Chapter 1235 1235: The Battle Begins
Since consuming the elixirs and deliberately cultivating his soul, Ye Guichen's soul became incredibly powerful.
The monster initially thought it could swallow Ye Guichen, but suddenly saw a fist coming its way.
The monster whimpered, not attempting to dodge at all, and opened its mouth to swallow the fist.
However, the fist expanded immensely, soon pressing down on the monster's head like a mountain.
The monster roared and was sent flying, wailing miserably.
Ye Guichen's voice echoed eerily: "Submit to me, and you may live!"
The monster known as Green Nightmare seemed to recognize a formidable opponent and transformed into a small black dog upon returning.
Its appearance was surprisingly identical to Little Black.
However, Little Black did not accompany Ye Guichen to the Hidden Sect.
Green Nightmare approached Ye Guichen and lay down slowly, appearing scared and submissive.
Ye Guichen sighed: "From now on, follow me."
Green Nightmare nodded repeatedly, with a flattering and human-like smile on its face.
"Good spear!" returned to his senses.
Ye Guichen laughed heartily and swung the Green Nightmare Spear a couple of times.
Chen Mumu and the others wore anxious expressions, filled with worry, but were surprised to see Ye Guichen not only unharmed but even holding the spear.
"Sect Leader, are you alright?"
"What could possibly happen to me?" Ye Guichen weighed the spear in his hand, then nonchalantly stored it in his ring: "Alright, now we can get down to business."
Chen Mumu and the others' gazes toward Ye Guichen changed once again.
This time, it was genuine admiration.
Being able to wield the Green Nightmare Spear proved he might be even more powerful than the first Sect Leader.
The Silver Spear Sect had immense potential for development now.
...
After staying at the Silver Spear Sect for a while, Ye Guichen planned to return to the Dan God Sect.
The location of the Seven Kings was far from the Silver Spear Sect, so to deal with them, he had to start with the Dan God Sect.
Furthermore, having first arrived at the Hidden Sect, he felt a certain attachment to the Dan God Sect.
When news spread that Ye Guichen planned to leave, the members of the Silver Spear Sect urged him to stay.
But Ye Guichen was insistent on departing.
Before leaving, however, Ye Guichen left a small wolf for Mu Yang, hoping it would become a terrifyingly formidable beast of the sixth rank or higher.
With such a beast guarding the gate, it would be quite intimidating.
Seeing they couldn't convince him to stay, everyone bid farewell.
Now equipped with a map, Ye Guichen was not worried about losing his way. He left Chen Mumu in charge of the Silver Spear Sect while he pretended to seek opportunities to advance to Foundation Establishment.
No one doubted his intentions.
But just a hundred miles out from the Silver Spear Sect, Ye Guichen saw someone standing with his back to him.
The man carried seven silver spears on his back, wore a white robe, and looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, with an annoyingly smug expression.
"Sect Leader, please take me with you!" Mu Yang turned around, his eyes fervently gazing at Ye Guichen: "I suddenly realized that only in your presence can one truly posture. Without you, everything falls under your overshadowing aura, leaving no room to shine."
Ye Guichen staggered: "What about the little wolf?"
"I've entrusted it to Leng Yan; I trust she'll take good care of it." Mu Yang replied sorrowfully: "If the heavens had not birthed White-robed Yang, the universe would face eternal night..."
"If you're coming, then come. Enough with your nonsense!" Ye Guichen interrupted Mu Yang's pointless bluster with a roll of his eyes.
"Haha, sure thing!" As soon as Ye Guichen agreed, Mu Yang transformed into a clumsy buffoon, eagerly following Ye Guichen.
With such company, the journey was no longer dull.
With experience on his side, Ye Guichen made his way back, relying on the map to remain on track.
In just three days, Ye Guichen returned to the territory of the Dan God Sect.
Ye Guichen had been absent for more than a month.
Yet the atmosphere around the Dan God Sect seemed off.
There were noticeably more patrolling disciples, and signs of past battles revealed themselves occasionally.
Ye Guichen frowned.
Did something happen?
"Sect Leader, is this the territory of the Dan God Sect?" Initially, Mu Yang didn't question Ye Guichen's actions, merely following loyally like a lapdog.
But seeing Ye Guichen pause, Mu Yang recognized their location.
Ye Guichen kept a stern face: "Just call me Ye Sheng, not Sect Leader."
Mu Yang was puzzled: "Why?"
Ye Guichen didn't bother explaining: "Just do as I say, no need for questions."
Mu Yang slapped his forehead: "I get it, you want to show off discreetly, haha, that's brilliant, I learned a new trick!"
I just don't want to reveal my strength, alright.
Ye Guichen was too exasperated to comment.
But he didn't feel like explaining.
While pondering, the sound of fighting arose from ahead.
Ye Guichen wasted no time and darted forward swiftly.
Not far ahead, two groups were locked in battle.
One group, clad in armor adorned with the word 'Qin,' appeared to be King Qin's men.
There were over a dozen of them, each wielding long blades, all at the seventh or eighth level of the Innate stage.
The other group consisted of only three or four people.
They wore blue robes – the attire of the Dan God Sect.
If not mistaken, these should be disciples of the Dan God Sect.
"What should we do?" Several disciples stood back-to-back, eyeing their encircling foes.
"What else can we do? We're cornered and must fight to the death." One disciple retorted fiercely, determined to resist to the end.
One female disciple frowned: "If only my Golden Snake Swordsmanship were more refined, I could handle one or two of them. But it seems we all face the same fate."
Reflecting on something sorrowful, the woman sighed deeply: "If only Junior Brother Ye were here, these lowly lackeys would be no match for him!"
"Qingqing, you're the Sword Dao prodigy of our Dan God Sect. As our master said, your Alchemy may not be great, but your swordsmanship is unparalleled. Now that we oppose King Qin, we must abandon Alchemy and focus solely on martial arts. Rest assured, even in death, we will protect your escape."
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Qiao," Nolan Qingqing said wistfully, "I'm not afraid to die. It's just that, in dying, I won't know if Junior Brother Ye lived or if he truly was swallowed by that wolf. Sigh..."
"Haha, enough sighing. Let me send you on your way first!" Those Qin soldiers laughed wildly, brazenly eyeing the group.
Their gazes couldn't conceal their greed when they fell upon Nolan Qingqing.
"This little girl isn't bad. Don't worry, as long as you submit peacefully, we won't kill you right away!" The Qin soldiers sneered sinisterly.
