sword, his murderous intent became denser. Every time when the bid was increased by one crystal stone, he was reminded of one person. That person was none other than Ye Chuan in Treasuring Gathering House of Cyan Sand Island. In addition, this voice was also somewhat familiar. But, when he thought about it, it was very unlikely to be him. What place was Blacksnake Residence? Even if that brat Ye Chuan dared to sneak in, he wouldn¡¯t dare to show his face in public. ¡°150,000 crystal stones!¡± Mei Chuanfeng ferocious spat out these words, and his face was twisted as he gritted his teeth. After thinking over again and again, he still tolerated it. Firstly, in any case, Blacksnake Mansion was also the fa?ade and treasure bowl of Blacksnake Clan, it was not appropriate for him to kill here. In addition to this, Ghost King Dusen had come out today with Redline Lady Chu Hongniang looking for happiness, and he didn¡¯t want to kill which might provoke the anger of Ghost King Dusen. ¡°150,000 crystal stones, is there any higher bid? Since there is no higher bid, these three Dragon Tongue Orchids belongs to Blacknake Noble Son!¡± After shouting a few times, the host on the platform quickly decided the owner of these three medicinal herbs. This time, that lazy voice didn¡¯t resound, seemingly, he was frightened by the extremely high price of 150,000 crystal stones and he didn¡¯t dare to continue to bid higher. ¡°Amazing, in the end, Blacksnake noble son is amazing!¡± ¡°Originally, I thought that a river dragon has appeared, and it turned out to be so. In this Blacksnake Residence, Blacksnake Noble son is the most powerful!¡± People began to make remarks and the Blacksnake Mansion slowly began to seethe with excitement. Mei Chuanfeng was a person with a high cultivation base. He was able to hear the praise of people, but he was truly bleeding in his heart. For trifling three Dragon Tongue Orchids, he spent 150,000 crystal stones. Thinking about it, he was already vexed and feeling pain when he was spending 90,000 crystal stones for them, but now, he paid twice as much for them! ¡°Investigate, immediately go and investigate who is in that darkened compartment!¡± Mei Chuanfeng turned around and ordered one of his bodyguards with dense killing intent. It was not appropriate to make a move in this Blacksnake Mansion, but once they were outside, he wouldn¡¯t have any misgivings to make a move. All the crystal stones he had spent today, he would snatch them back! A few experts of Blacksnake Clan hastily left, but the auction continued without any obstruction. Several bald-headed big fellows carrying a big box walked up on the platform. Then, they lifted the red cloth covering the big box and a graceful woman appeared in front of people. She was wearing a spacious robe, but one could clearly see her figure, in addition, her appearance was exquisite, her sink was glossy and smooth, and her legs were damp. A woman of Sea Demon Clan appeared in front of people. She was locked in a big iron cage for people to watch and scramble for. ¡°Hai Qing? Heavens, how could Hai Qing¡­¡­¡± In the darkened room near the entrance gate, Sea Demoness Hai Lili exclaimed, recognizing the young woman in the big iron cage. Immediately after that, she firmly covered her mouth, not daring to utter a sound. But, his left hand subconsciously grabbed the hand of Ye Chuan in nervousness. The sea demoness Hai Qing on the platform was the rare female warrior of Sea Demon Clan. She was also the maid who had served her for many years, and suddenly seeing her here like this, how could she not be nervous? Eh, a sea demoness?¡± In the mist luxurious compartment, Redline Lady Chu Hongniang also exclaimed, looking at terrified and helpless sea demoness in the big iron cage. When she was seriously injured and drifting in the sea with her son Jiajia, she thought that she would die, but later, thanks to Ye Chuan on the sea dragon boat, she was saved along with her son. Naturally, she was very grateful to Ye Chuan, but she also felt that she owed Sea Demon Clan for their kindness. And suddenly seeing a beautiful sea demoness here like this, she couldn¡¯t help worrying about her. Chapter 409: Daylight robbery ¡°Wife, do you want to but this sea demoness as a maid? Good, that is a good idea.¡± Ghost King Dusen quickly noticed the change in the expression of Redline Lady Chu Hongniang. Then, he nodded with a smile. As for Mei Chuanfeng at one side, he was screaming in his heart and he wanted to vomit blood. For thousands of years, because various forces were suppressing and killing, the activity space of Sea Demon Clan had become smaller and smaller, and the number of people within this clan also had decreased drastically. Dragon Tongue Orchids was a treasure that could increase the power of the cultivators, but a beautiful sea demoness was a completely different type of treasure. Especially, many rich and arrogant Island Masters who led a befuddled life, for them, she was a great treasure. According to the legend, taking the virginity of sea demoness not only tasted peerlessly delicious, in addition, but they would also have the possibility of inheriting the innate skills of Sea Demon Clan. Where could they find another such treasure? After the brief surprise, the people in the auction hall became crazy. The price of this sea demoness warrior, Hai Qing, quickly rose from 70,000 crystal stones to 160,000 crystal stones, which was higher than those three Dragon Tongue Orchids. The complexion of Mei Chuanfeng was very ugly and cursing secretly, he reluctantly rose his sign and said, ¡°170,000!¡± After waiting for a while, Mei Chuanfeng finally made a move. This time, he only increased the bid by 10,000 crystal stones. He no longer dared to increase the price by several ten thousand crystal stones. After spending more than 100,000 crystal stones just a moment ago, not he didn¡¯t have much crystal stones and he couldn¡¯t bear spending more crystal stones. The auction hall quickly became quiet. Some rich people could still raise the price, but seeing Mei Chuanfeng was the one that made the bid, they had no choice but to think over. ¡°200,000!¡± A lazy voice resounded from the darkened room near the entrance gate. This time, the price was not increased by one crystal stone, the price was increased by full 30,000 crystal stones. This move was much more generous than Mei Chuanfeng. It appeared as if previous bids were just a test, and now he was truly making a move to obtain this sea demoness warrior. Mei Chuanfeng became gloomy and his complexion sank as he spat several words, ¡°210,000!¡± ¡°270,000!¡± A lazy voice resounded again, directly raising the price by 60,000 crystal stones, astonishing people. Immediately after that, people turned pale with fright. Mei Chuanfeng also became silent. 270,000 crystal stones, what kind of matters could be done using this amount of crystal stones? There were plenty of women, but crystal stones were limited resources, a large number of crystal stones were needed to rope in experts for the clan. Mei Chuanfeng hesitated for a bit. He was unwilling to offend Ghost King Dusen, but he also didn¡¯t want to be a blockhead in money matters and spent so much crystal stone like this, thus, he was in a very difficult predicament. Now, for the first time, he unexpectedly was anxious about crystal stones. In the darkened compartment near the entrance gate, Hai Lili and others were also shocked looking at Ye Chuan. ¡°Your Excellency, do you truly want to save this sea demoness warrior regardless of anything? We¡­¡­, do we have so many crystal stones?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin looked at Ye Chuan and said. He was also surprised, but he was also uncertain. With the style of Ye Chuan, how could he be a blockhead in money matters? With 270,000 crystal stones, how many elite disciples could be trained? ¡°No, let alone 270,000, we don¡¯t even have 70,000.¡± Ye Chuan replied straight away. ¡°Noble son, then why did you¡­¡­¡± Hai Lili asked. She was frightened out of her wits and her thoughts were in chaos. She wanted to beg Ye Chuan to save Hai Qing on the platform regardless of anything, but she was embarrassed to do so. ¡°I want to save people, but it is impossible to spend so many crystal stones. Even if I had so many crystal stones, I wouldn¡¯t squander like that. Don¡¯t forget what we are doing today.¡± Ye Chuan replied. Hai Lili was still somewhat confused. Old Demon of Mount Yin however laughed and said, ¡°Your Excellency, aren¡¯t you doing this to make that Mei Chuanfeng vomit blood, kakaka!¡± ¡°Rhodes, you all, move out first, it is nearly the time.¡± Ye Chuan instructed Hai Lili, Old Demon of Mout Yin and others to leave quietly and make the move according to the plan. ¡°270,000 crystal stones, 270,000, is there any higher bid? 270,000¡­¡­¡± On the platform, the host shouted loudly, preparing to slam the hammer. ¡°280,000 crystal stones!¡± At the final moment, Mei Chuanfeng gritted his teeth and said. In order to fawn and please Ghost King Dusen, he reluctantly toughened his scalp and made the bid. The auction hall instantly became quiet, and everyone looked towards the darkened compartment where Ye Chuan was located. The anger and resentment of Mei Chuanfeng had already reached the extreme level at this moment. Now, how would Ye Chuan react? Will he stop and cower or would he continue to compete against angry Mei Chuanfeng? ¡°380,000!¡± A lazy voice came from that darkened compartment again. Then, the silent auction hall instantly seethed with excitement. Increasing the price by 100,000 crystal stones, the prince reached 380,000 crystal stones, this was absolutely the first time since the establishment of Blacksnake Mansion. This was not an auction of some kind of ancient great killing weapon, it was the auction of just a woman, who would pay such an extravagant price? Everyone couldn¡¯t help making remarks and speculate the identity and background of Ye Chuan. ¡°Impossible, this person is clearly here for creating a disturbance!¡± Mei Chuanfeng didn¡¯t make a bid again, he directly jumped out from his private room in anger, then with dense killing intent, he roared in a stern voice, ¡°Who is there? Come out for this noble son!¡± In an extremely short period of time, the price nearly reached 400,000 crystal stones, and Mei Chuanfeng who had always been rich and arrogant was unable to keep up. He also didn¡¯t believe that someone could pay such a high price for a woman, so he directly went berserk and flipped out. The large group of Blacksnake Clan experts also followed after him. Seeing this, the people who were discussing spiritedly hastily retreated to one side. ¡°Mr. Me Chuanfeng, not seeing for just a few days, did you forget this old friend?¡± Along with a lazy voice, a tall youth came out of the darkened room and slowly took off the big bamboo hat he was wearing, revealing his not that handsome but the more one looked the more eye-catching face. At this moment, he had a hint of a smirk on his face. It was the time, so Ye Chuan no longer played with Mei Chuanfeng and came out openly. ¡°Ye Chuan, it¡¯s you! It¡¯s really you, you brat!¡± Mei Chuanfeng was so surprised that his eyes were wide open and he gnashed his teeth. Just a moment ago, he had some doubts, merely, he was not sure. If an average person had a great enmity with him, then how could he dare to act wildly in this Blacksnake Residence, but he forgot that Ye Chuan was not an average person. This fellow was clearly a demon, he was even fiercer than a great devil and more cunning evil spirit than a thousand-year-old fox. ¡°Kill him!¡± Mei Chuanfeng holding the snakelike flying sword took the lead to rush forward ferociously. Now, his eyes were bright red while gritting his teeth, vowing he would kill Ye Chuan today. Then, tying up his corpse in front of everyone, he would let his corpse bask in sun for seven days and seven night! Chapter 410: Drawing a snake out of its hole A pitch-black sword light streak across the air and twisted like a deadly viper. Mei Chuanfeng stepping on his snakelike flying sword rushed straight towards Ye Chuan. At this moment, he was ferocious like a fierce tiger. His energy fluctuation also suddenly rose to an extreme and the sword light of snakelike flying sword under his feet also rose sharply. All the people in Blacksnake Mansion felt tingling pain with that dense killing intent blowing against their face. Peak Daoist Master realm! Mei Chuanfeng was so angry that he instantly made a deadly move. He didn¡¯t hesitate to violate the strict rule of Blacksnake Mansion which didn¡¯t allow anyone to have a private battle. Today, he wanted to kill Ye Chuan regardless of anything. ¡°You have come at just the right time, let¡¯s see whose flying sword is stronger!¡± Ye Chuan sneered, then a hint of blood-red sword light flashed. He similarly used his flying sword. The snakelike flying sword below Mei Chuanfeng was extremely sharp, but the flying sword of Ye Chuan was by no means inferior, was even more powerful. As soon as Mei Chuanfeng came into contact with the aura of Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, Mei Chuanfeng felt tingling pain, and seeing that flying sword was about to hit him, he suddenly paused, preparing to defend. ¡°What, Mister Mei Chuan, not attacking? Fine, I will consider it as you know your place, and since you are not attacking now, I will teach you a lesson some other time.¡± Ye Chuan smirked, looking at Mei Chuanfeng who had stopped suddenly, then suddenly stepping on Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, he flew out. A large group of guards rushed over after hearing the news and tightly closed the door, but they only saw a hint of red light flashing over their head as Ye Chuan easily broke out of this encirclement. After that, some people felt their scalp was cold, so when they used their hand to touch, they noticed that Dragon Slaying Flying Sword had shaved their hair, making them bald. With a trick, Ye Chuan quickly left this place. In the auction hall, just provoking the hatred and anger of Mei Chuanfeng was enough. The true battle would be settled outside. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Little Long¡¯er, Hai Lili and others had already disappeared without a trace. The darkened room was empty with only Ye Chuan at that time. Now, everything was going according to the plan. ¡°Chase, don¡¯t let him run away, whoever kills that brat, I will reward him 500,000 top-grade crystal stones!¡± Mei Chuanfeng loudly ordered and stepping on the flying sword, he took the initiative to chase after Ye Chuan. It suddenly became sensational in the auction room. The personal guards of Mei Chuanfeng also chased after Mei Chuanfeng stepping on their flying sword. And unwilling to be left behind, the guards of this Blacksnake Mansion also turned around and chased closely behind. Soon after that, a large ground of loose cultivators and wandering hunters rushed out. 500,000 top-grade crystal stones! The reward of Mei Chuanfeng made people crazy. The head of Ye Chuan suddenly become the most sought-after treasure. Whoever cuts the head of Ye Chuan, he would gain such a huge reward! The people who were eagerly bidding in auction hall just a moment ago chaotically rushed out when the auction was still in midway. Only, Ghost King Dusen and Chu Hongniang in the virtuous room were still sitting quietly. From the beginning to the end, the expression of Ghost King Dusen was indifferent as if everything had nothing to do with him. He was only staring at Chu Hongniang in front of him. On the contrary, Chu Hongniang was nervous, excited and also somewhat confused and restless. Ye Chuan had appeared so resolutely and then ran away, his purpose of coming here was very clear. He wanted to draw a snake out of its hole to save her. But, what should she do at this moment? Chu Hongniang took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Her cultivation was sealed now, and she was no different from an ordinary person who had never cultivated. Even if she wanted to run away, it was impossible. She could only entrust all her hope on Ye Chuan and cooperate as much as possible to create an opportunity for Ye Chuan. The eyes of Chu Hongniang shone as she secretly thought about how to cooperate with the actions of Ye Chuan. Should she continue to sit in this private room, waiting for Ye Chuan to come and save her, or should she go out? Or, should she think of a way to send away this Ghost King Dusen? ¡°Wife, aren¡¯t you and that youth called something Ye Chuan companions? It is best to not move randomly. He cannot save you, you also cannot run away.¡± Ghost King Dusen sat still, but seeing through the thoughts of Chu Hongniang, he faintly said, ¡°Millions of years ago, I lost you and become a zombie, and then a Ghost King. Now that I have met you again, I will not let you drift away from me. Wife, I am Dusen, your husband Dusen, can you truly not remember anything at all?¡± Dusen looked sad while speaking. Once open a time, he only had cultivation in his eyes. Throughout his life, his dream was to step into Sage realm and stand at the pinnacle of cultivation, becoming the strongest person. For this reason, he didn¡¯t hesitate to cultivate evil Ghost King Secrets. Now, after seclusion cultivation underground for millions of years, he finally had his wish fulfilled, but at this moment, he discovered that he wasn¡¯t wild with joy like he had imagined at that time, instead, his heart was empty and also full of regrets. After stepping into Sage realm, he had yet to truly have this world in his hand, but he had already lost his beloved, does this kind of cultivation have any meaning? Ghost King Dusen was very disappointed in his heart and also very sad. But, when he saw Chu Hongniang in that bamboo forest, he instantly woke up. Unfortunately, it was already late. He could still clearly remember the matters of millions of years ago, but Chu Hongniang of that time had already reincarnated for unknown numbers of years and no longer had any memories of him. ¡°Your Excellency Dusen, you got the wrong person, I am truly not your wife. My surname is Chu, and my given name is Hongniang.¡± Chu Hongniang looked at Ghost King Dusen who had heaven-defying cultivation base and was somewhat anxious and helpless in her heart. It was undeniable that Ghost King Dusen was very handsome in appearance. After sucking a large amount of blood and qi, his body had gotten more and more sturdy, and he was impressive-looking, merely, Chu Hongniang only had her husband Bai Rulong in her heart. No matter how handsome the other man was, she didn¡¯t even bother to look at him. ¡°I know, millions of years ago, you were also called Chu Hongniang.¡± Looking at Chu Hongniang who was half a head shorter than him, Ghost King Dusen had a tender expression. ¡°That¡­¡­, that is just a coincidence.¡± Chu Hongniang was anxious, looking at the frank appearance of Ghost King Dusen which also resembled like he was not talking nonsense, the helplessness feeling in the heart of Chu Hongniang became stronger. ¡°In this world, there are countless people. Two people might have a similar appearance and their name also might be identical, but also having exactly the same temperament, that is unique.¡± Ghost King Dusen sadly looked at Chu Hongniang and added, ¡°Wife, do you know why I recognize you as my wife when I had just come out of the ground?¡± ¡°Is it just because of that so-called temperament?¡± Chu Hongniang was almost driven nuts. How could she know what kind of temperament she had? ¡°Yes, your temperament is the same. Even if you have another appearance and have another name, your husband, I can always recognize you.¡± Ghost King Dusen nodded his head. He seemed to have firmly believed that Chu Hongniang was his wife and he would never let her go. Chu Hongniang was speechless, she didn¡¯t know how to explain and also didn¡¯t know how she should cooperate with the action of Ye Chuan. She had yet to make a move, but the other party could already see through her, how could she make a move? Kakaka, a burst of strange laughter suddenly resounded in Blacksnake Mansion. On the platform, the guards who were preparing to lift the big iron cage where sea demoness warrior Hai Qing was locked up and take it away suddenly squinted their eyes. At the entrance of this Blacksnake Mansion, green waves could be seen rolling up. Looking carefully, those were not some waves, rather strange vines dancing in the air. Chapter 411: Probe ¡°Wife, your friend has come to save you. Interesting, such an attack is truly rare.¡± Ghost King Dusen suddenly said. He was sitting in the compartment looking on unconcerned. He appeared as if he had no intention to make a move. The guards on the platform however were greatly shocked and their complexion change greatly. There were still many guests who had not left Blacksnake Mansion, but at this moment, they also looked pale and they were shivering, squeezing at one corner. In the blink of an eye, green waves spreading outside the door changed into vine sea that blotted out the sky and covered the earth and gushed in, like countless snakes. ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°Help, captain, help me¡­¡­¡± The guards screamed in panic and lost their wits. And in the brief moment, they lost their chance to run away. The entire platform was surrounded by that terrifying vines. After that, one scream after another resounded, followed by silence. Then, those thousands of vines bound the iron bars of that big iron cage, and the iron bars issued cracking sounds being unable to bear the heavy burden. Within one breath of time, the guards in the platform collapsed in the poll of their blood and those strange vines began to break that solid big iron cage, releasing that locked up sea demoness warrior Hai Qing. The merchants and overseas loose cultivators squeezing together at one corner were greatly frightened seeing this scene. Even a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert, seeing these countless vines, they were frightened. At that time, a loud alarm went out in Blacksnake Mansion. Someone had quickly sent out a signal to Blacksnake Villa to request reinforcement. Soon, a large number of Blacksnake Clan¡¯s experts would arrive here. But, before the reinforcement arrived here, this ocean of vines became the graveyard for the guards of this Blacksnake Mansion. Outside the door, many guards rushed over upon hearing the news, but they didn¡¯t dare to approach in fear. After saving Hai Qing, those strange vines stopped, and after a few moments, they began to gush towards the luxurious virtuous room as strange laughter resounded in the sky. Old Demon of Mount Yin who was hiding outside the door began to make probing attack at Ghost King Dusen. Since Ye Chuan had already lured away Mei Chuanfeng and the experts of Blacksnake Mansion, he began to save people according to the plan. First, he had intentionally crushed the guards on the platform in the presence of all to lure out heaven-defying expert Ghost King Dusen, then other people would make a move to save Chu Hongniang. But, Ghost King Dusen unexpectedly didn¡¯t take the bait. It appeared as if he had no intention to make a move. So, with no other choice, Old Demon of Mount Yin had to carry out the second plan, which was to take the initiative to attack. Countless vines rushed towards the compartment where Ghost King Dusen and Chu Hongniang were located. Upon seeing this, the merchants and overseas loose cultivators screamed, fearing it was their turn next. As for Ghost King Dusen in the compartment, he was calm and composed. Only when countless vines reached near the compartment, he coldly snorted, ¡°Interesting, truly interesting, wife, your friend truly has big guts, now, you say, should your husband kill him or be lenient?¡± Ghost King didn¡¯t seem to use any technique, he just flicked his finger casually and a hint of cold qi streak across the sky. But, in the next moment, those countless vines stopped as if the time had frozen. Next, a cold wind blew over and those thickly dotted vines broke into pieces and fell to the ground. It seemed those vines were completely frozen. Outside the door, at one corner roughly 120 meters away from Blacksnake Mansion, Old Demon of Mount Yin let out a muffled groan and staggered back, then shooting out a hundred meter vine to coil around the eaves of the roof, he quickly swung away from one roof to another while gritting his teeth. Now, his legs were dead straight and stiffened, he couldn¡¯t even bend his knees, moreover, a layer of ice covered his body, he was frozen just like the vines in Blacksnake Residence. Just a casual attack of Ghost King Dusen made Old Demon of Mount Yin taste the bitterness. For ordinary cultivators, a peak Daoist Master realm expert was already enough for them to look up to, and some couldn¡¯t even reach that height even after cultivating painstakingly throughout their life. But, for Ghost King Dusen who was already in Sage realm, a peak Daoist Master realm expert was not even an opponent! Moreover, this was already him showing leniency considering the face of Chu Hongniang, otherwise, Old Demon of Mount Yin would have frozen to death. Old Demon of Mount Yi who could kill all over in former days trembled. He felt that all the blood and qi within his body were frozen, and he was about to regress into his original vine form. He even felt as if his cultivation was destroyed. So, gritting his teeth, he immediately ran away as far as possible. Now, he finally understood why Ye Chuan had repeatedly told him to not act rashly. ¡°Here I was thinking why the attack of that person was so unique, as it turned out he is a vine demon.¡± In the private compartment, Ghost King easily saw through the true form of Old Demon of Mount Yin who was running away, and said, ¡°Interesting, wife, who is that friend of yours called something Ye Chuan? He was actually able to rope in this kind of expert. Looking at his cultivation, it is not up to much, merely is Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, even inferior to this vine demon. Can it be that he is the personal disciple of some heaven-defying expert or he has some kind of extremely powerful background?¡± Ghost King Dusen became very curious about the identity of Ye Chuan. He vaguely felt as if he was unexpectedly unable to see through Ye Chuan. It was very normal to have this kind of feeling towards fellow Sage realm experts, but this youth was only Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, so it was very strange. ¡°He is the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect and also the future Sect Master, what, afraid?¡± Looking at Ghost King, Chu Hongniang intentionally revealed the identity of Ye Chuan. On one hand, it was to protect Ye Chuan, making Ghost King Dusen have some misgivings; and on the other hand, using this pretext, she wanted to probe whether she could put pressure on Ghost King Dusen with the reputation of Cloud Mist Sect. In these last few years, Cloud Mist Sect had steadily deteriorated, but they had a long history and inheritance. Millions of years ago, it was counted as one of the very best sects. Since Ghost King had been sleeping underground for a long time, perhaps, when he was active millions of years ago, Cloud Mist Sect was still very powerful and Ghost King Dusen might also have learned that Cloud Mist Sect was powerful by coincident at that time. Sure enough, the complexion of Ghost King Dusen changed, ¡°What, Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect? Cloud Mist Sect, Ye¡­¡­ Chuan¡­¡­, this name, it seems¡­¡­¡± The eyelids of Ghost King Dusen jumped up as if he recalled something. He felt like he had heard the name Ye Chuan millions of years ago, but he couldn¡¯t clearly remember at this moment, and when he thought harder, he felt dull pain as if his head was going to explode. In the bamboo forest of Cyan Sand Island, Ye Chuan and Mei Chuanfeng had woken him up in advance, and at that time, he happened to meet Redline Lady Chu Hongniang by coincidence, that made him endlessly excited, but that also caused him some negative effects. He could only remember parts of the matters happened millions of years ago and he couldn¡¯t think much as thinking much made him have a headache. This was the aftereffect of waking up in advance and also was the consequences of cultivating Ghost King Sutra. At that moment, suddenly a whistling arrow soared towards the sky at a distant place, then it exploded, changing into fireworks which faintly condensed into a huge ghost face. Moreover, the sea breeze brought along sad and shrill screaming sounds which were somewhat familiar. ¡°Not good, it¡¯s that boy Mei Chuanfeng!¡± Ghost King Dusen exclaimed and without thinking much, he reached out to grab Chu Hongniang and jumping out of the window, he quickly flew towards the source of that sound. Even when all the guards inside Blacksnake Mansion had died, Ghost King Dusen was indifferent, but he couldn¡¯t stay still when Mei Chuanfeng was in danger. In any case, they at least had a cooperating relationship at this moment. Without the tribute of Mei Chuanfeng, where could he easily obtain so much blood and qi, moreover, where could he find 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls? Chapter 412: Great evil spiri t At the northwest corner of Blacksnake Residence, roughly ten or so li away from the seaside, there was a large expanse of stone forest. Because, there were large numbers of snakes, it was also known as snake forest. Although the specialty of Blacksnake Island, red root bamboo shoot, grew between the rocks, because of the large number of poisonous snakes, this palace was too dangerous. Average overseas loose cultivators didn¡¯t dare to easily enter this area, but now, at the edge of this snake forest, there was a large group of people and they could hear shouting voices, fighting sounds and screaming voices coming one after another from inside this snake forest. After considering carefully, Ye Chaun selected this dangerous snake forest as the battlefield. After rushing out from the Blacksnake Mansion, he led Mei Chuanfeng and others to this place. Mei Chuanfeng was very confident with his strength and since this was his own territory as well as a large number of guards were behind him, he chased after Ye Chuan inside this snake forest without any hesitation even though he knew that this snake forest was very dangerous. As a result, not long after entering this snake forest, a tragedy occurred. The snakes inside the snake forest were not the real danger, rather the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect who were waiting for a long time were. Ye Chuan had arranged an ambush here, and he deliberately lured Mei Chuanfeng and his group here by becoming the bait. Mei Chuanfeng had thought of this point when he was chasing after Ye Chuan, but he had never expected that the ambush of Ye Chuan would be so powerful. First, a large group of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples rushed out stepping on a flying sword. They jointly attacked to kill the guards behind Mei Chuanfeng and numerous overseas loose cultivators. Then, a tall and big ox headed person rushed out, intercepting Mei Chuanfeng who wanted to kill Ye Chuan. Then, with a roar, the surrounding within the radius of 100 meters changed into bright red magma. This move caught Mei Chuanfeng unprepared and both of his legs were burned badly, greatly damaging his vitality. In addition, he was nearly fell into this magma and change into a pool of blood. Plague Archfiend who had been prepared for a long time ferociously attacked. In a battle between Half-Sage realm expert and peak Daoist Master realm expert, moreover, being caught unprepared when exhausted, Mei Chuanfeng simply wasn¡¯t the opponent of Plague Archfiend Abasi. Thus, he hastily retreated while asking Ghost King Dusen to come and save him. ¡°Damn it, a Half Sage realm expert! Ye Chuan, you are so sinister and despicable.¡± Mei Chuanfeng was afraid and also angry while gritting his teeth in hatred. Making Half Sage realm expert come ambush him who was only a peak Daoist Master realm expert, this move of Ye Chuan was truly despicable. Mei Chuanfeng shouted himself hoarse and hastily retreated stepping on his flying sword while enduring severe pain. A moment ago, he was still chasing Ye Chuan, unwilling to let him go, but in the blink of an eye, the situation turned around and he was retreating hastily in fear. ¡°Hahaha, boy, are you running away? His Excellency instructed me to crush and make you a dead snake. Today, you are dead, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi roared with laughter. He didn¡¯t even display his tree eyed frog form and was not in a hurry to chase. But at that moment, he suddenly squatted down and placed his hands on the ground, then shouting loudly, he opened his mouth wide and inhaled. Instantly, sand was flying about and stones were hurtling through the air inside the snake forest, moreover, many tall stones shook and flew in the sky. As for Mei Chuanfeng who was stepping on his snakelike flying sword to run away, he suddenly discovered that not only he couldn¡¯t escape, but he was also being pulled back by the breath of Plague Archfiend. Plague Archfiend who had been suffering from seasickness and vomiting on the sea finally displayed his astonishing might. And at this moment, Mei Chuanfeng was isolated deep into enemy territory, but, even if his numerous guards were at his side and they cooperate, it was not enough to stop Plague Archfiend. Little Long¡¯er, Hai Lili and Old Demon of Mount Yin were responsible to stay back in Blacksnake Mansion to look for a chance to save Chu Hongniang. As for Ye Chuan, he was responsible to lure Mei Chuanfeng so that Plague Archfiend Abasi would make a deadly move. This was the plan of Ye Chuan. This plant was not complicated or was even very simple, but fact proved that it was very effective. Very often, doing things in an oversimplified and crude way had a better effect! At that moment, the snakelike flying sword under the feet of Mei Chuanfeng suddenly vibrated and its sword light rose sharply as it emitted dense black qi. And when Plague Archfiend Abasi was only 5 or 6 meters away, that flying sword vibrated even more violently, then along with a hissing sound, it truly transformed into a black snake, and rushed towards Plague Archfiend Abasi. Blacksnake Flying Sword! This snakelike flying sword didn¡¯t appear simple and it infect had many effects. It was the defining treasure of Blacksnake Clan. Not only was it incomparably sharp, at the critical moment, it could transform into a real black snake and save its owner. For the past many years, relying on this big killing weapon, Mei Chuanfeng had repeatedly averted disasters and in turn, killed all his formidable enemies, making a name for himself. ¡°Kill, go to hell!¡± Mei Chuanfeng shouted loudly as he injected all his energy in this flying sword to make a counterattack in this hopeless situation. Every time he used this killing move of his blacksnake flying sword, his vitality would be greatly damaged and he had to recuperate for at least three months. But, as long as he killed both Plague Archfiend Abasi and Ye Chuan in one fell swoop, he didn¡¯t mind even if he had to recuperate for three years! ¡°Insignificant skill!¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi just sneered looking at this flying sword that had transformed into a black snake. Upon seeing this, Zhu Sijia and others were alarmed, but he was still unintimidated. He suddenly transformed into his huge three-eyed toad form, then opening his mouth even wider, he directly swallowed this black snake, then the flame within his body soared as if he himself was turning into a magma. A sad and shrill hissing sound came out from within his body and that black snake quickly fled all around, struggling to free itself, like a living snake. Unfortunately, it could no longer come out after entering the stomach of Plague Archfiend, and that terrifying magma within his body quickly forced it to turn into its original black flying sword form. As for Mei Chuanfeng, he vomited a mouthful of black blood and his trembling soul quickly emerged abruptly. He had tyrannized East Sea for so many years but he had never seen anyone so ferocious that he would swallow his blacksnake sword. This three-eyed toad, where did Ye Chuan find such a heaven-defying evil spirit? Every treasure was closely bound to its master, and once that treasure was forcibly snatched away, the master who had refined that treasure would be injured heavily. After losing blacksnake sword, Mei Chuanfeng suffered a heavy injury again. Now, he didn¡¯t dare to delay again and he subconsciously turned around to ran away, in addition, he sent out the signal arrow again to ask Ghost King Dusen to come and save him. The result, Ghost King Dusen still had yet to arrive, but a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path. ¡°Noble son Mei Chuan, you actually came, how about leaving behind a small gift? I prefer your head.¡± Ye Chuan sneered and he immediately palmed heavily towards the chest of Mei Chuanfeng. After repeatedly suffering heavy injuries, Mei Chuanfeng found it hard to move now, he could only look helplessly at the palm of Ye Chuan hitting him. He wanted to dodge but was powerless. Bang, his internal organs turned over and he vomited a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying by the powerful palm of Ye Chuan. ¡°The body of peak Daoist Master realm expert is truly sturdy, tsk tsk, here is another one!¡± Ye Chuan paused and circulating eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he rushed forward again. Overlaying the power of all his Heaven Swallowing Talismans, the strength of 144,000 jin strength suddenly exploded and just the palm wind made people unable to open their eyes. ¡°No¡­¡­¡± Mei Chuanfeng screamed loudly. He was scared out of wits. If this palm of Ye Chuan hit him again, then even if he was a bull with a thick skin, he would definitely die. Numerous guards looked over hearing his scream, and everyone thought this situation was not good and they wanted to rush over, unfortunately, numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect blocked them. They could only watch Ye Chuan hitting Mei Chuanfeng. Chapter 413: Ghost King Sutra ¡°Enough, to kill noble son Mei Chuan, did you all ask this lordship?¡± A cold voice suddenly came from far away, and a cold qi spread all over this snake forest. On the ground, the crawling poisonous snakes suddenly entangled together and quickly fled underground or the crack of stones. Those snakes who were a bit slower were immediately frozen stiff as if they had entered the hibernation. Not good, Ghost King Dusen is here! The eyelid of Ye Chuan jumped and he got nervously. At the same time, Mei Chuanfeng however excitedly roared with laughter, ¡°Hahaha, came, Ghost King came, Ye Chuan, just you wait, you brat, you are dead, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Since he was able to return from the gate of hell, the complexion of Mei Chuanfeng became ferocious and glaring at Ye Chuan, he was endless excited. Under his leadership, Ye Chuan unexpectedly had a Half-Sage realm expert, this truly was beyond his expectation, but, what about it? He, Mei Chuanfeng, had a Sage realm bodyguard, who can kill him? Ye Chuan paused for a moment, but immediately afterward, he suddenly accelerated towards Mei Chuanfeng. His eyes suddenly became ice-cold without any emotions, then a red light flashed in his hand as he wielded his Dragon Slaying Flying sword, wanting to pierce through the glabella of Mei Chuanfeng, turning him into a dead snake. Ghost King Dusen had yet to appear, but just his aura alone made Half Sage realm Plague Archfiend Abasi trembled. As for Zhu Sijia, she quickly gave orders to retreat. But, at this time, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t retreat, he initiated a fiercer attack, wanting to first kill Mei Chuanfeng. The sword light flashed and streak across the sky along with a whistling sound. Instantly, Mei Chuanfeng could no longer laugh, his eyes were opened wide and his mind practically became a blank space. Who dared to kill him in front of Sage realm Ghost King? Anyone normal wouldn¡¯t dare to do so as one could well imagine the consequences of angering Ghost King Dusen. But, Ye Chuan was different, he rushed forward and didn¡¯t play his cards according to common sense. Buzz! The sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword vibrated rapidly and the buzzing sound resounding in the sky. Instantly, the distance between the flying sword and the glabella of Mei Chuanfeng was only half an inch and in next second this sword would pierce through his forehead! Two cold fingers suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chuan and clamped the sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword between them. Ghost King Dusen truly appeared out of the thin air along with dense ghostly qi. He was still holding Redline Lady Chu Hongniang in his bosom. His speed was so high that it exceeded everyone¡¯s imagination. A hint of cold qi quickly spread rapidly from Dragon Slaying Flying Sword to the five fingers of Ye Chuan¡¯s right hand. Immediately afterward, his fingers were frozen stiff and lost their feelings, then his palm, wrist and elbow¡­¡­, that terrifying cold qi spread rapidly throughout the body of Ye Chuan. Once that cold qi spread to the chest and froze the heart, even peak Daoist Master realm expert might not be able to escape death. Just causally using his fingers, Ghost King Dusen displayed the might of a Sage realm expert. This kind of technique was beyond the imagination of the cultivators below Sage realm. The strength of Ye Chuan far surpassed the cultivators of the same realm, but in front of Ghost King Dusen, he similarly couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow. The sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword was so close to Mei Chuanfeng, but he was unable to move at all. Moreover, let alone killing Mei Chuanfeng, in an instant, now, he was facing fatal disaster. ¡°Your Excellency, be careful, quickly leave!¡± A huge figure rushed over and suddenly pushed Ye Chuan away, and directly faced the pressure of Ghost King Gusen. At the critical moment, Plague Archfiend Abasi stepped forward bravely and faced Ghost King Dusen who had heaven-defying cultivation base. Although he was also outstanding, Sage realm and Half-Sage realm still had a very big gap, and it was hard to stride across that gap. When Ghost King Dusen had arrived, Plague Archfiend Abasi was so frightened that he was dying to run away, but seeing Ye Chuan was in danger, he rushed up without any hesitation. ¡°Eh, a Half Sage realm toad from the world beyond the highest heaven? Tsk tsk, interesting, truly didn¡¯t expect that after millions of years, Wilderness World has become even more splendid.¡± Ghost King Dusen exclaimed in surprise, and sizing up three-eyed toad Abasi in front of him, he became even more interested in the identity and origin of Ye Chuan. In Blacksnake Mansion, he had encountered a peak Daoist Master realm vine demon with unique innate skill. Now here in snake forest, he met even more powerful three-eyed toad, how did Ye Chuan subdue these evil spirits? Ghost King Dusen scanned Ye Chuan who was not far away, and the feeling of not being able to see through him became all the more intense. From his memory, he knew that the successive Big Disciples of Cloud Mist Sect that had a long inheritance weren¡¯t simple, but for a trifling Rank 3 Daoist Master having such powerful followers, how did Ye Chuan accomplished this? Even those few top-notch experts of Cloud Mist Sect that were famous millions of years ago, they didn¡¯t have such ability when they were still in Daoist Master realm. ¡°Withdraw!¡± Ye Chuan ordered, then turned around and fled. Immediately after seeing Ghost King Dusen had arrived with Chu Hongniang, Ye Chuan knew that Old Demon of Mount Yin had failed, losing the best chance to rescue her. Moreover, he also could no longer assassinate Mei Chuanfeng. Now, if they didn¡¯t retreat, then they would either have heavy casualties or even their entire group might be wiped out. The cold qi spread across the sky suddenly intensified. And a layer of ice dregs appeared on the skin of all the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect including Ye Chuan and Zhu Sijia, moreover, their hands and legs became numb and stiff, losing their sensation. As for the snakes who were a little late to hide, they were directly frozen into ice, then shattered into pieces. On the snowland with heavy snowfall, people could be frozen stiff, and when the temperature continued to drop, the vitality of people would be extinguished and even unfreezing in the future would be of no avail; in addition, when the temperature falls sharply in an extremely short period of time, the flesh and blood of the human would be frozen solid and scatter upon touch. Ghost King Domain! With a thought, Ghost King Dusen used a powerful technique of Ghost King Sutra, instantly changing this snake forest into a death domain. And the first to be affected weren¡¯t the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, they were the numerous bodyguards of Mei Chuanfeng as well as unfortunate overseas loose cultivators who had rushed over after hearing the news. Chu Hongniang was also trembling and her teeth chattered as she was about to be frozen solid. Although a warm current was continuously coming from the palm of Ghost King Dusen, she was still on the verge of death. The terrifying and sinister cold qi reduced a little as feeling the discomfort of Chu Hongniang, Ghost King Dusen took the initiative to absorb this cold qi. After that, Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia and others slowly began to regain their sense of touch, returning back from the gate of hail. ¡°In the Ghost King Domain of this lordship, all flesh and blood are the tribute of this lordship, offer your qi, blood and soul.¡± Ghost King Dusen coldly scanned around, then stretching out his hand towards Ye Chuan, he grabbed the air. In his eyes, other than Mei Chuanfeng and Chu Hongniang, everyone on the scene was his prey, and the higher the cultivation of the prey the better. But, he didn¡¯t try to kill Half-Sage realm Plague Archfiend Abasi first, rather he wanted to kill Ye Chuan first. Because he couldn¡¯t see through Ye Chuan, he subconsciously wanted to kill Ye Chuan first! Cloud Mist Sect is very powerful with many experts, but so what? Absorbing blood, qi and soul of Ye Chuan to rapidly increase his cultivation and step into the peak Sage realm as soon as possible was the most important matter! Ghost King Dusen¡¯s killing intent soared, and like an ancient demon god that had crawled out from the grave, no one could match him! Chapter 414: Life and death battle Just after his body recovered a bit of perception, Ye Chuan encountered a new danger as Ghost King Dusen was targeting him. ¡°Hahaha, kill him, Your Excellency Dusen, kill him!¡± Mei Chuanfeng was excited again, and feeling proud and elated, he added, ¡°Kill this brat Ye Chuan and those 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls are yours, hahaha¡­¡­¡± In the Ghost King Domain of Ghost King Dusen, the body of Mei Chuanfeng along with his trusted subordinates was also stiff and numb, fluttering around the gate of hell. Even now, the majority of his bodyguards were too weak to move, but this didn¡¯t affect the excitement in the heart of Mei Chuanfeng. As long as Ye Chuan was killed, he didn¡¯t care whether this group of guards died or not! Ye Chuan suddenly exerted strength in his legs and he sunk into the ground to his knees. His perception was just recovering, so he still couldn¡¯t use many techniques. Now, there was only one way, circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and contend with this attack, sparing no effort. ¡°Eh¡­¡­, not bad, Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect truly amazing. You are much more powerful than my expectation.¡± Ghost King Dusen was somewhat surprised, but increasing his power, Ye Continued to pull Ye Chuan. It was useless even though his legs had sunk underground to the knees. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu SIjia and others screamed and helplessly watching Ye Chuan getting closer and closer to Ghost King Dusen, everyone became pale and nervous. Unfortunately, their body was also frozen stiff, thus, even though they had the mind to try save him, they were powerless. The circumstance of Plague Archfiend Abasi was slightly better, but looking at Ghost King Dusen who had heaven-defying cultivation base, he didn¡¯t hastily make a move, rather he calmly prepared to make his strongest move. He had only one chance to make a move, if this attack failed, then not only will he fail to save Ye Chuan, even he himself might lose his life. Aoo! A powerful dragon roar came from the distant horizon. A Demonic Dragon quickly appeared in the view of everyone. On his back, there were three people. Little Long¡¯er and Old Demon of Mount Yin who had stayed behind in Blacksnake Mansion, looking for a chance to rescue had finally caught up. In addition, there were two more people. One was sea demoness Hai Lili, and the other one was sea demoness warrior Hai Qing. After Mei Chuanfeng was drawn away, although they were unable to rescue Chu Hongniang as they planned, they were able to save Hai Qing who was imprisoned in that big iron cage. After that, they immediately retreated towards the snake forest, but although the speed of Little Long¡¯er was fast, Ghost King Dusen arrived much before at snake forest. It was not that Little Long¡¯er was too slowly, rather Ghost King Dusen was much faster! Little Long¡¯er suddenly descended and flew at lower altitude. At that time, Hai Lili jumped down from his back along with Hai Qing. Old Demon of Mount Yin however continued to lean over on the back of Little Long¡¯er. Then, one person one dragon ferociously rushed towards Ghost King Dusen. Suddenly, greenery appeared in this snake forest with crushed stones everywhere and soft shoots began to burst out from the ground. Then, in the next instant, those soft shoots grew up and turned into several meters long vines, then gushed towards Ghost King Dusen. Vine Demon¡¯s Chaotic Dance! Old Demon of Mount Yin didn¡¯t speak a word. He just directly used his strongest move. He didn¡¯t think that he would be able to kill Ghost King Dusen with this attack, just being able to stop the attack of Ghost King Dusen for a moment and give a chance for Ye Chuan to get away was more than enough. ¡°Another two first rate tributes have come, good, good! I have never tasted the flavor of Demonic Dragon and Vine Demon, but someone actually delivered themselves at my doorstep, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Ghost King Dusen roared with laughter, then flicking his finger, he shot out cold qi and the body of Little Long¡¯er was instantly frozen and his huge body fell to the ground. As for Old Demon of Mount Yin who was lying on the back of Little Long¡¯er, he shivered with cold and his teeth chattered. After that, Ghost King Dusen¡¯s left hand grabbed the empty air, and one dragon and one person was pulled towards him like Ye Chuan. These two had attacked ferociously, but, just like a moth flying towards a fire, they couldn¡¯t pose any threat to Ghost King Dusen. Even those countless vines that were gushing towards him were frozen solid by his cold qi and were shattered along with the wind. Sage, the might of Sage realm expert, who can stop? People were shocked, even Ye Chuan was the same. He was feeling bitter at this moment and his body continued to move towards Ghost King Dusen but he could do nothing about it. Sage realm experts, millions of years ago, there were many of them. In those years, even his followers, Ghost Hand Medicinal King, Blue Eyed Yao Empress and others, who among them weren¡¯t a peerless Sage realm great expert? At that time, ordinary Sage realm cultivators were just like ants for him, Heaven Concealing Great Sage. But now, the circumstance was completely different. Ghost Hand Medicinal King had disappeared without a trace. He also didn¡¯t know anything about the whereabouts of Blue Eyed Yao Empress. Sage realm experts that had once stood at the pinnacle of Wilderness World had either died or left. When Ye Chuan had left God Burial Valley, Wilderness World had changed completely. This Ghost King who had just stepped into Sage realm could summon wind and rain. For many Daoist Master cultivators, now this Ghost King Dusen was an expert that couldn¡¯t be surpassed, an invincible existence! ¡°Hahaha, Your Excellency Dusen, kill them all, round up the whole gang at one fell swoop!¡± Mei Chuanfeng became all the more excited. Seeing no one could match Ghost King Dusen, not only he let off his pent-up feelings, but he also felt comfortable from his head to toe and burst with joy. With the help of such expert, there was nothing he couldn¡¯t do. As for the patriarch throne of Blacksnake Clan, wasn¡¯t it very easy to snatch? Just imagining the scene of him sitting down on the patriarch throne and command the army to conquer the entire seas and also dipping his finger in the mainland, Mei Chuanfeng with wild ambitions became endlessly excited. If one escape from calamity, one would truly receive blessings. After getting caught by Ghost King Dusen in Cyan Sand Island of south sea, who would have thought that he would actually have such a day? ¡°All flesh and blood is the tribute of this lordship, wife, take a look at your husband¡¯s power!¡± Ghost King Dusen held his head high and uttered a long, loud cry, then in the sky above snake forest, a huge ghost face suddenly appeared, then it opened its mouth and breathe in. On the ground, sand flew about and stones hurtled through the air, and everyone felt like they were floating and their spirit went out of their control, wanting to rush out of their head. In order to display his strong might in front of Redline Lady Chu Hongniang, Ghost King Dusen suddenly used the killing move of Ghost King Sutra, wanting to suck in blood, qi and spirit of everyone present here. Along with numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and overseas loose cultivators, there were at least over a thousand people here in snake forest. Among them, there furthermore were Ye Chuan, Little Long¡¯er, Old Demon of Mount Yin and other high level experts. Absorbing their blood, qi and spirit, his cultivation was bound to reach the next level! A hint of dazzling sword light suddenly rushed out from the depth of snake forest. A tall white robed man suddenly rushed out and used his sword to stab towards the heart of Ghost King Dusen from the back. One human and one sword had combined together to form a sword qi. White Dragon Sage Bai Rulong who had disappeared without a trace after stepping into Blacksnake Residence had rushed out and initiated a fierce and swift at Ghost King Dusen. The eyes of Chu Hongniang suddenly shone, and the eyes of Plague Archfiend Abasi who was calmly preparing his strongest attack also shone with a fanatical light. Chapter 415: White Dragon White Dragon Sage suddenly appeared at the most critical moment without anybody knowing like a first rage assassin. Ghost King Dusen immediately turned around and staring at that sword light, his complexion became solemn. Strictly speaking, White Dragon Sage was only Half-Sage realm, he had yet to breakthrough into Sage realm to become a true Sage, but compared to ordinary Half-Sage realm experts, he was far more powerful. And when he suddenly attacked without sparing any effort, even Sage realm Ghost King Dusen also felt strong danger and didn¡¯t dare to be careless. Ghost King Dusen reached out his right hand and used his two fingers to point at distant White Dragon Sage who was rushing towards him. The Ghost King Domain instantly shrunk substantially in size, and the invisible pressure everyone was feeling instantly decreased a lot and the huge face in the sky also disappeared. The sudden attack of White Dragon Sage was very swift and fierce, even Ghost King Dusen didn¡¯t dare to take this lightly. He used all his power to meet this attack head-on. ¡°Withdraw!¡± Ye Chuan gave orders without any hesitation taking advantage of this occasion. After this pressure greatly lessened, he immediately stood up and then turning around, he retreated with all his speed. Zhu Sijia and others also reacted quickly. They stepped on their flying sword and flew away towards the opposite end of this snake forest where the vast sea was located. And in the vast sea, sea dragon boat of Sea Demon Clan was waiting for them to sail away, escaping far away from Ghost King Dusen, this invincible demon god. ¡°Your Excellency, why don¡¯t we jointly attack this Ghost King¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes rushed over and his eyes shone with a hint of pallid light. This was the first time he had eaten such a big loss after he began staying beside Ye Chuan. He was nearly swallowed by this Ghost King Dusen, so he could never feel comfortable until he killed this Ghost King Dusen. ¡°Rhodes, do you want to die? Quickly withdraw! Little Long¡¯er, bring them both!¡± Ye Chuan urgently gave orders, then dragging Old Demon of Mount Yin, he hastily ran away. He didn¡¯t dare to stay here for even a moment longer. And upon hearing the orders of Ye Chuan, Little Long¡¯er squatted on the ground and after Hai Lili and Hai Qing rode his back, he immediately flew away, closely following Ye Chuan. Since his ambush failed, Ye Chuan decisively retreated leaving behind only Plague Archfiend Abasi. Old Demon of Mount Yin was still ready to make trouble, hoping to seize this opportunity and cooperate to kill this Ghost King Dusen, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even dare to entertain such thoughts. A Sage realm expert was someone that couldn¡¯t be defeated by quantity alone. Only another Sage realm expert can contend against a Sage realm expert. No matter how many Half-Sage realm experts there were, it was useless, no one knows this point better than Ye Chuan who once was Heaven Concealing Great Sage. White Dragon Sage Bai Rulong and Plague Archfiend Abasi were outstanding, but they could only delay for the short while at best. They were absolutely not an opponent of Ghost King Dusen and it was impossible for them to kill him. If they didn¡¯t retreat now, then they would not have any chance to run away again. When there was an opportunity, Ye Chuan dared to attack, but without any chance, he would never delay the retreat. The objectives of this operation were rescuing Redline Lady Chu Hongniang and the assassination of Mei Chuanfeng. From the beginning to the end, Ye Chuan had never thought to fight against Ghost King Dusen, he just hoped to lead him away. But, now that it was impossible to achieve these objectives, retreat was the only path left. Ye Chuan hastily retreated, and sure enough, his guess was not wrong. Just after everyone had left, a muffled groaning sound came from behind. White Dragon Sage who similarly had heaven-defying cultivation base was suddenly bound by extremely gloomy and cold energy, then, two bloody holes appeared on his chest. The two fingers of Ghost King Dusen had injured White Dragon Sage from distant like a sharp dagger. White Dragon Sage bled, dying his white robe red. Seeing this, Redline Lady Chu Hongniang screamed and subconsciously wished to rush over, but Ghost King Dusen was still holding her tightly. ¡°Kill!¡± Seeing Ghost King Dusen was forcibly holding his wife, the eyes of White Dragon Sage became bright red, and completely ignoring the wounds on his body, he continued to advance and the sword light of his sword in his hand suddenly rose sharply and cut open the binding of gloomy and cold aura, then the sword tip continued to stab towards the glabella of Ghost King Dusen. In the blink of an eye, his speed increased vastly, and leaving behind afterimages, as if teleporting, he instantly appeared in front of Ghost King Dusen. ¡°Humph, courting death!¡± Ghost King Dusen coldly snorted and blew out a breath, then White Dragon Sage who was close at hand along with his sword was frozen, then he was coldly swatted away. White Dragon Sage was sent flying like a kite with a broken string and his sharp sword also flew off from his hand. But after a scream, a white light flashed around his body and he transformed into a white dragon. For thousands of years, Bai Rulong who had run amuck in four seas together with Redline Lady Chu Hongniang was known as White Dragon Sage. But, this was the first time, he was forced to reveal his dragon form in public. He roared and as if he had gone crazy, he rushed towards Ghost King Dusen again. It appeared as if he would fight to his last gasp today! This time, his speed was even faster and he instantly collided against Ghost King Dusen. Even Ghost King Dusen had not expected that his opponent¡¯s true form was a white dragon. And because he was startled for a moment, he didn¡¯t have time to dodge. A ferocious collision caused a powerful shockwave. The clothing of Redline Lady Chu Hongniang made fluttering sound and she was unable to open her eyes. In addition, in this instant, she felt as if an explosion had occurred in her mind and turned her mind into a blank space. If it was not for Ghost King Dusen holding her tightly, she might have already sent flying far away. But, Mei Chuanfeng who was standing not far away was not so lucky. Like a leaf, he was sent flying and he felt tingling pain all over his body as if his entire body was falling apart and torn into shreds by this shockwave. Seeing the invincible might of Ghost King Dusen, he was so excited that he forgot to retreat, the result, extreme joy instantly begot sorrow. The direct collision had always been a big taboo when peak experts exchange blows. Ghost King Dusen retreated a few steps back in succession, and with the aura within his body becoming chaotic, he let out a muffled groan. As for White Dragon Sage, he was in even worse condition. His huge dragon body was sent flying and he vomited a mouthful of blood, moreover, he couldn¡¯t move his body now. ¡°What a ferocious white dragon, today, this lordship will kill you and devour your blood, qi and spirit!¡± The killing intent of Ghost King Dusen soared, then circulating energy within his body, when he was about to use his killing move to directly kill White Dragon Sage in one move, he suddenly felt a scorching hot aura coming from behind him. Plague Archfiend Abasi who had been calmly waiting for a long time finally made a move. He opened his mouth and sprayed out a flame. This flame didn¡¯t look dangerous, and looked far less terrifying than red hot magma. But, its destructive power was several times higher. It was the life flame of Abasi formed through condensing his lifetime cultivation and energy. This flame suddenly covered the clothing, hair and eyebrows of Ghost King Dusen, instantly burning them. Even one kilometer away, one could fee scorching heat wave, and several dozen overseas loose cultivators who didn¡¯t have time to dodge were engulfed by this heat wave and became a pool of blood. ¡°Damn you two!¡± Ghost King Dusen angrily roared and emitted dense cold qi and that cold qi rapidly engulfed the flame burning him. But, when he was about to make a move to kill Plague Archfiend Abasi, the latter had already flown far away. He had even taken away seriously wounded White Dragon Sager. The complexion of Ghost King Dusen became cold and he prepared to pursue, but Redline Lady Chu Hongning firmly held his left arm, delaying him for a moment, and this delay was more than enough for Plague Archfiend to disappear far away. Chapter 416: Junior Apprentice Sister, you are naughty again The huge sea dragon boat had been waiting at the other side of the snake forest for a long time. And after Plague Archfiend and White Dragon Sage boarded the ship, sea dragon boat quickly sailed away. Swish, swish, swish, numerous bodyguards of Mei Chuanfeng chased after them stepping on their flying sword, unfortunately, sea dragon boat had already turned into a small dot far away at this moment, and disappeared in the distant horizon in front of their eyes. ¡°Damn it!¡± Mei Chuanfeng gnashed his teeth and cursed furiously. At this moment, his face was twisted and sullen. In this battle, his life was saved, but it was exceptionally embarrassing. In Blacksnake Mansion, he was again made into a blockhead in money matters and thoroughly lost his face in public. In addition, after chasing to snake forest, he was almost killed instead. If it was not for Ghost King Dusen arriving at the critical moment, then he might have already turned into a corpse in the wilds. ¡°Noble son, do you want to mobilize blacksnake warships to chase after them?¡± A trusted subordinate proposed. ¡°No, let that kid Ye Chuan live a few more days!¡± Mei Chuanfeng coldly rejected the suggestion, then turning around, he angrily walked away. Although he hated Ye Chuan to his bones, he still had more important matter he needed to do next. The grand sacrifice ceremony was right around the corner and it was most important to think of a way to take advantage of this occasion to start a rebellion and seize the patriarch throne. When that time comes, Blacksnake Clan and Blacksnake Residence would be under his control, and it would not be too late to mobilize the huge army of Blacksnake Clan to deal with Ye Chuan! Mei Chuanfeng left in a hurry with a gloomy complexion, but he was prepared fully for the next plan. The sea dragon boat was very fast and it quickly disappeared on the sea level, but it hadn¡¯t sailed far away, rather had stopped at a deserted island not far away from Blacksnake Residence. After White Dragon Sage boarded the ship, he didn¡¯t utter a word. He just went to a corner and sat cross-legged. He didn¡¯t even change his bloodstained white robe and began to cultivate on the spot. He was still sitting straight, but he was covered in blood and his sword was missing. He also looked wan and sallow with lonely appearance, but ignoring everyone, he cultivated with determination. Ye Chuan walked over to the deck and looked at the sea waves. In this battle, they unexpectedly saved a sea demoness warrior, but they failed in short. Ghost King Dusen was far more shrewd and powerful than they had imagined. Now, they knew that it was even harder than reaching the sky to save Redline Lady Chu Hongniang. Moreover, with such an expert aiding him, it was extremely difficult to kill Mei Chuanfeng too. Now, should they continue to stay here and sought a solution or make a detour to South Sea and continue to go to Lost City, the Holy Land of Sea Demon Clan? Ye Chuan remained silent, hesitating in his heart. He knew that the so-called Blacksnake Demon God was very likely to be related to Blacksnake Monarch, the formidable enemy of his previous life. Now, he had even more important task, i.e., to think up a way to sabotage the sacrifice ceremony of Blacksnake Clan. This point coincided with the objective of Mei Chuanfeng. If he continued to stay, then he might win over valuable time by preventing the arrival of Blacksnake Monarch, but the slightest bit of carelessness might completely wipe out their entire group. Sage realm Ghost King Dusen was truly too powerful. There was no one around that could deal with him. Even if State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng and Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s White Haired Yao Empress together might not be the opponent of this Ghost King. What about that Seventh Elder? If that Seventh Elder came here, can he suppress Ghost King Dusen, this heaven-defying evil spirit? Ye Chuan thought, suddenly recalling cyan robed Seventh Elder who appeared and disappeared mysteriously in the rear mountain of Cloud Mist Sect. Even until now, this cyan robed Seventh Elder was still the most incomprehensible person he had seen. When he was in Xiushi realm, he couldn¡¯t see through the cultivation of Seventh Elder, and even after condensing eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans and breaking through to Rank 3 Daoist Master realm, he was still unable to see through him. Soon, Ye Chuan shook his head and discarded this unrealistic thought. Thinking about it, it was impossible to make Seventh Elder leave the mountain. At that time when State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng had come to Cloud Mist Mountain Range and killed everywhere, Seventh Elder still didn¡¯t have a move. Now, requesting him to come so far away at overseas to deal with Ghost King, how was that possible? Light footsteps came from behind him. Ye Chuan turned around and saw Zhu Sijia who had changed into white battle robe walking over. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, something seems to be wrong with White Dragon Sage. Like this, it is very likely that his qi will deviate, shouldn¡¯t you persuade him?¡± Zhu Sijia walked over and whispered in the ear of Ye Chuan. Her eyes were filled with sympathy and compassion looking at White Dragon Sage. His son was seriously injured and was lying frozen in the stone coffin. His daughter¡¯s whereabout was unknown and his wife was taken away and couldn¡¯t be saved. Anyone who suffered such a disaster would collapse. White Dragon Sage had already stepped into Half Sage realm,and he had always detached himself from this overseas world, but, even a man of such a high standing and cultivation base, after such a sudden disaster became silent. ¡°No need, it is not easy for a Half Sage ream expert to have a qi deviation. Besides, who is White Dragon Sage? Other than Chu Hongniang, I fear no one under the heaven can convince him.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and looked at worried Zhu SIjia. Then, reaching out his hand, he gently hugged her waist and softly said, ¡°Jiajia, someday, if you encounter the disaster like Chu Hongniang and was snatched away, then I, this senior apprentice brother, will also become insane and desperate. Moreover, if someone kidnaps our children, then I will fight against whoever the other party is regardless of anything. In contrast, White Dragon Sage is already very rational.¡± A hint of fragrance coming from the body of Zhu Sijia entered the nose of Ye Chuan and seeped into his internal organs. This was a sweet fragrance that made people refreshed, and it was also like a fine wine that was brewed for a long period of time, making people drunk without drinking wine. For a moment, Ye Chuan who had already experienced many beauties in his previous life fell into a daze. ¡°So hateful, who wants to have a child with you?¡± Zhu Sijia blushed and struggled to free herself from the big hand of Ye Chuan. But to her surprise, not only Ye Chuan didn¡¯t loosen his hand, on the contrary, he pulled her into his bosom, then kissed her forehead. And just with this, the Zhu Sijia collapsed softly in the bosom of Ye Chuan and she no longer had any strength in her body. Then, she subconsciously hugged Ye Chuan and rubbed her face against his chest. This time, going out to the sea, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know when he could return, and honestly speaking, normally, Zhu Sijia would be staying behind in the sect, considering the situation as a while, but she was unable to endure thinking she would be apart from Ye Chuan for such a long time, so discarding everything and regardless of everyone¡¯s dissuasion, she followed Ye Chuan to go to the sea together with him. As it now seems, choosing to go to the sea together was the right choice. Tightly hugging Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia felt that there was no regret in her life. Since she could stay together with the person she liked, everything else was secondary. ¡°Junior Apprentice Sister, you are naughty again, believe or not, this big senior apprentice brother will smack your buttocks.¡± Ye Chuan smiled evilly and really spanked her. Suddenly, the pert buttocks of Zhu Sijia swayed and at the same time, they two recalled that time when Ye Chuan had just returned to the sect. At that time Zhu Sijia had brought along Fatty Zhao Dazhi and others to look for Ye Chuan to vent her anger, the result, Ye Chuan caught them and she was spanked. ¡°Big senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia pretended to be angry, but she was not angry in her heart. What¡¯s more, even though she was spanked, she felt very sweet in her heart. And she subconsciously raised her plump buttocks as if she was waiting for Ye Chuan to spank again. Heavy footsteps suddenly came from behind. Plague Archfiend Abasi strode over, holding a black flying sword in his hand. He looked impatient as if he wanted to quickly speak something to Ye Chuan, the result, he unexpectedly saw a scene he shouldn¡¯t have seen. Chapter 417: Blacksnake Phantom ¡°Eh, Your Excellency, I¡¯m sorry¡­¡­¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi awkwardly apologized and turned to leave. But, someone else was faster than him. Zhu Sijia who had turned red to her ears lowered her head and ran away after struggling free from Ye Chuan. Seeing this, Plague Archfiend Abasi was placed in an even more awkward situation as he knew that his timing was very bad. ¡°What matter brought you here?¡± Ye Chuan asked but his eyes were still looking at the back view of Zhu Sijia with a bad smile. He truly enjoyed the process, not only the result. Thinking about it, in the beginning, junior apprentice sister Zhu Sijia was so haughty and shrewish, but now, she¡­¡­ Now, the more Ye Chuan thought, the more he felt that turning to an ordinary disciple, compared to his previous life when he was aloof and remote Heaven Concealing Great Sage, his current life was a lot more colorful. In his previous life, he already had everything he wanted. Although he had many followers, only a few of them were loyal to him from the bottom of their heart. And, he always felt somewhat lonely at the top. Now, although his cultivation was still very low compared to his previous life and it was hard to obtain crystal stones and medicinal pills he wanted, he had a group of sincere followers and juniors who worked together to help each other. Often, he could also take liberties with Zhu Sijia, this junior apprentice sister. His current life was very colorful. ¡°Your Excellency, take a look at this flying sword.¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi walked over and handed over that blacksnake flying sword of Mei Chuanfeng to Ye Chuan and said, ¡°This flying sword is very strange, appearance wise, it resembled a snake, and it appeared as if a snake is sealed inside it which could rush out at any time and devour the spirit.¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi looked solemn. As a Half Sage realm expert, he would never disturb Ye Chuan with a normal matter, but this matter was different, just sensing the snake sealed within this flying sword made even him feel ill at ease. After swallowing this flying sword of Mei Chuanfeng, he planned to refine it immediately. He thought that since he was able to erase the connection between this big killing weapon and Mei Chuanfeng, he could also seize the essence energy of this flying sword, but returning to the sea dragon boat, he quickly discovered that things were not as simple as he had thought. On the surface, it appeared as if he had already refined this snakelike flying sword with his fate demonic flame, but he always felt inexplicable danger from this flying sword as if a pair of eyes was coldly staring at him. In the beginning, Plague Archfiend Abasi thought that Ghost King Dusen might have left some kind of mark on his body, so he felt like that. But, after looking around for a good while, he discovered that the problem lied in this flying sword, and carefully examining it, he vaguely sensed a snake sealed within this flying sword that was ready to make trouble. In addition, it appeared as if that snake would rush out at any time and attack. ¡°That snake, isn¡¯t its entire body completely black with thick scales all over?¡± Ye Chuan asked. He didn¡¯t take this flying sword, but his complexion was solemn as a terrifying figure appeared in his mind. ¡°Yes, Your Excellency, you¡­¡­, how did you know?¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi was surprised. Ye Chuan remained silent without answering Plague Archfiend Abasi. And after pondering for a while, he asked again, ¡°That snake, it doesn¡¯t open its mouth to devour spirit rather divine sense disappears upon drawing close to it, in addition, around that snake, isn¡¯t there a faint black qi?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes, it¡¯s like that, when my divine sense got close to it, that black qi around it swallow my divine sense!¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi repeatedly nodded his head, but he was all the more shocked and confused as he didn¡¯t understand how Ye Chuan knew this. However, one thing was certain, Ye Chuan was truly not simple and he was far from being just a simple disciple of a sect. ¡°I know, Abasi, follow me.¡± Ye Chuan turned around and walked inside the cabin, then sitting cross-legged, he took out small crystal man he had obtained in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm and cut it using his Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. ¡°Your Excellency, this is¡­¡­¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi was somewhat confused. He was unable to make sense of what Ye Chuan was doing, but, not long after, he understood. The sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword of Ye Chuan cut this small crystal man into two half, then carving a snake like curvy groove, he made Abasi put the blacksnake flying sword in the groove. The size of that groove was a perfect fit. After that, he joined together the other half of the small crystal man, covering the blacksnake flying sword. ¡°Your Excellency, that snake in this flying sword, is it so powerful?¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi asked. He had been together with Ye Chuan for so long, but this was the first time he had seen Ye Chuan being so cautious. ¡°Very powerful, no, should say very very powerful. If my guess isn¡¯t wrong, then that is the true heaven-defying evil spirit, even one hundred of Ghost King also cannot match it.¡± Ye Chuan was very solemn and after speaking a few sentences, he circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and set up a powerful restriction above this small crystal man. And only after sealing this blacksnake flying sword heavily, he put that small crystal man in his Cyan Lotus Lamp. From the beginning to the end, he didn¡¯t personally examine the circumstance within this blacksnake flying sword. He didn¡¯t even touch this flying sword. He was very cautious. Just with the words of Plague Archfiend Abasi, he could already guess what was going on within this blacksnake flying sword. The guess he had made before was truly correct. Now, he could conclude that Blacksnake Clan and Black Snake Monarch were inextricably linked. It was very likely that that so-called Blacksnake Archfiend was Black Snake Monarch, the formidable enemy of his previous life, or the avatar of the latter. The snake within this blacksnake flying sword was unique soul imprint of Blacksnake Monarch, so refining it without careful consideration, one might suffer a fatal counterattack. Plague Archfiend Abasi was unaware of the hidden facts and he also didn¡¯t dare to explore the mystery of this flying sword. Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t dare to touch it, otherwise, Black Snake Monarch might be able to sense his aura via his soul imprint. If that happened, then he would be in trouble. The complexion of Plague Archfiend Abasi however turned pale and his heart was in jitters. Even one hundred Ghost King together was not the opponent, what exactly was the origin of that snake in this flying sword? Who was so terrifying? Plague Archfiend Abasi¡¯s heart shook, but he didn¡¯t doubt the words of Ye Chuan as Ye Chuan didn¡¯t need to exaggerate, moreover, his complexion was also solemn. Abasi wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing Ye Chuan was silent without uttering a word, he didn¡¯t dare to ask minutely. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± The voice of Zhu Sijia came as she hastily rushed in with a piece of paper, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, not good, White Dragon Sage is gone, look!¡± Ye Chuan took the paper and saw there were only a few words on it, ¡°Noble son Ye, I am leaving.¡± The letter didn¡¯t state where he was going, and even didn¡¯t mention about entrusting his son Jiajia to Ye Chuan. He had just left. One person one sword one boat, a solitary figure in the vast sea suddenly appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. At that time, the sound of messy footsteps came, and Little Long¡¯er and Sea Demon Patriarch and others came in. ¡°Patriarch, I am very sorry, we have to delay going to East Sea by several days.¡± Ye Chuan slowly stood up and his tone was somewhat mild but his attitude was firm. After discovering the unusualness of the blacksnake flying sword, Ye Chuan determined that there was a link between Blacksnake Clan and Black Snake Monarch, so Ye Chuan made up his mind. Whatever happens, he must destroy this sacrifice ceremony of Blacksnake Clan. He couldn¡¯t let Black Snake Monarch come to Wilderness World. Chapter 418: Black Sea On sea dragon boat that was docked on the nameless deserted island, under the help of Sea Demon warriors, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect disguised themselves as overseas loose cultivators and sneaked into Blacksnake Residence, and began to transmit various kind of intelligence. According to the intelligence, the sacrifice ceremony of Blacksnake Clan was just three days later and many disciples of Blacksnake Clan were rushing back from wherever they were. Now, the port of Blacksnake Residence was filled with big and small boats. Some boats brought back the disciples of Blacksnake Clan, some brought goods and some boats brought virgin boys and virgin girls who were less than 8-years-old. In order to prepare for this sacrifice ceremony, Blacksnake Clan had committed countless sins. After making up his mind to stay, Ye Chuan began to cultivate in seclusion on this deserted island, conserving strength and preparing for the operation three days later. As for collecting and analyzing intelligence, advance preparation for the operation and other matters, he left all for Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others to handle. In the battle of snake forest, Ghost King Dusen had displayed his overwhelming strength, making Ye Chuan fully realize the shortcomings of his party. As long as Ghost King Dusen was still around, both assassinating Mei Chuanfeng and rescuing Chu Hongniang was impossible. White Dragon Sage Bai Rulong had left by himself, without thinking, Ye Chuan knew that he had gone to look for Ghost King Dusen to save his wife and daughter with all his might. But, this trip was fraught with grim possibilities. Now, not only Ye Chuan wanted to sabotage the sacrifice ceremony of Blacksnake Clan, but he also wanted to rescue a person, thus, Ye Chuan was feeling a heavy pressure. But, the greater the pressure, the calmer he became. Although his group didn¡¯t have sufficient strength and was at disadvantage position, it was also not like they were at a complete disadvantage, the biggest advantage was they were in the dark and they could take the initiative. In addition to this, another advantage was, his group had the reinforcement of Sea Demon warriors. Even if this operation failed, they could immediately retreat to the sea. A pure worldly spiritual qi entered his body and slowly moisturize his blood vessels and tempered his physique. Then, the body of Ye Chuan lightly trembled and all of his pores stretch opened. This nameless deserted island was completely surrounded by sea, but the concentration of worldly spiritual qi was not bad and this island was full of lush and verdant bamboos. When the sea breeze blows, the rustling sounds of the leaves coordinate together with sea wave sounds. This place was quiet and elegant like a utopia above this mortal world. And cultivating here gave twice the result with half the effort as if this truly was the legendary island of the immortals. Ye Chuan had been continuously sitting cross-legged on the ground in meditation, cutting off all the distracting thoughts. In his dantian, a new qi cyclone was becoming denser and denser, showing the sign of condensing a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. Unfortunately, even after cultivating for one day and one night, and repeatedly attacking the bottleneck, that qi cyclone only had a little change. It was still unable to make a breakthrough. ¡°Cultivation requires great effort, but good luck is even more important, unfortunately¡­..¡± Ye Chuan opened his eyes and sighed with pity. It was almost time for the sacrifice ceremony, and he would very likely face Ghost King Dusen, that heaven-defying evil spirit, again. And at this moment, let alone advancing by leaps and bounds, just making a little progress also had great significance. Still, even though he had many powerful techniques, he was unable to use most of them, thinking this, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Hualala, the sound of sea waves never stopped. The majority of people had already disembarked and were temporarily stationed at this deserted island, but looking at the camp, one could see that people were gathered at one place. They were intentionally staying far away in order to avoid disturbing the cultivation of Ye Chuan. In the vicinity of Ye Chuan, only Little Long¡¯er was sitting on one reef to protect Ye Chuan. A faint cyan light flashed and from the Cyan Lotus Lamp, Ye Chuan took out Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, Dragon Binding Chain, Iron Blooded Banner¡­.., all of his treasures and began to sort out. The might of Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets he had obtained in God Burial Valley was far beyond the imagination of average people. Achieving success in the cultivation of this technique, one would obtain great strength, but the progress was slow. To breakthrough every small realm, he needed good luck and he should also be well versed. And as Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan had rich experience and was sufficiently well versed, but good luck couldn¡¯t be sought. Ye Chuan carefully sorted out the treasure inside his Cyan Lotus Lamp, then after carefully examining them, he put them back one after another. Dragon Slaying Flying Sword that could piece through huge dragons, does it still have a hidden secret or destiny? Ye Chuan caressed the hilt of Dragon Slaying Flying Sword and shook his head. This however was the flying sword given to him by Seventh Elder. What about Dragon Binding Chain? Ye Chuan reached out and pick up Dragon Binding Chain, then brandished it. This long chain suddenly became dead straight and stabbed a hole through a big tree in the front. It was able to take the offensive as well as the defensive ground, unfortunately, even after sensing it carefully for a while, he couldn¡¯t sense any profound mysteries. Dragon Binding Chain won¡¯t work, and Iron Blooded Banner also won¡¯t work as he had already condensed a banner talisman after refining it. Ye Chuan shook his head in succession. Suddenly, his movement stopped as he touched a small crystal man. This small crystal man was completely cyan in color. Touching it, his heart palpitated, that was the aura of the world beyond the highest heaven. In the past, his spirit had sunk into this cyan small crystal man and had made a spiritual tour, peeping at the scenery of the world beyond the highest heaven¡¯s one corner. But, after he had accidentally obtained this cyan small crystal man in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, a series of disturbance had come after another, so he didn¡¯t have time to sort out the space inside Cyan Lotus Lamp, thus, he quickly forgot about this unique treasure. There was not much time before the sacrifice ceremony began, and cultivating normally, he was unable to breakthrough his bottleneck. So, if he linked up his spirit with the world beyond the highest heaven again and absorb the energy of the world beyond the highest heaven, then could he¡­¡­ Ye Chuan suddenly had a thought, then using a technique, Ye Chuan slowly closed his eyes and his spirit sunk into this cyan small crystal man on his palm. A marvelous feeling suddenly appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. His body felt light and his spirit suddenly arrived at a strange place. It was dense and dark under heaven. Below, there was a dark and deep vast sea with water darker than an ink, above, there was a heavy layer of black cloud. There was no sign of life all around and there was a violent energy fluctuation in the air. Crash, a black sea wave ferociously slammed against the cliff and strong invisible shock wave spread all around. The spirit of Ye Chuan felt ice-cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Even though his spirit was far more powerful than other cultivators in the same realm, his spirit nearly fell apart and disperse in this strange world beyond the highest heaven. A faint cyan light suddenly shrouded Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit from head to toe. Cyan Lotus Lamp within the body of Ye Chuan shone and a faint cyan light followed his spirit and illuminated the world beyond the highest heaven around his spirit. Then, his ice-cold spirit felt a hint of warmth. The eyes of Ye Chuan shone, and after looking all around, he calmed down and began to absorb the energy around him. The cyan small crystal man on the palm of Ye Chuan suddenly became boiling hot as a fine and continuous violent energy came out from this cyan small crystal man and seemed into the body of Ye Chuan. Instantly, Ye Chuan trembled and his robe fluttered even though there was no wind. In addition, the flesh of his arms twisted as if this violent energy wanted to shred the hands holding this cyan small crystal man to shreds. Little Long¡¯er guarding in the vicinity suddenly turned around as he noticed the unusualness in the air, then seeing cyan small crystal man in the hand of Ye Chuan, his complexion changed greatly. Chapter 419: Tentacle monster The violent energy fluctuation gushed out via cyan small crystal man and got bigger and bigger. This energy was too violent. Even with the experience and strength of Ye Chuan, he was slowly unable to suppress it. Injuries began to appear in his meridians and he began to bleed. And with him as the center, this violent energy fluctuation surged within a radius of ten meters, giving rise to a chaotic wind. ¡°What is going on?¡± ¡°This is¡­¡­, the aura of the world beyond the highest heaven?¡± In the temporary camp, all strong personnel rushed out. Zhu Sijia and others also rushed out in succession after noticing some difference. And immediately after rushing out, the complexion of Plague Archfiend Abasi changed as he noticed the aura that didn¡¯t belong to Wilderness World and seeing the cyan small crystal man in the hand of Ye Chuan, he was shocked and gradually became solemn. Zhu Sijia was worried, but although she had rushed out quickly, not only was she unable to go forward to help, instead, she was forced to retreat step by step. The violent energy fluctuation around Ye Chuan still rose steadily, and in less than half an incense time, the area covered by this violent energy fluctuation rose from 10 meters to 100 meters. Now, the chaotic wind was like a sharp blade. It could cut everything into pieces. Old Demon of Mount Yin send out a vine towards Ye Chuan, the result, this vine was cut into pieces before it reached Ye Chuan and his complexion immediately became pale. The complexion of Zhu Sijia, Little Long¡¯er and others also instantly became pale and they were also terrified. Even peak Daoist Master realm Old Demon of Mount Yin was unable to approach, who else can help Ye Chuan now? The gaze of everyone turned to Plague Archfiend Abasi who had the highest cultivation in this group. The complexion of the latter was also stretched taut, but he didn¡¯t rashly rush up. The higher the cultivation base, the more one could sense the danger of this aura of the world beyond the highest heaven. Among all the people present now, his was the one with the highest cultivation base, but in the world beyond the highest heaven, Half-Sage realm experts didn¡¯t count as anything. There were many places they couldn¡¯t go. Whoosh, whoosh, the sound of wind resounded throughout the sky. The air around Ye Chuan twisted as the fierce wind emitted ear-piercing sounds. It appeared as if the sky would tear apart forming a space rift. And with everybody watching, the energy fluctuation that was gushing out from the cyan small crystal man didn¡¯t weaken, instead continued to rise, moreover, the rising speed was increasing rapidly. Ye Chuan let out a muffled groan and a blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth, but he didn¡¯t stop, instead, he circulated eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body to max and removing all defense, he began to absorb this violent energy of the world beyond the highest heaven as if a whale swallowing water. Then, the qi cyclone within his dantian began to condense more and more and began to emit boundless energy. A new Heaven Swallowing Talisman was on the verge of forming. Ye Chuan was already injured and was unable to suppress this violent energy fluctuation, but from the very beginning, he was very clear-headed. He knew what he was doing. On the eve of the big battle, he was determined to make a breakthrough in his cultivation. Sinister and ruthless Mei Chuanfeng, Ghost King Dusen with heaven-defying cultivation and the formidable enemy who had trapped him in Ghost Burial Valley in his previous life, Blacksnake Monarch, they made Ye Chuan feel unprecedented pressure, forcing him to cultivate painstakingly and his desire for power became stronger like never before. Facing very powerful enemies, one would either quietly wait to be crushed or cultivate painstakingly while taking on a big risk! Ye Chuan had selected the second choice. If Blacksnake Monarch truly returned to Wilderness World, then he wouldn¡¯t be able to run away even if he wanted, so unless he raised his strength and sabotaged the sacrifice ceremony of Blacksnake Clan, only death was his end fate. Whoosh, whoosh, the area covered by the fierce wind increased to one kilometer. The heartbeat of Zhu Sijia and others accelerated as they retreated far away in succession. Meanwhile, at one corner of the world beyond the highest heaven where the spirit of Ye Chuan was located, an astonishing change appeared. This seemingly inexhaustible violent energy that existed from immemorial time flew towards Ye Chuan from all direction and became denser and denser. As for the pitch-black sea below, now, there were waves which were several meters tall, and these waves slammed against the rocks of the shore. In the end, along with a thunderous noise, after a 100 meters tall sea wave appeared, suddenly a black tentacle shot towards the spirit of Ye Chuan from below the sea surface. Then, more and more tentacles shot out as a huge tentacle monster was slowly surfacing from the bottom of the sea and the spirit of Ye Chuan was able to sense it. It was not that this violent sea area didn¡¯t truly have any life, rather it was very deep and even the divine sense of Ye Chuan was unable to sense the circumstance of the sea depth. Cyan Lotus Lamp within the body of Ye Chuan suddenly pulsated and became hot like an iron that was heated until red. The sudden appearance of these tentacles was beyond the expectation of Ye Chuan, but he could feel the strong sense of danger. Just the energy fluctuation dispersing in the air was already so dangerous, then what about the entire tentacle monster? Without any hesitation, Ye Chuan subconsciously reversed his technique and his spirit retreated at the fastest speed from this terrifying sea area. In haste, he didn¡¯t even have time to carefully observe this tentacle monster that was surfacing from the bottom of the sea. He only swept it with his divine sense and the latter made him feel a strong sense of danger and he could guess that it might be stronger than Ghost King Dusen. If he was still Heaven Concealing Great Sage at this moment and encountered this kind of accident, then he would not have gotten shocked, instead, he would have been happy and carefully explore this place. But now, if his spirit didn¡¯t escape, then it was just courting death! An ear piercing sounds came as the huge tentacle monster accelerated to surface, moreover, hundreds of thousands of tentacles shot towards Ye Chuan at lightning speed. On the nameless deserted island, Ye Chuan suddenly opened his eyes after his spirit narrowly escaped that dangerous situation. Then, he immediately used a technique to seal this cyan small crystal technique. But, a black tentacle suddenly sprang out and shot towards the chest of Ye Chuan. That terrifying tentacle had unexpectedly traveled through space and time chasing after him, and in an instant, very powerful energy locked onto Ye Chuan and suppressed him at his position. In addition, tentacle was much more powerful than so-called big killing weapons of Wilderness World! But, at that time, Plague Archfiend Abasi suddenly made a move. He directly transformed into his three-eyed toad form and rushed forward while roaring regardless of his safety. Then, standing in front of Ye Chuan, he opened his mouth and spat out his fate demonic flame. The black tentacle was burned, but its offensive power didn¡¯t decrease. Swish, it brushed past Plague Archfiend Abasi and continued to stab towards Ye Chuan behind him. It appeared as if it wouldn¡¯t stop until it killed Ye Chuan and absorb his blood and qi. And at that time, ear-piercing sounds resounded in the sky as if even more tentacles wanted to travel through time and space. ¡°Watch out, Your Excellency!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin toughened his scalp and rushed over as countless vines sprang out from the ground around Ye Chuan. But, before these vines could form an obstruction, a hint of red light suddenly streak across the sky. With the help of Plague Archfiend Abasi, the suppression on Ye Chuan had decreased, but he didn¡¯t retreat, rather he used Dragon Slaying Flying Sword which was gifted to him by Seventh Elder. He used all his strength while circulating eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and cut this tentacle. Then, in the void, a scream resounded, then an angry roar. And since the cyan small crystal man was sealed, this voice became smaller and smaller, moreover, the violent energy fluctuation in the air also dispersed slowly. Only that piece of tentacle on the ground which was still burning was the testament of what had happened just a moment ago. Chapter 420: New Talisman A dangerous situation which made people sweat profusely finally passed. At this moment, sea demon warriors and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had already left, leaving behind only Zhu Sijia, Plague Archfiend Abasi and Old Demon of Mount Yin. Ye Chuan was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, carefully observing that piece of tentacle on the ground. After encountering the fate demonic flame of Plague Archfiend Abasi, this piece of tentacle had burned, but even after burning for a good while, there was no trace of being burnt, merely, it had softened a lot. Slowly, the fate demonic flame disappeared from its surface and only this piece of tentacle was left on the ground. At a quick glance, it looked just like a black twig, but sensing it carefully, one could feel a burst of vitality, accompanied by a powerful energy fluctuation as if that powerful tentacle monster would befall in this Wilderness World at any time. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak, and Zhu Sijia and others also didn¡¯t dare to make any sound, they just watched this tentacle nervously. After swallowing a few medicinal pills, the injuries of Ye Chuan quickly improved and the violent energy fluctuation within his body gradually calmed down, practically merging with his meridians and bones, in addition, some part of it settled in his dantian, making that qi cyclone beside several Heaven Swallowing Talismans even denser. Now, condensing a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman was right around the corner. ¡°Rhodes, have you ever seen this kind of thing?¡± Ye Chuan asked, breaking the silence. ¡°I don¡¯t know, I have never seen nor heard of it. There are many evil spirits in Five Fingered Buddhist Cave, but I have never heard of this kind of evil spirit.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin shook his head. Just sensing the energy contained within this tentacle, he felt fear. As an old evil spirit that was peak Daoist Master realm, he could also be counted as well experienced and knowledgeable, but he had never seen such a strange and terrifying thing throughout his life. ¡°What about you, Abasi?¡± Ye Chuan looked towards Plague Archfiend Abasi who had the highest cultivation in this group. Just a moment ago, if it wasn¡¯t for this archfiend coming out bravely to stop the pressure of tentacle monster, then he might have already died in this nameless deserted island. ¡°I also have never seen it.¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi also shook his head. Although he had similarly come from the world beyond the highest heaven, even after looking everywhere within his memory, he knew that he had never seen such a thing. There was always the sky beyond a sky, there were many places he had never seen, and there were also many evil spirits he had never seen. After hesitating for a moment, he said: ¡°But, if my guess is not wrong, then this evil spirit is at least six million years old. It could be counted as an overlord of one place of the world beyond the highest heaven.¡± Plague Archfiend who had similarly come from the world beyond the highest heaven acknowledged that his cultivation was far inferior to that mysterious tentacle monster. That was just one tentacle, if that senior tentacle monster had come in person, then let alone Ye Chuan, even he wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand a single blow. Six million years? Zhu Sijia and others inhaled a mouthful of cold air. Ye Chuan was also shocked. In that black sea area where his spirit had gone, just the energy fluctuation in the air was already so violent, to be able to survive in that kind of condition for more than six million years, what kind of heaven-defying evil spirit was that tentacle monster? Ye Chuan suddenly thought he was lucky as just his spirit had gone to that one corner of the world beyond the highest heaven. If he had gone here with his physical body, then with his current cultivation, meeting that terrifying tentacle monster was the death sentence. It seems this cyan small crystal man that could link up with the world beyond the highest heaven was a double-edged sword. It could be used to explore the world beyond the highest heaven as well as absorb the energy of there, but the slightest bit of carelessness would end up with losing one life. ¡°Noble son Ye, this thing, perhaps¡­¡­, this old bones know a little about it.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch who had been silent until now suddenly said, startling everyone. Then, pausing for a bit, he added, ¡°According to the legend of our Sea Demon Clan, in the distant ancient times, there were many ancient demonic beats in the vast sea. Among them, there was a tentacle monster and it was known as Deep Sea Demon. Legend says that, it would sprout a tentacle every 3000 years, and when it sprouts 3000 tentacles, it would become a Deep Sea Overlord and kill other living beings within the radios of thousands of li. In our holy land Lost City, there are murals of this kind of evil spirit.¡± The cultivation of Sea Demon Patriarch was inferior to Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes and his knowledge was also inferior to Plague Archfiend Abasi who had come from the world beyond the highest heaven, but as the Patriarch of Sea Demon Clan, he recalled many ancient legends. ¡°No matter what kind of evil spirit it is, it is a living creature with flesh and blood, and no matter how powerful it is, it is utterly helpless now.¡± Ye Chuan took a deep breath and suddenly make a shocking move. He grabbed that tentacle and emitted a bright red flame, then prepared to refine this severed tentacle on the spot to seize the energy contained in it. Now, it was not important whether that tentacle monster was that so-called Deep Sea Demon, the most pressing matter was to improve his cultivation base and make a breakthrough. The tentacle which originally was motionless suddenly began to writhe as if it had an independent life, and while writhing, it repeatedly tried to stab Ye Chuan, moreover, a vague roar of tentacle monster could be heard in the sky as if the main body wanted to cross through time and space and come at this nameless deserted island. Ye Chuan swayed, dodging the attack of this tentacle. And at the same time, he circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and the flame on his palm became hotter and hotter, and from time to time, he spat out his vital qi to refine this tentacle. Soon, this tentacle became bright red and became soft, showing the sign of melting. ¡°Your Excellency, I will help you!¡± ¡°So am I!¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi and Old Demon of Mount Yin rushed forward, then sitting cross-legged behind Ye Chuan, they placed their one hand on the back of Ye Chuan and injected their majestic energy into Ye Chuan. Plague Archfiend Abasi also spat out his fate demonic flame to help Ye Chuan suppress and refine that strongly resisting tentacle. The flame in the palm of Ye Chuan flourished. With the help of two experts, he instantly used profound techniques including some techniques that he was able to use only in his previous life. Soon, that mysterious tentacle completely melted and turning into a black light, it entered into the body of Ye Chuan and assimilated with that qi cyclone in his dantian. Then, after seething violently for a while, this qi cyclone simmered down and a new talisman was formed in his dantian. Tentacle Talisman! The long awaited ninth Heaven Swallowing Talisman was finally formed. And at the same time, Ye Chuan trembled and the energy within his body suddenly soared, breaking through to Rank 4 Daoist Master realm. And with a thought, a long whip shaped tentacle suddenly appeared and lashed a big rock, and this big rock disintegrated. The power of 162,000 jin suddenly erupted! One Heaven Swallowing Talisman give him 18,000 jin strength, and now, he had nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans, and with them altogether, he shockingly had the strength of 162,000 jin now. Even an average peak Daoist Master realm expert don¡¯t have such an abnormal strength. Cultivating this Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets he had obtained in God Burial Valley, his progress was slow. He needed extraordinary efforts and opportunities to make a breakthrough, but, one the breakthrough was achieved, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds! With just eight Heaven Swallowing Talismans, he was far from being the opponent of Ghost King Dusen and was even unable to stop his one move, but what about now? Ye Chuan stood up and holding his head high, he uttered a long, loud cry as his fighting spirit soared. Chapter 421: The eve of war Ye Chuan retracted the long whip shape tentacle and carefully observed it. As long as he circulated the tentacle talisman within his body, he could freely control this tentacle. At first glance, this whip was basically the replica of that mysterious tentacle. It was similarly black and it similarly had sharp barb all over its tip. Lashing others with this whip, it would leave behind a deep bloody scar or even tear a large piece of flesh. But, sensing it carefully, it was also different from that mysterious tentacle to some extent. One could feel a vague domineering aura from it, but its energy wasn¡¯t violent. And perhaps, because the tentacle talisman had just condensed, or perhaps, his own cultivation base was still low, its energy still wasn¡¯t sufficiently strong, Refining just a section of the tentacle was already so powerful, if he could kill that tentacle monster and seize its entire essence energy, then what kind of change would this tentacle talisman have? Ye Chuan had a strong desire to try this and he had an impulse to explore that black sea domain of the world beyond the highest heaven once again, but, this was just a thought, it was not realistic to put this thought into action in a short time. Now, that tentacle monster might be waiting for him to deliver himself to its doorstep, so going to that black sea area once again might just junking into a trap. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, you¡­ what realm did you breakthrough now?¡± Little Long¡¯er asked, waking up Ye Chuan from his thoughts. Now, Little Long¡¯er more and more unable to see through Ye Chuan. In the past at Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, relying on his innate skill and doughty body, he was able to fight alongside Ye Chuan. Now, the gap was getting bigger and bigger. Every time Ye Chuan condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman, not only the strength of Ye Chuan increase sharply, his cultivation would also advance by leaps and bounds, moreover, his body would also change qualitatively. And now, after condensing nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans, even when standing still, he made people feel a vague pressure. Little Long¡¯er was especially sensitive to this kind of pressure. He felt as if Ye Chuan had transformed into a true demonic dragon. ¡°What do you think?¡± Ye Chuan smiled, not answering directly. ¡°Broke through several levels, peak Daoist Master realm?¡± Little Long¡¯er asked as sensing the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan was already not any inferior to Sea Demon Patriarch and Old Demon of Mount Yin. ¡°Kakaka, in my opinion, Rank 7 Daoist Master realm.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin also joined the conversation. But even after sizing up Ye Chuan, he was also similarly unable to see through the cultivation of Ye Chuan. He was a peak Daoist Master realm expert, but even he was unable to see through Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation, this was unusual. Zhu Sijia and others also looked over. A hint of confusion and surprise was flashing through their eyes as they were also similarly unable to see through Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation. Only Plague Archfiend Abasi raised his eyebrows as if he sensed something, but he said nothing. ¡°Jiajia, what do you think? What realm do you think I, your husband, have reached?¡± Ye Chuan looked at Zhu Sijia wearing a white robe and asked with a bad smile. ¡°In my opinion, you still have yet to reach peak Daoist Master realm, but you¡­., you should have reached at least Rank 7 Daoist Master realm. But¡­¡­, but, who is your wife? Pah, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia subconsciously answered, then, seeing that bad smile on the face of Ye Chuan, she suddenly realized, then pretending to be angry, she stamped her feet and adopt an attitude of scolding Ye Chuan with a red face. ¡°Hahaha, I am very regretful say that you all are wrong. This senior apprentice brother has just broken through to Rank 4 Daoist Master realm. Rhodes, come, let¡¯s have a three hundred round battle and see whether my whip is more powerful or your vine is more powerful!¡± Ye Chuan laughed and jumped to one side, then suddenly taking out a whip-shaped tentacle, he called out Old Demon of Mount Yin. After condensing tentacle talisman and breaking through to Rank 4 Daoist Master realm, he was itching to test the power of this talisman and see how different his current fighting power was. This was a very important matter because the fierce battle was right around the corner. And before you understand your opponent, it was more important to know oneself in detail first. One should understand the limit of their endurance and power, like that, one could make a correct decision at the critical moment. Now, Nan Tiandu was not present, so he naturally chose Old Demon of Mount Yin to test his power. Although Plague Archfiend was more powerful, his cultivation was a little higher for the current Ye Chuan. First, it was more suitable to test his power against Old Demon of Mount Yin who was peak Daoist Master realm expert. ¡°Kakaka, okay, Your Excellency, be careful, here I come!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and rushed forward without any ceremony, then with a vine coming out of his palm, he initiated a fierce attack. Ye Chuan circulated tentacle talisman within his body and along with a whistling sound, a whip-shaped tentacle swept horizontally, cutting off the vine in the palm of Old Demon of Mount Yin. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin exclaimed and became serious. Now, he used 70% of his power, and pointing at the ground, soft shoots quickly appeared on the ground. Immediately after that, those soft shoots transformed into hundreds of thousands of vines and gushed towards Ye Chuan. Each vine was several times taller than an average human and they were swaying left and right like snakes. But, Ye Chuan stood still and once again swung that whip tentacle horizontally. And wherever the whip tentacle goes, vines there were cut into pieces. ¡°Your Excellency, be careful, I am going all out.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin roared and no longer restrained himself. He used all his power to fight against Ye Chuan. But, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t use Dragon Slaying Flying Sword or Iron Blooded Banner or so on treasures to fight, he didn¡¯t even use his techniques, he just circulated tentacle talisman within his body, facing the challenge. The whip tentacle in his hand changed infinitely, he would easily make it short or long as he pleased, moreover, sometimes, he swept horizontally and sometimes, he made it stab straight forward like a javelin, in addition, sometimes, the whip tentacle would appear behind Old Demon of Mount Yin from underground and initiate an attack. Old Demon of Mount Yin was having a hard time dealing with this continuously changing whip tentacle attack as if it was his natural enemy. The innate skill of Old Demon of Mount Yin was different from the common run. Fighting one on one and a frontal attack was not his strong point, this was exactly the opposite of Nan Tiandu. A surprise attack and crowd fight was his forte. After three hundred rounds, Ye Chuan occupied advantage, Old Demon of Mount Yin was unable to do anything to Ye Chuan. None of his vines was unable to reach Ye Chuan. ¡°Hahaha, well, so satisfying! Rhodes, try hard, otherwise, you will lose next time!¡± Ye Chuan laughed and took the initiative to jump out of the battlefield. Then, sitting down cross-legged on the rock, he began cultivating. As for Old Demon of Mount Yin, after the battle, he quickly understood the might of tentacle talisman and also understood his current strength. ¡°Mei Chuanfeng, be sure to always stay beside that Ghost King, otherwise, you will become a dead snake.¡± Ye Chuan muttered and thinking of that overbearing Mei Chuanfeng who was bullying people by flaunting his powerful connection, he smiled coldly. Even though Mei Chuanfeng was similarly peak Daoist Master ream expert, his fighting power was beneath Old Demon of Mount Yin. In a one on one fight or ambush, Ye Chuan was completely confident in killing this fellow! What was truly tricky was Ghost King Dusen and that so-called Blacksnake Archfiend. If Blacksnake Monarch, the formidable enemy of his previous life, truly arrive in Blacksnake Residence, then, his group was screwed, it was useless to even if they hid at the bottom of the sea! Chapter 422: Sacrifice ceremony The time quickly passed and the sacrifice ceremony of Blacksnake Clan was held as scheduled. Now, it was night, but the entire Blacksnake Residence was brightly lit. People were hitting on the streets to celebrate this grand day. On the blacksnake square, there were even more people, it was crowded with the disciples of Blacksnake Clan, natives of the island and merchants and overseas loose cultivators that had come from all places to bursting point. In the middle of this square, there was a towering platform, or it could be called an altar. This altar was completely made up of large pieces of crystal stone plates and there were ancient runes carved on it. Around this altar, spiritual qi was very dense and a majestic energy fluctuation was rippling in the air, clearly, there was layer upon layer of restrictions. Moreover, groups of elite disciples of Blacksnake Clan holding sharp swords were guarding around this altar. And not far away, there was the biggest battalion of blacksnake legion. The soldiers were wearing armor from head to toe and they were prepared to set out at any time, taking strict precautions against people making the disturbance. After the night arrived, more and more people rushed towards this square to take a look at this sacrifice ceremony. And since there were many merchants and oversea loose cultivators that came from all corners of the seas, there were many unfamiliar faces and it was impossible to examine their background one by one. A melodious sound of bells resounded throughout the entire island. A large group of Blacksnake Clan disciples rushed out uniformly and strengthen the defense around the square. At first glance, along with those guards, there were at least several tens of thousands of elites maintaining order in this site. With sacrifice ceremony about to begin, people were restless and they compete with each other to squeeze to the front, but no one dare to touch the security line drawn by the disciples of Blacksnake Clan. Behind the security line, the disciples of Blacksnake Clan were standing as if they were some kind of devotees, and the consequences of touching the security line was kill without any pardon. After the thirteenth sound of bell, a group of servants entered in a single file, carrying all kinds of tributes. There were all kinds of fresh fruits, exotic delicacies and also all kind of worldly treasures and techniques. In an instant, the treasures made this altar resplendent. But, servants were still coming in an endless stream, carrying a treasure. Below the altar, exclaim could be heard repeatedly, and the eyes of everyone was burning hot. Unfortunately, no one dared to have any thoughts about the treasure on the altar. AS the overlord of East Sea, Blacksnake Clan was a big tree with deep roots. For thousands of years, they had plundered unknown numbers of worldly treasures, and now, all of them were before the eyes of everyone, moreover, all of them were the best stuff. In order to hold this sacrifice ceremony, Blacksnake Clan had taken out their treasures in succession. After 9,981st sound of bells, the big shots of Blacksnake Clan finally took the stage. The first one to enter was patriarch who was said to be bedridden because of qi deviation ten years ago. Although he had a commanding presence, his complexion was sallow and his eyes didn¡¯t have any spirit, it truly appeared as if he was not in a good condition. On the other hand, Great Elder of Blacksnake Clan who was following closely behind the patriarch made people filled with deep veneration. Looking from far away, Great Elder of Blacksnake Clan with white beard looked old, but his stature was tall and his body was still robust. He had a square face, hawk nose and looked angry and mighty. He was wearing a battle robe of Blacksnake Clan which had a lifelike black snake embroidered on it that appeared as if it would jump out of his robe at any time. Just looking at him, people would feel fear. As for his power, he was clearly more powerful than the patriarch who had sallow complexion. According to rumor, he had already reached Half-Sage realm more than one hundred years ago. Some people even said that he had already broken through to Sage realm in secret, but it was unknown whether this information was true or false. After another melodious sound of bells, the patriarch and elders of Blacksnake Clan sat down cross-legged on the altar, then, while injected their energy into this altar, they loudly chanted the sutra pass down within their clan from generation to generation, starting this sacrifice ceremony. According to the legend, after chanting this sutra, they should bring out 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls, and then they will be able to summon the guardian of Blacksnake Clan, Blacksnake Demon God. For thousands of years, Blacksnake Clan had already vanquished all powerful opponents to become the sole overlord of East Sea. However, patriarch and elders weren¡¯t satisfied with just this, they were very ambitious. They yearned to conquer other sea areas to become the sole overlord of the four seas. This time, they wanted to summon Blacksnake Demon God to promote their clan¡¯s prestige, and request Blacksnake Demon God to use his great technique to raise the cultivation of their clan¡¯s experts. Of course, their request also includes helping patriarch cure his injuries caused by qi deviation. The sound of chanting sutra reverberated in the ears of everyone, and slowly, the wind and clouds in the sky above the altar changed. The sky was clear just a moment ago, but now, dark clouds suddenly appeared, and this layer upon layer of dark clouds seethed as a violent energy fluctuation descended from the sky. It vaguely appeared as if a time and space passage leading to the world beyond the highest heaven was opening. The on-looking crowd made noise again and they looked somewhat terrified. In Wilderness World, there were dwellings and paths left behind by the experts who had proceeded to the world beyond the highest heaven. According to the rumor, there were even some experts that came from the world beyond the highest heaven that were still alive, hiding in some corners of Wilderness World. People already know this rumor, but the rumor was just rumor, no one could confirm whether that was true or false, but seeing the arrival of the expert of the world beyond the highest heaven with their own eyes was completely different. Who knows, after this so-called Blacksnake Demon God arrive here, what would he do? In the crowd, the disguised disciples of Cloud Mist Sect felt uneasy and their complexion stretched taut. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, it is nearly time, should we¡­¡­.¡± Zhu SIjia secretly made a sign to make a move, and seeing that time and space passage above the altar was becoming clearer and clearer, she also couldn¡¯t help getting nervous. ¡°No, don¡¯t be impatient, there is someone else who is more anxious than us.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and calmly waited patiently. Mei Chuanfeng was very hateful and he would definitely kill him someday, but, this fellow was very ambitious, he longed to ascend to the throne of patriarch day and night, thus, with Ghost King Dusen behind him to help, he would certainly not miss this chance. Sabotaging this sacrifice ceremony was the common goal of both Ye Chuan and Mei Chuanfeng, and he would make full use of it. In order to summon Blacksnake Demon God, the patriarch and elders above the altar were willing to spend a large amount of vitality, slowly, all of them began to sweat profusely. And when all of them were exhausted, Mei Chuanfeng would definitely make a move. It was not too late for him to make a move taking advantage of that time. Zhu Sijia suddenly felt the rune in her hand was trembling as she received a message from Old Demon of Mount Yin and then she said to Ye Chuan, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, Rhodes reported that he has already found the place where those 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls are imprisoned.¡± ¡°Good, tell Rhodes, don¡¯t startle the snake by beating the grass, just move according to the plan.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and gave orders. Just after he gave orders, merchants and overseas loose cultivators around him left group by group, spreading out to perform their respective task. On the surface, they were all dressed up as merchants or overseas loose cultivators, but they in fact were elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. Everything was ready, now, they just had to wait for Mei Chuanfeng to make a move. Ye Chuan stayed calm and collected, leading everyone patiently while waiting for a favorable opportunity. For this sacrifice ceremony, Blacksnake Clan had guarded heavily. It was very difficult for outsiders to sabotage this ceremony. They should break through at least three lines of defense to approach the altar where elders and others of Blacksnake Clan were sitting cross-legged. But, if Mei Chuanfeng, this traitor, made a move, then it was very easy to accomplish it. Ye Chuan remained clan, but he was looking forward to Mei Chuanfeng making a move in his heart. He was also waiting to see his performance. Chapter 423: This doll is somewhat strange On the vast blacksnake square, sacrifice ceremony had begun in full swing. And in a secret corner of Blacksnake Villa, a group of guards was busily passing in and out of a small house. Useless junks were piled up around this small house and it was old and worn out. At normal times, even servants didn¡¯t come here, so this place was full of cobwebs. But, little did anyone know that there was a completely different world inside this house, and there was a huge underground space below this house. Inside that huge underground space, people were imprisoned, and all of them were children who were less than seven years old. The hands and legs of all these children were tied up and their mouth was stuffed with clothes or towel making them unable to cry for help. The guards were going in and out of this house, among them, some were bringing out virgin boys and virgin girls, some were occupied with handing over procedure, and some were busy with counting and selecting carefully. The virgin girls and virgin boys that are to be sacrificed, not only had a quantitative requirement, but also had high quality requirement. They shouldn¡¯t be more than seven years old, they should look good appearance-wise, moreover, they should also be healthy without any illness. And since the sacrifice ceremony had already started, 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls should be offered very soon. The guards were very busy and their face was already streaming with sweats, carefully examining and selecting these virgin boys and virgin girls kidnapped from various regions. Although the mouth of these children was blocked with a piece of cloth, children were whimpering. Every one of them was terrified and tears were streaming down their cheeks. ¡°This one won¡¯t do, why did those fellows send over a kid without one eye? Drag this kid out!¡± ¡°This one also won¡¯t do, his chest has such a big scar, offering such a child, it will surely incur the wrath of Great Demon God, drag him out too!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­. A big bearded man who seemed to be the captain personally examined the group of virgin girls and virgin boys and often roared loudly. He had a commanding presence just like a fierce tiger that was about to eat a person. All guards were blindly subservient to him. They didn¡¯t dare to show the slightest bit of defiance and dissatisfaction. As for those kidnapped children, they became even more terrified and all became paler as they trembled. ¡°Trash, all are useless trash, after going out to the sea for that long, the brought back this kind of trash, all of them were cultivated in vain by the clan. It seems no one will truly do the job with diligence unless several heads are rolled¡­¡­¡± The big bearded man grumbled and swore as he squatted down to examine the next child. He directly stretched his hand inside the cloth of the other party to examine whether this child had some wounds and also to examine whether his skeleton had developed abnormally. This was a routine inspection, but this big bearded man was dumbfounded all of a sudden as he felt a strange sensation from his palm. This child was ice-cold, and more importantly, he couldn¡¯t feel the heartbeat of this child as if this child was dead. ¡°Damn it, they even brought back the dead to make up the number, which fellow brought back this kid?¡± This big bearded man was furious and with his killing intent soaring, he was about to flip out. Sacrifice ceremony was already reaching the end, and he had to deliver 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls now, but there was a dead among the children, if he delivers an already dead kid to offer as the sacrifice, then wasn¡¯t that blaspheming the Demon God? Moreover, wasn¡¯t that courting death? ¡°Captain, he isn¡¯t dead, eyes¡­., his eyes are still moving!¡± A follower standing behind this big bearded man whispered, providing an explanation. At this moment, he was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. The big bearded man was dumbfounded again, and carefully examined again. The eyes of this child were truly moving and even appeared as if he was smiling. No, this is just an illusion! The big bearded man shook his head and carefully examined again. This child was still smiling and appeared as if he was laughing silently. But, from his palm that was pressed against the chest of this child, he was still feeling just ice-cold and there was no body warmth and heartbeat. This child is abnormal, something is wrong! The big bearded man shivered. This strange situation and this strange smile greatly frightened him. Moreover, he vaguely felt as if he was hearing an indistinct laughing voice of this child. ¡°Guards, guards, throw this child out!¡± This big bearded man hastily retracted his hand and loudly gave orders. It was clear that he could easily swat this strange child to death, but for an unknown reason, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart and he didn¡¯t dare to make a move. ¡°Captain, is this the child?¡± A slightly hoarse voice came from behind this big bearded man, then a hand stretched out in front of him. That had was grabbing a disheveled hair and under this disheveled hair was a bloody head. This was clearly the head of a middle-aged person. His face was twisted in fear. It was unknown what kind of terrifying matter he saw before he died. The big bearded man immediately recognized that this head belonged to that follower who was standing behind him. Since that close follower had died, then who was standing behind him at this moment? The big bearded man trembled and his teeth chattered. Now, there was this strange child in front of him and there was a mysterious person standing behind him. His close follower who had followed him for many years was killed less than one meter behind him and his head was brought in front of him, still, he actually couldn¡¯t hear any strange noise. Now, was the person standing behind him a ghost? This big bearded man who acted like a tyrant in former days was trembling and didn¡¯t dare to make any rash movement. He didn¡¯t even dare to turn around to take a look at the circumstance behind him. He could only pray in his heart for other guards to notice this circumstance and rush over to rescue him. Unfortunately, this sole hope was also extinguished quickly. Heavy footsteps came from behind him, then a corpse was thrown in front of him, then second, third¡­¡­ Now, 18 corpses were neatly piled up in front of this old bearded man. All the guards inside and outside of this small house had already become a corpse. The only survivor was this big bearded man. ¡°Your Excellency Rhodes, we luckily didn¡¯t fail the mission, everything is resolved.¡± A disciple of Cloud Mist Sect walked over and respectfully reported. ¡°Kakaka, good, well done.¡± The slightly hoarse voice resounded behind big bearded man again, ¡°Take action according to the plan after changing into the uniform of these guards, and quickly move out, it¡¯s almost time.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect quickly changed their clothing, disguising themselves into the guards of Blacksnake Clan. And seeing about a dozen quick and fierce experts with powerful energy fluctuation, ice-cold eyes as if a pair of blades, this old bearded man knew that they were veterans who killed people without batting an eyelid. His heart suddenly jumped ferociously and he even more didn¡¯t dare to move and shivered even more violently. ¡°Ai, you all want to enter the stage, but what about me? In any case, I am also a Daoist Master realm expert and a lot older than you all, how can I only watch you all taking action?¡± A faint voice came. It was even hoarser than the voice of Old Demon of Mount Yin. The small child rolling on the ground who clearly didn¡¯t have any body temperature and heartbeat stood up as he spoke. Now, he had a sharp dagger in his hand and he was making a gesture of cutting as he faintly said, ¡°Your Excellency Rhodes, you say, how should we kill this man? Should we cut his throat or dig out his heart to serve it with wine?¡± The puppet doll had a smile on its face. It looked delicate and cute, but the words it said could frighten people to death. After Ye Chuan had Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and so on experts, he had come out to take action after a long time. He had been staying inside the space of Cyan Lotus Lamp with nothing to do. Thus, since he had a chance to come out again, he was very excited and his eyes were shining like a great devil. He didn¡¯t resemble a small child at all. ¡°No¡­¡­, don¡¯t kill me, no¡­¡­¡± This big bearded man was scared out of wits, and he turned around wanting to run away, but his legs softened, and he fell down stumbling on something on the ground. Then, when he looked up, the tip of his nose just happened to hit the dagger in the hand of puppet doll Hei Kui, and seeing this smiling strange child, he was so scared that he nearly lost his consciousness. ¡°Not killing you is also fine, but when someone comes to transmit orders, what should you do, this lordship doesn¡¯t need to tell you, right?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin squatted down and laugher as a vine sprang out from his palm and wandered about the body of this big bearded man. At this moment, this pitiful big bearded man could clearly see the appearance of Old Demon of Mount Yin who had been standing behind him, and then, with a ghastly pale face, he continuously nodded his head. Chapter 424: I am the patriarch On the blacksnake square, the bells were still ringing and the atmosphere of the sacrifice ceremony was getting more and more lively. The final moment was coming very soon! Each and every one of the disciples and guards of Blacksnake Clan was excited. The patriarch and elders of Blacksnake Clan that were sitting cross-legged on the altar looked even more radiant. Although they were physically exhausted and they had spent a large amount of their vitality, their spirit was renewed and excited as they loudly chanted the last segment of the sutra. The altar made up with crystal stones emitted a cyan light, and slowly, these cyan lights gathered together and formed a huge cyan light beam, soaring towards the skies. The dark clouds in the sky seethed more violently and at the end of this cyan light beam, a huge time and space door appeared indistinctly and a majestic and violent aura of the world beyond the highest heaven descended from the heaven which was accompanied by a hint of roars. In addition, an invisible but powerful pressure that blotted out the sky and covered the earth flooded downward. On the square, regardless of common disciples or Half-Sage realm experts, all simultaneously felt an innate pressure. And looking carefully, one could see a vague snake phantom behind the time and space door which was roaring angrily wanting to rush out. The legendary Blacksnake Demon God was about to befall. The guards around the altar suddenly retreated like a tidal wave and drove the on-looking spectators away, opening a large empty area. Then, under the escort of guards, many virgin boys and virgin girls walked over, offering the most valuable tributes. After that, over hundred bare-back guards stepped forwardly bravely. All of them were fierce and tall holding a heavy and sharp sword. They could cut off the head of many children with one slash of this sword. The children were terrified, but they had nowhere to escape, and the guards pushed them forward. The on-looking crowd made commotion upon seeing this. ¡°Heavens, 8,000 virgin girls and virgin boys, did they seriously lost their mind?¡± ¡°What Blacksnake Demon God, this is clearly an evil great devil of the world beyond the highest heaven! Beheading 8,000 virgin girls and virgin boys, would these fellows of Blacksnake Clan truly able to wash their hand clean?¡± The on-looking people could no longer keep their calm, they became restless as all kinds of remarks flew everywhere. But, they were just moving their mouth, no one dared to step forward to stop this. A small number of hotheaded experts rushed up, but they were immediately hacked to death by the disciples and guards of Blacksnake Clan. The whimper of children, the screams of on-lookers, the angry shout of guards and the sounds of fighting¡­¡­, all mixed together as the square fell into chaos. But, the heartless elders and patriarch of Blacksnake Clan sitting on the altar were unaffected, they continued to chant the remaining segment and their voice became louder and louder. As for that time and space gate and blacksnake phantom, they became clearer and clearer and the aura of the world beyond the highest heaven became even stronger. A hint of ice-cold sword light suddenly streaked across the sky at that moment. Then, a cold voice coming from far away surpassed the noise of the square, ¡°Blacksnake Clan, you all should be killed!¡± A tall white-robed man rushed straight towards the elders of Blacksnake Clan on the altar. His white-robed was blood-stained and he was holding a sharp sword. One man and one sword initiated an attack at Blacksnake Clan full of experts. White Dragon Sage who had left without bidding farewell from sea dragon boat stepped forward bravely at the final moment of this sacrifice ceremony, wanting to kill the elders of Blacksnake Clan on the altar. Many disciples and guards of Blacksnake Clan rushed up, but not a single one could obstruct his step. Either their chest or glabella was pierced by the sharp sword in the hand of White Dragon Sage. This White Dragon Sage who was prepared to die was unstoppable and his momentum was even stronger than a first-class assassin! From the moment he left the sea dragon boat, White Dragon Sage didn¡¯t expect to return alive. As long as he could save his wife Chu Hongniang and his daughter, he was willing to die the cruelest death. The power of a Half-Sage realm expert was already astonishing, but when they didn¡¯t care about their life and death, Half-Sage realm expert was even more heaven-defying. Unless an expert who was on the same level as Ghost King Dusen came out, no one could stop him, and anyone trying to stop him was just courting death! An ice-cold sword light illuminated the sky and sword qi swept through the square, causing blood to splatter everywhere. All the experts and guards of Blacksnake Clan fell as White Dragon Sage broke through the layer upon layer of obstruction. Finally, he jumped onto the altar and stabbed his swords towards the Great Elder of Blacksnake Clan. ¡°Bai Rulong, others fear you but this lordship is not afraid of you! Dare to make trouble here, do you truly think that you are invincible?¡± The eyes of Great Elder shone with a pallid light, and a snake phantom appeared behind him which rushed towards White Dragon Sage. But, White Dragon Sage was still indifferent, he just raised the sword in his hand and then chopped down. The snake phantom was cut into two half, but at the same time, White Dragon Sage shook and his complexion sunk as he was poisoned by this snake phantom. ¡°Kill!¡± White Dragon Sage coldly spat out this word and continued to rush towards this Great Elder as he thrust his sword straight towards the latter¡¯s chest. The poison of that snake was very powerful, in an instant, the poison had already spread to his internal organs, making his entire body black. If average people was in his current position, then they would have hastily retreated, very anxious to detoxify this poison. But, White Dragon Sage completely ignored it. He had long been prepared to die the cruelest death, what could this small amount of poison count as? ¡°Bai Rulong, are you crazy?¡± Great Elder was unable to remain calm, he quickly stood up and looked solemn. He was even somewhat pale and afraid. Although his cultivation was much stronger than White Dragon Sage, when all was said and done, he had yet to truly breakthrough to Sage realm. Moreover, at this moment, Bai Rulong didn¡¯t care about life and death, so he was unable to have any advantage and might even die under Bai Rulong¡¯s sword if he was even a bit careless! Sacrifice ceremony was ongoing and was at the critical moment, so Great Elder truly was honestly unwilling to stand up to deliberately complicate the issue, but since White Dragon Sage was bearing down menacingly, he could no longer sit down on the ground and was forced to stand up to meet the enemy. ¡°Great Elder, I am coming to help you!¡± Patriarch with sallow complexion also stood up and rushed over with a sharp dagger in his hand. ¡°Thank you, patriarch, let¡¯s cooperate to kill him!¡± Great Elder relaxed inwardly, then holding a snake-like cane in his hand, when he was just about to stop the sharp sword of White Dragon Sage, he suddenly felt pain on his chest and the energy he had been gathering within his body for a long time dispersed. The dagger in the hand of the patriarch had ruthlessly stabbed Great Elder and had just happened to pierce the heart of the latter from behind. ¡°You¡­¡­, Your Excellency the Patriarch, you¡­¡­¡± Great Elder turned around with great difficulty and seeing the culprit was Patriarch, he looked as if he couldn¡¯t believe what he had seen and confused. The other elders on the altar stopped chanting upon seeing this and they also looked shocked and confused. ¡°Hahaha, Great Elder, open your dog eyes and see who I am, hahaha¡­¡­¡± The patriarch roared with laughter, then reaching out his hand to his face, he suddenly tore off an extremely thin skin, revealing a handsome young face. He was none other than Mei Chuanfeng. ¡°Boy, it¡¯s you¡­¡­, Patriarch, he¡­¡­¡± Great Elder swayed and nearly fell to the ground. ¡°I threw him into the snake den to feed snakes, from this day onward, I, Mei Chuanfeng, am the true patriarch, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Mei Chuanfeng roared with laughter. As he was able to personally inflict a serious injury to the Great Elder and everything had gone according to his plan, Mei Chuanfeng was extremely excited. He had been waiting for this day for a very long time. Chapter 425: Internal strife The sudden change stunned everyone on the altar. The square also suddenly became quiet. The eyes of everyone were fixed on Mei Chuanfeng. Now, this profligate noble son had truly become the focus of everyone. No one had thought that this Mei Chuanfeng would actually revolt at this critical moment. In addition, beyond the imagination of everyone, he had actually already killed the real patriarch and wore his skin mask to disguise as the Patriarch and openly ascend the altar, and when the guard of Great Elder was lowered, he unleashed a fatal move. Above and below the altar, everyone was endlessly shocked. White Dragon Sage who had rushed over with dense killing intent was also similarly shocked and paused on his steps. ¡°Mei¡­¡­ Chuan¡­¡­ feng, you traitor, I will kill you!¡± Great Elder was very angry, he stepped forward and attacked Mei Chuanfeng wanting to break his skull, the result, before he could make a move, he felt pain from his wound, he was unable to stand stably and he vomited a mouthful of blood. This blood was black in color and had a pungent smell. The dagger of Mei Chuanfeng was not only sharp but was also smeared with deadly poison! ¡°Hahaha, old patriarch was an ill ghost, he delayed many important matters of the clan, and since you are following such an ill ghost, Great Elder, you should die too, accept your fate.¡± Mei Chuanfeng rushed over and ferociously stabbed Great Elder again, once, twice¡­, in one breath, he stabbed Great Elder about a dozen times and laughed, ¡°Hahaha, old bastard, drop dead, drop dead! I, Mei Chuanfeng, am the real patriarch now, and only under my lead, our clan will reach the new heights, submit to me and prosper, or oppose me and perish, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Mei Chuanfeng roared in laughter and ferociously attacked Great Elder without giving any chance. Comparing their cultivation base, there was a huge gap between him and Half-Sage realm Great Elder, but after he stabbed Great Elder with a poisoned dagger from behind, Great Elder suffered a heavy injury and Great Elder was unable to match him. ¡°Protect the Great Elder!¡± ¡°Brothers, come, kill Mei Chuanfeng, this traitor!¡± The trusted subordinates of Great Elder finally reacted and pulled out their sword simultaneously, but before they could rush up, their partners beside them stabbed them with a sword. Mei Chuanfeng had already been preparing for a long time and had already bought supports as well as secretly won over many experts of the clan. In addition, he had secretly arranged the experts on his side to make an ambush. Now, Blacksnake Clan that dominated East Sea welcomed bloody internal strife. All the disciples and guards that were loyal to Great Elder and the rebel forces on the side of Mei Chuanfeng begun to kill each other. And this blacksnake square crowded with people quickly fell into chaos. ¡°Mei¡­¡­ Chuan¡­¡­ feng, do you think you can kill me with only this?¡± Great Elder who had suffered a heavy injury finally calmed down. Now, although he had been stabbed more than a dozen times and he was bleeding like a pig, he unexpectedly was still standing tall and ferociously counter attacking Mei Chuanfeng, a gloomy snake phantom again appeared behind him. Then, when took a step forward and was about to use his deadly move to kill the traitor Mei Chuanfeng, he felt pain again and his entire body shook. He looked down and saw a sharp sword had pierced through him from behind and he could see the sword tip on his chest. Under great fury, Great Elder couldn¡¯t wait to kill Mei Chuanfeng and for a moment, he forgot that White Dragon Sage was standing behind him. The sword of White Dragon Sage was not coated with deadly poison, but his cultivation was far higher than Mei Chuanfeng, thus, this sword stab thoroughly cut off the vitality of Great Elder. In addition, White Dragon Sage had used his energy on the sword, as a result, the internal organs of Great Elder were turned into minced meat with his sword qi. ¡°No¡­¡­, Big brother¡­¡­¡± On the altar, a figure rushed up. And among the two poisonous arm-thick snakes entangled around his body, one flew towards White Dragon Sage and the other changed towards Mei Chuanfeng. Third Elder who was doing his utmost to chant sutra to summon Blacksnake Demon God finally reacted and unleashed his killer move. Among the five elders of Blacksnake Clan, Second Elder, Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder silently stood in the neutral position, but they were already bought by Mei Chuanfeng in secret. Only Third Elder had always been completely loyal to Great Elder. In this sacrifice ceremony, he was also the one who exerted the most effort at the critical moment. And after being shocked for a moment, he dashed ahead regardless of his safety and attacked with all his strength, wanting to kill both White Dragon Sage and Mei Chuanfeng. But, at the same time, a group of elite experts jumped over the altar and stood in front of Mei Chuanfeng, protecting the latter to retreat. In addition, they joined hand to stop the attack of Third Elder. Now, above the altar, there was foul wind and rain of blood, and below the altar, there was also glint and flash of daggers and swords. It was chaos everywhere and people were running around everywhere in a panic. Only a group of people was standing still, bidding for their time. Not only they didn¡¯t run away everywhere, instead, they gathered together, but they were wearing different kinds of dresses. Some were wearing the dress of overseas loose cultivators, some were wearing the standard armor of Blacksnake Clan¡¯s guards and there were also some who were wearing the dress of the elite disciples of Blacksnake Clan. ¡°Kakaka, Your Excellency, should we attack now?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others had already gathered behind Ye Chuan at an unknown time, and looking at this bloody battlefield, Old Demon of Mount Yin couldn¡¯t control himself and was ready to make a move. He was dying to immediately rush over and kill all around. Since Mei Chuanfeng had truly made a move and suddenly started the bloody rebellion, for Ye Chuan and others, this was a very rare golden opportunity! ¡°No, let¡¯s wait a bit more.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and calmly watched the changes. Mei Chuanfeng had started the rebellion as scheduled and White Dragon Sage had also appeared. Now, Blacksnake Clan was in chaos and this sacrifice ceremony was also forcibly interrupted. But, for Ye Chuan, the time to make a move still hadn¡¯t arrived. He was waiting for one person, Ghost King Dusen. Blacksnake Clan had many experts, whether they were loyal to Great Elder or the rebel forces of Mei Chuanfeng, all of them were powerful. But, the one who truly made Ye Chuan have misgivings was none other than Ghost King Dusen with heaven-defying cultivation. Attacking Ghost King Dusen, this heaven-defying evil spirit, without careful consideration was very troublesome. In the midst of this battlefield, Ye Chuan was calmly considering everything. He was spreading out his divine sense to look for the whereabouts of Ghost King Dusen. And after a little while, he found his target. On the roof of a palace not far away from this square, Ghost King Dusen was standing still wearing Ghost King Cloak. He was indifferently looking at the chaos in the square. Even when Mei Chuanfeng was almost crushed repeatedly by Third Elder, he remained indifferent. It appeared as if he was an unconcerned party here, but sensing him carefully, Ye Chuan sweated profusely. At an unknown time, the energy fluctuation of Ghost King Dusen had risen to the extreme, and he was contending against the pressure descending from heaven. And in the sky, a roar that could terrify people was coming from the time and space gate, in addition, the snake phantom was getting more and more solid, and it was glaring at Ghost King Dusen who was standing at the roof as if it wanted to dive down straight to him. The pressure was coming down in torrents, and Ghost King Dusen with the highest cultivation base was bearing the brunt of it! Not good, this so-called Blacksnake Demon God is still being summoned! Ye Chuan was very nervous in his heart. Chapter 426: The battle between snake and ghos t From the sky, snake-like lightning began to fall accompanied by ear deafening thunders. The time and space gate above the cloud became clearer and clearer, and that snake phantom also became even clearer. It roared and twisted around, wanting to rush out of this time and space gate. In addition, the pressure also became heavier. On the square, now, it was even more chaotic and bloody. Upon hearing the news, even more disciples and guards rushed over and joined this chaotic war. Those loyal to Great Elder and Mei Chuanfeng killed each other in this battle. Blacksnake Clan had always been very ambitious and their means were very cruel. They had already been looking forward to dipping their finger in other sea areas and even the mainland, so how could the weak patriarch with qi deviation lead the clan to the glory? Although Great Elder was outstanding, he had always been very loyal to the patriarch and had an obstinate attitude towards the matter of clan expansion. Thus, many disciples and elites had already been dissatisfied with him in their heart. Moreover, there were several elders that complained a lot, merely, they didn¡¯t dare to make any actual moves. In such a circumstance, very ambitious Mei Chuanfeng with the support of Ghost King Dusen broke this delicate balance and the internal strife exploded out of hand. Slowly, along with more and more clan disciples and guards joining the rebel group, the rebel group gradually occupied the advantageous position, killing the troops loyal to Great Elder everywhere. Anxious Mei Chuanfeng was very excited to see this unexpected advantage and he hoped to achieve victory before Ghost King Dusen would make a move. ¡°Withdraw, Great Elder has ordered, immediately flee from Blacksnake Residence and raid again in the future choosing the optimum time!¡± The Third Elder of Blacksnake Clan anxiously ordered, and under the protection of his bodyguards, he hastily withdrew. Even though the sword of White Dragon Sage had stabbed through him, Great Elder still hadn¡¯t died. He was being carried away by Third Elder. And looking carefully, one could see that Third Elder was injecting his vitality into Great Elder while fighting to help Great Elder continue to hold on to that last breath. Since patriarch had already died under the scheme of Mei Chuanfeng, now, Great Elder absolutely cannot die! For the clan disciples and guards that were loyal to Great Elder, Great Elder was their support. If he fell, then everything will collapse. ¡°Hahahaha, chase, kill them all, leave none behind!¡± Mei Chuanfeng ordered and looking at hastily retreating Third Elder¡¯s group, he roared with laughter and was endlessly excited. ¡°From now on, I, Mei Chuanfeng, am the true patriarch, submit to me and prosper, or oppose me and perish. Third Elder, be sensible and quickly kneel down to surrender, otherwise, you are dead. Your disciples, your wife and children and everyone related to you will be killed on the spot, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± After plotting for a long time, the throne of patriarch was finally within his sight, so Mei Chuanfeng couldn¡¯t help roaring with laughter. And although the phantom of Blacksnake Demon God was condensing more and more in the sky along with lightning and thunder, and everyone was frightened, he nevertheless was fearless. He just chased and killed the remnants who were loyal to Great Elder. As for everything else, he left them to Ghost King Dusen. Honglong, after another thunder, countless snake like lightning exploded above everyone. Many people fled everywhere to hide, and some fell to the ground. Now, looking up, one could see a huge snakehead above the cloud layer. That terrifying Blacksnake Demon God had finally crossed the time and space gate, arriving at this island. It emitted such a powerful pressure that even peak Daoist Master realm experts were terrified. ¡°Retreat, cancel the action, immediately retreat to the sea dragon boat, quick!¡± Ye Chuan commanded loudly. Seeing that ferocious snakehead in the sky, his heart was also in jitters. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect became nervous and they immediately flew away stepping on their flying sword, quickly leaving this bloody blacksnake square. The guards of Blacksnake Clan who didn¡¯t have eyes rushed over to intercept, but they were instantly pierced by flying swords. Over hundred disciples of Cloud Mist Sect flew away together in low altitude after hearing the order of Ye Chuan. Behind, Ye Chuan however stood still, and after pondering for a little while, he retreated to the edge of this square and hid in one secret corner to watch the changes. He had made Zhu Sijia and others to retreated hastily in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, but they had yet to rescue their target and Mei Chuanfeng was also not dead, in addition, he still wasn¡¯t completely sure of the identity of this Blacksnake Demon God, so how could he leave so easily? ¡°Your Excellency, I will leave behind to watch the circumstance, you can retreat first!¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi said. At this moment, he, Little Long¡¯er and Old Demon of Mount Yin were closely following Ye Chuan. In the distance, they could vaguely sense the aura of puppet doll Hei Kui together with 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls, they also hadn¡¯t retreated yet. ¡°No, there is something I have to confirm myself in person. Little Long¡¯er, you go and inform Hei Kui that he doesn¡¯t need to stay here any longer, go quickly!¡± Ye Chuan ordered and sent Little Long¡¯er away. Now, blacksnake square was far more dangerous, although Little Long¡¯er was innately had a doughty body, his cultivation was not sufficient. Compared to Old Demon of Mount Yin and Plague Archfiend Abasi, it was far more dangerous for him to stay here. ¡°Yes, big brother Ye Chuan, you also be careful!¡± Little Long¡¯er accepted the order and transforming into a demonic dragon, he flew away to join puppet doll Hei Kui. Now, beside Ye Chuan, only Old Demon of Mount Yin and Plague Archfiend Abasi were left and they were also the two followers with the highest cultivation. The chaos was going on, Mei Chuanfeng madly chased after the group of Third Elder with his rebel forces, and the more pressing the situation, the more violent his attacks became. When his excitement rose to the extreme point, he began to kill everyone he saw. Even merchants and overseas loose cultivators who were just watching the battle were killed on the spot while roaring with laughter. Now, he resembled great devil who killed everywhere. Mei Chuanfeng was endlessly excited while roaring with laughter. But, Ghost King Dusen who was standing on the roof however was solemn and his complexion was all the more stretched taut. And a drop of sweat flowed down from the face of this Sage realm expert. The greater part of the aura emitted by Blacksnake Demon God that had come out from time and space gate was pressuring Ghost King Dusen. This Ghost King Dusen who had remained invincible after waking up in the bamboo forest of Cyan Sand Island finally met a powerful opponent! Crackle, a large number of snake-like lightning descended from the sky. Many people who were still fleeing on the square were terrified, then, their entire body was electrocuted and they collapsed on the ground. From ordinary warriors to Daoist Master realm expert, anyone who was hit by this lightning strike was killed. Mei Chuanfeng who was killing freely while laughing trembled and looking up at the time and space gate in the sky, he finally reacted. Then, under the protection of his personal guards, he hastily retreated. But, before he could leave this bloody square, a strange sound came from the sky, it appeared as if that huge blacksnake was roaring angrily and struggling to completely break out of that time and space gate. After that terrifying head had already arrived, now its huge body was coming, and at this moment, more than half of his more than thousand meters long body had already come out. ¡°What Blacksnake Demon God, it¡¯s just a snake, see how this lordship will kill you!¡± Ghost King Dusen suddenly held his head high and uttered a long, loud cry, then flying over, he took the initiative to attack ferociously. Now, the battle between Sage realm experts appeared in front of everyone. Chapter 427: Ghost Passage Along with the hissing sounds, the big snake of the sky accelerated to come out of the time and space gate, then transforming into a middle-aged man with human head and snake body, it rushed straight towards Ghost King Dusen. Boom, a loud explosion sound resounded as if the heaven was collapsing. Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demon God ferociously collided against each other. And both of them let out a muffled groan as the result of this collision. As for everyone else, they suffered a disaster as a ferocious shockwave sudden spread all around. In the sky, the thick layer of dark clouds was torn apart and the time and space gate above the cloud layer was also torn and it disappeared. On the ground, sand flew about and stones hurtled through the air, and that towering altar was uprooted and sent tumbling far away. In addition, building around the square also collapsed, making a big mess. As for those who were unable to escape in time, some were crushed on the ground, some had their entire bones broken and some were even directly turned into a meat pulp. But, without expectation, this shockwave tore the cloth of everyone into shreds. Mei Chuanfeng was fortunate, he just happened to hide in the safe place, but, he was unfortunate at the same time, he was half a step slow, thus, although his upper body was still neatly dressed, his lower part suddenly felt cold as his shining white buttocks were completely exposed. That toy between his legs was also exposed and was nearly torn up by the roots by that shockwave. Realizing his circumstance, the mind of Mei Chuanfeng who was killing all around while roaring with laughter just a moment ago became a blank space and he subconsciously screamed and used his hands to cover his white buttocks, then ducked into one corner of the palace he was hiding. Now, even if he was killed, he didn¡¯t dare to come out. In the battle between Sages, common people would suffer, and this was just the beginning! Mei Chuanfeng had a whole bag of tricks, he had anticipated the resistance of Third Elder and also had expected the disturbance of Blacksnake Archfiend. Unfortunately, he had never expected Blacksnake Demon God to be so powerful, even this backer Ghost King Dusen was unreliable now! A serious violent collision occurred one after another. In the sky, Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demon God were locked in a fierce battle, both of these Sage realm experts spared no effort to kill each other, giving rise to that terrifying shockwaves one after another. Now, there were already huge cracks on the ground. The entire Blacksnake Villa was shaking. Many servants were desperately fleeing everywhere, even clan disciples and guards had joined their ranks to flee for their life. Regardless of people loyal to Great Elder or Mei Chuanfeng, they were running away like mad. At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their mind, that was to run away for their lives, the farther the better. Boundless fear quickly spread throughout the Blacksnake Residence. Some people trembled and hid on the spot, they were itching to dig a hole and bury themselves in it. Even more were fleeing desperately and recklessly boarded the boats to go out to the sea. Looking down from the high altitude, now Blacksnake Residence looked just like an ant nest that was about to be flooded. People were rushing towards the boats docked at the harbor like ants while wailing, screaming and shouting for help. And every shockwave would crush this crowd of people to the ground. The battle between two Sage realm experts was enough to destroy the entire island. Even an ancient sect also couldn¡¯t endure such a terrifying destructive power. In an extremely short period of time, as if hit by hurricane and tsunami, countless buildings collapsed and countless ancient trees were uprooted in Blacksnake Residence. The taller the building, the faster it was destroyed. The sea dragon boat docked at one seashore was the first one to sail out to the sea far from Blacksnake Residence. The moment Zhu Sijia and numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect landed on the deck, experienced Sea Demon Patriarch immediately ordered to set out in full speed, and they quickly left behind Blacksnake Residence far away. ¡°Grandpa, wait a minute, noble son Ye has not come back yet.¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili urgently said. ¡°Heavens helps the worthy, don¡¯t worry, noble son Ye will be fine. Even if he truly ran into some dangers, we cannot help him now, first, we need to wait for this storm to pass.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch remained unmoved and ordered to keep going forward. Only after reaching dozens of li away from Blacksnake Residence, the sea dragon boat slowly stopped. Looking back at this moment, Blacksnake Residence had already become a small black dot far away. They were already far away, but they could still feel shockwaves occasionally. Even though they were already dozens of li away, these shockwaves were still so powerful, how could people in the island survive this? The complexion of everyone changed and their heart was in jitters. ¡°Blacksnake Residence is finished, Blacksnake Clan, this tumor is finally eradicated.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch muttered to himself. Sea Demon Clan had been push aside and was suppressed by everyone. Blacksnake Clan, this local tyrant, was one of them. In tens of thousands of years, unknown numbers of their clansmen had fallen in the hands of Blacksnake Clan, so when sailing in the vast sea, they had no choice but to stay far away from the East Sea as much as possible. Now, personally seeing such a big tumor was annihilated, he was naturally elated. But, thinking of Ye Chuan whose life and death status was unknown, his complexion involuntarily darkened. The battle in the sky of Blacksnake Residence lasted for three days and three nights. Merchant ships that had successfully escaped from Blacksnake Residence all sailed far away to other islands and some even sailed to another sea area. Sea Dragon Boat however remained at the same position. After three days, they confirmed the battle had ended, so they carefully sailed back to the Blacksnake Residence. And even before they reached the shore, Zhu Sijia impatiently stepped on her flying sword and flew away, looking for the whereabouts of Ye Chuan. Numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect closely followed behind her. Even Sea Demoness Hai Lili followed after Zhu Sijia completely ignoring the persuasion of her grandfather. The entire island was in a big mess. Flourishing Blacksnake Residence had changed into a barren land and the atmosphere of the island was shrouded with dense death aura. After taking a big detour, Zhu Sijia and others finally managed to find blacksnake square according to their memory. Now, the majestic square of former days had already changed beyond recognition. There were rocks and rubbles everywhere. In addition, they would fall into a hole if they took step carelessly. What was even more astonishing was, in the middle of this square, there was an unfathomable hole, and one could hear vague sounds that resembled ghost wails as if this unfathomable hole was the passage to the Death World. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia looked all around while shouting loudly, and she unconsciously walked closer and closer to this black hole. Seeing the current appearance of blacksnake square, Zhu Sijia was nervous, in addition, since she couldn¡¯t find even the trace of Ye Chuan, she panicked even more. A cloud of sand and dust flew up and a figure suddenly burst out from this dense cloud, then tightly hugged the panicked Zhu Sijia. Zhu Sijia was caught unprepared and she screamed, then unsheathing her sword, she ruthlessly slashed out. ¡°Jiajia, don¡¯t be afraid, it¡¯s me.¡± The voice of Ye Chuan resounded as this figure dodge the attack of Zhu Sijia and pulled her away from the black hole. ¡°Be careful, stay away from this Ghost Passage, the farther the better!¡± Ye Chuan looked solemn and pulled Zhu Sijia far away to one side. Now, his face was covered with mud and dust, looking very embarrassing, but just surviving was already hard enough at that time. The battle between Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demon God had harvested the life of many living beings. In the end, he didn¡¯t know whether Ghost King was forced to the helpless position or he used some kind of powerful technique, unexpectedly, he forcibly opened up the Ghost Passage and dragged Blacksnake Demon God into it, disappearing from this place. According to the legend, outside the world beyond the highest heaven, there were even vaster worlds beyond, like there was always the sky beyond sky. Among them, there was a Ghost World with vast ghost qi. If ordinary people with flesh and blood entered that world, they would definitely die. Now, even with the cultivation and experience of Ye Chuan, seeing this passage, his heart was in jitters, moreover, he was worried that everyone would be drawn into it, or Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demon God would rush out at any time. Chapter 428: Ruins ¡°Noble son Ye!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Seeing the figure of Ye Chuan, Hai Lili and others quickly gathered and were excited. It was not easy at all to survive that fierce battle. ¡°Abasi and Rhodes are nearby, look for them.¡± Ye Chuan instructed. Just after he had spoken, a huge three-eyed toad soared towards the sky and transforming into a tall ox headed person, he landed behind Ye Chuan. His stature was tall, but he was swaying while walking, moreover, his entire body was covered with blood. Those invisible shockwaves had wounded him, nearly cutting him into pieces. Shortly after the appearance of Ye Chuan, Plague Archfiend Abasi rushed out from the cloud of sand and dust. Although he was seriously injured, under his protection, Ye Chuan was completely unscathed, only was covered with mud and dust. Everyone worked together and not long after, they dug out Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes. Compared to Abasi, he was even more seriously injured, his spine was nearly broken by those terrifying shockwaves. Although his cultivation was higher than Ye Chuan, unfortunately, he didn¡¯t have the protection of Abasi, so, he was nearly killed by the aftereffect of the battle between Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demon God. In the battle between Sages, common people would suffer, even peak Daoist Master realm expert wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand a single blow if he was unable to escape in time. At that time, rustling sounds came from all around this ruins. A lot of snakes came out from the midst of the ruins. Just like Ye Chuan and others, they had come out from underground to see the light of day again. Blacksnake Residence, this snake island was basically an oversized snake nest. In addition, Blacksnake Clan was skilled in controlling snakes, so many disciples of Blacksnake Clan cultivated many poisonous snakes. But, this battle between Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demon God destroyed this flourishing Blacksnake Residence in a moment, bringing disaster upon unknown numbers of innocents, on the contrary, a lot of snakes hiding underground survived this disaster and after this battle was over, they crawled out in succession. A rustling sound came again from not far away. Ye Chuan turned over to look outside the blacksnake square, but he felt that that sound had come from not far away from where those virgin boys and virgin girls were imprisoned in the past. ¡°Eh, could it be¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan rushed over and dug up the pile of debris, then he vaguely sensed a familiar aura. Sure enough, not long after, he could hear a weak voice from underground. Everyone immediately cooperated to dig out and a huge underground space appeared in front of them. Little Long¡¯er and puppet doll Hei Kui were in the front and behind them, there were numerous children, and seeing Ye Chuan and others, everyone burst into tears. Without the instruction of Ye Chuan, everyone hastily rushed down to save them. All of these children who survived luckily were saved. Roughly, there were at least 800 of them. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, didn¡¯t I instruct you to take Hei Kui and leave quickly, how¡­..¡± Ye Chuan squatted down and personally examined Little Long¡¯er and helped him dress up his injuries. When the shockwaves spread all around, Little Long¡¯er turned into a demonic dragon at the entrance of this underground entrance, withstanding most of the impact of those shockwaves. Otherwise, let alone 800, not even one of these children would have survived. Little Long¡¯er had bravely stepped forward at the critical moment, but his injuries were also very serious. His bones were broken in many places, fortunately, he was a demonic dragon that was famous in the world beyond the highest heaven for a doughty body, otherwise, he might have already died without leaving behind even a residue. ¡°Your Excellency, don¡¯t blame Little Long¡¯er, I insisted on staying behind, if you want to punish someone, punish me.¡± Old evil spirit Hei Kui walked over and took the initiative to explain the circumstance to Ye Chuan, admitting his error. Ye Chuan looked towards this puppet doll Hei Kui with respect. He had truly never expected that a great devil who had once killed people like flies would actually step forward bravely and risk his life at the critical moment to save so many children. ¡°In this life, I might never be able to get rid of this current body, might never be able to reconstruct a human body, and remain as a puppet doll forever, so I want to find some little companions in advance who will play together with me.¡± The old evil spirit Hei Kui laughed at himself. He was a great devil throughout his life who disregarded lives, but when people suddenly looked at him with respect for the first time, he was somewhat embarrassed. ¡°Hei Kui, you truly have enough little companions, unfortunately, Chu Hongniang is not here, I wonder whether her daughter is among these 800 children.¡± Ye Chuan looked towards these children who had survived this disaster, and suddenly recalling Chu Hongniang, he felt somewhat sad. But, just after he spoke, not far away, two figure rushed out from the cloud of dust. The man was wearing a white robe and his stature was tall. The woman was gentle and had a graceful figure. They were none other than Redline Lady Chu Hongniang and White Dragon Sage Bai Rulong. After jumping on the altar to assassinate Great Elder of Blacksnake Clan, White Dragon Sage didn¡¯t continue to fight, he seized the chance when Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demon God were fighting ferociously to search for his wife Chu Hongniang. And after he found his wife, they hid themselves to dodge the shockwaves. ¡°Bai Rulong greets noble son Ye!¡± White Dragon Sage quickly walked over and respectfully greeted Ye Chuan. As a Half-Sage realm expert, he had wandered around the seas for many years and he was regarded as a celestial being by people, moreover, he had always been proud and aloof. But, only in front of Ye Chuan, he was not cold and aloof. Although his voice was still cold, his tone was respectful, he would never forget the kindness of Ye Chuan saving his wife and son. ¡°Brother White Dragon is too polite.¡± Ye Chuan also bowed and returned a courtesy and just when he was about to speak, he stopped as he saw Chu Hongniang who had just burst out of the ground exclaiming, and immediately after that, she rushed over to the group of children and hugged a trembling little girl whose entire body was covered with sand and dirt, ¡°Yingying, your mother finally found you, finally found you.¡± ¡°Mother¡­¡­¡± The little girl wailed, and Redline Lady Chu Hongniang also cried. As for White Dragon Sage who never showed his emotion in front of others, his eyes were also moist. He had killed all the way from south sea to east sea and had experienced many difficulties and hardships, and finally, after narrowly escaping death, his family was reunited, what else was happier than this moment? White Dragon Sage also walked over and hugged both mother and daughter. He said nothing, but Redline lady Chu Hongniang and his daughter Yingying cried even more. Men were like a mountain, in the critical moment, they had to bear the pressure and overcome difficulties, and find a slim chance of survival in a hopeless situation, moreover, should hold up the heaven for his family. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia walked over and quietly stood beside Ye Chuan. Watching crying Chu Hongniang, her eyes were also moist and finally, she couldn¡¯t help shedding tears. This sight stroke a chord in her heart and Zhu Sijia also wanted to cry. In these past three days in the sea dragon boat, she felt one day was like a year, and if Ye Chuan had died in the island, then she wouldn¡¯t know how she would spend the rest of her life. ¡°It¡¯s okay, everything has passed.¡± Ye Chuan reached out and grabbed the right hand of Zhu Sijia. Then, their fingers tightly intersected with each other. Hai Lili also wanted to walk over, but seeing this scene, she quietly turned around. But, the rustling sounds were getting bigger and bigger as even more snakes crawled out from the underground. At that moment, Ye Chuan suddenly sensed another familiar aura. ¡°Hahaha, I am alive, I am still alive, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± A figure suddenly darted out from underground. His entire body was covered with a large number of snakes. Now, he was laughing heartily while throwing away dead snakes from around his body. He was none other than Mei Chuanfeng. This kid, he actually survived! Ye Chuan was very surprised, but then, he smiled, his smile was very brilliant. Chapter 429: Dying with grievances ¡°I am alive, I am still alive, I am the well-deserved patriarch, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Mei Chuanfeng who had narrowly escaped the death roared with laughter. He was endlessly excited, but he was unable to laugh very soon. Looking around, he saw that once flourishing Blacksnake Residence had turned into ruin and Blacksnake Clan had turned into history. He didn¡¯t have any followers around and his huge clan no longer existed, only he had survived, was he still the patriarch? The heart of Mei Chuanfeng sunk and become cold, all of his efforts were completely wasted. And what was even worse was, he saw Ye Chuan and others walking towards him and his face became pale. ¡°You¡­¡­, what do you want to do?¡± Mei Chuanfeng hastily stood up and retreated as he shouted. But, when retreating, he suddenly felt something slippery under his leg. Looking down, he saw that he had stepped onto a poisonous snake. This was a golden back poisonous snake. This snake hissed ad raised its head to bite. This frightened Mei Chuanfeng so much that he screamed and hastily humped to one side. Now, his complexion became even paler. ¡°Nothing, noble son Mei Chuan, congratulation, you are still alive. Now, come, we will settle our accounts.¡± Ye Chuan had a smile yet not a smile, then he begun to count, ¡°In Cyan Sand Island of South Sea, since I didn¡¯t conform to your one sentence, you attacked murderously and chased me all the way to the seashore; you were a grand Daoist Master realm expert, but you actually went all around kidnapping children, ruining many families; then relying on the support of Ghost King Dusen, when we met again, you shouted to kill me¡­¡­, well, noble son Mei Chuan, you say, how do we settle these accounts?¡± Ye Chuan walked forward while speaking, moreover, he smiled without a hint of killing intent. But, Mei Chuanfeng was more and more nervous in his heart. The brighter the smile of Ye Chuan, the more uneasy he felt. In the end, he trembled and spoke incoherently, ¡°No¡­¡­, not like this, noble son Ye, don¡¯t¡­¡­ don¡¯t kill me, I can give you a lot of treasures, don¡¯t kill me¡­¡­¡± ¡°Oh, you still have a lot of treasures? But, how come I cannot see any, take them out to show.¡± Ye Chuan sneered. The entire Blacksnake Residence had already turned into ruins, even if there truly was some treasures here, they might have already broken into pieces. Even if they were not destroyed, they should be buried deep underground, it would be impossible to find them. Mei Chuanfeng sweated profusely and felt around his body. Now, let alone a treasure, he didn¡¯t even have a piece of copper coin, ¡°Ye¡­¡­, noble son Ye, I¡­¡­¡± ¡°What, what about your treasures, didn¡¯t you have many?¡± Ye Chuan paused and looking at deathly pale Mei Chuanfeng who had nowhere to run, Ye Chuan boldly waved his hand and said: ¡°Rest assured, I will not kill you. I, Ye Chuan, have never killed useless trash, I don¡¯t want to dirty my hands. But, before letting you go, the accounts need to be settled. Since you have neither money nor treasures, how about writing down IOU first and make your clansmen pay me in your place? In addition, tell me where are your Blacksnake Clan¡¯s other strongholds? What kind of treasures and experts are there?¡± Ye Chuan smiled looking at Mei Chuanfeng. Blacksnake Residence had turned into a pile of debris and Blacksnake Clan had collapsed in the space of a night, but as the overlord of the east sea, Blacksnake Clan was a big tree with deep roots. They had many strongholds in various regions. Many clansmen had fled hastily from Blacksnake Residence to those strongholds, and they might also have taken away many treasures in passing. So, since Mei Chuanfeng had not died yet, Ye Chuan naturally wanted to make full use of him. He wanted to think of a way to completely eliminate the remaining forces of Blacksnake Clan and also rob the treasures they had collected. In addition, he also wanted to replace Blacksnake Clan to control this sea area. This time, Ye Chuan originally just wanted to go to Sea Demon Clan¡¯s holy city, Lost City, and escort them back with their sacred treasure. He didn¡¯t have any other thoughts on this vast sea. But, since the opportunity to replace Blacksnake Clan and control this vast sea area had appeared, he naturally wouldn¡¯t miss it easily. ¡°Okay, okay, I will immediately write them.¡± Mei Chuanfeng hastily nodded his head. Ye Chuan signaled and Zhu Sijia immediately gave a pen and paper along with a sea map. Mei Chuanfeng marked all the strongholds of his clan, then took the initiative to write down IOU too and sighed his name. He had written that he owed 800,000 top grade crystal stones as well as 300 boats. In Overseas World, these were the real hard currency. Ye Chuan carefully looked at IOU and nodded his head. Seeing this, Mei Chuanfeng said, ¡°Noble son Ye, look, is this fine?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a good IOU, now, what about the lives of 7,200 you owe?¡± Ye Chuan said. Among 8,000 virgin boys and virgin girls, in the end, roughly just 800 survived, 7,200 died a violent death. Mei Chuanfeng could naturally be held responsible for this. ¡°Ye¡­¡­, noble son Ye, are you reneging?¡± Mei Chuanfeng became anxious and sweated profusely. Now, he was both startled and angry. He had already marked the strongholds of his clan and even written IOU, if Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t let him go, then he had no way out, he had to struggle until death. Merely, even if he risked everything, could he break out of this encirclement and escape? Looking at many disciples of Cloud Mist Sect around him and seeing Redline Chu Hongniang and White Dragon Sage with dense killing intent, the heart of Mei Chuanfeng sunk. Now, Ye Chuan had many experts around him, so even if he dashed ahead regardless of his safety, he feared that he would not be able to rush out. The only way was, either perish together with Ye Chuan or take him as a hostage. Mei Chuanfeng was prepared to make a move, thinking to take a dangerous risk. But, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t give him any chance to make this move, he suddenly retreated far away and said, ¡°Noble son Mei Chuan, it is not that I am reneging, it is just that you have done all kinds of evil. After taking the life of more than 7,000 children, how can you live? I can only send you on your way. If there is next life, then reincarnate as a snake, your disposition and behavior are quite suitable for being a reptile, you are not qualified to be a human.¡± ¡°Surnamed Ye, is your promise just a frat?¡± Mei Chuanfeng angrily roared. After Ye Chuan clearly spoke out, he was truly anxious. ¡°I only said, I will not kill you, but if other people want to kill you, then I will not stop them. Don¡¯t blame me, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for doing so many evil deeds. This is just your retribution. It¡¯s a pity, although you have such white skin, your heart however is even more poisonous than a snake poison. In the end, you harmed others as well as yourself.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and pitifully looked at Mei Chuanfeng. ¡°Brat, I will kill you first!¡± Mei Chuanfeng roared with anger, then suddenly rushed over to grab Ye Chuan as a hostage. The result, before he reached Ye Chuan, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. A clod light flashed as White Dragon Sage made a move, and his sword directly pierced through the chest of Mei Chuanfeng. Immediately upon seeing Mei Chuanfeng, he already wanted to kill this fellow to take revenge, merely, considering the face of Ye Chuan, he had not hastily made a move. And after Ye Chuan clearly stepped back, he no longer had any scruple, he made a move to end the life of Mei Chuanfeng. ¡°Ye Chuan, you¡­¡­¡± Mei Chuanfeng covered his wound and looked at Ye Chuan with great difficulty, then falling to the ground, he died. His eyes were still wide open as he died with grievances. Until death, he had never expected that after luckily surviving the disaster, he would still die in front of Ye Chuan. After racking his brains for many years, he finally killed the ill patriarch and got rid of that powerful Great Elder, but in the end, not only he didn¡¯t have his wish fulfilled to become the new patriarch, on the contrary, he even lost his life. At the final moment of death, Mei Chuanfeng was still gnashing his teeth and his mind was filled with grievances, moreover, he was very unwilling to die, unfortunately, his unwillingness was useless, he died and dispersed here. Chapter 430: Ghost aura After killing Mei Chuanfeng, everyone completely relaxed. They weren¡¯t in a rush to leave, they just stationed nearby. Sea Demon clansmen who never dared to go ashore without careful consideration also disembarked with ease. They took out all kinds of goods and materials to build a temporary campsite. Now, Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demon God had disappeared, Blacksnake Clan was destroyed, Mei Chuanfeng had also died, and the entire island had become a pile of debris, so they didn¡¯t need to worry about exposing their whereabouts. After the entire night of banquet, early in the next morning, people gathered to discuss the next action plan. ¡°Noble son Ye, although there are still many remnants of Blacksnake Clan, the stormy waves have already passed, we should continue on our journey to Lost City, how about it?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch took the initiative to propose. He appeared as if he was impatient. Ye Chuan sipped a mouthful of hot tea and didn¡¯t answer immediately. He looked at Bai Rulong and Chu Hongniang at one side and asked, ¡°Brother White Dragon, what about you? What is your next plan?¡± Ye Chuan rather appreciated Bai Rulong. It was rare to encounter Half-Sage realm cultivator. If he could recruit this kind of expert, then he would have one more strong follower! Ye Chuan appeared calm and composed, but he wanted to recruit this husband and wife in his heart and wanted to bring them along to the Lost City. ¡°Noble son Ye, I am very sorry, I fear we husband and wife cannot leave together with you.¡± White Dragon Sage and Chu Hongniang looked at each other and paused for a bit, then added, ¡°I have discussed with my wife, we will not be going anywhere, we will settle down here in this Blacksnake Residence.¡± The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Sea Demon warriors in nearby tables were surprised and they made all sorts of comments. The current Blacksnake Residence had already become a barren land. The battle between Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demon God , these two sage realm experts, had turned this place into a death land. Just staying here for one night was already uncomfortable. They felt as if countless zombies would appear at any time. If they stayed here for a long time, even if there was nothing dangerous, it would not be good for health, and cultivating here was also very ineffective now. Ye Chuan was also somewhat surprised, but he didn¡¯t question closely, just personally poured a cup of tea to White Dragon Sage and Chu Hongniang. He was very familiar with White Dragon Sage like people, if the other party didn¡¯t want to speak, then it was useless to ask more. If he was willing to say something, then he would speak out without asking. In this aspect, White Dragon Sage and Nan Tiandu were rather similar. ¡°Current Blacksnake Residence is truly not a good place to live and the environment is vile, but, there is also a benefit, average people will not come here. So, living here, we can avoid unnecessary troubles and disturbance. In this period of time, Hongniang and children were very scared, I want to rest with them for the time being. In the past, I was not good, I didn¡¯t take good care of my wife and children. And after resting for some time, I will look for the news of medicinal herbs to treat my son Jiajia as soon as possible.¡± White Dragon Sage said in a low voice, and when he mentioned his son Jiajia who was frozen inside the crystal coffin, he looked dejected. ¡°In addition, although Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demon God have disappeared, they might come back through this ghost passage at any time. I want to stay behind and guard the entrance of this ghost passage in person, I cannot let this Ghost King wreak havoc everywhere again!¡± White Dragon Sage tightly held the teacup and said. Now, the storm had passed and his family was safe, but thinking of danger times, White Dragon Sage couldn¡¯t forget the might of that Ghost King Dusen. He absolutely couldn¡¯t let that tragedy repeat again. This time, his wife Chu Hongniang was safe and sound, but who knows what would happen next time if Ghost King Dusen capture his wife again. ¡°The passage to the world beyond the highest heaven is something that cannot be guarded normally, brother White Dragon, do you have any good idea?¡± Ye Chuan asked. Thinking about that ghost passage on this island, he similarly had misgivings in his heart, and he was worried about Bai Rulong and Chu Hongniang. But the worries of White Dragon Sage was not superfluous, on the contrary, it was a necessity. Although Ghost King Dusen had disappeared in this ghost passage, no one knew whether he had died or not. In addition, no one knew whether the evil spirits on the other side of this ghost passage might come here via this passage, so they had to be careful. Even if Ghost King Dusen never come back again, they must be wary of Blacksnake Demon God rushing out from this passage to Wilderness World again. Seeing the battle between Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demon God in person, Ye Chuan was sure that that Blacksnake Demon God was not Blacksnake Monarch, the formidable enemy of his past life, and also not the avatar of the latter. But even if there was no other connection between them, Blacksnake Demon God might be the subordinate of Blacksnake Monarch. He couldn¡¯t rule out this possibility. And before he had sufficient strength, he absolutely couldn¡¯t let Blacksnake Monarch be aware of his existence. Thinking from this aspect, it was necessary to seal off ghost passage, in addition, the sooner the better! ¡°I know a kind of ancient restriction that should be able to seal off this ghost passage, but, it cannot be arranged with only my strength. Noble son Ye, I am afraid I have to trouble you again.¡± White Dragon Sage openly asked for help. In front of Ye Chuan, he didn¡¯t mince words and he also didn¡¯t put himself in pedestal just because he was a Half-Sage realm expert, he treated Ye Chuan as a friend of the same generation. This was not only because of the favor of Ye Chuan, but also because Ye Chuan had qualification and ability. Although the cultivation realm of Ye Chuan in itself was not up to much, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Plague Archfiend Abasi under his leadership were peak experts of Wilderness World. Being able to subdue and become master of this kind of experts was sufficient to prove the ability of Ye Chuan! ¡°No problem, feel free to speak whatever is needed. Brother Long, this matter needs immediate attention, how about doing it immediately?¡± Ye Chuan agreed without any hesitation so as to avoid the problems that may arise due to a long delay. At the same time, he also somewhat looked forward to seeing what kind of restriction White Dragon Sage would arrange. What kind of restriction was it for even a Half-Sage realm expert couldn¡¯t arrange it alone? Ye Chuan was curious and somewhat looked forward to it. Zhu Sijia and others were even more looking forward to it. Soon, everyone arrived in front of that ghost passage. Under broad daylight, the other places were somewhat hot, but arriving in the vicinity of this ghost passage, they immediately felt chill. In addition, they could vaguely hear wailings of ghosts as if countless specters would rush out from this passage at any time. Those who didn¡¯t have sufficiently solid cultivation had their spirit fall into chaos. The closer they were to this ghost passage, the more obvious that feeling was. Compared to yesterday when they saw this ghost passage for the first time, it appeared even more ghastly, intensifying the uneasy feeling of people. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Sea Demon warriors shrunk their neck and when they were one kilometer away from that ghost passage, all of them coincidentally stopped at the same time. Only White Dragon Sage, Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others walked forward. Chapter 431: Four Seas Dragon King Formation Whoosh, a cold wind was blowing out from this Ghost Passage. When they reached ten meters away from the entrance of this Ghost Passage, even the soul of Ye Chuan shook and he felt very uneasy. The ill wind blowing out from this Ghost Passage was not a simple ill wind, it directly attacked the spirit of people. If one was careless and this ill wind entered the body, then even a Daoist Master realm expert¡¯s vitality would be greatly damaged. This was just a passage, but it was already this dangerous, what about in the Ghost Residence itself? Ye Chuan, White Dragon Sage, Plague Archfiend Abasi and others were solemn as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Those who could survive in Ghost Residence, no matter if it was a demon or the legendary ghost, all would definitely have heaven-defying cultivation base. Those that would come out of this Ghost Passage would at least be at the level of Ghost King or even more powerful! ¡°Kakaka, Your Excellency, let me try to see how deep this passage is!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin raised his right hand, then a vine shot into the Ghost Passage from his palm, going deeper and deeper. 100 meters, 1000 meters, 1,200 meters¡­¡­ The tough vine became longer and longer as it went deeper and deeper into this Ghost Passage. The innate skill of Old Demon of Mount Yin was very unusual. In theory, as long as he had sufficient energy, he could elongate vines as long as he wanted. But, not long after, a layer of frost appeared on the vine and cold qi spread along this vine. Old Demon of Mount Yin shivered and he was forced to cut off this vine, giving up the exploration of this Ghost Passage. Ye Chuan walked over and placing his palm on the back of Old Demon of Mount Yin, he injected his pure energy. Slowly, Old Demon of Mount Yin reverted back to normal. ¡°Thank you, your excellency!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over to one side. He finally understood that this Ghost Passage was something he couldn¡¯t deal with. The dangers of Five Fingered Buddhist Cave, he knew better than anyone else, but the legendary Ghost Residence on the other end of this Ghost Passage in front of his eyes was more dangerous than Five Fingered Buddhist Cave. ¡°Noble son Ye, provide support from the back!¡± White Dragon Sage took a deep breath and suddenly transforming into a strong and vigorous white dragon, he soared into the sky. Then, after issuing a powerful dragon roar, he began to chant a long dragon incantation, using an ancient and profound technique. The ground shook and begun to collapse. Looking down from high altitude, one could see the ground splitting open and caving in. It stretched from blacksnake square to the seashore. Soon, sounds of sea waves resounded as raging sea waves gushed in. In less than half an incense time, the blacksnake square was flooded by seawater. Now, a big lake appeared at the center of this island and it was becoming bigger. The entrance of Ghost Passage was located at the center of this lake and looking from far away, it looked just like a black undersea whirlpool. But, the intriguing matter was, even though the seawater had already submerged the entrance of Ghost Passage, not a drop of water flowed into the Ghost Passage. It seemed that there was invisible energy blocking the seawater. And at the same time, the ground around this lake shook and slowly four tall mountains appeared. Looking from close, these mountains were rocks, but looking from far away, they looked like four dragons that were looking down at this lake. In the sky, dense yang dragon aura fluctuated, and even far away from the lake, one could vaguely hear a dragon roar as if a true dragon was living in this lake. Four Seas Dragon King Formation! White Dragon Sage used his unique technique to lay out a powerful ancient restriction. This was the unique restriction passed down in White Dragon Clan. According to the legend, this ancient restriction could even seal Sages, but although it was powerful, it required an astonishing amount of energy. White Dragon Sage began to sweat profusely and his original robust body also begun to weaken. But, at this time, the earth was still shaking and four dragon-shaped high mountains were still rising, moreover, a layer of white light gradually appeared around them and they began to sparkle, transforming into crystal stones. A crystal stone in the hands of an ordinary person who didn¡¯t cultivate was just a piece of stone that looked nice. But, in the hands of cultivators, its true worth would be seen. They could absorb the energy contained on it to boost their cultivation. Conversely, pouring their powerful energy into a piece of ordinary stone, the ordinary stone would transform becoming extraordinary. And absorbing the worldly spiritual qi in the air for a long period of time, stones could transform into real crystal stones. Under the heaven-defying technique of White Dragon Sage, an astonishing scene appeared in front of people. Four Seas Dragon King Formation, there were two powerful aspects of this restriction. One was moving mountain and sea, thoroughly changing the terrain around. Once someone touches the restriction from inside the Ghost Passage, raging seawater would flood downward, destroying this passage; the other powerful aspect was those towering dragon-shaped mountains beside the lake. They were four restriction cores of this restriction. At the critical moment, these four high mountains could transform into four Dragon Kings and launch a deadly attack on the person who had triggered this restriction. ¡°Rhodes, start!¡± Ye Chuan ordered and flew behind White Dragon Sage. Then, circulating nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he injected his vast energy into White Dragon Sage to provide a helping hand. Old Demon of Mount Yin followed behind Ye Chuan and also provide a helping hand. With the help of two people, the vitality of White Dragon Sage soared and he used his technique again. Those four towering dragon-shaped high mountains beside the lake became even more lifelike, but the dazzling light around them was still not stable enough and it appeared as they could crumble at any moment. Merely after a while, White Dragon Sage weakened again and the energy fluctuation within his body became chaotic, which in turn caused the lake below them to sway. Roar! Along with a roar, Plague Archfiend Abasi also make a move. Enduring his fear of water, he transformed into a three-eyed toad and sent out a mouthful of vital yuan qi to White Dragon Sage from far away. With another Half-Sage realm expert making a move, sure enough, the result was outstanding. The vitality of White Dragon Sage soared, then letting out a dragon roar, he pressed on forward to complete his technique. Instantly, seawater rose sharply and the entrance of Ghost Passage was deeply submerged, in addition, those four dragon-shaped high mountains were completely formed. Those huge dragons guarded the four side of this lake. Now, their dragon head was held high, swallowing worldly spiritual qi in the air, sweeping away worldly spiritual qi within the radius of hundred li. White Dragon Sage became weak again and reverting back to his human form, he slowly floated down to the lakeshore. Ye Chuan also floated down to the lakeshore, and looking at this big lake which nearly occupied one-third of this island, Ye Chuan was astonished. A lifeless barren land, because of this lake and four dragon-shaped high mountains, had a vague vitality and spiritual qi. In the future, verdant and luxuriant trees will grow here again. ¡°Noble son Ye, this is Four Seas Dragon King Formation passed down in our White Dragon Clan, now, please give this island a new name.¡± White Dragon Sage explained. Although he was exhausted, he still looked excited, clearly, he was quite satisfied with this restriction. With this lake and restriction, the life of his family of four will not be boring and lonely, in addition, cultivating here would be very effective. In the future, it would be even better if dragon blood was supplied continuously to this restriction. ¡°Four Seas Dragon King Formation, then, let¡¯s call this island Dragon King Island.¡± Ye Chuan looked around and said. He was sincerely convinced by the means of White Dragon Sage. He wondered if he could use such a technique in his previous life when he was still a Half-Sage realm expert before he became a Great Sage. White Dragon Sage Bai Rulong already had such heaven-defying means when he was still Half-Sage realm expert, later, when he broke through to a Sage realm, he would definitely be an outstanding Sage! ¡°Good, good, Dragon King Island, this is a good name!¡± White Dragon Sage happily nodded his head, and holding his head high, he uttered a long, loud cry. His powerful dragon roar reverberated through the sky above the lake for a long time. Chapter 432: Leaving After Four Seas Dragon King Restriction was laid down, this Ghost Passage was sealed off. Now, it would be difficult for Ghost King Dusen to break out. Looking at this huge lake and four dragon form high mountains, Ye Chuan also secretly sighed with relief as one of his worries had passed. This time, Ghost King Dusen was still secondary, the one that was giving him more misgivings was still Blacksnake Demon God. He worried that the latter was the follower of Blacksnake Monarch, the formidable enemy of his past life. Before breaking through to Sage realm, if he exposed his whereabouts causing Blacksnake Monarch to notice his existence, then even if he went up to heaven or down to Hades, he would be killed! ¡°Brother White Dragon, how many clansmen are there is your White Dragon Clan? How above moving them all here? Then, this Dragon King Island will truly become the residence of dragons worthy of its name.¡± Ye Chuan asked, beating around the bush. Dragons were powerful, and since he couldn¡¯t recruit White Dragon Sage, it was not bad to recruit all the remaining white dragons. ¡°A very long time ago, I left the holy land of White Dragon Clan and traveled outside the territory of White Dragons, so I also don¡¯t know too much about the circumstance of my clansmen.¡± White Dragon Clan didn¡¯t speak much about it. There was a matter he had not mentioned to anyone else other than his wife Chu Hongniang. As a matter of fact, he hadn¡¯t left the holy land to travel outside, rather a long time ago, he fell out with his father over a matter and left his race¡¯s holy land, White Dragon Realm. After that, he never returned. And because the number of white dragons was very low and they rarely came out of their holy land, he had not heard any news of his clansmen for a long time. ¡°Is that so, it¡¯s a pity.¡± Ye Chuan noticed the slight change in the expression of White Dragon Sage and no longer asked again. Then, he suddenly had a thought, and taking out Beauty Reef he had purchased in Treasure Gathering House of Cyan Sand Island, he said, ¡°Brother White Dragon, you have traveled around Overseas World for many years and you are very experienced, take a look, what is this?¡± Lifelike beauty reef appeared in front of everyone. The unique shape and charm of this reef quickly attracted the attention of everyone, making everyone shocked. ¡°Eh, this is¡­¡­¡± White Dragon Sage was also surprised. His gaze didn¡¯t move away from this reef as he carefully observed it and muttered, ¡°It seems to be a frosty reef, but in fact, it contains flourishing vitality, vaguely showing a sign of life as if it truly is a sleeping beauty, strange, what is this? Legendary life goddess? No, doesn¡¯t resemble. A natural coral reef that is produced by worldly spiritual qi? Also doesn¡¯t resemble¡­..¡± Experienced and knowledgeable White Dragon Sage that had traveled all over Overseas World for thousands of years muttered, and the more he watched this reef, the more surprised he became. On the surface, this reef looked just like a coral reef without any power, but how come he couldn¡¯t see through it? Even if a heaven grade flying sword was placed in front of White Dragon Sage, he would not be interested let along be so surprised like this. ¡°Noble son Ye, where did you obtain this reef?¡± After observing it carefully for a while, White Dragon Sage asked. ¡°Treasure Gathering House of Cyan Sand Island, I bought it to start a feud with Mei Chuanfeng.¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°According to the people of Treasure Gathering House, this reef was accidentally discovered and salvaged in the deep sea. As for the concrete details of it, even great appraisal masters of Treasure Gathering House were unable to see.¡± ¡°The master of Treasure Gathering House is not simple, even he was unable to see through this thing. There are not many things he cannot see through in existence. This reef, perhaps, it might have a very profound mystery, or perhaps¡­¡­, it might just be an ordinary reef too.¡± White Dragon Sage muttered for a while and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, if you believe in this brother, how about putting this reef in this Dragon King Lake? We can use the worldly spiritual qi and seawater of this place to slowly moisten it, perhaps, a change might occur someday. At that time, we can know what this thing is and what profound mystery lies within it.¡± White Dragon Sage made a proposal. After examining at this lifelike reef, he was reluctant to part with it. A thing that couldn¡¯t be seen through was truly attractive. Some weapon refining masters were not interested in cultivation, and throughout their life, they might only produce a piece of treasure, but even a small craft they refined would have their lifetime¡¯s painstaking effort and enlightenment. At this moment, experienced and knowledgeable White Dragon Sage who had traveled all around Overseas World for thousands of years was just like a stubborn weapon refining master. He was completely fascinated by this beauty reef. ¡°Fine, Brother White Dragon, then I will be troubling you.¡± Ye Chuan agreed without any hesitation to leave this reef behind. White Dragon Sage was completely fascinated but Ye Chuan was completely indifferent. As a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage who could summon rain and wind, he had seen all kind of profound treasures. Although he also couldn¡¯t see through this somewhat strange reef, it was nothing to him. At that time, in Treasure Gathering House of Cyan Sand Island, he had obtained this reef accidentally without any effort. ¡°No trouble, no trouble at all, if this reef shows any changes in the future, I will immediately inform you.¡± White Dragon Sage happily said. And quickly using a technique, this reef was sunk into the lake. With the company of his family, this lake with waves and such reef, his following life will not be dull and lonely. He could stay in Dragon King Island with ease. As for the medicinal herbs that were required to save his son Jiajia, it was useless to be hasty, he needed to take time to slowly inquire about them. For thousands of years, White Dragon Sage had proudly roamed around four seas, ignoring everyone, but in this boundless Overseas World, he still had a few bosom friends. After settling down, he could use his own connections to slowly inquire about the news. ¡°Brother White Dragon, I will leave the remnants of Blacksnake Clan to you. And to take care of such a big island, it is almost impossible for a single person, so I will leave behind some people to help you.¡± Ye Chuan took out the map where Mei Chuanfeng had marked his clan¡¯s strongholds along with IOU he sighed, then gave them to White Dragon Sage. After that, turning around, he whispered something in the ear of Zhu Sijia. The latter immediately chose about a dozen intelligent and dependable disciples to stay behind. Blacksnake Residence whose name was changed into Dragon King Island had an advantageous geographical position. Merchant ships that went back and forth through East Sea must pass this island. So, if this island was managed well, then they could obtain many unique resources without a doubt. Resources were indispensable in cultivation, if he wanted to dominate Wilderness World once again and fight against the formidable enemies of his previous life, then all kinds of resources were even more indispensable! Before he truly encountered the formidable enemies of his previous life, Ye Chuan begun to take precautions. He will not let off any chance to increase his strength. ¡°Well, noble son Ye, hereafter, if you need help in any matter, then feel free to tell me.¡± White Dragon Sage nodded his head and didn¡¯t refuse the arrangement of Ye Chuan. He knew that Ye Chuan was leaving. ¡°Okay, brother White Dragon, if I truly ran into any difficulties, then I will look for you.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and said bluntly. Then, after bidding farewell to Redline Lady Chu Hongniang, he boarded the sea dragon boat with everyone. Sea Demon Patriarch who was already impatient immediately gave the order to set out, then the huge sea dragon boat quickly sailed far away, leaving behind Dragon King Island towards the holy land of Sea Demon Clan, Lost City. Chapter 433: Blue demons The huge sea dragon boat rode the wind and cleaved the waves, rapidly advancing forward. It quickly crossed the east sea and entered the vast south sea. Then passing Cyan Sand Island, they advanced southward towards the end of this vast sea. After leaving Dragon King Island, Sea Demon Patriarch personally took the helm and navigated continuously as if he was worried that they would encounter another disturbance along the way. And as if there was a pressing matter, he was burning with impatience all the way. The closer they reached to the Lost City, the more excited he became and he also became even more impatient. The huge sea dragon boat rapidly sailed through the sea surface, leaving behind a long string of ripple on the sea surface. The old man was burning with impatience, but Ye Chuan was leisurely and unhurried. After sitting on the deck for several days to experience the local conditions and customs of Overseas World, he entered seclusion to cultivate. They had basically achieved their objectives in the east sea. They successfully killed Mei Chuanfeng, rescued Redline Lady Chu Hongniang and prevented the arrival of Blacksnake Demon God, therefore there was no danger in short term, but hidden troubles still existed. Until he broke through to Sage realm, he needed to guard against the arrival of Blacksnake Monarch, the formidable enemy of his previous life. ¡°Old Rabbit, Yao Empress, since Blacksnake Monarch still exists, what about you all? Did you all go to the world beyond the highest heaven or pass away, disappearing in the long river of history?¡± Ye Chuan sighed. He was able to vaguely sense a hint of familiar aura on that Blacksnake Demon God, that was the aura of Blacksnake Monarch. Now, he was certain that the other party was still alive, making him feel boundless pressure. If Ghost Hand Medicinal King, Blue Eyed Yao Empress and other powerful followers of his previous life were still alive, then Ye Chuan absolutely wouldn¡¯t have felt such pressure. He would have directly gone to look for that Blacksnake Monarch to take revenge. But, now, he could only hide his whereabouts. In this life, although he had Old Demon of Mount Yin, Nan Tiandu, Plague Archfiend and other followers, and their cultivation was also not that shallow, compared to Ghost Hand Medicinal King, Blue Eyed Yao Empress and others, there was a very huge gap. It was unrealistic to rely on Old Demon of Mount Yin and others to compete against Blacksnake Monarch. Exhaling a mouthful of chaotic qi, Ye Chuan cut off his distracting thoughts and began cultivating. Now, he had three ways to contend with Blacksnake Monarch, raise the cultivation of Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, tame or recruit even more powerful yao beast, or cultivate strenuously to breakthrough to Sage realm as soon as possible. Among these three ways, Ye Chuan chose the last way without any hesitation. This was the foundation to make a foothold in Wilderness World and defeat his formidable enemies! Circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans, Ye Chuan absorbed a large quantity of the worldly spiritual qi. Then, his body slowly began to move. This was not his voluntary movement, rather was involuntary movement, and under his white battle robe, his muscles were pulsating. One Heaven Swallowing Talisman gave him the strength of 18,000 jin, and nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans together gave him the strength of 162,000 jin! Once such strength erupted out, even the doughty body of Ye Chuan might not be able to endure and tear up. Circulating such power within his body, all of his meridians were aching and swelling, and he felt as if his entire body was about to explode. In addition, his bones and muscles were making crackling sounds. ¡°First ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans, come out for me!¡± Ye Chuan roared in his heart and circulated a large amount of energy as blood began to seep out from his skin. But, he ignored it. Slowly, a vague qi cyclone appeared within his dantian, fermenting the appearance of the new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. After reincarnation, experience and knowledge of his previous life were the greatest assets of Ye Chuan, and Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets he had accidentally obtained in God Burial Valley was his greatest trust. Compared to Heaven Concealing Secrets, the life technique of his previous life, this technique was far superior. Cultivating like this and condensing 108,000 Heaven Swallowing Talismans someday, let alone Blacksnake Monarch, he would be able to easily crush someone who was thousand times more powerful! This powerful and violent energy not only tempered the bones and muscles of Ye Chuan, but it also encouraged his morale. Slowly, as this energy became stronger and stronger, the fighting spirit of Ye Chuan soared. Now, he was no longer full of nervousness and fear thinking of the day when he would have to fight a decisive battle against Blacksnake Monarch, and slowly, he looked forward to it and was somewhat excited. In his previous life, Blacksnake Monarch was weaker than him or was roughly comparable to him at most. But relying on schemes and intrigues, he trapped him in God Burial Valley. However, in this life, Ye Chuan was cultivating even more powerful Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, and once he broke through to Sage realm and become Heaven Swallowing Great Sage, how could Blacksnake Monarch who was inferior to his previous self be his opponent? ¡°Sage¡­¡­ realm!¡± Ye Chuan yearned and looked forward to this realm. The huge sea dragon boat continued to sail through the vast sea. Very quickly, a month had already passed. In this one month, sea dragon boat passed through many islands, some were desolated and uninhibited and some were boisterous with many merchant ships. But, other than stopping to replenish fresh water, foods and essential materials, sea dragon boat continued to advance day and night. And according to the estimation, they would reach Lost City, the holy land of Sea Demon Clan, after roughly three days. And only after seeing the surrounding had gradually become familiar, Sea Demon Patriarch relaxed and no longer personally took the helm. He just repeatedly went to the deck and look at the scenery around. And looking at the islands they were passing by, the memories of his childhood appeared in his mind. A long time ago, Sea Demon Clan lived in Lost City, only after an unforeseen event, they had to leave their homeland and lead a vagrant life outside. Now, returning to their holy land and his birthplace, this old man was excited and also nervous, in addition, he frequently wiped his big killing weapon. This was a sharp triangular thorn, or one could say, it was a translucent fish bone. It was obtained by the previous patriarch after killing a hundred thousand years old bullhead shark. It was tough and sharp, one stab from it could create a hole in anything, and it was especially ferocious when fighting in water. ¡°Grandfather, grandfather¡­¡­¡± Sea Demoness Hai Lili went to the deck and standing behind Sea Demon Patriarch who was by himself, she asked, ¡°Grandfather, be honest, will we encounter anything dangerous in Lost City? And the true purpose for requesting noble son Ye to come here isn¡¯t to escort the sacred item back rather to deal with the danger in Lost City, isn¡¯t that so?¡± After nightfall, Zhu Sijia and other disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had already entered their cabins. They were either cultivating or resting to recharge. As for Ye Chuan, he had been in seclusion cultivation for days. Only the ordinary warriors of Sea Demon Clan were doing their duty of guarding. So, just Hai Lili was suspicious and noticed the unusual behavior of her grandfather. ¡°There is no danger, we will just take the Neptune Horn and leave.¡± The old man replied and added, ¡°Lili, it¡¯s so late at night, go to rest. Roughly after three more days, we will arrive at Lost City, rest properly. Since it is not easy to return here again, this grandfather will take you around to let you see where this grandfather used to live in childhood.¡± ¡°Grandfather, really?¡± Hai Lili asked, half believing half doubting. Looking at the appearance of her grandfather, it appeared as if he was not lying, but he felt something was wrong in her heart. The old man nodded his head and said, ¡°Of course, really, Lili, I am your grandfather, how can I lie to you? If there truly is a danger, then will I take you there?¡± ¡°Then, fine, grandfather, you should also rest early.¡± Hai Lili also thought so, then turning around, she left. But, after a long time, a sigh resounded. ¡°Lili, this is also for your sake¡­¡­¡± The old man sighed and quietly sized up this wiped clean Bullhead Shark Thorn. At this moment, the dark clouds at the horizon became denser, and along with a cold wind, there was a drizzle. Looking forward, he could vaguely see a deserted island which resembled a loggerhead turtle. Everything appeared quiet, nothing unusual, but the glabella of this old man twitched as he felt an invisible danger. He carefully looked around and saw a thin blue mist had appeared on the sea surface at an unknown time. And under the hazy moonlight, it appeared bewitching and strange. Demonic qi! The heart of this old man jumped and he became tense. Being able to emit blue mist proved that it was a yao beast that was at least 500,000 years old. Such type of yao beasts was commonly known as Blue Demons. In the vast sea, 100,000 years old yao beasts could be found everywhere, but there were not many 500,000 years old yao beasts, and every one of them was the overlord of one region! Chapter 434: Super electric eel The rain continuously hit on the deck making a pitter-patter sounds. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and the warriors of Sea Demon Clan were still sleeping. It was very quiet inside the cabin. On the deck, sea demon patriarch however slowly stood up and tightly held Bullhead Shark Thorn. That blue mist on the sea surface was getting denser and denser, and the area covered was also getting bigger and bigger, gradually surrounding sea dragon boat and moving along with it. Sea demon patriarch frowned with a solemn look. The blue demon hidden under the sea was far more powerful than he had expected. This blue mist was very concentrated, one could vaguely see cyan color in the midst of it. This proved one point, this blue demon had nearly reached one million years and would transform soon. Being able to emit cyan mist indicate that a yao beast had reached at least one million years old, they were commonly known as Cyan Demons. The sea dragon boat was still sailing forward, but slowly, the speed slowed down as if countless invisible ropes had bound it. And at the same time, the dangerous aura suddenly rose sharply as crackling sounds came from under the sea. In addition, lightning would come from under the sea every now and then. ¡°What¡¯s that sound?¡± ¡°Why did the boat stop?¡± The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and warriors of Sea Demon Clan in the cabins woke up in succession and rushed over to the deck. And seeing the current circumstance, the complexion of everyone changed. ¡°Be careful, it¡¯s a nearly one-million-year-old Super Electric Eel!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch warned in a low voice while sweating profusely. After the careful observation for a while, he finally understood what kind of yao beast they had encountered and he became all the more nervous. Electric Eels were very common, there were many in the sea, but usually, they had the life span of only ten or so years. Those that could live for one hundred years were already very rare. As for those that could break through 1000 years, they should be very lucky, either they happened to enter the dwelling left behind by an ancient sage or found some treasures. As for those that broke through 100,000 years or even one million years, they absolutely were heaven-defying yao beasts, even ordinary peak Daoist Master realm experts might not necessarily be their opponent! Crackling sounds became louder and louder as thousands of lightning bolts shot out from under the sea, which changed into a lightning net and bound sea dragon boat. People standing on the deck felt tingling sensation on their feet as if they were getting an electric shock. One sea demon warrior, out of curiosity or falling down because of that tingling sensation, suddenly leaned on the deck fence, exposing the upper part of his body outside the boat. ¡°Watch out!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch cried out in alarm, and rushed over to save him, unfortunately, he was late. A long tail suddenly burst out from the sea surface. There was lightning around this tail. This tail hit that unfortunate sea demon warrior, seriously injuring him, then coiling around his neck, he was flung into the sea. Now, even air bubbles couldn¡¯t be seen on the sea surface. Sea demon warriors had lived in the sea since their childhood, thus, even if they were dragged into the water by someone powerful, even if they were not an opponent, they could at least struggle a little, waiting for reinforcement. But, encountering this nearly one-million-year-old Super Electric Eel, they didn¡¯t have time to even call for help! Sea demon patriarch stopped and he looked nervous. As for the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and warriors of Sea Demon Clan on the deck, their limbs were ice-cold and everyone was pale. It was still raining, the clothes on their body were already drenched making them feel especially cold. At that time, on the calm sea surface, circular ripples suddenly appeared as if many undercurrents had suddenly appeared under the sea. Experienced sea demon warriors knew that that super electric eel hidden under the sea was spinning around the sea dragon boat, looking for new prey. A lightning bolt shot out from the sea surface along with a crackling sound. Hearing this sound, everyone felt as if they were approaching the jaws of death. Fortunately, the material used to build sea dragon boat was special and it was not an ordinary boat or even an armored ship made with iron, otherwise, these dense bolts of lightning would have spread throughout the boat and everyone would have been electrocuted to death. Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others also walked out, and seeing the current situation, their complexion also changed. From the east sea¡¯s Dragon King Island until today, it had always been calm, but beyond their imagination, when they were just about to reach Lost City, they encountered such a powerful yao beast! ¡°Withdraw, everyone, return to the cabin, quick!¡± Sea demon patriarch hastily ordered. Everyone withdrew in succession, but at that time, a huge monster burst out from the sea surface. It was over a hundred meter long, and it practically jumped over the deck. Its entire body was surrounded with countless crackling lightning. It swatted three disciples of Cloud Mist Sect into the water and soon, the seawater was dyed red with blood. ¡°Everyone, returned to the cabin!¡± ¡°Close doors and windows, quick!¡± Zhu Sijia came back to her senses and quickly ordered. Everyone quickly returned to their cabin with a pale face. In water, sea demon warriors were the bravest warriors, but, encountering such a ferocious super electric eel, just courage alone was not enough. Now, no one dared to enter the sea to fight against this super electric eel. Sea Demon Patriarch was the one who retreated the last, but just when he was about to enter the cabin, that super electric eel jumped out of the sea again, and its tail covered in a lightning shot towards him. Fortunately, unlike previous unlucky ones, sea demon patriarch was prepared and his cultivation was also higher. He suddenly dodged the attack of this super electric eel and counterattacked with Bullhead Shark Thorn in his hand. Puchi! A stabbing sound resounded and lightning spread along the Bullhead Shark Thorn to sea demon patriarch. Even though he was peak Daoist Master realm expert, his entire body instantly became numb and his hair stood erect. In addition, in the blink of an eye, he was unable to move as if he was petrified. As for super electric eel that was stabbed by Bullhead Shark Thorn, it fell down on the deck, but in the next moment, using its sturdy tail to flick itself forward, it opened its mouth wanting to directly swallow sea demon patriarch whole. In addition, due to the anger, the lightning around its body became denser, and people standing in the cabin felt their limbs tingling. ¡°Grandfather¡­¡­¡± Hai Lili recklessly rushed out and pulled sea demon patriarch out of the way, but it was too late to pull the latter into the cabin.Lightning spread throughout her body and she similarly felt numb and lost consciousness. ¡°Miss¡­¡­¡± ¡°Quick, protect patriarch and Miss!¡± Sea Demon warriors shouted and rushed over regardless of their safety. The result, they didn¡¯t save anyone, instead, they also fell. The huge electric eel moved around the deck and lightning spread throughout the body of people. Regardless of how many people rushed out, no one could do anything. And although they were not in mortal danger for the time being, everyone felt numb and they couldn¡¯t move their body. They could just wait like a lamb to be slaughtered. ¡°Rhodes, come with me to save them, as for everyone else, guard the cabins!¡± Zhu Sijia gritted her teeth and stepping on her flying sword, she also rushed out like a gust of wind. Then, she pulled out the sword hanging on her waist and attacked the super electric eel that was wreaking havoc on the deck. Such a powerful super electric eel, even Old Demon of Mount Yin didn¡¯t hold certainty to win let alone Zhu Sijia. Rushing up to fight it was tantamount to a moth flying into a flame. But, the circumstance was critical, if she didn¡¯t make a move, then Sea Demon Clan will be wiped out, thus, she couldn¡¯t just look on with folded arms. Chapter 435: Indescribable danger At the critical moment, Zhu Sijia gritted her teeth and rushed out, and beyond her expectation, blood gushed out when she directly stabbed the body of that huge electric eel. Only a little bit more and her sword would pierce through its brain. So easy to deal with it, wasn¡¯t this too simple? Zhu Sijia was dumbfounded. Originally, she only wanted to restrain it, but she had never expected that it was so easy to pierce through such a powerful electric eel. But, in the next moment, she knew that she was wrong. A lightning bolt quickly spread through the sword to her body. She immediately felt numb and became stiff, then lost her consciousness. As for that huge electric eel, it suddenly turned around and ferociously rushed towards Zhu Sijia wanting to swallow her first. This super electric eel had yet to transform into a humanoid form, but it was very sly. It intentionally gave Zhu Sijia the impression of weakness, then seizing the opportunity, it ferociously counterattacked. As long as anyone touches its body, they would be attacked by lightning around its body. At that time, a blackened vine streak across the sky and blocked this super electric eel. Old Demon of Mount Yin also made a move. A tough vine suddenly appeared from his palm. The tip of this vine was sharp like a dagger. This super electric eel was clearly unprepared, this blackened vine bound it and a scream resounded. But, this scream didn¡¯t come from this bound electric eel, rather came from Old Demon of Mount Yin. More than a dozen lightning blots had spread through this vine to Old Demon of Mount Yin, and in an instant, Old Demon of Mount Yin was nearly burned to coke! The innate skill of this electric eel was displayed to the extreme! In terms of cultivation, it had yet to reach one million years which was equivalent to peak Daoist Master realm expert, merely was a blue demon. It couldn¡¯t be considered as a peerless evil spirit of the vast sea; In terms of its body, its body was far inferior to Dragon Clan¡¯s doughty body, even ordinary sword could cut it; in terms of speed, it also couldn¡¯t be considered very fast, moreover, it could merely discharge electricity. But, this one move nearly made it invincible, no one could touch it! Roar! Along with an angry roar, a fireball shot out from inside the cabin, breaking off the vine that connected that electric eel and Old Demon of Mount Yin, then flew towards the electric eel. Plague Archfiend Abasi who had been cowering in the cabin finally made a move. As soon as he had boarded the boat, he had withdrawn to a corner of a cabin as he who feared neither Heaven nor Earth innately feared water. Usually, even if there was big trouble outside, he wouldn¡¯t come out. But, it was different now, he had to make a move. He could ignore other people, but he had to rescue Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin regardless of anything, otherwise, he couldn¡¯t explain to Ye Chuan. The unstoppable super electric eel suddenly swayed and ducked to one side. It clearly had misgivings about that fireball. As long as there was direct contact with bodies, this electric eel would never dodge as it could take advantage to initiate a violent counterattack. But, attacking projectiles such as this fireball was its natural enemy, the lightning around its body was useless. ¡°Use Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows! A low but powerful voice suddenly resounded in the ears of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. Ye Chuan pushed open the wooden door of a secret room and walked out, then coldly looked at this super electric eel. The terrified disciples of Cloud Mist Sect that were hiding in the cabin reacted quickly. They used Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows to make an attack. Just the first round of attack already made a dozen bloody holes on the body of this electric eel. Because of its huge body, even if it dodged, with over a hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, it was suppressed quickly. After that, it whined and jumped into the sea and disappeared. Upon seeing this, everyone relaxed and quickly rushed to the deck to save people. Zhu Sijia, Hai Lili and others couldn¡¯t move, but fortunately, they were not mortally injured. Just after resting for a while, they regained their consciousness. On the contrary, Old Demon of Mount Yin who had attacked in the final moment had the most severe injury. The vine that he shot out from his palm was his distinctive killing move that was difficult to guard against, but he suffered a big loss this time. Other people were hit by only one lightning bolt, but he was hit by dozens of lightning bolts, so he was almost burned to coke. ¡°Your¡­¡­, Your Excellency, help me catch that damned electric eel, I¡­¡­, I want to devour it!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin said, gnashing his teeth. Now, Zhu Sijia and others could already stand up, but he was still lying, unable to move. In addition, although his consciousness was clear, he couldn¡¯t feel his body as if his body had become someone else¡¯s. He could just lie on the ground like a blackened coke and smell the burnt smell coming out of his body, this feeling truly terrible. Ever since he had become the follower of Ye Chuan, he had never been in such sore straits. ¡°Rhodes, I will help you avenge yourself, rest assured. Guards, carry Rhodes in and treat his injuries.¡± Ye Chuan instructed and walked to the deck. After that terrifying battle, everyone didn¡¯t dare to approach the deck, only Ye Chuan alone went there. Looking around, he couldn¡¯t see any trace of that ferocious super electric eel and that blue mist around the sea dragon boat had also disappeared. Perhaps, it was severely injured or perhaps, it was frightened by Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows in the hand of everyone and fireball of Abasi, that super electric eel had disappeared without a trace, not daring to appear again. ¡°It¡¯s a pity, if I had woken up earlier, then would that super electric eel have escaped so easily?¡± Looking at the vast sea, Ye Chuan though inwardly. For Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, this super electric eel was a bitter enemy, but for Ye Chuan, it was a potential follower with a powerful innate skill. Using Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, he would have easily tamed it, making a powerful helper. It had yet to transform into a humanoid form but it was already so ferocious and its cultivation was one step away from Half-Sage realm. If it became a Half-Sage yao beast, then its fighting power would definitely be above Plague Archfiend Abasi! Yao beasts and cultivators were different. For yao beasts, the most powerful aspect was not cultivation realm, rather was whether they had unique innate skill. The innate skill of this super electric eel was very rare and also was very distinctive. In a group battle and chaotic battle, its innate skill could definitely become a killer move. In addition, gathering many yao beasts with different unique innate skills, through clever arrangement and combination, their combat power could multiply geometrically! Ye Chuan suddenly sat cross-legged on the deck! Although that super electric eel had disappeared without a trace, he had a hunch that this yao beast wouldn¡¯t give up in just this fashion, and it was very likely that it would stage a comeback. At that time, he would have a chance to capture it. In addition, he didn¡¯t know whether it was his misconception or not, but Ye Chuan vaguely felt danger, the closer they reached to Lost City, the more obvious it was. But he was not sure whether this danger was coming from that ferocious super electric eel or from somewhere else. The horizon was gloomy and the drizzle never stopped. This night appeared as if it was much slower than any other night before. Chapter 436: Very ferocious yao beas t The sea dragon boat continued to sail forward in this vast sea. The injury of Sea Demon Patriarch was not light. Even though he was the first one to suffer the attack of that super electric eel, even now, his hair was standing erect and his body was emitting a faint burning smell. But, perhaps, he was homesick and impatient, this old man struggled to stand up despite the dissuasion, and then commanded his clansmen to start sea dragon boat and hurry on with their journey even though it was a rainy night. This rain was not big, but along with the cold wind, everyone felt chill. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and the warriors of Sea Demon Clan all shrunk in the cabin. Only Ye Chuan was silently sitting cross-legged on the deck, and vapor curled up from his body as before the ice-cold raindrops reached his body, they would be turned into vapor by invisible energy around his body. This vapor lingered around Ye Chuan and indistinctly flowed beside Ye Chuan like flowing water, reflecting rippling light. Within the body of Ye Chuan, that flowing water shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman was revolving rapidly while emitting powerful energy fluctuation. After coming to Overseas World, among his nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans, the most active Heaven Swallowing Talisman was not Iron Blooded Banner Talisman, rather was this Flowing Water Talisman. In addition, after refining the tentacle of that tentacle monster of the world beyond the highest heaven, he had successfully condensed a Tentacle Talisman and it had also begun to get restless, gradually becoming active. And at that time, a thought appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan, he wanted to jump into this vast sea and have a good swim. In the places with water, Flowing Water Talisman being active was very normal. But, his Tentacle Talisman was also so active, could it be that it also belonged to water and it can display its true might in water? With a thought, a tentacle phantom appeared behind Ye Chuan, and sure enough, worldly spiritual qi in the air rapidly surged and the Tentacle Talisman within his body rotated rapidly, indistinctly surpassing the momentum of Flowing Water Talisman. Crash, at that time, the sound of sea wave came from far away. In the vast sea, the sound of sea wave was nothing unusual, but this sea wave sound was somewhat different. Looking around, nothing could be seen outside of 100 meters, but Ye Chuan suddenly felt danger in his heart. He immediately became alert and stood still with tentacle phantom behind him. Sure enough, after listening carefully, something was truly not right, strange sea wave sounds were coming from all around the sea dragon boat. It came! That super electric eel, it has finally come, it came so quickly! Ye Chuan clapped his hand and Little Long¡¯er who was standing at one side quickly rushed over. And very quickly, he transmitted the order of Ye Chuan to everyone. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t come out to the deck and it was still very quiet inside the deck, but all doors and windows were slightly opened, and one could indistinctly see Dragon Headed Flying Bows from those cracks. Old Demon of Mount Yin also struggled to come out of the secret room upon hearing the news, then snatching a flying sword from one disciple, he gnashed his teeth, ready to make a move. After learning the profound lesson before, he didn¡¯t dare to use his vine to attack this super electric eel, but he vowed to stab it with this flying sword if the opportunity arises! After eating a big loss, everyone already found a way to deal with this super electric eel. They were already prepared to open a distance using flying swords and powerful crossbows to deal with this yao beast. The strange sea wave sounds came closer and closer, now, even ordinary disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and warriors of Sea Demon Clan could hear them. Everyone was tense. If someone had flown into the air, then they would have discovered that although there still was a light rain, the wind had stopped blowing, but sea wave was strangely approaching sea dragon boat from all direction. On the sea surface, there was neither blue mist nor lightning. ¡°Eh, strange, could it be that it is not that super electric eel but another yao beast?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised, and after their distance got a bit closer, he sensed many auras of life. The strange sea wave sounds suddenly accelerated and rapidly got closer and closer, and when the wave was only ten meters away from sea dragon boat, along with a loud bang, over hundred palm-sized swordfishes jumped out of the sea surface and flew towards sea dragon boat. Along with many whistling sounds, these over hundred swordfishes ferociously collided into the sailcloth, doors and windows of sea dragon boat, and died with a smashed head. But, more swordfishes jumped out of the water and flew towards sea dragon boat as if a moth flying toward the fire. In the cabin, disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and warriors of Sea Demon Clan who were ready to make a move were stunned. What was going on here? Did these swordfishes go crazy? Sea Demon warriors who had lived in the sea since their childhood were dumbfounded. They had never seen this kind of situation, but very quickly, they came back to their senses. Under the insane suicide attack of these swordfishes, the hull of sea dragon boat that was made from the bones and skin of sea dragon was completely fine, but the sailcloth and wooden boards covering the cabins quickly cracked and many holes appeared. Then, many swordfishes crazily rushed in through those cracks and holes and bumped into disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and warriors of Sea Demon Clan. And upon collision, they felt stinging pain as if they were hit by a spear. Some of them were unfortunately hit on eyes, forehead or nose and immediately began to bleed. And there were also some who were unfortunately bitten and their skin and flesh were torn off. In the vast sea, swordfishes were very common. These palm-sized swordfishes were usually 20 or so years old, they weren¡¯t counted as yao beast, but their speed was very fast, their head was solid and their teeth were very sharp. They would always appear in a large group. In the smallest group, there were would several hundred and in the large group, there would be thousands upon thousands. Even hungry bullhead shark would flee upon encountering these swordfishes. ¡°Block the cracks!¡± ¡°Get rid of these fishes!¡± Everyone finally reacted and made a move in succession. With the collision with these swordfishes, even if no one was seriously injured, if the sea dragon boat was destroyed, then they would be in big trouble. In an instant, swords and daggers flashed and crossbows¡¯ arrows whistled. Although swordfishes jumping out of the water was powerful, their fighting power was very limited. Even ordinary fisherman could deal with these swordfishes, running into elite cultivators was just courting death. The disciple of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors jointly killed these swordfishes without restraint, and the sea surface was quickly filled with the corpses of swordfishes. Some of them were pierced by the crossbow arrow, some of them were cut into pieces, and some of them had their internal organs destroyed. At least three thousand swordfishes had died. Among them, most were shot dead by Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows. With over one hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows at work, no matter how many swordfishes rushed over, they were just courting death. In the cabin, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and warriors of Sea Demon Clan showed their power. Old Demon of Mount Yin who had just eaten a big loss was even more ferocious, he killed all around using his killing techniques. His dozens of vines would immediately bound the swordfishes immediately upon their arrival and piercing their body, he would absorb their essence blood dry while laughing. When everyone was killing without any restraint, Ye Chuan who was sitting cross-legged on the deck however looked solemn and his heart was sinking more and more. With the death of a large number of swordfishes, the number of swordfishes that were jumping out of the sea also became less, but the feeling of danger in the heart of Ye Chuan not only didn¡¯t disappear instead became stronger and stronger. The suicide attack of these swordfishes, the more he looked at it, the more it resembled a scheme to deliberately deplete their energy and arrows, true attack had yet to come, but thinking about it again, this thought was somewhat comical, it was just an electric eel that had yet to transform into a humanoid form, could it also scheme? Ye Chuan was puzzled in his heart, and at the same time, he became all the more nervous. If this truly was a scheme, then that super electric eel with peculiar innate skill was even more not simple and it might be even harder to deal with. Chapter 437: Perfect counter Feeling something was wrong, Ye Chuan quickly ordered, making the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect stop attacking and rest. He let warriors of Sea Demon Clan deal with those remaining swordfishes. The whistling sounds of the arrows of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows quickly stopped. The numbers of swordfishes jumping out of the sea rapidly decreased and the sea surface quickly became calm again, and as if this sea dragon boat was something terrifying, no fish swam around this boat. Now, only the sounds of sea waves and rain fell in the ears of everyone. Ye Chuan was calm and composed sitting on the deck. The super electric eel staged a comeback that was more powerful than he had expected. Not only its innate skill was peculiar, it actually schemed to use the swordfish school to deplete their energy and arrows, but it was also craftier than a great demon. But, this only made him more eager. When he tamed this electric eel, it would increase the power of his side without a doubt! Ye Chuan calmly observed the changes while quietly circulating nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, secretly preparing to make a fatal move. In this life, after making Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets his life technique, he had made up his mind to form a powerful yao beast legion to lord over the Wilderness World again. Low-leveled yao beasts could be seen everywhere in Cloud Mist Mountain Range and vast sea, but super yao beasts with distinctive innate skills that could contend against first-rate experts were very hard to come by. He needed not only many yao beasts, but also needed super yao beasts that could take charge of other yao beasts. This super electric eel that had staged a comeback was exactly what he was looking for! The repressive silence didn¡¯t last long, the super electric eel that was lurking under the sea was unable to endure first. The calm sea surface suddenly splashed and terrifying lightning bolts shot out. Shortly afterward, over a thousand electric eels jumped out of the sea surface and entered the cabin from the hole and cracks created by swordfishes. The super electric eel that had come prepared initiated the second wave of attacks. Sea demon warriors became busy dealing with the attack of these electric eels while trying to block those holes and cracks left behind by those swordfishes. Often, screaming voices would resound throughout the boat as someone would get electrocuted frequently. Fortunately, all of those electric eels were ordinary, far weaker than that terrifying super electric eel. They would only feel uncomfortable for a moment when they accidentally got electrocuted. As for the numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, they retreated to once corner under the command of Ye Chuan to conserve their strength, and no one shot an arrow. That super electric eel was trying to deplete their energy and arrows, so Ye Chuan directly met plot with the plot, causing the illusion that their arrows had been exhausted. Even more electric eels jumped out of the water, and slowly, some more than one meter long electric eels began to appear. Although they were still far weaker than that super electric eel, they were ferocious and the lightning they discharged could make sea demon warriors collapse for a while, and even suffer some injuries. But, Ye Chuan still sat cross-legged on the deck. He looked calm on the surface, but he had begun to get a little nervous in his heart, knowing that super electric eel was coming. The robe he was wearing fluttered and those electric eels that rushed towards him were sent flying by invisible energy before they reached him. Sure enough, after these fierce attacks, along with a crash, the super electric eel jumped out of the water and its huge body ferociously slammed towards Ye Chuan on the deck. At this moment, its body was glimmering with blue light and lightning was crackling around its body. But, at the moment, Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows roared and whistling sounds resounded. Zhu Sijia attacked first. Half kneeling at the entrance of a cabin that was near the deck, she aimed at the head of this super electric eel and sharp arrows whistled out. Immediately after that, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect reacted, over one hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows roared simultaneously as sharp arrows flew towards this super electric eel. This super electric eel was very cunning, unfortunately, Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows were different from what it had imagined, they shot arrows made up of energy. As long as the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were not completely exhausted, they could continue to attack! This ferocious super electric eel suddenly paused and its huge body rapidly swayed, shooting out lightning bolts, forcibly knocking down the arrows. In an instant, the sky above sea dragon boat became a lightning domain. But, there were too many arrows, even if this super electric eel was more ferocious, it was also unable to endure the suppression of over hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows and bloody holes began to appear all over its body. This super electric eel that had staged a comeback was caught unprepared and ate a big loss. It wailed mournfully and had no choice but to retreat into the water. And in the next moment, swimming to the other side of the sea dragon boat, it suddenly burst out of the sea surface and pounced on towards Ye Chuan with its mouth wide open, wanting to swallow Ye Chuan whole. But, Ye Chuan continued to sit still coldly watching this super electric eel as if he had no intention to personally make a move. Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows roared again and a large number of arrows rained down again, forcing this super electric eel retreat into the sea again. Such circumstances repeated many times, no matter from which direction this super electric eel sprang out, it would be welcomed by the rain of arrows. Soon, its entire body was dripping with blood, lightning around its body also decreased and the power of its lightning also was not as good as before. So, after swimming a few laps around the sea dragon boat, it had no choice but to leave in a huff. At that time, a long tentacle suddenly appeared behind Ye Chuan and shot towards that super electric eel like a ferocious snake. And just before that super electric eel disappeared, this tentacle suddenly plunged into the water and bound the tail of that super electric eel. Crackle, the terrifying lightning spread along this tentacle and shocked Ye Chuan, but at the same time, this super electric eel was also flung high in the air outside of the sea by this tentacle. ¡°Attack!¡± Zhu Sijia loudly commanded and over a hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows roared again. As for the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect without Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows and sea demon warriors, they simultaneously used their flying swords to attack in succession. Enduring the lightning attack, Ye Chuan circulated Tentacle Talisman within his body to prevent this super electric eel from escaping. The latter clearly was caught unprepared and again suffered heavy injuries and after falling into the water again, it didn¡¯t dare to continue fighting, it hastily fled, but that wicked tentacle appeared again. And at the same time, a demonic dragon rushed over and blocked its path along with that tentacle, then was forced out of the water once again. Little Long¡¯er also made a move, he attacked this greatly injured super electric eel. And when the latter discharged lightning as the result, he would immediately fly high up in the sky and after the lightning disappears, he would dive into the sea again and intercept it. And inspired by Little Long¡¯er, Old Demon of Mount Yin also used a technique and joined the pursuit. Now, he didn¡¯t use his vine to tie up this lightning covered super electric eel, he freely manipulated it to force the latter to dodge here and there, and often seizing the chance, he would attack ferociously. Lightning around its body was the powerful aspect of this super electric eel, its body in itself was not doughty enough. It couldn¡¯t even stop the attack of Dragon headed Flying Crossbows let alone the sharp claws of Little Long¡¯er and the sneak attack of Old Demon of Mount Yin. Encountering the suppression of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, it couldn¡¯t approach the sea dragon boat, but now, it couldn¡¯t even run away. Slowly, its injuries became worse and worse, and after an hour, it was finally on the verge of death and was caught. Sea demon warriors used a net to catch it and brought it in front of Ye Chuan. Chapter 438: Cyan lotus Refining Yao ¡°Little fellow, I finally caught you!¡± Ye Chuan carefully sized up this super electric eel brought in front of him and secretly sighed out in relief. From the start to the end, he had stayed cross-legged on the deck without any movement. It appeared as if he was completely relaxed, but he was in a dangerous situation and was also injured. Every time he used the tentacle to fling this super electric eel to the air, he would suffer the lightning attack of this super electric eel. Sometimes, lightning would spread throughout his body and made his entire body numb. There was a most dangerous moment when his heart had stopped beating and he suffocated, but after a short while, his heartbeat slowly returned to normal. The super electric eel was still swaying continuously. Now, its head was placed in front of Ye Chuan, but more than half of its body still under the sea. Its huge body was full of wounds as it had become the target everyone¡¯s attacks. Still, lightning crackle around its body from time to time. It appeared scary, merely its injuries were worse than Ye Chuan¡¯s and its vitality was greatly damaged. Now, the current lightning around his body was not sufficient to even defend itself let alone struggle free from the binding of this net and flee. ¡°Now your body is too huge and too bloated, let me help you refine and transform into a true expert!¡¯ After carefully sizing up this super electric eel, Ye Chuan silently activated Cyan Lotus Lamp, then circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he dripped a drop of essence blood on the forehead of this super electric eel while using a mysterious technique. A cyan light flashed illuminating this ferocious super electric eel. Immediately after that, eyes of this powerful overlord of the sea suddenly became blurred and slowly, under the illumination of Cyan Lotus Lamp, its body began to shrink and gradually floated in the air. In the beginning, this super electric eel was more than 100 meters long, but after a few breaths of time, it shrunk and became less than ten meters long. Cyan Lotus Refining Yao! Ye Chuan circulated nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and went all out to help this super electric eel refine its body and open its intelligence. This was another mystery of Cyan Lotus Lamp he comprehended after condensing Tentacle Talisman. This super electric eel trembled and its body issued crackling sounds as its body shrunk and became smaller. And upon careful observation, one could notice a layer of thin cyan light around its body, vaguely showing the sign of transforming into a Cyan Demon from Blue Demon. This super electric eel had lived for a long time and had separated itself from other ordinary electric eels, becoming a powerful yao beast with distinctive innate skill. It had already reached the level where it might take the final step at any time and transform into a super yao beast with a humanoid form. But, under normal circumstances, no one knew when this day would come, it might be tomorrow, or might be 10,000 years later or even 100,000 years later. In that course of time, no one knows what kind of tribulations it would encounter. Now, Ye Chuan was helping it using his Cyan Lotus Lamp. If this succeeded, then this super electric eel would become a Half Sage yao beast that was a rank higher than Plague Archfiend Abasi; but upon failure, perhaps, both its soul and body would be annihilated, and even Ye Chuan would suffer a backlash! The super electric eel trembled more and more violently and chaotic lightning appeared around its body as if it was about to explode, frightening people to retreat to one side. Meanwhile, the forehead of Ye Chuan was dripping with sweat and the light of Cyan Lotus Lamp was also dim and was flickering as if it was about to extinguish. In order to capture this super electric eel, Ye Chuan was already injured, now, forcibly using Cyan Lotus Lamp to help this super electric eel transform worsened his injuries as the energy consumption was far more than he had expected. At that time, a steady and powerful big hand was pressed on the back of Ye Chuan and majestic and pure energy was injected into his body. Plague Archfiend Abasi had quickly taken a step forward and injected his vitality into Ye Chuan. Even Old Demon of Mount Yin who had yet to recover from his injuries walked forward and provide a helping hand to Ye Chuan along with Abasi by injecting his vitality into Ye Chuan. With the help of these two, the spirit of Ye Chuan soared, then biting the tip of his tongue, he spat a mouthful of blood on the Cyan Lotus Lamp. Instantly, the cyan light of this Cyan Lotus Lamp became brighter. Now, this super electric eel shrunk even faster and after becoming the size of a chopstick, it slowly stabilized. Although its current size was not even one percent of its original size, its aura was far more powerful and lightning that occasionally flickered around its body made people feel several times more dangerous. Observing carefully, this lightning was unexpectedly cyan color and they swayed like an alive lightning snake, making the scalp of people tingle. ¡°Final moment, transform!¡± Ye Chuan roared and spat another mouthful of blood on the Cyan Lotus Lamp. This time, the cyan light was even more flourishing, but that super electric eel was no longer shrinking, it appeared as if it had already shrunk to its limit. And after a burst of sudden violent trembling, it flashed and changing into a hint of cyan light, it disappeared. Immediately after this, Ye Chuan trembled and became pale. ¡°Eh, did I fail?¡± ¡°Your Excellency, are you alright?¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi and Old Demon of Mount Yin exclaimed at the same time. Zhu Sijia and also rushed over and worriedly looked at Ye Chuan. ¡°I am fine.¡± After a while, Ye Chuan sighed and secretly felt this was pitiful. After leaving God Burial Valley, this was the first time he had used Cyan Lotus Lamp to forcibly help a yao beast refine its body and raise its cultivation realm. And with the help of Plague Archfiend Abasi and Old Demon of Mount Yin, the body of that super electric eel was strengthened substantially, unfortunately, in the end, it was unable to break through to Half-Sage realm and completely transform into a super yao beast. It¡¯s a pity, his cultivation was too low. If he had broken through to Sage realm or even Half-Sage realm, then would he have failed? Ye Chuan shook his head and took a deep breath, then standing up, he prepared to return to his cabin and enter seclusion to heal his injuries. Although he had failed at the last moment, in summary, the result of this time was still very good. Now, he had another powerful yao beast around him. After recuperating in Cyan Lotus Lamp for a period of time, the fighting power of that super electric eel would certainly take another step further! The rain was still falling and it was getting even colder. Zhu Sijia walked over and helped Ye Chuan walk to his cabin without any hesitation. Usually, she was too shy and didn¡¯t dare to display her relationship with Ye Chuan in public, but now, she couldn¡¯t afford to think about it. ¡°Junior apprentice sister, how about we cultivate in a pair?¡± Taking advantage of this chance, Ye Chuan leaned over and whispered in the ear of Zhu Sijia. ¡°Big senior Asp prentice brother, you rogue!¡± Zhu Sijia stamped her feet and her beautiful face became red to her ears. Even though her nature was bold and vigorous, she was somewhat unable to withstand this. Before a big crowd, Ye Chuan actually dared to ask her to cultivate in a pair! ¡°Eh, what I mean is, this Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I am inviting you to cultivate a technique called Demonic Dragon Sutra. It can cure injuries and also accelerate the cultivating speed, Little Long¡¯er also knows it.¡± Ye Chuan spoke honestly, just a moment ago, he was truly was not flirting with Zhu Sijia. In the midst of capturing that super electric eel, he was injured, and later, his injuries worsened and he expended a lot of vitality, so to recover quickly, cultivating Demonic Dragon Sutra was the best choice, so he had suggested without thinking much. ¡°Humph, do you think I will believe you? I am going!¡± Zhu Sijia said with the expression of not believing the words of Ye Chuan, but her hands were still carefully supporting Ye Chuan fearing Ye Chuan might accidentally fall down into the sea. ¡°There are many women in this word, still, junior apprentice sister, you are the best for me, if we can be together¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan smiled, and just when he was thinking of flirting with Zhu Sijia, his footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked towards the distant place with a solemn complexion. Chapter 439: Meeting Rain Demon again ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhu Sijia asked and looked around but she didn¡¯t see anything peculiar. In the latter half of the night, the rain gradually grew bigger, drenching their clothing as well as making them feel even colder. But, the sea surface was calm without any waves and there was also no aura of yao beasts. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and the warriors of Sea Demon Clan were walking around. Some had just walked out of their cabin and were stretching their body while inhaling fresh air. And some were washing the bloodstain from the deck taking advantage of this rain. Nothing appeared peculiar. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak. He even closed his eyes. He just used his divine sense to sense around. After capturing and taming super electric eel, the feeling of danger in his heart had finally disappeared, but just a moment ago, that feeling of danger had appeared again for an instant in his heart. Moreover, it was even stronger than before. Although it was only an instant, it shook the heart of Ye Chuan. The danger hadn¡¯t passed yet, furthermore, even more dangerous demon was lurking around the sea dragon boat! Ye Chuan became solemn as he spread out his divine sense. As for Zhu Sijia, watching the change in the expression of Ye Chuan, she didn¡¯t disturb Ye Chuan, she just pulled out her sword and guarded Ye Chuan. The people were still walking about the deck. They didn¡¯t notice the change of Ye Chuan and Zhu SIjia and also didn¡¯t sense any danger. The rain got bigger and bigger and made pitter-patter sounds. But, the huge sea dragon boat continued to streak across deserted islands. Zhu Sijia nervously looked around, but even after a good while, she gained nothing, still, looking at the complexion of Ye Chuan, she had misgivings. Just at that time, a drop of rain that was falling down from the sky suddenly changed. When it was just three meters away from the head of Zhu Sijia, this raindrop suddenly elongated and changed into a sharp blade that glimmered with pallid light. Then, it suddenly accelerated towards the head of Zhu Sijia. In a split second, the distance between Zhu Sijia¡¯s head and this blade shortened from three meters to three inches, its speed was so astonishing that it created an ear-piercing whistling sound. With how ferocious it was, it would certainly penetrate the head of Zhu Sijia, then even elixir of life might not be able to save her. ¡°What¡¯s that sound?¡± Everyone stopped and looked around. Zhu Sijia was also stunned. The speed of that sharp blade was too fast, she didn¡¯t even have a chance to know where the danger was coming from. ¡°Watch out!¡± Ye Chuan who was standing still suddenly opened his eyes and pushed Zhu Sijia into the cabin. Immediately after that, a thumb-sized hole appeared on the place where Zhu Sijia was standing just a moment ago. The solid deck was penetrated. Although this deck was not created using the sea dragon bone, it was made using a hard millennium Cedar Willow Tree, moreover, was very thick. But, that sharp blade made up of water drop was able to penetrate it, one could well imagine its sharpness. ¡°Everyone, return to the cabin, quickly!¡± Ye Chuan shouted an order and everyone immediately returned to their cabin. As for himself, he stood still. It was not that he didn¡¯t want to, rather he was already locked onto by powerful spirit energy and he felt heavy pressure. That feeling was just like a giant holding thousands of huge mountains was glaring at him, and if he moved even a bit, then those thousands of huge mountains would crush him! The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and warriors of Sea Demon Clan standing on the deck hastily rushed into their cabins. Just after that, along with void breaking sounds, over a hundred raindrops simultaneously changed into sharp blades and rained down rapidly. Then, among those who fell behind on the deck, some had their throat severed and some had their stomach cut open. The deck which was just washed clean was again dyed red with blood. This sudden attack was strange, swift and ferocious. People were caught unprepared! The nerves of Ye Chuan were stretched taut and his back was drenched with cold sweat. To help super electric eel refine and strengthen its body, he had expended a large amount of vitality, as a result, under the sudden attack of these strange sharp blades, even he didn¡¯t have 100% confidence of dodging. Not to mention these sharp blades were very fast, what was even more frightening was, no one could predict from where it will pop out suddenly. In addition, it was raining now, perhaps, every raindrop might suddenly change into sharp blades, at that time, how could he defend? Old Demon of Mount Yin and Little Long¡¯er also retreated to the side of Ye Chuan. The stood left and right of Ye Chuan to guard him who had expended a large amount of his vitality. Little Long¡¯er immediately transformed into a demonic dragon. As for Old Demon of Mount Yin, he became solemn and a tough vine sprang out from his palm. Both of them were very alert. In the cabin, Plague Archfiend Abasi also stood up. His complexion was cold and he circulated the energy within his body. Not far away, Sea Demon Patriarch took out his weapon and was similarly tense as if they encountered a formidable enemy. The void breaking sounds resounded again as more than ten raindrops suddenly accelerated towards Ye Chuan, Little Long¡¯er and Old Demon of Mount Yin. In the beginning, they were ordinary raindrops, but when the distance between them was only three meters, each one of those raindrops suddenly changed into a sharp blade glimmering with a pallid light. Ye Chuan stood still watching those sharp blades and his pupils suddenly shrunk. Suddenly a figure appeared in his mind, assassin Rain Demon. In his previous life when he concealed the heaven, he could also change raindrops into sharp blades to kill people. But, in this life, he had only seen one man that was capable of doing so. He was none other than top-notch assassin Rain Demon who was invited by Third Elder Bai Yanhu in that year. ¡°Be careful, it¡¯s assassin Rain Demon!¡± Ye Chuan shouted loudly and using Cyan Feather Technique, he swayed left and right, dodging those sharp blades, but three sharp blades brush past his throat. If he was a bit slower, then his head would have been cut off. And at the same time, Little Long¡¯er and Old Demon of Mount Yin were also in danger. They used their own method to dodge or block. Little Long¡¯er was comparatively better as his body was especially doughty. As for Old Demon of Mount Yin, dozens of vines sprang out from his palm and blocked those dangerous blades. ¡°Boy, you have good judgment, you actually still remember this lordship!¡± A cold voice came from far away, and on the dark sea surface, a very thin black robed old man appeared. He didn¡¯t have earlobe of his right ear and his complexion looked sinister and ruthless. In addition, with wrinkles all over his face, he appeared to have one foot in the grave, but his speed was very fast and made people feel danger. He was empty-handed and he flew over the sea surface like a roc. While flying, he grabbed the void with his right hand, then raindrops began to gather together and transformed into a long and sharp sword in his hand. And when he was ten meters away, he suddenly jumped onto the sea dragon boat with dense killing intent. What kind of sword was that! In the cabin, regardless of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and warriors of Sea Demon Clan, all were shocked and had their eyes wide open. The sword in the hand of assassin Rain Demon was formed via the collection of many raindrops, moreover, each raindrop was a sharp blade, and those sharp blades were vibrating in a high speed, making a humming sound. Even later stage Daoist Master realm cultivators were unable to see how many sharp blades had come together to form this sword. The rebellion of Third Elder Bai Yanyu had already passed long ago. The current cultivation realm of Ye Chuan was far higher than before. But, the cultivation of this assassin Rain Demon who had appeared suddenly on the sea had similarly advanced. His cultivation base was no longer original Rank 6 Daoist Master realm. Sensing the energy fluctuation within his body, he was somewhat more powerful than Old Demon of Mount Yin, indistinctly breaking through to Half-Sage realm! After leaving at that time, what kind of opportunity and fortune did he encounter? Looking at this assassin Rain Demon who was getting closer and closer, Ye Chuan became tenser and holding Iron Blooded Banner, he circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. Chapter 440: Qing Tainhou This Iron Blooded Banner left behind by State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng rapidly expanded in the hand of Ye Chuan and along with the fluttering sound, its momentum rose. Old Demon of Mount Yin and Little Long¡¯er lean onto Ye Chuan and stood together with him. With them three cooperating, even a Half-Sage realm expert should think over again. Rain Demon however rushed forward without any hesitation and his speed was getting faster and faster. He didn¡¯t even look at Old Demon of Mount Yin and Little Long¡¯er, he just thrust his sword straight towards the glabella of Ye Chuan. In the cabin, everyone became all the more nervous. Plague Archfiend Abasi walked over to the door of his cabin and prepared to make a move at any time. When the distance between them was less than five meters, Red Demon accelerated again. The sword in his hand buzzed and suddenly exploded into countless small sharp blades of water. And in an instant, a wall appeared in front of the trio of Ye Chuan. This tall wall made up of sharp blades shot towards the trio of Ye Chuan, giving them nowhere to hide. ¡°Be careful!¡¯ Ye Chuan waved the Iron Blooded Banner in his hand putting forth his strength and ding, ding, ding, ding¡­¡­ sounds continuously rang out along with the whistling sounds of sharp blades. Little Long¡¯er and Old Demon of Mount Yin simultaneously roared and prepared their respective strongest move. But, looking over, they couldn¡¯t see even a shadow of Rain Demon. Behind, from cabins, suddenly screaming, fighting and shrieking sounds resounded. Assassin Rain Demon had rushed into the cabin and started killing. That tall wall of sharp blades was actually just a distraction. Ye Chuan immediately turned around and rushed into the cabin. He saw several sea demon warriors were already lying on their pool of blood. And now, assassin Rain Demon was rushing straight towards Sea Demon Patriarch, and he took out a long tube made up of light green jade from who knows where. Then, pressing the mechanism of this tube, over a hundred small needles whistled towards Sea Demon Patriarch. Even though they were similarly peak Daoist Master realm experts, assassin Rain Demon was clearly a bit stronger than Sea Demon Patriarch, moreover, that tube in his hand was a sinister, ruthless and poisonous killing weapon. ¡°Grandfather¡­¡­¡± Hai Lili screamed and pulling out her duel sword, she rushed over regardless of her safety. The needles shot out from that tube was pitch-black, clearly were smeared with poison, and Sea Demon Patriarch didn¡¯t have much space to move. But, assassin Rain Demon continued to make a move, he pulled the void and a raindrop flew inside from the window and transforming into a sharp blade flew towards Sea Demon Patriarch. This attack was swift and ferocious. It appeared as if he wouldn¡¯t stop until he killed Sea Demon Patriarch. ¡°Bold!¡± Ye Chuan was angry. He rushed over holding Iron Blooded Banner and circulating nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, the strength of 162,000 jin suddenly erupted along with dense killing intent. Little Long¡¯er and Old Demon of Mount Yin also rushed in and attacked without any hesitation. But, assassin Rain Demon unexpectedly ignored the attacks behind him, he ferociously rushed towards Sea Demon Patriarch who was paralyzed by the poison. Seeing this, the complexion of Hai Lili became pale, and for a moment, she thought to use her innate skill to freeze the time, but it was already too late. This Rain Demon specialized in assassination and he was very skilled in killing stronger opponents and had killed many. Originally, when he was just Rank 6 Daoist Master realm, he had already terrified people, but now, reaching peak Daoist Master realm, he who was already a top-notch assassin had become a super assassin. In addition, he was faster than Ye Chuan. ¡°Who¡­¡­, who sent you?¡± Looking at this ferocious Rain Demon, Sea Demon Patriarch became pale and his eyes were filled with shock and unwillingness along with a trace of despair. Caught unguarded, now, he was unable to move himself, and even though he had a high cultivation base, he was unable to show his strength. He could only look at assassin Rain Demon rushing over. In addition, the poison had already spread to his internal organs and he found it hard to breathe. Moreover, his heartbeat was chaotic and he felt exhausted. Rain Demon didn¡¯t speak, he didn¡¯t answer the question of Sea Demon Patriarch, he just accelerated again and the raindrop sharp blade in his hand whistled towards the glabella of Sea Demon Patriarch. Two fingers suddenly appeared from one side and caught that sharp blade. ¡°What a good super assassin! But, want to assassin in front of this lordship, trifling peak Daoist Master realm is still not enough!¡¯ Plague Archfiend Abasi flew in front of Sea Demon Patriarch and blocked the attack of Rain Demon. The sharp blade even Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to block was firmly caught with his fingers. Immediately after that, he palmed the chest of Rain Demon breaking his ribs. Moreover, he was sent flying and heavily landed on the solid deck. At that critical moment, Ye Chuan, Little Long¡¯er, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were too late to save Sea Demon Patriarch, only one person was an exception. As the only Half-Sage realm expert beside Ye Chuan, Plague Archfiend Abasi was undoubtedly outstanding. The technique of Rain Demon was strange and his speed was very fast, but he had never thought that there was a Half-Sage realm expert hidden within the cabin. As a result, he ate a big loss! Plague Archfiend Abasi feared water, so he didn¡¯t dare to stay on the deck, but in the cabin without water, he naturally wasn¡¯t afraid and he could easily use 70-80% of his strength and this 70-80% was something Rain Demon couldn¡¯t endure. ¡°Chase, capture him, capture him alive!¡± Ye Chuan turned around and rush towards the deck wanting to capture Rain Demon alive. This attack of Rain Demon was truly confusing, they must capture him alive and interrogate him! Everyone else also trued around and rushed towards the deck. Little Long¡¯er was the fastest, he directly smashed the cabin wall and rushed towards the deck. Old Demon of Mount Yin closely followed behind. Unfortunately, they were still a step late. Rain Demon who was heavily injured by Plague Archfiend Abasi stood up with great difficulty and sealing his wounds, he jumped into the sea and disappeared instantly in the dim light of night. Only his hoarse voice came from far away, ¡°Consider yourself lucky tonight, but Lord Qing Tianhou will not let you all off. Old foggy, although I, Rain Demon, was unable to kill you, if you continue to go forward, then you are doomed to die, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± The voice of Rain Demon reverberated through the sky above sea dragon boat. Little Long¡¯er prepared to pursue but was stopped by Ye Chuan. And behind them, the weeping voice of Hai Lili came, ¡°Grandfather, grandfather, you cannot die, grandfather¡­¡­¡± In the cabin, Sea Demon Patriarch fell to the ground. Although he was still awake, he still couldn¡¯t move, the poison had already spread throughout his internal organs. And seeing the figure of Ye Chuan, Hai Lili felt as if a sinking man seeing a life-saving straw and begged him to save her grandfather kneeling in front of him. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, needles!¡± Ye Chuan squatted down and carefully examined Sea Demon Patriarch, then poking his acupoints, Ye Chuan used silver needles to let out his blood, moreover, used an ancient technique to cure Sea Demon Patriarch. For Hai Lili and also for the sake of learning everything, Ye Chuan went all out. The assassin Rain Demon had fled, but the feeling of danger in the heart of Ye Chuan had yet to dissipate. In addition, he had many doubts in his heart. He wanted to save Sea Demon Patriarch and ask him to clarify those doubts. He vaguely felt that this trip to Lost City was not as simple as what Sea Demon Patriarch had said before. Chapter 441: History of Lost City After an hour, the condition of Sea Demon Patriarch finally stabilized and no longer deteriorated. Ye Chuan took out that poisonous needle from the body of Sea Demon Patriarch and those pitch black shiny needle made the scalp of people tingle. Now, although his body was still very weak, the old man finally regained his consciousness. ¡°Patriarch, what exactly is going on here?¡± Ye Chuan asked coming straight to the point. The journey from East Sea¡¯s Dragon King Island to this place was quite smooth, but arriving near Lost City, the holy land of Sea Demon Clan, the disturbances suddenly began. First came the attack of super electric eel, followed by the sudden attack of assassin Rain Demon. This made everyone know that something was wrong here. That assassin Rain Demon had not come for Ye Chuan, rather he was clearly aiming for Sea Demon Patriarch. This confused everyone even more. Thinking about the actions and continuous urging of Sea Demon Patriarch all along the way, now Ye Chuan was sure that Sea Demon Patriarch was definitely hiding something. Regardless of super electric eel or assassin Rain Demon, their combat power was outstanding and they had the means to annihilate the entire army. Next, what kind of expert or evil spirit would they encounter? Ye Chuan was solemn and he ordered to stop sea dragon boat. Without clearly understanding the ins and outs of this matter, he would absolutely not let Zhu Sijia and other disciples of Cloud Mist Sect continue this journey. ¡°I also don¡¯t know, that whatever called Rain Demon assassin, wasn¡¯t¡­¡­, wasn¡¯t he mistaken?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch said and his expression fluctuated a little. Ye Chuan nodded his head and said: ¡°Well, it is also possible, assassins are also human, they might foolishly mistake their target. Perhaps, that assassin was also suffering from seasickness or fears water like Abasi, therefore, being confused and disoriented in the sea, he thought to casually cut off the head of anyone he met and return to report his task. It¡¯s just that, very unfortunately, by coincidence, he ran into Your Excellency Patriarch, that assassin was truly stupid.¡± The face of Sea Demon Patriarch became somewhat red. Who didn¡¯t understand the sarcastic retort of Ye Chuan? ¡°Grandfather, what is going on here? Who sent that assassin?¡± Hai Lili lost temper and asked, seemingly, it was not Sea Demon Patriarch who was lying rather her and she didn¡¯t have face to face Ye Chuan. Long before Cloud Mist Sect had gone out to the sea, she had vaguely felt that something was wrong. She had always felt that her grandfather was hiding something. The old man didn¡¯t speak, just remained silent. Ye Chuan sat down cross-legged. He didn¡¯t force an answer and also didn¡¯t urge, just said indifferently, ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, considering the one help of your Sea Demon Clan, I can take a risk without getting to the bottom of this. But, it is impossible for me to let the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect risk their life without knowing what this is about. If you don¡¯t make it clear, then either sea demon boat will stop here or you can lead your clansmen to continue on your journey and we will think of a way to return to the mainland.¡± Ye Chuan gave Sea Demon Patriarch some face. He was very polite but his tone was very firm. Since it had already reached this point, even if Sea Demon Patriarch wanted to hide things, he couldn¡¯t find the way out, so he sighed and said, ¡°Who sent that assassin, I truly don¡¯t know that. This time we are returning to Lost City is also to really bring back our sacred item, Neptune Horn. A very long time ago, Lost City was greatly weakened because of the internal strife, then its position was exposed, attracting the attacks of external forces. Our clansmen fought desperately to protect the Lost City and Lost City was saved. But, although Lost City was saved, among the ten defense restrictions, nine defense restrictions were destroyed and the final one defense restriction also suffered heavy damage, as a result, it would weaken every two hundred years and needs maintenance of future generations.¡± ¡°A few days later, it just so happened to be the day when that defense restriction of Lost City is weakened, isn¡¯t that so?¡± Ye Chuan asked, grasping the key point of Sea Demon Patriarch. ¡°Yes.¡± The old man didn¡¯t deny. This time, coming from afar, taking away sacred item Neptune Horn was the main objective, but the maintenance of weakened defense restriction was also another big reason. Every two hundred years, even if they were at the ends of the earth, they would have to return here to maintain the defense restriction. This was the task for every patriarch to maintain the inheritance of Sea Demon Clan. With the current strength of Sea Demon Clan, it was impossible to reoccupy and rule the Lost City, but they also couldn¡¯t let this holy land be occupied by other people. ¡°It seems there are quite a few people that are eyeing your holy land, and they seemed to have arrived early.¡± Ye Chuan finally understood what was going on. Clearly, someone had been eyeing Lost City, and he was attempting to seal off this sea area to forcibly seize the treasures inside Lost City for himself. In order to achieve this goal, naturally, he couldn¡¯t let other forces get a share of the action and even couldn¡¯t let Sea Demon Clan smoothly enter Lost City¡¯s defense restriction. Therefore, assassin Rain Demon was obviously ordered to assassinate Sea Demon Patriarch. After thinking for a bit, Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t understand something and asked, ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, since this is the case, then why didn¡¯t you return early to take precautions against all contingencies? Could it be that inside Lost City¡­¡­¡± ¡°Now Lost City only has one final defense restriction. It is called Ten Sided All Direction Heavenly Sea Restriction. It completely cut off Lost City from the outside world, preventing any outsider from entering and also preventing any insider from leaving.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch paused and added, ¡°That internal strife of very long ago caused fatal damage to Sea Demon Clan. Moreover, there is no end of trouble for the future. Many of those revolting clansmen had become specters who kills any living beings they see. Later, each time the restriction weakened, that attracted many evil spirits. Over time, the dangers inside Lost City increased. Even if we want to enter Lost City in advance to take precautions against all contingencies, we don¡¯t have that ability.¡± The old man looked bitter and astringent as he sighed again and again. Every racial holy land was sanctuary and sour of strength for all races. Lost City however was an exception. It was also because they lost this racial holy land, Sea Demon Clan deteriorated steadily and become weaker and weaker, and the weaker they became, they more incapable they became to return to their racial holy land to obtain their source of strength. As a result, the cultivation of clansmen got worse with each generation. Like that, a vicious circle was formed. This was the pain of Sea Demon Clan and also the misfortune of racial holy land as without the painstaking care of clansmen, Lost City became more and more chaotic and the power of restriction got worse year after year. If this goes on, there will come a day when Lost City would thoroughly collapse and destroyed becoming a part of the long river of history. ¡°So it is like that, no wonder¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, finally understanding the true aim of Sea Demon Patriarch¡¯s request to go to the sea. Escorting sacred item was only a pretext, the key point was he wanted their help to invade Lost City and take out the sacred item. With the current strength of Sea Demon Clan, they couldn¡¯t even enter Lost City, perhaps, even if they could enter, they wouldn¡¯t be able to endure, how could they take out the sacred item? ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, what about that something Qing Tainhou? What is going on?¡± Ye Chuan asked, recalling what assassin Rain Demon had said when fleeing. ¡°I also don¡¯t know, perhaps, he is a certain big shot or a certain super expert.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch shook his head. He truly didn¡¯t know this. But, every time the defense restriction was weakened, a number of heaven-defying evil spirits and experts would come. Now, the closer they got to Lost City, the more dangerous it would be. This point was already within the expectation of Sea Demon Patriarch but he didn¡¯t say anything before, because, on one hand, he feared that Ye Chuan would have cold feet and on the other hand, he feared that his clansmen would worry too much. Sea Demon Clan was steadily deteriorating, there were only a very few clansmen who had followed him to Lost City 100 years ago. The younger generation clansmen like Hai Lili only knew that Lost City was their racial holy land, they didn¡¯t know anything else. ¡°If my guess isn¡¯t wrong, then it should be Qing Tainhou of Da Qin Dynasty.¡± Zhu Sijia suddenly chipped in. Ye Chuan had let many matters to her, she had dealt with many matters inside and outside of sect. At that time, she just happened to hear a few reports from spies about the affairs of Qing Tianhou. She paused for a moment and looking at Ye Chuan, she continued, ¡°There is a Duke who had suddenly appeared in Da Qin Dynasty in recent years. Allegedly, that fellow is not the person of Wilderness World, rather is an expert that came from the world beyond the highest heaven, and he called himself Qing Tainhou. He somehow subjugated the barbarian clans in the western border of Da Qin Dynasty. According to rumor, this fellow looks young in age and handsome, but his cultivation is unfathomable. Even State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was helpless and couldn¡¯t kill him, so he could only offer amnesty.¡± Even State Teacher Jian Tunsheng couldn¡¯t kill him? The complexion of Ye Chuan suddenly changed, he perfectly knew how powerful State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was. At that time, if it wasn¡¯t for the sudden appearance of White Haired Heavenly Empress of Heaven Yao Sect, he might have died there under the hands of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. Looking at that way, it seemed this Qing Tianhou truly was extraordinary. He should be at least a Half-Sage realm super expert! ¡°It is said that Qing Tianhou often says something people are unable to make sense and do things people are unable to understand. Furthermore, there are several words he keep on saying over and over daily, for instance, something ¡®unless a man looks out for himself, Heaven and Earth will destroy him¡¯, ¡®I¡¯m the only one who can decide my destiny¡¯, ¡®now that I have come, I will control this world¡¯. Moreover, his behavior is extremely flippant and impudent.¡± Zhu Sijia said with a solemn expression. Without a doubt, this person was extremely unreasonable and hard to deal with. Originally, Zhu Sijia had thought that they would no cross path with this fellow as he was in the western border of Da Qin Dynasty, but beyond her expectation, they crossed path so quickly. Chapter 442: Qing Tian Warship Within the cabin, suddenly silence reined, no one spoke. After knowing the background of this Qing Tianhou, the heart of everyone shank. Assassin Rain Demon was powerful, everyone had already experienced that. Qing Tainhou who could move this great devil was definitely more powerful and difficult to deal with! After hurrying on with their journey for days and night, they had arrived here which was only two or three days away from Lost City. No one was willing to turn back in just this fashion. But continuing on with the journey, they had to face a big storm, a life-threatening disaster, who would dare to continue press forward knowing this? ¡°At the lowest floor of the ship, a fast boat is concealed there. There is not much space for food, fresh water and other essential things and also not enough space to carry many people, but it has enough space for your Cloud Mist Sect.¡± After a long silence, Sea Demon Patriarch finally broke the silence and slowly said, ¡°Nobleson Ye, the operation this time is very dangerous, more dangerous than I had originally expected, I don¡¯t want to involve you all in this danger. If you can, then please take away Hai Lili and some children of our Sea Demon Clan. Like that, even if we die, we would still have our bloodline, our clan wouldn¡¯t be thoroughly extinct.¡± In the past, Sea Demon Patriarch was unwilling to speak openly in fear that Ye Chuan would get cold feet and retreat, but now, after explaining clearly and becoming clear of the matter, he was no longer reluctant. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak and remained silent. ¡°Grandfather, no, I will go together with you!¡± The eyes of Hai Lili were red and tears flowed down her cheeks. With regarding the stubborn nature of her grandfather, she knew the best. If it was not especially dangerous, he will not change his mind. Clearly, her grandfather had also realized that it was especially dangerous this time. If they went this time, then they might never return. ¡°Lili, be obedient, go away with noble son Ye, just take care of Heavenly Dragon Tree and also the children of the family. Hereafter, whether our Sea Demon Clan can prosper or not rest on you.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch consoled sad Hai Lili with a bright smile. Then, turning around, he instructed clansmen to take out the fast boat and gather together underaged clansmen. After that, he took out a jade green tablet from his bosom and gave it to Hai Lili and said, ¡°Lili, this tablet is yours now. After three months if this grandfather didn¡¯t return to Cloud Mist Mountain Range looking for you, then you will become the next Sea Demon Patriarch. In the future, no matter what you encounter, no matter if you are happy or no matter what kind of humiliation you suffer, remember, the most important thing is to pass on the inheritance and blood of our clan.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch said while giving a meaningful glance at Ye Chuan. There were some matters he had already arranged, unfortunately, it seemed that he couldn¡¯t wait for the chance. No matter how good a plan was, it couldn¡¯t keep up with the change in the situation. Who would have thought that this trip to Lost City would be so dangerous? The attack of assassin Rain Demon had sounded a bell of death. In front of them, perhaps, a large group of experts under Qing Tianhou was waiting for them arranging an inescapable net. Continuing forward was a dead end! Now, they couldn¡¯t even enter Lost City let alone take away their scared item Neptune Horn after dealing with this group of evil spirits. Sea Demon warriors were busy. They quickly took out the fast boat and gathered a dozen or so under aged children of the clan. On the deck, the sounds of people cursing, crying and weeping were resounding. Now, these fierce sea demon warriors wouldn¡¯t frown even if their arm were chopped off were dejected. Once every a hundred year, they had to come to Lost City and strengthen the weakened defense restriction. Every time, they risked their lives to do so because this was the fate of Sea Demon Clan and also a hope for the revival of their clan. Perhaps, this will be the last time for this. Although they had left behind about a dozen children to preserve the inheritance and bloodline of Sea Demon Clan, the hope of a revival was almost equivalent to zero. ¡°Patriarch, perhaps, we should first scout the situation in the front.¡± Ye Chuan finally expressed to not evacuate immediately, but he also didn¡¯t express to lead the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Sea Demon Clan forward. He paused for a moment and added, ¡°Qing Tainhou might indeed be very powerful and very hard to deal with, but, he is just a trifling Duke. Our Cloud Mist Sect doesn¡¯t even fear Da Qin King and we have withstood the attack of 200,000 soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty, why do we fear this trifling Duke?¡± After considering repeatedly, Ye Chuan finally made a decision. Returning back at this moment would naturally avoid the danger, but, when helping people, they had to help till the end. They had already arrived here, if he suddenly left along with the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, then it was not sincere. Therefore, he decided to station the large army and dispatch a small elite group to scout the situation in the front. It was not too late to make the final decision after clearly knowing the situation. In addition, after knowing the origin of Qing Tianhou, Ye Chuan was also rather curious about this Lord Hou who was said to have come from the world beyond the highest heaven. He wanted to personally see what kind of personage he was. In his previous life when he concealed the heaven, Ye Chuan had gone everywhere, walking through various ominous domains of Wilderness World and experienced unknown numbers of peerless techniques of Sage realm experts. At that time, Wilderness World was full of Sage realm experts. It was the time when all kinds of techniques shone, but there were only very few experts that came from the world beyond the highest heaven. They were basically the figure of legend. Like the mother of Little Long¡¯er Agusiteli, the master of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, even if he met them, it was not a face to face meeting. A layer of mysterious veil always separated them. But now, living Qing Tianhou just happened to give the chance to personally experience the expert of the world beyond the highest heaven. ¡°Fine, noble son Ye, we will do your way!¡± The eyes of Sea Demon Patriarch shone. It was naturally the best if Ye Chuan stayed. The two of them carefully planned and soon an elite squad was formed and they left the sea dragon boat stepping on the flying sword. As for the remaining army, they docked in the nearby nameless deserted island. Ye however was personally leading that elite squad of a dozen elites to scout the situation ahead. Among them, there were Little Long¡¯er, Old Demon of Mount Yin and other personal followers of Ye Chuan. There were also several elite and agile sea demon warriors. In terms of cultivation realm, these sea demon warriors couldn¡¯t be counted as outstanding. Let alone Old Demon of Mount Yin, even compared to some elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, their cultivation was lower. But, they had their distinctive aspects. Since they live in sea from their childhood, they could remain hidden under the sea for a long time. Thus, they were more suitable to scout in this vast sea than the elites of Cloud Mist Sect. Under the leadership of Ye Chuan, this elite squad flew forward very close to the sea surface and quickly disappeared into the night. And after rushing forward dozens li away, they began to take action separately and spread in different directions. Now, only Little Long¡¯er and one sea demon warrior was left beside Ye Chuan. This group of three advanced straight forward towards the location of Lost City according to the direction of Sea Demon Patriarch. At the horizon, the sky was covered with gloomy dark clouds and it seemed to be raining. There was still a period of time before the dawn. Only after flying for over an hour, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped and hid behind a reef with Little Long¡¯er and that sea demon warrior. Looking up, they could see a huge banner in front of them. Then, a huge mast appeared, followed by a dark hull. A huge armored warship appeared in front of them. Slicing through the waves, it was sailing rapidly, and as if the whereabouts of them three was already discovered, a dense killing intent spread throughout the sky. When the warship got closer, they could see two large words ¡®Qing Tian¡¯ written on the banner. Even these words made people feel dense killing intent. From afar, one could see several hundred soldiers with swords and spears wearing armors neatly arranged in rows on the deck. Each one of them was emitting dense killing intent. Chapter 443: Hiding The huge armored warship quickly approached nearer and nearer, sailing through the waves. Behind the reef, Ye Chuan kept calm and remained still, but Little Long¡¯er was already breathing rapidly and the sea demon warrior was even more nervous. His palm was already wet from his sweat and his heart was jumping rapidly. In addition, he pulled out a sharp dagger, preparing to fight. ¡°Don¡¯t move, without my instruction, no one is allowed to move.¡± Ye Chuan stretched his hand and stopped sea demon warrior from recklessly making a move. Crash, along with the sound of sea waves, the armored warship arrived within 100 meters from Ye Chuan¡¯s group. It was still emitting pressure as if it was overlord of the sea. Looking forward, now they could clearly see the soldiers standing on the deck. Even the sharp sword, the insignia on their armor and their dense eyebrows were clearly visible. Every one of them was coldly standing still like emotionless killing machines. Moreover, they were prepared to rush out immediately upon noticing any unusualness. ¡°One Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert!¡± ¡°Seven Rank 6 Daoist Master realm experts!¡± ¡°Twenty-one Rank 3 Daoist Master realm experts!¡± ¡­¡­ Ye Chuan coldly muttered. When the armored warship whistled past from 100 meters away, Little Long¡¯er and sea demon warrior had their heart in their mouth. Ye Chuan however was calmly using his divine sense to carefully scan the circumstance inside this armored warship and also was scouting how many experts were there in that warship. To deal with experts, experts were needed, it was useless to rely on numbers. Now, after reaching Rank 4 Daoist Master realm, cultivators of same cultivation realm no longer entered the eyes of Ye Chuan. He could kill them with one attack. What really made him have misgivings was those Rank 6 and Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts. And there was even Half-Sage realm super expert onboard. The armored warship rapidly sailed forward and disappeared into the night, but not long after, it circled around and came again from another direction, cruising in this vast sea. Clearly, this was not the ship of Qing Tianhou, and Ye Chuan also couldn¡¯t sense assassin Rain Demon in this ship. This was just an ordinary patrol vessel. But, what confused Ye Chuan was, he could vaguely sense familiar aura onboard, but this aura was different from the aura of Rain Demon, clearly was another person. How many such armored warships are there in the sea ahead? How many people did Qing Tianhou bring? That vaguely familiar aura, whose aura is that? Ye Chuan was confused in his heart. He slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at that cruising armored warship. Then, he patted the shoulder of the sea demon warrior and asked, ¡°Little brother, what is your name?¡± ¡°Hai Dashan, noble son Ye, hereafter, you can call me Dashan.¡± Sea Demon warrior felt extremely flattered. He had been reserved in front of Ye Chuan because even Sea Demon Patriarch was polite in front of Ye Chuan. Thus, ordinary sea demon warriors naturally didn¡¯t dare to be unbridled. ¡°Good, Dashan, this is a good name.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and said, ¡°Can you sneak into that armored warship and scout the circumstance? Just scout the specific circumstance aboard without alarming the troops onboard, can you do it?¡± There were several experts in that armored warship. Ye Chuan already knew this, but if he wanted to find a way to break through the blockade of armored warship, then this much information was still not enough. Even more information was needed. In the vast Overseas World, Ye Chuan had discovered that his Yao Beast Legion had one shortcoming, or to say a flaw. Among the yao beasts in his Cyan Lotus Space, regardless of Evil Eyed Cow Demons or Human Faced Snakes, basically, all could only act on the land. Their use was very limited in water. In other words, his Yao Beast Legion lacked yao beasts that could fight in water and even strong amphibian yao beasts. Usually, the effect of this flaw couldn¡¯t be seen, but at the critical moment, it nevertheless could be fatal. When fighting, people could fully utilize this flaw to deal with his Yao Beast Legion in own fellow swoop. For a small squad, being skilled in only certain aspect was fine, but for a legion, balance was needed. Only like that, they could cope with complex situations. Now, his Yao Beast Legion had just started to develop, and he also had yet to encounter a truly powerful tactic master, but this didn¡¯t mean he would never encounter such expert in the future. With the turmoil of Wilderness, he would undoubtedly meet more and more powerful opponents in the future. This armored warship under the leadership of Qing Tainhou was also undoubtedly an extremely difficult opponent. Looking at this armored warship that was approaching closer and closer again, Ye Chuan recalled super electric eel in his Cyan Lotus Space and estimated the success rate of the ambush of this yao beast. After considering again and again for a while, he decided to not act recklessly. The super electric eel was indeed powerful, unfortunately, he had only one of it. If he had large numbers of super electric eels, not to mention one hundred, even if only ten super electric eels, then he would have sent them to crush this armored warship directly. Moreover, no matter how many such armored warship Qing Tianhou sent, he would have gotten rid of them, killing his troops! ¡°I will try my best, noble son, wait for my information.¡± Hai Dashan was eager to give it a try. He took a deep breath to calm down his nervous heart, then plunged into the water and swam towards the armored warship like a fish without leaving any ripples on the sea surface. Moreover, nothing unusualness could be seen from the deck of this armored warship. The huge armored warship whistled past the reef once again creating a sea wave. The armored warship gradually got further away and the soldiers were still standing on the deck emitting dense killing intent, but at one corner of the deck, a person had appeared without anybody knowing. The sea demon warrior Hai Dashan had smoothly boarded armored warship without anybody knowing. Although his cultivation was not high, was only Rank 1 Daoist Master realm, he was quick and agile, moreover, although he was not up to much on the land, he however was further strengthened in the water. ¡°Sea Demon Clan is pretty good, they possess such a special innate skill, unfortunately, there are too few clansmen.¡± Seeing Hai Dashan had quietly boarded the armored warship, Ye Chuan praised Sea Demon Clan. In the beginning, seeing the innate skill Song of Sea Demon of Hai Lili, Ye Chuan was incomparably shocked. If there were over a hundred remarkable women like Hai Lili and took a turn to use this innate skill Song of Sea Demon, then regardless of what kind of enemy they encountered, all will be slaughtered. Later, he was disappointed to learn that only Hai Lili had this innate skill in the entire Sea Demon Clan. And just a moment ago, after learning the current situation of Sea Demon Clan, he learned why this race was substantially weakened. To become a strong race, a large population was the foundation. Otherwise, even if there was a heaven-defying super expert in the race, it would also be useless and the race would decline eventually. Sea Demon warriors were quick and fierce, they also had a unique innate kill, moreover, they could fight on the land and also in the water, they were the model amphibian warriors. Unfortunately, their population was too small, even if the entire population was enlisted, they couldn¡¯t form an army, can only form a small scale elite sea warrior squad. The armored warship rapidly sailed and disappeared into the night. Ye Chuan calmly continued to hide behind the reef and waited for the news from Hai Dashan. But, even after a while, they still didn¡¯t see the armored warship. Little Long¡¯er slowly become nervous and worried about the safety of that sea demon warrior. On that armored warship, although there were no super experts like assassin Rain Demon, there were quite a lot later stage Daoist Master realm experts. Exposing his whereabouts accidentally would lead to his death! Chapter 444: Old Friend The time slowly passed, but that armored warship didn¡¯t appear again. And after a long time, slowly, Ye Chuan also became somewhat worried. Just as the two were ready to take the risk and continue to go forward to see what exactly had happened, a head suddenly popped out from the sea surface. Sea Demon warrior Hai Dashan had returned. ¡°Noble son Ye, I inspected it clearly, there are over 800 soldiers on that warship. Their main weapon is a sword, but they also have a dozen or so giant crossbows. Each crossbow is made up of pure iron and as thick as human¡¯s thigh. Their range is at least one kilometer.¡± Hai Dashan quietly swam over to the front of Ye Chuan and reported with excitement. Quietly sneaking into the armored warship and inspecting the circumstance, then quietly escaping unscathed, in this vast sea, only sea demon warriors might have such ability. It was impossible for Little Long¡¯er to do so. ¡°Giant Crossbows?¡± Ye Chuan became somewhat serious. This kind of giant crossbows was a heavy weapon of armored warship without a doubt. Getting hit by this kind of crossbows would definitely sink ordinary ships. Even sea dragon boat forged with dragon¡¯s bone would definitely be unable to endure for long. It seemed his previous decision was wise. If they had come forward with sea dragon boat, then they would have encountered the siege of several such armored warships and got destroyed. ¡°Other than those soldiers, did you notice any other strange aspect? Or, some other people?¡± Ye Chuan asked. Now, he roughly knew the military strength of that armored warship, but what was going on with that vaguely familiar aura, Ye Chuan still had yet to understand that. ¡°Most of the soldiers are on the deck, as for any other strange aspect, there is¡­¡­¡± Hai Dashan paused for a bit and added, ¡°The entire armored warship is divided into three floors. There is nothing peculiar on the deck. The second floor is the place for living, there is nothing strange there too. As for the third floor, it is the place where sailors paddles. But, the greater part of the sailors are shabbily dressed and some even wore shackles, it seems¡­¡­ seems that they are salve warriors.¡± In the Overseas World, it was common to plunder people and make them salves. Ships like sea dragon boat that purely relied on crystal stones and magic formation to sail were very rare. The overwhelming majority of ships still relied on sails and manpower to row. The bigger the ship, the bigger the manpower needed, so many people in their prime were robbed and turned into slave warriors. And they were usually made to row the ship, but when the fight occurred, they were sent out in the front. And if they were able to accumulate enough military merit, then they could restore their freedom and become a real warrior. ¡°Slave warriors?¡± Ye Chuan frowned, but thinking back, it seemed that there was no acquaintance captured as a slave warrior. However, there was not enough time to think, he just warned Little Long¡¯er and shrunk back. The armored warship appeared in their field of vision once again and made a round trip in the nearby sea area. ¡°Just a moment ago, when I secretly sneaked into the third floor of the armored warship, I quietly took a glace inside. The leader slave warrior was a middle-aged man who was nearly two meters tall. He had a long beard, and didn¡¯t look like a person from overseas. He should be a person from the mainland.¡± Hai Dashan added, and seeing the armored warship was getting closer and closer, he stopped speaking. He had already said whatever he needed to say. A middle-aged man who was nearly two meters tall, entire face covered with beard, could it be¡­¡­ Ye Chuan remained silent as he suddenly thought of a person. That person was Tuoba Xiong, the Sect Master of Black Cauldron Sect. Since he had gone to the sea with Tuoba Xiaoniao, there was no news of Tuoba Xiong as if they had vanished into the thin air. Now, hearing the description of Hai Dashan, it seemed that he was on that armored warship. Crash, along with the sea waves, the armored warship got closer and closer. Tuoba Xiong, is that really you? What about Tuoba Xiaoniao, where is she? Ye Chuan muttered to himself, watching that armored warship coming closer and closer. Suddenly, he made a move that was beyond the expectation of both Little Long¡¯er and Hai Dashan. He plunged into the sea and swam towards that armored warship. After suddenly learning the whereabouts of Tuoba Xiong, regardless of whether that was true or false, Ye Chuan had to personally go to confirm. Tuoba Xiong had experienced a lot of winds and waves in his life. He was a tough person who could withstand all kinds of hardships. But, Tuoba Xiaoniao was different. She was gentle like water. Letting her follow Tuoba Xiong to wander around Overseas World and suffer all kinds of hardships made Ye Chuan distress. ¡°Your Excellency!¡± ¡°Noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Little Long¡¯er and Hai Dashan exclaimed and flowed him without any hesitation. The armored warship was speeding along the sea surface as if a huge seabird. Under the dim light of night, the three people quickly swam like a fish towards that armored warship. In the water, the innate skill of Hai Dashan was completely displayed. He was faster than even Ye Chuan. He took the lead and they quietly crawled up the armored warship. On the deck, nearly 800 soldiers were lined up neatly and orderly. Each other them were loyally doing their duty while emitting dense killing intent. Ye Chuan took a glance from the distance. He was always alert against several later stage Daoist Master realm experts. And under the lead of Hai Dahsan, they went straight towards the third floor. This time, their main objective was to gather military intelligence. But, summoning super electric eel, Six-Winged Golden Cicada and other yao beasts, and launching a surprise attack along with himself and Little Long¡¯er, Ye Chuan was confident that he could massacre everyone of this armored warship along with those soldiers on the deck. But, before ascertaining the action of Qing Tianhou, it was not wise to attack rashly. It would only startle the snake. Compared to the two floors above, the third floor was damp and dark. Even before reaching the third floor, they could smell a foul smell. The smell of sweat, the smell of rotting wounds and some inexplicable smells were mixed together. Little Long¡¯er and Hai Dashan was choked by this pungent smell and stopped their step instinctively. Ye Chuan however continued to walk forward without batting an eyelid and quietly entered the third floor. In the dark cabin, a large group of bare-chested slaves was dripping with sweat as they put forth their strength to row. The person in the front was a nearly two meters tall big bearded man. The oar in his hands was also the largest. Every move used all his strength and his entire body was completely drenched with sweat. A dozen or so soldiers were walking back and forth with dense killing intent. They were ferociously lash anyone they found not pleasing to the eye. That big bearded man was positioned in the front, he was the example for these numerous slave soldiers. He had the most lash marks on his body and his body was also dripping with blood. Ye Chuan who had quietly sneaked into this cabin suddenly stood still in the dark. He recognized that man in the first glance. He really was Tuoba Xiong who had completely disappeared without any news after going out to the sea. Physically, he was still that person of the past, but his spirit and temperament were already completely different. His beard was ill-organized, and he no longer had that domineering and wildly arrogant air of the past. Now, he was working hard regardless of criticism like a willing ox. His stature was still tall and big, but was very thin and skinny, moreover, compared to before going out to the sea, the energy fluctuation within his body had not only not increased, rather had weakened greatly. It seemed that he was at most Rank 3 Daoist Master realm. In addition, he was bound with a thick chain, and every time he paddled the oar, the chain would make sounds. Chapter 445: Lord Qi Little Long¡¯er and Hai Dashan also quietly followed in. As for Ye Chuan, he still quietly stood still in the dark watching Tuoba Xiong who was rowing. Needless to say, just looking at his current downtrodden appearance, Ye Chuan could know that he had suffered hardships in this period of time. In the past, he was overweeningly ambitious Sect Master who set himself high above the masses, now, he however was reduced to a prisoner who was rowing the ship in a dark and damp cabin. If this was spread, then who would believe it? Who would have thought that the former tyrant of one region of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Overlord Tuoba Xiong, had unexpectedly fallen so low? Ye Chuan sighed softly and looked towards Tuoba Xiong with some pity. ¡°Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you want to live, don¡¯t you want to eat?¡± The soldiers were cursing furiously and from time to time, they swung the leather-thronged whip while walking back and forth. In less than half an incense time, several more bloody wounds appeared on the body of Tuoba Xiong. Ye Chuan still stood still, but looking at those dozen or so soldiers, his gaze had already turned ice-cold and his complexion didn¡¯t look good. The slaves were slaves, these soldiers simply didn¡¯t see these slaves as human. There was a slave was truly exhausted completely to move and stopped to rest, then, ferocious leather-thronged whips whistled in the air as he was lashed to death by these soldiers. And his corpse was directly tossed out to the sea from a small window. As for the other salves, they continued to immerse themselves in rowing, no one batted an eyelid because it was such a common occurrence that they were already numb to it. Tuoba Xiong had already reduced to this, what about Tuoba Xiaoniao, where is she? The heart of Ye Chuan tightened, and thinking about weak and delicate Tuoba Xiaoniao, he was dying to immediately rush over and asked about her to Tuoba Xiong, but looking at those patrolling soldiers, he forcibly suppressed his impulse and continued to wait calmly. To deal with these soldiers in front of him, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t need to personally make a move, just Little Long¡¯er alone could kill all of them and save Tuoba Xiong, but what about after that? With the whereabouts of Tuoba Xiaoniao unknown, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. After an hour, the armored warship finally stopped, and the exhausted slaves stood up and took rest in succession as another group of slaves took their job. Tuoba Xiong also stood up and dragged his exhausted body to one dark corner by himself. Then, he sat down and leaning against the wall, he closed his eyes and took a breather. He had been continuously putting for all his strength to row the ship while wearing shackles, now, he was dead tired, and the energy within his body had already went chaotic and didn¡¯t calm down for a long time. The lash marks on his body were still bleeding, but he didn¡¯t even care about it. Since he had been spending his time like this, it would be strange if his cultivation grew. ¡°Here, have a drink.¡± A vague and familiar voice resounded and Tuoba Xiong smelled a wine fragrance he had not smelled for a long time. Then, he immediately took the wine pot and drank it without even opening his eyes. But, perhaps, his body was too weak or he had not drunk wine for a long time, or this wine was too strong, he coughed. Only after he drank half a pot of wine, he noticed a warmth floating up in his mind and his limbs also felt very comfortable. Moreover, not only his exhaustion had disappeared, even the wounds on his body also quickly took a turn for the better. Although the wounds were still bleeding, they were healing at the speed that was discernible to the naked eye. In addition, the energy within his body also simmered down and even showed a faint signed of improvement. ¡°Eh, what is this wine?¡± Tuoba Xiong quickly noticed the unusualness and opened his eyes. He saw that a youth had appeared in front of him at an unknown time. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, then his eyes was filled with disbelief, ¡°Ye¡­¡­, Ye Chuan, is that you?¡± Tipsy Tuba Xiong suddenly sobered up. Without thinking, he knew that the wine in his hand was indeed not ordinary. Ye Chuan had clearly put Pei Yuan Pill and wound treating pills in the wine. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, it¡¯s me.¡± Ye Chuan lowered his voice and shot a glance at patrolling soldiers not far away and added, ¡°Let¡¯s not speak here, Your Excellency Sect Master, let¡¯s go.¡± This dark and damp cabin was not a place where a human being should stay. If this continues on, then Tuoba Xiong would either die out of exhaustion or will be lashed to death. Out of pity, Ye Chuan decided to save Tuoba Xiong. Unexpectedly, Tuoba Xiong calmed down after a brief shock and then returning the medicinal wine in his hand to Ye Chuan, he coldly said, ¡°No need, you can leave.¡± ¡°Our Lord is kindly helping you, old fellow, you¡­¡­¡± Little Long¡¯er angrily said. Sneaking into this place was very dangerous, but who would have thought that Tuoba Xiong unexpectedly didn¡¯t appreciate it. Did this fellow become accustomed to being enslaved or went crazy? ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, are you afraid that I will laugh at you? Or, did I injure your self-esteem?¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°People should be flexible, after such a setback, did you completely sink into vice and give up?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my business, you don¡¯t need to care!¡± Tuoba Xiong coldly said, then leaning on the wall, he closed his eyes again, refusing to acknowledge the presence of Ye Chuan. This time, not only Little Long¡¯er, even Hai Dashan couldn¡¯t stand by idly and watch, and snorted coldly. He had never seen such a person who failed to appreciate other¡¯s kindness. ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, you can wallow in degeneration and like to be abused, if you are willing, no one will care, but what about Xiaoniao? Where is she?¡± Ye Chuan calmly asked about the whereabouts of Tuoba Xiaoniao. Tuoba Xiong suddenly trembled and opening his eyes, he muttered to himself, ¡°Xiaoniao, my daughter Xiaoniao¡­¡­¡± ¡°What happened to Xiaoniao?¡± Ye Chuan knew that this was anything but reassuring. He grabbed Tuoba Xiong and said, ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, speak, is Xiaoniao captured? Tell me, I will go to save her!¡± Tuoba Xiong nodded his head and his eyes shone with a fierce light and the energy fluctuation within his body increased sharply. In an instant, he seemed to have returned to the days of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. But after a while, he became dejected again and shaking his head in pain, he said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Noble son Ye, you can¡¯t save Xiaoniao, even if we cooperate, we are not the opponent of Lord Qi, you should leave. Leave quickly, the farther the better, don¡¯t ever come back again!¡± Seeing one soldier, consciously or unconsciously, looking over, Tuoba Xiong urged in a low voice, refusing the good intention of Ye Chuan. He had dreamed about saving his daughter Tuoba Xiong while desperately rowing the ship here regardless of criticism. He hoped that he would be free someday, then he would think of a way to find Lord Qi and redeem Tuoba Xiaoniao. If the soldiers discover Ye Chuan¡¯s group, then everyone would be over. They will die for sure and the end fate of his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao would also be even more miserable! When he saw Ye Chuan for the first time, Tuoba Xiong was also endlessly excited as he saw the hope of saving Tuoba Xiaoniao faster. But soon, he came back to his senses and realized that that was impossible. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was outstanding and had a group of strong followers, wanting to save Tuoba Xiaoniao from the hands of Lord Qi was even harder than reaching the sky. ¡°Who is Lord Qi?¡± Ye Chuan also sensed the peculiar gaze of soldiers, but he didn¡¯t care about it and hastily asked more, holding the soldiers of Tuoba Xiong. He had finally obtained the news of Tuoba Xiaoniao with great difficulty, moreover, he knew that she had fallen into a bad situation, how could he just leave in just this fashion? Chapter 446: Murderous intentions ¡°Lord¡­¡­, Lord Qi is¡­¡­¡± Mentioning Lord Qi, terror and uneasiness appeared in the face of Tuoba Xiong. But, under the detailed question of Ye Chuan, his mouth moved, wanting to speak out everything. But, it was too late. Several guards noticed the unusualness over here and walked over here. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± ¡°You three, where did you come from?¡± The guards shouted loudly with dense killing intent while rushing over. Then, even more guards rushed over. Although this cabin was dark, the clothing of Ye Chuan and others clearly attracted the attention of guards, making them alert. But, perhaps, they were used to being rude and unreasonable, or perhaps, they were very confident in themselves, they didn¡¯t ring the alarm immediately. Instead, they rushed over, wanting to capture the trip of Ye Chuan. Tuoba Xiong closed his mouth and curled up on the ground. The five guards spread out into a semicircle, surrounding the trio of Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiong. All of them had a leather-thronged whip on their hands. As for the remaining guards, upon seeing this, they slowly walked forward. All of them had a ferocious smile on their face. ¡°You three¡­¡­, who are you? Where did you come from?¡± The leader guard sinisterly sized up the trio of Ye Chuan. And after a short while, he swung his thick leather-thronged whip towards Tuoba Xiong as he said, ¡°Old bastard, what, seeking someone to come save you, want to escape?¡± Pa! A loud and clear sound resounded as another bloody scar appeared on the body of Tuoba Xiong. The cultivation base of this leader guard was at most Rank 1 Daoist Master. In his prime, Tuoba Xiong could kill him with a finger. But now, his body was weak and was also bound with shackles, so he didn¡¯t have any strength to resist. What¡¯s more, he basically didn¡¯t even have any thoughts to resist and let these guards beat him. ¡°Eh, still daring to act dumb?¡± ¡°Old fellow, will you speak or not?¡± The leader guard ferociously swung his leather-thronged whip continuously at Tuoba Xiong with dense killing intent. Not long after, the entire body of Tuoba Xiong was covered with blood. The other guards laughed, seeing this and looked at the trio of Ye Chuan with evil intention. They were waiting for their leader to vent off, then they would make a move together. Suddenly discovering the trio of Ye Chuan in this cabin, these guards were nervous in the beginning, but they were relaxed now. They felt secure in the knowledge that they had strong backing. Someone sneaking into the ship to save someone, this kind of matter was already not the first time, but no one has ever returned alive from this task. Either they would also join the ranks of these slaves or they would be lashed to death by these guards before they were thrown into the sea. In order to not alarm the experts on the deck, the trip of Ye Chuan had weakened the energy fluctuation within their body, so their cultivation appeared mediocre, this in turn made these guards even more assured. Tuoba Xiong remained silent without uttering a word. He just let the leather-thronged whip ferociously lash him. As for the salves here, they were already accustomed to hearing the sounds of lashing, it was nothing unusual for them. Little Long¡¯er and Hai Dashan nevertheless were frightened hearing these sounds of lashing. Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t speak, but his eyes were getting colder and colder. Like unchanging vast starry sky and like iron, now, no emotions could be seen on his face. This cold side of Ye Chuan frightened Little Long¡¯er and Hai Dashan even more, moreover, they began to sweat profusely. ¡°Heh heh, old fellow, you are truly strong-willed. Today, let¡¯s see whether my leather-thronged whip is strong or your bones are harder, hahaha¡­¡­¡± The leader guard roared with laughter looking at Tuoba Xiong who let him whip without speaking. Then, he became all the more insolent and suddenly raised his leather-thronged whip. This time, he used all of his energy to whip Tuoba Xiong, wanting to break his ribs. In this dark and damp cabin, tormenting and lashing slaves were the ways to have fun for these guards. The more they got to lash, the more relentless they became and the more pleasure they felt. A normal slave couldn¡¯t even withstand a few lashing and roll about while wailing mournfully, but Tuoba Xiong, this kind of hard bone, stimulated greater pleasure of leader guard. Tuoba Xiong was still silent but he was trembling. He didn¡¯t want to die, he didn¡¯t want to be lashed to death by these scum guards. He wanted to leave this place alive and save his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao. But, after staying here for a long time, he knew that it was useless to beg for mercy, it would only make this leader guard happier as he lashed harder. But, resisting was also courting death, even if these guards were killed and he wouldn¡¯t escape, moreover, would even implicate his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao too. A big hand appeared out of thin air and suddenly caught the leather-thronged whip that was about to land on the body of Tuoba Xiong. ¡°Enough!¡± Ye Chuan finally moved, he grabbed that tough leather-thronged whip, and coldly snorted. The leader guard suddenly shivered without any reason and he felt intense uneasiness. ¡°Br¡­¡­, brat, it¡¯s your turn very soon! What, you cannot wait?¡± The leader guard pretended to be strong and calm, and tried hard to pull back his leather-thronged whip, but to his surprise, he was unable to pull it back. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength, but he was still unable to pull it back from the grip of Ye Chuan. Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of this leader guard and he felt that this situation was anything but reassuring. ¡°Yes, I already cannot wait! You all, go to hell for me!¡± Ye Chuan said and a violent energy fluctuation suddenly erupted within his body. He was very worried about Tuoba Xiaoniao, he truly couldn¡¯t wait any longer. ¡°No, Ye Chuan, don¡¯t¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiong who had been silent for a long time wanted to stop Ye Chuan. When he was still in Cloud Mist Mountain Range, he already knew the temperament of Ye Chuan. Usually, he was low-key, but when he made a move, he would dare to kill anyone that blocks his path. If Lord Qi was alarmed because these guards were killed, then everything would be over! Tuoba Xiong jumped over and grabbed Ye Chuan to stop him from killing, unfortunately, he was already too late. Bang! Ye Chuan didn¡¯t use any treasure nor he used any technique, he just punched. But, this simple punch directly blew off the body of this leader guard. The latter was sent flying like a kite with a broken string and collided against the wall. On the surface, no wound could be seen, but all of his internal organs were smashed and his bones were broken. When an ordinary man was angry, blood would in every five steps, but when Daoist Master got angry, even a ghost would wail! Ye Chuan had angrily made this move. He had held back nothing in this punch. When the strength of 162,000 suddenly erupts, even a mountain would collapse, just a guard of Rank 1 Daoist Master realm was nothing. The slaves who were only immersed in rowing the ship simultaneously looked over. They were shocked and their eyes were filled with disbelief. As for the other guards, they were also shocked and they didn¡¯t react for a moment. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, what are you waiting for? Kill, leave no one behind!¡± Ye Chuan angrily shouted and rushed towards the nearest guard and punched. There was no suspense in the result. This guard quickly followed the footsteps of the leader guard. His body was also blown off by this punch. ¡°Who are you people?¡± ¡°Quick, quickly ask for the reinforcement!¡± The remaining guards finally reacted. Some rushed to meet enemies and some retreated in fear. In addition, there were some clever people who rushed towards the exit without uttering a word. They wanted to rush to the deck to ask for help. The result, when they were about to reach the exit, a shadow flashed in front of them. A demonic dragon had blocked their way. Moreover, before they could react, they were torn into two halves. Little Long¡¯er transformed into demonic dragon blocked the exit and Ye Chuan crushed all the guards in the cabin. Chapter 447: Massacring the armored ship All the guards quickly fell on the pool of their blood and died. Hai Dashan was half beat slow to react, then, he stood still. It was not that he was nervous and frightened, rather all the guards were already killed by Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er, and even if he wanted to move, there was no opponent. ¡°You¡­¡­, who are you all?¡± The leader guard raised his head and looked at Ye Chuan with great difficulty. Although all of his internal organs had already exploded, he unexpectedly was still alive. While speaking, he secretly reached out to a horn hung on his waist, wanting to blow it to give the alarm. The result, just after he raised the horn with great difficulty, before he could blow the horn, a leg firmly trampled his hand. ¡°Who is Lord Qi?¡± Ye Chuan asked stepping on the right hand of this leader guard. Now, his complexion was ice-cold and there was no emotion fluctuation in his eyes. The leader guard still wanted to struggle, the result, Ye Chuan put forth strength on his leg and the bone of leader guard was broken, making him tremble in pain. ¡°Lord¡­¡­, Lord Qi is Lord Qi! Brat, if you have the ability, then kill me, Lord Qi will¡­¡­¡± The leader guard shouted himself hoarse, but before he could finish speaking, he wailed mournfully as Ye Chuan trampled on his palm and increased his strength. ¡°If you want to die a bit faster, then answer quickly, who is Lord Qi?¡± Ye Chuan saw that the leader guard was still stubbornly refusing to answer, he coldly said, ¡°Be sensible and speak, don¡¯t ask for pain. Even if you are a Half-Sage realm, I have 999 ways to make you speak. Don¡¯t force me to use those cruel torture methods that have already been lost in Wilderness World.¡± Ye Chuan was worried about the Tuoba Xiaoniao, so his killing intent was dense. He didn¡¯t have time for this nonsense. As the Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he knew many ways to extort a confession by torture, if this leader guard stubbornly refused to speak, then he would use any means necessary. The guard leader who had been stubbornly refusing to speak shivered upon seeing the sharp gaze of Ye Chuan and he no longer had the thoughts to resist and said, ¡°Speak, I will speak, Lord Qi is the favorite person of Qing Tianhou. He is also the advisor of Lord Hou. Moreover, he is the commander of this operation. The commanders of all the armored warships are under the command of Lord Qi.¡± ¡°Good, very good, you can go on your way now.¡± Ye Chuan coldly said and trampled the chest of this leader guard and the latter vomited blood. ¡°You¡­¡­¡± The leader guard pointed at Ye Chuan and his mouth moved, wanting to say something, but he collapsed and stopped breathing. In the cabin, now, it was dead silence. In the past, no matter what happened, the slaves would always be immersed in rowing, but now, they were looking over here with a blank expression. Those guards, they died just like that? Who are these three people? Even after knowing who Lord Qi is, he still dared to kill him. Are these people ignorant or fearless? All the salves were shocked and disbelief was written all over their face. ¡°It¡¯s over, everything is over, it¡¯s over¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiong muttered to himself in despair. All the guards had died. Now, he could escape with Ye Chuan, but he was neither excited nor happy, rather he was downhearted and thoroughly given up all hopes. After this news was transmitted to Lord Qi, not only he couldn¡¯t escape this sea area, his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao would also be implicated. Although Ye Chuan was powerful, how could he be the opponent of Lord Qi? ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, what should we do now?¡± Little Long¡¯er walked over and asked nervously. All the guards inside this cabin were taken care of, but the elite soldiers and experts on the deck were not that easy to deal with. Among them, there was no lack of later stage Daoist Master realm experts, and with more than 800 people rushing up in a crowd, they might be in serious trouble. Moreover, if the other armored warships also rushed over upon hearing the news, then that would be even more troublesome. Ye Chuan picked up the horn on the ground and handed it to Little Long¡¯er, then instructed, ¡°Very simple, come one kill one, come a group then kill a group, blow the horn.¡± ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, you mean¡­¡­¡± Little Long¡¯er was very surprised. After killing all the guards here, Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t going to run far away, instead, he wanted to take the initiative to blow the horn to give the alarm. What does he want to do? Kill a few more soldiers to vent his anger or wanted to take advantage of this occasion to massacre and capture this armored warship? Little Long¡¯er was very nervous, his heartbeat sped up and his breathing became rapid. Wanting to massacre this armored warship with three people, was Ye Chuan daydreaming or went crazy? Ye Chuan didn¡¯t reply, then with a thought, a dazzling cyan light flashed in this dark cabin and a large group of Evil Eyed Cow Demons appeared; then, a cyan light flashed again and a dozen or so human face snakes holding blades appeared; then, Six-Winged Golden Cicada, wooden puppet Hei Kui also appeared one by one. At the moment, the Yao Beast Legion lacked water attributed yao beasts and amphibians warriors, so they were unable to fight in water, but in this dark and narrow cabin, they could bring out of play their strong attack power. Ye Chuan summoned yao beasts within his Cyan Lotus Space with dense killing intent. He was determined to massacre this armored warship. As for the only water attributed yao beast, super electric eel, that was his final trump card and he had another arrangement for it. Perhaps, because they had not come out for a long time, regardless of Evil Eyed Cow Demons or Human-faced snakes, they looked ferocious and their killing intent was flourishing, looking forward to the arrival of a bloody battle. In this dark and narrow cabin, dense killing intent quickly flooded. The slaves shrunk to one corner of this cabin in fear. Everyone looked ghastly pale squeezing together in that corner. Clearly, since the guards were already killed, they could jump out of the window and flee for their life, but perhaps, they feared drifting around the vast sea for a long time, or perhaps, they were already accustomed to being a slave, no one escaped and no one stepped forward to help resist. Clearly, no one was optimistic about the trio of Ye Chuan like Tuoba Xiong. They already deemed that the trio of Ye Chuan would die. Heavy disorderly footsteps quickly came from the floor above. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Hei Tousan, why did the ship stopped? Are you all tired of living?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. The shouts of soldiers quickly came from outside the cabin and tens of soldiers rushed in. Before Little Long¡¯er blew the horn in his hand, soldiers of the deck had come down in succession to check the situation. Unlike the guards here, these soldiers were elite. All of them wore heavy armor and held a shining sharp sword. Roar! A powerful dragon roar resounded throughout the sky. Little Long¡¯er transformed into a demonic dragon once again and prepared to rush towards the soldiers that had rushed in. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, your task is to deal with experts onboard, leave these ordinary soldiers to Yao Beast Legion, no matter how many of them come here, all of them will die here!¡± Ye Chuan stopped Little Long¡¯er and let these numerous soldiers rush in without batting an eyelid. Since the soldiers were in a hurry, they didn¡¯t bring any torch, and it was not daytime, moreover, this cabin was dark, so suddenly rushing in this dark cabin from outside, they became blind for a moment and only saw some vague shadows in front. At first glance, it looked like thousands of people were huddled together, but looking again carefully, they saw different and felt strange, moreover, instinctively felt a strong sense of danger. ¡°Stupid fellows, go on your way together!¡± Ye Chuan calmly clapped and before the soldiers could clearly see the situation of this cabin, over thousand Evil Eyed Yao Beasts suddenly showed their might. Closely packed light beams shot towards the soldiers, changing their body into a sieve. Chapter 448: Cyan robed leader After a burst of sad and shrill screams, tens of soldiers fell. The majority of them had just rushed into the dark cabin, but they still fell without seeing the situation inside. The heavy armor they were wearing was useless. Tuoba Xiong was still curling up at one corner while muttering ¡®Finished, everything is over¡¯ continuously. The slaves were also crowded together, but although they were also anxious, their eyes gradually shone and they seemed to have seen a gleam of hope. But, very soon, this gleam of hope was extinguished as uniform heavy sounds of footsteps came from the upper floor along with a powerful horn sound. The soldiers on the deck had come down to kill. The true test was finally here. Little Long¡¯er was also nervous. He transformed into his dragon form, preparing to attack at any time. As for sea demon warrior Hai Dashan, he was even more nervous. He pulled out a sharp dagger and stood beside Ye Chuan. Even before the big army had arrived, he was already so frightened that his legs were shivering. ¡°It¡¯s good that they came together!¡± Ye Chuan still stood still. His eyes were ice-cold without any emotional fluctuation. He was facing the upcoming war with absolute calmness and murderous intentions. At that time, cyan light flashed again and super electric eel, this trump card, was summoned. After the refinement of Cyan Lotus Lamp, this super electric eel had become tiny, only was as long as a chopstick. It looked like an unassuming small snake, but it was completely shrouded with lightning. After its build was shrunk, not only its fighting power not decreased, instead had increased. ¡°Go, kill all the soldiers onboard, leave no one behind!¡± Ye Chuan ordered and that super electric eel jumped out from the window, plunging into the vast sea outside. The heavy footsteps got closer and closer. The large army of this armored warship was about to arrive, but just sent out the super electric eel. His purpose was far from being as simple as just defending the cabin, on the contrary, he wanted to launch a surprise attack from behind those soldiers to kill all of them! ¡°Storm in, quick!¡± ¡°Regardless of whether they joined the rebellion or not, kill all the salves, leave no one behind!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ From outside the cabin, the roars of soldiers came. Even now, the army still didn¡¯t know what had happened inside this cabin. They just thought that the slaves inside the cabin had rebelled. Thus, they directly rushed in because they had weapons. And just like the soldiers who died before them, they were also blinded for a moment after they rushed into the dark cabin. Next, the suffered the same tragedy. The neatly arranged Evil Eyed Cow Demons attacked with all their strength and thickly dotted light beams whistled at them. Blood and fragment limbs flew everywhere along with screams. The army with dense killing intent suffered a head-on blow. No one knew what material was used to build the walls of this cabin, however, not only was it solid, but it was also very tough. Even after such attacks, it unexpectedly didn¡¯t collapse. ¡°Kill, charge in!¡¯ ¡°Knock down the wall, break it!¡± The soldiers in the front fell in their pool of blood, but the soldiers behind were still ferociously rushing in, unafraid of death. One had to say that these soldiers were very fierce and tough. Once they successfully rushed into the cabin and occupied the favorable terrain, then Yao Beast Legion might not necessarily be able to stop them. Boom, the wall was forcibly knocked down and soldiers wearing heavy armor rushed in. Among them, there was no shortage of experts. They quickly saw the neatly arranged Evil Eyed Cow Demons and they used their flying swords and crossbows to deal with them. At that time, 12 Human-Faced Snakes rushed over to stop the experts mixed in the army. Little Long¡¯er who was prepared long ago also rushed over. He suddenly rushed out from the dark and stopped a Rank 6 Daoist Master realm expert relying on his doughty demonic dragon body. Ye Chuan also moved and attacked personally. His opponent was a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm middle-aged man. He was tall, was wearing cyan war robe and had two heavy hammers in his hands. There were tens of soldiers around him. They changed their formation from time to time under his instruction. He seemed to be the leader of this armored warship. The soldiers struggled to advance forward and rapidly decreased the distance between them and Evil Eyed Cow Demons. They wanted to break this formation of Yao Beast Legion. But, under the leadership of Evil Eyed Cow Demon King, many Evil Eyed Cow Demons retreated while attacking. Many cyan colored light beams whistled out and soldiers fell one after another. Unfortunately, the cabin was too narrow and there was not enough space. Not long after, the Yao Beast Legion no longer had the route of retreat. The situation was bad. ¡°Damn it, where did these yao beasts come from? Kill them all!¡± The leader in cyan robe issued an order and sent a human-faced snake flying, then lead his men to charge forward. Although light beams of Evil Eyed Cow Demons had shot towards him, even his robe wasn¡¯t damaged, let alone getting injured. Clearly, this cyan war robe was a piece of extraordinary treasure. He had the cultivation base of Rank 7 Daoist Master realm, with the addition of this kind of treasure and many bodyguards around him, he rapidly drew closer to Evil Eyed Cow Demons. Roar! A powerful dragon roar resounded and Little Long¡¯er who had transformed into a demonic dragon rushed over to stop this forcibly charging leader. ¡°Humph, just a young snake also dare to block my path, kill!¡± The cyan robed leader snorted and raising his left hammer, he blocked the sharp claws of Little Long¡¯er, and used his right hammer to smash squarely on the abdomen of Little Long¡¯er and sent him flying. Little Long¡¯er who was always known for his doughty body instantly become bloody. His abdomen was badly mangled. At that time, tens of soldiers rushed over and nearly cut him into minced meat. ¡°I thought that it was some kind of powerful yao beast, but it just so-so, kill!¡± The cyan robed leader emitted dense killing intent and suddenly jumped towards Evil Eyed Cow Demon King. The light beams of Evil Eyed Cow Demons were very powerful, they could pierce through heavy armors, but their shooting frequency was too slow. They mainly relied on numbers to win. As a kind of low-leveled yao beast, in a one-on-one fight, even an initial stage Xiushi realm soldier could kill them. With the cultivation realm of this cyan robed leader, if he successfully rushed over, then he would definitely massacre the entire Evil Eyed Cow Demons. At that time, a strong figure suddenly rushed out from a pile of corpses and punched the cyan robed leader. There was nothing profound about this punch, but it had terrifying strength, even air seemed to be torn apart. Ye Chuan had been prepared in advance. He didn¡¯t directly rush towards this cyan robed leader, rather hid in the dark corner among the pile of corpses. And when this cyan robed leader rashly rushed forward, he suddenly initiated a ferocious attack. Whoosh! An ear piercing void breaking sound resounded in his cabin. He was waiting for such a long time for this chance! Ye Chuan had attacked with all his strength. The strength of 162,000 jin had suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption. No one could stop it! Rank 4 Daoist Master realm versus Rank 7 Daoist Master realm, Ye Chuan was still full three levels below this cyan robed leader, so in order to win, he had to wait for a chance to launch a surprise attack! Only courage was not enough to defeat the strong as the weak, one also need wisdom and experience. The complexion of this cyan robed leader changed greatly as he felt strong danger at that moment. He wanted to dodge the attack of Ye Chuan, but he couldn¡¯t maneuver in midair. In desperation, he was forced to hastily raise his two hammers to protect his chest. Dong! A muffled sound exploded in the ears of people. Several sharp-sighted and deft soldiers tried to rush forward to protect their cyan robed leader, the result, before they could make a move, they were sent flying by an invisible shockwave. Chapter 449: The calamity of violent eels ¡°Kill!¡¯ Ye Chuan roared and before cyan robed leader could land on the ground, he ferociously punched out again and the two parties collided against each other. Merely, since one side was prepared in advance and sparing no effort and the other side nevertheless was hastily parrying in midair, he couldn¡¯t even display 50% of his power. The cultivation base of cyan robed leader was a lot higher, but under the frenzied attack of Ye Chuan, he suffered unspeakably. And after colliding several times, his hands that were holding hammers trembled. Finally, Ye Chuan seized an opportunity and his punch landed on his chest. Then, no need to mention that his tall and big body was sent flying, he also vomited a mouthful of blood, suffering a serious injury, moreover, he felt cold in his neck. Thus, after landing on the ground, he reached out to touch his neck and saw his hand was bloody, he was nearly beheaded just a moment ago. Between the fingers of Ye Chuan, sharp blades dazzling with pallid light had appeared at an unknown time and he had used Inch Blade to make a deadly move. Unfortunately, he was not successful to kill this cyan robed leader. And seeing a large group of soldiers were rushing over to protect this cyan robed leader, he sighed inwardly as he knew that he lost the chance to behead the other party. The situation got all the more serious. There was only one chance to launch a surprise attack. If it failed, he would be subjected to other¡¯s pressure. Ye Chuan timely changed his position. And he ordered 12 human-faced snakes and Little Long¡¯er to retreat while standing together with numerous Evil Eyed Cow Demons to fight against those soldiers. ¡°Shoot arrows, kill all of them, leave no one behind!¡¯ The cyan robed leader ordered loudly and looking at Ye Chuan, his gnashed his teeth while his eyes shone with resentment and maliciousness. As a venerate Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert and the great leader of this armored warship, he nearly died in the hands of Rank 4 Daoist Master realm Ye Chuan, he had lost his face. Without killing Ye Chuan, he would have no face to command these soldiers, moreover, he couldn¡¯t return and explain himself to Lord Qi. Ye Chuan had timely changed the formation, but under the instruction of this cyan robed leader, the soldiers also quickly changed their formation. They didn¡¯t forcibly rushed over, rather the gathered outside the cabin and used bows and crossbows. Soon, many whistling sounds resounded as many sharp arrows flew over one wave after another towards the Yao Beast Legion of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan stood in the front, Little Long¡¯er, Hai Dashan and 12 human-faced snakes were behind him. All of them used their techniques to stop those arrows and protect Evil Eyed Cow Demons behind them. The greater part of the arrows was blocked, but there were still some arrows which occasionally reached Evil Eyed Cow Demons. And at the same time, the unarmed slave warriors suffered the disaster. They screamed and fell one after another. Under fury, the cyan robed leader ordered to attack indiscriminately. Regardless of Ye Chuan¡¯s group or numerous slaves, he wanted to kill everyone in the cabin. The whistling sounds endlessly resounded in the air and the arrows fell like rain as more and more slaves fell. But, Tuoba Xiong who was continuously muttering ¡®finished, everything is over¡¯ was still fine because the instinct that he had trained over the years made him dodge those arrows subconsciously. Even those arrows which hit him didn¡¯t inure the vital part. As for ordinary slaves, they neither had such a high skill nor had such a strong body, they fell one after another. ¡°Brothers, we cannot just wait to die like this, we should join together and fight.¡± A young slave suddenly stood up and rushed towards the soldiers ready to risk everything while shouting. Behind, other slaves hesitated for a moment, then followed after him in succession. They roared and shouted wanting to fight against those soldiers. Forced by the tyrannical abuse of soldiers, the usually docile slaves who just immersed themselves in rowing and didn¡¯t dare to defy even a bit, at this moment of life and death, the desire to survive made them grit their teeth and rush out to fight. In any case, they would die, but it was better to die fighting! ¡°Commendable courage, unfortunately¡­¡­¡± The eyebrows of Ye Chuan shot up. He looked at the youth running in the front with appreciation, soon after that, he shook his head. Even with himself along with Little Long¡¯er and Yao Beast Legion, they were still unable to rush up, instead they were suppressed. In such a situation, since these slaves had rushed up unarmed, it was no different from rushing to death. Sure enough, the sharp arrows suddenly rained down and slaves fell down one after another not long before they rushed up. The soldiers were trained to attack a large group of people, some were even bringing down the huge crossbows of the deck. This showed that the fiercer attacks were drawing near. With such crossbow that specialized in bombarding armored warships, who could block it? The remaining slaves trembled and dispersed in confusion while screaming. The complexion of Ye Chuan was also solemn as he called out that tardy super electric eel to make a move in his heart. It was not that his group couldn¡¯t rush up and fight a bloody battle against the soldiers in the front, rather the prince was too big. Even if his group ultimately won, the loss outweighs the gain. He had formed this developing Yao Beast Legion with great difficulty, he didn¡¯t want them to suffer heavy casualties. Now, he could only place his hope on the super electric eel to turn the tide. But, the latter was too tardy. After jumping out of the window, there was no trace of it as if it had returned into the vast sea or met something unexpected. Ye Chuan who originally was calm also began to get nervous. ¡°Haha, bring all the great crossbows and kill all of them, quick!¡± The cyan robed leader stayed in the rear treating his wound while laughing heartily. He was endlessly excited seeing Ye Chuan was nervous. The heavy crossbows were pushed over. The arrows of these crossbows were even thicker than the thigh of human, and now, these crossbows were aimed at Ye Chuan and others. Slaves became deathly pale and rushed far away from Ye Chuan¡¯s group. Even Little Long¡¯er and Sea Demon Hai Dashan behind Ye Chuan were so frightened that their teeth chattered. ¡°Withdraw, jump out of the window.¡± Ye Chuan lowered his voice as he issued the order to withdraw. Behind Evil Eyed Cow Demons, there was a window. Before the war, Ye Chuan had already made preparation but this was the last resort for the worst situation. Jumping out of the window and fleeing meant that this operation was an utter failure. ¡°Everyone, heed to my orders, prepare¡­¡­¡± The cyan robed leader noticed the intention of Ye Chuan and immediately ordered to prepare the huge crossbows, but just when those terrifying crossbows were launched, the sea suddenly rolled about and countless lightning bolts appeared. This immediately caused disturbance among the soldiers. ¡°What happened?¡± The cyan robed leader immediately rushed over to the window and looking outside, his limbs immediately become cold and his complexion changed greatly. On the sea surface, many electric eels had appeared at an unknown time. Some were only as long as a chopstick and some were as long as several meters long, there was even more than ten meters long electric eels. Now, there were electric eels everywhere and lightning was crackling all over the vast sea. Where did so many electric eels come from? Can it be that that youth in the cabin summon these yao beasts? Who exactly is he? The cyan robed leader trembled in fear and his heartbeat accelerated with nervousness. But, he didn¡¯t have much time to think, countless electric eels jumped out of the sea surface and landed on the deck, then rushed towards the cabin, moreover, crackling lightning bolts spread all over the ship. Soldiers were rapidly electrocuted and they fell one after another. The soldiers were not prepared from the sudden attack from behind, so they were unable to resist and their formation collapsed quickly. The calamity of violent eels! The tardy electric eel suddenly appeared at the critical moment and initiated a ferocious attack along with countless other electric eels. Chapter 450: Coward Crackle, crackle¡­¡­, the crackling sounds of lightning never stopped as countless electric eels jumped out of the sea surface onto the armored warship. The first to suffer were the soldiers who stayed behind on the deck because of their guard duty. Hundreds of electric eels suddenly jumped out of the sea surface and collided against them, then they discharged electricity, making the body of these dozens of on guard soldiers stiff and numb. Immediately after that, even more electric eels jumped out of the sea surface and landed on the deck, then rushed towards the cabin. Some even directly jumped into the cabin from the window, attacking unsuspecting soldiers from behind. Unlike sea dragon boat, the framework of this armored warship was forged with pig iron and the outer layer was also covered with a layer of iron sheet. It was sufficiently sturdy and it could easily crush the boat forged with wood. But now, this advantage had become a fatal flaw. The iron was a good conductor of electricity, thus the electricity discharged by electric eels spread rapidly and unprepared soldiers had no way to resist and collapsed. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, save me, save me¡­¡­¡± ¡°No¡­¡­¡± The soldiers who were looking ferocious just a moment ago screamed and ran all around to save their life. Some ducked into a corner, some ran towards the upper floors and some even gritted their teeth and jumped into the vast sea, but all was a futile effort. Electricity had spread everywhere, forming a lightning net on the ground, thus, it was useless no matter how fast they ran. Jumping into the sea was even more seeking one¡¯s own doom. Lightning was even more terrifying in the sea. At this time, the cyan robed leader hastily turned around and seeing the soldiers hastily dispersing everywhere in confusion, his heart became cold. Finished! Over 800 elites along with this armored ship, everything is finished! The cyan robed leader was beside himself and was finding this situation hard to accept. He didn¡¯t notice an electric eel suddenly jumping out of the sea surface and rushing towards him. This electric eel was not big, just was about chopsticks¡¯ length. It seemed to be an ordinary young electric eel, but when it was about to come into contact with this cyan robed leader, along with a crackling sounds, lightning suddenly emerged. This lightning was a hundred times more dazzling than the lightning emitted by other electric eels and it had amazing power. ¡°Your Excellency, watch out!¡± A bodyguard rushed up and pushed away the absent-minded cyan robed leader, then along with a crackling sound, this bodyguard was burned to death. ¡°Audacious evil spirit, wait until I return and report to Lord Qi, then he will not let you off!¡± The cyan robed leader came back to his senses. Now, he was so frightened that he didn¡¯t dare to stay here any longer. He ferociously glared at Ye Cguan, then stepping on his flying sword to fly away. All soldiers were done for, even this armored warship was also done for, and although his cultivation was high, he didn¡¯t have the ability to save the situation, so he could only return to report Lord Qi and request reinforcement. ¡°Return to report? Do you think you have that chance?¡± The cold voice of Ye Chuan came from the cabin and a black whip-shaped tentacle streak across the sky at lightning speed and bound the right leg of this cyan robed leader. Then, putting forth his strength to pull, the cyan robed leader was pulled back. Now, the tentacle-shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman within the body of Ye Chuan was circulating, and this cyan robed leader was caught unprepared. But, the latter was also not simple, he didn¡¯t face head on with the strength of Ye Chuan, he just spun and got rid of the tentacle that bound his leg, then he suddenly accelerated. Roar! A powerful dragon roar resounded and Little Long¡¯er rushed over to block the path of this cyan robed leader. The tentacle of Ye Chuan was unable to cause any fatal damage on the cyan robed leader, but it was enough to delay his escape for a moment. ¡°Blocking my path, die!¡± The cyan robed leader angrily roared and used all his strength to swing his hammer, sending Little Long¡¯er flying. Although his injuries were not light, the cyan robed leader was still a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert. And since he was desperately fighting for his life, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er were unable to stop him. But, when the cyan robed leader inwardly sighed in relief thinking he had gotten rid of the pursuing troops after escaping tens of meters away, the sea below him suddenly churned and over ten meter tall huge waves appeared. Crash, the cyan robed leader however continued to press forward sticking close to the sea surface. He flew straight towards the sea waves without slowing down. At that time, a tiny electric eel rushed out from the sea waves and collided with the cyan robed leader. Immediately after that, lightning spread throughout his body. Even though the cyan robed elder had doughty body, he shook and felt his limbs had gone numb as lightning wandered about his body. The super electric eel that was lurking in the sea had initiated a ferocious attack upon finding an opportune moment. This attack was fatal. The cyan robed leader was burned black to death. At that time, even more electric eels jumped out from the sea surface and landed on the armored warship and began attacking remaining soldiers. Soon, all the soldiers fell. This was an intense and short battle, but over 800 soldiers were completely wiped out. In the cabin, Tuoba Xiong no longer muttered in despair. He was already standing straight from an unknown time. As for the surviving slaves, they were excited and happy while looking at the scene before them in disbelief. And after they came back to their senses, they kneeled in front of Ye Chuan in fear and trepidation, waiting for their fate. They had personally seen the power of Ye Chuan¡¯s Yao Beast Legion, and their mind was shaken. Now, they felt grateful and deep fear for Ye Chuan. The vicious soldiers had abused them so much that they didn¡¯t dare to resist them, but they sincerely revered Ye Chuan. Being able to command over thousand Evil Eyed Cow Demons and summon a large number of ferocious electric eels, in their eyes, Ye Chuan who was just Rank 4 Daoist Master realm expert was not a heaven-defying expert rather even more terrifying expert that peak Daoist Master realm experts. ¡°All of you, get up, I don¡¯t need slaves, you all can leave now.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently instructed and putting away human-faced snakes, Evil Eyed Cow Demons and yao beasts into Cyan Lotus Lamp, he lowered his voice, ¡°Little Long¡¯er, quickly clean up the battlefield.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Little Long¡¯er bowed and received the order, then became busy with sea demon warrior Hai Dashan. Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t even take a glance at those corpses, he just walked to the front of Tuoba Xiong and asked, ¡°Your Excellency Sect Master, where is Xiaoniao now?¡± There was a lot of supplies, crystal stones and treasures in this armored warship. Moreover, the super electric eels had brought a lot of electric eels. This was good news, but Ye Chuan was most concerned about the whereabouts of Tuoba Xiaoniao at this moment. ¡°Bellowing Waves Island, it is 500 li away.¡± This time, Tuoba Xiong answered, but his tone was still dejected, ¡°That place is the largest island within the vicinity of a thousand li, and it is also the temporary campsite of the army. Moreover, Half-Sage realm Lord Qi personally take charge of that island. Ye Chuan, you are very powerful, much stronger than that time, but you are still not the opponent of Lord Qi. There is no way to save Xiaoniao, you should leave.¡± After personally seeing the counterattack of Ye Chuan, Tuoba Xiong was also shocked, but, thinking about the power of Lord Qi, he was still unable to cheer up. Even if he and Ye Chuan risk everything, he feared that they wouldn¡¯t even be enough to fill the gap of Lord Qi¡¯s teeth. Even if the powerful cultivation of Lord Qi was not considered, there were many other experts around him, moreover, he had a powerful army under his command, they could do nothing to him. ¡°Are Half-Sage realm experts so amazing and invincible?¡± Ye Chuan coldly said without fear, ¡°Sect Master, since you have already given up, you are a coward, but I will save Xiaoniao.¡± Ye Chuan looked down on dejected Tuoba Xiong and left. Then, standing on the deck, he looked at the vast sea, beginning to plan the next action plan. Chapter 451: Bellowing Waves Sec t On the deck, the cold wind was whistling. Looking up, one could see that it was almost dawn. Now, should he go to Bellowing Waves Island and forcibly save Xiaoniao, or¡­¡­ Ye Chuan silently stood still in the midst of cold wind. After learning the whereabouts of Tuoba Xiaoniao, he was very impatient. He couldn¡¯t wait to go to Bellowing Waves Island and save Tuoba Xiaoniao. But, reasons were telling him to not act recklessly. He might be unable to save Tuoba Xiaoniao and even he himself might be trapped. He had to save Tuoba Xiaoniao, but he must not be rash, he must consider the whole picture before making a move. Along with a light footstep, Little Long¡¯er came on the deck and walked towards Ye Chuan. He had a tray in his hand and there was a pile of messy things on that tray. There was a dagger glimmering with cold light, a sharp sword, and also an exquisite ring and arm guards. Each of these items emitted varied energy fluctuation. They were clearly not ordinary items. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, did you finish cleaning up the battlefield? It¡¯s so fast.¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised. He had thought that it would take at least three hours for Little Long¡¯er and Hai Dashan to completely clean up this battlefield, but to his surprise, Little Long¡¯er had completely the task so quickly. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s completely cleaned up, big brother Ye Chuan, these are the collected spoils of war. Please take a look at their quality.¡± Little Long¡¯er placed the tray in front of Ye Chuan. At this moment, although he was pretending to be calm, when all was said and done, he was still too young, he was unable to conceal his excitement. In this operation, not only they wiped out the enemy, they got many treasures too. Among them, there was a dagger he liked very much. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, you can take them for yourself.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said after scanning the treasures on the tray, then looked towards the horizon again. As a former Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he had seen too many first class treasures in his previous life. There were some pretty good items on the tray and Little Long¡¯er liked them so much, but for Ye Chuan, all of them were ordinary items. ¡°Okay, thank you, big brother Ye Chuan.¡± Little Long¡¯er excitedly put away the treasures, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even look up. Little Long¡¯er however was very happy, and his little face was filled with excitement. ¡°By the way, big brother Ye Chuan, how should we arrange those slaves?¡± ¡°What? They haven¡¯t left yet?¡± Ye Chuan turned around and looking at Little Long¡¯er with some surprise. In the cabin on the third floor, there were several boats. Although it was vast sea all around, they could leave taking those boats and not long after, they would easily encounter many small and big islands. Moreover, Ye Chuan already told those slaves that they were free to leave after wiping out the soldiers of this armored warship, so he thought that they had already left, but now he learned that the slaves unexpectedly hadn¡¯t left. Ye Chuan suddenly understand. Now, he knew the reason why Little Long¡¯er was able to clean up the battlefield so quickly. He asked, ¡°Little Long¡¯er, did those slaves help you clean up the battlefield?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The face of Little Long¡¯er became a bit red and said with some embarrassment, ¡°I also told them to leave on their own, but they discussed among themselves for a while, and all of them stayed behind under the leadership of that long haired youth and scrambled to help clean up the battlefield. And they also thoroughly cleaned the ship. In addition, that¡­¡­, that long haired youth wants to see you, big brother Ye Chuan, you see¡­¡­¡± Giving the report now seemed like reporting after acting first. Little Long¡¯er was somewhat embarrassed, but he secretly sympathized with those slaves, so he tried his best to help them. ¡°Call him over.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently instructed. He neither expressed an opinion nor blamed Little Long¡¯er. He just thought about that long haired youth who had taken the lead to rush towards those soldiers. ¡°Thank you, big brother Ye Chuan!¡± Little Long¡¯er happily thanked and left. Soon, he brought along that long haired youth. In the cabin, this long haired youth had stood first to revolt against those soldiers and faced death unflinchingly. But now, in front of Ye Chuan, he was somewhat shy and reserved. ¡°What is your name?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Li Dingxi.¡± The long haired youth answered with a clear voice. Ye Chuan carefully sized him up. This Li Dingxi was fair, his fingers were long and thin and he was tall. As for his cultivation, he was stronger than ordinary disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, he was at least Rank 1 Daoist Master realm. Moreover, he didn¡¯t resemble overseas loose cultivator, instead resembled a disciple of the sect who cultivated from childhood. ¡°Li Dingxi, good, this is a good name, you are not native to this area, are you?¡± ¡°Your Excellency has good judgment, I am indeed not native here. My ancestral home is in Wangjung of mainland, later, I migrate overseas with my uncle and joined Bellowing Waves Sect. I was the personal disciple of Great Elder there.¡± Li Dingxi respectfully answered. ¡°Bellowing Waves Sect?¡± Ye Chuan quickly thought of Bellowing Waves Island where the army of Da Qin Dynasty was stationed, ¡°Li Dingxi, what is the relation between your Bellowing Waves Sect and Bellowing Waves Island?¡± ¡°Bellowing Waves Island is the place where my Bellowing Waves Sect is located, merely, some time ago, a person who addressed himself as Lord Qi attacked and destroyed our sect. There were heavy casualties among our disciples. But, all the survivors were captured and turned into slaves to row their ships!¡± Li Dingxi said and paused, then he suddenly kneeled in front of Ye Chuan and knocking his head on the floor for nine times, he said, ¡°Your Excellency, aren¡¯t you going to Bellowing Waves Island to save a person? Please take me with you, I want to kill them all including that old fellow Lord Qi to avenge my fellow brothers! Your Excellency, help us!¡± ¡°Please help us, Your Excellency!¡± Numerous slaves came out one after another and knelt on the ice-cold deck. Just like Li Dingxi, they were also disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect. Although their cultivation was not particularly good, they were all fired up, wanting to take revenge. In the past, all of them worked hard regardless of criticism and immersed themselves in rowing the ship not daring to resist because they didn¡¯t see any hope and were frightened by the tyrannical abuse of soldiers. But now, the appearance of Ye Chuan made them see a glimmer of hope and the anger and blood in their heart boiled over. ¡°So that was the case.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. He finally understood why these slaves didn¡¯t leave. Then, he paused for a bit, he neither agreed nor declined, and indifferently said, ¡°The military power of the enemy is great, and allegedly, the commander of that army, Lord Qi is Half-Sage realm expert. And behind him, there is even greater reinforcement, aren¡¯t you all afraid? If you leave now, you can go anywhere you want, but if you all go to Bellowing Waves Island with me, then you all might never return.¡± ¡°Your Excellency, we are not afraid, if we were afraid then we wouldn¡¯t have stayed behind!¡± Li Dingxi answered and everyone behind him also echoed in succession. ¡°Very good, you all deserve praise for your courage, but just courage is far from being enough.¡± Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t agree. Regardless of the accompanying disciples of Cloud Mist Sect or Yao Beast Legion, they were especially brave. Now, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t lack numbers, he lacked experts. Just with a group of mediocre people, let alone much use, they might even implicate others. ¡°Your Excellency, we will not cause you trouble, although the overwhelming majority of surviving disciples are outer sect disciples with not particularly good cultivation base, there are also some inner sect experts that survived. They are scattered throughout many warships. As long as Your Excellency instruct us, we will immediately split up and get in touch with all the disciples in other warships and arrange to make a move together. Like that, even if we are unable to kill Lord Qi and recapture Bellowing Waves Island, we will at least inflict heavy damage to their army!¡± Li Dingxi looked at Ye Chuan and said without any fear of death. He was very determined and was waiting for the instruction of Ye Chuan. ¡°Li Dingxi, you mean, practically all armored ships have your people?¡± Ye Chuan asked. He appeared calm on the surface, but he was delighted in his heart. If Li Dingxi was speaking the truth, then he had a way to forcibly invade Bellowing Waves Island and save Tuoba Xiaoniao! Chapter 452: Rogue senior apprentice brother In the early morning when dawn had just arrived, the sea dragon boat was quietly docked at one nameless deserted island. Other than the people in guard duty, all others were resting and there were only the sounds of waves. In one white tent, Zhu Sijia was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Her complexion was somewhat wan and sallow. She was neither able to fall asleep nor cultivate at ease throughout the night. From the time when Ye Chuan had left to scout the situation, almost a night had passed, and Old demon of Mount Yin and others who had left with him had already returned, bringing back all kinds of information, only Ye Chuan¡¯s group was tardy, moreover, they had disappeared without any information. This made everyone worried. ¡°Sect ancestors, please protect Big Senior Apprentice Brother, let him return safely!¡± Zhu Sijia ignited sandalwood and prayed facing towards the direction of faraway Cloud Mist Sect. As the only granddaughter of Great Elder Zhu Guohong, she was leisurely and carefree from her childhood. She could have whatever she wished and everyone in the sect respected her. In those years, she was free and unfettered without any worries, she would laugh merrily or curse angrily to her heart¡¯s content. But, since Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan returned from mountains, her circumstance had slowly changed. In the beginning, she was so angry that she wanted to beat Ye Chuan to half-dead state, but slowly, at an unknown time, the shadow of Ye Chuan was engraved in her heart. In addition, she would get angry when she see Ye Chuan, but get worried when she couldn¡¯t see him. Mingled love and hate, persistently worrying in heart, was this love? Zhu Sijia muttered to herself, and thinking about the time she had spent together with Ye Chuan, sometimes, she got angry and sometimes, she felt sweet, then became anxious and worried. According to the information brought by Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, the army under Qing Tianhou was under the command of his very trusted subordinate Lord Qi, and now, the army was stationed at Bellowing Waves Island that was located just several hundred li away. In addition, that island was also close to the entrance of Lost City, the holy land of Sea Demon Clan. Furthermore, at this moment, the area within the radius of several hundred li was under the strict blockade of Qing Tianhou¡¯s troops which claimed to have full 200,000 soldiers. Although Ye Chuan was courageous and also cunning, the number of enemies was big, it was bad to carelessly expose their whereabouts. Zhu Sijia took out her flying sword and repeatedly wiped its blade while worrying about Ye Chuan in her heart. Since there was no trace and news of Ye Chuan, she naturally was somewhat unable to control herself. She thought to personally lead a squad to go search for Ye Chuan, but thinking about the consequences if they were noticed by the enemy, she had no choice but to reconsider. Without Ye Chuan, only she could command numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°Report¡­¡­¡± An on duty disciple of Cloud Mist Sect suddenly flew over and standing outside the tent, he bowed and said, ¡°Senior Apprentice sister Jiajia, bad news, an armored warship is heading towards this deserted island!¡± ¡°What?¡± Zhu Sijia stood up and hastily rushed out, ¡°Go, led me there.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The guard disciple of Cloud Mist Sect flew in the front and Zhu Sijia followed after him, quickly arriving at the coast. And after climbing on a tall rock, Zhu Sijia also saw an armored warship was heading straight towards this deserted island. From this distance, they could see soldiers with dazzling swords standing on the deck of that armored warship. If there was a tail-wind, then it might be possible that this armored warship had accidentally arrived here when patrolling, but since it was sailing so rapidly against the wind, it had clearly come prepared. Either that assassin Rain Demon had brought this armored warship as reinforcement after running away or their whereabouts was exposed when Old Demon of Mount Yin and others went out to gather intelligence, attracting this huge monster. ¡°Everyone, quickly board on the boat, we are leaving!¡± The complexion of Zhu Sijia was stretched taut as she ordered. A horn sound resounded and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect along with warriors of Sea Demon Clan rushed out from their tent in succession, but they had no time to pack up their things, they just hastily boarded the sea dragon boat. Sea Demon Patriarch personally activated the magic formation of the sea dragon boat, wanting to sail away before this armored warship arrived here. According to the intelligence reports, every armored warship was well-equipped and had well-trained elite soldiers along with ferocious giant crossbows. Moreover, if that armored warship collided against this sea dragon boat at full speed, then even this sea dragon boat might not necessarily be able to withstand that. But, what was even more frightening was, there were more armored warships cruising around the nearby sea area and once the reinforcement arrives, the sea dragon boat would be surrounded heavily and wouldn¡¯t be able to escape! Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t dare to fight in such situation and quickly ordered to retreat, but thinking about Ye Chuan, she felt ill at ease in her heart. The sea dragon boat moved and began to accelerate as the magic formation on the boat flashed. But, at the same time, the armored warship was also rushing over rapidly, moreover, it was getting faster and faster. ¡°Erect the heavy shield, quick!¡¯ ¡°Prepare Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, stand behind the erected heavy shield and prepare Dragon headed Flying Crossbows, don¡¯t let them approach!¡¯ Zhu Sijia hastily ordered and Sea Demon Patriarch also shouted. Regardless of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect or the warriors of Sea Demon Clan, all were nervous. No one knew how many soldiers were there in that armored warship and they also didn¡¯t know what kind of experts were there. If assassin Rain Demon had returned with several other experts of same level, then they were in deep trouble. They might be wiped out! ¡°Eh, stop, Miss Jiajia, look, who is that? Isn¡¯t that His Excellency Ye Chuan? Miss Jiajia, look!¡± Sharp-eyed Old Demon of Mount Yin suddenly exclaimed loudly. The speed of the sea dragon boat was fast, but when all was said and done, it was huge and it carried many supplies and people, so its speed didn¡¯t instantly reach maximum. It would take some time to reach the maximum speed from the static state, as a result, the two ships had gotten closer. And after the distance between them got closer, Zhu Sijia looked and sure enough, she saw a familiar figure on the deck of that armored warship. A young man was standing on the bow of the ship, he had a tall and straight stature, and he looked calm as if even if the world collapsed in the next moment, his heart would not ripple at all. Moreover, one couldn¡¯t tell that his face was very handsome, but he had a kind of unique aura, he was none other than Ye Chuan. ¡°Stop, quickly stop, it¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect got excited. They also recognized Ye Chuan who was standing on the deck of this armored warship and waved their hand while cheering. The two boats were still more than one kilometer away, but the figure of Ye Chuan was already engraved in the mind of people, so they quickly recognized him. Ye Chuan who was standing still on the deck of this armored warship suddenly moved. He jumped off the warship and strode towards the sea dragon boat as if a light feather. When he was roughly ten meters away from the sea dragon boat, he jumped onto the sea dragon boat, then hugged Zhu Sijia and said, ¡°Jiajia, I, Big Senior Apprentice Brother is back, did you miss me?¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, kiss her!¡± ¡°Kiss her, kiss her¡­¡­¡± The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect chanted loudly, and the warriors of Sea Demon Clan flowed the suit. Only Hai Lili walked to one side and secretly sighed with dejected complexion. Sea Demon Patriarch slightly raised his eyebrows observing the movement of Hai Lili, but said nothing and pretended to see nothing. Ye Chuan smirked evilly and pretended to truly want to kiss in public, but Zhu Sijia pushed him away and said, ¡°Presumptuous, who missed you!¡± Zhu Sijia who had always been unruly and shrewish was embarrassed at this moment and her beautiful face became bright red. Then, she glared at Ye Chuan pretending to be angry and ran into the cabin. ¡°I am going to have an intimate time with junior apprentice sister, no one is allowed to enter!¡± Ye Chuan quickly followed after Zhu Sijia with a bad smile. As for Zhu Sijia who had run into the cabin to hid, hearing the sound of footsteps, her face became even redder and she was so angry that she stamped her feet. Rogue was rogue, other people were sneaky and fear that others would learn their feelings, but Ye Chuan was afraid that no one would know his feelings, couldn¡¯t he quietly follow her? Zhu Sijia turned around and glared at Ye Chuan. This time she was truly angry. The words of just a moment ago made her so embarrassed that now she was too ashamed to face anyone else. Clearly, everything was Ye Chuan¡¯s fault, but it seemed that she had acted indecently. Chapter 453: Divide Forces After the false alarm, people were overjoyed. Not only Ye Chuan returned safely, but he also brought back an armored warship. This simply was incredibly exciting. The suppliers, weaponry and even accompanying disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect also made them excited. And especially Sea Demon Patriarch, he was unable to conceal his happiness as he became more and more confident in breaking through the blockade of Qing Tianhou and enter their holy land, Lost City. After some celebration, everyone continued to stay on that nameless deserted island, discussing about the next action plan. ¡°According to the various information gathered, Qing Tianhou didn¡¯t come to Overseas World in person, but the commanding expert is his number one trusted adviser, Lord Qi. And now, there are more than 200,000 soldiers laid out in the territorial waters nearby Lost City. Moreover, there are at least 200 armored warships, their power is very high.¡± Zhu Sijia took the lead to speak. Her complexion was solemn. According to the reports of scouts, the situation was much more serious than they had imagined. In order to monopolize Lost City and snatch all the treasures, Qing Tianhou had been planning and preparing for a long time. All the forces of nearby territorial waters, regardless of native residents or overseas cultivating sects, practically all of them were massacred overnight and those who survived were turned into slaves. And now, within the vicinity of several hundred li around Lost City, there were patrolling armored warships. Thus, relying on this sea dragon boat with unique design, no need to mention about entering Lost City, as long as they approached the nearby territorial waters, their whereabouts would be exposed, followed by ferocious attacks. Moreover, just like before, they had to face over 200,000 soldiers, but this time, the terrain was even more severe. Some time ago, when facing over 200,000 soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty, they were able to wait at their ease for an exhausted army, moreover, they fully utilized the familiar terrain of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and used lofty ridges and towering mountains as buffer zones to slowly nibble the morale and numbers of Da Qin Dynasty. But now, the situation was completely different, they were not familiar with nearby territorial waters, moreover, the army of Qing Tianhou was waiting at their ease for exhausted enemies. Although all the disciples here were the elites of Cloud Mist Sect, their number was limited, if one died, then they would lack one soldier. After considering all aspects, everyone came to the agreement that the terrain was very unfavorable for them. The complexion of Zhu Sijia was very serious. According to her view, they had less than 10% certainty of being able to break through the blockade of Qing Tianhou¡¯s army and enter the Lost City. Because of such probability, it was not worthwhile to take the risk. The complexion of others also sunk and became dejected. The excitement they felt due to the return of Ye Chuan quickly dispersed and was replaced by heavy pressure. ¡°Jiajia, continue, tell us all of your thoughts.¡± Ye Chuan said. His complexion was calm as he listened to the opinions of everyone. As a person of high position, this was the most basic requirement. Even if he already had a plan in his heart, he also should listen to the opinions of everyone and consider all aspects before making a move. But at the critical moment, it was necessary to advance bravely and take action quickly without acting willfully, otherwise, without proper control, one would be utterly isolated. Even before he became Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan already understood this principle. ¡°I think it is best to cancel this action and immediately return to the east sea or even return to Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Zhu Sijia paused and after looking at Sea Demon Patriarch for a bit, she looked at Ye Chuan and continued, ¡°But, if we truly have to make a move, then it is better to dispatch just an elite squad with minimum people to carry out the task. We should watch our chance under the cover of the seas and night to sneak into the Lost City. Moreover, it would be best to make a detour and avoid the Bellowing Waves Island in the front. We absolutely must not directly face the army stationed on that island!¡± The meaning of Zhu Sijia was clear, everyone should retreat for safety, but considering the feelings of Sea Demon Clan, she reluctantly proposed a compromise. As for letting all the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect take this risk, it was absolutely impossible, she resolutely opposed that.¡± ¡°Patriarch, what are your thoughts?¡± Ye Chuan looked towards Sea Demon Patriarch. This old man secretly sighed. Clearly, he was somewhat dejected and lost hope. But, according to the various intelligence reports, he knew that the enemy troops were truly too powerful, Zhu Sijia wasn¡¯t mistaken for behaving that way. He muttered to himself for a while and said, ¡°The suggestion of Miss Jiajia is pretty good, it is best to dispatch just an elite squad to take action. We can select the strongest people of both our Sea Demon Clan and your Cloud Mist Sect to form that elite squad.¡± With only the strongest people of both side participating in this action, there was a chance to be able to break into Lost City. As for whether they could complete the task of strengthening defensive restriction and take out Neptune¡¯s Horn, he could only leave that to the will of Heaven. After that, the gaze of everyone simultaneously turned to Ye Chuan. Zhu Sijia and Sea Demon Patriarch had already expressed their positions, they basically had same thoughts, now, only the order of Ye Chuan remained. Would he order to immediately withdraw far away from here or order everyone to fight and forcibly breakthrough the blockade of this Qing Tianhou¡¯s army or just dispatch an elite squad to take action? Everyone nervously stared at Ye Chuan without blinking their eyes. This was a very difficult choice. The decision of Ye Chuan influenced the success and failure of this action and even the life and death of everyone. Ye Chuan remained silent, clearly, he was in a dilemma. After a long time, Ye Chuan scanned everyone and finally broke the silence. He said, ¡°Well, let¡¯s go with what Zhu Sijia and Patriarch has suggested, just dispatch an elite squad. Now, I will give assignments for everyone. Jiajia, you will stay behind and guard this basecamp. If the elite squad didn¡¯t return even after a month or there is no news from the elite squad when on the way, immediately leave the sea and return to Cloud Mist Sect with everyone. Thereafter, Nan Tiandu will be Big Senior Apprentice Brother, and everyone will heed his orders!¡± Ye Chuan lowered his voice as he made arrangements. Although Zhu Sijia was good at organizing and commanding, she was ultimately a woman. If something happened to him, then only Nan Tiandu who had stayed behind in the sect is capable to bear this heavy responsibility. ¡°Yes!¡± Zhu Siji looked worried but still accepted the order. She wished to change the mind of Ye Chuan, but considering the situation as a whole, she couldn¡¯t do so. ¡°Abasi, you will be responsible to protect Miss Jiajia and also guard this basecamp.¡± Ye Chuan looked at Abasi and said. ¡°This subordinate obey your command!¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi bowed and accepted the order. He innately feared water, so staying behind to protect the basecamp of this nameless deserted island was best for him. Ye Chuan looked around the crowd and his eyes rested on Old Demon of Mount Yin and said, ¡°Rhodes, you will led the elite squad along with His Excellency Patriarch. Your task is to forcibly enter the Lost City. But, remember, if things didn¡¯t work out, no need to risk your life.¡± ¡°This subordinate obey your command, but, Your¡­¡­, Your Excellency, then what about you?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin curiously asked Ye Chuan. Leading the elite squad to take action, this was no problem, he had always loved to take risks and massacre. Merely, he was unable to understand one thing. He thought that Ye Chuan would personally lead this elite squad, but now that that heavy responsibility was given to him, what about Ye Chuan? He wouldn¡¯t stay in the basecamp and also wouldn¡¯t join the elite squad, what does he want to do? Could it be that there was something even more dangerous and important? ¡°Yes, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what about you?¡± Zhu Sijia also asked. She was also similarly confused, moreover, she vaguely had a very bad feeling. ¡°I will help you all draw away the army of Qing Tianhou. Well, it¡¯s decided like this, everyone will do their duty, we will take action after three days!¡± Ye Chuan just smiled and left. After thinking for a bit, he decided to not speak out his real plan. If he let them know that not only he wanted to draw away the army but he also wanted to kill experts of Bellowing Waves Island, then everyone would definitely consider him a madman! Little Long¡¯er looked at startled Zhu Sijia and again looked at confused everyone. He slightly opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. Among the people present here, only he knew the true thoughts of Ye Chuan. Other people didn¡¯t even think about trying to slaughter Bellowing Waves Island, but no matter how dangerous and difficult that was, Little Long¡¯er wouldn¡¯t frown, wherever Ye Chuan goes, he would go there. After his grandfather died in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, Little Long¡¯er considered Ye Chuan as his sole relative and vowed to follow him. Chapter 454: Dare to love, dare to hate Ye Chuan stood up and left, increasing his speed. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia quickly chased after him. Ye Chuan pretended to not hear and increased his speed, walking towards a remote and uninhabited beach. ¡°Ye Chuan, stop for me!¡± Zhu Sijia was furious. She stepped on her flying sword and flew over rapidly and landing in front of Ye Chuan, she blocked his path. Then, she ferociously glared at Ye Chuan in anger. Perhaps, she was angry or perhaps, due to hastily chasing after him, her bosom was rising and falling rapidly, making others worried that they might burst out of her clothing. Ye Chuan secretly sighed and looked at Zhu Sijia in front of him. He appeared somewhat stunned and then, he quickly put on a bad smile and said, ¡°What, junior apprentice sister, did you call me? Are you bored with getting intimate in the room and want to get intimate in the beach to try out the new environment¡­¡­¡± ¡°So hateful, who wants to get intimate with you?¡± Zhu Sijia was embarrassed and also angry, but, immediately after that, she pulled a long face and said, ¡°Don¡¯t act dumb, tell me, what exactly you want to do?¡± Unexpectedly, Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t be leading the elite squad to break into the Lost City, instead, he said that he would draw away the army, this was too strange. Average people might be deceived by Ye Chuan¡¯s sincere appearance, but Zhu Sijia would never believe that he didn¡¯t have other plans. She sensed something peculiar with that plan and the more she thought, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she restlessly chased after Ye Chuan. ¡°As a matter of fact, the most dangerous aspect of this action is not Lost City, rather the army and experts under Qing Tianhou. Abasi innately fears water, Rhodes isn¡¯t good at power play, so, I have to draw them away in person. If the army and experts under Qing Tianhou are drawn away, then we can consider this operation half-success!¡± Ye Chuan replied with honest and sincere expression. ¡°That is also true, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, only you can truly do this task!¡± Zhu Sijia sneered and looked at Ye Chuan with not-believing eyes. Then, she hatefully glared at Ye Chuan and tears appeared in her eyes as she said, ¡°Ye Chuan, you liar, you rogue, you still want to deceive me? Speak, what are you going to do?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan remained silent. There was an ancient saying that women with big boobs had no brain, now he understood that this was completely wrong. He had tried the best method and reason, but he was still unable to deceive Zhu Sijia. It seemed that the ancients who said that women with big boobs had no brain were either blind or the people who couldn¡¯t obtain the favor of women, so they were saying grapes were sour when they couldn¡¯t eat them. ¡°Ye Chuan, will you tell me or not?¡± Zhu Sijia said aggressively but her eyes were bright red and tears threatened to flow out. ¡°Fine, I will speak.¡¯ Ye Chuan was helpless, Zhu Sijia had shrewish temperament, if he didn¡¯t tell her, then he truly didn¡¯t know what she would do in her impulse. Ye Chuan sighed and said, ¡°Jiajia, do you still remember Tuoba Xiaoniao, the female disciple of Black Cauldron Sect?¡± ¡°Of course, I remember, she is the beloved daughter of Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong, moreover, you kept calling her wifey in the past.¡± Zhu Sijia nodded her head and asked in confusion, ¡°Didn¡¯t she go out to the sea with Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong? Could it be that she¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia vaguely understood what was going on. She had been with Ye Chuan for a very long time, she loved and also hated him. She perfectly knew the character of Ye Chuan. When he was low-key, he would be very low-key, he could even squat down and tie the shoelaces of odd-job man, but when he was high-key, he would be very high-key, he would even slap the face of a Sect Master. Moreover, he was very ruthless to his enemies, he would kill them without any trace of emotion, but towards his followers, especially the sweethearts in his heart, he had boundless tenderness. ¡°This time, when I go out to scout the circumstances, I met Black Cauldron Sect¡¯s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong.¡± Ye Chuan lowered his voice. ¡°Ah¡­¡­ what happened to Sect Master Tuoba? Is he injured?¡± Zhu Sijia asked closely. ¡°He isn¡¯t, merely, he has become a useless person and he has given himself up as hopeless. He was captured by the soldiers under Qing Tianhou and was serving as the salve for rowing.¡± Ye Chuan paused and faintly said, ¡°It is not frightening to forcibly become a slave, becoming accustomed to being a slave and become a person without a backbone is more frightening.¡± Towards dispirited Tuoba Xiong, Ye Chuan lamented for his misfortune but was angry for not struggling. In the past when he was still commanding Black Cauldron Sect, he was overbearing and proud, but he had the demeanor of the leader, making people respect and revere him. But, what about now? He had degenerated to this appearance. Even though his only daughter was snatched away by other people, he was holing up in that cabin becoming a coolie, moreover, he didn¡¯t dare to go and save her even though he was given a chance. ¡°Then, what about Tuoba Xiaoniao? Was she also in dire straits with him? Where is she now?¡± Zhu Sijia asked. ¡°According to Tuoba Xiong, Tuoba Xiaoniao was also captured, and now, she is locked up in Bellowing Waves Island.¡± The voice of Ye Chuan was low, he paused for a bit and added, ¡°Tuoba Xiong has already given up his life, he is thoroughly down and out, but, I believe that Tuoba Xiaoniao will not give up on herself.¡± Ye Chuan recalled that gentle and delicate figure of Tuoba Xiaoniao. Similarly coming from a distinguished sect, Zhu Sijia was unruly and shrewish. She dared to do whatever she liked. She could consider the situation as a whole and grasped major matters of principle, but she also dared to love and hate. Tuoba Xiaoniao however was almost exactly the opposite. She was gentle and delicate endearing little bird. She had tender feelings like water, but, she was outwardly yielding but inwardly firm. Although she looked delicate on the surface, her heart was firm. Ye Chuan believed that she would not give up on herself like Tuoba Xiong! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, as it turned out you truly have another purpose.¡± Now, Zhu Sijia finally understood the true purpose of Ye Chuan. Drawing away the army and experts under Qing Tianhou was just a pretext, forcibly entering Bellowing Waves Island and saving a person was his true goal. There were many treasures in Lost City, but for Ye Chuan, saving a person was more important. In order to save Tuoba Xiaoniao, he was willing to face dangers and risk his life! After getting along for such a long time, Zhu Sijia already knew the temperament of Ye Chuan like the palm of her hand, so she didn¡¯t oppose him. She just became pale and her heart felt heavy. She didn¡¯t need to think much, she knew perfectly well what kind of place the current Bellowing Waves Island was. It truly was a dragon¡¯s pool and tiger¡¯s den, was the supreme headquarter of Qing Tianhou¡¯s army. Even if Ye Chuan had three heads and six arms, she feared that entering into that island was just a mouth darting into a flame. If she could, then Zhu Sijia preferred Ye Chuan leading the elite squad rather than drawing away the experts and soldiers under Qing Tianhou. Like that, it was comparatively less dangerous. A sparkling and crystal-clear teardrop quietly flowed down the cheek of Zhu Sijia. Because she understood, she didn¡¯t know how to dissuade Ye Chuan. She could only watch Ye Chuan jumping into a fiery pit helplessly. But, how could she do that? Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t speak, Ye Chuan also remained silent. Seeing the current appearance of Zhu Sijia, he felt very sad in his heart, but, he must go to save Tuoba Xiaoniao. He had already decided and will not change that decision. But, Zhu Sijia couldn¡¯t bear to see him going to court death, similarly, she also couldn¡¯t be hard-hearted enough to not save and let Tuoba Xiaoniao fall into others hand. ¡°Ye Chuan, you have already decided, but must you go to Bellowing Waves Island to save her?¡± After a long time, Zhu Sijia wiped the tears off her face and took the initiative to break this silence and asked. ¡°Yes, at all costs.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and said, ¡°Jiajia, what would you do if my cultivation was destroyed and imprisoned?¡± ¡°Do you need to ask?¡± Zhu Sijia understood and no longer tried to dissuade Ye Chuan to cancel this operation. She just racked her brains to think, wanting to use all her efforts to help Ye Chuan. Even if she could increase a bit of certainty, perhaps, that might be very crucial. ¡°Protecting yourself is the greatest help to me, Jiajia, if I¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan wanted to tell Zhu Sijia what to do if something unexpected happened, but he saw Zhu Sijia bursting out in tears again, so he immediately stopped and forcibly changed the topic and said with a smile, ¡°Jiajia, it¡¯s fine, I am completely prepared for this operation, I have already thought of a way to deal with them. Come, mix these things like me, whether we can inflict heavy damage on the army of Qing Tianhou and save Tuoba Xiaoniao depends on this trump card!¡± Ye Chuan allowed no explanation and suddenly pulled the little hand of Zhu Sijia and darted into the sea dragon boat. And Zhu Sijia who originally was worried suddenly became confused, and seeing Ye Chuan didn¡¯t seem to be deceiving her, a gleam of hope appeared in her mind. Chapter 455: Five Step Fragrance On the sea dragon boat, Ye Chuan quickly pulled Zhu Sijia into a secret room. Upon seeing this, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect ducked to one side. The warriors of Sea Demon Clan also tactfully walked away. And at that time, the long haired youth, Li Dingzi, returned from the sea along with the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect and offered coral reefs and items brought back from nearby nameless deserted islands. When the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and the warriors of Sea Demon Clan were celebrating the triumphant return of Ye Chuan, these disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect however had split to take action and brought back the things Ye Chuan needed. Ye Chuan took out a big pill furnace and circulated the energy within his body. Slowly, the temperature ice-cold pill furnace rose. After the pill furnace became hot, Ye Chuan poured in a bottle of spring water and after the spring water boiled, he began to add a specific amount of sticky and thick tree sap, dark red blood and a number of things others couldn¡¯t recognize. And finally, he added musk. Immediately after that, a fragrance slowly spread throughout the air. This fragrance was very alluring, but the liquid inside the pill furnace was getting more and more sticky and thicker. Ye Chuan was very carefully, he didn¡¯t dare to let even a drop of this liquid splash out of this pill furnace. After a while, he added a bottle of spring water, then various kinds of medicinal herbs and so on. Zhu Sijia stood at one side and worked as an assistant for Ye Chuan while carefully observing the process and technique of Ye Chuan. Cloud Mist Sect had always been famous for growing medicinal herbs and refining pills. Among the younger generation disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, her attainment in making pills already stood out from her peers. Usually, she liked to browse through all kinds of books related to making pills after cultivating. Thus, she was well versed in many alchemy techniques, but now, she was unable to make sense of the technique of Ye Chuan. Almost an hour had already passed, but she unexpectedly wasn¡¯t able to tell what Ye Chuan wanted to refine. Was that liquid in the pill furnace some kind of poison? But, Ye Chuan was not afraid of this smell spreading out, so that didn¡¯t seem to be the case; it looked like he was refining a good wine, but Ye Chuan was so careful that he didn¡¯t dare to let even a drop splash out of the pill furnace and his movement was very careful, so that also didn¡¯t seem to be the case. The more Zhu Sijia watched, the more confused she became. In the end, she couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what exactly is this?¡± ¡°Wine, a kind of good wine that has long been lost in Wilderness World, Five Step Fragrance.¡± After throwing in the final batch of medicinal herbs in the pill furnace, Ye Chuan carefully stirred it for a while and then covered it. In addition, he increased the energy he was injecting in the pill furnace, and the pill furnace became boiling hot. Very soon, a dene smell floated out from the pill furnace. Just smelling a bit, one would feel as if they were intoxicated. The spring water poured into the pill furnace was nothing special, it was just ordinary water. The real mystery lied in the sap of sea parasol tree, the blood of sea snakehead fish and other numerous things ordinary people couldn¡¯t recognize. Of course, the refining technique was also crucial. Even using the same pill furnace and same kind of materials, if another person refines, then the end product would very likely be completely different. Smelling the dense smell spread throughout the air, Ye Chuan became even more prudent and he concentrated on controlling the heat. He first refined it in burning hot temperature for an hour, then he used gentle fire to slowly stew for three full hours. Then, he let this pill furnace cool down. Now, that intoxicating smell had already dispersed, leaving behind only a faint alcoholic fragrance. Opening the lid, one could see that the pill furnace was filled with light yellow colored liquid. It looked somewhat like yellow rice wine, but the taste was clearly different. ¡°This¡­.., Big Senior Apprentice Brother, is this the Five Step Fragrance you spoke about?¡± Zhu Sijia was puzzled. The liquid in the pill furnace truly didn¡¯t appear anything peculiar, it was just like an ordinary wine. It was completely unworthy of the elegant name Five Step Fragrance. ¡°Yes, this is Five Step Fragrance, good wine to kill without spilling blood, poisonous good wine. After drinking it, even Daoist Master realm expert will certainly die after five steps!¡± Ye Chuan carefully scooped out a bit of this wine with a long wooden ladle, then dripped a few drops on a piece of iron plate. Immediately after that, along with a hissing sound, smoke curled up from it and holes appeared on it. The complexion of Zhu Sijia greatly changed and was terrified. Even an iron plate was corroded, if this wine was drunk, wouldn¡¯t all internal organs be corroded into a pool of blood? Not to mention Daoist Master realm experts, even Half-Sage realm expert might die after accidentally drinking it! This was not wine, this truly was a strong poison! The heart of Zhu Sijia shook. Now, she roughly understood what Ye Chuan wanted to do. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, are you thinking of sending someone to infiltrate and make the soldiers and experts under Qing Tianhou drink this Five Step Fragrance?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that is the plan, but, this is just the first step.¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°If we are able to poison Lord Qi, Rain Demon and other experts under Qing Tainhou, then that naturally would be the best. But, allegedly, the number trusted subordinate of Qing Tianhou, Lord Qi, not only has high cultivation base, but he also has over suspicious temperament. It is not that easy to make him drink this Five Step Fragrance and poison him. In fact, the main reason for refining this Five Step Fragrance is for the second step.¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, are you going to use this Five Step Fragrance to corrode the bottom of their armored warships?¡± The eyes of Zhu Sijia shone, suddenly understanding the true purpose of Ye Chuan. The Five Step Fragrance was very corrosive. Just a few drops could corrode several holes on an iron plate, and it just so happened that the armored warships under Qing Tianhou were forged with pig iron. Although it seemed sturdy, if it came across this Five Step Fragrance, wouldn¡¯t it¡­¡­ ¡°Correct, I want to use this Five Step Fragrance on those armored warships and create chaos, moreover, I have already found people to coordinate with this plan. Practically all armored warships have the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect, and this Bellowing Waves Sect was destroyed by the army under Qing Tianhou.¡± Since he had already told this much, Ye Chuan no longer hid and told his action plan to Zhu Sijia, and added after a pause, ¡°In this battle, the army under Qing Tianhou will definitely suffer heavy causalities. Jiajia, now, do you still want to stop me?¡± ¡°Senior Apprentice Brother, prepare yourself, although this Five Step Fragrance is very powerful, you still need to be careful.¡± Speaking about the upcoming battle, Zhu Sijia was careful and looked worried. With this terrifying Five Step Fragrance, there indeed was hope to inflict heavy damage to the armored fleet under Qing Tianhou, but rushing into Bellowing Island and saving a person was another matter. ¡°I will be careful, Jiajia, rest assured. By the way, did you memorized the technique to refine Five Step Fragrance?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Yes, I memorized.¡± Zhu Sijia nodded her head. Her memory had always been very good, and especially since this was a pill refining technique she had never seen before, she had memorized it. ¡°Good, then I will enter seclusion to cultivate. Here, I am giving you this. But, remember, don¡¯t let even a drop of this Five Step Fragrance splash on you. And finally, after refining it, it is useless to use ordinary things to store it, use these special sea gourds.¡± Ye Chuan instructed and left, then sitting cross-legged in another secret room, he began to cultivate and store up energy to be fully prepared for the upcoming fierce battle. Chapter 456: Forbidden area After sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ye Chuan quickly discarded the miscellaneous thoughts. It was useless to regret for the matter of the past, no one could rewrite it. As for the matter of the future, even if one could already foresee, when all was said and done, it has yet to happen. So, it was most important to cherish the present. The matters done in the present would determine success or failure. There was a saying in ancient Buddhist Sects, see a mountain as mountain, see water as water, with the same principle, one should do whatever needs to be done, it is useless to think more. In the aspect of cultivation, now Ye Chuan was only Rank 4 Daoist Master, far inferior to Old Demon of Mount Yi and others, he couldn¡¯t be considered a real top-notch expert, but in the aspect of mental state, even half-Sage realm Plague Archfiend Abasi was far inferior to him. The experience of his previous life had tempered the mental state of Ye Chuan greatly. This was the greatest capital after his reincarnation. A pure worldly spiritual qi in the air continuously gathered and quickly, a faint spiritual qi vortex appeared in the sky above the sea dragon boat, drawing all the worldly spiritual qi within the radius of one kilometer. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and the warriors of Sea Demon warriors who had been traveling together were already accustomed to this sight. When they saw this spiritual qi vortex in the sky, they knew that Ye Chuan had again begun to cultivate in seclusion, so they didn¡¯t dare to be loud and got busy with their task. Some people were renovating the sea dragon boat and captured armored warship. Some people had come over to help Zhu Siji as assistants. Some had gone out to the sea again to scout the circumstances. And there were also some who had entered seclusion cultivation like Ye Chuan to prepare for the upcoming battle. Ye Chuan sat cross-legged in the secret room. He was cultivating calmly, but Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body were seething while emitting majestic energy fluctuation. One Heaven Swallowing Talisman gave him the strength of 18,000 jin, with nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans together, he could erupt out with 162,000 jin strength. If he made a breakthrough again and have ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans, then¡­ Ye Chuan circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and attacked his bottleneck, wanting to breakthrough and obtain even more power. In his previous like when he had dominated Wilderness World, he was somewhat lonely at the top. Although he cultivated, he didn¡¯t have such a strong longing for power. But, in this life, it was different. He had to restart everything from scratch, and the enemies he encountered were getting stronger and stronger. Thus, he longed from even more power. Especially this time, perhaps, the enemy was even stronger than State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. A slight carelessness and let alone saving Tuoba Xiaoniao, even he might lose his life. Rushing in without strength was just like a moth daring into a flame! In front of Zhu Sijia, Ye Chuan pretended to have a well-thought-out plan, and looked calm and confident in front of others, but Ye Chuan was also somewhat nervous and worried in his heart. The current Bellowing Waves Island was the nest of experts, it was already hard enough to deal with the assassin Rain Demon alone, Ye Chuan also wasn¡¯t confident in intruding and saving a person. The Five Step Fragrance was very powerful, if his plan went well, then he would inflict heavy damage to the experts and army under Qing Tianhou, but if the enemy was not fooled or something unexpected happened, then what? The heart of Ye Chuan was very heavy and he was feeling unprecedented pressure. Even more worldly spiritual qi rapidly gathered and the spiritual qi vortex in the sky above the sea dragon boat become bigger and bigger. Ye Chuan forcibly attacked his bottleneck again and again, longing to make a breakthrough before the fierce battle, unfortunately, even after several hours, there was no change. Now, let alone condensing a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman, he couldn¡¯t even condense a new qi cyclone within his body. In cultivation, one needed to cultivate bitterly and be well prepared as well as also need luck. One couldn¡¯t reach the pinnacle by just blindly cultivating like a mad. Ye Chuan sighed inwardly and understood that this matter couldn¡¯t be forced and slowly opened his eyes. Crash, the sound of sea waves came from outside and the sea dragon boat floated up and done. In the compartment next door, Zhu Sijia and Little Long¡¯er were talking. They were also busy refining more Five Step Fragrance. Little Long¡¯er was not the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect and didn¡¯t have the foundation of making pills, but he was clever and didn¡¯t fear hardship, quickly becoming the assistant of Zhu Sijia. His divine dense spread further, and the voices of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and the warriors of Sea Demon Clan and their busy footsteps resounded in his ears. He even saw Sea Demon Patriarch personally busily bustling about to check the weapons of warriors. Now, on the nameless deserted island, the sea demon warriors and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had come together to form an elite squad. And under the leadership of Old Demon of Mount Yin, they were training to attack and defend together along with battle formations as being familiar with each other¡¯s temperament and specialty would increase the collective power of the group. On the eve of the battle, everyone was tensely preparing for the war. The elite squad to forcibly burst into the Lost City was already prepared and were training, but what about the army and experts under Qing Tianhou? With a thought, Cyan Lotus Lamp appeared. And under the faint illumination of cyan light, a warm current flowed within the body of Ye Chuan. Then, Ye Chuan closed his eyes again and sat still, but his spirit pulsated and suddenly jumped out of his body and flew into the sky. The water was yin in nature, the vast sea was the place with even more yin, moreover, evil spirit ran amuck here and the weather was also unpredictable. General, even a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert wouldn¡¯t dare to easily let out his spirit in Overseas World as no matter how careful one was, the slightest carelessness might heavily damage the spirit and turn one into a vegetable. Moreover, if the spirit encountered sinister and vicious evil spirits of sea or overseas loose cultivators, then it would be even more troublesome, they would absorb the spirit and use it as a tonic. Ye Chuan was very clear about the danger this time, but he let out his spirit without any hesitation. His spirit circled a lap around the sky, then flew straight towards Bellowing Waves Island that was several hundred li away. The war was about to commence, although many spies had gone out to scout circumstances ahead, he was still not assured, he wanted to inspect the circumstances of Bellowing Waves Island and nearby territorial waters in person. After breaking through to Rank 4 Daoist Master realm and condensing nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans, the means of Ye Chuan had become more and more sophisticated. His spirit didn¡¯t attract the attention of anyone. Zhu Sijia who was refining Five Step Fragrance suddenly felt her spirit jumping and vaguely sensed something, but didn¡¯t care about it. Only the complexion of Plague Archfiend Abasi who was sitting in one cabin changed a little and muttering something, he used a profound technique. The spirit of Ye Chuan rapidly advanced all the way riding the wind. Not long after, he saw an armored warship. Like the previous armored ship, there were more than 800 soldiers in that ship. Most of them stood neatly on the deck emitting dense killing intent. They were making a show of their strength in this vast sea, frightening other forces that were spying this sea area. In the lowest floor of this armored ship, many slaves were imprisoned. And under the whipping of guards, they were putting for their strength to row this huge ship while sweating. This huge armored warship rapidly sailed through the sea like a huge seabird. The spirit of Ye Chuan paused for a bit, then advanced forward. But, after a while, his spirit suddenly entered a strange area. There was no rain and there were no dark clouds in the sky, but there was rolling thunder in the sky. A clap of thunder exploded almost everywhere in this place. Those armored ships that were sailing on the sea surface seemed to be completely unaffected, his spirit felt uncomfortable and every clap of thunder shook his spirit. Not good, this is the power of restriction, especially targeting invisible spirits! This is a forbidden area that strictly forbids spirits! Ye Chuan was shocked, but he reacted quickly, knowing that he had unwittingly entered a forbidden area. Chapter 457: Divine Thunder Formation The spirit of Ye Chuan suddenly jumped up and no longer rode the wind forward, rather like a dancing fairy, his spirit danced on the edge of a blade, dodging the thunder exploding the air. Rank 4 Daoist Master realm, this cultivation base was far inferior to his prime when he concealed the heaven, but compared to when he had just freed himself out of God Burial Valley and joined Cloud Mist Sect, it was much better. Now, he could use some techniques and means of the past. Demonic Steps, he was now displaying the might of this technique. This was a technique he had seized after beheading a demon of an ancient ominous domain. This technique was especially useful in close combat as it was very helpful in dodging the attack of the enemy and in suddenly closing near and initiating a deadly counterattack. On the surface, this technique was somewhat similar to Peerless Style Technique, but the movement distance was very limited. He could only move around within the radius of three meters to dodge, but the speed was much faster and consumed a lot of energy. It was already hard to use this technique, using this technique only with spirit was even harder, he was unable to display the full power of this technique. Just Rank 4 Daoist Master realm cultivation base was far from being sufficient. On the sea surface, it was still calm and tranquil, the armored warship was continuously sailing through the sea waves and the soldiers standing on the deck were entirely unaware of the circumstance high above. In the high altitude, Ye Chuan was beset by perils. But, that terrifying thunder seemed to exist only within a certain region. Moreover, sounds also couldn¡¯t pass through this area. That formation seemed to be specially set up to attack any spirit that drew near the forbidden area. The spirit of Ye Chuan moved around faster and faster as he deliberately lowered the altitude and drew near the sea surface, hoping to break free from the binding and attack of the restriction. But, soon, he discovered that the resistance was getting bigger and bigger. It was quite easy to enter this restriction, but it was much harder to exit. ¡°Your Excellency, come with me!¡± A voice suddenly resounded in the spirit of Ye Chuan and a vague vortex appeared in the air with dark red flame occasionally circulating in it, then it vaguely condensed into a three eyed-toad appearance. ¡°Abasi!¡± Beyond the expectation of Ye Chuan, Plague Archfiend Abasi had let out his spirit and followed him. Boom! A muffled clap of thunder resounded. The dark red flame around Abasi suddenly rose and wrapped around Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit, then swiftly led forward. Immediately after that, the pressure felt by Ye Chuan decreased a lot. Plague Archfiend Abasi who was similarly in spirit form had completely different means from Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan used Demonic Steps to move about while dodging but his energy was consumed rapidly and it was getting harder and harder to struggle free from this restriction. As for Plague Archfiend Abasi, he was using brute force relying on his powerful strength. The spirit of two people advanced forward at full speed under the bombardment of thunders. After a little while, they two were finally able to rush out of this restriction. Turning back to look, they saw that there was nothing, not even a trace of the restriction and they also couldn¡¯t hear those thunderclaps, seemingly, inside and outside that restriction were two completely different worlds. ¡°Amazing, what is this technique? Is Qing Tianhou this heaven-defying, using this kind of restriction to block the sea area within the radius of several hundred li?¡± The countenance of Ye Chuan changed as his spirit condensed into a several inches small man. When a person was in Wuzhe or Xiushi realm, even if he luckily let out his spirit, he would be unable to condense into a form and also wouldn¡¯t be able to use any technique, thus, he wouldn¡¯t have any means to protect himself if he encountered any danger. But, it is different once he breakthrough to Daoist Master realm. He could use various kinds of techniques dedicated to spirits and also could condense into a form. And once he breakthrough to Half-Sage realm or higher, he could even condense an exact copy of himself, or fusing with yao beast or magic weapon, he can refine a second avatar. Plague Archfiend Abasi spirit had the vague appearance of the second avatar. ¡°In the Outer World, this is known as Divine Thunder Formation. It is especially used to block off some places and strictly prevent spirits from prying about. Usually, this formation appears in some ancient paradise realms or in the vicinity of sects¡¯ gate.¡± Plague Archfiend paused and continued, ¡°As for whether Qing Tianhou has the ability to set up this formation or not, I don¡¯t know now, but, as I see it, this Divine Thunder Formation doesn¡¯t seem to be set up recently, I feel like it has a long history, moreover, this restriction has already become weaker, otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t have escaped so easily.¡± ¡°In other words, this is the restriction of the holy land of Sea Demon Clan?¡± Ye Chuan muttered. For this trip, Ye Chuan had two objectives. On one hand, he wanted to personally take a look at the circumstance of Bellowing Waves Island, and on the other hand, he also wanted to look where the entrance of Lost City was located. A racial holy land of an ancient race, what kind of history did it possess and what kind of treasures were sealed inside? Ye Chuan was also curious about this ancient racial holy land. Even in his past life, before he had become the Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he loved to explore this kind of places. Although the risk was great, the harvest was also amazing. It was not certain that one would obtain treasures every time, but exploring this kind of places, one could gain different experiences. Sometime, standing at the ancient historical remains and witnessing the vicissitudes of history, one could suddenly get enlightenment and breakthrough the bottleneck that one might be stuck for thousands of years. Such benefits were much greater than obtaining treasures! Unfortunately, although the holy land of Sea Demon Clan was good, Ye Chuan had no way to get in. Moreover, now, it was more important to save people. Even if missed the opportunity to enter this holy land of Sea Demon Clan this time, at worst, he just needed to wait another hundred years and come back to explore. But, if he didn¡¯t save Tuoba Xiaoniao now, then he would regret for his lifetime. ¡°Yes, this should be the restriction in the periphery of Lost City. Your Excellency, look, the center of that whirlpool that resembles a big ear, it is very likely to be the entrance to Lost City.¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi pointed towards the distant sea area, and following his direction, Ye Chuan saw a huge whirlpool with the radius of roughly a hundred li on the sea surface. If it wasn¡¯t for them being in high altitude, they wouldn¡¯t have seen it. On the vast sea, there were many whirlpools, but a whirlpool with roughly the radius of a hundred li, that was unheard of. What was even stranger was that whirlpool had a peculiar shape. It was just like a carbon copy of human ear, merely, it was countless times bigger. The outline, cartilage and earlobe could be seen clearly. And right in the middle of this ear, there was an emerald green island. According to the reports of scouts, clearly, that was Bellowing Waves Island where the army under Qing Tianhou was stationed. Looking from far away, there was whirlpool just outside the island, and at first glance, it appeared as if countless sea waves were rising and falling from the bottom of the sea, forming this unique huge whirlpool. ¡°Bellowing Waves Island, this is the so-called Bellowing Waves Island¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself, even he who had seen all kinds of wonders was shaken at this moment upon seeing that big ear-shaped whirlpool and Bellowing Waves Island at the center. Every place that gave birth to an ancient race was bound to be a holy place that had extraordinary power and glorious past! Ye Chuan got agitated and his spirit pulsated as the thoughts of immediately rushing in and exploring this holy land appeared in his mind. Chapter 458: You are getting married tonigh t Lost City, this ancient racial holy land was full of unknowns and opportunities. If he went in, then he might obtain some fortunes and make a breakthrough and condense tenth Heaven Swallowing Talisman. But, after thinking again, even though Ye Chuan was excited, he didn¡¯t dare to seriously rush into the Lost City to explore. On the one hand, it was more important to save Tuoba Xiaoniao, and on the other hand, Lost City was very dangerous, recklessly rushing in in this spirit form without any preparation was just courting death. He wouldn¡¯t even know how he died. Even in the periphery of Lost City, there was Divine Thunder Formation, this kind of ancient restriction, the closer to the entrance of Lost City, there might be more restrictions which were even more powerful. Ye Chuan calmed down sensing many powerful energy fluctuations. Inside and outside Lost City, there were many ancient restrictions, even that vast big ear-shaped whirlpool itself was also a restriction. It had not occurred naturally, rather someone had used a heaven-defying technique to create it. No one knows what would happen if this huge ancient restriction was triggered accidentally. Then, looking at armored warships cruising on the sea surface, Ye Chuan suddenly had a thought. This time, Qing Tianhou had sealed off the sea area nearby the entrance of Lost City in a domineering manner. The main objective for this was to monopolize the treasures and opportunities sealed inside the Lost City, but they also had another reason, they were also worried that the other forces would trigger the restrictions of Lost City. There was a heaven-defying restriction around Lost City, once this restriction was triggered, let alone Half-Sage realm expert, even a true Sage realm expert might not be able to withstand the might of that restriction. Can he think of a way to intentionally trigger the restriction nearby Lost City and spell an end to this army and experts under Qing Tianhou? Ye Chuan suddenly had a bold idea. Although he had the surviving disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect as his planted agents and had the trump card Five Step Fragrance, they were still not enough to guarantee the destruction of the army under Qing Tianhou. If he could fully utilize the ancient restriction around Lost City, then that would be wonderful. This idea was tempting, but after thinking carefully, Ye Chuan shook his head and tossed away this idea. With regarding the ancient restrictions around Lost City, Ye Chuan knew that no one was more familiar than Sea Demon Patriarch. This old man was so shrewd, but he had never mentioned anything about this aspect, he had been continuously worried about whether they could enter the Lost City or not. Clearly, not only was it impossible to use the ancient restrictions around Lost City, they even need to worry about those restrictions. ¡°Your Excellency, it¡¯s almost time, we should return. When all is said and done, we are at sea, it is wide and open, it is very easy to get noticed, and it is not good to expose our whereabouts.¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi warned very cautiously and with the dark red flame outside their spirits getting dimmer and dimmer, he completely retracted his aura and energy fluctuation, not daring to expose their whereabouts. On the sea surface, a cold wind whistled and the soldiers standing on the deck felt chill. As for spirits, they were even more affected by this cold wind. With every burst of this cold wind, they felt as if they were sinking deeper into an ice cave. The cultivation of Plague Archfiend Abasi was high, but he innately feared water, and now, his spirit was above the sea, he was feeling even worse. Usually, he would just stay curled up at one corner of the cabin and never come out let alone letting out his spirit. But this time, if it was not for the case of coincidentally noticing the movement of Ye Chuan and being worried about the safety of Ye Chuan, then he would have never let out his spirit. When this cold wind blew, Ye Chuan also felt not good, he had a feeling that some kind of yao beast was staring at him, making him feel ill at ease. But, looking at Bellowing Waves Island in the distance, he was somewhat unwilling to return halfway just like this. ¡°Abasi, wait a minute.¡± Ye Chuan hesitated for a moment, then continued to advance towards Bellowing Waves Island riding the wind as he spread out his powerful divine sense to observe every aspect of Bellowing Waves Island. His invisible divine sense spread through Bellowing Waves Island like tidewater. All spirit form had a very sharp sense, Plague Archfiend Abasi quickly noticed the move of Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit and carefully following after Ye Chuan, he asked, ¡°Your Excellency, what are you looking for?¡± ¡°Looking for a person, a woman, mainland¡¯s person, oval face, pointed chin¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan simply described the appearance of Tuoba Xiaoniao so that Plague Archfiend Abasi would help him to look for her. The divine sense of the latter was more powerful than his. Moreover, with two people working together to look for her, the chances of finding her were naturally much higher. ¡°No wonder, it turned out to be a woman!¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi finally understood why Ye Chuan had taken risks to send out his spirit. Unfortunately, since Ye Chuan had already spoken, he could only help him look for that woman. To look for a person via spirit¡¯s reaction, on one hand, one¡¯s divine sense should be sufficiently strong, and on the other hand, one should look for the reaction of people¡¯s heart, only those people who are very familiar with each other could mutually sense each other over long distance to some extent. The spirits of two people carefully advanced towards the Bellowing Waves Island located at the center of that ear-shaped whirlpool. And with the help of Abasi, Ye Chuan smoothly passed through the second invisible Divine thunder Formation and tried his best to sense the aura of Tuoba Xiaoniao in Bellowing Waves Island with his divine sense. They advanced forward while spreading out their powerful divine sense, scanning through distant Bellowing Waves Island with many experts. Such a move was very dangerous as it was very easy to expose themselves. Regardless of alarming the experts under Qing Tianhou or heaven-defying yao beasts of this vast sea, both were very dangerous. Plague Archfiend Abasi who was accompanying Ye Chuan was very nervous as if they were discovered, then even his spirit might be damaged heavily or captured using a heaven-defying technique. Looking from far away, Bellowing Waves Island was just a small oasis in the midst of that huge ear-shaped whirlpool, but getting closer, one could see that this island was in fact larger than Cyan Sand Island. Now, there were many camps on this island. Many soldiers and servants were moving back and forth. Dense killing intent was being emitted from those camps. Moreover, there were over a hundred powerful auras of rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts. So many experts could make people feel intimidated. Ye Chuan was also very careful as he spread out his divine sense cautiously throughout this Bellowing Waves Island. But, even after scanning quite a few times, he was unable to sense the aura of Tuoba Xiaoniao. Was Tuoba Xiong wrong? Was Tuoba Xiaoniao not on this island? Or, was he late and Tuoba Xiaoniao was already killed? The spirit of Ye Chuan became unstable as he began to lose his cool and became somewhat restless with anxiety. Now, their spirits were just a dozen or so li away from Bellowing Waves Island but he boldly continued to advance, approaching Bellowing Waves Island. And at the same time, he used an ancient technique and the might of his already powerful divine sense multiplied, then he scanned through Bellowing Waves Island again. He even scanned underground. If one said that the divine sense of before was water that quietly seeped in, then the current divine sense was a violent bull that wanted to turn the entire Bellowing Waves Island upside down. Even if he had to dig three feet down, he must find the whereabouts of Tuoba Xiaoniao today! Ye Chuan went all out, completely ignoring the danger of being exposed. But, the more he couldn¡¯t sense the aura of Tuoba Xiaoniao, the more restless he became. At that time, in an ancient underground grotto of Bellowing Waves Island, a woman who was lying unconscious on the bed suddenly woke up. ¡°Father? No, noble son Ye, it¡¯s noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao muttered and became excited feeling this familiar aura she had not felt for a long time. ¡°Miss, you finally woke up. Just in time, put on this red gown, it is almost time, if we don¡¯t hurry, then it will be too late.¡± A thin old maid servant walked over with an exquisite red gown in her hands. She was very polite, but her face was so ghastly that it was somewhat frightening. On the desk at one side, a red candle was lit, and on the wall, a large red ¡®Ï²¡¯ word was stuck.(¡®Ï²¡¯ is the symbol of good luck, especially marriage) ¡°Who are you? What do you want to do?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao was nervous and she wanted to walk away, but discovered that her limbs were limp without any strength, moreover, her cultivation was sealed with a heaven-defying technique. ¡°Miss Tuoba, congratulation, tonight is a great day for you and Lord Qi. Hereafter, you will be the thirteenth concubine of our Lord Qi.¡± This old maid servant smiled and said politely, but his hands weren¡¯t polite at all. He called two other maids and stepped forward to help put on this red gown on Tuoba Xiaoniao, then combed her hair. ¡°No¡­¡­, I don¡¯t want, I don¡¯t want to marry that old man, no¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s heart thumped as she suddenly understood what was going on. She desperately struggled, wanting to escape, but that old maid and other two maids were holding her so tightly that she was unable to move. Chapter 459: The most poisonous woman’s hear t The sky gradually darkened and lights were lit up. Now, on Bellowing Waves Island, there were lights everywhere. Soldiers and servants were sticking large ¡®Ï²¡¯ character everywhere. Many places were even covered with big red woolen carpets. There were tables inside and outside military camps. On the table, all kinds of delicacies from land and sea were piled up. Furthermore, there was also various kind of strong liquors soldiers loved. This was a rare chance for these soldiers who were strictly disciples in military ways to drink to their heart¡¯s content, so they were very happy. They were shouting loudly and laughing merrily.Everywhere was full of joy. It was full of joy outside, but inside the underground grotto, Tuoba Xiaoniao was full of tears. The two maids along with that old maid had caught her firmly while dressing her up. Even though she wanted to run away, she couldn¡¯t do so. ¡°Miss Tuoba, don¡¯t cry, today is the wedding day of you and Lord Qi. It is not good to let Lord Qi see you crying, and it is also inauspicious!¡± The mouth of this old maid was sharp. On one hand, she combed the hair of Tuoba Xiaoniao, and on the other hand, she said: ¡°I, Wang Ma, also know your suffering, which young girl doesn¡¯t yearn for love? Which young girl doesn¡¯t have her own dream lover? But, who is Lord Qi, he is the number personage under Lord Qing Tianhou. He can get whatever he wants. You should consider yourself most fortunate being able to become a concubine of Lord Qi. This is the fortune many women couldn¡¯t get even if they want to. Even those more than a dozen woman captured together with you in Bellowing Waves Island didn¡¯t have this kind of fortune. Lord Qi has given them to soldiers as a reward, and now, they are brides of numerous soldiers every night. Their days are so miserable, ai¡­¡­¡± Wang Ma calmly pressured desperately struggling Tuoba Xiaoniao, and his very thin face became even more ghastly. She didn¡¯t believe that Tuoba Xiaoniao wouldn¡¯t be obedient. Sure enough, after hearing her words, Tuoba Xiaoniao became pale recalling those more than a dozen women who were captured together with her in Bellowing Waves Island. Talking about good looks, among them, there were a few who had a pretty good appearance. They were from large families of nearby islands, and some were even the inner disciples of some sects, so their cultivation as not shallow, still, they were awarded to numerous soldiers. If that day¡­.. Tuoba Xiaoniao didn¡¯t dare to imagine, her complexion became pale in fright. Now, she didn¡¯t dare to struggle, but even if she wanted to struggle, she had no strength, only tears flowed down her cheeks. She was feeling a stabbing pain in her heart as the figure of Ye Chuan appeared again and again in her heart. She also deeply regretted not listening to him and rashly going out to the sea. Thinking about it, in those times, when she heard Ye Chuan calling her wifey, she used to get very angry, but now, Tuoba Xiaoniao knew that ye Chuan was not hateful, rather was too kind. As for this Lord Qi, he was a ruthless and cruel great devil. Although he was a very old person and already had 12 wives and concubines, he actually was still unsettled and wanted to marry thirteenth, moreover, he sent all other women that were captured together with her to military camps. He had not a shred of humanity, saying he was a devil was speaking highly of him, he clearly was an old beast! Seeing Tuoba Xiaoniao was no longer struggling, the scheme of Wang Ma succeeded and a smile appeared on his face. Then, she continued, ¡°Miss Tuoba, that¡¯s good, obediently dress up and serve Lord Qi tonight. Hereafter, you will live in ease and comfort, in the future, don¡¯t forget me, this old maid. Now, wipe off your tears, Lord Qi will arrive soon, don¡¯t let him see this. Even if it is not for yourself, think about your father. I heard that your father is working hard to row the armored warship, although he is working hard, he is still safe and hasn¡¯t received any punishment, everything is your blessing. If you are not obedient and anger Lord Qi, then only you suffering hardship is fine, but implicating your father is not good. The position of slaves are already not high, just a slight mishap and they would be tied up by the soldiers and thrown into the sea to feed fishes¡­..¡± Wang Ma struck while the iron was hot and pressured unwilling Tuoba Xiaoniao a step further using her father Tuoba Xiong as a chip to threaten. This move truly as ruthless enough. Originally, Tuoba Xiaoniao was already thinking of committing suicide. She was prepared to run into a wall to commit suicide upon finding a chance, but now, she was stunned. This person Wang Man was already old, her hair was white, but struggling for power throughout her life was not for nothing, all of her moves were ruthless. She easily handled desperately struggling Tuoba Xiaoniao. Struggle and resist? Thinking about the fate of those women first, Tuoba Xiaoniao didn¡¯t dare. Find a chance to commit suicide? Thinking about her father, how could she let him suffer the consequences? ¡°Miss Tuoba, that¡¯s good, be happy, in any case, a woman needs to marry someone eventually, marrying anyone, isn¡¯t it the same? How could those wet behind ears youngsters compare with our Lord Qi? If other women had a chance like this, they would laugh even in their dream. When I, Wang Ma, was young, I was much more miserable than you, I married my neighbor Dai Niu who was my childhood sweetheart, I also chose a young man, but what about afterward? It was a lifetime of a poor life!¡± Wang Ma gently moved up the beautiful hair of Tuoba Xiaoniao, revealing her slender neck and pretending to open up her heart, she added, ¡°Miss Tuoba, don¡¯t blame this Wang Ma for speaking out of turn, I am telling you this for your own good. Later, when you live in luxury and have attendants crowding round, you will naturally know the efforts of this Wang Ma. Youngsters are youngsters, they are inexperienced and impulsive, when you are old in the future, you will know this.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao didn¡¯t utter a single word, just endured. She didn¡¯t want to shed tears and also didn¡¯t want to implicate her father, but her tears were flowing out uncontrollably. ¡°Noble son Ye, Xiaoniao is sorry, Xiaoniao can be your bride only in next life!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao muttered to herself, recalling the voice and expression of Ye Chuan. In the past, she was always angry with Ye Chuan, but now, thinking about it, she knew that she was blessed for Ye Chuan to call her wifey. Unfortunately, those days would never return! A heavy footstep came from outside. A white bearded old man with a group of ferocious bodyguards clustered around him was walking over from distance. When he walked past, guards bowed and saluted in succession. This old man was very old. There were many age spots on his face and hands, but his body was firm and powerful, moreover, the energy fluctuation within his body was comparable to the energy fluctuation of Plague Archfiend Abasi. And when he walked, a vigorous wind would blow over, making others feel heavy pressure. But, perhaps he had drunk more tonight, he was tipsy and his entire body emitted an alcoholic smell, moreover, his steps were also not steady like in the past, he was somewhat swaying. Since the auspicious hour has arrived, Lord Qi who commanded the large army and many experts walked over. Just thinking about the dainty and lovely Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s slender waist, furthermore, those beautiful legs, he was especially cheerful and had a boorish smile all along the way. ¡°We pay respect to Great Commander!¡± ¡°Lord Qi has come!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. The soldiers guarding outside the door bowed and saluted in succession. Ordinary people addressed him as Great Commander, only those people extraordinary relationship could address him as Lord Qi. ¡°Lord Qi has come, Miss Tuoba, perform well tonight. In the future, just like your those sisters, your livelihood depends upon your performance.¡± Wang Ma arranged the clothing of Tuoba Xiaoniao and put over a bright red veil, then hastily left along with those two maids. Now, there was only Tuoba Xiaoniao alone in the room with bright red ¡®Ï²¡¯ word stuck on the wall. Her head and face was covered by that bright red veil and was somewhat invisible, restlessly waiting for the next moment. Chapter 460: I have a husband . After leaving the room, Wang Ma just happened to run into Lord Qi who was rushing over with excitement. She quickly stood at one side and bowed, ¡°Congratulation Lord Qi for the wedding, you are valorous and peerless.¡± Having heard what was said, Lord Qi stopped his steps and scanned Wang Ma with narrowed tipsy eyes, then roared with laughter, ¡°Hahaha, good, good, Wang Ma, I like your words! Valorous and peerless, hahaha, I want to be especially valorous tonight, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Lord Qi walked forward while laughing and pushing open the door, he entered. Behind, everyone looked at Wang Ma with admiration and also jealousy. Even if other people exhausted themselves to half-dead, or even go through fire and water for many years, the end benefit might not be as good as those words of Wang Ma. Valorous and peerless, saying these words at this time was great flattery, no wonder Lord Qi was so happy. ¡°Wang Ma, you are getting better at talking!¡± The leader bodyguard of Lord Qi sized up Wang Ma and his complexion was not that good, clearly, he was somewhat jealous. ¡°How can that be? Captain Liu, this servant was only telling the truth, if I have committed a crime somewhere, then this servant request Captain Liu to be magnanimous enough to forgive. I heard that another batch of goods has arrived on the island, and among them, there is a girl that is quite good. She is a smooth-skinned well-bred lady but her temperament is a bit fiery and unyielding. As it happens that your place has an opening for a maid, when I have an opportunity, I will help you persuade her.¡± Wang Ma lowered her voice and said meaningful words. The eyes of Captain Liu shone. Like if the upper beam was not straight, the lower ones would go aslant, these bodyguards who followed Lord Qi throughout the year were similar to Lord Qi. Seeing Lord Qi had gotten married with Tuoba Xiaoniao and was about to go on a campaign tonight until dawn, this Captain Liu had been drooling, ¡°No problem, then I will trouble Wang Ma. In the future, if you have a matter, then feel free to look for me.¡± ¡°Then, this servant will leave first, Captain Liu shouldn¡¯t be too hasty, hasty men don¡¯t get to eat hot tofu, wait for my news.¡± Wang Ma smiled and walked away twisting her waist. Although she was already old in age, her dress up style was still lascivious. ¡°This old woman truly isn¡¯t bashful, but, she also has some skill, heh heh¡­¡­¡± Captain Liu spat a mouthful of saliva towards the direction where Wang Ma had left. He looked down on the behavior of Wang Ma. But, thinking about that smooth-skinned little girl Wang Ma had mentioned, he let his imagination ran wild. Outside, the soldiers stopped their steps and walked some distance away intentionally or unintentionally. No one dared to disturb the good deed of Lord Qi. Thinking about that delicate and soft appearance of Tuoba Xiaoniao, they wanted to quietly peep, but no one dared to put this thought into action. Just listening to the moaning sounds of Tuoba Xiaoniao would be enough to make them feel pleasure. All soldiers pretended to be serious, but their ears were erect in secret. But, even after waiting for a while, they didn¡¯t hear the voice they expected to hear. Inside the room, the candlelight flickered, slightly illuminating the bright red ¡®Ï²¡¯ word stuck on the wall. This dim candlelight made people feel warm too. After closing the door, Lord Qi sized up Tuoba Xiaoniao who was sitting straight on the bedside under the candlelight. Her long and slender legs, her slender waist and her graceful figure under that bright red marriage gown, the more he watched, the more he liked them, ¡°Hahaha, my little beauty, I, Lord Qi has come!¡± The tipsy Lord Qi became more excited the more he watched Tuoba Xiaoniao. He roared with laughter and spreading open his arms like a ravenous wolf, he pounced on, imagining how he would lash Tuoba Xiaoniao while pushing her down. But, beyond his expectation, he caught empty air and fell flat on his face on the bed. Tuoba Xiaoniao lifted the red veil and fled to the front of a dressing table like a startled little rabbit. She was terrified to see this drunk Lord Qi. Originally, under the pressure and threat of Wang Ma, she had already resigned herself to fate for the sake of avoiding being taken into the military camp and also for the sake of her father. But, after Lord Qi walked in and she saw this wretched old fellow, she was disgusted and instinctively resisted. She would rather die. In age, Lord Qi was much older than her father Tuoba Xiong, she could even call him grandfather. Thinking of marrying such an old man and allow his hands filled with age spots touch her body, goosebumps appeared all over her body. ¡°Aiyo, little beauty truly know how to make a mood, want to play with I, Lord Qi? Hahaha, then let¡¯s play properly, come, huge I, this Lord Qi first, then kiss, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Lord Qi roared with laughter and pounced onto Tuoba Xiaoniao again, wanting to hug her. But, since he was drunk, his steps were not stable and he was slow, so he caught just empty air again. However, after several attempts, Tuoba Xiaoniao was slowly cornered and he said, ¡°Hahaha, my little beauty, I will see where you will go this time.¡± This action of dodging and nervousness of Tuoba Xiaoniao nevertheless stimulated the heart of Lord Qi. He roared with laughter and wanted to use all kinds of means to thoroughly conquer this soft and delicate little beauty tonight. ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t come over!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao was anxious. She immediately picked up a scissor from the dressing table and aimed at her own heart, preparing to die, ¡°Don¡¯t come over, step forward again and I will kill myself!¡± ¡°Humph, how did this Wang Ma handle affairs?¡± Seeing Tuoba Xiaoniao was not joking and truly wanted to commit suicide, the complexion of Lord Qi become cold, but he still continued to push forward as he said sinisterly, ¡°Little girl, what, are you feeling wronged to get married with this lordship?¡± ¡°I¡­¡­, I already have a husband, Lord Qi, I beg you, please let me go.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao implored. ¡°Oh, is that so? Who is your husband? Come on, tell me.¡± The complexion of Lord Qi became even colder. According to the words of Wang Ma, Tuoba Xiaoniao was still an inexperienced woman. Only because of that, he had publicly married her, otherwise, he would have already played with her and then sent to the military camp. He had thought that he would be enjoying himself tonight, who would have thought that this would happen? Was Tuoba Xiaoniao finding an excuse or did Wang Ma do a poor work? No matter what the reason was, Wang Ma wouldn¡¯t be able to take responsibility. Lord Qi was very upset now. ¡°He¡­¡­, He is the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan, Lord Qi, you are also a cultivator, you¡­¡­, you shouldn¡¯t act recklessly, otherwise, my husband will not let you off!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao was out of her wits and subconsciously spoke the name of Ye Chuan. ¡°Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan?¡± Lord Qi stopped and his complexion became even darker. As the number one trusted subordinate and advisor of Qing Tianhou, he naturally knew the situation of Da Qin Dynasty and various cultivation sects. Recently, in the southern part of Da Qin Dynasty, Ye Chuan had defeated the 200,000 soldiers of Da Qin Dynasty just by leading the disciples, he had naturally heard of this. If the husband of Tuoba Xiaoniao was an ordinary person, then he naturally could ignore it, but if Ye Chuan was truly her husband, then it was somewhat tricky. Although Cloud Mist Sect was declining, when all was said and done, it was an ancient sect with long inheritance. It had deep foundation outsiders couldn¡¯t imagine. This kind of sect, unless its fate was thoroughly severed, it was impossible for outsiders to completely uproot it. The defeat of the army of Da Qin Dynasty was the clear proof of it. On the surface, Qing Tianhou had already joined the Da Qin Dynasty and become the youngest Duke, but he had been preparing for battle in secret while gathering intelligence of major forces including ancient Cloud Mist Sect. At this moment, Qing Tianhou was accumulating powers without restraint, if they had a strong conflict against this ancient Cloud Mist Sect at this moment, then their power would be exposed in advance and its effect would get out of control. Tuoba Xiaoniao truly didn¡¯t know what the words she had subconsciously uttered implied, but her words stopped Lord Qi who was prepared to battle until dawn. Now, he was faced with a tricky choice. Chapter 461: Demon God’s Roar Lord Qi stood still and remained silent for a long time, merely his complexion was getting heavier and heavier. And seeing he seemed to be shaken, Tuoba Xiaoniao saw a glimmer of hope and continued to plead, ¡°Lord Qi, you are a big figure, Your Excellency, please be magnanimous and let me go.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao pleaded with tears in her eyes. She looked very pitiful. Now, her father was imprisoned and she led a wretched life far from home by herself, moreover, her cultivation was sealed and she was no different from mortal who had never cultivated. Even if she was given a chance, she couldn¡¯t escape this place. She had only one means, beg bitterly, earnestly hoping Lord Qi who set himself high above the masses be stung by conscience and be lenient. ¡°Heh heh, let you go? Okay!¡± Lord Qi smirked and readily agreed, merely his smile was sinister and his tone changed, ¡°Tonight, as long as you serve I, Lord Qi, well, you can do whatever you want. Little beauty, a moment of the spring night is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold, don¡¯t waste time, come!¡± Lord Qi said with sinister expression and pounced onto Tuoba Xiaoniao again. After thinking over, he still decided to deal with Tuoba Xiaoniao first. It was not easy to deal with Cloud Mist Sect that had long inheritance, but when all was said and done, it had already declined. It couldn¡¯t be counted as a top-notch sect. If the worst comes to the worst and Ye Chuan came for an explanation, then he would just think of a way to respond. Tuoba Xiaoniao was already such a beautiful endearing little bird, and when she begged, she looked so pitiful that it gave him an impulse to conquer her. In front of this kind of beauty, who could endure? Regardless of the consequences, Lord Qi was prepared to first forcibly take the body of Tuoba Xiaoniao and think afterward. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao screamed and hastily dodged. But this time, she was not so lucky, Lord Qi grabbed her shoulder and the scissors in her hand was also knocked out, then, he held her tight. ¡°Let me go, Lord Qi, I beg you, let me go!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao burst into tears and struggled while begging bitterly, ¡°Lord Qi, you are a great personage, you shouldn¡¯t do this, I beg you¡­¡­¡± ¡°Hahahaha, tonight, I will let you see what is called¡­.. great personage!¡± Lord Qi roared with laughter and pushed down weak Tuoba Xiaoniao onto the bed. He couldn¡¯t wait any longer and began taking off his clothing. ¡°Lord Qi, are you not afraid that my husband will kill you and exterminate your whole family?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao hugged her chest and shrunk at one corner of the bed in despair and fear. ¡°Hahaha, I am a grand Half-Sage realm expert, would I fear a youngster? You said your husband is called something Ye Chuan? In the future, if he truly dares to come, then that would be the best, I can capture him and let him watch how this lordship conquers you, and even lead the army to wipe out the entire Cloud Mist Sect, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Lord Qi roared with laughter. Now, he didn¡¯t have any misgivings. Tonight, he had only one objective, i.e., pushing down Tuoba Xiaoniao. He wanted to push her down on the bed and lash to his heart¡¯s content to seize her purity. An ill wind blew over Bellowing Waves Island along with the sea breeze directly into the underground grotto. The soldiers outside were frowning as they vaguely felt something was wrong. But, Lord Qi who had the highest cultivation base was entirely unaware, on one side, he was drunk and on the other side, his mind was filled with filth and he only had Tuoba Xiaoniao in his eyes, so even if he sensed something, he regarded it as a matter of any importance. There were many armored warships patrolling around this sea area. Let alone a person, even a fish couldn¡¯t approach the island without anybody knowing. As for entering into this island that was strongly fortified with countless experts, who could do that? Lord Qi was very confident with his means, tonight, he would forcibly take the body of Tuoba Xiaoniao. He roared with laughter, ¡°Little beauty, be obedient and serve this lordship, tonight, even if you shout until your throat splits, no one can save you, you are mine, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Lord Qi jumped onto Tuoba Xiaoniao like a ravenous wolf. Roar! A roar suddenly exploded in the sky. Outside the grotto, the cold wind suddenly rolled up and the fallen leaves flew all over. Moreover, the wooden door of the grotto was blown open by a strong gale. Then, a vague humanoid shaped air mass suddenly appeared in Bellowing Waves Island and it whistled over along with the cold wind. It opened its mouth and roared which exploded above Bellowing Waves Island like a sudden clap of thunder. Instantly, the soldiers who were eating and drinking wine stopped and everyone felt danger as they sensed the cold wind blowing. Sensing the position of Tuoba Xiaoniao, the spirit of Ye Chuan was very pleased and had subconsciously got closer, the result, he just happened to come across Long Qi wanting to force himself upon Tuoba Xiaoniao. He instantly flew into a rage and regardless of anything, his spirit rushed over. Plague Archfiend Abasi was too late to stop him and he used an ancient technique regardless of the backlash. The brutal Lord Qi suddenly stopped and turned around, then he just happened to see a vague three inches small man rushing over along with the wind. ¡°Someone has let out his spirit, stop him!¡± ¡°Protect Lord Qi!¡± The guards hastily rushed over. And in haste, some used flying sword and some shot arrows with crossbows, but these physical things were useless against the spirit. Roar! The spirit of Ye Chuan rushed over riding the wind while expanding suddenly and roaring again. This time, since it was close at hand, the roar directly exploded in the mind of these guards and those guards simultaneously staggered and vomited a mouthful of blood. Even Lord Qi who had the highest cultivation base shook as he was first to be affected. His blood and qi seethed and he vomited a mouthful of blood. Demon God¡¯s Roar! This was a lost ancient technique of Wilderness World. Allegedly, this was a heaven-defying technique used by an ancient Demon God to kill people from thousands of miles away. This technique especially attacks the spirit of enemies. In his previous life when he concealed the heaven, Ye Chuan had accidentally found this technique in an ancient ominous domain. Originally, with his current Rank 4 Daoist Master realm cultivation base, it was impossible to use this heaven-defying technique as his spirit was not powerful enough, but at the critical moment, seeing Tuoba Xiaoniao was about to be disgraced, he risked everything. ¡°Where did this evil spirit come from, daring to sneak into my military camp in spirit form?¡± The drunk Lord Qi finally sobered up. He was startled and also angry, then he clapped all of a sudden and powerful wind stopped the spirit of Ye Chuan. Next, he grabbed the empty air wanting to capture the spirit of Ye Chuan alive. In the vast sea, no one dared to easily let out their spirit. Forcibly intruding the military camp under Qing Tianhou, even less dare to do so! Lord Qi had never expected that someone would dare to do so, so he was caught unprepared, but he reacted quickly and the circumstance changed rapidly. Outside the grotto, whistling sounds resounded as many experts also rushed over. The soldiers rushed all over and activated the restrictions and formations, wanting to surround the spirit of Ye Chuan. The spirit of Ye Chuan that had rushed over in anger instantly fell into heavy besiege. Once his soul was caught or destroyed, he could become a living corpse. Even if he was a powerful expert, there was no escape from this misfortune. Chapter 462: Spirit Division Technique Roar! The angry roar resounded again as if a dragon roar and also as if a clap of thunder, especially attacking the spirit of people. The soldiers who had rushed over upon hearing the news held their head as they felt as if their brain was about to be shaken out of their body. Even Lord Qi with heaven-defying cultivation base couldn¡¯t help becoming absentminded and stopped his steps. The spirit of Ye Chuan, taking advantage of this moment, wrapped Tuoba Xiaoniao and fled, riding the ill wind. After breaking through to Rank 4 Daoist Master realm and condensing nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans, the spirit of Ye Chuan was not the same as before. He could use some heaven-defying techniques of his past life and vaguely show their might. The guards outside the grotto just feel chill as Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit brushed past them. Boom, the stone wall of the grotto collapsed and a tall and big figure shot out. Lord Qi was furious, he flew out and chased after them. He grabbed the empty air with his big hand and the speed of Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit slowed down as if he had fallen into an invisible swamp. ¡°Protect Lord Qi, kill this devil!¡± ¡°Heh heh, actually dare to let out your spirit in our Bellowing Waves Island, it¡¯s just courting death!¡± ¡°Be careful, this is Ye Chuan, the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, he is craftier than a thousand-years-old fox, don¡¯t let him run away!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. The soldiers reacted and laid down a heavy besiege. The experts under Qing Tianhou also rushed over in succession and blocked all the route of retreat of Ye Chuan. Assassin Rain Demon also came and he immediately recognized the spirit of Ye Chuan. The spirit of Ye Chuan swayed suddenly and then accelerated. He dodged the attack of Lord Qi and rode the wind to break out of this encirclement. But at that time, a raindrop suddenly appeared in the sky and then elongated into a sharp sword and whistled towards the spirit of Ye Chuan. The assassin Rain Demon also made the move, he flew over and stopped in front of Ye Chuan, then sneered coldly, ¡°Boy, just because you forced me to flee in the sea dragon boat, you truly thought that you were awesome and actually dared to send your spirit here?¡± The physical attack was useless against spirit, but that sharp blade made up of a raindrop made Ye Chuan feel danger. His spirit became chaotic and vaguely felt as if his spirit would be cut into two. The ill wind surged and Ye Chuan suddenly turned around, not daring to take this attack head-on. He rushed towards the right direction to break out of this encirclement. Fighting in spirit form was already dangerous and difficult enough, also wanting to bring along Tuoba Xiaoniao whose cultivation was sealed was doubtfully even more strenuous. The spirit of Ye Chuan in three inches small man became dimmer and began to feel powerless. At that time, an incomparably powerful palm wind blew towards him from behind. Before Ye Chuan could break out of this encirclement, Lord Qi had already caught up to him. He furiously attacked and the spirit of Ye Chuan swayed violently as if it was about to be torn. The assassin Rain Demon was already powerful, but Lord Qi whose cultivation base was Half-Sage realm was even more terrifying! ¡°Boy, are you Ye Chuan? You came just at the right time, stay behind and watch how this lordship will conquer your wife, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Lord Qi roared with laughter and with a ferocious expression, he shouted, ¡°Withdraw, all of you, withdraw for me, I, Lord Qi will personally catch this boy and let him see how powerful our Dingxi Army under the command of Lord Qing Tianhou is. And after I, Lord Qi, have enough fun with this woman, I will bestow her to you all to play, hahaha!¡± Lord Qi who originally wanted to relax tonight was angry due to shame, he shed all of his guises. Tonight, he must torture both Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiaoniao. The spirit of Ye Chuan swayed again, unfortunately, he was not so lucky this time. Even after shaking rapidly several times, he was unable to get rid of the attack of Lord Qi. His spirit suddenly trembled and was ferociously swept away by the palm wind of Lord Qi, and in the blink of an eye, his spirit was exhausted and slammed on the nameless island some hundred li away. ¡°Noble son Ye, leave me, quickly run away by yourself!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao screamed and looked deathly pale. In the past, not seeing Ye Chuan and facing a beast in human form Lord Qi, she continuously called out the name of Ye Chuan, yearning for a miracle to happen; but now, when Ye Chuan truly appeared in front of her, she wanted Ye Chuan to immediately run far away from here. It was not that she didn¡¯t want to leave far away together with Ye Chuan from this awful place, rather Bellowing Waves Island was too dangerous now. And with so many experts here, if she wanted to run away with Ye Chuan, then she would implicate him and get captured like her! And as a cultivator, she knew the grave consequences of getting one¡¯s spirit captured. The light consequence was being controlled by others and the heavy consequence was becoming a living corpse without conscious and memory. Roar! Ye Chuan roared once again. The long lost Demon God¡¯s Roar made people absent-minded for a moment once again. ¡°Xiaoniao, go!¡± The spirit of Ye Chuan suddenly roses, then grabbing Tuoba Xiaoniao, he flung her outside the encirclement, then his spirit divided into two, two to four, four to eight¡­¡­ instantly, his spirit was divided into thousands and they rushed in different directions to break out of the encirclement riding the ill wind. Spirit Division Technique! At the critical juncture of life and death, Ye Chuan used another peerless technique without any hesitation. This was his life-saving technique. Even in his previous life when exploring ominous domains, this technique was his trump card and final deadly attack technique. The consequence of using this technique was great damage in his vitality, but it was the most effective way to save oneself at a critical moment. In his previous life, he had narrowly escaped dangers repeatedly using this technique. ¡°Kill him, don¡¯t let him escape!¡± The people reacted and used all kinds of techniques. The spirits of Ye Chuan flew everywhere and were quickly killed one after another, but several spirits still escaped. The assassin Rain Demon used his technique and got rid of many spirits of Ye Chuan, but one still flew past him. Riding the ill wind, his speed was faster than even a flying sword as he rushed towards Tuoba Xiaoniao. Until he had one breath left, Ye Chuan would not leave behind Tuoba Xiaoniao, he wanted to take her away with him. The palm wind blew over again. After crushing hundreds of Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit, Lord Qi quickly chased again, wanting to annihilate the last remaining spirit of Ye Chuan. Demon God¡¯s Roar, Spirit Division Technique, he had never seen such techniques, so seeing such techniques being used by Ye Chuan, he wanted to kill Ye Chuan all the more! He already had misgivings towards Cloud Mist Sect because it had long inheritance, so after seeing the means and power of Ye Chuan, it was even more impossible for him to let Ye Chuan escape. He didn¡¯t want to suffer a sudden attack of Ye Chuan when he was unprepared. ¡°Xiaoniao, go!¡± Ye Chuan shouted angrily and wanted to fling away Tuoba Xiaoniao again, unfortunately, after using Spirit Division Technique, his spirit was far inferior to before, and even though his heart wanted to help Tuoba Xiaoniao, he lacked strength. He couldn¡¯t even dodge the attack of Lord Qi, he could only helplessly watch the palm of Lord Qi approaching him with earth-shaking momentum. Was he truly going to die here today? Ye Chuan was unwilling, his spirit fluctuated once again as he used Spirit Division Technique once again. This time, his spirit was divided into only nine spirits and their power was much worse, but he luckily escaped. Among his nine spirits, one spirit luckily escaped the attack of Lord Qi and carrying Tuoba Xiaoniao with great difficulty, he ran away. Merely, his speed was faster than flying swords in the past, but now, it was not much faster than a snail. Chapter 463: Escape After using Spirit Division Technique again, the spirit of Ye Chuan had already withered like a lamp without oil. Still, he forcibly ran carrying along Tuoba Xiaoniao. ¡°Hahaha, kid, run, run faster!¡± Lord Qi roared with laughter while leisurely following him. He was enjoying this chase just like a cat that had already cornered a mouse. In terms of cultivation base, Ye Chuan was already far from being his opponent, now, in spirit form and his vitality already damaged greatly, Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t even withstand his single blow. Like this, even if Lord Qi didn¡¯t personally make a move, he would die due to exhaustion. And although this world was so big, there was nowhere in this vast sea he could escape. Everyone else tactfully stopped and calmly watched the valor of Lord Qi. Ye Chuan was already an arrow at the end of its flight. Even an idiot could see that. Now, if they rushed out to intercept and attack, then not only would they not obtain any merits, but they would also gain the ire of Lord Qi. So, no one stepped forward. But Ye Chuan continued to run towards the seashore without looking back. The ill wind his spirit riding was getting weaker and weaker, this in turn made his speed slower and slower. He also knew that this time the situation was fraught with grim possibilities, but as long as he had a breath and a glimmer of chance, he would not give up! Gritting his teeth, Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit preserved and flew forward. He was also doing his utmost to circulate Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body while urging the power of his spirit to the maximum. ¡°Noble son Ye, don¡¯t mind me, run away by yourself!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao looked back and seeing Lord Qi with sinister face had caught up to them, she begged Ye Chuan to put her down and escape by himself. Now, her face was filled with tears. At this critical moment, she was able to see that Ye Chuan was trying to save herself regardless of his safety. She was already content with this, she no longer had any regret in her heart. Now, she was not worried about her end, rather worried about the safety of Ye Chuan. If she was captured then her end might be unbearable, but what about Ye Chuan? Once his spirit was captured, what kind of hardship would he suffer? Needless to think, Tuoba Xiaoniao also knew that Lord Qi wouldn¡¯t let Ye Chuan die so easily. Before death, Ye Chuan would definitely suffer numerous cruel tortures and hardships. ¡°Xiaoniao, don¡¯t speak, listen to the technique I am imparting you and help me undo your seal!¡± On one side, Ye Chuan persisted while gritted his teeth and on the other hand, he imparted a technique to Tuoba Xiaoniao on the spot. The technique of Lord Qi to seal the cultivation of Tuoba Xiaoniao was extraordinary. Many peak Daoist Master realm experts might be helpless in front of this technique of Lord Qi let alone Tuoba Xiaoniao. Trying to break this technique by herself was a futile effort. But, as Heaven Concealing Great Sage of the past, Ye Chuan thoroughly saw through this technique of Lord Qi. Because he was in spirit form, moreover, his vitality was greatly damaged, he was powerless to help her break this seal. Tuoba Xiaoniao nodded her head and listened attentively while memorizing every word of Ye Chuan. By the time Ye Chuan was repeating for the second time, she was already beginning to use this profound technique while listening to him and a warm current began to appear within her body. Wherever this warm current flowed, strength gradually began to condense again. ¡°Eh¡­¡­, kid, truly didn¡¯t think that you still have a bit of skill!¡± Lord Qi who was chasing leisurely quickly noticed this change. He didn¡¯t wait for Tuoba Xiaoniao to completely unseal her cultivation. He ferociously smiled and accelerated suddenly, then reached out his hand to grab Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit, ¡°Hahaha, kid, it¡¯s time to end, no matter how many techniques or defensive treasures you have, don¡¯t imagine that it¡¯s possible to escape tonight. You two can just stay here and see how I, Lord Qi, will entertain you two, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Lord Qi roared with laughter. He immediately used all his strength noticing the change. He wouldn¡¯t give any chance to Ye Chuan. No matter if that was Demon God¡¯s Roar or Spirit DivisionTechniquee, the means of Ye Chuan were heaven-defying. Therefore, although his cultivation was very high, had a well-thought-out plan and was enjoying the helplessness of Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiaoniao, Lord Qi didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He feared that Ye Chuan might have even more powerful trump card. The gale whistled towards Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan just sighed as his limbs became cold. As long as there was a little time, Tuoba Xiaoniao would be able to unseal her cultivation, then even if he couldn¡¯t escape, she would have a chance to escape. But, now, both of them were powerless to resist being captured by this powerful Lord Qi. Although Ye Chuan would not give up until he took his last breath, he truly was helpless now. With the cultivation of just Rank 4 Daoist Master realm, moreover, in spirit form, he couldn¡¯t use many techniques. In addition, his spirit was heavily injured, he couldn¡¯t withstand even a single blow of Lord Qi. In the sky above Bellowing Waves Island, along with a whistling sound, another burst of strong gale suddenly blew over from the sea. No need to mention that this ill wind had blown over so suddenly, it also brought along a powerful pressure accompanied by a strong danger. A vague three-eyed toad manifested in the midst of this ill wind and he ferociously slammed against Lord Qi. Then, this Lord Qi who was known as the number one expert among the army of Qing Tianhou let out a muffled groan and blood flowed out of his mouth. Moreover, he was sent flying and slammed against the ground and the blood and qi within his body seethed. ¡°Your Excellency, go!¡± Suddenly, a red light flashed in the midst of this ill wind, and a faint red halo shrouded both Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiaoniao. Then, ill wind wrapped both of them and blew away. Plague Archfiend Abasi who was watching this battle finally rushed out at the last moment. Although his cultivation was much higher than Ye Chuan, he was also similarly in spirit state. If the spirit of Ye Chuan was still surrounded by Lord Qi and numerous other experts in Bellowing Waves Island, then even if he had the heart to save him, he might not be able to reach him. But, arrogant and conceited Lord Qi let Ye Chuan run all the way here, moreover, other experts took no action, just sit by and watched, this gave him a chance to make a move and save him. After one attack, he immediately used all his strength to grab two people and ran away riding his ill wind towards the vast sea as fast as possible. A Half-Sage realm expert? The complexion of Lord Qi changed greatly and looking at flying away Plague Archfiend Abasi, Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiaoniao, he hesitated for a bit and chased them while gritting his teeth, ¡°Chase, everyone, chase after them, kill them for me!¡± The unexpected appearance of Half-Sage realm expert greatly shocked Lord Qi. What was even worse was that person was actually together with Ye Chuan. Regardless of private or public matter, he absolutely couldn¡¯t let them escape unscathed. If he didn¡¯t kill them now taking advantage of the time when they were in spirit form, then there would be no end of trouble in the future. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Lord Qi has ordered, don¡¯t let them escape!¡± Experts among the army used their techniques in succession as they chased after Ye Chuan¡¯s group. Looking down from high altitude, an ill wind was rapidly moving forward on the sea surface, the spirit of Abasi was running wildly bringing along the spirit of Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiaoniao. Behind them, there were over a hundred ferocious experts. The energy fluctuation of everyone was extraordinary, all of them were late-stage Daoist Master realm experts. Under the lead of Lord Qi, they were pursuing relentlessly sticking close to the sea surface. Chapter 464: Approaching war Compared to Ye Chuan, Plague Archfiend Abasi¡¯s spirit was flying faster and faster. On the sea surface, there was no obstruction, so his speed was even faster. Although Lord Qi and the numerous experts under him were pursuing relentlessly, slowly, the distance between them was getting larger and larger. After chasing until a nameless deserted island, they could only watch these three people disappear into the horizon. ¡°Damn it!¡± Lord Qi was so angry that his face twisted. He had coveted the beauty of Tuoba Xiaoniao for a long time. Until some time ago, he had been busy dealing with the matters of Bellowing Waves Island, so when he was free today, he was prepared to leisurely enjoy the young and beautiful body of Tuoba Xiaoniao tonight to his heart¡¯s content. But who would have thought that that piece of fat meat would fly away from his mouth? As a Half-Sage realm expert and commander of the army, since such a matter had happened, he had completely lost his face. At this moment, Lord Qi was so angry that his chest was rising and falling rapidly. And looking at the direction where the trio of Ye Chuan had disappeared, his face twisted and shouted ferociously, ¡°Liu Yuan, where are you? Roll out for me!¡± ¡°Here, this servant pays¡­¡­ pays respect to Lord Qi!¡± Liu Yuan was the deputy commander responsible for patrolling and gathering intelligence. Now, he stood out with fear and trepidation. Seeing the ferocious complexion of Lord Qi, he was feeling fidgety and his forehead was covered with sweat. ¡°Liu Yuan, how did you do your job? A Half-Sage realm expert has come to nearby waters, but you actually have yet to get to the information.¡± The voice of Lord Qi was ice-cold, and he continued with dense killing intent, ¡°It seems your current life is too comfortable, using all your energy and strength in the belly of women. Do you want I, Lord Qi, help you request Lord Hou to recall you back to Flames Mountain to recuperate for a period of time?¡± ¡°No, Lord Qi, please spare me!¡± The deputy commander Liu Yuan hastily kneeled on the ground and said with a pale face, ¡°Lord Qi, just give me some days, I will definitely clear up the origin of those people, I will never let them sneak in again, and also will not let them obstruct our important matter!¡± ¡°Some days?¡± The eyes of Lord Qi glimmered with pallid light and emitted dense killing intent as he roared, ¡°After dawn, I want to see the result. I want to see people if they are alive and corpses if they are dead. The entrance of Lost City is about to manifest, how can I give you some days?¡± The army had forcibly seized Bellowing Waves Island, on one hand, it was to seal the nearby territorial waters and not allow other powers to get a share of action, wanting to monopolize the treasures inside Lost City, and on the other hand, they were also waiting for an opportunity. The defensive restriction of Lost City, the holy land of Sea Demon Clan, had already weakened, and the once in a century chance was about to appear, but, the entrance has yet to manifest, so they couldn¡¯t enter even if they had heaven-defying means. However, according to the estimation of Qing Tianhou, the entrance to Lost City would appear in one or two days, so they couldn¡¯t waste even a second. At such time, suddenly a mysterious Half-Sage realm expert had appeared, moreover, he was together with ancient Cloud Mist Sect, so this matter was very grave. Capturing back young and beautiful Tuoba Xiaoniao was just a minor matter, ensuring that their action was smooth and obtain the origin energy and treasured sealed inside Lost City was the matter of utmost importance. If the task issued by Qing Tianhou was not accomplished, then everyone would be severely punished. Even Lord Qi who was the leader of this troop might not be able to save his head! ¡°Lord Qi, I¡­¡­¡± The deputy commander Liu Yuan was drenched with cold sweat and he trembled. The entrance to Lost City was about to manifest, he was well aware of the seriousness and urgency of this incident. But, finding a few people in this vast sea and having a result before dawn, was that possible? Not to mention Half-Sage realm expert, even an ordinary fisherman could easily hide in this vast sea. Moreover, there were countless nameless deserted islands just within the sea area around several hundred li. ¡°Lord Qi, perhaps, I know where they are.¡± The assassin Rain Demon who was among the crowd suddenly spoke. ¡°Speak, where?¡± Lord Qi looked at Rain Demon and other experts also looked at him. ¡°Lord Qi, do you remember the special sea dragon boat you especially asked me to be careful of?¡± Rain Demon asked. Even while facing the extremely vicious complexion of Lord Qi, he wasn¡¯t panic-stricken. Even though all experts here were similarly under Qing Tianhou, their status however were different. There were plenty of direct subordinates, but some were experts Qing Tianhou had recruited. The assassin Rain Demon was the latter kind. In this operation, although he was under the command of Lord Qi, his status was somewhat different, it was sort of like a guest of the army. Especially Rain Demon, his unique technique was even more powerful in this Overseas World. He could casually change a raindrop into a sharp blade, increasing his fighting power. Even Lord Qi had to be somewhat polite with him. ¡°Rain Demon, are you saying that that mysterious expert is from Sea Demon Clan?¡± Lord Qi was shocked. In this operation, they had to fight against other forces, but the most important matter was destroying Sea Demon Clan. According to the intelligence, Sea Demon Clan had deteriorated, and the highest level of cultivation was peak Daoist Master realm, and only their patriarch was in his realm. If this intelligence was wrong and Sea Demon Clan also had a Half-Sage realm expert, then that meant trouble! ¡°Two days ago, during the routine patrolling, I accidentally encountered sea dragon boat of Sea Demon Clan. So, following your instruction, I directly tried to assassinate Sea Demon patriarch. At that time, I encountered the interception of Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, and also discovered a mysterious Half-Sage realm expert. Thus, the assassin that should have easily succeeded failed.¡± Rain Demon paused and added: ¡°Whether that mysterious Half Sage realm expert is from Sea Demon Clan or not, I am not sure for the moment, but, I personally think that he is not, on the contrary, it appears as if he is the flower of Ye Chuan. His appearance with the spirit of Ye Chuan tonight proves this. Originally, I should have immediately reported this to Lord Qi, but Lord Qi was especially busy these two days, so¡­¡­¡± Rain Demon was somewhat tactful. In these two days, Lord Qi was not especially busy, rather he was especially looking forward to this bridal chamber and no one dared to tell the news that would destroy his mood. Originally, Rain Demon was thinking to wait until after the bridal chamber of Lord Qi, then report this to him in the next morning. But beyond his expectation, such a matter happened. ¡°Where are they?¡± Lord Qi asked, his complexion cloudy. Now, it was not the time to look into the responsibility of Rain Demon, he needed to round up the trio of Ye Chuan along with Sea Demon Clan in one fell swoop! ¡°On a nameless deserted island that is several hundred li away in the west. Looking at their appearance, they should be waiting for a chance to break through our blockade. They would not have moved easily so as to avoid exposing their whereabouts, but, it is hard to say after tonight.¡± Rain Demon replied. ¡°Liu Yuan, immediately take your troops with Rain Demon to that nameless deserted island, and after discovering the target, trap them first, the main army will come soon afterward!¡± Lord Qi quickly calmed down and ordered coldly. ¡°Yes!¡± The deputy commander Liu Yuan and Rain Demon bowed then left in haste. Soon, about a dozen armored warships sailed through the waves. Then, a low bugle resounded throughout the Bellowing Waves Island and even more armored warships rushed to gather together. The soldiers also hastily left the military camp and began to move huge massacring machinery of Qing Tianhou army. Chapter 465: Heart has a fierce tiger The night shrouded the vast sea. The sea was calm as if a mirror plane. The sea was always especially calm before the dawn as if it was also asleep. Everything was quiet and silent. At that time, a burst of cold wind blew over the sea surface faster than a flying sword. Plague Archfiend Abasi was burning with impatience. He was using all his power to fly at his full speed. He didn¡¯t care no matter what happened to Tuoba Xiaoniao, moreover, she had already gotten rid of the seal on her cultivation using the technique imparted by Ye Chuan, but the situation of Ye Chuan was anything but reassuring. After forcibly using Spirit Division Technique twice, the spirit of Ye Chuan had suffered great damage and his spirit was getting weaker and weaker. Now, he was not even able to condense his small man form, only vague qi cyclone remained. If his spirit was not quickly returned into his body, then his spirit might completely dissipate. Spirit Division Technique was an amazing technique, was heaven-defying ancient technique, but the consequences of forcibly using it was also very serious. With the current Rank 4 Daoist Master realm cultivation of Ye Chuan, just using once was already peeling off a layer of skin, using twice, it was already far beyond his limits. In addition, he had also suffered the attack of Lord Qi. Thus, his spirit was already so greatly damaged that he only had one last breath left, and even after Plague Archfiend Abasi using his technique, it was hard to maintain this one last breath, his spirit was already on the brink of collapse. ¡°Your Excellency, hold on, you must hold on, we are almost there!¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi gritted his teeth and used all his strength to fly. He hadn¡¯t expected the condition of Ye Chuan to be so serious. Now, he was regretting for not making a move earlier. And while flying, he said to Tuoba Xiaoniao, ¡°Miss Tuoba, quick, speak to His Excellency, don¡¯t let his spirit lose consciousness.¡± After letting out one¡¯s spirit, one should fear encountering heaven-defying evil spirits, and secondly, one should also worry about not being able to return to one¡¯s body in time after one¡¯s spirit was injured. En route, if the spirit lost consciousness, then they might never wake up and no longer be able to return to their body. ¡°Okay, I understand!¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao nodded her head with tears in her eyes. Seeing the spirit of Ye Chuan getting weaker and weaker, she wanted to help but she didn¡¯t know where to start. She reached out her hand wanting to touch him, but her fingertip passed through him. It was impossible to touch him. ¡°Noble son Ye, it¡¯s all my fault, I implicated you!¡± ¡°Noble son Ye, why did you let out your spirit to save me? Why were you so stupid like that?¡± ¡°Noble son Ye, don¡¯t leave, don¡¯t leave me, I am Tuoba Xiaoniao, didn¡¯t you say I am your wife? Do you already not recognize me? Noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. Tuoba Xiaoniao said and burst out in tears. Helplessly watching the spirit of Ye Chuan getting weaker and weaker, and already not recognizing anyone, tears flowed down her cheeks. Plague Archfiend Abasi accelerated again, he recklessly began to burn his own spirit in change for even faster speed. Now, they could already see the vague outline of nameless deserted island where the sea dragon boat was docked. But, his heart was getting heavier and heavier as he sensed that the spirit of Ye Chuan had already dissipated. In the beginning, there was a faint phantom of Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit, but now, he was unable to maintain even a small qi cyclone. It changed into specks of starlight wanting to dissipate between heaven and earth. At the same time, the physical body of Ye Chuan that was sitting cross-legged on the nameless deserted island also closed his eyes and stopped breathing. When the spirit dissipated, it signifies the end of life. Even if the physical body was not rotted, it would not have any thoughts and consciousness, becoming a living corpse. Zhu Sijia, Little Long¡¯er and others who had rushed over earlier after sensing something was wrong couldn¡¯t help crying. They wished to help him somehow, but they didn¡¯t know what to do. Ever since the ancient times, Cloud Mist Sect was good at refining all kinds of pill medicines, but in the current situation before them, Zhu Sijia was completely helpless. Even if Great Elder was here, he might also be at his wit¡¯s end. Even experienced and knowledgeable Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was also helpless and didn¡¯t know what to do. Now, everyone knew that the spirit of Ye Chuan had met a mishap, but they were also at their wits¡¯ end. A clear and crisp hasty ringing of a bell suddenly resounded on the sea surface. A small bell suddenly flew out from within the body of Ye Chuan. If Nan Tiandu was here, then he would have noticed that this bell was something given to Ye Chuan by that cyan robed Seventh Elder. This clear and crisp sound of bell got louder and louder, directly reverberating in the mind of people, seemingly penetrating the time and space. The stopped heart of Ye Chuan began to beat again and his body suddenly shook. But, his eyes were still closed and he subconsciously made hand gestures. Then, Cyan Lotus Lamp floating above his head suddenly emitted cyan light. This cyan light penetrated through clouds and spread out, then the spirit of Ye Chuan that was about to completely dissipated condensed again. Sensing the changes in the spirit of Ye Chuan, Plague Archfiend Abasi was overjoyed. He roared and accelerated again towards that nameless deserted island, and the spirit of Ye Chuan rushed into his body on its own. Fuu! Ye Chuan opened his mouth and exhaled a mouthful of chaotic qi and slowly opened his eyes. Compared to usual time, his spirit was exhausted and the energy fluctuation within his body was far inferior, but when all was said and done, he was still alive. Upon seeing this, Zhu Sijia, Little Long¡¯er and others who were waiting around him rejoiced and relaxed. Tuoba Xiaoniao was also happy and she stared fixedly at Ye Chuan in fear that if she blink her eyes, she would discover that this was a dream and Ye Chuan would disappear if she wakes up from this dream. ¡°Report¡­¡­¡± A disciple of Cloud Mist Sect rushed over and kneeling in front of Ye Chuan, he said, ¡°Reporting to Big Senior Apprentice Brother, we discover a dozen or so armored warships in the east, they are rushing straight towards us!¡± Before Zhu Sijia and others understood what was going on, a scout brought back a piece of astonishing news. It was dark, but a dozen or so armored warships were sailing straight towards them, this was not accidental. Clearly, their whereabouts was exposed. These armored warships had come prepared! Came so quickly! Ye Chuan and Plague Archfiend Abasi looked at each and became solemn, ¡°How far are they?¡± The aura of Ye Chuan was weak. He was not recovered, but his time was calm and sharp. Just as in the past, he was calm and composed. This time, he absolutely shouldn¡¯t lose his calm. If he loses his calm, then the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, warriors of Sea Demon Clan and the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect would be unable to bear. ¡°Roughly 50 li away, but their speed is very fast, it wouldn¡¯t take long for them to arrive!¡± The scout answered tensely. ¡°Transmit my order to withdraw immediately. Other than sea demon warriors, all others are to board the captured armored warship and prepare to fight!¡± Ye Chuan gave orders making a prompt decision, then turning around, he said, ¡°Jiajia, how many Five Step Fragrance have you refined?¡± ¡°175 bottles, only two-thirds of the task is complete.¡± Zhu Sijia looked ashamed. When Ye Chuan entered seclusion cultivation and went out to explore Bellowing Waves Island in spirit form, she had been refining Five Step Fragrance, unfortunately, her refining speed was much slower than she had imagined. Moreover, with the exhaustion of physical strength and energy, his refining speed got slower and slower. ¡°That¡¯s enough, instruct Li Dingxi and other disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect to prepare.¡± Ye Chuan slowly stood up and looked at the distant sea enveloped in the dim light of night. Although his spirit was exhausted and his body was weak, his heart had a fierce together and his eyes were blazing like torches. Chapter 466: Female dancers Under the cover of the night, two boats rapidly sailed away. The sea dragon boat sailed deeper into the sea. It had some other task far away. As for armored warship captured by Ye Chuan and others, it didn¡¯t sail far away, just hid in the nearby waters. Shortly after the two boats left, along with crashing sounds, about a dozen dense and dark armored warships sailed straight towards the nameless deserted island where Ye Chuan and others were stationed previously for two days. And even before the ships docked, many people were so impatient that they jumped off the deck and rushed to the nameless deserted island. But, on this nameless deserted island, there were tents, but no people. ¡°Damn it!¡± The deputy-commander Liu Yuan gnashed his teeth and kicked a piece of rock. He was furious. After Lord Qi had given the order, he had immediately led his troops to this place, not daring to waste a moment, but beyond his imagination, he was still a step late! Since he was unable to capture Ye Chuan and Tuoba Xiaoniao and also unable to find that mysterious Half-Sage expert, how could he explain himself to Lord Qi? Liu Yuan was surprised and also angry, but the restlessness and fear in his heart were above anger. At first glance, there were many tents on the island, clearly, a group of people had broken through the blockaded and quietly arrived here. It seemed to be the group of Ye Chuan. As a deputy commander that was responsible for vigilance and patrolling, this was clearly neglecting his duty. In the future, it was fine if nothing happened, but if something happened and ruined the important matter of Qing Tianhou, then he would be the first person to suffer the disaster. Let alone keeping his official position, he feared that he would be in the situation where death was better than life! Recalling the means of Qing Tianhou, Liu Yuan trembled. Long Qi was already cruel and brutal enough, but compared to Qing Tianhou who truly controlled the army, it was still just a small part. If Lord Qi was enraged, you would die, but if Qing Tianhou was enraged, then you will not be able to die even if you want to! ¡°Commander Liu, look.¡± Rain Demon walked over to one bonfire and noticed that the ashes were still somewhat hot and said, ¡°These bonfires were just extinguished. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and those sea demon warriors shouldn¡¯t have gone far!¡± ¡°Chase! Disperse and chase, once the target is discovered, don¡¯t let them run away!¡± The deputy commander Liu Yuan loudly ordered and quickly flew back to the armored warship. Immediately after that, those armored warships quickly dispersed into the vast sea. The soldiers in the lower level cabin swung their leather-thonged whip, whipping slaves. They forced slaves to grit their teeth and use all their energy to row and increased the speed of the armored warship. In the distance, Ye Chuan watched this entire scene and smiled coldly, then instructed everybody to get into action. The captured armored warship didn¡¯t sail away from this dangerous sea area, instead, they quietly look for their target using the cover of the night just like a yao beast hunting for prey. Unlike the sea dragon boat, these armored warships mainly depended on manpower to sail forward. The temporary burst of energy had greatly increased the speed of these armored warships, but this wouldn¡¯t last long. In less than half an hour, the speed of these armored warships slowed down in succession. No matter how much these soldiers whipped the slaves, the slaves had no strength to row. At this moment, those armored warships were at least 30 li away from each other. They had sailed towards different direction with that nameless deserted island as the center. The deputy commander Liu Yuan also had many years of experience in the army. He decisively divided his forces under the warning Rain Demon. Unfortunately, even after half an hour, he gained nothing. The group of Ye Chuan seemed to have gone far away without a trace. There was no clue and it was still dark, so it was not easy to look for people in this vast sea. The soldiers of all armored warships were also well aware, and with their speed slowing down more and more, they no longer had any hope in their heart. On a deserted island 50 li away, an armored warship drifted over along with the tide, it didn¡¯t have the speed of before. The soldiers who originally were standing on the deck and watching all around with dense killing intent slowly returned to the cabin to rest. Since it was hopeless to find Ye Chuan¡¯s group, they naturally were downhearted. Although deputy commander Liu Yuan was burning with impatience, ordinary soldiers didn¡¯t realize the seriousness of this matter, so they didn¡¯t care so much. In any case, for them, even if the heaven collapse, there were commanders in different levels to hold on. Crash, the sound of sea waves resounded through the night sky. The soldiers on duty on the watchtower were still doing their duty. They quickly became alert. They looked over and only saw a ship had appeared some distance away at an unknown time. And under the dim lamplight, they could indistinctly see many figures. It seemed that there were many people on that ship. ¡°Quick, enemy!¡± The short soldier called his tall partner beside him and subconsciously raised the horn hanging on his waist. But, just when he was about to blow the horn and warn everyone, he felt that something was wrong. He hesitated for a bit and watched carefully. The boat that was coming from the darkness looked like it was also an armored warship. The outline and high mast of the ship and even the armor worn by the soldiers standing on the deck were exactly the same! ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss about nothing, they are on our side.¡± The tall soldier shook his head and complained the vigilant short soldier for making a fuss about nothing. Then, he yawned and closed his eyes again. He was not interested in watching the armored warship that was coming from the dark. The result, just after he had lied down, the short soldier beside him made a fuss again. ¡°Gangzi, are you sick tonight? Why are you not letting others take a rest?¡± The tall soldier angrily scolded and felt that he was unlucky. In the other group of people on guard duty, one took the rest and one stay to watch in turns. This was the secret rule, but when together with this persistence small soldier, he didn¡¯t have any quiet time. Perhaps, this fellow was too young, or perhaps, he had come to the sea for the first time after he was enlisted, but he was terribly suspicious and get frightened if he sees anything. ¡°Big bro, you¡­¡­, look!¡± The short soldier shouted again with an inconceivable and doubtful look. The tall man muttered and watched carefully and was also stunned. The armored ship that was coming from the dark was very quiet, but its speed was not slow. The distance was getting shorter and shorter. On the deck of that armored warship, he could vaguely see a few soldiers on duty. The majority of them were crowded in the cabin. And through the window, he could indistinctly see several women dancing inside the cabin. The posture and movements of those dancers were delicate and lovely, especially the woman standing in the middle, she was jumping while singing something. Her figure was lithe and graceful. These two soldiers had never seen this kind of dance. It danced as if her body was boneless and the charm of her soft and graceful body was displayed to the max, moreover, the vaguely seen charming body under her spacious gown was all the more attractive. ¡°Who is the commander of that warship? No wonder there are so few people on the deck, all of them are in the cabin watching the erotic dance! Tsk tsk, how come our commander didn¡¯t capture such dancers and satisfy our craving!¡± The tall man drooling watching those female dancers. If he could, he wished to fly over to watch clearly. He placed his hand on his mouth and whistled a few times and several acquainted soldiers came out from the cabin upon hearing his whistle. Their eyes also lit up seeing the figure of those female dangers of that armored ship. Chapter 467: Thunderclap means The dance in the cabin of the other warship made people drool and slowly, more and more soldiers walked out on the deck to watch. After the other warship reached close, they could clearly discern that it was also the armored warship of their side. Even the armor worn by the soldiers guarding on the deck was exactly the same. In the beginning, there were some who were still vigilant in secret, but slowly, as they watched the girls dancing in the other warship, they also relaxed and enjoyed the dance. As the distance between the two warships got shorter and shorter, the soldiers were able to see the move of dancers clearer and clearer. They were even able to hear the sound of singing. These soldiers became even more fascinated as their gaze rested on the towering chest, pert buttocks and slender waist of those dancing girls. Among those female dancers, the figure of the female dancer in the middle was the best, but it was unfortunate that her face was covered with an extremely thin veil, so they were unable to clearly see her facial feature. But, the more it was like that, the more fascinated they became, ardently hoping to see her face. A ripple had appeared on the sea surface ay an unknown time, those ripples were rippling towards the armored warship from all directions. Listening carefully, one could hear a round of peculiar sound of gurgling water as if a big fish was swimming at a high speed just below the sea surface. ¡°Eh, strange, how come no one gave a signal until now? Did the sailors on the watchtowers of that warship all asleep?¡± On the watchtower, that short person called Gangzi muttered to himself in confusion and waved the flame banner in his hand again. This was a rule established personally by Qing Tianhou. It was used for coordinating different troops from distance. On the sea, this method was especially practical, it can be used to cooperate from the distance to jointly attack enemy warships. From the moment he noticed the opposite warship, this short soldier had been continuously waving the flame banner on the watchtower, taking the initiative to communicate, but the opposite warship didn¡¯t respond even though it was getting closer and closer. This was strange. ¡°Yes, who actually is the commander of the opposite warship? In our vanguard army, who has captured such alluring female dancers? How come I have never heard of it before?¡± The tall soldiers were also confused and upon closer look, he felt apprehensive, and the more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong. The opposite warship looked exactly the same as their armored warship, but there was no one on the watchtowers, and those few soldiers standing on the deck were also facing their back towards them from the beginning to the end. The female dancers in the cabin were very attractive, and they could vaguely see that the cabin was filled with people, but the strange thing was they couldn¡¯t hear even a little noise. It was very quiet and frightening. There were several charming female dancers dancing in the front like that, and they often revealed their slender waist and navel. If he was the soldier onboard, then he wouldn¡¯t have cheered loudly, but, how come the soldiers on that warship not making any noise? This is strange, basically is contrary to common sense! There is something wrong with that warship, enemy attack! On the watchtower, the two soldiers looked at each other, then simultaneously raised the horn hanging on their waist and blew it. An ear-piercing horn sound resounded throughout the night sky. On the deck, the soldiers that were captivated by the dance looked up in confusion. The majority of them were still confused, but there were also some who reacted quickly and pulled out the sword hanging on their waist. The commander of this warship who had fallen asleep dead drunk in his cabin finally rushed out and ordered soldiers loudly to prepare for the battle. At that time, the opposite warship suddenly accelerated. The female dancers in the cabin suddenly disappeared, even the dim oil lamps were also extinguished. The entire warship was like a ghost ship now, but it still sailed towards them. At that time, with the help of hazy moonlight, they saw ice cold crossbows extending out from the windows of the cabin and cold light glimmered. ¡°Enemy attack, enemy attack, they are enemies!¡± ¡°Prepare ballistae, use ballistae to bombard and sink this enemy ship, quick!¡± The soldiers finally came back to their senses. Some didn¡¯t know what to do in a rush and some thought to rushed to ballistae on the deck, but they were unable to advance or retreat due to the crowd. For a short while, there was chaos. The result, before they could aim their ballistae, the ballistae of the opposite warship roared first and heavy arrows that were as thick as a thigh ferociously hit the hull. The huge armored warship swayed as holes appeared on the hull and those soldiers who didn¡¯t have time to dodge and unfortunate soldiers were also hit by those arrows, and even if they didn¡¯t die, they were heavily injured. The speed of that strange warship increased and quickly approached within 100 meters. Immediately after that, the soldiers heard a strange sound which resembled the roars of sea waves and also countless bees bussing beside their ears. They looked up and saw countless arrows were whistling towards them. It was dense like rain and also locust blotting out the sky. On the warship, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect who had been prepared to fight for a long time immediately attacked. Over one hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows roared and sharp arrows came down in torrents like a rain. Sad and shrill screams quickly resounded throughout the sky. The soldiers that were crowded on the deck to watch a play fell one after another. Since they had suddenly rushed out in the middle of the night to watch the dance of female dancers, no one had worn helmet and armor, thus, in front of dense sharp arrows descending from the heaven, moreover, no place to hide, they could only pray for their luck. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect basically didn¡¯t need to even aim. ¡°Retreat to the cabin, quick!¡± The drunken commander finally sobered up. He loudly gave orders while brandishing his sword to block arrows. But, when he just finished speaking, the arrows falling from the sky suddenly stopped, however, before he had time to have a sigh of relief, even more terrifying sound came from the sea below. On the sea, bolts of lightning appeared along with the crackling sound. They merged and become a net as if their armored warship had accidentally entered the lightning domain. Crackle! A chopstick-length electric eel took the initiative to jump out of the sea surface and landed on the deck, followed by ten, one hundred¡­¡­ In an instant, tens upon tens of thousands of electric eels jumped onto the deck and shot into the cabin, followed by terrifying screams and wails. The soldiers who had survived the bombardment of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows suffered even more terrifying attack. In the blink of an eye, terrifying electric eels with crackling lightning were everywhere of this armored warship. Since this warship was forged with pig iron, lightning spread everywhere. Other than the salves at the lowest floor of this warship, all the soldiers onboard instantly suffered a deadly attack. Even the commander was also bound by the super electric eel and soon changed into a coke. The armored warship without anything unusual on the surface was just a cover to lower the guard of the enemy troops, then using the dance of Hai Lili and other women of Sea Demon Clan to attract their attention, they instantly initiated a thunderclap-like quick attack! Ye Chuan walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck coldly watching the blood enemy warship. He was still very weak and his spirit was severely injure. He couldn¡¯t recover in a short period of time, but the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Bellowing Waves Sect quickly followed him. Everyone greatly respected him. Especially the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect, experiencing the strategy and thunderclap means of Ye Chuan again, they had more hopes for their revenge war. Chapter 468: Entrance location After killing all the soldiers with thunderclap means, Ye Chuan ordered to sink this armored warship, then quickly left to find the next target. Sea waves appeared on the surface as the corpses of soldiers along with the armored warship sunk into the sea. Only blood and some bits and pieces floating on the sea described a fierce battle occurred here. After a little while, even these marks were also either dispersed or engulfed by sea waves. Now, no one could know what had happened here. A sturdy armored warship along with thousands of elite soldiers sunk just like this in the sea forever. The sea breeze blew. It was still not bright yet, darkness still shrouded the sea. The armored warship of Ye Chuan and others quietly sailed through the sea just like a ghost ship looking for another prey. Another slowly sailing armored warship saw this ghost ship, and using the same method, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Bellowing Waves Sect quietly approached the target and then initiated a ferocious thunderclap-like quick attack. Using ballistae first to gain momentum, then showering arrows with over a hundred Dragon headed Flying Crossbows and then electric eel army led by super electric eel initiating the third wave of attack. After this ferocious three wave attacks, only a few soldiers remained standing, so they basically were unable to stop the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Bellowing Waves Sect. Another armored warship was sunk and everyone set out to look for the next target. This time, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t show up from the start to the finish. He didn¡¯t need to make a move in person. All the soldiers were rounded up at one fell swoop by everyone. In the cabin, a dim oil lamp was burning. Under this dim lamplight, Ye Chuan was not cultivating like usual, rather was looking at a map. This was a map taken out by Sea Demon Patriarch after his spirit had returned from Bellowing Waves Island. Every island and even every undercurrent of the surrounding sea area were marked on it. Moreover, the terrain of Bellowing Waves Island was portrayed even more clearly. The location where ancient restriction was located was also clearly marked on this map. After leaning Ye Chuan had sent out his spirit to scout the circumstance of Bellowing Waves Island, the old man knew that he couldn¡¯t conceal any longer, so pretending to be generous, he took out this ancient map passed down in his clan. Originally, according to the rule of the clan, this map shouldn¡¯t be revealed to outsiders, but in order to successfully enter Lost City, this old man had to get the help of Ye Chuan. ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, that is to say, the entrance of Lost City is here?¡± Ye Chuan pointed at a place of Bellowing Waves Island. That place just happened to be that underground grotto he had broken in to save Tuoba Xiaoniao. At that time, Ye Chuan was thinking only about saving Tuoba Xiaoniao, he had no time to carefully examine the surrounding environment. But, after seeing this detailed map, he couldn¡¯t help becoming somewhat doubtful. According to his memory, although that underground grotto looked somewhat old, it didn¡¯t resemble ancient ruins, moreover, he also didn¡¯t seem to have seen any entrance that led to Lost City there. ¡°Yes, it is there.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch nodded his head and said, ¡°In the past, I followed the previous patriarch once there, it can¡¯t be wrong. It might not look like an entrance and passage to enter also couldn¡¯t be found now because the right time has not arrived yet. When the right time arrives, an ancient transmission formation will appear. It can teleport us to our holy land, Lost City.¡± From outside the cabin, the sounds of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows roaring and screams came. They had successfully found another armored warship and began to initiate a ferocious attack. Sea Demon Patriarch was somewhat restless, he repeatedly turned his head, wanting to rush out to see the situation. But, Ye Chuan completely ignored the fierce battle outside and continued to ask closely, ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, that place happened to be the campsite of the army under Qing Tianhou. If the Transmission Formation appears now, then wouldn¡¯t¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan slightly frowned. The location of Lost City¡¯s entrance was far more troublesome that he had expected. The location just happened to be right in the middle of the campsite of the army under Qing Tianhou, this meant that they must pass through this military camp if they wanted to enter the Lost City. This was far more difficult than just sneaking into Bellowing Waves Island. In addition, as soon as the transmission formation appears, he was sure that the army under Qing Tianhou would enter first and the Lost City would face the siege of large army. This was serious. Just the original elite team would definitely not be enough. Even if they storm into the city, they could do nothing! After a short time, the noise outside gradually calmed down. Another armored warship was completely destroyed by the joint attack of everyone, and their warship continued to set out looking for the next target. Sea Demon Patriarch came back to his senses. He was inwardly surprised by the power of the elites and Yao Beast Legion under Ye Chuan. He composed himself and said, ¡°They won¡¯t even if the right time arrives, the transmission formation will not manifest on its own. Moreover, outside of our Sea Demon Clan, outsider cannot activate the transmission formation, therefore, even if the army under Qing Tianhou occupies the underground grotto, they cannot take a step into Lost City. Even if they knew the location of the entrance, they can do nothing!¡± The old man spoke out the secret of Lost City little by little like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube. When all was said and done, Lost City was not only an ancient ruin, it was still their clan¡¯s racial holy land. He had to be careful. These secrets were passed down only among the patriarch of Sea Demon Clan from generation to generation, even Hai Lili didn¡¯t know these secrets. If it not for having no alternative, then this old man would have never told these secrets to Ye Chuan. ¡°It turned out to be the case, Your Excellency Patriarch, since the circumstance has changed, we should act as the circumstances demand next!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and returned the map to Sea Demon Patriarch, then entering the secret room next door, he began cultivating. Now that Tuoba Xiaoniao was already saved, he could completely concentrate on exploring Lost City. As for the dozen or so armored warships led by Lord Qi¡¯s deputy commander Liu Yuan, he left them to Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others to take care of them. Now, for Ye Chuan, the most urgent matter was to restore his spirit power as soon as possible to prepare for the upcoming big war. In the secret room, Ye Chuan swallowed a medicinal pill, and refining worldly spiritual qi, he silently circulated Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets. Outside the secret room, Zhu Sijia wearing war robe solemnly watched the map of surrounding sea area and led everyone to launch a surprise attack on another armored warship. Under the cover of the night, this move succeeded again and again. The soldiers never expected that the armored warship which look exactly the same on the surface unexpectedly hid dense killing intent, and when they notice danger, it was already too late. At dawn, when the final armored warship, i.e., the armored warship with deputy commander Liu Yuan and Rain Demon, was attacked, this move was finally seen through. The first one to see through the disguise was the assassin Rain Demon. From the last night to the dawn, this old fellow had continuously sat cross-legged on the deck while cultivating with crystal clear raindrops floating around him. In the Oversea World, he was like a tiger that had grown wings. When the armored warship of Ye Chuan¡¯s group had just appeared at the distance, Rain Demon sensed the unusualness and he immediately snatched the horn of one guard and blew it to warn all soldiers. Ordinary soldiers were still confused. They were unable to clearly see what was going on, but Rain Demon was able to sense the aura of Ye Chuan, Sea Demon Patriarch and others. This surprise attack immediately changed into a full frontal war. Chapter 469: Dead end When the distance between these two armored warships was more than one thousand meters, the ballistae on both warships roared, opening a ferocious attack. Those heavy arrows that were as thick as a thigh had extremely terrifying destructive power. They would create a hole through a solid iron plate and hit people inside. That was very terrifying. The cultivators with Daoist Master realm cultivation could dodge them, the cultivators of Wuzhe realm and initial Xiushi realm didn¡¯t have such a fast reaction speed, they were hit by those arrows and either died or barely alive. Although there was a similar number of ballistae onboard, when it comes to the manipulation of these ballistae, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Bellowing Waves Sect were inferior to the trained soldiers of the opposite warship. Soon, the warship was riddled with holes and it swayed violently. But Ye Chuan still sat motionless in the secret room while cultivating. Now, he was testing whether Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and other followers could truly take charge or not. Moreover, since this battle had already developed to this stage, even if Ye Chuan personally stepped into this battle, there will not be much change. Meeting face to face on a narrow path, they should just face those ferocious ballistae head-on while rushing forward. And after they got close enough, they would have a hope to turn the tide. As long as they could reach within 100 meters, they could display the might of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows. On the sea, ripples closely followed behind the warship. The electric eel army led by Super Electric Eel was hiding in the water preparing a deadly attack, but without the suppression and cover of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, if they forcibly entered the battle, then they would certainly suffer heavy casualties. Even without the orders of Ye Chuan, Super Electric Eel also knew that it was not the time to enter the battle yet. At this moment, Zhu Sijia was feeling a heavy pressure. Since Ye Chuan had not come out from his seclusion cultivation, she was the leader of the numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Old Demon of Mount Yin commanded Yao Beast Legion. But, she was feeling far heavier pressure in her heart compared to the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. The shaking warship suddenly accelerated towards the opposite armored warship. Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t shrink back. Under her leadership, everyone emitted dense killing intent and advanced courageously. Even the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect who wanted to take revenge for the massacre of Bellowing Waves Island gathered at the bottom of the warship and desperately rowed the ship. Even without any supervision and urge, they used all their strength. The distance shrunk to 700 meters, the hull had already dozen or so holes; The distance shrunk to 500 meters, the numbers of holes on the hull reached over a hundred; The distance shrunk to 300, the hull showed a clear inclination and even water began to enter the cabins; ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. The soldiers manipulating ballistae on the armored warship crazily released heavy arrows. They wanted to forcibly bombard and sink the warship of Ye Chuan¡¯s group. Still, under the leadership of Zhu Sijia, the people advanced at full speed with strong momentum. When the distance between them shrunk to roughly 100 meters, already impatient disciples of Cloud Mist Sect poked out their heads from the cabins and initiated a fierce counterattack. Over one hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows roared practically at the same time. And the dense arrow rain came down in torrents along with whistling sounds. The soldiers standing on the deck of armored warship quickly fell one row after another. The heavy armor they wore was useless. Especially those soldiers who manipulated ballistae, they suffered the most ferocious attack. ¡°Endure, use arrows to counterattack, withstand for I, this commander!¡± The deputy commander Liu Yuan roared loudly, ordering the soldiers to fight back. Unfortunately, after the distance shrunk to 100 meters, the situation took a sudden unfavorable turn. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect occupied an absolute advantage. Under the suppression of Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, the soldiers basically couldn¡¯t raise their head let alone stand up and counterattack. In this helpless situation, they could only prepare to jump onto the other warship and fight the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect when these two warships collided. Liu Yuan was a very experienced commander and the soldiers onboard were also the very experienced elites under his leadership. Although the current situation was not good, no one was alarmed and bewildered, they just laid down their crossbows and pulled out their swords, preparing to fight more fiercely. Unfortunately, although their courage was very good, Zhu Sijia simply didn¡¯t give them an opportunity to show their courage. Crackle, crackle, crackle, suddenly, crackling sounds came from the sea below. The electric eel army under Super Electric Eel surfaced and jumped onto the armored warship in succession. Then, their terrifying lightning bolts rapidly spread through the entire warship forged with the iron peg. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± ¡°What is this? Where did these evil spirits come from?¡± The unprepared soldiers were basically unable to resist this attack. Even more terrifying matter was, there was no place to retreat in this armored warship that was forged with the iron peg. Lightning spread everywhere and the soldiers standing on the deck were electrocuted to death. Even inside the cabin, it was not safe and jumping into the sea was also a dead end. This sudden and unexpected lightning attack broke the fighting ability and morale of the soldiers. Soon, other than some Daoist Master realm experts, soldiers fell in succession. Next, the numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Bellowing Waves Sect began to board this warship and jointly attack to kill the surviving soldiers. This battle was a lot more difficult than the battle before, a sudden surprise attack changed to direct confrontation, but, without other armored warships to cooperate, this flagship suffered a similar fate. ¡°Kill!¡± The deputy commander Liu Yang commanded the remaining few bodyguards with red eyes. He also brandished the sword in his hand and cut a disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect into two. Now, his killing intent was soaring. Immediately after this battle had begun, he had crushed the message talisman to notify all other warships. According to common sense, they should have already rushed over here, but even until now, there was not a single armored warship at sight. There was only one explanation for this, all of them were already destroyed. More than a dozen accompanying warships were gone, and his flagship had also suffered a massacre, the entire army was completely wiped out. This made deputy commander Liu Yuan completely lose all his hopes. Even if he was able to escape with his life by luck and returned to Bellowing Waves Island, the great commander Lord Qi also wouldn¡¯t spare him, thus, returning back was also the road to ruin. Since he would die whatever he did, it was much better off to die in the battle! Liu Yuan who had no regard of life and death crazily killed everywhere he went like a mad yao beast. No one could stop him. With every slash, blood would spray. He didn¡¯t care about any injury he suffered and inflict heavy losses among the disciples of two sects. In the end, Old Demon of Mount Yin rushed forward and forcibly suppressed this fellow with his formidable powers. Soon, tough and tensile vines bound his limbs and he was caught alive. As for another great expert, assassin Rain Demon, seeing the situation was anything but reassuring, he suddenly jumped off the warship and ran away. Unlike deputy commander Liu Yuan, the identity and task of Rain Demon were different. This vanguard army had no relation to him. He didn¡¯t care even if the entire army was wiped out. His true value relied on his powerful cultivation base, excellent movement technique and the assassination technique that was hard to guard against. As long as he returned to Bellowing Waves Island, he would still be an honorable guest. At that time, a figure suddenly came out from behind a reef and blocked the path of Rain Demon. Ye Chuan who had been in seclusion cultivation had come out at an unknown time. He had been waiting for Rain Demon here after calculating his escaping path. Chapter 470: You are a fish, I am a knife When the fierce battle was occurring outside, Ye Chaun was in seclusion cultivation, but, although he had given all the power to Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, it didn¡¯t mean that he would not care completely about this matter. In order to make a plan to attack Bellowing Waves Island, let alone completely wiping out the troops under deputy commander Liu Yuan, he also needed to completely block the news. He absolutely cannot let anyone escape and inform the Bellowing Waves Island. Letting Rain Demon, this assassin, escape was even more impossible! The complexion of Rain Demon suddenly tightened. Seeing the appearance of Ye Chuan, he was very nervous. Clearly, his cultivation base was far higher than Ye Chuan and he would soon break through to Half-Sage realm, but he still didn¡¯t dare to look down upon Ye Chuan. He had long experienced the means of Ye Chuan, moreover, his background was even more terrifying. ¡°Your Excellency Rain Demon, we meet again.¡± Ye Chuan calmly looked at the assassin Rain Demon. He was completely indifferent without any killing intent as he said, ¡°Speaking about it, we are old friends, it is rare for us to meet face to face, leaving so quickly without even greeting, isn¡¯t that too unfriendly?¡± Along a pallid light, Zhu Sijia and others rushed over stepping on a flying sword. And along with ¡®kakaka¡¯ laughing sound, Old Demon Mount Yin also caught up. The fierce battle on the armored warship had already ended. Other than the commander Liu Yuan, all soldiers were wiped out. And seeing the assassin Rain Demon was stopped by Ye Chuan, people rushed over in succession and surrounded them. Even Plague Archfiend Abasi who feared water, although didn¡¯t dare to go into the sea, he was standing on the deck. Now, Rain Demon didn¡¯t have any route of retreat, he was blocked in all sides. ¡°Ye Chuan, what do you want to do?¡± Rain Demon lowered his voice. On this sea area, because of his unique technique, he was like a tiger that had grown wings. He could condense endless raindrop blades and forcibly break out of this encirclement. Even Old Demon of Mount Yin who was similarly a peak Daoist Master realm expert might not necessarily be able to stop him. But, Bellowing Waves Island was several hundred li away from this place, and if he tried to forcibly break through this encirclement, then he would definitely suffer serious injuries, and after suffering heavy injuries, it would be very difficult to get rid of the numerous experts under Ye Chuan! At this moment, more and more disciples of Cloud Mist Sect flew over here, and over a hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows were aimed at the assassin Rain Demon. Taking a look around and seeing those ferocious crossbows, the complexion of Rain Demon become even more unsightly and his heart sunk further. ¡°I want to do nothing, I just want to request you to have a cup of tea, what, are you willing?¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said. The calmer he was, all the more unpredictable he was. Upon hearing Ye Chuan, Rain Demon who used to wreak havoc everywhere became all the more nervous. If Ye Chuan had shouted he would attack and screamed he would kill, then he would have felt a bit better as if the worst comes to the worst, he would fight head-on until the dish dies or the net gets torn. But, seeing the current calm expression of Ye Chuan, he truly was too uncomfortable. He didn¡¯t dare to take the initiative to attack as he didn¡¯t have any certainty that he would be able to break out of this encirclement and escape with his life, thus, his heart was disturbed and he didn¡¯t know what to do. At that time, Rain Demon saw Tuoba Xiaoniao rushing over and he suddenly had a thought and explained, ¡°Noble son Ye, this is the matter between you and Lord Qi, it has nothing to do with me. Miss Tuoba was not captured by me and I also have never done anything to her. If you don¡¯t believe in me, then you can ask Miss Tuoba in person.¡± ¡°I am not saying you have something to do with the matter of Xiaoniao, why are you so nervous?¡± Ye Chuan calmly said without anger, happiness, grief and joy. Even very experienced Rain Demon was unable to tell what he was thinking, and was stunned upon hearing his words. At this moment, the famous assassin Rain Demon suddenly felt as if he was a fish on a chopping board. He had specially studied about how to kill people throughout his life, but now, he was in the opposite situation. He was waiting for how Ye Chuan would kill him in front of everyone. Rain Demon breathed heavily and his heart became all the more restless. After hesitating for a while, he took out an ancient book from his bosom and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, this is an Earth grade technique given to me by Qing Tianhou, Sea of Clouds and Misty Rain Secrets, I will give it to you as a gift, how about it?¡± Like people under the eaves had to lower their head, in order to survive, Rain Demon was forced to part reluctantly with what he treasured. The reason why he abandoned the freedom of the past and joined the army of Qing Tianhou, on the one hand, it was because of the intimidation and pressure of Qing Tianhou, and on the other hand, it was also because of this ancient technique, Sea of Clouds and Misty Rain Secrets. This was an ancient technique, but it was lost millions of years ago, he didn¡¯t know how it fell into the hands of Qing Tianhou. The essence of this technique was about cultivating in seaside and fully utilizing the might of the vast sea. After achieving success in cultivating this technique, one would be like a tiger that had grown wings in the sea area, and it just happened to complement the life technique of Rain Demon. As soon as Rain Demon saw this technique, he was unable to let go of it. Because of this technique, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time, breaking through to peak Daoist Master realm. Now, in order to save his life, he had to reluctantly take it out. ¡°Oh, earth grade technique?¡± Ye Chuan was a little surprise, then he calmed down, he didn¡¯t even look at the ancient book in the hands of Rain Demon. For an average cultivator, an earth grade technique was a priceless treasure, but for him who once was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, let alone earth grade techniques, even many heaven grade techniques wouldn¡¯t enter his eyes. He just said with a smile yet not a smile, ¡°Rain Demon, is this the treasure Qing Tianhou used to buy you? I am sorry, you can put it away, I never seize the beloved things of other people.¡± The words of Ye Chuan were beautiful. He was saying he wouldn¡¯t seize the beloved things of others, but even a fool could tell his meaning. He was not interested at all. Rain Demon who was prepared to reluctantly part with his treasure became pale and his limbs turned ice-cold. Since Ye Chuan was not interested in earth grade technique, it meant that he hoped to get something far above this technique. So, what else was more valuable than this technique on his body? Rain Demon looked pale as he asked himself what better thing he had. Only his life was more valuable than this technique. After hesitating again for a while, he looked at Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, I can swear to the heaven that I will immediately separate myself from Qing Tianhou and return to Sealed Sword Gu to live in seclusion, no longer bothering about the affairs of the world. I will never step into the mortal world from now on, how about it?¡± Rain Demon went all out. His words were no different from betraying Qing Tianhou. Even if he could leave safely today, he would face the attack of Qing Tianhou in the future. Everyone looked at Ye Chuan, thinking about how he would respond. Pressuring a peak Daoist Master realm expert to this extent without fighting, perhaps, only Ye Chuan had the ability and means to do so. Under the eyes of everyone, Ye Chuan shook his head and the heart of Rain Demon sunk further. ¡°Rain Demon, with such a good skill, if you live in seclusion and no longer step into the world just like this, then is that too pitiful?¡± Ye Chuan said. ¡°Noble son Ye, you mean¡­¡­ let me join your Cloud Mist Sect?¡± Rain Demon suddenly saw the light and finally understood the purpose of Ye Chuan, then he shook his head and said, ¡°Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!¡± Separating himself from Qing Tianhou and joining Ye Chuan¡¯s Cloud Mist Sect were two entirely different things. It was not that Rain Demon was unwilling, merely he had misgivings about the reaction of Qing Tianhou. Separating from the army, Qing Tianhou would only dispatch experts under him to hunt him, but if he joined Cloud Mist Sect, then Qing Tianhou might personally come after hearing the news. At that time, if he fell into the hands of Qing Tianhou, then he would suffer the fate where death is better than life! ¡°Nothing is impossible, Rain Demon, think carefully, you have only two choices, either die or join my Cloud Mist Sect, you don¡¯t have any other choice.¡± The tone of Ye Chuan was very calm, but it was very cold to Rain Demon. You are a fish, I am a knife! Ye Chuan was ferocious and overbearing, but no one could deny that he had the qualification to be overbearing here. Although his cultivation was not up to much, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Plague Archfiend, who was not a heaven-defying evil spirit? Moreover, who can stop the elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Yao Beast Legion? Rain Demon became pale and became silent for a long time. Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t urge, waited quietly, not anxious at all. Now, he had a well-thought-out plan, he wanted to recruit this very experienced Rain Demon with a unique technique. He already had Old Demon of Mount Yin, this kind of evil spirit, and also had Plague Archfiend Abasi and Super Electric Eel, this kind of powerful followers, now, he wanted to recruit a first-rate assassin. Of course, if Rain Demon was not sensible, he also didn¡¯t mind eliminating this hidden trouble. Rain Demon, this kind of first-rate assassin, if he couldn¡¯t be used, then he should be eliminated! Chapter 471: Heroic return Crash, the sound of sea waves reverberated the ears of people. The sky gradually brightened and even more disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Bellowing Waves Sect joined the ranks, completely surrounding Rain Demon. Outside this heavy blockade, there was a vast sea that stretched as far as the eye could see. Even a bird would be exhausted before it flew across this vast sea. At that moment, Rain Demon who had stood still without speaking for a long time suddenly moved. He didn¡¯t utter a word, directly turned around to break out of the encirclement. Moreover, he ferociously rushed towards Tuoba Xiaoniao, trying to catch Tuoba Xiaoniao as a hostage. Last night, Ye Chuan had risked his life save Tuoba Xiaoniao, this proved that the latter had a high position in his heart. If he captured Tuoba Xiaoniao and threaten, then he could force Ye Chuan to compromise and leave successfully. ¡°Block this fellow!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± Everyone shouted and intercepted in succession. The Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows in the hand of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect roared and hundreds of arrows instantly shot towards Rain Demon. The complexion of Rain Demon was cloudy. He met this rain of arrows head-on. Not only he didn¡¯t dodge, he instead increased his speed. Moreover, along with blue light glimmering around his body, raindrops condensed out of thin air, then these raindrops instantly changed into sharp water drop blades and spread around him along with whistling sounds, cutting and shaking off the arrows. An offense is the best defense! Rain Demon proved this saying. The ordinary raindrops could not only turn into a killing weapon, they could also turn into the most solid shield in his hands, blocking all attacks. A dozen or so disciples of Cloud Mist Sect standing in front of Tuoba Xiaoniao became nervous. They couldn¡¯t believe what they were seeing. They were stunned for a moment because they had never thought that this assassin Rain Demon was so ferocious. Even over a hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows were unable to stop him. A pallid light glimmered and another wave of raindrop blades whistled through the air towards those dozen or so disciples. Then, those a dozen or so disciples in front of Tuoba Xiaoniao let out a muffled groan and feel in succession. Some had their throat cut open and some had their stomach cut open. Tuoba Xiaoniao who was standing behind this crowd was startled and turned around to flee, unfortunately, she was too late, Rain Demon instantly arrived in front of her. No one had expected that Rain Demon would be so fierce all of a sudden, even Ye Chuan and Old Demon of Mount Yin had not time to intercept. ¡°Stay away from my daughter, scram!¡± A low, muffled voice suddenly resounded in the ears of everyone. Immediately afterward, along with a thunderous noise, a robust figure rushed out and ferociously hit Rain Demon with a huge cauldron. All the raindrop blades were also scattered. Now, a middle-aged man with a big beard who was more than two meters tall stood in front of Tuoba Xiaoniao. Tuoba Xiong who had been drinking alone in depression due to hopelessness had come behind this crowd at an unknown time. And at the critical moment, he made a move to block ferocious Rain Demon. ¡°Father¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao exclaimed in pleasant surprise. She was very excited, but her eyes turned red and tears flowed down her cheeks. Ye Chuan was also dumbfounded, then a hint of smile appeared on his face. In order to pull Tuoba Xiong together, Ye Chuan had thought of many ways, but all were useless. Unexpectedly, Tuoba Xiong stood out at this critical moment and displayed his style of that time when he dominated Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Heroes also had desolate time, fierce and ambitious person was also the same because of his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao. After not seeing any hope in saving his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao, he had given up on himself in despair, and now, also because of Tuoba Xiaoniao, he pulled himself together! ¡°Mmm, Xiaoniao, standing behind your father, don¡¯t move!¡± The trace of vicissitudes could be seen on his face, but now, his back was straight again as he stood in front of his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao. In terms of cultivation base, he was inferior to the assassin Rain Demon who was peak Daoist Master realm expert, but in order to protect Tuoba Xiaoniao, he would absolutely risk his life. If Rain Demon wants to capture his daughter, then he must walk through his corpse first! With the cultivation of Rain Demon, he could kill Tuoba Xiong, but the problem was, it would take time, however, did he have time now? Obviously now! The Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows in the hands of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect roared again and all other retreated in succession, opening an open space. Tuoba Xiong was also the same, he quickly retreated while protecting Tuoba Xiaoniao. In the midst of the rain of arrows, there were also flying swords shining with different colors. They whistled through the air wanting to stab the glabella, throat and other vital parts of Rain Demon. Zhu Sijia and other reacted quickly and ferociously attacked Rain Demon in succession. Around Rain Demon, countless raindrop blades appeared again and whistled towards those arrows and flying swords. Then, he roared gritting his teeth and turning around, he rushed towards Ye Chuan. To catch brigands, first catch their king, he tried to directly capture Ye Chuan first. Since he was obstructed and was unable to capture Tuoba Xiaoniao, Rain Demon thought of a daring plan. He wanted to capture Ye Chuan and become more ferocious! Suddenly, a red light flashed and huge banner appeared in the hands of Ye Chuan. He swung this banner and this banner chopped straight towards the head of Rain Demon along with fluttering sound. Instantly, a strong wind blew and sharp raindrop blades were not only unable to reach Ye Chuan, instead they were blown back. ¡°Rain Demon, come, let me see how skillful you are!¡± Ye Chuan said with dense killing intent. He didn¡¯t fear Rain Demon, instead the energy fluctuation within his body rose steadily with fighting spirit. Before intercepting Rain Demon, Ye Chuan was already prepared to fight. Although his spirit was heavily damaged and his cultivation was still far from his peak, with numerous treasures and followers, he was not afraid of Rain Demon at all. Although Rain Demon was powerful, when all was said and done, he was just a peak Daoist Master realm expert. He was far from reaching the point where he was able to easily crush and kill all Daoist Master realm experts. He had no chance to break out of this encirclement today. Even if Half-Sage realm Lord Qi was here in his place, he might be in the same plight. He would still be trapped and captured alive. ¡°Kill!¡± Rain Demon shouted angrily and advanced straight towards Ye Chuan. Then, with a single punch, the Iron Blooded Banner in his hand was sent flying. Just a single collision separated the winner and loser. Ye Chuan who had yet to heal his spirit was far from being the opponent of Rain Demon. But, Rain Demon also could only do this, it was impossible to capture Ye Chuan. In the next moment, before he had time to follow up a victory with hot pursuit, an extremely dangerous aura came from the side. Turning around to look, he saw thousands of strange vines whistling towards him like a fierce snake. ¡°Kakaka, old man, your opponent is me! Come and offer your qi, blood and essence energy to this Great Rhodes, kakaka¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and rushing over, the two people came into blows. The techniques of these two people were unique, one could condense raindrop blades out of thin air to attack and the other could summon countless vines. And since both of them were peak Daoist Master realm experts, they were locked together in a struggle. Chapter 472: You have no choice A fierce battle unfolded in front of everyone. Rain Demon and Old Demon of Mount Yin fought while riding the sea was and sometimes even while floating in the air. Both of them were very experienced, both of them were peak Daoist Master realm experts and their temperament was also fierce. Each move they made was fatal. Soon, both sides were injured and blood dyed their war robe red. The attack of Rain Demon was powerful. Each attack was sinister and fatal. As for Old Demon of Mount Yin, his offense and defense were balanced, but he could summon that one strange vine to attack, retreat and guard. At this moment, both sides were unable to display their true might. The surprise attack of Rain Demon and chaotic group battle of Old Demon of Mount Yin were unavailable at this moment. The direct and frontal attack was not the specialty of these two, so this battle wouldn¡¯t end in a short time. ¡°It is already long enough, attack together!¡± Seeing both Rain Demon and Old Demon of Mount Yin were injured and slowed down after a while, Ye Chuan ordered. He held Iron Blooded Banner and personally led everyone to join the battle. The situation of the battle quickly changed. Just in front of very experienced Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon was just able to keep up, now that Ye Chuan and others had joined the battle, the pressure immediately multiplied. What was worse was, he saw Plague Archfiend Abasi on the deck of the armored warship. He was prepared to join the battle at any time. A Half-Sage realm expert! If he suddenly rushed to join the battle, then how should he deal with him? The heart of Rain Demon sunk and become very nervous. Even though Plague Archfiend Abasi had not joined the battle in person, just his presence alone greatly pressured Rain Demon. Soon, under the siege of Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, the injuries of Rain Demon increased. He was unable to run away even if he wanted to. Not long after, his breathing became disorderly and he was unable to stand stably on the sea surface. ¡°Ye Chuan, attacking me alone with so many people, aren¡¯t you ashamed?¡± After failing to break out of this encirclement for several times, Rain Demon was already gasping for breath, and while dodging the attacks of people, he shouted in anger and ferociously glared at Ye Chuan. ¡°What a joke, when you go to assassinate your target, you suddenly attacked them in secret, aren¡¯t you ashamed?¡± Ye Chuan sneered. Not only he didn¡¯t stop, he also led everyone to attack even more ferociously. Who was he? He was once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, what kind of people he had not seen, he naturally wouldn¡¯t fall into the trap of Rain Demon. ¡°Rain Demon, either serve me or die, you choose! If you have no sense of propriety and cling obstinately to your course, then I will help you fulfill your aim!¡± Ye Chuan wanted to recruit Rain Demon like first-rate expert, but if Rain Demon continued to be so obstinate, he also wouldn¡¯t be soft-hearted! ¡°Brat, I will kill you!¡± Rain Demon roared angrily and he suddenly rushed towards Ye Chuan regardless of his safety. It appeared as if he wanted to perish together with Ye Chuan. But, before he reached in front of Ye Chuan, he suddenly turned around in high speed to break out of this encirclement, trying to fly away from here. ¡°Rain Demon, it¡¯s useless, I have already made preparation for this trick!¡± Ye Chuan sneered and suddenly a tentacle-like whip whistled towards Rain Demon and binding his legs, he was slammed onto the sea. But, Rain Demon didn¡¯t panic, he suddenly displayed the quick reaction of a first-rate assassin. He suddenly clapped his hands and a raindrop changed into raindrop blade and chopped off the tentacle-like whip binding his legs. Next, he erupted with all the energy within his body and just when he was about to burst out of the sea surface and make an escape, a hint of light flashed before his eyes. In the vast sea, an electric eel that was roughly as long as a chopstick appeared. It appeared as if this electric eel had not long to live and was just an ordinary electric eel, but the hair all over the body of Rain Demon stood erect as he instinctively felt a strong danger. At that time, he recalled the scene of thousands of electric eels jumping onto the warship and massacring the soldiers. Crackle! Along with a jarring sound, countless bolts of lightning appeared within the radius of ten meters. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Rain Demon screamed in pain, then his body became stiff and numb. He was almost burned to coke by this lightning. After the fierce battle of Old Demon of Mount Yin, he was ferociously attacked by Ye Chuan and others, thus he was already dripping with blood and exhausted. In such a state, he encountered Super Electric Eel in water, the result was catastrophic. The Super Electric Eel had arrived just in time. Stiff Rain Demon who was seriously injured was quickly brought to the armored warship. After this warship was bombarded with ballistae, there were holes everywhere, but the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect had repaired it. Although it was not strong enough to storm into Bellowing Waves Island, just sailing on the sea was no problem. Pa! Rain Demon was heavily thrown onto the hard deck by a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. Due to the numbness, Rain Demon still couldn¡¯t move, but he was still sober. Looking up, he saw disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and Bellowing Waves Sect looking at him with dense killing intent. Some were even raising their glimmering swords, preparing to attack. They were itching to rush forward and cut him into pieces. If it was not for Ye Chuan stopping them, then he would have already died long ago. Not far away, deputy commander Liu Yuan was tied up. His cultivation was also sealed. Now, he was pitifully kneeling on the ground. Behind him, there were two disciples of Cloud Mist Sect holding a huge ax. It appeared as if he would be executed on the spot. ¡°Your Excellency, spare my life, Your Excellency, spare my life, I surrender, I can swear allegiance to you¡­¡­¡± Seeing the figure of Ye Chuan, Liu Yuan loudly begged for mercy. He even crawled and rolled over in tears and nasal mucus. Then, knocked his head on the ground. In the past, as the deputy commander under Lord Qi, he had a commanding presence, but now, he was just like a stray cur. Now, he had two choices, either beg mercy to Ye Chuan, or become food for fishes. It was not that Liu Yuan didn¡¯t have moral integrity, rather at the critical juncture of life and death, who cares about dignity and grace? ¡°It is not impossible, but, what do you have?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t answer directly and said while preparing to walk away indifferently, ¡°Want to pledge loyalty to me, not everyone has that qualification, a yao beast might have a big bigger change. What about you, Liu Yuan? If you pledge loyalty to me, not only there is no benefit and no earth grade technique, on the contrary, I will suffer many losses. First, swallow this poison pill to express your loyalty or go to Nether World and continue to be the deputy commander.¡± Ye Chuan causally took out a dark red pill with a faint fragrance. It didn¡¯t look like a poison, but ever since ancient times, Cloud Mist Sect had been good at refining pills. This might be a very poisonous pill. ¡°No, Your Excellency, please spare my life¡­¡­, I am willing to swallow this pill, I can fight for you, I can help you row this warship, tell you many intelligence on the army under Qing Tianhou, lead you to kill on Bellowing Waves Island¡­¡­ Liu Yuan didn¡¯t even think, he said everything in one breath for fear that Ye Chuan would deem that him useless. If that happened, then his life would end. ¡°The idea of rowing the boat is not bad, I have never made a deputy commander row the warship, I want to see how effective it is. Perhaps, it might be faster than those slaves. Hey, take him away for me.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and signaled Little Long¡¯er to untie begging Liu Yuan and casually threw the pill on his hand to him. Then, turning around, he looked at Rain Demon who couldn¡¯t move and said, ¡°Rain Demon, what about you? Last chance, pledge loyalty to me or become the fish food? You choose. If you are willing, then nod your head and swallow this pill, unwilling, then also fine. This poison pill will not be wasted. It is very troublesome to refine this poison pill.¡± Ye Chuan looked at Rain Demon and appeared as if he wanted to walk away. ¡°Ye¡­¡­, noble son Ye, you are more ruthless than Qing Tianhou!¡¯ Rain Demon exhaled. He was unwilling to join Cloud Mist Sect, merely, at this moment, did he have any choice? Obviously not. Joining Qing Tianhou, he could still leave the battle and escape, and when the worst comes to the worst, he could think of a way to die from the pursuit of experts under Qing Tianhou, but with the means of Ye Chuan, he absolutely wouldn¡¯t have such opportunity! Chapter 473: Major inauspicious sign After thinking over and over again, Rain Demon had no choice but to lower his head and pledge allegiance like the deputy commander Liu Yuan. People had to bow under the eaves. Rain Demon was unwilling in his heart, but like Ye Chuan had said, he had no choice. A fierce battle came fast and also went away fast. The vanguard army under the lead of deputy commander Liu Yuan was completely wiped out leaving behind only himself and Rain Demon. More than a dozen armored warships shank together with the corpses onboard, disappearing into the bottom of the sea without a trace. Using the negligence of soldiers and the cover of dense night, everyone destroyed the enemy one by one, routing the elites under Qing Tianhou. This battle was a big victory. The moral boost due to this victory was irreplaceable. From Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin to the ordinary disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, all were very excited and full of fighting spirit. In this battle, more than 200 disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect were rescued. They and the group of Li Dingxi excitedly hugged each other and were eager to fight. They couldn¡¯t wait to immediately kill over to Bellowing Waves Island. They were even more excited compared to the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. When everyone was celebrating this victory, Ye Chuan however was even calmer. He ordered to pull back 200 li away and led everyone to look for another nameless deserted island to settle down. This was a remote island. According to the old map passed down in Sea Demon Clan, it just so happen to locate on the third ring wave of that big ear-shaped whirlpool. Moreover, this island was 700 li away from Bellowing Waves Island which was the entrance to the Lost City. With such distance, those armored warships would take at least several hours even if they travel in full speed. In addition, they wouldn¡¯t be able to discover them easily. At the same time, it was also not a big distance, when needed, they could quickly hurry over to Bellowing Waves Island. After docking the warship, everyone got busy. Even without the instruction of Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia took the initiative to take authority and began commanding people to set up a temporary campsite. She also sent elite disciples all around to scout and lay out the line of defense. In less than two hours, a simple campsite was made. But, the most important thing wasn¡¯t watchtowers, rather a very big alchemy room. After commanding people, Zhu Sijia quickly busied herself in refining Five Step Fragrance. This time, other than Little Long¡¯er, she called up many disciples of Cloud Mist Sect to refine this poison. The vanguard army under Qing Tianhou was already dealt with. Now, they had to think of a way to deal with Lord Qi who had forcibly occupied Bellowing Waves Island as well as the army under him. To deal with small units, they could fully utilize the weather and favorable geographical position to destroy one by one. But, this strategy wouldn¡¯t work to deal with over 200,000 soldiers. They needed a better strategy. After learning the entrance to Lost City was in the middle of Bellowing Waves Island, moreover, just happened to be in the enemy campsite, Ye Chuan decisively gave up the former plan of sending just a small squad. There were many experts around Lord Qi, so sending just a small squad was no different from sending them to death. He feared that they wouldn¡¯t even be able to reach the military camp. When everyone was busy, Ye Chuan however was cultivating far away from the campsite. He sat cross-legged on a reef by himself, facing the sea while cultivating quietly. It would appear that he was alone with no guards around, and he was completely defenseless when he was cultivating. At this moment, even a slightly better assassin could kill him. But, if one looked carefully, one could notice unusual sea waves on the sea nearby, moreover, a hint of lightning would flash occasionally. Under the sea surface, Super Electric Eel leading a big group of electric eels was swimming around. They were paying close attention to their surroundings. If someone wants to sneak attack Ye Chuan who was cultivating while sitting on the reef hiding under the sea, then there was only one consequence, i.e., being burned into a coke. Three days quickly passed. Zhu Sijia and others were still busy, but Ye Chuan who was sitting cross-legged cultivating on the reef slowly opened his eyes. After three days of cultivation, although his spirit was not completely recovered, it was much better. Now, with some more cultivating couple with taking specially made pills, it was expected to be completely healed before the war. But, for some reason, Ye Chuan woke up automatically, and his heart was restless. He couldn¡¯t calm down his heart and cultivate. In addition, he vaguely felt ill at ease. ¡°On the eve of the battle, my cultivation broke off without cause, could it be¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan took out a tortoise-shell and used an ancient technique. Slowly, the ancient tortoise-shell shook and glimmered with radiance. In addition, an ancient aura of vicissitude rippled and the surrounding air distorted. Shell Stealing Heaven Technique! Ye Chuan circulated Heaven Swallowing Technique within his body and used an ancient technique. This was one branch of the legendary ancient Prophecy Technique. According to the legend, after achieving success in the cultivation of this technique, one could thoroughly understand, past, present and future, becoming the master of fate. In order to obtain his technique, in the past, Ye Chuan had spent a lot of manpower and resources. Even he himself nearly lost his life. In the end, he obtained this technique in one ominous place by luck. Unfortunately, even after cultivating this technique, he never comprehended the essence. He could only calculate odd bits. The radiance of the tortoise-shell flourished more and more. Finally, after the sudden tremor, it stopped and seven drops of blood appear on that tortoise-shell. The appearance of blood represented inauspicious, the appearance of seven drops of blood in succession represent very inauspicious! The heart of Ye Chuan shook and became heavy. The battle of Bellowing Waves Island was about to commence, the appearance of such a major inauspicious sign at this time was absolutely not something good. Was this responding to Lord Qi, or¡­¡­ Ye Chuan though to pry even more secrets, but the blood on the tortoise-shell slowly dissipated. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, big brother Ye Chuan¡­¡­¡± A demonic dragon whistled towards him from afar and suddenly changing into the appearance of Little Long¡¯er, he landed in front of Ye Chuan, ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, the sea dragon boat has returned, and the old man wants you to rush over. It seems that there is an urgent matter.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan stood up and crossed more than 20 meters in a single step. He rushed straight towards the campsite at high speed. Behind him, Little Long¡¯er transformed into a dragon and chased after him, but he was unable to catch up even after accelerating to his full speed. After the repeated cultivation sessions, although Ye Chuan had yet to make a breakthrough and there was no sign of condensing tenth Heaven Swallowing Talisman, moreover, his spirit had not recovered completely, his body however seemed to have become even more doughty and his speed had become faster. Even Little Long¡¯er who excel at speed could only eat the dust behind. This time, what news did the sea dragon boat bring back? Was it something good or something bad? Ye Chuan at full speed was even faster than flying swords. Before Liu Yuan leading the vanguard army had attacked, he had especially made the warriors of Sea Demon Clan go out to perform another task. They were responsible to scout the situation around the big ear-shaped whirlpool. Since Sea Demon Patriarch had hastily sent Little Long¡¯er to find him, they clearly had got some news, but he didn¡¯t know whether that was good or bad news. Thinking of the major inauspicious sign of just a moment ago, the heart of Ye Chuan became heavier. This island was not big, very soon, the campsite appeared in his sight. But, even before he had reached there, he could hear bursts of exclamation coming from the campsite, accompanied by a deep and powerful roar, seemingly, a ferocious yao beast had appeared in the campsite. Ye Chuan who already was restless became nervous and then accelerated gritting his teeth. Chapter 474: Gnu Alligator After flying into the campsite, Ye Chuan was dumbfounded. In the middle of the campsite, there was a stone pillar, and a monster was tied around that stone pillar. Its build couldn¡¯t be considered big, roughly was the size of a calf. But, it had an ox head, horse face and tiger waist. Its tail was coarse, short and powerful. As for the legs, it had four alligator legs. It was grotesque and very unique in appearance. At this moment, its legs and body were tightly tied up. But, it was still struggling while roaring. Its strength was much higher than ordinary cattle, its struggling swayed the stone pillar. ¡°Your Excellency!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother!¡± Seeing the figure of Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia and others greeted him in succession. Sea Demon Patriarch was also here. At this moment, this old man who had a lot of life experience was also frowning. ¡°What yao beast is this?¡± Ye Chuan asked. Even after searching through the memories of his previous life, he still couldn¡¯t recognize it, moreover, he had never even heard of it. Zhu Sijia and others also shook their head in succession and no one replied. They just knew that this yao beast was captured and brought back by sea demon warriors. They didn¡¯t know anything else. The sea demon warriors also didn¡¯t speak as they didn¡¯t know what monster this was. But, they told Ye Chuan very bad news. In the west side of that big ear-shaped whirlpool, there were numerous such monsters. They could run on the ground and also could move long-distance under water. When everyone was thinking of a way to deal with the vanguard army under Qing Tianhou, sea demon warriors were ordered to go away and they had one mission, explore the terrain just outside the big ear-shaped whirlpool and gather all kinds of intelligence. The fact proved that this measure was extremely important. According to the report of sea demon warriors, other than powerful and dynamic Qing Tianhou, there were many unknown forces around the big ear-shaped whirlpool. There were people lurking on nearby islands in twos and threes and there were also people in a large group sailing on all kinds of boats, hiding among the reefs. Although their whereabouts was secret, all were going towards Bellowing Waves Island. Obviously, they all came to try forcibly enter the Lost City like Qing Tianhou. The speed of the sea dragon boat was very fast. After ascertaining the circumstances of the periphery of the big ear-shaped whirlpool, sea demon warriors continued to expand the range of surveillance. As a result, on the west side of this big ear-shaped whirlpool, they discovered these monsters. Then, they captured one fellow and returned in haste to notify. Ye Chuan squatted down and carefully observed the monster bound to the stone pillar. This monster struggled even more fiercely, and glaring at Ye Chuan with its red eyes, it revealed a mouthful of sharp teeth and roared. It had a violent temperament, and its sharp claws left behind deep claw marks on the ground and stone pillar. It had coarse skin, thick flesh and shark claws with innately superhuman strength. It was an amphibian savage beast. Moreover, it seemed that it could at least easily kill initial stage Xiushi realm cultivators. In a one on one fight, it was much more powerful than Evil Eyed Cow Demon of his Yao Beast Legion. ¡°Your Excellency, be careful, don¡¯t let the claws of this monster injure you.¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi also walked over and looking at this strange-looking monster, he said, ¡°Many years ago, when I was traveling through the world beyond the highest heaven, I once heard of a kind of similar monster, it was called Gnu Alligator. Allegedly, they belonged to one of the subdivisions of alligator, but their disposition was more ferocious and they like to stay in a damp and dark place. Sometimes, they could hibernate for hundreds of years, but just a rustle of leaves in the wind could wake them up. They like to live in groups. Often, they are subdued by powerful people to use them for guarding their cave dwelling or treasures.¡± Gnu Alligator? People began to make all sorts of comments and the more they watched this yao beast, the more they felt that this it truly resemble an alligator a bit. ¡°But, if this yao beast came from the world beyond the highest heaven, how come there are so many of them?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch objected with a frown. The space of this Wilderness World was truly not very stable. The occasional appearance of a few experts or yao beasts of the world beyond the highest heaven was very normal, but the sudden appearance of innumerable yao beasts of the world beyond the highest heaven, this was not normal. According to the map passed down in Sea Demon Clan, the space around this big ear-shaped whirlpool was very stable and also had ancient restrictions. There was no marking of the passage to the world beyond the highest heaven. ¡°It is possible that these Gnu Alligators swam all the way over here from far away, and it is also possible that they came here from some transmission formation or from the world beyond the highest heaven directly via time and space rift. Any world, including Wilderness World, is not eternal and unchangeable. Impregnable without a crack today doesn¡¯t mean that it will never be wrecked by time and space storm and a huge time and space rift might appear in the future.¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi answered. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, map!¡± Ye Chuan instructed Little Long¡¯er to take out a map, then spreading it out, he observed it and solemnly said, ¡°Where are these Gnu Alligator located now?¡± ¡°At that time, we discovered these Gnu Alligators at this place.¡± A sea demon warrior walked over and pointing at one little dot outside the big ear-shaped whirlpool, added, ¡°According to the direction and speed of those Gnu Alligators, now, they should be roughly around here. If they continued without changing direction, then they will go across the big-ear whirlpool from west to east.¡± ¡°Noble son Ye, will these Gnu Alligators cause any trouble for our operation?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch asked with some worry looking at Ye Chuan. In order to capture this one Gnu Alligator, two sea demon warriors were seriously injured. These Gnu Alligators were extremely ferocious. Now, these Gnu Alligators moving in crowds when the restriction of Lost City just happened to be weakened, this naturally made him worried. ¡°No, even if they truly cause trouble, it would not be us.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and didn¡¯t speak further as he thought of a bold plan. Zhu Sijia vaguely guessed the plan of Ye Chuan and asked: ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you mean¡­¡­, led these Gun Alligators to Bellowing Waves Island?¡± ¡°Yes, this is a heaven-sent chance, isn¡¯t there the army of 200,000 at Bellowing Waves Island? Let¡¯s make them fight with these yao beasts to death!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. The sudden appearance of so many yao beasts nearby also puzzled Ye Chuan. He wondered what was going on and vaguely felt ill at ease in his heart. But now, instead of investigating where these Gnu Alligators came from, it was even more important to think of a way to inflict heavy losses to the army under Qing Tianhou. He paused for a bit and asked, ¡°Jiajia, how is the refining of Five Step Fragrance going?¡± ¡°We have already refined more than 300 bottles of Five Step Fragrance. There is still a small part of medicinal herbs remaining, merely¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia replied. To completely refine the remaining herbs into Five Step Fragrance, they needed at least two more days. ¡°That¡¯s enough, hand over all of them to the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect, Li Dianxi, I will leave next step to you.¡± Ye Chuan instructed and looked at Li Dianxi who was standing among the crowd of Bellowing Waves Sect¡¯s disciples. ¡°We obey your command, Your Excellency, rest assured, as long as we can exterminate the army of Qing Tianhou and avenge ourselves, even the last remaining disciple of my Bellowing Waves Sect will also fight to the last drop of the blood!¡± Li Dianxi bowed and took the order. ¡°Noble son Ye, then how will you lead Gnu Alligators to Bellowing Waves Island?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch asked, roughly understanding the plan of Ye Chuan. Leading the yao beast tide to Bellowing Waves Island, and at the same time, secretly getting touch with all the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect in all armored warships, then using extremely corrosive Five Fragrant Step to corrode through the bottom of the ship, these moves were sufficiently ruthless. If they succeeded, then they would inflict heavy losses to the army of Qing Tianhou, or even the entire army of 200,000 would be annihilated, but was it easy to succeed? ¡°I have my own way.¡± Ye Chuan whispered some instructions in the ear of Zhu Sijia and the latter showed a knowing smile, then commanded everyone to get into action. The soldiers separated two ways. Li Dingxi led the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect and left bringing along all Five Step Fragrance. Next, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon soldiers boarded another armored warship and sea dragon boat respectively, heading towards the location of Gnu Alligators. Chapter 475: Yao beast wave Towards evening, everyone arrived at an unfamiliar sea area. This place was roughly 70 li northwest to Bellowing Waves Island. According to the estimation of sea demon warriors, the group of Gnu Alligators that had appeared in the west of Bellowing Waves Island would soon pass through here. They stopped the boat and a dozen or so sea demon warriors jumped into the water and spread out to scout the situation around. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect also spread out stepping on their flying sword under the leadership of Old Demon of Mount Yin. But, compared to sea demon warriors, even though they stuck close to the sea surface, they would easily give away their positions. Hoverer, they were much faster and could scout a greater range within a shorter period of time. Various kinds of information were continuously sent back. The first person to return with information was a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, ¡°Report¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, within the radius of 10 li, there is no enemy patrolling vessel!¡± ¡°Go to scout again, tell Rhodes to expand the range to 30 li. If the hidden lookout of Qing Tianhou army is found, destroy it on the spot!¡± Ye Chuan ordered sitting cross-legged on the deck. ¡°Yes!¡± This scout stepped on the flying sword and flew out sticking close to the sea surface and disappeared instantly into the horizon. The sea dragon boat and captured armored warship quietly floated on the sea surface. And in the cabin of these ships, people were quietly storing up their energy sitting cross-legged while waiting for the upcoming battle. Ye Chuan also closed his eyes and rest. His withdrew his energy fluctuation and aura. He also retracted his divine sense. After his spirit was wounded, he was especially careful. He didn¡¯t dare to casually spread out his divine sense say nothing of letting out his spirit. Now, in such a critical moment, if his injury worsened, then that would be anything but reassuring. Even within the radius of 20 li, they didn¡¯t see any sign of enemy patrolling vessels. This was well within the expectation of Ye Chuan. The army under Qing Tianhou had sealed off the entire sea area of that big ear-shaped whirlpool. They must have also discovered the whereabouts that group of Gnu Alligators. Thus, being shrewd and crafty, Lord Qi naturally had withdrawn the armored warships along the way to avoid alarming this group of Gnu Alligators. Those armored warships were huge and they would easily give away their positions, so he had withdrawn them, but it was impossible for him to withdraw completely. Instead, he might have dispatched people to closely follow the movement of this group of Gnu Alligators. And these people shouldn¡¯t be very alert. Sure enough, not long after, sea demon warriors and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect brought back the news of victory. Within the radius of 30 li, they discovered many lookouts of Qing Tianhou army. Some were on speedboats and some were hiding in nameless deserted islands. There were even some who were hiding on small reefs that protruded out of the sea water. Unfortunately, although they didn¡¯t alarm the crowd of Gnu Alligators, sea demon warriors and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect destroyed them. And especially sea demon warriors, they were like a tiger that had grown wings in water. They suddenly jump out of the sea surface and killed numerous unguarded soldiers. Most of these lookouts were ordinary soldiers. Although they were agile and brave, most of them had low cultivation base. Therefore, encountering power experts including Old Demon of Mount Yin, they were wiped out. Since the attention of these soldiers was focused on that group of Gnu Alligators, they basically were unable to react to the surprise attack of Ye Chuan¡¯s group, as a result, they were completely eradicated. ¡°Kakaka, report¡­¡­¡± After an hour, Old Demon of Mount Yin returned in person and reported, ¡°Your Excellency, all hidden lookouts within the radius of 30 li are removed, and those Gnu Alligators are about to arrive!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily. Since the big battle was about to arrive, others were nervous, he however was especially excited. Slaughtering had always been the best shortcut to cultivate for him! Old Demon of Mount Yin yearned for a large-scale war and also yearned for stronger strength. From the time when he was still a small vine yao, he had slaughtered to become the current yao beast. The more enemies he killed, the more essence blood, qi and energy he could devour. Now, he was already at peak Daoist Master realm, and he aspired to breakthrough to Half-Sage realm. A Half-Sage realm vine yao, even if he was still in Five Fingered Buddhist Cave, he could become the overlord of a region! Just thinking about it, Old Demon of Mount Yin was very excited. ¡°Very good, continue to maintain vigilance, and now, expand the range to 70 li and also pay close attention to the movement of Bellowing Waves Island. In addition, keep in touch with Li Dianxi.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and instructed. Since the time he had tamed this Old Demon of Mount Yin, he had saved a lot of effort. There was Zhu Sijia to take care of the internal affairs of the sect and Yao Beast Legion and there was Old Demon of Mount Yin to massacre outside leading the Yao Beast Legion. With the great assistance of these two people, he was able to take out more time to cultivate and concentrate his energy on dealing with more formidable enemies. ¡°This subordinate has already made an arrangement, Your Excellency, you can rest assured.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin replied. Ye Chuan suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance. At the horizon, a wave suddenly appeared. This wave was black in color. It surged like a tsunami which was accompanied by a heaven-shaking roar. ¡°Came, it¡¯s that group of Gnu Alligators!¡± ¡°Heavens, how many yao beasts are there?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The people who originally were sitting inside the cabin rushed out simultaneously to the deck, and upon seeing this group of Gnu Alligators, each and everyone exclaimed. As this group of Gnu Alligators got closer and closer, they were so thickly dotted that the end couldn¡¯t be seen. Innumerable Gnu Alligators were gushing forth along with the sea waves with earth-shaking momentum. At first glance, there were at least over one million Gnu Alligators squeezed together, charging around violently. Let alone armored warships, even if a mountain was in front of them, it might be knocked down! This, this was yao beast wave! Ye Chuan suddenly stood up. He was shocked upon seeing this tide of Gnu Alligators. In his past life when he dominated Wilderness World, he had also seen powerful yao beast waves, but they had occurred in uninhabited lofty ridges and towering mountains. He could only see them vaguely from far away. But, this was the first time he saw a yao beast tide from such a close proximity in the sea. Because of the vastness of the sea as well as the sea waves, this yao beast tide looked even more amazing! ¡°Ye¡­¡­, noble son Ye, what should we do now?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch nervously asked. Even though he had lived in the vast sea for his entire lifetime, this was still his first time to see such a huge yao beast wave. With millions of Gnu Alligators rushing forward, who could stop them? The people of both ships were anxious. Regardless of sea demon warriors who were proficient in swimming or elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, all involuntarily became nervous. Originally, they were discussing about how to lead the group of Gnu Alligators to Bellowing Waves Island. But now, upon seeing how big this yao beast wave was, they were uncertain in their heart. They were panic-stricken and disturbed. A slight carelessness and let alone leading these Gnu Alligators to Bellowing Waves Island, instead, they would be swallowed by this yao beast wave! At that time, a huge banner suddenly appeared in the hands of Ye Chuan. And circulating nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, his energy fluctuation rose steadily and he roared. He then flew straight towards the approaching yao beast wave, ¡°Little Long¡¯er, follow me!¡± Roar! A powerful dragon roar resounded. Little Long¡¯er transformed into a dragon and closely followed Ye Chuan. One dragon one human advanced bravely to fight side by side. This moment resembled that time when they had explored Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm together. ¡°Kakaka, Your Excellency, I am also here!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin roared with laughter. When others were nervous and sweating profusely, he however voluntarily followed Ye Chuan without any hesitation. Chapter 478: Deadly killing weapon In front of this beast group¡¯s attack, everyone only had one thought in their mind, that was ¡®flee¡¯! With over a million Gnu Alligators rushing over from all direction like a wave, they didn¡¯t even need to attack. They could just squeeze and drown the group of Ye Chuan, suffocating them to the death. Ye Chuan made a prompt decision and led everyone deeper inside the sea to break out of this encirclement. First, they dived down vertically, then after diving down roughly 30 meters, they swam horizontally at their fastest speed towards the sea dragon boat. This distance of 30 meters was just right. If the diving distance was not enough, then they might not be able to break out of the encirclement of this beast group; but, if they dived down further, then the sea pressure would be too big. Although sea demon warriors who lived in the sea since their childhood would be fine, the ordinary disciples of Cloud Mist Sect wouldn¡¯t be able to endure. Almost without thinking over, Ye Chuan instantly made the right choice. Those Gnu Alligators roared loudly and dived down in succession to surround everyone, but, although their number was very large, they were too late to thoroughly block off the sea area. Ye Chuan and others smoothly break out of the encirclement from under the water and they sprang out of the sea surface 30 meters away from this group of Gnu Alligators. ¡°Jiajia, take one-fifth to the sea dragon boat and prepare to provide reinforcement. As for others, board the armored warship and set off to Bellowing Waves Island!¡± Ye Chuan took a deep breath and ordered Zhu Sijia to leave with everyone. He however stopped there. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, then you¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia also took a big mouthful of breath. Even she was unable to adapt to the pressure of 30 meters under the water. The farther away from the sea surface, the darker and colder it was in the water. In addition, they were being chased by that beast group. This made everyone very nervous. ¡°Quickly leave!¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have much time to speak. He wielded Iron Blooded Banner, and with a thought, he ordered super electric eel to lead numerous electric eels to bring up the rear. The lineup of this beast group was already in chaos and Gnu Alligator King was thoroughly enraged. This meant that Ye Chuan had already accomplished the first objective. But, in order to completely implement his plan, this was not enough. He needed to enrage Gnu Alligator King further. In front of this beast group that was gushing over like a tide, it was almost impossible to escape forcibly, but how to escape? This was also a skill. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you must be careful!¡± Zhu Sijia gritted her teeth and after taking a final look at that group of beasts, she firmly turned around and left with everyone. Countless Gnu Alligators sprang out from under the water and under the leadership of Gnu Alligator King, they were very ferocious and fast. This distance of 30 meters, a normal person needed to swim for a good while to cover it, but these Gnu Alligators only needed the time of a few breaths. Therefore, if they don¡¯t leave now, then it would be too late! Zhu Sijia was very worried about the safety of Ye Chuan, but it was an urgent situation, she didn¡¯t have much time to think. But, just after she left, crackling sounds came from behind her. She turned around and saw a wide expanse of the sea area was filled with lightning. Gnu Alligators wailed mournfully and collapsed row after row. The super electric eel showed its might again. The water had multiplied the might of its lightning! In this vast sea, this little fellow had become the greatest killing weapon of Ye Chuan. Roar! A thunderous roar resounded again. Gnu Alligator King was very furious. In that moment, all the Gnu Alligators around him were already electrocuted and sunk, some were even burned to coke. Only it was still full of vim and vigor, but, black smoke was curling up from its body. It also hadn¡¯t escaped unscathed. With a roar, it led beast group again and rushed over at a faster speed, wanting to tear Ye Chuan into shreds and devour his flesh and blood! Originally, Gnu Alligator King leading this beast group was only passing through this sea area, but now it was thoroughly enraged by Ye Chuan. With a crash, it plunged into the sea wave and jumping towards Ye Chuan, it ferociously attacked head-on. As for Ye Chuan, he brandished the Iron Blooded Banner in his hands, and along with the collision, a muffled sound resounded and Ye Chuan was sent flying. His perlicue was torn and the Iron Blooded Banner also nearly slipped out of his hands. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t seem to be injured seriously. This made Zhu SIjia sighed out in relief. At that time, something unexpected suddenly happened. Gnu Alligator King didn¡¯t move, it just suddenly opened its mouth and a white light shot out towards Ye Chuan at lightning speed. What is that? A tongue? The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk, he could vaguely see what thing was attacking. This tongue was too fast, it was even a bit faster than his Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. He unexpectedly had no time to dodge. In the blink of an eye, this tongue arrived right before him and a bad smell assaulted his nostrils. In addition, not only the tip of this tongue was sharp, the tongue was also full of sticky liquid with dark light circulating in it.Even at first glance, one would know that it contained deadly poison. The enraged Gnu Alligator King suddenly displayed its strange deadly attack! Little Long¡¯er who was beside Zhu Sijia transformed into his dragon form wanting to set out a helping hand. But, someone else was faster than him. A tough black vine suddenly sprang out from the sea surface and bound the tongue of Gnu Alligator King. Then the figure of Old Demon of Mount Yin suddenly sprang out of the sea surface that was less than 10 meters away, ¡°Kakaka, Your Excellency, leave this fellow to me, you can go first!¡± After a successful attack, Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily and stared at this Gnu Alligator King, wanting to absorb its blood, qi and essence energy. This was a yao beast that was at peak Daoist Master realm, if absorbed its blood, qi and essence energy, then wouldn¡¯t he be able to break through to Half-Sage realm? The gaze of Old Demon of Mount Yin was burning hot. Other people looked at this Gnu Alligator King with nervousness, but he looked at it like he discovered a priceless treasure. He was very excited. But, very quickly, he was unable to laugh. The vine that bound the tongue of this Gnu Alligator King was corroded rapidly by the sticky liquid on the tongue. Then, Gnu Alligator King roared and retracted its tongue, and immediately after that, it shot out its tongue at faster speed towards the glabella of Old Demon of Mount Yin, wanting to directly pierce through the latter¡¯s head and devour qi and blood. Old Demon of Mount Yin who was laughing heartily with a burning gaze just a moment ago instantly became pale. He wanted to dodge but discovered that he was already too late. The Iron Blooded Banner in the hands of Ye Chuan streaked across the sky and rolling up Old Demon of Mount Yin who didn¡¯t have time to dodge, it turned away. Behind, Gnu Alligator King whose attacked failed again roared loudly and chased, but it was greeted with lightning. It turned out that the best weapon to deal with this Gnu Alligator King and its group was lightning. Super Electric Eel discharged lightning in a large area and was able to stop these ferocious yao beasts. Every time lightning was discharged, many Gnu Alligators would sink. Unfortunately, these casualties were still a single hair out of nine ox hides for this beast group. Gnu Alligator King led the beast group and chased relentlessly again. In the front, now, Ye Chuan had already boarded the armored ship, but the beast group was still chasing ferociously. This was pressuring the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors so much that their complexion was stretched taut. Ye Chuan however was not afraid, he was even excited. Now, this beast group was murderously chasing after them, it appeared dangerous, but wasn¡¯t this exactly what he wanted to see? Chapter 479: Final Destination Bellowing Waves Island. It was getting late at night and the darkness had shrouded this island. In the newly renovated underground grotto, Lord Qi sat on the woolen rug with his eyes closed. In the incense burner not far away, there was a stick of sandalwood that was emitting a faint fragrance. Experienced people could smell a hint of unusual fragrance which was somewhat similar to the smell of shiso in the midst of this sandalwood fragrance. Clearly, this was the best quality sandalwood, Purple Dragon Sandalwood. This kind of sandalwood could make people feel peace of mind. But, Lord Qi who was sitting cross-legged on the ground however was unable to sit still and he was feeling ill at ease. After a good while, he just gave up cultivating, he sat down behind the desk and spreading open a blank sheet of paper, he began writing. On the blank sheet of paper, soon a big ¡®Ye (Ò¶)¡¯ word appeared. Lord Qi suddenly stopped and looking at the ¡®Ye¡¯ word, his mind shook. His heart was agitated, so he had just thought to scribble. But, he subconsciously wrote this word ¡°Ye¡¯, what did this imply? Love a person and he would be expressed in every regard; Hate a person and he would be thought unwittingly! Lord Qi came back to his senses and took a glance at those big bright red ¡®Ï²¡¯ words stuck on the walls he had yet to tear and knew why he was unable to sit still. He wanted to force himself upon dainty and lovely Tuoba Xiaoniao and lash her to his heart¡¯s content, but she was saved by Ye Chuan right before his eyes. A fat piece of meat right before his mouth had fallen. This made Lord Qi burn with anger, in addition, he also lost his face altogether. Thus, he decisively sent Rain Demon and Liu Yuan along with other elites to attack the campsite of Ye Chuan. The result, there was no news of them until now. They didn¡¯t send back any news of victory and disappeared without a trace in a space of a night. He didn¡¯t know whether they were killed by Ye Chuan and sea demon warriors or they were lost in the vast sea due to a storm. The hatred for Ye Chuan coupled with the disappearance of the vanguard army made Lord Qi who was the commander of this army feel even more pressure. If he didn¡¯t handle this matter properly, then in the future, it would naturally be hard to avoid the blame when Qing Tianyou looked into it. If it was just that, then it was still fine, but what was even more troublesome was the situation in front of him. According to the estimate, the defensive restriction of Lost City should have already weakened and the entrance should have already manifested, but, even after the army almost overturned the entire Bellowing Waves Island, he ended up empty-handed. He couldn¡¯t find the entrance to Lost City. And at the same time, the scouts reported that there was a yao beast wave crossing the nearby territorial waters from the west to the east in the direction of Bellowing Waves Island. But, although he had already confirmed that the target of this yao beast wave was not Bellowing Waves Island and would pass by this island from several dozen li away, for some unknown reasons, the heart of Lord Qi was always restless and his eyelids flickered. With over a million Gnu Alligators, if they happen to change their direction and rush straight towards Bellowing Waves Island, then what would happen? Lord Qi was weighed down with anxieties while wondering all kinds of scenarios. Then, looking at the word ¡®Ye¡¯, he became even more irritated. He crumpled this paper into a ball and threw it away, ¡°Guards!¡± ¡°This little one pays respect to Lord Qi!¡± The bodyguard captain quickly entered and bowed respectfully, and seeing the angry look of Lord Qi, he lowered his head even further and didn¡¯t dare to raise his head. In front of ordinary soldiers, this captain acted like a tyrant and he would bully people by flaunting his powerful connection, but in front of Lord Qi, he was obedient like a mouse that had seen a cat. ¡°Is there any news about Rain Demon and Liu Yuan?¡± Lord Qi asked. ¡°No.¡± The bodyguard captain shook his head. ¡°What about that kid Ye Chuan? Did you find the whereabouts of Cloud Mist Sect and Sea Demon Clan?¡± Lord Qi asked again. The bodyguard captain shook his head again, ¡°No.¡± The face of Lord Qi sank and his complexion became cold as he lowered his voice, ¡°Then, what about that beast group? Where are they located now? Did you dispatch more people to monitor closely?¡± ¡°A scout reported back not long ago, the beast group is already a few dozens of li away, and they are still going straight from the west to the east, and soon, they will be far away from the nearby territorial waters.¡± The bodyguard captain answered. He became nervous under the glare of Lord qi and added, ¡°And according to Lord Qi¡¯s orders, all warships were withdrawn back to avoid alarming the beast group, but many hidden lookouts were dispatched throughout the way to monitor this beast group closely to ensure everything is perfectly safe.¡± ¡°That¡¯s more like it!¡± The irritated Lord Qi finally heard good news, then pausing for a bit, he said, ¡°Although the beast group is just passing by, it is also uncertain that there will be no mishap. Pass down my orders, the leaders of various levels must strictly restrain their subordinates and prevent them from alarming this beast group. In addition, be prepared for a battle at any time and beware of any mishaps!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The bodyguard captain bowed to receive the orders, then he quickly left to convey the orders. It was not a problem to strictly restrict the subordinates. There was no one that didn¡¯t have eyes and dare to go and provoke that monstrous beast group. As for being prepared for a battle at any time, it was hard to say. The scouts had already monitored the movement of that beast group repeatedly and determined that they were only passing by. Thus, after the initial nervousness, the soldiers were no longer disturbed and nervous. Moreover, since they had been drifting on the surface of the sea for a long time and this was a rare return to the base camp, a lot of people seek pleasure and made merry and the leaders of different levels also turned a blind eye. In such a moment, if they were ordered to be prepared for a battle at any time, the soldiers will clearly be unwilling and it was also impossible. This bodyguard captain knew the current circumstances like the palm of his hand, but even if he was given a tiger¡¯s guts, he would not dare to offer advice to Lord Qi and explain the current circumstances. Afterward, no need to speak about how Lord Qi would make the life difficult for soldiers, if by chance, Lord Qi¡¯s mood turn worse and vented his fury on him, then what? Wasn¡¯t that asking trouble on oneself? Like being close to the emperor was like being close to a tiger, the bodyguard captain simply didn¡¯t dare to speak more to unpredictable Lord Qi. Like every strategy had a counter-strategy, many stern regulations often become a mere formality at the critical moment. But, no one knew a great calamity was getting closer and closer. Lord Qi sat cross-legged on the woolen rug again. This time, under the fragrance of sandalwood, he finally calmed down. Outside the grotto, soldiers beamed with joy. Then, some began to drink strong wine, some began to sleep without any worry and some sneaked into the residential houses where many women were imprisoned. The soldiers rarely got together, so they relaxed and played to their heart¡¯s content. The orders of Lord Qi reached only to the leaders of different levels, but these leaders also ignored and played to their heart¡¯s content. Soldiers naturally imitated their leaders. The orders of Lord Qi was completely muddled through. But, no one knew that the beast group was approaching Bellowing Waves Island under the lead of the armored warship at an astonishing speed. In order to take precautions for all contingency, the leaders had indeed dispatched many hidden lookouts to monitor the beast group closely, unfortunately, all those hidden lookouts were already gotten rid by the group of Ye Chuan. And in order to avoid alarming the beast group, all armored warships were also docked at the harbor. Thus, it was like this army had lost its ears and eyes, entirely unaware of the approaching danger. In addition to this, it was a dark night, thus, a few guards who were still standing fast at their post also had a limited field of vision and were unable to see the approaching danger. On the deck of the armored warship, Ye Chuan stood still. Behind the ship, there was a mighty yao beast wave, slowly about to catch up. Everybody was nervous, but he was undaunted, on the contrary, looking at Bellowing Waves Island that was getting closer and closer, his eyes were blazing like torches with soaring fighting spirit. ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, are you sure that the entrance to Lost City is in that underground grotto?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly asked Sea Demon Patriarch standing beside him. ¡°I am sure, absolutely sure!¡± The old man nodded his head and looking at Bellowing Waves Island that was getting closer and closer, he was also excited. Success or failure would be decided with this one move. Whether he could enter their racial Holy Land, Lost City, again or not depended on this battle. ¡°Tonight, Death God is with us!¡± Ye Chuan sneered and made a beheading motion with his right hand. The armored warship accelerated and sailed towards Bellowing Waves Island at even faster speed. Chapter 480: Unexpected disaster The night got darker and darker. And in the harbor of Bellowing Waves Island, it was calm and tranquil even though it was filled with different sized boats. Among them, the most conspicuous were naturally those roughly 300 armored warships. This was the main force of Qing Tianhou¡¯s army. Allegedly, each one of those armored warships was forged using more than ten thousand jin refined iron, in addition, Qing Tianhou had personally made a move to seize the iron ores and was also involved in their creation, consuming a large amount of manpower and materials. Under the dim light of night, the soldiers who rarely had a chance to get together were partying throughout the night, but, there were still who stood fast at their post, merely, there were not many of them. Some soldiers who had jumped into the sea to swim after having drunk and eaten to their heart¡¯s content were the first people to discover the unusualness. After swimming for a bit, these few soldiers noticed strange waves on the sea surface. These waves weren¡¯t high, but they came rapidly and they weren¡¯t smooth. Those soldiers who were fooling around in the sea didn¡¯t understand what was going on with this situation. It didn¡¯t resemble a tidal wave and also didn¡¯t resemble the storm, instead was somewhat similar to the ripples before an earthquake. Immediately after these soldiers, a guard who was standing on the mast also noticed the unusualness. Due to the darkness, he couldn¡¯t see anything in the distance, but he vaguely heard strange sounds. A series of muffled sounds vaguely came from the distant place shrouded with darkness. Those sounds resembled thunder and also resembled roars of yao beasts. In the vast sea, there were many kinds of yao beasts. Allegedly, there were several times more yao beasts in the vast sea compared to the mainland. Therefore, after the nightfall, it was normal to hear the roars of yao beasts, but the guard standing on the mast was alert because of a very simple reason. Since the army destroyed Bellowing Waves Seat and forcibly occupied this island, only a very few yao beasts come in the nearby waters. And especially tonight, since all the soldiers had returned, there was the entire army of 200,000 soldiers here, which yao beast didn¡¯t have eyes and dare to come here? No matter the reason, for a yao beast to act wantonly in nearby waters now was odd. The strange muffled sounds were getting clearer and clearer, moreover, those sounds were accompanied by the sound of something tearing through the wave. The guard on the mast who was already somewhat drunk woke up with a start. He threw the wine pot away and then drawing his bow, he shot a specially made arrow towards the sky. A dazzling light streak across the sky like a meteor, indistinctly illuminating the distant place shrouded in darkness. The guard standing on the mast was dumbfounded. He couldn¡¯t believe what he was seeing. With the help of the light of that arrow, he saw the most shocking scene in his life. At some distance, an armored warship had appeared at an unknown time. It was sailing towards Bellowing Waves Island at full speed and there was uncountable Gnu Alligators behind it. He couldn¡¯t see the end of those thickly dotted Gnu Alligators. They were chasing relentlessly after the armored warship like a tide while roaring. Who is that? Guest Rain Demon, and¡­¡­, deputy commander Liu Yuan? The speed of the armored warship and the beast group was very fast. In the blink of an eye, the guard was able to vaguely see two familiar figures. Rain Demon and deputy commander Liu Yuan were standing on the deck. They were shouting something while waving a bright red flag which meant ¡®sound an alarm¡¯. A hurried horn sound resounded throughout the night sky. The guard standing on the mast finally came back to his sense and blew the horn hanging on his waist with all his might. The very first reaction upon hearing the alarm was, those guards of various armored warships who were negligent in their duties hastily climbed up their warships¡¯ mast, then whistling sounds of arrows resounded one after another. The specially made arrows shot towards the sky and dazzled the night sky. This time, the distance of the beast group was closer. They were less than ten li away and in the blink of an, it reduced to 7 li away. Seeing the beast group behind that armored warship, all guards were dumbfounded, and soon, the sounds of horn resounded throughout the sky. Everyone was blowing their horn with all their strength. ¡°Enemy attack, it¡¯s the beast group!¡± ¡°Board and start the warship, then lay out the defense lines to block that beast tide, don¡¯t let them rush in, quick!¡± ¡°Board the warship, board the warship, quick!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The leaders of different levels shouted loudly and the soldiers rushed out from the island in an extremely awkward position. They didn¡¯t have enough time to wear a helmet or armor. They hastily boarded the warships that were docked in the harbor. Then, the soldiers at the lowest floor cabin began to crazily whip the slaves who were resting. After that, the huge armored warships began to move quickly. The ear defeating roars as well as the earth-shaking sounds of sea waves were getting closer and closer. Even without the command of their leaders, the soldiers also felt intense danger and got into action in succession. From the underground grotto, a tall figure rushed out. With the help of sandalwood, Lord Qi had finally calmed down and meditate with great difficulty. But now, due to this hustling and bustling, he woke up, and he hastily rushed out and roared, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Guards, what happened?¡± A few bodyguards hastily rushed over, but not waiting for them to give a report, Lord Qi jumped onto a tall tree and clearly saw the situation of the sea. In the harbor, armored warships were hastily setting sail and the soldiers standing on the deck were in chaos. There were many soldiers with naked upper body as he didn¡¯t have time to wear anything, and some were even barefooted. The soldiers had boarded the warships, but they had left behind their weapons and armors. Now, they were looking for weapons in a great mess. Then, some li away, an armored warship was sailing over at full speed, and behind it, there was a close and numerous beast tide whose ends couldn¡¯t be seen. The limbs of Lord Qi suddenly become ice-cold. His face became pale and he sweated profusely. Unexpected disaster, but this was absolutely a catastrophe that could be avoided! The matter Lord Qi had been most worried about was happening. Looking at this yao beast tide gushing towards them, he knew that this was anything but reassuring. Clearly, the soldiers were not prepared and had just rushed to the warships to meet the enemy head-on, wasn¡¯t his just courting death? ¡°Lord Qi, enemy¡­¡­, enemy attack, the yao beasts are attacking!¡± The bodyguard captain finally reported to Lord Qi. But, Lord Qi unusually didn¡¯t utter a sound. He was silent in this critical moment. This made bodyguard captain feel far from good. He subconsciously looked up and just happened to see Lord Qi coldly looking over without any expression. The robust bodyguard captain petrified as he muttered, ¡°Lord¡­¡­, Lord Qi, enemy¡­¡­, enemy attack¡­¡­¡± ¡°So, you also know the enemy is attacking?¡± Lord Qi coldly said, ¡°Before, didn¡¯t I instruct you to transmit my orders? Did you truly supervise the soldiers? What exactly is the use for your eyes?¡± ¡°Lord Qi, I¡­¡­¡± The bodyguard captain sweated profusely and trembled. He knew that this situation was far from good, but before he could explain himself, a cold light flashed before his eyes and his head was separated from his body. Now, there was a scimitar glimmering with pallid light in the hand of Lord Qi. With just one slash, this bodyguard captain who was a Rank 6 Daoist Master realm expert was beheaded. Let alone dodging, he didn¡¯t even have time to scream. ¡°Transmit my orders, fight to the death, you must not let a single yao beast step in this island.¡± Lord Qi ordered in a low voice. He didn¡¯t even look at the corpse of the bodyguard captain. ¡°Yes!¡± All the reaming bodyguards trembled and they hastily bowed to receive the order, then they turned around and left like fleeing for their life. Behind, the killing intent of Lord Qi soared and his face gradually twisted. The restriction of the Lost City was already weakened and the entrance will manifest in one or two days, at this moment, he absolutely cannot let these yao beasts rush into this island to ruin the big matter, otherwise, he will be the first person to be beheaded by Qing Tianhou. Thinking about the means of Qing Tianhou, this ruthless Lord Qi also trembled with fear. He must defend Bellowing Waves Island at any cost. Chapter 481: Valorous and peerless The speed of beast group was very fast. They ferociously collided head-on into the army just outside the harbor. About a dozen of armored warships in the front was torn apart by the beast tide and sunk. All the soldiers onboard also fell into the water and they spared no effort to swim back. The result, in a single wave, those ferocious Gnu Alligators tore them into pieces and were dragged to the bottom of the sea. Several thousand soldiers suddenly ceased to exist. The soldiers on the other armored warships became pale. After witnessing the ferocity of this beast group, all of them trembled with terror, but under the shout of the leaders of different levels, they counterattacked like mad. Now, more than 200 armored warships tightly blocked the harbor and entrance to the island. The ballistae roared and heavy arrows frequently pierced through seven or eight Gnu Alligators before they lose power. The arrows that were shot from the armored warships came down in torrents like rain. Soon, the seawater was dyed red by blood and it was filled with floating corpses. Among these corpses, there were soldier¡¯s corpses and even more corpses of Gnu Alligators. With nearly 200,000 elite soldiers shooting the arrows, the destructive power was astonishing. It was incomparable to only 200 or 300 people of Cloud Mist Sect and Sea Demon Clan shooting arrows. Before, Ye Chuan had led everyone to meet this beast group head-on and forcibly crushed all the Gnu Alligators in the way to pave a bloody path. This attack was fierce and swift for the short term, but it wouldn¡¯t last long, and it was even more impossible to completely block this vast and might yao beast wave like that. However, at this moment, the army under Qing Tianhou had done it. These 200,000 soldiers gathered together and forcibly stopped this yao beast wave regardless of their causalities. Rows after rows of these Gnu Alligators fell, but armored warships also sunk and the soldiers onboard were submerged by this yao beast wave. Although this yao beast wave was blocked, the army also paid the heavy price. At this moment, no one noticed where Rain Demon and deputy commander Liu Yuan were, and after the yao beast wave was drawn over, their armored warship had disappeared among the numerous identical armored warships. No one noticed that there was a somewhat distinctive warship among the many warships of the army. Although the warship was exactly the same and many soldiers also stood on the deck, unlike other soldiers who had hastily boarded the warships, these soldiers were fully armored. Their entire body was covered, revealing only a pair of eyes. Under the leadership of deputy commander Liu Yuan, they also drew arrows, but the arrows they shot were weak without any strength. No need to speak that it didn¡¯t have enough power to kill Gnu Alligators, they often accidentally injured the soldiers of other warships. Ye Chuan¡¯s group wore the standard battle armor of the army under Qing Tianhou. On the surface, they pretend to attack Gnu Alligators to not get discovered, but their warship moved all around without any trace, in addition, they secretly snipe down the leader of various armored warships. In the midst of the chaotic warfare, the formation was basically disorderly, no one noticed the unusualness of this warship. Even if someone was discontented, upon seeing deputy commander Liu Yuan who was shouting loudly, they weren¡¯t suspicious. In order to avoid attracting too much attention and quickly give away his position, Ye Chuan¡¯s group sniped mid and low level leaders of the warships. They intentionally didn¡¯t snipe the main leader of the warships. For a short while, the effect was not very significant, but the effect slowly showed up. Without the command of mid and low level commanders, the attacks of soldiers began to get chaotic and were even interrupted, moreover, their cooperation became more and more rigid. Even though the main leader was shouting loudly, the lack of mid and low level leaders for cooperation made it harder to transmit the orders to soldiers. Slowly, the chaos spread, all armored warships fell into their respective battle. They were unable to concentrate on fighting against the ferocious yao beast wave. Roar! From the midst of numerous Gnu Alligators, a thunderous roar resounded. Gnu Alligator King who remained hidden in the midst of the beast group decisively seized this chance, it roared loudly and those Gnu Alligators attacked even more ferociously. Those yao beasts boldly rushed forward without the fear of death and suddenly split into three groups. One group still charged straight forward, one group jumped like a fish onto armored warships and the final group dived into the water, wanting to bypass this blockade of armored warships via underwater, then make a pincer attack. The sounds of screaming suddenly increased. This change in the formation of Gnu Alligators quickly obtained an outstanding result. This unforeseen attack made hit soldiers hard and suffered heavy casualties. At that time, a leader stood out, jumped onto the mast and ordered all warships to compress their formation and concentrate their power, the result, before he finished speaking, an especially large Gnu Alligator jumped up along with the sea wave and a white light streak across the night sky. The tongue it stuck out coiled around the mouth of this leader, it then bit his neck to death. After that, it raised its head and roared loudly while its dense killing intent spread all over. Next, numerous Gnu Alligators became fanatical. Since Gnu Alligator King had stood out, this encouraged the morale of Gnu Alligators and under its command, their attacks became even more ferocious. Almost in an instant, 20 armored warships fell apart. Some warships were torn apart by this beast group and some warships were fine, but the soldiers standing on the deck were unable to hold on. They turn and fled, but those who were slow to jump off the deck were torn into pieces by Gnu Alligators. ¡°Audacious beast, this lord will peel off your skin today!¡± On the sea, a robust and powerful old man holding a scimitar came stepping on the wave. People then only heard a buzzing sound of the blade vibrating, but that old man had already slashed Gnu Alligator King with his scimitar. The latter shook and some scales on its body cracked open. It was also sent flying as its badly mangled wound spurted blood. Lord Qi jumped into the battle and personally made a move to deal with this overbearing Gnu Alligator King. ¡°Lord Qi is mighty!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± The soldiers cheered loudly and their morale was boosted. They immediately initiated a swift and fierce counterattack, blocking the attack of this yao beast wave once again. When the distance was close and they could no longer use crossbows, they just pulled out their swords and rushed up to kill the Gnu Alligators that had jumped onto the deck. The arrival of Lord Qi greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers. But, Lord Qi himself however was not excited at all. That slash of just a moment appeared ordinary without any profoundness, but in fact, it was already his full powered attack. He thought that he would be able to cut this Gnu Alligator King who was caught unprepared into two pieces with this single slash, then rout this beast group without a leader in a spurt of energy, but to his surprise, even his full powered slash was only able to give it a shallow wound. One could well imagine how hard the shell of this Gnu Alligator King was! Roar! Gnu Alligator King roared and rushed over again, then initiated a desperate attack on Lord Qi. Although its realm was just equivalent to a peak Daoist Master realm expert, perhaps, it had innately valorous attribute, or perhaps, it was especially fierce after being injured, it was actually able to give a hard fight to Half-Sage realm Lord Qi for a short time. Then, the battle between the army and yao beast wave became even more tragic. Chapter 482: Qingtian Wardrum The killings of the beast group and army became increasingly fiercer. At this moment, Ye Chuan was also wearing armor, revealing only his pair of eyes. He was indifferently watching this fierce battle between Lord Qi and Gnu Alligator King standing on the deck. Hard work pays off, this greater part of this action was successful, they were able to smoothly led this yao beast wave to Bellowing Waves Island. Even if Lord Qi was powerful, the army under him will definitely suffer heavy casualties! ¡°Noble son Ye, what should we do now?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch quietly walked over to Ye Chuan. He was also wearing the standard battle armor of soldiers. As the patriarch of Sea Demon Clan, he had tread through many storms in the past and was very knowledgeable, so, he was somewhat proud of himself, but now, witnessing this fierce battle between the army and the beast group, Ye was completely convinced by Ye Chuan. Leading the calamity away, he made the army of Qing Tianhou suffer heavy casualties, who dared to think like that, and who could do that? If ordinary people faced either 200,000 elites or the beast wave formed by over one million Gnu Alligators, they would flee at the mere sight of them. Even if they had eaten the guts of leopard, they wouldn¡¯t dare to approach, who would dare have any thought on these two giants? Not only Ye Chuan dared to have thoughts, he also truly accomplished that! ¡°Wait, it¡¯s not the time yet, wait a bit more.¡± Ye Chuan stood without moving and continued to watch the fierce battle between Lord Qi and Gnu Alligator King. Although the main force of the army had already joined the battle, clearly, there were still many soldiers in the military camp, moreover, there was no lack of powerful experts there. Lord Qi was innately cunning and was the number one adviser under Qing Tianhou, thus, when handling matters, he would never risk everything on a single venture. He would always secure the room for maneuver. These 300 armored warships were just the first line of defense, on the island, there must be the second line of defense or even the third line of defense. If they rashly rush in, then they might suffer a powerful ambush. Since the plan was already successful and Bellowing Waves Island was right in front of them, Sea Demon Patriarch and others were burning with impatience. They couldn¡¯t wait to rush into Lost City. But, Ye Chuan maintained his calm. It was not that he didn¡¯t want to enter Lost City in advance, rather with his experience, he knew that one should be calmer when the situation was more critical. One absolutely shouldn¡¯t be rash. There were many experts who died at the last moment during the exploration of the ominous domains because they were too excited and impatient, turning extreme joy to sorrow. Sea Demon Patriarch became silent, he didn¡¯t speak again, but he repeatedly looked towards not far away Bellowing Waves Island. He clearly was very impatient. He wanted to enter Lost City now. The duration of the defensive restriction of Lost City being weak was limited, they shouldn¡¯t waste time, otherwise, they might be too late to open the entrance and had to wait another one hundred years. But, after one hundred years, no one knew whether they would still be alive or not. In addition, no one knew what had become of Wilderness World. The turmoil in Wilderness World not only deeply affected the overall situation, but it had even spread to Overseas World. The pressure on the steadily deteriorating Sea Demon Clan was very huge. If they didn¡¯t enter their racial Holy Land and obtain their guardian holy item, perhaps, they will truly become extinct! Since this was the matter of no concern to Ye Chuan, he could keep calm and continue to wait, but the old Sea Demon Patriarch who didn¡¯t have much to live was clearly impatient. ¡°Patriarch, you say, who will win in this fierce battle?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly asked. ¡°These beasts for sure, the soldiers will not be able to keep up.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch answered. Relying on his powerful cultivation base, Lord Qi gradually occupied an advantageous position and gave bloody wounds to Gnu Alligator King. But, looking throughout the battlefield, soldiers were clearly in the disadvantageous position. No matter how fierce the soldiers were, the soldiers were still a human and they feared death. But, the Gnu Alligators were advancing wave upon wave, they knew perfectly well that they would die, but, they still ran straight to the swords of soldiers, exchanging a life for a life. This kind of battle was very tragic and the bold and powerful soldiers were slowly getting nervous and fearful. But, what was even more frightening was, those Gnu Alligators were still attacking fiercely with no sign of stopping. If one was killed, another ten or even over a hundred would replace it and then attack ferociously. Looking around, there were still countless Gnu Alligators. As for the soldiers, the death of one was lacking one, moreover, accidentally falling into the sea was also certain death. If this continues, then the soldiers would be wiped out sooner or later! ¡°Not necessarily, Qing Tianhou had not appeared from the start and he had made Lord Qi deal with such an important matter, this meant that the latter definitely has a trump card. At the very least, there are still many experts on the island. Compared to ordinary soldiers, they are the true powerful force!¡± Ye Chuan said, looking at the military camp with many fluttering flags. He had seen many cultivators dressed differently than soldiers and also had sensed several powerful auras. Ye Chuan kept his clam and watched every detail of this battlefield. Sure enough, before long, everyone understood that he was right again. After a faint, Gnu Alligator King unexpectedly turned around and fled into the beast group. Since it alone was not the opponent of Lord Qi, it ordered the beast group to launch an all-out attack, wanting to use the number of Gnu Alligators to crush everything in front of them. For it, Ye Chuan¡¯s group and these soldiers were from the same group, thus, it wanted to destroy all these armored warships and exterminate Bellowing Waves Island. Along with an ear deafening roar, the beast group began to charge, and many Gnu Alligators jumped onto the armored warships ignoring the arrows and began to attack soldiers ferociously. ¡°Kill!¡± Lord Qi bravely stepped forward and actually entered this beast group by himself. He wanted to get rid of injured Gnu Alligator King. He swept away all obstacles in front of him and pushed forward, displaying the combat power of a Half-Sage realm expert. Compared to Ye Chuan and others, his attacks were more powerful. Unfortunately, Gnu Alligator King who had returned to the beast group was like a tiger that has grown wings. Moreover, it could hide among numerous Gnu Alligators, so, let alone killing it, it was basically impossible to find it. After courageously charging for a while, Lord Qi knew that things couldn¡¯t go on like this and he had to retreat. He then looked at numerous soldiers retreating again and again in defeat and hesitated for a while. After that, he waved his hand and shot an arrow towards the sky. Dong! A muffled drumbeat suddenly came from the military camp of Bellowing Waves Island. This drumbeat had a very powerful penetrating power, it was even more powerful than the dragon roar of Little Long¡¯er. When this drumbeat rang, the heart of everyone including Ye Chuan shook. The effect on Gnu Alligators was even bigger. In the blink of an eye, their movement stiffened and they trembled as if their heart was blasted by that invisible drumbeat. Dong, dong, dong¡­¡­ The low and powerful drumbeats were getting louder and louder and also faster and faster. In the military camp, a huge altar slowly rose. There were seven peak Daoist Master realm experts standing on that altar. All of them held a wooden club that was over ten thousand jin heavy and they hit one bronze drum located at the center of the altar one after another. Their movement was uniform. It was unknown what materials were used to forge this bronze drum, but its drumbeat was low and powerful which directly shook the spirit of people. In addition, with every beat, it appeared as if the heart wanted to jump out following the beat and the blood boiled. ¡°Kill!¡± The soldiers roared loudly as their morale was boosted by these drumbeats and they became fanatical in succession. After that, they looked death calmly in the face and spared no effort to attack those Gnu Alligators jumped onto the deck. Some even jumped into the sea with red eyes and desperately attacked the Gnu Alligators. Under the pressure of Gnu Alligators, Lord Qi was finally forced to signal the use of the trump card stationed on Bellowing Waves Island! ¡°It¡¯s Qingtian Wardrum, I can¡¯t be wrong, it is definitely that legendary Qingtian Wardrum!¡± On the deck, Zhu Sijia exclaimed, recalling a report from a scout of Cloud Mist Sect. According to the reliable information, Qing Tianhou who had suddenly rise to the prominence had swept through the western region and conquered numerous tribes with this Qingtian Wardrum. It was said that, this Qingtian Drum had the will of a big shot of the world beyond the highest heaven. In the battlefield, it was a big killing weapon to sweep through the enemies. Anyone who had this kind of big killing weapon as a trump card wouldn¡¯t reveal it easily. Since Lord Qi had used this wardrum, it seemed that Lord Qi was also unable to hold on. Chapter 483: Deadly surprise attack The drumbeats resounded throughout the sea and the soldiers became more and more fanatical. They were actually able to block the beast group again, moreover, even initiated a counterattack. Now, the vast and mighty beast group that was unstoppable throughout the way was in chaos. The roars of Gnu Alligator King resounded again and again, unfortunately, the attack of beast group appeared useless again and again. They were unable to rout the defense line made of armored warships. On the warship, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors became nervous. Once the beast group was defeated, their action plan would be greatly affected. Then, it would be difficult to say whether they would be able to enter Lost City or not. The people who originally were impatient to disembark and immediately enter the Lost City became nervous. The same was true for Sea Demon Patriarch. As Ye Chuan had expected, Lord Qi was over suspicious and cunning. He left behind many experts on Bellowing Waves Island to form the second line of defense. If they had rushed up rashly, then they might have gotten wiped out! ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, let¡¯s start the operation now, I will take some people to kill those experts on the altar and seize that Qingtian Wardrum. You lead others to sneak into the underground grotto and open up the passage to Lost City. Liu Yuan, you will show the way to His Excellency patriarch; Rain Demon, you will come with me, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan gave orders and everyone on the armored warship began to make a move, sailing towards Bellowing Waves Island. And when they were 100 meters away from the opposite shore, everyone jumped off the warship, then dividing into two groups, one group followed Sea Demon Patriarch and proceeded towards the underground grotto in the middle of the military camp with Liu Yuan showing the way; as for the other group, it was led by Ye Chuan. They went straight towards the altar of the military camp with assassin Rain Demon leading the way. When Sea Demon Patriarch was nervously walking back and forth, Ye Chuan who had been inactive before, suddenly made a move. Seeing there was an opportunity, he immediately moved. The reason why the soldiers suddenly became so brave was that Qingtian Wardrum on the altar. This was the trump card of Lord Qi and also the second line of defense. Destroying this trump card would definitely deal a deadly blow to soldiers. And at the same time, he could lure the tiger out of the mountain, letting the other group smoothly enter the Lost City! After Ye Chuan made a prompt decision, the entire group quickly arrived in front of the military camp. ¡°Who?¡± ¡°Deserting the battlefield, kill them without pardon!¡± The guards standing in front of the big door pulled out their swords in succession and shouted loudly emitting dense killing intent. According to the command of Lord Qi, once the war started, no one was allowed to retreat and all who disobeyed this order should be beheaded. The soldiers that stayed behind on island were not only for the second line of defense, they were also for monitoring the deserters. If they found a deserter fleeing back, there was only one result, i.e., beheading in public. Ye Chuan and his group wore standard armor and helmet of soldiers, so at first glance, those guards didn¡¯t notice anything unusual and regarded them as deserters. ¡°Bastard, open your dog eyes and see who this lordship is.¡± Rain Demon took off his helmet, and even while facing numerous soldiers, he forcibly led everyone forward with dense killing intent and said ferociously: ¡°Lord Qi has ordered, experts of unknown forces have appeared in nearby waters, so he dispatched us back to reinforce the defense of the altar. Scram out of this lordship¡¯s way!¡± The killing intent of Rain Demon was surging. Although his hands were empty, just opening his hand, a dozen or so raindrop blades appeared on his palm. Now, he appeared as if he was going to kill everyone who blocked his way. The soldiers defending the entrance hesitated and after looking at each other, they obediently moved sideways, opening the path. The group of Ye Chuan rushed into the military camp like a gust of the wind and ran straight towards the altar. On the altar, those seven peak Daoist Master realm experts were using all their energy to hit the wardrum. They ignored everything else. Their sole mission was to hit this wardrum, they don¡¯t need to bother with other matters according to the orders of Lord Qi. But, even if they wanted to concern themselves with other matters, they didn¡¯t have extra energy. The power of Qingtian Wardrum was extraordinary, and it was a big killing weapon on the battlefield, but to hit this kind of wardrum, even peak Daoist master realm experts needed to spend a lot of energy. Merely after a short time, all seven peak Daoist Master realm experts were already sweating profusely and their arms were aching and numb. Every time they needed to use all their strength to hit this wardrum. There were also over a thousand elite soldiers strictly guarding around the altar. But, seeing the guards of the entrance had let them pass, they also followed suit. They didn¡¯t dare to stop murderous-looking group of Ye Chuan and Rain Demon. Rain Demon was the guest personally invited by Lord Qing Tianhou, in addition, he was counted as one of the very best assassins of Wilderness World, so everyone recognized this heaven-defying assassin Rain Demon. Seeing Rain Demon had personally led the group and the group behind him was also wearing the standard battle armor, the elite guards simply weren¡¯t suspicious at all. No one blocked their way and some even prepared to step forward and curry favor with them. But, to the surprise of everyone, the group of Rain Demon didn¡¯t stop at all. They also didn¡¯t defend the altar, instead they jumped towards the altar, and when they were still in midair, they pulled out weapons in succession with dense killing intent. In particular, Rain Demon in the front was most eye-catching. Suddenly, over a hundred raindrop blades appeared around him, and they shot towards those seven peak Daoist Master realm experts on the altar along with whistling sounds. How was this coming to protect the altar, this was clearly coming to kill! ¡°Not good, enemy, they are traitors!¡± ¡°Rain Demon, you are bold, kill, brothers, stop them!¡± The guards shouted loudly after noticing the unusualness. They then rushed over in succession to intercept. Unfortunately, they were already too late. Ye Chuan who had been intentionally following behind Rain Demon suddenly accelerated and swung his Iron Blooded Banner. The heavy Iron Blooded Banner shot forward like a spear and ruthlessly stabbed an expert. The latter immediately lost his life. Among the seven experts on the altar, each one was peak Daoist Master realm expert. In terms of cultivation base, Ye Chuan who was only Rank 4 Daoist Master realm was far from being comparable, but, at this moment, those seven experts had already spent a large amount of their energy to use Qingtian Wardrum, in addition, they were caught unprepared, thus, the sneak attack of Ye Chuan was successful. The remaining six experts quickly responded. At that time, the raindrop blades of Rain Demon whistled. Although these six experts avoided injuring their vital parts, numerous bloody wounds appeared on their blood. ¡°Rain Demon, it¡¯s you. You are so daring, I¡­¡­¡± Seeing it was Rain Demon, one of the experts flew into a rage and raising the heavy wooden club, when he was about to rush up, a tough vine suddenly sprang out of the flank below his legs and quickly bound his body. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± This expert screamed, then this scream came to an abrupt stop. That terrifying vine had pierced through his mouth and enlarged in his throat to block his scream. Then, his robust body began to wither. All his qi, blood and energy was completely absorbed by a terrifying vine. ¡°Kakaka, let this battle become even fiercer, kakakaka¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and also rushed in from of Rain Demon, becoming the second person to stand on the altar after Ye Chuan. Chapter 484: You are screwed The drumbeats suddenly stopped. On the altar, the complexion of remaining five peak Daoist Master realm experts became pale as they struggled against the siege of Ye Chuan¡¯s group. And in the blink of an eye, two more people fell, leaving behind only three people. Like Rain Demon, these experts were also the guests invited by Qing Tianhou, spending a lot of money. Their status was aloof and they cultivated various kind of distinctive technique. Under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible for Ye Chuan¡¯s group to defeat them, but this was not a normal situation. All seven of them were already exhausted, in addition, they were caught unprepared by Ye Chuan¡¯s group, thus, the surprise attack of Ye Chuan was very effective. Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s laughter reverberated throughout the sky, but he no longer attacked the remaining three experts, he instead led everyone to intercept the attack of numerous guards under the altar. The three experts on the altar were set aside for Ye Chuan and Rain Demon. In this two against three match, although there was a disadvantage of one person and the cultivation of Ye Chuan was also comparatively lower, not only Ye Chuan¡¯s group was not defeated, the more they found, they more advantage they seized. The extraordinary technique of Rain Demon was the main reason. After taking specially made pill and submitting to Ye Chuan, Rain Demon was dead set on following Ye Chuan and he even exerted himself more than in the past. He had already betrayed Qing Tianhou who was ruthless to betrayers. If this plan failed and he fell into the hands of Lord Qi, then only a tragic ending would be waiting for him. Thus, he had no choice but to exert himself more. A large number of raindrop blades appeared outside his body and he initiated a ferocious attack on those three experts at the same time. His every move was fatal, clearly displaying the true qualities of the peak assassin. At this moment, Ye Chuan who had rushed first to the altar became his support. He was waving Iron Blooded Banner to support from one side. Now, Rain Demon was the main attacker and Ye Chuan was the main defender. He waved Iron Blooded Banner to tightly defend their vital parts. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Damn you, Rain Demon, brothers, above, kill this traitor!¡± Under the altar, the guards rushed over one after another. Even the remaining soldiers of the military camp rushed over upon hearing the news. Among them, there was no lack of powerful experts. At this moment, everyone understood that they had made a fatal mistake. Since Ye Chuan and Rain Demon had infiltrated and seized Tianhou Wardrum right under their nose, the guards on the scene would not have a good ending now. After this battle was over, they were certain to suffer the corporal punishment that would make them feel death was better than life. Now, if they quickly rushed over and killed Ye Chuan¡¯s group, they would have a slim chance of survival, atoning for a crime by good deeds. The guards gritted their teeth and rushed over, trying to attack the altar, unfortunately, they were already late. Cloud Mist Sect had occupied the commanding elevation and under the leadership of Old Demon of Mount Yin, they blocked these guards. Not far away, Sea Demon Patriarch and others didn¡¯t waste the time and went straight towards the underground grotto in the middle of the military camp with deputy commander Liu Yuan leading the way. Since the campsite was chaotic and soldiers were rushing back and forth, no one noticed this group. Even if there was a guard, upon seeing deputy commander Liu Yuan in the front, they subconsciously let them pass, no one dared to stop them. But, they never thought that Liu Yuan had already betrayed Qing Tianhou like Rain Demon. The group of Sea Demon Patriarch quickly went away. Only one person stayed behind, lurking near the altar. This person was Plague Archfiend Abasi who had the strongest cultivation base among the group of Ye Chuan. Above and below the altar, the battle was especially fierce. Even Ye Chuan was in danger and nearly died again and again under the hands of these three experts. The numbers of soldiers who rushed over upon hearing the news were also increasing, as a result, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were feeling even more pressure. But, Plague Archfiend Abasi remained unmoved, he continued to lurk in the darkness. It was not because he was a coward or lazy, rather he had another task instructed by Ye Chuan. Roar! On the sea, an ear deafening roar resounded again and the attack of beast group became fiercer. Originally, under the effect of Tianhou Wardrum, widespread chaos had occurred in the midst of beast group, and there was even a sign of collapse, but immediately after the drumbeat stopped, Gnu Alligator King who was in the midst of the beast group quickly realized this opportunity. It ordered the beast group to initiate ferocious attacks again. Then, the beast group gathered together in a formation and attack the defense line of soldiers again with earth-shaking momentum. This attack was even fiercer than before. The soldiers who had attacked fanatically for a good while quickly became tired and the sign of collapse appeared. Lord Qi repeatedly issued commands and he even rushed forward to attack the beast group in person, but it was still of no avail. Even if he killed a wave of beast group, the bigger wave of beasts would take its place in an instant. It was impossible to wipe out this fierce group of Gnu Alligators. And if this goes on like this, then it would not take long before the soldiers collapse completely. Lord Qi suddenly turned around and returned to military camp holding his scimitar, then pounced onto the towering altar. The key to whether he could win this battle or not was this Tianhou Wardrum on the altar. And if he wanted to successfully defend Bellowing Waves Island and rout this beast group, then he must kill the group of Ye Chuan first! Under anger, the speed of Lord Qi was very fast. He flinted across the sky like a seabird and instantly appeared in the military camp. He then exerted power on his tiptoe and jump over towards Ye Chuan and Rain Demon on the altar. In the blink of an eye, now, there was only one expert on the altar. He was holding on with great difficulty. If this expert also fell, then Tianhou Wardrum would fall into others¡¯ hand and he would completely lose all hopes to successfully defend Bellowing Waves Island. A dark vine suddenly appeared in the sky and ferociously whipped towards Lord Qi. Old Demon of Mount Yin intercepted Lord Qi while laughing. But, the complexion of the latter was cold, he continued to fly upward while spinning, easily dodging the interception of Old Demon of Mount Yin. But, just when he was about to continue forward in a spurt of energy, a tough vine swayed and rapidly bound his right leg. In his heart, Old Demon of Mount Yin knew full well that he was not the opponent of Lord Qi, but he didn¡¯t give up, he stubbornly obstructed the murderous Lord Qi. The eyes of Lord Qi who was already burning with impatience flashed with pallid light. He flew into the rage and grabbing the vine that bound his leg, he pulled it and Old Demon of Mount Yin was pulled in front of him. Then, a blade light made an arc in the sky. Old Demon of Mount Yin let out a muffled groan. His chest was cut ruthlessly and he bled like a pig. He was nearly chopped into two with this single slash. ¡°Kill!¡± Lord Qi roared loudly and brandished his scimitar again, wanting to cut off the head of Old Demon of Mount Yin. This bade slash was even faster. Even Old Demon of Mount Yin didn¡¯t have enough time to dodge because he was already injured heavily. A blood-red banner hit the sharp blade of Lord Qi away. Ye Chuan was already prepared. He left the final expert on the altar to Rain Demon and flew over to save the life of Old Demon of Mount Yin. ¡°Ye Chuan, it¡¯s you.¡± Lord Qi turned around and landed on the wooden ladder on the lower part of the altar. He looked solemn, surprised and also furious. Just seeing the blood red Iron Blooded Banner, he immediately guessed the identity of Ye Chuan. ¡°Hahaha, correct, it¡¯s me. Lord Qi, we meet again.¡± Ye Chuan took off the helmet and faced the pressure of Lord Qi head-on. ¡°Good, good, actually bewitching Rain Demon into betraying us, boy, you truly have some skill. Last time, you almost died here, but you still dared to sneak in again, you are truly courageous. You have both courage and cunning, worthy of being the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, unfortunately, just like this, today, you are screwed! If I cannot kill you here, then I, Na Zhen, will not have any face to see Lord Qing Tianhou and commit suicide here on this altar!¡± Lord Qi Na Zhen said word by word and before he hardly finished speaking, he ferociously rushed towards Ye Chuan, making a poisonous oath in public. You will die here, and I will live! Lord Qi initiated an all-out attack without holding back even a bit! Chapter 485: Hopeless situation A cold blade light streak across the sky as Lord Qi initiated a ferocious attack. After Old Demon of Mount Yin wrapped his wound, he rushed forward to help, but even after cooperating with Ye Chuan, they were not the opponent. They were forced to retreat until they reached the altar. The complexion of Lord Qi was ferocious and his killing intent was rising. His attacks were also ferocious and he held nothing back. He used all his deadly attacks. If he was unable to kill Ye Chuan¡¯s group, then it would be impossible to calmly beat the Tianhou Wardrum; and without the drumbeat boosting the soldiers, it would be impossible to stop the attack of this beast crowd. And if the beast group successfully rush in and the defense of Bellowing Waves Island failed, he would be unable to explain himself to Qing Tianhou. Then, it was not difficult to imagine his bad end. Therefore, in order to complete the mission, and also in order to save his own life, Lord Qi completely went berserk. And once the fighting power of a Half-Sage realm expert was completely displayed, even with the cooperative effort of Old Demon of Mount Yin and Ye Chuan was unable to withstand. Soon, many wounds began to appear on their body. Buzz! The sharp scimitar trembled, issuing a buzzing sound and Old Demon of Mount Yin was hit. Many vines appeared outside Old Demon of Mount Yin and they tightly warped around his body like a vine armor. But, the sharp scimitar cut open the layer upon layer of tough vines, then cut down slanted from his shoulders. He was nearly cut into two halves. But, a blood-red banner suddenly appeared from one side and forced away the blade in the hands of Lord Qi. And immediately after saving the life of Old Demon of Mount Yin, Ye Chuan took the advantage of this occasion and attacked ferociously. He swung Iron Blooded Banner with his right hand and punched with his left hand. In addition, there were extremely thin sharp blades between his fingers. He used them to use Inch Blade Technique to initiate a ferocious counterattack. ¡°Kid, I was waiting for this!¡± Lord Qi coldly smiled and he suddenly accelerated to meet Ye Chuan¡¯s attack head-on. In addition, the scimitar in his hands glimmered with pallid light and his energy fluctuation also increased sharply. His primary goal had always been Ye Chuan. Inflicting heavy injuries to Old Demon of Mount Yin was just a show, his main objective was to attract Ye Chuan. Although that slash towards Old Demon of Mount Yin looked ferocious, in fact, he had left a lot of power to spare and was secretly preparing a real killer move. And as he had expected, Ye Chuan rushed over to save Old Demon of Mount Yin as he wished. The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk and his body suddenly swayed left and right, creating afterimages. He was using Cyan Feather Technique to dodge this attack of Lord Qi, but, no matter how he dodged, the sharp blade was still locked onto his body and it was getting nearer and nearer. ¡°Your Excellency, watch out!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin cried out in alarm, it was already too late to rush over. He could only watch the sharp scimitar approaching Ye Chuan. In order to chop down the head of Ye Chuan, Lord Qi didn¡¯t hesitate to risk suffering backlash and used a secret technique. His power instantly rose sharply and he erupted with shocking speed and power. Old Demon of Mount Yin who was standing at one side clearly had no time to react. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, along with sudden whistling sounds, over a thousand raindrop blades appeared out of thin air and shot towards Lord Qi. Rain Demon finally killed the last remaining expert, and after seizing the Tianhou Wardrum, he saw Ye Chuan was in danger, thus without any time to take a breather, he spared no effort to use his deadly attack. Now, if Lord Qi didn¡¯t change his move, then he could certainly kill Ye Chuan, but he would be pierced by those raindrop blades and become full of holes. ¡°Rain Demon, I will kill you, you traitor!¡± Lord Qi angrily gnashed his teeth and suddenly jumped to one side to dodge the raindrop blades. And in the next moment, he rushed towards Rain Demon. He wanted to kill this traitor. But, Iron Blooded Banner and tough vines came from one side with strong momentum. Ye Chuan and Old Demon of Mount Yin simultaneously made a move against Lord Qi who was rushing towards Rain Demon. Then, the three of them cooperated to fight against Lord Qi. These three people were heaven-defying existences among Daoist Master realm experts. No need to mention Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon who were peak Daoist Master realm experts, even Ye Chaun was also terrifying. Although his cultivation realm was low, he had all kinds of killing moves and treasures. Even Half-Sage realm Ghost King they encountered in Cyan Sand Island might need to exhaust some strength under the siege of these three people. Lord Qi however was killing all around and these three people were in danger again and again. It was not because the cultivation of this fellow as higher than Ghost King, rather Lord Qi was going all out without regard for safety. He appeared as if he wanted to exchange life for a life, so no was able to hold him for a moment Roar! Furious roars were resounding again and again in the sea. When no one was able to hold Lord Qi here, Gnu Alligator King was also displaying his invincible might. Under its lead, the beast group attack even more ferociously. ¡°Brothers, kill!¡± ¡°Hold on, hold on for a little while, Lord Qi will come to help!¡± The leaders of various armored warships were shouting loudly, trying to boost the morale of soldiers to fight back. And perhaps, they knew that there was no retreat route, the soldiers gritted their teeth and held on, withstanding the waves after waves of this beast group¡¯s attacks. The earnestly hope for the reinforcement. They knew that there were many soldiers on Bellowing Waves Island making the second line of defense. If these soldiers rushed over, then they might be able to defend or even defeat this beast group. But, something unexpected happened at that time. The reinforcement the soldiers were waiting for didn¡¯t come, but there was an unexpected disaster. No one knew when but seawater had suddenly leaked into the solid armored warships and they sank quickly. The soldiers standing on the deck didn¡¯t even have time to react and the seawater had already reached their ankle, then knee, thigh¡­¡­ The Five Step Fragrance with astonishing corrosive nature refined day and night by Zhu Sijia finally showed effect. Li Dingxi and the other disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect lived up to expectations. They successfully collaborated with slaves on the lowest floor of warships, creating a hole on the bottom of the warships. The soldiers who were still gritting their teeth and holding on, waiting for a reinforcement trembled with terror. They then screamed and dispersed in confusion. The ferocious Gnu Alligators roared loudly and rushed forward seizing this chance. And the beast group was finally able to pierce through this line of defense made of armored warships. The vast and mighty beast group then rushed everywhere and massacred all soldiers around. The death of one soldier meant losing one, but Gnu Alligators were endless. It was impossible to kill all of them. At this moment, even daring soldiers gave up all hopes. This army under Qing Tianhou which was known as Dingxi army that suppressed the Western Regions dispersed in confusion and collapsed thoroughly. Even after holding on for so long, they were unable to defend. It was a hopeless situation. Even the leaders of armored warships also ran all around. ¡°No¡­¡­¡± Turning around and seeing the sudden changes in the harbor, Lord Qi shouted himself hoarse and his limbs turned ice-cold. At that time, a hint of red light flashed and a figure shot straight towards Lord Qi. Plague Archfiend Abasi who had been hiding all along finally made a move. He just had one mission. It was to give a fatal blow to Lord Qi at the critical moment! Chapter 486: Ancient passage Lord Qi who was driven to distraction suddenly sensed something and turned around. Then, he saw a three eyed toad had already arrived in front of him. An ice-cold blade light streak across the sky. Lord Qi who had become absent-minded after seeing the defeat of the army quickly responded at this juncture when his life was at stake. He subconsciously chopped down with his scimitar. Ding, the sharp blade and a claw that was tougher than iron collided. The purlicue of Lord Qi tore and his scimitar flew out of his hand. Shortly afterward, the huge body of Three Eyed Toad directly collided against him. In an instant, the blood and qi of Lord Qi churned and he vomited a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying to the edge of the altar. Looking down, he saw that his chest was badly mangled and nearly all of his ribs were broken! The cultivation realm of Lord Qi was heaven-defying. As a Half-Sage realm expert, he stood out from his fellows. Even the combined effort of Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon was useless against him, but, Plague Archfiend Abasi was different. His single attack inflicted heavy damage. Both of them were similarly Half-Sage realm expert. But, one was absent-minded and caught unprepared while the other was conserving strength and waiting for a long time to launch a surprise attack. The result was obvious. The huge body of Three Eyed Toad gradually shrunk and turned into a humanoid form. Now, there was an addition of one tall ox headed man on the altar. After successfully landing a hit on Lord Qi and inflicting heavy damage, Plague Archfiend Abasi was sure to win. Now, he didn¡¯t need to display his true form to crush Lord Qi. ¡°You¡­¡­, are you that Half-Sage realm expert beside Ye Chuan?¡± Lord Qi stood up with a deadly pale face and blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth. He then took a look at the chaos of the harbor and his limbs turned ice-cold as he understood that he had failed to save the situation. In the harbor, there were shipwrecks everywhere and soldiers were fleeing all around for their life. But, under the encirclement of this beast group, very few were able to escape with their life by luck. In addition, there were still countless Gnu Alligators in the sea. In this kind of chaos, let alone ordinary soldiers, even Daoist Master realm experts were unable to escape with their life. The intense battle had changed into a one-sided massacre! ¡°Correct, that¡¯s me.¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi charged forward and attacked, wanting to kill Lord Qi, in order to avoid troubles that might appear due to delay. Lord Qi just stood still and blocked this punch head on, but he was forced to take several steps back and he reached the edge of the altar. Now, if he took a step behind, then he would fall off the altar. At that time, he opened his mouth as if to say something, but blood gushed out of his open mouth. In the sea, when he was fighting with Gnu Alligator King, Lord Qi had already exhausted a lot of vitality, then he returned to the military camp and suffered the siege of Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon. Although he seemed to have occupied the advantageous position in that battle, he actually was not relaxed at all and was exhausted further. And at that time, he became absentminded for a moment seeing the army was defeated, but Plague Archfiend Abasi dealt him a heavy blow seizing that moment. Now, he naturally was not the opponent of Plague Archfiend Abasi! ¡°Attack, kill him!¡± Ye Chuan who was watching this battle from one side suddenly rushed up, holding Iron Blooded Banner. The operation was a great success, but now, it was still not time to celebrate. He didn¡¯t know whether Sea Demon Patriarch¡¯s group had found the entrance to Lost City, but this beast group was about to rush into Bellowing Waves Island quickly. He had not time to waste. In addition, he also didn¡¯t know what was going on but a feeling of danger always shrouded his heart. And recalling that seven drops of blood on the tortoise shell, he felt ill at ease. Thus, he rushed forward, wanting to kill Lord Qi at the fastest speed and end this battle. Lord Qi swayed and after dodging Iron Blooded Banner of Ye Chuan, he didn¡¯t turn around and fled, he instead brushed past Ye Chuan. His target was Tianhou Wardrum at the center of the altar. The defense of Bellowing Waves Island had already failed and the army was also defeated. This was a hopeless situation and he wouldn¡¯t be able to turn around this situation. Now, he couldn¡¯t let Tianhou Wardrum fall into the hands of Ye Chuan too. This was his only hope to reduce the punishment when he returned to join Qing Tianhou. A dozen or so raindrop blades suddenly appeared out of thin air and whistled towards Lord Qi. Rain Demon who just happened to be standing opposite to Lord Qi made a deadly move to intercept. These raindrop blades were faster than flying swords and their piercing power was also powerful. If they hit him, then his body would definitely be full of bloody holes. The pupils of Lord Qi shrunk, he then suddenly jumped and dodged past those whistling raindrop blades. After that, he suddenly accelerated towards Tianhou Wardrum as he used the secret technique to stimulate his latent potential again. Although he was already injured serious, moreover, was surrounded by Ye Chuan and others, Lord Qi still displayed his amazing powers and guts. Unfortunately, just when he was about to come into contact with Tianhou Wardrum, a vine suddenly appeared in front of him and wrapped Tianhou Wardrum away. Old Demon of Mount Yin had suddenly made a move. He didn¡¯t attack Lord Qi, but for Lord Qi, this move was worse than killing him! ¡°Give me Tianhou Wardrum!¡± Lord Qi roared and rushed towards Old Demon of Mount Yin regardless of his safety, wanting to snatch Tianhou Wardrum. But, it was already too late. His glabella twitched crazily as he saw a hint of red light. Immediately after that, a tall figure collided against him like a mountain, in addition, a heavy punch landed on his chest. The body of Lord Qi curled up in pain and blood came out from his skin as his entire body quickly exploded. In addition, the energy fluctuation within his body became chaotic and he lost control over it. Plague Archfiend Abasi had landed a direct hit on Lord Qi, leaving him barely alive. ¡°Old fellow, accept your fate!¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan was ice-cold. He lifted the heavy Iron Blooded Banner and just when he was about to ruthlessly crush Lord Qi to death. The ground suddenly swayed and the towering altar also violently swayed and almost collapsed. A multicolored radiance shot out from the ground not far away, becoming a rainbow in the sky. On the sea, sea waves appeared, reflecting the rainbow in the sky. Then, the sea water fluctuated and it rotated clockwise sometimes, it stopped sometimes and it rotated anticlockwise sometimes. A dense vitality fluctuated between the heaven and earth, seemingly, the entire big ear whirlpool outside Bellowing Waves Island gad independent vitality. On the island, the vibration was getting increasingly intense accompanied by dull squeaking sounds as if some kind of mechanism was triggered to open an ancient passage. Moreover, an ancient aura just happened to come out from the direction of that underground grotto. Sea Demon Patriarch and others have succeeded? The eyes of Ye Chuan shone with excitement. The vigorous vitality spread all over the air and that ancient aura proved that Sea Demon Patriarch and his group had successfully entered the underground grotto and opened the entrance to Lord City that only someone from Sea Demon Clan could open. The ethnic holy land of an ancient race is in sight! Ye Chuan who had explored many ancient ruins in his past life was also excited. All ancient race possessed a brilliant history and rich accumulation with unimaginable origin energy. Not to mention seizing everything, as long as one could absorb just one percent of the origin energy contained within the ethnic holy land, one¡¯s cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. Imagining about rapidly breaking through the bottlenecks and condensing more Heaven Swallowing Talismans, Ye Chuan who had already experienced all kinds of storms in his previous life was also excited. He then held his head high and uttered a long, loud cry. Chapter 487: Monsters and demons The ancient passage to Lost City that appeared only once every 100 years had finally opened! Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were excited, but Lord Qi who was lying on the pool of his blood was gnashing his teeth. This ancient passage originally should be his! He forcibly occupied Bellowing Waves Island and sealed off the nearby territorial water, what was everything for? Wasn¡¯t that just to find the ancient passage and enter the Lost City? The ancient passage to Lost City had finally manifested, unfortunately, barely alive Lord Qi could only watch helplessly at this moment. More than 200,000 strong soldiers under him were massacred by that beast group and he himself was also heavily injured and was on the verge of the death. He had racked his brains and busy bustling about for so many days, but everything became the wedding dress for other people in the end. ¡°Lord Qi, I will send you your way!¡± Ye Chuan walked over and suddenly stabbed towards the badly mangled chest of Lord Qi with his Iron Blooded Banner, wanting to pierce through his chest. The killing intent of Ye Chuan was dense, he didn¡¯t hold back at all. Since 200,000 soldiers had already collapsed and the passage was also already opened successfully, now, as long as he killed this Lord Qi, he could go to join the group of Sea Demon Patriarch and enter Lost City. ¡°Brat, you dare? Lord Qing Tianhou will not let you off!¡± Lord Qi roared. He struggled to stand up and block, but it was difficult to move as his vitality was greatly damaged. Thus, he gritted his teeth and simply turned over just when the Iron Blooded Banner was about to stab him and rolled off the altar. This altar was more than tens of meters tall. It might not be considered tall in other places, but it was already the tallest building in this Bellowing Waves Island. Bang, Lord Qi slammed on the ground and his wounds cracked open and he bled. For a cultivator, the height of tens of meters was nothing, they could easily jump up and down, but it was different from ordinary people who didn¡¯t cultivate, they would become a meat pie if they fell off from such height. And at this moment, Lord Qi whose vitality was greatly damaged was inferior to ordinary people who didn¡¯t cultivate. With new injuries on old injuries, his body almost fell apart. Fortunately, he had a good foundation, he actually didn¡¯t die, moreover, he struggled to crawl away, leaving behind bloodstains on the ground. Below the altar, there were still soldiers fighting with the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. When they suddenly saw Lord Qi falling from the sky with great injuries, no one stepped forward to save him, instead, they dispersed in confusion. No one was stupid. At this critical moment, running away for their life was more important. The army collapsed completely. As long as Lord Qi was still alive, the soldiers still had a hope of breaking out of this encirclement. And those bodyguards who were accustomed to the power of Lord Qi also didn¡¯t dare to flee without authorization. When facing dangers, Lord Qi was their hope and trust. But now, their only hope shattered. The complexion of Ye Chuan was ice-cold. He held his Iron Blooded Banner, but just when he was about to jump down and finish off Lord Qi, he sensed something and looked up. On the sea surface, figures suddenly appeared in twos and threes. Some sat on the small light boat and some directly stepped on the waves, but without exception, the energy fluctuation within their body was extraordinary. There was auras of peak Daoist Master realm experts and even the aura of Half-Sage realm experts appeared. Even though they were far away, he could feel intense danger. Some figures were coming from remote corners of Bellowing Waves Island and there were even some who rushed out from the nearby military camp, in addition, some were wearing standard armor of soldiers. But, all of them were stepping on a flying sword and flying straight towards the underground grotto where the entrance to Lost City was located. ¡°Hahaha, Old Three, hurry up, let¡¯s enter Lost City together!¡± ¡°The first place is for this lordship, who dares to enter before this lordship?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. Almost at the same time, many experts and devils inside and outside of Bellowing Waves Island appeared in succession as if monsters and demons. They wanted to enter Lost City and snatch the treasures inside. The worldly phenomenon that occurred upon the opening of the ancient passage to Lost City attracted numerous devils that were already glaring like a tiger eyeing its prey. After the war, Ye Chuan practically put all his effort into dealing with Lord Qi, he was too busy to think about the opening of the entrance to Lost City. In the past, although scouts had reported the existence of many experts of unknown powers in nearby waters, he had not expected that they would come so quick! ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, brat, since I cannot go into Lost City, you also shouldn¡¯t think of going in. In the end, you are also making a wedding dress for other people, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Lord Qi roared with laughter while poisonously glaring at Ye Chuan. His laughter was uglier than crying and his face was twisted. Since he couldn¡¯t obtain it, Ye Chuan also shouldn¡¯t think of obtaining it! Screaming and fighting sounds quickly came from the underground grotto. The shouting and screaming voices of sea demon warriors could also be heard. A devil who had rushed into the underground grotto was fighting against Sea Demon Patriarch and others! Roar! An ear deafening dragon roar resounded and a demonic dragon suddenly rushed out of the underground grotto and flew towards the altar. Little Long¡¯er urgently rushed over and said, ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, the entrance to Lost City will manifest for only a limited time, His Excellency Patriarch ask you to immediately come over, otherwise, it will be too late, quick!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan glanced at barely alive Lord Qi who was roaring with laughter for a moment and turned away. He then put away Tianhou Wardrum of the altar and rode the back of Little Long¡¯er. One dragon and one human quickly flew towards the underground grotto. Behind, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Plague Archfiend Abasi followed closely. And further behind them, there were numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. Although Lord Qi was barely alive now, he was a cruel and cunning person. Leaving him alive was like leaving behind future trouble. If Ye Chuan had a chance, he would have naturally killed this fellow to eliminate all troubles, unfortunately, he had no time. The entrance to Lost City would manifest for a limited time, and with more and more devils rushing over, Sea Demon Patriarch and others wouldn¡¯t be able to last long. If he didn¡¯t rush over now, then he would be regretting! Ye Chuan was worried about the safety of Zhu Sijia and others, so he turned around and made a prompt decision. He didn¡¯t turn back and looked at the chaotic battlefield again. He directly left. Behind, the complexion of Lord Qi who was standing on the pool of his blood looked gloomy and stopped laughing. He wanted to rush over and intercept Ye Chuan, but he lacked power, he could only watch Ye Chuan getting further away. The army was defeated, the defense of Bellowing Waves Island failed, and he also lost Tianhou Wardrum, and now, he still had to watch Ye Chuan going to Lost City. He had utterly failed this time. Even if survived, what could he do now? Did he have the face to go and see Lord Qing Tianhou? Or did he have anything to save his life? Lord Qi¡¯s heart became colder and colder. He then struggled to move his hands, but suddenly, a Gnu Alligator jumped over from behind and bit off his left hand. And under severe pain, even he himself didn¡¯t know from where he got power but Lord Qi actually escaped by the skin of his teeth. He stumbled and staggered as he fled madly for his life. And he turned his head back to see, he saw countless Gnu Alligators were rushing into the island. After massacring all the soldiers, the beast group finally rushed into the Bellowing Waves Island like a tide. Then, angry roars and cursing sounds resounded as those experts that had appeared suddenly accelerated in succession, racing against this beast wave. They wanted to rush into underground grotto before this beast group completely submerge this Bellowing Waves Island and enter ancient Lost City. Chapter 488: White Haired Devil In the underground grotto, a stone wall where the bright red ¡®Ï²¡¯ word was stuck before was cracked and a passage emitting multicolored radiance had appeared. The majestic ancient energy fluctuation that spread all over Bellowing Waves Island had come out from inside this passage. The group of Zhu Sijia and Sea Demon Patriarch were guarding this passage forming a semi-circle in front while blocking the attacks of the experts. At the entrance of this passage, Hai Lili with pale face repeatedly looked outside the grotto while covering the wound on her wrist. After dripping essence blood of Sea Demon Clan, she had already opened the ancient passage leading to Lost City under the direction of Sea Demon Patriarch. Now, they were just waiting for the arrival of Ye Chuan. The first people to intrude the underground grotto were two overseas loose cultivators. One tall one short, they were wearing standard armor of the soldiers. No one knew when they infiltrated the military camp. As soon as the passage was opened, they quickly rushed over from the military camp. Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows roared, releasing arrows. Now, these one hundred crossbows brought out by Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia from Heavenly Yao Sect had transformed into even more powerful Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows under the hands of Ye Chuan. The operation this time was divided into two. For insurance, Ye Chuan and Zhu Sijia separately led fifty Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows. Once the figure of those two overseas loose cultivators appeared, those already prepared disciples of Cloud Mist Sect pulled the triggers. The cultivation of these two overseas loose cultivators was quite good, both were Rank 6 Daoist Master. In the past, they had occupied an island and had even sought to dominate a sea area. With their powerful cultivation base and swimming ability, coupled with their familiarity of Bellowing Waves Island, they quietly infiltrated the military camp. They had believed that they would be the first one to enter Lost City as a waterside pavilion gets the moonlight first, but they had never thought that, they would be welcomed by a dense arrow rain. They were unable to dodge quickly and were forced to retreat dripping with blood. After these two overseas loose cultivators retreated, a devil with white hair rushed in. This devil seemed very old. His entire face was filled with wrinkles and his white hair reached his waist. Moreover, his eyes were white, unexpectedly was a blind person. One wondered how he came here. But, the surprising matter was, even without eyesight, this old demon easily flashed through the whistling arrows. He was able to distinguish the position of the arrows even better than seeing with eyes just listening to the sounds. He then laughed out loud and rushed towards Zhu Sijia and others. He was wearing gloves with steel claws and just his light touch could tear off a large piece of flesh. One of the sea demon warriors was unable to dodge in time and his entire body was torn into two pieces. Compared to those two overseas loose cultivators who had retreated just a moment ago, this old devil was clearly more powerful, was at least a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert. After the passage to Lost City was opened successfully, a fierce fight ensued. The group of Zhu Sijia shrunk the formation, not daring to press forward and attack this old devil. They gave priority to stability and put forth their strength in using crossbows and flying swords. Even though the sky was filled with arrows and flying swords, this White Haired Devil casually moved around while continuously laughing loudly and attacking the warriors in the periphery. After the third sea demon warrior fell, Sea Demon Patriarch finally was unable to bear. He personally went to battle, holding a steel fork, wanting to kill this White Haired Devil. From the mainland to here, Sea Demon Patriarch had rarely made a move in person, but his cultivation was also extraordinary. Like Old Demon of Mount Yin, he was also a peak Daoist Master realm expert. His cultivation realm was even more powerful than Ye Chuan. All along the road, no matter whether they encountered Ghost King Dusen or the experts of east sea Blacksnake Clan, all were dealt by Ye Chuan. He only reinforced using sea dragon boat. But now, Ye Chuan was not here and Zhu Sijia and others¡¯ cultivation realm was insufficient, so he had to step up. The White Haired Devil who was laughing heartily just a moment ago quickly feel into tough straits. Although Sea Demon Patriarch didn¡¯t make many moves all along the way, as the patriarch of Sea Demon Clan, he was very experienced. The ordinary steel fork in his hand became a big killing weapon. Soon, wounds appeared on the body of White Haired Devil. Zhu Sijia and others also helped from one side. They used Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows and flying swords, making this old devil unable to laugh again. If this went on, before long, this White Haired Devil will be killed by everyone. Along with loud whistling sounds, several powerful auras came outside the grotto, then several loose cultivators rushed in at the same time. There were men and women armed with Fochen, Iron hook and wooden club as their weapons. They were on guard against each other, but when they saw multicolored passage behind everyone, their eyes shone and they rushed over wanting to become the first person to enter Lost City. Their cultivation realm wasn¡¯t low, all of them were at least Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert. The situation changed suddenly. The group of Zhu Sijia who held advantage just a moment ago quickly fell into a disadvantage. Sea Demon Patriarch gritted his teeth and recklessly stepped forward. He blocked White Haired Devil and another peak Daoist Master realm expert. He firmly entangled with these two most powerful experts. But, not mentioning how he was in danger again and again, he was unable to nothing about the overall battle. With the addition of several overseas loose cultivators, Zhu Sijia and others were clearly not their opponents. Soon, several disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors fell in their blood pool. Only an expert could deal with an expert. Without Ye Chuan and others, these ordinary disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors were unable to stop these ferocious devils even after they went all out risking their life. Hai Lili who was standing in front of the entrance had a deadly move, but she had lost an excessive amount of blood to open the passage, therefore, she was weak and was unable to use that technique. At this moment, she could only watch anxiously and helplessly. One human and one dragon suddenly appeared in Hai Lili¡¯s field of vision when she was nervously looking around. At this critical moment, Ye Chuan finally arrived. ¡°Noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Hai Lili was excited. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have time to reply. He directly jumped off Little Long¡¯er and rushed over to the side of Sea Demon Patriarch. Under the attack of two powerful Daoist Master realm experts, the old man was panting and was already dripping with blood. If he was a bit late, then he might have already turned into a corpse in the hands of these two devils. Bang! Along with a muffled sound, White Haired Devil was sent flying and slammed against the hard stone wall. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even have time to take out Iron Blooded Banner, he ferociously punched and sent this White Haired Devil flying. This punch had appeared suddenly but was powerful. With nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans circulating, the strength of 162,000 jin had erupted. Even a person made with iron wouldn¡¯t be able to block this punch! ¡°Where did this kind come from, I¡­¡­¡± The White Haired Devil angrily shouted and stood up wanting to rush towards Ye Chuan. The result, before he finished speaking, he felt pain in his chest and his entire body lost strength. He looked below and saw a black vine sticking out from his chest. ¡°Kakaka, the blood, qi and essence of peak Daoist Master realm expert truly taste good, I need more, kakakaka¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed as he absorbed the essence, qi and blood of this White Haired Devil. Now, the sign of breaking through to Half-Sage realm was even more obvious. He then rushed towards the other peak Daoist Master realm expert that was fighting against Sea Demon Patriarch. His eyes were glowing like he had seen a treasure, making the latter tremble with fear. Chapter 489: Qing Tianhou After Plague Archfiend Abasi also rushed in, the battle inside the grotto quickly ended. Regardless of Plague Archfiend Abasi, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon, all were ferocious and powerful. Although the overseas loose cultivators that rush into this grotto were powerful, compared to Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, they were a bit worse. And with all of them attacking, they were unable to resist and fell in their blood pool. After seeing the worldly change that appeared when the passage to Lost City was opened, they hastily rushed over in excitement wanting to be the first one to enter, but they lost their lives as a result. Now, it was calm inside the grotto, but the group of Ye Chuan was not relaxed. Along with whistling sounds, even more experts rushed over. Among them, there were experts of mainland, overseas loose cultivators with unique techniques and also infamous great devils. In order to charge into Lost City, these experts who were on guards against each other in former days threw down their prejudices and cooperated to initiate ferocious attacks. They wanted to break through the defense of Ye Chuan and others and rush in. ¡°This passage will manifest only for a limited time. After the energy of this Blue Sea Heavenly Crystal is used up, it will close. Ye Chuan, we will enter first, quickly follow after us!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch instructed and entered the ancient passage leading numerous sea demon warriors. Hai Lili was unwilling to leave as she was worried about the safety of Ye Chuan and wanted to stay behind to wait for Ye Chuan, but the old man dragged her in. ¡°Jiajia, go first along with the disciples, quick!¡± Ye Chuan instructed without turning his head. He then brandished Iron Blooded Banner to stop devils and ordered, ¡°Little Long¡¯er, you also go, stay close to Jiajia.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Little Long¡¯er didn¡¯t dare to disobey and flew to the side of Zhu Sijia. He understood the meaning of Ye Chuan, he had to stick close to Zhu Sijia and protect her. Although his cultivation was not up to much, his physical body was innately extraordinary. When they truly encountered any danger, his physical body alone would become much more valuable than any treasure and technique. The physical body was the foundation of a cultivator! The danger inside Lost City was unfathomable. The old man Sea Demon Patriarch was very cautious, naturally, Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t dare to be careless. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you also hurry up!¡± Zhu Sijia looked at increasing numbers of devils outside the grotto, then she turned around and followed sea demon warriors leading the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. Roar! Along with a thunderous angry roar, heavy and disorderly footsteps came from outside. Under the command of Gnu Alligator King, the beast group also rushed towards the grotto. Perhaps, they wanted to kill all the living beings on the island, or perhaps, it sensed the aura of Ye Chuan, it was pursuing relentlessly. Looking down from above, one would see a dense beast wave of Gnu Alligators was gushing towards the underground grotto like a sea wave. There were so many Gnu Alligators that one couldn¡¯t see the end. A single Gnu Alligator was nothing worth mentioning. Any overseas loose cultivator and devil could kill it easily. But, when there were hundreds of thousands of Gnu Alligators together, even a Half Sage realm expert would get nervous. It was almost impossible to kill so many Gnu Alligators. The attacks of devils became fiercer and fiercer. They wanted to break through the defense line of Ye Chuan and others and enter Lost City before the beast group arrived here. But, the small entrance was blocked by Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Plague Archfiend Abasi, these four people. As a result, they were unable to enter. At that time, a powerful pressure suddenly descended from the sky. The space in the air suddenly twisted and a pitch black time and space rift appeared. Then, a youth wearing a black robe walked out from that rift. He was tall and he held a halberd with his hand. His eyes were blazing like torches and wherever he looked, all living being trembled involuntarily. Moreover, they wanted to crawl on the ground and prostrate themselves in worship. They didn¡¯t have any willpower to resist. The overseas loose cultivators and devils who were attacking ferociously stopped at the same time and felt their limbs were ice-cold. These great devils who arrogantly ran wild in former days trembled with fear at this moment. They felt intense danger. The beast wave also suddenly stopped. If one carefully watched, then one could see that they were trembling as if they met their nemesis. Who was this cultivator who directly ripped the void to come here? Who was this young man? Ye Chuan was also nervous and his pupils shrunk. In his previous life when he concealed the heaven, ripping void to move large distance within Wilderness World, he also had this kind of ability. But, each usage consumed an amazing amount of energy. In this life, he had to start everything from scratch, but even if he broke through to Sage realm, he might not necessarily be able to use this kind of means. However, the cultivation of this black robed young man who had walked out of the void couldn¡¯t be considered too outstanding. From the energy fluctuation, he was at most Half sage realm like Plague Archfiend Abasi, but how come he was able to use such a heaven-defying means? Did he have some kind of treasure or some kind of heaven-defying technique? The young man who walked out of the void gave Ye Chuan a bad feeling. His glabella was twitching and the feeling of danger was becoming increasingly stronger. On the other side, the expression of Rain Demon, Old Demon of Mount Yin and even Plague Archfiend Abasi was stretched taut. They were similarly feeling great pressure. ¡°Lord Hou, Lord Hou¡­¡­¡± Everyone was very nervous, but there was one person who was overjoyed and excited. He was none other than heavily injured Lord Qi. He suddenly climbed out from the pile of corpses and cried agitatedly while running to welcome the black robed young man, ¡°Lord Hou, you finally came, finally came¡­¡­¡± He¡­¡­, is he the Qing Tianhou who claimed to be supreme under the heaven? The heart of Ye Chuan sunk, recalling those seven drops of blood that appeared on the tortoiseshell. It seemed the true danger of this operation was this Qing Tianhou! Since he used stratagem to wipe out 200,000 soldiers under him and also seized his Qingtian Wardrum, would Qing Tianhou let this matter drop? Would Lord Qi who finally got his backer let him off? Sure enough, Lord Qi impatiently said before he arrived in front of Qing Tianhou, ¡°Lord Hou, you have come at just the right time, kill that brat Ye Chuan, everything is caused by that brat. He is also the one that opened the passage to Lost City and is blocking now. Lord Hou, kill him, that brat intentionally attracted the beast wave and wiped out our army of 200,000 soldiers, kill¡­¡­¡± ¡°200,000 soldiers dead?¡± Qing Tianhou slowly landed on the ground and he calmly looked at Lord Qi as if 200,000 soldiers were not worth mentioning in his eyes. ¡°Yes, dead, that brat Ye Chuan attracted this beast wave and wiped out our army! Eh¡­¡­, no, not¡­¡­¡± At first, Lord Qi nodded his head, then he hastily shook his head and his complexion became deathly pale as if he recalled something. He then stammered, ¡°Although the army is defeated and dispersed, not¡­. not everyone is dead, just dispersed. Lord Hou, just give me three days of time and I will gather the army, Lord Hou¡­¡­¡± Lord Qi who was excited just now suddenly felt ice-cold and his entire body was drenched with cold sweat. Even when he was about to be killed by Ye Chuan¡¯s Iron Blooded Banner, he was not so scared. ¡°No need, 200,000 soldiers are dead, dead.¡± Qing Tianhou replied in a flat tone. ¡°Lord Hou, I should die, this subordinate should die, I beg you, please give me a chance, Lord Hou¡­¡­¡± Just after Qing Tianhou spoke, Lord Qi who set himself high above the masses and commanded over 200,000 soldiers in former days trembled. He then knelt down while begging loudly. The result, before he finished begging, he ceased to speak and lost his chance to speak forever. A cold blade light streak across the sky like lightning. Lord Qi who was kneeling on the ground suddenly stiffened and stopped moving. Then, along with the sea breeze, his body slid into two halves. ¡°Since 200,000 army ceased to exist, why on earth should this Lord Hou keep you?¡± Qing Tianhou faintly said. His complexion never changed and he never moved from the beginning to the end. Including Ye Chuan, no one saw his movement of cutting Lord Qi into two halves. An unprecedented chill suddenly appeared in the hearts of everyone present. At this moment, these ferocious devils also trembled with fear. Chapter 490: Heaven defying migh t The arrival of Qing Tianhou brought huge pressure to everyone. Who could contend against such a heaven-defying monster? The overseas loose cultivators and devils who originally wanted to charge into Lost City began to retreat in succession. With an opponent like Qing Tianhou, let alone charging into Lost City, even if they were able to luckily enter the Lost City and found any treasure, who would dare to take it in front of Qing Tianhou? Knowing a person by repute was not as good as meeting them face to face, in recent years, the reputation of Qing Tianhou was at the apex in the western region. Now, his appearance here made people feel uneasy and despair. Such a heaven-defying figure, no wonder, even Da Qin King who was known as overweeningly ambitious emperor throughout all ages somewhat dreaded him and used the method of enlisting enemy by offering amnesty. Roar! A roar suddenly came from the beast wave that had come to a sudden stop, then the beast wave continued to advance ferociously. Gnu Alligator King was unwilling to submit to the pressure of Qing Tianhou and it ordered the beast wave to advance. ¡°A grain of rice also release brilliance!¡± Qing Tianhou sneered and coldly scanned the thickly dotted beast wave whose end couldn¡¯t be seen. He then suddenly raised the halberd in his hand. A hint of ice-cold blade light suddenly swept across the battlefield. Then, over a thousand Gnu Alligators in the front uttered sad calls and fell without exception. All of them were cut into two halves. Qing Tianhou was still standing on the same spot as if he had never moved, but everyone on the scene along with vast beast wave felt ice-cold and shivered in fear. One blade slash killed over one thousand Gnu Alligators, what kind of ability was this? The beast wave that dared to charge forward even when facing 200,000 soldiers suddenly felt instinctive fear and their formation collapsed. Under the command of Gnu Alligator King, these yao beasts didn¡¯t fear death, but this didn¡¯t mean they were not scared. Qing Tianhou who held halberd shrouded the heart of the beast wave as if he was a demon god. Now, even Gnu Alligator King didn¡¯t dare to take a step forward. ¡°Run!¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan was stretch taut. He turned around and ran, leading Old Demon of Mount Yin and others towards the underground passage. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Plague Archfiend Abasi immediately rushed towards the underground passage upon hearing Ye Chuan¡¯s word. They didn¡¯t dare to waste even a second. The cultivation base of Plague Archfiend Abasi was sufficiently strong, but after witnessing the means of Qing Tianhou, even he didn¡¯t have any certainty of victory. Even though they were similarly Half Sage realm expert, their fighting power was far apart. Even if Ghost King Dusen was here, he couldn¡¯t be compared to Qing Tianhou! This Qing Tianhou who had appeared suddenly could be the strongest person under Sage realm. Other than a Sage realm expert, no one was his opponent! Old Demon of Mount Yin and others¡¯ speed was very fast, but, just when they were about to rush into the underground passage, they discovered that Ye Chuan who originally was in the front had fallen behind. Turning around, they saw the face of Ye Chuan was red. Not only was he unable to keep up the pace, but an invisible force was also pulling him outside the grotto. ¡°Kid, after wiping out this Lord Hou¡¯s army, do you think you can slip away?¡± The cold voice of Qing Tianhou came from outside the grotto. His hand was grabbing the void, wanting to pull Ye Chuan out from far away. Ye Chuan roared and stabbed the Iron Blooded Banner into the ground and tightly grabbed the flagpole. But, he was still pulled back along with the Iron Blooded Banner. Even when he circulated nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body sparing no effort was useless. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were greatly surprised. They quickly rushed over and pulled Ye Chuan in succession. The result, not only they were unable to rescue Ye Chuan, even they were also pulled by that invisible force. Little by little, they were dragged outside the underground grotto. Even with four of them together, they actually were not the opponent of Qing Tianhou! Outside the grotto, many overseas loose cultivators and devils who originally were surging with killing intent shivered and became pale upon seeing this. Sine stood still and some directly fled wanting to run far away from this Bellowing Waves Island. Everyone had experienced the fighting power of Ye Chuan¡¯s ground, but even those four were unable to resist at all, who was the opponent of Qing Tianhou now? Overseas loose cultivators and devil who knew their limits gave up and fled in succession. As for the remaining, either their mind was a blank space now or they were extremely vicious daredevils who didn¡¯t shed tears until they sew their coffin. They hated to give up. Roar! With a roar, Plague Archfiend Abasi transformed into Three Eyed Toad, then bracing himself, he resisted the majority of the pressure. Immediately afterward, Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon felt the reduction in pressure. They then took a deep breath and used various kinds of techniques to resist that invisible force. Ye Chuan bit the tip of his tongue and spat his life essence blood on Iron Blooded Banner. The Iron Blooded Banner suddenly fluttered and stuck still on the ground. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou was somewhat surprised and taking a glance at Iron Blooded Banner in the hands of Ye Chuan, he said, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Iron Blooded Banner of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng? How come it is in your hand?¡± Qing Tianhou suddenly stopped, then slowly walked towards Ye Chuan. The overseas loose cultivators and devils outside the grotto stepped aside in succession. ¡°If I say I snatched this Iron Blooded Banner from the hands of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, do you believe?¡± Ye Chuan replied and retreated a few steps. He then coldly watched approaching Qing Tianhou while thinking of a way out. He then secretly instructed, ¡°Rhodes, Rain Demon, Abasi, you three, go first.¡± ¡°Your Excellency¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others exclaimed in succession. Since Qing Tianhou was approaching closer and closer, if they three left first, then what about Ye Chuan? ¡°I have a way, you all, leave first, quick!¡± Ye Chuan urgently urged. Even if Old Demon of Mount Yin and others remained behind, they were not his opponent. Out of Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing was best. Besides, the Blue Sea Heavenly Crystal left behind by Sea Demon Patriarch was already dim and the energy contained within it was almost exhausted. Now, the passage leading to Lost City was also already dimmer and swaying. It would close before long. ¡°Your Excellency, be careful!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others resolutely looked at each other and left first. The rushed into the ancient passage and disappeared. ¡°Hahaha, who is State Teacher? Kid, with your cultivation, are you capable of snatching Iron Blooded Banner from the hands of State Teacher?¡± Qing Tianhou laughed heartily. He then suddenly rushed over. Seeing Old Demon of Mount Yin and others had left first, he knew that something was wrong and he wanted to stop at least Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan however suddenly swayed left and right and Qing Tianhou was only able to grab an afterimage. At the critical moment, Ye Chuan finally displayed Cyan Feather Technique and Peerless Style Technique to dodge Qing Tianhou. But, just when he was about to step into the ancient passage, he suddenly stopped as a majestic power came from behind him and his limbs instantly became ice-cold and he was unable to move. Qing Tianhou had grabbed the void stopping Ye Chuan when he was just half a step away from the ancient passage. He then coldly said, ¡°Kid, regardless of what relation you have with State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, you are dead today. You will be buried together with my army. Even if State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was here, he will not be able to rescue you!¡± Ye Chuan was just a step away from the ancient passage, but this distance was very large for Ye Chuan at this moment. He unexpectedly was unsuccessful even though he used Peerless Style Technique to rush over. This Qing Tianhou who called himself Lord Hou, although his cultivation was Half Sage realm like Plague Archfiend Abasi, he was unfathomable and far above him! Chapter 491: Experts exchanging blows Nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans circulated crazily. Ye Chuan used Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets to resist the might of Qing Tianhou. The energy fluctuation within his body rose, become more and more violent, and he began to tremble. But, he was unable to take that final half a step. The ancient passage to Lost City was right before his eyes, but he was unable to step into it! The Blue Sea Heavenly Crystal left behind by Sea Demon Patriarch had already become dim and cracks began to appear on it. This was the sign of all energy being used up. If he didn¡¯t enter now, then this passage would close very soon. Qing Tianhou also noticed the unusualness of the passage, so while maintaining the pressure on Ye Chuan, he flew over, wanting to seize this final chance to rush in, ¡°Kid, I have to thank you for making it possible for this Lord Hou enter Lost City, the Holy Land of Sea Demon Clan, so, I will give you a painless and quick death! Don¡¯t think out struggling, it is useless, also don¡¯t hope for any miracle to occur, it is impossible, no one can save you!¡± Qing Tianhou raised the halberd in his hand and ice-cold blade light streaked towards the head of Ye Chuan. This fellow already expected this? Even after knowing the army under him was wiped out, did he remain unmoved and waited for Sea Demon Patriarch to open the passage? Ye Chuan was shocked and biting the tip of his tongue, he circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body at even higher speed. His body emitted cracking sounds as if his body was unable to bear the violent energy and wanted to explode. Then, his body instinctively swayed and the sign of dragon transformation appeared. On his skin, indistinct dragon scales appeared and he vaguely turned into a true demonic dragon. Under this unprecedented pressure, the comprehension of Demonic Dragon Sutra advanced further and at this critical moment, this technique activated. ¡°Eh¡­¡­, this is demonic dragon¡¯s aura, kid, could it be that you are¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou exclaimed in surprise and hesitated, even a hint of fear appeared on his face. But, after hesitation for a moment, he continued to slash Ye Chuan. Roar! Although Ye Chuan was unable to move, his energy fluctuation continued to rise, and just a moment before he felt that his body was about to explode, he finally regained the movement of his limbs. He then subconsciously held his head high and roared. Unexpectedly, this roar turned into a dragon roar and his entire body was covered with dragon scales. He then punched and the powerful fist wind changed the direction of the halberd. Powerful! This punch, just how powerful was it? Outside the grotto, the complexion of onlooking overseas loose cultivators and devils changed as they were greatly shocked by this punch of Ye Chuan. Rank 5 Daoist Master! Under the pressure of Qing Tianhou, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t collapse, on the contrary, he forcibly brokethrough the bottleneck. Unfortunately, although his cultivation realm rose, he was unable to condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talismans. He still had nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans and a vague qi cyclone. This qi cyclone was changing continuously, vaguely resembling Little Long¡¯er when he transform into his dragon form. Could it be that the new Heaven Swallowing Talisman condensed would be Demonic Dragon Talisman? Ye Chuan was excited, but he didn¡¯t have any time to think. Just when he was about to enter the passage, even more powerful pressure descended from heaven again. Qing Tianhou¡¯s expression sunk and looked solemn. He then rushed over with halberd in his hand, ¡°Kid, you are amazing, in such a moment, you actually made a breakthrough. But, let alone breaking through to trifling Rank 5 Daoist Master realm, even if you instantly breakthrough to Half Sage realm, you are dead today. All Half-Sage realm experts under heaven are defeated under my halberd, they either surrender or were killed!¡± Qing Tianhou had not expected Ye Chuan to be able to move so quickly. He immediately initiated a ferocious attack. And instantly, Ye Chuan was unable to move again after making a single punch. Before making a breakthrough, he was not the opponent, and even after making a breakthrough to Rank 5 Daoist Master realm, he was still not the opponent! Looking at the blade light approaching him, a powerless feeling appeared in the heart of Ye Chuan and he felt hopeless for the first time. It was not that he was not strong enough, rather Qing Tianhou was truly too heaven-defying and abnormal! Even in his past life when he concealed the heaven, he hadn¡¯t seen such a heaven-defying fellow. Although his cultivation realm was only Half Sage realm, his fighting power was superior to many Sage realm experts! Are all the experts of the world beyond the highest heaven so heaven-defying and abnormal? Ye Chuan sighed as he finally experienced the power of the expert of the world beyond the highest heaven. It was no wonder that the cultivators of Wilderness world had misgivings towards them. In the same realm, they were not the opponent! Suddenly, a powerful energy fluctuation descended from heaven! ¡°What a big tone, all Half Sage realm experts either surrendered or were killed by you? Qing Tianhou, are you going back on your word, do you want to publicly betray Da Qin Dynasty?¡± A vaguely familiar voice resounded, followed by a whistling arrow. This arrow blocked the halberd that was about to reach the neck of Ye Chuan. In the sky, a white-robed middle-aged man walked out from a torn void. He then stepped into the grotto, holding a simple and unadorned longbow. State Teacher? Seeing this white-robed middle-aged man, Ye Chuan and Qing Tianhou were shocked. They had never thought that State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng of Da Qin Dynasty had also unexpectedly come to Overseas World in person. ¡°State Teacher, even if this Lord Hou truly betrays, what can you do?¡± The complexion of Qing Tianhou was solemn, but his tone was still insolent. Even in front of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, he spoke without scruple. In Da Qin Dynasty, there were over a hundred dukes, but only he alone dared to speak like this. He was incomparably proud, overbearing and insolent. ¡°Qing Tianhou, cooked rice can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken carelessly. There is no harm to speak like this in front of this lordship, but if you are so wanton in front of His Majesty too, then no matter how powerful you are and no matter how deep your background is, you will also be dead.¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng paused and added, ¡°Considering it was difficult for you to cultivate to this level, let me remind you again, there are so many nobles in the world, but although the situation is unstable now, not a single noble dared to take the initiative to rebel, do you know why?¡± ¡°Why?¡± Qing Tianhou asked. ¡°Because, those who dared are already dead. The reigning emperor is unprecedented Da Qin King, is the real emperor throughout the ages. If His Majesty says you are a duke, then you are a duke, and if His Majesty says you are not, then you nothing. The experts of Outer World are amazing? Don¡¯t think that this lordship truly fears you!¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng looked alike a refined scholar, but the longbow in his hands gave a strong sense of danger. After he left Iron Blooded Banner in Cloud Mist Sect, he had found this even more terrifying big killing weapon for who knows where. ¡°Good, State Teacher Jiang, then let us fight! If this Lord Hou loses, this Lord Hou will leave; if win, then don¡¯t blame this Lord Hou for being ruthless, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou roared with laughter and suddenly rushing over, he ferociously slashed with his halberd. Then, in the blink of an eye, the blade light rose sharply. Compared to when he was attacking Ye Chuan, this attack was several times faster and the power was also on a completely different level. Even Ye Chuan could hardly see the movement of Qing Tianhou. He could barely see shadows. Experts exchanging blows, it was extremely short and ferocious! Facing well-matched State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, Qing Tianhou didn¡¯t hold back anything. His single blade slash made overseas loose cultivators and devils standing outside the grotto tremble. All of them felt as if this blade was slashing towards them. Chapter 492: Ancient graveyard Qing Tianhou was fierce. He ruthlessly chopped down. But, just before the ice-cold blade light landed, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng suddenly moved lightly to one side like a leaf, then he raised the longbow in his hand and draw it. How could he injure people without an arrow? Everyone was surprised and wondered whether this State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng became muddleheaded or was so nervous that he made a mistake. But, Qing Tianhou with dense killing intent was nervous all of a sudden. And at that time, an air current suddenly arrived in front of him, and this strong wind blowing against his face changed into a vague arrow, shooting towards his glabella along with whistling sound! Qing Tianhou retreated and dodged this terrifying arrow formed from strong wind. Without arrows, it was even better than arrows! State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng didn¡¯t get into close quarter combat against Qing Tianhou and his momentum appeared not so amazing, but his one move terrified everyone! ¡°Qing Tianhou, the arrow of this lordship, how was it?¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng asked with a sneer. ¡°What is this treasure?¡± The complexion of Qing Tianhou sunk, but his energy fluctuation continued to rise and his killing intent became denser and looked as if he was about to go crazy and massacre a thousand li. ¡°Could it be that this is the legendary defining divine weapon of Da Qin Dynasty, Emperor Bow?¡± ¡°Yes, this is Emperor Bow. Before I left, I intentionally borrowed this treasure from His Majesty. Originally, I brought this treasure only as a precaution, but didn¡¯t expect to truly use it.¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng nodded his head. The onlookers exclaimed as they suddenly saw the light. They finally understood why that the longbow in the hands of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was so powerful. According to the legend, when the forefathers of Da Qin King campaigned all across the country, conquering a large territory and founding a country, they got the help of a super expert of Outer World. Before the death of the first Da Qin King, other than the inheritance of this big country Da Qin Dynasty, three defining divine weapons were also passed down. The first one was the peak cultivation technique created especially for the imperial family. The second one a great killing weapon that was said to be ten million jin heavy, Emperor Cauldron. The final one was Emperor Bow that claimed to be able to shoot down even a Sage realm expert! Seeing the longbow in the hands of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, Qing Tianhou became solemn as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Below, Ye Chuan was also shocked. He had already experienced how powerful the Emperor Fist was. The formidable opponent Da Qing Crown Prince Li Guanghan had made him deeply understand how ferocious the Emperor Fist was. Now, he experienced the power of Emperor Bow, but what about Emperor Cauldron he had yet to see? With the protection of these three defining divine weapons, it was no wonder that the fate of Da Qin Dynasty was so powerful and prosperous, and although it had gone through thousands of instability, it still stood tall. Ye Chuan made a prompt decision and rushed into the dark passage. Regardless of whether State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng won or Qing Tianhou won, he didn¡¯t have the ability to deal with any of them. If he wished to fight against them one day, then there was only one way, he had to raise his cultivation base and condense many Heaven Swallowing Talismans! At the end of this underground passage, there was an ancient transmission formation with a pile of obsidians. Perhaps, the energy was about to be used up or perhaps, the time was almost up, the light of this ancient transmission formation was getting dimmer with only a faint shadow. Lost City, I am coming! Ye Chuan held his head high and uttered a long, loud cry, accelerating towards that ancient transmission array. In the blink of an eye, he felt as if the sky and earth were spinning as the ancient transmission activated and emitted radiance. Just after that, the Blue Sea Heavenly Crystal left behind by Sea Demon Patriarch outside the passage completely shattered, exhausting all energy. Then, the ground shook and rumbling sound resounded. Standing on the transmission formation, Ye Chuan looked behind and saw that the underground passage had begun to collapse and the energy fluctuation of restriction rippled in the air. Now, to open up the passage again, one needed to wait 100 years. Fortunately, he arrived at the final moment! Ye Chuan was pleased in his heart, but in the next moment, his pupils shrunk. In the midst of the collapsing passage, he suddenly saw two figures. One was holding an ice-cold halberd and the other was holding a longbow. The two of them were rushing over at high speed and they were even more terrifying than this collapse! State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng and Qing Tianhou who were locked in a fierce fight just a moment ago unexpectedly joined hand at this moment when the entrance to Lost City was about to be completely closed. Ye Chuan took half a step back and slightly bent his knees, then circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he punched on the wall beside him. And along with a bang, the underground passage collapsed faster and the ancient transmission formation was completely separated by pieces of rocks and soil. At that time, Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng who were rushing in urgently cursed in unison, and Ye Chuan who was standing in the transmission formation suddenly felt strong danger as two powerful auras locked on to him. Facing two enemies, moreover, those two being heaven-defying Half Sage realm experts, who could block them? Ye Chuan was startled. He could feel that the blade light of Qing Tainhou¡¯s halberd and the arrow of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was quickly approaching him. They easily pierced through those earth and rocks. The space at the end of this passage was narrow, let alone block, there was not even a space to dodge. Fortunately, the ancient transmission formation spun rapidly at that moment and disappeared with a red light. Angry roars still came from behind him and Ye Chuan felt stabbing pain on his back. Then, after he felt as if the sky and earth were spinning, he appeared in another space. He turned around to look and saw a huge fissure rippling in the space. It seemed Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng were joining hands and using a heaven-defying technique to rip open space. Powerful! Those two were truly the strongest people among Half Sage realm experts. Even now, they were already this powerful, if they break through to Sage realm someday, how much more powerful they would become? The heart of Ye Chuan shook. He then felt his back and found that his back was dripping with blood. He wondered whether the blade light of Qing Tianhou or the arrow of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng had grazed his back. But, looking at that terrifying rift, he turned around and fled, fearing those two heaven-defying monsters would rip the space and come here in the next moment. After running for more than ten li, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped and became tense. When he had transmitted here just a moment ago, he had not noticed, but after running for a while, he suddenly discovered that there were graves along the way. This was very strange. And after looking around carefully, he discovered that this was a tall mountain reaching through the clouds. The sky was gloomy and overcast. He couldn¡¯t discern whether it was a daytime or nighttime. There were graves everywhere. Some graves were big and some were small. There were some graves with mottled stele where the name and life experience of the grave owner were carved on it, but some graves had nothing. In addition, dense death qi was rippling in the air. This, is this Lost City, the Holy Land of Sea Demon Clan? Ye Chuan was surprised. This was beyond his expectation. Originally, he had thought that this place would be full of vitality, good luck and treasures. But, who would have thought that it was actually this kind of place? It seemed that it was better to call this place ancient graveyard than calling it a racial Holy Land. Which ethnic racial Holy Land would be so gloomy and overcast with so many graves? Ye Chuan took a few deep breaths and forcibly calmed down. He looked forward but didn¡¯t see any trace of Zhu Sijia, Rain Demon and others. Even after spreading his divine sense, he couldn¡¯t sense their aura. The interval between setting foot on ancient transmission formation between them was not that long, but it appeared as if he and them had arrived in two different worlds. This was such a vast graveyard, but there was only a living person him here! Chapter 493: New talisman On the dark and gloomy ground, Ye Chuan walked alone through the graves. This mountain was very tall. Standing at the foot of this mountain, one couldn¡¯t even see the top of this mountain, it had disappeared into the clouds. It looked like this majestic mountain connected heaven and earth. The more he walked towards the top of this mountain, the narrower his field of vision, and the denser the mist covering the sky looked. Not mentioning this mist affected the line of sight, it also vaguely suppressed the energy fluctuation within his body, clearly was a restriction. At the foot of the mountain, Ye Chuan had tested it. Even after circulating nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he was unable to soar in the sky, and even if he used Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, he was unable to fly. And at the same time, the range of his divine sense was also greatly weakened, he couldn¡¯t sense anything even after he spread his divine sense. The sky was gloomy and overcast, in addition, he could only see graves around with ancient restriction everywhere¡­¡­ This peculiar ancient space could make people afraid and alert. If an ordinary person was here instead of Ye Chuan, then his legs might have gone soft already. But, Ye Chuan was moving forward. As Heaven Concealing Great Sage of the past, he had experienced many ancient ominous domains. But, his speed was getting slower and slower and his heart was also feeling heavier and heavier. This place was too strange, even of Zhu Sijia, Rain Demon and others were transmitted here, it was very unlikely to find them. Looking for them was like searching for a needle in a haystack. Ye Chuan sized up all around and suddenly stopped. He then took out a large number of crystal stones and arranged a simple demon annihilation formation, then he stuck Iron Blooded Banner in the key point of this formation. After that, he sat down cross-legged leaning against the Iron Blooded Banner and took out Qingtian Wardrum he had forcibly seized. The danger in the front was unfathomable, so Ye Chuan decided to refine this Qingtian Wardrum first. No matter what time it was, raising one¡¯s cultivation and fighting power was the most important matter. Not speaking much, just breaking through a small realm or even condensing a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman might become very important at the critical moment. Since he was surrounded by dense grey mist and couldn¡¯t see anything in the distance, even if Qing Tianhou or State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng suddenly caught up to him, he would not be able to see them. Now, advancing forward was very dangerous and unfathomable, but stopping might be even more dangerous, still, Ye Chuan calmly adjusted his strategy. He didn¡¯t even urgently refined, rather carefully sized up the wardrum first. This wardrum was unique in shape. It was six or seven times bigger than normal wardrum. It needed several people to beat it. The surface of this wardrum was also made with unknown material. It was tough, tensile and very elastic. Even Dragon Slaying Flying Sword was unable to tear it, only left behind a faint mark. On the body of this wardrum, many profound lines were engraved. It seemed to resemble some kind of formation, but the method was clearly different from the methods of Wilderness World. Clearly, it was the method of Outer World. Even with the rich experience of his previous life, Ye Chuan was unable to comprehend it in a short time. He lightly hit the wardrum and a low drum sound pierced through the grey mist, and his divine sense could actually pierce through this grey mist along with the drum sound. This drumbeat had marvelous power. It made him recall the frightening might of this wardrum which made it possible to stop the frightening beast wave before. ¡°Qing Tianhou, Qing Tianhou¡­¡­, is this wardrum a big killing weapon he brought from Outer World or the treasure he refined in person?¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and after observing for a while, he began to refine. From the palm of his hands, a scorching hot flame quickly rose, and under the heat of this flame, this wardrum began to soften. Then, when the heating was just right, he dripped several drops of essence blood on it and then sprayed a mouthful of origin life aura¡­¡­ Generally, refining different treasures required different techniques. Now, Ye Chuan was using the most common technique of Wilderness World, This technique was nothing special and the refining speed was also slowly, but the effect was very good. The main requirements for a Refining Master were strength and flame control. If one¡¯s cultivation was not sufficiently powerful, then one could only sign helplessly. If one¡¯s cultivation was sufficiently powerful, but was not good enough in flame control, then one might just exhaust one¡¯s vitality and gain nothing. Often, the more common and the more ordinary a technique was, the more experience one needed, it was even more difficult to be proficient. Fortunately, although the current cultivation of Ye Chuan was not high, it was just enough, and as a Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he didn¡¯t lack experience in flame control. The mysterious Qingtian Wardrum slowly changed under his refinement and blood red light appeared on its surface. Roar! A furious roar suddenly came from the depths of this wardrum. This was the spirit brand left behind by Qing Tianhou. It shouted, ¡°Brat, you dare to refine the treasure of this Lord Hou?¡± A divine sense transformed into a blade light and suddenly shot out from inside the wardrum towards the neck of Ye Chuan. A wisp of divine sense along with the spirit brand was an avatar! Even millions upon millions of years ago, ancient sages would use this means! The spirit brand left behind by Qing Tianhou in wardrum suddenly initiated a swift and fierce attack at Ye Chuan. The more powerful a treasure was, often it would contain more unknown dangers, especially ancient treasures that couldn¡¯t be seen through, they were even more dangerous. Historically, there were many well-known Refining Masters that didn¡¯t die in the hands of their enemy, rather died in the process of refining weapons. This was the reason. The attack of Qing Tianhou¡¯s spirit brand was especially ferocious, but Ye Chuan was already prepared. The Iron Blooded Banner behind him suddenly screamed, then the banner rapidly fluttered and smashed the spirit brand of Qing Tianhou that had transformed into a blade light flying. ¡°I am refining your treasure, what can you do?¡± Ye Chuan sneered, then biting the tip of his tongue, he spat out a mouthful of essence blood as he circulated nine Heaven Swallowing Talismans. Soon, the spirit brand of Qing Tianhou inside Qingtian Wardrum was completely eradicated, then a red light flashed and the huge wardrum shrunk into a red dot and entered the body of Ye Chuan. Immediately afterward, a majestic energy erupted out from Ye Chuan. A portion of it fused with his flesh, blood, bones and limbs, but the majority of it fused with qi cyclone beside several Heaven Swallowing Talismans in his dantian, causing this qi cyclone to fluctuate continuously, showing the sign of new Heaven Swallowing Talisman condensing. ¡°Give me strength, let me breakthrough!¡± Ye Chuan seized this opportune moment and swallowed down a bottle of Pei Yuan Pills he had refined personally and roared. He then took out Cyan Lotus Lamp and chanted Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets. The cyan light of this simple and unadorned Cyan Lotus Lamp suddenly rose sharply. And under the illumination of this cyan light, the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan rose steadily. And when the energy fluctuation rose to the extreme level, he suddenly trembled and forcibly broke through to Rank 6 Daoist Master realm from Rank 5 Daoist Master realm, and in the next moment, the qi cyclone in his dantian condensed into a wardrum shaped talisman. Now, with a thought, this wardrum shaped talisman would quiver and a low and powerful drumbeat would spread all around and dense grey mist would ripple all around. The tenth Heaven Swallowing Talisman! After refining the treasure of Qing Tianhou, Qingtian Wardrum, Ye Chuan pressed on to make a breakthrough and also condensed a new talisman he was longing for a long time. One Heaven Swallowing Talisman gave him the strength of 18,000 jin, now with ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans, he had the terrifying strength of 180,000 jin! Ye Chuan who had entered Lost City at the final moment had yet to find any sealed treasure of Sea Demon Clan, but he obtained an unexpected fortune. Refining this wardrum of Qing Tianhou meant seizing a portion of his origin energy and even fate in a sense! At the horizon, an ear-deafening furious roar, pierced through the grey mist and resounded. In addition, dense killing intent rippled in the air. This time, it was not some avatar, rather the true Qing Tianhou was howling. The matter Ye Chuan was worried the most had happened. Sure enough, Qing Tianhou used a great technique to rip the void and chased after him! Without any hesitation, Ye Chuan put away Iron Blooded Banner and Qingtian Wardrum, and plunged into the dense mist. Chapter 494: Ancient tomb restriction After running wildly for over an hour, Ye Chuan slowed down. Looking at it, he had been running wildly for so long, but he had not even reached half way point of the mountain. This mountain shrouded with grey mist was very tall. The higher one went to this mountain, the denser the mist, and now, Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t even see one hundred meters away clearly. Ye Chuan stopped and panted. He then spread his divine sense and listened carefully. Now, he didn¡¯t hear the voice of Qing Tianhou and also didn¡¯t sense the latter¡¯s aura. This eased Ye Chuan a bit and he began to examine the things he could use for a battle. At this moment, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Plague Archfiend Abasi, these three powerful followers were not beside him. Moreover, Zhu Sijia, Little Long¡¯er and others were also not here. Only Evil Eyed Cow Demons, Six-Winged Golden Cicada, puppet doll Hei Kui, human-faced snakes, super electric eel and others yao beasts residing inside the space of Cyan Lotus Lamp were with him at the moment. In the sea, the destructive power of Super Electric Eel was astonishing. It was the nemesis of all water attributed yao beasts. But, in the dry land, its combat power was greatly reduced. Fortunately, he still had Iron Blooded Banner, Dragon Slaying Flying Sword and other treasure, in addition, he had just made a breakthrough, increasing his fighting power. Ye Chuan used a technique to summon all yao beasts and all treasures he had. He then carefully judged for a while, and leaving behind only Six-Winged Golden Cicada, puppet doll Hei Kui and 12 human-faced snakes, he put away numerous Evil Eyed Cow Demons, Super Electric Eel and other yao beasts. After that, he looked towards a pile of treasure and finally chose Dragon Slaying Flying Sword given to him by the cyan robed Seventh Elder. In a chaotic battle, the power of Iron Blooded Banner was greatest without a doubt and it could completely show its violent power. But, in this dangerous and unfathomable tall mountain, blood-red Iron Blooded Banner was too conspicuous, and it was not easy to conceal like Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. ¡°Your Excellency, where is this?¡± The puppet doll Hei Kui looked all around and asked. He was clearly ill at ease, and although his face was still cute, his voice was hoarse. Since Ye Chuan went to sea, he had not come out. Although Cyan Lotus Space was quite good to recuperate and was also effective for cultivation, staying inside for a long time, he couldn¡¯t help feeling stifling. Cyan Lotus Space could never provide such vast freedom of the outside world. After coming out after such a long period of time, the old devil Hei Kui thought that he would freely roam around, but, immediately after coming out, he felt something was wrong and instinctively felt danger. As for Six-Winged Golden Cicada and 12 human-faced snakes, although they were unable to speak, their body was stretched taut, clearly were also nervous. ¡°The good news is that we have come to the racial Holy Land of an ancient race. Allegedly, there are origin energy and countless treasures here. But, it is upto luck and skill whether you obtain them or not.¡± Ye Chuan replied with a sincere smile, merely, this smile was somewhat bitter. ¡°A racial holy land? How could it be?¡± Hei Kui exclaimed and found it hard to believe. He had never explored ancient racial holy land, but as a former great devil, he had heard about them. In the long history of Wilderness World, there was no lack of legends related to ancient racial holy lands passed down from generation to generation. And according to the legends, which ancient racial holy land wasn¡¯t huge, majestic and full of vitality? How could it be so overcast and lifeless? If Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t said it, then Hei Kui would have believed that they were in ancient ominous domain, or even and ancient battlefield. Just taking a glance around, there were tombs everywhere, who would believe if someone says that this was ancient racial holy land? ¡°Have you heard about Sea Demon Clan? This place is the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan called Lost City. It is a racial holy land abandoned millions of years ago.¡± Ye Chuan replied in a low voice. Now, he suddenly understood what the name Lost City implied a little. This holy land was abandoned and was laying waste for who knows how many years, naturally, it had already deformed beyond recognition. No wonder, Sea Demon Clan was unable to survive here. ¡°Then, what about the bad news?¡± Hei Kui asked. The so-called good news was already very bad, then what about the bad news? Hei Kui had a very bad premonition in his heart. Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t have summoned him if everything was fine. He feared that there was big trouble. ¡°The bad news is we are lost in this strange world. But, what is even more unfortunate is, two Half Sage realm experts are chasing us. If we are caught by them, then I fear we will not survive even if we have ten lives.¡± Ye Chuan answered truthfully. ¡°Your Excellency, can you put me back inside Cyan Lotus Space?¡± Hei Kui looked at Ye Chuan and said. Although he still had that cute smile on his face, his eyes however showed a bitter smile. One Rank 7 Daoist Master realm was already enough to deal with him, but Half Sage realm expert, furthermore two, was there anything he could do? This great devil who once dominated one region directly gave up. He didn¡¯t even dare to have thoughts of resisting. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, even if those two Half Sage realm experts caught up, their target is me, so in worst case scenario, only I will die. But, of course, if I die, then you are also unable to live.¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°Now, your task is to explore the way ahead. In the past, you had stayed in Evil Dragon Abyss with dense blood mist for a long time, this small amount of grey mist is nothing, go.¡± Ye Chuan stood up and began to set off towards the top of this mountain. The 12 human-faced snakes clustered around him and Six-Winged Golden Cicada sat on his left shoulder. As for old devil Hei Kui, he was terrified as he didn¡¯t know what kind of dangers were in the front, but after looking at Ye Chuan, he had to bow and accept the order. He then took out a sharp dagger from his bosom and cautiously enter the thick mist to explore the way. Although his speed was slow, being small, he disappeared into the fog very quickly. Behind, Ye Chuan with 12 human-faced snakes clustered around him slowly followed after him. The grey mist was dense and the field of vision slowly reduced from 100 meters to 80 meters, 70 meters¡­¡­ Moreover, it was getting narrower and narrower. It was unknown what kind of dangers lurked ahead, but Ye Chuan calmly advanced step by step. He even sized up the graves while walking. It was dangerous inside the grave. A powerful evil spirit or ghost might suddenly jump out of them, but it was also possible that treasures were sealed in them, it was upto luck. After being trapped in God Burial Valley for millions of years, Ye Chuan was already accustomed to walking through the graves. In addition, he knew how to judge the grave¡¯s underground scale and also whether it was dangerous or not. After carefully sizing up for a while, he discovered some regular patterns. There were many types of graves on this mountain. They were different in size and shape, but one thing was common. All graves emitted a strong aura of danger and had the support of the ancient restriction. It seemed that either big killing weapons were sealed inside or the graves were confined and isolated from the world to prevent future generations from digging. Of course, there was another possibility, i.e., preventing something from coming out of the graves. This discovery suddenly made Ye Chuan feel chill. If these graves truly imprisoned some ancient evil spirits, then adding all the graves in this mountain, how many evil spirits were imprisoned? After carefully examining the restrictions on the grave, Ye Chuan felt even more uneasy. He was unable to understand the overwhelming majority of restrictions, but judging from the fluctuation of the restriction, the technique was extraordinary. Clearly, it wasn¡¯t laid out by an ordinary person! Chapter 498: Sand Demon The sandstorm was raging and the sky of this entire ancient city was covered with sand. Ye Chuan used all his strength to catch up, but after a while, not only he didn¡¯t catch up, but that black shadow was also getting further away. Now, he couldn¡¯t even see it clearly. That shadow resembled a child and also resembled a small hound and an evil spirit. Ye Chuan continued to rush forward. He chased after that shadow while locking on the position of that shadow with his divine sense. But, after chasing for a while, he suddenly noticed that he had lost his way, he didn¡¯t know where east, south, west and north was. Looking forward, he could only see sand all around. He couldn¡¯t see anything that was more than 10 meters away. And after a careful examination for a while, he vaguely noticed sand covered residential houses, rocks and tiles. The wind continued to blow and it seemed that there was nothing unusual around. The ancient city was already accustomed to such sandstorm. At that time, the glabella of Ye Chuan suddenly twitched as he felt danger, but he was unable to tell where the danger was. This was just his instinct. A cyan light flashed and one Evil Eyed Cow Demon appeared beside Ye Chuan. With the instinct of this yao beast, this Evil Eyed Cow Demon also sensed that indescribable danger and restlessly walked around Ye Chuan. After a while, under the command of Ye Chuan, this Evil Eyed Cow Demon took a step forward with great effort, one step, two steps¡­¡­, gradually walking towards the entrance. Was everything just his misconception? Ye Chuan inwardly sighed in relief. But, just when he was about to follow up, something unexpected suddenly happened. That Evil Eyed Cow Demon walking in the front suddenly fell to the ground. Then, the ground that was sandified long ago instantly engulfed its four limbs, then its stomach, leaving behind only its head above the ground. It wailed mournfully, but not long after, even its head was also sucked into the ground. It was thoroughly swallowed by yellow sands. Ye Chuan paused. His entire body was drenched with cold sweat. Restriction, this is the power of ancient restriction! Ye Chuan quickly understood what was going on. He knew that he had accidentally triggered the ancient restriction of this ancient city. This ancient city that was abandoned long ago was far more dangerous than he had imagined. At that time, the sand under his foot suddenly fluctuated. That feeling was just like standing on the water surface. Ye Chuan immediately jumped up and at the same time, the sand below his legs caved in, and a majestic invisible force from below tried to pull Ye Chuan down. The Heaven Swallowing Talismans within the body of Ye Chuan spun rapidly and he forcibly flew several meters away. He then leaned against the wall. Suddenly, his body felt light, that invisible force disappeared. And in the next moment, when Ye Chuan was just about to take a break, the wall behind him suddenly collapse and wanted to engulf him. This wall which originally appeared to be solid instantly became just like a marsh. There were yellow sands traps everywhere. Ye Chuan suddenly swayed and struggling free from the invisible binding, he lightly drifted ten meters away like a feather. And when his toe touched the ground, he drifted again. Cyan Feather Technique! Ye Chuan decisively circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and used Cyan Feather technique with all his might to rush out of this dangerous place. But, even after he arrived at the street, similar scenes appeared in succession. As long as he stopped at one place for more than three breaths of time, the sand below his legs would immediately cave in. Not to mention a living person, even a huge rock would be instantly swallowed by the yellow sands. The entire ancient city had suddenly changed into a human eating castle. The ground, walls and even the ceiling could instantly change into quicksand and swallow a person. In the midst of this boundless sand, Ye Chuan continuously swayed to dodge the traps of sand while fleeing from this terrifying ancient city. After running around this city for a while, he understood that the hope of finding Hei Kui, Zhu Sijia and others in this ancient city was very small. Even if they had come here, either they had already left or were already swallowed by the sands. It used a lot of energy to continuously use Cyan Feather Technique to move and dodge. In addition, with sandstorm wreaking havoc all around and a powerful energy fluctuation in the air, he felt as if an invisible rope was binding him. If he didn¡¯t leave this place, then he might be buried here forever! Now, with sandstorm blotting out the sky and the sun, Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t differentiate the direction and he couldn¡¯t find the right path, so he decided to run straight towards one direction. He thought that if he ran straight through this ancient city, then he would inevitably reach the boundary of this ancient and break out of this encirclement. Squeak! Along with a strange cry, a small shadow suddenly appeared in the front. When Ye Chuan was about to break out of the encirclement, this fellow came out again. Then, an ill wind suddenly blew throughout this ancient city. And Ye Chaun who was using Cyan Feather Technique to break out of this encirclement suddenly saw a terrifying scene. Countless skeletons crawled out from the sands and rushed towards him holding a sword. The Iron Blooded Banner in the hands of Ye Chuan fluttered and suddenly streak across the sky. Then, along with cracking sounds, a group of skeleton soldiers that crawled out from under his feet fell apart. Ye Chuan then flew in the sky and suddenly accelerated forward. This time, he finally saw what that mysterious shadow was. It turned out to be a little monkey. It was strangely fast and slippery. And seeing Ye Chuan was rushing towards it, it quickly retreated, then stepping on the yellow sands on the ground, it instantly disappeared. Ye Chuan reached the place where it had disappeared and saw that the ground formed from yellow sands had already solidified. What was that? Was it the legendary Sand Demon that could manipulate sands? Ye Chuan was puzzled, and he quickly recalled that Sand God mentioned in the diary of that child. But, he didn¡¯t have the time to think about it as the ground below his legs fluctuated. This solidified ground that was already hard as a rock changed into a loose quicksand again. It then suddenly caved in, and a majestic invisible force surged. And at the same time, a pair of hands sprang out from below the quicksand and grabbed the ankle of Ye Chuan, wanting to pull him down. This pair of hands was small and swarthy. They belonged to that sand demon that had just fled. Its bodily form was not big, but its strength was astonishing. Looking at just its strength, it was even more powerful than some Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts! The strange sand demon hadn¡¯t gone far. It was lurking below the quicksand and it suddenly launched a ferocious attack. Now, on the ground, countless skeletons with bone swords rushed towards Ye Chuan and heavily besieged him. Under the ground, there was a sand demon with extraordinary strength lurking and it was pulling him down. If he was truly dragged into the yellow sands, then even if he had nine lives, he wouldn¡¯t be able to avoid death. In addition, the sandstorm was getting even fiercer. It appeared as if it wanted to engulf the entire ancient city with sands. Ye Chuan who had entered this ancient city by himself fell into the most dangerous situation. If he paused for even a bit, then he would be buried here forever. And like the dry bones inside that ancient grave, he would turn into the ghost without any chance of reincarnation. The sand demon lurking underground was even more ferocious and craftier than many millennium evil spirits! Chapter 495: Unexpected discovery This unexpected discovery made Ye Chuan more cautious. He carefully advanced with 12 human-faced snakes around him. The mist was getting thicker and thicker. Now, the matter that concerned him the most wasn¡¯t Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng catching up, but was this unknown world. A ripple suddenly appeared in the dense mist ahead, and old devil Hei Kui quickly rushed over. He appeared panicked as if he encountered something terrifying. And perhaps, he was too nervous, or perhaps, he had run too fast, he was unable to speak for a moment. ¡°Hei Kui, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Ye Chuan stopped and spread out his divine sense, but he sensed nothing. It was still very quiet around as if the entire world was a huge grave. ¡°Your¡­¡­, Your Excellency, come over and take a look¡­¡­, you will know it.¡± After taking a few deep breaths, old devil Hei Kui finally recovered his breathing and said with deep fear. ¡°Walk, lead the way!¡± Seeing this old devil Hei Kui so scared, Ye Chuan also became nervous. But, he forcibly calmed down and instructed Hei Kui to lead the way forward. And not long after, they arrived at a small hillside. And like other places, this hillside was also filled with big and small graves. The old devil Hei Kui led Ye Chuan to the front of an ancient grave with fear and trepidation. The front of this ancient grave was paved with grey brick and only the half section of its tombstone remained. The words carved on it was already mottled and it was unclear how old this grave was. But, unlike general graves, this ancient grave was already crack opened, or to say, had already been dug by people. At one side of the tombstone, there was a dark path leading downward. He didn¡¯t know where it would lead. ¡°It is just a stolen ancient grave, Hei Kui, what is wrong with it?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat confused. At first glance, there was nothing unusualness with this ancient grave, but what made Hei Kui so scared? At that time, Hei Kui took out a lustrous pearl from who known where and illuminated the cracked open tomb passage, then said, ¡°Your Excellency, look there!¡± Ye Chuan stepped forward and upon a careful look, his hair involuntarily stood on end. It was very clean without any skeleton outside the grave, but inside the dark tomb passage, there were many bones scattered all over, but, what was even more frightening was, on the ground and walls of this tomb passage, there were deep finger marks. What did this mean? It meant that the remains inside this tomb had climbed out step by step before their death. A great amount of strength was used in every step as if something was pulling them from behind. But, the final result was, just when they were half a step away from the exit, not a single one was able to escape, all of them died. Upon closer look, he could also see many flying swords, battle armors and other treasures scattered in this tomb passage. Their grade was also pretty good, all were extraordinary treasures. This showed that these deceased weren¡¯t ordinary cultivators when they were alive. Among so many experts, not a single one was able to escape, what kind of terrifying things were there inside this grave? Also, what kind of things were they to attract these experts from different generations to break into this grave? The eyes of Ye Chuan shone. He had discovered that the remains in the tomb passage were not all from the same time period. Some remains were even older than ten thousand years, this was incomprehensible. A group of adventurers of the same period of time might have encountered something unexpected and died here, but all the adventurers of the different time period had also died here. This was not simple! ¡°Your Excellency, it is very dangerous here, we should leave quickly.¡± Hei Kui was very nervous. His body was trembling. Speaking about it, he was also an experienced great devil. As a former founder of Puppet Sect, he had slaughtered many and he had also stayed in the gloomy and terrifying Evil Dragon Abyss by himself for many years, so, according to reasons, nothing should frighten him, but seeing this strange ancient grave, he still couldn¡¯t help trembling with fear. As a devil who cultivated Puppet Technique, he was more sensitive to murky energy and restrictions, and now he was feeling a strong danger. If he could, then he truly wanted Ye Chuan to put him inside Cyan Lotus Space. He didn¡¯t want to stay in this strange space for a moment. An ancient racial holy land, average people think of it as a place like a paradise. The reality however was cruel. The true paradise-like racial holy lands were all guarded and hidden by their respective races. Outsiders would not know where they were located, and those that let outsider enter the racial holy land was even more dangerous than ominous domains! ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. Although he was doubtful and curious in his heart, he also didn¡¯t dare to rashly charge in. But, just when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar thing. He then took the luminescent pearl from the hands of Hui Kui and illuminated further inside the tomb passage. Then, looked further inside the tomb passage. And at the depth where the luminescent pear could barely illuminate, he saw a damaged Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow. This Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow was already damaged beyond recognition, only some parts were left, but Ye Chuan could still recognize it. How could he forget the thing he had personally refined? There was a Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow in the tomb passage, what did this explain? The complexion of Ye Chuan changed greatly and stopped his step. There were just a hundred or so Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, and only the elites of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples were equipped with it. These elite disciples were the future hope of Cloud Mist Sect and also were Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple¡¯s absolutely trusted subordinates. In addition, they were ordered to follow Zhu Sijia in this operation. The heart of Ye Chuan sank, and his face stretched taut. When he was just teleported to this world, he was worried that he was teleported to somewhere else but not teleported to Lost City due to some problems in ancient transmission formation. Moreover, he worried that he lost contact with Zhu Sijia and others. But now, seeing the damaged Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow in the tomb passage, he preferred that the ancient transmission formation was faulty. ¡°Your Excellency, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Hei Kui asked. He had already turned around and walked a few steps, but seeing Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t following, he had a very bad premonition in his heart. ¡°Hei Kui, since you leave Evil Dragon Abyss with me, how do you feel?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t reply, instead asked. ¡°Very good, I was finally able to leave that goddamned place without sunlight. The Cyan Lotus Space is also pretty good, I can quietly cultivate there. After ten years, I will be able to reconstruct a mortal body and set foot on peak Daoist Master realm again, and rebuild Puppet Sect!¡± Hei Kui subconsciously answered, and after speaking, he suddenly felt that the question of Ye Chuan was somewhat unusual. It was clearly not the time to talk about this. His heart suddenly sank, ¡°Your¡­¡­, Your Excellency, you¡­¡­ what do you want me to do?¡± ¡°Nothing much, just explore the way.¡± Ye Chuan smiled. This made this old devil Hei Kui sigh in relief. But the next words made him feel as if he sank into an ice cave. ¡°Go and see if there is any danger in this tomb passage. See that Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow in the tomb passage, bring it back to me.¡± ¡°Your Excellency, no, I won¡¯t go.¡± Hei Kui shook his head and refused firmly. So many experts of ancient times had died in this tomb passage, one could well imagine how dangerous it was. If he just entered like this, was there any difference to courting death? ¡°Fine, I will go then, you can stay here to reinforce, but, if Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, those two Half Sage realm experts catch up, they will definitely sense my aura on your body. And if you fall into their hands, then¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t force, but before he finished speaking, Hui Kui trembled more violently. ¡°Your Excellency, I will explore the way, you can reinforce from outside.¡± Hei Kui raised the sharp dagger and entered the tomb passage bracing himself. Chapter 499: Arrangemen t The Iron Blooded Banner suddenly fluttered violently and like the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves, it swept away the skeleton soldiers coming from all directions. These undead soldiers were large in number, but their combat power was very weak. They basically couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow of Iron Blooded Banner. But, the strength of sand demon was astonishing. It seized the chance and pulled Ye Chuan down with all its strength. In the blink of an eye, Ye Chaun was pulled down to his calves, then knees. Once he was completely dragged into the yellow sands, he might not have any chance to come out. And from under the yellow sands, the excited squeaks of sand demon came. The prey it had grabbed had never escaped and Ye Chuan was no exception! ¡°Humph, evil creature, die!¡± Ye Chuan coldly snorted, and when the sand demon was excited, his spirit locked onto its position and he suddenly stabbed down the Iron Blooded Banner. The Iron Blooded Banner ruthlessly stabbed into the ground as if a spear. A horrible shriek came from below the yellow sands and the red blood gushed out from the yellow sands like a spring. The Iron Blooded Banner in the hands of Ye Chuan suddenly vibrated and his perlicue tingled. That wounded sand demon under the ground was unwilling to give up and struggled with all its strength. It instantly erupted with such a powerful strength that Ye Chuan was somewhat unable to endure, in addition, the Iron Blooded Banner creaked as if it would break. ¡°Come out for me!¡± Ye Chuan roared and rapidly circulating ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he put forth all his strength to suddenly pull out the Iron Blooded Banner. And at the end of the flagpole, the sand demon was hung. This little monkey like yao beast spared no effort to struggle, but since it was suddenly pulled out along with Iron Blooded Banner and now was hanging in midair, its four limbs had nowhere to borrow strength, so all of its effort to struggle was useless. It then looked towards Ye Chuan with red eyes and gnashing its teeth, it screamed. Even more skeletons sprang out from underground and rushed towards Ye Chuan. It was already pulled up into the midair by Iron Blooded Banner, but this sand demon was unwilling to give up and ordered skeleton soldiers to kill Ye Chuan. ¡°It¡¯s the end, little fellow, time to die!¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at the ferocious and cunning sand demon. He then swung the Iron Blooded Banner and suddenly retracting it, he palmed the chest of this sand demon. Bang, the palm of Ye Chuan landed straight on the chest of this sand demon, but he only felt like he had palmed a solid rock. Not only the physical strength of this sand demon was astonishing, but its body was also especially doughty. Unfortunately, no matter how doughty its body was, it wouldn¡¯t be able to escape death. The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk and palmed again. This time, his movement was a bit slower, but the power contained was even more amazing. With all ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans circulating within his body, the strength of 180,000 jin instantly exploded on the body of this little monkey. The killing intent of Ye Chuan was soaring and he didn¡¯t show any mercy. If there was ordinary yao beast instead, then even if it was not powerful, as long as it had distinctive qualities, he would have tried to tame it and enlist in his Yao Beast Legion. This little monkey was able to manipulate quicksand. This kind of innate skill was extremely rare in yao beasts of Wilderness World. If he tamed it, then it would certainly turn into a great asset of Yao Beast Legion, and someday, it might even become a powerful follower like Super Electric Eel and Old Demon of Mount Yin. But, for some unknown reasons, this little monkey gave him a very uncomfortable feeling, so he didn¡¯t even think about taming it and made a fatal move. This cunning and ferocious little monkey wailed mournfully and looked at its cracked body in disbelief. It then looked at Ye Chuan with resentment and its head crooked to one side. It finally died. But, before dying, it spared no effort to grab Ye Chuan, wanting to perish together with Ye Chuan. Unfortunately, it was hung in the air by Iron Blooded Banner and it was unable to reach Ye Chuan. It was only able to tear a corner of Ye Chuan¡¯s robe. Ding, a conch with black light floating around it fell from the body of this little monkey. Then, the skeleton warriors that were swarming from all direction suddenly swayed and disappeared, turning into the dust. Even the sandstorm that was wreaking havoc all around, majestic ancient city and the vast desert outside the city walls rippled and distorted, becoming blurred. Sharp-eyed Ye Chuan immediately grabbed that conch on the ground. He then felt as if the sky and earth were spinning and the scenery before his eyes changed back to the tall mountain shrouded with grey mist. He had appeared outside that strange ancient grave. He then carefully looked inside the tomb passage. Everything was as before. There were many skeletons scattered on the ground and there were many scratches and handprints on the walls and ground. In addition, he also saw broken Dragon Headed Flying Swords a bit far away. Compared to before, there was an addition of a piece of cloth beside the scattered Dragon Headed Flying Sword. Ye Chuan immediately recognized that piece of cloth. It was the piece of cloth torn off from his robe by that little monkey just before it died. Ye Chuan suddenly felt chill and his limbs became ice cold. Ye Chuan suddenly understood a lot of mysteries. In the ancient grave in front of him, there was a powerful ancient restriction and that cunning and ferocious little monkey was the key to this ancient restriction. It would appear and triggers the ancient restriction. Only by killing it, one could barely escape this ancient restriction. The skeletons inside this tomb passage were very likely to be the people who were dragged into the sands by that little monkey, and they died after struggling in the sands. As for those broken Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow and the piece of his cloth, they were very likely to be intentionally placed at the end of the tomb passage by the restriction. They were baits, deliberately luring people to break into this grave! But, breaking in without sufficient strength was courting death! The hair of Ye Chuan was standing on end, the ancient restriction of this ancient grave was far more powerful than he had imagined. This was a well-planned trap. And once one fell into this trap, one might be buried inside forever. The great mist was dense and the surrounding was very quiet, this same was true for the tomb passage too. If it was not for the case of him still holding the conch with black light floating around it, then Ye Chuan might have doubted that he was just dreaming. In his previous like when he concealed the heaven, he had explored many ancient ominous domains and encountered all sorts of ancient restrictions. Although the restriction inside this ancient grave in front of him was not the most powerful restriction in terms of power, it was planned to the extreme, making people extremely dreadful. One grave, one world. Could it be that all the graves of this mountain had a world with different treasures sealed inside? Was the so-called Lost City an ancient city inside one of the graves? Or to say, the ancestors of Sea Demon Clan already knew that their clan would decline, so they intentionally used a great technique to hide their racial holy land inside the world of countless graves, increasing the difficulty for foreign intruders in finding their racial origin energy and racial scared item? Looking at big and small graves around him, the heart of Ye Chuan suddenly moved. Although Sea Demon Clan had declined now, like Cloud Mist Sect, it also once had a glorious history. There was no lack of heaven-defying experts that dominated the entire sea, and it was not impossible to foresee the decline of Sea Demon Clan and make an arrangement in advance. Like this, the origin energy and racial holy item would be passed down, otherwise, LOost City might have already been completely breached by outsiders. Chapter 496: One grave, one world Hei Kui gingerly advanced in the tomb passage step by step. As for Ye Chuan, he was prepared to rush over if something unexpected happened. Making Hei Kui explore the path wasn¡¯t treating him as cannon fodder, rather he had no other choice. This tomb passage was dangerous and unfathomable, if he personally charged in and was unable to come out due to something unexpected, then Hei Kui outside wouldn¡¯t be able to save him. On the contrary, if Hei Kui met something unexpected, then his chance of saving him would be greater. Clearly, the old devil Hei Kui also understand this, otherwise, he would not have dared to enter. Thinking about it, when they meet at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, the cultivation of Ye Chuan was inferior to this old demon Hei Kui¡¯s. Ye Chuan nearly refined into a battle puppet by him. But now, the cultivation of old demon Hei Kui was still Rank 3 Daoist Master realm. He hadn¡¯t advanced much. As for Ye Chuan, he had broken through to Rank 6 Daoist Master realm, far superior to him. ¡°Your Excellency, I am entering!¡± Hei Kui stopped in front of the tomb passage and turning around his head, he looked at Ye Chuan. He then gathered his courage and step in. The air rippled as if a piece of stone was thrown into a calm lake, then Hei Kui disappeared without a trace. This is not a tomb passage but an illusory formation? The heart of Ye Chuan shook, and he felt a heavy pressure. That ancient and worn out passage, bones scattered all over the ground, and even the bloody hand marks on the walls appeared so clear, but who would have thought that this was actually an Illusory Formation? In his previous life, he didn¡¯t specialize in formations and restrictions, but in the present world, even if his attainment in them couldn¡¯t be considered very best, it was at least one of the best. But, he unexpectedly was unable to sense anything unusual about this illusory restriction in front of him. There was not even a bit of restriction fluctuation. The ancient restriction of racial holy land was truly amazing! Ye Chuan sweated while frowning. The more he was unable to see through this restriction, the more danger he felt. Zhu Sijia and others were trapped inside here and he didn¡¯t know their condition. And now, even old devil Hei Kui had also entered the trap, what should he do? At that time, Ye Chuan looked at the damaged Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow in the tomb passage with a heavy heart and doubt suddenly appeared in his heart. If it was indeed illusory formation in front of him, then what was going on with that Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow inside the tomb passage? Was he mistaken or¡­¡­ Even after the careful observation and calculation, this ancient tomb passage was still confusing. After a long silence, Ye Chuan put away Six-Winged Golden Cicada and human-faced snakes, then holding Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, he walked towards the tomb passage. It was dangerous and unfathomable in front of him, but in any case, he also couldn¡¯t look on with folded arms. After taking a step in the tomb passage, Ye Chuan felt an indescribable energy fluctuation passing through his body like a burst of cold wind brushing past him. In the blink of an eye, his limbs became ice-cold and his consciousness seemed to have become blank. And in the next moment when he came back to his senses, he was already in another world. He looked behind him and saw boundless thick mist, and in the front, there was a vast desert. When the wind blew, dust and sand would fly all over the sky, piling up a new sand dune. That towering mountain had disappeared and those ancient graves all around had also disappeared. One grave, one world! Outside and inside the tomb passage were two completely different worlds. Ye Chuan squatted down and held the sand. The sand was burning hot. After examining his surrounding carefully, he was certain that this was not an illusion, rather a real world. Inside the illusory formation, a real world was actually sealed? Ye Chuan was greatly shocked. It was absolutely impossible for average people to do this. Even if a large number of ancient Sage realm experts might not be able to do this. Ye Chuan looked into the distance and could only see the vast desert. He then suddenly roared, then flew forward. Before, he had always been cautious of falling into trap, but now, after experiencing such a massive structure inside the ancient tomb, his fighting spirit was ignited. He wanted to see more powerful means. This roar was to encourage himself and also was calling Hei Kui, Zhu Sijia and others. He didn¡¯t care about exposing his whereabouts. In the vast desert, Ye Chuan flew like a bird. He appeared more than 10 meters in one second and appeared more than one hundred meters in another second. He was drifting like a weightless leaf and although his movement looked leisurely, his speed was astonishingly fast, even faster than a flying sword. After he made up his mind, he no longer deliberately hid his whereabouts. Ye Chuan spread out his energy fluctuation without any restraint as he used Cyan Feather Technique to fly through the desert. Since he couldn¡¯t find Zhu Sijia, Hei Kui and others, the next best way was to make them find him. Ye Chuan rapidly flew forward. His energy fluctuation could be felt from several hundred li away. But, even after flying for three days and three night straight, he still gained nothing. Not to mention he didn¡¯t find any trace of Hei Kui, Zhu Sijia and others, he also had yet to pass this desert. This desert seemed boundless. But, Ye Chuan was not discouraged, he continued to fly forward, laying out a formation every 70 li. First, it was to avoid losing direction, and secondly, it was to leave a mark so that Hei Kui and others know where he was. On the seventh day, when Ye Chuan felt tired and prepared to rest, he finally saw a large shadow in the front. From this distance, that shadow resembled a fierce tiger sitting on the desert, but after getting closer, it turned out to be a city. Just the city wall alone was over 100 meters tall and it covered the area within the diameter of roughly 20 li. It was huge and majestic, unfortunately, after so many years, the rocks that were used to build that wall was already half withered. Many places were already buried under the yellow sand. Now, one could only see its vague majestic outline. The time was actually the most powerful restriction in this world. It can wipe out everything. The glory, sadness and grief of once period could all be wiped out by time. Ye Chuan arrived in front of this ancient city and sighed with emotion. He then carefully observed it for a while, then putting away Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, he took out Iron Blooded Banner and walked forward. He could tell why, this was just an instinct, but this ancient city that was nearly submerged by yellow sands gave him a bad feeling. He vaguely felt as if a pair of eyes was staring at him from somewhere. In this ancient city, there were many building and streets that extended in all directions. Although many years had passed, one could still see how flourishing this city was. Could it be that this was the real Lost City? Ye Chuan had a thought, and carefully sized up the buildings around. And after walking for a few steps, he arrived in front of a store and entered it. A superb collection of swords and armors were hung on the walls, and on the counter, there was still a ledger. One could tell that this was a Weapon Shop, but there was no sign of life here. Chapter 500: The sound of Conch After looking at that ghastly tomb passage, Ye Chuan thanked his good luck and slowly calmed down. The broken Dragon Headed Flying Crossbow showed that Zhu Sijia and her party had indeed entered this grave. Perhaps, they were accidentally trapped in or they might have intentionally entered it. Even the accompanying Sea Demon Patriarch might not know where exactly was the Lost City located, thus they were exploring and searching all graves. Since even he alone could break out of the trap, Zhu Sijia¡¯s party was large in number, moreover, there was cunning Sea Demon Patriarch leading the way. Although they might be in danger, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to trap them. After thinking carefully, Ye Chuan¡¯s heart eased a bit. Originally, after he was suddenly teleported into this tall mountain with ancient graves everywhere, he was worried, worried about the safety of Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Little Long¡¯er and others. Now that he understood the circumstances inside the ancient grave, he finally had a bit of peace of mind. It was very likely that Zhu Sijia, Sea Demon Patriarch and others were looking for the specific location of Lost City in the front shrouded with dense mist. Or they might have even met with Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Plague Archfiend Abasi and waiting for him to catch up. But, Ye Chuan discarded the thoughts of advancing. He calmly sat cross-legged on the spot and summoned twelve human faced snakes and Six-Winged Golden Cicada to guard him. He then carefully examined the conch he found inside this ancient grave. This conch that fell from the body of that sand demon was black in color and a black light was floating around it. Even at first glance, it looked very old. And holding it in his palm, he could feel majestic energy fluctuation, clearly was a rare ancient treasure. Ye Chuan carefully sized it up for a while and began to refine it. In such a dangerous place, if he was able to strengthen his cultivation, then it would be the best as that might save his life at the critical moment. Although Ye Chuan was worried about Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Little Long¡¯er and others, and he wanted to join them as soon as possible, he didn¡¯t forget the true purpose of this trip. This time, he came to the sea with Sea Demon Patriarch because he wanted to find the opportunity to improve his cultivation in the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan. And after accidentally falling into the ancient city inside the grave, he obtained this conch that fell from that sand demon, this was also a kind of fortune. After refining this conch, not only he had an additional protective treasure, his might also make a breakthrough in his cultivation. In the later stage of cultivation realms, the progress would be slower and slower. Even the seclusion cultivation for a thousand years might be inferior to encountering a fortune during the journey to temper oneself. At this moment, what Ye Chuan was missing was a lucky chance. The experience and knowledge of his previous life was his greatest asset. As long as he had a lucky encounter, he could have a huge breakthrough in his cultivation without any problem. A layer of blood-red light gradually appeared in the midst of the black light floating around the conch, then it became boiling hot. Ye Chuan used the technique and seizing this chance, he dripped a few drops of essence blood, then spat out a mouthful of life yuan qi. After that, the conch trembled violently, signaling the successful refining of this treasure. Now, compared to before, there was a hint of red color in this black conch with many lines on the surface. Every Weapon Refining Master would leave a unique mark on the treasures they refined, Ye Chuan was no exception. After grasping Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, this ancient cultivation technique he accidentally found in God Burial Valley, in the treasures he refined, he would leave behind blood-red lines as his unique mark. These lines were unique, and with his deeper understanding of this cultivation technique, his cultivation would rise and the lines would be more profound. Like that, it would be even harder for other people to erase his mark. In order words, even if he lost this conch and it landed in the hands of other people, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to refine it. Immediately after successfully refining this conch, majestic pure energy coming out of this conch entered the body of Ye Chuan from his fingertips. Then, the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan suddenly rose and another qi cyclone appeared in his dantian. This was the sign of new Heaven Swallowing Talisman condensing. This majestic pure energy continuously poured into Ye Chuan¡¯s body, and slowly, Ye Chuan trembled. Now, every inch of his muscles contained violent power. His skin, qi and blood rippled and his bones creaked as a demonic dragon phantom appeared behind Ye Chuan as if he was about to transform into a dragon and ascend to heaven. The sign of breaking through was getting clearer and clearer, unfortunately, after half an incense time, the energy coming from the conch gradually depleted and the trembling body of Ye Chuan also slowly simmered down. He was unable to make a breakthrough. His cultivation realm was unchanged, still was rank 6 Daoist Master realm, and there was only ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his dantian with the addition of one new qi cyclone. But, he was unable to successfully condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. Unfortunately, this was still not enough! The eyes of Ye Chuan blazed like torches. After examining the changes within his body, he felt it was a pity. He then rested for a while, and placing the conch in front of his mouth, he gently blew it, and the sound of conch traveled forward, spreading further away, piercing through this dense mist. The world suddenly seemed to become still. When the sound of this conch resounded, the twelve human faced snakes and Six-Winged Golden Cicada clustered around Ye Chuan became motionless and drowsy. Even their breathing seemed to have stopped as if the time had stopped. What a powerful sound attack! Ye Chuan was pleasantly surprised and he suddenly recalled the unique skill of Hai Lili, the song of Sea Demon. The sound of this conch had a similar effect! The treasures sealed in the racial holy land were truly extraordinary! Ye Chuan was excited. He carefully examined the conch in his hand and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. A light rustling sound came from the distant place. Since this mountain was shrouded with dense grey mist, he was unable to see and also unable to sense the danger. Fortunately, Ye Chuan had a pair of sharp ears. Was it skeleton soldiers crawled out from underground, or a yao beast that came out to look for a prey, or¡­¡­ Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to be careless, and quickly thought about ferocious Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. These two people were the most powerful people after his reincarnation. His current cultivation was far inferior to Plague Archfiend Abasi, Ghost King Dusen, Blacksnake Demon God and other similar level Half Sage realm experts, and their scheming and strategies were even more powerful. Once they quietly arrived beside him without anybody knowing, then he would certainly die! The twelve human faced snakes were nervous. As for the Six-Winged Golden Cicada resting on the shoulder of Ye Chuan, it quietly flew away under the instruction of Ye Chuan. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Plague Archfiend Abasi were his strongest followers. But, since they were absent at this moment, Ye Chuan switched to fully utilizing all other yao beasts, and when necessary, he even prepared to summon Super Electric Eel. Although its strength would be greatly reduced on land, it was still ferocious. At the same time, the sound of conch resounded again. The Six-Winged Golden Cicada quietly scouted under the cover of the grey mist, but Ye Chuan continued to sit cross-legged on the same spot while calmly initiating the sound attack. As the former Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he was not unfamiliar with sound attacks. He quickly grasped the technique of this conch. This time, he attempted to add manipulation with the sound of conch, aiming at the direction from where the rustling sounds had come. The rustling sounds quickly stopped. Although the human faced snakes around Ye Chuan were not greatly affected, the thing in the midst of dense mist was clearly affected by this surprise attack. Next, a painful groan resounded as Six-Winged Golden Cicada had initiated a ferocious attack. ¡°Stop, stop, Your¡­¡­, Your Excellency, it¡¯s me, it¡¯s me, stop the sound¡­¡­¡± A familiar voice resounded and old demon Hei Kui who had possessed the puppet doll crawled and rolled over while screaming. There were several cuts on his body and because he had rolled and crawled on the ground, his body was full of mud. He looked very battered and exhausted. In addition, looking at the conch in the hands of Ye Chuan, his eyes were full of fear. Originally, he wanted to surprise Ye Chuan, but the result was this tragedy. When he heard the sound of conch, he felt dizzy and he was unable to tell which direction was where, thus he was unable to block the attacks of Six-Winged Golden Cicada. If it was not for his rich experience and subconsciously guarding his vital parts, perhaps, he might have lost his head under the attack of Six-Winged Golden Cicada, becoming a headless puppet doll! ¡°Hei Kui, it turned out to be you, you have come at just the right time, how is this conch? Do you want to listen to another tune?¡± Seeing Hei Kui, Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised, soon after that, with an evil smile, he said, ¡°A very long time ago, when I went to experience the secular world, I once disguised as a scholar and sneaked into a theatrical troupe and especially dedicated myself to sing opera. I cannot say that I was very outstanding, but I still know various kinds of tune.¡± ¡°No, please don¡¯t bother, Your Excellency, where did this treasure come from?¡± Hei Kui shivered and hastily shook his head. Just a moment ago, he personally experienced how powerful this conch was, if he listened to other tunes too, then would he still be alive? Hei Kui was already respectful and also feared Ye Chuan, this master of his. Now, he was even more afraid and stood obediently at one side without any air. Chapter 497: Yellow Sands Ancient City Ye Chuan walked over to a wall and took a long sword. The scabbard was filled with dust, and after he blew away the dust, its true features were revealed. Many lines were carved on the scabbard like some kind of decoration, but it also resembled a kind of formation. Clang, Ye Chuan pulled out the sword inside the scabbard and suddenly, a pallid light spread all over the shop. Even after so many years, although the scabbard was filled with dust, the sword inside was still sharp. Ye Chuan pulled out a hair and blew it towards the blade. This hair was cut into two half. He then flicked on the sword blade and this sword blade trembled issuing a buzzing sound. Its hardness and toughness were pretty good. Although it was a common product with common material, it was an excellent product. It could sell for many silvers in the secular world. But, why did the owner of this shop left, leaving behind these good weapons? What exactly happened in this Yellow Sands Ancient City? Where did Zhu Sijia, Hei Kui and others go? Were they in the other end of this Yellow Sands Ancient City? Ye Chuan was confused. He turned around and left this store, then enter another store not far away. This was a medicine shop. Immediately upon entering, he saw a medicine cabinet with name of the medicinal materials stuck on it.At one glance, he saw Heavenly Sesame, Thunder Root, Dragon Withered Grass and other valuable medicinal herbs¡¯ name stuck on the cabinet. But, when he opened the cabinet, he saw that all herbs were already rotten. Unlike weapons, even the best-preserved medicinal herbs were unable to endure the erosion of time. ¡°It¡¯s a pity!¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit had yet to recover completely, so he thought that he might be able to find some valuable herbs to treat his injuries, unfortunately, he celebrated too early. He shook his head and just when was about to leave, he suddenly stopped. In the stove beside the counter, there was a kettle. And on one side, there was a tea table with two cups on it. On the kettle, there was Tieguanyin tea. It seemed that the shopkeeper was making a tea for his guest, then, he didn¡¯t know what suddenly happened, but they ran away leaving everything. At one corner beside the tea table, there was a small desk and a small stool. On this table, there was a booklet and writing brush was thrown at one side with a pair of small shoes under the table. An image suddenly appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. A very long time ago, this Yellow Sands Ancient City was full of vitality along with busy flow of people. The shopkeeper of this shop was drinking tea with his guests while discussing a business transaction. The hostess was busy in the kitchen while a child was sitting on this small stool while seriously writing something. Although this child was very young in age, he seemed intelligent. Suddenly, a catastrophe befell and everyone ran away and this city turned into a ghost city. The gaze of Ye Chuan was deep, seemingly, his gaze pierced through the time and space and saw what had happened here. After he stood silently for a while, he walked over and picked up that booklet on the table. This was a diary. It once was a treasure of a certain child. Unfortunately, after a long period of time, it was already eroded beyond recognition. Even the words written on it couldn¡¯t be seen, and it would break into pieces when flipping it. Ye Chuan carefully tried to find any clues on this diary. This diary was also very simple. The child wrote a few lines every day. The words on the first page were already blurred; On the second page, it roughly stated a matter, saying he never wanted to go to school again. It seems this was a naughty and also somewhat playful child. Ye Chuan smiled, although he was already sufficiently careful, but every time he turned it, pages would break into pieces. On the third page, that child made a wish, he hoped to have his own flying sword someday. From this point, he could see that the parents of this child might be cultivators, or even the entire population of this Yellow Sands Ancient City might be cultivators or disciples of some sects. Ye Chuan continued to turn the pages. Only trivial matters were recorded in this diary. In normal times, these matters were irrelevant. No one would pay attention to the world of a child. But this time, even these trivial matters written by a child made Ye Chuan be able to figure out what kind of world this very ancient city was. Soon, the pages of the diary were almost over, but in the final few pages of this diary, Ye Chuan saw strange words. On the third last page, the child wrote, today, father and mother are quarreling, the uncle and aunt next door are also quarreling, the parents of Little Ling are also quarreling, what happened to them? On the second last page, the child wrote, today, adults didn¡¯t quarrel, they are all calm but don¡¯t talk. Everyone seemed to have lost their soul like the book says. Tomorrow is the day to worship Sand God, but this year, there is still no movement. On the final page, there were several twisted words, Sand God is angry, quickly¡­¡­ It was empty behind the word ¡®quickly¡¯. Perhaps, the child suddenly encountered a mishap and didn¡¯t have time to write quickly run. Quickly run, or something else. Ye Chuan was confused, and after turning over the final page, the entire diary crumbled into pieces. At that time, a gust of wind blew over and Ye Chuan felt chill. Looking up, he saw sandstorm outside and the sky was covered with dust and sand. And then, looking all around, Ye Chuan walked out of this medicinal shop and walked alone on this empty street. Now, there were still many doubts in the heart of Ye Chuan, but he could vaguely feel that the current appearance of Yellow Sands Ancient City was very likely related to one person, that Sand God mentioned in the diary of the child. Perhaps, that was a heaven-defying expert that dominated this desert, or, was a cold-blooded peerless evil spirit, because some matter had enraged him and destroyed this city. At this moment, the wind was getting bigger and bigger, the dust and sand covered the entire sky, making this ancient city pitch-black. But, Ye Chuan continued to advance forward, looking for any doubtful points to see whether there were any signs left behind by Zhu Sijia, Hui Kui and others. The result, even after walking for an hour, when he reached the west side from the east side, he gained nothing. Inside this huge and magnificent city, it seemed that he was the only living person. And the entire world was very quiet with only the sounds of sandstorm wreaking havoc. At that time, a thin and small shadow suddenly appeared and quietly approached Ye Chuan under the cover of this sandstorm. But, Ye Chuan who was walking alone along the empty street suddenly turned around and saw that that shadow was retreating. In an instant, that shadow retreated more than 100 meters. It seemed that that shadow didn¡¯t expect Ye Chuan sense him so quickly and in this unexpected situation, the shadow wanted to run away. ¡°Stop for me!¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan shone as he chased after this shadow in the midst of sandstorm. He circulated all Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and his speed became faster and faster. Although he was unable to clearly see what that shadow was, whether the other party was a ghost or a demon, it was the only living being he encountered after stepping into this ancient city. It might very probably be the only key to solve all the mysteries of this ancient city. Chapter 501: Buddhist prayer beads ¡°This¡­¡­, it is something I found in the world of this grave. I don¡¯t know what it is called, so I call it Ancient Grave Conch.¡± Ye Chuan replied, and after looking at Hei Kui who was dirty all over, he asked, ¡°What about you? Hei Kui, when did you come out? Moreover, where is your cute and white appearance? How did you become like this?¡± Seeing the pitiful appearance of Hei Kui, Ye Chuan smiled and shook his head. He then used a technique. A starlight descended from heaven and the injuries of Hei Kui suddenly recovered a lot. But, his body was still black and dirty, there was no pure and cute look of the past. Even if he jumped into the sea, those black spots on his body might not be wash away. Ye Chuan wondered where he had gone. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, it¡¯s too disgusting to even speak.¡± The old devil Hei Kui gnashed his teeth and hatefully added, ¡°After I entered the grave, before I know what was going on, I was teleported to an ancient city covered with a sandstorm, and before I realized it, I was swallowed by a sand python. Your Excellency, do you know, what was inside the stomach of that sand python? Bones, rotten yao beasts¡¯ remains, moreover, some kind of sticky liquid that stinks so much that it nearly suffocated me to death!¡± Thinking of what he experienced inside this ancient grave, the old devil Hei Kui looked surprised and angry, moreover, he even spat a few times in disgust. ¡°Oh, a sand python? Then what?¡± Ye Chuan asked while thinking, he had encountered a monkey-like sand demon, but Hei Kui had encountered a sand python. It seemed that different kind of yao beasts was hiding inside that ancient city, or, the ancestor of Sea Demon Clan intentionally left different yao beasts inside. ¡°Then, I thought of a way to kill that sand python and cut out of its stomach. After that, I felt as if the sky and earth were spinning and was teleported out.¡± Hei Kui replied, then touching a prayer beads hanging on his neck, he said: ¡°Fortunately, there was a harvest. The instant I kill that sand python, this prayer beads fell within its body. When I hung it on my neck, I can feel that continuous cool energy would enter my body, and it can suppress the heart demon. It might be the treasure left behind by ancient Buddhist Sect.¡± The old devil Hei Kui said while touching the prayer beads hanging on his neck. It looked like he was so fond of it that he couldn¡¯t let go of it. The risk was always accompanied by fortune, once one survived the danger, one might obtain a fortune that one couldn¡¯t seek. At this moment, Hei Kui was cursing and entire body was filthy, but just looking at his current appearance of touching the prayer beads, one could see his excitement and happiness. In addition, he would frequently look at the graves around as if he was a hungry grave robber. It seemed that he was very impatient to break in. ¡°One grave, one world, although treasures and fortunes might be sealed inside the grave world, it is also very dangerous, be careful.¡± Ye Chuan saw through the thoughts of Heu Kui and warned, neither encouraging nor preventing. This time, both of them were luckily able to walk out of this ancient grave, obtaining different treasures, but next time, they might not be so lucky. No one knew what the next grave world was like, or what kind of restrictions and yao beasts were inside. Perhaps, they might accidentally reach the real Lost City and obtain the sacred item of Lost City, or, they might be buried inside the grave world. ¡°Your Excellency, your Ancient Grave Conch, was it also obtained in this grave world?¡± Hei Kui asked. ¡°Yes, after I killed a small monkey that could manipulate quicksand.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and after muttering to himself for a while, he added, ¡°Hei Kui, did you get any news about Jiajia and others?¡± ¡°No.¡± Hei Kui shook his head. ¡°How about this, we take action separately, and regardless of whether we found Zhu Sijia and others or not, we will meet at the summit. Remember, be careful, and if there is any danger, then crush this talisman, I will rush over as soon as possible.¡± Ye Chuan took out a talisman from his bosom and gave it to Hei Kui. The cultivation of this old fellow couldn¡¯t be considered high, but he was very experienced, he could take charge. He wanted to take action separately because they would have a greater chance to find Zhu Sijia and others like that. This tall mountain was shrouded with grey mist and it was dangerous and unfathomable in the front. As for the back, Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng might catch up at any time. Ye Chuan was worried about Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Little Long¡¯er and others. He wanted to meet them as soon as possible. ¡°Okay, Your Excellency, you also be careful.¡± Hei Kui bowed and after taking the talisman, he flew away and disappeared into the dense mist in an instant. After experiencing the benefit of the ancient grave, he was already impatient and was itching to have a go again. As a great devil who once was able to move unhindered everywhere, he had a glorious past. But now, he could only possess a small puppet doll and was rotting at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss not too long ago. Although he was already used to it long ago, he always had a knot in his heart, he wanted to reconstruct his body and return his peak days. But, this required opportunities and he also needed to breakthrough his own bottlenecks. Just cultivating in seclusion for years wouldn¡¯t be of any help. But now, the dangerous and unfathomable grave worlds made him see opportunity and he couldn¡¯t wait for even a moment. After old devil Hei Kui left, Ye Chuan also set off towards the summit of this mountain. But, unlike Hei Kui, ye Chuan didn¡¯t rush forward, rather walked forward step by step with human faced snakes and Six-Winged Golden Cicada around him. Ye Chuan also wanted the treasures sealed inside the grave worlds, the more the better. He also yearned for powerful strength and even more wanted to condense more Heaven Swallowing Talismans, but there was a prerequisite, i.e. safety. Without fair certainty, he would never easily break into another grave world. If this racial Holy Land of Sea Demon Clan was simple without powerful means like it appeared on the surface, then all these ancient graves would have already been emptied out. Ye Chuan had a premonition, the more he walked towards the summit, all the more dangerous the world inside the ancient tombs were. Even a Half Sage realm expert might not be able to escape unscathed if fell into a trap! The rustling sounds of footsteps spread out in the midst of this grey mist. Ye Chuan was very cautious, he withdrew his aura and energy fluctuation as he walked forward. All along the road, only the moving sounds of human-faced snakes accompanied him. These twelve human-faced snakes tightly guarded around Ye Chuan. After they were tamed, they only listened to the order of Ye Chuan. As for Six-Winged Golden Cicada, it was staying still on his shoulder as if it was sensing the movement around them with fixed attention, but it also resembled as if it was cultivating. On its back, two pairs of small bulges had appeared at an unknown time, vaguely showing the sign of breakthrough. Once it break through again, it would transform into Ten-Winged Golden Cicada. At that time, it would be more powerful and its speed would also be faster. After walking less than one kilometers towards the summit of this mountain shrouded with mist, Ye Chuan suddenly sensed something and stopped. He stood still and listened attentively for a while. He could vaguely hear chaotic footsteps and voices in the distance, in addition, he could also hear vague sounds of metal colliding as if there was an intense quarrel and fight. Could it be that the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors¡­¡­ The heart of Ye Chuan was restless. He then put away human-faced snakes and Six-Winged Golden Cicada, then used Cyan Feather Technique and stealthily rush forward. Chapter 502: Outlying Islands Sanren In front of an ancient grave, a fierce battle was taking place. A red robe old man holding a dragon-headed Cane was moving around a few men and women. Even though it was a one against five battle, not only he wasn¡¯t in the disadvantageous position, instead was leisurely. He was fighting while laughing heartily. Under the cover of the mist, Ye Chuan quietly approached and watched critically, hiding at one side. The red robe old man was robust and his energy fluctuation was surging. He unexpectedly was a peak Daoist Master realm expert. As for those five men and women, their cultivation also couldn¡¯t be considered low, even the weakest was Rank 5 Daoist Master realm, but even though these five were cooperating, this red robed old man was firmly suppressing them. Looking at the standard battle robes of those five, they seemed to be the disciples of some sects. ¡°Hahaha, you five, be obedient and surrender without putting up a fight. This old grandfather will also not make things difficult for you all. Men just need to cripple their cultivation and as for women, they just need to accompany me for one night, hahaha¡­¡­¡± The red robed old man roared with laughter as he often looked lecherously at those two female disciples. He spoke rudely and had no misgivings, clearly was a great devil. It was unknown what the dragon headed cane in his hand was made of, but it was at least over ten thousand jin in weight. At that time, he brandished it and one woman didn¡¯t have time to dodge and the sword in her hand was sent flying. The laughter of this old man got even louder. The more he fought, the more daring he became. The five opponents were completely suppressed, they couldn¡¯t even run away even if they wanted. Ye Chuan stayed hidden in the mist without moving. He was calm without the slightest emotional fluctuation. The situation of those five disciples was getting worse and worse. If this goes on, then they will become the captives of this red robed old man, then the end fate of those two female disciples will be unbearable. Ye Chuan looked down upon this kind of devils, but since this mountain was dangerous and the terrain was complicated, moreover, he didn¡¯t understand the circumstance, he would not easily make a move. If he always sought justice upon seeing injustice along the road, then he would have already died countless times. ¡°Outlying Islands Sanren, I was the one who taught a lesson to your servant, it has nothing to do with my junior apprentice brothers and sisters. I will accompany you to a life and death battle, let my junior apprentice brothers and sisters go.¡± A young man rushed out and stood in front of that female disciple who had lost her sword, then thrust his sword straight towards the chest of this red robed old man. This sword thrust was powerful, it emitted a rainbow-like radiance and was accompanied by vague thunder. Eh, Thunderbolt Sword? Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised, but after carefully looking at this sword, he shook his head. Millions of years ago, Thunderbolt Sword Technique was a technique with an illustrious reputation in Wilderness World. Thunderbolt Sage walked unhindered in Wilderness World, relying on this technique. He also stood out among numerous Sage realm experts because of this technique. In his previous life, before he became Heaven Concealing Great Sage that ruled Wilderness World, Ye Chuan had fought with Thunderbolt Sage, so he was no stranger to Thunderbolt Sword Technique. He knew very well that this technique was very powerful, unfortunately, although the sword technique of this young man in front of him appeared majestic, he in fact was far from being able to master the essence of Thunderbolt Sword Technique. This kind of attack might work on same realm inexperienced expert, but it wouldn¡¯t work against any experienced experts. Ding, sure enough, just after Ye Chuan shook his head, the young man was stunned still, the rainbow-like sword in his hand was sent flying by the dragon headed cane of this red robed old man. The limbs of these five young men and women instantly became ice-cold and they became deathly pale. Even the Big Senior Apprentice Brother who had the highest cultivation base among them had lost and his sword was sent flying, how could they fight now? ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± In front of an ancient grave, only the laughter of this red robed old man echoed. ¡°Hahahaha, you truly don¡¯t know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth, with just that level of cultivation base, you still want to fight against this old grandfather, boy, are you qualified? Even your Sect Master is not qualified. We can talk about it if the legendary Elder Thunderbolt of your Thunderbolt Sect came in person, hahahaha!¡± The red robed old man roared with laughter. He then walked forward holding dragon headed cane. His eyes were lecherously sizing up those two female disciples without even trying to hide his intention. The two female disciples were terrified. Other than the leader Big Senior Apprentice Disciple, the other two male disciples were very thin and short. They looked young and immature. Their cultivation base was even inferior to those two female disciples. And suddenly encountering this kind of situation, they didn¡¯t know what to do and were panic-stricken. All pressure was on this leader young man, unfortunately, although he had the heart to protect everyone, he didn¡¯t have power. Looking at this red robed old man approaching, he also trembled like others. ¡°Outlying Islands Sanren, you¡­¡­, what do you want to do?¡± A female disciple mustered her courage and said, ¡°Don¡¯t forget that my father is the current Sect Leader of Thunderbolt Sect, you¡­¡­, if you are too unbridled, don¡¯t you fear that my father will lead the entire Thunderbolt Sect to annihilate you?¡± ¡°Fear? Since this old grandfather dared to make a move, will I fear? Hahahaha¡­¡­¡± The red robed old man roared with laughter and continued to advance, then with a cold expression, he ferociously said, ¡°In these last few years, this old grandfather is already fed up with the damned airs of your Thunderbolt Sect. It is just a downtrodden low-grade sect, hiding in Overseas World fearing your enemies would annihilate you all, but you all actually don¡¯t know how to exercise restraint and meddle in other people¡¯s business. This old grandfather just wanted to pluck maiden¡¯s yin qi and captured ordinary people but not your sect¡¯s disciples, so why are you all meddling? In the end, aren¡¯t you all bullying me? Heh heh, now, this old grandfather is under the command of Lord Hou. He wants me to rebuild the army and unify the sea area around this place, and the first one to get annihilate will be your Thunderbolt Sect. So will I fear your retaliation? Hahaha, truly a joke!¡± The complexion of the disciples of Thunderbolt Sect become paler. They could neither defeat nor escape, moreover, the threat of the sect was also useless. This red robed old man was already prepared long ago, what should they do now? These disciples were drenched with cold sweat and were at the end of their wits. All of them were terrified. But, at the same time, the eyes of Ye Chuan who was lurking in the dense mist shone. Lord Hou? Which Lord Hou was the Lord Hou mentioned by this red robed great devil, was it¡­¡­ Ye Chuan thought and quickly recalled Qing Tianhou who considered himself best in the world. He had just annihilated the 200,000 soldiers of the latter, if he just let him put together another army to control the surrounding sea area, then all of his previous efforts would be wasted. In addition, Cloud Mist Sect was not far away from the coast, in the future, they would have enemy in the front and back. In the dryland, there would be the attack of Da Qin Dynasty, and in the sea, they had to face the army of Qing Tianhou. Like that, it would be even more difficult to develop calmly. Looking at the laughing red robed old man, the killing intent of Ye Chuan suddenly soared and he slowly held the Iron Blooded Banner. This mountain was dangerous, but the underground passage of Lost City was torn open by the cooperation of Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, he didn¡¯t know how many overseas loose cultivators and the experts of other forces had entered, so he didn¡¯t want to easily make a move. But, since this matter involved Qing Tianhou and the future strategy of Cloud Mist Sect, he couldn¡¯t just look on with folded arms. Chapter 503: Whoever plays with fire will perish by fire At that time, the unarmed young man suddenly made an astonishing move. He took out his battle robe and taking a step forward while enduring the pressure of this red robed old man, he said, ¡°Outlying Islands Sanren, how about we make a bet?¡± ¡°Oh, what bet?¡± Outlying Islands Sanren was somewhat surprised, then he smiled, showing the expression of a cat toying with a trapped mouse. ¡°You and I have a battle, if I lose, you can kill me, but if I win, hereafter, we will keep out of each other¡¯s affairs, how about it?¡± The young man replied. His cultivation base was at most Rank 6 Daoist Master realm, it was not that outstanding, but he was daring. Even though he didn¡¯t have a sword now, he still dared to challenge this red robed old man. He was loyal, unwilling to abandon his junior brothers and sisters and run away by himself. This youth is pretty good! Ye Chuan nodded his head and recalled Li Dingxi, the disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect. Like this youth in front of him, he was also daring and loyal. In this age, there were not many youths like this. Letting him die here just like this was too pitiful. Ye Chuan who had just prepared to make a move stood still and watch quietly. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, boy, still want to fight with this grandfather, do you have the skill?¡± Outlying Islands Sanren roared with laughter and as if he saw through this young man, he said, ¡°Heh heh, aren¡¯t you thinking of stalling for time, hoping for someone to come save you all? This old grandfather will tell you, that¡¯s impossible. Also, don¡¯t think about staying behind to stop me and let your junior brother and sisters run away, that is also impossible. Today, you all will not escape from my grasp! But, since you are courting death, then this old grandfather will help achieve your aim, making you sincerely convinced. Come, this old grandfather will only use one hand, moreover, I will only defend and let you make seven moves. Within those seven moves, if you, this Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect, can force me out of this circle, then this old grandfather will leave; but if not, then don¡¯t blame this old grandfather for plucking flowers, hahaha¡­¡­¡± The red robed old man raised his dragon headed cane and drew a circle with the radius of one meter around him. This Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect basically didn¡¯t even enter his eyes. ¡°Fine, that¡¯s settled then!¡± The Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect turned around and took the sword from a junior brother. Then, without any superfluous words, he directly thrust his swords towards the glabella of this red robed old man. The vague sounds of thunderbolt resounded again. The strength behind this sword thrust was powerful. The eyes of junior brothers and junior sisters standing behind him shone as they saw a glimmer of hope. Just looking at their cultivation base, the Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect was far inferior to this great devil Outlying Islands Sanren, but at this moment, the other party would only defend with his one hand, moreover, if he was forced out of the circle, then the Big Disciple would win. Thus, they saw the glimmer of hope. The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect watched intently with expectation. And especially those two weak female disciples, they were pinning all their hopes on this Big Disciple. If the latter lose, then the two of them would suffer terrible humiliation. They would be defiled by this devil Outlying Islands Sanren. It was better to die than that! The Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect attacked ferociously, but, just the moment before the sword stabbing the glabella of Outlying Islands Sanren, the sword just pierced the empty void. The old devil didn¡¯t use his hand, he didn¡¯t even try to block, he had just dodged it easily. Rank 6 Daoist Master realm against peak Daoist Master realm expert, the gap between these realms was not something that could be made up by just courage. ¡°Kill!¡± The Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect thrust his sword again, sparing no effort to attack, unfortunately, he just his empty void. This time, this blade just brush past the scalp of Outlying Islands Sanren, but he wasn¡¯t injured at all, moreover, he wasn¡¯t forced out of the circle too. ¡°Hahaha, useless, kid, admit your defeat, surrender quietly and strip your two junior sisters in front of this old grandfather, then I will spare you and accept you as my personal servant. Later, when this grandfather snatch respectable women, this old grandfather will pass you the benefit too, then with the duel cultivation technique I imparted to you, you will be able to enjoy with music and singing night after night, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Outlying Islands Sanren roared with laughter, and like a cat toying with a trapped mouse, he made fun of angry Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect. As for the latter, he had already made three moves, although his attacks appeared powerful, unfortunately, all failed to hit even the corner of this old man¡¯s red robe. ¡°Kill, old man, I will fight you to death!¡± The Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect gnashed his teeth. Although he also knew that he was not the opponent, he still tried his best. But, just when he was about to thrust his sword forward again, an aged voice came from the midst of the dense mist, ¡°Fool, just attacking straight, do you know how to add spirit power and use your thought to control the sword move?¡± The angry Big Disciple suddenly stopped, then, he continued to thrust his sword. This time, he had simply closed his eyes, he was using his divine sense to lock onto Outlying Islands Sanren¡¯s position. He used his spirit to control his sword move. In front of the ancient grave, a rumbling sound of thunder suddenly resounded. Although this sword move was the same, the might of this sword move had increased vastly, giving rise to a clear thunderclap. In the past, although his sword move was swift and fierce and emitted rainbow-like radiance, he never used his thoughts to control it, as a result, his sword move lacked soul. Now, after using his spirit to control this sword move, the might was completely different. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Outlying Islands Sanren exclaimed in surprise. A hint of seriousness appeared on his face, but, he dodged this sword move of this Big Disciple. ¡°Thunderbolt Sword, Third Style, Backhand Sword, stab his lower abdomen!¡± The aged voice resounded again. On the battlefield, the Big Disciple adjusted his posture without thinking and use Backhand Sword to stab. The rumbling sounds of thunder resounded one after another, and the sword bade approached Outlying Islands Sanren. The careless Outlying Islands Sanren instantly felt danger from this sword thrust in the midst of thunderclaps. Previously, he carelessly drew a circle with the radius of just one meter around him and thought that there was no danger at all, but now, he tasted its consequences. He hastily raised dragon headed cane and block the sharp sword, but the rumbling thunderclaps hit his face and he felt like a thunderclap exploded in his brain. Instantly, his blood and qi churned and he vomited a mouthful of blood. His spirit was also chaotic as if it was about to be blown out by the thunder. The overly careless Outlying Islands Sanren finally tasted the power of Thunderbolt Sword Technique. The true strength of this sword technique was not swift and fierce sword moves, rather the rumbling thunderclaps. It would violently shake the soul of the opponent and could also scatter the opponent¡¯s spirit. Although the cultivation base of this Big Disciple was outstanding, he didn¡¯t know the true mystery behind Thunderbolt Sword Technique. But now, under the guidance of that hoarse voice, he was suddenly enlightened and his fighting power increased sharply. ¡°Left Hand Sword, Thunderbolt Sword, Fifth Style, stab his glabella; Right Hand Finger Sword, Thunderbolt Sword, Seventh Style, stab his nether area!¡± The aged voice resounded again, guiding this Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sword, not giving this Outlying Islands Sanren any chance to take a breather. Simultaneously using two styles with right and left hand, these disciples of Thunderbolt Sect had never heard of it before, and they were stunned. But, the leader Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect just responded, and nearly accomplished this unimaginable instruction of doing two things at one time. Although his move was somewhat awkward, when all was said and done, he used both hands successfully, and the rumbling sounds of thunderclaps intensified. In an instant, it was like two disciples of Thunderbolt Sect had joined hands to initiate the attack, moreover, no matter the movement or timing, they were just right. This Outlying Islands Sanren who was roaring with laughter just a moment ago was unable to laugh again, moreover, he instantly felt incomparable danger. It was like whoever plays with fire will perish by fire. If he had fought with all his strength, even if there were two Big Disciples of Thunderbolt Sect joining hands, he wouldn¡¯t have anything to fear, he could even win easily. But, before this battle, he had declared that he would use just one hand to defend and wouldn¡¯t attack, moreover, he would admit defeat if he steps of that circle with the radius of only one meter. In addition, he looked down upon his opponent and basically didn¡¯t have time to display his strength after getting caught unprepared. But, time wait for no one, the ferocious attacks whistled towards him and he was unable to endure. Chapter 504: Venerable Thunderbol t Roar! An angry roar suddenly resounded. What a powerful old devil, he dodged at the crucial moment, passing through the crack between the two sword moves of this Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect. His heel just happened to step on the edge of the circle, but this was not against the rule. If this goes on, wouldn¡¯t he win? The Big Disciple suddenly paused and his confidence received a blow. As for the other disciples, they looked pale. The strength of Outlaying Islands Sanren was beyond their imagination, even after simultaneously making two attacks, he didn¡¯t win, how could he wind this battle? ¡°Fool, how did you treasure teach you all, you all didn¡¯t even know Heart Sword of Thunderbolt Sect?¡± The aged voice resounded again and after a pause, it added, ¡°Attack his throat with your left hand using thunderbolt style; as for right hand, use sword technique to stab his lower abdomen; listen carefully, I together with Thunderbolt Heart Technique, with thought as a sword, stab his spirit!¡± A section of profound mnemonic chant suddenly appeared in the mind of this Big Disciple. Then, following that aged voice, that Big Disciple subconsciously made a move he had never imagined before. Not to mention making two moves at the same time, he had an illusion as if he had become a sword in his heart. Thunderbolt Heart Technique roused within his body and he spat out a mouthful of vitality. The world suddenly became quiet, followed by a sudden ear-deafening thunderclap. The complexion of old devil Outlying Islands Sanren greatly changed. First, he moved sideways to dodge the finger sword of Big Disciple, then raised dragon head cane to block the other attack. Although he had moved hastily, his strength was displayed. But the real test came at this moment. The heart sword spat out by Big Disciple had already arrived in front of him along with rumbling thunderclap. Thunderbolt Sword Technique had three realms. The first realm was the powerful and dynamic sword moves, victory with a sword. The more powerful the sword in one¡¯s hand, the more ferocious the attack. The second realm was to make any action a sword move, victory without a sword. In this realm, even a leave would become a deadly weapon. In the entire Thunderbolt Sect, only a few had reached this realm. As for the third realm, it was the legendary heart sword, attack with thought. According to the legend, after achieving success in the cultivation of this realm, one could kill people from a thousand miles away. It was very profound, in the entire Thunderbolt Sect, no one had comprehended it, it was just a legend. The Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect was the same, among the younger generation, he had spent the longest time in the sect and his cultivation was also the highest, but he had not even deeply comprehended the second realm, as for the third realm, he just regarded it as a legend. But, under the guidance of this aged voice, not only he was able to make two moves simultaneously, it could be considered that he had used the legendary heart sword. Everything had instantly happened subconsciously. Even he himself was in disbelief. In the world, if there was something that was faster than light, then it was thought. The killing intent of powerful experts could be easily sensed from more than one thousand miles away. Among the three big realms of Thunderbolt Sword Technique, heart sword was the fastest and also the fiercest. The speed of Outlying Islands Sanren was also very fast, but, after dodging the two attacks of this Big Disciple, facing this heart sword attack, he didn¡¯t have time to dodge. He also didn¡¯t have time to think and subconsciously took half a step back, and that terrifying heart sword scraped past his earlobe, making him bleed a little. In addition, his spirit was shaken. He thanked his fortune, but lowering his head to look, his expression sank. In order to avoid that terrifying heart sword, he had unconsciously stepped out of the circle. According to his own promise, he had lost the bet! ¡°Outlying Islands Sanren, you let me win!¡± The Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect was wild with joy. He was actually able to force out this old devil outside the circle. Even he himself was unable to believe it. He then subconsciously looked towards the direction from where that aged voice had come, unfortunately, he could only see the dense mist. ¡°Is the senior of Thunderbolt Sect here? Since you are already here, why don¡¯t you come out?¡± Outlying Islands Sanren first looked at the disciples of Thunderbolt Sect, then coldly looked at the left side. His eyes were red with dense killing intent. This battle, he lost! He was so conceited and arrogant before and declared that he would only guard not attack, moreover, not to mention using only one hand, he even personally drew the small circle, stating he would admit defeat if he stepped out of it. He had done so because he wanted to toy with these disciples, but the result, he lost his own game! Outlying Islands Sanren was dejected in his heart, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Losing this battle made him very embarrassed, everything was the fault of the expert hiding in the dense mist. Deducing from that voice, he should be an old man, and seeing how he was able to give direction to the Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect, he was clearly the older generation expert of the Thunderbolt Sect. Perhaps, he happened to coincidentally come here, or, he was protecting these disciples from the dark. But the surrounding was very quiet with only the dense mist around. It appeared as if there expert lurking in the dense mist had already left. The expression of Outlying Islands Sanren became uglier, and he was so angry that he wished to kill everyone around, but after thinking about the means of this mysterious expert again, he didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. As for the disciples of Thunderbolt Sect, they also didn¡¯t dare to move randomly. They were worried that this angry Outlying Islands Sanren would attack them. ¡°Big sister Lan, you say¡­¡­, is it Master Sect Leader?¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be, my father once told me that he hasn¡¯t reach heart sword realm, moreover, a crucial section of Thunderbolt Sword Heart Technique is missing.¡± ¡°Then, who was guiding Big Senior Brother?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, perhaps¡­¡­, perhaps the legendary¡­¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect talked in whispers. They were guessing the identity of that mysterious expert like this old devil. At this moment, they just know that that mysterious expert was proficient in Thunderbolt Sword Technique and he had some relation with Thunderbolt Sect, but they had no want to tell who exactly he was. Outlying Islands Sanren pricked up his ears and heard the words of these disciples. He then looked towards the dense mist and shouted, ¡°Could it be that the senior is the legendary Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect, Venerable Thunderbolt? Since senior has already honored us by your presence, why are you willing to appear in front of us?¡± This Outlying Islands Sanren was an unreserved person. He didn¡¯t even attach any importance to Sect Master of Thunderbolt Sect. But, what made him have misgivings were that legendary Taishang Elder Venerable Thunderbolt. According to the legend, he was a cultivator who had reached Half-Sage realm several thousand years ago. Now, it was very likely that he had already stepped into Sage realm. Towards this kind of personage, no matter if the legend was true or false, no one would dare to rashly make a move. The dense mist was quiet, still no response. There was no energy fluctuation and also no living aura as if he had already left long ago. ¡°Senior, since you are not appearing, don¡¯t blame me for being rude to these disciples.¡± The killing intent of Outlying Islands Sanren soared as he suddenly turned towards these disciples. He was too displeased for losing this battle, the more he thought, the angrier he became, however, he didn¡¯t dare to act rashly due to the reputation of Venerable Thunderbolt. Still, he was unwilling to turn around just like this. ¡°Old devil, what are you thinking? Do you want to go back on your words?¡± The Big Disciple became pale. Although his tone was unyielding, once could clearly see that he was nervous. Behind him, his junior brothers and sisters were huddling together in horror. Just a moment ago, he was able to defeat Outlying Islands Sanren by fluke, but if this devil crazily began to kill everyone, not a single one would be able to escape alive from his palm. Chapter 505: Taishang Elder It was quiet with only dense mist all around. It seemed as if that mysterious expert had already left. The red robed old devil, Outlaying Islands Sanren ferociously glared at the disciples of Thunderbolt Sect. His complexion gradually twisted and dense killing intent soared. Moreover, a red light circulated around the dragon headed cane in his hand as if it would transform into a real dragon and pounce on. The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect became all the more frightened, and all of them looked ghastly pale. ¡°Senior, since you are not showing up, don¡¯t blame this grandfather for being impolite.¡± The old devil lowered his voice as he said towards the left-side mist for the last time. The defeat of just a moment ago was too embarrassing, the more he thought, the more he was unwilling to let this matter drop. He was reluctant to let these disciples of Thunderbolt Sect go, but he had some misgivings towards that mysterious expert, lurking in the mist. He didn¡¯t dare to act rashly, and his heart was very tangled. With dense mist all around, one could only see no far than ten meters away. The surrounding was quiet as if the entire world was just a huge grave. It was cold and gloomy without any response. After a long time, the old devil raised the dragon headed cane, but when he was about to make a move, a faint sigh finally came from the midst of the mist, ¡°One day on the mountain, one year below the mountain, I have grown old, I haven¡¯t seen outsiders for a very long time. This junior, do you truly want to see me?¡± The aged voice resounded again. This time, one couldn¡¯t discern the origin of this voice. It appeared as if it was coming from somewhere near, but listening carefully, one would feel as if it was coming from above the highest heaven. And using one¡¯s divine sense to discern, one would feel as if coming from the depth of the underground, making people unable to see through the origin. The complexion of this old devil quickly sank. When that aged voice had resounded, he had used his divine sense trying to lock onto the position of the other party, the result, he ended up empty-handed. He was neither able to learn the other party¡¯s position nor cultivation base. Moreover, he was unable to any figure, only heard the voice. Expert! He indeed is an expert! The old devil was shocked. He felt that the cultivation base of the other party was unfathomable. Even when he was addressed as junior, he felt as if it was supposed to be like that. He deduced that this person should be very old in age. He should be the old-timer that stayed in the nearby sea waters for several hundred years. But, if this mysterious expert lucking in this dense mist was truly the legendary Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect, Venerable Thunderbolt, then in front of him, he truly was a junior. The gaze of the old devil flickered and began to hesitate. He was reluctant to leave just like this. If he let these disciples of Thunderbolt Sect go now, then it would be very hard to find this kind of chance in the future. But, there was a mysterious expert with unfathomable cultivation at one side, so he couldn¡¯t act rashly, otherwise, he might have to pay a heavy price, and in the end, not only he would be unable to humiliate these disciples, he might even lose his life too. ¡°Senior, are you the legendary Taishang Elder Venerable Thunderbolt of Thunderbolt Sect?¡± The old devil asked. The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect also listened attentively with clear excitement and expectation. If that mysterious expert in the mist was truly the legendary Taishang Elder Venerable Thunderbolt, then that would be an extremely big good news. In addition, not to mention they don¡¯t need to fear this old devil Outlaying Island Sanren, their steadily declining Thunderbolt Sect could also invite this super-expert to take command. Then, their sect¡¯s revival would be set on the stone. The no longer should fear the attacks of their enemies and great devils. It was very quiet all around. That mysterious expert didn¡¯t respond. He neither admitted nor denied as if it was not worth doing and also as if he had already left. The old devil was somewhat mad. This mysterious expert was tormenting him. At one moment, he would speak and at one moment, he would remain silent, he was driven nuts. He was unwilling to leave just like this and also didn¡¯t dare to make a move, he was feeling uncomfortable that couldn¡¯t be described. ¡°Senior, the ancient cultivators says ¡®grinding blood over palaces¡¯, how should this word ¡®palaces¡¯ be interpreted?¡± After being entangled for a while, the old devil suddenly asked a question. On one hand, this was a doubt in his cultivation and on the other hand, this was also him beating around the bush to verify the identity of this mysterious expert. ¡°Grinding blood over palaces, it has three layers. The first layer is internal organs; the second layer is veins; and the third layer is apertures.¡± The aged voice resounded again. He was not silent this time. This simple phrase ¡®grinding blood over palace¡¯ actually had three layers? The eyes of this old devil shone. Although this expert had not appeared, those simple words were enough to show that his cultivation was profound. This was absolutely not something that ordinary cultivator could comprehend. After a pause, he memorized the words of this mysterious expert and asked, ¡°Senior, that Ancient Avatar Technique¡¯s heart bearing all creations, how could it be interpreted?¡± ¡°In fact, Ancient Avatar Technique is the wrong name. In ancient times, the correct name was Spirit Division Technique. As for the real avatars, after cultivating spirit to a certain realm, the result would be naturally achieved. After dividing spirit into two, one will have the first avatar; then, cultivating and being well-versed for a long time, two will bear three, this is the third avatar; then, three will bear all creations. On the analogy of this, finally refine one thousand avatars, becoming eternal. The so-called heart bearing all creations, in fact, is three bearing all creations, spirits and thoughts are the foundation, unfortunately, most people do not know the real cultivation method now. The avatars of many people are in fact just a puppet to deceive themselves.¡± The aged voice came from the mist. And after explaining briefly, a faint sigh could be heard. ¡°Senior, then if the spirit is not sufficiently strong but still cultivated this Ancient Avatar Technique forcibly, then what would happen?¡± The old devil asked again, looking impatient. ¡°The path of cultivation is basically the pay of defying-heaven, it is the survival of the fittest.¡± The mysterious expert faintly answered. His words were concise, but thinking carefully, it was cold and chilling. After a pause, he added, ¡°Outlying Islands Sanren was it? Looking at your cultivation base, it cannot be considered poor, just half a step away from breaking through to Half Sage realm. But, it¡¯s a pity that you might forever be waiting for that day in a vain. The Ancient Avatar Technique is not a technique that everyone can cultivate. Don¡¯t you feel a vague tingling pain in your qimen acupoint? When you no longer feel that tingling pain, that would be the end of your life. Return and prepare in advance.¡± After he finished speaking, the surrounding suddenly became silent. The mysterious expert no longer responded. The old devil pressed his qimen acupoint and his complexion changed greatly, then turned away without uttering a word. From the beginning to the end, the mysterious expert never showed himself, just spoke several words, but it was already enough. The aged voice was proficient in the unique technique, Thunderbolt Sword Technique, of Thunderbolt Sect, in addition, his knowledge in cultivation as also unfathomable. Peak Daoist Master realm was not worth mentioning. Such an expert, other than the legendary Taishang Elder Venerable Thunderbolt of Thunderbolt Sect, who else he could be? This old devil Outlying Islands Sanren who ran wild in former days, after confirming the identity of this mysterious expert, he tactfully turned away. In addition, after hearing the last words of this mysterious expert, he panicked in his heart. Now, the most important matter was not exploring this racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, rather resolving his peril. Otherwise, his cultivation technique, Ancient Avatar Technique would bring his end. Chapter 506: A hint of embarrassment in hear t ¡°We pay respect to Taishang Elder!¡± After the old devil Outlying Islands Sanren left, the disciples of Thunderbolt Sect finally sighed in relief, then they looked at each other and simultaneously kneeled on the ground. They actually encountered the legendary Taishang Elder Venerable Thunderbolt, could it be that this was fate, or the fortune the ancient people spoke of? These disciples were very excited and looked forward to seeing the demeanor of Taishang Elder. Deducing from the legend, Taishang Elder Venerable Thunderbolt was already at least 7,000 years old, even the current Sect Master had not seen Thunderbolt Venerable. But, they accidentally ran into such a peak expert, this was absolutely their greatest fortune! It was quiet all around without any response. There was only mist around as if that mysterious expert had already left. These excited disciples of Thunderbolt Sect were disappointed, and especially the Big Disciple, he became crestfallen. They had encountered the legendary Taishang Elder with great difficulty, and under his direction, he was able to display Heart Sword for the first time. So, he was looking forward to consulting about complete Heart Sword Technique, or even become the personal disciple of Taishang Elder; but beyond his expectation, Taishang Elder had left. Even if the Seat Master was here in their place, he would also be disappointed. The higher the hope, the greater the disappointment! In the dense mist, Ye Chuan slowly stood up and his figure swayed. But, just when he was about to use Cyan Feather Technique to leave, his footsteps suddenly stopped and looked at a handkerchief in the hand of one female disciple of Thunderbolt Sect. This is¡­¡­, Tuoba Xiaoniao¡¯s¡­¡­ Ye Chuan raised his eyebrows as he felt a wisp of familiar aura on this handkerchief. After pretending to be the senior expert of Thunderbolt Sect and making Outlying Islands Sanren retreat, he was intending to leave, so as to avoid making this matter complicate by mingling with these disciples, but the lingering aura of Tuoba Xiaoniao on that handkerchief made him stop. He thought for a bit and disguising himself as an old man and wearing a big bamboo hat, he slowly walked out. The rustling sounds of footsteps was very clear in this silent area. The eyes of the disappointed disciples shone and they looked over with rapt attention. They saw a cyan robed old man walking out from the mist. He was tall and wore a big bamboo hat. They couldn¡¯t see his face, but his composed steps and fluttering cyan robe made them feel that he was an aloof and refined celestial being. ¡°Thunderbolt Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, Big Waves pays respect to Taishang Elder!¡± ¡°Disciple Ye Lanqing pays respect to Taishang Elder!¡± ¡­¡­ The disciples were overjoyed and knelt down in succession. In their heart, they already believed that Ye Chuan was their Thunderbolt Sect¡¯s legendary Taishang Elder, Venerable Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt Sect was also a sect with a long history. It also had a brilliant and glory in the past. Unfortunately, after a long period of time, the disciples of the sect were getting worse with each generation. In addition, not to mention it was declining day by day, its enemy had destroyed their sect, forcing them to flee to Overseas World to take refuge, and the essence of their unique technique, Thunderbolt Sword Technique, was also lost. The sword technique manual in the hands of Sect Master was just an incomplete copy, lacking the crucial segment of the technique. The most powerful technique in the Thunderbolt Sword Technique was the heart sword. Now, only Ye Chuan who once had fought for three days and night against Thunderbolt Great Sage knew it. Ye Chuan declined to comment, he neither declined nor admitted. He just walked straight to the front of the female disciple called Ye Lanqing. Then, he grabbed the void and the handkerchief that had fallen on the ground flew to his hand. He then placed it in front of his nose and smelled. He could clearly smell a fragrance, sure enough, that was the aura of Tuoba Xiaoniao. The cultivation base of Tuoba Xiaoniao was not high, but she was wise and clever. She wouldn¡¯t easily wander everywhere. So, at this moment, not to mention numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, there furthermore should be her father Tuoba Xiong beside him, how could her handkerchief fall in the hands of other people? Was it accidentally blown away by the wind, or did she encounter an accident? Ye Chuan was worried. The circumstance of this racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan was far more complicated than he had imagined before. Not to mention the dense mist shrouded everything and there were graves and ancient restrictions everywhere, many overseas loose cultivators had also broken in. Although the group of Tuoba Xiaoniao and Zhu Sijia was large in number, if they encountered Qing Tianhou and similar level evil experts, then no matter their numbers, it would be useless. ¡°Taishang Elder, this disciple pick this handkerchief up on the road, is¡­., is there something wrong?¡± The female disciple Ye Lanqing was somewhat embarrassed and said with a red face. Although this handkerchief had the aura of Tuoba Xiaoniao, she had placed it in her bosom, thus, it also had her aura and even her warmth. And seeing Ye Chuan was smelling this handkerchief like this in front of everyone, she couldn¡¯t help feeling ashamed. But, after thinking the other party was Taishang Elder of their sect who was much older than her great-grandfather¡¯s great-grandfather, and no one could compare to him in seniority, it was not that embarrassing. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t reply. After carefully confirming the aura of Tuoba Xiaonaio, he asked in his disguised aged voice, ¡°This handkerchief, where did you pick it up?¡± ¡°Roughly ten li away, near an ancient grave.¡± Ye Lanqing answered, and after mumbling, she added, ¡°At that time, this disciple saw that this handkerchief was embroidered meticulously, and the workmanship was unlike the workmanship that is frequently seen in Overseas World, so¡­¡­, so¡­¡­¡± ¡°Taishang Elder, this handkerchief is indeed unwittingly picked up by junior sister.¡± That Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect, Big Waves, helped Ye Lanqing. Seeing Ye Chuan was completely focused on the handkerchief without speaking after coming out, he was puzzled because he couldn¡¯t be anything strange on this handkerchief. If an ordinary person was in his, then he would have already regarded him as a person with mental disorder, but who was the person in front of him? He was the legendary Taishang Elder, from this ordinary handkerchief, he might have figured out something! As the first impression was the strongest, after they firmly believed that Ye Chuan was their sect¡¯s legendary Taisheng Elder Venerable Thunderbolt, these disciples were extremely respectful to Ye Chuan. They provided answered to any question, they didn¡¯t dare to have air in front of him. ¡°What kind of grave was it?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°This¡­¡­¡± The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect looked at each other and failed to answer for a moment. In this mountain, there were graves everywhere. And since they had coincidentally passed by that grave, they were unable to describe what kind of grave it was. ¡°Was there any trace of fighting? Or to say, do you see any tomb passage, or the trace of someone entering?¡± Ye Chuan asked again. ¡°Right, right, there was, there was a tomb passage, we were surprised at that time, all grave robbers were running over there!¡± Ye Lanqing suddenly recalled something and hastily replied. ¡°Go, lead me there.¡± Ye Chuan instructed and kept the handkerchief after folding. The disciples immediately walked forward, leading the way. And he leisurely followed behind them. The situation was far from good, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Zhu Sijia and others might have encountered mishap, so he was very worried in his heart and wanted to quickly rush over, but his experience told made him calmer the more worried he became. He knew that he must not panic at this moment. ¡°So powerful, Taishang Elder clearly is following behind us, but we cannot sense his energy fluctuation and aura as if he is not there!¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense, Taishang Elder naturally is powerful, do you think you can sense him with your miserly cultivation!¡± ¡°Yes, if he was not powerful, then how could he scare that old devil Outlying Islands Sanren away? Since miserly has come out, this means the revival of our sect is within our sight!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect talked in whispers while walking. They were unable to hold the excitement of their heart. Even the graceful female disciple Ye Lanqing couldn¡¯t help turning around repeatedly to size up Ye Chuan walking behind them. In her heart, she was planning how to get close to Ye Chuan? According to the legend, several thousand years ago, he had already broken through to Half Sage realm, not speaking much, as long as she could learn a few tricks from him, then she would be perfectly content and she will be able to defeat all the younger generation of all sects! Ye Lanqing walked forward while planning inwardly, and recalling that scene of Ye Chuan smelling that handkerchief, for some unknown reasons, although she was fully aware that the other party was Taishang Elder, she still felt embarrassed and her beautiful face turned bright red. Chapter 507: The grave of Great Monarch With dense mist everywhere, it was harder to advance forward in this unfathomable mountain. In some places, there wasn¡¯t even a road at all. The more one walked forward, the greater the chance of losing one¡¯s direction. After a good while, the disciples of Thunderbolt Sect finally found the way they had taken before. ¡°Taishang Elder, that grave is in the front.¡± The female disciple Ye Lanqing finally found a topic of conversation to get closer. She spoke while slowing down her speed, wanting to walk side by side with Ye Chuan. But the result, Ye Chuan behind her suddenly stopped and the distance between them increased. The pretty face of Ye Lanqing became red. She was somewhat embarrassed and somewhat awkward, fortunately, because of the dense mist, unless looked carefully, no one will know. ¡°Taishang Elder, what happened?¡± The Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect who was walking in the front stopped and turned around to look at Ye Chuan. He was puzzled. Ye Chuan had leisurely followed them until the very end. He just looked like a vague human figure when he was standing in the midst of the mist, it gave people an unreal feeling as if a phantom that would disappear at any time. Even after walking for such a long time, no one was able to clearly see his face or true features. This person, was the truly the legendary Taishang Elder Venerable Thunderbolt of their Thunderbolt Sect? This thought suddenly appeared in the mind of this Big Disciple, but, he quickly denied it and reprimand himself. Weren¡¯t true experts always mysterious? After thinking about the legends of many mysterious experts in the history of Wilderness World, the Big Disciple tossed away the doubt in his heart. ¡°There is someone in the front, follow me.¡± Ye Chuan faintly instructed and suddenly took the lead, detouring from the left side. But, not even after a while, he suddenly stopped and sat cross-legged on the spot, and silently used a technique to completely retract his energy fluctuation and aura. ¡°Eh, there really is someone!¡± ¡°Raging Inferno Sect, Cool Breeze Sect, furthermore, Snake Island Sect¡­¡­, that¡­¡­, isn¡¯t that that old devil Outlying Islands Sanren?¡± The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect also stopped and looking in the front, they saw people around the grave not far away from them. They didn¡¯t know when but a large number of people had gathered here. And after observing carefully, she saw many familiar faces including that old devil Ye Chuan had just forced to retreat. The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect became nervous. They immediately closed their mouth and stood behind Ye Chuan, carefully hiding in the dense mist. Experts really are experts, even from so far away, he was able to sense, if it was not for the warning of their Taishang Elder, they would have encountered that old devil Outlying Islands Sanren again. The disciples were too nervous and didn¡¯t dare to walk out, but at the same time, they were also confused, they wondered why so many cultivators and devils had gathered here. Could it be that there was something fishy with this grave? Recalling the odd behavior of Ye Chuan, these disciples had a thought, but they still stood in the midst of the mist and look from afar. Looking around, they saw more and more cultivators around this ancient grave. There were disciples of the nearby sea area¡¯s sects, loose cultivators and also infamous great devils. There were at least over a hundred people. Slowly, this place was getting noisy. ¡°Come, dig it out and see what is written on the stele.¡± ¡°Great¡­ Monarc¡­ Sea¡­ Waves, my god, this really is the grave of Great Monarch, no wonder there is such a strong fluctuation of restriction underground!¡± ¡°Strange, when did Sea Demon Clan have such a Great Monarch?¡± ¡°What an ignorant fellow, don¡¯t you know Sages and Great Monarchs have left millions of years ago?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. Outside the thick mist, people made remarks in succession. Some people dug out half the stone stele of this ancient grave from underground, and after discovering the four words ¡®Great Monarch Blue Waves¡¯, onlooking cultivators were excited. The grave of any Great Monarch would more or less have powerful treasures sealed within it. Since this Great Monarch¡¯s grave was inside the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, wouldn¡¯t the treasures sealed inside be even more powerful? The cultivators who had come to seize the treasures were very excited instantly after seeing this stone stele. Even before they entered this grave, some people were already coming to blows to seize this half stone stele. The racial holy land of an ancient race, anything inside it might be a heaven defying treasure. Even ordinarily looking stone stele might contain profound mysteries, it might fetch high price outside. ¡°I will just take this tone stele, you all can take everything else!¡± ¡°Heh heh, this stone stele is mine, who dares to move?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. Many people vied for this stone stele and the surrounding of this ancient grave instantly became chaotic. A grave of ancient Great Monarch, there were countless treasures sealed within, but there were also innumerable powerful ancient restrictions. Although all the loose cultivators and devils were eager to break in, they were not stupid, no one dared to be the first one to break in. They wanted others to explore the way first, and all harbored sinister designs. On the contrary, the fought to seize this stone stele which was already dug out. Soon, someone screamed and fell into his blood pool. Someone had finally grabbed the stone stele, the result, before he was able to put it into his space ring, he was killed under the joint attack of other loose cultivators and devils. The complexion of these disciples of Thunderbolt was stretched taut, and after seeing the chaotic battle outside the mist, they were frightened. This time, after hearing the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan had opened, they were ordered to go out to the sea to temper themselves. With the experts of their sect accompanying them, they just some disciples, so they had no thoughts to seize any treasure, they just wanted to experience and widen their knowledge. Just a moment ago, if it wasn¡¯t for Ye Chuan¡¯s warning to stop, not to mention, they would have gone over and encountered that old devil Outlying Islands Sanren, they furthermore would have been annihilated in that chaotic battle! Not long after, several Daoist Master realm expects fell in their pool of blood, but more and more people made a move, and their cultivation was higher and higher. It seems all the experts and devils of within ten thousand li of this sea area had come here. The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect were shocked and frightened. Among the group, only Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed tightly. Although the scuffle outside was getting fiercer and fiercer, he appeared as if his spirit was traveling ten thousand li away. After seeing the handkerchief of Tuoba Xiaoniao, he had rushed over and finally arrived at the destination, but he was not impatient at all. He appeared as if he was waiting for something. A loud whistling sound suddenly came from far away. It was accompanied by a mighty pressure. The heart of loose cultivators and devils who were fighting against each other shook. All of them felt danger and became nervous. The eyes of old devil Outlying Islands Sanren however shone as he looked towards the origin of that whistling sound. The loud whistling sound resounded once again, this time, the distance was much closer. It felt as if this whistling sound was resounding right beside their ears, making everyone feel tingling pain. And just after the whistling sound, a tall figure burst out from the dense mist, parting dense mist. He was tall and his complexion was ice-cold. He was holding a sharp halberd, in addition, he was emitting incomparable killing intent. Instantly, even peak Daoist Master realm devils shivered in fear. Qing Tianhou! Ye Chuan who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, and looking at the unstoppable Qing Tianhou, his heart trembled as his face gradually stretched taut. Chapter 508: Might shaking all directions The arrival of Qing Tianhou shocked everyone on the scene. Even powerful devils were also shocked by this imposing might. Ye Chuan suddenly took out a lot of crystals and arrange them into a circle with everyone in it, then using a technique, he quickly laid out a simple Dragon Trapping Formation. This powerful formation could seal, suppress and besiege formidable enemies, but it could also be used for restraining and blocking one¡¯s energy fluctuation and aura, helping one to quietly lurk in the surrounding. Most of the average people only knew using this ancient formation forcibly, they know the hows but not the whys. As for Ye Chuan who once was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he was different, it was not difficult for him to lay out a simple formation in reverse. The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect suddenly had a marvelous feeling in their heart, and when they opened their eyes, they saw that a circular ripple had appeared in the midst of grey mist all around, making the figure of numerous cultivators gathered around that ancient grave seemed somewhat twisted. They felt like they were in a completely different world from those people and watching them through a looking glass. Taishang Elder truly was Taishang Elder, just his casual move was extraordinary! The disciples were shocked and understood how powerful Ye Chuan was again. Now, they were even more certain that he was the legendary Taishang Elder Venerable Thunderbolt of Thunderbolt Sect, and their heart slowly relaxed as even though more and more devils were gathered outside, with their Taishang Elder beside them, was there anyone they needed to fear? ¡°Without my instruction, no one is allowed to walk out of this circle.¡± Ye Chuan instructed in a low voice. The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect had relaxed, but he didn¡¯t dare to be careless. This was just a simplified Dragon Trapping Formation, it was just able to display a bit of its true power. This formation could easily conceal them from ordinary overseas loose cultivators and devils, but with just this formation, it was hard to hide from Qing Tianhou. If Qing Tianhou carefully scanned around, then he might be able to notice them. Seeing the numbers of loose cultivators and devils gathered around this ancient grave was increasing, Ye Chuan was on guard. He didn¡¯t dare to easily expose himself as he instinctively felt danger. But, he had not expected to see Qing Tianhou coming here in person. Looking at this most formidable enemy since his rebirth, he was prepared to escape at any time. He didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He just hid in the dense mist and watched. After refining Qingtian Wardrun, Ye Chuan had condensed the tenth Heaven Swallowing Talisman and also broken through to Rank 6 Daoist Master realm. If he encountered a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert or even a peak Daoist Master realm expert, then even without the assistance of Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, he might not necessarily lose. But, facing this Half Sage realm heaven-defying expert Qing Tianhou, even if he made a sneak attack, he didn¡¯t have any certainty to win. Outside, the complexion of loose cultivators and devils was solemn. With the arrival of Qing Tianhou, all of them sensed danger and no one dared to make move easily. Only the old devil Overlying Islands Sanren happily stepped forward to welcome. ¡°Zhong Moli pays respect to Lord Hou!¡± The old devil walked to the front of Qing Tianhou and greeted respectfully while bowing. In the past, this old devil, who called himself old grandfather even in front of similar peak Daoist Master realm experts, announced his full name and greeted respectfully as a servant in front of this seemingly young Qing Tianhou. ¡°Overlying Island Sanren, when did this old devil sought refuge with Qing Tianhou?¡± ¡°This old fellow, he truly is more cunning than a thousand years old fox. He first went to seek refuge with a powerful backer!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ People talked in whispers and looked at Overlying Island Sanren with surprise, disdain and also jealousy. In the Mainland World, the infamous name of Qing Tianhou had already spread far and wide. In the Overseas World, there originally were not many people who knew him, but after the battle between him and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng in Bellowing Waves Island, then cooperating to rip the space to open a passage to Lost City, the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, his strength was deeply inscribed in the mind of people. Thus, these ferocious devils didn¡¯t even have a thought to resist upon seeing Qing Tianhou as they knew that they were not his opponent. ¡°Zhong Moli, did you suddenly summoned this Lord Hou for this grave?¡± Qing Tianhou asked with a cold voice. ¡°Lord Hou, this is not an ordinary grave, rather a grave of Great Monarch. That loose cultivator has obtained the fragment stone stele where ancient words ¡®Great Monarch Sea Waves¡¯ were carved. It is very likely that the true Lost City with origin energy and the racial sacred item is sealed inside.¡± Outlying Island Sanren hastily replied. After he was forced to withdraw by Ye Chuan pretending to be Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect, he accidentally encountered a few famous great devils. He followed them and arrived at this ancient grave, then sensing the fluctuation of this ancient grave¡¯s restriction, he immediately knew that this grave was not simple and crushed the message talisman to inform Qing Tianhou. Sure enough, his premonition was correct. This ancient grave was different from other graves, it was the grave of Great Monarch. ¡°Oh, Great Monarch?¡± The eyes of Qing Tianhou shone with interest and he suddenly grabbed the empty void, capturing a loose cultivator not far away who had obtained the stone stele. Then a cold light flashed and the head of that loose cultivator fell to the ground. Now, the stone stele fell into the hands of Qing Tianhou. The loose cultivators and devils gathered around this ancient grave inhaled a cold air in fear. This unfortunate loose cultivator was famous in nearby sea areas. His cultivation base was not any inferior to Outlying Islands Sanren, otherwise, he couldn¡¯t have seized that stone stele. A grand peak Daoist Master realm expert unexpectedly didn¡¯t even have time to react before he was beheaded. He wasn¡¯t even able to scream. What kind of realm had this Qing Tianhou reached? What kind of evil spirit was he? Originally, there were some loose cultivators and devil who still had thoughts on that stone stele, but now, they quickly retreated, they didn¡¯t dare to have any extravagant hopes. There were also many people who turned around and left without saying a word. With Qing Tianhou, this evil spirit here, there was no chance for other people to obtain the treasures inside this grave of Great Monarch. Outlying Island Sanren was also nervous, like being close to the sovereign could be as perilous as lying with a tiger, if he was not attentive enough when serving, then he might also lose his head. Not to mention his complexion was stretched taut, upon careful examination, one could see that he was also trembling. His fear towards Qing Tianhou was not any weaker than the fear felt by these loose cultivators and devils. ¡°Great¡­¡­ Monarch¡­¡­ Sea¡­¡­. Waves, good, this name is good, it¡¯s a pity that he has already died, otherwise, he would have experienced this Lord Hou¡¯s Qingtian Halberd, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou crushed the fragment stone stele into pieces. He then roared with laughter and walked over to the tomb passage of this ancient grave. Inside the grave, one could feel the fluctuation of ancient restriction. This fluctuation was strange and ghastly, even peak Daoist Master realm experts felt fear, but Qing Tianhou was indifferent, in addition, he walked faster and faster. ¡°Lord¡­¡­, Lord Hou, it seems like there is an issue with my Ancient Avatar Technique, there is a faint tingling pain in my qimen acupoint, can you help me examine?¡± Outlying Islands Sanren suddenly stepped forward and bracing himself, he lowered his head and meekly requested. After he was forced to retreat by Ye Chuan, the more he thought the more restless he became. He understood that he had truly walked the wrong path in his cultivation. According to Ye Chuan, there was a hope to cure this tingling pain, but if he continued to cultivate and ignore this issue, then it would be beyond remedy. In the need, he wouldn¡¯t achieve success in his cultivation, he might lose his life! Feeling uncomfortable, Outlying Islands Sanren immediately thought of Qing Tianhou who he had just gotten as a backer, and was eagerly waiting to request him to cure him. Chapter 509: This backer is not too stable The complexion of Qing Tianhou was cold and expressionless. He just took a glance at this old devil Outlying Islands Sanren and said two words, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± After confirming this was indeed the grave of Great Monarch, Qing Tianhou was excited and was impatient to break in. At this moment, where did he have spare time to examine this Outlying Islands Sanren? The complexion of old devil Outlying Islands Sanren twisted, and looking at this overbearing Qing Tianhou, he was afraid in his heart, but he was reluctant to let go of this opportunity and pleaded, ¡°Lord Hou, this little over truly has qi deviation, I beg you to help me. In the future, I will help you unify the Overseas World, and follow you for my lifetime!¡± More than one hundred years ago, this old devil had accidentally obtained an ancient manual in an ancient ruin. That was the manual of Ancient Avatar Technique. Unfortunately, that ancient manual was damaged and he only obtained an incomplete copy, many key parts of this ancient manuals were already lost. Still, after cultivating it, his cultivation base advanced at an amazing pace and the sign of condensing avatar became clearer and clearer, however at the same time, all sorts of discomfort began to appear on his back. Even before running into Ye Chuan, this old devil had already felt that something was wrong and was worried about the cultivation has gone awry. And after encountering Ye Chuan who was disguised as Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect, he was even more certain without a doubt, he was having a qi deviation. At this moment, Qing Tianhou with unfathomable cultivation base was his sole backer, and he was the only one he could seek help, therefore, even though he perfectly knew that Qing Tianhou was angry, he had no choice but to toughen his scalp and stood out. ¡°You are fine, who said that you are having a qi diviation?¡± Qing Tianhou suppressed his anger and after taking a glance at this old devil, he didn¡¯t flip out, but his tone got colder and impatient. ¡°A¡­¡­, a peerless senior.¡± The old devil stammered as he sweated profusely. ¡°Oh, what kind of peerless expert?¡± Qing Tianhou sneered. ¡°The legendary Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect, Venerable Thunderbolt, it is said¡­¡­, it is said that he had already broken through to Half Sage realm several thousand years ago.¡± The old devil replied. The expression of Qing Tianhou made him more and more restless. He was terrified in his heart and was dying to turn around and leave far away. But, thinking about his qi deviation again, he had no choice but to toughen his scalp and stay there. ¡°The legendary Taishang Elder?¡± Qing Tianhou sneered and a hint of disdain appeared on his face as he said, ¡°If other people casually said anything, do you also believe them? Okay, this Lord Hou will say you only have three days to live, do you believe?¡± ¡°Lord Hou, I¡­¡­¡± The old devil sweated profusely and stuttered, but before he had time to provide an explanation, Qing Tianhou sent him flying, ¡°Step aside, put off any matter you have until sometime later!¡± Qing Tianhou directly hit the old devil who was blocking his way and sent him flying to one side. He then entered the tomb passage and disappeared. These loose cultivators and devil who had gathered first all harbored sinister designs, just for a trivial stone stele, they had come to blows, Qing Tianhou however had sensed a wisp of peculiar aura, that was the special aura of Sea Demon Clan! So, in order to prevent Sea Demon Clan from taking the lead in successfully obtaining the racial sacred item sealed in the Lost City and then manipulate the power of restriction to deal with all outsiders, Qing Tianhou was unwilling to waste any time. ¡°Look, this is the end result of going to seek refuge with other people!¡± ¡°Heh heh, I thought that he had found a good backer, but who would have thought that¡­¡­¡± The loose cultivators and devils gathered around this grave of Great Monarch pointed at old devil who was getting up and ridiculed. These people who originally were jealous now were ridiculing. The face of old devil suddenly turned red. He was incomparably embarrassed. He wished to find a hole to jump into it. In the nearby sea area, he was a personage that command respect, but today, he was completely humiliated in front of these people. At that time, an ear piercing sonic boom came from inside the tomb passage, followed by an earthquake. Now, the people didn¡¯t have time to ridicule humiliated Outlying Islands Sanren, they subconsciously jumped back and looked at that dark tomb path in fear. Powerful! Qing Tianhou¡­¡­, did he directly break open the ancient restriction of this tomb passage and broke in? The loose cultivators and devils gathered around this Great Monarch¡¯s grave suspiciously looked over. The ground was shaking more and more violently, then with a shattering sound, this shaking stopped as if the restriction inside this tomb passage was thoroughly destroyed, or perhaps, Qing Tianhou was trapped in this restriction. ¡°Let¡¯s go to see!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The people were restless. They didn¡¯t know what had happened inside the tomb passage, but after hesitation for a while, some great devils took the initiative to enter. A grave of Great Monarch, was real Lost City sealed inside? What kind of treasure were inside? The legend of Lost City gave many people unlimited ambitions and expectations. The dark tomb passage was unfathomable, but once someone took the lead, more people followed in. In the blink of an eye, over a hundred loose cultivators and devils had already entered. As for old devil Outlying Islands Sanren, he had a pale face and he also entered after hesitation for a while. Now that Qing Tianhou was no longer helping him, he could only rely on himself. He hoped to find something in this grave of Great Monarch to resolve his issue. In this place with dense mist, people were still rushing over in haste and they didn¡¯t even look carefully before rushing into this grave of Great Monarch. At that time, Ye Chuan stood up and walked out of the dense mist with the disciples of Thunderbolt Sect, but he didn¡¯t enter immediately, rather carefully examined this ancient grave of Great Monarch. At first glance, this ancient grave was nothing special. Only after careful sensing, one could feel a hint of restriction¡¯s fluctuation coming from the depth of the ground. But, in addition to the restrictions in the graves of this mountain, there was a world inside. If it was not for that fragment stone stele dug out from underground, no one would have thought that this was a grave of Great Monarch. ¡°Taishang Elder, I pick up that handkerchief from here.¡± The female disciple Ye Lanqing took a few steps forward and pointed at a small hole. Ye Chuan walked over, squatted down and after observing carefully, he could vaguely see footprints among the fallen leaves in the front. These footprints weren¡¯t big, from the size and shape, he could deduce that they were clearly the footprints of a woman. And next to the footprints, he discovered a drop of dark red bloodstain. It was already dried. If he hadn¡¯t squatted down and observed carefully, he would have basically missed it. Ye Chuan reached out his finger, touched this bloodstain and brought it near his nose. After taking a sniff, a vaguely familiar aura entered his nose, that was¡­¡­, the aura of sea demoness Hai Lili! The eyes of Ye Chuan shone. Now, he was one step closer to finding Zhu Sijia and others. The essence blood flowing in the body of Hai Lili was the key for opening many restrictions of Lost City. In the underground grotto of Bellowing Waves Island, it was her essence blood that opened the passage to Lost City. And here, the handkerchief of Tuoba Xiaoniao was found, in addition, there was the bloodstain of Hai Lili, this sufficiently explained that Zhu Sijia and others had definitely come here. It was very likely that they were inside this grave and real Lost City was also inside! Ye Chuan stood up and after taking a deep breath, he walked into that dark tomb passage. Behind, those disciples of Thunderbolt Sect kept up the pace. Chapter 510: Flame Mountain After a while, Ye Chuan and his group arrived in a strange world. Looking around, they saw that there were huge cracks everywhere on the ground, red magma was flowing in them, flames were soaring towards the sky and dense clouds of smoke were rising from the ground. One grave one world, last time, Ye Chuan had entered an ancient city covered with yellow sands, but now, he arrived at Flame Mountain. Ye Chuan was already prepared in advance, but as for the disciples of Thunderbolt Sect, they were clearly terrified, this was their first time entering the world inside the grave. ¡°Every grave has a different world sealed within. You have to kill the yao beast of this world to successfully pass the test, then not only you will be teleported outside, you can also obtain the treasure sealed within the body of that yao beast. Whether you can survive or find a treasure, it is upto your own fortune.¡± Ye Chuan looked at these disciples of Thunderbolt Sect and explained simply. ¡°So, that is the case!¡± These disciples suddenly understood and relaxed gradually. With Ye Chuan who they believed to be the legendary Taishang Elder beside them, they didn¡¯t need to fear to encounter any dangers. ¡°Elder, is there truly Lost City here?¡± The female disciple Ye Lanqing asked. In this dangerous and unfathomable strange world, she subconsciously walked to the side of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan slightly turned around to look, a pair of jade peaks was especially conspicuous. This female disciple was not tall and her figure also couldn¡¯t be considered very good. At least compared to Zhu Sijia, and Tuoba Xiaoniao, she was inferior, but he wondered whether because she lived on the island with abundant rain, her bosom was especially full and round. As the former Heave Concealing Great Sage, he had seen all kinds of women and had already passed the age where he was easily tempted by women¡¯s charm, but the impressive twin mountain of this female disciple Ye Lanqing still made him instinctively take a few more glances. Sensing the gaze of Ye Chuan, not only this female disciple Ye Lanqing didn¡¯t get shy, on the contrary, she stuck out her chest and grabbed his right arm, then said, ¡°Elder, my father had said that countless treasures are sealed inside Lost City, the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, in addition, there is also their origin energy, and whoever obtains that origin energy can instantly step into Half Sage realm or even Sage realm, is that true?¡± The right arm of Ye Chuan was sunk into the well-developed bosom of this female disciple Ye Lanqing. As the beloved daughter of Thunderbolt Sect¡¯s Sect Master, she was pampered and spoiled from childhood, but she knew how to fawn on elders. Although she had met Ye Chuan not long ago, she firmly believed that the latter was the legendary Taishang Elder Venerable Thunderbolt of their sect, so she naturally displayed her fawning skills she used on her father and elders of the sect. A wisp of maiden fragrance entered his nasal cavities and permeated into his heart. Even worse, his arm was sunk into her twin mountain. Even though there was clothing between his arm and her twin mountain, he could sense that firmness worthy of pride, in addition, he could clearly feel the warmth of this female disciple¡­¡­ The female disciple Ye Lanqing had an intimate and sweet appearance, but the expression of Ye Chuan was somewhat unnatural, and the air around became somewhat subtle. Fortunately, he wore a big bamboo hat, so no one was able to see his expression clearly. In the eyes of the other disciples of Thunderbolt Sect, the coquettish act of Ye Lanqing towards this elder was nothing. At most, they thought this was too intimate. Only the expression of the Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect, Big Waves, was somewhat abnormal. He appeared as if he wanted to speak, but he stopped. He was feeling sour in his heart and wanted to step up and stop this, but he couldn¡¯t find any pretext. He also wanted to get angry, but he didn¡¯t dare. This silly lad, as it turned out he likes this girl, but it is just an unrequited love! Ye Chuan shot a quick glance at these disciples of Thunderbolt Sect and seeing their different expression, he roughly understood their nature. ¡°Elder, say, is Lost City here or not? Will we ever be able to go out?¡± Ye Lanqing urged. While shaking the arm of Ye Chuan. She had gotten this chance to get close to Ye Chuan, this Taishang Elder, with great difficulty, she naturally wouldn¡¯t let this chance slip by. Besides, she was also uncertain and nervous in her heart. She hoped that there was the legendary Lost City here, and again was worried that she would be trapped here forever. Now, Ye Chuan, this legendary Taishang Elder, was naturally the only one she could rely on among everyone. ¡°Will we be trapped here forever? It is still hard to say now, but little girl, if you continue to shake like this, then my old bones are about to fall apart.¡± Ye Chuan quickly take away his hand. Being entangled like this with Ye Lanqing, although his bones wouldn¡¯t truly fall apart, if some physical changes appeared because of such intimate contact, then it would be bad. Not mentioning anything else, how could he still pretend to be their sect¡¯s Taishang Elder? Many overseas loose cultivators and devil along with Qing Tianhou had broken into this grave of Great Monarch. Although Ye Chuan was dying to immediately find Zhu Sijia and others, he was well aware that he must be cautious. It would be dangerous if his identity was exposed. He might be cut into pieces by Qing Tianhou at any time. At this moment, disguising and walking together with these disciples of Thunderbolt Sect was a good idea. He would lurk in the dark and quietly watch the changes. ¡°Yes, Qingqing, don¡¯t lack manners in front of the elder.¡± The Big Disciple walked over and said. His expression had returned to normal. He finally relaxed and became even more respectful to Ye Chuan, ¡°Elder, what should we do now?¡± ¡°Advance, catch up with other loose cultivators, but be sure to never act rashly. Listen to my instruction if we encounter anything.¡± Ye Chuan instructed. ¡°Yes!¡± The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect bowed and accepted the order. Then, the Big Disciple walked in the front and led the way, following the footprints left behind by numerous loose cultivators and devils. Behind him, the other female disciple and the three male disciples followed, then was the female disciple Ye Lanqing and Ye Chuan wearing a big bamboo hat. The flames were soaring and there were terrifying magmas everywhere. If someone fell into it, even if he was Daoist Master realm exert, he would instantly be melted. This group passed through countless cracks and carefully advanced. The higher they climbed this mountain, the higher the temperature, and slowly the ground became boiling hot. Even when inhaling a breath, one would feel tingling pain in the throat. Ye Lanqing who was pampered and spoiled from childhood, although her cultivation base couldn¡¯t be considered low, she became the very first person unable to persist. While walking, she slipped and almost fell into a crack. There was red magma flowing inside the crack. Her hairpin that fell into it instantly melted. ¡°Be careful!¡± Ye Chuan had reached out his hand to pull back this female disciple who was about to fall into the magma. At this moment, smooth and slick Ye Lanqing who feared neither Heaven not Earth was so scared that her beautiful face became pale and her entire body trembled. And seeing she was so scared that her legs were soft, Ye Chuan shook his head and held her slender waist to help her walk. Leaning on the body of Ye Chuan, Ye Lanqing felt Ye Chuan¡¯s strong body and his majestic energy fluctuation, and slowly came back to her senses. Gradually, a hint of suspicion appeared in her mind. Since Ye Chuan was wearing a big bamboo hat, she was unable to see his facial features, only his voice sounded aged, but since she was so close to him, she felt that his body didn¡¯t seem to be aged like an old man. Could it be that this person is not the legendary Taishang Elder? Or, did he already recovered his youthful vigor, becoming a youth again? A doubt appeared in the heart of this female disciple Ye Lanqing, but before she had much time to think about it, the sound of fighting came from the front, and everyone quickly became nervous. Chapter 511: The calamity of fire snakes After walking a short distance, a flame valley appeared in front of everyone. In the valley, there were some fiery-red small grasses and the entire valley was filled with a special fragrance. Even from far away, Ye Chuan recognized them. They were rare Fiery Dragon Grass. Many loose cultivators and devils who had rushed in first were looting madly while coming to blows with each other. The efficacy of Fiery Dragon Grace was unique. It could be eaten directly and also could be used for refining medical pills. It was a good remedy for expelling the cold qi from one¡¯s body. Especially to heal the injuries from yin attributed techniques, it was essential. Many cultivators drag their injured body all around to look for a single root of Fiery Dragon Grass. Unfortunately, in the mainland and Overseas World, Fiery Dragon Grass was very rare and hard to find. Now however, they suddenly encountered so many Fiery Dragon Grasses in this ancient land, so people were madly vying with each other, and very quickly, people began to die. Someone was able to grab a Fiery Dragon Grass with great difficulty, but in the next moment, before he could even put it away, he suffered the joint attack of several people, thus lost his life. There were some great devils who powerful. They didn¡¯t go to personally dig out Fiery Dragon Grass, they just snatch it from other people. They were ruthless and their gain was also big. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen corpses appeared in this valley. Ye Chuan quickly stopped and led these disciples of Thunderbolt Sect to stand outside this valley and watch critically. ¡°Elder, what are those herbs, making them fight against each other?¡± The female disciple Ye Lanqing asked. The remaining disciples also looked over, quietly waiting for the answer of Ye Chuan. Although they had grown up in nearby sea area, they after all were still young, they didn¡¯t recognize many worldly treasures. So, seeing everyone was fighting a bloody battle for those herbs, they were terrified and also confused. ¡°Fiery Dragon Grass, a kind of yang attributed herb, it can be refined into Fiery Dragon Pill. It is very useful to heal damaged vitality and expel cold qi from the body. For some people, it is a poison, but for other people, it is a priceless treasure.¡± Ye Chuan replied and took a glance at these disciples with a meaningful glance. The Thunderbolt Sword Technique was violent and potent, if one swallowed a Fiery Dragon Pill refined from Fiery Dragon Grass, then one¡¯s yuan energy would become firmer and cultivation would also soar. ¡°Fiery Dragon Pill?¡± The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect exclaimed in unison with excitement. They had not seen Fiery Dragon Grass before, but Fiery Dragon Pill was very important and well-known in Thunderbolt Sect. Allegedly, in the history of Thunderbolt Sect, they once possessed many Fiery Dragon Pills to nurture the younger generation. Unfortunately, along with the decline of Thunderbolt Sect, the numbers of experts in the sect decreased generation by generation, and Fiery Dragon Pill gradually became a legend. The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect had only seen the description of Fiery Dragon Pill in the ancient books of the sect, but no one had seen it. As it turned out that those Fiery Dragon Pills were refined from these herbs! If they were able to snatch those herbs, not many, even if only ten stalks and brought them back to their sect and give them to Sect Master, then wouldn¡¯t it¡­¡­ Some disciples were unable to endure and were eager to rush out. Especially Big Disciple Big Waves, he pulled out his sword and took a step forward with dense killing intent. But, seeing Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t moved, he suppressed his impulse. At the critical moment, he remembered the instruction of Ye Chuan and didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. ¡°Elder, let¡¯ strike!¡± ¡°Yes, Elder, we should also rush over!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect eagerly requested to enter the battle. Although it was dangerous inside the valley, they thought that if they cooperated and with the addition of this legendary Taishang Elder who had already broken through to Half Sage realm several thousand years ago, it would be easy to grab some stalks of Fiery Dragon Grass. There were some loose cultivators who grabbed some stalks of Fiery Dragon Grass and ran away, if they waste any more time, then they would be too late to obtain anything. ¡°No, don¡¯t move!¡± Ye Chuan commanded. Under the big bamboo hat, his complexion as stretched taut and his glabella was twitching. He scanned all around and didn¡¯t see the figure of Qing Tianhou. There were also not many peak Daoist Master realm expert, but Ye Chuan felt danger and it was getting stronger and stronger. ¡°Kill, these Fiery Dragon Grasses are mine!¡± ¡°Hand over those Fiery Dragon Grasses or leave your life, hahaha!¡± The battle inside the valley was getting more and more intense. More and more people were killed. Only a very few numbers of people had fled after grabbing a handful of Fiery Dragon Grasses. But, many were still eager to grab more after obtaining some. The greed of people could never be satisfied. Like the entire Flame Mountain, there were big and small cracks inside the valley, and all cracks were filled with flowing and boiling magma. People were killing and fighting while dodging the cracks filled with magma. More and more people obtained Fiery Dragon Grasses, and losers fell on the ground with heavy injuries or were killed and some unfortunate ones were thrown into the magma. No one was able to climb out of the magma. There was one peak Daoist Master realm devil who accidentally fell into the magma under the joint attack of several loose cultivators. He roared angrily and forcibly climbed up, but there was nothing below his neck. Everything below his neck was melted, he died after wailing mournfully. The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect who were watching this intense fight from far away sweated profusely and secretly rejoiced that they didn¡¯t rashly join this battle. Now, although they were far away from the battle and wouldn¡¯t obtain any Fiery Dragon Grasses, they were also far away from danger. But, when these disciples were rejoicing, Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion was tightened and he became more and more solemn. He felt an indescribable danger, moreover, it was getting stronger and stronger! The glabella of Ye Chuan twitched wildly as he felt that terrifying danger was approaching. The intense battle and magma inside the valley were nothing to him, the real danger was still in the rear. Moreover, he only felt his danger, it was invisible. Were some restrictions triggered, or was it Qing Tianhou¡­¡­ Ye Chuan was uncertain in his heart, but he stood still. Finally, he closed his eyes and used his spirit to carefully sense his surroundings. Within the radius of ten li, he couldn¡¯t sense the aura of Qing Tianhou. He also couldn¡¯t sense any yao beast, but slowly, a killing intent spread in the air and the ground was shaking lightly as if some kind of yao beast was coming out from the depth of underground. Seeing Ye Chuan appeared as if he was facing a formidable enemy, the disciples of Thunderbolt Sect also became nervous. Gradually, they also sensed something unusual. Soon, the shaking of the ground became clearer and clearer. Those loose cultivators and devils who were fighting inside the valley stopped.All of them looked pale and restlessly looked all around. As the ground shook, the magma inside the cracks increasingly rose and overflowed. People hastily dodged the overflowing magma. Although there were cracks everywhere. There were some high places. They stood on it, but the following changes made everyone nervous and their heart jumped crazily. A fiery red snake popped out from the magma and rushed towards people. In addition, the sky of this valley was filled with hissing sounds. In the blink of an eye, countless snakes popped out from the magma, surrounding everyone inside the valley. These loose cultivators and devils who had come into blows for Fiery Dragon Grasses were instantly surrounded by snakes, suffering a great calamity. Chapter 512: Blaze Spiri t ¡°Quick, run quickly!¡± ¡°This is a cursed valley, run quickly!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The loose cultivators and devils inside the valley finally reached. They immediacy ran towards the exit, unfortunately, they were already too late. From inside the cracks everywhere, magma suddenly erupted out. This boiling hot bright red magma engulfed them, and even a peak Daoist Master realm expert was unable to endure and screamed. They felt unbearable pain as their skin festered and even their bone melted. Now, they could only wait for the magma to completely swallow them in fear. In the vast valley, as if a huge underground fountain, magma suddenly erupted into the sky. It looked dazzling and beautiful as if some kind of fireworks, but whoever was touched by it died. What was even more terrifying was, large and small fiery snakes flew out along with the eruption of magma, and they took advantage of this occasion to pounce on people. There were many people who had survived the erupted magma by luck, but in the next moment, they died under the attack of numerous fiery snakes. There was a very powerful devil. A dozen or so fiery snakes had bound his body, still, he was able to rush towards the exit, but just when he was about to reach the exit, a huge python suddenly sprang out from underground and biting his left leg, he was dragged into the bright red magma. After that, some bubbles appeared on the boiling hot magma and it became calm again. More and more fiery snakes jumped out from the magma. There were big and there were also small, they heavily surrounded people inside. The loose cultivators and devils who were desperately fighting against each other just a moment ago discarded their resentment and cooperated to rush towards the exit, but under the attacks of fiery snake and magma, even though they were risking their lives to rush outside, more and more people died. The temperature inside the valley steadily rose. The bright red magma seemed to have erupted out from the earth¡¯s core, making the temperature boiling hot. At an unknown time, a human-shaped flame had appeared above the tallest rock in the valley. The brighter this flame became, more magma gushed out from underground, and the fiercer the attacks of fiery snakes became. ¡°That is the blaze spirit, everything is under her control, kill her!¡± ¡°Right, let¡¯s kill her together!¡± The loose cultivators and devils who were trapped inside the valley roared loudly and rushed towards that human-shaped flame above the rock. After the news of the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan was opening spread, many loose cultivators and devils had rushed over immediately. Among them, there was no lack of old fellows who were several thousand years old or even over ten thousand years old. These old fellows were very experienced, they quickly recognized the human-shaped flame above the rock. Outside the valley, the pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk. Now, he finally understood from where that indescribable feeling of danger was coming. It was not some ancient restrictions, also not Qing Tianhou, rather was from this blaze spirit. Thirteen people turned around and hastily rushed towards the blaze spirit. Among them, there were three peak Daoist Master realm experts. Under their sudden joint attack, even a Half Sage realm expert might not be able to escape unscathed, but that blaze spirit standing on the rock remained still as if she was just a flame without life and independent consciousness. But, just when those thirteen experts reached close to that rock, this blaze spirit waved her hand. Rumble, bright red magma erupted out from all around and blocked these experts like a water screen. Immediately afterward, the ground cracked and caved in, moreover, everything around changed into the ocean of magma and numerous fiery snakes jumped out from the magma and bound these people. Ah¡­ Loud screams resounded throughout the sky as these experts died practically at the same time in the magma. The blaze spirit standing on the rock had initiated a violent attack taking advantage of the favorable weather and geography. In this Flame Mountain, regardless of boiling hot magma or terrifying fiery snakes, she could freely manipulate them as if they were her limbs. All people who had approached her only had one end, death! ¡°Run, run quickly!¡± ¡°Save me, big brother, save me¡­¡­¡± The remaining loose cultivators and devils were terrified and were even more desperate to run towards the exit. Now, everyone only had one thought, escape from this hell, the farther the better. At this moment, no one cared about Fiery Dragon Grasses in the magma, if they lose their life, then what¡¯s the use to the worldly treasures? Everyone understood this principle, but unfortunately, when they were bewitched by Fiery Dragon Grasses, they were already too late to react. The blaze spirit standing on the rock uttered a long, loud cry and countless fiery snakes poured towards the escaping people, and this valley quickly turned into a slaughterhouse, not a single one was able to escape alive from this valley. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Outside the valley, Ye Chuan instructed and turned away, leading the disciples of Thunderbolt Sect far away from this terrifying valley. With the experience of Yellow Sands Ancient City, Ye Chuan could tell that that blaze spirit was very likely to be a key point of this Great Monarch grave. If he killed her, then not only he would be teleported out, he would also obtain a treasure. And since this blaze spirit was a lot more powerful than that sand demon, the treasure sealed inside was very likely to be even more powerful, or even might be an ancient great killing weapon. Each ancient great killing weapon was no small matter, they even contain the greatest fate. Ye Chuan was also perturbed, he had come from far for this kind of great killing weapons and fortune, but, he just thought about it, he didn¡¯t dare to step forward and attack recklessly. Those thirteen experts who had rushed over were instantly killed. Although Ye Chuan had broken through to Rank 6 Daoist Master realm, he still knew perfectly well that rushing over was just courting death. He knew that the current him was not the opponent of that blaze spirit. Besides, before finding the whereabouts of Zhu Sijia and others, he was unwilling to easily leave this Great Monarch grave. Perhaps, Zhu Sijia and others were trapped in certain corner of this grave, waiting for him to come and rescue them. ¡°Quick, keep up the pace!¡± ¡°Quickly follow the elder, hurry up!¡± The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect were badly scared. They gritted their teeth and spared no effort to follow Ye Chuan. Just a moment ago, if it was not for Ye Chuan stopping them, they would have rush into that valley. Then, one could well imagine their bad end. They would have died without leaving any trace. Another long, loud cry came from behind along with hissing sounds. The blaze spirit that was standing on the rock ferociously glared at the back view of Ye Chuan¡¯s group and spat out a mouthful of vitality. And after coming into contact with air, this mouthful of vitality quickly changed into an invisible wind and vaguely evolving into a flame ball, it flew towards Ye Chuan¡¯s group wanting to burn them to death. Other than scorching hot temperature, this wind had a foul stench, clearly was poisonous. The female disciple Ye Lanqing who had fallen behind felt danger and her nerves were stretched taut. She wanted to speed up, but to her surprise, the more nervous and fearful she became, the weaker she became. Moreover, the wind encroached her clothing and began to burn her. ¡°Continue to run forward, don¡¯t stop!¡± Ye Chuan shouted and grabbing the empty void, he pulled Ye Lanqing over. And at the same, he brandished his Iron Blooded Banner. Crash, that terrifying wind was shaken back. After that, carrying the injured Ye Lanqing, he continued to run. Roar! In the valley, the blaze spirit that was standing on the rock watched the back view of Ye Chuan that was getting further. She wanted to chase, but it was already too late, so she could only roar ferociously. Chapter 513: The fire poison After running more than ten li away from that flame valley, the group of Ye Chuan stopped. Ye Chuan then put down Ye Lanqing and opening the burnt clothing on her back, he saw a large burnt area on her body. Smooth and slick Ye Langqing was already unconscious, her complexion was red and touching her forehead, one could feel that she was frighteningly hot. ¡°Qingqing, Qingqinq¡­¡­¡± The Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect, Big Waves, called out loudly. He took out a bottle of pills from his bosom and made Ye Lanqing swallow a pill. Then, he used a technique and injected his own energy into her body, wanting to help heal her injury. Unfortunately, all of his efforts were futile. The body of Ye Lanqing was getting hotter and hotter, and not only her injuries didn¡¯t turn for the better, they worsened. The remaining disciples of Thunderbolt Sect were also at loss. Since even their Big Disciple was unable to do anything, they were even more useless. The gaze of everyone suddenly turned to Ye Chuan who was standing at one side. The Big Disciple rushed over and kent, ¡°Elder, I beseech you, save Qingqing, I beseech you¡­¡­¡± ¡°Her external injuries are nothing, internal injury however is different, that is not a normal injury, rather is a fire poison, difficult, difficult!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and sighed, ¡°The human-shaped flame we encountered just a moment ago is the legendary blazing spirit, the embodiment of flame and also the most powerful congenital fire attributed yao spirit in this world. That mouthful of vitality she spat out contains deadly fire poison, and once that fire poison enters the body, it is difficult to save and also late!¡± Looking at unconscious Ye Lanqing poisoned by fire poison, Ye Chuan shook his head. The yao beast born from the worldly spiritual qi was known was congenital yao spirit. This kind of monsters was a lot more powerful than ordinary yao beasts. All of them possessed an uncommon innate technique. Blazing Spirit was the fire attributed congenital yao spirit. It could control flame yao beasts and spat out its vitality that contained deadly fire poison since birth. Once this fire poison entered the body, even a peak Daoist Master realm expert wouldn¡¯t be able to endure and they would at least lose a layer of skin even if they didn¡¯t die. Although Ye Lanqing¡¯s cultivation couldn¡¯t be considered low, it was just Rank 5 Daoist Master realm. Clearly, she was unable to resist the corrosion of fire poison and fell into an unconscious state. It would not take long before that fire poison would corrode her internal organs, and her body temperature would increase until she was burnt to a coke. ¡°Elder, I beseech you, save Qingqing, you must have a way, I beseech you!¡± Big Waves knelt in front of Ye Chuan and kowtowed him, banging his head on the ground. He didn¡¯t know what fire poison was, but he understood that his junior sister Ye Lanqing was already on the verge of death and if no one made a move to save her, then she would lose her life. ¡°We beseech Elder to show mercy!¡± The other disciples of Thunderbolt Sects also knelt down in unison. As the treasured daughter of the Sect Master, although Ye Lanqing was usually a little unruly, she had always looked after them. And now that the population of Thunderbolt Sect had declined, although they called each other apprentice brother and sister, they were in fact brought up together from childhood and they had deep feeling for each other. Now, seeing Ye Lanqing was on the verge of death, everyone shed tears and were sad. ¡°Do you all must save her?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°We must!¡± The disciples of Thunderbolt Sect answered in unison. The voice of Big Disciple Big Waves was the loudest. He loudly said, ¡°Elder, as long as Qingqing is saved, this disciple can pay any prince!¡± ¡°Blazing spirit is the embodiment of flame, her fire poison is extremely poisonous. But, it is not impossible to save this junior sister of yours, merely¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°Now, there is no suitable pill to treat her, we can only forcibly expel out the fire poison. But, to do that, I will lose a large amount of vitality and even use up the power of one hundred years. Usually, the loss of power of one hundred years is not a big deal, but this time, I break into this Lost City because of an important matter, if I use up too much vitality, then¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t finish his words, but the meaning was already clear for everyone. It was fine to save these disciples of Thunderbolt Sect at the critical moment, but using up a large amount of vitality, he had no choice but to think thrice. It was already dangerous inside Lost City. But now, there were many loose cultivators and devils to look out for. In addition, he had Qing Tianhou and State teacher Jiang Tunsheng, these two formidable opponents. In such a moment, if he use up a large amount of vitality, then how could he explore Lost City? How could he look for Zhu Sijia and others? Ye Chuan didn¡¯t mind helping these disciples of Thunderbolt Sect, but he will never make a move based on sympathy. If he helped everyone he encountered regardless of anything, then he would have already died many times. ¡°Elder, is¡­¡­, isn¡¯t there any other way?¡± Big Waves looked at Ye Chuan. He seemed to be at wits¡¯ end because he understood the meaning of Ye Chuan. Now, he didn¡¯t dare to beg, but looking at unconscious Ye Lanqing whose body was getting hotter and hotter, he searched for the glimmer of hope. ¡°I can help you control the current state of Ye Lanqing, wake her up and not let the fire poison spread further. Then, I will pass you all a technique, and according to that technique, take turns to help her slowly expel the fire poison. This process will test your patience, willpower and skill, moreover, whether you all will be able to completely cure her before leaving this Great Monarch grave or not is all upto you all. Remember, this technique is called Fire Refining Secrets. Don¡¯t easily spread it, comprehend it carefully.¡± Ye Chuan inwardly circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and these disciples of Thunderbolt Sect felt their mind shaking lightly. Then, in the next moment, a profound technique appeared in their mind. ¡°Many thanks, elder!¡± These disciples were overjoyed. They knew that Ye Chuan had passed them a powerful technique. They bowed simultaneously in gratitude. ¡°You all can cultivate anywhere, but the environment of this place is just right to cultivate Fire Refining Secrets. As for leaving this one grave one world, killing a yao beast of this grave world will teleport you all out.¡± Ye Chuan gave some directions, then picking up unconscious Ye Lanqing, he walked to one side, behind a rock. He hesitated a little, then untied the upper garment of Ye Lanqing and circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he prepared to treat her wound. It was dangerous and unfathomable inside this Great Monarch grave. Now, he couldn¡¯t completely cure Ye Lanqing as he absolutely mustn¡¯t use up too much of his vitality, but helping her control her state and stop the spreading of fire poison was possible. Not to mention anything else, he could at least help Ye Lanqing keep her life, next, after comprehending Fire Refining Secrets, Big Waves and others could take turns to forcibly expel the fire poison. This process might need a period of time, but it was better than one person using up a large amount of vitality. Since they were brought together with fate, moreover, he appreciates Big Waves, this Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect, he decided to pass this Fire Refining Secrets. For them, this technique was profound and after achieving success in cultivating it, their strength would advance by leaps and bounds, but for Ye Chuan, it was worth nothing, it was just an ordinary technique he grasped in his previous life. In this life, after he accidentally obtained Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets in God Burial Valley, he even let go of his previous life¡¯s fate technique, Heaven Concealing Secrets. As for the other techniques, they wouldn¡¯t even enter his eyes. Chapter 514: A concubine has a mind, but the husband has no intention . Ye Chuan made unconscious Ye Lanqing sit in front of him. He then gently removed her clothing, and when only the last piece of underwear was left on her body, he hesitated a bit. In terms of appearance, Ye Lanqing was not as good as Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, but compared to other women, she was good looking, was not bad. She was young and beautiful, her skin was fair and smooth, especially her twin peaks, they would overshadow many women. Now, with only a piece of underwear left, her twin peaks appeared all the more towering and firmer. It seemed as if this extremely thin underwear was already unable to hold them any longer and they were about to burst out. This made Ye Chuan had a sudden impulse to fondle them. ¡°Sin, what a sin!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and forcibly suppressed his impulse. He then reached out to take off the last piece of underwear. He intentionally restrained himself to look at those impressive twin peaks and turned Ye Lanqing around. A shocking wound appeared in front of Ye Chuan. The originally smooth and tender skin of Ye Lanqing was now filled with blood bubbles, and her skin had begun to fester. The skin around those blood bubbles was blackish red and reddish black. The bones inside were also almost burnt. The temperature around the wound was burning hot and her body emitted a burning smell. This was the sign of fire poison spreading to her internal organs. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to waste any time. He took a deep breath and circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he used a technique and placed his hands on her back, injecting his boundless pure energy. Fire Poison could burn a person to ashes, if one was not treated in time, then even if one was peak Daoist Master realm expert, one would kick the bucket. The injury of this female disciple Ye Lanqing seemed frightening, but it was still fine as she was lucky enough to have Ye Chuan at her side. This move of Ye Chuan was not to completely force out the fire poison from within her body, rather to control the fire poison within her body and stop it from spreading. After her condition was stabilized, others could slowly expel the fire poison. Naturally, it was difficult. An ordinary person absolutely couldn¡¯t control and confine fire poison once it had entered the body. Soon, beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of Ye Chuan, but he continued to circulate Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. Without the suitable pills, if one wanted to forcibly control the fire poison, then it was a great test of cultivation base and experience. As a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan was sufficiently experienced, but his current cultivation base of Rank 6 Daoist Master realm was a bit low, thus, he used up a lot of vitality. Fortunately, the pale complexion of Ye Lanqing gradually became rosy and her breathing also stabilized as the fire poison within her body was controlled. Rank 6 Daoist Master realm, it was still a bit lacking, if he had broken through to Rank 7 Daoist Master realm, then wouldn¡¯t have been so strenuous. Ye Chuan sweated profusely and he stop to take a rest. Then, he used Dragon Slaying Flying Sword to cut off the rotten flesh on the back of Ye Lanqing. Now, the fire poison within her body was already controlled, and her internal injury was also stable. He only needed to scrape bones to deal with her injuries. These rotten fleshes were already rotten to the core, if he left them behind, then not only it would be hard to recover, it would even affect the surrounding flesh and blood. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Unconscious Ye Lanqing screamed in pain and trembled. The severe pain on her back had woken her up. ¡°Don¡¯t move, hold on for a while!¡± Ye Chuan quickly pressed a few acupoints of Ye Lanqing, making her unable to struggle. He then used sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword to cut off the remaining rotten flesh. His motion was smooth and quick. At this moment, the faster the better, slowing down would just cause greater pain. Ye Lanqing calmed down for a moment, then convulsed and turning around, she screamed and bit the shoulder of Ye Chuan. The acute pain on her back made her completely lose control. A blood flowed down from the left shoulder of Ye Chuan, but Ye Lanqing bit harder and harder as painful howls often escaped her mouth. Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid as if he didn¡¯t see the injury on his left shoulder. He also didn¡¯t stop the madness of Ye Lanqing. He just continued to control his flying sword to cut off the remaining rotten flesh. And after scraping clean, he helped her stop bleeding and used her undercloth to bind up her wound. He then took out Pei Yuan Pill from his bosom and fed it to Ye Lanqing. After her bone was scrapped and her bleeding was stopped, Ye Lanqing weakly collapsed. Without Pei Yuan Pill to help her recover her strength, even of fire poison no longer spreads, she might not survive. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, wuwu¡­¡­¡± Painful groans still leaked out from the mouth of Ye Lanqing. Although her wounds were already wrapped up, she was still trembling. ¡°Well, everything is over.¡± Ye Chuan gently patted Ye Lanqing, making her calm down. After such a high intensity work, he was also a little tired as he spent a lot of vitality. Now that the condition of Ye Lanqin was stabilized, it was time to leave. ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t go, don¡¯t leave me!¡± Ye Lanqing no longer bit the shoulder of Ye Chuan, but as if she sensed something, she tightly hugged Ye Chuan. Her impressing twin peaks were stuck on the chest of Ye Chuan. ¡°Take me away, take me together with you, don¡¯t leave me, okay?¡± ¡°You should heal here first, this elder will come back soon after dealing with a small matter.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°No, you are not our Thunderbolt Sect¡¯s Elder.¡± The slender hand of Ye Lanqing entered the robe of Ye Chuan and felt about the board chest of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan had deliberated lower his voice and pretended to an old man, but although a voice could deceive people, his young body couldn¡¯t deceive others. Ye Lanqing could smell a youthful aura on Ye Chuan. He was full of youthful spirit and full of vigor and vitality, how could he be an advanced aged old man? Muddleheaded Ye Lanqing had come back to her senses at unknown time. She looked at Ye Chuan with her tearful eyes and asked, ¡°You are not our elder, noble son, tell me, who exactly are you? Take me together with you, okay?¡± Every young girl longed for love, and every young girl also had their dream lover. Originally, in this trip to Lost City, her father was unwilling to let her participate. But, she had secretly followed in. She wanted to seize this chance to take a breather outside and also experience the outside world. And two years ago, her father had expressed to his thoughts to betroth her to Big Senior Apprentice Brother Big Waves. Big Waves naturally was happy, but Ye Lanqing was unwilling. It was not that Big Waves wasn¡¯t good enough, rather he was too good. His moral character was very good and he was diligent, unfortunately, he was not her type. She liked a kind of unrestrained man who was a bit bad and also somewhat mysterious. Ye Chuan in front of her eyes just happened to that kind of man. And with her womanly instinct, now, she had already confirmed that Ye Chuan was absolutely not the legendary Taishang Elder. ¡°Qingqing girl, it seems the fire poison has burnout your brain, rest well. This elder has already grown old, as for you all young men and women, romance is in the air. Your Big Senior Brother Big Waves is very good, don¡¯t let him down.¡± Ye Chuan reached out his hand and pressed a few acupoints of Ye Lanqing, then the latter fell unconsciousness and weakly collapsed in his arms. A concubine has a mind, but the husband has no intention. Ye Lanqing was pretty and her impressive twin peaks gave him a deep impression, unfortunately, there were already Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, junior sister Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao in his heart. In this lifetime, he was unwilling to incur more affection. He placed Ye Lanqing on the ground and left after covering her with a robe. Chapter 515: Blaze Shield Sorry, content is lost, You are reading Novel on Novelhall.COM, we will fix it as soon as possible, thank you Chapter 516: A sarcophagus restriction Along with the continuous splashing sounds, the boiling hot magma sprayed out again and again. More and more loose cultivators and devils rushed over upon hearing the news and gathered at the summit. They stared at the crater without even blinking their eyes, waiting for a treasure to come out. The summit was getting more and more crowded. The loose cultivators and devil who had come later would squeeze forward in fear that they would fall at the back and return empty-handed. The result, before a treasure had appeared, many people were already fighting just for a good location. The final winner was either overwhelming group of people who had a secret agreement to cooperate, or great devils who killed people like flies. When practically everyone was squeezing forward, Ye Chuan however had retreated ten meters away. He was watching everything while hiding far away. With so many experts gathered here, now the battle was even more ruthless. Those who rush forward would die quickly. Ye Chuan was very cautious, with Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, these two heaven-defying experts, hanging over his head like a blade which could fall at any time, he had no choice but to be very alert. Rumble, a treasure along with magma erupted out from underground. This time, a blaze arm guard had appeared in front of people. It sunk and rose on the magma. ¡°Haha, a blaze arm guard, this is also mine, everything is mine, the set of blaze suit is mine, hahaha!¡± That cyan robed old devil holding a sickle roared with laughter and charged forward. After the blaze shield, he wanted to snatch this blaze arm guard too. All the things that were found in this grave of Great Monarch were not ordinary items. Just a blaze shield or a blaze arm guard, their power was extraordinary. If one could collect the entire set of blaze suit, then one¡¯s fighting power would definitely advance by leaps and bounds. According to the legend, once one collected the entire sect of blaze suit, one could dominate the embodiment of flame, and even could easily crush blaze spirit. Many impatient loose cultivators and devils also quickly made a move. Although the cyan robe old devil holding a sickle was powerful, no one would easily give up such a precious treasure. A fierce battle broke out. Screams after screams resounded as many loose cultivators and devils fell. Often, some retreated after getting injured, but even more were thrown into the boiling magma. And at the same time, the earthquake and the eruption of magma got more violent. Even some people who were just clustering around without stepping forward to fight for the treasure were engulfed by the magma falling from the sky. Even just a splash of a few drops of magma would make people feel tingling pain. As for Ye Chuan, he swayed and dodged the splash of magma, and looking at this tragic battle, his complexion was stretched taut. Even after so long, he didn¡¯t find any trace of Zhu Sijia and others. Slowly, he began to get worried. This place was already the summit of Flame Mountain, and ancient treasures were being sprayed out from the crater in succession. If Zhu Sijia and others had come here, then it was impossible that there was no news of them. Since he couldn¡¯t find any traces, there were only two explanations, either they encountered a powerful enemy and were delayed there, or they didn¡¯t break into this grave of Great Monarch! Thinking about arrogant Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng who similarly had no trace, Ye Chuan was worried. If Zhu Sijia and others had unfortunately met those two heaven-defying experts, then perhaps no one could escape unless they had already met Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Plague Archfiend Abasi. After the fierce and tragic battle, the blaze arm guard fell in the hands of another devil. This devil had a distinctive weapon in his hand which resembled a broom or a comb. There were many barbs at one end which would tear the flesh of his opponent. After fighting several rounds, the cyan robed old devil holding a sickle didn¡¯t dare to rush again. With so many loose cultivators and devils gathered here, the fight was ferocious and unpredictable. As for Ye Chuan, he just watched secretly and became even more cautious. He looked around to find any traces of Zhu Sijia and others, but he could see nothing, therefore, he was unable to control himself and crushed several message talismans. If Zhu Sijia and others were in this grave of Great Monarch, then they would definitely sense the fluctuation of these message talismans. After a slight pause, even more magma gushed out from the crater and the earthquake became even more intense. And after a rumbling sound, another treasure appeared in the midst of the magma. That was a fiery red battle armor. But, unlike previous two, this battle armor was sealed inside a sarcophagus. No one knew what kind of stone was used to forge it, but even in the midst of this boiling hot magma, it was fine. ¡°That is blaze battle armor, it¡¯s mine!¡± ¡°Old devil, you are not satisfied with just blaze shield, do you truly think that everyone else is air?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­. The loose cultivators and devils who were waiting for a long time rushed over again and began to fight violently. This blaze battle armor was clearly superior to the previous blaze shield and blaze arm guard. Once it was refined and worn, not to speak anything else, they would at least not need to fear this scorching hot magma and directly seize even more treasures in this magma. On the summit, a new round of fierce battle began. This time, even more people participated. The blaze battle armor sealed inside the sarcophagus emitted boundless energy fluctuation, and vibrated along with the entire sarcophagus while circling all around the sky, passing through the pillars of boiling hot magma. It appeared as if it wanted to break off a restriction binging it and fly away. On several occasion, some people clearly had successfully seized the sarcophagus, but before they could put it away, the sarcophagus would slip out of their hands and fly away. In the end, after the fierce battle and chase, that cyan robed old devil holding a sickle grabbed it. ¡°Hahaha, second treasure, this blaze battle armor is mine!¡± The cyan robed old devil roared with laughter, then he reached out his hand inside the sarcophagus to grab the sealed blaze battle armor. But, while people were still hearing his laughter, a terrifying scene appeared in front of everyone. When the fingertip of that cyan robed old devil touched the blaze battle armor, his body suddenly trembled as if he was electrocuted, then, he was absorbed into the sarcophagus. After that, the heavy sarcophagus flew out again, rushing into the boiling hot magma and finally sink into the crater. ¡°No¡­¡­¡± In the sarcophagus, the cyan robed old devil struggled while screaming, but after a moment, he was dragged into the magma of the crater and disappeared. The people around the crater stopped and sweated profusely. Treasures were being sprayed out from below this crater, but it could also swallow back the treasures, what was that restriction? After witnessing a terrifying scene, everyone was shocked. This was not some hidden treasures, rather was a trap. The more powerful a treasure, the harder to obtain it, in addition, the slightest bit of carelessness would lead to death! People came back to their senses and began pale. Some people wisely retreated to one side, but there were still many loose cultivators and devil standing beside the crater. They were unwilling to give up easily, but they clearly looked serious. Next, what treasure would be sprayed out? What kind of restriction would it have? Looking at the crater which often sprayed out magma, people were full of expectation but were also nervous at the same time. Far away, Ye Chuan who was hiding behind the rock was also shocked and reassessed the restrictions of this Great Monarch¡¯s grave. Chapter 517: Unstoppable People didn¡¯t have to wait long. After a violent shaking of the ground, a large amount of magma gushed out along with a treasure. This time, three pieces of treasures were sprayed out at the same time. An unknown pill, a cloak and a spear, all of them were fiery red in color and were sealed inside three different sarcophagi. Ancient treasures, three at the same time! The loose cultivators and devils who were gathered at the summit were excited. Their eyes burned with enthusiasm again. Soon, someone had already taken the initiative to rush forward. The scene of that cyan robed old devil trapped in the sarcophagus had made everyone shudder, but no one could endure the temptation upon seeing three treasures at the same time. The old devil Outlying Islands Sanren was practically the first person to rush forward. His target was only one, it was that unknown fiery red pill sealed inside a sarcophagus. After the cultivation of Ancient Avatar Technique went astray, the thing he feared the most was qi deviation. Now, in his eyes, the value of a medicinal pill was far above other treasures. Regardless of whether this pill could resolve his condition, he had to seize it first! Behind the rock, Ye Chuan also stood up. He was eager to give it a try. Since he had entered this grave, he had always been careful, not daring to act rashly, but looking at those three ancient treasures hovering in the air, moreover, feeling the energy fluctuation coming from those sarcophagi, he couldn¡¯t help getting excited. But, just when he was about to fly out, his heart jumped as he felt danger. Shortly afterward, a familiar aura came from far away and a whistling sound could be heard. Qing Tianhou? The heart of Ye Chuan shook and he subconsciously squatted again. Then, looking back, he saw a tall figure flying over. He had a sharp and long halberd in his hand. His dense killing intent, suppressed people with invisible pressure. He was none other than Qing Tianhou. At that time, another whistling sound came from the other side of the Flame Mountain, accompanied by another great pressure. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng and Qing Tianhou had arrived at the same time along with powerful momentum. All the loose cultivators and devils here simultaneously trembled. The arrival of these two super experts brought unprecedented pressure. No matter how powerful the loose cultivators and devils were, they couldn¡¯t help trembling in fear. The three treasures were still hovering in the air, although they were sealed inside sarcophagi, their powerful energy fluctuation had spread all around. At that time, a sarcophagus with fiery red cloak sealed inside just happened to fly past that old devil with a distinctive weapon. That old devil hesitated for a bit and gritting his teeth, he courageously stepped forward, wanting to grab this treasure. With an ancient treasure floating right in front of his eyes, who could endure such temptation? This old devil had already obtained the blaze arm guard, but like that cyan robed old devil who was trapped in the sarcophagus, he was also not satisfied with only one. ¡°All the treasures here is this Lord Hou¡¯s, old fellow, before you have any thoughts about this cloak, did you ask this Lord Hou?¡± Qing Tianhou coldly looked at this old devil and grabbing the empty void from far away, he actually seized this sarcophagus. This old devil trembled. He knew full well that he was not the opponent of Qing Tianhou and wisely retreated. Unfortunately, although he gave up, Qing Tianhou didn¡¯t let this matter drop. This old devil only saw a hint of white light and a chilling blade light was already right in front of him. This blade light was very fast and ferocious, he hastily raised the broom and also a comb-like distinctive weapon to block. Clang, a metal colliding sound resounded, and this old devil who was killing all around trembled, then the distinctive weapon in his hand along with his body was cut into two. That arm guard he had snatched with great difficulty also fall from his body. Qing Tianhou then grabbed it and put it away after taking a quick look, then using some strength, he tapped the sarcophagus in his hand. The sarcophagus that didn¡¯t even melt in magma changed into dust, and a majestic energy fluctuation suddenly gave rise to a strong wind. The loose cultivators and devils standing around shook and they were unable to stand properly. But Qing Tianhou was absolutely still, he reached out his big hand and grabbed this blaze cloak sealed inside the sarcophagus, then spitting out a mouthful of vitality, he refined this blaze cloak on the spot and wore it. Instantly after that, a red light circulated around his body and he vaguely seemed to have transformed into a blaze spirit, the embodiment of flame. With one move, Qing Tianhou had forcibly crushed the restriction of the sarcophagus which had even killed that cyan robed old devil who was peak Daoist Master realm expert. In addition, just after arriving at the summit, he made a move and killed one old devil and seized the blaze cloak, displaying his heaven-defying cultivation base. On the summit, the complexion of people simultaneously changed, seeing the ferociousness of Qing Tianhou again. Behind the rock, Ye Chuan was also greatly shocked. The restriction of the sarcophagus, he was sure that he would be able to break it, but it was difficult to forcibly crush it like Qing Tianhou. The action of Qing Tianhou seemed simple on the surface, but his technique was extraordinary. Behind his powerful strength, he also had extraordinary knowledge. ¡°Lord Hou, your cultivation is even more consummate now, congratulations, I will kindly accept this pill and spear.¡± On the other side, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng faintly smiled, then raising the Emperor¡¯s Bow, he shot two times and the other two sarcophagi explode. He then grabbed the void, pulling those fiery red pill and spear, and put them away. He was not any inferior to overbearing Qing Tianhou! Powerful! The complexion of Ye Chuan changed and his pupils shrunk. After his reincarnation, Qing Tianhou was the strongest opponent he met so far. The only one who was comparable to him was Jiang Tunsheng, this State Teacher of Da Qin Dynasty. Although White Haired Empress of Heavenly Yao Sect, Zhao Tianbi, was also very powerful, compared to Qing Tianhou, she was slightly inferior. ¡°What? Your Excellency State Teacher, do you want to fight for another three hundred rounds again?¡± Qing Tianhou raised the sharp halberd and pointed at Jiang Tunsheng¡¯s throat. He was emitting dense killing intent without any expression. ¡°Fight ten fight, Qing Tianhou, do you think this lordship fears you?¡± Jiang Tunsheng sneered and the Emperor¡¯s bow in his hand shone with pallid light. He then added, ¡°But, if we fight again, I fear that that old fox, patriarch of Sea Demon Clan, will take advantage of our battle to lead us by the nose and secretly find the real Lost City. At that time, once he obtained the ancient holy item of Sea Demon Clan, in this racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, both you and I will have a hard time, avoiding the dangers!¡± ¡°Humph, not necessarily!¡± Qing Tianhou coldly snorted, but he didn¡¯t move. Clearly, he didn¡¯t want to fight Jiang Tunsheng at this moment. Now far away, Ye Chuan who was hiding behind the rock was overjoyed hearing the news. Hearing the words of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, he knew that they had clearly not encountered Zhu Sijia and others. Or perhaps, they had encountered them, but Sea Demon Patriarch and others narrowly slipped away. Ye Chuan who had been worried finally relaxed a little and watched the changed calmly. The ground shook even more violently as if the entire Flame Mountain was about to explode and cave in, and a large amount of magma continued to gush out from the crater. Ye Chuan wanted to see what kind of treasure would be sprayed out next. Chapter 518: Great Monarch World Everyone opened their eyes wide, waiting for more treasures to spurt out. But, even after waiting for a while, the ground just swayed more and more violently, but no treasures could be seen. Even the amount of magma being spurt out became lesser and lesser, as if the magma underground was already exhausted. But, at the same time, ear piercing whistling sounds came from underground. Those sounds were similar to the sounds of flying swords when they flew at full speed. On top of the mountain, everyone was very alert and tense. This temporary calm was the prelude of even more violent storms. The loose cultivators and devils who had experienced many stormy waves understood this point. But, what they didn¡¯t understand was, what kind of restriction was underground? What kind of treasures will be spurt out next? And what kind of danger would they meet? The longer they waited, the more nervous they became. Even these two unstoppable super experts, Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, hand a hint of solemnness. Qing Tianhou was very eager, his eyes never left the magma inside the crater as if he was ready to jump straight into it to explore deep inside and collect all treasures. But after thinking again and again, he didn¡¯t dare to take action. When all was said and done, this was a grave of a Great Monarch, and deep inside, there were ancient restrictions laid down by Blue Waves Great Monarch before his death. Although his cultivation was heaven-defying and far surpassed ordinary Sage realm experts, Qing Tian also didn¡¯t dare to be careless here. Jiang Tunsheng standing on the opposite side of this crater also clearly had misgivings. Although the Emperor Bow in his hand was powerful, it was also not unequaled. Even he might be trapped if he encountered a truly heaven-defying restriction. The two super experts didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. Ye Chuan naturally will also not act rashly. He lowered the big bamboo hat he was wearing and restrained his energy fluctuation and aura, hiding behind a rock. Occasionally, some people would see his figure, but they just thought that he was a cowardly loose cultivator and ignored him. Ye Chuan was staying still, but his divine sense was slowly spreading. First, he scanned the surrounding topography, then, counted the numbers of loose cultivators and devils here as well as their cultivation base. Finally, his divine sense passed Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng and entered the crater, exploring the mystery below the magma. After the war in Bellowing Waves Island, the spirit of Ye Chuan had yet to completely recover, so he was very cautious. Slowly, the mystery below the magma appeared in his mind. There was a huge cave underground. The Flame Mountain practically had a boiling hot magma inside. IN a sense, this Flame Mountain was a huge bottle, the crater was small bottle mouth, and inside the bottle, there was no water, rather boiling hot magma that could instantly melt flesh and bones. If this bottle suddenly explodes, then what would happen? Ye Chuan suddenly thought of a situation and shuddered. But, he continued to send his divine sense further down and he was all the more shocked. The underground cave was filled with boiling hot magma, but there were sarcophagi hung on the walls all around. No one knew what stone was used to forge these sarcophagi, but even after existing in the boiling hot magma for millions of years, there was not a single damage. And after carefully sensing them, he discovered that many profound and mysterious ancient runes were carved on those sarcophagi. The deeper the location, the older the sarcophagi and lesser ancient runes were carved on them but they were also more profound and difficult to comprehend. It appeared as if these sarcophagi were not sealed in the same period of time, rather were sealed in different time periods. The runes on the sarcophagi were equivalent to some kind of marks, the lesser runes implied they were sealed in an earlier time period. There was a treasure sealed in every sarcophagus, and with so many sarcophagi, how many treasures were sealed in this underground cave? In the deepest part of this cave, what kind of sarcophagi and treasures were sealed in the earliest time period? Ye Chuan¡¯s heart shook, but he urged his divine sense to continue spreading downward. Roughly ten meters underground, there were sarcophagi everywhere on the walls; then 50 meters underground, there was no big change in the circumstances; but roughly after 70 meters, the circumstances began to change. Sarcophagi were still hung on the walls, but there were blaze spirit statues around them. Could it be that these blaze spirits are the guardian of these sarcophagi? Are they guarding the treasures and restrictions here? Recalling the blaze spirit that had appeared in that flame valley, Ye Chuan had a thought. He then carefully spread his divine sense towards those blaze spirits, wanting to sense the circumstances. The result, when his divine sense was still 3 meters away, he suddenly felt something was wrong. An invisible energy surged and a blaze spirit beside a sarcophagus suddenly opened her eyes. Ye Chuan exclaimed and retracted his divine sense at the fastest speed from this underground cave. Along with muffled groans, the loose cultivators and devils gathered here on the summit became pale in succession. Their spirit was injured. Some people even bled from the corner of their mouth and eyes. That was the sign of their spirit suffering a serious injury. When Ye Chuan was exploring the underground world with his divine sense, numerous loose cultivators and devils were also doing similar things. Everyone was puzzled and wondered what kind of treasures were sealed underground. The result, those who had low cultivation base, their divine sense only reached 10 or 20 meters deep, and were only able to sense numerous sarcophagi hung on the underground cave; those who had a bit stronger cultivation base were able to spread their divine sense to more than 70 meters, and like Ye Chuan, they suffered the invisible attack, but, only a few were able to sense something was wrong and escape unscathed like Ye Chuan. Not everyone was so lucky. The exploration of the underground world quickly displayed the gap in the cultivation base of everyone. Ye Chuan took a quick look around and memorized loose cultivators and devils who posed a threat to him. There were not many of them, roughly twenty or thirty, and most of them were peak Daoist Master realm experts. Only a handful of them were Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts. In addition, without exception, all of them had a distinctive fate technique or protective treasures. But, truly powerful experts were still Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng. When others were forced to retreat under the invisible attack, these two super experts were still standing still with their eyes closed. They continued to spread their divine sense downward, 80 meters, 90 meters, 100 meters¡­¡­ These two super experts displayed their techniques and explored this dangerous underground world to their heart¡¯s content as if no one else were present. They wanted to find all the mysteries of the underground world. A competition between experts doesn¡¯t necessary need to be a life and death battle, any move anywhere can be a competition. Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng were exploring the mysteries of the underworld world, but at the same time, they were also competing against each other. They wanted to see who can last longer and who would be the first to explore all mysteries. For the experts of their realm, wherever their divine sense goes, it was their sphere of influences. Once the oldest sarcophagus was found, they would retract their divine sense and enter the magma to capture the treasure sealed inside that sarcophagus. That treasure would very likely be the most precious treasure of this Great Monarch grave and it might also contain the essence energy and technique of Sea Waves Great Monarch. And whoever obtains it, he would inherit the legacy of this Great Monarch! Chapter 519: Stick to one’s old way The ground continued to shake and the time passed second by second. The complexion of loose cultivators and devils gathered at the summit was stretched taut with their gaze fixed on the two super experts, Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng. Almost half an hour had already passed, but these two super experts were still standing still with closed eyes. They were still urging their divine sense to explore the cave world underground. After half an hour, no one knew where and how deep their divine sense had reached. The people were shocked and found it hard to imagine. The higher the cultivation base, the deeper the understanding of how powerful these two super experts were. Ye Chuan was also solemn, reexamining the strength of these two powerful opponents. Although they were still Half Sage realm experts, they were endowed by nature, even if they were placed in the Wilderness World of millions of years ago, they would still be heaven-defying experts! They were already so powerful in Half Sage realm, if they break through to Sage realm, then they would definitely become Great Sage experts that would be famous through the ages. If there were such strong opponents in the past, then he might not have set foot on the throne of Heaven Concealing Great Sage! The eyes of Ye Chuan blaze like touches. Watching the tall and straight figures of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, his desire for strength became incomparably stronger. Having two such opponents was a great misfortune. Slightest bit of carelessness would be enough to easily cause death. But, on the other hand, this could also be considered a great fortune. The cultivation was the past of defying heaven. In the later stages, the progress would be slower and slower, and evenly matched opponents would also become fewer and fewer. Someday, one might even reach the lonely peak, so with heaven-defying opponents, one would continuously struggle hard and reach even higher peak! I want to break through to rank 7 Daoist Master realm! I want to condense more Heaven Swallowing Talismans! I want to swallow the heaven! Ye Chuan was stilling still, but he was roaring in his heart. Looking at the valorous figures of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, he yearned for breakthroughs, yearned for even stronger and ferocious strength. If a formidable opponent stands in the way, then he wanted to forcibly open up a bloody path or die trying. The blood of Ye Chuan was seething. Now, the desire for strength was strong like never before. Only after a while, the seething blood and qi slowly calmed down. But, his eyes were cold without a hint of emotional fluctuation. He was staying absolutely still, but Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body were circulating rapidly as he prepared to make a move. To make a breakthrough, not only one needed to make great efforts, one also needed sufficient lucky chance. Without a lucky chance, even if one cultivated for thousands of years, it would be useless. The treasures sealed inside the cave below the crater was the lucky chance for Ye Chuan. Capturing and refining the treasures sprayed out from the crater might make him breakthrough to Rank 7 Daoist Master realm and even might let him condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. If he was able to obtain the inheritance of this Blue Sea Great Monarch, then the benefits would be unimaginable. He might breakthrough to peak Daoist Master realm, or might even breakthrough to Half Sage realm. At that time, he would be able to display many of his former techniques and means to their fullest strength, and at that time, he could also truly look for the formidable enemies of his former life for revenge! This world was full of temptation, all along the way, Ye Chuan had experienced sorrow and also joy, but he had never forgotten the determination he made when he had just broken out of God Burial Valley. In his previous life, he had cultivated Heaven Concealing Secrets and reached the peak of perfection, concealing the heaven of Wilderness World, in this life, he however was cultivating even more powerful Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, and he wanted to create even greater brilliance and swallow the heaven! The towering Flame Mountain suddenly swayed intensely like an earthquake. Qing Tianhou who had been standing still suddenly frowned and shouted loudly, using a profound technique. The swaying of the ground became even more intense, and along with a thunderous noise, magma erupted out, followed by a cyan sarcophagus. Qing Tianhou grabbed the empty void and pulled the cyan sarcophagus over. He then broke the sarcophagus and a light cyan colored flame appeared on his palm. He sized it up for a bit and opening his mouth, he swallowed it. Instantly, he emitted red light from all over his body as if his entire body was burning, and his terrifying energy fluctuation rose successively as he made progress in his cultivation. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, wonderful, the treasures of this Great Monarch grave are truly wonderful, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou roared with laughter and used his technique again. After a loud rumbling sound, another cyan sarcophagus was dragged out from the depth of underground. Soon, he swallowed the second light cyan colored flame and his energy fluctuation rose further. The sarcophagi that were spurted out from the crater in the past were grayish white in color, now, the sarcophagi that were being forcibly dragged out by Qing Tianhou were cyan in color. Just one look and one could know that they were not ordinary. The light cyan colored flame sealed inside those sarcophagi looked frightening, but they were in fact the condensed worldly spirit qi. Refining each one of them was equivalent to cultivating at least 800 years! ¡°Is the origin energy of Sea Demon Clan sealed here?¡± Jiang Tunsheng who was standing on the opposite side also used a technique and like Qing Tianhou, he also forcibly dragged out sarcophagus sealed deep underground. And after breaking the restriction, he swallowed the flame sealed inside and his energy fluctuation also rose successively. The dangerous the place, the bigger the fortune! Deep underground where the divine sense of many loose cultivators and devils couldn¡¯t reach, the true treasures of this Great Monarch grave were sealed. Only Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, these two super experts had the ability to seize them. As for other people, they could only look on while drooling. Ye Chuan was also the same. Even if he had a great technique, without sufficiently strong cultivation base, he couldn¡¯t use them to their full extent and now, he could only sit at one side, looking helplessly. The shaking of the ground suddenly intensified, the people were almost unable to stand properly. A large amount of magma erupted out and splashed all over like flood. Those loose cultivation and devils who didn¡¯t have time to dodge were injured seriously. Some people were unable to retreat in time and the bright red magma instantly reached their knees. They immediately jumped to the sky, but discovered that everything below their knees was already melted. Outlying Islands Sanren had moved fast, but a few drops of magma had splashed on his body. He felt so much pain that he trembled, nearly making him unable to completely dodge the magma. Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tiansheng, the harvest of these two super experts were amazing. The used their great technique to seize the treasures sealed deep underground in succession, but they had also triggered the restrictions in the depths of this Great Monarch grave. The magma of underground cave churned and erupted out. The entire Flame Mountain appeared as if it was about to explode. Those loose cultivators who had broken in without sufficient strength were out of luck. Not only they were unable to obtain any treasure, they were also the first one to be affected by the activation of this restriction. ¡°Hahaha, Your Excellency State Teacher, you are too slow. If this goes on, then this Lord Hou will be able to seize even more origin energy and breakthrough to Sage realm. When that time comes, don¡¯t blame this Lord Hou for being ruthless, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou roared with laughter. Not only he didn¡¯t stop, he even sped up to seize the condensed worldly spirit qi. The boiling hot magma made loose cultivators and devils pour out endless grievances, but he didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid even when a large amount of magma fell onto him. ¡°Qing Tianhou, you are thinking too much, is it so easy to breakthrough to Sage realm? You will definitely fall behind me!¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was calm and unhurried, but his treasures seizing speed was not any inferior to Qing Tianhou. More and more loose cultivators and devils died under the hot magma, but these two super experts were sticking on their old way to seize all the treasures deep underground! Chapter 520: The best opportunity A loud sound of explosion resounded in the underground cave, and when it was transmitted above the ground, it turned it a rumbling sound. The ground swayed even more violently and a large amount of magma continuously erupted out. But, Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng didn¡¯t stop seizing the treasures. Their cultivation was also soaring, reaching the amazing heights! After a loud rumbling sound, under the great techniques of these two experts, two sarcophagi sprang out from inside the magma. But, just when the two of them were pulling their respective sarcophagi, along with after violent shaking, a loud rumbling sound resounded, and more than ten sarcophagi were spurted out from the magma. These sarcophagi were greyish white in color. Their quality was far inferior to those cyan colored sarcophagi dragged out from deep underground. Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng were not interested in them. But, the eyes of many loose cultivators and devils shone. After a slight hesitation, upon seeing two super experts didn¡¯t seem to be interested in them, they quickly rushed over and vied for those sarcophagi. On the summit, another fight broke out. This time, it was even more chaotic. Since more than dozens of treasures had sprung out, just seizing one or two would be a great harvest. And after refining them, their strength would definitely soar. Who could endure such temptation? Almost all loose cultivators and devils gathered here on the summit had rushed up. Even Outlying Islands Sanren who originally just wanted to seize a pill also was no exception. There was no one in the world who would discard a treasure in front of their eyes. The only exception was Ye Chuan who was still hiding behind a rock. Looking at more than a dozen treasures flying in the sky, Ye Chuan was also tempted. His blood and qi sheeted with excitement, but looking at Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, he felt danger as if two sharp blades were hanging above his head, so he forcibly suppressed his impulse to rush out and continued to wait. The more chaotic the battle, the easier it was to fish in the muddled waters. In addition, it would also not be easy for Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng to recognize him. In order to seize a treasure, the people were fighting chaotically, but this amount of chaos was not enough for Ye Chuan. The time was not right yet. The true hunters know how to hide and wait, and attack at a critical moment. Now, Ye Chuan was a hunter, quietly waiting patiently for the most opportune moment. The dozens of sarcophagi flew chaotically all around in a limited space as if they were trapped by an invisible barrier. But, the loose cultivators and devils that were vying for these treasures were fighting more and more intensely, and this summit was getting more and more chaotic. Some people were able to grab a sarcophagus, but before they had time to take a closer look, it would be snatched by other people; some people were very ferocious, forcibly making all loose cultivators and devils around him retreat, and firmly grabbing a sarcophagus, they would run away without even looking what was sealed inside; some people were unlucky, they were accidentally sucked into the sarcophagi and sunk into the magma along with those sarcophagi. In the end, they didn¡¯t obtain any treasure and also lose their life. Now, Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng were not interested in ordinary treasures. They especially seized cyan colored sarcophagi. But, even without the obstruction of these two super experts, it was not easy to seize the treasures. On the contrary, while fighting for treasures, they would get in the way of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng. Fortunately, these two super experts were occupied, competing with each other in seizing treasures, otherwise, many loose cultivators and devils would have lost their lives. The eyes of Ye Chuan who was hiding behind the rock were blazing like torches, and the energy fluctuation within his body was riding as he prepared to make a move. The reaction of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng made him see the opening. He could rush out and seize one or two treasures taking this chance when these two experts were not paying attention. If he was lucky, then he might be able to obtain a powerful treasure, and smoothly make a breakthrough after refining. But, he still suppressed the impulse in his heart and patiently continued to wait. The ground shook again and again, and magma erupted out from the crater. Even before all the treasures spurted out were seized by people, another batch of treasures were spurted out. This time, other than ordinary greyish white sarcophagi, there were three cyan sarcophagi. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou was somewhat surprised, but he quickly moved. The halberd in his hand shone with pallid light and chopped a devil into two halves and grabbing the empty void, he pulled a cyan sarcophagus. After breaking it, a green flying sword appeared on his palm. He immediately spat out a mouthful of vitality and refined it. Then, a fierce killing intent spread all around, beheading several loose cultivators within the radius of three meters. Perhaps, the restriction had weakened, or perhaps, there were some changes, the treasures sealed deep underground were spurted out. And seeing how powerful the flying sword in the hands of Qing Tianhou was, people crazily stepped forward and rushed towards the remaining cyan colored sarcophagus in succession. Although they were drooling with envy, no one dared to even have a thought of fighting Qing Tianhou for that flying sword, they could only try their best to compete for the treasures inside the remaining two cyan sarcophagi. ¡°All the cyan sarcophagi are this Lord Hou¡¯s, who dares to snatch the things of this Lord Hou!¡± Qing Tianhou coldly snorted and rushed forward. Instantly, within the radius of several meters, ice-cold blade light wreak havoc. And along with screams, more than ten experts fell. Those who were nearest to those cyan sarcophagi died faster. The loose cultivators and devils who were rushing forward with excitement instantly turned pale and simultaneously stopped their steps. Overbearing, cruel, ruthless! Once Qing Tianhou made a move, many died. He wanted to forcibly snatch all high-grade treasures. But, no one dared to vie with him for these treasures. ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s good, scram, don¡¯t block this Lord Hou!¡± Qing Tianhou roared with laughter, but when he was about to seize those two cyan sarcophagi, the ground suddenly shook and along with a rumbling sound, boiling hot magma erupted out like a flood. In addition, over a hundred sarcophagi were spurted out. Just cyan sarcophaguses numbered more than ten. And at the same time, over a hundred blaze spirits statues were also spurted out from deep underground. And after coming into contact with outside air, those statues emitted red light and suddenly opened their eyes. Next, they began to massacre crazily. Several devils and loose cultivators didn¡¯t have time to dodge and were instantly burned into ashes by these blaze spirits. Qing Tianhou with great momentum instantly attracted blaze spirits the most. More than a dozen blade spirit rushed towards him. After the battle, all those blaze spirits were killed, but Qing Tianhou was also injured. His battle robe was burnt in numerous places. Now, he was no longer clam like before. But, before he had time to take a breather, more than a dozen of blaze spirits rushed towards him again. The grades of treasures spurted out from underground were getting higher and higher, but the danger had also increased sharply. Now, the summit was completely chaotic. Even Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng were able to escape unscathed. They suffered the attacks of numerous blade spirits. Seeing these two were struggling to defend themselves, some daring devils secretly schemed to kill these two experts and seize the treasure they gathered In the past, these devils didn¡¯t dare to have any thoughts on these two super experts because they could do nothing due to their heaven-defying cultivation base. But, not the chance had appeared, their moves were especially ferocious. What about Half Sage realm expert? For seizing rare ancient treasures, everyone was ready to risk everything. The blaze spirits were already ferocious enough, but after their death, not only would a treasure drop, even a time and space gate leading outside the grave would appear. But, with numerous treasures in front of them, fewer and fewer people decisively left. Ye Chuan who was patiently waiting behind the rock for the opportune moment suddenly stood up and taking a deep breath, he rushed towards a greyish white sarcophagus. He wasn¡¯t targeting a high grade, taking advantage of the time when Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng were busy fighting for cyan sarcophagi against numerous devils and loose cultivators, he wanted to grab one or two treasures first. Any treasure sealed inside this Great Monarch grave was extraordinary even if it was sealed inside the most common sarcophagus. After waiting for so long, this was the opportune moment he was waiting for! Ye Chuan¡¯s speed was very fast, he headed straight towards the target in the midst of the crowd. When Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng were busy dealing with others, it was the best opportunity for him to seize some treasures! Chapter 521: Innate strength In the midst of boiling hot magma, sarcophagi were fluttering all around, causing people to chase them and fight against each other. If they were careless, then boiling hot magma would splash on them and their flesh would melt, leaving behind only eerie bones, and shortly afterward, even the bones would also be melted. After the emergence of those blaze spirits, the situation at the summit had become more dangerous and more chaotic. The eyes of Ye Chuan were blazing like torches. His speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow like a fluttering leaf. He dodged all magma, chasing after a sarcophagus. This was a greyish white sarcophagus. The treasure sealed inside couldn¡¯t be seen clearly, but from the appearance of the sarcophagus, it was certain to be an ancient treasure. After cyan colored sarcophagi were spurted out from underground, truly powerful devils and loose cultivators chase them, so Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have a hard time. The majority of cultivators that were contending against him were Rank 7 Daoist master realm. But, they were not Ye Chuan¡¯s opponent after he had broken through to Rank 6 Daoist Master realm and condensed the tenth Heaven Swallowing Talisman. He swayed left and right, and rushed forward, passing magma pillars, instantly reached close to a sarcophagus. ¡°This sarcophagus is this lordship¡¯s, scram!¡± A tall bald loose cultivator rushed up from one side and ruthlessly smashed his hammer towards the head of Ye Chuan. His speed was a bit slower and had fallen behind Ye Chuan, so unwilling to helplessly watch Ye Chuan snatch this sarcophagus, he immediately made a deadly move. Ye Chuan suddenly turned around and no one saw what treasure he used, but a sound of collision resounded. Kacha, this overbearing bald loose cultivator¡¯s rib were broken. The strength behind the attack of Ye Chuan was beyond his expectation. In an instant, this bald loose cultivator felt as if he was not hit by a person, rather was smashed by ancient battle behemoth, or to say, he was slammed by a huge mountain. He was unable to endure this attack and exploded. Just before he died, he saw Ye Chuan smoothly grabbing his hammer. ¡°This warhammer is not bad, it¡¯s a bit lighter, but thanks anyway!¡± Ye Chuan coldly glanced at this ignorant bald loose cultivator and flew towards the nearby sarcophagus. He didn¡¯t want to kill people so as to avoid attracting the attention of Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. But, if someone didn¡¯t have eyes and was courting death, then he also wouldn¡¯t be lenient. Bang, Ye Chuan raised this warhammer that was nearly 50,000 jin in weight and smashed down. In his hands, it appeared very light like a child¡¯s toy, but this one smash broke the sarcophagus that even magma couldn¡¯t melt into pieces. Then, Ye Chuan grabbed a fiery red pill. It was hot and was emitting pure energy fluctuation. It resembled the legendary blaze pearl. Ye Chuan had no time to carefully examine it. He quickly put away this fiery red pill, then rushed towards another sarcophagus, holding the warhammer. ¡°Enough, brat, it¡¯s our turn now!¡± ¡°Why are you speaking so much nonsense? Kill directly, but be careful of his warhammer, don¡¯t let him approach you!¡± Three loose cultivators rushed over at the same time. They clearly had agreement in secret. One was holding a shield for defense, one was holding a sharp spear, especially responsible for attack, and the remaining one was with longbow. He shot arrows without speaking. He wanted to directly kill Ye Chuan. His move was quick and ruthless. Ye Chuan suddenly swayed left and right, dodging the shark arrow. Next, his figure got dimmer as he displayed Peerless Style Technique. He crossed three meters in one jump, reaching right behind that loose cultivator with a shield. ¡°Watch out!¡± The other two warned. The fellow with the shield was also feeling the situation was anything but reassuring. He used his left leg as a fulcrum and turning around, he lifted the heavy shield. Dong, after luckily blocking the warhammer of Ye Chuan, he was forced to take a few steps back. ¡°Eh¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan was surprised. He had thought that he would kill this fellow with this attack, but to his surprise, the shield of this fellow was actually so hard. This fellow was not tall, he was short and fat, and wore a tattered armor. Looking at him, his cultivation was at most Rank 7 Daoist Master, but his ability was not low. He was at least more powerful than that bald loose cultivator. ¡°Big brother, Second brother, don¡¯t move, let him come, see how I will smash him to death!¡± The fate loose cultivator roared angrily and rushed up. Then, he ferociously smashed his heavy shield on the ground. He wanted to turn Ye Chuan into a grounded meat. Just now, the smash of Ye Chuan¡¯s warhammer had torn his perlicue and he had nearly dropped his shield. In the past, he had always been proud of his innate strength, but today, he almost dropped his shield. He was so embarrassed that he was angry. ¡°Good, that¡¯s perfect!¡± Ye Chuan sneered and looked at this fatty as if he was looking at a corpse while circulating ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. Just now, he had not even used 70% of his strength, now however was different, he circulated all his Heaven Swallowing Talismans to prepare for the strongest attack. The fatty furiously rushed towards Ye Chuan and punched. As for Ye Chuan, he just waited to see whether this fatty truly had innate strength or not. Dong, the moves of two people collided. The fatty had innate strength and he was good at using it. In the past, he had forced people to submit with just this move. Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t use any other technique, just confronted the tough with toughness. Ye Chuan was forced to retreat a few steps. His breathing became rough and his perlicue tingle and his arm was aching. Looking below, he saw the warhammer was dented a little. As for this fatty, he was standing absolutely still, it appeared as if he occupied advantage, but after a short while, he opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood. Upon careful look, one could see bits and pieces of internal organs in it. ¡°You¡­¡­, who are you?¡± The fatty asked pointing at Ye Chuan. But, before Ye Chuan had any time to answer, he collapsed to the ground and stopped breathing. It seems the strength of Ye Chuan was above his. As a matter of fact, his internal organs were smashed by the hammer of Ye Chuan. A Heaven Swallowing Talisman gave him the strength of 18,000 jin, and ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans gave him the strength of 180,000 jin! Such a strength, other than abnormal monsters, who could possess? Honestly speaking, the strength of this fatty was not low, unfortunately, it had not reached the point of being abnormal, and he had met Ye Chuan, this monster. If fatty was even a bit intelligent, then he should have retreated and joined with his two companions. But, he attacked by himself, the result, he lost his life under the attack of Ye Chuan. ¡°Third brother!¡± ¡°No¡­¡­¡± The other two loose cultivators screamed. It was already too late to rescue him, so they roared angrily and rushed towards Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan appeared quiet on the surface, but the Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body were surging as he held up this warhammer to fight back. Seeing the sarcophagus not far away was going to drift away, he didn¡¯t want to continue fighting, but the other party was unwilling to let him go, so he could only kill them quickly and decide what to do next! Chapter 522: Old devil’s sore straits The loose cultivator holding the spear was the first to rush up. He directly thrust his spear towards the chest of Ye Chuan. His momentum was so strong that it appeared as if he would pierce through Ye Chuan. The sharp tip of his spear was glimmering, clearly was smeared with poison. In addition, many runes were carved on its body. It seems that it was not an ordinary treasure. A hint of seriousness appeared on the face of Ye Chuan as he raised the warhammer to block. Ding, the whistling spear bent ninety degrees. An ordinary spear should have been broken at this point, but this spear was not damaged at all, moreover, rebounded back. ¡°Brat, give me your life, this lordship will bury you with my third brother!¡± This loose cultivator roared loudly. Looking at the white beard on his chin, he looked like an old man, but his temper was still hot. He gnashed his teeth and thrust his spear, wanting to pierce through Ye Chuan. Meanwhile, another whistling sound resounded as an arrow shot towards the glabella of Ye Chuan. The other loose cultivator with longbow had shot an arrow while rushing forward. This arrow was fierce and quick. It was stronger than the attack this bearded old man. Instantly, Ye Chuan was seized by two experts. Although the cultivation of these two couldn¡¯t be considered very powerful, at most was only Rank 7 Daoist Master realm, they had a great tacit understanding. In addition, under their fury, their attacks were more ferocious. After witnessing Ye Chuan smashing the fatty to death, they gnashed their teeth and spared no effort to attack. Ye Chuan swayed left and right, dodging the powerful arrow. Then, taking a step forward, he arrived in front of the bearded old man. ¡°Big brother, watch out!¡± The loose cultivator with longbow warned loudly. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was not high and he just had a bit more strength, his speed was too astonishing. He was so fast that other people couldn¡¯t clearly see his movement, they could only see afterimages. ¡°Kill!¡± The bearded old man was surprised. But, after hesitation for a bit, he didn¡¯t retreat, rather attacked with his spear, gritting his teeth. ¡°This spear is not bad, but the spear technique is too bad!¡¯ Ye Chuan sneered and continued to push forward. And, when the spear was just about to reach his body, he suddenly raised his left hand and firmly grabbed it. Then, with a pull, the bearded old man was forcibly pulled over, and the warhammer in the hand of Ye Chuan smashed his head, turning into a smashed watermelon. ¡°Big brother¡­¡­¡± The loose cultivator with longbow wailed mournfully. Now, he was so angry that he couldn¡¯t wait to swallow Ye Chuan whole. But, he quickly jumped to one side, opening a distance between them. Then, aimed the arrow at the glabella of Ye Chuan. Compared to the fatty and bearded old man, this fellow was clearly more experienced. His skill was also not bad. Unfortunately, before he could release the arrow, a shadow appeared in front of him. After ruthlessly smashing the head of the bearded old man, Ye Chuan had immediately flung the warhammer towards the loose cultivator with a longbow. That loose cultivator was prepared, he didn¡¯t have time to dodge and was smashed to the ground. Just then, a wave of boiling hot magma fell down, engulfing him. He was directly melted by this magma. He didn¡¯t even have time to scream and died quietly. Where did this fellow suddenly come from? Ye Chuan looked around and more than ten loose cultivators and devils around him subconsciously retreated. He had killed four experts in the blink of an eye, especially the last one that was smashed to death, that truly was too ferocious! Seeing the strength of Ye Chuan, the heart of surrounding loose cultivators and devils trembled. ¡°This sarcophagus is this lordship¡¯s, who wants to snatch it, step forward!¡± Ye Chuan looked at these more than ten loose cultivators and devils. He wanted this effect! He shocked numerous loose cultivators and devils without alerting Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng. He then flew towards the sarcophagus not far away. But, just when he grabbed it, a wind suddenly blew over from the left side. The old demon, Outlying Islands Sanren, had suddenly rushed out from who knows where. He thrust his dragon headed cane like a spear towards the vital part of Ye Chuan. His cane made people feel great danger compared to the spear of that bearded old man. Even before he was stabbed, just the wind itself made Ye Chuan feel tingling pain. Seeing the strength of Ye Chuan, ordinary loose cultivators and devils were afraid and didn¡¯t dare to make a move, but this great devil who had traveled unhindered all over the seas was fearless. Outside this Great Monarch grave, Outlying Islands Sanren was meek in front of Qing Tianhou, but his cultivation was not low at all. Taking advantage of this unguarded state of Ye Chuan, he suddenly attacked before Ye Chuan seized this sarcophagus. His true target was the pill Ye Chuan had obtained before. Regardless of whether that pill would work or not, he first wanted to seize it first. The ground swayed more and more violently, and more and more treasures were spurted out. The situation was very chaotic and it was hard to see who did what. Unfortunately, Outlying Islands Sanren just happened to see Ye Chuan obtaining that fiery red pill, so he had the thoughts to attack Ye Chuan. With a heavy sarcophagus on his shoulder, many people eyeing covetously around him, and even a blaze spirit rushing towards him from the crater, the sneak attack of Outlying Islands Sanren placed him in a dangerous position. It was not difficult to doge, but he must abandon the sarcophagus first. He didn¡¯t have time to place it in his Cyan Lotus Space. Surviving or seizing treasure, which was important? Anyone with a rational mind would choose the right choice, Ye Chuan was also the same, but he didn¡¯t dodge hastily and also didn¡¯t abandon the sarcophagus. He didn¡¯t even prepare to block, he just intentionally lowered his voice and coldly said to Outlying Islands Sanren, ¡°What, old fellow, do you want to snatch the thing this old man liked?¡± Outlying Islands Sanren who was attacking ferociously suddenly stopped and watched Ye Chuan in disbelief and muttered, ¡°You¡­¡­, you are¡­¡­ Thunderbolt Sect¡¯s Tai¡­¡­ Taishang Elder¡­¡­¡± The familiar voice made this Outlying Islands Sanren suddenly recall a person. That person was Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect, Venerable Thunderbolt, that had made him retreat in the past. Under his guidance, some doubts on his cultivation were resolved. And under the latter¡¯s hints, he was able to sense that his cultivation had gone awry and he was about to have qi deviation. A legendary expert that had already broken through to Half Sage realm several thousand years ago. No wonder, he was so strong, and his such attack, wasn¡¯t that just courting death? Outlying Islands Sanren was greatly scared and he retracted his dragon headed cane that was just half an inch away from Ye Chuan. Even though Ye Chuan didn¡¯t seem to have any intention to block, he didn¡¯t dare to stab him. ¡°Heh heh, you are sensible. What, you also like this sarcophagus? Do you want this old man to give it to you?¡± Ye Chuan sneered and lowered his voice, pretending to an old man. ¡°No¡­¡­, no, this little one doesn¡¯t have such intention, this little one has committed a crime!¡± Outlying Islands Sanren hastily shook his head. The more relaxed Ye Chuan was, the more restless he felt as if he had run into a disaster. He sweated profusely, then putting away his dragon headed cane, he fled in defeat. Chapter 523: Targeted After old devil Outlying Islands Sanren left, Ye Chuan finally relaxed in secret. Just now, if that old devil had truly attacked, then he would have been in trouble. He might have even gotten seriously injured. And in this place where loose cultivators and devils were gathered, the consequences of being severely injured was obvious. ¡°It seems the condition of that old fellow is really bad and there is a big problem in his cultivation.¡± Watching the back view of Outlying Islands Sanren, Ye Chuan sighed in his heart. He then used a technique and placed this sarcophagus into his Cyan Lotus Space. At that time, along with a loud rumbling sound, the ground shook as a large amount of magma erupted out. The loose cultivators and devils gathered on the summit exclaimed. This time, there were more sarcophagi. In addition to ordinary greyish white and rare cyan sarcophagi, there was one golden sarcophagus never seen before. There was only one rune on this sarcophagus and looked simple. It was no different from ordinary sarcophagi. And at the same time, along with this sarcophagus, many blaze spirits also came out. This group of blaze spirits looked like a mighty army. ¡°That is the legacy of Sea Waves Great Monarch!¡± ¡°This sarcophagus is mine!¡± Numerous loose cultivations and devils roared, and rushed towards that golden sarcophagus. Once this golden sarcophagus appeared, all peak loose cultivators and devils thoroughly went crazy. Earlier when exploring the underground cave, they had noticed that the sarcophagus located deeper had fewer runes. Ordinary greyish white sarcophaguses had countless runes, cyan sarcophagus had hundred to thousand runes, but this golden sarcophagus had only one rune, this explained one point, this sarcophagus was the first sarcophagus sealed in the underground cave. It was very likely to be the first sarcophagus personally sealed by Blue Waves Great Monarch before his death. It might contain the essence of his cultivation and strength. Whoever obtains it would inherit the inheritance of a Great Monarch! The cautious loose cultivators and devils who feared Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng completely went insane, and rushed towards that golden sarcophagus regardless of their safety. This was very dangerous, there was a great possibility that they would die, but as long as they succeed in seizing the treasure in this sarcophagus, they could reach the sky in single bound! The risks and the opportunities were the two sides of the same coin, this huge temptation made people lose reason and risked their lives to obtain that golden sarcophagus. Ye Chuan suddenly stopped, and looking at that golden sarcophagus, he was also incomparably excited. He wanted to give it a try to snatch it. He took a deep breath and rushed out. But, his target wasn¡¯t golden sarcophagus, rather a cyan sarcophagus not far away. With the appearance of this golden sarcophagus, many devils including Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng had all their attention to this golden sarcophagus. Now, they didn¡¯t care about those cyan sarcophagi. Although Ye Chuan also wanted to make give it a try, in order to avoid exposing his identity and attract the attention of two super experts, he had to settle for the second best. Now, Ye Chuan had a greater chance to obtain cyan sarcophagus as the attention of large numbers of strong devils was attracted by that golden sarcophagus. He quickly changed over and just before the magma splashed on him, he suddenly stopped followed by grabbing a cyan sarcophagus that spurt out from the magma¡­¡­ Ye Chuan displayed the might of Cyan Feather Technique and smoothly grabbed the first cyan sarcophagus. There was a cyan flame inside this cyan sarcophagus. Refining it, he would have the efficacy of 800 years! The heartbeat of Ye Chuan accelerated in excitement, but he neither had time to carefully observe not break this sarcophagus. He directly put it inside his Cyan Lotus Space and rushed towards another cyan sarcophagus. There was only one golden sarcophagus, obtaining it, one might obtain the inheritance of ancient Great Monarch and reached the sky in a single bound, Ye Chuan also wanted this kind of treasure, but was that possible? It¡¯s not! People should know oneself, Ye Chuan clearly know his own cultivation. With his current cultivation base, if he wanted to seize that golden sarcophagus in the midst of these numerous strong experts, he didn¡¯t even have one percent chance. Moreover, there was 99% chance of dying. The temptation of that golden sarcophagus was great, but it was not worth the risk. For less than one percent assurance, taking 99% risk was definitely not worth it. Even if Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng wanted to seize this golden sarcophagus, it would not be so easy. When there was an opportunity, Ye Chuan was bolder than anyone else, he would dare to pull chestnuts out of the fire, but when the risk was too high, he was calmer than anyone else. In his previous life, when he explored numerous ancient ominous domains, Ye Chuan had deeply understood this point. At the critical moment, if one was not sufficiently calm, then upon seeing a treasure, one would recklessly rush up. If he had done so, then he might have already died long ago before becoming the Heaven Concealing Great Sage who dominated over other Sage realm experts. In the Wilderness World, strength was very important, it is the foundation of all cultivators. But, compared to strength, one¡¯s mental state was even more important, and one should be able to completely control one¡¯s heart. It was necessary to be able to calm down at a critical moment. Unfortunately, although there were countless cultivators in Wilderness World, not many understood this point. The majority of them focused solely on cultivation, seizing treasure and strength. They simply didn¡¯t know that the mental state should also be cultivated, but even if they knew this point, only a few people could accomplish this. Ye Chuan stood still on the ground, and when other people were fanatically chasing after the golden sarcophagus, he calmed his heart and taking advantage of this situation, he prepared to seize cyan sarcophagi. The fact proved that his decision was right. When Ye Chuan was seizing cyan sarcophagus, the people chasing after golden sarcophagus suffered casualties. Many died frequently. No matter where the golden sarcophagus flew, the blaze spirits clustered around it and attacked all those who got near it. Even Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, these two super experts were unable to seize it and were in sore straits. As for other people, no need to speak about their state. There was one great devil who wore armor that was impervious to flame and magma, he directly rushed forward, wanting to seize the golden sarcophagus first, the result, tens of blaze spirits attacked him with billowing flames, and this great devil had a bad end. The armor he was wearing still exists, but there was nobody inside the armor, this great devil was melted completely. Hot headed and stupid people were always the first to die, and most of the people in the world were stupid. Ye Chuan just sneered, indifferently looking at others, then rushed towards another cyan sarcophagus. When others were seeing their own doom, he was taking advantage of this time to obtain great fortune. There were also some loose cultivators who were seizing ordinary sarcophagi, but, most were taking the role of bystander and truly strong were chasing after that golden sarcophagus, so there was basically no one that was able to contend against Ye Chuan. ¡°The seventh cyan sarcophagus!¡± Ye Chuan grabbed the seventh cyan sarcophagus, but just when he was about to put it away, his glabella suddenly twitched. He turned around to look and saw a blaze spirit had shot out from the magma. It ignored all the nearby devils, and was staring fixedly at Ye Chuan. After rushing out from behind the rock, Ye Chuan had obtained the greatest harvest, thus attracting a true danger. Chapter 524: Choose Ye Chuan didn¡¯t hesitate. He turned around and left. Even with a heavy sarcophagus on his shoulder, his speed was still astonishing. While running away, he used a technique to put away this sarcophagus, unfortunately, it was already too late. That blaze spirit rushed over and spat out a mouthful of vital qi. When this vital qi encountered the air, it turned into a flame and whistled towards the back of Ye Chuan. The technique of Ye Chuan was interrupted. He had to concentrate on dealing with this attack. His body suddenly began to sway rapidly. Since he had already witnessed the injury of Ye Lanqing, the female disciple of Thunderbolt Sect, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to rashly take this move head-on. He just dodged it. The blazing flame bushed past Ye Chuan, nearly burning the robe of Ye Chuan. Then, Ye Chuan ran even faster without looking back. But, just after he had taken three steps, a flame wall suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path. The blaze spirit behind him was not only chasing, it was also using deadly moves. It appeared as if it wouldn¡¯t let Ye Chuan go until he died. As long as a cultivator had grabbed a sarcophagus, he would attract the attention of the blaze spirits. It seems the mission of these fellows was to guard every sarcophagus and not let anyone take the treasures away. Ye Chuan had seized many cyan sarcophagi, thus he had attracted the attention of blaze spirits. Although most of the blaze spirits were guarding the golden sarcophagus, this single fellow still rushed over and attacked ferociously, wanting to kill Ye Chuan at the fastest speed. Ye Chuan suddenly stopped running blindly, rather drifted like a leaf. Even though he still carried a heavy sarcophagus on his shoulder, he looked light like a feather without any weight. The blaze spirit repeatedly attacked, and often shoot out boiling hot fireballs, but all failed. Since he couldn¡¯t get rid of this blaze spirit even after running at his top speed, Ye Chuan quickly changed his tactics. Although he repeatedly dodged the attacks of the blaze spirit, the distance between them quickly decreased. Roar¡­¡­ The blaze spirit whose attacks had failed again and again accelerated upon seeing the hope to catch Ye Chuan. It then placed his palms in front of its chest and a scorching hot flame appeared between his palms. This flame became bigger and bigger, and also brighter and brighter. In the end, the temperature reached so high that the surrounding air made crackling sounds as if they were about to get burned. ¡°Look, over there, that kid is screwed!¡± ¡°These blaze spirits are too fierce, retreat, quickly retreat!¡± The nearby loose cultivators and devils noticed the activity of this side and hastily withdrew far away. All truly powerful experts had gone to chase after that golden sarcophagus, hoping to reach the sky in a single bound. Thus, all those left in the vicinity of Ye Chuan were ordinary characters. Most of them were just Rank 3 Daoist Master realm or so. In the process of vying for sarcophagi just a moment ago, a lot of people had eaten loss in the hands of Ye Chuan, now, seeing that Ye Chuan was dying in the hands of that blaze spirit, they were gloating over his misfortune while watching. There were even some people who were ready to make a move. They were waiting for a chance, as long as Ye Chuan fell, they would rush over to seize the sarcophagus in his shoulder. In the midst of the crowd that was gloating over, there was a pair of doubtful eyes. The old devil Outlying Islands Sanren had unwittingly noticed the movement of this side and come over to watch. Then, seeing Ye Chuan was repeatedly close to death in the hands of this blaze spirit, his eyes were filled with doubts. A legendary senior expert who had already broken through to Half Sage realm several thousand years ago, how come he was unable to defeat just one blaze spirit with his strength? Looking at the other side, even the joint attack of several blaze spirits was insufficient to kill Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, moreover, such a crowd of blaze spirits was just able to block them outside the golden sarcophagus. Since all three of them were Half Sage realm expert, how come the disparity was so big? Could it be¡­¡­ The old devil was confused as a doubt about the identity of Ye Chuan began to appear in his heart. The ground swayed and a large amount of magma erupted, and this boiling hot magma just happened to block the path of Ye Chuan. In addition, the eyes of the blaze spirit that was preparing its deadly attack shone. It then suddenly accelerated and the flame between his palms became even more terrifying. Since there is nowhere to go in the front and there is a blaze spirit chasing behind him, this kid is screwed! The onlookers were nervous, waiting for the scene of Ye Chuan being burned into a coke. But, at that time when everyone was thinking that Ye Chuan was certain to die, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped, turned around, and lifting the heavy sarcophagus from his shoulder, he ruthlessly slammed down! Dong! The blaze spirit with threatening momentum was sent flying. It didn¡¯t have time to use that terrifying flame between his palms. ¡°Kill!¡± Ye Chuan roared and chased after that blaze spirit. He then circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and swung the heavy sarcophagus again. He had been waiting for this moment! On the surface, Ye Chuan was being chased by the blaze spirit until he had nowhere to go, but in fact, he had been secretly leading this blaze spirit, deliberately circling around the summit. And at the same time, he was prepared and waiting for a chance to counterattack. And when the blaze spirit had ferociously rushed towards him with its full speed, thinking it was a chance to kill Ye Chuan, it didn¡¯t know that that was the godsend chance for Ye Chuan. Dong, dong, dong, the blaze spirit was repeatedly smashed, and its body quickly became bloody. The complexion of onlookers paled. Every time Ye Chuan smashed the blaze spirit with the sarcophagus, their heart trembled as if they were the one being smashed by the sarcophagus. The fellows who were preparing to rush over just a moment ago became pale, but they were also glad that they didn¡¯t act rashly. The old devil Outlying Islands Sanren also wiped the sweat on his forehead and didn¡¯t dare to let his imagination run wild. The attack power of these blaze spirits that had rushed out from underground was ferocious. Even this old devil had no confidence to win against even one blaze spirit, and he also had no confidence in being able to injure them like Ye Chuan. If he was not the Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect, then who else could be so ferocious? The old devil was shocked and hid among the crowd. As for Ye Chuan, after seizing the chance to attack, he continuously attacked and didn¡¯t give this blaze spirit any chance to take a breather. Under the continuous violent attacks, this blaze spirit who was caught unguarded was unable to do anything. Very soon, the blaze spirit that was ferociously chasing after Ye Chuan just a moment ago became a pool of blood. It was smashed into pieces. Instantly after it fell, a ring fell out of its body and a time and space gate appeared out of thin air. Should he stay to snatch more sarcophagus or take this chance to leave? Ye Chuan picked the ring that had fallen on the ground, then he looked at the time and space gate and again looked at many loose cultivators and devils along with two super experts chasing after the golden sarcophagus, and hesitated. Chapter 525: 18 Demongods Banner The ground continuously shook and different sized sarcophagi were became sprayed out one after another. At that time, an ear-piercing sound came. Ye Chuan who was hesitating turned around and saw a shocking scene. In the midst of the large crowd of ferocious blaze spirits, an ice-cold blade light shone, and instantly, at least a dozen blaze spirits fell. Then, a tall figure flew out and sweeping over numerous blaze spirits, he ferociously shopped the golden sarcophagus with his blade. Qing Tianhou! The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk as his heart trembled. Just being chased by one blaze spirit, he was in danger again and again; but even under the siege of hundreds of blaze spirits, Qing Tianhou not only didn¡¯t fall, instead was killing all around! Peak Half-Sage realm, this was the gap! This Qing Tianhou who had made a name for himself just in a few years after he came from the Outer World was so ferocious! No wonder, even Daqin King who was known as the overweeningly ambitious emperor through the ages had to offer amnesty and conferred him the title of duke! People exclaimed, and before they had hardly finished exclaiming, Qing Tianhou chopped down again. Crack, a crack appeared on the golden sarcophagus that was a hundred times harder than ordinary sarcophagus and incomparably majestic energy fluctuation gushed out from inside the sarcophagus. Now, from the crack, people could vaguely see 18 faced banners. What is that? The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk. He could sense boundless pressure from this 18 faced banners. Without a doubt, this was a set of ancient killing weapons. Each faced banner had majestic energy, adding up the energy of 18 faced banners, their might was incomparable! ¡°18 Demongods Banner, this is the legendary 18 Demongods Banner!¡± ¡°Step aside, this 18 faced banners is mine!¡± The experienced and knowledgeable old devils around the crater exclaimed. Soon after that, they crazily rushed forward. They had thoroughly went insane. Ever since the ancient times, many legends regarding Lost City, the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, had been circulating in the nearby sea areas. Among various legends, the legends regarding various kinds of ancient treasures were most fascinating. Among those treasures, there was a unique 18 faced banners. According to the legend, whoever obtains and successfully refines it, he will be able to summon 18 ancient demongods, thus known as 18 Demongods Banner. A single Demongod was already a heaven defying existence, they were above Sage realm experts, and summoning 18 of them together, who will be the opponent? After discerning what treasure was sealed inside the golden sarcophagus, the loose cultivators and devils went insane. Originally, a legend was just a legend, no one knew whether it was true or false, but now that the legendary treasure had truly appeared before their eyes, in addition sensing the majestic aura of that treasure, they were endlessly excited. From several thousand years old devils to ordinary loose cultivators, everyone simultaneously rushed up ready to risk everything, hoping to obtain this treasure. If they were able to seize this legendary 18 Demongods Banner, then that was not as simple as reaching the sky in a single bound, rather was trampling the sky! Ye Chuan stood still, but he was also very excited in his heart. He stared at that 18 Demongods Banner inside the golden sarcophagus without blinking his eyes. After hearing the exclamation of loose cultivators and devils, he quickly understood what kind of treasure this was. Originally, he just wanted to seize some cyan sarcophagus taking advantage of the chaos, or even seizing many ordinary greyish white sarcophagus was enough. But, once the 18 faced banner inside the golden sarcophagus became visible, the treasures in other sarcophagus became flat and insipid. Even if he seized hundreds of ordinary treasures or even a thousand, it was incomparable to obtaining this single treasure 18 Demongods Banner. If he could obtain this single treasure, he would gladly give up all other treasures! At this moment, even Ye Chuan who had always been clam without forgetting the initial intention was also involuntarily excited. This time, why did he come here from far mainland? Didn¡¯t he come to sea to look for opportunities and also to look for ancient treasures that would help him make a breakthrough and advance his strength by leaps and bounds? The 18 Demongod Banner inside that golden sarcophagus was a very rare opportunity. With this kind of treasure, he didn¡¯t need to fear not breaking through to peak Daoist Master realm, moreover, he could skip a realm and crush Half Sage realm experts; and if he breakthrough to Half Sage realm, he could even behead Sage realm expert, this would enable him to look for the enemies of the past life and take revenge! The heart of Ye Chuan accelerated. The blood and qi within his body seethed along with ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans. It was undoubtedly dangerous to compete against Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng for this 18 Demongods Banner. That was also outside his plan, but if he missed such an opportunity, then he would regret throughout his life! A heat wave suddenly came from the left side. The glabella of Ye Chuan who was preparing to make a move suddenly twitched as he felt danger. He turned to look and saw another blaze spirit was rushing towards him. Taking advantage of the time when he was in a daze, its one palm was already just three meters away. The palm was bright red as if a scalding hot iron. If he truly got hit by this palm, then he might be melted in an instant. Even before the palm had made a contact with his body, just the palm wind alone was so hot that he felt like he was in an alchemy furnace, all of his blood was boiling. Taking advantage of the moment when Ye Chuan was absentminded, a blaze spirit had made a fierce attack. Compared to the previous blaze spirit, this blaze spirit was even more ferocious and faster. Ye Chuan had reacted instinctively, but it was already too late to dodge. With a low roar, Ye Chuan instantly raised his strength to the limit, since he couldn¡¯t dodge it, he could only meet tough with toughness. Even if he was instantly burned into ashes, he would never fall without putting up a fight. ¡°Your Excellency, watch out!¡± A figure suddenly rushed out from one side, and the dragon headed cane in his hand stabbed straight towards the heart of this blaze spirit. If the latter didn¡¯t change its move, then it would naturally be able to heavily injure caught ungraded Ye Chuan, but it itself would also be pierced by the dragon headed cane! In the imminent peril, the old devil Outlying Islands Sanren had suddenly made a move to help Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan was startled. He had not expected this old devil to come to help him. The blaze spirit had also not expected, thus it paused for a moment, and shortly afterward, it continued to attack Ye Chuan, indifferent to the weapon at the side. It appeared as if it wanted to exchange its life for Ye Chuan¡¯s. In order to protect the treasures of this Great Monarch grave, these blaze spirits were incomparably ruthless! The old devil was shocked and sweated profusely. He had not expected this blaze spirit to be so ferocious! He had been watching Ye Chuan in secret, and when he saw Ye Chuan was in danger, he rushed out to help, but, he was still a step late! Ye Chuan suddenly swayed, then appeared three steps away. The blaze spirit had only paused for a moment, the average person wouldn¡¯t have seen any difference, but it was enough for Ye Chuan. He instantly used Peerless Style Technique to dodge. The attack of the blaze spirit hit the empty air. It then gritted its teeth and roared, then suddenly turning around, it glared at this hindrance Outlying Islands Sanren and spat out a mouthful of vital flame, wanting to burn him to ashes. It completely ignored the dragon headed cane that was about to stab it. The complexion of old devils greatly changed and instantly shivered. This blaze spirit unexpectedly wasn¡¯t holding back at all. It now wanted to exchange its life with him, but he didn¡¯t want to perish together. But, he was helpless, he was already too close to this blaze spirit, so he didn¡¯t have time to dodge. He wanted to help Ye Chuan, but to his surprise, he himself fell into a great danger! Chapter 526: Gift you this treasure A huge shadow suddenly appeared behind that ferociously attacking blaze spirit. Ye Chuan used Peerless Style Technique again and appeared behind the blaze spirit. He then used a cyan sarcophagus to smash this blaze spirit to death. An arm guard fell from it and another time and space gate appeared on the ground. The old devil Outlying Islands Sanren was nearly injured heavily by this blaze spirit, but because of his move, Ye Chuan was able to escape and also kill this blaze spirit. Ordinary people would find it hard to carry this heavy sarcophagus, but in the hands of Ye Chuan, its weight was just right. This displayed how violent his strength was. In just one move, this blaze spirit was smashed to death. ¡°Thank you, Your Excellency!¡± The old devil wiped the sweat from his forehead and respectfully thanked like a junior in front of Ye Chuan. He was an old devil who had ran wildly in nearby water for a long time, he wasn¡¯t even afraid of Sect Master of Thunderbolt Sect, but in front of Long Yi, he was courteous like a junior. The Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect who had already broken through to Half Sage realm several thousand years ago, in front of such personage, being courteous like a junior wasn¡¯t losing face. ¡°Get up, it should be that should thank you.¡± Looking at the respectful old devil, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t tell his true identity. He paused for a bit, then tossing the cyan sarcophagus on his shoulder to the old devil, he said, ¡°I give you this sarcophagus and that arm guard, cultivate well.¡± Ye Chuan spoke and left, instantly disappearing in the midst of the crowd. Behind, the old devil was stunned and subconsciously caught the cyan sarcophagus tossed over by Ye Chuan. This was not ordinary sarcophagus, rather a cyan sarcophagus. If the cyan flame sealed inside was refined, then the cultivation of one would progress by 800 years! It was so hard to snatch, but Ye Chuan gave it to him so easily. When the old devil had made the move, he hadn¡¯t even thought about getting a reward. At that moment, he had acted subconsciously. Even he himself didn¡¯t understand why he made such a move. But, now it seemed that he had made the right move! Who didn¡¯t want the treasures sealed inside the sarcophagi here? The old devil Outlying Islands Sanren also wanted them. He also wanted to refine a large number of cyan flames, making his cultivation advance by leaps and bound. Merely, the number of cyan sarcophagus was very few, and it was very hard to snatch them. But now, he had easily obtained a treasure that would advance his cultivation by 800 years once refined, and even more importantly, he had won good impression of Ye Chuan, afterward, if he encountered any issues in the cultivation of ancient Avatar Technique, then¡­.. The old devils were excited. His eyes were somewhat moist as a long lost emotion appeared in his heart. The generosity of Ye Chuan and the ruthlessness of Qing Tianhou formed a sharp contrast for him. After relying on Qing Tianhou, he had originally thought that he found a big backer, but facts proved that, this backer Qing Tianhou was basically unreliable. Qing Tianhou who had come from the Outer World only had power and ambition to conquer the world in his eyes. All the loyal men under him were ants in his eyes. He would smile a little at them when needed, but become ruthless when needed to deal with them. Ye Chuan was completely different, he showed generosity in action and his words made people feel warm. The old devil stood still and after thinking for a while, he decisively made a decision and left. The ground was still shaking violently as more and more magma and treasures were spurted out from the ground. On the summit, there was great chaos. But, all the loose cultivators and devils who were somewhat capable were chasing after the golden sarcophagus. Everyone was eager to seize that legendary 18 Demongods Banner. They had less than ten percent chance, but that was enough to make them take a great risk. The two super experts, Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, were also similarly chasing after this golden sarcophagus. If someone looked down from high altitude, then one would see a shocking scene at this moment. On this summit where not even a blade of grass grew, there were big and small cracks everywhere, and it appeared as if the entire mountain would explode at any time. In addition, from time to time, a large amount of magma would be sprayed out from underground, and golden sarcophagus would glide on this magma with numerous blaze spirits around it. And wherever the golden sarcophagus went, people would follow and they would be attacked by those blaze spirits. The loose cultivators and devils were like frantic ants, but Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng were like two sharp blades, one on the left and the other in the right, they slaughtered blaze spirits around the golden sarcophagus. At this moment, Qing Tianhou was expressionless, and his entire body was already bloody but he still was incomparably fierce. Like a Slaughter God that came from the Outer World, he killed many blaze spirits. Each slash of his halberd would see the blood of one blaze spirit. Sometimes, his one slash would even take down a group of blaze spirits. Qing Tianhou like close-quarter combat and he was also good at it. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng however was different, holding Emperor Bow, he moved all around blaze spirits. If blaze spirits rushed towards him, he would quickly retreat to dodge, and if blaze spirits retreat, he would closely chase after them. And every time he pulled Emperor Bow, one blaze spirit would certainly fall with their glabella pierced through by an arrow without exception. His movement was elegant and wasn¡¯t valorous like Qing Tianhou, but when it comes to the efficiency of killing, he was not any inferior. If Qing Tianhou was Slaughter God, then, Jiang Tunsheng was Arrow God. Before they broke into Lost City, these two super experts had fought in Bellowing waves Island, and after entering this Great Monarch grave, they were competing again. They wanted to see who could snatch the 18 Demongods Banner sealed inside this golden sarcophagus. With their cultivation base, no matter who obtained this 18 Demongods Banner, their fighting power will vastly increase, enough to kill the other party on the spot. For numerous loose cultivators and devils, this 18 Demongods Banner sealed in the golden sarcophagus was an ancient killing weapon which could make them reach the sky in one leap after refining; but for Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, this was not only a big killing weapon, it was also something that was that could overwhelm and crush the other. Ordinary people were fighting for this treasure, but they were fighting for their lives. They would rather destroy this golden sarcophagus along with 18 Demongods Banner, but absolutely must not let this treasure fall into the other¡¯s hands! The battle was getting fiercer and fiercer, but no one noticed that, a loose cultivator wearing a big bamboo hat had joined the battle without anybody knowing. He slowly advanced in the midst of the crowd, approaching the golden sarcophagus. But, unlike other loose cultivators and devils, he didn¡¯t rush into the magma, rather kept some distance. He was tall and had extraordinary temperament, but his facial features couldn¡¯t be seen because of the big bamboo hat. Ye Chuan had quietly joined the battle for golden sarcophagus without anybody knowing. He mixed into the crowd, waiting for an opportunity. Chapter 527: Snatching food from tiger’s mouth The ground continued to shake and blaze spirit continuously rushed out from underground, joining the ranks of guarding golden sarcophagus. But, under the crazed attack of people, the number of blaze spirits guarding golden sarcophagus became fewer and fewer. The loose cultivators and devils displayed their life techniques and attacked jointly. The blaze spirits were unable to resist. In particular, under the hands of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, the numbers of casualties among blaze spirits increased. Buzz¡­¡­ A cold blade light streak across the sky. A group of spirit blazes that were standing at one side of golden sarcophagus fell at the same time and an opening instantly appeared. ¡°Under this Lord Hou¡¯s Qingtian Blade, no one can live!¡± Qing Tianhou was very valorous, he rushed forward while roaring and ferociously chopped down at the golden sarcophagus again. Kacha, more cracks appeared on the golden sarcophagus. Now, it appeared as if a cracked eggshell that would break into pieces upon a light touch. ¡°Hahaha, 18 Demongods Banner, this treasure after all is this Lord Hou¡¯s!¡± Qing Tianhou roared with laughter, and brandishing his halberd again, he killed several blaze spirits that were flying towards him. He then reached out his hands to grab the golden sarcophagus. What a terrifying power, in addition, his momentum was unparalleled! So powerful! Was this fellow truly made from iron? Even after such a fierce battle and injuries, he unexpectedly was still so valorous! The loose cultivators and devils were shocked and sweated profusely. And under the threat of death, even though they were not far away from the golden sarcophagus and there were not many blaze spirits blocking them, and they could reach the golden sarcophagus in two steps, after witnessing the valor of Qing Tianhou, no one dared to move. This fellow could kill a dozen of blaze spirit with one blade slash, who could withstand the blade slash of this fellow? The people were nervous, they looked at the golden sarcophagus that was not far away from them with red eyes, but they didn¡¯t dare to move. They helplessly watched 18 Demongods Banner falling in the hands of Qing Tianhou. ¡°Not necessarily, Qing Tianhou, can you take this lordship¡¯s arrow?¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng neither panicked nor became impatient. He also didn¡¯t urgently rush over to seize the golden sarcophagus, rather took out a golden arrow from his back and nock this arrow in the Emperor Bow. Qing Tianhou who was about to grab the golden sarcophagus suddenly stopped, and in the next second, he suddenly raised his hands to protect his glabella. Ding, a wisp of golden light hit his halberd and he was sent flying as his purlicue tingled. After coming to Overseas World in person, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng had been using only Emperor Bow to kill the opponent with invisible arrows. On his back, he however had several golden arrows. He had never used them. Only now, the true first arrow was shot, and just this one arrow nearly took the life of Qing Tianhou! The Daqin Dynasty was a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. The might of this Emperor Bow Jiang Tunsheng had borrowed from Daqin King far exceeded the imagination of people. People were shocked including Ye Chuan who was mixed in the crowd. But, He didn¡¯t retreat, instead, he stepped closer to the golden sarcophagus. ¡°Don¡¯t bother and give up! Qing Tianhou, in the future, if you want to know how powerful this 18 Demongods Banner is, then come to look for me in the capital. Rest assured, as long as you know your place as the duke, His Majesty will guarantee your prosperity!¡± Jiang Tunsheng sneered and took the initiative to seize the golden sarcophagus. The crowd of people got noisy. Seeing Jiang Tunsheng was about to seize this golden sarcophagus, loose cultivators and devils were sad and unwilling. A legendary big killing weapon that could crush even a Sage realm expert was about to fall into the hands of another before their own eyes, who would be willing? The people wanted to make a move, but looking at the Emperor Bow in the hands of Jiang Tunsheng, no one dared to make a move. Even without that golden arrow, just the invisible energy arrow was enough to pierce through their head. At that time, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly spread out from within the body of Qing Tianhou. Seeing Jiang Tunsheng was about to seize the golden sarcophagus, Qing Tianhou made a move. No one knew what kind of pill he swallowed or what kind of secret technique he used, but his energy fluctuation was rising rapidly and in one step, he appeared in front of Jiang Tunsheng. Then, a blaze light swept towards the waist of Jiang Tunsheng with the intention to slash him into two pieces. ¡°Jiang Tunsheng, Do you think that only you have a backer? This sarcophagus is mine!¡± Buzz¡­¡­ This move was Qing Tianhou was so fast that even many peak Daoist Master loose cultivators and devils were unable to see with their naked eyes. But just hearing that void breaking sound, they felt intense danger in their heart. If this blade of Qing Tianhou was directed at them, then no one would survive! The complexion of Jiang Tunsheng changed greatly, and he instantly moved sideways, leaving behind afterimages. It seemed that his technique was somewhat similar to Ye Chuan¡¯s Cyan Feather Technique, but it was even more powerful. He was able to move instantaneously within a limited range. He reached far away with heavy golden sarcophagus on his shoulders. Unfortunately, his opponent was also not ordinary, Qing Tianhou used his own technique to keep up the pace. Now, the decisive battle between two super experts appeared in front of people. In the past, no matter whether they were fighting against a large number of blaze spirits or fighting against each other, they didn¡¯t go all out. Now, at the final moment, both of them went all out, even preparing to exchange a life for a life. The blade of Qing Tianhou was unstoppable. As for the arrows of Jiang Tunsheng, they were mighty. Soon, both of them were riddled with injuries and became bloody. As for the golden sarcophagus, it had already fallen on the ground, no one was able to successfully seize it. There were some extremely daring devils. Seeing 18 Demongods Banner near them, they were unable to endure their impulse. They gritted their teeth and rushed out, wanting to seize it taking advantage of the time when these two super experts were fighting like mad. The result, before they reached the golden sarcophagus, they were either killed by the blade of Qing Tianhou or were shot to death by Jiang Tunsheng. Even without personally targeting them, they died under the aftereffect of their battle. Ye Chuan however stayed still and continued to lurk in the crowd, but the distance between him and the golden sarcophagus had decreased. In the midst of the fierce battle, no one noticed that a small ground wave had already approached the golden sarcophagus. It paused for a moment, and the instant the arracks of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng collided, a whip suddenly sprang out from underground and pulled this golden sarcophagus underground. When everyone feared underground magma, Ye Chuan however did exactly the opposite. He had used Tentacle Talisman within his body to pull golden sarcophagus underground which was equivalent to snatching food from tiger¡¯s mouth. Instantly after that, he also sank into the ground, then he spread out his divine sense and ran away with golden sarcophagus while dodging the underground magma. Chapter 528: Public enemy Who is it? Who had such big courage and skill to snatch away the golden sarcophagus under so many eyes? The people were greatly shocked. They even find it unbelievable. They wanted to believe that the restriction had pulled back the golden sarcophagus. But, looking at the remaining blaze spirits charging underground, they were certain that this was not the doing of the restriction, rather someone had used a secret technique to snatch it successfully! Inside the Flame Mountain, there was boiling hot magma. Between the ground and the magma, there was just a less than 7 meters thick thin layer of earth. Ye Chuan moved through this thin layer of earth with the golden sarcophagus, while dodging the magma that erupted from time to time. He had finally obtained the 18 Demongods Banner that could crush Sages according to the legend. Even Ye Chuan who had seen all kinds of treasures in his past life was also excited. After refining this treasure, his cultivation will definitely soar. He will be able to breakthrough to Rank 7 Daoist Master realm, or might even reach Half Sage realm at one go. At that time, he will no longer need to fear Qing Tianhou, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng and so on super experts. He might even be able to trample them under his foot! Ye Chuan who longed for strength and breakthrough got more and more excited. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t have much time to be happy, great danger was following behind him. The temperature of this thin layer of earth suddenly rose rapidly. The speed of blaze spirits that guarded the golden sarcophagus was alarming. These blaze spirits that were fighting ferociously above the ground drilled into the ground and chased after him even more ferociously. Ye Chuan quickly changed his direction, hoping to shake off these ferocious pursuers, but very quickly, he discovered that that was practically impossible. The ferocious blaze spirits rushed towards him from all directions and their number was increasing. There was some that came from above ground and there were some that came from the magma below. After changing direction several times, Ye Chuan discovered that he was completely surrounded. He was unable to cover the distance he had thought before. But, if he didn¡¯t go up now, then he might get killed by these blaze spirit. Ye Chuan roared and placed the golden sarcophagus on his shoulder, then rushed to breakout of the ground. A hint of ice-cold blade light whistled in front of Ye Chuan practically at the same time when he broke out of the ground. Qing Tianhou? The heart of Ye Chuan shook. This blade light was dazzling. Instantly, he was unable to anything else other than this blade light. He didn¡¯t know where and who the enemy was, but, in this Great Monarch Grave, other than Qing Tianhou, who had such a fierce blade technique? ¡°You dare to take this Lord Hou¡¯s thing, courting death!¡± Sure enough, a familiar cold voice resounded. It was none other than Qing Tianhou. Ye Chuan suddenly swayed and dodged this blade light as if he was weightless despite carrying the heavy golden sarcophagus. But, the big bamboo hat on his head was damaged under this fierce attack. At the critical moment of life and death, Ye Chuan circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body sparing no effort, but unlike the past, he was unable to completely dodge this blade of Qing Tianhou. His left shoulder was dripping with blood. His entire left arm was nearly chopped off. Was this the Qingtian Blade Technique? Ye Chuan was shocked in his heart and reexamined the fighting power of Qing Tianhou. But, he didn¡¯t know that, Qing Tianhou was also shocked. After the golden sarcophagus was snatched, he had locked onto the aura of Ye Chuan and was chasing from above the ground, so the instant Ye Chuan appeared, he made a killing move. With his fighting power, furthermore, a surprise attack, he basically had thought that this single blade will kill Ye Chuan and then he would snatch the golden sarcophagus, but who would have thought that Ye Chuan was able to dodge it? Since there was no death, this attack was a failure for Qing Tianhou! Ye Chuan looked up while breathing heavily. He completely ignored his bloody wound. Standing close to Qing Tianhou, he truly understood how terrifying this fellow was. And since his energy fluctuation was locked on by the strong power of Qing Tianhou, he basically was unable to shake him off no matter where he ran. Moreover, he couldn¡¯t even resist. After the dust in the sky settled down, the atmosphere became heavier and the pressure increased by ten times. When powerful experts fought, they would have a contest of aura before making a move. This so-called aura was actually energy fluctuation or the pressure of cultivators. After breaking through to Rank 6 Daoist Master realm and condensing ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans, the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan was amazing. Even average Rank 7 Daoist Master realm experts might not necessarily be his match, but compared to this peak Half Sage Qing Tianhou, there was a huge gap. He basically not his opponent! ¡°Eh, it¡¯s you!¡± Qing Tianhou exclaimed and stopped the halberd he had already raised. Only at this moment, he was able to clearly see who had snatched the golden sarcophagus under the eyes of everyone. He had never expected him to be this kid Ye Chuan. The ground shook and many blaze spirits also broke out of the ground, surrounding these two people. In an instant, it appeared as if all the remaining blaze spirits of this Great Monarch Grave had rushed out, wanting to kill anyone that seized the golden sarcophagus! It was already hard to deal with Qing Tianhou, now with the addition of so many blaze spirits, how can he break out of this encirclement? The heart of Ye Chuan was getting heavier and heavier. With his extraordinary calmness and patience, he had obtained this golden sarcophagus, but now, it was difficult to get away. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me, Lord Hou, we meet again.¡± After a brief period of tension, Ye Chuan calmed down and took a step forward. Even when facing this super expert Qing Tianhou, he was still undaunted and just pulled down the big bamboo hat a little. Firstly, it was to cover his face, and secondly, it was also to take advantage of this moment to size up the circumstances around. Seeing Qing Tianhou with dense killing intent and numerous fierce blaze spirits, many loose cultivators and devils didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. Only State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng slowly approached and aimed the Emperor Bow. The pressure on Ye Chuan who was already in a bad situation increased. The bones within his body were already making creaking sounds. He already wasn¡¯t able to deal with one super expert, now with the addition of another super expert, he was unable to endure! Now, these two super experts who originally were trying to kill each other simultaneously locked onto the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan, in addition, there were numerous ferocious blaze spirits glaring at him, and there were also many loose cultivators and devils eying him covetously. Ye Chuan had suddenly become the target of everyone. The golden sarcophagus on his shoulder had turned into a hot potato. But, also because he was the target of everyone, no one dared to act rashly and a strange scene appeared here. A drop of sweat flowed down the face of Ye Chuan. His heart was getting heavier and heavier, but he had to think of a way to escape this circumstance. Chapter 529: Conch Sound ¡°Boy, hand it over, this golden sarcophagus along with the treasure sealed inside it is not something you can swallow.¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng slowly walked forward. He also recognized Ye Chuan. Although the big bamboo hat had covered most of Ye Chuan¡¯s face, for the experts of Jiang Tunsheng level, not to mention just disguising, even if one used a technique to transform into another person. They could recognize a person because although the appearance could be changed but the aura and spirit fluctuation were unique, and everyone had different. ¡°What if I don¡¯t have it over?¡± Ye Chuan asked. His legs were firmly nailed on the ground and he was enduring the pressure of these two super experts, circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was surprised. And seeing the current cultivation realm of Ye Chuan, a hint of appreciation flashed through his eyes, but he indifferently said, ¡°I said, this is something you can swallow, moreover, even if you have obtained it now, you will not be able to keep it. If you don¡¯t hand it over, then do you think you will be able to walk out alive from this Great Monarch Grave? Ye Chuan remained silent and looking at the situation around him, his heart sunk even further. But, this thing obtained with great difficulty, who would be willing to hand it over just like this? Ye Chuan was unwilling, and it was not his style. He just calmly thought of countermeasures. Jing Tunsheng no longer urged him. He gave Ye Chuan time to think over. Qing Tianhou however was impatient. He stepped forward and coldly said with dense killing intent, ¡°Boy, hand over that golden sarcophagus and pledge loyalty to this Lord Hou, this is the only way you can survive, otherwise, you will die a miserable death, and even your sect will be eradicated!¡¯ The killing intent of Qing Tianhou was soaring. He was prepared to kill at any time like a Slaughter God. Ye Chuan however remained indifferent to this threat. But, many blaze spirits seemed impatient too, and red radiance circulated around their body. ¡°Give me that golden sarcophagus and I swear that you will live a wealthy life and I will make his Majesty bestow you Cloud Mist Sect, in addition, guarantee your and your sect¡¯s safety, how about it?¡± Jiang Tunsheng continued to move forward, slowly getting closer and closer. And without waiting for Ye Chuan to answer the threat of Qing Tianhou, he offered attractive conditions. One was ferocious and was filled with dense killing intent, and the other was making an attractive promise. Both of them similarly wanted the golden sarcophagus on the shoulder of Ye Chuan, but their means were completely different. Qing Tianhou was aloof and arrogant. In his eyes, it seemed that everyone under heaven was ants. Jiang Tunsheng however was different. He would not discard the things he targeted, but he could make some compromises and concessions. Ye Chuan who seemed to be dead for certain suddenly turned into something these two super experts vie for. The ground however continued to sway and a large amount of magma erupted out frequently. But, the eyes of everyone was on Ye Chuan. They wanted to see what Ye Chuan would choose. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t reply and seemed to be in a dilemma. Under this heavy encirclement, it was almost impossible to leave with the golden sarcophagus. But, there was a problem handing it over to either Qing Tianhou or Jing Tunsheng. If he handed it over to Qing Tianhou, then he would also have to pledge loyalty to him and heed his command hereafter; and if he handed it over to Jiang Tunsheng, he would thoroughly offend Qing Tianhou and he wouldn¡¯t be able to guaranty the safety of the sect hereafter. ¡°Kid, last chance, hand it over, otherwise, you are dead today, no one can save you!¡± Qing Tianhou took a step forward. Now, he was less than seven meters away from Ye Chuan, but his killing intent was still increasing with impatience. The ground shook more and more violently and the restriction fluctuation in the air became stronger. If this continued, then no one knew what kind of changes would occur in this Great Monarch Grave. In the unlikely event, if there was a guardian more powerful than these blaze spirits, then no one might be able to obtain this golden sarcophagus. ¡°It is not impossible to hand this golden sarcophagus to you, but, I must look for my companion first and ask whether he agrees or not.¡± Ye Chuan threw the golden sarcophagus on the ground with a reluctant appearance, then he took out a conch from who knows where and gently blew it. The sound was gentle and it was transmitted to far away. It appeared as if he was truly calling for his companion, separated in this Flame Mountain. This kid knows his place! The eyes of onlooking loose cultivators and devils shone, watching the golden sarcophagus on the ground. Now, they were just looking for a chance to seize it. Even the complexion of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng tightened up, and looking at each other, their energy fluctuation reached an extreme level. Now, the golden sarcophagus was an ownerless item, so like when the golden sarcophagus had just come out from underground, everyone could fight for it. Many blaze spirits also prepared to rushed forward in a tight formation, but before they had a chance to make a move, they suddenly fell into a daze. Ancient Grave Conch! Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was paying attention to the golden sarcophagus, Ye Chuan used Ancient Grave Conch he had obtained not long ago. He had launched a wide range attack. In front of this heavy encirclement and pressure of these two super experts, this was the only way to break out! When the conch sounded, the first to fall for it wasn¡¯t loose cultivators, rather numerous blaze spirits. ¡°Not good, this conch sound is strange!¡± ¡°This kid has lied, watch out!¡± Numerous loose cultivators and devils reacted and screamed subconsciously. They wanted to rush up and seize the golden sarcophagus taking advantage of this chance, but everyone felt dizzy. In an instant, it became silent around and they couldn¡¯t even see bright red magma. It appeared as if the time was frozen for a moment. ¡°Kill!¡± Qing Tianhou roared and attacked. The moment he felt something was wrong, he immediately launched a ferocious attack. Bang, the ground suddenly shook violently and a large amount of magma rose to the sky. Qing Tianhou whose killing intent was soaring slipped and nearly fell on the ground. And in that moment, all the cries of people suddenly disappeared, only a strange conch sound resounded in his mind which seemed to urge him to sleep. Looking up, he saw Ye Chuan was close at hand, but his figure changed into three, four¡­¡­, as he felt dizzy. Buzz¡­¡­ An ice-cold blade light streak across the sky. Although Qing Tianhou was feeling dizzy, he still made a blade slash. This blade cut Ye Chuan and made a bloody rain. ¡°Qing Tianhou, in the future, I will repay you twice the favor!¡± Ye Chuan let out a muffled groan, then picking up the golden sarcophagus, he swatted a blaze spirit to death. The latter collapsed and a Raging Flame ring fell and a time and space gate appeared. Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t afford to pick up this Raging Flame ring, it was important to save his life first. He immediately entered the time and space gate with the golden sarcophagus and disappeared without a trace. Chapter 530: Price In an instant, Ye Chuan was teleported outside the Great Monarch grave, returning to the tall mountain shrouded with dense mist. He looked all around, but this place with mist spread all over was very quiet. This tall mountain with ancient graves everywhere in itself resembled a huge grave. His wounds of stomach and shoulder were dripping with blood. Ye Chuan looked down and examined his wound and felt lucky. If the wound was a bit deeper, then he feared that the blade of Qing Tianhou might have cut him into two. But, he didn¡¯t have time to waste, he immediately put away the golden sarcophagus and left without even wrapping the wounds. Caught unprepared, the people were confused by the conch sound, but after a short time, they would wake up. If he didn¡¯t leave now, then perhaps, he would instantly be surrounded. The complexion of Ye Chuan was stretched taut. The 18 Demongods Banner was the earliest treasure sealed inside this Great Monarch grave and it might be the most valuable treasure there. Thus, people will not easily give it up. Sure enough, just after he left, many figures appeared outside the Great Monarch grave. Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng were also among them. ¡°Chase, that kid is seriously injured, he has definitely not run far!¡± ¡°There is the blood trail on the ground, follow it, quick!¡± Everyone shouted and spread out all over, wanting to kill Ye Chuan. Many ordinary loose cultivators also joined the ranks to chase Ye Chuan. In the Great Monarch grave, numerous experts had been eyeing the golden sarcophagus, so they thought that it was even harder than reaching the sky to seize the golden sarcophagus. But now, it was different, experts had spread out all around, so there was a comparatively smaller number of experts to compete. In addition, they had the cover of mist. If they find Ye Chuan, then they might successfully obtain the golden sarcophagus. Ye Chuan was severely injured, so now, it was not whose cultivation was higher, rather who was luckier. If one was lucky, then they could seize the golden sarcophagus without anybody knowing! The loose cultivators and devils that rushed out from the Great Monarch grave quickly went into action. Among them, there was no lack of very experienced yao beast hunters. They followed the blood trail of Ye Chuan in the midst of the thick mist. But, after chasing for a while, this blood trail disappeared. Everyone worked together to search this mountain, but they still gained nothing. Even Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, these two super experts, were also at their wits¡¯ end. They could sense neither Ye Chuan¡¯s aura nor his spirit fluctuation as if the latter had already left the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan. Or perhaps, he fell into some kind of abyss and died. Even after searching again and again for several hours, and even searching the foot of the mountain, they gained nothing, so they had no choice but to climb up the mountain. But the more they climbed up, the denser the mist, and the more powerful the restriction fluctuation was, thus it got harder to advance. But on the mountain, perhaps, there were more Great Monarch grave that no one had ever entered with many treasures sealed inside, so people gave up the chase and left in succession. But, Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng were still standing opposite to each other in the midst of the dense mist. Don¡¯t know when they met, but they were watching each other with a cold gaze as if they were about to fight to the death. ¡°At that time in Great Monarch grave, you obviously could have killed that brat, why did you let him go?¡± Qing Tianhou fiercely glared at Jiang Tunsheng and his killing intent soared. Caught unprepared, he was affected by the conch sound and felt dizzy for a moment, but he still severely injured Ye Chuan with his blade. At that time, although Jiang Tunsheng had also a chance to make a move, he just aimed at the Ye Chuan and let Ye Chuan escape without releasing his arrow. He just watched Ye Chuan disappearing into the time and space gate. This made Qing Tianhou hate Jiang Tunsheng, and he also was unable to understand his purpose. ¡°Qing Tianhou, since you didn¡¯t have the ability to kill him even though you were so close to that kid, who else can do it? Moreover, at the last moment, you wanted me to shoot that heavily injured kid so that you can take advantage of that moment, and seize that golden sarcophagus?¡± Jiang Tunsheng sneered and paused for a moment, then added, ¡°The thing I cannot obtain, don¡¯t think that you can obtain it!¡± ¡°You¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou was furious. His blade trembled as he wanted to fight to the death with Jiang Tunsheng, but looking at the mountain shrouded with dense mist, he hesitated for a while and suppressed his anger. He then turned around and flew away, leaving behind his cold voice, ¡°Old man, you better pray that you have a breakthrough in your cultivation, otherwise, you will not be able to walk for long in front of this Lord Hou. The day this Lord Hou breakthrough to Sage realm is your day of death, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou roared with laughter as he left to look for more treasures and opportunities. They had broken into this racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan with great difficulty, now was not the time to have a fight to the death with Jiang Tunsheng. Whoever seizes more treasures, he would have a greater chance to breakthrough to Sage realm faster and he would also be the last one to laugh. For cultivators, powerful strength and cultivation were eternal pursuits. Ordinary cultivators were like this, when one was in Wuzhe realm, one would long to breakthrough to Xiushi realm, and when one was in Xiushi realm, one would long to breakthrough to Daoist Master realm. Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, these kind of super experts were also the same. They had already reached peak Half-Sage realm, but they still long more powerful strength and spared no effort to breakthrough to Sage realm! At that time during the attack of Cloud Mist Sect, although State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was powerful, he was far from being as heaven-defying as his current self. This was because, on one hand, he now had Emperor Bow, and on the other hand, he had just sent his avatar at that time, displaying only the strength of peak Daoist Master realm. Now, he had come with his real body, and he was not any inferior to Qing Tianhou. Looking at the departing back view of Qing Tianhou, Jiang Tunsheng stood still with a heavy heart and sighed, ¡°At the last moment, considering Zixia, I let that kid go, was that worth it? If Zixia heard this, she might be very happy, but was it really worth it for her to pay such a heavy price for such a licentious and heartless kid, eternally unable to see the sunlight, ai¡­¡­¡± Jiang Tunsheng was dejected, he then sighed again and left. Behind, underneath an unassuming grave, the soil gradually loosened and slowly a head came out. When everyone was chasing, Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t left far. He had hidden nearby. He had used a secret technique to bury himself underground and retract all his aura and energy fluctuation. In addition, due to the dense mist and restriction fluctuation everywhere, he successfully passed this danger. ¡°At the last moment, that State Teacher had intentionally let me go?¡± Ye Chuan was shocked. He had successfully escaped from numerous loose cultivators and devils, but he was unable to be happy and doubts appeared in his heart. ¡°This old man, what is his relation with Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia? How come he let me go for her shake? Furthermore, what happened to Zixia? What kind of price did she pay?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly became confused and a very bad feeling appeared in his heart. After thinking carefully, it had already been a long period of time since he had last contacted Hong Zixia. After Daqin Dynasty attacked Cloud Mist Sect, he had not seen her again. In that battle, Jiang Tunsheng had suddenly arrived and no was able to block him, fortunately, Hong Zixia arrived in time, and this drew White Haired Heavenly Empress later. This suppressed Jiang Tunsheng. But, what exactly happened to Jiang Tunsheng later? What about White Haired Heavenly Empress and Hong Zixia? Ye Chuan knew nothing. Everything that happened after he fell unconsciousness, he knew nothing. Originally, Ye Chuan thought that Hong Zixiya had followed her master White Haired Heavenly Empress to return to heavenly Yao Sect and she was cultivating in ease to take command of Heavenly Yao Sect, but hearing the words of Jiang Tunsheng, it seemed that the situation was completely different! ¡°Zixia, where are you?¡± Ye Chuan was worried. He couldn¡¯t wait to return to the mainland and clearly investigate Heavenly Yao Sect. At this moment, the sweet voice and expression of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia appeared in his mind. They had gone through thick and thin in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Later, they pair-cultivated Demonic Dragon Sutra. Gradually, recalling every time he spent with her appeared in his mind and his desire to return to the mainland became stronger and stronger. Chapter 531: Sea Demon The sounds of footsteps suddenly resounded. Because of the dense mist, nothing could be seen, but the ears of Ye Chuan suddenly stood erect and he came back to his senses. He then took out Iron Blooded Banner at the fastest speed and directed his dense killing intent towards the direction of those footsteps. Although Qing Tianhou, State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng and numerous devils had already left, it didn¡¯t mean that there were no powerful loose cultivators around. Therefore, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to let his guard down. After he was severely injured by Qing Tianhou, now he couldn¡¯t use most of his techniques, so, if he encountered powerful devils now, then the consequences would be unimaginable. ¡°Your Excellency, it¡¯s me!¡± A vaguely familiar voice came from the midst of the mist, and not long after, a tall figure walked out of the mist. His face was filled with wrinkles and he held a dragon headed cane. He was none other than infamous Outlying Islands Sanren. ¡°It¡¯s you.¡± Ye Chuan was surprised and secretly felt relief, but he didn¡¯t dare to lower his guard. In the Great Monarch Grave, not only this old devil didn¡¯t hit him when he was down, he also faced dangers of being burnt into ashes by blaze spirits to save him, thus, Ye Chuan had a favorable impression on him. But, people¡¯s minds were unfathomable, they couldn¡¯t be trusted at any time, especially this time when there was no difference between lowering guard and courting death. 18 Demongods Banner, a great killing weapon left behind by a Great Monarch, who doesn¡¯t want it? Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He circulated ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, secretly preparing to counterattack at any time. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me.¡± The old devil nodded his head. Who was he? He was a great devil who had run amuck in nearby sea area, he was able to see the alertness of Ye Chuan at one glance. So, he stopped and said, ¡°Your Excellency, I don¡¯t have any ill intention and I also don¡¯t desire the 10 Demongods Banner inside that golden sarcophagus. Many things in this world are decreed by fate, the things that are destined to me will eventually be mine, no one can snatch them from me. As for the things that are not destined to me, no matter how hard I try, they will also not be mine. Even if they fell into my hand, I will not be able to hold them or even refine them.¡± ¡°It seems you know yourself.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and sized up this old devil. He then sat down and began to bandage his wounds. He placed Iron Blooded Banner at one side and concentrated on treating his wounds, intentionally ignoring this old devil. It was very dangerous in this mountain. He might fall into a restriction or encounter powerful devils at any time. So, he couldn¡¯t afford to let his wounds worsen, thus, he quickly bandaged and treated his wounds. Besides, this was also sounding out this old devil. If the latter truly had any ill intention, then this was absolutely the best chance to make a move. ¡°I, Zhong Moli, has always known myself and am careful, otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have lived till today.¡± The old devil smiled awkwardly. The energy fluctuation within his body was still smooth and calm without any killing intention. There was no sign of making a move. On the contrary, he pulled a long face and worriedly said, ¡°But, the path of cultivation is harder the further one walked, no matter how careful I am now, I fear I will not be able to avoid this calamity and perish, ai¡­¡­¡± ¡°Do you want me to help you resolve your calamity avoid going berserk?¡± Ye Chuan quickly understood the meaning of the old devil. No wonder this old fellow took risks to help him. He indeed had prepared in advance. ¡°Yes, Your Excellency, I truly cannot withstand and perish this time. My qimen acupoint is getting more and more painful, it is getting harder and harder to circulate my true qi, and my avatar has not condensed yet. I fear I will fall apart very soon, Your Excellency, you must save me!¡± The old devil sincerely said and bowed respectfully. He was even willing to kneel down to Ye Chuan. At this time, he was going to perish, he couldn¡¯t afford to consider his face and identity. After cultivating Ancient Avatar Technique for dozens of years, he had felt that something was wrong, and after entering this racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, the symptom had gotten more and more obvious. He feared that it was not an ordinary qi deviation this time, rather a qi deviation that could end his life. He didn¡¯t have any confidence in being able to withstand this qi deviation with only his strength. As a peak Daoist Master realm expert, Outlying Islands Sanren Zhong Moli had experienced many qi deviations. But, he had never felt like this before. He was feeling an unprecedented danger which completely destroyed his confidence as he was unable to find any solution. One of the reasons why he had gone to seek refuge with Qing Tianhou was to resolve this problem. But, although Qing Tianhou was powerful beyond his imagination, unfortunately, he was simply unreliable, on the contrary, Ye Chuan who had disguised as Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect made him see a glimmer of hope. ¡°I have learned one or two things about Ancient Avatar Technique, I have also cultivated it before, but, not deeply, I fear I might not be able to help you. I am very sorry. If you truly feel that this is a life and death calamity, then you should go and find a heaven-defying expert as quickly as possible. Don¡¯t waste your time here.¡± Ye Chuan tactfully rejected. He then paused for a bit and said with a smile, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right, didn¡¯t you already seek refuge with Qing Tianhou? How come you are not going to look for him? Even if the first time asking didn¡¯t work, the second time asking might work, Qing Tianhou might be able to resolve your issue easily.¡± ¡°Your Excellency, you are the heaven-defying expert, and also the only one that can save me. Your Excellency, I beseech you.¡± The old devil was anxious. He directly knelt down and said, ¡°Your Excellency, as long as you help me, I, Zhong Moli will become your servant. I will swear loyalty to you forever. I will never betray you. As for the relation between Qing Tianhou and I, I am just his one follower at best. I had just gone to seek refuge with him, I haven¡¯t pledged loyalty to him, moreover, Qing Tianhou, he¡­¡­, he¡­¡­¡± Seeing the smiling face of Ye Chuan, the old devil became anxious, but, when all was said and done, since he had once gone and sought refuge with Qing Tianhou, although the latter had distressed him, he also didn¡¯t want to make malicious remarks of him in front of other people. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t he be regarded as the double-faced person? A hint of appreciation flashed through the eyes of Ye Chuan and said, ¡°I understand, helping other people solve their life and death calamity has always been the most dangerous and troublesome thing. Since Qing Tianhou is unwilling to help, this lordship¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan shook his head with the expression of willing to help but unable to do so. He also appeared as if he didn¡¯t care about his loyalty. ¡°Your Excellency, I have the manual of Ancient Avatar Technique, I can offer it to you!¡± The old devil replied, hoping to move Ye Chuan. He also knew that helping other people resolve their life and death calamity was difficult and dangerous. Ye Chuan just smiled and shook his head again, ¡°Your that incomplete copy of Ancient Avatar Technique, if I cultivate it, I will also have an issue, what¡¯s its use to me?¡± The old devil wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, ¡°Your Excellency, I have an island, there are several hundred disciples and servants on the island. In addition, I also have some mines, I will offer all to Your Excellency, how about it?¡± ¡°Zhong Moli, is it? Do you think these secular things have any use to me?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. Although he was a little moved, on the surface, he remained indifferent with an aloof and refined appearance. ¡°Your Excellency, I can swear allegiance to you, can work as your death soldier, I¡­¡­¡± The old devil was more anxious now. He wanted to provide greater remuneration to Ye Chuan, but he couldn¡¯t think of anything else. ¡°Ai, Zhong Moli, do you think I lack subordinates and death soldiers?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head again. ¡°I¡­¡­, I have some flying swords, I can give them and also this dragon headed cane¡­¡­¡± The old devil truly was at his wits¡¯ end. He even offered the cane in his hand to Ye Chuan. He then racked his brain to think of anything valuable he possessed. And after thinking for a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead and took out a sheepskin from his bosom and said, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right, Your Excellency, this is an ancient Sea Demon Map. It records the topography of Sea Demon Clan¡¯s racial holy land. With this map, perhaps, true Lost City could be found, Your Excellency¡­..¡± ¡°Sea Demon Map?¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan shone and before the old devil offered it to him, Ye Chuan took that ancient sheepskin. He spread it and after browsing it, he quickly became excited. Chapter 532: Seven large graves This was a soft sheepskin. It was already tattered due to age. Thus, the patterns drawn on it were somewhat fuzzy, but looking carefully, one could see that this was a map. At the center of this map, there was a tall mountain, and on the tall mountain, there were big and small graves everywhere. As for around this tall mountain, it was a blank space shrouded with thick mist. At one glance, one could see that this was the map of Sea Demon Clan¡¯s racial holy land. Ye Chuan was excited and he quickly looked for the real location of the Lost City on this map. If he found Lost City, then there was a high chance that he would find Zhu Sijia and others. At that time, he could join them and quickly leave this sea area after taking the holy item of Sea Demon Clan and return to the mainland! After unwittingly learning the circumstance of Hong Zixia was not good, Ye Chuan was anxious to return, but the tall mountain of the map was also shrouded with dense mist and there were graves everywhere, in addition, the map was tattered and fuzzy, how could he know the location of Lost City? Ye Chuan carefully looked for a while but he still gained nothing. It seemed that this was not a secret map from Sea Demon Clan, rather the map casually made by a certain loose cultivator or great devil, nothing worth mentioning was marked on this map. ¡°Your Excellency, look here, isn¡¯t this just happen to be the Great Monarch Grave we broke in? And here, isn¡¯t there a dotted line?¡± Zhong Moli walked forward and said pointing on the map. After accidentally obtaining this map more than a hundred years ago, he had repeatedly studied it. He had long noticed many details that went unnoticed by ordinary people. At first glance, the place pointed by Zhong Moli seemed to be an unassuming little dot on the map, representing a grave, not different from the other graves. But, from the surrounding topography, it was truly identical to the Great Monarch Grave. And upon the careful look, one could further see a faint dotted line passing through this grave. And following this dotted line, one could see that this dotted line passed through seven graves on the map. These seven graves spread across the mountain, from top to bottom. There were not in any particular order, merely, this faint dotted line passed through them. Starting from the foot of the mountain, this Great Monarch Grave was located in the second position of this dotted line. ¡°Your Excellency, if my guess isn¡¯t wrong, then the real racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan is inside one of these seven graves.¡± The old devil paused and added, ¡°The first grave marked by the dotted line is near the foot of the mountain, I have already broke in and explored it. There were also many treasures sealed inside, but someone else had basically taken them away. Other than traces left behind by ordinary loose cultivators, I found something else.¡± The old devil said as he took out a command plate from his bosom. Many waves like lines were carved on it as if an ocean world was sealed inside this command plate. ¡°This is¡­¡­ command tablet of Sea Demon Clan!¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s eye shone. ¡°Yes, it is the special command tablet of Sea Demon Clan, without a doubt, Sea Demon Clan had definitely been inside that grave. Moreover, they seemed to be in haste as they dropped this command plate inside.¡± The old devil hesitated for a while and added, ¡°Your Excellency, I think even the descendants of Sea Demon Clan didn¡¯t know the real location of Lost City, so they were also looking around. To be precise, they were looking among these seven graves! As long as we are quick enough, we can break into the real Lost City before them and take away their holy item!¡± In order to gain the trust and help of Ye Chuan, the old devil went all out, he told all his findings of over a hundred years without any reservation. Now, the most urgent matter for him was to resolve his calamity and survive. Any treasure was less important. Without life, what was the use of any treasure? Ye Chuan who was in front of him was his only hope. ¡°Not bad, this map has some value, at least it is better than this cane in your hand.¡± Ye Chuan looked up and said. With this map, there was a high chance of finding Lost City and Zhu Sijia¡¯s group. He no longer needed to run all around like a headless fly. ¡°Your Excellency, then my calamity¡­¡­¡± The old devil was excited hearing the words of Ye Chuan. ¡°Difficult, very difficult.¡± Ye Chuan still shook his head. He already had a thought in his mind, but he didn¡¯t agree immediately and said, ¡°In the Great Monarch Grave, I owed you a favor, in addition, now you have already given me this map, normally, I would have agreed to help you. But, helping resolve the life and death calamity of other people is honestly too dangerous. Even I don¡¯t have a hundred percent certainty. The slightest bit of mishap and both you and I will be annihilated. Besides, not too long ago, didn¡¯t you threaten Ye Lanqing and other female disciples? If I hadn¡¯t encountered them, then wouldn¡¯t¡­¡­¡± The face of old devil became red and said with an awkward smile, ¡°Your Excellency, that¡­¡­, I was just scaring them. You also know that Overseas World is filled with loose cultivators and devils everywhere, if one is not fierce enough then one would be annihilated, so¡­¡­, so even though I am not fierce enough, I at least wanted to pretend to be fierce so as to make others not dare to easily look down upon me¡­¡­¡± The old devil stuttered with some embarrassment. Not long ago, he was threatening female disciples of Thunderbolt Sect to violate and kill, but now, he was stuttering, wanting to pledge loyalty. No matter how thick his skin was, he was ashamed. ¡°Oh, so it was like that, now I understand.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and looking at this old devil with a red face, he said with a bright smile, ¡°There is a matter I want to make clear first. Actually, I am not Thunderbolt Venerable, the Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Elder. I am not even a person from this Overseas World, I am just an unqualified disciple of a third-rate sect of the mainland. What do you say, do you still want to pledge loyalty to me?¡± Ye Chuan said while talking off his big bamboo hat, revealing his face. Looking at Ye Chuan who was younger than the Big Disciple of Thunderbolt Sect, the old devil was somewhat dumbfounded, but he came back to his sensed before long. He then hastily nodded his head and said, ¡°Yes, I, Zhong Moli, will pledge loyalty to Your Excellency, I beseech Your Excellency to bestow kindness. Your Excellency can rest assured, I absolutely will not speak about your true identity, I don¡¯t know the Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect and also have never seen him.¡± In the Wilderness World, there were countless techniques. There were many who forcibly seized other¡¯s body or reincarnate. The most taboo thing for this kind of people was exposing their previous identity. It was to avoid getting killed by the strong opponents of his previous life before his cultivation was sufficiently strong. The more Ye Chuan denied it, the more this old devil believed that Ye Chuan was the legendary Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect, and he became all the more respectful. Seeing the expression of this old devil, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or to cry, and he also didn¡¯t feel like explaining, ¡°Zhong Moli, have you considered it clearly?¡± ¡°Yes, I have considered it clearly, Your Excellency, please save me.¡± The old devil firmly nodded his head without any hesitation, ¡°Your Excellency can rest assured, I can take an oath, if I betray you in the future, then I¡­¡­¡± ¡°Enough, I don¡¯t need your oath, you only need to absorb this drop of essence blood.¡± Ye Chuan interrupted the oath of the old devil and using Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique, he forced out a drop of blood and flicked it into the glabella of the old devil. The heart of old devil stopped for a moment. He now understood that the might of Ye Chuan was far beyond his expectation. He became more respectful and became even more fearful, not daring to have even a thought of betrayal. Chapter 533: Millennium efficacy After enlisting this old devil Outlying Islands Sanren, Ye Chuan had another powerful helper beside him. Now, he didn¡¯t know the situation of Zhu Sijia and others. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Plague Archfiend, these three experts were also not beside him. In such a moment, the addition of this old devil gave him a bit of assurance in this dangerous place. ¡°Your Excellency, my calamity¡­¡­¡± The old devil was somewhat impatient. He was worried that his situation would deteriorate further. ¡°It is not easy to completely resolve your calamity. I have to return to mainland and make sufficient preparation first, in addition, I will have certainty after I broke through to Half Sage realm.¡± Ye Chuan paused and seeing the face of the old devil turning pale, he added, ¡°Zhong Moli, you don¡¯t have to worry too much, as I see it, your calamity is unlikely to come in short time. We still have time some time to make preparations. How about this, I will pass you Heart Nourishing Technique first. As for your incomplete Ancient Avatar Technique, stop cultivating it, and when you comprehend Heart Nourishing Technique, I will pass you the real complete Ancient Avatar Technique. Sickness comes like an avalanche but goes like reeling silk, resolving calamity takes times, you cannot be too hasty.¡± Ye Chuan flicked his finger and a profound technique appeared in the mind of old devil. ¡°Many thanks, Your Excellency, I will obey Your Excellency¡¯s arrangement!¡± The old devil bowed and sat down cross-legged on the spot to cultivate. Just after browsing this technique, he understood that this was a rare advanced technique. Following Qing Tianhou, he had to charge and shatter enemy position, moreover, he would be treated like an ant; but following Ye Chuan, he was benefited again and again. In Great Monarch Grave, Ye Chuan had given him a cyan sarcophagus. Refining the cyan flame inside it, his cultivation had increased by eight hundred years, and now, he received a profound technique. If he continued to follow him, did need to fear his calamity? The worried old devil finally relaxed and regained his past confidence. After giving a cultivation technique to the old devil and making him comprehend it, Ye Chuan no longer cared about him. He used a technique and summoned numerous human faced snakes, Six-Winged Golden Cicada and puppet doll Hei Kui, and made them guard him. Ye Chuan, was he going to break open the golden sarcophagus and refine the 18 Demongods Banner here? The old devil who was about to cultivate deeply suddenly got excited upon seeing this. 18 Demongods Banner, such an ancient great killing artifact, although he didn¡¯t dare to have any inordinate thoughts about it, being able to witness Ye Chuan refining this treasure from close proximity in itself had a great benefit! The old devil was unable to cultivate calmly. His eyes were wide open, waiting to see how Ye Chuan would refine that 18 Demongods Banner. However, he was disappointed. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t take out the golden sarcophagus, rather took out a cyan sarcophagus from his Cyan Lotus Space. He then broke open this solid sarcophagus and the cyan flame sealed inside changed into a wisp of cyan light and entered into his body. Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground without moving, but his pores suddenly emitted cyan mist along with scorching hot heat wave. The human faced snakes, Hei Kui and others hastily fled to one side. But, the body of Ye Chuan got hotter and hotter as if his entire body was burning. ¡°Good, good, good, this flame energy is truly marvelous, it is like the sun, could it be that it is the origin energy of Sea Demon Clan¡¯s holy land?¡± After a short while, Ye Chuan opened his eyes and repeatedly sighed in admiration as his energy fluctuation suddenly rose. He also recalled the scene of Qing Tianhou refining the cyan flame inside the Great Monarch Grave. At that time, helplessly watching Qing Tianhou refining cyan flames and his energy fluctuation rising successively as the result, everyone was exclaiming in admiration and envy including Ye Chuan. Now, it was finally his turn to taste this flavor. Refining a ball of cyan flame instantly added the efficacy of eight hundred years! Ye Chuan was excited. After enlisting the old devil, he didn¡¯t immediately refine the 18 Demongods Banner of the golden sarcophagus, rather he refined flames of cyan colored sarcophagi first so as to strengthen his cultivation first. Regardless of the time, own cultivation was the foundation. Especially now, being seriously injured in this unpredictable dangerous place, it was even more crucial to recover his strength and even strengthen himself! After carefully examining the benefits of refining the cyan flame, Ye Chuan continued to take out cyan sarcophagi and successively refined cyan flames of the cyan sarcophagi he obtained in Great Monarch Grave. He hoped that he would make a breakthrough and condense new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. The dense mist around suddenly seethed and whistling sounds resounded. The energy fluctuation within the body of Ye Chuan rose successively. Refining each cyan flame increased his power by eight hundred years. Now, his energy fluctuation was like a lake surface under the heavy rain. And sensing his violent energy fluctuation, not to mention puppet doll, even peak Daoist Master realm old devil was also shocked. Expert, he is definitely the reincarnated heaven-defying expert, this time, I have hit the jackpot and found a real powerful backer! The old devil was excited and all the more firmly believed that Ye Chuan was the legendary Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect. If that was not the case, then how can Ye Chuan be proficient in Thunderbolt Sword Technique which was the secret technique of Thunderbolt Sect? In addition, how could he understand Ancient Avatar Technique? Also, how could his cultivation be so amazing? The old devil looked forward to the future. He was unable to imagine what kind of expert he would become after he breakthrough to Half Sage realm again! The onlooking old devil and Hei Kui were excited, but, Ye Chuan however sighed in disappointment. When his energy fluctuation rose to the pinnacle, the new Heaven Swallowing Talisman within his body was on the verge of condensing, and then, there was nothing more, the violent and majestic energy fluctuation slowly calmed down. Even after refining five cyan flames, he still was unable to make a breakthrough! Ye Chuan was disappointed, but the sudden increase of his power not only thoroughly healed his injuries, his body was also strengthened a step further. Now, he could display even more techniques. Unfortunately, it was a quantitative change, not the qualitative change, moreover, he was unable to breakthrough to Rank 7 Daoist Master realm and also unable to condense a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. From Rank 6 Daoist Master realm to Rank 7 Daoist Master realm, this was a threshold, but condensing eleventh Heaven Swallowing Talisman from ten Heaven Swallowing Talisman was an even greater threshold. The further one walked down the path of cultivation, the harder it was to make progress, and with both thresholds added together, it was easier said than done to breakthrough them. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t lament too much. He quickly adjusted his mentality, then using a technique, he took out the golden sarcophagus he had snatched right before the eyes of two super experts, Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. After refining cyan flames inside cyan sarcophagi, the eyes of Ye Chuan were blazing like torches. Now, he planned to refine 18 Demongods Banner, this ancient killing artifact. A workman must first sharpen his tools if he was to do his work well, if he refined this 18 Demongods Banner before finding Lost City and Zhu Sijia¡¯s group, at that time, he no longer needed to fear Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng. He would be stepping into the ranks of super experts! Chapter 534: Tracks Dong! A muffled sound resounded as Ye Chuan hit the golden sarcophagus with his palm. The golden sarcophagus was already cracked by the halberd of Qing Tianhou, but the attack of Ye Chuan did nothing. Not even a single additional crack appeared on it. The eyes of Ye Chuan however still blaze like a torch. He circulated ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and attacked again without any hesitation. This time, along with the sound of explosion, even the ground shook, but, the golden sarcophagus remained unchanged. Ye Chuan was greatly shocked in his heart. In the Great Monarch Grave, he had seen each blade slash of Qing Tianhou had left behind a big crack on it, as if it was not that difficult to break open this golden sarcophagus. But now, as he sees it, he was so wrong. It was not that this sarcophagus was not solid enough, rather Qing Tianhou was too powerful. ¡°Again!¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t believe that he couldn¡¯t even dent it. He used Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Technique to launch a fierce attack. His fists heavily fell on the golden sarcophagus like the rain. Each fist brought along an ear-deafening sound. The dense mist around him also seethed violently under his energy fluctuation. The old devil had his eyes wide open. The more he watched, the more he was unable to cultivate calmly. The attacks of Ye Chuan appeared unremarkable, but every punch had amazing power behind it. Even he might not necessarily be able to directly withstand it. But, what surprised him even more was, even under the ferocious attacks of Ye Chuan, the golden sarcophagus was practically unscathed. Clearly, it was already cracked, but it appeared as if it was impossible to break it open, making it impossible to take out 18 Demongods Banner. An ancient great killing artifact, let alone refining it, even taking out was a big problem. Ye Chuan stopped and took out his Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, Iron Blooded Banner and other treasures to attack. Unfortunately, the golden sarcophagus remained unscathed. Perhaps, his cultivation base was limited and far inferior to Qing Tianhou, or the restriction on the golden sarcophagus become more stable as the sarcophagus was cracked, it was very hard to break it open. ¡°It seems I truly don¡¯t have fate with this treasure, I can only look at it but cannot eat.¡± Ye Chuan made a bitter smile and stopped attacking. He had tried everything, but he truly couldn¡¯t do anything. It seems he could only store it in Cyan Lotus Lamp, and in the future, after he had broken through to rank 7 Daoist Master realm, or even Half Sage realm, he had to try to break it open again. The great killing artifact left behind by ancient Great Monarch, it indeed was not so easy to obtain! ¡°Your Excellency, let me give it a try.¡± The old devil walked over and stood in front of Ye Chuan. Then, taking a few deep breaths, he used all his strength and raised his dragon headed cane. Instantly, an ear-deafening dragon roar resounded as this cane chopped down along with a vague phantom of a dragon. Boom! The golden sarcophagus still remained unscathed. The dragon headed cane in his hand however snapped into two. ¡°This¡­¡­¡± The old devil sweated profusely and his face turned green and then pale, looking at his snapped dragon headed cane. He wanted to show his powers in front of Ye Chuan, the result, not to mention achieving any result, he even broke his dragon headed cane. ¡°Not bad, Zhong Moli, since you nearly break open this sarcophagus, take this flying sword.¡± Ye Chuan patted the shoulder of the old devil and took out a flying sword with unique shape from his Cyan Lotus Space. It resembled a coiling poisonous snake. Blacksnake Flying Sword! Ye Chuan took out the treasure of Blacksnake Clan and bestowed it over to the old devil who had just lost dragon headed cane. ¡°This flying sword is called Blacksnake Flying Sword. It is ferocious and poisonous, don¡¯t easily use it. In addition, this flying sword seemed to be blessed by heaven defying expert before, so although I have already gotten rid of the brand left in it, you still have to be careful. Nourish it within your body for at least forty-nine days to completely refine it, then you can use it.¡± Ye Chuan instructed. Although Blacksnake Demongod and Ghost King Dushen had gone to Undead World, Blacksnake Monarch hidden behind Blacksnake Demongod still existed, so he didn¡¯t dare to easily use it. ¡°Yes, this subordinate understand, I will be careful!¡± The old devil bowed and took the Blacksnake Flying Sword. Then, feeling the energy fluctuation of this flying sword, he excitedly said, ¡°Your Excellency, this¡­¡­, is this the well-known treasure, Blacksnake Flying Sword, of the eastsea Blacksnake Clan?¡± Although Bellowing Waves Island was far away from the east sea, Blacksnake Clan of the east sea was infamous. This old devil knew it. When he traveled all around more than ten years ago, he had crossed path with Blacksnake Clan. At that time, he was almost caught in the trap of Blacksnake Clan and then he learned the power of Blacksnake Clan. ¡°Yes, this is the well-known Blacksnake Flying Sword of Blacksnake Clan.¡± Ye Chuan understood the meaning of the old devil. And after nodded his head, he added, ¡°Some time ago, I passed through the east sea and annihilated Blacksnake Clan on the way. That Blacksnake Clan isn¡¯t any good, but this flying sword is not bad, refine it properly. Now, let¡¯s go and see the third grave on the dotted line!¡± Ye Chuan put away the golden sarcophagus along with human faced snakes, Six Winged Golden Cicada and Hei Chui in his Cyan Lotus Lamp. Then, he advanced towards the third grave on the map. Behind, the old devil followed after putting away the Blacksnake Flying Sword within his body to refine it slowly. Following Ye Chuan, not to mention he got benefits, now he was confident in resolving his calamity. Even Blacksnake Clan that dominated the eastern sea was annihilated, what kind of power did Ye Chuan have? The old devil followed behind Ye Chuan but he was unable to calm down his heart. He clearly knew the power of Blacksnake Clan, as a result, he was shocked by the power of Ye Chuan again. Fortunately, he made a wise choice this time and didn¡¯t confront Ye Chuan. In the midst of the dense mist, the two flew forward, passing one grave after another. Here, even an experienced yao beast hunter would find it difficult to navigate. There was dense mist everywhere, only relying on the direction of the mountain, one could judge one¡¯s position. Ye Chuan advanced while frequently observing the Sea Demon Map. He continuously adjusted the direction as he rushed towards the third grave marked on the dotted line. The old devil had already broken into the first grave. He discovered a command plate of Sea Demon Clan inside. The second grave was the Great Monarch Grave, he had broken in not long ago. Although he didn¡¯t see any trace of Zhu Sijia and others, his harvest was great. As for the third grave, he didn¡¯t know what was waiting. The speed of Ye Chuan increased. He looked forward to meeting with Zhu Sijia and others and he also was looking forward to finding real Lost City. Chapter 535: Underground Cave After more than an hour, Ye Chuan and the old devil Outlying Islands Sanren arrived in front of another ancient grave. On the surface, this ancient grave was no different from other graves around. There was a dark tombpassage that was slanting downward towards the unknown destination and also a fragment of tombstone on the ground beside it. Looking over, the tombstone was blank. Nothing was written on it. Unlike the previous Great Monarch Grave, it seemed to be a nameless ordinary grave. ¡°It seems we are already late.¡± Ye Chuan looked around and noticed a lot of footprints along with broken pieces of weapons and armors. Clearly, many loose cultivators and devils had already broken into it. ¡°Yes, we are late, those fellows were truly fast, but something is wrong, how can they¡­¡­¡± The old devil suddenly looked at Ye Chuan and both of them had the same thought. In this tall mountain, there were countless such nameless graves, in addition, the entire place was shrouded with dense mist. As a result, it still took them a while to get here even though they had a map, but how did many loose cultivators and devils arrive here so quickly? Moreover, how did they find the correct grave accurately? ¡°Zhong Moli, are there many maps like this?¡± Ye Chuan asked. He was also puzzled. ¡°Impossible!¡± The old devil shook his head and said, ¡°I found this map many years ago in ancient ruins, it¡¯s the only copy, it is impossible to have the second map like this.¡± ¡°This is strange!¡± Ye Chuan squatted down and carefully examined the tombstone¡¯s fragment.It was neat and smooth, clearly, it was cut off by someone. Moreover, that attack was very powerful, there was a long blade scar on the ground. Looking at this blade scar, it seemed to be the handiwork of Qing Tianhou. That fellow had also arrived here. ¡°Your Excellency, it is very likely that that great devil Qing Tianhou had come here. Now, he might be inside this nameless grave, how about we first¡­¡­¡± The old devil Zhong Moli also saw the blade scar left behind by Qing Tianhou and was shocked. After pledging loyalty to Ye Chuan, although he saw the hope of resolving his calamity, the current cultivation realm of Ye Chuan was even inferior to his, if they encountered that fellow Qing Tianhou here, then they might not be his opponent even if they cooperated. ¡°No matter, let¡¯s go in and take a look. Here, wear this bamboo hat!¡± Ye Chuan took out a big bamboo hat from his Cyan Lotus Space and handed it over to the old devil. He then took the initiative to step into the dark tombpassage. And after taking a few steps, he suddenly felt as if the sky and earth were spinning, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in a different world. This was a huge underground cave. There were grotesque stones everywhere and stalactites were hanging down from the ceiling. There were also big and small crossroads at sixes and sevens along with a continuous sound of dripping water. The walls and ground were wet because of groundwater seeping out from the cracks of the rocks, and many places were covered with moss. This was not an illusion formation, rather a true world. One grave one world, there was a different world in every grave! Ye Chuan carefully looked around and began to advance slowly. The old devil followed behind him. Now, both of them were wearing a big bamboo hat and dressed as ordinary loose cultivators. Before long, a corpse lying on the puddle of water appeared in front of these two people. The old devil walked over, turned over this corpse to look and said, ¡°He is an overseas loose cultivator. He should be the person from the eastern sea area of Bellowing Waves Island. There are several wounds on his body, but the one that is truly fatal is only in one place. The old devil said while tearing the clothing of this corpse. On the abdomen, there was a fist-sized hole. The edge of this wound was uneven. It seemed that he was not pierced by any weapon, rather a claw of some kind of yao beast had torn it open. In the air, there was a thick aura of yao beast and they could even vaguely hear the roars of unknown yao beasts. The air suddenly seemed to get cold. The old devil shivered and quickly stood alertly. He was also an experienced great devil, but seeing the wound in the abdomen of the corpse, he still couldn¡¯t help feeling chill. Since there were many yao beasts in this strange underground cave, if they were careless, then not to mention an ordinary loose cultivator, even a peak Daoist Master realm expert might also die without knowing how he died. Ye Chuan also took out the Iron Blooded Banner, similarly feeling danger. He then carefully advanced. And to be on the safe side, he also summoned Six Winged Golden Cicada, making this little fellow explore the path ahead. ¡°Your Excellency, is this Golden Cicada your second avatar?¡± After walking for a while, the old devil couldn¡¯t help asking curiously. ¡°It is not my avatar, it¡¯s just an ordinary yao beast.¡± Ye Chuan explained briefly. Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets was his fate technique in this life, so he didn¡¯t want to speak much about it. The old devil readily took a hint and no longer asked more about it. Then, the two advanced silently for a while and discovered many corpses. Each corpse had different wounds and there were swords, armors and other weapons scattered on the ground. ¡°Your Excellency, look!¡± The old devil suddenly exclaimed. On the stone wall covered with moss, there were several blackened pits, in addition, there was lingering restriction fluctuation in the air. It seemed that some kind of treasure was sealed there, unfortunately, they two were too late. Someone else had already taken away the treasure. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan just took a glance and walked forward. There was a corpse whose blood had yet to dry and even was somewhat warm, this clearly showed that he had died not long ago. So increasing their speed, they might be able to catch up to others and take a share of the spoils. The two people sped up, walking deeper into this underground cave. Along the way, they encountered more corpses. There were loose cultivators with average cultivation base and there were also great devils with extraordinary cultivation base. The state of their corpses clearly showed that, some had died in a direct fight, and some died from an indescribable attack with a fist-sized hole on their stomach. After walking for a while, Ye Chuan suddenly stopped. In the front, there was another corpse, he similarly had a bloody hole on his stomach. But, unlike other corpses, this person was tall and big, moreover, he wore a distinctive battle armor with a rare wave pattern carved on it. He was not a loose cultivator, rather a sea demon warrior. Ye Chuan rushed up and wanted to use a secret technique to save this sea demon warrior. Unfortunately, the corpse was already cold. He had died for a long time. Now, even if he had an elixir of life, it was impossible to save him. Zhu Sijia, Sea Demon Patriarch and others had truly come here. What kind of dangers did they encounter? Where were they now? The complexion of Ye Chuan became ice-cold but his heart was tense. Chapter 536: Underground Square ¡°This person has also died from the surprise attack of that unknown yao beast.¡± The old devil walked forward and looking at the shocking wounds of this sea demon warrior, he said, ¡°Your Excellency, do you recognize this sea demon warrior? Or to say, you and Sea Demon Clan¡­¡­¡± Subconsciously, the old devils suddenly recalled an ancient legend of the nearby sea areas. According to the legend, the ancestor of Sea Demon Clan had left behind a sentence when they left their racial holy land. The holy land of Sea Demon Clan is already lost, but one day, under the leadership of an ancient sage, Sea Demon Clan will rise again and return to regain control over their holy land, becoming the master of the Lost City. Was the reincarnated Ye Chuan that legendary ancient sage? The old devil Zhong Moli was shocked thinking about the true identity of Ye Chuan. Originally, he firmly believed that Ye Chuan was the legendary Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect, but after following Ye Chuan, he slowly discovered that Ye Chuan was far beyond his expectation. His current cultivation realm was not high, but his insights and means were far beyond what ordinary experts could display. Although Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect was powerful and had already broken through to Half Sage realm several thousand years ago, he was still not considered an ancient sage! ¡°Yes, sea demon warriors and I are working together. Merely, in Bellowing Waves Island, I was responsible to deal with the army under Qing Tianhou and the sea demon warriors had left a step ahead.¡± Ye Chuan honestly told his relation with Sea Demon Clan. And while speaking, he placed the ice-cold corpse of sea demon warrior on the ground. He then suddenly stood up and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Zhong Moli, we are rushing forward!¡± Ye Chuan made a prompt decision. Without even burying the corpse of the sea demon warrior, he rushed forward in his fastest speed. And the old devil closely followed behind. Ye Chuan was worried about the safety of Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Little Long¡¯er and others. He circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and accelerated again and again, eventually, only his afterimages could be seen. His speed was faster than a flying sword. Even peak Daoist Master realm expert, the old devil Zhong Moli, was barely able to keep up the pace. And the more time passed, the more shocked he became upon witnessing the speed of Ye Chuan. All along the way, the two people encountered more and more corpses. Some had died from a chaotic battle with many wounds and some had died from the surprise attack of that unknown yao beast with a fist-sized bloody hole in their stomach. Among these corpses, some were empty-handed, but some still held flying swords, arm guards and so on treasures. Those treasures were flashing with distinctive cyan radiance. It seemed that they were the treasures seized from this underground cave. Unfortunately, life was necessary to enjoy a treasure. There were also some who had yet to die completely, they were crawling with great difficulty, hoping to leave this grave. Unfortunately, with a serious injury on their stomach and intestines hanging out, they only had one last breath. They were doomed to become a ghost of this grave. Ye Chuan was tense. The more corpses and seriously injured people he saw, the more uneasy he felt, and he was dying to immediately find Zhu Sijia and others and join them. Along the way, he saw many treasures, but he didn¡¯t stop. As a once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan had seen all kinds of peerless treasures. Other than the treasures on the level of cyan flames or 18 Demongods Banner of Great Monarch Grave, other treasures didn¡¯t even enter his eyes. As for the old devil following behind him, his eyes were red. He wanted to stop and grab those treasures of numerous victims, but seeing Ye Chuan was not stopping and was even increasing his speed, he was forced to suppress the allure of those treasures and keep up the pace. After running wildly for more than one hours, a huge underground open space appeared in front of them, or to say, was a huge underground square. In the square, there were over 100 meters tall stone pillars standing in large numbers. There was a majestic restriction fluctuation in the air. And upon the careful look, one could see that there were many pits on those stone pillars. Those were the places where treasures were sealed. At first glance, one could see that there were numerous stone pillars, and countless treasures were sealed within those stone pillars. It seemed that there were more treasures here compared to the Great Monarch Grave. Unfortunately, when Ye Chuan and the old devil arrived here, most of the treasures of the stone pillars were already taken away. There were corpses everywhere in the square. Among them, there were the corpses of loose cultivators, devils and also a kind of yao beast similar to apes and monkeys. They were not tall, only half the height of an adult human, but their claws had long nails which were curved like sharp iron hooks. Just looking at them, one¡¯s scalp would tingle. It seemed that the bloody holes on the stomach of the corpses they had encountered along the way were the doing of these yao beasts. After hesitation for a bit, Ye Chuan stepped into this underground square. He carefully looked around while walking. He wanted to look for any trace of Zhu Sijia and others. But, although there were many corpses on the ground, even after walking for a while, he didn¡¯t see any trace of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and the sea demon warriors. ¡°Your Excellency, look over there!¡± The old devil suddenly yelled. Ye Chuan turned around and looked towards the direction the old devil was pointing. He saw a golden pillar. Unlike other stone pillars, not only was it distinctive in color, it was also engraved with many runes on the surface. Other stone pillars had at least ten pits where treasures were sealed, but this golden stone pillar only had one pit. Moreover, the restriction fluctuation it emitted was the strongest. Unfortunately, the pit on it was empty. The treasure sealed in it was already taken away by someone and there was a time and space gate beside this stone pillar. And with the sharp eyes of Ye Chuan, he noticed a golden arrow near the time and space gate. ¡°We are late!¡± Ye Chuan walked over, and picking up this golden arrow, he placed it in his Cyan Lotus Lamp after examining it. Among the numerous experts that had broken into this racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, there were not many who used a bow as their weapon. And there was only one person who used this kind of rare golden arrow. He was State teacher Jiang Tunsheng who was above millions and below one in Daqin Dynasty! Since Jiang Tunsheng was here, would the other super expert Qing Tianhou miss this opportunity? Ye Chuan looked around, and sure enough, not long after, he noticed a stone pillar that was cut into two. The cut was clean, clearly cut by a blade slash. In addition, there was also a deep groove on the ground near this stone pillar, that was left behind by a powerful blade slash. It was definitely the handiwork of Qing Tianhou, sure enough, he was also here. Then, both of these experts had left hurriedly like a gust of wind. As for the treasure sealed within this golden stone pillar, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know who obtained it. A rustling sound suddenly resounded. Ye Chuan and the old devil looked up and discovered that they were surrounded by over a hundred apes like yao beasts without anybody knowing. In addition, even more were rushing over from afar, not from the ground, rather they were jumping from one stone pillar to another. They were coming from all direction. They didn¡¯t have any weapon in their hands, but each of them had terrifying sharp claws. Those claws were so sharp that they left behind a mark on the stone pillar when they just grabbed it. One should know that those stone pillars were hard enough to be impervious to ordinary flying swords. Chapter 537: Diamond Apes ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan put away Six Winged Golden Cicada that had returned from exploring ahead, then rushed towards the time and space gate beside the golden stone pillar. The true treasure of this grave was already taken away by the people who had come before and there was also no trace of Zhu Sijia and Sea Demon Clan, so staying behind just to entangle with these apes and monkeys didn¡¯t have any benefits. Even if they could find some treasures, all were low grade treasures. Ye Chuan made a quick decision and rushed towards the exit, thinking to immediately chase after Zhu Sijia and others. Roar! The apes and monkeys around suddenly roared at the same time, then rushed up in succession. Their speed was astonishing. ¡°Your Excellency, be careful, these are the legendary Diamond Apes.¡± The old devil suddenly rushed up and blocked those apes and monkeys. Then, dong, dong, several apes and monkeys were sent flying. After his weapon dragon headed cane was broken, the combat power of the old devil had reduced greatly without a proper weapon. But, as a peak Daoist Master realm expert, he was still able to display powerful combat power. He moved all around Ye Chuan, sending all approaching apes and monkeys flying away. His momentum was powerful, but he quickly felt the pressure. The apes and monkeys that were sent flying quickly got up and rushed towards them again. In addition, more and more apes and monkeys rushed over from all directions. These fellows were born with strangely thick skin and rough flesh, thus, even if a powerful punch landed on them, unless they were coincidently hit on their vital parts, they would just be sent flying, nothing more. It was hard to kill them in one shot. On the contrary, if their sharp claws hit them, then they would at least tore out skin and flesh. Soon, many bloody wounds appeared on the body of the old devil, the wound on his stomach was especially frightening. The sharp claw had nearly pierced through his stomach. Ye Chuan brandished Iron Blooded Banner in time and sent more than five apes and monkeys flying. Ye Chuan also made a move and cooperated with the old devil. Then, they attacked while rushing towards the time and space gate that was nearly seventy meters away now. Even the Iron Blooded Banner was hardly able to injure these monkeys and apes. Their skin and flesh were truly too thick. But compared to the punch of the old devil, his attack covered a large area. Still, more and more apes and monkeys rushed towards them, but, they were unable to approach close to Ye Chuan and the old devil, thus, their sharp claws were also useless. Originally, the old devil had rushed forward to protect Ye Chuan, but now, with the help of Ye Chuan, he was finally able to relax a little. Roar! An ape was so angry that it roared and suddenly charged forward, ignoring the Iron Blooded Banner in the hands of Ye Chuan and it tried using its head to confront the tough with toughness. ¡°Courting death!¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan were ice-cold. He circulated ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and swung the Iron Blood Banner. Bang, the head of this ape exploded like a rotten watermelon. Regardless of humans or apes, the skull was especially hard but also very fragile. One would certainly die once one¡¯s skull explodes. A casualty finally appeared in this fierce battle. The group of apes suddenly became chaotic. After witnessing the attack of Ye Chuan, they were somewhat frightened. But soon, they angrily beat their chest and rushed forward while roaring, initiating a desperate charge. Instantly, Ye Chuan felt a heavy pressure. He was unable to move even a step forward under the siege of numerous apes. The old devil ferociously attacked sparing no effort, but without a weapon, he was in a great disadvantageous position. Although the Blacksnake Flying Sword was powerful, he had yet to completely refine it, so he didn¡¯t dare to easily use it. ¡°Zhong Moli, take this!¡± Ye Chuan tossed the Iron Blooded Banner to the old devil and took out Dragon Slaying Flying Sword for himself. Then, along with a red flash, one ape was beheaded instantly. The Iron Blooded Banner was best to use in a group and chaotic battle. As for the sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, it was best to kill in one shot! Ye Chuan used Dragon Slaying Flying Sword with all his strength and focused on attacking, leaving all the defense to the old devil. Soon, they repelled the first wave of attacks. And taking advantage of the time when the attack of these apes had weakened, Ye Chuan took out another treasure, and a sea conch sound quickly reverberated throughout this underground square. Immediately afterward, numerous apes with dense killing slowly stopped. At the critical moment, Ye Chuan used Ancient Sea Conch again. In the Great Monarch Grave, this treasure had caused a miraculous effect. Similarly, these apes were also caught unprepared now. But, he didn¡¯t know why, although they were slowly stopping, they were still conscious, they continued to siege them, some even instinctively rushed forward as if they were innately immune to the sound attack. ¡°Run quickly!¡± Ye Chuan yelled. The duration of his sound attack was limited. If they don¡¯t run now and wait until the other apes also thoroughly regained their consciousness, then they would be in trouble. The old devil spared no effort to speed up. He then brandished the Iron Blooded Banner, wanting to send all the apes that were blocking their path flying. But, the speed of Ye Chuan was clearly faster, he ran forward and used his shoulder to send all the apes blocking his path flying. Instantly, the 70 meters distance quickly shrunk to less than 20 meters, as long as they could take a few steps more, they would enter the time and space passage and leave this ancient grave world. Roar! A loud roar suddenly resounded. Even the old devil with peak Daoist Master realm cultivation base felt tingling pain in his ears and almost vomited a mouthful of blood. In front of two people, an ape with golden fur had appeared all of a sudden. Compared to other apes and monkeys, its build was several times larger. It was like a mountain in front of them. Just its fists were bigger than a human head and its hooked nails were also longer than a chopstick. It looked especially terrifying. Diamond Ape King! At the final moment, the king of these apes and monkeys appeared and blocked these two people. Ye Chuan instantly felt that the momentum of this Diamond King was unexpectedly similar to the momentum of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, these two super experts, which made him feel that he wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat it. It seemed that it was at least equivalent to a Half Sage realm expert. Fortunately, this fellow was seriously wounded. They don¡¯t know who inflict those injuries to it, but this made Ye Chuan and the old devil see a slim chance of survival. This fellow, could it be that it suffered the joint attack of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng? Recalling the marks left behind by Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, the eyes of Ye Chuan shone. Chapter 538: The power of a king Roar! Without giving much time to think, Diamond Ape King angrily roared and rushed towards Ye Chuan and the old devil. Ye Chuan turned pale. He was unable to move his body under its pressure. The old devil also felt similar pressure and his face was also pale. Even, his legs were trembling. Although Diamond Ape King was huge in build, its speed was astonishing and its big fist was quickly approaching them. ¡°Your Excellency, you go first!¡± The old devil yelled and gnashing his teeth, he rushed forward and brandished the Iron Blooded Banner, trying to block this powerful attack of Diamond Ape King. Dong, the Iron Blooded Banner squarely hit Diamond Ape King, but, the latter stood still without any injury. The old devil however let out a muffled groan and vomited a mouthful of blood while taking a few steps back. A peak Daoist Master realm against Half Sage realm, this gap was difficult to surmount. The cultivation base of the old devil was also pretty good, he was the great devil of the nearby sea areas, unfortunately, this Diamond Ape King was even more powerful. It seemed that it was even more powerful than similarly Half Sage realm Plague Archfiend Abasi. And even though it was injured, its combat power was astonishing. Along with a roar, a powerful energy fluctuation spread all around. Smelling the blood of the old devil, numerous Diamond Apes roared from all sides and more and more came over as if the entire population of apes and monkeys inside this ancient grave world was gathering here. In the front, there was a time and space gate not far away. If they were able to step inside it, then they would exit this ancient grave world, but, the Diamond Ape King blocked their path. Now, if they attempted to breakthrough from the front, they had the certainty of only thirty percentage; if they tried to retreat, then they would be surrounded completely, next, they would be attacked from all sides and die. Both choices were very dangerous. What should they do? Ye Chuan was tense and quickly sized up the situation around him. Roar! Before Ye Chuan could observe carefully, the fierce Diamond Ape King charged again. This time, its momentum was even more powerful. After a roar, a golden light circulated around its body and its hooked nails also had a layer of golden light. They looked deadly like a great killing artifact. If its ten fingers even touched them, then they would definitely leave behind a bloody hole. ¡°Zhong Moli, left side, run to that rock in the middle of the pond, quick!¡± Ye Chuan roared, making a prompt decision. At the moment of life and death, he didn¡¯t retreat in fear, rather meet it head-on. He crazily circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and punched ferociously. Dong, the two fists collided. The fist of Ye Chuan and Diamond Ape King met each other. Diamond Ape King shook and its wounds began to bleed. As for Ye Chuan, he let out a muffled groan as he was sent flying and stopped only after colliding with several apes and monkeys. So powerful! Even the strength of 180,000 jin is unable to shake this fellow? Ye Chuan was shocked. But, he didn¡¯t have much time to think as the Diamond Ape King charged again. This time, it roared so loudly that the entire underground square shook and attacked Ye Chuan, wanting to crush the head of Ye Chuan. The Diamond Ape King whose wounds were reopened was furious and attacked. This time, its attack was even more ferocious. Although it was seriously injured, the power behind its attack was no laughing matter. It appeared as if it couldn¡¯t feel pain and it was just a killing puppet! A red light flashed as the Iron Blooded Banner was swung hard. At the critical moment of life and death, the old devil also made a move. He didn¡¯t vainly try to directly block this Diamond Ape King, rather he brandished Iron Blooded Banner and sent ordinary apes and monkeys that were blocking his path flying. He then gritted his teeth and rushed towards the pond while brandishing the Iron Blooded Banner. Behind, Ye Chuan rolled over on the ground, dodging the attack of Diamond Ape King and closely followed behind the old devil. Then, a red light flashed as Dragon Slaying Flying Sword flew out of the mouth of Ye Chuan and pierced the forehead of an ape. The two cooperated to break out of this encirclement. Water was dripping down everywhere in this underground cave. This underground square was no exception, in addition, all water seemed to have flowed here from everywhere around this underground cave, forming a pond. This pond didn¡¯t look deep, and there were half submerged several boulders in it. But can such a small pond stop this ferocious Diamond Ape King? The old devil was nervous and afraid. He didn¡¯t know why Ye Chuan had ordered to break out from the direction with this small pond, but he didn¡¯t hesitate to comply with his instruction. After colliding with Diamond Ape King, his purlicue was torn, but at this critical moment, he exploded with his peak Daoist Master realm cultivation base and brandishing Iron Blooded Banner, he sent flying all apes and monkeys blocking the path, forcibly opening the path ahead. He was responsible to sweep ahead and Ye Chuan was responsible for the defense. His Dragon Slaying Flying Sword killed all the approaching apes and monkeys. Roar! The Diamond Ape King roared and charged again, instantly reducing the distance between them to less than three meters. His steps instantly shook the entire underground square as it ferociously chased after Ye Chuan and the old devil. ¡°Run quickly!¡± Ye Chuan pushed the old devil and immediately afterward, he jumped hight and against collided head-on with Diamond Ape King. An invisible shockwave spread out with their two fits as the center. Instantly, the entire underground square shook, the towering stone pillars also swayed as if they were about to collapse. The apes and monkeys who were too late to dodge were sent flying far away. The Diamond Ape King roared as it heavily fell to the ground. The wounds on its body worsened and bled profusely. Now, its entire body was covered with blood. As for Ye Chuan, he was sent flying like a kite with broken string and fell into the cold pond. His right hand hung down loosely and he couldn¡¯t even move it. That one punch of the Diamond Ape King had nearly crushed the right-half of his body. After condensing the tenth Heaven Swallowing Talisman, Ye Chuan had finally met an opponent whose physical strength was above his. Compared to Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, this Diamond Ape King was not necessarily comparable to them and its cultivation base was also not necessarily comparable to them, but its physical strength was definitely at the level of Half Sage realm. Even after such heavy injuries, it had such strength, if it was not injured, then what kind of strength would this ape have? Ye Chuan was shocked in his heart. He then gritted his teeth and used Cyan Feather Technique to fly to a large rock in the middle of this pond, and stood back to back with the old devil. At that time, roars resounded as numerous apes and monkeys rushed over from all directions, encircling them in this small pond. Chapter 539: Put one’s all into the figh t In the blink of an eye, the small pond was filled with ferocious apes and monkeys. In addition, more and more apes and monkeys were still rushing over in succession, and the pond and its surroundings were completely crowded with apes and monkeys. With this kind of encirclement, even a Half Sage expert might find it difficult to break out. Ye Chuan took a glance at the time and space gate and his heart became heavier and heavier. From this pond, the time and space gate beside the golden pillar was roughly 300 meters away. Even if he was alone, it might be difficult to break out of this encirclement and rush to that time and space gate using Peerless Style Technique let alone bringing along injured old devil Outlying Islands Sanren. Dong, dong, dong¡­¡­ a series of heavy footsteps came. The apes and monkeys around quickly moved to two sides, making a way. Then, Diamond Ape King stepped towards the pond. Although its entire body was dripping with blood and its injuries had worsened, its killing intent was soaring as if a mad god of slaughter. Upon seeing this, even the experienced old devil was nervous and asked with a pale face, ¡°Your Excellency, what should we do?¡± ¡°I have a way, you just wait for my orders!¡± Ye Chuan lowered his voice. His right hand was severely injured and he was unable to use it, thus he could no longer contend against the Diamond Ape King. This situation was very bad, but he was still very calm and his eyes were blazing like a torch. The more critical the situation, the calmer Ye Chuan became. This action of hastily leading the old devil to hide in this small pond was not a reckless act in desperation, rather there was a deeply hidden killer move. Naturally, Ye Chuan was also uncertain whether this killer move would work or not in this critical moment, so he was also equally tense. This Diamond Ape King was honestly too powerful! The Diamond Ape King was getting closer and closer. When it reached the edge of the pond, it stopped and ferociously glared at Ye Chuan and the old devil. A powerful pressure descended from the air and the killing intent was even stronger. The old devil sweated profusely. He wanted to become calm like Ye Chuan, but the hand holding Iron Blooded Banner involuntarily trembled. If they fell into the hands of this cruel Diamond Ape King, then they had only one end, death! ¡°Boy, you are really strong, you are the third person that was actually able to take me head-on!¡± The Diamond Ape King suddenly opened its mouth. Its voice was loud and strong. ¡°But, since you break into the territory of our Diamond Apes, you need to die.¡± ¡°As for the other two experts, were they a young man with halberd and a middle-aged man with a bow?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Yes, you know them?¡± The Diamond Ape King was surprised, soon after that, it laughed, ¡°Hahaha, this is better, since those two fellows have left after snatching our Golden Seal, you will stay behind and pay for it!¡± The Diamond Ape King roared and jumped into the pond. It then rushed towards Ye Chuan and the old devil with dense killing intent. Ye Chuan however stood still. He was very calm. As for the old devil beside him, he however was very nervous and firmly held Iron Blooded Banner, ¡°Your Excellency¡­¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan were blazing like a torch, staring coldly at the ferocious Diamond Ape King. 20 meters, 15 meters¡­¡­, the Diamond Ape King was getting closer and closer. The old devil forcibly suppressed his impulse to make a move and obeyed the instruction of Ye Chuan. But, looking at this ferocious Diamond Ape King getting closer and closer, his teeth chattered. Not only was he very nervous, he was also clearly afraid like never before. Ye Chuan however still stood still, letting Diamond Ape King approach. But, when the latter was less than 10 meters away, his eyes flashed as he suddenly made a move. A hint of sliver light suddenly flew out from within the body of Ye Chuan and entered the waters at lightning speed. The footsteps of Diamond Ape King stopped. When its big eyes had caught the sight of that silver light, it felt danger, but in the next moment, it forcibly suppressed that feeling and continued to advance, then exerting strength in its toes, it prepared to jump over. But, at that time, the calm water surface suddenly seethed. And before the Diamond Ape King could jump, bolts of lightning suddenly appeared on the water surface and formed a lightning net. Super Electric Eel! Ye Chuan had summoned the Super Electric Eel, this was his final killer move! On the land, this Super Electric Eel was not much stronger than an ordinary Evil Eyed Cow Demon, but in places with water, it was powerful enough to become an overlord of waters. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± The Diamond Ape King screamed and its body trembled. All of its furs also stood erect, then it fell into the water with a bang. Although its physical body was doughty enough, it had yet to break out from the limits of the physical body. In addition, suddenly encountering lightning bolts in the water, its entire body was numb and paralyzed. ¡°Zhong Moli, quickly seize it, catch it alive!¡± Ye Chuan roared. Immediately afterward, the old devil grabbed the empty void and pulled the Diamond Ape King over. ¡°Well done!¡± Ye Chuan immediately used a technique and dripped a drop of essence blood into the forehead of this Diamond Ape King. Escaping from this ancient grave world was nothing, even obtaining the treasures was nothing, but, being able to tame this Diamond Ape King using Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, this was the true harvest! Ye Chuan was also seriously injured, but at the critical moment, he took the risk of losing his life to tame this fellow! A Diamond Ape King whose strength was far above him, if he tamed it, then he would have another strong follower whose strength as even higher than Plague Archfiend Abasi! During danger, Ye Chuan would always be very cautious, but when the opportunity arises, he was bolder than anyone, he would dare to take the risk to grasp that opportunity. Along with angry roars, the numerous apes and monkeys around rushed forward in succession. But, on the water surface, there were many crackling bolts of lightning. All the apes and monkeys that stepped into the water became numb and paralyzed without exception. And in an instant, numerous apes and monkeys fell and the remaining fellows were so frightened that they didn¡¯t dare to take a step forward. They just roared angrily at the edge of the pond. On the rock located in the middle of the pond, the forehead of Ye Chuan was drenched with sweat as he dripped another drop of essence blood into the glabella of Diamond Ape King. If he successfully tamed this fellow, he could truly charge forward. But, if the taming failed, then the consequences would be grave. In such a close distance, if Diamond Ape King suddenly went on a rampage, then even the Super Electric Eel wouldn¡¯t have time to help him. Chapter 540: Golden Stick Compared to Ye Chuan, the old devil was even more nervous. After they were intercepted by the Super Electric Eel, the remaining apes and monkeys quickly thought of a way. They roared and threw heavy rocks at them. And with hundreds of such rocks flying towards them, how could he block? Even if those rocks were blocked, after these rocks fell into the water, they would become a foothold for these apes to rush over to this boulder. At that time, a fierce battle would occur! The heartbeat of Ye Chuan also accelerated upon seeing the movement of those apes. If he missed this chance to break out, would he have a second chance? Ye Chuan had to consider this issue. Now, since the most powerful Diamond Ape King was down, it was the best chance to break out of the encirclement, but if he left just like this, then he would miss this opportunity to have a super expert. Looking around, Ye Chuan quickly thought of a way. He used a technique, preparing to put collapsed Diamond Ape King away into his Cyan Lotus Space. After it was confined into Cyan Lotus Space, this fellow would have nowhere to run and he would eventually tame it. A cyan light flashed and the Diamond Ape King was shrouded with a layer of cyan light, but, just before it was put away, this fellow woke up. Its gaze was somewhat blurred for a moment, then it knelt in front of Ye Chuan, frightening the old devil, and said, ¡°Golden Kingdom¡¯s defender, Jin Teluo, pays respect to Your Excellency!¡± The ferocious Diamond Ape King was finally subdued by Ye Chuan. Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, this technique truly didn¡¯t disappoint him. Henceforth, his Yao Beast Legion has another expert. Ye Chuan had always wanted an expert who could take the role of the vanguard and he finally found it. Rain Demon was good at assassination, Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was good at the chaotic battle, surprise attack and scheming, and Plague Archfiend Abase¡¯s strength was superior, but he was somewhat similar to Old Demon of Mount Yin, he was more adept in a chaotic battle. But, the addition of this Diamond Ape King filled up the deficiencies of Yao Beast Legion. Hereafter, even if they encountered a powerful expert, they would be able to charge ahead! Ye Chuan was very excited. As for the old devil who was standing beside him, he had his eyes wide open in disbelief, and soon after that, he also became excited. As for the monkeys and apes with dense killing intent at the edge of the pond, they put down the rocks and the fierce battle quickly ended. ¡°Jin Teluo, what did you say? This is Golden Kingdom? Where is the gold?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Yes, this world is called Golden Kingdom. All the treasures here are made up of gold. But, hatefully, practically everything has been robbed, even the Golden Seal has been robbed.¡± The Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo replied. When he mentioned the treasures of Golden Kingdom, this guardian was filled with detest. ¡°Who robbed it?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°It was that young man holding a halberd. In addition, after taking away the Golden Sea, he even cut off the stone pillar with one slash!¡± The Diamond Ape King hatefully said. Ye Chuan immediately understood, sure enough, it was that fellow Qing Tianhou. Speaking about Qing Tianhou, the countenance of this ferocious Diamond Ape King changed. There was even a hint of fear in his eyes. He had a lingering fear of Qing Tianhou¡¯s sword techniques. He had long tempered his physical body so much that his physical body was nearly invulnerable. Average people with a sword couldn¡¯t even hurt a single strand his fur even if he stood still. But, Qing Tianhou was completely different, his one slash would draw blood. The injuries on his body were left behind by Qing Tianhou. ¡°What kind of treasure is Golden Seal? What kind of power does it have?¡± Ye Chuan frowned and asked again. Qing Tianhou was already powerful enough, now that he had seized an ancient treasure, Ye Chuan feared that his combat power would rise even further and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng might not be able to suppress him. Moreover, if he broke through to Sage realm, that would be even more troublesome. Not to mention Cloud Mist Sect would be in danger, the entire mainland might be shrouded in his shadow. Even the mighty Daqin Dynasty might be defeated and fall. Wilderness World is chaotic and the situation is already in disorder, but Qing Tianhou who had come from the Outer World might make this great chaos befall in advance! I don¡¯t have much time! Ye Chuan took a deep breath as he felt a heavy pressure. ¡°Golden Seal is a peerless treasure left behind by the ancient Golden Great Monarch. After one thoroughly refined it, one can control Golden Kingdom to confine enemies. After that, one can use the power of restrictions to crush them to death. Your Excellency, wait a minute.¡± The Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo suddenly turned around and left. He walked to the front of the golden pillar located at the center of the underground square. He then hugged this thick stone pillar. What does he want to do? Was he unwilling to leave this place, or¡­¡­ Ye Chuan and the old devil were somewhat confused, but in the next moment, they had their eyes wide open. The Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo suddenly exerted strength and shook this golden pillar. It appeared as if he wanted to uproot this golden pillar. Has this ape gone crazy? The two were shocked. The numerous apes and monkeys around were also shocked. They then roared as if they were excited. The ground suddenly shook. The Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo however just roared and continued to shake this huge golden pillar, which in turn, shook this entire underground square. What kind of innate strength is this? This! The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk, and he was shocked in his heart. Every time he condensed a Heaven Swallowing Talisman, he could gain the strength of 18,000 jin. Now, he had ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans, so he had the strength of 180,000 jin, which was sufficient to defeat all the experts of the same realm. But. Compared to this Diamond Ape King, he was inferior. This guardian of Golden Kingdom, the king of Diamond Apes, truly was amazing! Roar! The Diamond Ape King roared and along with the shaking of the ground, he truly uprooted the golden pillar. And immediately after it was uprooted, many runes on this huge golden pillar shone and this huge golden pillar began to shrink, instantly becoming a golden stick that was as tall as a human. And at the same time, the entire underground square swayed and many cracks began to appear on the ground, in addition, big and small pieces of rocks and muds began to fall down from above. This huge underground cave began to collapse. ¡°Your Excellency, this place is collapsing, we must leave!¡± The Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo called out to Ye Chuan, then roared. After that, numerous apes and monkeys rushed into the time and space gate, quickly leaving this grave world. Ye Chuan and the old devil also didn¡¯t dare to waste time, they quickly rush over. Along with rumbling sounds, large and small pieces of mud and rocks fell from above and the entire pond was completely buried. At that time, a silver light flew out of the pond and entered into the body of Ye Chuan. The Super Electric Eel was fast. It flew out just before the pond was completely buried. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Looking back at the magnificent underground square one last time, Ye Chuan yelled and entered into the time and space gate. The old devil and Diamond Ape King quickly followed after him. And after the three of them left, the entire underground square thoroughly collapsed along with a loud rumbling sound. Chapter 541: Life is like a cage After a while, a group of people appeared in the high mountain shrouded with dense mist. Originally, this thick mist made people feel uneasy, dangerous and unfathomable, not knowing what kind of dangers lied ahead. But now, upon seeing this familiar dense mist, Ye Chuan and the old devil felt relieved. This mountain shrouded with dense mist was also dangerous, but how can it be comparable to the worlds inside the graves? One grave one world, no one know what kind of world was inside the grave, moreover, what kind of danger they would face. The old devil wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just a moment ago, when he was standing on that boulder, surrounded by numerous apes and monkey, he truly had thought that he would die for certain. Fortunately, he was able to escape with his life. Taming the overlord of waters Super Electric Eel, taming Diamond Ape King¡­¡­, what kind of power was that? Ye Chuan, who exactly was he? The old devil looked at Ye Chuan beside him. He was shocked and was completely conquered in his heart. Now, he was sure of one thing, Ye Chuan was definitely not a younger generation disciple of some small sect. He was definitely a great personage who had reincarnated. But, it was hard to tell whether he was the reincarnation of Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect or not. After seeing the means of Ye Chuan, the old devil had a vague feeling in his heart. The previous incarnation of Ye Chuan was definitely far superior to the Taishang Elder of Thunderbolt Sect, either he was a great personage of certain big sect, or was a certain heaven-defying loose cultivator, or even¡­¡­ The old devil didn¡¯t dare to think much about it. Fortunately, he made a wise decision to not oppose Ye Chuan, rather chose to follow him. The chaos was coming, so compared to entering the seclusion cultivation session, it was very important to resolve his calamity first. ¡°Your Excellency, where is this?¡± The Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo looked around and asked in confusion. More than 300 apes and monkeys behind him were also similarly confused, they were also a little scared. Ye Chuan was surprised, ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. We have never walked out of the Golden Kingdom.¡± Diamond Ape King shook his head and added, ¡°Ever since ancient times, our Diamond Ape race has lived in the Golden Kingdom. No one has ever gone out. This time, after the Golden Seal was taken away, this time and space gate appeared.¡± The Diamond Ape King looked somewhat depressed. After he took the golden stick, the entire Golden Kingdom collapsed. Now, they don¡¯t have any place to return. But until now, they don¡¯t know that the Golden Kingdom where their Diamond Ape race had lived from generation to generation was in fact just a grave. ¡°It is two completely different worlds inside and outside the time and space gate. Now, we are standing on a mysterious mountain. Allegedly, this is the racial holy land of the ancient Sea Demon Clan. There are countless treasures sealed here.¡± Ye Chuan replied. He sympathized with this Diamond Ape King to some extent, and didn¡¯t directly tell the complete cruel truth. In everyone¡¯s heart, their hometown was the best place. If he told them that the Golden Kingdom that their race had lived from generation to generation was actually just a cold grave, then he feared that they would find it hard to accept. But the fact was cruel. Ye Chuan wondered what kind of superior technique the owner of that Golden Kingdom used to confine Diamond Ape Clan there. Speaking from the positive side, Diamond Ape Clan was the guardian of the Golden Kingdom, but speaking from the negative side, they were actually just a prisoner. If it was not for the outsiders breaking in and taking away the Golden Seal, opening the time and space gate, Ye Chuan feared that the Diamond Ape Clan would have been kept in dark for generations to come, always thinking that the Golden Kingdom was the entire world. A frog at the bottom of the well thinks that the well was the entire world, but in fact, it was not that the frog didn¡¯t want to jump out and look at the bigger outside world, rather it was just enclosed inside from one generation to the next. Diamond Ape Race was like that, but weren¡¯t the people of Wilderness World the same? From the side of Outer World, weren¡¯t the people of Wilderness World just a frog in a well too? Or, Wilderness World was just another grave world? Ye Chuan suddenly had such thoughts and his longing for greater strength become even stronger. In his past life, he concealed the heaven and set foot at the highest pinnacle of Wilderness World, but he had never been to the Outer World. At that time, he didn¡¯t know the existence of Outer World for certain. Now, after millions of years, he was back. The enemies of his former life had already disappeared into the Outer World, and his followers had also disappeared without a trace. Perhaps, they had already died, or perhaps, they had similarly gone to the Outer World. Still, in this life, he will definitely explore the Outer World and will create glory greater than his previous one! ¡°Your Excellency, then where are we going now?¡± The coarse voice of Diamond Ape King made Ye Chuan came back to his senses. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t reply immediately. He took out the Sea Demon Map and after taking a look, he pointed at a small dark dot and said, ¡°Here, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan used a technique and put away numerous apes and monkeys into the Cyan Lotus Space, then took the initiative to leave, directly heading towards the forth grave marked on the map. In the Golden Kingdom of this ancient grave, he had found a corpse of sea demon warrior. This showed that he was closer to Zhu Sijia¡¯s group. So, if he hurried forward, then he might be able to catch up to them in the fourth grave and meet successfully! Thinking of ruthless Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, these two super experts, Ye Chuan was worried about the safety of Zhu Sijia and others. So, without wasting any time even to rest, he led the old devil and Diamond Ape King and rushed forward. While rushing forward, he took out medicinal pills from the Cyan Lotus Space and gave them to Diamond Ape King to treat his injuries. In the third grave world, they neither find any treasures nor they met Zhu Sijia and others, but Ye Chuan was able to tame Diamond Ape King, adding a powerful follower under him. Now, after the injuries of the latter were healed, he would be able to give a good battle even if he encountered Qing Tianhou. In the dense mist, three people rushed towards the summit of the mountain. Ye Chuan was in the rushing in the forefront leaving behind afterimages. The old devil was behind him. But, slowly, he was overtaken by the Diamond Ape King who was in the last before. The latter was not only strong, his endurance and speed were also amazing. After running for a while, the old devil was already panting for breath, but the Diamond Ape King¡¯s breathing was still smooth. ¡°Jin Teluo, come, let¡¯s see who is faster!¡± Ye Chuan circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and accelerated, disappearing into the dense mist. ¡°Hahaha, okay!¡± The Diamond Ape King roared with laughter and accelerated to catch up. The two people, one in the front and the other in the back, disappeared without a trace. Behind them, the old devil was desperately trying to keep up. It was not that his speed was slow, instead, the speed of Ye Chuan and Diamond Ape King was too abnormal. When all was said and done, Diamond Ape King was a Half Sage realm yao beast, but what about Ye Chuan? Clearly, his cultivation was even inferior to the old devil¡¯s, but his speed was much faster, the old devil was already finding it difficult to keep up. Chapter 542: Reunion After running crazily for half an hour, Ye Chuan and Diamond Ape King finally arrived in front of the fourth grave marked on the sea Demon Mark. The contest between the two of them was also over. After leaving the God Burial Valley, Ye Chuan had paid special attention to strengthen his physical body. He had tempered his physical body again and again. Thus, compared to the other experts in the same realm, his physical body was exceptionally powerful and his speed was also extraordinary. But, compared to this Diamond Ape King, he still had a long way to go. Even though he raised his speed to the extreme limit, Diamond Ape King was able to keep up. The two waited for a while and the old devil finally arrived. His face was red and was panting. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t immediately enter this cave. He carefully observed this fourth grave first. This grave was not big. On the surface, it was no different from the surrounding ordinary graves. But, upon a closer look, one could see that many unknown types of wildflowers were grown on this grave. It was full of vitality. There was also a tombstone in front of this grave, but someone had cut into two pieces. Putting those two pieces together, one could see that the word ¡°Poinsettia¡± was carved on it. What does it mean? A gloomy and ice-cold grave is actually called poinsettia? Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo exclaimed, but Ye Chuan and the old devil Zhong Moli just remained silent. They felt that this grave was strange and their heart was restless. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± After hesitating for a bit, Ye Chuan took the initiative to enter the dark tombpassage. Other than anonymous wildflowers grown all over, there were many footsteps around this grave. Clearly, many loose cultivators and devils had also come here. Their aura was still lingering in the air. This showed that they were here until just a moment ago. It seems that they were late. Ye Chuan was worried about the safety of Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others. And after he boldly entered, the old devil Zhong Moli and Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo also closely followed after him. After feeling as if the sky and earth were spinning, the three people arrived at another world. When they opened their eyes, they saw bright red everywhere. There were big red flowers everywhere. On the ground, there were countless vines, bushes and weeds. But, all of them had red flowers of various size. Some just had a nail-sized red flower, but some had a washbasin-sized red flower. The red color decorated the entire world. In addition, there was a strong fragrance of flowers in the air. At first glance, this bright red grave world looked strangely beautiful, but upon a second look, one would feel that these flowers were too red in color. This red color was so bewitching that it made one feel restless. Even the fragrance of flowers in the air also made people feel somewhat strange. Ye Chuan stood still. He had boldly entered the grave, but upon seeing this unusually bewitching strange world, he became very careful. At that time, a cold wind blew over and the red flowers swayed as pleasant fragrance assailed their nose. In an instant, they felt as if thousands of charming women wearing red cloth were coming towards them. Oh! Ye Chuan issued a thunderous roar and alertly said, ¡°Be careful, this is an illusory formation!¡± Ye Chuan was very experienced, he quickly sensed the danger. This world of red flowers was unusually beautiful, but if one stares at these red flowers for a long time, one would lose oneself into an illusion. Compared to the previous three grave worlds, this grave world was especially dangerous. The entire grave world was a mixture of truth and falsehood. Even Ye Chuan was unable to differentiate which flower was real and which flower was fake. The old devil Zhong Moli and Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo woke up with a start and started to sweat profusely. If it was not for Ye Chuan¡¯s warning, they might have truly lost themselves in an illusion. Another cold wind blew over, bringing along vague screaming and fighting sounds. Ye Chuan carefully listened and suddenly rushed towards the north, ¡°Over there, follow me!¡± The old devil and Diamond Ape King immediately followed. They didn¡¯t dare to be careless. Not to mention the old devil Zhong Moli who would not dare to go west if Ye Chuan instructed him to go east as he was already convinced by the means of Ye Chuan, even Diamond Ape King whose strength was far higher than Ye Chuan similarly obeyed his order. He had never left the Golden Kingdom before. He had always believed that the Golden Kingdom was the entire world and he was omnipotent in the past. But now that he was outside, he learned that there was always the sky beyond a sky and he had many shortcomings. If he was careless, then he wouldn¡¯t even know how he died. For Diamond Ape King who had never left Golden Kingdom, Wilderness World was a foreign world, and every step was especially dangerous! Ye Chuan brandished Iron Blooded Banner and rush ahead in the front. The other two closely followed him behind. But, even after half an hour, there was no change in the scenery around them as if they were standing still. But, along the way, they met many unfortunate fellows. Many loose cultivators and devils who had entered before them had already fallen in the illusory formation. Some were circling around a red flower until they collapse in exhaustion; some had lost their mind and were crazily killing each other. There were some fellows who unexpectedly rushed towards Ye Chuan¡¯s group, the result, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t even need to make a move. Diamond Ape King crushed them to death in one move. Now, Diamond Ape King had the Golden Stick. It was the main supporting pillar of Golden Kingdom and also a powerful great killing weapon. It used to be the weapon of ancient Golden Great Monarch. It alone weights hundreds of thousands jin, and with the addition of the innate extraordinary strength of Diamond Ape King, its power was terrifying. No matter how many ordinary loose cultivators and devils rushed towards them, they would be crushed to death. Unfortunately, since the crucial Golden Seal was taken away by Qing Tianhou, many powerful techniques couldn¡¯t be displayed. The three people accelerated, and after another half an hour, they finally caught up to a large group. In this valley full of bright red flowers, numerous loose cultivators and devils were fighting for a kind of flower growing on the cliff. These flowers were especially bright-colored and their appearance vaguely resembled a young girl¡¯s face. After obtaining these flowers, some hastily used a technique to store them, preparing to use them for refining pills after leaving this place, and some were hastily squeezing them into their mouth and swallow them whole, then their energy fluctuation would instantly increase vastly. ¡°Demonic Vermillion Flower, Your Excellency, these are the legendary Demonic Vermillion Flowers!¡± The old devil exclaimed in excitement and his gaze became fanatic. In the Overseas World, there were legends of many worldly treasures. Among them, there was a legend about Demonic Vermillion Flowers, this kind of especially bewitching flowers in front of them. According to the legend, this flower could not only solidify the foundation, vastly increasing the cultivation, after swallowing it, one would also stay young forever. In addition, it could even resurrect the dead and heal any kind of injury. This old devil was already fed up hearing this kind of legends as he thought that they were just a legend, this kind of treasure wouldn¡¯t exist in this world! But, beyond his expectation, the legendary Demonic Vermillion Flowers truly appeared before his eyes. Diamond Ape King tightly held Golden Stick and was eager to make a move. Ye Chuan was also excited, but not because of this legendary flower that could make one stay young forever, rather he saw a few familiar figures. In this valley, Qing Tianhou with his halberd was unstoppable, but now, some people were fighting against him. His opponents were none other than Rain Demon, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Plague Archfiend. In this one against three battle, he still held the absolute advantage. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were forced to a corner and were in danger. After a lot of hardships and waiting, they finally reunited! Ye Chuan was excited. He then circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and released his energy fluctuation with great fighting spirit! Chapter 543: A hard battle Seeing Rain Demon, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Plague Archfiend were pushed to a corner, Ye Chuan rushed forward, but someone else was faster than him. Roar! Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo roared loudly and raising the Golden Stick, he rushed straight towards the unstoppable Qing Tianhou. When enemies come face to face, their eyes blaze with hate! Among the numerous experts that broke into the Golden Kingdom, Qing Tianhou was the fiercest one to seize the treasures. He killed countless diamond apes who guarded the Golden Kingdom and he was also the one who snatched the Golden Seal that originally was inlaid in the Golden Stick. Moreover, most of the wounds of Diamond Ape King was also the handiwork of Qing Tianhou. So, Diamond Ape King nursed deep hatred against Qing Tianhou. And now, upon seeing Qing Tianhou, he rushed up even before Ye Chuan ordered. The Diamond Ape Kind rush at full speed, instantly covered the distance of over a hundred meters. His speed was faster than before when he was competing with Ye Chuan. As for all those who were in his path, they were directly sent flying before they could clearly see what was going on. Diamond Ape King finally displayed his true speed. The eyes of Ye Chuan shone and his fighting spirit rose further. In the next moment, he put away Iron Blooded Banner and disappeared from the spot. As for the old devil, he was dumbfounded for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses and then, pretending to be an ordinary loose cultivator, rushed forward, looking for a chance to strike in secret. Ordinarily, even if he was given a leopard¡¯s guts, he wouldn¡¯t have dared to go against the invincible Qing Tianhou, but it was different now. Once Ye Chuan, Diamond Ape King and others suppressed Qing Tianhou, the chance to strike will appear. At that time, this old devil will not be the only one who will be delighted to drop stones on someone who had fallen into a well! Just after he had forced Rain Demon, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Plague Archfiend to a corner, Qing Tianhou suddenly sensed something and turned around. Then, he just saw a dazzling golden light. And this golden light hit him so hard that he felt as if a mountain had collided against him. The speed of Diamond Ape King was astonishing. He instantly arrived in front of Qing Tianhou and ferociously swung his stick. The strength behind this stick was astonishing, just the shockwave it sent rocks flying. Ding! The heavy Golden Stick and the halberd collided. Qing Tianhou was Qing Tianhou, if an average person was in his place, then even if he wasn¡¯t crushed to death by this stick, then he would have gotten flustered. Qing Tianhou however leisurely swung his halberd, directly blocking the Golden Stick of Diamond Ape King. His leisurely attack was unexpectedly not any inferior to the attack of Diamond Ape King. Diamond Ape King was forced five meters back. He then looked up and saw Golden Stick was unscathed, and the halberd in the hand of Qing Tianhou was also similarly unscathed. The strength of both sides was astonishing and their weapon was also equally powerful. ¡°Eh, it¡¯s you?¡± After clearly seeing Diamond Ape King, Qing Tianhou was surprised. Just a moment ago, he had almost instinctively made a move to block the Golden Stick, and at this moment, clearly seeing who had made a surprise attack at him, his expression gradually sunk. In the Golden Kingdom, this Diamond Ape King was unreasonable and hard to deal with. The latter had nearly dragged him inside the Golden Kingdom and trapped him there. At that time, this Diamond Ape King was unarmed, and now, he has a powerful killing weapon that was not any inferior to his halberd. It would be even harder to deal with him! Roar! The Diamond Ape King roared, and without any superfluous words, directly attacked again. Ding, ding, ding, his attacks were getting more and more ferocious and his power was also getting bigger and bigger. For a moment, Qing Tianhou was locked together with him. Boom, the Golden Stick accidentally smashed the cliff and this hard cliff was cracked. The loose cultivators and devil who were fighting against each other for Demonic Vermillion Flowers stopped at the same time and looked over with their eyes wide open in shock. After breaking into the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, Qing Tianhou had always been unstoppable. Even State Teacher Jiang Tusheng was unwilling to casually make a move against him. So, in people¡¯s mind, Qing Tianhou was unstoppable Slaughter God, but now, he finally met a strong opponent! ¡°You damned monkey, do you still think this Lord Hou can¡¯t kill you?¡± After he was forced to retreat to the cliff under the attack of Diamond Ape King, Qing Tianhou was angry. He first used his halberd to parry the Golden Stick, then initiated a series of attacks. All of a sudden, now he held the advantageous position and Diamond Ape King was forced to retreat. One slash had brushed past his chest, causing a bloody rain. That blade slash had nearly cut Diamond Ape King into half. Diamond Ape King was valiant, no matter the speed or strength, he was far superior to Ye Chuan, but compared to Qing Tianhou, this super expert that came from the Outer World, he was still slightly inferior. In the beginning, going all out, he was still able to gain an advantage, but in a long battle, he was not the opponent of Qing Tianhou. He repeatedly fell into a dangerous position, and he could barely protect his vital parts. Very soon, he was covered with bloody wounds. There was no suspense to this fierce battle, but everyone wanted to see whether Diamond Ape King could seriously injure Qing Tianhou before he died. The number of onlooking people increased. They tensely watched this fierce battle. Qing Tianhou was too strong, with this Slaughter God here, he would seize most of the treasures. He ate the meat and the others could only drink the remaining soup. Even when drinking the remaining soup, they would have their heart in their mouth as they might lose their head. No one dared to forget how ruthless Qing Tianhou was. Diamond Ape King would definitely lose, but if he was able to land a deadly move before his death, then everyone would definitely be satisfied! Everyone hoped that the counterattack of Diamond Ape King was a success, but they just watched, no one dared to lend a helping hand. Everyone wanted benefits, but no one wanted to pay the price. Especially fighting against Qing Tianhou, slightest bit of carelessness would lead to the death, who would be willing to help? Rain Demon, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Plague Archfiend stood at one side while gasping for breath. Like other people, they were also nervously watching this fierce battle. They hoped that the counter of Diamond Ape King inflict a serious injury, but didn¡¯t dare to lend a helping hand. Just a moment ago, even though the three of them were cooperating, they were forced to a corner. Plague Archfiend who had the highest cultivation base had heaviest injuries. The wound on his stomach had nearly taken his life. ¡°Why are you three still not making a move?¡± A familiar voice suddenly resounded in the minds of three people. Ye Chuan? The three people were shocked. The doubted that they have heard wrongly. But, the sharp eyes of Old Demon of Mount Yin saw a familiar figure behind a bush a hundred meters away. After that, the figure of Ye Chuan disappeared. ¡°His Excellency has come, attack!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Plague Archfiend looked at each other, then gritting their teeth, they rushed up to join the fierce battle and teamed up with Diamond Ape King against Qing Tianhou. Although they didn¡¯t know what was going on, and they also didn¡¯t know how the guardian of Golden Kingdom, Diamond Ape King, suddenly appeared here, the emergence of Ye Chuan gave them the confidence to fight again. When Ye Chuan make a move, he would always have a trump card, so with him here, the three of them became even more confident and fought without worries. Chapter 544: Abnormal exper t With the addition of three great experts under Ye Chuan, Qing Tianhou quickly felt the pressure. Originally, he had already gained an upper hand against Diamond Ape King and could have inflicted a heavy injury, merely, he was thinking of killing him in one move, the result, he missed the opportunity. Roar! Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo roared loudly. Although he was already dripping with blood, he was getting braver and braver. He roared and launched ferocious attacks. His Golden Stick was heavy and his every move hit hard, as a result, parrying his every move, the purlicue of Qing Tianhou would tingle, so after a while, he didn¡¯t dare to take the attacks head-on. The addition of Rain Demon, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Plague Archifned had clearly restricted the attacks of Qing Tianhou. This eased the pressure on Diamond Ape King and he was able to show his astonishing might. Now, these four great experts were jointly attacking Qing Tianhou with Diamond Ape King as the main attacker. He was also enduring most of the pressure. Plague Archfiend was responsible for defense, he dealt with the counterattack of Qing Tianhou. Old Demon of Mount Yin was responsible for restriction. He summoned countless vines and either tried to bind the limbs of Qing Tianhou or attacked his glabella, throat and other vital parts. As for Rain Demon, he was responsible for a fatal attack. He didn¡¯t easily make a move, but once he made a move, it would be fatal. The four great experts with different styles jointly launched a wave after wave of attacks. Qing Tianhou was very powerful, he was absolutely unstoppable under Half Sage realm, but this time, he was having a hard time. Not long after, several bloody wounds began to appear on his body. In this one against four battle where two of them were Half Sage realm experts and all four had unique techniques, the pressure on Qing Tianhou multiplied. But, Qing Tianhou was Qing Tianhou, even if he was in a disadvantageous position, he fearlessly fought back. The four experts were unable to deal a fatal blow on him. If this drags on, then after they used up their power, the situation would reverse. In terms of cultivation base, if Qing Tianhou claimed to be the second among Half Sage realm experts, then even State Jiang Tunsheng wouldn¡¯t dare to calm to be first; in terms of endurance, no one could compare to him who had come from the Outer World. Even if they dragged on, they would be the one to die due to exhaustion! The onlookers made remarks in succession and their countenance changed. All of them could see the power of these four experts. No need to talk about Half Sage realm Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo and Plague Archfiend Abasi, even peak Daoist Master realm Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon were a force to be reckoned with. These loose cultivators and devils were inferior to them. But, even with the cooperation of these four, they were unable to inflict a fatal injury to Qing Tianhou, how powerful was this fellow? The expression of Plague Archfiend also changed. This situation was anything but reassuring. After hesitating for a bit, he took a dangerous risk. He transformed into Three Eyed Toad, and opening his mouth, he spat out his essence flame, which engulfed Qing Tianhou. The ground under the latter¡¯s feet instantly turned into magma. After hesitating for a long time, Plague Archfiend finally used his killer move. ¡°Humph, turned out to be a Three Eyed Toad!¡± Qing Tianhou coldly snorted. Then, he suddenly flew out of the flame and instantly appeared above Plague Archfiend. After that, he chopped down at his forehead. Others might fear magma, but he didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid, he was treating the magma like normal ground. The Golden Stick suddenly swept over along with a golden light, blocking the halberd of Qing Tianhou. Diamond Ape King timely made a move to resist the attack of Qing Tianhou. At that time, a blade glimmering with pallid light shot towards the heart of Qing Tianhou from behind; and at the same time, countless vines appeared from the ground and blotted out the sky. Rain Demon and Old Demon of Mount Yin also rushed over and launched a fierce attack using all their strength. Qing Tianhon¡¯s expression became cold. He then swayed and instantly writhed away like a snake from an impossible angle, quickly retreating far away. He then jumped back more than ten meters and nearly collided with the onlooking crowds at one side. After suddenly retreating, his halberd shone brightly as he prepared to make a deadly counterattack. The onlooking crowd hastily retreated in succession. Especially those people who nearly collided with Qing Tianhou, they looked deathly pale and sweated profusely as they crawled and rolled far away from this place. Qing Tianhou could do nothing about the joint attack of these four experts and was forced to retreat here. This absolutely was throwing a meat-stuffed bun at a dog. A hint of pallid light flashed and suddenly stabbed towards the heart of Qing Tianhou from the back. When everyone was hastily retreating, a person however suddenly rushed towards Qing Tianhou and attacked with his sharp sword. The old devil Zhong Moli who was lurking in the midst of the onlookers gritted his teeth and after seizing a flying sword of a loose cultivator, he attacked Qing Tianhou. Even when he was just one meter away, Qing Tianhou was busy facing Diamond Ape King and others, this was a very rare chance! Sure enough, Qing Tianhou was caught unprepared. The sharp sword stabbed his back, but the moment the sword pierced through his body, Qing Tianhou unexpectedly turned around and the sword in the hand of Zhong Moli broke into pieces. Then, with his eyes flashing with cold radiance, Qing Tianhou ferociously attacked with his halberd before the old devil Zhong Moli had time to react. ¡°Zhong Moli, who do you think you are? You actually dare to make a move against this Lord Hou, I will kill you, traitor!¡± Qing Tianhou was furious. He ignored the piece of blade stuck in his bloody back and immediately made a killing move again. Powerful! The physical body of this fellow is so doughty, this simply is abnormal! The onlooking people turned pale with fright. Buzz, the halberd in the hand of Qing Tianhou vibrated as it slashed towards the old devil Outlying Islands Sanren. He didn¡¯t have time to dodge and he could only watch the blade approaching him. Along with the angry roars, the four experts rushed over and attacked. Diamond Ape King jumped up and ferociously swing his Golden Stick towards the head of Qing Tianhou. Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon also initiated their strongest move. Qing Tianhou gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to give up on this prey, Outlying Islands Sanren. He swayed and dodged the attacks of Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon, then used the halberd to block the attack of Diamond Ape King. Now, the old devil Zhong Moli also joined the battle, but Qing Tianhou was unexpectedly able to withstand the join attacks of these five great experts. The onlookers were shocked and frightened. Qing Tianhou, this fellow was ferocious and abnormal. Since even this was unable to kill him, once he broke through to Sage realm, who in the Wilderness World can be his opponent? Chapter 545: Experts also has a moment of dejection ¡°Hahaha, no matter how many there are, all of you will die. Don¡¯t you all still have some accomplices? Come at this Lord Hou at the same time to die by this Lord Hou¡¯s Qingtian Halberd, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou laughed heartily without any scruples. After a round of fierce exchange, the blood of Qing Tianhou splattered everywhere, and he was in a miserable state. But, the joint attack of five great experts was still not able to kill him. Who else in this world was so heaven-defying and terrifying? Qing Tianhou was very arrogant, but he truly had the ability to be so arrogant. The onlooking crowd was shocked. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend and Outlying Islands Sanren looked ashen. As for Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo who was attacking ferociously, he was also helpless in his heart. He had already done his best and used all his strength, but he was still unable to kill Qing Tianhou. He was also at wits¡¯ end. ¡°Is that so, Qing Tianhou? Then, I will help you!¡± At that time, a cold voice suddenly resounded. A tall figure suddenly rushed out from the thick bush that was ten meters away. He instantly arrived in front of Qing Tianhou holding a blood-red banner. Bang, this banner ferociously hit the Qingtian Halberd of Qing Tianhou, and although Qing Tianhou was still standing straight, his legs instantly sunk further into the ground and his complexion also turned red. Ye Chuan who had been hiding in the dark waiting for a favorable opportunity had finally made a move. He instantly exploded with the strength of 180,000 jin. At ordinary times, Qing Tianhou would have easily withstood this strength of 180,000 jin. He had even blocked the godly brute force of Diamond Ape King, no need to mention the attack of Ye Chuan. But, at this moment, this attack of Ye Chuan thoroughly crushed the final straw of Qing Tianhou. Under the joint attacks of the five great experts, it appeared as if Qing Tianhou was in the control. He also seemed to have blocked the full powered attack of Diamond Ape King without any issue, but in fact, he was also an arrow at the end of its flight. Although his mouth was still issuing arrogant words, he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on! ¡°Boy, it¡¯s you?¡± Qing Tianhou was surprised and also angry. He suddenly understood everything. Old Demon of Mount Yin and Plague Archfiend were Ye Chuan¡¯s men. Rain Demon had betrayed him, and now, no need to mention that he had brought along Diamond Ape King, this powerful opponent, he had even made Outlying Islands Sanren Zhong Moli betray him. Everything was his planning, everything was under his control! Qing Tianhou roared and his energy fluctuation skyrocketed. Then, the halberd in his hand shone with pallid light and jolted the Golden Stick of Diamond Ape King and Iron Blood Banner of Ye Chuan away. After Ye Chuan repeatedly ruined his matters, this fellow was truly angry. He exploded with astonishing power, wanting to cut Ye Chuan into pieces on the spot. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Protect His Excellency, kill this fellow!¡± Seriously injured old devil Zhong Moli was rolling on the ground being unable to move. But, Old Demon of Mount Yin, rain Demon and Plague Archfiend simultaneously rushed forward and launched ferocious attacks. Qing Tinhou had no choice but to block them. And when he had just resolved the attacks of these three people, a golden light flashed above him. The Golden Stick of Diamond Ape King was ferociously swinging down from above. Qing Tianhou hastily raised his halberd and successfully blocked this heavy Golden Stick, but his legs sunk further down into the ground. Immediately afterward, the Iron Blooded Banner of Ye Chuan whistled as it was ferociously swung towards him. The face of Qing Tianhou turned red and then purple. This time, he was hit squarely and his tall and straight figure swayed. He let out a muffled groan and blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. He had suffered internal injuries. At that time, a brightly colored Demonic Vermillion Flower fell from his bosom. Among the red flowers all over this mountain, this Demonic Vermillion Flower couldn¡¯t be considered large, but its color was especially conspicuous. The even more peculiar thing was, there was a lifelike woman face in the midst of layer upon layer of petals. Its fragrance was intoxicating, and one could even smell its fragrance from 100 meters away, in addition, just inhaling its fragrance, one¡¯s entire body felt relaxed. ¡°The Eternal Demonic Vermillion Flower, it is the king of these Demonic Vermillion Flowers!¡± ¡°This Demonic Vermillion Flower is mine!¡± The onlooking loose cultivators and devils exclaimed in surprised, soon, some people couldn¡¯t endure and made a move to snatch this flower. In this grave world, there were no treasures and pills. There were just Demonic Vermillion Flowers that was rare in the outside world. And the Demonic Vermilion Flower that fell from the bosom of Qing Tianhou was the most valuable one. It was priceless. And now, under the joint attack of Ye Chuan and others, Qing Tianhou was suppressed, this was the perfect chance to snatch it. Qing Tianhou was a heaven-defying expert with cruel means, but the loose cultivators and devils that had broken into this holy land of Sea Demon Clan were also not inexperienced people. They were cruel devils who killed many people without even batting an eyelid, and they had also walked between the thin line of life and death. They would dare to take the risk when they saw the chance. But, there was someone else who was faster than them. Ye Chuan tightly held Iron Blooded Banner as he firmly suppressed Qing Tianhou. Meanwhile, he secretly summoned the puppet doll Hei Kui, and the latter quickly grabbed the Eternal Demonic Vermillion Flower, then transforming into a wisp of cyan light, he returned back to Ye Chuan¡¯s Cyan Lotus Space. The bold devils and loose cultivators were dumbfounded. They were caught off guard by this move of Ye Chuan. But, seeing the sinister and ruthless gaze of Ye Chuan, they didn¡¯t dare to immediately make a move. ¡°Ah¡­¡­, brat, I will kill you!¡± Before anyone else could make a move against Ye Chuan, Qing Tianhou took the initiative and exploded with power. In the Great Monarch Grave, the golden sarcophagus and the 18 Demongods Banner sealed in it was snatched by Ye Chuan, and now, Ye Chuan was also snatching the Eternal Demonic Vermillion Flower he had obtained with great difficulty, how could he endure this? Now, Qing Tianhou wanted to kill Ye Chuan even if he had to suffer serious injuries. His energy fluctuation rose again and violently shake away the Golden Stick and Iron Blooded Banner suppressing him. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others rushed over again, but Qing Tianhou completely ignored them. He even ignored the attack of Diamond Ape King. He just thrust his vibrating halberd straight towards the neck of Ye Chuan. This attack was more powerful than the attack of Diamond Ape King and its speed was also astonishing. Even a peak Daoist Master realm expert might not be able to anything against this attack. Qing Tianhou was so angry that, this time, he vowed to kill Ye Chuan. After coming to Wilderness World from Outer World, he had never been in such sore straits, and he had also never been so impatient to kill a person. The figure of Ye Chuan swayed. He used Peerless Style Technique and Cyan Feather Technqiue to dodge. But, although he was very fast, Qing Tianhou was even faster. No matter how he dodged, he was unable to get rid of Qing Tianhou¡¯s attack. The sharp Qingtian Halberd was getting nearer and nearer. Once this fellow Qing Tianhou made the decision, he would never stop until he followed through it. Buzz¡­¡­ The halberd of Qing Tianhou made vibrating sounds as it reached the neck of Ye Chuan, but the moment before it pierced through his neck, it suddenly stopped. 20 meters away, State Teacher Jiang Tunsaheng had appeared out of who knows where. He had drawn the Emperor¡¯s Bow to the limit, and a golden arrow was aimed at the head of Qing Tianhou. He was waiting for the moment Qing Tianhou kills Ye Chuan to launch a fatal move! Qing Tianhou with dense killing intent suddenly felt chill in his heart and came back to his senses. ¡°Brat, count yourself lucky, don¡¯t let me see you again, otherwise, I will turn you into minced meat!¡± Qing Tianhou retracted his halberd and left. And in a few steps, he entered the time and space gate of the valley and disappeared. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he chose to retreat for now. He could ignore the attacks of Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, but the Emperor¡¯s Bow of Jiang Tunsheng was different. After tasting it once, he didn¡¯t want to taste it again. Moreover, if he was seriously injured by Emperor¡¯s Bow, then Jiang Tunsheng would certainly have the advantage to suppress him, so the loss outweighs the gain in killing Ye Chuan! Chapter 546: A step too late After Qing Tianhou left, numerous devils and loose cultivators also left in succession. In the valley, there were still some Demonic Vermillion Flowers, but they were either too young or not too valuable or they grew in a place difficult to pick up. But, most importantly, along the wave, people had discovered a pattern. Although Qing Tianhou seized a lot of powerful ancient treasures, he could always discover the clues left behind by Sea Demon Clan and find treasures. Qing Tianhou ate meat and the other people drink soup, but if they broke into another grave world, then they might not even be able to drink the soup. The onlooking devils and loose cultivators acted quickly. They stepped into the time and space gate and left this grave world to follow Qing Tianhou with the dream of finding many ancient treasures. But, upon seeing Ye Chuan, there were also some who recalled that Ye Chuan had snatched the golden sarcophagus and that Eternal Demonic Vermillion Flower, but sensing the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan, and again looking at Old Demon of Mount Yin and others beside him, they suppressed their impulse to attack and left. Qing Tianhou was stronger than anyone else here, but even he ate a loss against Ye Chuan¡¯s group, one could well imagine their strength. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King, who among them couldn¡¯t instantly kill a great devil? Since they had misgivings towards the strength of Ye Chuan¡¯s group, the devils and loose cultivators didn¡¯t dare to easily make a move. Ye Chuan gasped for breath. After narrowly escaping death, he secretly felt lucky. But, he didn¡¯t have time to admire the Eternal Demonic Vermillion Flower. He quickly rushed over to the old devil Zhong Moli and help him treat his injuries. This time, although he was prepared, without the sudden surprise attack of this old devil, he might not have snatched this Eternal Demonic Vermilion Flower from Qing Tianhou. The injuries of the old devil were serious. That slash of Qing Tianhou had nearly cut him into two. Ye Chuan frowned. Since the old devil was so seriously injured, let alone fighting, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to walk properly in a short time. So, after helping him bandage his wounds, and giving him some pills, he directly used a technique to send him into Cyan Lotus Space. After that, he stood up and watched around. Now, the valley was already empty. Those numerous devils and loose cultivators were already gone, even State Teacher Jiang Tunsehng had already disappeared without anybody knowing. ¡°Your Excellency, we finally meet you!¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin greeted Ye Chuan with a look of relief. After they were separated, he, Rain Demon and Plague Archfiend had been looking for Ye Chuan. They were very worried about his safety. But, to their surprise, Ye Chuan was not only well, he even saved them three at the critical moment from Qing Tianhou. ¡°What about, Jiajia, Sea Demon Patriarch and others?¡± Ye Chuan went straight to the topic. Now that he had found Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, he was even more worried about Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin shook his head and added, ¡°After breaking into this so-called racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, we had also been looking for them, but we have yet to find their whereabouts. But¡­¡­, occasionally, we found some traces of sea demon warriors, the command tablet of Sea Demon Clan and the corpses of sea demon warriors. Whenever we don¡¯t know where to go, we would find the trace of Sea Demon Clan. It¡¯s like Sea Demon Clan¡¯s patriarch, he¡­¡­¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin didn¡¯t complete his sentence. But, thinking about the circumstances they encountered along the way, he was puzzled. ¡°You mean to say that the Sea Demon Patriarch intentionally left behind those traces?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s exactly like that!¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin nodded his head and said, ¡°After arriving here via transfer formation, we disguised as loose cultivators and moved together with them. Still, we never find even a hint of his whereabouts, but it felt like he was intentionally attracting numerous loose cultivators and devils into these grave worlds. If my guess isn¡¯t wrong, then it seems that even that old man doesn¡¯t know the real location of Lost City. And when looking all around, he either unintentionally left behind those traces or had intentionally left behind those traces to lead people into those grave worlds so as to weaken loose cultivators and devils via the restrictions and guardians of the grave worlds. That old man is good, he is even more cunning than a thousand years old fox. So, with him there, Jiajia and others will not easily fall in the danger, Your Excellency can rest assured.¡± ¡°I hope so, let¡¯s go now, perhaps, they are waiting for us in the next grave world!¡± Ye Chuan took out the Sea Demon Map and left quickly with others. Since the old devil Zhong Moli was injured and placed in Cyan Lotus Space, now, there were only Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King beside him. But, although they were small in number, every one of them was a great expert. No need to mention Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King who had already reached Half Sage realm, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon were also peak Daoist Master realm experts who might breakthrough to Half Sage realm at any time. With these four powerful followers, Ye Chuan was at ease, even if they encountered Qing Tianhou again, he was confident that they could give him a good fight! Via the time and space gate, the group of five returned to the mountain shrouded in dense mist. Then, after running full speed for half an hour, they arrived in front of another ancient grave. Unsurprisingly, there was also a dark tombpassage here. There were many footprints around that dark tombpassage. It seemed that numerous loose cultivators and devils had already arrived here. After sizing up this ancient grave for a bit, Ye Chuan entered the tombpassage with others, and after feeling as if the heaven and earth were spinning, the group of five arrived in yet another grave world. It was a huge lake. Looking around, one could see lotus flowers everywhere and fishes that occasionally jump out of the water surface. The loose cultivators and devils that had entered first were standing on big and small lotus flowers. And those who were accidentally hit by those fishes would fall into the lake and never surface again. Even a feather that fell into this lake would sink, but if one grabbed those fishes, then those fishes would instantly turn into various kinds of flying swords. In the center of this lake, there was a huge golden lotus leaf, and on that leaf, there was a time and space gate, but many fishes jumped around that place, and the treasures found there was also more amazing. This was a Lotus World, and also a Flying Sword World, or one could say Flying Fish World. In this bottomless lake, it seemed that there were countless flying swords! One grave, one world, each grave world had different restrictions and methods. All along the way, people had experienced many new things. Still, this Flying Fish World was mystical and beyond the imagination of people. ¡°Look, isn¡¯t that the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect?¡± The Old Demon of Mount Yin with sharp eyes, instantly after arriving in this Flying Fish World, he saw a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect jumping onto the big golden lotus leaf and stepping into the time and space gate. Late! They were a step too late! Ye Chuan was excited upon seeing the figure of that disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. Clearly, Zhu Sijia and others had also come here, moreover, they were just a step ahead! Chapter 547: Remex Demon After looking all around, Ye Chuan and others looked down and saw that they were also standing on five different lotuses. Everyone who entered this grave world was teleported onto different lotuses. Then, along with the ripple and flowing water of the lake, they would be gradually pulled away from other lotuses. Ye Chuan secretly noted that. There was no doubt that this was also a kind of restriction. Even though he once was the Heaven Concealing Great Sage, this was the first time he encountered this kind of mystical restriction. It was not easy to seal a real vast world in the grave, Sealing this kind of mystical world was a heaven-defying means! The seven graves marked on the Sea Demon Map were one more amazing than others. There was no tombstone in front of this grave. On the surface, it was no different from other nameless ordinary graves. But when it comes to the grave world inside, it was even more mystical than the Great Monarch Grave. A light vibration suddenly came from the lotus below. And Ye Chuan who was lost in the admiration of this grave world suddenly came back to his senses and circulated the Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. At that time, a fish jumped out of the water. This fish was not big, only one inch wide and its entire body was covered with silver fish scales. It didn¡¯t look threatening. But in the next moment, the glabella of Ye Chuan twitched in danger. The speed of this fish was too fast. It flicked out from the water surface like a spring, and arrived in front of him in an instant. Even before it collided with his body, Ye Chuan could also feel a strong wind and vast strength contained in its small bent tail. Ye Chuan extended his right hand and grabbed this silver flying fish. In an instant, he along with the lotus below him was forced back more than 17 meters before the strength of this silver flying fish dissipated. Then, a silverish light flashed and right before the eyes of Ye Chuan, this silver flying fish turned into three inches long silvery flying sword. Its blade was vibrating as if it was struggling to break free from the grasp of Ye Chuan and fly away. Powerful! What kind of restriction was this? Ye Chuan was even more surprised. At first glance, one couldn¡¯t tell what grade this silvery flying sword was and what materials were used to forge it, but its forging technique was extraordinary. On the blade of this flying swords, many difficult to comprehend runes were carved. This forging technique was completely different from the forging techniques of Wilderness World. Of course, this flying sword was still not up to much for Ye Chuan, but for ordinary cultivators, this flying sword however was a great treasure. Now, many loose cultivators and devils who had entered this grave world first were trying to grab these flying swords while standing on the lotus leaf. Those who were lucky were able to grab a treasure, but unfortunate ones were miserable. They were knocked down into the lake and disappeared without a trace. Even an air bubble wouldn¡¯t appear on the water surface. Opportunities always had inherent risks! Those capable ones were collecting treasures, but those incapable ones who had broken into this grave world had turned into the ghost of this grave world below the lake. But, in addition to being a capable and strong cultivator, one also needed luck. Not far away from Ye Chuan, there was one peak Daoist Master realm devil. He had already grabbed seven flying swords, but he was unfortunately hit by two silver flying fishes and fell into the water. Then, he became fish food. Ye Chuan clearly saw the tragedy of this great devil and felt chill slide down his back. This tragedy had happened less than five meters away from him. Even if Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to see clearly, it was difficult. But, he didn¡¯t dare to lend him a helping hand. This lake was vast, he couldn¡¯t see the end. On the lake surface, there were lotuses everywhere, and below the lake surface, there were countless flying swords. This place was a huge treasure deposit and also a huge graveyard. All the cultivators that had entered this grave world had nowhere to go, but even peak Daoist Master realm experts would similarly die if they fell into this lake! The seven ancient graves marked on the Sea Demon Map, one was more amazing than others, and one was also more dangerous than others. These grave worlds not only tasted the cultivation of intruders, they also tasted their fortune. Without fortune, not to mention ordinary cultivators, even a Half Sage realm experts might not be able to escape unscathed from those graves! Ye Chuan was tense. He became even more worried about Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others. Although there was that cunning fox Sea Demon Patriarch with them, he couldn¡¯t be optimistic after personally seeing the bad end of the devil. If an accident occurred, then he feared that it would be very difficult for that Sea Demon Patriarch alone to protect them. A cold aura suddenly came from behind. Ye Chuan turned around and saw an amazing scene. After teleported into this grave world, other people were either standing on the lotus leaf, not daring to move or boldly taking advantage of this chance to grab flying swords. But, one old man wearing grey clothing was different. The lotus leaf he was stepping on was drifting back and forth, moreover, its speed was amazing. He was freely controlling the lotus leaf as if it was an extended part of his body.He was taking advantage of this chance to rob and kill others. Even after he had already seized dozens of flying swords, he was not satisfied, and he was unexpectedly coming towards Ye Chuan. ¡°Hahaha, kid, this lordship has been paying attention to you for a long time. Hand over Eternal Demonic vermillion Flower and that golden sarcophagus, then this lordship will give you a painless death! Otherwise, you will die very miserably, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± The old man in grey robe roared with laughter as he approached closer. His killing intent was also soaring. The lotus on the lake surface was very light, any carelessness could make them sink into the water or lose their balance, thus, most of the cultivators didn¡¯t dare to move. This old man in grey clothing however had the technique to control the lotus leaf. And when other people were having a hard time just to hang onto their life, he was freely moving back and forth. Now, although his cultivation couldn¡¯t be considered high, only was peak Daoist Master realm, and it seemed that he was even inferior to Old Demon of Mount Yin, with this unique technique, his combat power had vastly increased here! Ye Chuan looked tense and his glabella twitched in danger. It¡¯s finally happening! After he had grabbed the golden sarcophagus in the Great Monarch Grave, he knew that he would be targeted by numerous loose cultivators and devils, so he was particularly low-keyed and cautious throughout the way. Unfortunately, it was useless no matter how cautious he was. What should happen would happen sooner or later. When there was no chance, these cunning devils wouldn¡¯t recklessly make a move, but when there was a chance, they would attack ruthlessly! ¡°Your Excellency, watch out!¡± ¡°Remex Demon, you dare to attack our Excellency, are you tired of living?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others roared, and at the same time, they tried to control the lotus leaf below them to rush over to Ye Chuan. Rain Demon even directly shouted the name of this old man in gray clothing. During the blockade of Bellowing Waves Island, he had secretly investigated the loose cultivators and devils in the nearby waters, so he knew the origin of this old cultivator. If they were on the ground, then with four great experts Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King here, they could have easily forced this Remex Demon to retreat, but now, they were helpless in this situation. They could only watch Remex Demon who was laughing heartily thrusting his iron hook straight towards the throat of Ye Chuan. Chapter 548: Miserable death The legs of Ye Chuan remained still, maintaining the balance. His upper body however leaned forward and backward, dodging the iron hook. There was a restriction in the air, making even peak Daoist Master realm expert unable to fly in the sky. The lake water was rippling, and it was difficult to maintain balance on the lotus leaf. But, although Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have the ability to freely control lotus leaf like this Remex Demon, his doughty body and rich experience made him easily dodge the attack of Remex Demon. ¡°Eh, you truly have some skill!¡± Remex Demon was surprised for a moment, but his expression turned ferocious in the next moment. Then, the lotus leaf under his legs accelerated forward and the iron hook in his hand slashed towards the stomach of Ye Chuan. This iron hook was blackened, clearly, a potent poison was smeared on it. Therefore, Remex Demon didn¡¯t need to land a fatal attack, just a small scratch was enough to poison people to death. Remex Demon sneered and his killing intent flourished. He had great confidence in this attack. In this mystical grave world, people were unaccustomed and having a hard time. If they were a little careless and fell into the lake, then they would die without a doubt. But, this Remex Demon was like a stranded fish put back into the water and his combat power greatly increase here. He could freely move and attack here, but his opponents couldn¡¯t move freely. Under his attack, several Daoist Master realm experts had already died. Ye Chuan had dodged his attack once, but would he still be able to dodge this one? Remex Demon strongly believed that Ye Chuan had always been lucky. But, his luck ends here. He rapidly approached Ye Chuan like a swan. People all around exclaimed. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others who had no time to rush over to save also exclaimed. Many loose cultivators and devils around had also noticed the activity of here, and seeing how Remex Demon could freely move around and attack, they turned pale. When the onlookers were nervous, Ye Chuan however was calm. The more dangerous the situation, the calmer he was. This time, Remex Demon was attacking his stomach, was it possible to dodge it while maintaining the balance? Ye Chuan stood still on the lotus leaf and his pupils shrunk, staring at the iron hook that was getting closer and closer. It appeared as if he was scared and he had nowhere to escape. Remex Demon laughed, ¡°Hahaha, brat, as I said earlier, hand over Eternal Demonic Vermillion Flower and the golden sarcophagus, otherwise, you will die very¡­¡­¡± Before he could speak out the word ¡®miserably¡¯, the expression of Remex Demon greatly changed. When his iron hook was about to stab the stomach of the standing still Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan grabbed this iron hook that was smeared with poison. Remex Demon who was laughing just a moment ago was unable to laugh any longer. He exerted strength to pull back his iron hook, but it unexpectedly wouldn¡¯t even budge at all. He felt like it was not Ye Chuan grabbing the tip of his iron hook, rather it was clamped between the thick iron plates. Since he couldn¡¯t dodge, Ye Chuan simply took the risk! ¡°Old man, want to see who will die miserably?¡± Ye Chuan sneered. Circulating ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, his strength was astonishing. It was only natural that this old man was unable to pull back this iron hook. Remex Demon didn¡¯t believe that he wouldn¡¯t be able to pull back his iron hook. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength, unfortunately, the iron hook in the hands of Ye Chuan was absolutely still. And although the tip of the iron hook was very sharp, the hands of Ye Chuan was unscathed. And since there was no wound, the poison smeared on it was useless. This kid is abnormal! Remex Demon was shocked. After personally experiencing the strength of Ye Chuan, this time, he understood that it was not by luck Ye Chuan was able to snatch treasures from the hands of Qing Tianhou. ¡°Boy, today, I will let you experience what a true killing move is. Being able to force this lordship use Remex Wings, you have some ability!¡± Remex Demon took a deep breath and his robe broke apart as a pair of silvery wings suddenly appeared on his back. They were nearly three meters long and he looked arrogant and overbearing like the legendary angel with a winged shaped arm guard on his left hand. He then laughed as those silver wings began to flap, giving rise to a gale. Immediately afterward, the lotus leaf Ye Chuan was standing on began to spin, and the speed got faster and faster. Ye Chuan was shocked, but he still firmly held the iron hook, quickly feeling great pressure as the strength on the other end of the iron hook was getting stronger and stronger. The cultivation of Remex Demon couldn¡¯t be considered very strong, and his strength was also limited, so he was unable to pull his iron hook away. But, relying on the centrifugal force of rapid spinning, the iron hook began to slowly slip away from the grasp of Ye Chuan. At that moment, the winged-shaped armguard on his left hand was shining with silvery light. This reason he was able to freely move inside this Flying Fish World and even this extraordinary strength were all due to this armguard. Usually, he absolutely wouldn¡¯t display it in front of others. He would rather eat loss to conceal the secret of this peerless treasure armguard. But now, in order to pull out his iron hook and kill Ye Chuan so as to obtain his Eternal Demonic Vermilion Flower and the 18 Demongods Banner inside the golden sarcophagus, he couldn¡¯t afford to keep it hidden. Ye Chuan rapidly circulated ten Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, trying to resist the increasing strength. ¡°Hahaha, useless, boy, surrender already. Hand over the Eternal Demonic Vermillion Flower and the golden sarcophagus now and this lordship will leave behind your corpse intact. Otherwise, no matter how you resist, you will die a miserable death in the end, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Remex Demon roared with laughter and his remex wings flapped even more rapidly as he spun even more rapidly. After a while, people could only hear his laughter, even his face couldn¡¯t be seen clearly, only afterimages could be seen. And due to the centrifugal force, his strength increased vastly. If this goes on, let alone Ye Chuan, even Diamond Ape King might not be able to hold onto this iron hook. Since he would be unable to resist, Ye Chuan would also not resist, and he also didn¡¯t have any plan to resist. Thus, when the Remex Demon was laughing, he suddenly sneered and let go. And at the same time, he jumped onto the lotus leaf of Remex Demon and tightly grabbed him. After that, he gathered strength on his forehead and headbutt him. Dong, the laughter of Remex Demon ceased abruptly. Ye Chuan completely unscathed, but his head however was battered and he felt dizzy. ¡°Old man, how was it? Didn¡¯t you say that I will die a miserable death?¡± Ye Chuan sneered and not waiting for his answer, he headbutt again. This headbutt was even more ferocious. The skull of Remex Demon was cracked. Now, the two of them were standing on the same lotus leaf, and not to mention he was feeling dizzy, even if he was completely awake, he didn¡¯t have any technique to use in this situation. The doughty body of Ye Chuan began a key point at this moment. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was not that high, only was Rank 6 Daoist Master realm, when it comes to his physical body, Remex Demon was far inferior. ¡°Old man, open your eyes and look, in the end, who didn¡¯t know the height of the heavens or the depths of the earth?¡± Ye Chuan tightly held Remex Demon and prevented him from flapping his wings. Then, circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he headbutt him again. This old man screamed and became powerless. The iron hook in his hand also fell into the water. As for the silvery wings on his back, they gradually faded away and the Remex Armguard in his left hand also simmered down, returning to its original form. ¡°This armguard is pretty good, I will take good care of it in your place.¡± Ye Chuan circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans and directly used brute force to seize the armguard on the left arm of Remex Demon, then pushed him into the water, ¡°This place is pretty good, there is picturesque scenery and lotuses. In the next life, become a flying fish of this place!¡± ¡°No¡­¡­¡± Remex Demon who was feeling dizzy with cracked head finally came back to sense, and he used all his strength to remain afloat on the surface of the water, but after losing the Remex Armguard, he was just like an ordinary loose cultivator. He quickly sunk and disappeared. As for Ye Chuan who nearly died in his hands, not only he escaped death, he also obtained a peerless treasure. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others sighed in relief while the eyes of onlooking devils and loose cultivators burned, staring at the Remex Armguard in the hands of Ye Chuan. All of them had seen how powerful this Remex Armguard was, especially in this place, so all of them wanted to get this treasure. With this armguard, wouldn¡¯t they become the overlord of this Flying Fish World? The loose cultivators and devils who originally were watching from one side began to subconsciously approach Ye Chuan. And at that time, a wave coincidentally appeared and over ten loose cultivators¡¯ lotus leaves rapidly floated towards Ye Chuan. Chapter 549: Devils acting violently Ye Chuan suddenly looked up and saw over a dozen loose cultivators and devils rushing over. Among them, there was a peak Daoist master great devil. There were also ordinary Rank 5 Daoist Master ream experts, but all of them were rushing over with blazing eyes along with the waves. ¡°Your Excellency, watch out!¡± ¡°Your Excellency, get out of the way, fast!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others also rushed over, using all their strength to move the lotus leaf below them with tense complexion. But, more and more loose cultivators and devils were intentionally or unintentionally rushing over. They had ill-intention and ready to make a move. Although different sized fishes were still jumping out time to time, compared to Eternal Demonic Vermillion Flower and the 18 Demongods Banner of golden sarcophagus, those flying swords were obviously worse. Thus, seeing there was a chance to seize those treasures from Ye Chuan, these old devils and loose cultivators were unable to suppress their greed. It was a very rare moment that Ye Chuan was alone without Old Demon of Mount Yin and others beside him. Although they wanted to immediately rush over to the side of Ye Chuan, it was very hard to move on this lotus leaf. This was the best chance to make a move against Ye Chuan. Before the first wave ended, another wave appeared, and even more loose cultivators and devils made a move to rush over to the direction of Ye Chuan. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others roared and used all their strength to move the lotus leaf below them, unfortunately, they were in a bad location. Not only they were unable to close the distance between Ye Chuan and them, on the contrary, the wave pushed them farther and they could only watch numerous loose cultivators and devils approaching Ye Chuan. This Flying Fish World was different from the land. One could neither walk nor fly in this world. They could only advance by making the lotus leaves below them drift forward. If one accidentally fell into the water, then even a peak Daoist Master realm expert wouldn¡¯t be able to escape death. And at this moment, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others could only watch and worry helplessly. Rain Demon tied to jump onto a lotus leaf near them to see if he could rush over to Ye Chuan by stepping on different lotus leaves along the way, the result, just after his legs left the lotus leaf, he was forced down. A powerful force appeared in the air and he was pushed down into the water. Crash, a huge water splash appeared. And at the same time, a strong suction force appeared and pulled him down towards the bottom of this lake. Fortunately, a tough vine timely appeared and wrapped around his body, then he was pulled up. At the critical moment, Old Demon of Mount Yin made a move and saved Rain Demon. But, seeing the distance between them and Ye Chuan were getting bigger and bigger, he could only sigh helplessly. Under the push of the wave, the lotus leaf below Ye Chuan rapidly drifted towards the center of the lake, increasing the distance between Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s group and him. But, upon seeing numerous devils and loose cultivators were approaching, although Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were worried, Ye Chuan however remained calm. He stood still on the lotus leaf, coldly sizing up these approaching loose cultivators and devils. Suddenly, scorching hot flame appeared on his palm and burned Remex Armguard in his hand, and after a short while, he spat out a mouthful of essence blood on it. What is he doing? Is that kid actually trying to refine the treasure he had just seized? The people were shocked. Such a bold and insolent move of Ye Chuan surprised them for a moment, but, they reacted quickly. They used various kinds of techniques to increase their speed. ¡°Attack, don¡¯t let the kid refine that treasure of Remex Demon!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s cooperate to kill him first!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ The loose cultivators and devils yelled loudly, recalling the might of Remex Demon. After breaking into this mystical Flying Fish World, Remex Demon had suddenly stood out among the mass and was able to freely able to move around this lake. It was not because of his extraordinary cultivation base, rather because of this treasure Remex Armguard. Ye Chuan was already difficult to deal with even though he had the cultivation base of just Rank 6 Daoist Master realm, in addition, he had strong followers like Old Demon of Mount Yin, Diamond Ape King and others, if he successfully refined this Remex Armguard, then let alone killing him and seizing his Eternal Demonic Vermillion Flower and the golden sarcophagus, they might even lose their life. Perhaps, even heaven was on the side of these loose cultivators and devils, after the second wave ended, another wave came. This wave increased the speed of the loose cultivators and devils. The distance between them and Ye Chuan quickly reduced to less than ten meters. After that, not waiting to get even closer to Ye Chuan, some used bows and arrows and some used flying swords to attack Ye Chuan. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whistling sounds resounded in the air. Five devils had made the move at the same time. Arrows and flying swords shot towards the glabella, throats and other vital parts of Ye Chuan. Upon seeing this, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others who were far away became so nervous that their heart was in their mouth. On a small lotus leaf, Ye Chuan however ignored the attacks of the devils. He continued to refine the Remex Armguard. But, when the arrows and flying swords were very close to his body, he swayed. It didn¡¯t look like he used any profound technique and had just swayed left and right, but narrowly dodged those arrows and flying swords. Even though these attacks were launched at the same time, since their cultivation base, strength and attacking means were different to some extent, the speed of these arrows and flying swords were different. It looked like all these attacked reached Ye Chuan at the same time, but there was a slight time difference. Taking advantage of this slight time difference, Ye Chuan skillfully dodged all these attacks. ¡°Kill!¡± The devils and loose cultivators roared and spared no effort to speed up the lotus leaf below them. And after they were only three meters away, they quickly took out their respective weapons. Some held sharp spear, some used uncommon magic weapon, and some wielded a huge hammer. They worked together to kill Ye Chuan. Ye Chaun who was standing still on the lotus leaf had successfully dodged the arrows and flying swords while refining Remex Armguard. Such capability of Ye Chuan shocked them. The more powerful Ye Chuan was, the more these devils and loose cultivators wanted to kill Ye Chuan. If they didn¡¯t kill Ye Chuan and seized his treasures at this moment, then it would be very difficult to do it later! In addition, they would be in great danger. Once Ye Chuan refined the Remex Armguard, he could freely move on the lake surface, at that time, will he let them go? Absolutely not! The devils and loose cultivators didn¡¯t have any doubt. If they were in his position, then they would absolutely not let them go! Another wave came and the five devils in the foremost position speed up and surrounded Ye Chuan. Then, they launched a joint deadly attack without saying a word. Not to mention here in this lake where one couldn¡¯t move freely, even on the dry land, Ye Chuan would have a hard time to block this kind of joint deadly attack. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others cried out in fear. But, the remaining devils and loose cultivators were excited as they rushed forward to get a piece of the pie. It was not guaranteed that those in the front will be able to snatch Eternal Demonic Vermilion Flower and the golden sarcophagus. What¡¯s more, Ye Chuan might have even more treasures. Once he was killed, all his treasures would fall out, and it would be up to luck whether they could obtain his treasures or not. In the distance, behind a cold reef, a figure suddenly appeared. He was a middle-aged man, but he looked quite handsome. Moreover, on the lotus leaf, he looked even more refined with a longbow. State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng had arrived in this Flying Fish World without anybody knowing. And looking at the surrounded Ye Chuan, he hesitated for a bit and raised his bow, then he put it down, and then, he sighed and raised it again. Chapter 550: Remex Talisman The Emperor¡¯s Bow in the hands of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was incomparably powerful. He could kill people from thousands of miles away using the golden arrow, but, before he made the move, the expression of those five great devils around Ye Chuan suddenly changed greatly. After spatting a mouthful of essence blood on it again, the Remex Armguard on the hand of Ye chuan vibrated and silver light flashed. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°If we don¡¯t kill him now, it will be too late, kill¡­¡­¡± The devils were greatly shocked. They had never expected that Ye Chuan would truly refine the Remex Armguard so quickly, leaving behind only a very short time to kill him. Now, if they were unable to kill Ye Chuan with their next move, then they could only retreat. The sharp spear, heavy hammer and flying swords instantly attacked the glabella, throat and other vital parts of Ye Chuan. This time, since the distance was already very close, it was impossible to dodge in time. Even if he didn¡¯t die under these five weapons, he was certain to fall into the water and die. Ye Chuan who had completely refined the Remex Armguard finally looked at the five devils with dense killing intent. His eyes were ice-cold without the slightest emotional fluctuation. The Remex Armguard turned into a hint of bloody light and disappeared, then violent energy erupted out from his body. At the same time, a pair of wings appeared on his back. They were blood red in color and were nearly five meters long. One could even see lightning flickering around it. Those winged gently flapped and Ye Chuan broke out of the encirclement of those five devils in an inconceivable angle. Then, he floated in the air like he was weightless. ¡°Remex Armguard, this is the real flight wings¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself, sensing the changes brought by the refinement of this Remex Armguard. He completely ignored those five devils. A few hundred meters away, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were shocked feeling the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan was not same as before. Rank 7 Daoist Master realm! The moment he refined the Remex Armguard, vast energy poured into the body of Ye Chuan. That was the energy stored in the Remex Armguard by its previous owners. It includes the energy essence of Remex Demon. In the end, everything just benefited Ye Chuan. With the help of this vast energy, not only he made a breakthrough to Rank 7 Daoist Master ream, he also condensed a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. In his dantian, a feather-shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman was slowly spinning. Every time, it spun a lap around, the blood red wings on his back would flap, resisting the power of restriction, and he floated in midair. The same treasure, when different people refined it, many differences could be seen. In addition, they might look completely different. It was so because, during the refinement process, one should fuse one¡¯s own energy essence. In the hands of Remex Demon, Remex Armguard appeared as silvery wings, but in the hands of Ye Chuan, it changed into a pair of blood red wings, vaguely resonating with his fate technique, Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets. In addition, the wingspan had grown from three meters from five meters. This implied that this treasure could display even more might in the hands of Ye Chuan! One Heaven Swallowing Talisman gave him the strength of 18,000 jin, now he had eleven Heaven Swallowing Talismans, this would give him the strength of 198,000 jin! Ye Chuan was excited. His breakthrough in realm was very important as he was now one step closer to Half Sage realm, but condensing new Heaven Swallowing Talisman was even more practical! Without mentioning the great use of Remex Talisman, just the increase in his strength was the huge boot in his fighting power! ¡°Retreat!¡± ¡°Damn, that kid actually refined it, run!¡± When Ye Chuan was immersed in sensing his changes, the five devils below were very nervous. They understood that they had missed the perfect opportunity to seize Eternal Demonic Vermillion Flower and golden sarcophagus. Thus, without any hesitation, they turned around and ran away. They used various kinds of techniques to make the lotus leaf below them float away. The other loose cultivators and devil behind were also retreating hastily. Just a moment ago, they were eagerly rushing over towards Ye Chuan, but now, they were sparing no effort to escape far away. However, their speed was very slow as they had to float against the wave unlike when they were rushing towards Ye Chuan. There were some who lost their balance and fell into the water. ¡°Don¡¯t you all think it is too late to escape now?¡± Ye Chuan came back to his senses and looking at the loose cultivators and devils that were fleeing all around, he coldly smiled. Then, he slowly landed on a lotus leaf, and like a swan, he freely moved along the surface of the water. He instantly caught up with the devil holding the sharp spear, then without using any technique and treasure, he simply punched the back of the latter. This devil who was filled with killing intent just a moment ago was sent flying as he vomited blood in the air. It didn¡¯t feel like he was punched by a human, rather a war behemoth had rammed him from behind. He fell into the water and after struggling in vain for a short moment, disappeared into the water. The combination of Cyan Feather Technique and this Remex Armguard made Ye Chuan a tiger with wings in this Flying Fish World. His speed was more amazing than Remex Demon! ¡°First!¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said, then coldly rushed towards another devil. In this grave world, everyone was restrained and restricted. No need to mention flying, one couldn¡¯t even jump from one lotus leaf to another lotus leaf that was just a few meters away. But with this treasure Remex Armguard, Ye Chuan could move freely at astonishing speed. He could instantly cover more than ten meters in one step. He quickly caught up with another devil who had attacked him. This fellow was a lot better than the devil with the spear. But, his end was no different. He was knocked into the water by the fist of Ye Chuan. Henceforth, there was another ghost in this water. ¡°Second!¡± ¡°Third!¡± ¡­¡­ Ye Chuan killed in succession and not long after, all those five devils were killed. As for other loose cultivators and devils, they were so terrified that they wouldn¡¯t dare to fart. In the hands of Ye Chuan, the Remex Armguard displayed greater might! In the distance, the eyes of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng shone. He was shocked seeing the foot technique of Ye Chuan. ¡°This kid is truly getting more and more powerful, unfortunately¡­¡­¡± Jiang Tunsheng put down the Emperor¡¯s Bow. Seeing Ye Chuan successfully refining Remex Armguard and breaking through to Rank 7 Daoist Master realm from rank 6 Daoist Master realm, he felt complicated. The lake suddenly trembled and ear-deafening screams came from the distance. A distinctive seven colored fish had jumped out of the water surface, and several devils chased after it, using all kinds of techniques to grab it. The result, not only they were unable to grab it, some lost their balance and fell into the water. ¡°Catch it, don¡¯t let it run away!¡± ¡°This fish is definitely a peerless treasure!¡± All people were excited and ignoring the danger, they spared no effort to move the lotus leaf below them. Every fish that jumped out of the water surface was a treasure. This seven colored fish was so distinctive, what kind of treasure was it? Instantly, everyone was attracted by this seven-colored fish. Jiang Tunsheng and Ye Chuan were no exception. Chapter 551: Seven Colored Flying Sword A tall figure suddenly rushed out and successively knocked down several loose cultivators on his wave. Then, he grabbed the empty void and pulled that eye-catching seven covered fish towards him. He was Qing Tianhou holding a halberd. He had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started to kill. A super expert was a super expert. Even in this mystical Flying Fish World where ordinary cultivators would find it hard to maintain balance on the lotus leaf below them let alone fly in the sky, Qing Tianhou was still going strong. ¡°Hahaha, this treasure is mine!¡± Qing Tianhou roared with laughter as he grabbed this seven-colored fish. The seven colored fish struggled in his hand for a while and slowly reverted back to a three inch long seven colored flying sword. Immediately afterward, a powerful energy fluctuation spread across the sky. This powerful energy fluctuation was emitted by this flying sword. What a good killing weapon! The pupils of Ye Chuan shrunk as he sensed the power of this seven colored flying sword. He feared that this flying sword was superior to the Dragon Slaying Flying Sword given to him by the cyan robed Seventh Elder. It was absolutely the best flying sword among the best! Qing Tianhou was already powerful, with this seven colored flying sword, wouldn¡¯t he become a tiger with wings? Who would be able to suppress him in the future? Ye Chuan suddenly made a move. He flapped his blood-red wings and quickly flew towards Qing Tianhou. This seven colored flying sword can fall into the hands of anyone else but absolutely shouldn¡¯t fall in the hands of Qing Tianhou, otherwise, no one in this Wilderness World would be his opponent. Even the cooperation of several Half Sage realm experts would be useless! Whoosh, a whistling sound resounded as a wisp of golden light shot towards Qing Tianhou at lightning speed. The reaction of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng was faster than Ye Chuan¡¯s. Qing Tianhou who was laughing heartily suddenly couldn¡¯t laugh anymore. His laughter ceased abruptly and metal colliding sound resounded. The seven colored flying sword he had just grabbed was sent flying by the golden arrow of Jiang Tunsheng. It then fell into the water and unexpectedly turned into a seven-colored fish again. After that, it shook its tail and swam away. Its speed was very fast. ¡°Surnamed Jiang, wait until this Lord Hou seizes this fish, then this Lord Hou will definitely kill you!¡± Qing Tianhou was furious and he glared at Jiang Tunsheng with a burning gaze. He couldn¡¯t wait to retaliate, but this was not the right moment. He jumped onto another lotus leaf and chased after the seven colored fish. At this critical moment, it was more important to seize the treasure. ¡°Qing Tianhou, if I cannot get it, then don¡¯t think that you can also get it, hahaha!¡± Jiang Tunsheng roared with laughter and similarly chased after the seven colored fish. Even if he couldn¡¯t obtain it, he would definitely not let Qing Tianhou obtain it. At this moment, they were equally matched, but once one of them obtain an ancient great killing weapon, the delicate balance between them might be broken. And with these two super experts contending against each other for that seven colored fish with dense killing intent, the one to suffer were loose cultivators and devils on the lake surface. There was no land in this pace, so although the movement technique of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng was very powerful, they still needed to have a foothold. It was fine when they jump onto the lotus leaf with no one on it, at most only the lotus leaf would be destroyed, but once they jump onto the lotus leaf with a person, that person would suffer a tragedy. These two super experts fought against each other without decreasing their speed, and the loose cultivators and devils who didn¡¯t have time to avoid them fell in the water in succession. And once they fell into the water, they could no longer escape their bad end. A scream after another resounded. The loose cultivators and devils were greatly frightened. They were busy avoiding the battle between Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, because once they were implicated, they would die without a doubt. But, the worse matter was, whether it was intentional or unintentional, the seven colored fish would always swim towards the location with most people. Moreover, it wouldn¡¯t just swim under the water, it would also jump out of the water surface to knock them into the water. Soon, more than 20 loose cultivators and devils fell into the water and the number was still increasing. In the beginning, when they had seen this seven colored fish for the first time, everyone had thought that it was a peerless treasure and chased after it to grab it, but now, this peerless treasure had transformed into an ominous thing, wherever it went, there was a blood calamity. At this moment, Ye Chuan however was standing still on a lotus leaf. And looking at this seven-colored fish that was swimming in the midst of the crowd, he gradually became solemn. This seven colored fish, why was it always swimming towards the most crowded area? Sea Demon Patriarch, that old fellow was very cunning. He would definitely not leave behind a trace to lure people in these ancient grave worlds without any reason. A bold thought appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. The seven graves marked on the Sea Demon Map were one more dangerous than others. If Sea Demon Patriarch was indeed intentionally luring people to enter these ancient graves, then there was only one possibility. He was borrowing the strength of these graves to kill people. He would deliberately trigger the restrictions of these grave worlds, thereby getting rid of many loose cultivators and devils who had intruded their racial holy land. Sand Demon, Blaze Spirit, Demonic Vermillion Flower Valley, in addition, this Flying Fish World¡­¡­, weren¡¯t they all very deadly? Ye Chuan suddenly woke up and became all the more cautious. Along the way, he had gained a lot. He had even obtained Eternal Demonic Vermilion Flower and golden sarcophagus, but this was not due to his strength, rather by luck. At the critical moment, if he had taken a wrong step, then he would have already died before. Thinking about it, Ye Chuan felt chill in his heart. With just these Eternal Demonic Vermilion Flower and 18 Demongods Banner in the golden sarcophagus, this trip to Overseas World was already worth it. Should he still risk his life to seize this seven colored flying sword? Ye Chuan was somewhat hesitant as he looked towards the time and space gate above the huge lotus leaf at the center of this lake. Compared to treasures, he was now more worried about the safety of Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others. So, he was considering whether to leave this Flying Fish World early or not. This move of Sea Demon Patriarch was very effective. He used the borrowed sword to eliminate numerous loose cultivators and devils, but this was also playing with fire. If they accidentally got trapped in the grave world, then that would be very dangerous. Old Demon of Mount Yin and other experts were all here. On the side of Zhu Sijia, there were only Little Long¡¯er and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. If they truly fell into a seriously dangerous situation, then Sea Demon Patriarch along with the sea demon warriors might not be able to help! At that time, a cold snort resounded. When Ye Chuan was lost in thought, Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng had collided again and again. In the end, that seven-colored flying fish happened to fall beside Jiang Tunseng. The latter laughed heartily and grabbed this seven colored flying sword. Immediately afterward, he jumped onto the lotus leaf at the center and stepping into the time and space gate, he disappeared. ¡°Jiang Tunsheng, leave that flying sword to this Lord Hou!¡± Qing Tianhou roared angrily and similarly disappeared after stepping into the time and space gate. ¡°Good, very good, those two plague gods have finally left!¡± ¡°Brothers, what are you waiting for? Let¡¯s collect treasures taking advantage of this chance, if we miss this chance, we will never have such a chance again!¡± The loose cultivators and devils finally relaxed and displayed their techniques to grab the fishes that jumped out of the water surface. Compared to the seven colored flying sword, the other flying swords were naturally a lot worse, but they were also rear treasures. Even the worst one was earth grade. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were also busy collecting treasures. All the things that were sealed here in this racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan were extraordinary, so no one was willing to miss this opportunity. ¡°Rodes, I will leave first, you all, be careful!¡± After taking a glance at Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, Ye Chuan instructed. Then, flapping the blood red wings, he flew towards the time and space gate. He was worried about the safety of Zhu Sijia and others, so he left first. Chapter 552: Reincarnation Grave After feeling as if the sky and earth were spinning, Ye Chuan returned to that mountain shrouded in dense mist again. He took out the Sea Demon Map and looked, then flew towards the location of the sixth grave. If his guess was correct, then Sea Demon Patriarch must have left clues along the way to lure loose cultivators and devils who survived Flying Fish World to the sixth grave. Ye Chuan was very careful. He looked around while advancing. Sure enough, not long after, he discovered several sea demon warriors lying on the pool of blood. He then placed his finger below their nose and confirmed that they had already stopped breathing and was impossible to save. They were dripping with blood as if someone had hit them with a brute force or some kind of ferocious beast had torn their flesh. Ye Chuan increased his pace. He was very worried about the safety of Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others. Along the way, he discovered more corpses. Other than the corpses of sea demon warriors, slowly the corpses of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples also began to appear. Their injuries were different. Some didn¡¯t have any injuries on their body, they only had their eyes wide open as if they had seen something terrifying before their death. And there were some corpses that were cut into two halves, and in the vicinity of those corpses, there were rocks that were also cut into two halves. The cut was very smooth, ordinary people didn¡¯t have such ability. It seemed that this was the handiwork of that fellow Qing Tianhou. The complexion of Ye Chuan tightened and a pair of blood red wings suddenly appeared on his back. Then, he accelerated towards the sixth grave. This mountain itself was dangerous, but if Zhu Sijia and others were caught by Qing Tianhou, then that would be even more troublesome. And on the top of it, if Jiang Tunsheng was also added, then Zhu Sijia and others wouldn¡¯t be able to resist. Even if they fought desperately, he feared that no one will survive! Outside Flying Fish World, the advantage of Remex Armguard was not as obvious. But, with this treasure, the speed of Ye Chuan had clearly increased a lot. In less than half an hour, he arrived at his destination. This was a neither small nor big grave. Its look was also ordinary and unremarkable. But, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to be careless. Looking around, he saw there were many stones around, and he also found a rock fragment where ancient words were carved. But, due to the erosion of a long time, those words had become blurred and difficult to read. ¡°One grave¡­ one¡­ world, one life¡­¡­ one¡­¡­ reincarnation¡­¡­, Reincarnation Grave.¡± Ye Chuan walked over and after carefully looking for a while, he recognized the words carved on that rock and was shocked. Reincarnation Grave! Just the name alone was sufficiently frightening. In addition, the dark tomppassage shrouded in dense mist emitted cold air which oppressed people. The glabella of Ye Chuan twitched and he was restless in his heart. The five ancient graves before were very dangerous. After breaking into them, the numbers of loose cultivators and devils had decreased drastically. Not talking about other graves, just in the Flying Fish World, numerous loose cultivators and devils had died. In the grave worlds, many treasures were sealed, but although they might be able to seize those treasures, they might not necessarily be able to walk out alive. Only a very few people were able to step into the time and space gate to exit those grave worlds. In the Flying Fish World, all the fishes that jumped out of the lake surface were treasures, but once one fell into the water, one would die without a doubt. What about this Reincarnation Grave in the front? What kind of treasures were sealed inside and what kind of dangers lied inside? Ye Chuan hesitated for a bit, then strode into the dark tombpassage. In the past, he was a step too late and just missed Zhu Sijia and others in Flying Fish World, now, if he hesitates again, then he might be late again. After a dazzling light flashed in front of his eyes, Ye Chuan arrived in yet another world. Looking around, he saw that this place was covered with dense mist like the mountain outside. He could vaguely see outlines of some mountains. It was very quiet around. There was no wind and no sound of insects, it was like a huge gloomy graveyard. He couldn¡¯t see any trace of Zhu Sijia and others, and he also couldn¡¯t see any trace of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsehng. It was like he was alone in this Reincarnation Grave. ¡°Jiajia, Xiaoniao¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan yelled the name of Zhu Sijia and others. When he had entered Flying Fish World, Zhu Sijia and others had just left. After that, he had stayed in Flying Fish World for a short time, then rushed over here as his fastest speed. It was very likely that Zhu Sijia and others were here in this Reincarnation World. In such an ominous and unfathomable place, it was naturally not a good choice to reveal one¡¯s whereabouts by yelling, that would greatly increase the danger. Ye Chuan who had explored numerous ancient ruins and ominous domains in his past life naturally knew this by heart, but in order to get together with Zhu Sijia and others, he had to do it. But, there was no response. Only his echo reverberated throughout the air. ¡°Little Long¡¯er¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan boldly advanced forward, but for an unknown reason, his heart was very restless. In his past life, he was a Heaven Concealing Great Sage that could summon winds and rain in the entire Wilderness World. But, in this life, since he had restarted cultivation from being a nobody, he had experienced the happiness, anger, grief and joy of a nobody. With the company of Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, Little Long¡¯er and others, he experienced warmth and affection he had never experienced before. In the heart of Ye Chuan, he had already considered Zhu Sijia, Little Long¡¯er and others as his family. If they were all killed here, then he would never be able to forgive himself. Ye Chuan who had always been calm and composed was somewhat frantic. He was more and more worried about the safety of Zhu Sijia and others. At that time, he staggered. He seemed to have kicked something and nearly fell on the ground. He lowered his head and looked. It was actually a person. And instantly, the scalp of Ye Chuan tingled. ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± The person lying on the ground was covered in blood and was already cold, but he still had one last breath left. He reached out and grabbed the left leg of Ye Chuan, ¡°It¡¯s¡­¡­, it¡¯s me, Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan immediately squatted down and quickly turned him over. Sure enough, he was a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. Ye Chuan tore his battle robe and examined. He saw a big wound on his chest that ran through his body. He had already lost a lot of blood and was beyond saving. ¡°Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, don¡¯t¡­¡­, don¡¯t worry about me, quickly¡­¡­, quickly¡­¡­¡± The disciple of Cloud Mist Sect knew that he was already beyond saving. He was already on the verge of death and his body was getting colder and colder. ¡°Where are Jiajia and others? Who was the assailant?¡± Ye Chuan injected his own vital qi into the body of this disciple. Even with this, he couldn¡¯t save this disciple, could only delay for a short time. ¡°A¡­¡­, a youth¡­¡­, with long halberd, Jia¡­¡­, Jiajia, they¡­¡­¡± The disciple raised his right hand with great difficulty and pointed towards the south direction, then he stopped breathing. The wound on his chest was too serious. It was not caused by a simple blade slash, rather was caused by the blade slash that cut and then stirred up the interior of the body. His internal organs were already smashed. In front of such injuries, Ye Chuan was also helpless. ¡°Qing¡­¡­ Tian¡­¡­ hou¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan quickly understood what had happened. He knew who the assailant was. He gnashed his teeth and placed the corpse on the ground. Then, turning around, he flew towards the south direction. Chapter 553: Hero of the generation At this moment, the mist was so dense that almost nothing could be seen beyond three meters away. It was very dangerous to flying rapidly in such condition. One might accidentally fall into a trap, or even might crash onto a hard cliff. But thinking about the dangerous situation of Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others, Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t afford to waste time. He used Cyan Feather Technique and rapidly flapped his blood-red wings to fly forward at lightning speed. Naturally, for just in case, he summoned Six Winged Golden Cicada and make this little fellow fly in the front to explore the path ahead. He didn¡¯t know how big this Reincarnation Grave was, but even after running wildly for a good while, he was unable to see anything. There was just dense mist everywhere. All along the way, he called out the names of Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Little Long¡¯er and others, but there was no response as if they had already gone far away or they had already left this world or had encountered a mishap. The complexion of Ye Chuan tightened and his heart sunk further. He then crazily circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, and while advancing ahead, he spread out his divine sense without any hesitation. But, even after using all his strength, his divine sense only covered less than ten meters. In addition, an unfathomable energy fluctuation rippled in the air. Clearly, this entire Reincarnation World was shrouded by an ultra large restriction, which intentionally restrained the divine sense of intruders. At that moment, Six Winged Golden Cicada flying ahead suddenly stopped and then its extremely thin wings rapidly vibrated. This was the sign that this little fellow had encountered danger and it was preparing to attack. Ye Chuan also stopped and looked ahead. He could see nothing but dense mist around, but his glabella twitched as he similarly felt danger. His heartbeat also accelerated. Is there an ambush in the front? Or, a trap? Or, an ancient restriction? Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He quickly took out Iron Blooded Banner and brandished it. Then the dense mist finally became a little thinner and a shocking scene appeared in front of him. A hundred meters away in the front, there was a sand dune with a loose quicksand. Below the quicksand, there were sharp iron thorns, and their sharp tips looked dark blue, clearly a deadly poison was smeared on them. This is a trap, a deadly trap! Since the dense mist was limiting the sight, it would be hard to notice this trap and once one stepped into this trap, then it would be almost impossible to escape alive. Ye Chuan thanked his luck for noticing this trap in advance. But, just these iron thorns and deadly poison were nothing, one could feel a peculiar energy fluctuation which made one¡¯s body feel especially heavy after approaching this trap. It seems there furthermore was a powerful restriction in this vicinity of this sand dune. On this sand dune, there were many corpses. Some were just skeletons that had died unknown numbers of years ago, and some had died just some time ago and were still dripping with blood. Their attire was different, some of them were loose cultivators and devils and some were sea demon warriors and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°Eh, that¡­¡­, isn¡¯t that¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan took a few step forward and suddenly exclaimed with a pale face as he saw a familiar head. This was not a person nor a corpse, was just a bloody head. Those thick eyebrows, that tall bridge of the nose, that big beard, everything was very familiar. Tuoba Xiong! On this dangerous sand dune, Ye Chaun saw the head of Tuoba Xiong. Although his bloody face was somewhat blurred, he was sure that he was undoubtedly Tuoba Xiong, the father of Tuoba Xiaoniao. Sure enough, after a careful look around, he saw a huge bronze cauldron Tuoba Xiong used to carry in former days nearby. The greater part of it was already sunk below the quicksand. Ye Chuan immediately flapped his wings to fly over and landed beside the head of Tuoba Xiong. Seeing this once formidable enemy dying here without an intact corpse, he felt somewhat unhappy. When all was said and done, all big feeling of resentment between them were already resolved, moreover, whatever one says, Tuoba Xiong was the father of Tuoba Xiaoniao. And like even if it was not for the monk¡¯s sake, but for the Buddha¡¯s, Ye Chuan had already forgotten the grievances between them. Yes, what about Xiaoniao? Ye Chuan was suddenly startled. After Tuoba Xiong suffered a heavy blow, he was so downhearted that he ignored all the affairs around him. In his heart, only his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao remained and he always accompanied the latter. Since innately strong Tuoba Xiong had died so miserably, what about Tuoba Xiaoniao? Ye Chuan hastily looked around. Fortunately, although there were many corpses of sea demon warriors and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, even after looking for a good while, he didn¡¯t see any hint of Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao. This made him slightly relieved. He also found the body of Tuoba Xiong, and he discovered that there were many wounds. But, the fatal one was this move on his throat that beheaded him. Even his bronze cauldron that weighted several thousand jin was also cut into two halves. Clearly, it was not the trap of this sand dune that took the life of Tuoba Xiaoniao, rather a person! Who was so fierce? The heart of Ye Chuan shook as an expressionless youth appeared in his mind. Qing Tianhou! It must be him again! Ye Chuan was furious and his desire to kill Qing Tianhou became unprecedentedly stronger. But, he took a deep breath to calm himself down. He then dig a big hole and buried the corpses of Tuoba Xiong, numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, and sea demon warriors. After that, he walked over to the head of Tuoba Xiong. It¡¯s a pity, Tuoba Xiong once was an overlord of a region where he could summon winds and rain as he pleased, but now, he died discontented. ¡°Tuoba Xiong, what are your unfinished wishes? Do you want me to avenge you by killing that devil Qing Tianhou?¡± Ye Chuan asked, and reached out his hand to close the eyes of Tuoba Xiong. The result, after he retracted his hand, his eyelid flicked back open. ¡°Is Xiaoniao in danger, do you want me to chase after her and save her?¡± Ye Chuan asked again and reached out to close the eyelid of Tuoba Xiong again. The result, like before, after he retracted his hand, his eyelid opened again. But, there was a difference, this time, bloody tears unexpectedly flowed out of the eyes of Tuoba Xiong. Ye Chuan remained silent. He knew that Tuoba Xiong still had unfinished wishes, so a wisp of his soul was unwilling to depart. ¡°I understand, Tuoba Xiong, you want me to take care of your daughter Tuoba Xiong for the rest of my life, and like you, look after her and protect her?¡± After remaining silent for a good while, Ye Chuan finally said, and after a pause, he added, ¡°Rest assured, I, Ye Chuan, take an oath, as long as I have one breath left, I will not let anyone hurt even the hair of Tuoba Xiaoniao. I will not make her shed tears.¡± Finally, the opened eyes of Tuoba Xiong closed, but his bloody tears were still flowing down his face. The eyes of Ye Chuan suddenly became moist. He then deeply bowed to the head of Tuoba Xiong and respectfully buried it. From the viewpoint of secular world, Tuoba Xiong might not be a good father. He was thoughtless, barbarous, warlike and even unscrupulous in order to achieve his aim to become the overlord of the entire Cloud Mist Mountain range. But, no matter how bad he was, he still was a father and he deeply loved his only daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao. Even though he had already died, his remnant soul was still worried about his daughter and refused to close his eyes even after his death, hoping someone else would take his place to take care and protect Tuoba Xiaoniao for the lifetime. In life, many things could change, but the affection of parents was the sole exception. The motherly love was like water and the paternal love was like a mountain. When one¡¯s father dies someday, the mountain that held up the entire sky for one would collapse. Chapter 554: Reincarnation Path After burying the corpse of Tuoba Xiong, Ye Chuan continued to advance. After the sand dune, the mist was a little thinner and one could feel the wind. At this time, Ye Chuan discovered that this Reincarnation World was a vast desert. Other than a few small shrubs, there was not even a blade of grass. There were many rocks, but their shape was irregular after being subject to the wind and sand for unknown numbers of years. Ye Chuan advanced towards the south direction, and all along the way, he found corpses of sea demon warriors and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. The number of causalities among them was a lot higher compared to all previous five ancient grave worlds combined. In order to lure intruders to this sixth ancient grave world, Sea Demon Patirarch had paid a heavy price. Since the mist was a little thinner, Ye Chuan increased his speed again, and Six Winged Cicada flew wildly in the front. He encountered more and more corpses along the way. In the beginning, he stopped to carefully examine these corpses, but later, he was already numb. He just took a quick glance and rushed forward. And after crossing a river that was already dried long ago, he suddenly stopped. On the side of this dried river, there was a wilted old willow tree. A handkerchief was hung on one of its branches. Ye Chuan could sense a familiar aura from this handkerchief. ¡°This is¡­¡­, Jiajia¡¯s handkerchief!¡± Ye Chuan picked up this handkerchief and sniffed it. A familiar fragrance entered into his nose and penetrated his heart. He was sure that this was the smell of Zhu Sijia without a doubt. This faint fragrance was already engraved in the heart of Ye Chuan during the usual interaction with Zhu Sijia. He looked all over this handkerchief and saw bloodstains on it. Is Zhu Sijia injured? Ye Chuan put this handkerchief in his bosom and accelerated forward. Tuoba Xiong was dead, and this Reincarnation World in itself was very dangerous, but Qing Tianhou was even more dangerous. If Zhu Sijia and others were caught up by Qing Tianhou, then he feared that no one would survive among them! Recalling the strength and ruthlessness of Qing Tianhou, Ye Chuan felt chill, and he sped up, fearing he would be late. If he could, then he would rather meet Qing Tianhou alone in the wilderness. He was unwilling to place Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others in danger. He noticed more and more traces of Zhu Sijia and others. Now, he could even sense their lingering aura. But, even after running wildly for a while, he was still unable to see their figures. After breaking into this racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, they had never been so close before, but since he was still unable to see their figures, he was particularly anxious. Ye Chuan ran forward while yelling. He crazily circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and emitted his majestic energy fluctuation. He didn¡¯t care about revealing his whereabouts and shouted the names of Zhu Sijia and others. He also provoked Qing Tianhou, wanting to attract the attention of the latter. The mist was still dense. And even after running wildly for half an hour, he still saw no nothing. He neither caught up to Zhu Sijia and others nor encountered Qing Tianhou. But, he still continued to run forward wildly and suddenly stooped when a burst of wind blew over. More than a thousand meters ahead, the dense mist slowly dispersed and revealed a path paved with bluestones. Both sides of this path were filled with dense mist. Unlike other places, the mist here was black in color and he could sense dangerous fluctuation in it. Clearly, there were terrifying restrictions. This path was even more dangerous than the Demonic Dragon Path with deadly poison mist on both sides in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. At the entrance of this bluestone path, there was a stone tablet with two words ¡®Reincarnation Path¡¯ carved on it. At the end of this path, one could vaguely see a golden light flickering in the dense mist. It was like something was continuously moving in the midst of this dense mist. And listening carefully, one could vaguely hear strange groans. Reincarnation World, Reincarnation Path, embarking on this path might make one enter the reincarnation! Ye Chuan was solemn and he couldn¡¯t help becoming nervous. The seven ancient graves marked on the Sea Demon Mark, one was more dangerous than others. This reincarnation path in front of him looked peaceful, but the restriction fluctuation filled the air. The restriction here was very profound, even Ye Chuan was unable to comprehend anything. And after careful observation, just outside the bluestone path, he noticed many messy footprints and even broken Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows and command tablets of Sea Demon Clan. Clearly, Zhu Sijia and others were ahead. They had already entered this dangerous reincarnation path. At the other end of this reincarnation path, it was very likely that there was a time and space gate to leave this Reincarnation World. Like the previous five ancient grave worlds, there was a life gate. If one was lucky enough, one would be able to leave with life, but one was not lucky, then one would die here and enter reincarnation. Now, a difficult choice was placed in front of Ye Chuan. Even with the knowledge of his previous life when he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he was still unable to comprehend the restriction of this place, so rushing in was very dangerous; but if he wanted to catch up to Zhu Sijia and others and wanted to leave this Reincarnation World, then he had only this path in front of him. A cyan light flashed as Ye Chuan summoned a group of Evil Eyed Cow Demons from his Cyan Lotus Space. He then summoned puppet doll Hui Kui too. Facing this unfathomable and dangerous reincarnation path, Ye Chuan quickly made a decision. Regardless of anything, he had to enter this dangerous path in front of him, but he was also unwilling to be reckless. Ye Chuan who had restarted cultivation after getting out of God Burial Valley with great difficulty was lucky all along the way. But, he didn¡¯t believe in luck, he only believed in absolute strength and calmness. Moreover, compared to others, he had a unique advantage. He could let numerous yao beasts explore the path first. ¡°Re¡­¡­, reincarnation path, Your¡­¡­, Your Excellency, what is this place?¡± The puppet doll Hei Kui looked around, and seeing the words carved on the stone tablet, his eyes were filled with panic. Don¡¯t talk about anything else, just these worlds were already frightening enough. ¡°Nothing, it¡¯s just a bluestone path. And at the other end of this path, there is a portal to leave this place. If you are lucky enough, you can leave this place with your life, but if you are unlucky, then you can say goodbye to this miserable life and enter the reincarnation.¡± Ye Chuan explained briefly. He had already calmed down, but the puppet doll Hei Kui on the other side was trembling in fear. Although his face had no chance in expression, forever was smiling, his eyes however were filled with fear and he subconsciously retreated. He was so pitiful. In the Evil Dragon Abyss located at the back mountain of Cloud Mist Sect, his fleshy body was destroyed and he was forced to use his unique technique to attach his soul in this wooden puppet doll, becoming neither ghost nor a person. In an average person was in his place, then he might have already fallen apart and committed suicide. But, he stubbornly gritted his teeth and held on for tens of thousands of years. He never gave up and hoped to rebuild his own body and regain his freedom someday. But, if he stepped into this reincarnation path, then even as a puppet doll, he might lose his life, so he was very afraid. ¡°Your¡­¡­, Your Excellency, I am a little dizzy. Recently, I seemed to have a problem in my cultivation, making my qi deviate. It is better to put me back into the Cyan Lotus Space.¡± The old devil Heikui said to Ye Chuan looking very miserable. Seeing this situation was anything but reassuring, he didn¡¯t want to step into this reincarnation path and immediately started to retreat. Every time Ye Chuan summoned him, they were always in a bad situation. He knew what was going on just after looking around. He didn¡¯t want to explore ahead like before as the next step might truly take him to the next reincarnation. Other than these dumb Evil Eyed Cow Demons, who would dare to walk in the front? ¡°Okay, no problem, but if I met an accident, then we both can enter the reincarnation cycle together.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. The complexion of the old devil Hei Kui however turned green. He might not encounter any danger if he hid in the Cyan Lotus Space, but if Ye Chuan was killed, then Ye Chuan might enter the reincarnation cycle, but he might not even have the chance to enter the reincarnation cycle! Chapter 555: One step, one reincarnation After struggling in his heart for a while, the old devil Hei Kui unwillingly admitted the defeat and began walking in the front with a miserable complexion. Naturally, Ye Chuan also wouldn¡¯t let him easily fall in danger. He tied his body with Dragon Trapping Whip so that he could immediately pull him back if something happened. After he was tied by this Dragon Trapping Whip, this old devil Hei Lui felt a lot better. Moreover, he was not the unluckiest one as nine Evil Eyed Cow Demons were in front of him. Under the direction of Ye Chuan, the first Evil Eyed Cow Demon stepped into the reincarnation path, then the second, then third¡­¡­ And after seeing these Evil Eyed Cow Demons were fine, the old devil Hei Kui and Ye Chuan also stepped into this reincarnation path. With so many Evil Eyed Cow Demons in the front, they were at ease as they would be able to avoid unknown dangers. But, just after stepping into the reincarnation path, Ye Chuan felt something was wrong. For a moment, he found it hard to breathe and his consciousness blurred. He felt as if he passed through countless time and space tunnel and finally arrived in ancient times. He had become a servant responsible for raising a horse in a big residence. And he didn¡¯t know what wrong he did, he was suffering the punishment of the master. Under the ruthless lashing of a tough horsewhip, he felt great pain as his flesh cracked. Wrong! This is an illusion! Ye Chuan suddenly woke up and discovered that he had already stepped into the reincarnation path. That big residence, ferocious master and terrifying horsewhip had already disappeared. The nine Evil Eyed Cow Demons were still slowly walking forward. But, he could feel tears at the corner of his eyes. That was not an illusion, rather the spirit had truly passed through time, returning to the previous incarnation. Ye Chuan touched the tears at the corner of his eyes and was greatly shocked. At that time, he heard the sound of crying. The old devil Hei Kui who was walking in front of him was in tears. Clearly, he was immersed in the sorrow of his previous incarnation. Ye Chuan tuggled the Dragon Trapping Whip, waking up this old devil. ¡°Hei Kui, tell me, how was your previous incarnation? Don¡¯t tell me that you were a little girl violated by others for crying so sadly?¡± Ye Chuan teased while directing Evil Eyed Cow Demons to stop. ¡°I dreamed of my previous incarnation, I truly was a little girl and I saw my mother. She laid me on a cradle and continuously swayed it. In this life, I once was able to summon rain and wind with my Puppet Technique, but I have never seen my mother, so¡­¡­¡± The old devil said with red eyes. If Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t helped him, then he might have truly lost himself in his previous incarnation until his soul dispersed. But, after he woke up, he could no longer feel the warmth of the mother. That was something he had never felt in this life, which made him sorrowful. ¡°Do you still want to continue walking ahead?¡± Ye Chuan asked, no longer teasing this old devil. ¡°Your Excellency, what do you say?¡± The old devil made a bitter smile. Who was Ye Chuan? If there was another option, then would he have taken such risk? ¡°Well, then continue, discard all distractions and focus on our true purpose.¡± Ye Chuan then commanded nine Evil Eyed Cow Demons to continue walking forward. And taking a step forward again, he took out the wind chime from his Cyan Lotus Space. Come to speak of it, there was something odd, they had nearly lost themselves in their previous incarnations, but the Evil Eyed Cow Demons walking in the front were completely fine. It seemed that it was better to have lower intelligence here as they would not be affected by the restriction of this reincarnation path. After taking a step forward, his spirit became blurred again. This time, he found that he was a brave soldier with a sword charging towards a centaur yao beasts. He beheaded one with one slash, but at the same time, the spear of another centaur pierced his chest. Instantly, his body shook and he neither felt pain nor heard the loud battle cries of the battlefield. Even his soul seemed to fly out of his body¡­¡­ A clear and melodious ringing sound suddenly resounded, and Ye Chuan slowly came back to his senses. Looking around, that battlefield with rivers of blood had already disappeared. He was still in the reincarnation path. Merely, he still felt stabbing pain in his chest. Thus, he removed his clothing and looked. He saw a red spot on his chest as if he was truly injured just a moment ago. One grave one world, one step one reincarnation! If one was lost in the reincarnation world, then one might never wake up! The heart of Ye Chuan turned cold and after directing Evil Eyed Cow Demon to stop, he tugged the Dragon Trapping Whip, waking up the old devil Hei Kui who was still lost in the reincarnation world. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know what this old devil encountered this time, but he looked deathly pale and his eyes were filled with terror. ¡°Hei Kui, return to Cyan Lotus Space and cultivate well.¡± Ye Chuan pulled back Dragon Trapping Whip, preparing to put Hei Kui away. ¡°Your Excellency, then wouldn¡¯t you¡­¡­¡± The old devil Hei Kui looked at Ye Chuan with worries. If he stayed in Cyan Lotus Space, then he wouldn¡¯t need to personally take risks, but Ye Chuan would be by himself. If by chance, Ye Chuan fell in danger, then who would help him? ¡°No problem, I have my means, you just cultivate well and rebuild your fleshy body as soon as possible!¡± Ye Chuan calmly said as he had already understood the dangers of this reincarnation path. One step one reincarnation, the key point was he couldn¡¯t lose his spirit. Although Hei Kui was experienced, he was clearly not helpful in his place, so it was meaningless to make him walk in the front. ¡°Your Excellency, then, take care of yourself!¡± The old devil also knew what was going on. Not only he was unable to help Ye Chuan, he had even become a burden, so after bowing, he transformed into a wisp of cyan light and entered into Cyan Lotus Space. Now, in front of Ye Chuan, there were only nine Evil Eyed Cow Demons. Ding, ding, ding, Ye Chuan swayed the wind chime on his hand and directed nine Evil Eyed Cow Demons to advance. And taking a step forward again, he returned to another previous incarnation again. And every time when his spirit was going to get lost, the wind chime in his hand would ring and bring him back. This time, this windchime given to him by the cyan robed Seventh Elder played a vital role again. Who exactly is that cyan robed Seventh Elder? What kind of treasure is this wind chime? And how is Cloud Mist Sect doing now? Ye Chuan had a lot of questions and his desire to return to Cloud Mist Sect became stronger. With the help of the wind chime, he walked out of those absurd dreams again and again as he gradually advanced on this reincarnation path. Now, he didn¡¯t know how much time had passed, perhaps, only an incense stick worth of time had passed or several months, but Ye Chuan discovered that he had subconsciously arrived at the end of the reincarnation path. Sure enough, there was a time and space gate shining with golden light just one hundred meters away. He could leave this dangerous Reincarnation World stepping into it. But, to enter this time and space gate, he must first pass through a long river of mist and smoke. This river had suddenly appeared here, he could neither see the origin of this river nor where this river was heading. But, there were three single-planked bridges with a stone tablet at their side. On those stone tablets, three words, ¡®past¡¯, ¡®present¡¯ and ¡®future¡¯ were carved. The air was also filled with heavy pressure, and after arriving here, even using Remex Armguard with all his strength, he was unable to fly. He could only choose one of the three bridges. Past, present, future, which bridge should he choose? The past represented past incarnations, the present represented this life, and the future represented later future incarnations. If he could only choose one, then did he want to live the past, live in the present or live in the future? Ye Chuan stood still. He was perplexed for a moment. He didn¡¯t know what to choose. Chapter 556: Wheel of Imprisonmen t After a long silence, Ye Chuan finally made a decision. He put away all Evil Eyed Cow Demons and the wind chime, then advanced towards the single-planked bridge with a stone tablet where the word ¡®present¡¯ was carved. When all was said and done, the past had already passed, no matter how brilliant the past was, that was also the matter of the past. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to live forever in the past. As for the future, it was unpredictable. No one knows what would happen. Perhaps, one might be very successful, establishing a greater brilliance, or perhaps, one might lose everything and have nothing at all. Just present was the most real and also the most fascinating. Cherish the present and live at present! The heart of Ye Chuan was perturbed. He didn¡¯t know what would happen after he set foot on that single-planked bridge, but he didn¡¯t hesitate. At that time, the long river of mist and smoke suddenly seethed violently. Then, just before Ye Chuan set his foot on that bridge, a voice suddenly came from the mist, ¡°Stop, don¡¯t move!¡± The mist churned and a half-moon shaped large wheel slowly rose from the midst of that strange river, emitting a dazzling golden light. Inside that large wheel, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged. He was none other than State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng! ¡°Your Excellency State Teacher, you¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan was greatly surprised and stopped his steps upon seeing State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng sitting cross-legged inside the golden wheel. He couldn¡¯t understand why Jiang Tunsheng was sitting cross-legged inside that wheel and also wondered why he suddenly warned him. ¡°Boy, didn¡¯t you think that the past has already passed, the future is unpredictable, and one should cherish the present, so you decided this middle bridge?¡± Jiang Tunsheng asked with a hint of ridicule. His voice also seemed strange as if he was using a kind of technique to transmit his voice out of this wheel. ¡°Yes, everyone should cherish the present, isn¡¯t that so?¡± Ye Chuan calmly admitted. ¡°Most of the people think that way and they will end up like me.¡± Jiang Tunsheng laughed, merely, his laughter was unconvincing. It was unsightly than crying. Ye Chuan used his divine sense and could clearly sense that his vitality was slowly decreasing. Even if one was trapped in that golden wheel, the vitality would still decrease. Like this, there was only one end result, death! Even a peak Half Sage realm expert is trapped. Being trapped here is the same as death! The scalp of Ye Chuan tingled. He inwardly rejoiced that he didn¡¯t set foot on the bridge in front of him. Even Jiang Tunsheng was imprisoned here, he absolutely wouldn¡¯t have escaped. ¡°What, boy, finally afraid?¡± Jiang Tunsheng said with a smile yet not a smile. Being trapped in such a place, one could only wait for death. In such a situation, one might fall apart first before death. ¡°A bit, who doesn¡¯t fear death all under heaven?¡± Ye Chuan frankly said, ¡°Your Excellency State Teacher, then how exactly can one go to the opposite side and leave this Reincarnation World?¡± ¡°Compensation, if you want this lordship to give you directions, tell me, what¡¯s there for me?¡± Jiang Tunsheng asked a question in reply. ¡°Your Excellency State Teacher, say directly, what do you want me to do?¡± Ye Chuan calmly asked. Jiang Tunsheng had appeared at the right time. He could have sit by and watch him stepping onto the bridge and similarly got imprisoned. But, he suddenly appeared and warned him, he must have a purpose. Naturally, it was also possible that he was intentionally misleading and setting him up. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­, the person fancied by Zixya, he naturally isn¡¯t an ordinary person!¡± Jiang Tunsheng roared with laughter and he looked at Ye Chuan with a hint of admiration. Then, solemnly said, ¡°Boy, that¡¯s right, this lordship indeed have a request, I want you to go to Heavenly Yao Sect and save Zixya who is suppressed under Heavenly Yao Peak as soon as possible after you returned to the mainland. Thereafter, never hurt her even a bit. How¡¯s that, can you do it?¡± ¡°What, Zixia is suppressed under Heavenly Yao Peak? How is this possible?¡± Ye Chuan was greatly surprised and looked at Jiang Tunsheng in disbelief. ¡°Humph, what is impossible? Moreover, wasn¡¯t that because of you?¡± Jiang Tunsheng ferociously glared at Ye Chuan and said, ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for saving you, Zixia wouldn¡¯t have thoroughly angered that crazy woman, White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, and she also wouldn¡¯t have gotten suppressed under Heavenly Yao Peak and never see the sun again! Stinking brat, you are good, leisurely fooling around girls, but have you ever thought about the days of Zixia?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi? The eyes of Ye Chuan flashed with pallid light. Now, he suddenly realized what had happened, no wonder, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia never appeared again after she rushed over to Cloud Mist Sect to help. Originally, Ye Chuan had thought that she was concentrating on cultivating to become the next generation Heavenly Empress, but now, he learned that that wasn¡¯t the case! After cultivating pair cultivating technique, Demonic Dragon Sutra, they had always stuck together. Not seeing one day was like they had separated for years. If it was not for the case of Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi imprisoning her, then how could Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia endure not contacting him for such a long period of time? ¡°Okay, no problem! Your Excellency State Teacher, at that time, I had lost consciousness at the end of the battle, so I don¡¯t know what had happened afterward. But now, I know it, leave this matter to me. Even if you hadn¡¯t asked me, I would have definitely gone to Heavenly Yao Sect to save Zixia. I will kill whoever dares to block me!¡± Ye Chuan tightly clenched his hands. Thinking about that sweet expression and affection of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he couldn¡¯t wait to return to the mainland for a moment. ¡°By the way, tell me, what exactly is your relation with Zixia?¡± ¡°Good, you are a man of character! As for my relation with Zixia, you don¡¯t need to poke your nose. But, I will tell you one thing, don¡¯t have any inordinate ambitions. After Zixia is rescued, I will no longer owe her anything, and I will no longer show you mercy. Hereafter, if you honestly just lord over Cloud Mist Mountain Range, then no-one will look to trouble you; but if you press your luck, then Daqin King and this lordship will never lift you off. At that time, don¡¯t blame this lordship for being ruthless! Past, present and future, these three bridges, all are roads to ruin. Whichever bridge you choose, you will have a bad end. If you choose past and future, you will immediately walk into the danger; choose the present and you will be trapped here in the Wheel of Imprisonment like me. The only way to live is to directly jump over this Reincarnation River!¡± Jiang Tunsheng paused for a moment and finally said the method to cross this river. Ye Chuan was startled and instinctively shook his head, ¡°Impossible, how is that possible? No one can jump over this river.¡± After stepping into the Reincarnation Path, one¡¯s body had gotten heavier and heavier and the sky was covered with even more powerful restriction fluctuation. Even after circulating eleven Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and using Remex Armguard, Ye Chuan had difficulty getting about, let alone jumping or flying. This Reincarnation River in front of his eyes, it was at least 20-30 meters wide, how could he jump over? Chapter 557: Devilish nature ¡°How to jump? You don¡¯t need to care about it, leave it to me.¡± The voice of State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng transmitted out from the Wheel of Imprisonment, and slowly added, ¡°The matter you promised me, did you consider it carefully? That crazy woman White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi however isn¡¯t easy to deal with.¡± ¡°No matter how powerful White Haired Heavenly Empress is, she will not be able to stop my steps. If I cannot save Zixia from under the Heavenly Yao Peak, then I am not a man!¡± Ye Chuan replied without any hesitation. After learning Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was suppressed under Heavenly Yao Peak, he was angrier than anyone else. Like Cloud Mist Sect, Heavenly Yao Sect had a deep relation with him. At that time, when Deacon Hou Shan, Elder Tianqing and others had made things difficult and humiliated him during the time he had gone to Heavenly Yao Sect to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, he had a thought to destroy Heavenly Yao Sect and eradicate it by roots, but after considering the old friendship with Blue Eyed Yao Empress, the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect, he was lenient. But now that White Haired Heavenly Empress had actually gone crazy and suppressed Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia under Heavenly Yao Peak never to see the sun again, they can¡¯t blame him! ¡°Hahaha, good, boy, come, this lordship will give you a helping him, jump over!¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng roared with laughter, and without waiting for the reply of Ye Chuan, he suddenly released his powerful cultivation. Instantly, the golden light of the Wheel of Imprisonment rose sharply and a hint of cyan light shot out from inside it and entered Ye Chuan¡¯s body. The latter trembled and his energy fluctuation multiplied. After that hint of cyan light entered his body, it transformed into unparalleled energy. This energy was very pure. This was the origin energy of a peak expert, was the energy essence of a super expert! Ye Chuan was excited as he quickly understood what was going on. Originally, he had many doubts. He didn¡¯t know how Jiang Tunsheng would help him, wondered how he knew the method to cross this Reincarnation River, and also didn¡¯t know what exactly the relation between Hong Zixia and him was, but he didn¡¯t have time to clarify them. The energy that entered into his body, not only it sharply increased his strength in a short moment, his physical body was also pushed to the limit of endurance and he began trembling. He even had the impulse to attack his next bottleneck and breakthrough to peak Daoist Master realm, otherwise with such an excessive amount of energy, his body would explode. ¡°What are you waiting for, jump!¡± Jiang Tunsheng roared. His voice exploded in the ears of Ye Chuan. The blood-red wings on the back of Ye Chuan flapped rapidly as he crazily circulated all eleven Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, then exerting all his strength of the tip of his toes, he jumped, breaking the binding of the restriction. At the end of Reincarnation Path, the restriction was especially powerful, making one¡¯s body very heavy, but, with the help of Jiang Tunsheng, Ye Chuan was able to jump high! Standing on the shoulder of a giant, one could stand higher and look farther. And with a giant using all his strength to support, one could create greater brilliance! In his past life when he concealed the heaven, even ordinary Sage realm experts wouldn¡¯t enter his eyes, in addition, he had Blue Eyed Yao Empress, Ghost Hand Medicinal King and other followers, who were also not ordinary people. In this life, he however needed to start from scratch and cultivate again, and now, even a peak Half-Sage realm experts like Jiang Tunsheng were a giant, were a high mountain that he could only look up to in the cultivation path for the current him! The higher he got in the air, the greater the pressure. Under the help of Jiang Tunsheng, Ye Chuan soared, rapidly feeling the pressure coming from the restrictions of Reincarnation World. But, with the inertia of jumping high, landing on the other side of this Reincarnation River was not a problem. A dazzling golden light suddenly came from not far away, and yet another Wheel of Imprisonment rose from Reincarnation River. It moved towards Ye Chuan as a cold voice resounded, ¡°Humph, jumping over just like this, do you ask this Lord Hou first?¡± Qing Tianhou! Qing Tianhou who evenly matched or even surpassed Jiang Tunsheng suddenly appeared, wanting to attack Ye Chuan! After the Seven-Colored Flying Swan Sword was taken by State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, these two experts had left the Flying Fish World while chasing one another. Then, they had broken into this Reincarnation World, and both were trapped in the Wheels of Imprisonment. Upon seeing the arrival of Ye Chuan, Jiang Tunsheng had lent a helping hand, but at the critical moment, Qing Tianhou however had suddenly made a fatal move. His timing was perfect, the vast amount of energy within the body of Ye Chuan was just exhausted. ¡°Qing Tianhou, you dare?¡± Jiang Tunsheng was furious. Since he couldn¡¯t use Emperor¡¯s Bow under the confinement of the Wheel of Imprisonment, he just used all his strength to move this Wheel of Imprisonment, wanting to collide with Qing Tianhou. Bang, the two Wheels of Imprisonment ferociously collided with each other. It was quick and fierce. It seemed that even though they were trapped in this Reincarnation River, they were contending against each other. They had collided many times and were equally matched. But now, Jiang Tunsheng was clearly in the disadvantage and was sent flying away. One had exhausted a large amount of energy to help Ye Chuan and the other was secretly preparing to make a fatal move, one could well imagine who would have an upper hand. ¡°Hahaha, Jiang Tunseng, since you want to help this brat, this Lord Hou will not let you have your way and kill him, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou roared with laughter. His Wheel of Imprisonment only paused for a moment, then rapidly rushed forward to collide against Ye Chuan. His speed was so amazing that there were sonic booms. If he collided directly against Ye Chuan, then he would definitely be crushed into a meat-pie! The blood-red wings on the back of Ye Chuan suddenly flapped and his falling body was raised half a meter up, narrowly avoiding the whistling Wheel of Imprisonment. Immediately afterward, he stepped on this Wheel of Imprisonment and jumped forward again and safely landed on the other side of Reincarnation River. Qing Tianhou made his Wheel of Imprisonment make a turn and ferociously rushed towards Ye Chuan again, but just before it was about to collide against Ye Chuan, it was blocked by the restriction of Reincarnation River. After being trapped in the Wheel of Imprisonment, Qing Tianhou was still unsettled, he rushed left and right, but he was confined within the limit of this Reincarnation River of mist and smoke. Even though he violently struggled to rush to the shore, it was impossible. Although his peak Half Sage realm cultivation base was very powerful, compared to the ancestor of Sea Demon Clan who had laid the restriction here, there was obviously a big gap. ¡°Your Excellency State Teacher, is there anything I can do to help you free from this imprisonment?¡± Ye Chuan asked, looking at Jiang Tunsheng floating up and down the Reincarnation River. After jumping over this Reincarnation River, the time and space gate was right in front of him. But, he didn¡¯t immediately leave, rather thought the ways to help Jiang Tunsheng. Although the latter was powerful, it seemed that it was difficult to struggle free from this imprisonment. He wondered how long he will be trapped here, or even might die in this place after losing all vitality. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, I have my own way. When I breakthrough to Sage realm, I can break this binding and free myself.¡± Jiang Tunsheng replied. ¡°Hahaha, what a wishful thinking, Jiang Tunsheng, it will be this Lord Hou that will make a breakthrough first. At that time, the first thing I do will be kill you, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Qing Tianhou laughed. Since he was unable to kill Ye Chuan, he turned to Jiang Tunsheng, this old enemy. Although they were trapped in the Wheels of Imprisonment, he was still arrogant and filled with killing intent. ¡°Qing Tianhou, you are the one who is having a wishful thinking. In the next three years, if I am unable to breakthrough to Sage realm, then Daqin King will definitely come to save him, but what about you? Who will come to save you? Can you breakthrough to Sage realm in three years?¡± Jiang Tunsheng coldly looked at Qing Tianhou and said. He then no longer fought a meaningless battle with him, instead, he took out the Seven-Colored Flying Swan Sword he had obtained in Flying Fish World and began to refine it. After refining this peerless treasure, not only he would recover his lost vitality, he might even press on to make a breakthrough, becoming the foremost expert of Wilderness World! The complexion of Qing Tianhou suddenly became pale. He then furiously glared at Ye Chuan and made the Wheel of Imprisonment sunk into the Reincarnation River to cultivate quietly. If it was not for Ye Chuan, the 18 Demongods Banner of golden sarcophagus and that Eternal Demonic Vermilion Flower would have been his, like that, even Jiang Tunsheng refined the Seven-Colored Flying Swan Sword, he would still be behind, and how could he still be so passive? The corpses of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples all along the way and the tragic death of Tuoba Xiong had made Ye Chuan filled with dense killing intent. He vowed to kill this great devil Qing Tianhou one day. Similarly, Qing Tianhou also hated Ye Chuan to death. Now he could only gnash his teeth and endure, but, he would breakthrough to Sage realm one day, then Jiang Tunsheng would be the first person he would kill, and then it would be Ye Chuan¡¯s turn! Chapter 558: Death befall ¡°Boy, don¡¯t forget your promise, go!¡± State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng looked at Ye Chuan and similarly sunk into the Reincarnation River to cultivate quietly. If an average person was trapped in the Wheel of Imprisonment, then he would have already died, but at the level of Qing Tianhou and his, they wouldn¡¯t die easily. They could recover the vitality consumed by the Wheel of Imprisonment using various means. Now, between them, whoever breakthrough to Sage realm first would be the last one to laugh. All along the way, Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng had tried to kill each other, and now, another contest had begun in this Reincarnation World. Jiang Tunsheng had a peerless treasure Seven Colored Flying Swan Sword. After refining it, his cultivation would definitely progress vastly, and with the addition of this flying sword, he would have an advantage. But, Qing Tianhou was not an ordinary expert, he was a mysterious expert that had come from the Outer World. No one knows what other means he had. Thus, who would laugh in the end was truly unpredictable. Jiang Tunsheng also didn¡¯t dare to be careless. After the two super experts sunk, the Reincarnation River quickly reverted back to its original state with past, present and future bridges over it. It appeared as if there was no danger. If Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t personally experienced it, then he wouldn¡¯t believe that there were two super experts below this Reincarnation River and also wouldn¡¯t have known the dangers of those three bridges. ¡°One grave one world, one step one reincarnation¡­¡­¡± Looking at this Reincarnation World for the last time, Ye Chuan turned around and stepped into the time and space gate. After feeling as if the world was spinning, he returned to the mountain shrouded in dense mist again. Looking around the Reincarnation Grave, he couldn¡¯t see any trace of footprints. It seemed Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were still in Flying Fish World and had yet to catch up. Ye Chuan took out a few crystals and laid down a hidden formation in the vicinity. This formation was very simple. It had no attack power. It was just a sign left behind for Old Demon of Mount Yin and others to let them know his track as well as warning them to not enter this Reincarnation Grave and follow after him. This formation was very simple. No one would pay any attention to it. But, its unique aura would quickly draw the attention of Old Demon of Mount Yin and others. After laying out this formation, Ye Chuan took out the Sea Demon Map and browsed it. He then rushed towards the final ancient grave. According to this ancient Sea Demon Map, the seventh grave was not far away from here. It was located at the summit of this mountain. When he got there, he would reunite with Zhu Sijia and others. In the Reincarnation World, there were heavy casualties among the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors, but now, since Qing Tianhou was trapped in Reincarnation World, they should be much safer. Thinking of the restrictions of that Reincarnation River and the Wheel of Imprisonment, Ye Chuan was a little relieved. But, he still rushed towards the seventh grave at full speed. Along the way, he truly didn¡¯t see any corpses. He could see the footprints left behind by Zhu Sijia and others from time to time. The distance between them was getting smaller and smaller. ¡°Jiajia, Xiaoniao, I am coming!¡± Ye Chuan was excited. He roared and accelerated again. Not long after, he could vaguely see a group of people in the midst of the dense mist, making him even more excited. He had chased after them for so long, finally, he had caught up to them! Ye Chuan was excited and his speed increased. But, when the distance between them was less than ten meters, he could clearly see that group, and he suddenly stopped. In the midst of the dense mist, there indeed was a group, but they weren¡¯t Zhu Sijia and others like he imagined, rather a group of undead creatures. Those with only bones were skeletons and those with flesh were zombies. There were also specters. They were wandering aimlessly in the midst of the dense mist. And when they sensed the aura of Ye Chuan, they turned around and rushed towards him. How could there be so many undead creatures here? Were they the adventurers who had died here before? Ye Chuan was puzzled and didn¡¯t care to move carelessly. He dodged the attacks of some skeletons while walking through this group of undead creatures. Then, he suddenly used Remex Armguard to fly away, leaving behind this group of undead creatures. But, he encountered another group of undead creatures not far away. And along the way, he began to discover the corpses of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples and sea demon warriors again. This discovery along the way delighted and also worried Ye Chuan. Discovering the corpses of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples and sea demon warriors here proved that Zhu Sijia and others had successfully passed Reincarnation World. Although he didn¡¯t know the method used by Sea Demon Patriarch to cross the Reincarnation Path and Reincarnation River along with everyone, when all was said and done, it was good news that they were able to leave that world. But, these strange and fierce undead creatures were worrying now. If one was careless, then one would be torn into pieces by these undead creatures. Ye Chuan began to accelerate and went straight towards the last grave marked on the Sea Demon Map. All along the way, he encountered more and more undead creatures, but he either avoided them or forcibly crushed them, brandishing the Iron Blooded Banner. It just happened to be the nemesis of these undead creatures. While rushing to the summit, Ye Chuan was intercepted by a large group of skeleton soldiers. This time, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t avoid them. He rushed forward while brandishing the Iron Blooded Banner and sent the skeleton soldiers blocking his path flying. The main flaw of these undead creatures wasn¡¯t slow speed, rather it was their very low defense. Unless it was the heaven defying undead creature on the level of Ghost King Dusen, no one could stop the path of Ye Chuan. With eleven Heaven Swallowing Talismans, he had the strength of 198,000 jin, who can withstand this kind of strength? Ye Chuan was very worried about the safety of Zhu Sijia and others, so he rushed forward towards the summit while choosing the simplest and the most ruthless method of bulldozing through all obstacles. After defeating this large group of skeleton soldiers, when he had just accelerated towards the summit, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura. In the front, there was a familiar back view in the midst of the dense mist. It was a graceful figure with long legs that could make many women jealous. Her clothing was stained with blood and she was staggering as if she would collapse at any time. ¡°Jiajia?¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan shone and was about to rush forward, but, several skeleton soldiers were chasing after him. Thus, with a cold expression, he brandished the Iron Blooded Banner and smashed them into pieces. Then, he turned around to Zhu Sijia. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, don¡¯t come, don¡¯t come here!¡± Zhu Sijia screamed from far away. Her voice was hoarse, ¡°Dead, everyone is dead, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, quickly leave, turn around and leave this place. This is not a racial holy land, is just a huge graveyard. No matter how many people came, all will die. Going forward, even a Sage will die, leave, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, quickly leave!¡± There were bloodstains all over Zhu Sijia, and her hair was also hung down loosely, covering her face, but Ye Chuan could clearly see that she was frightened as if there was the most terrifying yao beast or great devil behind her. The heart of Ye Chuan paused for a moment. He had known Zhu Sijia for a long time, but he had never seen her so scared. He wanted to rush forward, but his steps involuntarily stopped and his heartbeat accelerated. The seven graves marked on the Sea Demon Map were one more dangerous than others. Even super experts Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng were trapped in the sixth grave, what about the seventh grave? What kind of dangers lied inside? What kind of dangers did Zhu Sijia and others face? Could it be that there was an ultimate yao beast running rampage in the seventh grave world? Ye Chuan how had explored countless ominous domains in his previous life also couldn¡¯t help getting nervous! Chapter 559: Who should I believe? Zhu Sijia got closer and closer. Looking at her bloodstained appearance, it seemed that she was seriously injured. When she got close, she stretched out her hand to Ye Chuan. ¡°Jiajia¡­¡­¡± The eyelids of Ye Chuan twitched as he felt something was wrong, but he still stretched out his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t, noble son Ye, don¡¯t go together with her!¡± Yet another familiar voice suddenly resounded. Ye Chuan turned around and unexpectedly saw Tuoba Xiaoniao walking out from the dense mist behind. Her clothing was in a mess and she had bloodstains and cuts all over her body. As for the group of skeleton soldiers chasing after him, they had disappeared without a trace at an unknown time. ¡°Xiaoniao, is that you?¡± Ye Chuan was startled and his feeling of uneasiness became even stronger, ¡°Didn¡¯t Jiajia just say that you all have already died? You¡­¡­¡± ¡°I am not dead, it¡¯s Jiajia, Sea Demon Patriarch and others who had died, only I escaped alone.¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao rushed over with bear feet. She looked nervous and frightened. ¡°Noble son Ye, they are all dead. She is not Jiajia, rather a specter that want to harm you. Now, there are countless undead creatures behind us, there is no route to retreat, we can only go over this mountain to escape, noble son Ye, go, quickly go¡­¡­¡± ¡°You are the specter, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, don¡¯t listen to her, Tuoba Xiaoniao has already died, I witness an undead creature breaking her neck!¡± Zhu Sijia hastily said. Upon seeing Tuoba Xiaoniao behind Ye Chuan, she was frightened and nervous, but she still mustered her courage and continued to rush over. She then grabbed the hand of Ye Chuan and thought to pull him away from this place, lest she would be too late. A bone-chilling coldness spread all over his body from his hand. Ye Chuan suddenly felt chill. He could clearly feel that the body temperature of Zhu Sijia was unusual, but looking at the bloodstained face of Zhu Sijia, he felt tingling pain in his heart and didn¡¯t struggle free. ¡°Noble son Ye, don¡¯t believe her, the real Jiajia has already died, this is just a specter¡­¡­¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao also rushed over. Although her feet were already dripping with blood, she didn¡¯t care. She then grabbed the other hand of Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, let¡¯s go, quickly¡­¡­¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, come with me!¡± ¡°Noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao each grabbed one hand of Ye Chuan, and accused each other of being a specter. What exactly is going on here? Who should I believe? Ye Chuan was in dilemma. He was panic-stricken and restless like never before. He even felt fear. One was his junior apprentice sister who had accompanied him for a long time, and the other was beautiful endearing little bird. Who was real? Who should he believe at this moment? The dense mist became even denser. Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao were still arguing, but Ye Chuan slowly calmed down. He stood still and didn¡¯t go anywhere, but his eyes were getting redder and redder. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what happened?¡± ¡°Noble son Ye, noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao noticed the abnormality of Ye Chuan and exclaimed in unison. Ye Chuan however didn¡¯t reply. Merely, his eyes got redder and tears could be seen in his eyes. And after a long time, he softly said, ¡°Don¡¯t argue, as a matter of fact, you all have already died, right?¡± After a brief panic, Ye Chuan calmed down. The coldness he was feeling from the hands of Zhu Sijia was different from the usual coldness. The hands of Tuoba Xiaoniao was also the same. In addition, although these two were bickering with each other in a fierce tone, their eyes looked dull without any expression. Who was Ye Chuan? He once was a Heaven Concealing Great Sage who dominated the entire Wilderness World. He had experienced many changes and storms. From the appearance of Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, he could clearly see that they were no longer living beings. If other people were in their place, or other ghosts, then Ye Chuan would have already destroyed them without any hesitation so that they would quickly enter the reincarnation cycle, but since these two women were incomparably close to him, he was unable to raise his hand. Living people and ghosts, the farthest distance in the world was not the ends of the world, rather the distance between a living person and a ghost. The nose of Ye Chuan turned sour and his eyes gradually blurred. All along the way, he was desperate to catch up to them while hoping the safety of Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, but he didn¡¯t expect that near the end of his journey, the matter he was most worried about happened, both of them were killed! Ye Chuan suddenly felt stabbing pain in his heart as if someone had ruthlessly stabbed his heart. This kind of feeling, he had not felt for a long time. When he had felt this feeling before, he was still Heaven Concealing Great Sage¡­¡­ Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao who had been arguing simultaneously let go of Ye Chuan¡¯s hands. Then, along with an evil wind, their true face was revealed. ¡°Big¡­ Senior¡­ Apprentice¡­ Brother¡­¡­, I died so miserably, you must avenge me¡­¡­¡± The voice of Zhu Sijia resounded as she floated around Ye Chuan along with the evil wind. She was unwilling to leave Ye Chuan. ¡°Noble¡­ son¡­ Ye, I feel cold, don¡¯t leave me¡­ don¡¯t¡­¡­¡± The faint voice of Tuoba Xiaoniao also resounded as her body got colder and colder. Both of them circulated around Ye Chuan as if even though they had already become a ghost, they were unwilling to leave his side. ¡°Jiajia, Xiaoniao, rest assured, I will avenge you all. Then, I will break into the Underworld, recapture your souls, and help you refine a new body!¡± Ye Chuan said word by word. He then used a technique, wanting to put away these two specters into the Cyan Lotus Space. One day, he will revive them. Although the chance of reviving them was very low, he would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope. He couldn¡¯t do it now didn¡¯t mean that he wouldn¡¯t be able to do in the future too. When he broke through to Sage realm again, he will be able to use many great techniques of his previous life! ¡°Hahaha, hahahahaha¡­¡­, this boy truly has some skill, no wonder he was able to leave Reincarnation Grave, hahahahaha¡­¡­¡± At that time, Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao simultaneously roared with laughter. And this voice clearly wasn¡¯t their original voice. ¡°Bold evil spirits!¡± Ye Chuan was furious and he immediately brandished Iron Blooded Banner towards these two female ghosts. Hearing that laughter, he understood that he was tricked. Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao in front of his eyes were clearly certain super experts or the clones of peerless evil spirits. Just a moment ago, if he had left with any one of them, then he might have stepped into a trap! But just before the heavy Iron Blooded Banner hit these two female ghosts, these female ghosts suddenly transformed into a mist and dissipated along with the evil wind. Then, arrogant laughter came from the midst of the mist, ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, boy, you have some skill, but it¡¯s just that. This time, this lord believed that some super experts have broken in, but it turned out to be just so-so, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± The harsh laughter was getting farther and farther. And it just happened to be coming from the direction of the seventh grave marked on the Sea Demon Map. The eyes of Ye Chuan shone with pallid light. He then hesitated for a bit and chased after the voice. Looking for this mysterious peerless evil spirit was secondary, what truly worried him the most was the safety of Tuoba Xiaoniao, Zhu Sijia and others. He wondered where they are now and what they encountered. Chapter 560: A peerless evil spiri t The mist was still dense. The closer to the summit of this mountain, the denser the mist was. With Iron Blooded Banner in his hand, Ye Chuan rushed forward, and not long after, he arrived at his destination. Compared to previous graves, the seventh grave marked on the Sea Demon Map was much smaller and it also looked very ordinary. But, not to mention there were many undead creatures around this grave, there was also an ancient isolation restriction around it. Without a wealth of experience and extreme patience, even with Sea Demon Map, one might walk past this grave without noticing it. Ye Chuan stood still and carefully sized up this grave. The evil spirits that had transformed into Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao had already disappeared without a trace, but that ear-piercing laughter was still vaguely reverberating in the air. Without a doubt, those evil spirits had already retreated into the grave world. If Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others were still alive, then they must be inside this grave world. All along the way, Ye Chuan had killed countless undead creatures while rushing over here, but when he arrived in front of the seventh grave, he however stopped. What is the background of that peerless evil spirit? What kind of world does this final grave mark on the Sea Demon Map have? Is there the real Lost City, or¡­¡­ Ye Chuan hesitated for a bit, but he forcibly suppressed his restlessness and calmly observed. At this moment, he absolutely couldn¡¯t be anxious and act rashly. A single misstep might lead to unredeemable consequences. A cold wind blew and the mist became a bit thinner. Then, a hint of faint light flashed before the eyes of Ye Chuan. He walked over to see and it turned out to be a piece of half-buried stone tablet. Ye Chuan waved his hand and dug out this stone tablet. He didn¡¯t know what was used to forge this tone tablet, but even after such a long period of time, this stone tablet was still shiny and smooth. On the back of this stone tablet, a boundless sea was depicted, and on the front, the words ¡®Sea Emperor Grave¡¯ was carved. Sea Emperor Grave¡­¡­, these two words ¡®Sea Emperor¡¯, does that mean Great Monarch Sea Emperor, or Emperor Sea Demon, or¡­¡­ Ye Chuan frown, he racked his brains but was still unable to determine whether those words represent Great Monarch Sea Emperor or Emperor Sea Demon. Even in his previous life, he had never heard of such an expert in Overseas World. The words ¡®Sea Emperor¡¯, they might mean something else, naturally, it might also be too old for him to hear. That powerful peerless evil spirit and the unfathomable grave world made Ye Chuan feel unprecedented danger. After carefully observing the stone tablet for a while, Ye Chuan took out a message talisman and crushed it. Then, an energy fluctuation spread far away. This energy fluctuation was somewhat distinctive. It wasn¡¯t very huge, but it could be transmitted far away in this dense mist. It could even pierce through the restriction and transmitted inside the grave world. Ye Chuan made a prompt decision and urgently summoned Old Demon of Mount Yin and others. In the Flying Fish World, he boldly took the leave first, wanting to quickly catch up to Zhu Sijia and others, but after arriving here, he was especially careful. Just a moment ago, he had experienced how powerful that peerless evil spirit was, moreover, it was already so rampant outside, who knows how powerful it was in its lair. Rushing in rashly was just like a moth darting into a flame. In addition, if Zhu Sijia and others were still alive, then it was certain that they were inside this grave. And if this peerless evil spirit wanted to kill Zhu Sijia and others, then they might have already been killed. If not, then there must be a scheme, thus, there was even greater reason to not rashly burst into this grave. Ye Chuan calmly thought and waited quietly ignoring the laughter coming from inside the grave world. In the distance, whistling sounds resounded which gradually got closer and closer. Ye Chuan who was quietly standing in front of a grave suddenly looked over and shouted. After a little while, several familiar figures rushed out from the dense mist. They were none other than Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend Abasi and Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo. All of them had rushed over here. Although they were somewhat panting, they looked excited. It was clear that they had just come out of the Flying Fish World. ¡°How was it? Who among you four got the greatest benefit?¡± Ye Chuan asked. Upon seeing these four powerful followers, he felt somewhat relieved. These four were very powerful, especially Plague Archfiend Abasi and Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo, they were Half Sage realm experts. Even against Qing Tianhou, they could give a good fight. Unfortunately, Outlying islands Sanren was heavily injured and was recuperating in Cyan Lotus Space, otherwise, with these five experts together, their fighting power would be even stronger. ¡°Kekeke, although the cultivation of Abasi and Jin Teluo is a bit higher than me, when it comes to seizing treasures, they are far inferior to me.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes laughed heartily with a satisfied look. Compared to Rain Demon and others, he truly had a unique advantage. Others only had a pair of hands, but as a vine demon, he however could summon thousands of vines to seize treasures. Thus, his efficiency was naturally extraordinary. His killer move, Chaotic Vine Dance, had shocking might in a chaotic battle, and it was also very useful in seizing treasures. ¡°Not bad, what kind of treasures did you seize? Take out and let me see.¡± Ye Chuan laughed and said to complacent Old Demon of Mount Yin. The old fellow smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°This¡­¡­, in fact, I didn¡¯t seize any good things, they are all ordinary items¡­¡­¡± He had encountered such an opportunity with great difficulty, how could he not seize good treasures? But, he didn¡¯t want to easily hand them over. For seizing those flying swords, he had nearly fallen into the water and nearly become food for the fishes. ¡°All are ordinary items? Okay, then forget it.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, making Old Demon of Mount Yin sigh in relief. Then, he changed his words and said, ¡°I will let you keep them for the time being, you will need to take them out later. In any case, you are a vine demon, cultivating true build of vine demon is the right way, what do you want to do with so many flying swords?¡± The poor Old Demon of Mount Yin was unable to remain happy for a long time and sadly stared at Ye Chuan. ¡°Your Excellency, why did you suddenly ask us to rush over? Did you find that fellow Qing Tianhou?¡± Diamond Ape King interjected. When he mentioned Qing Tianhou, he looked ferocious and emitted dense killing intent. It appeared as if he wanted to fight to the death against the latter. Although he was defeated again and again by Qing Tianhou, he clearly refused to give in. Until he smashed Qing Tianhou to a meat pulp, he would never give up. ¡°It¡¯s not Qing Tianhou, that fellow is already trapped in the sixth grave. It is impossible for him to come out within the next few years.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and ceased smiling. ¡°Your Excellency, then why did you suddenly summon us?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin asked. ¡°The final grave marked on the Sea Demon Map is here. It is also very likely that the true Lost City is located here. But, inside this grave, there is a peerless evil spirit who is even more powerful than Qing Tianhou.¡± Ye Chuan said calmly, but he looked solemn. Speaking about the peerless evil spirit that had returned to this Sea Emperor Grave, his heart felt heavy. Although he had not exchanged blows with that peerless evil spirit, he had a hunch that that peerless evil spirit was even more powerful than Qing Tianhou! Even if Zhu Sijia and others were not dead, it would be difficult to save them from the hands of this evil spirit, More powerful than Qing Tianhou? Old Demon of Mount Yin was greatly shocked. And along with Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend Abasi and Diamond Ape King, all four experts became pale. Chapter 561: Octopus Empress The words of Ye Chuan greatly shocked everyone. Even Diamond Ape King was frightened. Qing Tianhou was already powerful enough, but now they had to face an evil spirit that was even more powerful than him. What kind of existence was it? How could they deal with it? The four experts simultaneously became pale, but after a while, with Ye Chuan leading in the front, they toughened their scalp and stepped into the dark tombpassage. After they felt like heaven and earth were spinning, this group of five appeared on an island. The island was full was fragrant flowers and lush trees. The air was also very fresh and it was surrounded by the seas as far as the eye could see. It was like a peerless paradise. Even the worldly spiritual qi was several times denser than outside. One could get twice the benefit with half the effort in cultivation. Countless cultivators of Overseas World wanted to find this kind of island and dreamed about living on such an island. But, Ye Chuan and others weren¡¯t happy, they looked nervous and restless. Not far away in the front, above a rock on the beach, there was a terrifying monster. This was a woman. She was a devastating beauty with an angelic face and devilish figure. Her clothing was very thin. She was wearing a thin skintight battle robe and short leather skirt, revealing a pair of slender legs that were not any inferior to Zhu Sijia¡¯s. Her skin was even whiter and smoother. Her curvy figure was very hot, but her hands made people feel chill down their spine. Her exposed arm appeared pretty good, but there were countless forks on her shoulders, resembling thousands of tentacles. And the tip of each tentacle bound a person. They were none other than Zhu Sijia and others. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, quickly run, don¡¯t come!¡± ¡°Noble son Ye, noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors caught in the hands of this peerless beauty shouted in succession. Some urged Ye Chuan to run away, and some watched Ye Chuan, waiting for him to save them. After taking a quick look around, Ye Chuan saw Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Sea Demoness Hai Lili, Little Long¡¯er and others, and finally, he laid down his worries. Although this situation was anything but reassuring, Zhu Sijia and others were still alive, this was not the worst moment yet. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­, boy, you truly broke in. Not bad, you have a bit of courage, but it¡¯s too bad, courageous people generally don¡¯t live long, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± The peerless beauty laughed heartily. And seeing her smiling appearance, the people caught in her hands trembled. ¡°Who exactly are you?¡± Ye Chuan was shocked inwardly. This strange peerless beauty made him recall that tentacle monster he had encountered when he was exploring Outer World in the spirit form before and became even more restless. Old Demon of Mount Yin could also use his unique killer move to summon tens of thousands of vines similar to this evil spirit in front of them, but there was a huge gap in their combat power. Even then Old Demon of Mount Yin was insufficient to even put up a good fight. ¡°Hahaha, who am I? Boy, you have already broken into my grave but you still don¡¯t know who this lord is?¡± The peerless beauty laughed heartily and her figure suddenly swayed, then several tentacles flew towards Ye Chuan and others. ¡°Your Excellency, watch out!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others exclaimed and used their techniques to deal with these tentacles. Diamond Ape King narrowed his eyes and moving to the side of Ye Chuan, he raised the Golden Rod and ferociously swung down, wanting to break these tentacles. But, beyond his imagination, not only these tentacles didn¡¯t break, those tentacles bound his golden rod, then spread out to wrap his hands and legs. Compared to the vines of Old Demon of Mount Yin, not only these tentacles were tougher, moreover, they were also very agile. She could truly control them freely like her arms. The hands and legs of Half Sage realm Diamond Ape King were instantly bound. Fortunately, at that moment, before those tentacles could make any other move, Rain Demon and others rushed over. Plague Archfiend instantly transformed into his true Three Eyed Toad form, and opening his mouth wide, he spat out a mouthful of his essence magic flame to burn a tentacle; at the same time, Rain Demon holding a sharp showed also rushed over and chopped off a tentacle; the other two tentacles were chopped off by Ye Chuan and Old Demon of Mount Yin. ¡°Your tentacles are so powerful, but take a look at this lord¡¯s unique skill, kakaka¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and used his unique killer move. Then, hundreds of thousands of vines appeared and whistled towards that peerless beauty, initiating the counterattack. Ye Chuan wanted to stop him in his heart, but it was already too late. ¡°Trifling skill, just a vine demon but you also wants to be wanton here!¡± The beautiful woman sneered and took a step forward. At that time, Ye Chuan and others noticed that a black rune chain bound her each leg, and the other end of that rune chain disappeared into the sea. But, they didn¡¯t have any time to think more, they saw this beauty grabbing the empty air and all vines stopped in midair. Buzz! A hint of red light flashed through the sky. Ye Chuan used Dragon Slaying Flying Sword without any hesitation to chop off the vines of Old Demon of Mount Yin. If Ye Chuan was a little slower in making a move, this peerless beauty might have crushed him. Old Demon of Mount Yin who desired to see the world plunged into chaos in former days suddenly became pale. Just a moment ago when that peerless beauty had made a move, he had no power to resist. Compared to Qing Tianhou, this peerless beauty whose legs were bound with rune chains was many times more powerful! ¡°She is not Half Sage realm, absolutely not, Your¡­¡­, Your Excellency, she is a Sage realm heaven-defying evil spirit¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin muttered. He was very frightened. In Five Fingered Buddhist Cave, he originally was just a small vine demon, but in his long life, he had seen many powerful beings. He was very knowledgeable, thus he quickly understood how terrifying this peerless beauty was. Ye Chuan remained silent. He put away Dragon Slaying Flying Sword and took out Iron Blooded Banner. Although the energy fluctuation of this peerless beauty appeared weak, just looking at her eyes, the glabella of Ye Chuan twitched and the Cyan Lotus Lamp within his body also got hotter. He knew that this was a very powerful evil spirit. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, you all are somewhat knowledgeable, but, even if you all are knowledgeable, nothing change, obediently allow yourselves to be seized with your hands tied and receive death, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± The peerless woman heartily laughed and her body started to shake. After a moment, she transformed into a huge octopus. This form was far bigger than the true form of Plague Archfiend Abasi and Diamond Ape King, moreover, the energy fluctuation she emitted now was even more heaven-defying. It rose sharply to a terrifying level. In the blink of an eye, just the invisible air blast made all five of them step back in succession. They were unable to even stand stably. Sure enough, she was a Sage realm expert! No, accurately speaking, Mid Sage realm! This was a Mid Sage realm octopus monster, was the true overlord of the seas, was Octopus Empress! Ye Chuan turned pale with fright and his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated as he recalled the three words ¡®Sea Emperor Grave¡¯ carved on the stone tablet. He finally understood the true identity of this evil spirit. But, how to deal with this ferocious evil spirit? Chapter 562: The fragments of Lost City After this peerless evil spirit transformed into a huge octopus form, everyone trembled. Not to mention captured disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors, even Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and others involuntarily shuddered. From peak Daoist Master realm to Half Sage realm, there was a big gap, and from Half Sage realm to Sage realm, there was an even bigger gap. If one encountered a half Sage realm expert, then the cooperation of several people might be able to put up a good fight, but if one encountered a Sage realm expert, then no matter the number, they were absolutely not the opponent, it was useless to even put up a fight. Not to mention encountering Mid Sage realm expert, she could crush all of them with her finger. Hundreds of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples and sea demon warriors captured alive were the fine example of this. ¡°Hahaha, boy, come! If you can reach within three meters of this lord, then I will consider it your win and spare all your lives, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Octopus Empress laughed heartily and her tentacles wriggled. This frightened the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors so much that they screamed. ¡°Your Excellency¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others looked at Ye Chuan in unison. They looked tense. This Octopus Empress was so powerful than it was impossible to defeat her, but if they rushed up together, then approaching within her three meters was possible. The four experts were eager to give it a try, they toughen their scalp and prepared to rush up together. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors also watch over in unison and closed their mouth. Now, their life and death were in the hands of Ye Chuan and others. ¡°Put away your weapons.¡± Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t step forward bravely and led these four experts to rush up. He instead took the initiative to put his Iron Blooded Banner away. It appeared as if he was actually taking the initiative to allow himself to be seized with his hands tied. ¡°Your Excellency, this¡­¡­¡± ¡°Noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Everyone was greatly surprised, regardless of Old Demon of Mount Yin or Sea Demon Patriarch, everyone exclaimed in fear. Since the time they had went out to the seas, they had faced many dangers along the way. Ghost King Dusen, noble son Blacksnake, Blacksnake Demon God, Qing Tianhou¡­¡­, which one was not extremely vicious? But, no matter how dangerous it was, when did Ye Chuan ever give up? All along the way, no matter what dangers he faced, he had persisted gritted his teeth, but now, even though Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others were caught in front of him, Ye Chuan took the initiative to give up, allowing himself to be seized with his hands tied, this¡­¡­ Everyone was caught unprepared, they looked shocked, disheartened and even incomparably disappointed. In particular, Sea Demon Patriarch who was caught in a tentacle, he nearly lost his consciousness. He had requested Ye Chuan to go out to the seas and explore their racial holy land to have the aid of his strength. All along the way, Ye Chuan truly didn¡¯t disappoint him, but at this last juncture, Ye Chuan however¡­¡­ Sea Demon Patriarch felt like vomiting blood. Although this Octopus Empress was very powerful, how come he gave up without even trying to fight? ¡°Boy, are you afraid?¡± Octopus Empress was also very surprised. She had already set up her posture and was waiting for Ye Chuan and others to rush up. She was prepared to display her might and make Ye Chuan and others taste the bitterness. But, who would have thought that Ye Chuan would take the initiative to put his weapon way? After thinking for a little while, Octopus Empress was still unreconciled and said, ¡°Boy, why don¡¯t you make a few moves? Okay, not three meters, if you can reach within seven meters of this lord, I will consider this your win, how about it?¡± ¡°Your Excellency Sea Emperor, is that so amusing? Speak, why on earth did you take great pains to attract us here?¡± Ye Chuan came straight to the point. After Octopus Empress displayed her true form and true strength, Ye Chuan had already made the choice. As a former Great Sage who once dominated the entire Wilderness World, no one knew better than him about how powerful a Sage realm expert was. Only another Half Sage realm expert can deal with a Half Sage realm. No matter how powerful a peak Daoist Master realm expert was, he was useless against a Half Sage realm. At best, he could only escape unscathed. As for a Sage realm expert, it was even more like that, only another Sage realm expert could deal with a Sage realm expert.Thus, in front of this peerless evil spirit Octopus Empress, even with them five together, it was useless. The strength of the other party was transcendent, this was one matter, but what made Ye Chuan give up this fight was the purpose of this Octopus Empress. This fellow was already so powerful, if she wanted to kill people, then Zhu Sijia and others would have already died, how could they still be alive? Similarly, she wanted to kill him, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, then she would have attacked immediately! Since Octopus Empress hadn¡¯t done so, she must have a purpose, or even a matter she wanted to ask! Ye Chuan thought rapidly. When other people were shocked and fearful by the strength of Octopus Empress, he however was calmly guessing the purpose of this evil spirit. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Octopus Empress laughed heartily. Her body shook and transformed back into her peerless beauty form. Now, her gaze looking at Ye Chuan had a hint of admiration, ¡°Good, good, people who can come out from Reincarnation World truly has some capability. Although your cultivation is not up to much, far inferior to those two trapped in Reincarnation River, your head is much smarter, perhaps, you truly can complete a task for me, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± The eyes of Octopus Empress suddenly shone, and it appeared as if she could see through all secrets of Ye Chuan. In front of her, no one can hide any secrets. At that time, cold energy circulated within the body of Ye Chuan from head to toe, then it slowly faded away beside his eleventh Heaven Swallowing Talisman. Sure enough, this evil spirit had something she wanted! The eyes of Ye Chuan lit up and he inwardly felt relieved. As long as this Octopus Empress had a demand, it was easy to handle this matter, ¡°Your Excellency the Emperor, what is the task?¡± ¡°Gather all remaining fragments of Lost City, even one less won¡¯t do!¡± Octopus Empress said word by word. She looked solemn and ceased to smile, ¡°Ye Chuan, was it? As long as you help this lord complete this task, I will release these two women, how about that?¡± The Octopus Empress spoke as she released her tentacles. Numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors fell down. Some fell on the sandy beach and some directly fell into the river, but all of them hastily fled towards Ye Chuan, wanting to get as far away as possible from this Octopus Empress. Although Sea Demon Patriarch was oldest in age, his speed was the fastest. Now, only Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao were in the hands of Octopus Empress and she used them to threaten Ye Chuan. ¡°The fragments of Lost City?¡± Ye Chuan looked at still badly shaken Sea Demon Patriarch. This was the first time he heard this information after breaking into this mountain shrouded in dense mist. So, he asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t this the Lost City? What do you mean by fragments? What exactly is going on here?¡± It was practically impossible to win a direct battle, so Ye Chuan was forced to drag on while secretly thinking of ways to rescue Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao. But, at the same time, he was also curious about what was going on here. Sea Demon Patriarch who was standing behind him was also confused as if he also didn¡¯t know what was going on with those so-called fragments of Lost City. Chapter 563: Nothing to ask ¡°Boy, don¡¯t think about delaying for time and play some tricks, it¡¯s useless.¡± The eyes of Octopus Empress shone with pallid light. She saw thought the thoughts of Ye Chuan, but she basically didn¡¯t care and indifferently said, ¡°This is not the Lost City, it¡¯s just an ancient grave world. As for the real Lost City, it has already been broken into pieces a long time ago. Some pieces are scattered in some ancient graves, and some are scattered throughout the Wilderness World.¡± Octopus Empress took a few steps forward and rune chain that bound her legs chattered. Even a Sage realm evil spirit was chained and unable to break free, how powerful was this rune chain? Ye Chuan was surprised inwardly. It seemed that this Octopus Empress was already suppressed for a long time. He couldn¡¯t help wondering which heaven-defying expert of Sea Demon Clan had suppressed this peerless evil spirit here. ¡°Your Excellency Sea Emperor, you mean¡­¡­, I have to gather the numerous fragments of Lost City for you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, gather the fragments of Lost City.¡± Octopus Empress nodded her head and said, ¡°After gathering all fragments of Lost City, the ancient Lost City will appear in this world again. That is the real racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan. And it is also the only way to remove my shackles. Now, I have already collected all the fragments scattered in ancient grave worlds, only the fragments outside are left. When you gathered all of them, this lord will release these two women, boy, how about it?¡± A gruesome smile appeared on the face of Octopus Empress as she waved her tentacles, suddenly raising Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao high, then tossing them down. The two fell down rapidly and just a moment before they collided against the ground, they were caught and were tossed high again. The two women were so scared that they screamed again and again as this process repeated. They didn¡¯t know what kind of restriction was used on them by Octopus Empress, they were unable to move and could only helplessly watch the death brushing past them. The onlooking people took a few steps back and gnashed their teeth. Watching such crazy action of Octopus Empress, they wished to tear her body to thousands of pieces if they could. But, regardless of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, no one dared to act rashly. This evils spirit was too powerful. Mid Sage realm, even if everyone attacked together, they were not her opponent. The eyelid of Ye Chuan twitched and killing intent began to float in his heart. He was more furious compared to anyone around, but he endured his fury and calmly said, ¡°Your Excellency Sea Emperor, where are those missing fragments of Lost City? How can I collect them? Furthermore, since my cultivation is so shallow, I fear¡­¡­¡± ¡°Each fragment of Lost City has a special fluctuation, just like this, you can sense it when you are in its vicinity.¡± Octopus Empress suddenly used a technique and a thing that looked like a rock but not a rock emerged on the sea surface. Immediately, an ancient and tragic aura spread all around. Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were shocked. Sea Demon Patriarch and all the clansmen of Sea Demon Clan however knelt down. They sensed the aura of their homeland and tears stream down their cheeks. ¡°Each fragment of Lost City might vary in shape and size, but their aura is the same, boy, memorize this aura.¡± Octopus Empress paused and added, ¡°As for your cultivation, it is indeed not up to much, if you encounter a powerful expert, you will not be able to take the fragment of Lost City even if you found it. How about this, for each fragment you bring back, I will give you a reward to improve your cultivation. As long as you work hard enough, not to mention Half Sage realm, even reaching Sage realm is not impossible.¡± After shocking Ye Chuan and others with her great strength, Octopus Empress tossed out benefits. She used both stick and carrot ways to make Ye Chuan work to bones for her. ¡°Noble son Ye, agree her!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch urged. Seeing Ye Chuan was silent, he however couldn¡¯t was impatient. When the fragments of ancient Lost City had emerged on the sea surface, he found it difficult to control himself. For Octopus Empress, gathering all the fragments of Lost City was the only way to free herself from her shackles. But, it was also very important for Sea Demon Clan. As long as all the fragments were collected, their racial holy land, Lost City, would emerge again. Then, regaining the former glory of their Sea Demon Clan wouldn¡¯t just be a dream! The sea demon warriors looked at Ye Chuan with expectation. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others however were different. They were nervous and worried in their heart. This Octopus Empress had such a heaven-defying cultivation level, but even she was unable to complete this task for so millions of years, this task naturally was incomparably dangerous. The remaining fragments might be buried deep in a dense forest no one knew or might already be in the hands of certain great experts, how could it be so easy to gather them? ¡°Well, Your Excellency Sea Emperor, I agree you, I will do my best to gather the fragments of Lost City for you, but¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan paused and looked at Octopus Empress and added, ¡°I don¡¯t want any reward, I can breakthrough to Sage realm on my own someday, as long as you release Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, I have nothing to ask.¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± ¡°Noble son Ye, don¡¯t, don¡¯t!¡± Everyone was shocked. As for Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao who were still caught by Octopus Empress, their eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡­, boy, I truly didn¡¯t expect that you are this kind of person!¡± Octopus Empress roared with laughter. Then, her complexion turned cold and lifted both Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao very high, ¡°But, boy, do you have the qualification to bargain with me?¡± ¡°Your Excellency Sea Emperor, with your cultivation, you can easily kill them, and even all of us. But, if you think you can do whatever you want like this, then you are wrong.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently replied, making a move that surprised everyone. He walked towards Octopus Empress while speaking. Old Demon of Mount Yin reached out to stop him, but he was a step too slow. Walking over like this, wasn¡¯t Ye Chuan just courting death? Everyone became pale. Octopus Empress was also surprised and she lowered her tentacles that bound Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao. ¡°Your Excellency Sea Emperor, I will exchange a life for a life, let Jiajia and Xiaoniao go, I will be your hostage and let my subordinates gather the remaining fragments of Lost City for you, how about it?¡± Ye Chuan calmly took one step after another, getting closer and closer to Octopus Empress. Even in front of this Mid Sage realm peerless evil spirit, he didn¡¯t show any fear. ¡°Boy, are you truly not afraid of death? Or, do you truly think that this lord doesn¡¯t dare to kill you?¡± Octopus Empress sneered and released her terrifying energy fluctuation. ¡°This lord can kill you all and wait for another one hundred years for the next fated person. Boy, I am going you a way to live, but it seems that you are truly tired of living!¡± Invisible gale suddenly blew the sands and people felt strong killing intent. In an instant, everyone including Diamond Ape King and others became very tense. Chapter 564: Neptune Horn Everyone was very tense. Ye Chuan who was directly facing Octopus Empress however was calm without any change in his expression. He just looked at the Octopus Empress who was releasing string killing intent and indifferently said, ¡°The restriction of Lost City gets weak once every one hundred years, Your Excellency Sea Emperor, if you wait for another one hundred years, naturally, another group of people will come, but, no one might necessarily be able to arrive here passing through many ancient grave worlds.¡± Octopus Empress who was preparing to make a move suddenly stiffened. Yes, there were countless ancient graves here and every ancient grave world had many treasures sealed within them. A hundred years later, even if people came in, who could resist the temptation of treasures and not break into those grave worlds? In the end, how many would be able to arrive here? Octopus Empress remained silent, but her killing intent gradually dispersed. Even Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, these two super experts, were trapped in the sixth grave¡¯s Reincarnation World. Looking from this perspective, in the entire Wilderness World, there were not many people that would be able to arrive in this final seventh grave. Ye Chuan secretly sighed in relief. Although he seemed to have acted recklessly, in fact, he had carefully considered everything and seized the weakness of this Octopus Empress. Like this, the latter didn¡¯t dare to kill him easily. Sure enough, everything went according to his expectation! This Octopus Empress was very powerful, she was the existence that could summon winds and rain in the outside world as she pleased, unfortunately, the ancient restrictions and rune chains had trapped her in this ancient grave world. No matter how powerful she was, she needed the help of other people to gather the remaining fragments of Lost City. Although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was not up to much, even inferior to Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, among the numerous experts that broke in this time, he was already outstanding. In terms of cultivation level, he was no match for some powerful overseas loose cultivators, but in terms of experience, wits and courage, he was far above everyone. This point could be seen from how Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King, these two half Sage realm experts, were sincerely following him. The ancient restriction would become loose once every one hundred years, but she might not necessarily encounter the right candidate even after waiting for thousands of years! The expression of Octopus Empress changed repeatedly as she hesitated to make the decision. She was naturally unwilling to release Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao just like this. Without a hostage with value, how could she control Ye Chuan? But, she was also reluctant to kill Ye Chuan. No one knew better than her how hard it was to find a suitable candidate. In this ancient grave world, she had been bitterly waiting for countless years, she couldn¡¯t wait to go out and breathe the fresh air outside. If she missed this opportunity, then she might never get another chance to go out throughout her life. ¡°Your Excellency Sea Emperor, let them go, I am not afraid of becoming your hostage, what are you afraid of?¡± Ye Chuan took a step forward again, leaving only the distance of seven steps between them. Fight or not fight? Looking at inattentive and hesitating Octopus Empress, Ye Chuan also hesitated, but he circulated eleven Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, preparing to make a move! If he made a surprise attack now, it was possible to save Tuoba Xiaoniao and Zhu Sijia, but there was a bigger possibility that his attack would fail, then, all of them would face the wrath of this Octopus Empress. After considering for a moment, Ye Chuan secretly sighed and his killing intent gradually dispersed. He was never afraid of taking risks, but, he would also never take meaningless risks. When the probability of success was too low, forcibly making a move might attract greater disaster. ¡°Boy, since you are so sensible and somewhat know yourself, I will let them go.¡± Octopus Empress released Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao with a smile yet not a smile. Then, extended a tentacle towards Ye Chuan. She had already sensed Ye Chuan secretly preparing to attack. If Ye Chuan had made the move, then there was only one consequence. No one would leave alive from this ancient grave world. Fortunately, although Ye Chuan was daring, he was sensible. ¡°Your Excellency¡­¡­¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were anxious. Some people rushed over to support Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, but even more took out their weapon and emitted dense killing intent. Seeing Ye Chuan was caught by Octopus Empress, they toughed their scalp and prepared to rush forward. ¡°Step back, without my order, no one is allowed to move!¡± Ye Chuan shouted and let the tentacle of this Octopus Empress coil around him. ¡°Good, good, boy, you truly didn¡¯t disappoint this lord, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Octopus Empress laughed heartily and suddenly pulled Ye Chuan over. Then, placing her lips on the lips of Ye Chuan, she blew a mouthful of her essence qi into Ye Chuan. Instantly, majestic energy circulated a lap within the body of Ye Chuan and settled in his dantian. Then, its form continuously changed, and after a little while, it unexpectedly condensed into a new octopus-shaped Heaven Swallowing Talisman! With her great cultivation and unfathomable technique, Octopus Empress unexpectedly learned and condensed a new Heaven Swallowing Talisman within Ye Chuan¡¯s body. The energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan also suddenly rose sharply. He broke through to peak Daoist Master realm from Rank 7 Daoist Master realm. And with 12 Heaven Swallowing Talismans, now he could exert the strength of 216,000 jin. This surge of power and cultivation made other people feel endless envy. But, Ye Chuan was not happy, he even felt chill down his back. This twelfth Heaven Swallowing Talisman was not condensed via his own accumulation, rather this Octopus Empress had used a powerful technique to forge. Not to mention he wouldn¡¯t be able to use this power as he pleased, it was also the killing move Octopus Empress left behind in his body. If he was not careful, this Heaven Swallowing Talisman might harm him. What was even more terrifying was, she had learned and condensed a Heaven Swallowing Talisman, doesn¡¯t that mean that Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets was also¡­¡­ Ye Chuan sweated profusely. After he freed himself from God Burial Valley, Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets was his life technique, moreover, also his greatest secret. Once one¡¯s life technique was comprehended and understood clearly by others, then it was over. That was far more dangerous than just being unable to control one Heaven Swallowing Talisman! ¡°Boy, what cultivation technique do you cultivate? It¡¯s not particularly good, and these talismans are also somewhat strange¡­¡­¡± Octopus Empress asked, seemingly lost in thought as she used her powerful divine sense to thoroughly scan Ye Chuan, wanting to see through all his secrets. Upon hearing what was said, Ye Chuan secretly felt relieved. He understood that this Octopus Empress had just seen the surface. She didn¡¯t have any time to comprehend the Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets behind Heaven Swallowing Talismans. Thus, he casually said, ¡°This is Cyan Feather Secrets, a secret technique passed down only within our Cloud Mist Sect.¡± ¡°Cloud Mist Sect? Tens of thousands of years ago, I seemed to have heard one person saying that it was an ancient sect of the mainland, no wonder!¡± Octopus Empress nodded her head and was no longer interested in interrogating Ye Chuan. She was only worried about the fragments lost in the outside world. She paused for a moment, then took out a horn with black light circulation around it from her bosom. It was somewhat similar to the ancient conch. But, its energy fluctuation was clearly far more powerful. ¡°Boy, now you are already in Peak Daoist Master realm, even if you encounter a great expert, you will not suffer a big loss. This is Neptune Horn, it is a peerless treasure left behind by the first ancestor of Sea Demon Clan. Take it. Later, the faster you gather all the remaining fragments, the better. Also, in order to not let you forget your task, the Octopus Talisman within your body will remind you often. Once every three days, you will taste the pain I am suffering in this ancient grave world. When all the fragments of Lost City are collected, you will be free from that pain, now leave, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Octopus Empress laughed heartily, then she walked into the sea and disappeared. Only her laughter echoed in the ears of everyone. ¡°Neptune Horn? Our clan record was truly correct, this treasure was really sealed in this ancient grave world!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch exclaimed in joy. Looking at Neptune Horn in the hands of Ye Chuan, he subconsciously rushed over in great excitement. Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao nevertheless were worried and rushed over to Ye Chuan with tears streaming down their eyes. Everyone had clearly heard the words said by Octopus Empress just before she left. Now, the two of them were free, but Ye Chuan had to suffer pain. Chapter 565: A true man After feeling as if the sky and earth were spinning, a group of people appeared on Bellowing Waves Island. Upon seeing the lush trees, vast sandy beach and sea, moreover, being able to breathe fresh air, everyone was excited. They shouted and jumped in joy, some even cried tears of joy. After many dangers, they finally returned! They felt like they were living again. When exploring many dangerous ancient grave worlds, they had walked through the thin line between life and death, but in the end, they survived and returned to Bellowing Waves Island in one piece. At this moment, they truly realize the value of life. Regardless of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect or sea demon warriors, many of their companions were left behind forever. Along with Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, Ye Chuan climbed a tall mountain and looked afar. While breathing the fresh air and looked at the distant sea and sky, he was also excited. Although Octopus Empress had placed a trick within his body and there was an uncontrollable octopus talisman within his body which might bring unknown troubles in the future, he was able to successfully rescue Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, and safely leave that dangerous place. This was sufficient. Moreover, he had also obtained Eternal Vermillion Flower, 18 Demongod Banner, Neptune Horn and other treasures, in addition, his cultivation also had risen greatly. This trip was very successful. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body?¡± Ye Chuan looked calm, but Zhu Sijia was worried. She was very worried about the sinister move of Octopus Empress. ¡°Yes, noble son Ye, do you feeling anything wrong with your body?¡± Tuoba Xiaoniao was also very worried, standing beside Ye Chuan. Now, her father Tuoba Xiong had already passed away and Black Cauldron Sect no longer existed, Ye Chuan was her only dear one in this world. ¡°I am fine, it¡¯s only an ordinary soul brand. I have my way to deal with it. Until I gather all fragments of Lost City, Octopus Empress wouldn¡¯t dare to truly make a ruthless move.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and said. As a matter of fact, this octopus talisman left behind by Octopus Empress made Ye Chuan feel fear. The torment once every three days was a minor matter, but if Octopus Empress was able to spy on his secrets via this octopus talisman and thoroughly understand the profound mystery of Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, then that would be anything but reassuring! Ye Chuan had misgivings in his heart, but he pretended to be indifferent on the surface. If even he was in a mess, then Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others would be even more confused and frenetic. Especially innately weak Tuoba Xiaoniao, she might drown herself in sorrow all day long. Ye Chuan looked at Tuoba Xiaoniao standing beside him and his gaze became soft. Along the way, he had already told her the news of her father¡¯s death, but he didn¡¯t speak the details as he didn¡¯t want to make her sadder. ¡°Xiaoniao, from today onwards, let me take care of you in place of your father!¡± Ye Chuan said in his heart. He then suddenly extended his left hand to hug Tuoba Xiaoniao, then extended his right hand to huge Zhu Sijia too. In the past, he didn¡¯t publicly disclose his relationship with these two girls, but now, he was open and care about nothing. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, so hateful¡­¡­¡± ¡°Noble son Ye, don¡¯t¡­¡­, don¡¯t¡­¡­¡± Being suddenly hugged by Ye Chuan in public, the two girls were somewhat confused. Tuoba Xiaoniao blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look up as if other people wouldn¡¯t be able to see her shyness if she didn¡¯t look up. As for Zhu Sijia, she struggled for a while, feeling somewhat surprised and also somewhat shy. But, looking at Tuoba Xiaoniao on the other side of Ye Chuan, she felt a little sour and angry. However, failing to struggle free, she had to give up. Although her face was not as thick as Ye Chuan, she was weaker than him and was unable to struggle free from him even if she wanted. ¡°Jiajia, I used to believe that, as a man, one should strive to step on the pinnacle of cultivation and dominate this world, but now, I don¡¯t want to strive for the pinnacle of cultivation nor dominate the world, just being able to stay together with you all is enough.¡± Ye Chuan softly said. These words made Zhu Sijia discard any thoughts of struggling and leaned onto Ye Chuan like Tuoba Xiaoniao. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors who were cheering just a moment ago suddenly went away quietly. All along the way, Ye Chuan had been bearing great pressure and responsibility. Now, it was his personal time. During life and death, one should dare to take risks and fight hard, moreover, one should keep calm, looking for a way to survive. And after the storm, have beauties in both hands, this was a successful man, a successful life! Old Demon of Mount Yin was sincerely convinced. He walked away with a knowing smile. And no one was stupid enough to disturb Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao at this moment. ¡°Ye¡­¡­, noble son Ye, will you stay by my side?¡± After a long silence, Tuoba Xiaoniao asked and looked at him with tearful eyes. A person would cry when he/she was too sad and also when he/she was too happy. After wandering around in Overseas World, she had tasted the coldness of the world and she had also lost her father. At that time, happiness came to her too suddenly. She feared that this happiness would leave as suddenly as it had come. ¡°Yes, I promised your father, I will take care of you forever.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. Tuoba Xiaoniao didn¡¯t speak, she just cried leaning on Ye Chuan. Thinking of her father who was buried forever in that ancient grave world, she couldn¡¯t stop her tears. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what about me?¡± Zhu Sijia asked. Looking at delicate Tuoba Xiaoniao, she still felt somewhat sour. It was like someone had forcibly snatched half of her favorite thing. ¡°The same, Jiajia, I will always be by your side, always be your Big Senior Apprentice Brother. In front of outsiders, you can still call me Big Senior Apprentice Brother, but in the place with only us, I will similarly let you call me Big¡­¡­, Big Senior Apprentice Brother!¡± Ye Chuan smiled and kissed the head of Zhu Sijia. ¡°Hoodlum!¡± Zhu Sijia understood the meaning of Ye Chuan. Her beautiful face became red and she ferociously pinched Ye Chuan. This finally relaxed her a little. ¡°Hahaha, Jiajia, since you are pinching me, some other day, I, this Big Senior Apprentice Brother, will repay your double, at that time, I will see how you will beg me for mercy!¡± Ye Chuan laughed heartily and hugged both girls even tighter. ¡°So hateful!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. On the mountain, the voices of three people often resounded. Although Zhu Sijia was saying unpleasant words, she was feeling very sweet in her heart. In any case, being able to stay together with her beloved after returning alive from that dangerous ancient grave world, what was more important than this? The three people happily fooled around and bantered in flirtation. In a small woods a hundred meters away, a girl however sighed softly and left. Seeing the trio of Ye Chuan were happily hugging with each other, sea demoness Hai Lili¡¯s heart felt heavy. After looking at the back view of Ye Chuan from far away, she turned away to leave. At that time, Little Long¡¯er just happened to be walking over and she saw somewhat estrange expression of Hai Lili, but he didn¡¯t think much and continued to walk towards the summit. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan¡­¡­¡± He then called Ye Chuan from far away. Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao blushed and hastily pushed Ye Chuan away. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, what happened?¡± Ye Chuan turned around and patted the shoulder of Little Long¡¯er. Seeing Little Long¡¯er was not injured and as lively as ever, he was glad. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, do you remember that Li Dingxi of Bellowing Waves Sect? He has come to request and audience, he said that he wants to see you.¡± Little Long¡¯er who still didn¡¯t truly understand the matter between men and women just felt something vaguely. But, he didn¡¯t think much about it and reported to Ye Chuan. ¡°Ah, Li Dingxi?¡± A person floated in the mind of Ye Chuan and he instructed, ¡°Go, tell him to come up!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Little Long¡¯er received order and flew away. Chapter 566: Old conscience With Little Long¡¯er in the lead, Li Dingxi came to the front of Ye Chuan and bowed, ¡°This disciple Li Dingxi pays respect to Your Excellency!¡± ¡°Rise.¡± Ye Chuan helped Li Dingxi get up. After experiencing this hardship, this disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect had matured a lot. ¡°Li Dingxi, I heard you want to see me, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Your Excellency, we want to go with you.¡± Li Dingxi replied without beating around the bush. ¡°Oh, why?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised, but said, ¡°Now, the danger has already passed, Bellowing Waves Island is already snatched back, can¡¯t you just rejuvenate Bellowing Wave Sect?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others came over after hearing the news. The old man Sea Demon Patriarch had also come. They wanted to see why this Li Dingxi had come to meet Ye Chuan. As for Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, they might still be shy or they wanted to discuss something among themselves, they ignored everyone and left. ¡°Bellowing Waves Island is still there, but Bellowing Waves Sect is gone. There is no sect and there are also no masters. As for the disciples of Bellowing Wave Sects, they had either died or fled, the sect is completely gone. Your Excellency, let us go with you.¡± Li Dingxi looked awkward and his heart was heavy when he mentioned Bellowing Waves Sect. After this great battle, Bellowing Waves Sect was eradicated. The surviving disciples were also unwilling to stay behind on this remote island. There were some who want to follow Li Dingxi, but many had left without bidding farewell. But Li Dingxi insisted on staying behind. It was not for rebuilding Bellowing Waves Sect, rather he was waiting for Ye Chuan to come out from the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan. Ever since ancient times, most of the people who had broken into the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan had not returned, but Li Dingxi firmly believed that Ye Chuan would come out. Since he was instructed to secretly defeat the troops under Qing Tianhou, he had greatly admired and respected Ye Chuan. ¡°The mainland is far away from this place, you all have been living in this Overseas World for generations, you all might not necessarily get accustomed with the local customs of the mainland. Moreover, the mainland is also not utopia. It is very likely that there will be great calamity and turmoil in the future. If you go, then you might never return.¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°How about this, I have a place in the East Sea. For the time being, my brother Bai Rulong manage it. The current condition of that place is not particularly good, there are many things still to do there. But, in less than a few years, the condition will greatly improve, and someday in the future, even the entire Cloud Mist Sect might move there. How about you all go there and help Bai Rulong rebuild that territory?¡± Li Dingxi¡¯s cultivation was not up to much, but he was honest, clever and courageous. Ye Chuan appreciated these aspects. If the cultivation realm was not sufficient, it can be slowly raised, but if one¡¯s character was not good, there was nothing that could be done. Considering the situation of the future, Ye Chuan wanted to recruit great devils and great experts with distinctive techniques. He also wanted to recruit people with a loyal character who could handle matters. In the future when he swept through the entire world with his Yao Beast Legion and went to Outer World to explore, people with loyal characters were needed to handle the matters of Wilderness World. ¡°Bai Rulong? Your Excellency, you¡­¡­, you mean the famous White Dragon Sage of Overseas World?¡± The eyes of Li Dingxi shone. He found it somewhat difficult to believe. Although he had never left nearby territorial waters, he had heard the fame of White Dragon Sage. He was the legend of Overseas World. He and his wife, Chu Hongniang, were known as heroic couple of Overseas World. Many looked up to them. Such a legendary expert was also the brother of Ye Chuan? And he was helping Ye Chuan to handle matters? ¡°Yes, White Dragon Sage.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, then added after a pause, ¡°Some time ago, White Dragon Sage ran into something troublesome. His wife Chu Hongniang suffered serious injuries and their two children were kidnapped by Blacksnake Clan. At that time, I just happened to pass by, and helped them solve some difficulties and make his family reunite. At the same time, we eradicate Blacksnake Clan of the East Sea and Blacksnake Island became my territory. Now, it is called Dragon King Island.¡± Ye Chuan explained briefly. He wanted Li Dingxi to go to Dragon King Island. He had not casually made this decision, rather had deep thoughts. On one hand, this would be the formal recruitment of this talented youngster Li Dingxi, on the other hand, it would also help in the development of Dragon King Island. Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demongod had disappeared into the Nether World, but they might return via that time and space rift at any time. Thus, only by rapidly developing Dragon King City, recruiting many experts and arranging layer upon layer of restrictions, Dragon King City would become the stable place to retreat. Since the great chaos was approaching, Ye Chuan was actively taking precautions and route of retreat. When they were truly unable to stay in the mainland, they could retreat to the overseas world. ¡°Okay, then I will go to the East Sea with the remaining disciples of Blue Waves Sect!¡± Li Dingxi quickly made the decision without much hesitation. Since he learned that the legendary expert, White Dragon Sage, was working under Ye Chuan, his decision to follow Ye Chuan became even firmer. He felt some regret for being unable to go to the mainland, but he could develop Dragon King City and even the entire East Sea into a powerful territory. It was also a good choice. Li Dinxi loved to go all out and challenges, he was unwilling to be a mediocre person. The East Sea just happened to conform to his intention. ¡°Okay, go, take this message talisman. White Dragon Sage will believe you after he sees it. Say hello to him on my behalf.¡± Ye Chuan took out a message talisman from his bosom and gave it to Li Dingxi as an identity proof. White Dragon Sage was not an ordinary person. After experience great joy, great sadness and storms, he had become even more independent. With Li Dingxi assisting him, Ye Chuan can rest assured. In the future, he will put more resources in Dragon King Island and develop it into the safe place for Could Mist Sect. The chaos had not started yet, but Ye Chuan had already begun to take precautions. ¡°Thank you, Your Excellency!¡± Li Dingxi bowed respectfully and left. He then sailed out towards the East Sea with the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect. Their boat quickly disappeared into the horizon. ¡°Your Excellency the Patriarch, what about you all? What are your plans?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly turned to Sea Demon Patriarch. After the battle, Bellowing Waves Island was in a mess. After Li Dingxi and others left, it looked even more desolate. Now, other than the surviving disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, only the members of Sea Demon Clan were left. Although there were not many people, there were over a hundred people including injured people. ¡°Noble son Ye, we will follow you to the mainland, what, we are not welcomed?¡± The old man laughed, and his eyes flickered as if he was secretly concocting a plan. ¡°That is also fine, there¡¯s no time to lose, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t question closely and left. When he was still in the ancient grave worlds, he was already impatient to return to the mainland and go to Heavenly Yao Sect to rescue Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, now, he was even more impatient. He was unwilling to waste even a second. If this old man Sea Demon Patriarch was earnest, then he will treat them well, but if this old fellow couldn¡¯t tell good from bad, then he naturally had a way to deal with them! Chapter 567: A deadly hidden danger Everyone quickly left Bellowing Waves Islands under the leadership of Ye Chuan and the huge sea demon boat quickly sailed away towards the mainland. After boarding the boat, Ye Chuan found a secret room and sat down cross-legged. He let Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin handle the matters. As for himself, he began to cultivate. The battle in the racial holy land was already over, but its impact was huge. One could even say that its true impact was just beginning. The two super experts, Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, were trapped there. What kind of changes would happen in the western region and Daqin Dynasty due to this? Will it make the great chaos befall in advance? Furthermore, will Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng ever be able to leave Reincarnation World? If they can, then how long will it take? Ye Chuan sat cross-legged, quietly considering the changes. In this operation, countless loose cultivators and great devils had died inside the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan. But, their death was not important, what was truly important was, what effect would it cause to the overall situation of Wilderness World? And there were Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, one was noble that held a great army, and the other one was State Teacher of Daqin Dynasty who was above millions and below just one. Both of them were important personages. But, since both of them were trapped in Reincarnation World, it was very likely that this would cause chaos in Daqin Dynasty, stirring up the overall situation. After a long time, Ye Chuan exhaled a mouthful of chaotic qi and no longer continued to consider the future. He instead pondered about the octopus talisman left within his body by Octopus Empress. Since Daqin Dynasty had many nobles, it was hard to predict what would happen next. But, raising one¡¯s strength was fundamental. This octopus talisman within his body gave him great strength but was also a great hidden danger. Ye Chuan carefully controlled his divine sense to scan this octopus talisman that was beyond his control. Like the rest of the eleven Heaven Swallowing Talismans, this octopus talisman was slowly rotating within his dantian. It emitted pure energy, no different from other talismans. But, after sensing it carefully, he noticed that the energy of this octopus talisman was somewhat chaotic, and it didn¡¯t blend perfectly with the energy of other talismans. If he wanted to raise his strength in a short period of time, then the most effective way now was to thoroughly integrate this octopus talisman and refine the energy of Octopus Empress. Like that, he would be able to consolidate his peak Daoist Master realm and attack the bottleneck of Half Sage realm! Ye Chuan clearly understood the significance of this octopus talisman. If he was able to thoroughly refine it, then his cultivation would make a breakthrough; but if he couldn¡¯t refine it, it was a deadly hidden danger. Not to mention anything else, it might prevent him from making progress in his cultivation, or even might make his cultivation fall down to Rank 7 Daoist Master realm! He cautiously made his divine sense approach this octopus talisman. After carefully observing for a good while, Ye Chuan mustered his courage, wanting to thoroughly know the mystery of this octopus talisman. The slowly rotating octopus talisman stopped, followed by suddenly rotating rapidly. Immediately after that, the divine sense that seeped into the octopus talisman disappeared without a trace. At the same time, he felt tingling pain in his head as if an invisible dagger had stabbed his head. The octopus talisman also shone with a black light, and violent and uncontrollable energy ran rampant within his body, tearing many veins. And in the blink of an eye, Ye Chuan was drenched with blood. So powerful! Sage after all is a Sage, what a heaven-defying means! Ye Chuan was greatly shocked. He quickly retracted his divine sense and no longer dared to probe this talisman. Even though he once was Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he still was unable to see through the mysteries of this octopus talisman. The means of this Octopus Empress was extraordinary. She should be an extraordinary Great Sage among Sage ream experts millions of years ago. If he wanted to get rid of this hidden danger, then either similarly Sage realm great expert should help him, or he had to breakthrough to Half Sage realm or even Sage realm. But, in a short period of time, it was impossible for him to break through to Half Sage realm. There was a huge gap between peak Daoist Master realm and Half Sage realm not to mention Sage realm. Also, where could he find a peak expert to help him? White Dragon Sage Bai Rulong? Ye Chuan thought about White Dragon Sage who was guarding Dragon King Island, but soon after that, he shook his head. Although White Dragon Sage was powerful, he was still in Half Sage realm, he was not much better than Plague Archfiend Abasi. He couldn¡¯t help him. The same was true for Diamond Ape King and others. Then, there was only one person left who could help him, he was cyan robed Seventh Elder who might be in Cloud Mist Mountain Range. He was the only person whose cultivation Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t see through until now. The desire to return to Could Mist Sect became even stronger. He wanted to go to Heavenly Yao Sect to rescue Hong Zixia and also get rid of this hidden danger as soon as possible. It was not good to drag these matters on. Not to mention anything else, if he became the puppet of Octopus Empress in the end, then that would be a tragedy! Knock, knock, knock, knocking sounds suddenly resounded. ¡°Who?¡± Ye Chuan was startled awake. He was so lost in thought that he unexpectedly was unable to sense someone had already arrived outside the door. If it was a first-rate assassin, then what would have happened? ¡°Your Excellency, it¡¯s me, Rhodes.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s voice came. ¡°Enter.¡± Ye Chuan took a deep breath and calmed down. Old Demon of Mount Yin pushed open the door and quickly closed after entering. Then, he walked to the front of Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Your Excellency, there is something wrong with that old man Sea Demon Patriarch. Not to mention he is moving secretly, he went to the kitchen to cook in person, saying he wanted to reward us with food and drinks. This subordinate guess that that old fellow is up to something, it is very likely that he took a fancy to¡­¡­¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Ye Chuan quickly recalled Neptune Horn given to him by Octopus Empress as well as 18 Demongod Banner, Eternal Vermilion Flower and other treasures he obtained in the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan. Speaking about 18 Demongod Banner, it was something he had snatched from Qing Tianhou, but as for Neptune Horn, it had always been the treasure Sea Demon Patriarch wanted. They had come to the sea this time for this treasure. Moreover, that old fellow had been rushing to revive the former glory of their Sea Demon Clan, and in order to do so, he needed this treasure. ¡°Your Excellency, how about we take the initiative to make a move?¡± The eyes of Old Demon of Mount Yin shone with pallid light, making a beheading action. On the sea demon boat, although the numbers of Sea Demon Clan was more than Cloud Mist Sect, if they truly got into the battle, then Sea Demon Clan was not the opponent. Just Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend Abasi and Diamond Ape King were enough to deal with them. ¡°No, it has yet to reach that step, act according to circumstances, just be careful. Don¡¯t beat the grass and startle the snake, I want to see what that old man is planning.¡± Ye Chuan sneered. When they were still in Bellowing Waves Island, he already felt that something was wrong with this old man. But he hadn¡¯t expected this old man to make move so quickly. Chapter 568: Not maintain innocent tonigh t After instructing indifferently, Ye Chuan closed his eyes. Since he couldn¡¯t do anything to the octopus talisman within his body, he simply no longer thought about it. He quietly meditated to calm his energy and also consolidate his cultivation realm. Reaching Peak Daoist Master realm from Rank 7 Daoist Master realm was a huge breakthrough. But, this breakthrough was not something he achieved with his own accumulation, rather Octopus Empress had used a heaven-defying technique to forcibly raise his strength. Thus, his cultivation was not stable. If he was careless, then his cultivation might fall back to Rank 7 Daoist Master realm. As a result, the most important task right now was to consolidate his realm! Seeing Ye Chuan had begun to cultivate, Old Demon of Mount Yin didn¡¯t dare to speak, lest he might disturb Ye Chuan. He quietly stood up and left to make secret preparations. The time passed especially quickly for the people who were cultivating. After a few hours, Ye Chuan woke up, and he could hear light footsteps coming from outside the door. And from those fast footsteps, he could deduce that the owner of those footsteps should be a woman. Sure enough, not long after, a fragrant smell seeped into the nose of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan was very familiar with this smell. It was the scent of sea demoness Hai Lili. Could it be that this Hai Lili is also involved in her grandfather¡¯s scheme? Was she coming to deal with him? Ye Chuan thought, but immediately after that, he shook his head. Hai Lili was different from other clansmen of Sea Demon Clan. His essence blood was fused with her. If she had any ill thoughts towards him, then he would sense that immediately. In addition, although she was getting closer and closer, he couldn¡¯t sense any killing intent from her. When she reached just outside the door, her footsteps suddenly stopped. Hai Lili seemed to be hesitating to knock on the door. ¡°Hai Lili, are you looking for me?¡± Ye Chuan took the initiative to speak, ¡°Since you are already outside the door, come in.¡± Hai Lili who was outside the door was caught unprepared and shocked. Then, she blushed and pushed open the door, ¡°Ye¡­¡­, noble son Ye, the dinner is ready, grandfather requested to come over.¡± ¡°Oh, is there anything else other than eating and drinking?¡± Ye Chuan asked as he stood up with a smile yet not a smile. ¡°No¡­, no.¡± The eyes of sea demoness Hai Lili flickered and she didn¡¯t dare to look at Ye Chuan as if she was panicking. Tonight, sure enough, is not peaceful! The eyes of Ye Chuan flashed. He had noticed the unusual expression of Hai Lili, but he said nothing. He just left the room with the latter in the front. On the deck and cabins, many tables were already arranged. Moreover, those tablets were filled with a variety of delicacies as well as fine wines. Only after Ye Chuan arrived, the people who were already drooling began to eat and drink to their heart¡¯s content. All of these people had barely escaped from the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan with their life, these delicious foods just happened to make them feel relaxed. Even Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were also wolfing down foods. Looking at numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect wolfing down foods, Sea Demon Patriarch smiled and took the initiative to propose a toast to Ye Chuan, ¡°Noble son Ye, come, cheers for our safe return.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Ye Chuan raised his glass, but just when he was about to empty a glass at one gulp, he suddenly stopped, and the complexion of the old man changed. A hint of nervousness also flashed through the old man¡¯s face. Sure enough, there is something wrong with this wine, this old fellow truly made his move! Ye Chuan clearly saw through this old man, but he didn¡¯t reveal. He just frowned and said, ¡°Aiyo, I nearly forgot, because of the talisman left within my body by Octopus Empress, I cannot drink wine. If I drink, it might flare up and my cultivation might go berserk. That demon was truly too detestable. Your Excellency Patriarch, I am very sorry, I cannot drink with you.¡± ¡°There is such a matter?¡± The old man looked half believing, half doubting. He clearly knew that Octopus Empress had left behind a trick within the body of Ye Chuan. But, he didn¡¯t know whether drinking wine would affect it or not. He looked worried and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, drinking a small mouthful should be fine, right? How about I empty a glass at one gulp and you drink only a little as a gesture of goodwill?¡± He had prepared for almost the entire day and waited for this moment. The delicacies on the tables were fine, he had secretly done something to just this wine. If Ye Chuan didn¡¯t touch even a drop, then wouldn¡¯t all his effort be wasted? The complexion of the old man was unsightly and was anxious in his heart. ¡°Isn¡¯t it fine to not drink?¡± Ye Chuan asked, looking as if he was finding things difficult. ¡°That won¡¯t do, you should drink at least a mouthful as a gesture of goodwill, noble son Ye, it will be fine.¡± The old man urged. He couldn¡¯t wait to pour this wine into the stomach of Ye Chuan. ¡°Ai, do I truly have to?¡± Ye Chuan asked again. The old man vigorously nodded his head. He was very anxious in his heart as the ** of wine showed its effect quickly. These disciples of Cloud Mist Sect would collapse at any time. If Ye Chuan didn¡¯t drink it quickly, then it would be too late. ¡°Yes, tonight, everyone is drinking so happily, noble son Ye, you however is the grand Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, is a great expert, you shouldn¡¯t dampen the mood of everyone!¡± ¡°Fine then, Your Excellency Patriarch, if I got drunk and lose control, then don¡¯t blame me!¡± Ye Chuan smiled and directly emptied a wine cup at one gulp. Just after the wine entered his mouth, he noticed that something was truly wrong with this wine. Thus, he secretly used a technique to force this wine out of his body, and the floor below his feet became wet. ¡°Hahaha, good, good, noble son Ye, you are truly bold and uninhibited, come again!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch laughed heartily. He had thought that Ye Chuan would only drink a small mouthful, but to his surprise, he emptied the entire cup at one gulp. This was something he wanted. He then personally stepped forward to pour wine to Ye Chuan¡¯s empty cup. ¡°It¡¯s boring to drink from a cup, watch me!¡± Ye Chuan snatched the wine jug and directly drank from it in front of everybody. Just a moment ago, he was intentionally teasing Sea Demon Patriarch by saying he couldn¡¯t drink wine, but now, he refused nobody and drank a big mouthful after another. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, good, good!¡± The old man was even happier and was even more complacent. He didn¡¯t notice the wet region below the legs of Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan also laughed. And on the surface, he appeared as if he was drunk. Inwardly, he however began to rapidly circulate Heaven Swallowing Talismans, preparing to make a move. The surrounding disciples of Cloud Mist Sect however were dead drunk. They began to collapse with a bright red face. ¡°Collapse, collapse, collapse for me, hahaha, one¡­¡­, two¡­¡­, three¡­¡­¡± The old man was feeling very complacent in his heart. Just after he counted to three, the numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect collapsed on the deck in succession. Some were feeling dizzy without any power in their limbs and some had directly fallen into slumber. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and others were also no exception. Everyone lost consciousness. And after looking all around, the old man who was somewhat tense in the beginning finally relaxed. ¡°Wine¡­¡­, there is poison in wine, Your Excellency Patriarch, you¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan pretended to just notice something wrong and he stood up, but immediately afterward, he weakly collapsed back to his chair. ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s right, there is poison in wine!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch laughed heartily, revealing his true color. He then clapped and a group of guards bound Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, then placed their sharp sword in their neck. ¡°Old man, what do you want to do?¡± Ye Chuan was furious. He forcibly suppressed his impulse to attack immediately as he wanted to see what this old man was planning. ¡°Noble son Ye, what do you think of my granddaughter Hai Lili?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch suddenly asked an irrelevant question. ¡°Pretty good, at least her conscience is much better than you, she didn¡¯t repay kindness with hatred!¡± Ye Chuan replied. He could see that Hai Lili was stopped by several sea demon warriors. She looked anxious and wanted to save people, but was powerless. ¡°Heh heh, that¡¯s good!¡± The old man had very thick skin. He was not embarrassed at all and continued, ¡°Noble son ye, as long as you promise me one thing, I will let them go.¡± Here it comes, he truly wants Neptune Horn, 18 Demongod Banner and other treasures! Ye Chuan understood in his heart, but he wasn¡¯t happy, he just sighed inwardly. Men die for wealth, as birds for food, if he could, then he truly didn¡¯t want to kill these sea demon warriors. ¡°It¡¯s a simple request, marry my granddaughter Hai Lili and have the bridal chamber tonight!¡± The old man told his condition. What? Everyone was shocked, even sea demoness Hai Lili was no exception. Ye Chuan was also shocked and he was unable to speak for a moment. He had believed that this old man had done this to rob treasures, but beyond his expectation, this old man wanted to this! Chapter 569: Old Fox ¡°Grandfather, you¡­¡­, how can you say this?¡± Sea demoness Hai Lili finally pushed away those sea demon warriors blocking her way and rushed over. She was both embarrassed and anxious. She had never thought that her grandfather would make such a request. ¡°What? Lili, are you unwilling?¡± The Sea Demon Patriarch stared at his granddaughter Hai Lili. ¡°Grandfather, I¡­¡­¡± Hai Lili didn¡¯t know what to say. Yes, she had always liked Ye Chuan. When she saw Ye Chuan and Zhu Sijia hugging together, her heart felt sour and uncomfortable. But, even though she liked him, she had also never thought about using such means. Ever since ancient times, only men coerce beauties, which woman had ever done so? Could it be that, on the wedding night, she had to be the one to initiate bonding with Ye Chuan? She however was a virgin maiden¡­¡­ Hai Lili blushed and didn¡¯t dare to look at Ye Chuan. Her heart was beating so rapidly that it appeared as if it would jump out of her chest. ¡°What I? It¡¯s decided, tonight is your bridal chamber!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch waved his hand and sea demon warriors got busy, preparing for the bridal chamber. Ye Chuan still said nothing. Shu Sijia however was anxious, but after drinking the poisonous wine, not to mention moving her limbs, she wouldn¡¯t even speak. Thus, she could only watch helplessly. After instructing loudly, Sea Demon Patriarch turned to Ye Chuan, ¡°Noble son Ye, how is it, will you disagree?¡± The old man looked high-spirited. Now, the limbs of Ye Chuan should be weak, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were also drunk and feeling dizzy, in such circumstance, how could Ye Chuan resist? He had no choice but to obediently give up! ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, I¡­¡­, I disagree!¡± Ye Chuan paused and resolutely said. After calmly thinking for a while, he quickly understood the purpose of this old man. It was very simple. The objective of this old man was still seizing Neptune Horn, this famous peerless treasure in the history of Sea Demon Clan. But, he didn¡¯t directly seize it, rather was using a roundabout method no one had expected, i.e., marrying his granddaughter Hai Lili to Ye Chuan. The old man was doing so because he might have some misgivings towards Octopus Empress and he didn¡¯t dare to directly seize this Neptune Horn. Or, perhaps, his appetite was bigger. He wanted to tie Ye Chuan with the war chariot of Sea Demon Clan by this marriage. As long as he married Hai Lili, just Neptune Horn was nothing. 18 Demongod Banner, Eternal Vermillion Flower and even the treasures and techniques of Cloud Mist Sect that was collected over a long period of time, wouldn¡¯t they naturally obtain them? For the revival of his Sea Demon Clan, for the survival of his clansmen, this old man was truly ready to risk everything! ¡°What, you¡­.., you disagree?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch exclaimed and thought that he had heard wrongly. In such a moment, Ye Chuan actually dared to disagree. Could it be that he didn¡¯t fear sea demon warriors getting angry and killing all drunk disciples of Cloud Mist Sect? And also the hostages Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao? Sea Demon Patriarch was surprised on this side. Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and Hai Lili on the other side were also surprised. Especially Hai Lili, she became even more embarrassed, she wanted to look for a hole to crawl into. Her heart also hurt at the same time. In Overseas World, she was a great beauty. Her fair and smooth skin was something she was intensely proud about, even Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao couldn¡¯t match her in this aspect. Could it be that, in the heart of Ye Chuan, she, this beauty of Sea Demon Clan, was not attractive? ¡°Patriarch, it¡¯s not that I want to disagree with this marriage, rather it¡¯s impossible. In my heart, I already have another woman. I have already exchanged vows with junior apprentice sister Jiajia, I can¡¯t fall in love with another woman. If you force Hai Lili to marry me, then not only this will not give her happiness, that will also hurt her all her life.¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, stop immediately! Considering how we have experienced life and death together, even without this marriage, if your Sea Demon Clan ran into any difficulties in the future, then I, Ye Chuan, will also not sit by and watch. The previous promise is still valid. Heavenly Dragon Rice planted in the rear mountain of Cloud Mist Sect will always have your share. If there is something you need, then you are free to tell me!¡± This old man was cunning and crafty, but considering he also was not too malicious tonight, he decided to not make a move and injure anyone. Ye Chuan let bygones be bygones and gave this old man the last chance. ¡°Noble son Ye, it¡¯s normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. I am not asking to only marry Lili.¡± The old man quickly responded. His complexion was somewhat unsightly. ¡°That¡¯s won¡¯t do, my heart can¡¯t hold a second woman.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head as he refused again. The heart of Hai Lili hurt. On the other side, the eyes of Zhu Sijia however were already full of tears. The words of Ye Chuan was more touching than directly saying he loved her. The old man¡¯s face became cold and he coldly said, ¡°Noble son Ye, consider carefully, don¡¯t force me!¡± ¡°Oh, am I forcing you?¡± Ye Chuan narrowed his eyes and his complexion looked unsightly. He however was preparing a ferocious attack inwardly. He had already given a chance to Sea Demon Patriarch, but since this old man wasn¡¯t sensible, he also wouldn¡¯t hesitate to deal with him! The face of this old man turned green and he emitted dense killing intent. Since softness didn¡¯t work, he was prepared to use a hard method. But, at that moment, Hai Lili who had been hanging down her hear in sadness suddenly made an astonishing move. She pulled out a dagger and pressed it against her chest. Then, with a light push, that dagger stabbed her and her chest started bleeding. ¡°Lili, what are you doing?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch was caught unprepared. ¡°Grandfather, release noble son Ye and others. Let them go, otherwise, I will die in front of you today!¡± Hai Lili¡¯s tone was firm, but her eyes were filled with tears. On one hand, she was ashamed of her grandfather¡¯s absurd behavior, and on the other hand, she was feeling heartache due to the refusal of Ye Chuan. The more she thought, she harder she pressed the dagger, she couldn¡¯t wait for this dagger to stab her heart. ¡°Hai Lili, don¡¯t do something stupid, you don¡¯t have to do this!¡± Ye Chuan was also caught unprepared. He had never thought that Hai Lili was so ruthless to herself. ¡°Noble son Ye, can you tell me one thing? Did you never like me in your heart?¡± Hai Lili looked at Ye Chuan as the dagger in her hand moved deeper and deeper. Seeing she was bleeding so profusely, the old man was angry and also distressed. At this moment, he could do nothing. For this action of tonight, he had thought numerous possibilities, but he had never expected Hai Lili to actually jump out and threaten to die. Ye Chuan remained silent without any reply. If he said he liked her, not to mention Zhu Sijia would be sad, he feared the matter of tonight would be even more difficult to handle, and in the future, it would be even harder to separate from Hai Lili. But, if he said he never liked her, then he feared that Hai Lili might kill herself on the spot. If he knew this would happen in advance, then he would have already made the move! Ye Chuan shook his head and made a wry smile. He was unexpectedly caught unprepared and he didn¡¯t dare to act rashly for the time being. ¡°I understand, noble son Ye, thank you for not lying to me!¡± Hai Lili nodded with tears, and pressed the dagger further in, ¡°Grandfather, take out the antidote and let noble son Ye and others go, otherwise, Lili can only apologize to you!¡± The heart of Hai Lili was hurting. In the beginning, she was perturbed and had some hope to marry Ye Chuan, but now, she completely extinguished such thoughts and her heart became cold. After forcing her grandfather to let go of Ye Chuan and others, she didn¡¯t intend to live. ¡°Humph, Lili, I didn¡¯t expect the one who would force me will be you!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch coldly snorted and suddenly made a move. Instantly, he emitted an extremely powerful energy fluctuation, and instantly appearing behind Hai Lili, he hit the back of Hai Lili. Hai Lili trembled and the dagger stabbing her chest was sent flying. She was uninjured by this hit, but the dagger used to threaten Sea Demon Patriarch was gone! ¡°This is¡­¡­, Half Sage realm?¡± Ye Chuan exclaimed in shock. All along the way, this old man had truly remained hidden and low-key. On the surface, he only showed the cultivation of Peak Daoist Master realm. But now, in this critical moment, he finally displayed his amazing strength and his powerful energy fluctuation was surging. His cultivation actually was above Old Demon of Mount Yin. But, all along the way, he actually bore patiently, he truly was an old fox! Chapter 570: Sea Demon Commander ¡°Hahaha, yes, Half Sage realm. Several hundred years ago, I have already broken through to Half Sage realm!¡± Sea Demon Patriarch laughed heartily. Then, ordered in a stern voice, ¡°Guards, tie Lili up and take her away! Noble son Ye, tonight, you will marry and have a bridal chamber with Lili. You don¡¯t have any other choice. Don¡¯t say that you only love your junior apprentice sister, if you say it again, I will kill your junior apprentice sister Zhu Sijia. In addition, if you disagree with this marriage, then you all will die tonight!¡± After Sea Demon Patriarch displayed his true strength, he was very overbearing. He simply wanted to use force to achieve what he wanted. If Ye Chuan obediently got married to Hai Lili and have the bridal chamber with her, then they would become a family thereafter, but if Ye Chuan disagreed, then it appeared that he would truly begin to kill everyone. A few sea demon warriors rushed over and quickly restricted Hai Lili. Then, someone helped her bandage her wound and dragged her into the cabin after bounding her. They were going to tie her in a room to wait for Ye Chuan to go to the bridal chamber. ¡°No¡­¡­, grandfather, don¡¯t¡­¡­¡± Hai Lili wanted to struggle, but since she was bound tightly, she could do nothing other than shed tears. ¡°Noble son Ye, this is the last chance, are you going to marry Lili or not? Or do you want to become fish food along with your followers and disciples of Cloud Mist Sect?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch ignored the cries of Hai Lili. He coldly looked at Ye Chuan and said. He was emitting dense killing intent as if he would begin killing at any time. As long as Ye Chuan spoke one wrong word, he would immediately start killing! At that time, crackling sounds suddenly transmitted out from within the body of Ye Chuan. Then, under the gaze of Sea Demon Patriarch and numerous sea demon warriors, Ye Chuan stood up and emitted a ferocious energy fluctuation. ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, why are you doing this?¡± Ye Chuan faintly sighed as his energy fluctuation rose sharply. The old man¡¯s complexion changed greatly. As for the numerous sea demon warriors, they became pale and some even trembled. They had personally witnessed the strength of Ye Chuan. Although his cultivation couldn¡¯t be considered very high, he had countless tricks. Since the poisonous wine had lost its effect, what kind of counterattacks and consequences would they face? ¡°Ye¡­¡­, noble son Ye, you are not poisoned at all, are you?¡± The old man¡¯s complexion was very unsightly. At this moment, he finally noticed the wet deck below Ye Chuan. Under the curtain of night, he had overlooked a very important detail. ¡°Your Excellency Patriarch, did you forget what our Cloud Mist Sect is skilled at? In terms of refining pills and antidotes, no sect in the world can compare to our Cloud Mist Sect.¡± Ye Chuan faintly said. He had some pity for this Sea Demon Patriarch, but his killing intent was increasing. At that time, rustling sounds resounded as Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and others also stood up. They also emitted their powerful energy fluctuation as they surrounded Sea Demon Patriarch. Upon seeing this, the sea demon warriors trembled and looked deathly pale. As for Sea Demon Patriarch, his complexion looked even more unsightly. Just Ye Chuan alone was already difficult to deal with, now with the addition of Old Demon of Mount Yin and his other powerful followers, the result was already decided. Not considering numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, just Ye Chuan and these few fellows were powerful enough to thoroughly exterminate all of them. Sea Demon Patriarch was very powerful. He endured silently for many years and had secretly broken through to Half Sage realm, but two hands couldn¡¯t withstand four hands unless he broke through to Sage realm or was as heaven-defying as Qing Tianhou. Otherwise, how could he deal with Plague Archfiend Abasi and Diamond Ape King, these two super yao beasts who were similarly in Half Sage realm? Furthermore, there were Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon whose fighting power was also very high! ¡°You all¡­¡­, weren¡¯t you all poisoned? Were you all just pretending?¡± Sea Demon Patriarch looked around and his heart sank. ¡°Kakaka, old man, with just this small amount of skill, do you think you can secretly deal with us? Do you think you are too powerful or think that we are too stupid?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and countless vines appeared around the sea demon boat. ¡°Old man, before we make a move, you should know what to do, right? Give up, cut off your head and jump into the sea to become the fish food so as not to dirty our hands. Otherwise, once we make the move, it will not be as simple as just losing your head. You all will get to experience what is called death is better than life, kakakaka¡­¡­¡± The killing intent of Old Demon of Mount Yin soared, displaying his true color. During the exploration of the holy land, he had obtained many treasures and also had killed many yao beasts, but his craving to kill was not yet satisfied. And since sea demon warriors had not eyes, this was the perfect moment for him to kill and absorb their blood, qi and energy essence. Afterward, he might be able to attack his bottleneck of Half Sage realm! Sea Demon Patriarch looked pale. These few followers of Ye Chuan were powerful and also ferocious. Once Ye Chuan made the move, the worst possible outcome was his death. But, once Old Demon of Mount Yin, Plague Archfiend and others made the move, there truly wouldn¡¯t be a path to survive. Then, not only Sea Demon Clan wouldn¡¯t be revived, the entire clan might end under his hands! Sea Demon Patriarch panicked. As for the numerous sea demon warriors, they found this even more unbearable, all of them involuntarily trembled. Old Demon of Mount Yin had already summoned countless vines, displaying the ferociousness of a vine demon. Plague Archfiend Abasi also had displayed his Three Eyed Toad form and was prepared to attack. As for Rain Demon and Diamond Ape King, they were also ready to fight and their killing intent was soaring. Just these four people were enough to completely eradicate all sea demon warriors in this boat! ¡°Noble son Ye, don¡¯t, noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± No one knew how Hai Lili found strength, she suddenly broke out of her binding and rushed over. She then knelt in front of Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Noble son Ye, considering Lili, please spare grandfather and others. Grandfather, he just wanted to revive our Sea Demon Clan, and in the moment of confusion, he did this. His nature isn¡¯t like this, he doesn¡¯t truly want to harm the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. Noble son Ye, I beg you, noble son Ye¡­¡­¡± Hai Lili said as she slammed her head on the deck. Originally, the killing intent of Ye Chuan was also soaring, but looking at Hai Lili who was begging for mercy, furthermore, seeing her wound had reopened and was bleeding, her killing intent slowly dissipated. On the other side, Old Demon of Mount Yin seized this chance to untie Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, then quickly returned to the side of Ye Chuan. Tuoba Xiaoniao was still badly shaken and looked pale, but Zhu Sijia calmed down quickly. And looking at Hai Lili, she felt complicated. She didn¡¯t want Hai Lili to get too close with Ye Chuan, but she also couldn¡¯t forget the favor of this sea demoness who had tried to save everyone just a moment ago. Thus, she softly said, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, don¡¯t¡­¡­, let the matter drop!¡± ¡°Noble son Ye, everything is my fault, if you want to kill, then kill me!¡± At this moment Sea Demon Patriarch was disheartened and his earlier killing intent had already vanished. He looked tired and had already given up. With his strength, even if he couldn¡¯t defeat Plague Archfiend Abasi and others, he could easily escape. If he turned around and jump into the sea, then no one could do anything. But, in order to avoid Ye Chuan venting his anger on his clansmen and in order to leave a way to survive for his clan, he gave up on himself and stayed behind. Then, looking at his granddaughter Hai Lili who was begging on her knees in front of Ye Chuan and his clansmen who he will part forever, tears involuntarily flowed from his aged eyes. He didn¡¯t fear death, he feared the well-beings of his clan after his death, especially his granddaughter Hai Lili, she will be orphaned and alone, how would she survive hereafter? ¡°Well, it¡¯s just a misunderstanding, nothing more. Let this matter drop here, no one is allowed to mention this in the future. Hai Lili, this Neptune Horn, take it. Hereafter, the amphibious corps of Yao Beast Legion will be under your command. Don¡¯t disappoint me.¡± Ye Chuan took out Neptune Horn and gave it to Hai Lili. Then, he turned away, returning to his cabin and began to cultivate. This Neptune Horn was amazing, but in the eyes of Ye Chuan, it was just on the level of Iron Blooded Banner, moreover, it was very suitable for Hai Lili. She might be able to utilize its greater power. In addition, after he broke the golden sarcophagus and refined 18 Demongod Banner, he would have even more powerful treasure! Chapter 571: Dragon King Island Even after Ye Chuan had already left, everyone behind just stood in a daze. Neptune Horn, the holy item of Sea Demon Clan, it was very hard to obtain. In order to obtain it, they had to face that peerless yao beast Octopus Empress, but Ye Chuan gave it away to another person just like that, were they dreaming? Even Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others found it hard to believe what they saw let alone Sea Demon Patriarch and others. Hai Lili was neither excited nor happy upon obtaining the Neptune Horn. She just stood their blankly. Since Ye Chuan had spared her clan, she naturally was very happy, but she had never expected that not only Ye Chuan would generously spare her clan without any repercussion, he even handed Neptune Horn, a priceless treasure, to her. ¡°Lili, put it away. Hereafter, you will lead the clan, properly follow noble son Ye. Your grandfather has gotten old, truly old.¡± Sea Demon Patriarch took out a seal which represented the authority of Sea Demon Patriarch and handed it over to Hai Lili. He then turned away. A great calamity was about to befall on Wilderness World, and now, the world belonged only to the strong and this was the era of the young generation. Sea Demon Patriarch knew that his cultivation realm was not bad, but even though he had racked his brains for such a long period of time, what was the result? His clan was nearly exterminated, and let alone any hope of revival, his clan faced the dangers of being annihilated again and gain. Thus, he handed over all the authority to his granddaughter Hai Lili without any hesitation. Although Hai Lili was young without much experience and her cultivation was also not up to much, she had mastered the unique innate technique of Sea Demon Clan, Sea Demon Song, and more importantly, she had the backing of Ye Chuan. Under her leadership, his clansmen would follow Ye Chuan, and perhaps, truly become strong someday! ¡°We pay respect to Matriarch!¡± The sea demon warriors quickly bowed to Hai Lili, respectfully greeting the new patriarch. Although the cultivation of Hai Lili was not up to much, they had personally seen her relationship with Ye Chuan. With Hai Lili as the patriarch, not speaking anything else, they would at least be safe now. They didn¡¯t need to worry about Old Demon of Mount Yin and others starting to kill them. In addition, with the support of Ye Chuan, the revival of their clan was no longer just a wishful dream. And with the backing of Cloud Mist Sect, they no longer needed to drift around and they also wouldn¡¯t need to fear other people hunting them. This was something the old patriarchs couldn¡¯t provide. Hai Lili who was still kneeling on the deck became the new patriarch of Sea Demon Clan. She was also the first female patriarch of Sea Demon Clan in millions of years. With the seal and Neptune Horn in her hands, not only her combat power risen sharply, she was also burdened with heavy responsibility. ¡°Noble son Ye, you know, I don¡¯t want this Neptune Horn or anything, rather¡­¡­¡± Hai Lili faintly sighed with emotion. At that time, Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others who were standing at one side came back to their senses and quietly left. Just a moment ago, when they saw Ye Chuan handing over Neptune Horn, this peerless treasure, without any hesitation, the people hadn¡¯t understood why. But now, they finally understand. With this treasure, he thoroughly convinced Sea Demon Clan and also made them loyal. Henceforth, Yao Beast Legion had an elite Amphibian Corp. This kind of trade was absolutely worthwhile! Moreover, Sea Demon Clan had innate techniques, especially Hai Lili, she had royal bloodline and a unique innate technique. She might be able to display the true powers of Neptune Horn. It was like killing two birds with one arrow. Amazing! The move of Ye Chuan was truly amazing. He though further than anyone else. Sometimes, average people couldn¡¯t see through or understand matters as they only consider the immediate future, but Ye Chuan focused for a long term! Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin looked at each other. They understand the true intention of Ye Chuan at the same time. They then went to their respective cabins and began to cultivate. As for numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect lying on the deck, naturally, the sea demon warriors would take care of them. After this conflict, sea demon warriors wouldn¡¯t dare to have any useless thoughts. The huge sea demon boat rapidly sailed through the waves. For three days, Ye Chuan quietly cultivated in his cabin, but the sea demon boat continuously made its journey without stopping anywhere. And just when they were about to arrive Cyan Sand Island, Ye Chuan instructed to head towards Dragon King Island of the East Sect via Little Long¡¯er. Cyan Sand Island was rich in resources. It was the place used by many to restock a large amount of goods and freshwater. There were many auction houses and shops on this island. If one was lucky enough, then one could find some rare treasures. Originally, the sea demon boat was preparing to stop here to restock the goods, but since Ye Chuan had ordered, they turned away. Although there were abundant resources in Cyan Sand Island, it also had hidden dragons and tigers. At this moment, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to waste his time by taking the roundabout way. Thinking about Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was suppressed under Heavenly Yao Peak by Whiter Haired Heavenly Empress, he was dying to immediately rush over to Heavenly Yao Sect to rescue her. But, Dragon King Island in the East Sea was their foothold in Overseas World they had made with great difficulty, and in the future, it would be an important place to retreat. Thus, even if he was unwilling, he had to take a detour to take a look, and in passing, he could meet White Dragon Sage and his wife Chu Hongniang. From Cyan Sand Island to the East Sea, their journey was very smooth, they didn¡¯t encounter any obstacles. And after a few days, they could see Dragon King Island. After such a short period of time, Dragon King Island that originally had messy appearance was shrouded with restrictions and dense fog. That dense fog shrouded everything within the radius of one hundred li. And looking from far away, this island looked like a coiling dragon with its head held high. Moreover, people could sense a threatening aura from even far away, as a result, merchant ships detoured this island from far away, they didn¡¯t dare to approach it. Under the care of White Dragon Sage Bai Rulong, within this short period of time, Dragon King Island presented a completely new appearance. Compared to the past when this island was still known as Blacksnake Island, it looked even more imposing and majestic. Now, Blacksnake Clan was already exterminated, and the new overlord had slowly risen in the East Sea. When they were 20-30 li away from Dragon King Island, a fast ship came out from the dense fog and rapidly sailed towards the sea demon boat. And even before that fast ship had reached near, a figure suddenly jumped over, accompanied with a dragon roar and majestic aura. He was wearing a white battle robe. White Dragon Sage who had stayed behind on Dragon King Island personally came out to the sea to welcome Ye Chuan upon sensing his aura. ¡°Hahaha, brother Ye Chuan, you finally came!¡± The sea demon warriors and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect on the deck only felt something flashed by their eyes and saw Ye Chuan who had been cultivating in seclusion for past few days had appeared on the deck. ¡°Brother White Dragon, long time no see, you look even more graceful! What about Hongniang?¡± ¡°She is at home, she is busy with personally cooking a welcome dinner for you, let¡¯s go!¡± White Dragon Sage smiled. ¡°Hahaha, fine, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan and White Dragon Sage looked at each other and flew towards Dragon King Island! Chapter 572: Demonic Dragon Physique The personality of Ye Chuan and White Dragon Sage was very similar. They would keep their words. They instantly left behind the sea demon boat far behind. After rushing roughly one kilometer, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Neither of them had flying swords but their speed was faster than using a flying sword. ¡°Good technique, brother Ye Chuan, I am transforming!¡± Even after a while, seeing Ye Chuan was actually able to keep up with him and even was able to take the lead a few times, the competitive heart of White Dragon Sage was provoked. He wanted to see the limit of Ye Chuan¡¯s speed. He held his head high and roared, then transformed into a white dragon. Afterwards, a dragon roar resounded as he accelerated. In an instant, his speed doubled. As for Ye Chuan, a bloody radiance suddenly appeared around him and along with crackling sounds, a pair of blood-red wings appeared on his back. With the use of Remex Armguard, his speed greatly increased. Now, although his speed was still not as heaven-defying as the speed of White Dragon Sage, the distance between them was not increasing rapidly. What¡¯s more, along with the burst of the wind, Ye Chuan accelerated again like a weightless feather riding the wind, and not only the distance between him and White Dragon Sage no longer increase, rather decreased rapidly. With Remex Armguard and ancient Cyan Feather Technique, the speed of Ye Chuan reached an astonishing level. It appeared as if this treasure was innately tailor-made for him. In his hands, the might of this treasure was far greater than in the hands of Remex Devil. During the exploration of the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, Ye Chuan had encountered many dangers along with Octopus Empress who had left behind a hidden danger within him, but his gains were also amazing! Roar! With a roar, White Dragon Sage accelerated again. His dragon roar reverberated throughout the sea. This time, he was so fast that naked eyes would find it difficult to see him. Even Old Demon of Mount Yin, Diamond Ape King and others who were standing on the deck also could only see a silvery white phantom. They already couldn¡¯t see the figure of White Dragon Sage. Sonic booms resounded and the air itself twisted as if he was about to tear a time and space rift in the sky. A legendary expert of Overseas World, he truly was powerful! On the deck, the complexion of everyone changed. They were shocked by the speed of White Dragon Sage. Recently, during the life-and-death battle against Blacksnake Clan, White Dragon Sage was seriously injured. Without the help of Ye Chuan, he might have died along with his family in the hands of Blacksnake Clan. But now, after recovering from all his injuries, he fully displayed the innate super speed of White Dragon Race. His speed was perhaps faster than even Qing Tianhou! Roar¡­¡­ Another dragon roar resounded. It was deeper and more majestic. It exploded in the ears of everyone like a thunderclap. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t use Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. At this moment, even if he used Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, it would be useless, thus, he crazily circulated all Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, especially that Demon Dragon Talisman, and his speed reached the level he had never reached before. In addition, along with crackling sounds, demonic dragon scales glimmering with cold radiance appeared on his body, followed by a phantom of demonic dragon behind him. This phantom was very lifelike. It appeared as if a real demonic dragon was about to arrive here from the Outer World tearing the void. Ye Chuan who resembled a weightless feather just a moment ago looked heavy now. And corresponding to this, his momentum was imposing, but not only his speed didn¡¯t fall, instead increased as he closely followed behind White Dragon Sage. Moreover, his momentum was above White Dragon Sage! Demonic Dragon Physique! The competitive spirit of Ye Chuan was ignited, and crazily circulating Demonic Dragon Talisman, his speed reached the new level. This was also the result of breaking through to peak Daoist Master realm and condensing twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans. Although he couldn¡¯t freely use the ability of Octopus Talisman forcibly condensed by Octopus Empress, it similarly strengthened his body, increasing his speed to a higher level! One white dragon, one faint demonic dragon, crazily chased after one another above the sea. Their speed was many times faster than using ordinary flying swords. ¡°Big brother Ye Chuan, wait for me!¡± Little Long¡¯er who was standing on the deck suddenly transformed into a demonic dragon and rushed after them. He was the real demonic dragon, thus, his speed was also amazing. In the blink of an eye, he had already covered the distance of several hundred meters. Behind, people exclaimed and Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Diamond Ape King also changed after them in succession. Among those four great experts, only Plague Archfiend Abasi who innately feared waters didn¡¯t dare to leave the boat. ¡°Amazing, one is faster than others, who exactly is Ye Chuan, how come he is able to match these heaven-defying yao beasts?¡± No one knew when the old patriarch had also come out to the deck, but looking at the backview of Ye Chuan and others, he was shocked. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t go too far with his scheme, otherwise, with the strength of Ye Chuan¡¯s group, his Sea Demon Clan would have been eradicated! In the eyes of outsiders, the cultivation of Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t be considered very powerful, he had just broken through to Peak Daoist Master realm. His identity was also not heaven-defying. He was just a Big Disciple of third-rate sect. There were countless such people in the entire Wilderness World, at least a hundred among a thousand people, moreover, had huge disparity compared to some geniuses. But now, if someone said Ye Chuan was just an ordinary Big Disciple of a third-rate sect, then this old man would definitely not believe it. Although Cloud Mist Sect had a long history and glorious past, it had long declined since then. It was not worthy to even call it a third-rate sect. Even Great Elder Zhu Guohong who controlled the sect was just in the later stage of Daoist Master realm. How could such a sect cultivate Ye Chuan, this heaven-defying younger generation disciple? Either Ye Chuan had some other background or had some kind of fortuitous encounter. He absolutely was not an ordinary young disciple! The old patriarch was very experienced and knowledgeable. He increasingly felt that Ye Chuan was not simple. He looked at Zhu Sijia and Tuoba Xiaoniao, then looked at his granddaughter Hai Lili. After a while, he said nothing and left. No one knows what would happen in the future, but now, he was sure that handing over all the authority to Hai Lili and making the entire clan follow Ye Chuan was absolutely a right choice. Not long after, Ye Chuan and others disappeared into the horizon. Even a small back dot couldn¡¯t be seen. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and sea demon warriors on the deck chatted excitedly with each other. They were shocked by the speed of Ye Chuan and White Dragon Sage. They were unable to calm down for a long time. Meanwhile, White Dragon Sage and Ye Chuan had already arrived at Dragon King Island. After the fierce competition, White Dragon Sage still was the first one to land on the sandy beach. He then turned around to look at Ye Chuan, but there was no excitement on his face, rather deep shock. His White Dragon Clan was known for their speed, in addition, his cultivation had already reached Half Sage realm, the defeat of Ye Chuan was nothing unexpected. But, how come the speed of Ye Chuan had increased to such an astonishing degree? ¡°Brother Ye Chuan, what is your cultivation realm now? Did you breakthrough to Half Sage realm?¡± White Dragon Sage couldn¡¯t help asking. He was unable to see through the cultivation of Ye Chuan, but he could feel that Ye Chuan had yet to reach Half Sage realm, but his energy fluctuation and speed were far beyond his expectation. ¡°No, I just broke through to Peak Daoist Master realm, but it was a forced breakthrough, if I don¡¯t stabilize my cultivation realm soon, it might fall back to Rank 7 Daoist Master realm at any time.¡± Ye Chuan truthfully said. He didn¡¯t have any reason to hide this to White Dragon Sage. ¡°Then you¡­¡­, are you the reincarnation of a demonic dragon? Or, is demonic dragon your true identity?¡± White Dragon Sage asked again. He cleared remembered that he had asked this same question before, but Ye Chuan had denied it. But now, he couldn¡¯t help but doubt it. Demonic Dragon Clan was one of the heaven-defying overlords of Outer World. No matter how strong and fast he was, losing to a demonic dragon wasn¡¯t shameful. ¡°No, I just cultivate a technique called Demonic Dragon Sutra, that¡¯s all. As for the true demonic dragon, he is my little brother Little Long¡¯er. Look, here he comes!¡± Ye Chuan smiled and roared. Immediately afterward, a dragon roar came from far away. Then, a small dragon that had yet to reach adulthood flew over penetrating through the dense fog. Behind him, there were Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Diamond Ape King. Upon seeing Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon, White Dragon Sage had no reaction, but upon seeing Diamond Ape King, his eyebrows slightly rose for a moment. Clearly, he sensed the strength of the latter. Compared to Plague Archfiend Abasi, Diamond Ape King who similarly was in Half Sage realm was more powerful! After going to the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, not only the cultivation of Ye Chuan had progressed a lot, he had also tamed a Half Sage realm yao beast. What did he encounter in the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan? Also, how did he make such a great expert acknowledge him as a master? Even though he was very experienced, White Dragon Sage was puzzled, and as the old patriarch of Sea Demon Clan, he was unable to see through Ye Chuan more and more. Chapter 573: The means of evil spirits ¡°Brother White Dragon, let¡¯s change the place first.¡± Ye Chuan could see the confusion of White Dragon Sage, but took the initiative to walk away and White Dragon Sage followed after him. The two walked while talking about the matters that happened after they separated. After Blacksnake Clan was annihilated and the time and space rift to Nether World was sealed, White Dragon Sage settled down on Dragon King Island with his family. Then, while strengthening the defense around the island, he eliminated the remnants of Blacksnake Clan in the east sea. But, due to the shortage of manpower, Dragon King Island had yet to establish its dominance over the entire east sea region. That was still far away. Now, it had just established the foundation. After listening to White Dragon Sage, Ye Chuan briefly told about his trip to the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan. He mainly focused on Reincarnation World where Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng were trapped. The two men chatted while walking. And White Dragon Sage who had been quietly listening for a while said with a solemn expression, ¡°Brother Ye Chuan, you mean that Qing Tianhou who dominates the western region and State teacher Jiang Tunsheng are trapped in an ancient grave world?¡± ¡°Yes! With their cultivation realm, they might be able to break free from that trap, but there is also the possibility that they will be trapped there forever!¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°Those two, not only their cultivation is powerful, their identity is also not ordinary. I can foresee that the western region and Daqin Dynasty will have internal strife. If it isn¡¯t controlled properly, then this internal strife might even spread out, causing the entire Wilderness World fall into chaos in advance! At that time, Cloud Mist Sect that is located in the southern border will be involved. If the situation got bad, then perhaps, the entire Cloud Mist Sect would have to migrate overseas!¡± Ye Chuan also looked solemn. He didn¡¯t keep any secrets in front of White Dragon Sage. After leaving the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan, he wanted to immediately rush over to Heavenly Yao Sect and save a person, but he had taken a detour to the east sea because he had to explain the situation to White Dragon Sage and make preparation in advance. ¡°Okay, at that time, we will fight together. But, if your entire Cloud Mist Sect is moved, I fear that your Cloud Mist Sect will become the foremost sect of the Overseas World. Other small sects will not have any chance to develop.¡± White Dragon Sage smiled, but his complexion was solemn. If they truly had to take this step, then the Overseas World would also not be calm. At this moment, Dragon King Island had greatly changed and there were many restrictions, but compared to the level of the mountain Cloud Mist Sect was located, it was still far away. ¡°Brother White Dragon, at that time, you will be the Taishang Elder of our Cloud Mist Sect, then any overseas loose cultivators and sects that not accept us will be annihilated.¡± Ye Chuan laughed and added after a pause, ¡°Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng who are trapped in the Reincarnation World are still not the most powerful people, in the final ancient grave world, we encountered a Mid Sage realm peerless yao beast, Octopus Empress.¡± ¡°Mid Sage realm?¡± White Dragon Sage found it hard to believe. Now, Half Sage realm expert could dominate one region of Overseas World. As for the Mid Sage realm expert, he/she was absolutely a heaven-defying expert no one could defy. ¡°Brother Ye Chuan, then how did you return alive after meeting such peerless evil spirit?¡± ¡°I made a deal with her. I promise to look for the missing fragments of Lost City scattered outside, thus that peerless evil spirit Octopus Empress let us go.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°That peerless evil spirit, did she do something to you?¡± White Dragon Sage quickly asked. Since she dared to directly let Ye Chuan and others go, that Octopus Empress must have something to rely on. Perhaps, she had done something to Ye Chuan, otherwise how could she not fear Ye Chuan not completing her task after he left the grave world? ¡°Yes, that evil spirit has condensed a unique talisman within my body. Brother White Dragon, can you examine whether you can crack it?¡± Ye Chuan stopped and said with a hint of expectation. This time, he had detoured to Dragon King Island, on one hand, to tell the information of Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng and also tell him to make preparations for chaos in advance; on the other hand, it was also to seek the help of White Dragon Sage and see whether he had any way to crack this sinister move left within his body by Octopus Empress. On the sea dragon boat, Ye Chuan had tried to crack and refine this Octopus Talisman by himself, the result, his divine sense was absorbed and he nearly suffered a fatal backlash. Unless he broke through to the Sage realm or find a Sage realm expert to help him, he could only be controlled by Octopus Empress. After just trying once, Ye Chuan clearly knew that that Octopus Talisman was very powerful. Unfortunately, Sage realm experts could only be encountered not sought. As for breaking through to Sage realm, he knew that it was not achievable in a short time. Although White Dragon Sage was still in Half Sage realm, as a well-known legendary expert of Overseas World, he was very knowledgeable and experienced, perhaps, he might have a way. ¡°Clam down, relax as much as possible!¡± White Dragon Sage didn¡¯t speak superfluous words. He seriously reached out his hand and pressed on the back of Ye Chuan. A pure and warm current entered the body of Ye Chuan from the palm of White Dragon Sage. It first circulated a lap around the limbs of Ye Chuan, then slowly accumulated in his dantian. Not long after, he found the Octopus Talisman within the body of Ye Chuan. He then carefully examined for a while and cautiously infiltrated it. White Dragon Sage spared no expense to help Ye Chuan examine and crack this sinister move of Octopus Empress. Ye Chuan was nervous. He feared that White Dragon Sage would receive the backlash of Octopus Talisman like he did. But to his surprise, White Dragon Sage didn¡¯t encounter any resistance, then, there was nothing. The divine sense that infiltrated the Octopus Talisman disappeared like a clay ox entering the sea. When Ye Chuan had tried to crack it himself, he immediately suffered a backlash, but it was completely different when an outsider was doing it. ¡°Eh, what is this?¡± White Dragon Sage exclaimed and suddenly transformed into a white dragon. He then roared and injected boundless energy into the Octopus Talisman within Ye Chuan¡¯s body. White Dragon Sage was not necessarily more powerful than Diamond Ape King who was similarly in Half Sage realm, but his experience and knowledge was broader. His dragon power was very pure, it was very effective against the evil power. But, just like before, that majestic energy vanished without a trace when it entered that Octopus Talisman. White Dragon Sage became pale. He had instantly exhausted a lot of vitality, but he didn¡¯t easily give up. He didn¡¯t believe that he wouldn¡¯t be able to deal with this evil talisman. He roared and injected even more majestic energy into Ye Chuan to explore that mysterious Octopus Talisman. The result, his energy just vanished like before. The only change was that Octopus Talisman had gotten slightly bigger. It appeared as if it could absorb even more energy of White Dragon Sage. If one said the energy injected into Ye Chuan¡¯s body was a tide, then this Octopus Talisman was a bottomless pit. No matter how much energy was poured into it, it disappeared without a trace! ¡°Impossible, even if she is a Sage realm expert, it¡¯s impossible to have such means, unless¡­¡­¡± White Dragon Sage didn¡¯t believe that he wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything to this talisman, and just when he gritted his teeth to true again, a dangerous feeling appeared in his heart. It was already too late to sense it. And at the same time, Ye Chuan groaned as the Octopus Talisman counterattacked. No matter Ye Chuan or White Dragon Sage, they suffered heavy injury and spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Boy, honestly look for the fragments of Lost City for this lord, otherwise, you will die very miserably. In the entire Wilderness World, there is no one that can break this lord¡¯s technique. And let me tell you something, the more people try to crack this Octopus Talisman, the more powerful it would become, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± The laughter of Octopus Empress echoed in the air for a long time. Ye Chuan sweated profusely, and he suddenly felt like he had returned to that unfathomable ancient grave world! Chapter 574: Worries for the future The laughter of Octopus Empress gradually dissipated, but Ye Chuan and White Dragon Sage were unable to remain calm for a long time. The means of a Sage realm expert was truly heaven-defying! White Dragon Sage was shocked in his heart as he learned how powerful a Sage realm expert was. Even Ye Chuan who had seen many Sage realm experts in his previous life was shocked. This Octopus Empress who was trapped in that ancient grave, even in his previous life when Sage realm experts were everywhere, she would be one of the best. ¡°Only another Sage realm expert can deal with a Sage realm expert! Ye Chuan, I am sorry, this brother cannot help you!¡± After a long time, White Dragon Sage broke the silence and added with a bitter look, ¡°Now, what will you do next? Will you travel around to look for the fragments of Lost City?¡± ¡°No, I will not wander around everywhere to look for the fragments of Lost City, at least not in a short time.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and added, ¡°After returning to Cloud Mist Sect, I have to go to Heavenly Yao Sect to save a person. It is very likely that I have to fight against White Haired Heavenly Empress.¡± ¡°What? Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi?¡± White Dragon Sage was shocked. Although he had been traveling around the Overseas World, he had heard the mighty name of White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi. What kind of place was Heavenly Yao Sect? That however was a foremost sect of Wilderness World. It was a giant of the cultivation world. And like Cloud Mist Sect, it also had a long history, moreover, this was a sect filled with experts. As for White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, she had already broken through to peak Half Sage realm thousands of years ago. She was not any inferior to Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. Ye Chuan going to Heavenly Yao Sect to fight against her was just courting death. It was no different from a moth flying into the fire. White Dragon Sage looked at Ye Chuan in disbelief. He wondered if he had heard wrongly. Ye Chuan had finally got out of that ancient grave world, narrowly escaping that peerless evil spirit Octopus Empress, and now, he wanted to ho to Heavenly Yao Sect and provoke White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, was he crazy? Or, was he tired of living? ¡°Yes, White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. Going to Heavenly Yao Sect to save a person might be more dangerous than the exploration of the holy land of Sea Demon Clan. In order to gather the fragments of Lost City, Octopus Empress didn¡¯t dare to easily kill him as it was very hard to find another suitable candidate. But, White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi was different. She had a high position in Heavenly Yao Sect and she could summon rains and winds as she pleased. If he truly angered her, then she might immediately kill him. ¡°Brother Ye Chuan, who is the person you want to save?¡± White Dragon Sage asked again. ¡°Heavenly Maiden, Hong Zixia! For saving me, Heavenly Empress punished her by suppressing her below Heavenly Yao Peak, never to see the sun again. I must save her, at all costs!¡± Ye Chuan replied solemnly. He was full of determination. White Dragon Sage became silent. Looking at the determined face of Ye Chuan, he suddenly understood everything. Ever since ancient times, even heroes had a weakness for the charms of beauty. Which girl didn¡¯t yearn for love? Which boy wasn¡¯t full of tenderness? If his wife Chu Hongniang was suppressed below a peak by other people, never to see the sun again, then he would also go crazy! White Dragon Sage remained quiet. He didn¡¯t try to dissuade Ye Chuan. Although he had not associated with Ye Chuan for a long time, they had gone through fire and water. He understood the nature and disposition of Ye Chuan. At this time, urging Ye Chuan to not take action in impulse was not only waste of words, it was also hypocritical. ¡°Brother, what do I need to do?¡± After a long time, White Dragon Sage asked. He didn¡¯t care when Ye Chuan would leave and he also didn¡¯t try to dissuade him, rather directly asked what he could do. And after a pause, he added, ¡°Now, Dragon King Island is already stable, and there is Hongning here to take care of everything, I can go together with you to Heavenly Yao Sect!¡± ¡°No, brother White Dragon, it is enough if you guard Dragon King Island.¡± Ye Chuan raised his head and looked at the space rift in the middle of the Dragon King Lake leading to Ghost World sealed by Four Seas Dragon King Formation laid out by White Dragon Sage in person. Just the restriction was insufficient. Ghost King Dusen and Blacksnake Demongod might come back from that space rift at any time. Thus, White Dragon Sage absolutely shouldn¡¯t easily leave Dragon King Island! Following the gaze of Ye Chuan, White Dragon Sage also looked at the Dragon King Lake. He was even more aware of the importance of Four Seas Dragon King Formation, and he also couldn¡¯t leave this place at ease. If Ghost King Dusen truly returned when he was not here, then his wife and children might¡­¡­ After remaining silent for a while, White Dragon Sage asked, ¡°Brother Ye Chuan, this trip to Heavenly Yao Sect, how confident are you?¡± ¡°Fifty percent, no, at most thirty percent!¡± Ye Chuan smiled bitterly and added, ¡°But, even if I only have a 1% chance, I will go to Heavenly Yao Sect. Brother White Dragon, if I don¡¯t return, then place take care of Jiajia and Xiaoniao. As for Cloud Mist Sect¡­¡­, brother Nan Tiandu staying behind in the sect is an amazing personage. He will be able to deal with ordinary problems. If he truly ran into serious unstoppable calamity, then let nature take its course.¡± Ye Chuan paused and sighed. Cloud Mist Sect was the legacy of his former follower Ghost Hand Medicinal King. At that time when building this sect, Ye Chuan had also spent a lot of effort. Although things had changed after such a long period of time, he was still unwilling to watch the annihilation of Cloud Mist Sect. But, the entire Wilderness World was about to fall into chaos. He couldn¡¯t insist on some matters. Even if the sect ceased to exist, as long as people were still alive, that was fine. They might be able to rebuild the sect and reach an even greater height. But, if people were gone, then the sect would truly cease to exist! Before going to Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan was worried about Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others. Thus, he entrusted them to White Dragon Sage. This was his real purpose to take a detour to the east sea. ¡°Okay, brother Ye Chuan, you can rest assured!¡± White Dragon Sage nodded his head. He didn¡¯t make great promises, but he looked serious. This was more reassuring. After getting out of God Burial Valley, Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t made many friends, just White Dragon Sage and Nan Tiandu, but, this was enough. They were true friends. ¡°Brother White Dragon, many thanks!¡± Ye Chuan slightly bowed. White Dragon Sage was a teacher and also a friend to him. With the promise of the latter, he was freed from his worries for the future. ¡°Brother Ye Chuan, there is no need to be polite between us brothers! Let¡¯s go, the meals should be ready now. If we don¡¯t return now, then my wife might curse me to death!¡± White Dragon Sage discarded all the unpleasant feeling and invited Ye Chuan to a feast. ¡°Behind every successful man, there is a tigress controlling the kitchen, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan laughed heartily and left with White Dragon Sage. Both of them were decisive and free-spirited people. They walked while talking and quickly disappeared into the dense fog. Chapter 575: White Dragon Crystal Not far away from the Dragon King Lake, in a valley shaded by trees, some wooden houses were built at an unknown time. They looked simple and crude, but they were very clean, and there was a flower garden with red flowers in front of those houses. They radiated a warm family atmosphere. Dragon King Island still had many things to do. White Dragon Sage and Chu Hongniang wanted to strengthen the defense of this island. They also wanted to clean up the remnants of Blacksnake Clan in nearby waters. They were very busy, but even in such a tight time, they still had sorted out their small family. Their house was clean and cozy. At this moment, even from far away, one could smell a delicate fragrance of a meal. Chu Hongniang had personally gone to the kitchen to prepare many steaming hot meals. Not long after, Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Little Long¡¯er and others also came over, and they enjoyed this special feast. ¡°Hongniang, did you gather all medicinal herbs?¡± After the meal, Ye Chuan asked. White Dragon Sage and Chu Hongniang had a son and daughter twin. Originally, their family of four was warm and happy, but they unfortunately encountered the dirty hand of Blacksnake Clan. Now, although their daughter was saved and had already returned to her previous self, their son was still frozen in a coffin. Only with the pilled refined with Heavenly Dragon Rice, Dragon Tongue Orchid, Lightning Strike Horseback Cloth and Heavenly Lightning Root could cure him. ¡°Not yet, we have already found Dragon Tongue Orchid and Heavenly Lightning Root, but we have yet to find even a trace of Heavenly Dragon Rice and Lightning Strike Horseback Cloth.¡± Talking about her frozen son, Chu Hongniang¡¯s eyes became red. ¡°Leave Heavenly Dragon Rice to me, at most in next year, I will have enough Heavenly Dragon Rice. There is heavenly Dragon Tree in the rear mountain of Cloud Mist Sect. In the future, it can be transported to Dragon King Island. You don¡¯t need to worry about it. As for Lightning Strike Horseback Cloth¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°Although it is comparatively more difficult to find, as long as you spend more time to search, you will find it. There are many people in mainland, after I returned to Cloud Mist Sect, I will send some people to look for it.¡± ¡°Okay, many thanks, noble son Ye.¡± Chu Hongniang stood up and bowed. She was truly grateful to Ye Chuan, this benefactor. At that time when she was drifting on the sea seriously injured, if Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t saved her, then she might have already died, no need to mention about annihilating Blacksnake Clan and saving her another child. In this life, she had never owed to anyone, Ye Chuan was the only exception. Moreover, she wouldn¡¯t be able to repay this favor in her lifetime. When she learned that Ye Chuan had successfully come out of the holy land of Sea Demon Clan, moreover, he was coming to Dragon King Island with Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others, she was very happy and personally urged her husband White Dragon Sage to go more than ten li away to receive them. ¡°It is a simple matter, Hongniang is too polite.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t say much. This topic was a bit heavy. He didn¡¯t want to make Chu Hongniang sad. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right, noble son Ye, in this short period of time, I refined a Heavenly Cicada Cloth, how about you take a look?¡± Chu Hongniang took out an extremely thin battle armor from her space ring. It was light and soft. ¡°I used Overseas World¡¯s silk called Sea Silkworm to knit and refine this battle armor. Not only it can withstand insidious poison, but since it is tough and tensile, it can also stop sharp weapons. Wearing this armor, it can stop the surprise attack and flying sword attacks of enemies.¡± Chu Hongniang spread out this Heavenly Cicada Cloth and explained the unique aspect of this treasure. Ye Chuan took it and looked for a while. Sure enough, it was tough and tensile. With the protection of this treasure, small poison needles wouldn¡¯t be able to easily penetrate. But upon closer look, Ye Chuan discovered even more details. This cloth was pretty elastic and it was the right size for him. It seemed Chu Hongniang had tailor-made for him. Or perhaps, she felt grateful for him who was her savior, or perhaps, she heard he was going to Heavenly Yao Sect to save a person next, so she took out this treasure she had spent painstaking effort to refine. ¡°Hongniang, you have to take care of your two children, in addition, you also need to help brother White Dragon to guard this Dragon King Island and clean up the remnants of Blacksnake Clan, so you need this treasure more than I do. I appreciate your good intention, but you should take this battle armor.¡± Ye Chuan refused and returned this Heavenly Cicada Cloth to Chu Hongniang. ¡°No, noble son Ye, if you don¡¯t accept this Heavenly Cicada Cloth, then this Hongniang will go to Heavenly Yao Sect with you.¡± Chu Hongniang looked at Ye Chuan and added: ¡°In this short period of time, I have accompanied my son. Every day, I told him that he has a handsome and capable uncle. This uncle will bring back medicinal herbs when he returns from the mainland and wakes him up. Noble son Ye, since you must go to Heavenly Yao Sect to save a person, I will not stop you, but if you don¡¯t return then when my son wakes up one day and asked what his uncle looked like, then what should I say?¡± Chu Hongniang¡¯s eyes were red. There was already a hint of tears. After Ye Chuan saved her and they went through life and death together, she had already considered Ye Chuan as her family. When she heard Ye Chaun was going to Heavenly Yao Sect and battle against White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi to save a person from her husband, she was very worried and hated herself for not being strong enough to accompany Ye Chuan to Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°Fine, Hongniang, I will accept it.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t reject again. He refined this Heavenly Cicada Cloth on the spot and wore it. The size was a little small, but because it was very elastic, it unexpectedly was comfortable to wear. It was very light and thin, moreover, it perfectly wrapped around his body. He could wear addition war robe outside and no one could see he was wearing this Heavenly Cicada Cloth. ¡°Brother Ye Chuan, I don¡¯t have anything good, but I hope you will accept this crystal as my gift. Be cautious all along the way, be aware of everything!¡± White Dragon Sage took out a peculiar crystal and squeezed it into the hand of Ye Chuan allowing no explanation. Ye Chuan took a look and was shocked. A white light was flickering in this crystal. It was warm like a jade and was shaped like a shrunk white dragon. Its tail, eyes and even the scales on its body were lifelike. Placing on his palm, he could feel majestic pure energy entering his body, and felt like his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. What was this crystal? It was clearly a dragon vein crystal formed via condensed dragon vein. Moreover, this crystal was formed via the condensation of the ancient dragon vein! The Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body rotated rapidly, especially that Demonic Dragon Talisman, quickly absorbing the energy of this dragon vein crystal. Then, while rotating, the Demonic Dragon Talisman began to twist and deformed as if it wanted to transform. And at the same time, the pores all over his body opened wide and his energy fluctuation rose rapidly. This was Dragon Vein Crystal, and its value was above many top tier medicinal pills! Being experienced and knowledgeable, Ye Chuan understood the significance of this dragon vein crystal. This treasure was too valuable. It was so valuable that he didn¡¯t dare to accept it. It seemed that this dragon veil crystal was already crystalized for a very long time. It was very likely that White Dragon Sage had been keeping it to help in his cultivation. It might even be the holy item he brought out from the racial holy land of White Dragon Race. If Ye Chuan took it away, then the cultivation speed of White Dragon Sage would greatly fall hereafter! Such a priceless treasure, how could he accept it? ¡°Brother White Dragon, this treasure, I¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to accept it. Before Ye Chuan could finish his words, White Dragon Sage pushed dragon vein crystal away and said, ¡°Brother Ye Chuan, I regard you as my brother, don¡¯t reject it, I can look for another treasure if this treasure is gone, but if you are gone, then I cannot resurrect you!¡± White Dragon Sage looked straight at Ye Chuan. Although he didn¡¯t have tears in his eyes like Chu Hongniang, he was also worried. This dragon vein crystal was the only thing he had that could help Ye Chuan. ¡°Fine, brother White Dragon, Hongniang, after I rescued Hong Zixia, I will return here with her to thank you two. I am leaving now, take care!¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t say much and took that dragon vein crystal. He then turned around and left. In order to help him, White Dragon Sage and Chu Hongniang had truly taken out priceless treasures for him. Ye Chuan could feel deep affection from them. If he doesn¡¯t leave now, then he might melt in their deep affection. ¡°Take care!¡± White Dragon Sage and Chu Hongniang followed outside the door and watched the backview of Ye Chuan until he boarded the sea dragon boat and left with everyone. ¡°Husband, you say, will noble son Ye Chuan come back alive?¡± Chu Hongniang asked. ¡°Definitely!¡± White Dragon Sage nodded his head with certainty. ¡°What if he didn¡¯t return?¡± Chu Hongniang¡¯s tears finally rolled down after Ye Chuan had left. ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± White Dragon Sage shook his head. ¡°Husband, can you return to White Dragon Realm and request your father and others to make a move¡­¡­¡± Chu Hongniang¡¯s eyes were blurred. She knew that this would make her husband White Dragon Sage break his oath and clan¡¯s regulation, but she still said it. This time, White Dragon Sage didn¡¯t reply. He remained silent for a long time. Chapter 576: Another kind of cultivation After leaving Dragon King Island, the sea demon boat sailed straight towards Cloud Mist Sect without stopping even once alone the way. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others frequently went to the deck to either watch the scenery or to leisurely drink and eat to their heart¡¯s content. Ye Chuan however continuously cultivated without leaving his room. He knew that if he wanted to rescue Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixya, then he had to face White Haired Heavenly Empress! Ye Chuan felt heavy pressure. White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi was like a big mountain in front of him. Either he could surmount this mountain and save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia or he would be crushed into pieces by this big mountain. Ye Chuan cultivated, sparing no effort. He wanted to make a breakthrough again before going to Heavenly Yao Sect, but just a day after they left Dragon King Island, his cultivation was interrupted. The backlash of Octopus Talisman was coming again. After leaving Bellowing Waves Island, the backlash of Octopus Talisman had come several times, but the situation was nothing serious. Sometimes, he felt itchy, and sometimes, his blood and qi seethed, but this time, the situation was very serious far beyond his expectation. It was just a little unusual at the beginning as if there were some small issues, but those small issues accumulated and suddenly broke out, wanting to break his body. It was late at night, and Ye Chuan was sitting cross-legged on his room when the Octopus Talisman suddenly seethed. First, his skin felt itchy, and slowly, that feeling spread to his flesh under the skin. Even if scratched himself until he was bleeding everywhere, it would be useless. But, the itching didn¡¯t stop and it was unbearable. He was dying to scrape his bone with a knife. Although this itching nearly drove him insane, it didn¡¯t stop. He then began to feel stinging pain as if thousands of needles were pricking all over his body. That feeling was just like he was being put to death by a thousand cuts. One moment, he felt an itch, and on the other moment, he felt pain, this combination of itch and pain was sufficient to drive anyone insane. Ye Chuan was prepared in advance. He knew that Octopus Empress wouldn¡¯t easily let him off, but for a moment, he couldn¡¯t help trembling and wanted to scream in pain, but he forcibly stopped himself from screaming. Soon, his forehead was filled with sweat. In his previous life, before he had become Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he had also suffered many pains and sufferings. Although the effect of Octopus Talisman within his body had made suffer pain, relying on his extraordinary fortitude, he endured it. The effect of Octopus Talisman didn¡¯t last for a long time. In less than half an hour, this talisman simmered down and appeared no different from other talismans. Now, Ye Chaun was drenched with sweat and his limbs were numb. Only after a good while, he slowly recovered his senses. This time, how come the effect of Octopus Talisman is so powerful? What kind of secret technique did that Octopus Empress use? Did this talisman truly become more powerful after absorbing the energy of White Dragon Sage? Hereafter, will it become stronger and stronger? The heart of Ye Chuan shook, recalling the voice of Octopus Empress that reverberated throughout the sky when White Dragon Sage tried to crack the Octopus Talisman. Although he already knew that this Octopus Talisman was a hidden danger, it seemed that he had underestimated this talisman. Not only was it a hidden danger, it was also a fatal danger. If it got stronger and stronger, then he might lose control of himself, go insane or even die. This time, he was able to endure with his extraordinary fortitude, what about next time? Ye Chuan shuddered. He who wasn¡¯t afraid even when facing Qing Tianhou however felt fear now. Although Qing Tianhou was powerful, he could still stay far away from him, but he couldn¡¯t get rid of this talisman and it was within his body. Moreover, he had to suffer torture once every three days, and if this torment got stronger and stronger, then who could endure? Along with the footsteps in the darkness, Zhu Sijia suddenly pushed open the door and walked in. She only wore an extremely thin cloth. It seemed that she had just woken up from her sleep. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what happened?¡± Upon seeing the sweaty appearance of Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia was startled. She quickly took out a handkerchief and help Ye Chuan to wipe the sweat. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, isn¡¯t this the effect of that something talisman left within your body by that Octopus Empress?¡± Zhu Sijia quickly realized what had happened as she used her hands to wipe Ye Chuan¡¯s sweat with red eyes. After Ye Chuan entered the seclusion cultivation, all the ordinary matters were handled by her. Supervising the cultivation of the disciples, handling their relationship with sea demon warriors, managing the consumption of foods, drinks and crystal stones on this boat and other matters were all her responsibility. Although these matters weren¡¯t big, they were cumbersome and exhausting. Usually, she was so busy that she didn¡¯t have time to cultivate in the daytime, thus she always cultivated throughout the night because she didn¡¯t want to increase the gap between Ye Chuan and herself, moreover, she didn¡¯t want to drag him down. But, tonight, she was too tired and had went to the bed to rest. It was a rare occasion. But, she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and her heartbeat accelerated. Then, without wasting the time to even wear a robe, she rushed over, worrying something might have happened to Ye Chuan. Sure enough, she just happened to see the sweaty and weak appearance of Ye Chuan. After leaving the holy land of Sea Demon Clan, Zhu Sijia had been worried, worried that that Octopus Talisman left within the body of Ye Chuan by Octopus Empress would do something bad to Ye Chuan. In this period of time, although she had said nothing, she however had been paying close attention to the movement in the room of Ye Chuan in secret. She was worried that something might happen during his cultivation session. Sure enough, she was right to worry. ¡°It has already passed, I am fine. That Octopus Empress has heaven-defying means, but her purpose is not to kill me, rather she wants me to help her to look for the fragments of Lost City. Jiajia, rest assured, I am fine.¡± Ye Chuan slowly exhaled a mouthful of chaotic qi and consoled worried Zhu Sijia. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, are you really fine?¡± Zhu Sijia was somewhat suspicious. She then sized up Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Then, after three days, wouldn¡¯t you be tortured again?¡± ¡°Yes, that Octopus Talisman will flare up once every three days, but as I said earlier, the purpose of that Octopus Empress is not to kill me, nor to affect my body and cultivation. The torment once every three days is just urging me to complete her task faster. Every time that talisman flares up, it is a little uncomfortable, but it will not harm my bones and meridians. I can just regard it as another kind of cultivation, and I just happened to need to hone my endurance.¡± Ye Chuan pretended to laugh as if there was no issue, then changed the subject of conversation, ¡°Jiajia, tell me, is Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia brought back by White Haired Heavenly Empress and suppressed under Heavenly Yao Peak never to see the sun again?¡± ¡°That¡­¡­, that seems to be the case, but I also don¡¯t know the concrete details. In the past, I sent someone to inquire about it, but the security of Heavenly Yao Sect was very tight, he was unable to enter, and he couldn¡¯t find any news outside.¡± Zhu Sijia stammered, paused for a bit and asked, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, how did you know?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about this, I naturally have a way to know.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t want to tell about the conversation he had with State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng in the Reincarnation World. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, do you really want to go to Heavenly Yao Sect to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia?¡± Zhu Sijia was anxious. The hidden danger left behind by Octopus Empress had yet to be resolved, but Ye Chuan still wanted to go to Heavenly Yao Sect, wasn¡¯t that like an egg hitting a stone? Without waiting for the answer of Ye Chuan, Zhu Sijia added, ¡°At that time, you also saw it, White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi is stronger than State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, moreover, Heavenly Yao Sect is so strong that it is known as the foremost sect under the heaven, even if you go, can you truly save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia?¡± ¡°I will consider carefully, Jiajia, I am tired now, I want to rest for a while, you can leave first.¡± Ye Chuan had already made the decision, thus he didn¡¯t argue with Zhu Sijia. He just closed his eyes and continued to cultivate. The eyes of Zhu Sijia became red. She knew the nature of Ye Chuan. Once he decided to do something, it was impossible to change his mind. He was angry and also sad. She didn¡¯t want Ye Chuan to risk his life for another woman. And thinking about the consequences of Ye Chuan alone breaking into Heavenly Yao Sect, she clenched her hands and rushed out. Chapter 577: Scheme The chaos was coming, but in many places, people were still singing and dancing. Along the way, the sea demon boat passed through many prosperous islands. Since they had enough supplies, the sea demon boat didn¡¯t stop and continued to sail towards the west. But, when passing through the sea area called the Black Sea, they encountered a sudden and violent storm, and they were swept several hundred li away. This caused them to lose direction and a lot of time. Only after no less than half a month, the sea demon boat finally reached the mainland. Upon seeing the distant coastline of Heavenly Fire Continent, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect cheered loudly. Practically everyone excitedly rushed to the deck. Even Ye Chuan who had been cultivating quietly in his room also walked out. This trip had taken almost twice as much time as he had expected, nearly half a year. It was also a very dangerous trip. Along the way, they encountered Ghost King Dusen, fought a fierce battle against Blacksnake Clan, encountered a large group of yao beasts and the army under Qing Tianhou¡­¡­, which one was not dangerous? As for the ancient grave worlds in the holy land of Sea Demon Clan, he didn¡¯t need to talk about it. Regardless of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect or sea demon warriors, both suffered heavy causalities, more than half of them were buried there forever. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, look!¡± Someone with sharp eyes pointed to the front. A dozen of li away, they could see a small fishing village called Earth Dragon Slope. At that time, the clansmen of Sea Demon Clan had stationed here and met With Ye Chuan. It was also here where Ye Chuan had taken advantage of the power of Sea Demon Clan to subdue Plague Archfiend Abasi, this powerful yao beast. At the side of Earth Dragon Slope, there was a long river that flowed into the vast sea. In the past, the river was not wide, at most was just 20 meters wide. But now, that river was more than 100 meters wide. From a small river, it had transformed into a great river, moreover, those countless reefs in the river course had also disappeared. Now, not to mention the sea demon boat, even a ten times bigger warship could also pass unimpeded. Standing on the deck and looking far away, one could see that this great river was divided into two. One was the original river course, which clearly wasn¡¯t that wide, just ten meters or so. As for the other, it was as wide as the great river, becoming the main river course. On both sides of this river course, one could clearly see the trace of artificial excavation, and it wound towards the direction of Cloud Mist Sect. It resembled a sparkling and glittering silk ribbon on a vast land. Nan Tiandu has succeeded! This was a grand canal that directly connects the sea and Cloud Mist Sect, a golden passage! The eyes of Ye Chuan shone as he recalled the instruction he had given to Nan Tiandu before he left. Originally, his requirement was low, excavate a canal to link up to the sea so as to make it easy for Sea Demon Clan to settle in Cloud Mist Sect and form a naval battle force within a year. But to his surprise, within half a year, returning from the sea, he was able to see such a passage. Nan Tiandu who had stayed behind in the sect had over-completed the task. It seemed he had spent a lot of effort to excavate this canal. The people standing on the deck were excited and cheered. The sea demon warriors were no exception. In this trip to their racial holy land, not only were they able to obtain their famous holy item Neptune Horn, Hai Lili was also selected as their new patriarch. This suggested that, from henceforth, Sea Demon Clan formally came under Ye Chuan. They would follow him to campaign all across the world. Sea Demon Clan couldn¡¯t do without water, so originally, clansmen were worried about where to settle hereafter as being too far away from Cloud Mist Sect would cause many inconveniences. But now, with this artificial great canal, Cloud Mist Sect could attack, retreat and guard, and Sea Demon Clan also had no worries! ¡°In just half a year, noble son Ye, your Cloud Mist Sect is truly powerful!¡± The old patriarch exclaimed in admiration. Like a dead camel was still bigger than a horse, although Cloud Mist Sect was declining, it was still a large sect and it had deep roots in Cloud Mist Mountain Range. With such a sect as a backer, now Sea Demon Clan had a fixed place where they could live at ease from now on, they no longer need to worry about wandering all around. ¡°This is nothing, the river is just 100 meters wide, in the future, after we grew in strength, we will widen it to at least ten thousand meters. This is not a route of retreat, rather a golden watercourse. It should be able to accommodate tens of thousands of merchant ships and also thousands of warships!¡± Ye Chuan was full of mettle as the blueprint in his mind became grander and grander. After millions of years, along with the decline of strength, Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s sphere of influence had shrunk critically, and all kinds of resources had also become fewer and fewer. Now, they basically could only rely on the sale of some pills for crystal stones that were most needed for the cultivation of disciples. They had hard up life. Perhaps, their cultivation was insufficient or they were unambitious and didn¡¯t have great vision, all previous Sect Masters just followed the rules inflexibly, guarding a tiny piece of land. Ye Chuan was different, after he became the disciple of Cloud Mist Sect after leaving God Burial Valley, he began to scheme the overall situation. How could Heaven Concealing Great Sage who once had dominated the entire Wilderness World be satisfied with a trifling tiny piece of land? The annexation of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect in Cloud Mist Mountain Range was only the first step. He wanted to control the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range first. The second step was to excavate a grand canal to directly connect Cloud Mist Sect to the vast sea, opening a golden waterway leading to the vast sea. Next, as long as they could form a strong naval army, it would be very hard for other forces to occupy the Cloud Mist Mountain range. Even if the army of Daqin Dynasty wants to deal with Cloud Mist Sect, countless soldiers have to lose their life first! And at the same time, with this golden waterway, the abundant resources of Cloud Mist Sect could be fully utilized, and it would be possible to build a large commercial kingdom at the foot of Cloud Mist Sect. Like that, Cloud Mist Sect would have a source of continuous fresh blood and all kinds of resources. ¡°Noble son Ye, tell me, what does our Sea Demon Clan need to do?¡± The old patriarch was also excited and took the initiative to ask. Now, the world domination scheme of Ye Cuan had just begun to unfold. It was the right time to render meritorious service, and with a large contribution, the status of Sea Demon Clan would naturally elevate in the future. If they waste time until Ye Chuan had already reached the pinnacle, then it would be too late to display their loyalty. Although this old man was old, he was very experienced. He would never miss a good opportunity to rejuvenate his clan. Making his granddaughter Hai Lili the new patriarch was a brilliant move from him. Now, he had firmly bound his clan on the chariot of Ye Chuan via Hai Lili. There was no second choice. ¡°At the present stage, settle at the foot of Cloud Mist Sect first and choose a harbor to make your home. Then, explore the circumstances of the surrounding waters for me. Where are rivers, where are swamps, where are underground rivers, where are water yao beasts and where are amphibian yao beasts, mark everything on a map.¡± Ye Chuan instructed. ¡°Noble son Ye, you want to gather water yao beasts to make a yao beast legion?¡± The old man recalled numerous yao beasts in the hands of Ye Chuan. Although he didn¡¯t know how Ye Chuan tamed Old Demon of Mount Yin, Diamond Ape King, Super Electric Eel and other yao beasts, if Ye Chuan formed an elite water beast legion, then that would be heaven-defying. In the entire four seas, who could stop such legion? ¡°Yes, we need talents of all trades and professions, we need experts who stand out from their fellows. But, comparatively speaking, I like yao beasts with all kinds of innate techniques more.¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan blaze like torches as he watched the distant vast mountain range. The huge sea demon boat slew the waves and sailed towards Cloud Mist Sect. Not far away, there were excited disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. They were impatient to spread the successful return of Ye Chuan. Chapter 578: All Heaven Sage Tiandu Sage Chapter 578: All Heaven Sage (Tiandu Sage) The sea demon boat sailed rapidly. In less than an hour, the grand Cloud Mist Sect appeared before the eyes of everyone. And at that time, melodious sounds of bells suddenly came from Cloud Mist Sect and reverberated throughout the surroundings. After the melodious sounds of bells, powerful sounds of drums resounded, then sounds of bells, then sounds of drums again¡­¡­ for nine times. After that, the sounds paused for a while, then resounded again. This repeated for nine-nine eighty-one times. This was the welcome ceremony of Cloud Mist Sect for the Sect Master! On the sea demon boat, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were shocked, and soon after that, they came back to their senses and knelt down behind Ye Chuan. Sea demon warriors also didn¡¯t dare to keep standing and knelt down. At that time, sword lights flashed in the distance as a group of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples stepped on their flying swords and flew out from the restriction of the sect¡¯s entrance. Then, then neatly arranged a sword formation on the edge of the grand canal to welcome Ye Chuan. ¡°We pay respect to Big Senior Apprentice Brother!¡± ¡°We respectfully welcome Big Senior Apprentice Brother!¡± More than a thousand disciples of Cloud Mist Sect loudly greeted in unison. In the past six months, Nan Tiandu had not only built a grand canal, he seemed to have also recruited many young disciples. There were some young disciples whose cultivation was not high, but they were full of vigor and enthusiasm. They were also calm and confident. Even many experts didn¡¯t have such spirit. They were the fresh blood injected into Cloud Mist Sect! Not waiting for the sea demon boat to reach ashore, Ye Chuan jumped off and floated in midair. He then looked at more than one thousand disciples of Cloud Mist Sect that had rushed out to welcome him and uttered a long, loud roar while releasing his powerful energy fluctuation. In his previous life, he had suffered all kinds of tribulations by himself and finally become Heaven Swallowing Great Sage who could summon wind and rain. In this life, he had a high ancient sect, had many elite disciples and followers, was there any reason to not achieve greater glory? Looking at the large sword formation arranged by the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan was also excited and fired up. His roar unexpectedly overshadowed the sounds of bells and drums for a moment. Naturally, he however had used a technique he mastered in his previous life, Demon God¡¯s Roar. His momentum was also monstrous. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, so¡­ powerful¡­¡­¡± All the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect cheered loudly. In the eyes of young disciples, Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice Brother, was a legend. In just a few years, from a trash with mediocre cultivation who was even inferior to ordinary disciples, he became the pillar of Cloud Mist Sect and led disciples to create miracles. He went to the peerless sect, Heavenly Yao Sect, and successfully borrow their peerless treasure, Heaven Burning Furnace, suppressed internal strife, became most outstanding disciple in martial arts competition of three big sects, led disciples to repel 200,000 disciples of Daqin Dynasty, annexed both Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect¡­¡­, which of these events weren¡¯t extremely inspiring? Cloud Mist Sect that originally was declining rapidly and even was nearly destroyed, under the leadership of Ye Chuan, became strong and even showed the shine of reviving. In the eyes of people, Ye Chuan who repeatedly turned the tides and created miracles was the pillar and model of everyone. His legends also inspired young disciples to work hard. Especially, for the new disciples of Cloud Mist Sect who had not seen Ye Chuan, he was a legend and they greatly admired him. Not a Sect Master, but better than the Sect Master! Ye Chuan had not officially taken the position of Sect Master, but in the hearts of the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, his prestige was far above the Sect Master. Since the founding of Cloud Mist Sect, there had never been a younger generation disciple who had such status and prestige. It had never happened before and will also not happen in the future! Being able to live in the same generation as Ye Chuan, as the young disciples of this generation, they were very fortunate. They were destined to follow Ye Chuan and become the great expert that would leave behind their name in the history of Cloud Mist Sect. Perhaps, millions of years later, they would also similarly become the legend in the eyes of the later generations! Ye Chuan who was returned from far away was greatly welcomed by the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect! ¡°Hahaha, brother Ye Chuan, you finally returned!¡± Along with a sound of laughter, a figure flew over stepping on a flying sword. ¡°Brother Tiandu!¡± Ye Chuan descended on the ground and stood together with this most outstanding younger generation disciple of Cloud Mist Sect. And in happiness, Nan Tiandu welcomed Ye Chuan with a punch, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, if you hadn¡¯t come back for a few more days, then this brother would have been unable to endure, and sent disciples to look for you. At that time, in such a big Cloud Mist Sect, I would be a person in utter isolation.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will not let you become lonely, for the happiness of brother, I will give you an imperial concubine to marry, hahaha!¡± Ye Chuan laughed heartily and rubbed his chest. This punch of Nan Tiandu was powerful. If ordinary disciple was in his place, then this punch might have sent him flying. ¡°Hahaha, that imperial concubine should also be a dragon lady, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, where will you find her?¡± Nan Tiandu laughed heartily. At the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, after he fused with Evil Dragon Meng Ao, he was already no longer former Nan Tiandu. Therefore, ordinary women would never enter his eyes. Now, he was even more indifferent and proud, only in front of Ye Chuan, he showed the casual and unrestrained side. ¡°A dragon lady, no problem, leave it to me, let alone one, even ten are not a problem, for you brother, I will search around the world and abduct all princesses of Dragon Kings.¡± Ye Chuan laughed. Then, he sized up Nan Tiandu while rubbing his chest, ¡°Tiandu, what is your current cultivation realm? Peak Daoist Master realm? No, you¡­, have you broken through to Half Sage realm?¡± After carefully sizing up Nan Tiandu and sensing his energy fluctuation, Ye Chuan was greatly surprised, soon after that, he was excited. Half a year ago, when he left Cloud Mist Sect, although the cultivation of Nan Tiandu had advanced greatly after fusing with the evil dragon, he was still in Daoist Master realm, his strength wasn¡¯t too heaven-defying. Now however, in less than six months, he had actually broken through to Half Sage realm, how did he cultivate? The energy fluctuation of Nan Tiandu was somewhat obscure. He was clearly restraining it, but Ye Chuan could clearly felt that his energy fluctuation was superior to Plague Archfiend Abasi and even Diamond Ape King. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, do you recall that cyan robed Seventh Elder who occasionally appeared in the rear mountain? I have already worshipped him as my Master. Then, I comprehend a unique technique. This is my real form, Soaring Heaven Draconic Mouse!¡± Nan Tiandu spoke while releasing his power. Then, using a technique, a huge and ferocious yao beast phantom appeared behind him. It resembled a dragon but not a dragon, mouse but not a mouse. His momentum exceeded White Dragon Sage¡¯s white dragon form. In front of others, Nan Tiandu wouldn¡¯t even speak half a word, but in front of Ye Chuan, he wouldn¡¯t conceal anything. This phantom called Soaring Heaven Draconic Mouse was much more powerful than that evil dragon at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss! The heart of Ye Chuan shook as he sensed how powerful this form of Nan Tiandu was. On the sea dragon boat, the complexion of Plague Archfiend Abasi and Diamond Ape King who similarly were Half Sage realm changed. Even though they were more than 100 meters away, they still felt heavy pressure. Chapter 579: Changes The return of Ye Chuan made the entire Cloud Mist Sect filled with happiness. That evening, the disciples who had been cultivating painstakingly convened a rare celebration, and the elite disciples who had returned with Ye Chuan became heroes in the eyes of young disciples. When the young disciples were celebrating, in the Cloud Mist Hall, Ye Chuan however had gathered the higher-ups and core disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and discussed three main issues. The first issue was to recruit talents from all over the world and pass down all kinds of merit laws. Although Cloud Mist Sect was declining, its inheritance was very long. It had a huge collection of different grades merit laws and techniques. Even compared to Heavenly Yao Sect that claimed to be the first under heaven sect, it was by no means inferior. The second issue was to build a new city, Cloud Mist City, on the bank of the grand canal at the foot of Cloud Mist Sect, then think of a way to attract large numbers of merchants and people to fully utilize the rich resources of Cloud Mist Mountain Range. In addition, he wanted to strengthen the relation with Overseas World by taking advantage of this grand canal and strive to make Cloud Mist City the largest port city for the trade between mainland and Overseas World. The third issue was building a Secret Hall within Cloud Mist Sect. It would be responsible for refining weapons that could be used by common soldiers of the secular world, and also the espionage of the circumstances of all forces of the mainland. These three directions of Ye Chuan shocked the higher-ups and core disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. Soon after that, they engaged in heated arguments. The first issue triggered fierce opposition. The older generation of Cloud Mist Sect including numerous deacons stood on the side of opposition in succession. The reason was also very simple. Since Cloud Mist Sect was declining, they couldn¡¯t afford to cultivate so many people. Now, just supporting more than a thousand disciples was already tight enough, they were barely able to provide low-grade crystal stones to all of them, in such a time, a major expansion was impossible, not to mention whether they could find so many talented youths. Even if they found many talented youths, without enough resources, how could they cultivate them? Ever since ancient times, there was a saying among the people, the poor should study liberal arts, only rich can learn martial arts. Studying liberal arts was not only for the future and survival, it was also the most labor-saving choice. But, learning martial arts was different, one needed to spend a large amount of time and one should also have ample wealth. Cultivation was also the same with even bigger consumption. The path of cultivation was the path that continuously consumed all kinds of resources. All the fights and conflict between sects boiled down to the fight for all kinds of resources. Both Cloud Mist Sect and Heavenly Yao Sect similarly had a long inheritance, but now, why was one so low and the other so high? It was because the resources controlled by these two sects were very far from each other. Heavenly Yao Sect was rich in resources and it controlled a large number of mineral veins, naturally, they could train geniuses from generation to generation. On the contrary, Cloud Mist Sect not only lost the territories outside Cloud Mist Mountain range, Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect even invaded and occupied a part of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, this native place of Cloud Mist Sect. It would be a surprise if Cloud Mist Sect didn¡¯t decline. ¡°In the depths of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, there are many crystal stone mines that are not excavated yet. We can fully utilize them. As a matter of fact, we just need to open Martial Repository Pavilion and Weaponry Pavilion and give cultivation techniques and weapons to disciples, then they can go by themselves to search for resources in Cloud Mist Mountain Range.¡± In the face of the oppositions from the older generation, Ye Chuan slowly said. Ye Chuan was calm and indifferent as if he wasn¡¯t speaking about anything important. But, under the platform, the eyes of younger generation disciples shone, and Old Demon of Mount Yin who was sitting in this meeting also laughed heartily. The complexion of older generation however changed greatly and didn¡¯t dare to utter a sound. These words of Ye Chuan were domineering, direct and ferocious. The older generation felt a chill run down their spine. Among sects, ever since ancient times, there were open strife and veiled struggles for various resources, but, in this respect, the righteous sects were secretive. They obviously wanted to contend for mineral veins, but before they make a move, they would look for a righteous pretext to send their troops, where would they be so direct like Ye Chuan? If disciples were cultivated like this, then they might not cultivate elite disciples, rather great devils. The older generation disciples shouted in their heart, but upon seeing Ye Chuan had already decided, no one dared to say anything. If they advanced like his plan, then Cloud Mist Sect would be able to support a large number of talented disciples, but the cultivated disciples would definitely be fierce as a tiger. If they are not fierce enough, then they would die in the process of seizing crystal stones and other resources or be eliminated. Advancing widely and strict, the survival of the fittest, Ye Chuan determined the future guiding principle of Cloud Mist Sect. There was no way out, in troubled times, one should strictly govern, otherwise, the consequence would be the bad end. Naturally, there would be certain compensation to those eliminated disciples. They could learn how to grow medicinal herbs and refine medicinal pills. They were also pretty good paths. Since the opposition of the first issue was ineffective, the opposition of the second issue was even weaker. Building a new city at the foot of Cloud Mist Sect was to attract a large number of people, which in turn will attract a large number of merchants to do business. Among the sects, only Cloud Mist Sect would be doing so. Ever since ancient times, cultivation sects bragged to be aloof and refined. They paid no attention to secular matters and considered themselves a cut above other people. Even if they wanted to plunder resources and benefits from the secular world, they would be very secretive. They always tried to be as far away as possible from the secular world so as to avoid getting stained with so-called vulgarity. Ye Chuan however was different, now, he actually wanted to take the initiative to do business with the secular world, wasn¡¯t this throwing away their sect¡¯s face? Wouldn¡¯t other sects laugh their head off? The older generation disciples continued to groan in their heart. They wanted to loudly oppose this issue which would make Cloud Mist Sect lose face altogether, but, would Ye Chuan care? Clearly, Ye Chuan wanted the real benefits, not some fake and useless face. When the entire world fell into chaos, would that so-called face save their life? Obviously not. Since they weren¡¯t able to oppose the first two issues, no need to mention about the third issue. The older generation disciples groaned, but no one among them was willing to take charge of this so-called Secret Hall. Ye Chuan was also not planning to let these so-called veterans take on these heavy responsibly, he directly assigned Zhu Sijia to take up the post of Hall Master of Secret Hall, and Nan Tiandu would continue to lead the overall situation. The three major issues were quickly published. The older generation disciples disagreed in their heart, and in the back, they said that this was destroying the ancient system. Unfortunately, their opposition was ineffective. The current Ye Chuan was not the past Big Senior Apprentice Brother who was ignored by everyone, he was unprecedented Big Senior Apprentice Brother whose prestige surpassed the Sect Master. He was inviolable existence for the younger generation disciples. Thus, even though the old fellows disagreed, numerous younger generation disciples supported Ye Chuan and quickly carried out the orders of Ye Chuan. After issuing these three matters, Ye Chuan entered seclusion cultivation session, preparing to rush over to Heavenly Yao Sect. Outside, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were unable to remain calm for a long time. Regardless of older generation disciples who opposed in their heart or the younger generation disciples who were full of youthful spirit, they smell the great changes that would be brought by these three issues. Among these three major issues, which one wouldn¡¯t bring about heaven-shaking changes in Cloud Mist Sect? If one was unable to adapt to this change, then one would be pushed to the edge of Cloud Mist Sect or even eliminated. Only those who were able to adapt to these changes would have a promising future and reach the sky in a single bound. Wilderness World was about to fall in chaos, but before this chaos, Cloud Mist Sect fell into chaos first. Ye Chuan took the initiative to make the move to cause chaos in Cloud Mist Sect. Without a fundamental change, how can declining Cloud Mist Sect become powerful again? To adapt to this strong eats the weak world and survive the upcoming calamity, one must take the initiative to strengthen oneself first. The so-called old concept of meeting all changes by remaining unchanged was just waiting for death! Chapter 580: Worldly Prison Cage When the entire Cloud Mist Sect was busty bustling about, Ye Chuan had entered seclusion. However, he didn¡¯t cultivate, rather personally refined some simple and practical tools first, such as, a tough and tensile robe, a pair of special boots that resisted lightning, a bottle of poisonous pills that could instantly make people tear up, a few antidotes¡­¡­ Ye Chuan had already made up his mind to break into Heavenly Yao Sect, but he didn¡¯t rashly rush over, rather calmly made careful preparations. In his previous life, he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage. He could summon wind and rain. He had extraordinary mastery over refining pills and weapons. But, he didn¡¯t have time to refine powerful treasures, so he carefully prepared some tools. Perhaps, these tools might play a vital role in some critical moments. Since the cultivation of White Haired Heavenly Empress was heaven-defying, it was impossible to defeat her in a frontal battle. If he wanted to intrude Heavenly Yao Sect and rescue Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, then he must use extraordinary means. After two days, the Cyan Lotus Space was filled with many weird tools. Ye Chuan finally stopped and took a breather. Now, his mind was longer in Cloud Mist Sect, he was dying to go to Heavenly Yao Sect to rescue Hong Zixia, but he still forcibly suppressed the thoughts of immediately rushing over and waited patiently. He was not wanting to breakthrough his bottleneck, rather waiting for the Octopus Talisman to flare up. Once every three days, Octopus Talisman would flare-up. Ye Chuan wanted to pass it first so that he could go to Heavenly Yao Sect in his best state. Late at night, the Octopus Talisman flared up on schedule. Ye Chuan was fully prepared, but very soon, he was unable to endure and curled up while trembling. This time, the situation was different again. His bones were itchy as if countless ants were crawling, but the skin outside was burning and aching, It was even more painful than thousands of blade cutting him. Ah! Feeling uncomfortable to the extreme, inhuman sound escaped from the throat of Ye Chuan, and behind him, an octopus phantom that was baring fangs and brandishing claws appeared. The blood and qi within his body were in chaos and he felt like his entire body was twisting as if he would about to transform into an octopus, becoming the puppet of the Octopus Empress. ¡°Old witch, one day, I will repay you!¡± Ye Chuan gasped for breath, and when the pain reached his endurance limit and his body was about to collapse, he forcibly supported himself and sat cross-legged, then he chanted heart law to preserve, enduring the pain quietly. He could sense the uncomfortable feeling was coming in waves like the sea tide, and each wave was more painful than the previous wave, lashing his endurance limit again and again. This was another kind of cultivation. Since he was doomed to experience such pain, enduring them, his mental state would reach a higher level! Ye Chuan quietly encouraged himself and forcibly endured the inhuman pain. The short period of half an hour felt like five hundred years. When the pain finally simmered down and the effect of Octopus Talisman disappeared, Ye Chuan was finally unable to support himself and collapsed on the ground. His entire body was drench with sweat and he didn¡¯t have any strength to even lift his finger. After a long time, Ye Chuan sat cross-legged again and began to quietly cultivate and recover slowly. This night, no one approached the room of Ye Chuan. Little Long¡¯er who had frequently come over to deliver various materials in these past two days couldn¡¯t be seen anywhere. It seemed that he was worried about disturbing the cultivation of Ye Chuan. Even Zhu Sijia who clearly knew that Ye Chuan would suffer the torment of Octopus Talisman tonight was also nowhere to be seen as if she knew that she wouldn¡¯t be able to help Ye Chuan in any way and she didn¡¯t want to see the suffering appearance of Ye Chuan. After cultivating for a night, Ye Chuan was full of vigor, and when the sound of bells rang for the first time today, he examined his luggage and set out, preparing to quietly leave early in the morning by himself. But, just after he opened the door, Ye Chuan was greatly surprised. He didn¡¯t know where but the entire house was surrounded by thick pillars, and these pillars were joined together to form a huge cage. The gap between these pillars was so small that even a child would not be able to squeeze out from them. Who is so bold to imprison me here? Also, who has such ability to quietly accomplish this in the space of a night? Ye Chuan found it hard to believe and wondered if he was dreaming or was seeing an illusion. But soon, he came back to his senses and punched the pillar, wanting to forcibly break out of this cage. The result, even though he had used fifty percent of his power, the pillar was absolutely still and there was light floating around these icy, hard and sparkling pillars. He couldn¡¯t comprehend what materials were used to forge these pillars. As for the air, he could sense a restriction ripple. This was not a simple cage, rather an extremely powerful restriction! Ye Chuan carefully observed it and his complexion became more and more solemn. Even though he was very knowledgeable, he actually had never seen this kind of restriction, what¡¯s more, he had also never heard of it. Roar! Ye Chuan roared. He didn¡¯t believe that he wouldn¡¯t be able to break out of this cage. He crazily circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and punch the pillar, but it was absolutely still, he was unable to even create a scratch. The eyes of Ye Chuan shone with pallid light and used all his powers to attack again. But, the pillar in front of him didn¡¯t budge at all. Not to mention breaking it, he was not even able to scratch it. Even after using the strength of all twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans, he was unable to break it. Ye Chuan turned pale with fright. He was shocked and also angry. But, he took a deep breath and calmed down. He then jumped towards the roof. Since he was trapped in four walls, then he would go up! Boom! Ye Chuan collided against the roof with his head. After circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans, his head was harder than iron and steel. The woods and tiles were unable to stop him. But in the next moment, he felt pain in his head and was rebounded on the ground. Then, looking up, he saw that the air was also sealed off by incomparably hard pillars. Since he couldn¡¯t get out of the air, then what about the underground? Ye Chuan made a prompt decision, and using a technique, a tentacle-shaped whip appeared behind him, wanting to dig an underground tunnel to rush out. But soon, he was disappointed, the underground way was also sealed off by pillars. Half a meter underground, there were hard pillars. These strange pillars formed a solid cage. There was nowhere to escape. It was impossible to break out using a brute force. Even his Unparalleled Style Technique was useless in his unfathomable restriction. In this cage, he was unable to use many of his techniques, even his cultivation base was vaguely sealed. Who laid out such a terrifying restriction? Ye Chuan gave up all hope and roared angrily. He then rushed over and slammed against the cage. ¡°Release me, let me out!¡± ¡°Jiajia, Xiaoniao¡­¡­, Little Long¡¯er¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan shouted while colliding. But, it was very quiet around and there was no response. There was not even the shadow of Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and Little Long¡¯er. He also couldn¡¯t see Old Demon of Mount Yin and others. The entire Cloud Mist Sect seemed to have become a ghost town or a super expert had sneaked in and killed everyone except Ye Chuan in a night. Chapter 581: You cannot understand my sadness Bang, bang, bang¡­.. Ye Chuan crazily rammed repeatedly against the cage. His head was already dripping with blood and he had already shouted hoarse. But, it was still silent around and there was not even a shadow. I want to go out! I want to go to Heavenly Yao Sect to save Zixia! The eyes of Ye Chuan were red as he continuously rammed against the cage. Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain. Even after using all his strength, he was unable to break out of this strange cage, or to say, this strange restriction. During the trip to the seas, his cultivation had made rapid progress, reaching peak Daoist Master realm. Now, he could sweep through all Daoist Master realm experts. Compared to ordinary cultivators, his cultivation speed was very fast. But, for Ye Chuan, it was still not enough. If he was still Heaven Concealing Great Sage of his past life, then he could have easily broken this kind of restriction. But now, he was trapped, wouldn¡¯t even be able to scratch it. Thinking about Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was suppressed below Heavenly Yao Peak never to see the sun again, Ye Chuan was burning with impatient. In addition, now, he was worried that something might have happened to Cloud Mist Sect, so he didn¡¯t give up even though he was already dripping with blood. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, stop.¡± After a long time, a voice suddenly came and Zhu Sijia walked over with a basket. She then uncovered a cloth, and steaming hot meals could be seen inside the basket. Now, several hours had already passed, it was already noon. Upon seeing Ye Chuan was not stopping even though he was already bleeding profusely, tears streamed down her cheeks. ¡°Jiajia, you came at the right time, release me, quick, release¡­¡­¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan shone with happiness, and looking at Zhu Sijia who had suddenly appeared, he hastily spoke, but before he finished speaking, his heart suddenly sank. Zhu Sijia was completely fine, moreover, she was bringing him a launch, what does this mean? Ye Chuan quickly thought and suddenly understand everything. He then looked at Zhu Sijia and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Jiajia, did you¡­ trap me here?¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­, have a meal.¡± Zhu Sijia didn¡¯t know what to say, so she silently placed the basket on the ground. ¡°Tell me, why?¡± Ye Chuan tightly clasped his hands and forcibly suppressed his anger. But, at the same time, he felt tingling pain in his heart. She clearly knew that he wanted to go to Heavenly Yao Sect to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, but never in million years had he expected that Zhu Sijia would imprison him here. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, this is your favorite food, braised eggplant, it will get cold if you don¡¯t eat it now.¡± Zhu Sijia still didn¡¯t answer and held a bowl of meal in front of Ye Chuan. In the basket, although there were not many kinds of dishes, only three kinds, all of them were the dishes Ye Chuan usually liked. Just smelling a fragrant smell, one could tell that Zhu Sijia had spent a lot of effort to prepare this meal. In the past, she used to be a princess who only knew how to play to her heart¡¯s content, make pills and cultivate. She had never went to the kitchen, but now, no one knew when, she had started to learn cooking for Ye Chuan. ¡°These dishes looked pretty good, merely, I fear there is poison, you can leave.¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at Zhu Sijia, and suddenly, he felt unwell in his heart and didn¡¯t want to speak at all. He was very disappointed. In his eyes, Zhu Sijia used to be a unique and extraordinary girl. Although she was daring and unruly, she also properly handled matters and was energetic, full of youthful spirit. Unlike delicate endearing little bird Tuoba Xiaoniao, she had a different personality. She was independent and strong in front of outsiders, but was shy and bashful in front of his teasing, that was to his liking. Since he knew that no one was perfect, he could accommodate some of her shortcomings as he liked her. But, for her selfish motives, she actually imprisoned him here. This was taking too far, absolutely was something Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t tolerate. Zhu Sijia suddenly stood stiff and still holding the steaming hot meal, tears quietly flowed down her cheeks. ¡°Let Zixia be suppressed under Heavenly Yao Peak forever, it would be best if she died below Heavenly Yao Peak, then you will be satisfied, won¡¯t you?¡± Ye Chuan sneered. In the past, when he saw tears of Zhu Sijia, tender affection would appear in his heart, but now, he was disgusted. As the forefathers said the most poisonous thing in this world is women¡¯s heart. As a matter of fact, in his previous life, he personally experienced this, and thought that he wouldn¡¯t fall in love with any woman in this life. But later, after encountered lively Zhu Sijia, he unconsciously opened his heart. The result, he experienced that kind of pain again. The deeper you love, the greater the pain. ¡°No, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, no¡­¡­¡± Tears continuously streamed down her cheeks as she shook her head, but upon seeing badly bruised Ye Chuan, she was unable to explain herself. ¡°It turned out you will still be dissatisfied even if Zixia die under the Heavenly Yao Peak, does that mean, you want her to live a life where the death is better than life?¡± Ye Chuan sneered. Looking at the tearful appearance of Zhu Sijia, his heart was moved, but he intentionally spoke the words that were difficult to hear, wanting to make her speak the truth. Zhu Sijia might truly be selfish. She was unwilling to let him have a contact with Hong Zixia, and at the same time, she also didn¡¯t want me to go to Heavenly Yao Sect to take risks. She had both private and public motivation to imprison him here. But, it was impossible to imprison him here by herself. She alone didn¡¯t have the ability to lay out this restriction. Someone else must be helping her from behind. Did Great Elder Zhu Guohong return? Or, did Zhu Sijia persuade Second Elder Nangong Ren? Or, did she request a great expert proficient in restriction? Or, did she use a peerless treasure? Ye Chuan was full of doubts. Even if he couldn¡¯t get out, he must learn the truth at the least. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, no¡­¡­¡± The eyes of Zhu Sijia were red and blurred with tears. Now, she looked completely different from former calm and bold self. But, no matter how Ye Chuan bullied and interrogated her, she didn¡¯t speak. Along with heavy footsteps, a figure walked over. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, don¡¯t force Jiajia, this Worldly Prison Cage is a restriction I arranged, it has nothing to do with her.¡± Nan Tiandu also walked over and stopped in front of Ye Chuan. ¡°Good, good, what a good Worldly Prison Cage! Brother Tiandu, no, I should call you All Heaven Sage, we haven¡¯t seen each other for some time, but now I have to look at you with new eyes, you truly have a good skill, hahahahaha¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan laughed heartily, soon after that, his complexion turned cold and said, ¡°Tell me, why?¡± ¡°Simple, you are the Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, is our Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s present and future hope, we cannot let you go to Heavenly Yao Sect to court death in vain.¡± Nan Tiandu replied. Looking at blood-stained appearance of Ye Chuan, he looked somewhat guilty, but he didn¡¯t regret at all. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I know the feeling between you and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia isn¡¯t ordinary, but, for a woman, you are going to court death in vain, leaving behind your close relatives, lover, brothers and the entire Cloud Mist Sect, do you think it is good?¡± ¡°Brother Tiandu, have you ever like a woman?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°No.¡± Nan Tiandu subconsciously answered, and just when he wanted to add something, Ye Chuan interrupted. ¡°Then, you don¡¯t understand, when you deeply love a woman, then you will understand. At that time, you will also become crazy and risk your life to look for her.¡± Ye Chuan faintly said. Now, he had no doubt in his heart. This restriction called Worldly Prison Cage was very powerful. In the entire Cloud Mist Sect, only Nan Tiandu had the ability to quietly arrange this restriction. Chapter 582: How can I save you? ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, even if you say I can¡¯t understand you, I know one thing for sure, I must not let you go to court death.¡± Nan Tiandu remained unmoved and was determined to trap Ye Chuan here in Cloud Mist Sect. Along with messy footsteps, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Little Long¡¯er, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others rushed over. But, all of them looked ashamed and didn¡¯t dare to look straight at Ye Chuan. Especially Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Diamond Ape King, they kept their head lowered. Heavenly Yao Sect was known as the number one sect. Not to mention the cultivation of White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi was exceedingly high, the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect were also no small matter. Not to mention peak Daoist Master realm experts, no one knew how many Half Sage realm expert they had. According to rumors, there were tens of great elders living in seclusion for thousands of years, and all of them were very powerful seniors. Some were even more powerful than White Haired Heavenly Empress. Unless the sect met with its existential crisis, they wouldn¡¯t easily come out. Ye Chuan was very powerful. In terms of cultivation, he was outstanding, he could easily sweep away Daoist Master realm. In terms of planning and courage, he was too superior to bear comparison and was the pillar of Cloud Mist Sect. But, no matter how powerful he was, he was still a young disciple. He had just broken through to Peak Daoist Master realm. If he rushed to Heavenly Yao Sect by himself, then how was it any different from courting death? Old Demon of Mount Yin and others also wanted to stop suborn Ye Chuan, merely, because of their status, no one dared to object Ye Chuan and they were forced to pin their hopes on other people. Little Long¡¯er, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others were also the same, they were very worried but were powerless to dissuade Ye Chuan. Just Nan Tiandu dared to step forward bravely. They were similarly brothers of Ye Chuan, but White Dragon Sage and Nan Tiandu had completely different character. After White Dragon Sage learned that Ye Chuan had already made up his mind, he didn¡¯t forcibly stop him, rather give Ye Chuan his most valuable treasure, Dragon Vein Crystal, hoping it would help him. Nan Tiandu, on the other hand, used a different method. He took advantage of the time when Ye Chuan was immersed in cultivation to use his technique to directly trap Ye Chuan. ¡°Nan Tiandu, if you truly consider me as a brother, then let me go!¡± The voice of Ye Chuan was hoarse and he looked at Nan Tiandu without blinking. ¡°Because I consider you as a brother, I cannot let you go!¡± Nan Tiandu shook his head and looked straight at Ye Chuan without any intention to compromise. He then said, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you can set your mind at rest and cultivate in this Worldly Prison Cage. Leave all the matter of Cloud Mist Sect to me and Zhu Sijia. When you breakthrough to half Sage realm, you can easily break this restriction and come out. At that time, regardless of punishing me or immediately rushing to Heavenly Yao Sect, no one will or can block you.¡± Nan Tiandu stood straight. He was bold and resolute when handling affairs. He wanted to trap Ye Chuan here until he broke through to Half Sage realm. This was putting Ye Chuan under house arrest and also another type of protection. He would rather bear the infamy and hatred of Ye Chuan, but he would see this matter through to the end. He didn¡¯t want to watch Ye Chuan courting death in vain. The complexion of Ye Chuan became colder and colder, and his energy fluctuation also rose sharply. In addition, a hint of killing intent began to ripple in the air. He understood the good intention of Nan Tiandu in his heart, but, breaking through to Half Sage realm was easier said than done. How many years should he spend? Ten years, one hundred years, or a thousand year? He had time but what about Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia?How long could she survive being suppressed below Heavenly Yao Peak? Thinking about Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who might be calling him continuously in complete darkness, and bitterly waiting for him to save her, the eyes of Ye Chuan gradually became red and roared in anger. He wanted to go to Heavenly Yao Sect to save her, he didn¡¯t have a moment to waste! If Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia died due to torment, then he would regret for his lifetime. At that time, who would accompany him to go back to Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm? Who would accompany him for pair cultivation? Who would accompany him to explore Outer World? Thinking of the days he spent together with Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, recalling her voice as well as the promise he made to her, the heart of Ye Chuan bled. Thus, although he knew the good intention of Nan Tiandu, he couldn¡¯t help getting angry. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I know you hate me, but even if you kill me after you break out of this restriction, I will not regret this!¡± Nan Tiandu felt heartache. Seeing the pained and furious expression of Ye Chuan, he found it hard to endure, but he still didn¡¯t make any compromise. Ye Chuan was bold and courageous, but he was also the same. Because of such character, they could sympathize with one another, otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have become loyal brothers from fellow disciples. At this moment, Ye Chuan was hell-bent on going to Heavenly Yao Sect and Nan Tiandu was hell-bent on not letting Ye Chuan court death in vain. Both of them didn¡¯t compromise and would also not regret their decision. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you cannot blame Tiandu, if you want to blame someone, you should blame me. It¡¯s me who took the initiative to look for Tiandu, explain the circumstances and ask him to make a move.¡± Seeing Nan Tiandu and Ye Chuan were about to fall out, Zhu Sijia stood straight, looked at red-eyed Ye Chuan and said as tears stream down her cheeks, ¡°Last night, when the Octopus Talisman within your body flared up, I had seen it from far away, then, I went to look for Tiandu, explained the situation and asked him to make a move. Big Senior Apprentice Brother, our Cloud Mist Sect cannot do without you, and I also cannot do without you. After my grandfather went to the capital, he never returned and there is also no news from him. No matter how I inquired, I found no news of him. If you also die in Heavenly Yao Sect, then what should I do?¡± Zhu Sijia was full of tears. In front of other people, she was energetic and dignified Miss of Cloud Mist Sect, when had she ever shed tears in front of outsiders? On the contrary, when the sect was threatened, she stepped forward bravely to fight. But now, she cared about nothing and cried. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, think carefully!¡± ¡°Your Excellency¡­¡­¡± The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect present on the scene kneeled simultaneously. Crying Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Little Long¡¯er and others were also the same. They hoped that Ye Chuan would stay and not take such a great risk. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Diamond Ape King and others who originally were lowering their head also knelt down. Heavenly Yao Sect honestly was too powerful. No one was optimistic about Ye Chuan¡¯s action. Not to mention Ye Chuan acting alone, even if the entire Cloud Mist Sect went out in full strength, they feared that Heavenly Yao Sect would crush them. The present was different from the past, Heavenly Yao Sect was already no longer that Heavenly Yao Sect of the past, and it was no longer a small sect that followed behind Cloud Mist Sect. Cloud Mist Sect was also no longer Cloud Mist Sect of the past, from the giant sect of Wilderness World, it had declined to a third-rate sect. The strength and position of these two sects had completely reversed. Ye Chuan remained silent and his complexion was still cold, but his killing intent slowly dissipated. On one side, there were fellow disciples, brothers and followers begging bitterly, on the other side, there was his lover who was suppressed below a peak never to see the sun again waiting for his rescue, what should he do? What should he choose? At this moment, always calm and resolute Ye Chuan who had experienced countless waves in his past life was also in a mess. He felt like his head was going to explode. He was furious but he couldn¡¯t vent it, thus, he looked up and roared in sadness and also anger as tears of blood flowed down his eyes. Beloved, how can I save you? In the heart of Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan missed Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia like never before. Just thinking about her current plight, he became sad from the bottom of his heart! Chapter 583: A decisive battle ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Nan Tiandu exclaimed. Upon seeing Ye Chuan was shedding the tears of blood, his heart shook, and his firm decision to stop Ye Chuan was finally shaken. He didn¡¯t know whether stopping Ye Chuan like this was helping Ye Chuan or hurting him. He didn¡¯t understand the emotion and madness between men and women. He had yet to experience the feeling of heartbreak, but now, he could feel the pain of Ye Chuan. ¡°Let me out!¡± Ye Chuan looked at Nan Tiandu and roared. ¡°No, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I can¡¯t watch you go to die in vain!¡± Nan Tiandu was further shaken and didn¡¯t dare to look straight at Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes. But, he still didn¡¯t compromise and persisted to not let Ye Chuan take such a great risk. Taking advantage of the time when Ye Chuan had entered the deep cultivation state after the Octopus Talisman within him flared up, he was able to arrange Worldly Prison Cage and trap Ye Chuan. If he easily let Ye Chuan out, then it would be very hard to stop him from going to Heavenly Yao Sect. Although the heart of Nan Tiandu was shaken, but after thinking for a bit, he persisted in his decision. ¡°Nan Tiandu, let me out, and we will have a fight. If I lose, you all don¡¯t need to do anything, I will enter seclusion by myself and never come out before I breakthrough to Half Sage realm; but if I win, you all should withdraw and let me go to Heavenly Yao Sect.¡± Ye Chuan glared straight at Nan Tiandu outside the Worldly Prison Cage.His eyes burned like a torch and there was anger, unwillingness and also a hint of madness. This made people worry that he will truly go insane if this goes on! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, your cultivation is outstanding, and you have been the best disciple of Cloud Mist Sect in my eyes. But, this brother was fortunate enough to make great progress in my cultivation. You should know that, now, I have already broken through to half Sage realm. Although Big Senior Apprentice Brother is a genius in the aspect of strategy that couldn¡¯t be encountered even in tens of thousands of years, in the aspect of battle power, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, current you cannot defeat me.¡± Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t accept the challenge and after pausing for a while, he added, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you can cultivate at ease, in the future when you broke through to Half Sage realm and broke out of this Worldly Prison Cage, this brother will accompany you to fight for three days and three nights. In addition, if you want to punish, then you can also punish me, how about it?¡± ¡°Nan Tiandu, I am not afraid, why are you afraid? Are you afraid that I will go back on my words and run away immediately after I am freed?¡± Ye Chuan firmly grabbed the hard pillar and added, ¡°Nan Tiandu, since you consider me as a brother, let me out and have a fight to determine victory or defeat. Even if you must stop me, also make me sincerely convinced. Don¡¯t make me regret for tens or hundreds of years. At least make me exert myself to the utmost. Otherwise, if Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia died below Heavenly Yao Peak, then I will hate you for life.¡± The eyes of Ye Chuan were bright red, but he didn¡¯t fly into a rage, instead, his voice was cold. His anger had reached the limit, but he calmed down. Now, he was just alike snow and ice-covered volcano, ready to explode at any time. Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t speak, he became silent. Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others however became restless. They had never seen Ye Chuan like this, especially Zhu Sijia, she understood that Ye Chuan was truly angry this time. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, this has nothing to do with Nan Tiandu, you should blame me.¡± Zhu Sijia gritted her teeth and took a step forward close to the pillar in front of Ye Chuan, unguarded. She had requested Nan Tiandu to come over, so she would rather Ye Chuan kill her in anger. She had never thought that she would see these two brothers fall out after he was trapped. She then cried and added, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, before you broke through to Half Sage realm and break free, if Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia died, then I will bury myself with her, how is that?¡± Ye Chuan who was tightly grabbing the pillar in extreme rage suddenly stiffened and stood still. One life accompany another life, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was his lover, they had already exchanged vows in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm to go through thick and thin throughout their life, but, wasn¡¯t Zhu Sijia also his lover? In order to save Zixia, making Zhu Sijia speak out such painful words, was he truly doing right? ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan roared. He was truly going mad. But at that time, Worldly Prison Cage that wouldn¡¯t budge even after he used the strength of 216,000 jin suddenly disappeared. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, come, let¡¯s fight. If you win, this brother will not stop you!¡± Nan Tiandu solemnly said. He finally took the initiative to get rid of this restriction. Ye Chuan was right. Even if he stopped Ye Chuan, he must make him sincerely convinced and let him try his best. After that, in the future, even if Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia died below Heavenly Yao Peak, he would have no regret. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others who were kneeling on the ground quickly retreated and opened up space. Zhu Sijia also retreated far away, but when she brushed past Nan Tiandu, she secretly signaled him. The latter slightly nodded his head, readily taking a hint. In this battle, he wanted to make Ye Chuan sincerely convinced and give up on going to Heavenly Yao Sect, but he also had to pay attention to not lose control of his hand. Now, Ye Chuan was sad and angry, he might meet force with force. If he was careless, then he might inflict serious injuries to Ye Chuan. That was something no one wanted to see. One was the most outstanding Big Disciple throughout the history of Cloud Mist Sect. He was young in age but could sweep through Daoist Master realm. The other was millennium genius, in addition, he had fused with Evil Dragon and broken through to Half Sage realm. He was the most outstanding personage among the young disciples of Cloud Mist Sect. Both Nan Tiandu and Ye Chuan were the pride of Ye Chuan, but there was no suspense in this battle. In the eyes of everyone, Nan Tiandu was already a victor. Although Ye Chuan was powerful, but when all was said and done, his cultivation was just Peak Daoist Master realm. Without the help of his powerful followers Plague Archfiend Abasi, Diamond Ape King and others, how could he defeat a powerful Half Sage realm expert? Everyone retreated far away and watched quietly. They were not expecting Ye Chuan to turn defeat into victory, rather were waiting to see how he would be defeated and were worried about the extent of his injuries. They were not in the same level, but Nan Tiandu had done this just to give Ye Chuan a chance to struggle to his utmost, making him sincerely convinced. ¡°Brother Tiandu, thank you for giving me this opportunity, but, in order to save ZIxia, I will now be lenient, be careful.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion was cold, his energy fluctuation was rising and his dense killing intent was also rippling in the air. Bang, Iron Blooded Banner suddenly appeared in his hand and emitted dangerous aura. Even when Ye Chuan was trapped in Worldly Prison Cage, he didn¡¯t give up, and now, since he a chance to go to Heavenly Yao Sect right in front of his eyes, would he easily miss it? Everyone was nervous. Even though they already knew that there was no suspense in this battle, their heartbeat still accelerated. Compared to Nan Tiandu, the cultivation of Ye Chuan was weaker, but no matter when he faced Ghost King Dusen or Qing Tianhou, he repeatedly created miracles. This time also, will he have a trump card? Everyone watched without blinking their eyes. They looked forward to a brilliant battle, but they were also worried about Ye Chuan and Nan Tiandu getting injured. Along with messy footsteps, more disciples of Cloud Mist Sect rushed over upon hearing the news. They wanted to witness the battle between Ye Chuan and Nan Tiandu, these two great geniuses of their sect. Chapter 584: Heaven Shaking Sword Technique ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, rest assured, I will be careful, you also be careful. In this battle, I will use my strongest attack to defeat you.¡± Nan Tiandu stood straight and his energy fluctuation rose sharply. Then, a cyan light flashed and a cyan-colored sword appeared in his hand. There was a dragon carved on the blade of this sword. He waved his hand and the sword began to vibrate and a cyan-colored light circulated on its blade as if that carved dragon was coming back to life. In addition, a powerful dragon roar resounded throughout the sky. In half a year of time they had not seen each other, Nan Tiandu had not only broken through to Half Sage realm, but he had also found a great killing weapon who knows where. This cyan-colored sword was very powerful. A single stab from it would definitely punch a hole through his body! The energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan was also rising rapidly as he inwardly prepared to make his strongest move. Nan Tiandu was by no means inferior, his momentum was even stronger, giving Ye Chuan a heavy pressure. He wanted to use his strongest attack to defeat Ye Chuan and make him sincerely convinced so that Ye Chuan would discard the thoughts of going to Heavenly Yao Sect. For a moment, he actually made Ye Chuan feel as if he was facing Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, these two super experts! The two stood still without batting an eyelid. Some distance away, the onlookers however were restless and even more nervous. The fights between were especially ferocious. Sometimes, just one move could decide the victor or even behead the opponent. Although Nan Tiandu had readily taken a hint from Zhu Sijia and will not seriously be ruthless, sometimes, one¡¯s move could go beyond one¡¯s control. If he lost control, then wouldn¡¯t¡­ Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others were worried, especially Zhu Sijia. Although she had already retreated to one side, she couldn¡¯t help taking a few steps forward and closely watch Ye Chuan without blinking. She feared that if she blinked her eyes, she might miss something and would be late to save him. Not far away, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Diamond Ape King and others also stepped forward, subconsciously or consciously. They were prepared to make a move at any time is something abnormal happened. When Nan Tiandu had laid out Worldly Prison Cage to trap Ye Chuan and not let him go to Heavenly Yao Sect to court death, they forced themselves to stay out of it, hoping Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t act rashly. But, now, Nan Tiandu and Ye Chuan were about to have a decisive battle in public, how could they look on with folded arms? They were prepared to prevent any contingency. ¡°Brother Tiandu, how is your cultivation of Heaven Shaking Nine Swords? Now, is it brought to the point of perfection?¡± Ye Chuan suddenly asked. The circumstances of the time he met Nan Tiandu for the first time appeared in his mind. At that time, he had just left God Burial Valley and he didn¡¯t have a steady foundation in Cloud Mist Sect. Although he was already Big Disciple at that time, not even a dozen people throughout the sect attach importance to him, this Big Senior Apprentice Brother. Under the temptation of silkpants Jin Hua, proud and aloof Nan Tiandu had come to Cloud Mist Courtyard to look for trouble with him. He wanted to force him to voluntarily resign from his position of Big Disciple. The result, like from an exchange of blows friendship grows, they two became brothers from enemies. And at that time, Ye Chuan learned the might of Nan Tiandu¡¯s Heaven Shaking Sword. Now, after many years, their cultivation had reached high, especially Nan Tiandu. Among the younger generation disciples, he became the first person to breakthrough to Half Sage realm. His Heaven Shaking Sword should be even more powerful without a doubt! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother has a good memory, even after so many years, you still remember my Heaven Shaking Sword. Big Senior Apprentice Brother, today, I request you to guide me again.¡± Nan Tiandu raised the cyan-colored sword. Instantly, his killing intent increased sharply and his momentum became even more threatening as a terrifying power condensed at the tip of this sword. It appeared as if space will be torn apart if he swung this sword. ¡°Hahaha, good!¡± Ye Chuan laughed and holding Iron Blooded Banner, he rushed up, taking the initiative to attack. Whoosh, the Iron Blooded Banner swept towards Nan Tiandu with great strength. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, take this!¡± Nan Tiandu take this attack head-on by gently swinging his cyan sword. Clang, such a powerful attack of Ye Chuan was easily resolved by Nan Tiandu. But, the eyes of Ye Chuan shone and circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he attacked again. This time, his strength was even stronger. With the addition of the strength of 216,000 jin, the momentum of Iron Blooded Banner was stronger. It instantly gave rise to a storm and even space around distorted. The onlookers who were standing dozens of meters away hastily retreated in succession in fear that they would be injured by the aftermath of this fierce battle. Nan Tiandu¡¯s eyebrows rose. He could feel how powerful this attack of Ye Chuan was. Instantly, his fighting spirit was stimulated. He didn¡¯t retreat, on the contrary, took this attack head-on with a sword slash. The terrifying momentum of Iron Blooded Banner engulfed half of the sky, its trajectory was also changing unpredictably. At one moment, it was ferociously smashing down towards the ground, and in the next moment, it was sweeping towards the opponent. Like a spread net, there was nowhere to escape. But, a single sword slash of Ye Chuan sealed the attack of Ye Chuan. Sword as if wind, a sword shakes heaven! This sword move of Nan Tiandu was truly extraordinary. It was the same move, but compared to the past when Ye Chuan had seen this move for the first time, it was many times stronger. Ye Chuan leaped back and looked at standing tall and straight Nan Tiandu as he narrowed his eyes. The current Nan Tiandu was far more powerful than he expected. After fusing with Evil Dragon and breaking through to Half Sage realm, his Heaven Shaking Sword Technique was unrivaled in the world. Ye Chuan could see that he had vaguely comprehended the style of former Heaven Shaking Great Sage, giving other people an undefeatable feeling. With twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans, he would have a strength of 216,000 jin. Wasn¡¯t this amazing enough? But, little did he imagine, the strength of Nan Tiandu was even fiercer. The stronger the opponent, the stronger he became. He would use absolute strength to defeat his opponent. This was the true essence and terrifying aspect of Heaven Shaking Sword Technique! As a former Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan understood more about how strong Heaven Shaking Sword Technique was than Nan Tiandu. In just two exchanges, he understood that defeating Nan Tiandu in a direct confrontation was even harder than reaching the sky. Once one reached great success in the cultivation of Heaven Shaking Sword Technique, unless one was a level stronger, don¡¯t imagine suppressing him a direct battle, on the contrary, you will be suppressed by him. In other words, Ye Chaun feared that only Qing Tianhou, and Jiang Tunsheng leveled super experts or Octopus Empress like Sage realm peerless experts could suppress current Nan Tiandu in a frontal battle. Just breaking through to a Half Sage realm, Nan Tiandu was already so powerful, once he broke through to Peak Half Sage realm or even Sage realm, then who will be his opponent in the entire Wilderness World? Ye Chuan¡¯s heart shook. He was happy for Nan Tiandu, but he was also tense. Since Nan Tiandu was so powerful, how could he defeat Nan Tiandu to go to Heavenly Yao Sect? Chapter 585: Displaying various techniques ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, here I come, watch out!¡± Nan Tiandu shouted as his sword whistled towards Ye Chuan¡¯s chest. Now, he began to attack. Ye Chuan looked over and only saw a wisp of cyan light and heard a whistling sound. This whistling sound grew louder and louder, and transformed into ear-deafening dragon roar. The cyan sword of Nan Tiandu had also vaguely transformed into a cyan dragon. It was rushing towards him with its mouth wide open. Heaven Shaking First Style, Dragon Slaying Hand! The attack of Nan Tiandu was swift and fierce. He had truly begun to display the might of Heaven Shaking Sword Technique. He wanted to use his strongest attacks to defeat Ye Chuan and make him sincerely convinced. Upon seeing this sword thrust, the heart of onlookers sunk and felt an invisible heavy pressure. Even Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and others felt as if they couldn¡¯t move an inch. So powerful! Nan Tiandu doesn¡¯t easily make a move, but once he made a move, it would shake the world, who can block this sword attack? Even similarly Half Sage realm Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo¡¯s complexion also changed as they felt strong danger from this move. Even with their cultivation base, it was somewhat hard to take this move of Nan Tiandu head-on, as for Ye Chuan who had just broken through to Peak Daoist Master realm, how would he deal with it? Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend, and Diamond Ape King, these four great experts looked at each other and simultaneously took a step closer to Ye Chuan. They were prepared to make a move at any time. And under the effect of this fierce battle, numerous disciples of Cloud Mist Sect had to retreat again. Some wanted to get closer to see clearly, but they weren¡¯t even able to stand stably. The four experts however didn¡¯t retreat, they instead advanced. Zhu Sijia also stood beside the four great experts and gritting her teeth, she walked up. She was worried and uneasy about the fierce battle between Nan Tiandu and Ye Chuan. She was worried that Nan Tiandu might not be able to stop in time and seriously injure Ye Chuan. When she walked up, Little Long¡¯er also had no choice but to grit teeth and follow her. Although it was very dangerous, he didn¡¯t forget the instruction of Ye Chuan which was to protect Zhu Sijia. The onlookers were also very nervous. And on the stage, the complexion of Ye Chuan who was bearing the burnt also changed, and the moment before the cyan sword stabbed his body, he finally moved. Like a weightless feather, he fluttered away, narrowly avoiding the sharp sword. ¡°Heaven Shaking Second Style!¡± Nan Tiandu¡¯s voice resounded as a second sword followed. This sword thrust brought along a fierce wind in the air. And the people who were feeling heavy pressure just a moment ago instantly felt light and felt like they would be blown away by this fierce invisible wind. Heaven Shaking Nine Swords, one sword was stronger than others! After breaking through to Half Sage realm, now, Nan Tiandu was a rare talent in reality as well as in name. He was also a peerless swordsman who truly inherited the path of former Heaven Shaking Great Sage, comprehending the essence of Heaven Shaking Sword Technique. Once he went all-out, his attacks would come like waves, and one attack was fiercer than others. Not to mention the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, even Old Demon of Mount Yin and other experts were frightened. On the back of Ye Chuan, a pair of blood-red wings suddenly spouted. Instantly, his speed greatly increased and his movement also became more unpredictable. He floated left and right, dodging this sword move of Nan Tiandu. Along with the ferocious attacks of Nan Tiandu, Ye Chuan¡¯s offense turned into defense. He used Remex Armguard in addition to Cyan Feather Technique to dodge. This Remex Armguard Ye Chuan snatched from Remex Devil in Flying Fish World let him display his skill. Now, this armguard displayed its astonishing might again. Nan Tiandu attacked ferociously, but relying on Remex Armguard along with profound Cyan Feather Technique, Ye Chuan was as light as a swallow, dodging the attack of Nan Tiandu again. ¡°Big Senior Brother, your movement technique is good, here I come again, Heaven Shaking Third Style!¡± Nan Tiandu roared and his sword move became even more dangerous. In the beginning, he was still holding back so as to avoid accidentally injure Ye Chuan. But slowly, he raised his strength and used all his strength. He even pushed Heaven Shaking Sword Technique to the limit. Ye Chuan¡¯s movement technique was peerless, but even though he was able to dodge the sharp sword, he was unable to completely dodge the powerful sword qi, thus he just guarded his vital parts. Quickly, many wounds appeared all over Ye Chuan¡¯s body. All those injuries were caused by swift and fierce sword qi. ¡°Brother Tiandu, are you only this skilled? You still have a powerful big killing move, right? Quickly display it, otherwise, this Big Senior Apprentice Brother want to quickly leave for Heavenly Yao Sect!¡± Ye Chuan shouted. He was already covered with blood, but his heart was even more excited. He could see the hope of going to Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, come!¡± Nan Tiandu suddenly looked up and roared. Behind him, a phantom of Soaring Heaven Draconic Mouse appeared. Although it was not that huge, its momentum was above a dragon. Its huge claw grabbed the empty air and a cage that had the radius of over ten meters suddenly appeared in the air and fell towards Ye Chuan. After attacking for a long time without success, Nan Tiandu was also somewhat unsettled and he displayed his innate technique he had comprehended not long ago, wanting to trap Ye Chuan again. With the help of his Master, cyan robed Seven Elder, not only he broke through to Half Sage realm, in addition, he also comprehended a truly great technique. Heaven Shaking Nine Swords was already powerful enough, but for him, it was not his most powerful move. This Worldly Prison Cage was his true killing move. According to his master, the power of Soaring Heaven Draconic Mouse had just begun to unfold. Someday, after he broke through to Sage realm, his might would be even more powerful! Even Nan Tiandu himself also didn¡¯t know the origin of Soaring Heaven Draconic Mouse. Perhaps, it was contained in the bloodline of the evil dragon and was awakened by him, or perhaps, he unwittingly ate a pill or refined a treasure, awakening it. But, at this present state, it was not necessary to investigate it too much. He just knew that he had to work harder under the direction of his master. Nan Tiandu had a hunch, at this moment, he had already broken through to Half Sage realm, but breaking through to Sage realm was also not too far, and at that time, he would become All Heaven Sage in reality as well as in name. The figure of Ye Chuan suddenly dimmed, followed by appearing over ten meters back. He narrowly escaped Worldly Prison Cage. Peerless Style Technique! Inside the Worldly Prison Cage, many techniques suffered powerful suppression and were unable to use, but now, Ye Chuan was not restricted. Nan Tiandu flew over and another Worldly Prison Cage descended from heaven. This time, it was faster and wider. But, Ye Chuan still narrowly escaped it. With Remex Armguard, Cyan Feather technique and the addition of Peerless Style Technique Ye Chuan had mastered millions of years ago, Ye Chuan brushed past jaws of death again and again. Two geniuses, one attacked ferociously and the other dodged. It resembled a dance, making everyone exclaim. The onlookers had their eyes wide open and exclaim fell incessantly on the ears. Nan Tiandu¡¯s strength was far beyond the expectation. He was the Half Sage realm expert who had finally appeared in Cloud Mist Sect. But, although the cultivation was Ye Chuan was a bit lower, his fighting sense, grasping the opportunity and movement techniques were amazing. If he broke through to Half Sage realm, then he might become even more powerful than Nan Tiandu! A battle that was thought to be without suspense was far more exciting than people expected! Chapter 586: Brothers traveling together ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I am going all-out!¡± Nan Tiandu suddenly stopped and no longer chased after Ye Chuan. Then, his figure gradually faded away as the Soaring Heaven Draconic Mouse phantom behind him became clearer and clearer. In addition, it was also getting bigger and bigger. In the end, it held his head high and roared, thoroughly transforming into a huge yao beast. Like a dragon but not a dragon, like a mouse but not a mouse, it had a dragon body and mouse head. It was much bigger than Plague Archfiend Abasi. Just the wagging movement of its tail created sonic booms. Its momentum was greater than a dragon. After attacking without success for a long time, Nan Tiandu finally went all-out. After fusing with an evil dragon at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, his body had become a dragon. Now, after breaking through to Half Sage realm under the guidance of Seventh Elder, he transformed into dragon body mouse head Soaring Heaven Draconic Mouse. His appearance had undergone tremendous changes, or perhaps, evolved. After breaking through to Sage realm, he might evolved again, but it was unknown what he would become. ¡°What kind of yao beast is this? How come it feels like it is more powerful than a dragon?¡± ¡°This is the legendary ancient yao beast of Wilderness World, Soaring Heaven Draconic Mouse. According to the legends, it specialized in hunting all kinds of ancient yao beasts! Heavens, is this the real form of Tiandu?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. The onlookers cried out in alarm. Some people recalled the records of ancient yao beasts and recognized the form of Nan Tiandu, and then turned pale. Cloud Mist Sect had a very long history. It had a vast collection of records. It could be said that its collection was the largest in the world. Its collection includes various kinds of cultivation techniques and also all kinds of records. The record of yao beasts was one of the ancient books which recorded numerous yao beasts of Wilderness World from ancient times. In present times, each one of them was heaven-defying existences. For a long time, Nan Tiandu was known as the millennium genius of the sect. In the eyes of younger generation disciples, his status was second onto to Big Disciple Ye Chuan, and his cultivation was even higher than Ye Chuan, but no one had expected that the true form of Nan Tiandu was so terrifying? Ye Chuan looked solemn as he felt danger and great pressure. Roar, Nan Tiandu who had transformed into Soaring Heaven Draconic Mouse roared and a huge cage that was over one hundred meters in radius fell towards Ye Chuan. It was the same Worldly Prison Cage, but it was ten times more powerful! Once Ye Chuan was trapped, he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape! The blood-red wings on Ye Chuan¡¯s back flapped violently and was able to narrowly escape this cage. But, he didn¡¯t have time to rejoice as a huge black shadow appeared in front of him. The moment Ye Chuan escaped Worldly Prison Cage, Nan Tiandu flew straight into Ye Chuan. Dong, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t have time to dodge and was sent flying. Afterward, he stood up with great difficulty and vomited a mouthful of blood. Such a powerful attack, if it had landed on a mountain, then the mountain would have collapsed. If an average person was in his place, then not to mention escaping alive, he might have been crushed to death. An ear-deafening roar resounded again and Nan Tiandu pounced again. Although his body was huge, his speed was also astonishing. He flit across the sky like a bolt of lightning. And at the same time, yet another huge cage fell from the sky. He initiated ferocious attacks from two sides. Ye Chuan swayed left and right, and suddenly accelerated to dodge Worldly Prison Cage. Then, he roared and brandished Iron Blooded Banner while crazily rotating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. Facing the ferocious attacks of Nan Tiandu, only dodging was useless, thus, Ye Chuan also brazenly initiated a counterattack. In order to defeat Nan Tiandu and go to Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan also began to stake all. The heaven Iron Blooded Banner and Nan Tiandu¡¯s huge body collided. Originally, in accordance with the trick of this move, Ye Chuan only needed to turn Iron Blooded Banner to deflect the other party, or he could even take advantage of the situation to smash the other party to the ground. But, the body of Nan Tiandu was honestly too huge and his fighting power was even more amazing. He wouldn¡¯t collapse even if he hit him, and he would stay still even though he turned Iron Blooded Banner. In the next moment, Nan Tiandu grabbed this chance and attacked. Instantly, Ye Chuan felt burning stinging pain on his chest. His skin was torn and even his bones seemed to be broken. Roar! Nan Tiandu roared and prepared to push forward. The more he fought, the more valiant he became. Ye Chuan immediately got up from the ground and took out Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal from his bosom. It was the sacred item of White Dragon Realm given to him by White Dragon Sage. It contained amazing amount of energy. After refining it, even if he didn¡¯t immediately breakthrough to Half Sage realm, his strength would increase vastly at the least. This crystal was something Ye Chuan originally intended to set aside for the critical moment. He wanted to use it when fighting against Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi. It was one of his trump cards. But, as it now seemed that he already had to use it. In order to break through the blockade Nan Tiandu and go to Heavenly Yao Sect, in order to rescue Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia suppressed under Heavenly Yao Peak never to see the sun again, Ye Chuan had no other choice. Roar! Another roar resounded and Nan Tiandu who was prepared to push forward slowly reverted back to his human form. The Worldly Prison Cage floating in midair also disappeared alone with cold killing intent and pressure. When Ye Chuan was preparing to refine Dragon¡¯s Vein Crystal on the spot, Nan Tiandu took the initiative to stop attacking. Ye Chuan was stunned. The onlookers were also confused. They didn¡¯t know what was going on. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you can go.¡± Nan Tiandu¡¯s energy fluctuation completely simmered down and he quietly looked at Ye Chuan. Although Ye Chuan only had the cultivation base of Peak Daoist Master realm and he would lose if this fight continues, his fighting power, however, was far beyond the cultivators of the same realm. This greatly surprised Nan Tiandu. With such strength, although Heavenly Yao Sect was still dangerous, Ye Chuan had a hope of survival.Of course, this was not the main reason why Nan Tiandu had stopped. Ye Chuan was reckless, in order to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he would dash ahead regardless of his safety, this was the main reason why Nan Tiandu had suddenly stopped. ¡°Thank you, brother Tiandu.¡± Ye Chuan put back Dragon Veils¡¯ Crystal and thanked. And since there was no time to waste, he just waved his hands towards Zhu Sijia and others, then left. But, after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped because Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were following behind him. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I nearly forgot to tell you, you can go to Heavenly Yao Sect, but you must bring me, this brother, along.¡± Nan Tiandu walked over and stood together with Ye Chuan. Then, faintly said, ¡°Brother, according to the rumor, White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi is strongest Half Sage realm expert of Wilderness World, I want to take a look at how amazing she is!¡± Although Heavenly Yao Sect was dangerous, Nan Tiandu was undaunted. Since he couldn¡¯t stop Ye Chuan, he would go together and fight side by side with his brother! ¡°Fine, with such a brother in this life, I can lay down my life without regret!¡± Ye Chuan remained silent for a while and hugged Nan Tiandu. He didn¡¯t need to speak everything. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King also followed. This was understandable because if Ye Chuan died, they would be buried together with him. But, Nan Tiandu was different, still, he decided to follow him, this was beyond Ye Chuan¡¯s expectation and deeply moved him. Although he knew that this trip was extremely dangerous, he still resolutely decided to follow him, other than a loyal brother, who would do this? Behind a rock of Heavenly Dragon peak, a cyan robed old man was watching everything from the distance. Upon seeing Nan Tiandu also wanted to follow Ye Chuan to Heavenly Yao Sect, he sighed and turned away. Chapter 587: Meeting an old friend ¡°Report¡­¡± A loud shout came from far away. Ye Chuan turned around and saw a disciple of Cloud Mist Sect rushing towards them stepping on a flying sword. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, a youngster calling himself Huainanzi has come to request for an audience, he said that his is your old friend.¡± ¡°Huainanzi?¡± Ye Chuan frowned. At this moment, his heart was already not here, he was very impatient to go to Heavenly Yao Sect to save a person, where did he have time to receive a guest? ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, it¡¯s that noble son Zhao of that something Heroic Alliance, a very distinctive youth.¡± Zhu Sijia walked over and reminded Ye Chuan. Huainanzi Zhao Yinghuai, son of Lord Huainan, emissary of Heroic Alliance! Ye Chuan suddenly thought as the scene of his first meeting with Huainanzi appeared in his mind. At that time, this Huainanzi Zhao Yinghuai had also come uninvited and invited him to join Heroic Alliance. In addition, before leaving, he had warned him to pay attention to Daqin Crown Prince Li Guanghan and Azure Dragon Prefecture. As a result, he discovered that these two sides were untied. And afterward, he colluded with attractive Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu and got rid of both Crown Prince Li Guanghan and Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. ¡°Okay, bring the guest to the Cloud Mist Hall.¡± Ye Chuan quickly ordered, forcibly suppressing his impulse to immediately go to Heavenly Yao Sect. The visit of Huainanzi this time might be related to again inviting him to join the Heroic Alliance, or he might have something urgent or important news. Although Ye Chuan was unclear about the strength of Heroic Alliance behind Huainanzi, their intelligence, however, was first-rate. Thus, even though he was impatient in his heart, he forcedly calmed down and made a time to meet him so as to avoid missing something important. Not long after everyone sat down in Cloud Mist Hall, Huainanzi walked in. Like last time, Huainanzi had an elegant and graceful carriage. He was followed by two old men, one on the left, the other in the right. The old man on the left was very short, he was half a head shorter than even youngster Little Long¡¯er, but he was very robust and rounded like a ball. The old man on the right was almost exactly the opposite. He was very tall and thin like a bamboo pole. Their appearance was less than impressive, but their cultivation base was Peak Daoist Master realm. Last time, when they came to Cloud Mist Sect, these two were about to make a move. This time also they were prepared to talk big, considering everyone beneath their notice. But, sensing the aura of Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and others, especially upon seeing Plague Archfiend, Diamond Ape King and Nan Tiandu, these three Half Sage realm experts, their momentum vanished and were greatly surprised. When they came last time, there was a later stage Daoist Master realm experts in Cloud Mist Sect, only Old Demon of Mount Yin, but now, there were too many to count, in addition, there were even Half Sage realm experts who were far superior to Peak Daoist Master realm experts. And it was not limited to one, what was going on here? The two old men were flabbergasted, and at the same time, they also couldn¡¯t understand what was going on here. ¡°Noble son Ye truly is a dragon among men, we didn¡¯t see each other for a short period of time but you actually have already reached Peak Daoist Master realm, it¡¯s truly amazing!¡± Huainanzi was also shocked, but he quickly came back to his senses and calmed down. Merely, when he looked at Nan Tiandu, Plague Archfiend, and Diamond Ape King, these three Half Sage realm experts, his eyes lit up brightly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing extraordinary, originally, I wanted to breakthrough to Half Sage realm, but later, I thought that if my cultivation speed was too fast, it would attract noble son Zhao¡¯s attention and you will do everything to make me join your something Heroic Alliance, so I hastily stopped,¡± teased Ye Chuan with a smile. He then sized up Huainanzi and those two old men and came straight to the point, ¡°Noble son Zhao, if you have come to pull me into your something Heroic Alliance again, then you can return now. If now, then also return. I have an urgent matter to deal with now, I don¡¯t know when I will return. Since you have come a long way, I ought to properly entertain you, but I truly have no time, I apologize!¡± ¡°Noble son Ye, you are too courteous. You are correct, I truly wanted to invite you to join Heroic Alliance again this time, unfortunately, it seems noble son Ye doesn¡¯t understand our Heroic Alliance or have some misunderstandings, I can only wait for the next time to resolve them.¡± Huainanzi just smiled and waved his fan to cover up the guilt in his heart. Heroic Alliance had a clear division of labor. The tasks were assigned according to each person¡¯s strengths and skills. Huainanzi was responsible to find talented individuals of Wilderness World and persuade them to join the Heroic Alliance. In the past, he had also suffered a lot of refusals, but this was the first time he was facing such a direct refusal. He didn¡¯t even have the opportunity to persuade. If a newcomer of the alliance was here, then such a direct refusal would have hit his confidence and he would no longer dare to take up this responsibility. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, here are some bags of Cloud Mist Tea, thank you for the warning of last time.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and clapped. Then someone offered several bags of Cloud Mist Tea which was the especial product of Cloud Mist Mountain Range as a covert order for guests to leave. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was suppressed under the Heavenly Yao Peak, a day longer was more dangerous. Ye Chuan truly didn¡¯t have any mood to waste the time. His mind was already not here. ¡°Wait a minute, noble son Ye, I still have one more matter for coming here.¡± Upon seeing Ye Chuan was preparing to leave, Huainanzi no longer dragged on and quickly took out a map from his bosom, then said, ¡°Noble son Ye, this is the latest and most accurate map of Heavenly Yao Sect. Every checkpoint and every restriction are marked here. Alliance Head Feng especially sent me here to deliver this gift to noble son Ye.¡± There was no movement on the part of Huainanzi, but the map he held automatically flew towards Ye Chuan. ¡°Map of Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan changed. He immediately grabbed this map and take a look. Sure enough, it truly was the detailed map of Heavenly Yao Sect with numerous marks. Black marks represented checkpoints and a number alongside them represented corresponding troops. And Red marks represented restrictions. The layout defense of Heavenly Yao Sect was clearly marked. Ye Chuan knew the terrain of Heavenly Yao Sect. In the past, when his follower Blue Eyed Yao Empress was establishing Heavenly Yao Sect, he also had spent a lot of efforts. Like Cloud Mist Sect, it could be said that the foundation of Heavenly Yao Sect was laid down by him. The later generation merely did what little they can to help. Of course, after millions of years, although the overall terrain of Heavenly Yao Sect had little to no change, the specific details, however, had changed beyond recognition. Many new checkpoints and restrictions were added. Originally, Ye Chuan was preparing to forcibly break-in. But, now that he had this map, the situation changed, he could avoid the eyes and ears of Heavenly Yao Sect and sneak in. ¡°Noble son Zhao, are eyes and ears of your Heroic Alliance also planted in my Cloud Mist Sect?¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s face sank as he coldly looked at Huainanzi. This map gave him a great advantage in his current trip to Heavenly Yao Sect, but Ye Chuan was not happy. Huainanzi giving him this map at this critical juncture, neither early nor late, what does this explain? There were moles in Cloud Mist Sect for sure. Someone must have leaked the news of him wanting to hastily go to Heavenly Yao Sect! Who is this mole? Ye Chuan stayed calm on the surface, but was shocked in his heart. He already knew how good the intelligence gathering ability of Heroic Alliance was, he was well aware that it was far superior to Cloud Mist Sect, but he had never thought that they had planted their informers even in Cloud Mist Sect. This Heroic Alliance is not simple! The complexion of Ye Chuan became ice-cold. It seems he had to revalue the strength of Heroic Alliance again. Chapter 588: The fear of a mole ¡°Although the world is big, the heroes of our Heroic Alliance are everywhere. Even if we end up with the last drop of blood, we will survive. Noble son Ye, the doors of our Heroic Alliance will always be open to you, I wish you good luck in your trip to Heavenly Yao Sect!¡± Huainanzi neither admitted nor declined the matter of their mole in Cloud Mist Sect. He just bowed slightly and left with those two old men. The eyes of Old Demon of Mount Yin flashed with pallid light and stood up, wanting to block them, but Ye Chuan stopped him with a glance. Those three quickly left Cloud Mist Hall and disappeared. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, why did you let them go? Why didn¡¯t you interrogate who was their informer?¡± Fatty Zhao Dazhi stoop up for the first time and asked with some concerns and doubts. Moles were the most harmful things to the sect. In the past, the sudden rebellion of Third Elder Bai Yanhu greatly damaged the vitality of Cloud Mist Sect and was almost annihilated. And now, they again knew that there was a mole in the sect, if they didn¡¯t take this chance to immediately root them out, wasn¡¯t that leaving troubles for the future? Zhu Sijia and others were also worried and puzzled, and looked at Ye Chuan. ¡°In anyplace with more than one person, there will always be a conflict of different interests. There will also be moles and other¡¯s eyes and ears. Let alone a big sect, even if you want to make a watertight defense, it is impossible, there will always be some ** villains. Kill one, and after some time, another one will appear. Now, the most important thing for our Cloud Mist Sect is to grow up as much as possible before the chaos. We should find a way to raise our strength and survive in this chaos. If we spend all our time to find moles, then that would just be a waste of time. When we are strong enough, the hidden moles inside our sect will either disappear or appear on their own, or they will find their way to death, now is not the time.¡± Ye Chuan explained. People were worried and frightened that traitors like Third Elder Bai Yanhu will appear in the sect someday, but he was not that surprised. When he was Heaven Concealing Great Sage in his past life and dominated the entire Wilderness World, he had experienced all kinds of circumstances. He had seen loyal followers and also unrepentant followers. He had also seen deeply hidden crafty, cunning people. He knew how to deal with them. The more one knew about the mole in the sect, the calmer one should be and carefully sort out the organizational framework and control of the sect. Then, slowly, the moles would begin to surface on their own. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, since Nan Tiandu will also follow you to forcibly break into Heavenly Yao Sect, if something dangerous happened to the sect during this time, then what should be done?¡± Zhu Sijia stood up and quickly asked Ye Chuan for instructions. Now that she knew that it was impossible to stop Ye Chuan from going to Heavenly Yao Sect, although she also wanted to follow Ye Chuan and would rather die together with him, she knew that her cultivation base was too shallow, and she would just be a burden to Ye Chuan, thus, she could only stay behind. What¡¯s more, with both Ye Chuan and Nan Tiandu leaving, someone had to stay behind to preside over the overall situation. At this crucial moment, Zhu Sijia resolutely stood up to take this heavy responsibility. ¡°Jiajia, immediately after we leave, close the door of the sect and activate the restrictions, then strictly forbid anyone from leaving and entering. If our sect is attacked during this time, just defend to the death relying on restrictions, strictly forbid to arbitrarily go to war.¡± Ye Chuan paused for a while and added, ¡°If the enemy is too powerful to block, then you can call White Dragon Sage of Dragon King Island via message talisman. He will immediately rush over. If White Dragon Sage didn¡¯t make in time to save the moment or even he was not the opponent, then you can go to Heavily Dragon Peak, ring this bell, meet a cyan robed person, and request him to set out a helping hand!¡± Ye Chuan took out a small bell from Cyan Lotus Space and signaled Little Long¡¯er to pass it to Zhu Sijia. Along with a cold breeze, a clear and melodious ringing of a bell resounded. Zhu Sijia carefully sized up this small bell for a while and asked again, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, who is this cyan robed person?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Ye Chuan thought for a bit and replied to Zhu Sijia. According to this cyan robed Seventh Elder himself, a very long time ago, he was just an ordinary cowherd. Later, he met a mysterious woman. She taught him his peerless merit law and took him to explore Outer World. Then, she ordered to return him and guard his native place, waiting for someone. Listening to this Seventh Elder, it seemed that he didn¡¯t have a deep connection with Cloud Mist Sect. Looking at his means, he resembled the experts of ancient Buddhist Sect, aloof and refined, paid no attention to secular affairs. Last time, when State Teacher Jiang Tunseng had invaded, he didn¡¯t make a move, but, Ye Chuan had a hunch that if Cloud Mist Sect was seriously on the verge of total annihilation, then he wouldn¡¯t sit by and watch on for sure. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have haunted the rear mountain of Cloud Mist Sect for so many years. The reply of Ye Chuan clearly made Zhu Sijia a little uneasy and anxious, and she said, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, then¡­, then if by chance that cyan robed person didn¡¯t appear or didn¡¯t set out a helping hand? ¡°Then take all disciples and evacuate to Dragon King Island. Take all the things that could be taken away and destroy the rest. If the worst comes to the worst, we will build Could Mist Sect again in Overseas World!¡± replied Ye Chuan. He had already made preparation for the worst-case scenario. At that time, the grand canal leading to the Overseas World was the best escape route. ¡°Okay, I understand.¡± Zhu Sijia nodded her head and knew what she should do. She grew up in Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Her happiness and sadness doused this place. It was hard to leave behind one¡¯s homeland, what¡¯s more, destroying a sect was easy, rebuilding one however needed a lot of painstaking efforts. But, after calming down, she knew that the instruction of Ye Chuan was right. She must be prepared for the worst in advance. Before the catastrophe, all the pills, book collections, weapons, and all kinds of resources of the sect should be transferred to overseas. ¡°Jiajia, rest assured, if Cloud Mist Sect is truly at the juncture of life and death, then that cyan robed elder will definitely make a move.¡± Nan Tiandu consoled anxious Zhu Sijia. The matter about him taking that seven robed elder as master, he had not told anyone else but Ye Chuan. Not to mention Cloud Mist Sect and his Master has a relation, just considering his last disciple, it was impossible for his Master to just look on. It was also because his Master was secretly present here, Nan Tiandu could go to Heavenly Yao Sect with Ye Chuan at ease. ¡°Everything will be fine, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan stood up and left along with Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others. He went straight towards the transfer formation in the sect. Behind, Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao and others followed him. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, be careful!¡± Zhu Sijia closely followed behind and watched Ye Chuan activating the transfer formation. She could no longer endure and tears flowed down her cheeks as she said, ¡°Remember, you must come back alive!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, take care of yourself!¡± The accompanying disciples respectfully bowed in succession. Although Ye Chuan and Nan Tiandu were powerful, in addition, there were also Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King, Heavenly Yao Sect was full of experts and known as the foremost sect in the world. This trip of Ye Chuan¡¯s ¡¯roup bode ill rather than well. The chance of returning back alive was minuscule. The nose of everyone turned sour. They didn¡¯t dare to think about what would happen to Ye Chuan¡¯s group after they reach Heavenly Yao Sect. Chapter 589: Heavenly Yao Competition In the midst of cyan light, Ye Chuan looked at Zhu Sijia, Tuoba Xiaoniao, Little Long¡¯er and others. Parting always hurt, not to mention when the parting might be forever never to see each other again. Ye Chuan was somewhat reluctant in his heart, but thinking about Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was being suppressed below Heavenly Yao Peak, never to see the sun again, his heart became firm. No matter what kind of dangers he had to face, he had to go to Heavenly Yao Sect. The cyan colored light emitted by the ancient transfer formation became stronger and stronger, then Ye Chuan and his group felt like the world was spinning and disappeared. Ye Chuan who had just returned from the Overseas World embarked on a new journey again. He had went to distant Overseas World for experience and also to look for treasures and opportunities to breakthrough his bottlenecks. But, this trip to Heavenly Yao Sect was to save his beloved woman. In the Overseas World, he encountered mystical ancient grave worlds and two super experts, Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. But, in this trip to Heavenly Yao Sect, he would have to face White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi who was known as the matchless Half Sage realm expert of Wilderness World. In this trip, will he be able to safely save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia? Ye Chuan had a plan, but whether he would be able to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia or not, even he was not too confident. When all was said and done, he was trapped in God Burial Valley for a long period of time. In such a long period of time, the Heavenly Yao Sect he knew had already become the thing of the past. Along with the appearance of dazzling cyan light, Ye Chuan¡¯s group appeared in the southern ends of Heavenly Fire Continent. If there was no transfer formation, then even if they had rushed continuously for seven days and night on their flying sword, they wouldn¡¯t have arrived here. Fortunately, although Cloud Mist Sect had declined, the foundation laid by the predecessors was still there. Even first-rate sects would envy this kind of ancient transfer formation. Although it was impossible to directly teleport to Outer World via transfer formation, teleporting to Heavenly Yao Sect was easy. ¡°Who¡¯s there, which sect do you belong?¡± A cold voice resounded. A man with a beard was sitting beside the transfer formation. He wore the standard robe of Heavenly Yao Sect. He seemed to be a protector. He looked at Ye Chuan¡¯s group in impatience. ¡°Do you six heard me? Which sect are you from? Really, just heard Heavenly Yao Sect wants to hold grand sacrifice competition, and all inferior sects are rushing over!¡± The man fumed with anger. He was continuously writhing on the stool he was sitting in impatience. ¡°Bellowing Waves Sect, we are from Bellowing Waves Sect.¡± Ye Chuan quickly responded and hinted Old Demon of Mount Yin and others to keep calm with his eyes. Originally, he was intending to forcibly break into Heavenly Yao Sect and go straight to Heavenly Yao Peak to save Heavenly Maiden Hong ZIxia, thus, Old Demon of Mount Yin, and others were already ready to launch their strongest attacks. But, to their surprise, after teleporting here, they didn¡¯t encounter stern interrogation, just an old man was shouting from one side. ¡°Bellowing Waves Sect, where is it? Is there such a sect in mainland?¡± The bearded man asked in confusion. He searched through his mind but was unable to remember where Bellowing Waves Sect was, therefore, he got even more impatient and shouted, ¡°Didn¡¯t you all come to sneak in and watch the excitement? Then, signup to take part in Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s grand sacrifice competition, but it is not a joke, you might lose your life, heh heh¡­¡± ¡°We are truly the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect, but our sect is not in Heavenly Fire Continent, it¡¯s on an island far away in Overseas World. I am Big Disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect, this is my junior apprentice brother. As for these four, they are sect protectors.¡± Ye Chuan bowed unctuously and explained his identity. Naturally, everything was fake. Hearing Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s grand sacrifice competition, Ye Chuan suddenly recalled a matter. In his previous life when Heavenly Yao Sect was just established, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress had purposed a suggestion which was to hold a grand sacrifice competition once every ten years, inviting experts from all over the world. It was especially to commemorate Ye Chuan, her master. Now, after millions of years, Ye Chuan had narrowly escaped, but Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyes Yao Empress had disappeared without a trace. He didn¡¯t know whether she had gone to Outer World or died. Things of Heavenly Yao Sect had remained the same, but the people had changed. Still, this tradition of grand sacrifice ceremony was still passed to this day. Ye Chuan¡¯s mind turned rapidly and thought of a better plan. Talking advantage of the questions of this bearded man, he pushed the boat along with the current and passed themselves as the disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect. In any case, not even a dozen people of mainland have heard of Bellowing Waves Island, this small sect, so they don¡¯t have to worry about being seen through. ¡°You all came from overseas? No wonder, you don¡¯t understand any rules! How many of you want to participate in the competition? Tell me the names.¡± The bearded man spoke while registering the name. He first wrote down ¡°Bellowing Waves Sect¡±. Those strokes looked powerful enough. He used so much strength that his brush nearly pierced through the paper. But, his handwriting was crooked and too horrible to look at. ¡°One, Nan Batian (Dominating Heaven), my junior apprentice brother.¡± Ye Chuan honestly replied. After thinking for a bit, he registered Nan Tiandu alone. Last time, he had caused big havoc in Heavenly Yao Sect, although this bearded man didn¡¯t recognize him, that doesn¡¯t mean other people also wouldn¡¯t recognize him. If he went to the stage, then perhaps, he would be recognized immediately. Nan Tiandu however was different. He was innately proud and aloof, he had rarely left Cloud Mist Mountain Range, thus outsiders had only heard his name, only a few had seen his true face. So, he didn¡¯t need to fear to go on the stage. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I¡­¡± Nan Tiandu was somewhat worried. He was not afraid of this grand sacrifice competition. Merely, this name given by Ye Chuan was honestly a bit embarrassing. Not to mention anything, just this name Nan Batian would attract the attention for sure! ¡°Junior apprentice brother, don¡¯t fear, go on the stage for me and display our Bellowing Waves Sect¡¯s true ability. I, this Big Senior Apprentice Brother, will help you bring up the rear. Beat everyone to death, become the champion of this great competition with absolute dominance, make these mainland cultivations watch the power of us overseas experts!¡± Ye Chuan winked, signaling Nan Tiandu to not be anxious. As a result, it was fine until Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak. Now that he had spoken such words, Nan Tiandu was even more embarrassed and his face became red. First, he was named Nan Batian, next, he was instructed to beat people to death, however one looked at it, he appeared to be a Tyrant King who had never seen the world. Was that not making fool of themselves? Sure enough, Nan Tiandu was just somewhat embarrassed, but that bearded man responsible to register laughed heartily, ¡°Hahaha, good, what a good beat to death Nan Batian! You don¡¯t understand rules and also don¡¯t have the ability, but your tone is bigger than Daoist Master realm great experts. You are indeed a little lackey of Overseas World that has not seen the world, go in, hahahaha¡­¡± The bearded man roared with laughter and wrote three words ¡°Nan Batian¡± with one stroke of the pen. He then waved his hand to signal them to go in. Originally, according to the rules, he had to further interrogate, but, upon seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s group had come from Overseas World and bragged big, the bearded man simply dismissed them after a burst of laughter. The cyan light flashed again and someone else appeared in the transfer formation. Chapter 590: This disciple is pretty good ¡°Quick, wear this robe and bamboo hat.¡± After taking a few steps, Ye Chuan quickly took out several roves and bamboo hats from his Cyan Lotus Space. Then, the six people dressed up as foreign cultivators that came from Overseas World. Other than Nan Tiandu, Ye Chuan and others had just come back from Overseas World. They had already comprehended the customs of Overseas World. Now, all of them wear robe and a big bamboo hat, in addition, they emitted powerful energy fluctuation. Now, even if people who had witnessed Ye Chuan causing havoc last time walked past them, it was very unlikely that they would recognize them. Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was even more amazing. No one knew whether he was using a technique or some kind of treasure, the ground below his legs suddenly became wet. His every step would leave behind small wet marks. He truly resembled the cultivator of Overseas World. At that time, cyan light flashed and other people arrived via transfer formation. This time, there were over a hundred people. They wore different attire, clearly were from different sects. The bearded man got busy and called other people to help him. Under this chaotic situation, no one paid attention to Ye Chuan¡¯s group. A group of patrolling guards brushed past them, but they ignored Ye Chuan¡¯s party. Perhaps, there were too many people because of the grand sacrifice competition to cross-examine or perhaps, they were confident that no one would dare to cause trouble in their foremost sect, the guards of Heavenly Sect were laxer than expected. Ye Chuan¡¯s group didn¡¯t meet any obstruction. ¡°Kakaka, Your Excellency, should we¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed in a low voice and made a beheading gesture. There was quite a few guards and disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, but, they couldn¡¯t see any powerful experts. If they attacked suddenly, then these guards will absolutely not be their opponent and would be killed. ¡°Keep calm, we should stay low first and secretly find the place where Zixia is imprisoned.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and signaled everyone to continue forward. In the front, more than a dozen Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples stood, especially responsible to welcome the people of other sects. Upon seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s party from the distance, this group of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples whispered something to each other and laughed. They then sized them up with a strange look. Among all the sects that came to Heavenly Yao Sect to join grand sacrifice competition, which one didn¡¯t wear a neat dress and looked confident. In addition, which one didn¡¯t try to display their sect¡¯s prestige and strength as much as possible? As for the groups-like Ye Chuan¡¯s party that hid themselves, it was rare. The energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan¡¯s party was also somewhat strange. At first glance, they knew that they were not from the sects of the mainland. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, do you truly want me to join the competition?¡± Nan Tiandu walked to the side of Ye Chuan and asked in a whisper. This time, they had come a long way to help Ye Chuan save a person. He had never thought to participate in some competition and also was not interested. Besides, once his true face was seen, it would be easier to trace them. If they were recognized by Heavenly Yao Sect, then wouldn¡¯t that be troublesome? ¡°Take one step at a time, lay low first and taking advantage of the chance to look for the whereabouts of Zixia.¡± Ye Chuan replied and leisurely walked forward. At this moment, Heavenly Yao Sect was just holding grand sacrifice competition and there were many people, thus, it was somewhat chaotic. This was the most welcome good opportunity. If he didn¡¯t fully utilize such a good chance, then not only it would be a pity, it would also be very foolish! Before he left, Ye Chuan was also a little nervous. Although he had already prepared for the worst, his heart was still disturbed. But now, after setting foot into Heavenly Yao Sect, he calmed down. He kept calm and slowly took action. Now, he shouldn¡¯t get impatient and charge into Heavenly Yao Sect while killing along the way. In a short period of time, he might be able to kill freely relying on a surprise attack. But, it would be troublesome afterward. Perhaps, even before he found the location of Hong Zixia, they would be surrounded and killed. With only the cultivation base of Peak Daoist Master realm, Ye Chuan dared to venture into Heavenly Yao Sect, but that doesn¡¯t mean he would act recklessly. He was bold and also careful. He would fully utilize every opportunity so that he would achieve his objective. This was the valuable experience of Ye Chuan¡¯s previous life. In his previous life, he dominated the entire Wilderness World and could summon rain and wind as he pleased. That was not only because of his heaven-defying cultivation base! It was not that simple! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, then what if I encounter the expert of Heavenly Yao Sect in the competition?¡± Nan Tiandu asked again while bitterly shaking his head. Although he was proud and aloof, he was never accustomed to these bustling so-called grand competitions. ¡°Then, you can just get rid of them righteously, worthy of your name Nan Batian.¡± Ye Chuan smiled and added, ¡°Of course, in order to avoid revealing your identity, refrain from shocking people too much. Don¡¯t kill your opponent in a single hit. Use various kinds of technique and slowly kill Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts.¡± ¡°Then, that wouldn¡¯t be called Nan Batian, rather Nan Motian (Heavenly Demon)¡­¡± Nan Tiandu shook his head. He wanted to say more, but suddenly closed his mouth. Among Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples that were responsible to receive the guests, a female disciple quickly walked over and welcomed them. She didn¡¯t have arrogance like the overall disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect. She spoke to them in smiles, ¡°Your Excellency, this way please!¡± The female disciple slightly bowed and led Ye Chuan¡¯s group along a winding path. In the front, wooden houses could be seen vaguely in the midst of the forest. While walking a few steps, the female disciple turned her head and asked, ¡°Your Excellency, your attire is somewhat unique, I wonder where you come from and what is your honorable sect¡¯s name?¡± ¡°We came from overseas, we belonged to long-standing Bellowing Waves Sect.¡± Ye Chuan then introduced others, ¡°This big fellow behind me is my junior apprentice brother Nan Batian. He is invincible in unarmed battle throughout the Overseas World. As for the other four, they are our sect¡¯s protectors.¡± The female disciple happily sized up Nan Tiandu behind Ye Chuan. Invincible in unarmed battle throughout the Overseas World, named Nan Batian, this name was truly domineering enough. But just looking at his energy fluctuation, does he have such ability? As soon as they arrived at Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan¡¯s group had used a secret technique to weaken their aura and energy fluctuation. They would appear only ordinary Daoist Master realm cultivators. Especially Nan Taindu, he seemed to be a person who had just broken through to Daoist Master realm. His Half Sage realm cultivation base and distinctive merit laws were already concealed. Basically, an ordinary person couldn¡¯t see through his disguise. And since such a person who had just broken through to Daoist Master realm claimed to be invincible in unarmed battle throughout the Overseas World, in Heavenly Yao Sect that claimed to be the first under heaven sect, wasn¡¯t that a big joke? The female disciple laughed with her eyes, but didn¡¯t reveal anything, ¡°So powerful, it turned out to be great experts of Overseas World. No wonder you all look so distinctive. Oh, that¡¯s right, Your Excellency, since you said your sect is long-standing, how many years is your sect¡¯s inheritance?¡± ¡°Countless, even if it is not 500 years, it is at least 300 years. Within the radius of 10,000 li around our Bellowing Waves Island, we are one of the best ancient sects,¡± replied Ye Chuan with a proud look. Puchi, the female disciple finally couldn¡¯t endure any longer and laugh out loud. Afterward, she didn¡¯t dare to ask questions again while leading the way. She feared that if she asked more question, then she would laugh herself to death! With just the inheritance of 300-500 years, he dared to claim that their sect was long-standing. Then, what about the sects that had the inheritance of several thousand or several ten thousand years? The sects scattered throughout the Overseas World were truly small sects that had never seen the world! The female disciple was pleased in her heart, but she endured her impulse to laugh and showed the way. Behind, Ye Chuan was also smiling. After they set foot on Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s territory, this Half Sage ream expert Nan Tiandu was nervous, but he was still smiling as if he had really received the invitation to participate in Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s grand sacrifice competition. He didn¡¯t resemble a person that had come to forcibly break into Heavenly Yao Sect to save a person. This little girl was not bad. She actually didn¡¯t resemble the traditional disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect. That was something rare! Ye Chuan leisurely followed behind this female disciple, admiring her innocence and kindness. He was not the least affected by the latter¡¯s alluring figure. This female disciple was neither tall nor short. She was also neither fat nor thin. She wore a light yellow robe and had a pitch-black long hair. Her style didn¡¯t reduce her charm, rather increased her youthful special charm. ¡°Kakaka, Your Excellency, this little girl is not bad, you should look for a chance to take her away!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s laughter resounded in the mind of Ye Chuan. Among the people on this trip, he was the one that was most excited. He was dying to kill and swallow a large amount of blood, qi and essence of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. If a proud and aloof disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect was leading the way, then he might have gotten rid of him along the way, but such a pure and kindhearted little girl was showing the way, he was a bit reluctant to raise his hand. The female disciple smiled. She couldn¡¯t help feeling happy in her heart, not in ridiculing sense. She was not arrogant like other Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. She quietly led the way, entirely unaware that her kind-hearted nature saved her life. Chapter 571: Ye Erna The steps of this female disciple was fast and light. Not long after, she led Ye Chuan¡¯s group to a place with four courtyards. The three houses were already occupied by other people. Only the dark and gloomy fourth western courtyard was unoccupied. ¡°I am sorry, many people came at once, so only this place is left. The environment is a bit bad, I request noble son to be magnanimous enough to tolerate.¡± The female disciple in yellow dress knew that Ye Chuan was the leader of his group, thus, she changed her tune. Instead of calling Ye Chuan Your Excellency, she called him noble son. Right until now, thinking of the words of Ye Chuan, she still wanted to laugh, but, she handled matters perfectly in accordance to the protocol of Heavenly Yao Sect in receiving Ye Chuan¡¯s group. The environment of this western courtyard was somewhat bad, but there truly were too many people to arrange. It was not deliberately looking down on Ye Chuan¡¯s group. ¡°Compared to our sect, the condition is a little bad, all walls are bare without even a single ornament, but, now that we are already here, we will make do with this.¡± Ye Chuan looked around and said with the appearance of accepting this place with great difficulty. ¡°In your sect, what kind of ornaments are there in the rooms?¡± The female disciple in yellow dress curiously asked. ¡°In our place, the floor is made of gold, the walls are also made of gold,¡± replied Ye Chuan. ¡°Oh, that truly should be a dazzling sight!¡± The female disciple couldn¡¯t help laughing again. Once embarked on the road of cultivation, people chased after medicinal pills and crystal cores. They already don¡¯t care about secular world¡¯s gold and silver. In the eyes of experts, they were like dung and dirt. Cultivating sects also didn¡¯t use gold and silver to decorate the rooms. Merely, some small sects that were even unqualified to be a third-rate sect would continue to retain the custom of secular world. ¡°Noble son, later¡­, if someone asked later, then it would be best to not say this.¡± After thinking for a bit, the female disciple warned Ye Chuan with good intention. ¡°Why?¡± Ye Chuan asked with a confused appearance. ¡°Because, in our mainland, not a single cultivating sect care about secular gold and silver. If gold and silver are inlaid in the resting and cultivating places, then it would be a joke.¡± The female disciple in yellow dress explained. She really believed that Ye Chuan¡¯s group had come from Overseas World¡¯s small sect that had never seen the world. ¡°It turned out to be like that. The sects of the mainland are truly hypocritical, if they don¡¯t have gold and silver, how do they trade items with secular world? They clearly need gold and silver but pretended to not care, hypocrite, so hypocrite!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and followed, ¡°In our Overseas World, if we need something, he will speak directly. We want medicinal pills and crystal cores, but the gold and silver of secular world are also similarly essential. Gold and silver are required to trade with natives for various kinds of local products and worldly treasures. Little girl, originally, I wanted to gift you a golden hairpin that would make you look even better in contrast to your fair skin and jet-black long hair. Unfortunately, since you fear other people making a joke out of you, forget it. Oh, that¡¯s right, what is your name? How can I find you later?¡± ¡°Ye Erna, I entered the sect not long ago. Now, I am especially responsible for receiving guests. If you need anything, then you can find me in that place we met before at any time. By the way, noble son, what how should I address you?¡± The female disciple Ye Erna respectfully asked. Memorizing the leader¡¯s name of each sect was also her responsibility. Afterward, she had to arrange them properly in grand sacrifice competition. ¡°Call me¡­ Mu Chuan.¡± Ye Chuan casually made a pseudonym. He then paused for a bit and added, ¡°Originally, our master didn¡¯t agree to this trip. He was worried that I am too strong and I might accidentally become the champion of this competition, setting others against myself, thus, everything is mainly handled by my junior apprentice brother Nan Batian this time. If there are any matters afterward, you should directly look for him. Junior apprentice brother Batian, speak with Ye Erna girl, you two should handle everything afterward. If there is nothing else, then I am going to cultivate. Just a little bit and I will make a breakthrough. The mainland is so good, the worldly qi is so dense, if our Bellowing Waves Sect had such a good treasured land, then this Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I, should have already broken through to Sage realm.¡± Ye Chuan walked away while muttering. He then entered a room, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate. Behind, the female disciple was unable to endure and chuckled. She felt that Ye Chuan was quite interesting to speak. Clearly, his cultivation was mediocre, but he said that he might accidentally win the competition, setting himself against himself. This was such an unnecessary worry, did he have the ability first? Ye Erna laughed. Clearly, these people of Bellowing Waves Sect didn¡¯t come to participate in the competition, they had especially come a long way to add fun in Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s grand ceremony. Unlike Ye Chuan, Nan Tiandu was blunt. He either spoke just a word or remained silent. Whatever they should do and not do was already decided by Ye Chuan. Soon, the female disciple Ye Erna bade farewell and left. Ye Chuan¡¯s group unexpectedly settled down officially, becoming the guest of Heavenly Yao Sect. Perhaps, the bearded man sitting beside the transfer formation was negligent and didn¡¯t strictly examine them, or perhaps, Heavenly Yao Sect was rejoicing in grandiose deeds and invited any sects that could come, no one doubted the identity of Ye Chuan¡¯s group. The cultivators staying in the other three houses also seemed to have come from different sects that didn¡¯t have many dealings. In the beginning, they repeatedly looked at Ye Chuan¡¯s group in curiosity, wondering why they were wearing a similar robe and a bamboo hat. But, upon hearing they had come from a small sect of Overseas World, they calmed down and were totally jaded. For a long time now, the mainland and Overseas World didn¡¯t have much contact. For various big sects of the mainland, Overseas World the world filled with uneducated people that had yet to become civilized. Their behavior was strange and very abnormal. In the western darn and damp courtyard, there was a row of three rooms. Each room had a spiritual qi gathering formation. The air had dense worldly spiritual qi. Ye Chuan had spoken a bit of truth. Just looking at the worldly spiritual qi here, it was much better than the so-called cultivating chambers of many small sects. The unparalleled sect was truly extraordinary. Ordinary sects could never compare to it! Ye Chuan calmed down and sat cross-legged on the floor to cultivate. In the left room, Nan Tiandu also sat down quickly and began to cultivate. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King stayed together in the final right room. Rain Demon and others also began to cultivate to adjust their state. Old Demon of Mount Yin however went out to visit the disciples of other sects, calmly scouting the situation. In terms of cultivation base, Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was far from being the most powerful follower of Ye Chuan now, but his extroverted personality was the best in scheming and making a strategy. With him around, Ye Chuan could discard a lot of tedious matters and concentrate on cultivation. At night, after the earth was shrouded in darkness, people had already sunk into a deep sleep. At that time, Ye Chuan who had been cultivating all along suddenly opened his eyes. He then disguised himself in black clothing and jumped out of the window. After smoothly sneaking into Heavenly Yao Sect, now, the most important matter was to find out where Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was locked up! As long as he could find her, everything else would be much easier to handle! Chapter 592: Exploring Heavenly Yao Peak at nigh t Under the cover of night, Ye Chuan flew towards the deeper area of Heavenly Yao Peak, passing big and small palaces, courtyards and grooves. His speed was faster than using a flying sword. After a while, he suddenly stopped as there was not even a space to crawl forward. Although the defense of Heavenly Yao sect appeared lax, it was, in fact, just a disguise. In the inner areas of Heavenly Yao Sect, he now discovered that the security was very tight. There were patrolling guards everywhere. Even in some unremarkable places, there might be lookouts. Even a slight carelessness might expose his whereabouts or even step into a trap, activating restrictions. Ye Chuan quickly noticed how amazing Heavenly Yao sect¡¯s defense was. Some of the lookouts were later stage Daoist Master realm experts who could be the leader of some small sects. They were very sensitive. If other people were in his place, then even if he was Peak Daoist Master realm expert or even Half Sage realm expert, they might not walk out freely like this, but Ye Chuan fearlessly did so. On one hand, relying on his own strength and rich experience, he could see through details that ordinary people couldn¡¯t discern the differences, in addition, his knowledge of restrictions also made him avoid many big and small traps; on the other hand, he also had a map in his hands. The map given to him by Heroic Alliance¡¯s Huainanzi Zhao Ying was truly accurate. The terrain and defensive measures of Heavenly Yao Sect marked on the map were all accurate. With this map, Ye Chuan was able to avoid many dangers and lookouts, quietly advancing forward. Now, Ye Chuan was not certain about what scheme Heroic Alliance was plotting, but their intelligence gathering ability was undoubtedly first-rate. They were even able to plant spies in Heavenly Yao Sect, this kind of major sect, and learn their defensive measures clearly, needless to speak about small sects and duchies. After passing a fake mountain, Ye Chuan stopped under a big tree and stood in the dark, leaning against the tree. He then spread open the map and observed it under the illumination of dim moonlight that spilled through leaves and branches. According to the marks on the map, the mountain peak he was on now was called guests receiving peak. It was the place especially used to receive guests by Heavenly Yao Sect. Although it was already within Heavenly Yao Sect, it was far away from the core regions of Heavenly Yao Sect. There was at least the distance of half an hour from here to the main peak, Heavenly Yao Peak. Over millions of years, Heavenly Yao Sect had gotten more and more powerful, and the territory of the sect was also expanding rapidly. Taking a straight path, the distance would be the shortest, but it was not easy to take this path. It was filled with layer upon layer of restrictions; Taking the left path, detouring Guest Receiving Peak, Large Stone Hill and Heavenly Finger Peak, also can reach Heavenly Yao Peak, but there were numerous guards along the way; Taking the right path, there were not many guards in comparison and was also a bit remote, but, he needed to pass through Elder Peak. That was the place where Elder Tianqing¡¯s dwelling was located¡­ Ye Chuan carefully observed the map, finding three paths to Heavenly Yao Peak. Each path had its advantages and disadvantages. In particular, the right path. It made him recall a formidable opponent, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s deacon, Elder Tianqing. Last time when he came to Heavenly Yao Sect to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, he had a big conflict with Elder Tianqing, nearly coming to blows. Finally, White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi personally appeared and calmed down the storm. Now, if he wanted to forcibly save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, then the first person to disagree would be Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, and without the latter¡¯s suppressing, if Elder Tianqing saw him, then wouldn¡¯t he go insane and attack him? Ye Chuan slightly hesitated and quickly decided against taking the right path. It was not that he feared Elder Tianqing as unlike in the past, he could deal with Peak Daoist Master realm Elder Tianqing. If by chance Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t defeat him, then he could escape this old fellow. He just didn¡¯t want to deliberately complicate an issue. After considering for a while, he decided against taking the left path too. Although he was disguised, there was a busy flow of people in that path. If by chance someone noticed his true identity, then that would be troublesome. Since he decided against both right and left paths, only the middle straight path surmount the Guest Receiving Peak was left! Ye Chuan put the map away and quickly set out towards the peak. Along the way, he encountered many guards walking back and forth with a torch in their hand, furthermore, hidden lookouts in the dark, but avoided all of them. After a little while, a towering summit appeared in front of him and he was about to jump over, at that time, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly resounded, ¡°Brother Wang, the competition will start soon, the first match is tomorrow. In this competition, who do you think will become the champion?¡± The hoarse voice came from a low shrubbery in the front-left. It was less than ten meters away from the location of Ye Chuan. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Another vigorous voice resounded and a bald head came out from behind the shrubbery. After looking all around for a while, the head was retracted. Ye Chuan hid behind a big tree as a conditional reflex, and holding his breath, he calmed down and restrained his aura and energy fluctuation. But, beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead. Just a moment ago, if he was even a little slow, then he would have been discovered by that bald head hidden behind the shrubbery. What is going on here? His divine sense couldn¡¯t sense any living things in the front, and there was also no marks on the map given to him by Heroic Alliance. How could a hidden lookout suddenly appear here? Ye Chuan was shocked and sweated profusely, understanding he was somewhat careless. At first glance, it would appear that there was no abnormality in the front, just a common shrubbery. But, upon careful look, clear footprints could be seen nearby, in addition, faint dark mist could be seen hovering around the shrubbery; a weak energy fluctuation was rippling in the air. They were two mobile hidden lookouts. Moreover, in a hidden location, Dark Bat Restriction was laid. Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes shone. He immediately calmed down and carefully spread out his divine sense, quickly understanding what was going on. In order to strengthen the defense, many sects adopted the method of mobile hidden lookouts. They would frequently change their position, making it difficult to pinpoint their location. Although the intelligence gathering ability of Heroic Alliance was first-rate, it was impossible to identify the places where every mobile hidden lookouts might appear. The mobile hidden lookouts along with restriction to hide aura and traces were even more difficult to guard against. Dark Bat Restriction, it couldn¡¯t be considered a powerful restriction, but it had a unique power to conceal traces and aura. In addition, it could fuse seamlessly with the surrounding area. Often, it would be so flawless that it would be hard to be detected even if one was walking past right past it. This was a unique merit law of Heavenly Yao Sect passed down to elite disciples. No matter how outstanding the outer sect disciples were, they would never have a chance to cultivate it. Strictly speaking, this merit law was something he robbed from an evil spirit called Dark Bat Queen after beheading her. After mastering this merit law, he had passed it on to the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect, and the latter passed it on to her personal disciples, thus passing down from generation to generation. Millions of years had passed, Ye Chuan had practically forgotten about this merit law, but beyond his imagination, he suddenly encountered it here and almost fell for it. ¡°There is no one, Brother Wang, didn¡¯t I say you, you are too cautious. Even those great devils who killed people like flies outside become submissive and obedient like a cat in our Heavenly Yao Sect, who would dare to create a disturbance in our Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± A hoarse voice resounded again. And after a yawn, he added, ¡°So sleepy, every time there is a matter, we, disciples of Hill Patrolling Hall, are most unfortunate. We should work around the clock but the reward is minimal, just some crystal cores per month which is not even enough to use for half a month. The Law Enforcement Hall with the closest relation to Elder Tianqing however is completely opposite, no need to work around the clock but their reward is highest. It is like this every time and a certain someone is still claiming Law Enforcement Hall is the fairest, humph, humph¡­¡± ¡°Shut up, Xiaoma, do you dare to speak carelessly about even Elder Tianqing? Don¡¯t you know, since heavenly maiden was imprisoned, sect issued a decree, all disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect must not make any presumptuous remarks about higher-ups? Are you not afraid that you will be thrown into Heavenly Yao Cave like heavenly maiden never to see the sun again all your life?¡± The disciple called Brother Wang used his hand to block his partner¡¯s mouth, lest he would invite a disaster. Upon hearing the three words ¡°Heavenly Yao Cave¡±, Xiaoma who was bellyful of complaints trembled and no longer dared to speak. Heavenly Yao Cave? Behind a tree, Ye Chuan who was preparing to make a detour suddenly stopped. The objective of this late-night trip was to scout the whereabouts of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he had never expected to hear the news before even reaching the Heavenly Yao Peak. Chapter 593: Infatuated Beauty Late at night, the top of mountain was quiet. After nervously looked around for a while and confirming there was no one around, the older disciple called Brother Wang relaxed. The younger disciple called Xiaoma also sighed in relief. ¡°Xiaoma, fortunately, there are no other people here, otherwise, if you were reported to Law Enforcement Hall, then you would be finished.¡± The older disciple shook his head. The young people after all were young, they didn¡¯t know what they should speak and what they shouldn¡¯t speak. Heavenly Yao Sect had a strict hierarchy, speaking badly about elders like this was a crime. If someone else had heard what was said just now, then not to mention this stupid Xiaoma, even he would have lost a layer of skin if not died. ¡°Thank you for warning me, Brother Wang, but¡­¡± The younger disciple gratefully thanked and asked after a pause, ¡°Brother Wang, that legendary Heavenly Yao Cave, is it truly that terrifying?¡± ¡°According to the rumor, even a Half Sage realm expert imprisoned there will collapse and die, now you say, is it terrifying or not?¡± The older disciple replied with a hint of terror. His rank was not much higher than the younger disciple beside him, merely, he had stayed in Heavenly Yao Sect for a long period of time. He had heard many things other younger disciples didn¡¯t know. After remaining silent for a while, he sighed, ¡°Allegedly, Heavenly Maiden went mad not long after she was imprisoned there. Sometimes, she would continuously mutter to herself, and sometimes, she would continuously call out a name. In the past, Heavenly Maiden had a limitless future, but now, she is just a prisoner that will never see the sun again. Her strong cultivation base was also destroyed, ai, it¡¯s a pity, if anyone else was in her place, they might have already collapsed and died not long after¡­¡± Speaking about Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, the older disciple shook his head and sighed. Every generation Heavenly Maiden, if there was no accident, then she would definitely become the Heavenly Empress, the supreme existence of Heavenly Yao Sect above all elders and deacons. Hong Zixia was young and beautiful. Her cultivation was also outstanding, although not comparable to elders who had cultivated for thousands of years, even the personage on the same level of Elder Tianqing who had the great authority over the sect, they had to be courteous to her because Hong Zixia was this generation¡¯s Heavenly Maiden which was the unique status. Once White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi broke through to Sage realm and left to Outer World, Hong Zixia would have become the new Heavenly Empress. At that time, Heavenly Empress Hong Zixia would have become the ruler of the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. No one in the sect would be comparable to her! But, everything changed overnight. When State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng had gone to the south and attacked Cloud Mist Sect, in order to save Ye Chuan, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had given up her everything. Her status, her fame, her future as well as her life, everything was gone. Her cultivation was destroyed and she was suppressed below Heavenly Yao Peak never to see the sun again. This was worse than the death, naturally, the death was also only a matter of time. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a pity, such a beautiful Heavenly Maiden, the future Heavenly Empress, has fallen like this!¡± The younger disciple sighed. It had not been long since he entered Heavenly Yao Sect and had only seen Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia once from the distance. At that time, he had never thought that such a beautiful and noble woman would fall to such an extent overnight. ¡°By the way, Brother Wang, you said that Heavenly Maiden has gone crazy and continuously calls out a name, what is that name?¡± After feeling pity, the younger disciple Xiaoma was very curious. He truly couldn¡¯t think of what kind of person could make the woman like Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia remember him even though she had already gone crazy. Was it her parents? Or, close relatives? Or, her master Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi? Does she want to beg for forgiveness from Heavenly Empress? ¡°Xiaoma, are you thinking of Heavenly Maiden Zixia calling for Heavenly Empress? Pleading for forgiveness and freedom?¡± The older disciple Brother Wang asked. ¡°Yes, isn¡¯t that so?¡± The younger disciple nodded his head. ¡°In the beginning, I also thought so, but later, I learned that I was wrong, very wrong, it¡¯s beyond the expectation of everyone, ai¡­, according to rumor¡­¡± The older disciple shook his head and sighed again. ¡°Who is it? Who is Heavenly Maiden Zixia calling?¡± The younger disciple asked closely. He was very curious. ¡°That is.., a man¡¯s name.¡± The older disciple replied. ¡°Ah¡­¡± The younger disciple Xiaoma exclaimed and blurted out, ¡°It¡¯s her lover, right? No, impossible, Heavenly Maiden Zixia is so beautiful and noble, which man in the world is worthy of her? Even the millennium generous, son of heaven Bu Dugeng who recently had advanced by leaps and bounds might also not¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not the son of heaven Bu Dugeng, that man¡¯s name is, Ye Chuan.¡± The older disciple replied. ¡°Ye Chuan?¡± The younger disciple Xiaoma was confused. Even after racking his brain, he was unable to think of this person. ¡°I heard he is that disciple of Cloud Mist Sect who had caused havoc In Heavenly Yao Sect several years ago.¡± The older disciple Brother Wang reminded. ¡°I know, my god, it turned out to be him! No wonder¡­¡± The younger disciple suddenly realized. When Ye Chuan had caused havoc in Heavenly Yao Sect, he had yet to join Heavenly Yao Sect, but, after he joined, he had a lot of things. Everyone said that he was bold and braggart, but he was hated and also respected by them. At that time, Ye Chuan who was still young in age had come alone and actually got into a fight in Heavenly Yao Sect. According to the rumor, he killed an elite disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect, faced Elder Tianqing who had the power over the sect undaunted, and threatened to eradicate the foundation of Heavenly Yao Sect in turn. He used unknown tricks to actually activate the ancient restriction of Heavenly Yao Sect which even many disciples didn¡¯t know, shaking the entire sect. Finally, Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi came out personally to quell the matter. Then, after the battle of wits, he actually was able to borrow a Heaven Burning Furnace, a peerless treasure known to suppress the fate of Heavenly Yao Sect! Speaking about Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, all the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who witness his antics respected and also hated him. All the younger generation disciples who had always been proud and aloof thinking they were the best in the world were pulverized by Ye Chuan. How could they not hate him? But, thinking about it again, they also admired Ye Chuan. If they were in Ye Chuan¡¯s position, then not to mention acting wildly in Heavenly Yao Sect, this kind of cultivation overlord, they wouldn¡¯t even dare to casually break in and run amok in an unqualified small sect? Aside from cultivation, the courage and boldness of Ye Chuan were peerless. Even among millions of youths, there might not be the second person with such courage and boldness. It was no wonder that Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia fell for him. Women often only needed appearance to please men, but as for men, if they truly wanted to make a woman adore them deeply, then just the courage and boldness of average person was useless, one should be bold enough to act and to take the consequences, i.e., the so-called the true quality of a hero. ¡°Yes, such a man can always fascinate the interest of women. I truly had never thought that such a declining Cloud Mist Sect would actually produce a remarkable disciple like that. Even Heavenly Maiden Zixia¡­, ai, it¡¯s a pity, Heavenly Maiden who was like a sun at high noon fell just like this. She had already gone crazy but still remembers him, such a deep feeling however is hard to part with. Ai¡­¡± The older disciple sighed again. ¡°Yes, ever since the ancient times, beautiful women suffer unhappy fates, perhaps, because Heavenly Maiden Zixia was too outstanding and too beautiful, this is heaven¡¯s punishment for her, it¡¯s a pity¡­¡± The younger disciple also sighed again. The two hide in the shrubbery and talked in a low voice, unaware that there was a person lurking less than ten meters away. ¡°Zixia, I harmed you¡­¡± Behind a tree, Ye Chuan quietly listened to the conversation of these two disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect and was petrified. His eyes however were red and his nose turned sour. He tightly clenched his fists and was dying to immediately rush into Heavenly Yao Cave to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. He could pay any price just to see her! Chapter 594: Forbidden Area Perhaps, it was a boring slow and long night, perhaps, it was because they didn¡¯t think anyone would come here, those two hidden lookouts chatted in the shrubbery, feeling sorry for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was beautiful, noble and refined. In the heart of younger disciples, she was an unattainable celestial maiden. In the heart of older disciples, she was not much different. Suddenly, this unattainable celestial maiden fell from the clouds and become a prisoner, suppressed below Heavenly Yao Peak, never to see the sun again. What¡¯s more, everything was because of a man. One could well imagine the sensation caused by this news. In the beginning, Heavenly Yao Sect did their utmost to block this news, but how long can this kind of news be blocked by manpower? It didn¡¯t take long before this news was spread throughout the sect. Everyone was talking about it in secret. The younger disciples who argued endlessly if something happened in the past rarely had identical views this time. They were full of pity and sympathy for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Ever since ancient times, no one had returned alive after they entered Heavenly Yao Cave. Aloof and remote Heavenly Maiden actually had such a bad end. People truly couldn¡¯t bear this. In public, the disciples didn¡¯t dare to speak anything, also didn¡¯t dare to point the finger at supreme existence, White Haired Heavenly Empress. But, they showed much disapproval towards Elder Tainqing who had a personal hand to push Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia into Heavenly Yao Cave. Perhaps, at that time, if Elder Tianqing had moved a bit slower, or perhaps, helped request mercy, then Heavenly Empress might have been lenient, after all, they were master and apprentice. But, Elder Tianqing did nothing, he remained cold and indifferent. There even was a rumor that when he had personally pushed Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia into Heavenly Yao Cave, there was a hint of ferocious smile on his face. It had already been two years, many matters were already forgotten, but the matter of Heavenly Maiden was not subsiding at all. Someone would frequently mention this matter in the sect. People were full of sympathy towards Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, and at the same time, people were also curious about Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple who had made Heavenly Maiden infatuated with him. In particulars, many female disciples secretly inquired about Ye Chuan¡¯s circumstances everywhere. Come even quietly went down the mountain and went to Cloud Mist Sect to see what kind of person Ye Chuan was. For some time, the rumors rose from all directions until Elder Tianqing got angry and ordered that no one was allowed to mention this matter anymore. Thus, this farce slowly passed. Late at night, it was darker and darker and the wind gradually became bigger. The two disciples shrunk back and talked in whisper while lying on the shrubbery. While speaking, the younger disciple noticed that the complexion of the older disciple was strange. He immediately got up to look. At an unknown time, a tall and straight figure was standing behind them. When these two were not paying attention, Ye Chuan had quietly arrived behind them. The younger disciple subconsciously touched the horn hanging on his waist wanting to sound the alarm. But, the figure in front of his eyes flashed and a tentacle-shaped whip lashed this young disciple and the horn hanging on his waist was destroyed. Instantly, these two disciples felt chill and trembled. ¡°Xiao¡­, Xiaoma, don¡¯t move!¡± The older disciple said in a trembling voice while looking at Ye Chuan who had quietly appeared in front of their eyes. They were so afraid that they didn¡¯t dare to move. Under the pressure of Ye Chuan, they were almost unable to breathe. Quietly appearing here, what does this mean? It meant that Ye Chuan had come here with a bad intention, what proved his thought more was they were unable to see through Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation base. The older disciple also wanted to sound the alarm, but he knew that, if he moved even a little, then he would be killed. Only Xiaoma-like fool who had just entered the sect would try to make a move in this circumstance. Just a moment ago, that whip had just brushed past Xiaoma, but it broke that horn. The younger disciple Xiaoma also came back to his senses and his teeth chattered in fear. Ye Chuan wore black clothing and was wearing a big bamboo hat, thus, he face couldn¡¯t be seen. In addition, his action was as quiet as a ghost. From just that whip-lashing, they knew that this person could easily kill them. ¡°Where is Heavenly Yao Cave?¡± Ye Chuan asked. His tone was cold and his pressure increased, making these two disciples tremble even more violently. ¡°It¡¯s¡­, it¡¯s below Heavenly Yao Peak.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, below Heavenly Yao Peak.¡± The two disciples rushed to answer fearing they would lose their heads if they were slow to answer. ¡°Stop speaking nonsense, who doesn¡¯t know it is below Heavenly Yao Peak? This lordship is asking exact location below Heavenly Yao Peak. What are the signs around? How many experts are stationed there? What kind of restrictions and traps are there?¡± asked Ye Chuan coldly like a God of Slaughter. The two disciples trembled even more violently. They were also sweating profusely. Finally, the older disciple who was in slightly better condition toughened his scalp and said, ¡°Your¡­, Your Excellency, this, we also¡­, also don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t know?¡± Ye Chuan stepped forward and his energy fluctuation suddenly rose along with dense killing intent, ¡°You are the disciples of Mountain Patrolling Hall, but you actually don¡¯t know where Heavenly Yao Cave is?¡± ¡°Your Excellency, we truly don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°Ever since ancient times, Heavenly Yao Cave is the forbidden area of our Heavenly Yao Sect. Only Elders can approach there, as for entering the cave, only Heavenly Empress is allowed. Your Excellency, we only know that Heavenly Yao Cave is below Heavenly Yao Peak, and it is a large area shrouded in white mist. We don¡¯t know anything else!¡± The two disciples¡¯ legs turned soft and fell to their knees. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was imprisoned in Heavenly Yao Cave never to see the sun again. There was no one who didn¡¯t know this in Heavenly Yao Sect, but as for where exactly Heavenly Yao Cave was located, what was its appearance? No one knew other than Elder Tianqing and White Haired Heavenly Empress. It was very likely that even Elder Tianqing couldn¡¯t tell the exact location, he might only know the general location. According to the legend, only Heavenly Empress could enter Heavenly Yao Cave. As for all others, Heavenly Yao Cave was an unknown and terrifying world. It was a forbidden area where living people didn¡¯t dare to approach! ¡°If you two know nothing, then there is no reason to keep you two alive.¡± Ye Chuan coldly said and suddenly used a technique. Then, the two disciples kneeling on the ground felt the situation was bad and just when they wanted to beg for mercy, a cyan light flashed and they disappeared. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t directly kill these two people, rather imprisoned them into his Cyan Lotus Space. For these two disciples, it was a completely unfamiliar world. If they wanted to survive, they needed to overcome many difficulties, but it was much better than getting killed on the spot. They would have never thought that the sympathy they showed towards Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia during their conversation had saved their life. If they were the loyal subordinates of Elder Tianqing, then Ye Chuan had killed them without any hesitation. ¡°Below Heavenly Yao Peak, place shrouded in white mist¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and turned away, dashing towards the cliff of Guest Receiving Peak. He then looked down the dark cliff whose end couldn¡¯t be seen and jumped down after taking a deep breath. Behind him, a cold wind blew over and rustling sounds came from the shrubbery. After that, other than a few faint footprints, all the traces of the disappearance of two hidden lookouts vanished. Chapter 595: Little Yao Lake After jumping down the summit, Ye Chuan fell faster and faster. But, just before he hit the ground at a high speed, a pair of wings suddenly appeared on his back and he gently landed on the ground. Afterward, he rushed into the forest and disappeared, flying towards Heavenly Yao Peak. A group of patrolling guards happened to be walking nearby with a torch. Among them, the last guard felt something and quickly turned around, but, he just vaguely saw a hit of red light flashing past in the middle of the night, then nothing else. He rubbed his eyes and watched again, but saw nothing. He thought that it was just his misconception and keep up the pace with others. The path straight to Heavenly Yao Peak was shortest in distance, but was also most difficult to travel. This path was rugged and uneven. Not to mention high and low peaks, cliffs and canyons, there furthermore were many guards and restrictions. Among them, there was no lack of powerful killing formations and traps that even a Half Sage realm expert wouldn¡¯t be able to easily escape. With such a layer upon layer of restrictions, even a mosquito would find it hard to fly over, but, Ye Chuan accomplished it. Relying on Remex Armguard and extraordinary movement technique coupled with his wealth of experience, Ye Chuan avoided many dangers, flying straight forward. After more than half an hour, he smoothly arrived at the foot of Heavenly Yao Peak. Looking up, this Heavenly Yao Peak was towering. Like a giant of ancient times that never fell, it stood on this patch of earth. There was a winding path that began from the foot of the mountain. This was the main path leading to the summit of Heavenly Yao Peak, known as Heavenly Yao Avenue. On both sides of this path, there were many palaces. The worldly qi in this place was dense to an unbelievable extent. It was at least ten times denser than Guest Receiving Peak. The people that could cultivate in those places were not ordinary people. Not even elite disciples were qualified to enter them. Only senior deacons who had made a major contribution to the sect were qualified to cultivate in them. The one who occupied the palaces closer to the summit had higher statues. As for the summit, there was only one palace, that was the famous Heavenly Yao Hall. ¡°Heavenly Yao Peak, Heavenly Yao Avenue, Heavenly Yao Hall¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself with myriads of feelings in his heart. Even after millions of years, Heavenly Yao Avenue where he could walk freely with his eyes closed didn¡¯t seem to have any change, still had an original appearance. Merely, the palaces were the same, but the people inside the palaces weren¡¯t the same, the scenery remained the same but the people were changed. In the past when he came to Heavenly Yao Peak, a sea of people came to welcome him. Even Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress had personally welcomed and waited upon him. Now, he could only disguise himself and gingerly sneaked in. Looking at the familiar and also unfamiliar Heavenly Yao Peak, Ye Chuan was somewhat absent-minded as if he returned to millions of years ago. A few years ago he had already come to Heavenly Yao Sect to borrow the Heaven Burning Furnace. At that time, he also sighed with emotion and became absent-minded; now, it was still the case again. Some matters couldn¡¯t be remembered when wanted to remember, but some matters couldn¡¯t be forgotten when wanted to forget. In the past, Ye Chuan had poured a lot of painstaking efforts on this peak, and too many matters also happened on this peak. In addition, those years together with Blue Eyed Yao Empress, how could he forget even if he wanted to forget? Along with a rustling sounds, a group of patrolling guards walked over with a torch. Absent-minded Ye Chuan immediately came back to his senses and quickly hid behind a rockery. After those guards left, Ye Chuan cautiously walked out and no longer watched Heavenly Yao Hall at the summit in a daze. He looked around and rushed towards a distant place shrouded with white mist. Looking from some distance, it was a calm and clear lake without any waves. That was a Small Yao Lake which had already existed for millions of years, and coordinates with Heavenly Pond above the snow-capped mountain where White Lady resided. Heavenly Pond was the natural product, but this Small Yao Lake was excavated artificially. Looking at this clear lake, those words said by Blue Eyed Yao Empress suddenly appeared in the mind of Ye Chuan. ¡°I don¡¯t beg to stay young forever, don¡¯t beg to set foot on the summit of cultivation, I just wish to be a small yao beside you, monarch and accompany you, monarch all my life.¡± Even after millions of years, this Small Yao Lake was still beautiful as if a sleeping beauty lying below the Heavenly Yao Peak. The willows on the shores were rustling as if telling the story of Blue Eyed Yao Empress. A cold wind blew and Ye Chuan felt a chill, waking him up from the daze. He took a deep breath and discarded all the distracting thoughts. There was a strange white mist spreading between Small Yao Lake and the foot of Heavenly Yao Peak. Although Small Yao Lake was already there millions of years ago, there was no white mist and also not Heavenly Yao Cave. At that time, Heavenly Yao Sect was a paradise of Wilderness World. Along with Blue Eyed Yao Empress, the sound of happiness and laughter of all women could be heard everywhere in the sect. Very often, Ye Chuan was the only man in the entire sect. At that time, Heavenly Yao Sect basically was equivalent to a summer resort for Ye Chuan. He came here to play around, and Cloud Mist Sect was the place to cultivate talented individuals. But, after millions of years, the circumstances had changed. Heavenly Yao Sect was no longer the former Heavenly Yao Sect and Cloud Mist Sect was no longer the former Cloud Mist Sect. Ye Chuan shook his head and took a deep breath again. At that time, he suddenly noticed that he unconsciously became absentminded here for no reason. This had never happened before. He had never encountered such a matter before when he had come here to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace last time. This was the scene which recalled past memories, was his impression of Small Yao Sect too deep? Or to say, a large restriction was laid here? In addition, the odd matter was not only limited to Heavenly Yao Cave and that white mist? Ye Chuan had a thought and calmed down his heart. Then, after a while, he carefully observed the lake¡¯s white mist again. This time, he really saw a gate. At first glance, this Small Yao Lake still appeared exactly the same as that Small Yao Lake of millions of years ago along with the willows on the shore as if they remained intact even after such a long period of time. But, upon careful observation, Ye Chuan noticed an astonishing aspect. All willows were fake without the slightest breath of life. In addition, these willows that seemed to be planted randomly, in fact, formed a huge restriction, covering the entire Small Yao Lake. The core of the formation was inside that strange white mist, very probably, that so-called Heavenly Yao Cave! Ye Chuan gradually became solemn. The more he observed, the more shocked he was. That huge restriction in front of him reminded him of a place. Ancient grave worlds of Sea Demon Clan¡¯s holy land had similar huge restrictions. This restriction technique was completely different from the frequently seen restriction techniques of Wilderness World. After watching for a good while, even he, former Heaven Concealing Great Sage, who had extensive knowledge and experience was unable to see through this technique. What¡¯s more, after observing for a while, he felt dizzy and absent-minded, moreover, he began to see illusions. The feelings of millions of years became stronger and stronger. Indistinctly, the words said by Blue Eyed Yao Empress seemed to linger in his ears as if she had never left, rather waiting for his return below the lake, continuously calling his name over and over again. Chapter 596: Quanqing Region The sounds of waves entered the ears of Ye Chuan and he came back to his senses. When he looked around, he discovered that he had already walked into the lake. The lake water had already submerged his chest. If he had taken several more steps, then he might have submerged under the water. In the originally calm and clear lake, waves had appeared at an unknown time. Those waves were at least a dozen meters tall and slammed against the reef at the shore. The ear-deafening sounds resulted from this had awakened Ye Chuan from the daze. So powerful! Who was it that laid down such a powerful restriction? Ye Chuan was greatly shocked and a chill ran down his spine. Afterward, he quickly retreated. The restriction of Small Yao Lake was far more powerful than his expectation. The slightest carelessness made him absent-minded and get lost in illusions. When he woke up, he found that he had already entered the lake. Ye Chuan had never encountered such a restriction. It was even more powerful than the restrictions in the ancient grave worlds of Sea Demon Race¡¯s holy land. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did waves appear on the lake even though there is no wind?¡± ¡°Look, it¡¯s not normal waves, it¡¯s taiji vortex. Quick, quickly report to elders!¡± The patrolling guards nearby quickly noticed the unusualness of the lake and became restless. Some had already guarded this place for over ten years, but they had never noticed such strange waves. Standing on the shore, they only saw the waves, but standing on ta high place, they discovered that the entire Small Yao Lake was had strange vortexes everywhere which set off waves. In addition, there was an indescribable energy fluctuation in the air. This fluctuation was neither weak nor strong, but had a strong penetrative power. Even when standing over one thousand meters, one¡¯s heart would involuntarily beat rapidly for a moment and slowly for the other moment, making people scared. The unusualness of the lake made seniors of Heavenly Yao Sect turn pale with fright. Upon hearing the news, they immediately rushed over and the number of people increased here. Ye Chuan had already left under the cover of the night and was hiding in the willow forest, quietly watching the changes. A large number of torches approached from far away. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a large group of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s elites flew over. A black-robed old man was in the foremost of this group. Although he was old in age, he was full of energy and his eyes blazed like torches. But, at this moment, he looked completely indifferent, there was neither fear nor anger on his face. ¡°We pay respect to Elder Tainqing!¡± Upon seeing this black-robed old man, the guards and disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect on the scene bowed and saluted in succession. After White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi who held the power entered seclusion, Elder Tianqing was the one who overrode other deacons and elders and controlled Heavenly Yao Sect. Upon hearing the news, he quickly rushed over. Since Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was sent to Heavenly Yao Cave, the authority of this old man had become stronger. White Haired Heavenly Empress cultivated in seclusion throughout the year, appearing before the public very rarely. Therefore, he basically had the final say in the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. Now, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s subordinates and formerly neutral sect experts either had acted tactfully and submitted to him or had suffered a ruthless purge, thus, the entire Heavenly Yao Sect was basically become his single-word shop, only he had the say in all matters. ¡°What happened? What is odd with Small Yao Lake?¡± Elder Tianqing looked all around and coldly asked. Speaking about strangeness, the large numbers of vortexes and towering waves of the lake had instantly disappeared. The lake had return to its usual calmness. Not to mention terrifying vortexes, there was not even a single ripple. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s guards and disciples lowered their head. No one dared to look straight at Elder Tianqing. Just a moment ago, the lake surface was terrifying, but now, it was calm and tranquil. No one knew what was going on and also didn¡¯t know how to explain to Elder Tianqing. ¡°It is a grand sacrifice competition tomorrow, now, it is the time to display our sect¡¯s strength and bearing. There are guests everywhere, the sects all over the world have rush over upon hearing the news to congratulate us. In this critical juncture, why are you all creating a disturbance without any reason? How long has it been since Heavenly Maiden created the disturbance? The bad characters had just disappeared and you all are anxious to challenge the sect¡¯s authority? This lordship has been in Heavenly Yao Sect for several thousand years, become a great deacon elder from a smalltime outer disciple, but how come I have never heard of something taiji restriction and also never heard of unusualness in this Small Yao Lake?¡± Elder Tianqing was furious and he ferociously glared at everyone present here as if he wanted to pick out the person who secretly wanted to create a disturbance. The disciples present here hung their head low. They were so scared that they were trembling. During the disturbance of Heavenly Maiden, Elder Tianqing had displayed his iron-blooded method. All those from elders to outer sect disciples who cried injustice for Heavenly Maiden suffered a bloody purge. Afterward, he represented White Haired Heavenly Empress and controlled the entire sect. He used ruthless slaughter to seal other¡¯s mouth. Even after several years, the disciples could clearly remember that bloody scene. Thereafter, Elder Tianqing who held the power in his hand became all the more arrogant and those who dared to defy his orders were thrown into the prison or became a dead person. Now, this old man was furious. Once someone was misunderstood by him, it would be the end of him. ¡°What, are you all became mute?¡± Elder Tianqing scolded loudly. His face was full of anger and killing intent. In his heart, he however was proud. He was very satisfied with the reaction of these disciples as this proved that Heavenly Yao Sect was still firmly under his control. He paused for a bit and looking at an expert standing in the midst of the crowd, he said, ¡°Man Wenjun, if this lordship didn¡¯t misremember, you are responsible for this area today, isn¡¯t that so?¡± ¡°Yes, Elder Tianqing, today is my turn on duty, but, just a moment ago, there indeed¡­¡­¡± The guard leader Man Wenjun braced himself and replied. Everyone could see beads of sweat on his forehead. But, the result, before he finished speaking, Elder Tianqing waved his hands and several experts rushed up in a crowd and grabbed him. ¡°Throw him into the sky prison, after the great sacrifice competition, I will trial him in public! At such a crucial moment, everybody must stand fast at their post, don¡¯t readily believe the rumor, and don¡¯t spread more rumor, all those who defy will be beheaded!¡± Elder Tianqing cold glance around and left. Among his so many words, the final sentence was the focal point, all disciples on the scene understood that and they firmly bore that in their mind. The guard leader Man Wenjun attempted to struggle, but even though his cultivation was outstanding, later stage of Daoist Master realm, the bodyguards of Elder Tianqing were clearly more powerful. He was suppressed quickly and dragged away. Poor guard leader, just because he was impartial and incorruptible and didn¡¯t try to get the favor of Elder Tianqing in the past, the latter took advantage of this chance to purge him. ¡°Accused wrongly, you accused me wrongly¡­¡± ¡°Tianqing, you dog, you will not have a good death!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ The guard leader Man Wenjun roared and crushed, accompanied by a sad and shrill scream. Throwing into the prison was not any different from executing, it was only a matter of time. Elder Tianqing who was flying away, stepping on a flying sword stopped upon hearing the curse of Man Wenjun. ¡°Elder, should I behead that fellow who spread fallacies to deceive people?¡± A bodyguard took this chance to fawn Elder Tianqing. ¡°No, throwing into the prison is enough, in addition¡­, immediately send the most elite guards to guard our important places day and night from now on, strictly forbid anyone from approaching!¡± Elder Tianqing solemnly ordered. ¡°Elder, could it be that that Small Yao Lake truly had¡­¡± The bodyguard exclaimed. ¡°Man Wenjun, that fellow is Heavenly Maiden¡¯s trusted subordinate, this is certain, it is useless to conceal it. But, unusualness in Small Yao Lake, he wouldn¡¯t dare to lie publicly about this kind of big matter, and he also doesn¡¯t have the ability to create disturbance afterward.¡± Elder Tianqing sneered. Then, muttered to himself, ¡°Heavenly Yao Sect will stand tall until trouble arises in Small Yao Lake, this is an ancient rumor, can it be real? Can it be that our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s fate truly is¡­¡± ¡°This won¡¯t do, after grand sacrifice competition, our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s fate is sure to be higher. Elder, should we ask instructions from Heavenly Empress?¡± The bodyguard asked. ¡°no, don¡¯t disturb Heavenly Empress for the time being. Talking about our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s fate, humph, all is the fault of Heavenly Maiden and that boy surnamed Ye of Cloud Mist Sect. If it was not for him forcibly borrowing and destroying Heaven Burning Furnace that suppressed our sect¡¯s fate, how could our Heavenly Yao Sect have so many issues?¡± Elder Tianqing coldly said with deep resentment as his entire group quickly disappeared into the night sky. They were entire unaware of a tall figure below them. ¡°Heavenly Yao Sect will stand tall until trouble arises in Small Yao Lake¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and looked at the lake with hesitation. Now, he was certain of one thing. When he was trapped in God Burial Valley for such a long period of time, Heavenly Yao Sect definitely had some great changes. Someone did something in Small Yao Lake, but who was that person? Did Blue Eyed Yao Empress personally lay down this restriction or someone else? And what was the purpose behind it? He also didn¡¯t know this. Still, if he wanted to look for the whereabouts of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, then he had to face dangers of Small Yao Lake. Should he go or not? Standing at the shore of this Small Yao Lake, Ye Chuan hesitated. Chapter 597: Taiji Vortex Ye Chuan didn¡¯t consider for too long, he quickly made the decision. He quickly went straight towards that place shrouded in white mist below Heavenly Yao Peak. Just a moment ago, Ye Chuan had clearly heard all the words spoken by Elder Tainqing. Soon, a large group of Heavenly Yao Guards will seal off Small Yao Lake. Among the numerous experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, Heavenly Yao Guards were the elites. But, Small Yao Sect was already dangerous and there were powerful restrictions around it. Breaking into Small Yao Lake bode ill rather than well. However, if he didn¡¯t go now, then after a large group of Heavenly Yao Guard arrives, he might not have a chance to go in even if he wanted to go later. ¡°Eh, what is that? Someone is breaking into Small Yao Lake, quick, quick¡­¡± A disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect who had gone to the shore to relieve himself had just untied the belt. But, before he could let it out, he suddenly heard a vague unusual water sounds and turned around to watch. He just happened to see Ye Chuan¡¯s figure shrouded in a dark cloak and a big bamboo hat. He was flying across the lake surface, stepping on a willow branch. The disciple rubbed his eyes and watched again, after that, he shouted loudly. A large group of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples rushed over upon hearing the noise with drawn swords in their hand. ¡°Who? Where?¡± ¡°Zhang Bin, why are you hollering? Where is the person on the lake surface?¡± The people looked around but saw nothing. The lake surface was also very quiet. Not to mention a human figure, there was not even a flying bird could be seen. There was not even a single ripple on the water surface. ¡°Just¡­ just now, there was a black-cloaked person on the lake surface, how¡­¡± The young disciple named Zhang Bin was also dumbfounded. He was also nervous, thus, he stuttered when speaking, moreover, forgot to pull up his pants. There were some female disciples among the group that rushed over. They didn¡¯t see the so-called black-cloaked person, rather saw that sloppy toy dangling below the hips of this young disciple Zhang Bin. They were embarrassed and cursed him, then quickly turned away. ¡°Zhang Bin, what exactly happened?¡± An experienced and steady disciple who looked like a leader walked out and said solemnly, ¡°Don¡¯t be frightened and create a disturbance, if you alarm Elder Tianqing, then you are well aware of the consequences, right? Speak, what exactly happened? Did you see anyone?¡± The group of disciples that were making all sorts of comments quieted down. Just a moment ago, the scene of guard leader Man Wenjun being thrown into Heavenly Prison, everyone had seen it. Tomorrow, the grand offering competition would start, so numerous large sects had sent people to congratulate and participate in this competition, now, it was not the best time to create a disturbance. They must not let anything bad happen. If the rumor was spread, then they would become the laughing stock in the entire world, and the consequences would not be something anyone could bear! ¡°Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, just now¡­ just now, I saw a black cloak person running on the water surface, going straight towards the opposite side.¡± The young disciple Zhang Bin replied, telling the truth. ¡°Are you sure?¡± The person called senior apprentice brother Wu questioned closely with a frown. The disciples clustered around simultaneously paused and had a bad feeling as if something would happen tonight. Small Yao Lake which always used to be calm suddenly had great changes. Countless earth-shaking taiji vortexes had appeared. But, when Elder Tianqing had rushed over upon hearing this news, the lake, however, was already calm, the result, he ordered guard leader Man Wenjun to be imprisoned. And now, just after Elder Tianqing had left, the so-called black-cloaked person appeared. Was this coincidence, or¡­ These disciples who were ordered to patrol around this area became anxious. ¡°Yes, I am sure, that person was tall. He wore dark night cloak and a big bamboo hat. Although I was unable to see his cultivation realm, he is definitely a great expert.¡± The young disciple Zhang Bin replied. The back view of Ye Chuan had left a deep impression on him. He would never forget it. ¡°Does that mean someone has indeed broken in? Perhaps, he was an assassin, or perhaps, he is a spy that came to spy on our Heavenly Yao Sect!¡± As a leader, senior apprentice brother Wu paused and added, ¡°Ever since ancient times, there are restrictions on the lake surface of Small Yao Lake, even Half Sage experts are unable to directly fly past it. Using a flying sword is also useless. From this aspect, it is very likely that there is a person operating from within with that black-cloaked person, and prepared the Heavenly Yao Boat in secret. No wonder, he was successful, but where is he going and what does he want to do? Can it be that he wants to go to¡­¡± The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect looked at each other, feeling nervous. There was only one place on the other side of the lake, that was the ancient forbidden area of Heavenly Yao Sect, Heavenly Yao Cave! ¡°Senior apprentice brother Wu, that person didn¡¯t use Heavenly Yao Boat, he¡­ he was stepping on a branch to fly across.¡± The young disciple replied. ¡°What? That¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡°Yes, Zhang Bin, not to mention you were feeling very urgent to piss, you also have a blurred vision.¡± ¡°This kid, if you frighten us like this again, I will beat you to death!¡± The people scolded the young disciple Zhang Bin. Now, everyone was clearly relaxed. It was clear that Zhang Bin was dazzled and rang a false alarm, so they cursed him and left in succession. Small Yao Lake always had a calm and tranquil environment, but the restrictions of this place were very unique. No one could fly in the sky above this lake. Using the flying sword was useless, even normal boats couldn¡¯t float, they would just sink. According to the legend, even a feather also couldn¡¯t float on this lake surface, therefore, the lake surface appeared especially clean without any debris floating on it. Both inside and outside the sect, the only thing that could freely move on the lake surface was specially made Heavenly Yao Boat, and in the entire Heavenly Yao Sect, there were only a few of them. It was the only tool to enter the forbidden area, Heavenly Yao Cave. In the event of someone quietly sneaked in and stole a Heavenly Yao Boat to forcibly break into the forbidden area, Heavenly Yao Cave, then the matter would be troublesome. It would definitely be a big deal. Even if one had to lose one¡¯s head, one had to toughen one¡¯s scalp and quickly report it. But, according to this young disciple, the person was using a branch to float across the lake surface, that was ridiculous. This kid had dim eyesight for sure. ¡°Senior apprentice brother Wu, I am speaking the truth. There really was a black-cloaked person stepping on a branch¡­¡± The young disciple urgently sore that was not his hallucination. ¡°Enough, pull up your pants and continue to patrol. Zhang Bin, this senior apprentice brother has some words of advice, don¡¯t tell about this matter to anyone else later. Of course, if you truly believe that it was not your hallucination, then you can go to report to Elder Tianqing in person, let¡¯s see whether elder will believe you or not, heh heh¡­¡± Senior apprentice brother Wu who was in charge of this group coldly laughed and walked away. He led everyone to continue patrolling. He wasn¡¯t patient enough to continue hearing the nonsense of Zhang Bin. Behind, the young disciple Zhang Bin stood still in a daze for a good while. Just thinking about the terrifying ending of guard leader Man Wenjun, he trembled and ran over. Afterward, he caught up to everybody and close his mouth shut. He no longer dared to utter a word. Even now, he still believed that he was not hallucinating for sure, but who would believe him? Obviously no one, thus, he could only shut up for the best. Looking at the young disciple Zhang Bin, the other laughed and cracked a few jokes as they went away with a torch in their hand. At that time, the senior apprentice brother Wu who was walking in the foremost suddenly stopped and his ears stood erect. Behind, from the direction of Small Yao Lake, sounds of water were coming. It was exactly the same as before. He hastily climbed over a tall place and looked, lifting the torch in his hand. Immediately afterward, the calm Small Yao Lake had waves along with taiji vortexes. Not long after, those vortexes became larger and larger as the raging waves slammed against the shore. Chapter 598: Yinyang Life Wheel These numerous disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect panicked and returned to the shore of Small Yao Lake. Upon seeing the sudden appearance of raging waves, all of them were nervous and restless. This was the second time tonight something unusual had happened in this lake. What was going on in his lake, should they report it? The disciples were panicking in their heart. Senior apprentice brother Wu was also the same. In this kind of circumstances, they had to sound the alarm, but that might alarm to guests of other various big sects too. In addition, they had just seen the ending of guard leader Man Wenjun, so who dared to report this to Elder Tianqing? However, if they don¡¯t report this, them if something truly happened later, then who could take the responsibility? The raging waves slamming against the shore were getting taller and taller, and the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were getting more and more concerned. They didn¡¯t; know what to do next. Fortunately, not long after, someone helped to quickly resolve this issue. The elite Heavenly Yao Guards quickly rushed over with a torch. The one leading this squad was the trusted subordinate of Elder Tianqing, the master of Law Enforcement Hall Xiahou Qing. He was very thin and was wearing a black robe. He looked like someone who was riddled with diseases, but was sharp like a knife. No one dared to look straight at him. With eagle nose, deep eyes and sinister complexion, he made other people feel the pressure. In the storm of Heavenly Maiden, he had convicted unknown numbers of people and thrown them into the prison. He was the absolute trusted subordinate of Elder Tianqing! ¡°You all, disperse and guard the surroundings, strictly forbid anyone unconcerned from entering and leaving this place, leave this place this us.¡± Xiahou Qing coldly ordered, watching the waves that were getting bigger and bigger. He then personally sent out a signal to ask Elder Tianqing for help. ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone bowed and received the order. They were finally able to relax and retreat. Meanwhile, many sect experts continuously rushed over here from all directions. In addition to Xiaohou Qing who led the experts of Law Enforcement Hall, the experts of Mountain Patrolling Hall, Weapon Refinement Hall, Internal Affairs Hall and other halls rushed over in succession. Ordinary disciples and guards were ordered to withdraw to the second line of duty, dispersing to surround the entire Small Yao Lake, strictly forbidding any strangers to enter and exit. Now, it was absolutely impossible to not alarm the guests of other sects, so they could only find ways to minimize the effect and prevent other people to take advantage of this situation to sneak in and create an additional disturbance. More and more experts of Heavenly Yao Sect arrived beside Small Yao Lake, and upon seeing the current situation of the lake, all of them looked restless. Meanwhile, under the cover of the night, Ye Chuan also looked solemn. At an unknown time, a pair of blood-red wings had appeared on his back and stepping on a branch, he was advancing in the midst of raging waves. His figure also moved left and right to dodge the waves falling from the sky and taiji vortexes on the lake surface. It had not been a long time since Ye Chuan had entered the Small Yao Lake, but he was already in great danger. Just the light branch in itself wanted to sink under the indescribable suction force coming from below the lake, merely, with his high-speed mobility, he was able to remain afloat with great difficulty. Adding his own weight, it was even more dangerous. There was a powerful resection above the lake surface, under the lake surface was also the same! Ye Chuan quickly understood what was going on. At this moment, the best option was to turn around and return to the shore to leave this place, but thinking about Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he gritted his teeth and continued forward. He stimulated the Remex Armguard and used Cyan Feather Technique to fly above the lake surface. He toughened his scalp and rushed into the dense white mist above the lake. When he finally arrived at the middle of the lake, noises came from behind along with towering flame. Heavenly Yao Guards and the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect had arrived here. It was impossible to turn around now. Crash, waves continuously fell towards Ye Chuan. At this moment, Ye Chuan was already drenched and great concern and fear shrouded his heart. If he accidentally fell into the taiji vortex, then he might really lose his life and be buried at the bottom of the lake. At this critical moment, the mist of Remex Armguard was displayed once again. This treasure he obtained in Flying Fish World of Sea Demon Clan¡¯s holy land made him avoid these dangerous vortexes. In addition, like a feather, he drifted above the lake surface. Although he moved left and right to avoid vortexes, his direction never changed. He slowly approached his destination. ¡°Look, there is someone on the lake surface!¡± ¡°Impossible, who can tread through the lake? Much less at this time!¡± ¡°There is truly someone, quick, report Elder Tianqing and start Heavenly Yao Boat!¡± ¡­¡­¡­.. At the shore of the lake, the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect climbed a tall place and watched over. And someone with sharp eyes vaguely saw Ye Chuan¡¯s figure flying just above the lake surface. In the midst of the waves, it was not clear, but there was truly someone on the lake surface. Law Enforcement Hall Master Xiahou Qing personally saw this, then ordered the guards to start the Heavenly Yao Boat. Afterward, after hesitating for a while, he personally led a group of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts and sailed through the waves, taking all remaining three Heavenly Yao Boats. While dodging the taiji vortexes left and right, Ye Chuan suddenly sensed something. He turned around and saw three boats speeding towards him. Upon seeing those boats, Ye Chuan crazily circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and the blood-red wings on his back flapped rapidly as he accelerated forward. Because of the raging waves, the vision was not good, but the blood-red wings of Ye Chuan attracted the attention of the experts, and Heavenly Yao Boats increased their speed. They were much faster than Ye Chuan. Fast! It would be troublesome if caught! Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion of stretched taut. He crazily drove Remex Armguard to increase his speed to the limit and finally, gritting the teeth, he jumped over a taiji vortex and charged straight towards the place where Heavenly Yao Cave was located. He felt stifled at heart, could hardly take a breath, and at the same time, distracting thoughts broke out in his mind. Even the sign of heart demon began to appear. Moreover, along with a weightlessness feeling, his four limbs seemed to be aching and limp, making him feel inexplicable uncomfortableness and dazed¡­ The moment he jumped over a taiji vortex, Ye Chuan felt inexplicable uncomfortableness and the absent-minded state appeared again. He quickly became powerless and was about to be swallowed by taiji vortex. But, once his leg made a contact with ice-cold lake water, Ye Chuan, fortunately, came back to senses and used all his strength to drive Remex Armguard and escaped. Now, there was only less than a hundred-meter distance. At this moment, the three boats were still over a thousand meters away, so they were already too late to intercept. Boom! When Ye Chuan was about to successfully break into the forbidden area where Heavenly Yao Cave was located, a loud sound of explosion suddenly came from below the lake surface setting off a hundred meters tall wave appeared. Then, a huge shadow began to slowly surface, blocking Ye Chuan¡¯s way. It resembled a broken-down warship and also a ferocious big fish. A black and a white, different colored radiances were flickering like a huge taiji pattern. Ye Chuan suddenly stopped. He sensed a familiar aura in this huge shadow. Inside the final grave world of Sea Demon Clan¡¯s holy land, he had sensed this aura, it was the aura of Lost City¡¯s fragment. ¡°Lost City¡¯s fragment! Kid, still not collecting it? This is the Lost City fragment you have been looking for, extremely important Lost City¡¯s fragment, the legendary Yinyang Life Wheel!¡± The voice of Octopus Empress suddenly resounded in the mind of Ye Chuan. At the same time, the temperature of that Octopus Talisman began to rise rapidly. Far away, Octopus Empress trapped in the ancient grave world also sensed the aura of Lost City¡¯s fragment via Ye Chuan and became incomparably excited. Chapter 599: Chained hound A sense of strong danger appeared in Ye Chuan¡¯s heart, but he maintained balance, flapping his wings. And after carefully sensing for a while, Ye Chuan noticed that this danger was not coming from Yinyang Life Wheel that suddenly emerged and blocked his path, rather was coming from the Small Yao Lake itself. After Yinyang Life Wheel appeared, the might of Small Yao Lake¡¯s restrictions had become much stronger and gave rise to much higher waves. Although his wings were flapping rapidly, Ye Chuan still felt that he was slowly sinking and a powerful force was pulling him down. Even circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body was also not helping much. Not to mention flying away, he was even unable to struggle free. In addition, it was getting harder and harder to flap his wings. First, his soles touched the water surface, then his feet, ankles¡­ little by little, his body was sinking. Yinyang Life Wheel that had just emerged from the lake also sunk little by little. The black and white radiances continuously flickered alternatively, and with every flash, a loud explosion sound resounded and the might of restriction became stronger. This fragment of Lost City was also bound to the restriction! Perhaps, the ferocious ancient restrictions on this lake were also to suppress this fragment of Lost City! Ye Chuan suddenly felt like he was vaguely understanding what was going on. Most probably, a long time ago, after Sea Demon Clan¡¯s holy land Lost City was broken into pieces, a fragment might have fallen into this Small Yao Lake. And perhaps, this fragment was too detrimental to Heavenly Yao Sect or they wanted to seize this treasure someday, Heavenly Yao Sect first laid down these powerful restrictions to forcibly suppress Yinyang Life Wheel. Heavenly Yao Cave shrouded in white mist was also created after this, and was evolved into a forbidden area later! Ye Chuan thought quickly, but he didn¡¯t have much time to think more. He used all his strength to resist this powerful restriction. Once he sunk into the lake, not to mention obtaining this Lost City fragment and finding Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he might even lose his life. After being suppressed for millions of years, Yinyang Life Wheel might still be completely intact, but once a person was drowned to the bottom, even his bones might not remain intact! Ye Chuan struggled with all his strength, but not only he was unable to withstand the pressure of the restriction, he sunk even more. Soon, he was already submerged to his knees, and not long after, the water level will reach his thighs, then his chest and his head. Large beads of sweat appeared on Ye Chuan¡¯s forehead. With each waves hitting him, his body submerged more. ¡°Quick, that kid can¡¯t run, quickly arrest him!¡± ¡°Be aware of that huge shadow, that is the legendary Wheel of Curse, whoever touches it will be plagued with bad luck!¡± Xiahua Qing shouted and the three Heavenly Yao Boats sailed rapidly towards Ye Chuan. After the appearance of Yinyang Life Wheel, the restriction had gotten more powerful. Neither Ye Chuan not Yinyang Life Wheel was able to escape the strong pressure. They were even sinking. But, no one knew what materials were used to build these three boats, they were completely unaffected by this restriction. Clearly, a genius of Heavenly Yao Sect had forged these treasures to especially counter the restrictions of Small Yao Lake. ¡°Catch him alive, use chains!¡± Xiahou Qing loudly ordered and personally used an over ten meters long rune chains. The experts of Heavenly Yao Sect stood up in preparation. Each boat had five experts and each expert had a rune chain. Instantly, fifteen experts ferociously glared at Ye Chuan who couldn¡¯t move. The three Heavenly Yao Boats continued to advance, and when they saw they were about to collide against that huge Yinyang Life Wheel, the three boats suddenly changed the direction, creating huge waves that squeezed Ye Chuan. And at the same time, fifteen chains flew out and accurately bound Ye Chuan¡¯s hands, legs, chest, neck and other places. They wanted to capture Ye Chuan alive and interrogate him at the shore. Law Enforcement Hall was especially responsible to arrest and trial the disciples who violated the sect¡¯s rules. And this chain was the best thing to tie them. Looking at over a dozen chains flying towards him, Ye Chuan crazily circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, but it was useless. Under the strong pressure of the restrictions, he could let those chains bound him. ¡°Hahaha, let¡¯s go! Bring back this fellow and deliver him to Elder Tianqing to open a public trial in Heavenly Yao Hall. Let¡¯s see where he came from, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Xiahou Qing roared with laughter. Then, the three Heavenly Yao Boat turned around, wanting to drag Ye Chuan to the shore. Ever since ancient times, Small Yao Lake had powerful restrictions, only Heavenly Yao Boats could enter it. Within Heavenly Yao Sect, this was an open secret, even disciples knew it. Even Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi had to use Heavenly Yao Boat if she wanted to enter the Heavenly Yao Cave. In so many years, no one had ever dared to set foot on this lake without using Heavenly Yao Boat. Therefore, Xiahua Qing was curious about Ye Chuan¡¯s identity, cultivation and even his intentions. He couldn¡¯t wait to drag him to the shore and interrogate. He also must do this, otherwise, if he just let a stranger breaking into his sect¡¯s forbidden area off, then where could they hide their face? In addition, what qualification would they have to claim that they were the first sect under heaven? The three boats had turned around and the rune chains that were binding Ye Chuan began to squeak. After sneaking into Heavenly Yao Sect, he had yet to even see Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, how could he let them capture him? Ye Chuan was unwilling. He raised his head and roared while crazily circulating the Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. In an instant, all fifteen rune chains stretched tightly and those three boats suddenly stopped. They were unable to advance. The brute strength of 216,000 jin coupled with the pressure of restrictions made Ye Chuan erupt with such a strength that he was able to stop those Heavenly Yao Boats. Those boats were unable to drag Ye Chuan away. After erupting with such a strength, his muscles twisted and veins became green as if they were about to explode. Blood began to seep out from his hands, legs, chest and other places bound by those rune chains, and the rune chain that bound his neck made him unable to breathe as if his neck was about to be broken. ¡°Eh, this kid is ferocious, attack with flying swords!¡± Law Enforcement Hall Master Xiahou Qing was angry and shocked by the amazing strength of Ye Chuan. Afterward, with one hand still holding the rune chain, he used the other hand to brandish his flying sword, wanting to use a killer move to injure bitterly struggling Ye Chuan. The situation of Ye Chuan who was barely able to hold-on became even worse. The terrifying restriction and the chains that bound his body were already exhausting him enough, once those fifteen experts use their flying swords to attack, he would be slaughtered without a chance to resist. ¡°Boy, kill them, take that Yinyang Life Wheel for this lord, quick!¡± An angry voice suddenly resounded in Ye Chuan¡¯s mind. That was the voice of Octopus Empress. At the same time, the Octopus Talisman within Ye Chuan¡¯s body swelled and boiled over. Then, a huge octopus phantom appeared behind him and an incomparable strength above Half Sage realm poured into his body. That was the power of Sage realm expert. It was the power that had already disappeared for millions of years in Wilderness World! Chapter 600: A behemoth At the critical moment, Octopus Empress finally made a move. Although her true body was thousands of miles away in Overseas World, relying on Octopus Talisman within Ye Chuan¡¯s body, she could use a secret technique to give a small portion of her power to Ye Chuan. Although it was a small portion for her, it was more than enough for struggling Ye Chuan. Roar! Ye Chuan roared and his strength rose rapidly. The chains that bound him squeaked, and they either broke or were pulled back by Ye Chuan. The experts standing on the Heavenly Yao Boat were shocked and immediately chose to let go of the chain. But, some of them were too slow to react and fell into the lake. Once they fell into the water, these experts sunk and disappeared without a trace. ¡°Sage realm might, how is this possible?¡± On the three Heavenly Yao Boats, the remaining experts were greatly shocked. Xiahou Qing was also frightened and looked pale. The energy Ye Chuan exploded with was from Octopus Empress who was a genuine Sage realm expert. This made others so fearful that they couldn¡¯t even have a will to resist. Clang, the sound of chains resounded. Ye Chuan took advantage of this moment and threw the chain binding his body. Some of the experts were unable to dodge in time and were knocked into the lake, then drowned quickly. At the same time, a tinge of blood light shot out from Ye Chuan¡¯s body and pierced through the chest of several experts in succession. Then, they also fell down to the lake while screaming. Ye Chuan had taken advantage of this moment to counterattack using his sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. These experts of Law Enforcement Hall had outstanding cultivation base, but none of them was a Half Sage realm expert, all were just Peak Daoist Master realm or Rank 7 Daoist Master realm. Although they could flaunt their strength with this cultivation level, it still paled in front of Ye Chuan. After breaking through to Peak Daoist Master realm and condensing twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans, Ye Chuan could practically sweep through the same cultivation realm. One could say that he was the strongest person below Half Sage realm. Although the twelfth Heaven Swallowing Talisman, Octopus Talisman, was not condensed via his own effort, rather was forcibly condensed by Octopus Empress and he was unable to freely control it, it still gave him a powerful strength. Just a moment ago, under the pressure of Small Yao Lake¡¯s restrictions, Ye Chuan was finding it hard to even move, and these numerous experts of Law Enforcement Hall took advantage of that moment to bind him with chains. But, once Octopus Empress made a move to help him break through the restriction and greatly increased his strength, the chance to counterattack appeared. He used thunderclap means to quickly kill these unprepared experts. Buzz! The wings on the back of Ye Chuan vibrated and Ye Chuan flew in the sky. He wanted to rush over and kill all the remaining experts of Law Enforcement Hall. ¡°Boy, there is no time, concentrate your strength to take Yinyang Life Wheel, quick!¡± Octopus Empress¡¯s voice resounded in the mind of Ye Chuan. The restrictions of Small Yao Lake was too powerful. She would not be able to sustain providing energy to Ye Chuan for a long time. When Ye Chuan was killing others, Yinyang Life Wheel, however, was already sinking back into the lake. If he didn¡¯t make a move now, then this fragment of Lost City would disappear into the lake again. Afterward, no one knows when it would reappear again, and because of the powerful restrictions of Small Yao Lake, it would be impossible to go underwater to obtain it. Ye Chuan who was about to rush over suddenly stopped. He then forcibly suppressed his killing intent and impulse to kill Xiahou Qing, and turned to the huge Yinyang Life Wheel. An ancient and majestic energy fluctuation blew against his face, it was laced with vicissitudes of time and a trace of unwillingness¡­ Unlike ordinary treasure, this ancient fragment had a unique aura which resembled the vitality aura of a very old man.In addition, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know what was going on, but when he carefully look at the decorative patterns on the Yinyang Life Wheel, Ye Chuan could feel that his soul was shaking and his spirit became absentminded. A whistling sound broke his daze state. ¡°Attack, use flying swords to kill him!¡± Law Enforcement Hall Master Xiahou Qing shouted loudly and took the initiative to throw the sword towards the chest of Ye Chuan. ¡°Boy, don¡¯t stare at Yinyang Life Wheel, your current soul level cannot contend with it, quick, put it away!¡± The voice of Octopus Empress resounded again and the energy being supplied to Ye Chuan began to decline. But, taking advantage of the time when Ye Chuan was resisting the pressure of the restrictions, Octopus Talisman suddenly erupted with power and thousands of tentacles appeared, blocking those flying swords. Ye Chuan, however, floated still above the lake surface. He didn¡¯t care about the wounds on his back, and just started to circulate Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. He then looked at the sinking Yinyang Life Wheel and suddenly exploded with power. Then, Yinyang Life While began to move upward little by little again. Small Yao Lake churned and even bigger waves appeared. Even the disciples standing at the shore of Small Yao Lake felt the tremor as if the entire Heavenly Yao Sect was shaking, and even more disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect rushed over from all directions. Some experts who stayed in seclusion throughout the year also woke up suddenly and rushed over. ¡°Not good, this brat is not spying on our Heavenly Yao Cave, he is here to seize our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s treasure!¡± ¡°Stop him, kill him!¡± The remaining Law Enforcement Hall¡¯s experts turned pale with fright, and under the lead of Hall Master Xiahou Qing, they gritted their teeth and attacked ferociously. Although only seven were left, they attacked ferociously with their flying swords and cut off the tentacles protecting Ye Chuan. In an instant, sword qi rippled in the air and they even drove Heavenly Yao Boats to directly ram into Ye Chuan. ¡°Boy, quick, hurry up, don¡¯t waste time!¡± The voice of Octopus Empress in the mind of Ye Chuan urged him to hurry. The energy that was being provided to Ye Chuan was already declining. It needed to resist the powerful pressure, also deal with the ferocious attacks of Xiahou Qing and others, in addition, also needed to help Ye Chuan retrieve Lost City¡¯s fragment, Yinyang Life Wheel. Even Octopus Empress was finding it hard to sustain. Because of distance and being bound by a restriction in the ancient grave world, she was unable to supply more energy, thus, the situation suddenly became tense. Ye Chuan, however, said nothing, and also ignored the attacks of Xiahou Qing and others. He also didn¡¯t react to the urging of Octopus Empress, he just concentrated on Yinyang Life Wheel. His merit law changed faster and faster, and also became more and more complicated. This treasure collecting technique, even Octopus Empress was unable to understand it. Under his effort, more and more part of Yinyang Life Wheel began to surface. After a short while, an unimaginably huge behemoth gradually appeared in front of people. It was at least half as big as the entire Small Yao Lake. The originally visible part was just a corner of an iceberg. Chapter 601: Heavenly Yao Cave ¡°What is that? The legendary Curse Wheel?¡± ¡°Below Small Yao Lake, there actually was such a huge behemoth?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ On the edge of the lake, the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect were stunned. Looking over, they saw an unimaginably huge behemoth rising from below the Small Yao Lake. It covered more than half of the sky and made people feel pressure as if a huge mountain above their head. The Small Yao Lake suppressed a Crush Wheel. After it was unearthed, it would bring bad luck to the sect. Many people knew this ancient legend. But, no one had ever thought that the Curse Wheel was so huge. This was not a Curse Wheel, rather a Curse Mountain! After the loss and destruction of Heaven Burning Furnace that claimed to suppress the sect¡¯s fate, Heavenly Yao Sect suffered troubles continuously until White Haired Heavenly Empress made a move to suppress the stormy waves; now, this Curse Wheel that claimed to be cursed by the ancient curse was unearthed, what did that signify? Later, what kind of bad luck would Heavenly Yao Sect suffer? People were shocked. Recalling the ancient legend, they felt restless. On the lake, Xiahou Qing, the Hall Master of Law Enforcement Hall, was also shocked. He was even more shocked than the disciples standing on the shore. Being the people who were closest to such a huge Yinyang Life Wheel when it burst out of the water, they were the first to be affected and were incomparably shocked. They forget to make a move for a moment, and also didn¡¯t dare to make a move, the Yinyang Life Wheel was too terrifying. The voice of Octopus Empress had also disappeared as if she was also shocked by the huge size of Yinyang Life Wheel! Only Ye Chuan was still continuously using a merit law. His forehead was already covered with sweats, and his back was dyed red with dripping blood. ¡°Treasure people¡¯s feeling, the vast power of limited life, collect for me!¡± After a good while, Ye Chuan shouted loudly and spat out a mouthful of essence lifeblood. Then, the huge Yinyang Life Wheel vibrated violently and shrunk rapidly, becoming smaller and smaller. Finally, it shrunk to the size of a shield and changing into a wisp of cyan light, it entered into Ye Chuan¡¯s body and disappeared. At the same time, Ye Chuan groaned in a low voice and his eyes emitted black and white light respectively as if they turned into a pair of taiji yinyang eyes, making people feel strong danger. ¡°Good, well done, boy, now, quickly run!¡± The voice of Octopus Empress resounded in his mind and the energy of Ye Chuan began to disappear rapidly. Even though her cultivation was already heaven-defying, she was also not omnipotent and she couldn¡¯t help Ye Chuan for much longer. She was very far away, in addition, was bound by an ancient restriction, just being able to transfer a small part of her power to Ye Chuan was already amazing. But, this small amount of energy couldn¡¯t last long. Ye Chuan took a deep breath and a pair of wings on his back flapped rapidly and he flew away. But, beyond the expectation of everyone, he didn¡¯t turn to the shore, rather flew straight towards the not distant forbidden area of Heavenly Yao Sect, shrouded in thick fog, Heavenly Yao Cave. After successfully obtaining Yinyang Life Wheel, a fragment of Lost City, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t forget the objective of this trip. Tonight, until he found the whereabouts of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he was unwilling to leave. Even after suffering severe injuries, Ye Chuan had expended a large amount of vitality in order to obtain Yinyang Life Wheel. Now that the energy of Octopus Empress had begun to fade, he immediately began to feel the pressure of Small Yao Lake¡¯s restrictions. Perhaps, because Yinyang Life Wheel was taken away, the power of restriction was even stronger. Ye Chuan spared no effort to keep balance and rush towards Heavenly Yao Cave. ¡°Boy, what are you doing? Do you want to die?¡± Octopus Empress was startled and also angry. She loudly berated Ye Chuan. Along with the reduction of her energy on Ye Chuan, she voice had also gotten indistinct, leaving behind only an angry roar. Ye Chuan, however, said nothing, completely ignoring the angry roar of Octopus Empress. ¡°Quick, chase him, this brat is injured and will not last long!¡± Xiahou Qing, the Law Enforcement Hall Master, came back to his senses and coldly ordered to chase after Ye Chuan. The flying sword in his hand also pulsated as if it wanted to ferociously stab through Ye Chuan¡¯s chest. But, when the distance between them was just 20 meters, before they could make a move, Ye Chuan plunged into the thick fog. Behind, the three Heavenly Yao Boat, however, suddenly stopped at the edge of this thick white fog and didn¡¯t dare to reckless follow in. Small Yao Lake was very dangerous. If one accidentally falling into the water, then even if one was the Peak Daoist Master realm expert, he would certainly die without a doubt. But, Heavenly Yao Cave shrouded in a dense white mist at the edge of the Small Yao Lake was even more dangerous. It was the forbidden area of Heavenly Yao Sect. Accidentally entering Heavenly Cave was worse than dying directly! Xiahou Qing who considered everyone beneath his notice had no choice but to angrily stop the chase. His looked sinister and gloomy. After hesitating for a while, he raised his hand and shoot a signal arrow, requesting reinforcement from Elder Tianqing again. This matter had already developed far beyond his expectation and control. Curse Wheel that was sealed below Small Yao Lake ever since ancient times was stolen, in addition, an outsider had broken into Heavenly Yao Sect. The matter had gotten worse and it absolutely couldn¡¯t be sealed off. Tomorrow was the grand sacrifice competition, but in such a critical moment, this kind of matter happened. In addition, they were unable to capture that single person. Now, Heavenly Yao Sect that claimed to be the foremost under the heaven would become a laughing matter, Elder Tianqing who control the sect would definitely become furious! Outside the thick fog, more experts from various peaks rushed over, and arranged layer upon layer of defenses with Small Yao Lake as the center. At the same time, the also began to strictly interrogate and examine guests that came to participate in the grand sacrifice competition. They wanted to find where that intrude had come from? Far away in Guest Receiving Peak, Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others woke up. Upon seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s room was empty, they vaguely understood what was going on, but a large number of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciple suddenly came over and heavily sealed off Guest Receiving Peak. It was practically impossible to join up with Ye Chuan. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Diamond Ape King and others were worried, but they were forced to stay calm and wait patiently despite Heavenly Yao Sect trying to find the whereabouts of Ye Chuan by sealing off all places. Inside the thick fog, Ye Chuan continued to fly forward, looking for the so-called Heavenly Yao Cave with his divine sense. He was entirely unaware of the big disturbance outside. But, he wouldn¡¯t care even if he knew. The entire objective of this trip was to rescue Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was suppressed below Heavenly Yao Peak never to see the sun again. He absolutely wouldn¡¯t give up halfway! ¡°Zixia, Zixia¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan looked around while loudly calling out the name, trying to sense the aura of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Because of thick fog, his field of vision was very limited, the range of divine sense was also a few meters. Without a doubt, there were powerful restrictions here. After fumbling all around, Ye Chuan suddenly felt chill from behind. He turned around to look and saw a cliff with a dark grotto. Above the grotto, three words ¡®Heavenly Yao Cave¡¯ were carved. Chapter 602: Ancient Cave Dwelling Ye Chuan who had risked his life all along the way was stupefied like wooden chicken. It was not because of the three words ¡°Heavenly Yao Cave¡±, rather the pattern on the side. Over a period of a long time, this pattern carved on the wall was already blurred, but it was still recognizable, which was a bamboo. A thin bamboo branch and a piece of a bamboo leaf could be clearly identified. This was not a pattern, rather a unique symbol! Under heaven, only one person used bamboo as a symbol. She was none other than his follower, Blue Eyed Yao Empress, in other words, founder of Heavenly Yao Sect! Ye Chuan stood still in a daze. He was greatly shocked in his heart. He vaguely seemed to see a past scene. No one knew how Blue Eyed Yao Empress arrived here, she accidentally discovered a grotto. She then carved three large words ¡®Heavenly Yao Cave¡¯ on the cliff along with her symbol, wanting to build another cave dwelling here. When did Blue Eyed Yao Empress find this grotto? When did she leave? Blue Eyed Yao Empress liked this place definitely because of this land¡¯s feng shui. Later, he didn¡¯t know what happened but was abandoned, becoming the current forbidden zone. Ye Chuan was very confused. Suddenly seeing the symbol of his former follower Blue Eyed Yao Empress, his heart was stirred. Only after a good while, he slowly came back to his senses as a cold and gloomy wind that came from inside the grotto blow against his body. ¡°Zixia, Zixia¡­¡­¡¯ Ye Chuan loudly called out again. As he expected, there still was no response. But, after sensing around for a while, Ye Chuan could vaguely sense a familiar aura in that gust of cold wind. He even seemed to have heard the sounds of chains being dragged. That aura and that sound made Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes shone. He hastily bandaged the wounds on his back and boldly entered the cave after taking out Iron Blooded Banner. Whoosh¡­¡­ A cold wind blew against his face. After stepping into the Heavenly Yao Cave, Ye Chuan felt unusual coldness. His right leg was already feeling numb. There was a strange chill in Heavenly Yao Cave. Ye Chuan, however, took a deep breath and continued forward, gritting his teeth. Soon, both of his legs were numb, then half of his body. The cold qi rapidly spread all over his body. Even after circulating 12 Heaven Swallowing Talismans, he was having difficult to resist this cold qi. If he continued to stay inside Heavenly Yao Cave, then he might become an ice sculpture not long after. Ye Chuan took a step forward with great difficulty and looked around. Like outside, inside Heavenly Yao Cave was also filled with fog. But, upon looking carefully, he could see the vague outline inside. This grotto had elegantly decorated hall inside. There were carvings and paintings with the patterns of Wilderness World millions of years ago, everywhere on the walls. Around the hall, there were many different sized grottos. There were cultivation chamber, alchemy chamber, study, weapon storing chamber and so on. This place was not big, but all kinds of chambers were available here, everything needed was there. Looking up, it was enveloped in mist whose end couldn¡¯t be seen. Although the entrance was not big, it was a completely different world inside. One could well imagine that this place was used as a cultivation cave dwelling in the past. It was very likely that Blue Eyed Yao Empress had used all her powers to build this place, preparing to use for long term seclusion. Unfortunately, after millions of years, this huge cave-dwelling had became a discarded place. It was covered in dust, the walls and ceiling were full of spider webs, resembling a broken-down dwelling. ¡°Zixia, Zixia¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan called out loudly, but he was suddenly hit with a cold qi. He could feel that the cold qi had already invaded his internal organs. If he didn¡¯t leave now, then even his blood would freeze and he wouldn¡¯t be able to walk even if he wanted. It seemed that there were no other dangers inside Heavenly Yao cave other than this severe cold that was hard to resist. Ye Chuan was tense and restless as unspeakable feelings appeared in his heart. He had arrived at Heavenly Yao Cave with great difficulty, but he was powerless to walk forward and see Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. This was frustrating. In addition, seeing Blue Eyed Yao Empress¡¯s writings and her former residence, her heart had become heavier. Ye Chuan even had a vague feeling as if a woman was standing on the other end of this grotto watching him from the place he couldn¡¯t see due to the thick white fog. ¡°Boy, this cold qi here is very strange, leave now, otherwise, even this lord cannot save you, do you want to truly die here?¡± Octopus Empress¡¯s voice resounded in Ye Chuan¡¯s mind again. At this moment, her voice was already weak. Almost no energy of hers was left on Ye Chuan¡¯s body. If Ye Chuan stubbornly continued to walk forward, she would also be powerless to save him. ¡°Zixia, Zixia¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s nose turned sour. He was unwilling to leave and called out loudly again. At that time, Demonic Dragon Talisman within his body suddenly issued a vague dragon roar. This dragon roar pierced through the thick fog and was transmitted far away. After going through thick and thin together in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, Ye Chuan had not only fallen in love with Hong Zixia, he even had pair cultivation with her, comprehending Demonic Dragon Sutra left behind by Little Long¡¯er¡¯s mother, Agusiteli. Not to mention deep feelings between the two, as compared to Ye Chuan and Zhu Sijia, they had a unique connection and interaction. After Ye Chuan¡¯s all-out roar, his ears stood erect, listening attentively to any movement inside Heavenly Yao Cave. Soon, he was disappointed. There was no reaction inside Heavenly Yao Cave. He could neither sense Hong Zixia¡¯s aura not could hear any movement. After a good while, when all of his blood was nearly frozen, Ye Chuan finally had to withdraw. After taking rest for a while, he looked at Heavenly Yao Cave and sadly left, flying towards the lake. Now, he had to find a weak point to break out of the encirclement. After his figure disappeared into the white fog outside Heavenly Yao Cave, from the depth of Heavenly Yao Cave, a weak call along with iron chains movement sounds came. Unfortunately, Ye Chuan had already reached far away at this moment and heard nothing. Now, new difficulties and the pressure were placed in front of Ye Chuan. Returning to the lake surface again, the pressure of restriction surged. This time, without Octopus Empress¡¯s help, in addition, in the injured and exhausted state, it was especially difficult to resist the restriction. After crazily circulating all 12 Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he was barely able to fly above the lake surface. What¡¯s even worse was, he could see shining torches all around Small Yao Lake. Heavenly Yao Sect had laid out layer upon layer of defenses and sealed off this Small Yao Lake. The three Heavenly Yao Boats were also continuously patrolling on the lake surface. Once he was discovered, they would immediately launch ferocious attacks! A warm current came from his chest area which barely made Ye Chuan able to maintain the wings on his back so as to prevent from falling into the water. At this critical moment, Dragon Vein¡¯s Crystal given to him by White Dragon Sage brought a little bit of warmth in Ye Chuan¡¯s ice-cold body. Ye Chuan took out this Dragon Vein¡¯s Crystal, but after considering for a short while, he gave up refining it on the spot. He just gritted his teeth and continued to advance, hoping to escape under the cover of the night. Tonight, although he had taken a risk to break into Heavenly Yao Cave, his task was only half-complete. He was not even able to see Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, and he also had yet to encounter Zhao Tianbi, that White Haired Heavenly Empress. Dragon Vein¡¯s Crystal given to him by White Dragon Sage was a priceless treasure. If he refined now, his strength would naturally increase vastly and he would be able to rush out of the blockade of Heavenly Yao Sect, but, what about the following matters? At the critical moment when he was saving Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he would be intercepted by White Haired Heavenly Empress for sure, how should he deal with that? Ye Chuan was determined. Although tonight was a failure, without saving Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he absolutely wouldn¡¯t leave Heavenly Yao Sect, no matter how difficult it is! Chapter 603: Tight Encirclemen t The darkness shrouded the earth. The shore of the Small Yao Sect, however, was brightly lit with flames. Many Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples were holding a torch high while patrolling around the lake. Even though it was already the latter half of the night, the disciples, however, were full of fighting spirit as they patrolled around. The movement of tonight was honestly too big. Allegedly, Elder Tianqing was so furious that he transferred all the sect experts here. He wanted to catch that stranger who had broken into Small Yao Lake at all costs. According to the rumor, to prepare for all contingencies, Elder Tianqing had personally gone to request Taishang Elder to go to the forbidden area, Heavenly Yao Cave, looking for that intruder. Even if he had to dig three feet deep, he wanted to capture that uninvited guest. With Small Yao Lake as the center, Heavenly Yao Sect had laid out a tight encirclement. After dawn, there wouldn¡¯t be the cover of darkness and Ye Chuan¡¯s situation would be worse, in addition, even more experts would join this blockade! When there were just over two hours left for the dawn, a figure suddenly rushed out from the lake surface under the cover of the darkness. Like a gust of the wind, that figure quickly landed on the lakeshore. After observing for a long time, Ye Chuan finally made the decision to make a decisive breakout, choosing a place with a relatively weak defense. This was a sandy beach with numerous rocks. This area was infested by poisonous snakes. If someone was accidentally bitten by these snakes, then even a Daoist Master realm expert might not be able to escape alive. In former days, this place was deserted, but now, there were patrolling guards. No one thought that that uninvited guest would disembark here, so the number of guards was least here. Ye Chuan took advantage of this point. He didn¡¯t fear any poisonous snakes, instead fear being spotted by those experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, therefore, he wanted to use his fastest speed to break out of the encirclement. ¡°Who¡¯s there? Stop!¡± ¡°Look, it¡¯s him, block him!¡± The guards shouted loudly and an ear-deafening alarm resounded throughout the night sky. Although Ye Chuan was already sufficiently careful, the shore was brightly lit. It was impossible to slip away from this place without anybody knowing. Soon, a group of guards wearing heavy armor rushed over with torches in their hand. When they were 100 meters away, arrows whistled in the sky. At this moment, Ye Chuan had just rushed to the beach and was exhausted. They wanted to take advantage of this moment to kill him. The moment Ye Chuan¡¯s legs touched the lakeshore, he stored his Remex Arm Guard. On the lake surface, in order to resist the powerful restriction pressure, he had to use all his strength, so upon reaching the shore, he had to conserve his energy usage. Remex Arm Guard¡¯s power was great, but it consumed a large amount of vitality. He couldn¡¯t continue using it now. Swish, swish, swish, these ear-piercing sounds were especially loud at night. Ye Chua took a deep breath and his body suddenly swayed left and right, slowly fading away. In the next moment, he used Peerless Style Technique and instantly appeared ten meters away, out of their attack range. Afterward, Ye Chuan ran wildly. Even without Remex Arm Guard, he still had many extraordinary techniques. These guards were not capable enough to deal with him. What truly gave him misgivings were the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. A wisp of ice-cold sword light suddenly flew out from behind a rock, and a tall disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect jumped out and blocked the path of Ye Chuan. He ran into what he feared the most. A group of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples rushed over, stepping on a flying sword. The leader of this group was surnamed Wu, and his energy fluctuation was powerful. He was a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert. He was also famous among the disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect. Behind, Zhang Bin and other young disciples were following closely. ¡°It¡¯s him, senior apprentice brother Wu, it¡¯s him!¡± The young disciple Zhang Bin stopped and screamed. At first glance, he recognized Ye Chuan was that black-cloaked person he had accidentally seen when he went to empty his bladder before. He was also the uninvited guest that created havoc tonight. He was right, at that time, he really hadn¡¯t made an error. After seeing Ye Chuan in a dark cloak and a big bamboo hat, that young disciple Zhang Bin was excited. In addition, a kind of indescribable fear appeared in his mind and couldn¡¯t help getting nervous. He couldn¡¯t help it, Ye Chuan had just used a branch to traverse across the lake, that scene had left a deep impression in his heart. That was something even powerful experts couldn¡¯t achieve. ¡°Boy, you cannot run away, obediently surrender without putting up a fight!¡± Senior apprentice brother Wu was stern in both voice and countenance. He held a sharp sword firmly blocking Ye Chuan¡¯s path. Honestly speaking, he was also very nervous, more nervous than Zhang Bin and other young disciples behind him. What kind of personage was this intruder? He, however, was a sole person who was able to traverse across Small Yao Lake without using Heavenly Yao Boat throughout history. In addition, he forcibly intruded Heavenly Yao Cave and escaped unscathed, making Law Enforcement Hall Master Xiahou Qing eat a bitter loss. He was either a heaven-defying super expert, or an extremely ferocious great devil. No matter what his real identity was, how could his group of ordinary disciples deal with him? The leader senior apprentice brother Wu actually wanted to turn around and ran away. He truly wanted to pretend as if he had not seen Ye Chuan. But, thinking about the consequences and the means of Elder Tianqing, he had to toughen his scalp and step forward! ¡°I¡¯ll kill whoever stops me!¡± Ye Chuan coldly said and rushed forward. Senior Apprentice Brother Wu was helpless. He toughened his scalp and brandished his sword. Clang! Ye Chuan blocked his sword with a flick of his finger, then used his palm to attack senior apprentice brother Wu. With just a single palm attack, the latter¡¯s chest caved in and his ribs were broken. In addition, he was badly mangled and fainted on the ground as his life force became weaker and weaker. ¡°Senior apprentice brother Wu, senior apprentice brother Wu¡­¡± ¡°This devil is ferocious, use flying swords, everyone, use flying swords to kill him!¡± The young disciples were flustered. But, someone hastily took away dying senior apprentice brother Wu, and someone gritted his teeth and launched an attack with his flying sword. Unfortunately, they only saw Ye Chuan¡¯s figure flickering a few times and disappeared into the dark night. After condensing twelfth Heaven Swallowing Talisman and breaking through to Peak Daoist Master realm, Ye Chuan was already the strongest person below the Half Sage realm. Even in his seriously injured state, ordinary disciples were far from being his opponent. Senior apprentice brother Wu¡¯s cultivation base was not bad, but he still was unable to stop Ye Chuan for even a bit. Relying on his strong strength and doughty body, Ye Chuan broke through the first line of defense, using the weakest point of the encirclement. But, his luck ended at this point. Before he reached far away, he was intercepted by the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. This was a peak Daoist Master realm expert, far stronger than that senior apprentice brother Wu. Ye Chuan had not even run past ten meters and Peak Daoist Master realm experts emerged, one, two, three¡­, more and more. Many experts of Heavenly Yao Sect had rushed over here using a flying sword upon hearing the disturbance here. And behind these experts, there was a large group of disciples and guards. Although their cultivation was not outstanding, they were many of them. They surrounded Ye Chuan with a torch in their hand. Ye Chuan who was lucky enough to escape unscathed from Heavenly Yao Cave quickly fell into an encirclement. It was fine if there were only Daoist Master realm experts. But, from the distance, several powerful auras were coming. That was the aura of Half Sage realm experts. Even more powerful experts of Heavenly Yao Sect were rushing over, furthermore, it was not limited to one! Chapter 604: Black and White Elders Under the cover of darkness, a figure was running wildly in the front. Behind, a large group of people was chasing while using flying swords and arrows to attack continuously. They were attacking while chasing. Upon detecting the strong enemies, Ye Chuan chose to break through the encirclement without any hesitation. He took advantage of the time when the peak experts of Heavenly Yao Sect had not come to open up a bloody path. In turn, he paid a heavy price. A dozen or so bloody wounds were added on his body. Some wounds were so deep that his bones could be seen. He was already a nearly dried oil lamp, at this moment, he could only stumble forward. After opening a bloody path, he was powerless to get rid of the numerous soldiers chasing behind him. ¡°Chase, that kid can¡¯t last long!¡± Xiahou Qing, the Hall Master of Law Enforcement Hall, had also rushed over at an unknown time. He led everyone to relentlessly chase after Ye Chuan. Upon seeing his enemy, his eyes were red with anger. At the lake, he had eaten a big loss and nearly lost his life. As a result, not only he had no face to face other sect experts, he was also scolded by Elder Tianqing. Now, seeing heavily injured Ye Chuan, he naturally wanted to kill him! Swish, a wisp of cyan light shot towards Ye Chuan¡¯s back at an astonishing speed. Shortly afterward, it pierced through his left should, creating a bloody rain. Xiahou Qing ferociously attacked Ye Chuan with his flying sword, adding a deep injury to Ye Chuan¡¯s body. Ye Chuan let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground. After suffering many heavy injuries, his body was finally unable to endure. ¡°Hahaha, kid, run, aren¡¯t you powerful? Run!¡± Xiahou Qing laughed heartily and flew over. He then reached out to capture Ye Chuan alive, ¡°Kid, you were lucky enough to escape on the lake surface, but now, I will see where you can run! After this lordship captures you, this lordship will properly settle the account. First, this lordship will destroy your cultivation, then peel off your skin, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± Xiaohou Qing laughed heartily. His face was twisted in excitement. Upon seeing Ye Chuan who was collapsed on the ground was unable to move, he finally spat out a mouthful of evil qi. Instantly, he flew over to Ye Chuan, and just when he was about to tightly bind him, the iron chain in his hand was suddenly pulled tightly by Ye Chuan. ¡°Hall Master, watch out!¡± ¡°This brat is crafty, watch out!¡± The experts of Law Enforcement Hall who were closely following Xiaohou Qing shouted in unison. The laughter of Xiahou Qing suddenly ceased. He instantly felt a strong sense of danger. Unfortunately, he was already too late to react. Ye Chuan forcibly pulled the iron chain in his hands. Ye Chuan who originally seemed to be unable to move on the ground suddenly jumped up, then crazily circulating all twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he forcibly pulled Xiahou Qing. After that, he used the iron chain to strangle the latter¡¯s neck with all his strength while roaring angrily. The neck bone of Xiahou Qing was directly broken and his head weakly drooped at one side. Taking advantage of the momentary carelessness of Xiahou Qing, Ye Chuan directly killed this terrible wicked fellow. This was not a clever move, he just grasped the chance perfectly. Everyone believed that he was already nearly exhausted oil lamp, but as a result, Xiahou Qing, a person with a high position, was killed. As Hall Master of Law Enforcement Hall, this fellow used his high position to abuse power in the past. He was accustomed to using iron chains to tie up others¡¯ neck to humiliate and bring them back to Law Enforcement Hall to interrogate slowly. He should have never thought that, once day, the other people will use his iron chain to strangle him to death. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, I disappointed you again!¡± Ye Chuan sneered and coldly looking at the other chasers, he suddenly threw out the corpse of Xiahou Qing, and ran away. ¡°Hall Master!¡± ¡°Hall Master Xiahou, Lord Hall Master¡­¡± The corpse of Xiahou Qing stopped the path of pursuers. The carefully looked at the appearance of Xiahou Qing and they became greatly surprised. For a moment, no one actually dared to chase after Ye Chuan. A dignified Hall Master of Law Enforcement Hall, a Peak Daoist Master realm expert, died just like this? Originally, the people had thought that Hall Master Xiahou Qing was just injured under this surprise attack. But, beyond everyone¡¯s expectation, he had already died. How terrifying was this uninvited guest? The pursuing troops¡¯ eyes were filled with terror and they also didn¡¯t dare to chase. In this chase, Ye Chuan was injured all over, but the number of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples died in his hands was also not small. If not fifty, then it was at least thirty. The death of ordinary disciples was fine, but now, even Xiohou Qing, this Hall Master, also died. This was a serious matter. Ye Chuan¡¯s strength exceeded their expectations. He seemed to have the cultivation base of Peak Daoist Master realm, but his combat power was absolutely not any lower than a Half Sage realm expert! More and more experts rushed over from all directions, but after seeing the corpse of Xiahou Qing, their complexion changed and they stopped. Even a Peak Daoist Master realm expert had died, so they felt unprecedented fear in their heart and subconsciously stopped, not daring to recklessly chase after that uninvited guest. The fierceness of Ye Chuan made the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect felt deep fear. Whoever became the first person to chase and make Ye Chuan desperate would follow the path of Xiahou Qing! Ye Chuan looked back and seeing the pursuing troops had stopped, he finally sighed in relief. After that, he used all his remaining strength to run away. After killing Xiahou Qing, he had already become the withered oil lamp. He felt that, as long as he stops, he would immediately fall down and wouldn¡¯t be able to move again. At that time, if Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples caught up to him, then he truly could only let them capture him without putting up a fight. Fortunately, those disciples felt fear for their life and didn¡¯t dare to chase after him at the crucial moment. Ye Chuan had just relaxed, but, not long after, before he had the time to shake off numerous disciples, he suddenly stopped. Two powerful energy had locked on to him. Experts! Two Half Sage realm experts! Ye Chuan stood still and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. 100 meters in the front, there was a dense bamboo forest. If he rushed into it, he would be able to shake off the numerous pursuing troops, but he didn¡¯t dare to move. His glabella also twitched violently. He felt like he was facing Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, those two super experts. ¡°Not bad, you truly have some skill, you were actually able to sense us two brothers!¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, an expert that was able to forcibly cross Small Yao Lake using a branch, I was truly looking forward to seeing what kind of personage he is!¡± A sound of applause came from the darkness as two old men walked out from behind a rock. Their stature was mediocre, but their face was frightening. One was pitch-black like ink and the other was deathly pale like a corpse. Their peculiar appearance made people have a sinister feeling. ¡°Senior experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, Black Elder, White Elder?¡± Ye Chuan asked. Upon seeing their peculiar appearance, Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion stretched taut and became solemn. ¡°Hahaha, yes, we are Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Black and White Elders. We truly didn¡¯t expect that even after the seclusion for over a thousand years, people still recognize us.¡± The two old men laughed heartily in unison and strode towards Ye Chuan. The thing he feared the most had happened. Ye Chuan who was trying to break out of the encirclement encountered Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s two well-known great experts! Chapter 605: Ferocious Devil Ye Chuan stood still, but his heart was uncontrollably beating faster and faster. Before taking this action, he had especially inspected the current circumstances of Heavenly Yao Sect, paying special attention to the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. This Black and White Elders in front of his eyes were well-known senior experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. According to the rumor, they had broken through to Half Sage realm several thousand years ago. Thousands of years ago, they had jointly eradicated a large sect, leaving not a single person alive. Their means were more ferocious than many so-called great devils. They were known as Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Black and White Malignant Duo. They had been infamous in Wilderness World for a period of time. Later, after this duo entered seclusion to attack the bottleneck of Sage realm, their infamy slowly faded away over thousands of years. Some disciples who had recently entered Heavenly Yao Sect didn¡¯t even know the fierce name of Black and White Elder, but Ye Chuan had carefully gathered information before setting out to Heavenly Yao Sect. He knew how powerful these two fellows were. It seemed that they two hadn¡¯t broken through to Sage realm as they wished, but their cultivation was already outstanding, not any inferior compared to Qing Tianhou! ¡°Boy, kill yourself!¡± Black Welder coldly looked at Ye Chuan. His pitch-black face also had cold expression as he emitted dense killing intent, looking like the legendary fiend of hell. ¡°Big Brother, it¡¯s not very good like that, we must give the other person a chance.¡± White Elder was in all smiles, merely, his smiling face was even more frightening. He looked like a ghost who had just climbed out of the grave. He was clearly smiling but people felt chill. He paused for a bit and added, ¡°Boy, if I am not mistaken, you are still a youngster. Speak, which sect do you belong? Who is your master? Perhaps, your master is our old acquaintance. This lord is very curious, which fellow has taught such a disciple? At such a young age, you are actually able to ignore the restriction of Small Yao Lake and move freely.¡± White Elder was smiling, but it was just a fake smile, making Ye Chuan feel even more dangerous. At the distance, when the disciples saw Ye Chuan was stopped by Black and White Elders, they felt relieved and rushed over with torches in their hands. Just these two old fellows were already difficult to deal with, once these numerous disciples arranged layer upon layer of defenses, it would be very difficult to break out of the encirclement! ¡°Who is my teacher? You are not qualified to ask. He, even more so, wouldn¡¯t have acquaintances like you two.¡± Ye Chuan sneered and slowly calmed down. He then examined the surrounding, looking for a way to break free. After calming down, even when facing Black and White Elders, he was undaunted. He also had no intention to beg for mercy. His words sounded very arrogant, but he was truly not talking nonsense. In this life, his life technique was Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets he accidentally found in God Burial Valley, and he walked alone in the path of cultivation. Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Sect Master Yun Feiwu who had disappeared many years ago was just his nominal master. As for the real master, there was only one. He was Heaven Concealing Old Man who had handed him Heaven Concealing Secrets in his previous life. He was a great hidden expert. Even Ye Chuan had only followed him for an extremely short period of several months in his previous life as just the latter¡¯s write-in disciple. But, in just those several years, his cultivation progressed rapidly, establishing a solid foundation to become Heaven Concealing Great Sage of Wilderness World later. Ye Chuan was extremely grateful and respectful towards that aloof and refined Heaven Concealing Old Man. He had never talked about that Heaven Concealing Old Man to others. Even Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress who stayed beside him every day also didn¡¯t dare to ask about his master. Although these Black and While Elders¡¯ cultivation base was pretty good, they had no qualification to ask this question which even Blue Eyed Yao Empress didn¡¯t dare to ask. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, boy, we don¡¯t have a qualification to ask?¡± White Elder roared with laughter, then his tone suddenly turned cold, ¡°Boy, considering it was not easy for you to achieve your current cultivation base, it would be best to speak honestly, otherwise¡­ heh heh¡­¡± ¡°Humph, second brother, why are you talking so much nonsense, directly capture him and refine his soul, then we¡¯ll know everything!¡± Black Elder coldly snorted and suddenly rushing towards Ye Chuan, he reached out to capture Ye Chuan alive. After cultivating in seclusion for over a thousand years, although these brothers didn¡¯t breakthrough to Sage realm, they still stood at the peak of Half Sage realm. It was as easy as flipping their hand to deal with a Peak Daoist Master realm expert, not to mention Ye Chuan was already badly injured. Ye Chuan still stood motionless, but when he saw Black Elder rushing over, he suddenly took out a black pill from his Cyan Lotus Space. And his originally listless eyes suddenly lit up. ¡°Big Brother, be careful, this boy is a little strange!¡± White Elder sensed something was wrong and similarly rushed towards Ye Chuan. With two Peak Half Sage realm experts against a trifling Peak Daoist Master realm expert, even if Ye Chuan truly had some sinister tricks, so what? Black and White Elders had no fear, especially Black Elder who had taken the lead to make a move. He looked cold and his energy fluctuation suddenly rose sharply along with his killing intent. Bang! The black pill in the hand of Ye Chuan suddenly exploded and turned into a thick mist that shrouded the radius of several tens of meters. Upon inhaling this black mist, the Peak Daoist Master realm disciples felt dizzy. Black and White Elders were also hardly any better. Caught unprepared, they felt unwell and hastily retreated. In the next moment, after the dark mist began to fade away, Ye Chuan had already disappeared without a trace. It was absolutely impossible to defeat them even if Ye Chuan was at his uninjured peak state, so Ye Chuan chose to retreat without any hesitation. Cloud Mist Sect had always been good at growing medicinal herbs and refining pills. In the past, not to mention Ye Chuan could summon wind and rain as Heaven Concealing Great Sage, his attainment in refining pills was also superior. This time, before coming to Heavenly Yao Sect, although the time was limited to make great progress in his cultivation and refine many powerful pills, he was still able to hastily refine some small items which could be used at the crucial moment. That black pill had a coarse name, called Black Mist Pill. Once its black mist was inhaled, it wouldn¡¯t cause any serious damage, merely made people feel unwell for a moment, nothing more. It was not enough to kill a person, but to break out of the encirclement and hiding one¡¯s trace, it was a perfect match with the Peerless Style Technique. ¡°East side, a kilometer away, that boy has run into the bamboo forest, chase!¡± White Elder carefully sensed for a while and flew away. Black Elder also closely followed without saying a word. Their speed was faster than using a flying sword. Behind them, the disciples held their torches high and also chased. After entering the bamboo forest, they vaguely saw a wisp of red light in the dark bamboo forest and followed after it. After crushing that Black Mist Pill, Ye Chuan overdrafted his vitality and used Remex Arm Guard again. He spared no effort to run wildly, unfortunately, it was harder than reaching the sky to shake off White and Black Elders! Chapter 606: Nowhere to escape In the dense bamboo forest, Ye Chuan ran wildly. It was still dark, it seemed that there was still some time left before the dawn. Although there was the cover of darkness and bamboo forest, Ye Chuan was still unable to completely shake off the pursuing troops. What¡¯s more, he was nearly caught up by Black and White Elder several times, and the injuries on his body increased. Was he truly going to die here today? Ye Chuan¡¯s heart was heavy. He felt like all the energy within his body was already squeezed out and he couldn¡¯t run any longer. After such a fierce battle, he had completely exhausted his vitality, but the pursuing troops were getting closer and closer. Ye Chuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and run. After a while, a clear lake appeared in front of him. Compared to Small Yao Lake, this lake was smaller, but the water of this lake was clear and it had a picturesque scenery around. In the bamboo forest on the other side of this lake, Ye Chuan could vaguely see a wooden cabin. Inside Heavenly Yao Sect, how could there be such a simple and crude wooden cabin? Ye Chuan was a little surprised, but he didn¡¯t have time to think more. He crushed several more Black Mist Pills, and taking advantage of the moment when the pursuing troops behind stopped, he gritted his teeth and flint across the lake surface with all his strength, then entered into that wooden cabin. ¡°Eh, where did that kid go?¡± ¡°Chase, spread all around and search, that boy must not have run far away!¡± Black and White Elders were furious and looked around for the traces of Ye Chuan with strong killing intent. Even after two Half Sage realm experts personally made a move, Ye Chuan actually slipped away from right before their eyes. This was a big slap to their faces. If they were unable to find Ye Chuan and let him ran away, then not only they would lose their face, rather they wouldn¡¯t have any face. Soon, numerous disciples joined the search with torches in their hands. Some searched along the lakeshore, some spread throughout the bamboo forest for a thorough search, and some even removed their clothing and jumped into the lake to look over. Even the bottom of the lake was not missed. More and more people who rushed over upon hearing the news joined the search. They wanted to find Ye Chuan even if they had to dig three feet deep. When the pursuing troops were searching all around, Ye Chuan, however, was standing still in the wooden cabin. His limbs were ice-cold, but his entire body was sweating profusely. Inside the wooden cabin, a six or seven meters tall giant was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was quietly watching Ye Chuan who had suddenly intruded. He had a tall figure and was wearing heavy battle armor. He was none other than Kumu Warrior Tianku whose status was equal to Elder Tianqing and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia in Heavenly Yao Sect. Last time when he had come to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, Ye Chuan had seen Tianku. Later, they had even fought side by side. At that time, Tianku was already Peak Daoist Master realm, but now, after a few years, his cultivation still seemed to be Peak Daoist Master realm without any progress, but, not to mention Peak Daoist Master realm expert, any Daoist Master realm expert could kill the current Ye Chuan. He was already an exhausted oil lamp, he couldn¡¯t even move, therefore, he sneaked into this wooden cabin, wanting to hide from the pursuing troops, but, beyond his expectation, he walked into a tiger¡¯s den like a moth farting into a flame! He had never thought that he would meet Tianku here. Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion was tense. He didn¡¯t utter a word and also didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. But, unexpectedly, Tianku also didn¡¯t speak and also didn¡¯t attack. He just sat still and looked at Ye Chuan had who had suddenly broken in. The atmosphere in the wooden cabin was a little wired and it was very quiet. After a moment, a cold wind blew and the bamboo door closed automatically. Ye Chuan involuntarily became even tenser. After a long time, Tianku broke the silence. His voice was hoarse, ¡°Noble son Ye, that uninvited guest that forcibly crossed Small Yao Lake is you, isn¡¯t that so?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Chuan replied as he secretly looked around. The Kumu Warrior Tianku had been sitting cross-legged on the ground without any movement. The furnishing inside this wooden cabin was also simple without any restrictions or formations. There was just a copper cauldron as big as a human behind Tianku. Via a small crack, Ye Chuan could vaguely see that it was filled with anonymous medicinal liquid that emitted unpleasant smell. Below it, there was a pile of a bright red charcoal fire. It seemed that he was refining some kind of medicinal liquid. Outside the wooden cabin, the footsteps of pursuing troops gradually became clear. Someone who was searching along the lakeshore had arrived here. Now, there were more experts of Heavenly Yao Sect that joined this search. All of them were far stronger than the normal disciples. Ye Chuan became somewhat pale as he groaned inwardly. Even if he was uninjured, he might not necessarily be the opponent of Kumu Warrior Tianku. Now, he wanted to look for a place to avoid the pursuing troops, but beyond his expectation, he encountered a formidable enemy. What¡¯s even worse was, it was already too late to retreat. The pursuing troops were already near. As soon as he walked out of this wooden cabin, he would immediately be discovered. And in his exhausted state without any Black Mist Pills, it would be impossible to breakout of their encirclement. ¡°This time, you came to Heavenly Yao Sect¡­, is it to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia?¡± After a long silence, Kumu Warrior Tianku asked. He looked calm and his expression couldn¡¯t be discerned. ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. Although he was nervous and perplexed, upon seeing Tianku was not attacking immediately beyond his expectation, he vaguely had a glimmer of hope. ¡°Why?¡± Looking at Ye Chuan, Tianku indifferently said, ¡°Small Yao Lake is unfathomable and dangerous. It is even more dangerous in Heavenly Yao Cave. Even Half Sage realm experts might be frozen stiff there. With your current cultivation, I am afraid that even if you break into Heavenly Yao Cave, you will not be able to save anyone, instead, you will lose your life too. Can it be that you truly don¡¯t fear death?¡± ¡°Because, Zixia, she¡­, is my woman.¡± Ye Chuan paused and openly admitted his relation with Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Tianku didn¡¯t ask again and became silent again. Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t speak more, this sentence alone was enough. ¡°Chase, capture that boy, capture alive!¡± ¡°Scatter, carefully search every corner of this place, that boy must not have run far!¡± Shouts resounded one after another. The pursuing troops were already near. From their footsteps, they were just several meters away and they seemed to be rushing towards this wooden cabin. In addition, the aura of people leading in the front was not unfamiliar to Ye Chuan, they were none other than Black and White Elders. ¡°Quick, hide inside the medicinal cauldron, don¡¯t come out no matter what happens!¡± Tianku suddenly used a technique, then the medicinal cauldron suddenly vibrated and the lid automatically opened. ¡°Many thanks, Your Excellency Tianku!¡± Ye Chuan expressed his gratitude and without thinking much, he jumped into the cauldron filled with stinking liquid. Just after he entered, Tianku used his technique again and the lid was tightly closed again. If Tianku was scheming or this was a trap, then Ye Chuan truly had nowhere to escape. Usually, he wouldn¡¯t have taken such a risk, but now, he had no other choice. Although he didn¡¯t know why Tianku was helping him, it was the only way to avoid the pursuit. Black and White Elders were arriving soon. If he would found, then he would die for sure! Bang! Just after Ye Chuan had hidden, the wooden cabin¡¯s bamboo door was kicked open, then Black and White Elder leading a group of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts ferociously charged in. Instantly, the small wooden cabin was filled with strong killing intent. Chapter 607: Fall Short of Success for Lack of a Final Effor t ¡°You all¡­, what do you all want?¡± The Kumu Warrior Tianku opened his eyes and coldly looked at the crowds who had intruded with dense killing intent. ¡°Eh¡­, Your Excellency Tianku, how come you are here?¡± ¡°We pay respect to Your Excellency Tianku, please forgive our sins!¡± The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were shocked. The moment they saw the well-known Tianku sitting cross-legged on the ground, they all knelt down and pleaded guilty in succession. But, the leaders, Black and White Elders, however, didn¡¯t lower their position to apologize, but their complexion was also somewhat awkward and unnatural. In terms of cultivation, they had already stepped into Half Sage realm which was above Tianku, but, in terms of seniority, they were much lower than Tianku. Even the deacon Elder Tianqing had to be polite in front of the latter. Heavenly Yao Sect had a strict hierarchy. Although the cultivation base was very important and there was also the law of the jungle, the strictness in the order of seniority was held far more important than other ordinary sects. In most cases, all ancient sects were like this, the longer the inheritance of the sect, the more particular about the order of seniority. Charging in like this, speaking nicely, it was an unintentional offense, but speaking critically, it was defying the law of Heavenly Yao Sect, which was a felony. ¡°Humph, still not withdrawing?¡± Even though Tianku was sitting crossed-legged on the ground with a cold face, he was still a head taller than standing Black and White Elders. He seemed very threatening. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples obediently stood up and didn¡¯t dare to disobey at all. According to the rumor, Tianku, one of the big three of Heavenly Yao Sect, was also involved in the storm of Heavenly Yao Sect. They heard that, because he put forward some good words for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia unable to bear her situation, he suffered the wrath of Heavenly Empress and was punished to face the wall for ten years. Afterward, they heard that, because of the breakout of his heart devil, he was already at the end of his life, and he entered the seclusion cultivation, never again caring about the outside matters. After Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, yet another Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s giant fell from the place high in the clouds. Allegedly, now, Tianku¡¯s position in Heavenly Yao Sect couldn¡¯t compare to his past position. But, as a former giant, he still was too high to reach, moreover, as the close bodyguard of Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi for several thousand years, their connection was not ordinary. In the storm of Heavenly Maiden, Heavenly Empress was dissatisfied with him and punished him, but, when Heavenly Empress remembered the former relationship, Tianku might again become the giant that could shake the entire sect. Who dared to disrespect such a person? Like every trade has its master, the people who had successfully stood out from their fellows were not simple, the cultivation was also the same. These disciples who were able to join Heavenly Yao Sect and promoted to the inner disciple, all were extremely slick people. The disciples who originally broke in with dense killing intent following Black and White Elders quickly withdrew respectfully. ¡°Stop!¡± Seeing the disciples were about to withdraw outside, White Elder who looked deathly pale suddenly shouted. Then, looking at Tianku who still was sitting cross-legged on the ground, he said, ¡°I am sorry, Your Excellency Tianku, we offended you. But, someone has forcibly intruded Small Yao Lake and caused havoc tonight. Many disciples have already died in his hands. Even Xiahou Qing, the Hall Master of Law Enforcement Hall, was strangled to death. His means are even fiercer than many great devils. Elder Tianqing has ordered us to not return until we catch him. That brat is seriously injured, he couldn¡¯t have run far away for sure, now, we have already searched the surroundings, just¡­¡­¡± The White Elder had a refined and courteous appearance, but his tone was unyielding. He would rather offend Tianku and continue to ransack! ¡°Oh, White Elder, you doubt that uninvited guest in hiding here in my place? Or to say, I am hiding him?¡± Tianku sneered. In terms of cultivation, he was inferior to Black and White Elders, but, his status in Heavenly Yao Sect was still above these two, therefore, he had no fear facing them. On the contrary, Black and White Elders had to have certain misgivings. ¡°Your Excellency Tianku is exaggerating, but, the matter of that uninvited guest is no small matter. Elder Tianqing has ordered not to miss any place.¡± White Elder was polite but he wouldn¡¯t easily let the matter drop. From his deduction, Ye Chuan shouldn¡¯t have run far away for sure, he must be hiding somewhere nearby. But now, they had basically searched everywhere around, only this wooden cabin was left. If they didn¡¯t carefully search this wooden cabin too, then how could they be willing to leave? ¡°Fine, then search, see if the uninvited guest is hiding above the beam or hiding beneath the ground.¡± Tianku sneered and beyond the expectation of everyone, he didn¡¯t forcibly stop them. This made restless disciples relax. But, sizing up the wooden cabin, they couldn¡¯t help blushing. The wooden cabin of Tianku was simpler than the living quarter of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s odd-job men. The area covered was also very small. As for the furnishing, it was even simpler. There was no bed, no table and chairs, no gold and silver decorations and no paintings or so on things around, just four walls, floor and ceiling. Other than a few rush cushions, there was just a copper cauldron, refining medicinal pills. Smelling the stinking smoke coming out from the copper cauldron, they knew that he was refining some kind of medicinal fluid. It seemed the rumor was true. One of the big three of former days, Tianku, had qi deviation, ruining his body, thus, he lived in seclusion in this remote place to refine medicinal fluid to nurture his body. After looking around, the disciples knew that there was no place to hide in this wooden cabin. Black and White Elders also looked at each other and shook their heads. Unlike numerous disciples, they didn¡¯t use their eyes to observe, rather spread out their powerful divine sense to scan this entire wooden cabin for Ye Chuan¡¯s aura and traces, unfortunately, they found nothing. ¡°Your Excellency Tianku, we offended you!¡± Black Elder and White Elder took a glance at each other, then slightly bowing, they turned away. The numerous disciples finally felt relieved and left in succession. The longer they stayed inside the wooden cabin, the more they would offend this giant Tianku. Black and White Elders might not fear, but they were just small lackeys, how could they not be anxious? They were worried that Tianku might retaliate someday. But, if they arbitrarily left, then they would offend Black and White Elders, they were in an awkward predicament. Now, since Black and White Elders had left first, the issue in their heart was finally resolved. So close! In the steaming hot copper cauldron, Ye Chuan inwardly sighed in relief. Tianku who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground never batted even an eyelid, he looked cold and indifferent as if nothing had happened. Ye Chuan who was hiding in the cauldron, nevertheless, was especially nervous. Just a moment ago, when Black and White Elders were just some meters away, the consequences of being exposed were too ghastly to contemplate. Even if he wanted to run away, he wouldn¡¯t have anywhere to run. Fortunately, in the end, it was just a false alarm. It seemed that this copper cauldron was also not simple. Even Half Sage realm¡¯s divine sense was obstructed. When Ye Chuan relaxed, thinking the danger had finally passed, White Elder who had already left suddenly returned. This time, his gaze was focused on copper cauldron behind Tianku. His eyes were sharp and cold as if two gleaming knives. And as if he had seen through the cauldron and discovered Ye Chuan inside it, his energy fluctuation rapidly rose. Damn it! This sly old man still discovered him! In the cauldron, Ye Chuan who had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly became nervous again. His heartbeat also accelerated as he considered whether to rush out and fight desperately or not. Like that, even if he died, he would at least stab these two old fellows once. Ye Chuan gritted his teeth, no matter what happened, he couldn¡¯t helplessly wait for death. Chapter 608: Tianku’s Final Days ¡°The road to success is strewn with setbacks, refining a cauldron of Heavenly Yao Demon Refining Water, is it truly difficult?¡± Tianku shook his head, ignoring White Elder who had entered again. He added some charcoal fire and blew a mouthful of life essence. Then, the charcoal fire under the copper cauldron burned even hotter. In the cauldron, Ye Chuan who was considering whether to desperately fight back or not suddenly calmed down and watched quietly. The words of Tianu sounded like talking to himself, displaying his dissatisfaction toward White Elder¡¯s disturbance, but in fact, he was secretly warning Ye Chuan to not act rashly. If he jumped out of the cauldron now, then all the previous efforts will be wasted. Not to mention he would die, he would also implicate Tianku. ¡°Your Excellency Tianku, I¡¯m very sorry, I disturb you again.¡± Upon hearing the dissatisfied words of Tianku, White Elder didn¡¯t get angry. He just pointed at the cauldron and said, ¡°But, can you tell me why there is a drop of blood here?¡± Inside the cauldron, Ye Chuan was startled and became nervous again. After the injury, his wounds had been bleeding, and just a moment ago when he hid inside the cauldron, he was in a great hurry, so he couldn¡¯t get rid of marks on the ground. If there were just some footprints, then that would still be justifiable. It would be hard to distinguish whether they were left behind by Ye Chuan or numerous disciples, but the bloodstain, however, was different! This old fellow looked deathly pale like a ferocious ghost, but he was experienced and ruthless than an actual ghost! Ye Chuan gritted his teeth and subconsciously circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body. He even took out Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, preparing his strongest move. Once the White Elder open the cauldron¡¯s lid, he would launch an all-out attack! ¡°Just a drop of blood, what¡¯s so strange? White Elder, you aren¡¯t thinking that it is left behind by that uninvited guest, are you? Fine, I will let you see to make it clear.¡± Tianku coldly said. Ye Chuan was very tense in the cauldron, but he didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid and remained cold. Just after he finished speaking, he suddenly took off his armor, and grabbing on the two sides of his clothes, he directly tore them open. Instantly, together with White Elder, everyone was stupefied. What kind of body was that? The disciples standing outside the door were greatly surprised and even trembled in fear. Kumu Warrior Tianku appeared doughty, making people feel powerful pressure, but under his thick battle armor, his body was too horrible to look at. His skin was dried up like a withered bark and distorted beyond recognition, in addition, his every pore was bleeding. At first glance, that doesn¡¯t resemble a person¡¯s body, it was like a withered and decaying tree trunk that was about to completely decompose. Without the cover of clothes and battle armor, an unpleasant smell spread all around from his body. That was the rotten smell of a dead person. This person was about to die, his body was twisted and rotting! Outside the door, the disciples were shocked and didn¡¯t dare to look at Tianku again. They also retreated subconsciously. Even very experienced Black and White Elders were shocked. With their Half Sage realm cultivation, they were already able to sense the circumstance of Tianku was not good, and his end was right around the corner, but, they had never expected that Tianku¡¯s circumstance was so serious. Not to mention his skin was cracked and bleeding, suddenly collapsing and dying on the spot wouldn¡¯t not be any strange. As it turned out the rumors were true, Tianku was truly about to die! The people recalled the rumors and became sad. His position was high, his cultivation was also high, but in the end, he still had such a day. Compared to average people, the lifespan of a person who cultivates was much longer. After breaking through to Daoist Master realm, living for several thousand years was not an issue. But, as long as you haven¡¯t broken through to the Sage realm, there will come a day when your life would end! ¡°Your Excellency Tianku, what is inside this cauldron? Can you open it and let me take a look?¡± White Elder¡¯s limbs were somewhat cold and he also didn¡¯t dare to look at Tianku¡¯s body, but he still didn¡¯t give up. He doubted that Ye Chuan might be hiding inside the cauldron. ¡°White Elder, as the sect¡¯s senior expert, dignified Half Sage realm expert, don¡¯t you even know sect¡¯s secret Heavenly Yao Demon Refining Water¡¯s smell?¡± Tianku who had been indifferently sitting still finally stood up in anger and emitted powerful energy fluctuation. Then, he ferociously added, ¡°Now, my heart demon has flared up and my end is also approaching. I can only depend only on this Heavenly Yao Demon Refining Water to see whether I can recover or not. In the sect, who don¡¯t know that it should be refined for seven times seven forty-nine days, and it must not be opened midway. Once opened, the essence would leak and this cauldron of medicinal fluid would be useless. White Elder, you didn¡¯t come here to search for some uninvited guest, rather under the secret order of that old fellow Tianqing, you have intentionally seized the chance to make things difficult for me, forcing me to the road to ruin. Since you push people too hard, come, let¡¯s straightforwardly fight to the death. If I die, it just means that my end came in advance, but I might be able to inflict serious damage to you or even rip off your one leg. That would be a profit for me, Tianku, hahahaha¡­¡± Tianku roared with laughter and his energy fluctuation rose higher and became more powerful. He looked like he wanted to risk his life to perish together. He had been restraining himself and let others break in and even search his place, but now, seeing White Elder was unyielding, he was finally unable to suppress and erupted! Upon hearing what was said, the disciples¡¯ face became red and were also terrified at the same time. They then hastily retreated far away. Originally overbearing Black and White Elders also looked unsightly. Heavenly Yao Demon Refining Water, ever since ancient times, this panacea had been used to resolve the heart demon of sect experts. According to the legend, it was a secret recipe passed down by the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect, Blue Eyed Yao Empress, which especially was used for crossing calamity and resolving heart demon. The materials required for this medicinal fluid were extremely rare. Perhaps, one might not be able to gather all the materials required during one¡¯s lifetime. Even if one luckily gathered all the materials required, one needed to continuously refine for seven times seven forty-nine days, and it must not be opened midway, or else, it would become useless. All the previous efforts would be wasted. The end of Tianku was already approaching and his body was already deteriorated to this state. He had gathered all the required materials to refine this cauldron of medicinal fluid with great difficulty, and he had entrusted all his hope on it. But now, he had to open it for inspection, if this was not making things difficult for him and not bullying him, then what was it? The disciples were sad in their hearts. They also somewhat sympathize with Tianku who had a limited lifespan, but, no one dared to stand out and speak up. In this operation, Black and White Elders had the final say, these ordinary disciples were just small lackeys, nothing more. Behind Black and White Elders was Deacon Elder Tianqing who controlled the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. Among the big three of Heavenly Yao Sects, the conflict between Tianku and Elder Tianqing had been going on for a long time, perhaps, Elder Tianqing truly wanted to take advantage of this occasion to completely get rid of Tianku. When immortals came to blows, mortals suffer disaster. At this moment, no one dared to utter a sound. Everyone understood a loose tongue spells trouble. ¡°Heh heh, fight to the death? Tianku, are you my opponent?¡± White Elder said in stern countenance and similarly released astonishing energy fluctuation which quickly surpassed Tianku. Instantly, the wooden cabin was filled with killing intent and a fierce battle was about to ensue. ¡°Yes, Tianku, do you think you are still that past Tianku?¡± A sinister voice resounded. The Black Elder also stood out, coldly looking at angry Tianku. His energy fluctuation also rose rapidly and was by no means inferior to White Elder. A single Half Sage realm expert was already heaven-defying, could easily sweep through Daoist Master realm, with two Half Sage realm experts standing together, who can resist? Outside the door, the disciples¡¯ heart sunk. It seems the final days of Tianku have arrived. Now, after Heavenly Empress treated Tianku coldly, he still had some remaining prestige, but if he truly made a move, then he was definitely not the opponent of Black and White Elders. He would be totally defeated in a few moves! Chapter 609: Kumu Technique ¡°Correct, I am indeed not the past Tianku, am already a dying person, hahaha, come, is Half Sage realm so great? I will let you all experience the power of Kumu Space, hahahaha¡­¡± Tianku roared with laughter. Facing the pressure of Black and White Elders, these two super experts, Tianku was fearless, in addition, there was a hint of indescribable madness as if he was endlessly excited to perish together with Black and White Elders. Such madness made other people¡¯s scalp tingle. What was even more terrifying was, the entire wooden cabin creaked, the floor, walls and ceiling transformed into thick roots as the entire wooden cabin instantly transformed into a big tree. Kumu Space! In anger, Tianku held nothing back. He immediately used his unique technique, Kumu Space. Now, the disciples outside the door were in one world, and Black and White Elders were in another world. It seemed that this small and crude wooden cabin actually had some other mysteries. In this space, Kumu Warrior Tianku was an unmatched master. Even Black and White Elders, these two Half Sage realm experts, were under the binding of Kumu Technique, reducing their combat power. Tianku, however, was like a tiger that has grown wings here! Outside the door, the disciples had their eyes wide open in horror and subconsciously retreated again. Inside the door, the complexion of overbearing Black and White Elders also changed suddenly. Their cultivation was quite higher than Tianku, but who was Tianku? He was one of the big three of Heavenly Yao Sect, was the sole bodyguard of Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi for several thousand years. According to the legend, he was the peak expert enlisted by former Heavenly Empress. After ten thousand years, although his cultivation had remained stagnant in Peak Daoist Master realm, in these endless years, no one knew how many secret arts and treasures he had collected. Being suddenly trapped in the Kumu Space he controlled, a slight carelessness might make even a Half Sage realm expert fall here! Black and White Elders were also nervous and panicky. They start to regret their previous decision to fight. They had never expected Tianku to be so fierce. Tianku was already at the end of his life, he didn¡¯t mind perishing together. They two, however, had a long life ahead, and they still dreamed of breaking through to the Sage realm someday. Although they didn¡¯t care much about Tianku, they didn¡¯t want to truly fight desperately against him, and it was also not worth the price! ¡°Black and White Elders, come, let everyone see today, is my Kumu Space powerful or you two are fiercer? If I can drag two Half Sage realm experts to be buried with me, then I will not have any regret in this life. Furthermore, if I am able to kill you two and absorb your essence blood and energy essence, then I might be able to breakthrough my body¡¯s limit, directly breaking through to Half Sage realm, becoming the first Half Sage realm Kumu Warrior throughout the history of Wilderness World, in addition, that will also increase my lifespan by at least 100,000 years! This trade is too profitable, you two have come at just the right time, hahahaha¡­¡± Tianku roared with laughter, watching powerful Black and White Elders. At this moment, his eyes were blazing as if he was looking at two priceless treasures and took the initiative to press forward with dense killing intent. It didn¡¯t look like Black and White Elders forced him to make a move, rather he had prepared a trap in advance, waiting to swallow Black and White Elders for a long time. Ordinary people feared death, but who would know that cultivators feared death even more. The stronger the strength, the longer the lifespan. The so-called saying of cultivators had no fear of life and death was something used to say to inexperience ordinary people, was a way to trick them. All real cultivator was well-aware of this fact. An expert who had lived for a long time when reached the end of his life saw a way to lengthen his lifespan, then what would he do? There was no doubt that he would strive for it by fair means or foul! Precisely because of this, in Wilderness World, there were many who cultivates reincarnating, rebirthing and so on techniques, or even sinister techniques that directly robbed other people¡¯s life essence. The distinctive identity of Tianku was, he was not a human cultivator, he had stayed in Heavenly Yao Sect for a very long period of time, it was nothing unusual for him to know techniques that could seize other¡¯s life or energy essence. Along with the laughter of Tianku, the complexion of Black and White Elders became even more unsightly. If they were in the same situation as Tianku, then they would also not hesitate to use similar means. As long as there was a chance to extend their life, they would not let it go! ¡°Tianku, devouring other people¡¯s cultivation and life essence is the way of evil sects. We are also Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s elders, do you dare to do so?¡± White Elder stared fixedly at Tianku. His energy fluctuation was still astonishing, but his imposing momentum was gone. Fighting to the death with a dying person, in addition, in the divine space of the latter, who was that stupid? ¡°Yes, Tianku, do you think you have that ability?¡± Black Elder also stared fixedly at Tianku. ¡°Heh heh, what is there to not dare? Black and White Elders, if you two were in my place, then I fear you two might have already made a move in secret!¡± Tianku sneered and coldly added, ¡°As for whether I have the ability or not, you two will know very soon. I don¡¯t need high certainty, just a small certainty is enough for me, hahaha¡­¡± Tianku roared with laughter and took a step forward again. Then, the big tree the wooden cabin turned into began to sway and emitted poison mist. Just inhaling a little, Black and White Elders felt their throat dry, and they also felt scorching and tingling pain in their internal organs. After careful analyze, the complexion of the two greatly changed. This poison mist was not so simple. Clearly, the dense death aura of Tianku was mixed with it. If they inhaled too much, before Tianku made move, they might get killed. ¡°Tianku, do you think we brothers truly don¡¯t dare to kill you?¡± White Elder got angry and also shocked. His terrifying energy fluctuation also rose rapidly again. And as if he had a tacit understanding with Black Elder, both of them took out a black and a white flying sword. These two flying swords appeared ordinary, but they gave extremely dangerous feelings. Even Ye Chuan hiding in the cauldron could feel that. A fierce battle to the death was about to erupt. At that moment, a cold voice came from far away, ¡°Tianku, Black and White Elders forcibly intrude your wooden house, this is their mistake, but, infighting to death just like this also infringe the sect¡¯s law. You will not be able to explain this to Heavenly Empress in the future. How about we just let the matter drop here?¡± At the critical moment, the Deacon Elder Tianqing who controlled the entire Heavenly Yao Sect instead of Heavenly Empress finally appeared personally and transmitted his voice from far away. ¡°Humph, Tianqing, look after your lackeys more, don¡¯t repeat this!¡± Tianku coldly snorted and stopped at the right time, withdrawing Kumu Space. Then, the big tree swayed and returned to its previous simple and crude wooden cabin state. Black and White Elders didn¡¯t utter a word. They looked at each other for a moment and turned away. Many disciples outside also flew away to look for Ye Chuan in other places. Chapter 610: The Tears of Yao Empress It quickly became quiet both inside and outside the wooden cabin. Black and White Elders disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. From the beginning to the end, Elder Tianqing never showed up, but one thing was certain, he would not easily give up until Ye Chuan was captured. In the distance, the torches were still soaring, numerous people were still searching Ye Chuan¡¯s traces throughout the night. Tomorrow, the grand sacrifice competition would start, but at this time, such a storm occurred, someone has forcibly broken into the sect¡¯s forbidden ground and escaped unscathed, if this news was spread, then they would become a joke. Elder Tianqing naturally couldn¡¯t rest until that intruder was captured. Following the storm of Heavenly Maiden, the sect¡¯s experts were purged many times. With every purge, Elder Tianqing consolidated his power. He took advantage of the situation to insert his trusted subordinates into the key positions of Heavenly Yao Sect. When Heavenly Empress entered seclusion, the successive deacon elders were in control of the sect. Elder Tianqing was also the same, but as it now seemed, the latter seemed to be unwilling to be below someone else. Perhaps, along with the rise in his cultivation and power, he had greater wild ambition. Perhaps, he was accustomed to the feeling of having the final say of the high position, as a result, he feared that he would lose this power and status someday. It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, the name and fame were also like that. A person, if already accustomed to setting oneself high above the masses, high prestige, and power to summon wind and rain, then it would be worse than death if they fell down from the place high in the clouds. Therefore, when in a high position, they would use all their means to consolidate their position, they would no longer be willing to lose that position. In the secular world, emperors were the typical example, but in fact, the cultivators were also the same. The higher the position, the more cultivation resources they would obtain, the more they got accustomed to the position, the more they would be unwilling to lose that position. These were the sources of the internal and external conflicts of cultivating sects. After Black and White Elders left, Tianku closed the wooden door and sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to cultivate. He also wore his clothes and armor to cover up his badly mangled body. In the copper cauldron, Ye Chuan also quietly sat still. No matter Elder Tianqing who had not shown up or Black and White Elders, all were old crafty fellows. They seemed to have left, but they might have secretly left some tricks. If he hastily came out, then he might fall into their crafty plot. After a long time, when the eastern sky started to brighten, Tianku who was sitting cross-legged on the ground used a technique to open the cauldron and said, ¡°Well, those fellows are all gone, noble son Ye, come out.¡± ¡°Many thanks, Your Excellency Tianku!¡± Ye Chuan jumped out and respectfully bowed. This time, thanks to Tianku¡¯s help, he was unexpectedly rescued from a desperate situation, otherwise, he might have truly died here even before seeing Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and before Heavenly Empress personally made a move. Heavenly Yao Sect, sure enough, was very dangerous. On the surface, Black and White Elders, only two Half Sage realm experts came out, but in secret, there were numerous great experts overseeing in the dark. From the forceful invasion of Small Yao Lake to now, the most part of the night had already passed, causing a big disturbance throughout Heavenly Yao Sect. It was impossible to completely seal off such a disturbance. But, he had not seen even a trace of Old Demon of Mount Yin, Nan Tiandu and others. There were two possibilities for this; the first possibility was either their status was already exposed or they suffered the attack of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts when rushing over to rescue him; the other possibility was they were unable to act under the pressure of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts. Whichever the case, it made Ye Chuan feel restless. Just after escaping danger, Ye Chuan began to worry about Old Demon of Mount Yin and others. He was impatient to return. ¡°Noble son Ye, looking at your current appearance, did you disguise as the disciple of a certain sect to sneak in?¡± Tianku was clearly able to see the worries and impatience of Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Rest assured, tomorrow is the grand sacrifice ceremony, even if that fellow Tianqing is a bastard, he will also not dare to easily lift his butcher¡¯s knife against the guests of various sects. In other words, you and your companions are safe for the time being. But, it will not be easy to go to Small Yao Lake and Heavenly Yao Cave anymore, especially Heavenly Yao Cave, it is not a place where you can forcibly break-in.¡± ¡°Your Excellency Tianku, is Zixia truly locked in Heavenly Yao Cave?¡± Ye Chuan asked, looking at Tianku. According to various sources of information, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia should be imprisoned in Heavenly Yao Cave. In the vicinity of that cave, Ye Chua also vaguely sensed a familiar aura. But, he didn¡¯t see Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, so he had some doubts in his heart. ¡°Yes.¡± Tianku nodded his head, directly confirming it. ¡°If that is the case, how to enter it?¡± Ye Chuan asked. If he were still Heaven Concealing Great Sage, then that coldness of Heavenly Yao Cave wouldn¡¯t be any trouble for him. But now, not to mention saving another person inside, it was difficult to take even a step forward. After breaking through to Half Sage realm, he might be able to break in, but from Peak Daoist Master realm to Half Sage realm, there was a big gap. With an opportunity, he might be able to instantly breakthrough, or he might not be able to breakthrough even after tens of thousands of years. Kumu Warrior Tianku was the perfect example of this. He was unable to breakthrough even though he had already reached the end of his life. ¡°There is no way, noble son Ye, you can¡¯t go in, you have to return to your Cloud Mist Sect when there is still the chance.¡± Tianku shook his head and looking at Ye Chuan, he sighed. After a period of time when they had not met, Ye Chuan actually had already broken through to the Peak Daoist Master realm. His cultivation speed was so astonishing that it was beyond his expectation. But, to break into Heavenly Yao Cave, it was still far from sufficient. ¡°No, because of me, Zixia is being suppressed below Heavenly Yao Peak, this time, before saving her, I will not leave Heavenly Yao Sect!¡± Ye Chuan said with determination. Then, looking at Tianku, he added, ¡°Your Excellency Tianku, is there truly no way at all? What exactly is that chill in Heavenly Yao Cave?¡± Millions of years ago, when Heavenly Yao Sect was established, there was Small Yao Lake, but there was no Heavenly Yao Cave, and that strange coldness was also absent. Ye Chuan was quite puzzled, wondering where that chill inside Heavenly Yao Cave come from. He vaguely felt that it had something to do with Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress, and he wanted to know more. ¡°A long long time ago, there was an ancient book in the sect. That book stated that there is an ice spring in the innermost part of Heavenly Yao Cave. That ice spring is the source of the coldness. According to the legend, that is evolved from the tears of our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder. The closer to the ice spring, the colder. In the depths of Heavenly Yao Cave, even a soul would be frozen.¡± Tianku explained, talking about the ancient legend of the sect. It was something only higher-ups of the sect knew, even ordinary disciples were entirely unaware of this. Sure enough, that strange chill had something to do with Blue Eyed Yao Empress! The heart of Ye Chuan shook, but he didn¡¯t have time to think too much. ¡°Your Excellency Tianku, how exactly can you go in? Didn¡¯t you say that the successive Heavenly Empress can go in?¡± Ye Chuan wanted to know, after he was trapped in God Burial Valley, what had happened to Heavenly Yao Sect, what Blue Eyed Yao Empress suffered and where she went. But now, the urgent matter was how to get into Heavenly Yao Cave to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. The past had already passed, the past glory had already become the history and couldn¡¯t be changed; the future was complicated, changeable and hard to predict, so it was most important to cherish and grasp the present. Ye Chuan who had lived two lives clearly understood this principle. Especially after the trip to Overseas World when he had to choose past, present or future bridge in the Transmigration World of Sea Demon Clan¡¯s holy land, it made him even more matured, comprehending many more things. He missed his former followers, Blue Eyed Yao Empress and others, he wanted to know what they had encountered but compared to former followers, now, he was more worried about Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. Old affection could only be reminiscence, only new flame linger in the heart, the heavenly law was heartless, he couldn¡¯t let the new flame also turn into reminiscence. Now, he had deeper feeling towards Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia compared to Blue Eyed Yao Empress, after all, Blue Eyed Yao Empress was the past now, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, however, was the current flame, naturally, he cared and worried more about her. Chapter 611: Heaven Concealing Umbrella ¡°Successive Heavenly Empresses are indeed able to enter Heavenly Yao Cave, but, they also needed a treasure,¡± replied Tianku. In Heavenly Yao Sect which was filled with strong experts, although his cultivation base was far from being the strongest, his qualification was out of ordinary. He had followed two successive Heavenly Empresses, thus, he knew a lot more secret compared to many ordinary disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°What treasure?¡± Ye Chuan asked. When he was in Heavenly Yao Cave, he felt that something was wrong. The coldness in that place was honestly too cold. Even Qing Tianhou who was a Peak Half Sage realm expert might not be able to break in. This showed that the successive Heavenly Empresses had a secret or a unique treasure for sure. ¡°Heaven¡­ Concealing¡­ Umbrella!¡± Tianku said word by word. What? Ye Chuan was shocked and looked at Tianku in disbelief. In this world, there was no one more familiar with this treasure Heaven Concealing Umbrella than him. This originally was a big killing weapon he used in his past life when he ran wild in the Wilderness World. It was also a strong body-protecting treasure. Not to mention withstanding the severe cold of Heavenly Yao Cave, with Heaven Concealing Umbrella, anyone could pass unimpeded even in the place a hundredfold colder. But, before he was trapped in God Burial Valley, he had lost it in an ancient ominous domain. That ancient ominous domain was a mountain range filled with undead creatures, called Undead Mountain Range. Millions of years ago, it was a famous ominous domain. Ye Chuan had unleashed his killing for the last time here. He swept through this entire Undead Mountain Range along with Ghost Hand Medicinal King, Blue Eyed Yao Empress and other followers, killing Ghost King who considered himself the best in the world. In the end, although he won a complete victory and even seized Ghost King¡¯s numerous merit laws, techniques and treasures, the loss of Ye Chuan was also not small. He lost this treasure Heaven Concealing Umbrella. After Ghost King was destroyed, it fell down the unfathomable death abyss that was supposed to lead to the Ghost World. It was also because of the loss of this body-protecting treasure, Ye Chuan was trapped in God Burial Valley later and couldn¡¯t escape. It was impossible for Heaven Concealing Umbrella to appear in this world again! Could it be that it was just a fake? Or just happen to have the same name, or later, in the millions of years when he was trapped in God Burial Valley, Blue Eyed Yao Empress returned to Undead Mountain Range, intruded the death abyss and found back damaged Heaven Concealing Umbrella? Ye Chuan was very confused. This news came too abruptly. He was unable to believe for the moment. Moreover, if it was truly his previous body-protecting treasure Heaven Concealing Umbrella, then as soon as he entered the Heavenly Yao Sect, there should be a reaction, but until now, he hadn¡¯t sense any reaction, what does this mean? ¡°What, noble son Ye, you have also heard of Heaven Concealing Umbrella?¡± Tianku noticed that Ye Chuan looked somewhat unusual. But, without waiting for the reply of Ye Chuan, he shook his head and added, ¡°It¡¯s impossible, even looking throughout the entire Wilderness World, the number of people that know about this treasure doesn¡¯t exceed five. Although your Cloud Mist Sect has a long inheritance, I fear there is no record of this Heaven Concealing Umbrella. Time is like a windy vast desert, it endlessly covers many secrets.¡± Tianku seemed to recall many matters. As a Kumu Warrior, he had a long lifespan. Many irreconcilable enemies and lovers had all died away. Now, he was also following the footsteps of his predecessors, reaching the end of his life. Afterward, many secrets in his heart will be covered by the destiny wind. ¡°Your Excellency Tianku, listening to you, this Heaven Concealing Umbrella seemed to be a very amazing treasure. What kind of treasure is it?¡± Ye Chuan pretended to not know anything and asked. ¡°It is¡­, a very, very amazing treasure.¡± Tianku paused and added, ¡°A very very long time ago, when Heavenly Yao Sect and Cloud Mist Sect were still not established, Wilderness World had another scenery. At that time, in the vast world, there was no strongest sect, rather many heaven-defying experts. Sage realm experts could be found everywhere, it was the generation of heroes. Allegedly, there were countless Sage realm experts like Heaven Shaking Sword Sage, Ghost King Sage, Heaven Connecting Sage¡­ one more powerful than the others. In the current Wilderness World, any one of them would be unrivaled throughout the world. At that time, although Sage realm experts could be found everywhere, the most outstanding and the one who truly controlled the entire Wilderness World was a youth. He concealed the heaven with his hand and he could summon wind and rain, called Heaven Concealing Great Sage. Heaven Concealing Umbrella, according to the legend, this treasure was a big killing weapon of that Heaven Concealing Great Sage.¡± The more Tianku spoke, the more excited he got as if he was charmed by that generation of heroes where Sage realm experts were everywhere. If he was born at that time, then not only he could be able to fight against numerous legendary Sages, he could have also witnessed the Sages¡¯ style. In addition, his latent potential might be simulated, reaching a higher peak. Now, he was already at the end of his life and was at his wit¡¯s end, if he was born millions of years ago, then he might have learned some secret techniques from numerous sages, thus, resolving his calamity and extend his lifespan by further 100,000 years. Sure enough, it is my previous body-protecting treasure, Heaven Concealing Umbrella! Ye Chuan was very shocked after he received confirmation from Tianku. He vaguely felt that the reappearance of Heaven Concealing Umbrella had the greatest connection to Blue Eyed Yao Empress, it was very likely that the latter use unknown method to retrieve Heaven Concealing Umbrella from the death abyss, and passed it down from generation to generation in Heavenly Yao Sect! ¡°It¡¯s hard to believe, or to say, unimaginable, isn¡¯t that so?¡± Upon seeing the shocked appearance of Ye Chuan, Tianku smiled and said, ¡°Originally when I heard this for the first time, I was also shocked, even more than you. Noble son Ye, now that I have spoken this much, I will tell you one more secret. Heaven Concealing Umbrella is sealed in our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s most important place, Heavenly Yao Hall. But, it¡¯s useless even if you know this, that place is heavily guarded, moreover, there is layer upon layer of restrictions. Just the successive Heavenly Empress can remove the restriction and take out Heaven Concealing Umbrella. But, it could be used for only a short time each time, then quickly sealed again. It is impossible to get a hold of it. The faster you extinguish your thoughts the better. Just you risking your life to come here to save Zixia shows that she had not chosen the wrong person. Unfortunately, you two are doomed to not be together. Noble son Ye, listen to me, return as soon as possible. Later, in the nether world, when Zixia learns that you have risked your life to come to Heavenly Yao Sect to save her, she would be happy even though she died.¡± Tianku sighed, and looking Ye Chuan who was full of injuries, he sympathized and felt sorry for them. Just considering how Ye Chuan had risked his life to come save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he made a move to help Ye Chuan resolve the disaster, otherwise, he would have captured and personally handed him over. ¡°Okay, thank you for reminding me, Your Excellency Tianku, I know what I should do now. Your Excellency Tianku, take care of yourself!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head then turned away after bowing. But, just before he left the wooden cabin, he suddenly turned around and said, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right, Your Excellency Tianku, the true Heavenly Yao Demon Refining Water is not refined like that. His cauldron of medicinal fluid lacks some key medicinal materials, moreover, the refining technique is also incorrect. Inside this jade slip, the real refining technique is recorded, I hope it can help you.¡± Ye Chuan took out a blank jade slip from his Cyan Lotus Space, then using his divine sense, recorded a part of his memory. Afterward, he tossed it towards Tianku and disappeared without a trace. ¡°The refining technique that has been passed down in my Heavenly Yao Sect for thousands of years is incorrect? Youngster, after all, is youngster, likes to exaggerate¡­¡± Looking at the disappearing backview of Ye Chuan, Tianku bitterly smiled while shaking his head. He then caught the jade slip and take a look, immediately afterward, he was stunned and got excited. Like many ancient restrictions and ancient techniques of Heavenly Yao Sect, this Heavenly Yao Demon Refining Water was also something he had passed down to Blue Eyed Yao Empress. Afterward, Blue Eyed Yao Empress passed it down to her personal disciple. Perhaps, the latter¡¯s understanding was limited and didn¡¯t learn the essence, or perhaps, due to such a long period of time, some key points were lost. Many sect¡¯s secret techniques for Tianku and others were worth nothing to Ye Chuan. Before leaving, he left behind the real refining method as a reward for Tianku. After this battle, Ye Chuan looked at Tianku with new eyes. He knew that although Heavenly Yao Sect was not the past Heavenly Yao Sect now, there were still some people with a conscience. He hoped Tianku could solve his disaster. Chapter 612: The Eve of Competition Just before the sky was bright, Ye Chuan returned to the Guest Welcoming Peak. Along the way, there were guards and patrolling squads everywhere. Among them, there was no lack of experts. Fortunately, he was not obstructed throughout the way. Just after entering, Old Demon of Mount Yin greeted him, ¡°Your Excellency, you are finally back!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend Abasi, Diamond Ape King and Nan Tiandu, all these five experts were gathered in the room of Ye Chuan. Upon seeing Ye Chuan suddenly entering from the window, all of them were excited. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Nan Tiandu waved his hands, arranging a simple formation, isolating this room. Tonight, like other places in Heavenly Yao Sect, a large group of guards had suddenly come to Guest Welcoming Peak. Even the worst-hit area suffered close surveillance and examination. Inside and outside the courtyard, there were Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples patrolling around with weapons in their hands. They were searching all around for Ye Chuan, this uninvited guest, who had disappeared without a trace. The courtyard where they were living was searched thoroughly and many experts of Heavenly Yao Sect had yet to leave the courtyard. Originally, upon hearing the movement in Small Yao Lake, they wanted to rush over to provide a helping hand, but because of the frightening numbers of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts, they had to endure and wait for Ye Chuan¡¯s return. If he still didn¡¯t return after the dawn, then they had to think of a way. Fortunately, Ye Chuan successfully returned just before the dawn. ¡°Mmm.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head to Old Demon of Mount Yin and weakly sat cross-legged on the ground. After the battle of Small Yao Lake yesterday, not to mention he was injured, he was also dead tired. And after dodging guards and returning to his room, he felt like he had completely squeezed out all his strength. He was aching all over, feeling numb and inexplicably unwell. This was the result of excessive overdrawing his power. If he didn¡¯t quickly think of a way to nurse himself, then the circumstance might worsen and he might even have qi deviation. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, are you all right?¡± Nan Tiandu was very worried. Upon seeing the condition of Ye Chuan was anything but reassuring, he quickly sat behind Ye Chuan and pressing his hands on Ye Chuan¡¯s back, he injected his vital energy into Ye Chuan. Slowly, the pale complexion of Ye Chuan had a tinge of redness, and his chaotic qi and blood also slowly calmed down. ¡°I am fine, still not dead.¡± After a good while, Ye Chuan exhaled several mouthfuls of chaotic qi and replied while signaling Nan Tiandu to not expend his vitality. ¡°Tiandu, you can stop now, I will be fine after cultivating for a few hours.¡± ¡°Your Excellency, you are really amazing enough. Yesterday, you alarmed the entire Heavenly Yao Sect by yourself. Unfortunately, I was not together with you. If I had gone out with you last night, then I could have taken advantage of that situation to kill and absorb qi, blood and energy essence of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples, kakaka.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily. He didn¡¯t seem to worry like Nan Tiandu, rather was somewhat excited and looked at Ye Chuan in admiration, ¡°By the way, Your Excellency, where exactly did you go yesterday? Who do you encounter? Furthermore, did you find out the whereabouts of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t see her, but, roughly determined her position. She should be in Heavenly Yao Cave located on the other shore of Small Yao Lake.¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°As for who I met? I can only say many, there were ordinary outer sect disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, and also powerful experts, including Law Enforcement Hall Master Xiahou Qing, furthermore, Black and White Elder who are well-known in Wilderness World. Rhodes, you don¡¯t need to regret it. Next time, I will definitely take you too in the exploration of Heavenly Yao Cave. I have already killed the Hall Master of Law Enforcement Hall, but Elder Tianqing who controls the entire sect as well as super experts Black and White Elders are still left. In the future, I will let you deal with them.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t, Your Excellency, leave experts like Elder Tianqing and Black and White Elders to Abasi, Nan Tiandu and others, I will help them bring up the rear!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin hastily shook his head and could no longer laugh. In a chaotic battle, killing everywhere while absorbing opponents¡¯ energy essence, this was what he loved, he didn¡¯t like fighting against a super expert by himself, after all, he was just a Peak Daoist Master realm expert now, he was still weaker than truly formidable enemies. Even among the experts around Ye Chuan, his cultivation and strength were not the highest. In this operation, Old Demon of Mount Yin had not made sufficient preparation like Ye Chuan. Although he didn¡¯t know much about the situation of Heavenly Yao Sect, he had heard about the reputation of Black and White Elders. He knew that they were peak experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. They were extraordinary people with the cultivation of Half Sage realm. Encountering those two, even Ye Chuan was not their opponent, say nothing of himself. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you killed Law Enforcement Hall Master of Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± Nan Tiandu was shocked and bitterly smiled, ¡°No wonder the entire Heavenly Yao Sect is disturbed and all the disciples are crazily looking for your whereabouts.¡± ¡°Originally, I don¡¯t want to kill him, unfortunately, that fellow wanted to kill me.¡± Ye Chuan replied, recalling Xiahou Qing, and his complexion turned cold. Last night, his objective was just to explore Heavenly Yao Cave to look for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, nothing more. He truly had no intention to be so ruthless and pick a fight with Heavenly Yao sect¡¯s higher-ups. Unfortunately, Xiahou Qing, that crazy dog, not only was he arrogant, he made a move to kill him. Ye Chuan had no choice but to get rid of him with a small trick! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what should we do next? Should we forcibly break into Heavenly Yao Cave to save Heavenly Maiden?¡± Nan Tiandu asked, looking solemn. Even before he fused with an evil dragon, he was a person who didn¡¯t even fear heaven, and he was the millennium genius of Cloud Mist Sect. After fusing with an evil dragon at the bottom of the Evil Dragon Abyss and breaking through to Half Sage realm under the direction of Seventh Elder, he was even more confident, moreover, his combat power had suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds. However, as soon as he stepped into Heavenly Yao Sect, he felt an indescribable heavy pressure. He felt like his every move was being watched by a certain expert of Heavenly Yao Sect and he couldn¡¯t help feeling disturbed. ¡°No, I will go to Heavenly Yao Cave by myself, as for you all¡­¡± Ye Chuan paused and looking at everyone, he said, ¡°Rain Demon, Abasi and Jin Teluo, you three will stay in the room. Unless there is a pressing matter, don¡¯t easily go out. Rhodes, you will be responsible to gather information; Tiandu, you have just one mission, that is, participate in the grand sacrifice competition as the disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect. Remember, the more arrogant you act, the better. Go up onto the stage and claim that you are invincible and you will make the mainland¡¯s cultivators deeply learn the powers of the overseas cultivators. The bigger the commotion you can cause, the better, it would be best if you think of a way to lure out White Haired Heavenly Empress. The sky is already bright, the grand competition will start soon, go ahead and prepare.¡± After instructing everyone, Ye Chuan slowly closed his eyes and began to cultivate. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I¡­¡± Nan Tiandu was a little anxious. He absolutely had no issue with fighting to the death with Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts, but assuming the name Nan Batian to participate in the competition, in addition, pretending to be the most important person in the world, wasn¡¯t that a big joke? Making Nan Tiandu who was always indifferent and aloof play the part of an extremely flippant and impudent fellow who considered everyone beneath his notice, it was truly hard for him. ¡°Nan Tiandu, let¡¯s go, I will help you, kakaka, His Excellency must have his intention to make you act that way, let¡¯s go!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and pulled Nan Tiandu away. Nan Tiandu also vaguely understood that Ye Chuan wanted to intentionally alarm White Haired Heavenly Empress. Originally, he wanted to decline this task, but he had to accept it with a bitter smile. And looking at the current appearance of Old Demon of Mount Yin, he seemed to have ill intent. He looked very impatient to watch him go up on stage and reveal his incompetence. Chapter 613: The Fragment’s Powerful Ability After Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu left, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend Abasi, Diamond Ape King, Jin Teluo also left, leaving behind only Ye Chuan in the room. Before leaving, Rain Demon laid out a small mechanism outside the door that would let him immediately sense if someone approached Ye Chuan¡¯s room. An assassin, after all, was an assassin, they were cautious in nature and wouldn¡¯t leave behind any traces of their tricks! In the room, Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground without any movement, but with his divine sense, he was able to clearly see the trick of Rain Demon. The five experts around him all had their distinctive characteristics. With them here in Heavenly Yao Sect, he was naturally able to save a lot of troubles and time. Old Demon of Mount Yin went out and gathered a lot of information; Plague Archfiend, Diamond Ape King and Rain Demon stayed behind in Guest Receiving peak to bring up the rear. In case something unexpected happened, they would prepare a route of retreat to leave Heavenly Yao Sect; Nan Tiandu was particularly strong. He was stronger than similarly Half Sage realm Plague Archfiend, moreover, he was bold enough to act and take the consequences. With him personally participating in Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Grand Sacrifice Competition, not only he could stall for time, giving Ye Chuan ample time to prepare, he might even alert White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi to personally appear in the competition site. At that time, he would have a chance! Just as Old Demon of Mount Yin said, making Nan Tiandu go high key in the battle indeed had a profound meaning. When forcibly breaking into Heavenly Yao Cave to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, there was a very high possibility that White Haired Heavenly Empress would intercept in person. But, there was even higher possibility to encounter her when sneaking into Heavenly Yao Hall to seize Heaven Concealing Umbrella. If Nan Tiandu created a great disturbance in the competition and draw out White Haired Heavenly Empress, then that would definitely be a golden opportunity! Life is like a chess game, every step could change the overall situation. Ye Chuan sat still on the ground, but he was carefully deliberating in his mind. Since Nan Tiandu would participate in the competition, the chance of exposing his identity naturally was higher. If he was not careful and tried to overreach himself, then that might attract great danger. However, compared to the benefit of drawing out White Haired Heavenly Empress, this small amount of risk was acceptable. ¡°Who are you? Which sect are you from?¡± ¡°Report your name and identity, esteemed Great Elders has ordered in person, no one is allowed to wander inside Heavenly Yao Sect at will, all those that disobey the orders will be killed without pardon!¡± From outside the door, shouts of guards came. The sky was already bright, but, the troops chasing after Ye Chuan had yet to withdraw, on the contrary, the security had become tighter, and the action of various sects had been restricted severely. ¡°I¡¯m Rhodes, protector of Overseas World¡¯s Bellowing Waves Sect. This is the elite disciple of our sect¡¯s younger generation disciples. His name is Nan Batian and he is going to participate in the competition.¡± The voice of Old Demon of Mount Yin resounded. His tone was very humble and was in all smiles when facing these guards. ¡°Go go go, quickly go!¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, Nan Batian? This name is truly arrogant enough, doesn¡¯t he fear being slapped to death on the stage, hahaha!¡± ¡°The Overseas World¡¯s cultivators are like this, although their cultivation is not up to much, they consider everyone beneath their notice, don¡¯t know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth, but, since they came from the small place, it is understandable!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­. The laughter of the guards resounded. These guards who were tense throughout the night finally had good laughter. In the midst of their laughter, the footsteps of Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu gradually got further away. When facing other people, Old Demon of Mount Yin had a smiling face and spoke humbly, Nan Tiandu, however, didn¡¯t say a word from start to finish. In the eyes of other people, he really was incomparably arrogant. ¡°Brother Tiandu, let these Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples experience Nan Batian¡¯s power!¡± Ye Chuan smiled. He was somewhat looking forward to Nan Tiandu¡¯s performance. Those who encountered him on the stage would be out of luck. Although Heavenly Yao Sect had numerous experts, among the younger generation, it was very likely that no one had reached heaven-defying Half Sage realm, thus, no one was Nan Tiandu¡¯s opponent. Even in their dream, Heavenly Yao Sect might never have expected the disciple of an unknown sect of Overseas World would be the last one to laugh in their meticulously prepared Grand Sacrifice Competition. At that time, even if they don¡¯t want to create a commotion, it would be difficult! After sensing Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu had reached far away, Ye Chuan calmed down and began to cultivate. But, he soon discovered something was wrong, no matter what he did, he felt somewhat uncomfortable, there was a strange feeling in his heart, thus, he examined his internals and was greatly shocked. Yinyang Life Wheel he had taken from Small Yao Lake had entered his dantian at an unknown time and the twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans were floating above it. Although it had shrunk by numerous times, like still in Small Yao Lake, Yinyang Life Wheel was continuously emitting black and white radiance which flashed alternatively. When the white light circulated, the twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans spun clockwise, and when the black light circulated, they spun anti-clockwise. This mysterious fragment of Lost City, just after it was collected, like a presumptuous guest usurping the role of the host, it vaguely controlled the powerful Heaven Swallowing Talismans. Eh¡­., what¡¯s going on here? Ye Chuan was greatly shocked. This was no small matter! After getting out of God Burial Valley, in this life, he changed his life technique from Heaven Concealing Secrets to Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets. He deeply comprehended the core of this technique and painstakingly condensed Heaven Swallowing Talismans. These talismans were also the foundation of his strength. But, these Heaven Swallowing Talismans were actually all controlled by Yinyang Life Wheel, what does this imply? Once someone can control Yinyang Life Wheel, wouldn¡¯t that mean he could indirectly control his life and death? Ye Chuan was greatly shocked and quickly recalled Octopus Empress who was trapped in the ancient grave world. With the means of the latter, controlling Yinyang Life Wheel was not a difficult matter. At that time, he would have no end of troubles. Should he immediately destroy this Yinyang Life Wheel or look for a place to seal it? Ye Chuan pondered. Via his divine sense, he didn¡¯t detect the aura of Octopus Empress in Yinyang Life Wheel. The latter shouldn¡¯t be able to make a move for the time being. But, couldn¡¯t make a move for now didn¡¯t represent she also couldn¡¯t in the future. He had to make preparation in advance. The worldly spiritual qi in the atmosphere suddenly poured in from all directions. Ye Chuan used a technique. After thinking over for a moment, he decided to take out Yinyang Life Wheel first, he didn¡¯t dare to leave it within his body. After all, what kind of abilities and profound mysteries do this Yinyang Life Wheel have, he was entirely unaware of it, thus, it was too dangerous to rashly place it within his body. At that time in Small Yao Lake, he could do nothing about it because he was in a hurry and didn¡¯t have much time to think. Buzz! Yinyang Life Wheel in his dantian vibrated and the buzzing sound directly exploded in Ye Chuan¡¯s mind. For a moment, his mind became chaotic, his blood and qi seethed, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. But, the issue was, although Yinyang Life Wheel moved, it actually didn¡¯t fly out of his body as he wanted. It was completely beyond his control. ¡°Good lord, come out for me!¡± This time, Ye Chuan felt even greater shock and his complexion sank. Afterward, he immediately changed his technique, he didn¡¯t believe that he couldn¡¯t remove the Yinyang Life Wheel from within his body. Chapter 614: Half Immortal Weapon But, the bigger shock had yet to come. At the beginning, Ye Chuan just used 20% of his strength but was unable to take out Yinyang Life Wheel. Afterward, he increased his strength to 50%, 80% until 100%, but was still unable to take it out. The Yinyang Life Wheel¡¯s vibration got stronger and stronger, and its buzzing sounds made him feel even more uncomfortable, but, regardless of his efforts, the Yinyang Life Wheel didn¡¯t came out of his dantian. What a good Lost City¡¯s fragment, what exactly is this thing? Ye Chuan was shocked. He took a deep breath to calm down. Afterward, he suddenly erupted with violent power as he circulated twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans to their limit, then he used a technique again to forcibly take out Yinyang Life Wheel from within his body. Unfortunately, he failed again. In addition, due to the buzzing sound ringing in his mind, he felt somewhat dizzy. In Ye Chuan¡¯s hand, suddenly a Pei Yuan Pill appeared. He had taken it out from his Cyan Lotus Space. For this operation, he also had prepared some pills to take precautions against contingencies, but, since the time was tight, there weren¡¯t many. Thus, even when Black and White Elders were chasing him down, he didn¡¯t take any one of them, but now, he couldn¡¯t afford to not take them out, he immediately swallowed one pill. Pure energy quickly surged within his body. Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit power was rejuvenate, but just when he was about to seize the change to press on to extract the Yinyang Life Wheel, the energy of Pei Yuan Pill suddenly disappeared without a trace. It was thoroughly absorbed by Yinyang Life Wheel in his dantian first. How is this possible? Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion changed. Such a situation, even he, Heaven Concealing Great Sage who summoned wind and rain in former days, had never seen and also heard it. He gritted his teeth and took out a pill bottle which contained all Pei Yuan Pills he had, then swallowed all of them. Instantly, boundless energy emerged within his body and surged throughout his body. All the pores of his body stretched opened and his muscles also swelled. He felt scorching pain all over his body as if he would not be able to control the energy within his body and explode. Before, in Small Yao Lake, he was in a hurry, so he just stored Yinyang Life Wheel with great difficulty. He had no time to refine it. Now, in order to eliminate hidden trouble, he was ready to risk everything. The violent energy coursing through his body suddenly disappeared. The energy brought along by a bottle of Pei Yuan Pills was absorbed by Yinyang Life Wheel once again without leaving anything behind. Ye Chuan was madly shocked. Carefully looking inside his body, he discovered that not only the energy of Pei Yuan Pills had disappeared, even his currently low vitality had also disappeared. The mysterious Yinyang Life Wheel actually plundered his own vitality and essence too. The twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans were the first to be affected. At the beginning, they were still fine, but soon, they shrunk as a visible speed. The large amount of energy contained in them was being drained and Ye Chuan felt weary, dizzy and he wanted to lie down and sleep. This Yinyang Life Wheel is really too strange! Ye Chuan became solemn and quickly change his strategy. He no longer stubbornly tried to take Yinyang Life Wheel out from within his body, rather used a secret technique, wanting to seal it within his dantian while forcibly supporting himself from collapsing. At this moment, if he fell to the ground and fell asleep, then he might never wake up again. Looking at Yinyang Life Wheel, not only it would suck his vitality dry, it would even not left his soul alone, like that, even reincarnation would be impossible. Ye Chuan quickly reacted, unfortunately, he was already too late. Along with the loss of a large amount of vitality, he became more and more weary, and even if he had the heart, he felt powerless. His technique stopped midway. It became more and more difficult to move, in turn, the black and white radiances emitted by Yinyang Life Wheel in his dantian became more and more dazzling. The twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans also became smaller and smaller. If this goes on, then before long, he would wither away. Ye Chuan changed his technique again, this time, just wanted to protect himself. He couldn¡¯t circulate twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans as they were bound to Yinyang Life Wheel; his limbs were aching and powerless, he couldn¡¯t even move his body; even his divine sense was also bound at an unknown time and he couldn¡¯t spread it out. Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King were staying next door. Ye Chuan could hear their talking voices, but he could not even call them for help. The matter at hand was far more serious than expected. Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion was ghastly pale and his entire body was dripping wet. This moment was far more dangerous than being chased by Black and White Elders. ¡°The legendary Yinyang Life Wheel really is amazing!¡± Just when Ye Chuan had no choice but to helplessly watch himself being swallowed by this ancient Yinyang Life Wheel, a familiar voice resounded in his mind. Octopus Empress? Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes lit up. He wanted to move his body and ask for help, but soon after that, he noticed something wrong. Listening to her tone, it seemed like Octopus Empress had been observing for a long time. ¡°Boy, do you think this lordship is just watching you die?¡± Octopus Empress seemed to see through Ye Chuan¡¯s thought. She paused and coldly said, ¡°It is not like this lordship doesn¡¯t want to help you, rather this lordship cannot. The legendary Half Immortal Weapon, Yinyang Life Wheel, it has a heaven-defying ability to complexly absorb a living person¡¯s yang qi, turning him into a corpse, and extract yin qi of a corpse and inject yang qi, turning him into a living person. Even a Sage realm expert flee at the mere sight of it. Such a big killing weapon, who can resist it?¡± Octopus Empress¡¯s voice was cold. She used Octopus Talisman within Ye Chuan¡¯s body to observe the change in Yinyang Life Wheel. Although her voice was cold and flat, her speech had a hint of excitement and expectation. Half Immortal Weapon! Having heard what was said, Ye Chuan was shocked like never before. In the Wilderness World, the cultivation ranks were divided into Wuzhe, Xiushi, Daoist Master, Sage and Immortal, these five realms. After the Sage realm was the legendary Immortal realm. In his past life, when he could summon wind and rain in the Wilderness World, he had still not broken through to the Immortal realm. No wonder, although he tried his best to control Yinyang Life Wheel, he still could do nothing about it. A Half Immortal Weapon, even if he was his past life self, he might not necessarily be able to control this big killing weapon! The vitality within his body continued to fade away, and the twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans also continued to shrink. It would not take long before he was completely swallowed by this Yinyang Life Wheel. Ye Chuan sweated profusely. He could hear the laughter coming from the next door, but no one knew the current situation of Ye Chuan. Even Plague Archfiend Abasi who was a Half Sage realm expert also didn¡¯t notice the unusualness of Ye Chuan. They all thought that Ye Chuan was cultivating quietly. Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu had gone to participate in the grand sacrifice competition, it was even more impossible for them to return. After the reincarnation, this was the first time he felt so powerless. Not to mention resisting, he couldn¡¯t even commit suicide. He could only helplessly watch Yinyang Life Wheel slowly nibbling away his life. Now, his only hope was the distant Octopus Empress. But, the problem was, will this peerless evil spirit make a move? With her cultivation, can she contend with Yinyang Life Wheel? Octopus Empress who was trapped in the ancient grave world was absolutely one of the very best in the current Wilderness World. In the eyes of ordinary people, her cultivation was exceedingly high and all-conquering, but having learned that Yinyang Life Wheel was an ancient Half Immortal Weapon, Ye Chuan was disturbed, and he didn¡¯t have a big hope on even Octopus Empress. Chapter 615: Spirit Weapon ¡°Boy, listen well, this lordship will impart you a technique, Immortality Seeking Secrets. Immediately cultivate it and prevent the encroachment of Yinyang Life Wheel, then slowly, refine this peerless treasure. This is the sole merit law used by Sea Demon Clan to control Yinyang Life Wheel in ancient times. Now, whether you can live or not is up to yourself. I hope you are successful!¡± Octopus Empress¡¯s voice resounded and she imparted a profound merit law to Ye Chuan. At the critical moment, perhaps, she had misgivings towards the power of Yinyang Life Wheel, or perhaps, because her real body was very far away, Octopus Empress didn¡¯t directly make a move, but she also didn¡¯t look on with folded arms. She imparted Ye Chuan an ancient technique of Sea Demon Clan. This technique, even Sea Demon Clan¡¯s old patriarch didn¡¯t know. No one knew that there was such a merit law with Sea Demon Clan in the past. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know where this Octopus Empress who was trapped in the ancient grave of Sea Demon Clan¡¯s holy land learned this merit law, but from her words, it seemed this merit law happened to counter Yinyang Life Wheel. Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit trembled as he began to cultivate on the spot under the directions of Octopus Empress. He then moved his fingers with great difficulty and made profound law seals. Soon, an unusual feeling appeared in his mind. His body felt as if he had transformed into a weightless feather, and at the same time, his entire body emitted powerful energy. Born to be a human being, in this life, I don¡¯t seek great wealth, not seek greatest power, only seek to become an immortal one day, then, disregarding mortal world, ascend to heaven! Ye Chuan who was suffering the encroachment of the Yinyang Life Wheel was suddenly enlightened and vaguely grasped the essence of Immortality Seeking Secrets. First aperture, open, second aperture open! As a former Heaven Concealing Great Sage, he had unparalleled experience and insights. He had struggled hard when he was nobody of the lowest rung, and he had also stood at the peak and experienced the loneliness of the peak. In addition, he once had cultivated over 3,000 techniques. Any merit laws that fell into his hands, he could cultivate faster than average people. Soon, he indistinctly emitted an aloof and refined aura that resembled the legendary immortal aura. Now, he looked detached and free from vulgarity as if he had broken free from Wilderness World¡¯s binding and domain. In his dantian, the vibrating Yinyang Life Wheel suddenly stopped. A thought to seek immortality, this merit law was truly powerful! Upon seeing Immortality Seeking Secrets could truly suppress Yinyang Life Wheel, Ye Chuan was excited, but before he was happy for too long, Yinyang Life Wheel suddenly vibrated at an even faster speed while emitting a buzzing sound. Instantly, Ye Chuan felt that all the energy of his entire body was sucked out. He silently chanted the merit law in his heart, but he had no power to move his hands. He couldn¡¯t even move his fingers. Above Yinyang Life Wheel, Octopus Talisman that similarly lost a lot of vitality suddenly expanded and exploded with surging energy fluctuation. The Octopus Empress made the move. If Ye Chuan could move his mouth, then he would have thanked his luck. It was impossible for Octopus Empress to helplessly watch Ye Chuan being completely devoured by Yinyang Life Wheel. The task of finding the fragments of Lost City was still not completed, and this Yinyang Life Wheel was just one of them, nothing more, there furthermore were many of the remnants scattered in the world. Before the completion of this task, she wouldn¡¯t easily give up on Ye Chuan, this helper, otherwise, she might never be able to escape her situation. At the critical moment, without Ye Chuan calling for help, Octopus Empress made a move. Ye Chuan suddenly trembled. In an instant, as if Octopus Empress had injected all her energy into his body, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds and his spirit also resonated as he used a technique. Soon, Yinyang Life Wheel within his dantian was suppressed again. Now, other than black and white radiances, there was an additional layer of a blood-red radiance around Yinyang Life Wheel, which was the proof of the initial step of refining. The power of Octopus Empress was violent and fast. In the blink of an eye, Yinyang Life Wheel was swallowed. But, at this moment, Yinyang Life Wheel already had a layer of red radiance and its fierce vibration gradually calmed down. ¡°Well, it is finally suppressed. Now, use your qi, blood and vitality to slowly nurture it while using Immortality Seeking Secrets to refine further. Don¡¯t miss a single day. Boy, don¡¯t forget, otherwise, this lordship will not be able to save you even if this lordship personally come here.¡± Octopus Empress¡¯s voice resounded. In the midst of coldness, there was a hint of exhaustion. Her voice became smaller until it completely faded away. It seemed that she had used up a lot of vitality to suppress this Yinyang Life Wheel even though she was a Sage realm expert. Ye Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground without moving and continued to use the merit law, Immortality Seeing Secrets. According to Octopus Empress, the Yinyang Life Wheel should no longer be dangerous for the time being, but Ye Chuan didn¡¯t dare to be carefree, he repeatedly used Immortality Seeking Secrets. After a long time, Yinyang Life Wheel finally subsided completely. But, what made him surprise was, the black and white radiances ceased to flash alternatively and a cold current flowed out which made Ye Chuan shiver, followed by a warm current nesting in his heart. After this cold and warm current, Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit shook. Although his physical body was still weak, his spirit, however, was nearly twice as strong as before. In addition, his divine sense could easily breach the restriction of the courtyard and spread out. Can it be that it was not only a Half Immortal Weapon, but also a big killing weapon for spirit cultivation? Ye Chuan was excited. In the Wilderness World, the common treasures were flying sword and so on weapons. They attacked the opponent¡¯s physical body with a sole exception, that was the so-called spirit weapons which directly attacked the opponent¡¯s spirit. The wind chime given to him by cyan robed Seventh Elder as well as Sea Conch he obtained in the ancient grave world of Sea Demon Clan¡¯s holy land, they directly affected the opponent¡¯s spirit, but strictly speaking, they were not truly spirit weapons. In his previous life, he had heard that, in the bitterly cold land located at the extreme north of Wilderness World, there was a Void Sage and he had a spirit weapon. Allegedly, it was a small whistle. Its appearance was very ordinary but its might was astonishing. With the use of this whistle, he could kill a thousand miles away. Whether this rumor was true or false, and whether this small whistle was truly so powerful or not, Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t know, but, he knew the might of spirit weapons. At that time, there was a famous saying in the Wilderness World, ¡®Sages are everywhere like dogs, but spirit weapons are rare.¡¯ Thus it could be seen how rare and powerful spirit weapons were. If he had a powerful spirit weapon, then even if he was just a Peak Daoist Master realm expert, ordinary Sage realm experts might not dare to easily approach him. Clam down, maintain low-key, and don¡¯t let other people notice this! Ye Chuan took a deep breath and did his best to calm down. This scene of Yinyang Life Wheel emitting cold and warm currents which strengthen his spirit was not seen by Octopus Empress, otherwise, she might have forcibly snatched it away. Octopus Empress who was trapped in the Reincarnation World knew many secrets of Sea Demon Clan and also knew about this treasure Yinyang Life Wheel, but, she might not necessarily know the real function of this treasure. Other people didn¡¯t know the rareness of a spirit weapon, but Ye Chuan who could summon wind and storm in the entire Wilderness World in his previous life clearly knew it. For a single spirit weapon, even Sage realm experts will fight with their life on the line. If Octopus Empress learned the true magical effects and might of Yinyang Life Wheel, then would she still be able to remain aloof and indifferent? Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes blazed like torches. Now, he had seen both the threat of Yinyang Life Wheel and also the magical effect and might of this treasure. If he could thoroughly refine this treasure, then not to mention any other things, forcibly breaking into Heavenly Yao Sect and save a person would absolutely not be an issue. He also wouldn¡¯t need the help of anyone and be in hiding while racking his brains like now! Chapter 616: Grand Competition The sky was already bright. With more and more people going in and out of the courtyards, it was getting livelier. The disciples of various large sects were preparing for the Grand Sacrifice Competition in succession. Even Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King next door often went out to join the fun. Only the assassin Rain Demon calmly stayed in the room while cultivating. But, no one knew that Ye Chuan had just returned from the death¡¯s door. The cold sweat of Ye Chuan had yet to dry up, but he continued to sit on the ground. With a thought, a wisp of red radiance shot out from within his body and circled around his body. Instantly, a sword qi swept through the room along with cold killing intent. Ye Chuan had brandished his Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, but unlike the past, he had his eyes closed and only used his divine sense to manipulate this killing weapon. Last night, in the battle of Small Yao Lake, Ye Chuan nearly lost his life, and he was still far from completely recovering his vitality, but it was also absorbed by Yinyang Life Wheel. In addition, his limbs were aching and his body felt especially weak. Now, like this, even if he wanted to rely on his tough body like former days to forcibly break into Heavenly Yao Hall and Heavenly Yao Cave, it was almost impossible. Not to mention encountering White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, just encountering a little bit stronger guard, he might never return. Since this was the case, Ye Chuan went all-out straightforwardly cultivating his spirit battle techniques, intending to fully utilize Yinyang Life Wheel¡¯s ability to strengthen the spirit to foster strength and avoid weakness. In the Wilderness World, the treasures that directly attacks the spirit were called Spirit Weapons, and the corresponding techniques to control Spirit Weapons were known as Spirit Battle Techniques. They were completely different from normal cultivation merit laws. In his previous life, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t possess any spirit weapons and he also didn¡¯t have distinctive spirit battle techniques too. But, he knew some of the most basic ways to manipulate divine sense. The flying sword made straight thrusts, rotated and spun around him. Under the manipulation of his divine sense, he could make all kinds of attacks. Not to mention these attacks were quick, accurate and ruthless, they seemed to have distinctive intelligence as if they had an independent life, or to say, become Ye Chuan¡¯s incarnation. This was the biggest difference in the manipulation of a flying sword from his previous life. When the spirit was powerful enough, a wisp of divine sense could be attached to anything and the latter would become a divine sense incarnation that could be manipulated freely like hands and feet. This was the most basic principle of spirit battle techniques, and it was also a strong aspect compared to ordinary merit laws. Ordinary cultivators can also manipulate the flying swords, similarly using their divine sense, but compared to cultivators who specifically cultivated the spirit, there was a big disparity. This disparity was mainly in detail. Ordinary cultivators were far from being able to be so meticulous and nimble. Ye Chuan paused after a while and put the flying sword away, feeling somewhat tired. Although the spirit battle was very powerful, the consumption was also very big, which was the reason why most cultivators were unable to cultivate spirit battle techniques. After the Yinyang Life Wheel absorbed qi, blood and vitality, it could strengthen the power of divine sense. So, should he take the initiative to inject his vitality in exchange for even stronger spirit power? After resting for a while, Ye Chuan began to try anew. Sure enough, after using Immortality Seeking Secrets to take the initiative to inject a part of his vitality into Yinyang Life Wheel, the Yinyang Life Wheel, in turn, emitted the familiar cold current and warm current, quickly replenishing his exhausted spirit and even made it more powerful. ¡°Hurry up, the grand competition is about to start!¡± ¡°Heavenly Yao Sect against Cold Spring Sect, the first match is about to start, let¡¯s go!¡± From outside the door, the shouts of people came. A dozen or so youngsters with attendants crowding around them quickly left, very impatient to witness the first match of the Grand Sacrifice Competition. According to the usual practice, Heavenly Yao Sect would take part in the first match to display their might, usually against another big and powerful sect. This time was also no exception. Compared to Heavenly Yao Sect, this overlord of cultivating sects, although Cold Spirit Sect¡¯s overall strength was a lot worse, it was also a large sect with a long inheritance. In history, many powerful super experts had born in this sect. These people ran very quickly, on the back, there were even some who directly used their flying swords, wanting to reach the match stage as quickly as possible, rolling up many fallen leaves. This group of people disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving behind fluttering leaves in the air. One of those leaves happened to float outside the window of Ye Chuan¡¯s room. Ye Chuan who was sitting cross-legged inside the room suddenly made a move. A wisp of his divine sense immediately attached to this fallen leaf, then this fallen leaf leisurely cross over the enclosing wall and followed the aura of that group of youngsters. Inside and outside the courtyards, there were many Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s guards. They inspected anyone going in and out. Even though it was already daytime, it seemed that these guards were still unwilling to give up. They seemed to have sworn not to stop before they capture that intruder of Small Yao Lake, entirely unaware that the leaf controlled by Ye Chuan¡¯s divine sense floated out right before their eyes. After the training, Ye Chuan became more and more skilled in spirit manipulation. The small leaf fluttered towards the distance place crossing over mountain after mountain. Sometimes, with the support of a strong wind, it flitted across the sky like a flying sword, sometimes, its speed was slow, leisurely drifting in the sky, and sometimes, it would appear as if it would fall to the ground or even was almost trampled by the guards in the checkpoints, but, it either floated upward or rolled on the ground. All along the way, there were guards and restrictions everywhere. Among them, there was no lack of Peak Daoist Master realm experts. But, regardless of whether they were Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s elites or various sect¡¯s visitors, no one noticed this small leaf. After half an hour, the leaf controlled by Ye Chuan successfully arrived at the crowded match stage. In order to fully showcase the strength and imposing attitude of Heavenly Yao Sect, under the arrangements of Elder Tianqing, the Grand Sacrifice Competition of this time was held in spacious Heavenly Yao Square. This the largest flat ground in the entire Heavenly Yao Sect, it could easily handle several tens of thousands of people. In addition, this square was surrounded by mountain peaks and thick worldly spiritual qi condensed here. According to the legend, when Heavenly Yao Sect was newly established, the founder would often preach here and imparted various kinds of powerful techniques. Other than Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples, many experts of other sects and loose cultivators would travel a long way to participate. Millions of years had passed, the tales of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress had already become the legend, no one knew whether those matters were true or false. Just Ye Chuan knew the facts so much so that many matters were vivid in his mind as if they happened just yesterday. In fact, the public sermon was truly held here in those years, explaining various techniques. But the one who was preaching was not Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress, rather him, the former Heaven Concealing Great Sage. In those years, a sea of people would truly gather here. Regardless of righteous sects, evil demons and heretics, all came a long way to Heavenly Yao Sect like making a pilgrimage. Later, after Ye Chuan went to Cloud Mist Sect, these people followed him to Cloud Mist Sect to ask for advice, bringing along many crystal stones, pills and treasures. In addition, many joined Heavenly Yao Sect and Cloud Mist Sect in succession, thus laying down a strong foundation for these two sects. After millions of years, Ye Chuan returned to Heavenly Yao Square crowded with people again, but this time, he didn¡¯t come to impart and resolve the doubts of techniques, rather with a different identity. Chapter 617: Ouyang Huo A bell rang in the distant Heavenly Yao Peak. This sound resounded throughout heaven and earth. Even after millions of years, Heavenly Yao Sect had already changed, but this sound of the ancient bronze bell was still the same without any change. The withered leaf landed on the branch of a big tree beside the match stage, not attracting anyone¡¯s attention. Hearing to the sound of ancient bronze bell, Ye Chuan was somewhat lost in thought, reminiscing those years millions of years ago. After a while, he came back to his senses and discovered that Elder Tianqing who was in control of Heavenly Yao Sect had already arrived at Heavenly Yao Square at an unknown time and he was now sitting on a high platform. Perhaps, he was pretending to be majestic, or perhaps, because of yesterday¡¯s matters, this fellow looked dull and unhappy. The followers around him also looked very cautious. After another bell ring, the grand competition officially began. Under the eyes of everyone, a bald man took the initiative to rush onto the stage. He was especially tall and sturdy. In this cold day, other people were wearing thick winter clothes, but he was bare in the upper part, displaying his muscles. He rushed all along the way and the moment his legs landed on the stage, the entire ground vaguely shook along with a muffled explosion sound. Just his brute force shocked people, and looking at his energy fluctuation, he was a Rank 5 Daoist Master realm expert. The disciple of Cold Spring Sect took the initiative to go on stage, welcoming a wave of applause. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s grand competition had always been warm and exciting, especially the first match, which attracted a lot of eyes. But, competition being warm and exciting didn¡¯t necessarily mean only the battle between Peak Daoist Master realm experts and Half Sage realm experts. The opponents matched in strength was the most important. Therefore, the battle among Xiushi realm cultivators would also be very exciting. Usually, the first to appear on the stage would be the disciple with a slightly weaker cultivation base. Real experts would come on the stage at a later time. Rank 5 Daoist Master realm, this cultivation base could be regarded as pretty good among the younger generation disciples, but far from matching the elite disciples of various large sects. But, the agile body and brute force of this bald fellow still received everyone¡¯s applause. ¡°Not bad, this bald fellow¡¯s strength is astonishing. Although his cultivation base couldn¡¯t be considered tiptop, I fear he has already comprehended Cloud Spring Sect¡¯s special technique. He can sweep though the cultivators in the same realm. Being able to train this kind of young disciple, Cloud Spring Sect really is not simple, worthy of being a veteran large sect!¡± ¡°This time, what kind of opponent would Heavenly Yao Sect send? To use violence to curb violent, would they send an even stronger expert, or send higher-ranked elite disciple?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Below the stage, the people made all sorts of comments. They were full of expectation and curious about this match. The bald burly fellow of Cold Spring Sect demoralized his opponent by a show of strength. He was a model close combat elite, and Cold Spring Sect was also a close combat powerhouse. Thus, it gave the host Heavenly Yao Sect a difficult problem. If they sent similarly Rank 5 Daoist Master realm young disciple, then it would be very difficult to win against this bald fellow; if they sent a higher ranked, Rank 6 Daoist Master realm young disciple, then the victory would be assured, but that would be somewhat unfair and it also wouldn¡¯t display Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s majestic air and style. ¡°Great Elder, this fellow is not simple, should we change the plan and send¡­¡± On the platform, a personal attendant bent over and asked instruction from Elder Tianqing, hesitating to speak. In this first match, Heavenly Yao Sect had also arranged a powerful Rank 5 Daoist Master realm young disciple, but, witnessing the strength of Cold Spring Sect¡¯s bald fellow, this attendant responsible for the arrangement of manpower was somewhat perturbed. After the disturbance in Small Yao Lake yesterday, the complexion of Elder Tianqing had been ugly. Today, in the first match of the Grand Sacrifice Competition, if they lost, then Elder Tianqing¡¯s mood would be even worse, and if he had a bad mood, then he didn¡¯t know how many people would suffer the disaster! ¡°Humph, isn¡¯t it just a disciple of Cold Spring Sect? Why do we need to change the plan? Do how it was originally prepared. If won, then reward heavily, lose, then face the wall in Heavenly Prison!¡± Elder Tianqing coldly snorted and he was very impatient. For an unknown reason, his eyelid fluttered and he had a feeling of uneasiness. He was unable to get rid of this feeling as if something bad would happen today. This feeling made him very uncomfortable. He was already accustomed to sitting in a high position and summon rain and wind, but there were a lot of disturbances just before the grand sacrifice competition, which turned his mood very bad. Every time he thought of that uninvited guest who forcibly break into Small Yao Lake yesterday and disappeared without a trace later, he felt as if a bone was stuck in his throat. ¡°Yes, Ouyang Huo, go onto the stage!¡± The attendant sweated profusely and didn¡¯t dare to say anything. He just quickly ordered to transmit his instruction. Soon, a disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect flew over from the distance. The people below the platform turned around and saw a wisp of fiery figure flash past their eyes and when that figure was still several meters away from the stage, he jumped onto the high platform, leaving behind only heat waves. Looking over, now, they could clearly see the appearance of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciple standing on the stage. He was short, a head shorter than ordinary people. Compared to Cold Spring Sect¡¯s bald burly fellow, he was even shorter, appearing especially emaciated. He was thin and small, his facial features were also ordinary, could even say somewhat ugly. His forehead and chin were protruding outward, in addition, his chin had a handful of a goatee. He looked unpleasing to the eyes however he was looked at. Furthermore, he was wearing a fiery red war robe, and it was especially conspicuous. His face couple with this kind of attire truly was a perfect match, it would be difficult to not draw the attention. Below the stage, a lot of people cracked a chucked on the spot. Even after guessing for such a long time, they had never expected that Heavenly Yao Sect would actually dispatch this kind of freak. As the cultivation overlord of Wilderness World, Heavenly Yao Sect never had to worry about not getting the fresh blood. Every time they open their gate to recruit fresh young disciples publicly, the place outside the gate would practically be crowded with people without any place to step. Countless people had dreams to have their children join Heavenly Yao Sect. Even many nobles who controlled a region would send their younger generation to join Heavenly Yao Sect. Thus, among the talented younger generation disciples, it was too easy for them to send a handsome elite, was it necessary to send out a fellow with such a face and attire? This Ouyang Hou who was wearing a fiery red war robe, did he intentionally go up to the stage to make people laugh to liven up the atmosphere or was this his some kind of unique skill? The people were puzzled. Some people couldn¡¯t help laughing, but some people calmed down and carefully sized him up, wanting to discern the distinctive qualities of Ouyang Huo. But, unfortunately, even after a while, they could discern nothing. At the same time, Ye Chuan who had attached a wisp of his divine sense on a leaf, however, was shocked. After Yinyang Life Wheel strengthened his spirit, his senses had become even sharper. He could sense a dangerous aura from Ouyang Huo, this disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect. It would appear the cultivation base of this Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciple with distinctive face and attire was Rank 5 Daoist Master realm similar to Cold Spring Sect¡¯s bald burly fellow, and it appeared as if he wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand a single blow, but, upon careful observation, Ye Chuan could faintly hear gurgling sounds, that was the sound of qi and blood flowing through his blood vessel, and it contained violent strength. He had yet to make a move, but his blood and qi were already so ferocious and powerful. Once he went all-out, what kind of strength would he display? Ye Chuan was shocked and with a thought, the leaf in which his divine sense was attached to floated to another branch, getting closer to the stage. Originally, Ye Chuan just wanted to train spirit manipulation merit law and was casually strolling. But, his interest was suddenly triggered. He wanted to look how different this Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciple Ouyang Huo was, and also wanted to see who would win this match. Chapter 618: Bone Crushing Crazy Demon ¡°You are not I, Shen Wanli¡¯s opponent, admit defeat.¡± Cold Spring Sect¡¯s bald, burly fellow sized up Ouyang Huo who was wearing bright red attire and showed disdain towards the latter without hiding in confidence. One was over two meters tall and the other was even shorter than ordinary women. A fist of the bald burly man was almost as big as the latter¡¯s head. How could he fight against him? The cultivation base of both of them was Rank 5 Daoist Master realm, but Cold Spring Sect¡¯s bald burly man who was skilled at close combat and had innate super strength clearly look down upon Ouyang Huo. Before getting onto the stage, he was also somewhat nervous and disturbed, not knowing what kind of opponent he would encounter. After all, Heavenly Yao Sect had an abundance of capable experts. If he encountered a genius disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect on the first match, then he feared that the battle might be very difficult and he might even get beaten easily. But now, upon seeing Ouyang Huo, he finally was at ease. Against such an opponent who looked fragile with a short figure, if he couldn¡¯t win, then that would definitely be unnatural. Below the stage, people also made all sorts of comments. They also uniformly determined that this match was the loss of Heavenly Yao Sect. Dispatching a fellow like Ouyang Huo, wasn¡¯t that clearly asking for a defeat? It should be known that that bald burly fellow was a close combat expert, but sending a short fellow who looked too weak to withstand a gust of wind, Heavenly Yao Sect was too arrogant, still, since it was already arranged, it was not good to alter, he who rides a tiger is afraid of dismount. People talked in whispers. The originally exciting match already had no suspense, the only thing that was interesting was, how many hits could this Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciple withstand? Some busybodies were already betting, the return for betting on Ouyang Huo was ten times, someone who was even bolder actually betted that Ouyang Huo wouldn¡¯t even be able to last one round. As an imposing cultivation overlord, someone betting that their disciple wouldn¡¯t last one round, for Heavenly Yao Sect, this was a humiliation! In this Grand Sacrifice Competition of Heavenly Yao Sect, some had come from far away to fawn on Heavenly Yao Sect and attach to it without any complaints, there were even some sects that were not even qualified to attach with Heavenly Yao Sect. But, some clearly had come to watch the bustling, hoping Heavenly Yao Sect had disturbance in the Grand Sacrifice Competition and become a joke. There were also devils mixed in secret. Heavenly Yao Sect had enforced tight security, not only to make a show of their strength but also to guard against devils and enemies, preventing them from creating a disturbance. But, even if the defense was better, it was still impossible to guard against real experts. The disturbance in Small Yao Lake last night was a direct example. After this news spread, various large sects had some other thoughts, and the unlawful undercurrent seemed to be surging. ¡°You say, will you leave behind the left leg or right leg?¡± Ouyang Huo faintly asked, and placing his hands behind his back, he leisurely stood on the stage. He was calm and indifferent, ignoring the comments of onlookers, as if he was already accustomed to people¡¯s doubts. And also like an ambitious and proud person, nobody entered his eyes. He was far more arrogant than the bald burly fellow, Shen Wanli. ¡°What, leave behind what?¡± Shen Wanli didn¡¯t hear clearly. ¡°Still didn¡¯t understand? Then, it will be as I please.¡± Ouyang Huo¡¯s eyes suddenly shone with pallid light, and hardly after he finished speaking, he moved. The people below the stage just saw him transforming into a wisp of red light as he rushed forward. Soon afterward, a blood-curdling scream resounded. When everyone came back to their senses, the scene they saw made their scalp tingle. On the stage, Cold Spring Sect¡¯s disciple, Shen Wanli, was already lying on a blood pool with only one leg. The other leg was in the hand of Ouyang Huo. In an instant, Ouyang Huo had torn off a leg of this bald burly fellow. Poor bald burly fellow, this time, he finally understood the meaning of Ouyang Huo. Unfortunately, it was already too late. His face turned ghastly pale and nearly lost his consciousness due to the pain. ¡°Remember, I am Ouyang Huo, some calls me Crazy Ouyang, and others also call me Bone Crushing Crazy Demon. You can address me as however you want. Later, if you cannot accept this result, then you can look for me at any time, at that time, I don¡¯t mind tearing off the other leg too.¡± Ouyang Huo casually threw the bloody leg off the stage which just happened to be where a group of female disciples was staying. They were so scared that they screamed and retreated. Now, no one found this very thin short person wearing a bright red war robe funny and no one dared to laugh at him. He instantly tore off his opponent¡®s leg. Even though the bald burly fellow had the same Rank 5 Daoist Master realm cultivation base, he actually was unable to respond. What kind of speed was that, what kind of strength was that? People were shocked and became absent-minded for a long time. Ouyang Huo with strange appearance used bloody and fierce means to change the impression of various large sects¡¯ experts. The disciples of various sects who had the same cultivation realm trembled in their hearts and secretly thanked heaven for not being the one on the stage. They don¡¯t want to run into this Bone Crushing Crazy Demon. Even a Rank 6 Daoist Master realm or even Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert might not be the opponent of this ferocious fellow. Heavenly Yao Sect truly was Heavenly Yao Sect, it deserved to be called the first under heaven sect, a casually chosen Rank 5 Daoist Master realm young disciple was already so amazing! After coming back to their senses, people finally understood why Heavenly Yao Sect sent the same realm younger disciple, Ouyang Huo, to deal with Cold Spring Sect¡¯s bald burly fellow. With the means of Ouyang Huo, not to mention Rank 5 Daoist Master realm opponent, he could even skip a rank and fight against Rank 6 Daoist Master realm elites! On the tall tree, Ye Chuan was also shocked. When Ouyang Huo had got on the stage, he had already detected his unusualness and knew that this fellow was not simple, but he had never thought that his means were so ferocious. This time, Heavenly Yao Sect truly displayed their style, awing many people. But, for a first match of Grand Sacrifice Competition to be so bloody, wasn¡¯t that too fierce? Ye Chuan shook his head and sighed inwardly. Millions of years ago, Heavenly Yao Sect was also very powerful, and in the competition, sect¡¯s experts and devils also were ruthless, but, it was not so bloody. Often, they forced their opponent to withdraw. But now, millions of years had passed, Blue Eyed Yao Empress had already disappeared without a trace, and Heavenly Yao Sect was also no longer the past Heavenly Yao Sect. The disciples of the sect were full of bloodthirst and ruthlessness, very far from the original objective Blue Eyed Yao Empress had when she established Heavenly Yao Sect. It was unknown whether Ouyang Huo, this Bone Crushing Crazy Demon, was ruthless by himself or Elder Tianqing and others intentionally cultivated him like this. Heavenly Yao Sect which used to be the heaven of peace now was a foul place with thugs everywhere. ¡°Second match, Heavenly Yao Sect versus Spiritual Mountain School!¡± When people were commenting, the host came out and declared the beginning of the second match. A woman wearing a white robe with long sleeves flew onto the stage on her flying sword. She was lithe and graceful, her skin was white like snow. She was a female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School. Her natural beauty made people who saw her love her. Immediately upon going on the stage, she smiled and bowed towards the audience, receiving a wave of applause. This female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School was beautiful and her mind was also extraordinary. She knew how to make others happy and how to display her strong points. After stepping on the stage, she was in all smiles, but, when she straighten her waist and looked up, she suddenly couldn¡¯t smile. A fiery figure was flying over from below the stage. Ouyang Huo who had just stepped out from the stage had returned again. Still this fellow? Facing such a beautiful female disciple, would Ouyang Huo still tear off her leg like before? The female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School fell into a daze, the onlooking people below the stage were also the same. They were greatly surprised. Chapter 619: Bloody Means ¡°Spiritual Mountain School¡¯s disciple Zhu Qianqian has seen senior brother Ouyang!¡± After a moment, the female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School came back to her senses and gracefully bowed to salute respectfully. Just a moment ago, Cold Spring Sect¡¯s that bald burly fellow was severely injured. He hadn¡¯t died but had become a waste. Now one could forget that scene of a bloody torn leg. After the bald burly fellow entered the stage, he had displayed his impressive brute force and was overbearing in front of this Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciple, thus, suffering that kind of serious injury could be justified saying he had only himself to blame, but what about now? The opponent was a weak woman, moreover, she gave him a smiling welcome, would Ouyang Huo still use such a ruthless means? There was a saying, smiling face wouldn¡¯t be slapped, this female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School, Zhu Qianqian, was smooth and slick. She expressed goodwill before the battle, leaving herself a route of retreat. Although she was more powerful than Ouyang Huo, was Rank 6 Daoist Master elite, she was still cautious and gave the impression of weakness with her identity as a woman after entering the stage. Ordinarily, with this move, when associating with the disciples of various large sects, it would go smoothly, unfortunately, she was wrong this time. Ouyang Huo just stood with his hands on his back with a cold and indifferent expression, looking at this beautiful female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School, and only said a sentence, ¡°Left leg or right leg?¡± ¡°Senior brother Ouyang, I¡­¡± The female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School turned pale. In a real battle, she might be able to defeat Ouyang Huo, this Bone Crushing Crazy Demon, but thinking of the end fate of that bald burly disciple of Cold Spring Sect, she couldn¡¯t help shivering. She didn¡¯t dare to even imagine that happening to herself. ¡°Our Spiritual Mountain School has come from afar to celebrate your honorable sect¡¯s grand sacrifice ceremony, senior brother Ouyang, we don¡¯t need to¡­¡± Zhu Qianqian, the female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School, racked her brains to think of a way to eliminate Ouyang Huo¡¯s killing intent, but, before she finished speaking, Ouyang Huo suddenly made a move. Instantly, a heatwave blew against her face, and looking forward, she saw only a wisp of red light rapidly approaching her. When Ouyang Huo said he would make a move, he would make a move. When he suddenly made a move, his palms became red as if they were bleeding, and his qi and blood circulated crazily, making gurgling sounds. His short and bony figure instantly erupted with incredibly violent strength. He treated men and women equally without discrimination and he also didn¡¯t have any prejudice. Merely, this impartial treatment made people feel chill. He was ruthless against even a weak-looking woman! ¡°Noble son Ouyang, don¡¯t¡­¡± The female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School screamed and became pale. Although she screamed but her reaction was powerful and not slow, unlike that bald burly fellow. When the hands of Ouyang Huo was about to reach her body, she flashed and stepped aside. Then, her long sleeves fluttered and as if a cage, trapped Ouyang Huo in it, at the same time, she opened her mouth and a whisp of pallid light shot out, flying straight towards Ouyang Huo¡¯s glabella who was under the cover of the long sleeve. It was a flying sword, extremely thin, only a finger wide green flying sword. If it hit Ouyang Huo in such close proximity, then it would definitely pierce through his glabella and exit from the back of his head! On the surface, the female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School showed goodwill, but when she truly made a move, she was similarly ferocious. Her long sleeves were not so simple, rather were exclusive killing weapons of Spiritual Mountain School¡¯s female disciples. At the critical moment, it could be hard and also soft. It could also transform into a rope to break the neck of the opponent and also become as sharp as a spear and pierce through the opponent¡¯s head. Coupled with a flying sword, their might was even more powerful! Compared to Heavenly Yao Sect, Spiritual Mountain School couldn¡¯t be considered a large sect, but it was also not ordinary among the sects in the world. In history, this sect had given rise to many well-known female experts. Zhu Qiaoqiao who was beautiful and moving on the surface was cultivated vigorously by the sect as the younger generation expert. Even though she was young in age, her cultivation had already reached Rank 6 Daoist Master realm. With time, she would reach Peak Daoist Master realm or might even reach Half Sage realm! Tear, the watertight long sleeves were forcibly torn and a fiery red figure rushed out. But, he just happened to be in the way of the whistling flying sword. ¡°Well, didn¡¯t he just deliver himself to his own destruction?¡± ¡°This disciple of Spiritual Mountain School is pretty good, her cultivation is a rank higher, and she really is powerful!¡± People watched on with wide eyes, cheering for the female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School. Naturally, the onlookers of Heavenly Yao Sect were an exception. They were tense upon seeing the situation of Ouyang Huo. ¡°With just a tiny flying sword, do you think you can be wanton in our Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± Ouyang Huo coldly snorted and at the critical moment, with a flick of his finger, he actually sent the already close flying sword flying away. Immediately afterward, he accelerated and before Zhu Qianqian could retreat, he grabbed her leg. ¡°No¡­¡± The female disciple of Spiritual Mountain School screamed, then, there was no more. Ouyang Huo had torn her into two pieces, dyeing more than half the stage red. What Bone Crushing Crazy Demon, this was clearly a beast, was a lunatic! Below the stage, a lot of people close their eyes, unable to endure watching the scene on the stage. Elder Tianqing and others who were sitting on the high platform, however, didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid as if they were already used to this kind of scene. Soon, some people cleaned the stage and announced the third match. This time, Ouyang Huo simply continued to stand on the stage, waiting for the next challenger. With Rank 5 Daoist Master realm, against Rank 6 Daoist Master realm, not only was he not defeated, instead won in a head-on battle, how powerful was this Ouyang Huo fellow? People were shocked. They bitterly hated this ruthless Ouyang Huo, but they couldn¡¯t deny that this fellow¡¯s fierce means intimidated many people. In this Grand Sacrifice Competition, over a hundred sects had come from afar to participate, but for a period of time, watching Ouyang Huo standing on the stage, no one dared to challenge him. ¡°There are many sects under heaven, but is there no one that dares to come to the stage?¡± Not long after, Ouyang Huo began to provoke. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples also shouted at the top of their voice. Instantly, only the voices of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples could be heard. But, a majestic voice coming from the distance peak make their complexion change. ¡°I came, I want to see if you, this Bone Crushing Crazy Demon, can tear me into two halves or this lordship can behead you!¡± After a good while, finally, a disciple went on the stage. He was an expert that came from Mount Yin Sect. Although he was not that old in age, his cultivation had already reached Rank 7 Daoist Master realm. He was called Falcon of Mount Yin, and he was well-known around Mount Yin. A splendid battle was about to start. Below the stage, people opened their eyes wide, waiting for a good battle. The leaf in which Ye Chuan had attached his divine sense, however, left. After watching two fierce battles, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t continue to watch, rather quietly left. The splendid competitions attracted overwhelming numbers of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. Although some guards were still standing on lookout posts, they were also repeatedly looking over and were somewhat absent-minded. At this moment, the guards of various peaks were somewhat negligent. If he didn¡¯t take this chance to sneak into Heavenly Yao Hall, then what time was he waiting? Ye Chuan was sober-minded. Although his physical body was still sitting cross-legged in the room, a wisp of divine sense attached to the leaf was getting farther and farther away, drifting straight towards Heavenly Yao Peak¡¯s Heavenly Yao Hall. He had only one objective, that was, sealed Heaven Concealing Umbrella! Chapter 220: Puppet Gues t On the Heavenly Yao Square, when the competition was getting more and more exciting, Ye Chuan quietly arrived at Heavenly Yao Peak. This was the tallest peak within Heavenly Yao Sect. On the summit of this peak, there was an ancient and majestic palace. Although most of the disciples had gone to watch the competition, this place was still strictly guarded. In the forest around this palace, there were many restrictions, and patrolling guards were moving back and forth around. It was unknown how many hidden lookouts were hidden in secret places. A leaf lightly drifted over and landed on a tree over a thousand meters away from Heavenly Yao Peak. Relying on his powerful spirit, Ye Chuan attached his divine sense on a leaf and smoothly arrived at the vicinity of Heavenly Yao Hall. But, he didn¡¯t immediately burst in, rather observed all around while waiting quietly. Most of the disciples and guards of Heavenly Yao Sect were attracted by the competition. This was a good opportunity for Ye Chuan. But, if he wished to break into Heavenly Yao Hall passing through these layer upon layer of restrictions, then it would be best to have a helper who can help him lure out the experts of the final defense line. At this moment, Nan Tiandu had gone to participate in the competition, Old Demon of Mount Yin was assisting him. Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend Abasi, Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo had a distinctive appearance, making it easy to give away their position, moreover, he also couldn¡¯t easily expose his reserve forces. Therefore, there was only one suitable helper, the puppet doll Hei Kui. After considering for a bit, Ye Chuan thought of the great devil who attached himself to a puppet doll, Hei Kui. In the room where he was sitting cross-legged, he used a technique and the old devil cultivating inside the Cyan Lotus Space turned into a wisp of green light and came out. Afterward, stepping on a small flying sword, he flew towards Heavenly Yao Hall. Now, among the followers beside Ye Chuan, the cultivation of puppet doll Hei Kui was almost at the end, but his small body and unique puppet techniques were his saving grace, which sometimes would play an unexpected role. At least in Heavenly Yao Sect, compared to Diamond Ape King and others, he could conceal his traces even better. After an hour, a puppet doll quickly arrived at Ye Chuan¡¯s side. ¡°Hei Kui, see those two heavily armored guards at the entrance of Heavenly Yao Cave? Think of a way to lure them away!¡± Ye Chuan instructed which directly resounded in the mind of Hei Kui. ¡°Okay, Your Excellency, watch me!¡± The old devil Hei Kui nodded his head and gingerly walked out, bypassing layer upon layer of restrictions and guards and arrived at a grove outside the Heavenly Yao Hall. Now, as long as he lured those two heavily armored guards, standing on the left and right side of the entrance gate away, Ye Chuan could directly burst in. But, no matter what happened outside, and even though earth-shaking cheers were coming from the direction of Heavenly Yao Square, these two heavily armored guards stood still. Their energy fluctuation was also strong. Amazingly, these two were Peak Daoist Master realm experts who were just half a step away from breaking through to Half Sage realm. With these guards coupled with restrictions and numerous guards inside and outside the Heavenly Yao Hall, even a Half Sage realm expert would have a hard time breaking in. Upon seeing he was just ten or so meters away from those two heavily armored guards, the old devil Hei Kui took out a prop from his space ring, and disguised as an almost two meters tall burly fellow. The entire body was divided into three sections, the upper part was fake, the lower part was also fake, only the small middle section was the real body. Afterward, he stepped on the flying sword and crazily rushed towards Heavenly Yao Hall. ¡°Who¡¯s there, stop!¡± The two heavily armored guards standing at the entrance gate quickly saw old devil Hei Kui and their expression changed. Although the cultivation of old devil Hei Kui was not up to much, as a former great devil who walked unimpeded in the Wilderness World, he had various means and was adept in disguising. Now, his disguise was perfect, he looked just like an overbearing burly fellow. With such a fellow rushing over from just ten meters away, these two experts guarding Heavenly Yao Sect were startled. Siiing, the two heavily armored guards simultaneously pull out their sharp weapon with dense killing intent. The patrolling guards not far away also rushed over upon seeing this. In addition, the shouting sounds and alarm instantly resounded, and more and more troops rushed over from all directions. The old devil Hei Kui, however, remained unmoved. Not only he didn¡¯t stop, instead, he rushed up faster on his flying sword. ¡°Intruding my Heavenly Yao Hall, kill without pardon!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± The two heavily armored guards were startled and also shocked. For a moment, they were actually unable to see through this great devil¡¯s cultivation and identity. But, they rushed out in unison and attacked, sparing no strength. Kacha, the body of old devil Hei Kui was cut into three pieces. A single sword slash was enough? The two heavily armored guards were dumbfounded. They somewhat found it hard to believe this. These two shouldered a heavy responsibility to guard the last line of defense. They were not aiming to achieve the best possible result, but rather trying to avoid making mistakes. This sword slash was used by them to just block this old devil, nothing more. But, who would have thought that the battle would end just like this. The latter was killed so easily, he was cut into three pieces. When did their sword move become so powerful? A cold wind blew and a leaf flew towards the Heavenly Yao Hall, then entered from the crack of the entrance gate. Taking advantage of the time when those two heavily armored guards were distracted, Ye Chuan smoothly sneaked into Heavenly Yao Hall. Outside, old devil Hei Kui retreat upon seeing the chance. As a result, the numerous guards of Heavenly Yao Sect saw an unbelievable scene. Among the three halves of an uninvited guest, a section suddenly jumped up and stepping on a flying sword, flew into the nearby grove. ¡°Chase, we are fooled, that is a dwarf!¡± ¡°Chase, don¡¯t let him run away!¡± The heavily armored guards roared loudly, but they didn¡¯t move at all. They even retreated and stood at two sides of the entrance gate again. Even in such moments, they didn¡¯t forget their mission. And upon hearing their roar, the numerous guards who had rushed over immediately responded. They rushed into the thick forest. Compared to the guards stationed in other peaks, the guards here had a higher cultivation base and all were the elites of the elites. The lowest cultivation was Rank 1 Daoist Master realm. They roared to kill all along the way while chasing. But, no one knew that the real uninvited guest had already sneaked into the Heavenly Yao Hall. A cold wind blew inside from the crack along with a leaf. Ye Chuan withdrew his aura and gingerly made the leaf float forward. He didn¡¯t dare to make any superfluous movements. Not to mention there were two strong guards standing outside the door, he also didn¡¯t know what dangers were inside. Under the unclear situation, it was best to be cautious. He drifted forward while secretly observing the Heavenly Yao Hall. In addition, he carefully avoided the restrictions inside the Heavenly Yao Hall. Some powerful restrictions, let alone a leaf, it would even be triggered by dust. After causing havoc last time, Ye Chuan returned to Heavenly Yao Hall again. Last time, he had openly come to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace and there were numerous experts in Heavenly Yao Hall, but, without the orders of White Haired Heavenly Empress, no one dared to act rashly. This time, however, was different. He had come in secret to seize Heaven Concealing Umbrella that was even more powerful than Heaven Burning Furnace. Once his whereabouts was exposed, this divine sense attached to a leaf would not be able to escape. Even the main body at the distant Guest Receiving Peak might not escape unscathed, ultimately failing his life-saving plan! Chapter 620: Puppet Gues Chapter 220: Puppet Guest On the Heavenly Yao Square, when the competition was getting more and more exciting, Ye Chuan quietly arrived at Heavenly Yao Peak. This was the tallest peak within Heavenly Yao Sect. On the summit of this peak, there was an ancient and majestic palace.

Once his whereabouts was exposed, this divine sense attached to a leaf would not be able to escape. Even the main body at the distant Guest Receiving Peak might not escape unscathed, ultimately failing his life-saving plan! Chapter 621: Ancient Sword Formation Even though there was no wind, the leaf where Ye Chuan¡¯s divine sense was attached to still drifted in Heavenly Yao Hall as he carefully observed this familiar and also unfamiliar palace. Thinking about those days, this palace was built by him and Blue Eyed Yao Empress. The first cornerstone was something he moved from the distant North Sea by using a great technique, which was as big as a small mountain; the wooden beam stretched over the entire audience hall was something he seized from underwater residence of a great devil; the stone pillars supporting the roof was something he and Blue Eyed Yao Empresses personally carved with numerous complicated patterns¡­¡­ Millions of years had passed, but stone pillars still had those patterns. Their maintenance was very good, the patterns looked like they were carved just yesterday. The people who once built this palace with each brick and each tile, however, had already disappeared without any news. Ye Chuan was somewhat sentimental and became absentminded for a good while as he continued to size up this grand palace. Compared to Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Could Mist Hall, Heavenly Yao Hall was even larger. Altogether, there were nine times nine eighty-one stone pillars. It would appear every stone pillar was exactly the same, but the carved patterns on them were different. Every pattern represented a kind of restriction. In other words, these stone pillars implied that there were a total of eighty-one restrictions here. The ground was inlaid with ash grey slabstones. Those slabstones also had different patterns carved on them, forming another kind of restriction. Unlike stone pillars, all slabstones added up to form a single restriction, but it was eternally changing and even more dangerous. If this restriction was triggered carelessly, perhaps, the ground might cave in, making the intruder fall into a bottomless abyss, or he might be transferred to an ancient ominous domain. Ye Chuan was familiar with the restrictions of Heavenly Yao Hall, but because of this reason, he was even more careful. Now, the current Heavenly Yao Hall was no longer the former Heavenly Yao Hall, and it was grander, but the current Ye Chuan was also no longer the former Ye Chuan who dominated the entire Wilderness World. These ancient restrictions he had personally laid out in former days, he might not necessarily be able to crack them all. If he fell into the trap, then he will similarly be fraught with grim possibilities. Moreover, after such a long period of time, he didn¡¯t know whether the later generation of Heavenly Yao Sect had added new restrictions and traps or not. If Heaven Concealing Umbrella was sealed in this Heavenly Yao Hall like Tianku had said, then where was it? Ye Chuan calmly looked all around. At first glance, it would appear the hall was empty and there was nowhere that looked like a place where a treasure could be stored. In addition, he also didn¡¯t sense any treasure¡¯s aura. But, this place, however, was the safest place in the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. Even if a Half Sage realm expert intruded in without understanding the situation, then he might be lost in the midst of layer upon layer of restrictions. If Heaven Concealing Umbrella that was lost in the Death Abyss in former days had truly fallen in Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s hands, then this truly was the best place to hide it. Under the floor, above the beam, inside the wall¡­ Ye Chuan¡¯s divine sense slowly scanned the hall, searching every unassuming corner. The mysterious Yinyang Life Wheel greatly damaged his vitality, but there was a profit in this disaster, his spirit had transformed and reached a completely new realm. He spread out his divine sense, even the places which his eyes couldn¡¯t see, his divine sense could infiltrate and carefully search for a trace. After a long time, Ye Chuan felt his spirit was somewhat exhausted and when he found it was hard to carry on, he finally noticed a somewhat unusual place. That was a throne on the high platform at the end of the hall. It was a place where Heavenly Empress governed from behind the curtain. It was a big chair with dragon carvings. Ye Chuan vaguely sensed a wisp of familiar aura, an aura he had not sensed for a long time. ¡°Heaven Concealing Umbrella, truly is Heaven Concealing Umbrella that accompanied this lord in those years to sweep through the Wilderness World and forcibly suppress over three thousand Sages¡­¡± Ye Chuan was excited and the leaf where Ye Chuan¡¯s divine sense was attached to suddenly floated towards the end of the hall on its own without any wind. Originally, in this trip, Ye Chuan just wanted to probe, nothing more, he was not prepared to make a move so quickly. But, sensing the aura of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, his former body-protecting treasure, he was excited and he went in to straightforwardly seize it, whatever the consequences. This was a rare chance, the overwhelming majority of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples had gone to the site of grand competition, and with the cover of the puppet doll, Hei Kui, he sneaked in without anybody knowing, in addition, he found the location of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, if he didn¡¯t make a move now, then what time should he wait? A small leaf advanced forward in the sky. Sometimes, it accelerated, sometimes, descended on the ground, continue to roll forward on the ground. If someone was present here, then he would have noticed that this leaf was making a mysterious trajectory. Ye Chuan was very cautious. He used his spirit power to the limit and controlled the leaf, dodging the layer upon layer of restrictions. Although a long period of time had already passed, many restrictions of Heavenly Yao Hall were the ancient restrictions laid down when Heavenly Yao Sect was established. For average people, these ancient restrictions had astonishing might and almost impossible to crack. Ye Chuan, however, clearly understand them, he gingery bypassed them and advanced forward. What truly threatened him were newly added restrictions in the millions of years or the changes done to ancient restrictions by later generations. From the door to the big chair with dragon carvings at the end of the hall, it was roughly a thousand meters or so. Outside, such an extremely short distance could be covered in an instant, but in Heavenly Yao Hall, Ye Chuan had to spend almost half an hour to cover this short distance. He was very careful, even more careful than in ancient graves worlds of Sea Demon Clan¡¯s holy land. When he was just ten or so meters away from the big chair with dragon carvings, the aura of Heaven Concealing Umbrella gradually became stronger. Now, Ye Chuan was certain that Heaven Concealing Umbrella was concealed inside this big chair. As long as he floated over and split this big chair, he could take out Heaven Concealing Umbrella, this great killing weapon that had accompanied him as he walked through countless trials and hardships. Afterward, he could forcibly break into Heavenly Yao Cave to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. The closer the distance, the more excited Ye Chuan was as he saw the hope of saving Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. But, at that time, danger suddenly came. Swish, swish, swish! A series of wind-breaking sounds resounded as 81 flying swords suddenly appeared in the sky. They were divided into cyan, red, blue and white, four colors. They floated above the leaf, completely surrounding it. Next, they whistled forward with towering sword qi, wanting to cut this leaf that intruded this hall into pieces. They were so fierce that not to mention a tiny leaf, they would even rip the divine sense apart! Genius Four Sword Formation? Ye Chuan was startled, quickly recognizing the formation. As for the tiny leaf, it spun rapidly. Swish, 81 flying swords simultaneously arrived. Instantly, the leaf where Ye Chuan¡¯s divine sense was attached to only had one half left. The other half was already cut into small pieces. Afterward, Cyan, Red, Blue and White, these four colored radiances flashed, and 81 flying swords suddenly returned to the former position and rotated rapidly, preparing for another wave of attacks, making buzzing sounds as their blades trembled. Damn it, who arranged such an ancient sword formation here? Ye Chuan was startled and also angry as the remaining leaf retreated rapidly. Millions of years ago, in the era where Sages were found everywhere, this Genius Four Sword Formation was not an ordinary ancient sword formation, it would get stronger facing a stronger opponent. As long as it had enough energy source, even a Sage realm expert would find it hard to escape forcibly. Ye Chuan was not unfamiliar with this kind of sword formation. If he were his former self, then he could still attempt to break it, but, in a wisp of divine sense state, it was impossible. Swish, swish, swish! The wind-breaking sounds resounded again as 81 high quality flying swords flew over at full speed again. This time, one half of the leaf was cut again, leaving behind only one-fourth of the original leaf. On the distant Guest Receiving Peak, Ye Chuan¡¯s body let out a muffled groan. The moment, the leaf was cut, his spirit also suffered the injury, and he retreated without any hesitation. ¡°What¡¯s that sound?¡± The thick door of Heavenly Yao Hall was pushed open and the two loyal heavily armored guards entered as they indistinctly heard the movement inside the hall. Just after opening the door, they saw 81 four colored flying swords floating in midair. Their complexion immediately changed and subconsciously pulled out their sharp sword. They then carefully looked around but discovered nothing unusual in the empty hall. There was no sign of any intrusion and there was not even a trace on the ground. ¡°Strange, why did the ancient sword formation activate on its own?¡± ¡°Is storm going to occur today? Or, this restriction was mistakenly activated?¡± The two heavily armored guards were somewhat puzzled. They had guarded Heavenly Yao Hall for several hundred years, but they had never seen this kind of circumstance. They wanted to immediately report to Elder Tianqing and subconsciously grabbed the horn hanging on their waist, but after thinking for a bit, they dropped this matter as they saw nothing unusual. They didn¡¯t dare to lightly alarm Elder Tianqing. When they were in the midst of confusion, they didn¡¯t notice a leaf floating out from beside their legs. Chapter 622: Nan Batian When the two heavily armored guards were still puzzled and feeling anxious and fearful, Ye Chuan had smoothly returned to Guest Receiving Peak and his spirit and body joined together. As for puppet doll Hei Kui, he had already returned ahead. Although this old devil¡¯s cultivation base was not up to much, he got rid of pursuing troops using his various means. Unfortunately, his cultivation was slow and he was unable to breakthrough, otherwise, he would not be any inferior to Old Demon of Mount Yin and Rain Demon. In the room, Ye Chuan slowly opened his eyes. His face was pale and weary. In order to nurture and refine Yinyang Life Wheel, he had used a large amount of vitality, thus his physical body was exhausted. And in Heavenly Yao Hall, the injury to his spirit was also not light. He was almost trapped in that ancient sword formation. He appeared even more exhausted now. ¡°Your Excellency, did you let out your spirit for the spirit travel?¡± Rain Demon asked, worried. Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King also came. They similarly were also frowning in worries. Previously, when Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit was nearly shattered by Yinyang Life Wheel, these three were entirely unaware of that situation next door. But, when the old devil Hei Kui hastily returned, it was impossible to keep them in the dark. After learning the matters from the old devil Hei Kui, they were very worried. They even thought to kill all the way to Heavenly Yao Hall to meet Ye Chuan. At the final moment, the assassin Rain Demon stopped everyone, recalling the instruction of Ye Chuan. With the absence of Nan Tiandu and Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon, this Peak Daoist Master realm assassin, vaguely became the leader among the remaining three. His calm and composed way to deal with matters and rich experience made him gain the confidence of these two super experts. ¡°Yes, I went to Heavenly Yao Peak and successfully entered Heavenly Yao Hall. Unfortunately, Heavenly Yao Sect is too tricky to deal with, and there was no treasure inside.¡± Ye Chuan smiled. He didn¡¯t intend to speak more in front of Rain Demon and others. Although the followers around him were powerful, there was something that needed to be solved personally. Thus, speaking more was unprofitable and only make them worry. ¡°Your Excellency, didn¡¯t you fear encountering Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s peak experts?¡± Rain Demon shook his head with a bitter smile. He knew that there must be a reason for Ye Chuan to take a risk to go to Heavenly Yao Peak, but since Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak, he also didn¡¯t ask, merely, admired the guts of Ye Chuan. Immediately upon entering the room, he had noticed that Ye Chuan was different from before, although he seemed exhausted, he vaguely felt as if his cultivation had progressed, but, upon sensing carefully, he discovered that Ye Chuan was still in Peak Daoist Master realm, had yet to breakthrough to Half Sage realm, this made him puzzled. He was unable to see through Ye Chuan¡¯s real cultivation realm. With Ye Chuan¡¯s current ability, he could sweep through the experts of the same realm, but what kind of place was Heavenly Yao Sect? It was a grand cultivation overlord claimed to be the first under heaven. Experts could be found everywhere. In such a place, sending out the spirit in board daylight, if he had accidentally encountered any Half Sage realm expert of Heavenly Yao Sect, then wouldn¡¯t that be tantamount to delivering himself to their doorstep? Spirit travel had always been the most vulnerable state for cultivators. The higher the cultivation base, the more cautious one would be to use spiritual travel. If one¡¯s spirit was accidentally caught, then it would be refined into a supplement pill for other people. There were some great devils who did this specifically, devouring the other people¡¯s spirits. In other people¡¯s territory, what¡¯s more, in the territory of Heavenly Yao Sect, this kind of cultivation overlord, dared to use spirit travel in broad daylight, he feared only Ye Chuan would dare to do so! ¡°It¡¯s not about afraid or not afraid, merely worth it or not. If facing the danger of suffering the loss of a hundred years efficacy to the spirit has a chance to increase a thousand years efficacy, then these kinds of risks are absolutely worth the danger! In life, no matter what you do, the path of cultivation, or average farmer, blacksmith, or government official career, all, in fact, is a choice and taking risks. Whether risks are worth it or not, whether they could achieve some kind of achievement in the end depends on the individual.¡± Ye Chuan paused, and said, ¡°I am a little tired, you all can leave now. Remember, don¡¯t easily go out unless there is a special situation. In addition, let me know after Rhodes returns.¡± Ye Chuan spoke and slowly closed his eyes, beginning to recover his strength. This was to prepare for the next move. Rain Demon and others bowed and withdrew quietly, not daring to disturb Ye Chuan any longer. The old devil Hei Kui also bowed and transforming into a wisp of cyan light, entered into Cyan Lotus Space in Ye Chuan¡¯s body. The room quickly became quiet again. Ye Chuan calmed down and quickly entered the cultivation state to recover. At night, when the darkness shrouded the earth, a segment of the grand sacrifice competition finally came to an end. The sounds of knocking on the door woke up Ye Chuan. And upon hearing his response, a thin figure entered. Old Demon of Mount Yin who had just returned hastily came to report the situation to Ye Chuan, ¡°Your Excellency, I am back.¡± ¡°How¡¯s the result today?¡± Ye Chuan asked. ¡°Kakaka, the result is pretty good.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and excitedly said, ¡°Today, Nan Tiandu entered the stage four times, and he even won three matches straight. In the beginning, upon seeing Nan Tiandu entered the stage with the alias of Nan Batian and declaring that there was no one that could match him in the entire south sea, all the onlookers laughed at him. But, soon, they were unable to laugh. Including an elite disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect, Nan Tiandu flattened his opponents in one hit. And now, everyone is aware of the originally unknown Bellowing Waves Sect. All say that Bellowing Waves Sect is an overlord of the south sea, kakaka¡­¡­¡± Recalling the great competition of today, Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed heartily as if the one who took the stage and not Nan Tiandu, rather himself, this millennium old evil spirit. ¡°Good, what a good no match throughout the entire south sea!¡± Ye Chuan also laughed. Without Old Demon of Mount Yin recounting in detail, he could imagine the appearance of Nan Tiandu jumping into the stage. He was a dignified Half Sage realm expert, if he was defeated, then that would be unnatural. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say he entered the stage four times, how come he only win three matches?¡± ¡°As for the final match, upon seeing Nan Tiandu standing on the stage with his sword, no one dared to go on the stage, kakaka¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed. In today¡¯s competition, Nan Tiandu greatly showed-off on the stage. But, Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s contributions also cannot go unnoticed. Nan Tiandu¡¯s Cyan Dragon Moon Blade was already frightening enough, as a result, Old Demon of Mount Yin thought of a way to change its look, making it appear even more terrifying. In addition, with the powerful cultivation base and innate strength of Nan Tiandu, his opponents were scared out of their wits and no one dared to step onto the stage. The reputation of Nan Batian rapidly spread and no one dared to laugh at him. ¡°Well, good job, continue doing so, the more arrogant the better, create even more commotion in the final match!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. He was somewhat looking forward to the final match of the Grand Sacrifice Competition. This time, in Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Grand Sacrifice Competition, many sects had come to participate with their genius disciples. But, with Nan Tiandu¡¯s cultivation base and extraordinary strength, Ye Chuan believed that Nan Tiandu would reach the final match for sure. The first day had already attracted so many people, the final match would definitely be even more brilliant. When Nan Tiandu¡¯s name spread widely to every corner of Heavenly Yao Sect, and when the final match was pushed to the limit, could White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi continue to stay in seclusion? Ye Chuan didn¡¯t care about the final victory of this grand sacrifice competition, whether they would be able to lure out Heavenly Empress or not so that he could sneak into Heavenly Yao Hall to seize Heaven Concealing Umbrella, then forcibly break into Heavenly Yao Cave to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was important! Today, on the surface, just ancient sword formation inside Heavenly Yao Hall prevented Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit from seizing Heaven Concealing Umbrella, but the one who truly shrouded Ye Chuan¡¯s heart was still White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi. Without a means to draw her out, it would be much more dangerous. ¡°Kakaka, okay, the more commotion the better. But, the opponents are getting more and more difficult to deal with. Allegedly, Nan Tiandu will encounter a powerful opponent tomorrow, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s elite disciple, Ouyang Huo!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin frowned with some worries. Although Nan Tiandu was powerful, in order to avoid being too shocking, he had been hiding his true strength. Meanwhile, his opponents, however, were getting more and more powerful. Tomorrow, he had to fight against that ferocious Ouyang Huo, could he still obtain an easy win while concealing his strength? ¡°Ouyang Huo? That fellow who calls himself Bone Cracking Crazy Demon?¡± Ye Chuan was somewhat surprised and became a little solemn. The cultivation base of that fellow Ouyang Huo was not high, but his means were ferocious and he was by no means inferior to some great devils. His moves were sinister and ruthless, how can Nan Tiandu deal with him while concealing his strength as well as a big killing weapon? This unexpected news made Ye Chuan worried, but he was also looking forward a little. This competition was getting more interesting than expected. It was also far less easy and simple than imagined. Chapter 623: An Explosive Battle A night quickly passed. The night looked calm, but, in fact, there were undercurrents. Various large sects¡¯ guests had their own thoughts and the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were discussing in secret. On the first day of the competition, there were a few unexpected figures. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Ouyang Huo, Flame Sect¡¯s Yang Tiannu, Bellowing Waves Sect¡¯s Nan Batian¡­ and so on, regardless of Heavenly Yao Sect or various large sects, all had extraordinary younger generation elite disciples. Especially Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Ouyang Huo and Bellowing Waves Sect¡¯s Nan Batian, their impression was the most impressive and shocking. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Ouyang Huo shocked people not because of his high cultivation, rather his extremely bloody and ferocious means. Once he made a move, his opponent would lose at least one leg or was directly torn into two pieces. Such a lunatic Bone Crushing Crazy Demon made even the opponents who had the cultivation base of two realms higher trembled with fear. Unlike Ouyang Huo, Nan Tiandu who assumed the name of Nan Batian gave people the most profound impression. He was very arrogant and considered himself the best in the world. After getting onto the stage, he proclaimed that he had no opponent in the entire south sea. He was so arrogant that he even looked down on Heavenly Yao Sect that claimed itself to be the first under heaven. He made people learn about the unknown Bellowing Waves Sect for the first time. Today, the fierce Ouyang Huo was going to encounter arrogant Nan Batian. Among these two, who would return victor from the match? If Nan Batian won, then who would come to suppress this arrogant overseas cultivator? What kind of expert would Heavenly Yao Sect dispatch next? But, if Ouyang Huo won, then who would dare challenge Ouyang Huo again? Will there be any sect that would be able to suppress the prestige of Heavenly Yao Sect in this Grand Sacrifice Competition? There were many large sects that came to participate in this grand sacrifice competition. Among them, there were plenty that came from afar just to fawn on Heavenly Yao Sect, wanting to attach themselves to powerful Heavenly Yao Sect. There were also many who had just come to watch the excitement. Some, however, were long dissatisfied with domineering Heavenly Yao Sect and didn¡¯t want to see Heavenly Yao Sect displaying their might in this Grand Sacrifice Competition. They didn¡¯t dare to do anything in the daytime, in the night, they, however, had various thoughts and made various preparations. Compared to other sects, Ye Chuan and others who had sneaked in using the name of Bellowing Waves Sect were calm at night. After dawn, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu left early in the morning to prepare for today¡¯s match. Ye Chuan, however, continued to sit cross-legged in the room while cultivating. He shut his both ears to what went on outside the window and immersed in the cultivation world. Without the instruction of Ye Chuan, Rain Demon, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King also honestly stayed in their room, not daring to go out privately. When the time arrived, the grand competition was held as scheduled. After the morning¡¯s ringing of the bell, people went onto the stage for the match. The first few were the matches between various guest sects. The winner could enter the next round, and the loser was eliminated. Compared to yesterday, the matches were even more intense. All sects sent their elite disciples. Soon, earth-shaking cheers resounded throughout the Heavenly Yao Square as the sound of battles and screams resounded occasionally. On the surface, this grand competition proclaimed to be amicable, but after truly getting onto the stage, no one was soft-hearted, especially at the juncture when their life was at stake, who cared about the other¡¯s life and death thereby putting oneself in danger? The cheers resounded one wave after another, and each time, the cheering sound was louder. The atmosphere was getting more and more heated. After less than an hour, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King next door couldn¡¯t help slipping out and rushed to Heavenly Yao Square to watch the excitement. Just Rain Demon, this assassin, could still keep calm and continued to stay behind. ¡°Being able to become the first-rate assassin, indeed is not simple!¡± Ye Chuan who was immersed in the cultivation world slowly opened his eyes and all the more valued Rain Demon who could keep calm in the critical moment highly. It seemed that after this trip to Heavenly Yao Sect and returning to Cloud Mist Sect, he could nurture Rain Demon and help him become a super-assassin from the first-rate assassin. Just imagine, if Rain Demon breakthrough to Half Sage realm, he would have a Half Sage realm assassin, how sharp would this butcher¡¯s knife be? In the Wilderness World, who else could stop the troops of his Yao Beast Legion? Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes blazed like torches as his plan for the future became bigger and bigger. In his past life, he had experienced countless storms. Although he had never specialized as an assassin, as Heaven Concealing Great Sage who summoned wind and rain in Wilderness World, he knew some tip-top assassin merit laws. Cyan Feather Technique he was cultivating in this life was derived from a technique of a famous assassin. If he passed down all the assassin merit laws he knew to Rain Demon, then he believed that Rain Demon¡¯s combat power would soar. Even if he didn¡¯t become a Half Sage realm assassin, at least, he would reach the peak of perfection, becoming Wilderness World¡¯s one of the very best assassins. For a great matter, there must be all kinds of helpers around! Now, there was Nan Tiandu to charge and break through enemy lines, Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes for a chaotic battle, Plague Archfiend Abasi and Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo for his protection, furthermore, first-rate assassin Rain Demon. In addition to all these, there were rapidly progressing Cloud Mist Sect and Yao Beast Legion. The legion to dominate the entire Wilderness World was gradually forming. After the reincarnation, Ye Chuan was determined to create a greater glory than his previous life. In addition, he didn¡¯t just indulge in fantasy like this, rather he stared from the foundation and walked step by step to realize his grand plan. In the courtyard, a mouse stealthy looked around, then it lightly moved the fallen leaves covering the entrance of a burrow and went towards the west wing. Suddenly, the disciples of various sects arrived and their energy fluctuation badly scared this tiny mouse. The tiny mouse rushed into its burrow and didn¡¯t dare to come out for quite a few days. Today, this little fellow was honestly too hungry and was unable to endure it, thus, it took the risk to come out again to look for food. Squeak, squeak, after observing for a while, the little fellow saw nothing dangerous and happily squeaked a few times. It then jumped out of its burrow and rushed towards the west wing, but, at a halfway point, it suddenly trembled and stiffened, then, like a human, it stood on its two hind legs and a strange smile appeared on its face. Afterward, it looked around for a while and ran towards Heavenly Yao Square. In the room, Ye Chuan was still sitting cross-legged on the ground without any movement, but his hands were in a mysterious posture. Although his body was still in the room, his spirit had already gone far away. In the board daylight, Ye Chuan used sprit travel again. This time, his spirit wasn¡¯t attached to a fallen leaf, rather he chose this stealthy little mouse. After breaking through the Daoist Master realm, spirit travel and possession had long been not a problem for him. After absorbing the energy emitted by Yinyang Life Wheel, his spirit had grown far stronger, making things even easier. The atmosphere of the grand competition was getting more and more heated, attracting more people than yesterday. Ye Chuan also had a strong desire to come and watch the match between Nan Tiandu and Ouyang Huo. Chapter 624: What a Good Pair of Legs ¡°Next match, next match¡­¡± Heavenly Yao Square had a sea of people and they were shouting loudly. Today¡¯s highlight was the match between Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Ouyang Huo and Bellowing Waves Sect¡¯s Nan Batian without a doubt. The people shouted loudly and already couldn¡¯t wait any longer. They were very impatient to see who would win the match. A small mouse quietly arrived at Heavenly Yao Square and climbed a big tree near the stage. The big battle was about to start, so when Ye Chuan had arrived, the eyes of people were glued on the stage and no one noticed the arrival of a small mouse. There was no lack of powerful experts among the various guest sects, but under distraction, they didn¡¯t notice that someone had used spirit travel to come here. Occasionally, some people vaguely felt a hint of an anomaly, but they also didn¡¯t think much about it. Spirit travel was the most dangerous thing for cultivators, especially in the place with numerous experts. No one thought that, at this moment, someone dared to use spirit travel to come to Heavenly Yao Square where dragons were mixed with fishes. Ye Chuan whose spirit power had soared was daring enough to do the matters ordinary people didn¡¯t dare to imagine. His physical body was cultivating in the room, only his spirit had come out. Under the command of Elder Tianqing, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples and guards were still looking for the whereabouts of that uninvited guest who had broken into Small Yao Lake, but Ye Chuan simply didn¡¯t expose himself, so this search group was no different from headless flies. After a melodious bell rang, a fiery red figure rushed to the stage. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Ouyang Huo took the initiative to go on the stage. Like yesterday, he was wearing a red battle robe and looked cold and domineering. Although he looked frail without much strength, he was very fierce when he exploded. Everyone had a hint of fear when they looked at him and subconsciously avoided looking at his hands. Those hands looked small and frail like a girl¡¯s hands, but, many people had already died under those hands. The heavy footsteps resounded as Nan Tiandu with the pseudonym Nan Batian appeared in people¡¯s sight. He was walking over step by step, dragging a frightening Cyan Dragon Moon Blade while leaving a long mark on the ground along with friction sounds. He didn¡¯t fly over to the stage like other people, rather slowly walked step by step towards the stage, leaving behind footprints on the ground. The onlookers below the stage quickly got out of the way. On the stage, Ouyang Huo¡¯s pupils suddenly shrunk and his complexion also changed slightly. Nan Tiandu was walking over very slowly and leisurely as if he never felt any pressure from this life and death battle, and it appeared as if he was taking a casual walk. But, in fact, the distance between his every step was exactly the same. Finally, the moment he stepped onto the stage, a loud gong resounded. ¡°Left leg or right leg?¡± The complexion of Ouyang Huo sunk as he coldly asked. This was his pet phrase. On the stage, he had never spoken too much. Although Nan Batian gave him a huge pressure, he similarly asked this question, ready to tear off Nan Tiandu¡¯s one leg! ¡°Hahaha, as you wish, as long as you have the ability!¡± Nan Tiandu roared with laughter and added with the appearance of considering everyone beneath his notice, ¡°Come, this lordship, matchless in the entire south sea, will let you make three moves, feel free to use your entire strength, but if you can¡¯t tear off this lordship¡¯s leg, then don¡¯t blame this lordship for the rudeness, hahahaha¡­¡­¡± On the stage, Ouyang Huo¡¯s complexion changed and become even gloomier. Below the stage was also in an uproar. People already knew about the arrogance of Nan Tiandu yesterday, he considered himself the best in the world and was extremely arrogant, but, that was in front of ordinary sects¡¯ disciples. The people had never expected him to so be arrogant in front of Ouyang Huo, this extremely ferocious Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciple, too. Was he truly unbeatable or he didn¡¯t know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth? The onlookers below the stage were greatly surprised, soon after that were excited. This battle, it seemed would be even more exciting! Nan Batian was so arrogant, can ferocious and ruthless Ouyang Huo endure? Like everyone expected, Ouyang Huo didn¡¯t endure at all. He immediately rushed towards Nan Tiandu. He used his astonishing speed and disappeared. Afterward, his thin and small hands suddenly expanded and became bright red as if dripping blood and reached towards Nan Tiandu¡¯s leg as he ferociously roared, ¡°Boy, you are also just so-so, I will tear it off now!¡± Below the stage, people exclaimed. The scalp of people was tingling, and they were shocked by the astonishing speed of Ouyang Huo. Once he grabbed the legs, what then? No one had thought that Ouyang Huo was so fast. Could it be that he would tear his opponent apart in a move again? The people below the stage were anxious for Nan Batian. Some people even closed their eyes, not daring to watch that bloody scene again. Yesterday, Ouyang Huo had torn several opponents apart while they were still alive, those scenes were inscribed in the mind of many people, making them have a nightmare yesterday. But, even after waiting for a while, they still didn¡¯t hear a screaming sound coming from the stage. When they opened their eyes, they saw Ouyang Huo had grabbed Nan Tiandu¡¯s leg, but even though his face had already turned red in a half-squat position, he still was unable to tear Nan Tiandu¡¯s leg off. ¡°Do you still want to tear it off or not? Furthermore, since you are grabbing my leg like this without moving, does this count as one move or two moves? This lordship¡¯s stinking feet, do you like to smell?¡± Nan Tiandu shook his head and stood still without moving the frightening Cyan Dragon Moon Blade regardless of how Ouyang Huo grabbed his leg. The onlookers who originally were worried for Nan Tiandu couldn¡¯t help laughing in succession. Ouyang Huo¡¯s face turned redder. OH! Ouyang Huo ferociously roared in anger and also shame. He then changed his mind, disregarding the thoughts of tearing off Nan Tiandu¡¯s leg. He let go of Nan Tiandu¡¯s right leg and grabbed his both legs, then exerted himself to pull them apart, wanting to directly tear Nan Tiandu into two halves! Unfortunately, the two legs of Nan Tiandu were still motionless like two iron pillars. No matter how much strength he used, his legs were absolutely still. ¡°Just one final move left, boy, still not changing your move, this lordship¡¯s legs, can you move them? I have been saying, this lordship is unmatched in the entire overseas, you won¡¯t do like this, you are not my opponent, just call your Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s number one expert as early as possible.¡± Nan Tiandu shook his head and looked at Ouyang Huo who was in a half squatting position, grabbing his legs, as if he was looking at a clown. ¡°Impossible, I will tear you apart!¡± Ouyang Huo was shocked and also angry. He was reluctant to let go and ferociously roared again, trying to tear Nan Tiandu into two halves again. The result, even though he used all his strength, Nan Tiandu¡¯s legs were absolutely still as before. At that time, Cyan Dragon Moon Blade Nan Tiandu was dragging behind him vibrated and shone with cyan light, and in the next moment, a blood-curdling scream resounded. Ouyang Huo fell to the ground as his legs were cut off. Even after half a day, he was unable to tear off Nan Tiandu¡¯s legs, instead, he lost his own legs. ¡°Such a big Heavenly Yao Sect, isn¡¯t there any decent opponent? What a big disappointment!¡± Nan Tiandu shook his head and without looking at Ouyang Huo who was rolling about on the ground, he turned away while dragging Cyan Dragon Moon Blade. Below the stage, everyone was in an uproar. A single blade slash to cut off Ouyang Huo¡¯s legs, this was the display of his strength. In addition, he even publicly provoked Heavenly Yao Sect on the stage, this, however, was extremely arrogant! In Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Grand Sacrifice Competition, no one had ever brazenly provoked Heavenly Yao Sect like this! Elder Tianqing who was sitting straight on the platform suddenly became gloomy and he looked very unsightly. The tiny mouse possessed by Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit, however, coldly smiled and turned away. The more arrogant Nan Tiandu was, the closer they were to the success of the plan. Next, Heavenly Yao Sect would definitely send a peak younger generation expert to fight against Nan Tiandu, at that time, it would definitely cause a big sensation throughout the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. Like that, even White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi who remained in seclusion throughout the year might not be able to calmly cultivate in seclusion. At that time, a great opportunity to save a person would come! Chapter 625: The Son of Heaven On the distant peak, a cyan light suddenly soared and majestic energy fluctuation spread out. At the same time, a long, loud roar came from far away. Inside Heavenly Yao Sect, yet another expert got out of seclusion! Who was this? Was he an elder-level expert like Black and White Elders or the outstanding figure of younger generation? All guests simultaneously looked over in shock. Ye Chuan and Nan Tiandu also turned around at the same time and looked far away. Afterward, Nan Tiandu coldly snorted and left. Ye Chuan who had possessed the tiny mouse, however, noticed a small detail. Elder Tianqing who was sitting on the platform had made a gesture at an unknown time. Perhaps, he was quietly cultivating some merit law, or perhaps, that had something to do with the disturbance at the distant peak. He might have summoned someone in anger after seeing Ouyang Huo¡¯s loss. Come! Old man, call the most powerful expert of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s younger generation! Ye Chuan took a quick glance at Elder Tianqing and also left. Now, he was not worried that Nan Tiandu¡¯s cultivation was insufficient, rather was worried that there was no one in the younger generation of Heavenly Yao Sect who could truly give Nan Tiandu a fight. Like that, he would be unable to alarm White Haired Heavenly Empress who was in seclusion cultivation and lure her out. That would obstruct his plan to seize a treasure and save a person. When going onto the stage, Nan Tiandu walked slowly, but when leaving, he was much faster. He disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. But, his footprints showed that he had returned to the courtyard of Guest Receiving Peak. As for Ye Chuan, after he returned, his body trembled and his spirit and physical body fused into one. Outside the door, the tiny mouse looked around in confusion for a while and quickly sneaked back to its nest. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother!¡± A serious voice came from outside the door. It was Nan Tiandu. ¡°Enter.¡± Ye Chuan responded and looking at Nan Tiandu who had entered the room, he asked, ¡°Tiandu, are you looking for me?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Nan Tiandu nodded his head and said, ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, spirit travel has always been the most dangerous thing. Now, dragons and fishes are jumbled together in Heavenly Yao Sect, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, although your cultivation is high, you still need to be careful. Today, in Heavenly Yao Square, if you were discovered by that Elder Tianqing, then wouldn¡¯t that¡­¡­¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit travel was quiet and didn¡¯t alarm anyone. Even Rain Demon who was staying next door didn¡¯t notice it, but, Nan Tiandu who was on the stage, however, sensed him. It was also because of this, after the match against Ouyang Huo was ended, he immediately returned, lest Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit would follow him to stay there for a long time. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I know a sense of propriety. I¡¯ve recently refined a treasure, it can temper, refine and strengthen the spirit. Even if I ran into danger, I have a way to defend myself.¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t speak about Yinyang Life Wheel, but vaguely revealed a bit of information, making Nan Tiandu feel at ease. Every time he refined Yinyang Life Wheel, he would be exhausted, but his spirit would be strengthened by 30%. After obtaining Yinyang Life Wheel, his spirit power advanced at an amazing pace. ¡°Eh, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you¡­¡± Nan Tiandu exclaimed. Afterward, he carefully sized Ye Chuan up and noticed the unusualness of Ye Chuan. In an extremely short period of two days, Ye Chuan appeared as if he had grown old by a lot. He looked tired and his beard had grown long, resembling a person who had just contracted a serious illness. But, upon careful examination, his spirit power had become a lot stronger. Although his cultivation still remained at Peak Daoist Master realm, his spirit power, however, was already not any inferior to some Half Sage realm experts. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I am just exhausted, nothing more, I will recover completely after cultivating for a night.¡± Ye Chuan replied and smiled. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you overdrew your vitality in exchange for a powerful spirit? Do you want to use different means to save her?¡± Nan Tiandu carefully sized Ye Chuan up and quickly responded. In this life, Nan Tiandu had cultivated in Cloud Mist Sect most of the time. He had never been to many places. But, after fusing with an evil dragon Meng Ao at the bottom of Evil Dragon Abyss, he inherited a section of Meng Ao¡¯s memories and experiences, coupled with the guidance of cyan robed Seventh Elder, his vision already far surpassed the disciples of the same generation. ¡°White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi has already broken through to Peak Half Sage realm several thousand years ago, so using an ordinary method to save a person by breaching her obstruction, how can it be so easy?¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°If you wish to accomplish something, you naturally have to pay a certain price. Moreover, this price is also not necessarily a bad thing. Returning to Cloud Mist Sect after saving Zixia, I can just refine the best medicinal pills for nurturing the body. Tiandu, you can rest assured. Today, you have crippled Ouyang Huo and provoked them in public. Elder Tianqing must be furious. He will not let the matter drop. This competition will be harder and harder, are you prepared?¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, rest assured, there is no problem in my side. Heavenly Yao Sect is filled with experts, but the younger generation is just so-so.¡± Nan Tiandu was very confident with his strength. Even when he was fighting against Ouyang Huo today, he was far from using his full strength. He was still disguised as a Daoist Master realm expert. ¡°That¡¯s good, now, we just need to wait for the final match. As long as you successfully lure out White Haired Heavenly Empress and peak experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, we can¡­¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly sensed something and looked towards the window. Bang, the courtyard¡¯s door was kicked flying, and along with chaotic footsteps, a large group of people rushed in with killing intent. The guards who originally were strictly guarding the entrance ducked to one side and didn¡¯t dare to utter a voice like a mouse in the presence of a cat. ¡°Over there, those disciples of Bellowing Waves Sect live here.¡± ¡°Come out, all people of Bellowing Waves Sect, roll out!¡± A large group of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples shouted from outside the door. After a few screams, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Plague Archfiend and others rushed out in succession, blocking the door of Ye Chuan¡¯s room. ¡°Nan Batian, call him out.¡± A lazy voice resounded and everyone immediately shut up. It seemed that this person was the leader. ¡°Didn¡¯t you provoke us in public? Didn¡¯t you say our Heavenly Yao Sect has no decent opponent? How come you are hiding in a room now?¡± Ye Chuan and Nan Tiandu looked at each other and walked out. Nan Tiandu just coldly snorted and his killing intent soared. Ye Chuan, however, was calm and maintained low-key. He walked behind wearing a big bamboo hat and a dark robe, looking like an unassuming footman. Outside the door, there were over a hundred murderous looking Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. The leader of this group was a tall and big handsome youth wearing a cyan robe. He was dignified in appearance with a sturdy figure, merely, he had a hooked nose, making him look somewhat sinister and ruthless. Behind, there was a stretcher. Ouyang Huo who had lost both legs was lying above it. His injuries were already bandaged with a thick gauze, but he was still bleeding and he looked deathly pale. After losing his legs, even a higher realm cultivator would become a cripple. Without legs, how could he work together with other people? Ouyang Huo who previously used to tear off his opponent¡¯s legs at every turn finally tasted the flavor of not having legs. Moreover, without legs, in Heavenly Yao Sect where only the fittest survived, his days of hardship had just begun. ¡°Who are you? I, Nan Batian, don¡¯t kill nameless nobodies, speak now, or you will not have any change to speak later.¡± Nan Tiandu coldly looked at that leader youth and said. Upon seeing over a hundred disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect rushing in, the people of other sects in this courtyard shut their doors and windows, not daring to come out. Nan Tiandu, however, was fearless. ¡°Hahaha, kid, are you Nan Batian? You really are arrogant enough!¡± The leader youth laughed heartily, but in the next moment, his complexion suddenly turned cold and said, ¡°Listen, this lordship is Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, Son of Heaven Jin Hong!¡± An ice-cold killing intent suddenly burst out from this cyan robed youth, Jin Hong. Many disciples who had rushed over to watch the bustling upon hearing the news, hearing the title ¡°Son of Heaven¡±, their complexion changed and didn¡¯t dare to approach. Chapter 626: A Tough Battle ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him! Big Senior Apprentice Brother, this kid is Nan Batian, it¡¯s this kid!¡± Ouyang Huo ferociously glared at Nan Batian as if his eyes were going to spurt fire. Although his cultivation was not high, because of his extraordinary latent potential, he could even kill a Rank 6 Daoist Master realm experts, skipping a rank, being only Rank 5 Daoist Master realm. In addition, even if he encountered a Rank 7 Daoist Master realm expert, he could give him a good fight. With such potential at such a young age, he was the upcoming star of Heavenly Yao Sect and was also favored by Elder Tianqing. His future prospect was boundless. But, Nan Tiandu cut off his legs and he became a cripple from an upcoming star, moreover, his position in the sect also plummeted. As a result, sect¡¯s Big Disciple Jin Hong came out of seclusion and immediately followed him to look for Nan Tiandu. He was too impatient to settle the accounts in the match tomorrow. ¡°Yes, I am Nan Batian, peerless in the entire Overseas World! As it now seems, even in the entire mainland, there is also no opponent that can match me, hahaha!¡± Nan Tiandu roared with laughter, looking extremely arrogant as he coldly scanned these numerous Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. Afterward, his gaze moved from Ouyang Huo who was hatefully gritting his teeth to Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother Jin Hong and said with a smirk, ¡°Since you cannot defeat me on the stage, did you come to recover your face in private, relying on so many people? So-called first under heaven, Heavenly Yao Sect, is also just so-so, come, let me see what kind of skills do you all have, come together! I want to see what kind of expert will you send if I directly kill this Big Disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect, hahaha¡­¡­¡± Nan Tiandu took a step forward and brandished his Cyan Dragon Moon Blade horizontally along with a roar. Instantly, his killing intent soared and his momentum was threatening as if he was about to start killing. Even while facing over a hundred Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples, Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t shrink back, rather overbearingly wanted to start killing, what kind of madness was this? Are all the cultivators of Overseas World so arrogant and so ferocious like this? The disciples of various sects watching from the distance were shocked and all the more admired Nan Batian. For thousands of years, no one had dared to be so arrogant inside Heavenly Yao Sect, only he was a sole exception. The complexion of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples also changed. Their momentum stagnated and lots of them subconsciously retreated half a step. Ouyang Huo who originally was lying on the stretcher while gnashing his teeth was also shocked and his complexion instantly became paler. When Nan Tiandu suddenly brandished Cyan Dragon Moon Blade, he was badly scared. Looking at the huge sword that cut off his legs, he was full of anger but a deep fear could be seen in his eyes. On the stage, Nan Tiandu had cut off his legs turning him into a cripple in a single blade slash. If he received another blade slash now, then he feared that he might be cut into two halves! On the surface, Ouyang Huo who had lost his legs was gnashing his teeth while glaring at Nan Tiandu with deep hatred as if he was dying to desperately fight against Nan Tiandu, but in fact, he was more afraid than anyone else present here. After tasting Nan Tiandu¡¯s power, how can he still be tough in front of Nan Tiandu? ¡°What a big tone! Come together? Nan Batian, do you truly believe that you are unmatched in the mainland just because you are unmatched in the Overseas World?¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong sneered, and at this critical moment, he similarly took a step forward, facing the pressure of Nan Tiandu. His energy fluctuation also increased sharply. Even though he didn¡¯t make a move, his invisible energy blast blew towards Nan Tiandu, Ye Chuan and others. ¡°Come, Nan Batian, today, even if this lordship has to represent the orthodox sects of the mainland, I will teach you, this ignorant cultivator of Overseas World, a lesson, and make you understand what is called a frog in a well!¡± On the hand of Son of Heaven Jin Hong, a copper cauldron suddenly appeared. It was small, just the size of a bowl, but once he injected his vitality, this cauldron instantly expanded and became huge like a small mountain on the shoulders of Jin Hong. Jin Hong¡¯s legs also sunk deep into the ground, proving the cauldron on his shoulders was frighteningly heavy, at least was more than ten thousand jin. In the Wilderness World, there were not many people who used a cauldron as their weapon, but almost every one of them was born with innate superhuman strength! Son of Heaven Jin Hong¡¯s momentum soared and the energy of Peak Daoist Master realm suddenly erupted, instantly overturning the pressure of Nan Tiandu. Behind, the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect standing behind Jin Hong also pulled out their swords. They looked as if they would hack Ye Chuan¡¯s party to death upon the order. This Son of Heaven Jin Hong who originally wanted to suppress Nan Tiandu naturally wouldn¡¯t give in. Upon sensing the summon of Elder Tianqing, Jin Hong had temporarily come out of his seclusion, and after learning what was going on, he couldn¡¯t wait for the final match. He was very impatient to take a look at what kind of personage was Nan Tiandu. And when he saw the latter, he was just so-so, nothing more. In order to avoid being too extraordinary and exposing their identities, Ye Chuan¡¯s party concealed their real strength. Although Nan Tiandu shone with dazzling splendor among the younger generation disciples of various sects, he was just a Daoist Master realm expert in the eyes of others. For Son of Heaven Jin Hong, he could crush him in just one move! ¡°Kakaka, want to engage in a gang fight? This lordship likes it the best!¡± ¡°Humph, courting death!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin, Plague Archfiend and others stepped forward in succession. Although they were few in number, their momentum was fierce, suddenly making the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect feel danger. This was still in their weakened state, not full power, otherwise, if they had completely released their strength, then not to mention these disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, even Black and While Elders wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand! ¡°Withdraw, why are you all so impatient?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, stopping Old Demon of Mount Yin and others who were ready to create trouble. If they truly come into blows, they could easily kill these over a hundred disciples, but, such action would definitely alarm Elder Tianqing, afterward, there was a high chance of their identity being exposed. Like that, all their previous efforts would be wasted, and saving Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia would be very difficult than it already was. It was not worth to kill these disciples, moreover, the matters had not yet reached that stage. Clearly, this Son of Heaven Jin Hong had come here to just make a show of authority, nothing more. When Grand Sacrifice Competition was ongoing, he also didn¡¯t dare to seriously kill a guest in private. ¡°Yes!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others bowed and retreated while retracting their soaring killing intent. Plague Archfiend, Diamond Ape King and Rain Demon had no hesitation to accept this order, just Old Demon of Mount Yin felt a little regret. A chaotic battle had always been something he liked. In a chaotic battle, he could display the might of his deadly abilities to the fullest. In addition, if he could devour qi, blood and essence of these over a hundred disciples, then he might be able to breakthrough to Half Sage realm, what a pity! Old Demon of Mount Yin licked his lips, secretly feeling pity. He had always desired to see the world plunged into chaos, but he didn¡¯t dare to disobey Ye Chuan¡¯s orders. ¡°Nan Batian, come, let this lordship see what ability do you have?¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong looked at Ye Chuan with surprise. He had thought that the latter was just a footman beside Nan Tiandu, but beyond his expectation, Ye Chuan could order these murderous fellows. He couldn¡¯t help feeling curious about Ye Chuan¡¯s identity. However, at this moment, he didn¡¯t care much about it. He just decided to take this opportunity to test Nan Tiandu. He roared and lifted the heavy copper cauldron, then ferociously slammed it down, taking the initiative to attack! Chapter 627: I Am Just a Nobody The heavy copper cauldron flew in the air along with rumbling sounds and practically above Nan Tiandu¡¯s head, it ferociously crushed down. Under the spacious bamboo hat, Ye Chuan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change, but upon seeing the might of that heavy cauldron, his pupils shrunk slightly. This move of Son of Heaven Jin Hong was crude and simple, but extremely efficient. His strength was far above the ordinary Peak Daoist Master realm. If the opponent was slightly weaker or his reaction speed was not up to much, then just this move would inflict him serious injuries! Son of Heaven Jin Hong made a move after saying he would make a move, moreover, he ruthlessly made a killer move. ¡°Peak Daoist Master realm, almost Half Sage realm, so powerful!¡± ¡°Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, he is truly extraordinary. Nan Batian, this extremely arrogant overseas cultivator is in trouble now!¡± The onlooking crowds of other sects exclaimed in succession. Although this attack of Son of Heaven Jin Hong was simple, his powerful cultivation base was displayed in full along with his astonishing strength to the public. Such a combat power, not to mention younger generation disciples, many sects¡¯ protectors, elders or even Sect Master might not necessarily have this kind of ability. This huge cauldron was at least ten thousand jin heavy, under such a ruthless smash, even a mountain peak might be destroyed, what would be the end result of a human body? ¡°Take this!¡± Nan Tiandu roared and didn¡¯t dodge this danger, instead, he met this attack head-on with his fist. Dong! A muffled sound resounded. Nan Tiandu¡¯s fist and Jin Hong¡¯s huge cauldron collided, setting off a powerful shockwave. The right sleeve of Nan Tiandu was torn into pieces by this shockwave, making him look somewhat awkward. ¡°Hahaha, you can¡¯t even withstand one round, and you go on to say you are matchless in the mainland, hahahaha¡­¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong roared with laughter as he pulled back the huge cauldron to prepare for the next attack. Upon seeing a somewhat awkward appearance of Nan Tiandu, he became happy in his heart. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples around also cheered in a loud voice, especially Ouyang Huo who had already lost his legs. His eyes were scorching hot and were shouting ¡®kill him, kill him¡¯. He couldn¡¯t wait to see Nan Tiandu¡¯s head roll on the ground. ¡°It¡¯s just a piece of cloth, I can replace it if it is torn, but, such a huge cauldron, it¡¯s a pity it¡¯s destroyed.¡± Nan Tiandu sneered, ignoring his torn sleeve. Jin Hong lifted his huge cauldron and examined carefully. Immediately afterward, his laughter ceased. On this huge cauldron that could even smash an iron tower, there was a deep crater. That was a crater left behind by Nan Tiandu¡¯s fist. In addition to the crater, there were cracks around it. Adding up the large and small cracks, even if there were not one thousand, there were at least eight hundred cracks. If this crater was a bit deeper, then perhaps, the entire cauldron might have been shattered by that single punch! A casual punch nearly shattered an over ten thousand jin huge cauldron, what kind of strength was that? The complexion of Son of Heaven Jin Hong greatly changed. The numerous disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect also became quiet and not daring to open their mouth again. As for the onlooking crowd, they had their eyes wide open as if they saw something unbelievable. This punch of Nan Tiandu was beyond the expectation of everyone! Originally, everyone had thought that Nan Tiandu was at a disadvantage. They even thought that he would suffer internal injuries as he was not the opponent of Son of Heaven Jin Hong. But, beyond their expectation, Nan Tiandu was actually so extraordinarily brave! On his side, only his cloth was torn, on the side of Son of Heaven Jin Hong, he, however, practically lost a powerful treasure. Who suffered the loss, it was clear at a glance. ¡°Good, what a good Nan Batian, you actually smashed this lordship¡¯s cauldron with a punch, very good!¡± Jin Hong came back to his senses and simply tossed the damaged cauldron aside. Afterward, he ferociously glared at Nan Tiandu and his energy fluctuation also rose again. In addition, this courtyard was filled with thick killing intent. After eating a hidden loss, he truly had murderous intentions. That huge cauldron that could change its size at will was a rare treasure in his hand. Although it was not completely destroyed, there was a crater and numerous cracks, thus, it would be considered useless, how could he not be angry? Originally, he just wanted to take a look at Nan Tiandu while suppressing and probing him in passing. But now, he was furious, his eyes also gradually turned red, wanting to truly go all-out against Nan Tiandu. As a dignified Big Disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect, he was a peak genius who called himself Son of Heaven, but now, not only was he unable to suppress the other party, instead, he suffered a humiliation, if he didn¡¯t go all-out now, then what qualification did he have to command the younger generation disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect? Furthermore, what face would he have to continue sitting on the throne of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple? The face of Son of Heaven Jin Hong was very unsightly as if Nan Tiandu¡¯s punch hadn¡¯t smashed the cauldron, rather ferociously hit his face. ¡°Still want to fight?¡± Nan Tiandu sneered and added, ¡°The next punch will not be smashing a cauldron, rather your face. Boy, think over carefully. As long as you can defeat your opponents, we will eventually encounter in the competition, it is not too late to fight at that time. Boy, are you seriously unable to wait even two days? Do you want to die now?¡± Nan Tiandu who was using the alias of Nan Batian was overbearing. He pretended to be extremely arrogant just as in the past as his energy fluctuation similarly rose successively and his momentum became stronger and stronger. But, although he was overbearing on the surface, in fact, his right hand was slightly trembling, especially the arm muscles were almost twisted into a dough twist. That punch of just a moment ago had astonishing power, it nearly shattered the huge cauldron, but he was also not in a good state, the powerful backlash injured him. Merely, he cunningly still pretended to be arrogant, hiding his hands behind his back, other than Ye Chuan who was standing behind him, no one knew his real situation. In order to not be too amazing thereby exposing identity, Nan Tiandu had used a secret technique to seal his true strength. Before unsealing that seal, his strength was limited to just Peak Daoist Master realm, evenly matched with Son of Heaven Jin Hong. Just a moment ago, in that collision, it appeared as if Jin Hong ate a hidden loss, but in fact, both had an equal share of the loss. If they continued to fight, then unless he unsealed his seal, he might not be the opponent of this Big Disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect. Naturally, although the situation was anything but reassuring, he also couldn¡¯t give the impression of weakness. ¡°Stop, Batian, don¡¯t fight, return.¡± Ye Chuan who had been watching critically noticed the details of these two opponents. When Nan Tiandu and Jin Hong were preparing to fight a decisive battle, he stepped forward and stopped them. Now, the time was not yet matured, clearly, it was not the time to fight to the death with this Jin Hong. Who is this person? He said don¡¯t fight, then they won¡¯t fight? Does he have such a big qualification? The people were puzzled and looked at Ye Chuan who had suddenly stepped forward to stop the fight. But, a surprising scene appeared before their eyes. The extremely arrogant Nan Batian who considered himself the best in the world actually returned immediately upon hearing Ye Chuan. In addition, he looked extremely respectful to Ye Chuan. ¡°Boy, who are you, what¡¯s your position in Bellowing Waves Sect?¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong was also surprised. He couldn¡¯t make out the identity of Ye Chuan, but, since a treasure was ruined by Nan Tiandu, he was quite unwilling to let the matter drop and lose face. Like a person who had ridden a tiger, he couldn¡¯t back out in this matter, thus, he ferociously said, ¡°Scram, my opponent is Nan Batian, you brat, if you cannot tell good from bad and continue to block my path, then don¡¯t blame this lordship for killing you first!¡± ¡°Surname Jin, do you have that ability? Do you know who this personage is?¡± Nan Tiandu coldly snorted and coldly said, ¡°Open your dog eyes and look carefully, he is our Bellowing Waves Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, in other words, he is I, Nan Batian¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother. All my skills are taught to me by Big Senior Apprentice Brother. Surnamed Jin, you can¡¯t even defeat me, but you are still blabbering to kill my Big Senior Apprentice Brother, hahaha, this truly is a big joke, hahahaha¡­¡± The expression of Jin Hong suddenly became even more unsightly. Ye Chuan was wearing a black robe and a spacious bamboo hat, in addition, he didn¡¯t have imposing air and didn¡¯t stand out. Before he stood out to stop the fight, he remained silent and low-key, resembling an insignificant little footman. But, in fact, he was even more powerful than Nan Batian? ¡°Boy, you¡­, are you really the Big Disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect? Are you the true expert of Bellowing Waves Sect?¡± After carefully sizing up Ye Chuan, Son of Heaven Jin Hong still found it hard to believe. He wanted to test him, but he had some misgivings in his heart. Nan Tiandu¡¯s respect for Ye Chuan didn¡¯t seem to be fake. If Nan Tiandu was truly telling the truth, then wouldn¡¯t he suffer more humiliation if he truly made a move? ¡°I can¡¯t say I am an expert, I am just a nobody. This time, I came to the mainland to experience the world. Of course, Nan Batian calls me Big Senior Apprentice Brother, this, however, is the truth.¡± Ye Chuan replied, neither humble nor arrogant. ¡°Humph, let¡¯s go!¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong gritted his teeth and left angrily. Just looking at the manner of speaking, he could clearly tell that Ye Chuan was different. As Nan Tiandu said, he couldn¡¯t even defeat Nan Tiandu, if he had to face his Big Senior Apprentice Brother, then how could he be his match? Chapter 628: Ancestral System The suddenly storm quickly disappeared. After Son of Heaven Jin Hong left, the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect also turned away. Soon, only a person was left in front of Ye Chuan¡¯s party. He was none other than Ouyang Huo who was lying on the stretcher. ¡°Wait for me, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, wait for me¡­¡­¡± Ouyang Huo was so anxious that he shouted until his throat tore. But, not a single Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciple stayed behind, instead, they walked away even faster. Son of Heaven Jin Hong had already left, who would dare to remain behind? Looking at the leaving backview of numerous Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples, Ouyang Huo was desperate and under helplessness, he could only roll down the stretcher and tried to crawl away using all his strength to leave this courtyard. However, before even crawling a few meters, he suddenly saw a pair of legs. Ouyang Huo looked up and saw Nan Tiandu was in front of him. ¡°You¡­, Nan Batian, you¡­, what do you want to do?¡± Ouyang Huo¡¯s complexion was deathly pale as he trembled. ¡°Heh heh, what do you think I want to do?¡± Nan Tiandu asked a question in return. He smirked and added with a sinister appearance, ¡°Didn¡¯t you bring people to look for me? What? Why are you leaving so soon?¡± ¡°No, this has nothing to do with me.¡± Ouyang Huo shook his head and retreated, supporting his body with his hands. In the past, he, the Bone Crushing Crazy Demon, walked unimpeded among Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s younger disciples, and no one dared to provoke him. In front of the disciples of other sects, he was even more arrogant. He looked down on all of them. But now, in front of Nan Tiandu, he was trembling like a mouse that had seen a cat. ¡°Truly has nothing to with you? Boy, you are saying you have nothing to do with it, truly has nothing to do with you? You say, will you leave behind your hands or tongue or ears this time?¡± Nan Tiandu sneered as his killing intent soared with frightening Cyan Dragon Moon Blade in his hands, ¡°I, Nan Batian, am a rough fellow, I pay the debt of gratitude and take revenge for hatred. You wanted to tear off my legs, so I chop off your legs. You brought people wanting to cut me into two pieces, so I will cut you into three pieces. Don¡¯t pull out anything like this is your Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s territory, that is useless. Even if your Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s elders come here personally, I can kill you first, then, if the worst comes to the worst, I will fight a bloody battle until death.¡± Ouyang Huo trembled as he fell back. Nan Tiandu, however, continued to approach him, step by step, while speaking. Soon, this former Bone Crushing Crazy Demon finally reached the dead end. There was just a cold wall behind him, he had nowhere to retreat. ¡°Nan Batian, this truly has nothing to do with me. After Jin Hong was promoted to Big Senior Apprentice Brother and got the title of Son of Heaven, he had always been cultivating in seclusion. He came out from seclusion because of Elder Tianqing¡¯s summon, and after learning of the situation, he took the initiative to come over. I am just a small Rank 5 Daoist Master realm disciple, how can I order a dignified Big Disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect to move. I just recognized you for Big Senior Apprentice Brother, nothing more, it has truly nothing to do with me¡­.¡± Ouyang Huo was so anxious that he blabbered in a sobbing tone, almost bursting out in tears. In his eyes, Nan Tiandu was truly a rough fellow with extreme arrogance. This kind of rough fellow would make a move without thinking over. In a rage, this rough fellow had a high probability to truly kill him. Not only he failed to avenge himself, instead, he was going to lose his life too, in addition, in his own Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°Humph, do you want to deceive me speaking whatever you please, do you think I am stupid?¡± Nan Batian looked ferocious and with an appearance of not believing anything, he suddenly raised that terrifying Cyan Dragon Moon Blade. ¡°This fellow, does he truly dare to kill?¡± ¡°Ordinary people don¡¯t dare, but who is this Nan Batian? Overseas World is an uncivilized and fierce place, basically has yet to become civilized, the devils that came from that place, what do they don¡¯t dare to do?¡± The disciples of various sects cried out in alarm and made all sorts of comments. Son of Heaven Jin Hong and other Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples had already left, the disciples of other sects were also thinking of leaving, but upon seeing Nan Tiandu wanted to slay Ouyang Huo, they couldn¡¯t help staying behind and watching from the distance. And upon seeing Nan Batian lifting up his greatsword, some cried out in alarm and couldn¡¯t bear to watch; some were inwardly excited, thinking Ouyang Huo was finally getting what he deserved. The people who were ruthlessly crippled by Ouyang Huo in these two days on the stage already hated him to the marrow of their bones. Upon seeing his current state, some loudly cheered, dying to see Nan Tiandu¡¯s Cyan Dragon Moon Blade immediately slaying him. ¡°No¡­, Your Excellency, spare my life, spare my life¡­¡± Ouyang Huo shouted for mercy while trembling with fear. He wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide. He wanted to run away but couldn¡¯t run away. Watching Cyan Dragon Moon Blade in Nan Tiandu¡¯s hand, his was so scared that his spirit almost flew away and scattered. A hand grabbed Nan Tiandu¡¯s wrist at the critical moment. When Ouyang Huo was so scared that he nearly pissed his pants, Ye Chuan finally stepped up and stopped Nan Tiandu¡¯s atrocities, ¡°Forget it, junior apprentice-brother Batian, not for the monk¡¯s sake, but for the Buddha¡¯s, spare his life. No matter what we say, people have only one life, and cultivating to Rank 5 Daoist Master realm is also not easy, just cutting off his legs is enough of a lesson.¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, isn¡¯t that too cheap for him? No, I will kill him today!¡± Nan Tiandu¡¯s sharp Cyan Dragon Moon Blade trembled as he pretended to not let the matter drop and wanted to chop down. The result, Ouyang Huo who had just breathed a sigh of relief was so scared that he trembled and his teeth chattered. ¡°What? Are you daring to not listen to this Senior Apprentice brother¡¯s words? Do you want to violate Master¡¯s command?¡± Ye Chuan made the appearance of teaching a lesson. ¡°I don¡¯t dare, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, appease your anger.¡± Nan Tiandu bowed and retreated. He looked like he was unwilling but was forced to retreat. In this play, Ouyang Huo was badly scared without being chopped. ¡°Well, Ouyang Huo, was it, you are safe now. This junior apprentice-brother of mine is nothing good, he is simple-minded and easily gets agitated. But, I am here, he will not dare to do anything, rest assured. On the stage of the competition, since weapons don¡¯t have eyes, nothing can be done, but it¡¯s not right to kill in a private fight, what do you say? You don¡¯t bear grudges in your heart, do you?¡± Ye Chuan squatted down and comforted badly scared Ouyang Huo. ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Ouyang Huo had not yet recovered from a fright. His mind was still somewhat blank and subconsciously nodded his head, then he immediately shook his head and said in a sobbing tone, ¡°I don¡¯t dare, Your Excellency, I absolutely don¡¯t dare to bear grudges, I¡­¡± ¡°Good, with your words, I am relieved. Oh, that¡¯s right, I have a matter to ask. When did Son of Heaven Jin Hong become your Big Senior Apprentice Brother? Didn¡¯t your Heavenly Yao Sect always just have a Heavenly Maiden and no Big Disciple?¡± Ye Chuan asked the doubt in his heart, pretending to console Ouyang Huo. ¡°Not long ago, not long after the storm of Heavenly Maiden, Elder Tianqing said he wanted to reform. From now on, we will only have Big Disciple, no Heavenly Maiden.¡± Ouyang Huo was so frightened that he answered everything. ¡°Good, very good, you can go now.¡± Ye Chuan narrowed his eyes and stood up. After hearing his words, Ouyang Huo hastily left even if he had to crawl or roll away. Afterward, the onlooking disciples also dispersed. After returning to his room, the always smiling face and amicable appearance of Ye Chuan sunk. Chapter 629: Dove Peak The group followed Ye Chuan back into the room and closed the room. Then, Nan Tiandu quickly laid out a restriction to isolate the room from outside. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, is the situation not very good?¡± Nan Tiandu asked after he sat down cross-legged in front of Ye Chuan. ¡°Mmm, it¡¯s very bad, it¡¯s more serious than expected.¡± Ye Chuan paused for a while and added, ¡°Originally, I thought that Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia just angered White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, therefore, she was punished to imprisonment. Now, Heavenly Yao Sect suddenly has a Big Disciple, and hereafter, there will not be any Heavenly Maiden. This situation is serious. Since the day Heavenly Yao Sect was founded, Heavenly Yao Sect only had Heavenly Maiden among the younger disciples, there was no Big Disciple, unlike other sects.¡± ¡°Reformation!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin quickly responded and also understood the seriousness of the matter. ¡°In other words, Elder Tianqing who had control over the entire sect actually reformed the ancestral system of Heavenly Yao Sect!¡± ¡°Correct!¡± Ye Chuan looked at everyone and said after a pause, ¡°Of course, this might be the order of Elder Tianqing under his selfish desire or the secret order of White Haired Heavenly Empress herself. It is currently unknown. But, regardless of what¡¯s going on, Zixia is in real danger. Since even the ancestral system passed down for millions of years could be discarded, will they let Zixia, the last Heavenly Maiden, keep on living?¡± Ye Chuan frowned and he felt great pressure and urgency. The situation was anything but reassuring, he must act promptly and quickly save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, otherwise, he might to too late to repent! ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, how about we forcibly break into Heavenly Yao Cave and save her tonight!¡± Nan Tiandu proposed. In front of outsiders, he pretended to be a wildly arrogant rough fellow, but inside the closed door, he was a calm person. He knew the trouble of Ye Chuan and took the initiative to propose a risky action. ¡°No, we will move according to the plan, Tiandu, you should continue participating in the competition, if there is nothing unusual, then your final opponent will very probably be that Son of Heaven Jin Hong.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, remaining calm. He was even more impatient than Nan Tiandu in his heart. Every extra day Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was imprisoned, the more dangerous it was. If he could, then he would have made a move now, he wouldn¡¯t have waited until the night, but, that was not realistic. Ye Chuan maintained his calm even after hearing the sudden and unexpected news. In any case, he had to think of a way to seized Heaven Concealing Umbrella sealed in Heavenly Yao Cave first, otherwise, even if he entered Heavenly Yao Cave, how can he save a person? An obvious difficulty was placed in front of Ye Chuan. If he wanted to break into Heavenly Yao Hall to seize Heaven Concealing Umbrella, then he needed to look for an opportune moment first, next, he must think of a way to crack that ancient sword formation of Heavenly Yao Hall! ¡°Okay, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, I understand what to do.¡± Nan Tiandu stood up, turned around and left, returning to his room to cultivate. Now, he had to conserve strength and store up energy to prepare for the Grand Sacrifice Competition¡¯s final match. The key point was not to achieve a victory, rather how to make the biggest commotion so as to lure out Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s peak experts that guarded various peaks and White Haired Heavenly Empress, giving Ye Chuan a chance to make a move. ¡°Your Excellency, then what about us? What should we do?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin asked. Originally, he still had some regrets for not being able to fight with Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples, thus, he was unable to rob their qi, blood and essence. But now, after understanding the seriousness of the situation, he had already discarded that mental state and was worried. ¡°Like Nan Tiandu, act according to the plan, go.¡± Ye Chuan instructed and slowly closed his eyes, beginning to cultivate to recover his strength. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others stood up, bowed and left. Once the door was shut, the room became quiet. After all of them left, Ye Chuan used a profound technique and his body suddenly shook. Within his body, Yinyang Life Wheel in his dantian rotated again. It rotated while absorbing the vitality of Ye Chuan. The vitality Ye Chuan had gathered with great difficulty quickly vanished, then, began to overdraft the vitality of all his limbs and bones. His originally smooth skin began to become coarse and his physical body became a step weaker. He looked even more exhausted and aged. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t waste time and went a step further to refine Yinyang Life Wheel. At the expense of physical weakness, he got even stronger spirit in return. If he could take back Heaven Concealing Umbrella sealed in Heavenly Yao Hall, then even if his physical body was weak, he didn¡¯t need to fear anything. He would be able to stop even the attacks of a Half Sage realm expert. In this world, there was no one else who was more familiar with Heaven Concealing Umbrella¡¯s magical effects than himself. At that time, breaking into Heavenly Yao Cave and saving a person would be easier. He could make up his physical weakness with Heaven Concealing Umbrella and his powerful spirit can initiate ferocious attacks. A day quickly passed. Late at night, when the earth was shrouded by the darkness and tired people had gone to sleep in succession, a figure suddenly jumped out of a window. Bypassing the patrolling guards and hidden lookouts, he went straight towards a distant peak. Under the cover of the night, Ye Chuan moved quickly. Tonight, his target was not Heavenly Yao Peak, also was not Small Yao Lake, rather a peculiar peak in the outskirts of Heavenly Yao Sect, Dove Peak. Heavenly Yao Sect had numerous peaks. Some were majestic and grand, some were tall and steep, but no matter what kind of peaks they were, all were shrouded with dense worldly spiritual qi and all had mountain dwellings built on them. Only a place was an exception, that was the Dove Peak. This mountain had trees, lakes, and spring-fed streams, merely, there were no mountain dwellings. There was no trace of human. It was a place where disciples were strictly forbidden to set foot on. Every time when the sun rose, everyone could see a large number of doves flying out from this mountain peak and leisurely soared inside Heavenly Yao Sect. This place was heaven for doves, was a forbidden place for sect¡¯s disciples. According to the legend, founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress liked doves the most in her life, therefore, this piece of land was specially designated as the habitat for doves in Heavenly Yao Sect. the disciples were strictly forbidden to set foot on this land. This order had been considered ancestral teaching and was passed down from generation to generation. Heavenly Yao Sect was strictly guarded now, especially the numerous important places, there were patrolling troops, hidden lookouts, restrictions and even powerful super experts personally assuming personal command. But, although Dove Peak was a forbidden land, there were no guards, basically, there was no one to block Ye Chuan¡¯s path. Perhaps, for Heavenly Yao Sect, it was just a wasteland, it basically was not necessary to send someone to guard this place. For Ye Chuan, this place, however, was extremely important. His purpose was very simple. It was not like he had left behind some treasure here in his previous life, Blue Eyed Yao Empress¡¯s token was also not hidden here, rather the doves of Dove Peak. In order to seize Heaven Concealing Umbrella sealed in Heavenly Yao Cave, he must break through ancient sword formation first. If he was his former self, then Ye Chuan would have easily broken it, but now, his cultivation was not enough, so he could only take it down by strategy. After calmly thinking for a while in the room, he thought of doves of Dove Peak. Chapter 630: Doves Also Turned Into Spiri t There were many natural caves in the vicinity of Dove Peak¡¯s summit. At night, these caves would be filled with doves of all sizes. For these doves, those large and small-sized caves were their natural dwellings. Perhaps, they were different from common varieties, or perhaps, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s worldly spiritual qi was very thick, the doves of this place although weren¡¯t much bigger, they were extraordinarily sturdy and their lifespan was also much longer compared to common doves. Allegedly, someone had once seen old doves that had lived for several thousand years, and under the nurturing of worldly spiritual qi, they had already turned spiritual. Whether the rumors were true or false, no one knew, but, in the last ages, the numerous rumors of Dove Peak had added a layer of mystery upon this distinctive peak. Allegedly, in every full moon night, making a vow below Dove Peak was especially effective, attracting many young disciples to linger at the foot of this peak, looking for a chance to find a place where a huge crowd of spotlessly white doves circled around in the sky to confess their feelings to their loved woman. Some disciples privately called this kind of romantic act dove shooting. Every full moon night, the disciples came here sneakily to scout Dove Peak, naturally, in fact, they had come here to make a vow or shoot a dove. Everyone was well aware of it. At the beginning of the night, the sky was covered with black clouds, but slowly, the black cloud dispersed and bright moonlight illuminated the world. Tonight just happened to be a full moon night. Under the veil of night, Ye Chuan walked quickly, heading straight towards the Dove Peak¡¯s summit. All along the way, he didn¡¯t encounter any guards, instead, saw several sneaking Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. Although they also saw Ye Chuan¡¯s figure, they didn¡¯t interrogate him, instead, showed the smile of tacit understanding. They thought that Ye Chuan who was wearing a dark robe and a big bamboo hat had come here to carry out a clandestine love affair like them. Upon seeing his tall and straight figure, in addition, sensing his indescribable temperament, some female disciples even gave him a seductive eye from distance, making Ye Chuan not know whether to laugh or to cry. ¡°Public morals are declining day by day, in those years, when I came to Heavenly Yao Sect, the disciples would move about with the greatest care, but now, these disciples are so brazen. In the last ages, generation after generation of young disciples have sown seeds and cultivated here, no wonder the land is so fertile here and doves have turned spiritual.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and carefully chose a remote and very steep path, trying to avoid numerous young men and women who were filled with burning passion for each other. Even if he walked right past them, these disciples didn¡¯t obstruct him. They thought that Ye Chuan was a kindred spirit who intentionally dressed up like this to not allow other people to recognize him. But, Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t want to meet them in order to avoid exposing his whereabouts. Without guards and hidden lookouts around, Ye Chuan¡¯s speed was very fast, only when he reached the vicinity of the summit, his footstep suddenly slowed down. In the beginning, he looked all around while searching inside the caves, but later, he simply closed his eyes as he walked forward. Doves were social creatures where the oldest dove was the leader and the rest follows the leader dove. Ye Chuan was looking for such an old dove. In the vicinity of Dove Peak¡¯s summit, there were large and small caves everywhere, and every cave was filled with doves. If he wanted to search these caves one by one to find the leader dove, then it was almost as difficult as fishing for a needle in the ocean. Ye Chuan quickly thought of a way and directly used his divine sense to scan the surrounding. The doves on Dove Peak were different from the common run. They were especially spirited. Like that, the leader dove was even more outstanding for sure. As long as the spirit was powerful enough, looking for a dove among millions of doves was possible! Ye Chuan who once used to dominate the entire Wilderness World was very experienced. The fact proved that he was really correct. Not long after, in a cave at the highest location, he noticed an uncommon dove. This dove wasn¡¯t very big in size, but the aged skin on its claws clearly stated its lifespan. It was already very old, no one knows how long it had lived in Heavenly Yao Sect. More than half of the feathers on its wings had already fallen off. But, on its bald wings and body, there was a faint radiance, as if it was about to sprout new feathers. Its eyes were even brighter and piercing which don¡¯t resemble the eyes of an old dove. Upon hearing the footsteps of Ye Chuan from far away, it sensed danger and before Ye Chuan approached it, it suddenly rushed out of its cave and flew into the sky. The doves in the nearby caves also flew out right after. This was not only the leader old dove, it was also a dove spirit that nearly achieved the dao! Ye Chuan was overjoyed, looking at that dove spirit circling in the sky. Gu gu gu, the dove¡¯s sounds resounded throughout the night sky as more and more doves flew out. Soon, all the doves of Dove Peak flew out and circled in the sky above Dove Peak, creating a unique scene throughout the history of Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°Look, doves, so many doves!¡± ¡°What¡¯s so good about doves? Can you still go on or not? You useless thing!¡± ¡°No, junior apprentice sister, you¡­, look!¡± The unusualness of doves quickly alerted a pair of man and woman who was making love under the moonlight. The man was the first person to notice the unusualness and was dumbstruck. The woman who was kneeling on the grassland with her buttocks raised high wished to continue, thus, she blamed this man to be useless. But, when she looked up, she was also stupefied. The doves of Dove Peak had always danced in the daytime and returned to their caves at night. But now, in the middle of the night, why did they suddenly rush out? Tonight just happened to be a full moon night. Many young disciples rushed over to Dove Peak like usual to make love, but not long after, regardless of those who had already done the deed or those still in the process of farming, all were alerted. They looked at the sky and were stupefied. ¡°Quick, immediately make a wish, this is a good omen!¡± ¡°Ancestor above, let my cultivation progress rapidly and breakthrough to Rank 5 Daoist Master realm.¡± ¡°What did you say? Didn¡¯t you say your greatest wish is to marry me before?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. Surprised for a moment, the young disciples came back to their senses. No one knew who shouted the first, the disciples began to make a wish towards those crowds of doves circling above Dove Peak. There were numerous wishes, some hope to breakthrough their bottlenecks, some hoped to become the elite disciples, and the others hoped to live forever and never grow old. For this reason, some little lovers who originally were on intimate terms began to argue. But, no one noticed that when the people were bowing their heads to make their wish, a wisp of bloody radiance suddenly soared from the summit of Dove Peak as a vague figure flew into the sky. Shortly afterward, a cyan lamp floated in the sky and a faint cyan light shrouded the entire Dove Peak, then the leader old dove plunged into a cyan lamp, and all other doves rushed after it. In the blink of an eye, over one million doves in the sky disappeared without a trace. Well-prepared Ye Chuan made a move without any hesitation. He used Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets to refine the leader dove spirit and took it into the Cyan Lotus Space. Then, without making any additional move, the remaining doves plunged into Cyan Lotus Space right after, leaving not a single one behind. Originally, he was just preparing to capture just several thousand doves, but after capturing the dove leader, the other poured in by themselves. Even if he wanted to stop, he was unable to. ¡°Thereupon, Dove Peak no longer has any dove!¡± Ye Chuan coldly looked at the empty Dove Peak, then storing the Cyan Lotus Lamp, he turned around and directly left the Dove Peak. At the foot of the mountain, the disciples who finished wishing lifted their heads. Only at that time, they discovered that the doves circling around the sky had already disappeared, and they were stunned again. Afterward, some people shouted miracle, saying the senior experts of Heavenly Yao Sect have manifested. But, there were also some people who felt this situation was strange. They secretly stepped forward and to examine, and discovered that all the doves the lived and multiplied on this Dove Peak had disappeared, therefore, they hastily returned to report. Chapter 631: Discovered a Mental Case At night, the palace at the summit of Tianqing Peak was still brightly lit. Elder Tianqing was sitting straight on a big chair located at the end of the palace hall. Below, several trusted subordinates and elite disciples including Son of Heaven Jin Hong was standing. Other than Heavenly Yao Peak where Heavenly Empress resided, in the entire Heavenly Yao Sect, this Tianqing Peak was the highest peak. This tall peak was also very steep, even a flying bird couldn¡¯t look over it. The three sides of this peak were precipitous cliffs that were hard to climb. Looking from the distance, this peak resembled a towering sharp sword. Its momentum was threatening and the worldly spiritual qi on this peak was especially dense. It was a treasured land for cultivation within Heavenly Yao Sect. Originally, this peak was not called Tianqing Peak, after Tianqing became Elder Tianqing and had the authority over the entire sect, the name was changed. Hasty footsteps resounded and a guard leader rushed in, ¡°Report¡­, Great Elder, doves¡­, doves¡­¡± ¡°What happened? Speak clearly!¡± Elder Tianqing who was sitting straight in the hall shouted, showing his prestige. ¡°Great¡­, Great Elder, something bad happened.¡± The guard leader knelt on the ground and breathed heavily for a while, gasping for breath. Only after a pause, he said, ¡°Some disciples sent an urgent report, all the doves of Dove Peak have disappeared.¡± ¡°What? Someone went to Dove Peak to steal doves? Which mental case has done this? Which sect¡¯s disciple has eaten too much and feeling uncomfortable or tired of living?¡± Elder Tianqing was surprised and impatient. He cursed loudly. Soon after that, his complexion sunk and said, ¡°Let me make sure, are you saying that all the doves of Dove Peak have disappeared?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The guard leader replied, and upon seeing Elder Tianqing was furious, he involuntarily began to tremble. ¡°Not a single dove is left? Over a million doves all disappeared in a night?¡± Elder Tianqing questioned closely. His sharp eyes were already filled with dense killing intent. ¡°Yes, all doves have disappeared, but¡­, but not in a span of one night, rather an instant¡­, they all disappeared in an instant.¡± The guard leader was terrified in his heart. He feared that Elder Tianqing would vent his anger on him. But, under the glare of the latter, he had to toughen his scalp and report. ¡°According to the disciples who had made a secret appointment to meet at the foot of the Dove Peak, roughly two hours after the dusk, the doves suddenly flew out from their caves and circled around in the sky above Dove Peak for an unknown reason. This kind of affair had never happened before, the disciples thought that it was a miracle at that time. In addition, believing the senior experts had manifested for this grand sacrifice ceremony, they lowered their heads to make a wish. After that, when they lifted their head after they made their wish, the doves in the sky had already disappeared without a trace.¡± ¡°Trash, what miracle and manifestation, each and everyone is an idiot!¡± Elder Tianqing flew into a rage. He realized that this matter was not simple. He cursed furiously, ¡°Tonight is a full moon night, many people must have sneaked into the Dove Peak. In addition, there are so many guards and hidden lookouts in the vicinity, did no one see anything unusual?¡± ¡°No, this subordinate has already sent someone to investigate carefully, but all those disciples said that they hadn¡¯t seen any stranger. In addition, no suspicious traces and clues were found in the vicinity.¡± The guard leader kneeling on the ground was getting more and more terrified. His teeth were already chattering. The defense of the Dove Peak was not under his responsibility, but as the leader of the nearby region¡¯s patrol party, he was responsible for a strict investigation. After the event of Small Yao Lake, Elder Tianqing has given the order to guard strictly. Now, something happened in Dove Peak, would Elder Tianqing easily let the matter drop? ¡°The entire Dove Peak is wiped out, but you all don¡¯t know anything at all, what is the use of you, a guard leader?¡± Elder Tianqing suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the void. Then, the kneeling guard leader was pulled towards him. Now, his five fingers were pressed on the latter¡¯s forehead. As long as, he used a bit of strength, five holes would appear on the head of this guard leader. ¡°This subordinate is guilty, Great Elder, spare this one¡¯s life, Great Elder, spare this one¡¯s life¡­¡± The guard leader begged loudly. Under the restriction of Elder Tianqing, he was powerless to struggle and also didn¡¯t dare to struggle, he could only beg for mercy. At the crucial moment, he suddenly thought of something and shouted loudly, ¡°There is a clue, Great Elder, this subordinate found a clue. Tonight, someone saw a person wearing a black robe and big bamboo hat in the vicinity of the Guest Receiving Peak, he just happened to be returning from the direction of Dove Peak¡­¡± ¡°Who¡¯s that? Was he captured?¡± Elder Tianqing inquired with his fingers pressed on the forehead of this guard leader. ¡°No, but, according to the guards in the vicinity, this black-robed person disappeared in the Guest Receiving Peak. It is very likely that he is a guest of a certain sect. Looking at the time of his appearance, it is very likely that he has something to do with the matter of Dove Peak!¡± The guard leader hastily replied. According to the guards¡¯ report, there indeed was someone who had seen a mysterious black-robed person in the vicinity of the Guest Receiving Peak who disappeared instantly afterward. This black-robed person was somewhat suspicious, but since he disappeared too quickly, it made people doubt whether they were hallucinating. Linking him to the Dove Peak was somewhat far-fetched, thus, the guard leader didn¡¯t want to tell this because of the lack of basis, but in this critical juncture of life and death, in order to live, he spoke out. ¡°A black robe and a big bamboo hat? Does he look thin and tall?¡± Elder Tianqing asked closely, thinking of a person who had forcibly broken into Small Yao Lake. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± The guard leader nodded. In fact, he had just heard the guards talking about such matters, he had not personally witnessed him, he didn¡¯t know whether he was tall or short, but in order to save his life, he shifted the attention of Elder Tianqing. ¡°Humph, scram, immediately go to check it out, even if you have to dig three meters deep, I want that person in front of me!¡± Elder Tianqing pushed that guard leader away. And the latter fell onto the ground. Only at this moment, the guard leader finally sighed in relief. Afterward, he crawled up and escaped from the hall as if his life depended on it. Behind, the complexion of Elder Tianqing sunk further and with a crack, the armguard of his big chair was crushed. Although someone had noticed a mysterious black-robed person in the vicinity of Guest Welcoming Peak, was it easy to find that person? In this Grand Sacrifice Competition, 173 sects had come from afar to participate. There were more than 8,000 people. This was the largest number of people that came to participate in the last several hundred years. Some had received an invitation and had come with a grand congratulatory gift, but some had come from afar without invitation, and even the people of Overseas World had come. According to Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s usual practice, they refused nobody. Such a large scale competition let Elder Tianqing make a big profit, but troubles also followed at the same time. Even if it was determined that the uninvited guest was mixed in the midst of sect¡¯s guests, how could they determine him among over 8,000 people? In any case, they can¡¯t go around and interrogate every guest sect. If they did that, then they would become a big joke. ¡°Great Elder, I know a person, he might be the person you are looking for.¡± Jin Hong, who had been silently watching at one side, quickly understood the anger and frustration of Elder Tianqing. Elder Tianqing was somewhat surprised. He looked at Son of Heaven, Jin Hong, who had just exited his seclusion and asked, ¡°Oh, who?¡± ¡°A disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect.¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong replied. ¡°That extremely arrogant Nan Batian who had cut off Ouyang Huo¡¯s leg?¡± Elder Tianqing asked. And without waiting for the answer of Jin Hong, he shook his head, ¡°No, impossible, that Nan Batian fellow is tall and sturdy, and although his cultivation is extraordinary, he still doesn¡¯t have the ability to break into Small Yao lake, in addition, he also has no means to instantly take away over a million doves. Besides, how make doves could he steal at a time?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not Nan Batian, rather his Big Senior Apprentice Brother, the Big Disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect. Great Elder, I suspect that it is very likely that brat¡¯s doing. His cultivation is unfathomable and his build just happened to be tall and thin. Of course, whether he had the ability to steal over a million doves or what his objective is, I don¡¯t know. After we capture and interrogate him, we will know!¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong replied. He looked calm, but his eyes were sharp. He was more and more suspicious of Ye Chuan. Today, when he went to Guest Receiving Peak to look for Nan Batian, the sudden appearance of Ye Chuan had shocked him greatly. On the surface, he looked ordinary, but his cultivation was unfathomable. Nan Batian was already so powerful, but he was able to make him so respectful, what kind of abilities did he have? Son of Heaven Jin Hong was perturbed in his heart. When he thought of Ye Chuan, he felt like he was no the match of Ye Chuan. This, however, was the first time he was feeling like this. The disciples of other sects had never made him have this kind of feeling. Ye Chuan was the only one. They similarly were Big Disciples, and he was the Big Disciple of the grand Heavenly Yao Sect, but he actually was unable to see through an unknown sect¡¯s Big Disciple. This made him reluctant to not think, but upon thinking carefully, he felt that Ye Chuan was unfathomable. Chapter 632: A Dangerous Momen t ¡°Oh, Nan Batian¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother? Is his cultivation the strongest in that something Bellowing Waves Sect?¡± Elder Tianqing was very surprised. Son of Heaven Jin Hong nodded his head and said, ¡°Yes, above Nan Batian, there is his Big Senior Apprentice Brother. According to Nan Batian, he was taught by this Big Senior Apprentice Brother.¡± ¡°You met this Nan Batian¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother?¡± Elder Tianqing asked, looking dignified. Originally, according to the previous plan, Son of Heaven Jin Hong was to appear at the final moment, and participate the final match of Grand Sacrifice Competition. Elder Tianqing had made an arrangement for this. He wanted to take this opportunity to make Son of Heaven Jin Hong well-known. He wanted to make various big sects know that Heavenly Yao Sect now had a Big Disciple and forget about Hong Zixia, that Heavenly Maiden. This was the key to the success of his reform. Because of this, the Grand Sacrifice Competition of this time was extraordinarily grand and unprecedented in scale, but, the appearance of Nan Batian suddenly disrupted all his plans. Ouyang Huo, this butcher¡¯s knife, had collapsed in advance, thus, he had to summon Son of Heaven Jin Hong in advance. Heavenly Yao Sect was filled with talented experts, but in the younger generation, other than Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, the one with the most outstanding cultivation base was just Son of Heaven Jin Hong. Nan Batian who had come from the Overseas World was ferocious, in the eyes of Elder Tianqing, only Son of Heaven Jin Hong could defeat him. The latter was also the only who with the hope of winning this big competition. As a trump card, Elder Tianqing still had confidence in Son of Heaven Jin Hong. The latter had already reached Peak Daoist Master realm. As long as he gave the latter a powerful treasure, he could defeat Nan Batian without any issue. But now, he suddenly heard that there was still Nan Batian¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother, and the latter seemed to have a higher cultivation base, that was troublesome! ¡°I have seen him, but I have yet to come into blows with him.¡± Jin Hong paused for a bit and added, ¡°Forgive this disciple, this disciple was unable to see through that person¡¯s cultivation, but I can feel that Nan Batian¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother is absolutely not simple. It is very likely that he is a hidden expert. He remains very low-key. When meeting outsiders, he always wear a big bamboo hat, tightly covering his entire face. Great Elder, I suspect that he is very likely the uninvited guest that broke into Small Yao Lake two days ago and killed Hall Master Xiahou Qing!¡± ¡°Pass down my orders, make Black and White Elders act in person, immediately go to Guest Receiving Peak and carefully investigate Bellowing Waves Sect, see if Nan Batian¡¯s that Big Senior Apprentice Brother is the one we are looking for!¡± Elder Tianqing immediately ordered without any hesitation. On the night of Small Yao Lake incident, he had not made a direct contact with that uninvited guest. Within the sect, the one that should be most familiar with that uninvited guest was Hall Master Xiahou Qing. But, the latter had already been killed. Thus, only Black and White Elders were most familiar with the uninvited guest now. They two had a close encounter with that uninvited guest. With the cultivation base and experience of Black and White Elders, as long as they saw him, the Big Senior Apprentice Brother of Nan Batian would be recognized immediately! ¡°Yes!¡± A trusted subordinate standing below bowed and left quickly to transmit Elder Tianqing¡¯s order. Soon, a large group of guards went towards Guest Receiving Peak under the lead of Black and White Elders. The other guards also received the orders. They were to completely surround the Guest Receiving Peak with a torch in their hands. Late at night, in a room of Guest Receiving Peak, Ye Chuan was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His body was twitching and sweating profusely. After the success in Dove Peak, he quickly returned to Guest Receiving Peak to restore his energy. But, not long after, Octopus Empress¡¯s punishment came. Once every three days, Octopus Talisman would flare up and he had to suffer inhumane torture. This torture wouldn¡¯t kill him, but every time, it made him feel like his skin was being peel off, in addition, tingling pain came from deep inside the bone and heart, and soon, he wouldn¡¯t be able to breathe¡­¡­ In an instant, he had suffer all kinds of pain. The Octopus Talisman left within Ye Chuan¡¯s body by Octopus Empress increased his strength, but it also brought unimaginable pain. Once every three days, it flared up. Ordinary people might have already fallen apart, dying a violent death, or, they might have ended their lives to escape this inhumane pain. Ah¡­, a muffled groan escaped from Ye Chuan¡¯s throat. His body was twisted and trembling nonstop. But, he endured the pain and continue to sit on cross-legged posture. He used his strong willpower to endure this wave after wave of pain. Inhumane torture could make people go insane and fall apart, but as long as they endured past it, this would be another kind of training! In the midst of violent torment, Ye Chuan maintained his reason and he didn¡¯t roar in pain. He regarded this punishment of Octopus Empress as a kind of training. In this world, weak had always been the prey of the strong. Without sufficient strength, anyone would be suppressed and subjected to various calamities. In the eyes of ordinary people, a person might be an extraordinary personage, but behind the scene, he might have unspeakable pressure and restriction. Octopus Empress who was trapped in that ancient grave world was the best example. She was a Sage realm expert, but wasn¡¯t she being imprisoned for a long time? If you want to be completely free and never be bullied by other people, then you have to take a heaven-defying path and reach the pinnacle of cultivation. Those who don¡¯t know this point, strictly speaking, they wouldn¡¯t be regarded as the real cultivator. Like a flower in a greenhouse, although beautiful, they would fade away someday. Ye Chuan, however, was different. He already had a clear understanding of this world. In the past, he could summon wind and rain throughout the entire Wilderness World. That kind of strength was not something that fell into his lap without any effort. He had stepped on countless corpse mountains to reach that position. All the opponents who once opposed him, either submitted to him or had already turned into cold corpses. ¡°Come, Octopus Empress, make your punishment even stronger!¡± Ye Chuan spat out a mouthful of blood. His injuries were heavy, but his spirit was roaring. He didn¡¯t give in under this inhumane torment, instead, his fighting spirit became stronger and stronger. At this moment, he didn¡¯t know what was going on outside, all his attention was focused on this ferocious torment, enduring the pain ordinary people couldn¡¯t imagine. ¡°Quick, surround this courtyard, don¡¯t allow even a fly to slip past us!¡± ¡°Heavenly Yao Guards are dealing with a matter, everyone else should step aside, all those who disobey will be beheaded without pardon!¡± Along with heavy footsteps, a large group of Heavenly Yao Guards with sharp weapons and torches in their hand came over and tightly surrounded a quiet courtyard. They were filled with dense killing intent. There was a young disciple of a small sect who had just woken up and was in confusion. He didn¡¯t know what was going on and was a little late to step aside. The result, he was sent flying by a palm attack. He had already turned into a corpse when he fell to the ground. Two old men with black and white face landed inside the courtyard and their energy fluctuation made even Peak Daoist Master realm experts feel fear. Half Sage realm expert! In addition, two of them! The disciples of various sects trembled in fear. Everyone panicked and hid as their teeth chattered in fear. Just the courtyard where Bellowing Waves Sect was located was quiet without any movement as if everyone was asleep. Chapter 633: Arrogant or Stupid? ¡°Is that kid hiding in this place? Heh heh, I will see where he will run to this time!¡± White Elder looked all around and saw Heavenly Yao Guards had already surrounded this entire courtyard and laughed coldly. He then lightly clapped his hands and well-trained Heavenly Yao Guards took out sharp arrows and crossbows, and took an aim at the wing where Bellowing Waves Sect was staying. Bang, several figures burst out from the two rooms adjacent to Ye Chuan¡¯s rooms. Nan Tiandu, Rain Demon, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King, these five experts rushed out in succession. Other than Nan Tiandu who had participated in the competition, all others were wearing a dark robe and big bamboo hat. In addition, even when facing Black and White Elders, these two super experts, along with a large group of Heavenly Yao Guards, they still emitted strong killing intent. Of course, all of them had weakened their aura and energy fluctuation, making themselves look like later stage Daoist Master realm, otherwise, with Nan Tiandu, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King, these three Half Sage realm experts here, these disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect would have trembled. ¡°Eh, not bad, you all are sensible, now we can round up the entire gang at one fell swoop so as to avoid wasting time by searching one by one, hahahaha!¡± White Elder laughed as he coldly swept past Nan Tiandu and others. As Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s senior expert, he was very experienced and well-known, but he actually was unable to see through the true strength of Nan Tiandu and others. Then, coldly added, ¡°Where is that Big Disciple of yours? Call him out! He dares to forcibly break into our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s important land, Small Yao Lake, but now, he doesn¡¯t dare to come out?¡± White Elder looked towards the room of Ye Chuan. The doors of the two rooms were completely broken, only the room in the middle was quiet without any movement. Clearly, Ye Chuan was hiding in that room. ¡°Humph, that kid must be inside, capture him directly, why is there a need to speak so much nonsense!¡± Black Elder rushed directly towards the room of Ye Chuan. But, in the next moment, a tall figure appeared in front of him and blocked his way. Nan Tiandu brandished his Cyan Dragon Moon Blade, coldly blocking Black Elder¡¯s path, ¡°Old Man Black, stop for me! Whoever dares to disturb I, Nan Batian¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡¯s cultivation, I will slay him!¡± Black and White Elders were surprised. The guests trembling in other rooms were shocked, even more. A trifling Daoist Master realm expert, not to mention blocking the path of a Half Sage realm expert, he even was so arrogant, who else could be so arrogant other than Nan Batian? Looking at murderous looking Nan Batian, people were in disbelief. The extreme courage and arrogance of Nan Batian, people had already seen them, but they had never expected that he was so arrogant and so insane. Now, he was not blocking the path of some elite disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect, rather a dignified Half Sage realm elder who could crush Nan Batian to death with a flick of his finger. Could it be that Nan Batian truly didn¡¯t fear death? Jin Hong had also rushed over and mixed together with various disciples who had rushed over upon hearing the news to watch the excitement. Upon seeing Nan Tiandu blocking the path of Black Elder, he was shocked in his heart, but soon after that, he sneered. In people¡¯s eyes, Nan Batian was extremely courageous and arrogant, but in his eyes, he was an untactful fool, which was no different from courting death. ¡°Unfortunately, it seems there will not be any decent opponents in the following matches.¡± Son of Heaven Hong Jin sneered and pretended to sign in regret. Before he finished speaking, sure enough, he saw Black Elder ferociously making a move, wanting to dig out Nan Batian¡¯s heart. Unlike White Elder who hid a knife behind his smile, Black Elder had always been a silent type who directly made a move, and his means were even more ferocious. Regardless of onlooking disciples of various sects or Heavenly Yao Guards surrounding the courtyard, they opened their eyes wide to see the way of arrogant Nan Batian¡¯s death. A strong energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from Old Demon of Mount Yin and others. Upon seeing the situation was anything but reassuring, they couldn¡¯t control themselves and wanted to display their real strength. As for Nan Tiandu, although his energy fluctuation didn¡¯t change, his original overbearing and arrogant eyes suddenly become cold, like a millennium glacier, which made even Black Elder feel chill and involuntarily shivered. ¡°I will say again, whoever dares to disturb I, Nan Batian¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡¯s cultivation, I will slay him and make his head a urinal!¡± Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t display his real strength, but his expression turned cold and his killing intent intensified. Needless to ask, he vaguely knew that it was very likely that Ye Chuan¡¯s identity as the one who broke into Small Yao Lake was exposed, thus, attracting Black and White Elders and these numerous Heavenly Yao Guards. The situation was anything but reassuring, like this, not to mention breaking into Heavenly Yao Cave to save a person, even safely escaping from here would be hard. However, Ye Chuan was at a crucial moment now, so he had to hold them back. If they rushed over and disturbed him, then perhaps, he might suffer a backlash and enter qi deviation. No matter what happened, he had to stop Black and White Elders. ¡°What a big tone! So courageous in front of a Half Sage realm expert, are all the cultivators of Overseas World so crazy or so stupid? Hahahaha¡­¡­¡± White Elder roared with laughter, and without emitting powerful killing intent, he just took a step forward and stood in front of Black Elder. But, just this step vastly increased the pressure in this courtyard. With two Half Sage realm experts making move together, who could stop them? The onlookers were nervous looking at the current scene. Behind Nan Tiandu, the complexion of Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and others also changed. Especially, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King, these two super yao beasts, they prepared to undo their seal. Even Nan Tiandu also looked somewhat solemn. If it was just Black Elder, he was fearless and had the confidence to deal with him; but, if Black and White Elders came together, if he didn¡¯t undo his seal now, then he might not even have a chance later and die in their hands. Now, undoing the seal, the purpose of this trip and their identity would be exposed. All their previous efforts would be wasted and they would no longer be able to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia; but, not undoing the seal, he might die! What should be done? Nan Tiandu¡¯s looked tense and had some hesitation in his heart. Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King were also the same. Crack, the wooden door of the middle room opened when Nan Tiandu and others were hesitating, and Ye Chuan¡¯s figure appeared in front of everyone. He was wearing a dark robe and a big bamboo hat. His figure and face were completely covered. No one could sense energy fluctuation or killing intent from him, which, however, made numerous Heavenly Yao Guards feel nervous. The overbearing Black and White Elders also became solemn and they looked alert as their energy fluctuation rose again! Chapter 364: I’m a dying person ¡°Two Elders, are you looking for me?¡± Ye Chuan slowly stepped forward without any hint of anxiousness. At the critical moment, when the war was about to broke out, he took the initiative to open the door and walked out. Looking at his pace, Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu frowned, but said nothing, quietly watching how Ye Chuan could deal with this situation. ¡°Boy, it¡¯s really you, come with us to Heavenly Yao Hall.¡± The sharp eyes of White Elder carefully sized Ye Chuan up and added sinisterly, ¡°Well, what a good hidden expert! After breaking into Small Yao Lake and killing our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Law Enforcement Hall Master Xiuhou Qing, you actually still didn¡¯t run far away rather stayed here, you truly have extremely big guts! Boy, take off your bamboo hat, this lordship is truly curious, what kind of character are you?¡± White Elder who always hid knife behind his smile had a murderous look and Heavenly Yao Guards around immediately aimed their arrows at Ye Chuan. For a moment, the atmosphere became even tenser. As long as Ye Chuan dared to not follow White Elder¡¯s instruction, his heart might be pierced by thousands of arrows! The experts of Heavenly Yao Sect who had rushed over upon hearing the news also joined their ranks. Now, this courtyard was filled with the people of Heavenly Yao Sect. As for the guests of other sects, they retreated far away to watch the excitement. For Ye Chuan¡¯s party, the situation was getting worse. Now, if they didn¡¯t undo their seal and fight back and keep dragging on, then they might not be able to leave this place in one piece! ¡°Elder, what are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand.¡± Ye Chuan denied the allegation and added faintly after a pause, ¡°I am just a disciple of a small overseas sect, it is also the first time I have come to the mainland. I have never heard of this Small Yao Lake nor killed a person. It is absolutely impossible for me to do this. How can I have the ability to forcibly break into your sect¡¯s forbidden zone and kill your Hall Master?¡± Even facing the pressure of Black and White Elders as well as other experts, Ye Chuan still remained calm and composed. The other party was already at his doorstep, he couldn¡¯t dodge nor hide, so he just took the initiative to come out. ¡°Yes, saying this disciple of an overseas sect is that uninvited guest who forcibly broke into Small Yao Lake, what is the basis? Could it be that Heavenly Yao Sect is spouting nonsense?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, what benefit does this disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect have to do that?¡± Outside the courtyard, the guests that were watching the excitement made comments in succession, looking at Ye Chuan. The sudden appearance of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts and disciples in the middle of the night surprised and confused people. After listening for a while, they gradually realized why Black and White Elders had come here. Thus, everyone was even more curious about these Bellowing Waves Sect¡¯s disciples that came from Overseas World. Some even suspected that they were not from the Overseas World, rather were just fake disciples that had mixed with Bellowing Waves Sect¡¯s disciples to sneak in. But, there was no proof to prove whether Ye Chuan and others were real or fake. Secondly, they didn¡¯t understand why Ye Chuan did so. In this Grand Sacrifice Competition, there were many who had sneaked in with ulterior motives, and there was no shortage of fierce devils. But, without great benefit, who would forcibly break into Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s forbidden ground and kill a Hall Master. Wasn¡¯t that just asking for trouble when he was exposed? Heavenly Yao Sect claimed to be first under Heaven sect. It had great prestige, but also had attracted a lot of enemies. But, only when the wall was about to collapse, many people would step forward to push it down, when the wall was still strong, no one will take the initiative to push the wall. White Elder couldn¡¯t say anything and began to have doubts. He didn¡¯t understand why that uninvited guest forcibly broke into Small Yao Lake. Looking at the hidden sturdy figure of Ye Chuan, his eyes shone a little. Ye Chuan¡¯s build and attire seemed very similar to that uninvited guest, but upon the careful look, it also seemed a little different. ¡°Boy, still want to argue? If this truly is your first time coming to the mainland, then how come you know the person in front of him is an elder? In addition, how do you know our Small Yao Lake is the forbidden area?¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong who originally was standing outside the courtyard suddenly flew in and shouted overbearingly at Ye Chuan. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s definitely him!¡± ¡°Why are you speaking so much nonsense, directly capture and interrogate, then we will know everything!¡± Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples who had rushed over upon hearing the news made a commotion. They all echoed the statement of Jin Hong. White Elder who originally was hesitating a little quickly became stern. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, noble son Jin, I didn¡¯t expect to see you again so quickly.¡± Ye Chuan faintly smiled and calmly confronted the commotion as he said, ¡°Heavenly Yao Sect has experts everywhere, but a Half Sage realm expert is still rare. Other than elders who had already cultivated for a long time, who else can have such a strong cultivation base? As for the matter of Small Yao Lake being a forbidden area, that is even simpler. Your Heavenly Yao Sect has long inheritance and everywhere inside the sect is guarded strictly with ancient restrictions. For us, the disciples of small sects, everywhere is a forbidden area!¡± ¡°Yes, when did Heavenly Yao Sect allowed the guests to move around randomly? Didn¡¯t they say everywhere is a forbidden area and forbade us to move around?¡± ¡°He is right, if a Half Sage realm expert isn¡¯t an elder, is he a disciple, what kind of nonsense is that?¡± The guests make all sorts of comments. Ye Chuan¡¯s words got the recognition of many people. Many people had come to Heavenly Yao Sect from afar, but the first sentence they heard was everywhere within Heavenly Yao Sect was forbidden area, and it was strictly forbidden to walk around randomly, even couldn¡¯t leave the Guest Receiving Peak. Ye Chuan¡¯s words were a bit stretched to explain himself, but upon careful thought, it was indeed reasonable. Jin Hong¡¯s complexion sunk. For a moment, he didn¡¯t know how to refute. He had a vague feeling that Ye Chuan was absolutely not simple and was that uninvited guest that intruded Small Yao Lake, but he simply had no proof. If it was any other day, then he would have been directly captured and interrogated for an answer regardless of proof or not. But now, that won¡¯t do, in this Grand Sacrifice Competition, if someone from the guest was captured without proof, then how would other sects look at them? Will they be able to continue to hold this grand sacrifice competition again? ¡°Boy, no matter how you argue, it¡¯s useless. The more you argue, the more it proves that you are guilty. Come with us to Heavenly Yao Hall!¡± White Elder ferociously took a step forward and overbearingly prepared to make a move. Like Son of Heaven Jin Hong, he also had no evidence of Ye Chuan being that uninvited guest, but he was unwilling to return empty-handed. ¡°If you want a fight, then just say so, I, Nan Batain, will gladly accept it! As long as I, Nan Batian, still have a breath left, don¡¯t imagine that anyone can touch even a hair of my Big Senior Apprentice Brother!¡± Nan Tiandu rushed up and stood in front of Ye Chuan and his energy fluctuation gradually rose as he secretly prepared to undo the seal and began killing. Old Demon of Mount Yin also sneered as he rushed over with others. Upon seeing this, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples also stepped forward and dense killing intent rippled in the air. ¡°Ai, this elder, also noble son Jin, look clearly, I am just a dying person, how can I have an ability to break into your forbidden area?¡± At the critical moment, Ye Chuan held the shoulder of Nan Tiandu and signaled him to stop. He then slowly took off his big bamboo hat. Suddenly, a deadly pale and bloodless face appeared in front of everyone. Not to mention his skin was so pale, it was also dried and cracked as if a tree bark baked in sun for many years. He looked very exhausted and was at the end of his life, making Black and White Elders along with others quickly think of a person, Kumu Warrior Tianku who was at the end of his life. ¡°You¡­ what¡¯s with your appearance?¡± Jin Hong exclaimed loudly. He had thought that Ye Chuan was a hidden expert. But after the latter took off his big bamboo hate, he discovered that he was wrong. Such a person who had reached the end of his life, how can he break into Small Yao Lake? Not to mention killing Hall Master Xiahou Qing and escaping the chase of Black and White Elders? ¡°A long time ago, I followed my master to explore an overseas ancient ominous domain where we encountered a Peak Half Sage realm yao beast. After the fight, my master exhausted all his strength to send me out of that ominous domain, but he was buried there forever. And I, although was able to survive, I was heavily poisoned with no antidote. Since then, my qi, blood and vitality had been fading away. I already have not much left to live. This time, I came to distant mainland to your Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Grand Sacrifice Competition to let my junior brother Nan Batian experience the world, so that after I die, there would be another person who can support the sect after my master and me.¡± Ye Chuan faintly sighed, making a beautiful story with half-lie and half-truth. Because of refining Yinyang Life Wheel, his physical condition had been deteriorated sharply these past few days. He resembled Tianku who was at the end of his lifespan. In addition, he had just endured the punishment of Octopus Empress, making him look even more exhausted and weak. His energy fluctuation was also inferior to even Rank 1 Daoist Master realm. His life was like a dim candle that would extinguish at any time. In such a state, breaking into Small Yao Lake and killing Xiahou Qing would be a strange matter! ¡°Humph, let¡¯s go!¡± Black and White Elders looked at each other and turned away. With their cultivation, they could discern that this weak appearance of Ye Chaun was not fake at all in a glance. This state was completely different from that uninvited guest! Behind, Jin Hong ferociously glared at Ye Chuan. He still felt that something was wrong, but he had to leave. After these three left, Heavenly Yao Guards and Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts also dispersed. Then, the onlooking crowds also left in succession. So close! Ye Chuan wore the big bamboo hat again as a bead of sweat flowed down his cheeks. A sudden storm temporarily dissipated, but as long as they stayed in Heavenly Yao Sect, the storm was very likely to come back at any time. He had to think of a way to quickly save a person and leave! Black and White Elders and others gradually drifted away, but the calm heart of Ye Chuan sunk further. Chapter 635: Passing on a Technique Ye Chuan returned to the room and sat cross-legged on the floor. Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others also came in secret. All of them were very worried. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, are you truly seriously injured? Or, are you poisoned?¡± Nan Tiandu took the initiative to ask. The current state of Ye Chuan, not only greatly surprised Black and White Elders, Son of Heaven Jin Hong and others, even Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were also greatly surprised. After returning from Small Yao Lake, Ye Chuan¡¯s state was not very good. Nan Tiandu and others knew this point. They also knew that Ye Chuan would suffer the punishment of Octopus Empress, once every three days, but, they had never imagined that Ye Chuan actually was in such a poor state. It looked like he truly was at the end of his life. ¡°My injuries aren¡¯t serious, they are still within the controllable range. Returning to Cloud Mist Sect after saving Zixia and refining a pill to nurture my body, I will be fine.¡± Ye Chuan replied, hiding the mysterious Yinyang Life Wheel¡¯s secret. This was his new trump card. Nan Tiandu and others didn¡¯t know it and he also didn¡¯t want to speak about it. ¡°Your Excellency, are you truly fine?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin asked. He was also worried. Among the five experts, he could be regarded as one of the people who had been with Ye Chuan the most. He had never seen Ye Chuan being in such a weak state. After the reincarnation, Ye Chuan paid special attention to strengthening his body. Every time he broke through a realm, he could sweep through all the cultivators of the same realm relying on his doughty body and violent power. But, his current appearance, what was going on here? Did he encounter some troubles he couldn¡¯t deal with? Old Demon of Mount Yin had a murderous nature. Usually, he loved to see the world burn, but in fact, he was very thoughtful. Because of this, he was especially worried that Ye Chuan would fall first before saving Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. ¡°Rest assured, I am confident, this time, we will definitely save Zixia and also successfully return to Cloud Mist Sect with everyone. Although I am physically weak now, as long as I rest a bit, no one can stop me! I am tired, you all can leave first. Brother Tiandu, remember, in the final match, victory is not important, the more commotion you can cause, the better.¡± Ye Chuan instructed and slowly closed his eyes, beginning to cultivate. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, rest assured!¡± Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others withdrew and closed the door behind. They returned to their own room to restore their energy. Only the assassin Rain Demon sat in front of Ye Chuan¡¯s door, personally becoming the dharma protractor of Ye Chuan so as to avoid anyone of Heavenly Yao Sect take advantage of this occasion to harm Ye Chuan. Sure enough, upon seeing Rain Demon was sitting cross-legged in front of Ye Chuan¡¯s room in alert, the shadows outside the courtyard swayed and several figures disappeared quickly. Their cultivation was powerful, at least was Rank 7 Daoist Master realm, and they wore Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s standard battle robe. It was very likely that they staying here to monitor or even get rid of Ye Chuan in secret. Merely, whether they were sent by Black and White Elders or Son of Heaven Jin Hong, no one knew. Rain Demon sat cross-legged on the ground without any movement as if he didn¡¯t sense any movement outside the courtyard. But, upon careful observation, one could see mist was condensing around his body at an unknown time. When it was really dangerous, these mist would immediately condense into raindrops, then transform into sharp blades to behead his opponents. Although Rain Demon was still, he was already using his secret technique, preparing deadly moves. Among five great experts around Ye Chuan, his cultivation was far from being the highest. Compared to Nan Tiandu, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King, these three Half Sage realm experts, there was a big gap. He was just Peak Daoist Master realm like Old Demon of Mount Yin. But as an assassin, he was very calm and patient to an amazing degree. In order to assassinate a person, he could lurk in the ice and snow for a full three months. With him as the dharma protector of Ye Chuan, the uninvited guests of Heavenly Yao Sect would have no chance to even approach Ye Chuan. Inside the room, Ye Chuan was also sitting still, but, his powerful divine sense had already sensed everything clearly. Inside and outside this courtyard, even a fluttering leaf couldn¡¯t escape his divine sense. He appreciated Rain Demon even more. If Nan Tiandu or Old Demon of Mount Yin was in his place, then they might have already rushed out and attacked. Rain Demon, however, didn¡¯t move at all as if nothing had happened. Inside Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s territory, this was undoubtedly the sensible method. One should remain calm, but at the critical moment, launch a fatal move to take life. An assassin was after all an assassin, they had always been direct. ¡°With time, can Rain Demon become the King of Assassin or even the legendary God of Assassin?¡± Ye Chuan muttered and was somewhat looking forward to the future. In the next moment, using his spirit, he passed a technique to Rain Demon. His voice directly resounded in the mind of Rain Demon, ¡°Rain Demon, I have a technique, it¡¯s called Peerless Style Technique. According to the legend, this is the source of all the style techniques under the heaven. After achieving success in cultivation, you will know all wind style, earth style, water style and other style techniques, comprehend it well!¡± Ye Chuan was quite looking forward to the future of Rain Demon. Originally, he intended to transmit Cyan Feather Technique to Rain Demon after returning to Cloud Mist Sect as this was a first-rate technique he snatched from the first-rate assassin in his previous life. For an assassin, achieving success in the cultivation of this technique would be like a tiger had grown wings. But, after thinking more, Ye Chuan simply transmitted Peerless Style Technique which was even harder to cultivate and also even more powerful. This technique was simply too hard to cultivate, the average person could never achieve success, wanting to master was even harder, it needed natural talent, hard work and also needed good luck. Even Ye Chuan himself was far from achieving perfection in this technique. If Rain Demon mastered this technique, then he would definitely become a terrifying existence in the future, becoming the unprecedented and unrepeatable super-assassin in Wilderness World. Rain Demon was surprised. The sudden voice of Ye Chuan in his mind was beyond his expectation. In the next moment, when a section of profound technique appeared in his mind, he quickly became excited. Immediately afterward, he turned around and kowtow loudly nine times to Ye Chuan from outside the door. With his knowledge, from the mnemonic chant of Peerless Style Technique that appeared in his mind, he immediately knew that this was a very rare merit law. Even if it was not Top Heaven-grade, it was at least Mid Heaven-grade merit law. For many sects and loose cultivations, just Top Earth-grade merit law was something that couldn¡¯t be sought, just encounter. If Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t passed it down, then with only his effort, even in his lifetime, he might have never come into contact with this kind of peerless technique. Rain Demon didn¡¯t say a word, he, however, was extremely excited and was even more respectful towards Ye Chuan. This respect was not only on the surface, rather was deeply engraved in his mind. When he was just subdued and become the follower of Ye Chuan, he indeed was somewhat reluctant, merely, he was forced by the situation. But, slowly, along with the understanding of Ye Chuan, the conflict in his heart had already dissipated, replaced by deep admiration and respect. People must know oneself, the path of cultivation was like sailing against the current, if they didn¡¯t advance, then they would regress and they might sink at any time. In the end, those who could go against the current and ascend to the peak of cultivation were only very few, might even be just one or two among millions. If one didn¡¯t have that ability, then the best method was to attach oneself to a future expert who could set foot on the pinnacle of the cultivation and follow his footsteps while borrowing his power to sail against the current. Even like that, one might not be able to set foot on the pinnacle of the cultivation in the end, but one would still be successful and famous, making countless people admire. In Rain Demon¡¯s heart, Ye Chaun was that future expert, although his current cultivation was not high, his potential that far surpassed ordinary people had already begun to unfold. ¡°Rain Demon, rise, this merit law is not a big deal, when you break through to Sage realm, I will pass you several even more powerful merit laws.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently said, then stopped talking. He began to cultivate to restore his strength. Outside the door, Rain Demon was thoroughly shocked. Sage realm? What kind of merit laws were cultivated after breaking through to the Sage realm? Where did Ye Chuan obtain such merit laws, who exactly was he? Rain Demon was greatly shocked. He had no doubts about Ye Chuan¡¯s words, merely he was incomparably excited and shocked. Originally, he thought that he might only be able to break through to Half Sage realm in his life and he was content just being able to become a Half Sage assassin. Now, under the help of Ye Chuan, Half Sage realm was within his reach, even Sage realm was not just a dream, how could he not be socked and excited? Chapter 636: Lie Low In the first half of the night, the storm of strong killing intent filled Heavenly Yao Sect, but at the latter half of the night, the storm calm down. The night quickly passed. After dawn, the competition continued at Heavenly Yao Square. Nan Tiandu who had used the pseudonym of Nan Batian continued to take part in the matches, winning five matches just in the morning. His opponents who were from small sects, although they lost, they were not seriously injured. But the three opponents from Heavenly Yao Sect, however, were different. They were all violently beaten to death, not a single one escaped a miserable death. Last night, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Black and White Elders had rushed to Guest Receiving Peak, wanting to capture Bellowing Waves Sect¡¯s Big Disciple with dense killing intent, saying he had killed Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Hall Master Xiahou Qing. This news had already spread all over. Thus, in the eyes of onlookers, Nan Tiandu was just clearly venting his anger on the stage. As long as his opponent was from Heavenly Yao Sect, he would fight like his life depend on it. Upon seeing Nan Tiandu was so fierce, many guest sects cheered for him, the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, however, looked unsightly. Some people refused to accept this and restrained their cultivation to enter the match, wanting to behead Nan Tiandu, the result, all died under Nan Tiandu¡¯s hands. On the platform, Elder Tianqing¡¯s complexion looked ghastly pale. With great difficulty, he notified a temporary break and left. In this Grand Sacrifice Competition, he had meticulously planned to make a show of his strength, but not only he wasn¡¯t in the limelight, he was also ferociously suppressed by others, why was he so unlucky? Elder Tianqing who held power in his hands truly couldn¡¯t sit still on his seat. After returning to Tianqing Peak, he sent someone to call Son of Heaven Jin Hong over and gave the latter some treasures. Now, all his hopes were pinned on Son of Heaven Jin Hong, this sect¡¯s Big Disciple. If even the latter was unable to defeat Nan Tiandu, then this well-planned Grand Sacrifice Competition would completely become a big joke. Even the reformation he was personally handling would encounter serious setbacks, in addition, even his status might be shaken. For millions of years, Heavenly Yao Sect always had just Heavenly Maiden, no Big Disciple or something else. This was the ancestral system passed down by the founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress. With the sudden removal of this ancestral system, abolishing Heavenly Maiden position, in addition, establishing Big Disciple position, this in itself had already encountered the doubts and resistance of many experts. There were also many experts who had yet to express their position, but inwardly opposed this reform. The position of Heaven Maiden had been going on for a long time, even after disposing of Hong Zixia, another Heavenly Maiden could be appointed. Directly reforming that position to Big Disciple position, many were unable to accept. This time, in Grand Sacrifice Competition, if Son of Heaven Jin Hong defeats experts of all sects and become the final winner, then that would convince the public, shutting up those doubtful and conflicting experts of the sect; but, if he lost under the hands of Nan Tiandu, then that would be troublesome! Elder Tianqing who could summon rain and wind in former days began to become anxious. The sudden appearance of Nan Tiandu disrupted all his plans and arrangements. In order to ensure guarantee, he had to go all-out and conspire with Son of Heaven Jin Hong and others in the palace. Afternoon, after the break of two hours, people began to gather to Heavenly Yao Square and the competition restarted again. As expected, Nan Tiandu continued to remain standing. After winning nine matches in a row, he finally left to prepare for the decisive battle tomorrow. But, before leaving the stage, he coldly looked towards the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect and showed them a middle finger, directly provoking these disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who considered themselves the best in the world in former days. On Heavenly Yao Square, a big commotion occurred for a moment. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples were startled and also angry. All of them had an unsightly face, but after witnessing the might of Nan Tiandu, no one dared to step forward. Jin Hong, the Big Disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect, was absent throughout the day. No one knew where he had gone, letting Nan Tiandu become arrogant and insolent on the stage. Unlike the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, the guests of various sects had different expressions. Some were exclaiming in admiration, some were angry, and some were even laughing happily. But, no matter the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect or other guests, one matter was engraved in their mind, which was the arrogance of Nan Tiandu. In the last ages, there were many people who were discontent with Heavenly Yao Sect. Among them, there was no lack of people with a powerful cultivation base, but who would dare to be so arrogant in front of Heavenly Yao Sect? In addition, this was not somewhere else, it was within the territory of Heavenly Yao Sect. With such arrogance, Nan Tiandu had thoroughly provoked Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s senior experts, did he not fear those senior experts personally making a move? The arrogance of Nan Tiandu shocked, amazed and also worried people. Will Heavenly Yao Sect that was already accustomed to being arrogant endure this humiliation? What kind of expert will Heavenly Yao Sect dispatch for the final match tomorrow? Tomorrow was the final day for this Grand Sacrifice Competition. Only four people had reached the final matches. After the battles, the final winner would be decided. People were excited and they gathered together to discuss in succession. In this Grand Sacrifice Competition, quite a few geniuses beyond the expectation of everyone had appeared, making this competition very exciting. The decisive matches tomorrow would be even more exciting, increasing the appetite of everyone. On the Heavenly Yao Square, the guests of all sects had gathered, only Bellowing Waves Sect was an exception. Other than Nan Tiandu who participate in the competition, just Old Demon of Mount Yin would appear occasionally in front of others, as for everyone else, they couldn¡¯t be seen. Rain Demon had been sitting cross-legged outside Ye Chuan¡¯s room as a dharma protector. He was taking advantage of this occasion to comprehend Peerless Style Technique Ye Chuan had transmitted. Plague Archfiend Abasi and Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo were somewhat unable to endure and wanted to go to Heavenly Yao Square to watch the competition, but without the permission of Ye Chuan, they didn¡¯t dare to act arbitrarily. They honestly stayed in their room and didn¡¯t go to watch the competition, just listening to the bursts of cheers and exclamations. As for Ye Chuan, he had been sitting cross-legged in the room since last night. He hadn¡¯t moved at all, in addition, he also hadn¡¯t sent out his spirit this time. He was quietly cultivating, waiting for the last chance to come. After already taking away the doves of Dove Peak, he already had the method to breach Heavenly Yao Hall¡¯s ancient sword formation. Now, all the preparations of Ye Chuan were already completed, he just needed to wait for a chance to make a move. Now, he was confident in being able to seize Heaven Concealing Umbrella sealed in Heavenly Yao Hall, as for breaking into Heavenly Yao Cave and save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he was not that confident. Elder Tianqing had the authority over Heavenly Yao Sect, but for Ye Chuan, this fellow was not the biggest obstruction. What worried him the most was White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, the real overlord of Heavenly Yao Sect, who had never appeared till now. She was also the real obstruction in the operation of saving Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. The enemy that couldn¡¯t be seen was the most dangerous. In the unlikely event if White Haired Heavenly Empress suddenly appeared at the critical moment of saving Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, then that would be troublesome. It was very likely that the entire army might be wiped out. On the contrary, it was best to lure out a tiger from the forest by making a big commotion, then think of a way to stall her and use that time to save a person! The timing was very important, whoever couldn¡¯t stay calm and composed would be the one that loses! Ye Chuan calmed down and quietly waited. Chapter 637: Ancient Sword Sec t On the eve of the decisive battle, the undercurrent of Heavenly Yao Sect surged. Tonight, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s guard was even stricter. Guards with torches could be seen moving back and forth everywhere. Small Yao Lake, Dove Peak and Guest Receiving Peak turned into the focused areas, especially Guest Receiving Peak, almost 10,000 guards were strictly keeping close watch over the guests of various sects. The courtyard Ye Chuan¡¯s party was staying was under even heavier surveillance. Even a mosquito couldn¡¯t fly out without anybody knowing. Ye Chuan¡¯s extremely weak body had dispelled the suspicion of Black and White Elders and made them return in a huff. But, it was unknown whether Elder Tianqing had orders or Son of Heaven Jin Hong had incited, the guards didn¡¯t relax their vigilance and strengthened the surveillance of Bellowing Waves Sect. The deployment of Heavenly Yao Sect naturally wasn¡¯t hidden from Ye Chuan, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, but the wing where they were staying was very quiet. All doors were closed, turning a blind eye to those guards outside. The guards outside also didn¡¯t make any move, they just surrounded the courtyard without attacking. Although they had seer advantage in numbers, without real evidence, they also didn¡¯t dare to make a move on Bellowing Waves Sect. Everyone was quietly waiting for the decisive battle to come. After dawn, the grand competition was held as scheduled. Son of Heaven Jin Hong who had disappeared without a trace for an entire day yesterday was the first person to jump onto the stage. His opponent was a youth wearing black heavy armor. He was the Big Disciple of Ancient Sword Sect. After many years, the current Wilderness World was much different from the Wilderness World Ye Chuan used to know in the past. The Sage realm experts who once contended against each other seemed to have disappeared overnight. Perhaps, they had all been killed by a certain super force, or perhaps, they reached the end of their lifespan at the same time and passed away, or perhaps, they discovered an ancient passage leading to the Outer World, there were only a very few living Sage realm experts in the world now. Meanwhile, all kinds of sects, however, sprang out and vie for remaining small numbers of spiritual mountains, crystal stone mines and so on resources in the Wilderness World. Once a sect collapsed, two-three sects would spring out the next day. There were countless large and small sects in Wilderness World now. Compared to millions of years ago, the cultivators¡¯ cultivation was much worse, but their number was much higher. Among countless cultivating sects, Heavenly Yao Sect with countless experts was known as the foremost sect. It was the cultivation giant considered as one of the very best in Daqin Dynasty and even the entire Wilderness World. However, this really didn¡¯t mean that Heavenly Yao Sect could control Wilderness World and act willfully. Below Heavenly Yao Sect, there were many pursuers, if Heavenly Yao Sect became a bit careless, then another sect might overtake it. Among those sects includes Ancient Sword Sect, the sect this heavy armored youth, Gu Han, belonged to. Like Heavenly Yao Sect, Ancient Sword Sect had a long inheritance. Many famous great experts had appeared from Ancient Sword Sect in history. It had a glorious history. Even after experiencing hardships, unlike Cloud Mist Sect that had declined greatly, it maintained stability for a long time, always maintaining the status of a large sect. Although its overall strength was a little worse than Heavenly Yao Sect, it was also not bad. The Big Disciple of this generation, Gu Han, had broken through to Peak Daoist Master realm quite early, standing out from his fellows. In this grand competition, he had beat his opponents one by one throughout the journey. His cultivation and combat power was not necessarily below Son of Heaven Jin Hong. He was a formidable opponent for the latter. Jin Hong had no change in his expression. He coldly stared at Gu Han standing opposite to him. The latter similarly observed him carefully. After going onto the stage, the two didn¡¯t immediately make a move, they just observed each other. If they wanted to reach the next match, i.e. the final match, then they must defeat the opponent in front of them! Regardless of Jin Hong or Gu Han, this battle was extremely important and couldn¡¯t be lost. If they lose, then all their previous efforts would be wasted. Ancient Sword Sect couldn¡¯t afford to lose this match. Losing implied that they had to continue to succumb to Heavenly Yao Sect and couldn¡¯t challenge Heavenly Yao Sect for the overlord position. For Heavenly Yao Sect too, they even more couldn¡¯t afford to lose. Originally, according to the past rules, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia should be representing Heavenly Yao Sect in this match. Now, since Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was punished to be suppressed below Heavenly Yao Peak, in addition, the ancestral system was reformed to have a Big Disciple, Son of Heaven Jin Hong represented Heavenly Yao Sect. If Jin Hong lost, then it would not be as simple as Heavenly Yao Sect losing a face, it would usher internal and external problems for sure. In the sect, the voice of opposition will surely emerge immediately, demanding the restoration of the ancestral system of Heavenly Maiden, removing the newly created Big Disciple position. If this matter was not handled well, then it might turn into internal strife; outside the sect, all major sects would also participate to muddle the water. ¡°You are not my opponent, step down!¡± After a careful observation for a while, Jin Hong coldly said with an indifferent expression. ¡°No, it¡¯s you who is not my opponent, make a move!¡± Ancient Sword Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Gu Han refuted and took the initiative to make a move. He used a technique to brandish his cyan-colored flying sword. In the next moment, void breaking sound resounded as a wisp of cyan light whistled towards Jin Hong, directly stabbing towards the latter¡¯s glabella. Using a flying sword to kill an opponent was nothing special. As long as one broke through to the Daoist Master realm, or even a powerful Xiushi realm cultivator could use a flying sword, but Ancient Sword Sect¡¯s sword technique was particularly fierce. The onlookers below the stage, when they heard Gu Han¡¯s flying sword whistling, that three inches long cyan-colored flying sword was already less than half an inch away from the glabella of Jin Hong. It was lightning fast. Not to mention the amazing speed, the power was also terrifying. The air itself distorted when it passed and this small flying sword seemed to be as heavy as a big mountain. If it stabbed, not to mention a skull, it could even pierce a hole through a mountain peak! ¡°What a good Ancient Sword Pierces the Heart move!¡± ¡°So powerful, Ancient Sword Sect¡¯s Big Disciple made the move, he really is extraordinary!¡± Below the stage, sharp-eyed people exclaimed, naturally, there were even more who couldn¡¯t see clearly. This sword move of Gu Han was too fast, even later stage Daoist Master realm experts standing below the stage might not necessarily see it clearly. The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who were cheering loudly before the match quickly became quiet. All of them were nervous. On the platform, even Elder Tianqing looked somewhat solemn. In this Grand Sacrifice Competition, many powerful younger generation experts had emerged. Not to mention Nan Batian, this disciple of Ancient Sword Sect was also extraordinary. In order to help Jin Hong win the final match and get rid of Nan Batian, Elder Tianqing had spent a great price, but if Jin Hong was unable to pass the challenge in front of him, then wouldn¡¯t all his previous efforts be wasted? Upon seeing Elder Tianqing¡¯s complexion turning green, the trusted aides around him lowered their head, not daring to even breathe loudly. The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect also no longer cheered. Meanwhile, the disciples of other sects, however, cheered loudly. Old Demon of Mount Yin who was mixed in the crowd also laughed and cheered. If Ancient Sword Sect won, then he and Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t have any benefit, but, seeing Heavenly Yao Sect being trampled to the ground, wasn¡¯t that also a kind of great pleasure?¡± Chapter 638: Like the Sun at Noon Under the intense gaze of onlookers, just the moment before the cyan-colored flying sword was about to pierce through his glabella, Son of Heaven Jin Hong finally moved. He quickly retreated backward, and his left hand flashed with black light as a shield that was half as tall as him, appeared. Ding, the ferocious cyan-colored flying sword was sent flying. The complexion of Gu Han, the Big Disciple of Ancient Sword Sect, changed. He grabbed his flying sword and took a few steps back. After pulling some distance, he carefully observed. The blade tip of his cyan-colored flying sword actually had a very small nick. As for the black colored heavy shield in Jin Hong¡¯s hand, he couldn¡¯t see even the slightest damage, not even a scratch. The noisy Heavenly Yao Square suddenly quieted down. Some sharp-eyed fellows saw the nick on the flying sword of Gu Han and were greatly shocked. In the Wilderness World, a flying sword was the most common treasure, but there were not many truly powerful flying swords. Most of the flying swords were ordinary items, nothing more. The flying sword in Gu Han¡¯s hand, however, was not simple, it was a great killing artifact with a long inheritance of Ancient Sword Sect. According to the legend, a very long time ago, a Sage realm expert of Ancient Sword Sect had personally refined it. It could cut through anything that blocked its way. In addition, when its speed was pushed through the limit, the opponent couldn¡¯t clearly see it and could only vaguely see a hint of cyan light, therefore, it was called Cyan Line. This Grand Sacrifice Competition of Heavenly Yao Sect was very important. In order to make Gu Han stand out from the crowd, Ancient Sword Sect had especially bestowed this great killing artifact to him. In this competition, the latter had killed over a dozen experts relying on this weapon. But, in this match, with Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Son of Heaven Jin Hong as his opponent, it was impossible to easily win this match. Gu Han was already prepared for this, but he had never imagined that, in a single round, his treasure, Green Line, would suffer damage. What a good Son of Heaven!¡± That black-colored heavy shield in his hands, what kind of treasure was it? Below the stage, people were greatly shocked, let alone Gu Han on the stage. The experts of Ancient Sword Sect below the stage immediately felt this situation was not good. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, kill him!¡± ¡°Although Wilderness World is big and there are countless elites under heaven, only our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Son of Heaven is peerless!¡± The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who were tense just a moment ago loudly cheered and their morale rose. Originally, when they saw Gu Han¡¯s extraordinary move, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples were sweating for Jin Hong. They closed their mouths and were concerned. Now, upon seeing Jin Hong instantly turning the tide, all of them were excited. For a moment, the entire Heavenly Yao Square was filled with loud cheers. Basically, the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who used to be arrogant got even more arrogant. On the platform, Elder Tianqing¡¯s complexion was slightly relaxed. Looking at the heavy shield in Jin Hong¡¯s hands, he caressed his beard while nodding his head. The cany-colored flying sword in the hands of Gu Han was extraordinary, but the black heavy shield in Jin Hong¡¯s hands was also not simple. On the eve of the final match, Elder Tianqing had especially given this peerless treasure to Jin Hong. According to the legend, in the history of the sect, there were a total of nine Half Sage realm experts who choose this heavy shield, the defensive treasure. All of them used their energy to nurture it before their death, therefore, this black colored heavy shield was also known as Nine Sages Battle Shield. It could block the attack of any treasure. Unless a Sage realm expert personally made the move, no one else could break through the defense of this treasure. In Heavenly Yao Sect with countless treasures, this Nine Sages Battle Shield was also famous. Although it was not on the level of Heaven Burning Furnace which claimed to suppress the sect¡¯s fate, it was one of the few top-grade peerless treasures within the sect. Originally, Elder Tianqing used it as his personal defense treasure. In order to obtain this treasure, he had paid a great prince and almost died under the sword of a fellow sect expert. Upon seeing the ferociousness of Nan Batian, he had to endure and bestow this treasure to Jin Hong to help him win! ¡°I said that you are not my opponent, if you don¡¯t want to die, then step down, don¡¯t waste my time here!¡± Jin Hong looked at Gu Han who was standing ten meters away and coldly said. After discovering there was no damage to Nine Sages Battle Shield in his hand, he was sure that he had already won this match! Originally, according to his plan with Elder Tianqing, this Nine Sages Battle Shield was the secret weapon to deal with Nan Batian. This Gu Han was not the real opponent in this competition. But, under the threat of this Gu Han¡¯s flying sword, he was forced to take out this treasure in advance. This made Jin Hong very unhappy. His killing intent was dense, he couldn¡¯t wait to crush Gu Han to death with this heavy shield. But, thinking about the upcoming decisive match, and in order to save strength to fight against Nan Batian, he had to endure. ¡°Kill!¡± The disciple of Ancient Sword Sect, Gu Han, shouted loudly and rushed forward. Just after a single round, he already understood that he had lost, not to Jin Hong, but to a peerless treasure, Nine Sages Battle Shield. His flying sword couldn¡¯t penetrate the defense, and all his attacks were useless, how could he fight this battle? Gu Han knew this truth, but a warrior could be killed but not humiliated. The tone and expression of Jin Hong deeply insulted him. His blood and qi surged as he gritted his teeth and rushed forward. Even if he lost, he would also make his opponent pay dearly. He wouldn¡¯t let Jin Hong humiliate him like this! A dazzling sword light left a deep scar on the stage. Ding, ding, ding, Gu Han launched a series of ferocious attacks. His small flying sword flew all around, continuously attacking Jin Hong¡¯s glabella, throat, heart and other vital parts. In addition, his speed was getting faster and faster. In the end, the people standing below could only see a wisp of cyan light. Gu Han had reached this stage of the Grand Sacrifice Competition not only because of this cyan-colored flying sword in his hands, but also because of cultivating Ancient Sword Sect¡¯s sword techniques to the perfection. With a flying sword in his hands, similar realm experts might not necessarily be able to approach him. His combat power was no small matter, causing people to repeatedly exclaim in admiration. However, even though his attacks were fierce, in the end, they were useless, all his attacks were stopped by Nine Sages Battle Shield in Jin Hong¡¯s hands. Finally, the cyan-colored flying sword fell to the ground. The tip was completely broken. Jin Hong stepped it, then ferociously smashed Gu Han with his heavy Nine Sages Battle Shield, directly sending the other party sent flying out of the stage while vomiting blood. And after falling to the ground, he didn¡¯t move at all, even if he didn¡¯t die, he would only have a breath left. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother is mighty!¡± ¡°With Son of Heaven here, we don¡¯t need Heavenly Maiden!¡± Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples were absent-minded for a moment and then cheered loudly. Someone took advantage of the moment to praise the reformation of Heavenly Yao Sect, naturally, was the trusted subordinate of Elder Tianqing. Similarly, the complexion of guests below the stage greatly changed and they took a deep breath in succession. In the midst of the cheers, Jin Hong held the heavy shield high and roared loudly, displaying his overflowing fighting spirit. His powerful cultivation base and combat power were displayed to all. For a moment, his momentum was threatening like the sun at high noon, making the disciples of other large sects look dull in contrast. Now, he had already reached the final match, on the contrary, Nan Tiandu who had been shocking everyone in the past few days might not necessarily reach the final match. If he wanted to reach the final match, then he still had to defeat a powerful opponent! Chapter 639: Teach You How to Behave The second semi-final match was between Bellowing Waves Sect and Martial God Sect. There was a half an hour interval between the two semi-finals. There was still a short time left before the start of the next match, but people were unwilling to leave and waited excitedly for the second semi-final match. What kind of sect was Bellowing Waves Sect, no one knew, but the arrogance and might of Nan Batian had long been known to everyone. He absolutely was one of the best experts in this Grand Sacrifice Competition. The matter of Marital God Sect, however, was different. In the Wilderness World, it was a large sect with a long inheritance like Ancient Sword Sect. The one who participated in this competition was Marital God Sect¡¯s Big Disciple. He had defeated all of his previous opponents easily in this competition. The victor between Heavenly Yao Sect and Ancient Sword Sect was already decided. But, what about the match between Bellowing Waves Sect and Martial God Sect? Who would win and reach the final to fight a decisive battle against Heavenly Yao sect? People excitedly discussed with each other, waiting for the next match. As the start of the match was getting closer and closer, more and more people were rushing over to Heavenly Yao Square. Son of Heaven Jin Hong also hadn¡¯t left far, he was resting just below the platform. He wanted to witness the match between Bellowing Waves Sect and Martial God Sect. The disciples of Martial God Sect had always been known for their bravery. Each and every one of them had amazing strength, especially the Big Disciple of this generation, Yang Wenli. According to the rumor, he was an orphan, was abandoned by his family in the wild because he was too ugly and was raised by a female wolf. Therefore, people called him Wolf¡¯s child. His entire body was covered with thick black fur and he innately had extraordinary strength. He was accepted as the personal disciple by Martial God Sect¡¯s Sect Master. He had already reached Peak Daoist Master realm at young age and his combat power was astonishing. Such an opponent, even Jin Hong himself wasn¡¯t sure whether he could defeat him. But, Nan Tiandu who had come from the Overseas World made him have even more scruple. In the next battle, if Nan Tiandu lost, then that would be the best; even if he won, he feared that it would not be an easy win. Like that, he would be able to see the flaw of the latter. The match had not yet begun, but it had already affected the heart of people. The atmosphere of Heavenly Yao Square was getting more and more enthusiastic. Among the large group of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples around Jin Hong, someone quickly gave him a pill to help eliminate his fatigue and regain his strength. Not to mention the disciples were flattering him, the guests of various sects also came over to congratulate him in advance. The final match would not start until noon and not even his opponent was decided yet, but some people were already congratulating him for winning this Grand Sacrifice Competition. Although Jin Hong knew that these people were flattering him, under the compliment of them, he couldn¡¯t help feeling somewhat smug. This Grand Sacrifice Competition was extremely important for Elder Tianqing, but it was also the same for him, he absolutely couldn¡¯t lose. Elder Tianqing needed the victory to prove that his reformation was successful. And he needed to win to become known throughout the world, proving his strength. If he failed, then he would forever live under the shadow of Heavenly Maiden while suffering slanders of people. After defeating the opponents of various sects, one by one, he would be the fitting and proper Big Disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect, therefore, the congratulation of the people made Jin Hong especially happy. Naturally, the trump cards unexpectedly bestowed to him by Elder Tianqing was the best factor for his good mood. Elder Tianqing was determined to win this Grand Sacrifice Competition, thus, he had spent a lot on Jin Hong. Nine Sages Battle Shield was only one of them. With trump cards bestowed to him by Elder Tianqing, Jin Hong was confident. Although Nan Batian made him feel a strong threat, he was confident in becoming the final victor. No matter who won in the next match, no one was his opponent. Half an hour quickly passed. A bell rang, announcing the start of the next match. A huge over two meters tall, burly fellow took the initiative to jump onto the stage. His appearance was strange and his entire body was covered with black fur. His upper body was bare, and his tall figure and well-developed muscles made people feel the pressure. There was a big iron rod in his hand. When he placed this big iron rod on the ground, the entire ground shook. It was at least over ten thousand jin. ¡°Look, he is Martial God Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, Yang Wanli!¡± ¡°He looks really ugly, absolutely is a barbarian!¡± Below the stage, a commotion quickly occurred. After seeing the appearance of Yang Wanli, lots of people were greatly surprised. Looking from the distance, rather than saying Yang Wanli was a barbarian, it would be better to call him a chimpanzee. If he was encountered in the wilderness, then he would be treated as a yao beast for sure. Just the big iron rod in his hand was over ten thousand jin heavy, coupled with such a fierce gorilla, who was his opponent? Can this Overseas World¡¯s cultivator Nan Batian who considered himself the best in the world defeat this opponent? Looking at the big iron rod in the hands of Yang Wanli, people commented in succession and subconsciously squeezed forward, becoming even more eager to watch this match between Bellowing Waves Sect and Martial God Sect. They expected this match to be a fierce and wonderful battle. When the match was starting, Jin Hong who had been sitting cross-legged also couldn¡¯t sit still and stand up. Upon clearly seeing the appearance of Yang Wanli and sensing the energy fluctuation of the latter, his complexion slightly changed. Without using the trump cards bestowed to him by Elder Tianqing, if he only relied on his own powers, then was he confident in defeating this gorilla? He was not even fifty percent certain. Martial God¡¯s Big Disciple Yang Wanli heated the atmosphere of Heavenly Yao Square even more, but, even after waiting for a while, there was no sign of Nan Batian. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is that arrogant disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect badly scared before the match? Does he not dare to come?¡± ¡°Yes, calling himself Nan Batian but still cowering before the match?¡± The people were puzzled and many people quickly began to curse. For a long time, they were waiting for this brilliant battle, didn¡¯t many people came from afar just to witness brilliant battles? If Nan Batian truly cowered before this match, then it was nothing strange for them to get angry. ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± Jin Hong couldn¡¯t wait anymore. He asked the person next to him with a gloomy face. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, already sent¡­, sent someone to check, we will know in a while.¡± A subordinate replied while sweating profusely. ¡°In a while? Go and check personally, at once!¡± Jin Hong angrily roared. The unusualness of Nan Batian vaguely made him feel uneasy. Thinking about Ye Chuan behind Nan Batian, he felt even more uneasiness and his heart was disturbed. After clearly seeing the weak appearance of Ye Chuan, Black and White Elders no longer said anything, but he always felt that something was wrong. He vaguely felt that Nan Batian¡¯s that Big Senior Apprentice Brother was not simple. ¡°Yes!¡± The subordinate bowed to accept the orders, and just when he was about to turn away, he was stunned. In the distance, two burly fellows were carrying a sedan and leisurely walking over. Nan Batian was sitting on that sedan. In front of that sedan, there was a person holding a banner with ¡®Invincible Everywhere Under Heaven¡¯ written on it, and behind the sedan, there was another person holding a banner with ¡®Teach Heavenly Son How to Behave¡¯ written on it. ¡°Came, this fellow, no, this uncle finally is here!¡± ¡°Invincible all under heaven, teach Heavenly Son how to behave, good, what a big tone!¡± The people on Heavenly Yao Square were in an uproar. The complexion of Son of Heaven Jin Hong suddenly became blackish-red like a pig¡¯s liver. No matter how one sees it, the words written on those banners were directed towards him. Within Heavenly Yao Sect, Nan Batian was openly provoking him, saying he would teach him how to behave, absolutely was intolerable! Nan Batian! Jin Hong was angry and overwhelmed by his impulse. He couldn¡¯t wait to kill and tear apart this incomparably arrogant Nan Batian! Chapter 640: The Difference between an Expert and a Yao Beas t Looking at Nan Batian sitting on the sedan, Son of Heaven Jin Hong was so angry that he gritted his teeth. But, he forcibly suppressed his impulse to jump out. On the stage, he could openly kill Nan Batian with justification, but it won¡¯t do now. If he rushed out now, then not to mention whether he could instantly kill Nan Batian or not, even he succeeded, that would be a serious violation of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s law and he would be punished severely. With various sects present here, even if Elder Tianqing favored him, he also wouldn¡¯t be able to protect him. The sedan approached closer and closer, but Nan Batian had no intention to go down. He continued to lazily lie on the sedan, letting those two burly fellows carry him forward. ¡°Tsk tsk, what a big arrogance!¡± ¡°Without being arrogant to the death, he cannot enjoy to the full, this fellow is unique, it shouldn¡¯t be easy to nurture this kind of Big Disciple for that Bellowing Waves Sect.¡± ¡°No, I heard Nan Batian is still not the strongest younger generation disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect, someone else is the Big Disciple.¡± ¡°Is that so? Then, wouldn¡¯t he be even more powerful?¡± Below the stage, people commented in succession and stepped aside to make way. They truly admired Nan Batian who dared to lie on the sedan in front of so many experts in the world. They weren¡¯t admiring his cultivation, rather his arrogance. One could say that he was an incomparable fool, one could even say that he was a frog in a well, but being so arrogant in front of so many people, such madness, they had to admire him. Invincible everywhere under heaven, who else dares to claim this? Teaching Heavenly Son how to behave, these words were even more arrogant. If this didn¡¯t mean that the imperial throne of this world¡¯s dynasty didn¡¯t enter his eyes, then suddenly waving such a flag within Heavenly Yao Sect, wasn¡¯t that clearly humiliating the first Big Disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect after the reformation, Son of Heaven Jin Hong? Nan Batian¡¯s entrance created a big sensation, and more people rushed over from all directions. After hearing the commotion here, the disciples and guards of Heavenly Yao Sect who originally were guarding various peaks couldn¡¯t control themselves and quietly sneaked over to watch the excitement in succession. They wanted to witness who was so arrogant and watch the brilliant next match. With regarding Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples and guards neglecting their duties, the leaders of various levels also noticed but they couldn¡¯t prevent it and also had no intention to stop them. Even many leaders themselves couldn¡¯t help strolling towards Heavenly Yao Square. The final decisive match had yet to begin, it was just a semifinal, but there was already a big sensation. Whoosh! A big figure soared from the sedan, bringing along a fierce wind. When the sedan reached the edge of the stage, Nan Batian who had been lazily lying on the sedan jumped onto the stage and looking around Heavenly Yao Square, he laughed heartily, ¡°Hahaha, sorry, I was late. Are you Martial God¡¯s Big Disciple? I¡¯ve troubled you to wait for a long time!¡± He was deliberately late for this match, moreover, came to the stage in such an extremely arrogant manner because he wanted to create a greater sensation. According to Ye Chuan¡¯s plan, victory or defeat was not important, creating an unprecedented commotion to lure the out super experts of Heavenly Yao Sect who were guarding the forbidden areas and even White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi was more important. Now, White Haired Heavenly Empress had not appeared yet, but there were many people in Heavenly Yao Square. Many disciples and guards who originally were supposed to be on guard duty had sneaked over. The battle had yet to start but the commotion was already so big, Nan Tiandu was greatly satisfied with this. This was just the semifinal, the final match would be even more sensational! ¡°Yes, I am Martial God Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, Yang Wanli, I heard you are very crazy, come, let me see what kind of abilities do your Overseas World¡¯s sects have!¡± Like a gorilla, Yang Wanli slammed the big iron rod in his hand, shaking the ground. This iron rod was very heavy. ¡°Is that big iron rod of yours very heavy?¡± Nan Tiandu asked. He didn¡¯t immediately make a move, rather looked at the big iron rod in Yang Wanli¡¯s hands as if he was frightened by its extreme weight. ¡°It¡¯s not very heavy, it¡¯s just 180,000 jin, nothing more.¡± The gorilla Yang Wanli complacently laughed and said, ¡°What? Are you afraid? Don¡¯t worry, a single smash will just break your bone at the most, nothing more. It will not crush you to death. It¡¯s very rare to encounter such a crazy opponent, how can I be willing to crush you to death in one shot? I will at least use ten shots, letting you fully taste the flavor of our Martial God Sect¡¯s Invincible Divine Rod before dying. Among those two banners of yours, I like one of them, but I don¡¯t like the other one. You haven¡¯t even tasted the flavor of my Invincible Divine Rod, how can you call yourself invincible everywhere under the heaven, hahahaha¡­¡± Nan Batian was crazy, but Yang Wanli was also a madman. Upon seeing Nan Batian had encountered a strong enemy, Jin Hong who was watching the match from the audience was happy, but upon hearing their words, his complexion turned unsightly. The front half was not very good, but he liked the latter half, what does this gorilla Yang Wanli meant, does that mean he also wanted to teach him how to behave? Below the stage, people covered their mouths and laughed up their sleeves, subconsciously looking at Jin Hong. The latter¡¯s complexion became even more unsightly. On the platform, the complexion of Elder Tianqing was also very unsightly. Son of Heaven Jin Hong, this Big Disciple was his card, was the first Big Disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect after the reformation. Humiliating Jin Hong was like slapping his face hard. Nan Batian came from uncivilized Overseas World, he didn¡¯t know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth, but what about Martial God Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, did he want to shed all pretense of cordiality with Heavenly Yao Sect? Elder Tianqing was furious as killing intent brew in his heart. He then scanned through the crowd, wanting to look for senior experts of Martial God Sect. Unfortunately, Heavenly Yao Square was very crowded, he couldn¡¯t find the people of Martial God Sect in this crowd. ¡°Tsk tsk tsk, 180,000 jin, so frightening.¡± Nan Tiandu shook his head with a look of fear, then in the next moment, no one saw what he did, Yang Wanli¡¯s big iron rod was already in his hands. ¡°Invincible Divine Rod, return it to me, you¡­¡± The gorilla Yang Wanli was greatly surprised. Below the stage, the people suddenly quieted down and their complexion changed. Even Daoist Master realm experts who were standing less than ten meters away from the stage just saw a blur and the heavy big iron rod was already in Nan Tiandu¡¯s hand. They couldn¡¯t clearly see what had happened. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, I will return it to you, I am just looking, nothing more.¡± Nan Tiandu laughed and truly returned the iron rod, but he didn¡¯t toss it whole to Yang Wanli, rather like a cornstalk, he broke it and tossed it piece by piece. Below the stage, people were shocked. A big iron rod that weighted over 100,000 jin was broken with bare hands just like this? Heavenly Yao Square filled with countless people suddenly became silent. The hubbub of voices just now was completely gone, even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard now. The other disciples and guards of Heavenly Yao Sect also couldn¡¯t help rushing over in succession to see what was going on. Even many old fellows who would not easily show up in former days also were unable to bear and looked over from the distance. Chapter 641: Too Ferocious Nan Tiandu who had come late greatly shocked everyone. That was not an ordinary iron club, rather a treasure, a great killing weapon that weighted over 100,000 jin. Breaking it so easily like that, how many people could do that in this world? Too ferocious! Nan Tiandu¡¯s means made people¡¯s scalp tingle. Yang Wanli, the Big Disciple of Martial God Sect, was known as Wolf¡¯s child and born with extraordinary strength, but this moment standing in front of Nan Tiandu, he also couldn¡¯t help but tremble. Over the years, he had crushed many opponents and he also had taught enough people a lesson, but he had never encountered a ferocious person like Nan Tiandu. Breaking such a heavy and solid iron club with a bare hand, was he a human? What if he grabbed him? This match attracted a lot of attention. Below the stage, Ouyang Huo also came, waiting to see how Nan Tiandu would die in this match. But, even before the match, he was greatly shocked, fortunately, he escaped with life at that time. Since Nan Tiandue had cut off his legs, he hated the latter to his bone marrow before, now, he, however, realized that Nan Tiandu was already merciful. If Nan Tiandu had used his hands, then wouldn¡¯t he be snapped into two? Ouyang Huo who claimed to be Bone Crushing Crazy Demon trembled. In the past, he was crazy enough within Heavenly Yao Sect and was even crazier outside Heavenly Yao Sect. Now, he realized that he was just a frog at the bottom of the well before. This Nan Tiandu who had come from the Overseas World was the real Bone Crushing Crazy Demon. Being able to escape alive losing just legs, he could already be considered fortunate. ¡°Too terrifying, too ferocious, no wonder he claimed to be matchless in Overseas World!¡± ¡°He is matchless under heaven, he is so ferocious, which sect¡¯s younger generation can be his opponent?¡± Below the stage, people make all sorts of comments, reacting after the shock. After personally witnessing the might of Nan Tiandu, the entire Heavenly Yao Square was filled with commotion. Many Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts who originally were peeping from the distance also couldn¡¯t help flying over, wanting to take a closer look at what exactly had happened. The wanted to personally see what kind of character Nan Tiandu was. ¡°This brother, I am sorry, I accidentally broke your iron club. Here, you can also try to break my sword so that it will be fair. I, Nan Batian has no opponent under heaven, but I never bully other people.¡± Nan Tiandu said as he pulled forward his Cyan Dragon Moon Blade to Yang Wanli. Looking at the terrifying blade, the complexion of onlookers below the stage changed. On the stage, Yang Wanli¡¯s complexion also changed and subconsciously took a step back. That move of Nan Tiandu breaking his iron club was honestly too frightening. He was already so frightened that a shadow was left behind in his heart. Moreover, without that big killing weapon, how could he block this terrifying blade? If Nan Tiandu ferociously chopped down, then with Nan Tiandu¡¯s ferocious means, wouldn¡¯t Nan Tiandu chop him into two halves? Even before the start of the match, Martial God Sect¡¯s disciple, Yang Wanli, lost the courage to fight. ¡°Wanli, come down, you have already lost.¡± An aged voice came from the crowd. The senior expert of Martial God Sect mixed in the crowd directly made Yang Wanli step down. He had no other choice, Nan Tiandu was simply too ferocious. Yang Wanli was greatly frightened and lost his will and courage to fight. Even if he had the iron club in his hands now, he couldn¡¯t fight any longer. Stubbornly provoking the opponent would only lead to death! ¡°Right Elder, I¡­¡± The gorilla Yang Wanli had no courage to fight, but he was unwilling to run away from a battle like this. If he did so, then he would not have any face to meet others. In addition, after returning to the sect, how can he face his Master Sect Master and numerous junior apprentice sisters and brothers? ¡°I what I, lost then lost, you have lost to Nan Batian who is matchless under heaven, losing to such a person is not shameful, come down!¡± The aged voice resounded again and added, ¡°On the contrary, you have to thank him for not directly killing you. If he had truly made a move, then instead of that iron club, your body would have been snapped into two.¡± The Right Elder of Martial God Sect mixed in the crowd could clearly see and knew that Nan Tiandu was already showing mercy. Perhaps, this action of Nan Tiandu was arrogant and intentionally displaying his astonishing strength, deliberately seeking the limelight, but whatever one said, he had just broken that iron club, and not torn off opponent¡¯s leg like Ouyang Huo or even directly torn the opponent into two halves. If that was not showing mercy, then what was? Although his methods were fierce, Nan Tiandu at least wasn¡¯t homicidal maniac like Ouyang Huo. ¡°Thank you for showing mercy, senior brother Batian!¡± The gorilla Yang Wenli came back to his senses and respectfully bowed to Nan Tiandue. He then jumped down the stage and disappeared into the crowd. Below the stage, people were dumbfounded for a moment and the commotion became all the bigger. Martial God Sect was not a small sect. That, however, was an ancient sect, like Ancient Sword Sect. Among the sects under heaven, they were close behind Heavenly Yao Sect. They were equally extraordinary. But, the sect¡¯s Big Disciple actually took the initiative to admit defeat and even respectfully bowed to the opponent, when did Martial God Sect ever have this kind of matter? ¡°Coward, still go on to say you have extraordinary strength, Martial God Sect lost all its face!¡± ¡°No, this is not cowardly, this only proves that this gorilla has brains, he is a genius that can adapt to circumstances, this is not losing a face!¡± Below the stage, onlookers excitedly made all sorts of comments. Some were disappointed and were cursing, some, however, were praising. However, no matter the situation, the momentum of Nan Batian who was standing on the stage was incomparable at this moment. In people¡¯s hearts, he truly was an Overseas Overlord who was unmatched under the heaven. Before the start of the match, Martial God Sect¡¯s Big Disciple with outstanding cultivation base and extraordinary strength was forced to withdraw. In the past Grand Sacrifice Competition, who was ever so ferocious? He was not crazy, but he indeed had the crazy ability, and he had the qualification to be arrogant! Looking at Nan Tiandu standing on the stage, the gaze of various sects¡¯ disciples had fanatical glint. They were very impatient to watch the final decisive match. They wanted to see whether Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Son of Heaven Jin Hong will win or this arrogant Nan Batian would win! ¡°Start the match, start the match¡­¡­¡± ¡°A madman under heaven, Bellowing Waves Sect¡¯s disciple, Nan Batian!¡± ¡°Unmatched under heaven, teach Heavenly Son how to behave, what a good saying! Start the match, where is Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, what is he waiting for?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ It was unknown who shouted first, most of the disciples of various sects shouted loudly. Their shout got louder and louder, directly piercing through the skies, and echoed throughout Heavenly Yao Sect. Originally, the final decisive match was to be held after the noon in accordance with the plan, but after witnessing the might of Nan Batian, the people were so excited that they couldn¡¯t wait that long. Not to mention the guests, even the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect also couldn¡¯t wait that long. But, they couldn¡¯t easily shout in public, nothing more. When the guests of various sects were excited, Son of Heaven Jin Hong and Elder Tianqing¡¯s complexion was unsightly. Chapter 642: Rising Arrogance When Heavenly Yao Square was in big commotion, no one noticed that a figure wearing a big bamboo hat had quietly arrived at Heavenly Yao Square. That figure stood on the outskirts, watching Nan Tiandu who was standing on the stage. The decisive match of today was different from the matches of last two days. The success and failure of the entire plan depended on this match. Thus, Ye Chuan also came to Heavenly Yao Square. Nan Tiandu shocked everyone and displayed his outstanding strength, but no one knew that someone else had planned all this. Ye Chuan hid behind the scenes and used Nan Tiandu, this butcher¡¯s knife, to control the direction of this competition. ¡°Kakaka, Your Excellency, it¡¯s a success!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin quietly came beside Ye Chuan and laughed. His eyes were flashing with madness, seemingly, the one on the stage enjoying the limelight was not Nan Tiandu, rather himself. ¡°It¡¯s still early, now is just the beginning.¡± Under the big bamboo hat, Ye Chuan¡¯s face was indifferent. His eyes were cold without any emotional fluctuation. Nan Tiandu on the stage had successfully lured out many Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s old fellows. But the crucial character, who truly controlled Heavenly Yao Sect, White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, had yet to appear. Thus, it was far from being successful. The result was not yet determined, they had yet to see if Nan Tiandu could lure out White Haired Heavenly Empress during this final match. If that succeeded, then that would naturally be the best; if that was unsuccessful, then they had to forcibly make a move. In any case, they had to break into Heavenly Yao Cave today! Ye Chuan looked calm, but his eyes were filled with determination. No matter whether Nan Tiandu succeeded or not, he had already decided to make a move today. In order to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was suppressed under Heavenly Yao Peak, he would pay any price! ¡°Your Excellency, do you truly not need our help to save her?¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin was still somewhat worried. His original excitement, after thinking about the danger Ye Chuan would take next, disappeared and was filled with worries. ¡°No need, you all just need to stall peak experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, and if you don¡¯t see me return within three hours, then you all don¡¯t need to wait for me, immediately retreat to Cloud Mist Sect. At that time, transmit my secret order, Nan Tiandu would be the new leader of Cloud Mist Sect and make Jiajia and others transfer to Overseas World¡¯s Dragon King Island. And until they broke through to Half Sage realm, they are not allowed to set a foot on the mainland.¡± Ye Chuan solemnly instructed. ¡°Your Excellency¡­¡± The face of Old Demon of Mount Yin sunk further and his eyes became a little red. He, Rain Demon and others had discussed, wanting to go to Heavenly Yao Hall together with Ye Chuan to seize the treasure and then break into Heavenly Yao Cave to save Heavenly Maiden, unfortunately, all were rejected by Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan would take this danger alone, he might never return to Cloud Mist Sect and this might be his final words. ¡°Your Excellency, Rhodes and others will stay here to help Nan Tiandu stall Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts, I will go together with you.¡± The assassin Rain Demon walked over. Although his cultivation hadn¡¯t changed, was still Peak Daoist Master realm, after comprehending Peerless Style Technique imparted by Ye Chuan, he had extraordinary air around him and his step was also lighter. For a first-rate assassin, movement techniques were extraordinarily important. At the critical moment, being a bit faster would vastly increase their combat power. Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Rain Demon, the comprehension of Peerless Style Technique, which level did you reach?¡± ¡°Third level, this subordinate is dull, Your Excellency, I disappointed you.¡± Rain Demon replied. ¡°No, this is already very good, very good! Rain Demon, you will go together with me!¡± Ye Chuan was overjoyed and suddenly changed his decision and prepared to take Rain Demon along with him. Peerless Style Technique was divided into seven levels. The starting part was already difficult enough, but the cultivation of subsequent levels was one more difficult than the previous one. With his previous insights and experience, Ye Chuan was at the sixth level now. Rain Demon, however, had reached the third level just after cultivating for a few days, wasn¡¯t this fast enough? Ye Chuan sized up Rain Demon and was more and more surprised. This Peerless Style Technique was simply tailor-made for Rain Demon. After cultivating this technique, he would not be a burden later. Not to mention anything else, with him together, he would be able to seize Heaven Concealing Umbrella faster, and the probability of success would also increase! ¡°Your Excellency, we will also go together with you!¡± Plague Archfiend Abasi and Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo walked over and requested again. No matter whether Heavenly Yao Hall or Heavenly Yao Cave, both were extremely dangerous. They hoped to follow Ye Chuan. ¡°No, you all should stay here. Although Nan Tiandu is strong, it is impossible for him alone to stall so many super experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. Act as planned, why should you all go? Rain Demon, let¡¯s go!¡± After instruction, Ye Chuan left with Rain Demon, disappeared into the sea of people. Behind, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others looked at each other for a moment and acted according to the plan. ¡°Start the match, start the match¡­¡­¡± ¡°Who is the strongest expert among the younger generation? We want to know. Where is Son of Heaven Jin Hong, what is he waiting for?¡± ¡°Martial God Sect¡¯s Big Disciple didn¡¯t fight and withdrew, could it be that even Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple is frightened and doesn¡¯t dare to go on the stage?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. On Heavenly Yao Square, people continued to should loudly. They couldn¡¯t wait to see the final decisive match. Some people just shouted loudly, but some people began to ridicule with ill intentions. Ye Chuan¡¯s party that gathered for a short moment didn¡¯t attract anyone else¡¯s attention. Everyone was concerned about the final battle. Along with the shout and ridicule of people, Jin Hong was more and more unable to sit still and his face turned green. Fighting with Nan Tiandu now, not to mention was violating the rule, he still had misgivings in his heart. The scene of Nan Tiandu breaking a treasure with a bare hand was honestly too ferocious and made his scalp tingle. That strength was not something a Daoist Master realm cultivator should have. Although he had obtained some trump cards from Elder Tianqing, after seeing this scene, his confidence to become the final victor was shaken. It was not appropriate to fight in advance, but waiting like this just to hear people¡¯s ridicule and screams, Jin Hong felt uncomfortable and his face was getting more and more unsightly. On the platform, Elder Tianqing¡¯s complexion was also very unsightly. Originally, he stood up and was already prepared to go off in a huff, but upon hearing the ridicule of people, he sat down again with a gloomy mood. He then instructed something to his subordinate. The latter was startled, immediately afterward, he bowed and accepted the order. Soon, the ancient copper bell resounded again for nine times, announcing the start of the final decisive match. The final match was starting now? Jin Hong was very surprised, but he didn¡¯t have much time to think. He had to toughen his scalp and jump onto the stage. Nan Tiandu could leisurely come late, after all, he was a rough fellow that came from uncivilized Overseas World. No one would bicker about his lateness. But, he was different. Once the bell rang, he had to be on the stage, otherwise, when Elder Tianqing blamed him, he will have to take the consequences. ¡°Surnamed Jin, you finally came, I have been waiting for you for a long time, hahaha¡­¡± Nan Batian roared with laughter, looking at Jin Hong who had just jumped onto the stage as his energy fluctuation successively rose along with dense killing intent. ¡°Kill, kill¡­¡± Below the stage, people shouted loudly and the atmosphere suddenly heated up. The final decisive match of the Grand Sacrifice Competition was about to begin. Everyone was very excited and was looking forward to a brilliant battle! Chapter 643: Trump Cards ¡°I¡¯ve waited a long time for you, Nan Batian, today, I will¡­¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong took out Nine Sages Battle Shield and looked at Nan Batian with dense killing intent. Thinking about the flag where ¡°Teach Heavenly Son how to behave¡± was written, he gritted his teeth. However, before he could finish speaking, a cold light flashed as a big blade chopped towards him. ¡°You truly talk too much nonsense!¡± Nan Tiandu took the initiative to attack, directly using his blade to chop down. Clang, Jin Hong hurriedly lifted the Nine Sages Battle Shield to block, but he was still forced to retreat a few steps. Looking below, fortunately, the shield was not damaged. Although this bade slash of Nan Batian was fierce and that blade was terrifying, with this heavy shield bestowed to him by Elder Tianqing, it was useless no matter how ferocious Nan Batian was. ¡°Hahaha, what matchless under heaven, kid, do you only have such a small ability?¡± Jin Hong laughed looking at Nan Tiandue and said, ¡°Come, kid, show all your abilities. Today, I will let you see what is called being expert and teach you how to behave!¡± Below the stage, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples who were worried for Jin Hong cheered loudly. The instant Nan Tiandu made the move, looking at that fierce over three feet blade light, many Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples were nervous. Only after seeing Jin Hong was able to stop that attack, they breathed a sigh of relief in succession and cheered loudly. Although Nan Batian who had come from the Overseas World was fierce, their Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple was also not any inferior! On the platform, the cloudy expression of Elder Tianqing finally lit up and a hint of smile appeared on his face. In order to win this Grand Sacrifice Competition, he had spent a lot on Jin Hong, and the latter also didn¡¯t disappoint him. With an indestructible treasure Nine Sages Battle Shield in Jin Hong¡¯s hand, it was useless no matter how fierce Nan Batian was. ¡°Eh, this shield is truly not bad!¡± Among the crowd, Ye Chuan muttered to himself in surprise. Azure Dragon Moon Blade in Nan Tiandu¡¯s hand was the big killing weapon Ye Chuan bestowed to Nan Tiandu after seizing it from Azure Dragon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Long Fei in the past. This sharp blade had no profound mysteries, but was heavy and sharp. Even a Half Sage Realm experts might not be able to block it with their bare hand. It could easily cut ordinary treasure into two halves. Jin Hong had parried this blade in a haste and actually didn¡¯t even fell. This was not because of his powerful cultivation base, rather because of Nine Sages Battle Shield in his hands. It was far superior to ordinary defensive treasure! ¡°Your Excellency, should we do something about it?¡± Rain Demon beside Ye Chuan frowned in worries looking at Nine Sages Battle Shield in Jin Hong¡¯s hands. ¡°No need, Nan Tiandu naturally has a way to deal with it. If he couldn¡¯t even deal with a Peak Daoist Master realm cultivator, then he is not Nan Tiandu!¡± Ye Chuan was calm. Although he was somewhat surprised by the shield in Jin Hong¡¯s hand, he had full confidence in Nan Tiandu, this brother. In the current Cloud Mist Sect, Nan Tiandu was undoubtedly the number one expert. At the moment, he couldn¡¯t show his true strength because of the seal, nothing more. If he truly attacked with all his strength, then Jin Hong¡¯s shield would not be able to block for sure! ¡°If you can!¡± On the stage, Nan Tiandu coldly snorted and attacked ferociously again. For a moment, the stage was filled with blade lights, and the whistling sounds of blade slashes resounded in the ears of people. Jin Hong who was talking big also didn¡¯t dare to be careless. Two experts were locked in a deadly stalemate. One was Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s dignified Big Disciple who was known as Son of Heaven. The other one was a ferocious expert that came from the Overseas World. In this battle, who would laugh in the end? People opened their eyes wide, closely watching the changes occurring on the stage. Nan Batian was attacking. His big blade was moving all around. A straight thrust, sweep, slash, every move was very powerful with great momentum. Every move made people exclaim. Unlike Nan Batian, Son of Heaven Jin Hong was in defense. He seemed to be in a dangerous position, but relying on the heavy shield, he protected his vital parts. Both of them were great experts in the younger generation. One was ferocious, one was calm, this brilliant match made people continuously exclaim and cheer. The path of cultivation was a path of defying heaven. Most of the cultivators could only stop at Wuzhe realm. Less than ten percent would break through to Xiushi realm, then from Xiushi realm to Daoist Master realm, it was again less than ten percent. From the perspective of real experts, Peak Daoist Master realm was also considered nothing, but from the perspective of the entire Wilderness World, only a few were able to reach this realm. They basically were the absolute elites. Being able to witness a battle between two Peak Daoist Master realm experts was once in a lifetime opportunity, it was very beneficial to a lot of people. On the stage, the battle between Nan Tiandu and Jin Hong opened the eyes of many disciples. They finally got to know how true experts attacked and defend. ¡°So powerful, Heavenly Yao Sect is after all Heavenly Yao Sect. Being able to cultivate such a Big Disciple is not a simple matter, no wonder they dare to reform Heavenly Maiden system!¡± ¡°Yes, even if Heavenly Maiden of this generation was here, she might not be any better!¡± ¡°Heh heh, Heavenly Yao Sect is not simple, but this Bellowing Waves Sect, isn¡¯t it even more not simple?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Below the stage, people discussed while watching. From time to time, they would also exclaim, and even argue with each other. Similarly Peak Daoist Master realm experts, upon seeing the battle between Nan Tiandu and Jin Hong, their complexion turned pale. ¡°Good, good, good, this is the appearance of the Big Disciple.¡± On the platform, Elder Tianqing caressed his beard while nodding his head. Looking at the heroic appearance of Jin Hong, his gloomy face had completely changed. The exclamation and comments of people in Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s system were exactly what he wanted. ¡°Your Excellency, after this match, people will know our sect¡¯s Big Disciple, no one will remember former Heavenly Maiden.¡± The trusted aide didn¡¯t miss this opportunity to flatter. He clearly understood the mind of Elder Tianqing. ¡°Hahaha, good, well said. Heavenly Maiden is already the thing of the past. In the future, our Heavenly Yao Sect will only have Big Disciple.¡± Elder Tianqing laughed heartily. But, after a moment, his tone changed, ¡°It¡¯s almost the time, tell Jin Hong to display his trump cards. It¡¯s time to show the true strength of my Heavenly Yao Sect. Use this madman Nan Batian¡¯s blood and life to announce the arrival of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s new era!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± A trusted aide bowed and accepted the order. Soon, a bell¡¯s sound resounded throughout Heavenly Yao Square. Jin Hong who had been defending on the stage, upon hearing the bell¡¯s sound suddenly jumped backward to open a distance from Nan Tiandu. Afterward, he laughed and took out a red pill from his bosom. Below the stage, some sharp-eyed people saw this pill and their complexion changed greatly. Chapter 644: You Are Screwed The brilliant match suddenly paused. Everyone¡¯s gaze was focused on the red pill in Son of Heaven Jin Hong¡¯s hand. Some people¡¯s complexion greatly changed, but even more had confused expression, not understanding what was going on. ¡°Hahaha, hahahahaha, Nan Batian, you are screwed!¡± Jin Hong roared with laughter. His chest was undulating rapidly, but the excitement was written all over his face as he sternly said, ¡°Open your eyes wide and look at this, what is this?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that just a pill, what¡¯s so great about it?¡± Nan Tiandu sneered and the Azure Dragon Moon Blade in his hand vibrated as he said, ¡°Surnamed Jin, you don¡¯t seem to understand something, even if you eat a hundred pills, or a thousand pills, today, you will be defeated! Heavenly Yao Sect is a great sect, has a long inheritance, but you, Jin Hong, are not qualified to be Big Disciple. Many great sects are all corrupted by scum like you. it¡¯s a pity, it¡¯s a pity¡­¡± Nan Tiandu shook his head, rudely pointing and humiliating Son of Heaven Jin Hong. The face of Jin Hong turned black, then red, then black and then red again. He just wanted to show off the pill in his hand, but this rogue didn¡¯t recognize it and even humiliated him! ¡°Nan¡­ Ba¡­ tian¡­¡± Jin Hong was furious and roared a word at a time, then added, ¡°Look clearly, this is the highest grade Heaven Restoring Pill passed down from ancient times. Today, I will use this pill to cut your hands, legs, and also cut off your tongue, then I will see how you will still be so arrogant!¡± Jin Hong opened his mouth and swallowed that red pill. Immediately afterward, a violent aura erupted from his body and his energy fluctuation multiplied in succession. It was not as simple as rising successively, rather multiplying instantly. His entire body also made crackling sounds and he quickly became half a head taller. In addition, an incomparably violent energy fluctuation swept across the entire Heavenly Yao Square along with extremely dangerous aura. This aura even shocked the old fellows of various sects and had the feeling of hard to contend. This was the aura of a Half Sage Realm expert! After swallowing the red pill, Jin Hong¡¯s strength increased sharply, breaking through to Half Sage realm in one fell swoop. However, this strength was just a temporary eruption, he wouldn¡¯t be able to last long. It was just a temporary breakthrough to Half Sage realm, nothing more. But, this was already enough for Jin Hong who wasn¡¯t at any disadvantage to get rid of Nan Batian! Half Sage Realm, Son of Heaven Jin Hong, he¡­, did he really broke through to Half Sage Realm?¡± ¡°The highest grade Heaven Restoring Pill, it seems Heavenly Yao Sect is truly going all out this time. They seemingly want to kill Buddha if Buddha blocked their way to win this competition. This disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect is in danger!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. Below the stage, people exclaimed in succession. Looking at Jin Hong, there was a hint of fear in their eyes. On the peaks, some distance away from Heavenly Yao Square, even more Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts were peeping. The appearance of a Half Sage realm expert, no matter where was very eye-catching. No matter which sect, a Half Sage realm expert was a top-notch expert. Sensing Jin Hong¡¯s majestic energy fluctuation, some old fellows who had been in seclusion for thousands of years also couldn¡¯t help coming out in advance. On Heavenly Yao Square, people made all sorts of comments in succession. This final decisive match suddenly had no suspense. Half Sage against Rank 7 Daoist Master realm, the result cannot be more obvious. In the eyes of people, Nan Batian was already powerful enough. He was definitely the first-rate expert among the younger generation. He could even fight against one to two Peak Daoist Master realm experts. With the might of Nan Batian, if it was any other past Grand Sacrifice Competition, then he would have become the final victor without any issue, unfortunately, this time, he encountered Jin Hong, this formidable opponent. Although Jin Hong¡¯s true cultivation base was not much stronger, and he even was slightly inferior to Nan Batian in strength, he, however, had many treasures. Not to mention he had Nine Sages Battle Shield, he actually had the highest grade pill that could greatly enhance his combat power, who could stop him? The disciples of various sects looked at Nan Tiandu with some pity and regret. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples, however, were very excited. With the appearance of a Half Sage Realm expert among the younger generation disciples, no one was his match. Even if this state could only be maintained for a short period of time, it was enough, who else had this kind of ability? Elder Tianqing who was sitting on the platform had a smile and also a sneer on his face. Everyone was greatly shocked, but, he had been looking forward to this moment. In order to ensure everything will be fine, he spent a lot on Jin Hong. Giving Nine Sages Battle Shield alone was not enough, he endured great pain and also gave the highest grade Heaven Restoring Pill to Jin Hong. With these two trump cards together, who among the younger generation under heaven was Jin Hong¡¯s opponent? In order to prove that his reformation was the correct choice before the guests of various sects, and also stabilize his authority and position, Elder Tianqing had carefully planned this Grand Sacrifice Competition. The shock and even fear of people were something he wanted to see. Only with the birth of a very strong Big Disciple, he no longer needed to worry about internal strife and also let people forget about Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Heavenly Maiden! ¡°Half Sage Realm?¡± Nan Tiandu frowned and looked a little solemn, seemingly, he was also greatly shocked and felt unprecedented pressure. ¡°Hahaha, kid, you are screwed! Today, I will kill you, you will absolutely not see the sun of tomorrow, hahahaha¡­¡± Jin Hong roared with laughter and suddenly lifted the heavy shield. This shield known as Nine Sages Battle Shield burst with a dazzling red light. Now, it was like a red hot iron plate, and it seemed to be getting hotter and hotter. There was a big gap between Peak Daoist Master realm and Half Sage realm. An ordinary treasure, in the hands of Peak Daoist Master cultivators, could only display 80% or so of its might, but in the hands of Half Sage realm cultivators, they could display their 100% might or even exceed the limit. Before Jin Hong broke through to Half Sage realm by swallowing the red pill, he was already able to block the attacks of Nan Tiandu relying on this shield treasure. Now, his cultivation had vastly increased, how could Nan Tiandu deal with this? Now, people were looking at Nan Tiandu as if watching a dead man. Nan Tiandu¡¯s defeat was certain, and also his death, just seeing how he would die was left. ¡°Surnamed Jin, you are the one who is truly screwed! Do you think that I, Nan Batian, was unmatched in the Overseas World with just this small cultivation base? What a joke, I will let you see the true ability of I, Nan Batian!¡± Nan Tiandu sneered. Even though other people were looking at him as if he already was a dead man or with a look of regret or gloating, he, however, was fearless, was even excited. The more powerful Jin Hong was, the more excited he became. Bang, he broke the seal and a powerful energy fluctuation erupted which was above Jin Hong¡¯s! Another Half Sage Realm expert? On Heavenly Yao Square, a huge commotion occurred. The complexion of Elder Tianqing also greatly changed and he involuntarily stood up. Looking at Nan Tiandu who cultivation rose sharply after he broke the seal, his eyes were filled with disbelief! Chapter 645: Critical Momen t ¡°Nan Batian, you¡­, how is this possible?¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong was the first to bear the brunt. He was greatly shocked, looking at Nan Tiandu in disbelief. Just a moment ago, he was roaring with laughter, claiming Nan Tiandu was screwed and he wouldn¡¯t be able to see the sun of tomorrow, but in the blink of an eye, his strength was directly suppressed by Nan Tiandu. He couldn¡¯t believe this. Half Sage Realm, breaking through after saying so, what was going on here? He had relied on the highest grade Heaven Restoring Pill and was just able to temporarily breakthrough to Half Sage Realm, in addition, he couldn¡¯t maintain this state for long, but what about Nan Tiandu? Jin Hong¡¯s heart was in chaos and full of bitterness. He was even somewhat scared. When the cultivation of Nan Tiandu suddenly erupted, he finally felt a real danger and began to involuntarily felt fear. ¡°I said, I, Nan Batian, am unmatched under heaven. What can you, a trifling Big Disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect, count as? You are inferior to even squids and snake monsters of Overseas World. Boy, let me teach you how to behave today, and let you experience what is called a peak above a peak, hahahaha¡­¡± Nan Tiandu roared with laughter with arrogance. This laughter pierced straight into the heart of Jin Hong. Nan Tiandu then made a move, his attack was even more ferocious than before as his blade chopped down towards Jin Hong¡¯s head. The latter looked flustered and hastily lifted the shield to block. Dong, he was sent flying along with the shield. Afterward, looking at the shield, although Jin Hong didn¡¯t see any cracks on this shield that claimed to be invincible, there was a big dent and the entire shield was deformed. The blade had not changed, but the person using it was completely different. Nan Tiandu who had broken his seal finally displayed his true combat power. After temporarily breaking through to Half Sage Realm relying on a pill, Jin Hong had become far stronger, making him invincible among the younger generation disciples of all sects, but, compared to Nan Tiandu whose seal was removed, he suddenly became inferior. During the time when Ye Chuan went to Overseas World to explore Sea Demon Clan¡¯s racial holy land, Nan Tiandu had worshipped Seventh Elder as his master. And under the guidance of the later, he broke through the realm that was unimaginable to other people. He even surpassed similarly Half Sage realm Plague Archfiend Abasi and Diamond Ape King Jin Teluo, becoming the strongest expert among the people around Ye Chuan. ¡°So powerful, a single slash can chop a mountain into two!¡± ¡°Heavens, truly is a Half Sage Realm, no wonder he is arrogant!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Below the stage, people made all sorts of comments in amazement and sighed endlessly. This was just a contest between younger generation disciples, nothing more. It was not the confrontation between the peak experts of the sects. In the past, among the participants of this Grand Sacrifice Competition, there were only a few people who had reached Peak Daoist Master realm and they were particularly dazzling. But this time, there were Half Sage experts, moreover, two of them! Was this the beginning of the transformation of Wilderness World to reproduce the era of Sages like in the ancient times? Or was Wilderness World showing the sign of the arrival of a great calamity? People were shocked as they watched Nan Tiandu with fear and admiration, finding this more and more unbelievable. Originally, in people¡¯s hearts, Nan Tiandu was already a dead person, and there was no suspense in this match. But, beyond their imagination, the situation reversed in the blink of an eye. In the peaks of Heavenly Yao Sect, more and more senior experts of Heavenly Yao Sect began to come out of their seclusion and flew over, stepping on a flying sword. The battle between Half Sage experts, even for these old fellows who had been in seclusion for thousands of years was a rare sight. After sensing the changes in Heavenly Yao Square, they rushed over in succession. Among them, there was no lack of previous generation seniors, previous previous generation seniors and also great experts who had been in seclusion for many years. On the platform, the complexion of Elder Tianqing became uglier as he felt great pressure. The senior experts of Heavenly Yao Sect who had rushed over in succession gave him invisible pressure. Some of these old fellows didn¡¯t even come out during the disturbance of Heavenly Maiden, but now, they were coming out in succession. If Jin Hong won, then everything will be fine, but if he lost, then it would be very troublesome. ¡°Not bad, actually can stop my blade, again, let¡¯s see if you can block several more!¡± Nan Tiandu roared and rushed forward again, initiating continuous attacks. He showed no quarter and attacked as if he wanted to reap his life. Jin Hong lifted Nine Sages Battle Shield to block, but he was sent flying along with the shield. It appeared as if he was able to successfully guard himself, but under the repetitive violent attacks of Nan Tiandu, Jin Hong¡¯s complexion gradually turned pale. The material used to forge Nine Sages Battle Shield was truly extraordinary, under the brute force bombardment of Nan Tiandu, it didn¡¯t crack, but the deformation got bigger and bigger, and gradually distorted beyond recognition. After several moves, it no longer had the appearance of a shield, rather looked like a piece of crumpled rag. The match on the stage was getting more and more intense. After a brief shock, onlookers came back to their senses and began to cheer loudly. The atmosphere became even more enthusiastic. A burst of invisible shockwaves would repeatedly spread out from the stage, which was the aftermath of the collision of Nan Tiandu and Jin Hong, making the disciples standing close to the stage retreat in succession. In the sky above, people¡¯s commotion and dense killing intent were rippling. Frequently, the intense shockwave would directly pierce through the cloud. Half Sage realm experts¡¯ unique aura and energy fluctuation spread all around. When the match was in full swing, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly came from the direction of Heavenly Yao Peak. That energy fluctuation was majestic and powerful, making all those cultivators below Sage Realm feel the pressure. On the Heavenly Yao Square, the people with a strong divine sense looked back in succession and saw a shocking scene. A graceful woman wearing a white robe descended from Heavenly Yao Peak, then walked over, step by step. She was beautiful, her skin was smooth and delicate like an infant¡¯s, and her figure was graceful and more beautiful than any younger generation female disciples. She looked to be in her twenties, however, her hair was completely white, and her eyes were cold without any expression. She neither used a flying sword nor used any treasure, but she walked on the air like flat ground. In addition, her every step covered a distance of over a hundred meters. White Haired Heavenly Empress! The true overlord of Heavenly Yao Sect, Heavenly Empress was also alarmed by the final match and she suddenly made an appearance at the critical moment. ¡°We pay respect to Heavenly Empress!¡± ¡°Long live Heavenly Empress, long live, long live!¡± All the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect including even Elder Tianqing hastily knelt down and greeted Heavenly Empress. In Heavenly Yao Sect, every Heavenly Empress was the supreme existence, i.e., the overload of Heavenly Yao Sect, was the emperor of the cultivation world! Chapter 646: Heaven List Assassin A match between the younger generation disciples actually alerted Heavenly Empress to come? Everyone on Heavenly Yao Square was greatly shocked, and then, they were excited, especially the numerous disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, they were overjoyed. Even after joining Heavenly Yao Sect, many of them couldn¡¯t see Heavenly Empress for even a few times throughout their life. If they could get the appreciation and favor of Heavenly Empress, then they would immediately ascend heaven in a single step! Jin Hong who was standing on the stage was also very excited. It was unknown where he got the strength from, he suddenly erupted with strength and ferociously counterattacked Nan Tiandu, wanting to show his talents in front of Heavenly Empress. ¡°Kill, Nan Batian, you must die today!¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong roared loudly and the already deformed Nine Sages Battle Shield in his hand became redder and redder as he ferociously tried to smash his opponent with this heavy shield. ¡°Surnamed Jin, come, make your attack even fiercer, this title of being the first under heaven among younger generation disciples is mine, hahahaha¡­¡± Nan Tiandu roared with laughter. Upon seeing Heavenly Empress had also come out, he was excited. This was something he hoped for. The plan of Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan finally succeeded! Nan Tiandu was excited, but his mind remained clear. He didn¡¯t immediately use a hard hand to kill Jin Hong. On the contrary, he pretended to be in a passive state and was forced to retreat under the ferocious attacks of the latter, wanting to stall for time. He had created unprecedented commotion just to lure out White Haired Heavenly Empress, now, he had to stall Heavenly Empress and other experts here as long as possible. Although Ye Chuan was fast, he still needed some time to save a person! The attention of people quickly shifted to the stage from White Haired Heavenly Empress. They watched the fierce battle on the stage without even blinking. No one noticed that, at that time, two shadows wearing a big bamboo hat quietly left Heavenly Yao Square and rushed straight towards Heavenly Yao Peak. They couldn¡¯t miss this chance. At this moment when White Haired Heavenly Empress was out, Ye Chuan started to make a move. He went straight towards Heavenly Yao Hall along with Rain Demon. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. The match of Heavenly Yao Square created an unprecedented sensation, attracting many Heavenly Yao Guards who originally were supposed to be on guard duty. Now, the guard of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s forbidden places was most lax, if he didn¡¯t make a move now, then what moment was he waiting? Ye Chuan¡¯s speed was very fast, although his physical body was greatly weakened in recent days, at this key moment, he was still fast. Behind, the speed of Rain Demon was also not any inferior. He even seemed to be able to easily keep up with Ye Chuan. With Rain Demon beside him, Ye Chuan was even more confident in breaking into Heavenly Yao Hall. Sure enough, along the path, they didn¡¯t encounter anyone. The patrolling guards and hidden lookouts were much less than before. The few who were still holding their position were also distracted. Although Heavenly Yao Square was far away from here, they could still clearly hear the cheering voice coming from Heavenly Yao Square. This made their heart itchy and their mind was already at Heavenly Yao Square, entirely unaware of two uninvited guests. Without the obstruction of guards, Ye Chuan and Rain Demon didn¡¯t take long before they arrived at Heavenly Yao Peak. Looking from the distance, the patrolling guards of former days were absent, but the two heavily armored guards were still there. Although the loud cheers could be heard from here, these two heavily armored guards remained unmoved, strictly guarding Heavenly Yao Hall¡¯s entrance as if two indifferent battle puppets. ¡°Hei Kui, go!¡± Ye Chuan was already prepared. He summoned the puppet doll from his Cyan Lotus Space, and the latter smiled. Afterward, he wore a black robe, disguising as a burly man and went into the forest outside Heavenly Yao Hall. Immediately afterward, two cold lights flashed over and one heavily armored guard suddenly moved at lightning speed. ¡°Who¡¯s there? Dare to intrude our Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s forbidden area, kill without pardon!¡± This heavily armored guard shouted loudly and pulling out a sharp sword hanging on his waist, he attacked. As for the other heavily armored guard, he continued to stay guard in front of Heavenly Yao Hall without any movement. It seemed that after Ye Chuan¡¯s intrusion to Heavenly Yao Hall last time, these two were suspicious and learning the lesson, they were even more vigilant. If they still want to break in like last time, using Hei Kui alone to lure them away was impossible. Fortunately, Ye Chuan had another expert beside him. A cold light suddenly flashed in front of Heavenly Yao Hall. Under the ferocious attack of a heavily armored guard, the burly figure was instantly cut into three pieces. Next, a piece of the body that fell on the ground suddenly jumped up and rushed into the forest along with laughter. The puppet doll Hei Kui used clever camouflage to deceive the powerful heavily armored guard and lured a tiger away from the mountain. ¡°It¡¯s that dwarf again!¡± The two heavily armored guards roared angrily, but the guard standing in front of the door still didn¡¯t move and forcibly suppressed his anger. As for the other one, he, however, was unable to endure and chased after Hei Kui. Last time, they were played around by Hei Kui, this time they absolutely couldn¡¯t let the latter escape. In anger, one heavily armored guard spared no effort to chase after a puppet doll. Upon seeing this guard was chasing after him, the old devil was not flustered. He even slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, making the eyes of the heavily armored guard shine with a ferocious glint and attack. Meanwhile, two people behind a tree swayed and transformed into a shadow. ¡°Be careful, there is an ambush!¡± The heavily armored guard standing in front of the door warned loudly, unfortunately, it was already too late. A sharp dagger suddenly stabbed through a heavily armored guard¡¯s body. Within the darkened forest, Rain Demon¡¯s appearance slowly emerged, directly piercing a blade into the throat of a heavily armored guard. Just like Ye Chuan hoped, after cultivating Peerless Style Technique, Rain Demon had truly become the top-notch assassin. The old devil Hei Kui was responsible for luring out a person and he took advantage of that moment to get rid of a Peak Daoist Master realm expert. He was simply accustomed to killing a person without a trace. ¡°No¡­¡± The other heavily armored guard couldn¡¯t simply standby. He subconsciously pulled out his sword and rushed towards Rain Demon. Just after he had stepped out, a figure sneaked into Heavenly Yao Hall without a trace. After two days, Ye Chuan sneaked into Heavenly Yao Hall again. Last time, at the final moment, he was stopped by ancient sword formation in Heavenly Yao Sect. This time, he, however, was prepared! Chapter 647: Final Momen t It was very quiet inside Heavenly Yao Hall. Ye Chuan just opened a small crack and entered the hall, then quietly closed the door. He took light steps as if he was weightless like a feather. Ye Chuan looked solemn as he stepped forward. His eyes, however, were shining as he looked around this quiet Heavenly Yao Hall. This place was the main peak of Heavenly Yao Sect and also the most important forbidden land. Although he had been here once two days ago, in addition, many experts of Heavenly Yao Sect was already lured to Heavenly Yao Square now, Ye Chuan still didn¡¯t dare to be careless. Sure enough, after careful observation, he noticed something unusual. Compared to two days ago, the restrictions of Heavenly Yao Hall were different, seemingly, had changed. Flowing Water Restriction! Ye Chuan¡¯s pupils shrunk and his entire body became tense. Powerful restrictions placed in important places that could change according to the environment into tens of thousands of forms every day and was unpredictable like flowing water, this was Flowing Water Restriction. Millions of years ago, this kind of restrictions were very popular, but this was the method of Later Stage Sage or even Peak Sage. Within Heavenly Yao Sect, was there still a living Later Stage Sage? Or, was this Flowing Water Restriction laid down by Blue Eyed Yao Empress in those years? Ye Chuan was confused and became even more cautious. Last time, when he broke into Heavenly Yao Hall, he had not noticed this Flowing Water Restriction. After suddenly discovering it today, his heart was somewhat restless. After closing the door, Heavenly Yao Hall was very quiet, but the cheers coming from Heavenly Yao Square could still be vaguely heard inside. The battle between Nan Tiandu and Jin Hong was getting fiercer and fiercer. The battle between two Half Sage Realm experts made everyone very excited. He had confidence in Nan Tiandu, but in front of so many experts of various sects, he might not be able to stall for a long period of time. If he delayed making a move for a long time, it would easily reveal flaws, making White Haired Heavenly Empress and others sense something was wrong. Ye Chuan took a deep breath and circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and using Cyan Feather Technique, he drifted forward like a weightless feather, starting to forcibly break the Flowing Water Restriction in front of him. Every Flowing Water Restriction was unpredictable. Being able to breakthrough for the first time didn¡¯t mean he could also breakthrough the second time. Halfway through the path, perhaps, there might be a new trap or even be crushed by the ancient restriction. Originally, after discovering an ancient restriction, the best way was to retreat. But, in order to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, Ye Chuan couldn¡¯t retreat. If he wished to break into Heavenly Yao Cave and rescue her, then he had to obtain Heaven Concealing Umbrella sealed in Heavenly Yao Hall. A black mist suddenly appeared in Heavenly Yao hall and stone pillars emitted light. Sure enough, after Ye Chuan stepped into the zone shrouded with restriction, a change appeared in Heavenly Yao Hall. Fortunately, as former Heaven Concealing Great Sage who once summoned wind and rain throughout Wilderness World, Ye Chuan was very experienced and knowledgeable. He skillfully traversed through Heavenly Yao Hall. Sometimes, he moved left, sometimes, he moved right, sometimes, he was fast, sometimes, he was slow, he displayed the might of Cyan Feather Technique to the extreme to carefully advance through powerful restrictions. It was just a few hundred meters, but it took more time than traveling several thousand meters outside, fortunately, he didn¡¯t fall into any danger. After a while, Ye Chuan finally arrived at the end of Heavenly Yao Hall. The tiger-skinned chair was just less than ten meters away. The unique aura and energy fluctuation of Heaven Concealing Umbrella were very strong. Now, he was already out of the danger of Flowing Water Restriction, only that ancient sword formation was blocking his path. Unlike Flowing Water Restriction, ancient sword formation couldn¡¯t be bypassed through skill. From the direction of Heavenly Yao Square, suddenly the sound of shocked exclamation came. It seemed the match had already reached the final moment. He also couldn¡¯t sense the aura of Rain Demon and the old devil Hei Kui, perhaps, they had already killed that remaining guard at a certain corner, or perhaps, they lured him far away from the place. The time was pressing, if he missed this change, then he might never have this kind of chance again! Ye Chuan took a deep breath and walked towards that tiger-skinned chair. Just after he took a step forward, suddenly flying swords flew out and continuously circulated in the air. In the next moment, they simultaneously whistled towards Ye Chuan. Instantly, the entire world was filled with sword qi and only sword lights could be seen everywhere. The ancient sword formation at the end of the hall quickly displayed its amazing might. Even a Half Sage Realm expert might not necessarily be able to forcibly breakthrough it. In the past few days, in order to refine and nurture the mysterious Yinyang Life Wheel, Ye Chuan had used up a lot of his vitality and his physical body seemed to have become over ten years older. It was impossible for him to breakthrough this formation relying on his physical strength. Fortunately, he was already prepared. When those sharp flying swords were about to reach Ye Chuan, a cyan light suddenly erupted in Heavenly Yao Hall as a dove flew out from Ye Chuan¡¯s body, then three, ten, one hundred¡­ countless doves suddenly appeared inside Heavenly Yao Hall. A red light shone and many flying swords shot out from the ground and crazily circled in the air, killing these doves that appeared so suddenly. The ancient sword formation was running wild. The floor was dyed red with doves¡¯ blood and the feathers and incomplete limbs of doves scattered everywhere. Thousands of doves were ruthlessly killed as soon as they flew out. The ancient sword formation was fierce, but, Ye Chuan seemed to have countless doves. Once ten thousand doves were killed, in the next moment, more than one hundred thousand doves flew out from Cyan Lotus Lamp. The sheer number of doves was beyond the limit of ancient sword formation. Occasionally, doves would rush out of the formation and fly to a corner of the hall. Ye Chuan also rushed forward behind several doves. He used a unique method to break through ancient sword formation and reached tiger skinned chair at the end of the hall. This was the place from where Heavenly Empress ruled, it was a very important place of Heavenly Yao Sect. Even after millions of years, the lines carved on the big chairs had not changed in the slightest. It was no different from how it was in Ye Chuan¡¯s memories. Thinking about it, Blue Eyed Yao Empress used to sit here and command Heavenly Yao Sect and also discussed matters with him in happiness. Those memories were still vivid. A lot of memories suddenly flowed into Ye Chuan¡¯s mind. Another burst of cheers came from Heavenly Yao Square. There was a mix of screams too. It seemed the match had reached the final moment. At the same time, a horn sound came from halfway through the mountain along with a vague whistling sound of Rain Demon, this was the latter warning Ye Chuan which represented that the guards of Heavenly Yao Peak discovered their trace. Oh! Ye Chuan came back to his senses and roared while circulating twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans to the limit, and ruthlessly palmed, wanting to use brute force to break this tiger-skinned chair and obtain Heaven Concealing Umbrella! Chapter 648: Bai t With a loud bang, the tiger-skinned chair which had accommodated many Heavenly Empress cracked open. A dazzling black light suddenly shot out from the cracked tiger-skinned chair and soared towards the sky. Upon careful look, he could see an umbrella. At first glance, its style looked a bit old-fashioned, but upon the closer look, it felt different to some extent. On the old fashioned surface, there were many patterns engraved with great care, giving people a refined feeling; looking again, the feeling changed again, making people feel domineering air. The patterns of the umbrella seemed to wriggle and emit black mist, which quickly spread all over, wanting to blot out the sky. In the midst of the dark mist, sounds of a very powerful army could be heard vaguely and a strong slaughter aura submerged the entire place, making people suffocate and gasp for breath. Heaven Concealing Umbrella! This great killing artifact that followed Ye Chuan in his many campaigns throughout Wilderness World in his previous life appeared in front of Ye Chuan again. ¡°Heaven Concealing Umbrella, return!¡± Ye Chuan circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and suddenly made unique law seals using his hands. Afterward, Heaven Concealing Umbrella fluttering in the sky suddenly trembled, then transforming into a whip of black light, whistled over and landed in Ye Chuan¡¯s hand. The patterns on the umbrella handle lit up one by one as it continuously vibrated, seemingly, it was also endlessly excited to sense the aura of Ye Chuan, this former master. All intelligent things could recognize their master, yao beasts were like this, and higher grade magic treasures were also like that. On Heaven Concealing Umbrella, someone had laid out layer upon layer of restrictions to camouflage this treasure¡¯s aura, but they were unable to erase its spirit, which made this treasure happily return to Ye Chuan after sensing its former master¡¯s aura. ¡°My baby, you really haven¡¯t forgotten me, come, in the previous life, you followed me to sweep across Wilderness World¡¯s all great ominous domains, in this life, I will let you follow my campaigns again!¡± Ye Chuan chanted a merit law and spat out a mouthful of essence blood. Heaven Concealing Umbrella immediately made crackling sounds as the layer upon layer of restrictions above it dispersed in succession, gradually displaying its true appearance. On the umbrella handle, many relief sculptures appeared, there were beasts of prey, birds and also ** human heads. All of them were beheaded by Ye Chuan in his previous life during the exploration of great ominous domains. Every time a powerful expert was killed, the corresponding relief sculpture would appear on the umbrella handle. This treasure was not only his previous life¡¯s great killing artifact, was also the witness of Ye Chuan¡¯s greatness in his previous life. All experts who didn¡¯t heed his commands, regardless of ancient beasts of prey or Sage Realm great experts, all met their dooms under Heaven Concealing Umbrella. ¡°In the previous life, I just concealed heaven, and everyone called you Heaven Concealing Umbrella. In this life, I am determined to establish greater glory and want to swallow heaven. From here onward, you shall be called Heaven Swallowing Umbrella!¡± Ye Chuan said, word by word, speaking out his great aspiration in Heaven Concealing Hall. His new life had started from the time he escaped from God Burial Valley. He naturally wanted to look for the secret manipulators who trapped him in God Burial Valley to take revenge and also wanted to investigate the whereabouts of Ghost Hand Medicinal King, Blue Eyed Yao Empress and other followers, but his aspiration wasn¡¯t just limited to this. He would settle the enmity and also look for people, but his greater wish was to create greater glory than his previous life. In the previous life, he already had no opponent in the entire Wilderness World, but at that time, his sight was limited to Wilderness World only. In this life, he, however, found that outside Wilderness World, there furthermore was even vaster Outer World with even more powerful opponents, how could he be content with just the achievements of his previous life? Ye Chuan¡¯s voice echoed in the majestic hall, and the ancient stone pillars also lit up as if shocked by his great ambition. Meanwhile, a powerful bloody light sprang out from Heaven Concealing Umbrella and soared towards the sky. That bloody light reached high in the air and exploded, turning into specks of light, then, those specks of light condensed into a huge palm, covering the vast majority of the sky. At the same time, Ye Chuan felt like his heart suddenly shrunk and was unable to breathe, which was very uncomfortable. Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a short moment. The huge palm in the sky also quickly disappeared, but that was already shocking enough. At Heavenly Yao Square, White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi looked at the sky and her complexion greatly changed; In Daqin Dynasty¡¯s palace, Emperor Cauldron which symbolized Daqing Dynasty¡¯s power and influence suddenly made sounds on its own. And along with each sound, many cracks appeared on it; Hundreds of millions of li away from Heavenly Yao Sect, below an abyss, an old man who had been in seclusion for who knows how many years suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were very sharp as if his gaze pierced through time and space, watching the scene in the sky above Heavenly Yao Sect; At the same time, a pair of skinny hands suddenly sprang out from an unmarked grave, then an inhumane howl resounded throughout the sky, and all the yao beasts wandering nearby immediately ran away desperately; ¡­¡­¡­¡­ The scene above Heavenly Yao Sect suddenly alarmed the entire Wilderness World, and countless old evil spirits awakened. In Heavenly Yao Hall, Ye Chuan¡¯s face suddenly sunk. ¡°Bait, someone did something to Heaven Concealing Umbrella, this is a trap, is a bait!¡± Ye Chuan was solemn as he vaguely understood what was going on. The bloody light that shot out from Heaven Concealing Umbrella had no attack power, this was not even a restriction, was merely an ingenious trick. In the last ages, he didn¡¯t know how many Heavenly Empresses used Heaven Concealing Umbrella, but until now, this trick was not triggered. Clearly, someone had deliberately aimed towards him, just when Heaven Concealing Umbrella fell into his hands, this trick was triggered. Was it Blacksnake Monarch, that formidable enemy? Did he think that he will not easily die in God Burial Valley, therefore, especially prepared this trap, waiting for his return? Or did Blue Eyed Yao Empress left behind this seal while quietly waiting for his return in some corner of Wilderness World or Outer World? Ye Chuan¡¯s thought rapidly, beginning to secretly calculate. Regardless of anything, the person who was able to tamper with Heaven Concealing Umbrella was absolutely not an average person! Unfortunately, before he could think more, ear-defeating hubbub came from the direction of Heavenly Yao Square, followed by familiar whistling sound and energy fluctuation. Ye Chuan exerted strength on his toe and soared with the support of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, directly breaking through the roof of Heavenly Yao Hall. Then, looking over, he saw Heavenly Yao Square was already in a great mess. Son of Heaven Jin Hong had already disappeared without a trace, he wondered if he had already hidden away or was killed by Nan Tiandu. Now, the one fighting with Nan Tiandu was not anyone else, was White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi who controlled Heavenly Yao Sect. Upon seeing the image above Heavenly Yao Peak, everyone knew that something had happed in Heavenly Yao Hall. The first reaction of White Haired Heavenly Empress was, she wanted to rush over to Heavenly Yao Peak, but she was suddenly blocked by Nan Tiandu. At that time, Nan Tiandu finally displayed his true strength. A huge phantom that was neither dragon nor mouse appeared behind him as he used all his strength to tie up White Haired Heavenly Empress who had a heaven-defying cultivation base. Chapter 649: Ferocious Beauty Heavenly Yao Peak was the main Peak of Heavenly Yao Sect. It was a tall and steep peak that pierced into the clouds. Standing at the summit of this peak and looking below, one could clearly see the circumstances of the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. Ye Chuan stood in the room of Heavenly Yao Hall and looking below, he was surprised. The chaos of Heavenly Yao Square exceeded his expectations. Nan Tiandu went all out, firmly entangling with White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi. Meanwhile, Plague Archfiend Abasi and Golden Ape King Jin Teluo had also broken their respective seals and went all out to intercept Elder Tianqing and other Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts. With their strong combat power, they stalled Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts here in order to create a chance to save a person for Ye Chuan. With three Half Sage realm experts suddenly initiating a ferocious surprise attack, Heavenly Yao Sect was caught unprepared, this was not the worse part. Unlike Nan Tiandu and others, Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was not good at the frontal battle and one-on-one battle, he also never liked that kind of battles. He liked a large scale chaotic warfare, the more people fighting chaotically, the better. Taking advantage of the time when experts of Heavenly Yao Sect were shocked under the sudden attack of Nan Tiandue and others, Old Demon of Mount Yin walked everywhere while using his unique deadly technique, Vine Demon¡¯s Chaotic Dance, and launched an indiscriminate attack towards the people gathered in Heavenly Yao Square. Standing on the roof of Heavenly Yao Hall, one could see countless vines springing out from the ground in the midst of the people fighting chaotically in Heavenly Yao Square. Those vines first bound people¡¯s legs and pierced through their hearts. Along with the screaming sounds of people, the laughter of Old Demon of Mount Yin could be heard. He was not the only one who was making a sneak attack, some guests who came here with ill intention also carried out sneak attacks on unguarded Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. Those devils who had sneaked in disguising as the disciples of other sects were even more open, they harvested the heads of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. The suddenly changes caught Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s top to bottom unprepared. Among the four experts, Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s cultivation was far from being the strongest, but, he was the one that created the biggest destruction. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts were experienced, they quickly discovered Old Demon of Mount Yin, this evil great devil, and chase after him to kill in succession. Unfortunately, there were too many people in Heavenly Yao Square and it was too chaotic now. Their path was either blocked by Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King, or the guests of various other sects or even the young disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect. On several occasions, Old Demon of Mount Yin just passed by them. In the chaotic Heavenly Yao Square, Old Demon of Mount Yin was like a fish in the water. He wantonly killed while absorbing the blood, qi, essence and energy of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. The current situation of Heavenly Yao Square was beyond the expectation of everyone, including Ye Chuan who had made this plan. ¡°Your Excellency, a group of experts are rushing up!¡± A small voice came from below. Ye Chuan looked down and saw Rain Demon and puppet doll Hei Kui had already returned to Heavenly Yao Hall. After getting rid of that remaining heavily armored guard, they two didn¡¯t rest, but continued to kill the guards in Heavenly Yao Peak. They did everything they could to stall for time, but, as more and more Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts rushed over, they two were honestly unable to stop them. Heavenly Yao Square was chaotic. The powerful Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts there were stopped by Nan Tiandu and others, but Heavenly Yao Sect was filled with experts, they honestly had too many powerful experts. Often, a group of experts would rush towards Heavenly Yao Sect under White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s orders. Under the all-out attack of Nan Tiandu, White Hair Heavenly Empress was unable to move freely for the time being, but, she was calmly issuing orders. More and more Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts responded and not getting tangled with Old Demon of Mount Yin and others, they directly rushed towards Heavenly Yao Hall. Everyone had seen the image that appeared in the sky just a moment ago. After seeing this phenomenon, they clearly knew that something had happened in Heavenly Yao Hall. Heavenly Yao Hall was the important place of Heavenly Yao Sect. It was the place where the successive Heavenly Empress stayed and commanded the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. Every stone pillar, even every tile and every brick had a long history. The pattern inscribed on them represented the extraordinary inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect. If Heavenly Yao hall was destroyed, then Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance might be broken. This made Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts burn with impatience. ¡°Set fire, burn this Heavenly Yao Hall down!¡± Ye Chuan came back to his senses and ordered. The time was tight, although Nan Tiandu and others were strong, they wouldn¡¯t be able to deal for long. The numerous experts of Heavenly Yao Sect would soon initiate a ferocious counterattack. But, even though he knew that the time was tight, Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t impatient to leave. The more critical the moment was, the calmer he became. He wanted to pour oil to the fire to completely mess up Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°I comply!¡± ¡°Hahaha, good, Your Excellency, I love killing and setting fire the most!¡± Rain Demon and old devil Hei Kui accepted the order and left. Soon, the ancient Heavenly Yao Hall was set on fire and the flame soared. Screams and roaring sounds came from below the mountain as even more experts of Heavenly Yao Sect rushed towards the summit at their full speed. All of them were emitting dense killing intent. In Heavenly Yao Square, White Haired Heavenly Empress was also angry and emitted dense killing intent. Her white hair chaotically danced in the air as she began to float up, then she indifferently sang an incantation, truly displaying Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s peerless technique. ¡°When I comprehend the great dao, all evil and devils met their doom!¡± ¡°When I ascend to heaven and become Sage, the ocean turned into the mulberry field, ancient trees sprout new shoots turning into Kumu!¡± ¡°When I am in control of the land under heaven and govern Wilderness World, everything¡­¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The voice of White Haired Heavenly Empress became louder and louder as it reverberated throughout the sky. Instantly, the situation of Heavenly Yao Square changed. Those countless ferociously dancing vines suddenly withered down to the ground. Plague Archfiend, Diamond Ape King and Old Demon of Mount Yin felt like an invisible hammer smashed their chest and blood flowed out from the corner of their mouth. Nan Tiandu who bore the brunt was sent flying while vomiting blood, and instantly, his black hair turned white, his skin dried and cracked, and many wrinkles appeared on his face, as if he turned into an old man with one foot in the grave from a heroic young man. Great Wishing Technique! White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s eyes turned ice-cold as she completely displayed her heaven-defying cultivation base. Nan Tiandu roared, and after getting up, he dashed ahead regardless of his safety. The Soaring Draconic Rat behind him also became even more lifelike as if it wanted to come out tearing the time and space, and his punch brought along great power. However, before his fist reached White Haired Heavenly Empress, he was sent flying again. Both of them were in the same Half Sage Realm, but once White Haired Heavenly Empress went all-out, Nan Tiandu couldn¡¯t even approach her. Seeing the situation was anything but reassuring, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King gritted their teeth and rushed over. They three cooperated to handle heaven-defying White Haired Heavenly Empress. However, even like this, they were unable to gain an upper hand. They were just barely able to resist White Haired Heavenly Empress. Elder Tianqing and other Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts took advantage of this chance to rush towards Heavenly Yao Hall at their full speed. ¡°Brother Tiandu, hold on a bit longer!¡± Ye Chuan looked at injured Nan Tiandu and others from far away and suddenly turned around, leaving together with Rain Demon and Hei Kui. They flew down from the other side of Heavenly Yao Peak in order to avoid encountering Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts and directly rush towards Heavenly Yao Cave. Chapter 650: Heaven Concealing Killing Artifac t Heavenly Yao Sect had many experts, but most of them were either stuck in Heavenly Yao Square and couldn¡¯t get out for a while or were rushing up Heavenly Yao Peak in order to extinguish the fire. Ye Chuan set Heavenly Yao Hall on fire before leaving, making Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples very impatient, successfully diverting their attention. Without taking too many twists and turns, Ye Chuan arrived in front of Heavenly Yao Cave once again. Since the time was tight, he didn¡¯t look around and immediately entered the cave. ¡°Cold, so cold!¡± ¡°What is this place? How can it be so cold?¡± Rain Demon and puppet doll Hei Kui beside Ye Chaun exclaimed and shivered. Ye Chuan also had goosebumps on his arms. Just after a few days, Heavenly Yao Cave seemed to have gotten colder. ¡°This is Heavenly Yao Cave.¡± Ye Chuan replied and using a technique, he opened the umbrella in his hand. The shivering Rain Demon and Hei Kui immediately felt a hint of warmth. As the defensive treasure of Ye Chuan¡¯s previous life, Heaven Concealing Umbrella could not only block the opponent¡¯s ferocious attacks, but also could isolate heat, cold and even poison. In his previous life, this was one of the treasures he relied on to explore ancient ominous domains. Although Heavenly Yao Cave was strangely cold, under the protection of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, the three people were in much better shape. Under heaven, no one was more familiar with the wonderful functions of Heaven Concealing Umbrella. Although his body was still very weak, using Heaven Concealing Umbrella, he easily resisted the severe cold of Heavenly Yao Cave. ¡°Your Excellency, what is this?¡± The old devil Hei Kui was curious about Heaven Concealing Umbrella in Ye Chuan¡¯s hand. The more he watched it, the more surprised he was. With his cultivation and insight, he actually was unable to see through the mysteries of this Heaven Concealing Umbrella. ¡°This is a treasure called Heaven Concealing Umbrella. Just a moment ago, we forcibly broke into Heavenly Yao Sect in order to seize this treasure which only the successive Heavenly Empress could use.¡± Ye Chuan replied as he continued to walk forward. While walking, he was using his divine sense trying to sense Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s aura. These past few days, refining Yinyang Life Wheel, although his physical body had weakened, his divine sense, however, had gotten unprecedentedly stronger. Last time, even after going to a segment of Heavenly Yao Cave, he found nothing and was also unable to sense Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s aura. This time, before walking too far away, he already sense a hint of familiar aura. Although he couldn¡¯t conclude that this was Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s aura, this already made him excited and his steps quickened. ¡°Heaven Concealing Umbrella? Allegedly, isn¡¯t this the great killing artifact of certain Heaven Concealing Great Sage a very long time ago? How did it fall into Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s hands? Is this truly that legendary treasure?¡± As an assassin, other than cultivating and researching the assassination path, Rain Demon also studied various kinds of records and intelligence. A first-rate assassin must have knowledge of all aspects. One should know that, to judge the position in the wild, an assassin should understand the terrain of every place and also understand their local customs. A knowledgeable person might not become a powerful assassin, but a first-rate assassin should be knowledgeable in all aspects. After learning and studying the experts under heaven, they would know what kind of targets could be achieved and what kind couldn¡¯t be achieved. The knowledgeable Rain Demon vaguely recalled reading an ancient book that recorded ancient artifacts many years ago. It had a brief introduction of Heaven Concealing Umbrella along with the vague history of this treasure. The record roughly stated that this was the great killing artifact of an ancient Heaven Concealing Great Sage and the might of this treasure was extremely powerful. Rain Demon had already forgotten the specific details written on that ancient book. Merely, he recalled the last sentence, ¡°Once Heaven is Concealed, No one Fight for Mastery!¡± ¡°Maybe, or maybe it¡¯s just a coincidence, nothing more. Or to say, it¡¯s just a fake artifact. Naturally, whether it is fake or real, its might is pretty good.¡± Ye Chuan faintly smiled and didn¡¯t explain too much. Speaking out his true identity was too shocking. Before breaking through to Half Sage realm or Sage Realm, he couldn¡¯t reveal his true identity, otherwise, it might attract unnecessary troubles. In Wilderness World, there were some great devils who were dedicated to hunting the reincarnated experts. They usually lied low and didn¡¯t come out, but when they heard the rumor, they would immediately act. Heaven Concealing Great Sage who once dominated the entire Wilderness World, not to mention absorbing his blood, qi, essence and divine sense, just his memories was enough to enlighten these great devils into powerful experts. ¡°This subordinate also thinks that this treasure should be a fake, otherwise, with such a big killing artifact in hands, Heavenly Yao Sect would have already spread the news to hit the morale of its competitors.¡± The old devil Hei Kui shook his head and made a comment, no longer interested in Heaven Concealing Umbrella in Ye Chuan¡¯s hand. Listening to him, Rain Demon also felt he was somewhat reasonable. Although Heavenly Yao Sect had numerous experts and was known as the foremost sect under heaven, they were secretly feeling the pressure. They were being pressured by Ancient Sword Sect, Cold Spring Sect and other large cultivating sects, and even secular world¡¯s Daqin Dynasty. Once upon a time, the secular world¡¯s dynasty was nothing in the eyes of cultivating sects, but with the rise of Daqin Dynasty, the trend of the world changed so quickly that it was unbelievable. The secular dynasty annexed many scattered nations, increasing their strength, meanwhile, the cultivating sects were getting weaker. In front of the overbearing Daqing Dynasty, the situation of small sects was already not good, and various large sects were also already feeling the pressure. If Heavenly Yao Sect truly possessed a great killing artifact left behind by ancient Heaven Concealing Great Sage, then it was unreasonable to not display it publicly to shake the opponents. The current situation of the Wilderness World was complex like never before. Whether the secular dynasties or cultivating sects, they had reached a critical point in internal and external troubles. In this way, either one would completely collapse or both sides will suffer. Wilderness World was only so big, the resources wouldn¡¯t increase, but the consumption was increasing. No one was willing to give up their benefit and were prepared to fight with each other. This was the sign of chaos, a new catastrophe was coming. In the last catastrophe, Sages fell and various sects rose, what about this time? Will all the sects get annihilated or the secular dynasties would collapse? No one knows what will happen after this catastrophe, but many figures had already felt the pressure. Knowledgeable Rain Demon naturally was no exception. ¡°Hei Kui, you are getting smarter.¡± Ye Chuan smiled, merely, it was a bitter smile. While walking ahead, he muttered to himself, ¡°Once the Heaven is Concealed, No one Fight for Mastery¡­¡± Millions of years ago, in the era of sages, this phrase was known by everyone. Once Heaven Concealing Great Sage, these four words were heard, all evil devils wouldn¡¯t dare to even fight. Now, after such a long period of time, anyone barely knew this phrase. Only the people who studied ancient books like Rain Demon knows a little. Who would have thought that Heaven Concealing Great Sage who once dominated the entire Wilderness World would actually be degraded to this current state? Ye Chuan was lost in thought, recalling that magnificent era of sages, recalling his campaigns with his followers like Blue Eyed Yao Empress, Ghost Hand Medicinal King and so on. A cold wind whistled. The deeper they went, the colder it was. Rain Demon and old devil Hei Kui began to shiver again. Once their breath reached outside the cover of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, it would instantly turn into a tiny ice crystal. Looking around, the walls, floor and ceiling were covered with a thick layer of ice. The ice layer was already azure in color, no one knew how long it had already existed. Ye Chuan came back to his senses and inwardly circulating Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, he increased the might of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, completely isolating the severe cold of outside. Afterward, he went deeper along with Rain Demon and Hei Kui. Thinking about how Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was suffering in this Heavenly Yao Cave, his pace got faster and faster. Chapter 651: Cruel Torture All the way down, after several kilometers deep into Heavenly Yao Cave, the sounds coming from outside gradually vanished. It was so quiet inside Heavenly Yao Cave that they could hear their heartbeat. At the same time, it also became colder inside the cave. Even with the protection of Heaven Concealing Heaven, their eyebrows were vaguely frozen. Breathing also became difficult as if the air had already solidified here. Every step took a lot of effort. Rain Demon and the puppet doll Hei Kui continuously tremble, but they still forcibly persisted. On the contrary, Ye Chuan who was walking in the front almost unable to persist. In these past few days, Ye Chuan¡¯s divine sense had become advanced by leaps and bounds, but his body had become extremely weak. Now, urging Heaven Concealing Umbrella to resist the cold, his vitality was getting lesser and lesser. ¡°Your Excellency, are you okay?¡± Rain Demon worriedly asked. This was the most dangerous action in recent times. There was no strong enemies and restriction in Heavenly Yao Cave, it was just unimaginably cold, making people find it hard to advance. If this goes on, then they might not be able to advance in the end, turning into an ice sculpture. This place basically didn¡¯t need any guards. If ordinary people intruded this place, then without the cover of protective treasures like Heaven Concealing Umbrella, they would be frozen stiff before long! ¡°I¡¯m fine, I can still go on, heard that, what is that sound?¡± Ye Chuan exhaled a mouthful of air and vaguely heard some strange noises. The three men erected their ears and listened carefully for a while. That strange sounds were coming from the depths of Heavenly Yao Cave. Those noises resembled the sound of iron chains being dragged on the ground. ¡°Zixia, it¡¯s Zixia!¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit was invigorated. No one knew where he got the strength from, he suddenly strode forward, even started to run while shouting. Those strange sounds coming from the depths of Heavenly Yao Cave became clearer as he advanced. The coldness of Heavenly Yao Cave was astonishing, how was Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was imprisoned here still alive? Rain Demon and Hei Kuo looked at each other. They were worried, but they didn¡¯t have much time to think now, they could just rush after Ye Chuan. Slowly, the sounds of iron chain became clearer, and after more than a thousand meters, an astonishing scene appeared in front of these three people. At the end of Heavenly Yao Cave, there was a pond with a radius of five meters, where hot underground springs would gush out from underground. The springs coming from the depth of the underground was very hot, heatwaves could be felt from far away, however, that was only at the moment when the spring gushed out. In the next moment, after coming into contact with the coldness of Heavenly Yao Cave, the spring would instantly turn into cold water. A woman with long hair was imprisoned in this pond. Her four limbs were fixed to the surrounding cliff using arm-thick rune chains. Just her head was barely outside the water level. When the boiling hot underground spring gushed out, she would feel like she was burned by a raging fire, she could even smell the smell of burning; when the underground spring cooled and splashed down, thoroughly drenching her head, she felt like her entire body was frozen. This repeated again and again, and she was forced to continuously endure this torture of ice and fire. Even the harshest torture in this world was just so-so in front of this. The woman who was imprisoned in the pond was already in a daze and her head was drooped down. She was already very weak. Occasionally, she would subconsciously pull the rune chains wrapped around her body. ¡°Zixia¡­¡± Ye Chuan shouted loudly and just when he was about to rush over to save her, he suddenly felt intense danger and stopped his steps. Following his gaze, Rain Demon and Hei Kui behind him also noticed a humanoid statue in front of this pond. This was an old man. He appeared to be very, very old. His face was completely filled with wrinkles and his hair was completely white, in addition, his beard had already reached his chest level. He was wearing a simple white robe. He was empty-handed, no treasure could be seen around him. He was just quietly sitting cross-legged on the ground. It seemed he had broken into Heavenly Yao Cave long ago and after sitting here to rest, he no longer god up. The severe coldness in the cave made him look lifelike, preserving his expression and action before his death. His face was calm like sleeping. ¡°Your Excellency, what¡¯s wrong?¡± The old devil Hei Kui asked in confusion. He didn¡¯t know why Ye Chuan suddenly stopped. It was just an ice sculpture, was there any need to fear? They had forcibly crashed their way through here, they had even killed two Peak Daoist Master realm heavily armored guards at the entrance of Heavenly Yao Hall, why should they fear this trifling ice sculpture? Rain Demon didn¡¯t utter a word, but he had a solemn expression with a frown. He also vaguely felt somewhat ill at ease. But, what exactly was wrong, he was unable to see at the moment. He was similarly Peak Daoist Master realm, in terms of cultivation base, he might be a bit superior to Ye Chuan, but, when it comes to experience and insight, this first-rate assassin was inferior to Ye Chuan. Even looking throughout the entire Wilderness World, there might not be a single person who was more experienced and knowledgeable than Ye Chuan. ¡°This is not an ice sculpture, rather a living person, the true guard of Heavenly Yao cave!¡± Ye Chuan replied, looking extremely solemn. Rain Demon and Hei Kui behind him couldn¡¯t discern, but he sensed a wisp of very weak aura of life from this frozen old man. This was definitely a real ice sculpture. In other words, the person before their eyes wasn¡¯t a dead person, rather a living extremely powerful expert! Although the coldness within Heavenly Yao Cave was astonishing, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was still alive. That was because the underground spring was continuously gushing out, and the water in the pond was not frozen. The old man sitting cross-legged on the ground, however, was still alive without the protection of any treasure, guarding Heavenly Yao Cave with such an extreme environment, he had to be a super expert. Ye Chuan¡¯s heart became heavier and heavier. Even after observing carefully for a while, he could only see that this old man was unusual, but he couldn¡¯t see through his cultivation realm. That unfathomable feeling made them feel invisible pressure! Crack, crack¡­, cracking sounds resounded. Cracks began to appear on the layer of ice above this old man. This old man who seemed to have already died was not truly dead like Ye Chuan had expected. On the contrary, his vitality flourished and a majestic energy fluctuation rippled within his body. This energy fluctuation was far superior to any Half Sage realm experts Rain Demon and Hei Kui knew. It was directly comparable to Sage Realm Octopus Empress imprisoned in the ancient grave world. This was a Sage Realm expert! The trio of Ye Chuan simultaneously stepped back in great shock. Ye Chuan and Rain Demon were somewhat fine, they could barely cope with this pressure, but Hei Kui who had attached himself to a puppet doll was just a Rank 3 Daoist Master realm cultivator at his peak, he directly fell to the ground unable to endure this pressure. Without making a move, just the energy fluctuation he released made other people tremble! Chapter 652: Heavenly Yao Elder The energy fluctuation of this old man was becoming more and more terrifying. In the end, the layer of ice within the entire Heavenly Yao Cave began to crack. Among these three people, the cultivation of the old devil Hei Kui was the shallowest. He already was unable to keep standing and fell to the ground. Under the terrifying might of this old man, he was unable to move. Ye Chuan and Rain Demon were barely standing, but they were trembling continuously as if they were carrying a big invisible mountain. The energy fluctuation of this old man who was quietly sitting for an unknown number of years in Heavenly Yao Cave continuously rose as if it was boundless. Impossible! How can there be a Sage Realm expert here? Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion greatly changed. He had meticulously planned this action and all along the way they didn¡¯t encounter any danger, making them relax their vigilance a bit. But, he had never thought that they would encounter such a powerful opponent here. After roaring in his heart, Ye Chuan crazily circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, activating Heaven Concealing Umbrella in his hand. This was a body protecting treasure which had accompanied him to sweep through the Wilderness World in his previous life. It quickly black light which condensed into black mist, protecting these three people. The energy fluctuation of this old man was like a fierce wild, whistling throughout Heavenly Yao Cave. But, this fierce wild dispersed after coming into contact with black mist around these three people. The black mist continuously fluctuated under the fierce wind, but didn¡¯t disperse, continued to linger around these three people. Slowly, this black mist was spread out, wanting to envelop the entire Heavenly Yao Cave! In this life, Ye Chuan began cultivating from the scratch, in addition, his physical body had gotten a lot weaker because of refining Yinyang Life Wheel these past few days, thus, his current strength was incomparable to his past life¡¯s strength when he dominated the entire Wilderness World, as a result, he was far from being able to display the true might of Heaven Concealing Umbrella. But even like that, they were able to resist the pressure of this old man. Heaven Concealing Umbrella once again played a vital role. Without the protection of this treasure, not to mention these three people would have already frozen stiff, they would have been crushed by the invisible pressure of this old man. The means of people who had already cultivated to the Sage Ream were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. They didn¡¯t need to personally make a move, just their energy fluctuation was enough to kill a person, even a thought or a gaze could inflict serious injuries to the opponent! ¡°Once Heaven is Concealed, No one Fight for Mastery! What a good Heaven Concealing Umbrella!¡± The old man sitting cross-legged on the ground finally opened his eyes and resurrected from an ice sculpture. He first looked at Heaven Concealing Umbrella, then set his eyes on Ye Chuan. His eyes were deep, and like a vast starry sky, they were filled with vicissitudes of life. Just his one glace made Ye Chuan and others feel like they were losing consciousness and their present and past lives appeared in their minds. In front of this old man, they had no secret. When they came back to their senses, all three were drenched with sweat, and as if they had relived their past and present, they also had the aura of vicissitude. ¡°Who are you?¡± Ye Chuan was greatly shocked. He also felt unprecedented danger. In front of this awakened old man, he actually felt like he couldn¡¯t even resist, and also felt like all his techniques and treasures were useless. As long as the other party went all out, Heaven Concealing Umbrella in his hand wouldn¡¯t be able to resist, he couldn¡¯t even hide his secrets. This feeling was very uncomfortable, making Ye Chuan, this former Heaven Concealing Great Sage, feel fear. Even when facing that peerless yao beast Octopus Empress before, he had not felt like this. Even Ye Chaun was like this, no need to mention Rain Demon and Hei Kui. The performance of Rain Demon was still slightly better, he could barely keep standing, as for Hei Kui whose cultivation was very shallow, he was completely prostrating on the ground, looking at this old man with unprecedented fear. Over! Even after carefully planning for so long, and exhausting time and power to come here, in the end, they reached the dead end, even returning alive was impossible! Ye Chuan¡¯s heart was filled with bitterness. The heart of Rain Demon and Hei Kui was also heavy. Encountering other experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, no matter how bad it was, they would still be able to escape with life, but in front of this unfathomable old man, they three didn¡¯t even have the thoughts of resistance. It was impossible to do anything, everything was in the hands of the other party. Such a severe cold coupled with a heaven-defying terrifying Sage Realm expert personally guarding this palace, who under the heaven could break in here? Ye Chuan¡¯s heart got heavier and heavier, knowing he had still underestimated Heavenly Yao Sect. After millions of years, Cloud Mist Sect had declined, but Heavenly Yao Sect had gotten stronger and stronger, becoming the foremost sect under the heaven. This was not simply a fluke. If Cloud Mist Sect had such a heaven-defying expert guarding the rear, then who would dare bully the sect, moreover, how could it decline? ¡°Tian Tongzi pays respect to the Sage Monarch!¡± Just when the trio of Ye Chuan lost color, considering they would die here for sure, the old man suddenly flicked the ice and dust from his sleeves, then respectfully bowed to Ye Chuan. That majestic and astonishing pressure that made them practically unable to breathe also quickly dispersed, even the chill of Heavenly Yao Cave also gradually faded away. ¡°Tian Tongzi?¡± Ye Chuan was very surprised. Even after searching through the members of his past life, he couldn¡¯t remember such a person, ¡°Who exactly are you?¡± ¡°This subordinate used to be a cowherd in the mountain, later, this subordinate accidentally encountered Yao Empress, becoming Heavenly Yao Lad beside you. Sage Monarch not remembering this subordinate is very normal, but Sage Monarch¡¯s demeanor is forever inscribed in this subordinate¡¯s mind, never to forget¡± The old man respectfully replied. Perhaps, he was excited, or perhaps, he was feeling uncomfortable because he was frozen for a long period of time, he continuously trembled and his white robe was slowly fading away, ¡°This subordinated waited millions of years for you, Sage Monarch.¡± ¡°Did Yao Empress make you wait for me here, what had happened? What about Yao Empress? Where is she?¡± Ye Chuan was very excited as he quickly understood the identity of this old man. He immediately took a step forward and impatiently asked to clarify his doubts. But, the figure of the old man Tian Tongzi was fading away at an astonishing speed, transforming into specks of starlight. ¡°Sage Monarch, this subordinate¡¯s vitality is already exhausted, I am unable to accompany you, this is set aside by Yao Empress for you, she said she will be¡­ waiting for you¡­ in¡­¡± The old man quickly disappeared into the air, only his voice reverberated in Heavenly Yao Cave. His voice also got smaller and smaller, and the key points couldn¡¯t be heard. Ding, a jade pendant fell beside Ye Chuan. In the past, after Ye Chuan was trapped in God Burial Valley, this old man was ordered to wait for Ye Chuan¡¯s return here. In order to extend his life as much as possible, he specially used a great technique to arrange a frozen formation to seal himself, yearning for that day when Ye Chuan returned. The result, after waiting for millions of years, Ye Chuan¡¯s reincarnation was finally here, but he had long exhausted his vitality, leaving only a hint of divine sense incarnation which completely disappeared in a short moment after unsealing the formation, leaving greater doubts and a small jade pendant for Ye Chuan. Chapter 653: Triumphant Escape Ye Chuan picked up the jade pendant fallen on the ground and felt ice-cold. The front of this jade pendant depicted green bamboos swaying leisurely. This was the real form of Blue Eyed Yao Empress, also was her symbol; on the backside of this jade pendant was thickly dotted lines, which resembled some kinds of runes, but upon a careful look, it again resembled a very complicated map. ¡°Yao Empress, wait for me, I will come to find you!¡± Ye Chuan muttered to himself and put away the jade pendant with determination. The last words of that white robe old man, Tian Tongzi, already made it clear. Blue Eyed Yao Empress hadn¡¯t died, was waiting somewhere for him. Perhaps, she was in a certain place of Outer World from where she couldn¡¯t return, or perhaps, someone imprisoned her, waiting for his rescue. At the last moment, although Tian Tongzi had no time to clearly tell where Blue Eyed Yao Empress was, just this news was already enough to make him excited. Although he couldn¡¯t see through this jade pendant for the time being, as long as he had sufficient time, Ye Chuan believed that he would be able to see through it one day and reunite with Blue Eyed Yao Empress. After reincarnation, this was the first time he got any news about his former followers. Blue Eyed Yao Empress was not dead, but what about that old rabbit Ghost Hand Medicinal King who established Cloud Mist Sect? Was he also still alive and waiting for him somewhere? Nowadays, it was very hard to find true experts in Wilderness World. Even Half Sage realm experts could summon wind and rain. As long as he found any one of his former followers, who could stop his Yao Beast Legion in Wilderness World? Ye Chuan was so excited that he couldn¡¯t wait to enter seclusion and comprehend the secrets of this jade pendant. But, he had more important things to do now. After putting away the jade pendant, he rushed to the pond at the end of Heavenly Yao Cave, then using his Dragon Slaying Flying Swords, those rune chains that were binding Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia were cut off and he saved her. Under the intense torment, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had long lost her consciousness. Her complexion was pale and her body was very weak. She was already at her last breathe. ¡°Zixia, I harmed you!¡± Looking at the current appearance of Hong Zixia, Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes turned. At this moment, his anger towards White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi and Elder Tianqing reached an unprecedented level. In any case, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was still the personal disciple of White Haired Heavenly Empress, but, just because of one mistake, Heavenly Empress was so ruthless, locking her in this kind of place where she was tormented day and night by ice and fire. Ordinary people wouldn¡¯t torture the arch-enemy who killed their father like this. This White Haired Heavenly Empress was the real great devil! Ye Chuan was very angry. Now, he had no feelings towards Heavenly Yao Sect. Current Heavenly Yao Sect was no longer Heavenly Yao Sect under the rule of Blue Eyed Yao Empress, there was no longer any nostalgia. The fact proved that choosing Cloud Mist Sect after reincarnating was a wise choice. Although Cloud Mist Sect also had villains like Third Elder Bai Yanhu, there were also Great Elder Zhu Guohong, Second Elder Nangong Ren and other higher-ups with kindness, in addition, there were Zhu Sijua, Zhao Dazhi, Nan Tiandu and other loyal fellow apprentices, unlike Heavenly Yao Sect which had already become such a ruthless sect that only looked benefit. ¡°Your Excellency, since we have already saved her, what should we do now?¡± The old devil Hei Kui walked over. At this moment, Rain Demon and he finally came back to their senses. The series of things that happened just a moment ago was honestly too shocking. Even now, these two were still unable to completely calm down. A Sage Realm heaven-defying expert, an ancient existence who could kill all of them with a flick of his finger actually bowed respectfully to Ye Chuan, moreover, called himself this subordinate. Who was that old man Tian Tongzi? What about Ye Chuan, who was he? Rain Demon and the old devil Hei Kui were greatly shocked, even doubted that everything that just happened was a dream. They always had doubts regarding to the true identity of Ye Chuan. Although Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation was not high, talking about experience, insight, calmness, courage and strategies, he was far superior to younger generation disciples. Without tempering oneself with countless stormy waves and without experiencing the test of corpse mountain and sea of blood, it was impossible to have this kind of strength of character. There were many old fellows who had cultivated for several tens of thousands of years, even the old devils that existed for several hundred thousand years, all didn¡¯t necessarily have this kind of capabilities. Excluding the genius that wouldn¡¯t appear even once in millions of years, Ye Chuan¡¯s current circumstance had only one explanation, i.e. reincarnation and cultivating. Many people were well aware of reincarnation, merely, no one laid it bare. In Wilderness World, there were a lot of such cases. Because of all kinds of reasons, many experts used a secret technique to reincarnate. Originally, Rain Demon and the old devil Hei Kui believed that Ye Chuan was a powerful Half Sage realm expert in his previous life, or even a powerful Sage realm expert. But, now as it seemed, they had far underestimated Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan¡¯s relation with Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress was not shallow, even that old man Tian Tongzi whose cultivation was heaven-defying was very respectful in front of Ye Chuan, such a personage, what kind of existence was he? Hei Kui was greatly shocked and couldn¡¯t help imagining Ye Chuan¡¯s previous identity. The heart of well-read Rain Demon shook, suddenly recalling a legendary figure. He almost asked on the spot, but he swallowed down those words. Merely, he looked at Ye Chuan was incomparable excitement. If Ye Chuan truly was that legendary figure, then he honestly was too fortunate. In the future, it would be difficult to not become a heaven-defying expert. Recalling Peerless Style Technique Ye Chuan imparted him, Rain Demon was excited and was more and more sure of his guess. At that time, Ye Chuan had said that Peerless Style Technique was nothing, in the future, he would impart merit laws even Sage realm experts could cultivate. At that time, although Rain Demon was happy, he inevitably had some doubts, wondering whether Ye Chuan was just exaggerating to him or not. Where could he find the merit laws even the Sage Realm could cultivate? But Now, rain Demon had no doubts! ¡°Let¡¯s go, go to the transmission formation at the foot of the mountain. Inform Nan Tiandu, Rhodes and others to withdraw immediately!¡± Ye Chuan made a prompt decision without wasting any time. He then quickly torn off his robe and bound Hong Zixia on his back. Afterward, he turned away. After that old man finished his task, that wisp of divine sense disappeared, and the Ice Bound Formation inside Heavenly Yao Cave also stopped. The terrifying severe cold also rapidly dissipated. It wouldn¡¯t take long for someone to notice the unusualness of this place. If they didn¡¯t leave now, then once White Haired Heavenly Empress rushed over or Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts blocked the entrance, then it would be hard to escape! ¡°Okay!¡± Hei Kui and Rain Demon followed Ye Chuan and the three ran faster and faster. Just after they rushed out of Heavenly Yao Cave, the old devil Hei Kui shot an arrow. That arrow whistled towards the sky and exploded high in the sky. Chapter 654: Breaking Through a Tight Encirclemen t On the Heavenly Yao Square, there was a bloodbath. After the initial confusion, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples who were caught unguarded came back to their senses and began to gather together to organize a fierce counterattack. Soon, the disciples of various sects that were taking advantage of this moment to fish in troubled waters suffered a head-on blow. Not a single devil who had sneaked in escaped unpunished, the light result was getting captured alive and the heavy result was being hacked to death on the spot. Old Demon of Mount Yin who was taking advantage of this chaotic warfare to go on a killing spree also quickly felt pressure and his maneuvering space became smaller and smaller. In the end, he had to squeeze together with Nan Triandu, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King. Among the five great experts beside Ye Chuan, other than Rain Demon who had followed Ye Chuan to go to Heavenly Yao Cave to save a person, all other four were besieged by Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s people. Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts were led by White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi who ruled Heavenly Yao Sect! Under the attack of the latter, Nan Tiandu and others were dripping with blood. Although they similarly were Half Sage Realm, Nan Tiandu, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King together were not the opponent of White Haired Heavenly Empress alone, even the addition of Old Demon of Mount Yin had no effect. At this moment, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples were just surrounding these four without attacking. They watched Heavenly Empress fighting against these four experts by herself while cheering. The cultivation of White Haired Heavenly Empress was far beyond the people¡¯s expectations. She seemed to have already reached the pinnacle of Peak Half Sage Realm, infinitely close to Sage Realm. Against such an existence, even Peak Half Sage Realm Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng might also be inferior. Looking throughout the Wilderness World, she might be counted as one of the very best peerless experts. Nan Tiandu and others looked pale, their heart was incomparably heavy. Even with them together, they were not the opponent, and this was only White Haired Heavenly Empress, other experts of Heavenly Yao Sect had yet to make a move. If this goes on, then they four will die here, even if they wished to escape, there was nowhere to escape! At that moment, an arrow whistled towards the sky from the direction of Heavenly Yao Cave and exploded in the sky! The eyes of these four people shone with excitement. This was the signal they agreed with Ye Chuan. That arrow meant that Ye Chuan had already succeeded in saving a person. According to the plan, they could retreat without fighting now. ¡°Brothers, quick¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin was excited, and immediately, countless vines appeared within the radius of dozens of meters. After the fierce battle, Old Demon of Mount Yin was already exhausted and also injured seriously, but, upon seeing Ye Chuan had succeeded, his spirit lit up and used all his strength to use his deadly move again. This time, he didn¡¯t want to attack, just wanted to bring up the rear to retreat, nothing more. ¡°Quick, use all your strength to stall this White-Haired devil. Brothers, Big Senior Apprentice Brother is about to succeed, quickly use all your strength to stall her, preserve for a bit more!¡± Before Old Demon of Mount Yin finished speaking, Nan Tiandu brazenly stepped forward and gritting his teeth, he launched even fiercer attacks at White Haired Heavenly Empress. Being in the tight encirclement, in addition, facing a peak expert like White Haired Heavenly Empress, how could they easily talk about escaping? On the contrary, they needed to attack desperately while saying they wanted to win some time for Ye Chuan. Like that, Heavenly Empress might be duped, which might give them a chance to break through this encirclement. ¡°Kill, brothers, preserve for a little while!¡± ¡°Go all out against this devil, kill!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others quickly responded understanding the meaning of Nan Tiandu and rushed up, toughening their scalp. But, not only their attack didn¡¯t succeed, on the contrary, White Haired Heavenly Empress sent them flying. After a hard battle, Nan Tiandu and others were all the more exhausted and their injuries also got heavier and heavier. White Haired Heavenly Empress, however, was at ease. Not to mention her powerful Great Wish Technique, her every action was a killing move. Fortunately, Nan Tiandu¡¯s such words really duped White Haired Heavenly Empress. After sending them flying away, she didn¡¯t chase them, rather flew away straight towards Heavenly Yao Cave. Her speed was very fast, she disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only her cold voice, ¡°All those who run amuck in my Heavenly Yao Sect, kill¡­ without¡­ pardon¡­¡± Kill¡­ kill¡­ kill¡­ Even after White Haired Heavenly Empress had already disappeared, the word ¡°kill¡± reverberated throughout the Heavenly Yao Square. The guests of various large sects felt chill, from the senior experts to the ordinary young disciples, all felt an incomparable chill. A centipede dies but never falls down, moreover, Heavenly Yao Sect still hadn¡¯t died yet, merely, their Grand Sacrifice Competition had a sudden disturbance, nothing more. Their strength to look down upon others still exists. The very first person to come forward against them would be killed for sure! The guests of various sects were tense. They were looking at Nan Tiandu¡¯s group of four as if they were already four dead people. Although White Haired Heavenly Empress had left, Heavenly Yao Square still had many Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples, and there was no lack of powerful experts among them. Although Nan Tiandu¡¯s group was powerful, and three of them were actually Half Sage Realm experts, they were already exhausted and injured at this moment. Other than waiting for death, what else could they do? People admired Nan Tiandu and others¡¯ courage, but they felt that their action was stupid. They felt that Nan Tiandu and others were just throwing an egg against a rock and sighed in pity in succession. Naturally, there were also many people who took pleasure in other people¡¯s misfortune. They were waiting to see how Nan Tiandu and others died. This time, among the sects that came from afar to participate in Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Grand Sacrifice Competition, there were Ancient Sword Sect, Cold Spring Sect and other large sects that had been continuously pursuing Heavenly Yao Sect, and there were also small sects that attached themselves to Heavenly Yao Sect, all of them had their own thoughts, but soon, they discovered that they were wrong. After White Haired Heavenly Empress left, Nan Tiandu and others became all the more excited and their fighting spirit rose, especially Old Demon of Mount Yin, he laughed heartily and quickly took out some pills from his bosom and threw them on the ground. Instantly, everything within the radius of 100 meters was covered in thick black mist, then screaming, crying and bone-breaking sounds suddenly resounded. After this black mist was dispersed by the wind, people discovered that Nan Tiandu and others had already disappeared without a trace. Some people reacted quickly. They jumped onto a tall structure to look and saw that Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King were already outside Heavenly Yao Square, killing their way through the tight encirclement. They were supporting each other while rushing towards the transmission formation near the gate. All along the way, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples would rush forward to intercept, but since those groups didn¡¯t have enough strong opponents, Nan Taindu and others would either bypass them, or directly crush them. At that time, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples in Heavenly Yao Square finally came to their senses and stepping on their flying sword, they chased after them. ¡°So powerful, those four, who exactly are they?¡± ¡°I dare say, they are definitely not some people of Overseas World, also aren¡¯t the disciples of that something Bellowing Waves Sect, and they must have a big background! How can an ordinary sect have three powerful Half Sage Realm experts?¡± ¡°Yes, they must have a big background! They say that Nan Tiandu is not the most powerful among them. There furthermore is a Big Senior Apprentice Brother, who kind of character is he?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­.. The guests of various sects made all sorts of comments. Some people were still standing on tall structures, some, however, boldly followed, wanting to know who exactly Nan Tiandu and others were, and also see how they would break out of Heavenly Yao Sect! Chapter 655: The Villain Blocked the Way Nan Tiandu and others happened to encounter Ye Chuan and Rain Demon who rushed out of Heavenly Yao Cave halfway through their escape. Then, they grouped up and ran together. As for the old devil Hei Kui who was attached to a puppet doll, he was already stored back into Cyan Lotus Space. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, is Zixia all right?¡± Looking at unconscious Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia on Ye Chuan¡¯s back, Nan Tiandu asked. ¡°Her life isn¡¯t in danger, but her body is very weak, we will talk more after returning to Cloud Mist Sect, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan glanced at the troops pursuing Nan Tiandu and others and increased his speed. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Jin Teluo, go in the front and open up the path, I will intercept at the back!¡± ¡°Kakaka, then I will guard His Excellency, go!¡± The group quickly divided the work and quickly followed Ye Chuan. Diamond Ape King quickly rushed to the front and brandished his huge and heavy rod. He was responsible for opening up the path. Average Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples either died or were left with one breath under his rod. Old Demon of Mount Yin closely followed Ye Chuan, alertly looking out for Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s surprise attack. Plague Archfiend Abasi was the most injured among them. He was bleeding continuously. Only with the help of Rain Demon, he was barely able to keep up the pace and didn¡¯t fall behind. Nan Tiandu¡¯s injuries were also not light. Bone could be seen from his left shoulder¡¯s injury and similarly was bleeding, but in order to break out of the encirclement, he resolutely decided to bring up the rear. More and more people joined the pursuing troops. Among them, some used bows and arrows, some used flying swords to attack them from distance. There was no lack of powerful later stage Daosit Master Realm experts among them. Fortunately, there was no super expert of Half Sage Realm for the time being, otherwise, their party would have been in trouble. Still, these Daoist Master Realm disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were already troublesome enough. More and more were pouring out from all directions and using all kinds of techniques in succession to intercept them. At this moment, the situation of Ye Chuan¡¯s group who were just over 3,000 meters away from the ancient transmission formation was getting worse. ¡°Rhodes, don¡¯t bother about me, go and help Tiandu, quick!¡± Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t turned his head, but his powerful divine sense had already let him know the situation around him, thus, he promptly made an appropriate order. With more and more people joining the pursuing troops, already severely injured and exhausted Nan Tiandu alone wasn¡¯t be able to deal with them. Under the attack of the pursuing troops, he was in danger. Several times, he was almost drowned by the pursuing troops. If he fell into the encirclement of these ferocious experts, then no matter how doughty he was, he would be powerless. ¡°Yes!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin accepted the order. He quickly turned around and helped Nan Tiandu. A large number of vines appeared from the surrounding area, blocking the path of the pursuing troops. The vines bound their legs, strangled their throat or pierced through their chest. Chaotic Vine Dance! Old Demon of Mount Yin made a ferocious move, naturally, the strength of his attack was not comparable to Nan Tiandu¡¯s attack, but its lethality was astonishing. Even more important point was, his move covered a large area. When the pursuing troops¡¯ legs were suddenly bound by vines, some powerful experts were able to forcibly break through these dense vines. But, Nan Tiandu¡¯s powerful fist was waiting for them, one fist wiped them out. With the help of Old Demon of Mount Yin, Nan Tiandu was able to relax a little, and his powerful combat power was truly displayed. Even though he was seriously injured, he was still a powerful Half Sage Realm expert, far from the opponent Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts could deal with. After the cooperative attack of these two experts, the pursuing troops were stopped for the time being as Ye Chuan¡¯s groups rushed towards the ancient transmission formation. Ye Chuan who was rushing in the front secretly sighed in relief upon seeing Nan Tiandu and Old Demon of Mount Yin were able to stop the pursuing troops. After the mad run, they were getting closer and closer to the ancient transmission formation, but looking in front of the transmission formation, Ye Chuan¡¯s heart sank as he saw several familiar figures. In front of the transmission formation, a group of people was already waiting, the leader of this group was none other than Elder Tianqing. Behind him, there was Son of Heaven Jin Hong, Black and White Elders, and others! Diamond Ape King who was rushing in the front suddenly stopped and looked solemn. Like Nan Tiandu, his injuries were also not light, his entire body was bloody, but, as the leader of Diamond Ape Clan, he forcibly continued to fight fiercely. Although Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s average disciples didn¡¯t enter his eyes, Black and White Elders, these two Half Sage Realm experts, were different. They gave him a strong pressure and intense feeling of danger. There were three Half Sage Realm experts on his side, but Plague Archfiend Abasi was already so heavily injured that he couldn¡¯t fight, and Nan Tiandu and himself was also injured heavily and exhausted; On the side of Elder Tianqing, there were two Half Sage Realm experts, one less in comparison, but since they were full of energy, suddenly rushing up to fight them head-on, wouldn¡¯t that just be running into their trap? Diamond Ape King¡¯s heart became heavy, neediness to mention others, everyone looked solemn and had to gather together. Soon, the pursuing troops behind caught up and surrounded Ye Chuan¡¯s group. After drawing White Haired Heavenly Empress away using a strategy, Nan Tiandu¡¯s party had successfully broken out of the encirclement and grouped together with Ye Chuan, but when they were less than a hundred meters away from the transmission formation, they were forced to stop. Clap, clap, clap, Elder Tianqing sneered while clapping, ¡°Brilliant, amazing, Nan Batian, you all are honestly too amazing. With just several people, you all actually caused such a big commotion in my Heavenly Yao Sect, in addition, not to mention you all stole Heaven Concealing Umbrella, the treasure sealed in Heavenly Yao Hall, you all furthermore burned down Heavenly Yao Hall to lure away my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts, then intruded Heavenly Yao Cave to save a person, tsk tsk tsk, so amazing! Unfortunately, even if you all are so powerful, you all are destined to die here today, not a single one will escape! Among the six of you, three of you are actually Half Sage Realm, I am honestly somewhat curious, who exactly are you all? Why did you take the risk to break into our Heavenly Yao Sect to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia?¡± Elder Tianqing sneered. His gaze was sharp like a knife and his killing intent was soaring. When Heavenly Yao Hall suddenly caught fire and Nan Tiandu suddenly made a move against White Haired Heavenly Empress, he felt that something was wrong. This kind of creating diversion method was anything creative, but daring to use this method in Heavenly Yao Sect, not many people had such ability in the world. Originally, after receiving the orders of Heavenly Empress, he was also prepared to rush to the burning Heavenly Yao Hall to put out the fire, but halfway through the way, he temporarily changed his mind and calling a group of experts, he watched over transmission formation near the entrance gate. Sure enough, after a little while, Ye Chuan¡¯s group rushed over and were stopped. What a crafty, cunning old fox! Ye Chuan¡¯s gaze became sharp, but his heart sank more and more. Everything had basically gone according to his plan, he rescued Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and broke through the encirclement almost smoothly, but in such a long calculation, he had never expected to be blocked by Elder Tianqing at the crucial final moment. Although his cultivation was not up to much, in the aspect of playing politics and schemes, he absolutely was top-notch, no wonder he could stand out among so many experts of Heavenly Yao Sect and become Deacon Elder. Now, since Black and White Elders along with other experts of Heavenly Yao Sect was blocking their way, what should they do? The heart of Ye Chuan¡¯s group sunk further and became tense. If they gritted their teeth and tried to forcibly breakout, then that would just be running into the Elder Tianqing¡¯s trap. They would suffer the attack of Black and White Elders, these super experts, along with other experts. They wouldn¡¯t even have a chance to forcibly rush over to the transmission formation but would absolutely have to pay a big price. Among six, perhaps, not even half would return to Cloud Mist Sect. But, if they waited in vain like this, that was even worse. More and more experts of Heavenly Yao Sect were rushing over upon hearing the news. Even more frightening matter was, White Haired Heavenly Empress who was lured to Heavenly Yao Cave could also catch up at any time, at that time, who could endure her wrath? Who could stop her? Chapter 545: Must Kill Order On the Small Yao Lake with rippling waves, a Heavenly Yao Boat was advancing rapidly straight towards Heavenly Yao Cave on the other end. On the boat, a graceful woman with white hair was standing. Her exquisite face was cold without any emotion fluctuation, but her eyes which were staring at Heavenly Yao Cave far away without blinking unintentionally showed a hint of restlessness and anxiousness. When Elder Tianqing led people to stop Ye Chuan¡¯s party, White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, however, had come to Heavenly Yao Lake. As the deduction of Ye Chuan, after the sudden changes in Heavenly Yao Cave¡¯s coldness, White Haired Heavenly Empress who was fighting against Nan Tiandu and others in Heavenly Yao Square sensed it, in addition, Nan Tiandu and others just said that they would use all their strength to stall her. Although she knew that that was very likely to be their plot, she had no choice but to leave Heavenly Yao Square and go straight towards Heavenly Yao Cave. Looking around, the scenery of rippling Small Yao Lake looked beautiful. It was no different from the past, but White Haired Heavenly Empress quickly sensed something unusual. The ancient restrictions that covered the entire Small Yao Lake were dispersing, and the speed of dispersion was getting faster and faster. ¡°Heavenly Empress, it seems¡­ seems like the restriction power is fading, look¡­¡± On the helm of the boat, a Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s guard was standing. His cultivation base was just Rank 1 Daoist Master Realm. In Heavenly Yao Sect that had countless experts, he was nobody, but if he was in an average sect, then he would be pretty good. He similarly sensed the change in Small Yao Sect¡¯s restrictions. Following his gaze, White Haired Heavenly Empress saw a dark thing floating up from the bottom of the lake, which resembled a part of the sunken boat. In the past, anything that entered Small Yao Lake would sink. Other than this specially made Heavenly Yao Boat, no other boat could sail through this lake. But now, the parts of sunken ships were floating everywhere, what did this mean? The complexion of White Haired Heavenly Empress changed slightly. She determined that the ancient restrictions that existed for tens of thousands of years were truly disappearing. Something drastic must have happened in Heavenly Yao Cave. ¡°Heavenly Empress, how¡­, how can this happen? Isn¡¯t only Heavenly Yao Boat able to float on Small Yao Lake?¡± The guard at the helm asked, feeling very restless. He had been responsible for guarding and driving Heavenly Yao Boats for at least 10 years. He had sailed through Small Yao Lake for many years but had never seen this kind of circumstance. Today, White Haired Heavenly Empress suddenly came to go to Heavenly Yao Cave on the other side of the lake, this made this guard overjoyed. Originally, as a small commander, he didn¡¯t need to personally take the helm, just arranging a guard was enough. But, being able to get closer with Heavenly Empress who would normally stay in seclusion, such an opportunity could never be bought with money, who would let it slip? The small commander thought that a pie had fallen in his lap today. After serving White Haired Heavenly Empress, his future might be smooth or he might even ascend to heaven in one step. But now, he felt very restless for some unknown reason, and this feeling was getting stronger and stronger. ¡°Can it be¡­?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress was still expressionless and coldly said, ¡°This doesn¡¯t explain anything, for our Heavenly Yao Sect, you jump into the water in person to test.¡± ¡°Heavenly Empress, spare me, Heavenly Empress, spare my life¡­¡± The small commander turned pale and begged for mercy while kneeling. Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, White Haired Heavenly Empress waved her hand and that small commander was sent flying, then fell into the ice-cold lake. Afterward, the small commander struggled for a bit and was engulfed by the waves. Something has truly happened to the restrictions of this Small Yao Lake! Who secretly destroyed the foundation of Heavenly Yao Sect? White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s expression became even colder. She then suddenly jumped out and treaded on the waves. She was so anxious that she abandoned the Heavenly Yao Boat and directly flew towards Heavenly Yao Cave on the other end of Small Yao Lake. That was Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s forbidden area, it was also the place where the ancient restrictions of Small Yao Lake were located. Since there was a problem with these ancient restrictions, something must have drastically changed in Heavenly Yao Cave! Above rippling Small Yao Lake, a white figure flew rapidly, even faster than a flying sword. Although the cultivation of Heavenly Empress was heaven-defying, in the past, she also didn¡¯t dare to ignore the restrictions of Small Yao Lake, but now, since the restrictions were dispersing and she couldn¡¯t afford to waste time, she flew at her full speed. Even the later stage Daoist Master Realm experts wouldn¡¯t be able to clearly see her figure, could only see a hint of white light flashing past Small Yao Lake. After a few seconds, White Haired Heavenly Empress arrived at Heavenly Yao Cave on the other end of the lake. She then entered the cave without any hesitation, and ran all the way to the end of this cave and stopped. Afterward, taking a closer look, her complexion greatly changed. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who originally was imprisoned in the pool had disappeared. But, what she couldn¡¯t believe was, the ice sculpture that was known as Heavenly Yao Senior sitting cross-legged beside the pool had also disappeared. In addition, the severe coldness of Heavenly Yao Cave that could freeze even a Half Sage Realm expert in former days was quickly fading away. ¡°Impossible, this is impossible! Who did this, who¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress screamed. She was frightened and also furious. Imprisoning Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia here, this was not only a punishment, but it was also making her a bait to deal with State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. Now, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had suddenly disappeared, sabotaging her entire plan. But, even more serious matter was, Heavenly Yao Senior had also disappeared. He, however, was a Sage Realm expert who had been guarding Heavenly Yao Sect for millions of years. He was the support and the backing of Heavenly Yao Sect. Only successive Heavenly Empresses knew that there was such an expert in Heavenly Yao Sect. Heavenly Yao Senior had disappeared, in addition, the restrictions of Heavenly Yao Cave and Small Yao Lake were also disappearing rapidly, what did this mean? Could it be that Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s luck was truly coming to an end? Was the sect doomed to decline? White Haired Heavenly Empress was shocked and furious like never before. In addition, she felt ill at ease she had not felt for a long time and her heart was restless. This was something she had never felt after breaking through to Half Sage Realm. This made her even more disturbed, even was frightened. She then looked up and roared. ¡°All disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, heed my orders, no one is allowed to take even half a step out of the sect, spare no effort to capture those intruders who broke into my Heavenly Yao Cave, if anyone discovered any suspicious people, kill on the spot, whoever dares to resist, kill¡­¡± The voice of Heavenly Empress suddenly reverberated throughout the sky, spreading to every corner of Heavenly Yao Sect. Her voice was cold accompanied by dense killing intent and bellowing energy fluctuation. The ancient bell on Heavenly Yao Peak also rang on its own even though there was no wind, and its sounds became louder and louder, reaching every inch of land within Heavenly Yao Sect. Afterward, a rune soared towards the sky and exploded into sparks of bloody light after reaching a high altitude, and transformed into a huge ¡°Kill¡± word. Inside and outside Heavenly Yao Sect, all disciples shuddered and knelt down to accept the order. Even more experts of Heavenly Yao Sect who were in seclusion came out. Among them, there was no lack of seniors who had been in seclusion for over ten thousand years. Must Kill Order! The furious White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi issued a Must Kill Order. She wanted to kill those uninvited guests who had broken into Small Yao Lake at any cost. Chapter 656: Must Kill Order On the Small Yao Lake with rippling waves, a Heavenly Yao Boat was advancing rapidly straight towards Heavenly Yao Cave on the other end. On the boat, a graceful woman with white hair was standing.

She wanted to kill those uninvited guests who had broken into Small Yao Lake at any cost. Chapter 657: A Gleam of Hope White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi¡¯s voice resounded throughout the sky for a long time. In the vicinity of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s entrance gate, Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion suddenly changed and ordered without any hesitation, ¡°Kill, rush forward!¡± A red light flashed in Ye Chuan¡¯s hand as he took the initiative to rush forward while brandishing Iron Blooded Banner. Originally, he was still hesitant, worried that the head-on confrontation would be too costly for him. But now, he already had no choice. If they didn¡¯t make a move now and waited until White Haired Heavenly Empress arrived here, then perhaps, their entire team wouldn¡¯t be able to escape! ¡°Kill!¡± Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others roared and followed behind Ye Chuan, cooperating to forcibly breakthrough the blockade. ¡°Come, we have waited for you all for a long time.¡± Elder Tianqing sneered and under his order, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts standing behind him also rushed forward to meet Ye Chuan¡¯s group head-on, quickly stopping Ye Chuan¡¯s group. Especially two Half Sage Realm experts, Black and White Elders, they laughed while attacking ferociously. Nan Tiandu and Diamond Ape King who went against them were in danger. After hearing the news, more and more Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples besieged Ye Chuan¡¯s group. Ye Chuan¡¯s group was just less than 100 meters away from the transmission formation, but at such a distance, Ye Chuan¡¯s group was stopped. ¡°What a good Big Disciple, boy, I will take your life! After I capture you, I will see how that kid Nan Batian will run amuck!¡± A shadow suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chuan. He was holding a sharp sword with dense killing intent. His sword quickly stabbed straight towards Ye Chuan¡¯s heart, throat and other vital parts. Catching Ye Chuan off guard, that sowed almost pierced through Ye Chuan¡¯s heart. Son of Heaven Jin Hong who was standing behind Elder Tianqing suddenly made a deadly move. Two days ago, when he came to avenge Ouyang Huo, he felt that Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice Brother of Nan Tiandu, was not simple. However, even Black and White Elders were deceived by Ye Chuan¡¯s weak and emaciated appearance, at that time, he couldn¡¯t say anything. Now, he knew that his suspicious of at that were indeed correct, everyone was just being led by the nose. Although Nan Batian was hateful, this brat Ye Chuan should be killed even more. At a glance, he knew that Ye Chuan was the mastermind behind the scene! Jin Hong¡¯s sword moved faster and faster. Taking advantage of Ye Chuan¡¯s weak body, he went all out, one move was fiercer than others. He wanted to seriously injure Ye Chuan and take him hostage. At that time, he didn¡¯t need to fear that Nan Batian wouldn¡¯t be submissive. In the final match of Grand Sacrifice Competition, Jin Hong lost without any suspense. What¡¯s more, he lost in a complete mess, losing his face altogether. After breaking through to Half Sage Realm relying on the best quality Heaven Recovering Pill, he was already powerful enough. Although that was only a temporary state and he couldn¡¯t maintain that state for long, he already looked down upon outstanding heroes, leaving behind the disciples of other sects far behind the dust. However, beyond his expectation, he unexpectedly encountered Nan Tiandu, this demon! His breakthrough was just temporary, nothing more, however, Nan Taindu was a real Half Sage Realm expert, furthermore, ordinary Half Sage Realm experts couldn¡¯t compare to him. When Nan Tiandu released his seal and emitted his powerful energy fluctuation without any restriction, displaying his true power, everyone on and below the stage were stunned including Jin Hong. In less than three moves, he suffered a crushing defeat in the hands of Nan Tiandu and was forced to revert to his original state. All his words of before turned into a fart. Immediately afterward, witnessing the battle between Nan Tiandu and Heavenly Empress, Jin Hong received a big blow. It could be said that Nan Tiandu left an unforgettable shadow in his heart, which turned into a demon blocking his path of cultivation. Originally, Jin Hong thought that he would never be the opponent of Nan Tiandu throughout his life, and he wouldn¡¯t be able to personally avenge himself. But, the situation suddenly changed beyond everyone¡¯s expectation, now, Ye Chuan¡¯s group was besieged heavily and it was difficult for them to get out of this situation. At this moment, as long as he was able to capture Ye Chuan as a hostage, he didn¡¯t need to worry about Nan Tiandu not submitting. When the time comes, couldn¡¯t he do whatever he pleased to avenge himself? Jin Hong became excited and his attacks became even more ferocious. Weak Ye Chuan who was carrying Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia became delicious meat in his eyes. ¡°Surnamed Jin, want to take me hostage?¡± Ye Chuan sneered, his eyes, however, were lit up, suddenly thinking of a way to break out of this situation, and seeing a gleam of hope. Under the attacks of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts, Nan Tiandu and others were desperately fighting back. None of them could pull away to help him. It was also because of this point, Jin Hong dared to attack Ye Chuan at ease. Ye Chuan had to say that this fellow had a bit of gut and also strength, in addition, he was worthy of being the first Big Disciple of Heavenly Yao Sect, unfortunately, he was still too inexperienced! Beside Ye Chuan, a cyan light suddenly flashed and a Cow Demon appeared in front of them. ¡°Eh, this Big Senior Apprentice Brother of Nan Batian is a beast tamer?¡± ¡°So what if he is a beast tamer, isn¡¯t he still going to die? If his pet was a dragon or something, then there is a hope of breaking out of this encirclement, but, summoning a cow demon in this situation, isn¡¯t he humiliating himself and also courting death?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The on-looking guests of various sects commented in succession. Looking at the Evil Eyed Cow Demon beside Ye Chuan, they shook his head in unison. In Wilderness World, Evil Eyed Cow Demon was an ordinary yao beast. Although it bore the name of a yao beast, it couldn¡¯t even defeat a powerful hunter of the secular world. At the critical moment, summoning such a yao beast to stop Jin Hong¡¯s attack, that absolutely was a big joke? ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­, boy, is this all you got? If you have other techniques, then show all of them, hahahahaha¡­¡± Jin Hong was dumbfounded for a moment and laughed heartily. Elder Tianqing who was standing at the back, however, didn¡¯t laugh, he frowned as he vaguely felt a danger, but, he didn¡¯t know where this danger was coming from. When Jin Hong was laughing, the cyan light around Ye Chuan became bright and more and more Evil Eyed Cow Demons appeared. They rushed forward without fearing death. These trifling yao beasts actually launched a ferocious counterattack against Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts. Instantly, roars filled the sky and the scene became very chaotic. A single Evil Eyed Cow Demon was indeed not worth mentioning, although the cyan light beam its eyes emitted wasn¡¯t bad, unfortunately, the accuracy was too poor. It alone almost had no threat to a Daoist Master Realm expert. But, with several hundred of Evil Eyed Cow Demons suddenly appearing on the compact space and launching ferocious attacks, the situation was completely different. Although these light beams weren¡¯t deadly enough to threaten their lives, being caught off guard, the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect instinctively dodged. If they were facing ordinary opponents, this wouldn¡¯t have become a problem, they would have easily killed off all these Evil Eyed Cow Demon in no time and regrouped. Unfortunately, they were facing Ye Chuan, this expert who once was peerless. As long as they exposed a little flaw, it was enough! Chapter 658: You Are Just a Pawn Suddenly summoning a large group of Evil Eyed Cow Demon, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t intend to break out of this encirclement relying on these several hundred Yao Beast Legion. His real intention was the same as Son of Heaven Jin Hong, he wanted to capture a hostage. When Evil Eyed Cow Demons were still appearing, Ye Chuan flew towards Jin Hong. His physical body was very weak, in addition, he was carrying a person on his back, but, with twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans circulating crazily within his body, he instantly erupted with astonishing speed, and at the same time, he shouted, ¡°Rhodes!¡± ¡°Here, Your Excellency, I¡¯m coming!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin who was standing not far away quickly understood the meaning of Ye Chuan. He ignored the attacks of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts and rushed over. Then, along with his roar, a large number of vines appeared around Jin Hong, wanting to tie up his hands, legs and body, in addition, pierce his throat and chest. ¡°You dare, boy, you¡­¡± Jin Hong was shocked and also angry. He quickly understood the intention of Ye Chuan. Unfortunately, under the attacks of Evil Eyed Cow Demons and dealing with the vines that were trying to bind him, he didn¡¯t have time to do anything despite understanding the intention of Ye Chuan. When he had just cut off the vines that had bound him with difficulty, a heavy banner had already appeared in front of him. Bang, he was ferociously knocked to the ground and he became dizzy for a moment. ¡°You dare, release the arrows, release the arrows!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡± The surrounding disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect also reacted and rushed forward to save Jin Hong in succession. White Elders also rushed over. Unfortunately, there was someone who was faster than him. A tensile vine suddenly emerged from the ground and pulled Jin Hong who had fallen to the ground over. Among the five great experts around Ye Chuan, the cultivation of Old Demon of Mount Yin was far from being the strongest, but his response was quick and was the most astute. After realizing what Ye Chuan wanted to do, he knew what to do without Ye Chuan¡¯s order. ¡°Kakaka, boy, with your bird-like appearance, you still want to take our Excellency as a hostage? Kakaka, what a joke!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed and placed the dagger he found who knows where on Jin Hong¡¯s throat. Then he roared, ¡°Nobody move, stop for this lord! Otherwise, your Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s first-generation Big Disciple will die here!¡± The disciples who were rushing over from all sides stopped and looking at Jin Hong coughed by Old Demon of Mount Yin, they didn¡¯t dare to make any move. Meanwhile, Ye Chuan¡¯s group, however, gathered together and slowly walked towards the ancient transmission formation taking advantage of this moment. As long as they step into ancient transmission formation less than 100 meters away, they would be safe! Behind, many disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect slowly followed. All of them held a sharp sword with dense killing intent, but no one dared to rush forward. ¡°Amazing, they actually find a way out of their predicament!¡± ¡°Who said that the Big Senior Apprentice Brother of Nan Batian is mediocre? He has both courage and cunning, this is the real expert!¡± ¡°Yes, a person who is able to become Nan Batian¡¯s Big Senior Apprentice Brother, how can he be so simple? I am sure that that uninvited guest who broke into Small Yao Lake before is him!¡± The guests of various sects made all sorts of comments and looked at Ye Chuan with surprise and admiration. Now, the people could see that Ye Chaun was the leader of Nan Batian¡¯s group as long as they were not stupid. As now it seemed although Ye Chuan¡¯s body was weak and his cultivation also seemed to be not very high, in the heart of people, he was even more amazing that Nan Batian, giving people unfathomable feelings. Otherwise, what did he riled on to break into Small Yao Lake, in addition, how did he plan everything and successfully saved Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia from Heavenly Yao Cave? Looking at Ye Chuan who was wearing a big bamboo hat, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples were also shocked inwardly and hesitated to make a move. On one hand, they had misgivings that Jin Hong would truly be killed, and on the other hand, being unable to see through Ye Chuan¡¯s identity, they didn¡¯t dare to act recklessly. When all was said and done, the person lying on Ye Chuan¡¯s back was not someone ordinary, rather their Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia! As one of the former three giants together with Elder Tianqing and Kumu Warrior Tianku, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had great prestige in Heavenly Yao Sect. As the next successor of Heavenly Empress, she was aloof and her status was even above Tianku and Elder Tianqing. Although she was ordered to be imprisoned in Heavenly Yao Cave for a long time, she was still irreplaceable Heavenly Maiden in the heart of traditional Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. At this moment, since they didn¡¯t know Ye Chuan¡¯s identity or his relation with Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, who dared to easily make a move? On the surface, Ye Chuan¡¯s group had only one hostage, Jin Hong, but as Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples see it, they had two hostages. Even if they ignored the life and death of Jin Hong, what about Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia? The swords had no eyes, when they attacked all at once, if by chance killed Heavenly Maiden, then who could afford to take the responsibility? Ordinary disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect had misgivings to attack, even White and Black Elders, these super experts, were the same. Their killing intent was bellowing but no one dared to make a move. ¡°Attack, kill them all, spare no one! If Heavenly Empress questioned, I alone will take full responsibility!¡± A hoarse voice suddenly resounded in the ears of people. Seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s group was getting closer and closer to the transmission formation, Elder Tianqing who had been in the back couldn¡¯t endure any longer. He roared and took the initiative to ferociously attack Ye Chuan¡¯s group. ¡°Kill!¡± With Elder Tianqing in the lead, the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect also rushed out. They roared and began to attack ferociously. Instantly, Nan Tiandu, Diamond Ape King and Rain Demon were surrounded and were in danger. Plague Archfiend Abaisi wanted to help but he couldn¡¯t make any move due to his injuries. ¡°Tianqing, you have long disliked Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who hindered your scheme of controlling Heavenly Yao Sect and want to kill her, but Jin Hong is the Big Disciple you have personally promoted, do you want to personally destroy him?¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion was cold as he loudly asked. Meanwhile, upon seeing the situation was not good, Jin Hong no longer cared about his face and began to loudly wail and beg in front of everyone, begging Elder Tianqing to save him. ¡°Hahaha, boy, do you really think that Jin Hong is important? He is just a pawn this lordship used, I can choose another one immediately. Even if my Heavenly Yao Sect has nothing else, we have a lot of outstanding young disciples! Thinking to make us retreat using this fellow as a hostage, boy, you must be dreaming, hahaha¡­¡± Elder Tianqing laughed heartily, ignoring the wailing and begging of Jin Hong. Then, he initiated even more ferocious attacks to directly kill Ye Chuan. It seemed that regardless of the life and death of Jin Hong, he wanted to take advantage of this situation to kill unconscious Heavenly Maiden on Ye Chuan¡¯s back! A grand Big Disciple was just a pawn? Upon hearing the words of Elder Tianqing, the complexion of Ye Chuan and others changed. As for Jin Hong, he looked pale and despaired. For a long time, he looked down on everyone due to his high status and called himself Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Son of Heaven who would replace Heavenly Empress to control Heavenly Yao Sect one day. But now, after hearing Elder Tianqing, he understood that he was just a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time. Lost, despair, unprecedented humiliation¡­, Jin Hong felt all kinds of tastes and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, then died before someone else killed him. Chapter 659: Duped Bang! Jin Hong was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He was vomiting blood all the way until he fell to the ground. Old Demon of Mount Yin suddenly made a move. Since this hostage Jin Hong had no value, there was naturally no need to keep him. After ferociously attacking him to end his life, he rushed towards Elder Tianqing, ¡°Your Excellency, go, I¡¯ll hold them, quickly leave!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, quickly leave!¡± Nan Tiandu also shouted loudly, sparing no effort to withstand the attacks of numerous Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts. In terms of cultivation base, he was not any inferior to Black and White Elders, unfortunately, since he had suffered serious injuries, he was lacking. At this moment, he already had given up thinking that he would be able to retreat in one piece from here. He just wished to stall enough time for Ye Chuan to break out of the encirclement. Not far away, Diamond Ape King and Rain Demon were also covered in blood. Under the attack of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts, they were on the verge of collapse. ¡°Hahaha, leave? Do you guys have the ability to leave? Today, all of you will die here, hahahaha¡­¡¯ Elder Tianqing laughed and dodging the attack of Old Demon of Mount Yin, he flew straight towards Ye Chuan and ferociously thrust his sword towards Ye Chuan¡¯s chest, ¡°Boy, let this lordship see who exactly you are.¡± A fierce wind blew, before Elder Tianqing¡¯s sword reached Ye Chuan, a fierce wind blew against him, blowing away Ye Chuan¡¯s big bamboo hat. Suddenly, a face that couldn¡¯t be regarded as handsome but would give a deep impression appeared in front of people. ¡°Eh, it¡¯s you!¡± Upon seeing the face in front of him, Elder Tianqing was greatly started and said, ¡°Well, if it isn¡¯t the boy surnamed Ye? It¡¯s you again creating disturbance in my Heavenly Yao Sect! Not staying quietly in your Cloud Mist Sect, you actually ran over to my Heavenly Yao Sect, good, good, I can just settle both old enmity and the new one. Today, if I don¡¯t kill you, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, then I am not Tianqing!¡± When he saw the build of Ye Chuan for the first time, Tianqing had immediately thought of Ye Chuan who had created havoc in Heavenly Yao Sect before, but thinking for a bit, he denied himself. Today was different from the past, the disturbance this time was even worse. Even if Ye Chuan had such courage, how can he have such capability? In the declining Cloud Mist Sect, how can there be three Half Sage Realm experts? Tianqing was puzzled and unable to understand, but the fact was right before his eyes. He couldn¡¯t believe it, but he had no time to think about it. He ferociously brandished his sword, ¡°Boy, gave me your life!¡± A black-light suddenly exploded in Ye Chuan¡¯s hand. Ding, Tianqing felt like his sword had hit an iron plate. His purlicue tingled and his sword nearly flew out of his hand. Ye Chuan who was carrying unconscious Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was holding heavy Iron Blooded Banner in one hand and a black umbrella in his other hand. It was this not very conspicuous umbrella that blocked his deadly move. ¡°This¡­, is this Heaven Concealing Umbrella?¡± Tianqing was a little afraid. Looking at the umbrella where a black light was circulating along with lingering black mist and thickly dotted runes on the umbrella handle, he suddenly recalled an ancient treasure of Heavenly Yao Sect. Heaven Concealing Umbrella sealed in Heavenly Yao Hall could only be used by successive Heavenly Empresses, moreover, according to the ancestral teaching passed down from the founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress, the successive Heavenly Empress also could only borrow it temporarily to enter Heavenly Yao Cave. For so many years, even Elder Tianqing who held authority over Heavenly Yao Sect had never gotten a chance to see the might of this treasure, but beyond his expectation, Ye Chuan had stolen it! ¡°Heaven Concealing Umbrella, correct, it¡¯s Heaven Concealing Umbrella¡­¡­¡± Elder Tianqing muttered to himself, recalling the sudden phenomena that appeared above Heavenly Yao Hall and the sudden fire. Immediately afterward, he suddenly realized that everything was Ye Chuan¡¯s doing. He first sent Nan Tiandu to fight and create commotion in Grand Sacrifice Competition to lure Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts to Heavenly Yao Square, then take advantage of that moment to sneak into Heavenly Yao Hall and steal Heaven Concealing Umbrella, afterward, burning Heavenly Yao Hall to attract the attention of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciple, and seizing this chance, breaking into Heavenly Yao Cave to save a person. What a great strategy, one linking with another! ¡°Yes, this is Heaven Concealing Umbrella, Tianqing, let¡¯s see whether you all will send us our way or we will send you all to your way!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly circulated Tentacle Talisman within his body and a black whip suddenly burst out from the ground behind Elder Tianqing. Elder Tianqing quickly retreated upon sensing danger, unfortunately, he was already too late. The black whip that suddenly sprang out from the ground-bound him like a python, next, he was pulled over to Ye Chuan. When he prepared to resist, a black mist shrouded him and he instantly couldn¡¯t move. Ye Chuan could kill him at any time now. As a great killing artifact of Ye Chuan¡¯s previous life, Heaven Concealing Umbrella not only blocked the attacks of the enemies, it could also be used to suppress ferocious great devils. Even a powerful fellow, once he fell under Heaven Concealing Umbrella, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn¡¯t use any techniques and could only let himself capture. No one was more familiar with the marvelous usages of Heaven Concealing Umbrella. The successive Heavenly Empresses were far inferior to him in terms of understanding Heaven Concealing Umbrella. Although he was simply incomparable to his previous life¡¯s prime self, as long as he could display even one-tenth of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, he could easily suppress Elder Tianqing who was just Peak Daoist Master Realm expert! From the beginning, Ye Chuan¡¯s true target was never Jin Hong, rather Elder Tianqing. This was the hostage he really wanted. The latter rushing over was just begging to be captured! ¡°Stop, all of you, back down, otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being ruthless.¡± Ye Chuan put away Iron Blooded Banner, and holding Heaven Concealing Umbrella with his left hand, he pressed the forehead of Elder Tianqing with his right hand. As long as he pressed hard enough, the five holes would appear in the latter¡¯s head and die instantly. ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°How¡­, how can this be?¡± The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were shocked and also angry. Upon seeing Elder Tianqing suddenly falling into Ye Chuan¡¯s hand, they had to stop attacking. Especially Black and White Elders, they were so angry that they felt like their chest was about to explode. Just a bit more and they could have killed Nan Tiandu and Diamond Ape King, afterward, the entire group of Ye Chuan would be wiped out, but who would have thought that such a mishap would happen at the critical time? Black and White Elders were unwilling to stop, but looking at Elder Tianqing suppressed under Heaven Concealing Umbrella, they had to stop. Nan Tiandu and others, however, were excited, and they quickly returned to the side of Ye Chuan. Afterward, clustering around Ye Chuan, they slowly backed away, getting closer and closer to the ancient transmission formation near the entrance gate. There were troops stationed in the vicinity of the entrance gate, in addition, more and more experts were rushing over from all directions, all of them were emitting dense killing intent, however, after seeing what had happened, no one dared to attack. They could only watch Ye Chuan¡¯s group retreating towards the transmission formation. Old Demon of Mount Yin who was comparatively not injured heavily got busy, he took out crystal stones to activate the transmission formation. Soon, the ancient transmission formation began to activate, emitting a dazzling light. So close! Finally safe! Ye Chuan and Nan Tiandu looked at each other and saw comfort and excitement in each other¡¯s eyes. At that time, a white-robed woman suddenly appeared on the horizon. She was flying over in an incomparable speed. White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tiandi, is that her? Ye Chuan¡¯s pupils tightened and suddenly became tense. His heartbeat accelerated and felt like the ancient transmission formation below them was taking it extremely long. Chapter 660: Extremely Conceited ¡°Quick, Rhodes!¡± Ye Chuan urgently ordered. Every second felt like forever. Elder Tianqing, however, was excited and saw hope. ¡°Okay!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin responded. He also saw White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi flying over, and took out all the crystal stones he had. Boom, the ancient transmission formation below their legs rotated rapidly and emitted dazzling radiance, even the surrounding air rippled and twisted. ¡°When I ascend to Sage, only I will lord above and below heaven, the world will be under my feet.¡± ¡°When I shed mundane and become the Sage, I want this present, no longer aging, I want this land, no longer collapsing and time ceases to pass!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ A voice came from far away and reverberated throughout the world. Great Wishing Technique! White Haired Heavenly Empress who was flying over used the top-notch technique which only successive Heavenly Empresses were qualified to cultivate. The people gathered in the vicinity of the entrance gate made a commotion, then the world suddenly became peaceful. Everyone, regardless of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts or the guests of various sects, all stood still like a stone sculpture. Someone lowered their head, wanting to look for a place to hide, and someone opened their mouth, wanting to exclaim, but they couldn¡¯t emit any sound, all were fixed in their action and expression of just a moment ago. Ye Chuan¡¯s group was also the same. Even the ancient transmission formation under their legs also stopped as if it was frozen by someone. It stopped just a moment before they were teleported away. Upon seeing Ye Chuan¡¯s group were about to be teleported away, White Haired Heavenly Empress displayed her peerless technique, creating an astonishing scene, while rushing over. Swish! A hint of cold light streak across the sky, creating an ear-piercing sound. After using a great technique to stop time in order to prevent Ye Chuan¡¯s group from teleporting away, White Haired Heavenly Empress brandished a sharp sword, directly attacking Ye Chuan. Although the Great Wishing Technique was powerful, it could only stop time for a moment, thus, she decided to kill Ye Chuan who was the root cause. Clang, White Haired Heavenly Empress shook as the sharp sword was blocked by Heaven Concealing Umbrella in Ye Chuan¡¯s hand. After the moment, Ye Chuan came back to his senses and used Heaven Concealing Umbrella to block Heavenly Empress¡¯s deadly move. In the past few days, refining Yinyang Life Wheel had made his body particularly weak, but his spirit had become much stronger, making him come back to his senses first. In the next moment, he didn¡¯t have time to think, sword lights rose suddenly in front of his eyes. Furious White Haired Heavenly Empress used an even more powerful killing move, wanting to wipe out Ye Chuan¡¯s group in one move! At that time, Nan Tiandu and others also came back to their senses and turned pale with fright. ¡°Withdraw, move back inside Heaven Concealing Umbrella!¡± After commanding, Ye Chuan decisively dragged Elder Tianqing and jumped out of the transmission formation. Upon seeing this, Nan Tiandu and others also followed in succession and squeezed under Heaven Concealing Umbrella. Afterward, this ancient umbrella suddenly expanded and emitted black mist, tightly covering everyone. Just a bit more and they could have teleported back to Cloud Mist Sect. Ye Chuan and others were furious, unfortunately, if they didn¡¯t leave transmission formation, they would have died under Heavenly Empress¡¯s hands, they had to retreat on their own. The group was in a terrible mood as they reentered the encirclement of Heavenly Yao Sect, their situation was anything but reassuring. Elder Tianqing who was captured as a hostage, however, became more and more excited. ¡°Boy, still not releasing this lordship? Heavenly Empress has personally come, even if you all have three heads and six arms, you all are screwed, hahaha¡­¡± Elder Tianqing borrowed the tiger¡¯s fierceness and laughed heartily, but soon, he was unable to laugh. White Haired Heavenly Empress attacked again, her sword moves were frightening, but all were blocked by the Heaven Concealing Umbrella in Ye Chuan¡¯s hands. Facing the furious White Haired Heavenly Empress, Nan Tiandu also didn¡¯t dare to confront her. Since all of them were dripping with blood and also exhausted, they together were not her opponent. Perhaps, they might not be able to last a few rounds under her sword. However, beyond everyone¡¯s expectation, the ancient Heaven Concealing Umbrella protected them like a layer of tortoiseshell. ¡°Impossible, although Heaven Concealing Umbrella is powerful, how can¡­¡± Elder Tianqing became pale. He was surprised than anyone else, and his heart sunk further and further like falling down an endless abyss. Heavenly Empress had come in person, but even she was unable to kill Ye Chuan¡¯s group, wouldn¡¯t that mean¡­ Elder Tianqing who had laughed heartily just a moment ago borrowing the tiger¡¯s mind trembled and his old face also became a little red. He had been working in Heavenly Yao Sect for so many years, but when had he ever thought that he would be captured alive within Heavenly Yao Sect someday? ¡°Good, good, what a good capability and amazing means, you were actually able to comprehend the magical uses of Heaven Concealing Umbrella so quickly!¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress coldly snored, then jumping onto a nearby stone pillar, she looked down, and with her face covered with a layer of frost, she said, ¡°Such powerful means, this mistress actually thought that you are a certain gentleman of previous life, but didn¡¯t expect, it actually turned out to be you, the boy surnamed Ye. At that time when you come to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, this mistress carelessly made an error of judgment. Boy, speak, who exactly are you? Don¡¯t say that you are just an ordinary disciple of Cloud Mist Sect!¡± At this time, if she couldn¡¯t detect that Ye Chuan was unusual, then she wouldn¡¯t be Heavenly Empress. The gaze of White Haired Heavenly Empress was sharp like a dagger, wanting to see through the secrets of Ye Chuan. In Heavenly Yao Cave, he was already surprised and furious to see both Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and Heavenly Yao Senior had disappeared. In addition, when she found that everything was Ye Chuan¡¯s method to lure her out, her fury increased, but no matter how furious she was, she looked cold and aloof on the surface without any expression. Only her dense killing intent indirectly displayed her anger. ¡°Heavenly Empress, who am I is not important, you just need to know that I, Ye Chuan, will take Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia away today at all events, you can be heartless and disregard the sentiment of master and apprentice, but it¡¯s impossible for me. I, Ye Chuan¡¯s woman for one day, my woman for a lifetime, whoever wants to kill my woman has to kill me first.¡± Ye Chuan coldly replied. Even facing White Haired Heavenly Empress, this super expert, he didn¡¯t have even a hint of fear on his face. The on-looking people made commotion while sizing up Ye Chuan once again. Nan Tiandu was already powerful enough, now, witnessing with their own eyes, Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice Brother, was more powerful than Nan Tiandu! This was not necessarily the case of cultivation, to achieve great matters, courage and strategies were even more important. Looking throughout the world, not to mention the younger generation, even among the Sect Master of various sects, how many could remain so calm and composed in front of White Haired Heavenly Empress? Ye Chuan who had been planning and acting behind the scenes during this trip to Heavenly Yao Sect finally walked out from backstage to the front of the stage, directly facing the pressure of White Haired Heavenly Empress. Chapter 661: Ruthless ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, I didn¡¯t expect you to be a romantic-type person!¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi laughed heartily and standing on a stone pillar, she looked down at Ye Chuan. Her voice was cold as she added, ¡°Boy, hand over Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and Heaven Concealing Umbrella, and allow yourself to be seized with your hands tied, otherwise, you and your sect will have a tragic fate! Considering the ancient oath of alliance between your Cloud Mist Sect and my Heavenly Yao Sect, in these last few years, this mistress has been secretly looking after your Cloud Mist Sect, otherwise, your Cloud Mist Sect would have been destroyed long ago!¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress emitted dense killing intent, threatening to destroy Cloud Mist Sect. All the onlookers closed their mouths, waiting to see how Ye Chuan would respond. The words of White Haired Heavenly Empress was astonishing, but no one doubted as she had that ability. With the strength of Heavenly Yao Sect, if she truly wanted to destroy Cloud Mist Sect, then there was no need for the whole nest to come out, just White Haired Heavenly Empress alone might be enough. ¡°Everything is decreed by fate, regardless of an individual or a sect, an individual would eventually die no matter how long the lifespan is, as for the sect, it would also perish one day no matter how long the inheritance is. If my Cloud Mist Sect is doomed to be destroyed, then no one can save it.¡± Ye Chuan calmly said as if he was an outsider. He then paused for a bit and added, ¡°On the contrary, Heavenly Empress, your Deacon Elder is in my hands, do you truly not want to save him?¡± Ye Chuan exerted strength, and Elder Tianqing immediately felt tingling pain on his head as if five sharp daggers were pressing against his scalp. Afterward, his complexion became paler as he trembled. He already somewhat understood Ye Chuan¡¯s nature. When Ye Chuan caused havoc In Heavenly Yao Sect last time, he knew that Ye Chuan was a hard nut that yielded neither to persuasion nor to coercion. Since Ye Chuan said he would kill him, that was not an empty threat, he would truly be ruthless! ¡°Heavenly Empress, save me, Heavenly Empress, save me¡­¡± Elder Tianqing loudly begged in public without hesitation. In the past, he was well-known for treasuring his face and extreme vanity, now however, he couldn¡¯t afford to care. After falling in the hands of Ye Chuan, this ruthless person, he couldn¡¯t not admit defeat. If White Haired Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t make a move to save him, then he would truly die here. In former days, when punishing other people, he would ruthlessly behead them like cutting up vegetables, but now, when it was his turn, he had already pissed in his pants even before his head rolled on the ground. White Haired Heavenly Empress looked at Elder Tianqing without any expression and didn¡¯t say a word. ¡°Tsk tsk, a Deacon Elder is also so worthless? It seems I made a mistake, in such a big Heavenly Yao Sect, there is no personage with some weight!¡± Ye Chuan shook his head, pretending to be disappointed. Afterward, the five fingers pressed against Elder Tianqing¡¯s forehead suddenly sunk in and blood suddenly burst out of the old fellow¡¯s forehead. He adopted the attitude of wanting to kill Elder Tianqing, leaving behind five holes on his forehead. ¡°No¡­, noble son Ye, spare me, no¡­¡± Elder Tianqing screamed like a slaughtered pig. Under the suppression of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, he couldn¡¯t even move an inch let alone resist. He could only pin all his hopes on Heavenly Empress. ¡°Save me, Heavenly Empress, save me¡­, I, Tianqing has worked hard for you for so many years, Heavenly Empress, save me¡­¡± Elder Tianqing begged loudly. White Haired Heavenly Empress who was standing on a stone pillar was his only hope now. And at the same time, this hostage was also the only hope of Ye Chuan¡¯s group to get out of this place. Although Heaven Concealing Umbrella was powerful, with the current cultivation of Ye Chuan, he couldn¡¯t display even one-tenth of its might. He could only block the attacks of White Haired Heavenly Empress, and it would be impossible for him to retreat to the ancient transmission formation while protecting his entire group. ¡°Tianqing, you also have such a day!¡± ¡°Heh heh, yes, I truly had never expected for this fellow to also have such a day. Unfortunately, with the protection of Heavenly Empress, it looks like this old fellow won¡¯t die yet, it¡¯s a pity¡­¡± The people looking from far away made comments while pointing upon seeing this scene. Over the years, Elder Tianqing tyrannically abused power, no one knew how many people were dying to kill him, merely, they didn¡¯t dare to take the dangerous risk and also didn¡¯t have such ability, nothing more. Not to mention other sects, even within Heavenly Yao Sect, there were many who were discontented with him. They wanted Ye Chuan to immediately kill this old fellow Elder Tianqing. Unfortunately, after careful thought, people felt that it was very unlikely. The status of Elder Tianqing was extraordinary, far from being comparable to younger generation disciples like Jin Hong. Elder Tianqing had been controlling Heavenly Yao Sect for many years representing White Haired Heavenly Empress. For people, Elder Tianqing represented Heavenly Yao Sect and he also represented the will of White Haired Heavenly Empress. Sacrificing a younger generation disciple was nothing, but letting such an elder die, how can that be possible? Elder Tianqing also knew this point. He understood that his status and position were extraordinary, in addition, he knew many secrets of White Haired Heavenly Empress which was unknown to many people. The latter had many affairs that shouldn¡¯t see the light. He was the absolute trusted aide of White Haired Heavenly Empress who had been working for many years for her. So, he begged her regardless of losing his face. However, slowly, he noticed that he was wrong and his heart sunk. Even after begging for a while, the aloof White Haired Heavenly Empress had no change in her expression, her face was still cold and expressionless, it was even colder without any hint of compromising and saving intent. ¡°Heavenly Empress, you can¡¯t let me die, I am Tianqing, am Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Deacon Elder, I¡­¡± Elder Tianqing panicked. Some of his words were incoherent. ¡°Tianqing, you are thinking too much, when this mistress said you are the Deacon Elder, then you are the Great Elder above millions of people and under just one person, but when this mistress said you aren¡¯t, you aren¡¯t. Life as a pawn is difficult to manage, don¡¯t blame I, this Heavenly Empress for being ruthless, if you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for being incompetent. A grand Deacon Elder was actually captured alive by a junior, how can you still be my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Deacon Elder? Considering your service for many years, I will send you on your way!¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress finally spoke. Her tone was ice cold without a hint of emotion. Afterward, she flicked her finger from the distance. ¡°No¡­¡± Elder Tianqing screamed, then his body weakly fell down. A bloody hole was added on his glabella. Before Ye Chuan made a move, White Haired Heavenly Empress herself killed Elder Tianqing. In the eyes of average people, Elder Tianqing was a very important figure, was an aloof Great Elder who could command the entire sect, but in the eyes of White Haired Heavenly Empress, he was just a dog, or to say, a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time, nothing more. Suddenly, the world became very quiet, everyone turned pale with fright and were scared witless. Nan TIandu and others were also the same. After seeing the powers and ruthlessness of White Haired Heavenly Empress, Ye Chuan¡¯s heart also sunk deeper and deeper. Just when everyone closed their mouth and feeling restless, a burst of laughter suddenly resounded. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, Elder Tianqing, as it turned out you are also a pawn of someone, you are also just so-so, hahahaha¡­¡± Son of Heaven Jin Hong who was lying on a pool of blood actually was still alive. After witnessing the bad end of Elder Tianqing by his own eyes, he laughed heartily as if he had gone crazy. Afterward, he got up and left while laughing like a lunatic. His laughter got farther and farther away, disappearing outside Heavenly Yao Sect. Among the two arrogance and powerful figures of Heavenly Yao Sect, one turned into a corpse and another became crazy. Chapter 662: Offer In the vicinity of the entrance gate, it was very quiet. People closed their mouths in unison and watched without blinking their eyes. Even a Great Elder was killed so easily, such a ruthless White Haired Heavenly Empress, would she let Ye Chuan¡¯s group go? After witnessing the bad end of Elder Tianqing, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples and various sects¡¯ guests were all nervous and also a little apprehensive. In Heavenly Yao Sect, Heavenly Empress honestly was the existence above the law. She was heaven and her words were the law! White Haired Heavenly Empress who was standing above the stone pillar didn¡¯t say a word, but her face was getting colder and colder. Looking from the distance, she looked like a celestial being that came from the Outer World, overlooking all living creatures. Her cold indifferent face didn¡¯t have even a hint of energy fluctuation. Just looking at her, people felt chill in their heart and many people shivered. Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion was also cold. As soon as Elder Tianqing died, he knew that the decisive battle was inevitable. This was something he was most unwilling to see and also did his best to avoid. Unfortunately, what should come still came, it was impossible to dodge. If he wanted to escape unscathed with Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, Nan Tiandu and others and return to Cloud Mist Sect, then they must survive this disaster. ¡°Abasi, look after Zixia, Rain Demon, Tiandu, Jin Teluo, Rhodes, form a battle formation with me!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly laid down Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia from his back and handed her over to severely injured Plague Archfiend Ababsi, then sat cross-legged on the spot as his voice resounded in the mind of Rain Demon and others, imparting a section of profound merit law. The four experts also immediately sat down cross-legged and chanted the merit law while overlaying their energy fluctuation, then supported Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit suddenly shook and his energy fluctuation rose rapidly. The ancient Heaven Concealing Umbrella also vibrated and emitted a large amount of black mist, tightly covering them. With their own bodies as the cores of the formation, everyone¡¯s vitality became the energy source of the formation, laying down a powerful restriction, Miniature Heaven Concealing Formation! Facing the great pressure of White Haired Heavenly Empress, Ye Chuan also had no good way, could only break the cauldrons and sink the boats. Relying on Heaven Concealing Umbrella in his hand coupled with the help of Miniature Heaven Concealing Formation, he hoped to withstand the ferocious attacks of the other party. If he was able to lay out the real Heaven Concealing Formation, then even a Sage Realm expert might not be able to break in, unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t meet many conditions now, thus, Ye Chuan could only settle for the second best option, laying out simple and easy Miniature Heaven Concealing Formation. Its might was naturally inferior to the real Heaven Concealing Formation, but it could superposition the strength of several people and amass strength to meet the enemy, moreover, could also complement Heaven Concealing Umbrella. ¡°Eh, what are they doing?¡± ¡°All of them are already injured, could it be that they thought that they could stop Heavenly Empress¡¯s all-out attack?¡± The people made all sorts of comments, surprised by the action of Ye Chuan¡¯s group. If someone else was in their position, then they should be thinking about running away, staying behind was just waiting for death. Some time ago, in Heavenly Yao Square, Nan Tiandu alone had gone toe to toe with White Haired Heavenly Empress, but at that time, the latter was clearly not using all her strength, nothing more. Later, even after Nan Tiandu, Plague Archfiend and Diamond Ape King, these three Half Sage Realm experts cooperated, they were not her opponent. This was clear proof of the matter before. Now, Nan Tiandu and others were severely injured, at this moment, if they didn¡¯t try to break out separately but stayed together, then wouldn¡¯t they be rounded up at one fell swoop? People opened their eyes wide, looking at Nan Tiandu and others who were sitting cross-legged and shook their heads in succession. Even Elder Tianqing was killed, although White Haired Heavenly Empress was expressionless, one could well imagine the fury inside her heart. She would definitely not hold back when making a move this time, she would definitely make a killer move! A cold wind blew, bringing along a chill. The people retreated in succession. They were unwilling to miss this spectacular battle but also didn¡¯t dared to get too close to the battlefield. If they were accidentally involved in the upcoming battle, then that would be injustice. ¡°Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, you truly have a character. At that time, when you came to my Heavenly Yao Sect to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, I knew that you will certainly become an extraordinary person in the future. Boy, if you cultivate like this, in the future, becoming a venerable cultivation giant of Wilderness World is also not impossible, unfortunately, you displayed your talents too early. Although Wilderness World is big enough to tolerate you, you bring about your own destruction.¡± The face of White Haired Heavenly Empress was still cold and indifferent, but her eyes flashed sizing up Ye Chuan. No one knew what she was thinking, unexpectedly, she didn¡¯t immediately make a move. After a pause, she added with her cold voice, ¡°Boy, this mistress will give you two choices, death or join my Heavenly Yao Sect, this mistress will bestow you the position of Big Disciple and you can lead my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s experts to campaign throughout the world, eliminating devils and evils sects under the heaven. In addition, you can control the sect in my place, and you can execute elders below third-generation first and report afterward, how about it?¡± After beheading Elder Tianqing, White Haired Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t immediately unleash a killer move to kill Ye Chuan¡¯s group, on the contrary, made an astonishing deal in front of everyone. The people gathered around quickly made a commotion. According to the offer of White Haired Heavenly Empress, if Ye Chuan truly joined Heavenly Yao Sect, then he would be Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple with authority over life and death of others, far different from Son of Heaven Jin Hong who was the Big Disciple only in name. In addition, his authority would even be higher than Elder Tianqing who had just died. When the time comes, Heavenly Yao Sect would invite true radical transformation. From three giants under Heavenly Empress in the past, there would only be one giant below one and above millions! ¡°Not good, if this kid agreed, then wouldn¡¯t we have to call him Big Senior Apprentice Brother in the future?¡± ¡°Just having to call him Big Senior Apprentice Brother is nothing. If we made him unhappy someday, heads would roll on the ground and there would be no place for justice!¡± Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples made all sorts of comments and were agitated. All of them were greatly surprised, especially the loyal trusted subordinates of Elder Tianqing, they were shocked and fearful and disturbed. If Ye Chuan truly joined Heavenly Yao Sect and assumed power, then they would be ruthlessly cleansed sooner or later and not even a few of them will survive. Ouyang Huo who had lost his legs in Grand Sacrifice Competition had also come. He sat in a wheelchair at some distance, wanting to personally see how Ye Chuan and Nan Tiandu would die, but upon hearing the offer of White Haired Heavenly Empress, he suddenly turned deathly pale. In these last few years, with the favor of Elder Tianqing, he had risen rapidly in the world. He was complacent and unconstrained within the sect. In addition, he had also committed a lot of crimes within the sect and done many matters that couldn¡¯t be revealed. Once Ye Chuan entered Heavenly Yao Sect and cleanse Elder Tianqing¡¯s trusted subordinates, wouldn¡¯t that be his auspicious day? Audacious Ouyang Huo who was called Bone Crushing Crazy Demon in the past couldn¡¯t help trembling at this moment. He couldn¡¯t figure out why White Haired Heavenly Empress took a fancy on Ye Chuan, but he knew that if Ye Chuan agreed, then he could only commit suicide to go on his way. Without legs, he couldn¡¯t escape even if wanted to, his end would be even worse than that lunatic Jin Hong. Chapter 663: Formerly Betrothed to Another Person ¡°Sorry, Your Majesty the Heavenly Empress, I am doing fine in Cloud Mist Sect now, I¡¯ve no interest in your Heavenly Yao Sect.¡± When Ouyang Huo and others were feeling restless and disturbed, worrying about Ye Chuan entering Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan refused without any hesitation. The people gathered around created commotion again. Although White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi¡¯s offers were astonishing beyond all expectation, Ye Chuan¡¯s reply also was unexpected. Such a chance, many people couldn¡¯t get even in their dream, but Ye Chuan refused just like this? People were in disbelief, asking themselves, if they got such opportunity, who would be willing to let it slip? ¡°Then you¡­, what do you need? Or to say, what are you interested in?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress asked. The cultivation of Nan Tiandu who similarly was the younger generation disciple of Cloud Mist Sect was much superior to Ye Chuan, in addition, he stood in a limelight in this Grand Sacrifice Competition, however, White Haired Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t even take a second glance at him. In her eyes, it seemed that there was only Ye Chuan. Or, Ye Chuan¡¯s potential, or, she had another aim. The gaze of people concentrated on Ye Chuan. The meaning of White Haired Heavenly Empress was already very clear. Asking what were the requirements, not to mention when recruiting a disciple, even when recruiting an elder, they would not be provided with such benefit! People became all the more shocked including Black and White Elders. Relying on their Half Sage Realm cultivation base, they two were aloof and remote existence who could do as they pleased in any sects. In addition, they enjoyed many benefits that ordinary disciples could never enjoy. Therefore, they set themselves high above the masses in the past, and even Elder Tianqing treated them with politeness. They believed that they were important figures in White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s eyes too. But today, compared to Ye Chuan, they immediately felt that the benefits they enjoyed in the past were nothing. He was just a Peak Daoist Master Realm young disciple, nothing more. Although there were not many such youths, looking throughout the Wilderness World, many more could be found, why was Heavenly Empress insisting on this brat Ye Chuan? The complexion of White and Black Elders became gloomy. They looked at each other and snorted simultaneously. After confirming that Ye Chuan was that uninvited guest who broke into Small Yao Lake a few days ago, they two wanted to kill him. Today, they blocked Ye Chuan¡¯s path to the transmission formation to kill him, merely, they were too late. If White Haired Heavenly Empress truly recruited Ye Chuan as Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple, and let him take control of Heavenly Yao Sect, then their position would be awkward. ¡°There is one thing I am interested in, it¡¯s¡­, somewhat embarrassing to speak out.¡± Ye Chuan replied as the black mist of Heaven Concealing Umbrella began to spread. After hastily making Nan Tiandu and others lay out Miniature Heaven Concealing Formation, he quietly took a breather and began to scheme how to free themselves from this situation. ¡°What is it? Feel free to speak.¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s eyes lit up and a faint smile appeared on her face. In the world, there were no people that couldn¡¯t be tempted, if someone was not tempted, then that just meant the temptation was not enough. Originally, she wouldn¡¯t have spared a glace for Ye Chuan, this kind of small character, wiping them out would be the best, however, seeing the might of Heaven Concealing Umbrella in Ye Chuan¡¯s hands, her heart suddenly moved. The inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect was very long. There were many treasures in Hidden Weaponry Pavilion, however, the most mysterious treasure within the sect was still Heaven Concealing Umbrella sealed in Heavenly Yao hall that just successive Heavenly Empresses could use temporarily. With the protection of this treasure, the successive Heavenly Empresses could enter Heavenly Yao Cave and pay respect to supreme expert Heavenly Yao Senior. Without the protection of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, even with the Peak Half Sage Realm cultivation, no one could reach the end of Heavenly Yao Cave. For a long time, the successive Heavenly Empresses all knew that Heaven Concealing Umbrella had astonishing might, and all of them pondered on how to thoroughly refine this treasure throughout their life, unfortunately, no one was successful, White Haired Heavenly Empress was also the same. Originally, she thought that no one in this world could truly refine Heaven Concealing Umbrella and it was impossible for anyone to display its full might. However, when she saw the magical effects of Heaven Concealing Umbrella in Ye Chuan¡¯s hands, she immediately knew that she was wrong. Ye Chuan whose cultivation was not up to much must know the secrets of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, and he was connected to the sudden change in Heavenly Yao Cave and the disappearance of Heavenly Yao Senior. She was doubtful and excited in her heart. She vaguely felt that this was her chance to breakthrough to Sage Realm from Peak Half Sage Realm, becoming the first person to reach Sage Realm in the entire Wilderness World in thousands of years. The cultivation path was never-ending. Ordinary disciples yearned for the breakthrough, when they Xiushi Realm, they yearned to breakthrough to Daoist Master Realm, Daoist Master Realm disciples longed to breakthrough to Half Sage Realm, even White Haired Heavenly Empress who was already so strong was the same. Her yearning to breakthrough was even stronger. She had already stagnated in this Peak Half Sage Realm for a very long time, but she couldn¡¯t think of a way to breakthrough. Perhaps, like Kumu Warrior Tianku, she might reach the end of her life before long. She wouldn¡¯t die under the sword of a powerful opponent, rather die due to old age someday. Every day, seeing her own body getting old and feeble was undoubtedly the greatest tragedy for any cultivator. White Haired Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t want to see herself die due to old age, and she also didn¡¯t want to see the arrival of the end of her lifespan. She still dreamed about breaking through to Sage Realm and unify Wilderness World, in addition, dreamed to someday go to even vaster Outer World. After bitterly waiting for thousands of years, now, such a chance was right in front of her, which was Ye Chuan. As long as Ye Chuan was willing to enter Heavenly Yao Sect and tell her the secret of Heaven Concealing Umbrella to help her in breaking through to Sage Realm, not to mention making him the Big Disciple, immediately making him Great Elder was also not an issue! ¡°Heavenly Empress, then I will speak straight.¡± Ye Chuan paused for a moment. ¡°Speak, what do you want?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress said. ¡°Originally, I don¡¯t want to say, however, since Heavenly Empress asked so strongly, I have to speak straight. Heavenly Empress, you look lovely as a flower, your skin is white as snow, and your elegance is unprecedented and unrepeatable, is number one in our Wilderness World. I wonder if Heavenly Empress is betrothed to another person before?¡± Ye Chuan looked straight at White Haired Heavenly Empress standing on a stone pillar and spoke his demand with admiration and intoxicated appearance. Ye Chuan¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t big, but no know knew what method he used, his words clearly resounded in the ears of everyone. Inside and outside Heavenly Yao Sect, it suddenly became very quiet, everyone was dumbstruck. No wonder Ye Chuan refused the position of Big Disciple without hesitation, he actually¡­, took a fancy to White Haired Heavenly Empress! He dared to take liberties with even Heavenly Empress, this was like a toad yearning for a swan¡¯s meat. Was he already tired of living, courting death like this? People were dumbstruck. They instantly thought that they might have heard wrongly. Even Nan Tiandu and others, they were stupefied. No one expected Ye Chuan to make such a demand. Under the help of Plague Archfiend Abasi, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had just regained consciousness, the result, before she had the time to be happy, she happened to hear the words of Ye Chuan and directly fainted again. Chapter 664: Decisive Battle ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi who was standing on a stone pillar was also dumbfounded for a moment, then she laughed, ¡°Good, good, boy, you are crazy enough, you are even crazier than your junior apprentice brother something Nan Batian. Well, I will let you experience the might of Heavenly Empress today!¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress was so furious that she laughed. When her laughter was still reverberating throughout the sky, she had already jumped down, stabbing the sword in her hand towards Ye Chuan¡¯s chest. Since the temptation failed, she used force! White Haired Heavenly Empress took action without any hesitation. She immediately used fatal moves. Her speed was already fast enough, but since she was jumping down from high above, her speed was even faster. Instantly, her figure couldn¡¯t be seen with naked eyes, even Ye Chuan also just saw a blurred hint of sword gleam, and at the same time, his glabella crazily twitched, feeling strong danger. Immediately afterward, he subconsciously turned over Heaven Concealing Umbrella. Ding! A crisp sound resounded in the ears of people. White Haired Heavenly Empress was sent flying back over ten meters, Ye Chuan under Heaven Concealing Umbrella was still sitting cross-legged without any movement, seemingly had taken no damage. However, upon a closer look, it could be seen that Ye Chuan¡¯s face was deathly pale and the hand holding Heaven Concealing Umbrella was trembling. Relying on Heaven Concealing Umbrella, Ye Chuan forcibly blocked the all-out attack of White Haired Heavenly Empress. Although Heaven Concealing Umbrella wasn¡¯t damaged, the strong impact, however, almost ruined Ye Chuan¡¯s entire arm. The greater part of his body was tingling. The gap between a Peak Daoist Master Realm and Half Sage Realm was big, not to mention, he was now facing Peak Half Sage Realm peerless expert. This absolute gap between their cultivation bases was not something that could be filled by treasures. Treasures without sufficient self-strength were useless. Fortunately, Ye Chuan was not fighting alone. Other than seriously injured Plague Archfiend Abasi, Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin, Rain Demon and Diamond Ape King, these four great experts were sitting beside him, overlaying their respective powers on Ye Chuan. The help of the four great experts coupled with Heaven Concealing Umbrella, they barely stopped White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s attack. ¡°So powerful, what exactly is the origin of that umbrella?¡± ¡°Everyone said that Nan Batian is crazy enough, no one expected that this boy is even crazier, no wonder he is the Big Senior Apprentice Brother and even Nan Batian is obedient to him!¡± The onlooking crowd finally reacted and exclaimed in succession. In the Grand Sacrifice Competition, Nan Tiandu in the pseudonym of Nan Batian was incomparably arrogant in the eyes of people. Many great experts had never seen such an arrogant person. Now, when they saw Ye Chuan, the understood the principle of the peak beyond the peak. There was an even crazier person. Within the territory of Heavenly Yao Sect, daring to blatantly make fun of Heavenly Empress, Ye Chuan was absolutely the first person in the history. For millions of years, there were many people who hated Heavenly Yao Sect to the bones, including many great devils with heaven-defying cultivation bases, but who dared to be so bold and arrogant in front of Heavenly Empress? The people opened their eyes wide, not wanting to miss a single spectacular scene. The Grand Sacrifice Competition of this time was already spectacular. Many geniuses appeared from various sects, showing the younger generation disciples were getting more and more powerful. After watching the matches between the disciples of various sects, many people had their eyes opened this time. The match between Nan Tiandu and Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Big Disciple Jin Hong was even more amazing. But now, witnessing the battle between Ye Chuan and White Haired Heavenly Empress, people were excited like never before. If the competition between the disciples before was brilliant, then this fight was the fight of the millennium. Whether Ye Chuan won or lose, this fight was destined to be remembered for thousands of years! ¡°Boy, last chance, submit or not?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s complexion was even colder. When she spit out words, people felt chill to the bottom of their hearts. In addition, even though they were observing from over a hundred meters away, they couldn¡¯t help shivering. They couldn¡¯t imagine what kind of pressure Ye Chuan was enduring. ¡°Stop spouting nonsense, Heavenly Empress, come, show your most powerful technique, let your Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s storm become even more violent!¡± Ye Chuan coldly replied. At this moment, his complexion was deathly pale and he was in far worse situation than White Haired Heavenly Empress, but his gaze was firm, devoid of fear and hesitation. Afterward, roaring loudly, he crazily circulated all twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body and his energy fluctuation rose again, then opening his mouth, he spat out a blood-red flying sword, which circled around Heaven Concealing Umbrella. Facing the overbearing White Haired Heavenly Empress, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t shrink back, instead took out Dragon Slaying Flying sword to prepare a desperate counterattack. He used all his vitality along with the energy supplied by Nan Tiandu and others to use Heaven Concealing Umbrella and sharp Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. In front of Heavenly Empress who stood at the peak of Wilderness World, the difference in their strength was too big, ordinary means were useless against her. Thus, Ye Chuan simply took out the sword and fully utilized his powerful spirit! He had been waiting for this moment for a long time and he was already prepared. Using Heaven Concealing Umbrella to protect himself and using spirit infused Dragon Slaying Flying Sword to counterattack, this was his already prepared method to respond against White Haired Heavenly Empress, this super expert. Such a method might not defeat her, but, it would definitely make things difficult for her and she also wouldn¡¯t be able to quickly end the fight. And as time goes by, some changes might appear, giving them a gleam of hope! It was for this reason Ye Chuan deliberately provoked White Haired Heavenly Empress in public and made her angry. The more ferocious White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s attacks were, the more she couldn¡¯t keep going for a long time! The battle between experts was like playing chess. Other people took a step and calculate another step, but as the former Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan before taking each step, he would have already calculated three steps ahead. Other people laughed at him for being too arrogant, but who would know that killing moves that would kill without spilling blood was placed all over here. Sure enough, after seeing Dragon Slaying Flying Sword circling around Heaven Concealing Umbrella, a hint of seriousness appeared on the always cold face of White Haired Heavenly Empress. As the overlord of Heavenly Yao Sect, Heavenly Empress quickly discerned that the flying sword of Ye Chuan was unusual. Not to mention its sharpness, the divine sense attached to it was vast and mighty. If this flying sword pierced the injury it inflicted was secondary, if one was not careful, the soul might be scattered. ¡°Wrong, this isn¡¯t an ordinary flying sword, that is a Soul Artifact!¡± ¡°No, also not a true soul artifact, it¡¯s just that the divine sense of that boy is so powerful that it can directly attack the opponent¡¯s soul!¡± Among the onlookers, there was no lack of powerful experts. They quickly saw through the might of Dragon Slaying Flying Sword and exclaimed in excitement. Although this battle was exciting, they believed that there was no big suspense in this battle before, but now, a little suspense suddenly emerged, increasing the excitement, which made people look forward to the battle. The cultivation of Ye Chuan appeared to be not up to much, but he had many means and various treasures. Who will win this battle in the end? In terms of cultivation, Ye Chuan was clearly far worse, could he still withstand White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s ferocious attacks? People watched on without blinking their eyes. Even as a bystander, they couldn¡¯t help staring to get nervous. Chapter 665: Deal ¡°Not bad, boy, you truly have some skill, come!¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi observed for a while and flew over. Afterward, she didn¡¯t display her amazing Great Wishing Technique, rather initiated a series of ferocious attacks with the sword in her hand. The might of Great Wishing Technique was astonishing, but its consumption was also extraordinary. Even White Haired Heavenly Empress, this kind of Peak Half-Sage Realm expert also couldn¡¯t continuously use this technique. However, even without Great Wishing Technique, White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s attacks were equally powerful. Each sword slash brought about vast momentum as the waves of attacks landed on Heaven Concealing Umbrella and the attack speed was increasing. In the end, the onlookers already couldn¡¯t clearly see her, they just saw a vague white figure as metal colliding sounds continuously rang in their ears. Ye Chuan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground could only defend, not attack. With the help of Nan Tiandu, Rain Demon, Diamond Ape King and Old Demon of Mount Yin, he used Heaven Concealing Umbrella to resist the attacks of White Haired Heavenly Empress. Occasionally, taking advantage of the instance when White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s attacks paused, he would use Dragon Slaying Flying Sword to initiate a counterattack. He didn¡¯t have the delusion of inflicting serious injuries to White Haired Heavenly Empress, he just wanted to increase the pressure to make the latter unable to launch all-out attacks. Sure enough, this tiny flying sword brought about a lot of troubles to White Haired Heavenly Empress. In Ye Chuan¡¯s hands, Heaven Concealing Umbrella was just like a tortoiseshell, nothing was able to penetrate it. Coupled with Dragon Slaying Flying Sword¡¯s frequent restraints, her attack rate slowly lacked strength. The interruption from Dragon Slaying Flying Sword made the momentum she gather disperse, so she was unable to launch a series of ferocious attacks. After a fierce onslaught, White Haired Heavenly Empress suddenly stopped. Her long hair fluttered chaotically and her chest also rose and fell rapidly. She was in somewhat awkward state. A grand Heavenly Empress actually was unable to do anything to the younger generation disciple of Cloud Mist Sect? White Haired Heavenly Empress was also surprised and her complexion was unsightly. The cultivation base of Ye Chuan was not up to much, although Peak Daoist Master Realm expert was already a peak expert in the eyes of younger generation disciples, but for Heavenly Empress, they were far from being her opponents. However, Ye Chuan¡¯s means were extraordinary. With the help of Nan Tiandu and others coupled with Heaven Concealing Umbrella and Dragon Slaying Flying Sword, he was able to withstand her attacks. When one side defending and the other side attacking, the attacking party would always consume more energy. White Haired Heavenly Empress who didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid against ordinary Half Sage Realm experts in the past suddenly had a headache. Her eyes flickered and she was forced to start to think of another way. In the past, even when she encountered State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng, she crushed him with her absolute strength, but now, Ye Chuan with Heaven Concealing Umbrella, however, made her feel helpless. No matter how fast her moves were, she couldn¡¯t find any chance to penetrate the defense of Heaven Concealing Umbrella. ¡°So powerful, can this boy truly be able to resist Heavenly Empress?¡± ¡°That¡¯s hard to say, it¡¯s still early, a Heavenly Empress¡¯s means shouldn¡¯t be limited to just this!¡± ¡°Yes, White Haired Heavenly Empress should still have other trump cards, however, in any case, although this Big Senior Apprentice Brother of Nan Batian is not Half Sage Realm, he is even more powerful than ordinary Half Sage Realm experts, no wonder he is so daring!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. The onlooking crowds made comments in succession. They were very enthusiastic. This battle between Ye Chuan and White Hared Heavenly Empress made people open their eyes wide. They finally got to see how they should defend and counterattack. In the Wilderness World, there was a saying, the gap between Peak Daoist Master Realm and Half Sage Realm is huge, no matter how good a treasure and techniques were, a Peak Daoist Master Realm expert could never be the opponent of a Half Sage Realm expert. Ye Chuan who was sitting cross-legged, however, overturned people¡¯s understanding. The reason he was able to stop White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s attacks was inseparable from the support of Nan Tiandu and others as well as Heaven Concealing Umbrella. Now, the experts who similarly had the cultivation base of Peak Daoist Master Realm were not his opponents. He was already so powerful now, once he broke through to Half Sage Realm, who can suppress Ye Chuan, this rising star, in the entire Wilderness World? People were shocked in their hearts. They exclaimed while pointing over from the distance. ¡°Heavenly Empress, how about we make a deal? I will tell you a big secret told to me by Tian Tong before he left and you will let us leave. In addition, from here onwards, the muddy water is under the bridge, how about it?¡± Seeing White Haired Heavenly Empress seemed to be at a loss, Ye Chuan made a suggestion without wasting the time. On the surface, he was easily resolving the attacks of White Haired Heavenly Empress as if he was invincible, but in fact, he had already reached the edge, Nan Tiandu and others were also the same. If White Haired Heavenly Empress had continued to launch a series of ferocious attacks, perhaps, she would have thoroughly crushed Ye Chuan¡¯s party. For Ye Chuan¡¯s party, every second they stayed here in Heavenly Yao Sect was more dangerous, not to mention White Haired Heavenly Empress, there furthermore were many experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°What secret?¡± Zhao Tianbi asked as her eyes lit. From her perspective, she basically didn¡¯t need to make a deal with Ye Chuan. Although she was helpless for the moment, just as onlookers said, she still had many trump cards. This was within Heavenly Yao Sect, she, the Heavenly Empress, had many means. However, Heavenly Yao Senior Tian Tong within Heavenly Yao Cave was too important for Heavenly Yao Sect. He was the living fossil of Heavenly Yao Sect, was the spiritual pillar that supported successive Heavenly Empresses for millions of years. The sudden disappearance of Heavenly Yao Senior must have something to do with the intrusion of Ye Chuan in Heavenly Yao Cave. Under normal circumstances, White Haired Heavenly Empress wouldn¡¯t have even bothered to discuss terms, but the final words of Heavenly Yao Senior were too important. ¡°A secret concerning your Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s founder, Blue Eyed Yao Empress.¡± Ye Chuan replied. His tone was calm like he was just speaking a simple matter, but the onlooking crowd was shocked. Regardless of guests or Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples, they were the same. Who was Blue Eyed Yao Empress? She was the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect, was the legend in the Sage Era of millions of years ago, what secret did she leave? Was Ye Chuan talking nonsense, or to say, Blue Eyed Yao Empress truly left behind a secret inheritance or treasures? After the shock, most of the people didn¡¯t believe, thinking Ye Chuan was talking nonsense to get out of here. Some true senior experts of Heavenly Yao Sect, however, said nothing, just looked at Ye Chuan with obvious excitement flashing through their eyes. Many disciples knew that there was a great expert with an unfathomable cultivation base living in Heavenly Yao Cave who was known was Heavenly Yao Senior. But, not even a few knew that Heavenly Yao Senior was also called Tian Tong. White Haired Heavenly Empress accidentally saw the notes left behind by previous Heavenly Empress long ago, only then, she knew that Heavenly Yao Senior was also called Tian Tong. Since Ye Chuan could say Tian Tong, this proved that he truly had something to do with the disappearance of Heavenly Yao Senior, moreover, they two have talked. Perhaps, Blue Eyed Yao Empress, the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect, truly left behind a secret and Heavenly Yao Senior told Ye Chuan before leaving. White Haired Heavenly Empress and a few experts of Heavenly Yao Sect became more and more excited. Soon, people who doubted began to notice the difference and they simultaneously closed their mouth and were similarly excited. They couldn¡¯t wait for Ye Chuan to immediately speak out the secret of Blue Eyed Yao Empress, the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect. Chapter 666: Final Move ¡°Okay, deal, speak!¡± Without much consideration, White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi agreed. Ye Chuan took out a brush and a paper from inside his Cyan Lotus Space and quickly wrote something, then folding this paper, he flicked it to the front of White Haired Heavenly Empress. ¡°Damn, can¡¯t he just say it?¡± ¡°Yes, this boy is not straightforward enough! What kind of secret did the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect leave?¡± The people made an uproar and commented in succession. Originally, everyone had closed their mouths and listened carefully, waiting for Ye Chuan to speak out the secret. But, to their surprise, Ye Chuan actually wrote the secret on the paper. This itched the heart of people. White Haired Heavenly Empress grabbed the paper and unfolded it to look. There were just some simple words on the paper, ¡°Blue Eyed Yao Empress still hasn¡¯t died.¡¯ Instantly, the complexion of aloof White Haired Heavenly Empress also changed greatly. ¡°Impossible, how is this possible?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress was shocked and had a disbelief look. Since the establishment of Heavenly Yao Sect, millions of years had already passed and numerous Heavenly Empresses had ruled over the sect. Even the Master of White Haired Heavenly Empress who was the previous Heavenly Empress had also already turned into dust tens of thousands of years ago. How could Blue Eyed Yao Empress, the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect, still be alive? After the shock, White Haired Heavenly Empress believed that Ye Chuan was lying, deliberately making this so-called secret in an attempt to escape using this deal. The complexion of White Haired Heavenly Empress became cloudy, and slowly, it became cold as she emitted dense killing intent. Then, she ferociously glared at Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Boy, dare to toy with me?¡± A flame ball suddenly appeared on her palm and burned that paper into ashes. The onlookers were disappointed as were the experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. It seemed that it was already impossible to learn the secret left behind by Heavenly Yao Senior. But, looking at the current appearance of White Haired Heavenly Empress, there seemed to be something wrong. ¡°There are mountains beyond the mountain, heaven beyond the heaven, just because you can¡¯t believe it, don¡¯t arbitrary think that it¡¯s impossible. In the current Wilderness World, you are indeed one of the best experts, but in the era where your sect¡¯s founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress existed, your level of cultivation is nothing, just because you can¡¯t believe doesn¡¯t mean that it¡¯s an impossible matter.¡± Ye Chuan looked at White Haired Heavenly Empress who was emitting strong killing intent and faintly added after a pause, ¡°What, are you going to go back on the promise you made in public?¡± ¡°Just some random words, is that considered a secret? Boy, you are overestimating yourself. It is not that this mistress is going back on my words, it¡¯s you who are being crafty!¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress raised her sword and with dense killing intent, she ferociously said: ¡°Besides, even if this mistress is going back on my words, what can you do? Hahaha, boy, even if you have a great ability, you are dead today. Don¡¯t think about delaying for time, there is no one in the entire Wilderness World that can save you, hahahaha¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress laughed loudly and her laughter reverberated throughout the sky. Then, she began to initiate ferocious attacks again and crisp metal colliding sounds rang in the ears of everyone again. But, even after a series of attacks, seeing she was unable to breach through the defense of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, White Haired Heavenly Empress jumped onto a tall stone pillar and her cold voice resounded throughout the world, ¡°Where are the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect? All step forward and arrange Heavenly Yao Sword Formation!¡± ¡°We obey!¡± The onlooking disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect bowed in succession and stepped forward. Then, with Ye Chuan¡¯s group as the center, they began to lay down a big sword formation. Heavenly Yao Sect was full of experts. In the blink of an eye, ten thousand people formed a super battle formation. Everyone held a sharp sword in their hands and a sharp flying sword was hovering above their heads. These flying swords had different shapes, sizes and colors, but all of them were extremely sharp and shining with pallid light without exception. Among these ten thousand disciples, most of them were ordinary outer disciple, even some servants were mixed in, but there were also great experts like Black and White Elders. After laying down a sword formation with the combination of their powers, the instant those ten thousand flying swords attacked at once, who under heaven could stop that attack? The guests from various sects took a deep breath. They knew that White Haired Heavenly Empress was going all-out. She didn¡¯t care about her status, she just wanted to kill Ye Chuan¡¯s party. Under the Heaven Concealing Umbrella, the complexion of Ye Chuan and others suddenly changed. They were nervous like never before. Even Diamond Ape King who had never been afraid of killing involuntarily shivered. When the Heavenly Yao Sword Formation took shape, an overwhelming pressure crushed Ye Chuan¡¯s group. This pressure far surpassed the pressure exerted by White Haired Heavenly Empress. Once the attack was launched, not to mention them, even Heaven Concealing Umbrella might be destroyed, leaving nothing behind! ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, boy, this mistress will see what method you have to deal with this! Those who dare to fight against my Heavenly Yao Sect must die!¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress laughed heartily. But, before long, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Her left hand was itching. She raised her left hand to look and saw that it was swollen, moreover, it was dark as if it was covered with a layer of black ink. A black line was rapidly spreading towards her shoulder. Wherever the black line spread to, that place swelled. ¡°Boy, was that paper poisoned?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s complexion changed. She couldn¡¯t laugh any longer. ¡°Yes, it was poisoned, moreover, with a fatal poison.¡± Ye Chuan sneered. ¡°Boy, you¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress was both angry and surprised. She swayed and nearly fell down from the stone pillar. The poison was far fiercer than she imagined. ¡°Heavenly Empress, since you can be treacherous and ruthless, why can¡¯t other people cheat you? My Cloud Mist Sect doesn¡¯t have such a huge sword formation like your Heavenly Yao Sect, but in terms of making pills and poison, we are one of the very best in the entire Wilderness World.¡± Ye Chuan paused and added, ¡°Heavenly Empress, if I were you, I will definitely not waste my time in superfluous words at this moment, rather urgently search for an antidote. Without the antidote of my Cloud Mist Sect, you are screwed, soon, your entire body will fester and die.¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress immediately turned hostile after looking at the slip of paper, little did she imagined that Ye Chuan also had prepared a route of escape. The secret he mentioned was true. He believed that Blue Eyed Yao Empress was still alive. Heavenly Yao Senior had said that she was waiting for him somewhere just before he faded away. However, White Haired Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t believe him, that was her problem. This was often the case between two people, speaking lies, many people would believe it to be the truth, speaking truth, no one would believe. Chapter 667: The Foundation Under thousands of staring eyes, White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi suddenly raised her sharp sword with dense killing intent, and in the next moment, when people believed that she would initiate a series of ferocious attacks again, an astonishing scene appeared. White Haired Heavenly Empress cut off her poisoned left arm. All the people present here, regardless of the guests of various sects or the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect, all were startled. For millions of years, Heavenly Yao Sect had been flourishing and its every generation Heavenly Empress was renowned existence of the Wilderness World, who had ever been able to drive a Heavenly Empress to such a plight? Ruthless! This mistress was truly ruthless! The eyelids of Ye Chuan flickered and his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated. Afterward, Ye Chuan took a deep breath and crazily circulated Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body, preparing to execute the last step of this action plan, a plan he had not told anyone. ¡°Kill, kill these people of Cloud Mist Sect!¡± ¡°Kill¡­¡± After chopping off her one hand, White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s face became somewhat paler, looking even colder and expressionless. However, her eyes were hatefully glaring at Ye Chuan as her astonishing energy fluctuation rose further. Under her order, the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect shouted loudly and the Heavenly Yao Sword Formation began to activate. Even before the true attack arrived, incomparable energy wave whistled over which made Heaven Concealing Umbrella above Ye Chuan¡¯s party emit cracking sounds as if it was about to break apart. The might of Heaven Concealing Umbrella was astonishing, Ye Chuan also understood every magical effect of Heaven Concealing Umbrella, unfortunately, his current cultivation was too weak to display the real might of this peerless treasure. If this went on, then everyone would die and Heaven Concealing Umbrella might also fall to pieces. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, leave first!¡± Nan Tiandu suddenly stood up and roared. A huge phantom that resembled a dragon and also a mouse appeared behind him as he prepared to risk his life against Heavenly Yao Sect. ¡°Yes, Your Excellency, leave first!¡± ¡°Kakaka, brothers, being able to drag down a Heavenly Empress to be buried with us is worth all the risks!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin and others also stood up, preparing to risk their life like Nan Tiandu. Since White Haired Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t ask for the antidote and directly cut off her poisoned left arm, this clearly stated that they had to fight to their last gasp today. Nan Tiandu and others had no other way but to risk their lives. No one wanted to die, but since there was truly no way out and was forced to a hopeless situation, what could they do beside risking their life? ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, leave? Where can you all run to?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress who was standing on the towering stone pillar roared with laughter. The cut on her left arm was still bleeding, but, she didn¡¯t even look at it, she just glared at Ye Chuan as her energy fluctuation rose higher and higher. She was prepared to make a deadly move using all her strength. This move was very ferocious, even similarly Peak Half Sage Realm experts wouldn¡¯t dare to take it head-on. The complexion of onlooking crowd suddenly changed and they retreated far away. Everyone understood that regardless of Ye Chuan¡¯s party or White Haired Heavenly Empress, all would use all their strength. This battle was destined to leave a big mark in the history of Wilderness World. Just the aftermath of this battle would be very ferocious, if they were too close, even a Peak Daoist Master Realm expert might not survive. At this moment, the sky was covered with dense black clouds and lightning would flash often along with thunders. After tens of thousands of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples laid down a huge Heavenly Yao Sword Formation under the command of White Haired Heavenly Empress, boundless energy fluctuation spread all around, and it even attracted the change in heaven and earth, seemingly, heaven and earth couldn¡¯t bear the imminent fierce battle. The guests of various sects admired Ye Chuan¡¯s party. In the past tens of thousands of years, only Ye Chuan might be the person who had driven a Heavenly Empress to this step. If Ye Chuan was also a similarly Peak Half Sage Realm expert, then that wouldn¡¯t be worth mentioning, but a trifling Peak Daoist Master Realm expert actually created such a big commotion, this made people admire him. Unfortunately, such a millennium genius would fall and disappear forever today! In people¡¯s eyes, regardless of Nan Tiandu or Ye Chuan, in terms of cultivation base and courage, they were astonishing and were the rare one in a million geniuses of Wilderness World. Unfortunately, their opponent White Haired Heavenly Empress was too powerful. These two were doomed to die in her hands. Rumble, a rumbling sound came from far away. At first, it sounded like the sound seemed to have come from the horizon, seemingly, a herd of wild horses were galloping over from the distant place; after a while, this sound got bigger and bigger and also closer and closer, seemingly coming from the depth of the ground, even the ground was shaking; gradually, the shaking of the ground became more and more violent, seemingly the ground wanted to split into two; crackling sounds continuously resounded and looking over, many cracks had appeared all over the vast earth. ¡°Not good, Heavenly Yao Sect is collapsing!¡± ¡°Good gracious, what is that?¡± The crowd quickly fell into chaos. The neatly arranged disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who were about to launch a ferocious attack were also no exception. Many people were unable to stand stably and the huge Heavenly Yao Sword Formation also collapsed before the fight. Some sharp-eyed fellows became the first to see an astonishing scene. In the distance, the towering peaks sank and collapsed, while some other peaks arched from below the ground. In the blink of an eye, Heavenly Yao Sect with countless peaks turned upside down. Not long after, the new arched peaks connected in series. Looking from the distance, it looked like a huge earth dragon coiling on the boundless land, crushing Heavenly Yao Sect under it. The rumbling sounds still continued and the dragon got bigger and bigger and came out of the ground as if it wanted to slowly soar into the sky. ¡°Dragon Vein Foundation, this is Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Dragon Vein Foundation!¡± ¡°Yes, whoever can obtain this Dragon Vein Foundation of Heavenly Yao Sect will replace Heavenly Yao Sect and become the first sect under heaven!¡± The experts of various sects exclaimed, quickly recognizing the identity of that huge earth dragon. Every powerful sect was built above a dragon vein. Only like this, the sect would have enough worldly spiritual qi for the cultivation of later generation disciples. Heavenly Yao Sect naturally was no exception. For millions of years, Heavenly Yao Sect prospered until it became the cultivation overlord under heaven. Admittedly, this was inevitably linked to the all-out efforts of successive Heavenly Empresses, but the foundation laid down by the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect Blue Eyed Yao Empress millions of years ago was also very important, which determined the current position and prestige of Heavenly Yao Sect. Under the threat of Heavenly Yao Sect and White Haired Heavenly Empress, Ye Chuan used his ultimate trump card. He used a technique to destroy Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s foundation. Originally, he didn¡¯t intend to do this. Not for the monk¡¯s sake, but for the Buddha¡¯s, no matter what was said, this was also the sect left behind by his former follower, Blue Eyed Yao Empress. In those years, Ye Chuan also spent a lot of effort to establish Heavenly Yao Sect. However, White Haired Heavenly Empress pressed too hard and didn¡¯t give any leeway for maneuver, thus Ye Chuan was also forced to break the cauldrons and sink the boats. Now, if White Haired Heavenly Empress led Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples to attack recklessly, then his party would be screwed, but from this time on, Heavenly Yao Sect would also turn into the history of Wilderness World, completely annihilated in the long river of time. Chapter 668: Guardian Beas t The face of White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi became paler, she even trembled slightly. Standing on the towering stone pillar, she could see farther. She could clearly see the changes within the entire Heavenly Yao Sect. The ancient Dragon Vein Foundation was about to be destroyed. At this moment, no one was more panic and restless than her, this Heavenly Empress. Impossible, how could something happen to Dragon Vein Foundation and abandon Heavenly Yao Sect at this moment? Could it be that my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s luck reached the end? White Haired Heavenly Empress was shocked and stunned like never before. For the first time, she was full of fear for the future. A part of her prestige came from her strong cultivation, but even more came from her position of Heavenly Empress of Heavenly Yao Sect. Once Heavenly Yao Sect fell, she would no longer be a prestigious Heavenly Empress. Like that, she might still be able to pressure some small sects, but if she wanted to compete with Daqin Dynasty, Ancient Sword Sect and other large sects, then that would be impossible. What¡¯s more, she would be suppressed and chased by other cultivation overloads endlessly. In the past, White Haired Heavenly Empress had summon wind and rain in the entire Wilderness World. Although her prestige had brought her a lot of benefits, it had also created a lot of powerful enemies. Those enemies were nothing troublesome when Heavenly Yao Sect was still powerful as even if they hated her, they could at most only scheme secretly, wouldn¡¯t dare to retaliate publicly, but, once Heavenly Yao Sect declined, the consequences were unthinkable. The ground continued to shake, the huge earth dragon became clearer and clearer. Countless buildings and palaces within Heavenly Yao Sect collapsed, and many ancient restrictions fell apart. Now, from top to bottom of Heavenly Yao Sect, from White Haired Heavenly Empress to a small-time messenger, all panicked. Some ran all around while dodging the cracks and huge boulders that fell from high places; some quietly took off the standard robe of Heavenly Yao Sect and mixed with the disciples of other sects; some even took advantage of this confusion to run away from Heavenly Yao Sect. In the past, these disciples fought fiercely for the benefit, but once the chaos arrived, they ran away faster than anyone else. There was a disciple who was scared witless, not to mention he was running away still in Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s standard robe, he was also shouting while running away, the result, just before he rushed out of the gate, his steps suddenly stopped and his body was suddenly cut into two halves. ¡°Arbitrarily running away and messing up my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s soldiers¡¯ morale, kill!¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s voice was a lot colder. She had cut this poor disciple into two halves with a single sword swing from the distance. At this critical moment, White Haired Heavenly Empress used quick means, trying to suppress the panicked disciples. Unfortunately, the ground shook more and more violently and more and more cracks appeared on the ground. An army in flight was like a landslide, the former momentum of Heavenly Yao Sect fell into chaos and it was too late to redeem. At that time, a loud roar suddenly came from the distant mountain peak. A huge white snake rose from the direction of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Heavenly Pond and flew over. ¡°Guardian beast, our sect¡¯s guardian beast has come out¡± ¡°At this critical moment, guardian beast really came out to guard the sect¡¯s fate¡± Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples quickly became excited, feeling relieved. White Haired Heavenly Empress who was standing on the stone pillar also secretly sighed in relief. Like Heavenly Yao Cave, Heavenly Pond was also a forbidden area of Heavenly Yao Sect. The disciples were strictly forbidden to set foot in that place. Many disciples had never been to Heavenly Pond and didn¡¯t know the grand scenery of that place, but, they still knew the legend regarding the Heavenly Pond. They knew that a white snake lived there and it was the sect¡¯s guardian beast that suppressed the sect¡¯s fate. Allegedly, the guardian beast would come out when Heavenly Yao Sect faced a fatal disaster. The legends were legends, some people didn¡¯t have the slightest doubt, some nevertheless didn¡¯t believe it. But now, at this critical moment, a white snake truly soared from the Heavenly Pond and came out, no matter how inflexible a person one, he had to believe the legend. However, soon, people were dumbfounded. The white snake flew over, but didn¡¯t make a move to suppress the Dragon Vein Foundation that was abandoning Heavenly Yao Sect, rather it landed beside Ye Chuan and stuck out its tongue to lick Heaven Concealing Umbrella in Ye Chuan¡¯s hand with intimate appearance. ¡°Okay, okay, White Lady, you are finally back.¡± Ye Chuan reached out his hand and gently stroke the white snake¡¯s head. He could see the previous appearance of White Lady in the white snake beside him. ¡°Good, good, it¡¯s good that you are back, after you thoroughly regain your wisdom and transform into a person, we will explore to the ends of the earth together again, I will take you to the Outer World to look for Yao Empress.¡± The white snake whimpered a few times. It didn¡¯t quite understand the words of Ye Chuan, it just moved its head around Heaven Concealing Umbrella and a layer of mist appeared in its big black eyes. Ye Chuan sighed inwardly. He knew that this white snake had come to his side not because it had regained its wisdom and remembered him, its master, rather it instinctively felt a wisp of intimate feeling inscribed in its soul, nothing more. The moment when she completely regained her wisdom might be the next moment or tomorrow or after a long period of time. ¡°White Lady, rest assured, wait until I return to my peak, then I will help you regain your wisdom.¡± Ye Chuan was a little sad. Caressing the head of this white snake, he recalled the past years when he was together with White Lady, Blue Eyed Yao Empress and other followers. Back then, he and Blue Eyed Yao Empress established Heavenly Yao Sect, wanting to turn this place into their own palace, but now, he actually had to personally destroy the sect. In the world, the saddest thing was not a fatal disaster, rather personally destroying their beautiful things. Witnessing Heavenly Yao Sect falling into chaos, numerous disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect ran away. When a wall was about to collapse, everyone gave it a shove, but, Ye Chuan was not excited, on the contrary, a hint of sadness could be seen in his eyes. If he had any other choice, then who would be willing to personally destroy one¡¯s own painstaking effort? Even a great devil who killed people like flies would treasure his own homeland. Ye Chuan was sad, but, the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect and the guests of various sects were stunned. White Haired Heavenly Empress who was standing on the stone pillar was also the same. A grand guardian beast of Heavenly Yao Sect didn¡¯t make a move to suppress the Dragon Vein Foundation at the critical moment, on the contrary, ran to the opponent¡¯s side with an intimate appearance, how was this possible? Ye Chuan, who exactly was he? What relation did he have with Heavenly Yao Sect with long inheritance? After being shocked, White Haired Heavenly Empress felt a kind of inexplicable fear. Suddenly, she recalled how Ye Chuan was able to control Heavenly Yao sect¡¯s restrictions when he created havoc in Heavenly Yao Sect in the past, and also recalled the sudden disappearance of Heavenly Yao Senior. Could it be that Ye Chuan was speaking the truth? Blue Eyed Yao Empress, the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect, was still alive? And Ye Chuan was sent by her? These thoughts that suddenly appeared in the mind of Heavenly Yao Empress took root in her heart, making her feel fear. As the supreme Heavenly Empress, she was already accustomed to being unrestrained and people¡¯s admiration and worship. With the sudden appearance of Blue Eyed Yao Empress¡¯s emissary to take over the control of Heavenly Yao Sect, she didn¡¯t know how to face it. Should she bow down to Ye Chuan, this boy? Should she work herself to death for him? No, never! White Haired Heavenly Empress gritted her teeth and suddenly exerting strength on her tiptoes, she dived down from the stone pillar, going all-out to stab Ye Chuan¡¯s vital part. Chapter 669: Wilderness Guardian Ye Chuan who had been caressing the white snake¡¯s head turned around and only saw a gleam of cold light. That was a sharp sword along with White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s dense killing intent and resentment. This sword was much faster than any other previous moves, and at the same time, a cold voice resounded throughout the sky. ¡°When I became the Sage, I want the endless void to not stop my step.¡± ¡°When I achieve the Dao, I want this sword to not stop by anything thing in the world!¡± The ground was still shaking and the mountain peaks were collapsing. The entire Heavenly Yao Sect was in chaos and filled with screams. Even in this condition, White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s voice clearly echoed in everyone¡¯s ears. Not to mention she went all-out in this attack, she furthermore didn¡¯t hesitate to spend a large amount of her vitality to use Great Wishing Technique to vastly increase the power of this attack. Instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Ye Chuan. What Heavenly Empress, she was just a lunatic! Ye Chuan¡¯s pupils shrunk, instantly, this sword of White Haired Heavenly Empress was the only thing in his world. He just saw a wisp of pallid light getting closer and closer. Although he was already prepared for the worst, Ye Chuan had never expected White Haired Heavenly Empress to act recklessly at this moment. White Haired Heavenly Empress turned a blind eye on the situation of Heavenly Yao Sect and wanted to kill him. ¡°Your Excellency, watch out!¡± ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡­¡± Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others exclaimed. For a moment, they were flustered and didn¡¯t know whether they should continue sitting down to support Ye Chuan or block White Hair Heavenly Empress¡¯s sword in Ye Chuan¡¯s place. Merely, this small hesitation caused them to miss the best chance. The sword of White Haired Heavenly Empress ferociously stabbed on Heaven Concealing Umbrella. Ding, the sword in White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s hand bend to ninety degrees and then broke into two halves. At the same time, Ye Chuan¡¯s purlicue also broke and Heaven Concealing Umbrella slipped out of his hand. His complexion turned pale and he vomited a mouthful of blood. Heavenly Yao Sword Formation collapsed before the fight, thus, it didn¡¯t bring any real threat, but, Ye Chuan had spent a lot of vitality. Taking advantage of this moment when Ye Chuan was distracted, White Haired Heavenly Empress used Great Wishing Technique to launch a deadly move. ¡°Hahaha, hahahaha, boy, go to hell¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress laughed. After finally breaching Heaven Concealing Umbrella which was like a tortoise-shell in Ye Chuan¡¯s hands, how could she miss this chance? She flashed over and raising the remaining half of her sword, she thrust it towards Ye Chuan¡¯s chest, wanting to pierce Ye Chuan¡¯s heart. On the other side, Nan Tiandu and others were shocked and angry. They immediately launched attacks without any hesitation, even the white snake initiated ferocious attacks as if it seemed to remember something. However, White Haired Heavenly Empress turned a blind eye on the attacks of others. In her eyes, there was only Ye Chuan. Not to mention Nan Tiandu and others, even if Blue Eyed Yao Empress, the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect, appeared, she would kill Ye Chuan today. At that moment, a graceful figure suddenly rushed out from behind Ye Chuan, blocking this fatal move of White Haired Heavenly Empress. No one knew when Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had woken up, at the final moment, she used her own body to block the attack meant for Ye Chuan. The sharp broken sword ruthlessly stabbed her body. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia shook, then blood flowed out along the blade. The sword of White Haired Heavenly Empress had completely pierced through her chest. ¡°Zixia, you¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress looked at Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who had appeared suddenly in a daze. This was beyond her expectations. Nan Tiandu and others were also startled. ¡°Master, this¡­ this is the last time I am calling you Master, from¡­, from now on, Zixia will not¡­, not owe you anything¡­¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia slowly said as she leaned weakly on Ye Chuan and her complexion got paler. Even after White Haired Heavenly Empress threw her into Heavenly Yao Cave, she didn¡¯t regret it, and she also didn¡¯t hate the ruthless White Haired Heavenly Empress. She believed that she violated the sect¡¯s regulation in order to save Ye Chuan, thus, she had neither complain nor regret. Although White Haired Heavenly Empress was ruthless, she also couldn¡¯t forget those carefree days when she followed her as a child. That was the happiest time for her. Heavenly Empress could become unfeeling, but she couldn¡¯t. Perhaps, this was the reason she sunk down to being a prisoner from a grand Heavenly Maiden. ¡°Good, good, then die together with this kid, this mistress will help you two achieve your aim!¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress pulled out the broken sword from Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s body and rushed over, wanting to kill both Ye Chuan and Hong Zixia together. Now, White Haired Heavenly Empress who had an exquisite face in former days looked especially ferocious like a great devil who killed people like flies, where was her previous aloof and refined demeanor? ¡°Zhao¡­ Tian¡­ bi¡­¡± Ye Chuan was angry. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the broken sword of White Haired Heavenly Empress. White Haired Heavenly Empress just sneered, this was all she could wish for. But, just when she was about to take advantage of this moment to kill Ye Chuan, she saw Ye Chuan standing in front of him and her heart suddenly trembled, feeling a kind of fear she had never felt before. What kind of eyes were those, deep and ice-cold, like an ancient existence of the legend without a hint of emotion. Ye Chuan¡¯s eyes were cold, but his heart was burning hot. Twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans within his body circulated crazily and so rapidly that cracks began to appear as they swelled, in addition, incomparably violent energy fluctuation gushed out of his body as if a volcano was about to erupt. Explode! Ye Chuan also went crazy. Hugging Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was getting weaker and weaker, he was ready to risk everything. He wanted to explode all twelve Heaven Swallowing Talismans. Even if he died, he wanted to drag down this lunatic White Haired Heavenly Empress with him. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, no¡­¡± ¡°Your Excellency¡­¡± The complexion of Nan Tiandu and others greatly changed. They quickly understood what Ye Chuan wanted to do, but it was already too late to stop. Ye Chuan was already like a burning hot fireball that was about to explode. The mind of White Haired Heavenly Empress trembled, and instantly, also became clear-headed. She wanted to retreat, but she was grabbed by Ye Chuan and couldn¡¯t get away. She could only helplessly watch the energy fluctuation of Ye Chuan getting more and more violent. ¡°Ai, as the people of Wilderness World, why are you two doing this?¡± A faint sigh suddenly came from the void. Just when Ye Chuan was about to explode and perish together with White Haired Heavenly Empress, a cyan robed person suddenly appeared in front of people. Without any sign, he tore open the void and walked out. He then suppressed Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s Dragon Vein Foundation back into the ground and the ground also stopped shaking, in addition, the seething Heaven Swallowing Talismans within Ye Chuan¡¯s body also gradually subsided. ¡°Master¡­¡± The eyes of Nan Tiandu lit up and quickly greeted. The person who had come was none other than that cyan robed Seventh Elder who haunted the rear mountain of Cloud Mist Sect. ¡°We pay respect to Old Meng!¡± Upon seeing cyan robed Seventh Elder, the experts of all sects trembled and simultaneously greeted respectfully. Even White Haired Heavenly Empress who set herself high above others had a change in countenance, like other people, bowed in front of this cyan robed person. She didn¡¯t fear even the emissary sent by Blue Eyed Yao Empress as the remote places are beyond the reach of administration; but in front of cyan robed Seventh Elder, this Wilderness Guardian, she didn¡¯t dare to be unbridled at all. Chapter 670: Wilderness Era ¡°The matter of today, drop it here.¡± The cyan robed Seventh Elder looked around and faintly said. ¡°Old Meng, this¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi raised her head and looking at Ye Chuan with hatred, she gritted her teeth. Although the Dragon Vein Foundation of Heavenly Yao Sect was already suppressed and the foundation was still there, many palaces, structures and restrictions were already destroyed. It was very hard to estimate the loss. In addition, she had lost one arm, so how could she just drop the matter here? ¡°What, Zhao Tianbi, do you have any objection?¡± Meng Qi asked. ¡°I don¡¯t dare, you are the guardian of Wilderness World, you have the final say.¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress lowered her head and didn¡¯t dare to look at Meng Qi again. Although she didn¡¯t dare to speak out, her tone, however, was somewhat stiff, she was still unwilling in her heart. Naturally, after considering everything, she still didn¡¯t dare to go against the command of Meng Qi. The Wilderness Guardian, that, however, was not elected by the people, rather rose from the sea of blood and corpse mountain. A very, very long time ago, in the era when sages roamed around in Wilderness World, there was no such thing as Wilderness Guardian, there were only Great Sages with heaven-defying cultivation base. That was the most glorious Sage Era in the history of the Wilderness World. Later, the Sage Realm experts either passed away or vanished and Wilderness World stepped into the new era. The outstanding heroes contended for hegemony and the world fell into chaos. The strong fought each other and the common people suffered disaster, leading to a terrible situation. This was known as the Age of Barbarism. In the later stage of the Age of Barbarism, Meng Qi suddenly rose and defeated every cultivation overlord, one by one. Then, he came to be known as Wilderness Guardian. From this point on, the overall situation of Wilderness World gradually stabilized, which was known as Guardian Era. White Haired Heavenly Empress had always set herself high above the masses and was very conceited, but, in front of Meng Qi, this Wilderness Guardian, she didn¡¯t dare to speak her mind and also didn¡¯t dare to come into blows with him. Even the previous Heavenly Empress, i.e. her Master, was defeated in the hands of Meng Qi without any suspense; the same was true for previous previous Heavenly Empress, after challenging the Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi, she returned and died after three days. The moment Meng Qi ascended to the throne of Wilderness Guardian, he publicly announced that anyone who didn¡¯t accept can come to directly challenge him and the winner could replace him as Wilderness Guardian. For tens of thousands of years, many experts challenged him, openly or secretly, but not a single one emerged victoriously. Fortunately, although Meng Qi outmatched all dynasties and cultivation sects of the Wilderness World, he never took part in the private affairs of these forces and ignored the struggle between the sects, therefore, people were sincerely convinced and willingly accepted his administration. This time, why did Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi suddenly appear? The experts of various sects were confused, naturally, White Haired Heavenly Empress was also the same. The more she thought, the more unreconciled she was. For a long time now, Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi never took part in the fight between the sects. Although this battle between Ye Chuan and herself caused a sensation, who would have thought that this battle would actually alert Meng Qi, this Wilderness Guardian? What did he want to do? ¡°Zhao Tianbi, your Heavenly Yao Sect has a long inheritance and is the number one sect. Your sect¡¯s Dragon Vein Foundation is extraordinary, if it truly broke away from the binding and flew away, then it would shake our Wilderness World¡¯s crystal wall, or might even tear a new time and space rift, making even more experts of the Outer World crash their way through.¡± Meng Qi understood the doubt of everyone present and explained in brief. He will not intervene in the fight between the sects. At that time, when Cloud Mist Sect was almost destroyed by State teacher Jiang Tunsheng and over 200,000 Daqing Dynasty¡¯s soldiers, he didn¡¯t even lift a finger. However, if something threatens the crystal wall and shook the foundation of the Wilderness World, then he couldn¡¯t just sit by and watch. Ye Chuan¡¯s last move would not only inflict heavy damage on Heavenly Yao Sect, it would also affect the entire Wilderness World. It turned out to be like this! Everyone present here suddenly saw the light and recalling the astonishing destructive might of that Dragon Vein Foundation, their complexion turned pale. At that time, many people were still gloating in their hearts, waiting for the destruction of Heavenly Yao Sect. But now, looking back, they knew how dangerous that situation was. Nowadays, the crystal wall of Wilderness World was already shaky and there were already many time and space cracks, which led to many experts of Outer World quietly entering the Wilderness World, challenging the existing order of the Wilderness World. Once a huge time and space crack appeared, perhaps, it might be the doomsday of Wilderness World, everyone might become the slave of the great expert of the Outer World. ¡°Ye Chuan, how about dropping the matter here today?¡± Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi turned to Ye Chuan. Although the words had the same meaning, his tone was much different. There was no room for negotiation when he was speaking to White Haired Heavenly Empress, but it was a lot more peaceful when speaking to Ye Chuan. Anyone could see the difference. These two not only knew each other, they seemed to be very close friends. The complexion of White Haired Heavenly Empress sank and her heart felt heavier. He had the protection of Wilderness Guardian, no wonder Ye Chuan, this boy, dared to be so crazy! How could she avenge herself in the future? White Haired Heavenly Empress gritted her teeth, but no matter how angry she was and how much unwilling she was, she could only grit her teeth and swallow them. From the lesson of successive Heavenly Empresses, even if she had the guts of a leopard, she wouldn¡¯t dare to challenge Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi, unless she broke through to Sage Realm. Sage Realm, yes, I must break through to Sage Realm! White Haired Heavenly Empress inwardly vowed in her heart and endured this humiliation by gritting her teeth. ¡°Fine, Seventh Elder, it¡¯s settled like this today. But, in the future, I, Ye Chuan will return and personally kill Zhao Tianbi!¡± Ye Chuan spat out words, one by one. Afterward, carrying severely injured Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he flew away. Old Demon of Mount Yin and others quickly followed after him. Only Nan Tiandu remained, standing next to Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi. ¡°Master, I¡­¡± Nan Tiandu looked at his teacher who had an unfathomable cultivation base, then looked at Ye Chuan and others who had stepped into the transmission formation and hesitated. He also hadn¡¯t seen his master Meng Qi for a long time and there were many doubts in his cultivation to ask for advice. In addition, in front of his master, he also didn¡¯t dare to rashly leave, otherwise, it would be disrespectful. However, his heart was already not here. He was very clear about his Big Senior Apprentice Brother Ye Chuan¡¯s character. After returning to Cloud Mist Sect, if Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was saved, then everything would naturally be fine, but if by chance, she wasn¡¯t saved, then he was afraid¡­ Nan Tiandu didn¡¯t dare to imagine how sad and angry Ye Chuan would become if he witnessed Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia die in his arms. At that time, who could appease the sadness in his heart, who could control his bellowing flames of fury? The more Nan Tiandu thought, the more he feared. With regard to Master Meng Qi, he only felt respect, but, with regard to Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice Brother, he felt respect as well as indescribable fear. Facing Ye Chuan, he felt like he was facing a supreme expert. Clearly, his cultivation was much higher than Ye Chuan, but why did he still feel this way, Nan Tiandu also didn¡¯t understand. But from the past when he challenged Ye Chuan under the incitement of other people, this feeling had already taken root in his mind. He was unable to eliminate it. ¡°Go.¡± Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi faintly instructed. ¡°Master, take care of yourself!¡± Nan Tiandu bowed, then flew away, and at the last moment, he stepped into the transmission formation and disappeared together with Ye Chuan and others, returning to Cloud Mist Sect. Behind, the complexion of everyone changed. Master? As it turned out Nan Tiandu¡¯s true identity was the personal disciple of Wilderness Guardian. Perhaps, he was the next Wilderness Guardian, no wonder he was so crazy and so powerful. Then, what about Ye Chuan? What was his true identity? The experts of various sects were shocked. White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s heart, however, became even heavier and she was almost out of breath. Chapter 671: End of Life Cloud Mist Sect, Heavenly Dragon Hall of Heavenly Dragon Peak. This once remote and bleak rear mountain was named after Heavenly Dragon Rice was planted. Compared to other peaks in Cloud Mist Sect, it didn¡¯t have many palaces and appeared especially quiet. After taking over the control of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t migrate to the highest Cloud Mist Peak, rather continued to stay here. He liked the tranquility of this place. He liked to smell the fragrance of Heavenly Dragon Rice, meditating under Heavenly Dragon Rice; he also liked to watch the clouds in the horizon and the seething mist of Evil Dragon Abyss, standing at the peak. However, after returning from Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan was no longer in a leisurely and carefree mood. For seven full days, he didn¡¯t walk out of Heavenly Dragon Hall. In the room with a burning fireplace, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was weakly leaning on Ye Chuan. After seven days, the wound on her chest was already bandaged and was no longer bleeding. However, her body had gotten even weaker. In these past few days, her heart had already stopped beating several times. Her face was deathly pale without a hint of blood. Heavenly Empress¡¯s sword had pierced through her chest. This was a certain death mortal wound. From the top to bottom of Cloud Mist Sect, all thought that Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was already dead. Even swallowing many elixirs would also be of no avail. However, every time Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s heart stopped beating, Ye Chuan use some kind of unknown technique to save her. Ye Chuan also didn¡¯t have any elixir, in addition, before he reached the peak of his previous life, he was unable to use many techniques, thus, he could just use indigenous methods to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. He continuously injected his own vital energy into Hong Zixia to help her continue to barely survive. This, however, was just a temporary stopgap that merely cured the symptoms, not the disease. Like this, no matter how high the cultivation of Ye Chuan was, his vitality would be exhausted, besides, after the battle in Heavenly Yao Sect, a large amount of his vitality was already exhausted. In just short seven days, the vitality of Ye Chuan was already in the brink of complete exhaustion, but, the condition of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was still not improving. After injecting vitality into Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia again, Ye Chuan felt dizzy and he had to stop. He took a little breather while hugging Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and combing her hair. In these past seven days, Ye Chuan had refused the help of any servants and personally attended Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s every aspect. When it was cold, he would use quilt to cover Hong Zixia and burn the fireplace; if it was hot, he would take off her coat and used warm water to wash her face. In the past seven days, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s wound had gotten more and more serious. From the burning hot fireplace, crackling sounds came from time to time, but, holding Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was on the verge of death and caressing her pitch-black glossy hair, Ye Chuan¡¯s heart, however, was getting colder and colder. A very long time ago, there once was a woman that leaned on his embrace like this, letting him comb her hair and let him put on her most beautiful clothes. That woman said that, even if she had to die, she wanted to die in her most beautiful form. And after personally burying that woman, Ye Chuan pledged to never fall in love with anyone for the rest of her life as he didn¡¯t want to taste that feeling of helplessly watching his loved one die in his embrace. Thus, he turned to work hard until he finally stood at the pinnacle of Wilderness World, becoming Heaven Concealing Great Sage that summoned wind and rain. In those years, there was never a shortage of women around him, but all were just in for the fun, he never had any true love. Ye Chuan had thought that, in this life too, he would be far away from love affairs, but, beyond his expectation, after reincarnating, he fell in love with another woman again. In addition, he again felt the pain of his previous life. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s heart had already been pierced by White Haired Heavenly Empress, even the best elixir was powerless to reverse this situation. ¡°Darling, how can I save you?¡± Ye Chuan tightly hugged Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s cold body laden with grief. When they met for the first time, they had gotten into a disagreement; when they broke into Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, they competed with each other; in the same Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, all sorts of feelings of resentment finally turned into love¡­ A scene after scene floated in his mind as if everything happened yesterday, recalling about their dispute, recalling about how Hong Zixia had disguised herself to sneak into Cloud Mist Sect to meet him, recalling about cultivating Demonic Dragon Sutra in pair¡­ ¡°Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan¡­¡± The unconscious Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia seemed to have sensed something and suddenly called out, but her voice was even weaker than that of a newborn kitten and her eyes opened slightly. ¡°Zixia, I¡¯m here.¡± Ye Chuan gently turned Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia around and hugged her emaciate waist. ¡°Ye Chuan, truly¡­, is that truly you?¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia reached out and grabbed Ye Chuan¡¯s hand. She was honestly too weak, she was so weak that she was even unable to open her eyes as clear teardrops continuously flowed down her cheeks, ¡°Ye Chuan, I¡­, I don¡¯t want to die, I want to live together with you for lifetime¡­¡± Even more tears flowed down Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s face and tightly held Ye Chuan¡¯s hand, worrying that she might never wake up again. She didn¡¯t fear death, rather she didn¡¯t want to die and wanted to accompany Ye Chuan. From youngest to eldest, White Haired Heavenly Empress had made her accustomed to being indifferent and sternly disciplined her to set herself high above the masses. She must not easily talk to other people, she mustn¡¯t laugh heartily and also mustn¡¯t reveal her real thoughts in front of other people, just cultivate to become next Heavenly Empress. During childhood, Hong Zixia cried and made noise, but under the intimidation of White Haired Heavenly Empress, all were futile efforts. Later, she slowly became accustomed to indifference and locked her heart away from everyone, becoming an ice-cold beauty. Until one day, she encountered Ye Chuan and her icy heart was melted by him, restoring her natural instincts. At that time, she understood, she truly needed to be together with Ye Chuan, rather than becoming the next Heavenly Empress. Together with Ye Chuan, she had happier days than before. In the past, although she seemed aloof and remote in others¡¯ eyes, she was dead inside and cold Heavenly Yao Sect was a huge ice-cold tomb. But, together with Ye Chuan, she recovered her natural instincts and happiness. Unfortunately, such days were short-lived. She didn¡¯t want to die, she didn¡¯t want to lose such happiness she had just obtained. ¡°No, Zixia, with me here, you will not die.¡± Ye Chuan tightly hugged Hong Zixia. Although his mouth was comforting, his nose was sour and tears dripped on Zixia¡¯s fair but cold neck. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia froze. Because her eyelids were very heavy, she was unable to open her eyes and couldn¡¯t see Ye Chuan¡¯s appearance. However, at that instant, she understood everything and her face darkened. In the next moment, she quickly adjusted her mood and a hint of vigor floated in her pale face, ¡°Ye Chuan, is it day or night now?¡± ¡°Day, the sun has just rose,¡± replied Ye Chuan. ¡°Then, can you take me out for a walk?¡± The complexion of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia became brighter as if she was full of spirit, ¡°You said that the sunrise of Cloud Mist Sect is the most enchanting, take me to see the sunrise, okay?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and carrying weak Hong Zixia, he slowly walked out step by step. Outside Heavenly Dragon Hall, Zhu Sijia, Little Long¡¯er, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others had been waiting all along. Upon seeing Ye Chuan coming out, all of them were startled. In just seven days they had not seen Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan¡¯s hair had turned completely white. Chapter 672: Frozen ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother¡­¡± Zhu Sijia quickly greeted with anxiety on her face. When Ye Chuan hadn¡¯t come out for seven straight days, she had also stayed outside for seven straight days. Old Demon of Mount Yin, Little Long¡¯er and others were also the same. Everyone understood the condition of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. They were worried that Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t be able to bear this heavy blow. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t say anything. He just looked indifferently at Zhu Sijia and walked past everyone carrying Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia towards the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss. That place was the highest position of Heavenly Dragon Peak. It was also the best place to enjoy the sunrise. Zhu Sijia wanted to follow him, but Old Demon of Mount Yin stopped her and shook his head. ¡°Jiajia, let His Excellency calm down a bit.¡± The complexion of Old Demon of Mount Yin was cloudy. They had intruded Heavenly Yao Sect and recused Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia with great difficulty, but beyond their expectation, the final result was like this. In order to help Ye Chuan block the fatal move of White Haired Heavenly Empress, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was about to pass away. One can well imagine Ye Chuan¡¯s pain. At this time, instead of making meaningless consolation, letting Ye Chuan clam down a bit and let him enjoy his last moment together with Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was much better. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, you must stand firm¡­¡± Zhu Sijia muttered and stopped following. But, looking at the somewhat staggering back view of Ye Chuan, her heart was very unwell. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t pay any attention to anyone outside. He gradually got further away, carrying Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia on his back. Feeling the life force of the latter was getting weaker and weaker, his heart sunk more and more. On the contrary, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia who was at the end of her life, however, got all the more energetic. Although she was still unable to open her eyes, her voice got a bit louder, ¡°Ye Chuan, the woman who spoke just now, was she your junior apprentice sister Zhu Sijia?¡± ¡°Yes, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head, wondering why Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia suddenly asked this. ¡°Her voice truly is pleasant to hear, she must be very beautiful too. After I die, with her beside you helping me take care of you, I can rest assured.¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia said. Ye Chuan¡¯s heart ached. He walked towards Evil Dragon Abyss in large strides, ¡°No, Zixia, you will not die. Didn¡¯t you say you still want me to accompany you to watch the sunrise?¡± ¡°The sun, is it out yet?¡± asked Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. ¡°It¡¯s already out, just rising from the east, now, it¡¯s gradually crossing the dark clouds.¡± Ye Chuan looked up and quickened his steps towards Evil Dragon Abyss. ¡°Mmm, I can already feel it, this sunlight is truly warm¡­¡± Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia said as her voice got weaker and weaker, ¡°Ye Chuan, you say, is there really underworld and afterlife? After people die, can they really meet again?¡± ¡°There is!¡± Ye Chuan nodded as he walked faster, dragging his exhausted body towards the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss. In the sky, the sun was gradually coming out from layer upon layer of dark clouds, spilling myriads of golden rays. This golden light illuminated the cloud layer, making the sky look magnificent, and once this light reached the ground, it made all creations on earth charged with vitality. Under the illumination of the sunlight, Ye Chuan¡¯s spirit shook and his speed clearly accelerated, but when he was just ten or so meters away from the edge of Evil Dragon Abyss, he suddenly stopped. The hands of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia that had been hugging his neck had come loose at an unknown time and was hanging down loosely. Her body had also gotten colder. Even under the illumination of the sunlight, her body was cold. ¡°Zixia, Zixia¡­¡± Ye Chuan called out in a small voice, slowly laying down Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia from his back and hugging in his embrace. He then reached out to touch. The latter had already stopped breathing. This time, no matter how much vitality he injected, it was useless. At the final moment of her life, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia insisted Ye Chuan to take her to watch the sunrise of Cloud Mist Sect. Myriads of golden rays sprinkled from the horizon as the rose from the horizon, creating a magnificent scenery, unfortunately, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was already unable to see this. Before she opened her eyes to watch this sunrise, she stopped breathing forever in Ye Chuan¡¯s back. ¡°No¡­¡± A heartbreaking cry suddenly resounded throughout the sky. Zhu Sijia, Little Long¡¯er and others¡¯ hearts shook. They knew what had happened. Zhu Sijia couldn¡¯t endure anymore and rushed towards Evil Dragon Abyss. Little Long¡¯er, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others also followed behind. They were filled with worries. Nan Tiandu who was rushing over from a distant big mountain of Cloud Mist Sect paused. He was holding a jade bottle and inside that jade bottle, there was a green-colored medicinal pill. When everyone was waiting outside Heavenly Dragon Hall, Nan Tiandu had resolutely left the sect to look for his Master Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi. He knelt before him for three days and three nights. Finally, his master consumed a thousand years¡¯ worth of energy to refine this life-extending pill. Originally, Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi intended to use this pill when he had to cross his calamity, but since Nan Tiandu, his disciple, begged him, he gave it to him. As Wilderness Guardian who was above any forces and sects, Cyan Robed Elder Meng Qi never took part in the private affairs of Wilderness World. Because of a chance encounter, he gave Ye Chuan a few pointers, but it was impossible for him to use all his strength to help Ye Chuan. However, although he could remain indifferent to anyone else, it was impossible towards Nan Tiandu. After fusing with Evil Dragon Meng Ao on the physical and spiritual level, now, Nan Tiandu was his only personal disciple. Nan Tiandu suddenly roared and revealing his Soaring Dragon Rat form, he didn¡¯t waste any time to fly rapidly towards Heavenly Dragon Peak. When he reached Evil Dragon Abyss, he discovered that Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had truly stopped breathing. He was a step too late. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t utter a word, turning a blind eye to the people arrived here. It was unknown where he found a sarcophagus, he gently picked up Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia and placed her into it, then quietly stared at her face without moving. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia seemed peaceful, it looked like she had just fallen asleep and was even dreaming something good as a hint of smile could be seen on her face. At the last moment of her life, although she was unable to see the sunrise of Cloud Mist Sect, being able to die on Ye Chuan¡¯s back, perhaps, she was already very satisfied and happy. The sounds of sobs resounded. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t cry, just looked stupefied. Zhu Sijia and other disciples of Cloud Mist Sect who had rushed over, however, kept wiping their tears. Little Long¡¯er also cried. Among the numerous dear ones and followers around Ye Chuan, only he followed Ye Chuan to explore Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. He was perfectly clear about how hard it was for Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia to walk together. In the end, they came to an agreement to cultivate together and promised to break off the binding of the sects, then explore the world together. Ye Chuan climbed up one step at a time with painstaking effort and experienced the baptism of blood and fire, gradually becoming an expert, but, Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia passed away, she was unable to wait for that day. In the ice-cold sarcophagus, a cold qi formation was placed which quickly wrapped Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s body. This was Cold Icebound Restriction Ye Chuan placed on the sarcophagus, which froze Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s body. After a long period of time, Ye Chuan finally covered the sarcophagus and began to lay down heavy restrictions on the sarcophagus. In Heavenly Yao Sect, even when facing the danger of White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, he was reluctant to easily use the dragon vein crystal, but he inlaid it on the sarcophagus without any hesitation in order to supply continuous energy to the restrictions of the sarcophagus. After a person¡¯s life ended, even a Peak Sage Realm expert had no way to resurrect that person, but what about after surpassing his previous life¡¯s pinnacle, what about breaking past Peak Sage Realm? Ye Chuan had a great regret in his heart. He froze Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s body because he wanted to preserve her body until he surpassed his previous life¡¯s pinnacle. In his previous life, he just concealed heaven, in this life, he wanted to swallow heaven. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia quietly lying in the sarcophagus urged him to long even more for the might to swallow heaven. Chapter 673: Returning to Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm After the addition of layer upon layer of restrictions, Ye Chuan carried the heavy sarcophagus and stood up. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, where are you going?¡± Zhu Sijia¡¯s heart was filled with worries. She was worried that Ye Chuan wouldn¡¯t be able to endure this heavy blow and do something stupid. If he attacked Heavenly Yao Sect in impulse again, then it would be very dangerous. Ye Chuan naturally hated White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi to his bone marrow, but the latter who had lost an arm also hated Ye Chuan. If they meet again, then they would not rest until one of them died! ¡°Going to a place no one knows, Little Long¡¯er, come with me!¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s voice was hoarse. He called Little Long¡¯er and flew away with a heavy sarcophagus. The latter immediately transformed into Demon Dragon and followed behind. One person and one dragon quickly left Cloud Mist Sect and disappeared from the sight of people. After Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s body was frozen, the next step was to find a place to bury. Although Cloud Mist Sect was showing the signs of recovery now and the internal areas were heavily guarded, when the world fell into chaos, even Heavenly Yao Sect wouldn¡¯t remain unscathed, not to mention Cloud Mist Sect. Cloud Mist Sect was not secure enough to bury this sarcophagus. The Dragon King Island under the control of White Dragon Sage and his wife Chu Hongniang was relatively safe, but it was too far away from Cloud Mist Sect. After considering for a bit, Ye Chuan thought of a place, Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. That place was the place where he and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia had turned into lovers from enemies. That place witnessed their love and it was also the place where they two experienced life and death together. Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia would definitely be happy to be buried there. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t say a word, his speed, however, got faster and faster. In the end, Little Long¡¯er who used to have faster speed was unable to keep up. The two passed mountains and ridges, getting farther and farther away from Cloud Mist Sect. In the beginning, Little Long¡¯er was still at a loss. He didn¡¯t know where Ye Chuan was taking him. But slowly, as he got closer and closer to the Demon Dragon Paradise Realm, he understood a little. The love between Ye Chuan and Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia started from Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, it would also be ended in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, this could be regarded as a glorious final destination. But the question was, Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm had already collapsed, how can they get in? ¡°Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm is huge and magnificent, it is a completely different world inside with layer upon layer of restrictions. Although it has already collapsed, the entrance is not completely blocked. As long as we spend a little bit of time, we inevitably will find a way to enter.¡± Ye Chuan explained briefly as he understood the doubt in Little Long¡¯er¡¯s heart at a glance. ¡°Okay, I will listen to Big Brother¡¯s arrangement!¡± Little Long¡¯er nodded his head and acted obediently, obeying Ye Chuan. Besides, since it had already been several years, he also wanted to return to Demon Dragon Paradise Realm to see his mother Agusiteli buried inside. Before long, one dragon and one human rushed to the site of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. And after careful observation, they found a layer of soil that was relatively thin. They then directly dug a tunnel in that place and entered. Just as Ye Chuan expected, many places inside had already collapsed and were covered with soil, but there were also many places that had not been damaged under the protection of the restriction. Basically, there were relatively well-preserved areas at intervals. Relying on his powerful spirit, Ye Chuan searched these areas and entered Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, returning to the once familiar place. In the dark underground, Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er carefully advanced. Compared to before, it was more difficult to travel through this collapsed Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Often, not to mention they had to dig a tunnel, they also had to take precautions against various kinds of remaining incomplete restrictions and traps. These incomplete restrictions were even more difficult to detect because they were even more inconspicuous than the intact one. In an extremely short distance of one thousand meters underground, a human and a dragon encountered many traps. Fortunately, they were able to forcibly break through them relying on their powerful cultivation. Continuing on with their journey, they dug more tunnels and arrived at a space. Ye Chuan carrying sarcophagus on his shoulder was walking in the front and Little Long¡¯er was following behind. It seemed that this place originally ought to be a huge palace. Later, during the collapse, a large amount of soil poured in, but space was still left in this hall which was surrounded by rocks as tall as humans. It seemed there were no restrictions and traps, merely it was difficult to travel, nothing more. The two people strode forward. But, while walking, Ye Chuan who was walking in the front carrying a sarcophagus suddenly stopped. ¡°Big Brother Ye Chuan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Little Long¡¯er was a little surprised. He looked left and right but couldn¡¯t sense any danger. Just when he wanted to ask further questions, he was absolutely terrified upon hearing subtle rustling sounds. In addition, beside him, the earth slid like a quicksand. Within collapsed Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, the collapse of rocks and earth again was normal, but it was different this time, after the earth slid, a humanoid giant appeared. It was over five meters tall, its body was extremely sturdy, but had a frightening ox-head. Little Long¡¯er instantly felt a strong danger. Bang, before Little Long¡¯er could react, Ye Chuan had already made a move. The lower body of the ox headed person was broken into a pile of crushed stones. The upper part, however, rushed towards the two people using two hands to support. The remaining half actually hadn¡¯t died. Ye Chuan coldly snorted and made a move again. This time, he attacked the head of this ox headed person and this fellow thoroughly died. Although its combat power was not high, its vitality was frighteningly tenacious. Getting caught off guard by this fellow would be dangerous. ¡°Big Brother Ye Chuan, what is this?¡± Little Long¡¯er asked with lingering fear while looking around, worried that another similar fellow would suddenly pop out of the ground. Now, Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm had already been covered by a large amount of soil, no one knew how many such fellows were hidden inside this soil. ¡°This is a stone puppet, the head is the only vital part. If you encounter such fellows, then either escape quickly or smash their head, remember this.¡± Ye Chuan warned Little Long¡¯er and squatting on the ground, he felt about. In the past when he had entered Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, Little Long¡¯er was not together with him and he had not seen the power of these stone puppets. After feeling about for a while, Ye Chuan really found a small cyan crystal man, this was a treasure popped out from that stone puppet¡¯s head. Many runes were inscribed on it, should be a merit law. At that time, this type of cyan crystal man was a rare treasure. Every time it appeared, it caused a lot of fights. Liu Hong, that hot and sexy Miss of Five Style Sect, had used all kinds of schemes to obtain this. Even at that time, Ye Chuan was not too interested in these puppets, he was even less interested now. It was just a familiar thing that made him recall past events, nothing more. He roughly took a glance at it and tossed it to Little Long¡¯er, ¡°This should be a merit law, Little Long¡¯er, try to comprehend it.¡± ¡°Many thanks, big brother.¡± The eyes of Little Long¡¯er shone and at a glance, he sensed that the merit law recorded in this small cyan crystal man was not simple. It was not up to much for Ye Chuan, but for others, it was a rare peerless merit law, ¡°Big Brother Ye Chuan, are there many such stone puppets?¡± Just a moment ago, Little Long¡¯er was worried, but now, after getting a treasure, he was so excited that he couldn¡¯t wait to encounter more such stone puppets like Liu Hong and others who had arrived in the forest of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm in those years. ¡°I don¡¯t know, maybe.¡± Ye Chuan faintly said and continued to advance, carrying the heavy sarcophagus. The sudden appearance of the stone puppet made this operation even more dangerous, but, Ye Chuan was fearless, and he directly went straight towards the end of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Chapter 674: Demonization Not long after they advanced, one person and one dragon successively encountered several stone puppets one after another. There were frightening ox headed persons, burly tiger headed persons and also frightening dog-headed persons. Taking advantage of the darkness, they suddenly burst out of the soil. In those years, when exploring Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm with the disciples of Black Cauldron Sect, Five Style Sect and others, Ye Chuan¡¯s cultivation was very ordinary. Even at that time, he was not afraid of these stone puppets, why would he fear them now? He directly crushed everything that blocked his way and advanced rapidly. Ye Chuan wasn¡¯t afraid of fighting these stone puppets, he only feared that they would suddenly encounter a large group of stone puppets and get trapped. Once the aftermath of the battle was too intense, it might trigger the collapse of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm again which would be troublesome. A person and a dragon seeped up, gradually reached the deeper area of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. The past magnificent Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm had already changed beyond recognition, there were collapsed stones and dirt everywhere. It was difficult to distinguish the direction in this darkened place. Even if average people could dig a tunnel to enter, it would be almost impossible for them to find Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm¡¯s forbidden area, Demonic Dragon Hall. Ye Chuan, however, was different, under the direction of Little Long¡¯er, they made their way towards Demonic Dragon Hall. All along the way, if there was no path to walk, they would dig a tunnel. To various cultivating sects, Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm was an ancient ruin of Wilderness World, but to Little Long¡¯er, this place, nevertheless, was his home, was the dwelling left behind by his mother Agusiteli. He had a special sense towards his mother¡¯s remains. Following this special sense, he continuously pointed the right direction, and one human and one dragon slowly approached Demonic Dragon Hall. At the same time, many memory fragments appeared in the mind of Little Long¡¯er, and he became more and more familiar with Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm and began to lead the way. Originally, his true body had been wandering in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm for many years, and it was very familiar with every inch of this land, merely, his wisdom was sealed. Later, his grandfather brought back his reincarnated body to Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm and his body and spirit merged together. Returning to Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm again, many memories came to his mind and he missed his mother even more, thus, his speed became faster and faster. After digging a tunnel again, a person and a dragon arrived at an open and spacious auxiliary palace. From this place, Demonic Dragon Hall was already not far away. Little Long¡¯er got excited. He held his head high and roared as he accelerated again. But, just when he was able to pass this auxiliary palace, he suddenly sensed something and stopped. The rustling sounds came from the end of this auxiliary palace and a stone puppet guard walked out. This stone puppet guard didn¡¯t appear any different from other stone puppet guards they encountered before, it was even short and slight with a dull expression, but it was wearing a tattered battle robe. The key point was, this battle robe looked somewhat familiar as if they had seen it somewhere. After observing carefully, it actually was Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s standard battle robe. ¡°Eh¡­, Big Brother Ye Chuan, look¡­¡± Little Long¡¯er exclaimed in confusion. ¡°This is a dead disciple of Cloud Mist Sect, after eroded by the poisonous mist, he has already turned into a stone puppet guard.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s cold voice resounded from behind Little Long¡¯er. Looking at this stone puppet guard that suddenly appeared from the dark and blocked their way, his eyes were filled with sadness. At that time, there were a lot of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples who followed him to explore Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, but later, only less than half returned to Cloud Mist Sect alive. Among the three large sects of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, that was a pretty good result. The loss of Black Cauldron Sect and Five Style Sect was even more disastrous, especially Five Style Sect, all the elite disciples were almost wiped out. This gave Ye Chuan a chance to completely eliminate these two sects in one fell swoop and established the revival foundation of Cloud Mist Sect, embracing the entire Cloud Mist Mountain Range. The stone puppet guard wearing Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s standard battle robe that was standing at the end of the auxiliary palace rushed over and suddenly pulling out the sword hanging on its waist, it ferociously attacked Little Long¡¯er. Although he had already died and turned into a stone puppet, the merit law he learned before his death was still not forgotten, in addition, because it didn¡¯t have a sense of pain now, its combat power was more powerful. Roar! Little Long¡¯er roared and ferociously swept his thick tail towards this stone puppet guard. Afterward, one human and one dragon continued to advance, but before they took a few steps, they heard heavy footsteps from behind. That stone puppet guard was actually chasing after them. After ferociously colliding against the wall, it had already lost its right leg, but it was still chasing, relying on its remaining left leg. In addition, its eyes had turned red at an unknown time resembling an injured beast. ¡°No, this is not petrification, rather demonization!¡± The complexion of Ye Chuan changed. This time, he rushed up without waiting for Little Long¡¯er to make a move, and grabbing the throat of this stone puppet guard, he lifted it. Then, he carefully observed the eyes of the latter and his complexion became more and more solemn. He then punched the head of this stone puppet guard and said, ¡°Yes, really is demonization.¡± As a former Heaven Concealing Great Sage, Ye Chuan was experienced and knowledgeable. He quickly noticed the unusualness of this stone puppet guard. Although the poisonous mist on both sides of Demonic Dragon Path was powerful, it could just petrify people, turning them into a stone puppet, nothing more. It absolutely couldn¡¯t demonize the stone puppets. Encountering demonized stone puppets here meant that the situation was serious. Over these years, what changes had taken place in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm? Was a peerless great devil hiding here, cultivation some kind of evil merit law, or¡­ Ye Chuan frowned. Little Long¡¯er was even more worried, worried about their safety and also worried about his mother¡¯s remains in Demonic Dragon Hall. Although his mother had already died, her remains in the sarcophagus were well preserved without rotting. She looked as if she was alive and could come back to life at any time. The corpse of such a Demonic Dragon Monarch was definitely a treasure of infinite value to the people in the demonic path. If this news was leaked, countless devils who walked demonic path would be attracted. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, don¡¯t be too anxious, the ancient restrictions of Demonic Dragon Hall is the strongest. Since even these auxiliary palaces are preserved, not need to mention about Demonic Dragon Hall. In addition, it is impossible for average devils to break in. Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± Ye Chuan knew what Little Long¡¯er was worried about and patted his shoulder to comfort him. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Little Long¡¯er nodded his head and flew ahead, leading the way. After exiting the auxiliary hall, a thick layer of soil blocked their way. Thus, they two dug a tunnel and advanced. After an hour, they actually arrived at a square, the soil piled up here was already cleared away by someone. Looking from the distance, a group of devils was sitting cross-legged on the ground around a bonfire, having a meal. There was a transmission formation beside them. At the end of the square, towards the direction of Demonic Dragon Hall, the sounds of fighting were coming along with the shaking of the ground. It seemed that someone was trying to break the restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall. Sure enough, evil demons and heretics had come here and wanted to break into Demonic Dragon Hall! Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er looked at each other, their complexion was solemn. Chapter 675: Puppet Demonic Sec t The devils sitting cross-legged on the ground quickly ate their fill, then they all stood up and left. At the same time, another group of devils appeared at the end of the square. All of them looked exhausted. They walked over to the bonfire, sat down and grabbed the remaining roasted meat to eat. There were some people who didn¡¯t eat at all, just directly laid down and sleep beside the bonfire. It seemed that these devils were taking a turn to attack Demonic Dragon Hall¡¯s restriction. To build the transmission formation, it would take a lot of time, it was unknown how long ago these devils had broken into Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. ¡°Let¡¯s go a bit closer and see what they are doing!¡± Ye Chuan whispered and quietly sneaked in. It was dark around the square. The bonfire couldn¡¯t illuminate far away. In addition, these devils were exhausted and weren¡¯t paying attention, thus, they didn¡¯t notice the arrival of Ye Chuan and Little Long¡¯er. This was a discarded ancient ruin that collapsed long ago. There were remnants of restrictions and traps everywhere. There were also many stone puppet guards. Average people couldn¡¯t reach here even if they had high cultivation. Therefore, these devils were in a completely unguarded state, they basically didn¡¯t expect other people to sneak in. ¡°Come come come, eat faster! We don¡¯t have much time, eat well and continue to work, if Sect Master saw you all lazing around, then don¡¯t think that you all will leave this abandoned paradise realm alive.¡± A small commander looking devil shouted loudly. He had an ox leg in his hand, he bit it while speaking in a low, muffled voice. He was also tall like an ox and a big horse, and his body hair was thick like a big black bear. ¡°It has already been seven days since we are attacking the restriction, but it is not broken yet, captain, you say, can we truly break this restriction?¡± A devil who was beside this small commander asked. ¡°Shhh, lower your voice, do you want to die?¡± The small commander signaled to lower his voice. After that, he looked towards the direction of Demonic Dragon Hall and seeing no one was paying attention to this side, he relaxed. Then, he glared at the devil beside him and ferociously said, ¡°Little Seven, hereafter, keep your mouth shut! If Sect Master heard you, then you will die and refined into a battle puppet!¡± The devil nicknamed Little Seven shivered and didn¡¯t dare to speak anymore. He lowered his head and continued to chew the bone in his hand. At that time, he suddenly sensed something. He raised his head and looked, and he seemed to vaguely see someone standing in the dark. How can there be someone here? Little Seven was puzzled. He rubbed his eyes and watched again and was all the more certain that there was a figure in the dark who seemed to be carrying a coffin on his shoulder. This scared him so much that he shivered, ¡°Cap¡­, captain, there¡­, there is someone¡­¡± ¡°Of course, there is someone, are these brothers sitting beside you not people?¡± The small commander glared at Little Seven and cursed. ¡°No¡­, no, captain, look, right behind you, there is a person carrying a coffin!¡± Little Seven trembled. That shadow standing in the dark made him feel inexplicable danger. Upon seeing Little Seven didn¡¯t seem to be talking nonsense, numerous devils simultaneously looked at the direction he was pointing. Sure enough, they vaguely saw a figure. Like a ghost, that figure had quietly appeared behind everyone without anyone knowing. What¡¯s more frightening was, that man was really carrying a coffin on his shoulders, making people absolutely terrified. ¡°Who¡­ who¡¯s there?¡± The small commander forcibly calmed down, but his legs involuntarily trembled. His expression was not much better than Little Seven. ¡°Puppet Demonic Sect is handling affairs here, unconcerned people should leave!¡± ¡°You all¡­, invade this lordship¡¯s home and you all still want this lordship to leave?¡± A faint voice with cold indifference and dense killing intent resounded. Along with the small commander, dozen or so devils sitting around bonfire got nervous. And before they had time to figure out how to reply, the sounds of footsteps came from the dark as the mysterious person carrying a coffin approached them. The devils became even more nervous, and they pulled out their sharp sword in succession. In the past, once they pulled out their sword, they looked like murderous devils, but now, they were trembling, the closer that mysterious person got, the more violently they trembled. No one knew whether this mysterious person was a person or a ghost. ¡°Ai, with this small amount of ability, you all want to attack Demonic Dragon Hall, don¡¯t you all think this is too whimsical?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and walked to the front of these devils. After observing from the dark for a while, he took the initiative to walk out. The cultivation of these devils was not that bad, but their cultivation realm was just roughly Rank 1 Daoist Master Realm, moreover, all of them were exhausted. He and Little Long¡¯er were more than enough to deal with them. ¡°You¡­, who exactly are you?¡± The small commander asked. He wanted to pretend to be calm and fierce, but, his legs involuntarily trembled. The sword in his hand was dazzling, but he didn¡¯t dare to move forward. The cultivation of Ye Chuan gave him an unfathomable feeling. And the coffin on his shoulder made him feel even more disturbing. ¡°This lordship has already said, this lordship is the master of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, on the contrary, who exactly are you all?¡± asked Ye Chuan. ¡°I¡­, we are the disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect, one of the eight great demonic sects of Wilderness World. Youngster, our Puppet Demonic Sect¡¯s Sect Master Red Robed Old Ancestor is personally leading this time, if you don¡¯t want to die, then quickly leave, leave as far away as possible from Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm!¡± The small commander assumed stern countenance and said. Inwardly, he, however, was trembling. He quietly reached towards the message talisman in his bosom. As long as he crushed this talisman, Sect Master who was attacking Demonic Dragon Hall would rush over. The appearance of Ye Chuan was too sudden. Many devils were caught unprepared and everyone was nervous and at a loss for a while. Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm had long collapsed, in addition, all kinds of restrictions and traps could be found everywhere, a single great expert couldn¡¯t sneak in. Even their Puppet Demonic Sect¡¯s Sect Master Red Robed Old Ancestor had to use tremendous effort and rely on an ancient transmission scroll to arrive here, then set up a simple transmission formation here to teleport the elite disciples here. How did Ye Chuan who was carrying a coffin quietly arrived here? Could it be that he truly was the master of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm? This small commander was clearly not convinced with the words of Ye Chuan. Who didn¡¯t know that Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm was an ancient ruin? How can it have the master? But, at this moment, seeing Ye Chuan quietly appearing in front of them, they couldn¡¯t help half believing and half doubting. Perhaps, Ye Chuan was also a great devil, perhaps, even more powerful and peerless great devil than their Sect Master Red Robed Old Ancestor. Perhaps, he had arrived here before Puppet Demonic Sect forcibly occupied Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, and now, at the critical time when they were attacking Demonic Dragon Hall, he decided to appear! The small commander became solemn. The more he thought, the more he believed his deduction was the truth. He coldly looked at Ye Chuan and made a prompt decision. He wanted to crush message talisman to sound the alarm and ask for help. However, at that time, a strong wind blew from behind. When he hastily looked behind, he saw a ferocious dragon head had already arrived behind him looking murderous. When Ye Chuan came out to attract the attention of everyone, Little Long¡¯er who had transformed into a demonic dragon took advantage of this chance to initiate ferocious attacks from behind these devils. Chapter 676: Hun t Roar! With a roar, Little Long¡¯er swept his tail, sending devils flying. That small commander was also no exception. He had no time to dodge. The remaining devils were shocked and also angry. After seeing the situation was anything but reassuring, they had to toughen their scalp and rush up to fight against Little Long¡¯er. Seven or eight people rushed up together, but they were not the opponent of Little Long¡¯er who had already transformed into a demonic dragon. They basically were unable to withstand the attacks of Little Long¡¯er. These years, the cultivation of Little Long¡¯er had also progressed rapidly. Although he had fallen far behind Ye Chuan, his improvement was far faster compared to ordinary people. His innate talent as a demonic dragon was gradually displayed. He didn¡¯t have any powerful innate techniques, his strength, speed and combat power, however, were very strong. For ordinary people, only having a doughty body without powerful techniques, their upper limit wouldn¡¯t be high, and they also couldn¡¯t become a top-notch expert; Little Long¡¯er, however, was different. The growth of his strength, speed and combat power seemed limitless. Even if he didn¡¯t particularly cultivate, his cultivation rose rapidly along with his age and his body was abnormally doughty. Under his sudden attack, these devils were unable to resist at all. ¡°Kill! Get rid of this little dragon for me!¡± The small commander who was sent flying to the ground gritted his teeth, got up and rushed over again. He was similarly Daoist Master Realm expert, but he was a lot more powerful than other devils. Taking advantage of the moment when Little Long¡¯er was occupied with resisting other devil¡¯s attacks, he ferociously used his sword to stab Little Long¡¯er. Upon seeing his attack was successful, he roared with laughter, but soon, his complexion greatly changed and was unable to laugh again. The sharp sword was unexpectedly stopped by Little Long¡¯er dragon scale. The latter¡¯s thickly dotted scales were much stronger than heavy armors of many large sects! The small commander was in disbelief. He pulled back his sword and ferociously stabbed again. This time he used all his strength. Ding, the dragon scales of Little Long¡¯er weren¡¯t harmed at all, on the contrary, his sharp sword snapped into two. For a moment, the devils were stunned on the spot in a great shock. As the disciples of demonic sect, they had seen many kinds of yao beasts, but they had never seen such an unreasonable yao beast. Even a dragon which was several thousand years old might not have as doughty body as Little Long¡¯er! ¡°Captain¡­, this seems¡­, seems like a demonic dragon!¡± That devil nicknamed Little Seven quickly saw the difference of Little Long¡¯er. The build of Little Long¡¯er seemed small, was just a small dragon, but the appearance, the scale on its body and even expression, all were exactly the same as the sculptures of demonic dragon that could be seen everywhere in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. ¡°I¡¯ll go to report to the Sect Master, block it!¡± The small commander observed carefully and his heart trembled. Afterward, he turned around and walked away, hastily running towards the direction of Demonic Dragon Hall. Earlier, when Ye Chuan had said that he was the owner of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, he was not too convinced; but now, there was no doubt in his heart. Silently appearing here in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm that was riddled with restrictions and traps everywhere while carrying a heavy sarcophagus, in addition, with a living demonic dragon accompanying him, other than the owner of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, who would have such ability? The burly small commander was so scared that he trembled and retreated without fighting. He didn¡¯t dare to stay here for even a moment more. With the pretext of reporting, he hastily ran away. Behind, many devils also rushed after him, ignoring his words, not a single one of them dared to stay behind to block Little Long¡¯er. The appearance of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm¡¯s owner was big news. For devils who were in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, this was a terrible disaster. These devils who were fierce in the past also ran away like a mouse that saw a cat. In the entire Puppet Demonic Sect, perhaps, only the Sect Master Red Robed Old Ancestor who was attacking the restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall might be the opponent. Roar¡­ Little Long¡¯er soared into the air and ferociously chased after them. He seized this chance to hunt down fleeing devils. Ye Chuan also said nothing. For Little Long¡¯er, Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm was his home, was the resting place of his mother. He absolutely couldn¡¯t let these devils do whatever they pleased here. Perhaps, because of anger, or perhaps, he was like a fish in water in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, the strength and speed of Little Long¡¯er rose rapidly. He chased after the devils and killed them, one by one. Some people saw that they already couldn¡¯t escape after getting injured, thus, they gritted their teeth and turned around to face Little Long¡¯er, unfortunately, none of them was his opponent, they quickly fell in their blood pool. Not long after, only that small commander was left. Relying on his cultivation, he barely dodged the attacks of Little Long¡¯er while running desperately. In addition, he also crushed the message talisman he had to request the help. ¡°Puppet Demonic Sect, this one of the eight great demonic sects of Wilderness World, does it have any relation with old devil Hei Kui?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t make any move. He let Little Long¡¯er alone chase and hunt down these devils. He just slowly walked behind carrying a coffin. While walking, he suddenly had a thought. A cyan light flashed and a forever smiling wooden puppet doll appeared beside Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan had summoned the old devil Hei Kui. ¡°Your Excellency, are you looking for me? What¡¯s the task this time? Are you making me a bait again?¡± The expression of the old devil remained unchanged, his tone, however, was bitter. He looked pitiful in front of Ye Chuan. In his opinion, Ye Chuan would never summon him without any matters. Originally, he liked to wander outside, he didn¡¯t want to stay inside Cyan Lotus Space all the time, but recently, he was honestly too scared of Ye Chuan. ¡°Eh, yes, this is¡­¡± The old devil Hei Kui looked around and before Ye Chuan replied, he suddenly exclaimed as he vaguely sensed a familiar energy fluctuation, a kind of energy fluctuation used to control puppets. ¡°Hei Kui, do you know Puppet Demonic Sect?¡± Ye Chuan asked directly. ¡°Puppet Demonic Sect?¡± Hei Kui shook his head and said, ¡°In the Wilderness World, there is just Puppet Sect, where is that something Puppet Demonic Sect?¡± ¡°You have never heard of it?¡± Ye Chuan was a little disappointed. ¡°No.¡± The old devil Hei Kui shook his head, but in the next moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and added, ¡°Your Excellency, in that era when I was still active, there indeed was no Puppet Demonic Sect in Wilderness World. However, I was trapped in Evil Dragon Abyss for a long time, perhaps, in that long period of time, branches of Puppet Sect might have appeared. I can sense the unique energy fluctuation of Puppet Sect in the air. Even if this Puppet Demonic Sect isn¡¯t a branch of my Puppet Sect, it is at least related!¡± The old devil Hei Kui was excited. His eyes were shining. For so many years, he always had two wishes, one was to get rid of this puppet doll body and regain his flesh body, the other one was to look for his sect. As the founder of the sect, he never forgot about his sect. After leaving Evil Dragon Abyss with Ye Chuan, he had been inquiring about the news, unfortunately, there was no result. Originally, he thought that after such a long period of time, his sect was already annihilated in the long river of time. But now, suddenly sensing a special energy fluctuation of Puppet Sect here, he couldn¡¯t help getting excited. An angry roar came from far away. ¡°That¡¯s Little Long¡¯er, let¡¯s go!¡± Ye Chuan was surprised, knowing Little Long¡¯er had encountered a formidable enemy and without asking more, he rushed forward. Behind, the old devil Hei Kui also followed closely behind stepping on a flying sword, directly heading towards Demonic Dragon Hall. Chapter 677: Deceased Beauty In front of Demonic Dragon Hall, the experts of Puppet Demonic Sect were attacking the restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall, wanting to break in. There were not many disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect here, only about fifty, wearing a standard battle robe. Beside them, there were over a hundred helpers, both male and female, even tigers, huge snakes and so on yao beasts, but, their expression was dull. All of them were battle puppets controlled by Puppet Demonic Sect. Little Long¡¯er who had rushed ahead was being attacked by three battle puppets, two males and one female. The males were burly and powerful, looking like barbarian warriors. The female was petite and dainty, her bosom was especially full and round, and she looked a little familiar. ¡°Eh, this¡­, isn¡¯t this Five Style Sect¡¯s golden daughter, Miss Liu Hong?¡± Ye Chuan observed for a while and suddenly recalled a person. That person was Liu Hong who was eroded by poisonous mist on both sides of Demonic Dragon Path and petrified into a stone statue. How did a stone statue turn into a battle puppet? Was Liu Hong resurrected? Or did Puppet Demonic Sect used some kind of secret technique? Or, did he recognized the wrong person? Ye Chuan was surprised. He stood at the same place and observed for a while, becoming more and more certain. This female puppet in front of him had a well-developed chest and slender waist on its upper body and had slender legs coming out of its short leather skirt on its lower body. Not to mention it was similar to Liu Hong who had died in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm at that time, its clothing was also exactly the same. The crucial point was, the technique it displayed to move around Little Long¡¯er was not unfamiliar to Ye Chuan. That was exactly the incomplete Cyan Feather Technique he engraved on that giant crystal man. At that time, after he deliberately made this so-called treasure, Liu Hong forcibly seized it, then hastily cultivated the wrong Cyan Feather Technique and turned into a crazy devil, dying in the poisonous mist at both sides of Demonic Dragon Path and turned into a stone statue. Born as a beauty with extraordinary background, she was many times stronger than other women. However, without self-respect and strive to become stronger, regarding oneself infallible and always scheming, in the end, her end was actually like this. Ye Chuan shook his head and sighed. Once upon a time, he once was interested in Liu Hong for a moment, this enthusiastic beauty, but very soon, he got a clear understanding of her true colors. It can be said that she was a deceased beauty. Although he was disgusted with Liu Hong¡¯s behavior, he had not expected her to end up like this. Not to mention the poisonous mist eroded her into an ice-cold stone statue, she was resurrected and refined into a battle puppet, this was the biggest tragedy. In those days when they were exploring Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm together, Ye Chuan also hated Liu Hong. Now, seeing her again in this appearance, he couldn¡¯t hate her. His hate was replaced with faint sadness. Roar! Along with an angry roar, Little Long¡¯er went all-out. Upon seeing the restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall was in imminent danger and these devils were about to break in, he began to use all his strength. But, he was helpless, unable to get away from these three battle puppets. Ye Chuan didn¡¯t make any moves. He just stood in the dark carrying the coffin and observed the battle, but, a cyan light flashed beside him and White Lady who had left Heavenly Yao Sect with him was summoned. This huge white snake quickly rushed up to help Little Long¡¯er. Like Ye Chuan, the cultivation of White Lady was far from being restored to its peak. Even its wisdom was not restored and it didn¡¯t recall the matters of the past, it merely felt intimate towards Ye Chuan. However, even if its cultivation was not comparable to before, was just Peak Daoist Master Realm, its combat power was extraordinary. With her assistance, Little Long¡¯er quickly launched fierce counterattacks and tore those two barbarian puppets into halves, leaving behind only Liu Hong, this female puppet who used its nimble movements to dodge the ferocious attacks of Little Long¡¯er and White Lady. After she was refined into a battle puppet without independent consciousness, her Cyan Feather Technique seemed to have gotten even more outstanding. Being able to reach this kind of level was even beyond the expectation of Ye Chuan. In the end, the old devil Hei Kui, this puppet doll, personally attacked, using a secret technique to control her. ¡°Heh heh, not bad, what a remarkable puppet! Her skin is so tender and smooth, in addition, you can make her do whatever you want, Your Excellency, do you want this subordinate to gift this puppet to you?¡± The old devil Hei Kui dragged Liu Hong who was unable to move back and winked at Ye Chuan. Although his expression was always smiling, his tone showed his boorish style. He had already turned into a puppet doll, but his boorish nature was still unchanged. His little hand continuously moved about the lithe and graceful body of Liu Hong seemingly he wanted to look for a place to execute on the spot. However, looking at his current little hand and little arm, even if he had the heart, he could do nothing. He could only indulge in fantasy. ¡°Enough, kill her directly.¡± Ye Chuan indifferently instructed, looking at devils who were attacking Demonic Dragon Hall. Without the obstruction of these three battle puppets, Little Long¡¯er flew up to the devils and ferociously attacked already exhausted disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect. White Lady also followed behind closely. Then, one dragon and one snake quickly disrupted the formation of Puppet Demonic Sect. Many battle puppets rushed over to block them, unfortunately, they were clearly not as powerful as those three battle puppets of before. They couldn¡¯t stop Little Long¡¯er and White Lady. ¡°Your Excellency, why?¡± The old devil Hei Kui stopped his unscrupulous little hand. But, he was unwilling to get rid of Liu Hong, ¡°Your Excellency, this, however, is a rare battle puppet, even if you don¡¯t like it, you can use it as your guard. Besides, if you don¡¯t want it, then I can¡­¡± ¡°Hei Kui, I will say it again, kill her, give her a break.¡± Ye Chuan looked clam, but his tone didn¡¯t allow any objection. He paused and added, ¡°This woman was my old acquaintance.¡± Old acquaintance? The old devil Hei Kui was a little surprised. Old acquaintance? What a lie, more like an old lover. Ye Chuan understood what this old devil was thinking in a glance, but he was too lazy to explain. Seeing the resolute attitude of Ye Chuan, the old devil Hei Kui was forced to bear the pain and use a technique. Afterward, Liu Hong who was refined into a battle puppet suddenly swelled and exploded into pieces. This was a secret method of Puppet Sect to make the battle puppet in hand explode. Without a doubt, Puppet Demonic Sect was inextricably linked with the ancient Puppet Sect! Destroying a good battle puppet with his own hands, the old devil Hei Kui was somewhat frustrated, but soon, his gaze shifted towards the devils of Puppet Demonic Sects. In particular, Red Robed Old Ancestor, the Sect Master of Puppet Demonic Sect, quickly caught his attention. Watching moves and styles Red Robed Old Ancestor was using to attack Demonic Dragon Hall, his gaze got brighter and hotter. Chapter 678: Puppet’s Way Roar! Little Long¡¯er roared again and again, killing several devils in succession. With the help of White Lady, no one could stop him. Over a dozen battle puppets rushed towards him, but soon, all of them fell to the ground. Like the statues wandering all around Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, the weak point of these battle puppets was their head. With a single claw of Little Long¡¯er, he made their heads explode. The ancient Demonic Dragon Hall rumbled as light screen covering it became fainter and fainter. The ancient restriction was on the verge of collapse. However, at this time, the appearance of Little Long¡¯er had disrupted the planning and deployment of these devils. ¡°Damn, this damned fellow!¡± A red robed old man who had been attacking the restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall rushed over and ferociously attacked Little Long¡¯er while cursing. In just a few moves, Little Long¡¯er was in danger. Upon seeing this, White Lady gave up other small devils and rushed over. Then, one dragon and one snake joined hands, fighting against this old man. This person Red Robed Old Ancestor, the Sect Master of Puppet Demonic Sect, was finally unable to control himself and personally made a move against Little Long¡¯er who had appeared suddenly. His attack was ferocious, he clearly wanted to quickly end this battle. Although his energy fluctuation was not so powerful like Nan Tiandu, it was also not too weak. As he brandished his heavy sword, whistling sounds resounded throughout Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. His cultivation was clearly above Peak Daoist Master Realm, was a powerful Half Sage Realm expert. Ye Chuan, however, didn¡¯t make a move, continued to stand in the dark while observing. His complexion, however, gradually became solemn. Beyond his expectation, he actually encountered another Half Sage Realm expert here. Speaking about small devils, no matter how many of them were here, they could be dealt with. As long as the transmission formation in the square was destroyed, they would be like a turtle in a jar with nowhere to run away. This Red Robed Old Ancestor, however, was different. If they were not careful, Demonic Dragon Hall would truly be broken and his entire party might be wiped out in his hands! ¡°Your Excellency, should we attack?¡± The old devil Hei Kui frowned. Red Robed Old Ancestor, the Sect Master of Puppet Demonic Sect, was powerful, his cultivation realm was beyond the expectation. ¡°How to attack? Rush up just like this? Even we four together might not be his opponent.¡± Ye Chuan shook his head. Rich experience and sharp insight on the battlefield had always been his greatest strength. Only an expert could deal with another expert, especially Half Sage Realm experts. Daoist Master Realm cultivators were far from being able to deal with them, the numbers alone couldn¡¯t make up the gap in the realm. In the battle of Heavenly Yao Sect, the reason why White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi was nearly driven crazy was partly because of Heaven Concealing Umbrella and partly because of Nan Tiandu, Diamond Ape King and others¡¯ help. Ye Chuan alone was far from being her opponent. Now, Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were not beside him, what should he do? Who could deal with this Red Robed Old Ancestor who had an amazing cultivation base? Ye Chuan frowned. He could use Heaven Concealing Umbrella at any time, but with his current cultivation, even after using Heaven Concealing Umbrella, he might be able to defend himself and retreat from Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, but it was almost impossible if he wanted to stop Red Robed Old Ancestor¡¯s group from attacking Demonic Dragon Hall¡¯s restriction. Besides, returning just like this was also impossible. The remains of Little Long¡¯er¡¯s mother was inside Demonic Dragon Hall, Little Long¡¯er wouldn¡¯t want these devils to humiliate his mother¡¯s remains. ¡°This red robed old man¡¯s skill is pretty good! But, I am sure that he has a deep relation with Puppet Sect. His Puppet Demonic Sect might be a split from Puppet Sect. If I was at my peak, then this subordinate alone could have made him prostrate on the ground and refine him into a battle puppet, unfortunately¡­, this old fellow, humph¡­¡± The old devil Hei Kui snorted, feeling a sense of loss. The styles of Red Robed Old Ancestor, the more he watched, the more familiar they were. He was sure that this Red Robed Old Ancestor was related to the ancient Puppet Sect. All the battle puppets around here were refined using the secret techniques of ancient Puppet Sect. In those years, if he was not trapped in Evil Dragon Abyss, then all these puppets would have been his and this Puppet Demonic Sect wouldn¡¯t have existed. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world. Red Robed Old Ancestor, this Sect Master of Puppet Demonic Sect, was imposing, he, this founder of ancient Puppet Sect, however, was neither human neither ghost, was just a soul attached to a puppet doll. ¡°Hei Kui, if these battle puppets are captured, do you have a method to quickly control them?¡± Ye Chuan asked, suddenly thinking of a way. ¡°No problem, this is my old business, Your Excellency, can it be that you want to¡­¡± The eyes of old devil Hei Kui shone, quickly guessing the plan of Ye Chuan and got excited. Ye Chuan nodded his head and whispered something in the ears of the old devil, then, went their separate ways. The battle in front of Demonic Dragon Hall was getting fiercer and fiercer. Little Long¡¯er and White Lady roared again and again, even if they were unable to defeat Red Robed Old Ancestor, they at least stalled him, making him unable to attack the restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall that was about to collapse. In this trip, Red Robed Old Ancestor had brought many devils and battle puppets, but the strongest three puppets were already killed. As for the remaining battle puppets and small devils, they were unable to destroy the restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall. The attacks of Red Robed Old Ancestor became more and more ferocious. He was somewhat anxious and worried. Regardless of everything, he wanted to end this fight quickly. The restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall was a hard bone, not only was it difficult to nibble it down, there furthermore was a point that caused a headache, as long as it didn¡¯t receive continuous attacks, it would gradually restore. Once the restriction was recovered completely, then they would have to start from the beginning again. The continuous attacks of seven days and seven nights would be in vain. The grains, crystal stones, pills and other supplies they had brought along was already scarce, when the time comes, how can they last for another seven days and seven nights? Red Robed Old Ancestor was also roaring in succession. Regardless of his safety, he just attacked without defending. The small devils who were attacking Demonic Dragon Hall had all stopped. They had the heart to step forward and help but their ability fell short of their wishes. They could only cheer from one side. Only those over a hundred consciousless puppets still continued to attack Demonic Dragon Hall. They neither had a sense of pain nor emotion and seemed to never recognize tiredness. They continuously attacked the light screen shrouding the Demonic Dragon Hall. At that moment, a strange puppet doll suddenly jumped out of the darkness and tossed a small stone at a battle puppet¡¯s back. The latter stopped attacking, turned around and ferociously rushed towards the direction of the puppet doll. The puppet doll also ran away while tossing pebbles. Slowly, this battle puppet was drawn to a dark place. The numerous devils were focusing on the battle between Red Robed Old Ancestor and Little Long¡¯er and White Lady. No one noticed this movement in one corner. There were many battle puppets nearby, but they ignored everything and continued to attack the restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall as they only execute their master¡¯s commands. Chapter 679: Scheme A muffled sound came from the darkness. The sound was not loud. It didn¡¯t attract the attention of anyone. The small devils were completely focused on nervously watching the battle between Red Robe Old Ancestor and Little Long¡¯er and White Lady. In a dark corner, Ye Chuan slowly took a deep breath, calming down his seething blood and qi. That battle puppet chasing after the old devil Hei Kui had fallen beside his legs. Although this puppet with a huge build was fallen on the ground, there was not much damage to it. Ye Chuan¡¯s plan was very simple. He sent out the wooden puppet doll where old devil Hei Kui¡¯s soul was attached to as a bait to lure the battle puppets to a hidden corner and knock out the battle puppet. With the current ability of Ye Chuan, it was not difficult to knock out a battle puppet. But, his aim was not to get rid of these battle puppets, rather had a much bigger scheme. ¡°Hahaha, this treasure is mine!¡± The old devil Hei Kui laughed heartily. When the battle puppet fell to the ground, he immediately rushed over and used his hands to poke the battle puppet¡¯s head, torso and limbs. In the beginning, this battle puppet was issuing beast-like noises, struggling to jump up and fight against the old devil Hei Kui with red eyes. Slowly, its red eyes calmed down and a hint of confusion flashed through its eyes, then obediently let the old devil Hei Kui make an arrangement. ¡°It¡¯s done, Your Excellency, here I go again!¡± The old devil was very excited. Although his cultivation was far from being restored to the peak and he was also only attached to a puppet doll now, remaining in this neither ghost nor human state, when it came to controlling a battle puppet, even looking throughout the Wilderness World, no one could compare to him, this founder of ancient Puppet Sect. Even Half Sage Realm Red Robed Old Ancestor, the Sect Master of Puppet Demonic Sect was inferior in this aspect. Ye Chuan carrying a heavy coffin stood still in the darkness as if he had also transformed into an emotionless battle puppet. The old devil Hei Kui, however, quickly walked away and not long after, lured another battle puppet over. The two people followed a set pattern and quickly added another helper. The old devil Hei Kui laughed and became even more excited after succeeding in succession. Afterward, he impatiently rushed out again, repeating the same process again and again. One time, the old devil Hei Kui even lured five battle puppets together. Ye Chuan was also in a rush. With the help of already controlled battle puppets, these few preys were subdued. Slowly, there were fewer and fewer battle puppets attacking Demonic Dragon Hall¡¯s restriction outside. ¡°Eh, why is that fellow not attacking the restriction and running towards that corner?¡± After roughly half an hour, a small devil finally noticed the unusualness when he unwittingly turned around his head and just happened to see a battle puppet arbitrarily stop attacking the restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall and run towards a dark corner. This small devil inwardly muttered to himself and walked over in confusion, the result, he was stupefied. In the dark, there were puppets standing in a row. Even if there were was not seventy, there were at least fifty puppets here. Most of the battle puppets that were ordered to attack Demonic Dragon Hall¡¯s restriction had come here and standing straight in the dark without any motion like zombie warriors that crawled out of the grave. These battle puppets without conscious had always been utterly obedient, why did they suddenly rushed over here and neatly arranged in a row like this? The small devil was absolutely terrified, instinctively sensing something was fishy. He immediately turned around, wanting to rush out and report. However, just after he turned around, a palm suddenly appeared in front of him and he was slapped to the ground. Immediately afterward, a puppet doll rushed over and with a few pokes, his entire body turned weak and couldn¡¯t move at all. He opened his mouth, wanting to shout, but his voice didn¡¯t come out. Gradually, he felt like his spirit was floating away. This was Puppet Technique! The complexion of this small devil became deathly pale as he trembled with fear. As a disciple of Demonic Puppet Sect, he naturally knew what was going on. Someone was using Puppet Technique to refine him into a lifeless, conciousless battle puppet while still alive. It seemed the attainment of this person in Puppet Technique was extremely high. He could easily use this technique without the help of formation and items. Refining the opponent into a battle puppet while still alive, the battle puppet would be of great quality, but being the one who was being refined into a battle puppet, that was horrible! The entire body of this small devil trembled. He would rather bite his tongue and commit suicide rather than becoming a puppet. Unfortunately, although his consciousness was clear, he couldn¡¯t move his body, even committing suicide by biting off his tongue was impossible. He was like a fish on the chopping board. ¡°Hahaha, sixty-three, the cultivation of this kid isn¡¯t up to much, but his build is big, he can be refined into a melee battle puppet.¡± The old devil Hei Kui laughed heartily. At this moment, he was even happier than capturing Liu Hong. In his current appearance, even if he truly captured a dainty and lovely girl, he could only look, he couldn¡¯t do anything. On the contrary, controlling a good battle puppet was much better. With an army of puppets, he might be able to summon wind and rain and display the style of the founder of ancient Puppet Sect. In addition, gathering worldly treasures to reconstruct his body would no longer be just a dream. ¡°Enough, Hei Kui, release him.¡± A faint young voice resounded, making this trembling small devil see a gleam of hope in the darkness. He used all his strength to open his eyes and discovered that the person who had just spoken now was a tall young man. His complexion was calm as if he wouldn¡¯t be shocked by anything in this world. His eyes, however, had a hint of sadness that was impossible to get rid of and he was carrying a heavy coffin on his shoulder. ¡°Your Excellency, it was so hard to capture him alive, why should we just release him like this?¡± The old devil Hei Kui stopped, but he was unwilling and was confused in his heart. Ye Chuan ordered to get rid of Liu Hong, he could understand that order, after all, they were old acquaintances. But, this captured small devil had no relation with Ye Chuan, why should he release him? ¡°Ai, Hei Kui, do you have such a small foresight?¡± Ye Chuan shook his head and faintly sighed, ¡°Being able to leave Evil Dragon Abyss, for you, it is a battle and also a chance to becoming a human again. Hei Kui, I am asking you, do you want a few puppets or do you want a sect?¡± ¡°Your Excellency, you mean¡­¡± The eyes of old devil Hei Kui shone as he suddenly saw the life. He then respectfully knelt at Ye Chuan and said, ¡°Thank you for giving directions, Your Excellency, this subordinate request Your Excellency to help this subordinate rebuild the Puppet Sect!¡± ¡°Well, it¡¯s good that you understand. There is no need to rebuild your Puppet Sect from the scratch, isn¡¯t Puppet Demonic Sect, one of the eight great demonic sects, the best choice? You have followed me for so many years, when you want to rebuild the sect, I naturally wouldn¡¯t look on with folded arms. Yao Beast Legion and even Cloud Mist Sect is your backing!¡± Ye Chuan faintly said as his eyes turned sharp. After learning that there was a relation between the old devil Hei Kui and Puppet Demonic Sect, his scheme was far more than simply controlling a few puppets. Refining this small devil into a battle puppet was too wasteful. Pulling him into their team and gradually infiltrate and control the entire Puppet Demonic Sect, that would be what a hero should do. Chapter 680: Fishing Without spending too much time, the small devil submitted to the old devil Hei Kui. Under the remainder of Ye Chuan, the old devil Hei Kui came to his senses and wanted to seize this opportunity to form his team. There was no better to start rebuilding Puppet Sect than to directly annex Puppet Demonic Sect. The small devil was naturally unwilling to join the so-called Puppet Sect, but, he also didn¡¯t want to be refined into a battle puppet while living, so he could only submit obediently. He had no choice. The old devil Hei Kui had plenty of methods and he didn¡¯t need to worry about the betrayal of this small devil. Another bait was lured beside Ye Chuan. The old devil Hei Kui was responsible to lure the battle puppets attacking Demonic Dragon Hall¡¯s restriction. The small devil who had just submitted was responsible to lure his companions who were watching the battle. Slowly, the number of battle puppets standing in the dark increased and the number of subordinates under the old devil Hei Kui also increased. The small devil lured many small devils. In front of Demonic Dragon Hall, the battle between Red Robed Old Ancestor and Little Long¡¯e and White Lady was getting fiercer and fiercer. Red Robed Old Ancestor was trying to end this battle quickly, thus he launched wave after wave of ferocious attacks. Little Long¡¯er and White Lady were suffering more and more injuries. White Lady was relatively a bit better. Although she had not yet broken into Half Sage Realm, she was infinitely close to that realm. She was above most of the Peak Daoist Master Realm experts and was relatively more powerful in both offense and defense; Little Long¡¯er, however, was miserable. He had suffered several wounds from where bones could be seen. In order to protect his mother¡¯s remains, he desperately attacked. Although the body of a demonic dragon was doughty, under the attack of Red Robed Old Ancestor, he was dripping with blood. On the surface, Red Robed Old Ancestor had an upper hand, but he was also feeling unwell in his heart. Being unable to quickly finish off Little Long¡¯er and White Lady made him more and more irritated, thus, his attack got increasingly fiercer. ¡°Eh, where are Old Han and others? How come all are missing?¡± Finally, someone noticed the unusualness and looking around, he discovered that almost half of them were missing without a trace. In addition, only one-third of the battle puppets that were attacking the restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall was left. This strange situation puzzled the remaining small devils, and at the same time, they instinctively felt danger. They immediately held their sword and become vigilant. ¡°Something seemed to have happened over there.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look, quick!¡± Someone with sharp eyes vaguely seemed to see several figures scrambling together in a corner. Afterward, leaving behind a few guards, the other small devils rushed over with dense killing intent. The result, like a stone sinking into the sea, after muffled screams, it became silent in the darkness. The remaining guards were frightened. They looked at the dark corner and again looked at Red Robed Old Ancestor who was fighting, wondering what they should do for a moment. ¡°Okay, Little Long¡¯er, White Lady, come back!¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s voice suddenly resounded in the minds of Little Long¡¯er and White Lady, then the two of them jointly counterattacked and retreated to the dark corner. Behind them, Red Robed Old Ancestor chased after them with dense killing intent. With a roar, when he was just about to use all-out attacks on Little Long¡¯er, a clapping sound suddenly resounded in his ears. ¡°Awesome, wonderful, this generation¡¯s demonic sect is truly powerful!¡± Ye Chuan clapped, coldly looking at Red Robed Old Ancestor. ¡°Who? You¡­, who are you?¡± Red Robed Old Ancestor stopped, feeling danger. After a while, his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness and he vaguely saw a youngster standing in front of him. He was tall, his cultivation base was unfathomable, and he was carrying a heavy sarcophagus on his shoulders. What was even more terrifying was, there was a large group of people around him. The sound of footsteps resounded as the people standing in the darkness spread out, surrounding Red Robed Old Ancestor. ¡°Old Hal, Li Qing, you all are¡­¡± Red Robed Old Ancestor looked around and his heart shook. The people around him unexpectedly were the disciples of his Puppet Demonic Sect and battle puppets. Fortunately, the disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect were timid and evasive, not daring to look directly at him. The numerous battle puppets, however, were emitting dense killing intent. They would rush out as long as they were ordered. Clearly, these killing machines had already fallen into the hands of this mysterious young man. He didn¡¯t know what means he used to control these battle puppets. ¡°Who exactly are you?¡± Red Robed Old Ancestor turned pale in fright and trembled involuntarily. He had run wild in Wilderness World for so many years, but he had never encountered such a strange matter. He had seen many experts and he had even faced White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi of Heavenly Yao Sect by himself, but he had never been terrified like this. When it comes to controlling puppets, looking throughout Wilderness World, who could compare with Puppet Demonic Sect? In such a short period of time, how did these puppets fell into this younger¡¯s control? What was going on here? Experienced and knowledgeable Red Robed Old Ancestor felt his throat dry. He wanted to calm down, but his body involuntarily trembled. This was too strange, an unstoppable fear spread throughout his mind. ¡°Ai, you have broken into this lordship¡¯s domain but you still don¡¯t know who this lordship is?¡± Ye Chuan said. His voice was so cold that the chill permeated the heart of Red Robed Old Ancestor. The old fellow was even more disturbed now. The owner of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm was a Demonic Dragon that came from the Outer World, where did this youngster carrying a coffin came from? How come he had a young demonic dragon under him? Could it be that he truly was the owner of this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm? Did he resurrect after such a long period of time? Cold sweat oozed from the forehead of Red Robed Old Ancestor. Although he had already broken through to Half Sage Realm, in front of a completely resurrected owner of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, no matter how powerful he was, he was not the opponent! Suddenly, the complexion of the old devil became gloomy and after a hesitation, he gritted his teeth and suddenly dashed towards Ye Chuan. Then, he brandished his scarlet sickle towards the neck of Ye Chuan and shouted, ¡°Where did this scamming brat come from? This lordship will chop you into pieces!¡± After coming to this point, Red Robed Old Ancestor was unwilling to give up easily. Although he was afraid in his heart, after thinking for a bit, he decided to attack ferociously. Above Ye Chuan, a gleaming umbrella suddenly appeared. Ding, the scarlet sickle just hit the umbrella, emitting a metal colliding sound. The umbrella was intact, but the scarlet sickle that had beheaded unknown numbers of experts broke. Ye Chuan was already prepared. He used Heaven Concealing Umbrella to block the all-out attack of Red Robed Old Ancestor. With this body-protecting treasure, it was difficult to kill Red Robed Old Ancestor, but it was not a problem to protect himself. ¡°You¡­, aren¡¯t you that youngster who forced White Haired Heavenly Empress to personally cut off her arm?¡± The complexion of Red Robed Old Ancestor greatly changed. Afterward, he turned around without hesitation and rushed to the transmission formation at the square. As soon as Ye Chuan used Heaven Concealing Umbrella, he recognized Ye Chuan¡¯s identity. For him, although the cultivation of Ye Chuan was not up to much and couldn¡¯t pose any real threat to him, the Heaven Concealing Umbrella in his hand, however, was too powerful. Even White Haired Heavenly Empress was helpless in front of that treasure. He didn¡¯t have confidence in being able to break through the defense of Heaven Concealing Umbrella. The sudden appearance of Ye Chuan, furthermore, the sudden betrayal of his sect¡¯s disciples and battle puppets, all these situations were strange, so he was in no mood to go on fighting. In addition, thinking about Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi behind Ye Chuan, he was even more terrified, thus, he turned around and left without any hesitation. Chapter 681: Demonic Dragon Realm ¡°Chase, don¡¯t let him run away!¡± Under the command of the old devil Hei Kui, the numerous newly subdued small devils and battle puppets rushed out. Red Robed Old Ancestor turned back to look and ran even faster and activating the transmission formation, he disappeared. ¡°Damn, he actually ran away. If that old fellow was also subdued, or refined into a battle puppet, then it would have been great!¡± The old devil Hei Kui had a look of pity as he sighed in succession. Originally, just being able to force Puppet Demonic Sect to retreat and protect the Demonic Dragon Hall was enough for them. Merely, after subduing numerous small devils and battle puppets, he had a greater desire. He was dying to subdue Red Robed Old Ancestor, this Sect Master of Puppet Demonic Sect. But, with his and Ye Chuan¡¯s current cultivation, it was honestly too difficult to achieve this. ¡°Yes, if we were able to wipe out the entire Puppet Demonic Sect in one fell swoop, then that would have been great!¡± Ye Chuan smiled and walked over. Upon hearing his words, the old devil Hei Kui¡¯s face turned red. He woke up to reality and understood that he was too excited. ¡°Your Excellency, what should we do now?¡± ¡°Rebuilding Puppet Sect requires a place, a large amount of manpower and various kinds of goods and materials. Now, you will sort out this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, this place will be your sect and you all will guard the tomb in passing. Later, I will help you rebuild the transmission formation at the square, making that Red Robed Old Ancestor unable to sneak in again. Moreover, I will make time to help you repair the restrictions of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm and send some disciples of Cloud Mist Sect to help you. You all should sort out this place first. Little Long¡¯er, follow me.¡± Ye Chuan instructed and after putting White Lady back into Cyan Lotus Space, he left with Little Long¡¯er. They directly passed through the restriction and entered Demonic Dragon Hall. The restriction of Demonic Dragon Hall was extraordinarily powerful. Even after Red Robed Old Ancestor attacked for seven days and seven nights, they were unable to break the restriction. Even for Ye Chuan, it would be hard to break through this restriction. However, with the presence of Little Long¡¯er, he didn¡¯t need to take such troubles, he could directly pass through. Those with the bloodline of Demonic Dragon Race could proceed without hindrance here. After cultivating Demonic Dragon Sutra and stepping into Half Dragon Realm, Ye Chuan also felt a kind of intimate feeling in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, however, there was still a huge gap compared to Little Long¡¯er. From the beginning to the end, Ye Chuan had been carrying the heavy coffin. Only after walking to the end of Demonic Dragon Hall, he placed this coffin down beside the coffin of Little Long¡¯er¡¯s mother. Afterward, he could sense invisible energy spreading rapidly, shrouding the entire coffin of Hong Zixia just like the coffin of Little Long¡¯er¡¯s mother. This energy was cold but not ice-cold, it seemed that it could stagnate the time, preserving the body for millions of years without rotting. Ye Chuan¡¯s heart was finally relieved. He had decided to place Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia¡¯s coffin here, not only because it was very safe inside Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, there furthermore was another reason, he hoped that her physical body would be preserved without rotting like Little Long¡¯er mother, Agusiteli. Last time when he explored Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, he had noticed that there was a rare dragon¡¯s vein at the end of Demonic Dragon Hall, and it was the energy of this dragon¡¯s vein that nourished the corpse of Little Long¡¯er mother. ¡°Big Brother Ye Chuan, can Big Sister Zixia be resurrected?¡± Little Long¡¯er transformed into his humanoid form and followed behind Ye Chuan. Watching Ye Chuan placing down the coffin of Hong Zixia, tears involuntarily flowed down his cheeks. ¡°Yes, not only Zixia, your mother can also be resurrected.¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head. Although Demonic Dragon Hall had a powerful restriction that prevented others from entry, he was still not assured, thus, after placing down the coffin, he arranged powerful restrictions around these two coffins using his essence blood. After returning from Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan was already exhausted. He became even weaker after laying down this powerful restriction. Now, the two coffins were shrouded by a layer of faint bloody radiance. In the midst of the blood, a hint of red light was swimming around like a fish. It was Dragon Slaying Flying Sword. Anyone who touched this restriction would be attacked by Dragon Slaying Flying Sword! In order to protect the physical body of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, Ye Chuan didn¡¯t hesitate to spend a large amount of vitality and efforts, in addition, he even left behind Dragon Slaying Flying Sword given to him by Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi in Demonic Dragon Hall. ¡°Big Brother Ye Chuan, my mother, she¡­, can she really be resurrected?¡± Little Long¡¯er was excited. ¡°Yes, after I breakthrough to Sage Realm, there will be a way. If nothing else works, then we can go to the Outer World and look for the place where your mother originally resided. There, we will find even more powerful experts, techniques and pills. Your mother built this Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm to preserve her corpse. Other than letting you see her, there must be another meaning.¡± Ye Chuan patted the shoulder of Little Long¡¯er and comforted him. Then, he turned around and left without looking back. He was worried that if he turned around, then he would be unwilling to leave behind Hong Zixia alone here. Behind him, Little Long¡¯er quickly followed and two people, one in the front and the other in the back, walked out of Demonic Dragon Hall. The moment these two walked out of Demonic Dragon Hall, the eyelids of Little Long¡¯er¡¯s mother, Agusiteli, suddenly moved. After the coffin was secured, Ye Chuan quickly got busy. He didn¡¯t immediately return to Cloud Mist Sect, rather personally helped the old devil Hei Kui rebuild the transmission formation at the square. Afterward, a team of elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect was transferred first, and after the square was expanded, a lot of materials were transferred over to start a huge construction project. Zhu Sijia, Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others also came over and got busy. Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm was deep underground but was not far away from Cloud Mist Sect. This was a natural harbor. Ye Chuan not only wanted to regard Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm as the site of Puppet Sect, but also wanted to build a large underground headquarter here. Once the world fell into chaos, Cloud Mist Sect would definitely not be able to maintain personal integrity. Although Dragon King Island maintained by White Dragon Sage and Red Line Lady was safe harbor far away from the mainland, it was honestly too far away and the distance was too inconvenient during the time of disaster. In addition, it was also inconvenient to launch counterattacks taking advantage of the momentarily void. On the contrary, the advantage of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm was very obvious. Various kinds of materials were continuously transferred to Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. After laying down the framework and basic strategy, Ye Chuan returned to Cloud Mist Sect and sitting on Heavenly Dragon Peak, he cultivated quietly. He left all the details to Nan Tiandu. In the battle of Heavenly Yao Sect, the powerful combat power of Nan Tiandu was completely displayed. In the future, with him in Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan can rest assured and go out to explore and train with Yao Beast Legion. When the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were busy, Ye Chuan entered seclusion cultivation beside Evil Dragon Abyss. At the beginning, he focused on cultivating Yao Refining Heaven Swallowing Secrets, slowly, perhaps, because he subconsciously longed for Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, or perhaps, because of the lingering dragon aura in Evil Dragon Abyss, he began to cultivate Demonic Dragon Sutra left behind by Little Long¡¯er¡¯s mother and he gradually began to emit majestic dragon aura. If someone had walked over and watched, then he could have seen a demonic dragon phantom behind Ye Chuan. Although it was just a phantom, the pressure emitted by that demonic dragon phantom was far more superior to Little Long¡¯er, moreover, it was getting stronger and stronger. After cultivating Demonic Dragon Sutra for so long, Ye Chuan was still not regarded as the real member of Demonic Dragon Clan, but the level of Demonic Dragon Realm was getting more and more consolidated, and there was a vague sign of transformation. Chapter 682: Chaos under Heaven The time passed quickly. Ye Chuan cut off all distracting thoughts. Sitting cross-legged on the top of Heavenly Dragon Peak, he immersed himself in the cultivation world. He could vaguely feel that his spirit and his body had fused into one, transforming into a real Demonic Dragon and soaring into the sky, traveling through every nook and corner of Wilderness World. After an unknown period of time, his body seemed to have risen higher and higher, finally, breaking through a time and space crack, he dived into an extremely vast Outer World. A wave of energy fluctuation he had never felt before appeared in his heart and his body trembled as if ushering a new transformation. A completely new feeling floated in Ye Chuan¡¯s heart. Although his body was still sitting cross-legged beside Evil Dragon Abyss, along with a breeze of the wind, his body gently swayed as if it wanted to follow the wind. Ye Chuan who had been stagnated in Peak Daoist Master Realm for a long time welcomed a new transformation. The phantom of the demonic dragon behind him became clearer and clearer. However, just when his energy fluctuation became more and more violent as a new breakthrough was approaching, he sensed something and stopped cultivating, slowly opening his eyes. Along with the rapid footsteps, Little Long¡¯er along with a group of people including Nan Tiandu, Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others had rushed over with grave complexion. ¡°Did something happen in Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm?¡± Ye Chuan asked as his heart sank. After returning from Heavenly Yao Sect, he had not rested for a single day. The death of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia was a heavy blow to him. He required a period of calm and cultivation. If it weren¡¯t for something major, Zhu Sijia and others wouldn¡¯t have disturbed him. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, the matters of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm is going well. According to your instruction, Hei Kui has already rebuild Puppet Sect with our help and secretly recruited a lot of disciples as the initial foundation of the sect.¡± Nan Tiandu stepped forward and reported to Ye Chuan. Then, after a pause, with hesitation, he said, ¡°Merely¡­¡± ¡°Tiandu, speak.¡± Ye Chuan¡¯s complexion was solemn. Nan Tiandu had always been fierce. Since even he was hesitating, the matter must be extraordinary. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, in the three months you have been in seclusion cultivation, the world is in chaos!¡± Nan Tiandu paused and added, ¡°Three months ago, the eight great demonic sects of Wilderness World joined forces to attack Heavenly Yao Sect. After repetitive bloody battles, the mountain gate of Heavenly Yao Sect fell, and White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi also suffered heavy losses. Heavenly Yao Sect which is known as the foremost sect is in imminent danger. What¡¯s more, when the breach was near at hand, even more sects and devils took action without delay to hit a person when he¡¯s down, wanting to divide the long inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect with eight great demonic sects.¡± ¡°Two months ago, Daqing Emperor charged into the Holy Land of Sea Demon Clan with a treasure and saved State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng. As for the whereabouts of Qing Tianhou, it is unknown. Afterward, Daqing Dynasty sent out troops to attack western regions and suffered a crushing defeat. The army of 800,000 elite soldiers was completely wiped out, not a single one returned alive! The nobles all over the world also came together, they claimed that Daqin King was a tyrant and dispatched troops to fight against the violent repression, Daqin Army suffered consecutive defeats and the army of nobles is pointing their swords directly at the capital.¡± ¡°A month ago, there was a large earthquake in the capital which caused countless casualties. In addition, in the northern region, western region and east sea, time and space cracks appeared everywhere. According to the rumor, even more experts of Outer World have arrived at Wilderness World. And Ancient Sword Sect with the inheritance of tens of thousands of years was wiped out in the space of one night, even fowls and dogs were not spared.¡± ¡°Half a month ago, White Dragon Sage sent a message saying he discovered unknown forces in the east sea, although he had temporarily exterminated them, mysterious experts would frequently appear around Dragon King Island.¡± Nan Tiandu¡¯s voice was overcast as he said a series of shocking news. In this short period of time, Ye Chuan cultivated in seclusion beside Evil Dragon Abyss, not paying any attention to the affairs outsides, but the outside had already turned upside down. In the last few years, Wilderness World had already shown the signs of chaos, but the two overlords had always been keeping them under. In the secular world, Daqin Dynasty was a well-deserved overlord. It had a vast territory and a very powerful military force, suppressing numerous barbarian races and deterring the nobles in the world; as for the cultivation world, Heavenly Yao Sect known as the peerless sect deterred all the sects under the heaven. For a long time now, there were many sects and experts who had strong dissatisfaction with Heavenly Yao Sect, but, because of the prestige of Heavenly Yao Sect and White Haired Heavenly Empress, they were forced to keep their resentment to themselves and didn¡¯t dare to challenge openly. However, the situation chance a while ago. Ye Chuan¡¯s battle in Heavenly Yao Sect greatly shook the prestige of Heavenly Yao Sect and White Haired Heavenly Empress, and the eight great demonic sects of Wilderness World who were already ready to make troubles seized this chance to suddenly launch a joint attack. Daqin Dynasty was also in an unstable condition in these last few years. There were continuous disasters, however, as long as the foundation of Daqin Dynasty was not damaged, the nobles under heaven also didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. Rashly dispatching troops to attack the western region, it was naturally a good thing if they won as Daqin Dynasty would become even more powerful, but if Daqin Dynasty lost, then the fate of the nation would also be lost. Chaos under heaven! Both the secular world and the cultivation world fell into chaos at the same time. There was already the sign of a great calamity and it finally arrived. Anyone could foresee that this chaos would only intensify and no force could stay away from this chaos. Beside Evil Dragon Abyss, it was very silent. Everyone looked at Ye Chuan, waiting for his instruction. Ye Chuan, however, remained silent without giving any instructions. Although he already foresaw the arrival of this great calamity and had been taking precautions, the chaos came too fast. ¡°Your Excellency, how about we turn out in full strength and attack Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± After a long time, Old Demon of Mount Yin came out boldly and broke the silence. His gaze was scorching hot, ready to make trouble. ¡°The inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect is very long, it has numerous treasures and merit laws. If we take advantage of this chaos and seize the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect, then we can further strengthen our strength. Moreover, we can get rid of Heavenly Yao Sect, this formidable enemy, at one fell swoop. It¡¯s killing two birds with one stone!¡± Since the world was in chaos, no one was safe, but Old Demon of Mount Yin was somewhat excited. He longed to make a breakthrough in this unprecedented chaos. With the unique merit law of Tree Yao Race, the fastest way to make a breakthrough to Half Sage Realm was massacring and devouring the opponents¡¯ blood, qi, essence and origin power. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, this suggestion of Rhodes is not bad.¡± Nan Tiandu also stepped forward and chimed in with Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s proposal, ¡°Under the attack of eight major demonic sects, the mountain gate of Heavenly Yao Sect has already fallen and White Haired Heavenly Empress is severely injured, this is the best opportunity to rout Heavenly Yao Sect. Seizing the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect would be of great benefit to our Cloud Mist Sect!¡± ¡°Tiandu, what did your Master said about this chaos?¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t immediately express his opinion. He neither approved nor rejected the proposal of Old Demon of Mount Yin and Nan Tiandu, rather asked about the opinion of Nan Tiandu¡¯s master. In this unprecedented chaos, the position of Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi was undoubtedly the most critical. Those forces that took advantage of the situation to reap the largest benefits might be wiped out in an instant. ¡°Since the chaos began, Master entered seclusion cultivation and no one has seen him since then.¡± Nan Tiandu replied. After learning the news of the chaos, he had first gone to his Master Meng Qi to ask for the latter¡¯s directions, unfortunately, he came back empty-handed, he was even unable to see him. As the Wilderness Guardian, he actually entered seclusion cultivation at this time, not caring about the chaos of Wilderness World, what was Meng Qi thinking? Did he want to leave the chaos of Wilderness World alone, or ¡­ Ye Chuan frowned, even he was unable to see through the intention of Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi. Chapter 683: Eternal City ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, in troubled times, meeting all changes by remaining unchanged will get us nowhere.¡± Upon seeing Ye Chuan was silent, Zhu Sijia also stepped forward, chiming in with Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s proposal, ¡°The overall strength of our Cloud Mist Sect is still inadequate, our inheritance is long but we don¡¯t have sufficient strength. Since Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s book collections and treasures made other sects green-eyed, then would our Cloud Mist Sect be spared? Once Heavenly Yao Sect is wiped out and its numerous book collection and treasures are divided up, the demonic sects that have already tasted the sweet flavor will turn their gaze towards us. So, rather than passively waiting for the befall of great calamity, it is better to take the initiative to attack and take a share of Heavenly Yao Sect together with those demonic sects. We have to show our strength to intimidate those malicious fellows!¡± ¡°Yes, Your Excellency, we should attack!¡± ¡°Annihilate Heavenly Yao Sect and seize the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect!¡± Everyone asked for a battle assignment in succession. The chaos had already befell, no one could escape from it. After nervousness and terror, people began to think about how to deal with it. Regardless of a dynasty or a sect, if most of the people in power were advanced in age, they were bound to be conservative and not dare to easily take risks. On the contrary, the forces with majority of young people were bound to be energetic and boldly took risks. In that year, after Ye Chuan suppressed the internal strife created by Third Elder Bai Yanhu, cleansed the trusted subordinates and lackeys of Third Elder, and took control over Cloud Mist Sect, Cloud Mist Sect was basically ruled by the young generation. Although the sect was far from recovering to its peak, it had begun to recover rapidly. ¡°Your Excellency, we should make a move!¡± The old devil Hei Kui who had attached his soul in a wooden puppet doll also asked for the battle. In this period of time, among the numerous followers around Ye Chuan, he was the one who was most excited and happy. The Ancient Puppet Sect had gradually taken shape under the support of everyone, formally taking Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm as its site. No one was happier than him, this founder of Puppet Sect, at this moment. Now, although there were not many disciples, he already had close to 500 battle puppets in his hands which was enough to form an elite unit. ¡°Hei Kui, did you investigate where Puppet Demonic Sect is located?¡± asked Ye Chuan. ¡°Yes, in the mountains ten thousand li away, Eternal City!¡± Hei Kui replied. With the help of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s spies, he already knew the circumstance of Puppet Demonic Sect. After thinking about why Ye Chuan had suddenly asked this, his heart suddenly moved as he said, ¡°Your Excellency, could it be¡­, could it be that you want to attack Eternal City where Puppet Demonic Sect is located?¡± ¡°What, are you afraid?¡± Ye Chuan paused and after looking at everyone, he faintly said, ¡°Heavenly Yao Sect is known as the peerless sect, there are countless experts and ancient restrictions inside the sect, in addition, there is also White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi, that peerless expert. Even if the mountain gate has fallen, wanting to destroy it in one fell swoop is not so easy. Besides, there are too many forces that covet Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s book collections and hidden treasures. No one knows how many people had rushed over to Heavenly Yao Sect, waiting to divide up Heavenly Yao Sect. Even if we go, it will be very difficult to take a share of the spoils. On the contrary, since the eight great demonic sects are using all their strength to attack Heavenly Yao Sect now, isn¡¯t this the best time to wipe them out?¡± When everyone was paying attention to Heavenly Yao Sect, Ye Chuan¡¯s attention, however, was in the entire Wilderness World. Either he wouldn¡¯t make a move or eat a large meat-pie! Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others looked at Ye Chuan and their eyes gradually became scorching hot. At this time, if they suddenly wiped out Puppet Demonic Sect, then that would definitely shock the world and the situation would become even more chaotic. In addition, every sect would find themselves in danger. Slight accident and Cloud Mist Sect would invite the joint attack of various sects. However, the harvest would also be amazing. Annexing Puppet Demonic Sect, not mentioning anything else, the Puppet Sect would definitely usher big transformation. ¡°Your Excellency, this subordinate is willing to take charge of this matter. This subordinate will not return until the entire Puppet Demonic Sect is wiped out!¡± The old devil Hei Kui knelt down and pleaded loudly. He was incomparably excited and his blood was seething. He would have the greatest benefit in attacking Puppet Demonic Sect. Once the entire Puppet Demonic Sect was annexed, he would be able to display the might of puppet founder. At that time, did he still need to worry about not being able to find the worldly treasure to rebuild his body? ¡°Well, Hei Kui, you are most familiar with puppet techniques and puppet mechanisms, you will take the lead. Rain Demon, you will follow Hei Kui and ensure his safety. Nan Tiandu, you will lead the main force. Rhodes, Little Long¡¯er, you two are to follow me! Speed is paramount in war, let¡¯s go, set about!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly stood up and loudly ordered. ¡°We obey your command!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin, Hei Kui and others bowed in succession, accepting the orders. Afterward, horn sounds resounded throughout Cloud Mist Sect and groups after groups of elite disciples rushed out stepping on their flying sword from their respective training secret chambers and neatly lined up under the command of Zhu Sijia and others. Under the command of Ye Chuan, the entire Cloud Mist Sect turned out in full strength. At this critical moment, they let go of their difference and put their all into the fight, otherwise, just sending a part of forces would only waste their time in a to-and-fro tussle. If they waste too much time, then that would be troublesome. After sending out all their forces, they had to quickly end this fight as Cloud Mist Sect in the rear was empty, which could be easily attacked by others. A large number of crystal stones were taken out from the storehouse and poured into the transmission formation of Cloud Mist Sect. Then, someone quickly stepped forward to check the coordinates of Puppet Demonic Sect. In these last few years, Ye Chuan had campaigned all around, he hadn¡¯t taken part in the general affairs of the sect, but under his command, Cloud Mist Sect had been actively preparing for the war and taking precautions. They stored a lot of all kinds of goods and materials and also had secretly sent spies to grasp the situation of various sects under heaven. Although Ye Chuan didn¡¯t know much about Puppet Demonic Sect, Zhu Sijia and others, however, weren¡¯t unfamiliar to this sect, they already knew the position of Puppet Demonic Sect. After a dazzling cyan light, Ye Chuan and others sitting in the transmission formation disappeared. They went to Puppet Demonic Sect in advance. Behind, even more disciples of Cloud Mist Sect surged in who neatly arranged themselves into a formation. What was even more eye-catching was those battle puppets under the old devil Hei Kui¡¯s command. Each and every one was expressionless and holding a sharp sword while emitting thick killing intent. After they felt as if the sky and earth were spinning, Ye Chuan¡¯s party arrived at a snow-capped mountain. In the distance, there was a long river of melted snow and ice winding in the midst of lofty ridges and towering mountains, and the roars of beasts could be heard everywhere. The mountain was white, but the river water was black, mixed with a lot of black sand. The river looked just like a black dragon. And beside the black dragon river, there was a huge towering castle. Above the snow-capped mountain, it was severely cold. This castle, however, was surrounded by tall chimneys emitting steam on all sides. At the Black Dragon River¡¯s bank, there were a dozen or so huge windmills and a huge wooden wheel, which automatically drew river water inside the castle with the help of big and small gear wheels that rotated with the help of flowing water¡¯s strength. Around the castle, no guards could be seen, however, battle puppets were moving back and forth. There were also some that stood motionless like a mountain, quietly guarding the gate. There were some that were pulling heavy crystal stones, woods and other materials from far away. This castle was huge, but it didn¡¯t have any breath of life, there were just tireless machines and puppets. Eternal City! Relying on the ancient transmission formation of Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan¡¯ party quickly arrived at the supreme headquarter of Puppet Demonic Sect. Chapter 684: Besiege a City On the snow-covered mountain path, seven puppets walked over. These were seven big fellows. Each one was almost five meters tall, but their steps were stiff and heavy. All of them were carrying a huge log on their shoulders. It seemed these puppets were responsible for doing physical labor, they were not real battle puppets. After these seven puppets went into a mountain path, the wind suddenly blew over. A youngster, holding an old umbrella, suddenly floated in the sky as if a weightless leaf from who knows where. The seven puppets looked up. They subconsciously stopped their steps, sensing the danger. Some even reached towards the warning horn hanging on their waist. At that time, the umbrella in the hand of that floating youngster suddenly spun and he suddenly accelerated in the sky. Bang, the sharp tip of the umbrella pierced through the head of a puppet like a dagger. At the same time, two shadows rushed out from the mountain path. One of them grinned and a large number of vines bound these puppets¡¯ limbs, and the other one transformed into a dragon and slammed onto them, directly smashing the puppets¡¯ head. Ye Chuan took the initiative to make a move, then Little Long¡¯er and Old Demon of Mount Yin ambushed, killing everyone. With the cultivation and techniques of these three, even elite killing battle puppets weren¡¯t powerful enough to kill them, no need to mention these physical labor puppets. ¡°Twenty third, let¡¯s go!¡± After getting rid of these seven physical labor puppets, Ye Chuan left along with Little Long¡¯er and Old Demon of Mount Yin. Facing Eternal City that claimed to have never fallen, he didn¡¯t immediately break in, rather wiped out the patrolling guards, scouts and labors in the periphery of the Eternal City. He wanted to cut off Eternal City¡¯s eyes and ears to isolate it. At that time, once the army attacks, Eternal City would become a turtle in a jar. There were various kinds of puppets scattered everywhere. Among them, there were elite patrolling battle puppets and also physical labor puppets that tirelessly worked day and night. Especially the latter, although they had no fighting power, they were indispensable to this huge Eternal City. They continuously brought back all kinds of resources. Under the attacks of Ye Chuan¡¯s party, the number of the puppets wandering outside the castle became fewer and fewer. Gradually, fewer and fewer entered and exited the city gate. More and more puppets suffered the attacks of Ye Chuan¡¯s trio. Some were broken apart and some were intact, just were bound by the vines or various kinds of restrictions and formations. Ye Chuan¡¯s current purpose was just to isolate Eternal City. This battle¡¯s objective was not massacring Eternal City, rather annexing Eternal City and Demonic Puppet Sect. In the future, one more puppet would be the additional power in Puppet Sect of the old devil Hei Kui. A cold wind whistled, the sky gradually darkened and snowflakes floated down from the sky. In a majestic palace, Deacon Elder Han Xilai walked back and forth, anxiously looking repeatedly towards the transmission formation outside the palace. After Sect Master Red Robed Old Ancestor took the elites of Puppet Demonic Sect to attack Heavenly Yao Sect, he who was responsible to guard the rear always felt restless. Originally, he was opposed to attacking Heavenly Yao Sect, not because he was unwilling to become the enemy of Heavenly Yao Sect, rather he was worried that the loss would be too big. Since the world had fallen into chaos, all merit laws and treasures were secondary, the most important matter was to preserve their current strength. Only with powerful strength, they could survive this calamity, otherwise, they might be wiped out in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, Red Robed Old Ancestor didn¡¯t listen to his advice. After returning from Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, he hastily led the elites of the sect to attack Heavenly Yao Sect. In this period of time, Han Xilai had been worried. But today, his heart was in jitters without any reason. After the noon, fewer and fewer puppets returned to the Eternal City. Although the weather was cold and many paths were already blocked by the heavy snowfall which might have obstructed the task many puppets, Han Xilai was still vigilant in his heart. He sent elite scouts to survey situation in succession. But, none of those scouts also returned. After they exited the city gate, there was no news from them, which made Han Xilai even more nervous. He immediately ordered to close the castle gate and strengthened the defense. In addition, he sent a letter to Red Robed Old Ancestor asking for help. Relying on his sharp sense, Hai Xilai instinctively sensed the danger. This danger made him more and more restless. In the castle, all the disciples and battle puppets left behind rushed over to the city wall and guarded vigilantly. He even halted numerous physical labor puppets from their task and temporarily transformed them into battle puppet ready for battle. Even after this, Han Xilai was still unable to be at ease. He frequently looked at the transmission formation outside the palace and kept praying that Red Robed Old Ancestor would return quickly. At night, neither disciples nor battle puppets walked out of Eternal City. This huge castle turned into a place cut off from the rest of the world. The only way to communicate with the outside world was the transmission formation in the castle. Han Xilai had waited beside this transmission formation for the most part of a day, but there was no reinforcement, not even a message as if Red Robed Old Ancestor in the distant Heavenly Yao Sect didn¡¯t receive his urgent message. Or perhaps, the battle of Heavenly Yao Sect was too intense that he basically was unable to getaway. Meanwhile, a vague shadow appeared outside the city. And at the distant mountain range, cyan light was flashing frequently and a powerful aura was coming from that mountain range. Someone was forcibly teleporting to the vicinity of Eternal City. Sure enough, someone fixed their eyes on empty Eternal City! Who is it? Who is so fierce? Who is so daring to eye my Puppet Demonic Sect? Han Xilai was very nervous. He understood that the fierce fight was already unavoidable. Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the gathered uninvited guests initiated a fierce attack. With the help of the hazy moonlight, Hal Xilai saw three figures rushing in the front. With their tyrannical strength, they contend against the restriction of Eternal City and tore open the defense line formed by the disciples and battle puppets. A dozen or so elite battle puppets rushed up, but they actually were unable to withstand even a single attack of these three people. The energy fluctuation of these three people surpassed all the experts inside the castle. Three Half Sage Realm experts? Han Xilai¡¯s heart trembled, but in the next moment, he saw an even more terrifying scene. Several hundred tall and big battle puppets brandishing swords rushed over. All of them had threatening momentum and all wore black armor. These battle puppets clearly were fiercer than the battle puppets in Enteral City. When the two armies come into contact, the battle puppets of Puppet Demonic Sect retreated in defeat. ¡°What is going on? Where did these battle puppets come from?¡± ¡°This¡­, aren¡¯t these high-leveled puppets recently taken away to Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm by the Sect Master?¡± Upon seeing the ferocious black armored battle puppets, the disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect turned pale with fright and retreated again and again in defeat. Chapter 685: Puppet Battle God Late at night, there was a heavy snowfall along with a fierce wind. In the past, Eternal City would be especially quiet in these kinds of days. This place was far away from the secular world. Even the hunters who occasionally took the wrong path also couldn¡¯t approach this place as when they reached within the radius of ten meters, they would be killed by either Puppet Demonic Sect¡¯s disciples or the patrolling battle puppets. Tonight, however, Eternal City was in flames, welcoming a fierce and bloody battle. These days, Han Xilai had been restless, but at the critical moment, he kept clam. He concentrated all military strength on the city wall, tenaciously fighting against Ye Chuan¡¯s puppet army. The Puppet Legion of the old devil Hei Kui was just established. Although it had taken shape, its combat power was still far insufficient, it lacked truly powerful battle puppets, in addition, the quantity was also insufficient. However, under the help of Nan Tiandu, Diamond Ape King and Plague Archfiend, these three Half Sage Realm experts, these 500 black armored battle puppets made the defending troops suffer a bitter loss. If it were not for the defense of ancient restrictions, with just remaining disciples and puppets, Eternal City would have already fallen. ¡°Kill, don¡¯t use oil, use stone, use boulders to crush them to death!¡± ¡°Release the arrows, aim at their forehead and shoot the arrows¡­¡± Han Xilai loudly shouted with a twisted face. He personally rushed to the city wall with a sword in his hand and cut a black armored battle puppet into two halves. Then, looking all around, his heart sunk further. The enemy troops had split into two groups. One group was violently attacking the city wall and the other group was forcibly charging towards the city gate of Eternal City. Relying on the powerful ancient restriction and using over 300 elite battle puppets, they were barely able to stall Nan Tiandu, Diamond Ape King and Plague Archfiend, these three Half Sage Realm experts. As for the remaining troops, although they were able to barely block those 500 black armored battle puppets, they were unable to thoroughly repel the enemy. With the illumination of the flame on the city wall, he could see a crowd standing below the city wall. The enemy troops had yet to attack with all their strength. They had just dispatched a part of their military force to initiate a probing attack, nothing more. ¡°Quick, request reinforcement from Sect Master, if he didn¡¯t return to help, then Eternal City will fall!¡± Han Xilai shouted loudly and grabbing his trusted subordinate who was fighting with the enemy troops, he ferociously ordered. ¡°Yes!¡± The trusted subordinate obeyed the order and hastily stepping into the transmission array, he urgently went to Heavenly Yao Sect to ask for reinforcement. Han Xilai who was guarding Puppet Demonic Sect was very restless like an ant on a hot pan. Ye Chuan who was standing in front of a majestic castle, however, was calm and indifferent, watching the changes in the battlefield. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, it¡¯s almost time, give us the orders!¡± Zhu Sijia stepped forward and loudly asked for a battle assignment. After Nan Tiandu personally entered the battle, she became the commander of Cloud Mist Sect¡¯s disciples. She wore a fiery red battle armor and held a cyan-colored sword, looking heroic. In this operation, Cloud Mist Sect had practically turned out in full strength. Almost all younger generation disciples had come out. They had already arranged a huge sword formation in front of Eternal City. They were just waiting for Ye Chuan¡¯s order. As long as Ye Chuan ordered, they would immediately rush out stepping on a flying sword. Beside this sword formation, there was a group of uncommon figures which included a large group of Evil Eyed Cow Demons, Human Faced Snakes, golden eagles and other yao beasts. Even Super Electric Eel and White Lady were also among this group. Their formation was not as neat as those disciples of Cloud Mist Sect, but they looked even more terrifying. Each and every one was ferocious. In order to capture Eternal City in one fell swoop, Ye Chuan summoned all yao beasts from Cyan Lotus Space, forming a separate army. This army was given to Old Demon of Mount Yin to command. Basically, in this operation, the entire army was divided into three groups. One group was Puppet Legion that attacked head-on under the command of the old devil Hei Kui; the second group was the elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect under the leadership of Zhu Sijia; the final group was this Yao Beast Legion under the leadership of Old Demon of Mount Yin. Once these three troops entered the battle, Eternal City was bound to fall. ¡°Wait a bit more, Rhodes, you first, go!¡± Ye Chuan faintly commanded, closely watching the changes in the battlefield. ¡°Kakaka, Your Excellency, this subordinate obeys!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin who was already impatient by waiting laughed and rushed out, leading Yao Beast Legion, instantly increasing the pressure on the defending troops of Eternal City. Although Evil Eyed Cow Demons, golden eagles and other yao beasts weren¡¯t high-level yao beasts, in a large group, their lethality was amazing. Especially Evil Eyed Cow Demons with a long-ranged attack, many disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect were caught unprepared and fell. Subsequently, along with the arrival of Super Electric Eel and White Lady, the defending troops were forced to retreat again and again. Even though Han Xilan personally entered the battle, it was useless. With a loud bang, the city gate was knocked down by Nan Tiandu and many puppets and yao beasts poured in like a tide. ¡°Jiajia, now it¡¯s your turn, go. Remember, whoever it is, as long as they drop their weapon and surrender, don¡¯t kill them. We want the inheritance of Puppet Demonic Sect, not a massacre.¡± Ye Chuan ordered. Over three thousand disciples of Cloud Mist Sect flew out stepping on a flying sword, completely overwhelming those still stubborn defending troops. Han Xilai¡¯s eyes were red and he still wanted to resist, but a few guards dragged him away and escaped into the heavily guarded palace. In the huge and magnificent Eternity City, the sound of battles redounded along with screaming sounds. Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s laughter also resounded continuously. This fellow who had been suppressing himself since he returned from Heavenly Yao Sect could finally open his killing prohibition without restraint. In the midst of Old Demon of Mount Yin¡¯s laughter, the laughter of the old devil Hei Kui could also be heard. Compared to Rhodes, he was even more excited. After breaking into Eternal City, he was like a stranded fish put back into the water. He quickly subdued and controlled all battle puppets of Eternal City. And his Puppet Legion not only didn¡¯t weaken, instead grew stronger and stronger along with the battle. The overall situation was already set!¡± Ye Chuan didn¡¯t make a move. He just stood outside the city gate and observed carefully. Only Little Long¡¯er alone was standing beside him. Everyone else had already entered Eternal City. Speed was paramount in war, the defense of Eternal City was weak, in addition, they seized the opportunity and suddenly launched an all-out surprise attack, even like this, if they failed, then all the preparations of the past many years were wasted! ¡°Big Brother Ye Chuan, let¡¯s go, how about we also go in and take a look?¡± Little Long¡¯er said. Upon seeing Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were running amuck, he was also itching to have a go. Ye Chuan said nothing, he just looked at Eternal City shrouded under a dim light of night. At that time, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly transmitted outwards from the depths of the castle and an ear-deafening roar along with a scream resounded. ¡°Puppet Battle God, that is the ancient Puppet Battle God, step aside, everyone, get out of the way, quick!¡± The old devil Hei Kui cried out in alarm. His voice was especially ear-piercing in the midst of the night. Puppet Battle God? Ye Chuan became solemn and rushed up like a cheetah towards the direction from where the voice of Hei Kui had come. Behind, Little Long¡¯er transformed into a dragon and followed him. The two people instantly disappeared into Eternal City. Chapter 686: Puppet Old Ancestor In the majestic Puppet Demonic Hall, the crowd besieged a tall battle puppet. This battle puppet was more than seven meters tall with a huge body that gave others pressure. Its single punch would give rise to a strong wind to over 100 meters. Not to mention its strength was amazing, its body was also unexpectedly forged with iron. It was a true iron giant. An ordinary sword couldn¡¯t even leave a scratch on it, instead the sword would break into two. Several disciples of Cloud Mist Sect jointly attacked it, but they held no advantage. ¡°Step aside, let me go!¡± Nan Tiandu roared and rushed forward. Bang, a fist collided against the iron giant. The iron giant remained motionless, Nan Tiandu who obtained astonishing strength after fusing with Evil Dragon below Evil Dragon Abyss, however, retreated three steps in succession. In addition, he felt tingling pain from his fist. With his doughty body and Half Sage Realm cultivation base, not to mention he didn¡¯t hold any advantage, it actually seemed like he was inferior! ¡°What a good fellow! Here I come again!¡± Nan Tiandu raised his eyebrows and rushed forward again. He then used bare fist to attack this iron giant again. He didn¡¯t use his Azure Dragon Moon Blade, this great killing weapon, rather used the bare hand to fight against this iron giant. Under the leadership of Old Demon of Mount Yin and Zhu Sijia, Yao Beast Legion and the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect chased after the remnants of Puppet Demonic Sect. The overall situation was already set. Nan Tiandu was also at ease, he didn¡¯t believe that he wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat even a puppet. Muffled collision sounds resounded one after another. Under the gaze of everyone, Nan Tiandu and the iron giant ferocious exchanged blows. Those muffled sounds coming from their collision made the heart of people twitch. Both of them had amazing strength, soon, the skin of Nan Tiandu tore open, the body of the iron giant was also filled with fist-sized potholes. Even after such damage, this iron giant unexpectedly didn¡¯t fall. ¡°This is a Puppet Battle God, its vital part is the back of its head. Attacking any other places is useless. Use powerful punches to wreak its head! The person controlling this Puppet Battle God should be nearby, within 100 meters, search him!¡± The old devil Hei Kui shouted loudly. When it came to the attainment of refining puppets, if he claimed to be second, then no one in the Wilderness World would dare to claim first. The disciples of Cloud Mist Sect gathered around him spread out in succession to search. On the battlefield, Nan Tiandu raised his head high and roared, then transforming into a huge dragon, he rushed towards the iron giant. Dong, this time, the iron giant was knocked flying to the ground. In the next moment, the iron giant jumped up from the ground and suddenly punched which sent Nan Tiandu who had transformed into a dragon flying. Afterward, an iron puppet and a dragon exchanged ferocious blows. Slowly, a huge Soaring Dragon Mouse phantom appeared behind Nan Tiandu as he began to use all his strength, forcibly suppressing this powerful and ferocious iron giant. However, it was just a suppression, he was powerless to thoroughly defeat it. On several occasions, he was about to land a good blow on the back of this iron giant¡¯s head, but it was either blocked or dodged. In the end, Diamond Ape King and Plague Archfiend also entered the battle. With three Half Sage Realm experts attacking jointly, this iron giant fell. And at the same time, Deacon Elder Han Xilai of Puppet Demonic Sect stumbled out of the darkness and vomited a large mouthful of blood. Then, under the support of several trusted subordinates, he gritted his teeth and fought, trying to break out of the encirclement. But, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect caught him alive and was brought to the front of Ye Chuan. ¡°Who are you? What is your position in Puppet Demonic Sect?¡± Ye Chuan asked, sizing up this short and very thin Han Xilai. On the surface, Han Xilai looked inconspicuous and his energy fluctuation was also not up to much, was just Peak Daoist Master Realm, however, he actually was able to control such a powerful iron giant, this was honestly too surprising. This iron giant was able to withstand the attacks of Nan Tiandu. It was extraordinarily powerful and impervious to sword or spear, no wonder it was called Puppet Battle God. If they had ten or even hundred such iron giants, then wouldn¡¯t they be able to crush the entire Wilderness World? Looking at the iron giant subdued by Nan Tiandu and other Half Sage Realm experts, Ye Chuan was fascinated. ¡°Pei, who am I? I¡¯m your enemy, I want to eat your flesh and drink your blood, hahaha¡­¡± Han Xilai roared with laughter. Even though he was already caught alive, he still glared ferociously at Ye Chuan and gritting his teeth, he said, ¡°Boy, you are screwed, our Puppet Demonic Sect has over hundred such Puppet Battle Gods, wait until our Sect Master Red Robed Old Ancestor returns, then you all will die, all of you will die, hahaha¡­¡± Eternal City which was praised to be impregnable fell quickly just like this under the attack of Ye Chuan. Han Xilai was surprised and also angry and he hated Ye Chuan to the bones. After being captured alive, he was fully aware that he would die for sure, thus, he directly gave up. When he had just finished speaking, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect around raised their swords. The reaction of Little Long¡¯er was even more ferocious, he transformed into a demonic dragon and wanted to crush his head with his claw. ¡°Stop!¡± Ye Chuan stopped Little Long¡¯er and looked at Han Xilai. He was not angry rather said with admiration, ¡°Good, good, you have a character, I like it. Tell me, where are the other Puppet Battle Gods? Hand them all over. After you hand them over, I can spare your life, otherwise, I will wipe out your Puppet Demonic Sect here today.¡± ¡°You dare?¡± Han Xilai was alarmed and also furious, and looking at the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect surrounding the disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect, he was in a state of alarm. But, his mouth continued to be stubborn, ¡°You dare to slaughter our Eternal City, Our Sect Master will wipe out your entire sect! As for the other Puppet Battle Gods, don¡¯t even imagine, my Puppet Demonic Sect¡¯s puppet techniques are unparalleled in the world, even if you find other Puppet Battle Gods, you will never be able to control them!¡± ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Ye Chuan looked at Han Xilai and faintly said, ¡°Hei Kui, the Puppet Demonic Sect has already fallen, the rest depends on you. As the Puppet Old Ancestor, if you don¡¯t even have a way to control this Puppet Battle God, then you cannot finish the meat on your mouth.¡± ¡°Hahaha, Your Excellency, rest assure and watch me!¡± The old devil Hei Kui roared with laughter, jumped out of the crowd and went towards the iron giant. Afterward, he used a technique and patted the Puppet Battle God. In the end, he suddenly roared and slammed his palm on the giant. The latter shook and red light glimmered around his body as many runes on its body. Then, the iron giant got up and respectfully knelt in front of the old devil Hei Kui, completely ignored Han Xilai at one side. Relying on extensive knowledge of puppet techniques, the old devil Hei Kui quickly controlled incomparably powerful Puppet Battle God, adding a real battle puppet in his Puppet Legion. Upon seeing this scene, the eyes of onlooking disciples of Cloud Mist Sect shone. Han Xiali, however, was shocked and became deathly pale. He then cried out in fear, ¡°Impossible, Ancient Puppet Technique, this¡­ how is this possible?¡± Looking at the Puppet Battle God kneeling in front of the old devil Hei Kui, Han Xilai was in disbelief and his heart sunk further. ¡°Hahaha, it¡¯s mime, the puppets in this entire castle is mine, even you are also mine, either submit and pledge allegiance or wait to become a new puppet, hahaha¡­¡± The old devil Hei Kui laughed and he began to subdue the captured puppets in public. After subduing all puppets of the castle, he turned towards the captured disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect. They had two choices, either pledge loyalty on the spot or be refined into battle puppet while still alive. Han Xilai who originally was still stubbornly refusing to admit defeat gradually trembled and shivered. Chapter 687: Perfect Surprise Attack The efficiency of people was very high. The captives were quickly escorted away. The old devil Hei Kui was not careless. In the presence of all, these captives pledged loyalty, one after another. Regardless of the puppets or the disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect, not a single one could withstand his means. In the end, in such a big Eternal City, only one person of Puppet Demonic Sect was left, Elder Han Xilai. ¡°Hahaha, old guy, it¡¯s your turn now, speak, are you doing to submit and pledge allegiance to my Puppet Sect or become a puppet?¡± The old devil Hei Kui laughed as his gaze was fixed on Han Xilai. He then sized him up and added, ¡°Tsk tsk, not bad, your physical body doesn¡¯t look particularly good, your cultivation, however, is good. Although it is impossible to refine a Puppet Battle God from you, there is no problem to refine an elite battle puppet, even if you are refined into the most useless puppet, it can still be used as a guard of this Eternal City, hahaha¡­¡± The old devil Hei Kui laughed, seizing up Han Xilai¡¯s body as if a blacksmith sizing up the best iron. His gaze greatly terrified Han Xilai and he trembled even more violently. ¡°Our Puppet Demonic Sect¡¯s Sect Master Red Robed Old Ancestor is returning soon, you¡­¡± Although Han Xilai was terrified in his heart, his mouth was still stubborn. He feared being refined into a puppet, but he also didn¡¯t want to go and seek refuge with Ye Chuan like other ordinary disciples. ¡°Heh heh, that old guy will not return. Even if he quickly returns from Heavenly Yao Sect, that will be all we could wish for. Last time, he ran away from Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm, this time, we will see where he can run away, hahaha!¡± Before Han Xilai finished speaking, Hei Kui ferociously interrupted him. ¡°You all¡­, are you all the people of Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi?¡± Han Xilai cried out in fear and his face was filled with fear, thinking about a matter. Some time ago, Red Robed Old Ancestor had gloomily run back from Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Not only he didn¡¯t obtain the corpse of Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm¡¯s owner, the entire army was also wiped out, only he alone escaped. Han Xilai didn¡¯t dare to ask the specific about this matter, but he heard Red Robed Old Ancestor saying this was related to Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi. It turned out to be Wilderness Guardian¡¯s people, no wonder, they are so powerful!¡± Since the chaos has fallen, could it be that aloof and refined Wilderness Guardian who was above all forces of Wilderness World also couldn¡¯t help secretly making a move to turn the tide? Han Xilai¡¯s complexion changed rapidly. His heart was disturbed and also wavered. Betraying Puppet Demonic Sect and sought refuge with Ye Chuan of unknown origins, he was very unwilling, but if Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi was Ye Chuan¡¯s backer, then that was a different matter! Moreover, the ancient puppet technique displayed by the old devil Hei Kui had also shocked him. ¡°Your Puppet Demonic Sect, in fact, is just a branch of ancient Puppet Sect. My this subordinate looks strange, but in fact, is just a soul attached to this wooden doll. His true identity is the Sect Master of Puppet Sect. In ancient times, he was known as Puppet Old Ancestor. Strictly speaking, joining my Puppet Sect is also not betraying your Puppet Demonic Sect, rather recognizing your ancestor and returning to the sect, this is an extremely big joyous occasion.¡± Ye Chuan said. Upon seeing Han Xilai¡¯s heart had begun to sake, he stroke while the iron was hot. He liked to recruit capable people. Han Xilai didn¡¯t utter a word and remained silent. He didn¡¯t stubbornly refuse to admit defeat and also didn¡¯t curse, but he also didn¡¯t surrender because he still had some misgivings in his heart. He had also heard a little about the ancient Puppet Sect and he also knew something about the origin of his Puppet Demonic Sect. Naturally, joining Puppet Sect would be like recognizing the ancestors and returning to their sect. However, he naturally was somewhat reluctant to just surrender like this, merely, Ye Chuan gave him a flight of steps to step down. ¡°You are called Han Xilai, the elder of Puppet Demonic Sect?¡± asked Ye Chuan. It was not difficult to know the identity of Han Xilai from the surrendered disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect. ¡°Yes.¡± Han Xilai nodded his head. This time, he didn¡¯t remain silent. ¡°Well, that¡¯s a good name, a gentleman that came from the west (T/N: meaning of his name).¡± Ye Chuan was satisfied with Han Xilai¡¯s response. He knew that it was likely to turn out well. He then added, ¡°Now, the world is in chaos, no one and no sect can survive on their own, my Puppet Sect also need talented people. When you join my Puppet Sect, you will still be the elder and wield the authority of the sect. In addition, you will have a chance to cultivate real puppet techniques. On the contrary, if you are still stubborn and blind, then we can only refine you into a battle puppet. Do you want to die or live? Your choice.¡± After throwing the bait, Ye Chuan faintly clarified the bad end of being stubborn and gave Han Xilai a push. The expression of Han Xilai changed rapidly and he trembled even more violently. After hesitating for a while, he sighed deeply and knelt down. As matters stood, he also could only accept his fate. ¡°Heh heh, old man, you are sensible, if it weren¡¯t for His Excellency giving you a way to survive, my Puppet Sect wouldn¡¯t have taken you as an elder, I would have directly refined you into a battle puppet, it¡¯s a pity, it¡¯s a pity¡­¡± The old devil Hei Kui smirked and shook his head looking at Han Xilai. ¡°Paying respect to Sect Master!¡± Han Xilai was frightened. Looking at the wooden doll where the old devil Hei Kui was attached, he sweated profusely. He knew that he had to be extra careful in the future. In the future, if he offended Ye Chuan, then he would die at the most. But, if he offended this old devil Hei Kui, he would be refined into a battle puppet at any time. This long distance surprise attack succeeded. The surrender of Han Xilai made this operation even more perfect. The long inheritance of Puppet Demonic Sect, ordinary disciples didn¡¯t know many secrets, only Han Xilai, this kind of old bones, knew. With his help, they found many treasures in the castle. There were piles of crystal stones, a large amount of weapons and armors. In addition, deep underground, there was another huge underground palace. There were many high grade battle puppets with a long history here. The combat power of these high grade battle puppets was high, but their energy was already exhausted and couldn¡¯t be used. Some of them were damaged and couldn¡¯t be repaired, thus, they could only be stored and sealed in this underground palace. However, although Puppet Demonic Sect could use or repair these high grade battle puppets even after exhausting their whole back of tricks, for Hei Kui, this Puppet Old Ancestor, it was not a difficult problem. After setting foot in the underground palace and seeing these high grade puppets, he laughed heartily as if he found a priceless treasure. The Puppet Sect was just rebuilt, but not long after, he could form a real puppet legion to sweep across the Wilderness World! The sole regret was that they didn¡¯t find other Puppet Battle Gods. According to Han Xilai, there truly were more in history, but they were either destroyed or disappeared somewhere. In the entire Puppet Demonic Sect, there was just a single Puppet Battle God. And after it was subdued by the old devil Hei Kui, it was used as his mount. He rode its shoulder to explore every corner of the Eternal World. Leading the disciples of Puppet Sect and numerous puppets, he turned Eternal City upside down. He searched for anything that could be used, wanting to transfer the entire Eternal City to Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm. Chapter 688: Meeting Plot with a Plo t When everyone was sorting out the gains in Puppet Demonic Sect, several disciples of Cloud Mist Sect hastily rushed over, escorting a disciple of Demonic Puppet Sect. Upon seeing Han Xilai standing beside Ye Chuan, both Han Xilai and that disciple exclaimed. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, we caught another disciple of Puppet Demonic Sect, he just came out from the transmission formation.¡± A disciple of Cloud Mist Sect reported. ¡°Han Xilai, do you recognize this person?¡± Ye Chuan closely observed Han Xilai and noticed the change in his expression. ¡°Yes, of course, I recognize him.¡± Han Xilai felt awkward and hesitated for a bit. However, since the matters had already reached this step, he no longer needed to conceal anything. He inwardly sighed and said, ¡°He is the personal disciple of Sect Master Red Robed Old Ancestor, Yuan Baoqiang, and also his absolutely trusted subordinate. This time, he followed Red Robed Old Ancestor to Heavenly Yao Sect. He must have returned to determine the situation of Eternal City.¡± Hai Xilai inwardly sighed becoming even more disappointed with Red Robed Old Ancestor. He had sent an urgent request several times. If Red Robed Old Ancestor had immediately rushed back along with the elite disciples, then they might have turned the tide. However, he delayed until this moment, moreover, dispatched a disciple to confirm the news. He was reluctant to give up the interest of Heavenly Yao Sect but lost his lair. With such a short-sighted Sect Master, could Puppet Demonic Sect still survive the chaos? Even if Ye Chuan had not made the move, sooner or later, some other force would wipe them out. To survive in troubled times, one should either hide like a turtle or have emergency measures. Those who swagger outside would be the fastest one to die. Han Xilai suddenly felt, perhaps, it was wise to join the Puppet Sect. Stubbornly following short sighted Red Robed Old Ancestor, his future path would be narrower and narrower. ¡°Han Xila, you traitor!¡± Yuan Baoqiang was shocked and also furious. Looking at Han Xilai who had sought refuge with Ye Chuan, his heart sunk further. Han Xilai¡¯s guess wasn¡¯t wrong. This time, he was ordered to rush back from Heavenly Yao Sect to check the circumstance of Eternal City. After receiving the news of Eternal City being in danger, Red Robed Old Ancestor also felt uneasy, but since the battle was at the most critical moment, Heavenly Yao Sect was about to be destroyed in one fell swoop and the share of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s long inheritance was right in front of him, Red Robed Old Ancestor was reluctant to give up halfway. After weighing over and over again, he dispatched his personal disciple Yuan Baoqiang to return. On one hand, he wanted to check the situation of Eternal City, on the other hand, he wanted him to relay his order to defend the city until death to Han Xilai. The result, as soon as he stepped out of the transmission array, he was captured. ¡°Han Xilai is not a traitor, he just recognized ancestors and returned to the sect. You, on the other hand, don¡¯t even have the qualification to be a traitor.¡± Ye Chuan looked at Yuan Baoqiang and shook his head. ¡°Hahaha, yes, Your Excellency, give this fellow to me, the Puppet Legion just happen to have a vacancy for such trash.¡± The old devil Hei Kui laughed and grabbed tightly bound Yuan Baoqiang. Very soon, the latter understood. This fellow was also wise, he quickly chose to surrender and reveal everything about the circumstance of Heavenly Yao Sect. The surprise attack of the eight great demonic sect caught Heavenly Yao Sect unguarded. White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi was also injured severely. Soon afterwards, even more sects, devils and experts rushed over and attacked Heavenly Yao Sect in succession, wanting to take a share of Heavenly Yao Sect. No matter how powerful White Haired Heavenly Empress was, she also was unable to withstand this attack. After the fall of the gate, one peak after another fell. Now, they just retract in Heavenly Yao Peak on their last legs. Under the siege of experts all over the world, White Haired Heavenly Express had already suffered a serious injury. Heavenly Yao Sect which was known as the foremost sect in the world would not be able to sustain for long and fall. ¡°Kakaka, Your Excellency, this castle is already emptied, we can leave.¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin returned and laughed with excitement. In this operation, Hei Kui was the one who benefited the most. Second to Hei Kui, he was the one who gained a lot. After plundering the essence energy of many Puppet Demonic Sect¡¯s disciples, his energy fluctuation had greatly increased. Now, he was just a line away from breaking through to Half Sage Realm. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s almost the time, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, when should we leave?¡± Zhu Sijia also walked over. After successfully absorbing Puppet Demonic Sect, the harvest of Cloud Mist Sect was amazing, however, compared to Old Demon of Mount Yin and the old devil Hei Kui, Zhu Sijia was not that excited, was even somewhat worried, worried that someone might attack Cloud Mist Sect when it was empty. Now, the word was in chaos, once someone eyed them, it would be troublesome. ¡°We will leave now, Jiajia, lead the disciples back to Cloud Mist Sect with these spoils. Afterward, activate all restrictions and defensive measures of the gate and strictly guard the sect. Everyone else, stay behind.¡± Ye Chuan ordered. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, what about you?¡± ¡°Yes, Your Excellency, could it be that you want to completely control this castle?¡± Zhu Sijia, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were surprised and looked at Ye Chuan with confusion. The old devil Hei Kui was also the same. After successfully obtaining a large amount of spoils, he couldn¡¯t wait to rush back to Demonic Dragon Paradise Realm and take this chance to vigorously develop his Puppet Sect. But, at this moment, staying behind, could it be that Ye Chuan took a fancy to this empty Eternal City? ¡°An empty city is worthless, but a large sect with long inheritance is different.¡± Ye Chuan replied. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, are you talking about Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± Nan Tiandu looked at Yuan Baoqiang who had just returned and vaguely understood the scheme of Ye Chuan. ¡°Correct, it¡¯s Heavenly Yao Sect!¡± Ye Chuan nodded his head and added, ¡°Ever since ancient times, our Cloud Mist Sect has been allied with Heavenly Yao Sect, even now, we still have an ancient oath of alliance, we can¡¯t just watch Heavenly Yao Sect being destroyed with folded arms. Even if we can¡¯t save it, we have to do our best. So many book collections and treasures are better left for us to take away rather than letting them land in the hands of various great devils.¡± ¡°However, Big Senior Apprentice Brother, didn¡¯t you say that we will not to Heavenly Yao Sect and there is not much sense to go there?¡± Zhu Sijia worriedly asked. The current Heavenly Yao Sect was definitely the den of tigers. White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi would definitely fight to the death and there were many sects who wanted a share. At this moment, going to Heavenly Yao Sect, not to mention they might not be able to get anything, they might even be wiped out. ¡°The situation has changed, directly using our name of Cloud Mist Sect naturally won¡¯t do, but if a group of puppets appeared behind Red Robed Old Ancestor, then how many people will notice?¡± Ye Chuan smiled. ¡°Your Excellency, you mean, let Han Xilai and Yuan Baoqiang take the lead a group of battle puppets and us under the guise of the disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect towards Heavenly Yao Sect?¡± The eyes of old devil Hei Kui shone and gradually become hot. Directly going to Heavenly Yao Sect with the name of Cloud Mist Sect was naturally inappropriate, but under the guise of Puppet Demonic Sect, that, however, was different. Red Robed Old Ancestor had sent someone to confirm the news. Meeting plot with a plot, they can dispatch reinforcements. With Han Xilai and Yuan Baoqiang in the lead, let alone being concealed from all other forces, even Red Robed Old Ancestor would be in the dark. They could hide in the dark and at the critical moment, they would move out suddenly. Like this, wouldn¡¯t the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect be within their reach? Amazing! This really was an amazing move! Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were excited and their eyes burned. Heavenly Yao Sect had long inheritance and was known as the foremost sect in the world. The book collection and treasures in Heavenly Yao Sect should be countless times more than Puppet Demonic Sect. If they were successful, then Cloud Mist Sect, Yao Beast Legion and Puppet Sect would benefit a lot! Chapter 689: Puppet Battle Squad Under the command of Ye Chuan, everyone got busy in succession. The troops were divided into two groups. One was led by Zhu Sijia that quickly transported the loots back to the distant Cloud Mist Sect and strictly guarded the sect. As for the other group, with the help of the old devil Hei Kui, they disguised themselves as the disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect and even the battle puppets, forming a puppet battle squad and head towards Heavenly Yao Sect. A dazzling cyan light flashed and Ye Chuan arrived at Heavenly Yao Sect again. This was the third time he stepped into Heavenly Yao Sect after reincarnating. The first time, he came here to borrow Heaven Burning Furnace, and he got it after creating big commotion in Heavenly Yao Sect; the second time, he participated in Grand Sacrifice Competition, disguising as the disciple of Bellowing Waves Sect, looking for a chance to save Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia. This time also, he created a big commotion in Heavenly Yao Sect, in the end, even Wilderness Guardian Meng Qi was alarmed. This time, what kind of mishaps and twists would he encounter? Ye Chuan wearing a heavy armor stood in the midst of numerous battle puppets, disguising as a battle puppet and carefully looked around. After looking around, Heavenly Yao Sect that was known as the peerless sect under heaven in the past already had no momentum. Dark smoke billows everywhere, blood dyed earth red, broken treasures, broken armors and incomplete corpses could be seen everywhere. In addition, the sounds of fighting and screaming continuously came from the distance. The majestic peaks that shocked people in the past were already captured by various forces and rogues of all kinds were running wild. In such a big sect, only the main peak Heavenly Yao Peak was still struggling to sustain. ¡°Your Excellency, should we leave a team here to bring up the rear?¡± The old devil Hei Kui who was riding that puppet battle god¡¯s shoulder asked. In this operation, although the number of troops seemed not much, less than one hundred, in fact, all the battle puppets captured in Eternal City were brought along with Yao Beast Legion in Cyan Lotus Space. As long as there was a need, Ye Chuan could immediately summon the entire Yao Beast Legion and Puppet Legion together. Although not many disciples of Cloud Mist Sect were brought along, they were strong, at least, they weren¡¯t weaker than the disciples of various demonic sects. Leaving behind a team or any one of Nan Tiandu, Plague Archfiend Abasi or Diamond Ape King, they could control the transmission formation and ensure their route of retreat. ¡°No need, let¡¯s go, go to Heavenly Yao Peak!¡± Ye Chuan thought for a bit and quickly made a decision. Leaving behind a team admittedly can ensure their route of retreat at the critical moment, but like that, on the one hand, it would be too conspicuous and easily complicate an issue. On the other hand, that would also disperse their strength and the other party might be able to destroy them one by one. In a dangerous situation, it was especially important to concentrate one¡¯s strength. Heavenly Yao Sect was able to persistently sustain until now because, on the one hand, it was a big tree with deep roots, on the other hand, it took the initiative to concentrate their power in the main peak and defend to the death. After taking a quick glance around, Ye Chuan saw many odd points. Various peaks had dark smoke billowing and there were also a lot of corpses, but, there were still many ancient restrictions at the summit, some were even intact. This explained that the battles of most peaks were far less intense than imagined. Clearly, there was something wrong with the situation. Although White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi was cold-blooded and ruthless, regardless of her cultivation base or methods, they were all extraordinary, otherwise, Heavenly Yao Sect would have already fallen into enemy hands. ¡°Let¡¯s go, go to Heavenly Yao Peak!¡± ¡°Remember, upon seeing your former fellow disciples, don¡¯t panic, Yuan Baoqiang and Han Xilai will handle everything.¡± The old devil Hai Kui instructed as he rushed towards Heavenly Yao Peak while controlling numerous puppets. The person in the front was none other Yuan Baoqiang, the personal disciple of Red Robed Old Ancestor, with a few disciples of Puppet Demonic Sect closely behind him; then was Elder Han Xilai and numerous battle puppets. Ye Chuan, Nan Tiandu, Little Long¡¯er, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others disguised as battle puppets were mixed among them. After leaving the transmission formation, along the way, they gradually encounter more and more people. There were disciples of various sects and also devils that came from all corners of the land, all were rushing towards Heavenly Yao Peak in twos and threes. Upon seeing the puppet battle squad, these people quickly moved aside to give way in succession. Since Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s fate was almost exhausted and its destruction was near at hand, various sects under heaven got into action without delay to hit a person when he was down. Everyone was eager to take a share of the spoils and besieged Heavenly Yao Sect. However, the eight great demonic sects were still the one taking the lead. All the experts in the world were familiar with the peerless Puppet Demonic Sect among eight great demonic sect. The puppet techniques of Puppet Demonic Sect had always been believed to be one of the most wicked merit laws in the Wilderness World. Unless one was far stronger, one would be refined into a puppet. Therefore, all the experts had always been cautious about Puppet Demonic Sect. When they saw Ye Chuan¡¯s group, they naturally regarded this puppet battle squad as the reinforcement of Puppet Demonic Sect and no one dared to block them, also no one doubted the identity of this puppet battle squad. After an hour, the battle puppet squad crossed over mountain after mountain and arrived at Heavenly Yao Peak. Looking over, they saw that this towering majestic peak was being besieged by numerous experts. At the foot of the mountain, there were tents all around. Various forces had built their campsite on the spot, taking turns to attack the remnant army of Heavenly Yao Sect. The allied force had already forced the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect to the summit. During the fiercest offense, the allied force had even reached less than 100 meters away from Heavenly Yao Hall. Every round of attack would cause big casualties among the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect. The ancient restrictions all over the peak had already long gone. It seemed that as long as they attacked for a few more rounds, Heavenly Yao Sect would thoroughly fall. Ye Chuan¡¯s group had arrived at the right time. Ye Chuan and the old devil Hei Kui looked at each other and readily took the hint. They didn¡¯t stay at the foot of the mountain for long and went straight to the summit. Not long after, they found Red Roved Old Ancestor who was fighting a bloody battle. After the fierce fight for three whole months, the elites brought by Red Robed Old Ancestor had already suffered heavy casualties. Upon seeing the puppet battle squad that had suddenly come, Red Robed Old Ancestor was surprised, but under the explanation of Yuan Baoqiang and Han Xilai, his doubts were clarified. Afterward, he excitedly ordered everyone to get ready to fight. In a hurry, he didn¡¯t notice the unusualness of the battle puppets. The reason why Puppet Demonic Sect was known as the Eternal City were, first, it had many untiring labor puppets and there was no need to worry about the exhaustion of resources. Second, ever since it was built, although it had experienced many disasters and storms, it had never be captured. Even when Heavenly Yao Sect was at its heyday, it just suppressed the power of Puppet Demonic Sect, Heavenly Yao Sect didn¡¯t dare to think of attacking Eternal City. Because of this, Red Robed Old Ancestor treated it lightly and even after receiving the urgent report, he didn¡¯t immediately return with the main force. He had never even thought in the dream that Eternal City had already changed owners, and didn¡¯t have any doubts on Ye Chuan¡¯s group. Relying on the disguise, Ye Chuan and others smoothly sneaked into the formation of Puppet Demonic Sect. When Red Robed Old Ancestor led the army to attack, they followed him and pretended to attack, and during the retreat, they ran faster than anyone else and quietly hid, waiting for a favorable chance. Chapter 690: Crazy Mistress On Heavenly Yao Peak, the allied army of experts and devils under heaven fought side by side, launching attacks on Heavenly Yao Hall, one wave after another. In order to deal with the calamity, Heavenly Yao Sect had taken the initiative to retreat to the limit, defending just Heavenly Yao Hall, abandoning all other places. As a result, they no longer had anywhere to retreat. Now, even that final front was going to fall. Once Heavenly Yao Hall fell under the attacks of other experts, Heavenly Yao Sect which had a long inheritance would disappear. ¡°Hahaha, kill, annihilate Heavenly Yao Sect, capture Zhao Tianbi, that White Haired Heavenly Empress!¡± ¡°Capture Zhao Tianbi alive, kill¡­¡± People shouted loudly as they initiated a series of ferocious attacks. Especially numerous devils, they laughed while rushing forward in groups, hoping to be the first one to break in. When Heavenly Yao Sect shrunk their defense line, abandoning other peaks, most of the crystal stones, pills, book collections and treasures were moved to Heavenly Yao Hall. In other words, the long inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect was gathered here. Whoever be the first to break in would be the first one to obtain the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect. The more suppressed in the past, the fiercer the eruption! Heavenly Yao Sect had dominated Wilderness World and regarded oneself as peerless for many years. Many illustrious righteous sects were either won over or suppressed. As for the demonic sects and devils, they were suppressed even more, wanting to wipe them out. The sect¡¯s disciples were also proud, even the Sect Master of other sects didn¡¯t enter their eyes, but they were forced to keep their resentment to themselves in front of this peerless sect. When Heavenly Yao Sect was at the apex, no one dared to do anything. But, when the fate of Heavenly Yao Sect began to go downhill, all fury erupted and they attacked crazily. The sects and experts that were suppressed more severely in the past attacked even more ferociously. In front of Heavenly Yao Sect, there was a big square. This square naturally was incomparable to Heavenly Yao Square, but the ground was covered with obsidian boards and there were also statues. The momentum of this place was extraordinary. This square which looked solemn and quiet in former days, now, had turned into a bloody slaughter field. The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect and other various sects desperately fought here. A faint cyan light shrouded this square which was the only remaining ancient restriction of Heavenly Yao Peak. In the area shrouded by this ancient restriction, the speed and strength of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples had increased substantially than before. Their combat power had also increased vastly, but, even like this, they were unable to stop the attacks of various sects and were forced to retreat again and again in defeat. Even this ancient restriction itself also was on the verge of collapse under the ferocious attacks of devils and experts. Finally, along with shattering sound, this restriction also shattered. ¡°Kill, leave nothing behind!¡± ¡°What peerless sect, it¡¯s also just so-so, hahaha¡­¡± All experts cheered loudly as their morale surged up and they rushed forward. Without the help of the restriction, the disciples who were barely able to resist collapse in an instant. Seeing the companions standing in front of them collapsing in a pool of blood, the disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect standing at the back cried out in alarm and fled everywhere. Unfortunately, there was nowhere to run. Heavenly Yao Sect was already surrounded by various sects. Some people trembled and knelt down to surrender, but they were greeted with a sharp sword, not a rope. Now, either resisting or kneeling down to surrender was death. This time, various sects were determined to thoroughly wipe out Heavenly Yao Sect. Especially the eight great demonic sects, they wanted to completely wipe out Heavenly Yao Sect. Blood dyed the entire square red and the screams resounded throughout the sky. The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who considered themselves the best in the world were greeted by a big slaughter. Not a single one was able to escape this disaster. Very soon, the allied forces killed to the front of Heavenly Yao Hall with unstoppable momentum. ¡°When I became a Sage, this world will not have darkness!¡± ¡°When I achieve the Dao, the time will cease to pass!¡± ¡°When I dominate the wilderness, all creation of this world will have no way to stop this sword!¡± At the moment when the allied army was about to step into Heavenly Yao Hall, an ice-cold voice suddenly resounded. The step of experts and devils in the front suddenly stopped, then a pallid light spread upward from their foot. Wherever that pallid light spread, a layer of ice covered that place. Instantly, all people charging in the front turned into ice-sculpture. They were frozen solid. Next, a cold light flashed and a hint of sword light streak across which cut the experts and devils into two halves. A cold wind blew over bringing along a bone-piercing chill. A woman wearing a white robe suddenly flashed over, bringing along a cold wind, and stood on the roof of Heavenly Yao Hall. White Haired Heavenly Empress who was known as the number one Half Sage Realm expert appeared at the critical moment. White Haired Heavenly Empress looked pale and looked like she was seriously injured. Her left sleeve was also empty. At this moment, she was weak like never before. However, even if she had only a breath left, the white robe on her body was still clean and spotless. She looked just like a female celestial not interested in mundane affairs. Great Wishing Technique! White Haired Heavenly Empress was ghastly pale. In this period of time, she had suffered heavy injuries, but the might of this technique was still astonishing. She instantly killed over a hundred experts and devils rushing in the front. As for the remaining people, all coincidentally retreated and looked at White Haired Heavenly Empress with deep fear. Just a moment ago, there were many devils who were shouting that they wanted to capture Zhao Tianbi alive, however, when the latter stood in front of them, they were terrified, nervous and even trembled in succession. Every Heavenly Empress was aloof and remote existence in Wilderness World. Even through White Haired Heavenly Empress was seriously injured, her combat power was still so astonishing. Who dared to step forward and give her a final fatal blow? The experts and devils looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to take a step forward. The final attack of a peerless expert just before the death would absolutely have incomparable might. Various experts had already forced White Haired Heavenly Empress to the dead end, but at the last moment, no one dared to step forward and give her the final blow. No one was stupid, at this moment when the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect was already close at hand, no one wanted to perish together with White Haired Heavenly Empress. ¡°The sects all over the world have gathered in my Heavenly Yao Sect, well, well, what illustrious, what righteous, what demonic, what evil path, all came together.¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress swept through the crowd and coldly said. Then, after a pause, she added, ¡°Well, you all have killed to this place, but no one dares to step forward and fight to the death with this mistress? Hahaha, what right wrongs in accordance with Heaven¡¯s decree, what peerless, at the critical moment, you all are just a coward, hahahahaha¡­¡± Facing numerous experts, White Haired Heavenly Empress didn¡¯t try to break out of an encirclement, instead sat cross-legged on the roof of Heavenly Yao Hall and laughed like she had gone crazy. It looked like she was unwilling to abandon Heavenly Yao Sect and would rather burn both jade and common stone. Although the white robe she was wearing was spotlessly white, her eyes, however, were red like a crazy yao beast. Chapter 691: Mistress’s Scheme More and more devils and experts clustered around Heavenly Yao Hall, but everyone remained silent, no one dared to step forward. In the sky above Heavenly Yao Hall, only the laughter of White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi resounded. Even if the hero was past his prime, during the dire straits, no one would dare to look down on him. In front of White Haired Heavenly Empress, all the experts had a solemn expression. No one was willing to fight to the death against her. Everyone wanted to the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect, but no one wanted to perish together with White Haired Heavenly Empress. Naturally, the experts also felt secure as Heavenly Yao Sect was heavily surrounded, although White Haired Heavenly Empress considered herself the best in the world, this was just outwardly strong but inwardly weak state, nothing more. Heavenly Yao Sect was already finished. As more and more experts rushed over to Heavenly Yao Hall, the situation of Heavenly Yao Sect was getting worse and worse, and the moment was total annihilation was getting closer. ¡°You all, don¡¯t you want the cultivation techniques and treasures of my Heavenly Yao Sect? Come, all are here.¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress suddenly showed a ring on her finger. Then, the ring flashed and a large pile of cultivation techniques and colorful treasures appeared in front of Heavenly Yao Hall. There were flying swords, armors, pills and numerous rare treasures. All those treasures emitted majestic energy fluctuation, clearly, each one was an extraordinary treasure. The eyes of experts gradually became scorching hot, looking at the treasures piled up like a mountain. Among them, any booklet might contain distinctive peerless technique, and any treasure might be refined into a peerless treasure. Heavenly Yao Sect had dominated Wilderness World for a lot tine, all the treasures and merit laws passed down were rare good things. This was the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect, whoever got it could become the next overlord of Wilderness World. Upon seeing the coveted treasures right in front of their eyes, the experts became excited, especially numerous devils, they were eager to make a move. However, looking at the pile of treasures and again looking at White Haired Heavenly Empress, they forcibly suppressed their impulse to rush over. What a crazy mistress, at this moment, she didn¡¯t try her best to break out of the encirclement, rather took out the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect, what did she want? Was she attempting to use these treasures to win over and break up the alliance, turning danger into safety, or¡­ People became solemn and vaguely felt uneasy. This action of White Haired Heavenly Empress made everyone restless. ¡°Heavenly Empress, I¡­¡± Lu Dingfei, the Sect Master of Wuhua Sect, was a big and tall man. He used to be the bold and straightforward person, but under the gaze of White Haired Heavenly Empress, he was tongue-tied and lowered his head with a flushed face. In these last few years when Heavenly Yao Sect had dominated the Wilderness World, it had suppressed many sects and many formidable opponents, but it had also won over many sects. Especially those small sects that had difficult progressing, being able to get close to Heavenly Yao Sect was the greatest honor. When Heavenly Yao Sect ate meat, they could drink the soup. Wuhai Sect was one such small sect that was attached to Heavenly Yao Sect for over a thousand years. But, this time, it followed other sects to wipe out Heavenly Yao Sect. Although it similarly shouted the slogan of resisting power, in private, it similarly had also come from the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect. Merely, although he had already killed many Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples, in the end, he was still somewhat ashamed in front of White Haired Heavenly Empress. ¡°What about you? Head Zhang Chang, didn¡¯t your Mount Yin Faction also come to seize my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance and kill this mistress?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress sneered. Her gaze landed on the head of Mount Yin Faction and after a pause, she coldly said, ¡°13 years ago, who was surrounded by Daqin Dynasty and almost got uprooted? And who was it that help your Mount Yin Faction retain the inheritance?¡± The old face of Mount Yin Faction also turned red. He didn¡¯t dare to look straight at White Haired Heavenly Empress and similarly lowered his head in silence. At that time when Daqing King Li Yuan ascended the throne, he was very ambitious. Not to mention he increased his territory, he also extended his claws to the world of cultivation, attempting to dip his finger and control the cultivating sects under the heaven. As a result, many small sects were quickly swallowed by the army of Daqin Dynasty. In those years, Mount Yin Faction also nearly suffered that kind of fate. At the final moment, the head of Mount Yin Faction, Zhang Chang, personally came to Heavenly Yao Sect that was known as the overlord of cultivation and knelt down to White Haired Heavenly Empress, begging bitterly. Under the protection of Heavenly Yao Sect, Mount Yin Faction survived that calamity. Unexpectedly, just after ten or so years, Zhang Chang, the head of Mount Yin Faction, personally led the experts of his faction to destroy Heavenly Yao Sect. When Heavenly Yao Sect was like the sun at high noon, they made every effort to curry favor. But now, when Heavenly Yao Sect was in a hopeless situation, they ruthlessly stepped on it. Even though his skin was thick, facing the gaze of White Haired Heavenly Empress, his face turned red. ¡°Furthermore you, Sect Master Bugui, did you also come to kill this mistress?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress¡¯s gaze landed on another expert, ¡°76 years ago, who suffered the surprise attack of Puppet Demonic Sect and nearly got wiped out? Who was it that was nearly refined into a puppet by that old devil Red Robed Old Ancestor? Again, who was it that saved the life of your sect¡¯s 3,723 people and secured your sect?¡± The complexion of White Haired Heavenly Empress was calm, but her gaze on Sect Master Gui Chao was sharp. Compared to Wuhua Sect and Mount Yin Faction, Gui Chao Sect was a well-known sect in the Wilderness World. Although they didn¡¯t have many disciples, all were outstanding. Gui Chao Sect was one of the very few large sects in the Wilderness World. Sect Master Han Bugui was very low-keyed, he rarely showed his face in public, but rumor had it that he had already broken through to Half Sage Realm, dozens of years before. The crowd besieging Heavenly Yao Sect became restless. People knew the character of Han Bugui, the Sect Master of Gui Chao Sect, he was known to be open and aboveboard. However, no one had heard the matter of 76 years ago. If what White Haired Heavenly Empress said was the truth, then the current behavior of Han Bugui, what was it any different with the devil, could he still be called open and aboveboard? The complexion of Han Bugui, the Sect Master of Gui Chao Sect, got cloudy and he remained silent as if inwardly thinking of how to refute. The commotion became bigger, now, even some young disciples of Gui Chao Sect were somewhat at a loss. After taking out the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect, White Haired Heavenly Empress unexpectedly began to rebuke the experts. Wherever her gaze landed, the experts of many sects lowered their heads in succession. Chapter 692: Last Heavenly Empress ¡°Hahaha, what, did you all forget how to speak? Hahahaha¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi roared with laughter. Then, using a technique, she tossed a flame on that pile of merit laws and treasures. Then, watching them burn, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t you all want my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance? If you have the ability, then come and take it! If this mistress can¡¯t keep it, then don¡¯t imagine that you all will get it, hahaha, hahahaha¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress whose complexion was ice-cold just now suddenly laughed heartily as if a lunatic. ¡°No¡­, don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Heavenly Empress¡­¡± The experts of various sects that surrounded Heavenly Yao Hall were greatly surprised. The surviving disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect were also the same. Some of them had a look of disbelief, some of them were stunned, some screamed loudly, and there were also some whose legs went soft and knelt on the ground. Finished! This time, heavenly Yao Sect was truly finished, the fate had exhausted! The disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who already were tense thoroughly despaired. They understood that Heavenly Yao Sect would soon become history. As the aloof and refined Heavenly Empress, Zhao Tianbi didn¡¯t have the power to turn the tide and break out of the encirclement, thus, seeing the situation was already unrecoverable, she actively destroyed the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect in front of everyone. What a crazy mistress! Among the crowd, Ye Chuan who was disguised as a battle puppet was also shocked. He had not expected that Zhao Tianbi, this last Heavenly Empress, was so crazy! Among the merit laws and treasures that piled up like a mountain, there was no lack of merit laws and treasures passed down from the founder Blue Eyed Yao Empress, but there were also inheritances of the successive experts of Heavenly Yao Sect. Every merit law and every treasure couldn¡¯t be obtained easily. Perhaps, a small flying sword was forged, paying the blood and life of numerous Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s disciples. Destroying just like this, who wouldn¡¯t feel heartache? How despaired and how much crazy White Haired Heavenly Empress was to do this? A hint of inexplicable sadness appeared in Ye Chuan¡¯s heart. Like Cloud Mist Sect, although Heavenly Yao Sect was established by Blue Eyed Yao Empress, he had spent painstaking efforts in those years. Watching Heavenly Yao Sect about to be completely wiped out just like this and turn into history, if Blue Eyed Yao Empress was here, how would she feel? When they established Heavenly Yao Sect together, who had imagined such day? Once Heavenly Yao Sect fell, Cloud Mist Sect would have one less enemy, but Ye Chuan was not happy. ¡°Kill, brothers, kill this damn woman, stop her atrocity!¡± ¡°Zhao Tianbi, your death is here!¡± Regardless of righteous sects or demonic sects, all experts had come a long way with the main objective, capture the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect. Witnessing the craziness of White Haired Heavenly Empress, they couldn¡¯t stand stall, they dashed ahead regardless of their safety. In Heavenly Yao Hall, there furthermore were many surviving disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect. Among them, there was no lack of powerful experts. Unfortunately, witnessing the craziness of White Haired Heavenly Empress, everyone was downhearted and was in no mood to fight. Without the protection of restriction, even if they wanted to stop these experts, they were powerless. Soon, Heavenly Yao Sect completely collapsed and the disciples fled. Many died and some took the initiative to kneel down and surrender. The experts laughed and heavily surrounded the last Heavenly Empress/. ¡°Come, all together, being able to drag you all to bury with me, I, Zhao Tianbi, also have nothing to regret in my life, hahaha¡­¡± Zhao Tianbi roared with laughter and the fire in front of Heavenly Yao hall became even more vigorous, burning the merit laws and treasures. Someone couldn¡¯t help but rush up, wanting to be the first one to seized something valuable, but a cold light flashed and he was chopped into two halves by the sword of Zhao Tianbi. Perhaps, she just attacked without defending because she knew that she would die here, or perhaps, she had already gone crazy, the combat power of heavily injured Zhao Tianbi was astonishing. Her sword techniques seemed to have become swifter and fiercer than before, surpassing her normal level. ¡°Kill!¡± The pupils of Red Robed Old Ancestor and others shrunk. Their complexion was tense feeling a danger. But, looking the raging flame, they rushed over as every second count. A glint and flash of daggers and swords flashed in front of Heavenly Yao Hall. Almost all sect masters or elders of various sects rushed forward. All of them were Half Sage Realm peak experts. They jointly attacked crazy White Haired Heavenly Yao Sect. The two sides fought a ferocious battle, often emitting strong shockwaves and sword lights. Some Peak Daoist Master Realm experts had joined the battle, the result, they were killed by just the aftermath before joining the battle. In addition, sword lights and blade lights emitted from the battle created deep marks on the ground. This was a battle only Half Sage Realm experts could participate. This was an extremely fierce fight! A total of seventeen Half Sage Realm experts jointly attacked Zhao Tianbi, this last Heavenly Empress. Among them, there were the sect masters of demonic sects like Red Robed Old Ancestor, the experts of righteous sects like Sect Master of Gui Chao Sect Han Bugui and also both righteous and evil loose cultivators. They used their respective deadly moves to attack ferociously. Soon, White Haired Heavenly Empress was dripping with blood and deep wounds could be seen everywhere, however, not only this mistress didn¡¯t fall, instead, she laughed and became braver along with the battle. She alone competed against 17 Half Sage Realm experts. The lunatic White Haired Heavenly Empress thoroughly displayed the terrifying might of Heavenly Empress. The sword in her hand, elbow, knee and even her hair, all turned into a deadly killing weapon. She was similarly a Half Sage Realm expert, however, even when fighting against 17 Half Sage Realm experts, she actually didn¡¯t fall, rather held her ground. ¡°Heavenly Empress¡­¡± Some disciples of Heavenly Yao Sect who had not died yet, looking at White Haired Heavenly Empress who was fighting a bloody battle, shouted and rushed ahead regardless of their safety. But, like a moth darting into a flame, they were crushed by these 17 peak experts. White Haired Heavenly empress just laughed as if she didn¡¯t see those disciples, but her attacks got more and more ferocious. Her every move was deadly killing moves. On the Heavenly Yao Peak, no one cheered, everyone remained silent, watching the craziness of the last Heavenly Empress in shock. This was the Heavenly Empress who had already gone mad, this was the tragic and heroic times. Although Zhao Tianbi was crazy, she was doomed to die today, she wouldn¡¯t be able to persist for much longer. Heavenly Yao Sect which had the long inheritance of hundreds of thousands of years was about to be buried in oblivion in the long river of time. Chapter 693: Wildly Arrogan t Looking at the craziness of White Haired Heavenly Empress, Ye Chuan who was mixed in Puppet Demonic Sect was also silent. Because of Heavenly Maiden Hong Zixia, he didn¡¯t have any good impression of Zhao Tianbi, this madwoman. However, looking at the collapsing Heavenly Yao Sect which he had personally built in those years, he didn¡¯t feel good. ¡°Zhao Tianbi, hand over the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect!¡± ¡°Hand over the inheritance and your life will be spared, otherwise, die!¡± 17 Half Sage Realm experts ferociously glared at White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi and ferociously attacked jointly. However, seeing Zhao Tianbi was about to die, these devils didn¡¯t go all out. They were waiting for a chance to seize the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect. Many merit laws and treasures were already burned to ashes by raging flames, but no one believed that Zhao Tianbi had truly destroyed all the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect. Truly powerful merit laws and treasures should still be in her hands. ¡°Hahaha, want my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance, come, hahaha¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi roared with laughter. Even under the joint attack of these 17 experts, she laughed and launched fierce counterattacks. After attacking for a while, upon seeing White Haired Heavenly Empress, this madwoman, was unwilling to hand over Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance even if she died, those 17 experts were also furious and their attacks became more and more ferocious. Soon, White Haired Heavenly Empress was dripping with blood. However, even though she was fatally injured, she actually didn¡¯t surrender, she laughed and launch ferocious counterattacks with the appearance of wanting to perish together with her opponents. An ice-cold killing intent suddenly came from the distance. A black-haired young man wearing a black robe suddenly appeared above Heavenly Yao Peak and flew over with a spear in his hand. He was expressionless and cold. He was also very fast and was flying over emitting dense killing intent. He made everyone feel extreme danger. All the people in his path were sent flying. Even a Peak Daoist Master Realm expert was killed in an instant. He wasn¡¯t even able to respond. Looking from the distance, he looked like an unstoppable Slaughter God in the midst of countless experts outside Heavenly Yao Hall, rushing straight towards White Haired Heavenly Empress. Qing Tianhou? Ye Chuan turned to look and his pupils shrunk. He quickly recognized the identity of this intruder. He was none other than Qing Tianhou. ¡°Who are you? Stop! Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance is ours, scram!¡± Red Robed Old Ancestor who had been attacking White Haired Heavenly Empress roared loudly with dense killing intent. When Heavenly Yao Sect was completely destroyed, its inheritance would fall in the hands of only true experts. There were many people that came from afar to attack Heavenly Yao Sect, but only a few were destined to get a share of spoils. A Half Sage Realm expert could naturally get a share of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance after White Haired Heavenly Empress was defeated. As for average people, wanting to join this battle was courting death! ¡°Humph, you all should scram! You all are just trash, you all are not worthy of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance!¡± Qing Tianhou coldly snorted and suddenly attacked Red Robed Old Ancestor. A loud scream resounded throughout the sky above Heavenly Yao Hall. A grand Sect Master of Puppet Demonic Sect, a grand Half Sage Realm expert, Red Robed Old Ancestor was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. After he fell to the ground, he pointed at Qing Tianhou with great difficulty in disbelief and died. There was a big bloody hole on his chest. In that instant, his chest was already pierced by Qing Tianhou¡¯s spear. ¡°Who is he? Why is he so powerful?¡± ¡°Qing Tianhou, he is Qing Tianhou who is rumored to be from Outer World! Isn¡¯t this Slaughter God supposed to be trapped in a certain ominous domain? How come he suddenly appear here? In addition, why is his cultivation so powerful? Could it be that he has already broken through to Sage Realm from Half Sage Realm?¡± People made a commotion. Some experienced and knowledgeable experts exclaimed in succession, quickly recognizing the identity of Qing Tianhou. Those remaining 16 Half Sage Realm experts who were attacking White Haired Heavenly Empress also stopped and looked at Qing Tianhou who had dispatched Red Robed Old Ancestor in one hit in solemn. At the same time, they felt danger. Among these 16 experts, there was no lack of devils that were even more powerful than Red Robed Old Ancestor, but they similarly were just Half Sage Realm and naturally, they were far from being able to dispatch Red Robed Old Ancestor in one move. Even in the entire Wilderness World, there was no Half Sage Realm expert that could do this, only a Sage Realm expert had this kind of terrifying combat power! ¡°Three blossoms gathered above, tyrannical body and spirit fusion, and heaven-defying cultivation, yes, this really is Sage Realm!¡± Ye Chuan muttered with a solemn face. He quickly saw through the changes of Qing Tianhou and his true strength. Just like people said, he had truly broken through to Sage Realm. It seemed that this fellow not only didn¡¯t suffer a setback in Reincarnation Grave, instead, he derived grain by misfortune and broke through his bottleneck! Perhaps, he accidentally obtained some kind of treasure in Reincarnation Grave, or perhaps, he had fortuitous encounter after escaping Reincarnation Grave! ¡°Did he really breakthrough to Sage Realm?¡± ¡°Your Excellency, what should we do?¡± Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others standing beside Ye Chuan were terrifying and nervous. Nan Tiandu who never feared to face a strong opponent also was nervous. After fusing with Evil Dragon Meng Qi in flesh and spiritual level, his cultivation had soared rapidly and his physical body had become very doughty, in addition, his combat power was strongest among numerous powerful followers beside Ye Chuan, already was infinitely close to Peak Half Sage Realm. With such cultivation base, he was considered one of the strongest in the entire Wilderness World, but, it was not worth even mentioning in front of a Sage Realm expert. Red Robed Old Ancestor who similarly was Half Sage Realm was killed in one move by Qing Tianhou, what if he was in that place? Could he have avoided that fatal move? The heart of Nan Tiandu sunk further and further as cold sweats appeared on his forehead. Ye Chuan beside him was also not much better. This time they returned to Heavenly Yao Sect wanting to take advantage of muddled waters to fish, mixing with Puppet Demonic Sect. Beyond their expectation, before they got the fish, they encounter a ferocious crocodile! ¡°Greetings brother, you are welcome to join! Come, let us send this last Heavenly Empress on her way together.¡± Yan Xueying, the Sect Master of Demonic Shadow Sect that was the leader of eight great demonic sects, reacted first and took the initiative to welcome Qing Tianhou to join them. When dealing with a heaven-defying expert, if they were unable to get rid of him, then it would be best to draw him over to their camp and tie up mutual benefits. Compared to Red Robed Old Ancestor, Yan Xueying¡¯s means were more shrewd and ruthless. Unfortunately, man proposes but God disposes, when he had hardly finished speaking, a figure appeared right before his eyes, then he felt severe pain in his chest as he was sent flying. ¡°Who is your brother? Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance is mine, you all, scram to one side for this Lord Hou, scram as far away as possible!¡± Qing Tianhou suddenly made a move and sent Yan Xueying flying, then coldly said. Another Half Sage Realm expert had his chest pierced, leaving him only half alive. The crowd became restless and all the experts simultaneously retreated, wanting to get far away from Qing Tianhou, this Slaughter God, leaving behind only 15 Half Sage Realm experts that surrounded White Haired Heavenly Empress. Their face also became pale as they became nervous. Chapter 694: A Killing Move Insufferably arrogant Qing Tianhou who had suddenly appeared looked down upon all experts. He was not satisfied with just taking a share of the spoils, he unexpectedly declared publicly that he wanted to monopolize Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance. The 15 Half Sage Realm experts who were besieging White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi suddenly looked unsightly and their complexion also became cloudy. The energy fluctuation of Qing Tianhou was astonishing. A single move inflicted heavy damage to Half Sage Realm Red Robed Old Ancestor and Yan Xueying. These two were well-known great devils, but they actually were unable to withstand even a single move. The cultivation of Qing Tianhou was absolutely heaven-defying, very likely that he had already broken through his bottleneck and step into Sage Realm. Such a Slaughter God was a nightmare for any Half Sage Realm experts. Resisting such a Slaughter God was very likely asking for instant death. But, retreating just like this, giving up the benefits within reach, who was willing? In order to seize the inheritance of Heavenly Yao Sect, they had paid a big price, attacking for a full three months. Some suffered serious damage to their vitality and some also lost a lot of followers and disciples. After making so much hard effort, letting Qing Tianhou take away all the benefits, who would be willing? All 15 Half Sage Realm experts prepared to make a move, but under the pressure of Qing Tianhou, no one dared to rashly make a move. ¡°Hahaha, well, well, here comes another one!¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress roared with laughter. Everyone was afraid of Qing Tianhou, she, however, ignored him and continued to laugh, ¡°What Sect Master, what regional overload, scared like this just seeing a villain from the Outer World, pei, still having delusion of seizing my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance like this, keep dreaming, hahaha¡­¡± Under the joint attacks of everyone, White Haired Heavenly Empress was already at the end of her life. Her entire body was dripping with blood, but, perhaps, because she had already discarded the thoughts of survival, she laughed, standing in front of Heavenly Yao Hall without any intention to break out of the encirclement. The flame beside her also became stronger, burning many merit laws and treasures that could make people go crazy. The face of 15 Half Sage Realm experts suddenly became red like a pig¡¯s liver. Along with the laughter of White Haired Heavenly Empress, the face of all experts became unsightly. ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go together and kill this devil from the Outer World!¡± 15 Half Sage Realm experts looked at each other and simultaneously rushed up in tacit understanding. Then, they jointly attacked Qing Tianhou. This time, unlike when they were attacking lunatic White Haired Heavenly Empress who was barely alive, they went all out. All their moves were deadly. Before the eyes of everyone, a fierce battle erupted in front of Heavenly Yao Hall. Originally, the experts had come to attack Heavenly Yao Sect, wanting to seize Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance from White Haired Heavenly Empress. Therefore, there was no benefit in fighting against Qing Tianhou, but they were unable to tolerate the arrogance of Qing Tianhou. Qing Tianhou was truly powerful, even under the joint attack of 15 Half Sage Realm experts, he actually wasn¡¯t at any disadvantage. He absolutely could fight head-on against these 15 peak experts. ¡°Impossible, when did this Qing Tianhou become so powerful?¡± ¡°Yes, when did he became so powerful? Could it be that this fellow that came from Outer World had always been hiding his true strength?¡± The onlooking experts made comments in succession. Their eyes were wide open in disbelief. When 15 Half Sage Realm experts came together, the attack power was unparalleled. Unlike when they were attacking White Haired Heavenly Empress who was on the verge of dying, they went all out, but even like that, they were unable to defeat Qing Tianhou, what did this explain? This explained that Qing Tianhou had truly broken through to Sage Realm! Just a Sage Realm expert that far surpassed Half Sage Realm could suppress 15 Half Sage Ream experts! As for whether Qing Tianhou broke through Sage Realm recently or had already broken through a long time ago, no one knew. The crowd became restless. They were greatly surprised by Qing Tianhou¡¯s heaven-defying strength, but even more shocking scene appeared next. After withstanding the ferocious attacks of everyone, Qing Tianhou brazenly initiated a ferocious counterattack. The spear in his hand was incomparably fast. A devil comparable to Red Robed Old Ancestor was instantly killed with a large hole on his chest. These Half Sage Realm experts who lord over a region in former days also became nervous and flurried, and some disturbances appeared in their formation. ¡°Lord Hou is here, Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance is mine, scram¡­¡± Qing Tianhou raised his head high and roared. The word ¡®scram¡¯ exploded in the ears of everyone. Then, the spear in his hand instantly sent three Half Sage Realm experts flying nearly at the same time. One had his chest pierced, another one was bleeding profusely from his stomach and the final one¡¯s head was cracked open. An instant to kill three Half Sage Realm experts, what kind of cultivation base was this? Everyone¡¯s heart shook. The remaining 11 Half Sage Realm experts also were terrified and shrunk back. After paying such a huge price, who was willing to give up at this moment. However, Qing Tianhou was honestly too ferocious. With this Slaughter God here, it was impossible for other people to even think of getting a share of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance. It was even harder than reaching heaven. Qing Tianhou was expressionless. After looking at numerous experts that had retreated in fear, he directly rushed towards White Haired Heavenly Empress who was on the verge of death. Upon seeing this overbearing fellow, White Haired Heavenly Empress who already had no regard for her life and death also got nervous. A Sage Realm expert was unparalleled and omnipotent. Under the joint attacks of numerous experts, she could still support herself, she could even take a few of those experts down with herself, but what about facing a Sage Realm expert? ¡°Well, what a Qing Tianhou, worthy of being an expert that came from Outer World! Boy, didn¡¯t you also want to seize my Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance?¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress coldly looked at overbearing Qing Tianhou and forcibly calmed herself down. She didn¡¯t even fear death and she already didn¡¯t expect to survive this, what else was there that could scare her? ¡°I don¡¯t want the inheritance of some Heavenly Yao Sect, this Lord Hou wants you. Hereafter, you will serve this Lord Hou in the bedroom!¡± Qing Tianhou coldly replied, shocking everyone. Making a grand Heavenly Empress of Heavenly Yao Sect wait upon in the bedroom, who was so arrogant? Who dared to think like this? Qing Tianhou not only dared to think, also dared to speak out in public. Under his cold face, there was a raging flame that wanted to thoroughly burn Heavenly Yao Sect that was known as the first under heaven. Not only he wanted to seize Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance, he also wanted to capture White Haired Heavenly Empress and humiliate her all her life. Chapter 695: The Conclusion of Wilderness ¡°I¡¯m already old, I cannot serve you Lord Hou, also cannot live together, can only die together, hahaha¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress Zhao Tianbi didn¡¯t get angry, instead laughed. Her laughter resounded throughout the sky. The towering Heavenly Yao Peak suddenly shook, then the entire ground also shook. Earthquake? The complexion of all experts changed slightly and they looked around in confusion. But, the laughter of White Haired Heavenly Empress became even louder. ¡°Empress, do you want to personally destroy Heavenly Yao Sect with everyone here?¡± The complexion of Qing Tianhou also changed greatly. He was keenly aware of the madness of White Haired Heavenly Empress. The ground shook again. This was it was even more violent. Many people were unable to stand stably and fell to the ground. ¡°Hahaha, boy, now you know, isn¡¯t it too late to complain? Hahaha¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress laughed and used a technique. Heavenly Yao peak shook even more violently. In addition, numerous cracks appeared on the walls of majestic Heavenly Yao Hall and boulders rolled down the mountain. ¡°Earthquake, quickly run!¡± ¡°Heavenly Empress has gone mad, run, run far away from this lunatic!¡± The complexion of everyone changed. They shouted loudly and tried to be the first one to flee from Heavenly Yao Peak. At that time, colorful radiance suddenly erupted from the finger of White Haired Heavenly Empress and spread all over Heavenly Yao Peak. People looked up and saw countless treasures and merit laws raining down from the sky. As expected, the merit laws and treasures burned by White Haired Heavenly Empress were just a small part of Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance. As Heavenly Yao peak was about to collapse, this mistress took out all Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance and scattered them all over the sky. Obtaining one treasure, their combat power would instantly increase vastly. If a merit law was obtained, then one might be able to make a breakthrough and reach the heaven in a single bound, one might even stand at the pinnacle and be able to establish one¡¯s own sect! Upon seeing the treasures and merit laws falling from the sky, all people that were just about to flee became excited and their eyes were scorching hot. All of them came to Heavenly Yao Sect from very far away, moreover, fought hard for three months, for what? Rumbling sounds came from the depths of the ground and the shaking of Heavenly Yao Peak intensified. In addition, not only Heavenly Yao Peak, all places around shook, the ground cracked and many rifts appeared. Sink Earth! White Haired Heavenly Empress laughed heartily as she activated the ultimate restriction of Heavenly Yao Sect. The people here knew perfectly well that Heavenly Yao Peak had already become more and more dangerous, but looking at the treasures and merit laws falling down from the sky, the experts roared and rushed forward to fight for them. In order to obtain a powerful treasure or a merit law, they even attacked others and fought a life-and-death fight. The collapse of Heavenly Yao Peak was near at sight, but everyone was dreaming of becoming the lucky one that escaped with a lot of treasures and merit laws. As for Qing Tianhou, this apex personage, he also was unable to break away from convention. Relying on his sharp sense, he seized high-grade treasures and merit laws. While seizing treasures, he also rushed towards White Haired Heavenly Empress, wanting to capture her alive. The latter, however, just laughed and continued to wander around, using a technique, accelerating the collapse of Heavenly Yao Peak. ¡°Your Excellency, such a rare chance, we all should¡­¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin who was mixed in with the crowd also seized a few treasures and proudly turned to look at Ye Chuan. Ye Chuan, however, was still. ¡°Enough, Rhodes, we are leaving.¡± Ye Chuan faintly instructed and lead Nan Tiandu, Little Long¡¯er and others to turn away. Old Demon of Mount Yin was somewhat reluctant, still wanting to seize even more treasures and merit laws, but upon seeing Ye Chuan and others were getting farther and farther away, he had to follow after them, accelerating towards the foot of the mountain. As soon as White Haired Heavenly Empress activate Sink Earth, this ultimate restriction, Ye Chuan knew that Heavenly Yao Sect was thoroughly finished. These people didn¡¯t know about this restriction Sink Earth and were still fighting for Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance. Even Qing Tianhou was no exception to this. Ye Chuan, however, was no stranger to this restriction and left decisively. Speaking about it, Earth Sink, this ultimate restriction was personally laid down by himself and Blue Eyed Yao Empress, the founder of Heavenly Yao Sect, in those years. They had spent painstaking efforts. Many materials of this restriction were scavenged from various parts of Wilderness World and it took nearly 17 years to complete this restriction. Once this restriction was completely activated, not to mention Heavenly Yao Peak, the surroundings within the radius of over a thousand miles would sink. And at the same time, a powerful restriction would appear in the sky, trapping everyone within. No one could struggle free from this restriction and everything would be swallowed by the ground. Once this restriction was activated, no one could break it. When Ye Chuan and Blue Eyed Yao Empress laid this restriction in those years, they didn¡¯t plan to leave any route of retreat, they wanted to make it a trump card to perish together with the formidable enemy. Therefore, it was called the ultimate restriction. But beyond his expectation, in his previous life during the era of sages, neither he nor Blue Eyed Yao Empress had the opportunity to activate this restriction; now, it, however, was activated by White Haired Heavenly Empress. The ground shook and large pieces of boulders rolled down the mountain. ¡°Little Long¡¯er!¡± Ye Chuan shouted loudly and Little Long¡¯er who was running behind transformed into a demonic dragon. Then, everyone rode the back of Little Long¡¯er and the latter soared in the air. Behind, a large crack appeared on the ground and screams resounded as a lot of people didn¡¯t have time to dodge this crack that suddenly appeared and were swallowed. ¡°This is a trap, this is not an earthquake, not an earthquake, run quickly!¡± The experts who were seizing Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance realized the truth. They then screamed and used all their strength to run away from Heavenly Yao Peak. Unfortunately, it was already too late, before they took even a few steps, they noticed that the situation was not as simple as cracks appearing due to the shaking of the peak, rather Heavenly Yao Peak was sinking, faster and faster. Looking around, they discovered that Heavenly Yao Peak was not the only peak that was sinking, the big and small peaks all around were all also sinking as if the earth cracked open, wanting to swallow the entire Wilderness World. The limbs of all experts turned cold, feeling boundless fear. They even despaired. Qing Tianhou also came back to his senses and his complexion also turned pale in fright. He gave up chasing White Haired Heavenly Empress and just when he wanted to rip the void and leave this place, White Haired Heavenly Empress suddenly grabbed his legs tightly. ¡°Hahaha, Lord Hou, didn¡¯t you want me to serve you in the bedroom? Why are you leaving? Stay here, let me properly serve you. Everyone else also, since you all have come, don¡¯t think about leaving, hahaha¡­¡± White Haired Heavenly Empress laughed. Qing Tianhou used his free leg to ferociously kick her head, but she tenaciously grabbed his right leg, not letting it go. The ground sunk faster and the sky above Heavenly Yao Peak became a vacuum. Along with a whistling sound, a dazzling black radiance suddenly shot up from the depths of the ground and the experts who were fleeing in the sky stepping on a flying sword were pulled back to the ground. They spared no effort to escape, but everything was in vain. Some were hit by the boulders rolling down from the summit, some were unlucky and were thrown into bigger cracks, swallowed by the earth. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, hurry!¡± Ye Chuan suddenly reached out his hand and pressed on the back of Little Long¡¯er. Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others also followed suit. Little Long¡¯er roared and accelerated upward. Just before they were shrouded by that black light, they narrowly rushed out of this danger zone. Now, the blacklight shrouded a large area and the ground was sinking faster and faster. More than half of the originally towering Heavenly Yao Peak was already sunk below the ground, next, less than one-third could be seen above the ground, and in next three breaths of time, it could no longer be seen, just the roof of Heavenly Yao Hall could be seen vaguely. Then, even this room also disappeared. Looking down from the high altitude, the surroundings within the radius of a thousand miles was completely swallowed by the earth. Heavenly Yao Sect that used to dominate the entire Wilderness World was thoroughly annihilated. Between heaven and earth, only the laughter of White Haired Heavenly Empress still resounded vaguely. Qing Tianhou who had broken through to Sage Realm was a fierce and ambitious person, he frightened all experts on Heavenly Yao Peak, but in the end, he was dragged down by White Haired Heavenly Empress who was on the verge of death. This time was different from the holy land of Sea Demon Clan. Even if he had heaven-defying abilities, it was impossible to come out alive from this. High above the clouds sitting on the back of Little Long¡¯er, Nan Tiandu, Old Demon of Mount Yin and others were absolutely terrified upon seeing the scene below. Especially Old Demon of Mount Yin, he was inwardly glad that he listened to the order of Ye Chuan and didn¡¯t cling to Heavenly Yao Sect¡¯s inheritance, otherwise, he would have the safe bad end as Qing Tianhou. ¡°Big Senior Apprentice Brother, where are we going?¡± asked Nan Tiandu. ¡°Return to Cloud Mist Sect,¡± replied Ye Chuan. ¡°Then?¡± asked Old Demon of Mount Yin. Ye Chuan considered for a while and said, ¡°Go to Dragon King Island and move the entire Cloud Mist Sect to overseas, far away from this mainland¡¯s dispute.¡± ¡°And then?¡± asked Nan Tiandu. ¡°Go to Outer World, although Wilderness World is big, I want to go out and take a stroll. What, don¡¯t you all want to go?¡± said Ye Chuan, looking at the distant place. At the horizon, in the place ordinary people couldn¡¯t see, there was a violent wind. A huge time and space rift had appeared at an unknown time, that was a passage leading to the Outer World. It was very dangerous to set foot in it, but they might be able to enter the world that was a hundred times larger than Wilderness World. That place was the real stage for cultivators. ¡°Hahaha, well, I pledge to follow Big Senior Apprentice Brother to death!¡± ¡°Your Excellency, count me in, I also want to take a stroll, kakaka!¡± Old Demon of Mount Yin laughed with excitement. ¡°Little Long¡¯er, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Chuan patted the back of Little Long¡¯er and the entire group of people quickly disappeared into the distance. The first part of Storm in the Wilderness is over! It was a long journey. Thank you all for your support, especially wuxianation, throughout this journey. ¡ªSteady
