Silence!

The entire Yun Ding City was deathly still, you could hear a pin drop.

This heaven-shocking battle.

Half of Yun Ding City was nearly razed to the ground.

But!

What shocked everyone was not this, but Ye Qingchen's battle achievements.

He fought five opponents alone, facing five Half-Step Celestial Saints, yet remained invincible. Such power truly went beyond ordinary imagination. A fierce wind swept through, whipping up the surrounding dust and igniting the flames of battle, but not a single person dared to make a sound.

Everyone was left dumbfounded, gazing at the young man in the sky.

Lin Xuanzi, Ye Yuxin, Monk Jiuru, Chu Xianliu, Lei Xingkong.

Which of these five was not an unparalleled powerhouse in their own right, a foremost figure in the land? Yet now, all had shed their blood over Yun Ding City, falling at Ye Qingchen's feet, serving as fodder for the young man's triumph over the Spirit Coffin Sect.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Ye Qingchen stepped through the void.

Descending step by step.

Each step on the void sounded like a heavy hammer striking everyone's ears. More like a clap of thunder, it crashed down on Lin Jian's heart. His face turned ashen as he looked at the young man descending from the heavens, his heart filled with intense fear.

"The Spirit Coffin Sect, is no more than this!"

Ye Qingchen strolled leisurely with hands behind his back.

His long hair draped over his shoulders, revealing a robust upper body.

Thanks to Yu Luoxuan's spirit medicine, all his scars had vanished, his skin tender as a baby's, without a trace of blemish.

Since cultivating the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, his body had become more proportionate, with almost no excess fat, each inch of flesh brimming with explosive power.

"Lin Jian, what other tricks do you have, feel free to use them!"

Ye Qingchen spoke nonchalantly.

"I..."

Lin Jian shuddered at the words, bitterness swelling in his eyes.

Before the banquet.

He was arrogant, full of hubris.

He thought that once Lin Xuanzi and others made a move, they could control the universe and dominate the winds and clouds.

But the result was that the whole Spirit Coffin Sect, even sacrificing the lives of five Half-Step Celestial Saints, could not capture this young man. The seemingly weak young man now stood proud as a divine demon.

Now.

What tricks did he still have?

"Young Master Ye, your divine prowess leaves me utterly convinced." Lin Jian sighed deeply, trembling as he spoke. "I'm merely a messenger for the Spirit Coffin Sect, I beseech Young Master Ye to show mercy and spare my life!"

Ye Qingchen cast a calm glance at Lin Jian, saying, "Indeed, you are not of the Spirit Coffin Sect, and earlier you gifted me a Celestial Core Grass. It would be somewhat inhumane of me to kill you..."

Lin Jian, upon hearing this, felt a flicker of hope.

Even those nearby thought Ye Qingchen was about to spare Lin Jian. But then they heard Ye Qingchen change his tone, saying, "However, better kill you, for you represent the Spirit Coffin Sect!"

"What?"

Lin Jian was startled, and like a frightened rabbit, he fled urgently into the distance.

"Trying to escape?"

Ye Qingchen snorted coldly, flicking his finger.

Bang!

An invisible powerful Qi streaked across the void, striking Lin Jian's chest. Penetrated by the powerful Qi, he flew backward, dead before hitting the ground.

A practitioner of Profound Pill Ninth Layer, unable to block even a flick from Ye Qingchen.

The scene went deathly silent.

All present felt as if doused with a bucket of icy water, a chilling fear swept their hearts, leaving all Profound Pill Ninth Layer experts quaking with fear.

At this moment.

As Ye Qingchen's gaze swept across, they all lowered their heads.

This was respect for the strong.

From afar.

Countless people of Yun Ding City gazed at the ruins, watching the figures who could shake the city with a single stomp now groveling before a young man, feeling nothing in their lifetime could be more exciting than today.

"From this day forth, this young man will likely become famous across Tongxuan Continent!"

Many looked at the young man, sighing deeply in their hearts.

They knew.

The Spirit Coffin Sect had provoked an unprecedented enemy.

There was a chance its four or five hundred years of foundation would be destroyed by this young man.

...

Very soon.

The entire Yun Ding City returned to calm.

Though the Red Stone Inn was destroyed, the banquet continued elsewhere, with people nervously moving to another tavern, offering earnest toasts. Many hurriedly presented various gifts to curry favor with Ye Qingchen.

"The Liu Family of Yun Ding City presents an Earth Grade Middle Spirit Medicine!"

"The Zhao Family of Yun Ding City presents a unique Earth Grade Middle Blade Manual!"

"The Bai Family of Yun Ding City presents an Earth Grade Middle Pill Formula!"

...

Nearby, attendants had already taken out the gifts brought by each family. The offerings from the Tongxuan Continent left even the worldly Qin Wentian a bit astounded.

One must know.

In the Cyan Continent, even an Earth Grade Middle martial skill could serve as the True Martial Sect's treasure. However, in this Tongxuan Continent, even just Yun Ding City alone offered five or six Earth Grade Middle items.

"What to do with these things?"

For a while.

Even Qin Wentian was at a loss.

These items were truly too precious.

"Since they sent them, let's accept them!" Ye Qingchen glanced over; aside from some spirit medicines and pill formulas, there wasn't much of use. However, he had acquired several good things from Lin Xuanzi and the others.

These five individuals were high-ranking members of the Spirit Coffin Sect, possessing many pills, martial skills, and treasures. Yet the most intriguing find was the "Jiuli Sword Manual" found on Chu Xianliu.

This turned out to be an Earth Grade Top-level manual.

Chu Xianliu obtained it from a Sword Immortal Secret Realm, detailing the highest sword control techniques. If he hadn't received orders from the Spirit Coffin Sect to come to Yun Ding City, he probably would have been in seclusion training.

"If Chu Xianliu had truly mastered this swordsmanship, this battle might have ended in disaster!"

Ye Qingchen held the sword manual, feeling a sense of relief.

The sword manual's depth was unmatched, even surpassing the 'Slate Four Forms' he invented in the True Martial Sect. Had Chu Xianliu fully learned this swordsmanship and confronted him later, he might not have surpassed Chu Xianliu even employing all his hidden cards.

"However, now it becomes a great advantage for me!"

"With this sword manual, even if there are Celestial Saint powerhouses in the Spirit Coffin Sect, I can still tread over them!"

Ye Qingchen contemplated, his eyes turning to Qin Wentian:

"Elder Qin, how is your recovery now?"

"After taking a Holy Essence Pill tonight, I've recovered quite a bit," Qin Wentian said with satisfaction. "Ye the kid, your alchemy is nearly catching up to Old Man Kong! Once I'm fully healed, the two of us will attack the Spirit Coffin Sect together!"

"No need!"

Ye Qingchen shook his head, and under Qin Wentian's puzzled gaze, he smiled faintly, looking deeply into the distance:

"I alone am enough!"
