"Who?"

The sudden voice startled the two anxious people, causing them to quickly look back, only to see Ye Qingchen standing there with an icy expression.

Chu Yao suddenly covered her mouth, looking at the person before her in disbelief.

Kong Shun also stood up abruptly, his eyes nearly bulging out.

"What's wrong? Don't recognize me?"

Ye Qingchen calmly said.

"Weren't you missing in Abyssal Valley?"

Chu Yao instinctively said.

Beside her, Kong Shun nodded repeatedly.

It must be known.

Even though they were miles away, they had heard about the Heaven and Earth Golden Lotus outside Abyssal Valley. That Golden Lotus had nearly attracted all the strongest presences in Black Abyss City, even Ye Qingchen and Qin Wentian ventured into Abyssal Valley.

Initially, Chu Yao and Kong Shun still held hope, believing Ye Qingchen and they could come out from Abyssal Valley at any time.

But a month passed without anyone stepping out from the secret realm, so everyone thought Ye Qingchen and Qin Wentian had probably perished inside Abyssal Valley.

"Oh, you mean Abyssal Valley! That was the ultimate trap laid by Mo Luo Celestial Saint as preparation for his revival. Many did perish in there, but I killed Mo Luo Celestial Saint and walked straight out of the secret realm!"

Ye Qingchen casually replied.

"And what about your issues with the Spirit Coffin Sect?"

Kong Shun eagerly asked.

"It's all resolved! After coming out of Abyssal Valley, I fought my way to Xingyue City and destroyed the Spirit Coffin Sect's Supreme Elder, flattening Spirit Coffin Sect. Their Sect Leader personally bowed in apology, so the grudges are settled!"

Ye Qingchen sat down, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it down in one gulp.

"What?"

Kong Shun was dumbfounded, even Chu Yao's mouth opened wide, her eyes round with amazement.

The Supreme Elder of the Spirit Coffin Sect!

What a significant existence that was? In terms of identity and status, perhaps even the emperor of Celestial Peak Country couldn't compare. But in Ye Qingchen's words, it sounded like he casually killed him, how could one not be shocked?

Moreover.

Ye Qingchen killed their Supreme Elder, yet the Spirit Coffin Sect not only didn't vow to fight to the death, they even apologized?

"Is this really true?"

Chu Yao couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's true!" Ye Qingchen casually said, "The Spirit Coffin Sect's Supreme Elder's full-strength sword was blocked by me, he then fell because he exhausted his longevity, the whole Xingyue City saw it! The Spirit Coffin Sect's Vice Sect Leader wanted to fight to the death, but I killed him with one sword. However, this news will soon spread..."

"What happened to Old Ghost Qin?" Kong Shun quickly asked.

"Elder Qin was severely injured in his battle against Mo Luo Celestial Saint in Abyssal Valley, and now he's recuperating in Yun Ding City!"

Ye Qingchen chuckled and said, "I destroyed five Half-Step Celestial Saints of the Spirit Coffin Sect in Yun Ding City and conveniently refined a batch of Holy Essence Pills for him! If all goes well, Elder Qin might have the chance to step into the Celestial Saint Realm once he recovers!"

Seeing Ye Qingchen speak so breezily, Chu Yao felt it was incredulous.

However.

She ultimately was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Qingchen was back, and no one could dare to move against Taotian Palace anymore!

Kong Shun laughed heartily.

Tongxuan Continent was ultimately far from them, and he had been worried all this time. Now with Ye Qingchen's return, everything was finally settled!

"What's going on with the Eight Major Sects?" Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes, his voice slightly cold, "I just heard you both say that when Qin and I were absent, the Eight Major Sects joined forces to pressure Taotian Palace, even wanting us to leave Celestial Peak Country?"

Kong Shun hesitated to speak.

Beside him, Chu Yao couldn't help but leap up and said:

"Isn't it the True Martial Sect's doing? You spoiled the True Martial Sect's plans at the Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference, making them lose face. So, as soon as they learned you and Qin Wentian disappeared, they instigated the Eight Major Sects to attack Taotian Palace!"

Speaking of this, Chu Yao sneered coldly, "The Eight Major Sects already held grudges against you, so they naturally hit it off and showed no mercy to Taotian Palace! If you hadn't returned, Taotian Palace wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer!"

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes, a cold gleam visible, "Good one, True Martial Sect, good one, Eight Major Sects!"

"Ye the kid, those Eight Major Sects have already colluded, their power is immense now..." Kong Shun hurriedly said.

"Humph, immense power? Like ants!"

Ye Qingchen sneered coldly and said sternly:

"Even if they have immense power, how can they be more powerful than Spirit Coffin Sect? I originally thought the Eight Major Sects would obediently settle down. Since they are unwilling to let it go, I shall play along!"

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes.

Even though his tone was ordinary, both Chu Yao and Kong Shun could hear the killing intent in his words.

"You both wait here, I'll go meet the Eight Major Sects!"

Ye Qingchen took a step forward, directly transforming into a streak of light, heading towards the location of the Eight Major Sects.

Leaving only Chu Yao and Kong Shun, the two of them, in the hall, looking at each other in dismay.

"This time, I fear it will be Cyan Continent's turn to stir up a bloody storm!"

Kong Shun looked in the direction Ye Qingchen had departed and couldn't help but sigh.

...

Meanwhile.

Celestial Peak Country remained extremely peaceful.

Celestial Essence Sword Sect.

The grand hall.

Many high-ranking members of the sect were gathered, joyfully discussing.

"Haha, Taotian Palace is finally going to fall! I've waited nearly a year, finally going to witness this happen. It's been a long time since I vented my anger and removed the thorn in my throat!"

The Great Elder of the Sword Sect, Song Qihua laughed heartily.

Others heard this.

They also nodded repeatedly.

For the Eight Major Sects, the existence of Taotian Palace was simply a thorn in their side. The higher Ye Qingchen's potential and talent appeared, the more furious they became!

This should have originally belonged to their glory.

However.

For them, if they couldn't have it, then it should be destroyed!

"Indeed, within three days at most, Taotian Palace will be completely annihilated!"

The Sect Leader of Celestial Essence Sword Sect, Han Kun, slightly nodded, though his brows furrowed, appearing worried:

"But my biggest concern is the exact news about Ye Qingchen and Qin Wentian, which has yet to be reported back! Besides, before this, I seemed to hear others say Ye Qingchen seemed to appear within Taotian Palace!"

"Sect Leader, you need not worry, how dangerous is the Abyssal Valley Secret Realm? Beyond those vicious beings from Black Abyss City, there was also the Great Elder Yuan Shisan of Spirit Coffin Sect's Slaughter Hall. That brat Ye Qingchen has probably long since perished inside the Abyssal Valley Secret Realm..."

Han Kun heard and couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter laugh.

Indeed.

Whenever a secret realm opens, it invariably brings about a bloody slaughter; no matter how strong Ye Qingchen was, how could he survive in such a secret realm? Even if he miraculously came out, Spirit Coffin Sect wouldn't spare him!

However.

Just as this thought formed.

Suddenly.

A faint voice echoed from the void:

"Who said I've perished?"
