Chapter 601 - 604: Lintian City Shaken!
Chapter 601 - 604: Lintian City Shaken!
Lintian City, as a gathering place for Tianjiao, draws attention to every Tianjiao due to the imminent Taotian Palace election. Therefore, as soon as news of a Tianjiao emerges, it spreads immediately.
Such a significant event occurred on the Lantai River, how could it be concealed from so many people? Naturally, the news spread immediately.
In an instant.
The entire Lintian City was shaken by it.
In previous Taotian Palace elections, casualties were inevitable, but it was rare for a Celestial Venerable to fall before the election. Moreover, these were not ordinary Celestial Venerables; they had reached the Fourth and Fifth Layers of cultivation.
"Who is this Ye Qingchen?"
"I’ve heard he’s only eighteen? How can he possess such power, directly wiping out Zhao Qian, Gong Wenqing, and others, even killing their Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer guards!"
"He’s incredibly strong. It’s said he cut through the river with one sword, even slaying the Furious Dragon Flood Dragon that even a Human Immortal couldn’t handle! Is this guy really only at the Celestial Venerable Fourth Layer?"
Countless people were buzzing with discussion.
In an instant, countless people were alarmed.
One must know.
Most well-known geniuses are widely recognized. For most people, Ye Qingchen seemed to have suddenly sprung from a crack in the stone, without any warning.
"With Celestial Venerable Fourth Layer strength like this, his future is bound to be remarkable!"
Many cultivators sighed.
"Indeed, with his strength, he will surely join the Taotian Palace, possibly becoming an Inner Sect Disciple. When he steps into the Human Immortal Realm in the future, that would be extraordinary!"
Many active forces have already begun sending people to contact Ye Qingchen.
After all.
Most Tianjiao are supported by some power. It is rare to see someone like Ye Qingchen alone. If they could recruit him, it would definitely be a great help.
However, some shook their heads secretly, knowing the situation wasn’t good:
"This kid is too ruthless. He killed Zhao Qian, Shi Yiming, Zhang Yucheng, and others in public, severing the legacy of the Six Major Cities. How can those people let it go?"
One must know.
These City Lords poured their heart and soul into nurturing heirs, feeding them Heavenly and Earthly Treasures from a young age. Countless efforts were made, and now they have been slaughtered by Ye Qingchen. How can they swallow this?
If they find out, it would certainly be a fight to the death.
With still three months left for the Taotian Palace election, whether this kid can survive until then remains uncertain.
Longevity Pavilion.
"Grandfather, Ye Qingchen has stirred up big trouble!"
Liu Piaopiao hurriedly rushed to the backyard and reported the news she had heard to Liu Yuanzhong. Seeing Liu Yuanzhong remain silent after listening, Liu Piaopiao quietly asked:
"Grandfather, will you intervene? With your reputation, you could surely make Profound Sword City and Haoran City back off..."
"No!"
Liu Yuanzhong slowly shook his head and said, "He just came from the Barbaric Continent, bold and reckless. This is a crisis for him, but it is also an opportunity. If he learns from this, he will surely go further in the future!"
Liu Piaopiao wanted to speak but hesitated, her heart full of worry.
With Ye Qingchen’s strength, how could he possibly withstand the fury of the Six Major Cities?
Profound Sword City.
In the massive City Lord’s Mansion, Zhao Shanhe, dressed in a black robe with a solemn face, burst into anger upon hearing the news, stood up fiercely, making the entire Profound Sword City tremble from his sudden rise.
Zhao Shanhe said coldly:
"This child must be exterminated!"
Indeed.
The higher the cultivation, the harder it is to have offspring. It was not until Zhao Shanhe was over two hundred years old that he had a son, whom he cherished deeply, sparing no effort in his upbringing, yet now, he is dead at someone else’s hands.
How can he swallow this?
Thunderstorm City.
"My Yu’Er!"
Zhang Yunxiang wept bitterly, with his whole body bursting with raging lightning, enveloped by it as if bathing in thunderbolts, turning the surrounding hundred feet into a thunderstorm cloud.
In the cyclone of thunderstorms, everything was torn to pieces. Some servants with low cultivation couldn’t even scream before being ripped apart!
"Ye Qingchen, if I don’t kill you, I’m not a man!"
Meanwhile.
Celestial Cloud City, Bright Moon City, Black Stone City, Haoran City.
All were shaken by this news.
Somewhere in a Nameless Valley.
Disciples of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect gathered together.
"Found him! We’ve finally found this kid! Turns out this guy has been hiding in Lintian City the whole time! No wonder there was no trace of him until now; since he has appeared, he will be dealt with severely!"
Lin Tongfeng laughed wildly, his eyes cold.
For several months.
During this period, they couldn’t find any trace of Ye Qingchen. Just as everyone was about to give up, his news unexpectedly came from Lintian City!
"Never before has anyone dared to offend our Ten Thousand Gods Sect and still live freely!"
"Just wait, I’m coming to kill you!"
Lin Tongfeng clenched his fists, his gaze icy, filled with murderous intent.
...
Unaware of the storm brewing against him, Ye Qingchen had already arrived at Hidden Dragon Mountain with Lu Yanwu.
"Indeed, it feels different!"
After entering Hidden Dragon Mountain.
Ye Qingchen immediately sensed a difference.
Although Hidden Dragon Mountain is just a small part of Celestial Dragon Mountain, stepping into it was like suddenly moving from a desert into a hot spring, with the Spiritual Qi multiplying several times.
The mountains were rich with forests, each tree towering four or five hundred feet high, creating the feeling of stepping into a primordial forest.
"The atmosphere here is so strange!"
Sea of Zhou timidly followed behind the two, constantly observing the surroundings.
On their way here.
They encountered many beast blockades, but once stepping into Hidden Dragon Mountain, the surrounding beasts seemed to vanish. Even the calls of birds, fish, and insects were absent, creating the illusion that the world had only the three of them.
"Mr. Ye, should we go back?"
Lu Yanwu also felt some regret, having the impression that this place seemed even more terrifying than on her first visit. "I have some other places full of Spiritual Qi, not as rich as here, but they’re safe! Even if you built a cave dwelling here, you couldn’t withstand those monsters constantly harassing, could you?"
Ye Qingchen didn’t speak, furrowing his brows and examining the surroundings. He had the constant sensation that since stepping into Hidden Dragon Mountain, something was silently watching him.
But now that he was here, how could he just turn and leave without doing anything?
Just as he contemplated in silence.
"Roar!"
A terrifying roar suddenly resounded, shattering the tranquility of the forest.
In front of them, a massive creature was pushing through the forest, suddenly appearing in front of everyone.
"What is that?"
"A Dragon Rhinoceros Beast?"
Upon seeing the gigantic creature emerging, Lu Yanwu and Sea of Zhou were instantly horrified and turned pale.
