800 Emperor Dowager 1

"Fa… father…" The little Emperor stared at the Grand Emperor pitifully.

The door of the bedroom was pushed open by someone suddenly.

An elegant and graceful lady walked in. The lady was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was at most twenty-six or twenty-seven. There was almost no trace of childishness that belonged to girls but more demureness.

The moment the lady pushed open the door, a trace of astonishment appeared on the delicate face of the little Emperor who was sitting on.

"Son?!"

The little Emperor raised his eyes and burst into tears the moment he saw the lady. He immediately rushed into her arms and cried. "Mother, father… father just beat me…"

The lady was slightly stunned. She was the Emperor Dowager now, the Grand Emperor's only wife and the little Emperor's mother.

The Emperor Dowager was shocked as she saw the red finger marks on the little Emperor's face. She raised her head and looked forward.

However, she was stunned.

There was a pretty young lady who was standing beside the dragon bed staring at her expressionlessly.

The Emperor Dowager was surprised by Ye Qingtang's appearance and almost dropped the food in her hand.

"You…"

"Mother, this rabble just beat me in front of others. I told father about that. He did not help me but beat me instead. Mother, you need to stand up for me…" The little Emperor pointed at Ye Qingtang and complained towards the Emperor Dowager with tears.

The Emperor Dowager panicked for a second and then put up her calm expression. She sized up Ye Qingtang carefully and frowned slightly.

"Grand Emperor, what are you doing? Xuan is your only child. How dare you to beat him?" the Emperor Dowager said coldly as she looked at the Grand Emperor who was lying on the bed.

"You're the one who always spoils him, resulting in his disobedient attitude." The Grand Emperor stared at the Emperor Dowager and frowned.

He only married one person as his wife in his life.

"Disobedient? That's because you did not care for him at all. Did you once pay attention to him since he was born? You spent all your time looking for the person and cared for that woman. If I did not protect our son, how could he survive in this world." The Emperor Dowager scoffed and hugged the little Emperor. "He's just a kid. How disobedient can he be?"

The Grand Emperor felt blood rushing towards his chest. He wanted to educate the little Emperor in the past but was interrupted by the Emperor Dowager. He did not have the energy to educate him as he lay in bed all the time.

"Why did you let these rabbles in here?" The Emperor Dowager scanned through Ye Qingtang and the rest coldly.

"Long Jiang, what were you doing? How dare you to let these rabbles in to disturb the Grand Emperor when he is still ill? Are you planning to do something to the Grand Emperor?"

Long Jiang narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

He only served one person as his Master. It was his Master's order to protect the Emperor.

If not, why would he always protect the Grand Emperor and the little Emperor?

Ye Qingtang stared coldly at the Emperor Dowager. She was calling them rabbles all the time. Now, Ye Qingtang knew that where the little Emperor learned his vulgarities from.

"Don't be rude. This girl is her daughter…" The Grand Emperor gasped for air and said.

A trace of astonishment flashed across the Emperor Dowager's eyes. After studying Ye Qingtang's appearance, the astonishment was replaced by malice.

"It's her again… You have been thinking of her for more than a decade. Isn't it enough? Did she even appear in the past decade? If not for me… who else would look after you all the time?" The Emperor Dowager sneered and took a deep breath to suppress her anger. She put down the food in her hand onto the table.

"Today, you beat your own child for her daughter. Are you going to give the entire Nine Nights Dynasty to her daughter after a few years then?!"

"Shut up…" the Grand Emperor frowned.

Ye Qingtang did not say anything at the side. However, she sensed something from the conversations.

According to the rumors, the Grand Emperor had married the Empress when he was enthroned. Ye Qingtang's mother came to the Nine Nights Dynasty and assisted the Grand Emperor to secure his position.

It seemed that the Grand Emperor did not only feel gracious and admiring towards her mother…

The Grand Emperor did not adore any other woman in his life due to that special feeling. That was why he only had one Empress that he married earlier.

The Emperor Dowager must have sensed all these and was reconciled to accept the truth.

Ye Qingtang's sight landed on the food that the Emperor Dowager brought.

"I was saying nonsense? All these years when you lay on the bed, you did not care for your son at all but sent people to look for her daughter. You think that I don't know about that? As his father, your care towards him is even less than the premier Qin Long. Do you even feel sorry for us!" The Emperor Dowager released her anger at once.

"How dare you to mention Qin Long? If not because of him, how would the Nine Nights Dynasty end up like this now!" The Grand Emperor raged. His body that had just slightly recovered previously was shivering in anger.

The Emperor Dowager stared at the Grand Emperor. Her eyes were cold.

Suddenly…

"Emperor Dowager, it seems that you like Qin Long?" Ye Qingtang said slowly.

The Emperor Dowager frowned slightly and took a glimpse at Ye Qingtang. "How dare you to speak here, rabble."

Ye Qingtang glanced at the Emperor Dowager and said, "It's not your call to make whether I'm able to speak here. Aren't you the one who is stepping over the line when the Grand Emperor is here?"

The Emperor Dowager's eyes sparkled. The Grand Emperor's health was deteriorating every day. He did not even have the strength to get off the bed. She was in control of the whole palace, and she treated the Grand Emperor as a useless person.

Ye Qingtang waited for the Emperor Dowager's reaction and said, "It seems like you are in good relations with Qin Long. If not, why would you poison the Grand Emperor's food for him?"

Everyone in the bedroom was shocked after Ye Qingtang finished her words.

"How dare you to frame me! Men, drag this rabble down!" The Emperor Dowager stared at Ye Qingtang.

A few guards who followed her here dashed into the bedroom after the Emperor Dowager commanded.

"Do you think I'm a dead person here? How dare you touch her!" The Grand Emperor struggled to sit up.

The guards were stunned and did not dare to step forward.

"You were saying that… it's the Emperor Dowager who poisoned me in my food?" The Grand Emperor looked towards Ye Qingtang in disbelief.

"Grand Emperor, don't listen to this rabble's nonsense. Why would I poison you?" The Emperor Dowager said coldly.

Ye Qingtang took a bowl of porridge from the table and took a sniff.

"The rotting bone powder does not have any smell or color. Even a silver needle cannot detect its presence. I don't know how many good people have died under the Qin family because of this powder. I'm very curious. Did the Emperor Dowager get the rotting bone powder from Qin Long?"

802 Emperor Dowager 3

"Bullsh*t! I don't even know about the rotting bone powder!" The Emperor Dowager scoffed.

"How dare you to frame my mother, rabble! Mother only loves and cares for father. She brings food here every day. How dare you frame her!" The little Emperor shouted in anger.

Ye Qingtang did not bother with her quibble. She asked the Blood Moon Elder to bring a plant over.

Ye Qingtang then poured the porridge slowly onto the plant.

However, nothing happened to that charming flower.

A trace of sarcasm flashed across the Emperor Dowager's eyes.

"What else do you have to say?" She sneered.

"Wait." Ye Qingtang put down the empty bowl and then took a glass of sake.

A panic look flashed across the Emperor Dowager's eyes suddenly.

"I heard that the Grand Emperor likes to drink alcohol, especially the Qingyu sake from the Northern part's tribute, and that he takes a glass every day after his meal… Do you still have this habit in recent years?" Ye Qingtang looked towards the Grand Emperor and asked.

The Grand Emperor nodded.

The Qingyu sake was not what he loved but what she loved.

Now, the beauty was long gone…

He could only recall some moments when he took the Qingyu sake.

"It's always been like that." He responded.

Ye Qingtang lifted her hand and poured the Qingyu sake onto the plant.

The moment when sake landed on the petals, the bright flower suddenly lost its color and wilted in front of everyone.

"This…" A trace of astonishment flashed across the Grand Emperor's eyes, Though the Emperor Dowager was not his true love, he did not mistreat her after marrying her for more than a decade. He did not expect that…

She would be the one who poisoned him!

The Emperor Dowager closed her eyes slowly and sighed when she saw that the flower wilted.

"The rotting bone powder is a strong poison, but it hides in the body. It can only be triggered when you take the guiding drug along. Thus… even if someone suspects something, as long as one did not mix these two, one would never find out about the poison inside." Ye Qingtang held the empty glass and looked at the Emperor Dowager, whose face was pure.

"Emperor Dowager… why do you want to poison me." Pain filled the Grand Emperor's eyes. Though he did not love her, he treated her like his little sister all the time.

The Emperor Dowager opened her eyes and scoffed.

"Poison you? Are you the victim or I am the one!"

"Mother…" The little Emperor was shocked. He could never imagine that his most respected father would be poisoned by his own mother.

The Emperor Dowager did not hide anything since the truth was revealed.

"When you were enthroned and married with me back then, I thought that you would treat me with your true love. However… after you met that woman, you lost your soul, and your eyes could not contain anyone else. My most beautiful years were wasted in your hands… I am the victim! You confined me in this cold palace for my entire life."

The Grand Emperor stared at the Emperor Dowager with grievances.

"I asked about your opinion previously. If you were not willing to be my wife, I would send you out of the palace till you found a suitable one… It was you… who was not willing to leave…"

"Leave? Why? I am the mother of the country! The Empress of the Nine Nights Dynasty! Why would I leave the palace!" The Emperor Dowager scoffed.

"You…" The Grand Emperor stared at the Emperor Dowager in front of her. He remembered that when she just entered the palace, he treated her as his little sister as she was still young. However…

The little sister had such ambitions all the time.

803 Consequence of Your Own Sin 1

"Grand Emperor, you're useless now. My son is the Emperor of the Nine Nights Dynasty, and I'm the Emperor Dowager… the only Emperor Dowager." The Emperor Dowager squinted her eyes as her disguise was exposed.

She did not only want the Grand Emperor's love.

She wanted the supreme honor in the Nine Nights Dynasty.

"How dare you!!" Blood spurted out of the Grand Emperor's mouth as he shouted and raged.

"Long Jiang, get her!"

Long Jiang immediately dashed towards the Emperor Dowager.

The Emperor Dowager's eyes flickered. She raised her hand and threw the little Emperor in her arms towards Long Jiang.

Long Jiang immediately stepped back and held the little Emperor.

The little Emperor's eyes were full of disbelief when he was thrown out by the Emperor Dowager to defend herself.

The Emperor Dowager took out a copper bell in the gap.

She shook the bell.

Long Jiang's body shivered, and a pool of blood spurted out of his mouth in the next second.

"You poisoned me?!" Long Jiang staggered. A sharp pain came from his abdomen area. It was clear that there was a poisonous worm in his body.

The Emperor Dowager scoffed. "You are left here by that woman. How could I let go of you?"

The Emperor Dowager had planned everything a few years ago. It took her great effort to poison the Grand Emperor and Long Jiang.

"Long Jiang, how would I not guard against you when you are the strongest person in the Nine Nights Dynasty? You are alive now only because you could suppress Qin Long." The Emperor Dowager sneered. She raised her chin slightly and waved towards the guards behind her.

"Take down everyone here."

"Mother?!" The little Emperor stared at her mother, who was always kind to him, unbelievably.

The Emperor Dowager looked at the little Emperor and said, "Son, your father is dying soon. The Nine Nights Dynasty will be yours and mine in the future. The power we have here is unshakable if we are assisted by the Qin family. You are always my little daring. Come to me."

The Emperor Dowager then stretched out her hands towards the little Emperor.

The little Emperor's sight swept through the Grand Emperor and the Emperor Dowager as he struggled.

He kneeled down in front of the Emperor Dowager.

"Mother, please let go of father…"

A cold light appeared across the Emperor Dowager's eyes.

"Mother, please. I… I'd rather not have the position as the Emperor. I only want both of you by my side. Please… don't hurt father anymore…" As the little Emperor begged continuously, he knocked his head onto the ground.

His disobedience and mischief were just an act, an attempt of his to catch his father and mother's attention.

He would feel delighted even if his father scolded him.

However…

His mother was always busy and did not care for him.

His father rested in bed all the time, and his mother did not allow him to visit all the time.

"Useless! How would I give birth to such a useless person!" The Emperor Dowager's eyes were cold. She was still young, so she could still have another child even if she abandoned the little Emperor.

"If you can't choose the right side, don't blame me for being merciless." The last warmth in the Emperor Dowager faded as well.

"Mother…" The little Emperor opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Come, take him down as well," the Emperor Dowager said coldly. She would not need a disobedient child.

All the guards listened to the Emperor Dowager. They rushed forward once the Emperor Dowager commanded.

Qu Xiangyang's eyes flickered and pulled out his sword immediately.

However, another figure was even faster than him!

Ye Qingtang's figure was like a ghost that swept across the guards.

The guards all collapsed onto the ground instantly.

The Emperor Dowager was stunned. She looked toward Ye Qingtang as all the ten elite guards she brought were lying on the ground now.

Ye Qingtang immediately took a leap and landed behind the Emperor Dowager. The Demonic Blood Sword in her hand was placed on the Emperor Dowager's neck.

The arrogance in the Emperor Dowager was immediately replaced by astonishment.

"If you kill me here, none of you can leave here alive!" The Emperor Dowager pretended to be calm and said.

"Why is that so?" Ye Qingtang asked slowly.

The Emperor Dowager sneered. "I am cooperating with the Qin family. If there is no information from me that is sent to the Qin family, they will lead an army of a hundred thousand people here and enclose the palace. You will never be able to leave this place alive."

The Emperor Dowager had planned long ago for this day to arrive. She had the perfect backup plan for herself.

"Qin Long? I forgot to tell you something." Ye Qingtang stared at the Emperor Dowager without any trace of panic.

"What?" the Emperor Dowager said.

"Qin Long was dead just now," Ye Qingtang said calmly.

"What?! Qin Long is dead? How is that possible!" The Emperor Dowager was shocked.

Qu Xiangyang said, "Qin Long was killed by our Young Lord. Emperor Dowager… even if you die here today, no one will rebel."

The Emperor Dowager was stunned and then noticed the presence of Qu Xiangyang.

She remembered those who were left here by the woman clearly. She ordered Qin Long to murder those who blocked her way.

Today, it should have been the day Qu Xiangyang died.

However…

He was still alive and standing in front of her?

"You chose the wrong person on your last move," Ye Qingtang said slowly.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

The Emperor Dowager's face was filled with surprise, and she fell to the ground. The gracefulness on her face disappeared.

"How… how is it possible? How did Qin Long die?" She could not believe it. Her plans were totally destroyed?

The Emperor Dowager raised her eyes and looked at Ye Qingtang, who was holding the Demonic Blood Sword.

It was clear who the murderer of Qin Long was when Qu Xiangyang called her as the Young Lord.

"You! It's you! Both you and your mother are b*tches! You… you ruined me! I will never let you go even if I become a ghost!"

The Emperor Dowager's eyes were filled with craziness. She threw herself towards Ye Qingtang insanely.

Ye Qingtang kicked her towards the ground.

"Mother…" The little emperor immediately leaned himself beside the Emperor Dowager.

Though she wanted to kill him just now, she was still his mother.

"I lost… I totally lost…" The Emperor Dowager could feel the pain from her entire body as a result of the kick. A trace of malice appeared in her eyes as the little Emperor was trying to get her up nervously.

She suddenly stretched out her hands seized his neck.

"I will not give up so easily! The rotting bone powder has no cure. You are meant to die! He's your only son. If he dies, there will be chaos in the Nine Nights Dynasty. Hahaha… I will not lose! I need the entire Nine Nights Dynasty to die along with me!"

The little Emperor's face turned purple, and he stared at his ferocious mother. He could never imagine that his own mother would want to kill him.

805 Consequence of Your Own Sin 3

Puff!

A deep sound suddenly rang.

A sharp sword pierced through the Emperor Dowager's chest.

Ye Qingtang stared at the Emperor Dowager who was killed by her sword and pulled out her sword.

The force on the little Emperor's neck disappeared. He coughed violently and opened his eyes wide. The Emperor Dowager fell backward instantly, and the blood flew onto his body.

"Mother…" The little Emperor crawled towards the Emperor Dowager immediately. Large drops of tears fell onto the Emperor Dowager's body.

He stretched out his hand and covered the wound on the Emperor Dowager's chest. Warm blood spilled over his hand.

"Don't die… mother… please… please don't die…"

The Emperor Dowager's face was nearly expressionless. Blood stained her cheeks. She trembled and lifted her hand to reach for the little Emperor's neck…

However, she did not have the strength to seize his neck anymore.

The Emperor Dowager finished her last breath. Her twisted craziness and greed disappeared along with her life.

Perhaps, she once loved the Grand Emperor and the little Emperor.

However, her love could not beat her ambition and her hatred.

Eventually…

All of them ruined her entire life.

Greed could only kill one's conscience.

"Mother!!" The little Emperor shouted and cried as he lied on the Emperor Dowager's body.

He could not understand. He always listened to his mother's orders and Qin Long's command to be a fatuous emperor…

But why eventually…

He still lost his mother.

The Grand Emperor stared at the Emperor Dowager's corpse and closed his eyes slowly.

Whether it was hatred or guilt, nothing would matter anymore.

Blood spread out in the room slowly.

Ye Qingtang put back her Demonic Blood Sword and stared at everything happening in front of her eyes.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. She bent down and took the Emperor Dowager's space ring and opened it.

A batch of letters was taken out.

The words "Formidable Heavens Royals" were written on the letter.

"What… what is this?" The Grand Emperor looked through the letter in shock. The content really surprised him.

The letter was filled with the secret information of the Nine Nights Dynasty that the Emperor Dowager wanted to reveal to the Formidable Heavens Royals.

The arrangement of the armies at the borders and the secret paths in the palace were all written clearly inside.

Ye Qingtang understood what was going on after taking a glimpse at the letter.

She found the Emperor Dowager's words peculiar just now.

Why could she be so sure that the entire Nine Nights Dynasty would die along with her?

Ye Qingtang remembered the war between the Formidable Heavens Dynasty and the Nine Nights Dynasty in her previous life.

Though the Nine Nights Dynasty lost miserably, the Formidable Heavens Dynasty's victory was too easy.

Thus…

She was suspecting whether the Emperor Dowager did something.

"I did not expect that… she would be so vicious. She wanted to destroy the entire Nine Nights Dynasty…" The Grand Emperor sighed.

If the information was leaked, the Nine Nights Dynasty would definitely lose when the war began.

It was lucky that the key information about the Nine Nights Dynasty was not leaked to the Formidable Heavens Dynasty. The information seemed to be the final leverage in the Emperor Dowager's hands.

If Ye Qingtang did not discover the Emperor Dowager's ambition today, according to the progress in her previous life, the secrets would be passed to the Formidable Heavens Dynasty in a few years' time.

The Formidable Heavens Dynasty would then attack the Nine Nights Dynasty after knowing all the secrets!

806 A Kind Act 1

"The most vicious thing is a woman's heart. It seems that it's not an empty saying." The Grand Imperial Sire laughed bitterly.

He could understand why the Empress Dowager hated him.

Yet, she actually wanted to ruin the entire Nine Nights Dynasty…

Had she never thought of how innocent the Nine Nights Dynasty citizens were?

"The little Emperor is young, and it's difficult for him to preside over the political affairs. The Empress Dowager wished to use Qin Long to stabilize the current situation, yet she was also worried that Qin Long would end up usurping the throne. Thus, she made use of everything to seek a road out for herself." Ye Qingtang explained slowly. She must say that it was sorrowful that the Empress Dowager was so scheming.

She originally thought that the failure of the Nine Nights Dynasty was because of Qin Long, but unexpectedly… it was all a scheme by the Empress Dowager.

"Bring… her out. Bury her with the Empress Dowager rites." The Grand Imperial Sire shook his head helplessly. Not letting anyone else know about the incident today was the last thing he could do for the Empress Dowager.

From then on, no one would know about the Empress Dowager's actions.

She was still the dignified and graceful Empress Dowager in the people's hearts.

"Father…" The little Emperor looked at the Grand Imperial Sire with reddened eyes.

The Grand Imperial Sire called him to his side and touched his head remorsefully.

"Son, you are the Emperor of Nine Nights Dynasty. As the Emperor, you must be responsible for the safety of all Nine Nights Dynasty citizens. It's time you grow up…"

"Father… I… I was wrong…" The little Emperor wiped his tears away. No matter how insensible he was, everything that happened today forced him to mature quickly.

How could an Emperor stay innocent and ignorant?

"You should know that your mother's outcome today is a consequence of all her evildoings in the past. Do not hate others," the Grand Imperial Sire said worriedly.

The little Emperor nodded and turned to look at Ye Qingtang. He walked to Ye Qingtang's side with his short legs and bowed to her.

"I… I was insensible. Please forgive me, sister."

Looking at the little Emperor who seemed to mature a lot in a short moment, Ye Qingtang was not in the mood to fuss over the matter with him.

"It's alright."

The little Emperor stood there with tears trickling down. He wiped the tear stains at the corners of his eyes and did his best to maintain a firm gaze as he looked at the Grand Imperial Sire.

"Father, I will try very hard to become a good Emperor. I… I will never embarrass you again."

He no longer had his mother and could not lose another father.

The Grand Imperial Sire smiled in gratification.

Ye Qingtang looked at the Grand Imperial Sire. Deep down, she knew that with the elimination of the internal trouble, as long as the Grand Imperial Sire consumed that pill regularly, he would recover in no time, and the little Emperor would have someone to teach him.

It seemed that the little Emperor's fatuity and stubbornness were deliberately instilled in him by the Empress Dowager.

Only then would he be easier to control.

Ye Qingtang turned to look at Long Jiang, whose complexion was pale.

"Come over here. I'll help you to remove the Gu."

Long Jiang replied. "There's no need for the trouble, Young Lord. When I asked Her Lordship to mark the Vanquishing Dragon from Heaven back then, I was already determined and resolute. Once the Vanquishing Dragon from Heaven is used, I will not have many days left ahead. Even if I am poisoned with Gu, there's no big deal either. There's no need to trouble yourself, Young Lord."

Ye Qingtang raised a brow as she looked at Long Jiang who was only thinking about death. "Who said you don't have many days left?"

"This…"

Walking forward, Ye Qingtang locked Long Jiang's wrist and checked his pulse. A trace of a smile flashed across her eyes unconsciously.

Her mother was truly a kind person.

"Perhaps the Vanquishing Dragon from Heaven truly would reduce one's lifespan as you said but… my mother probably held back a trick or two and did not mark the true Vanquishing Dragon from Heaven on you, so… you don't need to worry about your lifespan."

If it was really a definite-kill move from the second mainland, how could she defeat Long Jiang so easily?

807 A Kind Act 2

Long Jiang had a complicated expression.

Back then, he knew of Her Lordship's heart to assist the Grand Imperial Sire and thought of helping her to fulfill her wish since she was going to leave.

Hence, he requested Her Lordship to mark the Vanquishing Dragon from Heaven before she left.

Yet, unexpectedly…

Ye Qingtang helped Long Jiang to remove the venomous insect. In her previous life, Perfected Xuanchen's skills decreased drastically after he was poisoned with Gu by Ye You, and he eventually died. As a result, Ye Qingtang studied a lot on the Gu from then on.

The Gu in Long Jiang's body was considered pretty powerful, but it was not a problem for her now.

The sky was already dark when everything was settled. Ye Qingtang originally decided to look for Master Du today but decided to postpone it to the next day since it was late.

The Grand Imperial Sire was more than glad and ordered some men to arrange a room for Ye Qingtang.

There were too many things involved in the Empress Dowager's incident.

The information delivered to the Formidable Heavens Dynasty was already a headache itself, but it was fortunate that some confidential secrets were still unexposed.

As there was a slight improvement in the Grand Imperial Sire's health, he gathered all his trusted subordinates in the court that night and the old troops left behind by Ye Qingtang's mother in preparation to reorganize the boundaries and areas of strategic importance.

Looking at the Grand Imperial Sire's spirit and enthusiasm, Ye Qingtang knew that he should be able to help Nine Nights Dynasty attempt a comeback and remodel this decadent dynasty, given his capability and the elimination of the concealed danger.

The tragic war between the two dynasties in her previous life could perhaps be avoided.

Even if there was a war again in this life, Nine Nights Dynasty would probably be able to retaliate unlike in her previous life.

Although she was delayed by a day, it was nothing much if it could allow Nine Nights Dynasty to avoid this calamity.

Although Ye Qingtang did not like being nosy, Nine Nights Dynasty was a place where her mother once stayed in after all.

The sky was dark, and Ye Qingtang fell into a slumber in the living quarters that the Grand Imperial Sire arranged for her.

The moonlight shone through the window and scattered on the wide bed that Ye Qingtang was sleeping peacefully on.

In the dark, the silver shadow transformed into a human figure without a sound.

Han Cangming stepped in the moonlight and slowly walked to Ye Qingtang's bedside. A trace of oddity emerged in his cold eyes as he looked at the girl who was asleep on the bed.

The little white tiger opened its eyes secretly, and its eyes flickered when he saw Han Cangming in his human form.

Han Cangming's eyes passed by Ye Qingtang's tightly-shut eyes and eventually landed on the jade pendant which she wore on her neck today.

There was a subtle change in his expression. Suddenly, he lifted his hand, and a black aura floated out from his palm. It gradually gathered on the ground and shaped into the form of a wolf.

Waving his hand, the black mist faded away, and a silver wolf that was exactly the same as Han Cangming's wolf form laid at where he was at originally.

However, that silver wolf's eyes were dull without the slightest bit of intelligence as it lay on the ground motionless.

Han Cangming made a tiny cut on his finger, and a drop of blood flew towards that silver wolf's glabella.

Then, the silver wolf's eyes brightened, and it rose from the ground. An intense murderous aura was entrenched on its body as it bared its fangs fiercely at all the living beings in the living quarters.

A trace of coldness flashed across Han Cangming's eyes, and killing intent surged out of him. The invisible killing intent was like a monster which swallowed the sun and moon, enveloping that ferocious silver wolf in it.

In just a moment, the silver wolf felt that boundless killing intent and instantly trembled in fear. Tucking its tail, it crouched down on the ground and let out a frightened whimper.

808 A Kind Act 3

"Stay with her." Han Cangming looked coldly at the silver wolf that was transformed using the killing intent around him.

Han Cangming could absorb the killing intent in the world, and his blood was full of killing intent. If he wanted to, he could separate some of the killing intent, which could then possess a certain level of consciousness once it condensed and took a form.

Just like this silver wolf before them.

"What the f*ck. You're going to leave already, but you still made this plaything to hog space." The little white tiger looked at the silver wolf which was transformed from killing intent.

Han Cangming cast the little white tiger a look.

The little white tiger snorted. "Hurry up and leave if you're leaving. Since you wish to help her find her mother's whereabouts, leave swiftly."

They were beside Ye Qingtang the whole time today and naturally could tell that Ye Qingtang had the intention of searching for her mother.

With Han Cangming wanting to leave now, what else could it be other than for this matter?

Han Cangming ignored the little white tiger's clamor and simply walked to Ye Qingtang's side. Looking at the ring on her finger, he drew out some spiritual energy from his glabella and injected it into the ring.

Ye Qingtang might not know where her mother went.

But Han Cangming knew.

Her mother had left this mainland over ten years ago.

If she wanted to find her, the only option was to head to the Central Mainland.

There was a complicated expression in Han Cangming's eyes as he looked at the girl who was sleeping soundly.

He had witnessed the girl grow stronger step by step, and she was never a weak person who needed to be protected under someone's wing.

Then, Han Cangming headed out of the living quarters, and his figure vanished in a flash.

"What the f*ck. He finally left." The little white tiger wiggled its ears as it watched Han Cangming leave before looking at the silver wolf that recovered slightly.

The silver wolf's gaze was slightly fiercer than before, but it took a look at the ring on Ye Qingtang's hand apprehensively. Afterward, the silver wolf automatically looked at the little white tiger at aside, and the ferocious expression emerged in its eyes once again.

A trace of coldness passed by the little white tiger's eyes, and an extremely overbearing aura poured out of its body.

The silver wolf was shocked to see the aura around the little white tiger, and it crouched on the ground in fear.

"What the f*ck. How dare you bare your fangs at me." The little white tiger snickered coldly with narrowed eyes.

The silver wolf sprawled on the ground, trembling. It was filled with grievances, yet it did not dare to move an inch.

The next morning, Ye Qingtang woke up from her slumber.

She seemed to be exceptionally deep in sleep last night.

She changed her clothes and put on her disguise once again before bringing the little white tiger and silver wolf out of the living quarters. It might be a misperception, but she felt that the silver wolf seemed a little strange today, and she did not know what was strange.

Its aura was clearly the same.

Feeling that she was perhaps overthinking, Ye Qingtang left the hall and was greeted by Long Jiang and the Blood Moon Elder, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time.

"The Grand Imperial Sire wanted me to hand this token to you." Long Jiang walked forward and handed a token to Ye Qingtang.

There was a lifelike dragon carved on the token.

"The Grand Imperial Sire bestowed this token to Her Lordship back then, and she returned it to him before she left. This token can command anyone of the Nine Nights Dynasty." Long Jiang explained slowly.

Ye Qingtang picked up the token and stored it in her space ring. "I still have some matters to settle and will take a leave first."

Then, she told the Blood Moon Elder. "Miss Ouyang can return first as well."

The Blood Moon Elder did not have any objections.

Looking at the clear and boundless sky, Ye Qingtang immediately set off to the Bliss Forging Workshop.

Although Ye Qingtang's cultivation base was already at half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, it was far from sufficient.

Not mentioning the skills of the Peerless School, there was still a threat from the Central Mainland.

Currently, the Dimension Wall was already broken, and this mainland would probably face a calamity sometime soon.

The only thing Ye Qingtang could do now was to raise her martial skills rapidly.

On this mainland, there were no other destinies for her to advance to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord state rapidly apart from the Dragon Vein.

After a while, Ye Qingtang arrived at the Bliss Forging Workshop.

As in the past, there were still many visitors, including the Nine Nights Dynasty royals, at the Bliss Forging Workshop

Ye Qingtang passed through the crowd with the silver wolf and the little white tiger and entered the Bliss Forging Workshop rapidly.

"Young Sir Ye, you're here!"

Du Sheng was stunned to see Ye Qingtang and hurriedly received her.

Ye Qingtang nodded and said, "I'm here to look for Master Du."

Hearing that, Du Sheng immediately chased away everyone who came to visit the Bliss Forging Workshop and closed the door.

"Master has ordered that as long as Young Sir Ye comes, everyone is to be chased away, and he will only attend to Young Sir Ye." Du Sheng smiled.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

Then, Ye Qingtang was led into the inner hall by Du Sheng.

Master Du was forging a weapon in the hall at this moment.

"Master, Young Sir Ye is here!" Du Sheng announced.

Master Du hurriedly looked in Ye Qingtang's direction and was brimming with smiles upon seeing that it was indeed Ye Qingtang. He stood up immediately and said, "Young Sir Ye, you really made me wait for a long time."

He had been too impatient to wait for the Dragon Vein. However, it was impossible for him to enter the Dragon Vein without Ye Qingtang.

"Master Du, is the weapon that I asked you to forge complete?" Ye Qingtang asked with a smile.

"Mhm. It's already forged. Wait for me for a moment," Master Du said and left.

After a while, Master Du returned with a long, black sword that seemed as though it was dyed with ink.

"Black-grade…"

Ye Qingtang was in thought as she stared at the long sword.

In this world, all Dharma treasures and weapons were divided into four grades, namely Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.

A yellow-grade weapon could not be compared to a black-grade weapon in any aspect.

"This sword is forged according to the prototype of the ancient sword, Regicide Sky Blade. Although it's an imitation, it is extremely powerful and is a leader amongst the black-grade weapons," Master Du said rather proudly.

"Regicide Sky Blade…"

Ye Qingtang mumbled.

The Regicide Sky Blade was said to be a heaven-grade weapon from the ancient era, and there were no traces of it presently.

"Thank you for your effort, Master Du." Ye Qingtang smiled as she looked at the black-grade weapon in satisfaction.

After all, it was made from the Millennium Meteoric Iron. With Master Du's craft on top, it would definitely be good.

After keeping the long sword, Ye Qingtang retrieved a few kilograms of meteoric iron and said, "Master Du, this is your remuneration."

However, Master Du waved his hand and said, "Brother Ye Chen, you're treating me as a stranger like this. With our relation, there's no need for any remuneration."

Ye Qingtang was rather speechless. It seemed that Master Du was determined to make her go to the Dragon Vein with him.

"Brother Ye Chen, how are you considering the matter regarding the Dragon Vein?" Master Du asked with a grin.

"You will decide on the time." Ye Qingtang replied.

Upon hearing that, Master Du was slightly stunned and had a look of surprise.

He originally thought that he still needed to convince her.

Unexpectedly…

Ye Qingtang agreed just like this.

"Great. Brother Ye Chen is indeed a straightforward person." After gaining Ye Qingtang's agreement, Master Du chuckled as his eyes twinkled with excitement.

The trip to the Dragon Vein which he had been planning for over ten years could finally be realized today…

"However, we still have to make a good plan." Master Du sighed before saying with a serious expression.

Ye Qingtang was not in a hurry over that.

In these two days, Ye Qingtang remained in the Bliss Forging Workshop and discussed the details of the plan with Master Du.

However, Ye Qingtang realized that the little white tiger disappeared from the Bliss Forging Workshop unknowingly. She searched for a long time but still could not find it, and only a silver wolf with ferocious eyes remained.

What is wrong with Xiao Guai recently?!

…

The same time at the northern mainland.

Screams and roars of demonic beasts echoed in an ethereal valley.

"What the f*ck. Get the hell away. I'll pull out your skin if you make a noise again!" The little white tiger hollered angrily.

Along with the little white tiger's roar, the valley fell into a dead silence.

"What the f*ck. You're only coming now…"

The little white tiger mumbled and sprinted towards the valley ahead.

Thousands of meters away in a thatched house by a stream.

A gray-haired elderly was holding onto a fishing rod and fishing by the stream.

"What the f*ck… Grandson, grandfather is here!" The little white tiger shouted at the white-bearded elderly who was fishing by the stream.

"Hush… Keep quiet." The white-bearded elderly looked at the little white tiger and shook his head, instructing the little white tiger to not make so much noise.

The moment he finished speaking, the white-bearded elderly flicked his wrist and lifted the fishing rod immediately, pulling a patterned fish out from the stream.

With a face full of smiles, the white-bearded elderly removed the fish from the fishing rod and handed it to the little white tiger. "It's been a long time. Meeting gift."

"What the f*ck… Meeting gift?" The little white tiger stared at the patterned fish which was still alive and flopping about at its feet. "Are… are you serious?"

"Why? You don't like it?" The white-bearded elderly chuckled. "This fish is called Jue Li. It's materialized by the condensation of the Heavenly Cycle and is a condensation of a certain energy body."

The little white tiger was stunned after hearing the white-bearded elderly and immediately swallowed the patterned fish without uttering a word further.

"What the f*ck. Why are you so polite… We are so familiar already. Why did you give me such an expensive present…" After consuming the patterned fish, it evidently felt the energy in its body increase extensively, giving it the capital to save its life.

The white-bearded elderly did not respond and stood up to store his fishing rod away.

"What the f*ck… This is strange. Are you human or not?" The little white tiger sized up the white-bearded elderly curiously.

"Why did you say that?" The white-bearded elderly sat down once again and asked with a smile.

"I've never seen anyone who can live for as long as you…" The little white tiger muttered.

Not long after it was born, it was acquainted with this white-bearded elderly. It had lived for thousands of years, yet this white-bearded elderly was still not dead.

"It does not matter how long one lives… Rather, has what I once told you about come true?" The white-bearded elderly looked at the little white tiger meaningfully.

Immediately, the little white tiger's expression turned slightly solemn as it replied. "Your words indeed came true… That lady…"

"To save your father, your mother… your clan, you can only rely on her. However, she cannot do without your help in death tribulations after death tribulations," the white-bearded elderly said with a smile.

811 Blade 3

The little white tiger seemed to be in thought after listening to the white-bearded elderly's words.

"My parents…"

A cold glint twinkled in the little white tiger's eyes before a sense of loss filled his eyes right after. Subsequently, it turned into reverence and fear.

A presence which suppressed its entire clan was overly huge and scary, and the little white tiger was enveloped in terror every time it thought of it.

If not for the fact that its parents risked their lives to let it escape, its ending…

That presence was at a height that even Fiendcelestial Beasts could not reach.

Very quickly, the little white tiger restrained its emotions and looked at the white-bearded elderly, whose expression was calm. "Is what you said true?"

"What do you think?" The white-bearded elderly chuckled.

"What the f*ck. You're really magical… I claim that there's nothing I am unaware of, but you can tell the future. Have you heard that in this world, everything has its own destiny?" the little white tiger said.

"Destiny?" The elderly ran his fingers through his white beard and laughed lightly. "The so-called destiny is just empty talk. There's nothing that cannot be changed."

The little white tiger shook its head.

When it first met the white-bearded elderly thousands of years ago, he had already predicted what would happen to this day.

The little white tiger did not believe him originally, but looking at it now, he was truly magical.

"The current situation is a little complicated… That lady and the Demon God keep repeating the Heavenly Emperor's route… There's also a guide … I'm afraid I cannot prevent anything." The little white tiger sighed after a long while.

The white-bearded elderly smiled. "You just need to do your best in blocking these death tribulations."

Afterward, the white-bearded elderly looked up in the air and said, "Remember, nothing is destined. Anything that is destined is only so because the party involved has no ability to change it."

"How I wish to reveal the truth entirely." The little white tiger yawned.

The white-bearded elderly shook his head. "Some things still require the parties involved to explore and understand. If others explain entirely, it will definitely backfire and be self-defeating. Perhaps, it is impossible for death tribulations to be avoided, and even I have no means of changing it."

"What the f*ck. So troublesome." The little white tiger sighed. Swinging its tail, it stood up and headed out of the valley. "I'm leaving. I'm afraid that she will be sad and cry when she can't find me."

The white-bearded elderly chuckled. Subsequently, his entire body became increasingly transparent until it turned into nothingness.

…

The night before Ye Qingtang and Master Du planned to head to the Dragon Vein, the little white tiger finally returned to the workshop.

The silver wolf glared at the little white tiger fiercely and bared its fangs.

"What the f*ck. I'll dig your eyeballs out if you look at me again!" The little white tiger barked.

As the little white tiger spoke, the silver wolf immediately turned its neck away and looked at another direction.

At that moment, Ye Qingtang looked at the little white tiger and snickered. "Tell me. Where did you run off to?"

"I went to meet a great figure." The little white tiger replied.

"Great figure? Which great figure?" Ye Qingtang went blank.

"I don't know his name," the little white tiger said after thinking.

"…"

No matter what, it was good that the little white tiger could return. Ye Qingtang was not bothered with it running away from home once in a while. Anyway, the silver wolf ran away from home frequently…

Before long, Ye Qingtang returned to her room to rest after finalizing the plan and deciding the time to head to the Dragon Vein with Master Du.

The little white tiger yawned and walked to the silver wolf's side casually.

"Get lost." Seeing that the silver wolf was so tactless, the little white tiger slapped the silver wolf several meters away and seized the silver wolf's nest completely.

812 Shameless 1

Late in the night, the little white tiger snored and was in deep sleep.

At the same time, black mist emerged out of Ye Qingtang's chest and subsequently formed into the shape of a ball.

With a swoosh, the little black ball vanished from the room and was already outside the hall when it appeared once again.

"Arh-wooo!"

Suddenly, the silver wolf noticed the little ball of black mist which was floating in the air and bared its fangs immediately. It scowled at the little black ball evilly with a fierce expression.

"What are you looking at? I'll dig your eyeballs out if you look at me again." The little black ball threatened with a baby voice.

"ARH-WOOOOOO!"

Upon hearing that, the silver wolf was enraged instantly. It had been threatened twice with the same thing.

In a flash, the silver wolf lunged towards the little black ball in the air.

"Get lost!" The little black ball shouted and was not seen to do anything, but the silver wolf was hurled away.

The silver wolf wailed and laid outside the door with its tail tucked.

The silver wolf finally gained consciousness after much difficulty, but it felt that its life was full of grievances…

A while later, the little black ball floated to the little white tiger's front and stared at it for a long time.

Before long, a cold glint shone in the little black ball's eyes, and it pounced on the little white tiger immediately.

"Roar!"

At the same time, the little white tiger roared thunderously. Its body enlarged rapidly, and it swung its paw at the little black ball.

Boom!

An explosive sound rang. After exchanging a blow, the white tiger and little black both retreated at the same time.

"Don't provoke me." The handsome and huge tiger roared coldly as its icy gaze landed on the little black ball in the air.

A look of surprise emerged in the little black ball's bright eyes, and it sized up the white tiger. "You're all to blame for making my would-be father leave in a fit of pique!"

"Would-be father. Who is your would-be father?" the white tiger said coldly.

"Demon God!" The little black ball replied angrily.

"Oh? It's the Demon God, Han Cangming?" The white tiger sneered upon hearing that. "What has his departure got to do with me?"

"Hmph. Don't be in the way and interfere with my would-be father and my mother!" The little black ball scorned.

"In the way…" The white tiger nodded and continued. "I really am in your way… I will keep being in the way for this matter. What can you do about me?"

"I'm so mad!" The little black ball glared at the white tiger fiercely. A frightening aura exploded out of it, and it charged towards the white tiger immediately.

"Get lost!"

The white tiger's eyes flickered. Its furious holler was like thunder as it slapped its paw down at the little black ball.

Boom Boom!!

Explosive sounds rang continuously, and the entire Bliss Forging Workshop was torn apart by the fight between the white tiger and the little black ball.

"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking of." The little black ball glared at the white tiger with a raging fury.

"I'll return this sentence back to you, word for word… Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking of too." The white tiger snickered.

Before waiting for the little black ball to say anything, Ye Qingtang suddenly appeared at the scene. The little black ball masked itself in the darkness almost instantly and dashed into the inner hall.

Ye Qingtang frowned deeply at the sight of the crumbling outer hall. She looked at the enlarged white tiger and then at the silver wolf which was curled up in a corner.

Looking at the scene, it was evident that the white tiger went berserk all of a sudden.

"Mother~"

Just as Ye Qingtang was frowning, a soft voice suddenly came from the bedroom. The little black ball which shuttled back into the bedroom earlier on directly seized the little lightning dragon's body. Rubbing its sleepy eyes, it ran to Ye Qingtang's side with tiny steps.

"Mother…" The little dragon man clutched onto the edge of Ye Qingtang's clothes and glanced at the haphazard place. It frowned immediately and swept a look at the white tiger before looking at Ye Qingtang. "Mother, that is not a good thing. Look, it made this place into a mess."

The white tiger looked at the little dragon man who had no sense of shame. "You are a good thing."

Ye Qingtang rubbed its temples vexedly.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"Why are you making a din at night?"

Could it be that it was provoked when it ran out of the house?

"What the f*ck. What has it got to do with me? It's clearly this fellow who fought with me." The white tiger complained with dissatisfaction and shot a glare at the little dragon man who hid beside Ye Qingtang.

"It fought with you?" Ye Qingtang raised a brow slightly and turned around to look at the pitiful little dragon man.

"Mother, it maligned me… I clearly just woke up." The little dragon man blinked its eyes innocently.

"What the f*ck. You still have the face to say that?" The white tiger blew its beard in anger and swept a look at the silver wolf which hid in the corner. It raised its front paw and pointed at the silver wolf. "Come here. Did it hit me just now?"

Don't think that you don't need to own up to your own fault after changing a shell!

Aggrieved, the silver wolf looked at the fierce white tiger and then at the little dragon man, who pretended to be pitiful though its eyes were filled with threat in reality.

"…"

What sin did he commit!

Then, the silver wolf lower its head and buried it between its two front paws.

It was an "I'm a wolf, I don't understand what you all are talking about" manner.

The white tiger narrowed its eyes and was about to drag the silver wolf over to testify for him.

Before it could take a step.

Ye Qingtang tugged its fur directly.

"Are you done? You made a din here at night already. Can you stop for a while?"

"What the f*ck. You don't believe me?!" The white tiger looked at Ye Qingtang's speechless expression and was so close to slapping the little dragon man to death.

"Believe you? Believe that you snatched Xiao Guai's nest?" Ye Qingtang glimpsed downwards.

The white tiger then realized that one of its back paws was still stepping on the wolf nest that it snatched from the silver wolf.

"What… What the f*ck… This is its present as a form of respect to me." The white tiger spoke uprightly.

The silver wolf which hid in the corner looked up wrongfully.

Ye Qingtang felt helpless when she saw the silver wolf's aggrieved behavior.

For some reason, Xiao Guai had been a little strange these few days. It was never bullied by the little white tiger on usual days, but why was it now…

"Alright. It's late. Go to sleep." Ye Qingtang did not intend to argue with the white tiger anymore and carried the little dragon man back into the bedroom.

She still had to find an excuse to explain to Master Du about… the entire mess in this room tomorrow.

The white tiger glared at the little dragon man in Ye Qingtang's arms. Watching the little dragon man make a face at it, the white tiger ripped the wolf nest apart in fury.

"What the f*ck! How dare you

The little dragon man raised its eyebrows proudly and laid on Ye Qingtang's shoulder comfortably with a provocative expression.

The white tiger clenched its teeth and snorted!

"I'm so pissed!"

814 Shameless 3

The next morning, Master Du looked at the torn Bliss Forging Workshop in surprise. What happened?

Ye Qingtang notified Master Du of the incident apologetically.

Master Du chuckled and was not too bothered.

"Brother Ye Chen, the Dharma artifact that I forged for Perfected Xuanchen still requires the blessing of your Extraordinary Flame."

Master Du told Ye Qingtang as they walked into the inner hall of the workshop.

Upon hearing that, Ye Qingtang nodded. She naturally knew that Master Du was forging a weapon for Perfected Xuanchen. However, it was made with Millennium Meteoric Iron, which needed to be refined with Extraordinary Flame; otherwise, it would be hard to be forged.

Ye Qingtang flicked her wrist immediately, and a streak of golden flames flew into the workshop.

About two hours later, Master Du retrieved the item and cooled it with ice water.

Looking at the finished good, Master Du beamed and said, "Brother Ye Chen's extraordinary flame is indeed special. If it's any other ordinary flame, I'm afraid it'll need at least three days' time for it to form."

Using Ye Qingtang's Extraordinary Flame, the time was shortened to two hours, which showed the uniqueness of the golden flame evidently.

"Brother Ye Chen, you can stay in the Bliss Forging Workshop for another half a day. I'll make a trip to Falling Sky Valley and hand this item to Perfected Xuanchen," Master Du said.

Master Du originally wanted Du Sheng to deliver the item, but this Dharma artifact was too valuable. Apart from the large amounts of Millennium Meteoric Iron from Ye Qingtang, there were other extremely precious materials. For safety reasons, Master Du eventually decided to deliver it personally.

Ye Qingtang pondered for a moment and replied. "There's no trouble. You can hand this item to me. I can bid farewell to Master as well."

After hearing Ye Qingtang's words, Master Du nodded and placed the Dharma artifact into a wooden box, which he handed to Ye Qingtang afterward.

Ye Qingtang received the Dharma artifact and left the Bliss Forging Workshop.

In no time, Ye Qingtang was back in Falling Sky Valley.

In the main hall of Falling Sky Valley, Perfected Xuanchen was seated in the central position as he reviewed a stack of files on the table, seeming to be settling some matters in the valley.

Looking at Perfected Xuanchen's ever-familiar figure, Ye Qingtang's lips curled up involuntarily.

In her previous life, before Perfected Xuanchen became the acting Valley Master, he was even more powerful than other Peak Masters and feared nothing. More than that, he was known for being protective, and almost no one was willing to offend the Admirable Sky Peak which Perfected Xuanchen was in charge of.

However, after the Valley Master was severely injured by the Peerless School wardens and Perfected Xuanchen took over the Valley Master position temporarily, he was much more restrained.

With harmony as a priority, all he thought of was to fulfill the responsibilities of this position and ensure the safety of the entire valley.

Currently, Perfected Xuanchen was no longer the Peak Master of a Falling Sky Valley peak but the Valley Master of the entire valley, and his responsibilities were no longer limited to a peak.

Looking at Perfected Xuanchen's haggard expression, Ye Qingtang felt upset for some reason.

In her previous life, Perfected Xuanchen rescued her from her misery and never fussed over her spirit root or natural gift. He allowed her to be apprenticed to him to cultivate diligently and even took care of her as though she was his daughter.

At the start, Perfected Xuanchen was stricter with Ye Qingtang than with other disciples, causing her to think that he had never put his heart on her.

815 Master 1

However, Ye Qingtang could still vividly remember what Perfected Xuanchen told her before he died: she had no spirit root, and her martial gift was too weak. As such, only by working one hundred or even one thousand times harder than others and becoming even more powerful than others would there not be anyone who would dare to bully her again…

In her previous life, Ye Qingtang cultivated by Perfected Xuanchen's side. Her foster father had already died then, and in that homeless and miserable situation, she was accepted as a disciple under Perfected Xuanchen, and she treated him as her father over the years.

The tired-looking Perfected Xuanchen before her eyes no longer seemed to be the mighty person from before and was instead a worn senior who only wanted to protect Falling Sky Valley's safety.

"Master…"

A long time later, Ye Qingtang could not stop herself from calling Perfected Xuanchen.

Perfected Xuanchen was fully concentrated on reviewing the files and did not even notice that Ye Qingtang entered the hall.

It was only after Ye Qingtang called him did he look up in her direction instinctively.

"You're here." Perfected Xuanchen rubbed his tired eyes and said.

Then, Ye Qingtang headed into the hall and looked at the files on the table. "Master, have you been reviewing the files for the whole night?"

Perfected Xuanchen smiled faintly. "Your Eldest Senior Brother, Gu Yihan, is still not experienced enough, and I can only settle these urgent files myself."

"Master, you should pay attention to your health and rest more. Do not over-exhaust yourself. You can let Eldest Senior Brother shadow you so as to learn and be able to handle all these miscellaneous matters in the valley," Ye Qingtang said with a frown.

After hearing Ye Qingtang's words and looking at her expression, Perfected Xuanchen was slightly taken aback. For some reason, perhaps a wrong impression, Ye Qingtang cared for him like a son would for his father.

At that instant, Perfected Xuanchen suddenly thought of his daughter who died ten years ago…

"Ye Chen, there's no harm. I am still very young, aren't I?" Perfected Xuanchen placed the documents down and chuckled.

Ye Qingtang walked to his side as he spoke and took the initiative to grind ink while handing a brush to him.

Noticing it, Perfected Xuanchen shook his head with a smile.

Although this disciple of his became his disciple not long ago, he always felt that there was an inexplicable intimacy for some reason, as though the two of them had known each other for a long time.

Ye Qingtang was grinding ink for Perfected Xuanchen while Perfected Xuanchen was focused on reviewing the files, and he chatted with Ye Qingtang from time to time.

"Chen, where are your parents?" Perfected Xuanchen asked suddenly. This was the first time he called her this name, which perhaps was an involuntary reaction due to that trace of intimacy.

Ye Qingtang's expression changed after hearing that.

On this mainland, Ye Qingtang only had one foster father, and she was unaware of her birth parents.

She only had a brief clue that her mother was perhaps that lady who once appeared in Nine Nights Dynasty…

As for why she appeared in the Ye family, the origins of her mother, and name of her father, Ye Qingtang did not know anything about them.

"I only have one foster father." Ye Qingtang replied honestly after a long time.

"Foster father?" Perfected Xuanchen looked at Ye Qingtang meaningfully.

"Master, actually, 'sea of clouds at Mount Qin' is merely an excuse," Ye Qingtang said.

To Perfected Xuanchen, Ye Qingtang did not wish to utter a single lie.

816 Master 2

"I know," Perfected Xuanchen said.

"You know?" A look of surprise could be seen on Ye Qingtang's face.

"Chen, everyone says that there's a sea of clouds at Mount Qin on this mainland. When I was young, I've been on that road once to pay a visit to the historical site and search for the whereabouts of the sea of clouds at Mount Qin. However, the sea of clouds was the end, and there was no Mount Qin to be seen." Perfected Xuanchen looked at Ye Qingtang and smiled.

Ye Qingtang did not know whether the sea of clouds at Mount Qin existed in this mainland, but she never thought that Perfected Xuanchen had actually walked to the end of the sea of clouds…

…

Perfected Xuanchen never married anyone, and others knew that he was devoted to martial cultivation.

However, no one knew that he once liked someone as well; that person was his little junior sister, and both of them were in love with each other.

His little junior sister carried his child, and he originally intended to marry her. Yet, unexpectedly…

Life was unpredictable. On the day of his little junior sister's day of labor, she died of difficult labor and only left a daughter behind…

From then on, Perfected Xuanchen never had any interest in any girls and was fully focused on martial cultivation as well as raising his daughter.

Ten years ago, Perfected Xuanchen's only daughter was severely injured, and even the most skilled physicians on this mainland were unable to treat her.

As the last ray of hope, Perfected Xuanchen wanted to search for the sea of clouds at Mount Qin to look for the powerful ancient clans which concealed themselves from the world. Even if it meant risking his life, he still wished to plead for a mythical medicine from the ancient clan to save his daughter.

However…

After Perfected Xuanchen found the sea of clouds, he realized that it was already the end and that there was no Mount Qin on this world at all. Everything was merely a beautiful legend.

"So why… did you not expose me back then?" Ye Qingtang had a strange expression.

"Expose you?" Perfected Xuanchen seemed to be even more surprised than Ye Qingtang. "You are my disciple. Why would I want to expose you?"

Looking at Perfected Xuanchen's strictness, Ye Qingtang suddenly laughed from the bottom of her heart.

"Master, please."

In the next second, Ye Qingtang had finished grinding ink for Perfected Xuanchen and said with a smile.

Shaking his head rather helplessly, Perfected Xuanchen dipped the brush in the ink and continued reviewing the files.

Master went to the sea of clouds at Mount Qin to search for the hidden ancient clans… probably for his only daughter…

Ye Qingtang pondered in her heart as she watched Perfected Xuanchen concentrate on reviewing the files.

Although Ye Qingtang never heard Perfected Xuanchen mentioning this matter in her previous life, she heard about it from Gu Yihan.

Perfected Xuanchen's only daughter was born by his love and was named as Xuan Yue.

Ten years ago, Xuan Yue was claimed to be the number one beauty in Nine Nights Dynasty. She was only sixteen then, but her appearance was already stunning.

Yet, it was her good looks that a Peerless School disciple took a fancy on, and he tried courting her many times.

However, that Peerless School disciple had a notorious reputation, liked toying with females the most, and was even a regular of brothels. Thus, naturally, Xuan Yue would not agree.

Ultimately, that Peerless School disciple suppressed Xuan Yue with his martial skills before toying with and humiliating her.

Once Perfected Xuanchen found Xuan Yue, she was already heavily injured, both physically and mentally, and was also pregnant…

Although Perfected Xuanchen used his internal energy and many healing medicines to extend Xuan Yue's life, she eventually died when Perfected Xuanchen was heading to the sea of clouds at Mount Qin along with that unborn baby.

817 Master 3

Then, the Peerless School was already a supreme force, and Perfected Xuanchen was a Peak Master of Falling Sky Valley. Although he wanted to destroy the Peerless School indiscriminately, he was worried for the lives of the peak's disciples and eventually chose to endure it tearfully.

Otherwise, once Perfected Xuanchen attacked the Peerless School disciples, not to mention Perfected Xuanchen's peak, the entire Falling Sky Valley would encounter a calamity.

Master… I will definitely… take your revenge for you. Ye Qingtang thought as she looked at Perfected Xuanchen beside her.

Not long later, Ye Qingtang realized that Perfected Xuanchen was leaning against the chair and had fallen asleep.

Ye Qingtang placed the wooden case that Master Du handed to her aside. She took out a set of clothes from her space ring and gently placed it on Perfected Xuanchen.

"Master, I'll take my leave."

In terms of worries, she was worried about the Ye family and fellow disciples in Xuanling Sect.

And so were the fellow disciples in Falling Sky Valley and Perfected Xuanchen…

Ye Qingtang retreated from the main hall and bowed to Perfected Xuanchen before turning around and leaving the hall.

"Ye Chen?!"

Xuanyuan Lie had just returned to Falling Sky Valley and was surprised to see Ye Qingtang leaving the valley with big strides.

A Full Moon Peak disciple beside Xuanyuan Lie saw Ye Qingtang and said hurriedly, "Senior Brother Xuanyuan, in my opinion, it's impossible for that fellow to be from the sea of clouds at Mount Qin. Otherwise, how would he enter our Falling Sky Valley… Look at him. He is so anxious to leave. It must be because he knew that he caused big trouble and wants to leave!"

Upon hearing that, Xuanyuan Lie seemed to be in thought and frowned slightly, but a glint twinkled in his eyes.

That day, he never understood why the Peerless School disciple and his grandfather would react that way when Ye Qingtang mentioned "sea of clouds at Mount Qin".

When he returned to Full Moon Peak that night, his grandfather told him about the rumors regarding the hidden clans and the sea of clouds at Mount Qin.

"Senior Brother Xuanyuan, think about it. If that fellow is really a hidden clan from the sea of clouds at Mount Qin, how is it possible for him to come to the Falling Sky Valley to cultivate? The hidden clan at the sea of clouds at Mount Qin is so powerful…"

The Full Moon Peak disciple beside Xuanyuan Lie grumbled again.

Xuanyuan Lie nodded immediately. He naturally understood what this Full Moon Peak disciple said.

Even his grandfather, the Peak Master of Full Moon Peak, was extremely suspicious of Ye Qingtang's identity as a member of the hidden clan.

So be it if Ye Qingtang was really from the hidden clan in the sea of clouds at Mount Qin.

But if not…

There was no way they would let go of the fact that Ye Qingtang offended the Peerless School.

Moreover, his grandfather had already ordered him to pay attention to Ye Qingtang's movements all the time to prevent her from escaping from Falling Sky Valley as they investigated her identity!

"Zhou Tai, go to Full Moon Peak immediately and invite the Peak Master to come out. I'll follow Ye Chen." Xuanyuan Lie's eyes twinkled as he watched Ye Qingtang leave.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother Xuanyuan." Zhou Tai spun around immediately and rushed towards Full Moon Peak.

Then, Xuanyuan Lie used his primordial qi and flew into the air, chasing after Ye Qingtang.

…

At this moment, Ye Qingtang had already left Falling Sky Valley. She stopped in her tracks after coming down from the mountain as she gazed into the sky casually.

With Ye Qingtang's knowledge and perception, she had already sensed that someone was following her secretly, but… who exactly was that?

Then, Ye Qingtang vanished with a flash, and there was no trace of her.

"Oh… I'm discovered." Xuanyuan Lie scoffed immediately when he saw that Ye Qingtang disappeared without a trace, and he slowly descended from the sky.

"Ye Chen, do you really think that you can escape?!"

Xuanyuan Lie's face was extremely dark.

However, laughter suddenly sounded from a dark corner right after he spoke.

"Who's there?" Xuanyuan Lie frowned and shouted coldly.

"Xuanyuan Lie, are you looking for me?"

Ye Qingtang slowly walked out from the dark corner as she looked at Xuanyuan Lie indifferently.

"Ye Chen?!"

Xuanyuan Lie was slightly stunned when he saw Ye Qingtang.

Almost in a flash, Xuanyuan Lie's expression darkened to an extreme.

Ye Qingtang did that on purpose just now with an aim of leading him to reveal himself!

"It's me." Ye Qingtang studied Xuanyuan Lie and snickered. "I was wondering which sacred existence was following me, but never have I thought that it's a little trash fish."

"Little trash fish…" A murderous intent emerged in Xuanyuan Lie's eyes immediately after hearing Ye Qingtang's words.

He, Xuanyuan Lie, was the number one talent in the younger generation of Falling Sky Valley. He was unparalleled among the Falling Sky Valley disciples, yet he was actually called a little trash fish by Ye Qingtang…

"Ye Chen, you're really bold… Do you think that you have the right to speak to me on the same level just because you can defeat two outer sect disciples who just joined Peerless School?" Xuanyuan Lie's lips tugged up slightly, and a martial aura filled the air instantly.

"Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three…" Ye Qingtang looked at Xuanyuan Lie thoughtfully.

It was understandable why Xuanyuan Lie was known as the number one talent in Falling Sky Valley as he already entered the Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three despite his young age.

In her previous life, when she entered Falling Sky Valley, prodigies like Xuanyuan Lie were hard to be seen on usual days.

However, after her rebirth, such prodigies were no different from ants in her eyes.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Lie looked at Ye Qingtang and scoffed. "You must not be clear of my cultivation base."

Those two outer sect disciples who just entered the Peerless School were merely at the early-stage of Martial Qi Level Three while Xuanyuan Lie had already entered the late-stage of Martial Qi Level Three. In a few more years, he would have the chance of attempting to advance to a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

He treated those two Peerless School people so solicitously not because of their skills but because they were disciples of the Peerless School.

"I am indeed not clear." Ye Qingtang laughed.

"Oh… interesting. Things have reached this stage, and you still can laugh… So, are you ignorant or arrogant?" Xuanyuan Lie said coldly to Ye Qingtang.

"Xuanyuan Lie, what has your cultivation skills got to do with me? By blocking me, could it be that you want to show me the skills of your late-stage of Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three?" Ye Qingtang could not help but joke.

Xuanyuan Lie was taken aback after hearing Ye Qingtang's words and frowned unconsciously.

Ye Qingtang was Perfected Xuanchen's disciple, and even if she had left the valley, he did not seem to have any reasons to attack her either…

"Humph." Then, Xuanyuan Lie kept all his martial aura back and shot a cold look at Ye Qingtang. "Ye Chen, you have offended two outer sect disciples of the Peerless School and have committed a serious offense. As a Falling Sky Valley disciple, I obviously cannot ignore it. Quickly return to the valley with me!"

"Serious offense?" Ye Qingtang looked at Xuanyuan Lie with a face full of smiles. "The two outer sect disciples of Peerless School have not said anything. Could it be that I was convicted of the so-called serious offense by you?"

"You…"

Xuanyuan Lie did not know what to say after being retorted by Ye Qingtang.

Just as Ye Qingtang said, the two Peerless School disciples whom Ye Qingtang injured had not said anything, but now, he…

"Fallacious argument." Annoyed, Xuanyuan Lie waved a hand strongly and said. "No matter what, you did injure two Peerless School outer sect disciples. Thus, before your identity is investigated clearly, you are forbidden from leaving Falling Sky Valley!"

If this person was really from a hidden clan from the sea of clouds at Mount Qin, Xuanyuan Lie would naturally not dare to do this. However, looking at it now, he believed that this person's identity was definitely feigned.

If Ye Qingtang was really a member of the hidden clan in the sea of clouds at Mount Qin, how was it possible for her to cultivate in Falling Sky Valley and be apprenticed to Perfected Xuanchen?

The spirit energy in the sea of clouds at Mount Qin should be many times richer than in Falling Sky Valley. Why did she not remain in such a good place but come over to Nine Nights Dynasty?

No matter how he saw it, Ye Qingtang's identity was extremely suspicious, and she did not seem to be from the legendary hidden clan.

"Xuanyuan Lie, even if it's about investigating my identity, it should be the Peerless School who should do the investigation. What has it got to do with you and Falling Sky Valley?" Ye Qingtang laughed coldly and said. "Xuanyuan Lie, it's best for you to not be nosy. With this time and effort, going into seclusion to cultivate would be more practical."

"You are educating me?" A vein popped out from Xuanyuan Lie's forehead. Ye Qingtang had a sharp tongue, and he was unable to outspeak her.

"Educate you?" Ye Qingtang shook her head and said. "I am not related to you. Why would I spend energy to educate you?"

"Insolent. You just entered the Falling Sky Valley for a few days but dare to talk to a senior brother like this… Good. I'll take the place of Perfected Xuanchen to teach you about the difference in statuses!"

At this instant, Xuanyuan Lie finally held onto an opportunity to not let Ye Qingtang speak and instantly lunged at Ye Qingtang.

If Ye Qingtang was not from the hidden clan in the sea of clouds at Mount Qin, offending the Peerless School was definitely a serious offense.

If he captured this person, once it was found out that Ye Qingtang was not from the hidden clan, he could send her to the Peerless School to receive his punishment to win their favor.

This matter was the only relation between him and Peerless School. How would Xuanyuan Lie allow Ye Qingtang to leave Falling Sky Valley?

Xuanyuan Lie rammed his fist towards Ye Qingtang's abdomen.

"Just you?"

Ye Qingtang could not help but snicker. With the flick of a wrist, there was a loud boom, and Xuanyuan Lie's fist was held by Ye Qingtang's hand.

"WHAT?!"

Xuanyuan Lie's eyes widened immediately, and his face was full of disbelief.

Standing rooted to the ground, Ye Qingtang held Xuanyuan Lie's fist in hers with an indifferent expression.

"This… This is impossible!"

Frightened, Xuanyuan Lie locked his eyes on Ye Qingtang's hand which captured his fist.

Ye Qingtang intercepted his punch so casually?!

"Xuanyuan Lie, you're too weak," Ye Qingtang said slowly as she looked at Xuanyuan Lie without any emotions.

"What did you say?!" Xuanyuan Lie hollered in fury.

He was the dignified number one talent of Falling Sky Valley. How could he be weak!!

820 He Who Has A Mind To Beat His Dog Will Easily Find His Stick 3

"Your cultivation base is only at Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three, but you still dare to stop me?" Ye Qingtang's lips curled up into an icy smile.

"Presumptuous!"

With a furious shout, a Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three martial aura was concentrated to the maximum and exploded out subsequently.

A wild wind was stirred up, and the rocks on the ground were blown into this hurricane-like wind before being crushed into powder from the impact.

Xuanyuan Lie made use of this time to escape from Ye Qingtang's grasp and retreated backward immediately.

"Why? Do you still wish to continue?" There was a lack of interest on Ye Qingtang's face. and her eyes scanned Xuanyuan Lie.

"Ye Chen, what do you think you are?" A cold glint emerged in Xuanyuan Lie's eyes as he stared at Ye Qingtang before him.

In Falling Sky Valley, he was claimed to be the number one talent such that even Gu Yihan, the top disciple of Perfected Xuanchen, and Liu Mo, the top disciple of Water Cut Peak, were not his opponents. Yet, today, he was ridiculed by Ye Qingtang who just entered the valley!

"You're already defeated, and you still want to frighten me with words?" Ye Qingtang said with a smile.

"Defeated?" Xuanyuan scorned with contempt. "Ye Chen, I only used fifty percent of my skills just now."

"Oh?" Ye Qingtang looked at Xuanyuan Lie and said. "I only used ten percent of my skills just now."

"You have a death wish!" Xuanyuan Lie burst in fury and charged towards Ye Qingtang again.

For a prodigy like Xuanyuan Lie who entered the late-stage of Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three at such a young age, he was naturally prideful and always looked down on everyone. Thus, he could not tolerate the ridicule in Ye Qingtang's words.

Whiz!

Xuanyuan Lie launched a heavy punch with all his strength.

In an instant, a cloud of force enveloped Ye Qingtang and completely sealed all routes Ye Qingtang could retreat to.

"I'll see where you can escape to!" Xuanyuan Lie suddenly inched closer with murderous air exuding all around him.

A cold smile played on Ye Qingtang's lips, and she simply ignored Xuanyuan Lie's desire.

At this instant, Ye Qingtang stood rooted to the ground and sensed the attack of a powerful punch, but she did not dodge at all.

In the next second, Xuanyuan Lie watched in surprise as Ye Qingtang stretched out a finger.

Boom!

A loud sound suddenly rang.

Xuanyuan Lie's overwhelming punch was actually easily blocked by Ye Qingtang with one finger.

"What!"

Xuanyuan Lie blanked out and looked in disbelief at that slim finger which blocked his fist.

"When did you have the misconception that I wanted to escape?" Ye Qingtang said with a calm expression. "You… are really too weak."

"Impossible!"

Suffering a huge blow to his confidence, Xuanyuan Lie shouted in fury continuously and flung towards Ye Qingtang with both fists as though he went mad.

However, Ye Qingtang only shifted the position of that one finger calmly and blocked all of Xuanyuan Lie's attacks.

"It's my turn."

Ye Qingtang kept her finger back and smiled. "Look properly. The fist should be used like this."

Right after she spoke, she threw a fist towards Xuanyuan Lie's abdomen.

This punch was so fast that Xuanyuan Lie did not even see when Ye Qingtang struck.

Boom!

A deafening sound erupted.

"Ow!!"

At the same time, Xuanyuan Lie spat out large mouthfuls of blood. He held his abdomen with both hands, and with no strength to support himself, he immediately knelt beside Ye Qingtang's feet.

821 Xuanyuan Yi 1

Xuanyuan Lie's entire body contorted in pain, and his face was full of agony. He never thought that Ye Qingtang's punch would be so terrifying that he did not have any ability to resist.

"Xuanyuan Lie, you claim to be the number one genius of Falling Sky Valley but can't even block a punch from me?" Ye Qingtang towered over Xuanyuan Lie and snickered.

"You…"

Veins were popping out of Xuanyuan Lie's forehead, and he wished he could chop Ye Qingtang into pieces.

"Do you think that you're unparalleled just because you entered Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three at this age?" Ye Qingtang gazed at Xuanyuan Lie emotionlessly. In the next second, strong winds were stirred up, and a frightening Yin Yang Perfected Lord aura completely enveloped Xuanyuan Lie in it.

"Half-step… Yin Yang Perfected Lord?!"

After he sensed Ye Qingtang's daunting martial aura, disbelief filled Xuanyuan Lie's eyes.

He originally thought that Ye Qingtang was at most in the mid-stage of Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three and never thought that she would actually be a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord!

"How… How can it be!" Xuanyuan Lie was unreconciled to it. As Falling Sky Valley's number one talent, he was already admired by many of the younger generation disciples for being able to enter the late-stage of Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three at this age.

But Ye Qingtang was younger than him and was already a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord…

If Xuanyuan Lie did not offend her, Ye Qingtang would not bother with him either. However, Xuanyuan Lie blocked her way and launched a killing move just now. Thus, Ye Qingtang would not spare any mercy.

No matter who it was, anyone who wanted her life must be prepared to be killed.

Swoosh!

In a flash, a long black sword was unsheathed, and Ye Qingtang slashed down at Xuanyuan Lie without talking any nonsense.

A deathly air enshrouded Xuanyuan Lie instantly.

Xuanyuan Lie had never felt such a bitter cold before, and fear arose within him for the first time.

However, before Ye Qingtang's sword could touch Xuanyuan Lie, a piercing sound rang in the air.

In the next second, an invisible screen isolated Xuanyuan Lie.

Boom!

Ye Qingtang slashed down, but it landed on the screen. There was only a scratch on the screen, and Xuanyuan Lie was completely untouched.

Instinctively, Xuanyuan Lie looked up in the sky.

At this instant, a white-robed elderly was standing in the air, and his cold eyes which seemed to be filled with endless intimidation were locked on Ye Qingtang.

"Grand… Grandfather!"

Xuanyuan Lie was very glad to see the white-robed elderly.

Fortunately, that junior brother sent the message in time and requested his grandfather to come over. Otherwise, he would have been slaughtered by Ye Qingtang's sword just now!

Xuanyuan Lie's grandfather, Xuanyuan Yi, was the Peak Master of Full Moon Peak, and his cultivation had already entered the Third Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord!

"Xuanyuan Yi…"

Ye Qingtang's brows were slightly furrowed upon seeing the white-robed elderly.

Xuanyuan Yi's martial skills were extremely powerful. He was a true Yin Yang Perfected Lord and had already reached the Third Heaven. Leaving her aside, even ordinary Yin Yang Perfected Lords definitely could not be Xuanyuan Yi's opponent.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Yi rushed over here, Ye Qingtang knew that she had no way of killing Xuanyuan Lie.

A trace of a smile emerged on Ye Qingtang's face immediately, and she kept the black sword into its sheath.

"Ye Chen, how bold of you." Xuanyuan Yi told Ye Qingtang coldly.

822 Xuanyuan Yi 2

Ye Qingtang smiled after hearing that and said, "Full Moon Peak Master, what do you mean by that?"

"You left Falling Sky Valley without permission and wanted to kill a genius disciple in the valley. Do you admit to your crimes?" Xuanyuan Yi said.

"I don't understand what you're saying, Full Moon Peak Master." Ye Qingtang shook her head and said. "Let's not talk about the fact that I am the Valley Master's disciple. Even if I'm an ordinary disciple in Falling Sky Valley, don't I have the freedom to leave the valley to train? Furthermore, it's Xuanyuan Lie who stopped me and wanted to exchange moves with me. I am very helpless as well."

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Yi looked at Ye Qingtang without emotions. "They said that you're good at quibbling, and it is indeed true from what I see now. Return to Falling Sky Valley with me right now and wait for Peerless School to get to the bottom of your parentage."

Before waiting for Ye Qingtang to say anything, Xuanyuan Lie said hurriedly, "Grandfather, this little bastard is definitely not from the sea of clouds at Mount Qin. Otherwise, why would he come to our Falling Sky Valley to cultivate? After offending the Peerless School, he knew that he caused big trouble and wants to flee now!"

However, Xuanyuan Yi merely cast a look at Xuanyuan Lie indifferently. This grandson of his was still too young.

Even if Ye Qingtang was not from the sea of clouds at Mount Qin, killing her would, firstly, completely break off relations with Perfected Xuanchen as Ye Qingtang was his disciple no matter what.

Secondly, if Peerless School found out that Ye Qingtang was not from the sea of clouds at Mount Qin and asked them for her, it would be offending the Peerless School for the second time if Ye Qingtang could not be handed over.

Lastly, Ye Qingtang was so young but could attain the state of a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord. Even if she was not from the sea of clouds at Mount Qin, there must be a powerful force behind her. Otherwise, at her age, it was impossible to possess this cultivation base without the powerful force's emphasized grooming and millions of elixirs to raise her.

No matter what, Ye Qingtang must not be killed now. Even if she was to be killed, it must be because the other peaks pressured Perfected Xuanchen to clear her himself. This way, if there was anything wrong, it would all be Perfected Xuanchen's fault and would have nothing to do with them.

"Grandfather, kill that little bastard!" Xuanyuan Lie yelled at Xuanyuan Yi.

"Shut up." Xuanyuan Yi shouted coldly.

"Grandfather…" Xuanyuan Lie was stupefied and did not know why his grandfather reprimanded him.

"In these past few years, I have only been grooming your martial skills. It seems that you must cultivate your temperament in the future. If you're like this, you will definitely be at a disadvantage in the future," Xuanyuan Yi said coldly.

"Noted…"

Although Xuanyuan Lie did not know what he did that upset his grandfather, he could only keep his mouth shut and not speak again.

"Ye Chen, I'll not ask about the incident between you and Xuanyuan Lie today. However, you must return to Falling Sky Valley with me," Xuanyuan Yi said.

"I'm afraid I cannot do it." Ye Qingtang shook her head and said. "My clan summoned me. I must return to the sea of clouds at Mount Qin."

Ye Qingtang had already agreed with Master Du to head to the Dragon Vein today.

If she was captured back to Falling Sky Valley by Xuanyuan Lie, she would not be able to leave the valley, and the consequences would be dire if the Peerless School found out that she was not from the hidden clan. No matter what, she must not return to Falling Sky Valley.

"In at most two days, Peerless School will finish investigating your identity. If you're really from the sea of clouds at Mount Qin, I'll naturally apologize to you, and the Peerless School will hold all responsibility," Xuanyuan Yi said.

823 Xuanyuan Yi 3

Ye Qingtang could not help but secretly sneer after hearing Xuanyuan Yi's words.

Xuanyuan Yi was truly an old fox for pushing all blame away from himself thoroughly.

"Xuanyuan Yi, I don't have the energy to chat with you."

After saying that, Ye Qingtang turned around and wanted to leave.

"Ye Chen, where do you wish to go?" Seeing that Ye Qingtang wanted to leave, a glint flashed across Xuanyuan Yi's eyes immediately, and he raised an arm to repress Ye Qingtang.

Swoosh!

Almost in a flash, Ye Qingtang erupted her primordial qi. Two golden phoenix-like wings flapped, soared to the sky, and flew ahead.

"Grandfather, this little bastard cannot be a disciple of the hidden clan. Otherwise, how could he escape like that!" Xuanyuan Lie hurriedly told Xuanyuan Yi when he saw Ye Qingtang leaving the place.

Xuanyuan Yi scoffed after hearing that. He obviously knew that Ye Qingtang was most likely not a disciple of the hidden clan and did not need Xuanyuan Lie's reminder. He had his reasons for not killing Ye Qingtang, but his foolish grandson did not even understand this simple reason.

"Humph. Can she escape though?"

A gleam flashed across Xuanyuan Yi's eyes immediately. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared from the ground, turned into a bolt of white light, and flitted across the sky.

…

Ye Qingtang's primordial qi was raised to the maximum currently. She did not head to Master Du's but fled out of the city.

"Old thing…"

Not long later, Ye Qingtang's body trembled slightly. Xuanyuan Yi's Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven aura had locked onto her, but she did not think that he would chase up so quickly.

A moment later, Ye Qingtang was already out of the monarch city, and ahead was a natural canyon.

"Ye Chen, you have already committed a serious offense. Return to Falling Sky Valley with me immediately or bear the consequences yourself." Xuanyuan Yi's voice sounded behind Ye Qingtang.

"Old thing, you really don't have any self-respect. Why are you clinging to me?" Ye Qingtang sneered.

Xuanyuan Yi's eyes flickered upon hearing that, and he shouted coldly. "Ye Chen, if you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame me for breaking your limbs and ruining all your cultivation base before throwing you back to Falling Sky Valley."

"Xuanyuan Yi, I am the disciple of the Valley Master, Perfected Xuanchen. Aren't you afraid of my Master's wrath?" Ye Qingtang asked.

"Ye Chen, you don't need to say anymore. I'll naturally explain the situation to the Valley Master." As Xuanyuan Yi spoke, he raised his arm and launched a blow at Ye Qingtang, who was a thousand meters away.

In the next second, a wild wind along with a frightening force swept towards Ye Qingtang.

As she felt the might of Xuanyuan Yi's attack from a thousand meters away, the expression in Ye Qingtang's eyes changed immediately.

If she was really hit by the blow, even those ordinary Yin Yang Perfected Lords would be severely injured, much less herself, a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

Given Xuanyuan Yi's martial skills, he could kill Ye Qingtang in at most a few breaths.

However, Xuanyuan Yi had some concerns, and it was inconvenient for the current Ye Qingtang to die in his hands. As such, he only controlled his strength at a level which would injure Ye Qingtang severely. Otherwise, Ye Qingtang would not have been able to flee to this place.

As the might of the attack came upon Ye Qingtang, the ink-colored sword was unsheathed sharply, and she slashed out with all her primordial qi.

824 Give You A Big Presen

Ye Qingtang slashed from an extremely tricky angle and used the pure sword aura to slant the force from Xuanyuan Yi's attack.

After that move, Ye Qingtang did not stagnate and instead put away her golden wings immediately before rushing downward.

Boom!!

A loud explosion echoed.

After the angle of the force from Xuanyuan Yi's attack slightly deviated, the force crashed into a mountain behind.

"Oh…"

Standing in the air, Xuanyuan Yi was a little surprised to see Ye Qingtang escaping into a canyon.

Her earlier attack was extremely precise. As long as there was a slight deviation, the force of his smash would erupt immediately, and Ye Qingtang would be injured by it.

What surprised Xuanyuan Yi was not Ye Qingtang's martial cultivation but purely her Sword Dao attainments and the ability to grasp the chance.

Very quickly, Xuanyuan Yi reorganized his mind and chased after Ye Qingtang immediately.

No matter what, Xuanyuan Yi must capture Ye Qingtang back to Falling Sky Valley today.

"Ye Chen, you cannot escape."

Xuanyuan Yi's voice reverberated throughout the canyon. His Yin Yang Perfected Lord aura had already locked onto Ye Qingtang, and even if she fled to the ends of the earth, she would never flee from his hands.

Whiz!

A penetrating sound rang, and Xuanyuan Yi vanished in the blink of an eye.

…

In the canyon, a glint emerged in Ye Qingtang's eyes.

If she was not assertive and took a risk to deviate the force of Xuanyuan Yi's attack using the sword aura, she would have been severely injured right now.

Xuanyuan Yi… It's a small world. I will definitely take revenge in the future!

Ye Qingtang decided in her mind.

Behind, Xuanyuan Yi's aura closed in rapidly. While Ye Qingtang's speed was fast, she was only a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord after all while Xuanyuan Yi had already entered the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven, and the difference between the two of them was like heaven and earth.

If Xuanyuan Yi went all out, there was simply no chance of winning for her.

Then, Ye Qingtang's lips curled up. Burning the golden primordial qi in her body, her speed suddenly multiplied, and she vanished from sight instantly.

Sensing that Ye Qingtang's speed increased all of a sudden, Xuanyuan Yi was slightly taken aback, but he snickered subsequently. "Ye Chen, my aura has already locked onto you. How can you escape from me?"

At this instant, Ye Qingtang was already a few kilometers away, and there was a huge mountain peak above.

Before long, Xuanyuan Yi chased to this place.

"Why? You're not running anymore?" Xuanyuan Yi looked at Ye Qingtang as though he was looking at his prey.

"I have a big present to give you." Afterward, Ye Qingtang waved her sword at the mountain peak above.

In the next second, the entire mountain peak crumbled from the power of Ye Qingtang's move. Before Xuanyuan Yi could return to his senses, he was already smashed and buried under the countless boulders.

In at most ten breaths, numerous boulders exploded, and Xuanyuan Yi gradually rose into the air, where he scanned the surroundings grimly.

A trace of astonishment emerged on his face very soon. At this moment, he could no longer sense Ye Qingtang's aura anymore…

In a certain corner of the canyon, the sound of flowing water could be heard continuously.

There was a turbid river at the bottom, and Ye Qingtang was hidden in this river.

Given Ye Qingtang's experience, she knew that water could sever one's martial aura. Thus, by hiding in this river, Xuanyuan Yi would no longer be able to sense her location.

"Ye Chen, I see you. If you don't come out, don't blame me for killing you."

A while later, Xuanyuan Yi's voice sounded above the river.

Ye Qingtang scoffed in the river. That Xuanyuan Yi really treated her as a three-year-old.

In the air, Xuanyuan Yi's dagger-like eyes scanned across the surroundings.

Given Ye Qingtang's speed, she must still be nearby and could not be too far away.

Moreover, only soil, mud, and water could screen one's martial aura.

As such, Xuanyuan Yi could determine that Ye Qingtang must be hiding nearby.

It was, however, that there were numerous rivers and places with soil in the surrounding area. Without locking onto her aura, searching for Ye Qingtang was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

With a yell, Xuanyuan Yi swept the surroundings with his sword.

In a flash, the land nearby shattered, and rivers exploded with a frightening sound.

"Good. Ye Chen, since you're not appearing, I want to see how long you can hide for." Xuanyuan Yi's lips tugged up slightly, and an icy smile appeared on his face.

Regardless of where Ye Qingtang was hiding in, she had to hold her breath, and even a Yin Yang Perfected Lord could not hold their breath for more than one day.

He was standing in the air right now, and as long as Ye Qingtang came out to breathe, she would definitely not escape his eyes.

Ye Qingtang naturally knew what Xuanyuan Yi was thinking of, but she was not in a hurry. Since Xuanyuan Yi wanted to play, she would just accompany him then.

Time passed extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, numerous hours passed, and it was already deep into the night right now.

In the river, Ye Qingtang had already reached her limit and had to leave the river to breathe. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

Taking advantage of the dark, Ye Qingtang walked onto the shore quietly.

However, at this instant, a force swept across, and Ye Qingtang dodged away in time.

Boom!

The force caused the ground before Ye Qingtang to crack, and a wide deep pit appeared.

At the same time, Xuanyuan Yi snickered and descended from the sky immediately, and he grabbed Ye Qingtang's left shoulder.

"Who's there!"

Ye Qingtang shouted furiously and turned around.

After seeing Ye Qingtang's appearance, Xuanyuan Yi's expression changed, and an odd look emerged on his face.

The person before him was actually a stunning girl who was wearing a white dress.

This was no man and clearly a lady.

"You…" Xuanyuan Yi frowned deeply. He originally thought that it was Ye Chen, but why was it suddenly a lady?!

The lady before him looked completely different from Ye Chen, and they were simply two different people.

Furthermore, with Xuanyuan Yi's abilities, he could easily tell that it was not a disguise technique.

"Who are you? Why do you want to attack me?!" There was a trace of anger in Ye Qingtang's bright eyes.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Xuanyuan Yi asked back.

"I am a family clan disciple. I head to this canyon to train and entered this river to wash my body as I was covered in days of dust. What is wrong with that? Instead, you're pretty old already. Why are you here to peep?" Ye Qingtang said.

"Humph. Young one, don't talk nonsense!" Xuanyuan Yi said coldly.

The moment he finished his sentence, he seemed to have thought of something and stared right at Ye Qingtang. "You said that you entered the river to wash your body, but why did you wash with clothes on?"

At this instant, Ye Qingtang's clothes were still wet.

826 Cross-Dress 2

Ye Qingtang looked at Xuanyuan Yi coldly and replied. "A battle can happen anytime during training. Do I still have to unclothe myself completely? Moreover, what has it got to do with you whether I wash my body with clothes on or not?"

Xuanyuan Yi did not say anything else after hearing Ye Qingtang.

Many female disciples in Falling Sky Valley trained outside, and they would never remove all their clothes to wash their bodies even if they were covered in dust.

"Young one, you're too arrogant." Xuanyuan Yi stared at Ye Qingtang and said.

"Young one? Who are you?" Ye Qingtang asked.

"I am Falling Sky Valley's Full Moon Peak Master." Xuanyuan Yi shouted coldly.

"You're one of the Peak Masters in Falling Sky Valley?!" Upon hearing that, Ye Qingtang's face was filled with "astonishment".

As he saw Ye Qingtang's reaction, Xuanyuan Yi's expression turned slightly better.

"So it's senior Xuanyuan… Sorry for not recognizing you," Ye Qingtang said with cupped fists.

"Let me ask you. Did you see a handsome young man wearing the Falling Sky Valley disciple's uniform?" Xuanyuan Yi asked Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang was in deep thought after hearing the question. A while later, she suddenly said, "I saw a man burying himself in soil, and he was covered in soil all over, so I don't know whether he is handsome or what he is wearing." Ye Qingtang replied.

"Oh?!"

A glint flashed across Xuanyuan Yi's eyes after hearing what Ye Qingtang said.

A man hiding in the soil—apart from Ye Chen, there was no way it could be anyone else.

"Where is that man now?!" Xuanyuan Yi shouted coldly.

Ye Qingtang immediately pointed a direction for Xuanyuan Yi and replied. "Senior Xuanyuan, I met him a few hours ago, and I am unable to judge whether that man is still hidden in the soil."

After Ye Qingtang finished her sentence, Xuanyuan Yi immediately turned into a bolt of light and disappeared from sight.

After confirming that Xuanyuan Yi had left completely, the corners of Ye Qingtang's lips curled up slightly, and a devilish smile hung on her alluring face.

"Xuanyuan Yi, you're still too young."

Then, Ye Qingtang turned around and walked out of the canyon.

The direction that Ye Qingtang pointed at just now was a lair, belonging to a large group of demonic beasts, which she saw when she was flying in the sky during the day. Although it was impossible for them to injure Xuanyuan Yi, they would not give Xuanyuan Yi a pleasant time.

In just a moment, roars of demonic beasts, along with Xuanyuan Yi's enraged yells, echoed in the silent canyon.

On the journey, Ye Qingtang turned around and looked at the deeper areas of the canyon. "Xuanyuan Yi, you will not be able to find Ye Chen. You can just play with those large demonic beasts."

Afterward, Ye Qingtang left the canyon completely without turning back.

After returning to the central monarch city of Nine Nights Dynasty, it was already dawn of the second day.

The places which the little white tiger wrecked in Bliss Forging Workshop were already repaired. Today, the main entrance to Bliss Forging Workshop was shut tightly.

Noticing the situation, many visitors could only leave disappointedly.

Very quickly, Ye Qingtang went forward and knocked on the door.

The door was opened in a while, and Du Sheng poked his head out of the door.

"You are?"

Du Sheng asked with a frown when he saw a foreign lady outside the door.

"I'm looking for Master Du," Ye Qingtang said.

"Is Master Du someone you can meet just because you wish to?" Unhappy, Du Sheng slammed the door shut heavily once again.

827 Disturbed Sleep

Seeing that Du Sheng closed the door immediately, Ye Qingtang was dumbfounded.

Then, she suddenly recalled that she had already changed her appearance and resumed her female identity. Du Sheng did not recognize the current her.

With no other options, Ye Qingtang could only knock on Bliss Forging Workshop's door once again.

"What? Do you not understand what I said just now?" Du Sheng opened the door and frowned at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang originally wanted to explain the situation, but before Ye Qingtang could say anything, the little white tiger's voice suddenly sounded from the Bliss Forging Workshop. "F*ck. Which blind person keeps disturbing my good sleep!"

As an arrogant voice sounded, the little white tiger stretched his back and trotted out of the door.

However, the little white tiger was stupefied when he looked outside the door.

Was Ye Qingtang addicted to cross-dressing? One moment a male and the other a female…

"Why? Disturbed your good sleep?" Ye Qingtang looked at the little white tiger with a seeming smile.

"Du Sheng!" The little white tiger immediately looked at the young man beside it. "F*ck. Du Sheng, I was wondering who it was. So it is you. Why are you making so much noise in the morning and disturbing my sleep…"

"…"

If the little white tiger was the second-best in the world at changing its stance. There would definitely not be anyone who dared to be the first.

"Me?"

After hearing the little white tiger, Du Sheng pointed at himself in bewilderment. Wasn't the person who disturbed its sleep the lady outside the door?

"Ah. Forget it, forget it. I forgive you." The little white tiger had an arrogant expression.

"Oh… Alright…" Du Sheng nodded instinctively.

"Make way." The little white tiger walked forward and pushed Du Sheng aside with its butt before looking at Ye Qingtang. "Come, come, come. Come in quickly."

Before waiting for the little white tiger to finish speaking, Ye Qingtang had already walked into the Bliss Forging Workshop.

In the main hall, the silver wolf was still sleeping, and the wolf nest beside it was clearly seized by the little white tiger.

"Du Sheng, call Master Du over." After entering Bliss Forging Workshop, Ye Qingtang looked at Du Sheng and said with a smile.

"You are…" Du Sheng was a little surprised. What was the relationship between Ye Chen's spirit animal and this lady?

"I told you to call that old man out, and you just need to do it. Why do you have so many questions when you're so young? All you know is to ask this and that. No wonder you never managed to learn a few skills from the old man," the little white tiger said while staring at Du Sheng.

"…" Du Sheng stared blankly at the little white tiger.

"Ah. Alright then." Du Sheng scratched his head and walked into the inner hall.

After Du Sheng left, the little white tiger looked at Ye Qingtang and asked, "Why did you change back again?"

"Why do you have so many questions when you're so young? No wonder you don't have an awe-inspiring presence like your father." Ye Qingtang said with a smile.

After hearing Ye Qingtang, the little white tiger was immediately stupefied and subsequently rolled its eyes at Ye Qingtang a few times.

Before long, Master Du walked out of the inner hall and was rather confused when he saw Ye Qingtang. He did not seem to know this stunning lady.

Not waiting for Master Du to speak, Ye Qingtang said, "Sorry, Master Du. I was delayed by something yesterday. When do we set off to the Dragon Vein?"

Master Du was taken aback to hear what Ye Qingtang said, and he looked at her in surprise. "How… How do you know about the Dragon Vein… Could it be that you're Ye Chen…"

Ye Qingtang smiled. She was about to admit the identity but was a little dumbstruck by Master Du's next sentence.

"Brother Ye Chen's wife? Younger sister? Older sister? Friend?" Master Du asked with a frown.

828 Miss... Ye Chen?

The little white tiger could not hold itself back and interrupted Master Du. "She is Ye Chen. This is how she looks like in the first place."

"This lady is Brother Ye Chen?!"

Master Du sized up the lady before him in disbelief. No matter how he looked, the two of them were definitely not the same person.

"You said you are Brother Ye Chen?"

Master Du stared at Ye Qingtang and asked.

"Master Du, indeed, it is me." Ye Qingtang nodded.

Nonetheless, Master Du shook his head and said, "I don't believe you."

Ye Chen was male, but the person before him was female, and even their appearances were completely different. How would Master Du believe it easily?

"Since that's the case, may I know what I should do for you to believe me?" Ye Qingtang asked.

"That's not difficult. As long as you recover Brother Ye Chen's appearance, I will believe you," Master Du said.

Ye Qingtang was speechless. There seemed to be no difference between saying that and not.

"There's no need to go through such trouble." Ye Qingtang raised her arm slowly. When she turned her palm over, a golden flame appeared in her palms like a dancing fairy.

Master Du was astonished when he saw the golden flame. Wasn't this Ye Chen's Extraordinary Flame…

When he saw Ye Qingtang's Extraordinary Flame, he finally believed the lady before his eyes was Ye Chen.

All Extraordinary Flames had their own differences. In this world, each Extraordinary Flame was unique, and even if there were two similar types, there would still be a slight difference. However, the Extraordinary Flame that Ye Qingtang displayed was exactly the same as Ye Chen's.

"Brother Ye Chen, why did you become a girl?" Master Du asked, flabbergasted.

"To tell you the truth, I was originally a female but became Ye Chen because of some needs." Ye Qingtang explained.

Master Du nodded. "So do I call you Brother Ye Chen or Miss Ye Chen from now on?"

"Uh…" Ye Qingtang did not know what to say for the moment. Ultimately, she could only reply helplessly. "You can call me whatever you like, Master Du."

"Alright," Master Du said. "Brother Ye Chen, let's head to the Dragon Vein right now."

Ye Qingtang had no objections to that. According to their initial agreement, they were supposed to head to the Dragon Vein yesterday. However, Xuanyuan Yi appeared midway, and they were already late by half a day.

Very quickly, Master Du went back to the inner hall to make his preparations and briefed Du Sheng on some things before returning to the outer hall again.

"Xiao Guai."

Ye Qingtang called when she saw that the silver wolf was still sleeping.

The silver wolf opened its eyes instantly after hearing that. It scanned its surroundings with a fierce gaze and bared its fangs, only keeping it once it saw Ye Qingtang.

"Let's not bring this burden," the little white tiger said.

"That's right. Brother Ye Chen, the Dragon Vein is extremely dangerous. From what I see, it's better for your pet wolf to stay at my place," Master Du said.

However, under Ye Qingtang's persistent requests, the silver wolf still followed Ye Qingtang and was on the road together with the rest.

Master Du and Ye Qingtang walked out of the Bliss Forging Workshop with the silver wolf and little white tiger, and they headed out of Nine Nights Dynasty's monarch city.

The Dragon Vein was very far away from the Nine Nights Dynasty monarch city, and with the speed of the two people, they still required a few days to reach.

Half a day later, they were already far from Nine Nights Dynasty. They passed a post house, where Master Du bought two horses to use as their means of transportation.

However, before Ye Qingtang got on the horse, the silver wolf tugged on her clothes with its claws.

"What is it, Xiao Guai?" Ye Qingtang looked at the silver wolf and asked.

The silver wolf howled and crouched on the ground immediately.

"It wants you to ride on it," the little white tiger said.

829 The Legend of The Dragon Vein

"Didn't you not understand wolf language?" Ye Qingtang looked at the little white tiger.

After hearing that, the little white tiger said, "You can guess by looking at its lowly appearance."

Ye Qingtang did not say anything and sat on the silver wolf's back gently.

The moment Ye Qingtang sat on the silver wolf, it stood up and immediately turned into a silver shadow. In just the blink of an eye, it disappeared completely without a trace, leaving behind an ownerless horse that looked ahead in bewilderment.

"F*ck. I never thought that this fellow's speed would be so fast, although his skills are only so-so." The little white tiger crouched on Ye Qingtang's left shoulder and said after sensing the silver wolf's speed.

Even if an ordinary Yin Yang Perfected Lord put in all his might, he might not be able to keep up with the silver wolf's running speed.

The little white tiger pondered immediately. Could it be that the Demon God transformed this imitation for Ye Qingtang to use to escape when she encountered danger…

Ye Qingtang was extremely surprised, and she looked down at the majestic silver wolf. "Xiao Guai, you are actually so fast…"

The silver wolf howled after hearing Ye Qingtang, and its speed increased for some reason.

"Brother Ye Chen, slow down a little!"

In a while, Master Du's voice sounded from behind.

Ye Qingtang immediately let the silver wolf decrease its speed.

She did not know the location of the Dragon Vein and still required Master Du to lead the way.

Very quickly, Master Du chased up to them and looked at the little white tiger on Ye Qingtang's shoulder. "I really could not tell that this little animal of yours was this fast. I'm afraid that a Yin Yang Perfected Lord would also be pretty inferior when compared to it."

Ye Qingtang, too, was extremely puzzled over Xiao Guai's speed as she only found out about it today.

"Brother Ye Chen, do you know anything about the Dragon Vein?" Master Du changed the topic and asked Ye Qingtang.

Knowing that Ye Qingtang's cultivation based was at a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, Master Du thought that Ye Qingtang should have some knowledge.

After hearing Master Du's question, Ye Qingtang was, however, in silence.

In her previous life, she did hear rumors of the Dragon Vein, but she had never gotten involved in it.

That Dragon Vein was guarded by the top three forces of this mainland: apart from Peerless School of Nine Nights Dynasty and Beiming Manor of Formidable Heavens Dynasty, there was also the most powerful evil cult on this mainland currently, the Phantom Valley.

Other than these three forces, there was no one else who dared to go near the Dragon Vein.

"I don't know it very well." Ye Qingtang replied honestly in the end.

Master Du did not mind it and spoke after thinking for a while. "According to the legend, before this mainland was truly formed, there was a True Dragon and Divine Phoenix above the heavens, and they battled for dozens of years in the void. In the end, it's said that the True Dragon was severely injured and fell from the heavens. It landed here, forming the Dragon Vein."

Ye Qingtang was not very clear of this legend and had only heard it from Master Du today.

In her previous life, she did not have any interest in the Dragon Vein and naturally would not bother with such legends.

"The True Dragon could not defeat the Divine Phoenix and was even killed by the Divine Phoenix. Old fellow, I am young. You must not lie to me." The little white tiger stared at Master Du with an annoyed expression.

Master Du could not hold himself back from shooting the little white tiger a look after hearing it. "Everything I said is what I heard. I didn't even see the battle back then. How would I be clear of the truth?"

830 Mysterious Youth

Similar to the little white tiger's race, the True Dragon and Divine Phoenix were top Fiendcelestial Beasts and the supreme among the Fiendcelestial Beasts.

Even if the battle between the True Dragon and Divine Phoenix lasted for millions of years, there might not be a conclusion. Furthermore, the True Dragon's bodily strength was the most powerful out of all Fiendcelestial Beasts, and no one could compare to it—probably not even a deity.

How would a True Dragon die so easily like this?

"There are at least seven to eight mainlands of different sizes in the periphery of this mainland. However, the martial culture of this mainland is the most backward and still too weak compared to the surrounding mainlands. Brother Ye Chen, do you know why?" Master Du asked with a smile.

"It seems that it's because the spirit energy is insufficient." Ye Qingtang replied.

In her previous life, after she left the mainland, she headed to other mainlands but discovered that the spirit energy in any other mainland was at least a few times more than in this mainland.

For this mainland, Yin Yang Perfected Lord was the maximum, and the number of Yin Yang Perfected Lords could be counted with one hand.

However, even Arcane Supremacies appeared on other mainlands.

Only after breaking through the bottleneck at Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven would one have a slim chance of attempting to advance to an Arcane Supremacy.

However, Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven was extremely rare. Not mentioning this domain, there were only a few even in the Second Domain and Third Domain.

It was said that a cultivator could attempt to advance to the Arcane Supremacy realm after reaching the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven. Yin Yang Perfected Lord Ninth Heaven was already very rare, and Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven seemed to have already become a lost realm.

In Ye Qingtang's previous life, she had never reached the threshold of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Ninth Heaven, much less a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven, as she merely chose to advance to the Arcane Supremacy realm when she reached the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven.

Nevertheless, there was never an Arcane Supremacy on this mainland before.

Master Du spoke a long time later. "The spirit energy on this mainland is so thin is because of this Dragon Vein. Rumors have it that the True Dragon's skeletal remains absorbed about eighty to ninety percent of the spirit energy into this Dragon Vein. The reason why the Peerless School, Phantom Valley, and Beiming Manor can be above the rest and become the most powerful is that they dominated the Dragon Vein."

"I see." Ye Qingtang was in thought after hearing Master Du's explanation, and her interest in the Dragon Vein was finally piqued.

The legend of the True Dragon and Divine Phoenix, the absorption of spirit energy by the True Dragon's skeletal remains, and even… the treasures in the Dragon Vein…

This trip was equivalent to declaring to the world that the authority of the three top forces on this mainland—Peerless School, Beiming Manor, and Phantom Valley—would eventually be demolished by a person.

In this world, anything could be broken.

If one lived fervently, even the oldest shackles and conventional rules would no longer bind them at all.

Ye Qingtang never thought about her life or death in this trip to the Dragon Vein; she only had one goal.

Step over those three best forces and plunder everything to become a Yin Yang Perfected Lord without impediment.

However, thousands of miles away at this instant.

A male youth was seated beside a mountain spring and playing a game of chess with a white-haired elderly.

This youth was extremely handsome, and it was as though he walked out of a painting, yet there was a trace of an inexplicable devilish charm from his appearance.

"Teacher, I won."

Then, the elderly chuckled, and his hands left the chessboard.

831 Assembly Of The Prodigies

After a long while, the youth looked at the elderly with a seeming smile.

There were several guards with unfathomable martial auras standing beside the youth.

"Your Highness, your chess skills became more exquisite again," said the elderly with a nod.

Subsequently, the youth rose and took a glance across his surroundings. Lifting a finger gently, the chessboard vanished.

"Is this place the mainland whose Dimension Wall is broken… The spirit energy is so thin." The youth's lips tugged up slightly.

"Your Highness, may I know why you came to this inferior mainland?"

A midget who was less than a meter tall asked the youth curiously.

"Nothing much. I just came to gain knowledge and experience." The youth replied.

"Your Highness, the spirit energy on this mainland is extremely thin. Even our skills are being suppressed. It's better for us to leave as soon as possible." Another guard spoke up.

After hearing that, the youth smiled faintly. "Since I came here, I naturally have my objectives. Do I still need you all to teach me when to leave?"

The guard's expression changed instantly, and he bowed with cupped fists. "Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

The youth waved his hand and said, "Rise."

"Noted…"

The guard relaxed.

A while later, the youth turned around and gazed at the sky while mumbling. "I never thought that the current talents would eventually compete together on this mainland. Interesting, really interesting…"

"Does Your Highness mean that the Yin Yang Boy, Black and White Holy Son, and those superhuman people on the Honor Roll List will all come here?" The midget asked curiously.

"There is a Dragon Vein here with a Wintry Yin aura. If not for the long-term protection of the Dimension Wall…" The youth scoffed before continuing. "This mainland would have been conquered a long time ago."

Everyone at the scene believed the youth's words fully.

"Teacher, let's go and take a look." The youth spoke to the elderly with a smile.

The elderly stood up and said, "Alright. Since Your Highness is so interested, I will accompany you."

However, as the elderly spoke, the youth had already walked ahead.

The elderly frowned slightly upon witnessing the sight but did not mention anything.

"True Dragon and Divine Phoenix in the eternal Dragon Vein… Thousands of talents on a small plot of land, yet it's still unfathomable." The youth's lips curled up, and his eyes shone like a bright moon.

As the guards followed the youth, they sized up the elderly every now and then.

"Your Highness, you clearly know that Perfected Gu Yun has already relied on the Crown Prince, but why… do you still want to let Perfected Gu Yun stay beside you on this trip?"

One of the guards asked softly with a weird expression.

"Don't speak nonsense. How can we guess His Highness's thoughts?" The midget rolled his eyes at the person who spoke immediately.

At the same time, several figures appeared successively in the air extremely far away.

A skinny figure arrived in the air, and a glint shone in his eyes.

Right on the heels of that, a few other figures appeared again.

If Ye Qingtang was present, she would definitely recognize these people with outstanding appearances.

The exceptional prodigies of the Central Mainland actually broke through the Dimension Wall and appeared on this mainland at the same time.

"Interesting. This mainland's Dimension Wall actually broke during my lifetime. It seems that the Dragon Vein must have some fate with me."

A muscular middle-aged man who was about three meters tall laughed loudly.

"You also wish to snatch the Dragon Vein with me?" The thin youth looked at the middle-aged man and snickered.

"Yin Yang Boy…"

The muscular middle-aged man's eyes flickered, but he did not dare to attack.

832 The Start of The Great Era: Vying for Supremacy

The Central Mainland was extremely vast, and it was almost a thousand times larger than this mainland. It had a total of eight dynasties, and each dynasty ruled 20 countries out of a total of 160 countries.

The supposed extremely-powerful Central Dynasty was merely one out of the eight dynasties and was not even considered as the top dynasty among the eight dynasties.

The Central Mainland was the best mainland in this domain. Apart from its almost-endless territory and booming martial culture, it also had countless terrifying hidden clans, and all of the best were gathered there.

Every dynasty had an Honor Roll List which recorded the names of the dynasty's powerful youngsters at present age.

For example, Yin Yang Boy was from the Eternal Dynasty and was one of the superhuman prodigies on the Honor Roll List. He was still young, but his martial skills had already entered the Arcane Supremacy realm. Apart from his title as the Yin Yang Boy, he also possessed the honorific of a Yin Yang Supremacy.

Swoosh!

In the next second, the Yin Yang Boy's tiny-looking body transformed into a bolt of light and disappeared instantly.

"Hah… I really never expected that it'd be our Eternal Dynasty to take the first step into this place." A young man mounted on a flying spirit animal chuckled and vanished without a trace.

"Beast Tamer, Tian Zui?"

The muscular man frowned slightly upon seeing that young man. That Tian Zui was a Beast Tamer who was true to his name. Although he appeared to be a young man, he was at least 100 years old…

"Damn it. So many talents came. It is really not definite whether I can pick up any bargains in this trip to the Dragon Vein." The muscular man mumbled.

An increasing number of talents appeared that day and flew towards the Dragon Vein.

…

At a valley, the silver wolf gradually stopped under Ye Qingtang's signal.

Ye Qingtang got off the silver wolf's back quickly and was in thought as she looked at the streaks of light in the sky that disappeared with a flash.

Master Du witnessed the sight as well, and his expression was rather solemn.

"Could it be that…" Master Du spoke with a frown.

"Powerful figures from other mainlands entered this mainland," Ye Qingtang said.

After a portion of the Dimension Wall was broken by Ning Luo, anyone who found the crack in the Dimension Wall could easily enter.

"Those people…"

Some of those faces were not exactly foreign to Ye Qingtang.

In her previous life, Ye Qingtang lived in the Central Mainland for a period of time. Thus, she had seen and heard about some talents.

Earlier on, Ye Qingtang saw a figure which appeared thin and weak.

"Eternal Dynasty's… Yin Yang Boy…" Ye Qingtang mumbled.

Although it was not a good thing that the Central Mainland's talents entered this place, it was fortunate that that ancient clan was situated in a remote area of the Central Mainland, and they should not have received news in a short time. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

Currently, Ye Qingtang had placed all her hopes on the Dragon Vein.

The Dragon Vein absorbed eighty to ninety percent of the spirit energy on this mainland. If she could enter it, it would be easy for her to break through to Yin Yang Perfected Lord given her current martial endowments.

"Haha, there's no need to worry." A proud expression filled Master Du's face swiftly. "Although those fellows have frightening skills, they don't know where the entrance of the Dragon Vein is and only sensed the Dragon Vein's aura. Just let them find it slowly!"

Ye Qingtang laughed. As Master Du had said, the Dragon Vein was hidden and extremely hard to find; otherwise, people would have found it centuries ago. Nonetheless, it had not been long since the three sects found the Dragon Vein.

833 Guarded By Disciples

While it was so, Ye Qingtang still had her worries. From what she saw, the people who broke through the Dimension Wall were all extremely powerful figures of the Central Mainland.

Some superhuman talents had already reached the Arcane Supremacy realm and owned the body of a Supremacy of whose skills were overly terrifying. In the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm, regardless of whether one was a Yin Lord or Yang Lord, it was no different from an ant in the eyes of an Arcane Supremacy.

Once they found the Dragon Vein, it would be extremely difficult for her to contend for anything.

A long while later, Ye Qingtang's tightly-frowned brows finally relaxed a little as she looked into the sky.

The good thing was that the amount of spirit energy on this mainland could not be compared to that of the surrounding mainlands. Even if an Arcane Supremacy entered this mainland, his martial skills would be forcefully suppressed to at most a Yin Yang Perfected Lord. The shorter the duration they entered this mainland, the greater the drop in their martial cultivation realm unless they had a special elixir which could increase their realm once again.

"Yin Yang Boy is already here. I'm afraid Black and White Holy Son would also come to this mainland to search for the Dragon Vein." Ye Qingtang muttered.

"Brother Ye Chen, let's head to the Dragon Vein quickly. There is not much time given to us." Master Du told Ye Qingtang a while later.

Ye Qingtang nodded and sat on the silver wolf's back.

In the blink of an eye, Master Du and Ye Qingtang vanished from that valley without a trace.

According to Master Du, there were several entrances to the Dragon Vein. The main route was monopolized by the three great forces, and the two of them were naturally unable to use the main route.

Dozens of years ago, Master Du once found another passageway which led into the Dragon Vein. However, that passageway was blocked by a Diamond Boulder which, in order to enter the Dragon Vein, had to be destroyed using the power of the Extraordinary Flame.

Two days later, Ye Qingtang and Master Du finally arrived at a desert.

In the middle of the desert, Master Du told Ye Qingtang to stop.

"There is an underground lair 1000 meters ahead of here. That is the entrance of the Dragon Vein." Master Du told Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang nodded after listening to Master Du's words, and both of them headed forward.

After walking only a few hundreds of meters, Master Du was surprised to see that there were a few young men guarding above the underground lair.

"Peerless School?" Ye Qingtang said softly after scanning those young men.

"Brother Ye Chen, I'm afraid the three forces have found this entrance to the Dragon Vein as well." Master Du sighed.

From what Ye Qingtang saw, those people were all wearing the Peerless School's outer sect disciples uniform, and there was not one from the Beiming Manor and Phantom Valley.

"Master Du, there are only Peerless School disciples here. It should be that only the Peerless School have found it," Ye Qingtang said.

"Even if it's the Peerless School, it's inconvenient for us to continue going further. I'm afraid that the treasures inside are already all taken away by them." Master Du lamented.

However, Ye Qingtang shook her head upon hearing that. "It shouldn't be."

"Brother Ye Chen, why do you think so?" Master Du wore a perplexed expression.

"This route to the Dragon Vein is guarded by only three Peerless School outer sect disciples, which is simply illogical. If they really destroyed the Diamond Boulder, there should be at least warden-level figure from the Peerless School guarding this place. How can it be three ordinary outer sect disciples?" Ye Qingtang explained.

834 Meticulous Thinking

Master Du was in deep thought after hearing that.

What Ye Qingtang said made sense.

It should be that the Peerless School found this place by coincidence but was unable to destroy the Diamond Rock and unwilling to give up. Hence, they sent a few outer sect disciples to guard this place every day to prevent outsiders from going near it.

"Brother Ye Chen's thinking is meticulous. It seems that way to me as well. Let's settle those three Peerless School disciples first and then enter the Dragon Vein," Master Du said.

"There's no hurry."

Ye Qingtang shook her head. All of this was merely her conjecture. However, if there was a lapse in her conjecture such that the Peerless School had already demolished the Diamond Boulder and were inside the Dragon Vein right now, dealing with those three Peerless School disciples would definitely alarm the other powerful figures in the Dragon Vein, and the consequences would be disastrous. By then, neither of them needed to think of leaving the place alive.

Shock filled Master Du's face after hearing Ye Qingtang, and he could not help but look at Ye Qingtang for a while more. "Brother Ye Chen, you are young, but your thinking is truly admirable."

Then, Master Du decided to follow Ye Qingtang's advice and remain calm.

"Those three Peerless School disciples guard this place every day, and will definitely make a mistake. We should be able to know whether the Diamond Boulder was destroyed from their mouths," Ye Qingtang said with certainty.

Ye Qingtang and Master Du immediately kept their auras and walked forward.

They only stopped when they were less than 100 meters away from the three Peerless School disciples.

Ye Qingtang condensed the primordial qi in her body to the limits and maximized her hearing ability, seeming to wish to find out some information from the three people.

Until late night.

"Damn it. When will these days end? Why did the warden order us to guard this place every day?"

One of the Peerless School disciples complained angrily with indignation written all over his face.

Another Peerless School disciple scoffed after hearing that. "What is the point in complaining here? This is the warden's decision. We are merely outer sect disciples of the Peerless School, and naturally, we are considered as cheap labor."

"Be careful of what you say. If the warden knows what you all said, you would die ten times if you have ten lives!"

"Humph. There's nobody here anyway. Moreover, so be it if the Diamond Boulder that blocked this Dragon Vein's entrance is really destroyed. However, it has been so long, and the Diamond Boulder still remains there. It's a dead end, and there's simply no way to enter, but he still made us guard this place and kill anyone who comes near. Goddamn it, he seriously has nothing better to do."

In the dark, Ye Qingtang's lips tugged up slightly after hearing their conversation.

Master Du could not help but hold up his thumb at Ye Qingtang immediately. "Brother Ye Chen, you really predicted the events like a god. You even accurately guessed this…"

However, Ye Qingtang chuckled lightly. "They would definitely be resentful for guarding this place daily. Under these circumstances, complaining to each other is the best way of dealing with it."

"I really could not tell. You're so young but can actually think of things that ordinary people are unable to. Amazing." Master Du laughed softly.

A while later, Master Du's eyes flickered as he looked at those three Peerless School disciples in front, and he wanted to head forward.

However, at this critical juncture, Ye Qingtang grabbed the corner of Master Du's clothes and pulled him back once again.

"Brother Ye Chen, what are you doing?" Master Du looked at Ye Qingtang with a confused expression.

835 Appearance of A Supremacy

Since they knew that the Peerless School were still unable to destroy the Diamond Boulder, they only needed to deal with those three people directly that were guarding the place right now.

However, Ye Qingtang did not bother with Master Du and looked at the sky with a serious expression.

Noticing that, Master Du followed Ye Qingtang's gaze and scanned the air above.

Whiz!

In a flash, a piercing sound rang, and a light twinkled in the sky.

In the next second, an elderly in a Daoist robe descended from midair gradually.

"Oh… the Wintry Yin aura is so intense here, and it's even guarded by people. Could it be the entrance of the Dragon Vein?" The elderly in a Daoist robe mumbled to himself.

Ye Qingtang and Master Du watched that mysterious elderly, who appeared out of nowhere, in the dark without making a sound.

At this instant, the three Peerless School outer sect disciples looked at the elderly at the same time.

"Leave this place immediately or die!"

One of the Peerless School disciples shouted sternly at the elderly.

The elderly had a normal expression and did not seem to be angered.

"Brothers, can I ask if this place is the entrance to the Dragon Vein?" The elderly in a Daoist robe asked with a smile.

"You actually know about the Dragon Vein?" A Peerless School disciple asked with a deep voice.

"Haha, I have only heard about it." The elderly nodded.

"I originally intended to let you live, but since you know about the Dragon Vein and found this place, I'm afraid I can't let you leave this place alive today."

A Peerless School disciple unsheathed his sword sharply and walked towards the elderly in a Daoist robe with great strides.

"Ah. Are the younger generations on this mainland so irritable?" The elderly in a Daoist robe had a disappointed expression.

"What nonsense are you saying, old thing!" The Peerless School who wielded the sword shouted coldly.

"Little friend, upon seeing me, a Supremacy, you did not bow and even wielded a sword, wanting to take my life. I cannot spare your life today," the elderly in a Daoist robe said.

"Supremacy?"

The three Peerless School disciples exchanged a look and subsequently convulsed with laughter.

The most powerful realm on this mainland was merely the Yang Lord of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord. Where did a Supremacy come from!

In this world, only those whose skills had entered the Arcane Supremacy dared to refer to themselves as a Supremacy. Yet this Daoist priest called himself a Supremacy?!

Swoosh!

Without seeing the elderly in a Daoist robe do anything, the armed disciple's head was slashed as he was laughing, and blood spattered all over the yellow sand.

When this sight fell in the eyes of the other two Peerless School disciples, the unbridled laughter stopped immediately, and disbelief filled their faces.

Since they could become the outer sect disciples of Peerless School, their martial endowments and skills were already classified as superb. Their skills were about the same as that of the Grand Elders of ordinary sects and were at least at the Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three.

Yet, the two Peerless School disciples did not even see the elderly in a black robe strike. It was as though their senior brother's neck broke by itself…

"This…"

Astonished, the two Peerless School disciples retreated instinctively.

Swoosh!

The elderly in a Daoist robe raised his right arm gently with a smile.

In a flash, another Peerless School disciple's skull exploded and shot out.

"Ah… How… How can this be!" The last remaining Peerless School disciple was extremely shaken.

836 Despair

The last remaining Peerless School disciple looked at the elderly in a Daoist robe and was extremely aghast.

One of the two Peerless School disciples he slaughtered just now had already reached a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord and was extremely likely to enter Peerless School's inner sect. Thus, there was no doubt about his martial skills…

However, that Peerless School who possessed the skills of a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord was not able to counterattack nor even see clearly how and when the elderly attacked.

Yet, when he returned to his senses, two skulls had already left their bodies and were shot to the sky!

Even if one was an early-stage Yin Yang Perfected Lord, he would definitely be unable to achieve that!

When the last Peerless School disciple personally witnessed his two senior brothers being slain by the elderly in a Daoist robe, his feet turned cold, and it was as though his entire body was enveloped by an invisible fear.

"Senior… Spare my life, Senior!"

As he saw the elderly in a Daoist robe walk towards him, all color was drained from that disciple's face. His body was already drenched in cold sweat and weakened. He knelt before the elderly in a Daoist robe immediately and pleaded bitterly with a trembling voice.

The last Peerless School disciple was not foolish. This person killed his two senior brothers instantly, and one of them was even a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

Evidently, the skills of the elderly in a Daoist robe were already extremely scary, and he definitely not someone he could fight against.

Even if he tried to escape, there was probably no way out.

Currently, if that Peerless School disciple wanted to live, he had no choice other than begging that elderly in a Daoist robe to spare his life.

That elderly in a Daoist robe walked to the Peerless School disciple swiftly, and there was slight sympathy in his eyes when he saw the Peerless School disciple kowtowing non-stop while begging for forgiveness.

"Senior, forgive me please!" Facing a death threat, that Peerless School disciple wept bitter tears with extreme fear imminent in his voice.

"Senior, I failed to recognize your honor and glory and offended you. I know my mistake, I really do! I beg you, senior. I am only fifteen years old this year. I was insensible and stupid. I beg you, senior. Please let me off…"

"Ah."

The elderly in a Daoist robe shook his head as he watched the Peerless School disciple begging piteously and let out a helpless sigh. "Why are people like this? Only after causing huge trouble would one know that they were wrong and would they admit their mistake."

"Senior… Senior, I was wrong. I'm still young and insensible… Please spare my life, senior…" The last Peerless School disciple's body trembled continuously as fear consumed him.

"Look up."

The elderly in a Daoist robe spoke.

After hearing that, the youth raised his head up slowly. His reddened eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the elderly uneasily. Currently, all his imposing manner was already gone from his face, leaving behind only fear and despair.

"You asked me to forgive you. If my skills were worse than you all earlier on, wouldn't I have been killed by you all?" The elderly in a Daoist robe told the Peerless School disciple.

"Senior, I really know that I'm wrong… I know I'm wrong… I am only fifteen. I'm insensible…"

837 Despair 2

"Please give me a chance to turn over a new leaf… I'm begging you!!" The youth's body trembled, and he implored continuously, wishing to find a means of survival from this despair.

"Ah… Are you only fifteen years old?" The elderly in a Daoist robe sighed softly, and a trace of refusal emerged in his eyes when he saw the Peerless School disciple's young-looking face.

"Yes, senior. I really dare not lie to you! I… I am really only fifteen years old." The youth replied honestly. As he saw that the elderly in a Daoist robe had eased up a little, hope arose in him immediately.

"Do you really know that you're wrong?" The elderly in a Daoist robe hesitated for a moment and asked.

"I know that I'm in the wrong! I really know that I'm in the wrong and definitely will not dare to do it again. I swear to god!" The youth clutched onto this last thread of survival and immediately pointed to the sky with three fingers in an act of swearing.

"Will you really change your ways in the future and not bully the old and weak?" The elderly in a Daoist robe asked the youth again.

"Yes, I'll definitely not!" The youth nodded with a firm expression, afraid that any hesitation would offend this elderly in a Daoist robe.

"If you realized this earlier, wouldn't there be no trouble at all?" The elderly in a Daoist robe sighed softly as he looked at the youth, seeming to be expecting better from him.

"You lectured me correctly. From now on, I will definitely remember your words and not dare to do it again!" the youth said hurriedly. If he knew that the skills of this elderly in a Daoist robe were so high, he definitely would not dare to offend him no matter how bold he was!

"Alright. Let me ask you: were those two senior brothers of yours in the wrong?" The elderly in a Daoist robe asked suddenly.

"They were in the wrong!" The youth nodded immediately.

"Do they deserve to die?" The elderly in a Daoist robe asked again.

"They deserve to die!" The youth replied without hesitation.

"Do you deserve to die then?" The elderly in a Daoist robe asked.

"Deserve to die!" The youth replied instinctively.

However…

The moment this Peerless School disciple finished his sentence, the elderly in a Daoist robe used his palm as a knife and slit the disciple's neck immediately.

In an instant, the youth was slaughtered, and his skull flew into the sky. Large gushes of blood spouted out like a fountain, and an intense smell of blood filled the air.

The detached skull still had a look of disbelief on its face.

Most likely, at the moment that Peerless School disciple died, he was still unable to understand why his last thread of survival was actually snipped off without a sound.

With a thud, the youth's skull landed on the ground and cracked into pieces.

"Very good. You indeed know that you're wrong. I am extremely gratified." The elderly in a Daoist robe had a relieved expression as he looked at the youth's headless body collapsing onto the ground.

Even Ye Qingtang shuddered upon witnessing the sight in the dark.

The skills of that elderly in a Daoist robe were granted, yet he gave that Peerless School disciple so much hope earlier on, as though he would let him off.

In the end, however, that elderly in a Daoist robe crushed that youth's hope instantly!

That youth probably would not have thought that the hope he was given would actually be destroyed at that moment.

The change in his mind was from one end to the other, and it was even scarier than killing that youth…

From aside, Master Du watched the bloody scene with a deep frown without saying anything.

838 Exposed

A while later, Ye Qingtang and Master Du witnessed that elderly crush the youth's headless corpse without any change in his expression.

Subsequently, that elderly in a Daoist robe left a ground of blood and walked towards the underground lair.

Before long, explosion sounds blared from within the underground lair.

It was so loud and was as if it could pierce one's eardrums.

This deafening sound persisted for an hour before stopping gradually.

A long time later, the elderly in a Daoist robe walked out from the underground lair with a cold expression. "There's actually a Diamond Boulder blocking the way. How unlucky!"

Master Du smiled at Ye Qingtang after hearing that.

That Diamond Boulder could only be destroyed with an Extraordinary Flame or if the skills of the elderly in a Daoist robe reached the Arcane Supremacy level.

However, the spirit energy on this mainland was extremely thin, and even if that elderly was really an Arcane Supremacy, his martial level would also be suppressed to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm once he entered this mainland.

In other words, as long as that elderly did not possess an Extraordinary Flame, he would definitely be unable to destroy that Diamond Boulder on this mainland!

Ye Qingtang was also relieved then. Since the elderly in a Daoist robe could not break the Diamond Boulder, he would leave this place, and by then, she and Master Du could use the Extraordinary Flame to destroy it.

"I'm so mad. I'm really so mad. I found an entrance to the Dragon Vein after much difficulty, but it actually can't be opened!!" The elderly in a Daoist robe yelled.

However, the moment he finished his sentence, he looked at the place where Ye Qingtang and Master Du were hiding at and said, "I'm in a bad mood. Come out quickly, you all."

Both Ye Qingtang and Master Du were stunned to hear that.

This elderly in a Daoist robe actually knew where both of them were?!

The two of them were actually exposed from the start…

Aware that they were exposed and that the other party's skills were very powerful, Ye Qingtang took the lead and immediately walked out from the dark. She smiled at the elderly and said, "Greetings, Supremacy Senior."

Rapidly, Master Du walked out from the dark as well and followed beside Ye Qingtang with a nervous expression.

"Very good. You are very tactful, unlike those three youngsters who don't even know to respect the old and cherish the young." The elderly in a Daoist robe nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Ye Qingtang had a good attitude.

"Supremacy Senior, just now was the first time we saw an Arcane Supremacy. Thus, we were agitated and did not dare to show ourselves. Please forgive us, Supremacy." Ye Qingtang confessed with a smile, and her attitude was extremely humble and respectful.

"Haha… Junior, you're very smart… If it's on the usual days, I would definitely not argue with you… however…" At this point, a glint flashed across his eyes, and his attitude changed suddenly. "I'm in a very bad mood right now!"

As the elderly in a Daoist robe spoke, he struck Ye Qingtang with a palm.

"Careful, Ye Chen!" Master Du's expression changed immediately. He never expected that this elderly would attack Ye Qingtang so suddenly!

This elderly's speed was seriously too fast, and compared to him, the current Ye Qingtang was no different from an ant. It would only take a moment if the elderly wanted to kill her!

Even though Ye Qingtang had a good eye and could see the action and trajectory of the elderly's attacks, it was simply impossible for her to dodge it given her current skill level.

839 Intelligence

Although the elderly's Arcane Supremacy realm was suppressed, his Supremacy aura was not weakened at all, and it had completely repressed Ye Qingtang, rendering her unable to move.

"F*ck. How dare you touch my person!" The little white tiger's eyes flickered immediately. When he was about to burn all the stored energy in its body and go all out against that elderly in a Daoist robe, an apathetic laugh traveled into everyone's ears.

"Ha… Interesting."

The elderly in a Daoist robe stopped his movement instantly and looked at the direction of the voice.

At that instant, a male youth slowly walked into everyone's line of sight.

The male youth was donned in white, and his every movement was cultured and refined. He had an extremely handsome appearance, and it seemed as if he walked out from a painting, completely unlike a human from earth.

"Ling Yan…" The elderly in a Daoist robe was slightly taken aback to see that male youth.

"Soul Eater Daoist, you're a dignified Arcane Supremacy, but you're bullying a lady when you just arrived in this mainland. It's not too good if this news is spread," the youth in white, who was called Ling Yan by the elderly, said with a smile.

"Ling Yan?!"

Almost instinctively, Ye Qingtang looked at the cultured and refined male.

Although Ye Qingtang had never met Ling Yan in her previous life, he had a well-known reputation!

Ling Yan was the Third Prince of Eternal Dynasty. His martial endowments were extremely mediocre, but his intelligence was no different from that of a demon's!

Ling Yan's frightening intelligence once allowed him to toy a peak Arcane Supremacy to death when he was only at Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One!

Before Ling Yan, any wise person could only admire him greatly.

Many years later, a certain prodigy in Central Mainland started the Emperor Bloodline and trampled over all other six dynasties to become the most powerful dynasty in Central Mainland. Nonetheless, that prodigy did not dare to touch the Eternal Dynasty all in fear of Ling Yan, who did not have much martial skill…

Demon-like wisdom—in the entire world, only Ling Yan was worthy of this description…

"Ling Yan, just you alone?" Soul Eater Daoist scanned Ling Yan's surroundings and used the power of his spirit to peep miles around, but he discovered that Ling Yan's people were not nearby.

After a cultivator entered the Arcane Supremacy realm, he could condense his soul, which was extremely useful. Higher than the Arcane Supremacy, a Heavenly Venerate could peer into thousands of miles around himself with their Divine Sense, and every single movement and object would not escape their spirit's scanning.

"Ha…" Ling Yan chuckled. "Soul Eater Daoist, don't worry. It's only me."

"Oh… It's only you, but you still dare to appear before me?!" Soul Eater Daoist's eyes flickered, and a thought of killing Ling Yan arose in him instantly.

"I came to let you kill me, and indeed, I told you that there's no one in my surroundings, but you still aren't killing me." Ling Yan's lips tugged up slightly into a devilish smile as he stood with his hands behind him, appearing as though he would definitely not resist.

"You…" Soul Eater Daoist clenched his teeth as he wished he could rush forward and chop Ling Yan's head off. However, his rationality forbade him from doing so.

Given Ling Yan's demon-like intelligence, he clearly knew that he would die without a doubt after meeting Soul Eater Daoist, but how could he appear here without bringing anyone and let Soul Eater Daoist kill him as he wished?!

"Why? Are you so timid?" Ling Yan roared with laughter. "Soul Eater Daoist, you're truly more foolish the older you become. I'm only at the Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three. As a Supremacy, do you actually not dare to step forward?"

"You… You… You!" Soul Eater Daoist gritted his teeth, and his face was flushed, making it evident that he was infuriated.

840 Play A Game

Nonetheless, the enraged Soul Eater Daoist did not dare to go near Ling Yan at all.

In Eternal Dynasty and even the entire Central Mainland, this man had the equivalent of zero martial skills, yet he played the world in his hands.

"Soul Eater Daoist, perhaps, my head is more valuable than the treasures in the Dragon Vein. Now that I have sent myself here for you to behead me, are you really going to give up on this chance?" Ling Yan sized up Soul Eater Daoist with a penetrating gaze that seemed to be able to see through everyone clearly.

At this instant, Soul Eater Daoist's eyes flickered persistently.

However, he scoffed after a long while. "Heh heh. Ling Yan… don't think that I don't know what game you're playing. You're simply goading me… According to my guess, your guards should be finding the Dragon Vein nearby. Thus, you're merely making an empty show of strength. Do you think that I will be scared and toyed by you?"

After hearing Soul Eater Daoist, Ling Yan's lips curled up slightly into a devilish smile.

Ling Yan stretched his arm out immediately and curled his index finger with his palm facing upward. "Since you saw through it, why aren't you coming to kill me? Come over. Don't disappoint me."

Soul Eater Daoist stood at the same spot and was in deep thought for a long time. Eventually, he scoffed and said, "Ling Yan, I have no time to talk nonsense with you today… The next time I meet you, I'll definitely take your lowly life!"

After finishing his sentence, Soul Eater Daoist rushed to the sky immediately and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that Soul Eater Daoist actually fled without fighting, Master Du could not help but inspect the youth in white.

"Where is this person from? I see that his martial aura is at most at the Martial Qi Level Three realm, but even an Arcane Supremacy was scared away. How unbelievable." Master Du told Ye Qingtang softly.

What kind of concept was an Arcane Supremacy? Any figure above the Yin Yang Perfected Lord could easily crush a Yin Yang Perfected Lord with a finger, and a Martial Qi Level Three was like an ant in the eyes of an Arcane Supremacy.

"Ling Yan, Central Mainland… Eternal Dynasty's Third Prince…" Ye Qingtang muttered softly and peered at the man in white.

At that moment, Ling Yan's galaxy-like eyes similarly landed on Ye Qingtang with a seeming smile.

"Many thanks."

Ye Qingtang thanked Ling Yan with cupped fists very quickly.

Ling Yan walked towards Ye Qingtang and said, "You seem to be familiar with me."

"What are you saying, Young Sir? This is the first time we met," Ye Qingtang said.

However, Ling Yan shook his head and explained. "Words may lie, but eyes will not… Your eyes tell me that we have met before in the past."

Ye Qingtang was taken aback.

Everyone said that Ling Yan's intelligence was demon-like, but she never thought that he could analyze all of that from just her careless gaze…

"Young Sir Ling Yan, I am a cultivator on this mainland. The spirit energy here is thin, and there are very few cultivators who headed to the outside world. Furthermore, I'm only at a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord Realm. How is it possible for me to head to the mainland that you're from and meet you before this?" Ye Qingtang smiled.

"That's right." Ling Yan nodded, and the corners of his lips tugged up subsequently. "But it's strange exactly because of that."

"How about you and I… play a game?" Ling Yan looked at Ye Qingtang with a seeming smile.

841 You Are Reborn

"Play a game…"

Ye Qingtang's brows furrowed slightly after she heard Ling Yan. "Young Sir Ling Yan, your martial skills are only at Martial Qi Level Three while I am already a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord. It is extremely easy if I want to kill you. Are you really not afraid that I would kill you if you talk to me with this attitude?"

However, Ling Yan shook his head immediately. "You don't dare to."

"I don't dare to?" Ye Qingtang's eyes flickered, and a murderous glint emerged.

"There's no need to test me." Ling Yan patted Ye Qingtang's left shoulder and said. "Since you're from this mainland, family clan, sect, and everything you care about is here. If you kill me, everything you care about will be destroyed and turned into dust. Who would take such a huge risk because of a stranger that he has never met before?"

Ye Qingtang sighed, and her grip on the sword handle loosened immediately.

Noticing it, Ling Yan laughed and said, "So our game should have begun already."

"Young Sir Ling Yan, what do you mean by playing a game?" Ye Qingtang questioned.

"First, let me confirm… your identity." Ling Yan looked at Ye Qingtang.

"Identity?" Ye Qingtang chuckled.

It was the first time Ling Yan came to this mainland and also the first time he met her. No matter how smart Ling Yan was, he would definitely be unable to see through her identity.

"Are you…" Ling Yan scanned Ye Qingtang for a long time before continuing. "reborn?"

"WHAT?!"

Almost instinctively, Ye Qingtang unsheathed her sword immediately and stared at Ling Yan in shock.

"Oh… this action… It seems that I guessed correctly?" Ling Yan smiled.

Ye Qingtang kept her sword and reorganized her emotions. "What are you talking about, Young Sir Ling Yan? I don't understand what reborn is. Please resolve my confusion, Young Sir Ling Yan."

"Nothing much. I was just making a joke casually. You don't need to take it seriously, Miss." Ling Yan smiled.

The current Ye Qingtang had already resumed her female appearance.

"I believe you will confess your identity to me on your own later on." Ling Yan added.

Not waiting for Ye Qingtang to speak, Ling Yan asked, "Aren't you curious how I know that you are reborn?"

Surprise emerged in Ye Qingtang's eyes.

This Ling Yan had long seen through one's mind…

"You don't need to worry that this will leak out. I've closed the five senses of the elderly beside you, and your two spirit pets have already fallen asleep," Ling Yan said.

Ye Qingtang looked at Master Du almost instinctively.

Indeed, Master Du stood rooted to the ground with a blank expression, as though he knew nothing about everything before him.

The little white tiger and little lightning dragon were already snoring.

"You must be thinking about how I know all of this and what motives I have exactly." Ling Yan walked to a rock and sat on it casually.

"I really don't know what you're talking about." Ye Qingtang frowned.

"Miss, looking from karma, you are fated to meet me," Ling Yan said.

"Karma…" Ye Qingtang narrowed her eyes.

It was rumored that Ling Yan possessed the karma bloodline and could predict the causality of everything.

"Everyone said that life is predestined by the heavens. However, destiny is merely reaping the effect of whatever cause one sowed." Ling Yan waved his right arm as he spoke.

In the next second, an illusory natal chart appeared before Ye Qingtang's eyes.

"Look. This is my karmic natal chart." Ling Yan pointed at the illusory natal chart.

842 Predestined

Ye Qingtang sized up Ling Yan's karmic natal chart. Just like a chess game, the first half of his fate was already predestined, but the latter half of the natal chart was vague.

"What does it mean?" Ye Qingtang asked.

"The first half of my natal chart is what I have done in my life and cannot be changed, while the latter half is so vague because I have not sowed any cause. Thus, there's no way of having an effect… Destiny is held in one's hands. Even if the heavens want to predestine someone's life, it will merely guide him to do some things… For example, if the heavens want you to die, it will definitely lead you to lay some foundations like suiciding out of sorrow and grief. These sorrowful events are the cause, and your suicide is the effect. One would never die for no reason. Destiny is about causality. If the heavens want you to go insane, it will definitely cause you to swell with emotions. In that case, swelling is the cause, and insanity is the effect." Ling Yan smiled.

Ye Qingtang was not clear and did not really understand what karma was.

"In other words, the heavens are unable to predestine a person's life and will only lead you to do some things to achieve the destiny that the heavens want to. It's like your destiny is to be slaughtered by a powerful figure eventually, so the heavens would definitely lead you to do things that will anger the powerful figure. Thus, destiny is actually held in your own hands."

"This is why the karmic natal chart for the rest of your life is so vague and empty?" Ye Qingtang asked.

"That's right. I have not done anything in the latter half of my life; thus, the natal chart is so empty." Ling Yan replied with a smile.

Although Ye Qingtang still could not understand, she roughly understood the general idea.

"But what made me curious is your natal chart."

Then, Ling Yan waved his arm, and another illusory karmic natal chart appeared before Ye Qingtang once again.

"This natal chart…" Ye Qingtang inspected the illusory natal chart. The karmic destiny on it was already arranged in order like an old person who had finished living his life.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"It's your natal chart," Ling Yan said.

"Mine?!" A trace of surprise emerged in Ye Qingtang's eyes immediately.

Going by what Ling Yan said, how could her karmic natal chart already be predestined?!

"Look at your natal chart. How miserable." Ling Yan chuckled and subsequently faded that karmic natal chart away.

"It's said that Ling Yan's intelligence is like that of a demon. You can predict all sorts of details just from a few pieces of information of one's karma. Admirable." Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan and said.

Ling Yan's expression remained the same. "So you're admitting that you are reborn."

"However, I still don't know what you're talking about," Ye Qingtang said.

"In this world, fighting with Emperor-level figures and true gods… is no better than fighting with the heavens. The outcome of your natal chart is already predestined. If I can change your destiny… Doesn't it prove that I am more powerful than it?" Ling Yan pointed to the sky as he spoke.

"This person…" Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan. He was simply a complete lunatic. His ambitions were so frightening, and he actually wants to fight with the heavens?!

"How about bringing me to the Dragon Vein?" Ling Yan asked.

"Although this place is the entrance to the Dragon Vein, there is a Diamond Boulder below," Ye Qingtang said.

"You can destroy it then." Ling Yan smiled.

"Even an Arcane Supremacy cannot break it. How can I be able to?" Ye Qingtang shook her head, instinctively wanting to stay further away from this man.

843 Complete Control

Ling Yan looked at Ye Qingtang meaningfully and said, "Since you hid here and waited for a long time, it proves that you have a way of destroying the Diamond Boulder and entering the Dragon Vein. Am I correct?"

"It's impossible for me to bring you into the Dragon Vein," Ye Qingtang said coldly.

"No. You will definitely bring me along." Ling Yan chuckled.

"Sure. Let's try then." A glint flashed across Ye Qingtang's eyes. She did not believe that Ling Yan could force her to bring him along.

"I have a teacher… who is also at the Arcane Supremacy realm. However, he had already relied on the Crown Prince and is following by my side only to pry for information or to find a chance to kill me… If I did not guess wrongly, his Divine Sense has already noticed that you and I have been talking for a long time. If I am not by your side, don't you think that my teacher would believe that we are related and catch you for interrogation?" Ling Yan said softly.

"You!"

Ye Qingtang was immediately infuriated after hearing Ling Yan's words. This Ling Yan had already planned everything the moment he appeared!

Apart from herself, Soul Eater Daoist and even his teacher were all under his complete control.

"Are you really not afraid that I'd kill you!"

Ye Qingtang drew out her sword sharply and pointed it at Ling Yan.

Ling Yan's martial skills were only at the Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three, and it was very easy if she really wanted to kill him!

"Haha." Ling Yan shook his head and laughed. "You don't wish to kill me. You wish to make this stance for my teacher to see, and you believe that as long as you draw the line with me, my teacher would not find you."

Ye Qingtang felt that she was about to go crazy after listening to Ling Yan's words. Why could Ling Yan see through what she was thinking about? Was he a monster?!

"Yes, that's my intention. So what?" Ye Qingtang said coldly

"By doing this, my teacher would only think that we are very close and that I taught you everything. It will produce the opposite of the desired result instead," Ling Yan said.

At this instant, Ye Qingtang finally experienced for herself what that Soul Eater Daoist felt earlier on.

"Ling Yan, you already schemed against me from when you appeared," Ye Qingtang said.

The corners of Ling Yan's lips tugged up into a devilish smile.

Ye Qingtang did not know why she would have any relation with Ling Yan. How truly unlucky she was!

"Do you agree to bring me to the Dragon Vein already?" Ling Yan asked curiously.

"No!" Ye Qingtang said coldly.

"Oh… Actually, you only feel that you have no face anymore. However, you're only a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord. Back then, a Heavenly Venerate also lost face before me and even almost lost his life. Thus, as a lady, you really don't need to care too much about your face." Ling Yan chuckled.

Ultimately, Ye Qingtang sighed and said, "You are amazing. I will bring you to the Dragon Vein, but you better not hinder me."

"That is a given. My skills are worse than yours. If I really harbor evil designs towards you, you can kill me easily." Ling Yan responded.

"Cut the crap. Release your spell and let them regain consciousness," Ye Qingtang said.

The next second, Master Du shivered slightly, and he scanned the surroundings in surprise.

"Fuck. I actually fell asleep… I must be too tired these few days… How pitiful am I… Ah…" The little white tiger yawned and muttered.

"Master Du, let's go," Ye Qingtang said.

Master Du was stunned to hear that. "You mean… bringing him along?"

844 Flee

"Senior, in any case, I rescued you all just now. Bringing me along to the Dragon Vein should not be overboard." Ling Yan told Master Du with a smile.

"It seems to be reasonable…" Master Du nodded eventually.

If this man did not appear just now, the consequences would be dire. Moreover, this person's martial skills were only at the Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three, and there was no need to worry about anything.

"Let's go." Ye Qingtang waved and walked towards the underground lair.

A while later, Ling Yan followed Ye Qingtang into the underground lair, where the Diamond Boulder laid right ahead.

This Diamond Boulder was extremely sturdy and could even be matched with Millennium Meteoric Iron. It was a pity that it could not be a refining material like the Millennium Meteoric Iron. Otherwise, this would be shocking wealth.

A moment later, a golden flame floated in Ye Qingtang's palm.

As the golden flame clung onto the Diamond Boulder, the Diamond Boulder gradually turned into fragments.

Several hours later, Ye Qingtang finally destroyed the entire Diamond Boulder that blocked the way.

Ahead was a narrow and pitch-dark pathway which led to the Dragon Vein.

Very quickly, a golden flame that danced around Ye Qingtang lit the place.

Ye Qingtang and the others used the light from the golden flame and walked ahead in large strides.

An hour later, a terrifying roar rang from somewhere halfway through the pathway.

For a moment, Ye Qingtang and Master Du were on the alert as they sized up the surroundings.

Even the periphery of a Dragon Vein was also extremely dangerous, and both of them were aware of this.

"Sss."

"Sssssssss."

Unusual sounds were heard very quickly.

Master Du used the light to peer ahead.

Before long, a scarecrow that was made from straws appeared in everyone's line of sight.

"What is that thing?" Master Du had an odd expression. Why could that scarecrow stand straight and walk like a human?!

Before Ye Qingtang could say anything, several scarecrows appeared again.

"F*ck. Get lost. Don't block the way!" The little white tiger shouted coldly at those scarecrows.

However, as the little white tiger spoke, the roars that they heard before sounded from these scarecrows' mouths.

In the next second, an appalling demonic air appeared on those scarecrows' bodies.

"This is bad!"

Sensing the immense and frightening demonic air, Master Du had an expression of shock.

Not mentioning Master Du, even Ye Qingtang's expression changed as well. Each of those scarecrows was nearly as skilled as Falling Sky Valley's Full Moon Peak Master, Xuanyuan Yi!

In a flash, several scarecrows charged towards Ye Qingtang and Master Du.

"Run!"

Master Du yelled and ran away.

Ye Qingtang did not hesitate either and fled when those scarecrows appeared.

Only Ling Yan was held behind by the scarecrows as his martial skills were weaker.

At this instant, Ye Qingtang did not have the mind to care about Ling Yan as they were not even friends, and he even teased her a few times since appearing.

"Ah…" Blocked by two of the scarecrows, Ling Yan shook his head and sighed. "What kind of friend is this to leave me behind and flee on your own."

Swoosh!

As he spoke, two scarecrows cried and wanted to rip Ling Yan apart.

At the same time, a black gourd appeared in Ling Yan's hand.

All of the demonic air on those scarecrows was actually sucked away by the black gourd.

In the next second, without the demonic air, the scarecrows split into pieces.

845 Everlasting Flower

At this very moment, Ye Qingtang's speed had already reached the maximum, and she turned into a bolt of light.

While the scarecrows' skills were frightening, they were not fast and were already shaken off by Ye Qingtang in no time.

However, it was only when she looked back did she realize that she was the only one there. It was unknown whether Ling Yan was still alive or not while Master Du had separated from her.

"F*ck. I was scared to death!"

The little white tiger leaped into Ye Qingtang's arms immediately.

"You are a Fiendcelestial Beast…" Ye Qingtang stared at the little white tiger speechlessly.

"So what if I'm a Fiendcelestial Beast… Those scarecrows are monsters… They must have appeared to eat me!" the little white tiger said seriously.

Ye Qingtang darted a look at the little white tiger. Those scarecrows did not even look at it in the eye, alright?!

"It has nothing to do with you." Ye Qingtang could not help but say.

However, the little white tiger rolled its eyes Ye Qingtang after hearing it. "You're too narcissistic. Each of those scarecrows has the combat power of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven. If they're not here to find me, are they here to find you?"

For a moment, Ye Qingtang actually did not have anything to counter back.

Then, Ye Qingtang's eyes landed on a boulder not far away. For some reason, she felt that there was something strange about it.

"What are you looking at!"

The boulder actually made a noise out of a sudden.

"F*ck!" Almost instantly, the little white tiger jumped up in fear and hid in Ye Qingtang's embrace. "Monster!"

Ye Qingtang frowned and walked towards the boulder. Looking at it carefully, it was also Diamond Boulder.

A talking stone…

"What are you?" Ye Qingtang asked curiously.

"It's more like what are you!" The Diamond Boulder shouted at Ye Qingtang furiously.

Ye Qingtang inspected it attentively. It was indeed a boulder…

Moreover, there was an extremely pretty flower at the top of the boulder.

"Everlasting Flower?!"

Upon seeing it, Ye Qingtang's heart raced, and her body trembled slightly.

It was said that the Everlasting Flower was sacred, and anyone who consumed it had a chance of obtaining the powers of immortality. It was an item that could make it very likely for an Arcane Supremacy to advance to the Heavenly Venerate successfully!

It was a sacred item that was sufficient for all the powerful figures in the First Domain to go crazy over!

"Looking at your thievish eyes, it must be that you want to snatch my treasure!" The Diamond Boulder moved backward as it spoke.

Then, Ye Qingtang immediately rushed forward and stretched a hand out to pluck the Everlasting Flower.

However, the Diamond Boulder was extremely quick and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Quickly help me to catch it!" Ye Qingtang told the little white tiger in her arms immediately. That Diamond Boulder was too fast, and there was no way for Ye Qingtang to chase after it given her current skills.

"I'm scared. I'm not going!" The little white tiger shook its head repeatedly.

As it spoke, the Diamond Boulder had already vanished without a trace and could not be found anywhere.

"Everlasting Flower!"

Ye Qingtang's eyes were burning. If she obtained the Everlasting Flower…

Yet, it was a pity that she missed the one chance just like this.

Ye Qingtang no longer bothered with the little white tiger and searched for Master Du in the surroundings. Nonetheless, after searching for several hours, he was nowhere to be found. On the other hand, Ye Qingtang also met many strange monsters. Thus, she could only retreat and walk towards the real Dragon Vein.

Half a day later, a ray of light shone ahead.

With the little white tiger in her arms, Ye Qingtang walked ahead cautiously.

846 Cannot Defeat I

When Ye Qingtang walked to the end, she realized that the light was shining from ahead, and there was a massive, heaven-like mountain valley outside.

Standing at the end of the pathway, Ye Qingtang could even hear the sound of flowing water and chirping of birds.

"This… Is the Dragon Vein in the mountain valley?" The little white tiger sized up the mountain valley with curiosity etched on its face.

Ye Qingtang remained silent for a moment and replied. "It should be that the spirit energy in this place condensed into an independent Small World."

This situation was not considered rare. Back when Ye Qingtang was at her peak, she saw many instances of spirit energy condensing into a Small World, and sometimes, there were even humans in a mystic realm in the Second Domain. Those humans who were condensed by the mystic realm had terrifying combat powers—almost that of an Emperor-level figure—and were even more intelligent. They possessed their independent consciousness and saw themselves as the real humans.

Associating it with the Dragon Vein's situation, it seemed to be rather similar to those scary mystic realms that Ye Qingtang saw in the Second Domain back then.

"Diamond Boulder…"

In the next second, Ye Qingtang saw that the Diamond Boulder that hosted the Everlasting Flower actually appeared in a stream and was moving its body leisurely.

"F*ck. A rotten stone is actually bathing!" The little white tiger widened its eyes and could not refrain from swearing.

"Chase after it," Ye Qingtang said with a frown.

However, the little white tiger shook its head. "Are you going to pluck its Everlasting Flower or courting death?"

"Of course to pluck the Everlasting Flower." Ye Qingtang had an odd expression in her eyes as she did not know why would the little white tiger say that.

"So… you're not afraid of being beaten to death by that rotten stone?" The little white tiger stared at Ye Qingtang even more strangely.

Immediately, Ye Qingtang sized up the Golden Boulder in the stream, but she could not tell what threat it would be to her.

"The speed that it ran away just now is at least that of a human Yin Yang Perfected Lord Sixth Heaven or Seventh Heaven. If you look for it, I'm afraid it'll kill us both." The little white tiger rolled its eyes at Ye Qingtang.

"That may not be so. Xiao Guai is extremely fast as well," Ye Qingtang said.

"That's true too. That rotten wolf's speed is not ordinary." The little white tiger nodded and subsequently looked around its surroundings. "Eh… where's the wolf?"

When the little white tiger said that, Ye Qingtang was alarmed and looked around hurriedly.

However, the silver wolf was already nowhere to be seen.

Ye Qingtang hit her forehead in frustration. Xiao Guai is lost!

"Where did that rotten wolf go to…" The little white tiger mumbled. After a moment, it seemed to recall something and said immediately, "F*ck. I remember already! When we encountered those scarecrows just now, the rotten wolf was the first to run. It was too fast and vanished in an instant!"

Ye Qingtang was a little relieved after hearing that. All was good as long as Xiao Guai was not in danger.

"Look. At such critical moments, whatever wolf and ball are all not reliable." The little white tiger scoffed.

"Ball? What ball?" Ye Qingtang did not understand.

"Black ball," the little white tiger said.

"Black ball?" Ye Qingtang was even more confused.

"Look, that rotten stone ran away!" The little white tiger looked at the bottom of the mountain valley.

Ye Qingtang looked over after hearing, and indeed, the Diamond Boulder had already left the stream.

"I can smell a dangerous air on that stone. I'm afraid that even if we joined forces, we may not be able to defeat it." The little white tiger commented thoughtfully.

847 Opening of The Dragon Vein

Since the little white tiger said that, it proved that the Diamond Boulder from earlier on was not simple.

"That stone did not provoke you. Why do you want to snatch the flower on its head?" The little white tiger asked.

Ye Qingtang looked puzzled after hearing the little white tiger. "How can it be called snatching? Everything in this Dragon Vein is formed by spirit energy and does not have an owner. They're only waiting for fated people to retrieve them. Moreover, the Everlasting Flower is merely a useless decoration for that stone, but it's very meaningful to me."

The little white tiger nodded immediately. "Fuck. You're right. I forgot that everything in the Dragon Vein is transformed by the spirit energy on this mainland, including that rotten stone."

Currently, Ye Qingtang did not continue to think of the Everlasting Flower and was instead worried about the safety of Master Du and the silver wolf.

There were too many strange creatures in this Dragon Vein, and even Yin Yang Perfected Lord monsters existed. If Master Du and Xiao Guai encountered those monsters, it would be difficult for them to escape.

Seeming to tell what Ye Qingtang was thinking of, the little white tiger said, "Don't worry too much. That damn wolf's speed is so fast and is as timid as a hare. If it is met with danger, no one would run faster than it, and there will definitely be no problem. As for that old man, he is not that simple either."

Regardless, Ye Qingtang could not return now either. There were at least hundreds of entrances and exits, and returning to find them was no different from finding a needle in a haystack. There was no way of finding them.

Xiao Guai and Master Du knew that the objective of this trip was the Dragon Vein and should be heading there as fast as possible too. Perhaps, they had already entered the Dragon Vein right now. Thus, she could search for them in there first. If all else failed, she would return again to search for them.

Eventually, under the little white tiger's urges, Ye Qingtang took a leap and landed in the mountain valley.

In the pitch-dark tunnel.

A handsome man with an outstanding quality walked ahead slowly with his hands behind him.

"Roar!"

Then, a furious roar sounded.

An extremely huge demonic beast ahead blocked the man's way.

Ling Yan was in thought as he looked at that demonic beast.

"Come out."

Then, a few scarecrows which possessed the combat power of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven were released from a black gourd.

Previously, Ling Yan used the black gourd to suck all of the scarecrows' murderous aura away, and presently, the murderous aura in the black gourd condensed again to form Ling Yan's creatures.

Very quickly, that demonic beast was surrounded by the scarecrows while Ling Yan walked towards the ray of light ahead rapidly without looking back.

"Interesting…"

As Ling Yan looked at the mountain valley behind the ray of light, his lips tugged up slightly, and he leaped down with a face full of smiles.

At the same time, numerous figures appeared in the periphery of the mountain valley.

"Yin Yang Child?"

After seeing the indifferent youth in the periphery of the mountain valley, the eyes an elderly clutching onto a gold scepter gleamed.

Swoosh!

An endless commanding power erupted from the gold scepter. In just a flash, that indifferent youth's head flew to the sky.

Upon hearing the sound of a battle, Ye Qingtang rapidly went closer and hid in a dark spot.

"That is Yin Yang Child?"

Ye Qingtang's brows were furrowed slightly.

These people were all from one of the eight dynasties of Central Mainland—talents on the Honor Roll List of Eternal Dynasty or itinerant cultivators with extremely powerful skills.

If that black-robed elderly holding onto the gold scepter was an itinerant cultivator, he seemed to have a complicated history with Yin Yang Child.

848 Glazed Cup

Ye Qingtang did not have any special relations with Yin Yang Child and had only met him a few times when she was in the Central Dynasty. Then, she felt that it was extremely unbelievable that he could enter Eternal Dynasty's Honor Roll List for the younger generation at such a young age.

Ye Qingtang frowned deeply when she saw Yin Yang Child's skull being cut off by the elderly's scepter instantly. While Yin Yang Child's martial skills were suppressed because he entered this mainland, that black-robed elderly faced the same treatment as well…

However, before Ye Qingtang could think deeply, she realized that Yin Yang Child's headless body did not collapse and instead took two steps forward.

In the next second, Yin Yang Child regrew a skull at a visible speed!

"Yin Yang Child…" The black-robed elderly was astonished. "You… actually possess the body of indestructibility!"

Emotionless, the youth stared at the elderly before him coldly. "What I hate most in my life is people calling me a child. You… make me very angry."

"Humph!" The black-robed elderly scoffed, and the valiant aura of an Arcane Supremacy emerged around him.

Although it was said that the spirit energy on this mainland was too thin, while both the martial realms of Yin Yang Child and the black-robed elderly were suppressed to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm, the overbearing manner of an Arcane Supremacy was, however, not weakened.

"I'm also an Arcane Supremacy. Are you thinking of using your overbearing manner to intimidate me?" Yin Yang Child asked coldly.

"Little thing. You've only entered the Arcane Supremacy for a while. How dare you be so insolent to me!" The black-robed elderly shouted angrily.

This shout was so powerful that even Ye Qingtang, who hid in the corner, could not help but frown deeply and turn pale.

Those people were already a Supremacy, and although the insufficient spirit energy caused their skills to be suppressed to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm, the current Ye Qingtang was like an ant when compared to them.

Swoosh!

Then, a gleam flashed across.

In a flash, the black-robed elderly's right arm was chopped off by the sword in Yin Yang Child's hand.

"How's that?" Yin Yang Child said indifferently without looking back.

Despite losing an arm, the black-robed elderly did not even frown, making it seem as though it was nothing important.

"Good… Yin Yang Child, I will not hound you. The enmity between us has deepened again because of this one arm." As the black-robed elderly spoke, his entire body faded and vanished from the place.

After the black-robed elderly left, Yin Yang Child's complexion seemed a little pale.

Although it was a body of indestructibility, he required a large supply of spirit energy to achieve it. However, the spirit energy on this mainland was overly thin, and it was a little difficult even for Yin Yang Child to bear with it.

Body of indestructibility. Ye Qingtang was in thought.

It was rumored that Yin Yang Child had a top blue spirit root that allowed him to understand the Paragon Skill, the body of indestructibility. As long as his heart was not destroyed and the spirit root was not reduced, he would not die.

"Glazed Cup…"

As Ye Qingtang was lost in her thoughts, she saw a Glazed Cup floating in the air.

There was an extremely rich spirit energy in the Glazed Cup, and if Ye Qingtang could obtain it, she could easily break through to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm!

Immediately, Ye Qingtang ignored Yin Yang Child and walked towards the Glazed Cup.

849 Destined To Be Single

A while later, Ye Qingtang walked several hundred meters and arrived right beneath the Glazed Cup.

Ye Qingtang leaped and took the Glazed Cup easily.

The moment the Glazed Cup was in her hands, intense spirit energy enveloped Ye Qingtang entirely, which gave her the impulse of advancing to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm…

The Glazed Cup was classified as an extremely precious treasure that could collect spirit energy. Leaving this mainland aside, it was also very rare in the Central Mainland. If it was placed in an auction in the Central Mainland, it could be auctioned off at a sky-high price.

Delight emerged in Ye Qingtang's eyes as she looked at the Glazed Cup in her hands.

Regardless of Beiming Manor, Peerless School, or Phantom Valley, the current her was too weak compared to them and all the more could not be mentioned on equal terms with the powerful figures from the Central Mainland.

Only by increasing her own martial cultivation realm could she reduce the gap.

Nevertheless, Ye Qingtang knew that there was not much time left for her. The Xuanling Sect masses were not yet rescued; the crisis of extermination which Master Perfected Xuanchen and Falling Sky Valley would face was not yet resolved; sometime later, that ancient family clan from the Central Mainland would come to collect the extraordinary lady's Spiritual Abode and completely destroy this mainland.

By then, everyone would be killed…

Yet, with the skills of only a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord currently, what could she do?!

Presently, Ye Qingtang had an inexplicable, urgent desire for power.

This desire for power was not for herself.

Ye Qingtang did not wish to be a so-called world savior; what she wanted and needed to do was to protect the lives of her family and friends, as well as ensure that they were safe as sound.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a piercing sound was heard.

With brows deeply furrowed, Ye Qingtang looked behind her only to see an aloof-looking youth walking towards her with great strides.

"You are a citizen of this mainland," said Yin Yang Child coldly after sizing up Ye Qingtang casually.

Yin Yang Child's sudden appearance caught Ye Qingtang off guard.

Nonetheless, Yin Yang Child had already discovered her, and Ye Qingtang could only face him. After all, she had no grudges with Yin Yang Child.

"Yes, I am." Ye Qingtang admitted straightforwardly.

"Very good." Yin Yang Child stretched his hand out and said. "Hand me the item in your hands, and you can leave."

"I found this item first, and it is already in my hands. Why must I hand it to you?" Ye Qingtang asked.

"Why?" Yin Yang Child took a few more looks at Ye Qingtang. "You are pretty courageous. Since you wish to know why, I can tell you too. The reason is very simple: I can kill you easily."

"So, because you are more powerful than me, I must offer you my things to you without complaints when you're snatching it from me?" Ye Qingtang questioned in a cold tone.

"Oh… Do all of the people from this mainland have such an unyielding character like you?" There were no emotions on Yin Yang Child's face as he added on. "You can stay by your unyielding character and die—that is the first route. The second route is to hand the Glazed Cup to me. Although you would lose your backbone, you still can live."

Ye Qingtang did not reply anything at this instant and was calculating how likely it was for her to survive when she battled with Yin Yang Child. If it was truly impossible, she needed to think of an escape plan.

However, before Ye Qingtang could think further, a laugh sounded from ahead. "Yin Yang Child, if you bully such a beautiful older sister like that, I'm afraid no ladies will ever like you given your character."

850 Vomit Blood From The Anger

Yin Yang Child scanned the surroundings upon hearing that. "Who called me child? Hurry out and receive your death."

After Yin Yang Child said that, a male with an almost perfect face walked out from the dark slowly. "I hate it the most when people tell me to receive my death, especially little children like you."

A harmless smile played on Ling Yan's lips. He first took a look at Ye Qingtang and subsequently fixed his eyes on Yin Yang Child.

"Ling Yan…"

After seeing the male, there was a hint of a ripple in Yin Yang Child's ever-icy eyes, and his brows were furrowed deeply.

While Ling Yan was utterly useless in terms of martial skill… Yin Yang Child regarded him highly.

"Ling Yan, I don't wish to see you. Leave. Otherwise, I'll kill you," Yin Yang Child said coldly.

However, Ling Yan sat on the ground cross-legged casually as though he did not hear anything and smiled innocently. "Since you don't wish to see me, you can get lost then."

"Ling Yan, are you really not afraid of dying?" Yin Yang Child asked with a frown.

"I am afraid of dying but not you." Ling Yan replied with a smile.

"Good. I'll kill you then." Yin Yang Child unsheathed his sword immediately and walked towards Ling Yan.

"Yin Yang Little Child, let's play a game… I believe that you don't dare to kill me." Ling Yan saw a murderous look in Yin Yang Child's eyes but was not at all frightened.

"Oh, I want to know why." Yin Yang Child looked at Ling Yan and replied without emotions.

"Before I came to this mainland, I stole your father's precious treasure, the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book, and hid it in a place that only I know of. If you kill me, your father will never find the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book, and you will be beaten by your father then." Ling Yan replied with a smile.

"What… You stole the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book?!"

As Ling Yan spoke, Yin Yang Child's expression changed drastically, and he shook his head. "That's not right. Why do I not know that the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book is missing?"

Ling Yan looked at Yin Yang Child as though he was an idiot. "You mean that I still need to inform you or your father after I stole the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book? If you're still unaware, it only shows that you all have not realized that the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book is stolen and that you cannot prove that the item is still there, isn't it?"

Yin Yang Child frowned in thought and did not know whether he should believe him or not.

"It's better for you to go home, good baby," Ling Yan said.

"Alright. Since you want to save her, you two must have a good relationship. I will kill her then!" Yin Yang Child pointed at Ye Qingtang and said.

"…" Ye Qingtang stared blankly at Yin Yang Child.

Was this Yin Yang Child's brain spoiled from the anger? What had this got to do with her!

"What has you killing her got to do with me?" Ling Yan shook his head and said. "This idiot. Why did your father give birth to such a stupid son like you?"

"What did you say!" Anger filled Yin Yang Child's face.

"There are many reasons for saving a person, and what you said is only one of them. There's another reason, which is that you're very unpleasant to my eye. Isn't it hitting two birds with one stone since I can save her and deride you?" Ling Yan chuckled.

"Alright. I will definitely kill her today. You wish to save her, but I just will not let you fulfill your wish!" Yin Yang Child yelled furiously.

"Don't repeat yourself already. Quickly kill then," Ling Yan said. "I'm already very impatient from waiting. However, given your father's reputation… if I return and say that his son killed someone to snatch a treasure and that someone was even a defenseless lady… don't you think that your father will vomit blood from the anger?"

851 A Little Less Trouble

Yin Yang Child was not afraid of anything in the world except his father, yet he was threatened using his father by Ling Yan right now, who used his father against him.

"I'm afraid my father is not as compassionate as you make it. So what if I kill a lady?" Yin Yang Child said coldly.

"Ha… This is interesting." Then, Ling Yan took out a black jade from his arms and played with it.

In the next second, however, Yin Yang Child's voice sounded from the jade. "I'm afraid my father is not as compassionate as you make it. So what if I kill a lady?"

"This jade can record a person's voice and repeat it countless times… Yin Yang Child, I remember that your father is currently preparing to contend for the Alliance Chief position. If I hand this stone when your father is contesting for the position and the sects hear it, do you think that your father… can still attain the position?" Ling Yan laughed chuckled.

"You… Ling Yan, how dare you scheme against me!" Yin Yang Child was completely infuriated by Ling Yan at that instant. "I'll kill you!"

"You don't want the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book anymore?" Ling Yan asked.

Both Ye Qingtang and Yin Yang Child were speechless.

"Give me the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book, and I'll spare your lives!" Yin Yang Child could not hold back his anger.

Ling Yan revealed the location of the book immediately.

"Ling Yan, you told me the location so easily… Are you not afraid that I'll go back on my words and kill you two?" There was doubt in Yin Yang Child's eyes.

"Aren't you afraid that I told you a fake location then?" Ling Yan smiled.

"You will look for it with me. If the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book is really found, I'll let you off," Yin Yang Child said.

However, Ling Yan shook his head. "Given my martial cultivation, the Dragon Vein is too dangerous for me. The Nine Sons Seized Souls Book is hidden in a deep corner by me using a flying spirit animal. If I head there with you, I'll lose my life anytime, and if that location is fake, there will no longer be the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book in this world after I die."

"Ling Yan, is that location real or fake!" Yin Yang Child clenched his fists tightly.

"Won't you know it when you go take a look yourself?" Ling Yan replied.

"Don't you dare play any tricks!" Yin Yang Child waved his hand immediately and inserted an aura on Ling Yan's body.

With this aura, Yin Yang Child could find Ling Yan no matter where he was.

Subsequently, Yin Yang Child disappeared and swiftly headed to the direction which Ling Yan pointed.

Yin Yang Child's interest in the Glazed Cup was long gone. He was extremely anxious and only wished to find the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book in the fastest speed possible.

Once Yin Yang Child was completely gone, Ye Qingtang looked at the nonchalant Ling Yan and walked towards him. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Ling Yan said with a smile.

"Did you really steal the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book from Yin Yang Child's father?" Ye Qingtang asked curiously.

Ling Yan shook his head upon hearing that. "What would I steal his father's Nine Sons Seized Souls Book for? I can't predict what's going to happen."

"So you were lying to him?" Ye Qingtang was astonished.

"Of course I was," Ling Yan said as a matter of fact.

"So the location that you gave him…" Ye Qingtang suddenly felt a little sorry for Yin Yang Child…

"Oh, I found the location of one of his enemies by coincidence earlier on. That enemy of Yin Yang Child has some enmity with me as well. This way, those two people would probably battle until the end of time, and we will have a little less trouble." Ling Yan explained with a smile.

852 How Did I Die

Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan meaningfully. The rumored Ling Yan would definitely not do anything he had no confidence in.

"I believe you led Yin Yang Child to where his enemy is, but I don't believe it when you said that you did not steal the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book from Yin Yang Child's father," Ye Qingtang said.

Ling Yan smiled faintly and sized up Ye Qingtang. "That's right. I have some conflicts with Yin Yang Child as well, and I've already stolen the Nine Sons Seized Souls Book before I came to this mainland."

Ye Qingtang could not help but gasp. This man was truly too scary.

If Ling Yan was a friend, he could provide an endless sense of security, but if he was an enemy, the enemy's outcome would probably be eternal damnation.

If Ling Yan was an enemy and not a friend, she would kill him regardless of the price she had to pay.

"What is your name?" Ling Yan asked Ye Qingtang a moment later.

"Don't you know how to figure things out? Do I still need to tell you such a small thing like my name?" Ye Qingtang said.

Ling Yan laughed upon hearing that. "Anything that can be figured out requires certain details. In this world, no one can produce things out of nothing. Since that's the case, how would I know your name for no reason?"

"Ye Chen." Ye Qingtang replied perfunctorily.

"It seems that you still have not treated me as a friend. Otherwise, you would not have told me your fake name." Ling Yan shook his head.

"How do you know that it's a fake name?" Ye Qingtang was a little curious.

"Ye Chen is clearly a male's name, but you are a female." Ling Yan answered.

"Ye Qingtang." With no other way out, Ye Qingtang said her name straightforwardly.

"Miss Ye, it's our first time meeting. I am Ling Yan, the third son of Eternal Dynasty's Emperor," Ling Yan said with a smile.

Before Ye Qingtang could say anything, Ling Yan continued on. "Actually, I really wish to ask if you know how I died?"

Ye Qingtang's brows furrowed instantly when Ling Yan said that, and she looked at Ling Yan questioningly. "Ling Yan, what do you mean? I don't understand."

Ling Yan said casually. "Although it's said that the karma of the latter half of my life has not formed… to play it safe, I wish to ask you, someone who is reborn, what exactly is my outcome?"

Ye Qingtang was deep in thought.

Ling Yan was not considered foreign to Ye Qingtang.

Back then, Ling Yan destroyed the Central Dynasty by himself and ruled the entire First Domain. Sometime later, a war broke out between the First Domain and the Second Domain. Ling Yan, who was only at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm then, laid a calamity of definite death, and he wanted to destroy the Second Domain completely…

Nonetheless, some unforeseen events happened. More than half of the super figures died in Ling Yan's scheme, but eventually, those unforeseen events caused Ling Yan's scheme to fail. He disappeared, and it was unknown whether he was still alive or not.

However, many people in this world believed that Ling Yan died, and the war between the First Domain and the Second Domain came to an end.

Actually, Ye Qingtang admired Ling Yan greatly.

The martial culture and skills of the Second Domain were completely above those of the First Domain, but relying just on a Ling Yan, the entire Second Domain was almost extinguished.

It was to the point that the Second Domain eventually invited the Heaven Mysteries Old Man to resolve the calamity which Ling Yan laid. Otherwise, before the unforeseen events happened, the Second Domain would have already suffered defeat.

853 Breakthrough

If Ling Yan had ambition, it was extremely great, but if it was said that he had no ambition, he really did not have any at all.

Whether it be snatching the Emperor's position or destroying the Central Dynasty to rule it later on, they were all out of passivity.

From what Ye Qingtang knew, Ling Yan did not have any grand aspiration to rule the world, nor did he have any desire for power.

Ling Yan's life could be summarized in eight words: fighting with the heavens was a boundless joy!

What Ling Yan wanted to fight against and trample under his foot was destiny, the Heavenly Dao, and the heavens.

"You have been thinking for a while… It seems that my ending is indeed not very pleasant." Ling Yan smiled.

"Aren't you afraid?" Ye Qingtang was rather surprised.

Ling Yan analyzed from her expression that he did not have any good ending but could still face it with a smile…

"Afraid?" Ling Yan shook his head. "I said that there is no predestined fate and karma. If my ending will be what you know from your previous life and that it is already predestined in this life… that is only interesting to me then. I will personally crush this weak and vulnerable destiny."

"I really admired you then," Ye Qingtang said.

While Ye Qingtang had a rebirth, if she had to experience the tragedies from her previous life again, it would be impossible for her to achieve it.

Moreover, Ling Yan never experienced it but knew of his miserable ending from others and even treated it as a form of joy.

"Ha… I'm lying." Ling Yan laughed suddenly. "If I'm not afraid, I would not figure out the karma and look for you. I wish to personally break the predestined fate, and only you… are able to help me."

"Me?" Ye Qingtang frowned immediately.

While there was a great disparity in the skills of the First Domain and the Second Domain in that war, the many deaths in both domains was an agonizing sight, and Ye Qingtang did not wish to be involved in it.

"Miss Ye, you and I don't have any good ending… You wish to crush your destiny, and only I can help you. Similarly, I… only have you." Ling Yan's lips tugged up slightly.

"Oh… By saying that, you are out to get me," Ye Qingtang said meaningfully while looking at Ling Yan.

"Miss Ye, from the karma natal chart, it seems… your ending is more miserable. If we have to say it clearly, why not say that it's you who is out to get me," Ling Yan said.

Then, Ye Qingtang could not be bothered with talking to Ling Yan anymore and walked ahead with great strides while Ling Yan followed right after Ye Qingtang.

"Why are you following me?" Ye Qingtang turned around and found Ling Yan following behind her.

"Protecting you." Ling Yan smiled.

"You protect me…" Ye Qingtang laughed from the anger. With his Martial Qi Level Three Third Heaven skills, who was protecting who exactly?

"Miss Ye, I've already saved you twice." Ling Yan reminded.

"…"

For a moment, Ye Qingtang had nothing to say.

Regardless of how Ling Yan's martial skills were, he did save her twice.

A while later, Ye Qingtang entered a cave and placed the Glazed Cup before her.

Ling Yan remained outside the cave understandingly and did not follow Ye Qingtang into the cave.

Half a day later, a frightening surge of spirit energy seeped out of the cave.

At the same time, Ye Qingtang's eyes widened immediately, and she absorbed all the spirit energy which seeped out back into her body in a flash.

Outside the cave, Ling Yan looked into the cave with interest. "Breaking through to Yin Yang Perfected Lord Second Heaven… from a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord… Interesting."

854 Life Danger

In the cave, Ye Qingtang slowly opened her eyes and exhaled turbid qi.

The spirit energy in the Dragon Vein was many times richer than in the outside world. Soon after she entered the Dragon Vein, Ye Qingtang had a sign of breaking through to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord. Now that she absorbed all the spirit energy in the Glazed Cup, she instantly advanced to the peak of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Second Heaven. Moreover, the spirit energy in her body was completely absorbed, and she believed that she could advance to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven soon.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

Ling Yan walked into the cave slowly sometime later.

"Who let you come in?" Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan with a frown.

"Miss Ye is only absorbing the spirit energy in the Glazed Cup to have a breakthrough in your cultivation base, and you are not resting nor changing clothes. Is there anything wrong with me entering the cave?" Ling Yan said with a smile.

"You are Ling Yan!" All of a sudden, the little white tiger which suddenly woke up peeked its head out and sized up Ling Yan.

"You are a Fiendcelestial Beast?" Ling Yan looked at the little white tiger for a moment and said subsequently.

"How do you know that I am a Fiendcelestial Beast?" The little white tiger was stunned.

"How do you know that I am Ling Yan then?" Ling Yan laughed.

"…" The little white tiger stared blankly at Ling Yan.

"Actually, I have already investigated my fated person before I came to this mainland. Ye Qingtang—Xuanling Sect's genius disciple who disappeared after obtaining the Fiendcelestial Beast in the Hell of Avicinaraka mystic realm. This kind of thing should not be hard to find out." Ling Yan explained.

"Ling Yan, you investigated me?" Ye Qingtang asked with a frown.

"It is very normal to investigate a stranger I haven't seen before. Now, I view you as a friend and am treating you with sincerity. Or else, how would you know that I investigated you before?" Ling Yan asked.

Although Ling Yan was infuriating, for some reason, it was extremely comfortable talking to him, and one could not be angry even if one was.

"I like this fellow!" The little white tiger nodded repeatedly.

"It is my honor to be liked by Fiendcelestial Beast senior." Ling Yan bent down slightly and smiled at the Fiendcelestial Beast.

"You… called it a senior?" Ye Qingtang's lips twitched slightly.

"Although it is an infant body, it probably lived thousands of years already. It is normal for me to call it 'senior'. If it was a human, I would call it 'ancestor'. It does not hurt." A faint smile remained on Ling Yan's lips.

"Hahaha. F*ck, that makes sense. Did you hear it… I'm already a few-thousand-year-old Fiendcelestial Beast. Be more respectful to me. Sigh, the young people nowadays…" The little white tiger stared at Ye Qingtang.

"Little White, can I not wield a sword anymore or are you grown now?" Ye Qingtang snickered.

The little white tiger shuddered and kept quiet immediately.

The little white tiger gazed at Ling Yan intentionally.

Back then, that elderly once mentioned Ling Yan's name; he was the only person in this world who could defuse the existence of martial skills.

That elderly had an extremely serious expression when he mentioned Ling Yan.

This person was an enormous variable…

It was all up to one whether he was a blessing or a disaster. Perhaps, the appearance of this variable could change Ye Qingtang's fate that had been predestined a long time ago…

That night, the little white tiger and Ling Yan had a joyous chat.

Ye Qingtang chased both the man and the tiger out of the cave for them to be affectionate to one another.

…

Outside the cave, Ling Yan asked meaningfully, "Senior, do you think that I will have any life danger for being so close to Miss Ye?"

"Yes." The little white tiger nodded successively and asked. "What do you know about?"

855 So That Is Why

"I don't know anything. May I know what Fiendcelestial Beast senior knows?" Ling Yan looked at the little white tiger.

"If you don't know, then forget it." The little white tiger shook its head.

It seemed that Ling Yan only calculated Ye Qingtang's karma destiny but was still completely unaware of what would happen next.

"Ling Yan, how about I tell you all of the secrets!" the little white tiger said excitedly.

However, Ling Yan shook his head in response. "There's no need. If you tell me everything, what meaning is there left?"

"F*ck, you're really a strange person." The little white tiger sized up the man before it curiously.

A while later, Ling Yan closed his eyes to rest while the little white tiger remained beside him idly with boredom.

…

In the dark night.

A black ball emerged out of Ye Qingtang's body and floated outside the cave instantly. A murderous intent filled its eyes when it saw the man who was resting.

Swoosh!

The little black ball darted towards Ling Yan in a flash. A powerful and strange aura rushed in the air, wanting to envelop Ling Yan and crush him.

At the same time, Ling Yan suddenly opened his eyes and sized up the little black ball in the air.

The corners of Ling Yan's lips tugged up slightly immediately. "So that is why… I understand already."

"You must be conspiring something for getting close to my mother. You must die!" The little black ball looked at Ling Yan and said.

"You want me to die, but even you… may not be able to do it, right?" There were no ripples in Ling Yan's eyes.

"Die!"

The little black ball charged towards Ling Yan immediately.

Without saying anything, Ling Yan slowly closed his eyes again, ignoring the murderous intent of the little black ball.

"Roar!"

Instantly, the little white tiger let out a furious roar. Its body enlarged rapidly, and it guarded Ling Yan. "If you wish to kill him, get past me first!"

"That's why I said that you cannot kill me." Ling Yan shook his head. "Thank you for helping me, Fiendcelestial Beast senior."

"F*ck. No wonder you asked if you have any life danger. You calculated this out from the start didn't you… You even didn't let me return to the cave. What a good scheme!" The little white tiger immediately turned around and shot Ling Yan a look.

Ling Yan merely returned a small response without saying anything.

"Get lost. You don't have any business here!" The black ball glared at the little white tiger.

"Scramble back. As long as I am here, you won't even be able to find the chance to kill this fellow!" The little white tiger guarded beside Ling Yan without moving an inch.

"Since that's the case, I will kill you two off together!" The little black ball remarked coldly.

"Haha… If you could kill me, you would have done so a long time ago, and there's no need to wait until now. Both of us can't do anything to each other right now. Get lost!" The little white tiger snickered coldly.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ling Yan seemed to be in thought.

"Good… Just you wait." Seeing that it could not deal with the little white tiger, the little black ball left a threat and returned to the cave and back into Ye Qingtang's body instantly.

"You are really so intelligent to the point that you're unbridled!" When the little white tiger saw that the little black ball backed out in the face of the difficulties, it could not help but size up Ling Yan once again.

"Fiendcelestial Beast senior, you should know why it wants to take my life, right?" Ling Yan smiled.

"Of course I do." The little white tiger nodded.

"Then, you and I are allies from now on," Ling Yan said.

"F*ck. As long as you don't have any wicked ideas and injure it, I will definitely befriend you. Otherwise, don't blame me for falling out with you," the little white tiger said coldly.

"If that is the case, I believe you and I will be good friends forever." Ling Yan chuckled.

856 Pretending To Be A Studen

As they chatted, Ye Qingtang was woken up by strange noises outside the cave. She walked out of the cave with a frown and saw an enlarged little white tiger and Ling Yan, who was full of smiles.

"What are… the two of you doing?" Ye Qingtang asked.

"Just now…"

The little white tiger wanted to speak but was interrupted by Ling Yan. "Nothing much. It's just that I haven't seen a Fiendcelestial Beast's graceful bearing before. Thus, I asked little tiger senior to widen my knowledge."

"Who are you calling a little tiger?" After hearing Ling Yan's address, the little white tiger immediately stood up with an unhappy expression.

"What do you like then, senior?" Ling Yan asked with a smile.

"Call me 'big tiger'!" the little white tiger said proudly.

"Alright, big tiger senior." Ling Yan nodded.

"Are you two done?" Ye Qingtang asked coldly.

Afterward, she returned back to the cave, leaving the little white tiger and Ling Yan staring at each other.

"Ling Yan, why didn't you let me tell the truth just now? That little bastard wanted to kill you," the little white tiger said.

"What is the point if I said it? Only you know about it. How would others believe why it wants to kill me, especially her?" Ling Yan dismissed it with a laugh.

Upon hearing that, the little white tiger pondered about it and thought that what Ling Yan said made sense.

"Furthermore, Miss Ye and I are not that close yet. Even if I'm really killed by it, it will only be scolded at most." Ling Yan added.

"Ah… That little bastard even wished to seize my body previously." The little white tiger muttered.

"Big tiger senior, you should understand why it wishes to seize your body, shouldn't you?" Ling Yan asked meaningfully.

"F*ck. Of course I know." The little white tiger nodded repeatedly. "It wants my life."

"In the future, big tiger senior must be more careful." Ling Yan reminded.

"Of course. I'm always paying attention to that little bastard." The little white tiger was angry once the little black ball was mentioned.

"Great. Our conversation will end here today. Only you and I need to know about this matter." Ling Yan stood up and gazed at the hill ahead.

Not long later, Ling Yan's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "The time is about right."

"What time is about right?" The little white tiger asked curiously.

"Nothing much. It's just that I arranged some chips for Miss Ye to survive in the Dragon Vein."

Subsequently, Ling Yan turned around and headed back into the cave.

Not long later, Ling Yan sat beside Ye Qingtang. Before Ling Yan spoke, Ye Qingtang suddenly opened her eyes.

"What are you doing?" Ye Qingtang stood up instantly.

"I have something to discuss with you." Ling Yan smiled.

"Speak." Ye Qingtang replied.

"In my Eternal Dynasty, there is an academy called the Supreme Academy. This time, some students of the Supreme Academy came to this mainland as well and entered the Dragon Vein. I wish to let Miss Ye pretend to be a senior sister from the Supreme Academy." Ling Yan explained.

Ye Qingtang was stunned and asked unknowingly, "Why?"

Ye Qingtang heard something about the Supreme Academy as well. It was one of the most renowned academies in Eternal Dynasty, and according to Ye Qingtang's memory, the President of the Supreme Academy had already relied on the Crown Prince of Eternal Dynasty, who was also Ling Yan's eldest brother.

That Crown Prince wanted to finish Ling Yan off for good, and so did the Supreme Academy naturally. However, why did Ling Yan want her to pretend to be a student from the Supreme Academy…

857 Supreme Academy

"Ling Yan, why do you want me to pretend to be a Supreme Academy student?" Ye Qingtang did not understand Ling Yan's intention.

Ling Yan chuckled upon hearing that. "Miss Ye, given your skills, do you really wish to contest against the powerful figures from the Central Mainland in this Dragon Vein? If you do not grab onto the opportunity, all of the destinies would have nothing to do with you."

Ye Qingtang naturally understood the meaning behind Ling Yan's words.

Even if her skills were at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven currently, there was simply no way of fighting against a super figure like Yin Yang Child from the Central Mainland.

"How do I pretend?" Ye Qingtang did not understand.

"You only need this item." Ling Yan took out a token immediately.

"This is…" Ye Qingtang had an odd expression while looking at the token in Ling Yan's hand.

"This is the Supreme Token. Only insanely-talented disciples from the Supreme Academy would have it… These disciples are managed by the Supreme Academy's President and would not appear before others. With this Supreme Token, the Supreme Academy students who entered the Dragon Vein will have to call you 'senior sister'." Ling Yan explained.

"But even so… do my Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven skills seem like the insanely-talented disciples…" Ye Qingtang asked.

"Miss Ye, you don't need to be worried as I have a solution for that. You just need to follow what I say." Ling Yan replied with a smile.

Since Ling Yan had already said that, Ye Qingtang could only agree.

"Liu." Ling Yan called softly.

As he spoke, there was a tremor beneath their feet, and a midget appeared in no time.

"Greetings, Your Highness! Greetings, Miss Ye!" The midget greeted the two of them with a bow.

"Rumors have it that Your Highness Ling Yan recruited ten guards with special techniques… It seems that this Liu is one of them." Ye Qingtang commented meaningfully.

Ling Yan only smiled at that and did not reply.

Ling Yan walked forward immediately and explained his plan.

Following Ling Yan's plan, Ye Qingtang left the cave directly and headed to where Ling Yan said.

A while later, indeed as Ling Yan had said, a few young men and women were walking over.

There were a total of three people, and the martial aura of each of them was way more powerful than Ye Qingtang's. Most likely, all three of them had already entered the early-stage of an Arcane Supremacy!

"Supreme Academy people, today is your death day!" Liu appeared at this moment and shouted coldly.

Watching Liu's exaggerated acting, Ye Qingtang closed her eyes, unwilling to look at him.

"Who are you?" One of the Supreme Academy students asked coldly.

"Someone who will take your lowly lives." The midget scoffed.

"You don't even dare to face me with your real face, but you're making wild talk here?!" A female Supreme Academy student with a sweet appearance snickered.

"Humph. Cut the crap. Look at my Shun Tian Formation!"

The midget tore a talisman immediately, and in the next second, the talisman was burnt. Right after, a black demon-like light immediately enshrouded the three disciples from the Supreme Academy.

"Shun Tian Formation…?!"

One of the students had an astonished expression and was in disbelief.

Although this type of formation was not considered too powerful and an Arcane Supremacy could easily break it with a hand, these few people were suppressed to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm when they came to this mainland. With the injection of spirit energy by that masked man to sustain the power of the formation, it was difficult for them to break it.

858 Bastard

Hidden in a dark corner, Ye Qingtang could not help but facepalm as that midget's acting was overly exaggerated.

However, what surprised Ye Qingtang was that the midget consumed a certain elixir, and his current height was about two meters tall. He seemed rather muscular and was completely different from the earlier image of a midget.

Ye Qingtang could not understand one thing though: the midget was already masked and wrapped in a black robe. Thus, there was simply no way of seeing his face. Why did he need to change his build as well? Was he this afraid of being recognized by the students from the Supreme Academy?

"Hahaha, you all are stuck in this Shun Tian Formation and will not be able to escape even if you all have wings!" Disguised as a black-robed person, the midget stared at the young people in the formation and cackled coldly.

"How hateful!"

"You are a despicable and shameless lowly person! How dare you mount a sneak attack on us with an Array Formation In A Talisman! And you still don't dare to face us with your true appearance! What kind of hero are you?!"

"Retract the Shun Tian Formation if you are a figure. If you have the capability, release us and let us have a battle with you. If we are defeated, we will have no complaints dying!"

"Humph. Full of crap. I didn't say that I'm a hero either. Today, you all will die in my hands, and it can only be said that all of you Supreme Academy people are useless and unable to withstand a single blow." The midget scoffed.

"You…"

"Scumbag!"

"How dare you insult my Supreme Academy!"

In the Shun Tian Formation, the Supreme Academy disciples were towering with rage and desperately wanted to chop that black-robed person into pieces. Yet, they were unable to escape from the formation.

After saying that sentence, the black-robed person cast a discreet look at where Ye Qingtang was hiding at. They clearly agreed that after he said that line, Ye Qingtang would walk out from the dark and pretend to be a senior sister from the Supreme Academy… Why was there still no movement?

"You, Supreme Academy students, are all useless and unable to withstand a single blow! Completely useless!" the midget said again but with a louder voice.

"You…"

"Bastard! If you have the guts, let us out from the Shun Tian Formation, and you can see for yourself if we, Supreme Academy disciples, are useless or not!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"You are a lowly person who can only use such underhanded means. You don't even have a sense of shame and still dare to make such big talk shamelessly!"

Hearing that the black-robed person repeat what he said before again, all of the Supreme Academy students exploded with fury.

The midge frowned and scanned the dark corner ahead, but there was still no movement.

"Cough cough… Cough Cough… You, Supreme Academy students, are a bunch of useless people and cannot withstand a single blow!!" The midget shouted loudly.

"Cough cough cough cough!! You, Supreme Academy students, are all useless…" At this moment, the midget was close to shouting himself hoarse.

At the same time, Ye Qingtang, who was hidden in the dark, looked at the midget strangely.

"Is… he crazy?" Ye Qingtang muttered. His acting skills were so exaggerated that it was an unbearable sight.

"I think it should be you who made him crazy." The little white tiger in Ye Qingtang's arms suddenly spoke.

"I made him crazy?" Ye Qingtang pointed at herself instinctively with a questioning expression. "What has this to do with me?"

The little white tiger inched closer to Ye Qingtang and licked its paws. "So when do you think you should go out and accompany him with this show?"

Ye Qingtang was immediately stupefied when she heard the little white tiger.

At that instant, the midget was roaring at the top of his lungs. "You, Supreme Academy students, are a bunch of useless people… Unable to withstand a blow…"

"Damn you! Are you done?!"

"Let us out if you have the guts!"

"Bastard! You already said it over ten times! What is your intention!"

859 Find A Hole To Hide In

"Useless people from the Supreme Academy…"

The midget screamed at the top of his lungs, and his voice was already a little hoarse.

However, before the midget finished speaking, Ye Qingtang walked out from the dark slowly with the little white tiger.

"Who said that the Supreme Academy does not have anyone!" Ye Qingtang took a step forward and reached the midget's side immediately.

"Ah, it's you… You finally came!" Seeing that Ye Qingtang was here, the midge immediately pointed at Ye Qingtang and spoke.

"Your line is wrong…" Ye Qingtang moved her lips without a sound.

"Cough cough… Ah, it's you. You're actually here!" The midget corrected himself immediately.

"F*ck. Can you not repeat your line?" The little white tiger looked at the midget helplessly. Ling Yan was so intelligent, but why did he have such a subordinate…

At the same time, the disciples in the Shun Tian Formation looked at Ye Qingtang one by one with surprised expressions.

Ye Qingtang was wearing the Supreme Academy student's uniform from a few batches earlier.

"Ha… Do you know who I am?" Ye Qingtang looked at the midget, and her lips curled up into a devilish smile.

"Of course I know. You are Ye Qingtang, one of the insanely-talented disciples from three batches earlier who was directly managed by the Supreme Academy's President. You have frightening martial gifts and are a super powerful figure. I never thought that you would appear here. I never thought that I would actually be able to see such a talented disciple like you in my lifetime. Humph! Am I right?" The midget scoffed coldly.

The corner of Ye Qingtang's lips twitched a little. Can… she say no…

The midget's extremely exaggerated way of expression almost caused Ye Qingtang to leave directly.

Furthermore, did this midget just say her name? The lines that they practiced earlier on did not use her real name…

Not mentioning Ye Qingtang, even the little white tiger could not help but shut his ears.

"Why aren't you talking? Don't think that you can be condescending just because you're an insanely-talented disciple from the formidable Supreme Academy. I am not one with an undeserved reputation!" The midget said while giving Ye Qingtang a look, signaling her to follow up with her line.

"…"

"Humph, don't think that you can be condescending just because…"

Nonetheless, before the midget finished his sentence, Ye Qingtang hurriedly waved a hand to interrupt him. "That's right. It's me."

"Good. It's you. You finally admitted! Come on, let me take a look at your brilliance!" The midget stared at Ye Qingtang and put on an extremely exaggerated stance as though he was 'confronted by a formidable enemy'.

Ye Qingtang could point to the sky and swear that if not for the current circumstances, she would definitely turn around and leave.

"Come on! Come on!" the midget said and curled his index finger at Ye Qingtang.

"…"

Swoosh!

Unable to bear it anymore, Ye Qingtang immediately unsheathed her black sword, exuding a strange gleam.

"This… Just the force of unsheathing the sword is so powerful already… You!"

Before Ye Qingtang attacked, the midget's face was filled with horror as he retreated backward.

Both Ye Qingtang and the little white tiger were speechless.

"You… Could this sword be the legendary Executed Immortal Sword?!" The midget shouted in alarm as he stared at the long sword in Ye Qingtang's hand.

"This is called the Regicide Sky Blade!" Ye Qingtang was at the end of her patience.

"What! It's the Regicide Sky Blade! Could this… be the legendary Heaven-level divine weapon!" The midget's expression was even more horrified.

Ye Qingtang sighed immediately. "An imitation."

Even if she was an insanely-talented disciple from the Supreme Academy, it was impossible for her to possess a Heaven-level divine weapon. Thus, she could only correct him helplessly.

860 I Will Not Let You Off Even If I Become A Ghos

Ye Qingtang, once again, swore to the heavens that she did not want to put on an act with this person ever again in her life.

If Ling Yan personally came to act with her, the effect… should not be like what it was right now.

"Even if it's an imitation, it's already very scary. I never thought that the Supreme Academy would actually have such a figure like you. I made an error of judgment… Ye Qingtang, you can strike! It's useless to talk so much!" The midget shouted sternly.

"…"

Useless to talk so much? From the start to now, she only said a total of four words: "It's me" and "An imitation".

"Full of bullsh*t!" She shouted.

Ye Qingtang frowned immediately and swept her sword across horizontally.

In a flash, a frightening sword gleam slashed towards the midget.

The midget had a confused expression. There should not be "full of bullshit" in Ye Qingtang's lines… Could it be that she improvised it…

As the sword gleam was slashed, the midget pointed a finger out and wanted to block it instinctively. However, he suddenly recalled his current role.

"Ah…"

Before the sword gleam attacked the midget, he was already flung out.

In the Shun Tian Formation, the three Arcane Supremacies in the Supreme Academy exchanged a look. What exactly happened?

Very quickly, the midget jumped up from the ground and glared at Ye Qingtang furiously. "Good… I admit that I am not your opponent, but don't be too excited just yet. I cultivated an extremely frightening evil cultivation technique, and I will slay you right here today!"

Ye Qingtang could not hold herself back from rolling her eyes at the midget. Even if it was a demonic cult from the unorthodox, they would not call the techniques they cultivated as evil cultivation techniques would they…

Almost instantly, the midget turned into black fog, and a berserk laugh sounded from it.

The black fog's speed was extremely fast, and it enveloped Ye Qingtang in it instantly. In a split second, endless spirit energy escaped into the surroundings.

Noticing the situation, the three Arcane Supremacies in the Shun Tian Formation had solemn expressions.

"That is… the Deceased Soul Technique?!"

"It's said that the Deceased Soul Technique can absorb the spirit energy of others by force and turn it to be used by the user!"

"Looking at the method he executed the technique, it seems to really be similar to that of the Deceased Soul Technique…"

Wild laughter erupted from the black fog. "Hahaha, you three are pretty observant. You all actually know the Deceased Soul Technique that I cultivated!"

In the black fog, Ye Qingtang's brows were tightly furrowed, and she wore a pained expression.

"Senior sister, the Deceased Soul Technique can be restrained with fire!" A lady looked at Ye Qingtang and said hurriedly.

The moment she said that, golden flames started burning around Ye Qingtang.

As the flames appeared, the three Arcane Supremacies in the Shun Tian Formation were astonished. The flames on Ye Qingtang's body were actually full of the aura of destruction like an Extraordinary Flame!

"It's an Extraordinary Flame…"

"And looking at this Extraordinary Flame's grade, it does not seem low…"

"Could it be that she really is a senior sister from our Supreme Academy from a few batches earlier?"

The three Arcane Supremacies in the Shun Tian Formation were bridled with confusion.

However, before they could ponder anymore, a torturous scream rang from the black fog.

"You… You… are really powerful… I will not… let you off… even if I become a ghost…"

After saying that, the black fog turned into black sand and scattered all over the ground. Subsequently, the black sand sunk into the ground without a sound and disappeared completely.

Ye Qingtang shook her head and kept her sword back into the sheath with a sharp sound. She looked at the three Arcane Supremacies in the Shun Tian Formation and walked towards it with great strides.

861 Are You Alrigh

"Senior Sister, thank you for saving us!"

"Please break the Shun Tian Formation and rescue us, Senior Sister!"

However, before Ye Qingtang came close to the Shun Tian Formation, one of the ladies hurriedly shouted to Ye Qingtang. "Senior Sister, careful!"

The moment she spoke, a shattering sound rang from behind.

Almost instinctively, Ye Qingtang leaped away and retreated over ten steps.

Boom!

A rumble exploded along with a slash in the air.

Ye Qingtang turned around and sized up the front calmly.

Ahead was a completely-decomposed warhorse that had purple flames lingering around its entire body. A corpse in black armor was on the back of the horse.

"Prehistoric human…" Ye Qingtang's brows were furrowed.

The supposed prehistoric human referred only to the prehistory of this mainland.

It was said that before this mainland was formed, countless humans lost their lives in the battle between the True Dragon and Divine Phoenix.

Afterward, the True Dragon and Divine Phoenix died, and the Dragon Vein was formed. As a result, those prehistoric humans were also buried in the Dragon Vein.

The prehistoric human before them had been dead for many years, but it seemed to condense to a strange soul due to the Wintry Aura in the Dragon Vein, and it became a killing machine.

The flaming warhorse neighed, wanting to sweep everything away, while the corpse in a black armor roared and shot daggers with his eyes. It was as though they could take away people's souls.

Swoosh!

In the next second, the corpse rode towards Ye Qingtang, and the long knife in his hands was stabbed towards her.

Fast. This strike was so fast that one could barely see it with the naked eye.

Even an Arcane Supremacy may not be able to block the attack of a prehistoric human, much less Ye Qingtang, who was only at Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven currently.

However, at the same time, a shadow flashed by and landed beside Ye Qingtang.

Puff!

The long knife pierced through the shadow.

Surprised, Ye Qingtang looked at the man in white who suddenly appeared beside her.

The man was wearing a mask, and there was a trace of blood on his hair.

At that instant, the man's blood splattered on the corpse's body.

The corpse cried immediately, and the man's blood started burning, forcing the corpse to retreat.

Before long, the warhorse and the corpse in a black armor dashed away and disappeared without a trace in no time.

"Are you alright…"

The man turned around and looked at Ye Qingtang.

"Ling Yan…"

Ye Qingtang was surprised.

In her previous life, she once heard that Ling Yan's blood could intimidate the evil. Apart from Ling Yan, who else could this masked man be?

"I should be the one asking you that… Are you alright?" Ye Qingtang looked at the pierced wound on Ling Yan's left shoulder and asked with a frown.

"I'm alright… You should be more careful. This Dragon Vein does not seem to be as simple as what we see." Ling Yan leaned to Ye Qingtang's ear and said softly.

Subsequently, Ling Yan turned around and left this place without looking back.

"That person is?"

The three Arcane Supremacies in the Shun Tian Formation appeared to be a little confused.

The magical effect of Ling Yan's blood was only circulated many years later. Currently, apart from a few certain people, most of the powerful figures had not heard of it before, and as a result, it was all the more impossible for the students of the Supreme Academy to know about it.

As Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan's leaving back view, there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart; that Ling Yan suddenly appeared and took a blow for her…

862 Travel Together

Since Ling Yan was alright, Ye Qingtang did not think much and immediately went forward to break the Shun Tian Formation from the outside and rescued the three Arcane Supremacies from the Supreme Academy.

After the three Arcane Supremacies were rescued out, they thanked Ye Qingtang successively.

"Senior Sister, thank you for your help. I will never forget your great kindness from today." One of the males looked at Ye Qingtang gratefully.

"It isn't anything great. We are all from the same school, and there's no need to fuss about this." Ye Qingtang replied.

"May I ask… which batch you are from, Senior Sister Ye?" One of the Arcane Supremacies sized up Ye Qingtang closely.

"Calculating the years, I am three batches before you all," Ye Qingtang responded.

There was a hint of surprise in all of their eyes when they heard Ye Qingtang.

"May I ask… if you have any proof?" A lady asked.

No matter what, it was better to be more cautious in the Dragon Vein.

Ye Qingtang chuckled immediately and took out a token. "I've always kept this item. Can it be used as the so-called proof?"

"This is…"

One of the Arcane Supremacies looked at the token Ye Qingtang took out in confusion.

"Senior Sister Ye, can I take a look at it?" The lady asked.

"Sure." Ye Qingtang handed the token to the lady.

After receiving the token, the three people inspected it for a moment and were shocked.

"Supreme Token! This… is actually Supreme Academy's Supreme Token!!"

There were less than ten tokens produced in the Supreme Academy for every batch, and every holder of the Supreme Token was an insanely-talented disciple whom the President personally managed!

For their batch, it was said that there were only a few Supreme Tokens, and no one knew how the holders of the Supreme Token looked like.

After inspecting the authenticity of the Supreme Token, the three people looked at Ye Qingtang, astonished, and cupped their fists successively. "Greetings, Senior Sister Ye!"

"Rise… I have already left the academy for many years. I am already satisfied with you all calling me 'senior sister'. There's no need to be over-courteous," Ye Qingtang said.

The three people rose after hearing Ye Qingtang.

"Senior Sister, I am Li Bingxue. I am extremely honored to meet you today, Senior Sister Ye. Disciples of your level are the academy's pride…" Li Bingxue looked at Ye Qingtang in admiration.

In the Supreme Academy, there were so many students in every batch that it was impossible to estimate a number, but how many in each batch could possess the Supreme Token?

Ye Qingtang chuckled lightly without commenting further.

"Senior Sister, I am Feng Wudang!" One of the Arcane Supremacies told Ye Qingtang with cupped fists.

"Gu Tianhe." Another Arcane Supremacy added on.

After Ye Qingtang took out the Supreme Token, the three of them no longer doubted Ye Qingtang's identity.

They were naturally able to distinguish the authenticity of the Supreme Token. Furthermore, if not for Ye Qingtang's help earlier on, they would probably be dead in the Shun Tian Formation.

"Junior Brother Gu, Junior Brother Feng, Junior Sister Li, since you all are alright, I will take my leave first," Ye Qingtang looked at them individually and said afterward.

"Are you on your own, Senior Sister?" Li Bingxue asked curiously.

"That's right." Ye Qingtang nodded her head.

"Then the person… who blocked a blow for you…" Li Bingxue was a little confused.

Hearing that, Ye Qingtang replied without thinking. "That is my companion. However, he has something to settle, so I am alone now."

The three people nodded without thinking much about it.

"Since that's the case, why don't you explore the Dragon Vein with us, Senior Sister Ye? Could it be that you despise the three of us?" Feng Wudang sighed.

863 World as the Chessboard, Human as the Chess Pieces

"How would I dislike you when I have just reached this unfamiliar land? I'm still afraid that I can't get closer to the three of you." Ye Qingtang stared at Feng Wudang in confusion and asked.

"Haha, Senior Sister Ye, I was oversensitive. In this case, come along with us," Feng Wudang said.

"That's right, Senior Sister Ye. It's very dangerous in the Dragon Vein. Furthermore, our martial abilities are suppressed at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord level and not even recovered to the Yang Lord level. It will be easier for us to discuss together if we encounter any problem." Li Bingxue smiled sweetly towards Ye Qingtang.

"Alright, since you say so, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse." Ye Qingtang smiled slightly and took a glance at a distant place.

…

At the same time at the distant place.

Ling Yan sat beside the chessboard and closed his eyes to take a rest.

"Your Highness, the President of the Supreme Academy had sided with the Crown Prince… The Crown Prince wanted to eliminate you at all cost. Why did you ask Lady Ye to disguise as a student of the Supreme Academy?" The midget frowned and asked. He removed his black robe to reveal his true identity as he stared at Ling Yan.

Though Ling Yan had never made any mistakes in everything he did, the midget still felt curious.

Soon, Ling Yan opened his eyes slowly. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.

"The Supreme Academy is not a threat to me anymore," he said slowly.

"Not a threat anymore?"

The midget was stunned for a second after hearing Ling Yan's words. He did not understand what he meant.

However, since Ling Yan did not explain himself, he would not ask for the answer as well.

The midget looked at the wound that was pierced through by the sword and said, "Your Highness… your injury…"

The midget could not believe what he saw when Ling Yan warded off the sword for Ye Qingtang. How would he ward off the sword for someone based on his temper!

"Lady Ye… She is my first important friend," Ling Yan said softly. A harmless smile was seen on his friend.

"Friend…"

The midget stared at Ling Yan in surprise.

Ling Yan treated the world as a chessboard and the human as a chess piece. The midget could never imagine that someone like him would treat a human as a friend.

He would never believe it if he did not hear it with his own ears.

Soon, Ling Yan took out a black chess piece from the chessboard.

Boom. The chess piece broke into powder and dispersed alongside the wind.

"Ha, based on my older brother and the Perfected Gu Yun's suspicious personalities, the Supreme Academy is gone now," Ling Yan said, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

…

Perfected Gu Yun, who was addressed by Ling Yan as teacher, was standing on top of a cliff. His face was extremely dark.

He had never imagined that the fated person that Ling Yan insisted to look for on this piece of land would be a student of the Supreme Academy. A special student who held the Supreme Token!

There were only a few special students in every batch, and they were managed by the President of the Supreme Academy personally!

Perfected Gu Yun did not totally believe it when he was observing secretly at first. However, his doubt was erased when he saw Ling Yan ward off the sword for the lady.

The Supreme Academy's special student with the Supreme Token, who was managed by the President, was definitely the fated person of Ling Yan!

If not, why would Ling Yan come to this piece of land and protected her from the sword regardless of his own safety!

"Supreme President, you appeared to be siding towards the Crown Prince, but secretly…" Perfected Gu Yun gnashed his teeth and murmured.

If the midget heard the Perfected Gu Yun's words now, he would understand what Ling Yan meant by 'the Supreme Academy is gone'.

864 Crown Prince

Perfected Gu Yun's face was clouded. He finally understood the reason why Ling Yan had to come to this piece mainland.

Previously, Perfected Gu Yun did not even bother about whether Ling Yan was looking for the fated person.

However, if the lady with the Supreme Token was not Ling Yan's fated person, how could he ward off the sword for her based on his personality?!

Perfected Gu Yun waved his right arm to cast a mystic technique immediately.

A vague and virtual shadow appeared in the mid-air on top of Perfected Gu Yun within a short while.

There was a man around forty years old appearing in the virtual shadow. He wore a nine-claw wyrm robe that made him look extremely noble.

"Crown Prince." Perfected Gu Yun greeted towards the middle-aged man.

The man waved his hand and said, "How?"

"Ling Yan has found his fated person, Your Highness…" Perfected Gu Yun said.

A cold glint flashed across the man's eyes after hearing Perfected Gu Yun's words.

Ling Yan had a karma bloodline. The consequences would be unimaginable if he found his fated person. The only power that he dreaded of in the entire Eternal Dynasty was Ling Yan. His father also thought highly of Ling Yan. If Ling Yan met his fated person, he might not be the prince heir anymore…

"Is it true?" The man's face darkened.

"It's true, Your Highness. Ling Yan entered the Dragon Vein alone these days and did not allow me to follow. Then, I chose to enter the place first and wait for his appearance to observe him secretly. I just witnessed that he was willing to sacrifice himself and ward off the sword for a lady." Perfected Gu Yun explained.

"Who is that lady? Is she from your mainland?" the Crown Prince of the Eternal Dynasty asked.

Perfected Gu Yun shook his head and said, "I thought that she was from this mainland at first… However, the lady held the Supreme Token and saved a few students of the Supreme Academy. Though I did not hear what they were talking about, they seemed to be very close."

"You're saying that the Supreme Academy did not side towards me wholeheartedly…" Cold glints flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes continuously.

"I'm not sure about that…" Perfected Gu Yun shook his head.

"Humph! I was still wondering why the Supreme Academy would choose to side with me so easily and agree to help me to take down Ling Yan… If they sided with Ling Yan first, they definitely followed Ling Yan's instructions and were on the undercover job by pretending to side with me…" The Crown Prince smashed the table in front of him into pieces.

"It's not totally impossible, Crown Prince…" Perfected Gu Yun said. "The President of the Supreme Academy eliminated the Execution Sect according to Ling Yan's command. However, the Execution Sect was still fighting back resistantly to now and is yet to be destroyed… The Execution Sect has definitely surrendered to Ling Yan's sect forces. If the President of the Supreme Academy also listened to Ling Yan, the attack on the Execution Sect by the Supreme Academy was not real. They would not go harsh on them… I'm afraid that this is the reason why the Execution Sect is still not destroyed even though their strength is weaker than the Supreme Academy."

"You don't need to worry about that. Remember, kill Ling Yan's fated person no matter what happens. Kill Ling Yan as well if you have the chance," the Crown Prince said coldly.

"Rest assured, Crown Prince." Perfected Gu Yun nodded his head and said. The virtual shadow disappeared when he waved his right arm again.

865 The Plo

At one of the ridges in the Dragon Vein after a few days.

Ling Yan's eyes that seemed to contain the entire universe were filled with smiles.

The midget stood beside respectively but did not say anything.

"Thank you, Your Highness. The Execution Sect will not be facing any problems in the short future. I have no idea why that the Crown Prince summoned the President of the Supreme Academy and tried to assassinate him. Though he managed to escape, he was injured heavily. The Crown Prince sent military forces secretly to attack a few base camps of the Supreme Academy…" A virtual image of an elder appeared beside Ling Yan.

Ling Yan smiled and said, "The Execution Sect will have time to recover."

Excitement filled the elder's face. Though he did not know why the Crown Prince would suddenly attempt to assassinate the President of the Supreme Academy, he understood that this was done by Ling Yan based on his confident look. However, he would never be able to know how Ling Yan managed to do that.

"Thank you, Your Highness. If you did not lend us a helping hand, the Execution Sect would not have been able to survive another attack from the Supreme Academy," the elder said with graciousness.

The elder added. "Your Highness, since the Crown Prince also targeted the Supreme Academy and the President was injured, I suggest that the Execution Sect can take the initiative and attack the Supreme Academy!"

However, Ling Yan shook his head and said, "No… Instead, I want you to help the Supreme Academy."

"Arh?!"

The elder was stunned after hearing Ling Yan's words. The Supreme Academy was a strong opponent. Why should they help them when they had the chance to kill them?

"Yes. The Crown Prince is always very suspicious about everything. If you help them this time, the Crown Prince will believe that the Supreme Academy has sided with me. No matter how the Supreme Academy tries to explain in the future, the Crown Prince will never trust them anymore… The only path that is left for the Supreme Academy is to side with me wholeheartedly."

"Brilliant… No one else will be able to think of such a strategy, Your Highness!" The elder exclaimed.

"Go ahead." As Ling Yan waved his hand, the virtual image of the elder disappeared.

The midget sized up his master. He could plan everything without any flaw…

The sword that he warded off for Miss Ye had resulted in so many chain reactions. Besides saving Miss Ye's life, he saved the Execution Sect from the desperate situation under the attack from the Supreme Academy. He even broke the relationship between the suspicious Crown Prince and the President of the Supreme Academy. It was even possible to recruit the Supreme Academy under him…

Everything was just the result of the sword that Ling Yan warded off for Miss Ye.

What was more terrifying was that none of these were planned by Ling Yan before. The prehistoric dried corpse existed in the Dragon Vein. Even Ling Yan could not control its appearance and whether it would attack Miss Ye…

However, Ling Yan could instantly seize the opportunity that normal people would even notice. Then, he achieved a series of things at the next instant…

The midget could not help but take a cold breath.

It was lucky that he was Ling Yan's henchman. If he was the Crown Prince's henchman…

"Your Highness, Perfected Gu Yun will definitely try to kill Miss Ye. Do we need to protect her?" The midget looked towards Ling Yan and asked.

Ling Yan shook his head and said, "He will definitely try to kill her, but Miss Ye has three Arcane Supremacies following her with the little white tiger… It's disappointing if he does not do anything… He's been fated to die ever since I brought him over."

866 The Bloodline of the Jiang Family Clan

The midget frowned slightly and looked towards Ling Yan. He hesitated for a while and said, "My highness… Will Miss Ye be alright? Perfected Gu Yun is strong. I can protect Miss Ye secretly. However… if we let her face him herself…"

Ling Yan said slowly, "So you're saying that my decision is inappropriate?"

"I don't dare to judge your decision!"

The midget kneeled on the ground with one leg immediately.

"Based on her karmic natal chart, her future will not be peaceful… If she remains as a flower in the greenhouse without going through any hardship, even I cannot change her destiny when she loses her own strength… Do you know how most of the powerful people's offspring die?" Ling Yan said.

"Yes… whenever they face some problems, those powerful people will appear and solve them… This results in the children being mediocre and arrogant. The day when the powerful people leave is the day the children will die."

The midget sighed. He had witnessed so many such cases, just like his older brother's child.

"Miss Ye is definitely not this type of person… Furthermore, she is strong and powerful, more powerful than both of us could imagine… It's possible that our survival and death will be held in her hands. Your concern is not necessary." Ling Yan waved his sleeve and walked forward.

…

Ye Qingtang was walking into the deeper part of the forest with Feng Wudang, Li Bingxue, and Gu Tianhe.

A figure appeared in the mid-air and then disappeared.

"That's… Ye You?"

Ye Qingtang recognized Ye You with just one glance.

"I did not expect Ye You to be here as well…" Li Bingxue stared above her and said coldly.

"You know Ye You?" Ye Qingtang asked.

Ye You seemed to vaporize from the world ever since she saw her at the Hell of Avicinaraka last time. She reappeared at the region of the Dragon Vein this time.

However, Ye Qingtang was curious about why Li Bingxue and the rest would know about Ye You…

"Who's Ye You? How come I don't know as well, Junior Sister Li?"

Gu Tianhe looked at Li Bingxue in confusion, and so did Feng Wudang. Both of them had never heard the name Ye You before.

"Jiang Duantian's granddaughter…" Li Bingxue said mysteriously.

Feng Wudang and Gu Tianhe were both shocked when they heard the name of Jiang Duantian.

Jiang Duantian was the Domain Master of the First Domain. His martial ability was above everyone else, and he was the renowned supreme chief.

"Wait, how can he have a granddaughter when he doesn't even have a daughter?" Gu Tianhe frowned and asked.

"I'm not clear about that, but I heard about it during a conversation between the President and an elder," Li Bingxue said.

Ye Qingtang was deep in thought.

Ye Qingtang surely knew about Ye You's identity since she had lived two lives.

The Jiang family clan was the first family with a surname in the Central Mainland. Jiang Duantian had a daughter who was obsessed with the cultivation of space array formations.

Some mistakes happened when Jiang Duantian's daughter was setting up a space array formation, and it went across the Dimension Wall of the mainland and came to this place. She then met one of the Great Elders of Ye family, Ye You's father, Ye Yun.

The two of them gave birth to Ye You.

Ye You contained the bloodline of the Jiang family clan, which could be sensed by the Jiang family. However, the Dimension Wall blocked off the sensor of bloodline.

After the Dimension Wall was destroyed, the Jiang family sensed Ye You's bloodline instantly and brought her back to the Central Dynasty.

867 Midnight Whisper

It was years later when Ye You was brought back by the Jiang family in her previous life. However, the Dimension Wall was destroyed earlier as a result of Ye Qingtang, and the Jiang family managed to sense the Jiang bloodline in Ye You's body.

Ye Qingtang's original plan was to take her revenge before Ye You was brought back by the Jiang family. However, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry; man proposes, god disposes. She was still a step late…

The reason why Ye You could reach the Paragon Great Empress was closely related to the Jiang family's nurturing.

"You know Ye You as well, Senior Sister Ye?" Li Bingxue asked curiously.

"I was just asking," Ye Qingtang smiled and said.

Li Bingxue nodded and did not think much about it.

Soon, midnight arrived.

Ye Qingtang sat on the ground and entered a state of meditation.

"Miss Ye."

Ling Yan voice was suddenly heard.

Ye Qingtang opened her eyes almost instantly and sized up her surroundings.

"I'm in your pocket," Ling Yan said.

Ye Qingtang took out the Supreme Token from her pocket, and Ling Yan's voice came from the token.

"I installed a voice transmission stone into the Supreme Token," Ling Yan said.

Ye Qingtang was totally not surprised by such a trick.

"It's quite late now. What do you need?" Ye Qingtang asked.

"My teacher intends to kill you now." Ling Yan's voice came out from the token.

"And then?" Ye Qingtang felt triggered about that. She would not have been involved in so much trouble if it not because of Ling Yan.

"Kill him," Ling Yan said.

"Your Highness, are you joking with me? Or tell me, what's the cultivation level of your teacher?" Ye Qingtang frowned and said.

"The second stage of the Arcane Supremacy, Divine Arcane Supremacy." Ling Yan replied.

Ye Qingtang almost threw the Supreme Token away when she heard that.

There would be two stages when a cultivator reached the Arcane Supremacy.

The first stage was the Virtual Arcane Supremacy.

The second stage was the Divine Arcane Supremacy.

Every stage was divided into five Heavens. People at the Virtual Arcane Supremacy had to reach the Fifth Heaven to strive towards the Divine Arcane Supremacy.

Though Gu Tianhe, Li Bingxue, and Feng Wudang were at the Arcane Supremacy level, all of them were still at the first stage, Virtual Arcane Supremacy. However, Ling Yan's teacher had reached the Divine Arcane Supremacy.

The difference between the two was the same as the difference between the Yin Lord and the Yang Lord of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord level. Nothing was comparable.

"Are you scared, Miss Ye?" Ling Yan's laughter came from the Supreme Token.

"Scared? Why will I be scared? I shall prepare myself to be killed when he comes." Ye Qingtang shook her head.

"You're angry with me, Miss Ye," Ling Yan said.

"At least you're smart," Ye Qingtang said.

Ye Qingtang had no relationship with Ling Yan's teacher. However, he intended to kill her now because of Ling Yan. How was it possible for her not to be angry?

"Don't worry too much, Miss Ye. This piece of mainland limits the ability of Arcane Supremacy. Even my teacher's ability is limited to the Sixth Heaven of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord. Furthermore, you have three disciples at Arcane Supremacy with you. Why do you need to be scared?" Ling Yan said.

"You're asking them to die for me?" Ye Qingtang frowned.

"Why would I be bothered with others' lives? I only need you to be safe, and that's enough for me." Ling Yan smiled and said.

Before Ye Qingtang could reply, Ling Yan added. "If that doesn't work, you can use your Spirit Ring to kill him."

868 Aren“t You Scared?

"My ring? What ring?" Ye Qingtang did not know what he was talking about, and her face was filled with confusion.

"Of course, I'm referring to the ring on your finger," Ling Yan said.

Ye Qingtang sized up her fingers instinctively as she heard Ling Yan's words.

There was only one ring on her finger, which was given by Han Cangming, the Palace Lord of the Antiquity Palace.

However, how would Ling Yan know the name of the ring… and the ring could even kill his teacher?

"You know about this ring?" Ye Qingtang was shocked.

"Of course," Ling Yan said.

"Wait… You know about Han Cangming?" Ye Qingtang frowned and asked.

"Han Cangming…" Ling Yan was silent for a while at the other end of the Supreme Token.

"Han Cangming… I almost forgot about this name…"

There was no clear reply from Ling Yan.

"How did you know about this ring?" Ye Qingtang asked confusedly.

After a long while, Ling Yan's voice came out from the voice transmission stone again. "Of course. The ring belonged to me."

"What did you say?!" Ye Qingtang could not believe what she just heard.

However, before Ye Qingtang could say anything else, Ling Yan interrupted. "Miss Ye, I was just joking… But remember, the ring is powerful, and you can only use it once only."

After Ling Yan finished his words, there was no more sound coming out of the Supreme Token no matter how Ye Qingtang tried to ask or call him.

She did not fall asleep for the entire night, and the next day arrived.

Gu Tianhe, Feng Wudang, and Li Bingxue came to find Ye Qingtang.

The area they were at was considered a dead vein. They needed to go deeper for more exposure.

"Junior Brothers and Junior Sister… I think we should go our separate ways from now onward."

Before the three of them said anything, Ye Qingtang first spoke.

After hearing Ye Qingtang's words, the three of them were stunned slightly. Why was that necessary when nothing had happened?

"Senior Sister Ye, are you leaving?" Li Bingxue held Ye Qingtang's arm and asked.

"Yes." Ye Qingtang nodded.

"Senior Sister Ye, why is that so? Did we do anything wrong?" Feng Wudang asked confusedly.

"It's not related to you. It's just that… my enemy is going to kill me anytime. I don't want to drag you into that." Ye Qingtang sighed and said.

"Enemy… who is that?!" Gu Tianhe said coldly.

"Perfected Gu Yun…" Ye Qingtang said.

"Perfected Gu Yun? Isn't he the teacher of the Eternal Dynasty Ling Yan? He's just Ling Yan's servant." Feng Wudang scoffed and said.

"Don't be afraid, Senior Sister Ye! The Supreme Academy is at the complete opposite end with Ling Yan. We are loyal to the elder prince only. If the Perfected Gu Yun wants to kill you, he's committing suicide!" Li Bingxue said.

"That's right. If we kill the Perfected Gu Yun, we will get an award when we return to the Supreme Academy!" Feng Wudang nodded and said.

Not many people knew that the Perfected Gu Yun actually sided with the elder prince. He was still Ling Yan's person on the surface. Students of the Supreme Academy would definitely not know the complicated relations in between.

Ye Qingtang was speechless as the three of them were eager to fight the Perfected Gu Yun. Now, she understood the reason why Ling Yan was so sure that the three people would agree to fight against Perfected Gu Yun.

If they met Perfected Gu Yun, they would fight him with all their strength even if Ye Qingtang was not around. Once the Perfected Gu Yun died in their hands… they would definitely be rewarded after they returned to the Supreme Academy!

"Perfected Gu Yun was at the Divine Arcane Supremacy. Aren't you scared?" Ye Qingtang said.

869 Can You Run Away?

The three of them were silent after hearing what Ye Qingtang said.

As what Ye Qingtang said, Perfected Gu Yun was at the Divine Arcane Supremacy level, but they were just at the Virtual Arcane Supremacy level.

After a while, Gu Tianhe said, "It's okay. We do not need to worry about that too much. No matter how strong he is, his ability will be limited at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord level on piece of mainland."

"That's right. There's no chance of escaping if we meet Perfected Gu Yun outside… We will not even get the chance to fight back. However, everyone here is at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord level. We can try our best to fight and kill him. We will be rewarded when we get back to the academy!" Feng Wudang nodded and said.

Li Bingxue was also tempted upon hearing Feng Wudang and Gu Tianhe's words.

"Senior Sister Ye, you cannot leave! We can combine our forces and kill Perfected Gu Yun. Then, we shall split the credits," Feng Wudang said immediately.

If Ye Qingtang left, the three of them would not dare to challenge Perfected Gu Yun.

"Okay. Since you're so determined, I shall thank you for your help." Ye Qingtang folded her fists towards the three people and said.

"Haha, that's what we should do. We should thank you for such a rare opportunity to kill Perfected Gu Yun!" Feng Wudang was slightly excited as he said.

Ye Qingtang discussed strategies with the three of them instantly.

Soon, the three of them left, and Ye Qingtang remained at somewhere far away.

Ye Qingtang crossed her legs and sat on the ground to consolidate her cultivation.

Ye Qingtang gently touched the Spirit Ring that Ling Yan mentioned. She hoped that the ring would be as powerful as Ling Yan described. Hopefully, the power it contained would be able to kill Perfected Gu Yun with one attack.

Though Ye Qingtang had no relationships with the three people, she found that the three of them were kind after spending a few days with them. In all honesty, it was not that they were going to fight against Perfected Gu Yun just because they wanted to help her. They were just manipulated by Ling Yan as he knew about their greed towards rewards. However, no matter what, Ye Qingtang did not want anything to happen to them. She might still use the ring at the critical moment.

The sky appeared to be golden in color at dawn.

Swoosh!

A piercing sound was heard.

An elder appeared in mid-air at the next second and looked downward at Ye Qingtang.

"Young lady." A cold voice came from his mouth.

Ye Qingtang opened her eyes and looked towards the elder as she heard the voice. Her face was full of confusion, and she asked, "May I know who are you? What do you want?"

Perfected Gu Yun waved his sleeve and said, "Are you a student of the Supreme Academy?"

"Yes." Ye Qingtang replied.

"Do you know Ling Yan!" Perfected Gu Yun continued.

Ye Qingtang's face changed immediately, and she said, "Ling Yan Highness… Of course, but he doesn't know me."

"Oh? Is that true? Then I'm curious about why he would ward off the sword for you." Perfected Gu Yun scoffed.

"You… How did you know!" Ye Qingtang stood up instantly and stared at the elder.

"Humph, young lady, you will die here today!" The moment he finished his words, he dashed towards Ye Qingtang.

However, before Perfected Gu Yun could get close to Ye Qingtang, she used all her strength and ran towards the forest with her full speed.

"Humph, can you run away from me?" Perfected Gu Yun sneered and followed up.

870 Flawless

Ye Qingtang ran into the deeper parts of the forest within a second.

Perfected Gu Yun was extremely fast as well. He turned into a streak of light and disappeared as well.

Soon, Perfected Gu Yun traced Ye Qingtang's leaving path and entered the deep parts of the forest.

However, at that moment, golden rays of lights appeared around him, and he smelled something ancient.

Perfected Gu Yun's face changed instantly. Before he had any reaction, he was surrounded by the golden rays of light.

"Sealed Sky Formation?"

Perfected Gu Yun sized up his surroundings in the golden light and murmured.

The Sealed Sky Formation was a special array formation of the Supreme Academy. It was invented by a few of the previous presidents together.

The Sealed Sky Formation was extremely powerful, but it required a few people to set up the formation. It would take a few hours at least.

Why is there a Sealed Sky Formation here…

Ye Qingtang walked out from the dark. She scoffed as she stared at Perfected Gu Yun, who was trapped inside the golden light.

Perfected Gu Yun would never be able to imagine that his every moment was well-known by Ling Yan. He would not expect that Ling Yan had warned her earlier that Perfected Gu Yun would try to kill her, and she had prepared the Sealed Sky Formation of the Supreme Academy to lurk him into the trap.

"You… you were prepared?!"

Perfected Gu Yun, who was trapped inside the golden lights, said coldly as Ye Qingtang appeared from the dark.

"Isn't that obvious?" Ye Qingtang scoffed.

"You knew when I was going to find you… So, you set the golden light array…" Perfected Gu Yun scoffed.

"What a shame. You found out about it way too late." Ye Qingtang replied.

"How did you know my presence and how did you know that I would be here to kill you…" Perfected Gu Yun frowned and said.

However, before Ye Qingtang said anything, Perfected Gu Yun's expression suddenly changed.

"Is it… Ling Yan?!"

Perfected Gu Yun seemed to recall something suddenly and was shocked.

"You're smart. It's Ling Yan indeed." Ye Qingtang smiled softly and said.

"It's impossible! How could he know that I betrayed him… Furthermore, I wasn't with him for the whole time recently. How could he know that I would be here to kill you!" Perfected Gu Yun shouted angrily.

All the things he had done were considered flawless. He even hid his martial breath when he stalked Ling Yan. He always stood far from here, so he was sure that he would never be discovered. However, despite that, Ling Yan still discovered his identity…

Ye Qingtang shook her head and said, "Why are you still asking so many questions when you know he's Ling Yan… He would definitely know everything since you betrayed him. What he had done was based on his own inference. Even if he inferred wrongly, he could just prepare beforehand to prevent any loss… You have at least followed Ling Yan for so many years. How come your understanding of him is scarcer than mine?"

"Bullsh*t!" Perfected Gu Yun shouted in rage. Everything he had done was useless and a waste of time. He was like a naked clown in Ling Yan's eyes?!

"Perfected Gu Yun, you're trapped inside the Sealed Sky Formation now. What else can you do?" Ye Qingtang said.

Upon hearing Ye Qingtang's words, Perfected Gu Yun pulled himself out from his thoughts. A cold smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Young lady, do you really think that the Sealed Sky Formation of the Supreme Academy can trap me forever?!"

871 Divine Supreme Dharma Treasure

Perfected Gu Yun laughed coldly. The Sealed Sky Formation of the Supreme Academy was terrifying, but it was not unbreakable to him.

"Hahaha, Perfected Gu Yun, I have never expected that you would end up like this one day!"

Suddenly, Gu Tianhe, Li Bingxue, and Feng Wudang walked out from the dark slowly.

"Students of the Supreme Academy…"

Perfected Gu Yun's eyes were filled with coldness when he saw the three people.

"How dare you betray the elder prince!" Perfected Gu Yun shouted coldly.

The three of them were stunned upon hearing Perfected Gu Yun's words. Their faces were full of confusion. Was Perfected Gu Yun mad? What nonsense was he talking about?!

"What a joke. You're just a Ling Yan's servant. You know you're going to die here today, and that's why you start to talk nonsense!" Feng Wudang laughed coldly.

"Don't bother to talk to him!" Li Bingxue said.

"You will all be dead when I break out of the formation." Perfected Gu Yun shouted in anger.

Without giving any chance for the three people to speak, Perfected Gu Yun started to punch the Sealed Sky Formation that trapped him.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom, boom!!

Deafening sounds were heard continuously. It seemed that even the sky and the earth were going to break under Perfected Gu Yun's punches.

Cracks appeared on the Sealed Sky Formation very soon under his punches.

The three people had different expressions slightly upon seeing that.

Perfected Gu Yun was indeed at the Divine Arcane Supremacy level. The Sealed Sky Formation that was set up by their level of cultivation would be broken into pieces by Perfected Gu Yun's punches easily if they were outside this mainland.

It was lucky that the spirit energy on this mainland was not enough, which limited Perfected Gu Yun's true martial ability. If not, they would definitely be dead after provoking Perfected Gu Yun!

"Hahahaha! Perfected Gu Yun, I'm advising you to stop wasting your energy and not struggle to escape here. The regenerating power of the Sealed Sky Formation is very strong. It's useless unless you can break it instantly!" Feng Wudang sneered and said as he stared at Perfected Gu Yun, who punched continuously.

The cracks that were created by Perfected Gu Yun's punches were recovering with noticeable speed. It seemed that the Sealed Sky Formation had not gone through any serious attack.

Perfected Gu Yun knew about the Sealed Sky Formation and stopped his movement.

In the darkness of the forest at the same time…

Two young men were observing the situation in front of them, and they frowned heavily.

"People of the Supreme Academy…" one of the men said.

"Perfected Gu Yun is trapped inside the Sealed Sky Formation?" the other man said.

"Humph, we were never in good terms with the Supreme Academy. Should we kill them all? They should have acquired a lot of good stuff from the Dragon Vein!"

"We should wait till they use up their energy!"

The two people were students of the Divine Virtual Academy in the Central Mainland. Around ten of them entered the Dragon Vein this time.

The Divine Virtual Academy and the Supreme Academy were in conflicts over the past hundreds of years. Whenever the students of the two academies met, they would use their swords to fight each other. One misspoken word might lead to a fight that determined one's survival.

…

"You little bastards! You will be dead today." A glint of cold light flashed across Perfected Gu Yun's eyes. He then took out a gold square seal from his space ring.

"Heaven Tremor Seal?! Divine Arcane Supremacy Dharma treasure!"

Gu Tianhe and Li Bingxue were shocked when they saw the square seal in Perfected Gu Yun's hands.

872 Great Enemy

The Dharma treasure was matched with different cultivation levels, such as the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Dharma treasure, Arcane Supremacy Dharma treasure, and Heavenly Venerate Dharma treasure.

Every Dharma treasure was extremely precious, and the Arcane Supremacy Dharma treasures were very rare. Li Bingxue and Gu Tianhe had never heard of the Heavenly Venerate Dharma treasure at all. There might be a few in the entire Central Mainland.

The square seal that Perfected Gu Yun was holding was called the Heaven Tremor Seal. According to the rumors, one of the powerful inhumans was killed and taken back by humans when the inhuman race attacked the first domain in the past. The seal was equivalent to the second stage of the Arcane Supremacy Dharma treasure. It was extremely powerful!

Though the spirit energy was limited on this mainland, which restrained cultivators' abilities, that only applied to cultivators. The Dharma treasure still worked, and their power was not influenced at all!

The three of them were all stunned when Perfected Gu Yun took out the Divine Supreme Dharma treasure. An ominous feeling arose in their hearts.

"Break!"

Perfected Gu Yun shouted coldly.

The Heaven Tremor Seal rose at the next second and radiated dazzling lusters. It hit the Sealed Sky Formation at the next instant.

Crack! Crack!

Broken sounds arose in the mid-air, and golden rays of light fell from the sky like golden rain.

"SH*T!" Gu Tianhe was shocked. The Heaven Tremor Seal's one hit was able to break the Sealed Sky Formation…

"Don't panic! The Heaven Tremor Seal is a Divine Supreme Dharma treasure. His ability is suppressed at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord level on this mainland. Based on his current ability, his power will be drawn from his body every time he uses the Dharma treasure. He will not be able to use that many times!" Feng Wudang frowned and said.

Li Bingxue and Gu Tianhe's expressions were slightly better after they heard Feng Wudang's words.

As Feng Wudang had said, the Divine Arcane Supreme Dharma treasure was equivalent to one at the Divine Arcane Supremacy. One could only use the Heaven Tremor Seal perfectly with the Divine Arcane Supremacy's ability.

Perfected Gu Yun was an Arcane Supremacy, but his martial ability was suppressed heavily on this mainland. His fighting ability was only at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord level!

As a Yin Yang Perfected Lord, how many times could he use the Divine Supreme Dharma treasure?!

"Young people, I want you dead!"

Perfected Gu Yun finally escaped from the Sealed Sky Formation. His sinister eyes swept across the three people.

The students of the Supreme Academy had just entered the Arcane Supremacy level not long ago. They were just normal Virtual Arcane Supremacies. They were like ants in his eyes.

However, the ants pushed him to such an extent that he had to exhaust almost half of his energy to use the Heaven Tremor Seal!

"Perfected Gu Yun, based on your current ability, you can use the Heaven Tremor Seal at most three times! You used it one time just now, and you are left with two more times. If you use it by force again, your energy will be totally depleted, and you will be dead by then!" Feng Wudang shouted harshly.

"Perfected Gu Yun, we have four people here, but you are only left with two times to use the Heaven Tremor Seal. We will use two of our lives in exchange for your life!" Gu Tianhe said.

Swoosh!

Perfected Gu Yun did not reply. Instead, he reached in front of Feng Wudang instantly. Before the rest knew what happened, Perfected Gu Yun punched towards Feng Wudang.

873 Gap

No one could see clearly how Perfected Gu Yun attacked, and even Ye Qingtang merely saw the track of his punch.

Nonetheless, in the next second, a loud thunderous boom erupted. Feng Wudang, pale, was hurled away before crashing at a far place like a kite with a snapped string.

Puff!

Feng Wudang spat a mouthful of blood after landing on the ground.

Very quickly, Perfected Gu Yun placed the Dharma treasure back in his space ring before sweeping a glance at everyone as though he was looking at ants. He said coldly, "Do I still need to use the Heaven Tremor Seal the second time to deal with you all?"

"You!" As though she was facing a strong enemy, Li Bingxue immediately unsheathed her sword with a sharp sound.

"Junior Sister Ye, Senior Sister Ye, let's join forces and fight it out with Perfected Gu Yun!" Gu Tianhe looked at Ye Qingtang and Li Bingxue individually.

Even if Perfected Gu Yun's skills were repressed to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm in this mainland, they could not be compared to Perfected Gu Yun in any aspect even though they were all at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm as well.

In these past few days, Ye Qingtang's body had completely used up the spirit energy in the Glazed Cup, and her martial realm was stabilized at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven, yet it was still too far away compared to Perfected Gu Yun.

For Li Bingxue and Gu Tianhe, they currently only had the combat power of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Fourth Heaven.

Meanwhile, Perfected Gu Yun was at the Divine Arcane Supremacy realm in the Central Mainland, and although his martial skills were severely repressed, he still had the combat power of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Sixth Heaven!

Currently, even if Ye Qingtang, Li Bingxue, and Gu Tianhe joined forces, there was no possibility of winning given the overly-huge gap between them and Perfected Gu Yun.

Ye Qingtang could not help but find it a pity. If Perfected Gu Yun did not have the Heaven Tremor Seal, a Divine Arcane Supremacy Dharma treasure, it was impossible for him to break the Sealed Sky Formation, which was equivalent to a definite death…

That way, Ye Qingtang's Spirit Ring could be saved. However, the current circumstances were completely beyond control, and the Spirit Ring was Ye Qingtang's last hidden card.

Ye Qingtang had an extremely solemn expression. According to what Ling Yan had said, the Spirit Ring could only be used once, and she had to achieve a kill within a shot. Otherwise… she, Li Bingxue, and Gu Tianhe would definitely die today!

"Lowly dog, I want your life!"

An extremely frightening martial aura exploded from Li Bingxue. She turned into a passing shadow, and she slashed her sword towards Perfected Gu Yun.

Noticing the situation, Gu Tianhe launched a killing move as well and fought Perfected Gu Yun with his life.

The two people were not foolish and naturally understood that if they did not fight it out with Perfected Gu Yun today, they probably would not have any more chance to do it again.

Perfected Gu Yun's skills were much more powerful than theirs, and even if they fled, it was simply impossible for them to escape from Perfected Gu Yun's hands.

If they did not go all out, they would definitely die, but if they did, perhaps there was still a possibility of survival!

However, Ye Qingtang remained far away and did not join forces with Li Bingxue and Gu Tianhe. Instead, she continuously changed her angle and position in search of the best opportunity.

Ye Qingtang was aware that she only had one chance and that the outcome would be disastrous if she failed this time!

Boom!

Pow!

Before long, Perfected Gu Yun struck a fist and a palm out at the same time. Li Bingxue and Gu Tianhe, who were no match for Perfected Gu Yun, were flung far away from the impact successively.

"Die!"

With a stern shout, Perfected Gu Yun grabbed Gu Tianhe's body and wanted to tear Gu Tianhe into pieces with unparalleled brute force.

A miserable cry escaped Gu Tianhe's mouth.

874 Frightening Skills

Li Bingxue shuddered upon witnessing the sight, and a trace of fear finally emerged on her exquisite face.

Perfected Gu Yun's skills were too powerful, and even if they joined forces, they still had no chance of winning. This match would definitely end with their death…

From the moment they decided to attack Perfected Gu Yun, perhaps their outcome was already decided!

"Ah…"

The miserable cries persisted, and Gu Tianhe's body seemed to be about to be torn into pieces.

"How's it? This isn't a good feeling, isn't it?" Perfected Gu Yun scoffed. "However, don't be afraid, I will not let you die so easily. I will let you enjoy this painful process well."

From aside, there were still blood stains on the corners Li Bingxue's lips as despair filled her heart.

"Kill me… Quickly… kill me!" Gu Tianhe could no longer bear this pain and was only thinking of seeking death.

"I will… fight it out with you!" At this instant, an icy aura exploded from Feng Wudang, who was previously hurled away by Perfected Gu Yun, and he flew to Perfected Gu Yun's side immediately.

Hearing that, Perfected Gu Yun shot a look at Feng Wudang indifferently as a scorn hung on his lips. Then, he used his imposing manner and immediately hurled Feng Wudang away from the impact.

"Alright, I'll send you all off. There's no need to thank me for my compassion," Perfected Gu Yun said, and the strength in his hands increased all of a sudden.

However…

At this moment.

Swoosh!

A deafening sound reverberated in the surroundings. It was as though it was the very first sound that exploded when the universe was first created, shaking one's mind.

Perfected Gu Yun's expression changed immediately when he heard the sound, and almost instinctively, he turned around to look behind immediately.

However, just as he was turning around, a black ray of light that could hardly be seen with the naked eye condensed into that of a thin thread. Its speed was extremely fast, and it appeared in Perfected Gu Yun's sight in the blink of an eye.

Puff!

Under Li Bingxue and Feng Wudang's shocked gaze, that black ray of light pierced through Perfected Gu Yun's glabella in an instant.

In the next second, a mix of red and white unknown liquids gradually flowed out of the hole in Perfected Gu Yun's pierced skull.

Perfected Gu Yun widened his eyes in disbelief. He followed the trajectory of the black ray of light and looked towards Ye Qingtang, who was standing far away.

In at most a few breaths, Perfected Gu Yun staggered, and the ground was stained into a strange, demonic red by the blood.

Boom!

Before long, Perfected Gu Yun's body collapsed on the ground squarely. After twitching for a while, he no longer had any movement and died at the scene.

"This…"

Li Bingxue and Feng Wudang exchanged a look and instinctively looked at Ye Qingtang.

"Senior… Senior Sister Ye… is actually this powerful?!" Shock filled Feng Wudang's face.

"Lie… It's a lie, isn't it! How did she do it?! That is Perfected Gu Yun…" Li Bingxue's mouth was agape.

Ye Qingtang was a distance away from Li Bingxue and Feng Wudang. Hence, they naturally did not know that Ye Qingtang was rubbing the plain-looking ring on her finger and thought that Ye Qingtang slaughtered Perfected Gu Yun with her own skills.

It was not just that. In a corner in the forest.

The two students from Divine Virtual Academy stared in bewilderment.

Since when did Supreme Academy produce such a scary student?!

Even that well-known Perfected Gu Yun was so easily killed by her?!

875 Gains

"Quickly leave. If that woman from the Supreme Academy discovers us…"

One of the males' forehead was beaded in cold sweat.

The Supreme Academy and Divine Virtual Academy were like ice and fire. Whenever the students from these two academies met, their eyes would be blazed with hatred, and they would beat each other to death.

Initially, they planned to hide in the dark and reap the spoils of the fight without lifting a finger, yet looking at it now, they should just forget about it.

The two people then retreated cautiously.

…

"How are your injuries?"

Very quickly, Ye Qingtang walked forward and looked at the three people.

Among them, Gu Tianhe's injuries were the most serious.

"Still… alright," Gu Tianhe said between large pants.

"Senior Sister Ye… you… you are too amazing…" Feng Wudang looked at Ye Qingtang with reverence. Earlier on, he originally thought that there was no hope left, but who knew that Ye Qingtang would kill Perfected Gu Yun with just a move?

Ye Qingtang could not be bothered to explain anything either. She walked to Perfected Gu Yun's side swiftly. She searched his body and found a few bottles of elixirs.

"Consume it."

Ye Qingtang immediately took three sacred healing elixirs and tossed one to three of them each.

The three people consumed the elixirs immediately with gratitude.

This sacred healing elixir was carried by powerful figures of the Divine Arcane Supremacy realm. Thus, its effects definitely could not be compared to that of her own healing elixirs.

Subsequently, Ye Qingtang took Perfected Gu Yun's space ring without a sound and kept it.

The space ring of a Divine Arcane Supremacy…

With just a casual thought, one would know that there was definitely shocking wealth in it. From just what Ye Qingtang knew, there was a Heaven Tremor Seal Dharma treasure, which was of a Divine Arcane Supremacy level!

"Senior Sister Ye… Perfected Gu Yun's head…" Feng Wudang smiled at Ye Qingtang.

Currently, Perfected Gu Yun's space ring disappeared, which meant that Ye Qingtang must have taken it. Perfected Gu Yun was singlehandedly killed by Ye Qingtang, and they naturally had no objections. However, Perfected Gu Yun's head had some temptation to them.

A large reason as to why the three of them were willing to take a risk was also because they wanted to obtain Perfected Gu Yun's head.

Immediately, Li Bingxue and Gu Tianhe looked at Ye Qingtang with desire as well.

Ye Qingtang pretended to be deep in thought and subsequently acted as though she was very reluctant. "Alright, Perfected Gu Yun's head is all yours."

The three of them were extremely excited upon hearing Ye Qingtang's words.

"Haha, Thank you! Thank you so much, Senior Sister Ye!!" Feng Wudang hurriedly thanked with cupped fists.

"Senior Sister Ye is the best!" Li Bingxue had a delighted expression.

Swiftly, Gu Tianhe stepped forward and beheaded Perfected Gu Yun before storing it in his space ring.

At this moment, the three people were gathered together as they discussed how to obtain the greatest benefit from this head after they left the Dragon Vein.

On the other hand, Ye Qingtang stood aside and took out Perfected Gu Yun's space ring.

However, this space ring was sealed by a powerful mental seal of a Divine Arcane Supremacy. Given Ye Qingtang's current abilities, it was not realistic and almost impossible to break the mental seal of a Divine Arcane Supremacy and open this space ring.

Yet, the more it was so, the more curious was Ye Qingtang. What kind of immense wealth was there in the space ring of a Divine Arcane Supremacy!

Just a Heaven Tremor Seal at the Divine Arcane Supremacy level was already priceless!

876 In the Name of the Demon God

Ye Qingtang held Perfected Gu Yun's space ring in her hand. She frowned and immersed herself in her thoughts.

The value of the space ring was unmeasurable. However, if she could not open it now, it was considered useless.

If she wanted to open Perfected Gu Yun's space ring, she must enter the second stage of the Arcane Supremacy, which was the Divine Arcane Supremacy, and use the same mental power to destroy Perfected Gu Yun's mental power. Otherwise, it was impossible.

"Maybe Ling Yan can figure out a way…" Ye Qingtang murmured.

…

At the peak of a snowy mountain at the same time…

Ling Yan was in deep thought as he saw a plant that wilted in a short period of time in front of him.

"Han Cangming…"

A luster flashed across Ling Yan's eyes after a long while.

What a familiar but unfamiliar name…

"Hahaha, Ling Yan, it's been a long time!"

An elder's voice suddenly came from a far place.

Ling Yan looked forward instantly.

An elder slowly walked closer with a silver wolf.

If Ye Qingtang was present, she would be surprised by the identity of the elder. He was Master Du, who was missing for a long period of time!

"You're here." Ling Yan smiled and looked at Master Du.

"Haha, I have been here for quite a while," Master Du said and walked towards Ling Yan.

However, astonishment appeared in the silver wolf's malicious eyes when its eyes landed on Ling Yan. It sniffed Ling Yan continuously with its nose.

"Ling Yan, do you recognize this silver wolf?" Master Du smiled and asked.

Ling Yan smiled and shook his head, but he did not reply.

"The silver wolf was transformed by the Demon God, Han Cangming," Master Du said meaningfully.

"Well… Everyone knows the power of the Demon God hundreds of years ago. He was one of the top three strongest people together with the Fiend Honor and Human Emperor. However, everyone thought that the Fiend Honor was a fiend, that the Human Emperor was a human, and that the Demon God was a demon… Ling Yan, do you think the Demon God was transformed from a real demon?" Master Du added.

"Blossom takes a hundred years, and wilt takes another hundred years… He could be a human before the hundred years of blossom and could have become a demon after the hundred years of wilt… None of these matter in this world." Ling Yan smiled and replied.

"Hahaha Ling Yan, you still like to say such mysterious stuff that other people do not understand. You should know that the Demon God was called by this name just because he had the intelligence of a demon. No one could compare with him. Even the strongest among the three, Heavenly Emperor, was tricked by the Demon God… However, why does the Demon God not have the intelligence anymore today after hundreds of years… Why does he loses his feelings and emotions and only exists as a person with insane martial ability?" Master Du shook his head and said.

"Is it? Then that's strange." Ling Yan smiled.

"The Demon God back then was less powerful than the Heavenly Emperor, but he was never at a disadvantage when facing the Heavenly Emperor. During the war at the Eternal Peach Garden, the Demon God was surrounded by thirty thousand people. It was supposed to be a deadly situation, but a few of his casual sentences made the three thousand people, including the Heavenly Emperor, not dare to attack. The Demon God left the place with a sinister smile under everyone's gaze… By coincidence, I was there as well…" As Master Du was speaking, his eyes constantly sized up Ling Yan.

However, it seemed that Ling Yan was listening to someone else. He showed no emotion or reaction.

"Ling Yan… Don't you think that it's strange? The Demon God back then could see through people's hearts, and he could turn around a deadly situation with a few sentences. Hang Cangming was incredibly striking. How come the Demon God now only keeps the martial ability back then… All his emotions and intelligence is missing, and he is only left with an emotionless body?" Master Du said.

877 A Striking Plan

"So, what do you want to say?" Ling Yan finally spoke after a long time.

Master Du shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just feel that… The Demon God's soul was gone long ago. Based on your intelligence, can you figure out where his soul and mind are now?"

"Everything is based on your assumptions now, right?" Ling Yan smiled and said.

"Right. Those are all my assumptions, and I think I can continue to presume. Ling Yan, do you think that the Demon God knew about his death tribulation from the Heavenly Emperor and pulled his heart and soul out of the body using his demonic intelligence? He then became another person and left his martial talents and ability in that body… The death tribulation would only look for that body. No one could ever imagine that the Demon God's soul and heart would be reborn in a normal human, who would carry the Demon God's memory. He hid in the dark to fight against the heavens and his destiny…" Master Du said.

"Hehe… You have a wild imagination. So, based on what you have said, the Demon God not only schemed his destiny but also himself." Ling Yan chuckled and said.

"That's right. The Demon God did not absorb his own power and left the body as the Heavenly Dao might discover his plan. If my assumptions were correct, I have to say that I really admire him… The Demon God abandoned his martial talent and ability and became a useless person who could not cultivate after he was reborn… Just like you." Master Du said.

"So, you're saying that I'm useless." Ling Yan replied, but he did not seem to be offended.

"Haha, Ling Yan, I'm just telling the truth. Based on your martial ability, any cultivator from the Central Mainland can kill you easily," Master Du said.

Before Ling Yan continued to talk, Master Du suddenly stared at Ling Yan seriously and said, "Ling Yan, even if you're given the power that can turn over the entire world, you will not accept it. Besides lacking martial talent, you're afraid that destiny may sense your presence… You're the true Demon God, and Han Cangming was just a body. He does not have much thinking, no emotions, and he can only execute actions based on right or wrong… Even the name Han Cangming belongs to you, right?"

Master Du did not give Ling Yan any chance to reply as he continued. "The Demon God knew something from the Heavenly Emperor, and he started to plan and scheme everything using his one and only demonic intelligence. He even treated himself as the chess piece just to trick his destiny. He pulled out his soul and heart and was reborn with entire memory, Eventually, he became the third prince of the Eternal Dynasty. The name Han Cangming was the past tense. He was reborn as Ling Yan now… However, his body continued to live in this world with the identity as the Demon God. No one knows that the Demon God now does not have feelings, emotions, and thoughts. He can only live with instincts. The real Demon God manages to trick everyone with his intelligence and plans everything in the darkness… Everything is under his control."

After a long time, Ling Yan smiled and said, "Interesting. It seems like it's true that the dragon's intelligence is above everyone else. I almost believed your story as well."

878 Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix

\"Shed off your human skin,\" Ling Yan said after a while.

As Ling Yan finished his words, a strange smile appeared on Master Du's face. His entire body transformed into a layer of skin, and an azure little dragon walked out of the skin slowly.

\"You told me that there was a place with Dragon Vein that belonged to my clan on this piece of mainland back then. You asked me to hide here and it has been so many years.\" The little azure dragon stared at Ling Yan in discontentment.

\"You belong to the dragon clan, one of the four Fiendcelestial Beasts, and only you can sense the presence of the Dragon Vein. You can also ignore the existence of the Dimension Wall.\" Ling Yan smiled and said.

\"Humph! I'm the great Fiendcelestial Beast with supreme intelligence. I was schemed by you previously… If not, how could I sign a contract with a useless person like you.\" The little azure dragon scoffed coldly.

Ling Yan asked the little azure dragon to enter the mainland secretly back then. The little azure dragon then disguised as the refining master and searched for the Dragon Vein.

\"However… If you're the real Demon God, I will feel more balanced with the contract signed. Can't you admit it to me?\" The little azure dragon begged.

Ling Yan smiled and shook his head.

\"Ling Yan, I don't believe that my assumptions are wrong!\" The little azure dragon refused to accept that it was wrong.

It suspected Ling Yan's identity long ago. However, by coincidence, the Demon God, Han Cangming, transformed into a silver wolf and followed Ye Qingtang.

Based on the little azure dragon's observation, Han Cangming had incredible martial ability and now functioned with little thoughts. He was still an empty body that contained energy. He could not even be called as a complete human!

\"So, based on what you have said, the Demon God, Han Cangming, is the same person as me?\" Ling Yan said.

\"Wrong! Han Cangming was your name. Even the Demon God now was your body! You can trick everyone besides me. I belong to the azure dragon clan. We're the most intelligent ones among all the demonic beasts… Of course, we're slightly less intelligent than you. Slightly!\" The little azure dragon shook its head and said.

\"Nonsense. Don't think about these things anymore. I'm Ling Yan, not the Demon God,\" Ling Yan said.

\"It's okay if you don't want to admit it. They were just my assumptions,\" the little azure dragon said.

\"Then I think it's better for you to not presume things in the future.\" Ling Yan stared at the little azure dragon meaningfully.

\"Talk about the Dragon Vein,\" Ling Yan said seriously after a short while.

\"The Dragon Vein here is totally different from the one described in the rumors. One of the strong azure dragons in my clan fell in love with the Divine Phoenix. However, they encountered the Heavenly Demon, and that resulted in an epic war. The True Dragon and the Divine Phoenix fought together against the Heavenly Demon. Eventually, all three of them were dead and fell here.\" The little azure dragon contemplated for a while and said.

\"Furthermore, the white tiger beside Ye Qingtang knew about my true identity long ago. It just did not expose me. Why do you want me to lead Ye Qingtang to the Dragon Vein?\" The little azure dragon was confused.

\"Miss Ye is my best friend… I think the inheritance of Divine Phoenix in the Dragon Vein is suitable for her,\" Ling Yan said.

\"What?! Do you know how rare and precious the inheritance of Divine Phoenix is? Now you want to give it to her?! Giving it to me will be better than giving it to her! Are you humane? I treated you wholeheartedly all the time!\" The little azure dragon's face was filled with astonishment.

Ling Yan was not angry after hearing its words. He just smiled and said, \"We'll share the inheritance of the True Dragon. I don't think that you're suitable for the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.\"

879 The Azure Dragon 1

The little azure dragon was in thought. It then looked towards Ling Yan and asked in disbelief, \"You're really willing to share half of the Inheritance of the True Dragon with me just for her?\"

The little azure dragon was clearly aware of how precious the inheritance of the Dragon Vein was to Ling Yan. However…

\"It'll just be a possession in my life that I can't take away with me if I'm dead. It doesn't matter if I share half of it with you.\" Ling Yan smiled and said.

\"That's not what you said previously. I'm curious. If you were the Demon God, what kind of death calamity would make you leave your body and be reborn with your soul and memories… It's not the Heavenly Emperor who caused the death calamity right…\" The little azure dragon asked meaningfully.

Thirty thousand people and the Heavenly Emperor could not do anything to the Demon God. The Demon God left under everyone's gaze. Thus, based on its assumption, the Demon God was definitely not afraid of the Heavenly Emperor. However, if it was not the Heavenly Emperor, who else could force the intelligent Demon God to the standard that he needed to come out with such a plan?!

The azure dragons possessed demonic intelligence. However, he had no clue about that.

\"I think you are less smart than the white tiger beside Miss Ye.\" Ling Yan smiled and shook his head as he stared at how confused the little azure dragon was.

\"What did you say?!\" The azure dragon shouted in a rage after hearing Ling Yan's words.

\"It just has thicker skin than me. It's not smart! I guess that it's guided by someone else, but I presume everything by myself. It's a totally different case!\"

Ling Yan just smiled gently but did not say anything.

\"Let's leave. I get irritated whenever I see it.\" The little azure dragon stared at the silver wolf beside Ling Yan and said.

\"ARH-WOOOOOO!\"

However, the silver wolf suddenly gained courage and gnashed its teeth at the little azure dragon.

\"Oh… that's interesting. The silver wolf that was formed from the demonic air seems to be very close to you, Ling Yan…\" The little azure dragon said and stared at Ling Yan meaningfully.

\"Aren't you very close to me as well?\" Ling Yan said.

\"Pfft!\" the little azure dragon scoffed and was about to grab the tail of the silver wolf and leave.

\"ARH-WOOOOOO!\"

However, the silver wolf was getting fiercer and was not willing to leave.

\"You… Is this a dog's nature when it sees its master?! Forget about it. You can wait for your death here!\" The little azure dragon scoffed.

The little azure dragon then put on its human skin, disguising itself as Master Du, and left.

In the Dragon Vein at the same time, Li Bingxue and the rest left earlier as they had something else to deal with. After the three people left, the little white tiger suddenly probed its head out and looked towards the distant place. \"F*ck! No wonder I could sense the breath of the Fiendcelestial Beast on that old man… I did not expect that it would be an azure dragon.\"

\"What azure dragon?!\"

Ye Qingtang, who was observing the space ring, suddenly asked.

\"Nothing, I was just saying that there's an azure dragon in the Dragon Vein,\" the little white tiger said.

\"A dead one?\" Ye Qingtang was curious.

\"Alive…\" The little white tiger explained.

\"How old is the azure dragon?\" Ye Qingtang asked again.

\"Also at its infant stage,\" the little white tiger said.

Ye Qingtang's eyes suddenly sparkled, and she said, \"Little azure dragon… Little white, do you think we should…\"

\"Are you going to ask me to catch the azure dragon… and sign a contract with it as well?!\" The little white tiger's face was filled with astonishment.

Ye Qingtang nodded immediately. Though she had a little lightning dragon, the lightning dragon was totally incomparable with an azure dragon. The lightning dragon belonged to a normal dragon clan, but the azure dragon was one of the four Fiendcelestial Beasts!

If she could get the azure dragon, she would possess one more Fiendcelestial Beast!

880 The Azure Dragon 2

\"No!\" After knowing Ye Qingtang's plan, the little white tiger shook its head continuously.

\"The azure dragon's intelligence is the top among the Fiendcelestial Beasts and the best in millions of demonic beasts… I don't think it's a good idea to catch it. It'll be a waste of time, and we may be killed by it… Though it's at its infant stage, we're not sure whether we can beat it. Furthermore, my clan has always been on good terms with azure dragons. You asked me to help you to catch it… What if it's leaked out… How am I supposed to live in this world? All demonic beasts will look down on me, and all Fiendcelestial Beast will treat me as a shame!\" the little white tiger said seriously.

If it really did something like that, not only would its clan of Fiendcelestial Beast blame it, but their relationship with the azure dragon clan would also deteriorate.

The little white tiger was not stupid. It would never do something like that.

The little white tiger was so unwilling to help and complained constantly. Ye Qingtang sighed and said, \"Why do I need you then?\"

\"Hahaha, Brother Ye Chen, we happen to meet again!\"

Before the little white tiger could say anything, Master Du suddenly appeared.

\"Master Du!\"

Ye Qingtang was delighted when she saw Master Du's appearance.

\"The azure dragon is here now. You can catch it by yourself. I will not be part of this.\" The little white tiger smiled.

A trace of confusion appeared in Ye Qingtang's eyes.

Master Du stared at the little white tiger fiercely.

\"What do you mean?\" Ye Qingtang frowned and asked the little white tiger.

\"Literal meaning. You want the azure dragon? He's here.\" The little white tiger raised its front paw and pointed towards Master Du.

\"Bastard! If my clan did not help you when you were in need in the past, your clan would be erased from the four Fiendcelestial Beasts. How dare you to blow my disguise! You shall wait for the consequences!\" Master Du pointed at the little white tiger and cursed.

\"Who blew your disguise… I was just speaking randomly. You just admitted it yourself. This is none of my business.\" The little white tiger was slightly intimidated.

\"Master Du…\" Ye Qingtang stared at Master Du, and surprise appeared in her eyes.

However, the moment when Ye Qingtang said her words, Master Du shed off the human skin in front of her and revealed the azure dragon's true appearance.

\"What… Master Du, you…\"

Ye Qingtang opened her eyes wide. Master Du was transformed by the azure dragon?!

A tiny azure dragon appeared in front of Ye Qingtang. It was at most an arm's length.

The little azure dragon was slightly bigger than than the lightning dragon. It stood straight on the ground with its back claws, but its size… was really… tiny…

Ye Qingtang's eyes sparkled when she saw the little azure dragon.

\"So cute.\"

Ye Qingtang hugged the little azure dragon in the next second. She touched and rubbed it with her hands constantly. This was the first time she saw an azure dragon in her two lives.

She thought that the azure dragon would be a huge and majestic dragon that flew in between the clouds. How could an infant azure dragon be so adorable!

Due to the extreme intelligence that the azure dragon possessed, its eyes appeared to be brighter than the lightning dragon's ones.

\"Be more serious please.\" The little azure dragon felt speechless after being rubbed and touched by Ye Qingtang for a while.

Now, it felt that Ling Yan was much better. At least he would not rub and touch him all the time.

\"Master Du… Based on our relationship, how about… let's sign a contract?\" Ye Qingtang looked at the little azure dragon and said immediately.

881 Precious and Current Life 1

\"I have signed a contract with Ling Yan.\"

The little azure dragon totally sold Ling Yan out.

\"Ling Yan…\"

A trace of surprise appeared in Ye Qingtang's eyes. How did he manage to sign a contract with an azure dragon when he did not even have any martial ability?

\"The azure dragons worship intelligence more than power,\" the little azure dragon said.

\"…\" Ye Qingtang stared blankly at the little azure dragon.

\"Ling Yan is my good friend. His will be mine…\" Ye Qingtang was not willing to let go of the little azure dragon.

\"I'm not involved in this okay. You should know that I did not say or do anything. In the future, when you see my clan and yours, don't mention anything. If not, I'll beat you to death!\" The little white tiger tried to pull itself out of the situation here.

Before the little azure dragon could say anything, Ye Qingtang added. \"I'm intelligent as well.\"

\"It will be enough.\" The little azure dragon pointed at the little white tiger with its claw and said.

Ye Qingtang looked towards the little white tiger, and she had mixed feelings…

She sighed and said, \"Ling Yan asked me to look for the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix. Forget about the contract then… I think that Ling Yan is good enough…\"

Since the little azure dragon had signed a contract with Ling Yan, she did not need to care about this anymore.

\"Let's go!\"

The little azure dragon struggled to free itself from Ye Qingtang's arms and walked forward.

The little azure dragon led Ye Qingtang to a giant divine tree after three days.

There was a narrow path a few miles behind the divine tree. The Wintry Yin aura was getting more intense.

\"The divine Puti Tree? I did not expect there to be a holy tree at this place.\" The little azure dragon was slightly stunned.

Ye Qingtang was also surprised and said, \"I heard that the divine Puti tree can show your previous and current lives…\"

\"Just a rumor.\"

The little azure dragon shook its head.

Ye Qingtang was attracted by the divine tree's aura.

Suddenly, a strange luster exploded out of the divine tree, and Ye Qingtang was surrounded inside the luster.

The next second, Ye Qingtang saw herself being chased by millions of people in her previous life in disbelief.

At the last moment of her previous life, Ye Qingtang crushed the Heart of the Demon God. She did not want anyone to have it even if she had to sacrifice her life.

Ye Qingtang frowned deeply as her life was replayed.

However, a man in white appeared slowly.

\"Found it.\"

His pleasant and deep voice was covered by the wind. The man slowly squatted down and touched the bloody wound gently using his long and elegant fingers. Wisps of breaths were emerging continuously from Ye Qingtang's wound and slowly into the man's palm. The breaths then formed a translucent heart.

When the heart was about to condense into the solid form, the breaths suddenly dispersed. The heart that was about to condense dispersed into particles, scattering around the body of Ye Qingtang.

A trace of blackish green light sparkled in the man's deep eyes.\" I see…\"

The man's finger pointed at the area between Ye Qingtang's brows the next second. A streak of golden light diffused into the area softly…

When the golden light diffused into Ye Qingtang's glabella, her breathless body suddenly radiated golden rays of lusters and slowly faded in the wind.

As the golden light disappeared, the man lifted his head slowly. His dark green eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Soon, the man raised his right arm, and the endless power of karma surrounded the place.

\"I found about everything too late in this life… Go back. This time I'll prepare everything and wait for you…\" The man murmured to himself and left a mark on his own karmic natal chart.

882 Previous and Current life 2

Ye Qingtang was the only one who could be reborn. The Ling Yan she would meet in her new life would not have any old memories.

The reason he left a mark on the karmic natal chart was to prepare everything that was going to happen.

Even if Ye Qingtang was reborn, as long as he could see the relationship between Ye Qingtang's karmic natal chart and his, he could figure out everything.

Soon, the sky seemed to be inverted, and time flew past.

Surprise appeared in Ye Qingtang's eyes when he saw the man's face.

\"Ling… Ling Yan!\"

In the fragmented images of her previous life, the man in white who appeared in the end was Ling Yan!

Ye Qingtang saw the short image after she died in her previous life. Ling Yan used all the power in the karma bloodline for her to be reborn…

Ye Qingtang finally understood why she was reborn at this moment.

It was Ling Yan who used all his karma bloodline in order for her to be reborn.

If she did not witness that with her own eyes, Ye Qingtang would never believe all that.

She had no relationship with Ling Yan in her previous life. She only heard about the news that Ling Yan was missing. She did not know why he would appear on the Lingyun Peak and use his own karma bloodline to help her to be reborn…

Ling Yan… Why would he do that for her?

Ye Qingtang frowned slightly, and her eyes were filled with confusion.

…

At the peak of the snowy mountain…

The wind howled through the snow.

Ling Yan walked over slowly and sat on the ground. He looked up into the sky repeatedly. His black hair was swinging in the gale.

\"It seems like the azure dragon still has some intelligence…\" Ling Yan murmured after a long time.

\"However, I did not expect that the death calamity would arrive so early… It seems like my decision previously is right.\" Ling Yan's eyes sparkled as he murmured.

The body now only followed its instinct and was not driven by intelligence. The body was also willing to obey the instructions from the guide to be together with Ye Qingtang. All the things the body did were for the Heart of the Demon God.

However, it was ridiculous that the Heart of the Demon God was the cause of the death calamity.

He managed to trick everyone, and no one would know his true identity. The death calamity would not land on him. Thus, he could stay out of all these to break the death calamity.

That was the only way he could survive the calamity.

Ling Yan also had thought about taking back his power in the past. However, after serious consideration, he gave up on the plan. If he was too powerful, he would capture destiny's attention. The consequences would be unimaginable if destiny found out his true identity.

Since he left all his power behind, he had no intention to take them back now.

\"Miss Ye, I used the power of the karmic natal chart for your rebirth… Was that a right or a wrong decision…\" Ling Yan's black eyes suddenly turned into a dark green color that looked demonic and mysterious. He raised his eyes slowly and looked towards the distant place.

Ye Qingtang's karmic natal chart was placed in front of Ling Yan.

There was an obvious mark that appeared on Ye Qingtang's karmic natal chart that could only be noticed by Ling Yan.

From Ye Qingtang's death in her previous life, it was not hard to notice that Ye Qingtang's soul was affected by the power of karma and was able to be reborn in this life.

883 How Dare You Trick Me 1

Ling Yan closed his eyes. There was a karmic imprint which he left on Ye Qingtang's karmic natal chart.

That was sufficient to prove that Ye Qingtang's rebirth was completely his doing.

However, Ling Yan still had not figured out why he wanted to let Ye Qingtang be reborn. Because he did not have any memories from his previous lifetime he could only work through the weak information slowly.

A long time later, a faint smile broke out on his almost-flawless face, and he took out a voice transmission stone from somewhere.

\"Miss Ye,\" Ling Yan said with a smile.

Very quickly, Ye Qingtang's voice sounded from Ling Yan's voice transmission stone. \"What is it?\"

\"There's nothing. It's just that I haven't heard your voice for a long time and am missing it,\" replied Ling Yan.

There was silence in the spirit stone. A long while later, Ye Qingtang's voice gradually sounded. \"We have only met each other for a few days, but you're missing my voice already?\"

\"If I can meet Miss Ye, that will naturally be the best,\" Ling Yan said.

\"Where are you? I happen to have something to ask you.\" Ye Qingtang replied.

\"If you wish to meet me, you just need to ask Master Du to lead the way.\" The smile remained hanging on his lips.

Before Ling Yan could continue speaking, Ye Qingtang had already switched off the voice transmission stone.

At this instant, Ling Yan was playing with a blue stone which exuded a Wintry Yin Aura, and his entire body was enveloped in the Wintry Aura.

This blue stone was formed by the Dragon Bone of the True Dragon. To obtain the inheritance of the True Dragon, one had to be guided by this item. Otherwise, it was not realistic to find the True Dragon's inheritance in a short time.

However, at the same time, an elderly's eyes were burning after sensing this blue stone from mid-air.

Yet, he automatically shuddered when he noticed Ling Yan's face.

\"How hateful… This treasure actually fell in his hands…\" The elderly gritted his teeth.

There was a youth who followed behind the elderly. \"Master, he is merely martial trash. Let's just snatch it.\"

\"Snatch?!\" The elderly scoffed. \"Disciple, do you know who that man is?\"

\"I don't…\" The youth shook his head.

\"Eternal Dynasty's Third Prince, Ling Yan,\" the elderly said.

A shiver ran down the youth's spine immediately when he heard the elderly, and he hurriedly said, \"Master, let's leave quickly… I heard that even an Arcane Supremacy at his peak was toyed to death by Ling Yan…\"

\"Humph. Ling Yan is alone but dares to hold the Dragon Bone so openly… He must have made full preparations. Forget it, let's go.\"

While the elderly was not resigned to take it lying down, he did not dare to really strike and snatch it either.

Some time after the elderly brought the youth away, another figure appeared there again.

The person had above-average looks, and there was an indifferent expression on her face. If Ye Qingtang was here, she would definitely be able to tell that this person was none other than Ye You with a look.

\"The bone of the True Dragon?!\"

Ye You looked at Ling Yan below and saw the blue stone in his hand.

It had already been some time since Ye You arrived in this Dragon Vein. She originally wanted to search for the inheritance of the True Dragon and Divine Phoenix, but there was no progress at all until now. She was attracted over by the Wintry Yin Aura at this place.

If she could obtain the bone of the True Dragon, she would be able to locate the inheritance of the True Dragon in the shortest time!

Almost without hesitation, Ye You gradually descended and was already standing beside Ling Yan a few breaths later.

884 How Dare You Trick Me 2

In no time, Ye You slowly landed beside Ling Yan. Her eyes were extremely cold as she sized up the Bone of the True Dragon in Ling Yan's hand.

At this instant, Ling Yan looked at Ye You expressionlessly as he sat cross-legged on the ground

\"Do you wish to live or die?\" Ye You threw the question coldly.

However, Ling Yan smiled faintly after hearing Ye You. His lips curled up slightly, forming a devilishly charming smile. \"May I know what enmity you and I have? This is our first meeting, but you're asking about my life or death.\"

\"I don't know who you are, but I recognize the bone of the True Dragon in your hand,\" Ye You said coldly.

\"Oh?\" Ling Yan immediately raised the bone of the True Dragon. \"You're talking about this.\"

\"Hand it to me, and I can spare your life,\" Ye You said.

Once she obtained the Bone of the True Dragon, she could follow the Wintry Yin Aura on the bone of the True Dragon and find the inheritance in this Dragon Vein…

\"So this stone is called the Bone of the True Dragon…\" Ling Yan smiled. \"Since you like this stone, you can have it then.\"

Then, Ling Yan tossed the Bone of the True Dragon to Ye You instantly without hesitation.

Once the Bone of the True Dragon was in her hand, she felt a penetrative Wintry Yin Aura that was extremely chilly, making it seem as though she had fallen into an ice cave.

\"It indeed is the Bone of the True Dragon…\"

Ye You muttered as she inspected the blue stone in her hand.

However, she was increasingly confused. The man before her clearly knew that this item was the Bone of the True Dragon. Why would he still give it to her so easily such that there was not a slight change in the expression his eyes?

\"You have already gotten what you want. Why are you still here? Could it be that you still want to kill me?\" Ling Yan asked.

\"You are very sensible.\"

Ye You studied Ling Yan, and it was then she realized that this man was extraordinarily good-looking. He was seated on the floor and seemed as though he had walked out of a painting.

It was a pity that his martial cultivation was a sorry sight as he was only at the Martial Qi Level Three Third Heaven realm.

Ever since Ye You was acknowledged by the Jiangs of the Central Mainland, she headed to the Central Mainland where the Jiang family was in, and her martial cultivation base had long advanced.

Currently, even an ordinary Yin Yang Perfected Lord was nothing to Ye You, much less someone who was at Martial Qi Level Three Third Heaven.

Swoosh!

In the next second, Ye You's figure ascended into the sky and disappeared without a trace in an instant. Secretly, she hid in the cloud layers.

After Ye You completely disappeared, Ling Yan stood up slowly as his eyes mindlessly glanced at the sky. An unknowing smile was hung on his lips as he walked towards a cave not too quickly nor slowly.

About a few breaths later, Ling Yan finally entered the cave.

There was a spring in this massive cave, and in the spring visibly laid a fiery-red long feather.

The long feather was about the length of an arm and exuded an extremely hot aura.

This searing aura was completely covered by the spring, and there was simply no way for others to sense it.

Ling Yan took a few steps forward and stretched his hand into the spring, wanting to retrieve the fire feather.

However…

A figure arrived swiftly. Before Ling Yan could make a move, the figure had already taken the fire feather out from the spring.

Ye You looked at the fire feather in her hands and said coldly, \"No wonder you were still so calm and composed even after handing the Bone of the True Dragon out. It turns out that you still have the Feather of the Divine Phoenix.\"

\"Ha… Miss, have you heard that if one is too greedy, there will definitely not be any good outcome?\" Ling Yan looked at Ye You with an inexplicable smile.

885 How Dare You Trick Me 3

A glint flashed across Ye You's eyes when she heard Ling Yan.

Presently, the Bone of the True Dragon and the Feather of the Divine Phoenix had all fallen into her hands.

The Bone of the True Dragon represented the Wintry Yin Aura while the Feather of the Divine Phoenix possessed the Wintry Yang Aura, with both corresponding to the inheritance of the True Dragon and the Divine Phoenix respectively.

Now that she had obtained the Feather of the Divine Phoenix and the Bone of the True Dragon, the inheritance of the True Dragon and the Divine Phoenix would also be hers!

Then, apart from the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon which she had already obtained, she would be able to gather all three great inheritances and could become a true Domain Monarch of the First Domain just like her grandfather said…

\"You have too many words.\" Ye You glared at Ling Yan, and a murderous intent arose instantly.

However, before Ye You could do anything, Ling Yan slowly walked to the spring with his hands behind him as though he was taking a casual stroll in his courtyard.

\"Calm down, Miss…\" Ling Yan smiled faintly. \"How about this? Let's play a game.\"

\"Game?\" Ye You stared at Ling Yan. \"Oh? What game do you wish to play?\"

\"This game is simple.\" Ling Yan replied slowly. \"I will use this Feather of the Divine Phoenix and the Bone of the True Dragon to exchange for the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon you have obtained. How about that?\"

Ye You's expression changed instantly after hearing what Ling Yan said.

She did obtain the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon, but it had not even been a day since her feat. How could anyone else know about it?!

\"How do you know that I have the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon?!\" As she spoke, a frightening murderous aura exuded around her.

The consequences would be dire if others knew about this. No matter what, this person had to die!

\"Miss, I don't only know that you possess the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon… If I guessed correctly, you should be a descendant of the Jiang clan,\" Ling Yan said with a smile.

\"You… Who exactly are you?\" Ye You's voice was extremely cold.

\"Who I am is not important.\" Ling Yan shook his head and continued. \"You only have two routes today. The first is to leave the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon behind… However, I'm afraid you don't wish to know what the second route is.\"

\"I am curious what kind of route is the so-called second route.\" Ye You stared at Ling Yan. In her eyes, this man was already a dead person.

\"It is death.\" Ling Yan smiled.

\"You have a death wish!\" Ye You hollered angrily. With the flick of her wrist, she immediately slammed a palm down at Ling Yan.

Ye You believed that given her cultivation realm, this man, who was only at Martial Qi Level Three Third Heaven, would be crushed by her hit.

However, at this instant, a figure flashed by and stood before Ling Yan in an instant.

\"Ye You?!\"

Ye Qingtang just rushed over but saw someone wanting to kill Ling Yan. When she took a clear look of the attacker, she was taken aback that it was actually Ye You.

However, before Ye You could react, a frightening roar erupted from both the Bone of the True Dragon and the Feather of the Divine Phoenix in her hands at the same time.

In the next second, before Ye Qingtang's surprised eyes, the left side of Ye You's body was burning with raging flames while the right side of her body was covered in frost. At the same time, Ye You's miserable cry reverberated in the cave.

\"Ling Yan, what is going on?\" Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan immediately.

Upon hearing that, Ling Yan flashed a faint smile. \"Miss Ye, isn't it very nice to watch the show here?\"

\"What… What is happening…\" Pain filled Ye You's face as she stimulated the primordial qi in her body. Nevertheless, the flames and frost on her body did not reduce at all.

\"Miss, I clearly told you just now that from ancient times till now, almost all greedy people do not have any good outcome, but you did not listen.\" Ling Yan's lips were tugged up slightly.

886 How Dare You Trick Me 4

At this very moment, Ye You was bearing an extreme pain and did not have the energy to bother with Ye Qingtang's arrival.

\"You… You… tampered… with the… dragon bone… and phoenix feather…!\" Ye You glared at Ling Yan with gritted teeth.

However, Ling Yan shook his head with a smile. \"Given your cultivation realm, with one look, you would be able to tell if I really had tampered with the Bone of the True Dragon and the Feather of the Divine Phoenix.\"

Ye You did not retort to whatever Ling Yan said as it was indeed so. If the two treasures were really tampered with, it was impossible for her to not be able to see it given her skills.

But if they were not tampered with, what was it then?!

\"Miss, you're unaware that in the war between the True Dragon, Divine Phoenix, and the Heavenly Demon back then, all three parties harbored a grudge… The True Dragon and Divine Phoenix were originally in love but were hunted down for their lives by the Heavenly Demon. Since you obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon, there is the aura of the Heavenly Demon on your body. The Bone of the True Dragon and the Feather of the Divine Phoenix are mortal enemies with it. How would they spare you?\" Ling Yan smiled.

After hearing Ling Yan's explanation, Ye You lifted an arm with difficulty and pointed at Ling Yan. \"You… You schemed… schemed against me!\"

\"Schemed against you?\" Ling Yan had a baffled expression. \"What do you mean by that, Miss? It's you who wanted to snatch my Bone of the True Dragon and then snatch my Feather of the Divine Phoenix. I did not ask you to snatch them.\" Ling Yan spoke slowly.

Ye Qingtang looked gazed at Ling Yan. Although she did know what happened, Ling Yan definitely schemed against Ye You…

\"These two items are divine items. Your body is now covered with the frost of the True Dragon and the flame of the Divine Phoenix. If you're unwilling to give up the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon, you will definitely die today…\" Ling Yan added on smilingly. \"Do you wish to live… or die?\"

Ye You clenched her fists tightly. This person actually returned what she said to herself!

Currently, Ye You was aware of how frightening the frost of the True Dragon and the flame of the Divine Phoenix were. If she did not give up the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon as he said, she would lose her life today!

To protect her life, Ye You did not have any other option and could only spit out a pitch-black pearl.

A demon aura lingered around that black pearl, and that was the essence which condensed after the Heavenly Demon died!

In order to locate the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon, she exhausted countless Dharma treasures which her grandfather gave her, and she almost lost her life to obtain the inheritance. Yet, she became a cat's paw for someone else now!

\"You still need to leave the Bone of the True Dragon and the Feather of the Divine Phoenix behind in order for the misery to dissipate.\" Ling Yan reminded with a smile.

Almost without hesitation, Ye You threw the two treasures on the ground according to Ling Yan.

At this instant, Ling Yan raised his hand and took away the Heavenly Demon Pearl, Bone of the True Dragon, and Feather of the Divine Phoenix.

A few breaths later, the frost and flame on Ye You's body finally faded gradually.

Ye You panted heavily. Her expression was extremely dark.

\"Ye Qingtang… It's you… who schemed against me with him…\" Ye You said coldly after seeing Ye Qingtang, who was beside Ling Yan.

\"I am not involved in scheming against you. However, it's time we settled our enmity today.\" As Ye Qingtang spoke, she unsheathed her sword sharply.

Ye You was heavily injured presently, and Ye Qingtang would not pass this chance.

However, before Ye Qingtang could strike, Ling Yan grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

Taking this chance, Ye You used whatever last energy she had and disappeared without a trace.

887 How To Thank

Seeing that Ye You fled away, Ye Qingtang wanted to chase after her, but Ling Yan grabbed Ye Qingtang's hand firmly and did not give her the chance to go after Ye You.

\"Ling Yan!\"

Ye Qingtang's brows were tightly furrowed immediately. \"Have you held enough!\"

\"If you don't mind, I can hold on a little longer.\" Ling Yan chuckled.

\"You!\" Ye Qingtang was speechless for a moment. This Ling Yan's brain… has issues, doesn't it?What the hell is he saying?!

Seeing that Ye Qingtang was about to flare up, Ling Yan released his grip sensibly.

In the next second, Ye Qingtang rushed out of the cave, but Ye You had already vanished without a trace.

In no time, Ye Qingtang returned to the cave again and looked at Ling Yan. \"She and I… have a blood feud.\"

Ling Yan smiled in response. \"Miss Ye, I am not clear about that. How about you tell me about it?\"

\"Do you wish to hear?\" Ye Qingtang fixed her eyes on Ling Yan.

Ling Yan replied. \"I am extremely interested in everything about you. If you don't mind, you can tell me about all major and trivial matters.\"

\"…\"

Why is this person…

However, Ye Qingtang recounted her grudge with Ye You to Ling Yan thoroughly.

After hearing about the relationship and enmity between the two, Ling Yan laughed and told Ye Qingtang. \"Miss Ye… In this case, you need to be responsible for me. Both of you share the same surname Ye, and I was almost killed by her.\"

For a moment, Ye Qingtang did not have any words to reply. When did Ling Yan's skin become so thick?

\"Since she almost killed you, you can find her and ask her to be responsible. It so happens that you let her go too,\" Ye Qingtang said.

However, Ling Yan shook his head. \"How can she be compared to you, Miss Ye?\"

Not waiting for Ye Qingtang to reply, Ling Yan laughed and said, \"Forget it. Even if you have a huge grudge against her, it is not a wise action to attack her now.\"

\"Oh?\" Ye Qingtang examined Ling Yan. \"Why?\"

\"This person is the granddaughter of the Jiang clan's Grand Elder, Jiang Duantian. Jiang Duantian is the current Domain Monarch and has many means. From my observation, if a murderous intent arose within you just now and you attacked her, you would definitely be counter-damaged by the Dharma treasure. Not only would she not die, but you would also be in an extremely dangerous situation instead.\" Ling Yan explained.

\"Are you saying that Ye You has a life-protecting Dharma treasure on her…?\" Ye Qingtang clarified.

\"That's exactly what I'm saying.\" Ling Yan nodded and added on. \"The Dharma treasure on Ye You could even withstand a fatal blow from a Divine Arcane Supremacy, and the counter-damage ability of the Dharma treasure could easily crush an ordinary Arcane Supremacy. If I did not stop you, I'm afraid you…\"

Ye Qingtang frowned deeply after hearing Ling Yan.

This was her miscalculation.

She clearly knew that Ye You was already found by the Jiang clan. Now that she was sent to the dangerous Dragon Vein, how would there not be any life-protecting means…

However, Ye Qingtang saw that Ling Yan schemed against Ye You previously. It seemed that with Ling Yan here, she actually lowered her guard a little.

\"Thank you…\"

A long while later, Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan and thanked him.

\"There is still another way of thanking me. I have never liked verbal thank you's.\" Ling Yan looked at Ye Qingtang with a meaningful smile.

Ye Qingtang's expression changed immediately. What cunning plot was Ling Yan thinking of exactly?

Seeing that Ye Qingtang had a grim expression, Ling Yan spoke again. \"Forget it. If it's Miss Ye, a verbal thank you is acceptable as well.\"

888 A Cat“s Paw For Others

Ye Qingtang could not be bothered to talk any more nonsense with Ling Yan, but she was curious about what exactly happened between Ling Yan and Ye You. Why would that Ye You was schemed against by Ling Yan out of nowhere?

Earlier on, Ye Qingtang clearly heard that it was Ye You who came to snatch his treasure.

\"You and Ye You…\" Curiosity filled Ye Qingtang's face.

\"Do you wish to know, Miss Ye?\" With a smile, Ling Yan sat on the ground cross-legged and glanced at the empty space in front of him.

Then, Ye Qingtang walked to Ling Yan's side and sat on the ground as well.

\"You should know that there are three great inheritances in this Dragon Vein. Apart from the inheritances of the True Dragon and Divine Phoenix, there's also the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon.\" Ling Yan explained slowly.

\"I am already aware of this,\" Ye Qingtang said.

Ling Yan nodded. \"The inheritances of the True Dragon and Divine Phoenix require the Bone of the True Dragon and the Feather of the Divine Phoenix while the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon can only be sensed by a bloodline of the Jiang clan.\"

\"You are saying that…\" Ye Qingtang seemed to be in thought.

\"The Jiang clan is the descendant of the Heavenly Demon, and they possess the Heavenly Demon bloodline. As such, they can sense the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon.\" Ling Yan continued.

After hearing Ling Yan, Ye Qingtang suddenly recalled that Ye You indeed possessed the Heavenly Demon bloodline back then. Otherwise, how else could she climb up to the position of a Paragon Great Empress so easily?

\"Since the Jiang family possessed the Heavenly Demon bloodline, someone will definitely head here to search for the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon. If I wish to obtain the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon, I would require a member from the Jiang clan,\" Ling Yan said.

Ye Qingtang was a little confused. \"How do you know that the person coming to snatch your Dragon Bone and Phoenix Feather will definitely be from the Jiang family… This kind of treasure should be wanted by everyone.\"

Ling Yan chuckled lightly. \"Because I have the Dragon Bone. The True Dragon and Divine Phoenix warred against the Heavenly Demon and bore a deep grudge. If any of its descendants are in the vicinity, the Dragon Bone would react… Of course, if the incomer is not a descendant of the Heavenly Demon, I have a way of dealing with it.\"

\"But it was Ye You, so you did not need to use that method,\" Ye Qingtang said.

\"That's right.\" Ling Yan smiled. \"However, that Ye You wanted to have all three inheritances for herself. I gave her the Dragon Bone, but she was not content and had to hide in the dark and follow me to find the Phoenix Feather.\"

\"How do you know that Ye You had already retrieved the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon then?\" Ye Qingtang questioned again.

Ling Yan gently shook the blue stone in his hand. \"This Dragon Bone can sense it as well.\"

\"So that's why…\" Ye Qingtang mumbled to herself.

\"The Dragon Bone and the Phoenix Feather were gathered, and the possessor also obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon… As such, the grudge of the two divine items was aroused… You only needed to guide Ye You to spit out the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon from aside… Ling Yan, that's really a good scheme… However, if Ye You was not so greedy and suspicious and left to search for the inheritance of the True Dragon after obtaining your Dragon Bone…\" Ye Qingtang voiced her confusion.

However, Ling Yan smiled faintly upon hearing Ye Qingtang. \"If that's the case, it wouldn't be bad either. Ye You possesses the inheritance and bloodline of the Heavenly Demon. With the Dragon Bone, it would be much simpler for her to obtain the inheritance of the True Dragon than we can. We can then let her clear all the threats in the inheritance of the True Dragon… and be a cat's paw for us again. Isn't that very good?\"

A moment later, Ye Qingtang could not help but study Ling Yan.

This man was really…

Everything went according to his calculations. Ever since Ye You appeared and had the greed of snatching the Dragon Bone, she had already fallen into Ling Yan's trap.

No matter whether Ye You took the Dragon Bone and left in search of the inheritance of the Dragon Bone or secretly tailed Ling Yan to obtain the Phoenix Feather, her outcome was already determined: regardless of what Ye You did, she was a cat's paw for Ling Yan…

No matter what this man did, it was all done with full preparations and numerous schemes…

However, Ye Qingtang never thought that Ling Yan would tell herself about all of his plans.

889 For You

Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan. Although this man did not have any martial skills and it looked like he could be easily crushed by any powerful martial figures, the truth was not so. He was an extremely dangerous presence.

It was still alright if he was a friend, but once he was an enemy and he schemed against you, you would probably be hit by a destructive strike.

\"Ling Yan, why would you tell me all of your plans?\" Looking at Ling Yan in confusion, Ye Qingtang asked curiously.

Ling Yan was stunned to hear her question and smiled faintly. \"Didn't you ask me just now?\"

\"So… I asked you, and you told me just like that?\" Ye Qingtang had a strange expression.

Ling Yan shook his head with a chuckle. \"If others asked me, I wouldn't say a word, but it is different if it's Miss Ye.\"

\"Me?\" Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan and asked. \"How am I different?\"

\"You are different in my heart.\" The corner of his lips tugged up as he looked at Ye Qingtang with eyes filled with temptation and danger.

\"…\"

She totally could not understand what crazy things Ling Yan was sputtering…

In Ye Qingtang's previous life, she spent almost her entire life being chased by others. She was extremely vigilant of the outside world every second, and the only thing she had in mind was martial cultivation. It was no exaggeration to call her a martial fanatic. This was so as only by becoming more powerful could she barely survive the schemes from the outside world. She seemed to have seen such a look from Ling Yan on other men, but his was a little different. Even Ye Qingtang was unaware of why she did not loathe nor shun from him extremely.

Nonetheless, even up to this day, Ye Qingtang still could not comprehend what this exactly meant.

If others looked at her like that, there would be a danger signal going off inside her. However, Ling Yan did not give her such feelings.

\"For you.\"

As he spoke, Ling Yan flipped his hand over and extended his right palm towards Ye Qingtang, and he handed the Heavenly Demon Pearl which Ye You spat out earlier to Ye Qingtang.

Noticing the situation, Ye Qingtang was filled with surprise and was even in disbelief.

The Heavenly Demon Pearl was one of the three great inheritances in the Dragon Vein, and many cultivators even lost their lives for it. One could imagine how precious this was.

However…

Even so, at this very instant, Ling Yan wanted to give her the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon he schemed out from Ye You?!

Almost instinctively, Ye Qingtang immediately shook her head. The inheritance of the Heavenly Demon was too valuable, and she must not accept it.

Ling Yan chuckled lightly when he saw Ye Qingtang's reaction. \"Miss Ye, this Heavenly Demon Pearl originally belongs to Ye You. I only used a small scheme and took it from her. Moreover, Ye You once stole your spirit root. Thus, the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon is equivalent to Ye You's interest to you.\"

\"It is yours since you stole it. How could I accept it?\" Ye Qingtang asked with a frown.

\"Oh?\" After hearing what Ye Qingtang said, Ling Yan's lips tugged up slightly. \"So according to your logic, Ye You stole your spirit root, so it should belong to Ye You now.\"

\"You…\"

Ye Qingtang had no words to refute this one sentence from Ling Yan.

For some reason though, Ye Qingtang had never lost almost any arguments in both her lives, but after meeting Ling Yan, she would always unknowingly be beaten to it every time she spoke to him.

890 Devote Your Life To Me

\"Ye You stole Miss Ye's spirit root, but that spirit root does not belong to Ye You. I stole Ye You's Heavenly Demon Pearl, and it should not belong to me either. No matter what, it is the equivalent of this Heavenly Demon Pearl being Ye You's interest to Miss Ye.\" A faint smile hung on Ling Yan's lips.

Before Ye Qingtang could say anything, Ling Yan grabbed her hand lightly and placed the Heavenly Demon Pearl in her palm before giving her any time to react. \"This Heavenly Demon Pearl should belong to you. There's no need to decline.\"

\"You…\" Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan, astonished.

Although Ling Yan put it that way, it was clear that whatever reasoning he gave was fallacious. Ye Qingtang was not foolish and could tell that Ling Yan merely wanted to give her the Heavenly Demon Pearl.

\"Ling Yan, the Heavenly Demon Pearl is really too valuable… There's nothing between us…\" Ye Qingtang frowned deeply.

\"Since that's the case, do you want to have something with me?\" Ling Yan's eyes were extremely bright and filled with charm as he looked at Ye Qingtang.

\"What thing?\" Ye Qingtang asked instinctively.

However, Ling Yan inched closer the moment she spoke, and their eyes locked onto each other. There was less than an inch between them, and they could even feel each other's heartbeat and breathing.

Ye Qingtang swore that she had never been so close to a man in either of her lives before.

Just like that, the two of them looked at each other for a long time. Suddenly, Ling Yan stood up straight and pulled a distance away from Ye Qingtang. \"Let's put it this way then: my martial skills are so terrible, and I can lose my life anytime… How about you stay by my side from now on?\"

\"You want me to be your personal bodyguard?' Ye Qingtang asked.

Ling Yan shook his head immediately. \"Apart from a personal bodyguard, there's another possibility between a male and a female.\"

Without giving Ye Qingtang a chance to speak, Ling Yan suddenly stood up and said, \"Miss Ye, you do not need to be so conflicted. The Heavenly Demon Pearl is useless to me and is compatible with you instead. If you don't want it, you can settle it yourself. I just do not wish for this inheritance to land in the hands of one of the people of the Jiang bloodline. If you view me as a friend, you can accept it without worrying. Otherwise, you can settle it yourself. Destroying or throwing it away is all fine.\"

\"How generous of you…\"

Ye Qingtang could not help but take a few looks at Ling Yan.

Back then, she had the Heart of the Demon God and was being chased for her life for hundreds of years. Everyone coveted the Heart of the Demon God in her body and plotted all sorts of schemes.

Others wanted to take her life in order to seize a precious treasure, but Ling Yan willingly gave the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon, a valuable treasure, to herself so easily…

\"Thank you…\" A long while later, Ye Qingtang said. \"I am unable to return your huge favor…\"

\"Unable to return my huge favor…\" Ling Yan walked to Ye Qingtang's side and slowly bent forward. The corner of his lips curled up slightly and formed a devilish charm. \"Since you are unable to return the favor, you can devote your life to me then.\"

\"…\"

A few breaths later, Ye Qingtang finally returned to her senses and said. \"Devote my life to you?\"

Ling Yan chuckled. \"How does devoting your life to me sound?\"

\"You're saying…\" Ye Qingtang pondered deeply and said. \"For me to be your guard and protect your safety for my entire life?\"

With a smile on his face, Ling Yan responded. \"If that is how you comprehend the meaning of 'devoting your life to me', so be it then.\"

For Ye Qingtang, who was a complete blockhead at male-female relationships, how could she understand the meaning of 'devoting your life to me'?

891 The Guide

The little white tiger probed its head and extended its ears outside the cave to look over into the cave.

After a short while, the little azure dragon swaggered over and touched the little white tiger's head with its paw. \"Such a pity that you followed an idiot.\"

Upon hearing the little azure dragon's words, the little white tiger turned back and stared at the little azure dragon.

\"F*ck you, thank you for pitying me. But I also pity that you followed a useless person.\" The little white tiger sneered.

\"Are you not convinced? I understand what does it mean by the promise of marriage, but she doesn't. Isn't she an idiot?\" The little azure dragon smiled and said.

\"Pfft! You don't understand anything. She pretends that she does not understand the meaning so that others will feel anxious. This is called emotional intelligence,\" the little white tiger said.

The little azure dragon's lips twitched upon hearing that. It finally understood the ability of saying nonsense from the little white tiger.

\"Look at how ugly you are. No female dragon will fall in love with you… Stop trying to figure out what love is. You will never need it in your life.\" The little white tiger sat on the ground and stared at the little azure dragon and said.

\"How dare you! I'm the top of the four Fiendcelestial Beasts! How dare you humiliate me.\" The little azure dragon humphed.

\"Pfft! The azure dragons are just slightly smarter. We are the best in fighting ability,\" the little white tiger said proudly.

\"Yes, you are a brainless idiot,\" the little azure dragon said.

\"You…\" The little white tiger wanted to scold back, but it realized that it was a total waste of time to quarrel with the azure dragon.

\"Yah, do you think… your master really likes my master?\" the little white tiger asked.

The little azure dragon looked at the little white tiger as if it was staring at an idiot. \"Based on Ling Yan's personality, how could he say something like marriage if he did not like her? But I'm curious, do you think that Han Cangming likes her?\"

\"Han Cangming? He's very peculiar. He can only act according to his instincts and act with strong intentions. He stays beside Ye Qingtang in order to acquire the Heart of the Demon God… I always feel that he can do anything to retrieve the heart, even if it will cost Ye Qingtang's life…\" The little white tiger scoffed.

The little azure dragon scoffed as well as it heard the little white tiger's words.

Of course it's like that.

Han Cangming did not have a soul or mind or feelings. He was only Ling Yan's body that acted based on his instincts.

As a body, instinct could drive him to do anything. He could use all means to achieve his goal.

However, the little azure dragon was curious about one thing: the body should have just retrieved the Heart of the Demon God from Ye Qingtang based on its instincts. He would not care about her death at all. Yet, Ye Qingtang was still alive now.

\"Did anything happen to Ye Qingtang's heart?\" The little azure dragon looked at the little white tiger and asked.

\"Yes, a life emerged out of the heart and wanted the two of them to be married,\" the little white tiger said.

\"No wonder… the guide… I think it's the guide's credit that Ye Qingtang's heart was not taken away by him. That's why she's alive now.\" The little azure dragon smiled coldly.

\"You know about the guide?! Who told you about that?\" The little white tiger was shocked.

\"I inferred that by myself,\" the little azure dragon said.

892 The Conspiracy

\"I have to say that though you are arrogant, you're really intelligent.\" The little white tiger was shocked.

Everything that it knew was heard from the Elder, but the little azure dragon inferred everything on its own.

In this world, only people like Ling Yan could really tame an azure dragon.

\"So, it's real that Han Cangming is just a body?\" The little white tiger looked at the little azure dragon meaningfully.

\"I'm quite sure about that.\" The little azure dragon nodded.

\"Then maybe I can understand now.\" The little white tiger's face was very serious.

If the Han Cangming now was just a body, he would not possess any feelings.

However, Han Cangming treated Ye Qingtang nicely, so the only possibility was that the power of karma was left on Ye Qingtang's body by Ling Yan. Han Cangming, as part of Ling Yan, was able to sense the power.

Since Han Cangming was part of Ling Yan, after sensing the power of karma, he would not do anything to harm her based on his instincts. It was the right thing for him to treat Ye Qingtang nicely.

\"Ling Yan… Even such things are part of your plan?\" The little white tiger looked over into the cave and murmured.

However, the little azure dragon was concerned about Ling Yan's safety. The guide's mission was to unite Ye Qingtang and the Han Cangming now.

However, from one perspective, Ling Yan's plan was very successful. He tricked destiny, and even the guide could not recognize that Ling Yan was the real Demon God Han Cangming.

The guide's mission was to let Ye Qingtang and the Demon God go through the death calamity. However, Ling Yan was the real Demon God now. If Ye Qingtang and Han Cangming got married, Ye Qingtang would be the only one who would go through the death calamity. She would experience millions of strikes until death.

\"Can you infer the cause of the calamity since you're so smart?\" The little white tiger looked at the azure dragon and asked.

The little azure dragon scoffed. \"Of course… They inherited the calamity from the Heavenly Emperor.\"

\"Oh… Explain,\" the little white tiger said.

\"Actually, you should know that Ye Qingtang's heart is not the Heart of the Demon God. Ling Yan pulled his soul and heart out from his body and was reborn… The heart is in Ling Yan's body now…\" The little azure dragon explained.

\"Yes, I know about that. The heart in Ye Qingtang seems to be a death calamity that is related to the Heavenly Dao and destiny,\" The little white tiger said.

The little azure dragon nodded and said, \"Actually it's very simple. When Ling Yan was reborn with his soul and heart, the body was heartless. However, someone put a heart into the body, and it is thought that that was his own heart. For some unknown reason, the heart went into Ye Qingtang's body, and the body thought that Ye Qingtang took away his heart. So, the heart is the biggest conspiracy and the death calamity!\"

\"That's right. Even Ye Qingtang thinks that her heart is the Heart of the Demon God. However, she doesn't know that the heart has nothing to do with the Demon God. Everything is just part of a huge conspiracy. The person behind all of this may be the culprit who destroyed the Fourth Domain…\" the little white tiger said seriously.

893 The Heart of the Heavenly Dao

\"What did you know from the elder?\" The little azure dragon looked at the little white tiger and asked.

The little white tiger contemplated for a while and said, \"In the primordial mortal world, there was a genius who was born in the First Domain. The genius became the ultimate powerful person that no one could compare with. By coincidence, the Heavenly Dao decided to find the new inheritor and pass on the Inheritance of the Heavenly Dao. I suppose that the genius successfully inherited that and became the new Heavenly Dao. However, the inheritance of the Heavenly Dao he got was not complete, and he came out with a strategy. He took out the Heart of the Heavenly Dao and tried to find a suitable body to nurture the heart… The Heavenly Emperor was the first body, and the Demon God Han Cangming was the second…\"

The little azure dragon smiled and said, \"However, based on Han Cangming's intelligence, he predicted that he would be the next body to nurture the heart through the interaction with the Heavenly Emperor. Thus, he left his body and became Ling Yan.\"

\"That's right. The body had become the vessel for the Heart of the Heavenly Dao long ago. The body does not have a soul or mind, and it instinctively treats the Heart of the Heavenly Dao as his own heart…\" The little white tiger nodded and said.

\"So, Ye Qingtang is the third body for the Heart of the Heavenly Dao?\" The little azure dragon murmured.

\"It's should be the situation now. The guide is the consciousness of the Heart of the Heavenly Dao. It intends to unite the new body with the second body. The Demon God will then facilitate Ye Qingtang till she's powerful enough to nurture the Heart of the Heavenly Dao.\"

\"When she's powerful enough, the person behind will then kill her and take back the Heart of the Heavenly Dao…\" The little azure dragon's eyes sparkled.

\"I'm afraid so. And this is the reason why I totally oppose the Guide and oppose Ye Qingtang to unite with that body. However, I cannot tell her directly.\" The little white tiger nodded continuously and said.

\"You're afraid that it will make the situation worse,\" the little azure dragon said.

\"Yes, if the situation gets worse, the consequences will be unimaginable. It will be a death calamity that she cannot escape from. She has to discover that by herself. Furthermore, our assumptions may not be completely right,\" the little white tiger said.

\"Bullshit! That's my assumption. You heard that from someone else.\" The little azure dragon stared at the little white tiger and said.

\"F*ck you, I don't even need to use my brain. Someone will tell me everything,\" the little white tiger said arrogantly.

\"Then let me ask you, what's the identity of the elder who told you everything?\" the little azure dragon asked.

\"Hmm, I'm not sure as well. I asked him before, but he said that it's a secret that could not be revealed.\" The little white tiger contemplated for a while and said.

\"Then I'm curious why would he just tell you about all these things. What are his intentions?\" The little azure dragon paused and then asked.

\"No, it's impossible. I have known him for a long time. If he really had any intention, why would he even bother to tell me about all of this? Furthermore, he's very powerful. If he wanted to kill us, he doesn't need to plan anything.\" The little white tiger was very certain.

\"That makes sense as well,\" The little azure dragon said.

\"Oh right, doesn't Ling Yan want to take back the power from the body?\" The little white tiger was slightly curious.

\"He will never do that. He refuses to admit his identity. Furthermore, if he takes back his power, the death calamity will definitely notice that. That's why he left his body in order to trick everyone. It's the Demon God's style to hide in the dark and plan everything.\" The little azure dragon sighed and said.

894 The Beginning of the Inheritance

At the same time in the cave…

Ling Yan stood up slowly. He crushed the Bone of the True Dragon and the Feather of the Divine Phoenix under Ye Qingtang's surprised gaze.

\"Ling Yan, do you want everyone to know about where the Inheritance of the True Dragon and the Divine Phoenix are?\" Ye Qingtang asked.

\"Smart. The paths to the Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix and the True Dragon are extremely dangerous. We should let the others clear the obstacles for us.\" Ling Yan turned around and smiled.

\"Why are you so confident that you can get the Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix and the True Dragon?\" Ye Qingtang frowned slightly and said. Where did his confidence come from?

\"I only want the Inheritance of the True Dragon. As for the Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix… That will be the second gift for you.\" Ling Yan smiled and said.

\"You… Why are you so kind to me?\" Ye Qingtang asked directly.

\"Aren't you comfortable with it? You will get used to it soon.\" Ling Yan chuckled and gently touched Ye Qingtang's glabella using his finger.

\"I'm not confident that I will be able to get the Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.\" Ye Qingtang contemplated for a while and said.

People who were able to fight for the Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix at the Dragon Vein were all the most powerful people from the Central Mainland. They might risk their lives to fight for the Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix. She had nothing to fight against those Supremacy Level people.

\"Don't worry about that, Miss Ye. I'm confident with everything I plan,\" Ling Yan said softly.

\"Why are you confident when I'm not even confident with myself…\" Ye Qingtang felt odd and said.

\"Of course. Both the Inheritance of the True Dragon and the Divine Phoenix are not comparable with normal inheritances. For example, the Inheritance of the Heavenly Demon, if Ye You did not have the bloodline of the Heavenly Demon, it'd be impossible for her to get that. It's the same for the other inheritances. The inheritances will choose their heir.\" Ling Yan nodded and said.

\"You're saying that the Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix will definitely choose me.\" Ye Qingtang understood what Ling Yan meant.

\"I think the flame that you used to burn the Diamond Boulder is not something ordinary.\" Ling Yan smiled and said.

Ye Qingtang understood what he was referring to instantly.

Her Paragon Skill was related to the Phoenix. The Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix might choose her due to her Paragon Skill…

After Ling Yan crushed the bone of the True Dragon and the feather of the Divine Phoenix, the Wintry Yin aura and the Wintry Yang aura spread out in all directions.

Soon, the powerful people from the Central Mainland all rushed to different directions.

\"Miss Ye, we shall head to our own destinations. Please take care.\" Ling Yan folded his hands at the back after he finished his words. He walked out of the cave and headed towards the Inheritance of the True Dragon with the little azure dragon.

Ye Qingtang headed towards the Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix with the little white tiger.

The place they were at was the deepest place of the Dragon Vein. Even the Peerless School and the Phantom Valley had not explored this place yet. The three finest forces had no knowledge about the deep part of the Dragon Vein.

…

Somewhere in the forest after two days…

Fighting sounds and roars were heard from the place ahead.

Ye Qingtang walked towards the origin of the sounds with the little white tiger.

A few thousand meters away at the same time…

Gu Tianhe and Feng Wudang stared at a young man in rage.

The young man was slightly overweight. His martial ability was at the Fourth Heaven of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord level. His face was filled with a cold smile.

\"Feng Wuya, how dare you… how dare you to treat Junior Sister Li like that!\" Feng Wudang held his fists tightly and shouted in anger.

895 Take Advantage of Others 1

The man who was called Feng Wuya produced a fake smile and said, \"That's her blessing.\"

\"Feng Wuya!!\"

Gu Tianhe clenched his teeth and stared at Feng Wuya in rage. How he wished that he could tear him to pieces right now!

Li Bingxue was on the same mission as them, and later, they encountered others from the Supreme Academy. Soon afterward, Li Bingxue left the group for some personal things. However, no one expected that she would meet Feng Wuya of the Divine Virtual Academy halfway.

Feng Wuya was not just a normal disciple of the Divine Virtual Academy. He was the grandson of the Grand Elder, who belonged to the reclusive ancient Feng clan of the Central Mainland.

The ancient Feng clan was highly ranked in the Central Mainland. Very few forces in the entire Central Mainland dared to provoke them, not mentioning the mediocre students of the normal academy.

Among the reclusive clans, there were at least a few Heavenly Venerates that were above the Arcane Supremacy to preside over the clans. Their martial abilities were unpredictable.

As the grandson of the Grand Elder, Feng Wuya's position in the ancient Feng clan was easy to predict. He was not willing to learn anything, but he was very arrogant and abusive in the Divine Virtual Academy due to his identity. No one dared to say anything to him.

Gu Tianhe would never talk to such an arrogant heir under normal circumstances. However, no one expected that…

Li Bingxue would encounter Feng Wuya on her way.

What was even more unimaginable that Feng Wuya had a wicked idea after noticing Li Bingxue's beauty. He raped her under violence and murdered her ruthlessly afterward!

\"Junior Brother Gu.\" The first man of the Supreme Academy shook his head seriously as he looked at Gu Tianhe.

\"Senior Brother Li Xiu… Feng Wuya is just a bastard. He raped Junior Sister Li and murdered her mercilessly… We…\" Feng Wuya clenched his fist and said. The veins on his forward clearly showed his anger and resentment.

Li Xiu's face was very serious, but he could not do anything.

If the person was just a normal disciple of the Divine Virtual Academy, they would definitely take revenge for Li Bingxue.

However…

Feng Wuya was not a normal person.

Feng Wuya had the Feng Clan's bloodline. If they hurt him today, everyone who was present would be dead in the near future. Even the entire Supreme Academy would not dare to provoke the Feng clan.

They would use their lives to repay if they hurt him. They could not do anything to him.

Feng Wuya sneered as he saw the reactions of the Supreme Academy students. He wandered towards Feng Wuya.

Feng Wuya arrived in front of Feng Wudang in a few breaths' time.

Disdain filled Feng Wuya's eyes as he raised his arm slowly.

Pow!

Feng Wuya raised his hand and slapped Feng Wudang's face.

\"You…\"

Feng Wudang glared at Feng Wuya and intended to say something.

Pow!

Before Feng Wudang could say another word, another slap landed on his face. Feng Wuya's face was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with scorn.

\"How dare you clowns confront Senior Brother Feng here! Do you still want to be alive in this world?\"

A few young disciples of the Divine Virtual Academy mocked the Supreme Academy disciples, who did not dare to talk or move.

896 Take Advantage of Others 2

Feng Wuya had just entered the Divine Virtual Academy, and his martial ability was still very mediocre. However, even the strongest disciples in Divine Virtual Academy did not dare to offend him due to his identity as a member of the ancient Feng Clan. Instead, they tried their best to flatter him.

Feng Wuya was very lustful. He had offended most of the beautiful female students in the Divine Virtual Academy. However, no one dared to fight for themselves. There were even some female students who voluntarily looked for Feng Wuya based on his identity.

The disciples of the Divine Virtual Academy were used to Feng Wuya's arrogance and aggressiveness.

\"I'm going to kill you!\"

Feng Wudang shouted in anger as he was slapped twice in the public by Feng Wuya. The veins on his forehead were getting more obvious.

The leader of the Supreme Academy, Li Xiu, suddenly shouted. \"Junior Brother Feng… Stop!!!\"

Feng Wudang's attack stopped under Li Xiu's interruption. His eyes were red, and he stared at Feng Wuya, who had nothing to be fearful of.

Feng Wudang understood the consequences he would face if he hit Feng Wuya without Li Xiu's reminder.

If Feng Wuya was injured here, the ancient Feng Clan would not let it go so easily. Not only him, but even Gu Tianhe and the rest of the people who were present would have to bear the consequences in the future. They would need to use their lives to repay.

\"Little bustard! You have a death wish!\"

Feng Wuya stared at Feng Wudang, who froze in sarcasm. He scoffed and punched Feng Wudang's face in the next second.

Feng Wuya did not hold back. Blood flowed out from Feng Wudang's mouth under the punch.

Feng Wudang wiped off the blood by his lips. He clenched his teeth and glared at Feng Wuya. However, he could not fight back, though the resentment in his heart was rising.

\"Who do you think you are!\"

Feng Wuya grabbed Feng Wudang's hair as he spoke and dragged him away with great strength.

The people of the Divine Virtual Academy were all sneering when they witnessed the scene.

In the past, when the students of the two academies met, there would always be some injuries due to small conflicts.

However, the situation was different now. Feng Wuya's identity was incomparable to that of normal disciples of the Divine Virtual Academy.

Li Bingxue, who was stronger than Feng Wuya, could only bear with Feng Wuya's torture.

In her case, Li Bingxue could not take Feng Wuya's torture eventually and slapped him. Then, she was stranded by the disciples of the Divine Virtual Academy under Feng Wuya's command. He murdered her mercilessly.

\"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that!\"

Feng Wuya dragged Feng Wudang's hair and pulled him to the side. He then stepped on Feng Wudang's face with his foot.

\"Feng Wudang, look at yourself in the mirror. How dare you to be so presumptuous in front of Senior Brother Feng. You're seeking your own death.\" One of the young men of the Divine Virtual Academy scoffed and said.

There were around twenty people of the Divine Virtual Academy who came to the Dragon Vein. The person in the lead was the one who spoke. He was everyone else's senior, and his martial ability was the best. However, he still had to obey Feng Wuya's commands even when he was the one in charge.

\"I want to chop off his ears first.\" Feng Wuya smiled coldly and said.

The young man nodded and smiled. \"How merciful you are, Senior Brother Feng.\"

Feng Wuya pulled out a dagger by his waist. He grabbed Feng Wudang's hair and swung his dagger beside Feng Wudang's ear.

\"Should I cut off your left ear or right ear?\" Feng Wuya laughed. He did not even bother with the disciples of the Supreme Academy at the side.

\"Fine, I will chop off both of your ears as a lesson to learn for you. You should be thankful that I'm only going to cut your ears and not take your life.\" Feng Wuya sneered and said.

Feng Wudang narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists that were by his body.

A disciple of the Divine Virtual Academy laughed and said, \"Senior Brother Feng, you are still so kind. People like him should be killed without mercy. He should bow and thank you for your mercy to spare his life today.\"

\"You're taking advantage of our tolerance!\" One of the Supreme Academy disciples could not tolerate it anymore. He pulled out his sword and pointed at Feng Wuya.

\"Feng Wuya! Let go of Senior Brother Feng!\"

Feng Wuya raised his brows slightly. His eyes were full of sarcasm as he saw the Supreme Academy disciple pulling his sword out.

Li Xiu and the rest were shocked when they saw the situation.

\"Junior Brother Luo, don't be impulsive!\"

Feng Wuya sneered. \"It seems like the disciples of the Supreme Academy do not understand the rules. How dare you point a sword at me!\"

He then scoffed and commanded. \"Get that bastard over here now.\"

The Divine Virtual Academy disciples immediately rushed forward and surrounded Junior Brother Luo.

Gu Tianhe and the rest panicked and wanted to stop them.

However…

\"What? It seems like even the ancient Feng Clan are not seen as anything in the eyes of the Supreme Academy people now?\" Feng Wuya scoffed.

\"Don't!\" Li Xiu immediately blocked Gu Tianhe and the rest.

They could not offend Feng Wuya based on his identity.

Normal disciples like them could not afford to provoke the ancient Feng clan.

If they displeased Feng Wuya, the entire Supreme Academy would have to suffer the consequence with them.

Feng Wuya sneered and looked at everything happening in front of him. He then raised his leg and kicked Feng Wudang. He walked towards Junior Brother Luo, who was surrounded by people of the Divine Virtual Academy, and left Feng Wudang alone.

\"How dare you point a sword at me?\" Feng Wuya raised his chin arrogantly as he stared at Junior Brother Luo, whose face was pale.

Junior Brother Luo's expression froze.

\"Feng Wuya, you should not be so reckless even if you are from the ancient Feng clan!\"

\"Oh?\" Feng Wuya lifted his brows slightly and scoffed. Suddenly, he kicked Junior Brother Luo's stomach in the next instant.

Junior Brother Luo took a few steps back as a result of the kick. He was about to raise his sword and kill the bastard instinctively.

However, before he could get close, the other disciples of the Divine Virtual Academy dashed towards him and snatched his sword away. He was then pressed onto the ground!

\"Reckless? Yes, I'm reckless. But what can you do to me?\" A trace of malice appeared in Feng Wuya's eyes as Junior Brother Luo was restrained on the ground. He took a step forward slowly and stepped on Junior Brother Luo's fingers with one leg.

898 Take Advantage of Others 4

Feng Wuya used all his strength to step on Junior Brother Luo's fingers, and he rotated his heel.

The breaking sounds of bones were heard immediately. Junior Brother Luo's fingers were totally crushed under Feng Wuya's foot.

\"Ahhh!!\" A horrifying scream exploded out of his mouth as his bones were crushed.

The Supreme Academy students' faces turned pale upon hearing the wretched scream.

\"How dare you point your sword at me! Who do you think you are!\" Feng Wuya scoffed and took a step back. His eyes were filled with a cruel smile as he stared at the bloody hand that was stamped by him.

\"Pull the idiot up!\"

The disciples of the Divine Virtual Academy immediately pulled Junior Brother Luo up from the ground.

\"Do you still want to be a hero? Look at yourself. How come you stopped attacking me now?\" A merciless smile appeared on Feng Wuya's face as Junior Brother Luo was pulled up from the ground.

Before Junior Brother Luo could say anything, Feng Wuya stabbed Junior Brother Luo's left shoulder with the dagger in his hand.

Screams rang in the air.

However, Feng Wuya's face was filled with a distorted and crazy smile. He slowly twisted the dagger in his hand. The blade that was in the wound grounded all the flesh.

A large amount of blood flushed out of Junior Brother's wound.

He twitched under the intense pain that was able to tear him apart.

Feng Wuya enjoyed the pain and suffering on Junior Brother Luo's face. He pulled out his dagger and looked at the pale students of the Supreme Academy standing not far away. His face was full of defiance and arrogance.

\"So pathetic. How dare you threaten me, bastard? None of your Senior and Junior Brothers will dare to make any sound even if I tortured you to death today. Do you believe that?\" Feng Wuya stared at Junior Brother Luo aggressively.

At the next second, he stabbed the dagger into Junior Brother Luo's other shoulder. He twisted the dagger to increase the pain.

\"Ahhhhhhh!\"

The wretched scream pierced through everyone's ears.

The students of the Supreme Academy were all pale as they witnessed Junior Brother Luo being tortured by Feng Wuya mercilessly.

\"What a bastard!\" Gu Tianhe's eyes were red as he shouted in rage. He could not control himself and was about to kill Feng Wuya.

However, how would Li Xiu allow him to be so reckless and impulsive? He stepped forward and stopped Gu Tianhe.

\"Junior Brother Gu! He's from the ancient Feng family clan! We can't… we can't afford to offend him…\" Li Xiu frowned and said.

Gu Tianhe clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Feng Wuya laughed furiously upon hearing his words. He suddenly pulled out the dagger and stabbed and sliced Junior Brother Luo's abdomen.

Junior Brother Luo's abdomen was sliced open, and a large amount of blood flushed out instantly. His internal organs were also dangling outside his stomach as they flowed out together with the blood.

Feng Wuya grabbed Junior Brother Luo's hair and forced him to turn his head to look at the students of the Supreme Academy.

\"Watch this for yourself clearly. People from the Supreme Academy are just a group of ants under the Ancient Feng family clan. What can they do to me even if I kill you now?\"

Junior Brother Luo was twitching under the pain, and his eyes were rolled back.

Feng Wuya admired the moment before death arrived. A smile appeared by his lips as he placed the dagger on Junior Brother Luo's neck.

\"Let… let him go!\" Feng Wudang was pinned to the ground and in such pain that he could not move. He tried his best to clamber off the ground and stop everything.

\"Let him go?\" Feng Wuya swept a glance at Feng Wudang and said smilingly. \"No problem…\"

The next second, Feng Wuya struck violently with the dagger in his hand. There was a sudden squelching noise as he chopped Junior Brother Luo's head off in front of everyone from the Supreme Academy!

A large patch of fresh blood spurted like rain from the stump of his neck. Feng Wuya flung aside the head, throwing it at the feet of the people from the Supreme Academy!

\"Let him go.\" Feng Wuya flicked his hands. The disciples from the Supreme Academy all smiled cruelly as they threw Junior Brother Luo's body in front of Feng Wudang.

\"What's the matter? I always keep my word. Since I promised to let him go, I have let him go. Haha… shouldn't you thank me for my benevolence?\" Feng Wuya laughed wildly as he looked with mocking eyes at Feng Wudang, who had collapsed to the ground.

\"Next, I will keep my word and cut off your ears. Look… how benevolent I am.\" Feng Wuya walked towards Feng Wudang, his eyes filled with cruel amusement.

\"Bastard!\" Gu Tianhe looked at Junior Brother Luo's head, which had rolled to his feet. He watched as Feng Wuya moved step by step closer to Feng Wudang. A violent rage swelled in his heart. With one move, he pushed aside Li Xiu who was blocking him, drew his sword, and charged at Feng Wuya.

\"Junior Brother Gu!!\" Li Xiu was shocked.

Although they abhorred Feng Wuya's actions, no matter how much they detested him, it was still impossible for them to fight Feng Wuya!

\"Another one seeking death.\" Feng Wuya swept a cold look at the charging Gu Tianhe. \"I don't have time to deal with you right now. Men, capture this one. After I cut off this one's ears, I will teach him a lesson.\"

With that, everyone from the Divine Virtual Academy blocked Gu Tianhe's path.

No matter how powerful Gu Tianhe was, he could not overcome so many by himself. He had no chance of even getting close to Feng Wuya.

In a moment, the disciples from the Divine Virtual Academy had severely injured Gu Tianhe. He was pressed to the ground, unable to move.

Feng Wuya walked in front of Feng Wudang and lifted him out of the pool of blood. He raised his bloodstained dagger and patted Feng Wudang's ears.

\"You should resign yourself to being a nobody. If you dare to offend me, even if you have ten lives, it will not be enough for me to toy with.\" Feng Wuya laughed coldly. A cold gleam flashed across his eyes. The dagger in his hand suddenly pressed down, and it looked as if he was about to cut Feng Wudang's ears off.

However…

Just as Feng Wuya struck, a figure suddenly flashed across everyone's eyes.

Before they could recover their wits, the figure was already next to Feng Wuya.

Before Feng Wuya could see the other person's face clearly, an enormous force suddenly arose from his stomach!

Feng Wuya was instantly sent flying. The dagger in his hand clattered to the ground!

All this happened so suddenly, and it was beyond anyone's expectations.

Feng Wudang had thought that he would not be able to escape this disaster. He did not imagine that someone would rescue him.

Feng Wuya was in pain. He clutched his stomach and stumbled backward while breathing heavily.

\"Who hit me?!\"

Feng Wuya roared and looked around with his eyes glittering with a cold light.

Feng Wuya looked around him, but there was no one in sight. It was as if he was hallucinating. No one had appeared, and no one had hit him.

But Feng Wuya clearly had just been viciously punched.

\"This…\"

The disciples from the Divine Virtual Academy exchanged glances.

Feng Wuya was just too weak. It was normal that he had not clearly seen what had happened. However, the Divine Virtual Academy disciples had clearly seen what had happened.

A beautiful girl had appeared, swiftly struck a heavy blow at Feng Wuya, and then left.

But the girl had moved too quickly. With Feng Wuya's abilities, he could not clearly see what had happened.

\"Junior Brother Feng, no one hit you. You are thinking too much.\"

The leader of the disciples from the Divine Virtual Academy hurriedly smiled and said.

If he told the truth, Feng Wuya would definitely make them capture the girl. They could not defy Feng Wuya's order, but if they obeyed and sent half their forces out to look for the girl, they would be shorthanded.

Just now, Feng Wuya had made a show of his authority in front of everyone from the Supreme Academy and then cruelly killed one of their people.

If the Supreme Academy became enraged and flung caution aside to pit themselves against Feng Wuya… and if Feng Wuya was injured because of this, they would all be held accountable.

\"No one hit me?\" Feng Wuya frowned deeply with a suspicious look.

\"That's right, no one hit you.\" A few disciples of the Divine Virtual Academy nodded rapidly.

\"Hahaha!\"

But before Feng Wuya could speak again, Gu Tianhe, who was being pressed to the ground burst out in wild laughter. He said excitedly, \"Feng Wuya, you're doomed. Our Senior Sister Ye is here!\"

Although Feng Wuya had not seen the person clearly, Gu Tianhe had clearly seen that the figure who had flashed past was their Senior Sister Ye, Ye Qingtang!

\"What are you saying?\"

Feng Wuya walked over to Gu Tianhe and punched his face. \"What Senior Sister Ye? Where is she? Ask her to come out!\"

At that moment, everyone from the Supreme Academy looked more and more puzzled.

The disciples from Supreme Academy that had come were all present. There was no Senior Sister Ye.

\"Didn't you say that no one hit me!\"

Feng Wuya turned to look at the people from the Divine Virtual Academy.

When the leader of the Divine Virtual Academy's disciples saw that he could not conceal the truth anymore, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

\"Oh… a dazzling beauty?\"

When he heard what the leader said, Feng Wuya's lips curved into a smile. \"No wonder… no wonder I sensed a mesmerizing scent…\"

\"If you won't come out…\"

Feng Wuya laughed coldly and clutched Gu Tianhe's throat. He looked about. \"I'll count to three. If you don't come out, I'll kill him. After that, I will kill one person from the Supreme Academy every fifteen minutes!\"

Gu Tianhe gritted his teeth and glared at Feng Wuya.

If not for the fact that the people from the Divine Virtual Academy were restricting his movements, he would disregard his own life and fight Feng Wuya to death.

\"Three!\"

Feng Wuya started the countdown.

\"Two!\"

\"One and a half!\"

\"One!\"

With that, Feng Wuya tightened his grip. He clutched Gu Tianhe's throat and lifted him into the air.

But at that moment.

A snow-white figure flew over!

901 It“s You Whom I Am Hitting 3

Before everyone returned to their senses.

Boom!

An eruption sounded.

Subsequently, Feng Wuya was flung out like a kite with a snapped string.

\"Ow!\"

Feng Wuya spat a mouthful of blood in midair.

\"Junior Brother Feng!\"

Noticing the situation, everyone from the Divine Virtual Academy could no longer care about Gu Tianhe and surged forward to catch Feng Wuya.

\"I heard that you're looking for me?\"

Standing beside Gu Tianhe, Ye Qingtang remarked flatly. Her long, jet-black hair swayed in the wind while her eyes were filled with nothing but indifference.

After finishing her sentence, she looked at Feng Wuya coldly. A cold glint shone in her eyes.

The lives of the people from the Supreme Academy had nothing to do with her originally, but no matter what, she somewhat had some relations with Gu Tianhe and Feng Wudang.

In reality, Ye Qingtang had not planned to poke her nose into this matter initially. However, she had some grudges with the Feng ancient clan.

In the Central Mainland in her previous life, after the news that Ye Qingtang possessed the Heart of the Demon God was exposed, she faced assassination attempts from many forces. The Feng ancient clan which Feng Wuya was in also participated in seizing her heart and used lethal attacks several times.

If it was anyone else, perhaps Ye Qingtang would not enter this saga. However… since it was an enemy from her previous life, she naturally did not mind settling the scores with him.

Others were afraid of the Feng ancient clan but not Ye Qingtang. Even if she offended the Feng ancient clan, she could just let Ling Yan help her think of a way out.

\"Ha… hahaha…\"

Feng Wuya stood up with the support of the Divine Virtual Academy disciples. Although he was in a rather miserable state, his burning eyes sized up Ye Qingtang at this moment.

Once he saw Ye Qingtang's exquisite beauty, he nodded repeatedly and said, \"Not bad… Truly not bad. Such a beauty is truly uncommon already…\"

Feng Wuya self-professed that he had seen countless beauties before, but there were few who could compare to this young lady before him.

The young man in the lead of the Divine Virtual Academy disciples was a little helpless upon hearing Feng Wuya's comment.

This fellow is already beaten up until like that, but his brain is still thinking about that kind of thing?!

Is this the legendary \"unable to move upon seeing a beauty\"…

\"Little beauty, do you know who I am? I am the grandson of the Feng ancient clan's Grand Elder! You have already committed a death crime by hitting me today. Your… your friends, including everyone in your clan, will lose their lives because of your disrespect today!\" Feng Wuya's avaricious eyes swept across Ye Qingtang's body, and he laughed subsequently.

\"However… you should be glad that you were born with such a good face… Since Heaven gave you such a good face, I will give you a chance.\"

Then, Feng Wuya looked at Ye Qingtang increasingly frivolously.

\"From now on, you will follow me and please me well. I can consider pardoning your clan from death and will only let them be slaves for eternity. How about that?\" Feng Wuya asked.

A Supreme Academy disciple, Li Xiu, was surprised and had a confused look when he saw Ye Qingtang, who suddenly appeared.

This lady was indeed wearing the uniform of a Supreme Academy disciple, but he had no memory of her. Could it be that he missed her out during the roll call just now?

While Li Xiu had his confusions, it was not the time to think about this issue right now.

Please go to to read the latest chapters for free

902 It“s You Whom I Am Hitting 4

It was already a grave sin to hit Feng Wuya in public!

Li Xiu immediately looked at Ye Qingtang and shouted with a frown.

\"You, come over!\"

After hearing that, Ye Qingtang looked at Li Xiu without any emotions.

\"Don't you know that he is from the Feng ancient clan of the Central Mainland? How dare you touch him?!\" Li Xiu was infuriated, and his brows were tightly furrowed

Although Feng Wuya was extremely despicable and Li Xiu, himself, also wanted to slaughter him to release his hatred, who would bear the consequences?!

Once anything happened to Feng Wuya, it was without a doubt that the attacker would die. Not just so, even he and all the junior brothers and sisters present would have to face this frightening outcome, and the Supreme Academy might even be embroiled in it as well.

What could they do by then?!

Could they let millions of people be buried together with one Feng Wuya?!

\"Hurry up and apologize to Brother Feng!\" Li Xiu frowned at Ye Qingtang and shouted.

Upon hearing Li Xiu, Feng Wuya, who was waiting for Ye Qingtang's reply, snickered coldly immediately. \"Li Xiu, what are you? Apologize… Can just an apology solve the problem? You're so ridiculously naive.\"

Uneasy, Li Xiu could only pile smiles on his face. \"Brother Feng, you are the bigger person… You possess the bloodline of the Feng clan. There's no need for you to lower your identity and fuss with these juniors…\"

\"Humph!\" Feng Wuya swept Li Xiu a disdainful look and scoffed.

\"Li Xiu, I'm telling you this: if she doesn't agree, not just her but everyone present here will die an extremely tragic death! I want to chop off all your heads, bring them back to the Central Mainland, and hang them at the door of the Divine Virtual Academy. I'll let everyone know the outcome of offending my Feng ancient clan.\"

Once Feng Wuya said that, everyone from the Supreme Academy was shaken, and Li Xiu's face turned pale instantly.

However, at this very moment, in the group of Divine Virtual Academy disciples, two young disciples' eyes drifted to Ye Qingtang.

The expressions of those two people were a little strange. Once they saw Ye Qingtang's face clearly, their eyes widened immediately and were filled with fear while their bodies trembled.

Almost at the same time, the two young disciples exchanged a look and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

This lady was the insanely-talented disciple from Supreme Academy a few batches ago, and her martial skills were unfathomable!

Previously, the two of them found Gu Tianhe, Feng Wudang, and the rest and wanted to attack them initially, but Perfected Gu Yun came into the picture subsequently.

Yet ultimately, they personally witnessed this lady before them slaughter Perfected Gu Yun right there and then with only one strike!

That Perfected Gu Yun was a Divine Arcane Supremacy, and furthermore, his backing was the well-known Ling Yan!

This lady even dared to kill Ling Yan's person. What else did she not dare to do?

However, at this instant, Ye Qingtang was mentally devising a plot to bring Feng Wudang and Gu Tianhe away from this place.

Every student of the Divine Virtual Academy was extremely powerful. It was said that this mainland had a strong suppression on the martial realm of outsiders, and perhaps Ye Qingtang still had means to deal with one or two people. But with so many of them joining forces…

\"Haha… Looking at you, it seems that you're unwilling.\" Feng Wuya stared at Ye Qingtang, who still had not given a reply.

Please go to to read the latest chapters for free

903 It“s You Whom I Am Hitting 5

Feng Wuya laughed coldly.

\"No matter whether you agree or not, it's not for you to decide!\"

Then, Feng Wuya told the group of Divine Virtual Academy disciples. \"You all, capture this slut for me immediately. Break her limbs if she resists. Just leave her with a last breath.\"

After hearing Feng Wuya's words, the Divine Virtual Academy people nodded and walked towards Ye Qingtang with great strides.

Upon noticing the situation, there were no emotions on Ye Qingtang's face, much less any signs of fear.

Although Ye Qingtang had not yet absorbed the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon, the divine power of the Heavenly Demon Pearl could still be used temporarily. If the power of the Heavenly Demon could be transferred out, she would not be able to defeat them, but she could flee this place alone without being caught by anyone.

However, at this instant, two disciples from the Divine Virtual Academy suddenly rushed out and stopped the leader.

\"Senior Brother, you cannot… cannot attack…\" the two disciples said frantically.

\"Why? Why can't I attack?\" The leader of the Divine Virtual Academy disciples frowned.

\"Senior Brother… this lady… is a Supreme Academy student from a few batches ago and was an insanely-talented student…\" That Divine Virtual Academy disciple explained hurriedly.

\"So what if she was an insanely-talented disciple from a few batches ago?\" The leader scoffed coldly and did not put it to heart.

So many of them were here. Would they still be afraid of an insanely-talented disciple from the Supreme Academy?

\"Senior Brother, do you know Perfected Gu Yun?\" that disciple said.

\"Of course I do. Ling Yan's teacher, a powerful figure at the Divine Arcane Supremacy level.\" The leader nodded.

Immediately, those two Divine Virtual Academy disciples exchanged a look and said rather bitterly, \"This lady… killed Perfected Gu Yun… with just one strike…\"

\"What did you say?!\"

The moment he finished his sentence, everyone from Divine Virtual Academy and Supreme Academy was filled with shock.

They were naturally aware of Perfected Gu Yun's skills.

But what was unbelievable to them was that… this lady actually killed Perfected Gu Yun, a Divine Arcane Supremacy, with one strike?!

Since the spirit energy on this mainland was insufficient, Perfected Gu Yun's martial realm was severely suppressed as a Divine Arcane Supremacy. Despite so, he was not someone they could contend against.

To be able to kill Perfected Gu Yun with one strike, didn't that mean in the Central Mainland, this lady was even more powerful than Perfected Gu Yun?!

To them, Perfected Gu Yun was was already a highly Divine Arcane Supremacy, yet this lady could kill him with a strike. What kind of existence was this lady?!

A Divine Arcane Supremacy at her peak or… a realm above the Arcane Supremacy, a Heavenly Venerate?!

Regardless of whether she was a Heavenly Venerate or a Divine Arcane Supremacy at her peak, she was considered an extremely powerful figure in the Central Mainland, especially if she was a Heavenly Venerate.

A saying once circulated in the Central Mainland.

Anyone beneath a Venerate… was nothing but an ant!

In the Central Mainland, a Virtual Arcane Supremacy was not anything as there was still a Divine Arcane Supremacy above it.

But above the Divine Arcane Supremacy, there was still the Heavenly Venerate!

It was already extremely difficult for cultivators to enter the Heavenly Venerate realm. To many, a Heavenly Venerate represented an unparalleled figure and was a legend.

At this instant, the Supreme Academy side watched on agape as well. Three batches before—what kind of concept was that?!

\"Senior Brother Li Xiu, this is Ye Qingtang, Senior Sister Ye. She is three batches before us!\" Feng Wudang struggled up and looked at Li Xiu and the rest.

904 It“s You Whom I Am Hitting 6

\"That's right. Senior Sister Ye has some grudges with Perfected Gu Yun. She killed him with one strike and saved our lives!\" Gu Tianhe nodded in agreement.

\"Older by how many batches? Three batches?!\" Li Xiu was astonished. \"Junior Brother Feng… Junior Brother Gu, do you all know… how many years there are in a batch?\"

The two of them were taken aback by the question and shook their heads. \"I'm not too clear.\"

The two of them had only entered the Supreme Academy to cultivate for around ten years. To Supreme Academy, these ten plus years were already considered short.

\"Do you all know… how old Supreme Academy's chief disciple, Senior Brother Long Qingyu, is this year?\" Li Xiu asked with a complicated expression.

\"He should be around two hundred years old…\" Gu Tianhe said instinctively.

\"You said she is from three batches above… In that case, she is at least six hundred years old?!\" Li Xiu asked, alarmed.

Six hundred years old?!

Everyone was astonished to hear that. This young, beautiful lady is actually six hundred years old?!

Everyone knew that once one's martial cultivation reached the Arcane Supremacy realm, the speed of their aging would slow down tremendously. Upon reaching the Heavenly Venerate realm, one could completely remain young and maintain their youthful appearance if there was a need…

\"What a joke!\" The leader of the Divine Virtual Academy disciples shouted coldly. \"You all said that she killed Perfected Gu Yun?! Do you all think that I'm a kid who is so easily fooled?! If that's the case, what evidence do you all have?\"

Although the two Divine Virtual Academy disciples said the same thing, the young leader did not believe them so easily.

\"Evidence?\" Feng Wudang looked at Gu Tianhe, and his eyes flickered. \"Show them the evidence.\"

Gu Tianhe nodded and subsequently retrieved a skull from his space ring.

The eyes on that skull were still wide open in fury and did not rest in peace. If he was not Perfected Gu Yun, who else could it be?!

\"Sssss…\"

After seeing Perfected Gu Yun's head, everyone from both Supreme Academy and Divine Virtual Academy gasped.

The head in Gu Tianhe's hand was none other than Perfected Gu Yun's head!

\"This… This this this…\"

The leader of the Divine Virtual Academy disciples was shaken when he looked at Perfected Gu Yun's skull.

\"Senior Brother… Three batches ago… Supreme Academy seemed… to have really produced a Heavenly Venerate!\" a Divine Virtual Academy disciple said cautiously at that moment.

After hearing the conversation between the Divine Virtual Academy and Supreme Academy, Ye Qingtang, as the center of the discussion, was confused.

Previously, she had already planned to use the Heavenly Demon Pearl's divine power to escape. Who would have thought that those two Divine Virtual Academy disciples would actually jump out to say that she killed Perfected Gu Yun…

\"Ling Yan… Could it be that this… is also in your scheme?\" For some reason, Ye Qingtang immediately thought of Ling Yan.

If she guessed correctly, those two Divine Virtual Academy disciples who hid in the dark happened to be there and witnessed her killing Perfected Gu Yun because of Ling Yan's scheme…

Since she already had a pretty good idea of the situation, she knew how she should settle this matter already.

\"You are the imp of the Feng clan?!\"

Please go to to read the latest chapters for free

905 It“s You Whom I Am Hitting 7

Ye Qingtang looked at Feng Wuya and shouted coldly. \"You're so young, yet you dare to be so impudent to me, a Heavenly Venerate! Let's not talk about you. Even the high-level powerful figures in your Feng clan do not dare to be so impudent when they see me!\"

Ye Qingtang's words completely stunned everyone from the Divine Virtual Academy.

She self-claimed to be a Heavenly Venerate…

In the Central Mainland, even a powerful figure at the peak of the Divine Arcane Supremacy did not dare to call himself a Heavenly Venerate as such a title was only reserved for those in the Heavenly Venerate realm!

Then, Feng Wuya looked at Perfected Gu Yun's head and looked at Ye Qingtang. For some reason, fear arose within him as well.

But under everyone's watch, that slight fear was subsequently suppressed as he kept a cold expression. \"So what if you're a Venerate? My Feng ancient clan has several Heavenly Venerates too!\"

\"Oh?\" Ye Qingtang snickered. \"Do you have any Heavenly Venerates by your side to protect you right now then?\"

Seeing that a murderous intent arose in Ye Qingtang's eyes, Feng Wuya was shaken and immediately ordered the Divine Virtual Academy disciples. \"Quick! Kill her! Even if she's a Heavenly Venerate, there's nothing to be afraid of. There isn't enough spirit energy here, and her skills are severely repressed!\"

While that was the case, no one from the Divine Virtual Academy dared to move.

The intimidation effect of the Heavenly Venerate title was already sufficient.

\"Let's not talk… Let's not talk about how her skills are repressed… Even if she remains at the same spot, do not retaliate and let us attack as we wish… I don't dare to either…\" A Divine Virtual Academy disciple mumbled.

\"That's right. A Heavenly Venerate has powerful connections. If we kill a Heavenly Venerate here, once we return to the Central Mainland, many Heavenly Venerates will definitely be after our lives… A Heavenly Venerate's friends should all be Heavenly Venerates… Look at how beautiful she is. If there are… Holy Venerates courting her or backing her…\"

\"Holy Venerate…\"

At the mention of the Holy Venerate, everyone's faces paled. Before a Holy Venerate, even Heavenly Venerates were no different from ants…

\"Hurry, move it!\" Feng Wuya hollered furiously.

However, no one listened to Feng Wuya this time.

They could do anything that Feng Wuya ordered them to but to kill a Heavenly Venerate?!

What joke was this!

No matter how courageous they were, they did not dare to!

\"Junior, whoever dares to act rashly will have their souls banished to the underworld!\" Ye Qingtang swept a look across the Divine Virtual Academy students.

Whoever whom Ye Qingtang looked at immediately lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact with her.

\"Heavenly… Heavenly Venerate…\"

Not just Feng Wudang and Gu Tianhe, but everyone from the Supreme Academy including Li Xiu was completely stunned.

It was also to say that this Senior Sister Ye once cultivated in the Supreme Academy six hundred years ago…

They actually met an insanely talented level Senior Sister from six hundred years ago in the Dragon Vein!

At the thought of that, Li Xiu felt goosebumps. How could he have shouted at this Senior Sister Ye just now!

\"Senior Sister Ye!\"

Li Xiu immediately knelt on a knee and said hurriedly, \"Senior Sister Ye, I did not know of your identity just now. Please pardon me!\"

Ye Qingtang waved a hand. \"I will not fuss over such matters with you juniors. No matter what, you all are my junior brothers and sisters.\"

\"Thank you, Senior Sister Ye!\" Li Xiu rose slowly, and his racing heart finally settled down a little.

\"You are Li Xiu,\" Ye Qingtang said while looking at Li Xiu.

Please go to to read the latest chapters for free

906 It“s You Whom I Am Hitting 7

\"Yes!\" Li Xiu nodded repeatedly.

\"Good. Watch those Divine Virtual Academy disciples properly. Whoever dares to move, you can just beat them to death,\" Ye Qingtang said.

\"Rest assured, Senior Sister Ye!\" Li Xiu agreed hastily without daring to have any objections.

\"Repeat what I said again,\" Ye Qingtang said.

\"Whoever from the Divine Virtual Academy dares to move, we will beat them to death!\" Li Xiu nimbly repeated.

The Divine Virtual Academy students were taken aback.

There was no need to repeat right… They did not intend to move either…

Swoosh!

Ye Qingtang used the powers of the Heavenly Demon Pearl and disappeared from the ground in a flash.

The divine powers of the Heavenly Demon Pearl surged into the sky. The sudden eruption allowed Ye Qingtang's speed to increase by multiple folds.

Even the Divine Virtual Academy and Supreme Academy disciples could not see Ye Qingtang's shadow with their naked eyes.

\"She truly is a Heavenly Venerate… Even if her martial realm is majorly restricted on this mainland, her speed… is truly frightening… Is she still human…\" The leader of the Divine Virtual Academy disciples was devoid of color.

Fortunately, he did not attack that Heavenly Venerate at once just now. Otherwise, he would have died a wronged death!

In the next second, Ye Qingtang appeared again but beside Feng Wuya this time.

\"You… You dare to touch me?! Even if you are a Heavenly Venerate, my Feng ancient clan is not what you can offend!\" Feng Wuya looked at Ye Qingtang, who was just a short distance away from himself. Fear ultimately appeared on his face.

Ever since he was born, no one ever had the thought to kill him.

Currently, the Divine Virtual Academy disciples did not dare to attack Ye Qingtang at all, and he no longer acted in an imposing manner as before.

\"Little kid, how dare you be so disrespectful to me! You are already a dead person!\" A cold glint shone in Ye Qingtang's eyes. Lending the divine power of the Heavenly Demon Pearl, she condensed an extremely horrifying might in her hand and struck Feng Wuya instantly.

Just the air pressure from the palm attack was as sharp as daggers. Feng Wuya instinctively blocked the attack with his hands, but his entire left arm was shredded into pieces by the wind.

\"AHHH!\"

A shrill cry escaped from Feng Wuya's mouth.

Immediately, Feng Wuya withstood the excruciating pain and fled ahead.

\"Where do you think you're escaping to?!\" Ye Qingtang shouted coldly.

\"You have a death wish!\"

Feng Wuya hollered in anger and took out a pure golden-colored talisman.

After taking out that talisman, there was a shocking change in Feng Wuya's manner instantly.

The virtual image of a white-haired elderly actually appeared behind Feng Wuya.

\"The Grand Elder of the Feng clan!\"

Everyone from Divine Virtual Academy and Supreme Academy was left agape when they saw the virtual image.

The face of the virtual image was none other than the Grand Elder of the Feng clan, a powerful Heavenly Venerate!

\"Grandfather, save me!\"

Feng Wuya saw the figure of that white-haired elderly and wailed hurriedly.

\"Humph!\"

The virtual image let out a heavy scoff. With just this one sound, everyone at the scene was dizzy. Dozens of disciples paled and spat out blood. Apart from Ye Qingtang, no one was spared!

Even Ye Qingtang's mind was a little adrift as well.

This was merely the virtual image of a Heavenly Venerate, and his scoff possessed such might. If the Grand Elder of the Feng clan was present, everyone present would probably die instantly…!

Although the might of that scoff was unparalleled, Ye Qingtang possessed the Heavenly Demon Pearl and did not have anything to fear.

A streak of Heavenly Demon aura surged out from Ye Qingtang's body and dispersed the might of that scoff instantly.

\"Oh right, Ling Yan wanted me to tell you… There is his Blood of Karma on the Heavenly Demon Pearl. If you meet with danger, you can use the Heavenly Demon Pearl.\" The little white tiger suddenly crawled out of Ye Qingtang's arms.

\"Blood of Karma…\"

Ye Qingtang was shocked. Every drop of the Blood of Karma was extremely important to Ling Yan…

There were two types of blood in Ling Yan's body: the first was the ordinary blood while the second was the Blood of Karma.

The virtual image shot a deadly glare at Ye Qingtang. This girl could actually withstand his aura…

\"Grandfather, quickly kill her!\" Feng Wuya shouted in panic.

Everyone here had already thrown up blood but not this woman!

\"Tear the talisman. It is sealed with one strike from me,\" the virtual image said.

Upon hearing the virtual image's words, Feng Wuya nodded repeatedly.

\"One strike from a Heavenly Venerate?!\"

Everyone was astonished.

That golden talisman was definitely some kind of treasure that could seal a powerful strike of a Heavenly Venerate. If that was really the case, the sealed strike was not in any way weakened because it was already sealed a long time ago and would not be affected by the spirit energy on this mainland. That would be a true strike of a Heavenly Venerate!

Even if Ye Qingtang was also a Heavenly Venerate, her martial realm was repressed currently, and it was impossible for her to withstand a strike from a Heavenly Venerate!

\"Haha, even if you are a Heavenly Venerate, you will die without a doubt after sustaining one strike from my grandfather!\"

Feng Wuya laughed coldly, as though he had already forgotten about the pain in his broken left arm, and he immediately tore up the golden talisman.

Just as the golden talisman was torn apart, the weather changed drastically, and the ground tremored. It was as though Heaven and Earth were reversed in that instant.

Everyone's bodies were about to be ripped into pieces. There was agony and terror in the deepest corners of their hearts

Swoosh!

In a flash, a bolt of light shot towards Ye Qingtang.

No one could see the color or trace of this bolt of light. It was as if eternity penetrated the breath of destruction into this mainland.

Nevertheless, Ye Qingtang's expression remained the same in the face of a strike from a Heavenly Venerate. She immediately transferred out all of the power of the Heavenly Demon Pearl.

\"Roar!\"

At that moment, a black virtual image seemed to descend from the sky with the power of karma surrounding the virtual image.

Swiftly, the black virtual image and the bolt of light clashed.

However, what was unbelievable was that the strike from the Heavenly Venerate and that black virtual image disappeared at the same time, and no one knew where they went.

\"Karma Diversion?!\" The elderly's eyes flickered continuously as he stared at Ye Qingtang.

This lady actually knew about the power of karma and used Karma Diversion to divert the power of his strike away!

At the same time, in a certain corner of the Dragon Vein.

Ling Yan stood beside the grave of the Azure Dragon and was surrounded by dozens of people.

\"Ling Yan, you will die without a doubt today!\"

\"I want to see who can save you!\"

The powerful figures from the Central Mainland sneered.

This Ling Yan is such a useless person, but he actually dared to come to this place alone and contend for the inheritance of the True Dragon with us?!

Facing the encirclement of dozens of powerful figures, an unknown smile, however, hung on Ling Yan's lips. \"There's no hurry to take my life. But before that, I wish to play a game with you all.\"

\"Game?\"

A certain powerful figure was dumbfounded. Presently, Ling Yan was already doomed to die, but he still had the mood to play a game with them… Was he feigning calmness or did he still have a hidden trump card?!

908 Demon-Like Intelligence 1

\"This game is extremely simple… Let's guess who will die first: you or me?\" Ling Yan said with a smile.

\"Cut the crap with him. Kill!\"

Ling Yan was known to have demon-like intelligence.

Although they had no idea what other cards Ling Yan had in his hand, they were a little restless when they faced such an intelligent person.

Just in case anything happened, they had to kill Ling Yan in the fastest speed possible in order for their minds to be at ease!

\"There are too many people that want my life… It's a pity that they always die before me.\" Ling Yan sighed softly. He turned a blind eye to the masses who surged towards him; he seemed completely relaxed, and no one could make sense of his calm composure.

Swoosh!

At the same time, a bolt of light appeared from somewhere and penetrated through the dozens of people present.

That bolt of light was extremely blinding, and no one could withstand its lethality.

\"Heavenly… Heavenly Venerate…\"

After sensing the power of this bolt of light, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

Boom!!

Boom!!

In the next second, the bodies of the dozens of people turned into ashes from the bolt of light.

Witnessing the scene before him, Ling Yan's lips curled up slightly into a devilish smile.

Such was the Karma Diversion!

At this instant, the dozens of powerful figures, who initially besieged Ling Yan, were hit by the strike from the Heavenly Venerate due to the Karma Diversion. They turned into ashes and disappeared along with the wind.

\"Anyone beneath a Heavenly Venerate is an ant, is it…\" Ling Yan stood with his hands behind him. His black hair danced in the wind as he looked up slowly with a faint smile.

\"What about a Heavenly Venerate? At your peak, you were the Demon God.\" Suddenly, the little azure dragon walked out from behind and spoke to Ling Yan.

\"Demon God, you say…\" Ling Yan slowly looked away and shook his head gently.

The so-called Demon God had already become past tense. If possible, he hoped to become the legendary… Divine Emperor in this lifetime and take a look at that even further, higher, and more mysterious world.

\"Ling Yan, you added the Karma Diversion on the Heavenly Demon Pearl. This way, the strike of the Heavenly Venerate which Ye Qingtang bore will become your power boost. Not only will this resolve Ye Qingtang's crisis, but it even allowed you to obtain the inheritance of the True Dragon. It truly is hitting two birds with one stone.\" The little azure dragon looked at Ling Yan and noted meaningfully.

\"Hitting two birds with one stone, you say?\" Ling Yan smiled without saying much.

\"However, I'm really curious about how you knew that Ye Qingtang would definitely be hit by a strike of a Heavenly Venerate.\" The little azure dragon was increasingly confused as it looked at Ling Yan.

Before waiting for Ling Yan to speak, the little azure dragon suddenly said, \"Don't say it yet. Let me take a guess… The Supreme Academy and Divine Virtual Academy are mortal enemies from the start.

\"This time, a noble heir from the Feng ancient clan of the Central Mainland followed the team from the Divine Virtual Academy. Given his personality, he would definitely clash with the Supreme Academy while the people from the Supreme Academy definitely would not dare to attack him because of his identity…

\"And given Miss Ye's character, she would not watch from aside… But you lured the two Divine Virtual Academy disciples to the scene where Ye Qingtang killed Perfected Gu Yun with a strike…\" The little azure dragon paused for a while and continued.

\"As long as those two disciples tell the other Divine Virtual Academy disciples about the incident, the Divine Virtual Academy disciples would definitely be fearful or may treat Ye Qingtang as a Heavenly Venerate.\"

\"As such, Ye Qingtang would have the opportunity to attack that noble…\" The more the little azure dragon spoke, the more it felt that its speculation was correct.

\"Although that noble's skills are not powerful, as a noble heir of the Feng clan, he definitely had the means to protect his life and launch a deadly strike. In that case, your Karma Diversion was put to use, where you made use of the deadly strike from the noble heir of the Feng clan to help you obtain the inheritance of the True Dragon. Am I right?\" The little azure dragon looked at Ling Yan with burning eyes. The more it speculated, the more it was overcome with emotion.

How intelligent is this Ling Yan exactly?

He really possessed a demon-like intelligence!

\"You are very smart too,\" Ling Yan said with a smile.

\"Ling Yan, oh Ling Yan. From the moment you asked Miss Ye to deal with Perfected Gu Yun, you have already schemed everything. You are in control of the entire situation, have an incredible foresight, and are extremely shrewd… Tsk tsk, you have my admiration.\" The little azure dragon remarked sincerely. Probably no one in this world could fully grasp Ling Yan's plan.

\"However, Ling Yan, no matter how intelligent you are, I can guess of whatever you think of as well.\" The little azure dragon spoke once again before Ling Yan could speak.

\"Mhm.\" Ling Yan nodded and said. \"But it's a pity that you missed out some things.\"

The little azure dragon was alarmed when it heard what Ling Yan said and immediately shook its head. \"Missed out some things?! How can it be? How would I miss anything out!\"

Ling Yan looked at the little azure dragon and chuckled. \"In your opinion, what would the Jiang clan do when I helped Miss Ye to teach Ye You, the granddaughter of the Domain Master Jiang Duantian, a lesson?\"

Although the little azure dragon did not know why Ling Yan suddenly mentioned this, it still replied. \"I'm afraid you will be in great danger. Given your martial skills cultivation…\"

\"Since that's the case, what will happen if the Feng clan and the Jiang family fought?\" Ling Yan questioned again.

\"The Jiang family and the Feng clan?\" The little azure dragon was a little puzzled. \"The two ancient clans are extremely powerful. Although there are some minor conflicts usually, how could such strong ancient forces start a war for no reason?\"

\"If someone from the Jiang family killed the grandson of the Feng ancient clan's Grand Elder, what would happen?\" Ling Yan smiled.

Almost instinctively, the little azure dragon replied hurriedly. \"Do I still need to say? Of course they would get to the bottom of it… But is that possible? That noble heir will die in Ye Qingtang's hands, wouldn't he? What has this got to do with the Jiang family?\"

\"But who would know that Miss Ye obtained the Heavenly Demon Pearl?\" Ling Yan's lips tugged up slightly. As a smile bloomed on his face, his expression appeared a little more detached.

\"You…\" The little azure dragon stared at Ling Yan in shock. \"Not only did you add the power of the Karma Diversion on the Heavenly Demon Pearl, but there's also the interfering aura from the Karma…\"

\"That's right.\" Ling Yan nodded slightly and said.

\"That Grand Elder of the Feng clan left a streak of his spiritual power on his grandson. Once something happens to his grandson, the spiritual power would resurrect. If he sees that a lady with the Heavenly Demon bloodline killed his grandson, how do you think… the Grand Elder of the Feng clan would think?\"

The little azure dragon narrowed its eyes and looked at Ling Yan.

\"If that's the case, the Grand Elder of the Feng clan would definitely think that the murderer of his grandson is from the Jiang family… because in the entire Central Mainland, only the Jiang family possesses the Heavenly Demon bloodline. Since you interacted with that Ye You previously, you used the power of karma to absorb the aura of her bloodline and transferred it to the Heavenly Demon Pearly with the power of your Karma Diversion. So… no matter what, the Grand Elder of the Feng clan will definitely believe that it was a member of the Jiang family who killed his grandson!\"

Ling Yan's hair swayed gently as he looked down with a faint smile without saying anything.

\"However, Ling Yan, that Grand Elder should have seen Ye Qingtang's face… Will your plan really work?\" The little azure dragon was rather confused again.

\"To kill Perfected Gu Yun with one strike and still be alive after a Venerate appeared, what do you think such a person's martial realm should be?\" Ling Yan asked.

\"At least a Heavenly Venerate.\" The little azure dragon replied.

\"What about Miss Ye?\" Ling Yan asked.

\"Ye Qingtang? Just an ordinary Yin Yang Perfected Lord…\" The little azure dragon answered honestly.

The moment the little azure dragon spoke, a flash of light ran in his head instantly!

It looked at Ling Yan with newfound realization and exclaimed.

\"I understand now! The Divine Virtual Academy students would insist that it's not that they did not protect the Feng clan noble but that the incomer was a Heavenly Venerate. Since that's the case, how could an ordinary Yin Yang Perfected Lord kill a Feng clan noble, who had the protection of many powerful Divine Virtual Academy disciples? Thus, even if Ye Qingtang's luck was extremely bad and she is found by the Grand Elder of the Feng clan, he would not believe that his grandson was killed by her. Instead, he would feel that someone intentionally disguised into her appearance and wanted to push the blame to Ye Qingtang…\"

Ye Qingtang's true skills happened to be able to confuse the Grand Elder's judgments!

Everyone would insist that a Heavenly Venerate killed Feng Wuya. Thus, in the eyes of the Grand Elder, Ye Qingtang, a Yin Yang Perfected Lord, would definitely not be the murderer!

Even if the Grand Elder of the Feng clan saw Ye Qingtang's face previously, he definitely would not believe that she was the one who did it.

After all…

The martial realms did not match at all!

How could a young girl at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm kill Feng Wuya, who was protected by the Divine Virtual Academy disciples?

Furthermore…

The Feng clan had always been suspicious and would naturally over-complicate Feng Wuya's murder.

Fraudulence, disguising of identity… The Feng clan would probably have such speculations…

The little azure dragon looked at Ling Yan in shock. This person was truly meticulous in his actions, and there was no flaw to be spoken of. Every step in his scheme was a dead end with no way out for others…

\"Ling Yan, if I guessed correctly, you want the Feng clan to attack the Jiang family not for yourself… There's completely no need for you to provoke the Jiang family. You must have done so for Ye Qingtang.\" The little azure dragon looked at Ling Yan meaningfully.

The Jiang family and Ling Yan did not have many relations, and Ling Yan did not need to deal with the Jiang family at all.

Rather…

Ye You and Ye Qingtang were mortal enemies, but Ye You became the granddaughter of the Domain Master, Jiang Duantian. As such, if Ye Qingtang headed to the Central Mainland, she would be in critical danger anytime…

The little azure dragon could ascertain that the true reason Ling Yan schemed against the Jiang family and drew such a huge enemy to the Feng clan was to protect Ye Qingtang…

\"Miss Ye, you say…\" An unnamed coldness emerged in Ling Yan's eyes. \"I will let anyone who has evil designs on Miss Ye have a taste of extreme misery like that of in hell.\"

\"Tsk tsk… Are you still the Ling Yan I know?\" After hearing what Ling Yan said, the little azure dragon looked at him with an ambiguous expression.

\"If that's the case, you can get to know me again.\" The icy expression in his eyes faded away, and he resumed his usual faint smile on his face.

\"There is a common saying here: once one's martial skills reach their peak, they can destroy all evil plots. However… everything is relative. Once demonic intelligence reaches a certain level, it can destroy all gods, surpass all Martial Qi, and destroy the heavens in one stroke.\" The little azure dragon looked at Ling Yan and shook its head.

…

At that moment, on a certain mountain ridge.

Ye Qingtang studied her surroundings. The mightiest blow by a Heavenly Venerate had actually dissipated completely.

\"Ling Yan's Karma Diversion…\" Ye Qingtang frowned deeply.

\"The Heavenly Demon Bloodline?!\"

A cold light glinted in the virtual image's eyes when it sensed the aura emitted by Ye Qingtang. \"You are a clansman of the Domain Monarch, Jiang Duantian!\"

After hearing what the old man said, Ye Qingtang did not speak, but appeared thoughtful.

Perhaps, Ling Yan had used Karma Diversion to move the aura of Ye You's bloodline to her body. When blended with the aura from the Heavenly Demon Pearl, it had caused the Heavenly Venerate to mistake her for a member of the Jiang Clan…

Ling Yan, oh Ling Yan, how well you have calculated…

She had not thought that Ling Yan would have prepared all this in advance.

However, since Ling Yan had already arranged all this, she did not need to waste these plans.

Ye Qingtang contemplated inwardly.

When he saw that Ye Qingtang did not reply, the old man became even more certain. This girl, who has such a strong aura of the Heavenly Demon Bloodline, must certainly be a member of the Jiang family.

\"Our Feng Clan and your Jiang family have always kept clear of each other. Today, you have broken the rules.\" The virtual image spoke coldly.

Further, this girl had earlier withstood the force of his scoff. In terms of martial skills, she was at least at the level of a Heavenly Venerate. In the entirety of the Central Mainland, even within the entire First Domain, a Heavenly Venerate with Heavenly Demon bloodlines could only be found in the Jiang family!

Ye Qingtang clearly understood that this virtual image had taken her for a member of the Jiang family. Ye Qingtang naturally did not reveal her status.

In order to hide her true status, she did not even draw her sword. She stepped forward and appeared in front of Feng Wuya.

In a flash, Ye Qingtang gripped Feng Wuya's neck and lifted him in mid-air.

\"Grand… father… save… save… me…\"

At that moment, veins bulged in Feng Wuya's forehead. His eyes were bloodshot, and his feet danced in mid-air as he cried out with difficulty.

He was the grandson of the Grand Elder of the Feng Clan. Everyone had looked up to him since the day he was born. With his lofty position, he had never experienced this kind of terror!

\"Release my grandson. Could it be that you want to start a war between the Feng family and the Jiang family?!\" The virtual image spoke angrily when he saw Ye Qingtang lift up Feng Wuya.

Ye Qingtang swept a cold glance at the ashen Feng Wuya in her grip. She raised her eyes slightly, looked at the virtual image, and scoffed coldly.

\"What a joke. Who does the Feng Clan think they are? Could it be that the Feng Clan does not know who the First Domain belongs to?!\"

\"How dare you!\" The virtual image raged. \"Does the Jiang family really think that the First Domain belongs to them?!\"

\"How dare you. After I, a Heavenly Venerate, arrived, your grandson dared to be discourteous to me. If it were anyone else, I would have already killed his entire family. Today, I am only killing your grandson. You should count yourself fortunate!\"

With that, Ye Qingtang did not give the virtual image an opportunity to say anything else. A cold gleam of light suddenly flashed across Ye Qingtang's eyes. Her hand exerted a force and instantly crushed Feng Wuya's neck!

Feng Wuya's neck immediately broke with a crack. His head drooped limply, and blood seeped from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. He was dead on the spot.

Feng Wuya's face was written with shock and terror, up to the moment of his death.

He had never dreamt that he would die here.

As Feng Wuya's life ebbed away, the trace of aura lingering in his body also dissipated, and the virtual image vanished.

At that moment, in the territory of an ancient clan in Central Mainland, a certain old man's half-shut eyes suddenly opened. A terrifying aura instantly and completely shrouded the territory of the ancient clan. The weather changed as if even the land was shuddering under the rage of the old man.

\"Jiang… Family!\"

The old man's eyes were filled with murderous intent. His voice was like thunder that tore the dark clouds asunder.

…

Amidst the Dragon Vein forests, when all the disciples of the Supreme Academy and the Divine Virtual Academy saw the tragic way Feng Wuya died, they were all terrified. Their expressions were filled with disbelief.

That was the grandson of the Grand Elder of the ancient Feng Clan!

He had died… just… like that?!

\"Finished… finished… finished…\" The leader of the youths from the Divine Virtual Academy was as pale as a corpse. His body was drenched in cold sweat. It was as if his entire body had been drained of energy.

Feng Wuya had followed them into the Dragon Vein. Now, Feng Wuya had died tragically on this land. How were they supposed to give an account to the ancient Feng Clan when they returned?!

Everyone from the Divine Virtual Academy was both shocked and terrified. No one dared to make a false move.

Although the ancient Feng Clan was terrifying, the Heavenly Venerate in front of them was equally frightening.

Further, even if the ancient Feng Clan wanted to call them to account, it would only be after they returned to Central Mainland.

But this Heavenly Venerate was right before their eyes!

If she so wished, she could immediately take their lives!

\"What a pity…\"

Ye Qingtang stared at Feng Wuya, who had died.

On Feng Wuya's hand was an exquisite space ring.

As the grandson of the Grand Elder of the ancient Feng Clan, Feng Wuya's space ring would certainly contain unimaginable treasures.

What a pity that as her current status as Heavenly Venerate, she could not snatch away Feng Wuya's space ring in front of everyone!

If she really did that, it would arouse suspicion.

With that thought, Ye Qingtang's gaze swept towards the group from the Divine Virtual Academy.

Thump!

Before Ye Qingtang could react, the young man, who was the leader of the Divine Virtual Academy, suddenly knelt on the ground. His face filled with panic as he said, \"Senior… Senior Heavenly Venerate, this Feng Wuya was guilty of the most heinous crimes. He forced us all… we had no choice!\"

\"That's right, that's right. We have long been unhappy with that beast, Feng Wuya!\"

\"Senior Heavenly Venerate, that bastard Feng Wuya used his status as the grandson of the Grand Elder of the ancient Feng Clan to lord it over us. Not to talk about the young and pretty female disciples of the Supreme Academy, even in our Divine Virtual Academy, he forcefully robbed many of our junior and senior sisters of their innocence…\"

\"Senior Heavenly Venerate, Feng Wuya's death is not worth mourning over. Senior, you have gotten rid of an evil person. This killing is good, truly good!\"

At that moment, everyone from the Divine Virtual Academy was absolutely terrified.

This person had killed Feng Wuya without batting an eye. If she wanted to kill them, would it not be like crushing an ant?

At that moment, they could only plead for her to allow them to live.

Naturally, each of them mustered all their energy to show contempt of Feng Wuya, desperate to sever all connections with him.

\"Get lost!\"

Ye Qingtang flicked her sleeves. She had no interest in talking nonsense with them.

913 Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix 1

When they heard Ye Qingtang's words, everyone from the Divine Virtual Academy nodded vigorously. They immediately fled after receiving amnesty.

They were all deeply afraid that Ye Qingtang would change her mind. They fled the place as fast as they could. Their only regret was that their parents had not given them a few more legs at birth.

\"Senior Sister Ye…\"

As they looked at the fleeing figures of the people from the Divine Virtual Academy, Li Xiu, Feng Wudang, and Gu Tianhe walked towards Ye Qingtang.

\"Senior Sister Ye needs to be more careful. After all, Feng Wuya is the grandson of the Grand Elder of the ancient Feng Clan. Now that Senior Sister Ye has executed him, the ancient Feng Clan will not let take this lying down.\"

When he heard what Gu Tianhe said, Li Xiu said, \"Senior Sister Ye is a Heavenly Venerate. Since she dared to kill Feng Wuya, she is not afraid of the ancient Feng Clan. There is no need for you to worry unnecessarily.\"

Gu Tianhe nodded when he heard that. Only then did he truly realize that this Senior Sister Ye was a Heavenly Venerate. There was nothing to worry about even if she took the life of an ordinary Virtual Arcane Supremacy.

Ye Qingtang said to Feng Wudang, Gu Tianhe, and the others, \"I still have other matters to attend to. All of you have to be careful in the Dragon Vein.\"

\"Don't worry, Senior Sister Ye,\" said Li Xiu.

\"Is Senior Sister Ye going to the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix ?\" Gu Tianhe asked curiously as he looked at Ye Qingtang.

\"That's right.\" Ye Qingtang nodded in agreement without denying it.

Gu Tianhe, Feng Wudang, and the others had previously followed the guidance of the Wintry Yang Aura and passed by the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.

However, for some reason, the Wintry Yang Aura seemed to repel them. Very few powerful people could be led within by the Wintry Yang Aura.

When she heard this news from Gu Tianhe and the others, Ye Qingtang remained composed and showed no signs of surprise.

It was natural for high-level inheritances of this nature to be like that. It was not that the person chose the inheritance, but that the inheritance chose the person. Not just anyone could enter the eye of the inheritance.

It was naturally like the Heavenly Demon Pearl, which was an inheritance from the Heavenly Demon. Ye Qingtang had originally wanted to obtain the inheritance from the Heavenly Demon, but Ye You had obtained it first, and Ye Qingtang had taken it later. The meaning was completely different.

Under the reverent gaze of the group from the Supreme Academy, Ye Qingtang slowly moved farther and farther away until she vanished from their sight.

With the guidance of the Wintry Yang Aura, after half a day, Ye Qingtang traversed the mountain range and arrived at an idyllic valley.

Ye Qingtang saw over ten men and women, both young and old, gathered at a stream.

The aura of the Divine Arcane Supremacy appeared among them.

Every one of these ten plus people had a formidable presence. They could not be compared with an ordinary Arcane Supremacy.

\"Yin Yang Child…\"

Ye Qingtang gaze swept over the group of people. At a glance, she saw that Yin Yang Child and the others were also among them.

Ye Qingtang immediately shook her head secretly. Why had Yin Yang Child come to the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix instead of going to the inheritance of the True Dragon…

Then, she saw another girl arrive. Everyone's gaze moved over to study her and then moved aside after a while.

\"Ah… this inheritance of the Divine Phoenix is so lively. But not just anyone can come here and be acknowledged by the Divine Phoenix.\"

An elegant looking girl dressed in green with a sword girded about her waist glanced at Ye Qingtang, then turned up her nose, and sneered.

914 Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix 2

A hundred meters away from the spring laid a route that everyone had to pass through. It was covered by a pale red screen. To contest for the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, one must first obtain the recognition from the Divine Phoenix. Otherwise, one would not even have the qualifications to contest for the inheritance, much less obtain it.

A moment later, Ye Qingtang calmly walked towards the pale red screen with great strides.

In just an instant, Ye Qingtang passed through the screen.

Many were surprised by what they saw. This lady… actually obtained the Divine Phoenix's recognition so easily?!

Amongst them, there were people who even tried over ten times before barely passing through the screen…

\"It's you?!\"

After Ye Qingtang entered the screen, Yin Yang Child recognized her at first sight.

Yin Yang Child immediately stood up and glared at Ye Qingtang furiously.

Although Yin Yang Child's skills were powerful, he was rather young—only about thirteen or fourteen—and thus he was half of Ye Qingtang's height when he stood before Ye Qingtang.

\"What happened, little fellow?\" Ye Qingtang looked at Yin Yang Child and chuckled with smiles in her eyes.

\"What… did you say… Little fellow? Who are you calling little fellow!!\"

After hearing Ye Qingtang's address, Yin Yang Child was instantly taken aback. A long while later, his eyes twinkled with threat, and an intent to kill Ye Qingtang arose.

\"Where exactly is my father's Nine Sons Seized Souls book?! How dare you all trick me… and lead me to where Black and White Holy Son was!\" Yin Yang Child shouted sternly as he glared at Ye Qingtang.

Just because of what Ling Yan said, he actually crossed paths with Black and White Holy Son when he was heading to find the Nine Sons Seized Souls book.

Yin Yang Child and Black and White Holy Son were foes, and both of them could be said to be like fire and water. Every time they met, they would be caught up in a long and intense fight.

Yet, Yin Yang Child's skills were worse than Black and White Holy Son's.

When both of them met a while ago, Yin Yang Child was almost killed by Black and White Holy Son…

Seeing Ye Qingtang right now, Yin Yang Child was obviously searing with fury!

Ye Qingtang indiscreetly glanced across the people in the screen, where she happened to see another figure.

That person was none other than Yin Yang Child's enemy, Black and White Holy Son.

The two who were originally fire and water, however, remained within this screen safely.

Even after seeing how exasperated Yin Yang Child was, Black and White Holy Son remained at his spot far away, as though he did not have any intention to fight with Yin Yang Child at all.

A thought suddenly emerged in Ye Qingtang's mind. Her eyes swept across the other people within the screen, and she understood the situation.

Subsequently, Ye Qingtang spoke plainly.

\"I am not your father. You should ask your father if you want the Nine Sons Seized Souls book.\" It was as though she was utterly ignorant of the murderous intent in Yin Yang Child's eyes.

\"It seems you have a death wish!\"

Yin Yang Child was infuriated immediately. He condensed all his strength in his left palm and aimed towards Ye Qingtang's glabella.

The power of this hit was extremely frightening, and even the sturdiest metals would be crushed into pieces by Yin Yang Child's attack.

However, Ye Qingtang did not dodge or avoid Yin Yang Child's attack, and an unknowing scoff played on her lips.

In a flash, Yin Yang Child's palm landed violently, and a piercing sound lingered in the air.

However…

Just as Yin Yang Child's palm was less than three inches away from Ye Qingtang, a scarlet gleam suddenly appeared from midair and pushed Yin Yang Child to the ground!

915 Inheritance of the Divine Phoenix 3

\"How hateful!\"

Yin Yang Child stood up in helpless rage.

\"This is the Divine Phoenix's land of inheritance. How can you behave so impudently here?\" Ye Qingtang cast Yin Yang Child a look and said coldly.

Indeed, her speculation was right.

She found it strange since just now. Given the conflict between Yin Yang Child and Black and White Holy Son, how could they remain at the same place in peace?

Perhaps…

It was not that they suddenly decided to bury the hatchet but that they were simply forbidden from attacking each other within this screen in the land of inheritance.

Coming to think of it, the supreme-grade inheritance here had great spiritual wisdom, and trialists favored upon by the inheritance were completely forbidden from attacking each other. Otherwise, if someone's skills overrode the others and he killed everyone else, wouldn't the inheritance belong to him without a doubt?

As such, once any trialist attacks another trialist in such a land of inheritance, the inheritance would step in to prevent such an incident from happening.

No matter how powerful one was, he was still unable to unleash his skills to harm others once in this land of inheritance.

Otherwise, not mentioning the conflict between Yin Yang Child and Black and White Holy Son, the other people within the screen would probably already have fought each other with their lives to contend for the inheritance.

How would there still be so many people standing around foolishly?

Ye Qingtang sensed the abnormality from the start and vaguely guessed the rules in this land of inheritance. As such, even if she saw that Yin Yang Child wanted to kill her, she was never anxious.

Anyway, they had already entered the land of inheritance, and all Yin Yang Child could do was to glare at her no matter how annoyed he was.

\"Hahaha, Yin Yang Child, you still have the temperament of a child. She agitated you on purpose, and you still foolishly attacked her.\" A teenager in black armor mocked when he saw Yin Yang Child being thrown onto the ground forcefully by the power of the Divine Phoenix.

\"Black and White Holy Son, I didn't think that you would actually treat this kind of person as your opponent. Isn't it too boring?\" Without giving Yin Yang Child a chance to speak, the teenager in black armor commented again with a smile as he looked at a good-looking man, whose hair reached his waist.

Upon hearing that, the good-looking man, who was referred to as Black and White Holy Son, shot a distant look at the teenager. \"You talk too much.\"

\"Do I?\" The teenager sneered. He was about to continue saying something, but a solemn voice rang in the air.

\"Any trialists who attacks others again will be expelled from here.\"

Everyone could not help but be taken aback when they heard it. The inheritance of the Divine Phoenix finally appeared…

The Divine Phoenix's voice appeared only for one moment and disappeared without a trace.

\"That's strange. Didn't the Divine Phoenix already die in the battle? Why did the Divine Phoenix's voice appear here?\"

\"Right… Could it be that the Divine Phoenix did not even die and was searching for an inheritor here instead?\"

Everyone was curious about the appearance of the Divine Phoenix's voice, and there were many discussions about it.

\"The Divine Phoenix did pass on. However, such supreme beings can still keep a tiny trace of its spirit alive even if it had died for millions of years. This remaining spirit is the protector and ruler of the Divine Phoenix's land of inheritance. One must obtain its permission in order to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix. Anyone who snatches by force will face a tragic ending regardless if the person was a Holy Venerate or Holy Venerate.\"

An emotionless voice rang at that moment.

Upon hearing it, everyone looked in the direction of the source of the voice.

A man was sitting cross-legged by a stream. His long, purple hair reached his waist while his eyes remained shut.

916 The Divine Phoenix“s Trial 1

\"Absolute Monarch of Heaven…\"

After they recognized the man, the person's face changed slightly.

Absolute Monarch of Heaven was one of the extraordinary talents of the younger generation in Central Mainland. He possessed outstanding talents and was ranked near the top of the Honor Roll List.

Ye Qingtang's eyes followed everyone's line of sight and slowly landed on the Absolute Monarch of Heaven. When she saw the face of the man, Ye Qingtang was stunned.

The purple-haired man before her was so familiar…

In Ye Qingtang's previous life, she became sworn siblings with six brothers, one of whom was the Absolute Monarch of Heaven before her!

Ye Qingtang never thought that she would meet the Absolute Monarch of Heaven at this place.

As she looked at him sitting cross-legged by the stream and his long, purple hair dancing in the wind bewitchingly, reminiscence filled her.

Memories of the time spent with the six sworn brothers flooded her mind.

Those were the few memories from her past life that were worth looking back on.

Although many scenes filled her mind, Ye Qingtang quickly looked away at this instant.

In this life, she did not have any relations with the Absolute Monarch of Heaven yet, and he was not her sworn brother. It was thus better to not look at him for too long or else it would arouse the suspicion of the Absolute Monarch of Heaven.

\"Haha, I was wondering who it was. So it is the Absolute Monarch of Heaven… However, Absolute Monarch of Heaven, how do you know so much?\" The man in black armor looked at Absolute Monarch of Heaven and asked with a smile.

However, Absolute Monarch of Heaven no longer gave any response.

The man in black armor did not gain any reply, and he did not say anything more either.

\"When is the trial starting…\"

At this instant, many powerful figures exchanged a look. The Divine Phoenix spoke just now, but it was only one sentence, and it did not make any sound again after that.

Currently, no one could give any answers, and the only thing they could do was to wait. As for when they had to wait until, no one was clear. After all, the Divine Phoenix did not give any more hints.

Ye Qingtang was not anxious. Seeing that the trial for the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix had not opened, she was not as restless as the others. Instead, she found a quiet place to sit and consolidate her martial cultivation.

No one could conjecture the Divine Phoenix's meaning. Since that was the case, all she needed to do was to wait patiently and not waste energy.

Presently, Ye Qingtang's martial cultivation had already entered the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven and was steadily advancing towards Yin Yang Perfected Lord Fourth Heaven. In no time, she could make a breakthrough to the Fourth Heaven.

Time ticked away. The bright sky turned dark and back bright again. This cycle continued for about half a month.

As time passed, every minute became unknowing torture to the people within the screen.

For the entire half a month, the Divine Phoenix never appeared.

The patience of the people awaiting the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix eroded away bit by bit.

No one knew exactly when the trial for the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix would begin. Remaining within the screen, it was as though they were waiting for a destiny so far in the indefinite future. They did not have any clue about it and did not know its deadline.

In this half a month, some cultivators ran out of patience and left the land of inheritance halfway. However, when they returned and tried to step into the screen again, they were isolated outside and could no longer enter the screen at all.

Everyone understood the current situation. Once anyone of them left the land of inheritance, it would be impossible for them to enter it again. Yet, even if they remained in the land of inheritance, the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix did not appear.

917 The Divine Phoenix“s Trial 2

The passing of time gradually became a form of torture.

One would not have the opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix should he leave, but if he remained, no one knew when would the wait end.

The wait was so long it seemed forever…

Until a month later, several cultivators lamented and left. All of their patience had been eroded by this indefinite wait.

With the continuous departures, only two-thirds of the trialists remained in the land of inheritance.

Apart from the endless wait, procuring food was a significant issue as well. Although it was said that one's need for food would reduce as the cultivation realm increased, they still needed to consume something.

While everyone had a space ring, which powerful figure would store large quantities of food in their space ring?

The little amount of food that they brought was quickly depleted.

Fortunately, there were wild fruits nearby that could replenish their energy. Otherwise, no one could persevere this long.

Two months later, the Divine Phoenix's voice appeared once again.

To the masses within the screen, its voice could be claimed to be heavenly.

\"Congratulations, you all have passed the first round of the trial,\" said a scarlet virtual image that appeared in the sky.

After hearing the Divine Phoenix's voice again, everyone was delighted but also dumbfounded when they heard what the Divine Phoenix said.

Congratulations, they have passed the first round of the trial?!

What did that mean?

Very quickly, the people understood the meaning behind the Divine Phoenix's words.

Ever since they entered the land of inheritance, the trial of the Divine Phoenix had already begun!

It was, however, that no one knew about it.

The endless, indefinite wait was the first trial that the Divine Phoenix gave them.

Those cultivators who had already left were equivalent to those who had not passed the first round of the trial.

Ye Qingtang opened her eyes slowly. Two months was not torture to her.

\"Everyone has been here for about two months and must be extremely exhausted already. Please come with me.\"

After saying that, its scarlet figure floated ahead immediately.

Noticing the situation, everyone, including Ye Qingtang, followed after the Divine Phoenix without hesitation.

About an hour later, everyone followed the Divine Phoenix and reached a small bamboo forest.

As soon as they entered the small bamboo forest, the aroma of food entered their noses.

Just the aroma was enough to cause one to salivate.

Moreover, these were people who had been eating wild fruits for two months.

When everyone looked up, they noticed a huge long table not far away from them.

That long table could seat hundreds of people. All sorts of rare and exotic delicacies from around the world were displayed on the table.

After leading the group here, the Divine Phoenix said gently, \"You all have only been relying on wild fruits to fill your stomach over the past two months. All of you must be very tired and famished right now. Please take a seat.\"

After hearing the Divine Phoenix's orders, everyone immediately dispersed and took a seat.

\"Please,\" the Divine Phoenix said.

Everyone had been eating wild fruits for two months and did not have much of an appetite. With the Divine Phoenix present, they did not dare to overly display their desire for food.

However, since the Divine Phoenix had already spoken, some cultivators expressed their thanks and immediately wolfed down the food, as though they wanted to make up for the fine delicacies they did not eat in the past two months at one go.

918 The Divine Phoenix“s Trial 3

However, as those cultivators were eating heartily, some others frowned and did not take any action.

Seated at the side of the long table, Ye Qingtang looked at the delicacies plainly without any intention to consume them.

\"Why are you all not eating?\"

Sensing the behavior of those people, the Divine Phoenix's eyes landed on Ye Qingtang, and it asked in confusion.

Ye Qingtang slowly stood up and replied with cupped fists. \"I just think it is a little strange; thus, I did not start eating.\"

\"Strange\" The Divine Phoenix was taken aback. \"So you're saying that these delicacies are poisoned?\"

Upon hearing that, the cultivators who were wolfing down the food stopped eating immediately and looked at the Divine Phoenix in shock. This Divine Phoenix could not have really poisoned the delicacies, could it…

\"It's not that I think you poisoned us.\" Ye Qingtang shook her head and said slowly. \"I just feel that it's a little odd only.\"

\"Tell me what is odd,\" the Divine Phoenix said calmly.

\"How could there be food in this mystic realm? Let's talk about this wine first. It requires specialized brewing, and there are no ingredients in the valley that could make it, let alone the technical process of making the wine.\" Ye Qingtang explained slowly and continued.

\"Even if the ingredients are available, I believe that you may not know how to make wine. Even if you do know, you may not have the tools… Next, these delicacies have a delightful appearance and smell. However, you do not have a physical body. How can you make these items? Moreover, the Divine Phoenix clan is adept at illusions… Hence, I feel that all of this is probably an illusion which you created, Lord Divine Phoenix.\" Ye Qingtang looked up slightly at the Divine Phoenix with clear eyes.

\"Illusion?\"

After hearing Ye Qingtang's explanation, the cultivators who were eating their hearts out found it rather unbelievable. If this was an illusion, it was a little too real. The taste of the wine and delicacies still lingered in their tongues.

Moreover, there were so many of them present, and the Divine Phoenix did not have any chance to execute an illusion on them.

Naturally, it was a different affair if the Divine Phoenix was incredibly powerful.

\"You think that this is an illusion?\" The Divine Phoenix looked at Ye Qingtang.

\"It's only my guess. I cannot be sure.\" Ye Qingtang replied.

\"What about you?\" The Divine Phoenix looked at Yin Yang Child.

\"Me? I'm afraid you would poison me.\" Yin Yang Child replied straightly.

\"You?\" Very quickly, the Divine Phoenix looked at Black and White Holy Son.

\"My body constitution is special. I don't need to eat or drink.\" Black and White Holy Son replied with a slight shrug.

\"What about you then?\" The Divine Phoenix looked at the Absolute Monarch of Heaven a while later.

\"I'm not hungry,\" replied the Absolute Monarch of Heaven.

The majority of the people at the scene thought that it was a little strange. Due to their habitual cautiousness, they did not begin eating.

\"What about you? Why did you eat?\"

A moment later, the Divine Phoenix looked at the cultivators who consumed the food.

\"Why?\" The cultivator who was pointed out by the Divine Phoenix was slightly dumbfounded. \"Didn't… Didn't you ask us to eat…\"

\"You?\" The Divine Phoenix looked at another person.

\"I'm hungry!\" That cultivator replied.

\"Mhm… I understand now.\" The Divine Phoenix nodded after gaining the answers.

As the Divine Phoenix finished its sentence, the small bamboo forest shattered like glass pieces.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they returned to their senses.

Currently, they were still beside the stream of the mountain valley. Where were the delicacies from before?

919 The Divine Phoenix“s Trial 4

Everyone looked around their surroundings. The stream before their eyes was more than familiar. From the very start till the end, all of them had never left this place at all!

\"Illusion?!\"

Several cultivators who were proficient in illusion techniques were completely shaken.

They were extremely accomplished in the field of illusions and definitely could sense it if an illusion technique was cast on them.

However…

The illusion cast by this Divine Phoenix was simply flawless and was no different from reality. It was as though they entered the illusory space from reality in a second without any signs of it!

Who could have sensed that such a sophisticated move was an illusion?!

\"How can this be?!\"

The cultivators who consumed the delicacies a while ago were dumbstruck.

After feasting, they clearly felt the wine passing down their throats and the delicacies filling their stomachs.

How… could this be an illusion?

This was too frighteningly real!

The Divine Phoenix had passed away with the True Dragon many years ago.

Currently, this scarlet virtual image was merely the last trace of the spirit of the Divine Phoenix. Could it be that the last remaining spirit of the Divine Phoenix was so powerful?!

How terrifying was this power!

If the Divine Phoenix wanted to use the illusion technique to massacre them, it could do that in an instant.

If the Divine Phoenix wanted to do harm, everyone at the scene would already have died!

\"It's a pity that you all are not cautious enough… I told you all to eat, and so did you all. If I told you all to die, would you all listen obediently as well?\" The Divine Phoenix sighed as it looked at those cultivators who ate heartily and were currently at a loss right now.

A few cultivators were a little baffled. Of course, there was no problem in following the orders if they were told to dig in and feast, but it was definitely impossible if they were told to die…

Without giving the cultivators a chance to speak, the Divine Phoenix shook its head rather disappointingly. \"You all are not cautious enough, and the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix must not land in the hands of careless and impatient people.\"

After it spoke, the cultivators' bodies exploded instantly and turned into chopped pieces.

\"Ah…\"

Many cultivators were left agape by what they saw. Even if they did not pass the Divine Phoenix's assessment, it did not… did not get to the point where it had to kill those people, did it?!

Who knew if they could pass the assessment? If they were unable to, wouldn't they… die as well?!

At this moment, everyone could not help but begin to feel that… the cultivators who left out of impatience at the very first round of trials were extremely lucky.

Although those people did not pass the first round, they did not have to worry about their lives…

\"Currently, the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix has already begun. From the second round onward, victors can obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix while failures only have the fate of death. Anyone who is afraid can withdraw.\"

The Divine Phoenix announced coldly.

\"I withdraw!\"

A lady took a step forward immediately and said after a moment of hesitation.

Only one person could obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix. In that case, out of the remaining thirty plus people, only one person could live!

Who was willing to gamble with their lives?

\"May I ask how many people will eventually obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix?\" A young man asked with a frown.

\"Only one.\" The scarlet figure replied.

\"If that's the case, I will withdraw as well.\" The young man lamented and shook his head.

\"Forget it, it seems that the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix and I have no fate. I will withdraw too.\"

920 Faced With Beauty 1

\"I will withdraw as well… Only one person can live. It's almost a definite death for us.\"

In just a short while, eight cultivators withdrew from the trial.

They did not have full confidence to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.

If they failed, the only option they had was death.

Risking their lives for a destiny was too horrifying.

No one had the courage to face such a gamble with only a slight chance of survival.

\"You all don't even have such little amount of courage. How can you all have the qualifications to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix?\" The scarlet figure looked in disappointment at the eight people who withdrew.

\"Courage? Is courage more important than our lives?\" One of the people who withdrew answered with a frown.

However, the moment that person finished speaking, the scene before everyone's eyes shattered once again.

Everyone was awakened. The cultivators who were previously crushed by the Divine Phoenix were standing at their original location, well and alive.

It was as though the gruesome scene from before never appeared. Even the smell of blood that lingered in the air had disappeared without a trace in an instant.

\"It's an illusion again…\"

Ye Qingtang mumbled to herself…

Everything that happened just now was probably another trial by Divine Phoenix.

The Divine Phoenix intentionally let everyone watch the scene of the cultivators being crushed as a test of their courage and determination…

The trials that the Divine Phoenix set were closely linked, and the illusions were extremely realistic. Even an illusion master was probably unable to distinguish illusion from reality. No one would suspect anything when encountering such a high-level illusion.

Even Ye Qingtang thought that those cultivators were killed by the Divine Phoenix. Never had she thought that this was actually still an illusion cast by the Divine Phoenix!

\"This is all thanks to Ling Yan…\"

Ye Qingtang mumbled.

If Ling Yan did not clearly tell her that she would definitely be able to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, she probably would have thought of withdrawing as well.

This was not because Ye Qingtang was not courageous or determined enough.

In this rebirth, she still had many unfinished things. If she died at this moment, what difference was there from her previous life?

Having to meet death just because of the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, Ye Qingtang naturally had to weigh her options carefully.

Moreover, the Dimension Wall of this mainland had already shattered. In no time, that mysterious ancient clan would arrive to collect that extraordinary lady's Spiritual Abode and destroy this entire mainland. The reason she required the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix and for coming to the Dragon Vein was all to become more powerful and eventually fight against those outsiders. Before that, she must not gamble with her life!

Once she lost the gamble, not only would she die, but everyone in Xuanling Sect, Ye family, her father, and friends would all die as well. She could not take this gamble.

This time, her life did not belong to herself.

If she died, she would not be able to save many others.

\"You all lack awareness, courage, and determination. The inheritance of the Divine Phoenix must not be given to you all.\"

The Divine Phoenix looked disappointedly at the eight cultivators who initiated to withdraw and those who were not cautious and shook its head.

As the Divine Phoenix finished speaking, ten plus people were sent out of the land of inheritance and disappeared.

\"The assessment will continue.\" The Divine Phoenix spoke.

\"May I ask, what assessment it is?\" Yin Yang Child asked curiously.

Upon hearing that, the young man in black armor convulsed with laughter. \"Are you a fool? If the Divine Phoenix really told you, wouldn't you be prepared for it? Are you foolish or did you treat Lord Divine Phoenix as a fool?\"

921 Faced With Beauty 2

\"What business is it of yours!\" Yin Yang Child said coldly as he looked at the youth in black armor.

The youth in black armor was stunned. He was just about to speak when at the same moment, the Divine Phoenix said, \"No matter. I'll tell you. The next test is lust.\"

\"Lust?\"

When they heard the Divine Phoenix's words, everyone exchanged glances. What did that mean?!

\"To be precise, it is temptation. Your temptation will be actively produced by what you have seen and heard,\" the Divine Phoenix said.

Realization dawned after they heard the Divine Phoenix's words.

\"Divine Phoenix, we will certainly be prepared now that you have revealed it… no matter how tempted we feel, we cannot possibly be moved… so, what is the purpose of the next stage's test?\" A middle-aged man was puzzled. The Divine Phoenix had not given them any hints in the previous stages. Why was it suddenly being so agreeable now?

They were not stupid. Since they knew it was a test and that the situation was obviously created by the Divine Phoenix, they would not fall into the trap.

The Divine Phoenix only calmly shook its head in response to the middle-aged man's doubts. \"This time, I will strip you of your ability to think rationally. You will not think that it is a test. I want to observe your instincts.\"

Strip them of their ability to think rationally?

What did that mean?

Could it be that… the Divine Phoenix was so powerful it could control their thinking?!!

Everyone was shocked, but they had no time for further consideration.

As the Divine Phoenix spoke, complete silence fell on the valley.

As they entered a trance, a dense fog descended…

Yin Yang Child stood in the black fog. A delicate fragrance seemed to linger in his surroundings.

Beside him stood a girl of stunning beauty. Her clothes were in disarray, and her eyes exuded tenderness.

Yin Yang Child looked rather puzzled. He did not know where he was or what he was doing.

His mind was blank and completely devoid of former memories.

He looked at this girl of stunning beauty. He did not know where she had popped out from.

\"Come…\"

A voice that was so soft it sank into his bones, slowly rang out. The stunningly beautiful girl narrowed her lovely eyes slightly and waved at Yin Yang Child with her right hand. Her hand was so soft, it was almost boneless.

This careless action seemed to contain all kinds of flirtatious expressions. Her fluid glances seemed to encompass all that was beautiful in this world.

Yin Yang Child looked at the girl of unparalleled beauty before him. He was not moved at all. Instead, he frowned and shouted coldly,

\"Whose maid is this? Get lost, don't hold up my cultivation!\"

Yin Yang Child did not know where he was or why he was here. Only the path of pursuing power he had always pursued remained buried deep in his heart.

So what if he was faced with beauty?

Yin Yang Child was only thirteen or fourteen. What did he know of love between a man and a woman?

He was intent only on hastening his cultivation and upgrading himself as fast as possible so that he could press his sworn enemy, Black and White Holy Son, to the ground and pound him with a hammer.

At the same time, not just Yin Yang Child, but Black and White Holy Son, the youth in black armor, Absolute Monarch of Heaven, and the twenty over men and women present, including Ye Qingtang, were all in the same situation. They had all sunken into the same state. They had forgotten the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, forgotten the Dragon Vein, forgotten everything.

The dense fog dissipated a little.

A faint light shone.

Ye Qingtang looked around. Before her was the interior of a dimly lit room.

This was…

Before Ye Qingtang could think clearly, she suddenly sensed a trace of a strange aura coming from behind her.

922 Faced With Beauty 3

Ye Qingtang instinctively turned around. She was taken aback by what she saw.

A handsome man with an icy expression and absolutely emotionless eyes was standing quietly within her line of sight.

At a glance, Ye Qingtang recognized this man with a frosty cold demeanor.

\"Since you have nothing with which to repay me, you should marry me.\" Han Cangming slowly extended his hand to Ye Qingtang. He spoke coldly as his icy cold gaze fell on Ye Qingtang.

\"Lord of the Antiquity Palace… Han Cangming?!\"

Ye Qingtang's whole body shuddered when she saw this ferocious and cold man.

How did she run into this fellow!

Ye Qingtang's scalp prickled when she heard Han Cangming's familiar \"marry me\".

Ye Qingtang almost instinctively turned to flee. She was terrified that Han Cangming would see the Heart of the Demon God within her.

Just as Ye Qingtang turned to leave swiftly, a voice suddenly rang out from behind her.

\"Miss Ye.\"

Ye Qingtang paused, her foot just touching the threshold.

The voice behind her was completely different from the previous icy one. Instead, it seemed to contain infinite tenderness.

In a daze, Ye Qingtang turned slightly and looked behind her.

This glance stunned Ye Qingtang.

Han Cangming, who had been standing behind her, had vanished.

Instead, a man who was so handsome he looked like he had walked out of painting was standing there instead.

He stood there quietly, and his extraordinarily clever eyes looked at her smilingly.

\"Ling Yan?\"

Ye Qingtang stopped when she saw Ling Yan. Her expression showed a faint trace of bewilderment.

\"Yes… it's me.\" Ling Yan nodded.

\"What about Han Cangming?\" Ye Qingtang asked in surprise. She clearly remembered seeing the Lord of the Antiquities Palace.

\"Don't know.\" Ling Yan shook his head laughingly. He immediately extended his hand to Ye Qingtang and said, \"Come.\"

Ye Qingtang was rather puzzled, but she walked towards Ling Yan without thinking much about it.

After all, she and Ling Yan were friends.

\"Where is this place? Why am I here? You… and why are you here…\" Ye Qingtang's expression grew increasingly puzzled. She momentarily could not recall what had happened.

Her mind seemed rather fuzzy. It was as if she was wanted to think of something, but she could not recall anything.

\"Here?\" Ling Yan looked around him. \"Of course, this is a place for newly-weds.\"

\"Newly-weds?\" Ye Qingtang was stunned. She studied her surroundings again and suddenly realized that the arrangements in the room had changed drastically.

The originally dim room was now brightly lit with red candles. The interior was hung with bright red silks, turning the entire room into a sea of bright red.

\"You're married? Who did you marry? Congratulations…\" Ye Qingtang suddenly snapped out of her trance. She felt that something was amiss, but when she tried to pursue the thought, a voice in her mind seemed to tell her that this was the way things should be.

Ye Qingtang immediately opened her space ring. Since it was Ling Yan's wedding day, of course, she had to congratulate him.

She had originally thought of finding something in the space ring as a wedding present, but now, she realized that there was nothing in her space ring.

\"I'm sorry, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring a wedding present.\" Ye Qingtang lifted her eyes with an apologetic look.

\"You did bring one.\" The corners of Ling Yan's mouth turned up slightly. His half-smiling eyes slowly passed over Ye Qingtang's entire body.

923 Faced With Beauty 4

Then, he approached slowly and gently grasped Ye Qingtang's small hand.

Without waiting for Ye Qingtang to respond, Ling Yan tugged at Ye Qingtang and pulled her into his embrace.

\"You are the biggest wedding present.\"

\"…\" Ye Qingtang was shocked.

What was going on?

Was Ling Yan manipulating her?!

\"Miss Ye, could you have forgotten?\" Ling Yan said as he gently held Ye Qingtang in his embrace.

\"I've said it before. Since you have nothing to repay me with, you should marry me.\" Ling Yan laughed softly, not giving Ye Qingtang a chance to speak.

Of course, Ye Qingtang understood what those words meant. It was just that Ye Qingtang had thought that Ling Yan was manipulating her, so she had acted dumb and did not give Ling Yan a chance to manipulate her.

Right now, Ye Qingtang could not recall why and when Ling Yan had first said these words.

\"That's enough….\"

Ye Qingtang pushed Ling Yan aside almost instinctively.

What was that Ling Yan plotting now?

However, Ye Qingtang's push sent Ling Yan flying.

Ling Yan knocked against something and fell to the ground, fainting.

\"…\"

Ye Qingtang wiped her forehead. She had pushed him instinctively, forgetting that Ling Yan's martial cultivation was… truly…

With her current ability, how could he withstand that kind of damage from her?

\"Ling Yan… are you alright?\"

Ye Qingtang could not help but feel somewhat worried when she saw the unresponsive Ling Yan lying on the ground.

If she had really hurt this fellow, then she was really…

Ling Yan was the one who had brought about her rebirth. Ling Yan had also helped her many times in the past.

Ye Qingtang asked herself whether she was someone who repaid good for evil. She immediately hurried forward and helped Ling Yan up.

Just as Ye Qingtang helped Ling Yan up.

Ling Yan's closed eyes suddenly opened!

It was as if his narrow eyes were filled with stars. He gazed unblinkingly at Ye Qingtang, who was just inches away.

Ye Qingtang could not help but be taken aback by this pair of eyes that stared at her unwaveringly.

But before Ye Qingtang could return to her senses, Ling Yan suddenly raised his head and pressed against Ye Qingtang.

Ling Yan's speed was shocking. Ye Qingtang was completely unable to react.

Under Ye Qingtang's surprised gaze, Ling Yan smiling lips peremptorily kissed Ye Qingtang.

He gained the initiative and pulled Ye Qingtang into his embrace with one arm. This outrageous invasion was akin to a king occupying a territory.

When she felt the warmth of his lips, Ye Qingtang suddenly came to her senses and pushed Ling Yan aside.

\"You dare manipulate me!\" Ye Qingtang glared at Ling Yan angrily.

Ling Yan only looked at Ye Qingtang with a half-smile.

It was as if some warmth lingered at the corners of Ye Qingtang's lips. As she looked at the half-smiling Ling Yan, Ye Qingtang took a deep breath and said, \"If I don't kill you today, my name is not Ye Qingtang!\"

Ye Qingtang immediately drew her Regicide Sky Blade and slashed at Ling Yan.

When he saw Ye Qingtang coming at him with her knife, Ling Yan only shook his head. \"Do you want to murder your dear husband on your wedding night?\"

\"Dear your head!\" Ye Qingtang glared at Ling Yan.

Damn his wedding night!

To hell with murdering her dear husband!

\"If my wife wishes to kiss my head, then as a husband, I have no choice but to obey.\" Ling Yan laughed softly, and his eyes filled with a doting expression.

924 Faced With Beauty 5

\"You're toying with me… If I don't mince you up today, my name is not Ye Qingtang!\" Ye Qingtang's slashed out with her sword, but Ling Yan's figure floated backward.

\"Of course your name is not Ye Qingtang. After you marry me, you will take my surname… of course, I can also take your surname.\" Ling Yan laughed.

Ye Qingtang was rendered speechless. Before she could make her next move, the void exploded.

Large amounts of dense fog rolled in, obscuring Ye Qingtang's vision. With that, Ling Yan's figure also vanished slowly.

When Ye Qingtang came back to her senses, she was standing next to a stream in a valley.

\"This…\"

Ye Qingtang's expression was one of shock. The stream in front of her was so familiar.

What had just happened?

Ye Qingtang vaguely felt that she had just experienced something, but she drew a blank after careful thought.

All she could remember was the Divine Phoenix telling them that the next stage was lust…

Her memory was frozen at the moment when the Divine Phoenix had last spoken.

Ye Qingtang had no memory of what had happened after that.

Ye Qingtang immediately studied her surroundings. All the powerful people present were in a daze. They stood motionless at their original spots as if they had been asleep.

Only Yin Yang Child was frowning and looking around him, and he seemed to be more normal.

\"You are the second trialist to have resisted temptation,\" a scarlet image in the void said to Ye Qingtang.

\"Resisted temptation?\" Ye Qingtang frowned slightly. She had no recount of what had just happened.

With that, Ye Qingtang thought of something. \"Second? Then the first is…\"

Ye Qingtang instinctively looked at Yin Yang Child.

\"Do you need to ask? Of course, it's me.\" Yin Yang Child laughed coldly.

The corners of Ye Qingtang's lips twitched a little. Yin Yang Child was at most thirteen or fourteen… what use was the so-called temptation by beauty to him?

Ye Qingtang could not understand what Yin Yang Child had to be proud of.

If he was not the first to emerge, that would be truly preposterous.

However, Ye Qingtang sank into deep thought.

She was the second person to resist temptation. This meant the so-called temptation by beauty was either by gorgeous women or handsome men.

Ye Qingtang did not know what degree of temptation the Divine Phoenix had used at this stage. She did not have any memories.

To Ye Qingtang, being faced with beauty was no great difficulty.

With her many experiences in her past life, she had already learned to look beyond beauty that was skin-deep.

She had never been worried about this test.

\"Your luck is pretty good.\"

While Ye Qingtang was thinking, the Divine Phoenix spoke suddenly.

\"My luck is pretty good?\" Ye Qingtang was taken back. \"What does Lord Divine Phoenix mean?\"

\"You almost succumbed,\" the Divine Phoenix said.

\"…\" Ye Qingtang widened her eyes in disbelief.

She had almost succumbed?!

Impossible!

What kind of handsome man could cause her to almost succumb?!

Ye Qingtang had been pretty confident of her self-control, but the Divine Phoenix's words caused doubt to arise in her heart.

Was there someone on earth who could use his good looks to sway her?

\"In that case, Lord Divine Phoenix, who was it who almost caused me to succumb?\" Ye Qingtang's expression was one of curiosity. She really wanted to know what kind of handsome man had caused her heart to waver.

\"How would I know who he is?\" the Divine Phoenix said blandly.

925 Trade-offs 1

Ye Qingtang's expression was rather strange.

If what the Divine Phoenix said was true and it was all an enchantment, then the scenes and people that appeared must be derived from the thoughts of the trial-takers….

But the Divine Phoenix's enchantment skills were too profound, and Ye Qingtang found it difficult to judge the situation.

In addition, she did not remember the events that she saw and experienced in the enchantment. Now, she could only guess a part of it.

Time slipped past as Ye Qingtang pondered deeply.

After a moment, many of the men and women slowly awoke.

Their expressions were dazed, and they looked about them in confusion.

Based on their appearance, it was obvious that they could not recall what had happened.

After about an hour, more than half the people had woken up, including Ye Qingtang and Yin Yang Child.

The other half of the trial-takers were absorbed in the Divine Phoenix's enchantment and were unable to extricate themselves.

Based on the faint flickering expressions of those who were absorbed, she knew that they were enraptured and unable to extricate themselves.

\"Everyone, congratulations on passing the trial at this stage.\" The Divine Phoenix spoke slowly after some time had passed.

The Divine Phoenix's words caused everyone present to exchange glances.

They had passed the third stage's trial of beauty?

But they could not remember anything! They were completely ignorant of the circumstances of the trial or how they had passed it.

Many of them were rather curious about the process of the test, but no matter how hard they searched their minds, they could not find remember a single thing.

No matter how curious they were, they remained unsatisfied.

Naturally, if the Divine Phoenix did not bring it up, they would not ask about it either.

\"Apart from you, the remaining trial-takers were not resolute enough. They have sunk into the temptation of beauty and are unable to extricate themselves. They have already been eliminated.\"

As the Divine Phoenix spoke, the bodies of the ten plus men and women who had not woken up slowly became transparent. In the span of a few breaths, they were sent out by the Divine Phoenix.

They were probably still sunk in the trial, enraptured by the flood of beauty. They did not know that they had lost their chance to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.

The tests of the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix were like that. No matter how many stages you passed, as long as you failed one stage, you would be immediately eliminated.

After successive trials at each stage, in the end, only one person could obtain the inheritance.

\"Lord Divine Phoenix, if I may ask, how many more stages do we have to pass?\" Black and White Holy Son asked as he looked at the scarlet image in the void.

\"There is one last stage,\" said the Divine Phoenix.

There was only one last stage?!

When they heard the Divine Phoenix's words, the remaining ten plus cultivators relaxed.

The Divine Phoenix's trials were really confusing. It was impossible to guard against its dream-like enchantment skills.

Even the most confident of them was unable to predict whether they would be able to pass the unknown test.

Fortunately, there was only one last stage left.

However, the last stage would probably be difficult.

No matter what, only one person could obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix. The rest would be eliminated.

The Divine Phoenix immediately led everyone forward.

After a while, Ye Qingtang and the others who had followed the Divine Phoenix arrived at an underground palace.

\"This is…\"

The moment the door of the underground palace opened, a rich display of lights and colors illuminated their eyes.

They saw at a glance that the large palace contained countless rare treasures and gems. They were casually piled into heaps and glittered with numerous sparkles. The treasures were as numerous as the stars, dazzling everyone's eyes.

926 Trade-Offs 2

At the entrance of the palace was a huge altar.

Next to the altar were scattered many long-lost Dharma treasures!

\"Divine Virtual Pagoda?!\"

\"Is that the legendary Oracle Bell?!\"

Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. As they looked at legendary lost Dharma treasures, they were almost unable to believe their eyes.

Some even secretly pinched their thighs, trying to prove that what they saw was reality and not something created by the Divine Phoenix's enchantment skills.

\"What is this…\"

\"Lord Divine Phoenix, this is…\"

Black and White Holy Son asked the scarlet figure in the void.

\"All this is part of the inheritance,\" the Divine Phoenix said slowly.

The Divine Phoenix's words immediately stunned everyone.

Every item present was extremely valuable. They would be content to obtain any one of them.

\"As everyone can see,\" the Divine Phoenix said, \"the fourth stage involves gains and losses.\"

\"Gains and losses?\"

Absolute Monarch of Heaven pondered this for a moment but still did not understand the meaning behind the Divine Phoenix's words.

\"That's right,\" the Divine Phoenix said. \"Loss means to lose the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix. Gain means to gain these Dharma treasures. Every trial-taker is free to equally share out all the treasure here. But the price of this is the loss of the true inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.\"

\"This…\"

Everyone present was stunned. They had not expected the fourth stage to be like this.

\"Similarly, if anyone persists in obtaining the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, then… they are not destined to have these Dharma treasures. However, ultimately, only one person who can obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.\"

\"That is also to say, even if we give up these Dharma treasures, we may not obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix…\" one of the cultivators said with a frown.

\"That's right.\" The Divine Phoenix looked at the cultivator who had spoken.

For a moment, everyone was in a dilemma and did not know what to do.

Of course, they were aware of the incredible value of the Dharma treasures before them. If they missed this opportunity, they might never be destined to encounter them again.

However, their goal in coming here was the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.

This trade-off truly vexed everyone.

Both outcomes were greatly alluring.

Just as everyone was pondering the matter, a figure was the first to emerge from the group.

Ye Qingtang lifted her eyes and saw that the figure who had gone forward was Absolute Monarch of Heaven.

Absolute Monarch of Heaven's expression was completely natural. He walked straight towards the golden Divine Virtual Pagoda.

As everyone watched, Absolute Monarch of Heaven decisively took the Divine Virtual Pagoda.

\"My thanks to Lord Divine Phoenix.\" Absolute Monarch of Heaven placed the Divine Virtual Pagoda in his space ring, then cupped his fist, and looked at the Divine Phoenix.

\"If you choose this Dharma treasure, it is equivalent to giving up your rights to be the successor of the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix,\" the Divine Phoenix said.

Absolute Monarch of Heaven was expressionless when he heard that. He nodded slightly and said, \"It's alright. To me, the value of the Divine Virtual Pagoda is sufficient.\"

\"That's right, legend has it that the Divine Virtual Pagoda contains a very unusual space. If a cultivator enters the Divine Virtual Pagoda to cultivate, he will achieve twice the results with half the effort. It is as if a day within the pagoda is equivalent to just an hour in the external world!\"

\"Just think, even if the value of the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix is greater, only one person can be so lucky…. if we give up the treasures here and fail to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, won't we wish we had died?\" When he finished speaking, one of the cultivators immediately went forward and chose one of the Dharma treasures.

\"Herb of Heavenly Life!\"

Suddenly, an old man dressed in a black robe, with an overcast expression, looked at the plant and exclaimed in surprise.

\"That's right. A cultivator who uses the Herb of Heavenly Life will increase his natural lifespan by a thousand years,\" the Divine Phoenix said.

When he heard that, the black-robed old man's body quivered slightly. He had come to this land because he had only a few years left. He wanted to try his luck and to see if he could, by chance, advance his cultivation state and increase his lifespan…

However, the black-robed old man had never thought that he would find the legendary Herb of Heavenly Life here!

\"Lord Divine Phoenix… may I… take the Herb of Heavenly Life. I give up the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix…\" The black-robed old man looked longingly at the Divine Phoenix.

To the black-robed old man, no matter how powerful the inheritance was or how valuable the Dharma treasures were, they could not compare to extending his lifespan.

Without life, what use were the Dharma treasures to him?!

\"You may,\" The Divine Phoenix said.

At the Divine Phoenix's acquiescence, the black-robed old man's eyes filled with wild joy. He immediately carefully kept the Herb of Heavenly Life.

Everyone present knew the value of the Divine Virtual Pagoda and the Herb of Heavenly Life.

Previously, some of them suspected that the treasures before them were created by the Divine Phoenix's enchantment skills. But now, they saw with their own eyes that Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the black-robed old man had successively placed the Divine Virtual Pagoda and the Herb of Heavenly Life in their own space rings. Only then did they believe… that all this was real.

At that moment, everyone was amazed by the Divine Phoenix's generosity…

It was actually giving away these treasures.

One must understand that if any one of these treasures were found outside, it would cause many conflicts.

It must be said that these Dharma treasures were more tempting to them than the real inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.

Just as everyone was exclaiming in amazement, Ye Qingtang's eyes were suddenly drawn to a bronze mirror.

It was just an ordinary bronze mirror, except that a circle of strange totems was carved around its borders. These totems seemed to be covered by a layer of rust and looked extremely ancient.

Among the heap of treasures, this bronze mirror was not outstanding. But at that moment, it attracted Ye Qingtang's full attention.

Mirror of Illusions!

Legend had it that this Dharma treasure that could transform all martial skills into matter!

At that moment, Ye Qingtang looked in amazement at the bronze mirror. Her expression held a rarely seen look of shock.

Ye Qingtang had heard about the Mirror of Illusions in her previous life.

It could be considered a Sacred Mirror!

Even when she had become a Holy Venerate, she had not been destined to obtain a Dharma treasure like this!

Ye Qingtang previously had not thought much about the pile of treasures before her.

But when she saw the Mirror of Illusion, she was somewhat tempted.

The Mirror of Illusions could convert any force into pure material energy, no matter how great the force.

For example, if Ye Qingtang faced a Paragon level cultivator and the Paragon slashed out with an apocalyptic stroke of his sword, if the Mirror of Illusions shone on it, then the sword gleam would be transformed into stone, or rain, or some completely ordinary material that had almost no lethality. It could be used to block the martial skills of the most powerful cultivator!

Would it not be wonderful to have such an object with her?!

\"Ah, the Mirror of Illusions. I never thought that I would see this Dharma treasure in my lifetime!\" The man in black armor had also noticed the Mirror of Illusions.

He instinctively took a step forward. His body quivered, and his expression became extremely agitated.

\"It's just a lousy mirror. What good is it?\" Yin Yang Child saw how agitated the man in black armor was and quietly took a step forward.

Yin Yang Child glanced disdainfully at the ordinary-looking ancient mirror.

\"Lousy mirror?\" The man in black armor looked at Yin Yang Child and laughed coldly. \"Little fellow, you don't know anything. Why don't we give it a try?\"

\"Ah… I'm afraid you'll die under my sword,\" Yin Yang Child said coldly.

\"Lord Divine Phoenix, may I test it?\" The man in black armor looked at the Divine Phoenix.

\"You may.\" The Divine Phoenix agreed immediately.

When they heard that, everyone turned their attention in that direction.

Everyone was aware of the Mirror of Illusions's reputation. Of course, they knew about its extraordinary powers, but no one had been fortunate enough to see it.

At that moment, the desire to enrich their experiences naturally arose in all of them.

The man in black armor picked up the Mirror of Illusions and raised his brows slightly. He said to Yin Yang Child, \"Draw your sword.\"

Clank!

The long sword was unsheathed with a crisp ringing sound. It truly suited Yin Yang Child.

\"Strike me,\" the man in black armor said fearlessly.

\"This is the first time I've heard such an unreasonable request.\"

When he heard the man in black armor's words, Yin Yang Child laughed coldly, and a cold light flashed across his eyes!

Since the Divine Phoenix had already agreed that they could act, he had no restraint.

As he spoke, Yin Yang Child flicked his wrist. The long sword glittered with cold light as it swept towards the man in black armor.

Swoosh!

A frightening howl emerged. A visible sword gleam swept towards the man in black armor with great speed.

However, the man in black armor did not panic. He raised the Mirror of Illusions in his hand slightly.

In the next second, a strange luster appeared on the Mirror of Illusions under everyone's disbelieving gaze.

The sword gleam from Yin Yang Child's stroke was immediately transformed into blocks of wood.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

The wooden blocks fell heavily to the ground. The man in black armor stood at the same spot, untouched.

The formless sword gleam had actually been transformed by the Mirror of Illusions into blocks of wood!

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, no one in this world would believe that such a thing could happen.

\"This…\"

\"To think that such a treasure exists!\"

\"Truly frightening!\"

Everyone was stunned when they witnessed the power of the Mirror of Illusions.

If they had the Mirror of Illusions, even the most terrifying strike could be defused easily!

\"Yin Yang Child, did you see that? That was what you called a lousy mirror.\" The man in black armor laughed.

\"It's still a lousy mirror.\" Yin Yang Child shrugged.\" It can block my sword gleam, but can it block my fists?\"

Without waiting for the man in black armor to respond, Yin Yang Child stepped forward and punched the man in the face.

The man in black armor was completely unprepared, and Yin Yang Child's fist smashed viciously into his face.

\"You see, it can't block my fists,\" Yin Yang Child said.

\"You have a death wish!\" The man in black armor roared in rage. He instantly kicked out and struck Yin Yang Child squarely in the stomach. The force of the kick sent Yin Yang Child flying.

\"You wanted to give it a try… how dare you retaliate?!\" Yin Yang Child clambered up and shouted in rage.

\"I allowed you to unsheathe your sword and strike me, but I didn't allow you to hit me with your fists,\" the man in black armor said.

\"I'll kill you!\" Yin Yang Child was enraged. He struck a pose, ready to fight to the death with the man in black armor.

\"How dare you!\"

The Divine Phoenix suddenly shouted coldly.

When the Divine Phoenix spoke, Yin Yang Child and the man in black armor fell silent. They immediately retreated and did not dare to make a false move.

\"Lord Divine Phoenix, I don't want the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix. I want this!\" After a moment, the man in black armor spoke to the Divine Phoenix.

What of the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix? Just the Mirror of Illusions was enough!

\"Alright.\" The Divine Phoenix nodded. \"But I need to warn you that the Mirror of Illusions was refined by the ancestor of the Divine Phoenix. Only those of the Divine Phoenix's bloodline can use it. To someone without the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix, it will just be a piece of useless metal.\"

\"You need to have the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix to use it?!\"

The man in black armor was stunned. Then, he frowned and said, \"Lord Divine Phoenix… I don't have the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix. But as everyone saw with their own eyes, I used the Mirror of Illusions just now.\"

\"That's because this is the place of my death. The surroundings are imbued with the power of my bloodline, and that's why you could use it.\" The Divine Phoenix explained.

When he heard the Divine Phoenix's words, the eyes of the man in black armor were immediately veiled with immense disappointment.

In that case, even if the Mirror of Illusions fell into his hands, it would be completely useless.

\"The bloodline of the phoenix can use it…\"

Amongst the group, a delicate-looking girl looked thoughtful. A hot luster shone in her eyes. But the luster quickly vanished, and she returned to normal.

\"Although some of the Dharma treasures here cannot compare to the Mirror of Illusions, they are not very different in terms of grade.\" The Divine Phoenix spoke again.

When he heard that, the man in black armor cheered up and went to select another Dharma treasure.

The others had personally witnessed the power of the Mirror of Illusions, and their thoughts had also changed.

The inheritance of the Divine Phoenix might be good.

But ultimately, only one person could obtain it. None of them could be sure that they would be the lucky one.

If they stood firm and did not obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, they might also not be destined to have these Dharma treasures.

After weighing the pros and cons, almost everyone chose to select a Dharma treasure that they were certain to get.

After all, the value of these Dharma treasures was already sufficient for them. They did not have to fight to the end for the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.

As the saying goes…

A bird in hand was better than two in the bush.

As everyone was choosing their Dharma treasure, there were two figures that did not move.

\"Are the two of you intending to forgo these Dharma treasures?\"

The Divine Phoenix looked at Ye Qingtang and a girl in green, who had not chosen a Dharma treasure.

At that moment, only the two of them had not moved.

\"Lord Divine Phoenix, I wish to try for the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix,\" the girl in green said.

\"Me too.\" Ye Qingtang replied.

Ling Yan had told her that the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix would surely be hers. For some reason, to date, Ye Qingtang had great faith in Ling Yan's judgment and did not doubt it in the least.

Otherwise, Ye Qingtang would certainly have taken the Mirror of Illusions and left.

Since Ling Yan had personally said it, Ye Qingtang would believe him this time.

The Divine Phoenix nodded after obtaining Ye Qingtang and the girl in green's responses.

The Divine Phoenix looked at Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the other ten over people and said, \"These Dharma treasures are part of the inheritance. Since you have obtained these Dharma treasures, it is equivalent to obtaining part of the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix. However, there is a condition.\"

\"What condition is it?\" Absolute Monarch of Heaven asked.

\"In the future, you cannot be at odds with the Divine Phoenix's successor. As far as possible, you must help and assist the Divine Phoenix,\" the Divine Phoenix said.

\"I see. I agree.\" Absolute Monarch of Heaven thought for a while and agreed readily.

The Divine Phoenix was probably doing this to pave the way for the only person who obtained the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.

930 Inheritance Of The Bloodline 1

Once they took the Dharma treasures here, in the future, they could not oppose the successor of the Divine Phoenix and also needed to give a certain amount of help.

No wonder the Divine Phoenix was so generous.

In order to obtain these treasures, everyone had no choice but to agree.

The successor of the Divine Phoenix would certainly be either Ye Qingtang or the girl in green. As there was no enmity between them and Ye Qingtang or the girl in green, of course, they would not oppose them in the future. They also had no problem helping them as much as possible. This was nothing compared to the Dharma treasures.

\"Lord Divine Phoenix, in the future, if the successor of the Divine Phoenix needs any help, I will do my best,\" said the old man in black, who had obtained the Herb of Heavenly Life, as he went forward.

\"So will I.\"

\"No problem at all. In the future, all of us can be considered as kin to the Divine Phoenix. It is natural that we should help each other!\"

The ten plus cultivators spoke readily.

\"Mere words are not enough. You must sign the Heavenly Dao Blood Pact,\" said the Divine Phoenix.

The ten over cultivators had no choice but to sign the Heavenly Dao Blood Pact with the Divine Phoenix. In the future, they must not oppose the successor of the Divine Phoenix and needed to provide as much help as they could. If they failed to do so, they would suffer the effects of the Heavenly Dao Blood Pact!

\"Very well. Now that you have obtained part of my inheritance, you are considered my disciples. I hope we will be destined to meet again.\" The Divine Phoenix was relieved. With that, the bodies of the ten plus people slowly vanished as they were sent out by the Divine Phoenix.

At that moment, only Ye Qingtang and the girl in green were left in the palace.

\"The inheritance of the Divine Phoenix will emerge among the two of you,\" said the Divine Phoenix.

When they heard that, Ye Qingtang nodded, but the girl in green expressed her thanks.

\"I will test your martial talent, spirit root, and bloodlines.\"

As the Divine Phoenix spoke, it moved over to the girl in green.

A scarlet glow shrouded in the girl in green.

\"Top martial talents… blue spirit root among the red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple of the mortal world…\"

Shrouded by the scarlet glow, the girl in green's talent and spirit root were completely exposed.

\"Blue spirit root…\"

Ye Qingtang was thoughtful. This was no ordinary girl.

One must know that a blue spirit root had not appeared for many years in this mainland.

At that time, Ye Qingtang's spirit root was already considered extremely rare in this mainland.

And it was only a green spirit root.

But the girl in front of her was actually a blue spirit root.

However, before Ye Qingtang had time to think further, an image of the Divine Phoenix emerged from the girl in green's body.

\"Phoenix bloodline?!\"

When it saw the girl's phoenix bloodline, the Divine Phoenix's eyes showed a trace of surprise that quickly transformed into joy.

If the successor of the Divine Phoenix had the phoenix bloodline, that would be even better!

\"Phoenix bloodline?!\" Ye Qingtang was stunned. She had not thought that this girl in green would possess the phoenix bloodline…

\"Ling Yan, your calculations had better be correct…\" At that moment, Ye Qingtang felt a little worried.

This girl in green had not behaved unusually and had not attracted anyone's attention. Who would have thought… she would be so extraordinary?

\"Very good.\" After a long time, the Divine Phoenix nodded at the girl in green. It was extremely satisfied with the girl in green's condition. The inheritance of the Divine Phoenix seemed to be tailor-made for her.

\"Lord Divine Phoenix, since that is the case, is it still necessary to continue?\" The girl in green was not at all surprised by the outcome. Her delicate-looking face was filled with self-confidence. She glanced at Ye Qingtang out of the corner of her eye.

931 Inheritance Of The Bloodline 2

\"Of course, we must continue. It's the rule,\" replied the Divine Phoenix.

A scarlet gleam immediately shrouded Ye Qingtang.

\"Superior martial talent, yellow spirit root among the red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple of the mortal world.\" The Divine Phoenix muttered in disappointment.

The truth was that no matter what kind of spirit root Ye Qingtang had, it was not important to the Divine Phoenix. Even if the girl in green had a red spirit root, she still had the phoenix bloodline.

Ye Qingtang saw that if matters continued in this vein, she would not be destined to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix. With a flash of light, a golden image of a phoenix emerged behind Ye Qingtang, and the call of the phoenix rang out from her mouth.

The next moment, golden flames erupted from Ye Qingtang's body.

At that moment, Ye Qingtang's entire body was covered in flames. Added to the image of the phoenix behind her, her entire person looked like a Divine Phoenix undergoing the Rise of the Phoenix.

This scene caused the Divine Phoenix's expression to change. \"Ultimate Origin Skill… Rise of the Phoenix…\"

When the girl in green saw the golden image of a phoenix behind Ye Qingtang, she wrinkled her elegant brows slightly.

The Ultimate Origin Skill was derived from Paragon Skills. Although it was not part of the phoenix bloodline, to be able to understand the Paragon Skill related to the phoenix meant that the person had a close connection with the phoenix. Her Paragon Skill was already so formidable; what's more, it was her Ultimate Origin Skill.

Legend had it that before the world was created, a true god existed in the universe. After the world appeared, the true god fell, and every true god was subject to rebirth, and they were reborn as humans.

According to legends, once any cultivator understood the Paragon Skill, it was as if his body remembered the genetic composition of the true god and longed to return to its shrine.

Those who understood Ultimate Origin Skill were even more powerful.

In other words, this girl who had understood the Ultimate Origin Skill, Rise of the Phoenix, was even more suited to the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix then the girl in green with the phoenix bloodline.

\"Yes, not bad.\" The Divine Phoenix withdrew the scarlet glow and said to Ye Qingtang.

\"If I may ask the Lord Divine Phoenix, which of us is more suitable to be your successor?\" The girl in green asked.

\"Although you are very suitable, unfortunately, she is even more suitable,\" said the Divine Phoenix.

\"What?!\"

When she heard the Divine Phoenix's reply, the smile was wiped off the girl in green's face.

The girl in green had not expected the Divine Phoenix to respond like that.

The truth was that the girl in green was from a mutated demonic bloodline which could absorb the power of all the bloodlines in the world.

Half a year ago, she had killed a girl who had the phoenix bloodline, then used her own mutated demonic bloodline to swallow her opponent's phoenix bloodline, and transformed it into a part of herself.

This time, she had relied on her possessing the phoenix bloodline and was certain that she could obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.

That was why she had not wavered at all when faced with the Dharma treasures earlier.

Yet, who would have thought… this would be the outcome!

\"Is that so…\" The girl in green's icy cold look fell on Ye Qingtang. \"Then I must congratulate you.\"

Ye Qingtang frowned slightly when she sensed the cold gleam that shimmered in the eyes of the girl in green.

This girl, who peak martial talents, a blue spirit root, and phoenix bloodline, gave one a sense of inscrutable power. She could also tell that after the Divine Phoenix chose her as its successor, the girl in green would be very hostile towards her.

\"Go back.\"

Without giving Ye Qingtang an opportunity to speak, the Divine Phoenix issued a command, and the girl in green's body turned transparent before being she was sent out.

932 Inheritance Of The Bloodline 3

Now, only Ye Qingtang and the Divine Phoenix were left in the empty palace.

\"You have Ultimate Origin Skill and are related to the phoenix. You are best suited to be my successor and follow in my footsteps,\" said the Divine Phoenix.

\"Thank you, Lord Divine Phoenix.\" Ye Qingtang thanked the Divine Phoenix and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Ling Yan's judgment was truly startling in its accuracy.

\"I will also give you the Mirror of Illusions.\"

With that, the Mirror of Illusions that had been abandoned by the others drifted by itself to Ye Qingtang's hand.

Ye Qingtang's eyes brightened slightly. She had thought that after she had chosen the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, she was no longer destined to have the Mirror of Illusions. Who knew…

Ye Qingtang immediately accepted the Mirror of Illusions. She was extremely grateful to the Divine Phoenix.

\"Come with me,\" said the Divine Phoenix.

…

After a short while, Ye Qingtang had followed the Divine Phoenix into the depths of the palace.

In front of them was a gigantic skeleton which gave off an indescribable, terrible majesty.

This skeleton had died many moons ago. Even so, the moment one went near, its terrible power burst forth. The powerful majesty transformed into a frightening might that seemed to shroud the entire world.

\"This is…\"

Ye Qingtang looked at the Divine Phoenix in shock.

\"As you can see, these are my bones,\" said the Divine Phoenix.

The Divine Phoenix had died millions of years ago. The scarlet image today was just a remnant of its Divine Sense.

\"I see.\"

Ye Qingtang studied the skeleton with a shocked expression. In her two lives, this was the first time she was seeing the existence of such a frightening thing.

This must be a mature Fiendcelestial Beast at the initial grade. It contained more power than even Ye Qingtang could imagine. Even after the little white tiger reached maturity, it would not be as powerful!

\"Greetings, Senior!\"

Little white tiger suddenly popped its head out of Ye Qingtang's arms and spoke to the scarlet image.

\"Oh…\"

The Divine Phoenix studied little white tiger and said thoughtfully, \"Are you from the White Tiger Clan of the four Fiendcelestial Beasts?\"

\"Yes, Senior Divine Phoenix.\" Little white tiger nodded obediently.

When the Divine Phoenix was nearing the peak of its initial grade, little white tiger's father had probably not been born.

\"Yes, not bad. You are unusual to be able to tame a young Fiendcelestial Beast from the White Tiger Clan.\" The Divine Phoenix looked at Ye Qingtang and spoke in relief.

\"Kneel.\" The Divine Phoenix suddenly spoke, without waiting for Ye Qingtang to reply.

When she heard that, Ye Qingtang knelt without hesitation and bowed to the Divine Phoenix.

\"From now on, you are my successor. In the future, if you meet the Divine Phoenix Clan, you must treat them well. Do you understand?\" asked the Divine Phoenix.

\"I understand!\" said Ye Qingtang.

\"Very well, arise,\" said the Divine Phoenix.

With that, Ye Qingtang rose slowly.

\"Leave us for a while. I have something I need to say to her,\" said the Divine Phoenix as it looked at the little white tiger in Ye Qingtang's arms.

\"Yes, Senior.\" Little white tiger jumped from Ye Qingtang's arms to the ground. It also dragged out the little lightning dragon and vanished without a trace.

\"What is your name?\" The Divine Phoenix looked at Ye Qingtang.

\"My surname is Ye, my name is Qingtang.\" Ye Qingtang answered truthfully.

\"Qingtang, you are my successor. I will transfer the true bloodline of the Divine Phoenix to you.\" As the Divine Phoenix spoke, the scarlet glow transformed into a scarlet roaring flame that immediately engulfed Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang was not harmed by this indescribable flame. Instead, the golden flame in her body seemed to resonate with it and leaped forth.

933 Inheritance Of The Bloodline 4

At that moment, it was as if Ye Qingtang was wrapped in a small sun. Her entire body radiated with a startling glow.

\"This is the purest power of my inheritance. You will need time to break it down and integrate it. You cannot leave until you have absorbed the entire power of the inheritance,\" said the Divine Phoenix as it looked at Ye Qingtang.

When she heard that, Ye Qingtang nodded slightly. However, she could help but be shocked. The power of the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix was so great that it was frightening.

\"Having obtained my inheritance, I hope that you will agree to a condition.\" The Divine Phoenix thought for a long time before it spoke.

\"Condition?\" Ye Qingtang was slightly taken aback by the Divine Phoenix's words but immediately asked, \"What does the Lord Divine Phoenix require of me?\"

\"My clan.\" The Divine Phoenix finally spoke after a long pause.

\"The Phoenix Clan of the four Fiendcelestial Beasts…\" Ye Qingtang looked thoughtful.

\"That's right, the Phoenix Clan.\" The Divine Phoenix nodded. \"I died too long ago. Today, only a trace of my remaining spirit is speaking to you. However, when I was dying, I could sense that something changed in my clan. Their aura dissipated slowly, as if they were under some kind of indescribable oppression.\"

\"Oppression?!\"

Ye Qingtang looked shocked and was even a little disbelieving.

As one of the four Fiendcelestial Beasts, the Phoenix Clan was incredibly powerful. They did not lack mature phoenixes. Even those of the initial grade would still exist within the clan. Who in this world could oppress the Phoenix Clan?!

Even the legendary true god would not be able to easily achieve that…

Ye Qingtang suddenly remembered that it was not just the Phoenix Clan. She had heard little white tiger mention that its clan and parents, the White Tiger Clan, were also one of the four Fiendcelestial Beasts. However, from the bits and pieces that little white tiger had told her, Ye Qingtang had discerned that the White Tiger Clan seemed to have encountered some kind of startling change.

Now, Ye Qingtang heard from the Divine Phoenix that the Phoenix Clan might have encountered some kind of oppression. Further, the Phoenix Clan and the White Tiger Clan both belonged to the four Fiendcelestial Beasts. Perhaps there was some kind of connection between the two of them?

\"Lord Divine Phoenix, I will do my best to investigate and find out the truth.\" Ye Qingtang spoke after a long pause.

\"No need to force the matter. Your life is more important,\" said the Divine Phoenix.

To repress the Phoenix Clan of the four Fiendcelestial Beasts, the entity must possess supernatural martial power. It was a pity that the Divine Phoenix had died millions of years ago and was unable to leave this place to return to the habitat of the Phoenix Clan. It was also unsure what had actually happened to the Phoenix Clan.

\"I will remember,\" promised Ye Qingtang.

\"In the future, when you have grown, you must remember where your inheritance is from. You must do your utmost to help me find out the truth. After that, return here and tell me the truth,\" said the Divine Phoenix.

\"Lord Divine Phoenix, please don't worry. I understand.\" Ye Qingtang nodded.

Ye Qingtang was very respectful of the Divine Phoenix.

Even though it had died millions of years, it still had a deep longing for the Phoenix Clan. In this world, few could do as the Divine Phoenix had done.

To Ye Qingtang, whether it was the Phoenix Clan or the White Tiger Clan, they all held special meaning in her heart.

934 The Heart of the Heavenly Dao 1

In both lifetimes, Ye Qingtang never thought that she would have any connection to a Fiendcelestial Beast.

However, after her rebirth, she first became linked to the little white tiger and then obtained the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix to become the only descendant of the Divine Phoenix.

It seemed that she had an unknown fate with Fiendcelestial Beasts in this life.

In the Divine Phoenix's warm envelopment, about half a month had slipped by unconsciously.

During this period of time, the blood in Ye Qingtang's body seemed to be cleansed over and over again. Currently, her blood had turned into scorching flames of which the divine might was unstoppable.

\"The original Divine Phoenix bloodline…\" At this moment, Ye Qingtang's eyes were burning.

Bloodlines were divided into ranks as well. For the Phoenix bloodline, there had been too many renewals of bloodline since the primordial era, but the purest form was the original bloodline.

Ye Qingtang's bloodline was personally imparted by the Divine Phoenix and was the purest form. In the case of the girl in green from before, although she also had the Phoenix bloodline, it was not as pure as Ye Qingtang's original Phoenix bloodline. The difference and hierarchy between both bloodlines was like that of a monarch and a subject.

\"Qingtang, how is your current cultivation base after absorbing a large amount of the power of the bloodline?\" The Divine Phoenix asked some time later.

Ye Qingtang hurriedly replied. \"Lord Divine Phoenix, I have already advanced from Yin Yang Third Heaven to Fifth Heaven.\"

\"Fifth Heaven…\"

Hearing that Ye Qingtang only entered the Fifth Heaven, the Divine Phoenix was taken aback.

According to logic, even if the person was an extremely ordinary person without any martial skills, their martial cultivation would at least enter the Arcane Supremacy realm after obtaining its inheritance.

Ye Qingtang was already at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven realm before this, yet she only advanced two small realms after inheriting large amounts of the power of its bloodline?

\"Lord Divine Phoenix… Did something happen?\" Ye Qingtang's heart skipped a beat when she heard the odd tone in the Divine Phoenix's voice.

\"Mhm. Don't panic first. I'll take a look after you have completely combined and absorbed the bloodline inheritance,\" said the Divine Phoenix.

Since the Divine Phoenix said that, Ye Qingtang did not say anything and could only continue to wait.

The burning sensation which enveloped Ye Qingtang was like the rays of a mini-sun that dimmed over time. Another half a month later, all of the flames were completely absorbed by Ye Qingtang.

\"What is your cultivation realm now?\"

The Divine Phoenix opened its eyes and looked at Ye Qingtang, who had finished absorbing all of the powers of its bloodline.

\"Lord Divine Phoenix, I am currently in the Yang Lord realm… and at the peak of the Seventh Heaven.\" Ye Qingtang answered.

\"Peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven… You haven't reached the Eighth Heaven… What exactly is going on…\" The Divine Phoenix's tone was extremely strange.

The Divine Phoenix was immensely confident in its bloodline inheritance. According to logic, after absorbing its bloodline inheritance completely, Ye Qingtang should at least be able to advance to the Divine Arcane Supremacy realm and even be at the Heavenly Venerate realm.

Even those ordinary humans without any martial cultivation should be able to enter the Divine Arcane Supremacy realm after obtaining its inheritance. Yet Ye Qingtang, who possessed a high martial gift and the blessing of the Ultimate Origin Skill, Rise of the Phoenix, only advanced four small realms. How could this be possible?!

\"That's not right. What exactly went wrong?\" The Divine Phoenix mumbled as it pondered deeply.

A while later, the Divine Phoenix finally looked at Ye Qingtang and said, \"I need to look at your body again.\"

935 The Heart of the Heavenly Dao 2

Ye Qingtang was extremely cooperative and nodded her head in agreement with the Divine Phoenix's request.

Very quickly, a scarlet glow enveloped Ye Qingtang once again.

"Superior martial gift that is close to top-notch quality… Possession of the Ultimate Origin Skill, Rise of the Phoenix… There is nothing wrong with this. But what exactly is the problem?" The Divine Phoenix could not find an answer no matter how hard it pondered; it was as though the majority of the powers of its inheritance disappeared somewhere.

Very quickly, the scarlet glow intensified, and the Divine Phoenix scanned every area of Ye Qingtang's body.

"Your bloodline…" A long time later, the Divine Phoenix mumbled with a little surprise.

Apart from its bloodline, the power of a primitive bloodline was actually hidden in Ye Qingtang's body.

This bloodline had yet to be truly activated, but it was terrifyingly powerful.

"Is this actually the Immortal and Buddha bloodline…"

The Divine Phoenix seemed to be in deep thought before it looked at Ye Qingtang. "Have you ever been to the Fourth Domain?"

"The Fourth Domain?" Ye Qingtang shook her head in reply. "Lord Divine Phoenix, I have never been to the Fourth Domain."

"Do you know that your body has the Immortal and Buddha bloodline?" The Divine Phoenix asked.

"Immortal and Buddha bloodline?" Ye Qingtang was slightly startled. Why would there be the Immortal and Buddha bloodline in her body?!

"The Immortal and Buddha bloodline is passed down by generations. Unless the person was a descendant of an Immortal and Buddha, it is impossible for anyone to obtain the Immortal and Buddha bloodline through any means. Since you have never been to the Fourth Domain, it should be that either your father or mother possesses the bloodline. After giving birth to you, the bloodline was inherited, and you naturally have this type of bloodline as well." The Divine Phoenix explained.

"My parents…" Ye Qingtang's brows were slightly furrowed. She had already investigated in Nine Nights Dynasty, and all the evidence pointed to the fact that her mother once appeared on this mainland.

Moreover, it was extremely likely that her mother was in the Central Mainland or was just a citizen of the Central Mainland.

Yet, presently, the Divine Phoenix personally told her that either her father or mother possessed the Immortal and Buddha bloodline…

"The power of this bloodline is extremely powerful, but it is still inactive. However, the Immortal and Buddha bloodline is about opportunity. Perhaps, it wouldn't be able to activate in this lifetime. You don't need to think too much about it." The Divine Phoenix added.

"I understand," said Ye Qingtang.

"However…" The Divine Phoenix paused and continued. "Even if you have the Immortal and Buddha bloodline, what has it got to do with the disappearance of most of the bloodline power that I inherited to you…"

Without giving Ye Qingtang a chance to speak, the Divine Phoenix continued to study Ye Qingtang's body constitution.

About ten breaths later, the Divine Phoenix finally looked at Ye Qingtang's heart.

"How… can this be…"

After it inspected Ye Qingtang's heart for a long time, the Divine Phoenix's expression changed suddenly.

"Lord Divine Phoenix, may I know what happened?" Ye Qingtang asked hurriedly.

"Does your heart belong to you?" The Divine Phoenix asked sternly.

Seeing that the Divine Phoenix was so solemn, Ye Qingtang hesitated for a moment but finally told the truth. "Lord Divine Phoenix, this heart is indeed not mine…"

"Where is it from!" The Divine Phoenix asked again.

"The Heart of the Demon God… is from the Demon God…" Helpless, Ye Qingtang could only confess everything.

"Impossible! How is that the Heart of the Demon God in your body!" The Divine Phoenix exclaimed particularly solemnly. "This is clearly the Heart of the Heavenly Dao! What has it got to do with the so-called Demon God?"

"Heart of the Heavenly Dao?!"

In both lives, it was the first time Ye Qingtang heard about this supposed Heart of the Heavenly Dao.

What was the Heart of the Heavenly Dao? It was clearly the Heart of the Demon God in her body, but why did it become the Heart of the Heavenly Dao—something she had never heard before—when said by the Divine Phoenix?

"Qingtang, where did you get this heart from?" The Divine Phoenix looked at Ye Qingtang and questioned.

"Uh…" Confusion filled Ye Qingtang's face.

Even Ye Qingtang, herself, did not know where exactly the Heart of the Demon God in her body came from. It was as though the Heart of the Demon God was stored in her body when she woke up from sleep.

Seeing that Ye Qingtang was unaware as well, the Divine Phoenix's expression turned solemn. "Qingtang, most of the inheritance's ability which I passed to you was absorbed by this heart in your body. What you obtained is only an extremely tiny portion. However, it is fortunate that the bloodline is combined rather completely."

Ye Qingtang was slightly startled and in disbelief when she heard the Divine Phoenix.

The Heart of the Demon God in her body was not the Heart of the Demon God but the Heart of the Heavenly Dao. Furthermore, this heart even devoured the power of the inheritance which the Divine Phoenix gave her?

Ye Qingtang's mind was a little confused for a moment; she truly did not know what exactly happened.

The Heart of the Demon God which she had always believed to be, was actually completely unrelated to the Demon God…

"Immortal and Buddha bloodline… Heart of the Heavenly Dao… I see why." A long time later, the scarlet glow on Ye Qingtang's body was collected back by the Divine Phoenix.

"Lord Divine Phoenix, please resolve my doubts. What exactly is going on with the Heart of the Heavenly Dao…" Ye Qingtang looked at the Divine Phoenix with desperation to find all her answers.

"The Heart of the Heavenly Dao belongs to the Heavenly Dao. Only the powers of the Heavenly Dao can condense and nurture it. However, you are merely a mortal, but the Heart of the Heavenly Dao is in your body. This is sufficient to show that you became a vessel…" The Divine Phoenix stared at Ye Qingtang meaningfully.

"Vessel?"

Ye Qingtang frowned as she listened to the Divine Phoenix's explanation.

"I have already died for millions of years and am completely unaware of what is happening outside right now. This is merely my conjecture… Actually, it is difficult for an ordinary person to nurture the Heart of the Heavenly Dao. It is just that you happen to possess the Immortal and Buddha bloodline in your body, which coincidentally contains a trace of the power of the Great Dao. Hence, the Heart of the Heavenly Dao remained in your body for a long time. I don't know why you have the Heart of the Heavenly Dao, but it is definitely not a good thing to have it in your body," the Divine Phoenix said with a sigh.

Ye Qingtang did not have anything to retort the Divine Phoenix. Indeed, this heart brought her too many disasters.

Everyone thought that the heart in her body was the Heart of the Demon God and vied for it one after another, resulting in Ye Qingtang's eventual death in her previous life.

Even Ye Qingtang, herself, never doubted the authenticity of the Heart of the Demon God. If she did not hear it from the Divine Phoenix, she probably would never doubt this heart.

"Qingtang, this Heart of the Heavenly Dao will devour your cultivation endlessly. If you didn't have this heart, you would probably already be a Yang Lord of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm and not a mere Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven realm. With the addition of the power of my inheritance, you would already have advanced to a Heavenly Venerate." Pity was evident in the Divine Phoenix's voice.

"Lord Divine Phoenix, may I ask if there's any way to take this heart out?" Ye Qingtang looked at the Divine Phoenix and asked with a frown.

"How long has this heart been in your body? If it's less than a month, perhaps there's still a chance for remedy," the Divine Phoenix said.

"It has long been over a month…" Ye Qingtang replied.

"There's no way then." The Divine Phoenix sighed. "This Heart of the Heavenly Dao has been in your body for a long time, and there would be dire consequences once it is taken out."

"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise. Qingtang, you don't need to be too worried. No one is able to determine whether it is a blessing or a disguise. Although this heart may bring you endless calamities, if you make use of it appropriately, perhaps you can reprieve from death. You must remember never to believe the Heart of the Heavenly Dao of yours. Otherwise, you will definitely be struck with a death calamity and cease to exist." The Divine Phoenix advised earnestly in a grave tone.

"Thank you for the advice, Lord Divine Phoenix. I will engrave this in my heart." Ye Qingtang thanked the Divine Phoenix.

Currently, Ye Qingtang only wished to know what exactly was it with this so-called Heart of the Heavenly Dao in her body. How did it enter her body? Who did it belong to? Why did she become a vessel for it? What kind of presence was the mastermind who used her to nurture this heart?

"Qingtang, my last remaining power is already fully depleted… I hope that you can remember that you are the successor of the Divine Phoenix. When you meet any difficulties, don't retreat and brave it head-on." The Divine Phoenix's voice suddenly weakened at that instant.

The Divine Phoenix had already died millions of years ago, and this last trace of spirit was just to search for the only successor.

Now, the Divine Phoenix had already fulfilled its wishes, and there was no regret to be spoken of.

"Lord Divine Phoenix…"

For some reason, dejection arose within Ye Qingtang as she looked at the Divine Phoenix which was about to vanish.

Immediately, Ye Qingtang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Divine Phoenix. "Thank you, Lord Divine Phoenix… I will never forget that I am the successor of the Divine Phoenix."

"Good…" The Divine Phoenix was gratified. "In my last moment, let me give you a final present."

As it spoke, a scarlet glow suddenly surged out and penetrated into Ye Qingtang's body.

This scarlet glow instantly wrapped Ye Qingtang's Heart of the Heavenly Dao and an extremely powerful force sealed the Heart of the Heavenly Dao utterly.

"Lord Divine Phoenix…"

Ye Qingtang gazed at the Divine Phoenix. Even at its very last moment, its last trace of spirit was still thinking about her.

"Ah… What a pity… My powers have long been depleted over the years. Otherwise, I may be able to help you with the Heart of the Heavenly Dao… Qingtang, remember: this heart is temporarily sealed by me, but it will not persist for long. During this period of time, it will be unable to continue devouring your cultivation, and you can strengthen yourself to become even more formidable."

As the Divine Phoenix finished its sentence, the scarlet figure in the air dimmed increasingly and eventually turned into invisible energy that lingered within the palace.

"Lord Divine Phoenix…"

Seeing that the Divine Phoenix had disappeared completely, Ye Qingtang had a complicated expression.

However, Ye Qingtang realized that although the Divine Phoenix's last trace of spirit had vanished, its energy was shackled in this palace.

"If… I could obtain the Spirit Condensation Pearl…"

Ye Qingtang mumbled in thought.

Before Ye Qingtang could think deeply about the idea, it was as though Heaven and Earth reversed.

It seemed like the blink of an eye yet also as long as an entire century.

When Ye Qingtang opened her eyes once again, she was already outside the palace and that palace was nowhere to be found as if it was hidden by an enormous power.

Ye Qingtang, who obtained the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, was finally sent out.

938 Devouring Bloodline 1

However, shortly after Ye Qingtang left the palace, the girl in green slowly emerged from behind a huge tree.

It was the same girl one who had passed to the last stage of the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix with Ye Qingtang.

The girl had been confident that she would win when the Divine Phoenix had passed over her at the last moment.

Instead, it was Ye Qingtang who obtained the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix.

At that moment, the girl in green was looking at Ye Qingtang with ice-cold eyes. She had clearly been waiting for a long time.

The girl in green slowly walked towards Ye Qingtang.

"You have finally come out. I have been waiting here for a long time." The girl in green glared at Ye Qingtang and spoke coldly. Her eyes were filled with intense coldness.

"Oh?" Ye Qingtang stared at the girl in green and said calmly, "I have no dealings with you and don't know you. Why are you waiting here for me?"

"Nothing much. I just wanted to congratulate you," said the girl in green.

"Congratulate me?" The corners of the Ye Qingtang's mouth curved slightly, and she laughed coldly. "Thanks."

"However," said the girl in green, as she suddenly narrowed her eyes. Her tone also changed. "Good things should be shared. The inheritance of the Divine Phoenix is the power of the original Phoenix Bloodline and is very pure. Can you share some of it with me? Otherwise, with your spirit root and ability, possessing such a pure and powerful bloodline will only endanger your life and bring calamity."

The girl in green gave Ye Qingtang a disdainful look.

A mere yellow spirit root…

"What you mean is… that you intend to seize the power of my bloodline." Ye Qingtang laughed coldly as she looked at the girl in green.

But Ye Qingtang was curious. The power of a bloodline was integrated with one's body. Unlike a spirit root, which had a physical body, and hence could be dug out from the body, it was impossible to seize the power of a bloodline.

However, the girl in green seemed to be planning to seize her Phoenix Bloodline. How was she going to do that?

"Ah…" The girl in green laughed coldly. Her proud glance passed over Ye Qingtang, and her expression clearly showed her disdain. "I am not seizing; I am merely taking back. Only someone powerful can control and possess a powerful bloodline. It is not something that belongs to a weakling like you."

As she spoke, the girl's frightening aura instantly diffused and spread out in a 10-meter-wide circle that enclosed Ye Qingtang.

"Divine Arcane Supremacy…"

Ye Qingtang's eyes narrowed when she sensed the girl in green's martial aura.

The girl in green was worthy of having peak martial talents and a blue spirit root. To have achieved this grade at her age, it was no exaggeration to say that she was a genius.

If not for an accidental abortion of her plan, in the future, the girl in green would become a powerful cultivator of at least the Holy Venerate level, or perhaps even an Emperor-level supreme chief, which was above the level of Holy Venerate.

It was just that although the girl in green had reached the stage of Divine Arcane Supremacy, in this mainland where spirit energy was scarce, the girl in green's martial abilities and cultivation were repressed to the level of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven.

Ye Qingtang had just obtained the bloodline passed to her by the Divine Phoenix and also possessed the Mirror of Illusions. Her own martial abilities had reached the stage of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven, so she had no reason to fear the girl in green.

"You think you can beat me?" The eyes of the girl in green were cold and remote. "Do you think that you have nothing to fear because you have obtained the inheritance of the original phoenix?"

939 Devouring Bloodline 2

Before Ye Qingtang could speak, a voice suddenly rang out in her mind.

"Miss Ye, this girl has a mutated demonic bloodline, which has evolved into the Devouring Bloodline. She can devour the power of all the bloodlines in the world. She is looking for an opportunity to devour your bloodline. Remember."

"Ling Yan…"

Ye Qingtang frowned slightly. It was indeed Ling Yan's voice.

However, it was a voice that Ling Yan had sealed a long time ago with the power of karma.

This meant that Ling Yan had known long ago that she would meet this girl in green and that this situation would develop…

Ling Yan's schemes aside, Ye Qingtang was shocked by the girl in green's Devouring Bloodline.

The Devouring Bloodline was also called the Taboo Bloodline. Since the time of the gods and sages, it was an invincible bloodline that had been cursed.

This was not to say that the Devouring Bloodline itself was particularly strong. However, the Devouring Bloodline could devour all the bloodlines in the world. Even a god's bloodline could be easily devoured and converted for one's own use.

Furthermore, it was already very difficult for most ordinary cultivators to possess the power of one bloodline. But the Devouring Bloodline was different. It could devour millions of bloodlines and integrate them into one body. Having the Devouring Bloodline was equivalent to possessing the power of all the bloodlines in the world.

It could be said that whoever possessed the Devouring Bloodline could devour any bloodline in the world.

There were many kinds of bloodlines in the world, each with a different effect. But all of them could give its possessor huge strength.

The Devouring Bloodline that could devour all bloodlines was so powerful and dangerous that it was terrifying.

However, the Devouring Bloodline was very rare. Even in primordial times, it had only appeared transiently.

"What's the matter? Are you scared now?" The girl in green was looking at Ye Qingtang with a calm and icy expression. She continued to press towards Ye Qingtang at a moderate pace.

Ye Qingtang ignored the girl. She was still pondering the meaning of Ling Yan's words.

The meaning of the voice that Ling Yan had sealed was amply clear: she should allow the girl in green to devour the power of her bloodline.

However, Ye Qingtang was unable to comprehend Ling Yan's line of thought.

Why should the power of her bloodline be devoured by the girl in green?

"Could it be that the Immortal and Buddha Bloodline…"

Ye Qingtang suddenly frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something.

Besides the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix's inheritance, an Immortal and Buddha Bloodline existed in her body. Based on what the Divine Phoenix had said, the Heart of the Heavenly Dao could be nurtured in her body because of the immense power of the Immortal and Buddha Bloodline…

However, the girl in green possessed the Devouring Bloodline and could devour all the bloodlines in the world. This meant that her Immortal and Buddha Bloodline would also be devoured by her.

In that case, after the Immortal and Buddha Bloodline in her body had been devoured, perhaps the Heart of the Heavenly Dao would also vanish… or perhaps, the girl who had devoured her Immortal and Buddha Bloodline would become the new vessel…

More and more clues and guesses continued to churn in Ye Qingtang's mind.

At that moment, Ye Qingtang was unable to ascertain whether her guess was correct.

However, Ye Qingtang did not have time to think any further. The girl in green's toes lightly pushed off from the ground, and she leaped over to Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang immediately pushed her bewilderment aside and drew her Regicide Sky blade. With a flick of her wrist, her sword instantly swept downward towards the girl in green.

Swoosh!

940 Devouring Bloodline 3

A piercing sound filled the space. This area seemed to lie prostrate and tremble under the sword. The scarlet sword gleam filled the air, destroying everything in its path and cutting a wide swath.

However, just as Ye Qingtang drew the Regicide Sky Blade, the girl vanished completely. It was as if she had melted into the air, and she was nowhere to be found.

Boom, boom, boom!!

The next moment, a thunderous crash rang out. The scarlet sword gleam had smashed a mountain peak a thousand meters away, pulverizing it. The gravel fell to the ground like rain.

"You're pretty powerful."

The girl suddenly tore through space, and she walked out from an unknown space.

"Space-transfer?!"

Ye Qingtang was stunned when she saw the girl tear space and walk out from it.

This girl's skills were truly frightening…

Even an Emperor-level cultivator could not compare with this girl's understanding and ability to manipulate space!

If not for the fact that they were currently in this mainland were spirit energy was scarce, who knew how terrifying her real ability would be?

However, before Ye Qingtang could recover her senses, the girl's right palm lightly touched Ye Qingtang's left shoulder.

She said coldly, "Actually, the Divine Phoenix got some things wrong. The Divine Phoenix ascertained that my spirit root was blue. However, I have no spirit root. The blue spirit root was merely an illusion that I created. I could have even created a purple spirit root."

The instant the girl in green finished speaking, a purple spirit root exploded within her body. The terrifying power of her spirit root seemed to rend both heaven and earth. All things prostrated themselves and trembled.

This girl… can actually create an illusion of a spirit root?!

Ye Qingtang was shocked. In her previous life, Ye Qingtang had been robbed of her spirit root, so her body had no spirit root.

She had sought ways to create an illusion of a spirit root, but all these methods could at most create an illusion of the lowest level red spirit root.

But this girl in green could even create an illusion of a purple spirit root!

In addition, based on what Ye Qingtang knew about the ability to create an illusion of a spirit root, one could only create an illusion of its form. There was no way to create an illusion of the true power of a spirit root.

But this girl was different!

With such shocking skills, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand Ye You's was no match for her.

"That's not right. In this world, only a reincarnated true god can create an illusion of a spirit root…" Ye Qingtang suddenly realized that something was amiss, and she frowned as she spoke.

"Oh… you do have some knowledge. Have you found me out?" The girl in green's lips curved upwards slightly, and she suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"You are a reincarnation of a true god…" Ye Qingtang stared at the girl in green.

The so-called reincarnation of a true god occurred when a true god died and was reborn as a human. Only when its god-like powers were awakened could it be called a reincarnation of a true god.

And only a reincarnation of a true god could easily create the illusion of any spirit root!

The girl in green did not respond to Ye Qingtang. She only said coldly, "I am pleased to accept the bloodline of the original Divine Phoenix."

As the girl spoke, Ye Qingtang felt the bloodline within her body boiling. It was as if even her soul was being sucked out of her body.

"Not bad. The bloodline of the original Divine Phoenix is truly powerful. I am satisfied," the girl in green said coldly.

"Ling Yan, what do you mean by allowing this person to devour the power of my bloodline…" Ye Qingtang frowned deeply. Ling Yan's words reverberated in her mind.

941 Devouring Bloodline 4

Ye Qingtang did not understand Ling Yan's true intentions, but she instinctively chose to believe Ling Yan. She had a strange feeling that Ling Yan would never harm her.

Otherwise, although Ye Qingtang was no match for the girl in green, the girl in green could not prevent her from fleeing either.

The moment the original Divine Phoenix's Bloodline was sucked out of her body, the Heavenly Demon Pearl that Ye Qingtang had swallowed exploded in an unimaginable burst of Heavenly Demon Aura.

A furious roar exploded within Ye Qingtang's body. The power of the original Heavenly Demon gushed forth like a flood breaking its dam. It began to strip the power from the bloodline of the girl in green.

"Original Heavenly Demon Aura?!"

The girl in green's pupils constricted, and her expression changed drastically.

Ye Qingtang had original Heavenly Demon Aura in her body?!

Furthermore, Ye Qingtang had not yet fully digested the original Heavenly Demon Aura. When she sensed the incursion by the Heavenly Demon Aura that had begun to devour her bloodline, the girl was enraged.

"You… who exactly are you… why do you have original Heavenly Demon Aura within you?!" The girl in green shouted coldly at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang had not moved at all. It was as if her body was beyond her control. Instead, it was being controlled by the power of the Heavenly Demon Pearl.

After a short while, the girl in green gritted her teeth and tried to move the hand that she had placed on Ye Qingtang's shoulder.

However, the girl in green did not succeed. It was as if the hand that she had placed on Ye Qingtang's shoulders had grown roots. It would not budge even an inch.

As the minutes and seconds ticked by, the girl in green's face became ashen.

"You… you dare to devour my Devouring Bloodline!" The girl's expression was cold and vicious. She could clearly sense Ye Qingtang devouring the Devouring Bloodline in her body bit by bit.

The reality was that Ye Qingtang did not want to devour the girl in green's bloodline, but her body was being controlled by the power of the Heavenly Demon Pearl. All this was caused by the Heavenly Demon Pearl and was not Ye Qingtang's intention.

Puff!

After fifteen minutes, the girl in green spat out fresh blood. She staggered as she stumbled backward.

"My Devouring Bloodline!"

The girl in green gritted her teeth as she glared at Ye Qingtang.

Her Devouring Bloodline had been seized by Ye Qingtang!

Although she usually devoured the bloodlines of others, the girl in green had not dreamt that today, her bloodline would be devoured instead!

The aura of the Heavenly Demon Pearl had dissipated. Ye Qingtang was now in control of her body again, and her expression was filled with shock.

Ye Qingtang clearly sensed that an extremely strong and potent bloodline had been added to her body. The power of this bloodline seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"It was the Heavenly Demon Pearl that devoured the girl in green's Devouring Bloodline instead…" Ye Qingtang's expression was rather strange.

The Heavenly Demon Pearl originated from the body of the original Heavenly Demon. It was the accumulation of a lifetime of essence of the original Heavenly Demon. The girl's Devouring Bloodline was evolved from the Heavenly Demon's Bloodline. Just now, when the girl in green used the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline to devour the power of her bloodline, it had angered the Heavenly Demon Pearl… Instead, the Heavenly Demon Pearl had seized the Devouring Bloodline of the girl in green, and Ye Qingtang had reaped the benefits…

"That means… I now have the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline…" Ye Qingtang snapped out of her reverie after a long time. This bloodline could be said to be the most terrifying and powerful bloodline in the world. However, Ye Qingtang had now unaccountably seized the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline of the girl in green.

942 Devouring Bloodline 5

Ye Qingtang looked at the girl in green and said coldly, "Your Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline is truly terrifying. But I must thank you."

Ye Qingtang served the girl in green with her own words.

With just the Divine Phoenix Bloodline, she had exchanged it for the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline.

As she spoke, the corners of Ye Qingtang's lips curved upwards into a bone-chilling smile. She strode over to the girl in green.

Who knew how many powerful bloodlines the girl in green had devoured using her Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline?

Now, she herself possessed the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline. If she could devour all the girl's bloodlines…

"Good… very good…" The girl in green stared at Ye Qingtang. Her expression was utterly gloomy. "Change is bound to happen. Today, you have seized my Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline. In the future, I will force you to repay me a million times over!"

When the girl in green finished speaking, her entire person suddenly integrated into space and she vanished on the spot as if she had evaporated.

Ye Qingtang only relaxed when she was certain that the girl in green had left completely.

This situation was completely unexpected. Ye Qingtang had been content with the original Phoenix Bloodline from the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix. Now, she had seized the girl in green's Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline in some strange way and could devour the power of all the bloodlines in this world!

The Devouring Bloodline was a power that was absolutely taboo. It could make a cultivator invincible but could also force them into eternal damnation.

Ye Qingtang was certain that once others knew that she possessed the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline, she would be relentlessly pursued to the death.

Possessing the Devouring Bloodline was a sin. In this world, no one hoped that the power of their bloodline would be devoured by someone else. As a result, once someone who possessed the Devouring Bloodline was discovered, the results were easily predictable.

"What the f*ck… Devouring bloodline…" Little white tiger suddenly poked its head out of Ye Qingtang's arms. With a shocked expression, it said, "You are incredibly lucky! It's actually the Devouring Bloodline… this kind of bloodline can easily devour the power of us fiendcelestial beasts."

"Oh?" Ye Qingtang was shocked.

The Devouring Bloodline seldom appeared in this world. In both her lives, Ye Qingtang had heard of the Devouring Bloodline but had never seen it.

"Only the most outstanding among the Heavenly Demon Clan can possess the Devouring Bloodline… Further, the Heavenly Demon Clan is an alien race. In primordial times, it almost extinguished all living beings. In the end, the true god created a barrier and drove them into an alien space. However, the Heavenly Demon Clan said that they would return someday…" the little white tiger said thoughtfully.

Ye Qingtang now possessed the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline. If the Heavenly Demon Clan should break through the seal one day, would they take Ye Qingtang for one of their own…

"This is the first time I have come into contact with the Devouring Bloodline… You said just now that the Devouring Bloodline can even devour the power of the fiendcelestial beasts?" Ye Qingtang asked as she looked at the little white tiger.

"That's right." The little white tiger nodded vigorously.

"There is no power that the Devouring Bloodline cannot devour! Even if you meet the true god, you can devour all his power and transform it into a part of yourself. That's why the Devouring Bloodline is called the Taboo Bloodline of Power. If the bloodlines were ranked, the Devouring Bloodline would be superior to the power of thousands of other bloodlines. It is one of the powerful primordial bloodlines."

"In that case… want to let me try devouring you?" Ye Qingtang looked at little white tiger meaningfully.

"It's just like you to bully me… we're allies, why would you devour me…" The little white tiger repeatedly shook its head.

The little white tiger immediately leaped from Ye Qingtang's arms to the ground. It picked up a stone in its mouth and threw it at Ye Qingtang's feet. "Go on, try to devour it!"

"You want me to… devour a stone?" The corners of Ye Qingtang's lips twitched.

"That's right. Try it." The little white tiger nodded.

Ye Qingtang had no choice but to use her Devouring power. A black glow shrouded the stone.

The next instant, there was a cracking noise, and the stone exploded into fine powder, then transforming into nothing.

However, Ye Qingtang was surprised to discover that the stone actually contained a trace of spirit energy, which she digested.

"What the f*ck! It's so twisted!" The little white tiger was rendered speechless. "Not only can he Devouring Bloodline devour bloodlines, but it can also devour all the energy in this world. Even spirit roots… can be easily devoured. However, with your present ability and cultivation level, you've done well to devour a stone. If you want to devour the power of a human's bloodline and cultivation, you will need to cultivate for a few more years…"

Of course, Ye Qingtang understood what the little white tiger was saying. It was not true that just anyone who obtained a powerful bloodline could immediately use it perfectly.

Like the girl in green, with her inscrutable martial talent and cultivation. Even if the true god was reborn, she could at most devour the power of a bloodline but would be unable to devour the power of cultivation.

Furthermore, Ye Qingtang was currently only a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven. She was doing pretty well to be able to devour some plants, but she was unable to devour the power of another person's bloodline.

Of course, Ye Qingtang was not interested in devouring other people's bloodlines. Ye Qingtang would never actively seize someone else's bloodline or cultivation, as it was contrary to her principles. But if anyone tried to kill her, Ye Qingtang would naturally not be bothered with morals or principles.

In summary, if others did not threaten her, Ye Qingtang would not actively seize other people's bloodline or cultivation. But if someone insisted on opposing her or tried to kill her, then Ye Qingtang's Devouring Bloodline would teach him a lesson.

Before Ye Qingtang had time to think further, a slender figure slowly approached.

"Miss Ye, do you like my present?" A laughing voice rang out.

When she heard the voice, Ye Qingtang turned around and saw…

A handsome, smiling man. His hair waved in the wind. He looked radiant and extraordinarily elegant.

"Ling Yan…"

Ye Qingtang frowned. Wasn't that Ling Yan?

"Why do you enjoy involving me in your schemes?"

Ling Yan laughed softly when he heard Ye Qingtang's words. "What does Miss Ye mean? I have never done anything to Miss Ye's disadvantage."

"Of course I know that…" Ye Qingtang said. "I meant that you should discuss your schemes with me beforehand. I am always the last to know about them."

Ye Qingtang was already considered intelligent, but she found it difficult to cross swords with Ling Yan, who had near demonic intelligence.

Heaven knows how this fellow had gotten a brain like that.

It was as if he held heaven and earth in the palm of his hand.

"Miss Ye, if I told you earlier, I'm afraid it would cause some changes… but of course, if Miss Ye doesn't like it, I will discuss them with you next time." Ling Yan smiled good-naturedly.

944 We Meet Again 2

Before Ye Qingtang could speak further, her gaze suddenly fell onto something next to Ling Yan.

The silver wolf, who had been lost in the previous chaos, was now standing quietly next to Ling Yan.

"Xiao Guai, where have you been?"

Ye Qingtang looked at the silver wolf with some surprise.

The silver wolf was quietly following Ling Yan and seemed intent on ignoring Ye Qingtang.

This was the first time that the silver wolf had ignored her, and Ye Qingtang felt that it was rather strange.

She knew that the silver wolf was proud and aloof. It usually ignored everyone.

But she was the only exception.

Now…

Why was Xiao Guai ignoring her too?

"Does Miss Ye like my silver wolf?" Ling Yan laughed when he saw the situation.

"Yours?" Ye Qingtang was taken aback when she heard Ling Yan's words." Xiao Guai is mine."

"Very well, since Miss Ye says so, then it belongs to Miss Ye." Ling Yan nodded and turned to look at the silver wolf. "Hadn't you better go over."

"ARH-WOOOOOO!"

When it heard Ling Yan's words, the silver wolf unwillingly walked over to Ye Qingtang. But it looked back every few steps, as if it could not bear to leave Ling Yan.

Ye Qingtang was speechless when she saw the silver wolf's resentful expression.

What is wrong with Xiao Guai?

Could it be that Ling Yan demonic intelligence had even allowed him to subdue the wolf?!

"That's right, the Devouring Bloodline. Miss Ye needs to use it cautiously. Do not allow anyone to find out about it." Just as Ye Qingtang was puzzling over the sudden change in Xiao Guai's personality, Ling Yan suddenly spoke to her.

When he mentioned the Devouring Bloodline, Ye Qingtang's earlier suspicions awoke in her heart again. She looked at Ling Yan.

"Ling Yan, was this a part of your scheme… how did you know that the girl had the Devouring Bloodline… how did this happen and how will it end?"

Ye Qingtang was unable to understand Ling Yan's schemes. Probably no one on earth could guess what Ling Yan was thinking.

"That girl was a member of the Jiang family," said Ling Yan.

Ye Qingtang was not surprised. The fact that she possessed the Heavenly Demon Bloodline meant she was probably from the Jiang family.

"Let me tell you." Little azure dragon, who had followed Ling Yan, cleared its throat and said.

"Ling Yan is familiar with the Jiang family. The girl left the Jiang family when she was young and traveled to the Second Domain. After she grew up, her Heavenly Demon Bloodline transformed into the Devouring Bloodline. The Jiang family found out and searched far and wide for the girl.

"Then Ling Yan received news that the girl had reached this mainland and entered the Dragon Vein. The girl had previously devoured someone else's Phoenix Bloodline. After entering the Dragon Vein, she was sure to head towards the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix… Further, as Miss Ye's only opponent was the girl, one of two outcomes were certain to arise."

"What are the two outcomes?" The little white tiger was curious.

"The first outcome was that the girl would obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix." The little azure dragon spoke mysteriously. "The second outcome was that Ye Qingtang would obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix."

"If the girl obtained the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, after she saw the power of Ye Qingtang's Rise of the Phoenix, she would certainly try to devour it. However, once the girl and Miss Ye crossed swords, Miss Ye's Heavenly Demon Pearl would certainly react and seize the power of the girl's Devouring Bloodline."

Little azure dragon smiled and said, "The second outcome was that Ye Qingtang would obtain the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, and the girl, unwilling to resign herself, would seize Miss Ye's Divine Phoenix Bloodline."

"But the conclusion would be the same. The Heavenly Demon Pearl has the aura of the original Heavenly Demon. The moment the girl acted against Ye Qingtang, her Devouring Bloodline would be seized by the power of the Heavenly Demon Pearl. The conclusion would be the same, regardless of the outcome." Little azure dragon finished slowly.

"Ling Yan, what a great scheme… but what if there was someone else with the Phoenix Bloodline among the cultivators who came to the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, and he was chosen by the Divine Phoenix? Then, the successor would be neither Ye Qingtang nor the girl in green. Wouldn't your scheme fall through?" The little white tiger was not convinced.

"That is impossible because Ling Yan already checked, and no one else possessed the Phoenix Bloodline. Even if they did, it would be an inferior Phoenix Bloodline, and the Divine Phoenix would not choose him. Even a superior Phoenix Bloodline would be inferior to Ye Qingtang and the girl," explained the little azure dragon.

"F*ck you, you're vicious. You win." The little white tiger grunted coldly.

Ever since he had entered the Dragon Vein, everything this Ling Yan had done was seemingly unrelated. But in reality, when he strung them together, they formed an interlocking chain that one could not guard against.

Ever since Ye Qingtang had blocked the knife, it had been one grand, shocking scheme.

Further, the chain reaction caused by the knife included killing Perfected Gu Yun, obtaining the Heavenly Demon Pearl, making everyone believe Ye Qingtang was a cultivator from the Jiang family, and finally the power of the Heavenly Demon Pearl seizing the Devouring Bloodline and so on…

This kind of person was just too horrifying… with all kinds of evil plots and benign schemes. Even if one knew it was a trap, one had no choice but to grit one's teeth and jump in.

"What the f*ck… that's not right, Ling Yan!" The little white tiger suddenly looked at Ling Yan.

"If you didn't give the Heavenly Demon Pearl to Ye Qingtang but personally came to the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix and provoked the girl into fighting you, you could have used the power of the Heavenly Demon Pearl and seized the girl's Devouring Bloodline yourself… if you had the Devouring Bloodline, coupled with your schemes, you would definitely be comparable with the true god within a few years. But you gave the Heavenly Demon Pearl to Ye Qingtang instead… why was that?"

Even Ye Qingtang herself could not understand, much less the little white tiger.

Ling Yan could predict everything down to the last detail. Based on his intelligence, it would be only too easy to gain power.

Why would he give her all these opportunities?

When he heard that, Ling Yan smiled and said, "I felt that Miss Ye needed the Devouring Bloodline more than I did. Miss Ye's calamity is probably greater than mine. Also, although I may have lost the opportunity to become comparable with the true god, Miss Ye can protect me in the future, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Ling Yan's smiling gaze seemed to fall on Ye Qingtang.

"…" Ye Qingtang was speechless.

"Pfft!" Little white tiger scoffed. "I'll never believe that you need anyone to protect you."

"You're being stupid." The little azure dragon glared at the little white tiger. "He is worried about Ye Qingtang's safety. After possessing the Devouring Bloodline, Ye Qingtang can become more powerful. He would rather forgo his chance to become comparable to the true god. Do you understand?"

"Oh… I understand." The little white tiger studied Ye Qingtang meaningfully.

However, without giving Ye Qingtang a chance to speak, Ling Yan laughed and said, "Miss Ye, you had better leave this mainland as soon as possible."

"Why?" Ye Qingtang was perplexed.

"Because…" Ling Yan smiled. "I am going to destroy this mainland with the power of the True Dragon."

"What did you say…"

Ye Qingtang frowned deeply after hearing Ling Yan's words.

Was this Ling Yan actually going to use the power of the True Dragon to destroy this mainland?!

"This mainland was transformed by a Spiritual Abode, and a hidden ancient clan in the Central Mainland has already received the news. In no time, they will come here to destroy everything and obtain the Spiritual Abode. I want to destroy this mainland before them so they will not be able to obtain the Spiritual Abode," said Ling Yan.

Ling Yan had some enmity with that ancient clan, and his ultimate objective of coming to this mainland was to destroy it. Otherwise, once that ancient clan obtains the Spiritual Abode, their powers would skyrocket such that they would be able to control the First Domain.

"Ling Yan, you can destroy this mainland…" Ye Qingtang took a deep breath before looking up to meet Ling Yan's eyes. "Over my dead body."

"You don't wish for me to do that?" Ling Yan asked gently as he looked at her bright eyes.

"My loved ones and friends are in this mainland. It is where I am raised and nurtured until now." Ye Qingtang replied.

Perhaps Ling Yan's skills were not anything significant, but what was really scary about him was his intelligence.

If he really wished to do that, no one would be able to guess how he would go about it.

After listening to what Ye Qingtang said, Ling Yan pondered for a moment and eventually said, "It's possible to not destroy this mainland, but you must pay a certain price."

"What price?" Ye Qingtang asked instinctively.

Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan, perplexed. To protect this mainland, she still had to pay a price…

However, it seemed that Ling Yan still had not understood the situation. Leaving aside the fact that Ye Qingtang was already at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven realm and possesses the Devouring Bloodline and original Phoenix Bloodline, given Ling Yan's martial skills, it was child's play to kill Ling Yan even if her skills had not improved.

However, Ye Qingtang did not wish for such a thing to happen. She did not want this mainland to be destroyed in Ling Yan's hands, and neither did she wish to hurt Ling Yan.

She could not kill Ling Yan as he played a part in her rebirth, not to mention the several times he helped her before.

The so-called price, however, piqued Ye Qingtang's curiosity.

Ling Yan walked forward slowly as his crescent-like eyes stared right into her eyes.

Before Ye Qingtang returned to her senses, Ling Yan's lips touched Ye Qingtang's lips gently like a dragonfly skimming the water surface and parted immediately after a touch.

The slight warmth that came with the contact disappeared instantly.

It seemed unreal.

Dumbfounded, Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan in surprise.

"This is the price that you have to pay." Ling Yan stared at Ye Qingtang and said slowly as he flashed an unknowing smile.

The price… that she had to pay?!

Ye Qingtang recovered from her surprise. An unreal warmth seemed to still linger on her lips.

In just a moment, Ye Qingtang widened her eyes, and she glared at Ling Yan.

For some reason, she felt that this scene was familiar.

"You…" Ye Qingtang was about to slap this fellow, but before she could lash out, Ling Yan's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said, "If I don't destroy this mainland, I'm afraid it will still be taken away by the ancient clan. The miserable fate of this mainland is still unavoidable."

Ye Qingtang was taken aback. The impulse to slap Ling Yan was all gone as all her attention was instantly attracted by what Ling Yan said.

"I will not let such a thing happen," Ye Qingtang said as determination filled her eyes.

Ye Qingtang had an extremely special attachment to this mainland, regardless of whether she was a citizen here.

In this mainland, there was the Ye family who raised her, the sects where she learned her skills from; there were too many sentiments as well as feelings attached.

Ye Qingtang lived two times, and if she could not even protect this mainland, what was the meaning of her rebirth?

Ling Yan looked at Ye Qingtang, whose attention was successfully diverted away, and a smile fleeted across his eyes. Then, he said calmly, "I originally wanted to destroy this mainland directly, but since you're unwilling to, then forget about it. Currently, two out of the three great inheritances in this Dragon Vein belong to you. This trip can be considered to be successful and completed."

Ye Qingtang was thankful for Ling Yan about this. Without Ling Yan's assistance, she would definitely be unable to obtain such destinies on this trip. Not only did she gain the original Phoenix Bloodline inheritance and the Heavenly Demon inheritance, she even seized the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline from that girl in green.

Ling Yan's words truly faded Ye Qingtang's intention to slap him by a large amount.

She faintly sensed that whatever Ling Yan said a while ago seemed to be diverting her attention, but what was speechless was…

What he said was really not simple.

Furthermore…

As the saying went…

To receive a gift was to sell one's liberty.

Moreover, with Ling Yan's skills, her slap might just kill him.

"Let's go quickly. With the three great inheritances in the Dragon Vein all gone, the three major forces on this mainland will definitely be alarmed. There's no need to continue creating more problems." The little azure dragon advised.

Ye Qingtang fully agreed with what it said. The Peerless School, Phantom Valley, and Beiming Manor were the most powerful forces of this mainland. Even with Ye Qingtang's current cultivation base, she might not be able to stand any bargain if she fought all three of them head-on.

Half a day later, Ye Qingtang and Ling Yan left the Dragon Vein and reached a deserted land before they entered the Dragon Vein.

"Ling Yan, did you come to this mainland just for the Dragon Vein?"

Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan and asked.

"My goals…" Smiles filled Ling Yan's eyes as though nothing happened at all before, and he replied slowly. "There are too many goals but almost all are achieved… Naturally, destroying this mainland was one of my original objectives, but it was rejected by you. That is also my only unaccomplished goal."

"Of course, the greatest goal for coming to this mainland is still you, Miss Ye." Then, Ling Yan's eyes naturally landed on Ye Qingtang as a seeming smile formed on his face.

Regarding Ling Yan's shocking remarks from time to time, Ye Qingtang had already chosen to consciously ignore them.

In this Dragon Vein, Ye Qingtang once saw her past in the Puti Tree, where she ultimately learned that the person who helped her to be reborn was not anyone else but Ling Yan.

In this entire world, Ling Yan was probably the only one who could achieve such a remarkable feat with his Karma Bloodline.

Although Ye Qingtang was curious and wished to know why Ling Yan helped her to be reborn, she was unable to ask such a thing currently.

After all, the person who allowed her rebirth was the Ling Yan from her previous life and not the current one. Even if she questioned him now, Ling Yan might not know anything either, and there would be no point in asking then.

"Miss Ye, since you want to protect this mainland, then that means you will not be leaving with me." A while later, Ling Yan looked at Ye Qingtang meaningfully.

Ye Qingtang was a little dumbfounded. Even if this mainland did not need her protection, there was no need for her to leave with Ling Yan, was there…

"Since that's the case, how about I stay to be with you?" Ling Yan suddenly asked with a laugh when he saw that Ye Qingtang did not speak.

"…" Ye Qingtang glared at Ling Yan and shook her head. "There's no need."

Given Ling Yan's Martial Qi Level Three Third Heaven skills, it was too dangerous for him to remain in this mainland. Furthermore, not only did she have to face the ancient clan which was about to head over, she still had to settle some matters in Xuanling Sect and Falling Sky Valley. She had no time to take care of Ling Yan.

Although… she did not think that… Ling Yan really needed her care given his intelligence.

But… accidents existed. No one could promise that an accident would not happen.

Moreover, this incident had nothing to do with Ling Yan from the start.

Seeing that Ye Qingtang was determined, Ling Yan said, "Since that's the case, please take care. I hope to see you in the Central Mainland."

Afterward, Ling Yan cast Ye Qingtang a meaningful look before leaving with the little azure dragon. Right before he turned around to leave, a faint trace of a smile danced in the corners of his eyes, unbeknown to Ye Qingtang.

There would be a day they would meet again.

He looked forward to the arrival of that day.

Watching the back view of Ling Yan as he left, Ye Qingtang looked down slightly and rid the strange feeling in her heart. Then, she turned around and headed in the direction of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty.

She still had many things to settle.

Those were the duties that she had to complete.

…

"Are you really not destroying this mainland?" The little azure dragon looked at Ling Yan in surprise.

Is Ling Yan going to change his plans just because of one sentence from Ye Qingtang?!

Ling Yan chuckled. "Is a sentence from Miss Ye not enough?"

"Ling Yan, it is not important whether that ancient clan of the Central Mainland can keep the Spiritual Abode or not. However… you should know that once the Heavenly Emperor knows that your body and Miss Ye are on this mainland, the consequences would be dire!" The little azure dragon said anxiously.

"Are you this certain that I am Han Cangming?" Ling Yan looked at the little azure dragon with a faint smile.

"A straightforward person does not use insinuations. I am not anyone else. You can dream of hiding your true identity from me…" Confidence was written all over the little azure dragon's face. "Frankly speaking, you are the Demon God, Han Cangming, and there is no influence on you even if I know it or not."

Ling Yan smiled after hearing the little azure dragon. "The azure dragon clan is indeed extremely intelligent."

The True Dragon clan was the leader of the four great Fiendcelestial Beasts. However, there was more than one breed of dragons. For example, the Black Dragon clan specialized in massacre, Azure Dragon in intellect and astronomy, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon in unparalleled power.

Although the little azure dragon had not yet matured, its current spiritual wisdom was already extraordinary.

"Just as you said, there is no influence on me regardless of whether you know it or not." Ling Yan echoed with a smile.

"It's best that you admit it. Let's return to the topic then. I think that the wise choice is to use the power of the True Dragon's inheritance to destroy this mainland. Your body appeared in this mainland before, and if you don't destroy all traces of it, you will not be able to ensure the safety of your body once the Heavenly Emperor hears this!" the little azure dragon said sternly.

Ling Yan did not seem to be concerned with what the little azure dragon said. "To me, the body is not important. So be it if it exists or is destroyed."

"What did you say…" The little azure dragon was taken aback as astonishment filled its eyes.

"Ling Yan… could it be that you don't intend to recover all of the body's powers in the future?"

The little azure dragon looked at Ling Yan with a complicated expression and continued,

"Although you already have your current body… your powers are all in your previous body. Even if you're unconcerned, at least recover your powers. That is where all of the Demon God's martial powers are!"

The powers of that empty shell were not what Ling Yan's current skill of Martial Qi Level Three Third Heaven could compare to!

Was he really going to forgo it?!

Ling Yan merely flashed a tiny smile upon listening to what the little azure dragon said. "If I really viewed powers so importantly, I would not have handed the Heavenly Demon Pearl to Miss Ye."

Ling Yan continued,

"In no more than three years, my skills can surpass my previous peak."

"Why exactly is that so?" The little azure dragon could not comprehend Ling Yan's thinking.

"Firstly, if I recovered the body's powers, the Heavenly Dao destiny will sense it. Secondly, I don't fancy that body's powers." Ling Yan smiled.

"The real reason is that you don't fancy it, isn't it?" The little azure dragon remarked meaningfully

"You can interpret it that way too." Ling Yan laughed.

"Even if you don't care about the body… don't forget that the Heavenly Emperor should be on this mainland… Furthermore, he has already appeared." The little azure dragon sighed softly.

Not only would the Heavenly Emperor destroy that body of Ling Yan's, but he would also destroy Ye Qingtang.

"You don't need to worry about such things," Ling Yan said.

"ARH-WOOOOOO!"

Before the little azure dragon could say anything, a silver shadow suddenly flashed by from far away.

The silver wolf that should have left with Ye Qingtang suddenly chased after them. The silver wolf looked at Ling Yan with an irritated expression as it sprinted over wildly.

However, only the silver wolf was in sight.

"This silver wolf was transformed by the killing intent of your body and has instincts. It seems that it has already identified who the true Demon God is." The little azure dragon commented with a smile when it saw the silver wolf running over.

"Mhm." Ling Yan looked at the silver wolf and said. "Given its skills, it will only be a hindrance if it remains beside Miss Ye. Let's leave with it."

Then, Ling Yan brought the silver wolf and the little azure dragon and walked northward where a few guards had already been waiting for a long time.

"Your Highness!"

The midget looked at Ling Yan and greeted respectfully.

"Seal off this mainland. Only entries are allowed. Exits are prohibited." A trace of iciness silently flashed across Ling Yan's eyes.

"Seal?"

The guards were slightly stunned and flabbergasted.

"Ling Yan… you're thinking of blocking all the cultivators who came to this mainland from leaving… By the time when that ancient clan invades here, those powerful cultivators from the Central Mainland can only resist with their lives… In this case, it would reduce the pressure on Ye Qingtang…" The little azure dragon analyzed thoughtfully.

Ling Yan smiled and did not give any reply.

After receiving Ling Yan's orders, the midget and other guards could only join hands to start the sealing formation.

Once the formation was activated, it would be difficult for even a Divine Arcane Supremacy to leave this mainland, although it was easy to enter.

"Your Highness, this formation can only persist for two months."

After setting up the sealing formation, the midget reported.

"Two months, is it… That's enough." Ling Yan nodded.

950 Return to Lin Town 1

After parting from Ling Yan, Ye Qingtang rushed to Xuanling Sect. As for what Ling Yan did afterward, she did not have an inkling about it.

In Formidable Heavens Dynasty, Ye Qingtang looked at the little white tiger in her arms and subsequently scanned her surroundings. Her brows furrowed deeply as she spoke slowly. "Where's… my wolf?!"

"Wolf?"

After hearing Ye Qingtang, the little white tiger was dumbfounded as well, and it instinctively inspected the surroundings. "Right, where's your wolf?"

Previously when they were bidding farewell to Ling Yan, the silver wolf was still following Ye Qingtang obediently. Why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?!

"I am asking you. Where's my wolf?" Ye Qingtang looked at the little white tiger.

"Why are you asking me? How would I know where your wolf is? Do I help you to look after your wolf?" The little white tiger was baffled. It was a Fiendcelestial Beast, not a wolf-guarding beast!

Ye Qingtang did not argue with the little white tiger and instead chose to trace back their footsteps. After searching the borders of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty for several days, the silver wolf was still nowhere to be found.

"As clearly seen, your wolf ran away," the little white tiger looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

Ye Qingtang frowned slightly as she pondered.

Such a case was not rare; it was not the first time either…

They had not found any traces of the silver wolf over the past few days, and it might have run off somewhere as it did before.

After a fruitless search, Ye Qingtang could only give up as she thought that the silver wolf would return soon like the other time.

Anyway…

It was considered a common affair for Xiao Guai to runaway.

Presently, Ye Qingtang had entered the Formidable Heavens Dynasty.

However, her current mood was different from when she left initially.

She was forced and had no choice but to leave previously, but now that she had returned to the Formidable Heavens Dynasty again, no one could do anything to her.

"Where are we going now?"

The little white tiger poked its head out and asked curiously.

After hearing the little white tiger's question, Ye Qingtang was in deep thought.

Ye Qingtang originally intended to head to Xuanling Sect first but eventually decided to return to Lin Town first.

It had already been more than a year since she left the Ye family of Lin Town and headed to Xuanling Sect to cultivate.

With a rough calculation, it had been almost two years since Ye Qingtang saw her father, Ye Ling, and she missed him dearly.

There was a distance of several thousands of miles from the borders of Formidable Heavens Dynasty to Xuanling Sect and from Xuanling Sect to Lin Town.

If an ordinary cultivator wished to rush to Lin Town from their current location, he would require at least a month even if he traveled day and night.

Nonetheless, with Ye Qingtang's current cultivation base, she returned to Lin Town in only half a day.

There were not many changes in this small town.

However, the town seemed to be more bustling and prosperous than two years ago, and businesses could be seen everywhere.

"Ever since the Long family came to Lin Town, the Ye family and Si family have been on the decline."

Ye Qingtang heard a few people conversing when she entered the town.

In her previous life, she was chased after for her life by the Great Elder after her father died. Without any other means, she fled from Lin Town and never returned since then. As such, she never heard of any news regarding Lin Town.

As for what Lin Town experienced afterward, Ye Qingtang was not clear.

It was thus strange for her when she heard people mentioning = the Long family.

What was the background of this Long family?

Please go to to read the latest chapters for free

951 Return to Lin Town 2

"However, the Long family's appearance is beneficial to Lin Town as well. In the past year, Lin Town is more prosperous than before, and the Long family's businesses are everywhere."

A certain elderly laughed softly.

"Of course. The Long family is too powerful. The Si family and Ye family still dared to resist initially, but they don't even have the courage to fight back now!" A young man commented.

"The Long family took over too many businesses from the Ye and Si family. Nearly half of the Ye and Si family's businesses were absorbed by the Long family. Look at the wise Duan family which understood the times. Soon after the Long family rooted itself in Lin Town, the Duan family leaned on the Long family and offered all their businesses to the Long family. Currently, the Duan family has become a subsidiary family clan of the Long family but is also extremely wealthy and much more powerful than before. With the Long family's assistance, the Duan family has already beaten the Si and Ye family!"

"Is that Long family really so powerful? The Ye and Si family have at least several hundreds of years of history in Lin Town already." A person had a confused expression as he did not have much knowledge about the Long family.

"There are things you don't know. The Clan Master of the Long family is a mighty figure from another town and is at the half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm. How can the Ye and Si family be able to fight against the Long family? If not for the fact that the Long family saw some exploitative use of the Ye and Si family, it would already have taken over them a long time ago!" The elderly explained.

"What… Half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord?!"

After learning of Clan Master Long's martial skills, everyone was startled and in disbelief. Even the super-powerful cultivators in sects were not even at this realm!

To the family clans in the town, one was already considered an unparalleled, powerful figure if one's skills could enter the Martial Qi Level Two realm. They had never seen a cultivator at Martial Qi Level Three before, not to mention a so-called half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord. To the masses, that was simply an invincible realm that existed only in legends.

"Long family…"

Ye Qingtang began thinking. She truly had no impression of the Long family at all.

She did not think much about it, however. The Si residence was right ahead, and Ye Qingtang headed over to meet the Si's.

When she was in Lin Town, the Si family took great care of her, and she never forgot about it.

"Who are you! Stop!"

A few guards at the entrance of the Si residence immediately stopped Ye Qingtang.

"Notify Clan Master Si that Ye Qingtang is here to pay a visit." Ye Qingtang told the few guards who prevented her from entering.

"Ye Qingtang… Young Miss Ye of Ye family?"

The few guards were dumbfounded. Subsequently, one of them nodded and informed Ye Qingtang to wait for a moment.

Before long, a young male in white walked out with the guard.

"Tang Tang, it's indeed you…" The male in white was surprised to see Ye Qingtang.

It had been almost two years since Ye Qingtang left Lin Town, and it was unexpected for her to return today.

"Brother Si Ye, how have you been?" Ye Qingtang looked at the male and asked with a smile.

The male in white before her was the Young Master of the Si family, Si Ye, whom Ye Qingtang was familiar with.

"Quick, come in with me!" Si Ye laughed and hurriedly led Ye Qingtang into the Si residence.

"Is Grandfather Si in?"

After entering the Si residence, Ye Qingtang looked at Si Ye and asked.

"Mhm… Grandfather is at home. However, he was injured awhile ago; thus, he is unable to go out to receive you." Si Ye answered.

"Grandfather Si is injured?" Ye Qingtang was taken aback. "What happened?"

Please go to to read the latest chapters for free

952 Return to Lin Town 3

"It's not serious, so please don't ask anymore." Si Ye heaved a soft sigh. His voice was filled with resignation.

Since she saw that Si Ye was unwilling to say more, Ye Qingtang did not pursue the matter.

After a moment, Si Ye had led Ye Qingtang to the study.

"Grandfather, Tang Tang is here," said Si Ye.

"Come in."

Master Si's voice could be heard from the study. The voice seemed a little weak.

Si Ye immediately led Ye Qingtang into the study.

The old man sitting in the study was Master Si.

However, Master Si's temples were now graying. Compared to two years ago, he had aged greatly. Furthermore, his face was lacking some of its normal colors. With Ye Qingtang's ability, she could immediately tell that Master Si had suffered from a serious injury. Although he had recovered, it left behind some chronic ailments.

Considering Master Si's age, an injury of this type was fatal.

"Tang Tang, when did you return?" When Master Si saw Ye Qingtang, he immediately stood and smiled as he spoke to her.

"I just returned to Lin Town today." Ye Qingtang answered honestly.

"Tang Tang, I heard that you went to the Xuanling Sect to cultivate… why do you have time to return?" Master Si was somewhat surprised.

Lin Town was thousands of miles from the Xuanling Sect. A return journey would take a very long time. Considering Ye Qingtang's situation, it was unrealistic for her to return to Lin Town under normal circumstances.

A remote little town like Lin Town was unclear about the matters relating to the various sects. They could not possibly know about the changes that had taken place in the Xuanling Sect. It was as if the sects and secular society were two completely separate worlds.

"Tang Tang, could it be that you did not become an inner sect disciple of the Xuanling Sect…." Si Ye asked as he looked at Ye Qingtang.

Half a year ago, Si Ye and the others had planned to travel to the sect and participate in the sect assessment. However, events in the town had delayed them.

Although a family in a small town did not quite understand the sects, they knew some of the basic rules.

In order to enter a sect to cultivate, one first became an outer sect disciple. The so-called outer sect discipleship was actually an assessment period. One could only become an inner sect disciple by passing the assessment within the assessment period. However, out of a hundred outer sect disciples, it was pretty good if even five became inner sect disciples.

Ye Qingtang's sudden return to Lin Town naturally caused speculation.

Ye Qingtang smiled when she heard that. However, she did not wish to explain, as it would be too complicated. Instead, she simply kept quiet.

"Si Ye." Master Si immediately shot a displeased look at Si Ye. Even if Ye Qingtang had not passed the sect's assessment to become an inner sect disciple, Si Ye should not have asked so directly.

Si Ye also knew that he had committed a faux pas and looked at Ye Qingtang apologetically.

"It's alright, Grandfather Si." Ye Qingtang smiled.

"That's right, Qingtang, have you gone home?" Master Si asked.

"After I arrived in Lin Town, I came to visit Grandfather Si first, so I haven't gone home yet," said Ye Qingtang.

Master Si nodded when he heard that. A contented expression surfaced on his face.

"Grandfather Si, where is Si Bai?" Ye Qingtang had not seen a trace of Si Bai since her return to the Si family and was rather curious.

"Third brother is not home," laughed Si Ye.

"A year ago, after you left Lin Town, Grandfather ordered someone to nurse third brother according to the method you left, and he is much better now…"

953 Return to Lin Town 4

Si Bai was extremely intelligent but was born with a weak body. Fortunately, Ye Qingtang's help had managed to turn the course of his illness around. However, Si Bai had suffered too many losses in the past decades. Hence, Master Si had arranged for Si Bai to travel a thousand miles away to somewhere where he could convalescence quietly, in hopes of speeding up his recovery.

Si Bai had been convalescing there for more than a year.

Ye Qingtang nodded when she heard Si Ye's words.

As they were speaking, Master Si coughed repeatedly, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

When he saw that, Si Ye's expression changed.

Half a year ago, Master Si had been injured by a powerful cultivator from the Long Family. Although his injuries had healed, he was old, and it was unavoidable that some chronic ailments remained.

"Grandfather Si's injury…" Ye Qingtang looked at Master Si and asked.

"Hmph, it's all the doing of that Long Family and that Duan Family." Master Si grunted coldly. When he mentioned the two families, he gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Long Family and Duan Family…" That was also Ye Qingtang's guess, but she was somewhat surprised to hear it from Master Si.

"Ai…" Master Si sighed softly. "Tang Tang, you have left Lin Town for almost two years. There are many things that you don't know about. A year ago, the Long Family moved into Lin Town. They were extremely domineering, and they exploited the Ye Family and the Si Family in many ways. We resisted a few times, and I was injured as a result."

"The Long Family is just too powerful. Rumor has it that the head of the family is a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord… we are helpless in the face of such a powerful cultivator." Si Ye's face was filled with resignation.

Si Ye had intended to ask the City Lord of Fallen Stars City for help, but although they had sent many messages, they had not received a reply.

There was no news of Mu Su. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air.

Fortunately, the Long Family had not annexed the Si Family or the Ye Family. It was as if the Si and Ye families were beneath them. After all, in the eyes of the Long Family, these two families were as insignificant as ants.

"Grandfather Si, let me examine your injuries," Ye Qingtang said to Master Si.

Master Si sighed when he heard that. "My injuries have healed, but they gave rise to chronic ailments that I am unable to recover from."

Without saying anything else, Ye Qingtang stepped forward and used her primordial qi to examine his body.

Master Si's injuries had indeed healed; it was just that the chronic ailments were deeply rooted. If they were not completely eradicated, he would not live for many more years.

"Grandfather, it's nothing. Just rest for a few more days, and I'm sure you'll be better." Si Ye frowned as he spoke.

But Master Si shook his head at Si Ye's words. "Si Ye, Grandfather is old but not senile. I am well aware of my own body. I'll be lucky if I'm not dead within half a year. Now, Grandfather's greatest wish is for our Si Family to be safe."

Si Ye gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he did not say a word.

Of course, he knew about his grandfather's condition.

Everyone knew that the Si Family's Third Young Master, Si Bai, was physically weak. However, they did not know that Master Si's health was now so poor.

His grandfather's chronic ailments had previously been suppressed by elixirs. But now, the elixirs available on the market had long lost their effectiveness, and his chronic ailments would flare up every half a month.

"Grandfather Si, I have an elixir."

Ye Qingtang smiled and took out a fiery red healing elixir from her space ring.

Ye Qingtang had obtained this elixir from the Dragon Vein. Besides improving one's physique and constitution, it could rapidly increase the cultivation level of those below the grade of half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

To Ye Qingtang, this type of elixir was so insignificant as to be almost worthless. However, to a family in a small town, it was a priceless treasure.

"Tang Tang, don't waste it." Master Si immediately shook his head.

As he had said earlier, he was well aware of his state of health. In his current state, any elixir would be wasted on him.

"Grandfather Si, I have plenty of this type of elixir," said Ye Qingtang.

"Tang Tang, actually Grandfather's chronic ailments are very serious. Elixirs no longer have any effect. Now, we can only nurse him," said Si Ye.

"This elixir can probably cure Grandfather Si's injuries." Ye Qingtang did not keep her elixir and handed it over to Master Si.

"Alright, since it's a token of Tang Tang's good intentions, Grandfather will accept it." Master Si took the scarlet elixir from Ye Qingtang's hand.

"Grandfather Si, eat the medicine." Ye Qingtang smiled.

"Tang Tang, it is not yet time for Grandfather to take his medicine." Si Ye looked at Ye Qingtang.

"It doesn't matter. This elixir can be taken at any time and will instantly cure you," replied Ye Qingtang.

When he heard Ye Qingtang's words, Master Si did not allow Si Ye to say anything else. He immediately popped the elixir into his mouth.

The moment the scarlet elixir entered Master Si's mouth, it immediately transformed into a current of air. The next instant, an indescribable burning current of air rushed into Master Si's limbs, bones, and meridians.

As the burning current rushed in, all the chronic ailments in Master Si's body were completely washed away. His body and energy were unimaginably improved. His body let out a sound like the popping of cooked beans.

After a long time, Master Si's color returned to normal. It was no longer as weak and pale as before.

"Grandfather?"

Si Ye was shocked when he saw the surprise on his grandfather's face. He was rooted to the spot and could not help but call out in alarm.

"This…"

At Si Ye's soft call, Master Si returned to his senses. He stared at Ye Qingtang in disbelief.

"Tang Tang… this elixir of yours…"

Master Si had never encountered such a miraculous elixir in his life. In just a moment, it had completely swept away all his extremely serious chronic ailments. Even his cultivation level, which had reached a bottleneck many years ago, seemed to show faint signs of a breakthrough!

What kind of miraculous elixir was this?!

"Why? Does Grandfather Si like the taste and want to try it again?" Ye Qingtang was in a good mood when she saw that Master Si had recovered his old self.

"Tang Tang, don't tease… this elixir is so valuable. Even if you don't keep it for yourself, how can you casually give it to me?!" Master Si stared at Ye Qingtang, his brow deeply furrowed.

Although Master Si did not know the name of this elixir, its effect was so miraculous that it probably was one of the sect's original immortal elixirs and a great treasure. It was priceless. Even if the Si Family beggared themselves, they probably could not obtain the elixir in exchange!

Once the chronic ailments in Master Si's body were cleared, his cultivation became even purer. Besides joy, he also felt an indescribable sense of pity.

He was already so old, yet such a miraculous elixir was wasted on him. Also, Master Si became even more suspicious of where Ye Qingtang had obtained such a precious immortal elixir from.

"Tang Tang, surely you haven't taken Xuanling Sect's authentic precious immortal elixir?!" Master Si looked at Ye Qingtang gravely.

Ye Qingtang could not help but laugh when she heard that. She did not show any sign of being offended. The fact that Master Si could say these things showed that he treated her like one of his family.

"Grandfather Si, you don't need to worry. I didn't steal it from the Xuanling Sect," said Ye Qingtang. She naturally knew what Master Si was worried about.

"Ai… since that is so, you should have kept this wonderful immortal elixir…" Master Si's heart still ached at the waste.

"Grandfather Si, these things have not much value to me," explained Ye Qingtang.

"No value?"

Master Si was taken aback when he heard Ye Qingtang's words. It was as if he had misheard.

However, Master Si very quickly understood that this was just Ye Qingtang's excuse.

"That's right." Ye Qingtang took a red bottle from her space ring. There were approximately fifty scarlet elixirs in it. "Grandfather Si, this is for you."

Master Si looked suspicious. He took the red bottle that Ye Qingtang handed to him and opened it. When he saw the contents of the bottle, he was stunned and could not believe his eyes.

The red bottle… was filled with the scarlet elixir he had taken just now…

Just as Master Si was staring at it blankly, Ye Qingtang took a premium yellow-grade weapon from her space ring. "Elder Brother Si Ye, I think this sword suits you, so I'll give it to you."

"This…"

Si Ye took the sword and studied it. His pupils contracted violently in disbelief.

In the entire Lin Town or even in its ten neighboring cities, a premium yellow-grade weapon had never appeared before. Even Clan Master Long, a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, only carried a sword that was a superior yellow-grade weapon!

But what Ye Qingtang had given him was a premium yellow-grade…

Si Ye was ashen. He almost subconsciously returned the premium yellow-grade weapon to Ye Qingtang.

"What's the matter? Don't you like it, Elder Brother Si Ye?" Ye Qingtang looked at Si Ye. "This sword is not great, but black-grade divine weapons are not easy to control… also, in a sense, this sword is not inferior to ordinary black-grade divine weapons."

"No… no, no, no, Tang Tang, you can't do this. It's too valuable!" Si Ye shook his head repeatedly. Although he desperately wished to accept this premium yellow-grade weapon, logic told Si Ye that he could not do so. Si Ye's emotions were momentarily thrown into turmoil.

He could not accept such a valuable gift from Ye Qingtang for no reason. In Si Ye's eyes, a premium yellow-grade weapon was as valuable as a divine weapon.

It would be the same as someone giving Ye Qingtang a heaven-level divine weapon for no reason…

But Si Ye did not know that Ye Qingtang's space ring contained innumerable weapons of this grade. What he considered to be a divine weapon was no different from a piece of scrap metal in Ye Qingtang's eyes.

"It's not valuable. Please accept it." Ye Qingtang threw the premium yellow-grade weapon over to Si Ye.

Si Ye's martial talent was quite good. The sword he currently carried was an ordinary weapon forged in a weapons shop. With Si Ye's martial ability, a premium yellow-grade weapon would cause him to level up by more than one grade.

At that moment, Si Ye's emotions were in turmoil. This premium yellow-grade weapon was just too valuable. If he accepted it…

However, Si Ye's eyes remained glued to the premium yellow-grade weapon in his hand.

956 Return to Lin Town 7

Ye Qingtang quickly took out a jet-black bronze longbow from her space ring. She placed them in Master Si's hand, together with a few dozen black arrows.

At that moment, Master Si was still staring at the dozens of scarlet immortal elixirs in the bottle when he felt something ice-cold in his right hand. He subconsciously glanced downward and studied the black bronze longbow in his hand.

"Premium yellow-grade bronze arrow… and premium yellow-grade bronze arrows…"

At that moment, Master Si was completely stunned.

Master Si loved hunting, and among the various weapons, he was especially skilled at archery. He had a collection of a few dozen longbows in his house.

However, very few cultivators in the secular world could use the bow, and similarly, few were trained in archery. It was rare to see a longbow of slightly higher quality. Even among the sects, a yellow-grade longbow seldom appeared, and a premium yellow-grade longbow made of bronze was unheard of.

Among the longbows, those made of bronze were the rarest. Besides the bronze longbow, there were also a few dozen arrows, all made of bronze. Each bronze arrow was of premium yellow-grade level and could be used repeatedly.

"Tang Tang… this…"

Master Si looked at Ye Qingtang in shock and disbelief.

It was impossible to estimate the value of a premium yellow-grade bronze longbow, and with a few dozen premium arrows included…

"Grandfather Si, I know you are especially skilled in archery and have collected many bows in your home. I especially looked for this bow for you. The arrows have an aura of frost and are fairly powerful. Even a Martial Level Three cultivator will be instantly frozen if he comes into contact with the aura of frost," Ye Qingtang said.

In this mainland, there were very few cultivators who were versed in archery. Master Si had been an expert marksman when he was young. Now, with this premium yellow-grade bronze bow and arrow, he would be fairly formidable.

"Tang Tang, these things are just too valuable. If you have no use for them, give them to your father. Right now, your Ye Family urgently needs these things…" Master Si said hurriedly.

Although Master Si did not know where Ye Qingtang had found these startling treasures, if Ye Qingtang did not mention it, then Master Si also would not pursue the matter.

"No need." Ye Qingtang immediately shook her head. "Grandfather Si, I have many other items like that, and the Ye Family can't possibly use them all. You should just accept them. Unless you don't like them?"

"Don't like?"

Master Si and Si Ye were both stunned. They had never seen treasures of this grade in their lives. They would love to sleep next to them. How could they not like them?

"Tang Tang, do you really want to give this to Grandfather?" Master Si looked shocked.

Even the current Long Family probably had nothing like that…

"Of course." Ye Qingtang nodded.

"Tang Tang… thank you." Master Si saw that Ye Qingtang was determined and did not refuse further. He could not bear to let go of the bottle of scarlet elixirs and the bow and arrows. To him, they were like precious treasures.

"Grandfather Si, these elixirs are enough for your skills to break through to the half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord stage within half a year. At that time, you will be a force to reckon with when you use this bow" Ye Qingtang said laughingly.

"Half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord…"

957 Ye Family 1

Both Master Si and Si Ye were stunned when they heard Ye Qingtang's words. They had never thought of… achieving this level in their lifetime.

By the time they both snapped out of their trance, they realized that Ye Qingtang had vanished and left the Si house.

After leaving the Si house, Ye Qingtang went straight to the Ye house.

She had not been back for more than a year. She wondered how her father and second uncle were.

As she walked along the familiar streets to the main gate of the Ye house, she saw two unfamiliar servants guarding the entrance.

Ye Qingtang walked directly towards the main gate of the Ye house. When the two guards saw that someone wanted to enter the Ye house, they immediately blocked her way.

"This is the Ye house. Miss, do you have any business here?" One man asked.

"I'm going home." Ye Qingtang gaze brushed past these two guards, whom she had not seen before.

"Going home?" The two of them were stunned. One of them was a young man who stared at Ye Qingtang's features for a while as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"You… You are the Eldest Young Lady, Ye Qingtang?"

"Yes." Ye Qingtang nodded.

The two of them immediately exchanged glances and snapped out of their trance.

The two of them had been in the Ye family for a year and had often heard Second Elder and the Master of the Ye family mention the Eldest Young Lady, Ye Qingtang. They heard that the Eldest Young Lady had gone to the Xuanling Sect. They had occasionally seen a picture of the Eldest Young Lady that hung in the Master's room, but they had not seen her in person.

"We didn't know that Eldest Young Lady was coming home and were remiss in our welcome." The two of them bowed immediately.

Ye Qingtang nodded slightly and walked into the Ye house that she had left a year ago.

Everything in the Ye house was just as she had left it, but there were many unfamiliar faces in the house.

Ye Qingtang did not see her father, Ye Ling, or Second Elder in the living room, so she went to Ye Ling's study.

Ye Ling was sitting in the study, his brow deeply furrowed. Second Elder was sitting next to him with a grave expression. The two of them were sitting in silence when someone suddenly pushed open the door.

Ye Ling subconsciously looked up with a frown, but what he saw caused him to almost drop the file in his hand.

"Tang Tang?!" Ye Ling was surprised and overjoyed when his daughter suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"Father, Second Uncle." Ye Qingtang looked at the two familiar faces before her, and a sincere smile involuntarily surfaced in her eyes.

"Tang Tang, why are you… back?" When Second Elder saw that Ye Qingtang had returned, his expression was one of surprise and joy.

They had not seen Ye Qingtang for almost two years after she left for the Xuanling Sect.

"I was homesick. Doesn't Father and Second Uncle want to see me?" A trace of a smile appeared on Ye Qingtang's face. It was as if she had momentarily forgotten all her fatigue and busyness in the outer world.

She could only truly relax in the Ye house, among her own kin.

"What are you saying? Your father has missed you desperately for the whole year. Can't you see that your picture is hung in his study every day? If he doesn't look at it at least a few times every day, he would be at a loss." Second Elder's grave expression had vanished slowly with Ye Qingtang's return.

Ye Qingtang's gaze swept across the interior of the study. Her picture really hung on one wall.

"Don't listen to your Second Uncle's nonsense. Sit down." Ye Ling laughed and shook his head, but when he looked at Ye Qingtang, his eyes were filled with concern.

"Has everything been alright with you while you were with the Xuanling Sect?"

"Everything has been fine. Thank you, Father, for your concern." Ye Qingtang laughed as she spoke. In order to avoid worrying her father, she did not say anymore.

958 Ye Family 2

"That's good." Ye Ling nodded his head in relief.

Ye Qingtang could smell the faint smell of medicine. She followed the smell and looked towards the study table in front of Ye Ling.

A bowl of brown medicine was sitting on the study table.

"Has Father been ill recently? Why are you drinking medicine?"

Before she left the Ye house, Ye Qingtang had neutralized the slow-acting poison which the Ye Family's Great Elder had used to poison Ye Ling. She had also given him a few prescriptions to improve his health before she left.

Ye Ling only needed to follow the prescriptions for half a year to recover all the ground he had lost.

Why was he still eating medicine now?

A strange look flashed across Ye Ling's face, but he laughed and said, "It's nothing serious." He raised his hand and pushed the bowl of medicine away from Ye Qingtang.

Before Ye Qingtang could continue, Ye Ling changed the subject and said, "Although it's good to miss home, you have only just entered the Xuanling Sect. Don't be too casual. The sect has many rules. You had better not spend too long outside it."

"I've just come back, and now, Father wants to drive me away?" Ye Qingtang was sharp enough to read between the lines of her father's words. It was clear that her father did not want her to stay with them for too long.

"This is your home, who could drive you away? I am merely afraid that the sect will blame you. After, it was not easy to enter the Xuanling Sect. You are now a disciple of the Xuanling Sect and must naturally make good use of this opportunity," Ye Ling said as he sighed softly.

Just as Ye Ling finished speaking, a knocking was heard from the study door.

"Master, Second Elder, the Great Elder is inviting you over for a discussion." A voice could be heard from beyond the door.

"The Great Elder?" Ye Qingtang was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

If she remembered correctly, the Great Elder had died long ago.

Second Elder said, "Tang Tang, many changes have taken place in the Ye Family since you left. The Great Elder of the Ye Family is no longer Ye You's grandfather but someone your father and I invited."

With that, Second Elder rose and said, "I'll go first. You and your father have not seen each other for a long time. There is no need to rush over."

"You go and take a look first. I'll follow in a while," Ye Ling said.

With that, Second Elder left the study.

"Father, the Great Elder was invited by you and Second Uncle?" Ye Qingtang looked at Ye Ling. When she had first reached the Ye house, she had realized that many unfamiliar faces had appeared in the Ye house.

Ye Ling nodded slightly and said, "That's right, we invited him."

Ye Ling immediately said, "In the past, Ye You's grandfather was very ambitious and tried to control the Ye family. After you got rid of him, your Second Uncle and I also took the opportunity to cleanse the Ye Family of his followers…"

The Ye Family had been in a precarious state. The death of Ye You's grandfather had rid the Ye Family of latent danger. However, it had also been a major setback, and many of its elite members were driven from the Ye Family, causing a great loss of the Ye Family's power.

After a long discussion between Ye Ling and Second Elder on how to restore the Ye Family, Second Elder had invited two powerful people to settle in the Ye Family and take up the position of Elder within the Ye Family.

The current new Great Elder was one of the powerful men who had been invited. The other received the honorific of Third Elder.

Besides entering the Ye Family, these two new elders also brought their offspring and disciples into the Ye Family. Their entry had slowly caused the Ye Family's decline.

959 Ye Family 3

Ye Qingtang quietly listened to what her father said.

Considering the Ye Family's present circumstances, her father and Second Uncle's strategy was correct.

The Ye Family was one of the three major aristocratic families in Lin Town. It certainly could not depend solely on Ye Ling, who had recently recovered from his injuries, and Second Elder to prop it up.

In her previous life, Ye You's grandfather had harmed her father and Second Uncle, and the Ye Family had fallen into their enemies' hands. In this life, everything had changed. However, Ye Qingtang was unfamiliar with the two new Elders.

After some small talk with Ye Qingtang, Ye Ling stood up.

"Perhaps the Great Elder has something to discuss. I'll go have a look."

"I'll go with you, Father," said Ye Qingtang.

Ye Ling looked a little hesitant, but when he met Ye Qingtang's bright eyes, he could only nod calmly. After they left the study, Ye Ling said to Ye Qingtang earnestly,

"Tang Tang, it was really not easy for you to enter the Xuanling Sect. As your father, my only wish is for you to peacefully cultivate within the sect. If you have the opportunity one day to enter the inner sect, that would be the best, but if that is not possible, then I hope you will be safe and at peace."

Ye Ling had not expected Ye Qingtang to suddenly return in the midst of trouble. However, he was truly unwilling for his own daughter to be dragged into this matter.

"I understand, Father." Ye Qingtang nodded.

Ye Ling did not say anything more and immediately led Ye Qingtang away from the study, towards the main hall of the Ye house.

Second Elder was sitting in the main hall of the Ye house with a solemn expression. By his side sat two old men, both over fifty years of age.

"The Duan Family has become increasingly daring of late," the old man sitting at the head of the table said with a frown.

His name was Dan Haoqing. He had extremely good martial skills and talent, and he was Second Elder's fellow disciple under the same master. However, after Second Elder had completed his studies, he had returned to the Ye Family to take up the position of Elder while Dan Haoqing had continued his cultivation.

A year ago, Second Elder had personally invited this Senior Brother to the Ye family to take up the position of Great Elder of the Ye Family.

"What about the Duan Family? Aren't they just depending on the Long Family for support? If not for that, we have nothing to fear from the Duan Family," another old man said gravely.

This old man was called Feng Qingyun. He was on good terms with Dan Haoqing and was also very powerful. When Second Elder had invited Dan Haoqing to join the Ye Family, he had also invited Feng Qingyun along. Now, he was the Third Elder of the Ye Family.

The two of them were very powerful. Even Second Elder, who used to have the best martial skill in the Ye Family, was no match for them.

"Just as Third Elder said, there was nothing to fear from the Duan Family in the past. However, the Duan Family of today has the support of the Long Family. From what I know, the Long Family has given the Duan Family much help. Even the Duan Family's oldest son has broken through to the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One with their help." Second Elder was frowning deeply and looked uneasy.

Second Elder spent half his life immersed in martial skills and had gone through many hardships in his cultivation. But until today, he had only reached the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One. However, the eldest son of the Duan Family was only in his early twenties and had already reached the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One!

One must know that a year ago, the Duan Family's eldest son, Duan Tianyun, was merely a Connate Level Eight. Now, with the Long Family's help, he had risen to the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One within a year!

Except for the Long Family, in the entire Lin Town, few elders among the three greatest family clans were currently a match for Duan Tianyun, much less the younger generation.

960 Ye Family 4

Second Elder had specially invited Dan Haoqing and Feng Qingyun to take command of the Ye Family, but they were only at the same level as Duan Tianyun—Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One. However, they might be more experienced than Duan Tianyun.

However…

One must know that Duan Tianyun was not the only person in the Duan Family to have leveled up.

"The Long Family has a long history, and its Grand Elder is a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord. With a background like that, even if they gave the Duan Family a little help, it would be priceless to the Duan Family," the Grand Elder said with a frown.

"Will the Duan Family really make trouble for us? Although they are usually arrogant, they are as obedient as young children in the presence of the Long Family." Third Elder laughed coldly. He seemed rather disdainful of the way the Duan Family had acted.

All the great family clans had existed for centuries. Whether big or small, they maintained their dignity.

But not long after they met the Long Family, the Duan Family had shamelessly and repeatedly tried to curry the Long Family's favor. Now, they had reaped the benefits and were throwing their weight around Lin Town. They no longer had any regard for the Ye Family or the Si Family.

With the help of the Long Family, the Duan Family had become increasingly arrogant.

"For the Long Family to have helped the Duan Family to suddenly create so many powerful cultivators above the level of Martial Qi Level One, the Duan Family must have expended a lot of effort to curry their favor," said Second Elder with a sigh.

As they were discussing the matter, Ye Ling entered the main hall with Ye Qingtang in tow.

The two new elders glanced at Ye Ling when he walked into the main hall, and their eyes fell on Ye Qingtang, who was walking behind Ye Ling.

They had been in the Ye Family for some time and had naturally been to Ye Ling's study many times. Of course, they remembered the painting hanging in Ye Ling's study.

Wasn't the girl in the painting the same as the person behind Ye Ling?

The two of them had learned from the household guards that the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family, Ye Qingtang, had returned. They glanced at her and saw a beautiful young girl. Although she was astonishingly beautiful, her slightly immature features and frail body were no different from that of an ordinary girl.

"Master, is this the Eldest Young Lady?" Third Elder asked as he looked at Ye Qingtang, who was standing behind Ye Ling.

Ye Ling smiled and nodded. He said to Ye Qingtang, "Tang Tang, this is Third Elder, Feng Qingyun. This is the Great Elder, Dan Haoqing."

"Greetings, Great Elder and Third Elder." Ye Qingtang spoke politely.

The two elders nodded slightly. They did not pay much attention to the return of this Eldest Young Lady.

They had previously heard much about the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family. They knew that Ye Qingtang had entered the Xuanling Sect and became an outer sect disciple. However, this was nothing special and did not mean much to them.

An outer sect disciple of the Xuanling Sect would not be able to solve their current problems.

But at the mention of the sects, the Third Elder seemed to recall something. He turned and looked at the Great Elder. "Great Elder, do you know when your grandson will reach Lin Town?"

"Barring unforeseen circumstances, he will be here in two days," replied the Great Elder.

The Duan Family had received much help from the Long Family in recent times, and the progress of the younger generation had been startling. Besides Duan Tianyun, who had progressed rapidly to the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One, a few younger members of the Duan Family had also progressed very quickly.

A month ago, a younger member of the Duan Family had arrogantly gone to the Ye house to make trouble. This young member of the Duan Family's natural talent was average, but with the help of the Long Family, he had rapidly progressed to the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One.

That day, he had come to the Ye house and challenged all the younger members of the Ye Family. Even the disciples that the two elders had brought along had been defeated at his hands. He had then recklessly mocked the Ye Family for its lack of talent.

The Great Elder naturally felt that he could not allow the Ye Family to be embarrassed like that, so he had sent word to his grandson in the far off Leiting Sect to hurry back to Lin Town to hold the fort.

"That's great. Great Elder, since your grandson is an inner sect disciple of the Leiting Sect, if he can return, the Duan Family won't dare to be so arrogant," Third Elder said with a smile.

All the younger members of the Ye Family who were present in the main hall looked pleased when they heard that the Great Elder's grandson was returning.

Most of them were brought here by the two elders and naturally knew about the Great Elder's grandson.

The Leiting Sect was one of the sects in the Formidable Heavens Dynasty. It was comparable with the Xuanling Sect in terms of power, but it was situated near the northern border and was in a different area from the Xuanling Sect, Qinglin Sect, and the Wind Moon Sect.

The Great Elder's grandson was called Dan Yifan. He was naturally talented and had a superior green spirit root. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old but had already become an inner sect disciple in the Leiting Sect.

The younger members of the Ye Family, who had been oppressed by the Duan Family, now pinned their hopes on Dan Yifan returning to stand up for them.

Ye Ling was a little relieved when he heard the news but did not notice that Ye Qingtang, who was standing behind him, had a rather odd expression on her face.

At that moment, a Ye Family servant entered with news.

"Master, Elders, Young Master Dan has returned."

When everyone in the main hall heard the news, their faces lit with joy.

"Speak of the devil." Third Elder looked pleased as he turned to look at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder's face also showed a hint of a smile.

When the younger members in the audience heard the news, they immediately rushed out to welcome him.

One must know that before Dan Yifan had entered the sect, he had long been idolized by this group as a boy genius.

In a moment, a handsome young man dressed in green and surrounded by a crowd walked in slowly. His face showed a hint of a smile. When he stepped into the main hall, he bowed to the Great Elder.

"Grandfather, I have come."

"Good, good, good…" The Great Elder looked at his grandson who had arrived in time, his eyes filled with contentment.

The Great Elder then introduced the others to his grandson. "This is your Grandfather Feng, whom you have met before. This is the Second Elder of the Ye Family."

Dan Yifan nodded blandly when he saw Second Elder.

"This is the Master of the Ye Family."

Dan Yifan nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"And this is the Master's daughter and the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family," continued the Great Elder.

Dan Yifan only glanced at Ye Qingtang.

For the past few years, he had been cultivating in the Leiting Sect without leaving it at all. From letters that his grandfather had sent to him, he had learned about his grandfather joining the Ye Family, including some of the circumstances surrounding the Ye Family.

"I heard that Eldest Young Lady has already entered the Xuanling Sect." Dan Yifan spoke smilingly. He already had a general idea of the Ye Family's situation from the Great Elder's letters. Of course, he also knew that the Ye Family's Eldest Young Lady had entered the Xuanling Sect a year ago and had become an outer sect disciple.

"Yes." Ye Qingtang spoke blandly. She had no special feelings towards this Dan Yifan, whom everyone idolized.

"The Leiting Sect where I am situated is tens of thousands of miles away from the Xuanling Sect. However, they are all sects. If you encounter anything you don't understand in your martial studies in the future, I may be able to help you a little." Dan Yifan spoke frankly, but his words were filled with arrogance.

962 Boy Genius 2

Dan Yifan was now an inner sect disciple of the Leiting Sect, and his ability was naturally greater than average.

Although Ye Qingtang had entered the Xuanling Sect, everyone knew that her spirit root was only a lowly red spirit root. It was already difficult for her to enter the sect, but she probably would not have the opportunity to enter the inner sect of the Xuanling Sect in her lifetime.

If Dan Yifan was willing to give a pointer or two, anyone would consider it a wonderful blessing.

Ye Qingtang looked expressionlessly at the youth before her with his arrogant brow.

"No need to bother you," Ye Qingtang said blandly.

Dan Yifan raised his brows slightly. Clearly, he had not expected Ye Qingtang to reject him so curtly.

One must know that within the sects, the inner and outer sects were separated by a great divide. An outer sect disciple usually had no opportunity to even converse with an inner sect disciple.

However, Dan Yifan did not take this matter to heart. He had merely made the offer as a favor to the Ye Family.

"Yifan, did you obtain leave from your sect to return?" The Great Elder looked at his grandson whom he was so proud of.

"I have already made arrangements with my master. However, I cannot stay for long and will have to return to the sect after half a month at the most. My Master is bringing me into the sacred ground of the Leiting Sect to cultivate next month, and this cannot be delayed for too long," said Dan Yifan.

"Of course, the sect takes precedence." The Great Elder nodded slightly. "I have already made the situation with the Duan Family clear in my letter. Do you understand?"

Dan Yifan laughed softly and said, "Grandfather, don't worry. Since I have returned and am now considered part of the Ye Family, of course, I won't allow anyone to bully you. The truth is that I already broke through to the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One a year ago. So Grandfather, please don't worry."

The eyes of everyone in the main hall brightened when they heard Dan Yifan's words.

One must know that Dan Yifan was currently only seventeen or eighteen and was considered very young. For him to have broken through to the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One meant he truly deserved to be called a genius.

Even Ye Ling and Second Elder, who were sitting by the side, looked at Dan Yifan in amazement.

"Since that is the case, I won't worry anymore." The Great Elder nodded and smiled. His eyes were filled with pride.

How talented was he, to be able to enter the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One at the age of seventeen or eighteen?

With Dan Yifan's talent, given time, he would have no trouble breaking through to Martial Qi Level Two in the future.

However, just as everyone in the Ye Family was rejoicing in Dan Yifan's arrival, a Ye Family guard suddenly rushed in.

"Master and Elders, the Duan Family… someone from the Duan Family is at the door."

"Hmph, they are really arrogant. This Duan Family is going too far!" The Great Elder expression darkened, and he frowned deeply.

When Dan Yifan saw the Great Elder's expression, he immediately said, "Grandfather, is this the youth from the Duan Family that you mentioned in your letter?"

"That's right…" The Great Elder nodded slightly. "Not long ago, this person sought out the Ye Family and injured many of us. He is really arrogant. I'm afraid he's here to make trouble again."

Dan Yifan laughed softly. His gaze swept across everyone in the main hall as he said, "No problem. Since I've returned, I won't permit anyone to make trouble. Grandfather, why don't we go take a look at this Duan family member together?"

When the Great Elder heard this, his expression grew warmer. A trace of a smile surfaced in his eyes when he looked at his grandson.

When the younger members of the Ye Family heard what Dan Yifan said, an expectant look surfaced in their eyes.

Did the Duan Family really think they could bully them?

Little did they know that Dan Yifan had returned to the Ye Family. It was time for a showdown with those bastards from the Duan Family!

With that, everyone from the Ye Family exited the main hall and walked towards the courtyard.

A few members from the Duan Family were standing in the courtyard.

They were at most in their early twenties, but all of them had haughty expressions. They stood blatantly in the Ye Family courtyard without showing any signs of fear.

The leader of the group from the Duan Family was a youth in his early twenties. He lifted his chin slightly, and his eyes filled with disdain when he looked at the approaching group from the Ye Family.

"Well? Has the Ye Family completed its preparations?" The young leader asked impatiently.

After the Long Family had settled in Lin Town, its formidable power had firmly established it as the foremost family clan. The original three great family clans had lost the glory of their former days. Instead, the Duan Family, who had curried favor with the Long Family, now used their connections to bully others. Under the Long Family's banner, they had blatantly demanded tribute from the Si Family and the Ye Family.

This youth had previously come knocking at the Ye Family's door. The Ye Family had ignored him, but unexpectedly, he then provoked all the younger members of the Ye Family and started a fight.

Ye Ling frowned slightly, and the elders looked displeased.

When Dan Yifan saw what was going on, he immediately stepped forward. He had already learned about the Duan Family's doings from the letter the Great Elder had sent him.

"Your Duan Family need not stretch out its hands for our Ye Family's belongings," said Dan Yifan coldly.

The youth from the Duan Family looked up and saw the unfamiliar Dan Yifan. He frowned impatiently. "Who are you? What right do you have to speak here? Hasn't the Ye Family learned the meaning of fear? Or is that their skin itching again?"

With that, the youth from the Duan Family rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists.

This youth was the eldest grandson of the Duan Family's elder. He had some natural talent, but he was originally no more than a Connate Level Five. However, with the Long Family's help, he had improved drastically within a year.

Last month, he had broken through to the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One. Based on ability, he was currently ranked third among the younger members of the Duan Family.

"I think the person with itchy skin is you." Dan Yifan laughed coldly, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. "You are just an idiot who recently stepped into the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One, yet you dare to boast here."

The youth from the Duan Family looked grim. "You are really not afraid to die. Since the Ye Family doesn't know what is good for it, I don't mind teaching you the rules of Lin Town!"

With that, the youth from the Duan Family forced his energy to circulate around his body. As his inner qi flowed through his body, he immediately drew the sword at his waist. A gust of sword breath immediately shot out from his sword!

Dan Yifan looked coldly at the oncoming gust of sword breath. His eyes showed no trace of fear. His lips curved slightly in a mocking arch. Then, he suddenly drew his sword, and a red glow flooded the blade of his sword!

The next instant, Dan Yifan casually struck with his sword. A red glow flew outwards and dispersed the oncoming sword breath!

A deafening sound suddenly erupted in the Ye Family's courtyard.

The red glow itself did not scatter after dispersing the sword breath. Instead, it headed straight for the youth from the Duan Family!

The youth from the Duan Family had not expected his sword breath to be broken. He could see a red glow suddenly approach, but before he could react, the red glow struck at him. He only had time to raise his sword and block the oncoming red glow.

However, the red glow smashed down with the force of a huge rock. It fell from above, smashing viciously into him!

The huge impact instantly sent the youth from the Duan Family flying. The sword in his hand broke on the spot. He fell heavily to the ground, and a bloody wound formed on his chest.

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned by this scene.

Dan Yifan's casual stroke of the sword had heavily injured the youth from the Duan Family!

One must know that this youth from the Duan Family had previously beaten all the younger members of the Ye Family until they were unable to retaliate!

The members of the Ye Family who had been defeated by this youth from the Duan Family finally felt vindicated when they saw their opponent collapse pathetically on the ground.

At that moment, they finally understood how powerful Dan Yifan was!

Even Ye Ling and the elders from the Ye Family could not help but look gratified when they saw this scene.

They had heard Dan Yifan say that he had broken through to the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One a year ago. But the youth from the Duan Family was also at the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One.

Although they were at the same stage, they were worlds apart.

The person from the Duan Family had only broken through a month ago, and his foundations were still weak. He had not yet completely grasped the power of the Martial Qi Level One realm.

On the other hand, Dan Yifan was already at the peak of the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One.

He would probably enter the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One soon!

Everyone from the Ye Family rejoiced. However, the members of the Duan Family who had accompanied the youth were shocked.

They had not expected to find someone so formidable among the younger members of the Ye Family.

With that, the few members of the Duan Family, who looked so threatening just a moment ago, now looked rather odd. They hurried forward and helped the youth up from the ground.

The youth's face was twisted with pain. The wound on his chest throbbed with agonizing pain. He lifted his eyes to look at the prideful Dan Yifan.

"Who are you!"

Since when had someone above the level of Martial Qi Level One appeared among the younger members of the Ye Family?

One must know that based on their understanding, the younger members of the Ye Family were at most around Connate Level Six. Where had this person popped up from?

Dan Yifan suavely sheathed his sword. He lifted his chin slightly and looked at the youth from the Duan Family. "Remember me. I am Dan Yifan, the grandson of the Ye Family's Great Elder. As long as I am here, the Duan Family better not bother the Ye Family."

"Very well, Dan Yifan. Just wait and see!" The youth panted as he glared at Dan Yifan. With that, he led the others from the Duan Family and slunk out of the Ye house.

After the Duan Family left, the Ye Family disciples, who had been repressing their comments, immediately surrounded Dan Yifan.

"Now that Young Master Dan is back, the Duan Family won't dare to be so arrogant."

"What a delightful beating. Did you see how arrogant that fellow from the Duan family was when he came? But now? Young Master Dan, with just one stroke of your sword, you sent him sprawling, and he couldn't even get up. Let's see if he dares to come back to the Ye house."

The young people of the Ye Family surrounded Dan Yifan, chattering away and praising him.

What was a genius?

This was a real genius!

Dan Yifan was a few years younger than many of them, but they could not hope to measure up to his ability in their lifetime.

The Great Elder was very pleased with Dan Yifan's performance and could not help smiling faintly.

"Grandfather and Master, please don't worry. If the Duan Family makes trouble again, I will send them packing," Dan Yifan said bluntly.

The elders and Ye Ling nodded.

When the Duan Family had made trouble, they had only involved the younger generation, so it was inappropriate for the Master and Elders to be involved.

"Young Master Dan, what was that sword that you used? It seemed very powerful!" A youth from the Ye Family stared curiously at the sword at Dan Yifan's side.

"Are you talking about my Blazing Sun Sword?" Dan Yifan smiled and unbuckled the sword at his side. He unsheathed it before everyone's eyes.

Clank!

The blade suddenly rang out as the sharp sword was unsheathed. It glittered with a blinding light.

Flame-like reliefs could be faintly seen on the blade.

"A good sword!" When Ye Ling saw the sword, his eyes brightened.

"This sword… looks extraordinary," said Second Elder.

Dan Yifan laughed and said, "This sword was personally given to me by my Master. It is an inferior yellow-grade weapon."

"Inferior yellow-grade?"

Everyone was shocked by Dan Yifan's words!

A yellow-grade weapon had not appeared in Lin Town for many years. Even those that had surfaced recently belonged to the Long Family. Since when had the other major families seen a divine weapon of this grade?

With that, everyone turned their fervent gaze to the Blazing Sun Sword.

"Young Master Dan… isn't a yellow-grade weapon… quite powerful?" The disciples of the Ye Family seldom had a chance to see a yellow-grade weapon, much less witness its power.

Just now, Dan Yifan had only casually swung the sword, so they had not been able to carefully observe the power of the Blazing Sun Sword.

"Of course, an ordinary weapon cannot compare with a yellow-grade weapon." Dan Yifan smiled as he spoke. "Even among the sects, very few disciples possess one."

"It is truly powerful." All the youths stared unswervingly at Dan Yifan's Blazing Sun Sword.

They would probably never possess a divine weapon like that in their lifetime.

"Young Master Dan, your master must think very highly of you to give you such a valuable sword," said a youth enviously.

Dan Yifan smiled. Although he did not say anything, his expression showed his pride.

He suddenly took out a sword from his space ring.

"This was the original sword I carried. Although it does not have any grade, it's a pretty good weapon." As he spoke, Dan Yifan suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed the sword in front of Ye Qingtang, who had remained silently by the side.

"Since Eldest Young Lady has entered a sect, then she should have a good sword by her side. This sword is for you." Dan Yifan smiled as he spoke. Although his sword had no grade, he had obtained it when he was part of the outer sect of the Xuanling Sect, so it was naturally superior to an ordinary weapon.

966 Another Incident 1

Ye Qingtang looked at the sword that was being placed before her. Her eyes did not even flicker.

"How could we accept such an item?" said Ye Ling

"Master, please don't stand on ceremony with me. My Grandfather is currently an elder in the Ye Family, and I am also a member of the Ye Family. Also… if I can help the Eldest Young Lady in any way, I am happy to do so." Dan Yifan spoke smilingly. Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qingtang, who still had not reached out to accept the sword.

"Eldest Young Lady, please don't stand on ceremony."

"I acknowledge your good intentions." Ye Qingtang looked at the sword that had been handed to her. She did not know whether to laugh or to cry, but her face showed no sign of her thoughts.

"I also have a sword which I obtained recently, and I'm used to it."

When Dan Yifan heard this, his gaze involuntarily fell on the sword at Ye Qingtang's waist.

He could not tell the origins of the sword, but it looked very ordinary.

However, since Ye Qingtang had said so, Dan Yifan could not force her to take the sword. Everything he did was only a formality, and he only did it because Ye Qingtang was the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family.

"In that case, I won't force you." Dan Yifan spoke laughingly. However, before he could store the sword away, another youth from the Ye Family stepped forward.

"Elder Brother Dan… could you give the sword you had to me?" This youth was the Great Elder's disciple. Since young, he had been an ardent admirer of the talented Dan Yifan.

"Why not? Take it then, but remember not to neglect your cultivation." Dan Yifan responded frankly and handed the sword over to the youth.

The youth took the sword, and his eyes filled with joy and surprise. He reverently held the sword in his arms.

When the other youths saw this, they could not help but feel chagrined that they had not taken the initiative to ask for the sword first.

Although this sword could not compare to a yellow-grade weapon, it was also a top-quality ordinary weapon!

Ye Ling looked at the youth who had obtained the sword. He turned to look at Ye Qingtang with a complicated expression in his eyes.

He was rather puzzled as to why his daughter had repeatedly refused Dan Yifan's help. One must know that with Dan Yifan's ability, Ye Qingtang would greatly benefit if he could give her one or two pointers.

However, Ye Ling did not say anything. He was afraid that Ye Qingtang had refused out of pride.

After all, Ye Qingtang was the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family.

Ye Qingtang sensed Ye Ling's gaze, but she only smiled and gave her father a peaceful look.

Although Ye Ling had not said much about the Ye Family's situation, what Ye Qingtang had witnessed showed that the Ye Family was currently in turmoil.

"Great Elder, you really have an excellent grandson." Third Elder smiled and said to the Great Elder as he looked at Dan Yifan, who was surrounded by an admiring crowd.

The Great Elder smiled. Although he did not say anything, the pride that shone in his eyes showed how pleased he was with his grandson.

Just as everyone was talking and laughing, the main gate of the Ye House suddenly burst open.

The people from the Duan Family who had just left had suddenly returned. This time, besides the youth that Dan Yifan had injured, there was another man with a cold and arrogant countenance.

"Elder Brother Duan, it was this fellow! He injured me just now!" The person that Dan Yifan had injured was bandaged. He lifted his finger and pointed to Dan Yifan, who was surrounded by an admiring crowd.

The cold and arrogant man's gaze fell on Dan Yifan. It was as if his face was covered by a layer of frost.

967 Another Incident 2

Everyone from the Ye Family had been rejoicing, but when they saw the people from the Duan Family, their faces fell.

"Duan Luoning…" Second Elder frowned as he looked at the cold and arrogant man. His expression was rather grim.

Duan Luoning was the master's nephew. He was the same age as the Duan Family's eldest son, Duan Tianyun. The two of them had studied under the same master since young and cultivated together.

When Duan Tianyun returned to the Duan Family in Lin Town a year ago, Duan Luoning came with him.

Further, Duan Luoning's ability had improved rapidly with the Long Family's help.

Duan Luoning had not appeared the last time the Duan Family had come to make trouble.

Today, he had unexpectedly arrived at the Ye House.

"Was it you who injured someone from someone from my Duan Family just now?" Duan Luoning spoke coldly. His flinty gaze followed the direction in which the injured youth had pointed and looked towards Dan Yifan.

When Dan Yifan heard that, he smiled and said, "It was I. So what? Can it be that you want to carry on?"

"You injured someone from my Duan Family. We cannot possibly let the matter rest," said Duan Luoning coldly.

"Oh? What are you suggesting?" Dan Yifan raised his brows slightly.

"Since the Ye Family is unwilling to follow the rules, then tomorrow, our families will settle the matter with a match. If the Ye Family wins, the Duan Family will not pursue the matter. But if you lose… you have to follow the new rules," said Duan Luoning.

"So be it. When was the Ye Family ever afraid?" Dan Yifan immediately agreed.

With that, Duan Luoning laughed coldly and led the others away from the Ye House.

The injured youth from the Duan Family only spoke when they had left the main gate of the Ye House.

"Elder Brother Duan… are we just going to let that fellow from the Ye Family get away with it?"

Duan Luoning said, "Get away with it? Dream on."

"Then…"

"The Ye Family has always ignored the new rules. It is time that the Ye Family recognized this problem. In the arena tomorrow, the Duan Family will force the Ye Family to acknowledge that they have no more standing in Lin Town." A cold look flashed across Duan Luoning's eyes.

"I don't just want the Ye Family to lose. I want them to completely lose their face in Lin Town. Many people in Lin Town will come to the match tomorrow. Then, we will use the Ye Family as a warning and let everyone in Lin Town see who calls the shots in here."

After Duan Luoning spoke, everyone from the Duan Family immediately grasped what he meant and did not say anything more. They only waited for the next day's match to have a reckoning with the Ye Family.

In the Ye Family, everyone had different thoughts regarding the Duan Family's challenge.

The Duan Family had previously acted arrogantly. Now that Dan Yifan had arrived at the Ye House, the Ye Family might not need to fear the Duan Family.

"Yifan, you will fight in tomorrow's match." The Great Elder looked at his grandson.

"Yes," said Dan Yifan said graciously.

Then, the Great Elder looked at Ye Ling. "Why not let the younger members of the Ye Family attend tomorrow as well?"

"Very well." Ye Ling nodded in agreement.

The younger members of the Ye Family had been oppressed by the Duan Family for some time. Now that Dan Yifan had arrived, they might as well use the next day's match to regain some of the Ye Family's prestige. It would also be a good opportunity to vindicate the younger members of the Ye Family, who had been oppressed by the Duan Family.

"Tang Tang, you should also go with us tomorrow." Ye Ling turned to look at Ye Qingtang.

Although he did not say so explicitly, the truth was that he hoped Ye Qingtang could learn something from Dan Yifan. Perhaps, it would be of some help to her when she returned to the sect in the future.

968 Another Incident 3

"Very well." Ye Qingtang did not say much, but she guessed her father's intentions.

After all, her father meant well.

"I think that Dan Yifan can handle the match alone tomorrow, but it would be good if the rest can go along and watch. Perhaps they can learn something." Third Elder looked at the younger members of the Ye Family as he spoke.

Dan Yifan's abilities were far superior to that of an ordinary person. It was a pity that he could not stay long with the Ye Family. If they could take the opportunity tomorrow to suppress the Duan Family and also allow others to pick up a move or two, that would be greatly beneficial.

"Yifan, you should rest since you just arrived," said the Great Elder.

"Yes." Dan Yifan bowed slightly.

However, the younger members of the Ye Family all looked eagerly at Dan Yifan, their expressions clearly expectant.

They longed to learn more from Dan Yifan, but since the Great Elder was present, they could not speak out.

"If there is anything you want to ask, you can come to my room after dinner." Dan Yifan had noticed everyone's expressions, and he spoke smilingly.

Everyone brightened at these words.

The Great Elder could not help but laugh and shake his head, but his eyes revealed his self-confidence.

Of course his grandson was outstanding.

Ye Qingtang did not react at all as she saw the admiring crowd cluster around the departing Dan Yifan.

"Tang Tang, you…" Ye Ling almost wanted to counsel Ye Qingtang to ask Dan Yifan for some pointers.

But Ye Qingtang said, "Father, I am rather tired. I'll go and rest now."

Ye Ling could think of nothing to say. He could only nod in concern.

Ye Qingtang immediately sneaked off.

The Great Elder and Third Elder silently shook their heads as they looked at Ye Qingtang's departing figure.

Although martial arts practitioners had their pride, they should not be ashamed to ask for help.

Dan Yifan had repeatedly tried to help Ye Qingtang, but Ye Qingtang had rejected him again and again. They did not know if it was because she could not bear to lower herself from her status as Eldest Young Lady.

They were displeased with her attitude.

"Master, the Eldest Young Lady should change her attitude. Yifan will not be with the Ye Family for long. If she doesn't grasp the opportunity to learn some pointers, it will be too late by the time she returns to the sect." Third Elder counseled tactfully. Everyone knew that within the sects, there was a great divide between inner and outer sects.

Ye Ling was helpless, but he inwardly respected Ye Qingtang's wishes and did not say anything.

The moments slipped past, and before they knew it, it was the dawn of the next day.

This was the day of the match between the Duan Family and the Ye Family.

Dan Yifan was ready early in the morning. As the younger members of the Ye Family crowded admiringly around him, he walked out of the Ye House's main gate and towards the location of the match.

Ye Qingtang followed behind at a moderate pace. After a short while, they arrived at the Lin Town arena.

Someone had leaked the news. Although it was early in the morning, the arena where the match was to take place was already crowded with many Lin Town citizens. Many people craned their necks and looked around them, as if waiting eagerly for a good show.

The accord between the three main families of Lin Town had been disrupted by the arrival of the Long Family.

The original three main families had declined under the Long Family's oppression.

Only the Duan Family that had earlier sought refuge with the Long Family was still robust. Even their disciples had received many benefits.

"That's strange. Why has the Ye Family dared to take up the Duan Family's challenge?"

"Who knows? I heard recently that the Duan Family brought the fight to the Ye House, but none of the younger members of the Ye Family could compete with them. Who knows what has happened for the Ye Family to suddenly steel itself?"

969 The Match 1

"Haven't you heard? A formidable young member of the Ye Family has returned."

"Does the Ye Family have a formidable young member? Could it be that Ye You has returned?"

Everyone was shocked.

If the Ye Family could be said to have a formidable young member, then it was Ye You, who had entered the Yunxiao Sect.

Ye You's grandfather had been the Great Elder of the Ye Family. However, her grandfather had foolishly tried to grasp all the power in the Ye Family, vanishing in the end. This had happened more than a year ago, but no one knew whether Ye You's grandfather was dead or alive. The Ye Family avoided all mention of this matter.

Instead, they invited a new powerful figure to take up the position of Great Elder in the Ye Family.

And in that period, Ye You had not returned to Lin Town.

Everyone guessed that the Ye Family's dissatisfaction towards Ye You's grandfather had caused Ye You to abandon the Ye Family. She had probably deliberately cut off all contact with the Ye Family.

Indeed, Ye You now held the lofty status of the disciple of the Yunxiao Sect's sect master. Considering her status, without her grandfather, the Ye Family was beneath her.

"It's not Ye You, it's Dan Yifan, the grandson of the Ye Family's new Great Elder."

"Dan Yifan? Where is he from? I haven't heard of him before."

"I've heard that this Dan Yifan is only in his teens but is already an inner sect disciple of the Leiting Sect. He has great natural ability. He has probably returned this time to helm the Ye Family."

"An inner sect disciple of the Leiting Sect?!"

As they discussed it, they could not help but be shocked by Dan Yifan's background.

Very few people in the entire Lin Town could enter a sect, much less become an inner sect disciple.

Ye You had been the exception. She had managed to enter the Yunxiao Sect because of her spirit root. However, this Dan Yifan must be quite formidable to have become an inner sect disciple at such a young age, just based on his natural ability.

Just as everyone was fervently discussing the matter, the numerous members of the Ye Family, led by Dan Yifan, arrived at the martial arts arena. Everyone's gaze was concentrated on the young man in the lead, who carried himself with extraordinary poise.

Just after the Ye Family arrived, the Duan Family also walked into the martial arts arena.

The crowd which had gathered to watch the show immediately quieted down when they saw the members of the Duan Family arrive.

Today, more than ten younger members of the Duan Family had arrived.

In the lead was Duan Luoning, who had gone to the Ye House to issue the challenge.

"Who does the Ye Family intend to send for today's match?" A youth from the Duan Family advanced and spoke mockingly to the group from the Ye Family.

Dan Yifan raised his brows slightly and stepped forward.

"Since you want to play, I shall play with you for a while."

"What arrogance!" The youth from the Duan Family glared at Dan Yifan, who had stepped forward. A cold light flashed across his eyes. "You only have the advantage of words now. Wait until you get up on the dais. You will probably wet your pants in terror."

"I'm afraid that you will be the ones to wet your pants…" Dan Yifan said blandly. He took no notice of the Duan Family's provocation.

"You!" The youth from the Duan Family narrowed his eyes and stepped forward swiftly. However, he was suddenly pulled back by Duan Luoning, who was standing behind him.

Duan Luoning raised his eyes to look at Dan Yifan and said, "Sparring with words is meaningless. We have already clearly set out the terms of today's fight. There is no need to say anymore. Let's begin the fight."

Dan Yifan said, "Very well."

With that, Dan Yifan swiftly leaped onto the dais, and Duan Luoning followed.

"Young Master Dan, give it to the Duan Family!" The group from the Ye Family shouted when they saw Dan Yifan enter the arena.

970 The Match 2

"How boastful. I wonder who the people we beat until they howled like stray dogs were. Now, they dare to crawl out of the Ye House and raise a clamor," the youths from the Duan Family said coldly.

The youths from both families were hot-blooded. Sparks were already flying before the match could begin. They rolled up their sleeves and almost sparred on the spot.

At that moment, the Lin Town citizens who had crowded around to watch were filled with anticipation.

One must know that after the Duan Family had sought refuge with the Long Family, the ability of the Duan Family's disciples had far outstripped that of the Si and Ye Families. In their previous fights, the Duan Family had been completely victorious.

Now, the Ye Family had publicly accepted the Duan Family's challenge. However, the ability of this Dan Yifan from the Ye Family was still unknown.

In terms of ability, Duan Luoning was one of the best in Lin Town. Except for the Long Family, almost none of the younger members of the other major families could compare with him.

Even the Eldest Young Master of the Si Family, Si Ye, had been defeated by Duan Luoning.

Everyone knew that because of the Long Family, the Duan Family had begun to oppress the other two major families. They had even borrowed the Long Family's name and demanded tribute from many of the other major families. If the Ye Family was defeated in today's battle, the matter of tribute could no longer be avoided.

The two major families were previously on par, but one was now superior to the other. To pay tribute to the other was not just about money but also about the family's dignity.

"If the Ye Family loses today's match, you must pay a monthly tribute to the Duan Family from now on. Do you dare to take on this bet?" Duan Luoning said coldly as he looked at Dan Yifan.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Similarly, if the Duan Family loses…" Dan Yifan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Naturally, it will be the same." Duan Luoning replied crisply.

With that, Dan Yifan's lips curved in a trace of a confident smile.

A cold light immediately flashed across the eyes of the two opponents.

In that instant, they acted almost simultaneously.

A flash of cold light suddenly exploded from Duan Luoning's hand!

"Glacial Frost Palm?!"

Below the dais, the crowd watched as blasts of cold air spurted from Duan Luoning's palm. The temperature of the surrounding area seemed to drop under the force of his palm.

Icy blue cold air seemed to gather in Duan Luoning's palm. It seemed to imperceptibly transform into a glacial ice dragon that suddenly charged at Dan Yifan.

The form of the glacial ice dragon was reflected in Dan Yifan's eyes. A chill suddenly surfaced in his eyes.

The next instant, he suddenly drew the Blazing Sun Sword at his waist. Roaring hot flames immediately rushed out from his blade!

With a stroke of his sword, an endless stream of blazing flames rushed out with a howl, seemingly setting the air on fire.

The two savage and cruel forces suddenly collided in mid-air. The glacial ice churned under the blazing flames, and steam began to spread.

It was as if the surrounding audience was being roasted or burnt by the hot steam.

The hot flames swallowed the glacial ice dragon and bombarded Duan Luoning with a resounding explosion.

The group from the Ye Family below the dais widened their eyes in excitement as they saw the hot flames rushing away.

"Young Master Dan, kill that Duan Family bastard!"

"Kill him! Let's see if he dares to be so arrogant!"

Amidst the mingled shouts, Duan Luoning was startled to see the oncoming hot flames. The next instant, he drew the sharp sword at his side. The cold air in his palm gathered on the sword blade and blocked the roaring hot flames!

971 The Match 3

By the time the burning flames dispersed, Duan Luoning was rather pale. He squinted at Dan Yifan, who was facing him. His previously relaxed attitude had vanished long ago.

This Dan Yifan's abilities far exceeded his expectations.

One should know that a few months ago, Duan Luoning had fought with the Eldest Young Master of the Si Family, Si Ye. He had defeated the latter without even drawing his sword.

He had thought that he would not be forced to use his weapon to deal with Dan Yifan. But who could have guessed…

"What's the matter? Can't take it?" Dan Yifan raised his brows and looked at the ashen Duan Luoning. His eyes were filled with arrogant amusement.

"You're pretty good. You thought you could block me with your bare hands? You're just too arrogant." Dan Yifan commented.

Duan Luoning narrowed his eyes slightly. "I was merely letting you have this move."

"Oh? You're pretty full of yourself." Dan Yifan laughed softly.

"How dare you!" Duan Luoning was enraged by the disdain in Dan Yifan's words. He immediately lifted his sword and slashed at Dan Yifan.

Dan Yifan responded deftly but unhurriedly.

Duan Luoning was disadvantaged within three to five moves. He was unable to even defend himself against Dan Yifan's attack.

The scene playing out before them confounded the confident group from the Duan Family.

They had thought that Duan Luoning could easily defeat Dan Yifan. Who would have thought that… events would take this turn.

"You from the Duan Family, weren't you very arrogant just now? How come you don't dare to even fart now!" The group from the Ye Family saw that Dan Yifan had easily beaten Duan Luoning, such that the latter could not even defend himself. They felt thoroughly vindicated.

Did the Duan Family dare to continue being arrogant?

What were their skills compared to Dan Yifan?!

The watching citizens were awed by what they saw.

They thought that Duan Luoning's abilities were already the best among the younger generation. Who would have thought that… they were nothing compared to Dan Yifan of the Ye Family.

No wonder…

Rumor had it that this Dan Yifan was considered a genius from young.

"Is that all you are capable of…" Dan Yifan looked at Duan Luoning, who was sweating profusely, and his lips curved in a mocking smile. With that, he suddenly leaped up. The inner qi in his body suddenly dispersed, and he seemed to be shrouded by burning flames.

The next instant, Dan Yifan suddenly brandished the Blazing Sun Sword in his hand. The burning flames that surrounded him seemed to gather.

Suddenly, the roar of a dragon rang out from Dan Yifan's sword breath. The burning flames that had gathered on his blade solidified into the shape of a huge dragon. The burning dragon opened its huge mouth and charged at Duan Luoning.

The air was distorted by the baking heat of the burning hot flames.

Duan Luoning was only in time to see a red glow surround him, but he could not react in time.

Boom, boom!!

A huge explosion suddenly pierced everyone's ears.

The burning dragon smashed into the dais. Sparks flew everywhere. Duan Luoning's figure flew pathetically off the dais and smashed into the pillars of the martial arts arena. He fell to the ground with a crash.

At that moment, Duan Luoning's body seemed to be burnt by flames. His clothes were all burnt black, and a large part of his face was burnt.

972 The Match 4

"Blazing Flame Sword Technique…"

The watching citizens gaped at the scene before them. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined that the Blazing Flame Sword Technique, that could only be learned within the sects, would one day be displayed before them.

"Duan Luoning, is it? You've lost this time." Dan Yifan stood proudly on the dais. His slender figure showed no sign of injury.

Everyone from the Duan Family suddenly snapped out of their trance and hurried over to help Duan Luoning, who had fallen to the ground.

They would never have imagined that Duan Luoning would be so utterly defeated!

There was not the slightest wound on Dan Yifan!

"Based on the terms of our bet, from today onward, the Duan Family must pay tribute to the Ye Family." Dan Yifan stood proudly as he sheathed the Blazing Sun Sword with a flick of his wrist.

"You…" Duan Luoning exerted himself and stood up. He glared at Dan Yifan and wanted to say something.

However…

"Today's match is not yet over. Your words are premature." A voice suddenly rang out from the martial arts arena.

Everyone within the martial arts arena looked towards the voice.

But everyone was shocked by what they saw.

Three tall figures had quietly appeared at the entrance to the martial arts arena. The person in the lead was the eldest son of the Duan Family—Duan Tianyun!

And standing behind Duan Tianyun were the Second and Third Young Masters of the Duan Family, Duan Tianrao and Duan Tianrui.

"Eldest Young Master!" The moment the group from the Duan Family saw that Duan Tianyun had appeared, their eyes lit up.

Duan Tianyun swept a glance at Duan Luoning's injuries and frowned slightly. However, he did not say anything and walked straight towards the dais.

"You are?" Dan Yifan looked at the three men who had suddenly appeared.

Duan Tianyun said, "I am Duan Tianyun from the Duan Family."

"So it's the Eldest Young Master of the Duan Family." Dan Yifan nodded slightly. "I wonder what Eldest Young Master Duan meant?"

"What did I mean? Wasn't I clear enough?" Duan Tianyun laughed coldly. "Yesterday, the Duan and Ye Families agreed to this match, but any of the younger members of the two families can participate in the match. You merely won one round, how can you determine the winner?"

Dan Yifan frowned slightly. But upon careful thought, he realized that Duan Tianyun was right.

Below the dais, Ye Qingtang was watching everything expressionlessly.

Duan Tianyun was the oldest of the Duan Family's three sons, but Duan Tianyun had a haughty and mercurial personality and had not been chosen to be the next master of the Duan Family. Instead, Second Young Master, Duan Tianrao, had won the favor of the Duan Family's master and had been selected to succeed him.

Just as Ye Qingtang was watching events unfold, a pair of eyes fell on her quietly.

"Second Brother, isn't that Ye Qingtang? Why is she back?" The Duan Family's Third Young Master, Duan Tianrui, suddenly saw Ye Qingtang's figure amidst the crowd. He spoke to his second brother, Duan Tianrao, who was standing beside him.

When Duan Tianrao heard that, he looked towards Ye Qingtang.

Duan Tianrao and Ye Qingtang had been engaged, but after Ye Qingtang's spirit root was destroyed, the engagement was broken. After that, he became engaged to the Ye Family's adopted daughter, Ye Xun.

However, something had happened on the birthday of the Ye Family's previous Great Elder. After that night, Ye Xun had vanished, and Duan Tianrao had no more contact with the Ye Family.

He only heard that Ye Qingtang had entered the Xuanling Sect a year ago, but he had not heard any more news.

973 The Match 5

Duan Tianrao had regretted it when Ye Qingtang had restored her spirit root and entered the Xuanling Sect.

However, after obtaining the Long Family's help, Duan Tianrao had rejoiced that his earlier engagement with Ye Qingtang had been broken.

So what if Ye Qingtang had entered the Xuanling Sect?

In the end, with her spirit root, she was destined to be only an outer sect disciple all her life. After he had obtained the Long Family's help, she was no longer worthy of him.

"So what if she returned? It's not a big deal." Duan Tianrao dropped his gaze. Ye Qingtang was of no concern to him at all.

His engagement with Ye Qingtang had been dissolved. Ye Xun, whom he had been engaged to later, had vanished. Now, he was on good terms with the Young Lady of the Long Family. In Duan Tianrao's eyes, only a powerful girl like her was worthy to stand by his side.

When Duan Tianrui saw that his second brother was so unconcerned, he did not pay any more attention to Ye Qingtang.

After all, the Ye Family today could not compare with their Duan Family. The Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family was, naturally, beneath them.

On the other side, Duan Tianyun had slowly ascended the dais. He looked at Dan Yifan, who was standing on the dais, and said, "Since it is a match between the younger generation of the two families, I don't mind giving it a try. You can spout your nonsense after you have beaten me."

Dan Yifan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What's the matter? Are you afraid? Or can it be…" A mocking smile flashed across Duan Tianyun's eyes. "The members of the Ye Family are cowards?"

"Let's have a match then." Dan Yifan frowned with displeasure. Every word this Duan Tianyun uttered was grating.

A smile flashed across Duan Tianyun's eyes. He unbuckled his sword in front of the audience and threw it to Duan Tianrui, who was standing below the dais.

"What do you mean by this?" Dan Yifan asked coldly when he saw what Duan Tianyun had done.

Duan Tianyun lifted his chin, looked at Dan Yifan, and said, "Do I need a sword to deal with you? My fists will do."

"What arrogance!" A cold look flashed across Dan Yifan's eyes. With that, he raised his sword and slashed at Duan Tianyun!

Duan Tianyun eyes were cold when he saw Dan Yifan charging at him with burning flames. The next second, he suddenly directed all his energy and aimed a mighty blow at Dan Yifan!

Ye Qingtang was standing below the dais, watching the two men on the dais. When she saw Dan Yifan's move, she said blandly, "Dan Yifan is no match for Duan Tianyun."

"What did you say?" The Ye Family disciples standing nearby frowned with displeasure when they heard Ye Qingtang's words.

They had all followed the Great Elder and the Third Elder into the Ye Family and were not close to the Eldest Young Lady, Ye Qingtang.

"Eldest Young Lady, Young Master Dan is fighting for our Ye Family. You may not be contributing, but you need not run off your mouth here either."

"That's right. Young Master Dan is an inner sect disciple of the Leiting Sect. How can he lose to that Duan Tianyun?"

Many of the Ye Family disciples did not like Ye Qingtang. Besides her numerous rejections of Dan Yifan's good intentions, Dan Yifan was currently fighting for the Ye Family, and it was very annoying for her to speak like that before the fight had even started.

Ye Qingtang swept a glance at the unhappy youths and refrained from further speech.

But at that moment, there was chaos on the dais.

Dan Yifan, shrouded in layers of burning flames, was sent flying by Duan Tianyun's blow!

Dan Yifan fell heavily off the dais with a loud crash. The burning flames around him seemed to be covered by a layer of frost. The baking heat was being consumed by the blasts of cold air.

974 Do You Really Want Me To Compete? 1

"The peak of the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One?" Duan Tianyun stood unharmed on the dais and looked disdainfully at Dan Yifan. His lips curled in a contemptuous smile.

"Is that all?" Duan Tianyun smirked.

There was an uproar below the dais.

No one would have imagined that Dan Yifan, who had seemed to be so powerful just now, would be injured by Duan Tianyun in just one move.

The youths from the Ye Family had been filled with confidence. But now, when they saw blood seeping from the corners of Dan Yifan's mouth, their expectant expressions seemed to freeze.

How could this be…

Dan Yifan stood up clumsily. It was as if his entire body had been soaked in icy water that was so cold it chilled his bones. Every inch of his skin was permeated with a piercing chill.

"You are merely at the peak of the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One. How dare you be so presumptuous towards our Duan Family? You are such a fool." Duan Tianyun looked at Dan Yifan coldly. The aura that surrounded him seemed to be poised to swallow the whole world.

"You have reached… Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One…" Dan Yifan looked at Duan Tianyun, who was standing before him. The aura surrounding Duan Tianyun was completely different from that of Duan Luoning. At that moment, it was evident that his power was far superior to his.

"That's right." Duan Tianyun laughed softly and raised his chin proudly.

Dan Yifan turned pale.

He was only in his teens, and among his age group, he was considered to be a rare genius. Otherwise, he could not possibly have broken through to the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One at his age.

However…

However, no matter how powerful the peak of the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level One was, it could not compare to the Second Heaven.

He would never have imagined that the Duan Family had Duan Tianyun, who was at the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One!

One must know that in the entire Ye Family, only his Grandfather and Third Elder had reached this stage.

But Duan Tianyun was so young!

"Dan Yifan is it? You seemed really confident just now. Why are you so forlorn now?" Duan Tianyun laughed softly and looked at Dan Yifan disdainfully.

Dan Yifan's expression was truly ugly.

The crowd below the dais was still in an uproar.

Although they had heard that Duan Tianyun had broken through to the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One, no one had actually seen him display his prowess, and they thought that the Duan Family had spread the rumors to confuse others.

Yet, who would have thought…

it was actually true.

At that moment, everyone looked at Dan Yifan with a rather pitying expression.

No matter how extraordinarily gifted Dan Yifan was, he was no match for Duan Tianyun.

"Have you brats from the Ye Family clearly seen the gap between you and our Duan Family?" When Duan Tianrui saw that his oldest brother had beaten the Ye Family's representative, he mocked them smugly.

The youths from the Ye Family clenched their fists tightly. They fervently wished they could tear Duan Tianrui's mouth into pieces.

"Since your skills are inferior, you better obediently crawl away. Everything will be fine as long as you obey the rules and pay your tribute. Why humiliate yourself before everyone from Lin Town like you did today?" Duan Tianrui mocked them boldly.

These grating words were like knives that carved every word onto the hearts of Ye Family's youths.

Dan Yifan took a deep breath and diligently tried to push his inner qi around his body.

"I haven't lost yet," he said coldly as he looked at Duan Tianyun.

"Oh? You won't give up? Do you really have a death wish? In that case, I'll fulfill your wish." Duan Tianyun's face was a mask of cruelty.

Below the dais, Ye Qingtang calmly shook her head as she watched the floundering Dan Yifan.

975 Do You Really Want Me To Compete? 2

Dan Yifan was pretty talented, but his ability was one level below that of Duan Tianyun. The gap between two Heavens was a deep as a ravine. No matter how hard he struggled, it was no use.

To continue would be like flogging a dead horse.

On the dais, Dan Yifan had forced his inner qi to flood his entire body. The burning flames spread through his body and swiftly dispelled the cold air surrounding him. His aura instantly surged!

"I won't lose," Dan Yifan said coldly.

But a mocking smile hung on Duan Tianyun's lips.

When the youths from the Ye Family, who were below the dais, saw Dan Yifan's suddenly rising aura, a trace of hope surfaced in their eyes.

"Come on, Young Master Dan!"

"We aren't afraid of you Duans!"

The yells rose and fell.

Ye Qingtang continued standing expressionlessly at the same spot.

"Dan Yifan should retreat," she said somewhat pityingly.

But her words were heard by the youths from the Ye Family who were standing nearby.

They looked at Ye Qingtang in wonder, but their expressions seemed to be mixed with resentment.

"Eldest Young Lady, Young Master Dan is fighting for our Ye Family. Why are you rooting for the other side!"

Ye Qingtang glanced at the youths and said, "Duan Tianyun isn't worth rooting for. He is merely average."

"…"

The youths from the Ye Family were so angered by Ye Qingtang's words that they almost vomited blood. They thought that this Eldest Young Lady was just a brainless beauty, shooting off her mouth.

The group from the Ye Family was unwilling to bandy words with Ye Qingtang. Instead, their eyes were nervously fixed on Dan Yifan, who was on the dais.

Dan Yifan mobilized the inner qi in his entire body, and a huge ball of fire suddenly brewed in his chest. The next instant, the fireball exploded and crashed towards Duan Tianyun!

However…

Without batting an eyelid, Duan Tianyun pressed his palms together. When his palms separated again, the oncoming fireball was blocked by his hands.

Icy blue cold air shot out of his palms and instantly covered the burning fireball!

The fireball that had been composed of an accumulation of roaring flames was instantly frozen by Duan Tianyun's palms into a ball of ice.

"Let me return this to you." Duan Tianyun's lips curved into a cold smile. Suddenly, his palms pushed the ball of ice so that it flew towards Dan Yifan!

Dan Yifan was shocked. He tried to receive the blow but was too weak.

The gigantic ice ball instantly crashed into him. There was the sound of ice cracking. Then, Dan Yifan's entire body was sent flying by a huge impact. He landed below the dais!

A mouthful of blood instantly sprayed out of Dan Yifan's mouth!

His chest that had been smashed by the ice ball was covered with a layer of frost. The frost visibly and rapidly spread throughout his entire body.

The youths from the Ye Family hurried over and clumsily helped Dan Yifan up.

Ye Qingtang saw the layer of frost spreading out from Dan Yifan's chest. With the tip of her finger, she drew a golden tongue of flame and secretly flicked the flame onto Dan Yifan's back.

The moment the flame sank into Dan Yifan's back, the frost that was accumulating on his chest slowly melted.

But because of the surrounding chaos, no one noticed Ye Qingtang's actions.

Duan Tianyun looked at Dan Yifan, who had collapsed on the ground. A cold smile hung from his lips. However, he was inwardly perplexed when he saw from the corner of his eye that the frost on Dan Yifan's chest showed signs of slowly melting.

976 Do You Really Want Me To Compete? 2

By right, Dan Yifan's skin should have been rapidly covered with ice toxin after being hit. Why did the ice toxin suddenly melt?

Duan Tianyun was rather perplexed but did not consider the matter further. Perhaps Dan Yifan had some life-saving Dharma treasure on him that he had brought from his sect.

With that, Duan Tianyun stood on the dais and swept a look at the ashen youths from the Ye Family. "Your Ye Family abilities are merely average. How dare you nobodies challenge the dignity of our Duan Family!"

The youths from the Ye Family all gritted their teeth and glared at Duan Tianyun, who was standing on the dais. Dan Yifan had already fainted from his injuries.

If even Dan Yifan could not compete with Duan Tianyun, how could they?!

"What's the matter? Is no one from your Ye Family willing to come up on the dais? What a useless bunch." Duan Tianyun looked dismissively at the group from the Ye Family.

The surrounding audience marveled at the sight before them.

They had thought that with Dan Yifan, the Ye Family might regain some of its status.

Who would have thought that Duan Tianyun would strip them of all their dignity?

"In the future, the Ye Family will certainly decline…"

"In the future, Lin Town will belong to the Duan Family and the Long Family."

Duan Tianyun towered over them and looked down on the group from the Ye Family. He suddenly caught a glimpse of a slender figure.

Duan Tianyun's expression flickered for a moment, and a trace of malice surfaced in his eyes. He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the figure amidst the group from the Ye Family.

"Ye Qingtang, you are the Eldest Young Lady from the Ye Family. Don't you have the courage to get onto the dais and stand up for your Ye Family?" Duan Tianyun suddenly singled Ye Qingtang out from among the crowd.

It was only then that everyone realized that the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family, Ye Qingtang, was also present.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of where Duan Tianyun pointed.

Sure enough, a slender figure was quietly standing behind the group from the Ye Family. With such a gorgeous face, it was surely the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family, Ye Qingtang!

Ye Qingtang had left Lin Town nearly two years ago. Although rumor had it that she had entered the Xuanling Sect, the entire Lin Town knew that she was a mere red spirit root.

With her ability, it was already surprising that she could enter the outer sect of the Xuanling Sect. Even if she had entered the sect, she would probably not have advanced by much.

Now, even Dan Yifan of the inner Leiting Sect had been defeated by Duan Tianyun. As an outer sect disciple, what could she do?

Ye Qingtang had not expected Duan Tianyun to pick on her. However, her face was as expressionless as ever, as if she did not realize that everyone was looking at her in an unfriendly manner.

"Are you speaking to me?" Ye Qingtang raised her eyes slightly and looked at the arrogant Duan Tianyun, who was standing on the dais.

"Of course. Aren't you the only Eldest Young Lady in the Ye Family?" Duan Tianyun raised his brows slightly, smiled, and said, "Ye Qingtang… your Ye Family has declined. The entire younger generation consists of a bunch of useless fools. As the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family, shouldn't you represent them?"

With that, Duan Tianyun glanced at his second younger brother, Duan Tianrao, who was standing below the dais.

"You were previously engaged to my second younger brother, Tianrao. Fortunately, your engagement was dissolved. Otherwise, with your abilities, how could you be worthy to enter our Duan Family? However, given our past ties, if you get up on the dais, I will be merciful and not allow you to lose too spectacularly. How about that?"

977 Do You Really Want Me To Compete? 4

The moment Duan Tianyun finished speaking, everyone recalled Duan Tianrao and Ye Qingtang's past engagement.

"What's the matter? Unwilling to compete? Or perhaps… you people from the Ye Family are just a useless bunch, as cowardly as mice. Even you, the Eldest Young Lady, are too cowardly to stand up for your Ye Family." Duan Tianyun mocked them without mincing his words. He intended to use this match to completely subjugate the Ye Family forever.

Abusing Ye Qingtang in public would completely shatter the Ye Family's dignity.

Ye Qingtang looked coldly at Duan Tianyun, who had repeatedly provoked them. Her expression was completely calm, and she asked blandly, "Do you really want me to compete?"

"What else?" Duan Tianyun laughed softly and shrugged. "But if you are afraid, it is no big deal. Your Ye Family has been utterly defeated in today's match. In the future, you just have to follow the rules and pay tribute to the Duan Family … As a start, you have to show your submission to our Duan Family in your capacity as Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family."

Malice flashed across Duan Tianyun's eyes as he spoke. He smiled and said, "If you publicly kowtow to me three times, I won't make things difficult for anyone in your Ye Family today. How about that?"

The moment Duan Tianyun spoke, the surrounding audience could not help but secretly shake their heads.

Ye Qingtang was no match for Duan Tianyun. After today, the Ye Family would probably be unable to retain their dignity.

Everyone clearly sensed that Duan Tianyun was planning to use Ye Qingtang to destroy the last shred of the Ye Family's dignity.

"Duan Tianyun, don't go too far!" When the youths from the Ye Family heard Duan Tianyun's words, they glared at him in rage.

Even though they did not like this Eldest Young Lady, Duan Tianyun was insulting the entire Ye Family.

"What's the matter? Are any of you unwilling to concede defeat? You can always come up on the dais and fight for the Ye Family." Duan Tianyun spoke boldly. "The winner takes it all. If any of you can defeat me, I can kneel and kowtow to him and publicly admit defeat. How about that? But… you Ye Family members are probably a pile of garbage without the courage and ability to do that."

"You!" The youths from the Ye Family were enraged. They fervently wished they could hack Duan Tianyun into a thousand pieces.

However…

Just as the group from the Ye Family was raging, Ye Qingtang, who had remained silent all this while, slowly stepped onto the dais.

At that moment…

Everyone below the dais fell silent. They looked in astonishment at Ye Qingtang, standing alone on the dais.

"Has Ye Qingtang really gone to compete? Is she crazy?"

"I'd say she's really foolish. She can just pretend to be deaf and flee. Why go up there and make a fool of herself…"

Everyone sighed and shook their heads when they saw the "impulsive" Ye Qingtang.

The youths from the Ye Family snapped out of their trance and hurriedly said, "Eldest Young Lady, come down now!"

Ye Qingtang was the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family, but everyone knew that she was no match for Duan Tianyun. But if she was publicly defeated by Duan Tianyun, then the Ye Family would truly be utterly embarrassed.

"Eldest Young Lady, don't be impulsive!"

The group from the Ye Family was nervous and angry.

Never mind that this Eldest Young Lady had not much ability.

Couldn't she refrain from causing trouble?!

Ye Qingtang did not seem to hear the shouts from the Ye Family group. She just stood calmly and faced Duan Tianyun.

978 Do You Really Want Me To Compete? 5

When Duan Tianrui saw Ye Qingtang seeking her own death, he laughed mockingly and said to Duan Tianrao, who was standing nearby, "Second Elder Brother, I've always said that this Ye Qingtang is rather stupid. Can she spar with Eldest Brother with her paltry skills? I'm afraid that Eldest Brother will badly maul her with just one move."

Duan Tianrao did not speak, but his expression was dismissive.

After Ye Qingtang had recovered her looks, he had thought of reconciling with her. However, she had completely ignored his overtures and, later on, had even given him many cold looks.

To the arrogant Duan Tianrao, this was an insult.

However, at that moment, Duan Tianrao was rejoicing in Ye Qingtang's actions.

If not for her actions back then, he would still be engaged to her.

And then, how could he have come into contact with the Young Lady from the Long Family?

Now, Ye Qingtang was seeking her own death. He would enjoy the show.

"Looks like you still have some courage." Duan Tianyun looked disdainfully at Ye Qingtang, who was standing in front of him. He calmly moved his flexed fingers, and the crisp sound of his popping joints could be heard.

"Don't worry. On the strength of the past relationship between our two families, I won't let you suffer too much. Since you are a girl, I'll make it short."

Ye Qingtang's face was expressionless. She looked calmly at the outstandingly arrogant Duan Tianyun.

"What's the matter? Are you too scared to talk? Never mind… then let me quickly end your terror." A cruel look flashed across Duan Tianyun's eyes. The next second, a ball of icy blue frost suddenly formed in his hand.

When the group from the Ye Family below the dais saw Duan Tianyun forming ice, their hearts sank.

Duan Tianyun had used this move previously to badly injure Dan Yifan.

Even Dan Yifan was unable to withstand this blow, much less Ye Qingtang.

"Ye Qingtang! Tremble as you feel terror descend on you!" Duan Tianyun's expression was viciously mocking. He suddenly raised his fist, and the frost in his hand smashed violently towards Ye Qingtang!

Innumerable wisps of cold air shot out together with the frost. It was as if all the moisture in the air froze instantly.

At that moment, almost all the youths from the Ye Family that were present shut their eyes tightly.

They did not dare to see what would happen next.

A resounding explosion rang in everyone's ears.

The ice and frost that smashed into Ye Qingtang's body instantly exploded in clouds of frost and shrouded the entire dais!

Duan Tianyun's lips curved in a smug smile when he saw the billowing clouds of frost. He arrogantly straightened up and cocked his head slightly. He deliberately put on a pitying expression.

"Oh how pitiful…" But before Duan Tianyun could complete his sentence, the clouds of frost that saturated the dais slowly dissipated.

A slender figure slowly emerged from the cloud of frost.

Duan Tianyun's unfinished words stuck in his throat.

He saw…

Ye Qingtang standing unharmed in her original spot amidst the cloud of frost. Her robes and accessories were all in place and had not been disturbed at all.

Wisps of chilly air were dissipating under the invisible heat rising from Ye Qingtang's body.

Ye Qingtang casually glanced at the steaming vapor that was rising from her shoulders. She calmly turned her head and gently blew the vapor away.

979 Do You Really Want Me To Compete? 6

"This… how can this be…" Duan Tianyun's eyes widened. He stared disbelievingly at Ye Qingtang, who was completely unscathed.

He had exerted his full strength in his previous blow and had not held back at all.

Even someone who was also at the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One would be injured by this blow.

However…

Why did Ye Qingtang look unscathed?

At that moment, the youths from the Ye Family all widened their eyes. They thought that Ye Qingtang would collapse, but she was currently standing upright on the dais.

All of them were momentarily stunned.

"This Ye Qingtang has probably brought some Dharma treasure back from the sect. Elder Brother, don't hold back!" Duan Tianrui, who was standing below the dais, spoke maliciously.

When he heard that, Duan Tianyun calmed down. He swept a glance at Ye Qingtang, who had not turned a hair.

"So you have a life-saving Dharma treasure. No wonder you dared to come and compete…" Duan Tianyun laughed softly. "I'm looking forward to seeing how much damage your treasure can withstand."

The moment he finished speaking, Duan Tianyun extended both hands. Wisps of cold air gathered in his palms. They instantly transformed into gossamer thin ice blades and shot straight at Ye Qingtang!

Ye Qingtang looked expressionlessly at the numerous ice blades that were flying towards her. Her eyes showed a barely perceptible trace of impatience.

The instant the ice blades reached her, a light suddenly flashed before her.

The hundreds of ice blades instantly vanished.

"What…" Duan Tianyun blinked involuntarily.

Where did his ice blades go?!

Everyone below the dais was also perplexed.

They thought that Ye Qingtang was making a fool of herself in this match. However… everything that happened was completely beyond their expectations.

"Where did my ice blades… go?" Duan Tianyun muttered.

Ye Qingtang slowly raised her hand. Crystal clear drops of water slowly dripped from her slender fingers and formed tiny streaks of water at her feet.

"Are you looking for these?" Ye Qingtang asked calmly.

"Wh… What?" Duan Tianyun had not yet recovered his wits and did not understand what Ye Qingtang was talking about.

Ye Qingtang looked at the stunned Duan Tianyun. The impatience in her eyes became more obvious.

"Time to end this," said Ye Qingtang.

The crowd below the dais looked in bewilderment at Ye Qingtang, who had spoken suddenly. None of them understood where she had acquired the ability to speak of making an end.

Duan Tianyun also felt that Ye Qingtang had gone crazy.

Did she really think she was a match for him?

"Ye Qingtang, don't reject a life-saving offer. If not for the fact that you are a girl, you would have already died a terrible death at my hands!" Duan Tianyun laughed coldly. His figure suddenly darted towards Ye Qingtang. His body was instantly covered in a layer of frost, and a strong chill flooded his entire body.

Ye Qingtang looked expressionlessly at Duan Tianyun, who was rushing towards her, and slowly raised her right hand.

The instant Duan Tianyun reached her, Ye Qingtang gave Duan Tianyun's forehead a light and perfunctory tap.

Thud!!

A huge crash suddenly rang out in the martial arts arena.

With that resounding crash, Duan Tianyun's imposing figure flew straight out, smashing numerous walls in the martial arts arena into smithereens. No one knew where he had landed.

980 Death Wish 1

A dead silence fell over the entire martial arts arena.

Everyone stared disbelievingly at the huge holes that had been smashed in the walls.

At that moment, there was no sign of Duan Tianyun on the dais. Only Ye Qingtang was left.

"You've lost." Ye Qingtang acted as if nothing had happened. She swept a glance at the stunned group from the Duan Family. She slowly walked off the dais under the flabbergasted gaze of everyone present.

"Eldest… Eldest Brother?!!!" Duan Tianrui suddenly snapped out of his trance and hurriedly led the group in the direction in which Duan Tianyun had been sent flying.

Only Duan Tianrao was left below the dais in a daze. He looked at the detached figure, his face full of disbelief.

What had happened just now?

No one present was certain of what had happened on the dais just now.

Why was Duan Tianyun suddenly sent flying?!

They were unable to see any indication of what Ye Qingtang had done.

Much less the Duan Family and the other citizens of Lin Town.

Even the youths from the Ye Family were rather stunned.

No one was certain of how Ye Qingtang had done it.

But… even if they had seen it clearly, no one would believe that the omnipotent Duan Tianyun, who had the power of the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One…

Would be sent flying by a flick of Ye Qingtang's fingers.

"Why are you still gaping here? Shouldn't you go back?" Ye Qingtang said slowly as she looked at the stunned group from the Ye Family. With that, she took the lead and walked out of the martial arts arena.

Only then did the youths from the Ye Family recover their wits. Although they were completely bewildered, with Dan Yifan's injuries in mind, they had no choice but to rush him back to the Ye House to recuperate.

But…

Had they really won?

At that moment, the youths from the Ye Family looked rather dazed.

The Ye Family, followed by the Duan Family, left the large martial arts arena. Only the watching citizens who had personally witnessed these events remained.

Although they had personally witnessed everything, it was as if they had seen nothing.

Who would have expected this match to have so many twists and turns?

…

Ye Qingtang was the first to reach the Ye House. In the Ye House, the various elders and Ye Ling were already waiting in the main hall. The outcome of that day's match was of utmost importance to them.

They saw the main gate of the Ye House suddenly open, and they all turned their gazes towards it. However, only Ye Qingtang walked in.

With that, the Great Elder and Third Elder could not help but look disappointed.

However, a moment later, the majority of the Ye Family members also followed.

The Great Elder rose, and his heart filled with anticipation when he suddenly realized that his grandson was being carried back by the united efforts of the group.

The Great Elder's face immediately drained of blood. He hastened over, and Third Elder and the rest hurriedly followed.

"What's the matter? What on earth has happened? How was Yifan… injured so badly?" The Great Elder was desperately worried when he saw Dan Yifan, who was being carried back by two youths from the Ye Family.

Dan Yifan had already sunk into a faint. His handsome face was bloodless and ashen. Traces of dried blood could still be seen at the corner of his mouth.

Ye Ling waited for the youths to walk over. He was also shocked to see the extent of Dan Yifan's injuries.

They were well aware of Dan Yifan's abilities and had thought that this match would not present him with any great difficulties.

Yet, who would have thought…

Dan Yifan would be so badly injured.

"What on earth has happened? Who injured him?" Ye Ling asked with a frown.

The youths from the Ye Family seemed rather dazed and only snapped out of their trance and replied at Ye Ling's shout. "It was… the Eldest Young Master of the Duan Family, Duan Tianyun."

"Duan Tianyun?" Ye Ling and the others were all taken aback.

One should know that Duan Tianyun was the most powerful among the younger members of the Duan Family. However, Duan Tianyun had not acted before, so they had subconsciously overlooked his existence and thought that Duan Tianyun would not participate in this match.

"How could it be Duan Tianyun? Wasn't it Duan Luoning who sparred with Yifan?" The Great Elder asked hurriedly.

The youths from the Ye Family said, "It is true that Duan Luoning issued the challenge. At first, it was Duan Luoning who stepped onto the dais with Young Master Dan. Young Master Dan even beat Duan Luoning. But Duan Tianyun suddenly entered the arena and stepped up onto the dais in his capacity as a Duan Family member… Young Master Dan had no choice but to take him on… Who knew that Duan Tianyun would be so vicious and give no quarter."

The youths from the Ye Family were enraged when they recalled Duan Tianyun's viciousness during the match. Duan Tianyun had not just been interested in winning; he had been out to kill.

"That Duan Tianyun! He's so vicious!" The Great Elder's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He wished he could tear Duan Tianyun into pieces.

"Now is not the time for this. Yifan has been badly injured. We should quickly find someone to treat him," said Ye Ling with a frown.

They had not expected Duan Tianyun to appear.

They had thought that the Ye Family would certainly win this round.

Yet, who would have imagined that an accident like that would happen?

Now, they could already guess the conclusion without asking for further details.

Among the younger members of the Ye Family, Dan Yifan was the most powerful.

Now, even Dan Yifan had been defeated by Duan Tianyun. The Ye Family had probably lost.

Since they already had an idea of what had happened, Ye Ling and the others did not ask any more questions. Since they could not change the outcome, they would try their best to cut their losses.

The Great Elder hurriedly ordered someone to send Dan Yifan for treatment while Ye Ling told the other youths from the Ye Family to rest for the time being.

The youths were all dazed, as if thinking of something. They glanced at Ye Qingtang from time to time, and their expressions were complicated.

"The Duan Family came prepared. Duan Luoning's challenge was only meant to bait them out. They were probably prepared from the start for Duan Tianyun to act." Ye Ling took a deep breath and involuntarily thought of their previous agreement with the Duan Family.

If they lost this fight, the Ye Family would have to pay tribute to the Duan Family.

"The Duan Family's plan was truly malicious. No matter how we considered the matter, we overlooked this point. Come to think of it, they did not allow Duan Tianyun to act so that we would let down our guard, but we were careless to have fallen into their trap!" Second Elder thumped the table heavily.

"With this defeat, our Ye Family will suffer severe losses…" Third Elder sighed softly.

The Great Elder's expression was extremely ugly. His grandson had been badly injured, and they had fallen into the Duan Family's trap. How could he not hate them?

"Since this is the reality, then we had better be prepared. Otherwise, the Duan Family will use it as an excuse to create trouble, and who knows how far they will take matters," Third Elder said helplessly. They had no choice but to admit that they had lost the bet.

Ye Qingtang, who had been standing by the side all this while, could not help but be rendered speechless when she saw her father's and the various elders' mournful looks.

She could tell.

They thought that the Ye Family had lost the match.

However…

They had not even asked about it.

"Father…" Ye Qingtang felt that she needed to have a good talk with her father about this matter.

But Ye Ling suddenly interrupted Ye Qingtang and said, "Tang Tang, you can see the current situation in the Ye Family. You should start your journey back to the Xuanling Sect today. You are not to concern yourself with whatever happens next. As your father, I only hope you can live peacefully within the sect."

Even Dan Yifan was unable to turn the Ye Family's current situation around. If Ye Qingtang continued to stay here, who knew how many other matters would arise for her to worry over?

"…" Could she just finish her sentence?

"Actually, in this match, our Ye Family…" Ye Qingtang continued.

"Eldest Young Lady, the Master has spoken sensibly. You should return to the Xuanling Sect first. After Yifan recovers from his injuries, I will also ask him to return to the Leiting Sect." The Great Elder sighed softly and helplessly.

Since matters had reached this stage, they had no choice but to accept their fate.

"…" Was it so hard for her to finish a sentence?

Ye Qingtang could not help but feel a little frustrated. She was about to blurt out the outcome to Ye Ling and the others when someone suddenly kicked open the front door of the Ye House.

A few Ye Family guards nervously ran in, their faces pale, and said, "Master, Elders, something terrible has happened. The Master of the Duan Family is at the door!"

"What!" Ye Ling and the others were all stunned.

"The Duan Family is truly impatient. They've come knocking without delay." The Second Elder laughed coldly.

"I would like to see what other tricks the Duan Family has up its sleeve!" The Great Elder's expression was somber. Dan Yifan's injuries had filled him with hatred for the Duan Family.

With that, the Great Elder led the way by standing up and walking towards the front yard.

Ye Ling and the others followed.

Ye Qingtang, who had been continually interrupted, could only speechlessly watch the departing figures of the crowd.

Was it so difficult to let her finish her sentence!!

The commotion in the front yard had alarmed many members of the Ye Family. The younger members who had just gone to rest now hurried back.

The Master of the Duan Family, Duan Yangjing, was standing somberly in the front yard on Ye Family territory. Behind him stood various elders from the Duan Family, Duan Tianrao, and Duan Tianrui.

"Ye Ling, come out!" Duan Yangjing stepped forward and roared fiercely.

When Ye Ling and the others reached the front yard and saw Duan Yangjing and the others who had come with ill intention, their expressions grew grave.

"Duan Yangjing, don't go too far. You are now in Ye Family territory. You people from the Duan Family better behave yourselves!" Ye Ling coldly berated them.

"Behave? You Ye Family people dare to talk to me of behaving! If you don't give us a good explanation today, I might even lead men and exterminate the Ye Family!" Duan Yangjing glared ferociously at Ye Ling. His eyes were so bloodshot they almost seemed to be dripping blood.

When Ye Ling and the others saw Duan Yangjing's murderous expression, they maintained their dignity but could not help but grumble inwardly.

What was the matter with this Duan Yangjing?

Why did he bring so many people to come knocking?

Even if the Duan Family won this match, they should not behave like that.

Duan Yangjing looked as if he wanted to eat them alive.

"Duan Yangjing, what do you mean?" Ye Ling spoke carefully. In the past, their Ye Family would certainly not be afraid of an attack from the Duan Family.

But in the past year, it was not just the younger members of the Duan Family who had rapidly improved in terms of ability with the help of the Long Family. Even the elders and Duan Yangjing had also improved rapidly.

Approximately a year ago, Duan Yangjing's ability had been comparable to that of Second Elder. But now, he had broken through to the peak of the Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level One and was a mere step away from Martial Qi Level Two.

Even the elders of the Duan Family had all achieved the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One.

The Ye Family currently could not counteract this kind of fighting strength.

"What do I mean? Ye Ling, hand your daughter over!" Duan Yangjing said coldly.

"What?" Ye Ling was startled.

His daughter?

"Are you still acting dumb? If you don't hand Ye Qingtang over to me today, our Duan Family will slaughter your entire Ye Family!" threatened Duan Yangjing.

"Duan Yangjing, my daughter just returned to Lin Town yesterday. She doesn't know anything. Why make things difficult for her? If you have any grievances, you can come after me." Ye Ling would not budge an inch in matters concerning Ye Qingtang.

He did not understand what the matter was with Duan Yangjing to make the latter aggressively demand him to hand over his daughter.

"Don't know anything? Ye Ling, don't treat me like a fool! Today, your daughter, Ye Qingtang, severely injured my son Tianyun in the martial arts arena. If you don't hand Ye Qingtang over today, you won't be allowed to leave the Ye House at all!!" Duan Yangjing roared.

The three elders of the Ye Family and Ye Ling were all stunned by Duan Yangjing's words.

"Wh… What?" Ye Ling thought he must have heard wrong. Otherwise, it must Duan Yangjing who had gone crazy.

Tang Tang had severely injured Duan Tianyun?

What kind of joke was this?

"Duan Tianyun, you're the villain here. Don't you dare make the first complaint! It was Duan Tianyun from the Duan Family who severely wounded my grandson, Dan Yifan. My grandson is now still lying unconscious on the sickbed, but you're here to shift the blame instead!" The Great Elder went forward and berated them.

What kind of ability did Ye Qingtang have?

She was merely a red spirit root and had just entered the Xuanling Sect a year ago. How could she possibly have the ability to severely injure Duan Tianyun, who had attained the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One?!

The Duan Family was clearly maligning her!

Duan Yangjing casually pointed to Duan Tianrao and Duan Tianrui, who were standing nearby.

"Tell the Ye Family what you saw at the martial arts arena."

Duan Tianrui immediately said, "I saw Ye Qingtang injure my older brother with my own eyes. My older brother had beaten Dan Yifan, but Ye Qingtang suddenly and unexpectedly challenged my older brother. She fought viciously and severely injured my older brother."

"It's not just me. Even those members of your Ye Family who were present would have witnessed it too." Duan Tianrui pointed at the youths from the Ye Family, who were standing in the front yard.

"What happened?" Ye Ling frowned slightly and looked at the youths.

These youths had been frightened out of their wits by the conclusion of the match and had forgotten to report to the Master. Now that they were publicly questioned, they recounted how Ye Qingtang had beaten Duan Tianyun.

The expressions of Ye Ling and the three elders grew increasingly bemused as the youths spoke.

They thought they had lost the match.

Had the Ye Family actually won?

"Now that matters have reached this state, what do you have to say for yourselves?" Duan Yangjing looked coldly at everyone from the Ye Family.

Even he had been completely taken aback by the news he had just heard.

He had flown into a rage when he saw Duan Tianyun being carried back by Duan Family members.

The injuries that Duan Tianyun had sustained throughout his body were unusually severe. The bones throughout his body had been crushed. Although Duan Yangjing had invited numerous famous doctors to treat Duan Tianyun, the results had caused Duan Yangjing to break down.

Duan Tianyun's injuries had extended to his organs and affected his veins. Even if he recovered, he would probably be crippled. In the future, it would be impossible for him to continue his martial arts cultivation, much less return to the peak of the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One.

Ye Ling and the elders exchanged looks. Even with the youths from the Ye Family as witnesses, they still found it hard to accept the situation. However, it looked like they would have no time to ponder how Ye Qingtang had severely injured Duan Tianyun.

In the face of Duan Yangjing's aggressive stance, Ye Ling blandly spoke.

"The Duan Family was the first to suggest this match. Fights are dangerous, and injuries are common on the dais… Not only was someone from your Duan Family injured, but someone from our Ye Family was also severely injured. What is there to say?"

"Rubbish!" Duan Yangjing bellowed coldly. "Your Ye Family skills are inferior, so it's not surprising you sustained injuries. But my son is so talented, how could your daughter, Ye Qingtang, have injured him so severely! Today, I will make Ye Qingtang pay an eye for an eye."

Duan Yangjing's unreasonableness infuriated the Ye Family.

Did they mean that the people from the Duan Family counted as human beings but not those from the Ye Family?

"Duan Yangjing, don't go too far!" Ye Ling shouted coldly. He drew the sword at his side with a ringing sound.

The three elders behind him also drew their swords.

"Go too far?" Duan Yangjing laughed coldly. A malicious gleam suddenly flashed across his eyes. "So what if I'm bullying you today? Men, even if you have to completely overturn the Ye Family, you must capture Ye Qingtang today!"

At Duan Yangjing's command, the group of Duan Family members behind him immediately drew their swords and faced off with the group from the Ye Family.

The youths from the Ye Family saw that things had gone awry and prepared for battle.

"I heard that… you want to capture me?" A clear female voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

The moment she finished speaking, Ye Qingtang slowly walked out from behind the group from the Ye Family.

"Tang Tang?" Ye Ling was startled when he saw his daughter suddenly move forward.

Ye Qingtang gave Ye Ling a placating look and walked to face the group from the Duan Family.

"Ye Qingtang, you've finally appeared!" Duan Yangjing looked at Ye Qingtang, who had emerged from the crowd. His bloodshot eyes looked at her as if he wanted to flay her alive.

"Oh?" Ye Qingtang looked expressionlessly at the furious Duan Yangjing.

"Men, capture Ye Qingtang!" Duan Yangjing shouted.

"Let's see who dares to try!" Ye Ling stepped in front of Ye Qingtang, and the group from the Ye Family also advanced a step.

"Father, let me deal with this." Ye Qingtang placed her hand on Ye Ling's shoulder and spoke calmly.

Ye Ling hesitated, but Ye Qingtang had already walked in front of Ye Ling. Her calm eyes swept across the group from the Duan Family.

"You wish to avenge Duan Tianyun?" said Ye Qingtang.

"You've injured my son. Of course I want your life as compensation," said Duan Yangjing coldly.

"My life?" Ye Qingtang looked at Duan Yangjing. "I'm afraid you won't be able to take that."

Without waiting for Duan Yangjing to reply, Ye Qingtang said without consulting anyone, "Enough nonsense. Since you want revenge, all of you should come at me at the same time."

"What?"

Ye Qingtang's words surprised everyone.

"Tang Tang, you mustn't be impulsive!" Ye Ling was shocked.

The group from the Duan Family were enraged by Ye Qingtang's arrogant words. With that, an elder from the Duan Family leaped up and struck a blow at Ye Qingtang.

"Little girl, how dare you boast!"

Ye Qingtang lifted her head slightly and saw the Duan Family elder leaping towards her. She slowly lifted her hand and met his palm with her own palm!

There was a huge bang!

When the two palms met, the crisp sound of a bone breaking could be heard from the Duan Family elder's arm.

There was the sound of an explosion, and the shards of white bone pierced through the skin of his arm. He was instantly sent flying by the force of the impact.

But Ye Qingtang stood motionlessly at her original spot. Her upraised palm was completely unharmed.

The faint smell of blood permeated the front yard of the Ye House.

Ye Ling and the others widened their eyes in disbelief as they looked at the Duan Family Elder, who had collapsed onto the ground.

This elder was at the mid-stage of the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level One. Outside of the Long Family, few people in the entire Lin Town was a match for him.

However…

His entire arm had been rendered useless by one blow of Ye Qingtang's palm?

"I said, you should all come at me at the same time… don't you understand?" Ye Qingtang looked coldly at the Duan Family elder, who had collapsed to the ground with a broken arm.

The group from the Duan Family looked in shock at the Duan Family elder who had collapsed to the ground, their eyes full of disbelief.

How could this be…

"Kill her!" Duan Yangjing bellowed.

The moment he finished speaking, the group from the Duan Family rushed forward and pounced on Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang stood motionless in her original spot, looking at the group from the Duan Family that was rushing forward. Her eyes were expressionless. As the group rushed up, she suddenly raised her eyes, which had been slightly lowered.

The moment she lifted her eyes, an intangible aura suddenly burst from her body.

Boom, boom!!

There was an ear-splitting crash. Before the men from the Duan Family even knew what was happening, the intangible force sent them flying in all directions while they were still in mid-air!

In a blink of an eye, the men from the Duan Family were scattered throughout the Ye House courtyard. Each of them spat out a mouthful of fresh blood when they landed on the ground.

Even Duan Yangjing, the most powerful of the Duan Family, who had reached the peak of the Third Heaven of Martial Qi Level One collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. A column of blood sprayed from his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, everyone from the Duan Family had been utterly defeated.

The front yard of the Ye House was a sea of weeping and wailing.

Ye Ling and the three elders were completely stunned.

They gaped at the group from the Duan Family who had collapsed on the ground. They had no idea what had just happened.

Why had all of them collapsed onto the ground, heavily injured, when Ye Qingtang had not even moved?

Ye Qingtang shook her head blandly when she saw the men from the Duan Family, who had collapsed on the ground. Then without consulting anyone, she walked towards Duan Yangjing.

At that moment, the previously aggressive Duan Yangjing who had been baying for blood was lying on the floor, his face ashen.

"I forgot something just now." Ye Qingtang faced Duan Yangjing. Her eyes were slightly lowered, and from her vantage point, she looked at Duan Yangjing, who had fallen to the ground.

"Your son, Duan Tianyun, said on the dais that if he lost, he would publicly kowtow to me three times," Ye Qingtang said unhurriedly. "However, he probably can't get up right now. In that case…"

Ye Qingtang suddenly raised her hand, caught hold of Duan Yangjing's collar, and lifted him off the ground.

"As his father, you should do it in his stead."

With that, Ye Qingtang did not give Duan Yangjing any time to react and simply shattered Duan Yangjing's kneecap with a kick. She pressed Duan Yangjing's head down and smashed it against the floor with a crash.

"One."

"You bastard! Ye Qingtang, I'll kill you!!" Duan Yangjing, who was pressed to the ground, had never been humiliated like that.

Crash!

Ye Qingtang lifted Duan Yangjing's head up and then smashed it on the ground again!

"Two."

Duan Yangjing's face had been heavily smashed on the ground twice in succession. His nose bridge had already been smashed to smithereens. Large patches of blood trickled out of his wound onto the ground.

But Ye Qingtang did not seem to notice. She lifted Duan Yangjing's head up and smashed it onto the ground again!

Crash!

There was another heavy thump. Duan Yangjing's face was pressed into a depression in the ground. His body twitched a few times, but he did not make another sound.

"Three…" Ye Qingtang straightened up at the last count. Her gaze swept across the faces of the other members of the Duan Family, who had all collapsed on the ground.

The moment Ye Qingtang's gaze passed over them, they felt a chill spreading throughout their bodies.

"Who else wants revenge?" Ye Qingtang looked at the members of the Duan Family.

The Duan Family members did not dare to even emit a peep.

"Based on the rules, the Duan Family must henceforth pay tribute to the Ye Family every month. Isn't that right?" Ye Qingtang repeated her question when she saw that no one had replied.

The Duan Family members looked at Duan Yangjing, who had fallen to the ground. They could not tell if he was dead or alive. No one dared to refuse. They all nodded vigorously, each afraid that they would be next.

Ye Qingtang looked at the group from the Duan Family and said, "Scram!"

With that, the Duan Family did not dare linger around any longer. They stood up clumsily and dragged the half-dead Duan Yangjing up from the ground. Then, they hurriedly slunk away from the Ye House.

The Ye Family members only snapped out of their trance when everyone from the Duan Family had left.

"Tang Tang, you…" Ye Ling looked at his daughter, both surprised and pleased.

"Father, these matters are not urgent. I have not had a chance to have a good talk with you since my return. I have some things here that the family might find useful." Ye Qingtang looked at Ye Ling and sighed inwardly. When she had returned yesterday, she had wanted to have a good chat with her father and also distribute some items in her space ring to everyone in the Ye Family.

But before Ye Ling and the others could comprehend the implications of Ye Qingtang's words, Ye Qingtang had already opened her space ring. She reached inside…

Cling… Clang…

Ye Qingtang pulled out a pile of weapons. She did not look at them closely and just stuffed a few of them in Ye Ling's hand.

When everyone from the Ye Family glanced at them, they almost fainted from shock.

The weapons that Ye Qingtang had casually handed over were all divine weapons of yellow grade or above!

"Tang Tang, these things…" Before Ye Ling could finish speaking, Ye Qingtang simply pulled out another pile. When she saw that Ye Ling's hands were full, she turned and stuffed them into Second Elder's hands.

Another pile of yellow-grade weapons…

Ye Qingtang pulled out three or four piles. Her father's and the three elders' hands were all full.

"And here are some elixirs. They are quite effective in improving your powers. Father, take them and distribute them to everyone." With that, Ye Qingtang pulled a pile of elixirs out of her space ring and stuffed them in the hands of a youth from the Ye Family.

987 Rare Treasure 2

The youth's eyes popped out as he looked at the elixirs that had been stuffed into his arms. His legs went soft when he glanced at them.

Even though he had never seen these elixirs in real life, he had heard of them in legends.

Even the most stupid person could progress through several levels within a few days just by gulping down these elixirs.

Everyone from the Ye Family knew the value of the items that Ye Qingtang had taken out of her space ring. They all widened their eyes in disbelief.

All these items were surpassingly precious. To the Ye Family, every weapon was a top-grade divine weapon that they seldom saw in everyday life.

If even the most ordinary disciple from the Ye Family wielded it in battle, his martial skills would advance swiftly, probably by more than one level.

"Are these… premium yellow-grade weapons?"

The Great Elder looked at Ye Qingtang in shock. In Lin Town, even the half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord of the Long Family only had a superior yellow-grade weapon. He had certainly never owned a premium yellow-grade divine weapon.

However, Ye Qingtang had brought out ten weapons.

"Tang Tang… you…"

Ye Ling gaped at Ye Qingtang. He was momentarily speechless.

Only then did everyone from the Ye Family realize why Ye Qingtang had shown no interest when Dan Yifan had tried to give her his sword…

It was because Ye Qingtang had so many yellow-grade divine weapons!

"Qingtang, where… did you get these treasures?" Ye Ling spoke in a shocked tone after a moment.

Even if Ye Qingtang had only brought out just one item, it would probably incite all the martial arts cultivators in Lin Town to strive for it with all their might.

But before Ye Qingtang could explain, the Third Elder's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "It is rumored that the Xuanling Sect that Eldest Young Lady is in has a mystic realm… Could it be that Eldest Young Lady has passed the test for the mystic realm and entered it to obtain a great destiny?!"

When they heard the Third Elder's guess, everyone in the Ye Family was suddenly enlightened. It was probably as the Third Elder had said. The destinies in a sect's mystic realm were said to be incredible. Even black-grade divine weapons existed, much less premium yellow-grade divine weapons!

"Um… something like that." Ye Qingtang did not protest and simply went along with what the Third Elder had said.

Actually, the Third Elder was not too far off the mark. Ye Qingtang had gotten lucky at the Hundred Level of the Hell of Avicinaraka, where numerous powerful cultivators from sects had been killed or injured. It was almost the same as having obtained a destiny from a sect's mystic realm.

"No wonder… no wonder the Eldest Young Lady could single-handedly defeat the Duan Family…" The Great Elder looked at Ye Qingtang meaningfully.

Based on Ye Qingtang's abilities and cultivation as an outer sect disciple, it was simply out of the question for her to defeat the current Duan Family.

However, if Ye Qingtang had entered the sect's mystic realm and obtained some great destiny and various Dharma treasures, then it was entirely possible for her to single-handedly defeat the Duan Family…

"Ai… Eldest Young Lady, although all these are divine items, the combined strength of the Long Family is just too great… The half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord is near invincible, not to mention the other Martial Qi Level Two and Three cultivators in the Long Family. I'm afraid that if the Long Family catches sight of these treasures, it will lead to the extermination of our Ye Family…" Third Elder sighed while looking at Ye Qingtang.

When they heard the Third Elder's words, the Great Elder and a few of the senior members of the Ye Family also looked worried.

988 Rare Treasure 3

The Duan Family was the Long Family's lackey. Every action had its consequences; when one beat a dog, one must answer to its master. Previously, Ye Qingtang had entered the match in her capacity as a member of the younger generation and defeated a younger member of the Duan Family. This was excusable, and others would have no grounds for accusing her.

However, Ye Qingtang had now taught the entire Duan Family a vicious lesson. Given the vengeful nature of the Duan Family, they would certainly not let it go. If the Long Family also got involved, the consequences were unthinkable.

To the Ye Family, the divine treasures that Ye Qingtang had taken out of her space ring were like hot potatoes.

Ye Qingtang swept a glance at everyone. Did this mean that they were blaming her?

"Ai, Eldest Young Lady, I'm afraid we aren't fortunate enough to own these treasures. Considering how you treated the Duan Family today, the Long Family will certainly make an appearance… Why don't we hand these treasures over to the Long Family first? That would be better than the Ye Family being exterminated," said the Third Elder.

Although everyone in the Ye Family was extremely unwilling to follow the Third Elder's suggestion, it was presently the most appropriate plan.

With these treasures in hand, their abilities would increase so greatly in a short span of time that they would be vastly different from their past selves. But no matter how powerful they were, they were still no match to the Long Family.

If they were unwilling to hand the treasures over, the Long Family would snatch them away. Then, they might lose their lives, not to mention their possessions. After weighing the pros and cons, the Third Elder's plan seemed to be the most reliable.

"Hmph, how can we just give these treasures to the Long Family for no reason? If we do that, what kind of standing will the Ye Family have?" The Second Elder shouted coldly.

"That's right." The Great Elder nodded and chimed in, "The Duan Family went too far and even severely injured my grandson. If our Ye Family now hands all these Dharma treasures over, we will have no reputation left!"

"Great Elder, of course I understand what you are thinking…" The Third Elder looked at the Great Elder and the Second Elder and said, "If we retain these treasures, they can indeed cause our martial arts abilities to span several levels. It will be an easy matter to crush the Duan Family and their ilk. But can we depend on these treasures to oppose the Long Family?! Ultimately, which is more important: the treasures or our lives?"

"So what. If worse comes to worst, we will fight the Long Family to death!" shouted the Great Elder.

"Great Elder, I know you are angry because your grandson was injured. But let go of your anger. Opposing the Long Family is like using an egg to smash a rock. Even if we die, they won't be harmed." The Third Elder sighed.

At present, all Ye Family disciples, including the majority of the senior members of the Ye Family, all agreed with the Third Elder. They were willing to offer the treasures that Ye Qingtang had brought to the Long Family.

"Are you making this decision without consulting me? These things belong to me." Ye Qingtang swept a glance at the Ye Family's disciples and senior members before speaking calmly.

When they heard that, one of the senior members of the Ye Family frowned and said, "Eldest Young Lady, what are you saying? If you had not forced the Duan Family's hand, would we need to do this?"

"That's right. Eldest Young Lady, even if you have entered the Sect's mystic realm and obtained a great destiny, you cannot possibly oppose the Long Family. Furthermore, the Duan Family is the Long Family's lackey. You are well aware of all these facts, but you still battered the Duan Family without restraint. Aren't you aware of the consequences? As the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family, what you said is truly disappointing!"

989 The Long Family 1

As a few of the Ye Family members spoke coldly, many of the Ye Family disciples started to discuss the matter among themselves.

"Although Ye Qingtang is powerful, her power depends on the treasures obtained from the mystic realm. It was pretty good for her to be able to crush the Duan Family, but opposing the Long Family… that's a joke!"

"That's right. As the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family, she clearly knew the relationship between the Duan Family and the Long Family but still relied on the treasures she obtained from the mystic realm to humiliate the Duan Family. She wasn't just humiliating the Duan Family, she was trying to exterminate the Ye Family!"

"Hmph… Ye Qingtang still can't bear to let go of her treasure at this point. She doesn't care if the Ye Family is exterminated!"

A few of the Ye Family disciples looked resentfully at Ye Qingtang.

At that moment, Ye Ling's expression was extremely gloomy. If his daughter was really like that, would she have distributed the treasures to everyone in the Ye Family?!

"Shut up, everyone!" Ye Ling shouted coldly.

However, before Ye Ling could say anything more, a few young men and women strolled to the front door of the Ye House.

Among them was a man dressed in white, with a cold and arrogant demeanor. It was Duan Tianrao, who had doubled back after leaving with the Duan Family.

Standing in front of Duan Tianrao was a girl in red who carried an aloof expression. The girl had also brought along two maidservants.

"Young Lady of the Long Family… Long Rui?!"

Everyone in the Ye Family was shocked when they saw the girl in red.

The girl in red's name was Long Rui, and she was the beloved daughter of the Master of the Long Family. Furthermore, her ability had entered the realm of the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level Two, and she was the most outstanding supernaturally talented person in the Long Family!

Duan Tianrao was currently sweeping a glance around him. When he saw the Ye Family shrink back, he glanced at Ye Qingtang with a trace of smugness.

Fortunately, he had made a clean break with Ye Qingtang previously, and Ye Xun had also suddenly disappeared. Otherwise, he would not have had the immense good fortune of meeting Long Rui and have the hope of becoming the Long Family's high-ranking son-in-law.

Ye Qingtang could never compare with his Long Rui, whether in terms of family background, martial arts ability, or talent. It was almost as if they were from two different worlds.

"The presence of the Young Lady from the Long Family is a great honor for our humble Ye House…" The Third Elder looked at Long Rui smilingly.

However, before Long Rui could speak, one of the Long Family's maidservants said, "Who is Ye Qingtang!"

When they heard that, everyone from the Ye Family was shocked. Could it because of the incident with the Duan Family…

"May I ask… why are you looking for the Eldest Young Lady of our Ye Family…" The Third Elder asked gingerly.

"Enough nonsense!" The maidservant of the Long Family shouted coldly. "I'll ask the questions, and you'll answer. Who is Ye Qingtang!"

"You're looking for me."

Ye Qingtang spoke first without giving the Third Elder an opportunity to reply.

"You are Ye Qingtang!" The maidservant from the Long Family looked Ye Qingtang over coldly with an attitude of superiority. Her eyes were full of disdain.

"Your Ye Family is really bold!" The maidservant from the Long Family suddenly shouted coldly. "Doesn't the Ye Family know about the relationship between the Duan Family and the Long Family? What gave you the courage to condone this reckless and contemptible buffoon from your family, who provoked the Duan Family!"

"This…"

At that moment, everyone from the Ye Family looked at each other, unsure of how to reply.

"A misunderstanding… there must be a misunderstanding. It is not what you think…"

"That's right. Our Young Lady has just returned. She hasn't been in Lin Town for two years and did not know the rules… We hope the Long Family won't blame her!"

A group of senior members from the Ye Family hurried forward to explain matters.

990 The Long Family 2

"Is this your so-called ex-fiancée?"

Long Rui, who had not spoken until then, suddenly looked at Duan Tianrao, who was standing in front of her.

She had naturally heard about Duan Tianrao's past since her arrival in Lin Town.

Duan Tianrao smiled helplessly when he heard Long Rui's words.

"Which of us is better?" asked Long Rui.

"Rui'er, how can you lower yourself by comparing yourself to her? I don't know what my parents saw in her… both of you are from different worlds," said Duan Tianrao as he looked at Long Rui.

Veins immediately popped out on Ye Ling's forehead. No matter what, Duan Tianrao had been his daughter's ex-fiancé. Even though the engagement had been dissolved, he should not treat her like that…

However, Ye Ling did not dare to say anything in front of the Long Family, for fear that something he said might lead to the Ye Family being exterminated.

"Ye Qingtang, why aren't you kneeling!"

With that, the maidservant from the Long Family looked at Ye Qingtang and shouted at her coldly.

"You… want me to kneel?" Ye Qingtang's lips curved slightly in a trace of a bemused smile, as if she had just heard the world's funniest joke.

"Why, do you dare to refuse?!"

The eyes of the two maidservants from the Long Family glittered coldly.

All the senior members of the Ye Family quavered at this scene.

"Everyone from the Long Family, please don't be angry. The Eldest Young Lady of our Ye Family was in the wrong. Of course she should kneel and apologize, of course she should!"

"That's right, we will certainly make the Eldest Young Lady apologize and give the Long Family a satisfactory account!"

A few senior members of the Ye Family spoke ingratiatingly while cold sweat seeped from their brows.

"That would naturally be the best, so that we won't have to waste time," one of the maidservants from the Long Family said.

"Eldest Young Lady, this is the Young Lady of the Long Family… We cannot afford to offend them. Just kneel and apologize. I'm sure the Long Family will be gracious and drop the matter."

"Qingtang, please don't be impulsive. If you don't kneel, not just the Ye Family, but even you will not leave Lin Town alive!"

"Eldest Young Lady, it's just kneeling for an apology… in any case, you were in the wrong in this case. If you were showing off in the match between the Duan Family and the Ye Family, then you should have left it at that. Now, even the Master of the Duan Family has been… hurry up and kneel to Miss Long Rui and these two young ladies from the Long Family and admit your guilt!"

All the senior members of the Ye Family looked at Ye Qingtang and spoke in rapid succession.

Before Ye Qingtang could say a word, a maidservant from the Long Family said, "Ye Qingtang, if you kneel, you will live. If you refuse, you will die."

When she heard that, Ye Qingtang nodded slightly and responded. "Now, I am giving you a chance. If you kneel and admit you were wrong, I will allow you to live. Otherwise, you will die."

"Ye Qingtang, what nonsense are you spouting!"

With that, all the senior members glared at Ye Qingtang in rage. How dare she talk to the ladies from the Long Family like that! Did this Ye Qingtang really have a death wish?

"Ye Qingtang, as a senior member of the Ye Family, I order you to immediately kneel and apologize to the two young ladies from the Long Family!"

"That won't be necessary."

One of the maidservants from the Long Family laughed coldly. "We already gave you a chance. A pity you did not treasure it."

As the maidservant from the Long Family finished speaking, the two of them swiftly vanished from the yard.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Two longswords were unsheathed and swung straight for Ye Qingtang.

However, Ye Qingtang was still standing motionless in her original spot.

The two maidservants from the Long Family were extremely fast. However, to Ye Qingtang, they were basically like crawling ants.

991 The Long Family 3

The next moment, Ye Qingtang used two fingers to swiftly intercept the longswords wielded by the two maidservants from the Long Family.

"You dare to resist?!"

The two maidservants from the Long Family shouted coldly in rage.

Ye Qingtang lips immediately curved upwards. She formed the aura of the Seventh Heaven Yang Lord into a straight line and suddenly enclosed the two maidservants from the Long Family in it.

The two maidservants from the Long Family, who had been so overbearingly arrogant just a moment ago, were completely stunned. They trembled violently all over when they felt the force of the Yang Lord.

Everyone present saw that the two maidservants from the Long Family seemed to be suddenly struck dumb and were rooted to the spot. No one knew just what had happened.

The invincible power of the Yang Lord had swept the maidservants from the Long Family into an abyss from which there was no redemption.

The shocking power of a Seventh Heaven Yin Yang Perfected Lord instantly wiped out the physical and mental strength of the two maidservants from the Long Family.

It was no exaggeration to say that even Long Family's Master, who was known as the invincible Yin Yang Perfected Lord half-step, was tens of thousands of times weaker than Ye Qingtang in terms of pure martial power, much less these two maidservants.

Ye Qingtang was eight realms beyond them. If she wanted to, she could kill all living things within the entire Lin Town with just her force. She could turn Lin Town into a dead town within the span of a single breath.

"The ignorant have no fear."

Ye Qingtang looked at the two shocked maidservants from the Long Family. With a light dab of her finger, she instantly pierced through their brows.

As everyone looked on in disbelief, the two maidservants from the Long Family collapsed to the ground like a pile of soft mud. They were dead.

"Ye Qingtang… you… you dare…"

At that moment, all the disciples and the senior members of the Ye Family stared at the two maidservants from the Long Family in disbelief.

The statuses of these two maidservants were immaterial. Even an insignificant servant in the Long Family was a member of the Long Family. Ye Qingtang had publicly killed these members of the Long Family…

Many members of the Ye Family had already felt uneasy when Ye Qingtang had injured Duan Yangjing. Now, this feeling grew even stronger.

"Ye Qingtang, you dare to rely on the treasures you obtained from the mystic realm of your sect to kill members of the Long Family… you…"

Some senior members glared at Ye Qingtang and shouted at her angrily.

Not only would Ye Qingtang have to die for offending the Long Family, but they would also be implicated!

Even Ye Ling had not thought that Ye Qingtang would really kill the maidservants from the Long Family…

"Mystic realm of the sect… treasure…"

When she heard the senior members' words, Long Rui muttered thoughtfully to herself.

"This Ye Qingtang must have obtained numerous treasures from the mystic realm of her sect… my father was also utterly defeated by those treasures." Duan Tianrao frowned and said. He had been puzzled by how Ye Qingtang had suddenly become so powerful. Now that he heard what the Ye Family said, he thought that it was plausible.

"So there really is a treasure…"

Long Rui immediately swept a glance at her surroundings. When she saw the weapons that everyone in the Ye Family was holding, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

The Ye Family had numerous premium yellow-grade weapons, and she also spotted many valuable elixirs.

Each item was so valuable that it was difficult to estimate its worth. Even her father's divine weapon was merely a superior yellow-grade weapon…

Long Rui immediately closed both eyes and used the power of communication that was unique to the Long Family to connect with her father.

Within the span of two breaths, Long Rui reopened her eyes and looked at Duan Tianrao. "My father and the others have arrived."

992 The Long Family 4

When they heard Long Rui's words, everyone in the Ye Family was shocked.

Long Rui's father, the Master of the Long Family, the invincible half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord!

"Doomed… doomed… we're doomed…"

"We've actually… actually disturbed a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord…"

The senior members of the Ye Family looked rather stunned.

The Great Elder clenched his fists. He had not expected matters to reach this stage.

The Third Elder gritted his teeth. This Ye Qingtang had not only brought disaster on herself, but she had also brought disaster on them and the entire Ye Family!

A person could be arrogant and ignorant, but not that arrogant and ignorant!

The Long Family was so powerful. No matter what kind of destiny and treasures Ye Qingtang had obtained from the sect's mystic realm, no matter how powerful she was, she could not possibly oppose the Long Family!

To Long Rui and the others, it was not important that Ye Qingtang had killed the two maidservants from the Long Family. However, the treasures in the Ye Family were shocking. Even her father would be shocked and shaken when he arrived and saw the premium yellow-grade weapons and the priceless elixirs, much less Long Rui.

If they could completely possess these items, the Long Family would be elevated.

Before entering the Ye Family, Long Rui had already ordered the guards of the Long Family to completely surround the Ye House.

Ever since the Ye Family had attacked the Duan Family, Long Rui had already decided to uproot the entire Ye Family and avenge the Duan Family.

"Third Elder, your Ye Family certainly has many treasures."

Long Rui suddenly looked at the Third Elder of the Ye Family and blandly spoke.

When he heard that, the Third Elder immediately smiled ingratiatingly. "Miss Long Rui, you can choose any that you like. As long as it catches Miss Long Rui's eye…"

"Of course, I like them. However, I am not just choosing one or two. The Long Family wants them all," said Long Rui.

Many of the Ye Family's disciples looked helpless when they heard Long Rui's words. These treasures were too far beyond their grasp. If they forcefully retained them, they would certainly die. In the end, they still had to hand these treasures over to the Long Family…

"Haha, Miss Long Rui, if you like them, you can take them all. In any case, our Ye Family was preparing to present all these divine weapons and elixirs to the Long Family," the Third Elder said hurriedly.

Although Ye Ling, the Great Elder, and the Second Elder were currently displeased with the Long Family, the Long Family was just too powerful. If they wanted to protect the Ye Family, this was their only choice. If they rebelled, the consequences would be disastrous.

If it was the Duan Family, the Ye Family might still fight to the death, and at worst, both sides would suffer losses. But the Long Family was different. In the face of such a huge entity, the Ye Family did not have any room to protest.

"I am very curious as to how the Ye Family suddenly acquired so many divine weapons and Dharma treasures. Or perhaps the Ye Family has a strong foundation that it did not display in the past." Long Rui looked at the Third Elder and carried on talking.

"Miss Long Rui… all these were brought back by the Eldest Young Lady of our Ye Family, Ye Qingtang. As you know, Ye Qingtang is an outer sect disciple of a sect and had the immense good fortune to enter the mystic realm of the sect. She was rather lucky and obtained these destinies…" The Third Elder recounted the facts.

Long Rui looked thoughtful when she heard the Third Elder's words.

Just as Duan Tianrao had guessed, this Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family must certainly be carrying a great treasure on her person.

993 The Long Family 5

If Ye Qingtang could give so many divine weapons and rare elixirs to the Ye Family upon her return, then she was certainly carrying an even more valuable divine weapon or treasure on her person!

Considering Ye Qingtang's martial arts ability and level of cultivation as an outer sect disciple, it did not make sense that she could defeat the Duan Family. In addition, the power she had displayed with the two maidservants was akin to that of an inner sect disciple. However, Ye Qingtang had killed them with some kind of sinister technique. In that case, it was entirely plausible that Ye Qingtang had a priceless treasure on her…

The Long Family definitely wanted the Ye Family's treasures. They also wanted all the treasures on Ye Qingtang's person.

"Miss Long Rui, don't you think that since all this… is a misunderstanding, why don't…" The Third Elder looked at the expressionless Long Rui and spoke smilingly.

"Since you are fairly sensible, there is room for negotiation," said Long Rui blandly and shot a look at Ye Qingtang.

At that moment, Ye Qingtang was still standing motionless at her original spot.

Since she knew that the half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord from the Long Family was about to arrive, Ye Qingtang saved herself a trip to the Long Family and simply waited there for the arrival of the Long Family's half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

At that moment, the Ye Family's disciples and senior members had relaxed a little once they heard Long Rui say that there was room for negotiation. The Dharma treasures that Ye Qingtang had brought were not important. As long as the Long Family did not hold the Ye Family responsible, they were happy to discuss the matter.

An extremely powerful force enclosed the Ye House. The senior members and disciples of the Ye Family were shocked by the force.

At the same time, a luxuriously dressed middle-aged man and a few old men stepped through the main gate of the Ye House and into the courtyard.

The frightening force was being emitted by the middle-aged man in the lead and was truly terrifying.

"Long… Long Family's Master…"

Everyone present was shocked when they saw the middle-aged man.

"Greetings, Lord."

Duan Tianrao walked over to the middle-aged man and bowed and greeted him with great respect.

"Hmm." The middle-aged man glanced at Duan Tianrao and replied softly.

The middle-aged man did not really like Duan Tianrao of the Duan Family and did not think him worthy of his daughter, Long Rui. However, Long Rui had set her heart on Duan Tianrao, and he had no choice. It was also because of Long Rui that the Duan Family had experienced such smooth sailing for the past two years.

"Father."

Long Rui stepped forward and advanced to the side of the Long Family's Master and recounted the past events to him.

The Long Family's Master was shocked when he heard Long Rui's words. He looked around him, and just as Long Rui said, there were many premium yellow-grade divine weapons in the Ye House…

As Master of the Long Family and a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, even the sword he carried was no more than a superior yellow-grade weapon…

However, besides the premium yellow-grade weapons, there were also many rare and precious elixirs.

All of them were rare and priceless. Under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult to obtain even one item.

"So the Ye Family has such treasures…"

The Master of the Long Family's eyes burned like coals as he muttered to himself.

"Lord, that Ye Qingtang is the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family and an outer sect disciple. She has been extremely open-handed since her return to Lin Town and the Ye Family. All the premium yellow-grade divine weapons and the rare elixirs were given to the Ye Family by her. Further, Ye Qingtang probably has an even more powerful Dharma treasure on her person," said Duan Tianrao.

994 The Long Family 6

The Long Family Master's eyes flashed when he heard Duan Tianrao's words. For an ordinary outer sect disciple to be so open-handed, it meant that she must have had an amazing encounter!

Not only that, but the Long Family Master also knew from Duan Tianrao that the entire Duan Family, including his father, had been defeated by Ye Qingtang. They had not even been able to fight back.

An ordinary outer sect disciple could not possibly have done that. Even a powerful inner sect disciple of a super sect might not be able to do that!

At that moment, one of the senior members of the Long Family spoke. "It looks like Ye Qingtang really has some amazing treasures on her person. Your Duan Family was defeated by Ye Qingtang because of the mysterious Dharma treasure on her person."

When he heard that, Duan Tianrao nodded rapidly and said, "That's right."

"Haha… how interesting. Our Long Family is truly lucky… If we bring those dozens of premium yellow-grade divine weapons and rare elixirs back to the Long Family, not to mention the Dharma treasure on that girl, our family will certainly be elevated to the next level."

A trace of excitement surfaced in the eyes of several Long Family elders.

The Long Family Master wanted the divine weapons and Dharma treasures, and he certainly would not pass up on the treasures that Ye Qingtang was carrying.

After taking away all the treasures in the Ye Family, there was no more reason for the Ye Family to exist. If the Ye Family let it be known that his Long Family had obtained so many divine weapons and treasures, another family that could rival the Long Family might find out, and then a conflict would be inevitable.

"Lord Long… your presence is truly an honor for the Ye Family!"

At that moment, all the senior members of the Ye Family were smiling ingratiatingly and looking at the Long Family Master.

"I never imagined that the Ye Family would have so many treasures." The Long Family Master swept a glance at them and spoke remotely.

When they heard that, all the senior members of the Ye Family looked thoughtful.

"How wonderful that Lord Long likes them… We were intending to present all these divine weapons and treasures to the Long Family. After all, considering our skill level, these divine weapons and Dharma treasures would be wasted on us…"

One of the senior members of the Ye Family said with a smile.

The Long Family Master did not show much expression when he heard that. He only said coldly, "I heard that the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family injured the Duan Family Master."

"This…"

The senior members of the Ye Family exchanged glances.

"Lord Long, our Eldest Young Lady just returned to Lin Town and doesn't know the rules… she isn't very sensible and has been a little arrogant ever since she entered the sect to cultivate. However, she had no intention of offending the Long Family!"

"That's right. We will certainly make Ye Qingtang kneel and kowtow to the Duan Family Master for injuring him. We hope Lord Long will be gracious. We will give all these divine weapons and Dharma treasures to the Long Family…"

A few senior members of the Ye Family spoke hurriedly.

The Duan Family was not important. What was important was the Long Family's attitude.

An elder from the Long Family immediately laughed coldly and said, "She is merely an ordinary outer sect disciple. Considering the ability and cultivation level of an outer sect disciple, could she really severely injure the Duan Family Master… or do you mean she relied on some Dharma treasure to be able to do so."

When they heard the Long Family Elder's words, everyone from the Ye Family also thought that this must be true. In terms of martial arts ability, Ye Qingtang was merely an outer sect disciple, but the Duan Family Master was so powerful. He had already reached the Second Heaven of martial arts cultivation!

995 Ability 1

If Ye Qingtang did not have a Dharma treasure that she had obtained by chance, how could she force the Duan Family to a state where they could not even fight back?

The fact that Ye Qingtang had been so open-handed and given away these numerous treasures so freely showed that she did not care about them. She must certainly have some rare treasures on her person!

The senior members of the Ye Family were not stupid. When they heard the Long Family Master's words, they more or less guessed what he meant. Besides the treasures that Ye Qingtang had given the Ye Family, the Long Family Master also wanted the treasure on Ye Qingtang's person.

"Ye Qingtang, hadn't you better bring out the treasure you are carrying!" said a senior member of the Ye Family as he looked at Ye Qingtang.

However, Ye Qingtang just shrugged. "Who told you that I am carrying treasure?"

"You aren't?"

When they heard Ye Qingtang's words, all the senior members of the Ye Family frowned deeply.

How could it be that Ye Qingtang was not carrying any treasure!

In that case, how could Ye Qingtang have brought out so many premium yellow-grade divine weapons and rare elixirs without batting an eyelid?!

"Ye Qingtang, this is the Long Family's Master and a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord. Your treasure is wasted on you. You had better hand it over to Lord Long. With Lord Long's abilities, he will be better able to protect Lin Town with these treasures!"

"That's right. In that way, you will also be making a contribution to the Ye Family and Lin Town. As the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family, you should at least be aware of some of these things!"

At that moment, all the senior members of the Ye Family were hoping to save their own skins and were all speaking rapidly.

However, although they said all these things, Ye Qingtang remained completely unmoved. She showed no sign of bringing out any treasure.

This situation caused the senior members of the Ye Family to frown.

"Ye Qingtang, you say that you are not carrying any Dharma treasure… In that case, hand over your space ring," a senior member of the Ye Family said coldly.

Ye Qingtang had brought this disaster on them. If she had not been so blatantly arrogant and used the Dharma treasure to defeat the Duan Family, all of this would not have happened. She was merely an outer sect disciple, but her arrogant attitude was akin to that of an inner sect disciple of a super sect!

She had no sense of her own little worth and had forgotten herself when she had obtained a few Dharma treasures by chance, bringing catastrophe to the Ye Family. Now, she was still refusing to hand the Dharma treasure over!

"Ye Qingtang, hadn't you better take out your space ring!" When he saw that Ye Qingtang did not reply, the senior member of the Ye Family was enraged.

Given the current circumstances, even the Ye Family Master had to comply, much less the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family!

When Ye Qingtang looked at the scene before her, she understood why the Ye Family had been so oppressed. Firstly, the Duan Family had the backing of the Long Family. Secondly, these people that her father and second uncle had brought back to the Ye House did not dare to oppose the Long Family, causing them to be repeatedly bullied.

Deep in her heart, Ye Qingtang knew that although her father was the family master, he was too mild and was even inclined to be weak. Given his personality, he could not control these people in the Ye Family; otherwise, he would not have allowed Ye You's grandfather to control the Ye Family in the first place.

"Are you talking about this?"

Ye Qingtang immediately waved the space ring on her finger.

"That's right!" the senior member of the Ye Family said impatiently.

"If you want it, come and get it yourself." Ye Qingtang looked at the senior member of the Ye Family, and a cold light flashed across her eyes. There were many parasites in the Ye Family. If her father did not get rid of them, she would have to do it for him.

996 Ability 2

"Don't bother!"

An elder from the Long Family gave a cold grunt as he strode towards Ye Qingtang. He raised his right arm and grabbed at the space ring on Ye Qingtang's finger.

"You really have a death wish." Ye Qingtang stood motionless in the yard. Her bone-chilling look fell on the elder from the Long Family, who was striding over.

The elder from the Long Family was taken aback. He shivered all over. He had merely received a look from the Ye Family's Eldest Young Lady, yet he felt as if he had fallen into an icy pit.

"This girl is certainly carrying a priceless Dharma treasure on her person!" The elder from the Long Family not only did not feel any fear, but a wild joy appeared in his eyes instead.

Today, all the treasures that the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family carried would belong to their Long Family!

"Ye Qingtang, if you dare to resist, I assure you that not a soul will be left in your Ye Family." The elder from the Long Family looked at Ye Qingtang and spoke coldly.

"Braggart," said Ye Qingtang.

"Braggart?" The elder from the Long Family was taken aback. He did not know what Ye Qingtang meant or why she had suddenly uttered these mysterious words.

Clank!

The next second, a longsword was drawn.

Clank!

And then sheathed.

This drawing and sheathing of the sword were done in one smooth motion. No one even saw how Ye Qingtang had acted or how she had drawn her sword.

However, as they stared stupidly, the elder from the Long Family emitted a heart-rending wail.

When they looked at the elder from the Long Family again, his mouth was full of blood. The tongue in his mouth had been cut off by the long sword and fell to the ground.

"Braggarts will lose their tongue." Ye Qingtang stared at the elder from the Long Family. Her lips curved upwards slightly in an inscrutable smile.

This scene completely stunned the senior members and disciples of the Ye Family.

Who would have imagined that Ye Qingtang would be so daring! This was a senior elder of the Long Family…

This Ye Qingtang had dared to cut off the tongue of a Long Family elder in front of the Long Family's Master, a powerful half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord!

This would push them and the Ye Family into an abyss from which there was no return!

Naturally, everyone was shocked. In terms of martial arts cultivation, this Long Family elder had already entered the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three. Just what kind of powerful Dharma treasure did Ye Qingtang have on her person that even allowed her to cut off the tongue of a powerful cultivator at the First Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three!

At that moment, Duan Tianrao was frowning. "Be careful. Don't underestimate Ye Qingtang's Dharma treasure…"

"Ah… it looks like your ex-fiancée is really daring… However, I am curious as to just how powerful her treasure is. Even our Long Family's elder suffered such a great loss," Long Rui said with a cold laugh.

"Rui'er, no matter what kind of powerful Dharma treasure Ye Qingtang has, she is ultimately relying on an external source of power. No matter how powerful the Dharma treasure is, it will belong to you in the end," Duan Tianrao said to Long Rui smilingly.

At that moment, the Long Family Master let out a cold grunt. The terrifying force of the half-step Yin Yang cultivator suddenly permeated the whole area and shrouded the entire Ye House.

"Your Ye Family is outrageously daring. Since that is the case, from today onward, there will be no Ye Family in Lin Town." The Long Family Master shouted sternly. He was intimidating even when calm, like a lofty and invincible true god, causing everyone from the Ye Family to turn pale and quake inwardly.

"Lord Long, please don't be angry… Lord Long, please don't be angry. This girl doesn't have the sense to appreciate a favor and acted rebelliously. We will certainly punish her severely and hand all the treasures and Dharma treasures on her person over to Lord Long!"

997 Ability 3

After seeing Clan Master Long's reaction, the senior members of the Ye Family had a change of expression, and one of them hurriedly spoke.

However, Clan Master Long was unmoved. Duan Tianrao took a step forward, and his eyes swept across Ye Qingtang and the members of the Ye Family as though he was looking at ants.

"The Ye family offended Lord Long. I'm afraid whatever you say now is useless…" Duan Tianrao said.

The Third Elder was appalled, and he looked at Duan Tianrao. "Tianrao, no matter what, you used to be Ye Qingtang's fiancé. Quickly persuade Lord Long…"

Currently, the Third Elder was panic-stricken and clearly could not think through what could be said and what could not.

Indeed, Long Rui's expression darkened instantly after hearing what the Third Elder said.

Duan Tianrao shook his head. "The engagement between Ye Qingtang and I had already been broken two years ago. Our engagement back then was none other than an error made by my father at the spur of the moment. My father believed that in Lin Town, only Ye Qingtang was suited to be the future Mistress of the Duan Family. There were no feelings between Ye Qingtang and me. Moreover, given Ye Qingtang's martial skills and talent, how is it possible for her to be the Mistress of the Duan Family… You mentioned this incident simply to insult me on purpose!"

"This…"

The Third Elder was dumbstruck. What he said was due to the urgency of the situation, and he completely did not think that Long Rui was still present and that such words would only achieve the opposite effect.

"If there's anything, blame it on the fact that your Ye family produced an ignorant and arrogant Eldest Young Lady with plain martial skills. She thought she was unbeatable after gaining a great treasure. How ridiculous!" Duan Tianrao cast Ye Qingtang a cold look.

After Duan Tianrao said that, Clan Master Duan and other members of the Duan family marched into the Ye residence's courtyard.

After learning that the Clan Master of the Long Family went to the Ye residence, Duan Yangjing, who was previously humiliated, carelessly treated his injuries and hurriedly led a group of people from the Duan Family over. He wanted to see exactly what kind of Dharma treasure Ye Qingtang had and all the more wanted to see the outcome of Ye Qingtang and the Ye Family!

"How lively it is today." Ye Qingtang looked at the Long and Duan Family and laughed softly.

"Humph, Ye Qingtang, You will definitely die today!" Duan Yangjing looked at Ye Qingtang coldly, wanting to shred Ye Qingtang into millions of pieces.

Nonetheless, Ye Qingtang could not even be bothered to reply to the Duan Family.

"Ye Qingtang, hurry! Kneel down and admit your mistake! Do you really want to harm us and the Ye Family!!"

"Ye Qingtang, you bastard! Hurry up and apologize by taking your own life!!"

Several senior members of the Ye Family seemed to still be a little hopeful as they hollered at Ye Qingtang in fury, as though the Long Family would let them off as long as Ye Qingtang died.

At this instant, they could not care about Ye Qingtang's life.

"Even if she apologized by taking her life, it is useless," Clan Master Long said calmly. His martial aura did not reduce a bit and instead became even stronger.

Under this overwhelming aura, the members of the Ye Family were aghast, and their faces were as pale as those of corpses. It was as though their bodies were pressed down by a giant mountain in the skies, and they were unable to move.

"Full of bullsh*t." Ye Qingtang looked at Clan Master Long and said coldly.

"Insolent bastard, you have a death wish!" Clan Master Long shouted coldly and subsequently walked towards Ye Qingtang.

Swoosh!

A superior yellow-grade sword with a magical luster was unsheathed by Clan Master Long.

998 Three Steps 1

There seemed to be a treasure with extremely powerful offensive abilities on Ye Qingtang, and Clan Master Long did not underestimate her. All he wished was to kill Ye Qingtang with a strike and retrieve her treasure and space ring once she died.

"Tang Tang!"

Clan Master Ye Ling shouted and handed a top yellow-grade sword to Ye Qingtang immediately.

With things as such, it was already impossible to achieve a thaw with the Long Family. Ye Ling was, of course, aware of Long Family's thoughts and plans. However, in the entire Ye Family, there was simply no one who could oppose Clan Master Long except perhaps Ye Qingtang…

However, Ye Qingtang did not even have any intention to receive the sword. She looked at Ye Qingtang and chuckled softly. "Father, take not a musket to kill a butterfly."

After hearing what Ye Qingtang said, Ye Ling was completely dumbfounded. Going against a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, yet… take not a musket to kill a butterfly?!

"Young one, die!"

In an instant, the superior yellow-grade sword in Clan Master Long's hand slashed down at Ye Qingtang.

The speed of this blow was extremely fast, and everyone could barely see it with their naked eyes. All they saw was a cold sword shadow flashing by.

Boom!

A loud sound erupted.

Before everyone's eyes, Clan Master Long's sword slashed down at Ye Qingtang's left shoulder…

Before everyone could react…

"You… only have this much power?"

Ye Qingtang looked at Clan Master Long, who was inches away from her, and her lips curled into an unknown smile.

Not mentioning a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, in Ye Qingtang's eyes, anyone below a Yang Lord was no different from an ant. Even if she remained at the same spot for him to kill her, a Yin Lord could barely injure her at all, much less a so-called half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

"You…"

At this instant, Clan Master Long's expression changed slightly. His sword struck Ye Qingtang accurately, but it was as though he hit diamond. How could this be?!

"You have a death wish!"

Clan Master Long shouted coldly, and without thinking further, the superior yellow-grade weapon slashed down at Ye Qingtang once again.

This time, Clan Master Long used almost all his primordial qi, and a frightening primordial qi covered the superior yellow-grade sword. An extensive sword gleam that looked like it could destroy the world slashed down at Ye Qingtang's crown.

Boom… Boom, boom!!

Right after, an alarming explosion erupted, causing one to shudder and eardrums to hurt.

At the very moment when everyone returned to their senses, they could not help but be completely dumbfounded.

The senior members and disciples of the Ye Family were dumbstruck and seemed to have forgotten to breathe. Duan Tianrao was all the more horrified while Clan Master Duan and the Duan Family members looked as though they just saw a ghost.

Clan Master Long, a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, waved a superior yellow-grade sword and slashed it down at Ye Qingtang's crown with all his might, but Ye Qingtang did not even blink an eye.

Ye Qingtang stared at Clan Master Long and said without emotions, "Too weak."

Clan Master Long was in disbelief.

"Do you know… you messed up my hair?" Ye Qingtang's brows were slightly furrowed.

"What did you say…?!" Clan Master Long reddened. As a dignified half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, he attacked Ye Qingtang with all his might, yet she said that his sword messed up her hair?!

In the next second, with the flick of a wrist, Ye Qingtang had already held Clan Master Long's superior yellow-grade sword in her hands.

999 Three Steps 2

"You wish to injure me with this lousy piece of metal?" As Ye Qingtang spoke, she exerted power in her palm, and a crisp "clang" sounded. Under everyone's watch, Clan Master Long's superior yellow-grade weapon crushed.

This crush directly turned the sword into fine powder…

"This… is impossible…" Clan Master Long was aghast.

"It's my turn." Ye Qingtang looked at Clan Master Long and said with a light chuckle.

After hearing what Ye Qingtang said, Clan Master Long was alarmed. Almost instinctively, he retreated backward quickly and pulled a distance from Ye Qingtang.

"If you can withstand my three steps, I'll pardon your Long Family," Ye Qingtang said without emotions.

"Three steps?!"

Everyone at the scene was taken aback and completely could not comprehend what Ye Qingtang was saying.

"This is the first step." With that, Ye Qingtang moved her leg and took a small step forward.

This one step had such oppressive air like that of the very first aura since the creation of the universe, and it seemed to reverse Heaven and Earth.

Everyone watched in disbelief and did not know what happened other than the fact that Clan Master Long shuddered and that his complexion was ghastly pale.

"Not bad. This is the second step."

Immediately, an unknown smile formed on Ye Qingtang's face as she took another step forward.

As she took the second step, blood actually seeped out of Clan Master Long's mouth.

"Very good. This is the third step."

Afterward, Ye Qingtang moved her legs once again and made the third step.

"Ow!"

As Ye Qingtang took her third step, a mouthful of blood spewed out of Clan Master Long's mouth.

"Father!"

Long Rui was startled. Her father was a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord… How could this be…

At this very instant, disbelief was etched on everyone's faces. A Yin Yang Perfected Lord actually used three steps to cause a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord to vomit blood!

"It seems that the so-called unparalleled mighty Clan Master Long is unable to withstand my three steps." Ye Qingtang shook her head in disappointment.

Clank!

Very quickly, there was a sound of an unsheathed sword.

The Regicide Sky Blade appeared in Ye Qingtang's hand.

"Your Long Family likes Dharma treasures a lot. What do you all think about this sword then?" Ye Qingtang held the Regicide Sky Blade in front of Clan Master Long.

"This… black-grade… black-grade weapon?!"

After seeing Ye Qingtang's Regicide Sky Blade, everyone at the scene was beyond shocked, much less Clan Master Long.

A black-grade weapon was not what a yellow-grade weapon could be compared to; even millions of top yellow-grade weapons were inferior to the lowest level black-grade weapon!

No one thought that Ye Qingtang even possessed such a weapon!

"Clan Master Long… and everyone here."

Ye Qingtang's eyes swept the crowd, and she snickered softly. "A sword should be used this way."

As Ye Qingtang finished her sentence, the Regicide Sky Blade in her hand waved down.

Swoosh!

A scarlet gleam rushed into the sky.

Before everyone's shocked eyes, that sword gleam completely shattered the headquarters of the Duan Family and Long Family into ruins.

Sssss…

Everyone gasped at the sight.

"Outrageous… The level of the treasure on this lady is actually this frightening!"

At this instant, several Long Family elders were seething. In their eyes, the reason why Ye Qingtang could harm Clan Master Long, a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, was only because of the treasure on her!

1000 Three Steps 3

Realization dawned on the masses after hearing what the elders of the Long Family said.

Ye Qingtang even possessed a black-grade weapon. She must have a matching Dharma treasure on her!

If they possessed such a Dharma treasure, it was not impossible to injure a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord…

"Rui… Quickly notify your Grand Master…" Clan Master Long looked at his daughter, Long Rui, and said.

"Grand Master?" Long Rui's eyes glistened upon hearing Clan Master Long.

Her Grand Master, also her father's Master, was Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder. His martial skills had already entered the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm. If the Grand Master came, he would definitely be able to kill a Yin Yang Perfected Lord easily and, afterward, be able to get the Yin Yang Perfected Lord's black-grade weapon and Dharma treasure…

Long Rui used her mind power immediately.

A moment later, Long Rui opened her eyes and exclaimed in delight. "Grand Master is in the vicinity!"

Her Grand Master was the previous Grand Elder of Qinglin Sect and was the most powerful figure in Qinglin Sect. He has been traveling around in recent times, and it was not strange for him to be nearby Lin Town.

"The previous Grand Elder of Qinglin Sect…"

It was only at this moment when everyone first realized that Clan Master Long actually had a Master at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm. That previous Grand Elder of Qinglin Sect had extraordinary skills and was a true Yin Yang Perfected Lord!

A moment later, space seemed to be twisted, and time seemed to have stopped.

A white-haired elderly suddenly appeared in the sky above Lin Town. As he walked in the air, it was as though an immortal had arrived.

The martial aura emitted by the elderly was extremely oppressive, causing everyone to lose their minds and instinctively wish to escape from this place.

"Grand Master!"

Long Rui raised her head and looked into the sky. Noticing the elderly, she broke out in elation.

Her Grand Master was Qinglin Sect's previous Grand Elder and a true mighty Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

"Master!"

Seeing that the elderly had arrived, Clan Master Long immediately gave the elderly a full bow.

When Clan Master Long was young, he cultivated in Qinglin Sect and became a personal disciple of this elderly.

Upon seeing a true Yin Yang Perfected Lord, the members of the Ye and Duan Family were extremely silent and even slowed down their breathing, afraid that they would alarm this extraordinary presence.

"Grand Master…"

Long Rui looked at the elderly in the air and was about to say something but was interrupted by the elderly. "I already know about it. There's no need to repeat."

Subsequently, the elderly's eyes landed on Ye Qingtang. After inspecting her for a while, his eyes shone. "You are Xuanling Sect's disciple, Ye Qingtang."

He was aware that Ye Qingtang obtained the Fiendcelestial Beast in the Hell of Avicinaraka mystic realm and had seen Ye Qingtang's wanted portraits before; thus, he could recognize her immediately.

Ye Qingtang did not refute him.

"I already know of your actions in the Hell of Avicinaraka mystic realm… Young one, the Long Family shares a deep relation with me. What you did today is already a huge offense. However, if you hand the Fiendcelestial Beast over, I can pardon your sins. How about that?" The previous Grand Elder of Qinglin Sect looked at Ye Qingtang and said slowly.

"Fiendcelestial Beast…"

Everyone was taken aback by what the elderly said. They had never heard of a Fiendcelestial Beast and did not know what kind of presence a Fiendcelestial Beast was.

1001 The Arrival of A Powerful Figure 1

"Could it be that the Fiendcelestial Beast mentioned by the Qinglin Sect's previous Grand Elder is the treasure on Ye Qingtang…"

Immediately, Duan Tianrao and the members of the Duan Family were in thought. Judging from the situation, an item that even the previous Grand Elder of Qinglin Sect cared so much about must definitely be a great piece of treasure. In this case, it could be explained why Ye Qingtang could harm Clan Master Long, a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

It was just that everyone was extremely curious to know what kind of presence the so-called Fiendcelestial Beast was for a true Yin Yang Perfected Lord to pay so much attention to.

Yet, no one dared to raise the question.

"Master, this bastard still has a black-grade weapon!" Clan Master Long looked at the elderly in the air and said hurriedly.

Clan Master Long had left the sect for a long time and naturally did not know what a Fiendcelestial Beast was.

"Black-grade weapon?"

The elderly laughed plainly upon hearing Clan Master Long and said, "Compared to the Fiendcelestial Beast that this girl obtained in the mystic realm, a black-grade weapon is nothing."

"What…"

Clan Master Long and everyone present were taken aback.

Even a black-grade weapon could not be compared to a Fiendcelestial Beast?!

What kind of shocking treasure was hidden on Ye Qingtang?!

"Ye Qingtang, hurry hand that Fiendcelestial Beast or something over. This is Qinglin Sect's previous Grand Elder, a true Yin Yang Perfected Lord!"

"That's right! Ye Qingtang, the Grand Elder had already promised in front of everyone. As long as you hand your treasure out, he will not haggle about it. Could it be that you still refuse to admit your errors or do you think that your treasure can even go against a true Yin Yang Perfected Lord!"

After hearing the elderly, the senior members of the Ye family looked at Ye Qingtang and ordered incessantly.

However, Ye Qingtang did not plan to bother with these senior members and did not respond.

Ye Ling and the Second Elder had a complicated expression. They never expected so many things to happen after Ye Qingtang returned to Lin Town.

When Ye Qingtang returned, Ye Ling had already told her to leave earlier… If Ye Qingtang listened to him, there would not be these many disasters…

It was not that Ye Ling was afraid of troubles but that he was unwilling to have Ye Qingtang encounter such danger.

They were already at a loss of what to do when facing a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord from the Long Family. Now that they were facing the previous Grand Elder of Qinglin Sect, a true Yin Yang Perfected Lord, they were all the more in despair.

Death seemed to be looming above them.

"Tang Tang, hand the Fiendcelestial Beast to them!"

At this instant, even the Second Elder of the Ye Family could not help but persuade her.

No matter what kind of shocking treasure it was, one's life was more important. What was the point of everything if one's life was lost?!

Moreover, that Grand Elder had already said that as long as Ye Qingtang was willing to hand that so-called Fiendcelestial Beast over, he could let bygones be bygones and spare Ye Qingtang's life!

The words of sects' Grand Elders carried weight, and this Grand Elder was also a Yin Yang Perfected Lord. Since he said that he would spare Ye Qingtang's life, he would definitely be able to do so and fulfill his own promise. Of course, the premise was that Ye Qingtang had to cooperate and hand the Fiendcelestial Beast to him…

1002 The Arrival of A Powerful Figure 2

"Tang Tang… your life is most important…" At this moment, Ye Ling looked at Ye Qingtang and could not help but try to persuade her.

To Ye Ling, there was nothing more important than his own daughter's life. Regardless of that Fiendcelestial Beast and the black-grade weapon, it was still so.

However, Ye Qingtang did not even turn around to look at Ye Ling or the Second Elder.

"Ye Qingtang, the Clan Master has already said it. Are you really going to refuse to admit your mistake? Forget it if you don't want your life, but do you want the Ye Family to be buried together with you as well!"

"Ye Qingtang, quickly hand the Fiendcelestial Beast over. Otherwise, don't blame us for punishing you in the name of justice!"

The senior members of the Ye Family looked at Ye Qingtang, enraged. Even if Ye Qingtang could suppress the half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord Clan Master Long using that god-knows-what Fiendcelestial Beast, the person she was facing currently was, however, the previous Grand Elder of Qinglin Sect, a true Yin Yang Perfected Lord!

A half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord and Yin Yang Perfected Lord may seem close, but in reality, there was a world of difference between them!

Even if a hundred or thousand half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords faced a true Yin Yang Perfected Lord, they would only be slain!

"Any more bullsh*t and you'll die."

Ye Qingtang's eyes swept across the senior members of the Ye Family who were rambling ceaselessly.

"You!"

One of the senior members pointed at Ye Qingtang in fury.

Swoosh!

Before that senior member could finish his sentence, there was a sound of a sword being unsheathed. Subsequently, that senior member's arm which was instantly stretched out was chopped by the sword aura.

"Arh!!!"

A miserable cry escaped that senior member of the Ye Family. Never had he thought that Ye Qingtang would actually attack him, a senior member of the Ye Family!

Noticing the situation, all the senior members were shocked and did not dare to utter a word. Ye Qingtang had a black-grade weapon and a Fiendcelestial Beast which even the previous Grand Elder of Qinglin Sect cared very much about. It was nothing but courting death if they opposed Ye Qingtang right now!

"Ye Qingtang, this devil's spawn…"

"Humph! What a scoundrel. She is only a member of the younger generation of the Ye Family. How dare she attack a senior member of the Ye Family? This is a wicked crime which is past forgiving!"

"Once the Qinglin Sect Grand Elder takes her Fiendcelestial Beast and black-grade weapon… I want to see if she still dares to be this arrogant in front of us!"

"By then, we must make her kneel and punish her by the clan's rules!"

The senior members of the Ye Family gritted their teeth.

"Young one, what do you think of my suggestion?" Qinglin Sect's previous Grand Elder looked at Ye Qingtang and asked.

Ye Qingtang stared at the elderly in the air and replied plainly. "Fiendcelestial Beasts have always only followed powerful figures. With your weak martial realm, where did you find the courage to believe that you are qualified enough to obtain the Fiendcelestial Beast?"

Everyone was surprised by what Ye Qingtang said. Was this Ye Qingtang really courting death?!

Previously, the Qinglin Sect Grand Elder had already clearly said that as long as she handed the Fiendcelestial Beast over, he would spare her life, but Ye Qingtang… actually said such things to the Qinglin Sect Grand Elder! Did she really not want her life anymore?!

"Ye Qingtang, this scoundrel. How dare you talk to the Grand Elder this way!"

"Ye Qingtang, if you wish to die then go ahead alone. Why must you drag us and the Ye Family along with you?!"

1003 The Arrival of A Powerful Figure 3

The senior members of the Ye family also could not bear with her attitude anymore and started to blame her in anger.

Even the disciples of the Ye family also began to curse her.

"Young lady, you're way too arrogant. It seems like your parents did not teach you about manners." The previous Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder shouted coldly in mid-air.

Ye Qingtang sneered after hearing the Grand Elder's words.

"You're disrespecting me by talking to me in mid-air. Get down right now!"

"What did you say?! Ye Qingtang, how dare you to speak to my Grand Master like that?!" Long Rui's eyes darkened immediately like a pool of water.

However, Ye Qingtang did not seem to hear Long Rui's words at all and did not give any response.

"Then I shall help you to get down."

Ye Qingtang sneered coldly as the previous Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder had no reaction. She raised her right arm under everyone's gaze, and the Grand Elder was dragged down by a mysterious force!

The scene was like a dream to everyone who was present as it was so unreal.

"This…"

The Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder was shocked as he landed. His body was out of his control just now and was dragged down by a force that could not be described…

"Was it… the Fiendcelestial Beast…"

The previous Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder stared at Ye Qingtang and contemplated.

A warm luster appeared in the Elder's eyes soon. It was shocking that a young Fiendcelestial Beast could possess such terrifying power. If he could get the Fiendcelestial Beast…

The Elder was more determined to get the Fiendcelestial Beast.

"Young lady, I'll give you one last chance to hand over the Fiendcelestial Beast and the black-grade weapon now… If not, you will not even be able to die in peace!"

Ye Qingtang was expressionless after hearing the Elder's words.

"Young lady, it seems like… you really don't value your own life." The previous Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder looked at Ye Qingtang and sneered.

"I won't kill you before I get the Fiendcelestial Beast… However, I shall kill everyone in the Ye family." The Grand Elder then exchanged a glance with Long Rui and the Long Family Master.

The Long Family Master immediately understood the command from the Grand Elder and looked towards the Ye Ling and the rest

"You're really a group of clowns." Ye Qingtang sighed softly.

Ye Qingtang did not have the intention to fight against these people previously. However, she understood that no matter what she said, everyone would think that she was using the Fiendcelestial Beast's power to threaten them.

Ye Qingtang would not mind to let everyone feel the power of a Yang Lord.

As Ye Qingtang finished her words, the immense power of a Seventh Heaven of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord exploded out from her body.

Wing howled, and invisible waves of air spread out in all directions like the waves from the center of the sea.

As the aura of the Ying Yang Seventh Heaven spread out, the immense power rushed into the sky, and the sky seemed to be trembling under the influence.

Invisible waves of air surrounded Ye Qingtang and spread out in all directions.

Everyone stepped backward under the force of the aura before they could comprehend the situation. They were terrified by the scene and trembled in fear.

1004 Yang Lord 1

The senior members and the disciples of the Ye Family, the Duan Family, and even the Long Family all stared at Ye Qingtang in shock. They were all taken aback by the power and froze.

However, no one knew what did the disaster-like aura represented besides the previous Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder.

The senior members of the Ye Family all trembled in fear under the aura. It seemed that they were going to suffocate to death.

"What… what was that…" The senior members of the Ye Family looked at each other and murmured. Their eyes were filled with astonishment.

"You…"

The previous Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder's face was full of terror.

As the previous Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder and a true Yin Yang Perfected Lord, he obviously knew what this power represented.

"Yin… Yin Yang Perfected Lord… Seventh Heaven… A Yang Lord… This is impossible… You… You're a Yang Lord…"

The Elder stared at Ye Qingtang in fear. The young lady in front of him was a real Yang Lord!

"Ying Yang Seventh Heaven… Yang Lord?!"

The Long Family Master froze as he heard the Elder's words. When he looked towards Ye Qingtang again, his sight was filled with surprise and disbelief.

"Yang… Lord…"

The Clan Master Duan and the members of the Duan Family could not believe what they just heard.

Though they had never seen a Seventh Heaven Yin Yang Perfected Lord or felt the aura, they understood what a Yang Lord was.

The Yin Yang Perfected Lord was separated into two different levels. The first level was called a Yin Lord, and the second level was called a Yang Lord.

The Yin Lord and the Yang Lord were of a world difference, but the difference in their power was huge!

The First to Sixth Heavens of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord were Yin Lords. Only when one's martial ability entered the seventh Heaven could he then step into the second level and become a Yang Lord.

The number of Yang Lords on this mainland was very limited. Any Yang Lord could make the land tremble when they slightly used their power.

Besides the Elder who was at Yin Yang Perfected Lord level as well, no one else who was present was able to understand the meaning of the aura. If the Elder did not speak up, the members of the three families would still think that the aura belonged to the Fiendcelestial Beast.

Now, they finally understood why Ye Qingtang did not bother to talk to the senior members of the Ye Family when they could not stop chattering.

The difference in the levels was so huge that none of them could even enter her eyes. Even the Grand Elder, who was a Yin Yang Perfected Lord, also did not qualify to speak to her…

Duan Tianrao's face was extremely unpleasant. The fiancée that he looked down at and wanted to annul the engagement with had become an unbeatable powerful person in these two years… The Seventh Heaven of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord…

"Senior, please spare my life!"

Cold sweat appeared on the Grand Elder's forehead. He kneeled down immediately in terror.

A Yang Lord to him was an unconquerable true god. The young lady in front of him could kill him with just a thought without leaving any trace of his flesh and bones.

Ye Qingtang looked at the previous Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder coldly. All these people were nothing in her eyes. She did not even have any interest to talk to them.

1005 Yang Lord 2

"Grand… Grand Master…"

Even the Grand Master, who was a Yin Yang Perfected Lord, also kneeled down in front of her. Seeing this, Long Rui had an extremely pale face.

Only at this moment did the Long Family understand what they had done. They offended a Yang Lord…

"There will be no more Long Family and Duan Family from now on." Ye Qingtang scanned through everyone and said slowly after killing the Elder.

"Please spare us… We did not know!!"

The Long Family was in a mess after hearing their death sentence from Ye Qingtang.

However, an aura exploded suddenly. Ten people of the Long Family, including the Long Family Master, were killed instantly.

"Run!"

The Duan Family Master turned back and was about to flee in fear after witnessing the hell-like scene.

"Where do you want to go now that you're already here?"

Ye Qingtang spoke plainly.

As Ye Qingtang finished her sentence, everyone from the Duan Family suddenly froze as if they lost control of their bodies.

Ye Qingtang wandered around them. She raised her right arm slightly, and the Duan Family Master's body suddenly exploded.

Members of the Duan Family were all killed under Ye Qingtang's martial aura within a few breaths.

The senior members of the Ye Family and a few Elders all froze in shock. Even Ye Ling also could not process what was going on.

"Qingtang… Tang Tang… Please… Please don't kill me!" Duan Tianrao begged in fear as Ye Qingtang walked towards him slowly.

Boom!

Ye Qingtang did not even say a single word. Duan Tianrao's body was crushed into a pool of flesh with an explosion.

However, Ye Qingtang did not kill some disciples of the Duan Family who kneeled and begged in front of her. She had nothing to do with the juniors, and they were just here to witness the drama. Ye Qingtang would not kill them since they did not have the intention to harm her.

Ye Qingtang did not plan to kill the Long Family's, Duan Family's, and Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder straight away.

However, Ye Qingtang understood that these people not only wanted to take away the resources she gave to the Ye Family but also wanted to wipe out the entire Ye Family. They even had the intention to kill her. Ye Qingtang did not show any mercy and killed them all.

Ye Qingtang took a glimpse at the disciples of the Duan Family and let them leave the place. She did the same thing to some of the disciples of the Long Family.

After a short while, Ye Qingtang looked towards the senior members of the Ye Family and said, "Just now, I heard that you wanted to punish me with the family rules."

The senior members' faces all turned pale after Ye Qingtang finished her words.

They treated Ye Qingtang as a normal member of the Ye Family previously…

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Qingtang swung a palm out and smashed the senior member whose arm was chopped off by her previously.

"Ah…"

The remaining senior members were all soaked with cold sweat.

"You only thought of how to protect yourselves when the Ye Family was facing our enemies. None of you cared about the honor of the family, and none of you deserve to live anymore." Ye Qingtang looked towards the senior members of the Ye Family and said indifferently.

Based on her father Ye Ling's personality, he was not able to control these senior members previously as well.

Ye Ling's martial ability was mediocre and had a weak personality. It was hard for him to take up the position as the family master. Now, Ye Qingtang had to step out for deterrence.

1006 Yang Lord 3

Some of the remaining senior members of the Ye Family all stood in silence. They finally understood how ridiculous their behavior was previously. They were trying to condemn an unconquerable Yang Lord…

Everyone was shaking in fear after recalling what they had done.

The senior members of the Ye Family also realized why Ye Qingtang was so indifferent towards the Duan Family and the Long Family.

In the eyes of a Seventh Heaven Yin Yang Perfected Lord, the Duan Family and the Long Family were nothing. They should feel honored that Ye Qingtang even spoke to them…

However, Ye Qingtang did give them a chance. If the two families were not so greedy, Ye Qingtang would not choose to kill them all.

The senior members of the Ye Family were new to the family. Most of them only saw Ye Qingtang for the first time. They only heard that the family master's daughter was a normal sect disciple. However, no one could imagine that this disciple was a real Seventh Heaven Yang Lord…

It was fortunate that Ye Qingtang was the Young Lady of Ye Family. Offending a Yang Lord might result in the death of all their related family members. How could they be alive till now?

"Young lady… Please… Please spare my life…"

The Third Elder was pale and trembled in fear. He kneeled down beside Ye Qingtang.

He did not have the courage to fight against the Long Family and only thought of surrendering all weapons and elixirs from Ye Qingtang to them to prevent a disaster.

"Get up," Ye Qingtang said coldly.

Ye Qingtang was not familiar with the Third Elder, but he could see the big picture and solve the problem wisely. Furthermore, he did not do anything that would harm the Ye Family. He even defended her in front of the Long Family. It was totally different from the senior members of the Ye Family that only thought of their own safety. Ye Family would need people like the Third Elder.

Though he was not able to do much, at least his heart belonged to the Ye Family.

The Third Elder sighed in relief after realizing that Ye Qingtang did not blame him.

"Thank… thank you Young Lady for the weapons and the elixirs… We will definitely protect the Ye Family in the future!"

Many senior members sighed as well.

They then looked towards Ye Qingtang and smiled as they held the yellow-grade weapons and elixirs from Ye Qingtang.

"Thank you Young Lady!"

"Thank you Young Lady!"

Some disciples of the Ye Family also showed their gratitude.

However, Ye Qingtang did not respond to them. She looked at the Third Elder and said, "Take back all weapons and elixirs I gave out previously."

"What?!"

The disciples and the senior members were all shocked. Why would she take back all their weapons and elixirs when the problem was settled?

"Do you want to know the reason? Because none of you deserve them, and none of you are qualified to have them." Ye Qingtang scanned through everyone.

The new senior members of the Ye Family only focused on their own benefits. They had no loyalty towards the Ye Family. The loyalty they showed now was just because the Young Lady of the Ye Family was a Yang Lord.

1007 Reform 1

Ye Qingtang could recruit all those really powerful people to the Ye Family with her own ability. Why would she need these selfish people here?

The same went for the disciples here. Most of them lived in Lin Town. They changed their surnames to Ye after entering the Ye Family, but they did not belong to direct descendants of the Ye Family.

When Ye Family encountered such troubles, none of them dared to speak out for the family. Instead, they put all the blame onto Ye Qingtang, the family's Young Lady.

"Hand over all the weapons and elixirs Young Lady gave out previously. You know what will be the consequences if you hide any of them!"

The Third Elder walked into the crowd and commanded coldly.

Soon, around a dozen of yellow-grade weapons and elixirs were taken back by the Third Elder.

"Disperse all disciples of the Ye Family here. None of you will be allowed to call yourself as a disciple of the Ye Family," Ye Qingtang said indifferently.

"What…"

"On what basis!"

"What did we do?!"

All the disciples of the Ye Family started questioning and complaining when they heard that Ye Qingtang wanted to chase them away.

"Because none of you deserve to have my surname. None of you deserve to be a disciple of the Ye Family." Ye Qingtang scanned through the crowd and said.

The Third Elder could completely understand Ye Qingtang's intention. If he were Ye Qingtang, he might kill these unrelated disciples directly.

"Leave now!" The Third Elder shouted in rage and opened his eyes wide.

The disciples all showed different expressions. They just experienced both joy and desperation in such a short period of time.

They just received all the supreme weapons and elixirs, but then they were taken back. The Ye Family now had a Yang Lord that they could show off in front of others. However, they were chased out of the Ye Family all of a sudden…

The disciples could do nothing but leave.

After the disciples left, Ye Qingtang looked towards the remaining senior members of the Ye Family and said, "Same for you. If anyone dares to use the surname Ye in the future, I will hunt you down no matter where you go."

"Wh… What?!"

The senior members of the Ye Family were all shocked and could not believe what they just heard. They… they were chased out of the Ye Family by her as well?!

The Ye Family would definitely become a super family with Ye Qingtang. However, they were chased out of the Ye Family before they could even enjoy their good days?!

However, no one dared to say anything to the unconquerable Seventh Heaven Yang Lord.

"Young Lady… It's hard for the Ye Family to function without the senior members." The Third Elder looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

Ye Qingtang touched the Third Elder's forehead gently, and her Divine Sense entered his glabella, "Bring my Divine Sense to recruit those suitable powerful people to the Ye Family."

"Sure!" The Third Elder was very excited as he nodded constantly. Even a Yin Yang Perfected Lord would fight to join the Ye Family with a Seventh Heaven Yang Lord's Divine Sense!

"Young Lady, I will set off soon after some preparation!" The Third Elder turned and left after finishing his words.

Now, only a few people still remained in the giant Ye Family.

Ye Ling finally understood the situation and realized that his daughter Ye Qingtang was now a Yang Lord!

"Tang Tang… Am I dreaming?!" Ye Ling could not believe how Ye Qingtang managed to become a Yang Lord within two years.

"Father, no one will dare to bully us from today onward." Ye Qingtang smiled gently to Ye Ling.

However, Ye Qingtang was clearly aware that given her father's personality, he still required some training to control the powerful figures of the Ye Family.

Nonetheless, Ye Qingtang was not overly worried either. After all, Ye Ling's daughter was a Yang Lord, and even if those Yin Yang Perfected Lords pledged allegiance to the Ye Family, they definitely had to obey Ye Ling.

"Good… Very Good!!" Delight filled Ye Ling's eyes. His dream of several decades was actually about to be fulfilled…

Ye Ling had a warm disposition, and his daughter and family clan were his only priorities. His dream was to bring the Ye Family to greater heights under his leadership. Today, thanks to his daughter, the Ye Family was about to rise greatly and become a super family clan!!

However, Ye Ling could not help but worry. He could become the Clan Master of the Ye Family partly due to luck, but this time, he was unable to control those senior members who were chased out by Ye Qingtang. Would he be able to control the powerful figures who were to pledge allegiance to the Ye Family in the future then…

Yet, thinking about it carefully, even a Yin Yang Perfected Lord would probably not harbor any evil designs should they know that his daughter was a Yang Lord.

The only reason why those powerful figures would be willing to join the Ye Family would be because of the fact that Ye Qingtang was a Yang Lord. Since that was the case, who would be so insensible to offend a Yang Lord's father?!

At this thought, Ye Ling was completely at ease.

"Great Elder."

Ye Qingtang looked at the Great Elder who was still dumbfounded and called him softly.

"Huh… Huh?!"

The Great Elder only returned to his senses when he saw Ye Qingtang walking towards him.

To the Great Elder, the lady before him was not just Young Lady Ye but also an unrivaled Yang Lord of this mainland!

A while ago, the death of that Qinglin Sect Grand Elder completely stunned the Grand Elder. To cultivators of their level, a Yin Lord of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm was already considered a supreme God, yet Ye Qingtang killed the Grand Elder in a second. Even more so, this lady was the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family. It was truly a massive shock.

"What are you thinking about, Great Elder?" Ye Qingtang looked at the elderly beside her and asked.

"Eldest Young Lady… It's nothing…" The Great Elder shook his head repeatedly.

Ye Qingtang had a pretty good impression of this Great Elder. When the Long Family came, the Great Elder still placed the family clan's honor as the first priority. Although his own grandson was severely injured by the Duan Family, he still had a heart.

"This spirit pill is for treating a Yin Yang Perfected Lord body. Dan Yifan was heavily injured from competing for the Ye Family previously. An ordinary spirit pill would take several months for him to recover. This spirit pill will allow him to recover fully in just a few hours and will not damage any of his martial foundations." Ye Qingtang smiled.

"This…"

The Great Elder looked at Ye Qingtang, astounded and overwhelmed by her favor. The lady before him was a Yang Lord, and she actually gave him a spirit pill on her own initiative and was so friendly to him. All of this seemed like a dream…

"Thank… Thank you Eldest Young Lady!" Agitation was written all over the Great Elder's face as he accepted the spirit pill with trembling hands.

"Bring it to Dan Yifan to treat his injuries first," Ye Qingtang said.

"Alright! I'll go take a look at Yifan first then!" The Great Elder was worried about Dan Yifan's injuries at the mention of his name.

After gaining Ye Qingtang's permission, the Great Elder turned and left.

"Second Elder, what happened to you?" Ye Ling looked at the Second Elder who was still dumbfounded and asked with furrowed brows.

The Second Elder took a deep breath to calm himself down only after Ye Ling called him several times.

He originally thought that the Ye Family and Ye Qingtang would definitely face a calamity today, but never had he thought that… the calamity would actually fall on the Long Family, Duan Family, and that previous Grand Elder of Qinglin Sect!

In just a short span of two years, Ye Qingtang actually progressed from a Connate cultivator into a Yang Lord who could stun the entire mainland

With the facts lying right before his eyes, he had to face it clearly even if it seemed a fantasy.

"Tang Tang! You… You actually… This…" The Second Elder was speechless as he looked at Ye Qingtang. He had never seen a Yin Yang Perfected Lord in his life before and all the more never dared to think that he could have any relations with a legendary Yang Lord!

However, the fact was that he was the second uncle of a Yang Lord!

Previously, the Second Elder tried to persuade Ye Qingtang to hand the Fiendcelestial Beast over to that Yin Yang Perfected Lord as he was afraid that something would happen to Ye Qingtang. Now, it seemed that he was overly worried…

"Second Uncle, keep these weapons and elixirs properly and distribute them to the new disciples of the Ye Family in the future. You can choose whatever weapons and elixirs you like. There's no need to hold yourself back as I still have a lot more at my side." As Ye Qingtang spoke, she handed all the items to the Second Elder.

"Haha. Sure, sure!" The Second Elder received the items and responded agitatedly. "I want to see who dares to offend our Ye Family from now on! Oh right, if the natural endowments of the future Ye Family disciples are bad, we must not want them!"

"…" Ye Qingtang stared blankly at the Second Elder.

…

Late in the night, Ye Qingtang, Ye Ling, the Great Elder, and the Second Elder were in the study room. The Third Elder had already left with Ye Qingtang's Divine Sense to recruit powerful figures suitable for the Ye Family.

After discussion, the eventual decision was to combine the entire Long Family and Duan Family as a part of the Ye Family. As for the disciples of the two family clans, they could leave. As long as they were not a direct descendant of the family clan, they would be considered if they wished to join the Ye Family.

The second morning, Clan Master Si and Si Ye personally paid a visit to the Ye Family.

Clan Master Si and Si Ye were already clearly aware of yesterday's incident. Never in their dreams would they have thought that Ye Qingtang was currently a Yang Lord!

"Grandfather Si." Ye Qingtang called when she saw Clan Master Si walking into the hall of the Ye residence.

"Hahaha, Tang Tang… You're still willing to call me Grandfather Si now. This is enough for me to boast for my entire lifetime!" Clan Master Si beamed.

"It's not just enough for grandfather to boast. The fact that my younger sister Qingtang is a Yang Lord is enough for me to boast about for ten lifetimes." Si Ye commented with a laugh.

Ye Qingtang laughed helplessly. "Grandfather Si is Qingtang's grandfather forever."

In reality, given Si Bai's martial talent, it was easy for Si Bai to become a Holy Venerate in the future now that he survived in this lifetime.

Of course, Clan Master Si and Si Ye did not know anything about this.

"Alright, Tang Tang. You said it. You can't eat your words!" Clan Master Si said hurriedly.

After using Ye Qingtang's elixir, Clan Master Si's illness disappeared in a night, and his martial skills improved another level. Presently, he was glowing with health and was extremely resplendent.

As for Si Ye, he was beaming with confidence with the superior yellow-grade sword hanging on his waist.

"Haha, Old Si, let's dispense with the formalities." The Great Elder laughed.

1010 Reform 4

Although there were some misunderstandings between the Si Family and the Ye Family in the past, the relationship between both family clans had been very amiable ever since Ye Qingtang treated Si Bai successfully.

"Old Si, if there's anything you want to say, why don't you just shoot it out?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.

Clan Master Si nodded and said, "Alright… I'll say it straight then… I wish to combine the Si Family into the Ye Family. It's pretty much sharing the spotlight of my Tang Tang."

Because of the Long Family, the Si Family had been on a gradual decline. However, if it could join the Ye Family, the situation would be completely different.

"This…"

After hearing what Clan Master Si said, the few elders and Ye Ling were a little surprised. This Old Si actually intended to combine the Si Family into the Ye Family?

Of course, it was not easy for them to make a decision for such matters. After all, Clan Master Si proposed this for the sake of Ye Qingtang.

"Tang Tang, what do you think?"

Second Elder looked at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang pondered for a moment and subsequently shook her head. "No."

Clan Master Si and Si Ye were taken aback by her reply.

The two of them initially thought that given their relations with Ye Qingtang, there should not be any problem even if they were to enter the Ye Family.

Ye Qingtang was currently an unrivaled Yang Lord, and if the Si Family was combined into the Ye Family, it would still be the best outcome even if the Si Family would cease to exist from then on.

An awkward smile emerged on Clan Master Si's face. He never thought that Ye Qingtang would reject so firmly.

"Grandfather Si, you want to combine the Si Family into the Ye Family merely because of my influence as a Yang Lord. Although I am a member of the Ye Family, I am also considered half a Si. Since that's the case, doesn't it mean that the Si Family also has a Yang Lord and Grandfather Si has a Yang Lord granddaughter? Why is there a need to inconvenience yourself by combining the Si Family into the Ye Family?" Ye Qingtang looked at the rather dejected Clan Master Si and smiled.

Clan Master Si was surprised to hear Ye Qingtang's response.

As a Yang Lord, Ye Qingtang actually said she was his granddaughter… half a Si…

Back when Ye Qingtang was younger, Grandfather Si treated her very well, and she had never forgotten about it. The fact that she could even enter Xuanling Sect was also because of Grandfather Si. Apart from this, there were countless other things Grandfather Si did for her, which showed that he treated her like his own granddaughter wholeheartedly.

How could Ye Qingtang treat the Si Family badly now?

Immediately, Ye Qingtang stood up and raise her right arm slightly, injecting her Divine Sense into Si Ye's glabella.

"This is…" Si Ye trembled at the appearance of an inexplicably huge amount of energy.

"Big Brother Si Ye, this is my Divine Sense which contains my will. With this energy, you should be able to recruit many powerful figures for the Si Family." Ye Qingtang replied with a smile.

"I see…" Si Ye understood the meaning in Ye Qingtang's words instantly.

If the Si Family said that they had a Yang Lord in their clan, no one in this world would believe them. However, if they could display Ye Qingtang's will, things would be completely different. There would definitely not be any hoax if a Yang Lord's mental energy appeared personally. It was said that many hidden clans in the past also used this method to recruit powerful figures.

"Hahaha, isn't this great then? Your Si Family also has centuries of history. If it is really combined into the Ye Family, Old Si would be the most unable to bear it." The Second Elder looked at Clan Master Si and laughed.

It was, however, that Ye Qingtang's actions were rather unexpected.

1011 Prosperity 1

Clan Master Si was caught off guard by Ye Qingtang. Just as the Second Elder of the Ye Family had said, the Si Family had had several centuries of history ever since its formation in Lin Town. If it was really combined into other family clans, it would indeed be a little difficult to accept. However, due to the oppression of the Long Family, the Si Family was almost at the end of their resources, and there were no other options at the time.

Yet, Ye Qingtang declared that she was half a Si and even injected the Divine Sense energy of a Yang Lord into Si Ye's glabella. As long as Si Ye displayed Ye Qingtang's Yang Lord will, there would definitely be countless powerful figures willing to join the Si Family to create a glorious future together.

"Tang Tang, thank you…"

Clan Master Si looked at Ye Qingtang and ultimately thanked her.

The Si Family's debt to Ye Qingtang could no longer be explained in words. Two years ago, it was also because of Ye Qingtang that Si Bai could survive.

Presently, even his chronic illness was eliminated by Ye Qingtang's precious elixirs, and in the future when the Si Family could become even more powerful, it was all because of Ye Qingtang as well. Apart from thanking Ye Qingtang, Clan Master Si did not know what else he could say.

However, Ye Qingtang shook her head gently and instead felt that Clan Master Si was too polite.

When Clan Master Si and Si Ye left, Ye Qingtang, Ye Ling, and the other elders set off for the Long Family and Duan Family.

However, the headquarters of both family clans were in shambles from the blow that Ye Qingtang dealt from the Ye residence, which almost destroyed these two headquarters completely.

Over several days, they finally cleared all the items from these two families and claimed it into the Ye Family.

Ye Ling also returned all the properties that the Long Family gobbled up from the Si Family back to the Si Family.

As for the disciples of the Long Family and Duan Family, all of them were dispelled. Some of those who wanted to join the Ye Family were all rejected by the Second Elder.

After all, given Ye Qingtang's current influence as a Yang Lord, there was no need for the Ye Family's disciples to be taken from the Long or Duan Family.

In just two to three days, everyone knew that the Long Family was wiped out and that the Ye Family had a Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

Countless young men and ladies from many other cities headed to Lin Town in hopes of taking a look at the glory of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord. However, the majority of them were rejected.

As more and more talented youngsters wanted to become a disciple of the Ye Family, the Ye Family also raised their standards. In order to become a Ye Family disciple, one's spirit root was not a concern, but their martial talent and character must pass the test.

As for the Si Family, it was also especially lively for them. With Ye Qingtang's will energy, Si Ye actually brought several Yin Yang Perfected Lords back to the Si Family, who eventually took on the Elder position of the Si Family. Most of the talented young people who were unable to enter the Ye Family ultimately turned to join the Si Family.

The Yin Yang Perfected Lord Elders of the Si Family were extremely agitated upon seeing Ye Qingtang as they had never seen a true Yang Lord in their lifetimes before.

Ye Qingtang's self-declaration as Clan Master Si's granddaughter and half a member of the Si Family allowed the Yin Yang Perfected Lords to protect and progress with the Si Family.

Another two days later, Third Elder finally rushed back to Lin Town after a tiring journey and brought back two elderlies whose hair was all white.

Both elders were already past a hundred years old. One of them was already in the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven while the other was at the peak of the Second Heaven.

1012 Prosperity 2

The Third Elder settled down the two elders in the main hall of the Ye residence.

"Third Elder… Where… Where did you find these powerful figures?" The Great Elder looked at the Third Elder in astonishment.

Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven and peak of Second Heaven were already considered a sect stabilizer even in super sects. It was simply hard to catch the eye of such people normally. How did Third Elder find these two people and even bring them back to the Ye Family…

Third Elder cackled proudly. "With Eldest Young Lady's will energy, do I still need to find them?"

"What do you mean?" The Great Elder did not understand.

"At the borders of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, I actively emitted Eldest Young Lady's will energy. Those martial cultivators who had not reached the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm were scared out of their pants and did not even dare to come near to where I was. However, several Yin Yang Perfected Lords felt the will energy of Eldest Young Lady and came over in curiosity… I took a fancy on these two powerful figures immediately and explained the situation to them…" The Third Elder laughed.

The Great Elder's lips twitched slightly after hearing the Third Elder's explanation. This Third Elder's ambitions are really great. He actually actively released Eldest Young Lady's will energy in order to attract the Yin Yang Perfected Lord figures over.

"There were six or seven Yin Yang Perfected Lords who came in total. After knowing that a Yang Lord was recruiting people into her clan… all of them requested to join…" The Third Elder continued with his explanation.

"Then… why are there only two people here? What about the remaining ones?" The Great Elder was very agitated and asked hurriedly.

"Remaining ones?" The Third Elder frowned slightly. "They were all chased away by those two elderlies… They are the most powerful, and other Yin Yang Perfected Lords did not dare to say anything…"

The Great Elder was speechless.

Just as the Great Elder and the Third Elder were chatting, Ye Ling rushed over with the Second Elder and Ye Qingtang.

After understanding the details of the situation, Ye Ling questioned. "What is the background of those two elders?"

"One of them is Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire, Bai Kui, while the other is an itinerant cultivator known as Daoist Zijin." Third Elder replied honestly.

"Daoist Zijin… Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire, Bai Kui?!"

Apart from Ye Qingtang, everyone else gasped after knowing the identity of those two people.

Both Daoist Zijin and Bai Kui were immensely reputable, especially Bai Kui, the Grand Imperial Sire of Formidable Heavens Dynasty, who had once been a warden of the Beiming Manor. However, something seemed to have happened, and he was expelled from Beiming Manor.

As for Daoist Zijin, he had quite a reputation as he single-handedly challenged a super sect decades ago.

"Let's go in and take a look," said Ye Qingtang.

Then, Ye Qingtang had already walked straight into the main hall.

Daoist Zijin and Bai Kui each took one side of the hall. Their brows furrowed slightly when they saw a young girl entering the hall.

Ye Ling, the Third Elder and the rest knew their place and did not follow Ye Qingtang into the hall. After all, it was better to have fewer people present in a meeting among the few Yin Yang Perfected Lords.

Ye Qingtang settled down at the central seat of the hall and looked at Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin. "I'm already aware of your identities. Do you really wish to join my Ye Family?"

After hearing that, Daoist Zijin said indifferently, "Let your clan's Yang Lord come and talk to us."

1013 Prosperity 3

"Alright." Ye Qingtang nodded. Without giving Daoist Zijin a chance to continue speaking, a tremendous force surged to the sky and enveloped the entire hall.

Under this tremendous force, both Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire, Bai Kui, and Daoist Zijin shuddered as though they were being suppressed by a divine force above the heavens. Their faces paled and breathing hastened. While they were seated far away, they still lost control of their bodies and could barely blink their eyes even if they wanted to.

The gap between a Yang Lord and Yin Lord was too huge. Not mentioning a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Second Heaven and Third Heaven, even a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Sixth Heaven would not have any ability to retaliate.

"Yang… Lord…"

Grand Imperial Sire Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin broke out in cold sweat profusely. This was absolutely overwhelming power that they could not revolt against.

How would the two of them have thought that this young lady before them was actually the owner of the will energy released by the Third Elder, an authentic Yang Lord!

A Yang Lord who was less than twenty years old… How exactly did she do it?!

After a few breaths, Ye Qingtang finally absorbed all her Yang Lord force back.

Only then did the complexion of Grand Imperial Sire Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin return back to normal. They heaved a sigh of relief. Being trapped in the force of a Yang Lord was too daunting.

"You are… that Yang Lord of Lin Town…" Daoist Zijin inspected Ye Qingtang with disbelief.

How old is this little girl only? She's actually a Yang Lord?!

They had seen a Yang Lord after living so many years but had never heard of such a young one. What kind of monster was she?!

"Yes, that's me," Ye Qingtang said straightforwardly. "The Ye Family requires powerful figures currently. Do the two of you truly want to join the Ye Family and progress together?"

After hearing Ye Qingtang, Grand Imperial Sire Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin exchanged a look. How many blessings did this family clan of a small town receive to actually produce a Yang Lord!

"I am here to take a look at the Yang Lord. The Ye Family possesses a Yang Lord… It is my honor to be able to join the Ye Family." Daoist Zijin rose and replied Ye Qingtang.

"There's no problem with me as well. However… May I know what your plan for the future of the Ye Family is?" Grand Imperial Sire Bai Kui looked at Ye Qingtang and asked.

"The first stage is to become the number one family clan of this mainland. The second stage is to leave this mainland, head to the Central Mainland, and become the first family clan there." Ye Qingtang responded.

Now that the Dimension Wall was already broken, there was no obstruction for the powerful figures of the Central Mainland to enter this mainland. Under such an attack, the only way for the Ye Family to survive was to become stronger continuously.

Of course, Ye Qingtang did not innocently wish for the Ye Family to achieve this in such a short span of time. However, in light of the impending crisis, she had to tell her plan to these powerful figures who joined the Ye Family to let them know that the Ye Family was not merely restricted to this mainland.

Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin were stunned by Ye Qingtang's words.

Make the Ye Family the number one family clan of the Central Mainland… How could this be possible…

It was said that there were legendary powerful figures of the Heavenly Venerate level in the Central Mainland…

1014 Prosperity 4

Yet, no matter what, the two people would not question a Yang Lord's words currently, though the ambitious statements satisfied Grand Imperial Sire Bai Kui.

"Since that's the case, this process will definitely be very tough. I hope that I can play a part to strive for this goal. I am willing to become a member of the Ye Family," Bai Kui said with a smile.

With this Yang Lord of the Ye Family, it was not too difficult to make Ye Family the number one family clan of this mainland. However, to expand out from this mainland and advance into the Central Mainland, it was almost impossible.

Of course, no matter what, the first step must be taken.

Their batch of people would be the pioneers of this route.

Under Ye Qingtang's signal, Ye Ling and the other elders slowly entered the hall in no time.

Ye Qingtang immediately introduced everyone to Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin.

The two elderlies cooperated. Before joining the Ye Family, they had already learned of its situation from the Third Elder.

The Ye Family was just an extremely ordinary small family clan in Lin Town; except, it produced a Yang Lord.

After knowing that Ye Ling was Ye Qingtang's father, Grand Imperial Sire Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin hurriedly stood up and introduced themselves.

Normally, to the two of them, a cultivator like Ye Ling could not even be compared to an ant. However, Ye Ling's daughter was a Yang Lord with combat power of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven peak; thus, the situation naturally was different.

"Seniors, it is really my honor and our Ye Family's honor to have you all join us. The Ye Family will require your great support in the future…" Ye Ling's expression was rather agitated at this instant.

Regardless of the Daoist Zijin or Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire, they seemed to exist in legends. Yet today, these two people appeared before him and even became a member of the Ye Family.

With the skills of Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin, there was no question at all, and they immediately became the distinguished elders of the Ye Family, whose authority in the Ye Family was only beneath the Clan Master.

Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin were extremely satisfied with this outcome.

"Oh right, Clan Master, Eldest Young Lady, does the Ye Family not have many disciples?" Daoist Zijin looked at Ye Ling and Ye Qingtang and asked.

Currently, Daoist Zijin and Bai Kui were already the distinguished elders of the Ye Family and were considered a family member and thus could speak freely.

Previously, Daoist Zijin realized that the Ye Family did not have many disciples and that the remaining disciples were not particularly gifted in martial skills and talent.

To Daoist Zijin and Bai Kui, since Ye Family had a scary Yang Lord like Ye Qingtang, its disciples should at least have a green spirit root and superior martial talent. Otherwise, they did not have the qualification to share the same surname as Ye Qingtang.

"Uh…"

The Second Elder appeared a little awkward.

Most of the previous Ye Family disciples were already expelled by Ye Qingtang, and while there were many talented youngsters who wanted to join the Ye Family recently, the Great Elder and the rest were unable to pick. As a result, the current Ye Family was still empty and had extremely few disciples. Compared to the current Si Family which was bursting with popularity, the Ye Family was worlds apart.

"With us and Eldest Young Lady, we do not have to worry about talented disciples. It will not be that easy even if those talented disciples of super sects wanted to join the Ye Family… However, I think that we should set a family clan assessment. Compared to a super sect's assessment, the difficulty level should be three to five times greater. This way, the disciples we pick would then be the elite talents," suggested Daoist Zijin.

After hearing that, the Ye Family elders looked at each other. They had never seen an ordinary sect's assessment before, much less a super sect's assessment, and were all the more unable to comprehend the concept of an assessment that was three to five times more difficult than that of a super sect.

"Elder Bai, Elder Zijin, we don't really understand… such matters… Neither do we really understand what a sect assessment really is. Can we trouble you two to help us with this?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.

Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin nodded. It would naturally be the best if this matter could be handed to them to settle. Otherwise, given the personality and exposure of the rest, the recruited Ye Family disciples would probably not hit the target.

This was not to say that Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin looked down on Ye Ling and the rest, but such was the fact. The difference between one's skills determined how much of the world a cultivator had seen. The wider the gap, the greater the difference in exposure. If not for Ye Qingtang, the two Yin Yang Perfected Lords would never have any relations with the Ye Family.

Ye Ling and the other elders were clearly aware of this point as well. To keep up with the footsteps of these two distinguished elders and even Ye Qingtang, the only choice was to become more powerful or interact with powerful figures. As time passed, there would be a substantial change.

"Alright, Clan Master, let Elder Bai Kui and I settle this matter then." Daoist Zijin nodded in reply.

"Elder Bai, Elder Zijin, before anything, I must make it clear that for the disciples that Ye Family recruits, we can relax on their martial cultivation realm and martial talent, but there must not be any issue with their character," Ye Qingtang said.

"Rest assured, Eldest Young Lady. We are aware of this." Bai Kui replied with a smile.

In recruiting disciples, a sect's greatest priority was the martial talent and skills of the disciples. However, for family clans, one's moral character was the most important premise.

"Alright. If the two of you need anything, feel free to inform me." Ye Qingtang smiled.

"Eldest Young Lady, there is no request for now. If we have any, we will definitely notify you straight." Daoist Zijin responded with a nod.

In the next few days, apart from setting the assessment venue and conditions, Daoist Zijin and Bai Kui even modestly sought advice from Ye Qingtang. Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin had been stuck in their cultivation realm for over ten years. In this realm, apart from one's own martial talent, their perception was even more important in order to advance further.

Since Ye Qingtang was a dignified Yang Lord, she must have extremely important experiences to share with them.

Ye Qingtang was not stingy and shared everything she knew, allowing Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin to benefit greatly and be brimming with joy.

Originally, the two of them thought that while Ye Qingtang was a Yang Lord, she probably did not have sufficient experience as she was too young. However, they eventually discovered that Ye Qingtang had an immense wealth of knowledge, and everything she knew amazed them. They did not really understand what she told them initially, but after figuring it out carefully, they gained much understanding.

1016 Flourish 1

On the third day, Daoist Zijin's residence was densely covered with spirit energy, and he actually advanced to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven after being stuck at the peak of the Second Heaven realm for over ten years. This drew Bai Kui's envy.

After Ye Ling and the other elders learned of this, they organized a banquet and invited the Si Family and their Yin Yang Perfected Lords.

Currently, apart from Ye Qingtang, the most powerful figures in Lin Town were Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin. It was not an exaggeration to proclaim them as the defenders of the town. At the same time, Lin Town rose up several levels and was completely different from its initial state.

For this banquet, Ye Qingtang was seated at the host seat, which gave Daoist Zijin face and boosted his ego.

His breakthrough was even celebrated by a Yang Lord. If this incident was spread, his other close friends at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm would simply find it unbelievable and hard to accept.

The next morning, Dan Yifan came to the study on his own to look for Ye Qingtang.

Dan Yifan sustained major injuries, and if he recuperated the normal way, he would require at least half a year's time to recover, and even his martial realm would be affected.

However, the spirit pill which Ye Qingtang gave the Great Elder was a healing medicine normally for Yin Yang Perfected Lords to use. To treat a Martial Qi Level One cultivator, it was as good as a divine pill. In just a few hours, Dan Yifan was almost fully recovered, and after a few days of recuperation, his body absorbed the medicinal benefits of the spirit pill completely and became much stronger than before.

"Se… Senior…"

Dan Yifan appeared rather timid as he looked at Ye Qingtang, who held an antique book in her hand.

Seeing Dan Yifan, Ye Qingtang chuckled. "Take a seat."

"Sit?"

Dan Yifan was stunned by Ye Qingtang's words and shook his head repeatedly. How would he dare to sit down before Ye Qingtang? Was this a joke?!

Previously, Dan Yifan always thought that Ye Qingtang was merely an outer sect disciple of Xuanling Sect. However, he heard from his grandfather that Ye Qingtang killed Qinglin Sect's Grand Elder with a hand, wiped out the Long and Duan Family with the flick of a finger, and that she was at the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven.

Initially, Dan Yifan did not believe these words, but over the past few days, he realized that even the Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire and the legendary Daoist Zijin joined the Ye Family as elders and were even extremely deferential to Ye Qingtang…

Aside, Dan Yifan discovered that the current Ye Family could no longer be compared to the previous Ye Family. The new young recruits were more and more frightening: most of them were above Martial Qi Level Three, and one of them was a fourteen-year-old half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord!

If Ye Qingtang was not a Yang Lord as his grandfather had said, it was impossible for the Ye Family to change this much.

"Se… Senior, I'll not sit… I am here today to thank you… If not for the spirit pill you bestowed, I would probably still be bedridden." Dan Yifan looked at Ye Qingtang in awe.

"You can just call me Ye Qingtang. Given my age, I cannot be your senior. If you're really not used to it, just call me Eldest Young Lady like before then." Ye Qingtang looked at the overcautious Dan Yifan and replied.

"Eldest Young Lady…" Dan Yifan nodded, but shock filled him. It was truly unbelievable how this legendary Yang Lord was rather easy to get along with.

"Eldest Young Lady, I don't wish to return to Leiting Sect already… I wish to join the Ye Family…" Dan Yifan said hurriedly.

Currently, the Ye Family's power was not what those super sects could compare to, much less an ordinary sect like Leiting Sect. Moreover, his grandfather was the Great Elder of the Ye Family. If he could remain in the Ye Family…

Previously, Dan Yifan told his grandfather about this thought, but his grandfather could not call the shots and could only let Dan Yifan ask Ye Qingtang.

Currently, to join the Ye Family and become a Ye Family disciple, one had to pass the assessment by Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin. Given Dan Yifan's talent and skills, it was almost impossible.

"If you wish to stay, you just need to let Elder Bai or Elder Zijin know." Ye Qingtang nodded.

Although Dan Yifan was proud and arrogant, he did not have a bad nature. After all, the very cause of his injury this time was because he helped the Ye Family. Thus, it was nothing to let him stay as a Ye Family disciple, and Ye Qingtang would not reject him.

Dan Yifan's eyes were filled with agitation and jubilee after hearing Ye Qingtang's words.

The current Ye Family was a place that ordinary cultivators could only look up to. Although the reputation of "Ye Family of Lin Town" was not yet widely known, this mainland would definitely know about it very soon.

If Dan Yifan could become a Ye Family disciple, the benefits were innumerable, and it would be a million times better than him being in Leiting Sect.

Furthermore, Dan Yifan did not have any sense of belonging to Leiting Sect either. Sects had always been cold and desolate, and there were too many schemes and plots between senior and junior brothers. Compared to that, the warmth and humanity of a family clan outshone.

"Eldest Young Lady."

Before Dan Yifan could say anything, a young teen in a Ye Family disciple uniform entered the study room with a reverent expression and greeted Ye Qingtang with cupped fists.

"What happened?" Ye Qingtang looked at the youth.

Ye Qingtang had some memory of this youth. He was a descendant of a royal bloodline of the Formidable Heavens Royals, where his father was a prince, and he possessed extremely powerful martial talent. His original name was Bai Leng. Elder Bai Kui adored this boy deeply; thus, he brought him to the Ye Family and changed his surname to 'Ye'. This youth was now called Ye Leng.

Ye Leng was only over ten years old but was already at Martial Qi Level Three Third Heaven. In Formidable Heavens Dynasty, he was a notorious little tyrant, and nobody dared to offend him. After finding out that the Ye Family had a Yang Lord, he was extremely willing to become a Ye Family disciple.

"Eldest Young Lady, some disciples are fighting at the training field," Ye Leng said.

Dan Yifan had a strange expression. Did he need to inform a Yang Lord of such matters?

"Why did you not report to an Elder?" Ye Qingtang stared at Ye Leng.

Then, Ye Leng flushed immediately. "Uh… I did not have any chance to see you previously… so…"

Ye Qingtang was rather helpless.

As Ye Leng had said, she had never seen any of the newly recruited Ye Family disciples before, and none of those talented disciples who joined out of admiration for her dared to disturb her. This Ye Leng, however, was an exception and did not pass up any chances.

"Go, let's take a look."

Ye Qingtang stood up. It was also a good opportunity for her to get to know the new Ye Family disciples.

"Alright!" Ye Leng nodded repeatedly.

Soon, Ye Leng caught sight of Dan Yifan and said, "This is…"

"I am Dan Yifan, a new Ye Family disciple. Please take care of me in the future," introduced Dan Yifan hurriedly as he inspected the person who was about the same age as himself but was already at Martial Qi Level Three Third Heaven.

"Ye Family disciple… Your surname is Dan?" Ye Leng asked with a strange expression.

"Oh… Dan Yifan is my original name. From now on, I am Ye Yifan." Ye Yifan explained hurriedly after realizing he made a mistake.

Ye Leng nodded and looked at Ye Qingtang again only to realize that she had already left the study room. Then, the two youth chased up hurriedly.

The current Ye Family was extremely different. The headquarters expanded by more than ten times, and three additional branches were built. Where the headquarters was mostly filled with talented disciples, the branches were slightly lacking even though each Branch Master was a newly recruited Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

Dozens of foreign faces surrounded the two sides of the training field. Some disciples were caught in a tussle with the gleam of swords cutting the air and cursing sounds filling the arena.

Before becoming Ye Family disciples, these few youths already knew each other and bore enmity. After something happened today, their conflict escalated into a fight.

The cultivation base of the few youths was all at Martial Qi Level Three Third Heaven, and they could be ranked near the top out of all the new Ye Family disciples.

As for the surrounding onlookers, some were even half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords. Yet, no one was willing to poke their nose into this matter and were only watching from the side.

"Stop!"

At this instant, Ye Leng walked into the crowd and shouted to those in the scuffle.

Everyone was surprised. Never did they think that someone would meddle with this matter.

The young men who were originally fighting in the training field indeed stopped their actions and fixed their eyes on Ye Leng.

"Who are you to poke your nose into our issue?!" One of the youths looked at Ye Leng and shouted coldly.

Apart from those in the tussle, the onlookers also could not help but give Ye Leng a side-eye. Very few people would step in for such matters if it had nothing to do with themselves as there was no meaning to it.

Ye Leng did not respond and merely looked at Ye Qingtang, who arrived with him.

As what others were thinking, this matter was not what he could handle.

Ye Qingtang immediately swept a look across the entire field, and her eyes eventually landed on those few youths.

These youths were at least in Martial Qi Level Three Third Heaven, and their martial endowment was pretty good, even surpassing those of talented disciples of super sects.

A portion of them was recruited by Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire, Bai Kui, and a number of them were by Daoist Zijin. Naturally, the remaining disciples came to try their luck upon learning that a Yang Lord appeared in Lin Town. After they knew that it was the Ye Family and passed the assessment by Elder Bai Kui and Elder Zijin, they officially changed their surname to Ye and became a Ye Family disciple.

Currently, there were over hundreds of Ye Family disciples, and most of these new talented disciples did not know each other prior to joining the Ye Family. As such, they had never seen Ye Leng's nor Ye Qingtang's faces before.

"Ha… How interesting." One of the young men looked at Ye Qingtang and scorned. "Who are you too? Do you really like to meddle with other people's affairs?"

"Watch what you say. Don't be too impudent!" Ye Leng shouted at those young men.

"It's none of your business!"

Someone retorted immediately.

1019 Prosperity 4

Ye Qingtang began pondering as she looked at these youths.

All of them were outstanding talents of the younger generation, but they were also not short of the typical flaws of true talents: conceit and arrogance.

Naturally, these young talents just entered the Ye Family and still did not have any sense of belonging to the Ye Family. Or perhaps, they treated a family clan as a sect without realizing that the nature of a family clan and a sect were intrinsically different, for there was no need to change the surname to Ye otherwise.

"Since you all have already joined the Ye Family, the Ye Family disciples are all one family. The past grudges shall be written off as of today." Ye Qingtang slowly spoke after a moment.

The masses were taken aback by Ye Qingtang's words. From the tone of this lady, she was actually condemning them.

"Who are you to come here and condemn us?"

A young man on the field frowned deeply as he stared at Ye Qingtang and questioned.

"She is the Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family." Then, Ye Yifan, who was beside Ye Qingtang, replied.

"Eldest Young Lady of the Ye Family…"

Everyone present was taken aback.

Before they could process it, the expression of a young lady at the half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm changed. "You are… Ye Family's Yang Lord…"

"What?!"

"The Yang Lord of the Ye Family?!"

Surprise filled everyone's faces as they looked at Ye Qingtang.

The very reason they came to Lin Town, were willing to change their surname to Ye, and become a Ye Family disciple was that the Ye Family produced a Yang Lord.

However, no one had expected that the Yang Lord of the Ye Family was actually a lady. Moreover, she was very young and seemed to be around their age from her appearance.

"Eldest Young Lady, why are you here?"

Then, Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin arrived as well and were surprised to see Ye Qingtang present.

Seeing that the two Yin Yang Perfected Lords were so reverent to Ye Qingtang, the disciples on the field finally realized that that lady before them was none other than the Yang Lord of the Ye Family.

Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin were both at Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven yet were so respectful and reverent to this young lady. As long as one was not a fool, anyone could guess the true identity of this young lady.

At this instant, everyone's eyes burned with awe and veneration as they looked at Ye Qingtang.

"Greetings, Yang Lord!"

Dozens of people greeted in uniformity while those who were previously in a tussle were blanked out.

Never would they have expected that this young lady with a striking appearance was actually that unrivaled Yang Lord…

Almost at the same time, the few young men's faces paled, and they immediately bowed to Ye Qingtang.

"We were unaware that it's the Yang Lord… Please punish us!"

Cold sweat trickled down the forehead of one of the youths as fear filled him. He almost offended a Yang Lord just now…

"Rise."

Ye Qingtang waved a hand with an indifferent expression.

The youths felt as though they were pardoned from a crime after hearing Ye Qingtang.

Initially, Elder Bai Kui and Elder Zijin heard that a fight broke out amongst the disciples and thus came over to check on the situation. Unexpectedly, they met Ye Qingtang here.

Since Ye Qingtang was here to handle the issue currently, they naturally would not utter a word and gave Ye Qingtang the full power to act.

1020 Cultivation Technique

"What are the few of you fighting over?" Very quickly, Ye Qingtang looked at the youths and asked.

"Uh… Yang Lord, we originally have some enmity… We never thought that we would meet in the Ye Family… so…"

Ye Qingtang could guess such matters without explanation.

"You all are Ye Family disciples now. A family clan is different from a sect. Since you all have taken the surname Ye, all of you are family from now on. No one is to mention past enmities." Ye Qingtang looked at the youths and said.

Now that the Yang Lord of the Ye Family spoke, those youths naturally did not dare to continue fighting. They nodded their heads in the promise that such incidents would not happen again.

"Yes. As you said, we will definitely not fight with our family from now on!" The youths said eagerly.

After Ye Qingtang interfered in the matter, there were indeed no more conflicts among the Ye Family disciples while those with enmity from before buried the hatchet and no longer fought.

As Ye Qingtang had said, since they had already changed to take the surname Ye and became a Ye Family disciple, they were all family. Unlike the heartless and apathetic environment of sects, the brotherhood and family spirit of a family clan were apparent, especially in the Ye Family: while some of the senior members' skills were insufficient, they were rich with humanity. To the younger generation who were already used to the struggle in sects, such kindness was hard to come by.

Over the past few days, Ye Qingtang rebuilt a Treasure Pavilion and Martial Skills Pavilion, of which mostly housed Yin Yang Perfected Lord cultivation techniques, in the Ye Family. There were countless of such cultivation techniques in Ye Qingtang's memory.

At Ye Qingtang's peak, she was a Holy Venerate, and she could casually retrieve many Yin Yang Perfected Lord cultivation techniques from her memory. If the Ye Family needed, Ye Qingtang could also produce the highest-leveled skills that only Holy Venerates could cultivate.

However, one had to reach the respective martial realm to cultivate remarkable martial skills. For Yin Yang Perfected Lord martial skills, one had to at least be at the Martial Qi Level Three realm, and it was a pure dream if a Connate cultivator wished to cultivate a Yin Yang Perfected Lord martial skill. If a Connate cultivator forcefully cultivated too many martial skills that were beyond their martial realm, they would only produce mental demons, and their body would explode on its own after a long time. It was extremely dangerous.

Apart from wanting the new Ye Family disciples to cultivate vigorously and diligently, Ye Qingtang placed many Yin Yang Perfected Lord cultivation techniques in the Martial Skills Pavilion in hope that those disciples would have a sense of belonging to the Ye Family as soon as possible.

Naturally, the Ye Family disciples had to pay a certain price to obtain the Yin Yang Perfected Lord cultivation techniques. For example, they had to accomplish different missions and obtain the Ye Family honor points. Only after earning sufficient points and obtaining the recognition of the elders would one have the qualifications to enter the Martial Skills Pavilion and exchange the honor points for suitable cultivation techniques to cultivate.

This did not just apply to the main headquarters of the Ye Family, and all the other three branches had the exact same rule.

At this instant, Ye Qingtang was in the study room. Shutting her eyes, she was in deep thought as she searched for the cultivation techniques from her memory.

Her current martial realm was completely unable to keep up with the remarkable martial skills she cultivated in the past.

1021 Yunxiao Sect Elder

Awhile later, Ye Qingtang suddenly opened her eyes. She arrived at the mountain behind the Ye residence in a moment.

Swoosh!

With a piercing sound, Ye Qingtang's body duplicated from one to two and from two to four.

Several ladies with the same appearance as Ye Qingtang looked at each other without uttering a word.

Subsequently, Ye Qingtang activated her divine sense, and the incarnations immediately engaged in a battle. Fifteen minutes later, they faded away and vanished without a trace.

"It's still a little insufficient…"

Ye Qingtang mumbled.

Ye Qingtang was currently executing an extremely special martial skill. Apart from requiring the cultivator to own a significantly high martial realm, the true Incarnation Technique was even more demanding on the cultivator's mental level, where one could barely control and cultivate the skill only when they possessed the mental energy level of a Heavenly Venerate. Otherwise, when one's mental energy was insufficient, they would be instantly devoured by the incarnation, which was an extremely scary situation.

However, Ye Qingtang lived two lifetimes, and her mental energy was immensely powerful; even an ordinary Holy Venerate would lose out to her in a competition of mental energy level.

When cultivated to the finest, the Incarnation Technique would allow the incarnations to share the same sight as the original body. If the Venerate's mental energy was powerful enough, they could even give the incarnation a certain amount of analytical ability and instincts.

For Ye Qingtang, if it was said that her current level was sufficient, it was because her mental energy was extremely powerful and enough to master the Incarnation Technique. Yet, in another light, her current level was insufficient because she was only a Yang Lord of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm.

Ultimately, she could only barely execute the Incarnation Technique. According to her observation, the incarnations at most possessed the combat power of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Sixth Heaven, which was neither powerful nor weak. However, given her current level, the cultivated Incarnation Technique was enough. Ye Qingtang believed that in no time, she could raise her Incarnation Technique to the peak and allow each incarnation to possess the same martial realm as herself.

As for palm skill and swordplay, Ye Qingtang had already chosen techniques and re-cultivated them. Cultivating these again were much simpler in comparison to the Incarnation Technique.

At the same time, a few kilometers outside Lin Town.

Two emotionless elderlies in white shirts headed in the direction of Lin Town.

A totem of Yunxiao Sect was embroidered on the clothes of these two elderlies, symbolizing that they were Yunxiao Sect elders.

Back when Ye Qingtang obtained the Fiendcelestial Beast in the Hundred Level Hell of Avicinaraka mystic realm, Yunxiao Sect burned with rage and immediately deployed its elders to lay low around the Ye Family of Lin Town. In order to not alert anyone, they did not strike at the Ye Family and merely waited for Ye Qingtang to return back to Lin Town and the Ye Family.

If Ye Qingtang returned to the Ye Family, the two elders would attack immediately and capture Ye Qingtang back to Yunxiao Sect.

Nonetheless, sometime before, Beiming Manor, the strongest force in Formidable Heavens Dynasty, convened all the super sects in Formidable Heavens Dynasty, and all senior members of these super sects were required to attend. As Yunxiao Sect elders, the two elderlies in white were unable to avoid it and thus could only leave Lin Town temporarily and return to Yunxiao Sect, where they headed to Beiming Manor together with other Yunxiao Sect senior members.

Today, the two elders just left Beiming Manor and rushed back to Lin Town immediately without any delay.

Although there was once news that Ye Qingtang seemed to have appeared in Nine Nights Dynasty, the Ye Family of Lin Town was ultimately her roots. Her father and family were all here, and the two Yunxiao Sect elders did not believe that Ye Qingtang would not return to visit her loved ones.

1022 To the Doorstep

The moment the two Yunxiao Sect elders entered Lin Town, their expressions changed slightly, and they were rather surprised.

For some reason, the Long Family, which had been a tyrant in Lin Town over the past two years, disappeared without a trace as though it simply evaporated into thin air.

Nonetheless, whatever that happened to the Long Family naturally had nothing to do with the two Yunxiao Sect elders, and they merely found it strange.

"Elder Yin, look at that person!"

One of the elderlies frowned slightly as he pointed at the lady who was walking toward the Si Residence.

Immediately, the elderly who was called Elder Yin turned around and sized up that lady.

"Elder Gu, take out the portrait of Ye Qingtang," Elder Yin said hurriedly.

Elder Gu took out the portrait. After unrolling the portrait, the person on it was none other than Ye Qingtang.

Once the two Yunxiao Sect elders confirmed that it was Ye Qingtang, they scoffed automatically.

They had been waiting in Lin Town for such a long time, and their target Ye Qingtang finally appeared.

"Sect Master is truly wise. He knew that Ye Qingtang would definitely return to Lin Town and ordered us to hide here and wait. Now, we have finally found her." Elder Gu mumbled as he kept the portrait.

The two Yunxiao Sect elders did not see wrong; that lady was indeed Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang had just left the Ye Family when the two Yunxiao Sect elders, who were just returning to Lin Town, discovered her. Currently, Ye Qingtang was walking toward the Si Residence.

"Elder Gu, do you think we should strike now or wait a while?" Elder Yin asked when he saw that Ye Qingtang entered the Si Residence.

Elder Gu pondered for a moment and eventually answered. "Let's wait first. The Fiendcelestial Beast is not following beside Ye Qingtang… If we act rashly and alert her now, our plan may backfire."

The two people decided to wait for Ye Qingtang to leave the Si Residence and then strike at the Ye Residence.

Other than fearing that it would alert Ye Qingtang, capturing and forcing an answer out of her in the Si Residence might cause rumors to spread around. As such, they might as well attack her in the Ye Residence.

Just like that, the two Yunxiao Sect elders waited outside the door of the Si Residence for at least four hours. Only at noon did Ye Qingtang step out of the residence slowly.

"It's really strange…"

Elder Gu's brows furrowed slightly. "According to logic, if such a nobody obtained a Fiendcelestial Beast, she would definitely keep it by her side all the time… But there is no sight of the Fiendcelestial Beast around her…"

Elder Yin responded. "Perhaps that lady left the Fiendcelestial Beast in the Ye Residence. There's no hurry. We can take action once this lady returns to the Ye Residence. Are you afraid that we can't find that Fiendcelestial Beast?"

Just a few steps after leaving the Si Residence, Ye Qingtang took a look behind discreetly.

While those two Yunxiao Sect elders concealed themselves very well, they were unable to escape Ye Qingtang's eyes.

"Yunxiao Sect…"

Ye Qingtang mumbled in thought.

Unexpectedly, Yunxiao Sect still remembered her even after such a long time.

After returning to Formidable Heavens Dynasty, Ye Qingtang had not even found the time to settle scores with Yunxiao Sect, but they came to her doorstep instead. How really considerate…

Ye Qingtang remained placid and simply did not care about those two Yunxiao Sect elders. She continued to head back to the Ye Residence.

In the dark, the two Yunxiao Sect elders saw that Ye Qingtang was returning to the Ye Residence and thus immediately headed in its direction.

1023 The Funniest Joke 1

Ye Qingtang was not at all surprised to see people from the Yunxiao Sect appear in Lin Town. In fact, she seemed to think it was perfectly natural.

The Yunxiao Sect had been aware that she had obtained a Fiendcelestial Beast in the Hell of Avicinaraka. They would certainly not let it slide and would send senior members of the sect to Lin Town to stake out the Ye House and wait for her to appear.

Little white tiger had been sleeping for nearly half a month. It had awakened once during this period to tell Ye Qingtang that its body was undergoing a transformation and would need a lot of sleep.

Ye Qingtang had already ordered a room to be cleared out in the Ye House for the little white tiger. She had placed the little white tiger in the room and asked the lightning dragon to guard it.

Now, the Yunxiao Sect was unaware that it was courting disaster and was still thinking of snatching Ye Qingtang's Fiendcelestial Beast…

After she returned to the Ye House, Ye Qingtang retreated to the study without making an appearance.

At that moment, the two elders from the Yunxiao Sect arrived in the vicinity of the Ye House. After studying it for a moment, they realized that the Ye House seemed rather different.

The Ye Family had previously been an ordinary clan in Lin Town. But now, it looked incredibly imposing, and the residence seemed to have expanded greatly.

"Who are you!"

Before the two elders from the Yunxiao Sect could enter the Ye House, they were blocked by several Ye Family disciples who were guarding the door.

"This is the territory of the Ye Family. Miscellaneous people cannot approach!" One of the talented youths who had just joined the Ye Family shouted coldly.

"Get lost." Elder Gu from the Yunxiao Sect looked at the Ye Family disciple who had spoken and spoke calmly.

When he heard Elder Gu's words, the Ye Family disciple's expression immediately darkened. No one had ever dared to speak to him like that.

"Ah… he's quite a braggart."

Another young girl's gaze fell on Elder Gu of the Yunxiao Sect.

"I asked you if Ye Qingtang has returned." Elder Yin spoke at that moment.

"Oh, you know our family's Eldest Young Lady?"

When they heard Elder Yin mention Ye Qingtang's name, the Ye Family disciples were slightly taken aback. If these were the Eldest Young Lady's friends, then they were in trouble. But they could not be blamed because these two men had not made themselves clear upon arrival.

"Answer my question." Elder Yin was rather impatient.

"Eldest Young Lady is indeed at home," one of the Ye Family disciples said.

"Very good. Has Ye Qingtang brought a little white tiger back, and is that little white tiger in the Ye Family residence?" Elder Yin continued.

When they heard the elderly man's tone, the Ye Family disciples felt that something was amiss. If these two men were Eldest Young Lady's friends, why would they speak so condescendingly?

One of them realized that the totem unique to the Yunxiao Sect was embroidered on these two elderly men's robes and belongings, and they seemed to be senior members of a super sect.

"We are elders of the Yunxiao Sect. Ye Qingtang has committed atrocious crimes and will be judged by the sect. If you want to live, you better not play any tricks. Tell us the truth," Elder Gu said coldly.

"Eldest Young Lady is going to be judged by the sect?"

When they heard Elder Yin's words, the newly minted Ye Family disciples exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

This was the funniest joke they had heard in their lives! Even they had no regard for the little Yunxiao Sect. Now, it was wildly asserting that it would judge an invincible Yang Lord, a peak Seventh Heaven Yin Yang Perfected Lord?! Even the Beiming Manor would not dare to be so arrogant, much less the Yunxiao Sect with its power as a super sect!

1024 Playing Tricks

The Beiming Manor was one of the three most powerful forces in this mainland. With the backing of a powerful Yang Lord, its residence was filled with inscrutably powerful people. In this mainland, only the Peerless School and the Phantom Valley, with their extraordinary powers, could compare with the Beiming Manor.

However, even the lofty Beiming Manor, with its extraordinary powers, might hesitate to speak of judging an invincible Yang Lord!

What was this Yunxiao Sect? It was not even worthy of licking Beiming Manor's boots. Even if the Master of the Yunxiao Sect arrived, he would only be worthy of kneeling to them. But these two, who were merely elders, dared to speak with an arrogance that even the Beiming Manor might not dare to assume.

Elder Gu and Elder Yin were enraged when they saw the Ye Family disciples roar with laughter.

"Ignorant youths, you must have a death wish!" Elder Gu roared with anger as he looked at the Ye Family. He was poised to strike.

However, one of the youths hurriedly smiled and said, "Powerful sirs, please don't be angry. As you said, our Eldest Young Lady has brought a little white tiger back to the Ye House… so we will allow the two powerful sirs to enter the Ye House."

With that, the youth actually made way and retreated to the side.

When they saw that, the other youths shook their head. This youth was just too mischievous. If they allowed these two super sect members into the Ye House, they would probably not leave alive. Even the other Ye Family disciples could take their lives, not to speak of the others present.

However, these youths were not stupid. They could tell that the Yunxiao Sect had some grievance with their Eldest Young Lady. However, none of them could understand how they had summoned up the courage to attempt to capture a powerful Yang Lord.

Whatever the case may be, since they had spoken so arrogantly and been so rude to their Eldest Young Lady, they must certainly die, and it would be all right to toy with them first.

"Hadn't you better scram!" Elder Gu shouted coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm going, we're all going. Powerful sirs, please don't be angry. Our Eldest Young Lady is in residence. If the powerful sirs want to capture her, now is the time!" One of the youths spoke laughingly while the rest scattered in all directions.

Elder Yin and Elder Gu thought that the attitude these Ye Family disciples displayed was normal. After all, when nobodies encountered a truly powerful cultivator, they all adopted this attitude. They could even betray their own parents, much less the Eldest Young Lady.

"Hehe, family clans."

Elder Yin laughed disdainfully and, together with Elder Gu, stepped over the threshold of the Ye House and entered the residence.

After a moment, Elders Yin and Gu arrived in the courtyard of the Ye House.

At that moment, more than a hundred talented youths were in the Ye Family courtyard, sparring and chatting.

The most powerful of the Ye Family's younger generation had already entered the realm of half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord and was on par with the two elders from the Yunxiao Sect.

However, when Elder Yin and Elder Gu saw the younger members of the Ye Family, they did not think much of the latter.

A bystander could only identify the Martial Qi realm of a martial arts cultivator when he fought or deliberately showed his aura.

In addition, these two elders had not considered what Martial Qi realm the Ye Family's disciples were in, so they did not study them.

In the same way, the two elders from the Yunxiao Sect had not bothered about what Martial Qi realm Ye Qingtang was in. If they did not even respect the master of the Xuanling Sect, why would they bother with the cultivation level of a disciple?

1025 Dare To Make Trouble In Our Presence

At the same time, Ye Qingtang would certainly not pay attention to the cultivation realm of the two Yunxiao Sect elders. Even if someone told her that the these two Yunxiao Sect elders were Heavenly Venerates, Ye Qingtang would definitely not believe them, and vice versa.

With her power, it would be a joke if Ye Qingtang still needed to be cautious and afraid of the threat these Yunxiao Sect elders posed.

Whether it was the Long Family of the past or the two Yunxiao Sect elders of the present, their way of thinking was all alike.

No matter what, Elder Yin and Elder Gu would never have imagined that among the hundred-plus Ye Family disciples, even the weakest had already achieved the Second Heaven of Martial Qi Level Three. The most powerful one was already a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord despite his young age and might be even more powerful than the two of them…

"Listen up, everyone!"

Elder Yin suddenly swept a glance at everyone present and shouted loudly. The force of a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord spilled forth.

The hundred-plus talented youths from the Ye Family immediately looked over at Elder Yin and Elder Gu.

Some of the talented disciples who were sparring in the martial arts arena stopped and looked in bewilderment at the two Yunxiao Sect elders.

Had these two old men gone crazy?!

However, the hundred-plus Ye Family disciples studied them for a moment and then realized that these two elderly men were unfamiliar and had never appeared in the Ye House before. They also did not seem like members of the Ye Family.

"Yunxiao Sect?"

At that moment, several Ye Family disciples noticed the Yunxiao Sect totem embroidered on these two elderly men's white robes, showing that they were elders of the Yunxiao Sect.

"May I ask why both of you have come to the Ye House?" A youth with a cold expression looked at Elder Gu and Elder Yun and asked.

"Ask Ye Qingtang to come out," said Elder Gu coldly.

Before they entered the Ye House, Elder Gu and Elder Yin had used their force to seal the entire Ye House. Even if Ye Qingtang knew that the Yunxiao Sect elders had arrived and tried to flee, it would be in vain. Sealed in by the force of a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, Ye Qingtang was effectively trapped in jail like sheep led to the slaughterhouse. It was impossible for her to run away from them!

"What… are you saying? Do you want to see our Eldest Young Lady?"

The youth immediately frowned. These two were merely half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords, yet they were so arrogant that they dared to call a Yang Lord by name… and they even wanted the Yang Lord to come and meet them?!

"Perhaps you didn't understand what I said. I asked Ye Qingtang to come out." Elder Gu roared coldly as he looked at the youth. After a moment, the force of a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord swept through the area and enclosed the youth.

A cold light flashed across the youth's eyes. He was unafraid of the force displayed by Elder Gu. With an expressionless face, he said coldly, "You… are seeking your death."

"Hahaha, these two old fellows actually used their force to seal the Ye House. I'm curious as to what they're up to."

When they heard the Ye Family disciple's ignorant words, a murderous look surfaced in the eyes of Elder Gu and Elder Yin. These Ye Family disciples deserved to die.

"Yunxiao Sect elders? Who do you think you are? Why don't you look at where you are before you make trouble in our presence?!" Another fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord stepped forward. He waved his hand and instantly destroyed the force emitted by Elder Gu.

1026 Undermining The Foundation 1

At that moment, Elder Yin and Elder Gu were completely stunned.

They looked with disbelief at the youth standing before them.

With just a wave of his hand, this youth had actually completely dispersed their half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord's force.

"How… is that possible!"

Elder Yin was especially shocked. He was previously so confident, but now… his half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord's force had been dispersed by an ordinary Ye Family disciple with a wave of his hand.

Just what level of cultivation had this youth achieved that he could instantly dissipate the force of a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord?!

"Oi… young man, what is your name?" Elder Gu of the Yunxiao Sect steadied himself and asked the youth with the cold expression.

"Are the two of your worthy of knowing my name?" The youth shouted coldly as he swept a glance at Elder Gu and Elder Yin.

When they heard the youth's words, the two Yunxiao Sect elders were immediately enraged.

They were Yunxiao Sect elders of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty. No matter where they went, everyone treated them with respect and spoke to them cautiously.

But this young fellow dared to speak to them so rudely!

"You're merely a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord despite your old age, yet you dare to come to our Ye House with this kind of attitude. Yunxiao Sect elders are rubbish. I think you two old fellows are too ignorant and arrogant." A clear female voice suddenly reached the ears of Elder Yin and Elder Gu.

The two Yunxiao Sect elders saw a beautiful young girl among the Ye Family members looking at them mockingly.

It was not just the girl, even the other Ye Family members were looking at the two world-famous super sect elders. Their eyes showed only disdain, with no trace of respect.

Elder Yin and Elder Gu had never been treated like that before. Their expressions darkened.

They thought of their lofty status in the Yunxiao Sect where numerous disciples cudgeled their brains to think of a way to enter their sect, but now…

These Ye Family disciples dared to look at them so rudely!

Elder Yin and Elder Gu looked coldly at the numerous Ye Family disciples and immediately thought of making trouble for them.

However… the youth who spoke previously swiftly sensed the change in their expressions and did not give the two Yunxiao Sect elders any opportunity to make trouble. He directly aimed a heavy blow at them!

As the youth struck a blow, a blast of half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord force instantly shot up and spread in all directions. The spreading force immediately enclosed the two Yunxiao Sect elders.

When they felt the impact of the force, both Elder Yin and Elder Gu were shocked.

They were both half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords but had not imagined that this youth's martial strength would be on par with them, having attained the realm of half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord!

Even the top disciples of the Yunxiao Sect could not compare with him in terms of ability.

Only a few arrogant supernaturally talented youths in the Yunxiao Sect might be able to compare with him…

In addition, this youth was probably a little younger than those supernaturally talented youths in the Yunxiao Sect!

Elder Yin and Elder Gu immediately backed away from the force of the youth's blow. They retreated to avoid his blow.

"Hmm, I thought the Ye Family had suddenly become daring. It turns out they've invited a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord from somewhere to hold the fort," Elder Gu said coldly.

In the eyes of Elder Yin and Elder Gu, a low-class family clan like the Ye Family was as insignificant as an ant.

Even so, the two Yunxiao Sect elders still had not realized that the Ye Family of today was not the same as that of the past. They only thought that this youth, who was a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, had some connection with the Ye Family and had been invited by the Ye Family to hold the fort.

Furthermore, the Ye Family's current disdainful attitude was clearly due to this half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, who was holding the fort.

However, did the Ye Family not realize that they could not move these two Yunxiao Sect elders by simply depending on a young half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord?!

The Ye Family currently had only one half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, but both of them were half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords!

With two against one, victory was certain!

"Young man, I take your outstanding talent into consideration. If you don't die in an accident, you will certainly achieve greatness in the future. Remaining in the Ye House will bring you nothing but harm." Elder Yin looked at the youth and spoke suddenly.

"That's right. Young fellow, if you are willing to come to our Yunxiao Sect, with your martial talents and powers, you could even become a disciple of the Sect Master. You will have a glorious future. However, if you stubbornly persist in resisting the Yunxiao Sect for the sake of the Ye Family, you will be damned and your bones reduced to ashes!" Elder Gu also nodded.

It was not that Elder Yin and Elder Gu wished to nurture talent, but the youth standing before them was on par with them. Even if they could kill him, it would take some effort. However, if they could bring this superbly talented youth back to the Yunxiao Sect to become a Yunxiao Sect disciple, the Sect Master would be very pleased. Furthermore, it would greatly benefit the Yunxiao Sect to have another supernaturally talented person like that.

In addition, they did not think that a lowly family clan like the Ye Family could retain a supernaturally talented person like that. Anyone with the least bit of intelligence could see the divide between the Yunxiao Sect and the Ye Family.

No matter what connection this youth had with the Ye Family, he should also know that the benefits the Yunxiao Sect could give him were far greater than that of the little Ye Family.

When they heard the two Yunxiao Sect elders invite the youth to join the Yunxiao Sect, the hundred-plus youths in the Ye House courtyard all looked rather peculiar.

These two Yunxiao Sect elders actually wanted to attract a Ye Family disciple over to the Yunxiao Sect to cultivate… that was really funny…

They expended a huge amount of effort to pass Elder Bai Kui and Elder Zi Jin's almost pervertedly difficult test to become Ye Family disciples.

And now these two Yunxiao Sect elders actually wanted them to leave the Ye Family and join the Yunxiao Sect?

Was this some kind of joke?!

Was the Yunxiao Sect worthy?!

"You want me to join the Yunxiao Sect?" The youth stared at the two Yunxiao Sect elders and laughed coldly.

When they heard that, Elder Gu assumed that the youth had accepted his invitation. He put on an arrogant attitude and said, "Not everyone, just you."

The youth's expression immediately became rather strange. A faint smile seemed to hang on his lips.

"Why, do you Yunxiao Sect elders think only he is worthy, but not us?"

Just as Elder Gu finished speaking, several youths slowly emerged from the crowd of Ye Family members.

1028 Undermining The Foundation 3

Before the two Yunxiao Sect elders could speak, the youths' martial force shot skywards and seemed to disperse the clouds in the sky.

These forces belonging to half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords spilled forth together like a flood and gathered together like a rushing river. The shocking martial force caused everyone to shudder.

The two Yunxiao Sect elders were shocked when they sensed the force of several other half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords. They had not expected the Ye Family to have as many as four or five half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords!

Just as Elder Yin and Elder Gu were in shock…

"What's the matter? You think highly of those half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords but are disdainful of us. Since when has the Yunxiao Sect become so greedy?!" The remaining hundred-plus Ye Family disciples immediately spoke up.

"Brothers and sisters, let us show these two lofty Yunxiao Sect elders if we are worthy to enter their Yunxiao Sect to cultivate." One of the slightly older Ye Family disciples glanced at everyone and spoke.

"My thoughts exactly."

"Haha… I resent being looked down on by the Yunxiao Sect."

"It is merely the Yunxiao Sect, but it has become so greedy that it dares to come to our Ye House and make trouble…"

"Let's show them whether we Ye Family disciples are worthy of being noticed by the Yunxiao Sect!"

As they spoke, over a hundred martial forces were simultaneously produced by the hundred Ye Family disciples. Like a formless gust of air, it swept the area within a radius of ten miles.

Among the hundred over martial forces, the weakest of them had already entered the realm of Martial Qi Level Three while the strongest was one step away from transforming into a Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

This force seemed to fill the heavens, the earth, the seas, and the mountains. Even every corner of the world seemed to be permeated with it.

It was like the raging of ocean waves or like the tremors of a mountain quaking; like the heavens being rent or like the earth collapsing.

The integration of a hundred-plus martial forces was terrifying, especially the explosion that followed its coalition, which extended for a radius of ten miles.

At the same time, everyone from the Si Family and the three branches of the Ye Family also sensed it.

The Master of the Si Family did not know what had happened in the Ye House. However, he unhesitatingly led the powerful cultivators in his family straight to the Ye House.

The three branches of the Ye Family and the three powerful Yin Yang Perfected Lords led the senior members and talented youths of the branches and also hurried to the Ye Family headquarters in unison.

At that moment in the Ye Family's headquarters, the two Yunxiao Sect elders who, in the midst of these waves of forces, were like lone boats adrift on a raging sea.

"What's going on?!"

Ye Ling and Second Elder rapidly sensed this frightening force and appeared at the same time, bewildered.

They thought that the talented disciples had been sparring and making mischief and that they had caused trouble. However, when they arrived, things did not seem to be what they had imagined.

"Greetings, Master and Elders."

When they saw that Ye Ling and a few elders had appeared, the Ye Family disciples in the courtyard withdrew their martial force and spoke respectfully.

"Who are they?" The Great Elder asked when he looked at the two Yunxiao Sect elders and saw that they were strangers.

"Great Elder, these two are Yunxiao Sect elders." Ye Leng laughed.

"What… Yunxiao Sect?!"

1029 So What If It“s Yunxiao Sect 1

When they heard that, the expressions of the Great Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and even the Master, Ye Ling, all changed.

As a super sect, the intimidating reputation of the Yunxiao Sect was deeply rooted in the elders and Ye Ling. When they heard that two Yunxiao Sect elders had come to the Ye House, they were stunned, and that was why their expressions changed.

"Yunxiao Sect… why… why have they come to the Ye House…" Third Elder was slightly pale, and cold sweat seeped from his brow.

The Great Elder frowned slightly and thought for a moment before he looked at the Third Elder and said, "Third Elder… what do you think of the Yunxiao Sect…"

The Third Elder was taken aback by these words. "Great Elder, the Yunxiao Sect is a super sect… and super sects…"

The Third Elder had not yet completed his sentence when he suddenly snapped out of his trance. The fear on his face slowly faded, and he also frowned. "That's right. So what if it's the Yunxiao Sect?"

"Master, what do you think of the Yunxiao Sect?" The Third Elder stared at Ye Ling.

"What about… the Yunxiao Sect?" Ye Ling was lost.

"Master, Elders, the Yunxiao Sect is nothing!" The Third Elder's expression changed, and he regained his composure.

Their Ye Family currently held high status. If even the weakest of their talented young disciples went forward, they would compare favorably with the top supernaturally talented disciples in the Yunxiao Sect. Besides this mainland's Peerless School, Beiming Manor, and Phantom Valley, which were supremely powerful, no other super sect's power could compare with that of the Ye Family, be it in the Nine Nights Dynasty or the Formidable Heavens Dynasty!

"That's right, the Yunxiao Sect is nothing!" Second Elder nodded rapidly.

When he heard that the Yunxiao Sect elders had arrived, the Second Elder had reverted to his old ways of thinking that the Yunxiao Sect was a huge entity. If the Yunxiao Sect wanted to, they could exterminate a small family clan like theirs on a whim.

However, the Second Elder and the others had forgotten that the Ye Family of the present could not be compared to the Ye Family of the past.

In the past, if the Yunxiao Sect elders had made a personal appearance, everyone from the Ye Family would naturally show profound respect and humility. However, that was the past, not the present.

The present Ye Family was not the Ye Family of the past.

"Yunxiao Sect?" The Great Elder frowned slightly. "What about the Yunxiao Sect? Is our Ye House a place where anyone can just go in and out casually? If they wish to enter our Ye House, even the Sect Master must announce his intentions in advance and wait for our approval, much less the elders!"

"Great Elder, you may not be aware that these two Yunxiao Sect elders are not here to visit the Ye House." One of the Ye Family disciples, Ye Leng, suddenly spoke up.

When they heard that, the Great Elder, the Third Elder, and the others were slightly taken aback. If they were not here on a visit, then why were they here?

"Great Elder, these two Yunxiao Sect elders are unbearably arrogant. They have come to the Ye House to capture Eldest Young Lady. They have also been talking wildly about exterminating our Ye Family!" Ye Leng looked at Ye Ling and the elders and added fuel to the fire.

"What did you say!" The Second Elder was immediately enraged.

"Every word that I have said is true… isn't that right…" Ye Leng immediately looked at Ye Yifan, who had changed his surname to Ye.

"That's right… Elder Brother Ye Leng is speaking the truth." Ye Yifan nodded repeatedly and corroborated Ye Leng's words.

"Yifan, is what you are saying true?!" The Great Elder looked at Ye Yifan.

"Grandfather, it is all true. The hundred-plus brothers and sisters present also heard them clearly. Every word is true." Ye Yifan's face was filled with certainty.

1030 So What If It“s Yunxiao Sect 2

"Impudent!" The Second Elder looked at Elder Gu and Elder Yin and roared furiously. "You're merely Yunxiao Sect elders, yet you're so arrogant in my Ye Family. With just you two good-for-nothings, how dare you all think of capturing the Eldest Young Lady of my Ye Family?!"

Elder Yin and Elder Gu were taken aback. A while ago, they clearly noticed that these senior members of the Ye Family appeared fearful after learning of their identities, but that fear was crushed in an instant.

Not only were the senior members not fearful, but they were even disrespectful.

Elder Gu and Elder Yin gritted their teeth and glared at Ye Family members.

Never had they thought that there would be a day where they would be humiliated by cultivators at the ordinary martial realm. How dare they proclaim that they, half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords, are good-for-nothings?!

Ye Ling's expression changed drastically in an instant. Looking at those two Yunxiao Sect elders, his eyes twinkled coldly. "How audacious of you two! How dare mere two half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords barge into my Ye Family to capture my daughter?! Not mentioning two Yunxiao Sect elders, even if your Yunxiao Sect Sect Master brings all the powerful figures over here, my Ye Family will ensure that all of you will not be able to return!"

Two days ago, Ye Ling and Ye Qingtang had a long talk, and he learned of the enmity between her and Yunxiao Sect.

Their Ye Family had yet to find time to stir troubles for Yunxiao Sect, but Yunxiao Sect delivered themselves to the Ye Family on their own accord!

"Humph! A mere Yunxiao Sect truly doesn't know fear. Since you two are already here at my Ye Residence today, just stay then. Don't go anywhere else!" The Great Elder shouted coldly.

At this instant, the two Yunxiao Sect elders were surprised and even in disbelief.

Before they headed to Lin Town, they already knew about the rough situation of the Ye Family.

The Ye Family was only a small family clan of the remote Lin Town, and a family clan like the Ye Family was unworthy of even clinging on to the threshold of Yunxiao Sect.

Yet, who could have thought that the Ye Family would change so drastically in just half a month?

Leaving aside the hundreds of frighteningly-talented young disciples in the Ye Family, what the Yunxiao Sect elders could not comprehend was the useless Clan Master and elders of the Ye Family: these people clearly knew that they were Yunxiao Sect elders yet still dared to speak so wildly and say such things…

No matter how slow the two Yunxiao Sect elders were, they now realized that something was wrong with the Ye Family.

However, Elder Yin and Elder Gu did not dare to act rashly. The hundreds of Ye Family disciples were pretty skilled, and if they fought them, they were afraid that the two of them would be defeated by these members of the younger generation of the Ye Family…

Then, Clan Master Si brought a few Yin Yang Perfected Lords of the Si Family into the Ye Residence.

"What happened?" Clan Master Si noticed that the atmosphere of the Ye Family was a little off and asked immediately.

Powerful oppressive forces were emitted from the Ye Residence previously, and Clan Master Si thought that something happened. It turned out that it was indeed so after entering the Ye Residence.

The Third Elder recounted the situation to the Si Family members immediately.

After listening to what the Third Elder said, Clan Master Si sized up Elder Yin and Elder Gu and scoffed.

Although Yunxiao Sect was a super sect and a mighty force in the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, it could not even be compared to the Si Family currently and yet was still so arrogant. They were just two elders, and they dared to come to the Ye Family to arrest Tang Tang?!

1031 So What If It“s Yunxiao Sect 3

Who exactly gave them this courage?!

What laughing stock!

At this instant, the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Branch Masters of the other three branches rushed over to the headquarters along with their respective senior members and talented disciples.

In no time, the Ye Family field was filled with people, and all of them were powerful figures.

"Haha, Yunxiao Sect is truly a good example for the super sects. If the Nine Nights Dynasty and Formidable Heavens Dynasty were as bold as the Yunxiao Sect, it would really be worthwhile." A Branch Master scorned as he stared at Elder Yin and Elder Gu.

The two Yunxiao Sect elders had the skills of a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord and came to the current Ye Residence just by themselves, wanting to catch the Ye Family's Eldest Young Lady who was a Yang Lord…

Was the entire Yunxiao Sect a group of idiots?!

"This…"

At this moment, Elder Yin and Elder Gu were struck with astonishment. Regardless of the Ye Family or Si Family, numerous Yin Yang Perfected Lords actually appeared in both families!

The two Yunxiao Sect elders even knew the names of some of the Yin Yang Perfected Lords!

These people were not even supposed to appear in Lin Town, yet for some reason, they were all gathered in this remote town.

"How can this be… Yin Yang Perfected Lord… You all… This…" Feeling the powerful skills of several Yin Yang Perfected Lords, Elder Gu trembled slightly. Their Yunxiao Sect merely had two Yin Yang Perfected Lords: one of them was the Grand Elder, who did not participate in the affairs of the external world, while the other was the Sect Master…

Yet right before their eyes…

There were actually numerous Yin Yang Perfected Lords in the Ye Family!!

In terms of the number of Yin Yang Perfected Lords, the Ye Family actually had much more than Yunxiao Sect!!

"Do Yunxiao Sect and Eldest Young Lady have enmity?"

Suddenly, Elder Bai Kui and Elder Zijin walked over slowly with ten youths behind them.

Elder Bai Kui and Elder Zijin were administering an assessment for the new young talents previously. About two hundred people participated, but only these ten people truly passed the assessment. Moreover, Elder Bai Kui realized that the Massacre Bloodline energy was activated in the body of one of the youths, and it was extremely impressive.

Once the assessment ended, Elder Bai Kui and Elder Zijin wanted to bring these newly-recruited disciples to Ye Qingtang and introduce that youth with the Massacre Bloodline to Ye Qingtang. Yet, they just returned to the Ye Residence and was faced with this situation.

"Yunxiao Sect…?"

The ten youths behind Elder Bai Kui and Elder Zijin had strange expressions. That Yunxiao Sect actually came to cause trouble to the Ye Family… Were they tired of living?

Half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lords came to the Ye Family to stir trouble and wanted to capture a Yang Lord; they were truly exposing themselves to ridicule when such a matter was made known to others.

"Bai… Bai Kui… Formidable Heavens Dynasty… Grand Imperial Sire!"

Elder Gu was extremely startled after seeing Bai Kui.

"Daoist Zijin…"

Elder Yin's expression changed greatly when his eyes landed on Daoist Zijin.

Regardless of Bai Kui or Daoist Zijin, both were renowned powerful figures of this mainland. Especially Bai Kui, not only was he the Grand Imperial Sire of Formidable Heavens Dynasty, his martial skills were almost the best, for he possessed a cultivation base of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven!

1032 So What If It“s Yunxiao Sect 4

The two Yunxiao Sect elders were dumbfounded as they looked at Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin in disbelief. Why did the two renowned powerful figures of this mainland suddenly appear in the Ye Family…

Even until then, Elder Gu and Elder Yin were still unaware of what exactly had happened in the Ye Family, and everything that happened was already beyond their comprehension.

"How do you intend to settle these two people?" Daoist Zijin looked at Bai Kui and asked.

Upon hearing that, Bai Kui waved a hand. "You should ask Eldest Young Lady".

"The two Yin Yang Perfected Lords of Yunxiao Sect came to the Ye Residence to capture Eldest Young Lady and offended the Ye Family. I think there's no need to ask Eldest Young Lady about these kinds of matters. Let's just put them to death," Daoist Zijin said.

As they heard that Daoist Zijin wanted to execute the two of them, Elder Gu's and Elder Yin's expression changed drastically.

Even until then, Elder Gu and Elder Yin still did not know what happened exactly and why the situation developed to this stage.

"What do you think, Clan Master?" Elder Zijin looked at Ye Ling and asked.

Ye Ling pondered for a moment and subsequently said, "These two Yunxiao Sect elders are audacious. Let's execute them as Elder Zijin had suggested."

If it was in the past, Ye Ling would not even have dared to think about this. However, the current Ye Family was worlds apart from before, and a mere Yunxiao Sect was nothing to them.

Both Elder Yin and Elder Gu were completely dumbfounded.

They simply could not understand the drastic change in the Ye Family that seemed to happen in a night: not only did the Ye Family have plenty of insanely-talented young disciples, but Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire, Bai Kui, and Daoist Zijin even became elders as well…

With just the skills of Elder Bai Kui and Elder Yin, it was enough to contend against Yunxiao Sect. It was also to say that the current Ye Family was simply no weaker than Yunxiao Sect. Apart from the foundation of the two parties, the quality of the Ye Family disciples surpassed that of Yunxiao Sect by leaps and bounds, and the cultivation skills of Yunxiao Sect Sect Master might lose out to Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin as well…

When Daoist Zijin waved his right arm, Elder Guy and Elder Yin turned into dust before everyone's eyes.

As the Great Elder and Second Elder watched the two Yunxiao Sect elders disappear, their expressions changed. Even though the current Ye Family was extremely powerful, the inherent mindset of the past still made them feel as though they were in a dream.

Looking at the Ye Family disciples, they were extremely calm as though everything was deserved and right.

After the two Yunxiao Sect elders died, Ye Qingtang finally appeared and came to the field. She did not even have the thought of showing herself to two mere Yunxiao Sect elders.

"Eldest Young Lady." Elder Bai Kui greeted respectfully when he noticed Ye Qingtang.

"Greetings, Eldest Young Lady."

The Branch Masters and Yin Yang Perfected Lord of the Si Family bowed hurriedly.

The young talents present all looked towards Ye Qingtang in admiration.

"This is… the Yang Lord?!"

The batch of disciples that Elder Bai Kui brought over looked at Ye Qingtang with eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

The lady before them was not much older than them and simply seemed like the same age, yet she was already a Yang Lord of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven…

1033 Return to the Sect 1

Naturally, no one dared to voice their doubts.

"From today onward, the Ye Family will wage war against Yunxiao Sect. I want Yunxiao Sect to cease to exist." Ye Qingtang declared.

Ye Ling and the Second Elder were startled. Ye Qingtang actually planned to annihilate Yunxiao Sect…

However, given the combat powers of a Yang Lord, it was an easy feat to annihilate Yunxiao Sect.

Although a sect like Yunxiao Sect had extremely powerful foundations, given Ye Qingtang's Yang Lord combat power, it was not impossible to completely destroy Yunxiao Sect.

Currently, the Ye Family was already strong enough, and Xuanling Sect came to mind.

To completely wipe out Xuanling Sect, which had a strong foundation, time was required. The pressing matter at the moment was to head to Xuanling Sect and rescue it from Yunxiao Sect.

Furthermore, it was time to settle the scores with Yunxiao Sect.

After the trip to the Dragon Vein, Ye Qingtang's martial realm entered the Yang Lord of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord, and she could easily rescue Xuanling Sect without using the power of her bloodline.

However, it was not simple to annihilate Yunxiao Sect.

Although Yunxiao Sect did not have any Yang Lords, a sect's foundation was extremely powerful.

For example, in the battle between Xuanling Sect and Yunxiao Sect, Yunxiao Sect's skills surpassed that of Xuanling Sect massively, but Xuanling Sect could still inflict huge damage by relying on its heritage and foundation.

Even an ordinary sect like Xuanling Sect had such frightening foundation, much less Yunxiao Sect, a super sect.

"Eldest Young Lady, with those Yunxiao Sect senior members, there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just that we are unclear of Yunxiao Sect's foundation and heritage." Daoist Zijin looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

Ye Qingtang was fully aware of this point without Daoist Zijin's reminder as well.

Given the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven cultivation base of Daoist Zijin and Bai Kui, they could defeat Yunxiao Sect's Grand Elder and Sect Master. However, once Yunxiao Sect used their foundation and went all out, the outcome would be uncertain.

To completely destroy Yunxiao Sect, it was probably insufficient with just Bai Kui, Daoist Zijin, and the new Yin Yang Perfected Lords who joined the Ye Family.

"Eldest Young Lady, I'm afraid you will also need to be present to annihilate Yunxiao Sect," Elder Bai Kui looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

Ye Qingtang nodded slightly.

After discussing the details with Elder Bai Kui and the rest, Ye Qingtang departed from Lin Town and flew towards Xuanling Sect.

Currently, the little white tiger's seemed to be growing; thus, it was still in a deep sleep. As such, Ye Qingtang left it at the Ye Family and did not bring it along with her.

Given Ye Qingtang's current speed, she had already arrived at the periphery of Xuanling Sect in less than half a day.

The sect, which was originally floating in the sky, however, landed on the ground, and the entire sect was enveloped by a faint golden screen.

This screen was initially set up by the Blood Moon Holy Lord and could sustain for only half a year.

Presently, this screen was no longer as strong as initially, and its light was increasingly dimming.

Several Yunxiao Sect disciples guarded the surroundings of Xuanling Sect. Once this screen broke, they would notify the senior members of the sect immediately and wipe out Xuanling Sect without sparing anyone.

"Quickly look! That lady…"

1034 Return to the Sect 2

One of the Yunxiao Sect disciples was a little surprised to see Ye Qingtang walking towards Xuanling Sect slowly.

"Why is that lady so familiar-looking?"

Before long, another Yunxiao Sect disciple exclaimed in shock. "Ye Qingtang!"

Although these Yunxiao Sect disciples had never seen Ye Qingtang face to face, they had seen her portrait before.

"That Ye Qingtang appeared in the Hell of Avicinaraka mystic realm previously and even obtained a Fiendcelestial Beast. Quick, inform the higher-ups!"

A Yunxiao Sect disciple's eyes were burning with desire.

"Although Ye Qingtang is only an ordinary disciple of Xuanling Sect, she was enraged our Yunxiao Sect and was listed on the Assassination Roll… Hehe, I never thought that my luck would be so good…"

A male in white stared at Ye Qingtang, and his lips curled into an icy snicker.

"Ye Qingtang's skull is indeed valuable. However, it's said that Ye Qingtang obtained the Fiendcelestial Beast in the Hell of Avicinaraka mystic realm… If we kill her and end up not being able to find the Fiendcelestial Beast… wouldn't the sect not forgive us?" Another man spoke up.

"Humph. What about that. Let's just break Ye Qingtang's limbs and keep her alive on her last breath."

"Wait wait… A Fiendcelestial Beast is very scary, and Ye Qingtang obtained it. No matter how weak Ye Qingtang's martial skills are, she still possesses the Fiendcelestial Beast… Would we be able to block the attack of the Fiendcelestial Beast?"

"Hehe, what are you afraid of… that Fiendcelestial Beast is merely an infant."

"That's right. How lethal can it be if it could be taken by a Xuanling Sect disciple? There's nothing to be fearful of!"

Then, the few of them immediately rushed towards Ye Qingtang without hesitation.

"Stop!"

The youth in the lead stared at Ye Qingtang and shouted coldly.

Upon hearing that, Ye Qingtang stopped in her tracks slightly and looked at the men before her.

"You are Ye Qingtang." The man in the lead sneered.

"That's right." There were no emotions on Ye Qingtang's face.

"You're a lady, but I never thought that you would be so bold." The Yunxiao Sect disciples snickered when the lady before them admitted her identity so simply.

Back when Ye Qingtang was in Xuanling Sect, she was merely an ordinary inner sect disciple, but she formed a deep hatred with Yunxiao Sect and was listed on the Assassination Roll.

After such a long time, Ye Qingtang reappeared outside Xuanling Sect, and this was a great thing for the Yunxiao Sect disciples.

"Ye Qingtang, if you are sensible, hand over that infant Fiendcelestial Beast, and we can consider sparing your life. What do you think?" One of the Yunxiao Sect disciples looked at Ye Qingtang and sneered.

However, before this Yunxiao Sect disciple could continue speaking, Ye Qingtang raised her right arm a little, and the disciple died instantly without anyone seeing how Ye Qingtang did it.

"This…"

The remaining Yunxiao Sect disciples were left dumbstruck and in disbelief.

To these Yunxiao Sect disciples, Ye Qingtang's attack was too quick, and they simply did not see how Ye Qingtang attacked.

Without giving the people a chance to speak, Ye Qingtang slaughtered all the Yunxiao Sect disciples in the surroundings in just the blink of an eye.

These disciples were already at the peak of Martial Qi Level Two Third Heaven, and it was considered pretty good. Yet, before Ye Qingtang, they were as frail as pieces of paper.

1035 Return to the Sect 3

After killing all the ignorant Yunxiao Sect disciples, Ye Qingtang's eyes slowly landed on the defense barrier around Xuanling Sect.

This barrier was implemented by her cheap little brother, the Blood Moon Holy Lord, whom she was extremely grateful for. Had he not appeared in the end back then, even Ye Qingtang would be uncertain of how the situation would have progressed.

What she could be certain of, though, was that Xuanling Sect definitely would not have persisted until today.

In Xuanling Sect, there were Ye Qingtang's good friends such as Qin Huan and Yun Shu, her Master, Elder Mo, as well as Elder Qin, who treated her rather well…

However, it was a pity that the Grand Elder was no longer here today.

Ye Qingtang did not have any hatred toward the Grand Elder. From a certain aspect, the Grand Elder was even more authentic and human.

In Xuanling Sect.

Qin Huan, Yun Shu, and others were gathered in a corner.

It had been several months since they had been trapped in Xuanling Sect. The blood-colored screen above Xuanling Sect gradually dimmed and was staunchly different from its initial state.

Moreover, the masses trapped in Xuanling Sect were almost running out of supplies.

The Xuanling Sect disciples and senior executives had been taking their food and drinks from within Xuanling Sect, and all of the stockpiles were stored previously.

However, these supplies were almost depleted after nearly half a year, and there were barely any water sources remaining.

Currently, the disciples in Xuanling Sect did not even have water to clean themselves with, much less have food to fill their stomachs.

About a month ago, a few Xuanling Sect disciples took the risk and left the barrier formation, wanting to avoid the Yunxiao Sect disciples and search for water. However, they were discovered eventually and died in the hands of the Yunxiao Sect disciples.

As sect disciples, they could bear with not having water to wash up. However, not consuming food over a long time was not what they could withstand given their martial cultivation realm.

Compared to the Xuanling Sect disciples, the elders and senior executives were naturally much more powerful in terms of martial cultivation, and thus, their need for food was much smaller. Although the elders and senior executives had already taken out their own food and distributed to the disciples, it was still unable to solve this critical situation.

Many Xuanling Sect disciples were nearing the borders of insanity due to the lack of water and food.

Yet despite so, no one dared to leave the defense barrier ever since those Xuanling Sect disciples who left it were tragically killed by the Yunxiao Sect people.

"Ah…"

Qin Huan looked at the pale Yun Shu beside him and sighed. "I wonder how Junior Sister Ye is doing."

At the mention of Ye Qingtang, Yun Shu and Lin Long opened their eyes instantly. The few of them missed Ye Qingtang dearly, but they were trapped within Xuanling Sect for almost half a year and simply could not get any information from the outside world.

"Junior Sister Ye will definitely be fine," Lin Long said.

Qin Huan shook his head. "That may not be so. I heard that Junior Sister Ye was listed onto the Assassination Roll by Yunxiao Sect. It's said that the reward surpassed the total rewards for killing the first and third person on the list…"

"Qin Huan, can't you wish some good for Junior Sister Ye?" Gu Yanqiu rolled his eyes at Qin Huan and said helplessly.

"Nonsense. Of course, I wish for Junior Sister Ye to be safe and sound, but what I said is the truth. Junior Sister Ye treated Yunxiao Sect that way previously and caused Yunxiao Sect to lose face… In addition to such tempting rewards, I'm afraid Junior Sister Ye is having a hard time."

1036 Pray

The few of them were extremely worried about Ye Qingtang as well.

The war between Xuanling Sect and Yunxiao Sect was extremely horrific. Although the Blood Moon Sect appeared afterward, the Ultimate Elder suddenly showed up too, thus causing Xuanling Sect to be in this state.

However, if Ye Qingtang did not appear as the Blood Moon Holy Lady, Xuanling Sect would probably have been annihilated by Yunxiao Sect already.

"Don't worry. Junior Sister Ye is a dignified Blood Moon Holy Lady. Blood Moon Sect is such a strong force. How can anything happen to Junior Sister Ye?" Yun Shu said.

"Although the Blood Moon Sect is powerful, it is the enemy of this entire mainland. It is an evil cult!" Qin Huan said hurriedly.

Upon hearing that, some miserable-looking Xuanling Sect disciples fixed their eyes on Qin Huan successively.

If there was no Ye Qingtang or evil cult as mentioned by Qin Huan, they would have already become corpses a long time ago and not talking as they were right now.

"Without the Blood Moon Sect, we would have been dead already," Lin Long said.

Qin Huan nodded without retort. His eyes landed on a tomb forest not far away as an inexplicable sorrow emerged on his face.

In this half year, the disciples who once fought for Xuanling Sect sustained heavy injuries and were unable to be treated by the outside world, eventually passing on. In the past, these brothers and sisters were not afraid of strong enemies, but in the end, they were unable to persist and could no longer see the rays of hope.

Other than the Xuanling Sect disciples, there were several wardens and senior executives who were severely injured as well. In addition to this was the poor environment conditions which resulted in damage to their martial foundation, causing their martial skills to dip extensively. Unable to resolve this mental distress, they eventually fell into depression and died.

At this instant, Elder Mo and Elder Qin arrived in the vicinity of the Martial Arts Hall. Looking at the Xuanling Sect disciples who were lying on the ground and seated everywhere, they could not help but sigh.

The sight of this dilapidated Xuanling Sect led them to recall the prosperity of the past.

"Greetings Sect Master… and two Elders."

Seeing that the Sect Master and the elders arrived at the Martial Arts Hall, the Xuanling Sect disciples hurriedly stood up and bowed at them.

Noticing the situation, the Xuanling Sect Sect Master hurriedly waved his hands. "There's no need to bow. Quickly rest. Don't waste your energy."

Looking at the scrawny and listless Xuanling Sect disciples and then recalling memories of them in the past, the Sect Master was in anguish. It was as though there were billions of needles poking at his heart.

A long while later, Elder Qin and Elder Mo followed the Xuanling Sect Sect Master to a tomb forest ahead.

There were hundreds of tombs in the forest.

The bodies of a portion of them no longer existed since the war; thus, the sect could only build a tomb containing the personal effects of the deceased to mourn those valiant Xuanling Sect disciples who died in the battle.

At the same time, Qin Huan, Yun Shu, and many other disciples followed the Sect Master to the tomb forest.

"Brothers, we are here to visit you…"

Many Xuanling Sect disciples immediately kneeled and bowed before the tombs.

Looking at these nameless tombs, it was as though they returned to the night before the great war.

Everyone drank and chatted together and learned from each other before the bonfire; it was as if those voices and faces never left.

The battle cry seemed to ring in their ears again at this very moment.

We use our blood to soak Xuanling's flag!

We use our hearts to light Xuanling's anger!

We use our hands to hit Xuanling's drums!

1037 Sect Protector Divine Beas

The battle cries still seemed to echo in their ears.

Those long-gone faces and familiar bodies were imprinted in the minds of the masses eternally and would never be erased.

Sometime later, the Xuanling Sect Sect Master slowly kneeled beside the countless graves.

Noticing the situation, Elder Mo, Elder Qin, and the Xuanling Sect disciples fell on their knees successively and bowed to those heroes who protected the sect with their lives.

"Junior Brother Zhou!"

A shout erupted suddenly.

Everyone quickly turned around and looked behind.

A young man who was all stick and bones completely fainted when he bowed.

Noticing the situation, Elder Qin rushed forward hurriedly and held up that young man who was void of color. After inspecting for a moment, he sighed softly.

This young Xuanling Sect disciple was yet another victim of the lack of food supplied. He had not consumed anything for too long, and his martial realm was insufficient from the start, which caused him to faint from hunger.

The current Xuanling Sect was already depleted of all supplies, and the river was all dried up. There no longer was any consumables in the sect.

A cultivator and ordinary human was different in that a cultivator's need for food would gradually decrease as their martial realm improved. However, these sect disciples had not reached that stage yet. Moreover, the body would not be replenished if it did not consume anything for a long time, and this would also pose as a life danger over the long run.

"I remember… the sect still has a few spirit animals…" A long time later, Xuanling Sect Sect Master looked at Elder Qin and said.

Elder Qin and Elder Mo nodded instinctively.

There were indeed a few old spirit animals remaining in the sect. They had rendered their highest service in battles for the sect and were fed and taken care of for the rest of their lifetimes by the sect after they aged.

"Don't worry, Sect Master. The spirit animals can barely absorb the spirit energy in the surroundings and don't need to consume anything at the moment," said Elder Mo as he thought the Sect Master was afraid that the spirit animals would die from hunger.

However, resolution filled the Sect Master's eyes as he said, "Kill them."

"What?!"

The two elders and everyone else at the scene were taken aback by what the Xuanling Sect Sect Master had said.

"Distribute the flesh and blood of the spirit animals to our sect disciples. As long as they can hold out an additional day." Xuanling Sect Sect Master seemed to age by dozens of years in an instant.

"But… Sect Master, for the sect, those spirit animals once…" Elder Qin's body trembled slightly. One of the spirit animals had been in Xuanling Sect for a longer time than he did and was even older than him.

"Elder Qin… I understand what you wish to say." Xuanling Sect Sect Master nodded.

At this moment, the middle-aged man seemed like an elderly who was about to pass on, and his voice quivered.

"But… these kids… are all about to die from hunger… Is there any other solution?" Xuanling Sect Sect Master uttered.

Indeed, if there was still no food, how much longer could these sect disciples withhold? Was it one day or one month?

Even if he were to become a sinner of Xuanling Sect, the Xuanling Sect Sect Master could not bear for these disciples to end up dying from hunger or thirst.

As a cultivator, they could die from battles, but how could they… die from hunger!

At this moment, the disciples were dead silent as well. They did not know what to say, and even if they wanted to, they were almost out of energy.

However, before Xuanling Sect Sect Master could continue to say something, a terrifying roar sounded from outside the sect.

An enormous creature hovered above Xuanling Sect completely.

Above that enormous creatures were a number of Yunxiao Sect elders and senior executives.

"Yunxiao Sect… Sect protector divine beast!

Please go to to read the latest chapters for free

1038 It“s You 1

Everyone was startled and even in disbelief when they saw the giant creature outside Xuanling Sect.

After the Yunxiao Sect Protector Divine Beast was injured by the Blood Moon Holy Lord, it was sent back to Yunxiao Sect to recuperate. Unexpectedly, it was actually this powerful now.

The past Yunxiao Sect Protector Divine Beast and the current one were simply worlds apart.

Once spirit animals like these advanced in level, their skills would increase massively.

"The Yunxiao Sect Protector Divine Beast… actually advanced in level…" Surprise etched across Elder Mo's face as he looked at the giant creature shrouding over the entire sect.

Back then, the Yunxiao Sect Protector Divine Beast was only an equivalent of a human half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord, but after the advancement, its combat power paralleled that of a human Yin Yang Perfected Lord Second Heaven.

Boom!

Deafening rumbles followed with every movement the Sect Protector Divine Beast took.

The already dim red screen above Xuanling Sect became even fainter and was completely broken after a few hits.

The energy of that defense barrier was already mostly exhausted from the start. Now that the advanced Yunxiao Sect Protector Beast arrived and attacked the defense barrier with the combat power of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord, it was reasonable that the barrier broke.

Previously, after Yunxiao Sect learned that Ye Qingtang appeared nearby Xuanling Sect, the sect elders immediately rushed over with the Sect Protector Divine Beast, which just advanced not long ago.

However, after arriving at Xuanling Sect, they realized that the Yunxiao Sect disciples guarding in the area were all dead, and Ye Qingtang was nowhere to be found.

Enraged, the Yunxiao Sect elders decided to destroy Xuanling Sect completely first and believed that Ye Qingtang would not be able to continue hiding.

However, just as the defense barrier was broken, a shadow suddenly appeared in the sky at lightning speed. In just a few breaths' time, it had already reached the Yunxiao Sect Protector Divine Beast and blocked it.

The Xuanling Sect members were surprised, especially Elder Mo, who thought that the figure was very familiar after close inspection.

"That is… Junior Sister Ye?!"

Yun Shu looked at the lady in the air who blocked the Yunxiao Sect Protector Beast, and his expression changed immediately.

Hearing Yun Shu, everyone took a closer look at the lady and was startled.

It was indeed as Yun Shu had said. Who else could that lady be if it was not Ye Qingtang?!

"Qingtang…"

Very quickly, Elder Mo stared at the lady in the sky and uttered in surprise. Wasn't that lady his disciple, Ye Qingtang…

The Xuanling Sect members were all dumbfounded for a moment. Why did Ye Qingtang suddenly appear here…

"Roar!"

The Yunxiao Sect Protector Divine Beast glared at the miniature ant-like human who stood in its way and roared in fury.

"Ye Qingtang!!"

The Yunxiao Sect elders on the back of the Sect Protector Divine Beast stared at Ye Qingtang, and a trace of elation emerged in their eyes.

It seems that the information was true. Ye Qingtang had indeed returned to Xuanling Sect.

Everyone was already aware that Ye Qingtang obtained a Fiendcelestial Beast in the Hell of Avicinaraka mystic realm, and her appearance meant that the infant Fiendcelestial Beast was also in the vicinity…

If their Yunxiao Sect could obtain that Fiendcelestial Beast and offer it to the Beiming Manor…

Wouldn't their Yunxiao Sect…

"Ye Qingtang… it's indeed you."

A Yunxiao Sect elder looked at Ye Qingtang and scoffed.

Ye Qingtang did not react to him and merely unsheathed a sword from her waist.

"Hahaha…"

Seeing that Ye Qingtang drew a sword out, the few Yunxiao Sect elders on the back of the Sect Protector Divine Beast immediately burst out in laughter.

Could it be that this Ye Qingtang still wanted to put up a last fight with them?

Swoosh!

Nonetheless, before the Yunxiao Sect elders finished laughing, the smiles were completely frozen on their faces as disbelief and horror filled their eyes.

As Ye Qingtang waved her sword, the frightening aura of a Yang Lord surged into the sky, and the sword aura completely enveloped the Yunxiao Sect Protector Divine Beast.

Sensing this unbelievable aura, even the Yunxiao Sect Protector Divine Beast trembled.

Boom Boom!!

A loud roar erupted in the next second. Before the shocked Xuanling Sect masses, the enormous body of the Sect Protector Divine Beast instantly erupted into mists of blood, and the several Yunxiao Sect elders died along with it at the scene.

After slaughtering the Yunxiao Sect Protector Divine Beast and Yunxiao Sect elders with one slash, Ye Qingtang immediately turned around and landed in Xuanling Sect.

"This…"

At this instant, Xuanling Sect was enshrouded in the supreme energy of a Yang Lord, and those disciples with weak pulses and even those who fainted from hunger were immediately energized.

"Junior… Junior Sister Ye?"

Qin Huan and the rest were stunned when they saw Ye Qingtang descending from the sky. Was this lady who was brimming with a Yang Lord energy really Ye Qingtang?!

It had been less than half a year since they were separated from Ye Qingtang, and she had already become one of the few powerful Yang Lords of this mainland in this period of time?

"Qingtang?"

Similarly, Elder Mo found this hard to swallow. No matter what, Elder Mo could not believe that Ye Qingtang had actually grown this much in less than half a year.

"Master, it's been long. I'm late."

Ye Qingtang looked at Elder Mo and bowed with cupped fists.

Back then in Xuanling Sect, she took Elder Mo as her master, and he treated her pretty well. Naturally, Ye Qingtang would not forget him.

A whole ten minutes later, Elder Mo finally returned to his senses and nodded rather absentmindedly.

"Are you really Ye Qingtang?" Elder Qin was clearly shaken as he looked at the lady before him.

A Yang Lord was someone whose martial cultivation base was at least at Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven—an absolutely unrivaled figure on this mainland.

Not mentioning a Yang Lord, it would also be unbelievable for Elder Qin even if Ye Qingtang showed up as Yin Lord.

"It's me." Ye Qingtang nodded in agreement.

"Sh*t…"

Qin Huan walked to Ye Qingtang's side and inspected Ye Qingtang closely. "How can this be… Junior Sister Ye, you… you're actually… Could it be that I'm hallucinating because I'm too hungry?"

Ye Qingtang was speechless. However, it was not strange for Qin Huan to say such things given his personality.

"Senior Brother Qin, it really is me," affirmed Ye Qingtang.

"But… Yang Lord… This is…"

Qin Huan and the rest found it hard to believe at the moment.

However, Ye Qingtang did not wish to discuss this matter too much as it was not something that could be explained clearly in a few sentences after all.

Seeing that Ye Qingtang was unwilling to talk about it, everyone understood what to do and no longer mentioned it.

Ye Qingtang immediately retrieved plenty of food and water from her space ring and told Qin Huan and the rest to distribute them.

1040 It“s You 3

There were not many Xuanling Sect disciples remaining currently. Although the water and food Ye Qingtang brought from the Ye Family was not considered a lot, it was still sufficient to solve the crisis.

Long before she headed to Xuanling Sect, she had already realized this issue; thus, she prepared some supplies in a separate space ring.

After all, the past Ye Qingtang was also a Xuanling Sect disciple, and she had some understanding of Xuanling Sect. It had been almost half a year since Xuanling Sect was trapped by Yunxiao Sect, and the stored supplies in the sect were probably already depleted.

Elder Mo had complicated feelings as he looked at Ye Qingtang. He would never have thought that his disciple actually became a supreme Yang Lord of this mainland in less than six months…

Even if he told others this, probably no one would believe that he was the Master of a Yang Lord…

Xuanling Sect Sect Master was extremely startled to see Ye Qingtang. Even a strong force like Yunxiao Sect was as weak as an ant before a Yang Lord.

Ye Qingtang sighed softly as she looked at the current dilapidated Xuanling Sect. Apart from food and water, she also took out numerous elixirs from her space ring to distribute out to everyone.

These elixirs could temper the body and be extremely beneficial even to an ordinary Yin Yang Perfected Lord. If cultivators at the Martial Qi stage consumed it, the effects would be multiplied.

After consuming the supplies that Ye Qingtang brought, their complexion was way better than before, and after consuming her elixirs, they were full of vigor in at most an hour.

"It's truly a magic pill… My body did not have any energy before, but now, even if a fierce tiger came… I feel that I can kill it with one punch…" Qin Huan commented excitedly.

"Master, Sect Master, let the disciples recuperate first; then, rebuild Xuanling Sect later on," Ye Qingtang said after a long time.

Xuanling Sect Master nodded. This was what he hoped for the most. Even in his dreams, he wished to rebuild Xuanling Sect.

"Qingtang… can you… prevent Yunxiao Sect from attacking Xuanling Sect during Xuanling Sect's reconstruction?" Xuanling Sect Master looked at Ye Qingtang and asked in an almost pleading tone.

Ye Qingtang was currently a Yang Lord, and as long as she was willing, Xuanling Sect could be rebuilt easily, and only Ye Qingtang was able to stop Yunxiao Sect.

"What are you saying, Sect Master? A Xuanling Sect disciple for a day is a Xuanling Sect disciple for life," Ye Qingtang said.

The Xuanling Sect Master was a little agitated after hearing Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang immediately took out some items which she obtained from the mystic realm and handed them all to the Sect Master.

Apart from the numerous weapons and elixirs, there were also talismans that could help with the reconstruction of Xuanling Sect.

"Master, Sect Master, don't worry about Yunxiao Sect. Now that I'm back, I will definitely destroy and obliterate all traces of Yunxiao Sect." Ye Qingtang looked at Elder Mo and Xuanling Sect Master and said.

"Alright…"

Elder Mo nodded. His disciple was now a Yang Lord, and annihilating Yunxiao Sect could be easily done.

"Qingtang, Xuanling Sect is fortunate to have you." Xuanling Sect Master looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

1041 Who is Afraid of Who 1

If not for Ye Qingtang, Xuanling Sect would probably already have been annihilated by Yunxiao Sect half a year ago.

Ye Qingtang did not reply.

Her eyes were devoid of warmth as she looked at the countless tombs in the surroundings. She would personally take revenge for these disciples who died tragically.

Ye Qingtang left after staying in Xuanling Sect for a day, and she was at the Imperial City the next time she appeared.

Yunxiao Sect was located within the Imperial City of Formidable Heavens Dynasty.

"Eldest Young Lady."

Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin greeted Ye Qingtang with reverence outside the Imperial City.

All the senior members of the Ye Family were dispatched in this operation. The seven Yin Yang Perfected Lords, including Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin, as well as the disciples were all present.

Ye Qingtang had made up her mind to destroy Yunxiao Sect completely this time no matter what it took.

"Alright." Ye Qingtang swept her eyes across the army of people. Excluding herself, this force of the Ye Family was sufficient to overpower Yunxiao Sect substantially.

Currently, Yunxiao Sect had not warred against the Ye Family but already had heavy losses: five elders were killed by Ye Qingtang, and even Yunxiao Sect's most important combat force, the Sect Protector Divine Beast, was also slain by Ye Qingtang.

"Eldest Young Lady, do you still need to make any preparations?" Daoist Zijin looked at Ye Qingtang and asked.

"No," said Ye Qingtang.

A mere Yunxiao Sect did not have any qualifications to make her prepare anything. Although Yunxiao Sect's foundation was strong, it posed no threat to a Yang Lord no matter how strong it was.

Moreover, Ye Qingtang would not give Yunxiao Sect any time or chance to activate their foundation.

At this instant, a group of guards at the Imperial City saw Ye Qingtang and the rest and originally wanted to stop them. However, after seeing Bai Kui, all of them were dumbfounded, and no longer had any intention to stop them.

Bai Kui was Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire and a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven figure…

Once the guards returned to their senses and wanted to greet the Grand Imperial Sire, they realized that the troop of people had already entered the Imperial City and were nowhere to be seen.

About fifteen minutes later, Elder Bai Kui led Ye Qingtang to the periphery of the Imperial City.

Right ahead was Yunxiao Sect.

Although a super sect like Yunxiao Sect had nothing to do with the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, it was situated within the Imperial City, and thus, Elder Bai Kui knew something about it.

"Although Yunxiao Sect's foundation is powerful, it is nothing to you, Eldest Young Lady. However, it's said that one of their Sect Protector Divine Beast seemed to have advanced recently, and its combat power is rather high," Elder Bai Kui said.

"I have already killed that Sect Protector Divine Beast," said Ye Qingtang.

Elder Bai Kui nodded and was not surprised at all.

No matter how powerful that Yunxiao Sect Protector Divine Beast was, it was as weak as a piece of paper before a Yang Lord and could be easily killed without much effort.

A cold glint flashed across Ye Qingtang's eyes as she looked at Yunxiao Sect ahead.

Swoosh!

Numerous Ye Family war flags flew in the air.

"Kill!"

Daoist Zijin shouted sternly.

Along with Daoist Zijin's orders, countless powerful auras surged to the sky and instantly enveloped Yunxiao Sect in them.

1042 Who is Afraid of Who 2

Sensing the aura of the Ye Family powerful figures, the senior members and wardens of Yunxiao Sect were alarmed.

"Who is so daring to behave unmannerly at my Yunxiao Sect!" A warden instantly flew out of Yunxiao Sect and yelled sternly.

This Yunxiao Sect warden's eyes were ice cold. He had been at Yunxiao Sect for a long time and never once thought that there would be anyone who dared to act wildly at the doorsteps of Yunxiao Sect!

The Yunxiao Sect warden was startled when he saw the Ye Family war flags. This war flag appeared very foreign, and he did not know which force these people were from.

"Who are you all? Report your names! How dare you all behave so wildly at the doorsteps of my Yunxiao Sect!" The Yunxiao Sect warden looked at Ye Qingtang and the rest and shouted sternly.

"Bai Kui." Elder Bai Kui stepped forward and said coldly.

Upon hearing that, the Yunxiao Sect warden frowned slightly. When he saw Bai Kui's face clearly, he was taken aback and extremely astounded.

As a Yunxiao Sect warden, it was impossible for him to not know the Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire, the most powerful cultivator of Formidable Heavens Dynasty with a horrifying combat power of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven.

"Formidable Heavens Dynasty Grand Imperial Sire…"

Very quickly, the Yunxiao Sect warden frowned as he looked at Elder Bai Kui. "Grand Imperial Sire Bai Kui, what is the meaning of this!"

Although Bai Kui was the Grand Imperial Sire of Formidable Heavens Dynasty, he never had any enmity with Yunxiao Sect. Not mentioning this Grand Imperial Sire, Yunxiao Sect and Formidable Heavens Dynasty had always minded their own businesses without interfering with the other. It thus seemed unacceptable that the Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire brought so many cultivators and behaved this way at the doorsteps of Yunxiao Sect.

As he spoke, ten-plus wardens and several elders rushed out of Yunxiao Sect.

"Bai Kui, our Yunxiao Sect and the Formidable Heavens Dynasty never had anything to do with each other. What is the meaning of your actions today?" An elderly with white hair shouted coldly at Bai Kui.

The person who spoke was Yunxiao Sect's Great Elder, Zhou Tian. He was at the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Second Heaven and was considered acquaintances with Bai Kui.

"Zhou Tian, I am not here today as the Grand Imperial Sire of Formidable Heavens Dynasty," Bai Kui snickered as he looked at that elderly.

After hearing that, the Yunxiao Sect Great Elder frowned deeply as he did not understand what Bai Kui meant.

Regardless of what identity Bai Kui was assuming to challenge the Yunxiao Sect, given Yunxiao Sect's foundation, they were not the least afraid even if the entire Formidable Heavens Dynasty royals attacked them, much less Bai Kui.

"Humph. The Grand Elders of Yuehua Sect and Lingyun Sect are here at Yunxiao Sect as visitors. If you know what's good for you, leave now. Yunxiao Sect can treat it as though nothing happened today." The Yunxiao Sect Great Elder looked at Bai Kui impatiently.

"Kill!"

Nonetheless, Bai Kui did not bother as he raised his right arm and shouted coldly.

As Elder Bai Kui gave his orders, the Yin Yang Perfected Lords of the Ye Family immediately charged towards the Yunxiao Sect wardens and elders.

Noticing the situation, the talented Ye Family disciples smirked. One of the youths at half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm snickered. "I've heard that Yunxiao Sect is arrogant and conceited, but I never thought that it would be to this extent. Brothers and sisters, let's show Yunxiao Sect what disparity is."

"Kill!"

In a moment, hundreds of talented disciples flexed their muscles, drew their weapons, and attacked Yunxiao Sect.

1043 Who is Afraid of Who 3

Noticing the situation, the Yunxiao Sect Great Elder was stunned and was even in disbelief.

Originally, he thought that Bai Kui would definitely not dare to really take action, yet currently…

…

"You have a death wish!"

The Yunxiao Sect wardens hollered furiously and slashed their swords at the Yin Yang Perfected Lords charging towards them.

A warden's eyes were filled with malice and evil as he attacked a Branch Master of the Ye Family.

That Branch Master joined the Ye Family not long ago, but he was extremely skilled. His energy and aura were overwhelming and even more powerful than ordinary Yin Yang Perfected Lords, which was why Ye Qingtang specially appointed him as a Branch Master.

Boom, boom!!

In the next second, the Yunxiao Sect warden's sword landed on the Branch Master's left shoulder.

However, at this instant, the Yunxiao Sect warden was appalled.

When his sword landed on this person, it was as though he was slashing extremely hard metal. The Ye Family Branch Master was unharmed, and the Yunxiao Sect warden's hand numbed instead.

"Do you… only have this little strength?" The Ye Family Branch Master looked at the Yunxiao Sect warden and immediately stretched his neck. "How disappointing."

"You…" The Yunxiao Sect warden was infuriated. However, after sensing the aura of this middle-aged man before him, he was instantly dumbfounded, and his eyes widened.

"Yin Yang… Perfected Lord?!"

This Yunxiao Sect warden never thought that this plain-looking middle-aged man would actually be a Yin Yang Perfected Lord!

"Die!"

The Ye Family Branch master shouted coldly and gently slashed the Yunxiao Sect warden's neck using his palm as a knife.

In an instant, the Yunxiao Sect warden's skull flew to the sky while his headless body staggered a few steps before falling to the ground. He was breathless in no time and died.

"Yin Yang Perfected Lord…"

"Also a Yin Yang Perfected Lord…"

"How can it be!"

The ordinary elders and wardens of Yunxiao Sect paled after sensing the aura of the powerful figures of the Ye Family.

There were several Yin Yang Perfected Lords among the cultivators that Bai Kui brought over…!

There were only a few Yin Yang Perfected Lords in Yunxiao Sect…

"Get lost!"

The Yunxiao Sect Great Elder yelled angrily and focused power in his fingertip to force a Yin Yang Perfected Lord to retreat.

The Yunxiao Sect Great Elder had already reached the peak of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Second Heaven, and it was simply impossible for an ordinary Yin Yang Perfected Lord to fight against him.

"Zhou Tian, let me play with you!"

Suddenly, Daoist Zijin leaped out and instantly turned into fast shadows that intersected and overlapped each other in the air so rapidly that one could not distinguish him with the naked eye.

"Daoist Zijin?!" The Yunxiao Sect Great Elder was astonished to see Daoist Zijin.

Daoist Zijin was renowned and had a reputation in this mainland.

However, why would he and the Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire Bai Kui come here to fight against Yunxiao Sect?!

"Humph!"

The Yunxiao Sect Great Elder sneered as his palm met Daoist Zijin's.

Boom!

A loud sound erupted as though the sky exploded.

The Yunxiao Sect Great Elder retreated backward as blood seeped out from the corners of his mouth, clearly in the disadvantage from the one-palm confrontation with Daoist Zijin earlier.

1044 Skill 1

The Great Elder stared at the number of people in Bai Kui's team and frowned heavily.

There were at least seven Yin Yang Perfected Lords including Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin. Furthermore, both of their abilities had passed the third Heaven of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord!

Though their force was extremely strong, there were guests from the Beiming Manor in the Yunxiao Sect today besides the Grand Elders from the Yuehua Sect and the Lingyun Sect. If Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin dared to attack them, they would definitely provoke the Beiming Manor.

Yunxiao Sect belonged to the Beiming Manor.

"Bai Kui, Daoist Zijin, the Yunxiao Sect has nothing to do with you! If you still want to challenge us, we will not hold back anymore!" The Great Elder of Yunxiao Sect stared at the few Yin Yang Perfected Lords and shouted coldly.

Daoist Zijin scoffed and said, "Zhou Tian, what's the point of holding back when it has come to this situation… Furthermore, how will Yunxiao Sect care for us anyway?"

"You…"

The Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect clenched his teeth tightly and wished that he could tear Daoist Zijin's skin.

Boom!

Suddenly, a few shadows rushed towards the crowds of wardens. Within a few breaths, a few wardens' heads were chopped off by branch masters of the Ye Family.

The Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect was very strong but was weaker than Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin. He was about to run when he realized that the situation was not good for him.

"Where do you want to go?!" Bai Kui scoffed and followed the Great Elder immediately.

However, a few Elders of the Yunxiao Sect immediately rushed forward to block Bai Kui's way.

"Get lost!"

Bai Kui shouted. Before anyone could realize what was going on, the few Elders who were at half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord level were thrown out by Bai Kui's aura.

The Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect fled into the Yunxiao Sect at the same time.

Bai Kui exchanged a glance with Daoist Zijin. There were many powerful people in the Yunxiao Sect. It was too risky for the two of them to break into Yunxiao Sect unless Ye Qingtang took the lead.

However, Ye Qingtang was the strongest force of the Ye Family. She could not just attack impulsively without the appearance of the main opponent.

When Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin were discussing what they should do next, around ten people walked out of the Yunxiao Sect under the Great Elder's lead.

The two Elders in white robe were the Grand Elders of the Yuehua Sect and the Lingyun Sect.

They came to the Yunxiao Sect as they heard that guests from the Beiming Manor were here. However, the Great Elder of the Yunxiao Sect said that there were people here to find trouble with them.

There was a middle-aged man in a purple robe standing there with prestige. A golden cloud was sewed on his chest area. The man was the Sect Master of the Yunxiao Sect.

"Bai Kui, Daoist Zijin, are there any misunderstandings between the Yunxiao Sect and you? Why would you come here to find trouble with us?" The Sect Master of the Yunxiao Sect looked at Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin and said indifferently.

There were seven Yin Yang Perfected Lords in the crowd.

"You offended someone that you should never even try to provoke. The punishment will be the extermination of the Yunxiao Sect." Daoist Zijin scoffed and said.

1045 Skill 2

The Sect Master shouted in rage, "Bai Kui, I respect you as the Grand Imperial Sire of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty. For all these years, Yunxiao Sect had nothing to do with the Formidable Heavens Dynasty. You come here for death today!"

"We come here for death?" Bai Kui stared at the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master and sneered. Who was the one that was going to die?!

"Humph!"

An elder landed from mid-air and scoffed heavily. "No one dared to offend us like this since the Yunxiao Sect was established a few hundred years ago. How dare you say that you want to exterminate my sect today!"

The Yunxiao Sect Sect Master nodded towards the elder, who was the Grand Elder of the Yunxiao Sect. He was at the peak of the Third Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

"Li Shihai…"

A cold glint flashed across Bai Kui's eyes as he saw the Grand Elder of the Yunxiao Sect.

When Bai Kui was the Crown Prince of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, Li Shihai was the Sect Master of the Yunxiao Sect. They had no interactions back then.

However, around ten years ago, a beloved lady of Bai Kui was taken away by Li Shihai using some tricks.

Though Bai Kui and the lady was not married, to him, he resented Li Shihai for taking away his wife.

After that, Bai Kui became the Emperor of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, and Li Shihai became the Sect Master of Yunxiao Sect.

After becoming the Emperor, Bai Kui took the responsibility of ruling the entire Formidable Heavens Dynasty. He could not just take his revenge from Li Shihai.

Until today…

"Humph, I was still thinking who's here. Bai Kui, based on your ability, what can you do to me? You could not do anything back then when you were the Crown Prince of Formidable Heavens Dynasty. Your beloved lady still came to me. I shall tell you here! Indeed, I used some tricks to get her. However, she killed herself not long after I got here. What can you do today even though you know all this?" The Grand Elder of the Yunxiao Sect landed slowly and scoffed as he stared at Bai Kui.

The two Grand Elders of Yuehua Sect and Lingyun Sect had odd expressions.

Though they were aware that the Grand Elder of the Yunxiao Sect was very arrogant, he should not reveal all the inhumane things he did in the past in front of everyone. It was fortunate that there were no disciples present. If not, his reputation…

Of course, Li Shihai never cared for his reputation. He only acted according to his own preferences.

"Li Shihai… You're seeking your own death!"

Bai Kui's face was flushed, and veins could be seen on his forehead.

Though Bai Kui was at the age that he could resist all temptations, as a martial cultivator, the hatred he had could last forever. The main culprit who took away his wife dared to reveal everything again!

Swoosh!

Bai Kui took out a purple black-grade divine weapon. As he waved his sword, the great aura of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord rushed into the sky as if he was going to tear Li Shihai into pieces.

The Grand Elder of Yunxiao Sect scorned. His body turned into a shadow, and he took out a simplistic sword from his space ring. At the next second, he was next to Bai Kui.

The two shadows were appearing everywhere as they fought against each other.

However, Bai Kui was disadvantaged within ten attacks.

Bai Kui was at the Third Heaven of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord. However, the Grand Elder of Yunxiao Sect was at the peak of Third Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

It was lucky for Bai Kui that he was able to last ten attacks against the Grand Elder. He would be dreaming if he could beat the Grand Elder of Yunxiao Sect with his own ability.

"Humph, it seems like you don't even see me with your eyes!"

Daoist Zijin scoffed when he saw that Bai Kui was not able to fight against the Grand Elder. He immediately came towards them and joined the fight together with Bai Kui.

"Li Shihai, you're such a rotten asshole! Wait for my ruling gourd!"

Daoist Zijin took out a gourd and threw it into the air.

The three of them were sucked in by the ruling gourd immediately.

The gourd suddenly grew in size and became transparent. Everything happening inside could be seen clearly from outside.

"Hahaha, the ruling gourd was plucked from the ancient ruling tree on Tiankun Mountain. It's able to block all martial ability. Rotten a**hole, don't dream to use any of your ability inside here!" Daoist Zijin scorned.

Everyone else was shocked as they heard his words. Such a terrifying dharma treasure…

The Grand Elder's expression changed as he could feel that all his martial ability in his body was disappearing.

"How come I feel that my martial ability is lost as well?" Suddenly, Bai Kui looked at Daoist Zijin, frowned, and asked.

"Of course, everyone's martial ability will be lost inside my ruling gourd," Daoist Zijin said.

Bai Kui nodded and asked, "How about you?"

"Same." Daoist Zijin explained.

Bai Kui's lips twitched. So what was the point for Daoist Zijin putting all of them inside the ruling gourd?

"Hehe… then the two of you are pieces of junk as well." The Grand Elder of Yunxiao Sect laughed coldly.

"The two of us are good enough to beat you!" Daoist Zijin scorned as well.

"Kill him!"

Daoist Zijin rushed towards the Grand Elder immediately.

In other people's eyes, the two powerful Yin Yang Perfected Lords now fought like gangsters without any martial ability.

"What are you waiting for?!" Daoist Zijin looked towards Bai Kui as he fought against the Grand Elder.

Bai Kui did not hesitate and joined the fight. The two of them kicked and punched the Grand Elder heavily.

Based on their third Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord's ability, they would not able to beat the Grand Elder even if they combined their forces. The difference between the normal Third Heaven and the peak was huge. However, inside the gourd that restricted all martial ability, the three of them were just normal people. The consequences were clear when the two of them fought against a useless Grand Elder…

Within a short while, the Grand Elder was injured heavily. His face was swollen under Daoist Zijin's and Bai Kui's punches.

The side with more people would, of course, have more advantages than the other side in the ruling gourd.

Ye Qingtang's lips twitched a little as she witnessed the situation inside the gourd. This… might be the most special fight she had seen between Yin Yang Perfected Lords.

It was almost impossible to find others who fought like Daoist Zijin and Bai Kui in the world.

They were no different from gangsters. There were no tricks. All their punches landed heavily on the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder cursed in rage inside the gourd as he wished to tear them into pieces. However, he could not defend himself at all. Occasionally, he managed to kick Daoist Zijin, but the kick seemed to have no effect.

Buzz!

Around half an hour later, a weird sound came out of the ruling gourd. The three of them were thrown out by the gourd as it returned to its original size.

"What happened?" Bai Kui asked.

"There is a time limitation to the ruling gourd. Apparently time's up… What a pity that we didn't manage to beat him to death," Daoist Zijin said.

Though the Grand Elder was a piece of junk inside the ruling gourd, it was easy for the two of them to fight against him, but it was hard to kill him.

The Grand Elder's injuries were all recovered without any traces after leaving the ruling gourd.

As his martial ability was regained, the injuries from the punches would definitely be gone.

"It seems you have a death wish!"

After regaining his martial ability, the Grand Elder stared at Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin. As he shouted, the aura of the peak level of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven exploded and surrounded the two of them.

The Grand Elder turned into a shadow in the next second. He was so fast that he landed beside Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin within a split second.

The three of them were engaged in the fight again.

However, within a few breaths, Daoist Zijin and Bai Kui were thrown out.

"Hehe, how much hatred do you have towards me, Bai Kui… I made you feel the greatest humiliation as a man. However, you cannot do anything to me… So heartbreaking!" The Grand Elder scorned as he stared at Bai Kui.

A cold glint flashed across Ye Qingtang's eyes at that.

She wished that Bai Kui could settle this thing by himself previously. However, based on the current situation, Bai Kui was not able to fight against the Grand Elder.

"Really?" Ye Qingtang scorned.

Ye Qingtang lifted her right arm slightly. Without realizing what was happening, the Grand Elder lost control of his body under a strong and irresistible force.

The Sect Master of Yunxiao Sect was enraged. He did not feel the intense force from Ye Qingtang. He thought that it was just a junior brought by Bai Kui.

"How dare you to speak up as a junior! You're seeking your own death!"

Before the Grand Elder was pulled to Ye Qingtang, the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master flew and smashed his palm towards her.

"How dare you!" A few branch masters immediately surrounded Ye Qingtang and fought off the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master.

The two Grand Elders of Yuehua Sect and Lingyun Sect frowned heavily as they witnessed the scene.

The two of them rushed forward and forced the branch masters to step back with their strong martial aura.

The Grand Elder of Yuehua Sect sneered. "Young people, do you know what respect is?"

"If you apologize to the Yunxiao Sect and leave now, maybe we can spare your lives," the Grand Elder of Lingyun Sect said.

"Grand Elders, you have nothing to do with what's going on here. Or do you want to be involved as well?"

Ye Qingtang stepped out to face the two Grand Elders.

The two Grand Elders were shocked by the young lady's words.

"This young lady seems familiar… Have I seen her somewhere else…" The Grand Elder of Yuehua Sect looked at Ye Qingtang in surprise.

"Is she… the disciple of Xuanling Sect? The one who was so lucky to get the infant Fiendcelestial Beast at the Hundred Level Peril Hell of Avicinaraka…"

The Grand Elder of Lingyun Sect sized up Ye Qingtang, and his eyes were filled with joy.

They had seen drawings of Ye Qingtang before. The young lady in front of them must be the Xuanling Sect disciple Ye Qingtang. And she had an infant Fiendcelestial Beast!

"Hahaha… I did not expect to be so lucky today to be at the Yunxiao Sect!" The Grand Elder of Lingyun Sect laughed. He must get the infant Fiendcelestial Beast today!

"Young one, hand over the infant Fiendcelestial Beast, and I'll spare your life!" The Grand Elder of Yuehua Sect stared at Ye Qingtang and tried to threaten her.

"Are you even qualified to get the Fiendcelestial Beast?" Ye Qingtang scanned through the two Grand Elders coldly.

The two Grand Elders were enraged upon hearing her words. They did not expect that the young one would be so rude and arrogant that she was not even afraid of her own death.

However, at the next second, their pupils constricted. The aura of a Yang Lord rushed into the sky. It seemed that an ancient Godfiend arrived and surrounded everything in darkness, forcing everyone to kneel down in fear.

The two Grand Elders felt that their bodies were about to be ripped apart by the terrifying aura of a Yang Lord.

They did not even question that they would be killed without any traces left as long as the person in front of them wished to…

"Yang… Yang Lord… How… How is this even possible…"

The Grand Elder of Lingyun Sect's face was pale as he stared at Ye Qingtang, who appeared to be a giant Godfiend. His body was soaked with cold sweat.

Yang Lord… Only when one reached the Seventh Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord could a person then be called a Yang Lord. However, the person in front of them was at the peak of Seventh Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord. She was just a little step away from entering the Eighth Heaven…

Only at this moment did the Grand Elder of Yuehua Sect understand that the person was not a disciple of Xuanling Sect. He found it weird how a disciple could survive in the Hundred Level Peril Hell of Avicinaraka and get a Fiendcelestial Beast. It was even more unbelievable that she was able to leave the Hell of Avicinaraka with the Fiendcelestial Beast. Everything could be explained if the person was a Yang Lord…

Moreover, how could a dignified Fiendcelestial Beast fancy an ordinary sect disciple! The lady before them was none other than a genuine, unrivaled Yang Lord!

"Damn it… Which dimwit released false information that the person who obtained the infant Fiendcelestial Beast was an ordinary Xuanling Sect disciple…" The Lingyun Sect Grand Elder gritted his teeth.

At this instant, the Yuehua Sect Sect Master shuddered as he looked at the Ye Family war flags, which were held high by the talented youths. It was at this moment when he finally understood what the "Ye" surname on the war flag represented.

The name of this Yang Lord was probably Ye Qingtang, and the Ye war flag probably represented the family clan of this Yang Lord…

"No wonder… No wonder Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Grand Imperial Sire Bai Kui and that veteran Yin Yang Perfected Lord proclaimed to be a member of the Ye Family…"

For a daunting family clan with a powerful figure at the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven, it was Bai Kui's and Daoist Zijin's honor to join the family clan!

"Se… Senior… I was unaware of your arrival. Please pardon me and not be hard on me!" The Yuehua Sect Grand Elder stared at Ye Qingtang in horror.

He was facing an authentic Yang Lord!

"I remember that you wanted me to hand over the Fiendcelestial Beast?" Ye Qingtang stared at the Yuehua Sect Grand Elder and said coldly.

Upon hearing that, the Yuehua Sect Grand Elder shuddered and instinctively shook his head without thinking. "No no no… Senior, I did not say that… It's… It's him! He said it!"

The Yuehua Sect Grand Elder immediately pointed at the Ling Yun Sect Grand Elder.

"Don't spout nonsense. When did I ask senior to hand over the Fiendcelestial Beast… I don't even know what a Fiendcelestial Beast is. What do I need it for? It must be you. You offended the senior and want to shift the blame to me now!" Lingyun Sect Grand Elder denied anxiously.

"Humph. It's clearly you who asked the senior for the Fiendcelestial Beast. Why don't you dare to admit it! Even saying that you don't know what a Fiendcelestial Beast is… I think you're the one who is spouting nonsense!" Yuehua Sect Grand Elder sneered.

The hundreds of talented Ye Family disciples behind Ye Qingtang snickered as they watched the two Grand Elders of super sects blame each other. This was the so-called powerful Grand Elder of a super sect. Before absolute strength, they were just like clowns. If their super sects' disciples were present and saw their own Grand Elder behaving this way, how would they think? Would they feel the slightest disgrace?

Previously, when Ye Qingtang appeared, the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master, Great Elder, and even Grand Elder were delighted. However, after knowing that Ye Qingtang was an unrivaled Yang Lord, they were completely dumbfounded.

"Didn't the two of you want to protect Yunxiao Sect?" A Ye Family Branch Master looked at the two Grand Elders and scoffed.

"Yunxiao Sect?!"

Lingyun Sect Grand Elder shook his head repeatedly. "Senior Ye, this is a misunderstanding. A great misunderstanding. We are actually not that close with Yunxiao Sect… We just happened to pass by here today and came in to take a seat… Senior, we have nothing to do with your enmity with Yunxiao Sect!"

"Right, right, right! Senior Ye, we have nothing to do with Yunxiao Sect. This Yunxiao Sect is really audacious. How dare they offend you, senior! They deserve to die! Definitely deserve to die! Senior, if you need us to do anything, just tell us!" Yuehua Sect Grand Elder added hurriedly.

Neither the Yuehua Sect Grand Elder nor Lingyun Sect Grand Elder dared to be impetuous when they learned that Ye Qingtang was a Yang Lord.

Never would they have thought that Yunxiao Sect actually offended a Yang Lord…

If it was Bai Kui or Daoist Zijin, the Grand Elders could still stand on Yunxiao Sect's side. However, it was impossible for them to go against a Yang Lord if they wanted to live a longer life.

The two super sects Grand Elders stood before Ye Qingtang in silence, deeply afraid that she would execute them when displeased.

Ye Qingtang swept a look at the two of them and subsequently said, "Get lost."

After hearing Ye Qingtang, the Lingyun Sect Grand Elder nodded his head repeatedly and disappeared without a trace.

"Farewell, senior… Farewell, se… If there's anything that you need my Yuehua Sect for in the future, you may just inform us…" The Yuehua Sect Grand Elder disappeared immediately after saying that.

Ye Qingtang did not have any enmity with Lingyun Sect and Yuehua Sect and did not wish to start another war; thus, letting these two Grand Elders leave was sufficient.

At this instant, the Yunxiao Sect masses were dumbfounded and even had goosebumps as they looked at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang's martial skills were too frightening. On this mainland, a Yang Lord was almost unparalleled, and even a super sect was nothing to a Yang Lord.

Yunxiao Sect Sect Master and Grand Elder stared at Ye Qingtang in astonishment. They would have never thought that Ye Qingtang was actually a Yang Lord…

"Come here!"

Then, Ye Qingtang raised her right arm, and a powerful force swept over. In at most two breaths' time, Ye Qingtang had already clutched onto the Yunxiao Sect Grand Elder's throat.

"You seemed to be very arrogant earlier on," Ye Qingtang said coldly as she glared at the Yunxiao Sect Grand Elder.

The Yunxiao Sect Grand Elder shuddered, and his face paled after hearing Ye Qingtang's words. He did not know what he should say, and everything that happened seemed to be an unbelievable dream.

One hour ago, they were still chatting with the Beiming Manor envoy within the sect, but a short while later, a Yang Lord came searching for them…

"Ye Qingtang… even if you are a Yang Lord… our Yunxiao Sect is affiliated to Beiming Manor. However powerful you are, do you dare to ignore the Beiming Manor?!" Yunxiao Sect Grand Elder looked at Ye Qingtang and shouted.

"Beiming Manor…"

The Ye Family members were in thought upon hearing that.

Beiming Manor was one of the extraordinary forces of this mainland and was on par with the Phantom Valley and Peerless School. They were known as the three mightiest sect forces.

It was said that the Beiming Manor Chief was a Yang Lord of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven, and his martial skills were unrivaled.

Ye Qingtang did not have any thoughts about Beiming Manor as she did not have any grudges against them. It would be best if they did not interfere with this matter, but if they insisted, Ye Qingtang would definitely not do nothing.

Seeing that Ye Qingtang was silent, Yunxiao Sect Sect Master thought that Ye Qingtang was afraid of Beiming Manor, and he sneered. "So what if you are a Yang Lord? There are countless powerful figures in Beiming Manor, and the Manor Chief is an Eighth Heaven Yang Lord. If you dare to touch my Yunxiao Sect today, it is equivalent to opposing Beiming Manor!"

Ye Qingtang looked at the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master rather impatiently. Without saying much, Yang Lord aura surged out, and the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master's body exploded into innumerable pieces of flesh before everyone's eyes.

The Yunxiao Sect Sect Master's skills were not as powerful as that of the Yunxiao Sect Grand Elder; thus, he was unable to withstand Ye Qingtang's aura suppression.

Witnessing the tragic death of the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master, the Yunxiao Sect masses paled and gasped.

Without giving them time to return to their senses, Ye Qingtang moved her wrist and twisted the Yunxiao Sect Grand Elder's neck.

In no time, Yunxiao Sect Sect Master and Grand Elder were both killed by Ye Qingtang.

"Run!"

The Yunxiao Sect Great Elder shouted at the top of his lungs when he noticed that the situation was bad and immediately fled towards the interior of Yunxiao Sect.

Yunxiao Sect's foundation was extremely powerful, and as long as they could flee back into Yunxiao Sect, it was difficult to annihilate Yunxiao Sect even if Ye Qingtang was a Yang Lord.

If Yunxiao Sect Sect Master and Grand Elder knew that Ye Qingtang was a Yang Lord, they would definitely not step out of Yunxiao Sect…

"Where are you all running to?"

Ye Qingtang shouted coldly, and her Yang Lord aura swept across the entire place, killing the Yunxiao Sect Great Elder instantly.

As the Yunxiao Sect Great Elder was also killed by Ye Qingtang, Yunxiao Sect became completely disunited, and the remaining elders and wardens remained rooted to the ground, shivering, without daring to move an inch.

As long as Ye Qingtang was willing, all of them would be killed by her before they could even make it back into Yunxiao Sect.

If Yunxiao Sect Grand Elder and Sect Master countered this battle within the sect, they definitely would not have died so quickly given Yunxiao Sect's foundation.

Seeing that Yunxiao Sect Grand Elder died from the impact of Ye Qingtang's Yang Lord aura, Elder Bai Kui finally felt that he had finally avenged his wife.

It was just a pity that he was not the one who personally killed the Yunxiao Sect Grand Elder…

"From now on, Yunxiao Sect no longer exists and will be annexed by the Ye Family. Anyone who resists will be killed. If sect disciples wish to leave, don't stop them!" Daoist Zijin announced loudly a moment later.

Whether it was a war between sects or family clans, the defeated party must pay a terrible price, and even a foundation that had been passed down for thousands of years would belong to the victor.

Currently, Yunxiao Sect Grand Elder, Sect Master, and Great Elder were all dead, and Yunxiao Sect had no leader. It was impossible for them to battle with the Ye Family, which had a Yang Lord. From then on, Yunxiao Sect would belong to the Ye Family.

"Yes!" The several Branch Masters and talented disciples immediately responded.

At this instant, the Grand Elders of Yuehua Sect and Lingyun Sect had not left and were hiding above the clouds to observe the situation.

However, when they saw the Yunxiao Sect Grand Elder and Sect Master being slain by that Yang Lord in an instant, their backs were drenched with cold sweat.

It was fortunate that they made the right judgment, or else their outcome would be no different from Yunxiao Sect…

"The envoy from Beiming Manor is still within Yunxiao Sect… Yunxiao Sect is an affiliate of Beiming Manor. I'm afraid… the Beiming Manor will not leave this matter alone…" The Yuehua Sect Grand Elder looked at the Lingyun Sect Grand Elder beside him.

"The Ye Family only has one Yang Lord. How can it contend against Beiming Manor, which is one of the three mighty forces of this mainland? There will be a good show to watch now!"

The Lingyun Grand Elder nodded.

Yunxiao Sect's annihilation was a given, but no one had expected it to be annihilated so quickly. A dignified super sect with centuries of foundation, however, became part of the Ye Family in such a short period of time.

At this instant, the Ye Family disciples and several Branch Masters were covered with murderous auras. This was their first battle since becoming part of the Ye Family.

This war was truly too shocking. Yunxiao Sect was wipe out so swiftly that they did not even make any moves…

It was also because of such that the Ye Family members finally witnessed the unparalleled powers of a Yang Lord. Even if Yunxiao Sect was a super sect and had powerful foundations, it still ended up in such an ending.

"Anyone who wishes to resist the Ye Family, come out!"

At this instant, a Ye Family disciple swept across the remaining elders and wardens in Yunxiao Sect and shouted coldly.

However, no one dared to say anything.

"Humph! So what about your Ye Family! You all will still face death after offending Beiming Manor!" A Yunxiao Sect disciple who appeared from nowhere said coldly.

"You have a death wish!"

Upon hearing that, a glint flashed across the eyes of that Ye Family youth at the half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm. With a "clank", that Yunxiao Sect disciple's head was already chopped off by the Ye Family disciple before the Yunxiao Sect disciple knew what happened.

Clank!

He unsheathed and sheathed his sword in one breath, and that was all it took to kill someone.

"Any resistors… kill!"

The Ye Family youth shouted loudly, and he was brimming with killing intent.

"Little young one, how arrogant of you!"

All of a sudden, a bone-curdling cold filled the air, and the temperature of the surroundings dropped to the freezing point in an instant.

A middle-aged man in a gold Chinese robe walked out of Yunxiao Sect slowly with a young male and female beside him.

That man's martial skills were frightening and had already reached the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Fourth Heaven.

"Beiming Manor envoy…"

In the sky, the Yuehua Sect Grand Elder's and Lingyun Sect Grand Elder's eyes twinkled when they saw the appearance of that middle-aged man.

It seemed that Yunxiao Sect's annihilation enraged Beiming Manor utterly…

Beneath, the Ye Family talented disciple shivered at that cold shout, and his body retreated backward.

The Ye Family talented youth was merely a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord and naturally could not contest against the Beiming Manor envoy, who was at the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Fourth Heaven.

"You're pretty arrogant yourself too!"

Ye Qingtang hollered immediately and easily dissipated the powerful martial aura of that Beiming Manor envoy.

It was only until then did the Ye Family youth's complexion improve, and he looked at Ye Qingtang with gratitude.

"A Yang Lord is here. Hurry bow and pay your respects to the Yang Lord!"

A Ye Family Branch Master looked at the Beiming Manor envoy without fear and sneered.

The Beiming Manor envoy frowned slightly upon hearing that. She's actually a Yang Lord…

"How dare you!" The Beiming Manor envoy yelled in fury. "I am Beiming Manor's Great Warden. How dare you make me bow and pay my respects?!"

The Beiming Manor Great Warden was the head of all wardens. Although his position was lower than that of Elders and the Chief, he was also considered to have a high position and authority, and he represented Beiming Manor with full authority when he was out. How dare this force make him bow and pay respects?!

1053 Beiming Manor 4

This so-called Ye Family was a disorderly mob. Could it be that it had never heard of the three mighty forces of this mainland!

Everyone still had a certain level of fear towards the Beiming Manor; thus, the Ye Family Branch Master remained silent.

After all, Ye Family only had one Yang Lord while Beiming Manor had more than one!

Seeing that the Ye Family Branch Master no longer spoke, the Beiming Manor envoy nodded in satisfaction. Nonetheless, he was still curious as to why a Yang Lord, who even seemed so young, appeared out of nowhere when there was only a handful of Yang Lords on this mainland…

"You are the Yang Lord of the Ye Family!" The Beiming Manor envoy looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

"Yes, so what if I am?" Ye Qingtang replied indifferently.

She did not have any enmity with Beiming Manor and did not wish to complicate matters by having any relations with Beiming Manor. However, if Beiming Manor failed to appreciate her favor and insisted on poking their nose into this matter, it was fine with Ye Qingtang as well.

Ye Qingtang had never liked causing trouble, but this did not mean that she was afraid of trouble!

"Good. Not bad. It is indeed unbelievable that you can become a Yang Lord at such a young age… My Beiming Manor admires you greatly. If you're willing, you can join my Beiming Manor, and you can freely choose any position that you want!" The Beiming Manor envoy looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

In other territories, the Beiming Manor envoy represented the entire Beiming Manor, and everything he said was equivalent to what the Beiming Manor Chief said. Thus, since he said that, it was definitely effective.

The three mighty forces of this mainland would all wish to snatch this Yang Lord. Regardless of the Phantom Valley, Peerless School, or Beiming Manor, their control and power would become even more powerful if they had an additional Yang Lord!

"Oh?" Ye Qingtang looked at the Beiming Manor envoy and said with a seeming smile. "Do you mean what you say?"

"Of course, I do." Arrogance filled the Beiming Manor envoy's face. "I am a Beiming Manor envoy, and everything I say represents the Beiming Manor. As long as you are willing to join and dedicate yourself to my Beiming Manor, you can pick any position you want in Beiming Manor!"

"Alright." Ye Qingtang said. "If that's the case, I want the Beiming Manor Chief position. Do you think it's possible?"

Everyone at the scene was stunned by Ye Qingtang. Ye Qingtang actually wanted to become the Beiming Manor Chief…

"What are you saying?!" The Beiming Manor envoy's eyes were ice cold. This girl was so young yet so arrogant and conceited to want the Beiming Manor Chief position?!

Although Ye Qingtang was not familiar with the three mighty forces of this mainland, she was very clear with their routine.

Phantom Valley, Beiming Manor, and Peerless School were currently in a state of check and balance, and no one wished to break this balance.

However, if Ye Qingtang chose to join one side, this balance would definitely be broken.

Even if Ye Qingtang joined Beiming Manor, it would definitely not believe an outsider, especially when this outsider, was a Yang Lord. Once this Yang Lord had any ideas, it was very possible that it would result in a serious imbalance.

Moreover, Phantom Valley and Peerless School would face a relatively serious threat with Ye Qingtang's addition to Beiming Manor. By then, Peerless School and Phantom Valley would definitely join forces to annihilate Beiming Manor!

1054 Kill One of My People and I Will Slay Your Entire Family

As one of the top three forces of this mainland, Beiming Manor definitely understood this logic.

Although Ye Qingtang had become a Yang Lord currently, she knew her limitations—something she was never lacking in no matter whether she was a Holy Venerate in the past life or currently.

The three mighty forces of this mainland were not short of Yang Lords and instead had very powerful Yang Lords. Given her current skills, it was extremely difficult if she wished to fight any of these three forces head-on.

Nonetheless, since Ye Qingtang became a Yang Lord, these top three forces would definitely do something.

Once Ye Qingtang joined one force, the other two forces would join hands and annihilate the force that Ye Qingtang joined. This was so in addition to the fact that the force that Ye Qingtang joined would be on their guard against her and secretly kill her in order to maintain the balance.

However, if Ye Qingtang did not join any of the forces, the forces would be suspicious and paranoid that Ye Qingtang had already secretly made arrangements with the other two forces.

As the skills of the top three forces were overly balanced, they definitely did not wish to see another Yang Lord even if she did not join any forces and developed her own influence.

Since that was the case, there was only one solution: Ye Qingtang would become enemies with one top force while the other two forces watched from aside and reaped the spoils.

Especially for Beiming Manor, a Yang Lord's appearance in Formidable Heavens Dynasty would attract the suspicions of Peerless School and Phantom Valley. It was either that Ye Qingtang joins Beiming Manor and the Manor Chief decides whether to utilize or secretly kill her or that Beiming Manor directly kills Ye Qingtang to let Peerless School and Phantom Valley know that they did not have any intention to break the balance of the three great forces. There were no other options apart from these!

"Humph. Beiming Manor's will is not something you can revolt against!" The Beiming Manor envoy glared at Ye Qingtang coldly.

Upon hearing that, Ye Qingtang's lips curled up into a sneer. "If I have never even acknowledged the Beiming Manor Chief, what are you?"

Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin cast a cold eye at that Beiming Manor envoy. If he was not representing Beiming Manor to talk to Ye Qingtang, he would already be a dead man by now.

"Great… Indeed a Yang Lord. How arrogant!" The Beiming Manor envoy raised his volume and said coldly. "My Beiming Manor has a thousand-year foundation on this mainland, and you are the first who dares to defy Beiming Manor's will. Since that's the case, Beiming Manor will officially start a war with your Ye Family… Although you are a Yang Lord, not all of your family clan has skills like yours…"

The Beiming Manor envoy scoffed. His meaning was clear. If Ye Qingtang fled, perhaps they could not do anything, but the Ye Family had many people, and Beiming Manor could kill however many they wished!

Nevertheless, Ye Qingtang replied coldly. "You're right… But… out of your tens of thousands of Beiming Manor people… is everyone a Yang Lord?"

With that, the Beiming Manor envoy's smile was suddenly frozen.

Ye Qingtang's meaning was extremely clear as well. If the Beiming Manor dared to touch the Ye Family members, she would kill a group of Beiming Manor people.

"Beiming Manor has been in existence for a thousand years, and it should have a minimum of tens of thousands of people. For every hundred Ye Family members that Beiming Manor kills, I will slay ten thousand Beiming Manor people. I want to see if your Beiming Manor dares to touch anyone from my Ye Family. From today onward, as long as a Ye Family disciple dies, I will place the responsibility on your Beiming Manor. If one Ye Family disciple dies, I will kill thousands of your Beiming Manor people." Ye Qingtang shouted.

1055 Three Orders To Kill

When they heard Ye Qingtang's words, the looks of fear on the faces of Ye Family members instantly vanished, never to be seen again. Only excitement and agitation remained.

Just as Ye Qingtang said, if the Ye Family was massacred, then Ye Qingtang would fight the Beiming Manor to the death. How terrifying would it be to have a powerful Yang Lord lying in ambush? Also, could the few powerful Yang Lords of Beiming Manor really guard tens of thousands of people every day without leaving their side?

By then, the Beiming Manor would be unable to find Ye Qingtang, who would be lying in wait. But Ye Qingtang would be clearly aware of the Beiming Manor's position!

Even if the Yang Lords found Ye Qingtang, they might not be able to kill her with one stroke, causing Ye Qingtang's vengeance to be even crueler and terrifying… Then, the tens of thousands of people in Beiming Manor would live in fear, and those who had not yet become Yang Lords would live in the shadow of death…

The Ye Family had a few hundred people, but the Beiming Manor had tens of thousands of people. However, the Beiming Manor Master and Yang Lords were not idiots. They did not dare touch a single hair on a Ye Family disciple's head without first killing Ye Qingtang!

"You…"

At that moment, the Beiming Manor envoy gritted his teeth. If Ye Qingtang kept her word, tens of thousands of people from the Beiming Manor would die because they killed a hundred people from the Ye Family!

"Right now, there are over a hundred Ye Family disciples. I guarantee I will not act. Let me see if you dare to touch a single person." Ye Qingtang fixed her gaze on the Beiming Manor envoy and spoke with a cold laugh.

"You dare to touch me."

At that moment, Elder Bai Kui's grandson, Ye Leng, who had changed his surname to Ye, stepped forward and pointed to the Beiming Manor envoy.

Would their Ye Family be afraid of the Beiming Manor?!

It was worthwhile to exchange one person's life for a few thousand lives!

"Ye Family… you will pay an unimaginably terrible price… for your arrogance!" Veins stood up on the Beiming Manor envoy's forehead. He did not dare to touch so much as a hair on a Ye Family disciple's head. If this Yang Lord really went crazy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The top three sects were very familiar with the Yang Lords in this mainland. But what kind of personality did Ye Qingtang have, and would she actually do as she said? Who could be certain?

When she saw that the Beiming Manor envoy was about to leave, Ye Qingtang stepped forward and blocked his way. The powerful force of a Yang Lord immediately shot skywards.

"What are you doing!" The Beiming Manor envoy was shocked when he saw what was happening.

"You've offended me… shouldn't you leave something behind." Ye Qingtang stared at the Beiming Manor envoy and said coldly.

"When two major forces are in a battle… we are equivalent to envoys of war. How dare you ignore the rules and kill a war envoy?!" The Beiming Manor envoy said in shock.

"Of course I won't." Ye Qingtang's lips curved upwards slightly. Then, she used the force of a Yang Lord to press down on the Beiming Manor envoy.

"Puff…"

The Beiming Manor envoy's face was ashen. Blood shot out of his mouth as he repeatedly retreated.

"You… you dare… harm my martial arts foundation…" The Beiming Manor envoy stared at Ye Qingtang in shock. This Yang Lord was completely disregarding the rules…

"I'm giving you a small punishment today. If you dare to be disrespectful to my Ye Family in the future, your life will not be spared." Ye Qingtang shouted coldly.

"In the future, anyone who harms my Ye Family disciples will be killed!

"In the future, anyone who impedes my Ye Family affairs will be killed!

"In the future, anyone who harms my Ye Family elders will be killed!"

Ye Qingtang voice was bone-chilling. From that day onward, these three killing orders would reverberate through this mainland.

1056 Three Orders To Kill 2

The moment Ye Qingtang issued her three killing orders, everyone in the Ye Family became very emotional and felt uplifted.

If anyone dared to offend a Ye Family member, be it a disciple or an elder, the Ye Family Yang Lord would strike them dead with the swiftness of lightning!

In all of history, this must be the family clan Yang Lord that shielded her subordinates the most…

The Beiming envoy glared at Ye Qingtang in rage but did not dare to say anything more. This Ye Family Yang Lord did not abide by the rules at all and had even seriously injured him even though he was a war envoy. If he said anything more, he might lose his life.

"Ye Qingtang… wait and see. Circumstances will change. We will meet again!"

The Beiming Manor envoy glared at Ye Qingtang, a cold light flickering in his eye. He fervently wished he could dismember Ye Qingtang to relieve the hatred in his heart.

To the Beiming Manor envoy, this Ye Family was a new power, and although it had a Yang Lord that was almost invincible in this mainland, she was still too young. These people probably did not know how terrifying the Beiming Manor was.

"Get lost!" Elder Bai Kui looked at the Beiming Manor envoy and shouted at him coldly.

If the Beiming Manor had not been present as an envoy, he would have died many times over today. How dare a mere Yin Lord be so arrogant and unrestrained in the presence of a Yang Lord!

Without further ado, the Beiming Manor envoy turned to leave and vanished in a moment.

Both the Grand Elders of the Lingyun Sect and the Yuehua Sect, who were watching from above, could not help but exchange glances when they saw this scene.

The Ye Family Yang Lord was truly impossibly arrogant. She did not even show any respect for the Beiming Manor…

Fortunately, they were both wise men who knew how to bide their time. Otherwise, their fates would probably have been the same as the Grand Elder of the Yunxiao Sect, with their heads sent rolling…

The two super sect elders did not dare to linger in the area, and they swiftly vanished into the void.

At that moment, in the Ye Family.

Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin led the group from the Ye Family and charged into the Yunxiao Sect. The thousands of disciples in the Yunxiao Sect were all struck dumb. No one dared to resist at all.

Everything was like a dream.

Before today, the Yunxiao Sect was carrying on with its usual routine. However, within the short span of an hour, the Grand Elder and the Master of the Yunxiao Sect had both been killed. Even the Yunxiao Sect's great elder had died. None of the senior members of the sect dared to resist. They all wished to preserve their lives.

As the saying went, even lowly insects cling to life, much less the Yunxiao Sect's wardens and elders.

A powerful Yang Lord was invincible. Forcibly resisting was the same as giving up one's life.

However, as long as they did not resist, the Ye Family would not act. They would give the Yunxiao Sect, which now completely lacked cohesion, a chance to survive.

Ye Qingtang immediately ordered all the wardens and elders of the Yunxiao Sect to be expelled from the sect. This included the administrative personnel and all the Yunxiao Sect disciples. Not a single person was to remain.

Within the short span of half a day, the glory of the Yunxiao Sect was completely dissipated and became a thing of the past. Everyone from the Ye Family entered the Yunxiao Sect, which became the headquarters of the Ye Family.

The Yunxiao Sect contained countless jewels and fine gems. There were some that even Ye Qingtang felt were fairly unusual.

It went without saying that the Yunxiao Sect had a great legacy. After all, it had existed for hundreds of years and was far beyond what the Xuanling Sect could compare to.

1057 Three Orders To Kill 3

If the previous Grand Elder and Master of the Yunxiao Sect had remained in the sect and resisted to the end, with their rich legacy, even Ye Qingtang would take some time to completely eradicate the Yunxiao Sect. She certainly would not have been able to uproot it so easily.

…

"Eldest Young Lady, I must say that the Yunxiao Sect legacy is pretty good. Hahaha… they've put so much effort into managing it for hundreds of years, only for it to fall to our Ye Family!" Elder Bai Kui laughed loudly.

Ye Qingtang did not have much to say about that. A fight between two major forces was always like that. Once a battle began, the loser would always become fodder for the victor.

Ye Qingtang quickly followed the Ye Family Branch Masters and arrived in the area where the Yunxiao Sect reared its spirit animals.

Dozens of spirit animals were separately reared in their individual areas. Their environment was almost like a paradise, extremely beautiful. Besides the rarer flying spirit animals, there were also fighting spirit animals and mounts. The Yunxiao Sect even reared many young demonic beasts.

A super sect almost always gained its status from the efforts of its forebears. The rich legacy the sect had built up for hundreds of years was hard to imagine. Today, an ordinary sect would be hard-pressed to even provide fodder for these spirit animals and demonic beasts. However, to a super sect, it was nothing out of the ordinary and was not a burden.

Ye Qingtang and the others very quickly came to the Martial Skills Area. The Yunxiao Sect's Martial Skills Area was not bad, but it was inferior to the one that Ye Qingtang had previously established in the Ye House.

Not long after, Elder Bai Kui, Daoist Zijin, Ye Qingtang, and the others came upon the Treasure Pavilion.

"Greetings, Yang Lord!"

A white-haired old man looked at Ye Qingtang, his face filled with respect. He kneeled and greeted them.

This man was the guardian of the Yunxiao Sect's Treasure Pavilion and was very familiar with the treasures there. He sincerely begged Elder Bai Kui and the others to allow him to remain, and he expressed his hope of serving the Ye Family.

Elder Bai Kui allowed the old man to remain after receiving Ye Qingtang's approval.

The old man was not part of the Yunxiao Sect's fighting force. His martial skills were ordinary, and he was only a part of the support personnel. The Ye Family had retained many support personnel like him instead of expelling them from the sect.

"No need to be so formal," said Ye Qingtang to the old man.

The old man quickly stood up, looked at Ye Qingtang, and smiled. "Yang Lord, please come this way."

Ye Qingtang followed the old man into the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion in the Yunxiao Sect was divided into several large areas: the Spirit Weapons Area, the Dharma Treasures Area, the Talisman Area, the Traps Area, the Elixirs Area, and so on.

At that moment, Ye Qingtang and the others entered the Spirit Weapons Area. In the center of it were rows of spirit weapons, and every one of them was of fairly high level.

"Yang Lord, this Cold Earth Sword is a medial black-grade spirit weapon. It belonged to the ancient Zhou Kingdom's third emperor three hundred years ago."

The old man explained to Ye Qingtang and the others.

Ye Qingtang nodded when she heard that.

The old man knew every Dharma treasure like the back of his hand.

They learned from the old man that the Yunxiao Sect's Treasure Pavilion was not open to ordinary disciples of the sect but only to those of warden level or above, who had made a major contribution to the sect.

"In the future, the Treasure Pavilion will be open to everyone in the Ye Family," Ye Qingtang said to Elder Bai Kui and the others.

When they heard that, Bai Kui and the Daoist Zijin nodded repeatedly.

"The senior members of the Ye Family may pick any treasure from the Treasure Pavilion, with no conditions attached. If they are unsure of what to select, they can follow Old Zhou's recommendations." Ye Qingtang looked at the old man.

"Yang Lord, please don't worry. I am very good with these matters," the old man said repeatedly.

When they heard Ye Qingtang's words, the Ye Family Branch Masters and two Elders looked rather emotional. The Yunxiao Sect treasures were extremely attractive to them!

After they left the Treasure Pavilion, Ye Qingtang's gaze swept across the air. Her lips immediately curved upwards and arched in a mysterious smile. Here was a fish that had escaped the net.

"Eldest Young Lady?"

Daoist Zijin was rather perplexed when he saw Ye Qingtang's odd expression.

"Come out!"

Ye Qingtang shouted coldly as her right arm reached into the void and grasped at something.

As everyone stared, an old man in a black robe was dragged out of the void.

"Who are you!" Elder Bai Kui immediately shouted sternly.

They had been completely unaware of this old man who was hiding in the void!

"Elder Qu, how are you?" Ye Qingtang smiled coldly as she fixed her gaze on the old man, who was frowning deeply.

Elder Qu was a Blood Moon Sect Elder, but after the sect was exterminated, he moved to the Yunxiao Sect and taught the Yunxiao Sect disciples the evil skill of robbing others of their spirit roots. When Ye Qingtang had been in the Yunxiao Sect, she had followed her teacher, Elder Mo, and the others to the Drifting Cloud Island and coincidentally met Elder Qu and Ye You. She had learned of Elder Qu's status from the Blood Moon Sect Elder.

"Yang… Lord…"

Elder Qu stared at Ye Qingtang. This girl was so young but was already a Yang Lord…

A thousand years ago, Elder Qu had also been a Yang Lord. But unfortunately, a thousand years later, his level of attainment had dropped too rapidly, and now, he was only an ordinary Yin Lord.

"I am willing to serve you faithfully," Elder Qu said to Ye Qingtang.

Elder Qu firmly believed that given his value, this Yang Lord would certainly give him an important position.

However, Ye Qingtang just laughed coldly. "I don't need your faithful service. But you may leave your life here."

Elder Qu laughed when he heard Ye Qingtang's words. "Yang Lord, I know the Robbing Spirit Roots Skill. With me around, I can guarantee that the Yang Lord's family will be elevated to the next level!"

When they heard that, all Ye Family members present were taken aback and even somewhat skeptical.

"Robbing Spirit Roots Skill… legend has it that one can indeed rob cultivators of their spirit roots and use them for oneself…" Daoist Zijin was shocked. This secret skill had long been lost in this mainland.

"Hmph!" Elder Bai Kui shouted angrily. "Who would have thought that the Yunxiao Sect would be so despicable as to do such evil things? The Robbing Spirit Roots Skill is equivalent to robbing others of their martial skills. It is a great crime!"

Elder Bai Kui's fiancée had been snatched away by the Grand Elder of the Yunxiao Sect, so he had a deep hatred of stealing, even if it was in terms of martial skills.

The skill of robbing spirit roots was somewhat similar to Ye Qingtang's Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline. However, when compared to the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline, the Robbing Spirit Roots Skill was inferior.

The Robbing Spirit Roots Skill could be used to devour the spirit root of others. However, the Heavenly Demon Devouring Skill could devour anything in the world, from the spirit energy of a stone, to the martial skills and bloodline of a person.

"Robbing Spirit Root Skill…"

Daoist Zijin thought for a moment and then suddenly frowned.

1059 Traitor 2

A thousand years ago, only the Blood Moon Sect had this Robbing Spirit Root Skill…

In that case, the black-robed old man before them… was connected to the Blood Moon Sect?!

Daoist Zijin did not care about even the three greatest powers. But the Blood Moon Sect…

A thousand years ago, it was the foremost unshakable power in this mainland. Later, the Blood Moon Sect had grown overly powerful, single-handedly beating all others. This had aroused the hatred of hundreds of sects and powerful families in this mainland. In the end, powerful sects and families had joined forces and had barely managed to exterminate the Blood Moon Sect. But they paid a terrible price…

The Blood Moon Sect… at its peak, it had over a hundred Yang Lords…

Even after the Blood Moon Sect was exterminated, a thousand years later, its senior members were slowly recovering, and the Blood Moon Sect would rise again…

If they killed a member of the Blood Moon Sect today, the consequences would not be as simple as antagonizing the Beiming Manor!

"Yang Lord, I can use my Robbing Spirit Root Skill to serve you." Elder Qu fixed his gaze on Ye Qingtang.

"That sounds pretty good… a pity that I'm not very interested in your Robbing Spirit Root Skill… However, I am interested in taking your life." Ye Qingtang smiled coldly as she looked at Elder Qu.

No matter what, she was the sworn sister of the Blood Moon Holy Lord. She even had the status of Blood Moon Holy Lady. As the Holy Lady of the Blood Moon Sect, Ye Qingtang must certainly act now that she had met a great traitor of the Blood Moon Sect. Otherwise, she could not answer to her handsome younger brother…

Elder Qu was taken aback by Ye Qingtang's words. He had no quarrel with this Yang Lord, so why was she so interested in taking his life?!

"Eldest Young Lady, slow down. Let this man live for now!" Daoist Zijin was afraid that Ye Qingtang would act immediately and spoke hurriedly.

"He mustn't be killed?" Elder Bai Kui looked at Daoist Zijin. "He is a mere Yunxiao Sect elder, why can't he be killed? Daoist Zijin, can it be that you are interested in the Robbing Spirit Root Skill… Does our Ye Family still need these things for embellishment?!"

When he heard that, Daoist Zijin immediately shook his head and said, "What rubbish Robbing Spirit Root Skill… Bai Kui, are you brainless? Don't you know where the Robbing Spirit Root Skill originated from?"

When he heard Daoist Zijin's words, Elder Bai Kui was shocked. The origin of the Robbing Spirit Root Skill…

Bai Kui immediately sank into deep thought. After a few breaths, his expression suddenly changed.

As the Grand Imperial Sire of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, Elder Bai Kui could not possibly be unaware of the origins of the Robbing Spirit Root Skill. It was the Blood Moon Sect… the foremost power a thousand years ago!

A thousand years ago, even the ancestors of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty had joined the plot to exterminate the Blood Moon Sect…

Only a senior member of the Blood Moon Sect could use the Robbing Spirit Roots Skill. Others could not possibly learn it!

"Are you saying that this man is… a member of the Blood Moon Sect?!" Elder Bai Kui was shocked.

In recent times, he had heard the news that the Blood Moon Sect was reviving but had not taken it to heart.

"Eldest Young Lady, you must not kill this man," Elder Bai Kui hurriedly said. He was suddenly on the same side as Daoist Zijin.

"Eldest Young Lady, you should be aware of the Blood Moon Sect. It was the absolute power in this mainland a thousand years ago. Although it was exterminated, it can revive… This man must have some deep connection with the Blood Moon Sect. If he dies at the hands of our Ye Family, we will offend the Blood Moon Sect…" Cold sweat seeped from Daoist Zijin's forehead.

Although it had been exterminated a thousand years ago, the reputation of the Blood Moon Sect was still as formidable a thousand years later. As the saying went, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even the three biggest powers of today definitely did not dare to offend the Blood Moon Sect!

Unless all the sects and powerful families in this mainland allied again against a common enemy and completely eradicated the Blood Moon Sect before it had a chance to revive fully.

However, this was impossible. If the Blood Moon Sect revived now, it would still be incredibly powerful. No one was willing to antagonize the Blood Moon Sect. Further, the Blood Moon Sect might not be powerful enough to gain dominance. If it did not impinge on anyone's interest, who would dare to stick their necks out first and take on the Blood Moon Sect?!

Elder Bai Kui and the Daoist Zijin did not want the Ye Family to be the one to stick its neck out. The Ye Family had just risen to power. If they offended the Blood Moon Sect and was exterminated before they had achieved anything, that would be… a pity…

Now, Daoist Zijin and Elder Bai Kui made up their minds that no matter what, they would not allow the Eldest Young Lady to kill this Elder Qu. They really had the best intentions for the Ye Family and Eldest Young Lady.

Even if Ye Qingtang was a Yang Lord, no matter how powerful she was, she could not possibly oppose the Blood Moon Sect…

"Eldest Young Lady… please reconsider!"

"Eldest Young Lady, our Ye Family cannot afford to offend the Blood Moon Sect!"

"Eldest Young Lady, right now, there is no need for our Ye Family to offend the Blood Moon Sect!"

A few Ye Family Branch Masters also took the side of Elder Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin and spoke up to persuade her.

The members of the Ye Family did not know Elder Qu's status and were ignorant of the fact that Elder Qu was a traitor to the Blood Moon Sect. They simply thought that Elder Qu was a member of the Blood Moon Sect.

At that moment, Elder Qu's lips curved in a slight smile. He had thought of a way to extricate himself.

"Ah… so I have been discovered… I am one of the twenty-four elders of the Blood Moon Sect. If you harm me at all, it will be equivalent to opposing my Blood Moon Sect." Elder Qu swept a gaze across everyone and smiled coldly.

All the Ye Family members turned pale at Elder Qu's words. It did not matter whether he was speaking the truth. Even if he was lying, it was inconsequential. But if he was telling the truth and he really was one of the Blood Moon Sect's twenty-four elders, their Ye Family could not possibly bear the consequences. If the Eldest Young Lady killed a Blood Moon Sect Elder, the Ye Family would probably fall into an abyss from which there was no return. Even Ye Qingtang would probably suffer terrible consequences…

"Elder Qu, if you are really one of the Blood Moon Sect's twenty-four elders, then I could bear witness for you." Ye Qingtang stared at Elder Qu and smiled coldly. "However, you actually betrayed the Blood Moon Sect and entered the Yunxiao Sect. I suppose you haven't forgotten about that."

When they heard Ye Qingtang's words, Elder Bai Kui, Daoist Zijin, and even all the Ye Family Branch Masters were shocked.

This Blood Moon Sect Elder… was a traitor of the Blood Moon Sect??

"Hmph!" Elder Qu snorted coldly. "Nonsense!"

Although Elder Qu spoke with conviction, he was feeling rather guilty. How did this Yang Lord know about these events?

"Elder Qu, do you recognize me?" Ye Qingtang stared at Elder Qu.

"No." Elder Qu had already studied Ye Qingtang and found her unfamiliar.

"Since you don't recognize me… do you recognize this." Ye Qingtang pointed to her brow, her lips curving upwards.

1061 Traitor 4

Elder Qu was taken aback by Ye Qingtang's words. He did not understand her meaning but involuntarily glanced at her brow.

The next moment, a thin blood-colored crescent moon surfaced on Ye Qingtang's brow. The singular Blood Moon aura filled the entire area. The Blood Moon aura, which was unique to the Blood Moon Holy Lady, gradually surfaced.

Elder Qu was stunned for a few seconds when he saw the blood-colored crescent moon on Ye Qingtang's brow. When he snapped out of his trance, his lips moved a little, but he remained rooted to the spot.

A thousand years ago, Elder Qu had been a Blood Moon Sect Elder. He certainly recognized the mark of the Holy Lady of the Blood Moon Sect…

The girl standing before him had such a powerful Blood Moon aura…

"H-h-holy Lady… impossible… that's impossible!" Elder Qu could not believe it.

Elder Qu was ashen. The Yang Lord standing before him was the most mysterious Holy Lady of the Blood Moon Sect… even more mysterious than the two Blood Moon Guardians, who had never been seen before… Also, the status of Blood Moon Holy Lady was even higher than that of the Blood Moon Sect Master, almost equal to that of the Blood Moon Holy Lord.

When the Ye Family Branch Masters, Daoist Zijin, and the others saw the Blood Moon mark on Ye Qingtang's brow, they were also stunned.

However, when they learned from Elder Qu that their Eldest Young Lady was actually the Blood Moon Sect Holy Lady, they were completely shocked. They stared at Ye Qingtang and almost forgot to breathe.

"Holy… Holy Lady, please have mercy. Great Holy Lady, please have mercy!"

With a thump, Elder Qu's body slumped, and he kneeled by Ye Qingtang's feet.

"Elder Qu, a thousand years ago, you betrayed the Blood Moon Sect. You collaborated with outsiders to kill numerous members of the Blood Moon Sect. Now, I am going to show you grace and be merciful." Ye Qingtang fixed her gaze on Elder Qu and blandly spoke.

Actually, Ye Qingtang did not really identify with her status as Blood Moon Holy Lady. However, the Blood Moon Holy Lord was her sworn brother and was loyal to her. Now that she had run into a traitor of the Blood Moon Sect, she naturally needed to put the sect's affairs in order.

Besides this connection, Elder Qu and the others in the Yunxiao Sect had also harmed many of the younger talented martial arts cultivators.

Of course, it was none of Ye Qingtang's business as to who Elder Qu and the Yunxiao Sect had harmed, but the Xuanling Sect had almost been exterminated by the Yunxiao Sect, and this was closely related to Elder Qu. No matter what, Ye Qingtang would not allow him to leave.

"Kill him."

Ye Qingtang looked at Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin.

"Huh… what?!"

Daoist Zijin was taken aback. When he recovered his wits, he still looked rather shocked. "Eldest Young Holy Lady… kill?"

"Kill…"

Repeated Ye Qingtang.

"Hmph, I hate traitors the most. You Blood Moon Sect traitor, you betrayed the Blood Moon Sect and betrayed the Blood Moon Holy Lady. Your crimes are unforgivable!" One of the Ye Family Branch Masters stared at Elder Qu and shouted angrily.

The next moment, Daoist Zijin, Bai Kui, and a few Ye Family Branch Masters advanced together and simultaneously struck a killing blow.

Although Elder Qu had been a Yang Lord a thousand years ago, his current martial skills were merely around Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven. He could not possibly compare with Bai Kui, Daoist Zijin, and others. Within the span of ten breaths, the Ye Family members had acted together to kill him.

After Elder Qu was killed, the group from the Ye Family stared at the blood-colored mark on Ye Qingtang's brow. They were all shaken.

Besides being a Yang Lord… their Ye Family's Eldest Young Lady… was actually the Blood Moon Sect Holy Lady!

No wonder… no wonder she had become a Yang Lord at such a young age. No wonder she dared to challenge the Beiming Manor without fear…

1062 Shameless 1

Although the Ye Family members were surprised, Ye Qingtang did not explain to them, and the Branch Masters and elders did not dare to ask further.

After killing Elder Qu, Ye Qingtang bade farewell to the Ye Family members and informed Elder Bai Kui to bring Ye Ling and the other three elders of the Ye Family to Yunxiao Sect. Afterward, she left the Formidable Heavens Dynasty and flew towards the Nine Nights Dynasty.

It had been a long time since she left Falling Sky Valley, and it was now time she settled the matters there.

Currently, Falling Sky Valley had internal and external troubles. Not only did Perfected Xuanchen have to face the other Peak Masters, but he was even pressured by the Peerless School. Ye Qingtang's return to the Nine Nights Dynasty was none other than to resolve Falling Sky Valley's conflict.

In the sky, at the boundary of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty.

Ye Qingtang slowed down instantly as she looked behind her.

At this instant, two extremely powerful auras were flying towards her at lightning speed.

After sensing these two powerful auras, Ye Qingtang inspected her back.

In two breaths' time, these two auras were increasingly near, and two elderlies arrived at the spot in a flash.

These two elderlies were similar in age. Looking at their outfits, they did not seem to be from sects. However, their auras resembled that of strong waves that swept across the surroundings; they were at least at the Yang Lord level.

"Little girl, you run really fast."

One of the white-robed elderlies sized up Ye Qingtang for a moment, and shock emerged in his eyes as he commented with a laugh.

Ye Qingtang similarly sized up the two elderlies who suddenly arrived and blocked her way.

With the cultivation base of a Yang Lord and the fact that they appeared in the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, one did not need to think much to know that they were from Beiming Manor.

"May I know what you two stopped me for?" Ye Qingtang looked at the two elderlies and said.

After hearing Ye Qingtang, one of the elderlies said, "Little child, I heard that you annihilated Yunxiao Sect."

"That's right," Ye Qingtang said bluntly without waiting for the elderly to continue.

Both elderlies were slightly stunned when they heard Ye Qingtang admitting it so straightforwardly.

"Little girl, do you know that Yunxiao Sect is a super sect that is an affiliate of Beiming Manor? By annihilating Yunxiao Sect, it is equivalent to opposing Beiming Manor," the Beiming Manor elderly looked at Ye Qingtang and said with a smile.

"You two can just state your reason for being here. There's no need to beat around the bush," Ye Qingtang said.

"Haha… Little girl, you're rather young, but you have quite a temper." Another elderly sneered.

"I have a deep-seated hatred with Yunxiao Sect. It is right that Yunxiao Sect is annihilated by me when its skills are lower than mine. Yet, you two are blocking my way and calling me arrogant," Ye Qingtang said.

"Oh?" The Beiming Manor elderly snickered. "In that case, Yunxiao Sect is rightly annihilated by you since its skills are lower than yours. So, is it right that you're killed by us if your skills are lower than us?"

"If you all have the ability, why not give it a try?" Ye Qingtang cast a look at the two people and said coldly.

"Haha, there's no hurry." Another elderly laughed. "Little girl, you're so young, but you're already a Yang Lord. Our Beiming Manor is one of the three mighty forces of this mainland. We pay great attention to powerful talents. Given your skills, you can completely join Beiming Manor, become an Elder, and have the same status as us. How's that?"

1063 Shameless 2

The two Beiming Manor elderlies were here for none other than Ye Qingtang, a Yang Lord.

Once Ye Qingtang left and was not within Beiming Manor's boundary of control or joined Peerless School or Phantom Valley, it was not a good thing to Beiming Manor.

Although it was said that Beiming Manor could never accept another Yang Lord in order to maintain the balance among the three mighty forces, they could not let the Yang Lord end up in someone else's hands. They had to hold onto her first, and whatever they decided to do with her was something to be dealt with later on.

"Join Beiming Manor?" Ye Qingtang shook her head. "Not interested."

"Not interested?!"

After they heard Ye Qingtang's words, a glint flashed across the Beiming Manor elderly's eyes

No matter whether this lady was uninterested in Beiming Manor or in the three mighty forces, both Beiming Manor elderlies did not dare to take this risk as the consequences would be dire should they not deal with this Yang Lord.

"Not interested. Do you still want me to say it a third time?" Ye Qingtang said coldly.

Ye Qingtang had lived for hundreds of years and was clearly aware of what Beiming Manor was thinking, which was merely to hold onto her. However, once she joined Beiming Manor, the consequences would then be truly dire.

"Little girl… Do you really not want to reconsider?" The Beiming Manor elderly stared at Ye Qingtang and asked with a frown.

"There's no need to reconsider." Ye Qingtang replied firmly.

Upon hearing Ye Qingtang's reply, the two Beiming Manor elderlies exchanged a look. One of them nodded with a smile and said, "Alright. Beiming Manor has never forced people to do things against their will. Since you're unwilling, forget it then. However, if you are interested in the Beiming Manor in the future, you can head to Beiming Manor directly. Our doors will always be open for you."

"If that's the case, thanks a lot then," Ye Qingtang said.

It was the best if the two Beiming Manor elderlies thought that way. However, Ye Qingtang snickered to herself. They spoke so nicely on the surface, but it was impossible for Ye Qingtang to not know exactly what those two were thinking.

"I'll take my leave then."

Ye Qingtang cupped her fists towards the two Beiming Manor elderlies and subsequently turned around, wanting to leave.

However, just as Ye Qingtang turned around, one of the Beiming Manor elderly's eyes twinkled. Horrifying killing intent exploded from him, and he dashed forward at top speed; he was so fast that one could only see the motion of the waves of air with the naked eye. A black mist that emerged from his palm subsequently aimed towards the back of Ye Qingtang's head.

For a battle among Yang Lords of similar cultivation realm, if one party was totally unguarded while the other launched a sneak attack, the one who sneaked an attack could very possibly kill the other with one strike at close distance!

However, at this critical moment, Ye Qingtang scoffed. In a flash, she turned around and raised her palm to attack the Beiming Manor elderly.

A deep rumble echoed around them immediately. As Ye Qingtang's palm slammed against the Beiming Manor elderly's palm, it was as though there was a thunderous explosion from the sky.

After this strike, the two of them retreated several steps away from each other.

"Oh…"

The Beiming Manor elderly stared at Ye Qingtang and was taken aback. He previously saw that this Yang Lord was young and judged that her experiences in the outside world should be rather little. As such, whatever he said earlier on was just to make Ye Qingtang lower her guard.

1064 Shameless 3

However, the Beiming Manor elderly could not understand one point no matter how he thought about it: his words were flawless, and there was nothing to pick on, yet why was this lady already prepared for this attack?!

If Ye Qingtang was completely unprepared before and sensed it afterward, it was impossible for her to react so quickly, and she would have definitely been injured.

However, that was not what happened.

"Beiming Manor… One of the three mighty forces of this mainland. I never thought that the Manor has such sly people." Ye Qingtang looked at the Beiming Manor elderlies, and a cold glint emerged in her eyes.

If she was not already on her guard earlier on, the consequences would be unthinkable. Once she was injured and the two Yang Lords before her joined forces, they would be an extremely huge threat to her!

"Haha… Little girl, you annihilated Yunxiao Sect and injured my Beiming Manor envoy. You already have a death crime. If you join Beiming Manor today, perhaps Beiming Manor can still let bygones be bygones. However, you don't know what is good for you. Since that's the case, there's no need for you to leave here today." The Beiming Manor elderly sneered, exposing his true nature.

"Even if I joined Beiming Manor, I'm afraid that it does not have room for me either. By then, even if I died, I would most likely die mysteriously." Ye Qingtang snickered coldly.

"Oh… You even know about this too?" The two Beiming Manor elderlies were startled and were in disbelief.

Given this girl's age, she could actually analyze all of that…

"Hahahaha, little girl, it seems that you're not a brainless Yang Lord… With things as such, there's no harm coming clean with you. Your guesses are indeed right. Currently, the three mighty forces are relatively balanced, and with you, a Yang Lord, this balance will be destroyed no matter which side you join, and the side you join would definitely be jointly annihilated by the other two forces… Neither the Phantom Valley, Peerless School, or our Beiming Manor wish to see such a situation happen. As long as you die, everyone will be happy, right?" The Beiming Manor elderly laughed.

Ye Qingtang did not retort and nodded. "What you said makes a lot of sense. However… the condition is that you all need to have the ability to do so."

"Humph. Little girl, don't be so selfish. Even if it's for the balance of the three mighty forces, offering your life is worth it," a Beiming Manor elderly said.

"It's a pity that the so-called three mighty forces that you all are talking about are nothing in my eyes," said Ye Qingtang.

"Haha… interesting. I just thought that your thinking is extremely mature. Now, it seems that that is not the case. After all, you're too young. Do you really believe that you are unparalleled now that you are a Yang Lord?!" The Beiming Manor elderly scoffed.

Each of the three mighty forces of this mainland had four Yang Lords. With a total of twelve Yang Lords, what could Ye Qingtang, a mere itinerant cultivator, amount to?!

"I don't dare to believe that I am unparalleled, but I should be skilled enough to deal with you two." Ye Qingtang had an indifferent expression.

After hearing what Ye Qingtang had said, the Beiming Manor elderly was infuriated. "With death at hand, how dare you make such bold claims!"

Then, the Beiming Manor elderly shot a look to the other elderly.

That elderly then retrieved a scarlet ancient mirror from his space ring.

As the scarlet ancient mirror appeared, a surge of olden air flooded out.

1065 Mirror of Illusions 1

A blood-colored light suddenly gushed out of the scarlet ancient mirror in the Beiming Manor elderly's hand as though it was an everlasting aurora. Without giving Ye Qingtang any time to react, it instantly enshrouded Ye Qingtang in it.

Sensing the aura of this blood-colored light, Ye Qingtang frowned slightly.

This scarlet ancient mirror was a Dharma treasure exclusive to Yang Lords. Its level was extremely high, and only Yang Lords and those above the Yang Lord realm could control and use it.

"Hahaha, little girl, this mirror is the Captive Sky Mirror. Even a Yang Lord will lose control of their body movement once they are caught in this mirror…" The Beiming Manor elderly who held the ancient mirror snickered as he looked at Ye Qingtang, who was sealed within the ancient mirror.

No matter how powerful a Yang Lord was, if they were unable to move and faced two other Yang Lords who were set out to kill, the only outcome was death.

Ye Qingtang immediately activated the powers of the Heavenly Demon bloodline and executed the Heavenly Demon devouring bloodline in the fastest time possible.

The devouring bloodline could devour everything in this world, including mental energy and physical energy!

No matter what energy this Dharma treasure made use of, it was unable to withstand the strength of the Heavenly Demon devouring bloodline.

As the devouring powers were executed, the blood-colored light from the ancient mirror was completely swallowed by Ye Qingtang's Heavenly Demon devouring bloodline in no time.

Moreover, Ye Qingtang could clearly feel that the power in her body seemed to have increased a little, probably from devouring the ancient mirror energy earlier on. Although it was not obvious, she could still feel it.

"This is?!"

Noticing the situation, the two Beiming Manor elderlies were dumbstruck and could not comprehend the situation.

"This little girl must have a similar Dharma treasure to counter it…" The elderly with the scarlet ancient mirror mumbled with a frown.

Both Beiming Manor elderlies did not have much knowledge about the Heavenly Demon bloodline and thus were oblivious that Ye Qingtang used the Heavenly Demon devouring bloodline earlier on.

A battle among Yang Lords was not simple and took up a lot of time. As such, both Yang Lords originally wanted to use the Dharma treasure to end the battle quickly, but they never thought that the Captive Sky Mirror would have no effect on Ye Qingtang.

"Humph. Since that's the case, we will join forces… and use the Secret Sound Sky Spirit Technique to kill this girl!" The Beiming Manor elderly said.

"That's the only way." The other elderly nodded and immediately stored his scarlet ancient mirror.

Then, both of them used their palms to form a print, and a massive primordial qi and mental energy instantly erupted.

The Secret Sound Sky Spirit Technique was one of the divine techniques of Beiming Manor. However, the conditions for executing this technique were extremely harsh and required Yang Lords of at least Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven to join forces in order for the technique to have an invincible might.

It was difficult for even Ye Qingtang to defend against such a divine technique. The Secret Sound Sky Spirit Technique mainly attacked one's mental state and was not considered a physical attack; thus, there was no way to defend against it. This was also the frightening aspect of the technique.

In an instant, an unusual sound that resembled a howl from hell rang around Ye Qingtang and caused goosebumps.

"It is not only your Beiming Manor that has Dharma treasures."

Without hesitation, Ye Qingtang immediately retrieved an even plainer ancient mirror from her space ring.

This ancient mirror was the Mirror of Illusions. It could only be used by the Phoenix Bloodline and would materialize all attacking forces.

Ye Qingtang obtained this Mirror of Illusions in the Dragon Vein as a gift from the Divine Phoenix after obtaining the Divine Phoenix inheritance.

1066 Mirror of Illusions 2

The two Beiming Manor elderlies did not recognize the Mirror of Illusions in Ye Qingtang's hand and were not affected by anything; thus, they focused fully on the Secret Sound Sky Spirit Technique.

However, Ye Qingtang used the Mirror of Illusions at this instant.

In the next second, all the unusual sounds actually turned into logs of wood.

The logs fell from the sky and crashed onto the ground noisily.

The scene that played out before their eyes left the two Beiming Manor elderlies completely dumbfounded and in disbelief.

The Secret Sound Sky Spirit Technique actually turned into logs of wood when shone on by Ye Qingtang's ancient mirror. How could this be?!

"What is that Dharma treasure of yours?!" One of the Beiming Manor elderlies stared at Ye Qingtang and asked in disbelief.

They had never heard of a Dharma treasure which could turn attacks into logs of wood.

However, Ye Qingtang scoffed and did not utter a word. She immediately stored the Mirror of Illusions and turned into a flash of shadow as she leaped forward. Using her palm as a knife, she slashed down at one Beiming Manor elderly.

Noticing the situation, the Beiming Manor elderly grunted in fury, immediately stepped forward, and entered a scuffle with Ye Qingtang.

However, this person's martial skills were only at the late-stage of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven and was not Ye Qingtang's opponent. Dozens of moves later, he was already in a disadvantageous position.

Another Beiming Manor elderly joined in instantly. This person's martial realm was similar to that of Ye Qingtang's Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven peak.

However, even if the two Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven late-stage and peak cultivators joined forces, they were still on the losing ground and were simply not Ye Qingtang's opponent.

"How can this be?!"

The two Beiming Manor elderlies were increasingly astonished as they fought. Although Ye Qingtang was at the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven, her combat powers did not lose to an Eighth Heaven cultivator and were even neck and neck with their Beiming Manor Chief!

In no time, these two Beiming Manor elderlies were severely injured. Should they continue the battle, it would not be of any threat to Ye Qingtang while they would be in a dangerous situation instead.

"Retreat first!"

The two Beiming Manor elderlies exchanged a look, and one of them said with a frown.

After fighting with Ye Qingtang for some time, both of them were fully aware that it was impossible for the two of them to be of any threat to Ye Qingtang in the current situation. They could only leave first and leave subsequent matters to be resolved by the Manor Chief.

If the Manor Chief took action personally and came with their few Yang Lords, this lady could be killed easily…

"Humph, little girl… your skills are indeed impressive… However, you have offended Beiming Manor now, and there's no way out. We will not pursue you anymore today. The situation will change. The next time we meet, I will take your life!"

Afterward, the two Beiming Manor elderlies turned into a flash of shadow and flew towards the sky.

"You come and go as you wish. Do you think it is that simple?"

If Beiming Manor sent all its Yang Lords and the Beiming Manor Chief, even Ye Qingtang would be unable to cope with that. It was best to kill these two Yang Lords here right now!

Swoosh!

Ye Qingtang waved the Regicide Sky Blade, and a scarlet sword gleam with an extremely intense power of the Divine Phoenix bloodline slashed the sky.

Boom!

One of the wounded Yang Lords was caught off guard and fully bore Ye Qingtang's blow.

1067 Mirror of Illusions 3

The Beiming Manor elderly was extremely pale from the blow and spat out blood as he fell from the sky to the ground.

Realizing the situation, the other Beiming Manor elderly was alarmed and did not dare to stop for a second. He sped up and flew with all his might, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ye Qingtang did not continue to pursue that Yang Lord who fled away and instead landed from the sky and stood before the heavily-injured Beiming Manor elderly.

It was this person who spoke cleverly to make her put down her guard and then targeted her with a lethal strike.

"You…"

The Beiming Manor elderly was as pale as a dead person as he watched Ye Qingtang warily. Never had he expected that this lady's combat power would be this large and powerful.

The previous plan was for him and the other Yang Lord to join forces. If they could convince Ye Qingtang to join Beiming Manor, then they would leave it, but if they were unable to convince her, they had to kill her right there and then.

Nonetheless, no one had expected that even when he joined forces with another Yang Lord, in the end, they were also not Ye Qingtang's opponents and were defeated by her…

"One should not harbor any murderous thoughts. If careless, the one who dies will be yourself," Ye Qingtang looked at the heavily injured Beiming Manor elderly and scoffed.

"You dare to kill me?!" The Beiming Manor elderly's expression darkened. "You and Beiming Manor have not reached the irrevocable stage. If you kill me, Beiming Manor will definitely be after your life in the future… Can you take on Beiming Manor on your own?!"

"I don't want to have any relations with Beiming Manor at all, but you all will not leave me alone. Since that's the case, don't blame me for putting up a strong resistance."

As she spoke, she did not even give the Beiming Manor elderly any reaction time and waved her Regicide Sky Blade.

In an instant, the Regicide Sky Blade chopped the Beiming Manor elderly's head, and a Yang Lord of the Beiming Manor died like that.

Beiming Manor's loss of a Yang Lord was not as simple as just the death of a powerful figure.

The three mighty forces of this mainland had four Yang Lords each, and this resulted in a counterbalancing effect where no party could do anything to another.

Nonetheless, now that Beiming Manor lost a Yang Lord and only had three Yang Lords remaining, it would no longer be on the same level as Phantom Valley and Peerless School, and they were, at the very least, weaker than the other two great forces.

If Phantom Valley and Peerless School learned of the death of this Yang Lord, the consequences would be disastrous. Once one of the three mighty forces were weakened, it would definitely face the invasion of others. This was the law of the jungle and also an unchangeable fact of the struggle between forces.

Ye Qingtang believed that Beiming Manor would not have any time to deal with Phantom Valley and Peerless School, much less herself.

She searched through the Beiming Manor elderly's body and kept his space ring. Subsequently, she shot up into the sky and flew towards the Nine Nights Dynasty.

Given Ye Qingtang's current speed of a Yang Lord, it merely took half a day for her to fly from the Formidable Heavens Dynasty to the Nine Nights Dynasty.

Apart from resolving the internal and external crisis of Falling Sky Valley, Ye Qingtang could perhaps spread the news that Beiming Manor lost a Yang Lord to Phantom Valley and Peerless School…

However, once Ye Qingtang returned to the Nine Nights Dynasty, she would probably have some conflict with Peerless School to help Falling Sky Valley.

1068 Falling Sky Valley 1

Several Peerless School disciples returned to Falling Sky Valley again. Apart from demanding Falling Sky Valley to hand over Perfected Xuanchen's disciple, Ye Chen, they also requested an increment in the offerings to Peerless School.

The Full Moon Peak Master, Xuanyuan Yi, told the Peerless School disciples with a smile. "That Ye Chen is indeed not in Falling Sky Valley right now…"

"Humph! We have already investigated it clearly. That fellow isn't even from the ancient clan and has an unknown origin. Injuring a Peerless School disciple is a crime punishable by death. We don't care where that fellow is right now. He is the disciple of your Falling Sky Valley Valley Master, and we will only ask Falling Sky Valley for him," one of the Peerless School disciples said.

Upon hearing that, Full Moon Peak Master Xuanyuan Yi sized up Perfected Xuanchen and snickered. Ye Chen was Perfected Xuanchen's disciple, and Perfected Xuanchen had to be the one who gave an explanation.

"What you all said is very true." Xuanyuan Yi nodded and said. "However, that Ye Chen is Perfected Xuanchen's disciple. Valley Master will definitely give Peerless School an explanation for this matter. Please rest assured."

Everyone's eyes landed on Perfected Xuanchen successively.

"Perfected Xuanchen, that Ye Chen is your disciple. You must hand over Ye Chen today, or you will bear the consequences yourself."

The Peerless School warden looked at Perfected Xuanchen and scoffed.

Perfected Xuanchen frowned deeply upon hearing that. Ye Chen had left Falling Sky Valley for a long time and never appeared since then. While Perfected Xuanchen was unaware of Ye Chen's location, he would definitely not tell anyone Ye Chen's location even if he knew that Ye Chen was his disciple.

"To be honest, I don't know where my disrespectful disciple is at either… Thus, I am afraid I cannot do anything to help. However, the issue of increasing Falling Sky Valley's offerings to Peerless School can be considered," Perfected Xuanchen looked at the Peerless School people and said.

"Increasing the offerings is a must. However, Ye Chen must be handed over as well. This is Peerless School's orders and not a negotiation with your Falling Sky Valley!" A Peerless School warden shouted coldly.

Perfected Xuanchen was extremely helpless but could not do anything either.

At this instant, a Falling Sky Valley disciple came and greeted Perfected Xuanchen with cupped fists. "Valley Master…"

Full Moon Peak Master furrowed his brows and yelled furiously. "Insolent! Don't you know how to look at the occasion!"

"Peak Master… It's not…" The Falling Sky Valley disciple said hurriedly. "A powerful figure is here to pay Falling Sky Valley a visit!"

"Powerful figure?!"

Everyone was stunned to hear what this Falling Sky Valley disciple had said.

"What kind of powerful figure is it for you to rush in here without permission so insolently!" The Full Moon Peak Master questioned coldly.

"It's… It's a Yang Lord!" The Falling Sky Valley disciple replied hastily.

Everyone was taken by surprise. A Yang Lord was visiting Falling Sky Valley?!

"Yang Lord?"

Even Perfected Xuanchen was filled with astonishment, much less Full Moon Peak Master.

"That's right," the Falling Sky Valley disciple said as he nodded repeatedly.

"The Yang Lord… is from Peerless School?" The Peerless School warden asked after some thinking.

A Yang Lord in the Nine Nights Dynasty could only be from Peerless School.

"Uh… I don't know about that." The Falling Sky Valley disciple shook his head. It was the first time in his life seeing a Yang Lord; God knows if that Yang Lord was from Peerless School.

1069 Falling Sky Valley 2

"It must be my Peerless School's Yang Lord," the Peerless School warden said with affirmation, though he was very confused as well. Why did their Peerless School's Yang Lord suddenly come to Falling Sky Valley?

"Go. Let's welcome the Yang Lord together," said the Peerless School warden.

Then, everyone rose and walked out of Falling Sky Valley.

…

Outside Falling Sky Valley, Ye Qingtang stood far away. Several Falling Sky Valley senior executives and disciples were already beside her, and their attitudes were extremely respectful.

A Yang Lord was an unparalleled powerful figure of this mainland, and a Yang Lord's visit was a great honor to Falling Sky Valley.

However, the Falling Sky Valley senior executives were extremely curious as to why a dignified Yang Lord would be at Falling Sky Valley.

A while later, Peerless School's warden and disciples, Perfected Xuanchen, Full Moon Peak Master, and the rest walked over briskly.

Everyone was surprised when they saw Ye Qingtang. No one had expected that not only was this Yang Lord a lady, she was also so young. Looking from her appearance, she seemed to be in her teens only.

Of course, regardless of her age, no one dared to belittle a Yang Lord.

"This…"

The Peerless School warden sized up Ye Qingtang in surprise. This lady was not from their Peerless School but was indeed an authentic Yang Lord…

There was only a handful of Yang Lords on this mainland, but why did a Yang Lord suddenly appear out of nowhere…

"Greetings, Yang Lord!"

Perfected Xuanchen, Full Moon Peak Master, and the rest immediately bowed to Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang nodded.

"Dare I ask for your name and origin?" The Peerless School warden asked.

"Who are you?" Ye Qingtang looked at the Peerless School warden and said coldly.

"I am a warden of the Peerless School!" The Peerless School warden said with a haughty expression.

"Get lost." Ye Qingtang shot him a cold look and said rather impatiently with a frown.

"You…"

The Peerless School warden was instantly enraged after hearing Ye Qingtang. He was a warden of Peerless School and represented the entire Peerless School when outside, yet this lady dared to tell him to get lost?!

So what if she was a Yang Lord? Their Peerless School had four Yang Lords!

"Yang Lord, this is a Peerless School envoy. I believe you aren't foreign with the Peerless School… There are four Yang Lords in the Peerless School…" Full Moon Peak Master, Xuanyuan Yi, looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

"What are you?" Ye Qingtang's eyes landed on Xuanyuan Yi.

Ye Qingtang clearly remembered that before she left Falling Sky Valley, Xuanyuan Yi was after her life. Now that she was back, she had to settle this score with Xuanyuan Yi as well.

Seeing that Ye Qingtang behaved this way, Full Moon Peak Master did not dare to utter another word. Given his cultivation realm, the Yang Lord before him could easily take his life with just a thought if she wanted to. As such, Xuanyuan Yi did not dare to continue speaking.

Xuanyuan Yi looked at Ye Qingtang discreetly. and his brows were deeply furrowed. For some reason, he felt that this unrivaled Yang Lord before him was a little familiar-looking, as though he had seen her somewhere before, but he could not recall where.

"Yang Lord, may I know if you have any instructions for gracing Falling Sky Valley with your presence?"

Perfected Xuanchen looked at Ye Qingtang and asked.

"I passed by coincidentally and wanted to take a look at Falling Sky Valley," Ye Qingtang said.

1070 Casual Stroll

Perfected Xuanchen was doubtful but did not dare to speak as he wished when just inches away from an unparalleled Yang Lord.

"Since that's the case, please enter Falling Sky Valley, Yang Lord."

Perfected Xuanchen immediately took a small step back and gestured to Ye Qingtang politely.

Ye Qingtang did not say a word and entered Falling Sky Valley.

After knowing that a Yang Lord appeared in Falling Sky Valley, both Peak Masters of Water Cut Peak and Blue Cloud Peak showed up.

However, Ye Qingtang only talked to Perfected Xuanchen and did not really bother with the other Peak Masters.

At this instant, Perfected Xuanchen was walking in the lead while everyone else was beside Ye Qingtang and did not dare to say anything.

No one was clear of this young Yang Lord's intentions for coming to Falling Sky Valley, and Perfected Xuanchen could only be extremely cautious.

However, the Peerless School warden and the other three Peak Masters were rather impatient, especially the Peerless School warden. Outside, he represented Peerless School, but the person who accompanied the foreign Yang Lord was not them. What was this?

The Peerless School warden sized up Ye Qingtang. She was extremely foreign and was not a Yang Lord from Peerless School, Phantom Valley, or Beiming Manor.

"Everyone, we are not yet done settling our matters today."

Very quickly, the Peerless School warden swept a look across Perfected Xuanchen and the rest.

Perfected Xuanchen frowned deeply. He looked at the Yang Lord before him and said apologetically, "Yang Lord… we still have some matters to discuss. If you have time, how about staying in Falling Sky Valley for two days…"

Upon hearing that, Ye Qingtang sneered on the inside but maintained an indifferent expression. "Don't bother with me. You all can just discuss your matters."

Perfected Xuanchen nodded. After giving Yan Shu instructions, Perfected Xuanchen returned to the main hall with the Peerless School envoy.

Currently, Yan Shu was accompanying Ye Qingtang cautiously. This was also Yan Shu's first time seeing and standing so close to a Yang Lord.

"You are Yan Shu." Ye Qingtang's eyes landed on Yan Shu as she commented softly.

"Yang Lord, I am indeed Yan Shu." Yan Shu did not dare to look Ye Qingtang in the eye; thus, he lowered his head and replied respectfully.

"I am talking to you. Why are you not looking at me?" When Ye Qingtang saw the usually-serious Yan Shu's current behavior, she could not help but laugh in her heart.

Upon hearing that, Yan Shu was startled and hurriedly looked up at Ye Qingtang.

Their eyes met. When Yan Shu looked at the almost-perfect face that was inches away from him, his heart skipped a beat. Not only was this Yang Lord young, but her appearance was also truly extraordinary like that of an otherworldly fairy.

"Bring me around the valley," Ye Qingtang looked at Yan Shu and said.

"Noted…"

Yan Shu hurried walked at the front and brought Ye Qingtang around the valley.

Sometime later, the two of them arrived at a training field and saw a few disciples exchanging blows.

Just as Ye Qingtang stopped in her tracks, she suddenly heard a loud rumble. A flashing shadow of a male shot towards her like an arrow.

With sharp eyes and agile hands, Ye Qingtang immediately caught that figure.

Looking at the enraged male before her, Ye Qingtang recognized that this person was none other than her Master's disciple, Ji Yixuan.

"Thank you, Junior Sister!"

Ji Yixuan was boiling with anger when he took a look at Ye Qingtang and actually did not recognize Ye Qingtang at once.

Although Ji Yixuan had seen Ye Qingtang's female appearance before, a lot of time had passed since then.

1071 Falsely Accused Of A Capital Offense

When Ji Yixuan was in the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, Ye Qingtang had rescued him from the hands of the Yunxiao Sect disciples. So, of course, Ji Yixuan had seen her real face.

However, some time had passed, and it was natural for Ji Yixuan not to recognize her immediately.

Presumably, Yan Shu had taken Ye Qingtang for an ordinary Falling Sky Valley disciple.

But at that moment, Yan Shu was frowning deeply.

This Ji Yixuan… was actually addressing a Yang Lord as his Junior Sister?!

Did he have a death wish…

"Haha… Ji Yixuan, you are so weak even though you are the Valley Master's disciple… I can see that most of Perfected Xuanchen's sect is useless."

Before Yan Shu could open his mouth to remind him to maintain the act, a white-robed man suddenly stared at Ji Yixuan and laughed coldly.

"Xuanyuan Lie, you are spouting nonsense!" Ji Yixuan shouted in anger.

The person who had just spoken was Xuanyuan Lie, the grandson of the Full Moon Peak Master, Xuanyuan Yi.

When Ye Qingtang left the Falling Sky Valley, she planned to head to the Dragon Vein. Xuanyuan Lie had left the valley to block her way and kill her but was defeated by Ye Qingtang. After that, Xuanyuan Yi had arrived in time to pursue Ye Qingtang, intending to kill her.

Ye Qingtang still remembered these past hostilities. Naturally, her present return to the Falling Sky Valley was to call in her debts.

"Humph!"

Xuanyuan Lie immediately shouted coldly. "Ji Yixuan, you stole the Full Moon Sutra from the Full Moon Peak. That is a capital offense!"

"Xuanyuan Lie, you framed me!" Ji Yixuan bellowed coldly.

"What a joke. Our Full Moon Peak's Full Moon Sutra was found on your person. How dare you argue against such compelling evidence! Clearly, Perfected Xuanchen's disciples are all like that." Xuanyuan Lie laughed coldly.

Yan Shu could not help but frown at the scene before him. He immediately smiled at Ye Qingtang apologetically.

He advanced to face Ji Yixuan and asked, "Yixuan, what's going on?"

"This Xuanyuan Lie took the Full Moon Peak's Full Moon Sutra under the guise of wanting to spar with me. He doctored the Full Moon Sutra and then secretly hid it on my person, but he said that I stole the Full Moon Peak's Full Moon Sutra!" Ji Yixuan said to Yan Shu.

When he heard Ji Yixuan's words, Yan Shu looked at Xuanyuan Lie meaningfully.

Full Moon Peak's was growing stronger, and it had asked Master Perfected Xuanchen to give up his position as Valley Master. In addition, Water Cut Peak and Blue Cloud Peak had declared that they would be on the side of Full Moon Peak.

During the past few days, Xuanyuan Lie had been going around provoking Full Moon Peak members and had become increasingly unrestrained. But they had not imagined that he would frame someone.

Stealing a sutra was a capital offense. Even though he was the Valley Master, Perfected Xuanchen could not protect Ji Yixuan unless the latter could produce evidence.

In addition, the Full Moon Sutra was indeed found on Ji Yixuan's person. Everyone had seen it, and there was no way he could deny it.

"Yixuan, do you have any evidence that Xuanyuan Lie framed you?" Yan Shu looked at Ji Yixuan and frowned as he spoke.

If Ji Yixuan could produce evidence, he would be saved, and he could also denounce Xuanyuan Lie for defamation.

"This… Yan Shu, I have no evidence…"

Ji Yixuan shook his head. Although he knew what had happened, he could not prove that Xuanyuan Lie had framed him.

Xuanyuan Lie had certainly planned this for a long time. He would not be caught out on any of the details.

"Yan Shu, this beast… has been provoking our kin and now has framed me. Clearly, he has ambitions regarding Full Moon Peak and is about to act!" Ji Yixuan said hastily.

Was anyone unaware of his ambitions towards Full Moon Peak?!

1072 The Death Penalty Is Inevitable

"Yixuan, don't talk nonsense." Yan Shu glanced at Ji Yixuan. Although everyone was aware of these matters, it was better not to say them out loud, especially in public.

"Ji Yixuan, I think you are just spouting nonsense because you know you have committed a capital offense and cannot avoid death…" Xuanyuan Lie laughed coldly. He then faced a few Justice Wardens who were standing nearby, cupped his fists, and said smilingly, "Lords, there is irrefutable evidence that Ji Yixuan stole my Full Moon Peak's Full Moon Sutra and committed a capital offense."

With that, a warden of the Hall of Justice nodded and said, "We already know that. We have come today to capture Ji Yixuan and bring him back to the Hall of Justice for questioning."

When he heard that, Xuanyuan Lie's lips curved upwards and arched in a cold, mysterious smile.

But Yan Shu frowned deeply. Ordinary people could not enter the Hall of Justice. Even if they were innocent, they would certainly lose a layer of skin after entering the Hall of Justice. Now, the Hall of Justice was under the Full Moon Peak's jurisdiction. If Ji Yixuan was really brought into the Hall of Justice, the consequences would be dire. Ji Yixuan would probably cease to exist within the Falling Sky Valley.

"Wardens, this matter is too important." With that, Yan Shu looked at the Justice Wardens and spoke.

When he heard that, a Justice Warden said coldly, "You are right. Stealing the most precious treasure of the Full Moon Peak, the Full Moon Sutra, is indeed important."

"Wardens, the truth of this matter is unclear. Even if Ji Yixuan really stole the Full Moon Sutra, he is still the Valley Master's disciple. The Valley Master is discussing important matters with the Lord of the Peerless School. If we really want to deal with this matter, we need to wait for the Valley Master to have time to attend to it personally," Yan Shu said.

After he heard Yan Shu's words, one of the Justice Wardens laughed coldly and disdainfully. "Even if a Prince commits a crime, he should be punished in the same way as a commoner… in any case, Ji Yixuan is only a disciple of the Valley Master. Even if the Valley Master were to come here personally, it would be of no use!"

"This…"

Yan Shu sank into silence. It looked as if the Hall of Justice had indeed sought refuge with the Full Moon Peak. Otherwise, they would not deal with such an important matter so casually.

In addition, Xuanyuan Lie's words were full of loopholes. Ji Yixuan was the Valley Master's disciple and had even more profound sutras that he could study. Why would he seek out something inferior and even risk his life to steal the Full Moon Peak's Full Moon Sutra? It did not make any sense.

At that moment, the wardens of the Hall of Justice did not care about these loopholes at all. They only wanted to swiftly convict Ji Yixuan. As to what they were thinking, only they themselves knew.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense!" A warden of the Hall of Justice shouted coldly. "Ji Yixuan, you have committed a heinous crime in stealing the most precious treasure of the Full Moon Peak, the Full Moon Sutra. Based on the rules of the Falling Sky Valley, if anyone steals a peak's item, they have committed a grave offense. To steal a peak's secret sutra is a capital offense… Now you have been caught red-handed. Do you plead guilty!"

"Plead guilty?!" A bone-chilling laugh came from Ji Yixuan. "I, Ji Yixuan, have been honest and above-board my whole life. My conscience is clear. If you want my life, you can have it… if you try to falsely accuse me and shame my Master's reputation, then you can dream on!"

"What a joke. The Full Moon Sutra that the Full Moon Peak lost was found on your person. Everyone saw it, and it cannot possibly be false evidence. Even if you deny it a hundred times over, it will still be useless. Ji Yixuan, you better give yourself up. If you resist, you will suffer the consequences!" The warden of the Hall of Justice shouted coldly.

1073 In Deep Trouble

To the Hall of Justice, it was not important whether Ji Yixuan had really stolen the Full Moon Sutra. What was important was that Ji Yixuan was related to the Valley Master and that they were part of the Full Moon Peak.

Clank!

Ji Yixuan suddenly drew the sword at his waist.

"Are you really going to resist?!"

When they saw that, the wardens of the Hall of Justice and Xuanyuan Lie laughed coldly.

If Ji Yixuan resisted, they could kill him on the spot. Then, the Valley Master, Perfected Xuanchen would not be able to retain his position for much longer.

"Yan Shu!"

Ji Yixuan looked at Yan Shu. "Tell my Master that I, Ji Yixuan, have been honest and above-board all my life. I have never done anything deceitful… Today, I, Ji Yixuan, have been maligned by the Full Moon Peak. This incident is merely a ruse by the Full Moon Peak in its bid for power… Ask my Master to be careful… I will leave first!"

As he said that, Ji Yixuan brandished his sword upward. His face was filled with determination. He would use his death to prove his innocence. He would not allow Perfected Xuanchen and the others to be besmirched in any way by him!

"What?!"

When he saw what was happening, Yan Shu's expression changed. Ji Yixuan's long sword was already at his neck. He was too fast, and although Yan Shu tried to stop him, it was too late.

However, at that moment, Ye Qingtang flicked her wrist. No one saw what Ye Qingtang did, but the longsword in Ji Yixuan's hand was instantly struck to the ground.

"Junior sister…"

Ji Yixuan looked at Ye Qingtang in shock. He did not know why Ye Qingtang had stopped him.

Ye Qingtang looked at Ji Yixuan, who had resolved to die. She could not help but sigh inwardly. This Senior Brother Ji was too straightforward.

Ye Qingtang laughed softly.

"If you didn't do it, why use your death to prove it? It's not worth it."

Yan Shu was also shocked. He had not thought that this Yang Lord would act in time to rescue Ji Yixuan…

"How dare you!"

At that moment, a warden of the Hall of Justice glared at Ye Qingtang in rage. "Who are you to impede the Hall of Justice?!"

When he saw what was happening, Yan Shu wanted to speak out and stop them. But he thought for a moment and remained silent in the end.

At that moment, Ye Qingtang was looking at the Warden. Her eyes were expressionless. "Are you talking to me?"

"Bring both Ji Yixuan and this girl back to the Hall of Justice. Now, I suspect that the two of them were in cahoots to steal the Full Moon Peak's Full Moon Sutra!" The warden of the Hall of Justice shouted coldly.

When she heard that, Ye Qingtang smiled and nodded slightly. "I never thought that in this day and age, there is still someone who dares to speak to a Lord like that."

Ye Qingtang's words surprised everyone.

Who did this girl think she was to call herself… a Lord?!

Only a Yin Yang Perfected Lord could be called a Lord…

The next moment, the force of a Yang Lord shot skyward.

In an instant, it shrouded the entire Falling Sky Valley. It was as if a Lord Demon from Hell had descended. A blood-colored light flashed through the entire void. Under the supreme force of a Yang Lord, everyone present started to shudder violently as their pupils constricted.

At that moment, the Full Moon Peak's Xuanyuan Yi, the various senior disciples, and the wardens of the Hall of Justice were completely stunned. They stared at Ye Qingtang in disbelief.

"Yang… Yang… Yang… Yang Lord…?!"

One of the wardens of the Hall of Justice felt that the earth had split and that the sky had fallen. It was like the end of the world.

He had actually tried to capture a… Yang Lord…

No one had taken any notice of Ye Qingtang. They had just assumed that this girl was an ordinary disciple of the Falling Sky Valley. However, at that moment, they all realized that this beautiful girl was… an invincible Yang Lord!

1074 Miss Ye

At that moment, the wardens of the Hall of Justice in the Falling Sky Valley were all stunned. They stared at Ye Qingtang in disbelief.

Why would a formidable Yang Lord, who was invincible in this mainland, appear in their Falling Sky Valley?!

Ye Qingtang's bland gaze passed over the wardens of the Hall of Justice. Without another word, she struck out with her palm!

The power of a Yang Lord instantly filled the entire area. The bodies of the wardens of the Hall of Justice instantly transformed into mists of blood and vanished from this earth.

Everyone was shocked and struck dumb when they saw a Yang Lord strike and swiftly kill the wardens of the Hall of Justice.

The next second, Ye Qingtang's gaze fell on Xuanyuan Lie.

This person had tried to kill her outside the Falling Sky Valley. Now that Ye Qingtang had returned, she certainly would not let him off.

With just one look, Xuanyuan Lie's eyes, ears, and nose started to bleed. Under the oppression of Ye Qingtang's Yang Lord force, he died almost instantly.

"This…"

Ji Yixuan looked at Ye Qingtang in shock. His lips moved slightly as if he had forgotten how to think.

Even Yan Shu had not expected Ye Qingtang to kill so decisively. Even Xuanyuan Lie had not been able to escape…

"Greetings Yang Lord… I did not recognize the Yang Lord just now. Please forgive me…"

Ji Yixuan bowed to Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang looked at the Ji Yixuan, who was terrified and trembling. She gestured at him so that he would not stand on ceremony.

By her reckoning, Ye Qingtang had already saved Ji Yixuan twice, including the time in the Formidable Heavens Dynasty.

Truly, she and Ji Yixuan were "fated"…

At that moment, Ji Yixuan was studying Ye Qingtang closely.

However, upon closer inspection, Ji Yixuan's expression became increasingly peculiar.

Why… did this Yang Lord seem so familiar?

He felt that he had seen her somewhere before…

Ji Yixuan involuntarily searched his mind, and after a moment, he suddenly seemed to recall something. His pupils constricted violently. "You are… Miss Ye?!"

Ye Qingtang could not help but laugh softly when she saw sudden realization dawn on Ji Yixuan.

He finally remembered who she was.

Yan Shu's expression was rather strange as he watched this scene between Ji Yixuan and Ye Qingtang.

Could it be that Ji Yixuan knew this Yang Lord?

Although Ye Qingtang did not admit it, her smile clearly showed that Ji Yixuan's guess was correct.

Ji Yixuan was highly agitated and could not calm down. In the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, Ye Qingtang had rescued him from the hands of the Yunxiao Sect Sect Master's disciples…

Ji Yixuan remembered that Ye Qingtang was an ordinary disciple of a sect named Xuanling Sect in the Formidable Heavens Dynasty. Within the short span of half a year, she had appeared again as an invincible Yang Lord!

"I have some matters to discuss with Perfected Xuanchen, so I shall bid you farewell." Ye Qingtang looked at Yan Shu and Ji Yixuan. With that, she vanished on the spot.

At that moment, in the great hall, Perfected Xuanchen was facing pressure from the Full Moon Peak Master and the other two major Peak Masters. He was enraged but helpless.

"Hmph, Perfected Xuanchen, as Valley Master of Falling Sky Valley, you have allowed your disciple to act wildly and offended the disciples of the Peerless School. This matter is closely related to you. Now, you should hand Ye Chen over or give up your position as Valley Master!"

Full Moon Peak Master, Xuanyuan Yi looked at the silent Perfected Xuanchen and spoke coldly.

The Masters of the other two major peaks, Cut Water Peak and Blue Cloud Peak, immediately spoke up to agree.

"Haha, Perfected Xuanchen, I can tell that you have reached the end of your time as Valley Master of Falling Sky Valley. Within three days, you must hand Ye Chen over to the Peerless School; otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!" The warden of the Peerless School shouted coldly.

"What arrogance."

A cold shout suddenly reached everyone's ears.

The next second, Ye Qingtang entered and swiftly stepped into the great hall.

When they saw Ye Qingtang's sudden arrival, the three major Peak Masters and the warden of the Peerless School all frowned.

Why was this Yang Lord everywhere? These were the internal affairs of the Falling Sky Valley. What business was it of hers!

1075 Ye Chen

"Haha, I'm afraid this is none of your business."

The warden of the Peerless School looked at Ye Qingtang somewhat impatiently.

"Really…"

The corners of Ye Qingtang's mouth curved up slightly. She shielded her face with her sleeve. Within the span of ten breaths, her beautiful young girlish face quickly transformed into that of a handsome young man.

And this young man was the Ye Chen that they were looking for just now!

A half-smile hung on Ye Qingtang's lips.

Her gaze passed over everyone as she said, "I'm Ye Chen… are you looking for me?"

"You… are Ye Chen?!"

Perfected Xuanchen stared at his own disciple, completely shocked and somewhat disbelieving.

Ye Chen was actually a girl… and a Yang Lord?! How was that possible!

"You are Ye Chen!"

The Full Moon Peak Master, Xuanyuan Yi, looked at Ye Qingtang in shock and disbelief.

"Xuanyuan Yi, your grandson Xuanyuan Lie has already died. As a grandfather, aren't you afraid that your grandson will be lonely? Shouldn't you keep him company?" Ye Qingtang lifted her eyes slightly and glanced at the Full Moon Peak Master, Xuanyuan Yi, from the corners of her eyes.

"What did you say!"

Xuanyuan Yi's expression was one of shock.

"Come here!" Ye Qingtang exclaimed.

A cold light suddenly flashed across Ye Qingtang's smiling eyes. Without giving Xuanyuan Yi a chance to open his mouth, she suddenly grasped his neck and choked him.

At that moment, Xuanyuan Yi was in Ye Qingtang's grasp and was unable to struggle. His body left the ground as Ye Qingtang lifted him up into the air.

"Have… have mercy…" Xuanyuan Yi's face was flushed as he stared at Ye Qingtang in terror.

"Mercy?"

When she heard Xuanyuan Yi's plea, the smile lurking at the corners of Ye Qingtang's mouth seemed to deepen.

When she had left the Falling Sky Valley earlier, Xuanyuan Yi had continually pursued her. Had he shown any sign of mercy?!

"If you want mercy, you better ask for it in hell…" Ye Qingtang said blandly.

In the next second, there was a "snap". Without giving Xuanyuan Yi a chance to speak, Ye Qingtang had swiftly twisted Xuanyuan Yi's neck.

Ye Qingtang glanced at the lifeless Xuanyuan Yi and then casually threw the body at the feet of the warden from the Peerless School.

"You…"

The envoy from the Peerless School was both shocked and angry. He glared at Ye Qingtang.

"What's the matter? Doesn't your Peerless School want to capture and question me?" Ye Qingtang looked at the Peerless School warden. "I'm here now. Why don't you act?"

However, the Peerless School warden did not dare to say anything. He only clenched his fists, speechless.

Their pride in being a warden of the Peerless School made them unable to humble themselves. Although the person before him had injured disciples of the Peerless School, she was also a genuine Yang Lord…

If they started a fight with a Yang Lord as Ye Qingtang had suggested, their fate would probably be the same as that of the Full Moon Peak Master, Xuanyuan Yi…

"Ye Chen… we represent the Peerless School… you previously injured some disciples of the Peerless School. You should… give an account!" The warden of the Peerless School looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

"An account?" Ye Qingtang's gaze swept across the warden of the Peerless School. Her face showed no expression. "I have already given you an account. I am here now. You can act whenever you want."

"You…"

The Peerless School warden gritted his teeth in anger but was unable to argue.

"Ye Chen… it is true that you are a Yang Lord. But you are not showing the Peerless School any respect at all!" The Peerless School warden said.

1076 Am I Afraid?

"Peerless School?" When she heard that, Ye Qingtang's eyelids drooped. The corners of her mouth curved in a small smile. "What about Peerless School? I don't even care about the Formidable Heavens Dynasty's Beiming Manor. There are two Beiming Manor Yang Lords out to kill me, but I have already killed one of them. I'm not even afraid of the Beiming Manor, so why should I be afraid of the Peerless School?"

"You… killed a Yang Lord from the Beiming Manor?!"

The Peerless School warden was taken aback by Ye Qingtang's words.

In this mainland, the three biggest powers each had four Yang Lords. This kept things in balance so that they were on equal footing. But if one of the powers lost a Yang Lord, then the balance of power among the three would be lost… Either the Peerless School or the Phantom Valley could attack the power that had lost a Yang Lord. The outcome of a fight between four Yang Lords and three Yang Lords could be imagined.

"I still have some internal matters to settle in the Falling Sky Valley today. I don't have time to bandy words with you. Scram!" The warmth in Ye Qingtang's eyes had swiftly faded.

The warden of the Peerless School just needed to bring back the news that the Beiming Manor had lost a Yang Lord.

"Humph!"

The Peerless School warden scoffed coldly. He immediately rose and led the Peerless School disciples out of the great hall and into the Falling Sky Valley without a backward glance.

As the Peerless School warden left, Ye Qingtang's gaze fell on the two Peak Masters of Cut Water Peak and Blue Cloud Peak.

At that moment, the two Peak Masters were struck dumb. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Who would have thought that Perfected Xuanchen's disciple, Ye Chen, had now… appeared in the Falling Sky Valley as a Yang Lord? If they had known about this, they would never have dared to collude with Full Moon Peak.

"From now on, you are stripped of your positions as Masters of Blue Cloud Peak and Cut Water Peak. You are expelled from Falling Sky Valley." Ye Qingtang looked at them and said calmly.

"You… why…"

The two of them were shocked.

"Why?" Ye Qingtang's expression seemed imbued with a trace of bone-chilling frost. Her gaze swept over them inch by inch. "You colluded with the Full Moon Peak to do such underhanded things. Have you forgotten about them? You have better vanish forever from my sight before I change my mind. I won't repeat myself."

When they heard Ye Qingtang's words, the Blue Cloud Peak and Cut Water Peak Masters were so frightened that they were soaked in cold sweat. They did not dare to speak anymore and immediately got up. They only wished they had been born with a few more legs. They swiftly fled and vanished without a trace.

It was all too easy for a Yang Lord to kill martial cultivators of their level. With just a thought, they could be smashed into smithereens and transformed into nothingness.

As she looked at the two of them flee, Ye Qingtang resumed her original appearance. She looked at the shocked Perfected Xuanchen, and the sharp look in her eyes completely faded and was replaced with gentle amusement.

"Master, are you pleased with this conclusion?"

"Are you… really Ye Chen?!"

Perfected Xuanchen felt as if he was in a dream. He could not imagine how Ye Chen, who was clearly a male, could now become a female, especially one with terrifying powers of the cultivation of a Yang Lord…

"Master, I was originally a girl, but when I first came to Falling Sky Valley, I had no choice but to present myself to others as Ye Chen," explained Ye Qingtang.

"I see…"

When Perfected Xuanchen heard Ye Qingtang's explanation, he realized that Ye Chen was Ye Qingtang's false name.

"So… what is your real name?" Perfected Xuanchen asked Ye Qingtang.

"Ye Qingtang." She answered honestly.

1077 The Old Valley Master

"Ye Qingtang… the girl who obtained the Fiendcelestial Beast cub… in the Hell of Avicinaraka?" Perfected Xuanchen was shocked.

"Yes." Ye Qingtang nodded.

"In that case, I understand…" Perfected Xuanchen nodded.

Ye Qingtang had obtained a young Fiendcelestial Beast in the Hell of Avicinaraka. This news had spread throughout this mainland. If Ye Qingtang had not disguised herself and completely changed her appearance, she would not have lived until today.

However, before Perfected Xuanchen could continue speaking, exclamations could be heard from outside the great hall.

Ye Qingtang and Perfected Xuanchen immediately walked out of the great hall together.

Outside the great hall stood a white-robed old man. On the ground lay dozens of corpses.

One of the corpses was the Peerless School warden. The Peak Masters of Cut Water Peak and Blue Cloud Peak were also there.

Perfected Xuanchen looked in surprise at the white-robed old man who was standing nearby. "Old Valley Master… you…"

"Old Valley Master?"

Ye Qingtang looked thoughtful when she heard Perfected Xuanchen's words.

Previously, in the Formidable Heavens Dynasty, it seemed that Ji Yixuan was looking for the Regeneration Stone to allow the Old Valley Master to continue living… and the Old Valley Master had been seriously injured by the Peerless School Warden.

Perfected Xuanchen looked in shock at the old man who was standing nearby. Although the Old Valley Master had obtained the Regeneration Stone and managed to survive, he had not been able to recover from his severe injuries and had been recuperating behind closed doors. What had caused him to leave his seclusion to return to the Falling Sky Valley?

"Old Valley Master, are you injuries better?" Perfected Xuanchen asked the old man.

When she saw that Perfected Xuanchen was about to walk over to the old man, Ye Qingtang caught hold of him.

This old man's aura was rather peculiar, and the bodies on the ground were inexplicable.

Ye Qingtang looked at the Old Valley Master pointedly and said, "Old Valley Master… did you kill the Peerless School warden and these other people?"

"Old Valley Master killed them!" One of the Falling Sky Valley disciples hurriedly nodded.

The Old Valley Master looked at Ye Qingtang and studied her for a moment before a strange smile lit his face. "Peak of the Seventh Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord… Not bad, not bad at all."

After he had spoken, the old man ignored Ye Qingtang and the others. A pitch-black pearl surfaced on his brow.

Under the glow from the black pearl on the old man's brow, the Peerless School warden and the dozens of other corpses transformed into black mist and instantly rushed into the black pearl.

"This…"

When Perfected Xuanchen saw the Old Valley Master's appearance, he was shocked and was somewhat disbelieving.

The Old Valley Master looked like he had suffered from Qi Deviation during his recuperation or had cultivated some kind of sinister power…

However, the Old Valley Master ignored Perfected Xuanchen. He looked towards the void and sighed softly. "Um… time is running out…"

"Time is running out?" Perfected Xuanchen was taken aback when he heard that. He involuntarily asked, "In what way are you short of time?"

Ye Qingtang followed the Old Valley Master's gaze, and after a moment, she also frowned slightly.

The Old Valley Master was studying the area in which the Dimension Wall had been smashed… as if the Old Valley Master knew something.

"You, come here."

The Old Valley Master gestured slightly with his right arm. The Peak Masters of the other twelve peaks instantly had their necks broken by the Old Valley Master.

The next moment, the ground was littered with numerous corpses.

1078 The Conspiracy

"Old Valley Master, what are you doing?!"

Perfected Xuanchen was completely dumbfounded upon witnessing the situation. His face was full of disbelief.

The old Valley Master killed a few Peak Masters instantly.

"Master, don't go."

Ye Qingtang stretched her hand out and pulled Perfected Xuanchen back to prevent him from getting near the old Valley Master.

"Qingtang, did the old Valley Master enter the Qi Deviation during his treatment!" Perfected Xuanchen looked towards Ye Qingtang immediately.

Ye Qingtang squinted her eyes and scanned through the elder in front of her.

Ye Qingtang pulled back her sight and shook her head towards Perfected Xuanchen. She frowned and said, "Master, I don't think that the old Valley Master… entered the Qi Deviation."

When a cultivator entered the Qi Deviation, his own injuries would only get worse. However, based on the old Valley Master's current situation, he was full of energy and vitality with no trace of injury at all.

Furthermore, if a cultivator entered the Qi Deviation, his martial ability would not increase exponentially. The aura that the old Valley Master revealed just now let Ye Qingtang feel threatened as well…

According to her knowledge, the old Valley Master's martial ability was just a normal Yang Lord at his peak time.

"Not the Qi Deviation…" Perfected Xuanchen was shocked. If it was not because of the Qi Deviation, what made the old Valley Master like that now?!

The few Peak Masters' corpses turned into a ball of black fog under the influence of the black pearl at his glabella and were absorbed by the pearl.

"This is weird… Why is the Dimension Wall broken…" The old Valley Master murmured to himself after absorbing the bodies of the few Peak Master.

The old Valley Master's murmur entered Ye Qingtang's ears.

At the same time, a black glint radiated out from the old Valley Master's glabella and surrounded the enter Nine Nights Dynasty.

"It should be enough to use all living creatures in the Nine Nights Dynasty as the price…" The old Valley Master said softly.

Everyone in the Falling Sky Valley froze on the spot and could not believe what was happening.

The black light contained unimaginable power that could destroy everything.

"Come here."

The old Valley Master looked at some senior members and disciples of the Falling Sky Valley and smiled. In the next second, everyone was killed with his invisible power.

"Stop!" Perfected Xuanchen shouted.

The old Valley Master sized up Perfected Xuanchen.

"Old Valley Master, what… what are you doing?!" Perfected Xuanchen's voice quivered.

The old Valley Master laughed softly and said, "Xuanchen, you're my favorite person in the entire Falling Sky Valley… If not, I would not ask you to replace the position as the Valley Master back then. However, I'm back now, and you should die in honor."

The old Valley Master lifted his arm and tried to grab Perfected Xuanchen after he finished his words.

Ye Qingtang immediately blocked Perfected Xuanchen, and her divine power of a Yang Lord exploded out from her body to suppress the old Valley Master's terrifying power.

"Hehe… A Yang Lord at such a young age… You're quite extraordinary, even at my age. However, you don't need to rush. It'll be your turn after I kill everyone else." The old Valley Master looked at Ye Qingtang and smiled.

"Your age…" Ye Qingtang frowned slightly when she heard the old Valley Master's words. He was not as simple as how he appeared…

1079 Ten Thousand Years

"Old Valley Master of the Falling Sky Valley… what's the relationship between you and the extraordinary lady?" Ye Qingtang stared at the old Valley Master and contemplated.

"The extraordinary lady?" The old Valley Master was slightly stunned after hearing Ye Qingtang's words.

"The extraordinary lady who used her Spiritual Abode to create this mainland," Ye Qingtang said coldly.

The old Valley Master was taken aback and stared at Ye Qingtang in surprise.

After a while, the old Valley Master said, "How did you know about that?"

"You don't need to know about that." Ye Qingtang replied coldly.

The old Valley Master's response proved that Ye Qingtang's guess was correct. The old Valley Master must be related to the extraordinary lady who created the mainland.

"You know quite a lot based on your age. The extraordinary lady you mentioned… was regarded as a God by us. After she came to the mainland, she led us to the magnificent martial civilization… She used her own Spiritual Abode to create the land for us…"

The elder was immersed in deep thought as if he had returned to that age.

"However, things did not go well… Her divine power was used up as she lost her Spiritual Abode… However, without her divine power, she still enjoyed our worship and respect… She really treated herself as a God… How funny was that hahaha…" The old Valley Master's expression was getting a little insane.

Ye Qingtang was slightly stunned after hearing his explanation. The extraordinary lady had passed away around ten thousand years ago. According to the old Valley Master's words, it seemed that he lived in the same age as the extraordinary lady and had even served her before…

Perfected Xuanchen and the rest all froze, stunned. None of them could understand the conversation between the old Valley Master and Ye Qingtang… Who was the extraordinary lady, what Spiritual Abode, God were they talking about…

Ye Qingtang looked at the old Valley Master coldly and said, "The extraordinary lady had passed away for around ten thousand years. It seemed that you lived in the same age as her."

"Hahaha… Young girl, you're very clever. No wonder you can become a Yang Lord at your age… I have lived for more than ten thousand years… I was the first Sect Master of Yunxiao Sect, and I created the Falling Sky Valley. I always change my identity every few hundred or thousand years."

Ye Qingtang's expression changed slightly as well after the old Valley Master finished his words.

The person in front of her… really had lived for ten thousand years!

"What a pity… there isn't enough spirit energy on this mainland. Furthermore, the extraordinary lady you mentioned used her remaining divine power as a curse to build the Dimension Wall after she passed away. The Dimension Wall could shield any outsiders and also prevent us from leaving this mainland… If not, I believe some of us would have become Emperor-level figures…" The old Valley Master sighed softly and helplessly.

Ye Qingtang did not know about the curse from the little white tiger.

Even the little white tiger might not know about that.

The old Valley Master was right. If it was not due to the power of the curse that prevented the group of ancient people from leaving the mainland, they all had the chance to become Emperor-level figures after living for ten thousand years…

"You… How did you manage to live so long…" Ye Qingtang frowned and asked.

1080 Eternity is Solitary 1

He had been living for more than ten thousand years. What kind of concept was that?!

Any cultivator who could live for ten thousand years could become an extremely powerful figure in the world. It was not impossible to even become an Emperor-level figure.

However, it was extremely difficult to live for ten thousand years.

Ye Qingtang stared at the old Valley Master in front of her and could not figure out how he managed to live for so long.

The old Valley Master heard the number and was embedded in memories. It seemed like he was trying to chase his past.

"Ten thousand years…" The old Valley Master sighed after a long while.

"I have lived… for too long. I almost forget about it…"

The old Valley Master swept his eyes across Ye Qingtang. He shook his head slightly and sighed.

"The ancient people consumed the extraordinary lady's body parts after killing her… I ate her heart… And I have no idea why her heart can give me eternal life…"

The old Valley Master did not avoid talking about the things that happened ten thousand years ago. However, when he mentioned about consuming the body parts, an unusual look appeared in his eyes.

"I see…" Ye Qingtang frowned.

The extraordinary lady ten thousand years ago was really close to a god…

No one would expect that her heart would give eternal life.

However…

The extraordinary lady was too merciful. If not, she would not end up with such a consequence.

She sacrificed everything she had and nurtured a batch of ungrateful people.

"Hehe… I have not been saying these things for a long period of time… Not many from my age are still alive now…" The old Valley Master looked at Ye Qingtang and smiled as he shook his head.

Ye Qingtang stared at the old Valley Master. She could feel a sense of sadness and hopelessness in his eyes when he talked about these things.

However, the expression disappeared after a second. It was hard to catch that if she did not pay attention.

Ye Qingtang understood the whole image from the old Valley Master's words.

The old Valley Master of Falling Sky Valley should be an ancient person from ten thousand years ago.

After killing the extraordinary lady, the old Valley Master ate her heart and had eternal life.

However, the curse left by the extraordinary lady prevented the ancient people of that age from leaving this mainland.

The only way to break the curse was to get the extraordinary lady's Spiritual Abode.

If the old Valley Master got his hand on the Spiritual Abode, he could break the curse and leave the mainland.

As long as he was able to leave the mainland, his power would increase exponentially with his ten thousand years of life…

The old Valley Master looked around, and a trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes. However, the hesitation disappeared immediately.

The old Valley Master raised his hand in the next second. A black glint exploded from the black pearl at his glabella and turned all corpses into black fog.

"Old Valley Master… What do you want!"

Perfected Xuanchen stared at the old Valley Master and shouted. An ominous feeling arose in his heart.

1081 Eternity is Solitary 2

"I need to get the Spiritual Abode… if I want to leave the mainland…" The old Valley Master stared at Perfected Xuanchen without any emotion.

He had to destroy this mainland in order to obtain the Spiritual Abode.

He needed to start from the Nine Nights Dynasty… to kill and destroy every living creature on this mainland.

Based on the old Valley Master's martial ability, it was not difficult for him to do so.

After thinking through what the old Valley Master was going to do, Ye Qingtang immediately jumped off the ground and pulled out the black-grade Regicide Sky Blade.

Her Divine Phoenix power exploded at the same time as well. A giant flame Phoenix appeared by her back. A soft roar appeared, seeming to be able to make the world tremble.

Swoosh!

Ye Qingtang waved her Regicide Sky Blade and slashed towards the old Valley Master.

She did not care what thoughts the old Valley Master had. There were still her family and friends on this mainland. She would not allow anyone to destroy that.

However…

The old Valley Master stood there without any intention to dodge.

Clank!

Under everyone's gaze, the instant where Ye Qingtang slashed her sword down, the old Valley Master raised his right arm slightly. He used two fingers and caught Ye Qingtang's Regicide Sky Blade.

Ye Qingtang frowned as her sword was held by the old Village Master. A trace of surprise appeared in her eyes.

An image of Yin Yang intersecting with the sun and moon appeared behind the old Valley Master. A remote power that broke through the sky landed.

Everyone in the Falling Sky Valley froze on the spot. Ye Qingtang was astonished as she saw the Yin Yang and the sun with the moon.

"Yin Yang Perfected Lord… Tenth Heaven!"

Ye Qingtang widened her eyes and stared at the image behind the old Valley Master.

As all had known, Yin Yang Perfected Lord was classified into ten heavens.

However, the Genth Heaven had become a legend. It was extremely hard to find someone at the Ninth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

After entering the Eighth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord level, one would encounter the bottleneck. It was rare to hear any cultivator that was able to enter the Ninth Heaven for the past thousands of years. Almost all cultivators started to charge towards Arcane Supremacy after reaching the Eighth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord…

In Ye Qingtang's previous life, after reaching the peak of the Eighth Heaven, she wanted to explore the legendary level and charge towards the Ninth Heaven. However, she found no clue in the next three years. It seemed that there were no Ninth and Tenth Heaven at all…

Ye Qingtang could not help but break through the Eighth Heaven and enter the Arcane Supremacy.

After living for two lives, this was the first time she saw the legendary Tenth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord…

"Indeed, you're very talented. A Yang Lord at such a young age." The old Valley Master looked up at Ye Qingtang and murmured.

"You remind me of my disciple… The little guy was only eight or nine years old, and he was a Heavenly Venerate…" The old Valley Master frowned as he recalled something.

Heavenly Venerate… His disciple?!

Ye Qingtang looked at the old Valley Master in shock.

Before she could say anything, the old Valley Master lifted his right arm. Ye Qingtang was then thrown out by a powerful and ineffable force.

1082 Eternity is Solitary 3

"There is no time left…"

The old Valley Master sighed softly. The black pearl at his glabella flew towards the sky. Almost instantly, a black fog exploded and surrounded the entire Nine Nights Dynasty in darkness.

Ye Qingtang steadied herself. She stared at the old Valley Master and asked.

"You killed a selfless lady for your own greed… Now, you want to use all living creatures' lives on the mainland as your stepping stone to break the curse?!"

Ye Qingtang would not call herself a kind person. However, she could not accept the fact that he was going to kill everyone.

After hearing Ye Qingtang's words, the old Valley Master remained silent. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Ye Qingtang. "I have given too much time to this mainland… However, the Dimension Wall is broken… I believe that there will be a lot of powerful people coming from elsewhere soon to take the Spiritual Abode. Why not just give it to me…"

Ye Qingtang stared at the old Valley Master, who seemed to be very determined. There was no trace of hesitation.

No matter how he tried to explain himself, he could never erase the crimes he had committed due to his selfishness.

"When the snow fell, the Divine King appeared. When he raised his head, he saw the most beautiful spirit. However, time flies, and hair whitened almost instantly…" The old Valley Master sighed with a complex expression.

The old Valley Master's sigh and murmur landed into Ye Qingtang's ears.

She was slightly stunned.

Divine King Luo Xue?!

Before the mainland was formed ten thousand years ago, there was a hero appeared after a snowstorm. He was known as the Divine King Luo Xue…

The Divine King Luo Xue led ancient people to form tribes and battled everywhere. His story was written in an enclosed historical record.

"You are… Divine King Luo Xue?!" Ye Qingtang stared at the old Valley Master in surprise.

The old Valley Master's body trembled slightly.

His subtle reaction was all captured by Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang felt a mixed chain of emotions.

If her assumption was correct, the old Valley Master was the Divine King Luo Xue from ten thousand years ago!

According to the legend, Divine King Luo Xue lived together with a demon ten thousand years ago. In one battle against a strong enemy, he lost, and he used his life to cover for the demon for it to escape. However, the demon was not willing to leave and was willing to die together with him.

The Divine King Luo Xue in the legend cared for everything, even for a demon.

Ye Qingtang could not believe that the person in front of her who betrayed the extraordinary lady, ate her heart, and wished to kill everyone here as his stepping stone would be the Divine King Luo Xue in the legends, the one that was so selfless and kind.

Either the Divine King Luo Xue was lying, or the historical record was wrong.

However, Ye Qingtang was not sure of the truth.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds. Blood-red streaks of lightning appeared in the clouds and were about to attack everyone like a beast.

Swoosh!

In the next second, the blood-red streaks of lightning stroke towards the old Valley Master from mid-air.

Ye Qingtang was shocked. The blood-red streaks of lightning contained enormous power of the sky!

Ye Qingtang could still remember how she encountered the Heavenly Tribulation when she was about to charge towards the Holy Venerate. She almost died under the Heavenly Tribulation. Eventually, she managed to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation and became a Holy Venerate.

1083 Divine King Luo Xue 1

The old Valley Master did not have any signs of advancing, but why was there a blood-colored Heavenly Tribulation falling from the sky?!

"Haha… Hahahaha!!"

Although there were blood-colored streaks of lightning raining down, the old Valley Master was laughing heartily. With one hand controlling Heaven and Earth and the other controlling the sun and the moon, he received the streaks of lightning like a true god without any trace of fear.

Ye Qingtang was taken aback by the sight.

Who in this world could face the Heavenly Tribulation with smiles? It was most likely only Divine King Luo Xue!

Clank!

A black saber appeared in Divine King Luo Xue's hand.

"Old friend… It's been long…"

The old Valley Master looked at the black saber in his hand and chuckled.

Before everyone's shocked eyes, a clear voice sounded from the black saber. "Divine King Luo Xue… I have been sealed by you for thousands of years… I never thought that you would actually bring me out today…"

"Hahaha. Meeting an old friend again. How great!" The old Valley Master laughed. The smile on his face completely contrasted that of a serious character.

"The Heavenly Tribulation is here. Fight!" The saber shouted.

In the next second, the old Valley Master rushed to the sky, and the saber swept across the blood-colored streaks of lightning.

Boom! Boom!

There was a loud eruption when the black saber faced the Heavenly Tribulation as though the sky was about to explode.

"Regicide Sky Blade?!"

Ye Qingtang stared at the sword in the old Valley Master's hand, and her pupils dilated slightly.

The longsword in the old Valley Master's hand was actually the genuine Regicide Sky Blade!

Although Ye Qingtang's black-grade weapon was also named the Regicide Sky Blade, it was an imitation of the Heaven-level divine weapon, Regicide Sky Blade… The weapon in Divine King Luo Xue's hand was the true Heaven-level divine weapon… Regicide Sky Blade!

At this instant, Ye Qingtang did not even have time to think. The Regicide Sky Blade smashed the blood-colored streaks of lightning violently, and the might of the Heavenly Tribulation swept throughout the place as though it wanted to extinguish every being in the world.

Very quickly, the first Heavenly Tribulation was broken through. Divine King Luo Xue's Heaven-level divine weapon pointed to the sky proudly as though it had returned to millions of years ago—an era which it belonged to.

"Old friend…"

The clear spirit from the Regicide Sky Blade sounded. "The road that you chose… Isn't the price a little too huge…"

"Price…"

Divine King Luo Xue was expressionless, and he seemed to be in thought.

After so many years, he had almost forgotten his initial thinking and who he exactly was…

"I don't wish to become eternal…" Divine King Luo Xue mumbled. "Eternity… is lonely…"

"This road… is too difficult. If you really swallowed her heart back then, would you still need to be afraid of the curse? You could have left this mainland a long time ago… and became a true legend… Yet, you chose the toughest road… After ten thousand years, do you… still love her…" A soft sigh emitted from the Regicide Sky Blade.

However, Divine King Luo Xue did not say anything and responded with silence.

"Initially, she remained in this mainland because of you, but you did not accept her feelings… and persuaded her to leave. It seems that you already knew the awful nature of those people. It's just a pity that she was unwilling to leave… until when her temple was destroyed and faith was tarnished… You appeared and disguised yourself as those people to split her flesh. You brought her heart away and stored it in your body, bearing her curse of anger… but this ruined your entire life… Was this really worth it?" The Regicide Sky Blade said.

"You're unwilling to admit that you are Divine King Luo Xue… as you're afraid of tainting that name… In these ten thousand years, you pretended to be a wicked person… But if you're really wicked, you could have destroyed this mainland a long time ago with your determination. I can already feel that your heart was bleeding when you killed one Falling Sky Valley disciple… You wish to leave with her heart. You think that by keeping her heart as a whole, there will always be a chance to revive her… However… Ten thousand years have passed, and her soul has already disappeared… Are you still going to avoid this problem? Why are you not willing to face reality?"

The Regicide Sky Blade's words knocked onto Divine King Luo Xue's heart, and his expression changed.

Only the Regicide Sky Blade that had been by Divine King Luo Xue's side knew what exactly happened ten thousand years ago…

No one knew the weight of this issue.

"Yeah… Ten thousand years have passed…" Divine King Luo Xue mumbled.

"You're afraid that the Dimension Wall breaks… You're even more afraid that the powerful figures from the outside world will come to this mainland and take her Spiritual Abode away. Once that happens, your curse will never be removed, you cannot leave with her heart, and she will not have any chance to revive. Ultimately, you're just deceiving yourself and others. Even if you can leave this mainland, she is still unable to be revived… Old friend, wake up…" Regicide Sky Blade sighed.

For that overly-compassionate extraordinary lady, the once unique and unrivaled Divine King Luo Xue was now…

Boom!

Suddenly, blood-colored streaks of lightning appeared once again.

Bolts of lightning filled the sky aggressively.

"This Heavenly Tribulation array formation is laid by those people, and its might is no weaker than a real Heavenly Tribulation. As long as you intend to leave, the array formation will be activated until you're completely dead… Old friend, I am with you," said the Regicide Sky Blade.

"Haha, great… Old friend, what do I have to fear with you here?!"

Divine King Luo Xue laughed aloud, still jovial even when facing the terrifying force of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Boom!

Boom!

BOOM BOOM!!

In the next second, several thick bolts of lightning struck down at Divine King Luo Xue.

With the Regicide Sky Blade in hand, Divine King Luo Xue stood in the air silently in superiority, but his figure was extremely lonely.

Ten thousand years ago, he had an excellent reputation; now, all that was known was his infamy…

Ten thousand years ago, who did not recognize Divine King Luo Xue?!

Ten thousand years later, who knew about Divine King Luo Xue?!

Divine King Luo Xue, who was forgotten and abandoned by everyone, wielded the Regicide Sky Blade once again and fought against the Heavens.

Swoosh!

A black sword glint opposed the blood-red bolts of lightning directly.

Boom!

The sword glint broke after being unable to block the heavenly might. Divine King was heavily injured and fell from the sky.

However, he never landed on the ground. With a laugh, he charged upward to the sky once again and received the blow.

At this instant, Ye Qingtang was shaken as she looked at the figure that remained still almost eternally.

She heard everything that the Regicide Sky Blade had said just now.

The truth that no one knew of shocked her.

She originally thought that he was like those others from ten thousand years ago, who turned their backs on that extraordinary lady to gain more power. Yet unexpectedly…

What kind of person was Divine King Luo Xue?

And what was his relationship with the extraordinary lady…

1085 Divine King Luo Xue 3

Why did he rather bear the endless infamy and tell the world about all his evil deeds—tearing down the palace and destroying the faith—when all he wanted was to protect the extraordinary lady's heart…

An originally compassionate man eventually did not hesitate to slaughter living beings and wanted to leave this mainland with that extraordinary lady's heart.

The force of the heavenly might was increasingly frightening, making it seem as though all the gods personally brought the calamities to the people.

The scary array formation force from ten thousand years ago was still extremely terrifying when appearing now!

What was sealed in the array formation was the true force of the Heavenly Tribulation and the fury of the heavenly might.

Bolts and bolts of blood-colored lightning were destroyed by Divine King Luo Xue, and even more heavenly might exploded on Divine King Luo Xue's body.

Currently, Divine King Luo Xue's body was already covered by fresh blood, but the heroic and heart-wrenching laughter echoed continuously.

However, at this very instant, a few gold carriages appeared in the sky not far away. Several huge demons pulled the gold carriages and circled around the sky.

"Divine King Luo Xue indeed wishes to leave this mainland to revive that woman. If that woman is revived, wouldn't we definitely die?"

A deep voice sounded from one of the gold carriages.

"Haha… It's fortunate that we foresaw this and hid an ancient array formation on Divine King Luo Xue's body. Once he wishes to obtain the Spiritual Abode and leave this mainland, the ancient array formation will be activated, and he will definitely die."

Ye Qingtang's eyes were on those gold carriages right now. Once she saw the symbol on those gold carriages, she was slightly taken aback.

"The hidden ancient clan?!"

The historical records of this mainland once documented that somewhere between the clouds and mountains, there existed a hidden ancient clan that was shut away from the world, and its symbol was exactly the same as the one one the gold carriage.

There were plenty of rumors regarding those ancient clans in this world but…

In her previous life, Ye Qingtang had never seen a single hidden ancient clan even when she left this mainland.

She originally thought that the existence of the hidden ancient clan was merely a random record and not the truth or that perhaps those ancient clans had already long passed away over time.

Thus, Ye Qingtang used the name of the hidden ancient clan to deceive Peerless School and the few Peak Masters of Falling Sky Valley.

But it turned out that…

The hidden ancient clan actually existed in this mainland!

Ye Qingtang narrowed her eyes at those gold carriages.

She did not know why the hidden ancient clan suddenly appeared and came here.

But for some reason, Ye Qingtang faintly sensed that the appearance of these hidden ancient clans was perhaps related to Divine King Luo Xue.

Boom!

The blood-colored lightning rained down non-stop, and the force of the heavenly might was difficult to block.

Divine King Luo Xue was eventually unable to block the frightening attack of the Heavenly Tribulation, and his body fell from the sky.

"Old Valley Master!"

Seeing that Divine King Luo Xue's body fell, Perfected Xuanchen and the other Falling Sky Valley masses were sorrowful.

Although no one knew what exactly happened to the old Valley Master's body, most of them at the scene would already have died without him.

The old Valley Master once blocked many disasters and saved the lives of numerous Falling Sky Valley members… All of this was inexplicable.

Divine King Luo Xue's consciousness was gradually blurred, and his tight grip on the Regicide Sky Blade slowly loosened. The Regicide Sky Blade sighed. "Old friend… Dignified Divine King Luo Xue, is it the end today… Your dream is not yet fulfilled… Ending like this… Is it a pity…"

1086 Is It A Pity? 1

"Is it a pity…"

Divine King Luo Xue closed his eyes, but his lips tugged up slightly into a heart-wrenching smile.

…

Ten thousand years ago, between the clouds and mountains, the flowers were in full bloom. There were vibrant blooms, chirping of birds, natural wind, and fluffy clouds at the mountain ranges.

A man in snow-white clothes with outstanding looks was walking.

"You are Divine King Luo Xue… I am You Yun from the Central Mainland. I like you."

It was as though that lady walked out from a painting; she was so beautiful that one could not bear to touch her.

Divine King Luo Xue's heart raced as he looked at that alluring face.

Many seasons later, the lady became a respected goddess of the people, and together with Divine King Luo Xue, they led the masses toward a brighter future.

However, years later, the lady's divine powers were slowly bled dry.

As the lady's divine powers were exhausted, the world was filled with abomination.

The ancient people smashed the lady's statue, destroyed the temple, and tainted the faith with resentment; it was a dark era.

"I want her heart."

In the temple, Divine King Luo Xue wielded the Regicide Sky Blade and killed the ancient people like a madman, making them pay with their lives.

However, in the end, a few elite family clan powerful figures appeared and joined forces to suppress Divine King Luo Xue.

"I want her heart. I want her heart…"

Ultimately, Divine King Luo Xue seemed to gave in and became a puppet without emotions in front of the millions of powerful figures. After swallowing the lady's heart, he left the temple and disappeared for ten thousand years.

"Yun…"

Suddenly, Divine King Luo Xue opened his eyes, and a surge of white-colored divine power emerged in his eyes and rushed into the clouds.

In Ye Qingtang's disbelief, an extraordinarily stunning lady appeared in the form of a virtual image. She stood beside Divine King Luo Xue protectively with an elegant smile on her face.

"Yun…"

Divine King Luo Xue used all his energy to touch the lady, but his palm passed through her body. It was mystifying.

Ye Qingtang looked at that perfect lady, perplexed.

At this moment, Ye Qingtang finally understood everything that the Regicide Sky Blade and Divine King Luo Xue were talking about.

That lady… should be the extraordinary lady from ten thousand years ago.

Ten thousand years ago, she once adored Divine King Luo Xue and was willing to remain on this mainland for him.

Divine King Luo Xue did not hesitate to bear the countless sins and conceal his identity for ten thousand years, just to leave this mainland with her heart and revive her once again.

Ten thousand years elapsed quickly…

In these ten thousand years, Divine King Luo Xue clung onto that last trace of hope and lived with the company of loneliness.

As for that extraordinary lady, even after she died, her obsession with her loved one was also hidden deep in her heart.

When Divine King Luo Xue encountered a calamity today, the obsession transformed into the appearance of that extraordinary lady when she was alive and appeared here to protect the most important person in her life…

As the lady waved her hand, the blood-colored lightning exploded and vanished without a trace.

"I am You Yun… from Central Mainland… Divine King Luo Xue, I like you."

The lady looked at Divine King Luo Xue as she continuously repeated the words she said when they first met.

"Yun…"

Divine King Luo Xue trembled. A strong man was, however, no longer able to bear the pain as he sobbed softly.

The scene from ten thousand years ago seemed to replay once again.

After the extraordinary lady died back then, Divine King Luo Xue brought her heart to a small tree, and no one knew the location of it.

Once the little tree grew into a tall tree of a towering multitude, Divine King Luo Xue's jet-black hair had already turned white.

He remained under the tree for thirty years.

Without knowledge of what year it was.

1087 Is It A Pity? 2

"Ancient clan…"

Ye Qingtang stared at the gold carriages that were being pulled by a few demons in the air, and her expression changed.

She never expected that the historical records were actually real and not a hoax.

No one knew how powerful the hidden ancient clan was, and the initial Blood Moon Sect probably could not be compared to it.

The development of the issue had way surpassed Ye Qingtang's expectations.

All of this was a chain reaction after the Dimension Wall broke.

Once the Dimension Wall broke, powerful figures from the outside world would come to snatch the Spiritual Abode. As such, Divine King Luo Xue made up his mind to destroy the world, and his determination activated the Heavenly Tribulation array formation that had been laid on him ten thousand years ago.

Ye Qingtang guessed that the hidden ancient clan was probably from the same generation as Divine King Luo Xue and was closely related to Divine King Luo Xue and the extraordinary lady…

The blood-colored lightning continued on, but the sky darkened. A small drizzle rained down in no time.

The virtual image of the lady remained beside Divine King Luo Xue, and her face was as calm still water.

Ten thousand years later, it was as though it was their first meeting ten thousand years ago.

Divine King Luo Xue stood up slowly and looked at the familiar yet foreign lady before him. After ten thousand years of longing, he could no longer hold himself back.

Divine King Luo Xue stretched a hand out towards the lady. His fingers trembled as he desperately wanted to hold onto something.

However, his five fingers passed through that lady's body. There was nothing other than air.

"Yun… It's me… Have you forgotten? In the Nine Lives Palace under the bodhi tree, you said that in this life… you will marry no one but me…" There was a trace of anticipation in Divine King Luo Xue's eyes as though he was hoping for You Yun to react.

Nonetheless, it was as if the lady did not hear anything as she merely guarded in front of Divine King Luo Xue to dispel the blood-colored streaks of lightning.

He clearly remembered what happened ten thousand years ago.

After You Yun died, Divine King Luo Xue came to a little tree with You Yun's heart. With that one sit, no one knew how many times the grass on the ground withered and the skies changed.

Day after day. Year after year.

Over the years… The little tree grew into a towering tree with fertile soil in the surroundings.

That day, Divine King Luo Xue's black hair turned into snow-white.

It was also that day where he buried all his love under the soil. From then on, he changed his appearance and concealed his identity. There no longer was a Divine King Luo Xue in the world anymore.

Now, ten thousand years later, Divine King Luo Xue finally met You Yun once again.

That lady who dared to love and hate and always told him that she would not marry anyone else but him.

That lady who exhausted all his divine power and scattered her love all over this mainland.

That lady whose temple was destroyed and flesh was distributed out to be eaten, who left the world with intense resentment.

In these ten thousand years, he tried his best to forget himself and You Yun and almost went insane.

At this moment, ten thousand years of hard work was so fragile.

Even for a lady who died from misery, her obsession at the very last moment was still Divine King Luo Xue.

Ten thousand years ago, Divine King Luo Xue faced a huge calamity, and You Yun's obsession appeared once again.

"You can't hear my voice… You can't hear my voice…"

As Divine King Luo Xue looked at You Yun, it was as though his heart was being ripped apart.

Luo Xue was already old, but You Yun was still like back then. Her face had never changed… It was so familiar… and so foreign.

1088 Is It A Pity? 3

Divine King Luo Xue called out to You Yun, but that lady who had been imprinted in his heart for ten thousand years did not respond; she was so near yet so far.

"Hahaha. Divine King Luo Xue! I already thought that you were harboring evil designs back then… In the end, you really betrayed us. You deserve it!"

Just when Divine King Luo Xue fixed his gaze on You Yun, several elderlies walked out of the gold carriage and floated in the air.

Divine King Luo Xue looked in the direction of the voice and saw those ancient clan powerful figures. His face turned extremely cold in an instant, and overpowering martial willpower rushed into the horizon.

"Ha. If you swallowed that dumb woman's heart from the start, you could have been free from the curse, went to the outside world, and still be that Divine King Luo Xue. Yet, look at you now. What are you?!"

A white-haired elderly stared at Divine King Luo Xue and scoffed.

This elderly similarly possessed the power to contend against the heavenly might.

"Yin Yang Tenth Heaven…"

Ye Qingtang sensed an enormous power around that elderly that was actually the same as that of Divine King Luo Xue: Yin Yang Tenth Heaven!

Yin Yang Tenth Heaven, which had disappeared from this world for a long time, actually appeared in two people today!

"Could it be that… in the era ten thousand years ago, these martial realms are not as simple as Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm…" Ye Qingtang frowned slightly as a perplexed expression emerged in her eyes.

No matter the ancient clan powerful figures or Divine King Luo Xue, although they had the power of a Yin Yang Tenth Heaven, their martial aura was no weaker than hers when she was a Holy Venerate back then!

It was also to say that the martial skills of these people were definitely not as simple as Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm…

In reality, just as Ye Qingtang had guessed, Divine King Luo Xue was unparalleled ten thousand years ago and might defeat even an Emperor-level cultivator ten thousand years later. He was known as a magnificent man who was just a small step away from a True God.

Ten thousand years ago, those powerful family clans were almost at the Emperor level.

Ten thousand years ago, an Emperor-level figure was nothing much as that was a generation where the Divine King was highly respected. There were traces of divinity everywhere, and the brilliance scattered by True Gods could be easily spotted.

Powerful figures only had one goal: to become a True God.

This lasted until the extraordinary lady arrived, made this entire mainland, and led the masses towards an even brighter martial route and the realm of a True God.

However, as the extraordinary lady's divine powers were drained, everything calmed down. The masses could not see any hope of becoming a God and thus vented all their anger on the extraordinary lady and shared her flesh to be consumed.

After the extraordinary lady died, her indignation turned into a curse. She cursed the ancient clan of this mainland to never attain liberation and to be unable to leave this mainland forever, and she dispersed all the spirit energy away from this mainland.

Without the support of spirit energy, the ancient clan members, who were once neck and neck with Emperor-level figures, were as good as having lost all their cultivation base and could only be stuck at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm forever. This was also the same for Divine King Luo Xue.

However, those hidden ancient clan members did not know how to break the extraordinary lady's curse though they were still the most powerful people of this mainland when they remained. They did not allow any member of the ancient clan to leave, especially Divine King Luo Xue.

If Divine King Luo Xue left this mainland and restored the power of a Divine King, everlasting perdition would greet them.

"Divine King Luo Xue, you are heavily injured by the Heavenly Tribulation today, and you will die here!"

1089 Obsession 1

The powerful figures in the carriage landed into Falling Sky Valley instantly.

"Yun… It's been ten thousand years… Seeing you today… you are still so beautiful… But I am old and feeble…" Divine King Luo Xue's eyes landed on the lady before him, and a sorrowful smile was seen on his face. He did not bother about those few hidden ancient clan members.

"It's a pity that you cannot hear me anymore now…" Divine King Luo Xue smiled gently and slowly picked up the Regicide Sky Blade beside him.

"Actually… I have always been avoiding… seeing you again… I have betrayed you… I always did not have the courage to face you again… Perhaps it is not a bad thing now that you can't hear me… Yun, I will avenge you."

Divine King Luo Xue stood up, and his martial willpower was like a strong wave that swept through the entire place and completely enshrouded it.

"Divine King Luo Xue, you're already severely injured by the Heavenly Tribulation. What threat can the current you still deal to us?" One ancient clan elderly sneered.

However, just as he finished his sentence, a strange black mist appeared around Divine King Luo Xue.

"From now on… In this world…" At this point, Divine King Luo Xue looked longingly at You Yun, who was not far away. Ultimately, determination filled his eyes as he said, "In this world, there will not be Divine King Luo Xue anymore…"

In a flash, the black mist turned into demonic air and combined with his martial willpower. An enormous pair of pitch-black wings tore Divine King Luo Xue's back apart.

At this moment, there was no emotion in his eyes, which seemed like a freezing abyss.

Like a supreme Demon Lord, he was to bring calamity to the entire world.

From now on… the dark night engulfed the air. There no longer was any white light or Luo Xue.

It was at this moment when the ancient clan members' expression changed drastically.

They finally recalled that ten thousand years ago before the name 'Divine King Luo Xue' was known, he was the first-generation Demon Lord…

"Divine King Luo Xue, are you insane! Turning into a demon forcefully will drain your body's vitality. From now on, you will lose yourself and eventually die too!!" That elderly immediately said in a frenzied rage.

Back then, Divine King Luo Xue was the first-generation Demon Lord and was known as the everlasting Degeneration Demon Lord. Afterward, Divine King Luo Xue realized that the path of the demons was not the right path and not what he was searching for. He then turned his demon breath into vitality and became the leader of the orthodox, Divine King Luo Xue.

However, as Divine King Luo Xue was demonized once again, he would drown in his mental demons forever, and everything that belonged to him would turn into evil spirits. Once his vitality was completely burned away, he would die!

At this instant, a black pearl in the air returned to Divine King Luo Xue's glabella once again. It was his third demon eye.

The appearance of the demon eye spelled the resurrection of the demon body; Divine King Luo Xue turned into a demon once again.

Black mist surged out from Demon Lord Luo Xue's demon eye.

It seemed as though there was a recovery of the traces of divinity at this instant.

All the people of Falling Sky Valley and even the Peerless School wardens and disciples, who were previously killed by Demon Lord Luo Xue, actually reappeared in Falling Sky Valley. The dead actually came back alive…

"I… I am… sorry…"

Demon Lord Luo Xue's ice-cold demon eye looked at the lady.

Swoosh!

In the next second, a frightening demonic air erupted instantly.

Demon Lord Luo Xue turned into a black shadow and appeared before the ancient clan figures in a few breaths' time.

"This is bad…"

The hidden ancient clan members' expression changed drastically.

Divine King Luo Xue turned into a demon and was burning his body's vitality. His power in this period of time would be magnified greatly, and it was unimaginable!

"Run!" The elderly shouted alarmingly.

However, just as this elderly spoke, Demon Lord Luo Xue's cold demon eye had already locked on to him, and the Regicide Sky Blade made a frightening roar.

Swoosh!

The Regicide Sky Blade in Demon Lord Luo Xue's hand slashed down.

Before the stunned masses, the Regicide Sky Blade actually chopped the elderly into half.

The enormous black wings behind Demon Lord Luo Xue flapped. He pulled the long, white hair of the elderly and lifted his upper body as he hovered in midair.

Hiss…!

Regardless of the Falling Sky Valley masses or the ancient clan people, everyone was dumbstruck by this scene. How tremendous was this force!!

Roar!

Demon Lord Luo Xue, who had been completely demonized, let out a shrilling demonic roar, and the elderly's upper body exploded into bloody fog immediately.

Boom, boom!!

Before waiting for Demon Lord Luo Xue to make another move, the Heavenly Tribulation above him seemed to be even more infuriated as a blood-colored streak of lightning emerged and struck towards Demon Lord Luo Xue.

Noticing the situation, Demon Lord Luo Xue howled in fury. He opened his mouth to spit an endless black flame that contained an unimaginable destructive force, making it seem as if he wanted to burn this entire world down.

As the blood-colored streak of lightning and black demonic flame crashed into each other, monstrous destructive energy exploded in the air.

Ye Qingtang looked up in the sky. The frightening force produced from the collision of the Heavenly Tribulation and Demon Lord Luo Xue shattered the Dimension Wall completely this time…

It was unpreventable and irrevocable.

In no time, the powerful figures from the outside world would officially invade in…

"Roar"!

At this instant, the remaining bolts of lightning struck Demon Lord Luo Xue's body aggressively.

Demon Lord Luo Xue roared in agony as he used his tough body to block the attack of the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Old Valley Master… Why are you… doing this!"

Tears flowed from Perfected Xuanchen's eyes like an unbroken stream as he looked at Demon Lord Luo Xue, who was no longer human.

Perfected Xuanchen was not foolish and had already understood what happened to the old Valley Master from the conversation before.

In order to save his daughter, Perfected Xuanchen once headed to the area between the clouds and mountains to search for the hidden ancient clan, which was documented in the historical records, and he wanted to find divine elixirs that could save his daughter's life.

However, Perfected Xuanchen never found any traces of the ancient clan and originally thought that the ancient clan did not even exist. Yet, today, they actually appeared in Falling Sky Valley, and what Perfected Xuanchen never expected was that there seemed to be a deep-seated hatred between the hidden ancient clan and the old Valley Master.

"Old Valley Master…"

The disciples of the twelve peaks were brimming with tears as they looked at the completely-demonized old Valley Master in the air.

How many young men and women in this world were deeply in love but unable to fulfill their passion and could only end their story on a heartbroken note?

…

"Quickly flee! Divine King Luo Xue is burning his vitality. His thinking and body are completely demonized already. He is unable to live for long. We just need to wait for him to die!"

One hidden ancient clan member shouted hurriedly.

At this instant, several hidden ancient clan elderlies fled towards the gold carriages.

1091 Obsession 3

However, a black destructive force shot out from Demon Lord Luo Xue's third demon eye.

In a split second, the destructive light pierced through those hidden clan figures who were escaping in a flurry, and they exploded into a bloody fog.

All of the ancient clan powerful figures present at the scene died.

After killing the ancient clan figures, Demon Lord Luo Xue gazed down at Falling Sky Valley. A glint flashed across his demon eyes as he opened his mouth to condense a black flame that was enough to destroy the entire Falling Sky Valley.

"Old Valley Master…!"

Perfected Xuanchen fell on his knees immediately, and tears streamed down his cheeks as he looked at Demon Lord Luo Xue.

A complicated expression emerged in Demon Lord Luo Xue's demon eye, and the black flame ultimately dispersed.

Just like that, Demon Lord Luo Xue flapped his wings and circled above Falling Sky Valley before looking at You Yun and flying toward her.

However, he stopped a few meters away from You Yun and did not dare to get close to her. All he did was watch her silently from nearby. One could faintly notice his confusion and struggle.

"Old friend… Let go… It's time to wake up from this dream…"

The Regicide Sky Blade sighed softly.

Persuading Demon Lord Luo Xue to part from You Yun… Perhaps only the Regicide Sky Blade itself knew how helpless it was.

Soon, it was already nightfall.

The force of the Heavenly Tribulation eventually faded. Bright stars dotted the sky.

The moonlight penetrated through the clouds and lit Falling Sky Valley up.

Demon Lord Luo Xue looked at You Yun without moving, fearful that he would disturb this lady, though he made a soft sound every now and then.

"He… can't hold on any longer…"

Ye Qingtang felt a bitter feeling as she looked at Demon Lord Luo Xue, who was standing a distance away from You Yun.

"Woo…"

Demon Lord Luo Xue made a soft noise once again as he looked at You Yun.

Ultimately, Demon Lord Luo Xue eventually finished burning the vitality in his body. That extremely big and tall frame fell from the sky, and his enormous wings no longer had the energy to flap.

This descent, intentionally or unintentionally, landed beside You Yun.

Laying on the cold ground, Demon Lord Luo Xue looked at the lady and opened his mouth, seeming to wish to say something, but he eventually did not utter a word.

Just as the misery of Divine King Luo Xue previously, she could no longer hear his voice.

Demon Lord Luo Xue stretched his demon palm out, wanting to touch You Yun.

"I… heard… your… voice…"

Suddenly, what shocked everyone was that You Yun seemed to have gained consciousness, and she looked at Demon Lord Luo Xue, who was sinking into death.

You Yun appeared bemused as she walked to Demon Lord Luo Xue and sat beside him.

"Why are you… so sorrowful… Are you very sad… But why is my heart aching so badly… Have we met… Where was it…" As You Yun spoke, her face was streaked with tears, though she was still as stunning and never aged.

Ye Qingtang looked at You Yun, the extraordinary lady from ten thousand years ago, in astonishment

It was clearly just a conception of her obsession, but it actually… had its own consciousness… Was this… a trace of divinity?!

At this moment, Demon Lord Luo Xue let out a grief-stricken cry. The vitality in his body was completely burned out, and the pain tortured him like no tomorrow.

Ye Qingtang did not know what kind of power allowed Demon Lord Luo Xue to hold on, but this was too cruel to him. Every time he breathed, it was the most miserable torture on earth…

1092 Obsession 4

"Old Valley Master… Don't… suffer anymore… Old Valley Master!"

Tears raced down Perfected Xuanchen's cheeks, and he kneeled and bowed to Demon Lord Luo Xue.

"Old… Old Valley Master!"

Falling Sky Valley's disciples, Peak Masters, and senior executives burst into tears, and they bowed to Demon Lord Luo Xue as well.

At this moment, Demon Lord Luo Xue was still persevering. He stretched his demon hand out and gently wiped the lady's tears away. However, his demon hand passed through the lady's body and could not hold onto her.

"Woo…"

Demon Lord Luo Xue sobbed softly.

Looking at this couple who had been separated for ten thousand years, Ye Qingtang looked down, and her heart weighed down as well.

In both lives, she did not know what love was, but what she witnessed today made her feel that love was deep and impactful…

At this moment, You Yun finally heard Demon Lord Luo Xue's voice.

However, Demon Lord Luo Xue could no longer speak and could only make soft whimpers like a wild beast. It was just that his demon eye seemed to want to say something.

"Old friend… Stop persevering already… Take it as I'm… begging you…" the Regicide Sky Blade said in a complicated tone.

Currently, probably no one other than Demon Lord Luo Xue and the Regicide Sky Blade knew the intensity of the pain that Demon Lord Luo Xue was bearing.

"She has already heard you… seen you… and known you…" Ye Qingtang said softly as she looked at Demon Lord Luo Xue.

Every breath that Divine King Luo Xue took was an excruciating torture. Without vitality, the torture was not just limited to his body but more so a misery from the soul.

In her previous life, Ye Qingtang had admiration for the Divine King Luo Xue, who was documented in the historical records. Today, she met him and even learned of the deep love between him and You Yun. Looking at how Divine King Luo Xue refused to give up and rather bear the agonizing pain, Ye Qingtang eventually could not hold back and said, "Divine King Luo Xue, she is already dead… don't obsess anymore…"

If You Yun were still alive, she probably would not be willing to see Divine King Luo Xue go through such torture.

Divine King Luo Xue had never betrayed You Yun.

Ye Qingtang's voice repeated in Demon Lord Luo Xue's mind over and over again.

"Woo…"

Demon Lord Luo Xue looked up at a bright star in the sky, but a woeful cry escaped him…

The day was replaced by night. As Demon Lord Luo Xue looked at the lady who gradually disappeared, he was in a state of calmness.

His demon eye was blurry while his demon palm was still up in the air, wanting to hold onto something which no longer existed.

"My heart… is aching so badly…"

Before You Yun disappeared completely, this sentence resounded for a long time.

Demon Lord Luo Xue's raised arms finally fell down powerlessly at this moment.

Ten thousand years ago, the man sat before a little tree for god knows how many years as he waited for the little tree to grow into a towering tree, for his jet-black hair to turn snow-white.

The man stood up slowly and buried all his love into the soil. From then on, he no longer mentioned it and sealed all of himself in this place.

Between the mountains and clouds.

That year, the flowers were in full bloom, and the forest was filled with the pleasant scent of flowers.

Birds chirped in harmony. The sunlight was just right.

Under the brilliant sunlight, the lady looked at him with certainty and declared that he would be hers.

The man's white shirt blew in the wind. He looked at the lady in confusion, subsequently shook his head, and left.

However, as the man turned around and left, his lips tugged up unknowingly. His heart that had been sealed for a long time, perhaps unbeknown to even himself, was melted by that lady's bright smile.

"I am You Yun…"

"I am Luo Xue…"

1093 Reincarnation of the Spiritual Abode 1

The stars shone brightly in the night sky.

Demon Lord Luo Xue was sprawled on the ground

Ten thousand years of waiting and persistence. He used his last trace of obsession to persist to the very last moment.

Yet at this moment…

He eventually died.

Boom, boom!!

As Demon Lord Luo Xue died, this mainland's Dimension Wall exploded into a million pieces instantly.

The last line of defense that protected this mainland was broken just like that.

Looking at the breathless Demon Lord Luo Xue, the entire Falling Sky Valley masses were extremely downcast.

The old Valley Master who built Falling Sky Valley by himself passed away right before their eyes…

"Look!"

Just as everyone was grief-stricken, a Peak Master suddenly pointed at Demon Lord Luo Xue's body and shouted.

Upon hearing that, everyone's eyes instantly landed on Demon Lord Luo Xue.

Ye Qingtang looked over as well.

This glance stunned Ye Qingtang.

Demon Lord Luo Xue's fallen body suddenly turned into a streak of black fog and penetrated into the ground. At the same time, a blinding white light erupted from the extraordinary lady's heart in Demon Lord Luo Xue's body.

Before Ye Qingtang's shocked watch, a giant tree and vines sprouted up from the ground, but it became calm very quickly again.

High up in the giant tree and above the vines were two fruits.

Ye Qingtang's eyes were popped wide open.

Those two fruits actually gradually grew into two babies before their naked eyes!

Everyone in Falling Sky Valley looked in astonishment at the two babies that formed on the tree. Disbelief filled everyone.

Instinctively, Ye Qingtang took a step forward and looked at the two babies on the tree.

Those two babies—one boy and one girl—had exquisitely-carved features, and their eyes were shut gently.

Ye Qingtang glanced at them only to realize that those two babies actually looked similar to Demon Lord Luo Xue and the extraordinary lady.

"Reincarnation of the Spiritual Abode?!"

Ye Qingtang mumbled almost instinctive as astonishment emerged in her eyes.

The baby girl's body was crystal clear and had a heavy Spiritual Abode aura while the baby boy had an overwhelming demon aura.

In her previous life, after Ye Qingtang became a Holy Venerate, she happened to know a method that could allow a powerful figure to be reincarnated.

It was called the Reincarnation of the Spiritual Abode.

This method required a powerful Spiritual Abode to work.

The supposed source of the Spiritual Abode's energy was the extraordinary lady's heart. If this heart was broken, this mainland would no longer exist.

However, because of Demon Lord Luo Xue, the extraordinary lady's heart was kept and stored away.

Now, the two of them turned into two fruits on a tree and then turned into humans…

Just as Ye Qingtang was caught in a trance, the baby boy on the tree suddenly opened his eyes. Seeming to not notice his surroundings, he immediately looked at the baby girl the first moment he opened his eyes, and his delicate little mouth suddenly opened.

"E-I…"

The baby boy seemed to be laughing as his big, bright eyes looked at the baby girl.

The baby girl seemed to sense something, and her tightly-shut eyes opened slowly and looked in the direction of that baby boy.

"You Yun… Demon Lord Luo Xue…"

Ye Qingtang looked up at the two babies with a complicated expression.

1094 Reincarnation of the Spiritual Abode 2

Ye Qingtang was unsure whether this baby girl and baby boy were You Yun and Demon Lord Luo Xue. It was just that these two babies looked too similar to both of them.

Logically speaking, You Yun had died too long ago, and although her heart was stored, it should not be able to allow her to be reborn as a human…

However, You Yun's Spiritual Abode was already different from that from ordinary people, and it was unknown if there were any unexpected occurrences.

No one could be sure of what was happening exactly.

Even Ye Qingtang could not be certain of the reason behind this abnormal situation before their eyes.

Just as Ye Qingtang was observing the two babies, the Falling Sky Valley masses seem to also be looking at the two babies carefully.

After seeing the face of that baby boy, one of the dejected Peak Masters suddenly broke out into a smile as though he found a straw to clutch at. He wiped his tears away and pointed at the baby boy.

"Look! This little boy looks so similar to old Valley Master! He must be the reincarnation of the old Valley Master. There's no wrong in this… Quickly look…"

"That's right! That must be the case!" Another Falling Sky Valley Peak Master immediately suppressed his agony and nodded repeatedly. "I've already heard enough to understand just now. Our Falling Sky Valley's old Valley Master is Divine King Luo Xue from ten thousand years ago. For someone who is known as half a God, it is nothing for him to be reincarnated after death!"

Demon Lord Luo Xue built Falling Sky Valley all by himself and was kind and magnanimous to everyone in Falling Sky Valley.

Regardless of the internal strife within Falling Sky Valley, the old Valley Master was always the icon of respect for every Peak Master.

As the Peak Masters stepped forward successively and looked at the baby boy, anticipatory comments could be heard.

It was as though they had already firmly believed that the baby boy was none other than Demon Lord Luo Xue, who died a while ago.

At this instant, the birth of the two babies in Falling Sky Valley swept the despair away

No matter the Peak Masters or disciples, everyone's attention was attracted by the babies, which hung on the enormous tree, and they seemed to be influenced by the pure, genuine smiles of the babies.

"What should we do… The two kids can't possibly be hung on the tree…"

Perfected Xuanchen frowned slightly, and he instinctively looked at Ye Qingtang.

After going through this saga, the entire Falling Sky Valley had viewed the Yang Lord Ye Qingtang as the backbone of Falling Sky Valley, and everyone instinctively sought for her opinion.

Nonetheless, Ye Qingtang had never encountered such a situation before and could not make the most accurate judgment in a short time.

"We'll wait and see," After a long while, Ye Qingtang said cautiously. "Since they are born on this tree and are so young right now, we cannot be sure if they will be injured if they are forcefully detached from this tree."

Although Ye Qingtang was unaware of this enigma, she somehow felt that the two babies should be absorbing the nutrients of the giant tree.

Everyone nodded upon hearing her.

Perhaps because they felt that the baby boy was the reincarnation of Demon Lord Luo Xue, the Falling Sky Valley masses looked slightly more relieved.

Only Ye Qingtang was still frowning deeply and showed no signs of relaxation.

Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief…

A wild gust of wind kicked up out of a sudden!

The endless wild wind seemed to want to tear everything in the world into pieces, and a piercing sound rang in the surroundings.

At the same time, a pair of blood-colored eyes seemed to replace the moon as it looked down at Falling Sky Valley.

A boundless and enormous force enshrouded everything that existed.

1095 Reincarnation of the Spiritual Abode 3

"What is that thing!"

Everyone in Falling Sky Valley was appalled by the situation as they looked in disbelief. An eye that was actually as huge as the moon appeared in the sky by itself?!

"It's still here…"

Ye Qingtang looked at that blood-colored eye with a frown and sighed softly.

The Dimension Wall was the extraordinary lady's last protection for this mainland. A portion of it was already broken previously and currently…

As the Dimension Wall was completely broken, the ancient clan of that extraordinary lady might have found this place already.

Ten thousand years ago, the extraordinary lady almost became a God and possessed powers that surpassed the scope of this world. Similarly, that ancient clan was extremely powerful ten thousand years ago as well.

However, ten thousand years later today, the martial culture was backward and could not be compared to its initial years, and that ancient clan no longer had any Gods.

Yet, now that this mainland's Dimension Wall was broken, they naturally desired to take the extraordinary lady's Spiritual Abode away as it could raise the powers of their entire ancient clan by more than ten times…

A thousand miles away from this mainland.

Thousands of battleships above an ancient river were set on sail towards the mainland

Enormous demonic beasts pulled countless huge carriages in the air and led the battleships.

"Ha… Finally found it…"

A fuzzy voice sounded in the air.

"The energy source of the Spiritual Abode turned into a baby girl… We just need to… obtain the baby girl and destroy the entire mainland."

"We also need to be careful. That mainland was once cursed by You Yun… Its spirit energy is extremely thin. When we reach that mainland, our martial skill will also be suppressed to the peak of the Yang Lord realm."

"Haha… That is why this will be an interesting war…"

…

In Falling Sky Valley, Ye Qingtang wore a serious expression.

This day still came in the end…

An unprecedented calamity would eventually befall on this mainland.

At this instant, the Peerless School wardens who were previously killed and then revived by Demon Lord Luo Xue looked at the blood-colored eye in the sky. Seeming to sense something, their expression changed instantly, and they left with the Peerless School disciples.

On the other hand, the Falling Sky Valley masses were in a panic.

In the next few days, there was no longer any movement in that huge tree.

However, the baby boy and the baby girl grew rapidly at an observable speed.

In a few days, the two babies who were just newborns had already grown into children that were two to three years old.

The unusual phenomenon in the sky created a paranoid atmosphere.

Perfected Xuanchen gave an order that forbade anyone from going near the giant tree and the two babies.

Ye Qingtang was the only exception.

In the deep night, Ye Qingtang stood beside the giant tree and inspected the young boy and girl.

"E-I…"

The boy's clear eyes made eye contact with Ye Qingtang, and he subsequently stretched his hands out towards Ye Qingtang.

As she looked at the tiny hands that were stretched out towards herself, a warm smile spread across Ye Qingtang's face. She slowly walked forward and held the boy's hands gently.

The girl opened her beautiful, bright eyes and looked at Ye Qingtang and the boy curiously.

However, Ye Qingtang shuddered the moment she touched the boy, and the aura of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven instantly rushed into Ye Qingtang's brain.

"This is…"

After sensing a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven force, a strange sentiment struck Ye Qingtang.

1096 Plunder 1

"I see…"

Ye Qingtang mumbled after a long while.

There was a trace of the aura of the Tenth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord left in the boy's hand.

Based on the aura, Ye Qingtang discovered that there was a sealed vein deep in the dantian. It seemed like a huge iron door.

In order to enter the Ninth Heaven, or even the Tenth, one needed to open the iron door…

Ye Qingtang withdrew her hand after a long while. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

The aura of Tenth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord in the boy's hand was exactly the same as the Luo Xue Demon King.

Ye Qingtang was very sure at this point that the boy was the Luo Xue Demon King that was dead. The girl should be the extraordinary lady You Yun.

"Mother…"

The boy was slightly grudging when Ye Qingtang pulled her hand back.

"…"

Ye Qingtang was stunned as the boy suddenly spoke. The baby just called her 'mother'?

"E-I…"

The boy suddenly laughed as Ye Qingtang spoke.

Before Ye Qingtang could say anything, both the boy and the girl seemed to be tired. They closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Ye Qingtang felt even more complicated.

She just confirmed that the Luo Xue Demon King was reborn as the little boy, and the powerful person that she admired in her previous life just called her mother?!

Ye Qingtang suddenly did not know how to react. But soon, her emotions faded, and she looked up into the sky. The giant blood-red eye was still there in mid-air.

Based on her calculations, the invaders from the second mainland were going to be here soon…

Ye Qingtang frowned with a heavy heart.

Another two days had passed.

The peace in the Falling Sky Valley only remained for a few days and was broken again today.

The hidden ancient clan appeared in the sky again.

A few powerful people of the ancient clan sparkled as they saw the boy and the girl on the giant tree.

All Peak Masters and disciples of Falling Sky Valley ran to the tree and protected the boy and the girl with their bodies.

One middle-aged man of the hidden ancient clan's sight landed on the two children. A strange glint appeared in his eyes.

"The boy should be the reincarnation of Luo Xue Demon King. The girl… should be where the power of the Spiritual Abode comes from. We can achieve anything if we can get the girl."

There were three Yin Yang Perfected Lords who were at the Tenth Heaven in the hidden ancient clan. All of them were killed by the Luo Xue Demon King. Now, there were no more Tenth Heaven Yin Yang Perfected Lords in the ancient clan anymore.

As long as they could get the girl, besides the Tenth Heaven, they could even break the curse of the mainland.

If they could consume her body, they could even get immortal life…

Suddenly, the aura of Eighth Heaven Yin Yang Perfected Lord surrounded the entire Falling Sky Valley.

Everyone's expression changed upon feeling the terrifying aura.

"We'll spare your life if you hand over the boy and the girl to us." One of the middle-aged men looked down at everyone in the Falling Sky Valley and said.

"Don't even think about it!"

One of the Peak Master shouted coldly.

They were very sure that the boy was the reincarnation of their old Valley Master.

1097 Plunder 2

They would never hand over the boy and the girl even if they had to die here today!

The few ancient clan people were a little surprised after hearing that.

Apparently, they did not expect that the people below dared to resist their orders!

Their faces immediately clouded.

They had never put people of the Falling Sky Valley in their eyes.

It was extremely easy to kill everyone in the valley.

However, the girl was very fragile.

They could kill everyone in the valley instantly. However, the force might hurt the girl as well. They could not afford the loss if the girl died here.

"You overestimated your capabilities." A few ancient clan people landed and walked straight towards the huge tree.

"What do you want!" A few Peak Masters walked forward, trying to block them.

However, before they could get to the ancient clan people, they had to retreat under their aura.

All the ancient clan people were Yang Lords. Normal people could never be able to fight them.

Perfected Xuanchen and the rest could not do anything in front of the ancient clan people even though they wanted to protect the two babies.

The boy seemed to feel the greedy sight of the ancient clan people. He suddenly landed onto the ground from the tree after staying on the tree for the past few days.

When he was falling, he hugged the girl's feet and dragged her down as well.

The moment the two of them landed, the boy pulled the confused girl towards somewhere safe.

"Oh…"

The few ancient clan people's lips tugged up into an unknown smile, and their interest seemed to be aroused.

However, one of them stepped out and blocked the boy's way.

The boy fell to the ground and moved back a few steps back.

The girl stared at the ancient clan figure with fear.

The boy rushed forward again. He stretched his hands and pulled the girl behind her.

"Hahaha, Luo Xue Demon King, how did you end up like this now… Interesting, this is very interesting." The middle-aged man in the golden robe stared at the boy with interest and laughed.

"However, Luo Xue Demon King… you don't need to rush… After getting the woman's Spiritual Abode, we will nurture you… You will be the most powerful killer of the hidden ancient clan. In the future, you'll act according to our order and be a puppet… You'll have no sorrow and anxiety…" The middle-aged man in the golden robe laughed again.

The boy was the reincarnation of Luo Xue Demon King and might even possess martial talent beyond the Luo Xue Demon King. If he could grow up, he would be a renowned supreme chief. The ancient clan would dare to attack the third domain with his help.

The girl shivered and hid behind the boy. Her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.

"Listen to me and move now."

The middle-aged man in the golden robe stared at the boy and smiled coldly.

However, the boy did not seem to hear his words as he had no intention to move.

"Humph, it seems like you don't know what the right thing to do is!"

The smile on the middle-aged man in golden robe faded. His face was cold and expressionless.

1098 Plunder 3

The middle-aged man in the golden robe kneeled down and snapped the boy's forehead with his finger.

The boy was pushed backward and fell to the ground.

The man in the golden robe scoffed and grabbed the girl.

"E-I…"

The boy got up suddenly and ran toward the man in golden robe. His eyes were red. He waved his little fist and punched towards the man's leg.

"Little bastard. No wonder you're the reincarnation of the Luo Xue Demon Lord. Exactly like him."

The man in the golden robe scoffed and kicked the boy away.

"I have to admit that the little bastard is indeed special. I don't know how you magically grow on a tree after reincarnation… Your body is so strong without any cultivation at such a young age." The man in the golden robe laughed coldly.

If he was a normal child, he would not be able to endure the man's kick at all.

"Jin Gang, take the little bastard as well." The man in the golden robe gave a command to a strong man behind him.

The strong man of the ancient clan nodded. He stepped forward and grabbed the boy's hair to pull him up from the ground.

"What do you want! Let go of the two children!"

Perfected Xuanchen and a few Peak Masters walked forward and tried to stop the ancient clan people.

"A bunch of useless idiots!"

The golden-robed man shouted in rage. His strong martial aura suddenly flowed out. Perfected Xuanchen and the rest were forced backward by the aura.

"Humph, you'll be dead now if there was no presence of the source of the Spiritual Abode here…" The man in the golden robe sneered.

Before Perfected Xuanchen and the rest could say anything, a red shadow suddenly flashed across the air.

Swoosh!

A scarlet gleam rushed into the sky as the sword slashed towards the man in the golden robe.

The man in the golden robe dodged backward when he sensed the threat.

However, the girl in his hand was grabbed away by the scarlet figure instantly.

The scarlet figure hugged the girl and smashed her other hand towards the strong man of the ancient clan at the same time.

The strong man was not able to dodge. He was hit by the hand directly, and the boy in his hand was taken away as well.

The figure then showed herself.

Ye Qingtang was dressed in red and hugged the girl and the boy. She looked towards the man in the golden robe and the rest coldly.

"Hidden ancient clan… How majestic… How dare you to bully two children here?!"

"Yang… Lord…"

The few ancient clan figures were a little surprised after sensing Ye Qingtang's Yang Lord power. They did not expect that there was a Yang Lord in the negligible sect.

Furthermore, she must be very powerful to be able to take the two children from their hands.

"E-I…"

The boy was delighted as Ye Qingtang appeared. He grabbed her right hand tightly.

"Be good…"

Ye Qingtang bent down and put down the girl. She handed over the girl to the boy and smiled. "Take care of her."

"E-I…"

The boy's eyes sparkled and nodded.

Ye Qingtang stood up. Her red clothes were swaying in the wind. She took a step forward and scanned through the ancient clan figures coldly. "You want to take the two of them away?"

1099 I Will Certainly Protect You 1

One of the ancient clan figures looked up at Ye Qingtang and scoffed. "It's not easy for you to become a Yang Lord. Leave right now. You do not want to be involved in this."

However, Ye Qingtang had no intention to leave at all. She stepped forward, and her eyes swept through everyone coldly.

Both the Luo Xue Divine King and the extraordinary lady had nothing to do with her previously.

However…

After witnessing everything that happened between the Luo Xue Divine King and You Ruo, she could not just stand at the side.

Ye Qingtang was reborn and went through two lives. She understood the kindness and hopelessness in the world. She only acted according to her heart.

She would definitely protect the two children!

"They're my son and daughter. What kind of relationship do I have with them?" Ye Qingtang showed no sense of fear even though she was facing a few Yang Lords alone.

"Your son and daughter?"

The few ancient clan figures looked at each other and laughed.

"The boy and the girl grew from the tree, and you're saying that they're your son and daughter?!" The man in the golden robe scorned.

Ye Qingtang's sight swept through the two children beside her. The boy called her 'mother' a few days ago.

She did not know how to react back then, but today…

She accepted that.

From today onwards, she would be their mother.

She would definitely protect them no matter what was going to happen ahead.

"Now I am," Ye Qingtang said indifferently.

"Oh…"

The eyes of the man in the golden robe darkened. "You're saying that you purposely want to go against the ancient clan now?"

Ye Qingtang did not want to find any trouble, but…

She was not afraid of anything!

…

At the same time in the Blood Moon Palace…

A blood-red robe was swaying along with the wind. The blood moon at the man's glabella spread its heretic power as the man opened his eyes slowly.

"Is it time for the decision?" The man mumbled softly.

"Lord… what are you going to do?" A young man's figure appeared.

"I have my decision." The Blood Moon Holy Lord waved his right arm and disappeared.

…

In the Falling Sky Valley…

Ye Qingtang was more determined against the few ancient clan figures. She showed no intention to retreat.

"Today, I'll certainly protect these two children," Ye Qingtang said coldly towards the golden-robed man.

His face darkened upon hearing her words.

The ancient clan was the ruler of the mainland. Though they remained hidden, their power was insurmountable.

"You're looking for your death here!"

The man in golden robe shouted. His martial power spread towards all directions instantly and surrounded the Falling Sky Valley.

Ye Qingtang did not even frown after sensing the power of the Yang Lord.

She had nothing to be afraid of as long as they were not the Tenth Heaven Elders of the ancient clan.

Swoosh!

The golden-robed man pulled his sword out and slashed towards Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang grabbed the boy and the girl immediately and stepped backward swiftly.

A deafening sound exploded. As the sword glint flashed, the palace behind Ye Qingtang collapsed.

"All retreat first!"

Ye Qingtang glanced at everyone of the Falling Sky Valley and said.

The Falling Sky Valley's power was incomparable with the hidden ancient clan. The fight between Yang Lords could kill everyone of the Falling Sky Valley with just the aftershocks.

1100 I Will Certainly Protect You 2

Though everyone in the Falling Sky Valley was very anxious, they knew clearly that their abilities were incomparable with the ancient clan figures'. They could not do anything and had to retreat and keep a safe distance away from them.

The entire square was empty instantly.

After settling the two children, Ye Qingtang was ready to walk forward.

However, before she could walk out, the boy suddenly hugged her leg.

Ye Qingtang paused and looked down at the little figure who was hugging her leg.

The boy's eyes were filled with concern and anxiety. It seemed like he did not want Ye Qingtang to leave and hugged her leg even more tightly.

A smile filled Ye Qingtang's eyes as she saw the anxiety on the little boy's face.

She was never the target of concern in the past.

Before Ye Qingtang could ask the little boy to release his hand, the little girl, who was standing at the side, suddenly ran over and mimicked the boy's movement to hug Ye Qingtang's other leg.

Ye Qingtang suddenly did not know how to react as she stared at the two children who were hugging her legs and did not want her to leave.

Did the two little children really recognize her as their mother?

"Mo… mother… Scared…" The boy's eyes sparkled as he mumbled.

"Protect her. I will be back soon, okay?" Ye Qingtang looked at the boy kindly and gently touched his head.

"Yes…"

Though the child was not very willing to let go, eventually he nodded. He released Ye Qingtang and stood beside the girl.

Ye Qingtang stood up as the softness in her eyes was replaced by a trace of malice.

Ye Qingtang turned into a shadow instantly and disappeared.

The moment when Ye Qingtang left, one of the ancient clan figures suddenly appeared from a corner and came to the boy and the girl.

"E-I…"

A black glint exploded from the boy's eyes as he sensed the intention of the man. His body was filled with intense fiend aura.

The fiend aura was like a deep whirlpool that caused the ancient clan figure to retreat backward.

"Not bad…"

The ancient clan figure's eyes sparkled as he sensed the power of the fiend aura. The power of Yang Lord suddenly arose, and the fiend aura was dispersed. He stretched his hand towards the boy.

However, at the same time, a sword shadow suddenly flashed across together with a terrifying sword aura.

"Puff!"'

Before the ancient clan figure could understand the situation, his right arm was chopped off by the sword breath.

"Ah…"

The ancient clan figure screamed and stepped back.

The Heaven-level divine weapon, Regicide Sky Blade, landed from the air and pierced into the ground, in front of the boy and the girl.

"Divine King Luo Xue's… Heaven level divine weapon, Regicide Sky Blade…" The ancient clan figure gritted his teeth as he stared at the sword. He tried to stop the bleeding of his arm and did not dare to get close.

Ye Qingtang did not leave the place as she planned to hide in the dark to see if anyone would sneak attack.

The result was as she had expected.

However… she did not expect that the Divine King Luo Xue's Regicide Sky Blade would suddenly appear and protect the two children.

1101 I Will Certainly Protect You 3

This turn of events gave Ye Qingtang a sense of relief.

The hidden ancient clan had too many Yang Lords. If just one of them refused to let her go, she would be unable to escape, and they could kill the two children. Now, with the protection of a heaven-level divine weapon, Ye Qingtang could stop worrying.

However, Ye Qingtang also knew that ever since the fall of the Divine King Luo Xue, the Regicide Sky Blade's divine sense had been sealed again. Right now, the Regicide Sky Blade did not have much power left and might not be able to last for long.

"You have a death wish."

A cold light glittered in the eyes of the golden-robed middle-aged man. He stepped forward. The entire Falling Sky Valley seemed to shudder violently.

The golden-robed man struck at Ye Qingtang. His sword stroke was one of incomparable martial willpower.

Ye Qingtang frowned deeply at the strength of this willpower.

The powerful cultivators from the ancient hidden clan did not have the power of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven, but their martial arts foundation was very strong. Even Ye Qingtang did not dare to underestimate them.

In a moment, Ye Qingtang and the golden-robed man were embroiled in a sword duel.

In an instant, the two had exchanged a dozen blows.

As the long swords clashed, the ringing noise reverberated continually. The swords flashed repeatedly through the air as if it had become a country of swords.

The golden-robed man looked at Ye Qingtang with a trace of shock.

This young girl was only a Yin Yang Perfected Lord at the peak of the Seventh Heaven, but her true ability was on par with that of an Eighth Heaven Yin Yang Perfected Lord…

"Wow… the young geniuses in this mainland…" The golden-robed man looked thoughtful.

Considering Ye Qingtang's age, she was already incredibly talented to attain the Seventh Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord…

To the golden-robed man, an ordinary Yang Lord was not even worth mentioning. But this girl was different.

"Heavenly Tyrant Technique!"

The golden-robed man suddenly bellowed in rage. A blinding golden glow surfaced on his body. His entire person seemed to explode with the light of a small sun.

At the same time, the golden-robed man once again raised the sword in his hand and struck at Ye Qingtang.

Clang!

A crisp ringing sound resounded in the void.

At that moment, a crimson glow surfaced all around Ye Qingtang. The figure of a Phoenix appeared behind her.

A pair of clear eyes that seemed to pierce through heaven and earth and a breath of ancient air rushed towards him.

As he felt a force pressing against his bloodline, the golden-robed man's expression changed slightly, and he retreated.

However, Ye Qingtang did not give the golden-robed man any breathing space. She forced the power of her Phoenix Bloodline to its peak and used her person to oppress the golden-robed man.

"Humph!"

The golden-robed man grunted coldly. As Ye Qingtang drew near, he did not dodge but advanced instead.

"Haha… if you let me come near you, you will certainly die."

The golden-robed man transformed into an illusion. When he reappeared, he had already caught hold of Ye Qingtang's right arm.

When she heard that, Ye Qingtang's lips curved upwards slightly and arched into a sly smile. "If I did not deliberately make a mistake, you couldn't possibly touch me."

The golden-robed man laughed coldly. "You are at death's door and you still want to have the last word?! Now that I have caught you, you're dead." As he spoke, a trace of a black glow surfaced on the golden-robed man's right palm. It was filled with a startling corrosive force.

This corrosive force could corrode a mountain, much less a body.

1102 Eye Of Extermination 1

However, at that moment, Ye Qingtang's body suddenly burst into crimson flames. Within the span of two breaths, Ye Qingtang had used the power of the Divine Phoenix's bloodline to completely transform into a towering ball of fire.

The golden-robed man looked somewhat perplexed. He looked at the ball of roaring flames, unable to recover his wits.

At that moment, two other powerful cultivators from the ancient clan looked shocked. It was clear that the golden-robed middle-aged man had fallen into this girl's trap.

Ye Qingtang had the Divine Phoenix's bloodline and understood its Ultimate Origin Skill. These two forces had been perfectly integrated in Ye Qingtang's body and could transform into a pure manifestation of power. This destructive flame was a type of pure manifestation of power and was imbued with a huge destructive force. Considering the golden-robed middle-aged man's abilities, he was so near to Ye Qingtang that he would certainly die if he was surrounded and burned by the pure fire that Ye Qingtang had transformed into.

However, just as the expressions of these two powerful cultivators of the ancient clan changed…

After Ye Qingtang transformed into pure flames, the golden-robed middle-aged man did not have time to react before his entire body was consumed by the flames. His entire person was instantly burned into ashes.

Having pulled off her move smoothly, the towering pure flames concentrated at one point again and transformed into Ye Qingtang's actual self.

The other two powerful cultivators of the ancient tribe tried to rescue him, but it was too late. They had not been prepared for Ye Qingtang to transform into flames, much less the golden-robed man. In addition, the flames had been just too powerful. The golden-robed man had been completely burned in an instant, and they had not been in time to act.

"Was that… the power of the Phoenix Bloodline?!"

A few powerful cultivators of the ancient clan glared at Ye Qingtang. Their expressions were extremely gloomy.

"Don't underestimate your enemy."

A cold light glittered in the eyes of the ancient clan's powerful cultivators.

The power of this girl's bloodline could probably be traced to ancient times. Furthermore, her body could be transformed into the pure power of fire. That would be difficult to deal with.

Before the powerful cultivators of the ancient tribe could make any move, the giant blood-red eye in the void suddenly started to move.

In an instant, the giant blood-red eye exploded in a storm of blood-red rays.

The next moment, everyone saw the blood-red rays condense into arrows, which continually rushed out from the eye. They shot towards this mainland in all directions.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A blood-red arrow fell on a mountain near the Falling Sky Valley. Under everyone's startled gaze, the entire mountain instantly transformed into dust and was completely crushed.

"Eye Of Extermination…?!"

At that moment, the powerful cultivators of the ancient tribe all looked shocked.

At that moment, everyone finally understood what the eye in the void was.

"Let's go!"

The powerful cultivators of the ancient clan exchanged glances and instantly came to a decision.

Even a Yang Lord at the level of Yin Yang Perfected Lord could not withstand the huge power of the Eye of Extermination. If they even brushed against it, they would be reduced to dust.

But because of this mainland, the Eye of Extermination's powers were weakened. However, the ancient hidden tribe was unwilling to go up against it casually. Even the power of a weakened Eye of Extermination was sufficient to severely injure them!

It was too dangerous to remain here. If they returned to the ancient clan, they might still be able to withstand the power of the Eye of Extermination.

With that, the powerful cultivators of the ancient clan flew into the void and vanished without a trace.

Blood-red destructive forces continued to pour out of the giant eye in the void. Every arrow that flew out was the accumulation of destructive force. When they landed on various parts of the mainland, they completely exterminated every living thing there.

"We've been looking for you for a long time."

As these things were going on, a group of men and women appeared in the void.

Yin Yang Child glared down at Ye Qingtang and laughed coldly.

Absolute Monarch of Heaven waved his hand, and everyone immediately descended into the valley.

After the events of the Dragon Vein had concluded, they tried to leave the mainland, but for some reason, this mainland had been tightly sealed by someone. They had no way of breaking the seal from within and so had no choice but to stay in this mainland.

Ye Qingtang had obtained the incomparable Divine Phoenix's Inheritance in the Dragon Vein, and everyone wanted to look for her to see if she could use the power of the Divine Phoenix to break the seal.

Everyone swiftly descended into the Falling Sky Valley.

Ye Qingtang looked at Yin Yang Child and the others who had suddenly arrived, and a trace of shock involuntarily flashed across her eyes. An idea suddenly rose in her heart.

"Everyone, please lend me a hand," Ye Qingtang said as she looked at Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the others.

When they heard Ye Qingtang's words, everyone was taken aback. They did not know what she meant.

"You want us to join forces and stop the Eye of Extermination?" A black-robed old man looked at Ye Qingtang.

"That's right." Ye Qingtang nodded slightly. The Eye of Extermination was formidable. By herself, she could not oppose it. Once the power of the Eye of Extermination engulfed them, not a soul would be left alive in the Falling Sky Valley.

Fortunately, Yin Yang Child and the others had arrived at an opportune moment. Ye Qingtang remembered the promise they had made when they had obtained the treasure from the Divine Phoenix's inheritance.

This would certainly come in use now.

Everyone exchanged glances. Although they did not know why Ye Qingtang wanted to protect this area, they had promised the Divine Phoenix and signed a contract with it, agreeing to help the person who obtained the inheritance as much as possible.

The contract was linked to the girl who had obtained the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, Ye Qingtang.

If Ye Qingtang had not used the power of the Divine Phoenix's bloodline, they would not have been able to find her so quickly.

"Everyone, the power of the Eye of Extermination is great, but it is not difficult to block it," Black and White Holy Son said.

The next second, amazing power flowed out around everyone. It formed into a substantial shield that could be seen by the naked eye, and it enclosed the Falling Sky Valley.

When the arrows of extermination fell on the shield jointly created by everyone, it was like water sinking into sand. It did not even leave any ripples.

After Ye Qingtang had left instructions with Absolute Monarch of Heaven, Black and White Holy Son, and the others, she headed for the Formidable Heavens Dynasty with the two children.

Nothing would go amiss in the Falling Sky Valley with the powerful cultivators in Central Mainland protecting it. However, based on their ability and foundation, the Ye and Si Families had no way of withstanding the power of the Eye of Extermination.

Ye Qingtang could not help but worry about the two children, so she had no choice but to bring them with her.

Ye Qingtang arrived at the Yunxiao Sect within a few hours.

The Ye Family's headquarters had been moved here.

At first glance, she could tell that almost half the Yunxiao Sect had been destroyed by the power of the Eye of Extermination. Everyone from the Ye and Si Families was trying their best to hold out.

Although Ye Qingtang did not know why the Si Family was here, she had no time to ponder the matter further.

Swoosh!

At that moment, a blood-red arrow fell from the void and headed for the Yunxiao Sect.

1104 Eye Of Extermination 3

When they saw that, everyone from the Ye and Si Families looked shocked.

They were unable to withstand such a strong destructive force.

However, at that moment, Ye Qingtang descended from the void. Her entire body was filled with an immense demonic aura. She swiftly forced the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline to its peak.

Boom!

Ye Qingtang reached out and grabbed the blood-red arrow, which instantly exploded in her palm. However, the force of destruction was absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Devouring power.

At that moment, a trace of shock surfaced in Ye Qingtang's eyes. After she absorbed the force of the Eye of Extermination, both her personal cultivation level and the strength of her Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline were elevated.

"Eldest Young Lady!"

When they saw Ye Qingtang, Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin looked rather agitated.

Ye Qingtang rapidly descended among the ruins of the Yunxiao Sect.

Master Si, Ye Ling, and the others all quickly surrounded Ye Qingtang.

"Tang Tang, what's going on?!"

Ye Ling walked over to Ye Qingtang and asked with a frown.

A few days ago, a blood-red eye had appeared in the void. No one in the Ye Family recognized the giant blood-red eye. When the Si Family heard that the Ye Family had exterminated the Yunxiao Sect, Master Si brought Si Bai and the others in his family over to congratulate them. However, not long after they arrived, the blood-red giant eye suddenly exploded with a terrifying force of destruction. A large portion of the Yunxiao Sect had been destroyed. If Ye Qingtang had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been devastating.

Even Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin were at a loss, much less Ye Ling. They did not know what the blood-red giant eye was.

Ye Qingtang explained the sequence of events so that everyone could be mentally prepared.

The fight between this mainland and Central Mainland's ancient tribe would soon cause widespread death and destruction. Even Ye Qingtang could not say for sure if she would survive.

"A powerful enemy from the external world has invaded?!"

When they heard Ye Qingtang's explanation, both the Ye and the Si Families were shocked.

"All of you pack your things and come with me to the Nine Nights Dynasty's Falling Sky Valley," Ye Qingtang said bluntly. This place was dangerous. Only the Falling Sky Valley, which was protected by many powerful cultivators of Central Mainland, was somewhat safer.

"Alright!"

As time was pressing, they did not ask any more questions and followed Ye Qingtang's instructions.

At that moment, Ye Qingtang was standing in the void. She was looking at the blood-red arrows that were scattered everywhere. A mysterious gleam appeared in her eyes.

With that, Ye Qingtang started actively flying towards the blood-red arrows.

These arrows of extermination could be devoured by her Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline. Besides elevating her own personal cultivation level, it could also purify her bloodline. Ye Qingtang could not waste such a golden opportunity.

Under the shocked gaze of the Ye and Si Families, Ye Qingtang actively headed for the arrows of extermination. When she touched them, these arrows that were imbued with the power of destruction were instantly transformed into nothing. They were completely absorbed by Ye Qingtang.

After half a day, the arrows of extermination within a radius of a hundred miles had been almost completely devoured by Ye Qingtang.

When Ye Qingtang reappeared in the sky above the Yunxiao Sect, her cultivation level had increased significantly.

"Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven…"

Ye Qingtang muttered to herself thoughtfully.

"That's strange. I can't tell what Eldest Young Lady's cultivation level is anymore…" Daoist Zijin stared at Ye Qingtang in shock.

1105 Forbidden Formation 1

Ye Qingtang had absorbed many arrows of extermination. The aura in her body had reverted to its original state so that her ability was hidden. Her aura now looked no different from that of an ordinary cultivator.

Especially after the small boy had enlightened her on how to enter the Tenth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord, Ye Qingtang's aura was now near intangible.

"Are you ready?" Ye Qingtang looked down in the direction of the Yunxiao Sect.

"We are ready!"

Elder Bai Kui nodded.

When she heard that, Ye Qingtang nodded and led both families in the direction of Falling Sky Valley.

The Formidable Heavens Dynasty and the Nine Nights Dynasty were far apart. However, the Yunxiao Sect was situated in the portion of the Formidable Heavens Dynasty that was near the external world, so it was not too bad.

Because Absolute Monarch of Heaven, Black and White Holy Son, and the other powerful cultivators of Central Mainland were holding the fort in Falling Sky Valley, the Eye of Extermination had not posed too great of a threat.

At that moment, in the public square of the Falling Sky Valley.

The two children were following Ye Qingtang closely. They were unwilling to leave her, even for a minute, and Ye Qingtang had no choice but to allow them to do so.

"Qingtang, these are…"

Perfected Xuanchen's eyes were filled with astonishment. He looked first at Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the other powerful cultivators from Central Mainland, then at the Ye and Si Families.

Ye Qingtang did not hide their identities and introduced everyone.

"And these are friends from Central Mainland?"

Perfected Xuanchen and the group from the Falling Sky Valley looked at Absolute Monarch of Heaven, Yin Yang Child, Black and White Holy Son, and the others. They were somewhat shocked.

In the First Domain, Central Mainland was the mainland with the most flourishing martial culture. Also, Central Mainland's land area was hundreds of times bigger than that of this mainland. A small country in Central Mainland probably had as much land area as this mainland.

"So you are a native of this mainland… how unexpected."

A man in black armor looked at Ye Qingtang and laughed softly.

They had thought that Ye Qingtang, who had obtained the inheritance of the Divine Phoenix, was also a citizen of Central Mainland.

But it turned out that…

Ye Qingtang was from this mainland.

This realization surprised everyone.

After all, this mainland's reputation for martial arts was beneath the notice of the powerful cultivators of Central Mainland. They had not expected that their longed-for inheritance of the Divine Phoenix would be obtained by Ye Qingtang, who was from this mainland.

To the others from Central Mainland, this was shocking. However, they did not discuss it further.

"How strange, why is the Ancient You Clan… attacking this mainland…"

Yin Yang Child looked at the Eye of Extermination in the void, his expression perplexed.

"Ancient You Ancient Clan?"

When he heard that, Perfected Xuanchen was taken aback.

"Don't you know?" Yin Yang Child looked at Perfected Xuanchen and the other local residents. But on second thought, there was no reason for them to know about this, and he continued.

"The Ancient You Clan is one of the oldest clans in Central Mainland. They can trace their roots back for ten thousand years… In the past, an Emperor-level tyrant emerged in the Ancient You Clan. He was almost a demi-god, but unfortunately, ten thousand years later, the First Domain's martial culture declined for some reason. The Heavenly Venerate-level powerful cultivators were all at their peak. Even the Ancient You Clan could not escape their fate and declined."

"Haha, you may say that, but it was not just the Ancient You Clan that declined, but the entire First Domain…" said a black-robed old man from Central Mainland.

1106 Forbidden Formation 1

"Ten thousand years ago, the First Domain was more powerful than even the Third Domain. However, the First Domain had a gap in its history. After the gap, the First Domain started to decline and became the most backward of the three domains in terms of martial culture," the black-robed old man said.

"I think you had better be prepared. The Ancient You Clan is truly dominant within Central Mainland. Even the Heavenly Demon Bloodline Clan's Domain Monarch and his kin are unwilling to provoke the Ancient You Clan… Once their Eye of Extermination appears, the entire area will become desolate. If the Ancient You Clan wishes to invade this mainland, then it will certainly be exterminated." Yin Yang Child laughed coldly.

The Ancient You Clan's perennial wars had extended to many of the more powerful mainlands in the First Domain, not to mention a low-level mainland like this one. Even many of the high-level mainlands in the First Domain had been exterminated and annexed by the Ancient You Clan. Now, the power of the Ancient You Clan was beyond estimation.

Rumor had it that the Ancient You Clan needed a mere half a month to exterminate a high-level mainland. To Yin Yang Child, Black and White Holy Son, and the others, if the Ancient You Clan wanted to exterminate this mainland, it would only take two or three days.

When they heard that, everyone in the Falling Sky Valley turned pale.

They had grown up in this mainland. No matter how backward it was in terms of martial culture or how low-level it was in the First Domain, it was special to them. How could they bear to see this mainland exterminated… their parents, relatives, siblings, and all their accompanying memories were tied to this mainland. They could not bear to abandon it…

But now, no matter how they wished to protect it, they were so frail in the eyes of the powerful ancient tribe of Central Mainland.

"How could this happen…" Perfected Xuanchen was slightly pale. After he learned from the powerful cultivators of Central Mainland about how powerful the Ancient You Clan was, Perfected Xuanchen was desperate.

"It is not inevitable."

At that moment, Ye Qingtang suddenly spoke up.

"Not inevitable?!" Yin Yang Child stared at Ye Qingtang. He lifted his brows slightly and laughed coldly. "What do you know. Do you know how powerful the Ancient You Clan is?"

Ye Qingtang flicked a glance at Yin Yang Child. This brat was asking for a good thrashing.

Fortunately, he was capable enough, and his father was fairly capable. Otherwise, his personality alone would have attracted enough enemies for him to have died a few times.

Although Yin Yang Child deserved a thrashing, at that moment, Ye Qingtang was not in the mood to chastise him.

The current situation was more urgent than beating up a brat.

"No matter how powerful the Ancient You Clan is, they are at most Yin Yang Perfected Lords in this mainland." Ye Qingtang's gaze swept across everyone as she succinctly pointed out the crux of the matter.

When they heard Ye Qingtang's words, everyone was stunned.

Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the group of powerful cultivators from Central Mainland all looked thoughtful.

Ye Qingtang's words gave them all an insight.

Before they came to this mainland, all of them were at least at the Arcane Supremacy stage of martial cultivation. But… once they entered this mainland, their powers were all suddenly suppressed to the level of Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

Further, this power of suppression was the strongest just after entering the mainland, and they could only achieve the Fourth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord. As time passed, the oppressive force slowly weakened, and the martial capabilities of the visitors entered the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

This also meant that no matter how strong they were, once they came to this mainland, they would at most possess the peak strength of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord. Even a god would be the same.

1107 Forbidden Formation 3

"So what. How many Yin Yang Perfected Lords does this mainland have when compared to the Ancient You Clan? They are on a completely different level. They will crush you just based on numbers." Yin Yang Child was still unconvinced.

Ye Qingtang did not refute this point. Although Yin Yang Child was annoying, what he said was true.

The Ancient You Clan's roots and culture went back at least ten thousand years. How could this mainland compare to them…

When he saw that Ye Qingtang did not speak further, Yin Yang Child was rather unused to no one arguing with him. In the end, he frowned and said, "I'm just saying that… perhaps there really is a solution. You don't need to be despondent."

"Yin Yang Child, you really have an irritating mouth." The man in black armor glared at Yin Yang Child and smiled coldly.

Without his father's powerful reputation, Yin Yang Child would probably have been beaten to death already for his irritating mouth.

"He's right though," Ye Qingtang said as she glanced at Yin Yang Child.

Ye Qingtang never deceived herself and others. This mainland was not sufficiently united, and it was unrealistic to expect it to unite against the Ancient You Clan's invasion.

Now, it was impossible for Ye Qingtang to single-handedly withstand the invasion of the Ancient You Clan. However, if people on this mainland could unite together, there might still be a sliver of hope.

"Why haven't you left this mainland?"

Ye Qingtang suddenly asked Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the others.

She thought that the powerful cultivators from Central Mainland would leave after obtaining the treasure from the Divine Phoenix's inheritance. However, they unexpectedly remained in this mainland.

She did not understand why they were still here.

"Hmph, do you think we don't want to leave?" The moment Yin Yang Child recalled the matter, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly.

"We don't know which wretch performed the Forbidden Formation on this mainland. There is temporarily no way out."

This mainland was under the Forbidden Formation?

A trace of shock surfaced in Ye Qingtang's eyes.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of Ling Yan, whom she had not seen for some time.

"In that case, why don't you stay and protect this mainland?" After a moment, Ye Qingtang laughed softly and asked.

"Impossible." Yin Yang Child immediately shook his head. "This is beyond our abilities. We have no wish to provoke the Ancient You Clan."

Ye Qingtang looked at Yin Yang Child and immediately nodded. She seriously and helplessly said, "In that case, I shall not force you… However, the Ancient You Clan is about to kill every living thing on this mainland. Since you can't leave now, when the time comes, the Ancient You Clan will exterminate you together with this mainland. Don't blame anyone then."

The previously fearless and disdainful Yin Yang Child's face immediately darkened at Ye Qingtang's words.

How could he have overlooked this!!

"Haha…" The black-robed old man, who had obtained longevity from the Divine Phoenix, laughed. "What Miss Ye says makes sense. Ten thousand years ago, this mainland was created from the Spiritual Abode of Ancient You Clan's most prominent and powerful figure. After the Dimension Wall cracked, the Ancient You Clan naturally came to this mainland to destroy everything and take back the Spiritual Abode. Now that we are situated in this mainland, we will probably be destroyed together with it."

Based on the Ancient You Clan's modus operandi, they would destroy everything once they arrived in this mainland. The Ancient You Clan would naturally ignore people like them. Now that they were unable to leave this mainland, they would probably be destroyed along with it if they did not fight back.

1108 Two Little Monsters 1

The Central Mainland people were sullen. They originally came here to obtain the Divine Phoenix inheritance, but now, they failed to obtain it and were embroiled into such a huge crisis instead.

This was clearly forcing them to go through life and death with the people on this mainland!!

At this instant, they ever-so-dearly wanted to catch the person who laid the Forbidden Formation and trapped them in this place.

If they did not give that person a beating, their resentment would not be resolved!

The Central Mainland people looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes.

Even if they wanted to leave now, it was impossible.

If they wanted to keep their lives, they could only fight together with this mainland.

The reaction of the masses fell into Ye Qingtang's eyes.

A smile emerged in Ye Qingtang's eyes discreetly, and she said, "Please rest in the valley for a period of time. You may also take time to think things through as it is not a small matter after all."

She was not in a hurry at all; the ones who should be panicking were the powerful figures from the Central Mainland who were entrapped by the Forbidden Formation.

Yin Yang Child could only nod helplessly.

Subsequently, Perfected Xuanchen walked forward and personally brought Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the rest into the guest rooms of Falling Sky Valley. Afterward, he settled down the people from Ye Family and Si Family. On the other hand, Ye Qingtang brought the two little kids into the room she used when she was a disciple in Falling Sky Valley.

In the room, Ye Qingtang sat on the edge of her bed cross-legged and fully consolidated her Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven realm.

It was a pity that the attack of the Eye of Extermination had come to an end temporarily. Otherwise, if she could continuously absorb the energy of the arrows of extermination with her Devouring Bloodline…

"Mo… ther…"

At this moment, the little boy walked to the bedside, and his big eyes blinked at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang immediately hugged the boy and pinched his nose as she chuckled. "What is it?"

"Mo… ther… Name…" The little boy pointed at himself expectantly.

Did this little fellow wish to know his name?

Ye Qingtang looked at the little fellow, not knowing whether to laugh to cry. She had never thought of this before, but since this little fellow was so expectant…

Ye Qingtang propped her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment. A smile emerged in her eyes subsequently, and she looked at the little boy. "From now on, you'll be called Little Luo Xue, alright?"

"Alright…"

Little Luo Xue nodded obediently.

Without waiting for Ye Qingtang to say anything else, the girl walked over as well and looked at Ye Qingtang expectantly.

"You'll be called Little You Yun…" Ye Qingtang looked at the girl and said.

Little You Yun was delighted and nodded repeatedly.

Although Little Luo Xue and Little You Yun were born not long ago, they were extremely intelligent and understood human language without any teaching. Although their articulation was muffled, there was not much impediment when Ye Qingtang conversed with them.

"Mother…" Little Luo Xue suddenly crawled to Ye Qingtang's side and patted Ye Qingtang's calves with his hands.

"… Amazing."

A laugh escaped Ye Qingtang's mouth. Before she understood what this little fellow was doing, Little Luo Xue suddenly pointed at Ye Qingtang "uprightly" and then patted his own chest.

"I… I…"

Ye Qingtang looked at Little Luo Xue's strange behavior and faintly threw a guess. "Could it be that you wish to be as powerful as me?"

Upon hearing that, Little Luo Xue nodded immediately, and his eyes shone brightly as though Ye Qingtang guessed what he wanted to say correctly. He clumsily grabbed Ye Qingtang's skirt with on hand and Little You Yun's hand in the other.

"Pro… Prosect…"

1109 Two Little Monsters 2

Ye Qingtang finally understood this time around.

This little fellow wanted to learn martial cultivation from her to protect her and Little You Yun.

As she saw the tiny Little Luo Xue's "fearless" and "aspirational" manner, Ye Qingtang's heart was about to melt.

"Alright. Let mother look at your natural gift." Ye Qingtang grabbed Little Luo Xue's hand, and a shocking force immediately enveloped Little Luo Xue in it.

"Spirit root…"

Suddenly, Ye Qingtang's expression changed. Little Luo Xue was just born, but his body already possessed a spirit root at such a young age!

After inspecting it closely, Ye Qingtang was even more stunned. This Little Luo Xue's spirit root… was actually a purple spirit root…

It must be known that on this mainland, even a blue spirit root was as rare as a unicorn, much less a purple spirit root.

Ye Qingtang immediately inspected Little You Yun.

As expected, Little You Yun also possessed a spirit root, and her spirit root was even more strange. It was actually pure white like a crystal clear bone; even Ye Qingtang could not tell its origin.

However, Little You Yun's spirit root clearly had an antique and ancient aura. After inspecting it for a while, Ye Qingtang's body shivered uncontrollably.

Ye Qingtang was utterly speechless for a moment.

Out of the two little kids who were born less than one week ago, one had a superior purple spirit root while the other was even outrageous and possessed a pure white spirit root that Ye Qingtang had never seen before.

Perhaps, "monstrous talent" was insufficient to describe Little You Yun and LIttle Luo Xue.

Ye Qingtang immediately reorganized her thoughts and chuckled at Little Luo Xue. "Let… Mother teach you cultivation techniques then… However, it's a little difficult and you must learn patiently."

As he heard Ye Qingtang, excitement etched all over Little Luo Xue's face, and he nodded energetically.

Little You Yun also hurried over and had a diligent, studious look.

Ye Qingtang handed a set of cultivation techniques to Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue.

Initially, Ye Qingtang thought that Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue had never come into contact with cultivation techniques before and would require at least half a month to slightly comprehend the techniques.

Nonetheless, after a short hour, Ye Qingtang was completely astounded.

"Martial Qi Level One, First Heaven…"

"Martial Qi Level Two, Third Heaven"

"Martial Qi Level Three, First Heaven!"

In just this short one hour, Little Luo Xue's martial realm actually advanced from zero to Martial Qi Level Three…"

Under the pretext of an absence of any contact with martial cultivation, he used only one hour to comprehend cultivation techniques and even advanced from Connate to the Martial Qi Level Three realm. If Ye Qingtang did not witness this personally, she would never believe it…

At the same time, a frightening martial aura exploded around Little You Yun. Ye Qingtang looked over, and she was even more stunned.

Little Luo Xue merely advanced to Martial Qi Level Three realm while Little You Yun was even more straightforward and advanced all the way to half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm…

For an ordinary little kid, it would require at least one year and more to be familiar with cultivation techniques, much less advancing in martial realm. Ye Qingtang previously thought that Little You Yun was the energy source of the extraordinary lady's Spiritual Abode while Little Luo Xue was the reincarnation of Divine King Luo Xue. Perhaps because they were the reincarnation of talents, she thought that they would already be amazing, monstrous talents if they could understand the techniques in half a month's time.

1110 Two Little Monsters 3

Yet, Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue gave Ye Qingtang a mind-blowing surprise.

Back then, after Ye Qingtang became a Holy Venerate, she had seen plenty of monstrous talents that were extremely gifted. However, compared to these two children before her… they were…

"Mo… Mother… Too easy… Want… Want… even more powerful…"

Little Luo Xue walked to Ye Qingtang's side and hugged her calf while staring at Ye Qingtang eagerly with bright eyes.

Ye Qingtang stared blankly at the young boy. "…"

The corner of Ye Qingtang's lips twitched a little… This child… was not in the least bit… cute!

Standing aside, Little You Yun looked at Ye Qingtang and Little Luo Xue and smiled dreamily.

This scene was extremely heartwarming.

"Mo… Mother… Fa… Father?" Little Luo Xue looked at Ye Qingtang and asked with a baby voice.

"…"

None!

"Little Luo Xue, be good. Let's continue cultivating." Ye Qingtang saw that Little Luo Xue was becoming increasingly curious and immediately diverted his attention.

After hearing that, Little Luo Xue seemed to move away from the topic of his father and nodded at Ye Qingtang repeatedly.

Ye Qingtang attached high importance to Little Luo Xue and Little You Yun's martial talent. These two kids had overly scary potential, and according to their potential… if these two kids could grow up healthily… they would become a true… God!

Deeply afraid that something would go wrong, Ye Qingtang even looked for Perfected Xuanchen.

Although Ye Qingtang was a Holy Venerate back then and had a few disciples, she was not well-versed with imparting martial skills and was way lousier compared to Perfected Xuanchen.

"Master, how is Xuanling Sect?"

After calling Perfected Xuanchen to the study room, she first asked this.

Perfected Xuanchen replied. "Falling Sky Valley's disciple, Mo Changkong, is the son of Xuanling Sect's Elder Mo. As per your intention, Mo Changkong has already brought the Xuanling Sect masses into the valley, and there's no issue with it."

Ye Qingtang's heart was finally at ease upon hearing that.

"Did you call me here for this?" Perfected Xuanchen asked curiously.

Nevertheless, Ye Qingtang did not explain and merely brought Little You Yun and LIttle Luo Xue to Perfected Xuanchen's side for them to display their auras.

At this instant, the two kids were floating in the air and seemed to really enjoy this feeling.

"This…"

Perfected Xuanchen was extremely shocked and dumbfounded.

Little You Yun and LIttle Luo Xue were only born not long ago but had already reached this martial realm?!

Afterward, Perfected Xuanchen learned from Ye Qingtang that these two little kids only used one hour to be skillful at cultivation techniques, and one had advanced to Martial Qi Level Three while the other advanced to half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord…

"Unbelievable… Truly unbelievable!" Perfected Xuanchen was extremely agitated as elation filled his eyes.

Had he not witnessed it for himself, he would not believe it!

"Master, although I am a Yang Lord, I am nothing compared to you in regard to imparting knowledge. I hope that you can guide them by their side." Ye Qingtang looked at Perfected Xuanchen and said.

Perfected Xuanchen flashed a smile and said, "Qingtang, don't worry. I will definitely do my best."

With Perfected Xuanchen's guidance on imparting skills, the two little kids improved at a rapid speed. In just two days, Little You Yun's martial cultivation had already entered Yin Yang Perfected Lord Fourth Heaven while Little Luo Xue's martial cultivation had entered the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Second Heaven. It was a miracle.

1111 A Single Spark Can Start A Prairie Fire 1

Apart from Perfected Xuanchen's guidance, Ye Qingtang also took time out to impart high-level mental cultivation techniques, swordplay techniques, martial arts, lightness skill, and remarkable skills to Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue.

Even a genius would require at least several years to attain great achievements in cultivating these martial cultivation techniques.

Nonetheless, these two little kids were monstrously gifted and only used two days to perfect these cultivation techniques.

Perfected Xuanchen proclaimed that he had taught quite a number of outstanding and gifted disciples, but they were worlds apart when compared to these two little kids.

He even thought that he was dreaming as the speed of the kids' improvement was truly too fake…

In two days, they advanced to the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Second Heaven and Fourth Heaven respectively and even attained phenomenal success in the martial arts cultivation techniques that Ye Qingtang imparted.

This was probably the potential of a god.

The martial potential of the two little kids was too frightening, and Ye Qingtang had never seen such a situation in both lives.

Of course, in her previous life, a Holy Venerate was not unparalleled in the Second Domain as there were numerous Emperor-level powerful figures.

At this instant, Little Luo Xue floated in the sky, and his bright eyes looked at Ye Qingtang as he giggled.

"These two little kids… are too unbelievable…" Perfected Xuanchen marveled as he looked at Little Luo Xue and Little You Yun.

"If they continue on at this speed… Little Luo Xue and Little You Yun will probably be able to advance to the Arcane Supremacy realm in less than half a month!" Perfected Xuanchen looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

A smile that was unbeknown to even Ye Qingtang filled her eyes as she looked at the two little kids. After hearing Perfected Xuanchen, she shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. The higher the martial realm, the harder it is to advance further. Moreover, the spirit energy on this mainland is too thin and very limited. It is insufficient to support the Arcane Supremacy realm unless they leave this mainland."

Perfected Xuanchen did not refute her as no Supremacy had ever appeared on this mainland.

A span of two short days seem like an extremely short period of time, but a great change had already happened.

The You Ancient Clan came to this mainland finally.

From the north of this mainland, all the sects had been annihilated and subsequently reorganized as a force of the You Ancient Clan.

Its speed was so swift that it simply left one tongue-tied.

It was at this moment when Ye Qingtang and the rest truly experienced the might and fearfulness of the You Ancient Clan.

You Ancient Clan was certainly a powerful ancient clan force with ten thousand years of heritage. To destroy this mainland, they did not use the normal methods that ordinary people thought of; they did not even need to use their own hands and instead used another even more shocking method.

They recaptured all the sects and family clans of this mainland for their own use and used them as cannon fodder to block all forces who dared to resist.

In just a few days, countless big and small sects submitted to You Ancient Clan and did not have the slightest intention to resist.

Ye Qingtang was not surprised by this situation.

The spirit energy on this mainland was already thin, and Yin Yang Perfected Lords were extremely rare.

On the other hand, the martial realms of the powerful figures in the Central Mainland were much higher than those of the people here from the start.

You Ancient Clan was widely known even in the Central Mainland. They had a massive force and countless Yin Yang Perfected Lords. Those sects had never seen such a battle array before, and the sects at the northern mainland had completely fallen to You Ancient Clan without having You Ancient Clan to do anything.

In the next half a month, the northern region of the mainland had completely fallen, and hundreds of sects and family clans became the cannon fodder for the You Ancient Clan.

Black and White Holy Son chuckled in the main hall of Falling Sky Valley. "This is indeed a common practice of the You Ancient Clan. They could annihilate this mainland and cause an internal war without losing a single one of their soldiers…"

Perfected Xuanchen nodded. Following powerful figures was an inherent mindset of humans, and whether they would kill each other was not something they could consider anymore.

Ye Qingtang originally thought that after You Ancient Clan came to this mainland, they would come straight for Falling Sky Valley and capture Little You Yun away.

However, it now seemed that she had underestimated the You Ancient Clan.

"Haha… Why are you worried, Miss Ye? You just need to kill up north." A chuckle suddenly echoed around.

Everyone was confused by the voice and looked around their surroundings.

"Who spoke?" Yin Yang Child asked with a frown.

However, no one responded.

When that familiar voice entered her ears, a strange look emerged in Ye Qingtang's eyes silently.

Others might not be able to tell, but the voice of this person…

"This voice… Why do I feel that it's so familiar…" Yin Yang Child suddenly looked at Ye Qingtang, and his expression changed in no time. "Ling… Ling Yan?!"

Upon mentioning Ling Yan, Yin Yang Child looked around his surroundings almost instinctively but failed to see any trace of Ling Yan.

Ye Qingtang also looked around but did not catch any sight of him. Then, she recalled that the source of the sound seemed to be near her, and she remembered that she had a voice transmission stone on her.

Ye Qingtang immediately took out her voice transmission stone.

Previously, when Ye Qingtang and Ling Yan were in the Dragon Vein, they relied on the voice transmission stone to communicate. She never expected Ling Yan's voice to ring from the voice transmission stone again.

Upon seeing the voice transmission stone, Absolute Monarch of Heaven, Black and White Holy Son, and the rest suddenly realized the situation.

No wonder they could not find the owner of that voice after looking everywhere.

"Who is Ling Yan?" A Central Mainland powerful figure asked curiously.

The Central Mainland was extremely vast. It had millions of small nations, hundreds of big nations, and even several big dynasties.

It was normal for the talented powerful figures to not know of each other or to even not have heard the names of other powerful figures.

"Humph. Don't you know Ling Yan? A prince of Eternal Dynasty and a good-for-nothing with no martial skills." Yin Yang Child snorted coldly. Perhaps because he was tricked by Ling Yan before, Yin Yin Yang Child was full of hatred when he talked about Ling Yan.

"Yin Yang Child, you have a grudge against that Ling Yan?" The man in black armor sharply sensed Yin Yang Child's strange tone and laughed immediately.

"Of course!" Yin Yang Child did not deny.

"You said Ling Yan is a good-for-nothing. If he is a good-for-nothing and you have a grudge against him, why don't you kill him? Given your skills, it should be an easy feat to kill a good-for-nothing, isn't it?" The man in black armor said.

Yin Yang Child's expression changed immediately, and he glared at the man in black armor fiercely.

The male in black armor was rather baffled and did not understand why Yin Yang Child glared at him.

Was there anything wrong with what he said?

Ye Qingtang had many questions in her heart at this moment. If Yin Yang Child and the rest were not present, she really wanted to ask if it was Ling Yan's doing that the Central Mainland people were trapped in this mainland by the Forbidden Formation.

After all, Ye Qingtang instinctively thought of Ling Yan when she heard of this incident.

Yet currently…

It was inconvenient for Ye Qingtang to voice her questions.

If Ling Yan admitted it publicly, all the powerful figures from the Central Mainland, not just Yin Yang Child, would probably itch to skin Ling Yan alive.

Ye Qingtang immediately thought of what Ling Yan said and asked, "Ling Yan, you want me to… kill up north by myself?"

The north was currently dominated by You Ancient Clan, but Ling Yan actually wanted her to head there alone?!

Could it be that she accidentally offended this fellow and that he was here to take revenge on her?

"Of course, if you wish to bring a few more people, there's no issue either." A faint laugh could be heard in Ling Yan's tone from the voice transmission stone.

"Bullshit!" Yin Yang Child shouted furiously upon hearing Ling Yan. "We are not going!"

Not only Yin Yang Child, everyone present was unwilling to head there. The northern mainland had completely fallen already. Wasn't it seeking death if they headed to the temporary headquarters of the You Ancient Clan?!

Ye Qingtang could understand their reactions. Thinking from another perspective, she herself would not wish to head over as well.

"Ling Yan, what enmity do you have with this woman to tell her to head to the You Ancient Clan and court death?" Yin Yang Child snickered coldly.

Clearly, Ling Yan did not have any intention to respond to anyone other than Ye Qingtang and did not reply to Yin Yang Child's cynical remarks.

"Alright, I understand. When do you think I should set off?" Ye Qingtang asked the voice transmission stone a long while later.

Everyone present was stupefied by what Ye Qingtang said.

After interacting with each other for a few days, the Central Mainland people faintly realized that this young girl with alluring looks had completely overturned the old saying of "an outwardly attractive but worthless person" as she was extremely intelligent in reality.

But was she really going after that person called Ling Yan anyhow bluffed her?

Anyone with eyes could tell that heading north now was no different from courting death.

This did not seem like something that Ye Qingtang would agree to…

Or was it to say that… this Ling Yan and this girl had an affair? Otherwise, why would she have so much trust in him?

Ye Qingtang did not know what the others were thinking. Although she felt that what Ling Yan said was unexpected, his judgments had never been wrong to date.

Since Ling Yan said that, he must have some insights.

In this crisis, she was willing to take a gamble. Moreover… she did not feel that Ling Yan would harm her.

Just as everyone was still in shock, Ling Yan's voice rang from the voice transmission stone once again.

"Right now."

"Alright," Ye Qingtang said in agreement.

As Ye Qingtang agreed cleanly, a soft chuckle sounded from the voice transmission stone, and Ling Yan's voice sounded right after.

"Rest assured, Miss Ye. I will stay by your side. You just need to listen to me throughout the journey."

There was no sound from the voice transmission stone afterward.

1114 A Single Spark Can Start A Prairie Fire 4

Ye Qingtang's lips twitched slightly as she looked at the voice transmission stage in her hands.

Stay by my side?

How?

By relying on the voice transmission stone?

However… considering Ling Yan's skills, Ye Qingtang instantly felt that… it was better for him to use the voice transmission stone and move his mouth…

"Qingtang, I think this is unsuitable!" Perfected Xuanchen looked at Ye Qingtang with a deep frown and said. "We don't know how many troops of the You Ancient Clan came from Central Mainland, but it could capture the entire northern mainland in just two days. It is evident how scary its force is. Qingtang, the odds will be against your favor if you go there alone!"

"Eldest Young Lady, Perfected Xuanchen is right. You should think twice!" Elder Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin persuaded her otherwise hurriedly.

However, Ye Qingtang had already made up her mind. Since Ling Yan wanted her to head over, he must have his own ideas.

Seeing that their persuasion fell on deaf ears, everyone stopped talking.

Bai Kui, Daoist Zijin, and a few others initially wanted to follow Ye Qingtang, but Ye Qingtang rejected them. She might not attack this trip and perhaps was only there as a scout to observe the situation. Having many people would be a hindrance instead, and if they really encountered danger, Ye Qingtang might not be able to save the rest.

Ye Qingtang returned to her room swiftly and was prepared to leave after packing her things.

Ye Qingtang just left Falling Sky Valley, and the little white tiger was beside Ye Qingtang since god knows when.

The current little white tiger was larger than before, and its fur was even more obvious. An inexplicable aura could be vaguely sensed.

"You're awake?"

Ye Qingtang looked at the little white tiger and chuckled.

"F*ck you… What a nap…" The little white tiger yawned and said. "Every growing stage, we Fiendcelestial Beasts will fall into a deep sleep… It's similar to hibernation of normal demonic beasts, but after I wake up, my combat power will increase by a fair amount."

Ye Qingtang sized up the little white tiger and nodded.

The current little white tiger was greatly different from before. If Ye Qingtang fought with her life on the line, she might not win against the little white tiger even before it was enlarged.

"You woke up at the right time. Follow me." Ye Qingtang grabbed the little white tiger and placed it in her arms.

Although the little white tiger was bigger, there was not much change in its frame.

"Where are we going… I haven't eaten…"

The little white tiger looked at Ye Qingtang in confusion as he was completely unaware of the recent happenings.

Ye Qingtang could not be bothered to explain to the little white tiger and walked ahead with great strides.

"Holy Lady!"

A few steps later, a sweet and delicate voice rang behind Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang turned around instinctively only to see Ouyang Qian walking towards them.

This person was indeed Ouyang Qian, but the spirit in the body was the Blood Moon Elder.

Initially, Ye Qingtang let the Blood Moon Elder stay in the Ouyang Family and did not bother with him as she had too many things to settle. Ye Qingtang originally thought that Blood Moon Elder had already returned to Blood Moon Sect, yet it turned out that he was still in the Ouyang Family.

Looking at Blood Moon Elder's glowing skin, it was easy to tell that he was nourished very well in the Ouyang Family and was probably so indulged in the pleasure that he forgot to return to Blood Moon Sect.

"Holy Lady, I'm here!"

Blood Moon Elder rushed to Ye Qingtang's side hurriedly with a face full of smiles.

"Stay in Falling Sky Valley first and wait for me to return." Ye Qingtang looked at Blood Moon Elder and said.

1115 A Single Spark Can Start A Prairie Fire 5

After hearing Ye Qingtang, Blood Moon Elder actually behaved contrary to his usual behavior and shook his head repeatedly. "Holy Lady, you are heading to the north of this mainland… That place is extremely dangerous, but I am very familiar with that place. There definitely won't be any wrong to bring me along…"

Before Ye Qingtang could speak, Blood Moon Elder said again, "Holy Lady… moreover, you should at least let me possess a powerful figure's body and go back to a male body… Actually, it doesn't matter whether it is powerful or not. The most important thing is to return to a male body…"

Ye Qingtang shot Blood Moon Elder a look immediately. Given Blood Moon Elder's position as the Eldest Young Lady in Ouyang Family, he would have returned to a male body a long time ago if he wanted to.

Noticing Ye Qingtang's reaction, the Blood Moon Elder was a little guilty, and he laughed awkwardly. "Actually… girl or boy… that is not important. The most important thing is to… become even more powerful… and possess a powerful figure's body…"

Ye Qingtang stayed silent for a moment. After sizing up the Blood Moon Elder, her lips suddenly curled up into an ambiguous smile. "Sure. Follow me then."

The Blood Moon Elder shuddered instinctively when he saw Ye Qingtang's expression.

Back when he entered the Hell of Avicinaraka mystic realm with Ye Qingtang, she also behaved this way before, and afterward… he, a dignified man, became a little maiden…

"Let's go!"

Without giving the Blood Moon Elder time to think, Ye Qingtang grabbed him and immediately ascended to the sky, disappearing without a trace.

"Too… fast… already!!"

The Blood Moon Elder was pulled into the air by Ye Qingtang. The moment he opened his mouth, a wild gust of wind gushed into his mouth, and his entire face was almost distorted.

The Blood Moon Elder was shaken. He had only been apart from Ye Qingtang for a while, and now that they met again, her martial skills had already reached this frightening stage…

Half a day later, Ye Qingtang finally arrived at the northern region of the mainland with the Blood Moon Elder.

Ye Qingtang slowly landed on a small island and cast the Blood Moon Elder aside.

"Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven…" The Blood Moon Elder stared at Ye Qingtang in astonishment. Over a few months, Ye Qingtang actually entered the Yang Lord realm.

"Holy Lady, your martial talent… is truly frightening…" The Blood Moon Elder stared at Ye Qingtang and exclaimed.

Looking at the Blood Moon Elder's stunned expression, Ye Qingtang was, however, extremely calm.

Frightening?

If Blood Moon Elder saw Little Luo Xue and Little You Yun, he would then know what was truly "frightening".

"Miss Ye, you should have arrived at the northern region of the mainland already, haven't you?"

Before waiting for Ye Qingtang to speak, Ling Yan's voice sounded from the voice transmission stone.

Blood Moon Elder was slightly dumbfounded to hear his voice.

Without explaining to Blood Moon Elder, she replied straightforwardly. "I'm here."

"Miss Ye, there's no need to act rashly. The You Ancient Clan is extremely strong in discipline and planning. Before invading a mainland, they must have their own troops and deployment. You can understand the situation clearly first and inform me afterward," Ling Yan said with a chuckle.

"I think the same too." Ye Qingtang was in full agreement with Ling Yan's suggestion.

To know one's own strengths and the enemy's was the sure way to victory. If they did not even know the basic headcount and troops of the You Ancient Clan and stormed into You Ancient Clan's temporary headquarters, it was simply seeking death.

For the entire day, Ye Qingtang brought Blood Moon Elder around to survey almost the entire northern region of the mainland.

1116 A Single Spark Can Start A Prairie Fire 6

After a day, Ye Qingtang finally understood the basic situation of the You Ancient Clan.

From Ye Qingtang's survey, the number of people from You Ancient Clan who came to this mainland was not a lot—only about a hundred people.

However, they brought thousands of battleships over.

For every five battleships, there was one general who was in charge of attacking each sect.

The You Ancient Clan was split into ten teams, and each team had about twenty powerful figures who guarded ten cities respectively. The strongest general's team conquered a city named Sky Stars City.

Simply put, to completely defeat the You Ancient Clan that came this time, they needed to destroy the ten great main cities of the north.

However, the ten great main cities were not far away from each other; thus, once something happened to a main city, the surrounding cities would immediately provide support.

After understanding all of these, Ye Qingtang could not help but frown.

You Ancient Clan's attack and defense were perfect. As they possessed unparalleled combat power, they also had a flawless defense, sturdy like an iron plate.

"The city nearest to me is Moonlight City, and it's already conquered by the You Ancient Clan with about twenty You Ancient Clan figures." After a long while, Ye Qingtang informed Ling Yan about everything she found out.

"Miss Ye, I understand the general situation already. You can head to Moonlight City now." Ling Yan chuckled.

"Head to Moonlight City…" Ye Qingtang was surprised by what Ling Yan said. "For what?"

"Start a massacre." Ling Yan's devilishly-charming laughter rang from the voice transmission stone.

"…"

Moonlight City had at least twenty You Ancient Clan powerful figures, but Ling Yan wanted her to head to Moonlight City and cause trouble for the You Ancient Clan?

"Holy Lady… What feud do you have with this fellow?" Blood Moon Elder stared at the voice transmission stone and could not help but ask.

The You Ancient Clan was an old clan from Central Mainland… With twenty powerful figures from the ancient clan guarding the city, how would Ye Qingtang start a massacre when she headed to Moonlight City? It was more like she would be massacred, wasn't it?!

Blood Moon Elder had learned from Ye Qingtang of the recent events and even about the extraordinary lady and Divine King Luo Xue. He was extremely clear of the current situation, and even though Ye Qingtang was a Yang Lord, it was impossible for her to confront the You Ancient Clan…

"Don't you trust me, Miss Ye?" Ling Yan asked softly.

"…" Ye Qingtang was silent.

"Miss Ye…"

Before waiting for Ling Yan to speak again, Ye Qingtang said forthrightly, "Trusting you it is."

Anyway, Ye Qingtang had witnessed Ling Yan's intelligence for herself. If Ling Yan was set to make her trust him, she had to believe him even if she did not.

Ye Qingtang was completely uninterested in experiencing being tricked by Ling Yan; thus, she might as well agree quickly…

It seemed like he had heard Ye Qingtang's speechlessness in her tone, and Ling Yan's chuckle sounded from the voice transmission stone.

The clear chuckle tugged at her heartstrings. Almost instinctively, she kept the voice transmission stone and concealed that chuckle.

In the next second, she brought Blood Moon Elder with her and flew towards Moonlight City.

About an hour later, in Moonlight City.

A deafening roar and combat sounds could be heard in a super sect.

The Blood Moon Elder inspected the place for a moment and mumbled. "This sect should be Shenchao Sect… It is one of the super sects in the north…"

1117 Wrath 1

The Blood Moon Elder inspected the place for a moment and mumbled. "This sect should be Shenchao Sect… It is one of the super sects in the north…"

Currently, more than half of the Shen Chao Sect disciples were killed, and the majority of the senior executives died in the battle. The Sect Master and Grand Elder were still fighting with their lives.

Numerous black-robed middle-aged people with a "You" stitched on their sleeves seemed to be killing the Shenchao Sect people in an overpowering manner.

"Submit to You Ancient Clan and you'll live. Resist You Ancient Clan and you'll die."

One of the black-robed men said in a low voice as he scanned the surroundings with eyes devoid of emotion.

"Grand Elder… Sect Master… save me…"

"Help… No…"

Some You Ancient Clan disciples used violent means to rip the clothes of the Shenchao Sect female disciples and smiled lustfully.

"Are you all… still human? How dare you all permit those young ones to do such atrocious things!" An elderly from Shenchao Sect yelled furiously upon seeing the scene, and a vein popped up on his forehead.

"Oh?"

One of the black-robed men said with an indifferent expression, "Kindness is for humans. Lowly ants of this mainland like you all are not considered humans to us. It is a blessing of your female disciples to be able to relieve the stress of my You Ancient Clan disciples."

"Father… save me… save me!"

One of the Shenchao Sect female disciples' clothes were torn apart, and her fair skin was exposed. She shivered in the face of the brute gaze of the You Ancient Clan disciple before her as she desperately shouted to one of the sect elders in despair.

"Bastards, let go of my daughter!"

That Shenchao Sect elder hollered furiously and unsheathed his sword before slashing down at the You Ancient Clan disciples swiftly.

"Old thing, you're courting death!"

Noticing the situation, the You Ancient Clan disciple scoffed and stuck a palm out as he spoke.

Puff!

The air pressure from that strike instantly beheaded that Shenchao Sect elder.

"Father!!"

The female disciple whose clothes were ripped apart was dumbstruck, and she screamed in grief.

"These bastards… Even if I die, I will not let you all have your way!!" The female disciple's face was as white as a sheet, and she bit her tongue instantly.

Then, her complexion turned ghastly white, and blood seeped out from the corner of her lips. She collapsed on the ground instantly.

That You Ancient Clan disciple scoffed at the situation. "What a damn spoil of fun!"

Afterward, he stuck his leg out and kicked that Shenchao Sect female disciple's body dozens of meters away, forming an arc in the air before crashing into a pillar within the sect, which shattered into pieces.

Looking at the female disciple's body again, it was already dismembered to pieces.

"Ah…"

The Shenchao Sect disciples were in great despair after witnessing the sight.

The skills of these people were too scary. While Shenchao Sect was a super sect, they almost had no ability to retaliate in the face of these You Ancient Clan figures.

"You bastards…"

Shenchao Sect Master clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth but was extremely powerless.

"You don't know how to appreciate favors," one of the You Ancient Clan black-robed elderlies said coldly.

"Kill all the men in this sect and bring the females away." The black-robed elderly ordered immediately.

The You Ancient Clan disciples at the scene howled excitedly upon hearing that.

"No… Please…"

"Don't touch me… Don't touch me!!"

1118 Wrath 2

Shenchao Sect's female disciples were extremely tragic. Some tough female disciples knew what kind of torture they would face in the future and suicided at the scene while more than half of the men were slaughtered in a flash.

At this instant, Blood Moon Elder personally witnessed the hell-like scene and was stunned. "This… this is the Central Mainland ancient clan's style of work?!"

Blood Moon Elder simply could not understand how such a ruthless ancient clan could survive until now and even had an inheritance of ten thousand years. Were they still human? Even calling them beasts was an insult to beasts!

Even Blood Moon Sect, who was known by this mainland to be the heterodox evil cult, had never done such shameless and low-down things.

Ye Qingtang narrowed her eyes. Looking at the tragic sight, the miserable cries echoed in her ears, and all warmth had drained from her eyes.

It was not the first time Ye Qingtang witnessed such extreme bullying of the weak.

Wars between a high-level mainland and a low-level mainland had always been this way…

In her previous life, Ye Qingtang once participated in a war between mainlands before and had seen plenty of such incidents.

Just as that black-robed man from You Ancient Clan had said, kindness was for humans. If it was warfare between the forces of the Central Mainland, such things definitely would not happen. However, it was different when a high-level mainland warred against a low-level mainland…

The superiority complex of people at high-level mainlands… would make it so that they would never treat the cultivators of low-level mainlands as humans. In the eyes of these high-level mainlands' cultivators, the low-level mainlands' cultivators were no different from pigs or dogs. Slaughter or humiliate, they would not be guilt-ridden. This was the evil nature… of humans…

Despair enshrouded the entire Shenchao Sect. Looking at the devastating sight before his eyes, Shenchao Sect Grand Elder was pale as despair had almost drowned him completely.

In despair, the Shenchao Sect Grand Elder could only pray to the heavens for a miracle to befall.

However…

When Shenchao Sect Grand Elder looked at the sky, his eyes coincidentally spotted Ye Qingtang who was in the sky.

"Yang… Yang Lord?!"

Shenchao Sect Grand Elder was shaken for that moment.

He clearly sensed the aura around Ye Qingtang that she accidentally revealed. That overbearing energy caused the Shenchao Sect Grand Elder to wince, and a trace of hope appeared in his eyes…

"Please… I'm begging you… Yang Lord… Please do something… and save us!!"

In his despair, the Shenchao Sect Grand Elder seemed to have found a straw to clutch at and immediately kneeled to Ye Qingtang.

Although the Shenchao Sect Grand Elder did not think that a Yang Lord would be willing to interfere in this matter… this was his last hope!

Even if… she could only protect these Shenchao Sect disciples, it was also fine!!

Swoosh!

Almost at the same time when the Shenchao Sect Grand Elder kneeled down, Ye Qingtang's body turned into a flash of shadow and disappeared from the sky.

When she appeared once again, she was already within Shenchao Sect.

Her cold eyes swept across the hell-like scene before her, and the coldness in her eyes seemed to be able to freeze the air in her surroundings.

In the next second, Ye Qingtang suddenly took a step forward, and her floating figure directly arrived beside a Shenchao Sect female disciple who was about to be humiliated.

That lady's eyes were filled with fear. When she saw that the person who appeared before her was actually an exceedingly beautiful lady, she grabbed onto the edge of Ye Qingtang's clothes tightly.

"Save… save me…"

1119 Wrath 3

"Who are you? How dare you poke your nose around?!" A You Ancient Clan disciple shot a cold look at Ye Qingtang, who suddenly appeared. When he noticed Ye Qingtang's stunning beauty, a vile expression flashed across his eyes.

"Do you… also treat your mother this way?" There was no expression on Ye Qingtang's face as she glanced at the You Ancient Clan disciple coldly.

That You Ancient Clan disciple's face darkened immediately. With a sharp "clank", he unsheathed his sword and wanted to slash at Ye Qingtang.

"I think you're tired of living!"

Swoosh!

However, just as that You Ancient Clan was about to slash down, a gleam suddenly flashed by. Before he could come to his senses, blood spouted out from his neck!

The man's body collapsed on the ground lifelessly and convulsed as blood gushed out from his neck.

Most likely, even when he died, he still did not understand when exactly he was injured…

The Shenchao Sect people were dumbstruck.

This lady who appeared from nowhere was actually so decisive in killing and killed a You Ancient Clan disciple in an instant!

The Shenchao Sect female disciple who was previously tugging onto Ye Qingtang's clothes tightly widened her eyes in confusion.

There was no emotion on Ye Qingtang's face. She glanced across the scene coldly and immediately noticed that many of the You Ancient Clan disciples were around Yin Yang Perfected Lord Fourth Heaven realm while those senior executives in black robes had not entered the Yang Lord realm either…

Logically speaking, the You Ancient Clan disciples should at least be in the Arcane Supremacy realm, and the senior executives should be in the Divine Arcane Supremacy realm. Even after entering this mainland, their martial skills would not be as weak as this…

Ye Qingtang's instant kill of a You Ancient Clan disciple caught the attention of the You Ancient Clan people.

"Yang… Lord…"

The black-robed elderlies from You Ancient Clan saw Ye Qingtang, who suddenly appeared, and frowned deeply.

"Let's go!"

After sensing Ye Qingtang's skills, one of the black-robed elderlies immediately waved a hand and wanted to command the You Ancient Clan members to leave.

At this instant, Ling Yan's voice sounded from the voice transmission stone again. "Miss Ye, tear the weed out by the roots so that it can never grow again."

Without Ling Yan's reminder, Ye Qingtang also understood this logic.

Although it was unknown as to why those senior executives of You Ancient Clan had not reached the Yang Lord realm, this was an opportunity not to be missed to Ye Qingtang.

"You wish to leave?" Ye Qingtang's cold voice was heard.

The moment she spoke, an overbearing Yang Lord aura filled the air instantly and enshrouded the You Ancient Clan figures in it.

It sealed the entire Shenchao Sect completely and did not give the You Ancient Clan members any chance to escape.

"Who dares to go against the You Ancient Clan!" A black-robed elderly roared furiously.

Ye Qingtang cast a cold look at that black-robed elderly and slashed her sword across without giving him any response.

Sensing the might from the Yang Lord's strike, everyone was horrified and could not help but retreat backward.

Under Ye Qingtang's slash, dozens of You Ancient Clan disciples were slaughtered on the spot while a few black-robed elderlies fled in all directions and riskily avoided the blow.

1120 Kill 1

The black-robed elderlies were in the Arcane Supremacy realm in Central Mainland, but after coming to this mainland, their current martial skill realm was around Yin Yang Perfected Lord Sixth Heaven, and they were definitely no match for Ye Qingtang, a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven.

In just a few rounds, two black-robed elderlies were already killed by Ye Qingtang.

These condescending ancient clan figures would not have thought that they would ultimately die in the hands of a small Yang Lord when they merely invaded a low-level mainland.

"Anyone who kills or injures a member of the You Ancient Clan… must face dire consequences. You will be banished to the underworld and be suppressed for eternity!"

One of the black-robed elderlies glared at Ye Qingtang furiously.

"Killing one is a crime while slaying a hundred is considered heroic. After I kill everyone from your You Ancient Clan, who else can banish me to the underworld?" Ye Qingtang's eyes flickered as she spoke. It was as though the surrounding air froze.

The Shenchao Sect disciples and senior executives were extremely agitated and cheered continuously.

"Hahaha. Did they really think that our mainland does not have anyone powerful… These invaders are so arrogant in our land, but aren't they still going to be killed by a Yang Lord in the end!"

"Long live, Yang Lord! Kill all these bastards!"

"Yang Lord, after these bastards came to the north, they exterminated every being and killed all the citizens in Sky Star City…"

Many Shenchao Sect senior executives shouted.

"How hateful…"

The remaining black-robed elderlies gritted their teeth. If they were in the outside world, this bullshit Yang Lord would be easily killed by the impact of their auras!

"If only our battleships carrying our water supply were not exploded by someone…"

A black-robed elderly's expression was extremely grim.

They originally prepared sufficient food and water when they came from Central Mainland to this low-level mainland.

However, halfway throughout their journey, their battleships storing water suddenly exploded for some reason. Afterward, the You Ancient Clan gathered water from nearby, but unexpectedly, almost all the water sources were poisoned. As such, after entering this mainland, their martial realms were severely suppressed and returned very slowly.

The Blood Moon Elder who had been following Ye Qingtang heard her bold words and was encouraged. He immediately walked forward and scoffed at the You Ancient Clan people.

"You need to pay a corresponding price for doing evil on our mainland!"

He could not lose his Blood Moon Sect demeanor before his Holy Lady.

Just as the Blood Moon Elder was about to speak, Ye Qingtang had already turned into a flash of shadow and charged towards the remaining black-robed men.

Currently, the black-robed men who were only at Yin Yang Perfected Lord Sixth Heaven realm could not block Ye Qingtang's attack. In ten or so breaths, the powerful figures who were at the Arcane Supremacy realm in the outside world were all killed by Ye Qingtang.

As for the You Ancient Clan disciples, Ye Qingtang did not let them off either and slaughtered all of them in Shenchao Sect.

"Thank you Yang Lord… Shenchao Sect will never forget your great kindness!"

Shenchao Sect Grand Elder walked forward immediately and bowed to Ye Qingtang gratefully.

Before Shenchao Sect Grand Elder's knee touched the ground, Ye Qingtang walked forward and helped the Shenchao Sect Grand Elder up.

"This is our home. Now that our home is facing a calamity, how can we sit idly and not do anything?"

1121 Kill 2

Shenchao Sect Grand Elder's eyes were filled with respect.

"What do we do next?" Ye Qingtang suddenly asked softly.

"Uh… Yang Lord, we don't know what to do either…" The Shenchao Sect Grand Elder was stunned.

Ye Qingtang rubbed her temples and said helplessly, "I was not asking you…"

Before the Shenchao Sect Grand Elder spoke again, Ling Yan's soft chuckle sounded from the voice transmission stone. "Miss Ye, you can let all these people leave."

Upon hearing that, Ye Qingtang nodded and had an idea in mind.

"This place is not safe to stay for long. All of you should set off for Falling Sky Valley in the Nine Nights Dynasty immediately." Ye Qingtang looked at the Shenchao Sect Grand Elder and Sect Master and said.

Shenchao Sect Grand Elder did not have any objections to a Yang Lord's words and immediately agreed without asking for the reason.

"Now… we can completely destroy this city." Ling Yan's chuckle came from the voice transmission stone.

Ye Qingtang nodded and stored her voice transmission stone. She first removed the space rings from the You Ancient Clan people before leaving.

Given Ye Qingtang's current skills, it was impossible for her to open the space rings of those black-robed men. However, those disciples' space rings stored many black-grade weapons and rare treasures.

As Ye Qingtang walked around Sky Stars City, the huge city was lifeless as though it had become a dead city.

Swoosh!

At this instant, more than ten You Ancient Clan senior executives flew in all directions and surrounded Ye Qingtang.

"Scumbag, how dare you kill a You Ancient Clan member!"

The leading black-robed elderly looked at Ye Qingtang and hollered furiously.

"I did not look for you all, but you all came to court your death on your own accord." Ye Qingtang swept across the people and snickered.

"Yang… Lord…"

After sensing Ye Qingtang's aura, the black-robed elderlies looked at each other with shocked expressions.

How could Sky Stars City of this low-level mainland have a Yang Lord… They had already checked that the northern region of this low-level mainland had no Yang Lords. This was also why they chose to invade this low-level mainland from the north and then swallow the entire piece of land once their skills increased to the peak of Yang Lord…

"F*ck you. Let me have some exercise."

The little white tiger shuttled out from Ye Qingtang's embrace and instantly leaped out like a white bolt of lightning. Before everyone realized what had happened, the neck of one of the black-robed elderlies was already bitten apart by the little white tiger.

Ye Qingtang was uncertain about the exact combat power of the little white tiger after waking up, but she could be sure that if she fought all-out with the little white tiger, she might not win against the little white tiger steadily. Of course, these You Ancient Clan senior executives were no match for the little white tiger as well.

In no time, at least seven people were killed by the little white tiger tragically.

"Quick! Call Elder Yin Fo!!"

A black-robed elderly exclaimed immediately.

Elder Yin Fo of You Ancient Clan was guarding a city nearby Sky Stars City. As long as Elder Yin Fo came over, everyone would die regardless of Yang Lord or not!

"Miss Ye… it's about time." Ling Yan's voice could be heard.

Without waiting for Ye Qingtang to speak, a black-robed elderly heard Ling Yan's voice, and his expression changed instantly. "Eternal Dynasty's… Ling Yan?!"

Ling Yan's devilish laughter sounded. "You Ancient Clan, nice to meet you all."

"You… Wait, on our way here… I saw a battleship from Eternal Dynasty…" The black-robed elderly frowned deeply. "Could it be that… you were the one who sent people… to destroy our water supply?!"

"That seems to be the case. If I've caused any troubles to you all, I'm extremely sorry," Ling Yan said with a soft chuckle.

The You Ancient Clan senior executives were infuriated. They had no feud with Eternal Dynasty, yet this Ling Yan secretly sent people to guard the route that they would definitely pass by and destroy their battleships that carried their water supply. Had their battleships not be destroyed, how would their skills return so slowly!!

"Could it be that…" A You Ancient Clan senior executive's expression changed greatly. "Are all the water sources nearby poisoned by you?!"

"Yes." Ling Yan laughed. "Your water supplies were destroyed, and you all will have to search for new water sources. I laced poison in all 123 water sources in the surroundings… Unless all of you powerful figures don't need to consume water, it is definite that you all will be poisoned. There's no other way out."

"Ling Yan… you are so evil. What feud does our You Ancient Clan have with you?!" A black-robed elderly shouted furiously.

"Feud? There's none," replied Ling Yan.

"Since there's no feud at all, why do you want to lay a trap and harm us?" The black-robed elderly had a dark expression.

"Why…" Ling Yan laughed coldly. "Of course it's because… you all caused Miss Ye to feel troubled."

Ye Qingtang was stunned by what Ling Yan said.

"Ling Yan… what does your Eternal Dynasty count as… Eternal Dynasty will definitely be annihilated after offending You Ancient Clan! You will regret this!" The black-robed elderly was enraged.

However, Ling Yan laughed and said, "I'll thank you all in advance then… I am being excluded by the imperial power in Eternal Dynasty. If You Ancient Clan is willing to clean up and even annihilate the Eternal Dynasty for me, that would be the best."

"You…"

The You Ancient Clan senior executives were flushed. They were actually fooled by a prince of the Eternal Dynasty!

"Miss Ye, if you're not going to attack now, then when will you?" Ling Yan said suddenly.

"Aren't you chatting happily with them? I didn't wish to disturb." Ye Qingtang shot a look at the voice transmission stone.

"No matter how much I talk to others, it cannot be compared to half a sentence with you." Ling Yan chuckled.

"…" Shen Qianshu stared blankly at the voice transmission stone. Why can this Ling Yan continue on with any topic… Did he mean that…

Without uttering another word, Ye Qingtang activated the black-grade weapon in her hand and slashed the remaining black-robed elderlies.

Ye Qingtang joined forces with the little white tiger, and in no time, everyone from the You Ancient Clan in Sky Stars City was killed.

The You Ancient Clan definitely never expected that in such a short span of time, one out of their ten teams was already completely wiped out.

"F*ck. We're rich… Let's take all of their space rings away… We will split them half-half!" The little white tiger said hurriedly.

It had just grown and needed to replenish a large amount of energy. The space rings of those You Ancient Clan powerful figures would definitely have plenty of rare treasures…

1123 Demonic Creature 1

Ye Qingtang glanced at the little white tiger meaningfully. Before she could say anything, Ling Yan's voice was heard once again.

"Miss Ye, this place is not safe to stay long."

"Why…" Ye Qingtang asked.

"Leave the city now and don't look back," Ling Yan said.

"F*ck you… This rich*ss… It's easy for you to say…"

The little white tiger was full of grudges when it heard what Ling Yan said.

Ling Yan was a prince and naturally did not lack valuable items, but it lacked many!

However, before the little white tiger could finish its sentence, Ye Qingtang directly grabbed the little white tiger, which continued to complain incessantly, and dashed out of Sky Stars City without looking back. The Blood Moon Elder followed after tightly when he saw Ye Qingtang leave.

"F*ck. You're really leaving!!" The little white tiger glared at Ye Qingtang.

As the little white tiger finished speaking, an extremely frightening overbearing force instantly enshrouded the entire Sky Stars City.

A pair of enormous eyes appeared in the sky, and black rays of light emerged in the eyes.

Boom…

Boom Boom!!

The entire city shook tremendously.

Outside the city, Ye Qingtang was shaken when she saw the owner of that pair of eyes.

A pitch-black demonic creature near a hundred meters tall was not wearing anything as it walked in the city slowly. With every step it took, the ground of Sky Stars City shook violently as though it was cracking apart.

"Sh*t…"

Looking at that enormous creature, the little white tiger could not help but swear.

If it really remained in Sky Stars City to search for its spoils of war just now…

The little white tiger really had to give it to Ling Yan's brain. It silently turned to look at Ye Qingtang and said, "What is… that thing… Is it a monster?!"

Ye Qingtang's brows were slightly furrowed, and she shook her head.

The little white tiger could not help but turn around to look at that enormous, black monster in the city. No matter how its skills were, the visual impact was too shocking…

A pair of eyes that were darker than the night contained destructive energy. Every inch of its skin seemed to have an explosive force.

The creature, which was walking upright, hollered furiously.

There were still many citizens who were alive in Sky Stars City. When that enormous demonic creature appeared, the looming fear spread throughout the city rapidly. Everyone fled in all directions with their life.

However, the human-looking demonic creature suddenly opened its mouth.

As its mouth opened, a gust of wild wind swept into the city instantly.

As the wild wind rushed in, the citizens who were fleeing away were instantly swept into the demonic creature's mouth.

The cries of children, shrieks of ladies, laments of elderlies… All of these were mixed together at this moment, resembling a howl from hell and causing one to tremble with fear.

The cries of fear and screams shattered everyone's eardrums.

However, the miserable sounds ended very quickly, and a dead silence ensued.

The ten thousand plus people remaining in Sky Stars City were all swallowed by that human-looking demonic creature in the blink of an eye.

A bloodcurdling chewing sound reverberated in the surroundings as fresh blood gushed out of the demonic creature's mouth continuously.

A roar erupted from that demonic creature subsequently. The moment its blood-filled mouth opened, fresh minced flesh could be seen in its mouth…

1124 Demonic Creature 2

After witnessing this terrifying scene, even the little white tiger, a Fiendcelestial Beast, was shocked.

"This… is too scary…"

It was as though tens of thousands of citizens in Sky Stars City instantly became food for that demonic creature.

The entire city turned into a living hell as an intense smell of blood enshrouded the city.

The minced flesh mixed with blood continuously fell from the demonic creature's mouth to its legs. A half-eaten corpse of a child fell into a pile of blood with a thud.

Only despair and fear from before he died could be seen on the child's originally innocent and pure face.

As Ye Qingtang looked at the living hell before her eyes, her hands were clenched tightly into a fist, and there seemed to be a layer of fog in her eyes.

She looked up slightly and looked at that human-looking demonic creature, which was walking upright.

Even though there was a distance between her and that demonic creature, she could still clearly sense the dangerous aura around that demonic creature. Even with her Yang Lord skills… it was impossible for her to have any chance of victory…

Even if Ye Qingtang wished to save the people in Sky Stars City, she did not have the power to do so.

If she abruptly rushed into the city to save them, not only would she be unable to rescue anyone, she and the little white tiger would also lose their lives in the city.

Ye Qingtang shut her eyes and took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing her anger, but the despair and wails echoed around her ears.

"Holy Lady… what exactly is that thing… This aura is too stifling… I even have problems breathing now…" The Blood Moon Elder who fled out together felt that his breathing was a little hurried at this instant.

Ye Qingtang opened her eyes slowly and forced herself to calm down. She automatically recalled that those You Ancient Clan senior executives mentioned Elder Yin Fo earlier on.

"Could it be that… this demonic creature is the Elder Yin Fo that the You Ancient Clan people said…" Ye Qingtang frowned slightly.

The moment Ye Qingtang spoke, Blood Moon Elder's expression changed instantly. He raised his hand and pointed to one black, giant eye in Sky Stars City.

"Holy Lady… this is bad! Look!"

That giant eye moved slowly and landed straight on Ye Qingtang.

"Tsk… Tsk tsk…"

At the same time, the human-looking demonic creature laughed sinisterly. "Found… you…"

Swoosh!

Energy rushed into the legs of the human-looking demonic creature, and its towering body jumped out of the city instantly with a terrifying smile on its face.

"F*ck you. Quickly run!"

The little white tiger looked at the human-looking demonic creature, which bolted towards them. It bared its fangs instantly, and its fur stood up. The extremely dangerous aura immediately caused the little white tiger to be in self-defense mode.

Without the little white tiger's reminder, Ye Qingtang immediately fled away once she saw the demonic creature inching closer to them

"Miss Ye, head to the next city immediately." Ling Yan's voice rang from the voice transmission stone again at the critical moment.

"What…" Ye Qingtang frowned deeply. Currently, all the cities in the north were already conquered by the You Ancient Clan. She was now being chased after by a demonic creature… If she went there, wouldn't she be attacked from the front and the back?

1125 Demonic Creature 3

"Don't worry… Just do as I say. There's me," Ling Yan said softly.

Before waiting for Ye Qingtang to speak, a bolt of power of Karma rushed from the voice transmission stone to the sky.

Ye Qingtang looked in the direction of the scarlet power of Karma and saw that it had turned into a huge Buddha, and it was in a battle with the demonic creature.

"What is that…"

The Blood Moon Elder's expression changed as he looked at that Buddha with limitless might.

"Realistic Illusion?!" Ye Qingtang looked at that huge Buddha statue and mumbled.

In her previous life, Ye Qingtang once knew about an illusory spell called Realistic Illusion.

The energy of the Realistic Illusion swung between reality and illusory. It could confuse one's mind and was extremely difficult to differentiate.

She just witnessed the power of karma explode from the voice transmission stone and turn into a Buddha statue. That should be the Realistic Illusion as the Buddha statue did not really exist and was merely transformed by illusory energy as Ye Qingtang had understood.

"Leave quickly."

Ling Yan's voice suddenly rang.

Without hesitation, Ye Qingtang immediately brought the Blood Moon Elder and little white tiger and fled rapidly.

On the other side, the human-looking demonic creature was blocked by the illusory Buddha statue and was fighting it without revealing any weak points.

Ye Qingtang knew a little about Ling Yan's skills. He seemed to be able to divert his remarkable skill using his Karmic Bloodline from millions of miles away.

They had Ling Yan to thank today. Otherwise, with Ye Qingtang and the little white tiger, it would be very difficult to fight against the human-looking demonic creature.

"Ling Yan, you can tell what's happening here?" The little white tiger could not hold back and asked.

"That's right." Ling Yan's voice could be heard a long while later.

"No wonder…" The little white tiger was in thought.

"Miss Ye, that demonic creature is one of the elders of You Ancient Clan and is called Yin Fo. It is limited in my illusory spell right now. You can head to the city where Elder Yin Fo was at and take it down," Ling Yan said.

Ling Yan's words verified Ye Qingtang's guesses.

Estimating the time that Elder Yin Fo took to rush over for assistance, the city he was in was probably the city nearest to Sky Stars City, Wind Cloud City.

After the You Ancient Clan invaded the north, it conquered ten cities, and each city was not too far away from each other.

A while later, Ye Qingtang descended from the sky with Blood Moon Elder and the little white tiger and arrived outside Wind Cloud City.

"Be careful, Holy Lady. How about we investigate first and verify that this is the city conquered by that Elder Yin Fo? Otherwise, if it's not and this city has another demonic creature guarding it, we will still die without a doubt…" The Blood Moon Elder flashed an obsequious smile.

Looking at the Blood Moon Elder's toady smile, Ye Qingtang nodded slightly and said, "You're right. You'll go to investigate first then."

"Huh… I'll go?" The smile on the Blood Moon Elder's face shattered completely. He pointed at himself with eyes popped wide and was completely dumbfounded. How he wished he could slap his mouth!

Why did he blab for nothing!!

At the same time, in Sky Stars City.

The human-looking demonic creature let out a low roar and immediately charged towards the huge Buddha statue in front.

1126 A Fight Between Formidable Opponents 1

But for some reason, that Buddha statue easily resolved all the attacks of that human-looking demonic creature.

The human-looking demonic creature found it strange. Logically speaking, this Buddha statue was so powerful and could clearly kill it with the flick of a finger, but this Buddha statue's moves were not threatening.

Before the demonic creature could think further, a cloud of blood appeared in the sky.

A cold man in a long blood-colored robe was standing in the air. His white hair swayed in the wind, resembling a True God of this generation.

The Blood Moon Holy Lord looked at the demonic creature coldly. "Blockhead."

Upon hearing that, the demonic creature looked above and was stunned when it saw the Blood Moon Holy Lord.

Although this person was a Yang Lord, his manner was extremely imposing and could even cause it to instinctively shift to self-defense mode.

Blood Moon Holy Lord clenched his fist gently, and a boundless might enshrouded that Buddha statue.

In the next second, the Buddha statue was shattered by the impact of the Blood Moon Holy Lord's overbearing aura and vanished.

"Can't you even tell that it's an Illusory Spell?" Blood Moon Holy Lord looked at the demonic creature apathetically.

"Who… are you!" The demonic creature's malicious eyes met Blood Moon Holy Lord's indifferent eyes and roared sternly.

"My identity is not important." Blood Moon Holy Lord was emotionless, but his eyes suddenly looked at the direction where Ye Qingtang went to.

"Find that lady from before… and kill her is what you should do."

"Oh? You two… have a feud?" The demonic creature stared at Blood Moon Holy Lord and asked inquisitively.

"You talk too much." A cold glint flashed across Blood Moon Holy Lord's eyes.

Almost instantly, the demonic creature was repressed by Blood Moon Holy Lord's imposing manner.

Boom, boom!!

With an explosive sound, the demonic creature could not withstand the overbearing aura and lost its balance. Its knees fell onto the ground.

"How… hateful!!" The demonic creature glared at Blood Moon Holy Lord furiously. This person's aura did not seem ordinary, but how could he only be at the Yang Lord realm?!

"You… are so powerful… Why don't… you kill that… woman… yourself!" The demonic creature looked at Blood Moon Holy Lord and shouted angrily.

"It's none of your business." After saying that, Blood Moon Holy Lord retracted his aura.

As the Blood Moon Holy Lord's aura dissipated, the demonic creature finally regained control of its own body and stood up slowly.

"Where is… that lady!" The demonic creature asked.

"So foolish." Blood Moon Holy Lord looked at the demonic creature and said coldly. "After you left Wind Cloud City, she headed there. Hurry up and get the hell back."

Then, Blood Moon Holy Lord disappeared in the air instantly.

"Humph!" The demonic creature scoffed and rushed towards Wind Cloud City.

Sky Stars City had already lost one team, and if Wind Cloud City was also lost, the general would probably… kill him!

At that thought, the demonic creature roared furiously and ran at its fastest speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

…

On a mountain in Central Mainland, Ling Yan opened his eyes immediately.

"Broke my Illusory Spell…" Ling Yan mumbled thoughtfully.

"Ha… Interesting. Are you still unwilling to give up…" Ling Yan's lips curled up slightly. "What a pity though. Two can play at that game."

1127 A Fight Between Formidable Opponents 2

The little azure dragon aside looked at Ling Yan and asked, "Did that person appear?"

"More or less." Ling Yan replied with a laugh.

"Mhm… That's bad…" The little azure dragon said, "Do you have any means to deal with him?"

"I'll let my shell meet him. How about that?" Ling Yan looked at the little azure dragon and asked with a seeming smile.

"This… is fine, but… the shell does not have any thinking ability nor consciousness and only acts based on its instincts. How can you move it?" The little azure dragon was rather perplexed.

"You're right… However, whose instincts does it have?" Ling Yan's lips tugged up.

"Of course it's the instincts that you left behind…" The little azure dragon replied.

"Since it is based on my instincts, the power of Karma will do the job."

Afterward, the Karmic Natal Chart appeared, and the intense power of karma surged into the sky instantly.

"Tsk tsk… Ling Yan, you're actually doing so much for a girl… Could it be that you're really attracted to her…" The little azure dragon looked at Ling Yan and could not refrain from teasing him.

Before Ling Yan could say anything, the little azure dragon continued speaking. "However, I must remind you that that person has appeared, and what he is about to do is not wrong actually. It's fine for you to stop him, but there's a pretext… And this pretext is that you must have absolute confidence to deal with the matters that Ye Qingtang will have to face after she survives."

"If Miss Ye dies, it's just another cycle… It's ultimately unavoidable. Compared to avoidance, I much prefer going against the heavens," said Ling Yan.

"I feel that… if Ye Qingtang dies…"

Nevertheless, before the little azure dragon could finish speaking, Ling Yan's gaze turned icy, and the little azure dragon could not help but shudder.

"I don't wish for you to say such things ever again. Do… you understand?" Ling Yan stared at the little azure dragon. Although there was a seeming smile on his face, his words seemed to be able to freeze everything in the world.

"Sigh… Man proposes, god disposes. Ling Yan, you've still fallen ultimately… So what even if you changed a shell… She and you are destined to have a doomed fate… It's a curse." The little azure dragon sighed.

Ling Yan chuckled out of a sudden and said, "I've always liked toying with and controlling fate… Have fate or Heavenly Dao ever had the right to control me?!"

"Forget it. I believe in your intelligence more. I just hope that you can truly go against the heavens and change your fate…" The little azure dragon said.

…

The northern region of the mainland, outside Wind Cloud City.

The Blood Moon Elder descended from the sky while panting and hurriedly looked at Ye Qingtang. "Holy Lady, I've checked. That demonic creature should be the guard of this Wind Cloud City. The most powerful person in this city now is only about Yin Yang Perfected Lord Sixth Heaven or so. We can massacre the city!

"Good."

Upon hearing that, Ye Qingtang nodded and charged into Wind Clout City with the Blood Moon Elder and little white tiger.

The situation of Wind Cloud City was worse than that of Sky Stars City. Millions of lives were already devoured by that demonic creature, with only You Ancient Clan people remaining.

Time was limited. Without holding back, Ye Qingtang activated her Phoenix Bloodline and Ultimate Origin Skill to the maximum. Her body turned into a blazing flame, and all You Ancient Clan people in sight were slaughtered.

In just an hour, the hundreds of You Ancient Clan powerful figures and disciples were all slain by Ye Qingtang.

1128 A Fight Between Formidable Opponents 3

"Holy Lady… leave me a body!" Blood Moon Elder saw that Ye Qingtang had killed all the You Ancient Clan senior executives and was about to weep.

Although those senior executives only had a martial cultivation base of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Sixth Heaven on this mainland, it was only so because they were poisoned and the thin spirit energy on this mainland restricted their ability. If they were back at the Central Mainland, they were at least at the second stage Divine Arcane Supremacy of the Arcane Supremacy realm…

"There's limited time." Ye Qingtang looked at the Blood Moon Elder.

If that demonic creature rushed back, they would probably die here, and there would be no time for the Blood Moon Elder to possess a body.

"Holy Lady… you must leave me with one the next time… Looks, height, and age are not important. The only two conditions are for it to be a male and a powerful figure. I will not be greedy for more…" The Blood Moon Elder said with a face full of smiles.

"F*ck. Why are you so troublesome? Just possess any body. So many requests." The little white tiger shot the Blood Moon Elder an eye.

The Blood Moon Elder's lips twitched slightly when he heard the little white tiger…

Had he… completely become a woman in the eyes of this Fiendcelestial Beast now?!!

"Die… all… must die!!"

Before waiting for the Blood Moon Elder to retort, a furious roar could be heard from outside Wind Cloud City.

Ye Qingtang and the rest looked outside the city immediately.

The human-looking demonic creature was back at Wind Cloud City!

"The Illusory Spell was broken…" Ye Qingtang frowned deeply.

Even a powerful human might not be able to escape from the high-level Illusory Spell that Ling Yan set using the power of karma, much less a demonic creature with a low spiritual sense…

Given Ye Qingtang's calculations previously, it would take at least several hours for this demonic creature to see through Ling Yan's Illusory Spell, but only how much time had passed?!

"Ling Yan, your Illusory Spell… was broken so quickly?" Ye Qingtang asked through the voice transmission stone.

However, there was no response from the voice transmission stone at all.

"Ling Yan?" Ye Qingtang called once again but there was still no response.

"This damn Ling Yan actually dropped the ball at the critical moment! Unreliable!" The little white tiger said.

Without Ling Yan, how could they stop that demonic creature?!

Boom!! Boom!!

At this instant, the human-looking demonic creature descended from the sky. Unable to bear the massive weight, the ground cracked instantly. Gusts of wild wind were stirred up as though a disaster had arrived. Ye Qingtang and the Blood Moon Elder retreated backward unsteadily.

The demonic creature immediately scanned Wind Cloud City, and his eyes dilated when he saw that hundreds of You Ancient Clan people were killed.

"How… How dare… you all… General… will not let me off… General will be… punished by the commander… General will… kill me!!!" The demonic creature roared to the sky in rage.

Blood Moon Elder was alarmed.

The human-looking demonic creature before them was already so frighteningly powerful… It was still so fearful of the so-called General… as though the General could kill it with just a thought… And what shocked the Blood Moon Elder the most was that above the General, there was still a Commander. Exactly how… big and powerful was this You Ancient Clan?! How many powerful figures came!!

1129 Kill Her 1

Looking at the demonic creature which chased up to them, Ye Qingtang calmed herself down and asked,

"I'm curious as to how you broke the Realistic Illusion so quickly…"

The demonic creature was inches away from them now, and it was unrealistic for them to escape from Wind Cloud City. Since there was no way out, they could only fight with their lives.

"Someone… wants your life… Who did you offend… Are you… not aware…" The demonic creature glared at Ye Qingtang and said coldly.

"Someone wants my life…"

Ye Qingtang was stunned by what the demonic creature had said. What did it mean?

"Die!!"

The demonic creature roared. A wild wind was raked up, and a frightening demonic aura enshrouded the entire city.

Swoosh!

Ye Qingtang would not wait for her death. She activated the power of her Divine Phoenix Bloodline to the maximum and slashed her sword at the demonic creature.

However, that scarlet sword gleam with incredible destructive force only left a negligible scratch on that demonic creature's huge body.

"Perfect defense?!"

Ye Qingtang was taken aback when she saw that the demonic creature was completely unharmed.

This human-looking demonic creature's skin was like hard metal that simply could not be penetrated or destroyed.

The demonic creature's perfect defense was unrelated to its cultivation realm and seemed to be a natural gift…

Before Ye Qingtang could think further, the demonic creature threw a punch out at the speed of lightning.

Almost instinctively, Ye Qingtang used her sword to block the blow.

Boom!

It was like a thunderous explosion. Ye Qingtang was flung hundreds of meters away by the blow, shattering several buildings in Wind Cloud City.

"Roar!"

The little white tiger roared furiously and charged towards the demonic creature.

However, before it could get close, it was also hurled away by the demonic creature's punch.

"F*ck… So damn painful!" The little white tiger complained incessantly after landing on the ground, but it seemed to recall something and immediately stood up.

"Eh… It isn't that painful… My defense became stronger…"

"Holy Lady!"

The Blood Moon Elder flew to Ye Qingtang's side hurriedly and helped her up.

Whatever weird species that this demonic creature was, its strength and defense was close to perfect and was unrestricted by the martial realm. Even though it was in this mainland, its strength and defense were on par with an Arcane Supremacy and simply could not be fought against!

Ye Qingtang's face was pale, and blood seeped out from the corners of her lips. She frowned and grunted at the Blood Moon Elder. "Quick… flee…"

This demonic creature was too powerful, and even she was not its opponent. If Blood Moon Elder did not flee now, he would definitely die.

"Holy Lady! What are you saying! How can I abandon you and flee for my life at this time!" Blood Moon Elder shook his head repeatedly.

Blood Moon Elder had interacted with Ye Qingtang daily for more than one year, and they had been through so many things together. Their relationship was already beyond the restrictions of life and death.

The Blood Moon Elder clenched his teeth. Even at this critical moment where their lives and deaths were concerned, Ye Qingtang only wanted him to escape quickly…

"All… must die!"

The demonic creature roared in fury, and a huge fist was thrown powerfully toward Ye Qingtang.

However, before the demonic creature could act, a shadow flashed across the air.

Boom, boom!!

All of a sudden, a blaring sound exploded in the air.

1130 Kill Her 2

A cold-looking man that was as elegant as a God suddenly appeared beside Ye Qingtang. He suddenly stuck a finger out and directly blocked the demonic creature's powerful punch.

When Ye Qingtang took a clear look at that man's face, she was instantly taken aback.

"Han Cangming…"

Why was he here?!

Swoosh!

Without seeing how Han Cangming moved, a sword gleam flashed by and pierced through the demonic creature's body.

The moment the sword gleam flashed by, the demonic creature let out a miserable wail, and its body fell forward, causing a deep dent on the ground.

Afterward, Han Cangming turned around and looked at Ye Qingtang.

It was just eye contact, but Ye Qingtang's body stiffened.

In the next second, however, Ye Qingtang felt a trace of familiarity in Han Cangming's gaze.

Every time she saw Han Cangming previously, his eyes were extremely cold as though there was not the slightest warmth in it. However, for some reason today… there was actually a subtle difference.

Han Cangming was slightly confused as he looked at Ye Qingtang, whom he had not seen for a long time.

He was originally on his way to Central Mainland, but for some reason, his thoughts seemed to be invaded by something, and he returned to this mainland.

Even Han Cangming himself was unsure why he returned. It was just that he instinctively thought that this seemed to be what he should do…

"Oh… You finally appeared."

Suddenly, a blood-colored swirl formed in the air.

In the next second, the Blood Moon Holy Lord appeared before Ye Qingtang and the rest.

"Younger brother?!"

Ye Qingtang was perplexed when she saw Blood Moon Holy Lord.

What was it with today?

First came Antiquity Palace's Palace Lord, Han Cangming, and then even her cheapskate younger brother, the Blood Moon Holy Lord, appeared afterward…

If these two were here to save this mainland, Ye Qingtang would be glad to have two more incredible helpers.

But given the current situation, Ye Qingtang vaguely sensed that something was off.

"Holy Lord!"

The Blood Moon Elder immediately bowed at Blood Moon Holy Lord.

The Blood Moon Holy Lord's eyes passed by Ye Qingtang quietly, and a trace of emotion seemed to flash by in the depth of his eyes. When he looked up again, he told the Blood Moon Elder coldly.

"Kill that person."

"Huh? Holy Lord, you want me to kill him?" Blood Moon Elder was startled and instinctively thought that Blood Moon Holy Lord was instructing him to attack Han Cangming, who appeared a while before.

The Blood Moon Elder had goosebumps when he took a look at Han Cangming.

Before the Blood Moon Elder spoke again, Blood Moon Holy Lord suddenly raised a hand, and his slender fingers pointed at Ye Qingtang.

"The person I want you to kill… is her."

Blood Moon Holy Lord's words stunned both Blood Moon Elder and Ye Qingtang.

What was going on?!

"Kill… Kill Holy Lady? Holy Lord, why do you want to kill Holy Lady?!" Blood Moon Elder was extremely shocked by Blood Moon Holy Lord's instructions.

He could not believe it. Holy Lord actually wanted him to kill Holy Lady… Why?!

"Are you questioning me?" Blood Moon Holy Lord said without emotions.

"But…" Blood Moon Elder gritted his teeth. "Holy Lord… I cannot follow your orders! Furthermore, I am not Holy Lady's opponent!"

Blood Moon Elder did not know what Holy Lord wanted him to kill Holy Lady, but if… he really had to make a choice between Blood Moon Holy Lord and Holy Lady…

"Even if I can defeat Holy Lady… I will not do it!!" Blood Moon Elder gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Swoosh!

As the Blood Moon Elder finished his sentence, the Blood Moon Holy Lord raised his right arm slightly, and a red gleam penetrated Blood Moon Elder's glabella instantly.

Just as Blood Moon Holy Lord was about to attack, Han Cangming took a step forward and dispelled that red gleam with the wave of a hand.

"Han Cangming, why do you want to be in my way?" Blood Moon Holy Lord looked at Han Cangming coldly.

A hint of confusion could be seen on Han Cangming's face. He did not know why either, but it was as though all of this was a given and that was what he should do.

"I did not look for you, and you came to offer yourself instead. This is good too though." As Blood Moon Holy Lord spoke, he turned into a blood-colored shadow and flew towards Han Cangming.

In just a moment, Han Cangming and Blood Moon Holy Lord were locked in a battle dozens of miles away.

Blood Moon Elder still had not recovered from the shock at this moment and looked at Ye Qingtang. "Holy Lady… did you… you… betray Holy Lord?"

"Betray?"

Ye Qingtang frowned deeply. When had she ever betrayed Blood Moon Holy Lord?

Ever since the war at Xuanling Sect, she had never seen Blood Moon Holy Lord at all. What betrayal could there be?

Furthermore, she did not do anything over this period of time…

Ye Qingtang could not understand what outrageous thing she did for her cheapskate brother to want to suddenly kill her.

The Blood Moon Elder understood when he saw Ye Qingtang's confused expression.

He more or less knew what Ye Qingtang had done over this period of time, and she indeed did not do anything that betrayed the Blood Moon Holy Lord and the Blood Moon Sect.

Furthermore…

Although Ye Qingtang was Blood Moon Sect's Holy Lady, she had not much connection with Blood Moon Sect in reality, and there was no such chance to betray it even if she wanted to.

But why did Holy Lord…

The more Blood Moon Elder thought about it, the more confused he was.

A thought suddenly struck Ye Qingtang. She looked at the severely injured demonic creature on the ground.

When this demonic creature chased after them earlier on, it said that someone wanted her life, and Ye Qingtang thought that the demonic creature was perhaps referring to someone from the You Ancient Clan.

But thinking about it now, it did not make much sense as that demonic creature was a member of the You Ancient Clan after all…

Could it be that the person that the demonic creature said was the Blood Moon Holy Lord?!

It was the Blood Moon Holy Lord who helped it to break Ling Yan's Realistic Illusion… as he wanted to kill her with the demonic creature…

Thinking of it now, perhaps only the Blood Moon Holy Lord could easily break the Realistic Illusion with his skills.

However, Ye Qingtang could not understand why the Blood Moon Holy Lord suddenly wanted to take her life.

If the Blood Moon Holy Lord wished to kill her, he could have easily done so when they first met a long time ago. Why did he have to wait until this day?

Moreover, Ye Qingtang faintly sensed that although Blood Moon Holy Lord wanted to kill her, he seemed to be unwilling to do it himself. Regardless of giving the demonic creature a chance to kill her or ordering Blood Moon Elder to do so, it seemed that he wanted to kill her through others…

Given his skills, it was clearly simpler for him to kill her himself…

Ye Qingtang found the situation increasingly strange. Furthermore, judging from the reactions of Blood Moon Holy Lord and Han Cangming, it seemed that they knew each other as well. What exactly was going on?

More and more questions flooded Ye Qingtang's mind, and it was probable that she would not be able to understand the current situation in a short time.

1132 This Is Impossible 1

Since that was the case, Ye Qingtang stopped thinking about it and took out a pill from her space ring to consume. In a few breaths' time, her complexion was finally better.

Currently, Han Cangming and Blood Moon Holy Lord were fighting outside the city, and she was pretty safe in the meantime.

Ye Qingtang first looked at the demonic creature and then at the Blood Moon Elder…

When Blood Moon Elder refused to carry out the Blood Moon Holy Lord's orders earlier on, Ye Qingtang was a little touched.

Ye Qingtang immediately looked at the Blood Moon Elder and spoke.

"Oh right… Didn't you want to possess a male powerful figure… There is one here… Time is limited. You must hurry."

Blood Moon Elder was stunned after hearing Ye Qingtang, and he followed Ye Qingtang's gaze.

His lips twitched when he saw that the person that Ye Qingtang was pointing to was actually the demonic creature on the ground.

Was she freaking kidding?!

Although he was a woman currently, he was at least a human… Now, he could not even be a human anymore?!

What the hell is this thing? Can it be possessed?!

"Holy Lady… this place is not safe to stay for long. Let's retreat quickly!" Blood Moon Elder held onto Ye Qingtang and wanted to leave without uttering a word about the possession, acting as though he did not hear Ye Qingtang at all.

"If this demonic creature… returned back to the outside world… It is at least in the Arcane Supremacy realm… It may even be in the Heavenly Venerate realm… In addition, it has perfect defense and strength…" Ye Qingtang mumbled as though she was talking to herself.

Blood Moon Elder immediately stopped in his tracks, and he looked at Ye Qingtang after thinking for a while. "Holy Lady, it's not important whether it is powerful or not. The main thing is that I like this body as it is very manly and domineering. I like it."

However, before Ye Qingtang could continue to speak, a blood-colored shadow suddenly leaped towards them and appeared beside Ye Qingtang in a flash.

"Younger brother…"

Ye Qingtang frowned deeply as she looked at the Blood Moon Holy Lord, who was inches away.

Blood Moon Holy Lord looked at Ye Qingtang coldly as though he had no emotion.

In the next second, Blood Moon Holy Lord's overpowering aura instantly enshrouded Ye Qingtang.

"What… are you doing this for?" Ye Qingtang asked under the pressure of the Blood Moon Holy Lord's overwhelming aura.

Ye Qingtang believed things should not be as such between her and the Blood Moon Holy Lord and was all the more unclear why he wanted to kill her.

"Instead of facing suffering and misery in the future, why not just die earlier?" The Blood Moon Holy Lord looked at Ye Qingtang and said coldly.

Ye Qingtang was slightly shaken. What was the meaning behind those words…

"Holy Lord, please pardon Holy Lady!"

Suddenly, Blood Moon Elder kneeled beside Blood Moon Holy Lord.

However, Blood Moon Holy Lord did not spare him an eye.

"Don't blame me."

Blood Moon Holy Lord raised his right arm, and a blood-colored bolt of lightning emerged in his palm.

However, before the Blood Moon Holy Lord could take any action, the Blood Moon Elder suddenly grabbed the Blood Moon Holy Lord's legs.

"Holy Lady… quickly run!"

The Blood Moon Elder turned to look at Ye Qingtang and shouted loudly.

Then, the Blood Moon Holy Lord looked askance at the Blood Moon Elder and enshrouded him in his boundless aura.

"Quick… Holy Lady… Quickly escape!" Blood Moon Elder saw that Ye Qingtang did not react and shouted again.

1133 This Is Impossible 2

Before Ye Qingtang could speak, Han Cangming's body flashed by, and he grabbed the Blood Moon Holy Lord's shoulder from the back before hurling him several hundred meters away.

"Are you very anxious?" Han Cangming looked at the Blood Moon Holy Lord and asked.

Blood Moon Holy Lord floated in the air and replied coldly. "We can continue slowly after I deal with her."

Han Cangming did not utter a word and rammed his fist towards the Blood Moon Holy Lord.

Seeing that he could not get pass Han Cangming, the Blood Moon Holy Lord could only accept the battle.

Boom Boom!!

Boom! Boom!

Deafening explosions filled the air as though a calamity was impending. Two shadows—one red and one white—interlaced and created ripples in the air.

"Holy Lady… quickly leave!"

Blood Moon Elder immediately grabbed Ye Qingtang and dashed forward.

However, before they could run far, a virtual image of an elderly appeared before them.

The appearance of that elderly was exactly the same as the Blood Moon Elder's original looks!

"You…"

The Blood Moon Elder was stunned when he saw the elderly who looked exactly the same as his original self.

"Have you forgotten your mission?"

The elderly asked coldly. It was as though his voice penetrated through the Netherworld and reached them.

"Who are you… Why do you look like me?!" Blood Moon Elder asked furiously.

"Who am I?" The virtual elderly snickered. "You're merely a split self of me. Why? Did you even forget about this?"

Blood Moon Elder shuddered when he heard what the elderly said, and disbelief filled his eyes.

What was this person saying…

He actually said that he was only a split self…

Even Ye Qingtang was stunned.

"Your existence is to be loyal to Blood Moon Holy Lord. Now that you wish to betray the Blood Moon Holy Lord, I'm afraid there's no need for your existence anymore…" The virtual elderly said without emotions.

Ye Qingtang sized up the virtual elderly in the air and frowned slightly.

This image of the elderly was formed using pure mental energy. His original self should be far away, and he used mental energy to enter this place…

However, to possess such frightening mental energy and be able to execute a remarkable skill that crossed space, this elderly's true cultivation base was at least… above the Heavenly Venerate realm. It was even possible he was even a Holy Venerate…

"I am your split self… Who are you kidding!"

Blood Moon Elder stared at the virtual elderly in the air and shouted furiously.

He was no one but himself, a real and existing independent body. How could he be someone else's split self?!

"Oh?"

After hearing what the Blood Moon Elder said, the virtual elderly snickered. "Since you're so sure that you are not a split self, do you… have any memories from when you were young?"

"This…"

Blood Moon Elder was shocked, and he tried his best to recall his youth… but to no avail, as though he had no youth at all.

"Haha… no wonder. You have already died once, and your true memories should be forgotten already… Since that's the case, let me help you to recall your identity."

As the virtual elderly finished his sentence, endless mental energy immediately enshrouded the Blood Moon Elder.

Many scenes appeared in the Blood Moon Elder's mind almost instantly.

The Blood Moon Elder was astonished. He finally recalled his identity.

Just as what that virtual elderly had said, the Blood Moon Elder was actually really just a split self of that elderly.

1134 This Is Impossible 3

A thousand years ago, he was manifested by the elderly to follow and serve the Blood Moon Holy Lord for eternity without betrayal…

They came to this mainland to search for a lady… and it was said that that lady was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor's wife…

Once the Heavenly Emperor's wife reincarnated and appeared, they were to kill her; this was the only purpose of their existence…

However, time passed, and the reincarnation had yet to appear. A thousand years caused them to gradually forget their initial memories…

"Blood Moon Holy Lord…" Blood Moon Elder quivered slightly. "Holy Lord… is the mental manifestation of the Heavenly Emperor… I… I am a split self of the Heavenly Emperor's warrior… The purpose of our existence… is… is to kill…"

Blood Moon Elder trembled even more intensely, and the last few words were trapped in his mouth. Just as he was about to say them, his eyes landed straight on Ye Qingtang.

"Why… is it you… Why… is the person to kill…"

"What are you saying?"

Ye Qingtang was filled with surprise as she looked at the Blood Moon Elder.

"It seems that you finally recalled your mission." The virtual elderly looked at the Blood Moon Elder and said without emotions, "Since that's the case, what are you still waiting for? This lady is heavily injured. Kill her now and your mission is considered completed."

"The purpose… of my existence…"

The Blood Moon Elder trembled as he looked at Ye Qingtang.

The very purpose of his existence was to wait for the lady before him to be born and then kill her…

"I don't have a choice… I don't have a choice ever since I exist in this world…" The Blood Moon Elder's eyes dimmed gradually as though there was no warmth, and he approached Ye Qingtang slowly.

When he was just several inches away from Ye Qingtang, the Blood Moon Elder suddenly turned around and slashed his sword at the elderly in the air.

However, the elderly was manifested by pure mental energy, and the Blood Moon Elder's attack did not harm the elderly at all.

"On what basis do I not have any choice?!" The Blood Moon Elder's eyes were suddenly bright as he shouted sternly. "I have my own thinking… experiences, emotions… and memory. I'm completely independent. Why do I need to be instructed by you? On what basis should I be an insignificant split self of you?! If I can kill you… I can replace you…!"

The virtual elderly was aloof when he heard the Blood Moon Elder and scoffed loudly. "You're merely my split self… How dare you betray me and even think of replacing me… Forget it, since this is so, there's no point for you to exist anymore. Disappear."

The virtual elderly raised his arm gently.

As the elderly moved, the Blood Moon Elder uttered a piercing scream as though his spirit was experiencing unbearable torment.

From afar, Ye Qingtang frowned at the situation before her.

At her peak, she was once a Holy Venerate and naturally knew how to collect a split self back. All there was to do was to use one's own mental energy to invade into the split self's body.

Evidently, that elderly wanted to collect the Blood Moon Elder split self back at this moment.

1135 Protect 1

"Holy… Holy Lady… save… me…"

The veins on Blood Moon Elder's forehead popped up as he looked at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang walked forward, and a black demonic aura spiraled around her.

The energy of the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline was activated to the maximum.

Ye Qingtang placed a hand on Blood Moon Elder's left shoulder and used the energy of the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline to devour the elderly's mental energy.

"Cooperate with me. Release all your mental energy!" Ye Qingtang looked at Blood Moon Elder grimly.

"Okay…" Blood Moon Elder nodded repeatedly.

Without any defense from the Blood Moon Elder, Ye Qingtang's Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline invaded into Blood Moon Elder's mental level easily and fully guarded his mental energy fully with her bloodline.

As long as that virtual elderly's mental energy invaded in, Ye Qingtang's bloodline energy could devour it, and thus, the Blood Moon Elder could remain safe and not disappear.

The moment Ye Qingtang guarded the Blood Moon Elder's mental energy, an impressive amount of mental energy suddenly rushed from that virtual image of the elderly to the Blood Moon Elder!

In just a moment, the Blood Moon Elder's body seemed to have suffered a huge impact and trembled uncontrollably.

Ye Qingtang's eyes darkened, and her grip on the Blood Moon Elder's shoulder tightened.

That surge of mental energy wanted to invade into Blood Moon Elder's mind aggressively, but just as it filled him, the Heavenly Demon Bloodline that Ye Qingtang injected into the Blood Moon Elder's mental level was immediately activated.

In the blink of an eye, the surging mental energy was completely devoured by Ye Qingtang's Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline.

The elderly, who was originally waiting to collect his split self back, was surprised by the situation. He clearly felt that the mental energy he released earlier on was entirely devoured by a force in a moment.

Instinctively, the elderly looked at Ye Qingtang, who was beside the Blood Moon Elder.

Could it be that she… devoured my mental energy?

The elderly was uncertain, but he intensified the mental energy needed to collect the Blood Moon Elder back. Yet, no matter the extent that he increased by, all the mental energy that entered the Blood Moon Elder's body was completely devoured by that mysterious force in no time…

"What… is going on…" The elderly frowned slightly as confusion filled his eyes.

Ye Qingtang looked up at the elderly with eyes blazing with anger.

"As long as I exist, you can dream on about collecting him back."

The elderly was stunned. "It's you who devoured my mental energy?"

"That's right." Ye Qingtang admitted.

Surprise flashed across the elderly's eyes. Never had he thought that Ye Qingtang actually had the ability to devour all of his mental energy!

However, he was just a virtual image formed by mental energy, and the majority of its mental energy was devoured by Ye Qingtang already. There was insufficient energy to sustain this virtual image, much less collect back the Blood Moon Elder.

The elderly in the air looked at Ye Qingtang in worry and sighed.

"Holy Lady…"

"What did you call me?" Ye Qingtang's brows furrowed slightly when she heard the familiar form of address from that elderly.

1136 Protect 2

"Don't be shocked… I share the same memory as my split self. I feel the same… as how he feels to you…" The virtual elderly sighed.

Ye Qingtang was a Holy Venerate in her previous life, and she naturally knew that the split self's senses, emotions, and even memory could be shared with the original self. Plainly speaking, the Blood Moon Elder and this elderly were actually the same person.

"Holy Lady… fighting alongside you over this period of time is a rare experience…" The virtual elderly continued saying. "Especially when I tried being a lady… However… no matter what, you must die… Being alive in itself… is a cruel thing for you…"

"What are you trying to say?" Ye Qingtang looked at that elderly questioningly as she felt that he seemed to know something.

"You're merely taking that old route once again. It was with Heavenly Emperor in the last life… perhaps it is the Demon God this lifetime… However, you won't have any good outcome regardless… Instead of suffering endless torment and then dying, why not… die earlier…" The virtual elderly said.

Demon God?!

Ye Qingtang was startled when she heard the elderly mention the Demon God.

She had no relations with the Demon God originally, but because of the heart in her body that was known by everyone as the Heart of the Demon God, everyone was after her life throughout her entire previous life.

Now, this elderly mentioned the Demon God and seemed to imply that she had some connections with the Demon God.

Ye Qingtang found it bizarre.

However…

Ye Qingtang took a deep breath and scoffed.

"What a joke. What is meant by a cycle and taking the old route? I don't know what you're saying, but there is one thing that I am very clear of…"

Ye Qingtang looked up slightly. Her eyes were determined and bright.

"My life is in my own hands. No one shall think of controlling my fate!"

The elderly in the air shook his head.

Actually, the elderly was unaware of what exactly happened to Ye Qingtang and merely trusted the Heavenly Emperor unconditionally.

Since the Heavenly Emperor wanted her life, he must have his own reasons.

In the eyes of the elderly, the Heavenly Emperor's words were the only truth in this world.

Regardless of the reason behind the Heavenly Emperor's actions, the elderly would support him unconditionally.

"Alright. Since you insist on protecting this split self, so be it then." The elderly sized up Ye Qingtang and disappeared slowly until he was completely gone.

His mental energy was almost depleted, and this virtual image could no longer be sustained; thus, he could only leave for now.

When he noticed that the elderly disappeared, the tensed-up Blood Moon Elder finally sighed in relief although it was evident that he still had not recovered from the shock. He turned to look at Ye Qingtang in gratitude and spoke.

"Thank you… Thank you Holy Lady…"

Seeing that the elderly had left, Ye Qingtang removed her hand from the Blood Moon Elder's shoulder. The serious expression in her eyes faded away and was replaced by a meaningful look as she sized up the Blood Moon Elder.

"I never thought that… you're actually a split self."

The Blood Moon Elder froze when he heard Ye Qingtang and replied immediately.

"Although… Although I am a split self… I've long forgotten that I am a split self already. I think that I should be the original self."

"Unless you can personally kill him as you said just now… Otherwise, you will always be a split self." Ye Qingtang discouraged the Blood Moon Elder bluntly.

1137 Possession 1

If a split self wanted to become the true original self, the only option was to personally destroy the original self. Otherwise, it would remain as a split self forever.

"Humph. There'll be one day where I take revenge for today and kill him!" The Blood Moon Elder scoffed as his eyes twinkled continuously.

Ye Qingtang's lips twitched slightly after hearing the Blood Moon Elder.

The elderly's martial skills were immeasurable, and even in her peak in her previous life, she might not be able to defeat that elderly.

"Allow me to remind you that your original self is very likely… a Holy Venerate," Ye Qingtang said candidly.

"Holy Venerate?!" The Blood Moon Elder's expression changed instantly, but it only lasted for a moment as he returned to his previous fierce expression. "Humph. So what if he is a Holy Venerate?! As long as I can kill him personally, all of his will be mine, and I will become a Holy Venerate as well…"

Then, the Blood Moon Elder suddenly changed the direction of his discourse and said, "However, thinking about it carefully, I exist because of him… Forget it. I will be compassionate and spare his life."

Ye Qingtang stared blankly at the Blood Moon Elder. "…"

When has this Blood Moon Elder ever been compassionate?

Now that he had changed his stance, it was probably because he learned of that elderly's Holy Venerate cultivation base… and was frightened…

Ye Qingtang was already used to the Blood Moon Elder's "flexibility" according to the situation and merely cast him a look plainly without saying anything.

She directly led the Blood Moon Elder to the demonic creature's side and pushed him towards it.

"Don't say anymore bullsh*t. Quickly possess it."

This opportunity was rare. Han Cangming and Blood Moon Holy Lord seemed to have a feud, and no one knew where they had battled to.

Blood Moon Elder looked at the demonic creature on the ground with a complicated expression. However, he abandoned his last "principle" and immediately moved forward to use his mental energy to invade the demonic creature's body.

Who cares if it was human or not! If he still did not work hard to become more powerful, he would be killed by that old original self!

However big the world was, his life was the most important thing!

Blood Moon Elder had thought it through, but after a long while later, he panted heavily and was sweating profusely. He looked at Ye Qingtang dejectedly and said, "Holy Lady… I can't do it. This demonic creature's mental energy is too strong… Given my current level, it's simply impossible to break through his mental defense…"

What the hell is this!

He had already given up his rights to become human, but there was still such an obstacle!

Ye Qingtang nodded. This was reasonable.

It was easy for a high-level powerful figure to possess a low-level cultivator, but if a low-level cultivator wanted to possess the body of a high-level figure, it was almost impossible.

Suddenly, Ye Qingtang raised her right arm, and a pitch-black flame floated in her palm.

Before Blood Moon Elder's eyes, Ye Qingtang waved her hand gently and threw that destructive flame onto the demonic creature.

At the same time, the demonic creature shrieked in pain as though it was a cry from the depth of his soul.

The demonic creature was heavily injured and had lost all combat ability; thus, it had no way of blocking Ye Qingtang's black flame.

Ye Qingtang immediately looked at Blood Moon Elder and said, "Continue."

"Alright." Blood Moon Elder nodded and then used the power of his spirit to invade into the demonic creature's body.

1138 Possession 2

"It's a pity. It's still short by a little… But compared to before, this demonic creature's mental defense is much weaker," the Blood Moon Elder said.

Upon hearing that, Ye Qingtang continued to increase the amount and density of the black flame, causing the demonic creature to lose control of his mind.

Fifteen minutes later, the Blood Moon Elder fell onto the ground with a pale complexion.

"It's so painful!"

The demonic creature slowly stood up from the ground and let out a deafening roar that resembled explosive thunder in the sky.

Witnessing this, Ye Qingtang slowly retracted all her black flames as the Blood Moon Elder had clearly succeeded in the possession.

"I can't anymore… It's so painful…" The Blood Moon Elder howled continuously.

Ye Qingtang was calm to the wailing Blood Moon Elder and shrugged slightly.

The demonic creature was already severely injured prior to this and was burned by Ye Qingtang's black flame when it was defenseless…

Now that the Blood Moon Elder succeeded in possessing it, he was fully bonded with the demonic creature's body.

It would be weird if he did not feel pain.

"Eat this." Ye Qingtang took out a bottle of healing elixir from her space ring and tossed it to Blood Moon Elder.

After getting hold of it, the Blood Moon Elder poured all of its contents down his throat.

However, this healing elixir did not seem to be effective on his new body and could only relieve a slight amount of the excruciating pain all over his body.

Ye Qingtang's healing elixir was merely targeted towards Yin Yang Perfected Lord figures while this demonic creature's skills were way beyond the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm; thus, this elixir did not have any special use for the Blood Moon Elder.

The Blood Moon Elder sat on the ground cross-legged and used his own powers to heal himself.

It had to be said that not only did this demonic creature's body possess perfect defense, but its healing powers were extremely shocking as well: in less than an hour, it had already healed thirty to forty percent.

"Puff… puff…" The Blood Moon Elder panted heavily. "Holy Lady, this demonic creature's body is really insanely powerful…"

"It's good that you like it." Ye Qingtang looked at the Blood Moon Elder and chuckled.

Blood Moon Elder immediately checked himself out and eventually wore a helpless expression. Apart from powerful skills, he was nothing at all…

"Oh right… Holy Lady, I think that I can hide in the You Ancient Clan…" Blood Moon Elder suddenly whispered to Ye Qingtang.

After hearing that, Ye Qingtang frowned slightly.

Although this was a good idea, it was too risky. If You Ancient Clan grew suspicious… the Blood Moon Elder would be in an extremely dangerous situation.

"It's too risky," Ye Qingtang said after contemplation.

"Holy Lady, this mainland is about to be wiped out, and I view myself as a part of this mainland. If the You Ancient Clan had their way, all living beings on this mainland would die… It is extremely dangerous no matter where we are. Instead, it is better to initiate a strike. If I conceal myself in the You Ancient Clan, at least we can obtain information on the You Ancient Clan and their next step… It is easier to fight them this way!" The Blood Moon Elder said rather agitatedly.

Looking at the Blood Moon Elder's persistence, Ye Qingtang, however, felt like laughing.

Tracing back to when they first met, who would have thought that there would be a day where the once brutal Blood Moon Elder would actually sacrifice himself for the common people?

1139 Shell 1

Ultimately, Ye Qingtang gave in and allowed the Blood Moon Elder to do as he wanted.

…

At the same time, dozens of miles away.

Two immensely good-looking men stood in the air silently.

A blood-colored long robe swayed in the wind as a pair of cold eyes landed on Han Cangming.

"Han Cangming, you could have stayed out of this," the Blood Moon Holy Lord said without emotions after a while.

Han Cangming was silent.

"I'm very curious. Are you really the Demon God, Han Cangming?" A long time later, Blood Moon Holy Lord asked once again though he looked at Han Cangming with suspicion and confusion.

Han Cangming was known as the Demon God, but everyone knew that he was not a demon. It was just that his intellect was demon-like; thus, people named him as the Demon God.

Although Han Cangming's martial skills were Emperor-level, it was slightly inferior when compared to other Emperor-level figures.

What people were afraid of in Han Cangming was not his cultivation base but his intellect. Compared to his intelligence, his Emperor-level skills were nothing at all.

However, the current Han Cangming was not the one in the Blood Moon Holy Lord's memory.

The Han Cangming before seemed to be a completely different person.

"Han Cangming… Ye Qingtang's death is also greatly beneficial to you," the Blood Moon Holy Lord said coldly when he saw that Han Cangming had yet to respond.

"No." Han Cangming narrowed his eyes and ultimately spoke. "My heart is in her body."

"Heart…" Blood Moon Holy Lord's eyes flickered. "So you believe that the heart in Ye Qingtang's body is yours?"

Han Cangming did not reply, but his silence seemed to verify the Blood Moon Holy Lord's question.

"As a Demon God who has a demon intellect… since when did you become an idiot?" The Blood Moon Holy Lord looked at the silent Han Cangming, and his suspicions intensified.

"You don't have any ability to think independently. Are you really Han Cangming?"

Han Cangming's brows furrowed slightly.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, without any warning at all, the Blood Moon Holy Lord formed a strange print with his palm. A blood-colored bolt of lightning appeared in the sky and struck down at Han Cangming.

Han Cangming reacted swiftly and immediately descended to the ground, avoiding the Blood Moon Holy Lord's fatal blow.

However, when Han Cangming landed on the ground, two blood-colored metal chains shot out from the ground and trapped Han Cangming tightly.

"As expected…"

The Blood Moon Holy Lord landed on the ground with his hands behind him a while later.

"I formed two remarkable skills just now. The first was a seal that activated from the ground while the second was a small Heavenly Tribulation that activated from the sky. You only saw the small Heavenly Tribulation but was unable to think of the sealed boundary on the ground…" The Blood Moon Holy Lord looked at Han Cangming and said.

Han Cangming was emotionless and did not understand what the Blood Moon Holy Lord was saying.

"So… you're only a shell that acts instinctively… without any thinking ability at all." Blood Moon Holy Lord's eyes glistened. "What a joke. I fought with a shell for so long."

Only an Emperor-level figure could slip away by withdrawing his soul to be reborn and leave his shell behind to trick the world…

The so-called shell only had the Emperor-level figure's instinctive thinking and did not possess any consciousness or emotions, including independent thinking. It was merely a power storehouse.

1140 Shell 2

"Ha…" An icy smile appeared on Blood Moon Holy Lord's face. "Withdrawing your soul and leaving your body behind… Han Cangming… this lives up to your name as the Demon God…"

However, just as Blood Moon Holy Lord spoke, the sealed Han Cangming suddenly flashed a wicked smile. The pair of distant eyes were now coated by a devilish charm, and even his cold face was more devilish now!

It was as if Han Cangming's demeanor changed completely in an instant.

Han Cangming's eyes slowly landed on Blood Moon Holy Lord as he laughed lightly. "Heavenly Brother, it's not too nice to bully my shell like this, isn't it?"

"You're here…" Blood Moon Holy Lord sized up Han Cangming once again when he heard that familiar tone.

"After knowing what happened to you back then, I've already predicted that I would be next. Thus, I withdrew my soul to be reincarnated. This body is only left behind to trick the Heavenly Dao. There's no need to be surprised," Han Cangming said with a laugh.

"Since that's the case, why did you instruct your shell to hinder me?" The Blood Moon Holy Lord asked coldly.

"Heavenly Brother… You should know that the Heart of the Heavenly Dao has not been nurtured successfully and will be reincarnated endlessly. What can you do even if you kill Ye Qingtang today? After Ye Qingtang dies, she will be reincarnated once again, and she would still become a new holder until the Heart of the Heavenly Dao is nurtured successfully. Otherwise, there is no end." Han Cangming answered.

"If that's the case, I'll kill her every time she is reincarnated," said the Blood Moon Holy Lord.

"But Ye Qingtang is innocent," Han Cangming said with a smile.

"Innocent?" Blood Moon Holy Lord's eyes turned cold. "The Heart of the Heavenly Dao is in her body, and she is a holder. If I kill her, the owner of the Heart of the Heavenly Dao will have wasted his efforts and can only let her be reincarnated again to become a new holder. This is my revenge on the Heavenly Dao… Furthermore, she will live a desolate life even if she lives. Why not die and not have to suffer?"

"Hahaha…" Han Cangming laughed suddenly, but his eyes turned extremely cold at that instant.

"Heavenly Brother, I think that you're too full of yourself… You hate the owner of the Heart of the Heavenly Dao, but why must you put all the blame on Miss Ye?"

"You said that her being alive is suffering itself, but I feel that she is living very well. You think that this is being good do her, but have you ever asked about her opinion? Furthermore, you and Miss Ye don't seem to be related."

The Blood Moon Holy Lord was silent.

The woman he loved the most had already died a long time ago, and even if Ye Qingtang was the reincarnation of his most beloved woman, their souls were completely different…

They were two independent individuals…

The reincarnation of a dead person was totally different from the person before death—this was the law of the world.

As an Emperor-level figure, the Heavenly Emperor naturally understood this logic.

"Heavenly Brother… You treated that lady as your wife, but has she ever loved you? The only thing she cared about was martial power. She was even unwilling to give up on the Heart of the Heavenly Dao and believed that the Heart of the Heavenly Dao would bring her immense power. So be it if that kind of person dies. She is not worthy of such treatment from you," Han Cangming said.

The Blood Moon Holy Lord was silent.

As Han Cangming had said, although they were married by name, they were unlike husband and wife… It was such that even the woman he loved dearly had never loved him.

"So what!"

Two blood-colored light beams suddenly shot out of the Blood Moon Holy Lord's eyes.

In a flash, Han Cangming's body was penetrated by the blood-colored light beams.

"Han Cangming, don't let me find your original self… Or else… you'll be killed," Blood Moon Holy Lord said.

"You don't know how to appreciate favors."

Han Cangming broke free from the metal chains and fought the Blood Moon Holy Lord.

The deafening battle caused the ground to shake and mountains to collapse.

Thud!

Boom!

As a blood-colored shadow collided into a white body, a powerful wind was raked up in the sky.

In the next second, both Blood Moon Holy Lord and Han Cangming crashed down and made an extremely deep dent on the ground.

"Cough…"

Blood Moon Holy Lord had blood on the side of his lips as he slowly stood up from the dent.

Han Cangming was also severely injured.

Their skills could not be used to the best on this mainland and were highly restricted.

"Has the power of karma… also reached its maximum…" Han Cangming mumbled.

A while later, Ling Yan's soul disappeared from this body.

Han Cangming resumed his past aloofness. Seeing that he was heavily injured, he frowned and immediately bolted away in the horizon without a trace.

On a certain mountain peak in Central Mainland.

Ling Yan slowly opened his cold eyes.

"That's too risky, Ling Yan." The little azure dragon looked at Ling Yan and said.

"It's fine," Ling Yan said.

"It's fine?!" The little azure dragon scoffed coldly. "You use the power of karma to enter your body. Heavenly Emperor must have sensed it now… Alright, of course you aren't afraid of Heavenly Emperor, but what about the Heavenly Dao? Are you not afraid that the Heavenly Dao will sense it?"

"Heavenly Dao…" Ling Yan looked up at the sky, and his lips curled into an icy smile. "I'm afraid the Heavenly Dao has already become a Demon Dao now. Whether I'm afraid or not, it is something I'll have to face eventually."

"Ah…" The little azure dragon sighed. "I hope that the Heavenly Dao does not sense it. Otherwise, all your efforts will be wasted."

"Oh right, what happened to Heavenly Emperor? Have you defeated him?" The little azure dragon looked at Ling Yan and asked.

Ling Yan chuckled. "My body is wounded, but he is nowhere better either. He probably will not attack Miss Ye for the time being."

"What about… your body?" The little azure dragon asked curiously.

"It probably ran away," Ling Yan said and laughed.

"Ran away?" The little azure dragon was surprised.

"If it's me, I would instinctively escape first and find a place to recuperate if I see that I am injured. His instincts are mine too; thus, it should have fled." Ling Yan explained.

…

In Wind Cloud City.

As Ye Qingtang looked the Blood Moon Elder's huge, hideous, and horrifying body, she wanted to stay away from him for some reason.

"Holy Lady… can you give me some respect?" Blood Moon Elder put on a long face. "I know that I am a little ugly right now… but you can act a little at the very least…"

"…" Ye Qingtang stared at him blankly.

Was this "a little" ugly? This was simply too hideous to see…

"Is it really that scary?" Blood Moon Elder piled smiles on his face and looked at Ye Qingtang.

"It's better for you to not smile." Ye Qingtang shifted her gaze away instinctively as her eyes hurt.

She really wanted to take a mirror and let the Blood Moon Elder see how "unbearable" of a sight his smiling face was.

The Blood Moon Sect Elder stared at her. "…"

"Aren't the two of you too dizzy with success?"

All of a sudden, the little white tiger poked its head out from Ye Qingtang's arms and said, "Don't forget that the ten cities are connected. With the fall of Wind Cloud City and Sky Stars City, the You Ancient Clan will definitely be alarmed!"

Ye Qingtang's brows furrowed suddenly when she heard the little white tiger.

Ye Qingtang was surprised by the appearance of Blood Moon Holy Lord and Han Cangming, and she had forgotten about this issue…

Ye Qingtang took a look at the Blood Moon Elder and then turned around and walked out of the city.

However, before she could walk far, a cold voice suddenly filled the entire Wind Cloud City.

Ye Qingtang looked in the sky almost instinctively.

A middle-aged man in a long golden robe was standing in the air silently, exuding a frightening martial aura.

As Ye Qingtang looked up, the golden-robed man also looked down at Ye Qingtang at the same time.

"It seems that it's you who annihilated my two teams." The golden-robed man looked at Ye Qingtang and said without emotions.

"This is bad…"

Ye Qingtang frowned deeply as an inauspicious feeling surged within her.

This person's cultivation base was unfathomable. Even though this mainland could suppress a cultivator's cultivation base, the energy inside one's body was not suppressed.

For Ye Qingtang, her body was filled with primordial qi, but the gold-robed man in the air had already advanced from primordial qi to the force of a Heavenly Venerate.

To advance from primordial qi to the force of a Heavenly Venerate, one's martial realm had to at least be in the Heavenly Venerate realm.

Even if Ye Qingtang had a similar martial realm as the gold-robed man, Ye Qingtang was using primordial qi while the gold-robed man was using the force of a Heavenly Venerate. These two energies were on entirely different levels… A world of differences…

Ye Qingtang naturally knew that she did not have the slightest chance of victory when opposing the golden-robed man, who possessed the force of a Heavenly Venerate…

At this instant, Blood Moon Elder's fists were clenched tightly as a somber expression filled his eyes.

"Elder Yin Fo, I told you to guard Wind Cloud City and look after Sky Stars City back then… but is this your reply to me?" Suddenly, the golden-robed man looked at Blood Moon Elder and said coldly.

Blood Moon Elder was slightly taken aback by the gold-robed man's words. It was then when he suddenly remembered that his current identity was Elder Yin Fo of the You Ancient Clan…

"General, have mercy!!"

The Blood Moon Elder's eyes brightened. His huge body suddenly kneeled down with a fearful expression. "General… it's this lady. She lured me away from the base…"

The Blood Moon Elder knew that there were a few Generals and one Commander who came from the You Ancient Clan this time.

Logically speaking, the Captain would not appear easily; thus, this golden-robed man before him should be a general!

"Are you sure you want to find an excuse?" The golden-robed man asked.

Blood Moon Elder secretly sighed in relief. It seemed that he had guessed correctly; this gold-robed man was indeed a general.

"General… I am to blame… Please give me a chance. I will chop this lady into pieces… I will kill her!!" The Blood Moon Elder shouted sternly.

"What are you still waiting for then?" The golden-robed man said expressionlessly.

"Thank you for giving me a chance to amend my mistakes!"

The Blood Moon Elder stood up slowly before turning around to shoot a furious glare at Ye Qingtang and secretly gave her a wink.

"This lowly ant… I will kill you!!" The Blood Moon Elder hollered in rage.

"Can you do it?" Ye Qingtang noticed Blood Moon Elder's discreet action but did not give anything away from her expression.

"You have a death wish!" Then, the Blood Moon Elder threw a punch towards Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang's expression changed slightly after sensing the might from Blood Moon Elder's fist.

This Blood Moon Elder… was actually for real?!

Swoosh!

Ye Qingtang naturally did not dare to fight head-on and leaped away instantly, avoiding Blood Moon Elder's powerful punch that was sufficient to cause an earthquake.

"B*tch… do you only know how to escape?!"

The Blood Moon Elder shouted coldly when he failed to get her with the first strike.

Ye Qingtang unsheathed her sword and immediately slashed down at the Blood Moon Elder.

Nevertheless, the scarlet sword gleam only left a tiny scratch on the Blood Moon Elder's body.

"Am I actually so powerful… Too powerful… My unparalleled defense…" The Blood Moon Elder was shocked to see the tiny scratch on his body.

However, this was not the time for him to marvel at his might. He looked at Ye Qingtang and feigned viciousness.

"Lowly ant from this low-level mainland. You've angered me!"

Then, the Blood Moon Elder stamped a foot down at Ye Qingtang.

Noticing the situation, Ye Qingtang dashed ahead swiftly.

The Blood Moon Elder immediately chased after her.

At this instant, Blood Moon Elder's colossal frame rampaged through Wind Cloud City, and many buildings in the city collapsed from the collision as though it was a natural disaster.

Without turning back, Ye Qingtang had fled out of Wind Cloud City in no time.

"Do you only know how to run…"

The Blood Moon Elder pursued her with all his might and shouted thunderously.

Just like that, the two people gradually got far away from the city.

Until sometime later, near a spring at a mountain valley, the Blood Moon Elder shouted. "Holy Lady, stop running…"

Hearing that, Ye Qingtang turned around to see that the Blood Moon Elder was standing beside a spring and had stopped the chase.

"It seems that the You Ancient Clan's General did not chase over…" The Blood Moon Elder looked behind, and there was no sight of the golden-robed man.

With the two people singing the same tune and with one running and one chasing, they managed to bluff the golden-robed man.

Ye Qingtang also sighed in relief at the situation.

The You Ancient Clan General's martial skills were too domineering, and given Ye Qingtang's combat powers at the moment, she was not his opponent at all.

"What to do…"

Worry was etched across Blood Moon Elder's face. "The You Ancient Clan is too powerful in general. It is simply impossible to stop them with just a few of us…"

To oppose the You Ancient Clan's main force, this mainland required powerful figures who were around at least Yin Yang Perfected Lord Sixth Heaven and even the Yang Lord realm. Even a Yang Lord did not have much chance at winning against a general of the You Ancient Clan, and this was ignoring the fact that there was still another mysterious commander above the generals.

Ye Qingtang was the only Yang Lord in Falling Sky Valley. If those Yang Lords from Peerless School, Phantom Valley, and Beiming Manor joined forces, there was a possibility that they could contend against the You Ancient Clan's main force. But despite so, they could only fight against the main force, and there was still no way to deal with the three generals and commander.

"Return to Falling Sky Valley first."

Ye Qingtang looked at Blood Moon Elder and said.

Blood Moon Elder nodded. They could only return to Falling Sky Valley for now. It was already considered impressive for them to be able to take down two cities by chance on this trip.

However, before they could take any action, Blood Moon Elder's expression changed abruptly, and he glared at Ye Qingtang furiously. "This ant from a low-level mainland… Let me see where else can you flee to!"

After Blood Moon Elder finished his sentence, he threw a heavy punch at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang frowned slightly. Shifting her gaze a little, she saw that the golden-robed man was already floating above them and observing them.

This fellow actually came over?!

Ye Qingtang lamented deep down, but she knew that the show that she and Blood Moon Elder put up would not end soon.

Boom…

A deafening sound echoed in the mountain valley. Blood Moon Elder's fist missed the target and caused a huge dent in the ground.

"Humph!"

Suddenly, a loud scoff could be heard from above.

"General… I…"

Blood Moon Elder immediately kneeled with one knee on the ground and looked up into the sky.

"Elder Yin Fo, are you unable to defeat a Yang Lord from this low-level mainland?" The golden-robe man stared at Blood Moon Elder and questioned coldly.

"General… this lady's skills… are exceptional… Please give me some more time. I will definitely be able to capture her alive…" Blood Moon Elder said with cupped fists.

"Capture her alive?"

The gold-robed man said coldly, "What would I want you to capture her alive for!"

"Then… Then please wait a moment, General. I will definitely present her head to you!" Blood Moon Elder said hurriedly.

"Good-for-nothing!"

The golden-robed man waved his hand. "You can't even settle such a small matter properly… Get lost. I will do it myself."

"Noted…"

Blood Moon Elder retreated backward immediately and made a path for the golden-robed man.

Almost instantly, the gold-robed man landed on the ground slowly, and his cold eyes sized up Ye Qingtang. "Oh… I never expected that you are already in Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven at such a young age in this low-level mainland. It's indeed considered a miracle."

"So?" Ye Qingtang said coldly.

"Haha." The gold-robed man chuckled. "I cherish talents. You are pretty gifted in martial cultivation. If you are willing to join and serve the You Ancient Clan for life, I can consider giving you a way out and spare your life. What do you think?"

Ye Qingtang sneered in her heart after hearing what the golden-robed man said.

While what he said sounded nice, putting it plainly, he was merely telling her to become a slave of the You Ancient Clan.

However… Ye Qingtang had never thought of turning her back against this mainland that she grew up in and joining the so-called You Ancient Clan just to keep her own life.

"What happens if I refuse?" A cold glint flashed across her eyes as Ye Qingtang looked at the gold-robed man.

"Refuse…"

Ye Qingtang's reply caught the gold-robed man by surprise.

In the past, their Ancient You Clan annexed low-level mainlands, and the powerful talents from these mainlands fought to become a slave for the Ancient You Clan to protect their lives. Yet, this lady from a low-level mainland actually wanted to refuse this offer?!

"Haha… Of course, the Ancient You Clan will not force you for such matters… However, if you're unwilling to join, then you are an enemy, and since you're an enemy, the only route is to die!" Afterward, an overpowering force appeared and enveloped Ye Qingtang in it.

Ye Qingtang pondered after feeling the golden-robed man's aura.

His martial skills were at least in the Heavenly Venerate realm, and he possessed the power of a Heavenly Venerate. Furthermore, even though coming to this mainland would reduce his cultivation realm, he was still at the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven while she was merely an ordinary Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven.

Regardless of martial realm or the source of energy in the body, Ye Qingtang was inferior to this golden-robed man.

If they fought, the chance of her winning would be less than twenty percent even if she used all her cards…

If they did what Ling Yan said and left Wind Cloud City earlier from the start, she and Blood Moon Holy Lord would not meet this golden-robed man. However, the Blood Moon Holy Lord's appearance completely disrupted Ye Qingtang's momentum, and she could not retreat early as per Ling Yan's plan…

"If I join forces with Blood Moon Elder, the chance of winning is only about thirty percent…" Ye Qingtang estimated in her heart.

A thirty percent chance of winning was still too dangerous, and even if she could really win, injuries were unavoidable. However, Ye Qingtang was at least forty percent confident that she could escape. Since Blood Moon Elder wanted to enter the Ancient You Clan's headquarters, there was no need to bother with him, and the success rate of fleeing alone would be much higher.

"It seems that you ants from this low-level mainland have a backbone… However, the price of having a backbone is to pay it with your life!"

As the golden-robed man spoke, he swung a palm out.

The power of a Heavenly Venerate rampaged through the place and slashed toward Ye Qingtang forcefully.

However, at this instant, the Blood Moon Elder who was standing behind the golden-robed man acted, and his eyes twinkled dangerously.

"Swoosh!"

The moment when the gold-robed man launched his attack, the Blood Moon Elder suddenly smashed his fist at him.

Sensing the frightening force that was coming in his way, the golden-robed man was slightly startled, and he looked behind instinctively.

However, what entered his eyes was a metal fist that was comparable to a small mountain peak.

The golden-robed man did not have any defense against the Blood Moon Elder. Caught off-guard, he got hit by the Blood Moon Elder's punch that was thrown with all his might.

A deafening sound erupted, and the golden-robed man was subsequently buried under the Blood Moon Elder's fist.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!

As Blood Moon Elder's punch landed, the ground shattered, and the numerous cracks on the ground extended out like little snakes.

"Hahaha, idiots of Ancient You Clan. This person is a general with such a brain. Looks like I can be the Clan Master of your Ancient You Clan!"

The Blood Moon Elder guffawed when he succeeded with one strike.

This new body was truly beyond Blood Moon Elder's imagination. Apart from perfect defense, it also had an exceptional perfect strength.

Ye Qingtang was surprised by Blood Moon Elder's sudden "rebellion".

Although she knew that the Blood Moon Elder would definitely wait for an opportunity to attack, his timing was rather unexpected.

What Ye Qingtang was more surprised was that this golden-robed man was completely unsuspecting of "Elder Yin Fo". Otherwise, if he had any guard up against Blood Moon Elder, given his skills, Blood Moon Elder would definitely not be able to succeed with one strike.

However, it was almost too unrealistic to kill that golden-robed man with just one punch from Blood Moon Elder.

"Elder… Yin Fo!"

Suddenly, a bone-curdling cold voice that had a trace of anger sounded from the ground.

Boom!

Before their naked eyes, the ground exploded, and the golden-robed man emerged from underground. His golden Chinese robe was stained with dust, and there was a glaring trace of blood on the corner of his lips, making him appear rather miserable.

"Even this can't kill you?"

The Blood Moon Elder looked in disbelief at the golden-robed man with a perplexed expression.

The Blood Moon Elder currently had full confidence in the powers of his new body. Although his recent punch was not earth-shattering, it should have no problem crushing a few powerful cultivators. Further, the golden-robed man was caught off guard and received the full force of the blow!

However…

Who would have thought that this golden-robed man could still survive after receiving the full force of this blow!

"Elder Yin Fo… you… dare to betray… the You Clan?!" The golden-robed man said sternly to Blood Moon Elder with eyes completely devoid of expression.

When he heard the golden-robed man's words, Blood Moon Elder's expression immediately changed. He waved his hand repeatedly. "Lord General… you are mistaken… what happened just now was a misunderstanding… my blow was meant to crush that girl into dust… who knew that Lord General would rush over so swiftly… and block my fist…"

When he heard Blood Moon Elder's nonsense, a cold light glittered in the golden-robed man's eyes. "Are you… taking me for a fool?"

"No, no, Lord General. Even if I had the nerve, I would not dare to offend you. I would certainly not dare to betray the Ancient You Clan… If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate again…" With that, Blood Moon Elder threw another punch without giving the golden-robed man any chance to react.

The golden-robed man would never have imagined that this "Elder Yin Fo" would actually throw another punch at him and was caught completely off guard. He was sent flying by the oncoming fist!

The Blood Moon Elder's punch was extremely fast and instantly sent the golden-robed man flying.

A few hundred meters away, a mountain peak collapsed under the impact of the golden-robed man's body.

This time, even Ye Qingtang, who was standing nearby, was completely bewildered, not to speak of the golden-robed man, who had been ambushed twice in rapid succession…

"Hahahaha, I've always said that with your brains, why are you the general… Brat, veterans always have the advantage. You are just too inexperienced. Haha!" The Blood Moon Elder burst out laughing.

When she saw the Blood Moon Elder's smug look, Ye Qingtang really wanted to go up and slap him.

Considering the terrifying strength that Blood Moon Elder's current body possessed, the golden-robed man was completely within his control. He could curb the golden-robed man's movements, and together with Ye Qingtang's destructive black flame, the two of them working in tandem could certainly kill the golden-robed man on the spot…

However, the Blood Moon Elder had missed two wonderful opportunities…

Such great opportunities to kill the golden-robed old man, but the Blood Moon Elder had only… given him two punches…

"Hahahahaha!" Having succeeded twice, the Blood Moon Elder laughed loudly and turned to Ye Qingtang, his face filled with pride. In a smug tone, he loudly said, "Holy Lady, I think we have overestimated the general of the Ancient You Clan!"

When she heard the Blood Moon Elder's words, Ye Qingtang could not help but rub her forehead. She wanted to say something but was interrupted by Blood Moon Elder. "Holy Lady, we don't need to flee. If we work together, we can kill this general… No, in fact, we don't need to work together. I myself can kill him!"

When Ye Qingtang looked at the smug Blood Moon Elder, she could not summon up even half a smile.

The situation was not as simple as the Blood Moon Elder had assumed…

If the Blood Moon Elder's new body was also in the Heavenly Venerate realm, then perhaps he could really do as he said. If his body possessed the same power as a Heavenly Venerate, he could just use the brute strength of his powerful body and bludgeon the golden-robed man to death. Unfortunately, Ye Qingtang had yet to detect a Heavenly Venerate's power in the Blood Moon Elder's body. They could only depend on this body's brute strength to crush the golden-robed man to death if they captured him. But Blood Moon Elder had already missed the opportunity to capture the golden-robed man. As long as the golden-robed man was not an idiot, he would certainly not give Blood Moon Elder another chance.

Thud!

The mountain peak ahead suddenly exploded, and an after-image of golden light flashed across the void.

The golden-robed old man was floating in mid-air, looking at Blood Moon Elder sinisterly.

"Elder Yin Fo… you… have indeed betrayed the You Clan… do you know what happens to those who betray the You Clan." The golden-robed man glared at Blood Moon Elder and said coldly.

"Hahaha!"

When he heard the golden-robed old man's words, Blood Moon Elder laughed coldly. He said arrogantly, "Since when have I betrayed the You Clan… It's just that I can't stand the sight of you. I feel that I am much more powerful than you… You should give your position as General of the Ancient You Clan to me instead… How about this, I'll kill you today and take your place as General of the Ancient You Clan. What do you think?"

When he heard Blood Moon Elder's words, the golden-robed man's expression became rather puzzled.

At first, the golden-robed man had felt that it did not make sense for Elder Yin Fo to suddenly betray him.

Logically, it was improbable that Elder Yin Fo would betray the Ancient You Clan, and he had no reason to become a traitor.

But… the golden-robed man felt it was more likely that Elder Yin Fo was merely ambitious and wanted to become the general because he disliked him.

"So you are competing with me for the generalship." The golden-robed man laughed coldly.

"Why, am I not powerful enough to take your place as general? I think there should be no problem. Are your fists as big as mine?" Blood Moon Elder waved his right arm, and an iron-hard fist, as big as a small mountain, waved in front of the golden-robed man.

Swoosh!

Without any warning, the Blood Moon Elder suddenly grabbed at the golden-robed man.

However, the golden-robed man was prepared. His body flickered, and he immediately dodged.

The golden-robed man was aware of the terrifying strength that Elder Yin Fo's body possessed. Even he would suffer disastrous consequences if Elder Yin Fo caught him in his hands.

"Elder Yin Fo, you have a death wish."

The golden-robed man dodged Blood Moon Elder's blow and stood proudly in the void.

"Hahahaha, little one, we are in different realms. Also, my body is much more powerful than yours. On what basis do you oppose me?!" The Blood Moon Elder laughed loudly and uncontrollably.

When he heard the Blood Moon Elder's words, the golden-robed man said blandly, "In this mainland, all realms are the same… however, the ultimate source of strength in one's body can be of different qualities."

As the golden-robed man finished speaking, a wild wind started to blow within the void. Ripples started to appear, accompanied by the suffocating power of a Heavenly Venerate.

When he felt the force of a Heavenly Venerate, the Blood Moon Elder's expression immediately changed. It was as if his body was being crushed by the Heavenly Mountain that had fallen from the Ninth Heaven.

Boom!

The earth under Blood Moon Elder's feet instantly shattered, and his upright body was forced to bend under the oppressive power of a Heavenly Venerate.

1148 You Are Thinking Too Much 3

"This…"

At that moment, the Blood Moon Elder looked frightened. The power of his new body was unable to withstand the oppressive force of the golden-robed man's aura!

"Do you still want to be general?"

The golden-robed man stood in the void. His bland gaze fell on the Blood Moon Elder, and he spoke coldly.

However, before the Blood Moon Elder could speak, Ye Qingtang drew her sword.

The crimson sword glow seemed to pierce the horizon as it slashed straight at the golden-robed man.

Although the golden-robed man was powerful, the strength of his body could not be compared with that of the Blood Moon Elder.

When Ye Qingtang's sword struck the Blood Moon Elder's body, it had no effect. But if it struck the golden-robed man's body, even with the protection of his Heavenly Venerate powers, he would probably be uncomfortable.

Swoosh!

An ear-splitting noise rang out, and in the next instant, the golden-robed man transformed into a shadow and vanished.

Boom!

The crimson sword glow struck by Ye Qingtang extended for a distance of ten meters, and its aftershock completely destroyed a mountain peak.

"A meaningless struggle."

The golden-robed man's figure appeared again. His inky black hair blew in the wind. He looked down on Ye Qingtang like a supreme master.

"Kneel!"

The golden-robed man's Heavenly Venerate power rushed forth again and crushed Ye Qingtang.

Boom!

At that moment, Ye Qingtang was trying to withstand enormous pressure. Her body felt as if it weighed a ton, and it instantly crushed the ground under her feet.

At that moment, a black mist shrouded Ye Qingtang's body, and the power of the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline rushed forth. It frantically devoured the golden-robed man's Heavenly Venerate power.

A pity that Ye Qingtang's Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline was not of sufficiently high level, or it could instantly and completely devour the golden-robed man's ultimate source of strength and convert it for her own use.

"Oh…"

When the golden-robed man saw the black mist that surfaced around Ye Qingtang's body, he could not help but frown. "Heavenly Demon Bloodline… Are you a member of the Jiang Family?"

The power of the Heavenly Demon Bloodline was unique to the family of Central Mainland's Domain Monarch. Only members of the Jiang Family had the Heavenly Demon Bloodline. When he recognized the Heavenly Demon Bloodline in Ye Qingtang's body, the golden-robed man assumed that she was a member of the Jiang Family.

When she heard that, Ye Qingtang rolled her eyes. It looked as if the golden-robed man of the Ancient You Clan had assumed she was part of the Central Mainland Domain Monarch's family after seeing that she possessed the Heavenly Demon's bloodline.

Ye Qingtang did not correct his mistake but laughed coldly and said, "Since you know I am part of Central Mainland's Domain Monarch's family, how dare you act so impetuously!"

When he heard that, the golden-robed man said expressionlessly, "The Ancient You Clan has never had anything to do with the Jiang Family. It was you who was too impolite. Even the Domain Monarch himself might not dare to act like that… Since you have violated the terms of peace between the two tribes, I will kill you and send your head to the Domain Monarch."

Before Ye Qingtang could continue speaking, the golden-robed man's expression suddenly changed, and he swiftly hid himself somewhere in the distance.

Thud!

The place where the golden-robed man was standing suddenly contracted. At the peak of its contraction, it violently exploded.

If the golden-robed man had fled a little slower, he would have been crushed by the force of the distorted space.

"Who is it? Since you are here, why not show yourself?" The golden-robed man spoke coldly with a stern expression.

Just as the golden-robed man finished speaking, a white-robed old man suddenly appeared in the void.

"Space Technique…"

The golden-robed man frowned deeply as he looked at the old man standing casually nearby.

1149 Ultimate Elder 1

"Space Technique…"

The golden-robed man frowned deeply as he looked at the old man standing casually nearby.

The Space Technique was one of the most powerful and mysterious forces. Legend had it that when cultivated to the highest level, the Space Technique allowed one to manipulate space at will. Within the span of a single breath, one could traverse a distance of ten thousand miles…

"The Ultimate Elder…"

Blood Moon Elder shuddered when he saw the new arrival. This white-haired old man dressed in white robes was certainly the Ultimate Elder…

"That old pervert… his power is comparable to that of the Holy Lord… he may even be more powerful than the Holy Lord in some aspects…" Blood Moon Elder looked at the Ultimate Elder in shock.

Although the Blood Moon Holy Lord was the spiritual incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, the power of the Blood Moon Holy Lord could be said to be unrivaled in this mainland…

But this Ultimate Elder had been fighting the Blood Moon Holy Lord for years, from which one could deduce how powerful he was.

"Hey… little girl, haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

The Ultimate Elder's gaze suddenly fell on Ye Qingtang.

"You haven't just seen me before… Once, you used a force seal and frightened my thousand-league horse until it stiffened up and couldn't move." The corners of Ye Qingtang's mouth twitched.

The Ultimate Elder was one of the three legendary powerful cultivators in this mainland. Besides him, there was the Pagoda Sword Master, who had left this mainland long ago, and the Blood Moon Holy Lord.

But this Ultimate Elder could be said to be "devoted" to the Blood Moon Holy Lord. For many years, he had hunted him without giving up.

"Oh… is that so…" When he heard that, Ultimate Elder propped his chin on his hands and thought for a while. Then he suddenly slapped his thigh…"That's right, I remember now… I was hunting the Blood Moon Holy Lord at that time…"

"…"

The moment he mentioned the Blood Moon Holy Lord, Ye Qingtang felt her head ache.

So it was that younger brother she had picked up along the way that had turned into an Invincible Slayer…

This Ultimate Elder was certainly very "clear" about things related to the Blood Moon Holy Lord.

When the golden-robed man saw the Ultimate Elder chatting with Ye Qingtang as if no one else existed, he felt neglected. His expression darkened, and he glared at the Ultimate Elder and said, "Lord, are you overlooking something."

When the Ultimate Elder heard that, he turned and studied the golden-robed man.

"You… are the invader of Central Mainland?"

Although Ultimate Elder came and went as he pleased, he had noticed that Central Mainland had been invaded.

"You can interpret it that way if you like," said the golden-robed man.

"Did you ask my permission before entering this mainland?" asked the Ultimate Elder.

"We of the Ancient You Clan do not have the habit of consulting dead people." The golden-robed man laughed coldly.

Before the Ultimate Elder could continue speaking, the power of a Heavenly Venerate rushed forth. It swiftly sealed the area and pressed down towards the Ultimate Elder.

When he saw that, a cold light shone in Ultimate Elder's eyes. He raised his right hand and pointed at the void in front of him.

The next second, they could see that the surrounding space rapidly twist, as if heaven and earth were exchanging places. The golden-robed man's Heavenly Venerate powers were largely absorbed by the twisted space.

"Ah… Ah… I didn't expect this mainland to have a powerful cultivator who understands the Space Technique… not bad." The golden-robed man looked at the Ultimate Elder, and his lips curved upwards. "This is interesting. Otherwise, this excursion to exterminate this mainland would be too boring."

"Enough nonsense. Let's fight to the death."

Ultimate Elder etched out a symbol with his hand, and the twisted space started to press towards golden-robed man.

A strange lotus-shaped demonic flame suddenly surfaced around the golden-robed man and burned the surrounding space.

"Extraordinary Flame…"

When he saw that, the Ultimate Elder frowned slightly.

Before the Ultimate Elder had time to think, the golden-robed man had already escaped the twisted space. He pointed at the Ultimate Elder.

When he saw that, the Ultimate Elder grunted coldly and also reached out with his finger.

When the two fingers met, an earth-shattering explosion rang out.

As she watched the fight between the Ultimate Elder and the golden-robed man, Ye Qingtang swiftly concluded that the Ultimate Elder and golden-robed man were both powerful cultivators at the same level.

Like the golden-robed man, the Ultimate Elder possessed the power of a Heavenly Venerate. Apart from that, he had also cultivated the extremely mysterious Space Technique.

This Ultimate Elder had lived for many years in this mainland. If not for the lack of spirit energy in this mainland, he would have already become a powerful cultivator in the realm of a Holy Venerate. It was already a miracle that he had forcibly cultivated the power of a Holy Venerate while in the realm of Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

At that moment, Ye Qingtang could see that the Ultimate Elder was not losing to the golden-robed man. As he raised his hands, space ripped and poured out wildly like rain, forcing the golden-robed man to retreat.

"Not bad. Carry on." A burning luster surfaced in the golden-robed man's eyes. He laughed wildly as his entire person immediately shot skywards.

"Chaotic Fury!"

At that instant, an Extraordinary Flame in the shape of a lotus flower surfaced around the golden-robed man. He pointed at the sky and laughed coldly.

As the golden-robed man spoke, endless flames rapidly fell from the void above.

"Devour Space!"

When he saw that, the Ultimate Elder right hand forcefully grabbed at the void.

The next second, the space within a radius of a hundred meters was torn, and black holes appeared. All the flames were absorbed into them.

"Space Return!"

The Ultimate Elder's finger dabbed lightly in front of him, and the lotus-shaped Extraordinary Flame that had been absorbed by the twisted space now rushed towards the golden-robed man.

"Good, good, good… this is interesting." The golden-robed man's lips arched upwards. The lotus-shaped Extraordinary Flames that had surfaced around him absorbed the Extraordinary Flames that were heading for him in all directions.

"You are truly powerful. If you were not limited by the spirit energy in this realm, you would probably be powerful enough to fight me. A pity that you will die here today." The golden-robed man laughed coldly.

Swoosh!

Before the Ultimate Elder could speak, Ye Qingtang flicked numerous crimson flames towards him.

In the void, the crimson flames soon transformed into the color of black ink.

"You think too highly of yourself."

When he saw that, a trace of disdain surfaced in the golden-robed man's eyes. Compared to his lotus-shaped Extraordinary Flame, the power of all flames were futile.

The golden-robed man waved his right arm, and a tongue of lotus-shaped Extraordinary Flame rushed forth.

But to the shock of the golden-robed man, the black flames instantly devoured his lotus-shaped Extraordinary Flame.

Boom, boom!!

There was a loud crash as the black flames that were filled with the aura of extermination exploded.

The golden-robed man was too close and was caught off-guard. The aftershock of the black flames' explosion forced him to retreat by dozens of meters.

"Extraordinary Flame?!"

The golden-robed man looked at Ye Qingtang in some surprise.

1151 Ultimate Elder 3

The golden-robed man had assumed that the black flames Ye Qingtang displayed were merely ordinary fire-elemental cultivation techniques. He had not imagined that they were actually Extraordinary Flames…

"What kind of Extraordinary Flame is this…"

The golden-robed man frowned with a rather puzzled expression.

In this world, there were a total of three thousand types of Extraordinary Flames. Besides the dozen Divine Extraordinary Flames that, according to legends, only the gods possessed, he knew all the other Extraordinary Flames. But he could not recognize the Extraordinary Flame that Ye Qingtang displayed.

Even Ye Qingtang herself did not know the name of this Extraordinary Flame, much less the golden-robed man.

When Ye Qingtang had understood the Ultimate Origin Skill, this Extraordinary Flame already existed. Later, when Ye Qingtang inherited the Divine Phoenix's Bloodline, the Extraordinary Flame in her body had perfectly integrated with the Divine Phoenix's Bloodline. After that, Ye Qingtang had coincidentally obtained the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline, and then her Extraordinary Flame had transformed into a deep black color, and its power had become even more aggressive.

To be honest, Ye Qingtang's Extraordinary Flame could not be considered as an orthodox Extraordinary Flame but was a mutated Extraordinary Flame. With the Ultimate Origin Skill as its basis, it integrated with the Divine Phoenix's Bloodline and the Heavenly Demon Bloodline to form an entirely new type of Extraordinary Flame.

"Little girl, this Extraordinary Flame of yours is really something." The Ultimate Elder stared at the black flames that had surfaced around Ye Qingtang as he spoke.

"How many types of Extraordinary Flames are you familiar with?" Ye Qingtang asked.

"Oh… I know about burning firewood but not too much about Extraordinary Flames." The Ultimate Elder thought for a while before replying.

This reply rendered Ye Qingtang speechless. She had thought the Ultimate Elder was an expert and wanted to ask him about the reason behind mutated Extraordinary Flames…

"You have a death wish!"

The golden-robed man suddenly bellowed in rage. His entire person transformed into an after-image, and he swiftly arrived at Ye Qingtang's side. He raised his right hand and struck at her with a terrifying force.

"Hmph, you aren't showing me any respect!" When he saw what was going on, the Ultimate Elder grunted coldly. He crooked his fingers, and the void next to Ye Qingtang suddenly twisted and swallowed Ye Qingtang up.

Boom!

With a deafening sound, the golden-robed man's blow missed its mark. Ye Qingtang, who had been right in front of him, suddenly vanished completely.

At the same time, the space next to the Ultimate Elder suddenly started to ripple, and Ye Qingtang's figure appeared.

"Hahaha, little girl, isn't this fun." The Ultimate Elder laughed and said to Ye Qingtang.

"Thank you for your help." Ye Qingtang cupped her fists and thanked the Ultimate Elder.

This Ultimate Elder's Space Technique was truly extraordinary. Even at Ye Qingtang's peak, she had seldom seen the Space Technique being displayed.

However, the Ultimate Elder's Space Technique had been cultivated to a very high level. He could exchange spaces and move them across a distance of a thousand miles. It was truly unparalleled.

Before the Ultimate Elder could say anything, Ye Qingtang's expression suddenly changed, and she involuntarily looked behind her.

Swoosh!

…

Whiz!

Many ear-splitting noises could be heard, and a few moments later, more and more after-images surfaced in the void above.

Two middle-aged men arrived in the nearby void.

One of them was wearing a long black robe. He looked aged and wrinkled, and his left eye was blind.

The other was wearing a long green robe. He was extraordinarily handsome, with waist-length bright red hair. A heavy sword was tied to his back with a white cloth.

"General You Tong… General You Ming, you're too late," said the golden-robed man.

When he heard that, the green-robed man, who was called You Tong, laughed remotely and said, "General You Jin, can't you deal with the ants in this inferior mainland yourself?"

"This is the girl who destroyed Sky Stars City and Wind Cloud City," You Ming, the other black-robed man, said. His remaining eye fell on Ye Qingtang.

Behind the two generals were many powerful cultivators from the Ancient You Clan. Most of them were at the level of Yang Lord.

"Ah ah, this old man is quite powerful, and his skills are comparable to mine. Also, Elder Yin Fo tried to kill me and seize my generalship. I was attacked from all sides just now," the golden-robed man said laughingly.

When he heard that, the green-robed man, You Tong, looked at the Ultimate Elder.

In an instant, You Tong's eyes turned blood-red. His pupils slowly turned as if they contained everything in the universe.

With just one look, Ultimate Elder shuddered.

"Illusion?!"

When she saw what was happening, Ye Qingtang's expression changed. This green-robed man's eyes belonged to some bloodline and were extremely terrifying!

"He is under my control… However, this old man has great mental strength… General You Jin, I cannot last for long. Go and kill him," said the green-robed man, You Tong.

When he heard that, the golden-robed man's lips curled slightly upwards. The frightening lotus-shaped Extraordinary Flame surfaced in his hand, and he threw it at the Ultimate Elder's brow.

"This is bad…"

Ye Qingtang immediately used her mutated Extraordinary Flame. Her entire body was instantly filled with black flames, and she was poised to rescue the Ultimate Elder.

However, before Ye Qingtang could act, they heard a swooshing noise. Thousands of sword glints fell like rain from the void.

At that moment, there was a surge of sword breath, and sword silhouettes could be seen everywhere. The entire area seemed to turn into a country of swords.

The golden-robed man was blasted by the sword glints and forced back by a few dozen steps.

A golden sword glint surfaced in the void.

The golden-robed man narrowed his eyes when he saw the golden sword glint.

The golden sword glint rapidly transformed into an old man in a cotton robe.

"Humph!"

When the old man saw the Ultimate Elder, he grunted loudly. The Ultimate Elder immediately opened his eyes.

"We haven't met for a long time. You're getting weaker." The old man looked at the Ultimate Elder and said coldly.

"You…" When he saw the old man, the Ultimate Elder looked rather surprised. "Pagoda Sword Master…"

When she heard that, Ye Qingtang was also taken aback. Legend had it that this old man was the most powerful cultivator in this mainland… but he had left many years ago… Pagoda Sword Master…

Legend had it that the Pagoda Sword Master had become renowned when he was young. He had defeated all the powerful cultivators in this mainland. The Ultimate Elder and the Blood Moon Holy Lord had cooperated to fight the Pagoda Sword Master, but they had also lost…

Of course, the Blood Moon Holy Lord was only the spiritual incarnation of the Heavenly Emperor and not the Heavenly Emperor himself. No matter how powerful the Pagoda Sword Master was, there was probably still a gap between him and an especially strong cultivator like the Heavenly Emperor.

Of course, Ye Qingtang did not know how powerful the Pagoda Sword Master currently was.

"Everyone, please show me some respect and leave this mainland." The Pagoda Sword Master swept a glance at the golden-robed old man and the three generals as he spoke.

"I'm afraid you don't deserve such respect." The green-robed man, You Tong, laughed coldly.

"We are the Ancient You Clan. We want to exterminate this mainland and take away something that belongs to our clan… But how about this, if you are willing to join the Ancient You Clan, we will let you live," The golden-robed man said.

"In that case, more words are futile. Let us fight." As the Pagoda Sword Master spoke, two frightening beams of sword breath burst forth from his eyes and swept towards the group from the Ancient You Clan.

1153 Pagoda Sword Master 2

At this instant, the You Ancient Clan people attacked immediately and formed several prints with their palms.

Subsequently, an almost-substantive screen appeared in the air and trapped everyone in it.

The sword aura that shot out from Pagoda Sword Master's eyes immediately slashed the screen, and a deafening noise erupted.

"Humph!"

Ultimate Elder scoffed loudly, and he leaned forward, twisting the surrounding space. The sword shadow that Pagoda Sword Master slashed out entered the twisted space, and the next time the sword shadow appeared, it was already thrust into the screen by the twisted space.

"Puff!"

Several You Ancient Clan disciples had their necks slit by the Pagoda Sword Master's sword shadow and died at the scene.

Almost instantly, the three Generals of You Ancient Clan leaped toward Ultimate Elder and Pagoda Sword Master, causing an overpowering aura to fill the air.

In just the blink of an eye, both sides were locked in a battle.

Seeing that the battle was increasing in violence, the Blood Moon Elder quietly walked to Ye Qingtang's side and whispered softly. "Holy Lady… Let's run first!"

They originally thought that they would definitely die, but unexpectedly, Ultimate Elder and even Pagoda Sword Master, who had disappeared from this mainland for a long time, rushed over.

Now that Ultimate Elder and Pagoda Sword Master were engaged in a tight battle, it was a good chance for them to flee!

However, it was as though Ye Qingtang did not hear Blood Moon Elder's suggestion, and her attention was completely focused on the battlefield.

It was not that Ye Qingtang did not wish to take this chance to escape but…

She discovered that as the battle intensified, the spirit energy on this mainland expanded immediately, and this mainland was about to burst from the spirit energy that they discharged.

Regardless of Ultimate Elder, Pagoda Sword Master, or those powerful figures from You Ancient Clan…

Their skills had already exceeded the limit of this mainland, and this excess may not be completely leveled even if their skills were suppressed.

In this intense battle, the powerful figures executed their skills brazenly.

The dangerous amount of force that exceeded the spirit energy of this mainland was a constant assault to this mainland's tolerance of spirit energy…

Uneasiness crept into Ye Qingtang's heart. The martial culture of this mainland had always been low, and there were few powerful figures such as Ultimate Elder, Pagoda Sword Master, and Blood Moon Holy Lord; thus, their appearance would not have much influence on this mainland.

However if…

The number of such powerful figures suddenly inflated in the same area, and these powerful figures unleashed their powers at the same time…

How could this mainland be able to withstand this bout-like assault?

By then…

This mainland would explode due to the inability to withstand so much force!

Ye Qingtang frowned inadvertently at that thought. If it was really as she guessed…

Everyone on this mainland would die regardless of the You Ancient Clan's attack!

At this instant, more and more You Ancient Clan figures rushed over from all sides!

The Ultimate Elder and the Pagoda Sword Master were facing three You Ancient Clan generals. Although they were not at a disadvantage yet, the arrival of more You Ancient Clan figures eventually saw the strain of even Pagoda Sword Master, the man known as the most powerful figure of this mainland.

1154 Pagoda Sword Master 3

"It may not be so." The Ultimate Elder suddenly looked up and gazed afar.

Almost at the same time when Ultimate Elder looked over, a "wave" seemed to appear in the air.

In just the blink of an eye, numerous black shadows appeared from that "wave".

Those black shadows transformed into bolts of light and descended from the sky unannounced.

The masses from the three mighty forces—Phantom Valley, Peerless School, and Beiming Manor—suddenly appeared in everyone's sight!

"Greetings, Ultimate Elder!"

Three tall figures stood out from the three mighty forces.

The Masters of Phantom Valley, Peerless School, and Beiming Manor immediately walked forward and greeted Ultimate Elder with a bow and cupped fists upon seeing him.

"Mhm."

Ultimate Elder waved a hand briefly in response.

Ultimate Elder was a legendary powerful figure on this mainland, and even the three mighty forces were extremely respectful toward him.

Ye Qingtang had a look of understanding when she saw the arrival of the three mighty forces.

Currently, the invasion of the Central Mainland powerful figures into this mainland was a pressing crisis, and the Peerless School, Phantom Valley, and Beiming Manor would not sit around and do nothing.

The three mighty forces must be aware of the current situation and the You Ancient Clan's intentions.

If they did not stop the You Ancient Clan's massacre, the three mighty forces would also ultimately vanish along with everyone on this mainland.

They were not fools. No egg was left intact when the nest was doomed.

Regardless of their dynamics previously, they could only join forces now.

"Senior Ultimate Elder… This is…"

Beiming Manor Chief looked at Pagoda Sword Master and asked curiously.

"Pagoda Sword Master," replied Ultimate Elder.

Pagoda Sword Master?!

Their expressions changed when they heard this name.

The Pagoda Sword Master had left this mainland a long time ago, and barely anyone knew what he looked like. The power-holders of the three mighty forces had never seen the Pagoda Sword Master before either.

Although they had not met the Pagoda Sword Master before, he was extremely esteemed and renowned.

Legend has it that the Pagoda Sword Master was the number one figure of this mainland, and even the Blood Moon Holy Lord back then was defeated by him…

They heard that the Pagoda Sword Master had left this mainland a long time ago, yet unexpectedly today… the Pagoda Sword Master actually returned to this mainland when it was facing a crisis…

The addition of the three mighty forces resulted in ten plus Yang Lords on the Pagoda Sword Master's side.

Yet despite this situation, Ye Qingtang was not seen to be relieved at all, and she looked at the frowning Ultimate Elder.

As expected, the Ultimate Elder had a somber expression as he looked at the You Ancient Clan masses.

Even with additional support, the Ultimate Elder was still distressed.

While the three mighty forces joined in, the You Ancient Clan was much more powerful than he expected, and it was probably tough to contend against them even if the full force of the three mighty forces participated.

If… the hidden ancient clan of this mainland could join them, perhaps there was a tiny hope in this battle.

"Haha, aren't you all being delusional for wanting to protect this mainland with just a few of you?" The golden-robed elderly of the You Ancient Clan snickered.

1155 The Spirit Energy Crisis 1

As the golden-robed man had said, it was basically unrealistic to resist the You Ancient Clan even with ten more Yang Lords.

Swoosh!

At this instant, many figures flashed across the sky.

Ultimate Elder finally sighed in relief at the sight.

"Finally here."

Several figures loomed from the sky and entered everyone's vision. After the elderly in the lead landed on the ground, he immediately looked at Ultimate Elder and spoke.

"Ultimate Elder, it's been long."

Looking at those people who arrived suddenly, Ye Qingtang realized that there were many Yang Lords who came with the elderly, and the clothes that they were wearing were embroidered with a foreign and aged totem.

A guess struck Ye Qingtang almost instinctively.

Ye Qingtang seemed to have seen that totem in an ancient book in her previous life before.

It was just that the ancient book only had a few fragments left when Ye Qingtang obtained it, and this totem appeared in the remaining excerpts. Although there was no detailed description of the origin of this totem, it vaguely mentioned that this totem seemed to be related to the ancient clan of this mainland.

Although this mainland's martial culture was backward, it still had a long history, and there were many hidden ancient clans.

Apart from the obscure ancient clan that attacked Falling Sky Valley, there were other ancient clans living in between the mountains and clouds.

Similarly, both the Ancient You Clan and the Domain Monarch's Jiang Clan in Central Mainland were classified as ancient clans.

The totem seen on the group of people who came suddenly led Ye Qingtang to guess that they could be an ancient clan that had been concealed from the world for a long time, though she could not be certain.

However…

Looking at how that elderly in the lead and Ultimate Elder were talking, they seemed to know each other.

The golden-robed man from You Ancient Clan stared at those ancient clan figures who rushed over fearlessly, and a sneer hung on his lips.

"You think too highly of yourselves."

In reality, given the backward martial culture of this mainland, the obscure ancient clans of this mainland were no match for those of the Central Mainland even if they showed up.

However…

To a certain extent, if the obscure ancient clans of this mainland were willing to join the war, they could still resist the Ancient You Clan for a period of time even if they were unable to defeat the Ancient You Clan. After all, this mainland's suppression of skills could slightly restrain the Ancient You Clan's skills.

Had there not been such suppression, the Ancient You Clan would probably have destroyed this mainland a long time ago.

Ye Qingtang was even more somber when she saw the golden-robed man's arrogant attitude.

If there were powerful figures at Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven like Divine King Luo Xue, the calamity of this mainland could be easily prevented.

Nonetheless, the Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven figure from the obscure ancient clan that attacked Falling Sky Valley had been killed by Divine King Luo Xue, and Divine King Luo Xue, himself, was dead too. This mainland most likely had no other figures at Yang Lord Tenth Heaven.

As the mainland's catastrophe approached, an increasing number of itinerant cultivators rushed over to the battlefield.

It was just that this mainland's spirit energy was too thin, and only a handful number of itinerant cultivators were powerful figures as almost all the true powerful figures were in ancient clans.

For example, one of the powerful figures from the ancient clan killed by Divine King Luo Xue was in the Yang Lord Tenth Heaven realm, and he was considered an ancient figure.

1156 The Spirit Energy Crisis 2

Apart from him, almost no one from the remaining obscure ancient clans lived over ten thousand years.

These obscure ancient clans and Divine King Luo Xue did not live in the same generation. While they were obscure ancient clans, they were the descendants of those ancient figures from ten thousand years ago.

In terms of skills, it was impossible for them to be compared to that Yang Lord Tenth Heaven person whom Divine King Luo Xue killed.

Endless explosions could be heard at this instant. The Pagoda Sword Master's side and the You Ancient Clan's side were locked in a battle. Immensely horrifying martial auras crashed into one another, and remarkable skills were executed. One could hardly distinguish the situation with the naked eye.

"Holy Lady, are we going to join the battle?"

The Blood Moon Elder was standing beside Ye Qingtang currently. The two of them had long been ignored as though they did not exist.

Ardor and zeal coursed through the Blood Moon Elder's blood as he watched the great match. His eyes were burning while his unrivaled body could not hold back any longer, and he wanted to show off his skills… By then, he would definitely become the center of attention…

Ye Qingtang frowned deeply and shook her head.

"We are not joining the battle?" The Blood Moon Elder was slightly surprised and did not know Ye Qingtang's intention.

The Pagoda Sword Master and Ultimate Elder's side fell behind in terms of numbers and skills when fighting against the Ancient You Clan. Once Ye Qingtang and he, two top Yang Lords, participated, there would be an evident improvement in the situation.

However, Ye Qingtang did not say anything and inspected the sky instead.

The spirit energy of this mainland was expanded increasingly as the battle intensified.

If it expanded to the limit, there would only be one possibility…

This mainland would no longer be able to bear this pressure…

The pressure of the spirit energy from the outer world would completely crush this mainland!

By then, everyone did not need to continue fighting as everyone… would die…

"Look at the spirit energy of this mainland."

Ye Qingtang told the Blood Moon Elder.

"Spirit energy?"

Confusion was etched the Blood Moon Elder's face as he did not know what Ye Qingtang meant. He looked up instinctively.

His expression changed drastically a moment later, and horror filled his wide eyes.

"This… This.." The Blood Moon Elder trembled slightly. "The spirit energy of this mainland is compressed rapidly and inflating outward…"

"That's right." Ye Qingtang nodded her head.

"If… this goes on, this mainland will definitely be unable to bear the pressure of the spirit energy… and explode…" The Blood Moon Elder was astonished.

Once this mainland could not bear the pressure of the spirit energy and exploded, no one dream shall of leaving this place alive. The people of this mainland and the Ancient You Clan members would all die here!

Blood Moon Elder naturally knew the reason behind the compression and expansion of the spirit energy.

The spirit energy in this mainland was thin from the start, and this mainland was classified as a low-level mainland. Normally speaking, it could only withstand the aura of an ordinary Yang Lord.

However, with Ancient You Clan, Pagoda Sword Master, and those powerful ancient clans gathered at one place currently, all their forces, including the Pagoda Sword Master's Sword Dao willpower, had greatly surpassed the power that a Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm could control and even more so, the limit that this mainland could withstand…

Now that all the excess force that this mainland could withstand exploded in one area, this was simply suicidal…

1157 The Spirit Energy Crisis 3

Just the thought of this gave the Blood Moon Elder goosebumps all over. He hollered immediately.

"Stop fighting, everyone!"

The voice of Blood Moon Elder's new body was shocking, and his shout was like a thunderous roar that pierced everyone's eardrums.

As expected, both parties looked at the Blood Moon Elder after the shout.

Noticing that everyone finally stopped fighting, the Blood Moon Elder hurriedly pointed to the sky.

"Look for yourselves…"

Everyone looked up, and what laid before them stunned them utterly.

The clouds in the sky above them seemed to be burnt as a result of the maximum compression and outward expansion of spirit energy.

"Burnt clouds…" Ultimate Elder was astonished.

The Ultimate Elder and the Pagoda Sword Master were high-level figures and knew what was going on roughly after a slight inspection.

If they continued the fight with You Ancient Clan, the spirit energy would be expanded to the maximum in no time, and the massive pressure released was sufficient to destroy this mainland.

Given the scale of the explosion produced by the spirit energy, this mainland would completely disappear from the Earth's surface in at most three to five breaths' time.

Moreover, in this extremely short span of time, even a Holy Venerate level figure who came here might not be able to escape this place alive…

Similarly, people from the You Ancient Clan noticed the unusual phenomenon in the sky.

"Everyone, stop!"

The green-robed You Tong, one of the three Generals of Ancient You Clan, shouted with a deep frown.

Their martial skills had exceeded the limit that this low-level mainland could bear, and if they continued to fight, they would be unable to obtain the Spiritual Abode or even leave this place alive.

Both parties did not dare to make a move recklessly.

The main force of both parties had ordered to stop the fight, and the burnt clouds in the sky caused uneasiness. No one dared to take any rash and unconsidered actions.

"Everyone, you all have seen the situation." Pagoda Sword Master looked at the three Generals of the Ancient You Clan and said.

Their powers had already exceeded the limit that this mainland could bear, and they were even gathered together. The originally perilous spirit energy of this mainland could no longer withstand the powers unleashed in the intense mass battle. If they continued the battle, the spirit energy of this mainland and, subsequently, the entire mainland would explode ultimately…

All of them would die here.

A one-eyed elderly of You Ancient Clan coldly said, "It is simple. Since we can't battle in the same place, we can split up the battlefield."

Their objective for coming to this mainland was to obtain You Yun's Spiritual Abode and would definitely not put an end to their plan. On the other hand, the powerful figures of this mainland, with Ultimate Elder and Pagoda Sword Master in the lead, would not sit idly and wait for death.

This war was unavoidable yet also could not continue in this way.

Otherwise, both sides would be over.

The only strategy now was to disperse the powers of the masses to prevent the suicidal act of an aggressive battle at one spot.

The other two Generals' eyes brightened at that suggestion. As long as the battlefield was spread out, the pressure from the war would naturally be dispersed… By then, such a circumstance would not happen.

You Yun's Spiritual Abode must be obtained and had to be brought back to You Ancient Clan's headquarters no matter what. This was the do-or-die order given by the senior executives of the headquarters.

1158 Splitting The Battlefield 1

"Just as you wish," the Pagoda Sword Master said as he swiftly swept a gaze across the three generals.

Under the circumstances, it was unrealistic to expect the Ancient You Clan to abandon their invasion and choose to leave, so they had no choice but to fight on. However, they were unable to gather in one spot, so they were forced to split up the battlefield.

In the end, the land was divided into three zones: the eastern part of the mainland became the eastern battlefield; the northern part became the northern battlefield; the southern part became the southern battlefield.

The Ultimate Elder assumed command of the eastern battlefield, the Pagoda Sword Master of the northern battlefield, while the powerful cultivators of the ancient clan held the southern battlefield!

"Go."

Ye Qingtang looked at the Blood Moon Elder and said.

The three main battlefields had been formed, and there would be no fighting here. Ye Qingtang wanted to leave before the Ancient You Clan noticed herself and the Blood Moon Elder.

Although Blood Moon Elder had not yet been exposed, if he remained in the Ancient You Clan, he would die. He had no choice but to leave with Ye Qingtang.

When he heard that, the Blood Moon Elder nodded. He threw Ye Qingtang onto his left shoulder and stepped out. He instantly vanished on the spot.

The formation of the three main battlefields was not good news for the Ultimate Elder or Pagoda Sword Master.

Splitting the battlefield was equivalent to dividing their manpower and strength. The Ancient You Clan had no problem dividing their manpower and strength.

The Ancient You Clan had many more powerful cultivators than this mainland. The more the powerful cultivators from this mainland were split up, the better it was for the clan.

…

After half a day, the Blood Moon Elder's huge body suddenly appeared in the Falling Sky Valley of the Nine Nights Dynasty.

Blood Moon Elder's appearance caused an uproar in the entire Nine Nights Dynasty. They only relaxed when they finally realized that the Blood Moon Elder was a friend and not an enemy.

"Mo… ther…"

When he saw that Ye Qingtang had returned, little Luo Xue ran out of the valley. He hugged Ye Qingtang's ankles and batted his eyelids at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang smiled when she saw little Luo Xue running towards her on his short legs. She picked him up and hugged him.

While he was in her embrace, little Luo Xue suddenly spotted the little white tiger in Ye Qingtang's arms. It was as if he had discovered a new world. His small white hand immediately caught hold of the little white tiger's ears.

"If you were not so small…" The little white tiger glared at little Luo Xue.

"Has little Luo Xue been good?"

Ye Qingtang put down Luo Xue and laughed softly.

When he heard that, little Luo Xue held onto the little white tiger's ear while nodding at Ye Qingtang.

Before long, Perfected Xuanchen, the Ye Family and the Si Family all came out of the valley.

Everyone was shocked to see the Blood Moon Elder's huge body.

Ye Qingtang had no choice but to explain the circumstances to them.

After hearing Ye Qingtang's explanation, everyone relaxed. Many Falling Sky Valley disciples surrounded the Blood Moon Elder and stared at him, as if studying his expression.

"Qingtang, what's going on?"

Perfected Xuanchen looked at Ye Qingtang and asked.

Ye Qingtang did not hide anything and explained all that had happened to them.

Perfected Xuanchen was very shocked to learn about the division of the battlefield.

The Nine Nights Dynasty was south of the mainland and was considered to be in the southern zone. Based on the division of the mainland's battlefield, it would be under the command of the ancient clan…

"Qingtang, are these powerful cultivators from the ancient clan the same as the ancient clan that came to our Falling Sky Valley previously…" Perfected Xuanchen looked at Ye Qingtang with a somewhat worried expression.

1159 Splitting The Battlefield 2

"Master, there is more than one ancient clan between the mountains and the clouds. The ancient clan controlling the southern war zone is not the same as the clan that came to Falling Sky Valley previously," said Ye Qingtang.

The ancient clan that came to the Falling Sky Valley previously was the most powerful ancient clan in this mainland and had members who were Tenth Heaven Yang Lords. However, in the battle of the Falling Sky Valley, most of the powerful cultivators of that ancient clan had been killed by Divine King Luo Xue, so they were greatly weakened.

However, the ancient clan holding the southern zone was an ancient clan hidden between the mountains and clouds and was different from the other ancient clan.

Perfected Xuanchen relaxed after hearing Ye Qingtang's explanation.

At that moment, the Ye Family members all sighed. The mainland's battlefield was divided into three zones. They were cultivators in the southern battlefield but were too weak to fight the Ancient You Clan. Although they were cultivators of this mainland, they had no way of protecting their homeland once it was invaded. They were not even worthy of entering the battlefield…

Even Ye Qingtang was somewhat worried.

Even without dividing up the powerful cultivators of this mainland, the Pagoda Sword Master, the Ultimate Elder, and the Master of the Ancient Clan could hold their own against the three generals. The extremely powerful cultivators at the same level as the generals were about equal in numbers. But below the rank of general, their numbers differed vastly.

The vast difference in numbers meant that this mainland would die slowly.

The Ultimate Elder and Pagoda Sword Master, and even the Master of the ancient clan, knew this, but they had no other recourse.

If things carried on like that, before long… the three battlefields would slowly be lost!

"Eldest Young Lady… what should we do?" Daoist Zijin looked at Ye Qingtang and asked worriedly.

Besides the powerful cultivators from the hidden ancient clan and the Ancient You Clan, cultivators at the level of Daoist Zijin would normally be considered the most powerful cultivators in this mainland, second only to the three main forces.

But with the changes that occurred in this mainland—the Ancient You Clan's invasion, the Pagoda Sword Master's return, the Ultimate Elder's appearance, the hidden ancient clan resurfacing… their status was reduced to nothing. They were not even worthy of being used as cannon fodder.

Ye Qingtang frowned slightly and did not hurry to answer.

Based on Ye Qingtang and the Blood Moon Elder's power, they could be considered the most powerful cultivators in this mainland. However, they were unable to change the tide of battle. The Ancient You Clan was just too powerful and too numerous. Also, there was still the powerful commander in chief who had not yet made an appearance.

In the long run, how long could this mainland last? A few days? A few months? Or even half a year?

No matter how long it lasted, the conclusion was inevitable.

This heralded the end of this mainland's hopes.

Ye Qingtang took a deep breath. Although she felt helpless to change the situation, at that moment, her gaze swept across everyone in the Falling Sky Valley, and she spoke decisively.

"I will protect all of you… until the last possible moment."

In her previous life, she had no cares or worries. She had left this mainland early without knowing what kind of crisis it experienced in the end.

Today, the people she cared about the most were all in this mainland.

Her relatives, her master…

Even though there was no hope, she would guard them all to the very end.

When they heard that, everyone quavered.

Although Ye Qingtang had not spoken loudly, each one of her decisive words reached their ears.

It was just a simple sentence, but under the circumstances, this promise was worth its weight in gold…

"Qingtang… come with me."

Perfected Xuanchen looked at Ye Qingtang and spoke suddenly.

Ye Qingtang immediately handed little Luo Xue over to her father, Ye Ling, and followed Perfected Xuanchen.

Ye Qingtang and Perfected Xuanchen soon came to a desolate place.

"Qingtang, I have discovered something…" Perfected Xuanchen checked to ensure that there was no one about before speaking.

Ye Qingtang was taken aback when she saw Perfected Xuanchen's expression. She did not know what had happened to cause Perfected Xuanchen to act so mysteriously.

"Master, may I ask what has happened?" Ye Qingtang vaguely sensed that Perfected Xuanchen had something important to tell her.

Perfected Xuanchen pondered for a moment before saying, "Qingtang, I suppose you know about little You Yun's background?"

Although she did not know why Perfected Xuanchen had suddenly mentioned little You Yun, Ye Qingtang was naturally aware of her background.

Little You Yun was created from the power of the extraordinary lady's spiritual abode. The source of her power was the spiritual abode. Of course, this was merely Ye Qingtang's guess. But no matter what, little You Yun had some close connection with the extraordinary lady. Ye Qingtang even suspected that little You Yun was the extraordinary lady's reincarnation…

"Qingtang, I'll just speak bluntly… you may not believe me, because even I find it hard to believe it myself." Perfected Xuanchen looked at Ye Qingtang mysteriously.

When she saw the serious Perfected Xuanchen looking so mysterious, Ye Qingtang could not help but laugh softly. "Master, what's the big secret? Stop being mysterious."

"Qingtang… yesterday I discovered by chance that… little You Yun… can control the spirit energy in this mainland!" Perfected Xuanchen finally blurted out what he had seen and heard.

Ye Qingtang's expression changed when she heard Perfected Xuanchen's words.

To be able to control the spirit energy in this mainland… what kind of concept was that?! It was akin to being a true god!

"Master, is that true?" Ye Qingtang was somewhat skeptical.

"Absolutely!" Perfected Xuanchen nodded repeatedly. "Qingtang, you should know that we martial cultivators basically rely on spirit energy. The difference between powerful and weak cultivators is the ability to control and absorb spirit energy. To become a powerful cultivator, one must be situated in a place rich in spirit energy and physically absorb this spirit energy to achieve breakthroughs to the next level… if… little You Yun can control spirit energy… then she can…"

As Perfected Xuanchen spoke, a trace of shock surfaced in Ye Qingtang's eyes. Of course, Ye Qingtang understood this principle.

If little You Yun could really control spirit energy, then in some sense, she could create gods!

"I understand…" Ye Qingtang muttered softly to herself.

Little You Yun and the extraordinary lady had some intimate connection, and this mainland was created from the extraordinary lady's Spiritual Abode. It made sense that little You Yun could control the spirit energy in this mainland… It was as if the extraordinary lady herself was present!

A moment later, Ye Qingtang followed Perfected Xuanchen to the pavilion. Little You Yun was in her room.

Little You Yun's eyes brightened the moment she saw Ye Qingtang. However, she seemed unwilling to acknowledge Perfected Xuanchen and pouted.

When he saw that, Perfected Xuanchen looked rather embarrassed. "Little You Yun, are you still angry with grandfather?"

When Perfected Xuanchen saw that little You Yun could control spirit energy, he had deliberately asked little You Yun to repeatedly perform her actions. In the end, little You Yun had grown impatient and refused to respond to Perfected Xuanchen.

"Haha, little You Yun, don't be angry. Grandfather has brought you a treat!" Perfected Xuanchen laughed happily and strode forward. He took out a stick of candy from somewhere.

1161 Supplying Spirit Energy 1

Little You Yun stared unblinkingly at the candy with her large black eyes. Her little tongue greedily licked her small lips. She waved her small hands, walked over to take the candy from Perfected Xuanchen's hands, and smiled brilliantly.

Ye Qingtang was rendered speechless by her master's ease in coaxing children.

When he saw that Ye Qingtang's expression looked rather strange, Perfected Xuanchen laughed in embarrassment. "I once had a daughter… so… I have some experience in coaxing children…"

"…"

Her master was certainly "multi-talented".

Little You Yun held the candy that Perfected Xuanchen had handed her and licked it with satisfaction. Her little face beamed with a sweet smile.

When he saw that little You Yun did not seem to be angry anymore, Perfected Xuanchen gently coaxed her. "Little You Yun, can you manipulate the spirit energy once more for grandfather?"

Little You Yun tilted her head to look at Perfected Xuanchen. Her large black eyes blinked; then, she glanced at the candy in her hand that was mostly gone. She stuffed the remaining piece in her mouth so that her little cheeks bulged. She clapped her small hands and with her cheeks still bulging, nodded at Perfected Xuanchen.

Perfected Xuanchen could not help but laugh softly at little You Yun. He involuntarily rubbed her small head and said gently, "Little You Yun is such a good girl. Grandfather will bring her to eat something nice later."

When little You Yun heard that, her eyes immediately brightened, and she nodded vigorously.

Ye Qingtang could not help but giggle at the scene. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have imagined that the usually dignified Perfected Xuanchen was so good at coaxing children.

It looked like Perfected Xuanchen was getting along well with little You Yun.

However…

Little You Yun was just too easy to coax. A stick of candy and she was content…

Perfected Xuanchen and Ye Qingtang swiftly brought little You Yun out of the house.

"Go ahead…" Perfected Xuanchen gently patted little You Yun's small head.

Little You Yun batted her eyelids and stepped forward.

The next second, little You Yun's eyes slowly turned green, and an indescribable aura surged forth from her body.

In a split second, the spirit energy in the void sank. An immense amount of spirit energy visibly accumulated in the void above. The density of the spirit energy far exceeded the limit of this mainland.

"This… is a miracle…" Perfected Xuanchen looked at the spirit energy in the void above. Although he had seen it once, he could not help but exclaim again.

When Ye Qingtang saw this amazing scene, a trace of wonder involuntarily surfaced in her eyes.

This mainland was created from the extraordinary lady's Spiritual Abode. In a sense, in this mainland, the extraordinary lady was equivalent to a creator god. It was entirely possible that she possessed a supreme power that allowed her to control the spirit energy.

Further, little You Yun had some intricate connection with the extraordinary lady. Although her ability to control this mainland's spirit energy was beyond Ye Qingtang's expectations, it was also within reason.

When she saw this scene, an idea suddenly surfaced in Ye Qingtang's mind.

"If… little You Yun could send spirit energy into a cultivator's body…"

Little You Yun heard Ye Qingtang murmur.

Little You Yun tilted her head and glanced at Ye Qingtang. Her eyes flickered.

Then, she looked at Perfected Xuanchen as if she had suddenly thought of something. Her eyes flashed.

1162 Supplying Spirit Energy 2

In the next second…

The extremely dense spirit energy in the void above immediately rushed into Falling Sky Valley!

Ye Qingtang and Perfected Xuanchen were shocked to see the dense spirit energy suddenly rush towards them.

But before they understood what was going on.

The dense spirit energy that was pouring down swiftly shrouded Perfected Xuanchen!

The spirit energy that enclosed Perfected Xuanchen suddenly rushed into his body at great speed.

Ye Qingtang, who was watching from the side, saw huge amounts of spirit energy rushing into Perfected Xuanchen's body. Her eyes widened involuntarily.

As huge amounts of spirit energy rushed in, Perfected Xuanchen's martial ability increased with unimaginable speed in the span of a few short breaths.

Perfected Xuanchen looked shocked, and his face was filled with disbelief. "I've… broken through… how is that possible?!"

He had been at the Third Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord for many years. Many years ago, his martial ability had reached a bottleneck. However, within the span of a few short breaths, he had broken through to the Fifth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord!

Before Perfected Xuanchen could finish speaking, he looked shocked again.

"Yin Yang Perfected Lord… Sixth Heaven… what is this!"

In an instant, his ability had increased by another level!

Perfected Xuanchen was unable to believe what was happening. It was as if he was in a dream. However, his breakthrough in cultivation level was real.

As Perfected Xuanchen's cultivation level broke through to the Yang Lord realm of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven, Ye Qingtang keen senses perceived that Perfected Xuanchen's face was starting to turn pale, and his entire body began to shudder violently.

"Little You Yun… stop for a while." Ye Qingtang flew over to little You Yun and spoke hurriedly.

Little You Yun looked at Ye Qingtang in bewilderment but obediently nodded her head and dispersed the spirit energy that surrounded Perfected Xuanchen.

Just as little You Yun dispersed the spirit energy, Perfected Xuanchen stumbled backward for a few meters before he could finally stand firmly. He was completely ashen and covered with large drops of sweat.

"Master, are you alright?" Ye Qingtang looked at Perfected Xuanchen worriedly.

"No big deal, just…" Perfected Xuanchen panted heavily and shook his head. "I've reached the limit… of my ability to absorb spirit energy…"

Ye Qingtang only relaxed after hearing Perfected Xuanchen's words.

It looked like little You Yun could indeed control the spirit energy in this mainland.

Also, little You Yun was entirely capable of sending spirit energy into a cultivator's body, causing their martial ability to improve greatly in a short span of time.

Because of You Yun's curse, in this mainland, the highest realm that cultivators could reach was Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

However, breaking through to the Ninth and Tenth Heaven of Yang Lord had nothing to do with spirit energy. Instead, one had to open an "iron door" in one's dantian. Hence, little You Yun's use of spirit energy was limited to helping a cultivator break through to the peak of the Eighth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord.

Also, a cultivator's tolerance was limited. Not all cultivators could tolerate the impact of the spirit energy that would bring them to the peak of the Eighth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord within a short span of time.

A cultivator's body was like a vessel while spirit energy was like water in the vessel. If the rate at which the spirit energy was being supplied could be carefully controlled, then a cultivator could swiftly increase his capabilities within a short span of time.

However, once the supply of spirit energy exceeded the limit of what cultivator's body could tolerate, the consequences would be dire.

Please go to to read the latest chapters for free

1163 Supplying Spirit Energy 3

Whether it was a blessing or a curse would depend on whether the spirit energy supplied exceeded what the cultivator could tolerate.

For example, after Perfected Xuanchen broke through to the peak of the Seventh Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord, his body was unable to tolerate any more spirit energy. That was his limit, but if he was forced to continually absorb spirit energy for further breakthroughs, he would explode and die.

"Grandfather…"

When little You Yun saw how pale Perfected Xuanchen was, she thought that she had done something wrong. She pursed her lips, and her eyes were misty with self-reproach.

"Little You Yun is a good girl… Grandfather is fine. Grandfather is so grateful to little You Yun…" Perfected Xuanchen's eyes were emotional. He had never imagined that he could become a Yang Lord in this lifetime.

When she saw little You Yun's self-reproachful look, Ye Qingtang could not help but chuckle. She hugged little You Yun and spoke to her gently.

"Little You Yun has done very well. Grandfather is fine."

Little You Yun looked at Ye Qingtang with some bewilderment and then looked at Perfected Xuanchen before slowly nodding.

"I really must thank little You Yun… I have actually… managed to become… a Yang Lord!" Perfected Xuanchen was all smiles. If he had not experienced it himself, he would never have believed that he could have gone from the Third Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord to the peak of the Seventh Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord, to become a Yang Lord within half a minute.

It felt like a dream or a fantasy. It was surreal.

However, Perfected Xuanchen swiftly suppressed his emotions and turned to look at Ye Qingtang. "Qingtang… since little You Yun can control spirit energy and send it into my body… that means that she can do the same… to create Yang Lords!"

"That's right. From a certain perspective, that is certainly true." Ye Qingtang nodded.

"In that case, in our Falling Sky Valley, including the Ye and Si Families… if we all become Yang Lords… no, if everyone in this mainland becomes a Yang Lord… then we will have nothing to fear from the Ancient You Clan of Central Mainland!" Perfected Xuanchen became more and more agitated when he thought of this possibility.

When she saw Perfected Xuanchen's agitated look, Ye Qingtang shook her head and said, "Theoretically that's true, but it is impossible in reality."

"It is impossible in reality?" When he heard Ye Qingtang's words, Perfected Xuanchen was taken aback. "Why?"

"Master, you could break through to the realm of Yang Lord because your martial talents and mental state were sufficient," Ye Qingtang said seriously.

"Even so, you reached the limit at the peak of the Yin Yang Seventh Heaven. If you had forced yourself to break through to the Eighth Heaven, it will be very dangerous, and you might explode.

"It is the same for everyone else. For an ordinary disciple, their limit would be a Yin Lord like you. If they were forced to break through to the level of Yang Lord, they might be in danger.

"They cannot become Yang Lords unless they all have a superior martial talent and mental states. Also, ordinary people who have never cultivated before and Connate level cultivators cannot tolerate too much spirit energy."

Although this method was good, it was limited by the cultivators themselves.

Perfected Xuanchen understood after hearing Ye Qingtang's explanation.

An ordinary person who had never cultivated before could not tolerate spirit energy filling their bodies, while those at the Connate level were not at a sufficiently high level of cultivation. They had not even reached the threshold of martial arts cultivation and could not tolerate too much spirit energy. For them, becoming Yang Lords was a mere fantasy.

When he realized that, Perfected Xuanchen could not help but feel disappointed.

1164 The Light of Hope 1

As she watched the joy fade from Perfected Xuanchen's face, Ye Qingtang said, "But no matter what, little You Yun can still create a batch of powerful cultivators for us…"

The mainland was currently divided into three main battlefields. They already lacked powerful cultivators, but now, the situation was worsened by the division. The Ancient You Clan was different. They had plenty of powerful cultivators, so they were not greatly affected by the division of the battlefield.

If little You Yun could create more powerful cultivators, they might have a chance…

"In that case, let us quickly ask the twelve peak masters and Daoist Zijin to receive spirit energy from little You Yun!" Perfected Xuanchen said. But another thought came to his mind, and he felt something was amiss. So, he changed the topic and spoke carefully.

"Actually we shouldn't act precipitately. We first have to ascertain their loyalty to this mainland. Otherwise, they might betray this mainland after becoming Yang Lords and join the Ancient You Clan. Then, we would have strengthened the enemy instead…"

As the Ancient You Clan aggressively swept through the land, there would certainly be some traitors among the major forces.

Considering the current circumstances, Perfected Xuanchen had to be cautious and prepared for the worst.

Ye Qingtang had also considered Perfected Xuanchen's worries. But how were they to prove something like loyalty at a time like that?

One must not doubt one's subordinates. If one doubted them, then they should not be entrusted with anything. Ye Qingtang understood this principle.

"Master, there presently is no good method of proving the depth of their loyalty to this mainland. But I think that since everyone grew up in this mainland and their relatives and friends are all here… if we should lose the battle, everyone will die. I believe everyone understands this principle. There is hope only in victory. No one will willingly go over to the enemy who has come to destroy our home," said Ye Qingtang.

Of course, it would be best if every person's loyalty could be individually tested. But at the moment, they lacked the time to do so.

Furthermore…

Ye Qingtang also believed they knew that if they went over to the Ancient You Clan, they would be mere lackeys in the eyes of the Clan.

Who would willingly be a lackey?

"Sigh… I hope so." Perfected Xuanchen heaved a sigh.

After some discussion between Perfected Xuanchen and Yin Yang Perfected Lord, they summoned the twelve peak masters. Ye Qingtang also gathered Daoist Zijin, Elder Bai Kui, and all the Yin Yang Perfected Lords in the Ye and Si Families.

When everyone had congregated, they noticed that Perfected Xuanchen's ability had already increased to the realm of Yang Lord!

The last time they saw Perfected Xuanchen, he had been a mere Yin Yang Perfected Lord. Third Heaven. How had he managed to become a Yang Lord… in the span of a few hours?

Everyone was perplexed and shocked. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it.

When Perfected Xuanchen saw that everyone was present, he did not delay further and explained to everyone how his ability had increased so rapidly.

But he deliberately hid the fact that little You Yun could control the spirit energy in this mainland.

This matter was just too unbelievable. Also, Perfected Xuanchen and Ye Qingtang were worried that some might have evil designs on little You Yun if they found out about her special ability.

However, even after hiding little You Yun's role in this matter, the issue was still shocking.

"Valley Master Xuanchen, are you saying… you have a method to make us Yang Lords?!" Daoist Zijin was shocked.

1165 The Light of Hope 2

"That's right!" Perfected Xuanchen nodded with a serious expression. "Qingtang found a Dharma treasure that can control spirit energy…"

Afterward, Perfected Xuanchen peered at Ye Qingtang discreetly. This was the explanation that he and Ye Qingtang discussed earlier on.

After hearing what Perfected Xuanchen said, Elder Bai Kui and the rest looked at Ye Qingtang in astonishment.

"Control this mainland's… spirit energy?!"

Ye Qingtang nodded and agreed according to the priorly agreed explanation with Perfected Xuanchen.

"Yes."

"Holy Lady… control this mainland's spirit energy… In this case, we can create a God!" The Blood Moon Elder's towering body approached them with great strides, causing thunderous rumbles.

"Look… how much spirit energy can this huge and unrivaled body of mine digest?! In this case, I can become an Emperor-level figure… No, I can become a God!" Blood Moon Elder looked at Ye Qingtang in exhilaration. "Holy Lady… don't waste any more time. Give me all the spirit energy to digest. By then, I can crush the You Ancient Clan into pieces with a single punch!"

"Give it all to you…"

"That is too much from you!"

"Where are you from and who are you to talk so arrogantly! What do you mean by giving all to you?! Can't we become powerful figures and protect our homeland?"

"Eldest Young Lady, who is this monster?!"

Before Ye Qingtang could explain, the Blood Moon Elder's lips twitched. "I'm a monster? What a joke. My unrivaled body can absorb tons of spirit energy, and it is nothing difficult to be an Emperor-level figure by then. What do you all want to absorb spirit energy with your ant-like bodies for? It's simply a waste. Also, I am not a monster. I am an Elder of the Blood Moon Sect, and I possessed this body from an Ancient You Clan Elder.

"Pfft. An Elder of Blood Moon Sect… Big deal…"

"Yeah, I don't see your Blood Moon Sect coming to protect our homeland."

"You're big-sized, so you're great? There are so many Emperor-level figures, but there's barely anyone with a body like yours."

Ye Qingtang was having a splitting headache from the quarrel, and she frowned immediately.

"Quiet."

"Do you all hear it? Told you all to shut up!" The Blood Moon Elder snickered.

"I want you to keep quiet." Ye Qingtang shot a look at Blood Moon Elder.

The voice of Blood Moon Elder's current body was like thunder that hurt everyone's eardrums, and no one could withstand it.

"You're already at the peak of Yang Lord Eighth Heaven, and this is the limit that this mainland can withstand. No matter how much spirit energy you absorb, you will only be a Yang Lord on this mainland. It is impossible to become an Emperor-level figure, much less a God. Everyone has a different limit for the absorption of spirit energy, and absorbing spirit energy by force will only result in death." Ye Qingtang looked at the Blood Moon Elder and poured cold water on the Blood Moon Elder, waking him up from his beautiful dream of becoming an Emperor-level figure.

"What… This…" Blood Moon Elder was surprised by Ye Qingtang's explanation.

Daoist Zijin, Elder Bai Kui, and the rest wanted to laugh when they saw the Blood Moon Elder's expression.

This person was truly greedy to want to become an Emperor-level figure and even a God…

The spirit energy on this mainland was limited. Becoming an Emperor-level figure required the absorption of spirit energy, coordination of a corresponding mental state, and even some mysterious enlightenment. On top of that, all of those would only give a tiny chance of becoming an Emperor-level figure.

The Blood Moon Elder sighed immediately. After everything, he could not absorb spirit energy and was agitated for nothing…

1166 The Light of Hope 3

Very quickly, Perfected Xuanchen returned to a small pavilion not far away and instructed her to control the spirit energy in the room to prevent others from seeing it.

Before long, spirit energy rapidly condensed in the air above, and it was exceptionally rich.

Looking at the spirit energy, Elder Bai Kui exclaimed repeatedly. He was going to be the first person out of everyone to feel this power.

"Elder Bai Kui, you must tell me when you've reached your limit, or else the consequences will be dire." Ye Qingtang warned once again.

"Eldest Young Lady, I understand… Let's begin!" Elder Bai Kui took a deep breath and said with a nod.

As Elder Bai Kui finished his sentence, the spirit energy in the air rapidly enshrouded him, and strings of spirit energy surged into his body.

With just a few breaths, Elder Bai Kui's martial realm advanced from Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven to Fourth Heaven and subsequently to Fifth Heaven before everyone's eyes.

When he reached the early-stage of Eighth Heaven, Elder Bai Kui was ghastly white. Unable to bear the ripping pain that his body was experiencing, he shouted loudly. "Eldest Young Lady… enough!!"

Then, the spirit energy that enveloped Elder Bai Kui faded away immediately.

At this instant, everyone was utterly dumbfounded when they looked at Elder Bai Kui, who was in the early-stage of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven.

Although they learned from Perfected Xuanchen that Ye Qingtang had a Dharma treasure that could control spirit energy, they still felt inexplicable amazement when they personally saw Elder Bai Kui advancing from Yin Yang Perfected Lord Third Heaven to Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven.

"Oh my god… This is simply an insane power…" Daoist Zijin walked over to Elder Bai Kui and shuddered when he felt Elder Bai Kui's Yang Lord aura. Yet, he could not help but be exhilarated. In this case… Eldest Young Lady would definitely help him become a Yang Lord…

"Eldest Young Lady…"

A Ye Family Branch Master cupped his fists and asked Ye Qingtang, "Perfected Xuanchen is at the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven, but why is Elder Bai Kui at Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven?"

Ye Qingtang explained. "The absorption of spirit energy is based on the cultivator's own physique, martial talent, and mental state."

"You mean that… a cultivator is like a holder, and every holder is different. Some holders can absorb more spirit energy while others will absorb less spirit energy…" The Ye Family Branch Master was in thought.

"That's right." Ye Qingtang nodded her head.

"So whether we can become a Yang Lord still depends on whether we can absorb even more energy," Daoist Zijin said.

The Blood Moon Elder was rather uninterested in their discussion. How great would it be if he could absorb spirit energy as well?

The peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven was the peak of this mainland. Although Yin Yang Perfected Lord Ninth Heaven and Tenth Heaven both belonged to the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm, these two realms could not be achieved by relying on absorbing spirit energy.

When Little Luo Xue was just reincarnated, Ye Qingtang once felt the breath of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven and had a slight understanding.

There was an "iron door" at a cultivator's dantian. If this iron door could be opened, one could advance to Yin Yang Perfected Lord Ninth Heaven and even the Tenth Heaven.

Ye Qingtang once tried to open this iron door in her dantian, but no matter how hard she tried or what methods she used, she had no idea where the exact location of this iron door in her dantian was, much less opening it.

1167 The Light of Hope 4

In this world, the number of cultivators corresponded to the number of powerful figures with attainments. However, how many people could advance to Yin Yang Perfected Lord Ninth Heaven and even Tenth Heaven?

These were known as the legendary realms as almost no one could enter it.

If Ye Qingtang could advance to Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven with the injection of spirit energy, the You Ancient Clan would not be a threat at all. However…

At this instant, the spirit energy in the air condensed once again and enveloped Daoist Zijin in no time.

Under everyone's nervous watch, Daoist Zijin paled and shouted to stop after ten breaths.

"Peak of Yang Lord Seventh Heaven…"

Daoist Zijin's eyes were filled with disbelief and excitement when he inspected his realm.

Everyone there had never thought that they could hope to become a Yang Lord in their lives…

"Thank you, Eldest Young Lady… Thank you so much!"

Daoist Zijin walked to Ye Qingtang and bowed.

Ye Qingtang, however, was very clear that she was not the one who allowed Daoist Zijin to advance but Little You Yun. However, in consideration of Little You Yun's safety, she could not be seen; thus, Ye Qingtang could only represent Little You Yun to accept their thanks.

With Daoist Zijin's success in the lead, the others were filled with anticipation and were eager to try.

Without wasting time, Ye Qingtang continued to let Little You Yun control spirit energy in the dark and inject spirit energy into others.

Under the continuous injection of spirit energy, eight out of the twelve Peak Masters had advanced to the Yang Lord realm.

As for the remaining four people, their bodies could no longer bear any further injection of spirit energy and only managed to break through to the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Sixth Heaven.

Despite so, those four Peak Masters were satisfied as well. If they could survive in this war, they should be able to reach the Yang Lord realm if they cultivated for the rest of their lives.

Time ticked by, and more and more people's skills were raised.

In the evening, Perfected Xuanchen walked out from the small pavilion and whispered in Ye Qingtang's ears. "Little You Yun is tired and cannot continue to control the spirit energy."

Ye Qingtang nodded slightly. Little You Yun was already doing sufficiently well, and there was no need to hurry to finish in one day now that they had completely grasped this method.

Ye Qingtang turned to look at the remaining people who had not received the injection of spirit energy and said, "I am tired from controlling the Dharma treasure. I'll continue after a day of rest."

"You've worked hard, Eldest Young Lady!"

A few Si Family Yin Yang Perfected Lord figures immediately thanked Ye Qingtang with cupped fists.

After everyone left, the Blood Moon Elder looked at Ye Qingtang with an odd expression. "Holy Lady… when did you obtain a Dharma treasure that can control spirit energy? Why do I not know?"

The Blood Moon Elder had been following Ye Qingtang but was unaware that Ye Qingtang owned such a Dharma treasure. He had already found it strange when he heard Ye Qingtang saying this, but he was not a fool. Since Ye Qingtang said this publicly, he naturally could not ask her in front of everyone.

Seeing that everyone had left, Ye Qingtang was candid and explained the situation to the Blood Moon Elder.

A light broke in upon the Blood Moon Elder.

Yet, exactly because of this, the Blood Moon Elder was somehow rather moved by Ye Qingtang's decision to tell him about everything.

1168 A Collective Battle 1

The Blood Moon Elder was aware of the importance of this matter, and the fact that Ye Qingtang did not hide anything from him clearly showed her trust in him.

He would definitely not disappoint her.

"Holy Lady, it's dark already. Where do you think is suitable for me to stay?" The Blood Moon Elder took a deep breath and asked Ye Qingtang.

"Where to stay in…"

Ye Qingtang sized up Blood Moon Elder's huge body and was speechless for the moment. "How about… you find a random mountain valley or something…"

The Blood Moon Elder's new body was too huge, and there was no room in Falling Sky Valley where he could stay in.

"Uh… Alright…" Blood Moon Elder was slightly dumbfounded, and he left helplessly.

While this new body was powerful, it was rather troublesome in his day-to-day activities…

After the Blood Moon Elder left, Ye Qingtang headed to the small pavilion alone.

Little You Yun was already fast asleep on Ye Qingtang's bed.

Knowing that Little You Yun worked hard today, Ye Qingtang did not wake her up for her to have a good rest.

Over the two days, there was a limit to the time in which Little You Yun controlled the spirit energy, and the process of creating powerful figures slowed down.

In this period of time, from the South battlefield, there had been continuous news of the ancient clan's defeat. In less than half a month, the Formidable Heavens Dynasty and the surrounding land had been completely dominated by You Ancient Clan, and it was said that more than ten Yang Lords from the ancient clan were killed…

The North and East battlefield were guarded by Ultimate Elder and Pagoda Sword Master respectively, and the situation was considered to be in control at the moment, unlike the South battlefield, which was close to a complete defeat.

In reality, it was not that the mainland's obscure ancient clan was weak. It was just that the You Ancient Clan greatly valued Little You Yun, who was in Falling Sky Valley of the Nine Nights Dynasty. Thus, they increased the deployment and offense capabilities in the South battlefield.

The next morning.

Peerless School's Sect Master paid a visit to Falling Sky Valley personally.

"The ancient clan wishes to invite Miss Ye to join the South battlefield. The current situation in the South battlefield is not optimistic…" The Peerless School Sect Master was donned in a green robe and was about sixty years old. Standing at the lower end of the main hall, he looked at Ye Qingtang not faraway and sighed softly.

A Peerless School warden who headed to Falling Sky Valley was killed and then revived by Divine King Luo Xue previously, and the Peerless School Sect Master learned of Falling Sky Valley's situation from that warden. What he was more surprised about was that one of Perfected Xuanchen's little disciple was already a Yang Lord at such a young age.

Now that he met her today, she was indeed impressive.

Ye Qingtang looked at the Peerless School Sect Master for a second. After remaining silent for a while, she finally spoke. "My Master Perfected Xuanchen's daughter died in the hands of your Peerless School disciples."

The Peerless School Sect Master's expression changed when he heard that. From afar, an icy glint and sadness appeared in Perfected Xuanchen's eyes.

Back then, Perfected Xuanchen's daughter had a stunning appearance and was known as Nine Nights Dynasty's top beauty. When the Peerless School disciples failed at courting her, she was cruelly humiliated and then killed.

Perfected Xuanchen had never forgotten and could not forget about this incident.

If not for the fact that the current mainland was invaded by outsiders, Perfected Xuanchen, who had become a Yang Lord, would definitely not leave the matter at that and would definitely fight it out with Peerless School.

However, given the current situation, Peerless School also belonged to one of the main combat forces in the South battlefield, and the death of any one Yang Lord was a heavy loss to this mainland.

"I did hear… about this matter." The Peerless School Sect Master nodded hesitantly after a long while and said.

However, in the eyes of Peerless School, the Peerless School was superior and represented absolute authority in the Nine Nights Dynasty's land. As such, the Peerless School Sect Master did not care about it and had never respected Falling Sky Valley.

But today, Falling Sky Valley was not like before…

"Let's not talk about him today. How does Peerless School intend to give Falling Sky Valley an explanation?" Ye Qingtang said coldly.

"I understand." Peerless School Sect Master looked behind.

Two Peerless School senior executives dragged a young man who was about thirty years old into the main hall.

"Valley Master Xuanchen, this is the murderer of your daughter. He was only a disciple in Peerless School back then. He has passed the age for disciples, and his performance is pretty good, so he became a warden in Peerless School. I brought him here to Falling Sky Valley today for you to punish him however you want," Peerless School Sect Master said.

The Peerless School did not care for a mere warden; what the Peerless School minded was just their face. Handing this warden to Falling Sky Valley was equivalent to telling the world that the Peerless School yielded to the Falling Sky Valley.

However, the current situation was very unique. The South battlefield had fallen into an extremely disadvantageous position. Should this continue on, Peerless School would definitely be annihilated. Moreover, the You Ancient Clan had already begun invading the Nine Nights Dynasty's land.

Furthermore, the Peerless School was at fault for this incident from the start.

Ye Qingtang sized up that young warden and then looked at Perfected Xuanchen.

She was very clear that regardless of the conflicts and grudges between Falling Sky Valley and Peerless School, neither party should blow up at the other in such a special period.

Perfected Xuanchen was naturally aware of the current circumstance as well. Since Peerless School was willing to hand over that disciple, it was considered their act of sincerity, and Perfected Xuanchen would not hold onto the past matter.

Immediately, Perfected Xuanchen walked forward and arrived beside that young male.

The young male trembled slightly and looked at Perfected Xuanchen in fear.

Swoosh!

Without uttering a word, Perfected Xuanchen struck his palm out and crushed the young male's skull with his palm force.

Looking at the young man who tragically died before him, the rage that Perfected Xuanchen had been repressing for years seemed to dissipate at this moment.

No matter what, he personally avenged his daughter…

"Valley Master Xuanchen, we are extremely regretful of the incident back then. If this mainland can be safe and the enemies are chased away, my Peerless School will definitely give you a satisfying compensation." The Peerless School Sect Master looked at Perfected Xuanchen and said.

Perfected Xuanchen shook his head. "Forget about the compensation."

His daughter had already died, and however much compensation was unable to retrieve the situation. Now, his daughter's murderer was personally killed by him, and he did not wish to continue pursuing or mentioning this matter.

After seeing that Perfected Xuanchen had completely calmed down, Daoist Zijin told the Peerless School Sect Master. "Tell us about the situation in the South battlefield."

"The South battlefield is guarded by the Master of the obscure ancient clan, but the You Ancient Clan increased the deployment of powerful figures into the South battlefield… It is difficult for us to resist them. The Formidable Heavens Dynasty is currently lost. Peerless School, Phantom Valley, and Beiming Manor suffered heavy losses, and it is the same for the ancient clan, causing parts of the Nine Nights Dynasty to be seized as well." The Peerless School Sect Master could not help but sigh after informing them of the situation.

1170 A Collective Battle 3

The Sect Master of Peerless School wished to gather even more strength now to delay more time. Although just one Yang Lord, Ye Qingtang, did not matter much to the overall situation of the South battlefield, it was better than nothing to have the combat power of an additional Yang Lord.

As long as they could buy enough time, perhaps the North or East battlefield would have news of victory soon.

By then, Pagoda Sword Master or Ultimate Elder would definitely be able to deploy troops to aid the South battlefield.

Ye Qingtang knew what the Peerless School Sect Master was thinking of, and although it was a good idea, reality was extremely cruel.

Currently, with the You Ancient Clan increasing the number of powerful figures in the South battlefield, Ultimate Elder and Pagoda Sword Master could only barely resist the You Ancient Clan in their own battlefields, and this merely slowed down You Ancient Clan's momentum in the complete invasion.

As time passed, the poison in the You Ancient Clan members would weaken, and their skills would conversely increase, causing the annihilation of this mainland to be just a matter of time.

While Little You Yun could control the spirit energy on this mainland and produce even more Yang Lords, this was merely delaying the death of this mainland.

It was almost unrealistic to completely defeat the You Ancient Clan as its might was perhaps way beyond imagination.

It was a pity that Divine King Luo Xue and those obscure ancient clan figures who could fight against Divine King Luo Xue had already died.

Otherwise, any one of them with the power of a Yin Yang Perfected Lord Tenth Heaven could turn the situation around!

Regardless of such, no one would sit around and wait for death. Even though they knew it was impossible to succeed, they could not wait for death to arrive.

"What do you want us to do?" Elder Bai Kui looked at the Peerless School Sect Master and asked.

"Head to the battlefield and stop You Ancient Clan's continued invasion!" Peerless School Sect Master said.

The thousands of people in the hall successively looked at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang was now the absolute core of Falling Sky Valley. If she agreed, they would follow her orders as part of their incumbent duty, but if she refused, they would not listen to the Peerless School Sect Master to head to the battlefield.

"We understand. It is our foremost duty to play a part now that the mainland is in trouble. Once we are done settling with the valley's matters, we will head to the battlefield immediately to protect our homeland." Ye Qingtang looked at the Peerless School Sect Master and promised.

"Alright. I will not impose on you any further." The Peerless School Sect Master cupped his fists in gratitude and left.

After the Peerless School Sect Master left, Perfected Xuanchen looked at Ye Qingtang and asked, "Qingtang, will we be able to guard the South battlefield?"

Perfected Xuanchen had never witnessed the You Ancient Clan's prowess before; thus, he was unclear. However, if they could be so powerful that both Pagoda Sword Master and Ultimate Elder could not do much against them, they must be extremely powerful.

"Very difficult," Ye Qingtang said honestly.

The situation of the South battlefield was not optimistic, and it could even be said to be the most dangerous battlefield out of the three battlefields.

It was already very hard for the ancient clan Master, Peerless School, and Beiming Manor to resist until now.

Although Ye Qingtang did not wish to boost other people's morale and reduce one's own courage, the fact was such, and there was nothing they could do.

However, although they were unable to defeat the You Ancient Clan, the participation of the Falling Sky Valley would definitely slow down the You Ancient Clan's invasion, and there may be a turn in the situation in this period of time.

1171 A Collective Battle 4

In reality, Ye Qingtang had already made preparations to participate in the war from the start; letting Little You Yun raise everyone's skills was in preparation for this.

However, she never expected the South battlefield's situation to be so severe, and its tide of defeat was earlier than she predicted.

Given the current situation, even if the Peerless School Sect Master did not come forward personally, she would still participate in the war.

The entire mainland was at stake, and Ye Qingtang would definitely not cower.

Two days later, with Little You Yun's strength, a batch of Yin Yang Perfected Lords was produced in Falling Sky Valley again.

The majority of them were the younger generation of the Ye Family disciples.

However, the disciples' skills were lacking as compared to the senior executives: most of them were between Yin Lord Fifth Heaven and Sixth Heaven, and only a few top talents in the Ye Family were Yang Lords.

For the senior executives, such as the Ye Family Clan Master, Ye Ling, and Si Family Clan Master Si, their martial foundations were too weak, and their martial talents were ordinary. Thus, it was difficult for them to become powerful figures even with Little You Yun controlling the spirit energy.

Over this period of time, Ye Qingtang also had discussions with Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the others from Central Mainland. This war concerned their safety, and they were originally from the Central Mainland, which meant that their skills were greater than the Falling Sky Valley and Ye Family masses.

As such, Ye Qingtang suggested for them to be responsible for investigating the war situation of the You Ancient Clan and especially on their Commander.

The You Ancient Clan Commander had not shown up now, and no one knew how his skills were.

The Absolute Monarch of Heaven and the rest were most suited to investigate this.

Everyone hit off with Ye Qingtang instantly and left the valley to investigate at once.

Two days later, Ye Qingtang headed to Peerless School to look for the Sect Master and told him to bring her to the headquarters of the South battlefield.

The Peerless School Sect Master immediately led Ye Qingtang to the South battlefield headquarters quickly.

The headquarters of the South battlefield.

Peerless School Sect Master led Ye Qingtang into the main hall.

Most of the people in the hall were Yang Lords of the ancient clan, and each of them was extremely powerful.

In the secular part of this mainland, there were barely any powerful figures. Apart from Ultimate Elder and Pagoda Sword Master, the real powerful figures were in the ancient clan.

If not for the urgent situation that the mainland was facing now, the obscure hidden clan would definitely not show up.

However, despite such, they were on the losing ground when they encountered the You Ancient Clan of the Central Mainland.

A white-haired elderly was seated on the host seat in the main hall.

That elderly was the Master of the ancient clan and was also the presiding General of the South battlefield.

Although this elderly's skills could not be compared to that of Divine King Luo Xue and the powerful ancient figure whom Divine King Luo Xue killed, it was still extraordinary.

"This is Ye Qingtang," Peerless School Sect Master looked at the ancient clan Master and said.

The elderly nodded slightly and sized up Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang became a Yang Lord at such a young age and was indeed special.

However, in the obscure ancient clans between the mountains and seas, people like Ye Qingtang were not considered rare. There was an even younger yet formidable Yang Lord in the obscure ancient clans.

It was a pity that that Yang Lord was killed by a You Ancient Clan talent in the previous battle of the city.

Obscure ancient clans never appeared before anyone, and most of the people on this mainland did not know about their existence.

Even Ye Qingtang was unclear about them.

It was after seeing them today did Ye Qingtang realize how powerful the obscure ancient clan's force was.

Please go to to read the latest chapters for free

1172 A Collective Battle 5

Peerless School, Phantom Valley, and Beiming Manor were the three strongest forces of this mainland, but compared to the obscure ancient clan, they were like stones to a mountain.

The martial culture of the obscure ancient clan was very close to that of Central Mainland. If the spirit energy on this mainland was not so thin, this obscure ancient clan probably would not be short of powerful figures in the Arcane Supremacy and even Heavenly Venerate realm.

However, with the restriction of the low-level mainland, one could not be compared to a powerful figure from a high-level mainland even if he was extremely talented. Such was fate.

If the obscure ancient clan was also a force from the Central Mainland, perhaps they could fight against the You Ancient Clan.

"There are still seven cities that have not been attacked on our South battlefield. If even these last seven cities are lost, the Nine Nights Dynasty will fall to them, and it's equivalent to us losing the entire South region."

One obscure ancient clan elderly looked at the ancient clan Master and said.

Upon hearing that, the ancient clan Master wore a serious expression. The last seven cities were potent to the entire South region, and the consequences were dire should they be lost to the Ancient You Clan…

They were currently in a life and death crisis. Ye Qingtang listened from the side without interrupting them.

"How is the deployment in the seven cities?" The ancient clan master asked a moment later.

"Among the seven cities, Nine Fantasy City and Heaven City do not have sufficient people, and Heaven City's situation is particularly serious… There are ten young talents of the Ancient You Clan, with three of them guarding outside the city. Several figures who charged forward either sustained heavy injuries or were killed. Mo Feng was killed by one of those Ancient You Clan talents."

The ancient clan Master fell silent.

Ye Qingtang had heard of the South battlefield situation from the Peerless School Sect Master.

Mo Feng was the youngest talent of the obscure ancient clan. He was less than fourteen years old but had already become a Yang Lord. However, he died in the war outside Heaven City three days ago, and this was a great blow to both the obscure ancient clan and the South battlefield.

"Lord, Heaven City requires the deployment of powerful figures the most. Can Peerless School Sect Master or Phantom Valley Sect Master be deployed?" The ancient clan elderly asked.

Upon hearing that, the Peerless School Sect Master took a step forward and said, "The three mighty forces are currently guarding Sky Eagle City, and it is already a heavy toll on us. I'm afraid we are unable to leave and head to Heaven City for assistance."

All the powerful figures who were guarding each city could hardly look after themselves currently and did not have any energy to assist any other cities…

After a few breaths later, that ancient clan elderly looked at Ye Qingtang and observed her. "This lady is rather skilled at Yang Lord Eighth Heaven. She can head to Heaven City."

Ye Qingtang did not express her opinions. Everyone else in the hall was much clearer of the South battlefield's situation than her, and if there was a need, she would be bound to her duty.

"This is Miss Ye Qingtang. She is one of the Yang Lords of our mainland and is extremely skilled." Peerless School Sect Master explained.

Upon hearing that, the Beiming Manor Chief looked at Ye Qingtang coldly.

This lady annihilated Beiming Manor's subsidiary force, Yunxiao Sect, and even killed one Yang Lord from their Beiming Manor…

"Miss Ye, are you willing to head to Heaven City to support them?" The ancient clan master looked at Ye Qingtang and asked.

"Yes." Ye Qingtang nodded in agreement.

1173 Heaven City 1

Hearing that Ye Qingtang was willing to head to Heaven City, the Beiming Manor Chief snickered secretly. The powerful figure presiding over Heaven City had strong relations with him. Once Ye Qingtang reached Heaven City, she would have to listen to his commands, and by then… they just needed to let this lady die in the hands of the Ancient You Clan people…

"Alright." The ancient clan Master stood up and looked at Peerless School Sect Master. "You will be responsible for bringing Miss Ye to Heaven City."

"Noted!" Peerless School Sect Master agreed and immediately led Ye Qingtang out without any delay.

After leaving the main hall, the Peerless School Sect Master looked at Ye Qingtang and asked meaningfully, "Miss Ye, there is some conflict between you and Beiming Manor, right?"

Ye Qingtang did not deny it. Back then, Beiming Manor's Yang Lords chased after her to take her life, but one of them was killed by her instead. It was indeed considered that there were some conflicts between her and Beiming Manor then.

"Miss Ye, the commander guarding Heaven City has a deep relationship with Beiming Manor Chief. You should be careful," Peerless School Sect Master said.

Peerless School was very clear of Beiming Manor Chief's way of seeking revenge regardless of the consequences. However, in this special period of time, Peerless School Sect Master did not wish to see the people of this mainland killing each other. Thus, he reminded Ye Qingtang.

"Thank you for your reminder. I understand." Ye Qingtang nodded.

Half a day later, Ye Qingtang arrived outside a huge city with the Peerless School Sect Master showing the way.

Ahead of them was Heaven City. The surrounding city walls towered into the clouds, and the terrain was extremely steep, making the city appear to be easy to guard and difficult to attack.

Even though the current combat power of the powerful figures in Heaven City wasinsufficient, it was tough for the Ancient You Clan to forcefully conquer Heaven City as well.

Very quickly, Ye Qingtang and the Peerless School Sect Master were let into the city after revealing their identity.

"Haha, Peerless School Sect Master, it's been long."

In no time, a middle-aged man walked over with great strides to welcome them.

"Long time no see, Brother Gu Yu." Peerless School Sect Master looked at the middle-aged man and smiled. "This is Miss Ye, Ye Qingtang, one of the Yang Lords of our mainland. She is here to aid Heaven City."

A cold glint flashed across Gu Yu's eyes discreetly, though the smile remained on his face. "Miss Ye, I know you. The Eldest Young Lady of Ye Family and the Young Valley Master of Falling Sky Valley. A legendary figure of the mainland. Knowing a man by reputation is truly not as good as meeting him face to face."

"You have overpraised me." Ye Qingtang replied politely.

"Miss Ye, this is Brother Gu Yu, the overall commander of Heaven City. He is from the ancient clan and is also a Yang Lord," Peerless School Sect Master said.

"Nice to meet you." Ye Qingtang nodded.

"It is the best that Miss Ye can come to Heaven City to assist us. The three talents of the Ancient You Clan are guarding outside the city, and the youngest Yang Lord of the ancient clan, Mo Feng, lost his life in the battle three days ago. This is a huge blow to Heaven City. If not for the steep terrain of Heaven City which makes it hard to attack, it would probably have fallen already." Gu Yu sighed and shook his head.

"Please follow me."

Then, Gu Yu led Peerless School Sect Master and Ye Qingtang toward the towering city walls.

After arriving at the top of the city walls, the high position allowed one to take in the entire situation in the vicinity with the naked eye.

Furthermore, there was an ancient array formation deep in the ground of Heaven City. Any powerful figure who was in close proximity to Heaven City would be unable to fly in the air. This was also one of the greatest resources of Heaven City they could rely on.

1174 Heaven City 2

"Please take a look."

A while later, Gu Yu raised his hand and pointed afar.

Ye Qingtang and Peerless School Sect Master immediately looked in the direction that Gu Yu pointed at, and what laid before their eyes was a temporary camp.

"Brother Gu Yu, is that You Ancient Clan's camp?" Peerless School Sect Master had a solemn expression after looking at it.

Gu Yu nodded and said, "That's right, it is the You Ancient Clan's camp. They are fully prepared. Every noon, they trap us within the city and besiege the city. A few powerful figures within the city could not take this lying down and went out to counter them… In the end, there were many deaths and injuries, and even Mo Feng lost his life…" Gu Yu sighed softly as helplessness overwhelmed him.

"There are many ordinary citizens in Heaven City and we are unable to replenish the food supplies and water after being trapped in the city. The stocked supplies are already running out now…" Gu Yu shook his head.

Yang Lords like Ye Qingtang and the Peerless School Sect Master could enter the city, and You Ancient Clan would not care nor stop them. However, if they were delivering water and rations, the You Ancient Clan would definitely kill the transporter.

You Ancient Clan's invasion strategy in Heaven City was extremely obvious. There was an array formation beneath Heaven City which made flying impossible, and the city walls were too high to be broken through forcefully. However, as long as the water and ration supplies to Heaven City were broken, the You Ancient Clan could achieve victory without fighting in no time.

"Miss Ye, do you have any good ways to overcome the You Ancient Clan's strategy?" Gu Yu suddenly looked at Ye Qingtang and asked.

"None at the moment." Ye Qingtang replied honestly.

Before Gu Yu could continue speaking, Peerless School Sect Master said, "I cannot leave Sky Eagle City for too long and need to rush back now."

"Alright. Be careful on your way." Gu Yu nodded.

After Peerless School Sect Master left, Ye Qingtang looked at the situation at the bottom from the top of the city walls and frowned. Just as she had thought earlier, Heaven City's situation was bleak. However, it was fortunate that the terrains were steep, so the You Ancient Clan could not do anything in a short while.

With Ye Qingtang's arrival, Gu Yu summoned one thousand powerful figures to the top of the city walls.

With Gu Yu included, the entire Heaven City had three Yang Lords left currently, and the remaining people were at Yin Yang Perfected Lord Fourth Heaven to Sixth Heaven.

Two of the Yang Lords were heavily wounded from the battle with the You Ancient Clan talents.

The remaining powerful figures had a lukewarm attitude to Ye Qingtang.

They originally thought that the ancient clan Master would send some Yang Lords at the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eighth Heaven, but they merely sent one person, and her cultivation base was only at the mid-stage of Yang Lord Eighth Heaven though she was young. What was the use of sending her then?

Even the youngest Yang Lord talent of the ancient clan, Mo Feng, died outside the city. Without sending more Yang Lords at the peak, it was impossible to resolve this problem.

Ye Qingtang was, however, not bothered by their lukewarm attitude, and she could even understand how they feel. If it was her, she might not be anywhere better than them either.

However, the mainland party was already in a disadvantageous position in the South battlefield due to the insufficient number of powerful figures. Otherwise, the Peerless School Sect Master would not head to Falling Sky Valley to look for her.

"Miss Ye, why don't you go back to rest first? You can think of the countermeasure after recuperating and restoring your energy." Gu Yu suggested with a smile.

However, before Ye Qingtang could reply, a group of You Ancient Clan people appeared at the bottom of the city walls.

1175 Heaven City 3

There was a crowd at the foot of the city walls. Many You Ancient Clan war flags waved in a clamorous fashion.

Gu Yu and the other powerful figures in Heaven City frowned at the sight.

The incomers were the You Ancient Clan forces, and there was a continuous influx of powerful figures from the camp afar.

With a command from Gu Yu, thousands of archers rushed to all sides of the city walls and aimed their arrows at the You Ancient Clan masses beneath.

Although Heaven City lost several times and sustained heavy injuries, it enjoyed a natural advantage: the ancient array formation in the ground prevented others from flying, and the city walls were reinforced through a unique technique, which made the city impregnable. Even though there were many powerful figures from the You Ancient Clan, they had to pay a price if they wished to forcefully invade the city.

As such, the You Ancient Clan did not choose that option and instead surrounded Heaven City. Even if Heaven City did not accept the war, it was still a slow death.

"The You Ancient Clan is going too far…"

Some Heaven City figures shouted furiously.

"Don't act rashly," Gu Yu looked at them and said.

"But it is not a solution to go on like this. By then, Heaven City will also be defeated…" A heavily-injured elderly sighed.

"If the headquarters could send more powerful figures over, we would not be so passive. The headquarters should know about Heaven City's situation. Do they not care about our lives?!"

"Ah…"

"We are not abandoned, are we…"

Many powerful figures in Heaven City commented successively.

"Where is the main city this troop is based on?" Ye Qingtang asked out of a sudden.

"It's the Dragon Elephant City three hundred miles away." Gu Yu replied.

Ye Qingtang nodded lightly.

To completely resolve Heaven City's crisis, the only way was to do something in Dragon Elephant City.

"Heaven City people, are you all still not going to accept the battle today?"

At this instant, an elderly slowly walked out of a gold carriage among the You Ancient Clan masses. His cold gaze landed on the top of the city walls as he asked.

Nonetheless, there was no reply.

"Miss Ye, you just reached Heaven City and are probably not familiar with this You Ancient Clan troop. That elderly who walked down from the gold carriage is Dragon Elephant City's commander," Gu Yu looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

Ye Qingtang nodded. The elderly's skills were exceptional, and he should be a senior executive of the You Ancient Clan.

"What is the purpose of guarding Heaven City? When the resources are depleted and we invade the city, you all will just be meat on a chopping board for us to butcher." The You Ancient Clan elderly chuckled.

Everyone in Heaven City knew this logic without his reminder, but if they left the city to fight…

"If we fight, we will die. If we don't fight, we will also die. Why not just fight it out with them!"

A wounded Yang Lord elderly shouted coldly as his eyes glistened.

"Out of the ten insane talents of the You Ancient Clan, three of them are here. Even Mo Feng was killed by them… Once we leave the city to accept the battle, the consequences will be unbearable," Gu Yu said with a frown.

"Commander, you're in charge of Heaven City. What do you think we should do?" One of the powerful figures looked at Gu Yu and asked.

"The geography of this place is to our advantage. There's no need to risk our lives to fight it out with the You Ancient Clan. Let's wait awhile more. The headquarters will definitely deploy powerful figures here…" Gu Yu said.

"How long more must we wait… There are millions of people in Heaven City and millions of mouths to feed. The stored rations are simply insufficient to last them a few days… With the You Ancient Clan guarding this place, the rations team cannot enter. Even if there are powerful figures who can avoid the You Ancient Clan's spies, how many supplies can they bring with just a space ring? How would it be enough for millions of people?"

1176 Heaven City 4

"I have an idea… but…" a young man said.

"What idea is it? Do tell us."

"We do not have a rations team and are trapped by the You Ancient Clan. The stored supplies in the city are already insufficient, and if this goes on, the citizens and even we will eventually run out of supplies… Instead of that, why not we take care of ourselves first? If the stored food and water in the city are not distributed to others, it is enough for our use… By then, since the You Ancient Clan likes to besiege the city, just let them be then. We will not die from hunger or thirst anyway," the young man said.

Everyone was taken aback by what that young man said.

"I think it's feasible." Gu Yu nodded his head; he had this thought a long time ago.

"No!" That injured Yang Lord elderly resisted with a frown. "What is this! Those archers and the cultivators we recruited to counter the You Ancient Clan are all from Heaven City. Their families and loved ones are all in the city. Are we abandoning millions of lives just to exchange for peace of mind on our food supplies?"

"This is in consideration of the overall situation. If we cannot ensure sufficient food supply, the South battlefield will fall once again." Gu Yu defended.

"Miss Ye, what do you think?" Gu Yu looked at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang spoke after remaining silent for a while. "I think that the root problem is not the food supplies but the difference in combat capabilities. Even if we leave the remaining resources in Heaven City for ourselves, it is also futile."

To solve the root problem, they had to strike Dragon Elephant City.

Currently, the South battlefield was too passive, and should this go on for long, they would not be far from being completely conquered by the You Ancient Clan.

"Everyone, how about this? We will only send one person out today. If you all can win, we will retreat. What do you think?" The You Ancient Clan elderly said with a laugh.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Yu said to that You Ancient Clan elderly, "Do you mean what you say?"

That You Ancient Clan elderly laughed indifferently. "Of course. We, the You Ancient Clan, will not go back on our words."

"Good! Since you all are so confident, let's give it a try today!" Gu Yu snickered.

The You Ancient Clan elderly shot a look at a green-robed man beside him.

The green-robed man immediately took a step forward at the drumming of the You Ancient Clan war drums.

"You Tianhe from You Ancient Clan. Who is coming forward to enlighten me?" You Tianhe looked across the masses at the top of the city walls plainly.

The Heavenly City figures looked at each other. You Tianhe was one of the ten young talents of You Ancient Clan, and even the youngest Yang Lord of the ancient clan, Mo Feng, only had a draw with him.

"Humph! Arrogant!" The injured elderly sneered. "Let me meet you!"

Then, the injured elderly was about to leave the city to accept the battle.

"Wait." Suddenly, Gu Yu walked forward and stopped the injured elderly. "Miss Ye was sent by the headquarters… I wish to let Miss Ye accept this battle and let her familiarize herself with the You Ancient Clan as soon as possible… If Miss Ye is defeated, it's not too late for you to step in."

"This…"

The injured elderly looked at Ye Qingtang and said with a frown, "Miss Ye is still too young. Although her martial realm is powerful, she does not have enough foundations. Furthermore, Miss Ye does not know anything about You Tianhe, but we have fought many times. Even if I cannot defeat him, I can still flee back…"

Currently, every Yang Lord in Heaven City was extremely precious, and nothing must go wrong.

1177 Heaven City 5

Ye Qingtang was currently inspecting the foot of the city walls. The poison in the You Ancient Clan members was already greatly weakened, and many of them had a significant increase in their skills, with several Yang Lords present.

Ye Qingtang was a little helpless. Ling Yan should have laced a more toxic poison back then and kill all of these bastards…

While that was what she thought, she knew that it was simply unrealistic.

Ling Yan laced poison on a large scale, and the effects of poison would be greatly diminished once it dissolved in water no matter how toxic the poison was. Furthermore, most of the people from the You Ancient Clan were in the Arcane Supremacy, Divine Arcane Supremacy, and even Heavenly Venerate realm. Thus, it was almost impossible to poison them to death. If the poison was too strong, it would be easily detected as well.

What Ling Yan had done was already a great help to this mainland. If not for Ling Yan, this mainland would not have lasted to this day and would probably have been annihilated within several days of the You Ancient Clan's invasion.

"Miss Ye just reached Heaven City… I'm afraid it's not good… if she goes out to accept the battle now…" The injured elderly looked at Gu Yu and said with a frown.

However, Gu Yu shook his head and replied. "No matter what, Miss Ye is a Yang Lord sent by the headquarters. Although she is young, she must have a forte. Sending Miss Ye to the field would be the best. If she wins, we can also drive the You Ancient Clan out."

"Uh…" The injured elderly was hesitant. What Gu Yu said seemed to make sense, but… that You Tianhe was too powerful and was one of the ten great young talents of the You Ancient Clan. If Ye Qingtang was highly-skilled, she should all the more stay in Heaven City to observe the fight. It was not too late to challenge You Tianhe after she completely understood him…

"Alright, there's no need to talk much. Let's decide it as such." Gu Yu waved his hand and stopped the injured elderly from speaking again.

"Alright…" The injured elderly no longer spoke anything else.

Gu Yu was the overall commander of Heaven City, and others would oblige unconditionally once Gu Yu made a decision. This was the rule of the battlefield.

"Miss Ye, do you have any issues?" Gu Yu looked at Ye Qingtang quickly and chuckled.

"Senior Gu Yu is the overall commander of Heaven City. Since you have already made the decision, I will not have any issues," Ye Qingtang said.

Obviously, Ye Qingtang knew what Gu Yu was plotting.

Before she came to Heaven City, she had already heard from the Peerless School Sect Master that this Gu Yu seemed to be very close to the Beiming Manor Chief.

Ye Qingtang initially believed that in the face of a calamity, everyone would be united to defeat the enemy. Yet, this Gu Yu was so short-sighted.

She should not be the first to go up regardless of any aspect as she did not know anything about You Tianhe. If she was the overall commander, she would definitely let the newcomer observe the battle first and then send them to the field once the newcomer had a rough understanding of the You Ancient Clan figures.

The You Ancient Clan's martial skills and foundations were much more powerful than that of this mainland from the start, and hastily countering them would only result in the huge likelihood of death.

Of course, Ye Qingtang would not dispute with Gu Yu right now. After all, Gu Yu was the overall commander of Heaven City while she was a Yang Lord sent over to support them. Gu Yu indeed had the right to do this. Thus, Ye Qingtang would not comment much.

"Haha, good. Miss Ye is indeed as courageous as a man. I wish you a victory in your first battle!" Gu Yu nodded and said.

Immediately, Ye Qingtang leaped down from the city walls and landed on the ground.

Seeing that it was a young lady, the You Ancient Clan lady snickered. "Why? Does the South battlefield not have anyone already? You all actually sent a little lady here to accept the battle."

Gu Yu shouted coldly from the top of the city walls. "I think you all are the joke. Miss Ye is a powerful figure sent by the headquarters. She is already a Yang Lord at a young age. Today will definitely be the day you die!"

Upon hearing that, the You Ancient Clan elderly snickered and signaled a finger at the man beside him. "Tianhe, kill this so-called young powerful figure sent by the headquarters."

With the order, the green-robed man walked forward expressionlessly.

The You Ancient Clan army immediately retreated to make space for a large battlefield for Ye Qingtang and You Tianhe.

"Miss Ye, we believe that you will definitely be able to behead this You Tianhe given your skills." Gu Yu's voice traveled down very quickly.

Ye Qingtang sized up Gu Yu discreetly. It seemed that this overall commander of Heaven City really wanted her to die in the hands of You Tianhe.

"On the account that you're a lady and that you're so young, I'll spare you three moves. After three moves, I will chop your head down." You Tianhe stared at Ye Qingtang and said coldly.

"Spare me three moves…" Ye Qingtang sized up You Tianhe meaningfully. "That's generous of you. I will not refuse it if that's the case."

The You Ancient Clan's arrogance was what Ye Qingtang wished to see. This was a battlefield, and if her enemy wanted to spare her three moves, it was impossible for Ye Qingtang to reject it.

Suddenly, without any warning, Ye Qingtang turned into a white shadow at an extremely high speed that even the You Ancient Clan elderly afar could not help but be stunned. That lady's speed and movement were truly exceptional!

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Qingtang was already in front of You Tianhe. A glint flashed across her eyes immediately, and she rammed a fist at You Tianhe.

You Tianhe's eyes widened after sensing the force in Ye Qingtang's punch, and he raised his hand to block it instinctively.

Boom Boom!!

A thunderous roar reverberated throughout the place.

Under everyone's shocked watch, You Tianhe trembled intensely and staggered more than ten steps backward. It was only when he planted his feet on the ground did he finally diffuse the force from Ye Qingtang's punch and stabilize himself.

"He fought… fought back?!"

The scene shocked all the archers and powerful figures at the top of the city walls.

Ye Qingtang's cold gaze landed on You Tianhe, who was a few meters away from her, and she said indifferently, "The You Ancient Clan never goes back on their words. I believe everyone heard you promise that you would spare me three moves, but you fought back at the first move. That is disappointing."

You Tianhe's eyes turned golden. This lady was much more powerful than that young Mo Feng from that day. If he did not retaliate the force from that punch just now, the consequences would have been dire…

"Tianhe, kill her!" The You Ancient Clan elderly shouted furiously.

As the elderly spoke finish, an astonishing sword intent emerged around You Tianhe's body.

The supposed sword intent was willpower cultivated by powerful figures of the Sword Dao. As long as this willpower was sufficiently powerful, it could annihilate anyone with just the slash of a sword!

1179 Victory

Sensing the force of the sword intent radiating out from You Tianhe, Ye Qingtang's mind, qi, and spirit escalated to the peak instantly.

Ye Qingtang was not under too much pressure to face these young powerful figures of You Ancient Clan, and there should be no issue as long as she fought carefully.

At this instant, You Tianhe gripped the sword handle at his waist, and his eyes were cold. The power of the sword intent intensified. Strong winds raked up in the surroundings and kicked up dust everywhere, resembling the arrival of a natural disaster that struck terror in one's heart.

The masses at the top of the city walls of Heaven City frowned deeply, and many were worried for Ye Qingtang.

Even the youngest ancient clan Young Lord, Mo Feng, almost could not resist the force of You Tianhe's sword intent, which seemed to be much more powerful and frightening than that time!

Ye Qingtang did not dare to be careless in the face of such a powerful sword intent willpower.

"You may die from this blow," You Tianhe looked at Ye Qingtang expressionlessly and said.

Ye Qingtang scoffed. "I look forward to it."

As Ye Qingtang finished her sentence, You Tianhe raised his right shoulder, and a slashing sound pierced the air. In a flash, a terrifying sword gleam seemed to befall from the heavens and aimed towards Ye Qingtang.

This sword intent was extremely horrifying and was loaded with an inexplicable destructive force.

Many powerful figures at the top of the city walls were stunned. The force of this sword intent was a large upgrade when compared to before…

The corner of Gu Yu's lips tugged up slightly into an undetectable sneer. He had two motives for sending Ye Qingtang to accept the battle. One was to deplete You Tianhe's combat capability as his combat capability would diminish greatly for a short period of time after using the sword intent.

The second was to let Ye Qingtang die on the battlefield to help the Beiming Manor Chief vent his anger. A mere Yang Lord Eighth Heaven cultivator was not indispensable to Heaven City…

Gu Yu's smile deepened as he watched a streak of sword intent slash out. He was extremely clear of You Tianhe's combat capability, and Ye Qingtang would definitely be unable to block his full-blown sword intent attack no matter what she did.

Nevertheless, almost instantly, Gu Yu's smile froze on his face utterly.

Ye Qingtang actually turned into a pitch-black flame before everyone's eyes.

The force of the flame surged into the sky as though it was the very first spark of flame since the dawn of history.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, the black flame crashed into You Tianhe's sword intent violently.

At that moment, the sound of explosions rang incessantly. It was as though the sky had shattered and the end of the world had arrived.

The searing heat waves produced from the harsh crash of the sword intent and the flame flooded the surroundings. Some less-skilled You Ancient Clan figures who were nearby were instantly swept hundreds of meters away by the impact.

In the next second, You Tianhe's face paled, and blood seeped out from the corner of his lips as he staggered backward continuously.

Once the force of the sword intent completely dispersed, the black flame condensed rapidly, and Ye Qingtang appeared before everyone again.

"Good fight," Ye Qingtang said coldly as she looked at You Tianhe.

You Tianhe was silent for some time before finally speaking. "I lost…"

1180 Defend 1

"Lost…?"

The Ancient You Clan elderly was astonished that You Tianhe actually lost to a lady…

After a temporary silence, the people in Heaven City cheered excitedly. This was the second time Heaven City defeated Ancient You Clan since it was surrounded.

"Miss Ye is indeed amazing!"

"Look. I said that the headquarters would not abandon Heaven City, but some of you still belittled Miss Ye just now…"

"Hahaha. Nice. Look at the Ancient You Clan people's expression… They must have never thought that You Tianhe would be defeated."

Ye Qingtang subsequently looked up at Ancient You Clan elderly and said, "You all said that as long as someone from Heaven City can win, you will automatically retreat. I wonder if the Ancient You Clan will go back on their words for the second time."

A cold glint flashed across the Ancient You Clan elderly's eyes after he heard what Ye Qingtang said, and he sized up Ye Qingtang a few more times. Ultimately, he scoffed and led the Ancient You Clan masses away.

A flurry of cheers erupted in Heaven City.

After the Ancient You Clan masses left completely, the gates of Heaven City opened, and Ye Qingtang entered the city.

"Miss Ye is indeed extraordinary. It seems that my decision this time is right." Gu Yu looked at Ye Qingtang and forced a laugh.

Ye Qingtang sized up Gu Yu several times without saying anything.

"Miss Ye is tired from the long journey and even fought the Ancient You Clan. She worked hard and attained great merits. I will host a banquet for Miss Ye tonight," said Gu Yu.

"There's no need for a banquet. Heaven City is short of rations right now. Save whatever we can," Ye Qingtang said.

"Haha. It really isn't easy for Miss Ye to be able to consider these at such a young age… Alright, since that's the case, Miss Ye may rest first. I have already arranged a resting place for Miss Ye," Gu Yu said.

Ye Qingtang did not refuse and followed them to a small pavilion at a rather secluded corner.

"Miss Ye."

At this instant, Ling Yan's voice traveled into Ye Qingtang's ears.

Ye Qingtang immediately took out her voice transmission stone. "I thought you died."

Ling Yan chuckled lightly. "How will I dare to die when I haven't managed to see Miss Ye again?"

Ye Qingtang frowned slightly.

Can't Ling Yan… talk properly…

Ye Qingtang could vaguely hear that Ling Yan's side was a little noisy.

Ye Qingtang asked instinctively, "Where are you?"

"In a prison," replied Ling Yan.

Ye Qingtang was stunned.

"Prison?"

After they parted the other time, Ling Yan returned to Central Mainland safely. Why was…

Why was he in prison now?!

"Yes." There was a hint of laughter in Ling Yan's voice, and he completely did not seem like he was imprisoned.

"I am the Eternal Dynasty's Third Prince. My father has aged, and there is a fight for the throne now. I believe Miss Ye knows some things about this too."

Ye Qingtang was shocked after hearing what Ling Yan said. "You… lost the fight?"

"That's not the case," Ling Yan said. "I've never had any interest in being the Emperor of a dynasty. However, one of my brothers and sister viewed me as a threat. Thus, they joined forces and sent me to prison. I wish to get some silence, and it's also perfect for me now that I can chat with you."

"…" Ye Qingtang stared blankly at the voice transmission stone.

In this world, perhaps only Ling Yan would "stay" in a prison to find peace…

It was amazing how he could still be this calm at this moment.

"However, I am looking for you for something." Before Ye Qingtang spoke, Ling Yan's tone changed, and there was a rare seriousness in his tone. "Miss Ye, listen to me seriously right now…"

"I'm listening. Do you want me to save you?" Ye Qingtang responded.

"There's no need to save me but… Miss Ye, I wish for you to leave the mainland that you are in right now and head to the Eternal Dynasty immediately," Ling Yan said.

"Now? Go to the Eternal Dynasty?" Ye Qingtang was slightly dumbfounded.

Why did Ling Yan's words make her increasingly confused?

One second ago, he said there was no need to rescue him, but in the next, he wanted her to head to the Eternal Dynasty immediately?

Was this not requiring any rescue?

Although Ye Qingtang complained in her heart, worry crept into her heart unknowingly.

"After we chase the Ancient You Clan away, I will go look for you in the Eternal Dynasty… You are not in any danger right now, are you?" Ye Qingtang questioned carefully.

Ling Yan was Eternal Dynasty's Third Prince after all, and the next Emperor was not set yet. The old Emperor had not died, and the Eldest Prince and Princess probably still did not dare to kill Ling Yan.

Given Ling Yan's intellect, Ye Qingtang believed that it would be an easy feat for Ling Yan if he wished to leave the prison, and he must have his own objectives for staying in the prison.

"Miss Ye, you may be mistaken… What I mean is for you to leave the mainland that you are in immediately."

"Immediately?" Ye Qingtang's brows furrowed slightly. The mainland's crisis was not resolved yet, and Ancient You Clan had a powerful army. How could she leave now?

Why was Ling Yan so urgent for her to leave…

"Miss Ye… I know you are confused, but if you believe me, you must follow what I say," Ling Yan said again.

"I naturally believe you, but I want to know why," Ye Qingtang said.

She trusted Ling Yan, but how could she easily abandon everything and leave when they were in a fierce war now?

This time, Ling Yan did not reply to Ye Qingtang immediately. There was a silence on the other side of the voice transmission stone.

A long time later, Ling Yan's voice finally traveled out from the voice transmission stone. "Because you will die."

Ye Qingtang was dumbfounded by what Ling Yan said.

She… would die…

Ye Qingtang did not have any suspicions about what Ling Yan said.

Ling Yan possessed the Karma Bloodline and had the power of karma. If Ling Yan calculated that she would die with the power of karma, then she…

Would definitely die…

"Does my death have any value to this mainland…" Ye Qingtang remained silent for a while and suddenly asked.

"If you leave, the mainland that you are in will probably be annihilated, and the Ancient You Clan would become even more powerful… If you don't leave, this mainland may be saved… But the price is that you will die." Ling Yan's voice traveled from the voice transmission stone.

"It is also to say that… my death will win a chance of survival for this mainland, right?" Ye Qingtang was calm as though she did not hear the prediction that she would die.

"It should be so. The power of karma can only predict these at this stage." Ling Yan replied.

Ye Qingtang looked down slightly. Familiar faces flashed by in her mind.

It was easy for her to leave this mainland, but what would happen to Little You Yun, Ye Family, Si Family, Xuanling Sect, and Falling Sky Valley?

Perhaps, Ye Qingtang could avoid the You Ancient Clan's watch if she left alone discreetly, but it was almost unrealistic if Ye Qingtang wished to bring everyone with her.

1182 Defend 3

Since Ye Qingtang believed Ling Yan's calculation, she would die if she stayed.

She naturally also believed his calculation that this mainland would be completely wiped out once she left.

If she left, her loved ones whom she tried so hard to protect until now…

Ye Qingtang closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The next time she opened her eyes, they were filled with determination.

"If that's the case, I will not leave then," Ye Qingtang said resolutely.

In her previous life, she lost everything at a young age and had no one to care for. She had tasted such qualms and regret for three hundred years.

In this life, even if she knew she would die, she still wished to protect the people whom she cared about.

Ling Yan remained silent for a moment after hearing Ye Qingtang's reply. Sometime later, his voice could be heard again, though the usual trace of laughter in his tone was absent this time.

"Miss Ye, other people's life or death have nothing to do with me. I only wish to protect you and ensure that you are safe."

Ye Qingtang was taken aback by Ling Yan, and her lips tugged up into a smile uncontrollably.

"Thank you…"

Ye Qingtang looked at the wide sky through the window of the pavilion.

"Ling Yan, my family and friends are in this mainland… If I get lucky and don't die, I will definitely go to the Eternal Dynasty to rescue you."

Without waiting for Ling Yan to say anything more, Ye Qingtang switched off her voice transmission stone. She looked at the little white tiger that was sleeping soundly beside her and then kept the voice transmission stone.

Ye Qingtang believed that humans could control their destiny. Her life should be controlled by herself and should not be left to destiny.

Even if she was really going to die in this great war, she would crawl out from hell once again.

Having lived two lives, she had too many ties and people she cared for in this mainland. No matter how dangerous the road ahead was, she would not abandon her friends and family and leave alone.

In this life, she must protect them to the very end.

The wind blew in the dark night. Ye Qingtang remained awake the entire night.

In the early hours of the next day, a young teen knocked on Ye Qingtang's door and informed her that Gu Yu called her to the main hall.

Ye Qingtang immediately left her room and followed the young teen to Heaven City's meeting hall.

Many powerful figures in Heaven City were already there, and Gu Yu was seated at the host seat.

Noticing that Ye Qingtang had arrived, many powerful figures looked at Ye Qingtang amiably.

Ye Qingtang's victory over You Tianhe of the Ancient You Clan yesterday had won a small chance of survival for Heaven City and helped them vent their anger.

"Haha. Miss Ye is here. Quickly take a seat," Gu Yu said with a smile.

Ye Qingtang nodded and sat on an empty seat at the left.

"Alright, since everyone is here, let's discuss how to counter the Ancient You Clan's attack on Heaven City today." Gu Yu swept a glance across everyone and said.

Upon hearing that, many powerful figures looked at each other and had nothing to say for a moment. How would they know how to tackle the Ancient You Clan's strategy of surrounding the city?

"Miss Ye, do you have any good ideas?" Gu Yu's eyes landed on Ye Qingtang when he saw that everyone was silent.

"Senior Gu Yu is the overall General. Our opinions and ideas are not important. Since you assembled us together to discuss the matter, I believe you should have thought of a sound plan," Ye Qingtang said without hesitation.

1183 Attack 1

With a light chuckle, Gu Yu nodded and said, "Miss Ye is right. I do have some solutions in mind."

"Brother Gu Yu, what solutions do you have?"

The injured elderly asked hurriedly.

"Everyone, although Heaven City's steep terrains make it easy to defend and hard to attack, it will definitely be invaded in no time if we remain trapped. Everything is only a matter of time," Gu Yu said.

There was a flurry of discussions after Gu Yu spoke. Everyone was also aware of what Gu Yu said, but there were no good solutions.

"So, we have to attack Dragon Elephant City to solve the root problem… Dragon Elephant City is the main city of their team. If we can make an issue in Dragon Elephant City, the pressing emergency will automatically be resolved," Gu Yu said with a smile.

"Make an issue in Dragon Elephant City?" Everyone was surprised to hear that. Dragon Elephant City was the headquarters of the troop of the Ancient You Clan army surrounding Heaven City. Wasn't whoever daring to head to Dragon Elephant city courting death?!

"If we can set a fire in Dragon Elephant City… and burn the rations for this Ancient You Clan troop, they will definitely rush back to Dragon Elephant City… By then, rations can be transported from the headquarters into the city…" Gu Yu smiled.

"Mhm, what Brother Gu Yu said is indeed an excellent idea. As long as we can make this troop that encircled Heaven City believe that their headquarters in Dragon Elephant City is attacked, they will rush back immediately!" One of the young powerful figures nodded repeatedly.

"Brother Gu Yu, although the idea is pretty good… the price we have to pay is too great. At least several Yang Lords will have to head to Dragon Elephant City to make it seem that Dragon Elephant City is attacked. However, those Yang Lords would probably lose their lives in Dragon Elephant City then…" The injured elderly commented with a frown.

"There's no need," Gu Yu shook his head and said. "We only need to send one Yang Lord and dozens of ordinary soldiers."

"Do you have anyone in mind then, Brother Gu Yu?" A powerful figure looked at Gu Yu and asked.

This Yang Lord who headed to Dragon Elephant City was highly likely to die, and no one was willing to seek death.

The mission to head to Dragon Elephant City was no different from offering one's life.

"Brother Gu Yu, do you have any candidates in mind?" The injured elderly asked.

"Yes, I already do." Gu Yu nodded, and his gaze subsequently landed on Ye Qingtang.

Noticing the situation, someone asked, "Brother Gu Yu, are you planning to let Miss Ye head to Dragon Elephant City?"

"Yes." Gu Yu nodded and said, "Everyone has witnessed Miss Ye's skills today. If anyone else headed to Dragon Elephant City, they might not return, but if Miss Ye went instead, there should not be too great of a problem."

The powerful figures in the hall appeared rather surprised to hear that.

No matter how powerful Ye Qingtang was, it was impossible for her to head to Dragon Elephant City alone and still return unscathed.

However, if Ye Qingtang did not go, they would be the ones who had to head to Dragon Elephant City…

"Everyone, this mission to attack Dragon Elephant City will be handed to Miss Ye. Does anyone have any objections… If anyone thinks that they are more suitable than Miss Ye for this mission, you may come forward as well." Gu Yu swept a look across the scene and smiled.

However, no one spoke up at this moment as no one wished to go to Dragon Elephant City.

1184 Attack 2

"Miss Ye, do you have any problems?" Seeing that no one had any opinions, Gu Yu nodded in satisfaction and looked toward Ye Qingtang.

"No." Ye Qingtang replied.

Gu Yu was slightly shocked to hear Ye Qingtang; he originally thought that Ye Qingtang would not be willing to head to Dragon Elephant City, and he would have to spend time to persuade her or even use his identity as the overall general in the end.

Nonetheless, what Gu Yu did not expect was that Ye Qingtang agreed so straightforwardly.

"Good. Miss Ye is indeed extraordinary. This mission is extremely tough. Miss Ye needs to disguise herself as a troop to attack Dragon Elephant City, and the Ancient You Clan masses encircling Heaven City will definitely return… By then, Miss Ye just needs to retreat, and the mission will be completed," Gu Yu said with a smile.

Saying it was more than easy, but who could retreat safely when being surrounded by the Ancient You Clan powerful figures…

"I will do my best," Ye Qingtang looked at Gu Yu and said.

"Miss Ye can select any one hundred soldiers from Heaven City as long as they are not Yang Lords." Gu Yu added on.

"There's no need. I am fine alone." Ye Qingtang refused.

Ye Qingtang's refusal to bring anyone else aligned with Gu Yu's intention. "Alright. You can make some preparations and set off tonight then."

After the meeting ended, Ye Qingtang turned and left the hall.

Late at night, Ye Qingtang left Heaven City and turned into a bolt of light, darting towards Dragon Elephant City.

When she was five kilometers away from Dragon Elephant City, she stopped.

"Come out," Ye Qingtang said softly.

In the next second, the masses who were supposed to be in Falling Sky Valley, however, walked out from the dark, with the Blood Moon Elder's enormous body being the most eye-catching.

The root problem of Heaven City was the insufficient number of powerful figures. As such, Ye Qingtang had already notified the people in Falling Sky Valley to head to Heaven City to defend it.

However, Gu Yu made Ye Qingtang pretend to attack Dragon Elephant City today, and as such, she might as well lead the Falling Sky Valley army to completely conquer Dragon Elephant City.

"Mo… ther…"

Little Luo Xue ran out from the crowd and hugged Ye Qingtang's calf immediately.

Ye Qingtang grinned and hugged Little Luo Xue and Little You Yun in her arms.

Falling Sky Valley was no longer safe. The Ancient You Clan wanted to obtain the full power of the Spiritual Abode and thus had to obtain Little You Yun first. Hence, Ye Qingtang would not let them remain in Falling Sky Valley, and staying by her side was the safest way.

"Eldest Young Lady, we received your letter today and did not head to Heaven City but waited here instead as per your orders." Daoist Zijin walked forward and told Ye Qingtang.

"Good." With a brief nod, Ye Qingtang said, "Let's attack and capture Dragon Elephant City together!"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded successively and shouted.

The group of powerful figures traveled in the air and flew towards Dragon Elephant City.

In no time, Ye Qingtang and the rest arrived in Dragon Elephant City.

Many powerful figures in Dragon Elephant City were sent to besiege Heaven City, and there were not many powerful figures in Dragon Elephant City currently. Thus, capturing the city did not require great effort for Ye Qingtang.

"Kill!"

At this instant, Elder Bai Kui shouted furiously and took the lead to charge into Dragon Elephant City.

Dozens of Yang Lords, including Blood Moon Elder's combat abilities, made them an immensely powerful army!

1185 Attack 3

"There's a surprise attack. Quickly inform the General!"

A You Ancient Clan powerful figure saw dozens of Yang Lords in the air, and his expression changed drastically. The South battlefield was already in their control, so where did these dozens of Yang Lords appear from?!

"Die!"

With a furious yell, Blood Moon Elder stepped forward and crushed that You Ancient Clan powerful figure with his foot.

"Elder… Elder Yin Fo has mutinied!"

Plenty of powerful figures were shocked when they noticed the Blood Moon Elder's enormous body invading Dragon Elephant City and killing the You Ancient Clan people.

A huge war erupted in Dragon Elephant City at this instant, with dozens of Yang Lords and hundreds of young disciples within Yin Yang Perfected Lord Fourth Heaven to Sixth Heaven launching attacks under Ye Qingtang's lead.

There were few people defending Elephant Dragon City to begin with. In just an hour, the Ancient You Clan figures defending Dragon Elephant City were all killed; thus, Dragon Elephant City was conquered by Ye Qingtang.

Sometime later, the You Ancient Clan army finally received the news and rushed back to Dragon Elephant City at top speed.

However, the overall General's expression changed once he returned to Dragon Elephant City. The city had already fallen and was conquered by that lady who defeated You Tianhe!

"You have a death wish!"

The elderly, who was the overall General of this troop, bellowed loudly. "Attack Dragon Elephant City. Spare no one!"

Nonetheless, just as he spoke, the Blood Moon Elder appeared and stared at the elderly from a commanding position, thanks to his enormous body, which made him look like a giant. "Come and try to attack."

"Elder Yin Fo…"

The You Ancient Clan was shocked to see the Blood Moon Elder. Elder Yin Fo actually… mutinied?!

In a flash, dozens of Yang Lords floated above Dragon Elephant City with hundreds of Yin Yang Perfected Lord soldiers at both sides. It was an appalling force.

"The South battlefield… actually has so many more Yang Lords?!" The elderly's expression changed.

Currently, Dragon Elephant City was conquered by many powerful figures, and it was unrealistic if they wished to attack by force especially when the Blood Moon Elder's combat abilities were overly frightening…

"Haha… Good, you all can conquer Dragon Elephant City and not come out. Wait for us to invade Heaven City!" The elderly had a gloomy expression as he roared in fury.

"Whatever," Ye Qingtang said coldly.

Since Dragon Elephant City was already conquered, Ye Qingtang would naturally not give it out, and using Heaven City to threaten her was even more of a joke.

For an instant, both parties were in a stalemate, with one party encircling the city from the outside while the other remained in the city.

"Let's go!"

Sometime later, the You Ancient Clan elderly shouted coldly and led the You Ancient Clan away from Dragon Elephant City.

The people in the city cheered boisterously upon noticing the situation.

After ascertaining that this You Ancient Clan troop left completely, Ye Qingtang headed to the hall of the main city.

The You Ancient Clan left plenty of resources behind in Dragon Elephant City: apart from large quantities of food and water, there were still many treasures stored.

Elder Bai Kui exclaimed in a secret chamber of the main hall, and he subsequently walked toward Ye Qingtang with a jet-black gourd in his hands.

"Eldest Young Lady, look at this!" Elder Bai Kui walked forward and handed the jet-black gourd to Ye Qingtang.

"Heaven Soul Gourd…" Ye Qingtang took the black gourd over and was surprised after inspecting it for a while.

Heaven Soul Gourd was one of the ultimate Dharma treasures of this mainland. It could gather the power of souls and had been lost for a long time. No one expected that it was actually obtained by the You Ancient Clan and was placed in Dragon Elephant City.

1186 Look At The Big Picture 1

"Haha! Eldest Young Lady, this Ancient You Clan troop left many Dharma treasures in Dragon Elephant City, and this Heaven Soul Gourd is only one of them. Many Black-grade spirit weapons can only be used by people in the Yin Yang Perfected Lord realm. These spirit weapons are numerous, and a portion of them should be ones stolen by the Ancient You Clan from this mainland…" Elder Bai Kui looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

Upon hearing that, Ye Qingtang nodded slightly and said, "Distribute all the Black-grade weapons and Dharma treasures and dispatch some scouts to gain intel on that Ancient You Clan troop."

"Yes!"

Elder Bai Kui turned around and left.

"Qingtang!"

Just as Elder Bai Kui left, Valley Master Xuanchen and Daoist Zijin rushed over to the hall hurriedly.

"Eldest Young Lady, that team indeed attacked Heaven City by force!" Daoist Zijin looked at Ye Qingtang and informed her quickly.

"Oh…"

Ye Qingtang was in thought after hearing Daoist Zijin. Her guess was indeed right.

"What is the outcome of the battle?" Ye Qingtang asked.

"It is still unclear as of now…" Perfected Xuanchen paused for a while before continuing, "However, Heaven City is easy to defend and hard to attack. Although there are not many powerful figures in the city, it has many natural advantages… If that Ancient You Clan attacks Heaven City by force, it can conquer it, but… they will have to pay a large price too."

After knowing that the Ancient You Clan troop began to attack Heaven City by force, Ye Qingtang, however, ordered everyone to rest in Dragon Elephant City.

In Heaven City.

A faint light shot into the sky. Screams and roars filled the air.

Many powerful figures arrived at the top of the city walls. With Gu Yu's orders, thousands of archers released arrows at the numerous Ancient You Clan masses at the bottom at the same time.

"Why is… Ancient You Clan attacking Heaven City by force?!" A flustered young powerful figure asked.

"It's that Ye Qingtang…" An old elderly gritted his teeth and said, "That lady used some means and actually conquered Dragon Elephant City… and even refused to return the city. The Ancient You Clan lost their headquarters and thus displaced their anger on us… Otherwise, they would never attack Heaven City by force!"

"Humph!" Gu Yu sneered coldly. "Send an envoy to Dragon Elephant City immediately and tell Ye Qingtang to return the city!"

"I'll go," said a certain young powerful figure.

…

In Dragon Elephant City, a Ye Family disciple entered the main hall briskly and cupped his fists at Ye Qingtang. "Eldest Young Lady, a Heaven City envoy requests for an audience!"

Ye Qingtang was indifferent and spoke a moment later. "Bring him in."

Soon, the Ye Family disciple led a young powerful figure from Heaven City into the main hall.

Ye Qingtang had some memory of this young powerful figure.

"Miss Ye, you stirred up huge trouble this time!" The young powerful figure wore an exasperated expression as he walked into the main hall.

With the flick of her sleeves, Ye Qingtang turned to look at the young powerful figure and asked coldly, "Oh? What do you mean by that?"

The young powerful figure snorted. "General only wanted you to create a false image of Dragon Elephant City being attacked so that the rations from the headquarters can enter Heaven City successfully. However, you took down Dragon Elephant City and angered the Ancient You Clan people who are attacking Heaven City by force now. How can you bear such a consequence, Miss Ye!"

After a moment of silence, Ye Qingtang suddenly snickered from her host seat. "I'm afraid you have misunderstood some things."

"Oh… misunderstood some things? What do you mean by that, Miss Ye?!" The young powerful figure asked with a frown.

"Firstly, the Ancient You Clan is this mainland's enemy. Being able to conquer their main city is my capability and my freedom. Secondly, I don't belong to any camp and only wish to protect the ordinary cultivators of this mainland. When I headed to Heaven City to provide support, I was there as an ally not as your subordinate," replied Ye Qingtang.

"What did you say?!" The young powerful figure was instantly enraged. "Ye Qingtang, I don't care what you plan to do. Return Dragon Elephant City to the Ancient You Clan immediately! Otherwise, can you bear the responsibility of Heaven City being conquered!"

Ye Qingtang shook her head as she sized up the young man before her. "People like you are really the product of this mainland's dark era."

"You…!"

The young powerful figure glared at her furiously, and his martial aura surged into the sky.

However, before he could take any action, Elder Bai Kui, Daoist Zijin, and the other Yang Lords entered the hall and eyed that young powerful figure coldly.

"This…"

The young powerful figure was startled and extremely shocked to see many Yang Lords in the hall suddenly. How was there still such a force in the South battlefield?!

Could it be that Ye Qingtang could conquer Dragon Elephant City because of this force…

"Young man, I will spare your life today on the account that you are also a citizen of this mainland."

"Hahaha, Valley Master Xuanchen, if the Ancient You Clan is willing to recruit a lackey, this kind of person will definitely be the first to wag his tail at and surrender to them. Why not just kill him?"

"Forget it… The great war has already begun. Even if they die, it's better to die on the battlefield," Daoist Zijin said.

At this instant, the young powerful figure remained rooted to the ground rather stiffly and even did not dare to breathe loudly. There were many Yang Lords in the hall, and it would only take a second for them to take his life…

"Scram off to where you came from!" Ye Qingtang shouted sometime later with an icy gaze.

"Get lost!" Valley Master Xuanchen said with a frown when he saw that the young powerful figure did not move.

"Fare… Farewell…"

The young powerful figure gritted his teeth and left.

Once he was out of Dragon Elephant City, Elder Bai Kui looked at Ye Qingtang and said, "This kind of people truly deserve to die. We conquered the Ancient You Clan's main city, but he still wanted us to return it to the Ancient You Clan. What does he view us as?!"

Since when was there a logic where one had to return the enemy's home ground back to the enemy during a war?

Gu Yu and the rest merely wished to protect themselves and did not consider the situation of the entire war; they actually wanted Ye Qingtang to give up on the won victory in order to ensure their personal safety.

How could such a selfish person become a general?!

"Humph! I really don't know what to say!" Valley Master Xuanchen said coldly.

"We should have killed him just now. He is a scourge even if we spare him." A Peak Master of Falling Sky Valley commented.

Ye Qingtang shook her head. "What Elder Zijin said just now is right. Even if they die, they should die on the battlefield."

"Eldest Young Lady, what should we do next?" Elder Bai Kui looked at Ye Qingtang and asked.

Almost the entire South battlefield had fallen to the enemy's hands, and only the ancient clan Master's area was still struggling to hold out. However, they might not hold out much longer, and the South was to be lost…

"Wait." Ye Qingtang gazed afar as she uttered slowly.

The war had already begun, and everyone, including herself, may die…

Ye Qingtang could not be certain of the outcome, and what she could do now was to take one step at a time and protect Little You Yun.

Two days later, there was finally news from the scouts that Ye Qingtang sent out.

"Reporting! The Ancient You Clan conquered Heaven City fully in half a day!" The scouts entered the hall and informed Ye Qingtang and the rest with cupped fists.

"How is that Ancient You Clan troop?" Ye Qingtang asked.

"There are many casualties. One of the three young talents of the Ancient You Clan died. Heaven City also has a high casualty rate!"

"Continue to get more information!" A glint flashed across Ye Qingtang's eyes as she waved her sleeves.

"Yes!"

…

Half a day later, the scouts notified that the entire Heaven City had been conquered completely and that Gu Yu and the other powerful figures were fleeing toward Dragon Elephant City at top speed.

Ye Qingtang immediately led the rest to the top of the city walls and inspected the place ahead.

Fifteen minutes later, as reported by the scouts, Gu Yu and the other powerful figures from Heaven City were fleeing toward Dragon Elephant City swiftly like homeless dogs. In no time, they reached the foot of the city walls with dozens of Ancient You Clan figures right at their tails.

"Miss Ye, hurry up and let us in!" Gu Yu looked at Ye Qingtang and said repeatedly.

However, Ye Qingtang did not have the slightest intention to open the city gates.

"Ye Qingtang, what is the meaning of this?! Brother Gu Yu is the overall general of Heaven City. How dare you defy his orders?!"

Several Heaven City figures looked at Ye Qingtang and shouted sternly immediately.

Ye Qingtang, however, snickered coldly. "That is not so. I just feel that your battle has not ended."

"What did you say?!" Gu Yu's eyes twinkled coldly.

"Did I not say it clearly enough? You all have not finished this battle. I believe that given your skills, facing ten or so Ancient You Clan figures will not be a problem. Once they are dealt with, we will naturally open the city gates and welcome you all," Ye Qingtang said.

"Ye Qingtang, how dare you forbid us from entering the city! You're courting death!" An elderly glared at Ye Qingtang and shouted furiously.

Nonetheless, Ye Qingtang no longer gave any response.

Swoosh!

At the same time, the Ancient You Clan figures had already caught up with them.

Seeing that there was no other way out, Gu Yu ordered with clenched teeth. "Fight it out with them!"

With that command, the Heaven City figures were locked in a battle with those Ancient You Clan figures.

It had to be said that Gu Yu and the rest were exceptionally skilled. An hour later, more than half of the Ancient You Clan figures were slain, though such deaths also happened to Gu Yu's side. Until the very last minute, Ye Qingtang still did not have any intention to open the city gates.

Ye Qingtang did not take pity on Gu Yu and the others.

In their occupation of Heaven City, when had they truly thought of fighting the enemy? All they wanted was only to protect their lives.

1189 Look At The Big Picture 4

In such a critical situation, Gu Yu, as the overall general of Heaven City, did not look at the big picture and instead sent her, who went to aid them, to death out of his selfish desires.

How could such a selfish person defend this mainland? If such generals were aplenty, how could this mainland resist the invasion of the Ancient You Clan? As a general, one should protect the city with his life and fight the enemy army to the end instead of dragging out an ignoble presence.

Since Gu Yu did not know what a general should do, Ye Qingtang would help him fulfill the mission of a general.

There was no reason nor humanity in this war. As long as one could achieve victory, any method was justified.

The outcome of this war concerned the safety of this entire mainland. If everyone did not fight with their lives, defeat was inevitable.

Even Ye Qingtang was prepared to die.

After killing Gu Yu and the rest, the remaining Ancient You Clan figures were jointly killed by Elder Bai Kui and the rest, who were in ambush from the start.

Without Gu Yu and the rest giving their all, Elder Bai Kui and Daoist Zijin would definitely be wounded.

Then, Ye Qingtang opened the city gates and walked out of the city. Looking at the bodies of Gu Yu and the rest who died in the battle, she bowed slightly and muttered. "Thank you."

Regardless of whether they were good or bad or a friend or foe, when they were still alive, they still made a contribution to this mainland at the last moment.

This bow was not to Gu Yu and the rest but to those warriors who lost their lives in the battle to protect their homeland.

"Listen to my command. All the powerful figures in the city, attack… Heaven City! No one shall stay behind!" Ye Qingtang shouted deafeningly from the air.

"Kill!"

Hundreds of Ye Family disciples echoed uniformly.

"Where are the twelve Peak Masters of Falling Sky Valley!" Ye Qingtang scanned the surrounding.

"General, we are here!"

Twelve shadows bolted over swiftly.

"The twelve Peak Masters are to be in the vanguard. Take down Heaven City regardless of the price. Spare no resistors!" Ye Qingtang ordered coldly.

"Yes!"

As she spoke, the twelve Peak Masters turned into twelve shadows and disappeared from the sky.

"Has the war of this mainland… finally begun…"

The little white tiger shook its head. It jumped out from Ye Qingtang's arms, and its body enlarged instantly.

"Good timing. Coincidentally, my stored energy is sufficient… I will fight alongside you," the little white tiger looked at Ye Qingtang and said.

There was a tinge of a smile in Ye Qingtang's eyes as she looked at the little white tiger. Then, she leaped up and sat on the white tiger's back.

…

A moment later, outside Heaven City.

The Blood Moon Elder's enormous body was as tall as Heaven City, and he could see the situation in the city clearly without flying in the air.

That Ancient You Clan troop suffered a huge loss in order to occupy Heaven City by force, and this was the best time to conquer Heaven City.

"Elder Yin Fo?!"

Many Ancient You Clan figures' expressions changed when they saw Blood Moon Elder. They already knew that Elder Yin Fo betrayed Ancient You Clan and joined this mainland…

Although Heaven City had a topographical advantage and powerful figures were unable to fly…

the Ancient You Clan were astonished to see that Blood Moon Elder was still taller than Heaven City by a head.

"Have you seen enough!" The Blood Moon Elder shouted furiously, and his fists were like a giant mountain that violently crashed toward the masses at the top of the city walls.

1190 Battle 1

The powerful cultivators of the Ancient You Clan were caught off guard and were pulverized by the Blood Moon Elder's mountain-like fists.

"Mercy for those who surrender. Death to those who resist!"

The twelve Peak Masters of Falling Sky Valley, hundreds of Ye Family disciples, everyone from the Si Family, and the branch masters of the Ye Family all suddenly appeared on the Blood Moon Elder and immediately leaped onto the wall.

An intense battle between the two sides swiftly commenced without warning.

At that moment, White Tiger also appeared on Blood Moon Elder's shoulder. Leading Ye Qingtang, it leaped onto Heaven City's city walls in a single motion.

Lightning curses and the gleam of swords instantly filled the entire area.

Half of the dozens of powerful cultivators from the Ancient You Clan who were patrolling the walls of Heaven City were killed before they even knew what hit them. Some of them recovered their wits but were smashed by the Blood Moon Elder's fists before they could fight back.

However, after a moment, increasing numbers of Ancient You Clan cultivators became alarmed. They immediately hurried to the city walls.

At that moment, the old man, who was the overall commander of this troop from the Ancient You Clan, was enraged when he saw that Ye Qingtang, the Blood Moon Elder, and the others had sprung a surprise attack on Heaven City.

They had already sustained heavy losses from forcibly occupying Heaven City. Now they had to face a formidable enemy, and they were momentarily caught off guard.

Actually, Heaven City's terrain was hazardous. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It should have been extremely difficult for anyone to try to invade the city after they had occupied it!

However, the old man had overlooked Elder Yin Fo, who had betrayed the Ancient You Clan and gone over to this mainland!

Elder Yin Fo's body was so huge that the advantages of Heaven City's precipitous terrain, including the fact that no one could fly over it, were all lost. So what if no one could fly over Heaven City or that the terrain was hazardous? All Elder Yin Fo had to do was straighten up, and he was taller than Heaven City!

"Kill! Kill all these ants from this mainland!!"

The old man looked extremely grim as he issued death orders to the powerful cultivators of the Ancient You Clan, who hurried over in an unending stream.

"Humph!"

At that moment, an old man struck one of the Falling Sky Valley's twelve peak masters in the abdomen.

The Master of Horizon Peak, who was dressed in a white cotton robe, spat out blood. Then, he swiftly struck with his knife.

The old man was caught off-guard. He was injured by the knife aura and backed away.

At that moment, more and more powerful cultivators arrived. The Master of Horizon Peak was isolated and helpless, caught in a death trap.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a bellow of rage rang through the entire area.

White Tiger leaped down from the wall. Its sharp teeth instantly pierced the old man's neck.

At that moment, Ye Qingtang moved her arms slightly and caught the injured Master of Horizon Peak.

"General…"

When the Master of Horizon Peak saw Ye Qingtang, he gritted his teeth. He was momentarily lost for words.

"Promise me you won't die." Ye Qingtang glanced at the Master of Horizon Peak and said softly.

"All of us must survive." Without giving the Master of Horizon Peak an opportunity to reply, Ye Qingtang threw him into the camp in Falling Sky Valley. Together with little white tiger, she charged towards the Ancient You Clan.

"Kill! Don't leave a single one alive!!"

The Master of Horizon Peak clenched his fists as he looked at Ye Qingtang's disappearing figure and roared with rage.

For four weeks, the clash of blades rang continually and the sound of agonized moans could be heard everywhere. It was as if Heaven City was transformed into hell.

1191 Battle 2

After a few hours, in the middle of the battle, You Tianhe, who had lost an arm, came over to the old man. With a frown, he said, "The battle is lost… We're outnumbered. The number of powerful cultivators they have is terrifying… We already sustained heavy losses when we first occupied Heaven City. If we continue this battle, the entire army will be lost…"

As the overall commander, the old man was fully aware of all this without You Tianhe reminding him. However, he could not bear to retreat now!

The Ancient You Clan had desolated the entire southern battlefield wherever it went so that nothing was left alive. They had easily captured the various major cities and would have shortly exterminated all the powerful cultivators in the southern battlefield of this mainland. Instead, he had successively lost two cities!

The first was Dragon Elephant City, which was lost in a surprise attack. The second was Heaven City, which was lost when it was forcibly invaded… if they just left like that, how could he face the Lord General?!

"As long as the city stands… we will stay. If we lose the city… we will all die!" The old man clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

As a commander, it was a strange concept to have over the loss of just one city. How many mainlands had he conquered for the Ancient You Clan in his life?! When had he ever suffered such humiliation?!

Today, even if he died, he would never… flee!

"Very well." You Tianhe glanced at the old man and did not speak further. All he could do was to obey the orders he received.

Day turned to night. After a long time, the ground was covered with blood…

You Tianhe and the old man were surrounded by Daoist Zijin and Perfected Xuanchen.

Within Heaven City, only You Tianhe and the old man were left for the Ancient You Clan. The rest had all died in battle.

"You've lost."

Ye Qingtang said blandly as she looked at You Tianhe and the old man.

"Lost…"

When he heard Ye Qingtang's words, the old man laughed coldly. "Indeed… we've lost… but we have only lost a city. We have won the entire southern region… and the entire mainland!"

"Hmph, are you still disputing with us now that matters have reached this state?!" Daoist Zijin laughed coldly. "If you surrender, we will spare you. Otherwise, you will die!"

"Surrender…"

The old man laughed wildly. "I am an upright man. If I win, I win. If I lose, I lose. But I have never known what it means to surrender… There is no need for you to humiliate me today. I will account for myself!"

As he finished speaking, the old man flourished his right arm. As everyone watched, he used his palm to smash his own glabella.

Boom!

The next second, the old man's body collapsed to the ground. He had killed himself.

Clank!

The next moment, You Tianhe drew his long sword. With the speed of lightning, he swept his sword across his own throat.

You Tianhe and the overall commander of this troop from the Ancient You Clan had committed suicide. This surprised everyone.

"Bury them." Elder Bai Kui spoke slowly as he stared at the bodies of the two men who had killed themselves.

He felt neither pity nor any kind of emotion. This was a battlefield, a fundamentally cruel place.

However, to Elder Bai Kui, these two men were simply opponents worthy of his respect.

The feelings of a commander and leader whose city had been invaded truly could not be expressed to others. Suicide was just death. However, their hearts were probably filled with regret.

To Elder Bai Kui, these two men were truly great generals. A pity that they were on opposing sides.

"Bury them both."

Daoist Zijin walked forward, shaking his head, and issued orders to the Ye Family disciples.

1192 Battle 3

At that moment, Ye Qingtang was standing on the top of the city wall, looking over the hell-like battlefield. At that moment, her feelings were mixed, and she did not feel any pleasure or joy at having conquered a formidable enemy.

The blood on the long sword that she held in her hand had congealed into beads and slowly dripped down.

The little white tiger squatted near Ye Qingtang. Its body of snow-white fur was stained red.

"Ah…"

After a long time, the little white tiger sighed softly. "I've seen all kinds of species at war… Only the wars between humans… involve many innocent people."

"On a battlefield, no one is innocent." Ye Qingtang paused for a moment before speaking softly. Then, she turned and left.

That night, they conquered Heaven City and completely destroyed the troop from the Ancient You Clan, without leaving a single soul. In this battle, both sides had given no quarter. In the end, the overall commander and his general had ended it by killing themselves.

Blood stained the entire Heaven City red. There was no terror or eeriness, just a slight sense of dreariness.

This battle was later recorded in the annals of this mainland.

…

After conquering Heaven City, the headquarters of the southern battlefield finally fulfilled its wishes when the supply teams banded together and brought rations into the city.

For a few days, besides cleaning up the battlefield, Ye Qingtang's also swiftly gained greater insight into the martial realms. By the end of the third day, she had progressed from the mid-stage of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Eight Heaven to its peak.

But no matter how hard Ye Qingtang tried, she was still unable to reach the threshold of Yang Lord Ninth Heaven.

Ye Qingtang had no idea where to find the doorway in her Dantian that led to Yang Lord Ninth Heaven.

After half a month, bad news came from the headquarters of the southern battlefield. The Ancient You Clan's army had breached the two major cities of Peerless School and Phantom Valley. The Peerless School Sect Master and the Phantom Valley Master had both died in battle.

Further, the remaining Yang Lords and superior troops in Peerless School and Phantom Valley had hurried to Heaven City at the first opportunity and joined in the major defense line in Heaven City.

After the two major cities held by the Peerless School and Phantom Valley were breached, the enormous disadvantage that the southern battlefield was in became apparent. Within half a month, the tribes garrisoned by the ancient clan and the major defensive cities were all conquered by the Ancient You Clan's main troops stationed in the southern battlefield. The entire Nine Nights Dynasty was completely occupied by the Ancient You Clan.

Ye Qingtang felt that the situation was becoming increasingly perilous. She had planned to join all their military strength with that of the Master of the ancient clan. However, she received bad news at the last minute.

The southern headquarters had been breached by the You troops, and the headquarters had been shattered. Almost all the powerful cultivators from the ancient clan were killed in battle. The Master of the Ancient Clan had also been killed after he had severely injured another top general named You Tong. Only one powerful cultivator from the ancient clan had escaped. He had arrived in Heaven City with severe injuries. He was at death's door by the time the patrols on the city wall discovered him.

Valley Master Xuanchen immediately ordered the city doors to be opened, and the powerful cultivator from the ancient clan brought into the main hall.

At that moment, in the main hall of Heaven City, Ye Qingtang was looking at Daoist Zijin with a frown. "How are his injuries?" she asked.

Daoist Zijin was silent for a long time. He finally shook his head and said, "He can't be saved."

Daoist Zijin was a skilled healer, and his prognosis was accurate.

After approximately an hour, the dying powerful cultivator from the ancient clan lived for a short time. His pale lips moved slightly. "Who… who is… General… Ye…"

With that, Ye Qingtang advanced and carefully supported the powerful cultivator from the ancient clan. "I am Ye Qingtang…"

"General… Ye…" The powerful cultivator from the ancient clan suddenly summoned strength from somewhere and gripped Ye Qingtang's right hand tightly. He began weeping before Ye Qingtang could move. "The Clan Master… With the Clan Master's power… he could have… fled… but… but!"

"I know… I had great respect for the Master of the Ancient Clan…" Ye Qingtang hurried to console him when she saw how agitated the powerful cultivator from the ancient clan had become.

"General… Ye… The Yous… want… the Spiritual Abode's incarnation… in this mainland… Then they will use the power of the Spiritual Abode's incarnation… to destroy every living thing… in this mainland… they will transform all its life forms… into part of the Spiritual Abode… General Ye… find the incarnation… of the Spiritual Abode… and protect it… Do not allow… this mainland… to be destroyed… please… I beg you!" The powerful cultivator's grip on Ye Qingtang's hand tightened.

"I will…" Ye Qingtang said.

The powerful cultivator from the ancient clan finally closed his eyes reluctantly.

Ye Qingtang took a deep breath. She suddenly stood up. Her eyes glittered with a bone-chilling light as she shouted.

"The entire city is to be on full alert!"

"Yes!"

With that, one of the Ye Family's branch masters turned and left, his face stern.

Ye Qingtang knew in her heart that this powerful cultivator from the ancient clan had only forced himself to survive to pass the news to her and Heaven City, the last faint hope of the entire southern battlefield…

The incarnation of the Spiritual Abode was certainly little You Yun.

The Ancient You Clan wanted to use little You Yun's powers to transform all living things in this mainland into spirit energy, allowing the Spiritual Abode to reach the peak of its mystical powers.

Ye Qingtang also knew what Heaven City would be facing.

The main force on the southern battlefield and a powerful cultivator with the rank of general…

It was a real nightmare…

After a moment, Ye Qingtang returned to her room.

"Mo… ther…"

Little Luo Xue was excited to see Ye Qingtang. He opened his eyes wide and hugged Ye Qingtang's calves.

Little You Yun also came over and smiled shyly.

For some reason, whenever Ye Qingtang saw little You Yun and little Luo Xue, warmth would fill her heart.

If she too collapsed, who would protect these two children…

Ye Qingtang picked up little Luo Xue and little You Yun and walked out of the house.

After a short while, they neared the city wall and the Blood Moon Elder.

"Hong Heqing…"

Ye Qingtang looked at Blood Moon Elder.

The Blood Moon Elder was startled by her words. He seldom heard Ye Qingtang call him directly by name. He had almost forgotten his real name. "Holy Lady, what is the matter?"

"Hong Heqing!" Ye Qingtang said again.

The Blood Moon Elder sank into silence. As far as he could recall, this was the first time that Ye Qingtang had called him so sternly by his real name.

"Hong Heqing is listening!"

"General Ye, I am ready to receive my orders!" The Blood Moon Elder shouted.

"While this war is ongoing, you are to protect these children!" Ye Qingtang pointed at little You Yun and little Luo Xue.

"What… this?!" The Blood Moon Elder was shocked by Ye Qingtang's words. Was the Holy Lady ordering him to guard little You Yun and little Luo Xue?!

"Holy Lady… considering my capabilities, it's better for me to enter the battlefield… it would be a waste of my talents to guard these two children…" The Blood Moon Elder muttered.

"Do you enjoy fighting that much?" Ye Qingtang asked softly.

"Holy Lady, with my capabilities, I can kill more enemies on the battlefield, reducing our enemy numbers!" said the Blood Moon Elder.

"In that case, consider these two children as your battlefield." Ye Qingtang's words seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Before the Blood Moon Elder could continue, Ye Qingtang said seriously, "Tell me if you can do this!"

"I, Hong Heqing, can do this!" In the end, the Blood Moon Elder gritted his teeth and nodded. His voice was like the crash of thunder.

He did not know what the Holy Lady was thinking, but if Ye Qingtang spoke so sternly and seriously, then he trusted her arrangements.

"Very well… Little You Yun is the future of this mainland… right now… I hand the future over to you." Ye Qingtang laughed softly.

The Blood Moon Elder's heart quavered, and he immediately said, "I will not disappoint the Holy Lady!"

"Thank you." Ye Qingtang took a step back and bowed to the Blood Moon Elder.

"Holy Lady…" The Blood Moon Elder looked at Ye Qingtang. He could not describe his feelings, but it was as if she was handing over a legacy.

"I need to deal with the approaching main force of Ancient You Clan stationed in the south. I am unable to protect them. You are the most powerful among us all. I will only be at ease… if these two children are in your care." Ye Qingtang smiled slightly at the Blood Moon Elder.

With that, Ye Qingtang turned and left.

"Mo… ther…"

As he looked at Ye Qingtang's disappearing figure, little Luo Xue's eyes became misty. He subconsciously reached out for Ye Qingtang but finally withdrew his hand.

Although little Luo Xue was still young, he had a vague idea of what was going on. At that moment, he needed to hear from his own mother…

"Be good. Both of you are to come with grandfather… Grandfather will certainly take good care of you, alright?" The Blood Moon Elder bent down and put little Luo Xue and Little You Yun on his palm.

"Mm!" Little You Yun nodded.

"Mo… ther…" Little Luo Xue blinked his wet eyes and looked at the Blood Moon Elder.

"Your mother… has more important things to attend to. When you've… grown up, you must follow your mother's example!" The Blood Moon Elder looked at the two small children.

…

Before long, scouts announced that the Ancient You Clan's main force in the south was no more than a hundred miles from Heaven City.

Ye Qingtang was silent for a long time after receiving this news. Then, her eyes swept across everyone present.

"Twelve Peak Masters of Falling Sky Valley, receive your orders!" Ye Qingtang said.

"We hear and obey!" The twelve Peak Masters said seriously.

"Ye Family disciples, receive your orders!" said Ye Qingtang.

"We hear and obey!" Hundreds of Ye Family disciples replied in unison.

"Ye Family branch masters, receive your orders!" said Ye Qingtang.

"We hear and obey!" The many Ye Family Yang Lords advanced.

"Elders of the Ye Family, receive your orders!" said Ye Qingtang.

"We hear and obey!" Daoist Zijin, Elder Bai Kui, and the other Yang Lords looked determined.

"Si Family Yang Lords, receive your orders!" said Ye Qingtang.

"We hear and obey!" The many Yang Lords from the Si Family cupped their fists.

Ye Qingtang said slowly, "The main force of the Ancient You Clan is no more than a hundred miles away. In this battle, all of us could die."

Everyone present already knew that.

"If anyone wants to back out now, they can immediately leave Heaven City without being pursued!" Ye Qingtang said.

After a moment, no one responded.

"Very well, thank you everyone." Ye Qingtang slowly bowed to everyone present.

"General, it is we… who should thank you!" Daoist Zijin looked at Ye Qingtang with a complicated expression. "General, with your powers, you could easily leave this mainland… but you have chosen to remain… with us…"

This mainland had raised them. No one was willing to leave. They were all willing to live or die together with this mainland that had raised them.

But Ye Qingtang was still so young. She could leave this mainland and wait for her powers to exceed that of the Ancient You Clan before taking revenge on them.

But, Ye Qingtang had also chosen to stay and to live and die with them…

How noble of her…

"Reporting! The main force of the Ancient You Clan is less than twenty miles away!" Another scout swiftly reported.

Ye Qingtang remained silent for a moment. Then, with her eyes glittering with cold light, she said, "Meet them in battle!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

The first battle to determine the survival of this mainland was about to commence.

This battle was later recorded in history books. Thousands of years later, whenever people discussed it, they would be filled with the deepest respect for these heroes who were not afraid to die in battle, for the immortal souls, and for this solemn and stirring moment that moved them to both song and tears…

…

At that moment, everyone had arrived at the top of the wall. Thousands of powerful cultivators had gathered from all over the south to hold the last line of defense. They raised their longbows, drew their arrows, and aimed beyond the city.

Boom…

Boom…

Boom!

The entire earth quickly started to shake as if a natural disaster was imminent. Dust floated in the void, sketching the outline of the battlefield. The air was filled with the distinctive scent of blood.

No one knew what to expect.

Death did not seem frightening at this point.

A moment later, the main force of the You Clan in the south descended on the lone city.

A green-robed man stood on top of a huge demonic beast. He swept a glance at the crowd on the city walls of Heaven City.

Behind him stood thousands of powerful cultivators from the Ancient You Clan and a few of the super sect forces which had surrendered earlier on the southern battlefield.

"The southern headquarters has been breached. Your general is dead. If you surrender, your lives will be spared," After a moment, the green-robed man, You Tong said slowly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" However, a roar of defiance arose in response to General You Tong.

In Heaven City, battle flags flew, and battle drums rang out.

"Release!"

Elder Bai Kui waved his right arm and shouted sharply.

At Elder Bai Kui's command, countless arrows flew with incredible speed. They were so numerous that they fell like rain on the main force of the Ancient You Clan below them.

These bows and arrows were specially constructed, and most of them were almost black-grade quality. The arrows were coated with either the destructive power of elemental fire or the power of frost. They were terrifying.

Boom!

The moment the arrows fell, towering flames shot skywards and exploded in the void.

Many of the powerful cultivators from the ancient clan were caught off-guard and retreated with injuries. Many of the super sect powers in the south, who had yielded to the Ancient You Clan, were immediately killed by the explosion or were pierced through.

Ye Qingtang had prepared for this battle for a long time. These bows and arrows were mostly constructed of ancient meteoric iron, and some of them even surpassed the power of ordinary black-grade divine weapons!

Although the Ancient You Clan was powerful, this mainland greatly restricted their powers. It was impossible for them to avoid being injured by the arrows. Even those southern super sect powers who had surrendered to the Ancient You Clan were hard-pressed to withstand them.

"Release!"

1196 Occupied 4

…

"Release!"

…

"Release!"

Elder Bai Kui shouted repeatedly. The specially constructed arrows fell in waves on the Ancient You Clan.

Ye Qingtang had used up all the ancient meteoric iron but had only made enough arrows for three waves of attacks.

However, these three waves of attacks had already caused the main force of the Ancient You Clan to sustain heavy losses.

The southern super sect forces were pushed to the front line by the Ancient You Clan and were completely wiped out. Even one-third of the Ancient You Clan's main forces were killed or injured.

"Humph!"

After a moment, You Tong grunted coldly and used the power of a Heavenly Venerate to protect the main forces.

If You Tong had not shielded them with the power of a Heavenly Venerate, the casualties in the main forces would have been even greater.

When she saw that they had used up all the arrows, Ye Qingtang waved her arms slightly.

"Roar!"

Little white tiger instantly grew bigger and led Ye Qingtang to charge out of Heaven City.

The advantages of Heaven City were almost non-existent when faced with the southern battlefield's main forces. You Tong could easily use his Heavenly Venerate power to destroy Heaven City or lay siege to the city, thus turning the advantage to himself.

"Kill!"

Elder Bai Kui, Valley Master Xuanchen, and dozens of Yang Lords led the charge. They leaped off the city wall to land outside the city and then charged towards the main force of the Ancient You Clan.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Hundreds of Ye Family disciples followed, their faces grim and determined.

At that moment, a roar rang out in front of them. The vanguard of the Ancient You Clan held black-grade weapons and tried to surround Ye Qingtang.

"Roar!"

The white tiger, which had enlarged itself, bellowed in rage. The demonic aura of a Fiendcelestial was transformed into gusts of wind that forced the powerful cultivators of the Ancient You Clan to retreat.

Swoosh!

Ye Qingtang drew her black-grade divine weapon and brandished it as she advanced.

The Heavenly Demon Bloodline and the Divine Phoenix Bloodline were forced to their peaks. She was completely covered by a black aura and a golden glow. It was as if a god of the Ninth Heaven had arrived on earth.

Every time Ye Qingtang waved the black-grade divine weapon in her hand, it took a life.

Fortunately, most of the powerful cultivators in the main forces were still poisoned, and most of their martial capabilities were only at the Sixth Heaven of Yin Yang Perfected Lord as they had not yet recovered to the stage of a Yang Lord.

Otherwise, there was no need to even fight this battle.

In an instant, the thousands of men from this mainland and the Ancient You Clan violently collided like meteorites that had left their obits, howling wildly like the wind.

However, after a few skirmishes, the Ye Family disciples started to fall back. Although most of the Ye Family disciples were on par with the powerful cultivators of the Ancient You Clan who had not yet recovered their full abilities, their martial arts cultivation level was still far inferior to that of the powerful cultivators of the Ancient You Clan.

When they saw that, the twelve peaks divided into two forces. One force continued to hold up the main forces while the other joined the Ye Family disciples' formation to relieve the pressure on the Ye Family disciples.

"They would really rather die than surrender." Before long, the green-robed man, You Tong, transformed into a ray of light and rushed at Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang immediately extricated herself from the battlefield. She leaped from the little white tiger's back, and her slender figure was soon embroiled in a fight with You Tong.

"Roar!" The demonic beast that You Tong was riding shot a beam of destructive light from its mouth. But before it reached Ye Qingtang, the white tiger sent it flying with a head butt.

The Little White Tiger and You Tong's demonic beast were soon fighting.

"Fiendcelestial Beast…"

You Tong was astonished to see that the Fiendcelestial Beast was equally matched with the "Black Flame God", one of the most powerful demonic beasts of the Ancient You Clan. Never had he expected that this mainland actually had a Fiendcelestial Beast.

"That is… Black Flame God…"

Elder Bai Kui was shocked as he inspected the Ancient You Clan demon.

Black Flame God was an ancient demonic beast that was extremely scarce; many masters at taming beasts could not find a single one even after devoting their entire lives to the purpose.

This type of demon was inherently violent, and when it reached its peak, it could turn into a flaming beast that could set everything in this world on fire.

"Roar!"

With a furious shout from the little white tiger, its claws lunged forward and instantly made a few bloody scratches on Black Flame God's face.

"Roar… Roar!!" Black Flame God roared loudly in pain.

Subsequently, it held its head up high and sent the white tiger flying.

Many Ancient You Clan figures and Ye Family disciples scattered away in all directions swiftly in fear that they would lose their lives unexpectedly in the fierce battle between the two creatures.

Before everyone could react, a small ball of light resembling a little sun was condensed in Black Flame God's mouth.

"Retreat!"

You Tong ordered immediately upon noticing the situation.

Without his reminder, all the Ancient You Clan masses had already withdrawn themselves from the scene and retreated backward successively.

When enraged, the Black Flame God's fire energy would escalate tremendously, and its attacking manner was extremely broad, so much that it did not distinguish between enemy and ally.

In just a moment, the battlefield was already broken up. Everyone rushed into a mountain valley not far away, and every inch of the place became a battlefield smoked with blood.

Soon after, an explosion reverberated from the nearby Heaven City. The white tiger was heavily injured while Black Flame God seemed to be even more severely wounded; Both demonic creatures continued to tremble violently.

The war between the mainland and the Ancient You Clan's main South army was finally full-blown in the mountain valley.

Night turned into day, and day turned into night once again. No one knew how much time had passed. The ground in the mountain valley was blanketed by blood, and broken limbs were strewn everywhere.

"Hahaha…!"

A shrill laugh sounded from a certain corner of the mountain valley. A Falling Sky Valley Peak Master's abdomen was pierced by a long sword.

"You are very tenacious… but all of you must die," an Ancient You Clan elderly said.

Swoosh!

However, the Peak Master did not utter a word and grabbed the Ancient You Clan elderly who stabbed him.

"What are you doing?" The elderly asked indifferently.

"Hahaha… Let's go together." Grotto-heaven Peak Master roared with laughter. "This is… the self-destruction… of a… Yang Lord!"

"What?!" The elderly's expression changed drastically, and shock filled his face.

Once a cultivator reached the Yang Lord realm, the body could condense a spirit such that it had a chance of being reincarnated to become human once again even if the cultivator died. However, if one self-destructed… even the spirit would vanish into thin air!

"Are… you insane?!" The Ancient You Clan elderly hollered furiously.

As he saw that the Grotto-heaven Peak Master refused to let go of him, the elderly's eyes flickered, and he slammed the Grotto-heaven Peak Master's glabella with full force.

"Ow…"

Blood spewed out of the Grotto-heaven Peak Master's mouth, and he trembled nonstop, but his grip on the elderly never released.

"Everyone… quickly run… run…"

The Grotto-heaven Peak Master's eyes landed on the surrounding Ye Family disciples, who were fighting hard as he shouted loudly.

As he spoke, an indescribable breath of destruction emerged around the Grotto-heaven Peak Master's body. It condensed all the energy sources of the Yang Lord and self-detonated, destroying this energy…

"Grotto-heaven Peak Master!!"

Many Ye Family disciples were teary as they looked at the Grotto-heaven Peak Master not far away.

However, the self-destruction force of a Yang Lord was massive and had a wide range. If they did not flee, they would also be roped in.

Ultimately, many Ye Family disciples stopped the fight and fled away at the fastest speed they had ever used in their lives.

"Hahaha… Hahahaha!!"

Seeing that all the Ye Family disciples had left, the Grotto-heaven Peak Master was finally relieved

"General… Valley Master… Old Valley Master… We are not… a disgrace… to Falling Sky Valley… or this mainland, right!" The Grotto-heaven Peak Master clung onto the alarmed Ancient You Clan Yang Lord elderly tightly and turned into a blinding light.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

A deafening sound reverberated throughout the place. A corner of the valley crumbled instantly and was destroyed by the self-destructive force of a Yang Lord.

The ground shattered, and the forest collapsed. It was like a natural disaster.

After this loud crash, the Ancient You Clan masses nearby, who did not even know what happened, fell victim to the self-destructive force of a Yang Lord and were buried six feet under forever.

This valley was a distance away from Heaven City, and cultivators could fly in the air.

At this moment, Ye Qingtang witnessed the scene from the sky and clenched her fists tightly. She bowed deeply at Grotto-heaven Peak Master in the air without uttering a word. Subsequently, an icy glint flashed across her eyes as she charged toward the Ancient You Clan masses.

Swoosh!

A sword gleam slashed across and penetrated through the bodies of several Ancient You Clan powerful figures.

Ye Qingtang landed on the ground swiftly.

"Eldest Young Lady…"

Suddenly, a weak voice came from nearby. Ye Qingtang looked behind instinctively, and her eyes dilated slightly.

"Ye Leng…" What entered Ye Qingtang's eyes was a shocking sight, and she rushed to the teen's side.

Ye Leng was no stranger to Ye Qingtang. He was the son of a Formidable Heavens Dynasty prince. Elder Bai Kui doted on him dearly and brought him from Formidable Heavens Dynasty to the Ye Family and changed his last name to 'Ye'.

However, the once vigorous and energetic teen was sliced apart at his waist, and his remaining upper body only had an arm left.

"Eldest… Eldest Young Lady…" Ye Leng's eyes were full of despair, and it reflected Ye Qingtang's figure. He trembled slightly.

"I… am not scared…"

Ye Qingtang walked forward slowly, kneeled down, and placed Ye Leng's head on herself.

"Eldest… Eldest Young Lady… Am I… about to die…" Ye Leng's face was ghastly pale.

It was as though Ye Qingtang's throat was choked with charcoal, which caused a piercing burn.

"Eldest… Eldest Young Lady… I… I am in pain…" Ye Leng wanted to move his body but did not have the strength to.

Ye Qingtang's clothes were already stained red by the blood on Ye Leng's body. She looked at Ye Leng's remaining upper body, and the initially-youthful face was gradually covered by a pale sheet of ash…

Ye Qingtang took a deep breath and suppressed all the sorrow that filled her heart. She said softly.

"I am sorry…"

A three-word whisper seemed to deplete all her energy.
