Chapter 779 - 778: The Storm Rises Again!
Void Peak.
An elegant courtyard.
Many disciples were gathered here, discussing something. Even the weakest of them was at the Human Immortal Sixth Layer, and some had even reached the Eighth Layer. Each had a powerful aura, clearly formidable.
After receiving the news of Ye Qingchen’s return, they hurried over immediately.
"Humph, Ye Qingchen was personally suppressed by the Sect Leader; how could he possibly have returned alive?" A strong cultivator at the Human Immortal Seventh Layer sneered.
"Exactly, so many top-tier Human Immortals couldn’t escape, I don’t believe he could walk out alive!" Someone else retorted disdainfully, "Maybe someone saw wrong!"
At this moment.
The young man sitting at the head of the courtyard finally spoke slowly:
"Bring Zhao Lei up, and clarify the situation!"
His name was Lu Fan, at the Human Immortal Eighth Layer, just a step away from the Ninth Heaven. At Void Peak, he was quite a figure, ultimately subdued by Ye Xuan, becoming a trusted confidant.
With Ye Xuan absent, everyone looked up to him.
They brought Zhao Lei into the courtyard, and Zhao Lei respectfully greeted everyone before he detailed what he had seen.
"You mean, the person had silver hair, wore a blue robe, was armed with a long sword, and carried a gourd at the waist?" A strong cultivator at the Human Immortal Seventh Layer frowned and asked, "Did you see with your own eyes that he walked out of the space rift?"
"I did see it with my own eyes!" Zhao Lei nodded.
No sooner had he spoken than.
The courtyard burst into an uproar, with an outcry of exclamations and curses.
"How is it possible?"
"Did that kid really walk out of the Valley of Life and Death?"
"But it’s only been three months, how did he gain such strength?"
Some exclaimed, some doubted, some questioned.
Only Lu Fan remained seated, coldly saying:
"What are you all shouting about?"
Everyone’s eyes turned towards him.
Lu Fan looked disdainfully and said, "If he had stayed hidden in the Valley of Life and Death, we might have had nothing on him. Since he’s out, we can deal with him!"
"We didn’t pay him any mind before, and it allowed this kid to dominate Void Peak! We must teach him a lesson about humility!" Someone sneered.
"Right!" Someone clapped and laughed, "Let’s capture Ye Qingchen, destroy his cultivation, and see how arrogant he can be!"
The group nodded slightly.
Obviously.
They didn’t feel it was necessary to worry about Ye Qingchen. Despite the mere three months, no matter how strong he became, he would have his limits. There was no need for Ye Xuan to act; even they alone could ensure he never rose again!
"If Ye Qingchen is sensible, he should humbly apologize with a willow branch, else once we act, he’ll be crushed to dust!" A Human Immortal scoffed.
Suddenly.
A shout echoed through the void:
"Ye Xuan, come out and face death!"
Boom!
The teacups before them shattered instantly, the lake in the courtyard surged with roaring waves, everyone was dumbfounded, barely able to believe it.
...
"Ye Xuan, come out and face death!"
The raging waves echoed through the vast expanse of Void Peak within a mere moment.
All the disciples looked up in shock.
"Who on earth is it?"
"Daring to speak so arrogantly?"
"This voice, could it be..."
In their eyes.
Ye Xuan was the closed-door disciple of Marquis Guangjun, one of Void Peak’s three main figures; now, someone dared to openly provoke him?
After a brief shock, the grand Void Peak trembled abruptly as if awakening from deep slumber, countless figures surged like arrows towards the source of the sound.
...
Heaven-Shocking Peak.
At Mist Rain Pavilion, a graceful silhouette in green appeared idle.
Suddenly.
She seemed to notice something, and glanced towards Void Peak, her face blossomed into a smile like a blooming spring pond.
"Who would have thought, that kid came out so quickly!"
"Haha!"
"It seems that Taotian Palace is about to fall into chaos again!"
...
Bang!
After Ye Qingchen shouted those words.
A dead silence fell over the scene.
Everyone was dumbfounded looking at him, never imagining that someone would dare to openly provoke Ye Xuan, challenge Marquis Guangjun’s cherished disciple, one of the three prominent figures of Void Peak!
They knew.
The recently calmed Void Peak was about to stir up a storm of blood and gore.
It’s important to note.
Ye Xuan was also a deity, would he allow such provocation? Yet, Ye Qingchen seemed unperturbed, inspecting the Trapping God Pointing on Lu Yanwu, Sea of Zhou, and Lin Shifei.
"Tut-tut, who would have thought Ye Qingchen survived walking out of Valley of Life and Death! During the past three months, with so many kicking him while he’s down, do you think Ye Qingchen is one to speak lightly?"
Someone gloated.
But more shook their heads silently:
"Ye Qingchen truly doesn’t know his place! Had he come out of the Valley of Life and Death and kept a low profile, perhaps everyone would have let it go. But coming out and directly provoking Ye Xuan is a path to his own death!"
"In my view, Ye Qingchen is too arrogant, ignorant of the people beyond the heavens. Surviving the Valley of Life and Death is surprising, but he doesn’t realize, there are always greater forces! Su Moran might be able to protect him for a while, but not for a lifetime!"
"Mr. Ye!"
Lu Yanwu, Sea of Zhou, and Lin Shifei were likewise worried.
Having calmed down from their initial joy, they remembered having seen Ye Xuan, fully aware of his capabilities; Ye Xuan was one of Void Peak’s three leaders, among the most powerful trio!
Even without Ye Xuan himself, his fierce subordinates alone were enough to bring despair.
Could Ye Qingchen withstand Ye Xuan?
The surrounding crowd either gloated, shook heads in sighs, or looked at Ye Qingchen with mocking eyes, when suddenly the void trembled, powerful auras closed in like mad.
This sensation made everyone shiver, their hairs standing on end.
"Haha, finally they’re here!"
Ye Qingchen clapped and laughed.
"What?"
The crowd wondered in confusion.
When from the void, lights flared and a shout pierced through:
"Ye Qingchen!"
In an instant.
In the stunned eyes of the crowd, the space seemed forcibly torn open by invisible hands, and then figures emerged from nowhere. Each emitting a powerful and immense aura, like the vast ocean.
This group was none other than Lu Fan and others.
At the same time.
They encircled Ye Qingchen at the center.
Seeing Ye Qingchen, Lu Fan’s gaze turned cold: "You have the audacity! Even the Valley of Life and Death couldn’t suppress your nature, yet you dare to openly challenge Senior Brother Ye Xuan?"
"Where are the rest of you? Where’s Ye Xuan? Why hasn’t he come out?" Ye Qingchen stood with hands behind his back.
"Do you think you’re worthy of having Senior Brother Ye Xuan act personally?" Lu Fan stepped forward, shouting: "Ye Qingchen, kneel down and accept your death, and we might spare your miserable life!"
"Just you all?"
Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes:
"In that case, I’ll defeat you all first, to show that I, Ye Qingchen, am not to be trifled with!"
