Chapter 706 - 705: Missing?
Silence!
In the vast broken secret realm, there was not a sound, complete silence.
Everyone stared in astonishment at the Bone Flood Dragon that had been split in two; apart from disbelief, their eyes were filled with deep shock. This scene was something no one could have foreseen.
What kind of martial art was that final sword strike?
It managed to slay the Bone Flood Dragon of the Human Immortal Fifth Layer without leaving a trace? Especially Xiao Qi’an, who was drenched in cold sweat, as he had a premonition:
If the Bone Flood Dragon hadn’t suddenly appeared, that sword strike from Ye Qingchen would probably have been aimed at him!
Yuan Chong and the others had their mouths wide open, in utter disbelief.
Qiuyuan’s eyes almost popped out, she felt like she was just a frog at the bottom of a well, unable to see through Ye Qingchen at all.
The evil cultivators present were trembling violently, thinking if every Taotian Palace disciple was as strong as Ye Qingchen, what hope would they have for survival?
Gong Shikun, Yao Guangjing, and Zhu Tianzheng were so frightened that their limbs turned to jelly.
Especially Wang Qinhu, who almost fell to the ground, his heart pounding uncontrollably. That sword strike from Ye Qingchen, which killed the Bone Flood Dragon, had passed just half a yard from him.
It could be said, without exaggeration, that it almost grazed his body.
Only Kong Jing was tear-streaked.
"No!"
Xiao Qi’an suddenly came to his senses, "Go!"
He waved his hand and transformed into a streak of black escaping light, madly dashing towards where Ye Qingchen had disappeared. Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Only the members of Ten Thousand Gods Sect narrowed their eyes, as if they had understood something.
Ye Qingchen wasn’t actually that strong!
That strike must have been some kind of secret technique. But even so, it showed how terrifying his potential was. Faced with such an existence, there must be no hesitation or mercy, they must find him, dead or alive!
Seeing Wang Qinhu, Gong Shikun, Yao Guangjing, and others making their move,
the other people also snapped back to reality and hurriedly followed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streaks of escaping light shot out one after another from the broken secret realm, heading in the direction where Ye Qingchen had disappeared. The entire Withered Forest showed signs of large trees being snapped in half, forcefully carving a path through the thick forest!
Eventually.
Everyone stopped in front of a huge rock that was several dozen yards high.
The rock had been battered and was covered with countless cracks, with even blood stains remaining, as if it would crumble to pieces at the slightest touch of a finger.
The impact at that time was unimaginably fierce.
However.
What made Xiao Qi’an’s heart sink was that he did not find any trace of Ye Qingchen there.
"He’s not here!"
"Ye Qingchen is not here... nor is his aura!"
"Could it be, he escaped?"
Scanning the surroundings, Xiao Qi’an’s face grew increasingly somber, and eventually, he couldn’t suppress his rage, exploding to the extreme. In his view, this time, the Ten Thousand Gods Sect’s high-level practitioners almost all poured out, with him as the sect leader personally overseeing!
Yet despite this, they still couldn’t kill Ye Qingchen, allowing him to escape right under his nose; how could he swallow this indignation?
"Search!"
"You must find him! Ye Qingchen must be found!"
"Alive, I want to see him; dead, I want to see his body!"
Xiao Qi’an’s furious voice roared out.
The members of Ten Thousand Gods Sect looked at each other, seemingly hesitant. Eventually, Wang Qinhu stepped forward and whispered, "Sect Leader, that Ye Qingchen used a secret technique and also took the full force hit from the Bone Flood Dragon. Even if he escaped, he probably won’t survive..."
His words were cut short as Xiao Qi’an’s cold gaze bore into him, causing Wang Qinhu to shudder and bow his head deeply, not daring to argue further:
"Yes!"
"We will search immediately!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Gong Shikun, Xiang Jiuyang, and others, upon seeing this, did not dare to hesitate and transformed into escaping lights, shooting off in all directions to search for Ye Qingchen.
Staring at the forest, which had returned to its cold silence, Xiao Qi’an’s face was as dark as could be.
Having reached this level, he naturally understood that a moment’s hesitation and softheartedness could lead to a heaven-shocking disaster!
...
Not far away.
Kong Jing watched as the Ten Thousand Gods Sect members flew off in different directions, a look of worry filling her beautiful eyes.
"Mr. Ye, what will happen to you... if you fall into the hands of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect, what will happen?"
Thinking of this.
Kong Jing’s face turned pale as well.
Behind her, Qiuyuan also looked a bit pale.
"It’s okay..."
"Mr. Ye is a person of great fortune, and he’s so powerful; he surely can escape the Ten Thousand Gods Sect’s clutches!"
...
"It has stopped!"
In a corner of the Withered Forest.
Wang Luocheng, although seemingly calm and collected, kept his gaze fixed towards where the broken secret realm lay. He was slightly surprised as this battle seemed to last longer and suddenly erupted with several powerful forces.
But fortunately,
it’s all over.
"It seems to be over!"
"Haha, no matter how strong you are, is there any chance of surviving an all-out assault by the Ten Thousand Gods Sect? This time, the sect leader himself is presiding over it!"
Although.
Wang Luocheng thought the other party was only a small sect leader, the power they held was real, so wouldn’t it be easy to slay Ye Qingchen?
Thus, borrowing another’s strength to kill, whatever happened within the Withered Forest had nothing to do with him. And Marquis Guangjun wouldn’t face the wrath of Su Moran, making the entire plan, although simple, well-coordinated.
"Ye Qingchen, what will happen to you after falling into the Ten Thousand Gods Sect’s hands?"
"Those people can’t wait to skin you alive!"
Just as Wang Luocheng was feeling triumphant.
Suddenly,
something in his pocket trembled slightly. He took it out and saw it was a Communication Token, a tool he used to communicate with Xiao Qi’an. After glancing around at Ning Hill, Xu Hao, and the others on guard, he flicked his finger, enveloping himself in a Silence Barrier.
"Sect Leader Xiao, how are things?" Wang Luocheng asked with a smile, "Has Ye Qingchen fallen into your hands?"
However,
the token did not return the expected response; instead, there was a prolonged silence. This silence made Wang Luocheng’s heart flutter with unease, a bad thought crossing his mind.
He hastily asked, "Could it be..."
"Correct! Ye Qingchen has escaped!"
Rumble!
Wang Luocheng was struck as if by lightning, his eyes widened, and the token slipped from his hands unknowingly. Only after a moment did he mumble in disbelief, "Five at the Human Immortal Second Layer, two at the Human Immortal Third Layer, along with a powerful one at the Human Immortal Fifth Layer..."
"In such a deadly trap, he still managed to survive?"
"But...where is he now?" Wang Luocheng squinted, scanning the entire Withered Forest, then his eyes gleamed coldly, "No matter where you hide, you cannot escape death!"
...
As the Ten Thousand Gods Sect and Wang Luocheng began their extensive search for Ye Qingchen,
in a broken secret realm, there was a faint movement.
