The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 243: Heading to Shanghai

In Tianjing, Ye Qingtian sensed someone tampering with the array in Jin City and snorted coldly, "A fool seeking death!"

This sword strike was like a bolt of lightning slicing through the void, destined to tear everything apart.

But the array of the Mountain and River Wonders was unyielding. This overwhelming sword strike was unmatched, yet it was forcibly halted.

"Boom!"

A terrifying force rebounded, first shattering the sword aura, then crashing towards the palanquin.

"Crack!"

The force rebounded from the array and directly smashed the palanquin with a single strike.

The four maids of Young Master Wu Chen were sent flying.

As for Young Master Wu Chen, he rose into the air, stepping on petals.

He appeared calm and composed, yet inside, his heart surged with turbulent waves.

His palanquin was actually a spiritual artifact with formidable defensive capabilities.

If it hadn’t blocked this terrifying attack, Young Master Wu Chen wouldn’t have remained so composed.

Clad in white, Young Master Wu Chen was as handsome as a celestial god, graceful and spotless, like an exiled immortal descending to the mortal world.

Legend had it that Young Master Wu Chen was untouched by dust, and no one had ever seen him land on the ground.

"I seem to have discovered the secret of the Mountain and River Wonders. There is an ancient array guarding this place. This array must be hundreds of years old, set up by a once-supreme power. That Ye Xiaoyao is indeed impressive, to have discovered and even utilized the array. Truly a talent that shocks the world!"

Young Master Wu Chen was very excited.

"To use such a terrifying array to guard something means the treasure hidden beneath the Mountain and River Wonders must be extraordinary. Once it emerges, it might set all of Huaxia ablaze!"

A hint of greed appeared in Young Master Wu Chen’s eyes, looking at the Mountain and River Wonders as if viewing prey.

Then, Young Master Wu Chen stepped on petals and left into the air.

"Senior Brother, this array was set up by Ye Xiaoyao, wasn’t it?"

Chu Yinjun asked curiously.

"It doesn’t seem like it! Young Master Wu Chen said it was set up by a supreme power hundreds of years ago!"

Chu Nan was also not sure.

"Indeed, it’s terrifying, even nearly harming Young Master Wu Chen! But the fact that Young Master Ye can use this array is even more frightening."

Chu Yujun was astonished.

Once again, news spread in the Huaxia Martial Arts Realm: The Master of the Wangyue Pavilion Hidden Tower, Young Master Wu Chen, had arrived at the Mountain and River Wonders in Jin City, injuring Ye Xiaoyao’s subordinates as a warning, demanding the quick return of Wangyue Pavilion’s assets. Otherwise, Young Master Wu Chen would personally confront Ye Xiaoyao.

It was akin to a declaration of battle: Young Master Wu Chen was challenging Ye Xiaoyao.

The Wangyue Pavilion is a legendary existence.

And Young Master Wu Chen of the Wangyue Pavilion is even more of a legend, with few rumors about him due to his rare ventures into the Mortal World.

But those who truly understood the Martial Arts Realm knew that Young Master Wu Chen was incredibly terrifying, having even guided Ye Fengtian.

He also controlled the core of the Wangyue Pavilion: the Hidden Tower.

Apart from the legendary Pavilion Master, Young Master Wu Chen represented the strongest of the Wangyue Pavilion, and no one knew the extent of his terrors.

For such powerful figures, the Huaxia Dragon List held no significance at all.

But some seasoned veterans stated that Young Master Wu Chen was actually listed on the international rankings, which included superpowers from around the world.

Although the Northern Army and others held international reputations, being listed on the international rankings was impossible for them.

"I speculate that ultimately, Ye Xiaoyao will still face off against Young Master Wu Chen!"

"I think so too. Given Ye Xiaoyao’s character, he would never return what belongs to the Wangyue Pavilion!"

"This battle is truly eagerly anticipated!"

...

The Martial Arts Realm once again was in uproar. If this battle commenced, its impact would far surpass that of the Five Dragons of Huaxia battle.

After all, the Wangyue Pavilion represented the Law Enforcers of the Mortal Martial Arts Realm, symbolizing authority.

Ye Qingtian was challenging authority.

All of Tianjing’s major families watched gleefully.

Ye Qingtian hadn’t been arrogant for long, and Young Master Wu Chen was already making his move.

The Du Family’s faces darkened with worry for Ye Qingtian.

They hadn’t worried about the battle with Li Dongxu because they weren’t familiar with him.

But now everyone in Tianjing was talking about Young Master Wu Chen, and the stories grew more fantastical, naturally causing concern.

They thought that with Ye Xiaoyao around, they would be carefree, but troubles came so quickly.

"Qingtian, what do you think about this matter?"

Du Lijun asked seriously.

Ye Qingtian smiled, "Grandfather, I’m going to Shanghai first to find Long Wuya!"

"And what about Young Master Wu Chen?"

All eyes of the Du Family turned towards him.

"Oh, him. Let him dance around for a few days first!"

"Ah?"

Hearing Ye Qingtian’s response, the Du Family was shocked.

They clearly hadn’t taken Young Master Wu Chen seriously.

After much persuading by the Du Family, Ye Qingtian finally left the ancestral home of the Ye Family.

He, along with Shen Huamo, set off for Shanghai.

Shanghai was comparable to Tianjing, full of powerful families, many martial arts clans, and many spiritual technique families.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Shen Huamo disguised himself to look very ordinary.

...

Somewhere in Tianjing.

"Number Two, Number One has already tracked the source of that power attribute. It’s in Shanghai! You are ordered to go immediately!"

Twelve said.

"By the way, Number One also reminded you that the power of that attribute might be discovered by the Spirit Masters of Shanghai, and they might intervene, or even Long Wuya might get involved! Be careful!"

Number Two, full of confidence, said, "No problem! Let Number One rest assured. When have I ever messed up?"

"Yes, Number One trusts you greatly."

Number Two suddenly sighed, "Ah, I wonder if that kid Ye Xiaoyao will come? If he sees me display my power, he might just obediently worship me as his master."

"Ye Xiaoyao is still in Tianjing, probably won’t leave. But Young Master Wu Chen is about to make a move on him!"

Thirteen said.

Thinking of something, Number Two couldn’t help but laugh.

"Hahaha, such a thing is happening. Well, I will go to watch the battle. When Young Master Wu Chen beats him to a sorry state, I’ll step in to save him. Let’s see if he doesn’t worship me as his master! Although Young Master Wu Chen is strong, I should have no problem saving someone from him!"

Number Two stood with hands behind his back, overflowing with confidence.

"Number Two, we are ready for everything. Let’s head to Shanghai!"

"Alright, let’s go!"

...

By afternoon, Ye Qingtian and his companion arrived in Shanghai.

"Hmm?"

At the airport, Ye Qingtian noticed many martial artists and spirit masters.

"Is there any major event happening in Shanghai recently?"

Ye Qingtian asked.

"Master, I’m not sure. I’ll check right away!"

Shen Huamo said.

Upon arriving at the booked hotel, Ye Qingtian immediately deployed the Netherworld Forbidden Technique.

He wanted to investigate if the mysterious power he encountered en route to Tianjing could be found in Shanghai.

For a moment, time in Shanghai stood still, and everything came to a halt.

Everything became clear in Ye Qingtian’s eyes.

He sensed spirit masters, powerful martial artists, and various secrets of Shanghai.

"Hmm? What’s this?"

Suddenly, Ye Qingtian’s expression changed, as if he had sensed something.
